I hate it when people do this because it usually doesn't solve the problem but hey ... today I'll be that guy: Have a look at Evie. I've been a long time Nova Launcher user but I feel it just might have become too popular, trying to please the large fan base made it too customizable which, ironically, made it too bloated IMHO.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ShallowDroid:
Status bar disappears

In Nova Launcher settings in Look and feel are 3 settings for "Notification Bar".

This ought to get me the bar: Show notification bar=on

This makes the bar go away: Show notification bar=off

Restarting Nova seems to have restored it..for now. A reboot didn't...go figure.

I use Nova launcher for the grids for icons. The default icon spacing is too far apart. I want my app drawer to be very compact. I don't want the google search bar EVER. Otherwise, I don't care about its other features.

Hello there. I use magisk to activate hal3 api2 on my phone. Apart from that, I do not want to use magisk. Is the api2 active in the new build? Or should I activate it myself? Because I do not want to make my phone root if it is active.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ShallowDroid:
Thanks for the Evie tip! I nuked Nova and switched. I was pretty much thinking the smae thing about Nova, but didn't like any of the other launchers. I'm minimalist in my launcher needs.

20180710 caps charging current to 1000 mA while screen on, which is even a bit lower than my legacy OnePlus One phone (while screen on). Battery temperature 41 degs, room temp 24.6 degs with air conditioner on.

When installing the 20180710 LOS, I end up in a boot loop. Going back to 20180703 is possible without boot loop.

TWRP 3.2.2 with treble support is installed, also the latest firmware (fw_sagit_miui_MI6_8.7.12_7fd01aa4f8_8.0.zip). I also have Magisk 16.6 installed.

Clearing cache/dalvik doesn't help.

Is there a way to upgrade to 20180710 LOS without formatting data?

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

I got 20180710 working now after uninstalling Magisk and installing a treble enabled Magisk Version.

Few months ago, I solved the Internet connection issue of China Telecom by swapping the SIM cards slots after reboot every time.

But in 0710 build, new issue about China Telecom was found. It's still available to get Internet connected by swapping two SIMs. But this time, Calling and SMS of China Telecom are corrupted.

https://imgur.com/a/4iF6f5Z

As you see, I have already connected to Internet, but SMS app keeps saying No connection. Calling as well.

In SIM info, the things are getting crazier. It says Out of Signal but Connected (to the Internet) at the same time! In a nutshell, I can only use Internet but none of other functions of a normal phone like calling and messaging with this CT SIM card!

I'm not at home and don't have computer recently, I'll get you a logcat ASAP.

Yeah, I wiped all the caches, formatted data, then installed the firmware, then the rom, then gapps. When that didn't work, I did it all again, without gapps, same problem.

It starts once, I see a brief flash of an 'Android' logo, and then it reboots to TWRP.

Try to format data once again after installing gapps. Note that you need a format data exactly, not just wipe.

Hello, I did the last build without installing the firmware. There is no difference. What exactly does the firmware do?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dobsgw:
You can't delete the firmware from the device so it will be using whatever was there before flashing the ROM.

Firmware just controls stuff like modems such as WiFi or mobile network, Bluetooth etc etc

Its recommended to update periodically to retain functionality. Occasionally features will break without updating the firmware but this doesn't occur often

I had no problem whatsoever to dirty flash the new, treble supported rom (over the old non treble supported rom). How? I will tell you (this is the right order to do it..otherwise you will get hickups along the way!):

-install shavs img of twrp with twrp app (give root permissions!)

-reboot to recovery

-install latest global firmware (developers) within twrp

-reboot to recovery

-install magisk 16.6

-reboot system

-reboot to recovery again

-install the newest rom

-install the gapps of your choosing (arm64, android 8.1)

-wipe dalvik/cache

-reboot system

Succes!

Everything works smooth as butter.

Good luck!

