so the fingerprint enabled renders the phone unusuable as a daily driver?

Is this a kernel issue?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] ermacwins:
Can't register fingerprints it thanks it's for the back. Somehow passed that but it don't allow you to register any prints.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] DiaboSenorita:
One bug:

If ambient display is Always on, when one turns off screen, the screen flashes for a split second before showing the ambient display.

As it happens in rr rom.

And I can't find Smart Pixel. The searching in Settings shows it should be under Battery, but there's none.

Have you tried the 0812 build? I went to check on the link and there is no latest build indeed..
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] divxfan:
Yes, Now is build 0812 and DT2W is working.

Did someone tried this on K20/Mi 9T? So basically, everything is working fine, except FP and D2W. Beside that it's awesome. Comparing it with AOSiP on my Poco.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Jeik:
New build up.

- AOSiP upstream

dt2w does work.

More details on your setup and how you flashed it

Provide logs too if possible.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] DiaboSenorita:
Everything works well. Front camera, fingerprint, dt2w, etc, except that the screen flashes before showing ambient display which should be always on.

I have switched from rr to this.

Could we have edge gestures and wake block in aosip too?

---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

Yes it does with mine too.

When you turn off the screen and the ambient display is Always On, do you find the screen flashes a bit before it turns to ambient display?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] juvevood:
yeah,it's my bad. everything works fine!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] dave6771:
Using this rom for about a day. Hands down, its really the better one! Only encountered 2 problems. Incoming call while device locked, doesnt light up the screen and afterwards you cant unlock the screen at all, its just dead. And dt2w works if enabled only for 1-2 unlocks (or maybe 5min?) then it doesnt react to double tap. Otherwise it would be just perfect! Cheers

PS: phone restarts when wifi hotspot enabled everytime

PS2: In case someone wants to try it, overclocking 75Hz mod works well with this ROM.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] overcustom:

Battery?

Overheating?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] dave6771:
3 fingers scanned and working as it worked on miui, battery seems good, but cant really tell now, as Im still playing with the phone a lot and was restoring.. No overheating for me.

I disabled the ambient display option - wake up for new notifications and show when charging. I can see my incoming calls again
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] dzontra83:
I just started using this Rom, everything seems to work excellent: FP, dt2w, Bluetooth, hotspot, gestures, and is smooth as hell. The only thing really missing now is 4k video recording, and this rom wild be perfect. Thank you developer for this great ROM
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Chr0m3Chaos:
I don't get it. I followed the directions to the T when it comes to flashing and every single time it just boots directly to Fastboot only with this ROM. Welp. Sadness and sorrow.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] dave6771:
I flashed it through LR.Team/wzsx150's TWRP and no issues at all
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] DiaboSenorita:
I flashed it thru orangefox and i didn't even flash 10.3.16 before it.

My advice is to format data, if that's not inconvenient.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Chr0m3Chaos:
Alright, here's what I did exactly just in case I'm retarded or something lol:

1.) Formatted data (where it asks you to confirm with "yes")

2.) ADB Push the MIUI ROM to /sdcard/

3.) Flashed MIUI ROM

4.) Rebooted to Recovery to "set" the flashed ROM (I've also tried rebooting into the system, setting it up and then going back to recovery)

5.) Do a Factory Reset as per instruction (Data, Cache, and Dalvik)

6.) Rebooting to Recovery again

7.) Flashed AOSIP

Every single time it immediately boots to Fastboot as if I have just formatted my whole phone again and there's no system partition.

Ummm...?

P.S: And yes, I am using TWRP-3.3.1-0529 by wzsx150
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] dave6771:

1) flashed V10.3.16.0.PFKCNXM via MiFlash 2017.4.25.0 on my Raphael

3) swiped to factory reset

Can we use Gcam port, which camera app comes with this builds?

thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Robbo.5000:
I fastboot flashed twice before revisiting this thread to see if anyone knew the problem.

Still checking everything out. As yet not sure how much of an improvement it has over Havoc GSI, that I was on previously. FP is still hit and miss. Will clean the screen and my fingers and try registering again. When FP works it's quicker, but still hit and miss as to it recognising the fingerprint, certainly not close to the same stock, as others have suggested. Going through the settings and ROM specific menus, I've had a handful of soft reboots - the launcher seems to crash and relaunch, rather than completely rebooting. Once I've got everything setup how I like, I'll see how it goes as a daily driver.

Clean install on top o xiaomi.eu stable 10.3.6

Wipe data

install rom

install gapps

install Magisk

install DecScript-Universal-v2 (in order to avoid encription on TWRP and the need to format data)

reboot

Everything is working, still soon to say but no SOD or any other issues.

