Android Auto issues on Poco F1 Custom Roms - Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion

On all custom Roms I've tried so far (and they've been a few), there's an ongoing problem while using Android Auto connected to the car's built-in display. Basically, if you plug in your phone and start using AA, after a while the bottom bar on the car's display will disappear, and although you can keep driving and AA will keep working, once you stop and unplug the phone from the car, the phone will lock you out and it's screen will start to flicker and go crazy, giving you no other option but to force reboot the phone.
This issue was present on MIUI Oreo roms as well, but since they updated to Pie last month, it was addressed and a fix was found (seems it was related to the devices default display drivers). For custom Roms, there's a temporary workaround, which is to disable hardware overlays in developer settings, but you need to do this every time you reboot your phone since these settings don't stick permanently.
I've posted and mentioned this issue on several different custom ROM threads, but as far as I know, none of the devs has acknowledged the issue nor has tried to find a solution. So, the question is; how many of you have the same problem?
Please provide your feedback, as it would be good to let the devs know this is not unimportant or isolated.

On which MIUI Version are you having that problem?
Which car display with which software version are you using?
For me with MIUI 8.12.27 weekly EU version and Skoda Bolero display I'm not having the issue you describe.

You wrote on Oreo stock ROM it was present to.

Yes, and it was (plenty of comments on MIUI forums and over the net, if you want to take a look...) They fixed it on Pie, and if you're still running Oreo and don't have issues, then I guess they fixed it there, too.
This poll, topic and thread is for the issues still affecting Aosp based custom roms, such as Crdroid, PE, Lineage, etc.

Even I would like to know the result of this poll. I am on the verge of trying out a custom ROM (since i am done with the bugs in MIUI). But if AA doesn't work on custom ROM, it is a showstopper for me.

Hi,
I have a different issue with Android Auto.
My problem is that when I connect to Android Auto, after a couple of minutes (1-2, 2-3 minutes) the screen on the car's display seems to be stuck, and from then on it doesn't follow my progress on the way. The screen itself is not frozen, because e.g. I can make a reroute but after it is done it goes back to the "original" state of my route when it stopped progressing. The screen remains responsive regarding the controls because I can even change to Google Maps on the car's AA display, and it works flawlessly.
Anyone else had this issue?
I'm using xiaomi.eu rom 9.1.17 beta

I'm currently on Crdroid, and in my opinion it's the one that works best. As for the AA issue, it's present on all custom roms, but for the time being, I'm using the workaround I mentioned on OP and can use AA fully.

Strange, I tried an EU rom about a couple of weeks ago for a few days and AA worked out of the box. Didn't like the MIUI stuff, though, so reverted back to Crdroid.
I however remember I flashed the full MIUI rom completely, wiping everything and starting from scratch, so if you want to stick with MIUI, maybe you should do a fresh install...

Update: you can automate disabling the hardware overlays using Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin

Thanks, I had read you could use tasker for that, but it's a paid app and I wouldn't be using it for anything else at the moment. I'm fine with remembering to disable it manually. Still, I believe the issue has to be addressed at some point by the devs...

One General question:
The only thing keeping me away from custom roms is the AA issue. Nice to hear that at least we have a workaround.
At the moment i am on MIUI Android pie and using a VW in build AA Display. The issue i'm having is that WhatsApp notifications are not shown on the Display. I can send WhatsApp Messages via Ok Google but not able to hear received messages.
Do you guys have the same issue?

Wouldn't be able to confirm that, although I did read somewhere that if you're using any Dual apps on MIUI, AA won't work correctly. Are you using two WhatsApp accounts by any chance...?
I can tell you though that on the current rom I'm using (crdroid), they do work and appear on the cars screen, although most of the time there's no notification ringtone whenever they arrive. Since that was happening on my previous phones too, be it on nougat, oreo and pie, I guess that's a problem with AA itself...

