ROM has been working more or less perfect until latest update. Now I'm struggling with freezing apps, app crashes, Outlook can't collect/send new e-mail without restarting my unit etc. Using latest version, Magisk latest, suggested TWRP version. Updated version/versions via phone interface. Somebody have a idea, do I need to make a clean new installation wipe everything first? Tx in advance for your support
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] iikuba:
There is an issue, I am not sure it is related to ROM, but maybe someone could help me or at least explain such behavior?

The case:

- Stone pyramid live wallpaper does not work. I suppose it should be pre-set when you boot the system the first time? Because my main and lock screens are just black when I boot the system after ROM installation. Also, the manual setting of this wallpaper does not change anything.

That would not be an issue at all, as I actually do not want to use that wallpaper. But I suppose that is somehow related to the actual issue described below.

- When I use third-party live wallpaper

(this one to be precise - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homm3.livewallpaper&hl=en_US&gl=US),

each time I reboot the system - the stone pyramid image is flashing for 1 second, and only then my wallpaper is loading.

I would suppose it somewhy shows the previous wallpaper before loading the actual one, but I changed several wallpapers before settings the needed one.

It seems like it each time shows the first live wallpaper in the list before loading the wallpaper that is actually set.

Sounds stupid, I know, that's a very minor issue but it is frustrating.

Any ideas on how to solve that? Or maybe how to delete all live wallpapers from the device to make the needed wallpaper the only one installed?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I did a dirty flash from the previous version after making all relevant backups. No issues here.

You're having isolated multiple issues, so it seems a clean flash is recommended.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I haven't seen reports that that version fixes nightlight.

In the meantime try Twilight from Google's Play Store.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
Degrading performance can be due to many things (modules or kernels for instance).

You might want to try clean flashing first, then check performance without installing anything extra for a while (like camera modules if you have any). I'd consider Magisk an exception because it's working fine here.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grokker:
I can see there's a new version of this ROM since April 16th.

Is it possible to get an OTA update without going into TWRP/OrangeFox recovery? How do I do that?

If not, can I dirty flash it?

What's the recommended procedure?

Thanks for any help.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
I did a dirty flash manually. Not sure if you can update through OTA using TWRP.

My dirty flash method:

Make backups using two methods (TWRP partition backup and apps + data);

Upload all necessary files to SDCARD (PE+ 11, latest twrp and Magisk);

Boot to recovery;

Update recovery to the latest TWRP (since this is a image file and not a zip, you have to select install -> install image -> select the latest twrp -> select the recovery partition; DO NOT. I REPEAT, DO NOT flash to the wrong partition or you'll deserve what you get!);

Reboot to recovery (download link is 3.5.1 but in recovery the version says 3.5.2; works just as well);

Wipe only Dalvik Cache and Cache;

Flash PE+ 11;

Flash Magisk;

Reboot to system;

Profit.

Don't forget to read this and don't jump step #4 to avoid encrypting your files.

Compass.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grokker:
Thank you for your reply. That procedure is well beyond any layman skills. I put PE on my brother's phone and he won't be able to do this with every update. I'm afraid I'll have to look for a different ROM if no OTA from the running phone is not available (and I don't mean OTA from TWRP, but from the running Android phone).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Compass Linux:
Then you'll have to look around for a Custom ROM that supports OTA updates.

PE+ 11 has a "System Update" setting but I've never used it. Not sure if it only downloads the update or installs it as well.

One thing you should know though. Usually between major updates (Android 10 -> Android 11) within the same ROM a clean flash is recommended (the developer will probably block OTA's in this case).

This means at some point in time you're likely to have to update manually by doing a clean flash.

Compass.

Also the nightlight bug is really strange - i enable the option with overlay HW in debugging options, but after restart the option is disabled again - why?

I have a problem. Everything installs well and the ROM seems to be working, but when I try to go to the recovery to flash Magisk etc. it has all the files encrypted. I haven't set up any passwords in the ROM so it doesn't ask for a password.

