[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jay_B:
Hi Guys. Sorry have been busy with personal life so didn't touch anything related to ROM development. Tried another solution today to make changes to the kernel for audio issue still the same. I am almost on the verge of giving up. Anyways this is my last Xiaomi device, when ever I change it will be some other brand but not Xiaomi. I can't wait for 2 months on a ****y MIUI stock till they unlock the bootloaders and I can wait till the phones life is over for Xiaomi to release sources.

Coming back to our phone I will be releasing the update for MSM shortly, testing it now with the SEP security patches.

cheers!

Hey man. Appreciate your efforts immensely so do not despair.

Also what's your view on this : should we install gzr gapps nano found in original post or the open gapps nano which are more up to date.

Thanks

You have done enough for this device. We appreciate your contribution to this device. Thanks for everything

Life comes first. These developments are just for timepass

If you comfortable stop working on oreo and concentrate on pie

I'm a fan of your work man, let us know which device you'll be working on next ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jay_B:
Thanks for the cheer guys..

You can use open GApps. I think I mentioned that long back. Anyways I am using opengapps now for a month or more no issues till now.

For the guy who mentioned a few post back that he has not seen me comment on the thread from the time it was released please check your eyes and if they are working please consult a doctor for additional treatment.

PS : No offence intended just pulling ur leg. =))
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KeepTriin:
What steps have you taken to diagnose that fast charging isn't working? My knowledge is limited, but searching this thread is a good start and there are only certain conditions when fast charging will take place. Are you testing under those conditions? Do you have the latest firmware? Have you tried a clean flash? ... If you can provide more detail, perhaps you'll get more feedback in return.

In-call volume seems to be a known issue iirc. I think the OP is still looking at this, patience. Or is your concern solely related to the speaker volume in-call?

For media, I'm using Ainur Sauron audio + Audio Modification Library + Viper FX. I think others have used Dolby, but search the thread for links and previous discussions. I haven't done any audiophile level analysis to definitively state that MIUI is better or worse, but I'm happy enough with what I've got.

Oh... And you do know that capitalisation is akin to shouting? ?

And yep. This ROM is awesome. ??
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Voidablazer:
Hey man, I am going to install msm today version 10, and in your previous post you said you are testing the new update for the rom to release it shortly.

By shortly do you mean today? So I know to flash the current version or wait a few hours for the next (so I don't dirty flash that)

Thanks :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jay_B:
Tomorrow for sure. will suggest to wait for a day.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Voidablazer:
Regarding the audio bug (in call volume). Is there any way I can help?

Either testing the sources of other xiaomi phones that are released officially for oreo, (phones with similar hardware might share similar code which gives the functionality we need)

Or finding a way to hack the kernel with a script which binds the hardware volume up and down keys to another script which will directly edit the volume gain values similar to kernel auditor?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jay_B:
well if you are good with kernel building I am all game. There's an issue with the audio drivers which I am not able to get fixed. So if you can please do. Help is always most welcome. Keep in mind no one from mido or Tissot will help.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Voidablazer:
MI A2 lite seems to use the same/compatible audio drivers with MI Max 2. And since it's oreo sources are released, I am thinking of trying to build a kernel using the audio drivers and config files found here

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Humanboeing:
I've installed this rom and run it for a couple of weeks. It's smooth and impressively customisable but few things things bug me and I can't find solutions: 1) charging seems dog slow - a whole night on charge and it only gets up to 77% whereas on the creaky old Lineage rom I had on before fast charging worked faultlessly. 2) Notifications from things like Ebay seem to come through as 'nearly white' font on white background and are illegible - & changing theme colours doesn't seems to change this. 3) lots of the stock set transparencies of overlay notification screens seem too high so that it's difficult to read because the background is too intrusive - & I can't find a setting to adjust transparency anywhere. Any ideas? Many thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hmswrth:
I'm guessing it's some error from the user end. Try clean flash. Check the instructions in the OP. I've been using this ROM for about 2 months now and I haven't had any of these issues. (:
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GEoMaNTiK:
I'll respond on my experience from using this ROM since its release...

1) Charging is super quick for me, no issues or slow downs at all

2) Yes, I've had the same problem as you've described, not from all apps but definitely the almost white font that I can't read.

