Hello, I noticed that new build is up, so Inform these curious of you without Telegram. I just dirty flashed and... I have feeling that front camera photos looks worse on artifical lightning - both gcam and pre-built MIUICam. the photos are less clear and there are lines like in a person with astigmatism. It's strange, because I didn't notice it before and sometimes in this place under this light I used the front camera.

Allso I needed to reflash Magisk in OrangeFox separately (in Magisk Manager I was getting error with my magisk.img) and then reinstall YouTube ReVanced and re-patch it again (edit: I noticed that YouTube was downgraded to older version and it caused incompatibilities).

Strange. I hope AoD will work better now as stated below.

Hello,

I just installed SparkOS (Vanilla) and I discover that there are Apps from GrapheneOS including Google services (Play store, Play services and Framework services). Does all this work like with GrapheneOS, i.e. in Sandboxed mode ?

(GrapheneOS includes compatibility layer for sandboxed Play services to make user installed Play services apps able to run as fully sandboxed, unprivileged apps).

- dark theme on

- maximium refresh rate set to 120Hz

In some apps, the background alternates between two dark gray tones. Especially visible when you tap on the display. When I set the maximium refresh rate back to 60Hz, the flashing disappears. Has anyone made the same observation?

It seems to be the most optimized among the Android 13 chrome installations. The camera is also close to miui genuine, thank you so much.

This bug still exist after I flash lasted build.

I'll try other rom instead...
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Bimsthin:
This is not a problem for me.

Did you look out to switch the MAC address option? The default here is to use a randomized MAC every time you try to connect, therefore it asks every time for a password. You can set it to per-network randomized or just use the device MAC and it should work fine. just have to "edit" the settings for that specific network.

BUG: Certain audio apps playing via speaker will make crackling / popping noise at some intervals

Using Spark-13.2-Official-munch-20221113-gapps.zip

TEST: Goto settings -> Sound & Vibration -> Clear speakers, turn it on and wait for the crackle / poping.

When played through bluetooth headsets theres no crackling, and i just flashed from stock MIUI and there was no cracking before so its not a hardware issue. Crackling doesnt just appear on the clean speaker, other apps also produces it, stock utube doesnt, some audio players do.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
Also a general request to increase the both rom's system partition. Manually resizing it with the EROFS format is cumbersome ;)

Bug. There is no sound in the Beatstar game, but if you turn screen recording on and off, the sound appears and remains until the game is restarted. Can you fix it?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Second time after flashing latest update (almost two weeks ago), just quarter minutes ago I got second crash with infinite loading and needed to reboot it again. I didn't use phone that time (screen OFF), but WiFi and WiFi tethering were enabled and it was in use. Does anyone experience too that issue?

Logcat didn't show me situation before crash but maybe it will help somehow @spkal01: https://pastebin.com/SeFguB5i
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Vega56:
For me it runs since the installation of a few days ago absolutely without problems. No crash or similar.

I'm sorry guys, I'm in the wrong thread here.

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] kembruk:
does anyone know how to fit the bottom of the keyboard to the bottom of the screen frame so that the bottom of the keyboard has no gap. thanks

One more thing, all AOD in the next update can be adaptive to the surrounding environment so it's not always bright even in the da rk
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
No, but i have noticed some weirdness with the internet (mobile data / wifi). Like a game will complain theres no internet even tho utube is running in the background. And 1 time when mobile data isnt giving me internet, i tried to restart it but it got stuck at the initial boot screen (before the bootanimation) before i force restart it again.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
Another thing ive noticed is the doze battery drain is very bad.

7 hours of doze for 12% battery is preetyy yikez.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Vega56:
Are you using the GAPPS version?

With the vanilla everything is great.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
Im using the vanilla version with my own gapps installed systemlessly via magisk. I'll do another doze test with gapps off.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
Atm ive mitigated this by using ArrowOS's latest kernel. No more audio issues that ive observed.

Nvm i spoke too soon kekw
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Vega56:
I have no problems with the sound.

