Not that I am aware. I haven't changed anything to do with DPI. I did change the text size from Small to Medium but I have changed it back and it made no difference.

Thanks.

After doing a backup and then a restore with TWRP, my lock password was no longer being accepted. Unusual, I know. Any ideas what may have happened?

Fingerprint never seems to be accepted after the device is off. I'm always forced to put in pin/password first and then fingerprint works if device is asleep. Is this normal?

First, I used a password. Failed. So wiped device, started fresh. Only used PIN password. Same problem though.

MiUi 8 does not have "Forget Password" so I cannot reset it.

Thanks for any assistance.

Recovering backups since MM ****s up your passwords/lockscreen patterns. You have to delete locksettings.db, gatekeeper.password.key and/or gatekeeper.pattern.key at /data/system every time you recover a backup.

problem on xposed

Tried all the xposed installer and the xposed framework for Miui 8.. I even tried this: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758/

but I can't download any modules. It says on the log: /XposedInstaller( 8807): RepoLoader -> Downloaded http://dl.xposed.info/repo/partial/9808.xml.gz with status 1 (error: null), size 0 bytes

I tried going to the browser and access xposed repo, and it seems fine.

Thank you so much [MENTION=3835425]TEKME[/MENTION] ! That is good to know. I had no idea. I am also running a Samsung Galaxy Mega using a custom ROM from [MENTION=6608674]silesh[/MENTION] (he's really good). Here' the funny thing, I designed my own screen lock using Tasker and never an issue. Mi Max, in order to turn on fingerprint reader, you need a password of some type! GRRR!

TWRP File Manager deleting locksettings.db, gatekeeper.password.key and/or gatekeeper.pattern.key at /data/system did the trick!

I was getting really frustrated. I should have posted here right away. [MENTION=3835425]TEKME[/MENTION] thanks again!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
Yeah that happens any time you flash another rom while your pin/password is still active and you have to delete the locksettings.db file from data/system in twrp to remove the pin/password, then you can set it up again.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
Yep that's the new thing in Marshmallow and Nougat. After a reboot you have to enter your pin for additional security, then the fingerprint scanner will work.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] coffee-turtle:
Can we put that warning in the instructions on the main page, please? Just to let people know to disable pin/password before upgrading to the next version of your ROM. It is good info and can help avoid some pitfalls.

Thanks again. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
Hm, I just noticed a problem. Since about June 9th (this is the last time I got new backup files from Titanium Backup) my external SD card is write protected. So this issue occurred some days after I upgraded to the latest version from May 18th (Miui 8 8.2.3.0 for Mi Max). I have this problem for all apps, not only Titanium Backup or others and it has nothing to do with the permissions you first have to give to the app via the Documents app (which is disabled after every reboot here...). Also the SD card is working (writeable) when I plug it into a card reader and use it in my PC or on difference smartphone/tablet devices.

With Google I see search results which as similar on the first view, but these do not really match my problem. Also I tried several things suggested in these search results, but nothing changed.

What am I missing here? Any idea? Anyone? Help would really be appreciated, thank you!

[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION]: I found download links, look here: https://thedroidguru.com/download-miui-8-5-1-0-global-stable-rom-xiaomi-mi-max/

But, hm, Xposed is not there for Nougat, right? How can MIUI 8 Tweaks and more can be used?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rocksoccer:
I'm on version of Miui 8.2.3.0.

In settings for Do Not Disturb, I cannot add anyone into Custom list for Exceptions.

After I click on the Add button at the bottom, the contact list appears and then I can select. When I click on the OK button at top right, it crashes, and shows the pop-up of "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".

I think this might be related to removed or disabled system apps. When I use the official Miui, it works fine.

Has anyone come across the same issue?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
Thanks for pointing this out. In the next build i'll make sure to test that to make sure it works. I use DND myself so i know it's important.

I'm waiting for the Helium release. The 8.2.5.0 that's out it for Hydrogen. Stay on Marshmallow if you want xposed.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rocksoccer:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Do you know which app is causing the issue, or need to wait until next build to find out? Is it possible to restore the function by putting that app back?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
If you wanna download the removed items zip file and look inside for any app that could cause the issue that would be great. I'm about to go to sleep.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
I might. But what is really bugging me is the thing with my sd card. Did you see what I posted some days ago about the write access of my sd card? I cannot restore this anymore. So I can only read from the sd card. Annoying...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
I dont know how you ended up with that issue but i would try formatting your internal storage in twrp (wipe data, type in yes to remove any encryption) then move your data from your sdcard to your pc and format it then move your data back on it.

