Really nice! Update runs like hell! :D Thank you so much!

Btw...had to install magisk via bootloader (patch in advance). Via twrp (sideload) didn't worked for me.

Hi,

I am not able to able stable LTE connection (lost after few minutes and never come back). LTE is only available after a reboot, just after unlocking the SIM but when unlocking the phone, LTE collapsed.

I am using a global version (RFAMIXM).

Done a flash first with the lastest China Firmware version but LTE did'nt work, neither bluetooth.

Done again (always clean install) with lastes global Firmware but not better regarding LTE.

Any idea ?. Did someone else try to use this room using a global version ?.

thanks for updates! the sourceforge link was unavailable the day before yesterday. no cepheus roms. and i wonder how i can set a 84 or 75 refresh rate : )
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ashaman25:
Successfully updated just now! Thanks 🙏
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ashaman25:
I used this firmware version and have no issues:

fw_cepheus_miui_CEPHEUS_V12.5.6.0.RFACNXM_5d1239a6d1_11.0

This was suggested by @Chema_F. I ordered the Global version from gearbest in May 2019.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
You can't change the refresh rate in my A13 builds. I know there were some attempts to implement it in the past but I've been told that it was unstable. I also know that Raphael (Mi 9t pro) has it even for 108 but honestly this is something that would take me many time of tests while there are other things to be fixed.

But it's in my mind and who knows..
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jmrxi:
Hi, done another clean install using this firmware but after few hours, FTE disapear again. Very strange behaviour. I am really disapointed because a like this rom.

@Chema_F

Hey, just a short information regarding that "VoWifi without mobile signal" bug:

It is working perfectly on Lineage 19 Beta by SebaUbuntu.

Under *#*#4636#*#* --> Phone Info --> Data Network Type it says: IWLAN, when you enable VoWifi and enter aeroplane-mode.

Maybe that helps. Because on any other ROM this is NOT showing up.

And thanks for your hard work of course ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] badpixel134:
I edited META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in the rom file and dirty flash updated with encrypted status and It worked.

All I did was just removing all wipe cache strings.

I didn't get anything weird things yet, but I dunno it's fine or not. Try this at your own risk.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raptorq99:
Quick question. I am on crDroid A12 latest build, unencrypted. Latest TWRP installed. I want to switch to Evolution X A13 and have the phone encrypted, as long as OTA Updates work, that's fine with me. What do I have to do? Just clean install from TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
Format data, wipe rest as usual and then install new rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raptorq99:
Alright, so I don't need to encrypt after install from within settings...?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
Please read instruction on first page...#7:

Install the ForcedEncryption disabler if you want to keep your Data unencrypted

If you want a unencrypted phone, flash ForcedEncryption disabler. If u want a encrypted phone don't flash it.

It has nothing to do in the settings in the OS.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raptorq99:
Alright, thanks man.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raptorq99:
Hey, anyone tried enrolling the device in Microsoft Intune with this Rom? My device is encrypted, not rooted, no Magisk installed. Installing Intune and logging in with Company data works, but it doesn't start the enrollment process. In the intune App the device is listed with "Device settings status - unknown".... Any ideas?

Thanks, raptor

Great ROM, decent battery and very smooth. Thanks to the dev/s for keeping the Mi9 alive.

Does anyone know what value in the mixer path I have to edit to increase earpiece volume. I'm struggling to hear persons on calls.

Phone is rooted.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raptorq99:
Hmm, no problems here with Bluetooth headset volume on calls. You could try "Wavelet" from playstore. Great eq and sound adjustment app. I use it to enhance my sound quality with music. But I think you can also pre Amp volume etc...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] __infin1ty:
Sometimes screen doesn't turn off automatically. I have set the timer to 15 seconds and,30 but as i said this happens randomly. Other than that, everything else works pretty well.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raptorq99:
Possible, but it's strange that after company login through intune, the enrollment check/process doesn't even start. I'd expect the check to at least start and then detect the unlocked bootloader...?

Hi. Got it !. My LTE issue was coming from this application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.freemobile.android.vvm.

I don't know why but with this one, no more LTE available. After deleting this app, black.

Just done a clean install with lastest version from Jan 19th. All is working fine.

Contrats to the team for this great job !
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] danitco:
Maybe you have dirty earpiece, quite usual. Try to clean it with a tooth brush
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
Please check the instructions in the first post, you need to Format Data if you come from retrofit ROMs which is the case of EvolutionX A12.

Make sure that you read and understand all the instructions and don't hesitate to ask here if you have doubts.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DavidRJ:
Almost perfect ROM for me. Great battery, nice UI features, Android Auto works (problematic on many other ROMs) and everything works perfectly encrypted with newest TWRP. Thanks a lot.

Although one issue I already encountered on some other A12 ROMs: Random freezes. When not being used for a while, the phone sometimes gets stuck and doesn't respond to any input. The only thing that helps is a hard reboot by holding the power button. I haven't followed the ROM scene on Mi9 for a while, is this still a problem that we have to live with? Or did we already find the cause? I am curious if there's any workaround or fix nowadays.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Glpcha:
That's interesting. Haven't noticed any random freezes yet. Waiting on a Nohon battery and case, so I can use it as my main phone.

Was that intended?

Can u add screen refresh rate overclock like evolution x 6.6

I tried it but it didn't work. Maybe I will try it again in a near future but I can't promise anything.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
@binsky08 yeah, Seedvault was removed due to a persistent notification.

@ceprk1 this is happening in all ROMs because Google is going crazy, but it has been already fixed and the problem will be gone with next update which will happen in a couple hours probably.

