[ROM][12.1][raphael][OFFICIAL] Pixel Extended ROM [12/08/2022]

[sgoakley]

Hey all.

Installed this ROM just now on my Mi 9T Pro, which installed fine. However, I forgot to flash something to decrypt the data, so now TWPR doesn't ask to decrypt and everything in /sdcard is jibberish. Any fix for this? Or, is it a clean flash again to fix?

Only fix is to format data and flash a12 dfe. One needs to be decrypted until some recovery comes out which can support A12 encryption/decryption. However it's better to use Navven Johnson's lates unofficial orfox recovery to stay secure

Do you have a link to that Recovery for the Mi 9T Pro?

 

[sgoakley]

Sorted it.

• Flashed OrangeFox via ADB
• Booted into Recovery
• Formatted data in OrangeFox
• Re-Installed OS

All seems to be OK now and I can actually see the files correctly in recovery and not encrypted jibberish.

Hi Guys !!!!!
new update for you.
See second post for changelog

Enjoy the PEX

 

[JamesAb]

Jeez... been bitten by encryption too. Flash instructions not exceedingly clear (to put it lightly).

Well, got around it by myself. That is what is great about XDA... you learn to depend on yourself and yourself only.

Great ROM. For now the only let down is not being able to use ANX Camera, but I will live with GCAM at least till we have an ANX for A12.

Battery life is outstanding. It's at least 25% better than what I was having with PEX 11. It's like PEX 11 had some sort of problem. Battery is so good that I can now limit charge to 80% and still have more than 20% at the end of the day. Perfect!

Good day, Devs! Can I request a feature? A feature that can remove objects from photos like in the Google Pixel 6 (Pro?) I think it's called "Magic Eraser". Thanks for the answer in advance!

Video playback stutters a lot. Experienced stutters in browser, default video player and MX player also. Is there any solution ?

Hi all,

I have a question. Have seen some people in this topic who are having the same issue.
Have read the topic but couldn't find the solution so I hope you can help me.

- Phone was on the original MIUI V12.5.1.0.RFKEUXM with Locked Bootloader

So I performed the next steps:
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Installed [email protected]_3.zip
- Wipe Cache - Dalvik - System - Data - Vendor
- Flashed latest firmware (fw_raphael_miui_RAPHAELEEAGlobal_V12.5.1.0.RFKEUXM_dd92b7128a_11.0.zip)
- Flashed PixelExtended_raphael-12.0-20220125-1941-OFFICIAL.zip
- Format Data
- Rebooted system
- Everything is working fine.

Except when I try to boot into Orangefox Recovery I get stuck at the Fastboot screen. I can't boot the device into system anymore.
If I try to install Orangefox in fastboot the install completes just fine, but when I want to boot into recovery (vol up + pwr) I get to the fastboot screen again.
I can start Orangefox by hitting the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command.
Device can be booted into system from recovery or using "fastboot continue" in Fastboot screen.

Any clue on how to fix this problem?

The Rom is working very well and is suitable as a daily driver.

Am I the only one who's experiencing battery drain with this ROM? I have to recharge my phone twice, sometimes even three times a day. How can it be fixed? That goes for all Android 12 ROMs I tried (this one, Evolution OS and PixelExperience). Noone else seem to have this issue.

That's really strange. My experience is that battery life is outstanding compared to PEX11 on Android 11. Did you see on battery usage stats what app is draining it?

In my case, after a full day it's at 32% (down from 80% as I don't fully charge). Biggest offenders are Whatsapp 23% and Screen 15% usage...

That's the strangest thing, nothing suspicious in usage stats. It's YouTube 16%, Chrome 11%, VK 8%. Screen is 13% and android system is 6%. I've read through most of the android 12 ROMs threads here and, I believe it was in Evolution X thread, I found a guy with the same issue. He said it was because the phone didn't go into deep sleep mode because of the Bluetooth. I turned off 'search for Bluetooth devices even when Bluetooth is off' feature, deleted cash and data on system Bluetooth app and turned off adaptive connectivity. It's a lot better now, at least there's no battery drain when the phone is not used. Battery life still does not seem long enough though, but it seems to be enough to last almost until the end of the day.

Does anyone have this on a mirror? latest A12 is not downloading from PE site, i guess they are having storage issues. someone had to do the same for the Mi Mix 2S Polaris build. Thanks.

I couldn't find any "official" mirrors. Here you go what I uploaded myself.

I know it's not ideal. Check the checksum or something.

Clean Flash
- Back up all your data
- Wipe Cache - Dalvik - System - Data - Vendor
- Flash latest firmware required by ROM
- Flash Rom
- Flash DFE if you don't want to be encrypted, otherwise you need the format data
- reboot system

What is difficult and unclear?

You took the time to cut-n-paste, really?

Well, for starters, there's no recommendation on recovery or DFE to be used... as if it didn't matter at all. Maybe it's obvious for people flashing stuff weekly... certainly not my case.

But no worries. We all eventually get to where we want. I just feel it could be easier.

I read that you are very ironic
I'm sorry if with passion and for free I put my time at your disposal. I see that you appreciate it very much.
sorry if i wasted your time.

Hello,

Really sorry man, yeah... I shouldn't have been ironic.

Anyway, I'm truly grateful for your work. It's the best rom I've ever used for the K20 Pro.
As for the instructions I get it that sometimes it's hard to grasp what's obvious and what's not when someone like you write down what one unknown person should do.

I think that the important part is, even if the instructions are not perfect, one can install it successfully if there's enough will. People just need to read the foruns a bit more. It's all right then I guess.

Keep up the good work and thanks again.
