🤖Retrial-NikGApps📲

I've made my own NikGApps package since I didn't liked the premade packages.

My package replace the basic AOSP/LOS apps with Google one, while keep the device debloated.

Basically it convert vanilla ROM build into GApps build without extra bloatware.
​

🗒️Notes:

[Optional] After Clean Install the ROM+GApps, before you boot to ROM > Reboot to recovery again > Format data once again. (Solves potentinal bootloop issue with NikGApps). OTA working fine.

Do you use this on crdroid 9?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JD. A:
Do you get things like Pixel gps feature on this package on crDroid? I used a fairly same package before and I got it working on crDroid 8 but not on 9. Also why did you include Assistant when Velvet basically overrides the functionality?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
I don't know what you mean with "Pixel gps feature".

As I wrote in notes you need to reboot to recovery again and format data after clean flash the ROM and GApps.

Assistant is a shortcut icon added in launcher. I didn't knew it when I made it, I may remove it in next update.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JD. A:
Oh yeah I probably should have explained it better. Do you get the basic pixel features? Like the translate in the volume bar, pixel rules under system setting, where you can get set rules after gps or wifi and so on. On earlier versions of crDroid everything worked out of the box as long as the gapps package included "Device Personalization Services" or "Android System Intelligence" after they changed the name on it. Now I can't seem to get it to work at all. That's why I was wondering if you got it working with your Nik-gapps package.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
No it doesn't have these.

I guess it's not available in crDroid A13.

I remember I had these rules in crDroid A12L with FlameGApps tho.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] SPLESHER:
Hey, I have included things as Device Personalization Services and other similar things like Private Compute Core in mine NikGApps config, but it still doesn't show for me. Rules only showed for me on Pixel Experience, never on crDroid.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] first_damned:
Ive never had to format after flashing nikgapps but I slim it down a bit more than your package
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] JD. A:
On A12 and A12.1 I got it working no problem with Nikgapps full package where I removed things like the Pixel launcher. I think there's something wrong with the pixel props, but I'm not sure.

What's the recommended way to make full ROM backups now that TWRP by Reignz backup is broken?

I suppose using the old official TWRP wouldn't work anymore if I want to upgrade to an A12 ROM?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Refayatul:
Why not included digital wellbeing?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hi,

I think it's a bloated app, it's just to show time and apps usage stats, I personally don't need it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Pixel Experience dropped (for now?).

Don't expect A13 anytime soon until and if new official maintainer found.

I suggest you, if you are user of it, to move on to another ROM since we already have some perfectly fine ROMs with good and active developers.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] - Chaorrupted X -:
Hi @Retrial ,

The hyperlink for "Custom ROMS -> Android 13 -> AwakenOS" is targeting to the wrong destination.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Fixed.

Thanks for the catch 😜
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pierre2324:
NGK has custom powerhint for libperfmgr because libperfmgr powerhal needs it to understand that gpu freqs are different than what the rom expects. This fixes scrolling and lets the phone use the whole gpu frequency table.

This does not affect reignz roms with qti powerhal... Qti powerhints dont touch gpu so it is not needed and works fine as it is.

NGK will only replace powerhint.json (for libperfmgr powerhal) IF the file is found / if ROM uses libperfmgr. That being said, NGK wont alter powerhint of roms that dont use this specific powerhal. So saying powerhints / powerhal wont work properly is false.

So for those having issues with NGK on a specific rom report in NGK group not in ROMs group. If you have issues as Retrial said go back to stock kernel and remove your magisk modules. If your issue persists then tell it to the ROM maintainer and he'll be happy to help you. ROM maintainers do there stuffs and if you modify it and have issues you are on your own. They won't "fix" their rom for it to work on every single kernel that is out there, it doesnt make any sense.

