I just installed the 8.1 ota July update (updating from 8.0) and re-rooted it with Magisk. Now half of my installed apps don't work anymore, although I got no errors during update or root. Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
What do you mean by "don't work anymore"?

How did you flash the ota? In the normal way, through your phone? Or in some other fancy way? :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] lutziferien:
Thanks for asking.

I meant they don't start.

I unistalled Magisk with "restoring images" option, didn't reboot, installed the OTA update as it came over phone & and reinstalled Magisk while update was in phase 2. (seen in "https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654")

I already solved the problem the hard way: flashed 8.0 stock image, updated to 8.1 OTA and rooted with Magisk and the July boot_image. Involuntarily wiped all data, too... :(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Oh no!

So, how are things now?

Guys my question is related to fast charging in general.

Is this a valid equation ?? :)

Fast charge = fast drain

Does using the fast charge make the battery drain faster as opposed to letting the phone fully charge at normal speed?

In this i m talking in terms of fast charging mechanism incorporated by certain custom kernels.

I think we misunderstood each other. Some older dual sim phones have a sim slot which cannot support 3G or 4G. Only 1 slot can support 4G in those phones even in standby mode with no calls and no data connection. I thought you were referring to that issue.

I cannot share my phone's internet to any other device after latest update

Hello guys, I am using Mi A1 with Android 8.1.0. I updated my phone's system this morning and now I cannot share my mobile phone's internet to any other device (laptop, phone) but I can connect the devices to my phone's wifi hotspot. Normally, I am using my phone's internet on my laptop by creating a wifi hotspot from my phone, but after updating my phone I cannot access to the internet with my laptop through the hotspot so I tried usb tethering and it also doesn't work. My carrier's 4G is just fine on my phone. The problem only happens when sharing to other devices. Please help me. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm having a trouble with OTA Updates, My phone is currently rooted (May security patch)

last month i attempt to install OTA (From May to June) through the guide provided in the MiA1 Root thread

and i did every step in that method but my phone got stuck in a bootloop, now i want to download and install July OTA Update but I'm afraid the same problem will occur once again, like i said i did every step

Magisk>uninstall>restore images> i waited for the OTA installation process to reach Step 2>then i went back to magisk and and installed To second Slot (After OTA)

After the last step the phone was stuck in a bootloop

can anyone tell me if there's a another method,

Thanks.

So i was trying to install GCam on my Mi A1, with july security patch and it wiped my data (i didn't went all the way, just unlocked bc when it unlocked the bootloader my phone wasn't getting reconized by my pc), but it says that the bootloader is unlocked, can i install GCam? Or no?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] YoungRandyy:
yes the bootloader is unlocked
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
That's the reason why the device shows as uncertified.

You will need to lock bootloader for it to show certified.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] YoungRandyy:
oh ok thnks for the info..i really appreciate it..so im on latest 8.1 update with july security patches..if i locked the bl via CMD it'll reset the phone right?

Yes, you can relock the phone provided you habe not modified the system in any way.

It will reset the phone.

Is there a way to change custom roms without loosing data?

Hi,

I have been using Treble RR and now got bored of it so I downloaded GSI of DOT OS and flashed it and here comes the tricky part I want to keep all the data from RR,I have a complete nandroid backup from RR so I restored only data partition but when booting it says com.phone.google stopped continuously and reboots back to TWRP!! Any Advice??
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
I don't have a definite answer. It has many implications. There's no guarantee that ROMs are compatible. One scenario comes to my mind is this: an encrypted ROM and an unencrypted one. The data can't be interchangeable.

Bottom line: don't restore data from nandroid. Try to backup only the important data for specific apps with some reputable software or online. That's your best option.

So I would say, go back to RR, restore data, change the backup method and move on to another rom.

I hope this helps a bit.

Best ROM available

Hi! I have my A1 a little time ago, I want to know which ROM you consider is the best in this moment and why... Thanks in advance, any reply is appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] findrome:
What are you looking for in a rom? I like stock Android, but I don't like the bugs in current stock and I don't really care for more features than are prudent or useful (for me). So I stick with Pixel Experience for that reason. Some like highly customizable ROMs. ROMs optimized for gaming. There's literally a rom for every taste. Are you asking about most stable? Read through the threads for yourself and make an educated decision, or try several until you land on one you like.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] thegutterpoet:
sloth slow down!

I have greatly enjoyed my mi a1 since purchasing at the turn of the year. Yesterday however, during a rather hot day here in Brighton (UK - where I am visiting) the phone began to slow down dramatically. The flat where I am staying was probably stuck at 30+C for most the afternoon and evening.

