Potential Google Pay fix

Hi everyone,

I just scrolled through the custom roms section on the 4pda forum, and saw someone showing how to fix Google Pay on BeastRom (and possibly on all other custom roms). I don't use Google Pay so I didn't try, but for those who are interested, here's the link: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=951210&st=440#entry87133328 (you need to open the spoiler on the post)

It's in russian, but I believe some Google translate is sufficient to understand the steps.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stoffelsen86:
Battery life is ok, almost the same as in MIUI for me, something like 4-5 hours SOT. I don't need anymore because at the end of the day i'm in the car with fast charger. Also i don't use 4-5 hours screen everyday. So for me it's more than enough. For me there are no bugs. I use face unlock. It works good, not as fast as in MIUI but it works very good. When you want to use fingerprint together with AOD i know there is a bug, you then have to use fingerprint twice. Littlebit strange.

Kernel is 4.14.83-BEAST. I don't know if this is a custom kernel. I guess it's just normal Cepheus kernel. Also i don't know if there were customisations to it. I never had any errors while using it. Also i installed ANX camera with 48mp fix so i can use portrait mode and all the lenses just as you have in MIUI.

There are also themes available which are nice. Furthermore one thing was important to me and that's the use of gestures. It is available from in the rom so i don't have to install an extra app for it. I also didn't root the phone. I also like things like recent apps configuration. To have a memory bar in the recent apps.

Notification light is also working. Both for charging and for notifications.

Enough information? :D:D
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] munky-head:
Aye. Thanks, sir!

I'm not that good in seeing photo quality. So i can't really tell you. I do like the quality of the ANX camera. And most important to me is that portrait mode and all lenses work.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh1ft3r:
It is Pix3ify, I experienced the same thing. I was blaming PE Rom for it :) Then I found out I experienced it with only magisk flashed. Deinstalled modules one by one and tested each time. Then I came to the conclusion that the Pix3ify was causing my youtube to be laggy with BT headset. And my Twitch streams were not showing a picture only sound.

Without the module everything will work as it should.

Did anyone test this rom with an Android Auto head unit? Does it have the same behaviour as PE (needs reboot after Android auto use to let the screen function normally)?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Sorry bud, don't have an aa head unit to try for you
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Try last vendor, maybe you solve
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Cheers, have done that with a clean install but it was still the same. Solution was easy : under network setting, changing preferred to lte/cdma

For others wanting to know about battery, I unplugged it 8 hours ago and still have 70% left with an hours screen on time, mostly browsing and about 10 mins playing a game.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badaas:
80% after 8 hours during doing nothing in my car...

Back to ROS I think.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Oh really!? Not great for you, you on the latest vendor 9.7.19?

I'll agree, the battery life could be better, but for me it's the most stable and customizable rom, better than the current lineage or pe
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badaas:
9.7.19 yes

I made a tasker profile to turn off Nfc and WiFi, will see what happens now...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Roderick XDA:
I agree this Rom is so Stable better than PE , LOS , Viper, Mokee even Cdroid ,

I love it ♥️♥️

Are you using magisk? If so, which version?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Try bitgapps (search on xda) instead of opengapps
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Yep, I love it too! Bearing in mind the latest 22/07 build is a test build, so hopefully battery will be better when stable is released...

Ok, will try. Thanks.

nano gapps from opengaps is what I installed.

Will try bitgaps as suggested by HTCDevil and see how it goes.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
I think it's magisk, I needed magisk canary build from xda to get it work. Nano gapps or higher should be fine, I'm using micro.

Try uninstalling magisk first, gotta be easier to try that than to reinstall the whole rom and apps again
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badhon_raj:
It worked!

But face unlock is not as fast as it was with MIUI?

The OS overall is fast though.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Nah, it is a bit slower... Sorry if that is a big downer for you but I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the thread already...

Try magisk canary from xda, a quick Google will bring it up along with the latest apk

How slow are you talking? For me it's like a second or less slower.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badhon_raj:
found magisk canary.

yes it is like a second.

But i was really impressed with the speed it previously had. It felt like instant.

I couldn't even see the lockscreen most of the time before.

Now it hangs in front of my eye for a second.

So two downer for me so far :(

1. fingerprint doesn't work in AoD

2. faceunlock slow.

In case anyone is wondering about battery life, today I got 15 hours up time, 5 hours sot, including about 30 mins gaming (a light game). I'm happy, as long it last the day its fine by me. Still got 10 percent left. This is only the roms first day, so may improve slightly.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badaas:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badaas:
Do you use fingerprint and double tap to wake screen?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KaiseRRUby:
Yes and face unlock. Sometimes its even lower, under 1%.

