is this for redmi 4a???

For 4x
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mgkn:
First of all, Thanks for this. Please take a look at the following issues I found:

1. Please lower the config_backKillTimeout(in lineageos.platform) value, 2000 is a lot, its actually 2 seconds after long press.

2. USB debugging turns off after every boot. I even tried changing build.prop. Also "USB mode" changes to charging only every time I plug in the cable, this is very annoying. My best guess is that the setting(Developer options>Select USB Configuration) is not making any changes.

Hi all and Thx to Dev for this rom.

Just installed it yesterday and everything seems quite smooth. But 2 or 3 things could be done (if possible of course)

1- Unlocking with fingerprints is a bit laggy (not a big deal though...)

2- If you want to send a MMS you have to enable mobile data network (on stock Miui, even with Wifi and Data OFF you can send and receive MMS...wich is great when you don't have a lot of data in your suscribtion)

3- EAP Sim authentification for Wifi doesn't work (Wich is really a pain for me ;p) Any ,chance to have it working one day?

To be really true the items 2 and 3 don't work on most of custom roms. EAP Sim does work fine on lineage OS 15.1 for One Plus 5...

ANy way thx again

Hope you'll be able to fix ;p

Hi, hope this is the right thread. I am running 8.1 on an unlocked ATT LG G3 using a simple mobile SIM card (T mobile) I disabled ATT visual voicemail, and have a recent ROM version May 2018.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Itachi_konoha:
I did the dirty flash but settings section is a bit messed up.

Wifi is showing as missed call.

Crdroid settings showing as sim card.

It's functioning as expected just the titles are not what they should be.

I'll try a clean install and check if it appears there.

========= update ==========

I tried clean install and it failed to initialize. It does boot up but gets stuck at home screen with only the network icons showing in status bar along with battery icon. Rest is all black with no icons and clock. Buttons are not responsive or the system doesn't respond to the buttons.

Reverted back to the old build and everything is smooth now.

no deep sleep at all after certain time

I would like to report something I consider a kernel bug.

I came across this issue already with NOS and that was reason to switch to CRDroid - after a certain amount of time (in most cases approx. 6h) the phone refuses to go to deep sleep an stays on Awake (Screen off)-State, see screenshot of BBS attached.

The data from BBS must be correct because I indeed faced a much bigger battery drain when the phone is idle - which it is most of the time in my use case.

I have to add that BBS didn't show a bogus process or application that consumed a lot of CPU time or issued a lot of wakeups.

Only a reboot always resolved the problem for the time being, but after a certain time the problem occured again.

I had this issue already with CRDroid 4.3 and was able to solve it by switching to Gabriel kernel.

As v4.4 required a clean install I did so and encountered the very same problem. And also the solution was to switch to gabriel kernel.

So does anybody have an idea what causes this behaviour?

Thanks for the great work and hang on!

Hello Guys,

unlike the original miui it does not seems possible to enable ANT+ Support. In former times I realy liked it to update my Garmin Watch trough my Redmi 4x.

ANT+ Plugins Service

ANT Radio Service

ANT Tester (says it's compatible, but the main service isn't running because of failed "chip-firmware" )

Hi,

I think I just softbricked my phone by installing crdroid like this:

- Reboot to recovery redwolf treble

- Wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache

- Flash the latest build and gapps (mini)

- Flash magisk

- Reboot

-> only boots to fastboot.

pwr+vol_down -> fastboot

pwr+vol_up -> fastboot

pwr -> fastboot

I cant even turn it off...

can anybody help? is adb enabled by default?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sunil tsk:

Then flash treble magisk

I tried a few days for CrDroid. Battery consumption is very high!

The rest is doing pretty well.

However, I will move on to another version of the software.

When I had RR Nugat 585, the battery was very friendly. With that software I managed to use the phone for two days and the battery was consumed at a rate of 60-80%, while with this software I have the same consumption in a single day. :(

During the night, when the phone is not in use, the battery decreases very quickly !!!

I'll look for another ROM.

Hi everyone, I have a Nexus 6 that's rooted and flashed with Lineage OS and I am looking for some help. I'm not sure what I did but my gmail email app is no longer notifying me of incoming emails. I checked all of the notification settings I can think of and everything seems enabled and email sync is enabled as well under the phones account settings. When I open gmail my new emails are available to read but my Nexus 6 isn't telling me when they arrived on the lockscreen or statusbar.

I installed Google Inbox and sent some test emails to my account from another account and Inbox was notifying me immediately as I'd expect on my phone. I tried wiping my phone and starting from scratch multiple times with multiple roms just restoring apps from the cloud backup but I get the same results. I don't use Titanium Backup, I flash a clean rom, gapps, boot my device and restore from the a cloud backup from Google. I even tried uninstalling gmail from the play store and reinstalling it but nothing has worked.

Any thoughts or ideas to try???

Yup there was a similar thread for te Note 8 also. Probably just another case of confusion of sim unlock vs unlock bootloader. Most consumers don't even know what a bootloader is. It's not likely that Samsung will train low level reps about bootloaders, there's no reason to. When a rep hears unlocked they probably refer to sim lock. Many low level reps probably don't know what bootloaders are either.