What can I do? Recovery is useless like this, and I've tried different versions of it but th ROM seems to encrypt everything.

[Huawei Watch] stewarta13wsb:
Not sure if it's because it's currently paired to a Note 20 Ultra or if it's a setting I can't find, but although the steps seem OK, the calories burned and the distance walked seem to be about double what I would expect.

For example on the main Health page, at the top, it says I've got 9983 steps, which is about right, but it also says 794 calories and 12.43 miles??

If I go into devices and just look at the watch results, I get the same steps, and 394 calories and 4.27 miles - these sound about right.

Any thoughts appreciated. But maybe all will be well if my Huawei watch from China ever arrives :(

EDIT: A bit more reading suggests you get around 50 calories for every 1,000 steps - so one is miles over and one is under!

Anybody else having an issue?
[Huawei Watch] stewarta13wsb:
Nobody having any issues with the GT2 pro then? Must be the Note 20 Ultra.
[Huawei Watch] NandoKerry:
Not that nobody having that issue, it's more nobody is paying attention to that. The other day I was doing heavy weight lifting 10 minuts in total. As Huwei Health calculated I burned exactly 2 calories :ROFLMAO: It's the other way around with steps count. Way off...around 2x more. Both my and my wife's watch. So it gives...yes there are issues.

People are more interested with fancy watch faces, not so much if data presented to them are real. Only my two cents

EDIT: And BTW...pretty sure nothing wrong with yours Note 20 Ultra
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] RazaBlada:
Hi!

I've unlocked the bootloader, and got Magisk installed (patched?), and I'm granted root.

And I got the possibility, and am able to uninstall Google- and Xiaomi-related apps that I don't either need or/and want on my device.

So I wanted to ask if there's some list someone can refer me to that's updated, and reliable year 2020?

Since I'm good with removing apps/packages that I shouldn't, since I mostly end up in bootloops, having to restart with everything, so that's the reason why I ask?

My goal in the end is to be able to get rid of as much as possible of Google and Xiaomi-related APK's/packages.

With best regards.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
Try disabling the updater app without uninstalling it.

May I ask why you want to keep on MIUI V12.0.4.0 ?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] gruka:
ok good question there are programs which i want to install in the phones for my children after i have rooted so my fear is once they update the phone the root will go away and the programs will be erased
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
Certainly.

I'm not sure about it.

But probably there are many and many apps designed for parental protection.

You need to try each one and see if it is enought to you.

I have an ideia.

You can install another launcher (like nova launcher) and hide unwanted apps from drawer.

Good luck

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] VD171:
"the root will go away" you need to flash using fastboot and avoid flashing the boot partition and root will keep working.

"programs will be erased" you don't need to erase your data for upgrading. you can flash and update your system without wipe data.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] NippleSauce:
Makes sense that all apps wouldn't be visible on Android 11 for this particular phone.

Something slightly separate, but I had an Android 11 Pixel 3XL over a year ago, and the file managers still worked normally. On this phone, however, since upgrading to the Android 11 Beta, the file managers (I've already tried three different ones) don't work at all when you go to the non-root required drive section that stores your non-system applications (stuff you got from the Play Store). It just shows that every single folder aside from the download folder is empty now on every file manager... So something is most definitely wrong with their current hard drive storage/access on Android 11 - and that could also possibly be why certain apps aren't showing up in the package disabler.

By the way, we have Android 11 Beta4 dropping on this Tuesday (12AM EST), so the official release will probably be around Christmas time (exactly four weeks after beta 4 releases). So we'll see if either of these updates fix this goofy issue.

I'm pretty sure you can't disable knox on what I assume is an unrooted device (wouldn't need this if you are rooted). Maybe I'm wrong but also you're assuming this user has zero use for some features enabled through knox. Also they are asking if they should enable the knox features in the app. Not IF they should disable knox.

That's a bit of a heavy handed approach if you aren't sure of what the user is trying to accomplish.
