Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

Works perfectly on ANL1.
Also, it's compatible with M-Audio Keystation 32 Mini, if anybody was curious about that.

If you've flashed the kernel image, use the Synapse app to turn the feature on. It is located under the "Extra Features" page.
While the device is in sleep mode(screen off), you can double tap anywhere on the screen to wake it up instead of using the power button or home button. It is meant to be more convenient, but drains extra power whilst active. You should get about 12 hours of average usage with the right settings, as opposed to about 20 hours when the feature is off.

Thx, Curtis! is it use an accel. to awake?

No, accelerometer is not used, only the touchscreen, light and proximity sensors.

The feature makes use of the light and proximity sensors in order to detect whether the device is in a dark enclosed place (eg. A pocket) and disables itself in these situations as well in order to prevent accidental wakes

In short: No.

After rebooting, WiFi configuration is deleted and I need to put again the password. This also happens when disabling WiFi and re-enabling it. Is this a bug related to the kernel, or can I solve it I another way?
Also wanted to know if it's possible to add ambient display.
Apart from this, no further problems

It's just for checking if there is a flip cover or something covering the screen.
Other use of proximity sensor and light sensor are not to wake while on pocket

Explanation:
This is related to the Samsung Secure Storage feature on their ROMs. Basically, for security reasons, any reasonably personal data(eg. Private Mode files, S Health data, Wifi Passwords) are kept in an encrypted container. This container gets invalidated if Knox detects any changes to the system and locks out potential hackers. Flashing a kernel after the system has been setup counts as a change. While this feature's intentions are admirable, it just presents problems for the type of people that use XDA.
Fix:
Luckily, this feature can be disabled with a build.prop tweak, namely
Change
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=true
To
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=false
This will cause the previously mentioned data to be stored in the regular Android manner, but unfortunately, any data that was in secure storage will now be erased.
As far as I know, ambient display is a ROM feature? Never heard of it and the kernel in the same sentence to be honest.

Okay thank you
About the ambient display, I'm quite noobish in this, but thank you for explaining

Is double tap in status bar to sleep also ROM related or can it be applied to this kernel?

It is indeed ROM based. There's an xposed module to enable it on OEM ROM's though:

How can I install xposed?
I have android 5.1.1 and tried wanam xposed yesterday, but got bootloop after installing framework.
Got my sd card and downloaded xposed uninstaller on it, to see if I could get out of the bootloop, but this didnt work and I had to flash the stock firmware, root, recovery and custom kernel.
Any suggestions of what could have caused this?

Sorry. TWRP version seems to matter a lot when flashing xposed

So if I use TWRP 2.8.1.0 instead of 3.0 it should work, or do I have to flash it with another custom recovery?
EDIT:
I tried TWRP 2.8.7.0, but it didn't also work.
Instead, I got it to work with an old CWM I found. With it, I came out from the bootloop without erasing (again) all my data :highfive:
Thank you for telling it was the recovery, it made everything for me for looking for an answer a looooooooot quicker

There is still the problem with the audio?

For me, there is no ro.securestorage.support=true line. I added it with false, but nothing changed.

Sorry for delay. As long as you're running touchwiz, the line should be present. What PDA and CSC are you running?

I think this happened cause I used Barebone Cleaner and removed Knox, but I don't know. When I set up my phone again and didn't flash Barebone Cleaner, the line was still present. Anyway it's set and working now.

Was this v19? There was known issues with this, and other ROMs based on the Community ROM N7105 Port.
v20 is out now and is based on a proper I9305 based firmware, and doesn't seem to have the known Youtube issues.
The Power disconnect issue is still around I think (unfortunately) but this a kernel-based problem which I can't fix.
At the moment, custom bootanimation doesn't exist in v20 until a hack is done for it.
yes. v19
thanks for answering the rest
got confused - re boot animation " Remove Samsung / Carrier Bootanimation (allow for custom Bootanimations) "

I'm researching this at the moment. Hopefully there is a way I can fix the ROM so I don't have to use a third-party app to do it. Worse case scenario I'll search the Play Store and see what I can find.
Doesn't boot
Hey,
I just tried to flash your 20.10 version on my I9305, formerly running TGP 4.3. I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.0 Recovery.
Flashing works fine. But the phone doesn't boot up. I also did the Full wipe (Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage) but all I see when booting up is the "Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE" Screen and then the screen goes and stays black.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here?
Edit: I'm on old bootloader and tried different installation options.

With TWRP 2.6.3.0 it works (2.7.0.0 has some problems with showing aroma files corectly om i9305)
I installed version 20.01 now which works fine. No idea why it doesn't work with 20.10.
Does not connect to the computer

Hi. I'm new here Get me beautiful [=
I installed the ROM v20.10 all works very well.
But I connect the phone to a computer to transfer files. It only charges battery. I did not connect memory card or cell phone why?

A few errors.
Hi all! I flashed this rom a while back and have had a few errors. I did flash the proper modem and all and everything is fairly smooth. I'm not sure if I'm just being too picky, but I'd like to give my feedback and get some opinions...
I really enjoy the standard wanam and exposed installer options!
The errors:
Occasionally, i get repetitive notifications of my text messages. I will view a text message, dismiss the notification and i will get a random notification a few hours later, no new message...
Another problem i have had is with one particular messaging app called line. When i get an onscreen notification (one that pops up even if the display is a sleep), follow the shortcut to view the message, unlock the screen and reply, the keyboard doesn't register text. The predictions will show up but no yext is entered until i exit and re enter the app from the hone screen. This only happens with this app and no other apps that require text input. I have changed the keyboard and reinstalled the app, checked and reset settings... Everything i can think of short of reinstalling the rom. I suppose it could be an incompatibility issue, a bad install of the rom, or the rom has a glitch as far as allowing for this screen off pop-up to app transition.
Beyond that, it's a great development. Thank you!
Feedback and suggestions :
I would love it if there were a few notification bloats removed. For instance, the persistent and annoying earphones connected shortcut notification, the on screen wifi connected notification and the data roaming off (or something to that effect). I have checked and searched for work arounds for these abd couldn't dig anything up. The horrendous touchwiz in this version has seemed to strio away some options that were previously there...
Keep up the good work!
5*
Its working fine the new update !

Fantastic! Finally we've got a rom of our very own, for which you've got my immense thanks. I'm very much looking forward to trying it out.
Unfortunately when I flashed it there was a loooong wait on the Samsung logo, and then... Well, after an hour I booted back to recovery to start over.
I honestly don't think your rom was the problem though, because from some point last night everything I tried - custom rom flashing and nandroid backup restores - wound up the same way. Odin + stock + root got a usable system at least, and today's been too busy to try again. But when I do I'll post back about how it goes.
(Sadly, I can't go back in time to see what order I did things and look for a pattern if this happens again. In case it might be useful to anyone, I know for sure I'd gotten stock set up comfortably and made a complete backup before giving thunderoar's T113 kernel a whirl, and that went swimmingly. Even had mounts2sd properly recognizing external sd set up after a long struggle, though not actually enabled yet. Don't know what else i did between making that backup and trying to flash this, but it's likely I just screwed something up somehow.)

Upgrade your firmware to PH5 before flash and use TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Firmware: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T113
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/goyave/
Wipe all partition in TWRP:
System, Cache, Dalvik and if you can internal Storage.
Thunderoar Kernel isn't compatible with PH5 firmware for the moment.
Let me know how it goes
Thanks so much for responding even though I didn't specifically ask.
Pretty much all my knowledge comes from following instructions in these forums and piecing little bits of information together, so I've got a few questions - trying to understand the "why" behind these things in order to be more self-sufficient. Please feel free to point me towards resources where I can learn more!

When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
Wikipedia:
A boot loader is a computer program that loads an operating system or some other system software for the computer after completion of the power-on self-tests; it is the loader for the operating system itself. Within the hard reboot process, it runs after completion of the self-tests, then loads and runs the software. A boot loader is loaded into main memory from persistent memory, such as a hard disk drive or, in some older computers, from a medium such as punched cards, punched tape, or magnetic tape. The boot loader then loads and executes the processes that finalize the boot. Like POST processes, the boot loader code comes from a "hard-wired" and persistent location; if that location is too limited for some reason, that primary boot loader calls a second-stage boot loader or a secondary program loader.
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

The latest update for your country is PA5. Try with THIS.
Your country code is XAC.
The CSC (Sale Country Code) Is that part of the firmware that contains all the telephone operator customizations (e.g. WAP, MMS) for the intended country. As far as i know, It is not important for us.

Yes, the Recovery can make the difference.
I've been wiping Data as well - is that not necessary?
Does wiping Internal Storage have a big effect? I suppose there's a fair bit of app-specific stuff in there that could cause issues?

I forgot to write data, my bad! But i wrote it in the instructions in the first topic. For personal experience i had different issues when I didn't formatted the Internal Storage. The Android folder, .thumbnails and others, can create issues.

I'll reply more later, but wanted to report that it's installed and running very smoothly! Haven't played around much but will do at home later.
If you've got any tips for getting mounts2sd up and running I'd really appreciate it!

Yup, that's the app I'm using, but haven't been able to get my external partition mounted properly. I did manage it once, think it was with thunderoar's kernel though.

Life has gotten in the way of playing around with this, but thought I'd send you an update as I said I would...
Your rom is running really nicely on my tablet as I use it daily. It's smooth and small, with no unexpected reboots or fc's on installed apps. Didn't wipe internal SD but it hasn't given me any issues with existing data (probably because there wasn't much to start with).
One thing that has caused a problem is calendar sync. It looks like you've taken out the actual syncing service, so when I try to access my calendars through any app I'm asked to add a new Google account, even though everything's already set up in "Accounts" under Settings. I haven't tried running the "calendars.providers.apk" from my other phone, that should fix the problem - but I don't want to use the wrong version and break something!
Also, I've confirmed that the only time I got mounts2sd working, it was with thunderoar's kernel. So guess that's going to have to wait.
A few adjustments I made to the setup were to uninstall all "unnecessary" system apps (not needed to run the device), and re-install them from the store. This way I've got 676mb free on /system and still over 1.5GB free on internal storage.
I've also added a multi-reboot menu to make getting into recovery or download mode simpler, and this is loading more quickly on your rom than stock. I've also had to modify permissions.xml to allow apps to access external storage by default, and made another tweak to disable the "loud volume warning" (don't remember quite what it was offhand).
Would you consider adding these to a future version?
Again, thanks SO much for putting this together, answering questions, and doing your thing. It's greatly appreciated!

The calendar sync issue should be fixed in the next update.
Anyway, If I have enough time, the next update should contain a lot of new features. Your suggestions are already planned :good:
Jimbus369 said:
When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
....
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

One more question about this: The way you've worded the second paragraph seems to imply only that older bootloaders don't work with newer roms, so are newer bootloaders backwards compatible? Say I've got the PH5 bootloader installed and I want to restore a backup of the previous firmware, do I have to flash that firmware first?
Sorry if it seems obvious, this is how we learn!

Absolutely it isn't obvious, don't worry . The Bootloader, for my personal experience, are backwards compatible. I don't have a scientific knowledge about this, but for what I did with other device it can work. Just try :fingers-crossed:, don't forget a full backup.

T113/T113nu and T116/T116ny have a similar codename and hardware (The recovery have goyave codename, therefore any rom with goyave codename can be flashed). For the hotspot, maybe some missing libraries, a different driver or a different kernel makes hotspot broken. Try to restore your kernel from a previous backup.

[GUIDE] A Potential Fix for High CPU + Battery Drain on LOS/AOSP/OOS 7.x-based ROMs

