Last time I've checked this one had the things you want but I don't know it's current situation. I'm also thinking about switching to it but unfortunately it doesn't have pixel things. I know that I can them if root the device but I don't root my devices anymore.

Rooting works but...
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] nightcrawler218:
10. Installing busybox after rooting with Magisk, breaks this ROM. Frequent BOOTLOOPS
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] nightcrawler218:
Thanks for sharing this. Couple of thing to know,

1. does this GSI require partitioning /formatting the A/B partitions?

2. Are there any necessary steps for reflashing any other custom rom after using the GSI in my device,?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] kaygusuz91:
All the information required for flashing it is in the thread but if you have issues you could always ask to me or the people on the thread.

To answer your other question, I came to this one from that one and didn't do anything special as far as I remember.

Only different thing that I can remember is for to flash that rom you have to use fastbood which is literally fastboot running in the userspace to be able access the super partition which by the way exists on every rom for this device as far as I know. Because if I remember correctly it's an Android version requirement.

Also if you share your experience with that ROM I would be very glad.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] nightcrawler218:
GSI are great as far as the design philosophy and modularity are concerned. Probably flash crDroid-A11 for the time being.

Also, I think a unified GSI installer would be a great tool to have for the users. I know its just another additional 2 , 3 steps for the GSI to install but as a user oneshot vanilla roms or gapps builds are great for a straightforward install experience. Couldn't find any gsi installer tools in the treble website. Are there any such tools available at all?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] kaygusuz91:
Excuse me but I don't have any idea what a unified GSI installer is. So, as far as I know there is no such tool. If you don't mind, could you explain it to me?

Also when i type yes to format data i get and error about encrypting stuff
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] kaygusuz91:
First connect your phone to your computer.In the OrangeFox options there should be an "adb sideload" option, when you open it it will give you two boxes, select both of them and slide it. Then on your computer use

adb sideload foobar.zip

. That should do it.

Bruh, you're literally installing a new OS. Of course a clean install is recommended.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] kaygusuz91:
Bro, what are you talking about? When you dirty flash version 1.2 of the same OS over the 1.1 you're not installing a new OS, you're just updating the current one. I have to remind you that all versions of this OS are Android 12.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] mfn003:
Yeah, and you're still overwriting ALL the files from the previous version. If it was simple as that, then why didn't yours boot?

Thank you for the great Rome.

Which version do you use?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] amfasis:
Love the ROM!!

I recently flashed the 2.0 version with the correct method (flash FW, wipe dalvik/cache, flash ROM) and got it much more stable :cool: was having trouble with my car bluetooth crashing the phone, sometimes even up to sort of bootlooping

I still have one issue and request for help: the sound in google maps and the clock app is intermittent, so for example maps says "after 500 meters, turn ..... ... street".

On the logcat it has this line every 5 seconds, not sure if related:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/vendor/bin/wifidisplayhalservice": library "libwfdaac_vendor.so" not found: needed by /vendor/lib/libwfdmmsrc_proprietary.so in namespace (default)

If more info is needed, I'm happy to help

I didn't have this issue on the previous version I was on v1.5 but I clean flashed and I don't have a copy of v1.5 anymore so I can't go back to it.

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] vampuwu:
I know D:

You can try installing an app by the name " OpenGL ES Extensions - The OpenGL/Vulkan Utility " from Google Play store to check which version of vulkan the rom uses. When I checked on my phone there was no vulkan installed. I would take a screenshot but I'm busy flashing other ROMs. Maybe the dev forgot to compile with vulkan support? (I don't know how this works)

With the 3.10 version I don't have NFC. Anyone has any solution for this?

logcat here

Also, minor, when the screen is off the fingerprint doesn't react to (valid) touches, I can only unlock it with fingerprint if the screen is on. This is minor, since your finger is already on the button, but invalidates my build-up habit. I already tried toggling the corresponding toggle in the settings, with reboots

Not specific to your problem, but I saw in their Telegram support group a lot of problems with 3.10 and most of the time answer was "3.10 is based on Android qpr3 and you have to wait for 3.11". not to mention Pixel Launcher is ruining Battery Life and they will revert back to Launcher3 for 3.11
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] amfasis:

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] amfasis:
To answer my own question about the fingerprint not working when the screen is off: it turns out there seem to be two settings for this, one in the menu for the type of screenlock you want and one in the menu where you add/rename/remove fingerprints. They _both_ have to be on to actually work.

(I am now on 3.11 and it still didn't work, so was suspicious, but stumbled upon the second one when adding more fingerprints)

Sorry for all the noise I've created. This experience does remind me that there are certain best practices recommended for a reason. In my case, it was a corrupt download and I should have validated the file checksums first. Sometimes being lazy has a price to pay.

Hello @LoneW01F

Impressions are a personal thing. I hope my view match to yours. That said, from my usage so far, I have been quite impressed with the ROM overall. It is fluid and checks on all the items on my list. Coming from MIUI, there are some things I miss, like Dual Apps and Call Recording. But these are MIUI specific features. Other than that, this is a perfect ROM.

Many thanks to the maintainer @lopster70 who's done an awesome job on it and the project Project Elixir in general.

I just hope that this ROM does not get discontinued by the project or the device maintainer. I have high hopes that that wouldn't happen given `miatoll` is a combined device tree comprising of multiple devices.

Whenever I try to enable Mobile Data, it doesn't do it. For enabling mobile data, I have to either

Change preferred network type (to 2g then back to 3g etc.)

Reboot the phone

After performing any of the above thing, it starts working. But again after some time has passed without the mobile data being used (after using WLAN), if I try to enable Mobile data, I have to perform any of the above step.

Any ideas how to solve it?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] kamikaze_in:
Its a glitch, try switching to airplane mode for 1 minute and then turn off airplane mode
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Cephalgy:
Thanks for the tip with the airplane mode. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. Maybe I only activated it too briefly and switched it back too quickly.

At the moment I am helping myself with a Tasker profile, which I run manually using a button if Tasker does not run it automatically.

Basically, I still hope to find the cause of this malfunction, since it should switch cleanly on its own and activate mobile data under 4G. Flight mode / switch between 3G + 4G / restart are all just workarounds.

IMHO it should be switched / activated cleanly by the system. So far it has worked with all other telephones as well. (Partly also Xiaomi Phones with MIUI)

My current system is MIUI 12.5.9. The error also occurred in the previous versions.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] as.hs:
I've been out of the rooting side of android for quite some time (last phone I rooted was the moto X4, if that gives you an idea). I recently got a p6p after being on Samsung since then and had a few questions about everything.

1) is SuperSU no longer a thing? I've only seen magisk root

2) I've noticed no custom roms, have none been made yet or is just harder to flash on the pixel? I remember the X4 having a a/b partition which bring me to my 3rd question if the pixel also has it?

Please excuse my noobish questions, it's just been awhile for me, thanks in advance, and happy holidays!
