[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Nothing special. In the CPU pane I set the governors to ondemand. They seem to give the smoothest all-around performance. I also make sure the max frequencies are set as high as they can go, adjust the touch boost delay down to 20ms, and again set all the boost frequencies to max Mhz and turn off 'Schedule workqueues...', if it isn't already. In Thermal, just Core Control is enabled. In GPU, I haven't noticed much difference in the governors I've used (msm-adreno-tz/simple_ondemand/performance). Those are with the stock EPIC kernel though. With this one I have found that using interactive for the governors produces much better results, but more importantly, I get ~155k consistenly.

The CPU Hotplug pane is an extra that we don't get to play with on the stock EPIC kernel too so I need to investigate what i can do there to squeeze out a bit more juice or if it's better left alone.

On all kernels, the biggest boost comes not from kernel tweaking, but from deleting the three thermal/perf-related files. thermal-engine-8996.conf in /system/etc and perfd/thermal-engine in the /system/etc/vendor/bin folder.

I found I had to switch to the interactive governor (on EPIC I'd always found ondemand to be solid), otherwise it seems fine. With the CPU/GPU overclocks I expected at least a small boost in the scores, but none that I've noticed. I'm using this mainly for safetynet compliance anyway, so as long as it's not janky (as I found with RR/LOS) then it's cool.

Sometimes I get a 1-2 second delay on the FP scanner. This only happens now and again though.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xxBrun0xx:
Any luck getting this to work? If so, what did you do? Seems impossible to get both root and safetynet to pass on epic rom, even with this kernel.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
You same here. Just tried on 7.5.15 and all good but no safetynet pass :(
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Had to go back to 7.5.15 to get it to work. It has Magisk by default, which gives root. It still won't pass without the patch though.

Yes it works fine. Just the video has the same problem like before fix. :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
With this setup all works great but I think battery life is considerably shorter than without the kernel... Anyway all great.

Just one thing that noticed right now... I am not completely sure (might be cable or plug issue I don't know) but it seems my phone got stuck at 87% charging and never goes past that... It has been plugged for a long while, thought it surely must've been full hours ago and when I get it it's at 87%... Anyone having had something like this ever?

With this same setup (epic 7.5.15, DX, thermal and perfd files renamed, governors put to ondemand), I had already full charged the device at least once without issues...

Papps: do you think it can have something to do whatsoever with the kernel?

Thanks!!!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xxBrun0xx:
Found a couple tricks that nearly doubled my battery life recently on MIUI:

-Use ghostpepper interactive governor tweak (found here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70681254&postcount=2549)

-Underclock Big to 2.15Ghz

-Underclock Little to 1.5Ghz

-Underclock GPU to 560Mhz

-Use greenify's aggressive doze feature. Enable Doze on the Go. Whitelist apps you want to get instant notifications from (ie, hangouts, whatsapp, fb messenger, etc)

I used to end a day @ ~20%, now I'm ending days ~60% with same usage. Pretty sure most of that is due to aggressive doze and a cpu that stays at lower frequencies much more (although UI is still buttery smooth with this setup).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
I will try all that :)

Emmm so that app works?!?!?! They say it's just for OP3 and OP3T...
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jinthegodstyle:
Opt3 and MI mix has the same cpu that's why :) could please developer fix the kernel for this ROM? :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
What do you mean fix the kernel?!

I mean it's working fine for me... Do you refer to the files that need to be removed?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jinthegodstyle:
I had the same issue with video like first time after flashing the new rom. :) but I installed by twrp something, I did wipe davlik, cache and now works fine for me too. Sorry for my wrong message. :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pappschlumpf:
The camera drivers are swapped to ones being compatible with the kernel. Deleting cache / data of the camera maybe enough to fix it, too.

Dirty flash whichever ROM you're using and it'll restore the default kernel.

This is for UKM reborn dev.

looks like the kernel breaks something with newest 7.7.6 miui.... as after flashing the kernel the "find my device" is constantly crashing, double checked it right now... even after clean install... using default kernel everythings fine...

crash log says: com.xiaomi.finddevice.Application: java.lang.RuntimeException: addService failed

i tired to get a log or something this really difficult as the app crashes continously and no change to get anywhere, how can i get you a log to maybe fix this issue?

Maybe another dev has fun using miui and could figure that out.

hi, 7.7.6 is working now, BIG THX!

but safteynet isn't passable with magisk 13.1 and this kernel and miui 7.7.6 :(

i don't know if this is something within miui or the kernel or magisk 13.1 or the universal safteynet fix.... i just know before you'd pass'ed this damn thing... :D
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pappschlumpf:
The kernel is the same and has safetynet commandline patch. Only thing that has changed is the ROM. Logically though it is not the kernel. RR passes safety net with magisk 13.1 and without using any additional patch and the same kernel, except eas. It's clearly the ROM. If you need working safetynet MIUI could not be your first choice.