Thanks for your quick reply.
Happy to hear that it is generally working.
Not using dual Apps. Will try to flash a custom Rom in the next days

Works for me and others as well, although someone did mention on another thread he couldn't get this workaround to work either...
This is my setup:
USB debugging on and hardware overlays disabled.
In AA developer options, enable 720, 1080, unknown sources.
If it still won't work, then Im guessing it could maybe be due to different screen panels or something...

[APP] Oxygen Slider

Hi,
This Xposed module allows you to customize the alert slider's behavior in OxygenOS.
A while back, OnePlus decided to merge the framework of OxygenOS with HydrogenOS which rendered my similar application (Notification Slider) useless, at least in my opinion. The drastic internal changes made it impossible to reach the same level of customizability as before, and since the source code wasn't updated properly to reflect those changes, I sadly gave up on OxygenOS support.
Now, almost a year later I've returned to OnePlus and decided to give it another shot.
After a month of fun, but challenging work, this is the result.
Feel free to send me feature requests, or bug reports, via the Contact feature in the Info section of the app.

Haven't tested it on Oreo yet, will do so as soon as the stable OOS update arrives on the 5T. Anyway, have you made sure that the Xposed status is active, and that the module has been properly activated (and rebooted once)?
Not working on OP5T OOS 4.7.6 stock android 7.1.1. Module has been successfully loaded, but moving the slider doesn't do anything. Absolutely nothing happens, not even the original actions work.

The same thing happens here too. Nothing happens when I move the slider after installing the Module and rebooting. I'm using a OP3 and the latest Open Beta still based on Nougat. I know Open Betas are not supported but I thought I'd try anyway.
Haven't tried this yet on Oreo Beta 2 but will certainly be keeping an eye on this, thank you!
Hello sevelith,
Really appreciate the effort your taking.
I have installed the app and activated the module in xposed but unfortunately nothing happens even after rebooting to apply changes.Even the default slider actions don't work.

Update : Now it's working!thanks my friend .
But just a small question/request
If we set to flashlight(on) on top slider position and return to middle position it doesn't turn off(unless selecting flashlight to off for middle position,is there something u can do about it to turn off automatically when changing the slider position ?
And thank you for your work have been waiting for this a long time.
Id like to donate to you for this wonderful work,How can I donate to you my friend ?

As for your request, I guess I could implement an option that allows you to select which profiles that should automatically be disabled on slider changes.
You could either use the donation button next to my avatar, or use the built-in Donation menu option. Thank you very much!

If you could do something like that it would be nice and everyone would love it I think.
And oops I dint notice the donate option in the app,,will do gladly
I tried the fix apk on 5t with Orea Beta 2
Everything works so good (just if you remeber to reboot after every change of slider function.
Thanks a lot

Can you please tell me the steps of how you got this too work? I can't seem to find Xposed for 5t and the fix apk won't install :crying:
I am on Beta 2, rooted with Magiks.
When I get my 5T shall be coming back to this thread
Works on rooted OP5T with Oreo open beta 2.
Thank you very much. A long awaited feature
Worked on my 3T running Open Beta 15, but caused instability. I couldn't open Xposed or use Nova Launcher, so I had to delete the app.
I'm planning on updating to Oreo soon, so maybe that'll solve my stability issue. Also, I second an option to disable flashlight after changing slider position. The off screen gesture is still faster, but only if you draw it accurately. That's why I wanted to use the slider. If it doesn't turn off when you change positions, then you have to use the gesture or tap the quick setting anyway which defeats the purpose.
Other than that, it's great. This is one thing I've needed most on my 3T and not had.
Hey @Seveilith
So tried you app on OnePlus 5 running Open Beta 4 android 8.0.
App was working fine but there was this one problem:
1. On Silent(vibrate), the phone was completely on silent. Tried calling from other phone no vibration.
2. On Silent, the phone vibrated when a call came.
Have not tested this for notifications, but this happens during a call.
Thanks a lot @Seveilith for the come back of this once beloved app!
I'd like to know if there is a profile where sound can be customized (using tasker or another automation app or even the volume buttons) from vibrate to ring. Or is the OOS limitation on sound (forced on or off dependig on the chosen profile) can't be overcome?

I've noticed the issue on OxygenOS v4.7.6 as well, at least when transitioning from Silent to Silent (Vibrate). I'm currently working on a fix, and hopefully it will work on the Oreo builds as well (haven't taken a look at the Oreo source code yet).

Unfortunately, this is the result of the volume restrictions of OxygenOS. I havent decided yet, but I plan on implementing a new feature, or a standalone Xposed module, that unlocks these restrictions (e.g. by making it possible to change the ringer mode using the volume buttons).

Horizont Light not getting to work

I am coming from a Xiaomi Mi 9 and actually I am missing the notification LED!
Not sure whether it is a general issue of Android 10 on our device or based on a lack of knowlege on my end.
I think I set up everything propperly, but neither Horizont Light nor any 3rd party app is indicating anything.
I tried to solve this issue by reading some threads on XDA already -therefore I am quite convieneced that settings are ok- but still notification light is broken.
Maybe there is any Custom-ROM with a nice solution...
pls. advice!
THX!

Jep...fresh out of the box -not rooted or unlocked yet!- Android 10 got installed.
Sure , well aware that it is beta, therefore I am asking whether it is a general issue at present, fingers crossed, that it will be solved latest with the stable version.
I did a quick and dirty install of Android 10.0.2 over 9.5.13 -and- I go no Horizon Lights to the notification.
Cleared the data and cache of the Ambient Display and no change.
I miss the notification blick i had on my Pixel.
.
Does NotifyBuddy work ? - The OP has not been updated in 6 months, which leads to to think that it does not work on Android 10.
Does a Play Store app work ? I saw one on the store and then a user said it did not for OnePlus...

I could be wrong, but I thought the horizontal lights were only working for sms messages. I stand to be corrected on thay.
NotifyBuddy works but you lose the ability to activate Google assistant by saying "ok Google".

Did you fix this issue/find yourself a solution? I know it has been a while since you posted this but the Renovate Ice rom has settings for the ambient display horizontal lighting and you can change the colors as well has how many times it pulse's.
I'm looking for a solution as well. I'm stock rooted on 10.0.2, and I've yet to see that light come on. And if it does, since it only comes on briefly, I don't see it. I may have to try that Renovate Ice ROM to get multiple notifications.

ON 10.0.2 the horizontal notifications were not working for my either, but they worked with Renovate.
I installed pulse beat and put the right settings, i think, but it only pulses once and quickly.
What should the settings be, for those that got it to work?

Always on display don't obey scheme MIUI 12, Global V12.0.1.0.QFDMIXM

Just updated to latest MIUI 12 Global V12.0.1.0.QFDMIXM.
Anyone else beside me who have problems with the always on display being on all the day round, even though it's set to be on just between different times of the day?
Worked before the upgrade. Tried setting the settings on and off a few times to see if they "stick"
Yeap it is the last update of the app that is buggy.
Just go to your apps. find the AOD app and uninstall the updates. Then it should be ok again. Just dont update it again from the settings.
Or if you want a newer version just pick one from here:

The Last from June should be ok (one of the July is the buggy one, dont remember which)

Wasn't aware of this, downgraded to version from June 30th and the schedule of AOD works again! Apparently not related to MIUI 12 then. Will try the new update later.
How did you learn about this? Is there an AOD MIUI updates and bugs thread somewhere?
I found it out myself...
Some miui systemapps (aod, recorder, launcher etc) are not beeing updated with the os. That is why its a different section in the settings.
If it just has been updated (only the app not the os) and you find an error its propably the new update...
has anyone found a real solution for this? except rolling back?

