Thanks a lot for your trust.

The only thing I wanted to clarify that the end-user will be the bottleneck of security.

I recommend using trusted apps only on your device. In this case, your data will be safe.

You can't even trust a stock ROM because its sources are private and nobody knows what security issues exist there. It's hard to check the sources even having them due to their number of files and all those giant code snippets inside.

As for my ROMs... I'm using one of them and had no issues with it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
@_firewall_ Is this ROM still your ROM or have you changed to another one?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
I'm still using this one. There's no alternative ROM for me at this moment.

It corresponds all of my requirements. So, I don't actually need to change it :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
Ok. I feared you have abandoned this ROM because you have built new ones
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
RR is not the only ROM I'm building, but it's still the best ROM for me.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
Have the developers dropped this ROM?

Almost all other ROM for our device have been updated
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
Can't tell you that. I'm waiting for the update as well because this ROM is my daily driver.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
It's not usual this delay, isn't it?

What's your knowledge about Android 11 nowadays? Could you change version if they don't update any more?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
Yes, current delay is unusual. Nevertheless, there were no new features in latest updates, but I'm still using this ROM. As for me it's perfect even in its current state.

My knowledge is still the same and still not enough for Android 11.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
I don't mind new features, but security patch. We must be patient
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
Have you ever discovered if sources really include this patch and it's not just bumping a text line?

If I will bump this line myself, will you be happy seeing that March security patch is applied?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
Ah, I didn't know that, thought builders could see it
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
I'm not discovering each file changes. Just building the ROM with the sources they have.

There were few security patches that were not applicable to Android Q. Nevertheless, ROM teams specify that security patch is applied. It actually is somehow, because files don't have these vulnerabilities. But the other side is that files didn't really get any changes.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] stingbandel:
Are you saying that Bluetooth is still not quite working? Also about the miracast still has some problem?

I am trying to use yours but need to make sure the bluetooth works cause I use it everyday.

also for the twrp, can I use the official one or I have to use the batik one? is batik one based on 3.5 version?

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
No, I'm not saying that. Both Bluetooth and miracast work fine in my builds.

If official TWRP works fine for you, feel free to use it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] stingbandel:
hi, thanks for the reply. I haven't actually started yet. I am still reading as which one to try on my phone. What version is batik trwp based on?

Mine is still fresh just unlocked bootloader with stock rom. I''m gonna start doing it in a few days after reading on here first.... so far I think this rom is the one to go. but I just need to know which twrp I would like to use as I see so many twrp for this phone. so do you mind explaining what's the different between batik or official one?

thanks

edit, I just read the batik recovery thread and I see it's based on twrp 3.4.

thanks... I'm gonna try the latest version official for this first. thanks a lot...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] stingbandel:
one more question. on the rom download file, there is unofficial gapps there. so does it mean I have to use the gapps there or I can use the latest gapps available? and can I use the pico one for this?

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
There are two build types:

1. With built-in GApps (archive name contains GApps). This one doesn't require installation of additional GApps package.

2. With no built-in GApps. You can use any GApps with this one. OpenGApps Nano are recommended. Some ROM features may not work correctly with Pico package.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
What unofficial GApps are you talking about?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] stingbandel:
nevermind, I read a wrong one....

anyway one more question, is it possible to remove unwanted system apps?

I've tried using titanium back up and try other system apps remover from playstore but none of them are working... I usually able to remove them using titanium back up but on this rom I am not able to do it.

please let me know how to do it properly. thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
I never removed system apps and I don't think that this way could be properly used because it may cause a rom issues. Sorry, but I can't help you with this.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
Hi, I hope the maintainer don't get angry for saying it, but, are you aware this ROM probably won't update any more?

Ask the maintainer if you want advice about which ROMs are updating so far.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
Nobody knows how long Q ROMs will receive updates and I can't tell it as well.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Viceant01:
Ok, but you said this delay isn't normal at all and so I said "probably". And most developers have changed to 11. I felt he/she should know this issue before take the risk.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
You're right. But it seems that we'll have the only Android 11 ROM for MiMax - LOS by Tarkzim. So, if regular updates is your priority, I would recommend his ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
It looks like @varund7726 (Resurrection Remix developer) doesn't have enough time now for updating sources. Hope he's fine and will update the ROM once possible. I really appreciate his work and this ROM is the best I ever used.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] stingbandel:
I think the rom is good already. maybe you can just patch the security update only and it should already be a good rom...

one question about the volte, how do I know the sim card is using volte? is it the LTE+ or what?

