... having read so much positive experiences for this ROM I am heavily interested to flash it (currently being still on stock ROM MIUI Global 11.0.5) for my Redmi Note 8T. At the very first page you have a warning "If you use Xposed, please don't bother reporting any bugs". Does this mean use of EdXposed Framework via Magisk (see: https://www.the***********.com/install-xposed-framework-on-android-using-edxposed/) with MSM Xtended XQ is a bad idea? Does anybody have already tried it?

Thanks a lot for any help.

Hi Guys, I've just installed this ROM and really love it!

In order to easier transfer the apps from my previous phone (running under Android 5.1) I tried to use the respective "update.zip" function of Titanium Backup Pro, allowing me (theoretically) to flash a zip-file containing the apps directly via the TWRP-recovery. I created as a first test a zip-file containing only 4 apps and flashed this file. Immediately after the flashing the system reboots but the apps are NOT installed. I have no idea whether this might be a problem related to the ROM (Xtended-XQ-v11.5-ginkgo-OFFICIAL-20200726) or to the TWRP (twrp-3.4.0-0-ginkgo-willow-mauronofrio), thus mabey this request is here off topic and I should re-post it in the TWRP-thread?

Anyway, every help is mostly welcome!

Dear guys,

having read the comments on TrCamera and ANX camera I wanted to check these two options.

However, when installing and opening TrCamery the app immediately crashes. I suppose because I did not (and do not want to) install any GAPPS or microg etc.

Thus I wanted to check ANX camera. I read in the post immediately above that this app is already part of MSM but I can't find this app after having flashed "Xtended-XQ-v11.5-ginkgo-OFFICIAL-20200726". Or am I wrong (or blind)?

I would be very grateful if you could give me a little help how to install ANX camera (which files, addons etc. - if needed) and/or TrCamera without GAPPS.

Thank you in advance...

o. K. thanks for the explanation!

One other question for the Mi cam settings: there is an option to let the cam save the pictures to the SD card (what I would prefer). However, if I activiate this tickbox and leave the settings to take a picture this option was not applied. If I return to the settings the tickbox is again unchecked.

Any idea for this behaviour?

hi

first of , "Thank you so much for the Rom . truly it's awesome , The best i have tried so far"

so i'm having problems with updating the rom

i have installed the rom v11.5 and also downloaded v12.5 through update settings of my phone . when i hit the "Install" button , my phone prepares the update till 20% and then restarts . now my problem is that after restarting it goes directly to TWRP and asks for password to encrypt partition - i think - and after i enter the password , TWRP opens up and i have to hit "Reboot To System" and my phone starts booting the rom and after , when i check the rom version , it's still V11.5

so do i have to download the newest version manually and flash it or is there another way ?

again , thank you for your hard work guys.

PS : sorry , this is my first android phone and i don't know much about this stuff.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pavello:
Update should have done successfully as your device is encrypted. However, you should always use Orangefox recovery instead of TWRP. As it has many advantages over TWRP. As of your concern, do a dirty flash manually if you're on latest firmware. If not then you need a clean flash.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] xawlw:
I've got reports about that but there is nothing I can do about it as I've no idea about what's causing it
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] asextor:
Hey , I installed orangefox recovery and tried to install the update , still after reboot , recovery comes up and asks for password to decrypt the data . I also enabled forced encryption and verity... - I don't remember the full name - something and still got the same issue . The only thing left is to flash the new version .

Also , when I was trying to root my phone for the first time , in the guide it said that I should flash "disabler Force encryption.zip" but I couldn't because the file was updated to something else and in the flashing process it would produce an error . Anyway , I was thinking that maybe that's the cause. And that's why I enabled forced encryption in orangefox recovery but I think that it only works after I flash a rom and it doesn't do anything when it's enabled after the rom is flashed . So do I got it right ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pavello:
Ok the reason is that you've an earlier version installed and now you're trying to install a complete new version of the rom. Your only option left is to format data if you want the new version. First, backup your data. Then, if you really want your data decrypted then first format (not wipe) data enabling the two options disable force encryption and dm variety. Then go to wipe section and wipe dalvik, cache, system, vendor and data and install the rom. You will be okay. You only just need to do it once. And if you want to stay encrypted the just format data after installing the rom. The boot will be succeeded.

Remember, if you're decrypted then you've to manually flash OTA through recovery every time and check force encryption and dm variety before installation.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pavello:
Thank dev... You've done a great job btw. One question, should I flash a custom kernel? If yes then which one?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] asextor:
Thanks for explaining

So if I want to keep changing the ROM - until I find the right one - or update it or install new things through recovery , it's better to stay decrypted . But if I want to lock everything down then I should encrypt it . Right ?

Thanks for the recommendation! Indeed I used GravityBox under Lollipop but the developers of MSM Ext. do not recommend to use (Ed)Exposed. Or do you have good experience with GB in MSM Ext.?

If not, my question aims for a different solution e. g. another app or implementing it in the ROM.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] loopypalm:
all devs don't recommand it not only MSM

i already tried it and it's stable unless you do LOT of customisation (or ones that are already in the rom)

i use it for ram bar and battery tile info and some other minimal tweaks

(i work with it in MSM 12.5,because MSM 13 use more ram)

for what you want to do , i don't think it will mess things up ,just make a full backup just in case ...

other app = if i remember correctly : xposed edge pro (also xposed module)

implementing it in the ROM = no more possible , this is the last A10 release of MSM , next is A11

Dear developers,

in another thread an option is shown to periodically update the firmware of the phone:

=====

All Xiaomi custom ROMs users complain from a single problem, which is the firmware updates. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release, and developers who provide updates to devices may forget or be busy sometimes, so releases are provided later. Here comes my solution:

Xiaomi Firmware Updater (Redmi Note 8/8T)

A set of various scripts that automatically generates Xiaomi firmware flashable zip files every MIUI new update!

My scripts download MIUI official ROMs, both Developer and Stable, Global and China, extracts the firmware-update folder, generates firmware flashable zip with auto-written "updater-script", and uploads them automatically to many servers.

The scripts are completely automated, running on a Linux server every six hours.

=====

Is this FW-updating recommended or necessary if using your MSM Xtended custom ROM or are FW-updates part of your ROM-updates (or not deemed necessary at all)?

Thanks for a short info!
