Clean installed but it doesn't detect any Wifi and hence doesn't allow to pass through the setup. Stuck there. Any Suggestions? (Formatted Data already) (All clean (even Internal Storage and everything))

Edit: If we don't decrypt after TWRP install, it seems to work fine. For those who are facing the same issue as mine, try not to decrypt after installing. Worked for me then.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Tianhe:
Apparently there is a different decrypt zip for pie and flashing oreo decrypt will cause this mess. Also the new TWRP is supposed to support native decryption so maybe you can try that.

WiFi not working...

Last firmware 340..
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
sorry, just my 2 cents;

after read all posts here, and predict that this thread would be filled by many posts later on , I think the explanation on the Original Post should be made clearer & more complete, like (from posts I read until I write this) ;

*The required firmware before doing this (should be 340 ?)

*The right (links to the right) files of required "TWRP, decrypt, and magisk" for doing this.

*The 'effect' of what will lost after doing this.. (Google 2FA perhaps? what should we do about critical —tied to a firmware state— apps like that?)

that, or maybe more...

and, personally I'd like to ask you who already do this;

"Is this pie really works smoothly and 'worth it' now?

(I read that the previous pie version before was not smooth & not really worth it compared to the original Oreo or other Custom Pie ROM for our phone. How about this one now?)

What are the minuses (and pluses) you found with this firmware?"

Thank you for the OP and all sisters & brothers here :)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] 8vasa8:
I can't answer if it is better or not but I can provide how to do it. I went from 340 but if you will do clean install like me it doesn't probably matter what version you are using.

So I had 340, decrypt, TWRP 3.2.3-0 and magisk installed.

HOW TO DO CLEAN INSTALL FROM OREO TO PIE:

BE CAREFUL: Apps and data from internal storage will be deleted.

***HOW TO PREPARE:***

1) Backup all your apps and files from internal storage.

(You can use Titanium for backup your apps and after just restore them like Google 2FA etc. It works)

2) Update your TWRP to newest version "twrp-3.3.1-1-X00T-20190609.img".

(How to do it https://xdaforums.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-2-3-0-t3888110)

3) Download and put it in your SD CARD:

ROM: https://xdaforums.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/how-to/ota-asusx00t-t3938692

DECRYPT for PIE: https://xdaforums.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/how-to/decrypt-zip-asus-stock-pie-roms-t3923265

MAGISK for ROOT v19.3: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

***HOW TO INSTALL:***

1) Go to TWRP (Power + Volume down) => WIPE => Advance wipe => check everything but micro sd card (you don't want to delete your files in sd card)

2) Flash ROM: UL-ASUS_X00T-WW-16.2017.1905.053-user-modified. Don't reboot after that.

3) Befofore flashing decrypt in TWRP go to MOUNT and check "Vendor"

4) Flash decrypt for pie

5) Install MAGISK 19.3

That's it. It works for me. I hope it will work for you.

Wifi is working for me but there are other bugs. Honestly I am thinking about downgrading back to oreo.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] jassalmithu:
What other bugs? Rom is working great, I debloated and removed about 40-45 apps from system/app and priv-app. OTG works without any tricks too. Only thing needed is way to disable expanded desktop for apps which have it by default. How do I enable camera 2 on this?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:

Hello everyone, a while ago I had a Samsung theme, I do not remember his name well and I can not find it anywhere.

The theme had blue whatsapp, and the tildes were green and blue. They were like the theme of emui 9 but with the accents in blue instead of violet. Thank you very much!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
Two more things: for more battery saving, u can disable automatic sync in settings menu (so sync when u want), and probably after some rebooting, it is possible that the governors will reset itself to the default one. So I suggest you check it out.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AbboodSY:
Really thanks for your concern about battery life stuff, and yup indeed on custom ROMs sometimes we can get up to 10hrs SoT without any mod or even a custom kernel (my experience)!

I'm looking forward to see how long the battery will last when we get Android Q update from MI..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
Thank you very much! If I am not mistaken, beyond the various new functions, the "Extreme battery savings" will return. With an adequate optimization, as above (also to be as clear as possible with any type of user), we hope to see many beautiful new performances :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AbboodSY:
I hope that MIUI 11 will bring some new battery saving techniques as well!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eddywarez:
Thanks for the guide, with it you cleared some doubts that I had, I just have a question, for battery/performace Anxiety can be better than Zen? For what I read the past days is an optimized version of Maple wich gives good balance between battery and performance.

:good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
Thanks bro; Zen and Anxiety are so similar as they are also different. Each I/O scheduler we choose can be the most indicated according to what we do with our device. Let me clarify: Anxiety is better in term of battery saving

comparing

with Maple, "It prioritizes reads over writes but tends to starve writes more".

Zen is based on noop and deadline, very stable and have a great balance, for this reason i choose it. But as mentioned there are no schedulers better than others. But better according to our needs. My advice is to try them both, and see how you are in your daily use of the device :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Battery life is not the only thing I look for. Stock rom batter life is good enough after debloat in many crapps using saki. Stability, functionalities, security.. overall stock rom is the way to go for me at the moment. Did you mention restricting permission on apps?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eddywarez:
Welp, after playing Free Fire for 1:20:00 and PUBG for 4:00:00, a little Browsing, my battery usage was of 76%, I don't use LKT because last time I try it my wifi started working weird, only use Snaptime. Evira 2.2.

:good:

I would like to know what do you think about zzmove governor that was added in Evira 2.3. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] empedocle86:
I tried to use your settings but at reboot all configuration change to interactive or schedutil for CPU, msm-adreno-tz for GPU e anxiety for Scheduler I/O. I guess there are some conflicts with LTK.... I don't kwow how you have 8 hours of screen on your device...

Mate, if u read with more attention, i wrote about it in my second post..

Just reconfig Governor already. It could be happen, is normal
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eddywarez:
Im going to test darknesssched with zen without sysconfig patcher (Had mobile data connection issues), alucardsched give me a little lag in PUBG, when I use darknesssched that dont happen, zzmoove dont convince me, it is based in conservative and hasnt been updated since 2015, for what I know cpu governors schedutil based are more "smart".

Hm, i am locked...and have no kernels installed. And I'm not planing to do it.

Did restrictions and debloat and this is what I get.

Since I am on 10.3.5. my battery is weaker..

On 10.2.7 I had 2 sims with lousy signal, and I was having about 7,8 h of sot and same use.

Now before this tweaks I was hardly getting 5h in 24h

Yesterday I had weaker use then ussual but still, this isn't very good..but I think it is better.

I dont like this 10.3.5.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
My advice is to follow the guide minutely, after applying all settings, enabling battery sav, and if u want try evira kernel, Set the cpu gov or to zzmove (introduced with the Evira 2.3) for more Dozing, or Alucardsched or darknessched for more balance between battery & performance. You will see that you will notice changes, and as always, it may happen that upon restarting the Governor changes itself along with some parameters. So always give us a little look ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] demo0007:
Thank you! But unfortunately I can't unlock bootloader, I won't*

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eddywarez:
Ok, I made a little test to find the CPU governor that suits me better, here it is:

Tested four different governors launching PUBG taking in account the time it took for first screen change and then the main menu.

Zzmoove: It was the slower, taked 33 sec for first loading screen and 1 min 3 sec for the main menu. Didn't try it playing.

Alucardsched: It took 19 sec for first loading screen and 36 for main menu. Playing it has a little lag, CPU keeps in 40° max.

Blu_schedutil: It took 18 sec for first loading screen and 34 for main menu. Playing with no lag, CPU keeps in 43° max. Feels hot at display.

Darknesssched: It took 15 sec for first loading screen and 30 for main menu. Playing with no lag, CPU keeps in 45° max. Feels hot at display.

Alucardsched keeps being the most balanced governor for battery/performance.

:good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DelphinusMinor:

Hello mate, Its very detailed guide thanks! I want to ask you a bit OT question, just because I see you know a lot about this phone. I bought this phone for my gf it has a global version 10.3.5.0 stable, everything is nice with the phone but it has one problem with home's wifi.. its very f****** slow like literally downloading apps or loading pages at 100kbs.. data works perfectly, back in our other home and all public wifi works perfectly. I would assume that is the router problem, but on my phone (onePlus6 and all other family member phones) that wifi works perfectly with no hiccups.. I have tried to factory reset rn7 via recovery, no luck.. maybe u have an idea what could be causing that? Phone BL is locked it just few weeks old, i bought it new. I guess installing custom rom should help, but my GF wouldn't like that cuz she afraid to loose canera quality, so im kind of with locked hands for custom:D damn the phone is really nice. First time in I have such a problem:/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
Thanks for the compliments first :). So, as I see it you have two ways to go: 1) you can try running root with Magisk and install Wifi Bonding & Cloudfare Dns for Magisk and see if it improves

2) to install a Custom Rom, just to see if something changes. If neither of you were to give you improvements, a problem with the network card cannot be ruled out either. In this case I imagine the phone is still under warranty, and you do replace it. As u can image, for this type of problems, various roads must be tried.