FP is working not as good as stock, but it also fails a lot in stock (imho)

I have ambient display always on disabled, i only like show on new notifications and pickup device (no pocket mode active )

There´s only one issue i´m facing, the sound is bad in ringtones, alarms and nots. (lol) media sound works great dunno why

BT sound is working, dual speaker mod working youtube vanced, viper4android every runs smooth.

Only thing that is not working properly is the camera even on ANX mod (portrait mode crashes) Gcam works but i feel stock cam looks better.

Thank you dev :)

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] alex9yust:
if the flash drive is larger than 32GB, then the manager from windows formats ntfs or exFat. at the windows command prompt, you can run FAT on a large flash drive, but it will format a long time and break.

yes, something is wrong with me.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Nimueh:
I know HOW to format it - thanks though :D

But since all roms for this device say exFat isn't supported and and someone told me that Fat32 IS exFat I wanted to know which filesystem to format it with.

If Fat32 works fine however then I'm good - the 256 GB stick came formatted with Fat32, as did his smaller brother with 128 GB :) :good:

I would however prefer NTFS due to the support for bigger files ... will that work on this device with those roms?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] alex9yust:

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Nimueh:
Thanks - someone told me Fat32 was the Windows version of exFat and that confused me lol :o :angel:

Luckily I still had the contents in a folder on my PC so I let it format the USB stick and then copied everything back. My 128 GB stick with Fat32 caused no issues at all, but I want to use the larger one with this device.

But no, NTFS is definitely NOT working - at least not with a 256 GB stick. :(

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Airbag888:
Hi guys,

S7E Exynos International 935F here.

Is it possible to temp flash TWRP just to install Magisk?

Is it possible to flash anything useful using stock recovery? (Which seems to happen after booting with vol up+ home + power and waiting for abit)

Will the modded/patched boot image trip knox?

Main objective is to do a titanium backup, wipe the phone, reinstall minimum stuff + app data for that minimum stuff.

Will a ROM like Black Diamond be considered custom and thus trip knox?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] trancazo71:
TWRP = trip knox.

ivoryroot ( Xperia) for Samsung?

I think not, knox is not drm keys
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Any custom binary (whether twrp or samsung based custom roms or aosp based custom roms) will trigger knowx bit..

And no you can't install anything useful in stock recovery. Twrp isn't that heavy lol. You can keep it because it is 1000% more useful then stock recovery : )

And no, you cannot even flash magisk without twrp ; )

Want twrp-less root ? And a systemless too like magisk ? Try cf auto root- create your own root file (you can choose system less option there! ) and flash it using odin, other options like magisk or super su require twrp..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Airbag888:
[MENTION=8204134]shah22[/MENTION] Thanks!

Sorry if I'm being thick.

You mentioned custom binary - do you mean firmware or does that include recovery?

I was under the impression that installing systemless root like magisk (or as you mention cf auto root) would not trigger knox and also be hidden from detection from google and/or banking type apps

My main reason for root (temp twrp) would be to either be able to do a nandroid of my system or titanium before having to wipe everything. From what you're telling me that's not going to happen.

I went through a bunch of root-less apps like smart switch for example that never saved application data, only the apk

Would you say there's a custom ROM that offers several features similar to stock but performs better with better battery life and is mature enough to be a daily driver? I saw Black Diamond but I'm cautious and I realise knox will blow but right now outside of s-health I don't think I have any 'knox' data

Anyway thanks for your time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Flashing any firmware or recovery NOT signed by samsung triggers knox bit irreversibly, so flashing anything other then samsung stock WILL result in knox being triggered.. so now you know bruh xD

Any root systemless or not, any rom which is modified will trigger knox. Till now there is NO root method which doesn't triggers knox..

If you want fast stable rom, you can try black diamond rom yeah.. but i will recommend flashing latest stock oreo rom for your region and then flashing twrp+magisk plus debloat it and add any other mods you want. This way it may get less bugs then custom rom, and maybe more stable and faster, upto your preference..

And yeah, triggering knox causes samsung pay, secure folder / encryption to not work properly.. some other samsung related services and some banking apps too..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Airbag888:
Haha that does clear things up thanks! :D

I used to try/flash custom ROMs back in the day (think nexus 1, S2, S3) then got too busy (2 kids popped up plus more work responsibilities) to delve into the community to keep up on what can and cannot be done.

My biggest gripe right now is there's no 'stock' method to nandroid where you actually save application data =\

Anyway I also naively thought you could push a custom recovery not to be flashed but just to run in fastboot so you could perform the nandroid / other stuff.. guess not

I do appreciate your advice on the way forward. I wonder if I can easily copy my s-health data to g-fit for example and be done with it :shrug:
