I had the same issue (but in other apps). I installed QTI memory optimization v7.1 in Magisk and everything works great without lags.

Other topic - Only not work 64mpx camera (I tried GCam, OpenCamera etc) still not 64mpx resolution. -On OpenCamera by Wyroczen in Camera API2 is 64mpx option but making photos 2mpx. Maximum 16mpx in normal mode...

I update my redmi note 8 pro from old pixel experience plus (android 11 stable) to new pixel experience plus (android 11 stable) release and now my phone sound doesn't work. Even when playing YouTube, calls, ringtone,, notification etc but no sound. How to fix this issue pls tell me .... Help me
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] psyray:
With the latest ROM everything is working fine now, thanks for your work @ZIDAN44 ;)

For those who need to update to this ROM, as @ZIDAN44 said, you must make a clean flash (data, cache, dalvik), so make a backup before, and must use TWRP 12.5 Youtube tutorial.

Quickly, after a short usage, the main problem for me, as said @s0ugata, is the call volume of the speaker which can't be lowered.

Any solution ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
For those of you wanting to clean flash here are the instructions which worked for me (no boot loop):

Downloads:

OAndBackupX (root is required for making backups and restoring; most app + data backups work; a few don't);

twrp-3.5.2_11-1-UNOFFICIAL-begonia.img (only for MIUI 12.5.x Android 11 or custom ROMS based on it);

MOD EDIT: Link Removed (I've not tested this, but it has support for non-CFW Custom ROMS based on MIUI 12.5.x Android 11 and has some nice extra features some people might want, like "Close avb 2.0", "Patch vbmeta" and Magisk is also included; the changelog warns not to install older BRP themes; thanks derico3 for the newer BRP);

PixelExperience_Plus_begonia-11.0-20210717-0310-OFFICIAL.zip;

Magisk v23.0 (you can skip the Magisk standalone installation if you use BRP3.5.2v2.7-twrp.zip since it has Magisk internally; or you can install Magisk manually as below).

Installation:

Install OAndBackupX, make your backups (only apps + data; restoring system + data is likely to cause issues) and save it somewhere safe like an external SDCARD (because when you format data below you'll lose everything in internal storage);

Boot to your current recovery (mine was twrp-UNIFIED-3.5.1_10-begonia_UNOFFICIAL_1604.img);

Flash/Install twrp-3.5.2_11-1-UNOFFICIAL-begonia.img (select the "Install Image" button then the recovery partition) or BRP3.5.2v3.0-fastboot.zip;

Flash/Install PixelExperience_Plus_begonia-11.0-20210717-0310-OFFICIAL.zip;

Format data (no need to wipe/format anything else, you can also format data from fastboot with "fastboot format userdata"; thanks Odea);

Reboot to system;

Install Magisk v23.0 apk;

Reboot to recovery;

Flash/Install Magisk v23.0 zip (rename the .apk to .zip so you can flash it; some recoveries can flash/install .apk directly but your recovery needs this feature);

Restore your app + data backups;

Profit.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
Thanks for this Compass, just to be sure since I'm a novice, Install Magiskv23.0 apk. You actually install the APK (I assume of the manager?) and then rename it and flash it? Last time I didnt do anything with the APK except for renaming it and then flashing from recovery.

Asking because when I last did it I got some red errors while flashing, then in the manager I could hit the install button which seemed to do it properly or something....

It did however end up giving me problems with Microsoft Intune because it figured out my device was Rooted... which up to this point I have not been able to get around :-(

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
In previous versions Magisk was two components (Manager + App). Now it's just Magisk.

Install the Magisk .apk while booted into system;

Rename the .apk to .zip;

Boot to recovery;

Flash/Install the Magisk .zip.

You should only use the install button in Magisk when upgrading, not when installing for the first time. Only after you upgrade the Magisk app (by updating withing the app itself) and have Magisk already installed then it's safe to use the install button in Magisk to upgrade.

It's divided in two parts. The app itself and the installation which alters the /boot partition.

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

You need to enable Magisk Hide and add Microsoft Intune to the list. It works flawlessly here with my banking apps.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
There are three methods you can use:

Redo the installation as I mentioned (I suspect you didn't format /data). You can boot into a working recovery by turning your phone on while holding volume up + power buttons until the twrp logo appears;

Fastboot flash a Miui 12.5.1 fastboot ROM (fastboot mode should be working for you; search the forum if you don't know how);

https://telegra.ph/Installing-Redmi-Note-8-Pro-firmware-via-SP-Flash-Tool-01-21 (this is the hard unbrick method; shouldn't be necessary in your case but you can do it anyway; it's up to you).

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
Hey compass, refer to my post above, i somehow managed to boot in rom but this rom is useless to me as the call sounds are not working neither can i set any ringtone in sound settings.. plz check for it and reply asap
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
SMS and WhatsApp notification sounds are working here. I called myself from my landline phone and it rings. I can also change my ringtones in the sound settings.

