I recently updated to the 20230117 build via OTA.
Then I -extracted the boot.img via shell -patched it with Magisk -flashed it via fastboot, but I got a bootloop and couldn't get past the MI logo.
I had to sideload the ArrowOS build again.

It works now but I am still without root. Anyone having similar experiences?

I just did it all over again and now root works just fine

Upgraded OTA from the December built to this January 17 one without problems. I installed Magisc in inactive slot before reboot and I was able to maintain root. The installation took 2.5 hours for some reason. I now have native face unlock which is nice. Also Chrome doesn't crash anymore when location is enabled.
The only minor issue I encountered is that the face unlock did not work at some point after update "due to inactivity". I input the pin code and was able to enter but I found this a bit odd. Otherwise the ROM is flawless

Next to random shutdowns I can confirm that since last update Bluetooth is messed up for some devices (ford car audio). Constant connect disconnect cycle.
Resetting, clearing app cache and the usual does not help.
Anyone experienced this?

Was a clean a13 install. Updates ota

its a security feature. once you logged in w/ pin again, it works again. it only happens, when you havent used the pad for some time.

Nope, everything works perfectly on the latest build in my case.

I haven't tried to connect it to car audio yet but all my bluetooth devices works like a charm

Does anyone else have this issue with the bottom bar? It disappears when I swap apps but it still comes up from time to time. I have the appropriate navigation bar turned off, so I'm not sure what the cause of it is.

The recents overview (recent apps UI) is now (since last two android versions now*) a part of Launcher3 components and not frameworks (unlike previous old android versions) so changing launcher nowadays is not that smooth sailing experience unless that launcher is based on current android sources and has the recents overview component to actually replace launcher3 (and to replace, would actually need you to mod system)

Was anyone able to run genshin impact smoothly? I'm getting frequent freezes every 3-4 seconds.
Mine run smoothly on the highest setting with minor framedrop when the device gets hot (which not a problem for me because im using a cooler)

Something i realized is that the device's performance is not running at it's full speed for some times after it was shutted down (reboot/shutdown)

Which again, not a problem for me since i could just do something else for a couple of hours and it will go back to it's full speed

Weird، I tried disabling all magisk modules and went even further to update my adreno driver with different configurations from poco x3 pro, since it has the same processor. 3Dmark shows higher numbers than stock but no changes from stock when it comes to genshin. I'll try reinstalling the app again and maybe reset my device.

What I'm doing is, after installing the update don't reboot, go to magisk, install and use the option "install to inactive slot (after OTA)". When you reboot you will have the latest build rooted ;)
I did find that method later on. Wasn't aware it existed till after I'd already pushed the boot img in haha.

    Is there a solution for the high pitched sound in call apps like Google meet?

    Some people do sideload and some flashed the magisk patched boot.img

    Sry i can't tell you and/or find the thread for that, but im pretty sure a lot of people already made a tutorial about it in this forum


    I personally dont know what does it do. I just followed this guy's post
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-pad-5-nabu-official.4502749/post-87733027


    I dont know, never tried it but i've tried some experimental cusrom on another device before and my experience wasn't so great

    Sry man, im just another casual user. I can't help you much in technical case
    After rebooting 5 times I got a version of Dolby Atmos (seems to be old) and the bug disappeared after an hour. Magisk Modules needs to reboot to apply but luckily I think there aren't any which I want because I don't need anything I think except if you highly recommend something.

    Try to find a solution to root! It seems like it's successfully flashing magisk 15.2 but it does not root the system!
    My device is already rooted via Sideload

    when i check fastboot version with: fastboot --version. This is the result instead of the new version: C:\Android\fastboot.exe: unknown option -- version. So i just deleted it and add the new platform tools into the env variable. And That's all
    Hmmm, that's too complicated for me... I'm back on latest Global MIUI and I'll wait until an update us out which gives that problem. Bit thanks anyway.

    Did anybody test if this ROM also works on "elish" (Mi Pad 5 Pro M2105K81AC)?
    This is only for Mi Pad 5 (NABU). Any other devices will get a bootloop. Maybe you can find an unofficial ROM.

    Mi Pen and Mi Keyboard both work
    High pitched audio issues on voice should be fixed
    Other improvements and changes

    Have any issues flashing? Read the goddamn instructions post https://kubersharma001.com/arrowos-for-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu

    What firmware to use? Any that works for you if you can't decide to use whatever your region 's fw is. I see a lot of people blindly flashing CN fw.

    Do not flash stupid mods that break system and come back to me complaining. If you wanna mod, learn to deal with it.

    Hello, guys. I have been super busy so I may not be posting anything on XDA and hardly anything over my TG channels. OTAs will keep releasing/builds will be up on the website.
    ALSO:
    I do not own the Xiaomi Keyboard, it seems the latest changes broke it for some users which should be fixed in the latest release.

    A lot of people are asking me if this is a good tablet for art or not. I am a simple man and have very basic tablet needs. I do not own a pen (too expensive) nor can I draw something good. Please, can someone with a pen or knowledge of apps which works best for artists give their short insights so I can refer people here?

    Planning to buy a Mi pen to support it
    if anyone is donating, please mention "nabu" or "mipad5" in the payment description
    Gonna save for it, those donations will help

    edit: Mi pen is now supported from 14/oct builds :D
