The problem with OTA is that it works automatically. When you download the rom by OTA it goes to recovery and installls there automatically with autorestart. You havent option to flash DFE after OTA rom and you lose everything.

Only option is to download rom manually and flash it with DFE in recovery (as has written by my previous writers).

Is it possible to repair problem with DFE?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hyp89:
Its not a problem of rom since twrp doesnt support android 12 encryption actually. If you want to stay encrypted you need to flash crdroid or pixel experience recovery and update with adb sideload

Rom works well, but it has crazy battery draining, any suggestion?

This rom is live again? Not just regular security patch?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Lil Geeky:
I believe the one on maintenance status is the Android 11 crDroid

I just installed the rom (coming from v7.x) and I followed the installation steps, but my GPS isn't working at all for some reason Maps and GPS test both don't pin a location. What could be the problem, should I do? FW flash or something else?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ydjager:
Thank you very much for the hard work!

Previous version did not work OK with face recognition.

And before I could report it here, you released the current version with the fix. You are the best!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sklaes:
I am using the pixel experience recovery without DFE or Magisk, but I was unable to flash any update neither via system updater nor using the recovery.

The recovery log showed an issue with the cache partition. As I didn't found a solution for that I skipped a few crDroid versions - I didn't wanted to perform a clean flash.

I finally fixed the issue by cleaning the cache partition. This sounds like the obvious solution, but the option to clean the cache is hidden under factory reset in PE recovery 😑
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
Hello.

I came from crDroid 7, a nice and beautiful ROM with a nasty bug that hung the phone randomly and jeopardized my alarms for work. I took the decision to recreate bank tokens and jumped to crDroid 8 with A12.

Nicer and more beautiful. Last night I used the phone, put it to charge, went to sleep and when I woke up it was completely stuck. I had to force reboot using the power button.

Oh no.

Well, I have no logs but I'll start recording to try to find the problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Tetractys:
Hi!

I have problems with wifi during the configuration.

I followed carefully the steps suggested in the main post.

Installed:

TWRP: twrp-3.4.0-10-cepheus-mauronofrio

FW: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_V12.5.6.0.RFACNXM_v12-11

OS: crDroidAndroid-12.0-20220306-cepheus-v8.2-hotfix

Gapps: NikGapps-stock-arm64-12-20220222-signed

DFE: DFE.zip (found on TG Mi9 group)

During the first config (i need to use google config since i use the google auto-backup but, even in CrDroid config, there is the same) NO WiFi is detected.

Repeated 3 times the installation starting from complete format extremely carefully but nothing.

Any Idea please?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
Did you install fw before installing crDroid? This ROM says it includes firmware, no need to flash before. I think you may try formatting everything and installing crDroid clean again, or go back to official MIUI and then start clean with crDroid.

GOTCHA

Phone screen froze again when charging and I was recording log. Same as crDroid 7: there's haptic response but screen won't turn on. Only solution is hard reboot using power button. Build 20220306.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
On the Telegram channel, when you ask for bugs fixed to the bot, there's one entry that says "gps problem". I couldn't go further, though.

This situation happened to me many times, unfortunately I havent any log. Phone freezes after night, and alarm dont work. power button responded, but screen was black - only hard reset helped.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] palibrzuch:
I have the same. Sometimes, when the phone goes to sleep, it only restarts and wakes it up stiffly
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ssergiio:
Hi!

First of all thanks for your hard work! My question is: as you seem to have the necessary knowledge, could you build OrangeFox with Mi9 device tree and kernel so we aren't forced to use DFE anymore and keep our devices crypted? Would be awesome

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bmmrq84:
Hello there. Many thanks to the OP for this rom build and keep our device going.

We've been experimenting with this rom and do not have the sleep problem reported before because we are having a wake lock situation as the device does not enter deep sleep and has a very evident battery drain.

And even after dirty flashing nikgapps core again (because play services seems the culprit) it stays with it. Any advice?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] reyder:
You don't need to use DFE. You can update the rom without losing encryption.

