Sorry I take this back. I just tried it again to make sure. Portrait mode doesn't work anymore.

It worked fine last week, I had aex 6.3 with micro gapps. (background blurring was working).

But now I'm on aex 6.4 (clean flash, wiped everything) and mini gapps. Portrait mode doesn't work anymore. The camera button either freezes when pressing on it, and often the camera app crashes. (without background blurring, so without portrait mode, the front camera works fine).

Firmware is from miui 10.0.4.0.

The very last line mentioned your problem.

Boi, flash Chinese Beta fw not global fw. Global one too old.

Is anyone else having an issue casting since the latest update?

It was working before, but when I tried to cast last night it said it was connecting ... my TV screen went black for 10-15 seconds ... then it disconnected.

I've tried wiping cache and dalvik and removing the Vince from my TV's authorised list ... still the same.

Can't i just flash it over another rom. Why should i waste my date on downloading a chinese miui rom before flashing this one.

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Exactly, same happens to me

Another bug. Notification bar doesn't show whats downloading from playstore or browser.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Gaukler_Faun:
That's not a bug. That's the default behavior of the Android Download Manager. The notification is minimized. Just pull down your notifications and you'll see it.

Long click on the "i" icon, open the notification settings and you can change it to your needs.

When did I ever say you have to download Chinese miui ROM itself and flash the ROM?

Are you a fool?

There are firmwares available which are just 50mb and need to be flashed just before flashing any ROM.

Because you can't search properly and are lazy, you never found it out, and faced random bugs and "spammed" this thread by throwing them here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
OK, I just wiped dalvik/cache/system and then flashed fw 9.3.21 before aex 6.4 and mini gapps.

Result: portrait mode still doesn't work. The camera still freezes.

(as I said, it worked fine on aex 6.3 and fw 10.0.4.0).

---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

****, I now have the same problem after flashing fw 9.3.21. (it was working fine with fw 10.0.4.0).

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

Same problems with fw 9.1.24. Portrait mode and flash synchronization don't work.

Thanks a lot for helping me and sorry for disturbing you.

But the notification bar still doesn't show any download sign.

HDR has to turned off before taking portraits. Try that out.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
It still doesn't work after disabling HDR.

I think I'll have to go back to aex 6.3 and fw 10.0.4.0. With this combination the camera worked perfectly.

Aex 6.4 broke the portait mode. (clean flash)

(and the camera flash synchro too, although this might be due to the beta fw).

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

Ahhhhh THE CAMERA IS FIXED!!! (flash and portrait mode are now working perfectly again!).

This is what I did:

Flashed back fw 10.0.4.0 (on top of the existing system, without wiping anything).

Upon reboot it still didn't work.

Then, in system applications, I force closed the camera and wiped all its data and cache. (I had already done this after flash the beta firmwares, it never changed anything).

This still didn't fix it.

Then, in the camera I went into the settings, and looked at everything (without changing anything), and went into advanced settings, looked at the main & front camera settings (without changing anything)...

AND THEN : took some flash shots in the dark. It worked!

So I then tried a portrait shot. It worked! (including the blurry background).

The camera is perfect again.

edit : and BTW, I don't need to disable HDR, it works fine with it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
Could this be the reason of all the camera problems? :

There are different vinces, some with an omnivision camera ( the first batches and the Chinese has this) and some with a Sony camera (they started using the Sony with the global version of the phone).

Furthermore, the camera problems seem to show that some people need the Chinese beta firmware, and some others need the global 10.0.4.0. (10.0.4.0 fixed the problem for some people earlier in this thread and it seems to fix it for me too, but some other users say they need the Chinese fw).

I know my global Vince has the Sony, and fw 10.0.4.0 seems to make the camera work perfectly.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

OK, but to remind you : someone said earlier in this thread that the snapdragon camera is old and it makes lower quality pictures than the gcam.

(I'm just reporting what was said, I personally haven't tested it).

Furthermore: the camera problems with the gcam seem (?) to be caused by the wrong firmware being flashed (the Vince with the omnivision camera seem (?) to need the Chinese fw and the global Vince with the Sony camera seem (?) to need the global fw).

(if someone for whom the Chinese fw fixed the camera could confirm that their Vince does indeed have the omnivision camera) (the global fw fixed my global Vince with Sony camera, and the same happened to other people in this thread).

Disable "Android Setup" apps, there are 2 apps, and reboot. You will get notifications.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Sudhangshu:
Well hey everyone i think the dev should stick to gcam, the problems some are facing with the camera are caused by wrong firmware but if the dev wants to have snapdragon cam then it's welcome we can always flash gcam, the thing's that even if you flash snapdragon cam there will be still some having issues, I have no hard feelings for guys having camera issues things like that keep on happening we must find some solution and if you can't find any solution yourself then atleast be patient about the solution it will come. Thank you.

Yes I'm using chinese beta firmware on my vince with running latest AEX and I don't have any issues regarding camera no green pics potrait, hdr, everything's working fine.

For those who wanna try I'm using chinese 9.1.24 fw version and is on genom kernel February build.

Thanks again.

Sorry devs, moderators, admins for quoting this much.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AmulyaX:
Then I'll probably ship latest fw with next update lol. I think everybody should be on China fw as global is discontinued anyway.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
Feedback :

After getting the camera back to working correctly again thanks to flashing back fw 10.0.4.0, I have now flashed fw 9.3.21 to try it once more.

This is what I did :

1. Install fw 9.3.21 on top of the working 10.0.4.0. (without wiping anything before)

2. Wipe dalvik & cache

3. Reboot

Result :

Everything is working fine, including camera portrait mode and flash.

Now, the question is :

Why didn't the camera work when I flashed the fw on a clean wiped system BEFORE installing the rom (as was advised by people here).

Strangely, the key seems to be that the fw has to be installed after the rom.

Anyway, it finally works [emoji4]
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
I have no hard feelings if you just quote me instead of saying "people here".

The fact is, I advised people to do what I had done and got success.

Also I use 9.1.24 fw always, and flash it before ROM, and after wiping everything.

I flash Genom kernel after some reboots, but wait the camera still works on stock camera.

I use OrangeFox recovery and follow the steps mentioned in the thread of it.

It's no different but some additional reboots while flashing stuff.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BigMango:
Androbuddy, everything is perfect for me with fw 9.3.21, I think you can safely install it on top of your working system and then just wipe dalvik & cache.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
For what???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] tahab621:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Ysar57:
Hi! Many thanx!

I've had issues with camera (didn't work) afet an ordinary "clean flash" of the latest AospExtended.

I've done all you told:

* Full wipe

* flash fw 10.0.4.0

* flash ROM

* flash GAPPs

* reboot

* Install fw 9.3.21 on top of the working 10.0.4.0. (without wiping anything before)

* Wipe dalvik & cache

* Reboot

All is OK now!

We turned out to be great to be honest. Check the stats, this thread is the most viewed and with most active contributors and comments on Vince. I am glad, it tells a lot about the development and the quality of the rom being featured. I have excellent tester support, I am really proud of them all, all the 20 peeps in our TG group who test the builds for a week before they get posted officially. The changelog tells about how consistently bugs have been dealt with too. And not everybody can love everything, there is always room for people who don't like the stuff and it does nothing but motivates to do more for the people who actually like it.

Kudos to everybody, each and every guy who supported here. Thanks to everybody! I am sure we'll do Q too, when it comes out and it'll be good, not best ofcourse, because it's really a 'relative quality'. But we'll give our best to provide the max of our potentials. ❤️
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] real_pac:
We had our problems, yes but I've never talked bad about your work. Showed always respect and supported also in the time when we had this bad conversation.

I just said it, because some users had problems with languages specially English. Sometimes they sounds rude but meant something different.

It's a Vince forum and everyone should work together. Specially the users with knowledge to support the devs.

My big problem is, how people do sometimes response.

