The firmware link given is that of Redmi K40S/POCO F4 (munch).
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] zelos156:
Munch is Redmi k40s and poco f4. Typical name phone from xiaomi
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] n9imed:
is only for xiaomi?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] rideriang:
Great job 👍 a lot customization.

5g enable
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Nseven94:
I have problems with the whatsapp audio I SEND, they are very low in volume while no problems with the audio I receive. Same problem with the audio I send in Telegram. Anyone have similar problems? If I use an app to record the voice and then send the audio in whatsapp then no problem so I rule out microphone problems in general. Very strange.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] fakecw:
Same here. Sound shared from recorder app works fine.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] zelos156:
It's poco f4/redmi k40s topic. what do you think?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
I've problems with installing YouTube Vanced app or Revanced (with patches) on that ROM. App won't install because it detects newer package (even with uninstalling via adb) or after patching (latest recommended version in revanced: v17.36.37) app crashes. It didn't happen to me before. Does anyone experience the same problem in SparkOS?

Except it it ROM works smoothly and everything else seems working. I like customization, miss only split screen.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] n9imed:
how difficult is it for u to answer correctly?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] fakecw:
vanced works fine on my device, split screen works fine too
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Old vanced or revanced? Did you uninstall vanilla youtube via adb shell before with following command

or in different way like with app "System app remover"?

And how do you use split screen? I always clicked at icon on top while on apps preview. Now it appears only app name, "about app" and "Force stop".

----------

edit: noticed one issue with persistent notifications. I am using Notify for Mi Band, which has permament notification which shows that I am connected to Mi Band, however in that ROM I am able to disable it just by swiping right/left. Never met with such an ability before on any rom in any of my phones.

edit2 21.02.2023: issue looks fixed
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] fakecw:
I installed vanced via vanced manager, no need to remove original yt app.

Split shown when I pressed app icon
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Hmm, I managed to get work with newer youtube (v17-36-37 from apkmirror) which I patched with "revanced" app however it needed few attempts because of crashes.

And about split screen... well - that's strange.

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] seepranavg:
This (v13.1) is by far the best experience I have had on a custom ROM in a long time. But while trying to dirty flash, i was getting some encryption issue and had to format the phone. Anyone tell me why this happened and also how to avoid this in future updates? Thank you in advance. #Davinci
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Tbnitz:
Same problem here
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Bimsthin:
With the 2022-10-25 build the low mic volume is gone for me!

Thanks for the great rom!
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Flashed new build (dirty flash).

I am surprised because slow motion mode (960fps/720p) works great with MIUI camera. I didn't manage to get it working on any gcam before. However 64mpx mode causes strange kind of crash - I am getting notification in MIUI camera about not available camera. I cannot switch to other mode except removing app cache.

Not sure whether it's related with dolby configs, but YouTube ReVanced seems to work better. It doesn't crash now with higher amount of patches, before I used only options to keep YouTube in background while playing music and removing general ads.

Also, there is still issue with ability to disable permament notification-bar from Mi Notify app, which shouldn't be possible.

PS. Changelog of build for curious people:

Yeah man happens with me too. I am on the latest 13.5.5, will try to either flash non gapps or downgrade
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] 0kti:
Try different kernel.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Tenome7:
Trying different kernel has no effect. Mine issue is so severe that the OS has started freezing inside a min after booting.

I think it has something to do with the app permissions or root. I tried using the stock rom before setup for some time, & had no issues until I started using my usual apps.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Tenome7:
Have the exact same issue on CrDroid as well. Get my setup almost running when suddenly the system starts freezing immediately & forces itself to boot again, just to freeze within 10 seconds again. Below is the logcat (from CrDroid) if someone can help me to find the issue. Thanks !!!
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] blackholecat:
I use AccuBattery.

2.5% aren't good, right? That's -25% a day without using the phone. With the miui rom that was on the phone, I'Ve never had to worry about battery life (I think my screen on time was around 7h) and just like you I used the Mi band 5 and AOD.

LOS device tree problem?

btw send this logs to crdroid topic, or dev
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Tenome7:
Thanks for your suggestion. I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM on SparkOS as well, so thought of posting here as well.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Are you using YouTube Revanced? I suspect that it may be a problem. Before where I had issues with phone and it restarted or I restarted it, then modified YT app disappeared.