I am trying to use Indonesian operator SmartFren...

are you Indonesian by the way? if yes, then you can help me better since you know smartfren for sure...

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
I'm from Ukraine and VoLTE is not available in my country. You should see VoLTE logo once it's active on your device.

As for the security patch... I'm sorry to tell you, but I will not implement it myself.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] stingbandel:
oh I see so when I see the LTE+ it's not volte... I thought it was volte...

ok... thanks for the info..

Wow.. Many Many thanks. The rom do work perfectly ! I spend nearly 4 days with fight with those lineage stuff and most the app were not working, radio neiher and don't even boot properly. I hit wipe in twrp, put you rom and Bang: All work perfectly, Fm radio is perfect too, ir fine. will try the gps. So thank for this release. Mi max hydrogen.

Also, if you do another release.. how can we upgrade without reinstalling everything ? What item in the Twrp backup should i choose ? as a (nandbackup) thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
Thanks for the feedback.

You can find 'Installation' section in the initial post. Update instruction is available there ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Docop2:
hehe indeed, but as precision.. i guess the <1) Backup Everything (Most Important)< is a full twrp backup. So for app, do you recommand the old Titanium backup or more like Buggy backup.. ? As is require to root before doing so... step is propably : 1-full twrp ,2 install magisk to root, 3- backup app. thanks again
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
I'm dirty flashing (updating this rom to the latest version) on my device with no issues for a long time.

Backup is recommended before flashing the latest version if it will cause any issues, so that you can restore the previous one. I recommend to backup 3 partitions: boot, system, data. Those 3 are quite enough for restoration the previous rom on your device.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nodoka256:
yup after fresh install the rom not set my phone app as default (maybe only me).

anyway i found something when i charge, my phone full only at 80%, except i turn off my phone and charge again till 100%

any solution for this problem ??
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
Looks like you're using the battery with the capacity that differs from the stock MiMax battery.

My device charges up to 100% in any state.

Otherwise, it's a hardware issue related to your battery.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hadiceberg:
Hello and thanks for this solid ROM. I migrated from pixel experience.

It's smooth and has a good battery life.

I have an issue; Quick settings tiles are exceeding the panel. please see the attached image.

Changing number of columns didn't fix the problem.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hadiceberg:
I installed the version with gapps inculded and the same happened to me. also I didn't have call recording. Then I flashed the one without gapps and used a separate nano gapps. phone app was set as default and also I had call recording.

You might have enabled Smart Charging Feature which disables charging at a certain level. see the attached image.

Quick orientation.. as you install many time. I did install the version without gapps. So i try a nickgapps and end up as it cannot connect to google. To remove and install new gapps package or trying BitGapps.. i read about a <dirty flash< as we :

1- wipe : cache + dalvik. only those 2.

2- flash the same rom

3- flash the zip of gapps.

So will i do end up with losing all the setting made and need to start from 0 again, or it will be ok and it's only for the gapps process ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
I would recommend to do a clean flash. Detailed information is specified in the initial message as well as the recommendation to use OpenGApps Nano.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Docop2:
Yess your are the man ! So fully confirm, no setting lost ! :

1- wipe : cache + dalvik.

2- flash the same rom or the updated one.

3- flash the zip of gapps nano or BiTGApps / avoid nickgapps

4- wipe cache. -reboot.

** To not waste about a day on the gapps : Do not connect over a wifi having a Wireguard connection ! You will never be able to get the login page of google. Kill the wireguard of that router or simply run openvpn and all will pop up fine.

- tomorrow i guess i might spend the day on how to run / apply the safetypatch.

Do we just install magisk and do the Hide renaming.. or the safetynet pack file 1.1 or 1.2beta is needed ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
I'm not sure if dirty flash will work good for you, but you can try. I always use OpenGApps Nano and never used any other GApps.

