I installed NoGravity Kernel 1.4 in miui14..0.4

After a period of time, unlocking the device will result in a black screen. can use a voice assistant to turn up the brightness. Repairing the F2-1.4.0-dtbo-miui file has no effect.

Other places are very useful, especially after installing the kernel, you can directly use kernelSU.

Hi, thank you for your kernel.

Issue:

In balance mode, some games only have sound and game graphics stuck.

How to switch kernel mode without Magisk?

Is there a way to modify the parameters of the GPU?

Directly modify it in your kernel source code?

I used your kernel source code and updated KernelSu to the latest version, but found that KernelSu cannot modify gpu parameters like Magisk.

Hi! I tried thia kernel on latest Xiaomi.eu (14.0.5, root user)

Found the following bugs:

-yellowish lock screen when reading mode active

-cannot zoom pictures in apps, or difficult to zoom in. Example: on Instagram i cannot zoom in with two fingers, on X (Twitter) you can zoom in but is like you have to make a big zoom with fingers to zoom a little.

-black screen after unlocking device via fingerprint. It turns on after a little time. Really annoying hahaha

Anyway overalls it works snappy, so i look forward to installing again this kernel. Love the option of controlling how to charge the phone. Thats mainly why i installed it

Cheers

EDIT: after flashing dtbo everything above is fixed. Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Pierre2324:
Glad you like it, yes miui isnt the best option to pair with custom kernels, but

you need to flash miui dtbo to have working pinch to zoom and other miui stuffs working.

Hi I found there is dtbo.img in your anykernel zip (latest). Does it mean we have to extract that and flashed in twrp or does it get flashed automatically? Thanks in advance for your hard work.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Pierre2324:
The one in ngk zip is aosp dtbo, when on miui (china based) you need to flash provided miui dtbo. If your miui doesnt work with ngk chances are you need to flash your ROM's dtbo. If that doesnt work neither then it simply wont work with that miui version. No hassle for aosp.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] kopter36:
Aah so thats why. I sometimes flashed ngk multiple times because of magisk issue (unrelated to kernel). That means I need to flash provided standalone dtbo.img after flash ngk kernel everytime, is that correct? Im currently on miEu 14.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Pierre2324:
Miui eu isnt china based right, so you need to backup your rom's dtbo and flash it after kernel.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] kopter36:
Based on what I can gather from miui eu community, it is indeed China based. But i will backup everything first just to be sure.

F2-NoGravityKernel-1.5.0-HotFix is not compatible with Pixel Experience [25/08/2023]
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] BuTbka:
Hi @Pierre2324! Thanks for your kernel! It is really great job!

I installed v1.5.0-fix on xiaomi.eu V14.0.5.0.SJKCNXM. After install I flashed attached dtbo, but there was a problem with black display after unlocking by fingerprint. It began working fine after I flashed dtbo from my firmware.

Is this normal that in NoGravityApp I see Mi 10T, I think that I should see Poco F2 Pro.

I read a lot about how to extend battery life. In the many articles suggest to charge battery from 20 to 80%. I using AccuBattery Pro which send me alert after battery reach 80%. Can you implement ability to stop charging after reaching some adjustable % value?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Pierre2324:
Yes you can use your rom's dtbo.

You should see f2pro, your installation is broken, this can happen due to the new kernelsu flashing behavior. Are you using kernelsu? Flash ngk using ngk app and it should fix it. I thought about the charging feature, but this can also lead to poor battery calibration.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] BuTbka:
Thanks for reply. No, I don't use kernelsu. I use Magisk delta. Flashing via nga solved the incorrect display of the model in the application.

As for the battery feature, this could just be an option, or you could add a hint about a calibration problem.

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Pierre2324:
I will copy my telegram post here for those who aren't on telegram:

Hi, I wanted to let yall know what's going on for the future of NoGravity Kernel.

It's been a while, but I've continued working on it and here's what I finally decided to go with.

For the next release,

-F1/ Mi8 : NGK 5.0.0

-X3Pro : NGK 4.0.0

-Mi10T / F2Pro / F3 / F4 : NGK 2.0.0

-NGK App 6.0.0

I decided to do a rebase of the kernel for every device.

I've started again from scratch for the better.

This should allow me to fix some major kernel issues :

-booting on A14 for X3 Pro,

-booting on A14 for Mi 10T, F2Pro, F3 & F4 (already tested)

-booting on encrypted ROMs for F1

Also showing some love for F1 users, the new kernel should be based on 4.19 linux version.

NGK App is also A14 ready. (already tested)

That being said, it will still take some time and

those who would like to help try my test builds can do so buy supporting my work and joining others on Patreon

or via Paypal

or Bitcoin : bc1q3y2unqkw24q2vuqusmalfwwjyzqq4k34crhw92

->dm me if you do from Paypal or Bitcoin

I'll be pretty active after Christmas break and it would be nice to have as many people there so we can all work on it to make sure the kernel & app are well tested on every devices so that we release this major update as soon as possible.

