Can't mount vendor error because Twrp lacks some treble stuff. There is an old Ofox with Touch fix.

Which panel does your Vince have?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] OctopusColombus:
And which version it? I'll try it...

For now i'm gonna switch back to miui 10 global stable, then flash aosp again from orange fox
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
It was Ofox R8.x-Unified on the Orange Fox website.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] OctopusColombus:
i've installed orange fox r9.0 and it work. flashing aex with gapps now. report back later, wish me luck

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

okay so i've installed aex with gapps. Right now the camera works perfectly and face recognition option is available!! wow this is great actually.

but one thing i've never been able to solve

my NOTIFICATION LIGHT (LED) is still not working, not even when charging.....

any solution?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Sunshine93:
Use the latest Orangefox, My LED device works normally here
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] OctopusColombus:
latest orange fox which is R10 got touchscreen error for me. so i use r9

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

okay here is another update. i switched back to MIUI 10 Global Stable. My LED works just fine.

for anyone who doesn't get any bug with AeX can you please give me a detail info on how you flash it, which version, from what ROM you installed AeX, firmware, Kernel, EVERYTHING.

it's been 2 days. i cannot make this to work! :(

*edit

Is there anyway that i could flash AeX without changing the original kernel from MIUI 10? it seems like the only different on my device between MIUI 10 and AeX is kernel version.

or maybe it's just AeX's bug?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] lapora:
Gps

Delete \solved i had to put it in high accuracy
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] OctopusColombus:
this time i give up on trying to fix this notif light.

i'll just deal with it not working.

hope the developers would give me something :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] :
Bro i know you are raging cause your led won't work but it's not devs fault if just you face this problem.

Btw format, flash rom and gapps (and magisk if you want root).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Doomkopf:
[MENTION=230989]Octopus[/MENTION]Columbus maybe trying some kind of auto flasher (flashed while you are in rom) can result in success. Afaik there was a new auto flashing system recently introduced, I didn't try it yet, but the developer already did very important and good stuff, so yeah ^^ Franco Kernel Manager should have it I think, idk where else you could look tho

Hey everyone!

I have a good news and a bad news.

Frankly speaking, I didn't think I'd have to do this, this soon, I thought I still had a week or so. Well it's alright.

I joined AEX almost 2 years ago and the journey had been wonderful, I started learning development back in 2016 when I had a J7, lol, Exynos was a headache. But then I bought Moto Z Play, addison, and with the help of a very close friend who helped me understand all the small things that exist in development, my mentor, [MENTION=6257538]FireLord[/MENTION]

Who is like 5 years younger then me, yet so talented, even more than I can ever be. I owe him big time.

Then things changed after I bought vince, I got this amazing community which comprised of you guys, I mean yeah, we have some weird people here too but majority of guys here are very humble and understanding. I became a Recognized Developer while developing for Vince, this device taught me a lot and I am grateful to each and everyone here who thanked me and motivated me continuously. So the bad news is, I have left AEX, due to some internal matters and my own issues, I happily left, no fuss. It's just, maintaining AEX used to make me happy and satisfied but from few months it was doing the very opposite of it so I decided to not continue anymore.

Good news is, [MENTION=8065232]AndroBuddy007[/MENTION] is gonna maintain AEX for vince and I am sure he'll do good.

AEX indeed gave me a lot.

Farewell guys. Cheers to our small community!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] NaassomDourado:

[MENTION=6409818]AmulyaX[/MENTION]

Any chance you will get back to maintain your lineageos for vince? ;) It is also great rom. Big thanks for your hard work for every vince user.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
Unfortunately he doesn't own a Vince any more so it isn't possible for him to maintain Lineage or any other ROM for Vince.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] lpchester7:
It's so heart touching to see such a humble developer leaving with such great feelings towards his work and everyone here attached to xda. Thankyou bro. You surely left a great mark here. Whatever problems you are facing we just wish you good luck. Thankyou for your contribution bro. God bless you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] OctopusColombus:
Okay so i just found another bug... When i take picture from whatsapp... It's all green :))
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Hafiezul:
it is not a new bug. zoom in 1.1x or turn on flash for fix.

About you notification light, have you make sure that you've turned on the light setting in extend your device?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fede01_8:
That makes no sense. MIUI is full of bloatware. AOSP is a debloated OS
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Irvan Malik:
Well, that's just an option.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fede01_8:
Next time you give an option, makes sure your facts are not inverted
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Irvan Malik:
That's not inverted. You can compare the battery life of both AOSP and MIUI and you will still find that MIUI has better battery consumption.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Sunshine93:
Because MIUI have aggressive ram management.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Irvan Malik:
Yeah. But I prefer AOSP though.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:

If you want to chit chat use social apps. XDA is a development forum. If you don't like it, then beat it.

If you decide to stay, keep the conversation developer friendly. Have a nice day.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Matrix1999:
Thank you so much for this wise advice. I have been searching high and low and finally found this solution. For whatever reason, this bug only occurs for me when I use the rear camera on Whatsapp. It works fine with all other apps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Virallata:
Hi guys, maybe someone here can help me.

I am testing the ROM and so far, I really like it, but there is a question that I need to find a solution.

When I connect my phone to the car charger, the phone continues to discharge instead of charging, even though the Ampere shows 200 to 400 mA positive charging, and the charging icon is showing.

This did not happen with Stock ROM

Does anyone have similar problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Virallata:
I found out some other person had that problem with the car charge.

So i got a logcat as requested:

Can't update

I've already downloaded the newest ROM for vince (release date 21/07/2019) but it didn't work. I've clicked "install" button and nothing happens. Please help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
Sir, kindly read the Changelog of latest version, it clearly says Fixed OTA Updater app Installation button. This also means older Builds have this problem and hence Manual Flashing is necessary if upgrading from them.

You should always read and cross examine stuff before posting issues, most cases it is a repeated issue, and it adds as spam to the thread.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Ainathegreat:
Alright. Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fede01_8:
After installing the update, the USB options are greyed out! USB debugging is enabled.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
This is Re-announcement

We are aware of the issue which prevents users from selecting the USB configuration. Fixing it now and making both variants again doesn't make sense. For now, go to Developer options and manually change configuration.

We have planned an update in the starting of next month when the August security patch will be released.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please consider going through the Thread before posting issues, this is a Request to all.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Rishank:
if i will recommend kernel then that will be best for me.... there are 3 recommended kernels Fate,DA both for balanced performance n good battery backup and third kernel is vimb which is overclocked it is for performance...what will u do of other experience?simple use that which seems good according to yr usage patterns
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
I have been using Dark Ages for more than a week now.

Battery life is worse than the default aex kernel.

And listed features aren't even in the kernel. For example, wireguard support is listed as a feature, but it isn't built in and the dev doesn't reply anything at all in the DA thread when asked about it.

So, if the choice is between the default aex kernel and DA, the aex is kernel is much better.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Sunshine93:
I feel the battery is much better than stock aex :)

You should have respect for those you atleast answer your questions. Whatever he has said is correct and you need not criticise pointlessly here. He has read what you wrote below your question and knows what he said.

My request to keep the thread clean and better not ask suggestions of what is a better kernel/ROM etc. This thread is to discuss features and bugs in the Rom, not compare other stuff.

- Is there a network monitor option somewhere?

Hey. I've just got through all the problems installing the ROM and finally got it to work properly. However, I can't comprehend one, last thing - installing GCam. Could someone please give me a step-by-step, short guide on how to get a properly working GCam (front camera included)? I've got Magisk installed already.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
Just enable Camera2 API and you are gtg.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Quize95:
Thanks, it worked. However, when I open the camera, it's very laggy when I'm trying to take a picture. Work fine when I'm recording tho. Any ideas? I've downloaded this app: Arnova's 6.2.030 v2.2: Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.190716.1800-Final.apk

Edit. It works normally if I turn off HDR. Is it because the phone itself is pretty slow and can't handle HDR or the app I downloaded is trash?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Quize95:
Ok, I changed the app to Pixel3 and it works perfectly. However, I've got another problem regarding the ROM itself - when I connect it to the PC, I can't switch between USB options. It's just charging and I can't transfer files, switch to PTP, MIDI or Tethering. It's all just grey.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] :
It's a problem of this update, going to be fixed with the next one
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] scratch1338:
In the meantime, you can go to developer options and change the default USB mode from there until it's fixed in a future update.

That's what I experienced in the past but I do not know the password for encryption, no?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
If you lost your encryption password, you have to wipe everything and reinstall.

There is no way of recovering an encrypted device if you lost your password.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] JulioQc:
No, what I mean is when encrypting the phone is doesn't ask for a password. Thus I do not know of the password the system used to encrypt and cannot provide it to the recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
Sorry I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

For years, all my android phones have ALWAYS required a password for encryption. And this rom is not different. I also always need to enter this password when starting up the phone.

The password is always the password you setup for the phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] JulioQc:
No, I have absolutely no idea what YOU are talking about lol

It's been a while last I setup encryption so I could be forgetting something. I'll do a nandroid backup, try encryption it on this ROM and post the results :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Rishank:
my personal opinion don't mess with encryption decryption if u don't care of your data at any time u may have to format your data coz recovery is retarded.. leave it decrypted
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
Lmao.

Leaving your phone with all of your personal information, contacts, mail, photos, apps with financial information, etc... decrypted.

Hahaha... Yeah, whatever works for you mate.

I never had any problems with phone encryption for the past 10 years. Always worked perfectly with all of my many Android phones and tablets.

The only problem is if you forget your password. And that's a feature.

By the way: if you don't backup your important info it's your own fault.

Phones are lost and stolen every day. So even in the eventuality that any problem arises with your phone encryption (which I have never heard of), you might lose your phone today or tomorrow and so you won't be able to access your data anymore in the same way as your encryption might screw up. But at least with the encryption no one gets your info.