Hey there, is there any possibility at the moment, to make a working nandroid backup of an encrypted device? (A13, crdroid 9)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
nandroid backup/restore doesn't working properly in TWRP by REIGNZ based on A12 so It's not possible afaik.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] roubi:
Yes, I thought so. I was hoping there was maybe another recovery that can do the job...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yusuf T-Deen:
+1. Nandroid backups are literally an essential part of rooting and flashing because there are so many times when you accidentally screw something up and get into a bootloop, or even just want to rollback to an earlier version of your system.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hello,

You can fix bootloops or go back to previous versions by following my Dirty Installation guide. Basically it's like "clean-dirty" since you wipe system and other partitions except your data. (unless you did something very wrong or messed up with encryption/decryption)

If you are decrypted user (which I don't recommend) then you can use TWRP by REIGNZ based on A9 which I think it's possible to take Nandroid backups.

I personally find a ROM I want and I am stable user, no need to switch ROMs everytime. Choose one stable and active ROM and you are good.

If anyone interesting,

I recently changed my old official battery since I had to charge my device multiple times a day with Nohon from AliExpress, which I bought few months ago.

The results are impressive. SOT is around 11-12h if you drain the whole battery to 0. Check some screenshots here.

Very happy, like a new device :) I definitely recommend you to check it out if you are looking for new battery.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ushilives:
Good to hear. I ordered this Nohan battery about a week ago by a recommendation on Telegram. Will have to wait maybe 7 more weeks but i have heard very good reviews from it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hehe nice 👍

Yeah it took a while for me too, around ~2 months but worth it.

I got it months ago before summer but I decided to install it now since I was charging my device multiple times and I couldn't anymore.

I can't be more happy from the results, I will buy again for sure in 2 years. Depends how long this one will last. Worth it.

I have a link with a video guide in battery section "how to change the battery" if you want to follow when the time comes. 😜

Hello i have a problem when i boot into twrp with fastboot boot reignz 3.6.2 A12 V3 to install twrp recovery but i cant access internal storage it says 0 mb in internal storage.

I tried formatting data but it didn't fix, tried changing file format to ext2 to ext4 again it did fix but when i opened system to transfer rom and recovery image then back to fastboot boot twrp i lost access to internal storage again, it says 0 mb internal storage

How can i fix this ?

Okay, i don't have any problem to reply here

actually it is a long story i don't think you would not like to hear it from the beginning

if you are already in CRdroid or NGK telegram group then you already know bcs I'm actively posting there from few days regarding my issue

Currently the issue is my phone is going into bootloop when i unplug the charger (the initial issue was error in Google play service)

Now the issue changed to save my Internal storage data. After trying several method and changing ROMs it didn't worked lastly "pierre" Suggested me to go back to Stock miui (to check whether it is a battery issue or with ROM or kernel). so i flashed my device to Stock firmware

But i thought if i will choose to flash it without erasing user data in mi flash tool my bootloader would be unlock and also my twrp recovery. so i did not back up my data.

Now in MIUI it is showing as Encryption error and to factory reset the data

i did not erased yet, trying to find some solution to recover it so i approached you lastly

I tried to flash twrp in fastboot but unfortunately the bootloader is locked so can't.

please help me to recover my data brother. Without my data I'm dead. please give me any solution.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hi,

I am on telegram but I don't pay much attention to groups, since a lot of guys (not all) there are clueless and smartasses and a lot of groups have immature admins, generally f1 community is toxic, so yeah I haven't seen ur issue there 😋

The bootloop when you unplug the charger is probably -90%- your battery. You need to replace it. I suggest you Nohon battery.

About ur latest issue with MIUI, I don't think there is much you can do if your bootloader is locked, you need to perform format data to fix the encryption issue to enter the ROM. If you connect your phone to PC it doesn't show (at PC) the Internal Storage right?

-You should always backup your data before doing that stuff- 😕

Yes, that is so true. in telegram groups everyone acts like a developer there 😂

About the bootloop issue after formatting data. I see inside sdcard>MIUI>debug_log>powerinfo>result_reason file it says "Abnormal kernel reboot records"

so what that could mean? Is it for some hardware or any software or android architecture malfunction? IDK

If you have any idea please let me know

and my phones battery % also don't fluctuate much its remains to 100% as when i unplug the cable and use it it crashes into bootloop

Are you 100% sure that it could be battery dead issue? but idk how it could be dead suddenly when it was just working fine giving me atleast 3-4 hours of SOT.

