I recently unlocked my Redmi Note 7 to experiment with custom ROMs, and I was totally blown away by the Pixel Experience Plus ROM. I love the Pixel Experience; it makes me feel like I own a real Pixel. I could never go back to MIUI again after this.

So for the first time ever, I donated to an open-source project. I sent a donation to the Pixel Experience maintainers, along with a "thank you" note, and it felt great. I was proud to be able to support something this meaningful to me.

I think we often take for granted the volunteers who maintain our favorite Android community projects. Considering the excellent quality of much of this work, it's amazing that these devs do this for free. Software development and hosting have costs, and these folks have bills like the rest of us, so maybe it might be time for us to start donating to our favorite projects, so these guys can continue their excellent work.

If I could afford it, I'd support all the projects. However, since I can't, I've made a list of the top five that I'm either supporting or intend to support soon.

1. Pixel Experience project

2. Google Camera Port Hub (Celso Azevedo)

3. TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)

4. Magisk (topjohnwu)

5. Arnova8G2 (popular GCam modder)

I'd be happy if you would add your thoughts on this, and maybe share a list of the projects that you're either supporting or would like to support. Thanks for your input.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] NickStaceeJaxx:
Hi guys,

I have a strange behavior and I hope you can help me :)

I recently dropped my Mi5 into the water. :crying: The display didn't work anymore, I found out, that the contact for the display was damaged on the mainboard and ordered a new one.

After installation, the display works again :o

The only problem: As soon as I connect the main camera unit, the device doesn't boot any longer, but lands in the boot loop. I also have a 2nd camera unit and here the same happens. That means the camera unit shouldn´t be the problem.

Did you have an idea, what could be the issue here and how I can solve it?

Like said before it is strange because without a connected camera unit everything boots without a problem into the system.

Thanks in advance for your awesome help :cool:

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] TekCoco:
Android 10 on Mi Max 3 (nitrogen) work ? Really ?

The answer is ... No

Why ?

Because the firmware and the vendor require a update to android 10 Q.

And when ?

Currently there is no date scheduled for the update.

That they compatibilities ?

The Mi Max 3 is compatible with :

- TREBLE ROMS (OREO AND PIE)

- STABLE MIUI 10 (OREO AND PIE)

- BETA MIUI 10 (OREO AND PIE)

- BETA MIUI 11 (PIE) (XIAOMI.EU)

- XDA MI MAX 3 ROMS THREADS

Thank you for reading, I hope to have enlightened you on the subject.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] hd_scania:
Do you really know what is Treble? Treble honestly doesn't touch your bootloader (vendor interface) at all which you're upgrading your ROM (end user interface),

so if your bootloader has been at least 8.1, due to Treble you just directly flash your Treble ROM, this comes faster for your further upgrade process.?

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] dancress:
I'm kinda stumped. I know most phones have tinny, crappy sound out of the box no matter how good the headphones are. The 9T is not different in that regard. Since I won't live with that, I still root just to install V4A (it's a scandal this tech hasn't been bought up and is being put into phones by default).

Now, with V4A installed and working the 9T gives off fuller sound but it sounds terribly processed on the verge to distorted. As if the CPU struggled somehow to keep it up. Which is, of course, not possible because V4A has worked flawlessly since the times of yore and Kitkat.

I know for a fact my Jabra 65T can do better, very much better. The buds shouldn't be the problem. I have yet to try with wired ones but I'll need to find my good pair.

Additionally, the BT connection doesn't have a problem with a wall at my home but becomes unstable when I carry it on the left side of my body (the BT receiver being in the right bud). I'm not a fat cyborg full of metal parts.

What gives? Any ideas?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] fitzy73:
Not just Bluetooth, even pistons through the jack are very poor. For comparison, I played the same track on BT and Pistons on my 9T and on my wife's OPO6 and hers is significantly better.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] hwandroid:
That's long talk. I'll try to explain it in short. Honestly Xiaomi MI9t performs great sound through earbuds, I just googled your earbuds you are misleaded in information with earbuds and phone relations, your Dynamic drivers are 6mm for Jabra 65T that's poor actually, it depends on kind of music though if you'd listen to Heavy Metal that won't work much because they are too weak. Secondly, electrical resistance for your earbuds is 16 Ohm, what that means? That means higher sound but with more distortion possible depending on dynamic drivers of your headphones which are too small and they cannot handle such a big electricity stream perfectly, also less Ohm reflects on your phone battery devastation. For example my Bluetooth earbuds Huawei AM61 Sports are 32 Ohm in electrical resistance that is optimal it is not recommended more than 32 Ohm for basic use and they include 11mm Dynamic drivers, in conclusion they are x2 cheaper than your earbuds but x2 more powerful, I listen to Heavy Metal with no distortion at all. For the future I'll give you a hint, look for headphones specifications inside but not the price.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] dancress:
You might be onto something. I do listen to Metal mostly, but I have tried Minimal Techno etc for reference. It sounds much better. Clearer. More defined bass instead of the muddle actual music sounds like (sorry Techno fans ;))

Anyway, I come from the very midrange Samsung A50. The only completely positive thing I can say about that one is that it sounded quite OK even without V4A. Not sensational but very much into the 'acceptable' field.

Guess it's time for the big can sound-off. I also have very good RHAs with cables (stupid at the gym) and cheap-ish Sony BT ones.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] yaro666:
Price is not what defines quality of headphones - for example Dr. Dre - specification and physics are what you should look after.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] dancress:
Well did some further testing with my other headphones and another phone.

Cheap Sony BT cans? Cool, very bassy which I like.

Wired RHA super cans? Very cool, audio bliss.

Jabra Elite 65T? Crap no matter what I do

Different phone, older Samsung whatthehellever:

RHA cool, Jabra cool, Sony cool -> all as far as their individual quality goes of course, so the RHAs win easily here too. BUT the Jabras produce good sound, something I know they can do because it worked with every other phone I ever connected them to.

It's obviously a problem between the Xiaomi and the Jabras. And here I thought BT is a mature standard ;)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] dancress:
In case anyone is interested: the solution is to activate the AAC codec in BT/Jabra 65T. How the hell is this not active by default?! Why would you, as a phone maker, default to the worst possible way to send music to headphones?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] hwandroid:
That is because not all headphones support AAC for more details you may check this article https://www.soundguys.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-bluetooth-headphones-aac-20296/

before July2019, all custom roms were Vendor dependent! but now like Pixel, all roms have their own vendor but still need firmware from the above link to be flashed saperately

1. flash firmware in twrp

2. Flash new rom (lets say CR DROID / or AOSIP etc_)

3. flash GAPPS (pixel has gapps included but other roms don't have ! (gapps.org)

4. flash kernel (optional) (i use Franco kernel)

5. flash DFE (disable force encryption treble) - if you don't wana get locked out while trying different rom!

This is a last ditch effort for fixing my Wizard:

A couple weeks ago it had an unfortunate meeting with a river. It wouldn't turn on. Since then I have opened it, repaired it, and gotten it to turn on and function --EXCEPT-- the phone part. The sim is recognized at first, but within 1-5 minutes (regardless of movement, usage, etc.) the sim is no longer recognized. Sometimes the phone reports "Searching for signal", but usually it reports "no sim. insert sim". Does anyone have any advice? Please? I'm stuck with a Tornado until I figure this out! Thanks in advance.

Have you tried another Wizard compatible sim card? You may have damaged you original card. Just go to a retailer and ask them to temporarily boot you up with a new card and you'll know wether or not your sim card is to blame.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rowdyone:
I have used the below method to save a number of phones that got dunked. Most importantly is to use anti-static protection when handling it after you open it. Yeah, you gotta open the case to get the moisture out. (Note - Nokia is like a tank and I won't argue that this or that Nokia worked fine after being dunked without taking it apart. I already know it does)

I keep a usb cable handy that is cut and use it to ground the device after I remove the battery. Using canned dry air I empty the can going over and over the circuit boards with special attention to the connections for the buttons and video.

I have a dehumidifier just for the purpose of running it for a week with projects I am working on so next I setup the dunked phone next to it and forget it for a week or two. On expensive items I have gone so far as to put it inside a plexi-glass box that has a vent hole cut the same size as the intake of the dehumidifier to concentrate the treatment by putting them together. (I live on the gulf coast and get a lot of business on fish-finders and such). Once or twice during that time I check my work to remove any droplets that may appear due to condensation that has not evaporated.

The problem with using heat is that it will simply evaporate water that is inside connections and so on but if there is not an easy exit for that water it will not come out. You remove the moisture from all the surrounding air and the moisture inside those connections will slowly leech out.

Replace the battery. That is normally what fries the device when people turn it on. Water gets inside the battery and shorts it out, then it ZAPS the device. I repeat. REPLACE the battery or everything else you have done is likely to be a waste of time.

Blah, blah, blah... Yeah, I am sure there are gonna be people that "had no problem reusing the battery" and yes there are exceptions to every rule. There are also just as many or more that had problems with the device or it failed afterward and they did not know why and it is for them that this is written. (Can ya tell I have written this before in a forum? heh heh) Mostly the batterys that are not affected will be the ones that are a plain battery but this is not the case with a smartphone or pda. Many of them actually have electronics built inside the battery for protection and those electronics are also damaged by the water. I am sure that some are not so equipped but when it comes to such a device, I prefer to err on the side of caution.

Anyway that is about it. Cheers!

Hi guys, i need help.

was using my phone this morning and suddenly it restarted itself.

the phone passed through boot icon and went to "almost" into launcher screen.

my phone is rooted and thought that it might be due to software, hence i flashed stock firmware into it.

so now it is in stock rom and stock recovery.

but the phone still restarts.

it will still pass through the boot icon and since it is fresh installed, it goes to the setup screen, but from the the phone restarts again.

it seems like it restarts everytime it finish boot.

thinking that it might be screen issue, so i go into (stock)recovery mode, i try to navigate around in it by going to wipe phone, install from storage, and the phone doesnt restart.

please advise what might be the cause or issue since i had already flashed stock rom, so i guess rom isnt a problem, and phone doesnt restart when it is in recovery mode...
