Hello!

Thank guys for this very good rom! The best project I've tried.

I'm on build of september 22 facing some problems.

-After updating , on the boot the rom it showed the Miui pic and the phone went off. I tried go into recovery several times without luck and only when I plugged the phone to the computer, which didn't recognized it, could go into TWRP. So, I flashed again the build and then the Nanomod patch(https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928), as I don't use gapps even G. P. Services, and that resolved the problem.

-Frecuent contacts can't be deleted from the list. I tried one by one and all at once.

-Videocam doesn't record with flash. Also front and rear camera show the first frame.

It happens with stock cam. and Open Camera.

I know, 'll try the latest build when I can but maybe still won't fix the bugs and logcat and dmesg help.

¡Saludos!

I just tried, it works as it should for me, powered off waited 10,15s and plugged charger, phone went to the black white battery charging screen (wish I could change that screen, miui has a nicer one) charged 20%, unplugged and powered on phone, held the button >5s
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Daks023:
I was helping a man with a problem and gave him proper advice, also its your choice to use rom full of bugs. For your information on my previous Redmi Note 4g i used custom rom that had zero bugs and camera same as in Miui so your argument is invalid. Custom roms without bugs are reality its only problem for our device we still dont have bugless custom roms. Its because of people like you that developers settle with bugs and move on without fixing them cause people like you never complain and attack people who talk about bugs on this forum. Only way to improve custom rom is to report every single bug it has and when that bug is fixed we stop reporting it. So until camera gets fixed and other bugs im not going to name , me and people like me will come here and post reports or redirect people to use miui. Cheers random simple minded stranger.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wasimsiwan007:
i think people know what miui is!! report bugs if u find but u have to be calm

nd plx don't spam in dev thread u should create ur own thread where u tell others to use miui its not a good place got it?? Hmc
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TeamMex:
but is not necessary report the same crap every post.

one time its ok not every minute.

and every post :/

I working on this device since one and half month fix bugs take time.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lscambo13:
Thank you the response. it's weird, could it be caused by substratum/theme?

Anyone else please check yours, maybe it depends upon the board type.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TeamMex:
nah i dont want to write more sepolicy to miui Healthd xd
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] m sakett:
let me repfrase... xda are for advanced ppl who are interested in the PROCESS of the custom development... so if you wan na be all stock then be some thanking machine at mi forums! not a headache to the dev who trying so hard bring up the name of xda!
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jmmigo:
before you come to save our device, he (Daks023) once said will sell his device. xD
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Falcon_fan:
Exactly! :svetius:

The fun is in participating in the process of development in whatever capacity one can.

If somebody wants a ready made fully stable custom ROM straightaway, XDA may not be the right place.

Cheers!

Can we get blur status blur background on this ROM?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TeamMex:
No, from rom settings no.

You need to use some app or something like that.

Blur only in lockscreen(option inside security).
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bekcicandrej:
Awww, but it would be so fancy xD kidding, who cares about powered off charging screen.

[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vipulawtani:
Your post for request is also irritating..teammex has already done so much.. There is a time for everything..teammex started Oreo and now there is no doubt next phase of custom rom development (android 8 roms)has started. Other developers will also jump in and we will get stable Oreo after some time.. Wait for that before making such stupid and useless requests..
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] benteakh:

Rom runs smoothly and is very well optimised in power consumption matters. So, congrats!

One issue I noticed is (not even sure if it is bug)

When using pixel luncher on last left screen are news. On MM based rom I could swipe them out of this tab to mark them as red. Now i don't see any way to mark them as red.

Did anybody noticed this issue?

No possible delete frecuent contacts on calls app.

I also couldn't find the option which shows voltage, etc. while charging. I guess that you, [MENTION=4403780]TeamMex[/MENTION], decided to take it out. Btw, it never worked for me.

Wow.

I just went OTA from Sep22nd to Sep30th version. The update was completed. But the phone wont reboot after 'MI' screen.

Now my phone is dead, meaning I have to press power for 20sec before 'MI' screen comes up for a few seconds before the screen goes black - and: nothing.

Can't even enter TWRP.

Phone was charged over 50%.

Any clues how to save my phone and keep my installed apps and data save?

And why would the OTA mess up the phone like that in the first place?

Thankful for any clues! Cheers!

Frustrated,

Well, the Sep30th-OTA has 'killed' everything! I can't enter TWRP nor FastBoot-Maintainance mode...

Again, [MENTION=4403780]TeamMex[/MENTION] , how could that happen? Your OTA (Sep22nd -> Sep30th) bricking a phone?

