So
Is this the final, final one? And, that new kernel that popped up in this section, shall I give that a go? I tried it with a Pie back up and that went into a real tight loop of maybe 2 seconds in between boots.
Anyway, thanks. I don't think I'll be doing the upgrade next week and this project is better than what I'd get, AND just saves time adding in extras.. No reason to pretty much downgrade (in my eyes) with the official. Hope that screen freeze gets worked out eventually so I can stop talking to my phone like a puppy when it boots.
k I see you added the kernel. No freezing on boot. Did a couple reboots but nothing weird.. Just got a nice Samsung logo display here and... yup. Welcome screen. Here we go.
Alright! Great work with the ROM and kernel addition. Still getting a bit of the freezes but not even close to as bad as it was a week ago. And if it freezes, it doesn't do it as the S or SA of Samsung starts. A little more crash friendly for the eyes. Really trying to like this update... but when you see the attached images it's almost like someone wants you to hate it. Once that panel fills out the screen there's 2 swipes to put it back, if you want to swipe. Speaking of progress, the stock weather app is coloured like you're not supposed to look at it.

lol there's still a long way to go with this rom, this isnt final
the only way the screen freeze will get worked out is we wait for official pie to come out for a530w and see lol
ye i kinda hate the fact that it fills up the screen and how it wastes space, but you get used to it, the thing i hate the most is the brightness slider location, its the very bottom and i prefer it to be on the top

Yeah what's up with that? I am wondering if there's something bigger in the making because it seems like this is not a complete OS.
Reminds me of getting a new Playstation and EA Sports makes hockey suck again and each year adds in the things they already had from the beginning so you buy it each year. But not with 2 thousand dollar price tags.
No matter what phone, i will not be on an unaltered OS for a while. I got a friend of mine to upgrade one of her S9+ phones and it kinda works for the bigger screen but still crud. Crud on speed. Keep on cookin'!

Battery life good, I think this rom smoother than the stock. Maybe you can add more custom content like that ringtones. Can you add tweak to change screen resolution like in the samsung flagship phone too? To preserve battery life. Great rom it is my daily driver. :good:

yep oneui literally was only here for like idk 3 months so it still needs some improvement

Slightly. The latest, or the one i downloaded last night hasn't had any freezes/reboots yet. Haven't cut out any apps yet but installed a few Magisk modules and usually would have had an issue at boot by now.
The brightness slider can be applied up top but it's bulky... of course.

Samsung released a buggy Android pie update so until they fix it all pie will have issues.

Yeah i haven't tried any video yet but i am prepared for that to freeze and this is an excellent version as far as an unfinished ROM goes. I didn't flash the module to maintain bluetooth in my vehicle either as of yet, but once again that functions flawlessly if i just accept the pop-up when starting my car. Not a major concern. What's vastly improved and most important is when re-booting it will not freeze at the Samsung logo if installing a module or for any reason... as of yet and hopefully always. Going to purge some apps now and let you know how that goes. Also, for anyone that wants, you can add camera shutter toggle, call recording and remove the security menu from the battery health section (not an uninstall but just omitted).

Here's the 3 entries for the cscfeature.xml described above that are working: I am getting spaces when i post so make sure to fix it.
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
<CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>TRUE</CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>
Most of you probably have them already but it's easier copying and pasting if you don't Be careful as there is a space in the code for some reason.
Also, not really anything required, but you can have a data on your power off menu and take out the auto-spacing in your dial pad entry. These should already be there and only require changing "FALSE" to "TRUE"
<CscFeature_Common_DisablePhoneNumberFormatting>TRUE</CscFeature_Common_DisablePhoneNumberFormatting>
<CscFeature_Framework_SupportDataModeSwitchGlobalAction>TRUE</CscFeature_Framework_SupportDataModeSwitchGlobalAction>
Nothing new, but working if you want them. Still trying to get blank texta but I think it's not able to be tweaked anymore. Not from the mentioned file.

[NIGHTLY] Cyanogenmod 6 (Froyo) for vendor Bravo (HTC DESIRE)

[highlight]Mod Edit: This thread has been closed as per the OP's request. Please refer to the last post of this thread for more information.[/highlight]
http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/nightly/bravo
Those above are nightly build from cyanogenmod bravo vendor, codename for our dear HTC Desire
Starting from 08/07/2010, CM6 for Desire is built against latest RADIO features, so please don't report bugs / issue here, neither in Cyanogenmod's forum, if you are still using an obsolete RADIO package.
Newest official radio package ( 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 ) is recommended.
* For Orange users: using latest RADIO can cause your device to became SIM-locked again, beware. Go unlocking your device or stay with obsolete radios, that's your choice. *
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps from his roms, but you can find Google ****s HERE.
Flash this package on the recovery after flashing the ROM, and you will get these applications / services.
Dalvik suggested heap is 24 Mb, please revert it to 24 if different and reboot, 32 causes issues with some apps.
What it is working good:
3D works (tested with Google Earth, NP)
No white noise and echo
Adobe Flash is available in market & working, test done with http://m.flash.com
Latest SuperUser APP + Root is present, perfectly working (tested with "su" inside Terminal emulator)
Chrome to Phone (if not on Market, check HERE)
Exchange administrator features
Cyanogenmod Enhancement / Settings:
Froyo a2sd setting, force application to SD / Internal mem / manually move
Modify Aptic feedback
Player control during lock screen
Trackball / Menu Wake / unlock
Render effect with color calibration
Fully customizable levels for brightness / autobrightness
Status bar / Notify bar colours customization
90 / 180 / 270 rotation
Fully manual settings for audio attenuation when call is received
"Tap to focus" feature in Photo Application (Sense-like)
Bug tested by me, with cm_bravo-08242010-005229.zip, after a complete wipe:
Goggles FC
Video Camcorder FC
Gallery 3D is oversaturated, and too much contrast! Red color is killing my eyes!
Gallery 3D have some "ghost" empty spaces between folders, and it FC sometimes after a new wallpaper is set (usually in landscape mode)
YouTube HD Videos and MP4 have purple bar FIXED with latest radio
autobrightness works, but it doesn't scale brightness down until screen is turned off fixed with latest builds, use "light attenuation" inside CM Settings, User Interface, brightness settings
Buttons backlight not working
No Facebook Sync flash latest google parts or just update from the market
Twitter sync actually appears under "Accounts & Sync", but there is an error with syncing your contacts with Twitter status & pictures
No LED notifications
Tested from users on XDA:
white noise, echo during call
Trackpad occasionally dies (can you check, when your trackpad is dead, if your headset works? )
Bluetooth A2DP issues (stereo headset, car kit, ... ) (should be resolved with nightly > 28/07, please check
VPN issues
"java.io.IOException: Permission denied" in logcat when trying to export colors to XML in CyanogenMod settings
Screenshots
TO BE UPDATED
Other addictions:
- Black bar / notify bar, no flashing required. Just place it in the root folder of your micro SD, apply from Cyanogenmod Settings / User Interface / Extra modifications / Import from XML, and reboot. Just get the XML HERE
- Custom backup for A2SD (so you don't have to flash it on every nightly): HERE
- Re-adding Launcher 2: HERE
- Segoe Windows Phone N Fonts: HERE
- iPhone4 look-alike Fonts: HERE
- hosts update 15 July for removing ads / banners: HERE
FINAL ADDENDUM:
- A2SD, flash THIS just after ROM. Download some info application, check free space. Run:
Code:
su
a2sd install
In Terminal emulator.
After reboot, check free space.
Install some app: space shouldn't decrease very fast.
If it decrease a lot, something is not working.
Run:
Code:
su
a2sd check
for checking which is the matter.
Usually
Code:
su
a2sd repair
will be able to repair an old A2SD installation, and
Code:
su
a2sd cachesd
will force the dalvik-cache on SD. Very useful, if you ask me.
Please report non-mentioned bugs in this thread with a SIZE 7 RED TEXT, so I can see it better (I'm short sighted ) !
Thank you
Addendum:
Copied over from the other thread!
Camcorder force closes, dialler works, and wifi works. Light sensor seems fine to me too.

