[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Artemis83:
I installed yesterday the version 2.1, build 13/01, and seems a really good rom.

There are issues here in there, anyway, and some room for improvements.

I flashed over a 9.1.10 global weekly, and I was wondering if the base rom I used to flash can make a substantial difference in some bugs of the Syberia image.

What I noticed in a mid day of testing is:

- the black theme doesn't affect correctly some of the stock apps (I use a pico opengapps, so basically I have everything of the AOSP set), for example Phone and Contacts.

- the black theme have some issue with black font on black background in the language mask when using more than one language (seems not to be affected by the keyboard: tested with gboard, SwiftKey and blackberry keyboard apk).

- the stock camera app is really unpleasant, and even the porting for AOSP for Mi8 of the Pixel3 Camera is not really on point. The MIUI Camera porting, by AEonAX, is still far behind complete functionality.

- the sound quality through usb-c devices seems to have decreased A LOT: I tried both with various quality (from Xiaomi Hybrid to 300$ AKG headphones) headphones using the included dongle (which already wasn't even decent) and even directly with usb-c earphones. Both with the dongle and with good enough earphones (I used Xiaomi ANC usb-c) the difference with the MIUI is more than noticeable: the absence of any kind of optimization/equalizer module may be part of this.

- The top bar is somehow bugged in hardly-to-replicate ways: the percentage of battery tends to reappear even when hidden: after some tentative approach now I have the following behaviour: the percentage is set as hidden, it stay hidden on normal use and comes back while charging. It's fine, it stays like that for now, but I activated/deactivated the option and connected/disconnected the charger many times before obtaining it. For the clock on the left is the same: even if explicitly hidden it comes back anyway.

- The top bar has also some issue in alignment of icons upon display corners and in using well the space left beside the notch: specifically, on both left and right side at least one more icon can be added before showing the dot. Moreover, basically only the Syberia logo is well aligned with the display corner, and I supposed that happened randomly :D (notification icons margins are untestable since the clock hiding is bugged).

- in "Settings > System > System updates > Add-ons" the links to Magisk fail to open in browser.

- the stock launcher have some serious weakness: for example the news feed doesn't follow the theming, the drawer doesn't have a specific grid behaviour and it's mostly unreadable with many combination of display dpi/font size.

I may continue for a little while, but I didn't took sistematic notes of the issues encountered so this is just what comes in mind.

I realise that part of the issue are Syberia issues while some may be specific for the dipper port.

For now my system is without Magisk or any kind of other modding, so any suggestion (magisk modules, kernels, flash on last miui stable instead of weekly, whatever) to overcome some of those issues is most welcome.

I've read the front post and I didn't found a structured way to report usability bugs. The project GitHub is usable? Under which repository? There are rules of posting and documenting issues?

Thanks for the work, the rom seems on the right track to grow well. :)
