That doesn't look like a smart cover. So you can't use it to turn screen on/off by opening and closing the cover.

You have a systemless xposed that you can install with magisk and then use gravity box with it.

TWRP Asking for password

Hello Sir,

I am a new user.Yesterday I flashed Resurrection Remix Official version by latest TWRP 3.2.1-2 for Oreo.I followed YouTube guide by Dhananjay Bhosale except that I didn't flash gapps. After flashing the ROM I have observed that

1. Whenever I shut down the phone and start again, boot animation continues.The phone does not boot. Then I press power+ vol up to go to recovery and reboot system from TWRP. Only then ROM boots up.

2.When I pressed power+ vol up for recovery mode,TWRP screen asks for password for decryption.I enter lock screen password and it accepts.But my question is how can I remove this encryption screen.

3.Gcam force closes.Though I flashed magisk and camera2api module.Only I didnt flash gapps.Is it the reason?

Dear Learned friends plz help me to solve these 3 issues.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Hi,

Resurrection remix thread, first post, has some clear guides how to overcome the problems you are facing. Follow them.

Flash gapps and magisk to avoid boot problems.

Okay, this might be a really dumb question but does unlocking the bootloader wipes everything in the internal memory? I had Xiaomi phones but they run MIUI and unlocking them doesn't wipe anything so I kinda need some confirmation on this

why most custom roms are not possible to update via OTA?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ThiagoACbr:
Hi everyone!

Recently my device started to automatically open apps just after updating them. For example, if I've Facebook app updating in Playstore, when the update finishes, the app will auto open instantly, even if I'm working in another app (like typing this message). When the update list is big, this problem get really bad.

I've been looking for any suggestions in internet. I found one that suggest go to Playstore app and uninstall all updates and wait for update again. Doesn't work.

So, please, anyone knows what I can do to solve this problem?

My mi a1 device is running Android Oreo 8.0.0 without root.

Heys. I have a question. I'm currently on stock ROM, flashed Franco kernel. If I want to change to another kernel, say void or something else, should I dirty flash it or reflash stock ROM and then freshly flash the new kernel? Is it safe to dirty flash kernels?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] upilguebu:
You can simply dirty flash the ROM. Just use miflashtool and flash with save user data. Like in this thread https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/mi-a1-monthly-updates-t3750419 that varben made too, on "If your phone fails to apply OTA update because of rooting, flashing twrp and other mods to the system:" section you can simply follow it. I did this and no issues at all :D
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] LouisMuruu:
Heys! Thanks for the reply! But what I meant was, I already have custom kernel installed. And I'm planning to try another custom kernel. So, am I suppose to just dirty flash the other kernel? Or do I have to restore back to stock, then flash the kernel?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] upilguebu:
what about to clear data google playstore services? you can do it at settings>apps and find any google playstore services and clear the data and cache

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Ah i see, I suggest that you have to restore it back to stock and flash the custom kernel that you want to avoid any issues. Sometimes if dirty flashed, issues like wifi not working or something else appeared.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
No, I was generally speaking... I have used many custom kernel in the past, I recommend Franco for you.

Looks like it is for beta users atm.

Are you flashing or booting with the patched boot.img? You should flash it.

Download the full stock march update and use miflash tool to update. Select save userdata within miflash tool.

That fixed the problem haha, thanks!

Best custom rom with good battery backup?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
I'm on Validus OS, and it doesn't have that delay.

There's no thing like "best custom rom". All you will receive is biased and subjective answers. You should find yourself what's best for YOU!

Good battery backup? Again, it depends on individual usage. With my usage I get pretty much the same battery life with any custom rom i tried. Validus gives me around 8 hours of SOT, all stock no mods. Again, this is personal with my usage. You may or may not have the same results.

I hope this helps.

Noob question before I create a new thread explaining how to increase the volume (trust me, many friends here experienced the same issue and I finally stumbled with an easy solution):

How do you call the weak speaker at the top (the one used for calls holding the phone near your ear)?

I'm guessing "ear-speaker" or "ear speaker" but it doesn't fully convince me. [SFMBE].

It's ear speaker or sometime earpiece.

Cannot update Mi A1

Dear all,

I bought Mi A1 in Nov'17 and it had Android N then. Update to O till Jan security patch as soon as the updates were available.

Later I tried to enable Camera 2 API using flex1911's method but failed due to some reason. later I was unable to update to Feb security patch. It showed "installation error". then I rooted to magisk with mi a1 tool of AriadneAM & everything was working fine.

Now when the April update came, I decided to unroot. So i flashed stock ROM (flashed all) & relocked bootloader using mi a1 tool.

Then tried to update. OTA was downloaded and after installing part 1 it again showed "installation error". What can I do to return back to normal update cycle? Kindly help with detailed steps.

NB: Should i post this as a seperate thread or in some other thread? PLS guide.

Flash the latest stock rom (April security patch) using miflash tool it will solve the problem. It's happening on all roms when trying to go stock again. April patches have caused some overlay issues when trying to go stock again with security patches March and before which is causing wifi connecting issues.

Sorry do u have link to download april security patch coz i download the last stock rom and after i update it throw my mobile data to april patch but it is not working my wifi so i back again to fckn rr rom
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Bot96:
I think stable roms available at mi site gets updated every 2 months. Feb version was available at the site. So, it should be replaced by April version this time. It would take some time though for April version of the rom to be available at the site.

Once available, flash the rom using miflash tool. Btw Going back to RR solved the issue?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] hnkotnis:
You can flash the firmware using fastboot.

First you need drivers for device which you can get from Universal adb drivers.

Setup fastboot if you already haven't. Minimal adb from xda is the best choice.

Extract the firmware file you downloaded. There will be several batch files and a folder named images. Copy/move them to adb folder if you don't have adb defined as PATH.

WARNING - DO NOT TOUCH FLASH_FACTORY.BAT I REPEAT DO NOT TOUCH FLASH_FACTORY. BAT. IT WILL WIPE IMEI OF YOUR PHONE.

Shut down phone, put in fastboot mode by holding Vol - and Power button. Connect USB and setup drivers if PC doesn't detect Android bootloader interface device.

Run any one following batch files as you wish -

flash_all.bat – Flash new ROM with full data wipe, bootloader state unchanged.

flash_all_lock.bat – Flash new ROM with full data wipe and bootloader is locked.

flash_all_except_storage.bat – Flash new ROM and save all personal data on your phone, bootloader is locked.

flash_all_lock_crc.bat – Flash new ROM with full data wipe, lock bootloader and encrypt data partition.
