No, MiMax with 64GB and 128GB is helium !!!! only 32GB and I guess there is also a 16GB version, is hydrogen :D ..So you flashed the hydrogen firmware on on a helium and that caused the issue.

...No, the firmware is not included in the custom roms, only in the MIUI roms. In my case I removed the firmware links now and will only provide it when it is really needed to avoid such thing in the future, because many people are not sure what to do with that firmware thing and to explain when and a firmware flash is really needed just irritates them even more. :D

My ? speeeeeeed :cool: not really a feature, but I don't know any other ROM that runs that fast, so I just call it a XenonHD benefit. The stock apps are great. NovaLauncher, Substratum, Kernelaudiutor, And as a dev I really like the mix of the lineageOS/AOSP base which works perfectly with all nijel8 trees. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
all this trouble because you did not even know the name of your device?

you have helium and all this while you were playing with hydrogen firmware without asking.

have your phone specs in your signature and read and verify before booting to recovery, to be safe the next time
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
As I recall you are one of the first Mi Max owners here and you still don't know hydrogen-helium difference? Shame really...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] coffee-turtle:
OK. My first post was that when I did the HELIUM firmware, it gave a string of errors. It was the Hydrogen firmware that applied with a success. It is true I've been dealing with HELIUM all of this time, but I do get the names confused once in awhile and thought when Helium firmware didn't work, I must have needed Hydrogen instead. Bad of me, but the error and success messages were completely the opposite of what I would have expected, eh?

[MENTION=234907]nigel[/MENTION]... come on. You know I've been flashing this baby from day one and advocating this device every way I can. I have had my share of issues tinkering with things, but here I am still showing it love on Nougat! Also many kudos with all your personal efforts and assists in the community!

LOL! Don't gang up on your fan! :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Would be the same like refuel your car with diesel fuel instead of gazoline, because the gazoline tap didn't match your tank hole :D !!NEVER!! use any hydrogen firmware/drivers on helium again :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
Surely no ganging up on one of the fellow users. :)

You can surely use my suggestion of having your device's specs in your signature so that help can be given without any confusion.

Great that you finally got it working. This stuff can lead to bad problems. :P

in your rom i cant use xinternal (xposed module) after reboot just get black screen
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Unfortunately, I can't help you with xposed stuff. It's not officially supported and I have no experience with it on Nougat.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
I wouldn't call Xposed/Nougat anywhere close to being "stable". I gave it a whirl on RR and XenonHD without any particular success.

My recommendation is to wait for the official version, which is on its way according to info.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] coffee-turtle:
Yes, I have to admit this is a lot zippier!

Good point on the LINEAGEOS/AOSP base.

MiXplorer built is great since I was using it before on Marshmallow, and I also had Kernel Audiutor too. Substratum and even Nova is new to me. Themes galore!

Hi guys, sorry that I bother again,.but I still cannot run Bluemail on this rom. If nobody has idea how to solve this, can you please at least install it (perfect would be after clean flash) and if it workd, put here also a log with open gapps and phone settings? Thanks

Awsome rom. Just need to ask how to replace exisiting nova launcher with nova launcher prime? as it does not allows to remove the exisitng one even via titanium backup.

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
LOL are you serious? is this the first time you're using Nova launcher or any ROM or your phone?

c'mon man.

Just install the nova launcher prime app from playstore, if you've bought it, obviously.

or do you want to use the pirated one?

@Davehimself buddy what are the new changes in 4 sep build?

Is there a place where you maintain the changes which I might have missed?

thanks :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Just check the changelogs in XenonHD OTA app or at the main page, they are always up to date :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Yes, like HannibalLecter said, Nova prime is not an own version, it is an "unlock" so just install the prime version over playstore and all prime features are unlocked :)

Sorry, never heard about that bluemail before. I use gmail and it's working fine.:confused:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
thanks bud.

One problem that I've been facing recently is that Reverie Substratum theme has not been working well for me.

I am not able to apply any of its colour variants on this ROM. Whatever I select only the stock/default colour options get applied.

I have posted about this to Andre Zimmerman the developer of the Reveire theme and he says android system overlay might not be getting applied.

II will try to apply the theme on Carbon ROM on OPO to see if this is a ROM issue or theme issue.

Edit: [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] Confirmed buddy. The problem is with the OMS/Substratum patch on the ROM.

Reverie theme is applying/working just fine on Carbon ROM on Bacon.

But here the Android System overlay does not Get applied. [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION]

palns to fix OMS?

I am on the resurrection remix ROM from June 23. I really didn't get the time to update or follow up on the ROM.

I move to this ROM from RR official 5.8.4 last build, I think this is the fastest custom ROM I ever used.

I also try MIUI 9 global Beta 7.9.7 for mi max prime only for 1 day and change back to this ROM,

always got error showing google play services stopped in miui 9, no guide to solved the problem.

Can I request feature for fingerprint unlock app?, I'm using applock , I hope this ROM can have the feature itself without install other app.

Using protected app menu is not convenient, must click the notification everytime to unlock app.

I only like miui because it can choose what app to run in the background with lock on recent app, really save the battery.

Can this ROM have that feature?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
You can lock apps by clicking the small lock icon in recents. (Same like in MIUI)

You can request features on the XenonHD G+ website: https://plus.google.com/communities...2/stream/a89ed612-c86f-4ec3-922c-93e89fd286e6

I just flashed the 0908 release, it's very fast but I can't get SD card write access for any app. The stock MiXplorer crashes when I try to write or delete on the SD card and other file explorer apps also crash. There's no prompt to give access to the card like on other ROMs.

Usually the Documents or Files app is used to give SD card permissions. On this ROM, MiXplorer is the default file explorer but MiXplorer can't give itself SD card permissions.

Sdcard again. Can somebody please confirm that issue, cause I don't have a sdcard.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] oatcooky:
It's confirmed, MiXplorer can't be used as the system file explorer because it can't grant access to the SD card. I tried flashing the Lineage file manager as a system app and it also couldn't grant permissions.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Are you using StickMount?

My own experience with USB-OTG and Marshmallow/Nougat is that it can cause a lot of frustration sometimes (apps that are unable to browse the drive, apps that are unable to open files and insist on copying them to the internal storage etc), which tend to lead to a simple conclusion: sdcardfs disabled, SuperSU 2.79SR3 and StickMount followed by access through /sdcard/usbstorage/ (the mount point assigned by StickMount) just... works.

The inability to open a PDF directly when it is on the flash drive typically happen when it is mounted as "external storage" with those permissions as opposed to having it managed by StickMount. FX File Explorer tend to provide completely different results - if it is "external" I have to copy the PDF to internal to open. When I go through /sdcard/usbstorage/ with sdcardfs set to false in build.prop I can open it directly. The sdcardfs=false is only necessary for Kodi, file managers work well when it is enabled.

I would say that anyone using USB flash drives a lot, especially if they have them as "data sources" for different apps (such as Kodi, MX Player, MoonReader etc) should consider StickMount, sdcardfs=false and SuperSU 2.79SR3 (StickMount can't work without it). It provide a "Lollipop like" workflow (all "issues" with flash drives started with Marshmallow when Google decided to change the whole permission management and way they were mounted).

Two Questions:

By the way, someone explained that they went back to LineageOS to get around the bug with the extFat formatted SDCard read/write. Your OS is LineosOS with some AOSP enhancements, right? I just wanted to know what is the full list of advantages of XenonHD over pure LineosOS?

Also, work is being done on Xposed for Nougat which includes Xiaomi Mi Max LOS. Since XenonHD is LineageOS under-the-hood, would it be safe to experiment with Xposed modules?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Sure that was XenonHD ? This bug was present in AOSP Extended and I fixed it yesterday, so are you sure this bug is also present in XenonHD ?

Yes, XenonHD is LineageOS based with AOSP parts. "Advantages" are customizations. but LineageOS has it's own advantages too. It's the base rom, from where almost every other ROM is build of or at least take many parts from. I don't know any ROM that doesn't take LineageOS stuff. You could call LineageOS/CyanogenMod the vather of ROMs. But, you can't customize much. It's pretty plain and raw and that's why many users switch to different ROMs.

I don't really know much about Xposed. Used it for while on Android Marhmallow, but didn't go deeper into it. Ask [MENTION=1547420]E90 Commie[/MENTION] maybe. He is more experienced with it :)