Use the vanilla version.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
I am using the vanilla version. The issue now also appears in latest crDroid after they cherry pick some stuff from SparkOS. It only clicks/crackles/pops on apps that plays audio via native code and not the java api (mostly games n hifi audio players).
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
I've done more tests with my gapps off, still the same. For comparison heres my doze test with 20221121 crDroid.

Which is way better compared too this
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
Found a workaround for the audio clicks / pops / cracks on applications that plays audio via native code and not java api (e.g. games), also needs root. Goto /vendor/etc/audio_policy_configurations.xml

Line 101 and find this:

<mixPort name="raw" role="source" flags="AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_FAST|AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_RAW">
<profile name="" format="AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT"
samplingRates="48000" channelMasks="AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO"/>
</mixPort>

Change it to

<mixPort name="raw" role="source" flags="AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_FAST">
<profile name="" format="AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT"
samplingRates="48000" channelMasks="AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO"/>
</mixPort>

This eliminates the weird audio issue while still keeping dolby functionality for music apps. Note this is a workaround and disables raw audio output, the real issue is still somewhere else (kernel maybe?) but it works for now. Maybe @spkal01 can look into it
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
I got similar issue on my previous phone with lack of internet and needed to enable and disable airplane mode for few moments. Disabling mobile data/WiFi didn't helped.

------------------------------

I got another fatal reboot when phone was unused (without tethering this time), now phone booted normally. Below you will find some more logs @spkal01:

Thank you for bringing us such a good ROM, but one downside is that it doesn't provide multi-weight fonts for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean like other native ROMs. This leads to single-weight fonts in many apps and system UI, but I found a Magisk module that would make it great if you could merge it into the Sparks ROM.

There's screen brightness problems. It just randomly changes to a brighter color and then switches back. It happens while I scroll and type. It's annoying tbh.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Senjosei:
This happens when the refresh rate switches from 60hz to 120hz. A workaround for now is to set it at 120hz all the time and choose which apps at 60hz. (This also happens on other roms, but worse on roms that have 90hz as an option)
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Sending SMS stopped worked for me, what is interesting receiving working. APN is set correctly. Too much bugs in this rom in recent time :/. I used Textra and it didn't even gave me info that sms was not send, switched to default app aand here I see issue. All permissions are granted.

Log while trying to send new message: https://pastebin.com/kmCRr8RV

edit: strange, in my APN probably disappeared address in MMSC row. I didn't even change/set APNs after rom installation and didn't open that settings before - SMS just was working since flashing so I guess something was set under MMSC when it was working.

I restored (set) MMSC "http://mmsc.play.pl/mms/wapenc" for Internet APN for my provider (telco Play in Poland), connection was reseted and seems to work now.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] aresjan:
Thanks for the fantastic ROM, i'm using it as my daily driver. With the app Snap Cam you can record video with 1080p 240 fps and 4k 120fps resolutions. Is there any way to add that feature to the stock camera?

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] rubythal:
Does it charge at a 120w?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Phone technically is constructed to charge at max 67W. I checked and my phone maximum got ~50-55W using official charger and cable. It's still really fast.

Years ago there were modifications for various phones that increased the maximum charging current (I used one for my samsung s3 and changed 1A->1.1A) but I doubt if it still makes sense and if it is still safe with such large watts.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
I can confirm. Option is still available, but phone doesn't wake up when double tapped.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] aresjan:
I update to latest version and double tap still works perfect. Double tap for the screen off works from the home screen on any empty space or the notification bar, and double tap to wake works ok. i have all the double tap options activated, the ones from the screen options, and the ones from fireworks>gestures .
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
I didn't use double tap on top/bottom or status bar to off, but enabled it and... it works. However still phone doesn't want to wake up when double tapped.

I just checked logs and when I'm tapping I'm getting multiple warnings and errors.

The new recovery file has no file extension, but the same file size as the old boot.img :unsure:.

Can I use my old magisk_patched-xxx.img from previous build to gain root after dirty flashing new 20221220.zip or do I always need to use the associated boot.img from the same build and repatch it in magisk?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
I didn't use repatched boot.img, just magisk.img (change magisk.apk extension to magisk.img) and I flash it via recovery (OrangeFox, because flashing .img via Magisk Manager gives me error). Sometimes I need to do it twice because Magisk Manager shows that root is not installed.

