As said previously in this thread. I still have audio issues mostly with Spotify and Youtube. Spotify cuts out every few seconds and starts up again and Youtube is very laggy on video load.

I saw the need to update firmware, but I checked with adb shell getprop I already have one of the versions suggested by the developer. 12.5.4.0 Global As you can see here.

I also restarted multiple times and cleared the cache yet the problem persists. Can someone help? This is unusable.

I don't think getprop works, I am sure I'm on 12.5.6 but that says 12.5.4 also.

You're probably not on it either...

I just flashed 12.5.6 Global with TWRP and it indeed still says 12.5.4. Is there any other way to check? In a few hours I will be able to check in my car if it's fixed.

EDIT: The update fixed it. Someone with more knowledge should figure out why getprops says the wrong version.

I just flashed the October 9 update, and now videos randomly pauses in all apps, my internet connection is fine. Is there a fix for this one?

Is there a way to downgrade to the September update?

The adb command merely reads the build.prop file. The contents of which is entirely under the control of the ROM developer and doesn't actually reflect what the firmware version is. A better value to check is the baseband version, as this often gets updated with a firmware flash.

Settings -> About Phone -> Android version -> Baseband version

This number isn't very friendly, doesn't include the firmware version, and is different for geographical areas. However, it does tend to change with firmware updates. There is an option to Copy this value to the clipboard by long-pressing on it.

I was on latest MIUI before I tried the rom (EU 12.5.6). I also had the audio and video issues. Also it seemed very sluggish in general.

Now I'm using pixel experience plus and have no issues. It's very fast and no sound problems.

I have been considering the Pixel Experience ROM. Does it include the Dolby Atmos stuff? I really miss the compander in that bit of software.
 
I'm a bit confused with this one. I need to install magisk, and if i'm not mistaken the F3 has an A/B partition system so

to install the patched magisk img i should do:

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

But when i do that, the rom gets stuck on the loading arrow logo.

Should i just patch it with:

fastboot flash boot boot.img ?

Edit: Actually no, that gives the same result, stuck on the loading arrow logo.


Can anyone explain how to install the patched magisk file on this one ?

You can do this an easier way. Just use the Magisk installable zip file you can find in the internet. To do this, use TWRP (link to detailed instruction is in the first post) via "fastboot boot <twrp img file>", then simply install the zip. I did it this way and... it just works.

This method didn't help, still exactly the same result, stuck at the arrow loading logo... :(
I really wish i didn't need magisk :/

Edit: Did it with "flashboot flash boot_ab" and it works like a charm, thanks for your help :)

Ok, why didn't i try this rom sooner, it's absolutely amazing.

Blazing fast, battery life seems great for now, everything works, banking apps, fingerprints auth, i mean, wow.


Two questions though:

-Right now i'm running the version with the included gapps. What's best, this or maybe running the vanilla with NikGapps basic or something ?

-How do you get rid of the google play widget on the lock screen ? (GAPPS version of the rom installed)

As the Santander UK app has stopped working on the latest version, I thought I would try going back to the previous version to see if it is the latest ROM that 'broke' it.

I can only see the latest version of 11 and 12 on the downloads page; am I being blind?

I'm willing to try this rom. I'm using another aosp rom. I should do a clean installation, right? Do I have to back all my data, including internal sdcard data (photos etc)?

Trying to install ArrowOS on the Poco F3.
Succesfully flashed the images (boot_alioth.img & vendor_boot_alioth.img) as described.
The next stap is executing the command "fastboot reboot recovery" to reboot into the ArrowOS recovery.
When I execute this command I get the following message "fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery".
Anybody else encountered this problem and found a solution?

    I've been using this ROM for a few weeks and it's great but I noticed a couple of things and have tried to fix them.

    The phone doesn't always go into full suspend mode because there's an misconfigured interrupt from the always on processor.
    This should fix it:
    https://github.com/dzo/android_kernel_xiaomi_alioth/commit/7ee79cda883ec09c69ba03d18d1be34291077442


    The display doesn't go into low power mode when the always on display is enabled. There's also a clock with the wrong name in the device tree.
    Here's a quick fix for both those things:
    https://github.com/dzo/android_kernel_xiaomi_alioth/commit/8ac729b52ea721a419b5dd7f21eaa829675b925b

    Attached is a zip containing a new boot.img and also a new dtbo.img, the dtbo isn't really necessary but I updated it to match the panel settings in the stock MIUI tree. In a dark room, the always on display might be quite bright but it's actually using less power than it used to.

    You can check the power usage with the display off by connecting adb over wifi and looking for lines like this in the kernel messages:

    <12>[ 309.495162] healthd: battery l=78 v=4129 t=31.5 h=2 st=3 c=40039 fc=4568000 cc=14 chg=

    It's the c= number that's important, this is the power consumption. With the display off it's about 17K, with the display in low power mode it's about 40K and without my fixes it was over 100K with AOD on.

    flash from fastboot (not recovery) with:

    fastboot flash boot boot.img
    fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

    This boot.img is patched with magisk, has root and should pass safetynet.

    You can also try the kernel out using:

    fastboot boot boot.img

    Unplug usb quickly after it says it's booting or it will just show a charging icon. This won't modify your system, just reboot to go back to the original kernel.

    All this should be quite stable but because the system wasn't previously going into suspend it might show up other bugs in some drivers. Use at your own risk!
