Don't know what have you flashed but doesn't look like my build. I don't have separate LineageOS System instance by itself. It's part of Android System. Not to mention theme and fonts...

About that false low battery shut down I have seen it on my device ones. You can try draining battery completely, phone shut down and not able to start without plugging it in. Then fully charge it in Android to 100% with no interpretation.

Your default config made storage accessible even when plugging in the cable with the phone locked. Is this expected behavior or am I the only one? It's really bad for security anyways.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Don't know what "gallery is too slow" means. In what sense?

Yeah, it's not supposed to affect security... I have to redo the whole routine the right way with activating what is selected for usb configuration in dev settings and check for device unlocked... We'll see...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] log30:
IR is working well :) , only one question, aren't slow motion video play on gallery at "slow motion speed"? Or it's my problem?

Glad to hear Vulkan is coming already, I was actually itching to switch away from MIUI but did want Vulkan...although it is pretty strange how some things work with Vulkan on the 7.0 MIUI beta and some not, all the samples work but Dolphin and Retroarch both misbehave when switched to Vulkan and the same versions of Dolphin and Retroarch behave properly when run on an S7 running 7.0...could it be that our GPU does not fully support everything that Vulkan offers and has just partial support?

I am reading 4PDA.ru and some guys over there are asking some questions I feel I should answer. And since my reading russian is weeeey better than I can write so better not embarrassing myself and answer here. I am sure our russian friends here will pass it over...:)

1. Why ROM + patch zip?

b/c I want to keep ROM update and firmware update separate for a few reason - one smaller rom for hydrogen and helium,user choice what to update, you wont have to update firmware on every rom update, less download traffic, I don't have to cook two roms.

2. Why /system folder in patch is not integrated in ROM?

only helium patch has /system folder and that is what makes hydrogen rom properly working on helium taking care of +2 cores, media firmware, some different libs, device props etc.

Helium users have to flash it after every rom update no matter if patch stays the same. Sorry... Otherwise you loose 2 cores and video recording at least...

Hydrogen users don't have to worry about this... You are lucky to have dev with hydrogen.:)

3. Why helium patch don't work on any other custom rom?

other CM based roms are still using old MIUI files and mixing them with my helium patch is a no-no... So don't... Hydrogen patch should work.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
Could you expand on that a bit? What app allows that? I have only seen 60 and 120fps on 1280x720.

Have you checked resultant video in some app that shows video framerate? Because there are a few that allow for recording video with that setting but the result is 30fps anyway.

I hope some kernel dev from Redmi Note 3 looks at our phone and ports the kernel here. They have so many cool stuff there, even overclocking and KCAL is working, not to mention 24bit audio output, Vulkan (stolen from MiMax Android 7 beta) :) and the hardware is very similar.

Adreno 510 is very powerful and supports every feature of vulkan, maybe is not completely implemented yet.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andjohn:
Ya, sorry; I was thinking you were talking about the interface. I did get some slow motion video but I had to manually slow it down with MX. It did show 50 fps for a 90 record though. So slow motion is weird still.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Survivor1990:
Okay I have a question which was maybe was already discussed: Why will I have to unlock bootloader? I'm currently using 5.7.4 RR which works nearly perfect. If I ever want to switch to official RR 5.8 I first have to switch to MIUI 8 to install latest baseband and maybe some other things. I will do this by MiFlash and EDL Mode.

Then I will have to flash TWRP again. I will do this be replacing the Recovery.zip in the Zip of MIUI 8 by the latest TWRP Zip. Then I will install RR 5.8. That's the way I always did it for 5.7.0, 5.7.1, 5.7.4 and standard CM ROMs.

Where in this scenario will I need the unlocked bootloader? Could somebody explain it (again)?

Thank you very much!

BTW: in RR 5.7.4 I already activated Bootloader unlocking. Does this work same like official unlocking tool?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andjohn:
My bootloader is still locked
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] RomanGeorg:
Hi!

1. Flashing the phone almost never gives 100% identical results, at some point, there are some glitches and then you will have problems with restoring your phone.

2. No, it is not work as an official tool.

Hi!

1. Very pleased that you decided to answer our questions!

2. Thank you so much for your work on creating this firmware! It works very good, except for the GPS. My Mi Max gives 90-92000 Antutu points!!!

I'm specifically registered for XDA, so thank You! Good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Yep, that answer was for you.:)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tukull:
can somebody help me answer this:

- in android M, we can set wifi to work only to specific band, say: 5ghz only or 2.4ghz only. it's missing in every android 7 roms.