Regards and good luck! :highfive:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] meistr91:
Does this phone has fastboot roms? Cuz i can't locate it anywhere? I just found roms flashable via TWRP. In my case my bl still locked so fastboot roms would be nice way to try as it updates all the partitions.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
Actually bro all custom ROMs are .zip file, and in fastboot mode u can flash only img. files. U can flash another MIUI version using MIUI tool flasher, waiting for unlock your bootloader. After u can try to flash custom ROMs and see any improvemets; if it not so, maybe could be a a network card problem,unfortunately. Hoping to have been helpful to u.

Cheers

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klizi:
Some custom ROM's like RR has an option to disable GPS / turn off 4g whenever we get back home (It detects home wifi SSID and triggers the task to toggle the GPS / Bluetooth off)

I don't see that feature in MIUI, is there any third party tool that you can recommend for this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
U can try to use Naptime (For battery sav), and in advanced options u should see a series of options that can do for you

Disappointed

Hi, i tried to follow the guide, i am without root and without removing bloatware. Only whatsapp, Gmail and Skype are not limited. All the rest Is limited in background. REDMI Note 7 Global 4Gb-64Gb MIUI 10.3.4

Disappointed
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LionHeart90:
My guide is for ROOTED Users principally. If u read correctly the guide, u can observe that i mentioned magisk modules like lkt, sysconfig patcher and a custom kernel settings.

You have skipped practically 70% of the guide. Obviusly a non rooted users can't benefit from all the improvements offered. So before being "disappointed". Do two calculations before.

Cheers.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingstar75:
I understand, mine is a personal disappointment not of your guide, clear and complete, I tried that 30% of your guide hoping to increase the battery life a little.

Coming from a REDMI NOTE 5 GLOBAL NO ROOT and immaculate MIUI with 7 hours of screen at 20% of battery, without any particular operation to save battery, I was disappointed also for this that the REDMI NOTE 7 has much less autonomy.

I don't understand this difference between the two .... Same APPs and same use ...

Are there no other ways to improve without ROOT and special apps?

Sorry again if I explained myself wrongly.

Have you maybe used something to restore your old apps and their app data? This can sometimes cause problems on the new phone. If so, try restoring the phone to factory settings and setting it up from scratch. I get vastly superior SOT any day. 8 hours on a full charge in one day should not be an issue on the Note 7, except when gaming heavily.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingstar75:
Thanks for the reply, I started from scratch I didn't restore anything and I can't understand on average I am on the 5h30m SOT and 2 days from the last full charge and I don't use it to play.

With REDMI NOTE 5 instead they were 7h SOT and 3 days from the last full charge
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quaresma_7:
First of all, apologies to the others here for going slightly off topic, as this is a topic for battery life on custom ROMs.

That being said, the numbers that you mentioned in the post above mine are actually kind of expected from this phone on stock MIUI and kernel. It consumes around 10% of battery for an hour of surfing, video watching or light CPU usage with the screen on, and around 0.5% per hour when idle, with the screen off. So in one day you should get around 9 hours of SOT on a full charge, or half of that if heavy gaming is in question.

You should get two days of use on typical usage. I'd calculate that to be around 6 hours of SOT = 60% of the battery and around 20% for the idle hours. The remaining 20% is for the time spent in bright sunlight, so the screen brightness is cranked to the max, then for the time spent using GCam and other CPU-heavy apps, times when you're in areas of poor coverage or when you're travelling so the phone is constantly changing or scanning cell towers etc. Times when the screen is off, but the phone is downloading and installing updates, or an app is holding a wakelock for some reason. Then the battery struggling to actually hold 100% and yourself not really charging up to 100% or going down all the way to 0%.

Its three or four days on light usage. In four days half of the battery will be spent just on idle, simply being connected to a 4G network, synchronizing stuff and receiving notifications. So in four days I'd expect 4 hours of SOT. That's what I've concluded from monitoring battery use and using AccuBattery for data on consuption and averages. Mind you, I usually spend the better part of the day on Wi-Fi and my phone is connected to two 4G networks (two SIM cards), one of them using VoLTE. I'm still under the impression that VoLTE uses more of the battery, so I'm experimenting with turning it off and on, but the measurements have so far proved me wrong, or the difference was negligible.

Can u tell me which apps i should debloat/remove without facing bootloop or any other app crashing. And if i need to downgrade to miui 10 which version should i downgrade to, i want features like fullscreen display and dark mode without good battery life and performance.

PS: i dont wanna unlock bootloader and root any circumstances and loosing access to banking app like gpay.
