I just installed the new version, 02/10, and I tried to disable system navbar (under evolver settings) since I wanted to try if in this version I can remove the white navigation stick at the bottom, as I stated few posts ago (#242).

As soon as I touched the settings, the phone locked by itself, and started turn off and on the display repeatedly.

Reboot did not fix, so I reflashed and nothing. I also refreshed the 02/05 but same thing. As soon as I put my sim pin, I can't even unlock that the display goes off and on forever. What can I do? I really don't want to reset.

I have the latest firmware

Edit: after vary attempts, I was able to use my phone again. After reboot, i clicked emergency call, than i pulled the notification panel and clicked the settings icon. Apparently (I think) this did not start systemui (that was continuously crashing) so I was able to revert the navbar setting.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manelit:
you can hide the pill (the white stick at the bottom) in settings -> the evolver -> navigation -> System navigation -> gesture navigation settings -> and in gesture bar length just slide to hidden

flash disable dm verify zip?

after 6h troubleshooting i'm finally get boot up

i realized my phone volume up button keep pressing with a case so it keep boot to recovery

whats a stupid of me :ROFLMAO:
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] a83:
thank you for a great rom!

clean install over latest miui,

have an issue with the default apps page,

when trying to change any of the default apps to something else (browser\SMS etc)

nothing happens, the radio button stays on whatever is already chosen,

the same issue with permission changes, for example,

I can not give a certain app the "display over other apps" permission, the radio button just don't move,

Does anyone have the same?

thanks :)

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] a83:
Yes I did,I've found out that many of the setting buttons are non responsive, cannot tuggle any permition for example
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foletto@vodafone.it:
Hi,

When I power on the phone, no notifications come up in the lockscreen until I unlock it.

I think the all the app services starts only after the first unlock after a boot.

Is there a setting that set the phone to load all (mail, whatsapp messages etc. etc.) even if I don't unlock it?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] maxihouston:
Thanks!!

this rom is perfect for me, all ready, only two questions.

i'm running google camera 8.1.101 but i think is worse quality than xiaomi, the famous question "what is the camera app that yours recommend? config?

Is there a way to add a call record button or do it with a third party app?

Thanks Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rauldzmartin:
But why do you need to have that shortcut there? To clear all apps all the time?. That's super inefficient for the system.

Better if is @DarkAngelGR 🙃
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Cooper A:
Something like that: Most of the time I open the apps from the screen and don't care about recent items. By the time it will be an endless row which I can't clear easily. Samsung corrected this button and I think other manufacturers too.

Hello everyone, hope you doing great!

New update is out (02/24/2021)

Download here

Changelog here (the IMS blobs update has been reverted)

Notes:

1) My Dipper has officially died due to UFS storage being bad and now doesn't even boot (I used to have low memory speeds like 20mb/s read and write which would make phone take minutes to boot), so that means that I will be not able to update as frequently.

2) Regarding today's update I have uploaded 2 builds, the first one that got pushed as OTA seems to have not working outgoing calls, so I made a new one (EvolutionX_5.4_dipper-11-20210224-1338-OFFICIAL) so please install this one to avoid any issues, sorry for the inconvenience.

Bonjour à tous, j'espère que vous allez bien!

La nouvelle mise à jour est sortie (24/02/2021)

Téléchargez ici

Changelog here (la mise à jour des blobs IMS a été annulée)

Remarques:

1) Mon Dipper est officiellement mort en raison d'un stockage UFS défectueux et ne démarre même plus (j'avais l'habitude d'avoir des vitesses de mémoire faibles comme 20 Mo / s en lecture et en écriture, ce qui ferait que le téléphone prenne quelques minutes pour démarrer), ce qui signifie que je ne sera pas en mesure de mettre à jour aussi fréquemment.

2) En ce qui concerne la mise à jour d'aujourd'hui, j'ai téléchargé 2 builds, le premier qui a été poussé comme OTA semble ne pas avoir fonctionné pour les appels sortants, alors j'ai fait un nouveau (EvolutionX_5.4_dipper-11-20210224-1338-OFFICIAL) donc s'il vous plaît installer ceci un pour éviter tout problème, désolé pour la gêne occasionnée.

Veuillez également comprendre que je dois lire les réponses d'ici, tout en étant informé des problèmes sur un appareil que je n'ai même pas ou pour lequel je ne développe pas et que je ne suis pas d'humeur à me battre avec quelqu 'un sur XDA.

update from the website fix the problem. thanks for the good rom

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] luigir-it:
I don't think I understand you.

If you are coming from another rom, you can't dirty flash. You can dirty flash an update (I thought this was your problem since the last ota was broken). For the firmware, if you need to install it, just flash it in twrp. You have to type your password, if the phone is encrypted, and then just flash the zip.

Anyone else is using screen mirroring to stream content to a TV or similar?

It seems that this function is broken since the last update

broken on EvolutionX_5.4_dipper-11-20210224-1017-OFFICIAL (as also cellular phone calls after OTA update)

Hi, I want to update to the last rom via twrp - because OTA rom is broken - but I have no password requests...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foletto@vodafone.it:
Sorry, I found the problem: twrp was asking me for the unlock gesture, not the password.

I did it and after I succesfully updated to last rom.

Thank you very much for the support!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sandman01:
that means your phone is not encrypted at the moment.

simply follow the instructions in the initial post and flash the ROM

PS:

only if you have encrypted your phones partitions previously, you need to enter your unlock code when entering TWRP to unlock the partitions to be readable otherwise you will only see the partition contend with confusing alphanumeric characters.

so you haven't encrypted your phone, that's not problem this is an optional safety feature that isn't required

You only need to take care about your TWRP version if the phone is encrypted, because not all versions can handle the encryption properly (but thats not your case :-) )
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarkAngelGR:
If others have the issue as well I know what caused it but I can't test it myself since my Dipper doesn't work. I plan on making a new update soon so it would be good if others can test cast as well so I can know in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sandman01:
No problem If you like me to test features, you are very welcome.

I will do a dirty flash and try to help as good as I can.

Is there a list of tests,.. you like to check before post the ROM to others than let me know.

I check the SMSC number, good.

tried different SMS App, same issue.

put my SIM in a different phone, got SMS alright.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

What do you mean "removing the leftover apps"?

Did you wipe your phone partitions before switching to this ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Alyx89:
I wiped system/cache as per the flash instructions was I supposed to wipe anything else ?

I managed to find some Xiaomi apps left after the flashing process so I uninstalled them
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] arifqur:
Dude you have to wipe Data/System/Caches in recovery before flashing a custom rom. It is also standard practice tp Format Data by Typing "yes" in recovery, when coming from an MIUI rom.

Then flash the custom rom and hopefully all you issues will be solved
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Alyx89:
I'll try that, thanks for the tip.