I've been seeing constant complaints around the OnePlus 3's development section of the forums regarding an unusual high CPU usage and massive battery drain on different ROMs. These reports are posted in the custom kernels thread.
flar2's ElementalX kernel thread (now locked unlocked):
[link removed]
eng.stk's blu_spark kernel thread:
[link removed]
The reports mostly state that "(insert kernel name) gives high CPU usage, battery drain, etc." flar2 and eng.stk both say it's not the kernel, yet every custom ROM seems to have issues with this strange "bug". Even stranger, it only affects some users.
So what gives?
To preface, I'll be as verbose as I can about my experience with this: I had this exact issue with the CPU nearly maxing out and massive battery drains on LOS/AOSP-based ROMs. I clean-flashed Resurrection Remix, DU, Citrus, and CypherOS, and I even tried flar2's EX kernel, blu*spark, and stock kernel that ships with the ROMs; every one of them had this problem. On average, I use my phone daily, but not really heavily (I don't play games, but I either web browse, Youtube, or calling/text), so I found it odd that my phone's battery drops from 100% to 72% every time I get up in the morning and down to 15% after only 2 hours of using my phone. I thought this was strange since I never had this problem before. I checked my phone's battery stats (Settings -> Battery) and didn't find anything strange. I blamed CM/LOS and switched to AOSP, same issue. From there was a full day and half of switching ROMs, swearing, and confusion. What I should've done from the start was check the logcat because the solution was literally written all over the logcat.
Something related to the modem was silently crashing in the background.
It would restart again and again, crashing every 5-10 seconds or so. It would comment something about com.phone.android - I forgot to save a screenshot of the message
but nevertheless this error was 5-6 lines long and was scattered all over the logcat. Again, silent crash: no (processes) has stopped, unfortunately, (processes) has stopped, etc). This would explain why my device never entered deep sleep and sky-rocketed the CPU frequency.
To conclude, I firmly believe the high battery drain and CPU usage is actually caused by Oxygen OS's 4.0.x firmware, NOT THE KERNEL. When I switched to 3.2.8 firmware or 3.5.5CE my issue was completely fixed - 10 hours of SOT and very good performance using the EX kernel +AKT combo. I think the reason why some people have this problem and others don't is because they're on different firmwares. Through testing, 4.0.x has these problems whereas 3.5.5CE and 3.2.8 does not.
I want to note that I did not test stock Oxygen OS. The firmware downgrade solution may also not work for you - hence why the thread's title name is "a potential fix". Some users on FreedomOS, Experience, or other custom Oxygen-based ROMs have reported two approaches to fix battery and CPU usage:
The modem/phone errors on firmware 4.0.x could be limited to custom AOSP/LOS ROMs. Using an older firmware may cause Oxygen OS Nougat to not boot anymore, so backup everything and make sure you have a restore point before trying my fix.
TL;DR: This is NOT a kernel issue. Don't blame flar2, eng.stk, or anyone but OnePlus. I believe this is a bug in OnePlus' Nougat firmware. Until OnePlus fix this, I urge everyone to flash either 3.2.8 or 3.5.5 firmware and see if the High CPU usage and battery drains are gone on custom AOSP/LOS ROMs. You can try downgrading firmware on Oxygen OS - but please backup and make a restore point if the ROM does not boot (I did not test stock Oxygen OS). If you're on Oxygen OS, I suggest you try using phhh's root and changing SELinux Policy to permissive first (though SELinux should be enforced) before downgrading firmwares. OnePlus needs to fix their unstable firmwares (and release Camera blobs, etc)!
STEPS:
0. If you're on Oxygen OS, try phhh root and changing SELinux policy to permissive first. If that doesn't work, or if you're not on Oxygen OS, go to the next step.
1. Go to jamal's firmware/modem collection: (link removed)
2. Click the Android 6.x button.
3. Click link to download Firmware + Modem zip 3.2.8 OR 3.5.5CE (I recommend 3.2.8).
4. Flash in TWRP recovery (any recovery version works).
5. Reboot and enjoy better battery life and no high CPU usage
5a. If you set a lockscreen with PIN, chances are that you won't be able to get pass the lockscreen; in that case, reboot back to TWRP recovery, mount /system, use the built-in filemanager to navigate to /data/system, and delete the 5 gatekeeper/lockscreen files.
5b. If your ROM kernel panics after flashing firmwares (screen suddenly goes black, reboots), delete the init.d folder.
UPDATE:
I've been doing some testing with the OOS 4.0.x firmware and I think I found out the issue!
I kept getting the same battery drain on LOS/AOSP-based ROMs. Reading the thread, it seems hardly anybody has this issue on newer firmwares. At first, I thought it was an F2FS issue. I started from scratch by wiping everything (including the internal storage), changed the /data partition to ext4, and upgrading TWRP. When I booted the ROM afterwards and let my phone sit for a few hours, I still had that strange error with the CPU behaving abnormally and battery drain. So I took to the logcat and started searching.
The error that generated heat and battery drain from OOS 4.0.x's firmware is the following:
Code:
Sending non-protected broadcast com.android.imsconnection.DISCONNECTED from system 2019: com.android.phone
com.android.phone? That's familiar....remember how I said in the OP it was a modem issue? But just above the error has this message:
Code:
ImsSenderRxr : Response data: [12, 13, -1, ...
That's Enhanced 4G LTE Mode! All I needed to do was flip the switch OFF and viola! All errors gone, CPU stable and minimal battery drain. Oxygen OS does not error out like this, so I'm certain this "issue" is exclusive to just LOS/AOSP.
Looking at the OP I realize how silly this thread is. I could've just attached the logcat into the Q/A thread and asked for help, done deal. My apologies everyone. If you downgraded the firmware to try this "fix", upgrade back!
For people running Oxygen/Freedom/Experience OS: if you have drain, this fix still applies to you:
Use phh's superuser instead of SuperSU
Using the command:
Code:
su
setenforce 0
or using init.d scripts to change SELinux's policy to permissive
If /data is F2FS, try changing it to EXT4
I'm open to discussion - did this solution work for you? Anyone try this on Oxygen OS? Or perhaps you have a different solution? Comment below, or use the poll! That will help me when I create future OP threads
Instead of complaining appreciate the efforts of eng.stk and flar2. Some are spoonfeed they don't want to search. Thank you for posting this!

