I'm struggling with not working Google Pay.

And I know nothing about magisk - heard about it first time here.

Installed Magisk-v23.0.apk from github - but I don't have in that magisk app anything related to "modules", "hide" thingy, and etc.

What I'm doing wrong?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
Magisk is not installed on your phone, only magisk manager. If you're on a custom rom with an unlocked bootloader, youbcan install magisk directly from magisk manager by cliking install and rebooting. See screenshot (on yours you'll see it's not installed).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bekliev:
I'm on this thread's custom rom "[ROM][11][Alioth][Aliothin] Pixel Experience [OFFICIAL][AOSP]"

My phone is Xiaomi Poco F3.

I do remember I've unlocked the phone via Xiaomi's official Mi Unlock Tool and then install the PixelExperience build 11 (Plus Edition) dated 2021/08/23 (Initial build) by this instruction

Ok leave it that way (maybe)

So when I try to install magisk.apk with that Install button it fails (attached screenshot below)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
That's normal, you're trying to install the magisk manager (.apk) via magisk while what you want is to install magisk itself which is a zip. For that you need to get your boot.img and patch it.

This tutorial should help you.

OMG it's so complicated....

But I'm compelled to try and fix it on my own :cry:

@lucio28000 which ROM you use?

This one by @ZIDAN44 ? The PixelExperience?

I hope @ZIDAN44 will be able to make an update with fixed SafetyNet issue so it can pass - it's too hard
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
Yup, I'm on Pixel Experience Plus. Best ROM for Best Phone.

SafetyNet is not an issue in day to day operations. As long as your phone works as you want it to work, I would recommand waiting for a fix directly in the rom, lest you break/brick everything.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Superryco:
Yepp best recommended this way

Thanks got google pay working thanks to this post!

Fast charging isn't working, not a big deal, but wish it would come with the pixel gcam, fiddling with gcam apks is annoying, my photos still look blurry on the default apk on the poco f3 forums...

Great rom though, also google photos have unlimited backups which is great!!

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bekliev:
Fast charging works fine on my phone - strange, maybe it's your cable? It's have nothing to do with ROM or does it?

Modified Google Camera ports (Pixel Camera) by BSG, Arnova8G2, BigKaka, Shamim, and others. Download hub for GCam ports.

I personally use BSG + the Poco F3 config that is available to download here

Config Files for BSG 8.1

Stable settings for BSG 8.1 with xml config files support.

And afterwards, go to settings, modules, select one by one and change the number of "Frames HDR+ enhanced" to the desired number. (I personally use 48 frames because of details, however, it depends on your needs and preference.

Hey guys, I just figured out a way to fix most of the major bugs I had been facing mainly videos pausing repeatedly in Instagram or other apps, just set the gesture indicator to on so that the pill shows at the bottom of the screen
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Anmol Majithia:
I am facing a small problem. I have a Galaxy Watch connected to the device, when I get a call I usually get it on both mobile and watch and I can pick it up from any one of the two and talk from the device I picked up the call from. In this ROM however, when I get a call it does ring on both, but when I pick it up on my phone everything kind of lags/freezes for a couple of seconds and then it says it has picked up the call but my voice does not go through nor does the other persons voice comeback. For now I have switched off calling from watch in mobiles bluetooth settings and that seems to work but now I don't get notified for calls on my watch.

I hope this gets fixed in the next update. :)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] mlcattini:
Yeah man, not proficient with messing with the Kernel... maybe you should post how to do it for others maybe?

By the way how do I find out which firmware version is installed on this device? Can't find it on the settings.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] mlcattini:
Quick review for those wishing to get this rom installed.

Pros:

Very fast, no bloat;

Very stable, no resets so far;

Unlimited Google Photos backup;

Got gPay working thanks to this post.

Haven't had the video issues some users have been reporting.

Everything else works out of the box.

Cons:

Wifi signal is a little weaker;

LTE and other 4g bands are a bit weaker and I've been having issues with stability every now and then (not a deal breaker though) this is on Brazilian bands, my carrier is TIM Mobile;

No gCam out of the box;

On Deezer the volume drops for a second out of the blue, and at ramdom;

Battery drain is faster;

No fast charging.

