Is someone able to update the TWRP link in the wiki here?:

https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/begonia/install/

Or can anyone suggest an update? Didn't find an option to do that.

It's fine to just update the TWRP and after that decrypting (and installing PE updates) should work, right?

Updated from previous version -- microphone no longer works in (regular) phone calls -- but does with e.g. WhatsApp... Any ideas?

[EDIT] Never mind -- I bit the bullet and formatted everything, clean flashed the latest build (20210514), formatted DATA, and the microphone is working again....

Phone Call -> i can't stop call sometimes -> i must reboot phone (very big bug)

Phone Call -> Microphone over Bluetooth not working

Phone Call -> Volume can't adjust -> always loud

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] zeruka:
Yes! I hadn't reported it because I'd assume that if it was happening to other people it would have been addressed in an update. And if not, then my phone would have some issue specifically with it that wouldn't be relevant to anyone else.

But yeah. Thought I would reply after seeing that as it is getting a bit annoying for me as well.

First thing, the stuttering / lock-ups have improved since the last update. It was about two update cycles ago when I started to notice this issue. I don't know how it's presenting for you or anyone else of course..

But, for me. The phone will lock-up on a screen, barely moving for about 20 seconds, and then all of a sudden snap back to working again. This probably happens once an hour for me. It's much more noticeable within the first 20ish minutes of powering on the device, and when there's a load on the RAM so it seems, particularly if a couple of videos are loaded.

This doesn't happen too often, but I guess the most irritating thing is when I'm listening to YT music or Spotify and all of a sudden the phone starts struggling to keep playing the music. Then for the next several minutes is noticeably jumpy/skippy.

Sorry about that random info just I threw out there guys. But I thought it may help in possibly identifying the issue if other people are having it.

So in summary (for me):

Is most noticeable at start-up and if there's a heavy media load in the background. Causes the entire OS to stutter when it happens (all sounds are affected). Started happening around the stable release of PE Android 11. Has improved since the last update.

Thank you guys. Appreciate the hard work regardless. :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] biso46:
I switched to PE+ April build and the stuttering was a bit less than PE May build but still it happens way too often to make the user experience bad.

On May build, I sometimes got "System UI is not responding" and seems like the problem is with System UI unable to handle load (specially when there is audio and video/animations on the screen).

This ROM is pretty much perfect expect for this issue that makes it very annoying to use and might make me switch back to MIUI, I hope this issue could be fixed in the next build. Keep up the great work💪🏽

Hi,

Installed the latest version, Android 11 (plus version) 2021-05-14. Just as the tutorial says and everything went fine. No issues there.

Although, using it further, I found some issues:

The wide lens of the camera (0.6x) wasn't available.

I may try to find install the old Original Xiaomi Camera app

The "reading mode" or "night mode" make the phone go CRAZY and totally nonfunctional.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] caravaggio971:
Same here. I tried to flash dot os and I get the same problem.

I expérience random crash of the phone app and the only way to get it back to work is to reboot.

The fact that it happens using different A11 based roms makes me believe that the problem depends on android.

Bit lost, not like the old days of CM and the likes im afraid

Keep getting bootloops upon flashing TWRP (wont go past redmi logo and will just keep rebooting till said point) - went so far as needing to reflash the OEM ROM via miflash tools.

Ive tried everything and various methods of flashing - ADB CMD and 2 different programs made for the device, the VBM authentication, manually booting into recovery etc NOTHING will boot into TWRP, when it doesnt boot loop i simply get the stock recovery

Phone is unlocked, bootloader unlocked ofc, and every instruction followed to a T more than once

What am i doing wrong?

Downloading the latest Europe version from the official TWRP site - https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote8pro.html

"twrp-3.5.2_9-0-begonia.img" and ive been cross referencing various guides on the Redmi note 8 pro not just relying on a singular article.

The official TWRP site gives information on disabling AVB and i followed that to a tee aswell as there instructions for installing via means of ADB - i also tried with Xiaomitool both with the official TWRP download and the one the xiaomitool selects and downloads for you - no success with either, wether i disable the AVB or not there is no luck

Currently running official MiUI ROM from there website filename "begonia_global_images_V12.0.8.0.QGGMIXM_20210514.0000.00_10.0_global_d29348a29b" that i have reflashed twice now after bootlooping - i worked this out on my own accord from previous experience and knowledge flashing devices - device runs as per factory UI would

Hey, thanks for the great rom. My front camera with the new sensor actually works on this! I haven't had any of the stuttering issues described by others. Only downside for me was that there is a lot of Google stuff installed by default which I am not a fan of, but I guess that is to be expected on a ROM called 'Pixel Experience' :). I uninstalled most Google stuff apart from the Play store and everything is still running smoothly. Thanks again!

did you install magisk?

beacuse i do. and i use it for dnscript and adaway. im just trying to figure it out what makes it stuttering to. and i use the Pixel Experience Plus latest evrsion available. now im using the pixel experience non plus version. for now without magisk, and wait until 1 week and ill install magisk if the same still happen maybe thats whats makes it fr now 24 hour its still runs fine

Hey, I have installed the latest A11(Plus edition rom) , I'm not sure why "Hey Google/ Ok Google" are not working, it just never gets activated even while having a conversation with the assistant, I think since this is custom it might be missing some packages or is it a bug?

Don't use TWRP, use PBR instead https://pitchblackrecovery.com/begonia/.

Format the /userdata (internal storage) and /cache partition. also close the avb2

From my experience bootloops happened because the rom can't access the encrypted /userdata partition because it have been encrpted with password / fingerprint / lockscreen from the last rom.

Yes i started to have freezes and sound stattering when watching videos too. Rom worked well for like 3 weeks, then I noticed it. It happens also for other apps with videos, for example Instagram. Whole app freeze and sometimes it shows that "app is unresponsive". It is also noticable when I use volume button and slider pops out, then video lags for 1 sec or more. YT music works though.

@grimmyxx do you have installed "oversharpen video fix" that remove hdr in videos? Maybe that's the problem. If so, do let me know, because I think I have this issue after flashing this fix, but I am not sure.

I've had issues with that game on stock MIUI 12 so it could just be that the game isn't well optimized for the device. I did notice a lot of other games having issues too like pokemon go so I'm going with this to see if it's any better. It could just be too many background tasks, I know facebook often causes ram issues because of all the bloat it has in the background.

I've just installed Pixel Experience (A11) yesterday on my RN8P and so far is great! I've even found a great gcam with GCamator and installed the Bufferfix without root. So far I'm really happy with this ROM. I've just found a couple of things you may be able to help with:

1) While charging, I never get to "Charging Rapidly" just "Charging", is fast charge supported?

2) In Google Photos, Library takes a while to load...
