How to fix audio delay when using bluetooth headset? I use airpods. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
Airpods do not support aptX on devices other than iPhones.

No aptX means Bluetooth audio delay. Apple's monopoly has a bad effect on users like you.

I shouldn't say, but you shouldn't have bought airpods, instead have invested it in buying better fully supported aptX earphones.

Hope you understand and don't get me wrong.

Sure it is.

It is 100% safe.

And it is only you I guess, my phone is cool.

I am really surprised, the OP was right when he said that major work has been done on 6.3

Only flashing the latest CN firmware (which i do for goodluck :P ) there is zero modification needed this time, and even if you don't flash it, it's not an issue.

The direction this ROM is going is awesome, pixel experience guys need to take inspiration from this.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] droident:
Usually the beep will happen once when you max out volume with a Bluetooth headset or headphones. But if I switch the volume steps to say 45 or 60, once you hit 75% of the way up the volume slider music stops and it's just ding-ding-etc. for how many times you pressed the volume key past an invisible threshold.

Still facing this problm
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] vshlkmr:
I have tried Bluetooth and wired, interestingly maxing out the volume does not produce any beep for me.

You can install kernel auditor and go to sound option and try adjusting the headphone gain option, I usually use it to boost headphone volume, but might help you in eliminating the beep, as it can be used to suppress the sound also..

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] droident:
Thanks for taking the time to test. That makes me think the issue could be with my soundbuds - so the max volume beep might not be Android side and rather built in to the Bluetooth hardware. I'm guessing they might be designed to not go past 15 steps and it's a side effect of a non-standard volume range. I'll stick with the default 15 and do some research :)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] droident:
Use the aroma installer. That way you can stick with your pico configuration and throw in wellbeing on the side :). You'd need to start from scratch I suspect though, so leave wellbeing until you're ready to start fresh again.

I'm new to magisk. I have always used Lineage with it's SU addon.

Aaaand I'm about to flash this :D

It's just the same thing? After a full wipe, I flash the ROM, then GAPPS, then magisk zip?

which version you advice me to install? (or which other root you advice anyway?)

Many thanks :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] droident:
Basically. Choose beta or stable zip to flash, then once android boots go grab yourself the magisk manager APK in the magisk thread (the XDA subforum is official; don't trust what you see on Google). You can install modules from the download tab, there's also an SU tab.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] particlemaniac:
Choose Nano package. Mine worked fine
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Sunshine93:
Because the wellbeing is lost in settings menu, so I search it in PS. Maybe because I installed the pico gapps

Edit : I solved it by install magisk module from magisk. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] MobyDuhFreak:
Just install aroma gapps package and install only what you want and you can replace the stock apps of you want.

Greetings,

I'm stipp new to custom ROMs. And I have a few questions regarding this ROM (of which I heard good things):

Is it official? Is it a port?

How stable/buggy is it?Will it improve?

How is the performance and the battery usage?

Is the camera affected too much? I don't need the best camera, but I need it to capture notes and the like.

How will my cellular reception be affected? Will the ROM change the frequencies? Does it have dual 4g like in MIUI where the use another antenna?

How often does it receive security updates? Does it update o er the air?

And most importantly: Does it "just work" after I install it? Does it need extra fiddling with firmwares and kernels (I have no idea what those even are)? I just want to install and use from the get-go.

Thank you for your time.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
• Official, not a port

• Bugless, improves always

• Good, depends upon your usage

• Camera is great as it has Gcam

• Unnoticeable, there has been a report to even support dual VoLTE

• Monthly, as Google does, and NO custom roms do have an OTA app which downloads the build, you have to clean flash for optimal performance

• You need some experience and try fiddling yourself

From these questions it seems you are not accustomed to custom ROMS.

In my opinion you should have some guts and try out stuff yourself. We all were once like you, but we never questioned these and tried out stuff ourselves.

The only person who knows what is best for him/her is he/she himself/herself.

I would still suggest trying stuff yourself and then concluding the queries and then ask.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] ByJove:
I guess I'll have to wait until summer comes then. I need my phpne for university. By then it'd probably even more polished.

Thank you for replying.

Edit:

I forgot to ask about the anti-rollback Xiaomi introduced last summer, should I be worried? I'm using the stock MIUI 10.4, would I have to update or install something first? Am I good to go after unlocking?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
You don't have to wait for summer, it's already polished. The only problem is the way you flash the rom. That's the tricky, yet easy to grasp part.

There is no Anti-rollback for Vince.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] ByJove:
It's about my data and having to back up, the polish is an added bonus. But since it already is, great!

Are there any unlocking/ recovery/flashing tutorials for Vince on xda?

Good to hear.

the phone´s bootloader should be unlocked BEFORE you try to flash any custom rom. You should research and try to see by yourself. It´s not rocket science.. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AmulyaX:
[MENTION=9545178]ByJove[/MENTION]

I'd advise you to stay on a stock ROM like MIUI10 with all due respect, this world which unlocks along with the bootloader of a phone is quite risky and requires you to try things yourself. Everybody will tell their own view and I am sure your view will be different. If you are here for a 'completely bugless' experience, stay on MIUI10.

I never promise bugless ROMs, all I can promise is to try to best in fixing bugs that come up, most of which are already fixed. So, it's not like your phone will burst up if anything goes wrong, and there are all kinds of back-up applications like Titanium, Google Backup etc. which clears the risk of data loss.

Thank you for posting here and taking interest in the ROM but the attitude of staying by while others review stuff for you, I don't approve that. Best of luck!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] MobyDuhFreak:
Did you get that sot with adaptive brightness on?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] droident:
I'd definitely say this is 'the' release of this ROM. It trumps Oreo builds of Vince ROMs; if I recall correctly I'd run into isolated quirks on most Oreo ROMs; things that you could never quite reproduce but where show-stopping when they did happen. Pie was much more troubled at first and it's really impressive to see things progress from rather buggy and 'clunky' GSI hack builds to things now. At one point I was convinced Vince was at a dead-end with its seemingly abandoned state only a few or so months back.

I'd absolutely take this over stock MIUI any day; my last run-in with it was frustrating (bootloader lock, that was a sad 15 days). It's not nearly as 'slick' as any of the ROMs here; there's random small hangs because the resource management on MIUI. If I was able to fix that, even then I find the MIUI too... nosey, skinned and a little heavy. I think we're at a point where the community ROMs feel more stable and wholesome than Xiaomi's own offerings.

There's only one bug that seems to be affecting users and it's forgivable - the dreaded green camera pictures. It'll likely be fixed at some point but I'm so happy with how good things are now.

The game booster which you think as a charm is nothing but a crappy ram cleaner and network stability is a myth. Just a text on Miui game booster is enough to fool saying it 'works'.

So I'm almost sure I'll start using this ROM when I get my Redmi 5 plus, but I come from LG G2 with LineageOS that had the OTA app that downloaded and flashed updates without deleting all data. So the question being, is it possible to accomplish something similar? I'd rather not have to delete everything and reconfigure it all every month, if not possible,

Would it be fine to update every 3-4 months then? not asking for predictions on future updates, like, 4 months ago had you skipped from there to current update, would it have been okay in hindsight?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Sudhangshu:
AEX also had OTA updates features and you can even dirty flash if you don't want to lose your data.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
It's your wish when you'd like to update. He ota app on AEX just downloads new builds, its you who flashes them.
