Hi Friends,

Before 2 Days I purchase Redmi Note 7s and Hates MiUi and Ads.

I am already using AEX On Redmi Note 4 and wants to install it on Redmi Note 7 also,

Please Help Me For Following doubts

1 : Bootloader Unlock Process is Same As Mido ?

2 : Dm-verity Is required for AEX (99% No) ? (https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/)

3 : Best Custom Recovery Link (As Currently We Don't Have Official TWRP)

4 : Mandatory To Format Data ?

5 : Camera Performance (Picture Quality Compared To MiUi 48 MP Camera), Portrait Mod etc (GCam Link or AEX Default Is Enough ?)

Please add Force FP Authentication thx.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Gueztar:
1. Well, every xiaomi phone were having the same process. Just bind your account with the phone in developer option, wait proximately about one weeks (most user get this waiting time before they could unlock)

2. No Need. Refer to OrangeFox recovery thread, sec post and read that README.md. you will get information about why we shouldn't flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip

3. I flash AEX comin from MIUI with Orangefox.

4. No need. I coming from MIUI Global & MIUI EU > AEX without format data, not facing any such error.

5. Default is not that great, GCAM does. But, most of the rom include aex, if you enable cam2api. You cant use whatsapp video call. Disable it and vc will work. Dont worry there's HAL3 swicther inside, u can use it as ur need. GCam by BSG and Bulkin043 works great. Bugs were just lagging Slow Motion.

Okk thanks bro

Thanks bro you cleared my all doubts,

Any major bugs in AEX Pie..??

Any other ROM suggestions..??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] hk96:
Most of the custom roms don't have any major bugs. Try a bunch of it and use which suits u.

That's the issue.

Bro trust me, use Magisk Props Hide Configs and change Fingerprint to Pixel 2, then disable Device Emulation as well.

This way you get ArCore and Normal security patches.

smooth and great battery backup

battery from 82 to 15... means 67%

give me almost 7 hours of SOT in 17 hours of total use

everything I need in my phone works flawless...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] hattorihansou:
Hmm... he stated something different.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AmulyaX:
That's what he meant when he said 'It does'

It does affect the security patch string, how can a module revert the changes made in security patches lol.

It's literally merged in sources and then built with it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AndroBuddy007:
Well you've got it messed up. What he said, was true, but that is a Different Module for once. I am talking about another Module, whose purpose is different.

Catch up on what's actually happening, you seem bit confused.

Hello, just wanted to ask a few things about this ROM

1. Can I encrypt my phone on this ROM?

2. Is privacy guard preinstalled?

3. Does this ROM have signature spoofing (I want to put microG on the phone)?

4. OrangeFox is the recovery I should use, right?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] vexa:
1. Sure. format your data before installing this ROM.

2. Yes.

3. Not sure about this but I was able to use microG (from opengapps) just fine. if you're unable to use face unlock just remove (or move) 'lib' folder from root/system/app/facelock.

4. Yes, I'm using it right now along with latest aex and latest genom kernel (for f2fs)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AndroBuddy007:
3. It's not micro Gapps, it's microG and it's different. You got this point incorrect.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Joeprime14:
Does this rom support usb gamepad
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] hk96:
1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes, I use microg for logging into YouTube vanced.

4.yes
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] vexa:
oh dang it. sorry never use microG before.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] roxomary:
My device is getting dual boot. Redmi logo >Aex logo > blank boot >aex logo again and after that finally get to system. It's normal?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] hattorihansou:
Hm... ok. Didn't know about the difference and especially about the technical aspect. Just wanted to share the information.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] dd721411:
My phone does the same thing. I don't usually look at boot screen so really have no idea when this started happening. As long as my phone works properly, I don't care much about this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] indidipha:
Okay, but the boot is getting longer than usual. Thanks for answering.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AndroBuddy007:
You have Secure Boot on. It means Data is Encrypted.

Use Format Data option in OrangeFox recovery inside the Wipe Menu. And reflash ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] indidipha:
Ok, it's make sense . Cause my twrp get encrypted , but i can decrypt with my original password.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fried Keyboard:
Thanks for the help, guys!

I had a few more questions:

5. By microG (this) I meant the open source replacement of Google Play Services. I read that it requires signature spoofing to be able to fake Google Play Services so I was wondering if it works on this ROM. Speaking of microG I also found something called NanoDroid which installs microG from the recovery, have any of you tried it out?

