Hello and thanks for the confirmation that project FI is working. I will definitely try from scratch again and even possibly with duce's script (maybe if having a flashing issue on a slot).

Also, the only custom rom that I got FI to work on so far was lineage and is currently what I'm using.

It stays on android
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nezebilo:
Try wiping system before flashing. That's what worked for me
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xFirefly93:
It seems to be a issue with latest version of this ROM because it is stuck at the boot screen (with the fading white Android logo and the black background) and refuses to boot into the system :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] munchy_cool:
right above your post you have a comment saying it worked. i tested it for a day after i posted it here with no major issues.

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] munchy_cool:
something wrong with your wifi, worked fine for me on both this and Pie AquariOS.

are you rooted with magisk or any other mods?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] yyz71:
Nah just magisk.. I'll Flash again though thanks ?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] munchy_cool:
dont flash magisk this time. try without magisk and see if wifi works.

in my testing i never installed Magisk on either NOS or Aqua.

Ok brother will do thanks for the heads up ?

That worked, uninstalled magisk boom wifi on :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] munchy_cool:
Magisk is known to break Wifi on GSI Pie builds. Now on AOSP builds too.

I dont know how to fix that.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pinkmann:
Just installed on a fresh clean Pixel2 with this ROM , it's so smooth and responsive. I didn't install magisk though many people shared the same issue with wifi connection. Is it possible to change background color in "SETTINGS" from White to Black or lower the brightness? Because when I slide brightness to the left - its still bright at night (NIGHT MODE ON). But everything works fine

Great work !! Thanks to OP :good:
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] munchy_cool:
I will try to look into those issues.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] munchy_cool:

I set camera in 10MP mode and it's not working now, and I can't use app "touch" from jolla store.

Hi, I found some bugs, you mentioned GPS (network location working, I tested WhoGo maps and it's show close location), sensors and:

Low camera resolution, low maximum brightness (on sun I see nothing) and I can't do logcat with alien dalvik (I wrote to you in IRC channel). Torch is working fine, now I'm using system torch.

With latest update stock browser working fine.

I tested mobile data, sms, phone calls, wifi, camera (front, back), recording and playing it. All good :)

If you need any log or testing help just PM me or give instruction here. :D

I also wrote to MOD to move thread to development and it's happened.

Again thanks for work at this port.

or im build anbox from 0?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Kubino:
Many thanks for excellent port and Anbox :) But 3 things:

1) Will be camera fixed to use full resolution instead of only cca 2Mpx?

2) Can be enabled back button in Anbox?

3) In Anbox I installed Simple keyboard for input, but when I need something to write, it shows only keyboard and rest of app goes black so I don't see what I'm writing but when I click to enter or tap to the black, app shows back and normally works and register what I wrote. So how to get rid of the black overlay when is keyboard enabled? same behavior with hackers keyboard. I know that Anbox is experimental but do you have same issue?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] 0312birdzhang:
1) There will be an advance camera app in next sfos release

2) I tried, but anbox source code is toooooo huge, so with no lucky.

3) I have same issue, every alertbox can trigger this issue.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Bx16:
No android support, aliendalvik is closed software by Jolla, Anbox is still very buggy and unstable.

Facebook and messenger - use browser or sailbook app, Telegram - Depecher or Telegra'me apps. No whatsapp.

Daily? If you need android apps then no, if you can live with native Sailfish apps or fix anbox then yes. Im using SF 8 months on vince but sometimes when I need to drive car with maps Im booting Android 7.1 because dual boot SF/Android working quite good.

I don't need to install MIUI 9, i just flash This firmware and this recovery then i just reboot into the new recovery and do a Format data, type yes, i've got some error so i reboot the recovery again and format data again and this time with no errors, then i flash LOS 14 and reboot recovery, and finally flash the latest SailfishOS for vince

I think, the key is in format Data Partition (no wipe / factory reset)...

Which Redmi 5 is good?

Dear 0312birdzhang,

Thank you very much for porting SFOS to Xiaomi 5 series! :good:

I'm using Piggz 's 3.0.0.18 ROM for 1.5 years now on a Redmi Note 4 (mido) and would like to upgrade to a newer device + ROM.

My question is:

- WHICH Redmi 5 devices are good for this ROM, and which are NOT ?

https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sQuickSearch=yes&sName=xiaomi%205

I'm totally confused by now of these 13(+3) subtypes, because I've just bought a Redmi Note 5 Global (3/32) from Central Europe, and as it turns out:

- it has a Snapdragon 636 chip! (Instead of 625, as it should be, written as spec here ... ) :eek:

Will your ROM work on this device, or should I sell it and choose an other one? :confused:

Thank you very much!

Systems just see this like turn off phone so all your data is untouched and safe across reboots. Only wipe data or flash new zip (not kernel image like in this case) in recovery makes systems unconfigured :)