- ability to change wifi country code in advanced wifi settings, and it's missing too in android 7.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Andy4Shurr:
I get this behavior with Dolphin using Vulkan on my Shield TV (fully up to date) so I don't think it's an exclusive issue to this device, possibly something in certain Dolphin builds?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Yep, that's right but there are some commits in Lineage gerrit waiting for review/merge to bring those feature back from M.

I might look at it and bring it earlier...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jutley:
I can confirm otg works fine on this ROM using latest build with latest firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] log30:
I have the first versión, if i want to update i need to flash only linage zip? Or i need to flash also firmware update?

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mexpower74:
For ROM updates, if you have a helium model you need to flash the ROM and then the FW update. If you have a hydrogen model, only ROM is needed.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Correction: IF fw patch stays the same for hydrogen. But this one is not so he need to flash firmware as well...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] log30:
I update hydrogen without fw, it's working well, you recommend to lash fw ?

I did not even know the Shield TV already got Android 7.0 with Vulkan.

But then again as I said on the exact same build an s7 works almost normal and gives a bit of a FPS boost, on this phone not only all the models glitch out but the FPS also drops.

Could you also try the latest Retroarch 1.4 from F-Droid with Vulkan on the Shield, also try multiple emulators, some work normal some glitch out just like Dolphin.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zola III:
Shield TV console is actually only thing that can run Dolphine "satisfactory" (have enough muscle for it) & then again even Nv is still on the beginning of the road when it comes to Vulkan drivers. S7 with a S820 have 2x more GPU clusters (4 vs 2) & higher clocks.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pifupifu:
I don't face battery issue on your latest build (clean flash). But it does have a LineageOS System process.

I failed to upload screenshots.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Well, then my day-to-day usage must be very different compared to average user. :)

My battery stats can't catch LineageOS System as battery hog... Even the whole Android System is doing fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dicxz80:
Thank you for the suggestion, I had re-flash it and all seems working fine now

I am not sure what broke it in my 1st installation could be because a lot of TWRP backup and restore from previous ROM (EU Stable)

, but in my 2nd re-flash, I did a lot of backup and restore via TWRP to get my setup from previous ROM (EU stable), seems like everytime before restore I need to clean up /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik mount points to make sure that it is "clean"

Gallery takes time to respond.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zola III:
Clear the caches for gallery & restart, it will take some time to regenerate thumbnail cache at first but that's it. Sometimes when trying to update cache it gets stuck skipping some & making double for some media which leads to unpleasant experience & slowdowns...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] myxcon:
My install currently shows lineage OS as separate process in battery info. Not a hog, but still shows some percents.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Monsuta:
I have that LineageOS System in battery too, it seems like it's actually the "Android System", but somehow it renamed itself into "LineageOS System" & change it's icon, it's the "FM Radio" icon for me, but when I restarted the phone it's back to normal, weird.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] recharged20:
For me, the gallery app seems to refuse "reading" new files (pictures or videos), in the sense that new files just dont appear in the gallery. The only modifications I made to the rom would be the zola's script for battery optimization. I tried to open some file by accessing it via file managers and open by gallery, however this doesn't yield anything because the picture would then just be shown with 'print' as the only option from the menu. Go back to gallery again and still nothing. I also tried to open some jpeg via wallpapers app by google, but this yield mixed results, at one time it allows the gallery open/recognize these new pics/wallpapers however twice i tried and i haven't been able to replicate it yet. I just haven't had the time to test it some more.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Opening pic from file explorer with Gallery and only print is available, open it from within Gallery and all options are available. Don't know if it's by design or a bug... They redesigned it recently...

Otherwise everything else works just fine on my device so have no idea what's up with your setups, guys...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] recharged20:
That is true. But the main problem persist for me, newer files such as recently downloaded wallpaper, put into either internal storage or sd card, is not available in the gallery. However this is not a problem for newly phone camera files, it will be shown in gallery, but again not transferred files. I am planning to check the rom again, vanilla, and will edit my comments if it was just one time thing with my device.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Do me a favor... Change ro.sys.sdcardfs=true in /system/build.prop to ro.sys.sdcardfs=false, reboot and see if fixes the problems with new files.

For reference read comments for this recent commit https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/160734/. Does it sound familiar? Despite all the warnings TheStrix merged it...