Nope, with cyanogenmod you will never find google apps, even in final builds. You will always have to flash them apart
Once you put gapps on it makes it look more like the phone we know again. lol
Edit: F/B sync doesn't work, and the led turns Green at 90% charge.

Just flashed the package, will test them as soon as it boots. Until now only video recording is broken.
nvm. 10charlimit.
If someone has been experiencing echo/white noise with Froyo roms previously, can they report whether they are finding this occurring with this please?
Automatic brightness is sort of broken: you have it to tinker a little with it to make it working.
When it works, it only goes up automatically: you have to make the device sleep to make brightness go down again.
A2SD legacy way (trasparent to OS) is not activated: I automatically let it download my apps, and when it finished, I had 30 megs free.
I will try to break my installation now, just trying tremor a2sd script
Don't try it, it won't work (still... I'm reporting everything to the tremor thread).

That's quite clever: most phones, even high end (Nexus one or our Desire) actually have a very pooooo 512 flash memory.
Instead, everyone can get a 4/8 GB Class 6 SDHC memory for not more than 20/30 EUR.
It would be stupid to still leave everything on ROM...
Froyo-way A2SD is just the starting, and it would be good only for GB devices owners that doesn't want too give away too much space for games!!!!
Testing 07 / 07 build
How is the rom? Is it fast/smooth? How is the 3D performance & animations?

[Boot Animation] Fake PC BIOS (100% EVO Information) + Sound - **UPDATED 2/7**

Big shout out to evanscnce for his prior work on this. If I missed anyone, please forgive me.
LAST UPDATE: 2/7/2011
Changelog:
2/7/11 - JSmurfy made a flashable zip
9/8/10 - My animations say "Custom ROM". EindhovenOne is creating animations for your specific ROM (click here)
9/4/10 - Added a bootanimation + sound that has the android part for less time (more bios)
9/2/10 - Added a quieter bootsound
9/1/10 - Added Philosuffer's suggestions to bootanimation
Note: It won't have that "unregistered" part on your phone.
Regular version:
(Click here or on the image for the full sized preview.)
Less Droid version:
NOTE: Even though it is 1 frame, the Android part stays for a few seconds as the UI comes up
(Click here or on the image for the full sized preview.)
I changed the animation from the Baked Snack version, most to better reflect most of our current states:
*desire>evo
*8250 cup>8650 cpu
*2.1>2.2
*mocado rom>custom froyo rom
*compass>f.m. radio (I noticed the phone does have a compass... oh well)
*sim>internal storage
*microsd>microsdhc
*trackpad>power + vol down (thanks Philosuffer for the suggestion)
*512MB ROM>1024MB ROM
*init form 7 dots to 5 like the rest
*initialisation>initialization (thanks Philosuffer for the suggestion)
*android fully filled with green text > android gradually filling up with green text
The evanscnce version only currently has:
*desire>evo
*2.1>2.2
*mocado rom>custom froyo rom.
I also made a bootsound that's about 15 seconds, and syncs up with the 1st part of the animation. It is a computer booting up, with fans, the BIOS beep, and disk searching. I haven't heard the other new ones, so mix and match if you like theirs better. I think mine is pretty sweet though. I found that the original version is very loud if you have your volume up, so I also included a softer version.
How to change your boot animation to this one
Way 1 (Recovery):
Enter your recovery and flash this flashable zip (no warranty/use at own risk)
made by me and packaged by JSmurfy. Link to file - http://bbthemesunltd.com/jsmurfevo/bootanimation_bios.zip. Note: this zip will work on ROMS where the animation and sound are in the same place as the stock ROM. If they are not, The zip will not work, but your phone should still be fine.
This version has the "DROID!" sound.
Way 2 (ADB/Root Explorer):
Download the attached file you are most interested in and push the boot animation and sound file to their proper folder. Reboot.
Way 3 (May be outdated, but its a solution for many who don't like recovery or messing with the android file system):
Download evanscnce's Easy way to change your bootscreen *updated for CM6* (link to file - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=388107&d=1282771153)
Download the attached boot animation (bootanimation.zip) and/or sound (SPC_animation_final.zip).
-Unzip pushboot.zip into an empty folder.
-Don't unzip the animation, just put it in that same empty folder.
-Unzip the sound in the folder.
-Plug your phone in, and make sure it is set to debug and charge only.
--Open pushboot.bat if you have HALFROOT
**OR** Open pushboot2.bat if you have FULLROOT
**OR** Open pushbootcm6 if your using Cyanogens ROM
-Follow the prompts (when the phone goes into recovery, wait utill it connects to your pc before continuing)
--If you want to remove the bootsound from your phone, run the audio delete bat.
Just a heads up, this has already been fixed/edited... In the other edit, it has been changed to reflect use on the Evo 4g, Shows as a 2.2 OS, and Also has been customized for various ROMs (Rather than show as "Custom ROM", the ROM name is listed) Just need to DL the right one for the ROM you are using....
Edited BIOS Bootscreen thread
But, Good work.

EDIT: xda wasn't working for me yesterday, or i would have noticed. mine changes 4x more stuff though, and it makes it where it doesn't matter what froyo rom you use. i think someone should still convert this. i'll also get with that person so we can get this done.
EDIT: i figured it out. post 1 is updated.
I made a sound for this BIOS boot animation & it syncs perfectly with the animation (IMO).

That's cool, I may add your "droooid" clip to the end of mine sometime and give you credit. My sound is a 15 sec bootup, fans whirring, bios beep right when it shows froyo custom, disk searching sounds, and then it ends right when the android logo comes up. If I were to add yours to mine, I'd make it say "drooooid" right then. You can add it to mine and post it if you'd like, just please credit me.