When I want to set up wireless payment, handy told me - "Your phone does not meet the security requirements."

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AlexGomes89:
What does this question of keeping the data or not encrypted mean? Does it compromise the use of the system in any way? If anyone can explain me better about this! Thanks!

Another thing, I'm using MIUI 12.5.1 Global, should I still flash the Chinese version 12.5.6?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kuzkotopia:
Hello everyone,

This post is a feedback on how it went with the flash, setup and how things are going;

It's been 48 hours I'm on this ROM and so far a lot of good things :

The battery life issue I had on A12 is definitely gone, and the experience is really smooth. From 3 hours to 8, my experience is really good.

But getting there wasn't easy, despite coming from A12 Evolution.

First flashing the recovery : After failing with the official build, and another recovery, I used the latest build from https://github.com/PycmShoma/Action-Recovery-builder/releases

with "fastboot flash recovery *filename*"

Secondly, no amount of ADB sideloding without disabling encryption could work.

(error code 7)

Multiple attempts to factory reset, wipe data / cache / dalvik and system could help, only disabling encoryption, then wiping data, cache, dalvik and system and finally adb sideloading the rom would finally work.

After the boot, the ROM did not pass the android security check, required for google pay, BUT there was an update available in the settings. Applied it and it passed.

Right now, the only 2 things not working are :

- the fingerprint scanner with "smart pixel" enabled. Maybe there is something to be fixed there (partially disabling smart pixel on the part of the screen responsible for the fingerprint scanning ?)

- The 48 MPx mode on the camera.

Anyway, thank you, to the modders and everyone involved in the release of this ROM, this allows me to keep my Mi9 relevant.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Meneldur:
Hello.

Please tell me more about this. Couldn't you just format data and start with a fresh new partition to install? Was it necessary to decrypt data on ANdroid and *then* go to recovery to wipe and flash?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kuzkotopia:
I tried to reformat the device before applying the encryption disabling zip, and mind you, every time I tried to format, I went back into TWRP, and rebooted to recovery to start clean.

I tried reformatting all partitions before adb sideloading , thinking It was the TWRP build I got that had issues, I search and fond the other one, but still had partitions issues.

It only worked after I sideloaded the disabling encryption zip, rebooting, formatting, rebooting and adb sideloading the rom.

It's a bit unscientific and i don't think I will reflash it because this phone is my daily driver.

But I must say that a common issue on many rom pages is that the "how to" tutorial is often not explicit.

It should be extremely clear : this rom has been tested with *this* exact version of the recovery that you can download *there* and flashed *this* way, then you go *here*, *here* and *there* to *step X*, then you go in *here* to adb sideload *this* file with *command*...

If I reflash, I'll probably to it :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
@Deluxx16 Are you using Magisk? Safetynet should be passed out of the box using the latest EvoX version. If you're using Magisk, go to its Settings, enable Zygisc, enable the DenyList, configure the DenyList looking for Google Play Services aka com.google.android.gms (you must show system apps) and toggling 'com.google.android.gms' and 'com.google.android.gms.unstable' and reboot. 'Safetynet fix' module is not needed.

@ceprk1 as Freddy said, it's a kind of magic

@Komachi101 absolutely, I would never release an update which I don't think it makes the things better. And it's ok dirty flashing directly from 7.5 to 7.6.1

@AlexGomes89 having encrypted Data (and it's referred to the Data partition) makes the Data unavailable in recovery mode without the correct pattern, password or pin. This means that if someone steals your phone, he/she can't access your Data with phone ON because of the lockscreen security and from the recovery neither because the security method needs to be bypassed too. With Data non-encrypted, Data is not accessible from the System because of the lockscreen security, but the recovery doesn't require any security so anyone could have access to your Data from the recovery. Now that we have custom recovery with decryption support, it is recommended to have Data encrypted.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MalinKaMp3:

Just curious, any concern why this is not supported anymore?

I was using this feature for some apps.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:

Also i see some of apps can't start, while few days ago before update everything was fine. Here logs from example
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mich9874:
Hi, overall the system is great but i have one problem. Sometimes (on average once every 2 weeks) the phone freezes completely and nothing but a long press of the power button doesn't help. So far this hasnt been a problem, but last night it happened and in the morning the alarm clock didnt ring and I was late for work. Any ideas how to fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
Honestly I can't remember anyone else reporting such thing. And the worst thing is that it's not something reproducible to take a log. Are you using magisk modules or anything that could make a difference?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mich9874:
No, I only have a clean system installed without any extra stuff
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MrSroka:
It's very common issue for ROMs based on EvasionXiao kernel. As I see, he (or she??) is mentioned as a contributor so this ROM is based on that kernel. A lot of people is complaining about it for very long time and still no fix has been discovered. You can look for details on PixelExperience or crDroid forum.

It doesn't matter if you have magisk or not - it's a kernel issue.

Moreover the phone freeze occurs randomly so you can't predict it (sometimes every 2 weeks, sometimes every 2 days...).
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MrSroka:
You can change key mappings using TWRP recovery without Magisk ;) but I'm not sure if the mappings will be saved after update because you need to change file on system partition (and as everyone knows system partition is being flashed during update and your changes may be overwritten).

So there is the instruction:

Boot into TWRP recovery (version doesn't matter because you don't need to decrypt data for this)

Go to "Mount" and mount system partition

Go to "Advanced" and open File manager

Go to the folder "/system_root/system/usr/keylayout", find and click file "gpio-keys.kl" and click "Edit file"

Scroll down to the end of file and change last line with key 689 from "AI" to "VOICE_ASSIST"

Press Ctrl+X, press "Y" and Enter to save file.

Go back and reboot to system.