3) Is what your describing in line with the eBay notification or another issue? The only app notification I've seen as an issue is from eBay.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Jay_B:

Once again, appreciate all of your work on the new update Jay_B.

Worth the re-setting up to go with a fresh install.

Works a treat and still the best custom ROM, by a long shot.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] beingtejas:
[MENTION=4479268]Jay_B[/MENTION], friend I installed the latest rom and its so so so awesome

Found two problems of you can attend that or give a solution to me

1) rotated camera In face unlock, and on the go also 90° rotated

2) the audio from earpiece is highly distorted, if you go above 70% volume it get highly distorted and seems like it may destroy the earpiece speaker

No other kernel, it's same that built In rom..

Clean installed.

Thank you for your hard work.. Thanks allot

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] avik735:
Been using this ROM since yesterday. The animation speed seemed awkwardly fast at the beginning. Changing the animator scale under Developer settings fixed that. Still exploring the different features of the ROM. I have a couple of questions and feature suggestions below -

1. Is it possible to change the system font colours? For example, when I start QuickPic, the names of the albums/folders are in purple, same with any toast messages. Is it possible to change this from purple to say, white? If it's not, then please add the feature if possible.

2. Love the screen off animation of CRT. I have always been fond of it and on a pre-lollipop time, I used to achieve it via an xposed module. Just to add to it, a vertical CRT animation would be awesome if can be added.

3. Not getting quick charge to work though. Getting the 5V-2A at the most. Is it working for anyone?

Keep up the good work Dev, the ROM is awesome.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jbmc83:
point 1 is a good one, ive noticed the same and wondered about it as well.

as for quick charging, give the rom 2-3 charging cycles to settle. in my case QC only showed up on the second cycle and reached full speed at the third.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeffhart4890:
Flashed the latest version today.. & it is even smoother than the earlier versions (Dont know how Jay B sir still keeps outdoing himself).

Everything working great,, only the GCam is not working. I flashed the latest stable firmware,, then flashed latest Magisk v17 but Magisk(magisk hide option) kept restarting the phone. Flshed the Camera2Api module & Then tried Arnova Gcam version 8.1 as well as 8.2, but these apps never opened. Just kept crashing.

Anyways, reinstalled the Rom, this time flashed Magisk 16.4 which solved the problem of magisk hide option restarting the phone. But Gcam still not working.

So guys, please tell which version of Firmware,Magisk,Gcam etc are you using ? Any other pointers ? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jbmc83:
try other gcam ports, maybe even non-arnova versions. check the gcam repository, there are lots of different types and versions :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] beingtejas:
Am using 8.0 version, its working great no bugs no crash etc

Best ROM ever, smooth, and everything works flawless.

Only one little bit is missing, option for edit and send screencap without save.

If its there, it would be perfect ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ghostknightfire:
maybe i bricked

hi when i flashed the ROM i got into an error where internal storage, cache, data, system is 0MB also i cannot change the file system type and hard reset the phone. TWRP shows no OS installed but i can log into the system fine. the only problem is that i cannot flash anything else. if anyone can help me in solving this issue i would be grateful.

whenever i flash any zip i get error saying no space to flash.

and i can wipe the data but it has no effect i can still log into OS

whenever i see storage i see 4 storage 1 is memory card 1 is internal storage and 2 extra are their apart from memory card all are 0 MB.

i dirty flashed the rom and i flashed one more zip i cannot remember.

Thank You guys. Looking for some expert advice

Is this a fix for aggressive adaptive brightness?

The only thing that forced me to go back to stock MIUI was the issue with brightness - if the solution is to change kernel I'm coming back as this ROM rocks big time. Anyone else noticed an improvement in adaptive display using this kernel?

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Sounds like a plan and enough to bring me back from stock MIUI ROM - [MENTION=4665144]KeepTriin[/MENTION] did you notice if adaptive display is less aggressive with hard rock kernel?

Everything is great with this new release but I am facing this issue when I connect my Phone with my car via Bluetooth or via Wire. My Car supports Android Auto and now with latest update the volume is very low. I have to set my car's volume to maximum to listen to music and talk on call.

