[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ObsidianSage:
Can someone help me get root working? Still getting bootloop

Steps I've taken

1. Wipe all except internal storage

2. Flash PE ROM

3. Format Data, 'yes'

4. Reboot Recovery

5. Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip (should I be renaming this?)

6. Reboot Recovery

7. Flash Magisk-v20.4.zip (should I flash this before or after Dm-Verity?)

8. Wipe Cache/Dalvik

9. Reboot System

When rebooting to system it boots twice. It shows the Redmi+Google splash for a short time and then reboots, get to Google splash but it never gets to initial setup.

It'd certainly be nice to have a step-by-step for noobs like me. I can get root ezpz on MIUI but PE (and custom roms in general) is proving to be a constant headache of bootloops.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ObsidianSage:
Can you describe the steps you took to get it working? I'm still getting bootloops
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ObsidianSage:
Disregard, I've moved to Havoc OS and was able to get root on the first install. Don't know why PE is such a fuss to deal with, but after ~10 attempts I'm done. Happily rooted, SafetyNet passed, and fully working cameras (ANXCamera) instead of fighting with this ROM.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Shreejoy Dash:
If it's a headache for you then yes choosing some other roms is best for you. Best of luck with future.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Shreejoy Dash:
Just incase you want to see that Pixelexperience is doing good just you don't know how to deal with it properly
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ObsidianSage:
That's absolutely fine. I admitted that I don't know how to deal with it. If you check my post history I had already asked a couple weeks ago, willing to learn. I have read almost every page of this thread and searched "magisk" and "dm-verity" and read every post. Up until today I've ran your PE rom w/o root, but very much wanted to get root working for it. If you feel like this is a personal attack on your work, then by all means feel how you want but that is not my intention. I set aside today to once again try to LEARN how to do this correctly, spent about 3 hours reading through this entire thread AGAIN, trying to get the lightbulb to flick on in my head. It's interesting how you have something to say about this, but can't be bothered to even see my previous post and maybe help me "deal with it properly" when I listed the steps that I took and looked for advice.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Shreejoy Dash:
Ok I didn't read your earlier messages

Sorry.

Recently I am experiencing some serious personal attacks of my rom dunno why so any negative message hits me directly.

So if your case is legit then listen

1. Get the latest rom from download.pixelexperience.org/ginkgo

2. Make sure you install the recovery correctly, you can find the guide of it in the respective threads. (I am sure there will be some guide on how to deal with verity)

3. If you are coming to PE from any other rom then format data, wipe system vendor data internal storage cache and dalvik

4. Install the rom then the latest firmware you can get it from

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/ginkgo

5. Now let the rom boot up and if you did these correctly it should boot up fine.

6 . Then you can come back to recovery and simply flash magisk or whatever you think is needed. The steps are as simple as this.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ObsidianSage:
Many thanks, I had no idea about the firmware, or at least haven't seen it mentioned in a way that caught my attention. This also clears up in my mind the order in which I should perform these operations. I will give this a try tomorrow!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ishure:
very happy with this ROM

easy to install btw

i have one problem with last build

when watching youtube on chrome (not in fullscreen, auto rotate off) the whole screen is freezing when i suddenly rotate the phone (the rotate icon on left down corner appear)

do we have a fix for it sir?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] haivu461987:
I only have a cheap redmi note 8 with 3 GB ram and everytime i do something, the animations so much lag, with stock miui 11 rom. And when i trying to unlock bootloader and install this rom, OMG every animations smooth and my phone run like a flagship expensive phone :) Thank for team developer, you done the best job !
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] RxnkN00b:
Amazing!

This ROM is simply amazing. I tried several ROMs before this one and the result was that any of them wasn't comfortable and effective for either daily use or gaming, but this is completely efficient, fluent, and powerful.

However, I wanna suggest re-organizing the OS branches. The situation is that when I was trying to download the firmware, I encountered "10 - 10 (Plus edition)" then another 3 branches "Full packages, incremental..." What I'm trying to say is that's pretty confusing and even more if you aren't clear with the characteristics and features of them.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ChazyBhai:
There are some bugs in this stable version, when im in call screen gose completely off and its really annoying.

When i turn on Ambient display, the phone starts frezzing everytime... Fix this bugs plzz... And thank you
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] legolas91:
After update phone are freezing a lot of timer, then i cant do anything and i need to turn the phone on again.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] marbutina:
I have not problems with the screen during the phone calls. I use it at work and I receive a lot of calls during the day.

Where's Ambient Display option to test?

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

No problem here. I did a clean installation.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] moralesnery:
Same issue. When phone enters deep sleep (stays locked for some minutes) notifications stop coming and screen won't turn on when power button is pressed. Phone overheats a little and the only way to solve this is to keep the power button pressed for 10-15 seconds until the MI logo appears again.

Some times the phone reboots itself, but most of the times I had the issue the only way was force rebooting the system. Otherwise the ROM is excellent, but this bug forced me to go back to MIUI until is fixed. I've read that this issue is also happening on the LOS unofficial ROM and HavocOS, Syberia Project users reports no issues (I'll test it tonight) and it seems that Paranoid Android Q3 doesn't have the problem.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] CMPR47:
Same issue.

In the house, the device worked well for a day.

On a walk, the device turned off twice in three hours.

It helps only a long hold on the power button and the device turns on.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] germankw:
The same thing happens to me, but I must say that with the original rom (MIUI) the same thing happened to me, and especially when I leave my house, where there is WIFI, and the network freezes and I have to restart ...

Otherwise it is a fabulous ROM, what's more, I am a security guard, and my cellPhone is a working tool, if I am left without a signal it is dangerous, so totally grateful to Shreejoy Dash and his team ...

Thank you...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] RxnkN00b:
Kcal compatibility ?

I'd like to change the colour values, so does this ROM have kcal compatibility? If not, what do you suggest for doing this personalisation?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] CMPR47:
After a series of experiments, I determined that falling asleep is really connected with data transfer. This does not happen in the house, but when the wi-fi signal is lost and the device switches to the mobile network, it is possible that a deep sleep occurs. In any case, the problem lies somewhere in this area.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] legolas91:
it rather has to be related to wi-fi or data transfer. at work, I switch between warehouses and each warehouse has a wi-fi router. then my phone goes into a deep sleep, when it loses coverage and connects to the next

Raise to wakeup is not working

Raise to wakeup is not working on PixelExperience_Plus_ginkgo-10.0-20200610-1024-OFFICIAL build.

can anybody else confirm?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] user_id_0001:
I have the same problem as yours.

After being locked for some time, the screen can not be lit up again by pressing the power button, or it can be lit up but has no reaction to finger touch on the screen.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MrohanK:
Albeit it might be a singular case, just wanted to inform:

I was installing the ROM the usual way: I have the latest firmware and twrp. Deleted everything up until internal storage (dalvik, cache, data, what not). Then I flashed the ROM but twrp warned that no OS was installed.

I tried 10 plus edition, May version.

I can't say I didn't do anything wrong. I might have missed something. Yet you may check it out just in case, as it doesn't seem to be a common issue.

It was my second attempt to install. Previously I installed easily and liked it, yet couldn't return to this time because of this. Again, it probably is something I did wrong, but wanted to let the people know.

The first time I used, though, it was pretty sleek and nice. Thanks for the good work!

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dirtling:
Installed latest build on my Ginko coming from Stock following this instructions (except wiping internal) and all is working fine, none of the bugs described in any of the other comments. Maybe these instructions should be added to the original post or the one below.

Thanks for your wonderful work and as long as you keep updating I'll keep running this awesome rom.

Bugs with dialer and camera

Hi,

I like to ROM but have 2 bugs

1 - The camera uses the macro lens and I don't see any way to choose the others.

2 - Phone calls have the sound coming from the speaker even when not on speaker mode.

Anyone know of solutions to these issues?

Thanks.

BLUETOOTH FIX :- https://download.shreejoy.tech/BT-fix-for-PE-20190618.zip

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Shreejoy Dash:
Everyone give it a break some unwanted Bluetooth issue seems to pop up

We are investigating....
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MrohanK:
Man, please, chill some. You're harming yourself for no reason.

I may tell a short thing: I first rooted my phone back in 2016. My then S2 couldn't work properly anymore and it was the only way out for me. I was damn scared to brick it, as I was poor. Yet managed, after a failure.

I can claim to be smart enough, but "even" I couldn't follow a simple procedure.

There are those that try to troll everything. There are those that are like me - after all these years still managing to do something wrong. There are those that cannot do or get simple stuff...

As I wrote before, I used PE and I liked it. Was gonna go back, yet couldn't - and again as I wrote, it should be a singular case and my mistake, and can't blame any of you that's in the team. But let's for a second think that I was not smart/sensible/ordinary enough and I wrote "damn you, I was about to brick my phone because of you".

What would change? Nothing for those that read here to get what the ROM is capable of and what are its (potential) bugs. That's why at the first post you all write "I'm not responsible for thermonuclear war".

Chill some, really. I see no reason to take things personally. Maybe because I'm getting old, or maybe because I learned not to care about one sentence comments/ideas, I just don't give a damn about both positive and negative such comments.

PE is good. It sure is open to further development, as any ROM including the stock is, and I hope that you'll keep up with the good work. Don't mind the rest.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fvleon:
That has been happening for a long time, it is not something new and it does not only happen in this ROM, it happens in all or most with Android 10, despite the fact that this bug has been reported many times by users, the developers have not solved it.

Just got the Note 8 today - now waiting for a week to unlock....

Wondering (although I skimmed but didn't read all 83 pages) is it possible to flash a nano or pico GAPPS after flashing the ROM? Will it replace the included GAPPS? I don't need or use most of Google's bloatware - it just clutters up the memory and screen.

As I noticed recently that users are blindly mentioning any new behaviour as a bug. So me and my tester Juan came to the decision that we have collect reports those are complete with details such that it should help me or the co maintainer to debug an issue, Hence we are up with a idea of using Google form with all the needed parameters and making it compulsory fill up for anyone who wish to report there issues to me about PixelExperience ginkgo.

https://forms.gle/koXi3NVXtY1dFfkF6

Here every needed details are mentioned with proper descriptions. So from today anyone who wants to report any issue with any official builds of Pixelexperience should go though this form. Use of any other method will be ignored or creating a spam in any of the support platforms will lead to moderators action.

Also the ones who will go though this form should mention things as clearly as possible using ENGLISH language only.

Can't record videos

Hello there, I've been using this ROM for about 6 months now and the february release was working flawlessly, I really love this what you have done here, but I installed the new update and already installed the fixes, anyways I can't seem to find a way to record videos, they are always showing 4 hours or more when i just record a few seconds videos, has anyone else faced this problem? Do you know what can I do to try and fix it? Thanks a lot
