Hello everyone, a question, what firmware do you recommend me to install? I was trying with the global one and I had battery problems, I don't know if the firmware has something to do with the battery management

At this point I don't remember what was the firmware that came from the factory with the phone, and I also bought it second hand What is the firmware you use the most? I'm going to try the Chinese one to see what happens
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] myheartaka:
Camara pixel only 12M why and only one Camara working
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] jonathan240196:
What ? my phone has encrypted itself after updating to this version, why? it is bricked and automatically reboots to recovery and no longer wants to boot into the system.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Imperator_Dei:
Flash DFE and you'll be good
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Mr.Brownstone97:
thank you very much for keep updating this phone :)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] jonathan240196:
How yeah !!! it works bro !!! Thanks !!!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] cris2d2:
I just flashed the AWESOME latest build but I have a weird issue and I don't know if it's a feature or a bug: double tap to wake seem to have effect on AOD even all the Wake settings are off (Tap to wake on doze is OFF, Tap to wake is OFF, Wake screen for notifications is OFF, Quick Tap to start actions are OFF) and even if Pocket Protection is ON. If AOD is off, screen doesn't wake when I double tap. So the bug occurs on AOD. I want to use AOD so please don't tell me to switch it off.

Any recommendations regarding this issue?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] muzeex:
Hello all,

Not sure this is a real issue but I noticed during my phone upgrade to the latest version of the ROM (10AUG22) that the security patch applied was July 22. I thought that this release included August 22 security patches so I checked the phone info and it indicates July 22, but the changelog shows August 22...

It is not impacting performance/usability at all, just curious...

Cheers
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
I already explained this. The complete patch hasn't been fully released by Google. The date has been spoofed to show August in about phone and while the patches are applied, the security level still says July within the system. This won't make any difference at all as the fingerprint in PixelProps is still set to Pixel 6 Pro's July fp and will pass safetynet without issues.

I suggest to just ignore small stuff like this to not waste time.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] muzeex:
Thanks a lot. I missed your previous explanation.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] postwarbreakout:
Can someone please provide the MIUI Core Mods 2.4D for ANXCam? The official download link doesn't work anymore and newer versions don't seem to be recognized when trying to flash the ANXCam zip itself.

On another note, what's everyone's preferred method to flash files with an encrypted storage? I had to a clean flash and decided so switch to encryption now, but I'm still trying to figure out how to flash things now the easiest way.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
I've decided to leave the telegram group and to only continue posting updates here alone. I'm tired of the constant whining about random apps crashing (without any proper logs), requests to switch back to Mi thermal or whatever non-sense whichever user may think is beneficial to the ROM. Everything beneficial is either already included or unavailable for a reason.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Albersky89:
Hello, I have installed this magnificent ROM and everything works very well, but I have a problem with 3 features that I don't know if it is a problem with the ROM, with my mobile or with the configuration.

1. Calls are heard at a very low volume...(and the volume is at maximum).

2. When I have my phone in my pocket, the phone unlocks and starts calling the emergency number, which option is below the unlock pattern.

3. If I have multiple apps open, when I try to open a new app, it doesn't open. To open apps again, I have to delete all active recent apps.

Some help?

Thank you very much.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] xmsxms:
Anyone else still using you tube vanced and getting this error when run as an embedded player? https://paste.evolution-x.org/3K1lYW

I realise vanced isn't supported and may not necessarily be caused by the rom - but just trying to see if it is working under this rom for others and whether it's worth trying to address it.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] michalrobeck:
Using Vanced with root and working just fine although not sure if I've tried with embedded player. You have a use case I could try?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] xmsxms:
Yeah sure, trying to open videos from something like Sync for Reddit. It works if I long press and select "open in browser".

I had performed a clean flash and didn't sync device settings, so I believe it's as pristine as it can get.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] michalrobeck:
I use Relay for Reddit but if I have "Open YouTube links in internal viewer" checked I get the same crash.

2nd time it'll just load indefinitely unless I force stop both apps.

Unfortunately it's probably just something to do with Vanced ☹️
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
That's definitely a vanced issue. Try reVanced or Vanced Extended mod. I have no issues using those.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] eLMARIBAN:
First of all, thank you so much for this amazing rom - Hope @joeyhuab keeps evolving for a long long time 😁... You saved my aging S9, no longer supported by 👿Samsung... Better, Faster, Stronger: keep going!

