How to install

Hi,

I just wanted to confirm the steps required to get this rom working ( I am currently on stock rom and my 7 days for bootloader is up tomorrow). I have read around and am abit confused on the steps. I am being ultra careful as I managed to hard brick a phone previously

After having installed TWRP, I carry out the steps below, in a previous post.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gr8Tomato:
You need to disable DM verify in order to install any custom rom.

You can also do it from twrp:

While in twrp, open terminal and write

dd if=/sdcard/vbmeta.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vbmeta

Before doing that, place vbmeta.img in external storage.

You don't need to disable forceencrypt? Encryption works just fine.

If you have issues with kernel you can dirty flash the ROM again, no data lost.

I don't recommend using anything else than twrp.

Make sure you flash the right firmware, gingko and willow needs different firmwares.

I recommend flashing xiaomi.EU if you want to go back to stock. Official miui doesn't like twrp and so on.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Bucheroncmoi:
?

So i must be very very lucky to have a custom rom on my willow because i don't do this.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gr8Tomato:
Really? I don't know what to say. Maybe it's not necessary anymore?

Anyway [MENTION=7813190]mg712702[/MENTION] can try to flash custom rom without disabling dm-verify if he wish. This won't brick his phone.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TapaSte:
me, too, never done so. :)

There is no need to flash a disabled vbmeta as we already shipped rom with disabled vbmeta

I am on stock rom and have not used the phone at all yet, its brand new. So when I do a wipe, isn't it 'cleaner' to also wipe everything Including Storage ? There is nothing I want to keep.

Also are there any steps I need to take before doing any of this, so that I can always come back to stock rom later if I want to ?

I tested the rom it is my fav rom so far but the only problem i faced is the audio quality. All roms i tried had good quality audio but this one is even worse than stock... Please fix it its not smooth at all especially with poweramp

*The latest update you said "audio improvements" but i preferred the old.. Can u please tell me how to change it back? A flashable zip or anything

Yup it works...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mg712702:

nope stock miui will still be there if i were you i flash xiaomi eu, its miui with less/free bloatware, when you have twrp or custom recovery flash any custom that available and see what suit you the most lol and never go back to stock miui atleast i did that. miss miui? just use xiaomi eu

Hey I'm supper thrilled with this ROM, everything I've been using seems to work perfectly. My only issue so far is that USB debugging is not requiring authorization when connecting to a new computer, I don't know if that's by design, as in the stock ROM it did and in PixelExperience (my previous ROM) it did as well. If it could be enabled that would be great as I would not have to turn it off every time I use it (for security purposes).

Either way thank you very much for your work, I'll be posting my other findings.

Yes bro i even don't want stock miui but i only wanted to know that if we flash vbmeta in twrp for the first time and reboot without installing any custom rom then will we able to boot into stock miui .... I assume it will not create any issue ... But can you please explain why some people getting system destroyed ??? What's the reason behind that

And is it important to flash vbmeta ?? What if i don't flash it

Download from sourceforge (or from phone updater) is terribly slow, so slow it takes less time to build the rom than to download it. Is it just me?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 12hrzn:
it will not break the system

copypaste from mrmazak

"Android systems have gone to what is know as avb type system (A.ndroid V.erified B.oot), which means the system knows when the factory supplied software has been changed. The message you received basicly is just telling you , "hey this software is not the same as when it left the factory"

The system know this has been changed by checking files signature information. This signature is stored in a separate partition. The "vbmeta" partition.

When you use any modified system, you are supposed to tell the vbmeta partition to ignore the changes.

You do this by flashing the vbmeta.img to it's partition with a command to disable verification."

Excellent ROM!

Hey guys! This ROM is one of the best overall cutom ROMs I've used, and any far the smoothest on this device.

However, there seems to be something that I'm not figuring out how to do, and that is the OTA updates. For example today I got a notification with an update, I downloaded it, albeit with very slow speeds, and after it prompts to restart to recovery the phone restarts, goes into recovery, I input the password to decrypt and nothing happens. I was using TWRP. I switched to OrangeFox recovery to see if the issue was with the actual custom recovery being used, but it still doesn't work...

Does it work for you guys? What do you think I might be doing wrong?

And if the automatic flashing doesn't work, how can I do it manually via recovery? I can't seem to find the update file when I look for it...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 12hrzn:

OTA for me isn´t working. Yesterday my phone show OTA update ready so I downloaded it and then phone ask for rebooting to TWRP and install OTA update.

I allready have. During clean flash I did => format DATA => reboot TWRP => wipe SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, INTERNAL STORAGE => flash ROM + Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt + GAPPS + MAGISK => reboot. All works fine.

When OTA came as I wrote before...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] 12hrzn:
i think OTA doesn't working read the dev answer in the post #394, other user have same problem like you if you want to update the ROM better doing it manual

-Flash crDroid update

-Reboot & Enjoy

But the guy wrote nothing happened. For me update going through but during booting up to the system it fail and reboot to the TWRP (official)...

cant move brightness slider below qs tiles

hey dev, good rom, excellent stability, only problem is that in 6.5 i could move the brightness slider below the qs tiles in the qs menu but in the latest release, 6.7, i cant do that. it was a great feature for the big phone and id love if you added it back if you could :)

also the brightness in general is lower in this build for some reason, i always have my phone on half brightness slider and its bright enough but now it seems dimmer in this latest build. thanks.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shadefoundry:
Can't speak for the change to the QS Menu, but my understanding is that the brightness in general is lower because of a flaw in the screen these phones have. Basically the panel itself needs to display at 90% of what it's capable of brightness-wise or the panel will begin to deteriorate a bit and you'll start to see burn-in, which is a very bad thing if you want your phone to last. Having the max possible brightness limited like this prevents that issue, and from what I can tell every ROM that's been released/updated since that issue was discovered has incorporated this change. Just put your brightness up a bit if it's really bugging you.

Encryption

Is encryption enabled by default? Just flashed this rom on my 8T after removing MIUI and phone is already showing as encrypted. I don't have to enter a PIN immediately on startup like I used to on older phones, but still have to once the phone has fully booted. I also have to enter my PIN when loading OrangeFox recovery. I don't mind just wanted to make sure this is intended?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mg712702:
