[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Nickson TDR:
I found a fix for the intermittent drop of wifi while playing online games like pubg mobile. Installed Wifi Fixer and let it run while playing. Numerous times I’ve lost a game since my player doesn't respond to the buttons or pick up items. The lag lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds, then it repeats every 1-2 minutes, which is irritating on a 30 minutes full game. On MIUI hydrogen, this happens every 10 minutes but not as severe in this rom.

Searching online shows that this is a problem on lineage/nougat/oreo roms. Flashing your kernel 9.2.1.0 or the latest 9.6.1.0 doesn't do anything. Downloads are not affected since I was able to download a 5gb torrents even after I left the phone untouched overnight.

It's just affect online games that consumes low bandwidth, in which I think the rom/kernel/nougat temporarily power down the wifi until further need for wifi is asked by the game (powersaving feature?), thus resulting for intermittent wifi drop. I'm still connected to my 3mbps wifi and the in-game ping is still under 60-100 and I’m the only user at midnight, so no reason for my connection to drop.

Wifi always on, turn off wifi/Bluetooth scanning in setting>locations, using static instead of dhcp, enable verbose wifi logging, tweaking router settings, connecting to other router, none of this work except the wifi fixer app.

You might wanna look at a more permanent fix for this problem  Anyways, thanks for this rom Nijel.

Anyone else having problems using automatic LiveDisplay? It's been broken for a while I'm not sure if it's the latest update that caused it.

There's a weird bug on SIM 2 where airplane mode isn't airplane mode. I toggle the airplane mode icon on quick settings, all connectivity seems to be off, but LTE data is still running and I get full connectivity. The airplane icon is shown in the status bar but Settings/About Phone/SIM2 Status shows the phone still connected.

It's scary to turn on the screen after a flight to see the phone has already connected to the right roaming network and is already pulling down data.

I had to push the power button, press Airplane Mode and restart the phone to really make sure all radios are off. Settings/About Phone/SIM 2 Status then shows Radio off. I then have to reboot if I want to get out of Airplane mode.

See attached screenshot.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rumput_liar:
hi. its fine. i mean the eror not happen to me

sim 2 status is like sim 1 too
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] oatcooky:
More airplane mode weirdness again. I flashed the latest ROM twice, latest firmware but airplane mode still doesn't deactivate the cellular radios although WiFi and Bluetooth are turned off.

Edit: looks like it was a bug between Tasker and Lineage's custom profiles. After turning on airplane mode in Tasker and with a profile I finally got the "Radio off" message.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Evendi01:
I've got a strange issue with screen (ghost touch...) from two last updates.

After call (mostly) the quick menu opens and I have to lock/unlock or touch anywhere the screen to close it.

It looks like the screen is constantly pressed on left upper corner.

A few times it happend after unlocking without having a call.

First I fought it's a ghost touch because of screen protector (earlier it was ok but...maybe some dirt or something...). I tried with and without it. Same with case (I checked two different and without).

I had a dirty flash and a clean one is not a solution for me.

Any ideas what that could be? Hardware? I hope not...

i dont have this kind of problem. its not hardware issue?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Evendi01:
I have no idea if it's software or hardware. I was looking for some diagnostic tools to check it but... I did not find any good enought.

I'll wait for another release and see if it helps.

BTW as far as I remember when I had it before it was getting worse day by day (Asus) and now it's totally random.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] khnoizer:
Hmm, if it's a software problem, then there should be loads of this rom's user reported the same thing already doesn't it? I too got ghost touch problem on my max after I got wet with it in the rain months ago, fixed it by replacing lcd.

Edit: I suggest you to try other rom, and confirm if there are also ghost touch problem or not with your phone.

Thanks [MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] for the build. Clean flashed with micro gapps.

Sound and vibration under Phone app settings force closes, even after many tries. Am I the only one facing? Hydrogen
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] judytankgirl:
confirmed. i have same force close.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] khnoizer:
Not on me, but I'm using microg. Is it perhaps from gapps?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] judytankgirl:
you need to enable storage app permission for phone. no more force close..

no, because i dont use microg and gapps... my phone gappless...

the problem is permission for the phone app..

now no more force close...

Wait, so you don't use whatsapp and the likes? Since they need google play services. I've been trying to be google-less as much as possible, but in my line of work, I still need google play services.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] judytankgirl:
i dont use whatsapp that much and dont care.. but you still can use whatsapp without gapps...

what apps do you use that needs google play service?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] oatcooky:
A lot of root apps like Titanium Backup and Tasker need Gapps for payment. I don't know if it's possible to get a new license for these apps if you've paid for them through Google Play.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] khnoizer:
Well I'm not that good, but I do have part of developing apps in my work. Mainly they would need things like FCM, maps, and other google apis, hence google play services is needed. And since available devices to debug apps is bad, I'd rather use my own phone most of time.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] judytankgirl:
in that case, it is unavoidable..