This ain't fake gratitude, and sorry if you mentionned it earlier in the thread, but how can I fix the lacking dual audio, native on the S9 and missing in the Pixel rom? Or any app that can get around it... 🙏
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] JackHowgate:
I have just realised that I have lost my L1 widevine certification

I am unsure as to what point it was lost, but I upgraded from 12.0 a few weeks ago and then to the latest image just now.

Did I miss something about it getting broken by a recent change/known problem or is this a bug with the latest build? Has anyone else seen this after a recent upgrade?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] TETRODOTOXiN99:
3.yes there is a ram management issue with this latest build and the one before it...there is a couple seconds freeze when you switch between opened apps and you have to clear all before you can use it again...wait for the maintainer to fix it if he ever wants too

As for 1. And 2. thats only you i suggest you clean flash to troubleshoot
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] michalrobeck:
I haven't had any issues with ram management. Apps don't stay in ram very long but they will just reload. No freezes
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] TETRODOTOXiN99:
ram management issue = apps dont stay too long....Thats what i said bruh some reload some freeze then reload it depends on the app 😐
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] michalrobeck:
You said there were couple second freezes between app switching and you have to clear them all to use them again.

That's not my experience.

Sure they will reload, especially if you have loads of apps but that's how ram works. Apart from that it's completely fine
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] michalrobeck:
This is a interesting bug. After it happens need to restart otherwise it stays like this. How could I get logs to post?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] arandomusernameappeared:
Has anyone experienced bad quality pictures made by the front facing camera on certain apps?

My banking app requires front facing camera access to verify identity. The preview looks alright, but when the photo is taken it look like a photo made from a cellphone camera manufactured in the 2000s.

I don't know what is the root cause, but I think it has more to do with the app itself than the ROM. I just know that it worked before I updated both the app and the ROM.

Almost forgot to say that I use ANXCamera. When I take photos through it it looks alright.

I tried disabling it or the default camera, but saw no improvements to the quality of the photo.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] zinko_pt:
Try to set the refresh rate to the standard 60Hz.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] zinko_pt:
No app issues from my side, running in background, recent apps... nothing. Smooth as butter. It should be your phone+apps+settings combo.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] silpy:
Hey guys, this is me writing about this the second time but I'm really missing the Live Caption feature for Japanese as I'm trying to learn the darn language. It used to work with this rom but after a fairly recent update, it only captions English. Google says:

"

Live Caption works:

On Pixel 2 and later phones in English

On Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro phones in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, & Spanish

"

So could it be a spoofing issue? Can anyone confirm if it works for you or if there's an app cache somewhere i should be clearing or a toggle somewhere. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
We can't spoof the Google Apps to Pixel 6 anymore as they require Google Tensor Chip for that! All Google apps are spoofed to Pixel 5 with the few exceptions such as Play services to pass safetynet.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Temaki:
Whenever I update to a new ROM, I download it to a USB stick and install it via TWRP. This also worked with the first update August 10, but not with the second one. I get an error message 1.

I tried to go back to the July update and tried the newest one again, but always get the same error message. Did I miss something?

Edit: tried it again last night and it worked. No idea why. 😁😁😁
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Mello_zd:
Hi everyone, I've got a strange issue since the second to last update.

The ROM is great and I have no issues (I've been using it since the beginning) but since the first August update (usual dirty flash using an USB dongle) my USB port is "charging only" without any data capabilities. I've already tried several cables wihout luck.

When is plugged into pc it doesn't even show the charging animation but it's indeed charging (the percentage goes up). The charging animation is on only when is fast charging.

I think my usb port is kinda dead..any ideas?

thank you guys
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] swapyworld:
Guys, can new EvoX rom dirty flashed over existing EvoX rom with encrypted storage or storage has to be decrypted (format data) even for dirty flash or OTA?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] michalrobeck:
You can dirty flash over existing install. I assume you're only a few updates behind.

You'll have to use USB OTG or OTA update
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] swapyworld:
I am still on Miui 12.5 😅 My Mido is on A11 carbon rom but previously all roms used to keep internal storage decrypted, however i found EvoX is encrypting. Is there any specific reason? I guess TWRP can't access encrypted storage, so dirty flash from encrypted storage isn't possible!!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] michalrobeck:
It is possible, you just have to use a USB stick while in TWRP or use OTA.

