Yeah the first one is probably app problem, what gcam exactly are you using? Here im using BSG with custom xml and working good.

The proximity too works here, but im not on the same build, download Device Info HW and test there , i will release one soon, maybe today or tomorrow which fixes gps and fixes some ram issues
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rokasjasonas:
com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng 7.6.008.327100377

And my proximity is probably broken. No worries.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Yes seems to be that gcam issue, if you want you can try this gcam, download any of those versions that are there : )

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rokasjasonas:
wow, your gcam version works way better. Thanks. Installing new version of OS, will write if something wrong. Thanks again for the ROM ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Erentsey:
Does the firmware support the F2fs file system?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Yes it should, but system will feel/perform slower the more time passes. Not recommended, but it's up to you : )
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Erentsey:
Why will it run slower?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Randal_G:
Hi! I've had problems with FP registration since february release. I did try:

changing fingers

then changing display setup (max brightness with disabled autobrightness, with and without dark screen mode, different color choices from natural to vibrant, etc.)

then flashing your kernel

then repeating point 2

then changed ROM to april release (dirty flash though)

then re-tried everything from point 1

I cannot seem to get past halfway the FP registration when a timeout pops up (and it takes much time to get each reading).

The only thing I'm left to do is to try clean-flashing april release (or go back to pre-february release when the FOD was green and worked flawlessly). Or I could try getting back to MIUI to try to re-calibrate the FOD and try again PixelOS (although nothing has changed from hardware point of view...).

Other than this "issue" (so far I've been getting along with face recognition to unlock, although I must say that filling everytime the password in the banking app is getting annoying) I'm very pleased with the overall behavior of the ROM.

The only other issue I found is that the double-tap to show notifications when screen is off does not work since february release, even if the setting is enabled (I did try to disable and re-enable it multiple time but nothing happens).

Thanks again for the good work!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] brunomanuelpt:
Good points @Randal_G I still didn't install the April update, but with the previous ones, I got exactly only two issues (FP and doube tap)...I was hoping that on this new release they would already fine! But I will try to install during the weekend...btw are you or anyone aware of work apps, if they are working on this new release?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Nuno Oliveira:
I must say i flashed this Rom yesterday, first time i'm on a AOSP, been on xiaomi.eu since i bought the phone, and can't find a single bug so far.

Keep up the awesome work!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
So with green it worked fine, okie I'll go back with green : )
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Felda123:
Thr rom works fine so far :) But the date in the title of the thread is wrong :D and did i spy OTA functionallity? :O
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TBGmrU:
Thanks!

But one problem, the keyboard still has a arrow pointing down.

Is there any way to fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Ah lol thanks, also yes OTA is added on april
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
I see, well that isn't possible without magisk
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kasmi93:
But i

But it was by default in previous ROM. Can you make it in next update?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ahmadraeesi:
Thanks this is the coolest rom for this device please add the stock camera to this rom
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TBGmrU:
Okay, thank you!

One question, wasn't this possible last update?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Some features were broken/removed/skipped due to QPR2 rebase, I'll talk with the team to see if it's possible to bring it back ^^
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Glad to hear that! About miui camera I still have to fix broken autobrightness :S you can still flash Leica+Miui Camera with magisk here, use Leica v4.0 for AOSP A13, but be aware that portrait mode crashes + autobrightness issue
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] blackout900:
When the AppMenu (swipe up) is open and you open the top bar menu , the Big Clock is sometimes visible, sometimes partially and sometimes it isn't at all
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TBGmrU:
Thank you so much!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pierpa_:
Hi guys I have a strange problem with the unlock with fingerprint.

When I turnon the screen I don't have the symbol with the finger , but a 🔒.

I need to put manually the pin code every time.

The strange thing is that I have all the security ok. Even GPay works.