I checked both out. I like this one more with the changes you put in place.
One thing about this BIOS Screen is that its a bit fast. The "BIOS" loads so fast you cant read some of the changes.

I agree with you there. In the future, I might make one with less Droid and more Bios.
I ran through your instructions, i am running Evio ROM and i used the Pushboot 2 bat file and i still do not have the custom bootscreen? I tried both of of the attached files..
I can't get the audio to delete.
It installed just fine but won't remove. Can't find the files and errors out.

You should have 3 zip files, pushboot.zip, bootanimation.zip, and SPC_animation_final.zip. Extract pushboot.zip to a new folder, unzip SPC_animation_final.zip into that same folder, and just place bootanimation.zip in that folder. Did any error pop up when you tried, and if so, what?

Try the silent mp3 in the attachment with whatever method you used to place the sound and animation in the 1st place. make sure there is only one mp3 in the folder. If that doesn't work, take a look at the thread with the script to upload the animation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701295) and see if there are any solutions, but the silent mp3 will probably work. Let me know.
Almost 100% Evo... At the bottom it says press Home to enter Setup.
This one says Hold Vol-Down + Power to enter Setup, and Initialisation changed to Initialization (for USA residents).

Thanks. The updated version is in the 1st post.
Very nice, definitely switching to yours.
Changelog:
9/4 - Added a bootanimation + sound that has the android part for less time (more bios)
Nice.. just wish it was easier to load in my phone.. why can't it be easy!!!! Lol

Yeah, it does seem like updating stuff on Android is a little harder than Windows Mobile, for instance.
Why can't it just be a zip!!! Great work though... There seems to be a bunch of new devs/tom cookers.. Hit them up..

The 1st and last time i tried to make something flashable, it bootlooped my device. I am tired of reinstalling/flashing for the time being, and wouldn't want to have anyone else go through it either.
All you have to do is download 2 or 3 files (loader, animation and/or sound). If you follow the instructions, it should take less than 5 minutes total from the time you are done downloading to the time your phone has the new animation running.
Updated for Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 users!!!
First off, all credit goes to the OP for his work on the original animation!
Hey, all...this took me a little while but I updated the original animation so now it says "Fresh Evo v3.2.0.0" under the ROM section. I also changed the "Generic microSDHC " to "SanDisk microSDHC" and changed "FM Radio" back to "Compass" since I don't use the FM Radio at all. I also made the animation a bit longer to compensate for the slight wait you had between the end of the animation and the boot into the ROM...
I'll make updated longer ones for each ROM when I get the chance if the OP doesn't mind and doesn't beat me to it, but I wanted to take care of my Fresh Evo users first.
I also considered making separate ones for each size microSDHC card but that would take quite a while but we'll see.
In any case, here you go, Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 updated BIOS boot animation...and as I stated in the first line, thank you akastixx for your work, sir.

i don't mind at all. people have been editing and re-releasing this boot thing since at least the touch pro. i went with "custom" to appeal to the masses. i didn't feel like putting in the time for each rom that was out. i will link to your post. if you could just add any new ones to that post, we wont have to link to various posts.

[Release] SuperOS Rom Customized Updated to V2

[UPDATED] V2 - Read new Changes Further Down :

Changes made to the rom :
Changed UI to ADW Launcher ( the default launcher was crap, and also only allowed you to use only 3 rows of the deskspace for icons )
Removed Dockbar, screen is small enough and dockbar space is wasted.
Limited the screens to 2, can add more via the ADW Launcher settings.
Added some usefull apps ( see list above )
Added the Evil Eye Wallpaper ( there is additional wallpapers available )
Added the Beautiful Clock/weather Widget on homescreen
Launcher Icon is on bottom right of homescreen to enter menu.

free space now 82.62mb
UI in general is now customized to provide maximum Desktop space and removed that damn stupid dockbar. You can still make use of all needed features, status bar is still on top in its default location, you can access menu from the Launcher icon in bottom right of homescreen. Phonebook/dialer can still be accessed by pressing the Phone button as normal.
Screenshots are attached below.

I made this for anyone who uses most of the same apps and stuff and dont care for the stupid side/dockbar and who don't know or dont want to hassle going thru all the crap to get the rom customized to the point where its actualy user friendly. You can now make FULL use of all your desktop space, you can add extra desktops and with all the most popular apps already installed you still have some memory free to install more.
Enjoy ....
Nice
One question, isn't SuperUser Elite a payed app?
no idea really. i just loaded from my backup apps folder, i hope not...
ext4 partition support?
Hi,
How can i use my ext4 partition on your rom which has formatted a partition program by windows based.
PS. i have never used this EXT4 partition..
i have tried CM and SuperOSR but,
internal seeing always 150mb in total.
If someone describe me using ext4 partitions step by step, i will be greateful
Sounds like you have partition issues, You are asking in the wrong section. This is a rom release, not a partition repair thread.
its good bro but not impressed, u just add few more apps to Rom n release it with very less internal memory..if u really would like to do with this ROM then configure front camera n release it or do some necessary changes for better experience..these application r easily available in market..everybody can add more application & release it with SuperOSR version 3 or 4...please don't copy someone's effort...
ROM is Already gud in itself...
O please, firstly i have taken no credit, neither did i say i changed anything on the rom. Secondly all roms are based on other roms, so everyone is taking stuff from everyone else. PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU POST.
Thirdly, this release is a UI customisation change, not a new rom release. the current superos has a UI that I don't like, all the icons are badly sitting awkwardly on the right hand side, the left column of the screen cant even be used. the dockbar is wasting valueble space and with such a small screen, very few people can click the dock buttons properly. the problem is that they didnt design the rom specificly for just the chacha but for more than one device and as such never took the time to sit with a single device and fix the little things, and If they dont want to fix the UI then why shouldnt i ?
Fourthly, you are right, i didn't have to add the apps, but these are apps most people will use and load anyway so why not just add them into the rom ?

That's why it's called open source.
Btw, munishjoshi, most ROMs are based on AOSP, which is Android Open Source Project, that has about 2000 people around the world working/have worked/will work on it and you don't see any credits to any of them.

my intention was not to steal thunder from anyone. Its just so bloody annoying that everytime i flash superos i must keep fixing the UI and reload all these apps and there must be others out there that feel the same way, this is reason i posted this. if no one has any use for it ill remove it and let everyone be happy...
I am already working on a release of a stripped down Stock Sense rom. and on that rom i am actualy editing the rom itself, not just the UI. Altho it will be a while before its done.
hey don't take it otherwise bro...i just would like to say that do something new...waiting for your further updates...
Apart from the UI there is nothing else to do on this rom. the rom is perfect as it is. just the UI needed adjustment.
Wait for my new rom if you want to see major changes ...