My bootloader is unlocked I can see in developer option as i did not choose to lock it while flashing.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] dev.muk:
I saw your suggestion for Nohon battery

but unfortunately all alibaba sites are blocked in my country (India) 😕

idk know if i still place any order they are going to deliver it or not. is there any other brand or vendor you could suggest?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] - Chaorrupted X -:
Hi @dev.muk ,

There is a high possibility that the bootloop is due to your battery problem.

I faced similar issue in 2021. My device sometimes randomly restart/bootloop when I'm not charging. My device temperature was normal at that time, even the battery was almost on full charge. Based on battery app, it was reported as healthy battery. After I plugged in my charger, the restart/bootloop issue stopped.

I bought a new battery afterward and replace it, and the issue solved. I did not experience any restart/bootloop up until now.

Your battery may look healthy, but probably the power draw is not stable (bad battery). Hence, the bootloop.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] dev.muk:
I see 👀

so unless I check that by replacing the battery, I cannot find the actual reason.

BTW I'm looking forward to order a new battery for the phone, but I'm not sure which brand to choose

can you suggest me any?

In India it's really hard to find a genuine or decent product online especially in these kind of electronic accessories like battery, charger, earphones etc.

And One more thing i had to ask you

As bcs i was constantly flashing New ROMs or Kernels (to fix the issue) from few days, So could this harm my device in any way or Could it be permanently dead if i have messed up something wrongly? I fear bcs someone in telegram has told me that my device is permanently gone. Does this happen usually? Like if I had flashed it in any wrong procedure or method?

And lastly thank you so much for your time to check my issue and reply on it.

If you into modding you can try Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M1) battery, its dangerous but if done good its a nice result, @omgdudee https://t.me/batterybanker in telegram selling original battery, don't know if he still does, but people that get from him gave good reviews.

Its hard to kill poco with only software, unless you were using d8g kernel 😂 or hardbrick your phone (not the case because you still using it) then you would need EDL Authorization, to go back to stock.

I changed roms and kernel so many times i lost count, if really messed up just flash stock rom with xiaomi mi flash tool( careful not to relock bootloader) and you good to start flashing again...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] dev.muk:

Yes it will fit, just battery bord need to be solder changed for a poco one, you can use it from your old battery...

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] HannibalLecter:
I was using AWAKEN OS all stock and my speakers have been FRIED.

The ROM probably has increased values for Speakers and it has destroyed my phone's speakers

this has never happened to me since 2011 more than 10 years of rooting phones and installing custom ROMS. I never increase gain or change stock values of speakers but if ROMs are gonna destroy phones at stock values what are we going to do???

AWAKEN OS please consider reverting to safe values
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] KKShedge:
awakenOS does not ship with modified gains
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Hi,

AwakenOS never increased values for speakers. It's the same stock values. None else reported this.

Are you sure you didn't flashed any module or "volume fix" which you found in telegram groups?

Did you used any other ROM before that happened?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] HannibalLecter:
nope. Did not flash anything. I never do. I know increased gains can destroy speakers.

I have been here for more than 10 years and understand how these things can damage internals.

Hence I never use custom kernels. always and always use stock.

I had been using Awaken only for the longest time. No other ROM is smoother.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] HannibalLecter:
I am also shocked and surprised at this.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
As I said and been informed by @REIGNZ3, the values are stock, he didn't increased them.

It may also be ur hardware or something, as you said you u are using awaken for long time (and I guess you didn't have any issue) and other users haven't report anything like that.

So now your speakers are completely broken?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] HannibalLecter:
not completely broken. when speakers are exposed to too much voltage, they start to rattle and knock. the voice that comes out is not clear. its rattly if that's a word.

I have experienced this with my laptop and tv in both of those case, I manually increased gain.

It must be something in Awaken that caused it.

in my other phone, I have 2 poco f1s, I am using the oxygen OS port and it has dolby atmos inbuilt and the voice is clearer, deeper and louder than any other custom ROM and that is working just fine.

Bought both together.

only difference is I was using awaken in one and that oxygen OS port in the other and the Oxygen os one is still going well.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Retrial:
Did you tried to clean install the ROM?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] HannibalLecter:
