Get back your sound to normal (fix for low sound after may update) STOCK ROM - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi guys, here is a fix for low sound that Xiaomi "fixed" for us.
Magisk module https://www.dropbox.com/s/jvejynqlw5gz0l6/soundfix_test.zip?dl=0

Hi,
Can you tell me if it's working for you (and where is this from)? My phone is not rooted etc., but I can't stand this new poor audio on a pair of high impedance earphones.
Is it installed like a module from zip via recovery?

Install and flash Magisk and then install the module vía Magisk interface.
Magisk Is systemless so it's safe to use.
Cant tell if this module works since i still didnt update may patch but dont be afraid to try. I used this to root and install GoogleCam, no issues so far.
Just remember to follow the instructions before installing new OTAs!!

Thanks for the help! So installing this means no more OTA for me? Because I guess that any other update that comes out will bring back the crappy sound.
BTW is Google Cam a huge improvement?

Yup, you'll need to root and ofc use magisk (because this is magisk module) and you can't do OTAs, but for the sound that our device has, it's worth it.

Magisk does not prevent OTA updates, as long as you know what you are doing.
To wit: 0. disable automatic OTA updates, 1. leave the stock recovery alone (TWRP can be booted into without flashing), 2. make sure to check "systemless hosts" in Magisk Manager if you use AdAway or similar, so that you don't ever write to your actual /system partition, 3. leave your phone oem-unlocked (it's OK, /data is encrypted anyway), 4. when an OTA update is available, follow instructions (can't post a proper URL yet, sorry) at github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md

It won't, that's what "systemless" means.

I'm glad to hear that [emoji4]

I can confirm that it works on my phone also. Thank you very much!

May I ask what files the module touches? Also, what did Xiaomi change in the May update to reduce the volume?
Thanks

You can unpack module and see what is changed.

thanks, but when i enable this module the mi a1 hardware keys backlight doesnt work

Work fine! I love it

When I try to install it via Magisk Manager, it says it's not a magisk module. I don't have custom recovery to preserve OTA, can't it be flashed through magisk somehow?

Can someone confirm if this is working with the last 8.1 update? They improved audio a little bit compared to 8.0 but its nothing compared to the nougat ROM

Viper4Android not woking

hello guys
im using a xperia z5 e6653 on MM 6.0.1 32.2.A.0.253 with open BL, stock firmware and kernel
i am trying to install viper audio mod without success. after flashing the last zip and installing the driver (busybox installed, of course) the driver status tells, that the driver is installed, working, using neon BUT the proccessing is disabled. none of the sound modifications are working.
can anyone tell me why?

Try to disable sony soundenhancement or use viper4android compability mode.
Install SELinux and set it to permissive. A little bit of struggling with it and it will work.
Already tried the permissive mode also used a zip that disables any other mod (it should)
Gesendet von meinem E6653 mit Tapatalk
Well that's weird because it has always been working this way for me. Even right now. Just don't use the latest version of V4A since it doesn't work very well on our phones.
how exactly did you do it?
Install Viper + Drivers. Set kernel to permissive using SE Linux, that's all. I use Viper v2.3.4.0 (FX), Codename "Beautiful". This is the version that's working on our phones with Marshmallow.
Any one got this working in Nougat ? Please share which version its working as I tried a lot and was able to install but I get no sound when its processing.
Thanks

Xiaomi Mi A1 Android 8.0 Oreo FAQ / How to install the latest update for MI A1

Q: I haven't received the lastest security update, how can I get it?
A: Just wait. Updates may take up to two weeks to reach your smartphone.
Edit: there's now an official way to force install updates:
Download and install the latest version of Google Play Services - it's an official signed version, 12.2.17 (448-186052348) (12217448).
Check for updates - you'll receive an update immidiately.
Q: What's the current build number?
A: As of March 1, 2018, the current build is OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.4.0.ODHMIFA Security patch level: February 1, 2018. Kernel version: 3.18.66-perf-g90e3040 [email protected] #1 Mon Feb 26 11:58:45 WIB 2018
Q: Does Picture in picture mode work?
A: It does but only a few apps currently support it: e.g. VLC (it must(!) be enabled first in VLC settings), Google Chrome (for desktop mode), YouTube (YouTube red subscription is required), Google Maps (only in navigation mode) and WhatsApp (during a video call).
Q: What are the known bugs?
A: Check this topic.
Q: Where can I get a firmware image to flash offline (fastboot ROM)?
A: Check this page for updates.
Q: Are there EIS or Camera2API? Has low light camera performance been improved?
A: Sadly, both are still missing and low light camera performance is still horrible.
Q: How can I improve low light camera performance?
A: Root your phone, enable EIS/Camera2API, install Google Camera with HDR+.
Q: Can I use/install Google Camera with HDR+?
A: No. (Yes, if you're willing to root your phone and enable EIS/Camera2API).
Q: I've heard about Quick Charge in Oreo, is it indeed present?
A: No, this has been verified by many people, some of whom used multimeters.
Q: What about the Google Phone (dialer) and Google Messages apps?
A: They are now both stock straight from Google.
Update: The latest version of Google Phone is incompatible with the MI A1 for unknown reasons but it's Google who made this decision.
Q: How can I hide the X mark for mobile networks?
A: You can disable WiFi or you can install a substratum theme, "Hide X".
Q: My favourite app or game crashes under Oreo.
A: Factory reset your phone, install just this game/app - check if it crashes. If it does, contact its developer. If it doesn't then some other app or your settings have broken the app/game.
Q: How can I disable/hide/remove App is running in background notification?
It's a "feature" of Android 8. There are three methods to get rid of this nuisance.