And one thing that I was facing from previous builds too that the phone doesn't ring whenever I receive call on my phone when connected to my car.

https://github.com/PeterCxy/Shelter

this is an interesting app that uses the android's built-in Work Profile to improve privacy and battery life. I wonder if the Work Profile function in this rom is midified or untouched? cause the app dev mentioned that some vendor and custom rom may have a broken Work Profile and could cause crashes or even brick your phone.

Island app has a better compatability than shelter, at least in my experience
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Voidablazer:
I have the same problem. V_v3k in pixel experience tries to tweak it so it doesn't crackle, using OSS Hal driver and other tweaks.

The issue is this: when you play an audio track you get stereo sound from both top earpiece and bottom speaker.

But the frequencies given to those are normally the same.

Problem is the top ear piece is small and can't handle low bass notes/frequencies which results in crackle.

Bottom speaker is bigger and can handle low and high frequencies.

In Miui it seems they have customized this so :

1) Top earpiece will play mostly high frequencies and cut off the bass ones, only high mid to treble notes.

2) Bottom speaker will focus more on bass frequencies and mid notes.

The workaround I have found is using Dolby Axon 7, you import it with magisk and go to custom equalizer, you limit the low frequencies and select smart equalizer : focused.

You get no crackling then even at max volume.

The issue then is though : You reduce bass/low frequencies for both top ear piece and bottom loudspeaker which isn't what you want ideally.

Optimally you would want to limit the bass only on the earpiece and bass boost the loudspeaker. Not reduce them both.

I haven't found a non programming way to do that.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Voidablazer:
Here is the Dolby atmos zip and my settings, flash it from magisk manager.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] beingtejas:
The reason I moved to miui again from this rom is

1) crackling sound from earpiece

2) quick charging issue

3) in call loudspeaker volume is too low

4) face unlock and on the go feature camera is rotated to 90° right dont know why!!??

The above make me move from this awesome rom..

But they are very major issues , coz device started to heat during charging and on miui even it charges on 3220 ma it won't get heated up..

The bugs may be coz of not proper source code..

Thank you [MENTION=4479268]Jay_B[/MENTION] for your hard work.. I wish all these get resolved soon, and there will be a android pie 9.0 of this rom..

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jbmc83:
1) i also have the crackling, common to MM2 oreo roms, unfortunately. devs are still trying to fix this.

2) no QC issue here. first charge cycle was slow charge, second was QC but not full power yet, from the third cycle onwards everything was fine.

3) at stock thats true. after flashing dolby mod loudspeaker is super loud now :)

4) dont use face unlock but on the go cam is fine here...

as for heating up, havent noticed anything out of the ordinary.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] beingtejas:
Experience is different for different peoples , some face the issue some won't face

Will try again to get back , after a proper full fastboot flash of miui latest rom.. then try to install this rom again.. thank you friend.. I tried two time and even tried the Dolby zip, but it put device in bootloop or it simply didn't worked with magisk 17.1 , may be this is some other version I used the latest there..

I scare of my earpiece get damaged that's y I move to stock.. but will try to be back if I solve the sound issue.. and quick charge I check for 15 days.. but it's not that good like miui and it takes long time to charge ..

Let's try again with a clean install after a fastboot flash..
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] m1n15s:
In my opinion more or less all oreo roms are the same based in ashwin original work so they carry the same bugs that since then are not resolved i installed almost all oreo roms just the customization differs

so miui based roms are bug free the rest suffers from same things i m on msm cause why change to another roms since nothing will change, from time to time i go to miui based but for some reason i keep loosing notifications
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jbmc83:
i could imagine that MIUI is likely the same as EMUI from Huawei concerning notifications, in that it is super aggressive in blocking and closing down apps to save battery. the only solution i found on EMUI was to convert a specific app to a system app and give it full access/freedom to stretch its legs (no battery optimization, no hibernation, etc). that way i never lost notifications.

maybe that could work for MIUI as well :)

This rom comes with ace kernel , which is tweaked by Dev ,

You have a option to flash hard rock kernel which is for Oreo..

it was purposefully set to lower maximum amperage than stock MIUI to put less stress on the battery. when i compare MSM to my previous xuefer LOS i get around 78% of the max amperage now, so instead of 3.5h it takes about 4.5h for a full charge (0-100%). i can totally live with that :)