6. After flashing the OrangeFox zip file do I also have to reboot into MI UI once or do I just reboot into the recovery and start installing the ROM?

7. When I start installing the ROM do I have to both Format Data AND Wipe Data, System, etc or just Wipe? I heard that Formatting Data removes the encryption but I should be able to reencrypt from the ROM itself, right? Also, I read the guide made by the developer of this ROM and he said that I also have to wipe the Cache after installing the ROM. I didn't see that step in any other guide so I was wondering if it's necessary.

8. The order of flashing zip files is : ROM, Magisk, anything else, correct?

Thanks again!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AndroBuddy007:
7. Yes, full Wipe and follow as mentioned.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Use OrangeFox recovery, TWRP causes issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fried Keyboard:
I know, but do I also have to Format Data? As far as I know there is an option to Wipe Data in Wipe and then there is another option in "Manage Partition" to Format Data, do I have to do both?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AndroBuddy007:
You're using Orange Fox right? There's a button saying Format Data in it. Use that, then Advanced Wipe
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] vexa:
5. hell yeah sorry I didnt know what microG is and that was silly. Never use any of these (except youtube vanced) because I need google services. I love getting raped by google. like literally.

6. Nay, it automatically reboot to OFox and you can start to use OFox right away.

7. Formatting data is mandatory. Wiping other partitions isn't necessary but it's recommended. wiping cache does nothing harm to your device, I love to wipe my cache because its mostly trash and temporary files. similar to 'temp' files on our windows PC.

8. here's what I usually do:

format data,

reboot recovery,

wipe cache, dalvik, system, data, internal,

flash firmware

flash ROM

flash gapps (If you need it)

flash kernel (Only if you need it for like f2fs, otherwise boot to system at least once before installing custom kernel.)

flash magisk (if you wanna root your device - which is a must)

wipe cache and dalvik

reboot

And I have zero problem. not even with encryption. If your device fail to encrypt, boot to system and don't create any form of pin/pass/pattern. charge your device to 80% and encrypt your phone from settings > security > encryption. :cyclops:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fried Keyboard:
What do you mean by "flash firmware", it's the first time I heard about it, is it necessary?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] vexa:
kind of. read more about it here
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fried Keyboard:
From what I understand it basically updates the drivers, i think.

Will I break anything if i don't flash it? I want to flash as little stuff as possible since I am a beginner and don't want to go over the top.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Riky Many:
Yes, basically it's a collection of low-level drivers collected from the official miui releases and packed up in small-sized zip.

The installation is fast, painless and provides the rom with firmware specifically designed by Xiaomi for the RN7.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] vexa:
Drivers, modem, etc. You won't break anything if you don't flash it, but some ROMs can only be installed on latest firmware. You'll get an error installing these ROMs if you're not on latest firmware. I always flash it because some devs don't even bother to tell us which firmware update is required (and it's always nice to have all the latest stuff)

Don't worry, follow my instructions and you won't break anything.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] lebenskuenstler:
Yes I tried it. The setup is a pain in the ass. After you flashed NanoDroid, you have to enable Spoofing in your ROM for MicroG in App Settings, than manually update from here https://microg.org/download.html, grant Spoofing rights for this app as well, and grant via adb shell rights manually for Location:

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

And follow the steps for setup inside MicroG app.

Then it should work, but many things can go wrong untli then. Be advised that many apps for online banking, payment service may not work properly on rooted phones or with these replacement GApps.

In consequence I rather leave pico GApps unconfigured and use Auroro PlayStore replacement with anonymous login. This is much easier.

If you still want to try, I hope this might help you :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Nitz327:
Format your data partition, this will wipe your internal storage as well.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] robbayani:
me too.. last night change AOSPE to Xiaomi.eu.. i must "Format Data", thats mean erase all my internal storage.. duhh..

this bug "Decrypt/Encrypt" is anoying, because i far from pc & i not have SDcard(for saving rom.zip, gapps.zip etc.. also i'm using dual sim)..

its heavy for me that hobby change custom rom, i'm afraid if required "Format Data" again when change/flash other rom..

in another device "Format Data" olny required when change Miui to other Cusrom.. Cusrom to Cusrom not need Format Data..

Someone have idea or trick to avoid "Format Data" when change rom??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] whalesplaho:
Changing custom roms doesn't require format data atleast for me... But i do remove security password/pin before flashing new roms, so i just wipe system/data/cache.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fried Keyboard:
Why do I need to install another version of microG, isn't the one provided by the NanoDroid developer good enough?

