do I need to flash miui latest firmware in PE recovery??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] tattare1987:
Is the rom pre rooted?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DenisCZ:
Almost every ROM is not pre rooted, so this one is probably not pre rooted.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Nope

Hi. have installed Pixel experience plus rom on my Redmi note 7 from the main website by following the instruction. Everything works great but suddenly it shut down than have to press the power button for a long time then it boot and works. Sometimes later again it happens. I have flash this rom twice thinking that may b first time flash wasn't clean or I missed something but still the same result. Can you please give me a suggestion?

Rom :

Version: 12 (Plus edition)

File name: PixelExperience_Plus_lavender-12.1-20220815-0339-OFFICIAL.zip

Why do exclamation signs appear on the signal bars when i turn off the mobile data?

How to remove them all the time?

This is stock android behavior. You cannot change it because it's totally normal.

I have the same problem. Will Android 13 rom fix this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Larusso1981:
Hi, Got two questions about Android 13 version.

1. Which version of GCam install for it to work (It crashes instantly). Got latest version

2. Can new build include call recoding in Google Dialer? I read that this option should be visible only on preinstalled dialer. We got one but without such option. Magisk has a mod that switches it back, but it involves rooting the device, which I do not want.

Hello! thanks for your contribution. In my case, any charger works at 1A (5w), I tried 3 and they all charge from 0% to 100% in 4 hours or so, do you know why?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] FaizuAld:
I have the same problem and it's not battery related because some times just UI restarts and when it's restarting, the UI keep glitching and don't detected my sim card, flash option can't be use because it's saying being used in camera, so i think maybe it's kernel problem or optimization.

You can try ADB sideload as well.

Hello, awesome ROM!!! The best for me. To go from Pixel Experience to Pixel Experience Plus I have to do something special or just install Zip with Orangefox. Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Just install with PixelExperience recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] davidony:
I already have Orange Fox installed, can I also have PixelExperience recovery at the same time? How would I start one or the other?

Thank you very much for the help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Gilang555:
Flash the pixel experience recovery with orangefox, it will be replaced.

Btw, we can't flash anything without laptop, can we?

With the PE recovery it will directed to ADB to flash rom or just to update recovery.

I don't have laptop or pc around. I just downloaded the latest rom n recovery, and i can't do anything 😢
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
Is there is a specific problem with OrangeFox Recovery? If so, then it would be helpful to be informed of it (with logs), else how would it be fixed?

hi, i have been using pixel exp since android 11 and had no problems with but i have just done a fresh install if android 13 and now every time i reboot my phone and now i get the android error " there is an internal problem with your device" pop up is there a way to get rid of it with rooting my phone.

Thank you very much

Dear Dev.

I am also getting same error everytime when reboot or turn on phone
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Herra Insinööri:
I flashed the rom using twrp recovery, but it didn't reboot to system then i realised that PE recovery is mandatory

Where can I find this PE recovery, can i flash it using twrp first then flash the rom? and how?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
PE recovery supports flashing via SD Card. You can

No there is not a specific problem particularly with OrangeFox recovery. OTA was not working on PixelExperience recovery and i made some commits on device tree to fix it which in turn broke OTA on OrangeFox this time. So in order to avoid problems relating to it, i asked users to use PE recovery only till the time i figure out the way so that it works simultaneously with both recoveries.

To avoid any conflicts i would like to state that; for the developers of OrangeFox recovery, this thing should not be a matter of concern as the problem doesn't lie from their side.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Please ignore that. It's already mentioned on the Changelog.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
Understood. I would still be interested to see how, with your fix, OTA gets broken on the OrangeFox side. Perhaps there is something I can do about it, which would work around the issue. We can discuss this via PM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Herra Insinööri:
can i flash the magisk 25.2 using the pe recovery?

will this be by using the sideload too?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] riajull:
Sorry,I don't look changelog carefully. Thanks

Just ignore it as it says in the changelog :D :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] blackList90:
Hi, I flashed the rom and I'm not finding any major bugs ... I installed with OrangeFox but I can't mount the Internal Storage which is always encrypted ... I also tried to flash the "dm_verify_forcedecrypt" but I went into bootloop and I had to reinstall ROM... maybe I have the wrong file?? 🤔🤔🤔
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Ignore that. It's mentioned on the Changelog.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
PixelExperience recovery is mandatory.

Already mentioned on the Changelog.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
Source thing. You have to request core team regarding that.