EDIT: Just tested with downloading images. PNG works fine and is in Gallery right away but JPG doesn't. Didn't try reboot b/c will screw up some stats data I am collecting for more than a week.

EDIT 2: Change extension from jpg to png and it shows up in Gallery right away... This must be Gallery bug or rather Media Scanner bug.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ljhsquall:
I don't have any issue with this. Yesterday I copied a few videos and several jpg and png image to my microsd. They all shown up in Gallery. But the jpg images are photos taken with Xperia XZ. I download a image from chrome and it shows up in Gallery too.

Bluetooth Media Controls and Metadata issue

After flashing LineageOS,

my car stopped being able to control the tracks with previous/rewind and next/forward controls and the track info doesn't show up only displaying "Bluetooth Audio".

Anyone having similar issues?

I think it is not a issue of this rom, perhaps someone has an idea to fix it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] myxcon:
If app is running in split screen my car audio does the same. Otherwise if running full screen or in background, no issues. So far.

Le: I stand corrected. Apparently car audio doesn't show correct info no matter the app.

In the picture, music is playing via deezer.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] IndDoc:
Found a bug where in the phone starts counting the outgoing timer the moment the call is placed rather than when it is picked up. So for example, if the call had been ringing for 10 seconds, the call will show 10 secs already when it is picked up.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] myxcon:
I have the same thing with call duration. If you check call history though, the duration is displayed correctly. It's a matter of in call duration.

And don't know if it's just me, but vibrate on connect doesn't work.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zola III:

I didn't know it's rude to tell you to report bug as it properly should be done. As you say that you are not a new by nor a beginner then why do you post around hire about problems that you know aren't strictly related to this Nijel8 build? Instead getting to the source. I am not a noob either & proper procedure is just a way to document your claims & even that doesn't ensure that issue will be solved but it usually does help.

hi,

not sure about this, but I think there were a call recorder in previous versions and it has disappeared. is it right or I miss something?

Édit: never mind, it was because i installed full opengapp. I resinstalled only with micro opengapp ans it is back
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Well, learning something new every day... I am using nano opengapps and haven't seen call recorder ever. Don't need it so never bothered to check why is missing. Don't even know where to look for it. Teach me...:)

As [MENTION=4232632]Zola III[/MENTION] pointed out:

Call outgoing timer is fixed which also fixes vibrate on all InCall events selected in Settings. Update coming up tomorrow BTW. IMHO a significant one with highly recommended firmware update...

will it have zola karnel tweaks? waiting impatiently
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] troyinjapan:
Great! Thanks in advance.

I just wanted to verify which is the correct method, or does it matter with the order of flashing the zips.

I always flashed:

1. ROM, then add:

2. firmware

3. ARM64 opengapps

Later, people mentioned that the correct method was:

1. firmware, then add:

2. ROM

3. ARM64 opengapps

Does the order between ROM and firmware really matter?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
I don't have overflow menu button at all...:(

Yep... coming in a few...

Order doesn't matter, in fact you can skip if you want, I always stay on latest one. But this time it is really needed for the fact I mentioned and people already reporting better network experience with it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
OH YES! IT IS HERE :D

along with the firmware. :D

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298954550

thanks a lottttttt :) :)

I remember you said you are not going to bundle zola kernel tweaks into the ROMbefore you test the version in that thread.

So, have you tested it or have you directly included all those things you discussed about with him in this build?

I read that you were testing something (and didnt wanna reboot to prevent breaking the test) Is that this very thing you were testing?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
You spoiled my update announce...:( jk:)

Update posted, update firmware as well. I would also recommend to use opengapps nano or up packages which include the required service for the new "Battery Usage Alerts" feature. Rom is shipped with it but I will not keep it updated... opengapps nano or up will.

Back to your question... [MENTION=4232632]Zola III[/MENTION] power config is included with slight change(2+2 -> 2+1 cores not hotplugging). I have test it for 2 weeks with no performance issues and I guess should lead to better battery too...

His kernel recommendations are yet to be tested so they are not included.

I reworked the whole so called MTP default routine and now you can set any USB Configuration mode as default when device is USB connected in Developers settings. Read the new setting summary, Storage and SD Card data is exposed all the time even if device is locked with this setting ON. There is no good way in Android to detect user not present and lock the data down so if you have concerns in that matter leave it OFF and switch modes manually from the notification which is not disabled by default with the setting OFF.

Also Quick Charger 2.0/3.0 is now detected and will pulse battery light till 90% level when charging.

Enjoy!!!:good:
