Well, according to what is said here in the forum, flashing latest vendor and installing latest firmware is enough. Or flash crDroid on top of xiaomi.eu. I tried the first and I coudn't reboot to system (got stuck on crDroid logo). I didn't wipe system, so maybe that was because of that, I don't know. But here's what I've done.

1 - Flash latest stable eea rom (10.2.9) with mi flash tools.

2 - Flash redispade twrp with fastboot.

3 - Reboot to recovery and format data + factory reset. (If you can't reboot to twrp, flash vbmeta with fastboot)

4 - Reboot to recovery, transfer crDroid + gapps from pc to phone and install them.

5 - Reboot to system. (If you can't reboot to system, flash vbmeta with fastboot)

6 - Reboot to twrp and install magisk + faceunlock.zip.

That's what I've done. It happened to me, in several installs to try different roms, that I had to flash vbmeta to boot to system. It also happened once that I had to flash vbmeta to be able to reboot to recovery.

Kowalski Kernel b1.6a

Hey guys,

just pushed a new beta release to github

Main points:

* Merged Linux v4.9.188 from upstream

* Reverted an old commit in F2FS that was considered harmful
​

As usual, the phone exploded? melted? bursted into flames? you've been warned, dragons ahead :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pengus77:
Guys, seems to me that 4.9.188 drains more than 4.9.187. I reverted to r1. 5 and battery is way happier. Let me know if it's just my impression of if it's worth reverting the update and wait for 4.9.189 to see if they solved this.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] vecino:
Thanks for the info I will wait for 4.9.189.

Kowalski Kernel r1.6 (Infinite Battery Works)

After extensive beta testing I finally got to the conclusion that this is a release worthy kernel, so here it is:

Main focus of this release has been "battery love". From tuning the blu_schedutil defaults, to disabling a ton of useless logging (especially the useless audit spam) and slimming the kernel by almost 1Mb by stripping all the debug symbols, this is a stable base on which to build the next improvements.

So, from now on, I'll start tagging the releases with a nickname. This will be "Infinite Battery Works", how's that for some ego pumping? :D

Download here

* Merged Linux v4.9.188 into MSM base

* Fixed a few wifi issues

* Fixed a possible memory leak in the ext4 driver

* Limited zRam to 1GB

* Rewritten defaults for blu_schedutil with an eye on power saving

* Disabled spammy audit logs

* Stripped all symbols from the kernel (smaller, speedier)

* Reverted an old commit in F2FS that was considered harmful
​

As usual, little disclaimer here, this kernel has been tested for a few days now on a couple phones. If your phone doesn't like it and starts crying bring it to mama, not to me... ok ? :)

Hey hey, just finished another round of tests but this one will be considered a beta for now until I get some feedback.

Download here

* Updated wifi driver to latest caf tag LA.UM.7.8.r1-06700-SDM710.0

* Disabled SSBD mitigations, useless for our phone and quite battery and performance hungry

Kowalski Kernel 1.8 release (moar battery lovah)

Hey guys, this one was a blast. Had to revert all the updates to the wifi driver because they only caused problems and a bit of drain. I'm working on a complete rebase of the kernel with really minimal Xiaomi patches and full Qualcomm opensource compatibility for wifi and audio. It's going to take a bit of time but it will be here for the 2.0 release (no ETA or be fish slapped!)

Anyway, the changelog is quite long and techy, so in few words: MOAR BATTERY LOVAH! Finally getting below the 130mA for idle screen drain and the race-to-idle code has been improved vastly. Included the awesome ZEN I/O scheduler (try it if you please) and a ton of patches to memory and various timings. Also, removed a ton of debug printouts from the whole gpu/drm subsystem. Next will be taking care of the qualcomm battery (spammy as hell too).

Oh, was almost forgetting, hacked my way through the VTS/VINTF logic and found a little loophole. Exploited successfully and now the kernel is compiled without modules support, profiling, auditing and tracing. Way smaller, lots lighter.

Version 1.8 release - Download here

* reverted the update to the latest wifi driver

* disable ssbd mitigations

* mm:compaction: raise priority

* kernel:sched:fair: align periods to our kernel config (100Hz)

* techpack:audio: remove compat code

* mm: page-writeback: tune values for better memory handling

* kernel: nasty hack to bypass VTS/VINTF checks :P

* defconfig: disable AUDIT,PROFILING,TRACING and MORE...

* kernel: build with -O3 optimizations

* defconfig: re-enable BFQ as default scheduler

* block: add zen scheduler

* binfmt_elf.c: use get_random_int() to fix entropy depleting

* net/wireguard: add wireguard

* PM: devfreq: Use high priority workqueue

* cpuidle: don't disable cpuidle when entering suspend

* gpu:drm:msm: convert all pr_info into pr_debug
​

This one is the result of 9 private betas.... it should work for you too LOL

As usual, have fun (but not too much)!

Kowalski Kernel 1.9a beta

Hi guys,

this is a beta, really really beta version, that includes quite a few heavy modifications on top of 1.8, so flash it if you want but be advised :)

The only thing that has changed drastically is the whole wifi stack. Now it's aligned on the bleeding edge NICOBAR tags from CAF. IT works really well and the battery drain is so low, you can almost forget to recharge your phone... BUT.... it could crash, explode, melt your display, glue your fingers together or bisect your brain... you've been advised :good:

But, camera got a bit of love too :)

Download here if you really want to :p

P.S. from now on I won't publish beta releases in the second post, I'll just announce them here in the thread and in the title.

Kowalski Kernel 1.9.1 Release

Hey guys,

it's that time of the week already :laugh:

Sorry for not posting public betas in the meantime but the work done this week has been quite hard and complicated. The way to a full 4.14 integration is getting simpler now and the results start to be really interesting. The new upstreamed and cleaned wifi driver is awesome and the schedutil governor from 4.14 really improves a lot over the older version (especially in our tickless kernel). All the other things are mostly support and tree-wide modifications. Slow and steady, right?

