@ManuD_Linux When you installed non official ROMs from manufacture -- whether it's "official" or "unofficial", all the responsibilities are shifted to you -- all the annoyances, bugs, everything. Especially when trying to find the "right" ROM to flash, expect to become an "unofficial" tester for the rom since most, if not all, ROMs developer does have resource to do in depth release testing, even more, regression tests etc. If you have involved in developing Linux, this happens there too. Most, if not all, testing is done voluntarily in their machine too, no one knows whether the next build could *brick* your PC.

I understand completely your reasons. But again, if you're not willing to be open to use vulnerable community crafted ROMs, you can always go back using device official stable OS -- it's always (hopefully), stable than anything in here. You can complaints anything there, explain your "rights" as customer when finding breaking bugs, demands fast actions to manufacturers -- even if they are cost you some money, you can bring down courts to them, but not in here. This is for point #3.

I'm no expert in encryption here, you might want to ask respectable TWRP developers -- I find they usually master in how the file systems work. This is for point #4.

Yes, there is quite good backup app called Swift Backup (paid) in Google Play Store, it can restore, at some point, app data as well. It's not perfect, the method is not open source, and true, it needs root. But then again if you're not willing use root, you can have it restores your phone first, then go unroot your phone like I do, it's okay. I do not fancy root as well. *Do not use* this app data restore feature on secure app like banking. Better to setup it manually from the app. It might be lengthy process, but better than having your account blacklisted. This is for point #5.

Hopefully you can find it reassuring.

Alright so idk the rules but I want to help so if anybody has this issue with sensors can solve it. I accidentally cleared the persist partition when I installed the rom causing all sensors to stop working. This will solve it. https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-about-repairing-fixing-the-persist-partition.4086297/

Mods please delete this message if it's against the rules.

Edit: Corrected link.

Yeah happened to me as well.. formatting does suck... I did learn my lesson tho... Next time I update crdroid is through recovery only!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
First of all, I will try my best to be more pedagogical, it's really a point. But you can imagine seeing this, for me as a so called "flashaholic" and rom lover, for the (felt) thousandth time over years makes me mad. And I can't simply ignore it, let's say it's an attitude thing. I see that it hit the false one a little this time. But also see I saw devs left projects for exactly those reasons, and I understand that, because after a while it might feel ungrateful while they're doing what they can, for less, in free time, managing their life. And that's where I come up to jump in. But you stated points that I will gratefully take with me for the future. Salut.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ManuD_Linux:
Hello everyone,

I will not respond to your reactions individually, but I thank you very much for your tips and comments :-)

And I agree with all of you on one thing that is very important to emphasize, and I would like to take this opportunity to do it again: we must indeed thank the developers and other hackers who give of their time and their expertise so that we can have products that are open source, respectful of privacy, more often updated, etc. compared to what is installed by the manufacturers on the phones. Indeed, we are not in a classic customer / supplier relationship. The people who help us don't owe us anything, so yes: THANKS TO THEM :)

Hello

i like this rom. but i have an issue. i connected a gamepad with interchangable modes, i calibrate the gamepad using panda gamepad. when i'm on xbox 360 controller mode all buttons are not working especially the analog. then i switch to any mode other than the xbox 360 mode all buttons worked, but again not the analog still not working. i'm currently on version 7.5.

sorry for my english

thank you
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
Very interestingly (and I can't believe it) are the clean (!) flash instructions in the telegram group. Accordingly, NO need to even wipe /data if switching or upgrading to this ROM. This means for me, no need to re-install all user apps. As mentioned, I can't believe...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
But there is format data with the slightly misleading "(if encrypted)" that leads to the same result. Generally includes a real clean installation a data wipe, that's the safe side.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ManuD_Linux:
That's what I thought too. When upgrading from crDroid 6.x to version 7.x (Android 10 -> Android 11), obviously I formatted everything (wipe all, Format: yes).

After that, my data was well encrypted, and TWRP or Orage Fox had no problem decrypting them by drawing my code. However, following instability after going from a crDroid 7.x to 7.y. This is where mg712702 told me that I had to wipe all / Format data.

Anyway, I followed the advice given to me here: I actually formatted everything, I reinstalled everything, and above all, I took the precaution of installing #dfe. My data is no longer encrypted, but I have to admit it: I no longer have random reboots, and the ROM is working like a charm...

So, it seems true that the random reboot when the GPS is active is related to the data encryption (why ???).
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
... that's why I explicitly asked if formatting or wiping of data can be skipped if already unencrypted and this was confirmed (see lower part of screenshot)...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Elinx:
If the phone is decrypted already.

Format data isn't neccessary, but you must flash dfe everytime and always as last.