Yeah, belive me I know that some users are sending a lot of pms or quoting stuff without reading. That is and was always a problem here.

I'm not fronting you, but in this case I had found it little bit strange because he didn't mean anything bad.

Once again no beef nothing, don't want to be off topic. We should all quit this.

Specially from my side big thanks for your hard work!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] real_pac:
Mate, he and I had some bad conversations here. So it's his project and his thread, so that's why I don't want to be off topic.

Making custom roms and supporting them for a long time, means really really hard work.

The main problem on xda is that the most newer devs aren't working from stretch. They take a base or any multi compatible base to cook a rom. All the main issues will be also imported.

So sometimes you have to import stuff but if you just take a look at the Vince section, you will understand me.

Yeah, that's true. Because it's all about views and thanks. Like on YouTube.

I'm working on mods and kernels. I have to test my stuff on the most know customs roms.

He did a great work. Tested almost every rom and his one is almost bug free.

You don't have to like someone but you have to respect his Eirik work.

The most users are hating the xda app and also the whole layout. But they won't spent time and money. That's why, the most devs are switching to Telegramm.

Like I said it before, for me no problem with the dev or any other user outta here.

But I'm here for so a long time...... That's the reason why I'm helping out newer guys.

Let's quit all this here. We can talk via pm :)

Firstly a big thanks for the creator of this great rom

Any fix for this thing thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] qazi_sadid:
Face unlock works fine here. Your rom is encrypted thats why its not working.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] zortadot:
Thanks for replay

I just discovered how to make it work we need to slide to unlock the screen and then it works. Its not like the pixel expérience rom it unlock directly when i power on my device dont need to slide for unloking. I hope you understand what I mean.

Regarding the portrait mode I just discovered the solution to work. We must first activated retouching face and then it will work wonderfully.

Thankssss dev for this great work
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:

Does anyone else have this weird bug where suddenly there's a really long lag and you can't launch any apps for like 15 seconds? The UI works, I can move through my home screen pages, but nothing happens when I want to launch something (or if I'm in an app, I can interact with it but nothing happens when I tap on links etc.). Sometimes I get a message that the app "keeps crashing" - whichever app I wanted to launch during the lag. I did a clean install and this still happens. Up to date nano gapps, newest firmware, Genom kernel. Other than that the rom works great, but this one thing is slowly driving me insane. Could this be somehow related to encryption? I have no clue as to why this is happening.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] vshlkmr:
I had this exact problem when I was on stable firmware, flashing the Chinese beta one fixed this issue, fyi am on stock kernel, not on genome.

If firmware flashing doesn't work reset your stock kernel from magisk backup

IMPORTANT- sometimes resetting kernel can lead to bootloops so keep a backup ready.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
Resetting kernel can be also done by just flashing the ROM too.

It's not convenient ig but just another method.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] vshlkmr:
You can also take out the boot.img from the rom zip and also flash it via orange/twrp.

The number of choices android gives you...

Please mention which apps keep crashing?

The log has some system level resource not found error, am unable to guess the problem from it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] rawrower:
All of them, it doesn't matter which one. As long as it happens during the lag, whichever app I want to launch either doesn't launch at all and crashes, or I have to wait several seconds for it to launch. I tried to flash stock kernel and different firmware as suggested above, but that didn't seem to fix it. I'll keep trying other random things and see if anything helps. Some other log said "Out of memory, see process maps in the log" so it might be something regarding swap/paging maybe, but it's all on default settings, so that would be weird. Maybe a Magisk issue?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] AndroBuddy007:
Well the entire Android Community is a big family and we all are a part of it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] vshlkmr:
Certainly weird, try wiping EVERYTHING and then flash AEX again, without gapps, Magisk, kernel etc. If it works perfectly then again wipe and reflash the ROM with everything else and more or less you will be good.

If this problem comes up again then check that the problem is not hardware related (flash the stock miui 10), most rare problems are mainly through hardware errors as most of the software issues get sorted out and are often known.