Version 1.9.1 release - Download here

* updated ion, binder and uapi apis to latest upstream versions

* backported schedutil governor from 4.14 with a subset of improvements tree-wide

* backported qcacld-3.0 from 4.14 msm nicobar tree and cleaned it up

As usual, have fun and enjoy :good:

Band Steering and FOD wakeup

Hey [MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION],

please I have questin on wifi modul / wifi stack in your kernel. I have at home UniFi system with 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and on all my devices (Nexus 10, Goole Chromebook, Nexus 5X,...) is working band steering good but Mi 9 SE is most of the time on 2.4 only (5Ghz signal is strong more then 2.4). Is there any "energy-saver" for better baterry live or problem is elsewhere?

Quick beta just to share the latest and greatest updates from qualcomm to our beloved camera.

All works as supposed, so it's here for whoever wants to play with it until I release the next stable.

Download here

* merged tag LA.UM.7.8.r1-06900-SDM710.0 from caf (camera and sched updates)

As I said, this is just a small update on top of r1.9.1, so if you don't think it's worth it you can skip it and you'll get all the goodies in the next release.

Ok I am testing your kernel now (7.2) and 5GHz holding well. Kowalski probably holds primary 2.4Ghz to save more energy. At least that's how I explain it to lay people.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] okitavera:
that's because pengus77 using hardcoded WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini just like krasCGQ's kernel (or maybe they're using the exact same file ? idk).

while my kernel is letting the ROMs (or vendor to be precise) uses their own configuration.

which is make it up-to the ROM itself whether they (or you too) want to support certain features or not (for example: channel bonding, tx-power, etc) :o

and besides, the coverage issue will have something to do with power usage.

if you have good 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz coverage in the same area, using 5 GHz is better as it will retrieve data much faster and let your phone's wifi go to deep sleep state faster vs 2.4 GHz.

but when coverage starts getting worse for the 5 GHz, and not for 2.4 GHz, you may want to switch to 2.4 GHz instead to save some juice.

Kowalski Kernel 1.9.3 Release

Hey hey,

new week, new release. This one has been in the works for a loooong time actually (go look at the dev branch on my github to get an idea) but it's really starting to work as I wanted.

Brief recap of the changes between the last public beta and this one:

Version 1.9.3 release - Download here

* Implement display idle states and expose sysfs nodes to manage them

* qcacld-3.0: Add sme_power_save_api.h include

* Add toggle for disabling newly added USB devices

* sched: don't allow userspace to boost at will

* defconfig: disable misc device and rework a bit

* kernel: implement vDSO64 and vDSO32

* spi: increase timeout to make FOD more reactive

* Bump Linux version to 4.9.192

See, lots of cool things in there under the hood. First, as usual, lots of wifi love... second, FOD speed... third, compatibility with crdroid FOD... and more, lots more....

Let me know how it goes while I keep working on my lineage port. It's going to blow you away but hey, for now I keep it only for me and few selected testers. Want to give it a spin? Drop me a PM and I'll send you a link or a telegram message.

As usual, have fun !

On WinCE platform, there is no taskbar like WM5/6 platform, that's why most of WinCE full

down one line on WM5/6 platform. Also, even WinCE application had controlled backlight

strength in program, but it won't work on WM5/6 platform. That's a story to be born this

utility.

This NavLoader utility provides environment pre-setup before loading Navigator application,

individual configuration file for your perference to load specific Navigator application.

The features also include WinCE full screen emulation and turn on bluetooth..etc by variety

parameters in configuration file.

From now on, you can set up difference preference for your Navigator application, such Garmin

run on portrait mode and power off PPC when exit Garmin, TomTom run on landscape mode and redirect

all audio to bluetooth earphone, you don't need to setup environment manually before you launch

application.

This utility has been tested on WM5 platform with TomTom 6(PDA), Garmin(PDA), MioMap(PDA),

Finean V2.0(PND), PPG VR-ONE(WinCE PND), If you are interested this utility, you may report your

test result of which applications or bugs for next version information collection.

Hello, i'm sorry if it's not the right section, but i'm having a hard time finding sections in this forum, as i'm new here and it's kinda confusing at first.

I would like to thank everyone for their work and effort they put into this world.

Anyway, I'm trying to redeem the IKONIK skin on my Fortnite Account since... yesterday, with no luck.

I have found a method and people confirmed it, but it's not really detailed, instead i've got some problems by following the method itself ( to redeem on a different phone than S10 ).

I have an S7 ( G930F, currently rooted with Magisk, I also tried CF-Autoroot, same problem ). I've edited build prop ( few lines suggested ) to make it look like an S10, checked and edited other things i won't say, because i'm not sure it's allowed, at first i wasn't able to go past the login screen of the game, so i edited a line with build props, which was beyond2lte and changed it to beyond2, i was finall able to go past that login screen and enter the game.

Here comes the problem;

There is NO button in settings, to switch store and set it to Samsung.

I can see the IKONIK bundle, but if i try to redeem it, an error pops up;

" purchase authorization from this app is denied ( something like that ) " with "e100008/6050/com.epicgames.fortnite" error message.

This is driving me crazy, i've also re-flashed the stock rom an insane amount of time, because when editing the model number of the phone with build props, it kinda " lose " the root ( only in that app though, as he think i'm not in the g930F anymore ) so i can't restore backups and edit anymore, and have to flash again.

Sorry, the post may be confusing and / not allowed, but i don't know what to do anymore.

I'm also SURE 100% that it is possible to redeem it from ANY android device.

I just seem to miss a point or something.

Thank you for any input.
