Flashed, still says my phone rooted when trying to add card for NFC-payment.

Should there be any other steps like here: https://c.mi.com/thread-2817986-1-0.html ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] lenski:
Ever thought of just not rooting? For me that was the easiest solution and I found that I really do not miss it.

And when you need to modify a system file it can still be done through ADB :)

I got sick of having a rooted phone and cracked the ****s and flashed Miui11 with mi flash. But then I get sick of Miui and go back to LOS16 and I always find that I need root at times. But Google pay won't work on mine regardless because it came brand new from China with bootloader already unlocked....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] juukeli:
My banking software won´t work without rooting and magisk with LOS, so it´s kind of mandatory to root. GPay or similar finnish software would be nice to have, but I can also live without it.

Is it true that with Pixel Experience GPay would work easily?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DahakePL:
Yes, on PE just flash the zip I gave and configure gpay

Hello everyone

I have two questions regarding the ROM.

"* Required * firmware version must be based on MIUI P-based builds." What firmware is that ? I have the bootloader unlocked and the recovery flashed. How do i install or get this "firmware"?

Also I managed to download and install the latest LOS from the website however if I install any gapps the phone gets into bootloop. If i install only the ROM I don't have problems with the boot process., it only occurs when I try to flash gapps right after the ROM. I tried couple of gapp version, but no joy.

Can you please suggest any gapps ?

Best regards,
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Cubiss:
You can get the firmware here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/polaris/#

just get the latest global weekly (9.6.27 now). It's a Xiaomi proprietary layer.

For GApps any from https://opengapps.org/ should be good. Just be sure to select ARM64 and Android 9.0.

I use nano since you can install any additional google apps from the play store.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Antonioium:
Okay, I've tried installing this every single way possible I feel like and all I ever get is a bootloop. I've tried installing with 9.6.27 (fw only & rom) with no luck, with and without open gapps, with and without wiping data, cache and system, completely formatting and still nothing. Let me get this straight, I'm sure its some user error, but this is how I understand it should be installed:

Install MIUI-P rom

Install and reboot to TWRP

Format everything by typing "yes"

Install 9.6.27 (fw only)

Install latest LineageOS 16 release

Install OpenGapps

Install Magisk

Reboot

I'm sure the first 3 steps are pointless unless you're coming from MIUI as a daily driver. I'm coming from ArrowOS and I really wanted this to work so I went that way anyway. Is there any way to go from ArrowOS to LineageOS 16 without completely wiping everything? Please XDA, shine some light on me.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KopiJahe:
Here's what I did when I first bought this phone, coming from MIUI:

Install and boot to TWRP

Format Internal storage (the one with confirmation)

Reboot to recovery

Format system and cache

Install fw 9.6.27

Install LOS

Install Open GApps

Install Magisk

Reboot to system

Also, be aware that a some of the latest releases from OpenGApps is making your phone bootloop: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/ethlvr/warning_open_gapps_builds_20200122_23_24_25_26/
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Antonioium:
Yeah, I had read that. That was the reason I tried to install without any gapps whatsoever and I still got a bootloop..

Hello,

Is there a way to enable gestures for home, back etc on the ROM similar to what is available in MIUI ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Cubiss:
I believe it is available but even if you enable it, it's not gonna be systemwide. Like in your launcher you won't be able to use them and buttons will be visible instead.

I use Fluid Navigation Gestures app on both LOS 16 and 17.2 and it works like a charm. It's well customizable and works everywhere in your system.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] aurocha:
It's funny, a third party app does a better job than an entire development team [MENTION=222739]google[/MENTION] that implemented a poor man's apple gestures that simply sucks and is totally unusable.

Props to the dev of that app and thank you for mentioning it. Not only I could recover Miui's gestures, that are far better than the stock ones, but you can customize them to behave more sanely.

/Rant over.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] METZGER2017:
I have had that happen to me a lot. And one time I couldn't get LOS 16 running on my phone again and it was because I needed to update my firmware.

Other times trying ROMs I was trying for the first time I would flash Miui again with mi flash tool to go back to stock and start over and try again and it took me a lot of goes to get the pixel experience ROM to ever run, but I got there in the end.

God knows what was actually going wrong, it's so frustrating and you never stop learning.

I tried both ArrowOS ROMs, android 9.0 and 10. I forgot what I don't like about them but I have no clue how to move to LOS 16 without full wipe, my guess with these phones is probably wipe......

I didn't try, but having the + after operatorNumeric is definitely required on my device when invoking RIL_REQUEST_SET_NETWORK_SELECTION_MANUAL (as is stripping it from the scan response). I replaced a local patch that did the same thing with the prop.

Today I installed LineageOS (like above but without MAGISK) first time on me MiMix2S.

It works quite fine but I am not able to update Google Maps (I only get an message like "cannot be installed").

How can I fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] METZGER2017:
I have seen that message for an app somewhere along the line but not for Google maps.. it can be just a one off and if you wipe and re flash LOS it may be gone. Just my opinion.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] zobizu:
After updating from a ROM from November to the most recent one (haven't done updates in between) it looks like it takes ages to boot and then asks me to Enter the Password to Mount & Encrypt Data in TWRP (3.2.3-0). Needless to say my password does not work and I don't have backups. I have ANXCamera installed and didn't turn off Magisk core as recommended here, as forgot about it and don't know what it is. Is there a way to keep the data on the phone or do I have to reinstall? And what do I have to do in order to not have the problem again? Thank you for your help!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] METZGER2017:
Every time something like that happens to me I just end up loosing everything. No matter how many times I try to get backup/restore to work it just never works successfully, for me anyway.

