What is the correct way to downgrade pixel launcher to the one used in PE A10? Will it work if I just installed apk, or I need to do some weird operations so it wouldn't crash? I have read some instructions for regular roms and they are a little complicated. The version in current build of PE A11 isn't convenient imo. If I want to open an app, I need to go home screen and only then I can look for it in the list.

Hello, for the first time I am leaving the stock rom, I will try to use the Pixel Experience 11, I already have two problems, to install I used:

begonia_global_images_V11.0.6.0.PGGMIXM_20200108.0000.00_9.0_global

begonia-A11-CFW-vendor-20201128

PixelExperience_begonia-11.0-20201222-0609-BETA-OFFICIAL

1 - My router is configured to log only registered MACs, but the Pixel Experience is using a different MAC at each restart, even putting it to use the fixed MAC (default), which is changed every time it restarts.

2 - I have already tested many TWRP CFW, none of them wants to decrypt. Some help? Thanks.

EDIT: I went back to stock rom, I realized that the Wifi problem is still there, there is an error "NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10", I found it in the searches, but it seems that the solution is not for begonia.

Hello, the ROM works very well in pretty much all aspects!

I have, however, came into an issue.

I don't seem to be able to install apps via ADB:

C:\Users\Kotlinist\AndroidStudioProjects\HelloWorld>adb devices
List of devices attached
onssh6amvwv88p9l device

C:\Users\Kotlinist\AndroidStudioProjects\HelloWorld>adb install android\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install android\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk:
C:\Users\Kotlinist\AndroidStudioProjects\HelloWorld>adb devices
List of devices attached
onssh6amvwv88p9l offline

C:\Users\Kotlinist\AndroidStudioProjects\HelloWorld>

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks much!

EDIT: When I used another tool it said this:

com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: EOF

I've just tested with another app (Telegram.apk from https://telegram.org/android) and it's the same issue

EDIT 2: I also tried pushing an empty file and it worked, but then tried pushing a larger file (the apk) and it didn't, hmm (the file is not there on the device, and the device also went "offline" in adb)

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GMMarin:
I'm sorry, this might be the wrong place to ask, but there's not an Android 12 thread, yet at least, the instructions in the A12 Guide, https://telegra.ph/Flashing-PE-12-23, say that you should install latest firmware, what does that mean, also I can't seem to be able to download the dynamic TWRP, wherever I click just opens the same page again.

Thanks in advance
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TheAle:
Hello all, for those of you wondering about the Android 12 release, i installed it.

I didn't get it to run with miui 12 (A10), so i tried with STOCK (yes completely) miui 12.5 (A11) and it works. So use that one. Bootloop with A10 Stock miui.

Then install the dynamic TWRP from the instructions: https://telegra.ph/Flashing-PE-12-23.

Then install ROM.

Done.

4 steps.

I didn't try it for long (obviously), but I know a few things that work and other things that don't.

It is an initial release, so we can expect fixes for a few of the problems rather soon.

What works (basic functionality):

-Wifi

-Cam front and back (old begonia model)

-NFC

-BT

-Calling

-SMS/MMS

-many more probably

What doesn't work:

-Screenshot (IDK why, maybe some permission problem, it says: Can't save screenshot)

-Fingerprint (not even an option in settings/phone setup)

-Changing wallpaper (App crashes as soon as i pick a photo from my gallery from picker)

-Apps that were not built for A12 (seems obvious but just to tell you that A12 is not that old yet and people need to update their apps)

-Notch height wrongly configured (height too large, so it thinks it's bigger)

-many more probably

EDIT:

-Notification LED

-MANY Apps don't work (e.g. Termux, AdAway, simple apps (gallery, etc)): Can't parse package (Because not built for A12 yet)

Will update in some days with a more experience on the rom about other things that work/don't.

Many things don't work, but for a bit of testing and A12 flexing it works sure enough. It's generally stable but has a few problems, don't expect something perfect.

