Small FAQ:
Q: How can i Unlock the Bootloader?
A: Instructions for Unlocking the Bootloader can be found here
Q: After locking the screen, the screen is all black, and I'm forced to reboot, how can I fix this?
A: If you have this issue, then your device uses an different hardware LCM
( the lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo ), please use the second kernel.zip for this variant, it'll be added an second kernel . zip for people with this variant, on the download section with the ROM releases
how to flash this ?
After flashing the ROM, flash the second kernel afterwards
This kernel containing the LCM for this HW variant will be always WIP, as both my units have the first LCM HW variant ( nt35521_dsi_vdo).
So my testing will be always based on other people logs
Q: Where are the Developer Options?
A: Go to Settings>About Phone, and tap 7 times on the Build Number
Q: How can i root this rom?
A: Rom is already pre-rooted with Lineage's su
--> Enable Developer Options by tapping 7 times on Build Number
then in Developer Options > Check the "root access" option
Q: Can i root with another method ?
A: Sure, you can also use latest SuperSU (v 2.82)
Magisk root, haves some issues with Legacy MediaTek Devices, use/ test at your own risk
Q: I can't flash this Rom on recovery, why?
A: You need to update your recovery in order to flash this Lollipop Builds
Q: How can i flash the new recovery?
A: If you already have an custom recovery installed:
Download the new recovery zip
flash the new recovery
reboot to recovery again
If you don't have any custom recovery installed:
- You can extract the "recovery.img" from the .zip
- Open an terminal
- Boot to fastboot mode, and type:

Info and GPL Compliance
Some small intro:
Asus never complied with GPL (despite the efforts of many people, myself included)
Asus always denied to provide the *real kernel source code, instead they provided an generic kernel that is useless, as it doesn't contained ANY driver used by this device
My Kernel, was made from *scratch, and this took some years to achieve the current state, yet, it's not completed nor perfect:
Broken:
- No cameras support ( the image sensors are highly customized by Asus), this is broken at kernel level, let alone on ROM...
- Sensors ( accelerometer & magnetometer are still kinda broken, they are registered, but don't work most of the times)
half Broken:
- WiFi : WiFi driver has also been highly customized, right now WiFi is working just fine, but with just one small bug
--> if you disconnect WiFi, and then afterwards try to connect it'll hang ( you need to reboot) FIXED since Build 20200516
- Reported battery percentage, isn't very precise , and may have sudden drops
Working:
LCM nt35521_dsi_vdo
LCM lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo
(second HW revision), support available in an seperate kernel .zip

Oh god. This looks amazing!
Dang that I sold mine a few years ago...
Good work!
Thanks for your efforts to make this working. Great job!
Still have one lying around here so definetly gonna try this.
If remaining problems with CM12.x are solved will there be like CM14 in the future too?
Thanks.

Thanks for work!
Yesterday I install this version on my tablet. Good side: tablet booted But after screen lock, I only can see screen backlight and sounds when I tap to a black screen, reboot helped solve this problem, but after screen lock, this problem repeated. And I can't turn on wifi

Interesting...
As I mentioned previously, this tablet came with two versions of LCM, I own two and both have the same :
"nt35521_dsi_vdo"
I can only assume your have the other LCM variant from LG "lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo"
As you can see here in kernel project configuration:
https://github.com/dragonpt/android...sus/mediatek/config/asus/ProjectConfig.mk#L49
Thanks for your provided feedback, you gave me an clue in how to possibly fix this second LCM variant, I'll look into it.
Meanwhile if you please: before your tablet went into locking, where the colors alright, any noticeable artifacts in the screen?
Thanks
Yep, I see some artifacts on the screen: screen blink and white line on the bottom of the screen
JFYI, I have RUS tablet version

yes
If you have stock rom (or any of my AOSP roms)
you need root, install deviceinfohw app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw&hl=en_US
then on this app go to settings, allow root permissions
reload the app, and it'll show the LCM driver

What are people using for root on this? I've tried flashing Magisk (v20) but it fails in an unsupported image format when extracting the boot image.

Lineage have their own su, you can activate it on developer settings
- you can also flash latest SuperSu 2.82 (tested working)
-Magisk haves some issues with some Mediatek devices (some other mtk devices my team supports haves this issue as well)
If I recall ... only until version 14 or 16 works
( I'll confirm this later)
Cheers
I have graphic artifacts after waking up the device. in addition, tablet charging does not work. after uploading the re-stock ROM loading works

Really Weird charging is not working...
Working fine for me, (16 GB variant WW) also a user with the 16GB variant RU also confirmed this to be working
About after waking up the device I have this sometimes as well, its ESD discharge from the LCM, not something to worry about, the LCM is not perfect, needs some more tuning .
Could you tell me what LCM does your variant uses?
You just need to install an app and check .
Seems to me , there's some more model variants
( with slightly different hardware that I was aware )
Cheers

Thank you, mate, for a great job!
It was pity to realise the good device is gonna die on JB.
Looking forward for a reliable ROM.
@superdragonpt sorry for became a bit OT,
Can I use some commits from your tree for another mt6589 device that I working on it?
Thanks!

Installed rom without issue, good instructions :good:
I also get problems waking device, in fact always have to reboot. Main reason to install was to allow netflix downloads however it appears that is a deeper issue than just android version, possibly architecture. But it does allow install of kodi so positive there. Main use is entertainment device in my car during lunch break.
Also have weird keyboard issues, double key entry type android get androoid and random other key presses miles away from where my fat fingers are pressing.
Great work so far otherwise, thanks
Let me know if I can assist dev with any test or info.
Cheers

How to Install / Requirements
Just in case, before flash make an full backup of your current Rom and Kernel.
Requirements
New CWM or TWRP Recovery ( In The Downloads Section)
I Recommend TWRP
Extended Internal UserData Partition (due to the new KK fstab, the internal Memory can't be mounted)
(Users with stock Partition Layout, can still flash this rom, however you'll have only 500MB of userdata)
Installation / Flashing Procedure
Put the rom on the EXTERNAL SD Card
BOTH SIM's must be taken out of the Phone (Not doing so will throw some nasty errors 8/10 times ...) Not need with Beta2
FULL Wipes are mandatory (Cache/dalvik/Data)
Flash the ROM (Remember, you must not have your SIM(s) card(s) on the Phone ...) Not need with Beta2
When the Rom, finishes Booting, you need to go to Settings > Date & Time > and UNtick the checkbox for "Automatic Time Zone" (Disabled this Option, as it messes with the Network Signal) Not need with Beta2
Power OFF the Phone, and insert your SIM(s) Card(s) Not need with Beta2
[*] If you wish, reboot to the recovery first, and flash the SuperSU.zip in order to ROOT the Device (ROM isn't rooted as default), After flashing the supersu.zip, reboot the Phone, Say "NO" to the Recovery Promp about Root not instaled/damaged
--> You can find the latest SuperSU Root v2.40 HERE Not need with v1.2 or above
[*] Install the Rom
Internal memory re-partition (extended userdata partition)
Read with very carefully and do it at your own risk
Make a full backup via MKTDROIDTOOLS including NVRAM and IMEI
The Internal SD will be formatted so you will lose all the data that you have there
Download NewmanN1_2.5G_ExtendUserdata.zip (modified MBR and EBR1)
Extract the ZIP into a folder in your computer
Shutdown the phone
Open SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 (or higher) and load the scatter file (extracted from NewmanN1_2.5G_ExtendUserdata.zip)
Flash MBR and EBR1 as shown on the next image (more details in this flashing tutorial)

Hi once again, lingfude. It is a pity for a situation on 4pda.
I as promised made the test Kit-Kat with one sim card in the 2nd slot. Results:
At installation of an insertion I didn't pull out a sim card from phone. The Automatic Time Zone point is included. Calls work, 2G the Internet works.
I have still a problem that Play Market long loads appendices. You have no such problem? The Internet well works.

Well I was about to post in there also, but since we can't post in English...
About the 3G calls patch, its working "ok" . People that complain about not having network signal, should check this 2 things:
- Follow the instructions ( I spent time writing that, to avoid unnecessary questions)
- country networks.
The modem isn't compatible for worldwide, if you don't have 2g or 3g network:
- Indicate what's your country and GSM networks , so, that we can make an additional patch.
Regards , have funn .
Edit: Lingfude, you need to check your kernel imgsensor driver, I changed that with FM50AF ( my zte driver)
In fact the driver in the source labeled OV8825/35 is the FM50AF modified.
--> You can get the original driver from qus source

In fact the driver in the source labeled OV8825/35 is the FM50AF modified.
--> You can get the original driver from qus source

Told ya
I'm glad for you
Automatic Time Zone error --> Solved
Hia All.
I just solve the com.android.phone error caused when "Automatic Time Zone" is enabled.
Very good.
Just to summarize 'till now what is not working (need to be fixed in some way):
1- Bluetooth
2- Camera autofocus (solved? waiting for the patch)
3- Auto Timezone (solved? waiting for the patch)
I just have some issue with:
1- finding roaming options (how can I disable roaming messages to be displayed? I'm all the time in roaming with my operator so no need to be warned about each time I'm doing a call )..
2- setting governor? Can't find any!
3- Top up menu (can't add or remove switches)
Thanks for your time.

