Please stay away from Xiaomi.eu 9.3.7 or newer for now.

I've found that something changed in the newer Xiaomi.eu releases, essentially preventing GSIs from booting.

I've added a hint to the opening post to guide people towards the 9.3.1 build for the time being as it seems this is the last one that works as it should (as a GSI base).

No mention as to what ROM you are using... and no logcat.

I'll just add this to the opening post as well I guess.

No logcat -> No help.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shingers5:
8.12.13 is the best for now mate. Most boot off that
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
What makes you think that?

Also: Added a DT2W fix to the bundle. Have fun guys.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jngiag:
AOSIP (2019-02-24) and Descendant_TwoDotOne (2019-03-08) work fine with Eu 9.2.21 but not with Eu 9.3.7 & 9.3.14.

DotOS (2019-03-10) and Arrow (2019-03-14) work fine with Eu 9.3.14. May be these newer roms have captured the latest changes of the 9.3 version of Eu rom in their roms.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shingers5:
Trial and error.mate loads of it. Some of the newer pie vendors don't boot these roms but that one seems to be very good
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shingers5:
the latest vendors are bugged out.

this one seems to be one of the best as it boots most of these without issues

Hi I want to try this but I am a bit lost on what GSI should I install. I want to try AOSiP, but since there is not specific ROM on their repository for our device, which one from here should I download? https://aosiprom.com/beta/

I am now on xiaomi.eu 9.3.14, I plan to flash first xiaomi.eu version 9.3.1 and then follow the steps from OP.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptr21:
Here:

GSI - get.aosiprom.com > GSI

https://get.aosiprom.com/GSI/

I installed 02/24 version (arm64 a-only)

First flashed xiaomi.eu 9.2.21
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] diegoocampo:
Thanks! will try soon :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think it is not only vendor. Why? I flashed 9.3.14 fastboot via MI flash tool, reboot system, recovery, wiped everthing except vendor, flash xiaomi.eu 9.3.1, reboot, flash AOSiP, reboot - stay on first screen, no boot!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
Interesting. Can anyone comment on that?

Which combination worked best for you guys?

Should 9.2.21 be the new recommended base?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shingers5:
Mate

Flash 8.12.13 xiaomi.eu

Wipe factory data reset

Flash GSI

Reboot
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Germano1980:
I have not been able to install almost any GSI using as a basis the rom xiaomi.eu this month, even using its guide. The only ones that started without being locked in the logo screen were DotOS, Arrow and FlokoROM (the latter has a bug in the settings). For now, I'm using DotOS based on eu rom 9.3.14, but the best base option (in my opinion) is 9.2.21. I also tried the liquid remix version of the 19th, but it was in bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] diegoocampo:
I confirm I had this problem yesterday. I also flashed 9.3.1 and I got stuck on the Mi logo. I tried with "AOSiP-9.0-GSI-arm64_aonly-20190224.img" from this link https://get.aosiprom.com/GSI/
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
OP now provides Single-Flash packages for TWRP for ROMs.

(The list will be growing over time...)

Pick a ROM, flash it and just enjoy.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shingers5:
Do these single flash packages include all the fixes from the GSI experience? How do we flash? Like normal zip custom ROMs?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
Yes and yes.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shingers5:
Tried it and it works fine. I used advance wipe and even wiped vendor and it booted fine. This AOSiP is very good and comes highly recommended. Zio flash working well. Also xiaomi.eu 9.2.21/is very good vendor for these GSI ROMs
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
The generated skeleton of mine uses 10.2.1.0 stable, it seems to get the job done just fine and prevents people from having to puzzle together the pieces they need themselves.

TBH, I think there's little I can do to make it even easier now. Now all we need is to run through the usual suspects... see which one's work flawlessly, and package them up.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jngiag:
The concept of single flash packages is cool and interesting. Is the product considered as a custom rom since it is also flashed in the same way like a normal custom rom. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
Depends on who you are asking.

Die-hards will still complain and reason that it isn't...

But normal folks and people that actually use their phones rather than fight over semantics will never notice the difference at this point.

After all... We are feature complete now.

Hell, even VoLTE & DT2W work fine.

I personally am content with the endresult and got what I wanted: A clean, fast and properly running big Android phablet.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misterk267:
I've read the thread twice and would like to clarify something - perhaps I'm being paranoid but I've not messed with GSIs much and would like to be 100% sure on this.

I am currently on the latest 9.3.21 Xioami.eu rom. I would like to try the new single-flash zip in the OP. (AOSiP). The correct process would simply be to reboot to recovery, wipe everything (including /system, /data and /vendor) and then simply flash the zip and reboot, correct?

