Yes, these are the right steps.

One benefit of PitchBlack is its compliance with both Oreo and Pie.

The optional steps that can come after are flashing a custom kernel and Magisk.

An advice: right after PitchBlack is installed, use it to make a full backup, in case something would go wrong.

My choices may not be the best but here is what I backup:

System Image

Boot

Data

Vendor Image

Persist Image

Boot Logo

Modem

EFS

btw how much free space would be needed to backup all these?

data partition contains user installed apps right?

and does PitchBlack has a thread in xda for whyred? coz I couldn't find one.

Don't.

Stay in 27052019, it's by far the best Havoc to date. Pie firmware has still some way ahead to mature, especially in battery usage. Havoc 2.5, RR 6.2.0 and Bootleggers 8.1 are the best ROMs so far, don't be lured by newer version numbers. :cool:

I'm on day 3 now after charging to only 85% and my whyred is still at 40%!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] blackList90:
First of all, Thanks for the reply! I will wait some more time to change ROM... I will wait for more complete and stable versions of the Havoc. A curiosity, to do so many hours of screen as I see from your screenshot ... have you installed any particular kernel ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ckom26:
The stats are inaccurate, perhaps because I don't charge to 100%. Actual screen-on time should be 3-4 hours, Wi-Fi always on from 8am till after midnight, some browsing, emailing, forum-reading on KangarooX-R4.4-nonOC (last Oreo). Battery drops 1% for every around 20-25 minutes of SOT here on XDA app. I also don't play games neither use spyware like fb-viber-messenger-younameit.

I find Havoc 2.5 slightly better, as it's more updated; these moved to Pie firmware too early and stopped Oreo builds.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] peter-k:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ckom26:
I second that. RR-N 7.1.2 on my good old Nubia Z7 Max was the most complete ROM I've ever used and ran for months at a time without hiccups. Had the best native applock too.

I agree, mostly, but I'm not a heavy IM and social media user. My setup runs Gapps (pico) with Play and services, Gmail, Hangouts, Wire, Telegram-X... nothing of the Big Brother spyware sort that tracks and processes ceaselessly (I still consider Google a lesser evil, but perhaps I'm wrong). And, for the record, I charged my phone at the end of day 4 with 11% remaining battery. :cool:

I think I got my phone already at MIUI-P when I started flashing other ROMs. Just make sure you flash latest Oreo firmware which is at ARB4. If you flash ARB3 firmware you'll brick it. Read the ARB thread.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ckom26:
TWRP restore doesn't work for some reason, I'm getting either soft bricks or fastboots too. A workaround is to clean flash 2.5 and only restore data. Also re-flash Gapps because they FC afterwards. Some other apps need reinstallation too. Or use Migrate.

a suggestion from me for Gestures in Havoc settings.

As on the bottom of screen we have a keybord for typing, why cnat we have selection of screen percentage to be used for swipe back ? Instead it is done as from the top selection, which is pointless? IMO turning it around would be much better.

Hello, I'm using Havoc 2.6 build 12/06/2019 and would like to upgrade to the latest build 2.8 Havoc.

Can I dirty flash the latest version?

Is there a way to backup my system/havoc settings so that I can restore after doing a clean installation?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Lermite:
Yes, you can dirty flash after wiping cache + Dalvik.

You can backup every partition through the recovery, with PitchBlack for example.

Choose "System image" rather than "System". It makes the backup more complete and the restore more reliable.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] GCSortes:
But won't this overwrite the update and come back to the old version? I mean if I backup 2.6 system image, wipe system, flash 2.8 and then restore 2.6 system image backup it feels like a rollback.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Lermite:
My advice is to backup everything before the update with a dirty flash, then restore anything after the update only if it went wrong, to get back to the old version, but the update should go smoothly.

I wonder if there is an option to install havoc 2.5 oreo based and still have the android pie navigation bar and recents screen. The only thing I will miss if I go back is the pie nav bar. Other than that the phone was way more responsive and my battery was super optimized in oreo, I could get about 6 to 7 hours screen when in pie I get 3 to 4... Needless to say that I have tried all pie roms and this is the best so I guess the battery issue has to do with pie.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Celguar:
Havoc 2.5 is based on 9 (Pie) Android. It has firmware section from oreo. And this section has nothing to do with Android 9 features like navbar etc. Only Android version ( that is 9 for a long time) matters of you speak of features.. So you can install Oreo firmware, twrp that supports it, and Havoc 2.5 and that's all.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] peter-k:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] peter-k:
Havoc is not better than any other ROM. It is highly customizable, it has loads of features, and it worked well until 2.5, and that is why most people like it.

To me Bootleggers, Nitrogen, Viper and Arrow are also fine ROMs. MiuMix for a MIUI ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Bolumstar:
Well, here is my take on Pie vs Oreo Firmware!

Oreo based firmware HavocOS 2.5 (May 14 or 27) update is the most stable and I can't remember any bugs with it. I rocked it 3 months with ice cold kernel 2.5 OC and it was splendid.

The truth is, you won't stay in Oreo firmware forever as most developers are all going pie firmware which is important because Android Q is around the corner.