Not sure what's happening with you, but I guess you should clean flash again (properly this time).

"i somehow managed to boot in rom" <- This indicates that your installtion has issues. It's not a bug in the ROM. Clean flash correctly and the issues should be gone.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
wow man, i cleaned flash and this time everything is working. now just help me out with two more things

1. i prefer 4G icon instead of LTE one on status bar, please confirm how can i do that...

2. The installed google dialer app doesnt have call recorder option, i want call recording in my phone... please confirm how can i do that?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
If my memory serves me well when I enable 4G + Mobile Data I get the 4G icon (I think; I stay on 3G because it's a slight battery gain). I can't test it without incurring in being charged (I'm constantly with WiFi so there's no need for mobile data for me). I read something about changing the 4G <-> LTE icons in one of the Telegram groups, but I don't know the instructions. If you have Telegram you should ask there;

Again I read something in one of the Telegram groups but I also don't know how to do it.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
some more issue to be resolved...

3. why there is a cross mark on network signals when mobile data is not connected, it looks ugly and confusing...??

4. magisk safetynet is failing, i already have flashed it in twrp as well as you guided
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
3. Indeed there is a cross mark to indicate that mobile data is off. I'm used to it;

4. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample (works here).

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
ok i managed to pass safety net but please give us option to remove this cross mark on signals... its very annoying.. further please add option for 4G icon.. LTE looks very odd to me..

Also there is no option which indicates battery percentage on icon
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
Apart from modifying the ROM you might be able to alter the icons with a Magisk Module. You'll have to search for that.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
Thx for the extra info, so far I am not getting past loading the new recovery... it shows me the teamwin image... hangs there for a couple of minutes and then just boots the ROM... :-( tried both my phones same result... Any ideas?

I should mention reflashing the old recovery (the one you linked) does work for me and gets the recovery back :-\
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I flashed the new recovery over the old one and it works fine here.

Try this method to boot into the new TWRP (I'm giving more detailed instructions this time; shouldn't make a difference but who knows):

Turn your phone off;

Wait 30 seconds to be sure it's powered down;

Press and hold simultaneously the Power and Volume Up buttons;

When the screen lights up with the Redmi logo in the center of the screen and the bootloader unlocked icon on the top of the screen, release only the Power button (keep the Volume Up button pressed);

When the TWRP logo appears you can release the Volume Up button.

If this doesn't work I'm out of ideas. I guess you might need to flash a stock MIUI 12.5.x ROM and start from scratch (I hope your problem isn't hardware related). If you do decide to do this, be careful not to lock your bootloader.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hanzn:
Hey Compass, thanks for your manual!

Do you know if OAndBackupX is supporting to backup the files to your computer instead of an SD card?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
I am also facing same issue with new twrp recovery for android 11, it crashes on teamwin screen... the old unified recovery works fine... even we are adopting the same method for every rom and recovery..

Also there is no option to close avb 2.0 and patch vbmeta in new recovery.. i think this may also be the reason for boot loop...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
i just found the solution.. we should use this recovery MOD EDIT: Link Removed for A11 and custom roms...

the team win recovery is bugged..
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
Thanks for the help Compass, I'm using two different phones, one is rather new (the new front cam) and one is about 6-12 months older. Both have the exact same issue, this recovery simply does not seem to want to work on either.

I am even booting into it through the 'fastboot reboot recovery' command which works a dream when flashing the old twrp unified 3.5.1_10 but not the newer version which makes no sense.... I am running PixelExperience_begonia-11.0-20210514-0254-OFFICIAL so I'm rather clueless as to why I'm running into this wall and have the feeling I simply need a different TWRP version or something.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
And you tried this recovery with succes?

That's not a .img file, does that matter? or does it need to be renamed or something?

EDIT: just took a peek in the bat file.....

@ECHO OFF
ECHO AllTricks Presents Fastboot file of:-
ECHO Recovery for Non-CFW Custom Roms based on Miui 12.5 FW

I guess that aint so scary hehe.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
it will work, just try to run bat file and update
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I've never tried generating backups directly to a PC. I don't think it'll work.

I think your choices are:

If you don't have a SDCARD you can use a USB Thumb drive along with one of those adapters (USB-C to USB);

Making the backups locally and then transferring them manually to your PC (through WiFi or cable);

Making the backups locally and then transferring them to the cloud (eg. Google Drive).

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
OK guys, I've figured out what went wrong on your side.

If you follow my guide to the letter it works. If you don't you'll have issues with TWRP because the version used in my guide is only for MIUI 12.5.x Android 11 or custom ROMS based on it, which means releases prior to 17/07/2021 you have to use a compatible TWRP.

Odea flashed this new TWRP with PixelExperience_begonia-11.0-20210514-0254-OFFICIAL which isn't based on MIUI 12.5.x, hence the issues.

