Rom review & feedback
Hi guys,
I thought I'd do a review quickly to help anyone considering I stalling.
I'll focus on the features I use obviously.
I have been running it for 2 days now. I have xiaomi mi 4 16GB.
Running mk 9.0 20190206
Pro's & items tested:
--------------------------
Whatsapp. Everything works. I didn't experience any of the problems mentioned in the thread. Video calling work, some purple and green in my own picture, however not sure if it was because it is night, it picture perfect on the reciever end. Voice notes also work perfectly.
Google play, music works, headphone jack connects and plays in car. Volume controls work too.
Installation was smooth when I did everything as recommended. First time flashed mk9.0, pico gapps, magisk, I forgot to clear cache/dalvic, and it got stuck on boot logo. Used twrp 3.2.3 I think (what ever the latest is now) 2nd try, cleared cache & dalvic, again, flashed the same files, forgot to clear cache after. Got stuck on logo. Lol Notice a pattern?

.... 3rd attempt, only mk9 & pico gapps. I was wondering whether it was me forgetting to clean up or magisk. This time I cleared before and after. Left magisk off. Booted perfectly, and flashed magisk 18.1 after setup.
I restored my apps via Google, everything auto downloaded, and installed as expected.
YouTube works.
Magisk installed apk 7.00. Passes safetynet. Able to view videos and Stream.
I use the app "multiple apps" to have two WhatsApp accounts, and this worked too.
Truecaller works.
Some apps work better than before, like popups which didnt work on my banking app.
Con's & bugs
----------------
Microsoft intu e Company portal checks for root, which is why I needed magisk too. Intune installs, but from my view, as soon as it attempts to manage my device, the phone reboots. So after signing in, phone reboots, the only gives me enough time to unlock, open app drawer then reboots again. This essentially leaves me in a Bootloop.
To fix, I went into twrp file manager, and deleted Intune from /data/data and I think the other folder was /data/app. Clear dalvic & cache. Reboot. All fine again. I tried it twice. Both times same result and same fix. A little annoying but not a deal breaker.
I opted for a slightly bigger font. When I play chess on the app from chess.com, the one with the green pawn as its icon on the play store, some of the text goes off of the screen, and a bit of blur on the top bar of the app. Like I said I strongly suspect that this is due to my bigger font. I havent looked into this yet.
Recommended for daily driver: yes, no major instabilities so far.
I've come from lineageos 7.1, which was virtually bug free, except for the odd reboot, once a month, but this rom is very smooth and pleasing to use. I think I need to spend a little more time using it, to give a more I jective review, but for now this will be my replacement daily driver.