Known Issues (regarding latest available Stable build)
Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues
Rarely, when you wake-up the device, touchscreen will have a noticeable input lag, easily fixable by turning off and on the display. (H/W or S/W bug?)
Wireless Display with some TVs could cause issues (AOSP bug related to HDCP, and Google doesn't provide a solution)
Video Stream through Screencast & Wireless Display will have inverted Red and Blue color channels due to BGR Pixel Format (actual Exynos sources don't allow to fix it)
Any Chinese (CHN, I9500XCUxxx codename) Baseband/Modem reduces Call Quality (due to forced AMR_WB, unsupported by CHN modems)
5GHz Wi-Fi Networks using Band B (52-140) and Band C (149-161) channels won't be listed (H/W or S/W bug?)
Reporting Bugs
You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.
REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

Read carefully.
Differences between GearCM (Optimized CyanogenMod) and Official CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY):
Degrated Shadow said:
Enough of those dumb questions..
The official CM rom is maintained by @Alberto96 and @intervigil
He makes the very recent changes here relating to performance.. which are then in time pushed to CM official rom. The kernel is different because it has selinux disabled and few minor tweaks you might not even notice.. this gearcm rom will have more performance. But CM rom will have their updated base changes which are included here with each update.
What I mean is you probably wont even notice what's different in terms of user interface.. gearcm will have more performance. Official cm will have updated sources. But it will include gearcm's changes in time as @Alberto96 pushes them to CM
You can decide by a simple choice. more performance and not-nightly updated sources or similar performance (improving with nightly updates) with updated sources. I would choose gearcm because of the reasons I mentioned above. Do what you will.. and let this be a note to everybody who ask this again and again and again. Don't spam the thread with same question in every alternate page.. Because there are other people who might have different problems they need to ask. Read atleast 15 previous pages and the first post changelog before asking the question. Reading most of the times will give you a solution and if not most of the info you will read will help you anyway.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Where are "Performance" and "Developer Options" categories?
To activate 'Performance' and 'Developer Options' categories in Settings you need to tap 7 times on 'Build number' located into Settings -> About Phone.
How can i solve problems with Hebrew language?
Go to "Developer Options" in Settings and check "Force RTL layout direction".
What can i do to reduce the "echo effect" while in-call?
Try to reduce in-call earpiece volume (if possible).
I'm having problems with battery life, what can i do?
1) Use "Greenify" to hibernate all apps with a "little cloud + 'Gcm' word inside" on the right of each app's name. Donation version is recommended because it allows deeper hibernation of apps
2) Disable "Location" or set it to mode "Battery Saving" (Settings -> Location)
3) Make sure that your 2G/3G mobile network signal level isn't always low or unstable
4) Deny "Wake Up" and "Keep Awake" permissions to Google and third-party apps. (Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Press menu button and check "Show built-in apps" -> Press menu button again and go to Advanced -> Horizontal Scroll to Device)
5) Disable "Sync" or sync only useful stuff like Contacts
6) Disable "Auto-rotate screen" (Settings -> Display & lights -> Rotation)
7) Use one of the latest Modem/Baseband listed on first post.
8) Disable Ambient Display
9) Install Xposed Framework and configure Amplify
If this isn't enough then replace your battery and/or reduce your phone usage. :silly:
Is GearCM OTA supported?
Yes (Since 20150707 Build)
Why is my phone over-heating while playing heavy-games or running heavy-apps?
Use a bit your brain to explain why. High CPU and GPU usage = high heat production. Your phone will automatically throttle CPU when needed so don't worry, it is safe and normal.
Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?
No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.
Can i disable S-View cover features (lock/unlock)?
Not yet.
*** IR Remote app isn't working anymore/was working on previous builds/causes my phone to crash, what can i do?
Contact *** IR Remote app developer.
Any question about "Can't connect to camera" issue
Do not "stress" camera on CM because we don't use yet a proper implementation. Open/Close Camera apps carefully without force-closing them.
fix stock camera try flash this zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2a7hegwzu9ft2c/Fix_Camera_Cmmct_5.0.zip?dl=0
Been using lollipop as a daily driver with awesome results. But still there's something that bugs me. Although GPS works fine I find that its accuracy is pretty low.
For instance I run in order to keep fit. I use adidas miCoach which calculates your speed and distance covered giving as result km speed (from Argentina). GPS has a hard time keeping up with this and every time I train I revert to TW and then back to Lollipop.
Will test this GPS and see if its better than team Cajinica
does this rom have working bluetooth calls over car stereo?

Great. Downloading now[emoji1]
"App not installed" if manually install an apk.
Is there any workaround?
@Alberto96 haven't test it on GearCM 11. I'll try and report back asap
Can't install apks.
Although pushing apks to system works. Titanium backup in not able to restore as well.
Edit: I guess Titanium Backup does work. Not with the default superuser though. I flashed supersu to get it working in frapeti's rom, strange.

With GearCM 11 latest build GPS is pretty accurate. Used Waze while driving and miCoach while walking and had good results.
Further testing done with the build posted (20141216) I can't access SD card to install apks that are not from playstore for example BBS, and getting the low memory message even if full wiped and fresh installed.
Can't install APK in this Build ...
Storage Issues
@Alberto96 Hey man there seems to be an issue with your Kernel please take a look at the changes u made as they seem to be the cause of peope not being able to install any APKS and Install from playstore as its complaining about the storage being low so what i did is compile with CM kernel and tested it and the GearCm works fine without any storage issues but if I compile it using ur GearCm Kernel thats where theres storage issues. Please take a look at it
Thanks for your time and dedication of this Alberto. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time with your CM12 Releases
With CM12-20141212v2 (I did a clear wipe) and no RIL Service. So I was not able to use it basically...
Today I gave it a second try CM12-20141216 . I was happy to see my 3G Connection. But when I started to download the app from Play Store. It was impossible. All APKS giving an error.
I will test Canjica Version. It's a pity but I will have to wait till we get to a stable version of Android 5.0.1 with GearCM12.
Despite of that, Thanks for your work on this! We wouldn't have this if it wasn't because of you
Heads Up
Brilliant to have 5.0 on our phones, look and feel is really cool.
Confirmed Working:
Calls, SMS, Internet (WIFI & 3G), Camera, Gallery
FC's:
Music, File manager, Play store (all google apps) & anything else which is on the SD card
Keep it up guys:good:
Application not installed?
thanks for update 12\21 @Alberto96 ...but issue with installing apk is here.
New build is coming with some fixed, especially performance related.
New build is up!
Enjoy

Hi guys,
Thanks for your incredible work for the K6000 Plus!
I have a Doogee Y6. It uses the same kernel as K6000 plus. So, I've been trying to compile the k6000 plus kernel in order to work on my phone (I have made the necessary adjustments regarding my device's specific drivers such as LCM, Touchscreen, fingerprint etc.)
But I am running into errors. The compiler complains about not finding some files like: mt_gpufreq.h, cmdq_engine.h etc.
Can you assist me with this?
Thank you.
Great ROM! Many thanks for your work M.A.D team
I found one bug in camera. When you turn on HDR mode and after taking picture camera force close with toast: "Media server died, closing camera." but photo still save so not big deal
--- edit ---
More bugs:
1. I can't change cpu governor
2. WiFi icon and battery icon in statusbar are always black: - bug gone after restart
3. Phone freeze sometimes for a sec.

Thx for your feedback. I'll take a look.... Changing CPU governors is more than less just a left over from older phones... We may just remove this option. There aren't actually useful governors to switch to.
In which situations did it freeze?
Sent from my uhans h5000, running Android 8.0.0
I dont know why, but when i trying to boot in new TWRP recovery, the phone's screen just glows gray.
Can u help me with this? Firmware v23, bootloader unlocked. What's wrong?

Most often while scrolling (ex in app drawer or browser) and click on some button (ex keyboard). I think it can be releated to CPU hotplug.

You flashed the recovery from the download section, right?

Yes, of course.
Nope., it doesnt show anything. Oukitel logo - gray sreen. I changed the display on my phone(the old one cracked), maybe the reason is this?
Next two minor bugs:
1. Changing implementation of webview don't work. Phone always using chromium engine.
2. Normal reboot freeze phone. Soft and reboot to recovery works fine.
BTW: do you have some bug tracker ?
And one more:
Battery capacity are wrongly reported.

Webview implementation... We'll check as well, but that's not very important.
Does it always freeze? And where/when? During the new boot, or before shutting down?

