very good

Thank you very much, I will finally have control of my device and not be bound by what manufacturers decide

One question, can I sideload Magisk or is it necessary to patch boot.img?

One question, can I sideload Magisk or is it necessary to patch boot.img?

Sideload magisk should work (adb sideload magisk*.apk - remember to press volume down and power button when it gets stuck at 0% because it will show a package verification prompt) but patching boot.img is best option

1) The search bar in Settings never works.
2) There are too many ways to put to sleep ( double tap on status bar/ anywhere on the lock screen) but not a single double tap to wake method is presented.
3) There some stuttering and bugs but I guess this is on A12 as I also encounter with these on different roms. Not because of this rom.
Other than that this rom is at 90% of working capability. ( Also no 90Hz yet)

Search bar works for searchable items, soke custom prefs don't come in search that I know.

2. should work in official, you are using experimental

3. device only supports 60 and 120, so ....

 

[HidetoraChishu]

Does the pen work?
Edit: sorry, found the info by myself now, it doesn't work.

Edit 2:

1) the search bar in Settings is not working actually. I typed in "Sound" for example, it just stay there and show nothing.
2. The a critical problem where I can't move app in App Drawer to homescreen and favorite tray

Number 2 is just a launcher problem. If you change launcher problem is solved

nice rom, I really like it, thousand times better than miui. excited for the upcoming bugs and fixes.
d2tw is working. some ui performance bugs I guess.

 

[Farhan_Udoy]

where can I get firmware and which firmware should I download? my device is running on miui 13 global and Android 11.

 

[lordzinh]

What's the difference between this and a GSI?

 

[IAMPRISM]

What's the difference between this and a GSI?

This is device specific so it has working auto brightness and the cover actually puts the device to sleep. A gsi is just a generic image so has no device fixes

I cant seem to change my timezone. it always gets back to default.

 

[Dr.Monty]

Thank you very much.

I'm wondering about the possibility of supporting the pen, is this something that will never be possible on aosp?

If it only takes time, I can wait

 

[vietqhoang]

Hi friend, I tested this rom, so smooth, better than MIUI.
But can not connect to xiaomi keyboard case. Is issue like the pen?
Thank mate.

 

[micbanand]

Nice work Guys
Who do I need, to get in Contact with.
For making a Danish Translation option on Crowdin?
I have the time for translating it.

 

[Hidden_Iye]

Thank you so much!

You guys are lifesavers. I almost went near selling the device and using the money to buy something useful. I love the pen but I hate MIUI more. Thank You again for all that you do. <3

Is there any difference between the boot.img and vendor_boot.img in the recovery folder and what can be extracted from the payload.bin file? Probably not.
We're still relying on the MIUI recovery? Yep.
