Okay Google is still not working in this rom :c

 

[Noel97]

Hey, I installed this ROM and there's EVERYTHING included, this ROM is freaking complete thank you !

But, there are two issues that are bothering me, when I slide down the QS Panel, the borders are like, cropped ? And the clock is kinda ugly where it is. Look at the ss.

[It would be better if you could just put the Quick Settings Panel of the previous release on this update]

Can you PLEASE fix this, thank you very much.

Is hotspot working?

First of all, thank you very much for all the effort preparing the rom. It looks really nice after testing it for a pair of days and I have not found major problems.

The most annoying bug I have experienced is that the clock gets delayed. During 24 hours I can observe how the clock skew can increase to several minutes (5 to 10 minutes) and I am forced to sync the clock (rebooting the system seems to perform such operation).

Any idea of what can be causing this issue? I would provide any log you need but I don't know exactly how to debug it properly.

EDIT: I tried different approaches. The "solution" was to disable the automatic syncing from the network. If I set the time manually, there is no discrepancy between the current time and the one shown by the phone. The strange thing is that before flashing with this rom there was no issue with the date and time provided by my operator. I have read that the NetworkTimeUpdateService may be involved in the process. Anyway, if I could receive some guidance I wouldn't have any problem in debugging it or providing further information.

[covecove1]

I'd like to flash this ROM as I can't stand the MIUI bull****, but I've been using Resurrection Remix on Mi 8 Lite before and no camera app was as good as original MIUI camera app. So, I'd like to ask: does anyone there use ANXCamera and does it work completely, or do you use GCam instead (if so, is it working completely - all sensors, no big shutter lag, no viewfinder lag, no excessive noise...) or do you use another app altogether? Thanks

What could cause booting into fastboot, after installing this ROM (over top of 12.0.7), rather than progressing to system boot?

 

[vlad3647]

happens to me the same,just install 12.03 and after this rom

 

[VD171]

What could cause booting into fastboot, after installing this ROM (over top of 12.0.7), rather than progressing to system boot?

Are you sure the device is entering in FASTBOOT mode automatically?
Is not this RECOVERY mode?

 

[juandani013]