@DerTeufel1980 my screenshot was made from above tool for devs but in car it look exactly the same
So you can use it to reproduce and debug the glitch.
One more thing related to car. Calls via car speakers not working. Music, call log, contacts working fine via Bluetooth but calls always switch to phone speakers/microphone.

The year is 2082. Society as we know it has collapsed and the world is but a nuclear wasteland. I haven't seen or talked to another human in weeks. Food is scarce and shelter is hard to come by... But life lingers on, even if just for a while longer, nature tries to heal itself with the little sunlight that manages to reach the ground through the dense clouds of soot. Last night I heard screams coming from the forest of dead pine trees, east of the abandoned glass factory. I'm not sure if they were human screams or the calls of an alternate, but I'm not eager to find out... I must hurry and head north, this place is no longer safe. To add insult to injury, I broke my only weapon while I was trying to cut down a few tree branches to light a fire... until I find materials to fix it, my possessions are my pet dog Alex, an half eaten can of beans and my ME173X running Android 69 with the latest security updates.
I'm waiting for the continuation and publication of this work in the form of a book.
Haha
This made my day
Cheers

This is great! Thank you so much! I never expected so much support for this tablet...
Unfortunately, I really need GPS so I have to wait for another build...
Thank you very much for providing builds for this tablet! The 13 build really helped us a lot, as our 2-year-old could watch downloaded Peppa Pig episodes from Netflix during long vacation drives. Although I did had to download a previous major version of the Netflix APK to get it to work on Android 6.
As this version doesn't have Widevine DRM, Netflix won't work, I guess. The current version of Netflix from the app store needs at least Android 7, so it would be nice if this new build would also support that in the future. Is it possible to flash that somehow, or would you need to compile that during build-time? If so, it that planned, or are there any technical difficulties regarding that?

First of all: thank you so much for giving us Andoid 7 for this old thing!
I just found out that Adaway won't install from F-Droid:
Error installing AdAway
Parsing apk file failed! Maybe minSdk of apk is lower than current Sdk? Look into logcat for more specific warnings of Android's PackageParser.
My observations of LG kernel up to 20220911
- battery charging VERY slow
- rotation sensor not working
- camera not working
- fast stock, slow with GAPPS
Maybe these are already on the todo list. Great to have A7 on this still usable tablet.

hi
rotation sensor not working :
Yeah this is stated on the "not working" status " > Sensors: accelerometer (autorotation)"
I could never fixed this sensor on my kernel
battery charging VERY slow
The device can be very picky with chargers, with the stock charger it can charge up to 1.2 AMP @ 5v
fast stock, slow with GAPPS
Yeah GAPPS really have an huge impact on devices, it runs really smooth without GAPPS installed
Google sucks
camera not working
This is very nice report ( Thanks ) every single user that reported me the front camera isn't working has an device with the LG screen...
I just bought my third ASUS ME173X and got it yesterday ( since my kid broke the second one .. )
unfortunately all my tablets have the same nt35521 Screen ( really hopping to grab an LG variant ) for testing :/

How can I find out, what screen our tablet has?
Plz help! I can't root this rom, can you give a manual or something? I've tryed everything

This is with the tablet plugged into the wall 24/7, sometimes it gets tired and stops charging
Don't mind the second pic, that's just it being used as a wireless monitor

You need to be running any of stock firmware with root rights.
There's many apps that facilitate the task like "deviceinfohw" , give the app root on settings, and on the main page it'll show you what LCM you device has.

So I switched to retrofit dynamic partition(aka super.img) and fastbootd(userspace fastboot).
It's logical and won't affect the real partition table which means you can still go mi flash for fastboot or 9008 to flash the system/vendor partiton for un-brick.
However this method DOES NOT support twrp.
To install/OTA update this ROM, you MUST use the pe recovery which is provided with the ROM.(For official, it is also a MUST for publishing, OTA update won't need flash again after/before rom flash, just need you keep the recovery)
For flashing recovery, use following command on your PC
fastboot flash recovery <img name>
Boot to recovery
Tap "Factory reset -> format data"（This will delete all your data! Only need for first time switch to PixelExperience）
Then tap Apply Update -> Apply from adb
Start sideload by following command on the PC
adb sideload <zip.name>
# Or you can just put ROM on a fat32/exfat/ntfs sdcard/usb otg and insert/plug it, then you can choose it in pe recovery like twrp.
If you see any "metadata" related error, just ignore it, it's common on the first dynamic partition flashing, and won't appear next time
To switch to other ROMs, format data in PE recovery first, and then install another recovery then the ROM.
Eg.
1. reboot to pe recovery -> Factory reset -> format data
2. Back to recovery home -> Advanced -> reboot to bootloader
3. flash another recovery such as twrp
4. press vol+ and power to boot recovery
5. do another factory reset (and a format data if it is twrp)
6. install(/sideload) another ROM's OTA zip like MIUI stock or LineageOS etc.(Warning: the ROM to install must have same kernel version with recovery. Eg. you can't use twrp-4.19 to format then install stock MIUI)
Stay tuned

History archive/Screen Overclock Image(Use it at your own risk! May damage device and have FASTER battery drain)
Android OS version: 13
Security patch level: May 2023
Build author/Device Maintainer: Alcatraz323
Special thanks to kyasu, pix106
Device Source code: Device
Kernel Source code: Kernel

ROM Developer: jhenrique09
FAQ:
1. How to enable/disable the task bar below?
Long press the space in taskbar or gesture indicator(the white bar)
2. Why 90/85/75/60Hz still laggy or feel like 30hz? Can you provide a overclocked image on pe website?
Google need warms up, so after you booted like for 5mins, it will be smooth on that refresh rate. Also don't give too much expectation on SDM660, it's just a mid-range cpu.
As for OFFICIAL version, I can't provide any overclock, so the full ROM package will be only provided with 60hz.
3. Why twrp get's error/Must use PE recovery?
Check the "ATTENTION" on #1.
4. What is 13 / 13 (Plus edition)?
The 13 (Plus Edition) NOT means it's for pad 4+, It's PE+, the 13、13 (Plus edition) both available for Mi Pad 4/4+. PixelExperience Plus will have more custom features.
Also, if you are already on normal edition, you can directly dirty flash the same date plus edition or newer plus edition.
5. How to solve heating/power drain too fast on idle?
Usually this won't happen when you clean flash this ROM, and often caused by LTE driver and a system application updated by the Google Play Store called: Android System Intelligence
So, just try enable airplane mode and uninstall the update for that app then reboot will solve (Settings - Application - Find "Android System Intelligence" and click top-right corner button)
6. Why there is always a {"Press any key to shutdown"/fastboot cmd error(like send size error something else} on PC when I try to do something in bootloader like flashing a recovery/unlocking bootloader?
Your USB port on your PC, your cable and your device is not matched. Like Mi Pad 4 is USB 2.0 but you connect to a PC with USB 3.X on that(Usually laptop user). Change your usb setup to match it same: PC USB2.0 cable USB2.0. Or you may google for USB3.0 Reg patch for xiaomi. I don't have it here.
7. How to flash certain partition with pe recovery? (like boot, frp, recovery, persist)
Use
fastboot flash partition_name partition_name.img
OR
In pe recovery:
Advanced - enable adb
Then On PC:
adb push partition_name.img /tmp
adb shell
dd if=/tmp/partition_name.img of=/dev/block/by-name/partition_name
8. Why I lost all my sensor/can't rotate screen after flash?
Clover has a fragile persist partition, sometime it will broken and cause these syndrome after a rom flash. It's not only happen when you flash pe, but flash any rom. Just flash a persist.img backup(yours' is best, but you can also download from others like from other's backup on xda post(like this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-mi-pad-4-unofficial.4514507/post-88228039), thanks ichigo_kurosaki), for the flashing instruction please check the #7 FAQ above.
9. Why my video recorded in 2160p(4k) can't playback(stucking)?
First of all, this device is originally support to 1080p30, the 60fps and 4k recording is force enabled, then SDM660 has a poor video decoder profile, some software may not try to decode 4k even it's announced 4k compatible, you may try playback the 2160p(4k) recordings from your computer, it will work. Or you may try some professional player like VLC.

Saw your patch on Gerrit for fixing launcher on tablets, I didn't realize that you have a clover!
perfect rom installed. I wanted to ask if you could build on kernel 4.19 and include the xiaomi parts to have screen color management and volume enhancement
( kernel 4.4 is no longer supported eol )

Screen refresh rate overclock, may damage device
Thank you for a great rom.
I installed version 2023-02-18 and during various tests, I noticed an issue with microphone sound not being input.
The test app used Google recorder, and it was able to record the bluetooth microphone, but not the mipad4 device microphone.

Will look into it
Thank you very much for the great work.
Very fluid and so far working perfectly.
It only lacks the play protect certification. Uncertified device.
I hope to give my Mi pad 4 tablet a long life with this ROM.