I do also use LKT from Magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badaas:

Can anyone tell me if anyone is running magisk 19.3 with 22.07 version of this rom, coupled with 9.7.19 vendor AND with faceunlock working? Last time I tried face unlock stopped working, but am curious if anyone has got it working...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KaiseRRUby:
Me. Works like a charm.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Cheers, and magisk manager 7.3.2? For some reason it wasn't working for me. Will try again in a mo! And is it magisk 19.3 stable or 19.3 beta?

Nope, no dice. Tried beta and stable, face unlock doesn't work. Did you do anything special that you can recall to get it to work? Did you flash magisk as soon as you flashed the rom? I flashed it after...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kekez71:
Not magisk beta or stable install magisk canary apk after open magisk and install canary directly from apk
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Thanks but I already know about magisk canary working, I'd just rather have a more stable build
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KaiseRRUby:
If i'm not mistaken, magisk is flashed with the latest test build. I dirty flashed it over the second latest build where face unlock indeed didn't work.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] corystes:
Lost connection with O2 while 3 miles offshore - in full view of Bournemouth, Poole & Swanage. Came ashore, still no connection. Drove 4 miles home, still no connection. Only re-connected after power off and re-start. Had similar connection drop once before.

Is this lack of re-connection usual, or is there a fault?
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Sorry for the belated reply. If you haven't yet resolved this issue, there are some remedies you can try. Sometimes, while traveling abroad, or otherwise outside of the normal coverage of your mobile provider, it may be necessary to change your band parameters within your cell radio menu. (To do this, open your dialer and enter *#"#4636#*#* and select PHONE INFORMATION from the list of options. This menu provides pertinent and technical info regarding your cellular radio (baseband), and gives you the option to change your preferred network type and band configs) But to start, I'm not very familiar with the O2 network; from my rudimentary research, it appears that its 2G, 3G and 4G coverage is vast and quite impressive overall as a global provider, claiming a 99% global 4G coverage area. So, I am in full agreement with your position -- that the disconnect you are experiencing is abnormal. Try these possible remedies:

• First and foremost, let's make sure your network configuration is optimal for O2's voice and data parameters. There are a couple of ways to do this, with the simplest being from device settings. Go to Settings>System>Advanced and select the option for Reset WiFi, mobile & Bluetooth. (Ensure that you are within a strong 4G coverage area when performing this step). Next, go to Settings>Network & Internet>Mobile Network>Advanced>Preferred Network Type. You will see a few options here, the first of which should be AUTOMATIC. Ensure that this option is set. Next you will see a menu for Access Point Names; select this option and ensure that (1) your APN is set to an O2 configuration and, if so, (2) that the parameters are correct and optimal for 02's recommended settings for your particular type of mobile plan and your region. O2's recommended APN settings, as well as a comprehensive how-to guide, can be found on 02's official website at this link:

https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android/Connecting-Android-Phone-to-Data-Services/td-p/544202 It appears that 02 can send the recommended APN settings directly to your device via texting the word ACTIVE to 2020. Once received, a normal reboot will be required.

Hopefully, these remedies will resolve your carrier disconnect issue. It is also very important that you are updated to the latest available Android OS version/build, because updates and optimizations to your radio firmware (baseband) are often encompassed within OTA update packages. If, after performing these steps, you are still experiencing the disconnect issue, please let me know. There are some more in-depth steps we can take to resolve the issue (e.g. the Cellular Radio Menu I mentioned in the beginning of this post.) There are also some fastboot commands which can be executed to more efficiently optimize your network settings to the parameters of your provider. Good luck and let me know if this works.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shisaya24:
Until now most people recommended the Chinese twrp for muiu Roms, and another one for gsi or non-MIUI Roms.

Is your twrp capable of dealing with both?

And what about encryption... Do I still need to format internal storage when I switch from MIUI to custom Rom or from one MIUI to another (for example, from xiaomi.eu to Masik MIUI)?

Thanks in advance for your time answering my questions :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] redispade:
I am currently using this with xiaomi.eu rom

The internal storage encryption problem is due to the kernel security date. If you install a kernel (or rom or recovery containing a different kernel from what you have)with higher security patch than what you actually have, the encryption keys get automatically updated and you can decrypt that storage only with that kernel. With TWRP this is not an issue, as long as you don't use the fastboot boot command. Anyway, in this recovery there are included zips to backup and restore internal storage to usb_otg so you can backup everything if switching roms. Always remember to copy TWRP backups out(or backup directly to usb_otg) because these scripts do not backup TWRP folder.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] guacianiero:

Thank you so much. This was my first time unlocking/flashing anything on this phone (done it on other phones, but never xiaomi) and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Tried everything, including starting all over from scratch with MiFlash, and nothing worked. Turns out this version of TWRP (3.4.0-1) just doesn't work, at least not on my phone. It just constantly reboots back to recovery like you said. Switching to SHRP 2.2 fixed the problem, and everything worked properly right away! I'm not sure if older versions of TWRP would work or when this issue was introduced, but I think I'll just stick with SHRP until this problem is fixed.
