[MENTION=274218]Gavin[/MENTION] 19, would you mind explaining or PM me please? In AICP ROM which file to flash if I'm coming from VIPEROS? When checking the download I see the latest AICP zip but right above it is an AICP OTA file, both pretty much the same size. Also, can you provide me the GAPPS recommendation and if you could suggest a good solid, well balanced kernel that would be most appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Don't use the OTA, download the other one - https://host.llamasweet.tech/genesixx/aicp/lithium/aicp_lithium_n-12.1-UNOFFICIAL-20180130.zip

For GApps it all depends on which you need. If you click the icon beside each variant on the http://opengapps.org/ page then it'll show which are included.

For the kernel, I've never used stock as I've always used either DragonXia (outdated) or Psychedelic (current). I use it primarily because it has overclocking, but the Floppy kernel has several different variants that may suit you more.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
Excellent, thank you for all this. In regards to the kernel specifically, I would much rather give Psychedelic a try however by no means am I a kernel config guru. I tried Floppy with ViperOS but the Spectrum app no longer seems to work or is compatible in the Play Store as suggested in the OP. I would much rather something balanced with excellent performance and battery life efficiency that takes advantage of our Mi Mix 4400 Mah beauty. Preferably, out of the box settings once I have flashed the kernel would suit me well but I can understand you may get better performance with overclocking + governor and adjustments. [MENTION=5657304]gavin19[/MENTION], would advice or recommendations would you say for the Psychedelic once I have flashed it or does it work quite well out of the box when flashed and given time to settle :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
I'm not the person to ask if you want a balanced profile. I basically max everything with no care for battery life.

In the settings, I set the battery profile to performance.

In the /system/vendor/bin directory, I delete the perfd and thermal-engine files (requires reboot afterwards). This is by far the most important tweak to max performance.

In the Kernel Adiutor app -

In the CPU section -

* set governors to ondemand

* disable 'schedule workqueues...'

* set Boost interval to 20ms

* set all core frequencies to max

In the Thermal section -

* only enable Core Control

In the GPU section -

* disable Adreno Idler

* set governor to performance

In the I/O section -

* set scheduler to Maple

* set read-ahead to 2048kB

* disable I/O Stats

I need help

Hi after I flash this, when I boot up they say process system is not responding and when I go into my gallery, all my storage files are gone. PLEASE HELP ME
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Which files did you flash? Did you get any errors during flashing? Did you format any partitions before flashing? Which ROM did you come from?

You should just use AICP instead of this ROM anyway. It's out of date and no longer maintained.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] alsonlow:
I need help

I flash the psychedelic kernel files I got from the original thread. The system say my media storage is not mounted
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
So you flashed the last version of Viper, then Psychedelic? You need to flash GApps (7.1/ARM64) too.

Again, which ROM did you come from? Did you format any partitions before flashing? Did you get any errors?

Also, have you ever flashed a firmware to your device, and which version of TWRP do you have?

I'd wipe system/data, flash AICP, GApps, and Psychedelic, wipe cache/dalvik, then reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] alsonlow:
Hi I came from MIUI stock room I didn't flash psychedelic rom

I just wipe cache and davlik before flashing.

I have twrp 3.0.2 or something

Can I go back to my original kernal? I read on some forum saying I can access my stock room kernel and reflash that one
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Psychedelic is a kernel. You're posting in the forum for the ViperOS ROM. I assume you didn't flash ViperOS?

Make sure you flashed the MIUI version of Psy and not the other one, if you're still on MIUI. To get back to stock MIUI kernel you'd need to flash whichever version of MIUI you flashed before.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] alsonlow:
I followed this steps

First time install:

Reboot to TWRP recovery

Flash the kernel zip

Flash Magisk (optional)

Wipe cache and dalvik (optional)

Reboot

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

Is there anyway I can get the original MIUI kernel?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Which ROM are you on currently? If it's MIUI you need to make sure you flashed the MIUI version of Psy.

If you're on ViperOS (this forum) then you need to have flashed the LOS version of Psy.

Either way, you should be posting in the Psychedelic thread.