I don't want any gapps on my phone, the big reason I am even installing the custom ROM is to remove all the proprietary stuff I can (including any kind of gapps) but still make apps work and microG, I heard, is the best way.

Anyway, should I just install MicroG manually from F-droid (Without flashing NanoDroid)? It sounds a bit easier to do.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] robbayani:
no need wipe vendor?? coz i'm always wipe vendor >.<..

btw i see almost cusrom for RN7 in rom.zip there are vendor, not like my previous RN3 cusrom..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Kaldun13:
It is much easy you imagined.

1. Use orange fox recovery

2. Backup your data

3. Format data yes, wipe dalvik,cache,system,data

4. Flash ROM without gapps

5. Flash Nanodroid 0.27

6. Flash Magisk

7. Clean caches

8. Reboot to system, go to settings>apps>permissions>verity spoofing. Show system apps and check microg and fake store.

9. Go to microg settings and setup unified NLP.

Than check if everything works well on microg checking.

As you see it is very easy to setup. For my apps it works well. Lucky you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] whalesplaho:
Yeah there are vendor, i think cos of tha firmware or so.... I wipe vendor bro.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
1. Changing from AOSP/LOS/CAF to any kind of MIUI would almost certainly require formatting data

2. Changing from one custom ROM to another custom ROM may or may not require formatting data - see point #3 below

3. On this device, there are different Pie encryption protocols, and they are not always compatible with each other. If you move from a ROM using a different encryption protocol from your current ROM, you will need to format data, because the pin/password will always be considered to be "wrong" by the new ROM. Some ROMs will just cheerfully format and encrypt without telling you, and you will have lost all your internal storage.

4. Moral of the story -

never

change your ROM without first backing up your precious data and internal storage. You may be lucky to escape trouble - but it is never far away.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] robbayani:
1. on RN3 as far as i remember format data only from miui to aosp/los/caf.. ehh.. sorry if wrong, because long long time i'm not using miui.. because too many cusrom & custom kernel on RN3 that very2 stable.. so,no need miui..

i'm back using miui again when i have RN7(2week ago), because all cusrom & kernel for RN7 still new/young, still far from stable, need more time to stable..

2&3. based your knowledge what your opinion about Pie encrypt on this device?? is Bug, advantage or disadvantage??

btw is only happen on RN7??

4. i'm never doing this as long as 3year using RN3.. i'm not worried about Encrypt/Decrypt or "Format Data" on RN3 :D

likely for now i must have SDCard or OTG for backup my data.. still confusing about this device..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
2&3: You have no option but to use encryption on this device - otherwise, pins/passwords/fingerprint will not work. Whether it is a disadvantage or not depends on your personal perspective, and how risk-averse you are. It might be a good thing to be compelled to have your device encrypted. But, IMHO, this device is seriously broken and fragmented as far as encryption is concerned. The problem is possibly with the Pie firmwares but it is entirely possible that the problem is at the hardware level. This is no kenzo, and it is no mido or vince - they were painless, and did not care whether you are encrypted or not. On the other hand, the RN7Pro (violet) and Redmi7 (onc) are almost as problematic as lavender on the encryption side of things - but lavender is in a special class of its own.

4: If you value your data, you had better get used to backing up your internal storage to an external device - else there

will

be tears. Lavender is very fussy and very flaky. You need to treat it with tender loving care. Daily backups to Google Drive (or whatever is your favourite cloud storage) would be

very strongly

recommended. Most custom Pie ROMs allow you to do automated backups to GDrive, and MIUI has it Mi Cloud. Use them.

Don't be lulled info a false sense of security by your experiences with the RN3. You should never even try to compare them.

Finally, while lavender may be new, it does have some good, stable ROMs, and an active dev community. In another 6 months or so, it will have more stable ROMs than you could possibly try. It is a good device - if you know how to treat it.

PS: much of this is OT in this thread - and we should not hijack the thread with OT discussions.

Thanks to dev for this fastest ROM I've ever checked.

May you consider to boost microphone level ? For conversations it is ok, but when you grabbing video it is no so good. I tried to change kernels with sound settings like genom or evira, but it is not so speedy like native kernel, and don't support GPS in my case (microg) Otherwise its very stable ROM, thanks again.