How come everyone is suggesting firmware version 9.6.27 (global, weekly) from 2019-06-28 instead of the more recent stable version?

Is there anything wrong with firmware V11.0.4.0.PDGMIXM (global, stable) from 2019-11-05?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] malimukk:
Nothing wrong but the system is based on the blobs fron 9.6.27 so it only works with with that firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] METZGER2017:
I only use global stable. I wondered that myself too..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Onawt:
The 9.6.27 firmware from the beta builds used to be more up-to-date than flashing firmware of stable version, which was always lagging behind.

However, Xiaomi stopped releasing beta builds for global and 9.6.27 is the last released beta build, dating from 2019-06-27.

By now I imagine the firmware from global stable builds is more up-to-date than 9.6.27. That's why flashing stable is fine as well now. 9.6.27 used to be the minimum required firmware for LOS to function properly.

Hey guys, I just unlocked my phone and I'm having a bit of trouble.

Tried to install latest version with OrangeFox, but seems the phone doesn't want to boot (+30 on the bootscreen).

I used 9.6.27 firmware, and Feb-17 rom. System, Data, Caches and Vendor wipes.

Any hint on what's going on?

I recently have flashed the latest build and have realised that the options to chage to black and white, sepia, etc can be selected but change nothing. Have this options worked in previous versions?

In addition, I didn't flash GApps and was wondering if there is a way to use NFC through some reliable app other that google pay.

So, just to be sure, since it's not listed in the original post: When coming from the Nov. 6th build, do we need to flash a vendor image before flashing the current update?

I am on the global ROM firmware. When flashing the vendor image do we have to wipe everything and lose all settings, essentially making this a fresh install?

Also, is there another mirror available? The OP link is unavailable due to too many downloads recently.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] bgcngm:
Not only you must flash at least 8.11.15 vendor image, but you should also update to the matching firmware. I will post some instructions tomorrow.

Download the following:

Lastest MIUI vendor.img (which can be found in the images folder extracted from the official Xiaomi fastboot ROM here <-- Use http explicitly as I have found issues downloading from their https page

Firmware version matching the vendor.img here

OR

Download both from here thanks to [MENTION=4783643]Berlino[/MENTION]

Install firmware and vendor BEFORE installing new LOS version.

Firmware can be installed as a standard flashable zip in TWRP

Vendor.img can be installed in TWRP by going Install>"Install Image" button>Select vendor.img>Select "Vendor Image" partition to flash

Reboot to system to make sure vendor and firmware has been flashed correctly

Flash LOS zip as normal, wipe cache and reboot to system

I'm not sure if step 3 is necessary but it worked for me. YMMV

[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] neroskola:
Hello,

I signed up here because I'm frustrated. :(

I use the calendar from my Google account. With the Honor 8X (and the Mate 20 Lite) I have the problem that the calendar is not being synchronized.

When I create an appointment on the PC, it doesn't appear on the Honor. The other way round. An automatic update does not take place.

If I synchronize the calendar manually in the settings it works. But that can't be the solution. It is a basic function that simply has to work.

By the way, changed or deleted birthdays are not updated at all, not even manually. Here it only helps to delete the calendar memory.

Also the installation of the Google calendar from the Playstore didn't help.

So I cannot and do not want to use the mobile phone. Does anyone have an idea? :confused:

(PS: English is not my native language)
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Matteo Mit.:
Maybe mine Is a stupid question, but do you have Google Calendar Sync installed on your device?

If yes, as I suppose, have you checked if this process is not protected under battery management?

I dont find an app with this name. But i have installed the "Google Calendar" App, so i think it should have everything it needs?

No, it's not enough: you need a sync process, this one Google Calendar Sync https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...calendar-sync-5-2-3-99827563-release-release/

This sync process enable your whatsoever Calendar app to sync with your google account.

P.S.1: Sorry for my English, too :)

P.S.2: Are you sure you have all Google Apps installed in your device? I'm asking this because is very strange you don't have Google Calendar Sync yet. Each GApps package will include Google Play, Camera, Keyboard, Gmail and much more. Of course, if you have the Google Play Store, along with obligatory Google Play Services, you’ll have access to the entire catalogue. Without these core apps, there's no way out: you can't have your calendar sync'ed.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] neroskola:
I have installed everything and it has now also worked with the synchronization of appointments. But when I change or delete birthdays, they are not updated. No matter what I try. I have to delete the calendar memory first, which I think is very inconvenient. I will therefore return the phone and hope that Huawei will fix this bug at some point.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] iainmann:

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] bbs3223474:
I noticed that since the leaks. First I thought that will be the laser focus module for LDAF, but since I got Pixel 3 on my hand, I found that was too small to be a laser focus module than any other phone has.

Besides, I tried use another camera and pointed at the back of Pixel 3 when its camera open, there's no flash coming out of that dot like my Pixel 1 did.

So what is that dot exactly? It seems like a illumination sensor but I've got no idea why we need a illumination sensor on that position. Also I can't find any explanation on Google store website.

On a similar note, did anyone else notice that the black model of the Pixel 2 has it's sensors hidden behind tinted glass, but the Pixel 3's are on full display behind clear glass? I wonder why they changed this. I liked the clean look of the tinted glass over the sensors.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] matteventu:
Which sensors do you mean?

Front-facing sensors like proximity and light sensor? Or the rear sensor?

If it's for the rear, that's because Pixel 2 had IR autofocus sensors, which are themselves deep black and therefore easier to hide. The flicker sensor of Pixel 3 is not black so it will always stand out.
