pixel experience rom has everything that a pixel phone has including the amazing gcam

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The War Profiteer:
You can try pixel experience, I'm using it for a while now and never thought of changing to another rom. This will be my permanent rom I guess. Pixel3ROM is also nice, but it's just a port so the dev heavily refuses to add compatibility features like IR camera support for face unlock etc. So main features of the device won't work kn that one.

LineageOS is just another option, but it feels so empty compared to Pixel Experience. Yes, it can be customized but it'll never get the capabilities of Pixel Experience, due to official Rom policies of LOS.

And another thing, my device is rooted and I'm using PE, and Google Pay is working. :)

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Not everything.

---

About camera, it hss a Google Camera port that I can't really remember the name of dev, and you can flash the miui camera port from Magisk if you need that either.

If you have any questions about this rom, I'd love to answer them, I can consider myself as an experienced user of it I guess. I used miui for 2 weeks thanks to bootloader unlock timer, and believe me, when you switch, you will feel like tons of weight just pulled out of your shoulders.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hobhob:
Thanks everyone this is all really helpful to know. Sounds like Pixel Experience is the one to try first.

This is really handy to know. I was thinking today that maybe rooting etc my phone myself properly would give me better control over getting that set up to work properly.

One more thing, just checking over the instructions and a little lost on some bits;

Flash Instructions

1. Download ROM zip.

2 . Advanced Wipe: System, Data, Cache and Dalvik/cache - Already have TWRP from installing Xiaomi.eu rom.

3. Flash latest MIUI or Xiaomi.eu beta. - This step confuses me.. if I already have a xiaomi.eu rom installed, I presume I would skip this?

4. Flash Pixel Experience.

5. Flash Dm-verity and reboot into TWRP (Only if you're coming from MIUI stock. Skip that if you're coming from another custom ROM) - Guessing again, I would skip this as I am already on TWRP? Unsure what dm-verity is..

6. Advanced Wipe: Data

7. Reboot & enjoy.

Some background on the current config phone wise. Imported a Mi 8 before it was released globally, nor even a date was released at that point. The phone arrived with global rom I believe.. the bootloader was already unlocked however and it was in English, so I am unsure how they had the global rom on it.. unless was the chinese one in English? Eitherway. I just followed the usual guide to flashing Xiaomi.eu on the phone. TWRP was already on it, but it is a chinese version, in english, but with chinese text on the loading screen.. unsure if normal?

Thanks again!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The War Profiteer:
You can't skip the 3rd step since you're wiping the system partition, vendor and/or firmware files will be gone, which are not included with the rom.

At 5th, https://xdaforums.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 After flashing this, reboot to recovery in order to do advanced wipe. Just follow the steps, don't be lazy!

Not sure about your phone, but there are a high chance of being a Chinese variant of your phone, check the rear glass for CE certificate logo, if there are any chinese text, your phone is a chinese variant. In this situation, be careful to not lock your bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hobhob:
Thanks this is really helpful.

When I got the phone there was a sticker on the back which was in Chinese, all the packaging was too. The text printed on the phones actual case is in English however.

Update: All done and all was a success. Thanks everyone! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hobhob:
Tried Pixel Experience - battery drain was so extreme had to flash another rom..

So now trying Havoc.. way too many bugs, no sound on alarms, phone stops responding to touch.. ergh. Battery is good though.. haha.

Looking like there may not be any rom which isnt free of bugs or battery drain on the Mi 8..

Sadly Google Pay, with Magisk and hide, does not work on any rom. Altho I managed to get another banking app to work by using Magisk hide ironically.

Did you try syberia or AOSIP?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hobhob:
Using AOSIP now. My ideal build finally. Everything is running perfect :D Thanks for the suggestion

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hobhob:
Yes, all great. Battery is fine, alarm works, no more freezing. Finally all running smoothly :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00214:
+1 that. Everything works perfect for me on AOSIP and I've been using it as my daily driver for a week now.

I just replaced the default phone, contact and messaging apps with the Google ones with App systemizer and magisk, and replaced the stock cam with latest Gcam.

Recommend this rom :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sage:
Do you have a link to the latest GCam? I tried to find it though the one i installed Video didn't work. Just crashed when attempted. Photos looked good though.

Can anyone else comment on battery life of Pixel Experience? I'm currently on Global 10.3 and have great battery life (AccuBattery reports ~9.5 hrs SOT), but I really dislike the MIUI aesthetics.

OMG 9.5 screen on time? Bright porcent? and idle time how much? Can you link me the Rom you are using? Im on MIUI 10 Global 9.4.26 Beta...

Thank you all!

For the best battery life I'm trying to find a ROM with all-black theme because black gives battery savings on an AMOLED screen. Is there a ROM like that or even a ROM that supports themes and a black theme is available?

I'm basically asking for price to performance, From what I read around the forums "Both" Devices are amazing. How is touch sensitivity between the both? I know some owners have multiple devices in the house, So could you lady's an Gents Help me out with a selection? I know the "T" model don't have the audio Jack but that don't matter since I only use Bluetooth. What would be best for ordering 3rd Party or from OP main site?