I've had this issue as well. I went from Experience Rom to Stock 4.0.2 since when I used Xceed the CPU load didn't go below 60%. But this is not a kernal issue.
I have flashed the 3.2.8 firmware+modem over OB11 and did not experience any bootloops. We'll see how battery fares.
The issue is in 99℅ of the cases the one described by @NevaX1 here, do his solution and all will be perfect my CPU finally dropped to 300mhz.

Well I tried this fix and it doesn't seem to work.. I'm currently on Oos 4.0.2 rooted and bluspark r32 kernel and I still have the hand warmer.. Heat is just reeks from all parts of phone :/
That's just a workaround and for example flar2 didn't recommended to run SELinux in that mode.
@kentexcitebot, did you tested stock ROM provided by OP? I might try it because I don't see in OP foruns people complaining about this battery drain and I'm curious how this relates to custom ROMs only, when in the end they are based on stock.

When you send the su command did it ask you, and you gave root permissions? Also if you use ARISE you must go to titanium backup and freeze an app called something like arkansysaudio, my spelling might be little off. I clean flashed Experience 10.1 then bluespark r32, then magisk and then phh root for magisk(latest) all was perfect but there was heat etc, after the nevax1 solution that was also gone. Phone is now perfect and passes safetynet security (snapchap, pay, etc)
Edit: In order to use magisk and phh root, you must completely remove supersu(it has an option in the app). So best way should be
0.flash the twrp 3.0.4
1.Flash rom
2.Flash bluspark r32
3.Reboot
4.Extract stock boot.img feom the rom you flash(open it via file Manager, its the first file you see)
5.Go to SuperSU app settings and completely remove it, and say no when it asks to restore boot.img
6.reboot to recovery
7.select install and change to image install, choose the boot.img you extracted and flash it in boot partition when it asks.
8. Flash kernel
9. Flash latest magisk(10.2 at the moment)
10. Flash latest "phh for magisk"
11.reboot
12. Install phh app from play store
13.open magisk and it should ask for root via phh Interface and then show you that magisk a d root are functional (you can test safetynet security on there too with one button)
14. Open terminal and run "su"( it will ask permission), and after that run "setenforce 0"
15. Profit, all should be perfect and you can enjoy it even safetynet free
Optional: download AKT PROFILES 1.2 app(not zip) and install. Run it give it root, and restart it. After that run it choose ballanced or battery saving profile of your choice for even greater battery and smoothness.

Yes there was a prompt, obviously I won't be using kernel without being rooted..
Anyway I don't use any mods you mentioned yet the problem is still there... It has just decreased now.. Now it depends on my phones mood when to start heating up..
Same here, after the workaround I can't feel that much the heat but the drain is clearly there. Android System was taking 45% of the drain. Using FreedomOS with blu_spark kernel and no mods except Adaway.

Like I wrote in the OP, I do not recommend changing the SELinux policy. I also mentioned in the OP that I did not test Oxygen OS, reason being that OOS 4.x seems like a rushed product (so I put no time investing to flash OOS). Since I haven't flashed OOS, I wrote on the bottom of the OP if anyone has modem errors popping up in the logcat. My "fix" is to simply downgrade to a stable firmware (3.2.8 preferably).
Looking at the comments so far, I think Oxygen OS may not be affected by the modem bug. I'll wait and see what people write in the comments and will edit the OP if necessary. Maybe try flashing the firmware, then clean flash the ROM?
EDIT: I just edited the OP so the phhh root workaround is more visible!