There may also be another announcement coming, but I'm still unsure about it yet.

Merry Christmas to everyone and happy new year!

Hope you are happy about the news. Thanks everyone!

2024 will be epic. ✨

Hello this core will fit on my Mi MIX 2S or how?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] hddkn:
Hello guys, im new here! New on kernels too, and moderate user in custom roms (imo).

So i have the F2 running xiaomi.eu A12 14.0.5 stable cn, with powerkeeper disabled, and flashed this kernel but a few doubts came through my mind:

I flashed in this order, kernel, hot fix, dtbo, via orangefox and all seems to be working fine. Was this the correct order?;

I dont plan to root the phone, so i dont have acess to the app but i was wondering how the profiles work, balanced by default but is it a limiter? Since im not using the app if i need more power than the balanced profile can provide will the kernel able to still get that power?;

Am i loosing that much without the ngk app?:

If i need to update kernel, can i just flash via recovery or need ngk app?;

Last question, is there any chance we can get a version of the app for non rooted, but with the options that need root unavailable?

Overall so far, i find it to be smoother than stock kernel and my apps seem to stay open while in background and not killed so often like stock. Battery seems fine, reporting 11%h screen on, and 1.2% screen off, small gain but noticeable.

Thank you! And happy 24!
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] Pierre2324:
No need to flash kernel then hotfix, hotfix is a full kernel in itself, but that's fine. Ngk app will never work without root. No problem in using ngk without root. Gpu performance can be enhanced with the app, but thats for going beyond stock limits. Ngk app can help you fine tune it more specifically to your liking but is optional.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, ] hddkn:
Yeah, gpu not much important to me as i dont game anymore on this device. So far its been a great kernel, battery improved a lot (more gains than the previous 1.2% i reported), better ram management, although some apps still close but not as much as stock, but in general a good option to replace stock.

Good afternoon,

Problem when adding ringtone to OPPO Watch. If you add them to the /sdcard/Ringtones/ category and after restarting the watch, they are displayed in the "Settings-Sound-Ringtone of the watch". The ringtone can be listened to and selected as a ringtone. However, during a test call to the clock, instead of the ringtone, a system sound similar to the sound of an error plays. And if you make a test call through "Find a device", then the ringtone works.

I tried to add a ringtone via ADB to the root of the system, where the standard ringtones are located. But, when copying, it gives an error. Through the file manager, when copying, the ringtone is not saved. Perhaps this is due to the restriction of rights. You need root rights.

Please tell me someone was able to deal with this problem?

Thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] Soundy106:
My Dad is in a care home without WiFi available. Visiting is difficult due to distance and health restrictions.

I would like to set him up with some sort of "digital photo frame" that my siblings and I can add photos to. I have an older Tab A with LTE that I figured I could rig up with Google Photos and a shared album we can all add photos to.

Unfortunately that doesn't work quite as seamlessly as I'd hoped. I can make the screensaver run a slideshow from a Google Photos album, which does what I need, but I have to actually go into the album and add the shared photos to it before the screensaver picks them up.

I've found a few digital frame apps that claim to be able to use a Google Photos album but so far no luck making them work, and the visiting problems means I can't regularly update photos in person.

My Nest Hub nicely does what we need (running a slideshow from a shared Photos album), but with no WiFi, it can't connect to that.

I figured if I could remote into the thing, I could force those updates, or just upload photos into a proper digital frame app... but this is too old (Android 5.0.2) for TeamViewer, and so far the only other thing I've found that claims to do what I need is Rescue+, which requires the tablet user to enter a code.

Can anyone suggest either another digital frame app that can pull photos from a shared online album, OR some kind of remote-access app that will work with this older device?

Yes, I've also thought of some kind of WiFi hotspot to provide internet for a proper digital frame, but I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible on-site and keep the equipment count down.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The simple solution is to just buy a digital frame that is already made for that purpose, otherwise, more than likely you won't be pleased with the results you get with what you are currently trying.
[General Questions and Answers] Soundy106:
Okay... do you know of one with LTE?

If not, it's still not a "simple solution."
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
True. If it is a tablet that can be activated on a mobile plan/prepaid network, that would reduce the amount of hardware and it could be set up to access remotely to update or add photos.
[S740, S743 General] Nigel Park:
My new HTC S740 is excellent except for one thing - the keypad backlight goes out after only 15 seconds. Very irritating in the dark.

I've looked for kb_light_timeout in hklm/software/htc/keypad but this does not exist.

I've found keylight timeout and qkeyledtimeout in hkcu/control panel/backlight which looks like the right place but altering values and rebooting makes no difference.

I've also looked in hklm/drivers/builtin/keylight and keypad.

I feel I'm very close. Can anyone help?