No. If you install Magisk you will be able to receive and install OTA updates. You'll just have to reinstall Magisk after each update.

There is not fully working TWRP for Oreo as of now.
Magisk can be used by flashing patched boot.img, which already contains Magisk or follow a bit complicated TWRP guide.

Oreo changed the encryption scheme, only the latest TWRP version or Oreo system supports it. Nougat system and older TWRP versions will have problems with decryption.

I tried flashing my phone with latest Nougat, both locked and unlocked bootloader. All fine and good, then I updated to Oreo on my partition B. Worked just fine but I cant boot into partition A as the encryption failed.
Not sure what I have to do on my phone.
Has anyone noticed this thing where if we open a slightly darker or dark image, the display boosts up the brightness in the dark areas ? Sort of like the sunlight display on some phones. I tried to record an instance but it doesn't show it clearly.

What are you trying to do? Once you upgrade to Oreo, you can't safely boot Nougat system. Even if data wouldn't be encrypted, many apps would force close due to changes between these systems. If you want to downgrade, factory reset is probably inevitable.

There are still A/B partitions. Could you describe what are you trying to achieve? I simply don't understand why do you try to boot into Nougat once you have successfully upgraded to Oreo.

Anyone figure out installing Netflix from PlayStore after bootloader unlock?

I would like to install Netflix from the PlayStore and have it update from there like other apps. Is this possible after unlocking the bootloader? In case it isn't clear, I don't want to sideload it so please don't suggest that.

Have you done anything other than unlock the bootloader? I'm not on a custom ROM or anything, I just mixed some stock firmware so I could get fingerprint sensor in the US. I also installed a kernel that hides bootloader unlock but in the PlayStore Netflix is listed as not compatible with my device.

Don't worry about that, it's working
I installed the Magisk module 'liboemcrypto disabler' on Android Pie to be able to even see Netflix in the Playstore. Now Netflix works and updates from the Playstore as well. But I can't watch content in HD.
On Oreo Netflix worked in HD and HDR mode, but I had to install a DRM fix to achieve that.

Thank you for the suggestion, but janjan's kernel only has a drm fix for Oreo if I understand correctly. I don't believe there is a DRM fix for Pie available (yet). I also don't think anybody is going to spend the time needed to create one, because now that the camera works, most people don't even notice that a DRM fix is necessary.

I actually love Pie. I removed most of my rooted apps because Pie has functionality built in that I really wanted on Oreo. Like choosing dns servers, dns over https, rotation icon in navigation bar, bluetooth device battery percentage and more things I can't remember. Battery life is good.. phone is stable... My only complaints are that Sony took out some of the things that make Pie more usefull. But besides that I'm happy.

This didn't work for me, still the same issue. I also tried flashing janjan's kernel but it didn't make a difference either and the ctsProfile is still false. Does anyone know if the ctsProfile being false would cause this?
Another thing that I think is separate but strange is that I have Magiskv19.0 installed but the Magisk Manager tells me Magisk is not installed and that v18.1 is the latest version.

I think something went wrong flashing your system. I have magisk installed and ctsProfile: true. I would concentrate on that first. Fixing magisk and ctsProfile will probably fix Netflix as well. Good luck!
Ya, so before I flash the tmobile volte/wifi calling zip or flash my kernel .img the ctsProfile is true and I am able to install Netflix from the play store. As soon as I flash one of those though the ctsProfile check turns to false. I need to flash these though or I'm not able to get VoLTE, WiFi Calling, and without hiding the bootloader unlock with the kernel some of the Sony features don't work.

Worth it to upgrade from Android 10 Sept 2020 to Android 11 right now or wait?

Or wait a couple of months for them to tweak it a bit?
I only run Magik and not Xposed, not that it matters!
I'm not rooted, but I've been running R since the first public ßeta.
It's been the smallest update so far in a long time for Android. Very little has changed, compared to previous major version upgrades.
If you can root (and from what I read i think you can with Magisk), make a full backup and try it.
Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
I don't really know what you'd be waiting for. I don't think a non-rooted person would notice much in terms of drawbacks. Magisk modules level, there were some issues... but I think most things are getting worked out. Xposed technically works, but more than half of my modules broke in a way that probably won't be fixed for a while. I still feel like I'm at a net-negative in terms of phone features. A11 brought little and broke a lot of my QoL tweaks that used Xposed.
I make no claims about SafetyNet as I use no apps that even check it.
I think A11 has been released formally by google and most of issues have been fixed or addressed.
I used magisk and edxposed. That's not a problem for me(I used Edxposed for fingerface only). Regarding of safetynet issue, it also has solution to make it pass by magisk modules and kernel side.
Until now, I'm happy with A11.
I ended up doing a full wipe and upgrade to Android 11 Oct 2020.
I have Magisk running with the SQL Lite mods for Google Pay and obviously I have root so I'm basically back where I was on Android 10.
I hadn't use Xposed yet and I don't know if I will yet. I was using Viper Audio mod but I don't know if I noticed a major difference, mostly I just stream bluetooth in my SUV.
So far, so good.
I tried it and reverted back to 10 - as mentioned didn't gain much but broke a lot. Even in stock form I can't get videos to load a subtitle file because of storage permissions and what not. A tweaked out install of 10 is faaaar nicer imo so that's what I'm running, probably until a new phone comes out sadly.