It feels faster than A11, may just be because of the new look. Everything is smooth though.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GMMarin:
Hey, sorry for bothering, I got a bit confused in the firmware part, should I just download the latest firmware on Xiaomi website (miui_BEGONIAGlobal_V12.5.5.0.RGGMIXM_0e4a06b63a_11.0.zip) and install it with Xiaomi's software, I don't remember the name, and after that just flash Dynamic TWRP?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TheAle:
I flashed it via fastboot, zip filesize about 5GB or even more, can't remember. DO NOT TOUCH THE flash_all_lock files, directly delete these, if executed they will relock your bootloader.

You can use MiFlashtool to flash it i guess, I never use that.

The ~1.7GB zip file is the recovery installable ROM, DO NOT use that.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
- Screenshot: Set SELinux Permissive (Custom roms A12 for begonia Enforcing had many problems) then you can use it or use other app

- Fingerprint: Some say it worked, and some not

- Apps can install by Google Files (Inbuilt, find it)

- Notch height: Developer just like that and they won't change that.

If you want to try A12 rom, I suggest to use AncientOS (Stable + customize than other A12 ones)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TheAle:
Thanks for clarification. Do you think there will be Pixel exclusive features (Screen call, Lockscreen song identification) in the future? Because only those features make me want to install this rom.

Not available, you have to wait for plus version to do this
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] thejavigames:
Hello good, I have the version of miui global 12.5.4 stable (RGGEUXM), I have to wait 360 hours to open the bootloader, while I wait I am reading several things, following the tutorial of the pixel experience web I should not have any problem having that Miui version or do I have to put another version? (I already installed roms on other devices, kernels, recoverys, bootloaders etc, I have experience, I only have doubts about this phone) I want to install PE on android 11 or 12, I don't care, I want to remove miui, but I had some questions, I I want to install the rom without root or any modification, will I be able to update it in the future using ota? because I see that there is a part called "firmware" that you have to flash miui and then pixel to update it, is that so? My idea is to install pixel and forget about miui and update the rom through ota, can I always do it? One more thing, is there a problem with the open bootloader or safetynet to use the bank's apps, or in the future there may be a problem that doesn't work for me? And the last thing without installing any camera app, the stock pixel rom works at 64mpx?

I asked a long time ago about the issue of the bank, but I want to know right now with android 11-12 if everything works ok, especially if google changes the safetynet if it will continue working, or pixel has the approval of google and they will not touch it and it will always work ?

Aesthetically I like android 11 more, you can put the aesthetic of 11 on 12, or do I have to settle for you material? Regards, and thank you very much
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] x3r0.13urn:
Yes you should be able to update it. The device is near EOL, so it probably won't get any major firmware update from Xiaomi.

If you do know about installing roms on other devices, you should have already grasp one thing or two about safetynet, it works the same here.

I guess you have to wait for PE 12 and its theming engine. The Monet engine used in Pixel is not part of AOSP. Dot OS does good work on mimic-ing Monet in A11, maybe it will get ported to A12 and hopefully spread across other roms.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
Available, they made twrp flashable in their group I think. Idk it work with A12 version or not
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
You can unlock instantly for Mediatek without losing data (mtkclient). You can search it on Youtube.

I installed an app and it say safetynet pass but I don't sure about that app. But if you turn on Magisk hide, it will 100% success.

And OTA maybe not available right now, but it will when it's more stable. (R-Oss for begonia released, and then A12. So much change for OTA update)

Camera 64MP won't work with custom roms (except one special). It just enough for using.

And PE has a chance for hardbrick user while flashing. So better prepare for it.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kabylfx:
Hi, I am waiting for my bootloader to unlock but I've been staying on MIUI 12.0.5 (Redmi Note 8 Pro). I do plan on flashing PE 11 as soon as I can unlock (in a few days) but I am having trouble manually upgrading to 12.5 ("Can't verify update" error whenever I try to manually upgrade using an official MIUI ROM for my phone version).

My question is: Is it absolutely necessary to be on ver. 12.5 before flashing PE or does it make no difference?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
If you flash from Miui 12.0.5, result will be like 99% hardbrick and 1% bootloop.

Even you upgrade to Miui 12.5.x still have hardbrick chance but less & random.

Just unlock (read my post above) and flash Miui 12.5.x Fastboot rom before flash PE.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kabylfx:
Thanks, if I understood correctly, I should just flash 12.5.x with Mi Flash before flashing PE. Does Mi Flash with a fastboot ROM wipe user data?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
If you unlock official way or you flash custom rom, your data will be wiped. Backup before doing that. And remember to chose Clean_all in Mi flash tool or your bootloader will be locked again
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] FoulGamer07:
I bricked my phone while trying to do that so I suggest you to update, idk if it's because of this but I think it is
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] thejavigames:
Hello I got a brick when I installed the pe11 from miui 12.5.4, I managed to recover it through preloader mediatek with the 3 buttons and the scatter of the fastboot rom, the mobile did not turn on, right now I have it working in pe12, my fingerprint It is working for me, when I turn on and configure the device, it gave me the option of the fingerprint, and seeing that the safetynet passes it correctly and Netflix is shown in the playstore and the bank's apps are functional, but now the big question I have is, yes The rom already passes the safetynet, without the need to update via ota, or anything, the mobile will continue to pass safetynet and be certified, or on the contrary, if google touches "something" could we stop having safetynet? I mean if for example I left this rom without updating months or years, or on the contrary is it implemented in a definitive way?

About the rom the only bug I see is the one with the captures, I suppose that with some third-party app it could be used in the meantime, the stock camera app by default saves me in "internal memory / pictures" I would like to change it to SDcard / DCIM / Is the camera possible? since in google photos I have to go to the library and the pictures folder to see them. Above all I am interested in knowing about the safetynet in the long term, I ask about this news https://blog.pixelexperience.org/2021/09/september-update-safetynet-who/ if google can take away the safetynet in pixel experience 12 in the redmi note 8 pro, or on the contrary is it always working already?

I also think I found a bug but I'm not sure, in settings / screen / lock screen / show device controls, if I deactivate it, from the lock screen I can lower the notification bar and turn off the wifi or data, in xiaomi removing that option didn't lower the bar, but I'm not sure if that's that option.

As I say, what I am most interested in knowing is the safetynet that will happen if google could block us or we are sure, I would appreciate a response to that. a greeting

pd: I managed to unlock the bootloader instantly as the colleague said with the mtk tools @kabylfx If you do not want to wait I recommend it, I skip the 360 hour wait at the moment, I will try to send you an mp with the video that I used to unlock, the good thing that it does not format you do not lose any data

Hi all,

I'm on version 11 plus from to month, but from the last week I see a significant decrease in battery life, before I could easly arrive at 2 day with one charge but now I barely arrive to the end of the day.

I red on the forum about some battery issue, but I wonder why these issues appears after a while and not immidiately. I tried to resinstall the latest 11 plus build (the same I had by the way) but nothing change (I thought after a clean reinstall I had the old battery life). Is this about the build or about the phone. What's seems strange to me (in case of battery degradation) is that I get less then half of the battery life in the span of 2 days and not a slow degradation.

Any suggestions?

Hello, does anyone know if you can change the path of the camera app from pixel 12 to SDCARD / DCIM / Camera?

or do you know any gcam that does not have lag? I'm trying some and I found a call GCam_RN8P_Wyroczen_7.3.020_2.0 that works, but it shows lag, it gets more quality than the stock of the rom but I would rather remove the lag, and save where I want, thanks a greeting

But don't need to via MIUI 12.5.x?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
Using the recommended fastboot MIUI versions in the guide prevents hard bricks.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] daggersnz:
The guide is so minimal and vague for someone like me. "Flash latest firmware" does this mean latest MIUI?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
There are firmware, fastboot and recovery files.

You'll find in the guide the fastboot files you'll need. By using those your chances of having issues are minimal

If you really know what you're doing you could flash a firmware, but if things go wrong you might end up with a hard brick (it's fixable but annoying to do in my opinion).
