Rooting is not recommended.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] liltechie:
Why is it not recommended?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
To be absolutely clear, This rom has no issues with magisk. Magisk in itself becomes an issue when a user misuses it or doesn't know how to properly use it.

Can someone add twrp mirror ? i can't access telegram.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
TWRP is already included in the ROM. You don't have to worry about it. You can flash the ROM in any TWRP and a new twrp that supports this ROM is flashed automatically .

In case you Flashed a different recovery and lost access to the one that comes with this rom then download it from here
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] raftrag:
Rom is amazing, I only have one problem: the inability to send SMS. Virgin system. SMS can be sent only after system restart and only for about 20 - 30 seconds. How can I help correct this issue? Factory reset does not help. Sorry for my English (google translator)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator} I would like to know what exactly is the issue. SMS doesn't go? does it give error 0 ? Do you see any error whatsoever while failing to send the sms ? Thank you.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] raftrag:
Thank you for your reply.

An attempt to send an SMS returns error 0. I tried on "crDroid-v9.2-20230224" and on "crDroid-v9.2-20230403"

I cleaned the SIM card.

I changed the SIM card slot.

SMS is sent when I set the preferred network type - 3G (settings-network and internet-sims)

When I set 4G - error 0

I installed the ROM Pixel Experience : SMS sends correctly (4G)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
This problem has already been solved in a test build. You can download it from here.

If you are already on crdroid Tim, simply open OTA App from settings > system > Updater, three dots on top right, local update select the above mentioned file and hit install. After updating to the test build sms error 0 should be resolved.

If you are not on crdroid Tim, then you have to clean flash crdroid latest full and then continue with the above mentioned process.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] raftrag:
Done and SMS send on 4G. Many thanks :)

I have 2 questions.

Can I turn wifi on and off with a program after rooting?

Can I disable root after rom install?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
You don't need root to do these:

I think you misunderstood.

I want to turn wifi on and off with nfc tag. It's not happening because of android sdk.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
Hello, OTA applied today from 9.2 (I guess) on Redmi note 8 pro and now stuck on the CrDroid's eye logo... I can't access telegram on my phone nor on my PC (asking me a sms code from my broken phone).

I've trusted this great ROM and made no TWRP backup before applying update unfortunately.

Help is really welcome as I have no phone now ;-). Thanks in advance.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 19Gonzo82:
Reboot into recovery and clear Dalvik and Cache, then reboot again
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
I tried your method but the "eye" is still looking at me without booting ;-), many thanks for your help anyway...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
Just to let you know all, this wasn't my first OTA update. Previous just worked fine and there's nothing noticeable changed on my phone since the last OTA so I don't understand what went wrong this time... I've just added a locking pattern to access my phone, I don't know if it matters...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
Try to flash stock boot.img and dtbo.img. Some kernels and modules conflict with new update. If it's not work, open TWRP and take backup
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
There's no way this could have happened. Don't modify the ROM in case you have. Not a single report of update failure other than you.

Custom Kernels, Magisk Or TWRP Modules. LSPosed, Different recovery. Disabling encryption by flashing DFE. There are so many ways this could have gone wrong. So I ask you, have you flashed any extra zip in twrp after flashing the ROM ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
Thanks for your help Dean : no I haven't flashed any extra. I allowed the update to load (no modification at all) agree to reboot, auto reboot in recovery (TWRP 3.7.0-12 20221018), the rom auto flashed (no failure message) then reboot to system and then, every time, gets stuck to the eye (with animated colors).... I do use Magisk but there was no problem with previous OTA update... Should I uninstall Magisk and/or reflash the full ROM? Will I loose my data?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
Yes still in bootloop : unfortunately I can't access telegram with my phone and to get telegram on my PC I need a security code sent on my phone ;-) I'll see if I can borrow a phone from a friend then...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
Thanks. I'll give it a try...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
It didn't work : I flashed both and then reboot but got stuck on the first "RedmiI" screen. Thanks anyway.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kencat:
Good news I got my phone back : I uninstalled Magisk (don't know if that was necessary though...) and flashed CrDroid 9.5 full rom with TWRP. Many thanks all for your help...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] GMMarin:
I think I've been having issues with the battery since May update, battery runs out faster and the phone heats up quite a lot when I leave the phone on my pocket. Doesn't matter if there's nothing happening on the background phone will still discharge noticeably. After the update I followed instructions of optimizing battery for apps and restarted a couple of hours after that. Is there any way I could check what's wrong with my phone. I have always had Magisk and LSPosed and didn't have any issues with April update, pretty sure these issues started after updating to latest version.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] idol2smini:
I have the same Problem. Could you Upload Stock Boot?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] idol2smini:
Hey i Stück in bootloop. I come from Pixel expirience Rom with magisk. I dont have a Laptop now, so i have to Work only with the Phone. The Recovery IS from you. I think ITS because of the boot.img . Could you Upload the Stock Boot please?

Has anyone had problems with the macro camera?

It seems that it doesn't work in any application that uses it.

It simply does not "zoom" the image, it looks like a normal camera.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
Is it working properly on miui camera ? If yes then it's the problem of your application.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
A new update will be released soon with Auto optimisation which is going to fix these battery drain and system lagging issues. Things will get better. Stay tuned

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nage1993:
First of all, thank you for this amazing ROM !

I am using the last crDroid 9.5 , I installed the original camera software from an original backup from version MIUI 12.5.8 but it says the device is not supported, is there a way to make it work?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
The ROM already comes with original MIUI camera from MIUI 12.5

Please don't restore or install anything, use the provided apps in the ROM
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] FynoM:
This rom is flawless. Thank you!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] LWWBR:
Good afternoon,

I don't know how to believe it, lie I know and just go there and donate to support the responsible team.

I came here to thank the team and give feedback on the ROM, my feedback is great because everything is working on the device with just one exception that in relation to connecting to the PC it does not appear but however I will read there if there is something in the bugs and to check.

The appearance is great, battery consumption ok, wifi/3g/4g ok, navigation ok and I no longer have that xiaomi advertisement tatno that kept appearing on the screen and that irritated me a lot because of my type of work.

From the heart guys thank you for making available this custom that this round.

As I use it, I renew the feedback, but everything is fine my friends.

======================

Boa tarde,

Não sei como acredecer, mentira sei sim e apenar eu ir la e fazer um donate para apoiar o time responsavel.

Eu vim aqui agradecer ao time e prestar um feedback sobre a ROM, meu feedback e otimo pois esta funcionadno tudo no aparelho com apenas uma exeção que em relação ao conectar no PC ele não aparece mas contudo eu vou ler ali se tem algo nos bugs e verificar.

O aparecelho esta otimo, consumo de bateria ok, wifi/3g/4g ok, navegação ok e não tenho mais aquele tatno de propaganda da xiaomi que ficava aparecendo na tela e que me irritava muito por conta do meu tipo de trabalho.

De coração galera obrigado por disponibilizar esta custom que esta rodondinha.

A medida que eu for usando eu renovo o feedback, mas de ante estão esta tudo lindo meus amigos.

Good after,

Bluetooth not working, vídeo in attach.

And SMS.

And dual SIM.

Even with dual when making the call it only comes out of SIM 1. As for the sms, it is possible to send but not possible to receive, for example the telegram SMS never arrives.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:

Thank you very much for great rom, all working very well for me
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gibbzy1991:
Working great for me too, haven't done the rom thing since 2016. Biggest benefit has been getting rid of the bloat/adware, customisation and actually keeping apps like 3c battery monitor running instead of killing them like miui global was.

The only thing I miss is how miui handled multi windows/freeform. It was easy to switch an app from fullscreen to floating and back, and the 'shortcuts' for minimising and such (swipe to a corner etc.) were well implemented imo.

Stock freeform doesn't seem to allow switching an app back to fullscreen, tried the dev mode switches on and off too but it just doesn't very usable.

I've done the whole magisk/lsposed/shizuku thing to run mi-freeform, and it is better than stock freeform but seems to open apps in their own 'container' of sorts which doesn't allow switching between fullscreen and floating and has a few other issues.

I'm not sure how miui handled it under the hood but I'm curious, and wonder if there is a better option than mi-freeform to replicate it.

Overall very happy though, all network/nfc/camera etc is working and it feels like a new phone.

Great work!! Finally found a stable ROM for this device. Thanks for making this.

One request:

How can I change accent colors or adapt colors from the wallpaper as I am using pixel launcher. Can we get this feature?

----- Update

Got the support and fixed it from the TG support group.

If anyone using pixel launcher and facing the same issue. Try pasting the following using any terminal app.

Need ROOT!

su -c "settings delete secure theme_customization_overlay_packages"

It's been a while that I have used custom roms in my phone. The last phone in which I used custom roms was redmi 2 prime. Then I bought this redmi note 8 pro aka begonia. And I bought this rn8p on 2019 and was still running on stock miui.

Oh mahn! I really appreciate your support and hard work for this device. Now after unlocking the bl and flashing crdroid ,the phone is crazy fast and the stock Android experience is some feeling that one cannot express in words. The rom is fluid fast and till now there was no hiccups.

I recommend every rn8p user using the 2 year old miui stock rom to feel the taste of this costom rom.

Thank you 👍 so much for making this 4 year old phone feeling new again.

Hope you would continue to support this community.🤍

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
Also could you tell me which dialer you are using ?

The default one that comes with the ROM? Or Google dialer ?

Also which country and sim carrier company?

The above information can help the developer understand the issue better.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Viz@xda:
Was using the stock dialer only and the carrier is Airtel . Country India (Bharath)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
How long do the video calls last ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Viz@xda:
There was no problem with the duration of the calls made. The problem arises when we try to end the call.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
Can you just video call someone and then try to end the call within 5 seconds and see if it ends the call ? Also make sure there are no modifications to the ROM like no magisk or any modules.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Viz@xda:
The rom is not rooted and not using any exposed modules.

I tried calling for 5 seconds and one time the call got ended. And most of the time phone app keeps restarting. I have attached a video of what's happening. Blurred some part.

VIDEO
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DeannWinchester:
Thanks for the video. I've forwarded all the information including the video to the maintainer. It'll be fixed by the next update.

Flash this Zip File in TWRP and let me know if this Fixes the issue the you are facing.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Viz@xda:
So I just dirty flashed the zip file but now the force clossing had stopped. But can't proceed with the video calling.

When I click on the video call option the ui changes to video call screen and my video is shown . But the person at the other end didn't recieve any video call prompt. And I checked vice-versa and found my phone also doesn't prompt for video call, if the person at the other side opt for video call.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Fytdyh:
Before you flashed this rom, were you on a different custom rom or on stock rom? If you previously had installed a different custom rom, it's advised to flash stock rom and afterwards flash this rom. Some battery problems carry between custom roms.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TvT298:
Touch somewhere from Home screen => Home settings => Recents => Clear all.

But it's not recommended that you keep closing app. It will just make open app longer, Android can stop app itself if it need more RAM.