What do u suggest I shall do next? Cos I can't access my internal storage now

The download page gives network error...is there some other way to download this rom?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] james1089:
You would definitely have to wipe system as well from advanced in twrp, you probably haven't lost anything as long as you weren't encrypted. It's only optional if you come from other lineage based ROM.

Fresh install results in Yotube Lag / No Audio problem

Viper was my last Rom to try with the Mi MIx. Apart form not being able to hide the Navbar dynamically

like MIUI 9, i liked it a lot. So i was very disappointed to see the stutter / lag / no audio YouTube problem

after setting up the device. I hat this problem before, when restoring Backups of different Roms. The

Mi Mix gets considerably hotter than with the original install of the same rom and YouTube is broken.

Any Ideas what the problem might have been? I am back to stock MIUI 9 Global now. and all Media

are running smoothly.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xpen.xda:
Possibly the rom doesn't get along with the firmware version your mix has onboard.. have you tried upgrading the firmware?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] james1089:
I would say downgrade as this room is months old flash 7. XX firmware and that problem will be gone for sure, remember to wipe both caches under advance in twrp
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ultraman666:
Mmmmm never had any of these issues when using this rom
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Lightde:
Same here :/ Could You describe how to do it?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] james1089:
Na, that's wrong firmware, as this rom is months old you will probably have to downgrade. Probably this 1.

https://mega.nz/#!pw801LCL!SV3GLtYlpym0Cy3BPSwjf37Li6RLTA4ezFcy381YEnA

Wipe caches after flashing.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Lightde:
Thanks. It's true - I though about it erlier and go to 7.11.30 and evrything works.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
Hello all, I'm currently running this ROM with Psychedelic Kernel out of the box no tweak adjustment whatsoever. Any recommendations on other Kernels compatible with VIPEROS ROM that perform significantly better?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
That kernel is already well tuned and it's overclocked for an extra bit of kick. You aren't going to get more performance out of any other kernel. The only other one worth trying is Floppy.

As I've said earlier in this thread, Viper is dead and it's not very safe to continue using it. You should consider AICP/Lineage as they're still being updated. There are two Oreo ROMs out there too, but neither has a working alternative kernel just yet.

AICP 12.1 and Psychedelic kernel will give you the best performance right now, at least until the Oreo ROMs mature a little and Psychedelic/Floppy get working Oreo builds.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
Thanks Gavin19, do you mind providing me with the latest AICP 12.1 zip file along with the latest firmware and any other add-ons that I should flash altogether to have a good working experience with the AICP ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
AICP releases - https://host.llamasweet.tech/genesixx/aicp/lithium

aicp_lithium_n-12.1-UNOFFICIAL-20180213 is the latest.

You'll need to flash GApps too, as usual, then Psychedelic kernel and optionally Magisk, if you want root.

Magisk - https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
Which firmware version if you don't mind me asking?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
Pretty much all of them will work but there is no reason not to use the latest.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
Thank you kindly
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
So, Gavin19 I'm all setup on the AICP Nougat flavor ROM and this is absolutely the best ROM in addition to VIPEROS in my opinion. I do love it and it is very fluid and stable. My next question is in regards to the OTA updates and ROM releases to flash and stay current. How often should I be checking the AICP thread for a new releases to flash (assuming dirty flashing is fine). Secondly, the OTA zips I see, what are those for and how would I flash them? Assuming all in the same way as any other ROM zip via TWRP. I just want to be sure that I stay current and up to date on the release builds and want to be sure that I am doing so and have the know how.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
I never got around to trying the OTA files, just the others. If they are functional then that would save flashing GApps, otherwise you'd need to flash one of the others then GApps (and optionally Magisk or SuperSU for root). As you can see from the dates on the releases, they're weekly. That said, the ROM is already fully functional and mature, so any updates will likely only bring very minor tweaks. Updating monthly would suffice to get the latest security patches. Also, they should be moving to Oreo very soon. I have made an unofficial Oreo build (13.1) and it's working very well already so the official ones shouldn't be too long behind.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Avalon:
Guys, I'm considering switching from ViperOS to another ROM. Preferably one that also has dark theme settings. Which one would you guys recommend?

