FAQ

Why this ROM encrypting my /data partition? How to disable it?
FlokoROM enabled forceencrypt for /data partition as default to avoid the issue ( https://github.com/FlokoROM-Devices...mmit/d83e5ebd7b826d53b3aa49faa3d824c397e4ba2f )
and keep your data securely.

If you don't want encryption, you can use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 .
note: This Disabler require formatted /data . you can use it at first time you flash Floko. DO NOT use for already encrypted /data .

first time: in TWRP, Format Data(THIS WILL ERASE YOUR DATA) -> Flash Floko -> OpenGApps(optional) -> Magisk(recommended) -> Flash Disabler .
update: Flash Floko -> OpenGApps(optional) -> Magisk(recommended) -> Flash Disabler.

What is "recommended TWRP"?
some TWRP couldn't decrypt /data correctly. we recommend mokee's one.

Why FlokoROM doesn't support "Fast Charge"?
Hardware issue. Mi Pad 4 DOES NOT support ANY "fast charge", 5V/2A is max (depend on charger and cable).

I'm using MoKee's TWRP-20190117-3.2.3.0-4-clover.img

> Flash no-dm-verity-no-encryption.zip before 1st boot:

does it work with Pie??

 

[dzidexx]

"flash....zip"
I don't know.

I was very surprised during the booting.
I need to make a full copy int.mem. and do the format data.
Now I see into LRT TWRP thread - it has no verity, no encryption in adv.options. @1indwurm

Mokee's twrp mounts encrypted Internal Memory automatically but doesn't ask for pass/pin/etc. Encryption hasn't any sense.

I can't find option:
Quick settings pulldown - left/right/both sides.

If I flash this rom, it will encrypt my clover automatically?

 

[dzidexx]

Yes it will encrypt, all data will not be deleted. You can try to flash mentioneded .zip or option in LRT TWRP.
I didn't do that yet. @dyingbread

I am not a fan of enrcypted device. So i am not interested if this rom automatically encrypt my device. I just don't want the trouble of formatting data if I move to a different rom.

 

[amityg]

After installation and configurations I was forced to purchase another Mi Pad 4 to test software.
Very smooth and responsive. Thank you.

 

[stangri]

Can someone please explain the difference between this and that: https://treble.andro.plus

 

[1indwurm]

Can someone please explain the difference between this and that: https://treble.andro.plus

Ok.
First, we provide this officially and this is traditional-style ROM. Release per device, support hardware specific features, and you can flash this ROM for clover only.

...Aaaand, treble.andro.plus provides "phh-treble" style FlokoROM GSI (Generic System Image) unofficially. You can flash it for all Treble-ready (A-only and A/B) devices.

 

[stangri]

Thank you for the outstanding ROM. I've tried a few Oreo-based ROMs before, so I've had bootloader unlocked for a while. All the other Pie-based ROMs I've tried before failed to support Mi Pad 4 properly.

Flashed Mokee TWRP, from TWRP I wiped data, flashed this ROM, OpenGapps 9.0 micro, Magisk 18.1, wiped cache/dalvik cache, booted in and restored most of my apps/setup from the cloud as if Gapps were installed natively and got the Magisk Manager app after another reboot.

Fantastic ROM, granted I haven't tried BT yet, but WiFi definitely works better than on Oreo AICP Mordiford, screen has rounded corners, etc. Thank you for making this ROM available!

 

[crass00]

Rom has been near perfect, Thank you 1indwurm

The one thing I have found a problem with is charging. I have tried a few chargers and they are very slow or don't register at all, after been fast on the stock rom. I never checked the charging speed before so can't give a before and after comparison but it seems at least twice as slow. On one of my chargers it seemed to be draining the battery instead of charging it. On the charger that was reasonable speed it was charging at 950mA but that was on a charger that should do 2.4A
@stangri - BT works well, I didn't have any drop outs when I used to have occasional dropouts in busy areas

 

[stangri]

The one thing I have found a problem with is charging.

@1indwurm -- another thing I've discovered is force-landscape orientation is lost after reboot. If I disable rotation when the device is in the landscape mode it works fine until reboot. After reboot it's stuck in portrait, I have to enable rotation again, rotate into landscape and then lock rotation again.

All other roms I've tried, once you lock the device in landscape mode, it would survive reboots and after reboot would be in landscape mode again with rotation locked.

 

[1indwurm]

sorry for the delay in releasing a new build.

First, we have to tell you that we're working on switch to the crDroid-based version (from AICP-based) now.

crDroid use LineageOS device trees(familiar to us), so I wish we can make it more stable and work better than before...
and finally we don't have to nuke LiveDisplay and some Lineage HALs!

Done:

• pass the build
• flash it over old release (no need to wipe /data !)
• boot
• Wi-Fi
• Grayscale and LiveDisplay
• DT2W
• Smart cover
• basic rebrand
• new OTA

WIP or TODO:

• WIP: Extra Settings is a little buggy FIXED
• WIP: rebranding
• TODO: fix screen rotation
• TODO: fix charging speed

need sources?

reproduced in the latest release and testing(crDroid-based) ver. Did(or would) you test that on Mokee? (our build is based on mokee's tree, not xiaomi-sdm660)

 

[lvnatic]

Looking forward to the new version!

 

[1indwurm]

Finally, FlokoROM v2 is released! read OP and download it (and you can flash it over older releases, no need to wipe /data).

 

[amityg]

Link not working....but I have all day to try and download.

 

[Adamooo]

Flashed over v1 and keep saying google play services stop auutomatically, play store either, what it is the problem ? I'll have to do a clean install?
