you can keep the gallery app or prebundle the camera roll (unreleased) gallery app. it is a very cool upcoming gallery app.

Okay I found a bug - OMS/ Substratum is not working.

THe error message says : This version of Substratum is not authorized to work with system interfacer module.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] man2106:
if you guys need the miui calculator app(the only thing i miss in miui) here it is

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
[MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] can you release a new build with OMS fixed? :)

Please please please :D

PS: and all those aosp apps removed
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
How do I get this error message ? I tried several themes without problems :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
really? I tried Belo, Mono, Reverie and also one font through type face.

I faced this error.

No theme gets applied. I also have the error log.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
My experience with Substratum wasn't entirely positive (this is based on 5.8.1/5.8.2 so not this ROM implementation) when I noticed that Privacy Guard became very prohibited zone when I applied the Multi UI theme. Immediate FC when I entered the "Advanced" tab.

I haven't tried it again since (the other reason is the behavior when updating ROMs, i.e. flash the theme uninstaller whatever you do since it will be a nice infinite FC loop on bootup otherwise).

It is interesting that Substratum has its issues since it is based off the Xperia theme engine/RRO Layers by Sony and it works well on their stock/based ROMs (I must admit that my experience there is a bit old since I have been using AOSP/CM based things on my Ultra most of the time but still).
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
That would be a really "naked" build. I just wanted to replace the old stock apps, that nobody really uses, so if you don't need them remove whatever you want. You can also remove the companion and tesla, just use an app like device control to clean your system :) substratum OMS is part of RR and one of the best features, so I think substratum preinstalled is a good thing. Just remove it too with device control if you don't need it ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I don't want to buy them all, so I can't test it. I tried pixel android o, swift dark, swift black, pixel dark no problems here. I don't like to ask, but did you do a dirty flash ? :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
no I came from nijel's ROM. So did a full clean flash. :P

The error says this version of substratum is not authorized to use system interfacer module?

this sounds strange. Permissions problem?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Okay got it. Just an other version. I will add the playstore version and reupload the builds. And yes, I cleaned some more apps like the stock email now, but it's really hard to find these other stock apps you mentioned. In source they often got other names so you don't know where they are hiding :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
I'll wait (holding my breath) :P

you csan find all these pesky old apps in root>system>app

WAP Push Manager

Lock clock

and priv-app

CallLogBackup

CellBroadcastReceiver

LiveLockscreenservice

cmaudioservice
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I'm building from source. that's something completely differrent. I know where apps are located in the build dir :D.. I got 100gb of data here which is all sourcecode from RR CM Lineage opengapps device driver etc. and from that you compile a rom ;)

...you can use substratum now. just remove it and install the playstore version, that's all :) .(..use an app like device control to remove system apps)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
[MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] Indeed the problem was with the usage of Substratum app from another source.

I deleted the substratum app using solid explorer root mode and installed from play store.

Now, theme works.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
buddy removing pre-bundled apps is a piece of cake and does NOT require any app.

Just use any root explorer, I prefer Solid explorer, and simply go to root>system>apps and priv-app directory and delete all the unwanted apps.

I firmly believe that all the apps that [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] has included are standard apps that everybody uses. Including them is a sure shot plus.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] man2106:
what i did to fix it uninstalled substratum with titanium backup etc restart and substratum is there back again or install from playstore iand if you are dirty flashing need to clear data n cache from playstore
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
yep. I did it. Deleted system app and installed from play store.

:) working now.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
Thanks for letting me know that deleting that way leaves so many tombstones.

