[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] doggydog2:
testing Pixel Experience 20190626

installation super easy: miflash globaldev 0530 (clean all), sideload ROM, root on exit by L.R.Team(R) TWRP. That's how i imagine updates will be.

- (android matter) first thing to check : magnify 3x delay is still there, when will they fix this.. will have to use the button, therefore use navbar

- (android matter) power+volup to switch to silent mode, ok, but you can't resume with the same shortcut - wtf

- ui felt so slow, had to turn off animations straight away

- search result animation is there, thanks xiaomi to disable this in your horrid MIUI

- no good notch cutout solution (exclusive to OnePlus apparently)

- lot of free memory in the beginning

- no custom app, very little customization, but at least can switch to pill navbar for QuickStep technology to replace the default pathetic home launcher

- swift boot keyboard (this one is horrid in MIUI)

- live papers with location - sounds interesting, loved MIUI 24hr wallpaper

- AOD with app icons is there, no limit to apps

- battery charging AOD/lockscreen/LED indication is there, but no details like in crDroid

- typical AOSP

fingerprint problems

:

1) light stays after alternative login - not detected (some folks did detect)

2) light blocks kbd letters on boot/lockdown - DETECTED (use swipe into letter method)

3) doesn't work on AOD screen - DETECTED (and AOD fp icon is therefore useless)

4) lockscreen fp login is slow or doesn't react on 1st attempt - DETECTED and it's the worst of all ROMs (help: wait a second or two on lockscreen)

- lockdown is therefore working (unlike in MIUI)

- now let's do

brightness tests

:

1) brightness ramp - very responsive

2) brightness deramp - delayed in a correct way

3) brightness max by simulating direct sun by pro flashlight - passed (unlike latest ROS for example)

4) brightness react early between AOD and lockscreen - passed (this is important to be able to login during the sunny days)

5) brightness on low leves not respected - not detected

6) brightness sometimes ramps to max - DETECTED (quite often, hard to simulate exactly why, i guess it might be linked to fp login "flashscreen" effect on AOSP ROMs)

7) brightness cannot go too low - DETECTED

- more

AOSP glitches

:

1) status bar battery icon too tiny - DETECTED

2) status bar battery icon charging status invisible - DETECTED (grrr, cannot be less visible!)

3) USB OTG broken when switching control device/mobile - DETECTED (but works after reboot, in flokoROM it NEVER works after)

4) QI charging animation also on AOD - passed

5) double tap to wake sometimes not reacting - passed

6) premature locks - needs time to test

7) autorotation stops working later - needs time

8) pocket typing issue - needs time

9) settings search slow - passed

10) doze gestures problematic - passed for Pickup (with appropriate sensitivity, unlike GSI), not working for Proximity (never seen Handwave working in my life including Samsungs; Pocket mode is useless as it's picked up by Pickup) so it's overall fine, wakelock effect needs time to test

- very nice transition of lockscreen to AOD screen (time letters)

- very few quick tiles compared to crDroid or even MIUI

- no call recording possible using any tweaks, com.android.dialer missing and it's hard to replace. This is 1st ROM with this issue after 100s of flashes (to much Google hurts!)

- encryption works in TWRP

my feeling is GSI got so much overlied that it causes troubles like reported in the test log for flokoROM. i like this Vanilla approach, but wish for more tweaks, for example Oxygen also feels vanilla but brings more settings. Two major showstoppers: brightness maxed too often, fp works on 2nd time mostly, adding third one: no call recording.