Please adhere to the old addage "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it". Customization is why we all come to xda, either enjoy what is freely given to you, or do it yourself.

Let's have this battle end here and now, and move on.
Thank you all.
Ok boss...thanks
Keep on the good work.. nice to see more people are devolping and customizing for the chacha..
does this rom fix wifi issues and front camera?
nope. i did not make any fixes to the rom itself, i just customized the UI to be more user friendly and edited some cache settings and stuff.

True, SuperOSR wasn't designed especifically for the Chacha. We focused our effort on making it work. What is a great thing of OpenSource is that people can help and join to the effort. In that case, if you fixed the UI as you say you did, do not hesitate to send your modification so they can benefit everyone.
Now, if by fixing the UI you mean you replaced Launcher with ADW, then IMHO you didn't "fix" it.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Xiaomi Mi 9, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Xiaomi Mi 9 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I absolutely love the lock screen that shows the earth and moon in sync with realtime. And you can check notifications this way, swipe them away if you want, and when you put the phone down it will go to sleep immediately! And it will wake when you pick it up. Nice little touches.
It's great. Fast, bluetooth is working, sound quality is great, feels so premium, battery seems like it's doing well, the screen is magnificient, the camera fast and accurate. For a phone without OIS, I was pleased my little parakeet running up my arm could be captured sharply, she never stops moving.
So far, day one? I'm in love.
Real review
- super hard to unlock bootloader
- very easy to root then, with OTA and everything staying (main difference vs Samsung - no OTA, no bluetooth, no encryption etc)
- no Lockdown feature, even with external activities
- there's no SD card and TWRP doesn't support USB, so you're broke when travelling, USB flash with flashfiles won't help
- absolutely bloated, incl. chiness apps even in EU version (need to disable all *xiaomi* and *mi* apps, firewall the rest)
- they override every app, every dialog, and modify even innocent com.android packages, so it's super hard to debloat
- insane settings, too much and not easy to read. Easily the hardest to set phone ever
- many of those million settings simply don't work, especially permissions, lot of glitches like double power key to flash is blocked by screen off action
- example of stupidy is battery section, have to click so much to see the chart and there's no % anywhere! Basic value. Like you virtually have no chance to know %, unless you set such status icon. why not reveal % when expanding notification menu like other models?
- some settings are strong, like complex Data limits, AI remapping, call recording available without hack etc
- "AI" button easily programmable via Xposed
- nice to have apps like Music and Video which vanilla OxygenOS skips, but they're weak and no DLNA which is advertised
- volume buttons on the right? excellent, never ever could touch those on the left easily. However no easy shortcut for Dont Disturb (only the stupid long press to mute just ONE volume) and no activity for it available (to let Xposed handle it).. OnePlus wins with the dedicated button easily
- data collection and privacy agreements virtually everywhere, in any simple app (that's why AOSP would be lovely choice instead of XIAOMI ROM)
- battery life is insane when active (like pure 10 "configuration day" hours or 7.5hr with 31hr overall), got mediocre in standby after configuration (no good kernel exists, stock kernel is crap, not aware of deep doze, so pushing Naptime and Servicely at least, so far pushed it to est 78hr wifi_standby vs 178hr standby on 6T! update: pushed it to 267hr in a quick test, but real test req full charge and >3hr standby to be meaningful, anyway potential is there), still early to say what will be final 3g and wifi standby (in progress)
- notification ecosystem is very good (except by default they disabled notifications for most apps!), you can customize popups, AOD magic light (however AOD won't show any app icon for me), and the LED make sure you know about notification or charging (and charging produces very nice animation - very important for Qi to know you place phone right!)
- AOD exists unlike in OnePlus, and in battery app its got its own category
- overall fast, currently the fastest phone on market
- yet another Pie implementation of navbar with some crazy gestures from the left/right which collide with its own GBoard gestures (still the Oreo task manager was better)
- QC charging is fast and supports QC2-3-4 (that is very very good unlike properietary OnePlus charging, who's got OnePlus chargers around? Noone. Who's got QC chargers? Many), fast Qi not working on legacy chargers (not a showstopper as i like slow charge to treat battery right, and will have one 27W Qi for urgency)
- super fast face unlock during day, poor during night just like 6T as there's no infra, however 6T can raise identification chance to 100% with ugly but working display flash
- unreliable fingerprint unlock (same as on 6T, doesn't work in 50% cases and won't autolearn nothing)
- looks much better and less bulkier than 6T even in supplied cover. also 12g lighter but still heavy unlike sweetspot-weight champions S10 (157g) and S10e (150g)
- notch is bad, it cannot disappear smart like on 6T (with status bar still on, yes the newest versions adds change of shape - useless), to add to insult, the cutting of corners is wrong (prepare to see ugly fullscreen with different type of corner rounding)
- camera is poor in dark, no night mode (6T night mode is awesome)
- no IP certification, but ok to clean under water, not ok to immerse as the rubber in SIM card is poor quality, however display to phone is stuffed with branded water sealing solution
- camera is raised a lot, will scratch (the sapphire nonsense doesn't work)
- night mode renders some gfx unreadable, but this is problem with every android phone
- screen is nice, and super bright if needed
Overall hardware is no brainer for the price, software is total crap.

Well a nice feedback list, I just try to keep some points to clarify/to propose another perspective from another users to help others
- there's no SD card and TWRP doesn't support USB, so you're broke when travelling, USB flash with flashfiles won't help --> This is not really a problem to many users, just find a computer and not many people really have a need to do anything flashing without a computer.
- absolutely bloated, incl. chiness apps even in EU version (need to disable all *xiaomi* and *mi* apps, firewall the rest) --> Just put all those apps to a folder to forget it, and don't use them. easy, it doesn't take that much space. In EU rom, there's very few apps like that, and I can avoid them completely without removing or de-bloating them.
- insane settings, too much and not easy to read. Easily the hardest to set phone ever --> I found no problem this, you just change the one you need, in English there's nothing seems difficult to understand, at least to me.
- there's no % anywhere! Basic value. Like you virtually have no chance to know %, unless you set such status icon. why not reveal % when expanding notification menu like other models? --> just turn % battery on that just one tick.
- unreliable fingerprint unlock (same as on 6T, doesn't work in 50% cases and won't autolearn nothing) --> It works 80% number of times for me, of course, can't compete with real physical fingerprint, but definitely not 50% for me.
- camera is poor in dark, no night mode (6T night mode is awesome) --> Defaut camera has night mode, + Google camera is a much better choice
- camera is raised a lot, will scratch (the sapphire nonsense doesn't work) --> Yep, buy a camera glass protector + a case with the higher back which protect the camera
Some info hopes can help others as well.
It's weird that there are actually alternative ROMs, kernels, but not published here. Just installed the kernel with lovely wakelocks disabled. Hope it helps the terrible battery life.
The Xiaomi software is the worst seen while on XDA, cannot imagine it's even worse in non-EU version. Already thinking how life was easy with "configure and forget" 6T except omission of QC, QI and LED diod, which are the huge hardware advantages i'm dying for.
To make this phone usable, one needs to get rid of the software. The horror called MIUI. However switching to vanilla ROM brings common problems like on Samsung (Bluetooth not working, limited fingerpint, limited camera, no OTA). So the best would be heavily debloated ROM published here, injecting some vanilla stuff back. I'd remove Pemission manager, Security manager, clouds. Good luck!
Extra bizzare behaviour:
- if you don't set float notifications for the app, they will never show up (disabled for all by default so have to click hundred times just to change this settings, and another thousand clicks to recover other choices), however if you turn it on, they float notifications will be forced! (like VPN starting, navigation starting - events that never show up as popups)
- if you click clean memory from Security manager, battery manager or even "X" button in task manager, it will kill ALL apps (incl. apps which have highest priority due to notification, incl. VPN!) - how insane can this be?
- DLNA proudly in spec, but their apps can't cast or read UPNP folders, while all others can. But at least they can connect to Alibaba servers...
- nonstop popups about app going full screen (while there's no visual difference! already navbar gone because of Pie gesture setting)
- nonstop popups about downloading files on 3G (they had to touch this sacred group of processes too - Media+Download manager)
- you can change notification bar Setting icon to Search icon, feature mimicking the best Samsung's tool "Finder" except this one is weaker but with ad/spyware . Not only it won't trigger search but also you can't get to settings anymore (what if you don't have Settings icon in app launcher? reflash ROM?)
- boot keyboard.. are you kidding me.. unresponsive, hardly can type password there.. Shift equals Caps lock. Tt behaves like TWRP keyboard, don't type more than 1 character per second
I absolutely love Xiaomi devices but don't use them until I install xiaomi.eu rom. Of course you need to unlock it first and install TWRP but it's a must to get rid of some of the annoying things you wrote on your list. The roms are great and I use it on all of my Xiaomi devices.

It is the same thing. but the developer version it has no ads, no bloat, clean and fast.
Here is the version that I use, scroll down the page and choose which options you want. This is a custom rom based on the latest Xiaomi.eu developer rom. The only difference is that you can add root and adblock.

@doggydog2 several things on your list are not correct. You are stating the USB OTG doesn't work? ( It does work) Spend some more time understanding how Miui works and then you will be able to cross off most of your list. Also you would be better off using the developer rom, or the Mi-Globe rom listed above.

no OTG in TWRP that's valid except one recovery ppl avoid as it's Chinese. It's a huge deal especially when you have a device without SD card. Just today had to escape home early to recover the phone..what a new way to operate.
After hundreds of flashes, test of all available ROMs (except this one), recoveries, kernels and full functional check on this particular phone i've a good overview. Overall Xiaomi is a very outdated, over modified bloated ugly software. They should start from the scratch to be honest. Yes 10 years ago ppl would celebrate their extra functions, but today it's intrusive, useless or duplicit. That's why unique Samsung features are now dead (multiwindow etc) as Android implemented it. Xiaomi insists on their irrational UI, worst Settings UI hierarchy in the industry and replacement of everything. There's literally nothing innovative in the UI except single functional extra - data usage control - and you get more functions in AOSP. Few non-innovative things to like? Sure, notif lights, charging animations, call recorder not hidden.. But that's nothing new. The stuff like disabling all notifications and auto starts until users enables it, is insane. Memory management is a joke. Overriding all system dialogs is pathetic. Inserting wait times in confirmation popups is aggressive. Intrusive download manager is good just to block desired downloads from Google etc. Fantastic Pie features (QuickStep, switch apps by navbar) are disabled. Minimal difference in Global vs EU version spotted, i'd prefer global one and delete few extra spy/bloat/malwares myself just because of the ugly icons.
But anyway, I like that webpage. Thanks. It's cool to cook a ROM. Wished the updates were via OTA and directly from OS. They rip some more crap off, which is so much needed in Xiaomi phones. The question is: does mi-globe keep modified 3rd party app icons like Xiaomi.EU? Does Magisk18.1 work? I'd like to try luck with version 18 to improve battery life.

no OTG in TWRP that's valid except one recovery ppl avoid as it's Chinese. It's a huge deal especially when you have a device without SD card. Just today had to escape home early to recover the phone..what a new way to operate.
After hundreds of flashes, test of all available ROMs (except this one), recoveries, kernels and full functional check on this particular phone i've a good overview. Overall Xiaomi is a very outdated, over modified bloated ugly software. They should start from the scratch to be honest. Yes 10 years ago ppl would celebrate their extra functions, but today it's intrusive, useless or duplicit. That's why unique Samsung features are now dead (multiwindow etc) as Android implemented it. Xiaomi insists on their irrational UI, worst Settings UI hierarchy in the industry and replacement of everything. There's literally nothing innovative in the UI except single functional extra - data usage control - and you get more functions in AOSP. Few non-innovative things to like? Sure, notif lights, charging animations, call recorder not hidden.. But that's nothing new. The stuff like disabling all notifications and auto starts until users enables it, is insane. Memory management is a joke. Overriding all system dialogs is pathetic. Inserting wait times in confirmation popups is aggressive.

I don't have time at the moment to address every point you make in detail. But I wanted to respond with a couple of brief suggestions that hopefully help. When I first tried Miui, I also hated it. But, I ended up trying it again and again via custom roms and eventually grew to love it. Many of the quirks have a workarounds, and some things that seem to be missing can be found deep in device settings, developer options, or app settings. You can often find some good info using the Mi Community app.
First full disclosure, I have a Mi8, my brother is the one with the Mi9. He travels alot for work and isn't very technically adept, so he is mostly fine with his phone as it is. As you know the Mi 9 is still so new and many of the stock AOSP features will be available to you when custom roms arrive...it will not be long.
The OTG issue that you are experiencing is tied to the version of TWRP that you are using. OTG will end up working and apparently it does work with some versions. I would guess that you are already experimenting on your own to find the right one.
Since no official version yet exists here is one that I found that supposedly works well : https://mega.nz/#!CH5jgYTB!yNqOiVoo3cf0_15jIwZ-btO52cvpOG7iZrRCe19V2Nc and Here is another one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79431805&postcount=215
Unfortunately, you will have to wait for a highly stable TWRP to become available that is able to survive through updates and remain in tact. We had these types of issues with the Mi8 as well, and I have had similar issues with my previous phone. But eventually things should work as expected.
I don't know how well you know Miui, some of the things you are missing can probably be activated deep within settings. For example, if you turn off Miui Optimization within developer options you can the install and use your missing Pie features. Such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.wellbeing&hl=en_US
I use gestures instead of the NavBar, now that I have become used to it I can't stand using buttons. Also, I do get notified of OTA updates while using the Mi-Globe rom. I can select the rom to download automatically > about phone> system update settings. Once I receive that notification, I will usually manually go to the Mi-Globe page and download their updated version, and dirty flash it over the previous version. Occasionally I will need to reflash Root. But most of the time it persists. I keep a magisk flashed backup boot image in downloads just in case.
I use Magisk 19 Canary and have never had issues with root.
Good Luck

Thanks for a good reply.
Yes TWRP situation is tight right now, with "xiaomi9" vs "cepheus" errors, variety of gapps errors etc.. Testing all of them. Good to know this beta exists, i missed this recent info even when active on forums currently. I tried now and it looks great. Luckily on this phone encrypted sdcard doesn't cause any problem with flashing, so i'm ok to wait for TWRP updates.
I agree the full screen gestures are fantastic, i used them on Note9, 6T and Mi9. All of these phones customize original Pie navigation. Once i saw the original behaviour in AOSP ROM, the Pie task manager "Recents" with "QuickStep", and the navbar, i enabled buttons as this is so productive.. Scroll through full screen app previews back and forth, or swipe up app drawer from any app, hmmm. So cool.
Alright, OTA looks great. Although I believe OS doesn't know about your customization, so you better go to the webpage to decide which package to download.
I'm going to try this ROM. I'm not a gfx guy, i hardly ever used a wallpaper, but i really don't like the EU changes to app icons system-wide. I just can't look at 10 year old shortcut like TitaniumBackup looking different. Please let me know if you are aware of a fix. Thanks.

I forgot to mention DM verity, you can get it and read about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389.
Regarding the OTA, in my case it usually pretty seamless since Mi-Globe is based on the EU weekly build. ( I prefer these builds because they have more features and zero ads) However, the Global Stable to Weekly or vice versa usually requires a little more work. But you are correct, I want to know for a fact what I am flashing so I will usually just manually download the update if using the Mi-Globe build.
Backup
I haven't had alot of luck with using Titanium backup recently on any of my phones that have recent Pie roms. I remember reading something about it being due to some changes Google made with security in late February? However, the built in Local Backup has worked for me every single time except once. It will backup all apps, and many of the settings not covered by Google restore. Its my main source of restoring settings and for me works better than Titanium backup. There is also the option of using Mi-Cloud ( which I also use redundantly) Then of course we can sometimes restore a TWRP backup data.
There are several other options, including free options that are similar to Titanium backup. Programs such as Migrate I have not used it yet. but I have read that it works. Like the Miui Local backup, Migrate supposedly restores everything. Including apps, that are not from the playstore, apps data and even flashed system apps such as Pixel/Sony/Samsung Live Wallpapers and then the remaining Google restore just takes a couple of minutes
Running global MIUI now. the Battery life is great.
The cooked version with Magisk 18 indeed doesn't work. Just upgrade to v19.
QuickStep magisk plugin doesn't work, i keep trying even if it looks like first OS must be able to provide Pie functionality, then you can tweak. Therefore: AOSP only Stuck with this
XiaomiEU app icons can be removed here: non-destructively rename /system/media/theme/miui_mod_icons (thanksgod)

didn't find this setting, instead i was offered with xiaomi_eu version from today so i downloaded and pressed install which is quite comfortable. The only glitch is need to wait til TWRP installation is done and press Vol+ button (new Magisk 19.1 feature since today) to root with dedicated TWRP button 'Install root' (comfy). Then do some maintenance as many permissions are reset. Luckily disabled apps stay disabled. I'd like to script this and stick to xiaomi_eu as practically there's just miuidaemon extra feature in miglobal.
two problems:
- "can't connect to camera" for portrait mode in stock cam
- TWRP sees unencrypted files, other TWRPs won't boot
tsongming said:
It is the same thing. but the developer version it has no ads, no bloat, clean and fast.
Here is the version that I use, scroll down the page and choose which options you want. This is a custom rom based on the latest Xiaomi.eu developer rom. The only difference is that you can add root and adblock.
https://mi-globe.com/rom-builder-features/?id=18&codename=cepheus&phone=Mi+9
@doggydog2 several things on your list are not correct. You are stating the USB OTG doesn't work? ( It does work) Spend some more time understanding how Miui works and then you will be able to cross off most of your list. Also you would be better off using the developer rom, or the Mi-Globe rom listed above.

This mi-globe rom seems insane !!
Great for the money but with software bugs that affect the usability. Video stuttering at 30fps and notifications issues.
As always, MIUI is the problem from a Xiaomi device.
4 me, xiaomi.eu is not an option, since they use chinese builds as a basis. If anyone known a project similar to him, but based in global ROMs, I appreciate it. Tks!
I think the MI9 is the best phone out there because of
1. Software (it rocks, especially RevolutionOS debloated)
2. Camera (the best one on the market as of now)
3. Performance/Display
4. The notch (I feel uncomfortable having retractable camera + I think a waterdrop notch looks sick)
It charges really fast and battery time is pretty good! Amazing phone for 400€!
Bought mine for 300£ the 128gb version. At that price could have bought a oneplus 6 but this phone is amazing. Compared to the oneplus 7pro the size is great and performance is really good. Will definitely buy again. The only pain is having to wait for the bootloader unlock!
Bought mine 6/128 Gt version at 498 € price. After a week I decided to switch to xiaomi.eu rom and with some additional tweaks (debloating with Xiaomi ADB/FastBoot Tool) I start to feel that the software starts to match with the hardware. I love the design, it feels comfortable in your hands (I use the soft case what was delivered with the phone) and with the tweaks it feels quite snappy and powerful tool for everyday tasks. MIUI mostly sucks but luckily you can use Nova launcher. I've been satisfied with the camera at this point (especially with the ultra wide lens) but I think it can still be improved and I should give a try for the GoogleCam as well.

Hey another day another rom, that's what you might be thinking. but we at stag aim towards elegance. We are learners just like everyone out there, This is small project we have started which helps us learn every single day. Why Stag, you might question, my answer would be why not. After all Harry's patronus was a stag(pun intended). After having a couple of iterations, we still intend to stick to our roots, and keep refining what we have. With Android 12, Stag would still be aiming at an elegantly beautiful close to stock experience, that satisfies just the features and customisations you'd crave for (nothing more, nothing less), at the same time being blazing fast and silky smooth. You'll have to try it to believe it .

