Great great rom! Will stick here for a while

Thanks!

Finally I flashing this ROM. It's fantastic! MIUI cam works well. Nothing much feature but who care. I just want stock Android as original it is. Hopefully it just work flawlessly as it is.

Thanks bro!

Just one thing, get gcam. And life is wonderful!

If you have redmi note 5 pro(India), Google camera is the only way, but for us who have redmi note 5 (China/global) can't use it cause of this annoying bug of front camera which makes camera unusable :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] IOmega666:
Thanks man. Really appreciate you updating this.

Things to point out. Padding in status bar is good, it'd be awesome to have an option with a more padding or less padding, I think right now is a little much.

Also the nav buttons are way to big, I use 420 dpi and the new nav bar buttons are too big for the UI, itd be awesome to have like 2 or 3 options, big, normal and small, something like that, being the new ones big.

I know this is Pixel Experience and there's little to none customization, and I like and support that but this to changes, tho they're good and need, are a little more than I think it needs.

Another thing, I have issued with the proximity sensor, it does not react quickly or sometimes it doesn't react at all, in MIUI I had no problems with this, it was fast but here something is wrong.

I think the navbar on the previous version was way too small. The new one seems much better proportionately.

Just my opinion

How you guys manage to download the new update? I'm on 100mbps connection, the download link is so slow, always get failed within 30-40% download. Tried with downloader or without it, even with phone update section, it always failed for me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] rizkajanuar:
I don't care about front cam of gcam, gcam are superior at rear camera. For front selfie camera, MIUI cam is winner.

Dude, you can use display adjustment for that. I'm personally happy with the layout. Look fit perfectly.

But agree with proximity. It's something you need to fix, dev. My screen still on for 5-7 second when get a call.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] IOmega666:
What you mean about display adjustment? I have display size set to the smallest and font size at 90%, the new nav bar buttons are just huge.

Also the padding was needed because of the curvature of the screen edges but I think is too much, could be a little less.

Me personally don't like nav bar to be so small. It just look weird (from my personal taste)

So here my setup display looks like

And so padding status bar event looks symmetrical with the XDA content, neat enough

I'm come from Global stable 19 with anti 4. Just clean flash as usual.

Everything working great.

It'd be cool to have 3 sizes of padding and nav bar buttons. Small, normal and big.

And the proximity sensor fix cause I always mess up when I try to listen to a WhatsApp audio message.

the new update did not bring significant fixes like the proximity sensor issue in calls(takes time for the screen to go shut) or the camera app that opens when the power buttons pressed only once. but the miui camera is a nice touch.

i noticed a bit of stutter when opening google search from home. and the pixel lagos live wallpaper lags the whole home screen(but thats a known issue in all roms of rm5)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] jhenrique09:
Pixel lagos live wallpaper is a port, that not works well on some SoCs, isn't whyred or rom issue.

After all, this rom is solid. Derp kernel do a great job with battery too.

One question, if there's updates comes, should I download again the update and flash again through TWRP? Or it's working as OTA in the system?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] endva3:

[MENTION=6519039]jhenrique09[/MENTION] I've been trying your custom ROM on my Redmi Note 5 for about two weeks and it has been very impressive so far. The interface is beautiful, the performance is smooth and the integrated MIUI camera is great. I sent a donation your way because you certainly deserve it. There are a few issues I've noticed with your custom ROM, however, and they still exist for me even with your latest update.

* Google Play frequently experiences delays before starting downloads of apps. I have tried clearing the app data and updating to a newer version of Google Play (v11.1.15) but none of these steps has solved the problem even after restarting the device or powering it off and on.

* Google Drive experiences a similar issue where file downloads do not start until minutes later.

* In the current version of your ROM, Google Play reports an "uncertified device" status in the settings menu so I wonder if that has something to do with the issues I've mentioned here. I think that the original release of your ROM passed as a certified device.

* There are random app crashes that happen in the background for no apparent reason. I'm using the latest versions of these apps and most of them are original releases from Google Play or APK Mirror. I should mention that I have Magisk v16.7 for root access and systemless Xposed Framework v90.2 beta 3 installed for use with modules like GravityBox [O] and YouTube AdAway.

* In the system updates menu, it should say "last checked" instead of "last updated" beside the recent date and time.