I had worse stats on another phone. I think it's not bad (BT + AoD). Only SoT would be better, max 4.5h.

so Why the apps crashed???????
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] lemon567:
Installed latest SparkOS 13.6 and did a clean flash as suggested in the OP, working good so far the only thing thats causing me issues is that the Spark Launcher crashes when trying to open its settings. Has anyone else experienced this is there a fix or workaround for that?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] AR satria:
Hello gays, I feel that the latest updates 13.5.5 and 13.6 run out of battery easily. is it just me who feels it?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] pbgapski:
13.5.5 had the best battery life; 13.6 seems to have dropped a few battery patches, but still has good battery life. I use the phone mainly for messaging and pictures, no games or other heavy usage.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] AR satria:
How about 13.5. Does 13.5.5 have fps settings? On 13.6 I can't find the fps setting.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] pbgapski:
I am now on 13.6, so I no longer can tell. If it was there, I have never used it.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] meltbanana:
yes, it's there under display min max refresh rate settings, but the battery drain might bei caused by background updates of the google play services. cause now I'm still on 13.5.5 and the battery lasts for about a day, massive drain overnight.

Anybody got microg working on SparkOS ?So far I haven't found a way to enable signature spoofing which is needed by microg
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] AR satria:
Hello Friends. .One more question. I have a problem. I'm using version 13.5.5 always can't use dialpad calls or call using sim card... always error "connection problem or invalid mmi code" I don' t know how to solve it.It happens with every version.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] UniNick:
I tested an earlier version where sig spoof was enabled, not sure about the recent builds however. But I don't think devs changed that, either.

At that time microg installed and worked fine (just download the apks from the microg website, install and reboot).

Only CTS mismatch, that means some banking apps won't run.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] DenHafiz69:
Just updated from version 13.5.5 to 13.6 and 2 button navigation is not available anymore. Is that a feature from SparkOS or AOSP itself?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Adiyasa:
hi everyone. . I want to ask how to update the GPU driver on sparkOS because I've tried but it still doesn't work. even though when flashing the Zip it was successful, when checking using aida64 it still didn't work. . I'm using version 13.5.5
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Adiyasa:
lots of features missing in version 13.6. . now I'm back on v13.5.5
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Adiyasa:
I've done it.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] lemon567:
Turns out that the Spark Launcher Settings do not crash on Dark Mode on Spark 13.6. BTW Spark 13.7 has been released on the 29th of august 2023.

Spark 13.8 has been released might give it a try
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] lemon567:
Do a clean flash of Spark 13.8 (no dirty flash) and see if the issue still persists. Also flash the latest global firmware.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] aresjan:
it was the first thing I tried, I did a clean flash and doesn't work. Reinstalled lastest miui and tried the sensors and they worked fine, so i format all again and reinstalled sparkOS 13.8, and the sensors still dont work, I'm the only one with this problem or is a bug of the rom?. The sensor worked fine on spark 13.5

Please share the link of the module you used
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] lemon567:
I didn't use any module the links in the op post have the links to the firmware and the rom. I suggested that you should install spark 13.8 since I was assuming by the date of your post that you are still using spark 13.7.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] lemon567:
Maybe if you go to the spark rom github and open an issue the dev(s) might take a look at it and offer a solution. Link to github: https://github.com/Spark-Rom
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Edilson-89:
Sorry, I interacted with the wrong message. I would like the link to the module you used to solve the problem with the camera.

I tested, on my phone works fine, I'm on SparkOS 13.8. Check the adapter because others brands maybe don't work (for Example I have the adapter from the MI 8, and doesn't work in a galaxy s20FE, it says "accessory not compatible")

Hey guys, currently on *[ROM][MUNCH][MIUI][V14.0.23.9.11.DEV][14.0.7] EliteRom MIUI 14 A13 for POCO F4 / K40*

but it doesn't seem to have much current following/support so looking to change till I find something I like. I am very recently back into the rooting scene so I am quite outdated after probably getting on 10 years. I just want a stable ROM that everything works on and I can tinker with when I want. Couple things I am just wondering;

do I literally have to flash this and wipe or do I need to flash new kernel or base or anything too (used to need to flash new ROM/Boot/Kernel unless was from the same base from what I remember). Also what are the limitations using banking apps now? Does everyone's work with this ir is it after Magisk they stop? I have seen workarounds from 6 months back with the likes of B@rclays but then patched and no confirmed fixes since. Is it root or apps or BL they check? I think I figured through permissions you have to allow it to have access to apps so it can "make a call" to prove is legitimate (for login token I guess) but then I guess it sees something it doesn't like and spews out ooo6

Will the new build be released with Android 14?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] padiyes:
Mine working well (only 1 particular app that still unable to work due since long ago, don't know maybe they block my account?). Install magisk+lsposed+hide my app list for workaround.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] padiyes:
This is not the official website of spark, but a community discussion, so I don't think that anyone could answer this q.