For governor tweaks visit this thread:

You can install Gov-Tuner and then select the tune you want (normal, battery saving, performance etc)

After you install gov-tuner in twrp boot up and open an Android Terminal and type in:

su

govtuner

Then you can configure your governors.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] thank you so much for updating the ROM. And have a great wedding soon! :)

As this ROM is Nougat based I have to ask (maybe again) about MIUI 8 Tweaks app, which is based on Xposed: Is this app not necessary anymore as there are a lot more settings to make in Nougat? Personally I did a lot of customizing in this app, especially with the notification icons (I did not like the color icons - also as these icons did not have the functionality), but also with some other stuff which is provided by this app.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] www_123:
Thanks.

Can this rom work with a locked bootloader and TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
I don't think xposed works on Nougat but I'm not sure as I don't use xposed.

All roms should from past user experiences but I only test it on unlocked.

Congratulations on your wedding soon.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
Maybe try flashing those and let us know.

You should be able to just download the rom zip and flash it in twrp to update. My rom includes the new firmware as well. Thanks. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
Installed with TWRP, worked. All settings are still there.

Man, I am missing the MIUI 8 Tweaks already. Especially because of these lame color icons instead of the AOSP icons in the notification bar, which causes loss of functionality. But also many other things. I just don't understand why Xiaomi did some really bad things for UI in MIUI...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ajsmsg78:
I hear you. I felt the same way when material design came out as I hate the whole stock color scheme and certain other elements.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
Old people also stick to old habits. ;)

But the thing here simply is that it is a loss of UI and productivity, a great loss. The Xiaomi icons are colorful and fancy but do not have any functionality. E.g. MacroDroid can show different icons (e.g. like what area the phone is in), K-9 Mail can show how many unread messages. Two examples.

I also used other stuff from MIUI Tweaks which is missing now. Like the devided notification bar/area. When you pulled it down from the left it showed the notifications, when you pulled it down from the right it showed the settings. Or additional restart icons where it was possible to start directly into recovery or bootloader.

And and and...

Is it possible to compile settings like this into the ROM as there is no way at the moment to get MIUI Tweaks up and running again?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dio62000:
What do you guys mean 'icons'... there are so many good themes to download for MIUI, the icons are not a problem. OK, the notification bar with colored icons and a centered clock would be nice, but the icons on the notification panel can be changed by themes.

The ROM seems to be working quite well.

You can download QuickBoot from the Play store to reboot directly into recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cocoyg:
Has anyone tried using Xposed thru Magisk on this latest ROM? Recently Xposed thru Magisk was (somehow) made to work.

I'm too refraining to update because I use Xposed a lot or until MIUI 9 comes out.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
I mean the icons in the notification bar, not the icons in the MIUI launcher.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

But the biggest problem I have since the upgrade to 8.5.1.0 is the huge battery drain. :( Android system is taking more than 60% battery, the device is warm and the battery is empty hours earlier than before. Any ideas except factory resetting the device (which would take me days to get everything back how it is now, even with Titanium Backup)?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dio62000:
You should do a clean flash, I had the draining problem, did a MIUI backup, a clean flash, restored the backup and now there's no battery drain anymore.

MIUI Backup is even better than Titanium. Although some things aren't completely restored correctly (like widgets). Make sure you have a TB backup to restore the apps that weren´t restored correctly, do a full MIUI backup and you'll be good.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kornetbeef:
Thank for answering. I'm a bit worried on using TWRP for update because the last time I try, my phone bricked. Maybe because I installed my TWRP and Super user using this method:

https://xdaforums.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-installing-miui-v8-2-1-twrp-root-t3573550

Last time I try I solve the problem by removing the firmware update folder as mentioned in the guide.

So again I ask if I want to dirty flash the upgrade, what is the best way to do it?

And what happen if I update it by OTA?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
[MENTION=1495884]dio62000[/MENTION] Thank you for your answer. As waiting over the weekend did not help in any way... I imagine you are talking about the backup option in the settings, am I correct? It tells me that it saves system settings, accounts and apps. But you wrote that some things are not restored correctly ((some) widgets would not be the problem for me). Do you remember what was affected when you tried it? Also what did you had to restore with TB? Can you tell me how long it took to get the job done for you? ;) Also, when I do a clean flash, is my internal memory (/storage/emulated/0) still there? I imagine that the MIUI Backup files are stored there, also a lot of other stuff is there like Telegram and WhatsApp images and videos.