Nope, issue still persists for me too. Always on display have seen releases with upgrades many times since then, always with the changelog saying "fixing problems" (LOL), but this massive bug still haven't been fixed.
Really bad of xiaomi first breaking this and also not fixing it, would be discovered directly for every serious software maintainer after this long time. But a China phone is a China phone, even when it's really expensive.
Too bad the cameras are so great. For my use cases, there still haven't released any newer phones in the same price class with this versatile and good cameras. I'm probably not going back to xiaomi after the mi note 10 because of this and many other software issues, but who knows. With this rate I'll live with the mi note 10 for another five years lol

Interesting. Tried updating to latest release of AOD which for me seems to be 24th of November, and played around with the timing settings again, and also for digital wellbeeing. Still can't get AOD to disable though =/ downgrade to release from last summer still restores the functionality
Schedule the miui battery saving app's standard battery saving mode, and inside the ordinary battery saver mode activate "disable always on display" works as a workaround for me. But then all the other things the battery saver does also activates during the schedule (like stop app sync and lots of other things)
After updating the AOD app got updated and i cant roll back... Ant it still is not working. AOD never shuts down...
Now on Global EEA Rom instead of Global. AOD problems persists on that regions latest official ROM ( V12.1.3.0.RFDEUXM ). The old fix from above doesn't work anymore - a more recent version of the AOD system app is included in the rom so the "upgrade" to an older upgrade compared to the old roms doesn't work anymore.
Interestingly there is also a new setting for the AOD in MIUI 12 on this rom, besides Always on and Schedule (which don't work), there is also a "on for 10 seconds after you touch your device"-setting for the AOD. But naturally, when that's activated the AOD also stays on indefinitly.
The only "fix" atm is to use the battery saver function on schedule, the battery saver disables the AOD. Unfortunately the MIUI battery saver does a few other things at the same time =(
Possible solution: for other reasons I've had the "MIUI optimizations" disabled in the OS developer settings. Activating MIUI optimizations solves both the 10 seconds setting and the scheme on V12.1.3.0.RFDEUXM

Doesn't work on EU ROM (there's no MIUI optimisation in developer optitions?)

It is hidden now, yes. But you can get it back. Go into developer options, scroll down and find "Reset to default values". It has to be pressed 5-7 times I think and then "Turn on MIUI optiomisation" and "Notify about high-risk features" are revealed below.
I'm on the same boat and I really would like to crash the head of that idiot who engineered this trash phone.
Phone in the pocket and I miss all informations and NOTHING is displayed on the locked screen.
The cell phones were invented to facilitate communication but Xiaomi & Poco's idiot engineers invented the way on how to trash brand new phones!
Excuse me for the rant but I'm really angry because I'm losing communication with other people since I bought this trash toy.
The phone: it's the EU version but since latest update it says "Global version MIUI 12.0.10" and this is one of the confusing things about these misleading poor companies.
I installed the APK suggested above but nothing changed.
There is NO option in the settings about always on display even so looking online people show this setting on the MIUI 12!!!
I may not receive MMS messages anymore (I never had any problem before with other phones) since I bought this Xiaomi trash electronic toy, the wi-fi signal is weak and the is NO communication on the locked screen!!!
I tried to reach both Xiaomi and Poco in many different ways but they NEVER replayed!
Surfing on Xiaomi global and Poco forums it's a waste of time!
I found good information on the Xiaomi EU forum, some other people complained about the MMS issue, BUT I encountered a create a new login problem since the forum doesn't accept my e-mail.
There is NO way to contact anyone from the forum so I'm cut out of any support!!!
What the stupid companies are these Xiaomi & Poco!!!!!!

Do notifications work with screen off or not?

Hi all. In this Video the reviewer states that he isn't getting any notifications with the screen off. Also it is a problem for one of our members. Is anyone else having these hassles? Do you get incoming text, email AUDIO notifications without waking the phone?
Hi
I have no issue with notification at all..
Even when screen is off ..
U do have to active notification from each app setting and alow all permissins...
Also keep in maind to keep app running remove battery restriction from app setting also..
All will work normal
Working for me but I did need to grant WhatsApp and Trurcaller lots of permissions.
I even got True Edge installed for a visual way to get notified and that works brilliantly with the device asleep with screen off.
I was a bit surprised at the extra level of permissions needed. It's all gravy now, but I could see why a reviewer or somebody unaware would get caught out
But yes, I am getting notifications with the screen off in sound and visually, without having to wake the phone.
Indeed at first I wasn't getting any notifications but then I discovered you need to go into the app info and give permission for notifications and turn off battery saver.. now it works perfect and only for the apps I want
The video the OP posted is exactly whats happening to me. I have all the settings as described. Battery saver turned off and even when into each apps settings and allowed ALL permissions just to see if it would work. As the video says, notifications come, but you have to wake the device to see them, there is no sound or anything on screen until the device is woke. Exactly as the video describes. I do hope its fixed soon, I am back to using my Note 5 whilst my beautiful 10 Ultra sits in its box.