Thanks in advance :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jngiag:
Yes including Dvik/ART Cache & Cache. I normally do not flash the Internal Storage. 9.3.21 Xioami.eu rom won't work (it will just stuck on mi logo). Use 10.2.1.0 stable or 9.2.21 if you want to get it work with AOSIP (2019-02-24). :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
Just flash the zip, then factory reset the phone by sliding the bar in TWRP's wipe menu. That should be enough.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jngiag:
Sorry misterk267, my bad, this is right. I didn't notice that you are referring to single-flash zip (not gsi). :o
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shingers5:
Anything that simplifies the process is a plus as it leaves less room for error. So many have EDL brick their device cause they didn't quite understand so this single zip format ensures success
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misterk267:
Heh, no worries man. Glad I didn't do it yet :P
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misterk267:
Just wanted to say, this rom is amazing and has made my day. Thank you very much. <3
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregor250385:
Your rom is amazing, thank u for that.

Any chance to get google cam working on it?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misterk267:
I installed the apk from the first link in the OP of this thread and it seems to be working fine, no config or magisk module required.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Germano1980:
Just to see if I really understood: in this case, it would work as if it were a "complete rom", not having the concern of installing anything else? And which vendor did you use: 9.2.21 or 9.3.1?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misterk267:
If you pull the .zip apart and look inside vendor, you can view the build date inside build.prop. It looks like it's probably 9.2.21, since the date is listed as Feb 26 and Xiaomi.eu didn't post the 9.2.28/9.3.1 thread until March 1st.

Depends on what you mean by "complete rom." I still had to flash gapps and magisk. Nothing else though.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] azhar63:
I installed this ROM today with official "Orange fox" recovery easily. I just need help how to hide buttons I mean full screen. I tried my best but couldn't hide them.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

I installed AOiSP can anyone explain please what is the difference between AOSiP & DotOS???
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptr21:
Use Fluid NG. You will need root to hide buttons. Works fine on Aosip.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] azhar63:
Oh Thanks a lot my dear mate
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
But why would you on AOSiP?

The ROM has built-in hide navigation bar & gesture navigation features...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptr21:
Me personally - I used it before on miui, im used to it. Liked the haptic feedback and the color options. Miui didnt have these. I see that there are navigation options on Aosip, but as I said - Im used to Fluid.

I was runing Xiaomi EU stable 10.2.1
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
Fixed and OP updated.

All packages have been re-built to include the fix.

As for you / existing ROM users, it's enough to just flash the minimal fix on top of your existing ROM install.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregor250385:
Double tap to wake works every 4th time ( 4 times tap makes the screen goes on) a little bug maybe?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Germano1980:
For those who are interested, today a new version of AOSiP came out, and works with xiaomi.eu 9.3.14 as a base.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
Works fine for me with 2 taps (as it should).

Check if anything else you installed interferes with it.

As for "a little bug maybe"... this isn't even under my control... so it's quite unlikely.

The actual DT2W trigger code is part of the kernel... and all my fix does is create and send a input-event into the kernel driver to turn the gt9xx driver's DT2W mode on.

I've reverse engineered MIUI's services.jar file and the accompanying libcutil library to find the bits and pieces required to toggle it... so it's essentially done the same way MIUI does it.

Already downloading it... once done I'll test it, and if it works fine, update the package in the OP.

EDIT: Tested it. Seems to work great so far. Works both clean & dirty flashed on top of the previous build! Get it in the OP.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Germano1980:
As far as I tested, everything is working as in the previous version, and stable, but I had to go back to my DotOS backup.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gunzgunz:
"How do I enable DT2W (double-tap to wake)?

Create a file named "enable_dt2w" (without the quotes) in your device's internal storage.

Reboot your device. "

What kind of file should be created on the interval storage to make this work.

Thank you for the usual support :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No type...only a file with enable_dt2w without(!) extension. You can use Mixplorer for that.

Hello! I am on AOSiP 25-03-2019, its been an really good experience so far, I plan to keep using this instead of MIUI.