Based on experience this will get ironed out over time, the people at PE are great developers and always aim for very similar experiences across the board, coming from the Poco f1 I could not wait for PE to become available. Please help the developers get some beers they are awesome!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Anmol Majithia:
This stopped working as soon as I rebooted the device, another work around that worked for me was opening up equalizer(i opened it through spotify settings) and switching it off, that stopped the pausing issue for now, will update if rebooting breaks it ✌🏻
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] shetty073:
I am also facing the same issue. Any app which plays videos (vanced, rime video, instagram, twitter) freezes for a few seconds before resuming again. This happens in a continuous cycle. Let me know once you have found a workaround.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Anmol Majithia:
I think I found a workaround, it is not permanent and resets on every boot but if on booting you face this issue, just open equalizer and turn it on and off again.

Also just curious but is this issue faced only by Mi 11x(The indian variant)? or poco f3 and redmi k40 are also facing this bug?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
It's pretty straightforward:

Go to this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-alioth-optimus-drunk-kernel-v11-15-08-09.4302055/

Download the kernel zip

Flash it either through Franco Kernel Manager (FKM, available on the olay store) or through TWRP

Reboot
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] shetty073:
To the people facing similar issue. Turning off 'Hey google' feature fixed this issue on my phone. Now video playback works as expected even after reboot. Will post back after 1 day use if its gone for the good.

Guys I'm on the latest poco ver 12.5.3 global

I just unlocked the bootloader but when I do fastboot boot twrp_3.5.2-alioth-nebrassy.img it says booting and then the phone screen stays off. Nothing works until I turn the phone on.I tried turning it on + up volume but still goes in the miui default recovery

Sending 'boot.img' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 3.002s]

Booting OKAY [ 0.277s]

Finished. Total time: 3.366s

Should I just do fastboot flash boot instead? Or maybe I need newest fastboot drivers? Need help asap thanks

I have got three really big issues with this Rom:

Battery is draining really, really, fast. No comparison to MIUI.

IR Blaster is not working at all for me.

Google pay is not working as promised.

Is this going to be fixed soon or do I have to switch back to MIUI?

Thanks guys, I know it's not a matter of course to provide such a ROM, but I would expect it to work if there are "no known issues" on the front page.

I had the same issue.

For some strange reason my phone was booting in wrong fastboot especially when I was rebooting in fastboot mode via adb command "adb reload fastbood".

Then I installed xiaomiTool v2 and rebooted via this app to fastbood mode and installed recovery through this app - and it installed correctly and I was be able to see custom recovery.

You should try it out.

Hello everyone. Justed flashed PE on my device but noticed that charging the device with a non Xiaomi cable and charging brick doesn't work at all... I haven't tried the official cable yet but I got a device without a cable and brick. Could you maybe fix that? I'm in the latest September build from yesterday
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
I don't have this issue on september's release. Have you tried with only one non-xiaomi power brick/cable or on several ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] churchner420:
Have only tried this one thing only. Was charging with this on OOS just fine earlier. I'll check if the same bug is there on LOS and if yes I'll reflash OOS on both slots with MIUI flash tool
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bekliev:
Battery is draining definitely faster...

But IMO it's because we lost Xiaomi's CPU performance tuning features.

So I assume CPU works most of the time at 100% capability w/o downgrading to save some battery.

I've attached my battery stats so you can compare.

Try apkmirror.com for manual download + installation.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
Check that magisk is hidden from all google apps (incl. Play store), check your modules (riu, LSPosed, props, etc.), reboot and see if it's still uncertified.

Update on my issue.

It's not just on video playback. There is micro-stuttering from all activities (audio playback, video playback, calls, gaming etc..)

Did a reflash but issue is still present.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
That's weird. Are you on stock kernel ? Do you have any magisk module enabled ? Did you reflash with a full wipe or simple reflash ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] sashimidesu:
Yup I'm on stock kernel (whichever is the default on the rom).

On the update to the September build, I have magisk modules enabled. I forgot about magisk at that time. My bad.

I also did a full wipe before reflasahing the latest build.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to nail the issue's origin: do you have the problem with the speakers and/or with headphones (wired and bluetooth) and/or while casting ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] sashimidesu:
It's alright mate. I'm also trying to find out what is causing the issue.

I'd say the micro-stuttering is present from any activities.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lucio28000:
If you have the courage/time, I'd suggest reverting to MIUI to check wether the issue persists or not. If it does, it could be hardware related.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] sashimidesu:
Yeah that's what I'm planning If I can't really sort this out. I flashed the August build and still checking if there are stuttering.

[General Questions and Answers] LR7875:
Yeah. @blackhawk even says put the data into two SSDs seperately and never plug them into a computer unless needed. (In another similar thread).

If you need consistent data storage, just use a consistent media, not a phone. It won't cost a fortune and the time needed to access the files is only slightly longer.