So, using the app that davehimself suggested doesn not? please let me know this too. or any other way that does not leave **** behind, :P

I liked Solid explorer and bought it. You suggest miXplorer because it is free? (it is xda only, right? wonder why)

Also, you can share your private rr builds with us too. Let us know you configuration.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
device control and and other apps DO work with magsik, same like with any other root method, so maybe you got an old or broken version of magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zarrar Palekar:
30/7/2017 a massive update of 831MB. I was pretty sure something's up for grab and I checked the changelog after installing it and in the changelog found one of the two things that I wanted written in it that is Lineage Gallery app(on user request) but I am not able to find any such app in the rom. Correct me if I am doing something wrong. PS : The second thing I wanted to be corrected is Alarm time notification on lock screen and inside notification bar which shows random wrong alarm time always. Great efforts though. Appreciate and recommend this RR rom
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] iguoh:
[MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] I just did a clean flash on my Hydrogen. I am not sure if this is a bug: I gave Nova permissions to Location as I like the Google Weather widget in the search bar. When I do that, Nova crashes non-stop. It stops crashing when I remove the Location permission.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
[MENTION=249488]Dave A[/MENTION]stounding audio quality,although i dont like the majority of gapps like google,maps,text to speech and some others like default email all these i have removed,battery performance looking good, i am actually right now too occupied in all the stuff given :) ,but looks great, great upgrade

i had to uninstall substrantum thou,i couldnt uninstall it from the inbuilt system app remover so used another app and i dont like nova :) , that feature of auto changing of wallpaper daily was a good one on treubtech
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rizky123:
I have some idea for this rom,maybe you can use Aroma interface so user can choose what app they want in TWRP,what do you think about it dev :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Qulox:
I clean flashed the update (and SuperSU) and everything seems to work fine. Except for substratum which I had to replace with the play store version because it didn't let me use themes. I also uninstalled most Google apps (I only ever use pico OpenGapps package). I used TitaniumBackup to uninstall system apps. [emoji106] Working great now, thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
It seems like the old saying: "Add an app and someone will complain!" is true.;)

How many are using ROMs without G-Apps?

Especially Google Maps is a bit special since a couple of location aware apps are using its API (I remember this as a pretty obvious issue on G-Appsless installations - i.e. no GPS at all since they simply called Maps for it).

Before flashing the latest update I always used Open G-Apps Mini (which I have been using for a couple of years since the smallest versions are too basic for my Google needs and the bigger ones are too much).

I think the idea of including a basic set of G-Apps such as Google Maps is excellent, especially today with Google letting the AOSP apps slide way behind, i.e. they aren't up to date.

The idea of Aroma Installer is not bad (I have been using it on different ROMs for my Sony devices).

Putting Nova Launcher in instead of Trebuchet is also very good (I always disabled the latter anyway since I don't really see it's place today).

The latest ROM has been perfect so far and I think its configuration regarding G-Apps to be a great mix between basic functionality and elimination of bloat. It has a slimmer fit than "fully loaded" Google ROMs on Nexus/Pixel (where there are a lot of Google apps preinstalled).

So two thumbs up for this update from me.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] akubaek:
How to fix this.. busybox already install
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
You mean a pop-up window after the system boots up of the Aroma interface ? Many people just flash pico or nano gapps, so they wont be happy with a 1,5GB big rom that includes about 1GB "trash" :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
okay maybe I'll just open a poll for the most common gapps variant

If you need an overview of the packages:

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rizky123:
Making a poll for gapps seem like a good idea :)

I use pico gaaps because I only need play store :b
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Morrrrrteza:
please use pico because anyone want any app...

he can install it's Normal .

just for light rom plzzzzzzzz.!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
okay, thx, I will setup again and upload an other build then.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
You don't need to flash anything else in this build. Got everything you need cause of nijel8's base ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] yepyup:
not include magisk
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
It is a set of scripts aimed at optimizing the device operation (especially reducing power consumption). There has been a lot of progress in the dedicated battery/power savings thread and also the njiel8 Lineage OS ditto.

It is about making a Snapdragon 650/652 running at its absolute best with intelligent power management so the scripts are all about CPU optimization (i.e. we are not talking about "ROM optimization" but everything related to the processor.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Nope, a link to Magisk is in main thread. I let everybody choose himself about root. Some prefer Magisk, others SuperSU and also some people don't want to root at all.

