I am running an AOSP Android 10 custom rom. Is ok to "downgrade" to the latest stable firmware (MIUI 11) by flashing it in TWRP before installing PA? Or does MIUI have to be flashed in MiFlash?

Update:

Prev installed Quartz3. Downloaded the needed Firware for GINKGO, Goto TWRP, clean System, Vendor, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Next Install the china firmware, then install the Quartz4, reboot. Working fine.

After reboot, Magisk is not installed, so Goto TWRP again, install the latest Magisk, reboot. able to boot propertly.

Tested right now using Quartz 4, but unfortunately, my LDAC supported Speaker only outputs AAC (Which on Quartz 3, it outputs LDAC) :(

Until now I had this sound problem where there's a lot of noise in headphones, is it fixed in this update?

Edit: Sound is fixed TY

Also, very please, could someone guide me in identifying which firmware I'm on at the moment (willow, PA Q3) and guide me to updating it if necessary?

Please help me, I lost bluetooth microphone audio with Quartz4! Was working fine with Quartz3.

Any suggestions on something I can try?

In phone audio it works, but in video conferencing with apps it doesn't.​

Scratch that, after the vdeo conference call was interrupted by a phone call, it started working again... I'll update or post again if I can reproduce it again.

I am on Quartz4. A few problems

1.How to switch off sim2? (A must feature for me)

2.How to delete google search bar at home screen bottom? Where is setting of default launcher?

3. I Flashed V4A by magisk but It is not processing.

4. Can you include hide app option in AppLock feature in next update? I used to love that in miui

OTA Updates need a backup?

Hey guys! I just wanted to know if we update from quartz 3 via Ota or local storage do we need to back up everything? Will it wipe all the data?

Also thank you guys for the amazing work and support. Absolutely love this rom, been super stable aside from some random freezing when I lock my phone and keep it in my pocket. I believe it has something to do with the GPS. :confused: not really sure.

I am on ion os android 10 how do i install quartz 4 in my redmi note 8?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kaem84:
1. insert the second SIM card and see what happens

2. you can't do that in pixel launcher. Try another launcher, such as Lawnchair

3. you must switch selinux to permissive mode using the appropriate magisk module
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
In the case of v4a it could help to also install audio modification library from magisk, if it's simply not processing but installed fine.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] RuiMSeabra:
And it got borked again. For a fleeting moment I had microphone audio again, and it got lost without any noticeable reason why.

I tried fiddling around the bluetooth developer options, making sure the defaults were on, trying changing one option at a time, nothing.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] adithya2306:
I use v4a too, flashing "Busybox for Android NDK" magisk module fixed it for me. Permissiver is not required.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
I already knew that and said nothing about permissiver ... :confused:
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DrG95:
Can't help for 1 and 4, for point 2 I'd just use a third party launcher and for point 3 you need to flash some audio compatibility library from magisk as well in order for viper to be able to work. I had this problem initially but now it works like wonder

Nice ROM, one issue I had was that automatic brightness was very uncomfortable (big steps and slow adjustment)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dc_08:
Thankyou.

Yes both things are good to go.

I asked this because I read there at the main post that firmware flashing is required before flashing this rom.

One more ques. is there any issue with whatsapp video calling as one user reported the echo in his voice during video calling on whatsapp ?

How to switch off sim1 or 2

Paranoid rom is running v smoothly but there exists a problem for me. There is no option to switch off sim1 or sim2. Actually sometimes I want to keep only sim1 on and some time sim2. I cant afford to keep both sims on all the time.

