[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Does anyone have download problem on last release ?

Download not starting on souceforge (any mirror)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Perhaps SF is undergoing maintenance. No downloads of any files from all projects are working. Wait patiently for functionality to be restored.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Downloaded and installed today(dirty flash over 13.2).

Excellent work in this release,no more freezes and some good changes 👍
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mchasard:
Please banking apps are working fine about security under this ROM ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Yes mine is working well (France) even rooted (Magisk), only securities issues (had to register the phone again) when changing rom, but staying with the same one no problem when updating.

Tried with a banking app from another country, root detected but bypassed this security check by hidding root to this app (settings in Magisk) .
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mchasard:
Thanks for your answer... For me the digital key with BNP can't activated with lineage os... So may be I could try this spark ROM...is it for daily driver?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
Good update 👍

But I can't find the option for lockscreen styles (not font style). And also the dynamic battery icon color.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LeamNacaria:
I really like this rom so far, but how can I fix this thing? It only appears when I pull down my status bar once.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
This is the effect of a dirty update. Try in TWRP to wipe Dalvik / ART Cache.

If that doesn't help, update Stark again, with the same ROM.zip.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LeamNacaria:
I've already clean flashed it beforehand, don't know what caused the problem though. But thanks! I clean flashed it once again and it seems to have got rid the problem.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Etrusco54:
Beautiful ROM, thanks to the developer for allowing to revive a device that otherwise would have died.

I have a small problem, I can't create a screen to the left of the Home; I would like to have three screens of which the one in the center is the home but I can't. Suggestions?

Thank you

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Install another launcher.

The Spark launcher is simple and lightweight, and it's meant to be.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Etrusco54:
Hi, I've been using this ROM for a few days, it's stable and really good without system crashes... I just can't do a local backup, it seems you can only do it on Google; Is it my mistake or is it just like that?

Thank you and enjoy the weekend

ferruccio
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Spark has no option other than backup to google cloud. If you care about full backup, then do it in TWRP. The data partition keeps everything you need.

You can also do a backup with MyPhoneExplorer.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Etrusco54:
Oh OK thanks!

I have a curiosity: I made a backup with OrangeFox on my phone before installing Spark but the previous Android version was number 10.

I guess it is not possible to restore backup to Spark with A13, is it?

Thank you

ferruccio
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
I am afraid that there may be problems with use. However, it wouldn't hurt to check. Since the official TWRP 3.5.2 is recommended, then go back to your Spark 10, flash TWRP and TWRP Installer, check that everything works in ROM, go back to TWRP, backup your data, install Spark 13 and flash TWRP and TWRP Installer again (without restarting ROM) and restore your data. Only now boot Spark 13.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Hi,

I'm using Swift Backup, scheduled backup on SDCard every night while charging.

Working well.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
Does anyone have night light working on this rom?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Hi

@MetolsTaken

Is this rom discontinued ?

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
If you do not like Bedtime mode, then you can install a separate application e.g. MacroDroid and create a macro.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
Okay. Thanks 👍

I thought I broke something on my side. I'll try the macrodroid.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
Considering that we've been getting updates monthly, I don't think it's discontinued... Hopefully, the next update will drop before the end of the month.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] amyren:
Already having latest EvolutionX on the phone, meaning I already have done all the clean install steps earlier.

Will trying to dirty flash with this rom certainly cause a bootloop, or have someone tried this already?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Akeellis:
I dirty flashed this rom on an earlier version of evolution x rom and it worked without problem.

However, I have not tried it with the latest version.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] amyren:
Just tried a dirty flash with SparkOS 13.5 over EvolutionX. It booted up ok but it keep complaining about Google services not installed, and a few other things not working as it should.

For now It just dirtyflashed EvolutionX again to get it working. I guess I need to format the data partition and start from scratch to try this rom. Maybe I try that later.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Hi,

Did someone tried to flash vendor.zip then dirty flash over Spark OS 13.4 ?

Is it mandatory to clean flash even on 13.4 release ?

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
I tried without formatting the data partition, but Spark does not start. I used the version with gapps.

So I recommend to backup in TWRP the data partition to SD memory, as a proven way to preserve your own settings.

After formatting the data partition, boot the system and finish the basic configuration. Unfortunately, TWRP flashing after installing Spark 13.5 was unsuccessful, so reverting to TWRP requires flashing again.

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot .\bootable_twrp-3.5.2_with_tissot_manager.img

TWRP will boot automatically, so you can restore the saved data partition right away. After the reboot, enjoy the restored settings.

Hopefully someone can confirm that you don't lose your own StarkOS settings this way.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Strange behavior for me, i followed the updated instructions in first post and before doing anything backup data to external SD Card.

Using bootable_twrp-3.5.2_with_tissot_manager.img as suggested.

Flash TWRP with treble support : Ok​

Install vendor--adder.zip : Ok​

Flash ROM zip : Ok​

Flash TWRP : Ok​

Format data : Ok​

Warning before reboot : no system installed​

When i tried to reboot no system in slot A or B

Repeated twice the instructions same result, had to sideload Rom.zip in step 3 to see the light.

After restoring datas a suggested by ze7zez my settings was restored, just had to clear cache of some apps and system apps.

It's ok now
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
In my opinion, in stage 4 you should do the same as in stage 1.

It seems that the previously used TWRP does not see the partition correctly after flashing vendor--adder.zip so you must henceforth use installer_twrp-3.5.2_with_tissot_manager.zip.

The optional flashing of TWRP is for someone who does not like the stock recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Unfortunately I had to go back to the 13.4 version, for a daily use I have too many bugs.

Even after a clean installation (wipe data,dalvik,cache), at the first startup without restoring my settings or anything else, I lose my mobile and phone connections regularly, the icons disappear (double simcard).

A window "com.android.phone stops" as well as "com.phone.settings stops" appears constantly and after a while the phone reboots by itself.

Even after deleting data and caches the bugs reappear.

After restoring datas, I can't unlock the phone, the code is not accepted anymore, I had to delete the locksettings.db file through TWRP.

Perhaps i'm not following well instructions and i'll retry later, don't know why it doesn't work for me as i'm happy with previous releases.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hgarca089:
Hi

Thanks for a very good and stable rom!!! I am using 13.5.

I have 2 questions:

1. I don't see the OTA option anywhere in the settings.

2. I am using an ultra mobile sim card (T-mobile), the phone is on airplane mode with wi-fi on and wifi calling on. I receive calls and sms without any issues but the wifi calling icon is not showing in the notification/status area. The only way to check if wifi calling is working is swiping down to expand notification as per the second picture.

any advice?

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Hi,

Can anyone using 2 sim cards simultaneously confirm the correct operation with the last 2 roms (13.5 & 13.5.5) ,13.4 version works perfectly.

On a clean installation without any application installation or TWRP flash at the first startup, before finishing first configuration, the mobiles signals disappear and reappear constantly causing a crash of the "com.android.phone" application and a reboot of the phone without any interaction.

Had to revert to 13.4.

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Normally I use 1 SIM + SD Card. Now I put 2 sim in place of SD Cart and confirm: crash of the application and after a while reset of the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oxejatte:
Thank you very much ze7zez for confirming this issue, this bug was driving me crazy.

2 simcards are mandatory for me (work,home)

As i would like to stay using Spark OS i hope developper will fix this on next release., no rush as i'm on 13.4 now and it's ok.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Evolution X does not have this bug.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] barnesc64:
Noob here!

I have a working ROM 13.5.5 installed. On boot I get notification about unlocked bootloader.

So I try locking "fastboot oem lock".

After locking the Bootloader, phone fails and says "System Not Found"

I have to re-enter fastboot mode via a key combination, oem unlock, and flash ROM again.

I suppose you can never lock oem?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ze7zez:
Probably MIUI stock ROM can be blocked, but you are, after all, using custom ROM, so the message will remain.

The message does not disturb anything

Can I flash Lokum Kernel OC after flashing this rom? I love that kernel
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DTFuser:
I was not able to find a way how to switch the first day of the week. Many years ago I remember I had the same problem and somehow I solved it globally, i.e. with one option I change it for OS and all app but I forgot how i did it?

Does anybody know how to set first day of the week in 13.5.5. version of this ROM?

Have you tried changing your default language? "The United States, Canada, most of South America, China, Japan and the Philippines officially consider Sunday to start the week ahead."

"Monday is the official international standard,"

"Countries that follow the IOS include Europe, UK, the Middle East, Russia and New Zealand." "Australia officially follows the IOS.

I just want to check if somebody else also noticed a bug regarding a wrong time display. I noticed it in two different occasions.

Sometimes when I unlock a phone it displays the wrong time, and after a couple of seconds it displays the correct time.

Another occasion when I notice it is in the alarm. Occasionally alarm went off couple of minutes after passing the desired time.

Did anybody noticed this bug?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AnthonyJRP:
Hello, I have a problem updating to the latest version. I reboot with the recovery included in the rom. I have the file stored in the internal memory, but when updating it gives me the following error:

Error exit from the fuse process 1.

And not updating. Any Solución???? Thanks.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Mister_Diamond:
Hi, I'd like to encrypt the SD card, but (as shown in the following screenshot) the only option available is for encrypt the internal memory only.

In facts, if I unplug the SD card and I attach it to computer, I can access/see all the files.

On my Sony Xperia instead, I have the option for encrypt also the SD card (see the second screenshot), and in facts, If i insert the SD card to computer, all the files on such SD card are unaccessible ( I mean that I cannot see images and read text) . Am I miss something?

Encrypt option on Redmi Note 10 Pro:

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BigChungus321:
Afaik you can't encrypt SD Card on Xiaomi devices. In fact, this is the first time I encountered this option to encrypt SD Cards. You can, however, format your SD Card to be a part of your main storage (Option is called Format as Internal) which does what it says. And if you remove the SD card and plugged it in to other devices, they can't access the data, only the phone you used that "Format as Internal" can read it. I don't recommend it though as SD Cards have slower read/write and it can't keep up, like apps will load slower.
[Touch Pro CDMA] thx1200:
Hello everybody! My Sprint Touch Pro's stylus sensor broke and I'm going to be getting a replacement unit. I don't want to spend countless hours setting a new phone up to get it like the one I have now, so I'm exploring backup software.

I was wondering if anybody out there in CDMA-land has had any experience with backup software on a CDMA Touch Pro, specifically. (Please don't post about experiences with non-Touch Pro or non-Diamond devices -- there are plenty of those on XDA already.)

Right now, I've narrowed the playing field to two choices: SPB Backup and Sprite Backup. They both perform many advanced features, including what it is basically that I want to do (phone to phone duping) and "ROM Upgrade" (when Sprint releases a new ROM).

I was hoping somebody could tell me "hey this one works great for TP" or "hey this one crashed my TP" so I know how to invest my hard-earned $40.

I'm open to other backup software as well. My primary goal is a phone to phone "dupe" so I have to do very little setup after the restore process on the new phone.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro CDMA] Keystone:
The software is for the same platform -- WM -- so there should be no problem. I know of no device specific issues with either SPB or Sprite so what you are asking in the OP is a non-issue.

***** Just ensure that you restore your backup image to the same device model AND same OS ROM version. Regardless of 'safe-restore' claims, mixing backups with different ROMs is only an invitation for problems... Possbily different registry settings, DLLs, etc...
[Touch Pro CDMA] craigwillie:
i recomend sprite. i have used it with all my wm devices and it works great. i agree with previous poster about moving between roms etc.. hit or miss at best. i usually just restore the file system for my aplcations to get those back and not mess with the rom
[Google Pixel 6] pbman1953:
From the last 2 updates on the Beta 13, sometimes you tap and it doesn't change to the next choice. There's a slight flash, like it feels the tap, but doesn't change. Has anyone experienced this?

New ROM for german users, hope you like it!

(Download starts after 15 seconds)

P.S.:

This ROM needs still some fixes but it can be used for daily usage with no risk I think!