Have you undone your earlier modifications to the phone (copying files from phone to phone etc)?
You have two problems and the one to ignore for now is louder notifications. It's notifications at all.
It isn't something to fix from Xiaomi's view and it is always worth learning the software. I don't like it myself... It can be cloying etc.
But the default behaviour is to opt in to notifications. It's working as intended. That said look where we are, it's just your problems are a special case. No biggie, let's fix this!
You have an outstanding issue clouding this where you are trying to use unexplained files on the device (like seriously what format are they? Does it work in Music or anything? Have you tried removing them?)
Took a while but I get all my notifications now when screen is off, see 2vattached screen shots
Thanks all for answering my question! I think this is my last question before buying from Liaow.com, if the syncing isn't a constant problem. Does anyone have a major syncing problem as explained in this review? Once or twice a day I can deal with. I check the calendar throughout the day like most people. However if I get busy and forget, missing calendar events/alarms wouldn't work for me. I'd be forced to use my work iPhone<shudder> for calendar events lol.

How did you get the icons to show on the lock screen?
Mine doesn't. Quite annoying.
Also sometimes the lockscreen doesn't show me notifications even tho they are there.. :s
I have no issues with icons displaying while locked. You do need to enable them and ensure they start automatically and power control is turned off for the app. It has been much easier in the EU ROM for some reason.
Solution!
Here is the thing that helped me with the same notification issue! Just google "xiaomi mi 10 ultra notifications" and in the top 5 links you'll probably find an article from: theunpopulartraveller. It explains the settings, and they need to be accessed by pressing and holding the app icon ^ app info.
Don't give up, try and you'll get the sounds from needed apps back. And ye, actually now I find the way Xiaomi did it much more convenient: I just turned on notifications for 2 apps, and all the rest are silent, while previously I had to turn off all the rest of the apps (much more than 2, definitely) not to get disturbed by all the bull****.
EU Rom doesn't have the "importance" option at 30/31
Well after trying to update to 12.1.1 and seeing what a buggy heap of junk it was, I factory reset, installed 12.0.15, and formatted data. But now notifications don't work when the screen is off whatsoever, absolutely no notifications. Beautiful. I'm so sick of the software issues with this phone, I'm definitely never buying another Xiaomi phone at this point.

Disable adaptive notifications from setting. I dont know what google thinking when creating such feature.
it basically interrupt the whole notification process. Using so called Ai to decide, when to give you notifications or when not to. But most of the time it pick wrong decision and delay our notification altogether.
This is android feature since Q thus also causing problem on Pixel phone. On xiaomi seems like it suddenly got worse on Android 11

How did u manage to roll back to 12.0.15?
Get over to the EU ROM version. Lock screen notifications work fine.
Have you checked each notification that it has no battery optimisation set, also, check in notifications that each one has access to the lock screen. Since A11, notifications have been a pain but for some reason they do work much better on the EU ROM.

There are issues for Gpay and some banking / local safetynet apps for EU ROM which i do not wish to live with.
Somehow the props file in the eu rom causes those issues.
i am probably going to rollback to 12.0.15... now is the excruciating 160 hours wait for unlock.
You obviously don't follow the EU forums. GPay works, safeynet works and my UK bank works. But you also get everything plus more than the Chinese stock and all updates are based on both weekly and stable stock ROMs respectively.

i don't follow it to the tee, but i've seen some reports of some users not able to use gpay out of the stable roms.
that's why.. too much trouble.. i'll see what i can do when the unlock timer is up..