Kernel Config Inquiry

Hello XDA community, I am thinking to give this kernel a try on my Mi Mix running Viper ROM. Any suggestions/recommendations once flashed to configure for the absolute best and balanced performance & battery life equally? Or is it fine as-is straight out of the box w/o any needed modifications???
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mr 911:
I'll try it for you
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
[MENTION=6093762]mr 911[/MENTION], while I appreciate the offer however that wasn't my question. I am very well capable of flashing this kernel I just wanted some recommendations in regards to config of the kernel once flashed. :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Two problems.

1. This kernel is for MIUI (and ROMs based on MIUI). It's not compatible with others like Lineage/AICP/Viper etc.

2. It hasn't been updated in nearly 8 months.

If you want an up to date kernel that has overclocking then use Psychedelic. If you don't care about the overclock, use Floppy.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mr 911:
Gav are custom devs for the mix waiting on source code I think you call it too sort Oreo out for us mix owners?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Most ROMs are at least in part based on Lineage. They were migrating to Oreo 8.0 for version 15 but decided to concentrate instead on upgrading to 8.1 since it has a whole bunch of fixes/improvements. As far as I can tell, this is the main cause of the hold up. That and the lack of active devs for the Mix who can take the existing source code and build a working Oreo build. More popular devices like the OP3T (which has the same CPU/GPU as ours) already have multiple Oreo ROMs. We'll just have to wait a bit longer.

I've been running Oreo (8.0) on my old Nexus 6 for months and I use it exactly as I do Nougat. There isn't anything new that's worth talking about. It's mainly small stuff like better notification control/improved battery tweaks/quicker boot time etc. The only fancy new addition is picture-in-picture, where you can have a smaller window laid over the main window (e.g watch a YouTube video while browsing with Chrome).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
[MENTION=5657304]gavin19[/MENTION],exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much.

Do you have any reviews or recommendations from your opinion on any of your suggested two kernels running on Viper ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Viper is also out of date (October last year) and highly unlikely to get any future updates. I'd suggest either AICP (most customisable) or Lineage for the ROM, and either of the two kernels I mentioned. They're all still getting regular updates.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
Yep, I'm very aware of VIPER being out of date but hands down the customization and usability is stellar. I may consider giving another ROM flavor a fair try.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
AICP is more customisable and still updated. Resurrection Remix is also more customisable but it has also been halted (last version was from November IIRC).

In terms of performance, the best thing you can do by far is to go into the /system/vendor/bin folder and delete the perfd and thermal-engine files. This will remove the restrictive caps on the CPU/GPU and allow the phone to perform at its peak. Typically you'd get ~125k in the old Antutu, but more like ~155k with them deleted. Kernel tweaks only make minor differences.

Does anyone know if theres a way to send sms 1 minute earlier each day so day 1 its 9:56 day 2 9:55 day 3 9:54.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Use a variable for the profile's time context. In the task, send the sms then decrease the variable by a minute.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] anthony001:
Is there a way to convert string to date or time? my initial variable is a string
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
You don't need to convert the variable, just use the correct format. To send initial text at 09:56 am, then 1 minute earlier every day;

Initial value %SMSTime =9.56

Set variable %SMSTime-0.01 (check do maths)

tasker time context

If you want to send only on certain day(s), your profile needs a day context as well.

i have a var %CHECKBAL with value 8.42 and i use that on the time profile like you guys suggested. i put that var on the to and from. Do you guys know what is wrong?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
In the profile properties (select the profile then hit the gear icon at top right), is limit repeats checked?

If you go to the variables tab, it's your variable shown and set as you expect?

There's always using tasker's logging to see if there's an error.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] anthony001:
cant find the gear icon which contains the limit repeats option. i can only see the three dot. the three dot only has "help:this screen" and "userguide" option. Do you mean the repeat checkbox inbetween from and to?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
It sounds like you are inside the context setting. You need to access the profile settings. The profile is the contexts that trigger the task and the task to be triggered.

I'm on the latest beta so I guess maybe it's differing in the "stable" version (I don't remember). The user guide for profiles says "Long-click on the profile name to get profile options".
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
I've been running this profile for a week. It's been sending an SMS daily, 1 minute earlier each day. I'm posting it here going it will help you. For example, if you don't have "do maths" checked in the set variable action, the variable might get goofed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] torryd81:
Just curious, why are you needed a screen protector. These screens don't scratch or break to easily unless you are really rough with phones or have a physical job you should be fine. I keep my phone on my pocket all the time and there are no scratches or marks on the screen. Its in an Incipio case which has no screen protector, just a body cover up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] migsims:
lol. of course they scratch easily and all it takes to break is an unlucky drop face down with a rock in a place where your case isn't covering. Even if you're the most careful person in the world dust and particles all around you every day have materials in it that can easily scratch gorilla glass. This is why all those tiny little scratches start to show up on people's screens over time - a screen protector keeps it immaculate.

It's odd to me that people seem to think gorilla glass is some magic material. It has a scratch rating that may prevent your keys from scratching it. But those tiny particles of sand that can build up on the bottom of your pockets will DEFINITELY easily scratch your screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] torryd81:
I see what you mean. Guess I've just been lucky ?
