You can manually disable or uninstall in apps.

And

Settings>notifications>enhanced notifications in the last. Turnoff that.

If you have clean flashed, maybe it would have got installed when installing/ Updating apps from playstore.

I have done the above steps and no crash messages so far. But, if I find any of them in future, I have to add them again in future builds.

The ROM installed flawlessly, but I am experiencing severe battery drain issues. Usually the phone can idle for a couple of days and change, but now it needs to be charged every 16 hours. Any ideas?

I know it'll drains the battery faster, but there's any way to let the fingerprint on screen all time?

I installed the latest version (01-Apr-2023) at 01-Apr-2023 , clean flash. Wifi was stable for 1 day. Then my wifi log on Ubiquiti says the phone disconnects for 25-35 minutes. The disconnecting started during night when charging.
Anyway my daughter says it works. but i think it has some problem with wifi.
Strange is when I installed build 20230213 (also clean flahs), the wifi worked perfectly for 14 days and then without any change it started to disconnect.
maybe my phone is broken ? I will observer it and write again.

screen of fod will let battery drain faster. Also try to change battery.

There is a way to get Screen off fod. Under display settings>>screen off udfps, which is stock alike, but not equivalent to stock implementation. Since older android version uses 2.1 hal, but we have migrated to hal 2.3 based on 2.1 (for faster fod in higher android versions like 13). But battery drain is imminent.

The latest build is free from wifi bugs, I have been using it since march 30. My device will be on wifi from evening to late night everyday. Never faced disconnections. Maybe the last one to check is the router or modem itself.

List of apps removed (reasons: Being heavy in builds and laurel_sprout's tiny system partition. No retrofit, as we have a way to escape)

1. Google Chrome and its components
2. Google App and assistant
3. Youtube
4. Drive
5. Photos
6. Gmail
7. Files Go
8. Calender
9. Google Text to speech services
10. Android system intelligence and much more.

If you have system intelligence crashes, disable the app or pl check telegram for (uninstalling the system intelligence app) instructions

The above apps can be installed from playstore if necessary. My objective is to build a hassle free rom, with less google trackers (google always has a way), with stability, with customizations (people love lot of customizations), and superior to stock rom that xiaomi provides.

Custom roms are not bug free altogether. Unlike stock, we have plenty of options to override those bugs.

I had the same problem a few builds ago, figured I've messed something up by uninstalling/disabling one too many google components. Speech Services was crashing when installed via Play Store.

Maybe can solve this bug by flashing NickGapps Basic. Later i try this option.

After flashing spark, one can remove two apps safely
1. STK
2. Android auto (if you really don't need)

Apart from these two, removal of any apps will definitely create trouble. It's better to disable apps one by one and examine.

Since the rom is aosp+pixel based as of now, most google components are binded with the system. The only exceptions (not too far) are those mentioned above. If people want google free rom (but with playservices only), Lineage OS 18.1 and 20 are the choices.

Pl don't

Does flashing gapps over gapps build work ?? Just asking.

Dear Users,

I replaced my laurel's battery 2 days ago in an authorised Xiaomi Service Center. This is the service record and the total cost of replacement including GST is INR 1000 which is approximately less than 15 USD.

The new battery is also 3.2 years old (since storage) but the difference between the SOT in previous posts (in telegram channel) and now is obvious. It is clear that the stored battery didn't lose its chemical properties and is still performing well.

If you plan to use your phone for 6+ months, it is a worthy replacement.

Tested on Spark 13.5.5v2 and 912batt

nice, quite cheap.
in my country (Serbia) cost to replace battery is around 30$

I just flashed addon google tts from nickgapps, for now works perfectly.

So, it is double the price.

I replaced it under Xiaomi India's one time battery replacement policy. Anyhow it is recommended to contact your xiaomi service ( if you wish to change battery ) if such policy is available in Serbia/EU.
