IR blaster not supported by Custom Roms - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

I just want to know why most of the Custom Roms for Redmi 4X aka Santoni doesn't support the IR blaster. I know the developers are doing their best but can we expect any Custom Rom with everything functional and bug free?

The problem with custom roms is that the ir blaster drivers are not being loaded by the rom. In simple terms the software part isn't communicating with the hardware part properly.. Hence you see the ir blaster as more of a hit or miss in custom roms.
Just wait patiently, it will be fixed for sure.

IR is working for some of the users.

Its not working on crdroid as well. Works fine in viper os

I've tried a few(RR, LOS, legend, citrus). And it worked fine on all. Maybe different h/w?

Yeah, quite possibly the hardware issue, as even I tried every possible ROM, everything was fine, except IR. I use it occasionally, as I am living alone and sometimes I misplace my TV or STB remotes
That's why I am forced to use MIUI.

Custom ROMs quality

Hey. I'm considering buying Mi 5, but I've been wondering about whether custom ROMs work just as well as stock in terms of performance, stability, photo, video and call quality. I have some pretty bad experiences with custom ROMs on LG G2, so that's why I'm asking.
None.
Thanks, vlad. Anyone else to confirm?

Wait. There are ROMs for this phone on XDA, so how can it be with a broken kernel? Unless you mean cracked.

currently most of them are based on Prebuild Xiaomi Kernel, our hard working devs are behind in fixing the broken kernel which was released my Xiaomi so within 2-3 months we may get stable custom roms

Aight, sry for being such a pain in the ass, but lemme ask one more time. The ROMs that are available now work, but are built on the prebuilt kernel, which doesn't allow us to have some neat features and that will be fixed in a few months?

its ok that you are asking ques as these forum are meant to be.
these custom roms are in beta stage & it will surely work as your daily driver except for few things like (camera doesnt take quality pics as does stock rom does, tap the home button will not take you to the home screen etc), yes the built on the prebuilt kernel doesn't allow us to have some neat features and currently devs are working on the kernels which is released by Xiaomi

Alright, that explains everything. Thank you!
I have been using my mi5 for a month and I am very satisfied with mui rom, it is stable, quick, and very good looking and has neat features, and miui keep updating their roms weekly and there is a clean version of their rom called Xiaomi.eu. For now, I don't see a reason for switching to CM roms. It is up to you anyway.

if it is possible, compile it yourself
LOL, whats going on with all those dots anyway?
MIUI9 works quite well with no critical bugs and can be deeply customised once you unlock the bootloader and get root access.
Battery life is nothing short of incredible with up to 7-8 hours of screen time (on wifi)
Well quite simple.... ALL custom roms, use LineageOS as a base.
So i gues that's your best bet.
Im testing LineageOS today for the first time, but have seen screenshots of people with 3day standby time, just like MIUI rom.

Bro. Is. Ir blaster and roming sim work? In lineage os
IR Blaster you can download from the play store, i have installed it, but not tested yet.
But i really don't know why it shouldn't work, since i have flashed the V0.25 for all sensors and stuff.
Roaming is a standard feature so i gues that should work with all roms?
After testing RR, ParanoidAndroid, dotOS I'm now on AEX with no bugs to this moment.

If you flash LineageOS the right way (with firmware and Gapps) it works amazing!
I get !!!more then 3days!!! standby time, the UI of LineageOS is clean, and so far i haven't find any bugs or something.
For a unofficial release, it works flawlessly!

what bugs did you expedience with stock miui 8.5 global stable ?
i have tried them all and in my observation is the best ROM, i know its not popular in XDA forums, and most of the time its true... but in this case, on my Redmi 4x, i prefer rooted stock ROM over others.

Install DOT os. Its bugless and smooth rom. but it has less customization because of it is first build.
I always reccomend to use miui 9, which is bug free and customizable rom.
AEX 4.6 is the best custom ROM till now, you should give it a try.

Treble Note 9

Just a quick question. I can't seem to get GSI's to boot on my note 9. Had no problems running any pie based GSI on my s9 plus. Is there a specific vendor I need to use on the note 9 for treble?
Any help would be appreciated

Yeah that's what I've got same as on the s9. Trying to run pixel experience p but I get stuck at Sammy bootloop. Wasn't sure if it could be a vendor issue but as far as I remember vendor didn't matter on the s9.