And which version of TWRP should I use? I flashed a few versions but most of them render my touchscreen unresponsive.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
[MENTION=5657304]gavin19[/MENTION], I notice that you have been giving new life to AOSP ROMs throughout the forums for the Mi Mix with Oreo flavor added. What are the chances you could incorporate some of that love into the VenomOS ROM series? As I am sure you know that the VenomOS is keenly loved in the community for our device with plenty of people still running it as their daily (including me sporadically). Since it seems development on it died long ago, it would be nice to breath new life into it, if permissible.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Lightde:
I would also be grateful for that. Viper is my favorite.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gavin19:
ViperOS is dead. It's not like they just dropped the Mix. It's done. Looks like they decided that even with a team of contributors that it was too much effort to migrate to Oreo.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
Indeed it is gavin19 but the hopes since it is no longer in development is that you could sorta rebirth it in some way. Even if it doesn't migrate to Oreo at least maintain the security patches to rebase it or whatever it takes to "stay alive". I would be happy with that at the least. Even with all the other Oreo ROMs out now, I still always keep getting pulled back to ViperOS. Seems nothing is as fluid and flawless as this ROM even in its dead state. Again, just a hope and prayer with wishful thinking if you can do something with this similar to what you have been doing with Resurrection, AICP, etc.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] noodle089957:
very good custom rom Since, this ROM. Never will deactivate once. I hope the organizer ROM do Viper OS on Oreo?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
[MENTION=4125318]noodle089957[/MENTION],indeed it is. I'm hoping gavin19 picks it up to give it the same love he has been doing for other ROM's available on the Mi Mix
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Avalon:
His unofficial RR Oreo build is pretty amazing.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
With all due respect :) maybe you don't really grasp the scope of what you are asking here? Or if you do, then I don't know, maybe you believe Gavin is a team of some 10 or so devs with time to spare :)

Thing is: you can't get a rom to oreo just like that. You can't get an oreo rom for a device if the rom source is not maintained. And Viper is dead: nobody is going to bring it to oreo. It's not doable.

I'm sure more oreo roms will come to the Mix, both los and aosp based ones. But never ones that are dead :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
[MENTION=8252467]albertoduqe[/MENTION], I'm very much aware of my request and the scope of it. Alike, I also know that gavin is 1 person and not a team. Appreciate your input.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
Good to know.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Avalon:
It was a pleasure to have had this ROM as my daily driver :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xpen.xda:
It'd look like ViperOS is actively being ported to Oreo... Not necessarily to our Mix, though.

Some 8.1 screenshots popped up on the ViperOS Telegram channel, and at least one video on YouTube https://youtu.be/5iFEQmHJb90 (in Brazilian Portuguese)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
If rom source is ported to oreo and pushed to github or any other repo it will possible to compile :) as long as there's a working device tree and kernel and updated vendor...

As with any other rom source :)

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Something in the video catches my attention: 'based on lineageos' it says... Viper was aosp based in nougat... That'd be a surprising change... But who knows right? :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
[MENTION=8252467]albertoduqe[/MENTION], so do you still stand behind your earlier statement and I quote you, "And Viper is dead: nobody is going to bring it to oreo. It's not doable." ;)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
Totally :)

Although it was incomplete of course. I meant, as you well know, that (as far as we knew) it was dead (because the dev team behind it said so themselves). In that case, it wasn't doable for a single guy working on the mix for fun to do it. But if it is true then it means somebody took the rom source and did the job. Great! But without rom source on point there is no viper oreo for no device :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TYMO68:
I shall remain optimistic :) Even if ViperOS never resurfaces, something absolutely as close to the ViperOS ROM experience as possible would be appreciated alike.

I came back to the ViperOS

I know this isn't Oreo, but it's way better than what is out their now in terms of Oreo 8.1xxx

I can't work with the screen issue on incoming calls when the phone is in standby mode with the screen asleep. It's buggy, I am not complaining, I am just saying this was one of the principle reasons I was trying other 8.1 Roms. Obviously, it isn't an easy fix, and I can appreciate all the hard work provided by the various developers. So, THANK YOU for your hard and much appreciated Work and efforts.