Thank you for your information, I really need to do this, the draining is bad. But I want to know before what time and work is needed to have everything up and running again.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dio62000:
Hi, yes, I've made a full backup using the local (!!) backup option under 'additional settings'. I've backupped and restored everything, includings wifi passwords, etc.

The small problems I encountered were: fingerprints had to be reconfigured (it may be a good idea not to set any lock screen code first), settings of my Bluemail app weren't fully backed up, so had to restore from Titanium Backup. Somehow I had to repair my phone with my car stereo (BT), but it's working fine now. I think those were the main 'issues'. I still have a few issues with notifications that I'm trying to figure out, also I have to set a few new notification ringtones. You have to re-set permissions for every app (allowing them to read your contacts, etc.).

I didn't have any issues with my internal SD card, everything was still there after flashing the ROM.

But... I have to say battery drainage is still high! I'm thinking of flashing this like stated somewhere in this topic ->

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-gov-tuner-project-29th-june-2016-t3407828

Other than these issues the ROM seems more smooth than the one I was using (missed a few updates though).

I'm still not sure whether I will keep this ROM or if I will either rollback to my NAND backup, or flash an RR ROM (but then I won't be able to use MIUI themes, which I'm very fond of ;) ).
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
[MENTION=1495884]dio62000[/MENTION] Thank you for your answer and also details about restoring the data. It looks like it is not that much work. But:

So basically you are saying that even this work is just not worth it as the problem stays? At the moment I have a more than hand warm phone all day, the battery now at 3:30pm is at 30% and I took the phone from the charging cable at 8am.

So I am thinking more of downgrading to Android 6 again and hoping that I can do a dirty flash and have everything like it was before. One of the only advantages of Android 7 would have been VoLTE, which does not work with o2 and the Mi Max for me, tried a lot of things.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kaisar11:
for sd652 version please confirm

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

n yeah is volte working
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dio62000:
It was worth trying, and it wasn't much work. The ROM is very smooth, but it uses too much battery and the advantages are few, really. My phone wasn't 'more than hand warm', just during charging, the rest of the day it was OK, battery life was better than when dirty flashed, but still not good enough compared to 6, which has always been very good for a phone this size. The best feature for me is Magisk, with that ind of root I can use apps that I couldn´t use because of root detection. Oh well, maybe next flash ;) .

All in all, good ROM, but not good enough for me; I'm rolling back to Android 6 for now (backing up the 7-ROM though). The plan is to flash my NAND backup and then upgrade to 8.2.1. which is the latest Global Helium Android 6 build. I hope this will be better than the version I was using.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
Can you please say what you did set up for VoLTE? I called my provider (o2 Germany) to have it enabled. Also I altered the APN and added ",ins" to the APN Type setting.

But I still do not see a "VoLTE" in the notification bar. Also when I get or make a call the phone drops to H(+) or 3G.

Ok, you got me. I will give it a try in the evening. Will keep you posted here. Thank you again for your answers. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Roi Danton:
Ok, I did a clean flash. Also MIUI Backup and Titanium Backup before that.

If the battery draining problem is gone - I cannot say at the moment. But I can say what I did have to setup again after the clean flash because a lot of settings were lost. This was a lot of stuff - for me:

Fingerprints, lock PIN and all related settings

Mi/Google account

all Bluetooth pairings

dual apps (the space was still there so I was able to restore WhatsApp without bigger problems)

all widgets exept MIUI weather widget

all battery safer settings

Background of launcher and lock screen

permissions for every app (also the "special" permissions)

Root permissions via Magisk

Device name

Hotspot settings

USB debugging and install via USB was disabled again

Data limits and settings mobile data

My Profile in Contacts app empty

Autostart settings

all Developer options

about 15 apps not restored at all (I had to restore these via TB)

Threema settings gone (Restore via TB)

frozen apps were no longer frozen

Sure, some other things like call logs, SMS, most apps including settings, ringtones and other notification settings, Wifi settings, were restored, but most was not.

[MENTION=1495884]dio62000[/MENTION] No worries, I do not write this because I want to blame you. No. But I want to make sure that people know what can happen if they do a clean flash.

The problem here is that I did have to do it - or downgrade to Android 6 again. With the battery draining problem the phone was unusable to me.

Keep you all posted when I know about the draining problem.

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dio62000:
No problem. It totally depends on the things you use doesn't it? And some things I had mentioned, rescan fingerprints, and set a few other things, BT issues, but most of the things in your list I don't even use or didn't check, so didn't notice you had to set them again in the new ROM. All in all I would say it took me about an hour or less to get back to the original settings.

You know, I don't think I use VoLTE, I'm ashamed to say I don't even know what it is exactly :D