Yes he doesn't recommend it for safety reasons, but it is far worse to run the phone in a max cores overheating state, it will at some point damage the motherboard and other components. So either this for now or downgrade to another version. Also people with stock op rom have it too, not all though, same with custom roms guys, not all face the issue. And im also suspecting it cam be related yo the kernels not managing selinux properly, but again, some people with custom kernels said ot worked out of the box.

Hello OP, thanks for getting this point out. I never liked blaming on things which we use for free , plus the devs put a lot of effort.
I have few questions. I'm kind of novice.
I'm on Experience ROM v9.6 with SuperSu 2.78 and modified twrp.
Can I flash the 3.5CE modem over it? I'm kind of scared with Op3.
I don't have anything beside it.

There won't be any feedback, but if you go into Settings and to About Phone, then scroll to the bottom, you'll see that SELinux policy changed from "enforcing" to "permissive".

Try using phh root and changing SELinux first before downgrading the firmware. Don't worry about hard-bricking your OnePlus 3 - I've done bad things like flashing a OnePlus 3t version of custom ROMs (not unified) and I got out of it
Instead of updating old firmware and all, try the following to fix the issue permanently. Will persist across reboots as well -
Extract ElementalX / blu_spark kernel zip
append the following to cmdline parms
Code:
androidboot.selinux=permissive
Repackage and flash from TWRP
File is present at following location in the either zips -
ElementalX - boot/cmdline.sh
blu_spark - kernel/blu_spark_tweaks.sh
Before
Code:
androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x237
After
Code:
androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 androidboot.selinux=permissive msm_rtb.filter=0x237

It doesn't looks like we have the same version of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. On my European SM-P910; I already tried both of you roms and it's always a boot loop. I tried different version of the stock rom before flash (XAR) and with blank vbmeta.tar with factory reset or/and cache but it never works for me. Like the other guy for the AOSP I go back to stock.

Greetings!
I successfully managed to install the lineage rom on my SM-P610. Initially i faced infinite boot-loop even after doing a factory reset in the recovery. After some experiments, i made it work. Heres what is did to get it work.
1. First, unlock and root your device. Use the method mentioned in the other xda thread. It works.
2. Keep your rooted boot.img safe.
3. Download the lineage os tar from the thread.
4. Using 7-zip, open the tar package and delete the included boot.img fiile,
5. Replace the boot.img with the rooted boot.img obtained from the first step.
6. Flash the modded lineage package with Odin 3.14.1-3b patched under AP (do not check the re-partition in ODIN).
7. After reboot, boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
8. After a couple of reboots, Lineage logo should appear
Will write what works and what doesn't in my next post.
Thanks to @Awesomeslayerg for porting Lineage OS and AOSP to Tab s6 lite. It is really good to see a snappy lineage ROM for the device. Good Work! :highfive:
Here is the list what works and what doesn't.
The ROM is comparatively faster and snappy although the Geekbench results are identical with the stock rom. The reboot time is at par with the stock and the rom is stable. No random reboots or app crashes whatsoever.
Here are the stuff that works
Spen with pressure sensitivity works. Checked with Penup and bamboo paper app.
Can use SD card as primary storage but it is quite buggy. The apps on the SD card always crashes.
Battery backup is way better compared to stock.
Widevine is L1. Netflix HD content playback works.
Dual stereo speakers works.
Double tap to wake works as well
Comes with minimal gapps
All Bluetooth accessories work.
cts profile verification in magisk is "true".
Here is what doesn't work (or might be buggy).
The mouse pointer rather than the dot on the screen. Not sure whether there is a workaround
Magnetic flip cover doesn't work
GPS doesn't seem to work.
Cannot format SD card and use it as a portable media. upon formatting, it always shows "corrupted".
Camera is basic.
Hope you will find this info helpful.