Telegram support group link : https://t.me/InfernoBuilds
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
We do not recommend the use of magisk. Do it on your own risk.

And yes you can use sideload to install it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 1DUNNO21:
I installed the rom using pe recovery, the rom works really great but I have a problem with bluetooth. Every now and then I get disconnected and I can hear such a beeping sound in my headphones. anyone know what could be the cause? on the previous rom this effect occurred maybe once in 3 months but on PE rom it disconnects me often
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
I'm using bluetooth headphones regularly and haven't faced any issues till yet.

I suggest you to check your headset which could be responsible for this problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 1DUNNO21:
headphones are fine, on other devices they work perfectly, except that I tried with other headphones and the same thing happens. strange that it started like this immediately after installing the rom :/ are you able to diagnose it if I send you some logs?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
I'm sure that the issue is not from my side as nobody except you reported a problem like that.

Still, you can send me the logs, I'll try to figure out why does it happen.

Thanks.

I have the Xiaomi EU MIUI v12 rom with Android 10 and the R11 version of Orange Fox. If I want to install PixelExperience ROM, do I have to update Orange Fox to the latest version first? In the build notes of the R11.1_3_A12 version, they notice the following comment:

- This is an Android 12 (and higher) release. Do NOT use with Android 11 or earlier.

So how do I flash the recovery update first and then install the Pixel Experience rom?

Thanks and sorry for the bad grammar because english is not my language
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] dahuangshushu:
really fast ROM，thanks for your work
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Sourav roms:
pls, help. My hotspot turns off automatically when I disconnect the USB cable...

What's going on?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] 1DUNNO21:
I sent the logs in pv
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
First

format

the data partition. Then you can flash the latest OrangeFox version (which actually is R11.1_4, just released a few minutes ago).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
There was an issue with decryption of PE-based ROMs on the earlier OrangeFox versions. The latest version (R11.1_4) has fixed that problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] blackList90:
Hi, I have used the last version of the OrangeFox to flash the ROM... but anytime I can't mount internal storage since it is decrypt even I put the correct pin 😅😅

I only noticed now that the latest version is out today 😅😅... so I'll try again... is it possible to flash the new version of OrangeFox directly from windows Cmd? Because from recovery it doesn't give me the possibility to install the zip
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
What does this mean? You should be able to flash the OrangeFox zip from recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] blackList90:
My mistake 😅😅... I was convinced to flash the zip file but in reality I had only left recovery.img on the sd card so it gave me an error when I tried to install it ... however I just installed the new version of OrangeFox and I no longer have any problems of decryption 😁😁... thanks for the help and answers😁😁

Thank for this ROM. I really like it.

But newbie here and I need some help, I am experiencing shut downs, especially when i start playing videos from youtube, facebook, etc... when the vid starts playing it shuts down. this is random.

I did a clean install coming from Havoc OS and using latest orangefox. Please let me know what could be causing this as I would prefer to stay using this ROM. I also tried to reinstall wiping system, dalvic, cache, vendor but not data. The OS will run OK for a while and then back to reboot issues.

I now have two new stable Android 13 plus edition file - PixelExperience_Plus_lavender-13.0-20230110-1528-OFFICIAL.img and PixelExperience_Plus_lavender-13.0-20230110-1528-OFFICIAL.zip. Pressing volume up and power on/off button I came into into orange fox recovery where I have access of these two files. What to select in Flash Image File and Install Zip.

How to use this two file to proceed to install Android 13 plus edition - step to step guide would be helpful.

thanking you guys in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] AaradhayVijay:
First select the .img file and flash it as recovery.

Then reboot to recovery, this time you will enter PixelExperience recovery. From here you have to SIDELOAD the .zip file using a PC.

Is there any documentation or suggested YouTube video on how to update to the new version without losing data?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] filuuu:
If you are using previous rom version. December/January. Just just OTA updater from system settings. It will not erase anything
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] jonnyd7:
Yeah I have the January release, thats good to know. I wasnt sure if I had to get some Magisk app and do some type of wizardry with that or not (saw a youtube video on it). I think the line "Make sure to install Pixelexperience recovery before you perform the OTA update" confused me. I did that when I originally installed the January version and wasn't sure if I had to do it again.

So when do I have to be concerned about data loss then, is that only when updating to a new release and not these incremental updates?

Sorry for the dumb questions in advanced as I am a newbie when it comes to custom ROMs
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] filuuu:
You need to have compatibile recovery installed. I would recommend Orange Fox.

This is the menu that does the updates before the system is loaded.