1)When I use China Telecom SIM ,it can't use CT mobile data.So first I disable sim slot1(ct), and then enable it. Then the ct mobile data can use.（My sim slot1 is China Telecom,slot2 is CMCC）

Just switched to the latest nightly LOS since yesterday's Pixel Experience update sent my Mi6 into a bootloop.

Everything seems to be working fine, except I cannot wake up the phone pressing the Home button. Double tap on the screen still works, but it's not quite the same.

Settings don't seem to allow assigning a single press on the Home button to anything but to answer a call, or maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for any and all input.

In my experience, Magisk modules don't do ****. After editing the build.prop manually, everything is working fine. You might want to get the latest BSG build since he's been targeting Mi6 specifically.

This build, for instance, works fine for me: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog188/

[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wonderfulme:
Remove all app data, restart the cam app. That's basically the rule of thumb for every GCam clone out there. Reason I linked you this particular build, it works out of the box.

You don't have to choose "Pixel" or "Nexus 6P", or anything. Which was usually the case. Reboot your phone, if need be.

Had the same problem with the 20180710 version, 20180703 was fine but currently I have no complaints with 20180717. What I did though in this last nightly was to disable "Enhance 4G LTE Mode" in Settings> Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Advanced and disable "Mobile data always Active" in Settings> System> Developer Options .

For comparison reasons, after 48h I still had 20% battery left with 4h SOT, Wifi&BT always on and 30 mins phone calls plus really crappy phone signal reception most of this time.

Edit: Dirty flashed all those versions, I have no doubt if I started fresh these results would be even better, honestly battery life in LOS is much better than MIUI.

Can you turn on the display (bring it out of its sleep mode) with the home button? If so, how?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] alasulumurat:
You do not have to write a new line. It's already attached to the last build.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Thorst1:
Sure, but only if you use fingerprint authentication.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lazarost:
Pressing the button once does not turn on the display. You have to correctly unlock with the fingerprint for the screen to turn on.

I can see it either way; on the one hand you minimize erroneous wakes which cost battery life, but on the other you lose some functionality.

It should probably be an option where you can change the behavior if there isn't any hardware limitations for that (have no idea if a single press turned on the screen before either in LOS or MIUI).

Personally I find D2TW much more deliberate and precise, instead of fumbling for my phone inside a pocket and having the screen turn on for no reason.

I don't even have a PIN code, much less my fingerprint registered. I realize some people actually store their credit card information in their phones. Make that an option, how hard could it be. Some of us use it to call their wife occasionally and read them Telegram channels, not pay for random stuff.

I just want to be able to hit the home button while half asleep and see the time like I used to. Is that too much to ask?

From my experience, it doesn't just randomly turn on while being in a bag and/or jeans pocket.

That was an option in Pixel Experience. Not sure why LOS decided to ditch it altogether.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lazarost:
You should give the double tap to wake feature in "Settings>Display>Advanced> Tap to Wake" a chance. I think it will suit you just as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wonderfulme:
That's what I'm currently using and it's not entirely convenient when you wake up at 4am due to your cats running around and generally being a nuissance.

Why not just leave the option to "wake up" the phone with the press of a "Home" button. I mean, you don't like it, you disable it. How hard is that.

I really do appreciate the work spent on that ROM, I do. But it's one of those little things that cost nothing and would make someone happy (I'm sure I'm not alone). With no negative feedback whatsoever.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Cozzmy13:
I've just noticed it too. Do you have any idea when this started happening?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] khanjui:
It's not using it for me, try to look it carefully and see if the OIS is working. Because the secondary camera doesn't have OIS. And disable "Video stabilization" from GCAM, it makes it zoomed a bit more. (EIS?)
[Xiaomi Mi 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lazarost:
It doesn't use the secondary camera, it just crops (zooms?) the image a bit, so as to stabilize the video.

You can check it by putting your finger in front of the secondary camera, it still uses the main one just fine.

Also I've tried that version of gcam you linked, but it crashes every time. I have gapps installed.

It's supposed to be /system/build.prop, not /vendor/build.prop. Check the results with Camera2 Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camera2.test&hl=en)
