Brother can i request 1 thing ?

Quick setting panel in dark mode does not change with theme

Can you make that happen change qs tile in dark theme ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Speedo.thc:
This is why I will provide some dark themes with accent color, they will get to be used without the internal dark enable, coz it brings Q's tiles to blue.

My brother! Im eagerly waiting for your release. I've been far from miui for a very long time (havoc user)

If you were to sell me this rom up, what would you say is better on this than on AOSP Roms?

Congrats on this gem!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Speedo.thc:
Hi, I was very far from MIUI too, working on Android One, wich is very good ROM now ( I think it's the major challenger to PE for simplicity and stability )

What can be better ? : Many MI things ..

What can be worse ? : Many MI things ..

It's very subjective , depending of user attempt and level of debload for me, this is why I try to do a MIUI for my usage.

The only thing that disturb me is how settings are arranged ..

Cheers my friend.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] carlosggb:
For what i know so far on the probably eternal Miui vs AOSP

MIUI PROS

-Camera Quality is higher (also on gcam)

-3 finger screenshot works as it should

-one handed mode doesn't break

-Miui things (for good and bad)

-Battery life is said to be better

-screenRecorder is better

AOSP PROS

-Way WAY more control on customatization

-spyware free and naturally debloated

-Performance? Probably to some extent

Hope this clarifies things for some other users

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Speedo.thc:
Hi new version v1.2 based on 9.4.18 is ready:

Install process for v1.0 base 9.3.28 users:

do a data backup (no need to wipe dalvik and cache)

flash the rom and select options you want.

reinstall magisk if you used it before.

boot will update all correctly and take 5mn or less.

After update , your data backup from v1.0 will be unusable.

I recommend you to do another one on v1.2

When ever, if you do mystake and restore data from 1.0:

- you will need to flash again rom V1.0

- boot on v1.0, and after reinstall v1.2

Install process for new users:

wipe datas, install an choice options

if your device is protected by Miui account

you will need a wifi to access setup menu.

Nota: even if you don't setup a google account,

some apps will be downloaded without your autorization, like calculator.

Having now twrp 3.3.0 with custom rom and oreo firmware the steps to put this rom and upgrade to the pie firmware would be:

upgrade the firmware to the pie version

do wipe

install the rom

quite right?

2: what firmware do you have now ?

3: what was your previous ROM

5: are data and cache ext4 or f2fs

I can just suggested to do this:

Switch to blackpitch recovery, do format (not wipe)cache and data's , I use f2fs for better performance.

V1 get 600+ downloads ago, and many get booted or they didn't tell me.

Edit : also check md5 of your download.

Thanks I will try with another ROM, thanks for the help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Saicoth:
No luck for me. Installed the rom after flashing latest global pie firmware. It's stuck in an infinite boot, it's not frozen though, the 3 dots on the bottom are animated but the boot never completes. Waited more than 20 minutes.

- I used OrangeFox recovery

- Arb 4

- AOSiP Pie

- M1803E7SG (It's written on the back of the phone)

Using f2fs and I also tried booting back to recovery and wiping cache/dalvik and data, still same infinite boot.

Thanks for your effort though.

Edit: I wanted to try pitchblack recovery but noticed that MTP doesn't work, which is strange. Good thing I made a full backup.

Edit2: Almost thought I bricked my phone. The unlocked status no longer appeared on the bottom of the boot splash, no vibration, no MTP. My old ROM booted after restore but the phone still wasn't recognized by

my PC. So I downloaded 8.1 non arb fw from march and flashed it. Everything works now like before. Shouldn't have flashed that latest Pie fw.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] eanaranjo:
I happened the same, I was in REV OS with 8.1 with arb 4 and twrp 3.3.0, with an infinite start, if you manage to install it, you help me to know how you did it.

I have to go back to revolution os
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Saicoth:
Arb shouldn't really matter here, just be careful when flashing newer firmwares, don't flash previous firmwares after those, unless it's a non-arb fw.

I flashed latest pie fw with arb but in my twrp backup I had oreo. So I kinda semi-bricked my device, good thing it booted back into the rom and managed to download a non arb oreo fw.

Hi,

It seems that the artemis Radio is compressed using BCL.

The Radio image is composed of several blocks all starting with "BCL1".

When splitting the file, it is possible to uncompress each block and reassemble the blocks.

There seems to be more information in the file, like :

/gsm/MELOCK/SIMLock

/gsm/MELOCK/Service

/gsm/com/ALSlock

/gsm/com/rfcap

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] yadon:
Hey guys,

This is probably a strange ask but I'm sure most of you have had to deal with this annoyance before in some way or another with one of your phones. This isn't just limited to Pixels.

Basically, every time I flash a new ROM or reflash stock, most online services (such as Play Music / YouTube Music, etc) think I am accessing it from a new device. See this image:

You'll see many "Google Fi Devices" but in fact, I'm only using my one Pixel 3. For most services, this doesn't matter, but with some who have a device limit like YouTube Music, after a few reflashes I would have gotten to my device limit even though I'm only using one.

Is there anything I can do during the reflash process to preserve some sort of device identifier or something to prevent this from occurring? It would be extremely useful :) I'm assuming the device may be resetting a MAC address or something every reset, which might be how these services identify which device you are using.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
Are you preserving your data with flashes? I am not sure as I do not use any service that asks for this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] abranson:
I think I found a way around it. Google play music support asked why I factory reset my device after each update, as it registered as a new device on those, and I lied and said I am a developer.

Hello,

I am coming from Samsung Note 8 and Sprint service. You are able to tweak the apn settings with shortcut app to enable hotspot. Lte functionality does not show up on the moto z3 play. Is there a way anyone has been able to enable hotspot? I searched google and this forum and have not seen any mention of it. I am on 8.1 oreo. Thanks. (carrier unlocked usa model)
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] waynestatemac:
It's very easy to get tethering to work on this phone. I'm on Sprint too. First you have to be rooted. After that install a build prop editing program, which can be found in the play store. Add the following line into your build.prop file

"net.tethering.noprovisioning=true". Save the file and reboot. Stock tethering should than work.

I would highly suggest that you also try out the Fabio Tether app on the play store. It's a paid app but you can run a vpn program on your phone and than run the fabio tether app and have all tethered data run through the vpn.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Forgot to mention that if your on a Sprint or Tmobile unlimited plan it's always best to run a VPN even when not tethering. If you watch youtube you can watch it in full HD 1080P with the VPN on with no buffering (dependent on how good your local tower is). Without the VPN they notice your watching youtube and slow your download speed so really only 480P runs smoothly.

I found the Z2 Force airplane mode hotspot workaround no longer worked after the Oreo update unlike every other Moto phone I have including the Z3 Play.
