[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Communos:
Due to dynamic partition, the system gets resized after you flash system and reboot, leaving no space for gapps, so flash gapps before first boot, or you could use Magisk module gapps, here's the link:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1JBeuXQsHXy-T5hFcxmRQFBwh5yRRnKf1&export=download

Also note that first boot is a bootloop, you need to force reboot after waiting a minute or so

Please let me know if you still have issues, I'll fix them in next build.
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ragod45:
Hi, i just tried again, installed rom, installed magisk and booted sucessfully without bootloops.

FLAME,OPEN and NIK GAPPS wont work at all!

after the system booted, i updated magisk and installed magisk module gapps. after reboot, i tried to open the google store but got stuck on logo from the app and thats it. so ill be waiting for next build to see if we got some bug fixes. thanks for the hard work !
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Communos:
I see, thanks for reporting, I'll fix this in next build, stay updated :)
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MyBrainIsAStrainer:
That is what I did. I installed ArrowOS with OpenGapps as an additional ZIP. ArrowOS installs fine, then the installer for OpenGapps says there isn't enough room on the system partition and exits with error code 70.

Only the FlameGapps install without error, but then the system won't start (endless ArrowOS logo).

That one sort of works, but there seem to be a few stability issues. I often get the message that the Google Play services had repeatedly crashed. Play Store works fine for me, although I had to restart the app once.

All in all, it seems usable, but I'm not sure it's reliable.

So far, I encountered only minor issues. Like some developer settings that are present in other ROMs but seem to be missing here:

I can't find an option to enable adb root access. Running 'adb root' anyway prints the error: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".

There's also no option to enable the extended restart (where you can select if you want to boot into recovery, bootloader, or normal system). I also can't take a screenshot from the restart menu. Stuff like that isn't critical, but helpful for people like me who can't remember all the different key combos.

One weird problem I encountered is with Here WeGo (a navigation app from the Play Store that I like because you can use it offline). At first, it works fine. But when you then tell it to use the SD card for those offline maps (and not the precious internal memory), the apps freezes every time it tries to start. You have to uninstall and reinstall it to make it lose its settings and work again. I guess I can use it with the internal storage for now, but it does cost me ~1.5 GB that I could find other uses for. Again, I'm not sure if this is your build's fault, but it worked on every other ROM and phone I've tried so far. In case it's important: I get no permission request for the SD card when I switch the storage in the app.

And while I'm at it: Any idea why the internal storage is only 8 GB total? I bought the device with 64 GB. I understand that there's bound to be some overhead for A/B stuff, recovery, and whatnot, but I've lost almost an order of magnitude here. It seems odd. EDIT: Ok, I have reinstall ArrowOS, but this time, I formatted the partitions first in TWRP. Now I have the full storage available. Man, there are so many little thing to keep track of.

Obviously, I haven't had the time yet to put the ROM through all its paces, but so far, I'm pretty impressed with it. I have not run into any game-breakers so far. You did a good job. (y)
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Communos:
The 8gb storage issue is peculiar, No one complained about any issue like this in the telegram group.

For the WeGo navigation app, can you please record logs while it starts and freezes? Would make it easier to briefly look over the issue.

I'll look over everything you reported, and try to fix them.

Logs would be highly appreciated.
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MyBrainIsAStrainer:
Looks like your reply overlapped with my edit. I think I fixed it by reinstalling ArrowOS. But this time, I used the "Format Data" option in TWRP's wipe menu beforehand. That gave me the full storage.

Attached is the 'adb logcat' output from changing the storage to the third restart attempt (this time, it didn't freeze but crashed). I hope it's what you wanted. I'm new at this. If you need something else, let me know.
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MyBrainIsAStrainer:
I just noticed that encrypting the phone does not work. If you select it, the device enters into a reboot loop (blank screen -> Redmi logo -> blank screen -> Redmi logo -> ...).

I don't think I can give you a log, because at that stage, adbd isn't running yet. If there's a way to get any helpful info on that, let me know.
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fbachofner:
On miatoll (Redmi Note 9 Pro, exactly) the mic does not turn on during phone calls.

Before clean-flashing this rom I installed the most recent firmware

( fw_joyeuse_miui_JOYEUSEEEAGlobal_V12.0.2.0.QJZEUXM_53af718a4c_10.0.zip )

Another ROM (Fluid 1.2) does not have the problem, nor the stock ROM, so I know the hardware is good . . .

Any advice would be appreciated!
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Communos:
This rom build is NOT for Miatoll, Redmi Note 9 with HelioG85 does not come under Miatoll category.

I tried the WeGo app on new build, seems like a source issue, I guess I can't fix it :(
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MyBrainIsAStrainer:
Great! I simply flashed it over the existing installation (no wiping) and then removed the Magisk GApps. It seems to work fine at first glance. Or have I shot myself in the foot without knowing it? The messages about play services crashing seems to have disappeared, which is nice.

Too bad. Well, it still is the most usable ROM for the Redmi 9 I have found thus far. And that includes the official MIUI. Sure, it's a bit more stable, but it's also really annoying. People had warned me about MIUI, and I thought: "C'mon, how bad can it be?" But it could. And it was.

I'll take having to put the WeGo maps into internal storage and (so far) being unable to encrypt my phone over having to deal with MIUI any day of the week. Please keep up the good work!

[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MyBrainIsAStrainer:
Ok, weird little issue because I cannot really reproduce it.

I was at a friend's house and wanted to connect to their wifi. But the phone always said that the connection could not be established (no reason given, who wants meaningful error messages anyway?). I tried both the QR code scan and manually copying&pasting the key. I tried deleting it and connecting again, I tried disabling the entire wifi and re-enabling it. Nothing seemed to work. I could not get into their wifi.

Back home I fiddled around with it, switching back and forth from my normal home wifi to my guest wifi, and it seems to work fine. Finally, I once - just once - managed to get the problem to occur (and I made a log of it, see attachment). But I fixed it by deleting and re-adding the wifi (which didn't work at my friend's house, even though they have the exact same router model I have). And now it works again. And reproducing the steps does not reproduce the problem.

Not sure what this is, but perhaps you can take a look.
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fbachofner:
Hi @Communos

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I glossed over the missing Pro in the description of the ROM.

You are correct of course, miatoll devices use Qualcomm SM7125 Snapdragon 720G

Ironically, other A11 ROMs (correctly selected for miatoll!) have the same problem with missing mic and/or ear speaker (depending on the ROM). I went through an exhaustive search and acidentally installed Arrow thinking it might help . . .
[Redmi Note 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fbachofner:
Hi @Communos

Wait a moment . . .

I did install a version of Arrow claiming to be for Miatoll!

I guess this was the only forum post wehre I found something related to Arrow for any Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 (version?) so I posted here . . .

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] urquiagal:
I'm wondering if there's any way for me to be able to determine whether a display problem is hardware or software. I have a gray shadow about one inch high across the bottom of my screen (see photos). I have a vague sense that it appeared after the December update, but I can't swear to that. It has been there for over a month.

Details and troubleshooting so far:

The shadow is visible to the eye, but does not show up in a screenshot (examples below)

It shows up in safe mode, and it stays in that spot even if the screen is rotated -- which makes me think hardware

But I did a factory reset, and after that the shadow went away for a couple of days -- does that mean software?

There is a flicker, and sometimes the shadow gets really dark. Could it be a system notification glitch or a malfunctioning ad?

I do use Surfshark VPN, but the shadow doesn't go away when I turn it off.

That's about the extent of my troubleshooting skills.

I did find an image from 2015 that looks similar in an OP forum but there is no indication the problem was solved.

I'm beyond the warranty period, so I'm hoping to be able to resolve this without sending it in to OnePlus and having to use an old phone for 2 weeks. The phone is a GM1900 and is not rooted.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Abdsha:

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] uicnren:
its not completely draining your battery. you use it quite a bit, and it uses an appropriate amount of battery from what I can see.

an app running for 16 hours is going to use quite a bit of battery, in your case 23%, doesnt seem excessive to me at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] denmastergaming:
Yeah the thing is I'm not listening to music out of those 16 hours. I expected it to automatically close background when music is not playing but it doesn't and it still runs in the background. Is there a way to have it automatically stop the app from running in the background because even if I go to recent apps and close the app it is still running in the background and for me to actually stop background usage is by going to apps and force stopping the app everytime it's not in usage.
