[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Peter the Great:
I think the issue people are facing is that some features used to work and then a new feature makes an old feature stop working. The brightness issue is solely caused by the new FOD implementation, and I know it's not your fault as you didn't make the implementation, but the point remains, there wasn't brightness issues in the past, there were FOD issues. Now they've flipped, there are brightness issues, but not FOD issues. You are perfectly entitled to your vision of YOUR rom, and I hope you don't think people don't respect your vision. That's why I say that I am grateful for everything you've done in every post, even when I get labeled as "privileged" and "entitled" for reporting bugs. It's like taking one step forward and one step back. Of course, YOU get to choose these steps, but if I might add, I never had FOD issues in the past because I always used mi9fod immensity kernel, which has the mi 9 FOD implementation built in, so from my point of view, I always had a functioning FOD and brightness, and now the brightness is broken and FOD still works. I am not asking for anything, I am simply reporting, and the point of a forum is to discuss. So we will discuss. Hopefully you understand what we were saying there are always trolls, or actual entitled people, but isn't it wrong of you to be so rude online? Every post of yours I see caps lock and bolded letters, you even edit your message sometimes to make them even ruder. In my opinion if someone is rude to me, instead of being rude back, I ignore them. That's what I did when we had a tiny argument a few days ago. I decided not to escalate the situation. When you call a new feature that had a big in it "purely beneficial" I just can't believe my eyes, you admit the bug exists but then say there are only upsides to the feature.

I request that everyone here starts being polite, including OP, and follow Wikipedia's guidelines for discussion, which is to always act in good faith and to always assume good faith. It's always difficult to see the tone someone is using when it's just text, so whatever the real tone is, always assume it's a grateful, loving tone. I know I already said that a while ago and you told me that it's difficult to assume good faith because there are too many entitled people, but honestly, I think it's all in your head. I look through this thread, and I see very nice, thoughtful bug reports, and then I see your reply, and it's always something rude, and the same people thank your posts like these over and over again. This fosters a rude, toxic atmosphere in this thread. Let me be clear, you're not the only one who is rude sometimes, I've been rude here too, and many others as well. I'm just giving an example.

This is how I think of this thread:

OP's rights:

-Follow own goals

-Ignore posts

-Reply to posts kindly

-Reply to posts rudely only in the case where it's beyond a reasonable doubt that the person was rude

Our rights:

-Discuss anything about this ROM, period.

In my opinion, just let the discussion flow, you join in when you want, ignore posts when you want, this is YOUR rom, but remember, as you stated yourself, you put this out in public. There's a reason why it's significantly harder for a public figure to win a defamation lawsuit than private figures, it's because once something or someone is voluntarily public, they are indeed open to criticism. And it's always necessary to stop those who criticise unfairly, it's your right to be rude after all. It's just wholly unproductive when the other person was making an honest bug report.

I hope I am clear, and hope from now on these rude, toxic comments will be thing of the past.

Excellent ROM Joey, I don't request anything of you and am humbled by your willingness to give your hard work out for free.
