Hey

I've been trying to install PE on my Mi Mix 3 following these steps:

* Downloaded the Chinese dev rom from miui dot com
* Installed it with MiFlash on Windows 10
* Installed TWRP (TWRP_perseus.img) link on the xiaomi eu
* Downloaded the latest Pixel Experience (190216)
* (Tried to installed Magisk 17.3, tried 19.0, also tried not installing it at all)
* (Tried to install and to not install custom kernel)

In all cases, I end up either with a boot loop or being stuck on the mi logo. Any help ?

I have very similar problems getting AEX running on my Mi MIX 3 (Chinese Edition).
Tried with preinstalling DEV/STABLE Chinese Fastboot Rom
Flashing official twrp (fastboot)
format userdate (twrp)
reboot recovery
install aex rom
install Magisk 18.3 (mix3 edition)/magisk canary build
wipe
reboot
stuck on mi logo

I also have tried the same process with latest xiaomi.eu build (installing in twrp directly before rom installation), same result
Actually I#m trying the GSI variant of aex, but there is no gapps included, and installing opengapps is not working as the packages are going into the wrong folder (/system/app instead of /system/system/app..., tried with temporary symlinking the folders result in force close of setupwizard when starting rom...)

Ah, no worries we have full LOS rom now.

Hello Everyone, I was thinking of picking one of these up tomorrow, I gave my Pixel 2xl to my fiance since her phone broke so I am a bit spoiled when it comes to the google ecosystem, But I am have few questions. I am not sure if this is still being actively worked on ( apologies if it is and for my assumption ) but does Call Screening work on this build? And I know Ok Google on any screen is listed as a broken feature but has anyone found a workaround for this?

Some of the bugs are likely to be fixed in the upcoming build according to the dev. If ur interested, just join the telegram talk. Maybe u can help test it out!

    I built non-GSI Unofficial Pixel Experience P;)

    Download:
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=17lDJ-aOInCXdHQf8KXtoksEhZJgz7gS6

    Changelog is too big for xda, so it's included in download folder.

    If you are using Global /China Stable or third party rom (Xiaomi.eu), please download China Developer from here (search for "小米MIX3最新 开发版 线刷Fastboot完整包点击下载") and flash it, then flash PE system.img.
    It seems current stable rom has some bugs in vendor or firmware (e.g. Google Camera is laggy).

    Please note this rom is not maintained as my daily driver is FlokoROM GSI.

    Working:
    Camera (including 4K video)
    Wi-Fi
    Bluetooth (audio, in-call audio)
    GPS
    NFC
    Dual SIM, Dual 4G standby
    VoLTE
    Fingerprint
    USB PD
    Wireless Charge
    Sensors including proximity
    AOD

    Not working:
    Slider (actually it's working, but no app to handle)
    OK Google detection in any screen
    Bluetooth call for some users/devices
    Android Auto (display flickering)

    Google Pay should work if you use MagiskHide Props Config, but I can't test since my country (Japan) uses hardware level security (exclusive for Japanese models) for payment via Google Pay.

    Installation:
    Currently generating ZIP is broken, so you have to install images one by one.
    1. Flash the latest *Official* China Developer ROM (xiaomi.eu rom is not supported)
    (If you are using other roms before, please wipe data)
    2. Download and flash system.img
    3. Download vbmeta.img and flash it with this command:
    fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    4. Flash Magisk

    I'm also building custom kernel for Mi MIX 3.
    Download


    To enable tap to wake, flash kernel and open display settings.

    You can use this magisk module to replace AI button to camera key, then use Button Mapper to remap.
    I contacted flar2 to support remapping AI key but it's not possible because of Google Assistant's behavior...

    I'm planning to switch to Pixel Dust since it has a lot of features.
    If there is no big issues, I'll continue to build Pixel Dust and stop build for Pixel Experience.

    The test build is here:

    You don't need to wipe data (if some crash happens, wipe data)

    Hey guys had a lot of trouble with these ROMs so just wanted share my experience for those who are also running into trouble.

    Coming from global phone running xiaomi.eu weekly the only steps that allowed me to get to boot are as follows:

    In twrp: factory reset then format data (hit yes to accept).
    Reboot phone and reenter twrp.
    Connect to computer and transfer xiaomi.eu rom onto root of device (I suspect any would work but I happen to have used 10.2.2.0.PEECNXM_v10-9 which is believe was xiaomi.eu stable release), pixel experience ROM zip and magisk-v17.3mod4mimix3

    Flash the xiaomi.eu rom first then without rebooting or any formatting or factory resetting immediately flash the PE ROM zip and then magisk 17.3.

    Once those three files are flashed via twrp go to wipe and the factory reset then format data again.

    This last part is very counter intuitive to me but believe it or not, it was what finally got me out of bootloop.


    Now of note, with this process I do have the memory leak issue. I understand that some users have stated that I may not if I used a different base ROM first instead of the one I used. However, doing this same process with cn ROMs always led to a boot loop on my device, no matter how I flashed them or which ones.

    That being said, I'd like to be able to get to the root cause of the memory leak if it's at all possible.


    Boost+ by htc doesn't appear to help but actually demonstrates the problem.

    Going to sleep last night the phone had 59% memory usage according to boost +. This morning the phone now shows 79% and climbing. A reboot resets the memory usage back down to 55%.

    Furthermore there has definitely been a noticable slowing for me within about 12 hours of reboot regardless of usage. Within 24 hours the phone becomes virtually unusable without a reboot.

    Now does anyone know what tool I can use to potentially diagnose this memory leak issue? Most usage analysis tools out there only show that system is using up X amount of ram without any further granularity as to what process or system app is using how much ram.