Does anyone know which treble roms are stable?
Wish RRemix worked but it has a strange low brightness bug.

did you find anything that works?
I tried Lineage, RRemix and OmniRom. all were working fine but all had the same brightness bug, stock camera also flickers & green screens when taking video, I dont remember on which rom.
I also tried pixel experience, the brightness was stuck on high, better than nothing, so if you want to use it you can give it a shot.
From @Dil3mm4 on his GSI rom built
The problems you will face with Descendant are the same that you may face on any other ROM based over Phh work.
So, don't blame me, blame your OEM about their poor Treble implementation

From @phhusson comment on note 9 brightness bug issue
Thanks for the report. Nice to have AOSP directly working on that
Brightness should be fixed in next release. I might forget to integrate it, please complain if i do.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you are not a noob like me, you might find the files to flash on his github, since it looks like fixed, just waiting on his next rom release for these roms..
Reporting Bugs to @phhusson will help, probably least we can do, he mentioned creating Issue here
I will also do myself after testing more.
thing is the more people use it and report bugs, I believe it'll be a smoother experience for people who flash GSI roms later on the note9, and a great thanks to @phhusson, redoing samsungs lousy work. he deserves a huge thanks from the community.
Actually today I tried one more ROM, it from the same dev phhusson, here is the link
not only it is Android 9, it is stable enough to be used as a daily driver, I moved to it, Didnt want to post until I was sure.
So everything works, wifi, BT, hotspot, Sim, SD, Brightness Control, Mic, The Spen works as a mouse, HDMI, Fingerprints ..etc
what I found is buggy:
- the camera app(green flicker): you can use a third party camera app
- when you open the camera in Messaging to attach something.
One drawback to consider is Android P doesnt support Xposed yet. back to waiting for xposed support! =(
in fact I might keep using this, until Lineage OS 15.1 GSI gets fixed.

I have not. I've tried all the roms you've tried with the same results. I don't really have much time to tinker with roms now a days due to work but maybe some time next week I'll start a bounty to spark things up. The hardware on the Note 9 is just begging to be tampered with lol and it being the first Note with Treble Support really is "The Next Big Thing" :victory:

GPS only works with MIUI, not with custom roms

Hey,
If I flash a custom ROM (lineage, havoc...) GPS isn't working. I'm now back on MIUI 8.11.23 (Pie). Is there anything I can do to fix GPS?

for me also work on most custom roms in havoc aswell including agps
Hello !, in my case it works with custom roms but only fixed the gps system about 15 satellites as much, however with the roms miui fixes me up to 36 satellites !! it is clear that with the custom roms it seems that the fixation of one of the bands does not work, I do not know if L3 or L5, but both at the same time do not work.

Solution there is none since all the roms have bugs
Music stutter on standby, Bluetooth for calling or flash light or camera issues on some Roms. I have flashed alot of Roms already and no update to any of the Roms since it's been out. So I'm running a Rom right now that has issues and that music on standby stutters but thankfully some one showed me how to fix Bluetooth and the distorted music but still it stutters on standby which no one as of yet got it fixed . I have also pm dev's about the Roms and some are working on it on the next release and some haven't pm me back to let me know if there gonna update there Roms. Waiting patiently:silly:

None I would say ..they all got problems like I said so if you want you can use AICP Rom or lineage 15.1 but they have Bluetooth issues that's about it ..calling by Bluetooth won't work if you don't mind that . Phusson , pixel , bootleggers, RR Remix all got issues there is a site called GitHub with more Roms on there that you can also use GSI Roms but still with the same issues with Bluetooth .
i don't use bluetooth, i rarely use for send media but nowadays everyone has apps for that and a lot faster...
i tried with aosp extended pie and bootloop
now im testing RR oreo, seems smooth
the pixel experience goes too laggy
EDIT: RR Oreo, it's hard to configure fingerprint, and when it's done, doesn't unlock
EDIT 2: Fingerprint is working, but as you said, audio stutters while playing, so i'm back to the boring Lenovo stock rom
