Hi everybody. I'm taking the official maintainance for Cepheus, the ROM will be available very soon this week.

I want to say HUGE THANKS to Tribual. He's not only a super cool buddy but also he did an excellent job maintaining Spark for Cepheus previously.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] teml:
Congratulations, I hope to add a vanilla version to this ROM, and evolution x also likes it very much. Unfortunately, there is no vanilla version available, so it has not been used.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
I can confirm that both vanilla and gapps-included variants will be released.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] teml:
thank you! Has evolution x considered the vanilla version?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] stevenjtx:
cepheus download page is not accessible
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
Yeah, you're right, it's not available because it hasn't been released yet. That's the why for the 'Coming soon' in the Download section in the first post. Hopefully it will be released tomorrow. I will make a post in this thread.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ibrahim Ashraf:

Thank you! Hard work!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Satit888:
Thank you very much, works very well, no problems yet
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
Thanks for the feedback. :)

I'm looking forward the next update which will bring back many previous features and some new stuff.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MalinKaMp3:
That's a nice looking rom. Thanks! For now I noticed that Smart pixels are not working, while being in Dark theme (black) popup from Audio volume per app is kinda weird looking, missing color on borders and UDFPS is a bit less responsive than in other roms, evolution was pretty fine with UDFPS

how often updates will be performed?

OTA?

Appreciate for your work
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
Thank you very much for the feedback and the report.

Usually the ROM is updated once a month after every security patch. Currently there is not OTA updates, there was in the past and it's something that could happen in the future.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kokbulik:
Thanks for your work, rom looks good. But in one day of use I had 2 freezes.

I look forward to the next build, will kernelSU support be added?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
I'm still thinking about it but probably I'll add support for kernelSU
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Loop2023:
@Chema_F Do you recommend the TWRP-3.7.0_12-0_26Jan2023.img for install ! I want to know if I can use the version for twrp-3.5.2_9-0-cepheus ?​

Does the vanilla version work with Nikgapps?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
No

There are recommended recoveries for a reason. For example, I don't think TWRP 3.5.2_9 supports decryption.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jean20037:
This ROM looks fabulous, I'll try it in the next few days...:)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Thom Harkness:
hi. thank you for your work. this rom works great. I can't find a function so that FOR is available on the off screen, as it is done on other ROMs. now we have to turn on AOD for this. but I would like to disable AOD and be able to unlock the phone without double tapping, just by putting my finger on the screen

Upd. I found that FOD also does not work correctly in AOD mode. the area of the fingerprint scanner should glow very bright green in order to scan the finger, but it glows either with the same brightness as the screen, or does not work at all
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kokbulik:
I have huge battery drain when I have active pocket detection. Over 2% per hour in idle. When I turn off the function everything is normal... 0.5% per hour.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:
Screen- off FOD was not included in the ROM sources for the last version after the QPR2 was merged. Hopefully a new update will come soon with QPR3 merged and including the screen-off FOD. The lead developer has already started to work on it.

About the FOD in AOD, I will check if it's a ROM issue or a fault from my side. Thanks for reporting and sorry for the inconveniences.

Yeah, the pocket mode drains the battery faster but +2% sounds like to much. I'll pay attention to this when I test the next update. Thanks for the feedback.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Chema_F:

Thank you for your hard work. How is the battery consumption? evol was very consuming
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Atrumitos:
Many thanks for the ROM. It works great on my old mi9. Even the camera works consistently, which I wasn't expecting.

Just wanted to report that I ended up installing it using the latest official TWRP for Cepheus. For some reason none of the linked unofficial recoveries could decrypt internal storage and even after formatting and rebooting into recovery mode, I was stuck with the storage being unusable over MTP. The phone had xiaomi.eu 12.5 installed. Not sure if relevant.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] charlio321:
For a few days now it has no longer allowed me to pay with a wallet. It has detected that the rom is modified and can no longer be paid. Is there any solution for this? I love the rest of the rom and I don't want to change it :(

[General Questions and Answers] pranciskus2:
I use LG V20 Android 8.0 and I use boldbeast VOIP call recorder. Can't get it to work on newer Android versions. I think the main problem is that boldbeast works on older magisk versions and they are not supported on newer Android versions. However, I encounter kernel crashes sometimes and probably will not stay on 8.0 because of this reason, dowgrading to 7 I guess would be crazy and still unclear if it'll work reliably. Unfortunately boldbeast works on very very specific configurations. Could someone tell me what device with newer Android version and what app could record VOIP calls, preferably that it could record anything, for example playing music like boldbeast. It's crazy to be stuck on 8.0 only to have this ability. I don't see any issues recording on PC, so I hope there is some solution. Thanks.

Hello XDA people

Today we will be showing you how to enable push notifications while being able to update Push Notifications

before we start, this tutorial is all thanks to @badmania98, so credit goes to him

Let's get started!

Requirements:

A PC, ADB Drivers and platform-tools(they will be linked), Your Huawei phone being updated to the latest EMUI with GMS

Steps:

1. Download ADB Drivers and platform-devices onto your PC with these links:

ADB Drivers: https://adb.clockworkmod.com

platform-devices: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

2. Once downloaded extract platform-devices then open your phone and go to Settings --> About Phone and tap the build number 7 times, you should become a developer

3. Go to developer options on Settings --> System & Updates --> Developer Options, and Enable USB Debugging

4. Again, go to Settings and search for HDB, then enable HDB as well

5. Go to your PC and open CMD as an admin, then write the following "cd (drag and drop the platform-tools extracted folder)" then press enter

6. Plug your phone to your PC, and set it to Transfer Files and this is VERY important, turn on airplane mode(make sure when you plug the phone and press Transfer File, it should ask if you should access RSA Key on your phone, press yes/ok not sure which one of them was it)

7. after that, write the following on CMD through the pc "adb devices" and you should get your device on the CMD, if not you've done something wrong, so redo the steps or message me on telegram and I'll help

8. once done, write the following on CMD "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.gsf"

9. Once you've done that, go to your phone and go to Settings --> Apps --> Apps --> Press the 4 dots on the top right and press Show System Process, then search for Google Account Manager, then go to Storage and clear data

10. Once done, reboot your phone(keeping sure that airplane mode is enabled throughout the process) and after its done rebooting go ahead and disable Airplane Mode

11. Go to the Play Store (Or Aurora store if you have Play Store frozen) and search for "Play Service Info" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weberdo.apps.serviceinfo&hl=en&gl=US, install it and open it, then press on Play Store button and go ahead and update Google Services

If you can't find the app, you can install it from here https://play-services-info.en.uptodown.com/android

And you're done! GMS is fully updated and now you no longer get the Play Certification Error and have Push Notifications working!

If you have questions or things don't work, message my telegram or comment it below

Is there a solution for this?

You can disable also with ADB App Control. It is much easier.

It seemed Hisuite confused the phone and the ADB could not work.

I restarted phone and took extra care to acknowledge the ADB request on the phone solved the problem.

Which step did not work for you?

How can I install the play store on the Chinese rom? I've tried downloading it from APK mirror and it says "Couldn't sign in There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later." I've tried clearing the cache and no help.

Solved! "Google basic services" has to be enabled. It's found in the drop down menu within apps management in settings.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] ou2mame:
I just flashed the stock chinese rom from the global rom. I actually figured it out. There's a setting in the app management tab in the settings where you have to enable google services. I had installed play services, google play store, chrome, etc... Factory reset a few times too. But I was poking around the app management and was looking at system apps to see if something was disabled that I needed and saw "google basic services" as an option and I was able to turn that on, and everything works now. So I hope if anyone else has that issue they come across this thread.

Toggling this on and off seemed to fix an issue for me where I couldn't push the "Sign In" button to log into Google Services on the first Play Store run.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
Yes, it does.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonW434:
It was late at night, I meant to say Amazon Prime. I assume it works but I thought I read on some Chinese roms that Netflix works but Prime Video doesn't. Hopefully I'm wrong, it's annoying if a device has Widevine L1 but some apps still don't work.

Friends, I replaced the globol ROM with the Chinese ROM with ZUI 13, android 11. Then the system was updated via OTA to ZUI 14, android 12. Everything was working perfectly, however, when restarting the tablet, the play store was gone, I tried to install via apk, but it always gave an error. Google services were working, but the Play Store was not. I did a reset and the Google services disappeared, it was on clean ZUI 14. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is there a solution? I would like to use ZUI 14 because of the possibility of using the Lenovo pen. The solution I found to be able to use the tablet was to reinstall ZUI 13.

I recently purchased a Mekede M6 Pro plus 8+256 and have hit a problem. The HDMI Input was working fine when I received the unit, but I had to factory reset it and have since lost the HDMI app that gives access to the HDMI input port. I have been having a back and forth with Mekede for 2 weeks now and they just can't seem to understand the problem, and this HDMI App is not on their website. All I need is the APK to install the app so that I can access the input, and I believe that if someone here has it installed on their unit, there are various methods to produce an APK from an installed app. I'd really appreciate any help that can be given here because Mekede customer support is absolutely useless.

Could you solve this problem? I am in the exact same situation. They sent me the app but it's system app and they didn't include the install script for the system partition. Installing them as apks won't work