If you want "Close avb 2.0", "Patch vbmeta" and some extras (it has Magisk builtin for example) use BRP3.5.2v3.0-fastboot.zip (for non-CFW Custom ROMs based on MIUI 12.5.x Android 11). I've added this recovery to my guide.

I apologize for the confusion. I've edited my guide accordingly.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
Excellent, haven't done the other steps yet (gonna use my wife her phone first, if I brick that at least work won't be mad :-D ) but the recovery works at least :-)

The other recovery n70shan posted did not do the trick at least, same frozen 'splash screen' before eventually just booting the ROM.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] n70shan:
Compass, please can you confirm is the Pixel Plus UI 11.0 rom has same cross on signal bar issue like this one?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I've taken a look at some PPUI screenshots and the cross is there, albeit with a different icon.

It's best if you ask in the PPUI sub-forum because the screenshots I saw might not be recent.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
Hey Compass, my wives data was not formatable from TWRP, so had to do it from fastboot, I decided to go;

- Fastboot format data (fastboot format userdata)

- Flash recovery

- Flash ROM

Doing the other steps now but that's at least gotten the ROM to load, the userdata absolutely has to be formated otherwise the ROM just keep on loading until the end of time. Maybe something worth putting in your mini guide. Could help some lost soul... :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
Notes:

• Use latest 12.5 TWRP

• Don't change kernel

• Must need a clean flash (meaning "format data" is required) :unsure:

:ROFLMAO:

Weird you couldn't format from TWRP..., at least it worked from fastboot.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
Did you format data?

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] caravaggio971:
When I did the installation I formatted data twice just to make sure. I believe it's a problem of the app and not the rom since I had the same prob on all the roms I tried.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
Yeah, it's not that I missed that... I simply didnt KNOW you could format from fastboot :p Was suggesting the adding to the mini guide for boobs like myself that simply don't root and flash and do 24/7 :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
So far I must say the latest update runs a lot smoother, only issue I've run into so far is the fact the phone is not encrypted and also doesn't seem to want to encrypt :-\ Which means it's 100% useless when it comes to using it for work which demands it is encryped.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I've added the possibility to format data using fastboot to the guide.

In regards to the lack of encryption, there's this message from one of the Telegram groups:

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hanzn:
Is this related to all current PE versions or begonia-only?

Is that the general PE group or a begonia-only group? If it's begonia-only, how to join?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I don't know if the lack of encryption affects all PE versions. That message I forwarded here came from the Telegram Group below (if you join and search for "keymaster" you should be able to find it).

https://t.me/PE_Begonia (official Begonia PE Telegram Group; it's in the OP).

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] BongoInCongo:
All you need to do is format data from your recovery.

Press (Vol up+Power) to enter the recovery mode. If unable to enter recovery then your recovery was not installed successfully. Flash the recovery using fastboot from a PC and remember to format data after flashing PE ROM on your device.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] BongoInCongo:
I could not agree more. The phone is much smoother now and with the NIght Light working it's simply the best experience one can have on a device like this. The only issue (which is a make-or-break kinda deal) is the encryption. The device ain't encrypted, and so a work profile cannot be created.

DId anyone find a solution to this?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Odea:
As compass mentioned it seems to be part of the current Build of the ROM... So my solution is wait for the next version... :giggle: Not sure if that counts as a solution though... :geek:

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I've noticed an increase in battery consumption with this release.

Approximately 1% per hour is too much. In the previous release it wasn't draining the battery like this and my phone is basically idle.

It's something in the system but I don't know what it is. I've disabled "Digital Wellbeing" and wiped in recovery "Dalvik" and "Dalvik Cache". No success so far.

This may not necessarily help you Compass, but I think I have a few general tips for improving battery for some who may not be aware. I've been tracking my battery consumption over the past 30 days (using Accubattery). I used these three tips both for May and July P.E releases, and with these settings turned on/off, I'm getting about 5-7% per hour screen-on battery time, which I'm really happy with (coming from 7-11% per hour screen-on battery time without these settings).

1. Disable Device Health Services under Apps and Notifications. ( This improved my battery consumption from about 8-10% per hour to 5-7% per hour. I haven't noticed any real downsides from disabling this).

2. Disable Digital Wellbeing (like Compass have done). Search for "Usage access" in Settings, then find Digital Wellbeing and disallow Usage access.

3. Enable background battery restriction for Gboard. I learned this from this reddit thread, as it seems Gboard running in the background prevents the phone from deep sleep, and it can help with the standby battery (Although I haven't noticed as drastic a change on my note 8 pro as they did).

So far I'm really happy with the July update. Battery life is awesome so far, Hands free Google assistant finally works, and the whole rom is much smoother than the May build (which had lags at random intervals, or when playing youtube, etc)
