Hi @sourav24071999!

Could you plz share the TWRP link?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Kaivhale:
So I managed to install the ROM (first time ever flashing a custom ROM), and I want to thank the Devs behind the project for making this possible, it's a little dream come true. I'm on build 3.6 and everything works great except two things:

1– When I open notification bubbles, after two seconds of typing a message, what's in the background of the bubble starts to flicker (I've taken logcats of the issue, it's my first time so I hope I did it right)

2– I have the same echo issue as some other users. It happens both if I'm using the regular speaker and mic and also wired earphones. (I can take a logcat later)

Those are the major issues I've found. Apart from them, it's little things that don't really bother me: even if ram consumption on recent screen is disabled, there is still a "ghost" empty little bubble where it used to be. Auto brightness adjustment is too sensitive (changes every 3 seconds even if I don't move, and the adjustment is not smooth but jumpy).

Again, thanks you so much

What worked for me:

1. Unlocked bootloader

2. Flashed TWRP using fastboot - https://sourceforge.net/projects/joker-builds/files/TWRP/A13/recovery.img/download

3. Copied the ROM in pen drive and used OTG to connect to phone.

4. Booted into TWRP.

5. Wipe data, flash the ROM and restarted.

Thanks for this ROM. Looks refreshing. :)

Rom version: 3.4, loving this rom since... 3 months.

Issues/Bugs noticed:

1) Multiple Users has some Broken things:

There are some bugs while creating a new User, that dose not allow to go past User Setup screen. (I don't remember what was it exactly)

Not able to add Finger Print on New User.

After switching back from New User to Primary User, the Primary User's Fingerprint sensor stops working (in lock screen as well as in Apps asking for fingerprint permission). Need to shutdown and reboot to system again to get the fingerprint working every-time.

2) When I turn off the device using power button (Not Shutdown) while watching a video on YouTube, and then after sometime unlock the device usually using Fingerprint and try to interact with YouTube, the screen-touch is frozen and unresponsive. I need to again lock and unlock the device to get the touchscreen functioning again.

3) This bug happened to me just 1 time where I could not access Camera or tun on Flashlight (under flashlight it was saying that camera is being used, but that was not the case), also camera was not blocked. The camera app would just crash and also there was no indicator at top right that pops up while camera or mic is being used. Really weird behavior, reboot seemed to fix it and not happened since.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] sniper199999:
Recently thinking of moving from 3.4 to 3.6 for any big fixes/improvements. Can anyone enlighten me important changes in 3.6 that are worth to to move from 3.4 , because I have seem a handful of comments here were people have got bootloops/errors while dirty flashing the ROM from 3.4->3.6 so if it isnt really big, then i would be happy to stick with 3.4 for now.

Hi,

I just installed the latest ROM (3.13) together with Magisk 26.4 and DFEv4. Everything seemed to go smoothly - Chrome works, I can mess with the settings and install my own apks.

However, I cannot install any apps from the play store - it says "Free up space". Furthermore, I cannot open the "Storeage" entry under "Settings", it just crashes. The "Files" app does open, but only reports 2.9GB free from my freshly installed (and wiped) ROM.

What am I doing wrong? Did I miss a step or something?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Edit: Alright, I figured it out. Apparently I didn't format the data again after restoring the previous flash. :rolleyes:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jimlivingston:
As a member for some time, I have seen many people post looking for advice on which ROM might best suit their needs.

Typically the response is anything from a small flame to a raging inferno. The most common response from the learned people here is for the OP to "try them all."

Well, I am finally fed up with those lame and rude responses. You see, there is absolutely nothing wrong with soliciting advice from those who have tried things and ergo have more knowledge and experience. That is why "user reviews" are so important. Think about it, have you ever asked a salesman about a product or do you just try them all? Do you eat everything on a menu, or do you ask the waiter what's good... what would best meet your needs? If you are a normal person, you ask if you have questions!

Also, there is much made about creating different threads asking for the proper advice. Well, the very nature of the request requires a new thread. Each OP might have a different set of preferences that are unique. To use the waiter example: "I don't like salty and greasy foods. I do however like light foods. What would you recommend?" You see how asking for advice has a certain individual and unique set of components?

Some people have told the OP to search and read up on all the ROMs. Well, unless your Einstein or have made ROMS your passion, no sane human can even begin to digest all the information. Some ROMS have hundreds of pages in their thread. One ROM might be a novel to itself. Some people simply don't have 40 hours to read up. Worse yet, those who do have the time, won't have a clue as to which ones to invest it in. Seriously, there are a LOT of ROMs.... with new ones being released almost daily. Unless you live here, you cannot learn about them all.

I think a fair solution would be for the fine people here to focus a bit more on creating a sticky thread of User reviews. However, it has be quite organized and kept current. There is nothing worse than sifting through a couple dozen pages in one ROM thread just to find out the bugs never were addressed in that release, rather the author issued a new separate release.

In conclusion, I think that until ROMs have a better system for Peer Review, which can be easily understood by visitors, people should lay off those seeking advice. Actually, people should be more than willing to be of help and not be so quick to blow the OP off. As for the ROM reviews, I suggest a new sub-forum for just that. It would go a long way to servicing all parties; those who seek advice, those who don't want to see it in these sub-forums, and those who want to help by giving reviews.

Well that is that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Junner2003:
Nice words and I partly applaud, however, you also have to see the other side. Let me reply by copying a user complain and the mod's reply out of his guest comment:

As you see, it is not always easy to justify a thread, especially not if you're talking about a forum with the size of XDA Developers. If people think they want a review of the particular ROM, why not asking directly in the THREAD of that ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jimlivingston:
"If people think they want a review of the particular ROM, why not asking directly in the THREAD of that ROM"

That only works if you want a review from a SINGLE ROM.

If chefs have that fragile of an ego....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Junner2003:
As you now can see for yourself, this is where flaming begins - exactly the reason why threads like that are mostly not welcome! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] typo:
I definitely think there's room for a single, stickied "ROM discussion" thread. People always have opinions, and it'd give people a place to vent them. The reason there's so many clutter-y "WHAT ROM?!" threads is because there's nowhere to ask that question, and new users have no real reason to understand how repetitive that question IS because all the threads get closed and deleted.

Simply telling them "you can't ask that!" makes it awfully tricky for new users, since they often don't even know WHAT they're looking for. By keeping a "ROM discussion" thread around, they might be able to at least get an idea of what people like about different ROMs. Heck, even if the place turns in to a pit of snarky vipers, it'll at least serve as an example of why people don't like ROM comparison threads! :)

The problems with just directing people to the ROM threads are thus:

1. Most ROM threads consist largely of bug reports or feature requests from long outdated versions of the ROM, so the information isn't really relevant.

2. Some (not all!) chefs are better at creating their ROMs than they are at describing them -- making it awfully hard to get an idea of what the author was "going for."

3. This makes it even LESS likely that some of the small, less popular ROMs will get noticed because the most popular, most updated threads are the ones that get bumped onto the first few pages.

4. ROM threads generally do not (and should not) contain information comparing different ROMs. This is, however, useful information -- if there's two ROMs claiming to be the "fastest and lightest," for example, users should be able to make their observations about those claims.

There's ALWAYS going to be a chance of getting people's hackles up and of some folks getting defensive of upset. At the same time, there's MORE chance for some chefs to get appreciation for what they've done, there will be a better starting point for folks new to this whole ROM business, and I think there's even a chance that the ROMs themselves will be improved because chefs might be able to keep their eyes on the rest of the "scene" better.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] teemo:
My 5 cents as a veteran noob.

First of all: This site is free to use. Lets keep it that way, by accepting the rules.

I think we have to realize, that this is not a service organization. This site is created by developers for developers.

Yes, it would be nice, if we could get answers quickly, but that is not the purpose of this site. Help - About: XDA

If you want to make this site a better place, Go Here!

A review-thread might be a great idea, but nothing is keeping you from creating another site for this!

So, you want a brand new ROM doing this, and this and that!

Well, so did I. And by trying different ROMs, I now realize, there are no shortcuts.

No matter how cool a ROM looks, there is always one thing about it you don't like.

One example: The new Manilla 3D looks incredible cool. Even if it is slow, I might still be using it, if it wasn't for one little thing that I just can't live with; The 3D "People" tab is very cool, but it is a pain to scroll through one contact at a time. I find the 2D version so much better.

You just have to try for yourself, what works for you and what don't.

Bottom line: To get the ROM that makes you most happy, you've got to make flashing your phone a hobby.

Read the stickies. Start flashing. Stay cool.

Happy hunting :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
I know this thread is closed, But I wanted to add to the statement of mine that was quoted earlier in this thread.

If you are going to get an objective Comparison or "Reviewed ROMs Thread" That would mean the reviewer would need to be unbiased. In order to do so they would have to flash EVERY version of EVERY ROM that was released. A difficult proposition at best.

