[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] usman_hafeez:
Appreciate if someone can help.

I purchased a Mi 8 Chinese version with China Stable ROM, unlocked Bootloader after waiting 372 long hours and yesterday installed recently released Global Stable ROM. Everything went well and phone worked perfectly. However, when I tried to re-lock the Bootloader, (using both XiaoMiTool and Fastboot methods) the Bootloader gets locked but the phone goes into Recovery bootloop every time with a message at the bottom that "this Miui version cannot be installed on this device....." When I unlock the bootloader again (by booting into fastboot and using Xiaomi Unlock tool) the phone boots normally.

So can I conclude that the bootloader cannot be locked unless I move back to China Stable ROM which originally came with the phone? I read somewhere that Xiaomi has disable the re-locking of bootloader just to curb selling of Chinese versions as Global, as some sellers were selling Chinese versions of Xiaomi phones as Global after installing Global ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] raven911:
I'm having the same issue as you just did. Not sure why the bootloader can't be relocked. I thought the model # between HK and China versions were supposed to be the same..
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] khkalam:
Recently xiaomi makes some ugly rules about local and global variant device to prevent Chinese device selling globally and global device selling into china. For that user can flash global rom to china variant device and global variant device to china rom, but we have to unlocked bootloader. Device will perform normally just find device will not worked. Also antirollback terrible disgusting too. I have some xiaomi mobile device and selling them one by one. Only keeping Mi8. If I need more secure device, I can buy iphone. I no need then xiaomi device.

People loving Xiaomi because of its hardware and software with up-gradation facilities. But their operating system optimization is really bad. Every update makes device performance different.

Actually I was reading some things on the MIUI official forum and * apparently* if you have a chinese MI 8 and want to switch to Global rom, your bootloader must remain unlobcked.... I'm not seeing much confirmation on that, but I would be catious...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Jeik:
Yeah, switching to a global rom on a Chinese variant and then locking the bootloader will result in a brick. But I don't understand why anyone would relock the bootloader since most repair shops find out if you unlocked it in the past.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] grootooter:
Relock not for warranty reasons, but to get android pay / NFC payment or other banking apps working. Many of them won't work with BL unlocked.

I don't have the device to test it yet, but you should at least be able to keep an unlocked bootloader and use apps that require it to be locked by using Magisk and enabling Magisk Hide on those apps.

Its solution is simple but of enormous importance for mi8users.

I also did everything ok, but at mi8 it was different. I also received "this Miui version can not be installed on this device ....."

I downloaded miflash unlock .... romGlobal was already installed on mi8 but with blockloaded bootloader it did not work ok.

Now I'm happy and with GlobalRom stable very fast.:good:

Hello i'm dev of the app call shimeji life

I worked hard for a better system and more compatibility with many more devices.

I just wanted to introduce them to you :D

I'd like to interact with the XDA community to get feedback, ideas, or just give help.

I'm a big fan of Shimejis for pc, but unfortunately,I wanted more variety of shimejis,that prompted my desire to create this app in addition to creating new systems to interact with them (like sounds).

Other applications don't have what I'm looking for so I thought I could do better.

Although I am a bit of a copy on the interface and icon (I like the vaporwave and the system of another similar app) Forgive me for that.

Features

:

* Animation speed

* Modify the size

* Hide and display from notifications

* Drag and Drop

* See above other applications

* Play sounds (in the other system at the moment)

[General Questions and Answers] Lil-Emo:
I have had some problems after installing a custom rom with project tremble, either Android P or others.​

I tried to flash the Stock ROM with MiFlash but neither does it leave, the partitions leave a trace despite using fastboot.​

After carrying out these processes, to install project tremble in the Mi A1, I wanted to return to another custom rom "Pixel Experience Rom" but when installing it, it did not go beyond the MI logo and this happened with others.​

Instructions​

1. Install again TWRP that you used to install Porject tremble (The one that I use official does not allow to do the following steps, if you do skip to the next step). I used this TWRP CosmicDan search in google, sorry

2. Deactivate partitions by "Tissot Manager". This will disable the "Vendor" partitions that are causing the problem.

3. Wide Data, cache, system, internal storage (optional).

4. Install official TWRP (recommended). I used this TWRP install oreo 3.2.1-2 search in google, sorry.

5. Install Custom ROM.

I am not responsible for any damage or problem of your device, any change or brick, is your responsibility.​

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] assassin10000:
So I'm relatively new to a Note 4, just received it this last Monday to see if I want a larger device. Plus my old S5 screen was dying. Only took 2 days to start asking myself why I didn't get one to start with.

In any case, after wiping, downgrading, unlocking the bootloader, upgrading and unlocking the bootloader again... I'm on MM 6.0.1 CQI2 build and CQL2 baseband. After a few days of re-installing all my old apps and setting up just about everything the way I wanted, I came to find out one of the few things that annoyed me about the new(er) touchwiz was the lack of infinite scrolling for both the home and app pages. A judicious application of Google-fu and I came across this info:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311335

With Root access and a file manager you can enable infinite scrolling in MM. It's an old fix for other Samsung phones, but I confirmed it worked with mine. From the thread named above:

I don't know if anyone else has already verified this in the 910v section but I didn't see any threads/complaints about it when I searched either.