I also found issues with LTE and radio connectivity. I run two phones simultaneously, a Razer Gaming Phone (not Oreo, and not rooted) and my Mi Mix 1. The speed of the LTE bands and connectivity of the Razer is far and away superior to the Mi Mix on Oreo. The connectivity is buggy, sometimes in no where land between LTE - 3G - and just lost. It can take sometimes over 1 - 2 minutes to connect to a simple parking meter app. No issues with the Razer phone at the same place, same time, same network. Yeah, I know, whatever...

And lastly, if I seem to stick it out for a while (more than 10 days) on one of the Oreo builds, I seem to get the Windows OS effect. The more I use the phone, the ever so slightly, day by day, it gets slower. Is it the Oreo builds? Or is it me.

Anyways, I was impressed from the day I tried ViperOS and was my favourite Non Oreo rom. So much so, that I am back to it. I need the speed and reliability that I cannot get with the present Oreo builds.

Cheers,

LormaD

guys,i tried flashing this rom.

everything works fine..except for the phone calls.

i'm unable to answer/decline incoming call. I'm able to make calls,but can't hang up after that.

anything that i did wrong? i tried flashing lineage os 14.1 as well,same thing happened. but when i revered back to xiaomi eu rom,phone calls works perfectly.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] scdoyle:
I have been using this ROM for three days and am very pleased. Extremely fast but still great battery life, and I have had no issues with proximity sensor. The only issue I have found, and it's not a big one, is that the auto brightness seems to sometimes react too sharply in that the screen will go from dim to very bright with a slight movement. I have seen this behaviour with other ROMs and I guess it might be because of the location of the sensor which means my hand can easily cover it.

I was thinking of ordering the Essential phone but this ROM has put a new life into my Mix - thank you to the developer!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] techyrock:
So there are no lags and stutters on this ROM no need of thermal fixes or flashing a kernel? It's just flash and use so far?? I really want a stock based ROM on my mix, and will xperia apps flashable work on this Rom? They are for Lineage based Roms

(at first it was giving me error assert failed xiaomi_modem error 7 then I was stuck in recovery has no option but flashed RR i had on otg but that flashed and after it i just tried viperos and it flashed just fine, I know it's a dirty flashed but wiped twice, will i be experiencing issues? )

Is it me or coming from MIUI dpi is very strange? I feel like Rom is not using full potential of mi mix display ,navibar and status bar are bigger maybe I'll get used to it over time

Love the Rom no lags so far, at first launcher seemed odd to me but when I saw the customizability of it, it's best so far

Can anyone tell me how to get display color profiles? Something saturated and punchier like Chinese MIUI ?

Amazing Rom many thanks dude

I went into MIUI 9. Now I'm back on Viper OS, but after restore my backup, it feels some random lags. I am considering a clean flash. Even the fingerprint sensor unlocking, is now like other LOS based Roms. Any suggestions instead clean flash?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 954wrecker:
Dirty flash and see if it goes back to normal. I've found with this phone everytime I restore a backup in TWRP that is the only way to solve the issue. It's happened on every single ROM and I've tried them all and no matter how smooth it was when I did the backup it's always garbage right after I restore UNLESS I dirty flash the ROM after restoring the backup.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] albertoduqe:
Never had those issues on dpi. Probably due to dirty flashing...

What's the assert failed xiaomi.verify_modem 2007 smth smth error 7

It happened when I was flashing ViperOS from Chinese MIUI 8.5 via TWRP

I did format data then followed with installation? Or was I suppose to WIPE data not FORMAT it? anyways after that when I chose install zip i got the aforementioned error7 i believe it has something to do with old modem firmware?

When i flashed RR it worked fine then i tried ViperOS it flashed fine

Now I believe I'm getting lower signals compared to MIUI and sometimes texts take a while in sending on SIM 1 or it could be network

Anywho how do I perform a clean flash by avoiding error7 kindly help it will be appreciated thanks