Thank you again for your great work on this custom ROM. If you're able to provide fixes for the issues I mentioned in your future releases, it will be excellent to see them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] jhenrique09:
Thank you for the donation

About uncertified device: are you using custom kernel or Xposed?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Cirra92:
Have you tried using Magisk 16.0? I am using that and won't update until a stable version is released as with this I have 0 issues. I don not use this rom, though I am probably going to flash it tomorrow, but as soon as you flash the rom flash Magisk 16.0 right away, before the initial boot, that was the trick to make the device show as "Certified" in Play Store.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GabbyWC:
Back when I was using your first Pixel Experience release for whyred, I flashed an updated version of Derp Kernel to see if it would clear up any of my problems but unfortunately it did not. I'm now back to the kernel that your ROM includes since I flashed your update yesterday. I am using systemless Xposed Framework.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

I had been using Magisk v16.0 up until yesterday and only updated to the beta version to see if it would help. I normally flash Magisk and Xposed in separate sessions after flashing the custom ROM on to my device. I know that using Xposed causes the SafetyNet check to fail but I'm okay with that because this device doesn't use NFC.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] jhenrique09:
Stock kernel has fix for safety net, idk about custom kernels, and Xposed even systemless is a trouble for green safetynet
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Cirra92:
I was always flashing Magisk right after the rom, as that was a workaround to make the device "Certified", I don't remember where I got that instruction. You can try it, it was working for me even when I used microG instead of GApps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GabbyWC:
So it's because of Xposed Framework that the device is showing up as uncertified in Google Play? Hmmm. Is that also what's causing my downloads from Google Play to be delayed? I have Magisk and Xposed Framework installed on my Google Nexus 5 with the stock Android 6.0.1 ROM and it doesn't experience these issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Cirra92:
I am probably going to try this out tomorrow, and I'll let you know. Right now, I'm on AOSiP rom, with systemless Xposed as well but no issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GabbyWC:
Thanks. It would be interesting to know if anyone else here encounters the same issues as me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] MineClashTVYT:
Hi!

Since i'm coming from a LG G4, all this anti-rollback stuff confuses me.

I just requested my bootloader unlock and still have 300 hours to wait (thank you Xiaomi), so I want to get a custom ROM.

I have a Redmi Note 5 Global with MIUI 9.5.13.0, so what do i have to do when i got the bootloader unlocked?

Normally, I would flash the official TWRP, backup the system, then flash the rom with Gapps (as it seems i don't have to flash Gapps with Pixel Experience) and be happy.

But I read that i have to flash firmware stuff before and such, so.. how does that stuff work on this phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] iCung:
Anti 4 = a status on MIUI firmware that prevents you from downgrading your phone. It indicates that your Rom has an anti rollback system. It starts from 9.5.19.0 on stable ROM (I don't know which rom includes anti 4 on beta). On these ROMs, downgrading phone means you'll literally brick your phone.

What to do after unlocking your bootloader? Yep you're right, you flash TWRP and firmware stuff. It's a must. Because your current firmware (fortunately) doesn't include the arb feature or anti 4.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] MineClashTVYT:
Got it, thank you! But where do i get the firmware zip from?

Sorry for all these questions, should be the last one
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CoolCatUA:
What are the instructions to flash this ROM ? I am on the Lineage OS official and have encrypted data. Can I just flash this ROM or I have to decrypt data ? Also could somebody confirm if Google Assitant works with provided in ROM Gapss ? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Cirra92:
He has explained everything well, except flashing the firmware part. He maybe meant to say ROM, instead of firmware.

Firmware zip contains updates for your hardware components (Bluetooth, modem, DSP etc) but also contains the bootloader (which may include Anti rollback protection or not, depending on the version of firmware).

For stable builds (that also means the same for firmware zips, as they are extracted from full MIUI roms), the ARB protection (anti 4) is included from 9.5.19.0 builds onward and for beta builds, from 8.7.6.

So, you haven't got ARB with your version, and you don't need to upgrade your firmware to run this ROM, unless requested by the dev, which will be pointed out surely.

Long story short:

Unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, do the necessary wipes in TWRP and flash ROM.zip

If you also want to decrypt device as MIUI encrypts by default you need to do "Format data" before flashing the rom in TWRP which will wipe your internal storage - this is optional though

I guess that's all you need for now :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Cirra92:
I was a bit too much impatient to wait for tomorrow and I flashed it right away :D

I can confirm that flashing Magisk before booting into system makes the device "Certified" in Play Store, so that's your solution.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Pachenko_Gr:
I don't know what about you complaining guys, but I am completely stock with no root whatsoever and I have Google play store certified...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GabbyWC:
That's interesting but I'm still not sure that the uncertified device status is causing my issues with Google Play and Google Drive. I can download apps and files from those sources but it takes minutes before they start downloading which is just annoying. There's no delay when downloading files with Google Chrome, though. I've spent a lot of time setting up and configuring my device with this custom ROM so starting over with a clean install is not something that I plan to do until Android P is released.

UPDATE: I uninstalled Xposed Framework from my phone through Magisk, cleared Google Play app data and restarted my device. Now my device passes SafetyNet and shows up as certified in Google Play but downloads from there are *still* delayed. I'll see if background apps stop crashing now that Xposed is no longer installed.

Proximity sensor is clean, I have no screen protectors and it was working just fine on MIUI 10 and MIUI 9.

Also, please, the padding is a little too much, it'd be nice to have like 3 different options for padding size and nav bar buttons size, for all of those that preffer the padding size and nav bar of the latest update and those who preffer the ones on the first release.