Changelog - 08/09/2022
Hey everyone, this update took a bit longer. I have been super busy with life. I'll keep changelog this time short and concise.
1. OOS Cam is finally here, everything works.
2. Build is based on August Patch
3. Added volte icon
4. And some stability fixes .
Hope you enjoy this release, this will be the final A12 release for OP9 series, see you in A13
Changelog - 20/07/2022
Hola, We're here quicker then before. This stag build is a simple elegant build that has some beautiful additions. Firstly the build is updated to July Security Patch. Up to date AF.
I'll directly jump on to changelog:
1. Now you have multiple options in alert slider, it's a waste just using alert slider for silent, sound and vibrate. Let's use it for a lot more than that. We call it the Awesome Alert Slider.
2. Added option for higher touch sampling rate.
3. We have an OOS style clear all icon in notifications, it's boring to see clear all text.
4. Now you can flaunt android 12L in your version hehe.
5. We have a screen off fod now, you can use fingerprint when screen is off. You can find the option in Settings > System > Gestures.
6. And many crashes fixed internally )
Changelog - 23/06/2022
Guys this is a small hot fix build that ensures that sensors are fixed. The older update had a bug due to which all sensors stopped working
Changelog - 21/06/2022 - Sensors Broken
Hiya, This time the changelog might turn out pretty long, so yup stay tuned. Before anything else, Yes I realise the time between updates is kinda long, honestly I really try had to get it to you guys much sooner, but this is the best I can do. Another factor that comes in is, every time I add a new feature or fix a bug, I feel like there's something else that can be better, and I go on to fix/work on that, this cycle keeps happening because come on guys, I want to ship out nothing but the absolute best for you guys to use.
And this time with the OOS 12 base, a lot of things broke, and I had to work on fixing things from around up, so without further ado I'll jump right into the changelog. As always, will start with what's bad
Assuming not everyone will read through, please follow the install instructions carefully, as mentioned in OP. else you might end up in brick
So there are two known bugs which I really couldn't fix at this point:
1. Low mic volume in recording apps, calls are perfectly fine (some reported that if you turn on speaker in call once after every reboot, the mic seemingly becomes better)
2. Speaker starts crackling in specific audio (only on max volume) otherwise it's absolutely fine as long as you don't hit the absolulte max.
Ok that aside, now let's get into the good news, the juicy part :
Device Specific:
1. Ok the biggest change, Now the builds are going to be OOS 12 based, partly the reason why there was an even bigger delay, but man o man, the build just flies, you'll forget using any other OS.
2. Biggest challenge was to get the haptics right, the vibrations you feel when you touch your keyboard, or the the haptics when there's a notification, OOS 12 base created a huge mess with them but guess what, you'll not have to worry about them because the haptics are much much better than ever, you'll just fall in love with how your phone vibes (literally hehe).
3. On a few requests, I've decided not to include Gcam in this build, whoever wants are free to install whichever version you want to go with .
4. Verizon sims should finally work, Had multiple tests this time so you should have it working for sure, here's to everyone waiting with a Verizon sim.
5. And everything else that yo love and remember from previous version exactly as they were, if not better
Rom Side:
So here's a lot more magic this time, about time I felt the need of a few essential and good to have feature additions without in the slightest compromising how the usability feels.
1. We now have a working GameSpace dashboard, like for every gaming enthusiasts, finally you can game with the full power without any disturbance of notification.
2. Again for all the gamers out there, we have added some props to allow a game to unlock the maximum FPS possible, for more info:
Spoiler: Click Here
* Free Fire - Spoof Asus ROG Phone 1 will unlock 90 FPS
* COD Mobile - Spoof Xperia 5 || will unlock 120 FPS (only on multiplayer mode)
* PUBG Mobile - Spoof OnePlus 8 Pro will unlock 90 FPS
* Wild Rift - Spoof OnePlus 8 Pro will unlock 120 FPS
* Cyber Hunter - Spoof OnePlus 8 Pro will unlock 90 FPS
* Fortnite - Spoof OnePlus 8 Pro will unlock 90 FPS
3. For apps builds, now we ship a modded Pixel Launcher (credits: source). Gone is the pain of using a half baked custom icons. This is a much more optimised pixel launcher with a lot more goodies (like upto 6x9 grid in launcher)
4. A small aesthetic change, re arranged the layout of qs tiles, gone are the tiles which you rarely used and a rather depreciated wifi/mobile data tile. Now we have separate tiles for mobile data and wifi just like we remember and love from Android 11, and that's what is default.
5. Ohh and on the note of QS tiles, Hasn't it been annoying when you long tap on wifi just to be able to quickly connect but you are having to change the screen, now a small panel pops up as an overlay on the existing screen allowing you to work without leaving whatever you were doing.
6. A proper lock screen charging info, Instead of the boring wrong display, the estimate and wattage have now been fixed, and as multiple people questioned, yes Warp Charging does work .
7. And a highly requested feature (and I can see why), long press power button to turn on torch. You ask and thee shall receive, this build comes with the said feature.
8. Now we allow you to have a haptic feedback on QS tiles, when you tap on that, you know want that, don't you.
9. Some over the hood source changes, that'll make scrolling and animations go whoosh (faster and smoother), especially optimising the download and upload animations.
10. And a huge addition to feature list, Network traffic on status bar. For everyone who have been asking it is finally here.
11. Making life easier with this one, giving you an option to complete pull down the quick status bar either from left side or right side, depending on what you select. So you select, let's say right side, now if you pull down from left you'll have notifications. and if you pull down from right side you'll have the QS tiles. pretty handy right .
12. Added an Ambient music ticker, that'll flash new songs on ambient display, I personally love this, happy to finally be able to have it on stag .
13. Ok finally everything bugging with lock screen pin and pattern has been fixed, which allows to have scrambled pin layout back ).
14. Now directly delete a screenshot if you do not like it, directly from the preview when you take a new screenshot.
15. That's not all, now you can directly feed a screenshot into google lens, isn't that cool.
16. Added font customisation and a huge bunch of fonts, you'll absolutely love it. (We also have status bar, launcher icon customisations) you can find them in Horns > System.
17. Don't like watching '!' when mobile data is off ? worry not you can disable that now. see super thoughtful of me (just kidding)
18. If you are like me, you just want to watch the battery percentage on quick header and not something like "6 hours remaining", so like any sane person would do, I have added an option for you guys to be able to delete it.
Well that's all the changes for this update people....
oops spoke too soon, there's,more
19. Here's a little gesture touch, we now give you an option to turn of sleep either by double tapping on status bar or double tapping on Lock Screen. Use both or use neither upto you.
20. Wanna wake up your device using volume keys instead of power button. Just like shenron would say: "Your wish has been granted"
21. Ever seen a Samsung phone, Noticed their pop up notification (click here for reference), See how non intrusive and beautiful they look, don't be sad, you can have a very similar experience in stag, just go ahead and enable reticker from Horns. yay!!!
22. Ever see all the real estate in the status bar being wasted, the clock being so annoyed stuck beside camera, now you have the ability to customise it's location and the control that gives is amazing.
23. Made battery settings beautiful, added battery health info and capacity info so you also know what you have.
24. Added data usage panel.
25. Nav bar inversion, used to inverted back and recents layout, fear not when stag is here.
26. Smart auto-rotate, i.e. you rotate the phone by mistake when auto rotate is on, and phone just annoyingly rotates? not gonna happen that often anymore, phone will keep a track of your face and rotate only when it deems necessary based on orientation of your phone. (Will lead to higher battery consumption)
I could go on, but that's about most of it, there's still tiny under the hood improvements which aim at making stag ever better,
A huge change set this time, so I really am looking forward for you guys to try this build out, I really really wish you would love it and never want to leave ..
Happy Flashing