If you forget this the system doesn't start.

Flash dfe and it does

I installed this rom, and everything works perfectly until now, but I just have a minor issue. I cannot sync my google contacts. The contacts app is recognising the connection with my google account. I first installed the micro nikk gapps, and later tried with the basic gapps package that already comes with google contacts, but the issue is the same. I connect with my google account. Playstore uses the account, but the contacts app acts as if I'm not connected to any account. Anyone knows how to fix this?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Tried wiping data from play services and reboot.? Might help.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] punkJD:
I was trying the stock gapps package, but as soon as I install it, the phone stops booting. I will try again with basic package and wipe play services data and see what happens.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] punkJD:
No luck. I cleaned the play services cache. Rebooted, contacts app still doesn't sync with my account. Very weird.

I installed a new version, everything seems to be good, finally fixed range wi-fi 5 GHz, but the loading speed of 5 GHz wi-fi does not rise more than 50 mbit\s and uploading is good -100 mbit\s Is it possible to fix it somehow? In the settings of the wifi connection it shows - 433 mbit/s (up/down)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mg712702:
Maybe something wrong in your router?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] In_Flames_81:
The rom is great, very fluid and customizable.

The only "bug" I found is related to launcher and the blur behind the recents apps, if you swipe up from dock when an app is on full screen the blur disapear, if you are in home screen and swipe up from dock the blur is ok.

I updated using the ota with no problem, new power menu works and advanced restart also works, press restart and then choose which type of restart you want to do(system/recovery/bootloader). Thanks again for this great rom. :)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lifesaver38:
Very strange...

The update failed for me with the crdroid tool. So i updated in recovery mode.

And it's very strange i lost the power menu with advanced restart...

For the rest of the features, everything works perfectly!
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lifesaver38:
another problem more urgent...

I note bugs with AudioFX when i listen music with my bluetooth headphone. Without knowing why, so without knowing it, the equalizer turns off quite quickly. Only solution, the restart of the smartphone. It's a problem for me because I do not have an app supplied with my headphone, then I have to go through an equalizer on my smartphone to get a nice sound. Under Havoc 3.12, I did not have AudioFX, the equalizer was basic but very stable. Is AudioFX really indispensable? I do not find it terrible personally, unless there is a progress that I have not noted ;-)

Good evening. I just installed the latest build using TWRP 3.5.2 and it does not recognize my SIM card or any wifi network. Anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: Now works after a clean flash with the latest Global Firmware. (I am using one in the US)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mg712702:
Maybe gapps issue, try different gapps package
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fionnlagh:
First of all, many thanks for this rom :)

I recently installed version 7.7 (Clean flash, with the latest firmware, OpenGapps Nano, Disable DM Verity) . Everything worked quite good, I just noticed that my phone randomly restarts, mostly when it's in my pocket or its laying on it's screen (Probably a problem with the proximity sensor or something)

Not a big problem.

Yesterday I attempted to do an OTA upgrade to v7.8 . after it installed itself without showing any error messages, rebooting my phone always boots back to recovery.

It seems that the update successfully destroyed the system :D

I use TWRP 3.4.0-0 (its not the latest version but it works)

I am now trying to wipe System, Dalvik and cache and reinstall version 7.8. Hopefully that does it. :) If not, ok clean flash again.

EDIT: Nope, that didn't do it. Clean flash it is.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mg712702:
Use orangefox recovery instead & there is no random reboot in latest builds, maybe any mod u r using causing issue...

@mg712702, thank you for maintaning this excellent rom! I flashed v7.8 onto my backup phone (ginkgo), everything works. The wifi did have hard time connecting to 5G APs initially, but after wipe caches, it works perfectly.

There is one thing I am trying to do, but can't seem to be able to do it: On my primary phone, I set up the notification light to pulse (breath) when there is a notitication (missing call / unread text message, for example), but on this ginkgo with v7.8, the notification light flashes once, then it won't come on again.

I also try the edge light, it behaves the same way, lights up once, but never come on again.

Is there any way to configure it like my primary phone? Did I miss anything? Thanks.

Latest OrangeFox, lastest Chinese weekly firmware and latest OpenGapps pico. Encryption disalbed, no Magisk.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] zenio2009:
Hi, try this method: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/install-viper4android-android-10-guide/

but after step 11

11 Once the device reboots, go to ‘Magisk Manager’ › ‘Modules’ and uncheck the ‘Audio Modification Library’ to disable it.

you must reboot device.

11.1 step reboot.

and next step is 12 Now head back to ViPER4Android, repeat the driver installation process, and let the device reboot.

Unfortunately viper dont load properly sound drivers sometimes.

but the phone had some strange behavior...