Imho, if A14 insteresting enough and anyone with proper capability have this device, sure, we just need some time before a build based on A14 released.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Demon0_0:
Is 5G working for you guys. I tried updating reflashing the latest global firmware even forcing 5G only but nothing seems to be working. Is it just me or is it a rom issue?

Also I can't seem to manually select any network it shows error
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] aresjan:
I also cannot select the network, but the 5G works fine, I just needed to change the APN on my carrier, but 0 problems with 5G.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] RoloFox:
I have a question , I have sparkOs recovery installed, and installed orange fox recovery, after I reboot from system to recovery I always reboot to sparkOs recovery. Is that the way it should be or should I always have to recover to orange fox?

And how would make it so that the recovery is always orange get fox?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] SavageRobot:
Have been running this rom from clean flash for about a week and really liking, likely to be daily driver if I can find a fix for battery? Drain seems crazy, Its had a few wipes and run down/recharge but doesn't seem to last a day. On stock and my previous it would easily last through the night without having to recharge so a power cut I would still have my alarm but this gets down to about 50% by the time I finish work and I barely use it then. Is this something other people have experienced?

If not I was thinking about tinkering and flashing a different kernel, eg "No Gravity", are different kernels OK with custom ROMs these days? (not done this for years before this)

Like I say except for battery drain I would keep this as is anyway.

Also Spark recovery can't seem to find backup etc, do I need to use TWRP/Orangefox to do that?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] SavageRobot:
I accidentally found my old TWRP when I got stuck in bootloop by when restarting holding vol up and power when on the poco splash. I assume this still works well, but please confirm
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] SavageRobot:
Can anybody advise on the battery please? Is this something regular with the ROM? Is there a different kernel worth trying with it?

Did @RoloFox or anybody confirm if the Power+up to TWRP recovery work OK, or is there a clash with A/B partitions or anything? Can't backup/restore on spark recovery that I can see?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] RoloFox:
i did the power + up , entered sparkOS recovery, switched to other partition and could boot into orangefox recovery
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] SavageRobot:
I think that's what I did in a fluster. Were you able to backup etc from there then boot into the other partition or switch back first?

apparently yes
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] SaltyRhino95857:
Nice. But i still have some questions.

1. What partitions does SparkOS encrypt?

2. Does SparkOS recovery allow actions like you would do on TWRP/OFOX? (Seems like an obvious question, but y'know what OEMs do with their recoveries😂)

3. Does SparkOS recovery have password protection?

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] baggino:

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] kembruk:
still waiting for the AOD fix to add an automatic shut-off schedule and dim if it's in the dark because it's always bright, it eats a lot of power, thank you
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Schedule for AoD you can find there:

Settings -> Display -> Locl screen -> Always on display schedule

Auto-dim is probably unavailable for now (or I didn't find), but you're right. I noticed too that compared to MIUI, AoD consumes here more battery because it's always bright.

Try to flash OrangeFox, wipe dalvik/cache/system, then copy ROM .zip file into internal memory and flash it via OrangeFox (with selected preserving orangefox otherwise it will change to pseudo-AOSP-stock-recovery).

Hi Guys,

my Fingerprint Scanner isn't working reliably. Sometimes it does work. Most of the times it doesn't.

On first setup I was able to setup two fingers without problems. Now I can unlock my phone 1 out of 10 times via fingerprint.

It says that I've to clean the display/scanner and try again. When I try to setup a new fingerprint it fails halfway through the setup with "fingerprint could not be registred".

Tried with hydrogel screen protector and without screen protector. Same behaviour.

I'm coming from stock MIUI. Therefore haven't flashed firmware.

Did somebody ran into the same problem?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Noticed similar problem after switching from MIUI, but not only on SparkOS but different ROMs I tested too. Seems like overall AOSP issue for our device.

My workaround was to add 2x the same finger. Unfortunately there is limit how many fingerprint we can set (5). I hope it will be improved in the future.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Sh0rt3y:
After some tinkering around I've found that disabling smart pixels solves the problem in my case. Makes sense, if you think about it, hehe.

Also adding the same fingerprint makes it a lot faster. Thanks for your advice.

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
I don't use smart pixels (enabled for battery safe mode which I don't use) but still encounter that issue, I think it's not related with it.

I'm having a weird issue with permissions. There's one specific app I know should be asking for permission to access Photos and Videos, and yet it simply doesn't. Instead, when I try to use a file upload button inside the app that would need this permission, it just silently errors.

Looking at the app's permissions in the settings, Photos and Videos doesn't show up either on Allowed or Not allowed.

I didn't have issues with this app when using stock MIUI, and I have no idea what, if anything, I can do about this.