My phone's stock firmware broke my power button

Hello everyone. I would like to know if anyone experienced this, and if anyone has a solution (or at least an idea why).
The power button of my Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) (SM-A750G) phone does not work at unlocking the screen (if it works in the rest of the functions such as opening the shutdown menu, entering recovery, etc.) when I am using stock firmware, but it works perfectly when using a GSI or any other custom OS.
Do you have any idea what could happen? It should be noted that this happened to me when my phone had the stock firmware and I had never modified my equipment at all... It just happened suddenly and for that reason I switched to a GSI. But now I would like to use the stock firmware, but I will not be able to do it with this "bug".
Thanks 4 the help
You mean unlocking or just turning the screen on an unlocked phone?
The app DoubleTap does away with using any buttons to turn the screen on/off. Simply 2x tap it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_oD7zX7-SMMvesAWsh5_ADA

That's strange. Have you tried remapping the button? Are there options to do so in settings?
Possibly another 3rd party apk remapped without you being aware of it?
I been using this app for over a year. To spite the ad warnings, it has none. Uses almost zero battery, never connects with the internet and is rock solid stable. Saves button life just keep the screen pointed away from your flesh when in your pocket to avoid accidentally taps.
Note: I never gave it administrator privileges as I never use a lock screen. So not sure about its behavior in that mode of operation.

I tried the app a few moments ago and it seems to work fine, the flesh thing is apparently configurable (assign the volume key, which is the most similar).
Regarding the mapping or 3rd party apks using the button, I see it almost impossible, not only because I don't use any app of this type (that reassigns keys) but in completely clean installations of stock firmware this happens to me (and I don't have any option key remapping that I know of).
It's very weird, at least for me. Because not only does it "break" to unlock, but it is only with stock firmware and even if I change the kernel (I tried using the quantum kernel) the key does not work when turning on the screen. But with the GSI it works without problems.
I even googled questions related to Always in display, power or something similar and nothing, there seems to be no conflicts.

Make sure there's no remapping options for it in settings. If so it may be buried or under accessibility options... I've seen hidden Sammy drop down menus with no indication they are there until you double tap the top label. Swell.
Or simply bypass and double tap it!

hehe, if it is true that there are really hidden things XD
Anyway, I am testing this app and if I see that it works I will be encouraged to install the stock firmware and by the way I will try to dig deep into the configuration in search of an option that I have overlooked

Update:
I have installed the stock firmware and used the app you recommended, but no results: / The same thing keeps happening.
I have checked the accessibility options and there is nothing blocking the button :O

You enabled the appropriate buttons in it's settings?
I'm running Pie; it may not be compatible with 10 and up because of the overlay crap.

Personally, the one that I liked the most (and the one that works best) is the Google official (Android 10): https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases But one problem is that it is very outdated.
Anyway, here is a list of some GSIs that you can check and test which one works on your device: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
And here is a tutorial that worked well for me to install GSI: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-workings-gsi-best-treble-gsi-roms-for-a7-2018.4069121/

Thanks! I'll try that
EXACTLY same problem here. I will not repet your words, I'll just say you described EXACTLY what is happening with my phone, a Galaxy A7 2018 (128GB RAM, Brazilian model - A750G/DS).
I can confirm that:
1 - Problem of screen never turning on after being turned off for the first time happens at all stock ROMs. Tried at android 10, downgraded to 9, couldn't downgrade to 8 because odin would not write the image, but the problem persisted on ALL stock ROMs up untill now.
2 - Problem DOES NOT happen at the TWRP recovery. Flashed TWRP just now, so I can flash a GSI, and I can turn the screen on or off as many times as I wish at TWRP screen, without any problem.
These informations corroborate, almost without a shadow of doubt, the idea that this is actually a software problem, not a hardware one. I'm gonna flash the google 10 GSI now, with quantum kernel V3 (seems to be a requirement, I would like to make as litle changes as possible) and post the results.