I have only 2 drawbacks, and since I am not sure if they are related to the AOSiP GSI image or to the fixes for our device, I thought i let you know:

- I use this app for playing audiobooks: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mdmt.sabp, it has an equalizer feature. It was working with xiaomi.eu ROM and now it is not working, it shows an "Equlizer error" message. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uga3a8fg88qys9b/Screenshot_Simple_ABP_20190325-130025.png, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/kdyoh4en9xjd492/Screenshot_Simple_ABP_20190326-120357.png

- I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.screenrecorder.free for screen recording, it was working on the xiaomi.eu ROM but now it is asking my for a "pop-up window (Alert)" permission and i searched for it and can't find it, so the app does not complete the setup https://www.dropbox.com/s/drocncys0314tp8/Screenshot_AZ_Screen_Recorder_20190325-125820.png?dl=0

Lastly, could anyone point me to the best place to see a changelog of each new AOSiP build? I couldn't find that easily.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
The permission you are looking for is called "Display on top of other applications" and can be found in the extended permissions section of the settings menu.

As for the equalizer, all GSIs (at the moment at least) don't support SoundFX libraries, as such all I can tell you is that, unless the application implements their own equalizer, you are out of luck there (for now).

Third party equalizers like ViperFX do work though, although I can't tell you a whole lot about their inner workings. If you want to give those a try feel free to check their Magisk packages out. They are hosted in the Magisk repository.

As for screen recording... you need no external app at all to do this.

AOSiP has its own screen recorder built-in.

To access it, edit your QuickSettings tiles and add the Screen Record tile.

Short-tapping the tile will change the recording resolution, and long-pressing it will start a new recording.

You can stop / finish a recording by clicking on the record-notification (which pops up after you've started recording).

There was an update from PixelDust yesterday (3/26) and gave a quick test. Apparently, everything works fine on xiaomi.eu 9.3.14. Only the battery consumption is too high (10% in 30 minutes of use).

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misterk267:
I haven't messed with DotOS, mostly because I flashed AOSiP and never looked back. There are a few minor UI glitches concerning the lock screen. (On boot up, the lock screen status bar clock is duplicated, but goes away after first unlock, and owner info doesn't seem to show up no matter what I do). Otherwise, I have zero complaints. Battery life is competitive with MIUI, which was a pleasant surprise. Performance has been phenomenal with zero lag or jitters.

If you have any questions specifically about AOSiP, I'd be happy to answer them.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phanty:
I tried both of these packages, and both seem to work really well! I prefer AOSiP over dotOS merely because the amount of tweaks that are offered fit the description of things I'd want to customize with not much else. dotOS is also very clean but more basic in terms of modifications, but seemed very stable.

Following the instructions and flashing over 9.2.21 EU ROM made every feature work, even wifi hotspot which was broken for me when I was using HavocOS previously. DT2W is still hit or miss for me, but not a deal breaker since the fingerprint unlock is a quicker way into the phone anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] diegoocampo:
I am on AOSiP. I have a headset with a microphone and 3 buttons (volume up, volume down, play/pause). I worked without problems on MIUI, the volume buttons worked even with the device locked. I used all the time since I love listening to audiobooks with my headphones. In AOSiP i just get the play/pause button working, the volume buttons seem to do something (they are not ignored) but its like they are not assigned to the right hardware key, they don't control the volume anymore.

Any ideas on this? would this be AOSiP being not compatible with my headset or maybe something specific with our devices and the fixed ROM provided here?

Thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shlyify:
thanks for replies, I flashed aosip over beta 9.3.28 its fine, battery life even better than on miui dunno how :D. These glitches are fine. Best thing is that phone is much faster. I felt lags when switching apps on miui(double tap last apps button) now it's reallly smoth.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misterk267:
I don't have a comparable headset to mess with so I have no idea if this will work, but have you tried button mapper by flar2?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] diegoocampo:
I did try Button Mapper. In that app I have to go to "Add Buttons" and it detects the volume buttons of my headset when I press them, they are added as "Button_2 (189)" and "Button_3 (190)". But this does not seem to be close to the native implementation I had on MIUI. I assign them actions volume up and volume down and they work only if the screen is on so for what I need it is not useful.

I have been doing that (for installing viper4android) for all the Pie gsi roms I installed so far including Aosip and DotOS. It works well for me. This is what I have done:-

1) Rename the folders /vendor/lib/soundfx & /vendor/lib64/soundfx to /vendor/lib/soundfx.old & /vendor/lib64/soundfx.old This will get the driver installed otherwise the message "In order to use ViPER4Anfroid, you need to install/update the V4A driver" will keep on appearing.

2) If the message re-appears again after reboot, remove the modules of ViPER4Android (I use ViPER4Android FX v1.8.1) in Magisk, reboot & reinstall the ViPER4Android in magisk again. It works after the next reboot.

Glad that you already got it working now. :)