If you want to bypass safetynet check in my roms, just install latest Magisk canary and hide Magisk app using its settings. No other patches are required.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Docop2:
Thanks a lot. very appreciated. And yes, i confirm, the dirty flash do work. currently on bitgapps. to remove it you set remove in the option and reflash the zip. But at same time i should just install your rom with gapp included. And thank for the tips on magisk. i try this tomorrow.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

As for the ForkLineageOS... The latest update of their Android 10 build was on March 27, 2021. It seems that they totally switched to Android 11 and will not update Android 10 anymore. Unfortunately, I can't build any Android 11 rom. My device sources require changes, but my knowledge is not quite enough for making them.

It has no sense to build any new Q ROM that will not get any updates. Hope for your understandings.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Docop2:
Just to comment. I spend about 3 days to fight those lineage build on the max. And overall lot of bug, device frooze, hangup, no radio. On the v11, lot of app just don't work anymore. very bad. Then i install _firewall_ RR rom build and Paf : all were working perfectly ! Thanks again.

2021-05-14

Bump Security String to 2021-05-05

Bump RR version 8.6.9

Some fixes and improvements. The detailed changelog could be found here.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hadiceberg:
When I set the alarm volume to gradually increase, the alarm doesn't sound most of the times, it just vibrates.

I tried rebooting the phone and started testing it several times by setting the alarm for the next minute. The alarm sounded the 1st time, but only vibrated the subsequent times.

I also tried cleaning data of Clock app and also rebooting into the safe mode.

If I turn off "gradually increase volume", the alarm sounds every time without fail.

Tested on RR-8.6.8 and 8.6.9 with GApps Nano using stock clock "com.android.deskclock"

On a different note, the Bluetooth timeout is still having problems. I have a Bluetooth speaker which turns off after 15 minutes of inactivity. When I want to sleep I use Spotify to play some music and set the timer to 1hr. In the morning I find that the speaker is turned off, but phone's Bluetooth is still on, although it's set to 30mins of timeout.

EDIT:

I tried to recreate the problem. I set Spotify to 5min sleep timer and Bluetooth to 15secs. after 5mins music stopped, 15 mins after that the speaker turned off and 30secs later Bluetooth turned off!

I don't know why it doesn't happen during my sleep!!!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
1. I prefer Google Clock and using it with no issues. Try it. To be honest, I never used the stock Clock app. Google Clock app icon always shows live time and I really like this feature.

2. As for the Bluetooth timeout... Sorry, but I have no a Bluetooth speaker, which will help me to reproduce this issue. I tried timeout feature with no connected device. It works like it should. This feature was ported from the other rom. So, it may have some issues.

Thanks for reporting those issues. But I'm not sure that I can fix them.

I'm really sorry for both inconveniences.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hadiceberg:
Thank you.

I installed google app and it's working fine. I changed battery settings to never optimize Google's Clock. Is it enough to have a reliable alarm clock as it's not a /system app now.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hadiceberg:
Me gain 😅

Every time I restart my phone, GPS won't work until I turn it off and back on.

Please see the attachment
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
This seems to be the issue I will not be able to reproduce.

My GPS is always on. I'm using it every day and never experienced such issue.

It doesn't really matter if I'm restarting my device, updating the rom to latest build or power on the device from the power off state. GPS always works like a charm on my Hydrogen.

I'm using high accuracy mode always and Resurrection Remix is my daily driver since its first Q build.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
What GPS mode are you using?

Are you testing it indoor or outdoor?

Have you tried to disable the VPN connection. As I can see it's currently active on your device.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hadiceberg:
High accuracy (gps+wifi& BT scanning)

I have experienced it both indoors and outdoors. This specific recording was done under the roof and it actually got a fix pretty fast (after re-enabling location)

Yes I have tested with both vpn on and off

On another note, using location quick tile doesn't change location mode accordingly.

For example "Device only" doesn't disable network location.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] _firewall_:
That's really strange. I don't experience any of these issues.

I didn't try to use GPS with active VPN, so can't say anything about it.

What methods have you used to test the GPS tile correct behavior?