1. Flash PE recovery via fastboot: https://download.pixelexperience.or...ence_cepheus-12.0-20220123-1916-OFFICIAL.img/

2. Boot into recovery, enable adb, and flash new crdroid build via adb sideload

3. Boot to system

4. (Optional) Getting root after update is tricky. Open flashed crdroid rom end extract boot.img. Patch it with magisk app. flash new boot via fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ssergiio:
Really appreciated! Sideloading it right now, thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
I lost the alarms this morning because the phone was hung in that charging bug.

To the others that have same problem as me: which recovery software do you use?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ssergiio:
Did it and worked like a charm, I don't mind sideloading the updates. Thanks again!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
Are there kernels to try for this ROM? I see two on the main forums, one of them marked as not supported for PE-based ROMs and the other not active in a long time.

I believe the hang I'm experiencing with crDroid (and breaking this nice ROM for me) is kernel related.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] aoske:
some time after clean flash of the latest version, my phone suddenly disconnected from my bt headphones and it stopped responding to any buttons, screen is black, cant restart, after some time i pressed some buttons again and it restarted. today i have similar problem but i cant fix it. its not responding. few times when i was holding buttons i felt vibrations like during boot time or i saw logo for less then second then its still happening. i tried to connect charger...

i havent installed gapps, magisk, dfe. i have twrp. it was clean install.

how to fix it?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] B3!CrAZy:
I did completely clean flash.

1. Wipe cache, dalvik, data, system, vendor

2. Format data

3. Reboot recovery

4. Flash CrDroid

5. Format data

6. Reboot recovery

7. Flash DFE, Nikk, Wifi fix

8. Reboot in system

9. Install magisk app (latest)

10. Extracted boot.img from crdroid zip, patched in magisk app, flashed via fastboot

11. Reboot system

12. apply Zygisk

13. Install YASNAC where both results were "FAIL"

14. Install safetynet fix 2.2.1 in magisk app as a module

15. Reboot system

16. Run YASNAC and basic is pass but CTS is fail.

What to do now? :(
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Nicholas.CS:
After clean flashing the latest version, I couldn't find the option to disable the suggested app for the app drawer and home screen. Is any one facing the same issue? Is AnxCamera supported in this rom? I tried installing it but the camera isn't working.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarthFater:
Since the latest update, my phone freezes totally. I can't use my phone as an alarm, because it freezes in the middle of the night. What to do?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
Same happens to me and others.

I dropped a log to help developers but in Telegram group they say it's impossible for the ROM to hang that way. But something's going on, because I now sleep with an old analog clock to avoid oversleeping.

What TWRP version do you use?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
Did you install another launcher?

I use Gcam, ANX I think doesn't work on A12
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ssergiio:
Currently using NGcam without problems. Try using it and disabling the AOSP Camera and test if it freezes.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] febo17:
Hello, I have the same problem, I don't know how to solve it. I installed my rom with the latest version of TWRP as indicated in the clean method. The rom is very good except for that problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
Hmm... Did you use suggested TWRP (mauronofrio) or the latest from TWRP.me?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] okoliczny:
you need to disable voLTE in the network settings
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Nicholas.CS:
I prefer the stock crDroid launcher as I found it to be smoother. We are able to disable the apps suggestions in the last version, not sure why the option disappears after flashing the latest build.

I use GCAM too but it is bad when trying to take videos so I'm searching for alternative cameras. Strange, I saw some people are able to use ANX on A12 but not on my device.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Nicholas.CS:
I face the same problem as you even I clean flashed the rom. The battery drain is crazy even when it is idling. Have you managed to fix this problem?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lucamacc:
Same here. Tried to flash again cleaning almost everything, tried to change the nikgapps (i started with the omni one, now on basic version same) and i'm looking in the battery stats with BBS but deep sleep never occurs, cpu is always working. Unfortunately no solution found
[General Questions and Answers] Strike3k:
Hi guys, my situation is the following:

I took alot of portrait mode pictures on a Samsung Note 8 (it was called "Live Focus") and on a Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro and a Google Pixel 5.

Now I try to collect all my pictures in one place, but the problem is, that I have no tool to edit all sort of portrait pictures. For example if I find a picture that I like, but I want to adjust the portrait mode effect, I need to find the right phone and edit it on that phone. That's far from ideal.