Btw the fingerprint works in App (for instance PayPal logins)

Have you any idea how solve this?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pipes80:
when Linux stops supporting this 4.14 kernel, how will the kernel of our mi 9 be updated? Start end of life at January '24 https://kernel.org/category/releases.html
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] blackout900:
The Kernel will most probably be rebuilt on the 4.19.x kernel
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] joaoserra10:
Thank you for your amazing work 💪

Have a couple of questions:

1) It seems that the option to forward calls is gone (or I cannot simply find it). Is it planned to come back?

2) Same question as above, but now regarding the charging led notification. I would like to turn it off but cannot find the way.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pipes80:
so I understand that in this latest update the led light during charging cannot be disabled? it's quite annoying during the night.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] andremksr:
Great Rom....thanks

But where can I find "prevent accidental touch" setting...:rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Welcome ^^. If you're talking about the option that prevents touch on pocket/pocket mode, it isn't available since our proximity sensor breaks deep sleep
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
If anyone has faced issues with random reboots, or broken deep sleep flash the kernel given below. (Random reboots were due to OOM/out of memory)

Also, color inversion can be used again and screen won't turn black while enabling the setting.

Some of the kernel changes over latest official release are:

- Upstream to 4.14.314

- Remove timeout to wakelocks globally

- Fix f2fs null pointer panic

- Fuse backports

- Enable SLMK

- Disable Maximum Swappiness (200)

- kgsl and block changes

- Revert PCC to CSC

- Revert "Tweak cpuidle governor to enter deep C state faster"

Edit: no root needed, it's stable, and use adb sideload <kernelzipname> to flash it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] danitco:
In my case everything is ok, should I flash It to improve experience or battery comsumption? Is it recomendeda anyway? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] andremksr:
Hope there will be solution soon.... thanks(y)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] blackout900:
I also had no issues, and I flashed it.

Nothing got worse, so I think it is worth flashing it.

Now I have between 85-95% deep sleep
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AlexGomes89:
If anyone can clear up a doubt that I've already researched and somehow I didn't understand the purpose. What would be the difference between a Custom ROM Retrofit and one that isn't? I know it has to do with the dynamic partition, but in a way, in practice, what would be the advantage or disadvantage of using it? Is there a big impact on ROM functionality? For the Mi 9, which would be the best choice, since it is an old model and it seems that this question of whether or not it is Retrofit influences? Thanks in advance for clearing this doubt!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RabbitType99:
Are there plans to add Pixel Launcher back into the build when the bugs are resolved? (I could not find the thread for the Pixel Launcher magisk module mentioned in the change logs. Can someone provide a link?)

Will the "now playing" feature be added in future builds or should I use a third party solution?

Keep up your awesome work!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Hi, about the Pixel Launcher comeback, let's wait till the next announcement and see what they say, for now i will attach this pixel launcher magisk module

And about now playing, it's not possible, it needs Google Tensor to work, but yeah there are 3rd party solutions
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RabbitType99:
Thanks for the quick response. When I installed the module the phone got stuck on the starting phone screen after entering the pin. I have the newest version of PixelOS and the kernel update installed.

Is there an installation guide for the module? When I checked the default launcher it said no app and the pixel Launcher was not installed from the PlayStore and when trying to install it, it just gave an error with no further details
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Hmm that's strange, in my case I just flashed in magisk, rebooted and worked fine, and just in case, the pixel launcher from playstore don't work ;/
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zemapavara:
Hello I flashed rom all looks fine , but camera from pixel somtimes hangs, must close and open again, how I can ad MIUI Camera
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zemapavara:
browsed history, thanks for greit job for updating this phone great ROM. I have flashed Leica v4.0 for AOSP A13. I think will stay with pixel cammera.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
As well, you may be interested, I've compiled a kernel with KernelSU support, check here for REVUELTO-KSU zip to download. Kernel is the same, it's just that i renamed to "REVUELTO".

Steps to flash the kernel are the same, update from adb > adb sideload, or update from OTG (you can't flash kernel in OTA udpater, just in case).

* Note: KernelSU don't support all modules
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] blackout900:
Why not mentioning that we are back to Pixel Launcher?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
It is mentioned in source changelog 😅
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jaymcmelt:
Just updated via OTA. Working like a charm.