On the latest version bluetooth a2dp profile isn't working. The rest looks ok, but when you want to listen to music or play a video and had bluetooth headphones, it simple doesn't play, I tried to deactivate a2dp hardware on developers options, it ask to reboot the phone, but after the reboot it doesn't change anything.

Another question, do you use camera app of this room or do you use another cam ?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:

VOLTE and VOWIFI working on this rom? (Question for Polish Users)
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] llaumgui007:
Work for me.

Yes, but BSG cam is not officially supported... Do you use a xml ? The 3 lens are called 0.6x, 1x and 1.1x, but the last is a 2x. Do you know a method to rename it ?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
Phone is switching to "H" (3g) from LTE during calling even it is enabled on settings, my mobile carrier cupports it, so I don't know why it switches to 3g.

I don't even know, I tested Parrot043, Arnova and BSG builds and it works the best. 8.7.250_A11_V1 was crashing, but V3 is working perfect (0 crashes) and I noticed that processing time is significally shorter than before.

I don't use .xmls for longer time because often newer gcam versions are not compatible with olders. If possible, I always adjust values manually (for now bsg V3 has limited configuration).

You can't (probably) rename it without decompiling app and changing strings. The lens are 0.6, 1.0 and 1.1 - wide/normal/macro. 1x and 2x are just zoom values, you can cover each camera with your finger and test.

PDC Tool helps with VOLTE and VOWIFI. Row_commercial profile was incorectly set as default so that's why incoming calls was unrecognized. I've set to Play_Poland_Commercial and now both working great.

[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] aresjan:
Well if you read my post, maybe you found earlier that the culprit was the A2DP profile, and that only happens in the latest version, the rom from 13 of november if fine. It looks like its a problem from the AOSP source, the pixels also had the same problem and it's fixed with google latest update, I'm hoping that the next release include the fix.

hi & thanks a lot for this awesome rom.

I'm using it relatively google free with microg revived and it looks fantastic.

however I got two issues.

car bluetooth is broken and that's a known bug.

and the second one I noticed today is that the dialer doesn't pop-up somethimes at incoming calls - it only rings, so I'm using the google dialer until the next release. 👍🏻 oh and a minor thing is the wetter widget only displays in english with the wrong time, one hour behind here (CET).

Are you using gapps version?. I updated from the version of 20 of december to the 14 of january and the bluetooth problem was fixed (or at leat i can connect to the car and headphones trough A2DP), I'm using the gapps version and wipe Dalvik and cache.

been using since December SparkOS rom, I'm finding it good, excellent for daily use.

i needed the magisk module to activate call recording, which doesn't always work.

You need to keep disabled "Mi Sound Enhancer" for bluetooth audio.

I've updated from December release to January release without clean and without problems.

Good work :)

Stock MIUI user here... Thinking to jump to this ROM. Currently I am currently running firmware v13.0.7. v14.02.2 just became available for my device. My question is, in order to install the latest SparkOS release (230230114), which firmware version shall I have flashed previously? v13 or v14? I ask this because when the last SparkOS build was released, firmware v13 was the latest one for my region.

A newbie question. I am using with Magisk to have root privileges but certain apps refuse to work because of it. Is there a way around it?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 (Munch) / Redmi K40S] Atexor:
You need to hide root for these apps in Magisk.

1. OpenMagisk Options.

2. Change Magisk package name in options to random one (by deafult "Settings" but you can name it as you want)

3. It will reinstall Magisk with new name.

4. Open again Magisk Options - look for "Zygisk" and enable it.

5. Then, in one row below enable "Enforce DenyList".

6. Again, one row below click "Configure DenyList".

7. You will see various apps. You need to tick checkboxes on the apps you want to hide Magisk from.

8. You will see blue line above app name. Make sure it's filled completely:

If not (like above), click on app name to expand it and make sure all boxes are ticked, otherwise app can still detect root or not working correctly (I noticed it for another bank app).

That's all and should work for you.