Don't recall having power button screenshot function... If you mean power menu screenshot it's there
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] coffee-turtle:
Agreed! Won't even consider getting MM3 unless [MENTION=234907]nigel[/MENTION]8 is actively developing the ROM for it.

He's the third developer I've followed in the years I have had this device (which I use everyday). This is the best ROM hands down! Stable as a rock and efficient.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] wolfverine:
I could afford to purchase a new phone, let's say Mi Max 3 or Honor Note 10. The only reason keeps me stick to this phone is your Rom. So, when will you move on to the next Max 3, sir?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Not in need for new phone but definitely need new toy to play with. Unfortunately it will not happen till late December(pretty busy...), looks like same release schedule for Max 3 - 1/1/19 and probably Pie. Fingers crossed...

Qualcomm call it embedded and cannot be edited. You can get editable text versions from earlier MIUI China ROMs but they brake quick charging which is probably fixable but never got to it so...

Update: installed your twrp for the max. (previously had official 3.2.1-0) and re (dirty) flashed the new rom again (instead of my below plan to flash the old one). Worked like a charm. You beauty.

-------

Hi, dirty flashed latest rom from the prior version. Stuck on mi.com screen withthout the lineage boot logo showing up. Did wipe dalvik and cache. I can still get into recovery with a reboot...but no lineage. File system seems to be ok. Question - can i dirty flash the old rom is this likey to cause any issues?

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
Are you absolutely sure of that?

Have you installed Nijel8's Helium patch?

Please remember that this overly shows actually active CPUs and that even SD652 can overheat.

Install Nigel8's patch, reboot, start the benchmark and turn off screen, let the phone cool off for 10 minutes - you will see all cores active.

It is a sad reality that phone cpus overheat a lot and it is sometimes hard to even complete a benchmark with all cores active because of thermal management.

There was a time in Galaxy Note 3 days that I would put my phone in a fridge for like 15 minutes and set CPU to overclock just to get higher scores :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Jerry08:
Yes I'm sure and I installed helium h+ patch.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
Look at the temps - 35 is high for those displayed by this app (they are NOT cpu temps but some kind of system temp, better check AIDA64) and at that temp I also can't use 4 cores. Turn off display for 10 minutes and try again - that's the only thing I can suggest.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Jerry08:
Tried with screen off and still same max 6 cores active at same time.

Edit: Actually I think there must be some problem with my phone. Weird things happening as my phone refuse to boot any miui rom when flashed from recovery and I did not have this problem before. I can only boot some custom roms. I think I should edl fastboot some official miui, just don't know which one.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] OrionBG:
Setting that option from your first screenshot does nothing! The moment you go out from that page to another and then go back, it is back to "2".

Yes I have installed the patch. The CPU temp was 26C and just for your Info those mobile SOCs don't begin to limit their selves before 50C.

I've tested it with different benchmarks and even at 100% load on all 6 cores two big ones stay offline. I can see no such behavior in MIUI ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
Then you can certainly explain how and why it works for me, right? Why I get so high benchmark scores, right?

All I can say, this is what I did:

- clean flash Nijel8's latest rom

- install gapps

- flash helium patch

- install SuperSU (because I paid for pro version a long time ago)

- let Google restore all my apps

- install CPUTableau

- in Kernel Adiutor set max 4 big cores

- let the phone rest for 15 minuter and started benchmarks

And no, CPUTableau does not show correct temperatures but once it temps reach 36 degrees on it's display, 2 out of 8 cores go down, at 38 3 big cores go down.

Say what you want, but if it works for someone then it should work for you too, maybe make a full backup and follow my steps?

On separate note, I got mad for limited sound output in Lineage and installed MIUI 8.1.19 - Poweramp happily enabled 24bit/192khz output.

If only MIUI would not close all background apps once phone sleeps a bit... (despite disabling all optimizations in developer settings and battery saving futures).

If Nijel8's rom had hifi sound output I would just stay on it indefinitely - overclocking options be damned...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Jerry08:
I see now. Youre using nijel8's rom and we were talking about new strix linageos with helium h+ patch provided by nijel8. On nijel8's rom I can also get them all online. Good for me cause I was starting to think that something is bad with my phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
Ah, so that's a

Sorry

from me for not paying attention :)

It is a strange problem because Nijel8's patch includes whole kernel and firmware, it should definitely make 8 cores work on Strix version.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Now I don't get it why works on mine and not on TheStrix!? They should be the same in that regard with the helium patch!?