Magisk has got an survival script since a few weeks now, so you only have to flash it once. It will automatically reflash everytime you do a system update.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] man2106:
seriously i have installed all the scripts from the power/tuning channel the difference is actually minimum once you start playing intensive game all script become useless battery consumption is still high in my opinion
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Skalexs:
Any objetive data about "is still hight"? Like game, time, birghtness, cpu activity etc. Compared with what, miui? Other phone? A Nintendo switch maybe?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] man2106:
like i say this is my opinion your opinion might differ but still life goes on right?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
I am downloading the new build now. I did flash the earlier one and have a few observations:

1. Harfix 2.1 is still needed in my case due to my very specific need for Kodi to be able to access my USB-OTG flash drives.

This isn't a "bug" but rather something that is about permissions (file explorers such as Root Explorer can access everything on any Nougat kernel but Kodi is very picky about permissions; it just doesn't show the content on the drive if they aren't what the app expect).

2. The ROM works really well - I would say that it "just works".

3. It is excellent to not include anything like Magisk. It is better to let the user decide (I use SuperSU 2.79SR3 due to my specific needs).

The Kodi/USB-OTG flash drive situation is pretty much "isolated" to that particular app and unless I flash Harfix 2.1 (2.2 doesn't work, Nebula v1 worked but no v2 etc) I got a "blank drive" when I try to set up my sources. Earlier discussions led to the conclusion that it has something to do with permissions and probably with Kodi not being fully updated to handle the new system (people started to report the issue on Marshmallow on different devices). I didn't encounter it on AICP (Xperia Z Ultra) or RR 5.7.4 (Max) but it seems like Nougat brought some changes that led to it appearing on my device unless very specific kernels are used.

The pathway I use with StickMount is /storage/sdcard/usbstorage/[drivename]/

I got the drive mounted on other kernels (i.e. I can browse it from a file manager) but Kodi doesn't show anything (I can navigate to the /usbstorage/ but is unable to enter the file tree itself on the flashdrive) and that is where Harfix 2.1 comes in (it does allow me to browse it).

My device is as power efficient as a device can be (0.0-0.1% per hour in standby) and the screen on consumption is low, generally speaking.

How much does your device use per hour?

When you run the CPU/GPU up to full power, it is pretty self-explanatory that "power saving" scripts won't do too much of a difference if at all. It is like running an engine at maximum continuous power settings; it will consume very high amounts of fuel (especially on low altitude where the air is dense).

Power saving is about trying to get the CPU down to low speed as much as possible rather than running at "full power" for more time than necessary. A game will push it constantly, though.

"Power saving during gaming" is like "an idle-thrust take-off".;)

I would also add 4K video recording as another example: expecting "power saving" in this operating mode (when the CPU/GPU is processing a lot of video data in real time) is very much like expecting an engine to consume the same amount of power on its take-off setting as idling on descent).
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] man2106:
yes agreed :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dungphp:
Please send me link v2.1 kernel, i will try
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
It is necessary to avoid the "journalist trap". Power optimization make a difference in a lot of use cases but not dedicated CPU/GPU intense tasks.

The journalist trap is when making statements along the lines of "power optimization is useless since it doesn't affect gaming!"

It is like flashing ROM X and then spend the whole day recording 4K video and then return to XDA with the statement: "It used a lot of power, it isn't a power efficient ROM".

[MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] ota run great on your latest helium built.great work thanks.will report again if i find any bugs.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
https://openload.co/f/bFrxKAUDw5I/Harfix4-R2.1.zip

Just one comment here: I use it because of my specific Kodi setup. For those who don't have Kodi installed (or use it with NAS or other networking solutions) I wouldn't say that this kernel is going to make a "difference". So flashing it expecting "miracles" isn't anything I would recommend. It works well on my device but I have no "choice" here - I "must" use it since my setup fail otherwise.

Great, thanks for feedback. Now I wont post any changelogs or announcements for new builds in my thread anymore, because everybody will get these infos automatically over OTA :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Thank you for bringing OTA to those with Helium. The ROM is excellent, keep up the good work.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Welcome, glad to know people like my project :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Your project is excellent since it is built on an excellent ROM (RR offer the exact customization options I like and is able to replace GravityBox). I have been using it since the LP era (spent a lot of time on GPe 4.4.4 with GB back in the days and went RR early 2015).