Is it necessary to install that other Kernel that you mentioned via abd?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] brunomanuelpt:
Thank you for the great news, and I'm going to try now via OTA :)! crazy excited to try it out ;)!

THANK YOU AGAINNN FOR ALL YOUR WORK GUYS <3
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] balgxmr:
Nice, welcome!

Not necessary unless you want to flash the version with kernelSU.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] brunomanuelpt:
Just a newbie question, sorry! I have pressed the download button, if have finished but then nothing happens. Should I need to restart manually :)?

Sorry it's the first time doing it via OTA on this custom :)!

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] blackout900:
Yeah just try to reboot your phone and if nothing hapened restart again
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] brunomanuelpt:
On the second time, I could see at the end the "Install button", gosh this OTA it works perfectly amazing :)!

Thank youuu, this is serious an amazing job!!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] blackout900:
@balgxmr could it be that display > display size and text is broken? I set the lowest settings and it is huge, size has only 4 steps?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Randal_G:
Quick feedback: update via OTA worked fine... Issues with FOD registration disappeared! I can finally use the fingerprint to unlock my phone... Aaaand double-tap to wake the screen now works! This is so great! Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] danitco:
Wow. Updating us always exciting. Ota perfect. Everything seems to work flawlessly. Thanks dev for the effort.

A tiny thing. Access to wallpaper from long press at homescreen does not work for me, saying app not installed. Working well accessing from settings. Is it only me?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] brunomanuelpt:
hum...wired I tried mine and it works perfectly!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] brunomanuelpt:
Thank you again for all your work :)! I just would like to share the only wild experience that I had with the amazing custom room so far...and it comes to the brightness of the screen. For a reason, when is really sunny environment the screen goes all black, it's really crazy. To the point that I couldn't unlock many times my phone because I couldn't see nothing on the screen. I have turn of the auto-brightness and it was the same. I tried everything, but on sunny days, the room has this behavior, and makes impossible to use it :(! what do you think that can help :)?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pipes80:
I will never get tired of thanking you for the excellent work done with this pixelOS ... two issues related to the latest update, the Google news widget with swiping right is gone and the led light during charging is not possible to disable it
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pssyz:
what does the "dtbo-cepheus-20230511.img" use for ? do i need to flash it with the newest recovery ?

Nice rom
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TBGmrU:
Hello @balgxmr!

After this update i cannot use the fingerprint sensor, when I setup the fingerprint I always get the same error at the same part.

i've updated via OTA

Also, but less urgent, the keyboard bar is still there, do I need to clean flash?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TBGmrU:
This is the keyboard I was talking about
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gustavo Pirolli:
Hello everyone.

I'm new in this area and have an Mi9 with Miui 12.5

I would like to try this custom rom to see if baterry works better.

There is some video showing how to install everything?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DanceDream:
Good rom! consider to support kernelsu?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mghahvechi:
I have this problem too
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Alelino1932:
Everything is working very well, I want to thank the developers for all this work, it's perfect, thank you very much.

Just a question, how can I configure the smartphone so that when it is calling it turns around and stays silent?

I can't find this function in the settings.

thank you very much
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Clavius01:
I'm getting random shutdowns today after yesterday's update... haven't experienced that before :/
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RavenAii:
The first time I flash PixelOS for Mi9 was version 20221116, it was a fine OS but with TONNES of bugs, like app freeze, battery draining, and random reboot. I only use my Mi9 as a third device so I don't really bothered by it, until I decided to check for a new update, the 20230511.

I did an entire clean flash, following the instruction step by step. I glad to say this new build update is amazing. No more app freeze (especially Youtube), decent battery life, and most importantly, no more random reboots!

I do appreciate the camera app that support all three camera hardware (not available on 20221116). I've been using this 20230511 for a day now with heavy use so far no problems or glitches happen. Might need to see for a long term though.

The only thing that is missing is the back tap function, where you tap the back of the phone and it activates a function. I use it quite a lot on 20221116 for my flashlight and in this 20230511 I can't seems to find the option for back tap in the settings.

