[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
Haven't been on MIUI for a while but decided to go back due to GPS not working very well on havoc, lost signal in the middle of nowhere while driving in the dark.

Flashing the gps module from magisk did improve to find three or four satellites but not getting a lock indoors or near a window.

Right after I booted 9.1.24 I got a lock imminently with tons of satellites being picked up ..I really needed gps to work

It seems it has gotten a lot more stable on pie since last year.

All notifications work out of the box, I don't have to dig around with the permissions for each and every app.

It was only magisk that needed to be given notification permission so that the superuser prompt showed up.

The rom is smooth..there is no longer any lag on animations or opening recent apps.

Or even opening play store and swiping to open the side bar menu.

Before I felt the need for a custom kernel but now its very good with performance and lag free overall.

Youtube vanced shows playback controls on lock screen and I haven't touched notification settings.

Before you needed to grant a whole lot of permissions for this to appear.

Same goes for spotify and player pro.

After using a variation of treble roms and all its mods I really come to like MIUI recent apps while booting the phone for the first time I hated it..

The new pie horizontal cards are so cumbersome and takes too long time to swipe the long way to reach the next card and it does not snap to any individual card so I often scroll past the app I want to go back to.

Iphone also has this style of recent apps, but they overlap the apps like a deck of cards so you don't have to swipe your finger for such long distance.

Lollipop style to me was the worst because I have always avoided the recent apps because its so crowded and if I have five or so active apps it gets hard to keep track of where they are.

Slim recents is the only one I've been comfortable with and it is included in some treble roms but I can't remember which at this moment.

The cards are laid out in a vertical list, they are not overlapping and you can see all apps in the list if you use non expanded recents and its quick and easy to switch between apps.

The MIUI just makes it easy to see all of your apps that are open and its quick to open recents and go to that other app while on stock Pie I would probably have to scroll back and forth three times and grab my phone with two hands.

Still no notification icon on Google deskclock.

Eh, I can live with that.

I don't use auto-brightness but on every reboot the brightness is set to low..not an issue indoors but if I reboot the phone outdoors its a challenge to find the brightness slider.

Anyone has a solution for that?

Treble roms don't do this, the brightness I set is still the same when rebooting.

One little side note.

I bought two usb c cables from IKEA and they gave me corrupt zip file and many error messages saying the phone has stopped communicating with the host when trying to transfer photos from the phone to the computer.

TWRP gave me error 7 on several different TWRP builds when flashing the rom.

I switched back to my mcdodo Auto-Disconnect Type-C to USB and transferred the file again and all was good.

I was impressed with the sleeved cables but now I don't trust the cable anymore.