can i ask how you upgraded to A11? Im on 10 rooted with magisk and keep hearing mixed messages on upgrading. And is it necessary to wipe? I really don't want to.
A11 is not too bad, but as others have said little things here and there that break. Like for me I listen to SiriusXM app on mobile and for some odd reason it will stop playing all of a sudden and close. It's like the aggressive memory management kills the app for no reason. I even have battery optimization turned off and still does it.
Thinking about moving back to A10 from August, not really much I have to have to stick with latest A11 updates.

Ok so I shouldn't install it via the ota? I keep getting the pop up to update every day.
Does using Magisk to dl / install the OTA, then patch the non-live and newly flashed partition, then finally rebooting not work?
When I was rooted that was always the easiest way.
And based upon the post 2 above this one, Magisk now supports A11 without ẞeta, right?

Question Solved - C.44 update won't install after magisk boot

Hi guys,
Sorry if I'm missing something very obvious but I can't install the latest update on my rooted oneplus 9
I have a LE2110 model, currently on 11.2.10.10..LE25BA. I'm rooted with magisk, confirmed with root checker.
I've downloaded the C44 update, went to updater, install from storage, then to magisk where I disable all my modules and select install to inactive slot, 'lets go' and 'reboot'.
The phone reboots and displays a message saying that the update did not install try again or try reapir.
Anyone know if I'm missing anything in the process? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers everyone
Edit: Thanks for all the responses..using canary magisk instead has worked.

You have to fastboot flash the stock untouched boot.img back. Magisk patched the boot partition to root. Therefore the partition is modified. Ota fails. Try uninstall Magisk and see if it restores stock boot image. Or get full build run payload him through payload extractor and nab boot.img there.
Thanks, so I basically need to unroot, restore to stock, update to C44, then reroot from scratch again?

yes it is true but you did the manual way. every one else wants the automatic way which requires canary or alpha.

Everyone does want bleeding edge.
Thanks for all the info guys, sounds like a bit more reading needed on my end but all of the above should steer me in the right direction.
I was able to jump from rooted 11.10.10 to c44 using canary magisk.
Downloaded the 4gb c44 from oxygen updater, then local udpate and DONT reboot then install magisk in inactive slot.
Ok, this has worked, original posted uodated, thanks everyone.
One last question...and slightly unrelated. I can't find my list of hidden apps in magisk. I've hidden the app in settings and have the magisk hideprops config module enabled. My banking app is telling me I'm rooted...I'm pretty sure I added it to a list in the past. None of the options at the bottom bring me to it either..anyone have the same issue?

the alpha build doesnt have magisk hide built in. and he literally just posted the updated v24 stable build an hour ago and is supposed to fully support android 12. but he also announced that he removed Magisk hide all together and is no longer going to support it.
so its still early, not sure how to fix your problem , those are the only two builds i see for 12

Ok, thanks. Could a rollback to v23 APK work? Happy to give it a whirl unless you think it could bork my phone

i would try and delete the version you have and install stable 23, dont repack the boot.img or anything only replace the app, that wont hurt you

No dice, v23 will install and the option is available in settings, I just still can't find where I add an app to the hidden list. Bank apps not loading.
Magisk is dropping support for hiding root access from apps
Magisk, the popular Android rooting tool, will continue to be developed by topjohnwu, but without its root hiding feature called MagiskHide.

Have you tried using USNF? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-module-universal-safetynet-fix-1-1-0.4217823/
I'm also having troubles updating to c44 with magisk v23, but don't wanna lose the magisk hide option. While looking for alternatives, I came across this the USNF solution in here :
How to pass SafetyNet on Android after rooting or installing a custom ROM
It is possible to pass SafetyNet, even after extensive modding like rooting or installing a custom ROM. Check out how to do that here!
www.xda-developers.com
Didn't try it myself yet...
I can confirm USNF works for me, and I have some very strict apps detecting root access, DenyList hides the root from the apps, but it doesn't try to fix safetynet, with USNF I have no more problems even in apps that didn't work with DenyList only (remember to turn on Zygisk and Enforced DenyList).
If you are using permissive mode on SELinux you will also need SELinux switch to get back to enforcing mode for some apps, but that is an edge case
EDIT: It seems if you are on custom ROM MagiskHidePropsConf might help, not sure if USNF is enough but I can't test it