Android 12 encrypts by default as far as I know. So have to flash DFE if you don't want it
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] ZuruhMX:
is there a way to disable higher FPS on re-install?. i have clean flashed the rom and now its in 75Hz from stock... since i changed the screen its now artifacting, preventing me to set up the phone. a prompt reply is greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Peter the Great:
I don't think there's a way currently. I recommend Joey to make a singular update which switches the refresh rate to 60 Hz, that way anyone who's stuck in this "limbo" can escape. I remember when I updated to a newer version, it changed my refresh rate to 72 Hz without me consenting, so he's done it in the past meaning it's possible.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] edddie23:
Can anyone confirm that we have libnfc-nci.conf file in our ROM? And does it have line

LEGACY_MIFARE_READER=1

I have read somewhere than this solves NFC transport card issue on other Android 12 ports for Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro.

And can I add this line myself without root?

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] xdadevboss:
Joey. I hope this doesn't come off too mushy.

I remember clicking over to XDA to check for updates (i always do it manually) and saw some controversy on here. I read through a little bit of it and it looked quite hopeless (for us) and absolutely justified (for you).

All I'll say is- you don't owe us anything. I know this doesn't resonate with a lot of people who've just come here after reading a quick "How to" and are modding for the first time, but to us regulars who have been here a while, we really do understand.

My genuine piece of advice to you- filter and tune out the noise. You're experienced enough to take one glance at something and know whether it's a worthwhile critique or just an entitled breakdown.

I'm looking at gainful employment this coming month. I'll show my appreciation to you with more than words as soon as I'm able!

Thank you for keeping my (our?) device now in its fourth year, feeling fresh. Original battery, SOT ~7+ hours still.

Excited for 13! Cheers!

Hi all. Should I install the new version on Android 13? It is clear that she is only a couple of hours old, but maybe someone has already managed to use it.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
Hello @joeyhuab, I am experiencing app freezes/crashes as others as well (I believe). After one app crashes, several (but not all) apps won't start properly, most of the time a reboot is the only/best solution. It also depends on uptime I presume, the longer the phone is running the more likely it is that something crashes.

I'm on the latest build (flashed yesterday), on latest EEA Firmware I could find. I also followed all instructions for a clean flash (including formatting data). Furthermore I installed Magisk 25.2 stable

Luckily, I managed to get a logdump via "logcat" a couple of minutes before an app crashed, which was somewhat precise at 09:29:25

After some half a minute, my phone/apps were back to normal. I was presented that an app isn't responding 2 times in total

Holpe you can help, as I'd like to use this awesome ROM as daily driver.

Many thanks!

Edit: Logdump won't upload, working on it

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
Pastebin won't work either, hope you are okay with that 😅
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] habeck.colibretto:
I have the same exact problem. Magisk 25.2 (Zygisk) installed with Bootloop protector, Universal SafetyNet Fix i LSPosed. Without modules I experienced the same problem.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
I'm guessing you're both on EXT4? I think I know why half the community encounters this while the other doesn't. It's related to non-F2FS users.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
Yes, certainly I am! Will format to F2FS and reinstall now. Maybe it works, many thanks!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mark.dx:
Personally I would wait for several month before jumping to A13, I don't want to have headache and experiencing weird issues.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
I haven't experienced any freezes as of now (although I'm currently also setting up and changing many things/rebooting). However I think it's gone, as normally I should have at minimum encountered force closes of some apps (e.g. Firefox) by now.

A thousand thanks @joeyhuab
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
Welp, cheered too early, sadly.

What's different imho is the (new?, compared to the logdump from before) DiskReadViolation

https://transfer.sh/cKQlpo/220819-1436.log

I am also surprised by the amount of warnings/errors in regard to the gms / messaging.app services, maybe a correlation?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
Look, I appreciate all the efforts you're doing for the logs. Really. But as I've said in the final update post, I'm solely focusing on Android 13 already. I'm not gonna waste any more time to fix issues on A12.1.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
I understand. Many thanks nevertheless, the system is actually more stable now anyways, so I'll keep it until A13 is nearly as customizable as A12.1

Thanks for your time!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Peter the Great:
The workaround is to simply open apps that are open in the background. Basically, open your Recents, then one-by-one open each app. That's it, new apps should be able to open again. A quicker way is to just clear your Recents, but that won't work if you want to keep those background apps saved.

I understand you already clean-flashed and switched your partition format so idk if this applies to you anymore.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] habeck.colibretto:
Let us know after a longerbtime if you still have these problems. Right now I'm unable to format to f2fs. Maybe next week.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
Well, for me this doesn't work that way... For instance Google Maps always freezes as well after entering exactly 1 letter into the search bar, when I open it after coming from dying app so to say... Also, clearing the recents doesn't fix it either.... Waiting it out (a minute or so) or rebooting are the only options I found that resolve the issue, the former one works 80% of the time tho.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Raphael S:
I still encounter it, but far less than what I've seen on ext4 imo
