Generally any newer 8.1 arm64 alternative to openGapps, as they still only have 8.0 ready.

I would personally use mind the gapps.

So far they've been working great on any Oreo 8.1 ROM.

Only thing:

Sometimes the gapps assistant asks for finishing it although you've done it already. You can click through the few pages once again in that case, then this is gone.

Best Kernel for this ROM???

Prefer Battery backup..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
It's relative, you don't wanna hear that probably, but there is no best.

An example:

You prefer battery backup, alright .

Take three kernels k1, k2, k3 and three people p1, p2, p3.

k1 is known to drain like nothing in deep sleep, but causes mobile drain in some regions.

k2 consumes way more when idling than k1, but on the other hand, noone reported it to drain a lot of battery when on mobile data.

k3 is reported to not having draining issues at all.

p1 now lives in a region where the drain is reported to be bad on k1.

p2 doesn't live in such a region, but mainly uses his phone at home anyway, where he has wifi (notice we don't know anything about wifi drain).

p3 is an excessive user, who is outside all day long

Question: Who owns the fish? :highfive:

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lokesh.acm:
When I switch back to an app that's out of memory then sometimes the app just puts up a black screen instead of reloading. Will grab log next time:good:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] NicolasMesaH:
Hello.

Why the GPU is always at 401MHz? The lowest speed is 133MHz, and it slowdown when the screen is touched and increases again when idle. It only overheat the phone and drain the battery.

What we do to change this? I test with Kernel apps (like Kernel adiutor) but not change.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lokesh.acm:
I flashed su 2.82 to get root. When opened kernel audiutor for the first time it didn't ask me for permission. Root access was just taken by the app. Is that how root access works in Oreo or what? Even other root apps didn't ask for my permission. I don't have su app installed maybe that's why?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Yes, you need some app to manage root requests using SU. Would install the app.

You can also go for Magisk. Flashing this one in twrp, Magisk Manager is auto-installed.

There you can perfectly control which apps get root manually, and you're also able to set the automated behaviour for new root requests.

This might be the complete same with the SU app, but I don't even know if I ever used SU on this phone, so I can only tell what Magisk does at the moment.

A definite plus for me in going with Magisk are several nice modules you can flash from within the manager.

For instance a youtube version without ads and with background playback functionality, dolby atmos and what not.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lokesh.acm:
Thanks for this information. I'll choose magisk. Now that I have flashed su. How to go to magisk? Re flash ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
On the SU xda thread I think there's an SU uninstaller.

But dirty flashing the ROM or flashing the ROMs boot.img will also do.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jgruar:
Same for me, also the little cpu is constantly around ~700MHz, even though the load is low. They don't drop down to 307 just like the GPU doesn't. I tried installing priima kernel and soda kernels but none will boot.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lokesh.acm:
Hi all. When I open about 12 -15 apps they are all visible in the recents initially but after some hours I go back to recents screen I will only be able to see about 5 or 6 apps. But the apps that are not visible in the recents are still in memory. Anyone else notice this?

This is an annoyance for me cause I set oom values too low and I usually swipe out a 'big' when I feel my phone trying hard to keep stuff in memory.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AC130PL:
It happens also in LOS 14.1 ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lokesh.acm:
Used to happen in nougat roms on Mi 4 too.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] .polki:
Same here. Unusual behaviour. Scrolling app drawer for example will let gpu clock drop to 133mhz but when I stop and it idles it pops back up to 401mhz. Observed using cpu Float. Though I don't seem to get the cpu issue just the gpu. I haven't played around with kernel tweaking or new kernels yet. Just leaving it for now

Testing it now, so far seems normal, a few minor bugs that don't affect usage:

- On Lock Screen, top left Mobile Vendor Name says "no available service", but it has

- Gallery App is a bit buggy.

- I won't make a full comment on battery because the build didn't have time to settle BUT I detect some drainage.

Other than that, everything is fine 👍

I faced a network issue,

I am using 2 sims

SIM 1 Vodafone 4G

SIM 2 Jio 4G

When I set the Default data SIM as Jio , I am able to make & receive calls on Jio, but on Vodafone only able to receive calls Whenever I am trying to call someone using Vodafone, it is saying "Call Ended" without even dialing the number.

I tried setting the Network type of Jio as 4G only and Vodafone as 3G/2G. But still I am not able to make calls using Vaodafone.

Can anyone please help.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
1700 mA isn't that little.

I guess it's regulated down a bit when the screen is on to prevent overheating.

I actually try to not use my phone at all when charging.

I don't use the phone either. Just checked how long it's taking to charge. Until 60% it used charge roughly 2%per min but lately it charges 1%per min. So I tried turning it off and charging and it charged fast! Anyway, will clean flash ROM and see.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lokesh.acm:
Yeah. Once you select wipe you get 2 options, 'advanced wipe' and 'format'

Select format data! And also check in 'mount' option if everything is mounted.

But i think formating will do the trick. If not just use mi flash and flash a global or dev rom.

Instructions for that will be online. Just google it. :good:

Maybe the proximity sensor is faulty.

Had a similar issue recently.

This fix from Arsenal solved it:

How to fix proximity sensor with persist backup:

1. Install zcx from here

2. Make backups (also from the /persist partition

3. Download persistBackup zip

4. Unzip

5. Copy files from 2017-12-24--09-41-04_xiaomi.eu_7.12.2

to the place where the previous persist backup was stored and replace the old ones with them.