Changelog - 10/04/2022
Hola guys long time no see, I know I promised monthly updates, but this one stretched far too long. The reasons include my college and android 12.1, which was a huge pain for me. But nevertheless here we are as stable as ever ).. Ok as always
Without further ado, I'll quickly list down the Changelog.
Bad news first:
1. We won't be having OOS camera anytime soon, Almost everything works except for rear normal photo, I need some help for fixing hence I am not including it in release builds. If anyone wants to try it out, feel free to pm me on telegram: @vjspranav.
Ok that was it, everything further just keeps getting better.
Device Specific
* Tweaked the position of alert slider UI to make it feel more natural.
* There was a small chance of sim not being detected on first boot, that has been fixed.
* Issues with Verizon have been fixed. A few devices report it as working, a few report it as broken, so you can probably just try it out and let me know.
* Wait must have been super annoying to see wrong charging info on Lock Screen, stuck at some 1hr 24 mins always. Now your phone works as it should have! Lock-screen charging info now shows correct estimates.
* One of the biggest things, we no longer spoof our whole device as pixel, It detects as a oneplus and that helps a great deal with refresh rate in a few apps. And guess what!?
CTS still successfully passes ).
* Added a bit of optimised charging support, although you can't control start stop percentage, your phone will still make sure to stop charging after a certain point. This will be adapted based on your usage.
* Finally for everyone not being able to flash gapps on pristine build, Now you can do so and much more, The issue has been fixed. You can flash any and every apps package, be it micro, mini, full or stock.
* For people having Indian version or any other version which does not support wireless charging, they were unable to turn off, power sharing. Now you all don't have to worry .
Rom
* Updated to Android 12.1 with April security patch, nothing but the latest and the best.
* Added back charging animation ripple removed as part of 12.1 by Google.
* Temporarily removed pocket lock as it is causing issues with device wake.
* Added quick unlock with pin, many have asked for it.
* Added option to enable always on display on charging only.
* Added options to customise fonts and styles of status bar.
* And a lot of under the hood changes thanks to both android 12.1 and also things we at stag do.
As always, stag is as good as you last remember it if not better. I really hope you enjoy the build, and keep showing the love!!.
Cheers
Changelog - 25/02/2022
Hello everyone, first of all, sorry for the delay of two months. I was super busy with life and had covid and college and stuff, secondly I am super happy and thrilled for the support everyone has been giving. I really hope you find this build and also the next exactly to your liking if not more .
Without further ado, I'll quickly list down the changelog.
Device Specific
* Firstly The clock being overlapped by camera cut out, padding issue has been fixed.
* On Lock Screen, you must've seen FP icon and charging info overlapping each other, this issue has also been fixed.
* You must've loved the new unlock animations of A12 right?, But I'm sure everyone felt, the power button location of animation is off, guess what we've got that fixed too!
* Ohh how could I forget, the dreaded ring issue, you won't have to face it anymore, every call you do will for sure have a ring giving you the peace of the call being connected and not having to face surprises.
* We Added OnePlus Specific Settings, That let you select Hyper Touch, Edge touch etc.
* Added Touch screen gestures, these are just love (we also support single tap for ambient display )
* Wake device on pick up, and a couple more ambient display options have been added.
* Build comes with a pre installed working GCam on gapps build.
* Wanted to share your battery to your friends? We have power share toggle added, you can wirelessly or through wire charge your friends phone or any chargeable device!
If you think those are good, wait till you see, what the ROM brings
Rom
* Updated to February patch.
* Ever wanted to look at your phone, and just wanted it to unlock, no sweat, stag has the long awaited face unlock support now.
* We have ota support now, all further builds can be downloaded and installed seamlessly over OTA.
* Added an idle battery manager, this helps in saving idle battery.
* Guess what ever wanted too listen to your class and YouTube, and wanted to decrease volume of your class/meeting only ? It's now possible, we have per app volume control, let your meeting run in silence and let the music begin!. (just kidding, we have the feature but don't miss out on classes )
* I believe there was an issue with no default notification or ringtone in the last build, worry not we got you covered!
* And remember that annoying screenshot sound ? I don't, because we don't have it anymore.
* And And, Live translate works, Complete the initial setup and update all apps, and you're all set.
* For all the enthusiasts, we have an amazing black theme, I know you are there and you are going to love it!
* You scared your phone gets unlocked in your pocket? Well just a toggle and your phone can be smart enough to not unlock as long as it's in your pocket! with pocket lock.
* You like your brightness slider at the bottom? Do not want to see the auto brightness icon ? Or don't want to see the bar at all ? Well you can do all of them now.
* We have saner heads up now, if you are constantly annoyed by every notification pop up on your screen! Explore it to know it.
Upcoming
* We are working on OOS Cam, we have potrait pro mode etc working, so expect to see the next build with OOS Cam .
and too much more, small changes and tweaks to make your experience the best possible!!.
Due to the volume of changes, it is highly recommended to clean flash for the best experience.
Nice flashing now !!!!
Dont try it if you are coming from oos 12 stable . no luck. You must come from oos11
*even from oos 11 no luck.
It booted fine on the TMO op9 fingerprint sensor just flashes when I try to register but other than that everything else works perfectly. Thank you!

I came from an older version of lineage recovery because when I tried using the newer one it would not boot to the recovery. I came from 11.2.10.10 after using the TMO convert msm
Now that it booted android 12 let me try a fresh recovery flash of the newer one and start from scratch.
It booted to the newer recovery fine this time. Booted to the os as well. Still no fingerprint sensor. It seems it it just won't register.

At initial install,use the 0626 dated LineageOs recovery.img. Any newer nightly build losrecovery may cause an issue. After installing recovery and installing system, do not attempt to flash any recovery on device. It messes up the Os. I'm running Stag and FP sensor is working fast and easy on my end

3hrs? I can MSM and update to 11.2.9.9 then Beta 1 and up to C.39 in less than an hour.
It's not a test build,testing is over.
I've messaged OP and instructions and files will be updated soon.
Yep ,you are the one yeaaa!!
You have it bigger !!
I can do it to !
But I was trying to install THIS rom ,with different lineage recoveries .
Because even in the first upload of the TS the recovery was for lemonadep (onep9pro)
So no luck .
I had a personal conversation with the dev and he changed it to the newest and right one .
But even this that is uploaded now it doesn't boot.