Give me some solution

No Mic On Discord call and fb messenger calls

well this ROM is working great except when i am using discord or fb messenger to make a call, i can receipt my friend sound but my friend can't hear me, i dunno if its because the discord app it self or rom issue, but whatsapp or regular phone call is working fine

anyone facing the same problem or it is just me? :confused:

Best RN8 rom I've had but has a few drawbacks (last version Paranoid Android Quartz 4 ):

- no gestures for navigation buttons (e.g. to set the application to force close by holding down the back button)

- the setting of the flashlight holding the power button is too sensitive, often the flashlight lights up in my pocket, there should be some delay after holding the button

- a big problem with wifi, the phone often loses wifi coverage for some unknown reason, the range is weak when I'm a little further away from the router - wifi works much better on Miui. I hope you can fix it

- I installed Dolby Plus, which I am replacing the equalizer, but android still kills this program in the background all the time, there is no padlock anywhere to lock the program in the memory, disabling battery optimization for this application does not help, terribly annoying

Hello,

First, it's a great OS, big thanks for all developers. :)

Is there any way to disable suggestion app in Paranoid launcher like as in Pixel Experience default launcher? I couldn't find this option in the launcher setting. I tried to install the original pixel launcher from google play, but it was unsuccessfully.

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mananhl:
You could install Pixel Launcher by flashing stock gapps pack, but you wouldnt able to use Styles in Display Settings(because PL not supported) and you may need go to Default apps setting to set PL as default, the os might not ask you to do that. After that, Paranoid launcher will not work until you uninstall PL.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pnin:
Thanks a lot, I would have never figured that out on my own.

As I have been on Pie and earlier up to now, is this a general Android 10 feature or is it specific to Paranoid Android?

Because it feels incredibly abstruse -- I wish everyone would stop hiding stuff that users have grown used to.

Another unrelated gripe I'm having: user KasunHerath97 declared (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82815183&postcount=11) that he had setup MicroG and everything was working; that's what prompted me to switch from Xiaomi.EU to this PA Quartz.

But I can't make it work as both the MicroG package and patcher (from https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Beta/) are failing and the MicroG Settings app Self-Check is telling me that "Signature spoofing support" isn't enabled. Any hints on this?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PEPSIMANTR:
I think this is specific to Paranoid Android(and some other roms i guess). For example in LineageOS 17(and even on CyanogenMod 11) you can enable and disable it from developer settings.

I have been using this amazing rom for over a week now..

fast, smooth, efficient, and most importantly, no force close anything or big issues. better performance than MIUI

big thanks to the developer for the outstanding work ?

just a few little things I want to share with you guys

1. indeed, I miss the network speed indicator on the status bar.

2. couldn't find any screen recording function (not that it's important to me but worth pointing out)

3. the battery usage is awesome .. I'm getting 8+ hours screen on time with moderate usage (on wifi, not on data)

4. standby time is bad actually, I can't tell if it is something wrong with my settings, or some battery optimization problem.

its 1 percent for every hour

any help on that woud be appreciated.

edit1 : (both sim cards are on and full bars signal all the time.. both on 2G.. no wifi.. still high battery drain overnight only on standby)

5. the hide notch feature in developer options only slides the status bar down ... I really wish that it can make the status bar background black without sliding the icons down

I came from Pixel Experience Plus.

Battery life is lesser on this but that's not my main concern as I am almost always at home due to Lockdown but network reception of my work connection is having issues with ROM and I always loose internet connection and then it requires multiple airplane mode on/off to get that back and it again goes off suddenly.

I am now waiting for MIUI 12 to come out and I will switch.

I don't really like MIUI. But rigut now I don't have much of an option as network reception is very important along with camera right now.

Did you try superior os? It seems similar to this rom with slightly better benchmark scores

Also what country are you in because nobody else is reporting the same issues as you

Did you do a clean flash?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] arnabJ:
No, I haven't tried Suprior OS.

This is my 2nd ROM as mentioned.

I did a clean install but didn't wiped the internal storage.

I wiped the data without media in TWRP.

Could that be the reason?

Yes, I read through the thread and didn't found any other complaint regarding network so figured it's something on my own setup but I don't have time to do a complete reset just to test that theory.

I am waiting for both Quartz 5 and MIUI 12 to fome out. I will first update to Quartz 5 and see. If it doesn't helps then I will have to return to MIUI for the timebeing.

Thank you for trying to figure this out with me. Any suggestions are welcome which won't require complete reset at the moment.