The availability of RR was the core reason for me to buy the Max as a replacement for my Xperia Z Ultra (I wouldn't buy any device without this ROM or similar ones like AICP or DU since my setup is very specifically geared toward them).

So all thumbs up for continuing "RR service" for our device, especially Helium.

[MENTION=7828781]chriscarver[/MENTION]

I'm using the same 13.3 magisk version, so you are doing something wrong. Device control and every other app that requires root works without any problems.

...and since years I remove all system apps with an app like device control and never have had any problems with that, so I don't say you are wrong, but why should I care about all this when everything is working fine ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] raymondsanusi:
Hi guys, is the latest magisk working fine in the newest build? Can u flash module through magisk manager?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rizky123:
It should be working fine
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Sure, all fine:)

Same here. I install pico, and then only the extra apps I need like Maps, Gmail, Youtube, Drive... but I don't want Hangouts, Messenger, Calendar, Search and the worst of all: Google Now = hungry devil spy ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zasnizas:
regarding to your pol, I will choose nano since it only has minimal apps package. I used it since day one I use custom rom. So let's user's choose what apps they want to install and one more thing I don't use viper4android I use viper4arise basically it is same app but with more advanced features since it bundle with more sound mod and of course with more quality audio compared to viper4android. I prefer to use viper4arise. Yes I know I can uninstall it's and then flash viper4arise but by doing this way I will lose my viper4arise settings everytime I updated rom. It's a little bit pain to settings it back to what I want. I can't simply flash it directly after updated rom anymore since your bundle viper4android in your new build. So please can you give me suggestions on how to update your new build without losing viper4arise settings? Other than that your rom is amazing, very fast and smooth. Thank you very much for making this awesome rom. (Sorry for my bad English) cheers :)

Charging is very slow in this rom.. can someone suggest any kernel that charge with normal rate?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Don't know any kernel like that since my device charge as usual. Check your charger and USB cable.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] akubaek:
My charger have qc 3.0 .. before this i got 2380 mA with sawdoctor build.. i try to flash update yesterday.. but the result still the same.. i read in this thread that someone have same problem with me
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I will wait and watch the poll's result for 2-3 days, then I will build the rom based on your votes. What definitely will happen in any case is the replacement of the stock AOSP apps like dialer, messenger and mail.

In addition to that I will build on your votes. Until now it looks like a pico build with nova or pixellauncher, substratum and V4A but let's see again in the next days :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] akubaek:
Took 7hour to finish charging.. now have to wait 4 hour.. :(

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andypa1:
hi guys, loving this ROM but just a couple of issues.

Magisk manager keeps crashing, so in turn any app that requires root won't work. Any solutions for this?

Secondly some of the settings pages don't work and crash.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Andy
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Do you mean the reboot/loading issue of magisk ? ...After every reboot, you must wait for about 1-2 minutes until magisk gives all the permissions. If you try to open the settings menu for exemple before that it will crash, because it's waiting for the permissions. I noticed that since magisk 13.2 and didn't find a solution for it yet. I always have to wait the 1-2 minutes after a reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Neo.Collin:
Brother... Do you mind reinstalling firmware & latest firmware from nigel? I had this couple of weeks back. I cleaned up everything and started with TWRP, firmware & ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andypa1:
Unfortunately not, my phone has been booted since last night and the manager app isn't loading just shows the face logo. Same goes for root apps, no option comes up for granting permissions.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
1. Which Settings page crash?

2. Do you use Substratum?

I had frequent FCs when I used the MultiUI theme and Privacy Guard. The Advanced tab didn't work at all until I removed it.

I can't speak for Magisk since I use SuperSU, though.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
magisk 13.3works fine ,however i have removed it and installed su,going to remove gmail and install k9 ,gmail is a battery hogger wspecially if i configure hotmail account also.

power seems to be at high consumption will wait for couple of daya and check after uninstall gmail

i think i downloaded the rom early its size is 876mb but someone mentioned it as 831mb
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
also may remove chrome and opt of via or firefox focus