I, like most people, will try a few and then Stick with one I find I like. There might be a better one that I haven't tried yet. But that's the fun of this Forum.

There was at one point a ROM Reviews thread. That thread was never closed. As it gave unbiased comparisons between ROMs. Something Impossible to get from just creating a thread saying "What's the Best?" Well ultimatly, "BEST" depends on your tastes.

The ROM review thread gave The features and bugs of a ROM and gave you a pretty clear pictures of the difference between the ROMs, All with the same "spin" from the same guy. By having the same "spin" from the same guy, you can grasp better which ROM is right for you. The effect of Me telling you what I like best and Junner Telling you their favorite is it has different "spin." Also, I may not have tried the ROM Junner recommended.

In the END the ROM Reviews thread died, because it was alot of work. And I believe we have even more ROMs available now!

So you can see why Best of ROM threads serve no purpose then to take up space. With the vast size of XDA's membership, you're not going to get a lot of worth out of a few vocal Fans of a certain chef's offerings.

arabic is blocked by amazon from firmware, but you can partially enable arabic by 2 methods

1. Install WIN-X launcher from google play, in the corner there is a botton in menu you will find option "language" press it , you can enable the hidden languages like arabic and others.

2. Install the app called more locale by sideloading through Firetoolbox and not to forget to check oprion of granting all permissions, so you will not need adb commands to use it, you can install it from google play but you will need to use ADB commands to activate it.

I moved my phone from Verizon to T-Mobile this week. It wasn't a smooth process but everything seems ok now. I am having one problem.

T-Mobile has a product called Scam Shield that is supposed to block garbage calls and texts. I tried to find it and wasn't able to. I talked to one of their tech and they sent me a link. When I went to it in Play Store, I got the following message:

"This item isn't available on your carrier."

I don't know if Google Play still thinks I'm with Verizon or if it just doesn't recognize that my carrier is now T-Mobile but either way, I'm unable to get to it. The T-Mobile tech send me an APK for it and I was able to install it but that's not good enough because I won't be able to get updates for it. My wife's phone, on the same account and recently ported, is not having this issue. After spending over an hour on the phone with their tech support, I don't know what else to do.

Has anyone seen this and been able to fix it? T-Mobile is completely useless with these types of things, apparently.

Thanks

***Note: THIS IS NOT A ROOT GUIDE. For updating and root instructions, check out my guide here.***

From the Pixel Images page:

View attachment 5969893

This applies to ALL Pixel 6 devices, regardless of whether or not you're rooted!

This does NOT affect other Pixel generations

What this means:

Once Android 13 Stable boots after the FIRST update, it updates an anti-rollback counter in the device hardware to prevent rolling back the bootloader. This will prevent previous versions of the bootloader from starting.

Why this is a problem:

The OTA only updates one slot, then reboots into that slot. It does not update both slots at once. If there is a boot failure after updating to Android 13, the device may attempt to "recycle" back to the old slot. If this other slot has a previous version of the bootloader, the bootloader will not start, rendering the device a brick.

How do I make sure this doesn't happen to me?

If you updated via OTA, simply sideload the OTA again. Since you are currently on the Android 13 slot, this will overwrite your old Android 12 slot with the new bootloader.

If you have an unlocked bootloader and prefer to update using the factory image, you can flash the bootloader to both slots:

fastboot flash bootloader --slot=all <bootloader image> It's highly recommended you do this BEFORE updating, but if you didn't, do it as soon as possible.

I've updated several times since the August 2022 update, am I still at risk?

If you've updated via OTA at least once since you first updated to Android 13, you should be fine. Instructions to check bootloader versions are further down this post.

The initial Android 13 release bootloader version is slider-1.2-8739948. As long as your bootloader is equal to or higher than this, you should be fine.

What if I was on the Android 13 Beta?

Same as above - the beta did not incorporate the anti-rollback, and the beta bootloaders are still considered "old".

Will the new bootloader prevent me from flashing and running Android 12?

The short answer is YES. Android 12 will not run properly on the Android 13 bootloader. Contrary to what the warning above says, you CAN flash Android 12 on the Android 13 bootloader, and though it will boot, it will not run properly. See this post.

If you MUST use Android 12, you can use a Developer Support Image.

How do I check my current bootloader version?

I updated with OTA and later sideloaded the update, but my bootloader is unlocked. I'm screwed?