It takes a lot to make a customOS for an old device, now my Mi9 sees the light of day. If this build is stable enough, I might use my Mi9 as a dashcam again. Thank you for your time and effort in making this.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] giuserpe:
Hi guys, I installed the update and all the folders in which I organized my apps in the home are gone ....

What's wrong?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] partial_engineer:
This new update is awesome. Last one I had was the November ROM. It drained the battery pretty fast. This one is mind blowing how good the battery performance is.

Good work! Keep it up. Awesome.

Have this phone since the beginning. Still rocks (:

Not a single issue or bug. The November ROM was also without any recognizable issue.

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Barrasman:
I had the same issue. Is there a way to save our home layout, so that we can restore it after something like this happens?

Other than this, the update is great, keep up the good work! Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] PoorMalone:
Great update, I clean flashed it this time, since I had to fix widevine certification anyway.

Although there's one single bug that bothers me since always actually. The brightness goes darker for no reason sometimes, even though I have it set to 100% and auto brightness is turned off.

I mentioned it before here, but apparently it's not connected to another profile, since I didn't create it this time. @balgxmr do you need some logs from me to fix this issue or do you know some simple solution I can use for now? Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sideris202:
the latest rom on the M9 eats up the battery very quickly (13.0-20230510-2239)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MrDoggy01:
I have some problems. Previously I used miuimix and make clear install of PixelOS and have some bugs, such as auto-rotation does not work, just nothing happens, auto-brightness also does not work, in any lighting conditions, and also cannot put a fingerprint, just on one moment, it's says time is up or something, can someone help me? I really liked the firmware, but these bugs...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] PoorMalone:
Apparently it's been fixed by Google https://9to5google.com/2023/05/15/pixel-battery-drain-google-app/
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] PoorMalone:
For 3 days now I try autobrightness and it's not great neither.

Apart from that, DND acts weird in this patch. I noticed it now shows all notifications and just stops playing all notification sounds and that's great idea, but it has some weird bugs like lagging audio when playing alarm sound (very dangerous...) or cutting off sound during regular phone call.

I really like the system and battery is great (apart from that little hiccup by Google), but this patch is a failure. I would love to help you test it, since I have 8 years experience in testing desktop apps, but I don't have spare Mi 9. All I could is provide logs, if you'd like.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pipes80:
The bluetooth connected to the ford sync has issues on whatsapp calls, when you end the call you have to end it on the phone as well because it acts like it disconnects the bluetooth. calls in whatsapp sometimes need to be repeated due to a malfunction of the speaker. the led light during charging would be nice to be able to turn it off.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] PoorMalone:
Guys on 11 May 2023 release - does Hey Google voice recognition work for you? :cry:

I have rooted phone with Universal SafetyNet Fix, but it didn't work without root neither.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] PoorMalone:
Why is it getting worse and worse? Now my phone slowed down so much that games started shuttering and when I get a call the whole UI lags and I can't anawer the call or sometimes I simply don't hear my caller. Last 2 updates were completely fine, what happened now?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] danitco:
Just to share my impressions regarding your comments:

Autorotation works well in my case. Autobrightness works a bit strange, that's true, specially in low light situations, but quite well in lightfull spaces. And fingerprint performs perfectly in my case, with 3 of them properly registered with no issues during the proces.

Autobrihghtness a little wierd in low light situations, me too. Notifications ok, no audio issues at all. Battery is great in the last update.

It's called Pixel OS...Consider trying another rom.

Working perfect in my case. Hey or Ok google detected with screen on and off with the already recorded voice model, some years not refreshing it. Without root in my case.

No freezing problems in my case. CoD Mobile as always, pretty well. No audio issues either.

Maybe a clean install could help. I had problems with pixel wallpapers from long press at homescreen, but working ok from settings, and only one also share it. I had no other issues, but solved with a clean install. And no bugs at all for now. And battery is enough, having a 70% battery health nowadays...Hope it helps some of you.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MrDoggy01:
Yeah, sometime games beginning to restart, like mobile legend, hate this