Pie firmware (whyred) is still on the infancy stage and there could be some irregular operations like battery drain, inaccurate compass calibration, GPS not fixing quickly etc but that should not be enough reason not to stay in pie firmware.

Today pie firmware has come of Age. I just flashed Pie firmware V10.3.2.0 (global stable) and the battery life is back to almost the same thing I get with Oreo firmware (Attached image) and every other firmware issues I've had before in pie firmware now fixed.

Conclusion: flash pie firmware V10.3.2.0 global, flash HavocOS 2.8 and stay with the latest security patches. Isn't it the reason that we all flash custom ROMs? To get the latest goodies available?

You tried IceCold kernel already? the smart charging value can be set-up using kernel adiutor.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Lermite:
I've only tried the Smart Charging with the integrated kernel of Havoc and with KangarooX r4.9, using the Havoc settings as well as SmartPack Kernel Manager and Battery Charge Limit.

I've also tried to stop manually the charge by editing the control files content and this it the way I discovered the system override these files content almost as soon as it's modified.

As I'm actually enjoying KangarooX r5.1 as kernel and I've got used to the Automate TTS alerts about the charge level to rely on them and forget the smart charging feature forever.

By the way, I've found out that the Antutu Benckmark is not reliable to evaluate the performance of a setup.

With the same setup (Havoc 2.8, KangarooX r5.1 and Fw Global 10.3.2), two test gave 124K and 130K as results, proving that comparing these scores is pointless.

I keep Antutu but only to check that an update doesn't ruin the performance. I won't use it to compare the performances of several setups anymore.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Dims_Camper:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Lermite:
My tests are done.

Whichever control file is selected, Acca doesn't work. The battery level always ends up higher that the defined max level in Acca.

Android 9 definitely doesn't allow to limit the battery charge :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] bm1981:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ckom26:
No, it's the underlying firmware. Havoc 2.5 (Android 9) on Oreo stops charging precisely at where smart charging is set.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Lermite:
Your answer isn't clear to me.

Is Havoc based on Android 9 (Pie) or 8.1 (Oreo)?

And what is the "underlying firmware"? Isn't it the firmware such the Global 10.3.1?

I switched to Havoc on its version 2.5

Before, I used the xiaomi.eu weekly roms, without replacing their kernels, with always the same kernel for Pie.

Since the first xiaomi.eu rom on Android 9, limiting the battery charge is impossible on my Whyred.

I don't remember if it worked on Havoc 2.5 though but I that would surprise me as it would be the only rom on Android 9 allowing to limit the battery charge.

The usual behavior of a failing limit of the charge is a charge that seems to stop at the set level, but the the battery level keeps raising slowly.

If the charging cable is unplug they plug in again, the phone doesn't switch to charge mode. A reboot is required for the charge to work properly again.

A simple way to check if the charge can be stopped is to edit the control file content.

For example, with charging_enabled, its content is 1. After replacing it with 0, saving the file, closing it then opening it again, a 0 mean the charge can be stopped and a 1 means it can't.

The same test can be applied to the others control file, except input_suspend whose the default content is 0 and it must be 1 to stop the charge.

Anyway, I won't downgrade to Android 8.1 only to get the "Smart charging" working again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ckom26:
Havoc 2.5 is Android 9 but runs on Oreo firmware (2.6+ requires Pie FW). It's my current setup and the only things I miss are native call recording and a night mode tile. Oh, and native applock like in RR-N.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] SamdAbnormal:
I'm having poor ram management on Havoc OS 2.5 (27 May build) since a few weeks. My device freezes a lot. I've tried Icecold Kernel but that doesn't help too. MIUI had the best ram management I guess. I had never experienced any lags or freezes while using MIUI having the same amount of apps that I have now in HAVOC.

Is any other kernel recommended for better ram management?

I'm not upgrading to Havoc os 2.8 for the following reasons:

1) I'll have to do a clean install and setup again everything that'll take a lot of my time.

Anything recommended for faster migrating to new version?

2) There were a lot of certain stability issues with the new pie firmware(I know new firmware upgrade fixed a lot of issues but I'm not sure if there's any other issues that are not fixed). I'm kind of scared of the whole firmware thing(stability, battery life, performance etc.)

Can anyone either help me out with the kernel and ram management on 2.5 and also on some feedback after upgrading to this pie firmware thing?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] ckom26:
I don't think it's the kernel's fault, perhaps an app you're running is consuming too many resources? For the record, I'm on 2.5 too with KangarooX R4.4-nonOC and not facing any issues, but admittedly I'm a lightweight user.

For migrating I use 'Migrate', which does a very good job in preserving the applications settings. I also use 'ROM Settings Backup' for system settings, but it's not very easy to copy them across ROMs, so YMMV.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] peter-k:

Against all rules I did this: On Havoc 2.5, backup, flashed latest Orange Fox, reboot, flashed PIE fimware 10.3.1, do NOT reboot, flashed Fan Edition 2.8, reboot, flashed firmware 10.3.2, enjoy.