:(

raimerik
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TeamMex:
user problem not OTA issues, I test all before sending OTA or any notifications.

Force bootloader then flash TWRP again or fastboot boot twrpnameofyourimage.img
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] raimerik:
Seriously? That's your way dealing with feedback?

1) I got your OTA-notification for Sep30th

2) I hit 'download'

3) Afterwards I hit 'press here for update'

4) I watched your updatedoing its thing in TWRP

5) After that the phone never made it past the 'MI' logo but turned off the screen...

That's a 'user problem'?

BTW, your OTA always had the problem of offering the already installed version again as available 'update'...

So just take my bad experience as feedback to look into instead of blaming 'user problems'...

Ever wonder why you're the only user moaning about OTA here?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Falcon_fan:
Personally, I consider OTA update as an optional luxury, especially when the ROM is in development stage.

Please try downloading the full file and dirty/clean flash using the latest TWRP 3.1.1..

No Problems here.

I personally always recommend Clean flashed to avoid issues
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crazy Tweaks:
It happened to me too but I was not crying because of that XD

Do following steps-

1. Press and hold power+vol - buttons, until fastboot mode open.

2. Do step 1 in fastboot mode, fastboot mode open again.

3. Now press and hold all 3 buttons to enter into recovery mode. :/

This method works for me that time.

And its not OTA issue :) I had beacon kernel and some others crap that time which might have broken this :P got this issue once :P but not OTA fault :) hope it works for you :D
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TeamMex:
1.-I never had that issue and other's people have the same app for update the rom(moto z play, moto G,G2,G3,G4/plus, Xiaomi Redmi note 3/pro , Xiaomi Redmi note 4/x,Moto X 2013 to name a few), and LAND is the only crap with crying boys if I tell us about user problem OMG or some other crap.

Normally when some app gives you problems you do not use it anymore, if you give problem the updater you can go and freeze the app with titaniumbackup or simply removing it from the system and not use it anymore.

2.-I can bet you had a problem with Magisk failing to patch your kernel but I doubt you even paid attention.

Extract the recovery.log and you can see it. (if magisk fails ,yes this is a user problem Because you just did not check the error log the rom does not start and it's my fault.)

90% of the time it is a mistake of the user who gets angry when you tell the truth, the other 10% is a software failure doing his "work"

I have a lot of work to go right now and check the ****ing updates application, I do not work only in the xiaomi redmi 3s I work in other's more, which need my attention too.

3.-If the rom had a single problem when "updating" I would not even install anything, since I would say that it is corrupt.

4.- Agarra la onda carnal(chill out), if the app have "always " showing updates then you can do it better cool go and send the patch, you know how to find my git.

5.-Also I hope you understand, I developed the rom, the device tree, some apps that come in it.

It's not like it's something soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy

(Here is the moment where someone will say "we do not need you", clear after I did all the work :D

And yes, I'm annoying how you can notice it in what I wrote. )

Have a good day or night or whatever.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] raimerik:
Hi Crazy Tweaks!

I wouldn't say that reporting the same incident qualifies as 'crying'.

Instead it would have helped others who come across the same problem (who won't report them here with others being rather condescending: 'moaning', 'crying', 'too much talk - give log' (from a bricked phone?!)...

So unfortunately your help came too late as I had to 'try-and-error' it for a while by myself (and your 2nd step is not necessary...)

So others who get stuck in 'MI'-logo and black screen (after pressing POWER for 13 seconds) and can't enter TWRP (!) - do it like this:

1) Hold POWER + VolumeDOWN for 13 seconds

2) FastBoot Screen appears

3) Hold POWER + VolumeDOWN + VolumeUP for 13 seconds (releasing POWER after 'MI' appears!)

4) You are back in TWRP

In my old school understanding of a community it's about error reporting and helping others to resolve problems.

Not much solution orientation besides you an amnher.

I'm recovery-flashing custom ROMs since 2010. Never have been a FastBoot-flasher.

So I'm not tweaking anything (beacon kernel?) but enjoy a developed custom ROM as a daily driver. OTA is perfect for that! XPerience is great because of that!

I don't even like ROOT and had TWRP set to 'keep system read only' (or similar)...

So- no - I just had TWRP 3.1.1 and a clean install of XPerience on my phone and OTA bricked it updating Sep22nd to Sep30th.

And -yes- this is a ROM development and errors can happen, but what's maddening is reporting the errors (!) to prevent (!) others bricking their phone and finding solutions (!) to get rid of the errors (!), is a developer who says 'User problem' to an AUTOMATED OTA-process of his ROM.

Not helpful to say the least. Really.