The camera virtually slowed to a halt, and the thing just became sloth in all functions. I turned it off and let it cool down overnight but the same bothers were present this morning. So I tried a factory reset and this has speeded things up, though the camera and everything else is still much, much slower than usual. Better than yesterday but definitely still not right.

If a factory reset and wipe didnt solve the issue fully, is it hardware? Though it has improved so assume the hardware is okay? Or could the battery have been mangled in some way?

COuld flashing the ROM with something else help? Though this seems tricky with my macbook pro?

Any assistance is helpful. Its mainly the camera sloth which is an issue as I am on holiday with my beloved and the little chap and seek to record the adventures.

Cheers,

Daniel

Also...I may have updated something yesterday before these problems appeared.

Hello guys. I want to recover some photos I have taken from my device before I update to 8.1

I try some apps I found but they need root access. Can I do that without rooting my device?

The photos was saved at the internal storage of the phone. (I dont have a sd card).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kudos1uk:
The easiest way would be to turn sync on in Google photos so your photos are automatically uploaded to Google drive.

Otherwise you can open Explorer, navigate to and select all the photos you want to save then press send, choose a cloud storage where to send them (drive, dropbox etc).

Updating should not delete your photos btw, I assume you will just do an OTA update?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] lagos911:
Yeah I hard reset the device and lose them. Is there is any way I can use recuba with the insternal storage or something else to recover? Google photos was sync OFF.

I recently bought a A2 (I know this is A1 forum) 32GB version. My issue is default free internal memory is about 17GB only!!!.System has taken almost 10GB!. I've used 32GB phones before (pixel xl) and the free internal memory I've seen is 22GB. So what's with Xiaomi devices or is this only for Android One series?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] thegutterpoet:
Maybe a security update. Either way the phone is now, after 2-3 factory reset with wipe then reinstall, a shadow of its former self. It works, but applications take an age to open, the camera often 30-60 seconds, then it shudders from image to image as if taking a snapshot then moving the viewfinder. All applications are slow. The cpu and battery are not overheating, i have checked with a variety of apps.

It seems that the hardware has suffered some fault to slow the thing down horridly?

I will peek for the box it came in as had a warranty with the deal i got on ebay, which i hope remains active, else it seems now close to too slow to use. I am instead using an old iphone of my lady's friend which is much quicker and works!

I thought that by installing a custom ROM I could confirm if the hardware was to blame or the software. Yet installing a custom ROM with my macbook seems complicated.

If you use Magisk as root method, it doesn't affect the updates, the only problem is that you may need to flash Magisk again after an OTA.

I have faced an issue.

Yesterday i dirty flashed a custom rom. but i forgot how to dirty flash. i just simply flashed the rom and restarted the phone. it was mandatory to flash custom recovery and gapps after flashing a rom dirtily or normally. but i didn't. After the reboot completed, i remembered that i didn't flashed the twrp and gapps. So, i go back recovery mod, guessed i could flash twrp now. But i didn't see any custom recovery on my phone. But the phone boots, and i can use the phone. Still, i'm on that phone, while i'm typing this comment. i didn't lost my data cause i flashed dirtily. But the problem is, as i didn't flashed gapps or magisk (for root access), now i can't use google apps like, play store, and more. As i don't have root access on my phone so, i can't run flasify, to flash custom recovery. neither i can run other apps that need root. As i didn't flash custom recovery, now i can't flash gapps, magisk and whatever that needs a custom recovery.

I told some rom porter about the matter. They told me to flash stock rom. So, i was trying to flash stock rom. but flashing stock rom requires a fastboot mode. But my fastboot logo doesn't appear and it's blank. I told this to a rom porter. But he said, He doesn't know about that and he can't help.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] barrack1:
The MiA1 dual camera is not a a fake feature, the 2nd camera uses a 2x telephoto lens.

Android 8 lowered up the headphone volume so high impedance headphones cannot be used anymore but it reduces the hissing sound that was on v7.x. And the spirit2 fm radio app doesn't work on Oreo but the lollipop version of that app works (with root).

I'm having a rather unique problem with my the Micro SD card I installed.

I can format it as internal storage or portable and it won't pop up for file managers or my computer.

This means I can't manually move files to it all.

Despite that when it's internal storage I can move apps to it and it adds new apps to it by default.

Which is why my initial assumption that the SD card is broken seems to be wrong.

I could go to move all and move everything it can on, but it's a fairly slow SD card so I'm hoping to mainly put music, videos and any pictures on there.

I worry about it moving the apps that I want to keep in internal storage for speed over.