Thanks alot will add this to the list
Thanks again to @Awesomeslayerg for making this rom. Here is a couple of points from my experience.
I flashed from linux using heimdall, which may be why my experience was different than @gauthamrgramalingam.
To flash I just followed the directions and, unlocked the bootloader, went to download mode a flashed. I didn't need to do all the extra steps that @gauthamrgramalingam listed. I did have to factory reset 2 times though, once from the bootloader and once from in lineage. Here are the things I've noticed:
1. Wifi doesn't seem to be working on 5g and seems to have some disconnects, also seems like I can't connect on lower bands of 2.4g, like channel 1.
2. GPS works great for me, no issues
3. Screen brightness, this is hard to confirm, but it at least SEEMS dimmer than stock firmware. I tried adjusting with the treble settings but that didn't seem to do anything.
4. netflix doesn't play videos for me at all. in info, it does show wildvine L1 or w/e and says it'll play HD but when I play a video I just get a generic error and it never plays. I've reset and reinstalled netflix to no avail.
5. SD card is weird, if I format it as portable, I run into the same issues that have been discussed, however if I format it as "phone storage" it seems to work somewhat. Can't seem to move apps to it, but I can put other files on it. Not sure whats going on.
Anyways, thanks again, I thought i would give my feedback to see if it helps.

5ghz wifi works fine for me. I wont br able to fix these issues sadly as i dont have time to research and fix. To be honest i just learned how to build a kernel from samsungs sources. But thanks for the feedback

I forgot to ask, does this have root? because I was trying to do some debugging on the issues but I can't seem to get a root shell in adb.
Messing with it more, couple updates:
1. wifi 5g confirmed working.
2. netflix still not working at least for me.
Magnetic cover, might be due to SELINUX. I see this in the adb debug:
kworker/5:2: type=1400 audit(0.0:2321): avc: denied { open } for path="/sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key/hall_detect" dev="sysfs" ino=45321 scontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tcontext=ubject_r:sysfs:s0 tclass=file permissive=0
the magnetic cover might use the hall sensor, but not sure. There is another sensor that is getting AVC denied as well. Worth a look.

ANDROID 11

Which custom rom is best for redmi note 8 in ANDROID 11
Opinions are different from person to person. You should do a research on this subject then choose anything to your taste. Easier this way than asking someone. In this way you'll gain knowledge and you'll be able to provide tips and advises to others.
Anyway, you should stay away from the latest update to A11 from Xiaomi!!! The official update is garbage!!! I regret so much doing this step... lost some useful and basic functions. Looks like their devs are stupid really... or just hate their customers.
Just try whatever you thing is ok for you.

There must be something that makes your device smooth... maybe rom variant? Locked bootloader??
Share us more details please.

1. In your opinion it is better to install V12.0.4.0 with android 10 or stay on V12.0.2.0 with android 11?
2. After installing MagiskHide Props Config v6.0.2-v132 (72), will I have trouble adding a credit card to gpay? (on android 11)?

Managed to install Magisk again (older version...), gain root and activated OTA survival on OrangeFox Recovery. So far, no issues but still afraid to try A11 again...

what were your problems?
best thing for me is setting phone to airplane mode and it lets bt on if was connected before.
and really nice and smooth system
Well, there were several bugs on my device which I was unable to sort them out and decided to go back to 12.0.4.0...
Most annoying one was the impossibility to share a file from file manager by swiping up to a file... A message came on screen telling me there is no app to handle the action on my personal profile or something like that... Whaaat?
Another bug was the 3 fingers screenshot option... Not there... Just not working... Or dynamic icons... This function also was not available anymore...
I had no patience digging for bugs, was pissed and flash the goddamn device with the previous working version of android... Was so angry that I forgot to back up my data and lost all my personal files!!!
But of course, I did not factory reset my device after A11 update... This move, should not exist!!! Why this option is never applied on iphones??? Of course they're not perfect but update after update and never, ever had issues with the device and never had to factory reset it after a major update.... Jesus Christ, this android....
well. i understand that.
3 fingers screenshot can be activated from notifications.
funny thing is possibility to activate new notification centre. its not there. unless you look for it in search. funny thing - your phone has to be in english
i was android developer for 3 years and I like this system just because these possibilities.
im rooted. i can edit hosts file and make adblock perfect and simple.
but for normal people just for using phone there is iPhone. its simple and working.
or also samsung devices are quite good but pricey
About 3 fingers screenshoot: The option was enabled in my device, so even if it was active, the function did not worked!
start camera from lock screen was moved to double volume up but also not working. ist still beta