There is only one possibility I can think of... Some related xiaomi proprietary lib for helium which I replace... I have to track it down...

If you guys are wiling to help flash lineage-20170119-vendor_update-HELIUM_GPS-MDG-7.1.12.zip on TheStrix lineage and see if 8 cores go online, please.

It will brake the GPS but it's just for testing cpu...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Jerry08:
I clean flashed your rom today with patches from your rom thread and I couldn't get also all big cores online. Definitely something is messed up with my phone(too many flashing last days I guess). I only can get back online all cores when I flashed miui(here's another bad thing happened as I had to flash boot.img separately to make miui boot). Don't really know what to do now to fix it and don't want miui.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] OrionBG:
What Jerry08 said :)

But yep... it is very strange indeed...

I'll wait for somebody to check the new patch as I have a Gear S3 and every time I reflash my phone, I have to reset the fu**ing thing (it takes about 40 minutes after that to reinstall 2 apps and update 6 over Bluetooth!!!) to pair it and it seems that with the GPS not working with that patch, I'll have to...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] alf0:
hey [MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION], is there any chance of you continuing this build? the official ones that just released cant even compared to your build, it's so bad even antutu score stuck at 65k, on your rom I can get around 85k, and some features still got bug here and there. Thanks, this is just my thought
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Andy4Shurr:
[MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] did you release that bluetooth QS fix? The incremental update on the first page is the one prior to that fix isn't it?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] BitOBSessiOn:
First of all, thx to [MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] for their respective work.

Maybe I'm wrong but I've noticed that Google Camera worked on previously unofficial builds, but not right now... Is it right ? Anyone else with this issue...?

TIA
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
I guess I didn't and the Lineage devs went quiet when I proposed it on gerrit.

I might do one last build with all the fixes I know of so far...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] poolmaker:
Flashed official 2 hrs before.

Here is all ok, at least with Antutu (and for now).

I installed the rom on my helium but i got no gallery !! Is that normal ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] alf0:
yeah, finally can get it works properly. only the downside is network indicator and google camera fc
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Andy4Shurr:
I don't understand why Lineage don't want to implement the fixes you've already done :/ The official still doesn't have the hotspot, bluetooth, H+ data icon and as you've mentioned the Capacitive button brightness slider still behaves inaccurately.

I'm just sticking with your build as a daily driver until these things can be fixed on official. It seems the best option :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mat9v:
Not to mention erratic camera behavior and non working 7 and 8 core on Strix builds. There is really no alternative.

I don't understand Nijel8, there is no limit to LineageOS versions for one phone that can be made, right? He did so much work and made the only one stable version for now, I think he could continue until mainline Lineage incorporates all his fixes.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] oatcooky:
I just might hold on to my Hydrogen for a year longer or more, thanks to this awesome ROM. There's no real need to upgrade to the Mi Max 3 - it has a larger screen, slightly more screen on time and EIS rear camera but the CPU and GPU performance are the same or slightly worse. Funny how a cheap midranger from 2016 still has no competition in 2018 except from itself. The Huawei Honor Note 10 is the same size with a flagship SoC but it's for the Chinese market only.

I can't stand going back to unrooted MIUI when rooted Lineage provides all the power I need in a work phone/pocket computer. This is the closest I've gotten to a modern Psion 5.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mike0505:
+1 also for my helium. Max 3 is disappointing in performance (CPU/GPU) but that starts with max 2. On camera part pictures are very good with gcam :cowboy:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
I feel the same; the Max 3 is underwhelming due to it being under powered CPU/GPU wise - just compare it with the Huawei MediaPad M5 (running Kirin 960) or their own MiPad 4 (Snapdragon 660).

The general situation is a bit like with the Xperia Z Ultra: It took three years until a worthy replacement appeared, which was the Mi Max. The "dream device" would be a stylus equipped 7-8 inch 16:9 or 16:10 device with Snapdragon 660, 710 or 8xx with 128-512GB storage plus memory card slot, two USB-C ports (if the 3.5 mm headphone jack is eliminated) and 8GB RAM running Windows 10 for ARM paired with a keyboard dock. I say Windows 10 since Google decided to dumb Android down; it is unreasonable to expect a brand new device to run Nougat at this time.;)

Lets hope the upcoming foldable devices will bring much needed improvement and finally established the proper converged category needed.

I heard that Pocofone F1 is a really great device and might just be the one to be a true flagship killer, I will definitely upgrade to it if I could have it imported for a good price. I hope nijel8 also finds this device and be able to purchase it, so that it will have a great LIneageROM