Those are simple things that won't be a problem. But if you plan flashing a custom rom and you get the 6T be aware that I has the on display fp and doesn't work on any custom ROMs at the moment because OnePlus won't share the sources for it. "maybe" it will work in q.....
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KaM1KaZ3:
Thanks for sharing the info :good: What about ordering from a 3rd party like amazon? Or should I get it from OP main site? I do have prime.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] se7ensde:
Well see this question needs you to have a decision on which you want to buy...

If the 6T yes right from OnePlus website

If the 6 then you have no choice but a third party seller like Amazon etc... Because OnePlus is not selling the 6 on their website anymore since they sold out to cycle in the next gen device's for this year.... 6T will be in this situation as well in a few short months when the op7 drops...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SergioA:

Hi everyone

I used to use orange backup to make a scheduled backup of my device.

This now seems to be defunct.

I was wondering if there is anything similar I could use to make a nightly backup of my phone to my NextCloud server.

I have a OnePlus 6T, it isn't rooted but does have TWRP installed.

Would be nice to have the system backup automated without having to mess around going into TWRP.

Thanks for your help

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] newtube:
I've just bought this device and despite the good hardware i've noticed that the scrolling in many apps is really bad.

For example in apps such as Youtube, Play Store, Spotify, Amazon Prime Video the scrolling is really choppy. Web surfing in chrome is quite smooth instead.

Have you noticed this too? Is there a way to fix this issue? My antutu score is over 170000 points so i don't think i've performance problems. I'm running the last update with february security patches.

Thank you

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] StephenMSmith:
I also notice very slow and choppy scrolling in Gmail app. Annoying. Hopefully, EMUI 9 will improve.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Google uses such aggressive kernel settings to achieve that buttery smoothness that their devices tend to die in large numbers within the first 2 years of launch.

I can't speak for the Pixel 2XL but the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Pixel XL all died in large numbers within 2 years (often after just 5 or 6 months) because the aggressive kernel settings generated too much heat leading to internal component damage.

I find the M5 smooth but I'm comparing it to other tablets from Chuwi, Amazon and Samsung rather than my phone which cost twice as much as this tablet and is indeed smoother and snappier.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Trying going into the tablet manager app and let it optomize your device (or if you prefer just go into the Cleanup tab which will clean the system cache). A lot of owners have reported improved performance after using that app.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] -error:
I didn't look closely what they are doing with kernel on pixels, but read that smoothness comes from new "energy aware scheduler". Reading respective subreddit I haven't seen too many stories of devices dead because overheating.

I'm considering switching from t-mobile with a Hermes to Sprint with a Mogul for the faster speeds.

Thanks for the responses :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Mills00013:
normaly yes

but you are surrounded by a community of basement nerds with very little cash in their pockets, and we could maybe show some little reg tweaks to set you in the right direction.

or you could flash to a custom rom. I know DCD's roms, for example, already have the key taken out for you. Alltel moguls, in their stock configuration, dont have this key. I dont know about other carriers. but we could figure something out for you, yes.

[Samsung Gear S3] Deadly-Knight:
Hello! Just paired my Gear S3 from my S8+ phone to my new S10+ and I encountered an issue. I have been able to retrieve some of my watch faces including my paid applications and whatnot but I have been unable to download some of the watch faces I used to have. They do not appear in my apps/receipts list neither do they in the Galaxy store. I believe it might have to do with copyright infringement or something as those watch faces were using the Hugo Boss name without being from the company itself. They still show on my S8+ galaxy wearables but I found no way to retrieve them neither did I find their location on the drive to transfer them manually.

Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!

[Nokia 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MDV106:
I have been reading a lot about call recording issues regarding Android pie. So I decided that i'll share a call recording app that I have been using that works very well on the Nokia 8.

Call Recorder found on F-Droid has been serving me quite well (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.callrecorder/) even before I rooted the phone. I have attached screenshots of the last 2 calls I recorded earlier in the month. If you are unrooted I suggest you leave settings as default first before fiddling with them. If you are rooted then you can use "Voice Line" as your source since it already works for me. Dont forget to select "Calls Recording" option in the 3-dot menu before testing it. It might also be wise to ensure that the 'skip silence' and 'disable battery optimization' options are enabled.

I hope you guys find this useful as me.

GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950.apk

Open Camera has been best for videos otherwise, Gcam best for photos, especially low light.

And another one in which Google Lens works, Ithink this one:

MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4a_TlnNeun.apk

Neither work perfectly in all aspects, and they do crash now and then.

I also use Open Camera, it sometimes works better than the Gcams, and never crashes.

But now I have a new Asus Z6 as my primary phone, so don't take pictures with the Mix1 so much now.

The Z6 perhaps does not take better pictures, but the camera apps do not crash snd the HDR processing is much faster, no waiting.