Is there any way to edit the portrait mode effect "bookeh" of all these pictures in one single app? No matter if it is an Android/iOS/Windows app. Or is there a way to remove the bookeh on all pictures at once? That would also help, because there are apps that can generate the bookeh afterwards, if I want it.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
Does anyone know of a dedicated waterproof case for the Pixel 6? I have found a few for the Pro, but none for the plain version.

Before you tell me it's waterproof, I want the case for snorkeling in saltwater. That is not an environment I would want to expose my phone to.
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
You need a speciality case designed specifically for diving. Salt water will pretty much instantly destroy the phone if it gets inside... so there's that.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
It's for snorkeling, not diving, so there is no pressure requirement.
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
Doesn't matter as water is dense, 2.31 feet of head = 1 PSI, or 1 ATM = 33 feet of sea water or 14.7 psi

The case must be pressure resistant.

2 psi may not sound like much pressure be it is; the more area the harder it is to seal.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
Something like the LifeProof Frē is rated for "WATERPROOF FROM 2 METERS FOR 1 HOUR". Why should that be insufficient?

FRĒ for iPhone 13 Pro Max MagSafe case — action ready and magnetic | LifeProof - US

Meet the FRĒ for MagSafe phone case. It dives underwater to 2 meters for 1 hour, clicks into MagSafe accessories and is made with 50% recycled plastic.

www.lifeproof.com

Also, the phone itself is waterproof so if the case does leak, it can be rinsed off afterwards.

Finally, I am paying for Google's preferred care so the most I would be out would be $99. Diving cases are $300+.
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
If you value the phone keep it away from salt water. "Waterproof" phones rarely are. Any immersion in salt water can kill it. The port is unprotected.

All I expect is better dust sealing and maybe some water resistance from an ip68 rated phone.

That case you linked isn't going to cut it more than likely... sorry.

I ziplock bag might do ok with little air* in it... test it. A dive case is really what you need...

*having open space allows a place from water to go before contacting the camera. Maybe something like this:

Amazon.com
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
I have been in looking at the one you linked to. The exact same product shows up under several different brand names. There is also a newer version of it that uses Bluetooth (instead of a lever to the volume rocker) but it seems like the app is not in the Play store. (i.e.kinda sketchy because you need to install it directly from the company)
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
Try B&H Photo...
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
Nothing at B&H either. If I wanted to go all out, I'd get something like this https://www.amazon.com/Underwater-i...d=2491154011&sprefix=phone+dive,aps,77&sr=8-3

...but at that price, I'd just buy an underwater camera.
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
I keep the smartphone away from the sea, topside in a ziplock bag.

Maybe you should just enjoy the place. Shooting is work... see, it's already started.

Fuel for the fire...
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
Assuming I want to take the risk, I go back to my original question: does anyone know of a dedicated waterproof case for the P6 similar to the LifeProof Frē?
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
I will be able to borrow a dedicated underwater camera for the snorkeling, and ordered a Stash7 Waterpocket universal bag style case for the beach and topside.

Amazon.com

It just arrived today, but my initial impressions are that it's a quality product. Its a bit more rubbery than those cheapo PVC ones and it has a felted lining. My Pixel 6 with Spigen Rugged Armor case fits snuggly inside. The neck lanyard is kinda like a bungy cord, and seems like it may be a bit long, but I'll see how it plays out. I can always tie a know in it to shorten it.
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
Zip lock bags for top side. Remember to be ware of salt creep; keep it spotless.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
The Stash7 is a zip lock bag on steroids.

My Android device screen is blinking, 1 sec on, 1 sec off (completely black screen) and it continues to blink forever.

Even if I restart the phone by holding volume up/down it's still blinking in the recovery menus.

I have tried to clear cache.

Tried different screen brightness settings, disabled auto brightness.

My phone model is Ulefone Armor X7 PRO.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Maybe the Android kernel is crashing.

Factory reset. (if this works it was likely a 3rd party app, possibly a virus or rootkit that caused it). Be careful what you load.

Reflash rom if that fails.

If all that fails to work or if it reoccurs it may be a hardware failure.

Hi,

I know the omnia doesn't belong here, but I miss the fact that on HTC I could tap any icon on the topbar and it would just magnify the icons in a "balloon" and make them more precise to click.

Anyone has an idea on how to make a non HTC ppc do this without rom mods and installing the whole touch package?

Thanks,