Is this kernel compatible with Android Pie (9.0)? It should work out of the box, however several users have reported boot freezes / loops on Pie. I haven't had a chance to test it fully in Pie and am still on Oreo myself. If you run into issues, try running with SELinux as permissive or reach out on Telegram.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Pump Ac7i0n:
Nice, gonna give this a run. Kudos for adding detailed instructions on your site.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eurochild:
Nice, was hoping for new kernel a long time

I would like to suggest the "Hima Hotplug" for your kernel, it is so fluid and great on battery life (experience from sphinx kernel for bullhead)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] savagezen:
You're welcome. It is as much for me to remember how to do stuff in the future with other devices as anything else. Glad others can benefit from it as well.

Thank you for the new kernel,so far so good :svetius:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aureljared:
Smooth so far, great job.

though is it just me or does the Settings app display "Unavailable" under Kernel version? EX Kernel Manager displays the kernel version just fine.

Maybe it has something to do with the presence of spaces in the kernel version name?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
I see the same under about phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eurochild:
same here, nothing so important. if you click on it it shows the kernel info (atleast that is what happens on aosip rom)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aureljared:
Yeah I agree, it is, by no means, a deal-breaker. I just wanted to point it out for newcomers because I sure had a grand time panicking over whether or not the installation went through. :eek:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] baoprokute1234:
Currently using this kernel with ABC rom, so far the best kernel ever, very smooth and good heat output :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] savagezen:
This does work on AOSiP. Stock ROM (and maybe others) it does not appear after tapping on "Kernel Version" in settings. As noted, third party apps like EX Kernel Manager and Kernel Auditor seem to display the kernel version correctly.

There are, in fact, spaces in LOCALVERSION in the config file. I'll add this under bugs in the second post and update when it's fixed.

PS: Glad you guys are enjoying it and to hear it runs smooth and cool! Usage stats for the 'battery' spectrum profile are in the updated OP. Testing the 'balance' profile now.

UPDATE 8/1: The 'kernel version' issues has been fixed. Notation is in second post and download link has been updated in OP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galakanokis:
This kernel kicks ass! Seriously, great work. One of my major complaints with the 6P was its over heating and then thermal throttling. I just didn't play certain games because of it. Now, after flashing this kernel it runs smooth and cool and games work again. Unreal. Truly love the way the phone works now. Not bad for battery life either but it's not my primary any more.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] savagezen:
Good to hear! Did you use the Gaming spectrum profile? I'm don't use my phone for games so I didn't test that outside of synthetic benchmarks. Also, the Battery spectrum profile should give pretty good battery life as it's very conservative.

Spoiler: I'm working on maybe adding the chill or relaxed governors to test as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galakanokis:
No profiles, just default settings. I usually run a week or two on default before I mess around just so I can tell the difference in the tweaks.

I might play around but this phone is just for messing about now, picked up the Essential on the Prime deal and quite like it so the 6P is not a daily driver.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] savagezen:
Gotcha. FYI the balanced profile is enabled by default.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dirtyreturn:
Do you happen to have the link somewhere?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] savagezen:
All the profiles are in my AnyKernel repo on GitHub. There are a total of 30 profiles from around the web even though the Spectrum App only uses those numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3. I include my built kernel zImage-dtb in the AnyKernel repo so that you can clone it yourself and apply a different profile "manually" if you like. Just change the number in ramdisk/init.spectrum.sh, zip it up, and flash it.

if [ ! -f /data/property/persist.spectrum.profile ]; then
setprop persist.spectrum.profile 0 # change this number
fi

Note, if you use this method, and later select a profile from the Spectrum App, the Spectrum App choice will override the initial one, including after reboot -- because it applies the settings once the user space is reached.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Some custom ROMs such as aicp have it built in, kernel monitoring appd can have it. Your computer can do it. Or download matlog or something so.ilar from the play store.

For random reboots you want last k msg's
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nardow:
not a problem with the kernel, but with the ROM you're using

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nitrooo84:
Is S2W available on Pie builds?

edit: well, it looks like it's not. Will it be added?

Otherwise, is there a custom Pie kernel for Nexus 6p with S2W?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nitrooo84:
I tried the Pie testing build on the latest StatiXOS ROM. At first it worked fine, then I noticed my phone was not encrypted, so I had to wipe and reinstall the ROM.

Now the phone is FBE-encypted but I tried both builds (statixos and aosip) and my phone gets stuck at the G loading splash screen. ADB doesn't even work.

Stock kernel from the ROM, Franco Kernel, ElementalX Kernel (Oreo), they all work fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Elementalx and Franco do NOT work fine with 9.0, you're drunk.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nitrooo84:
I like beer :)

What issues do you have with those kernels on Pie?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Its not a "me having issues with it" its every single other person (apparently aside from you? Lol), well over 12 user reports including myself that have random reboots and sod's while using them.

The only reliable custom kernel for 9.0 is savagezens.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nitrooo84:
I didn't mean to say that nobody will ever have issues with those kernels on Pie. I'm just saying that in the few hours I tested both kernels I didn't encounter any major issue. The only thing I noticed is that wake gestures (s2w and dt2w) on both kernels don't work if the screen has been off for a long time.

Unfortunately, as far as I can see, Savagezen's Pie builds don't even boot for most people in this thread. I'm not criticizing the OP's work, which I appreciate very much, but reliability looks like a matter of luck here.
