GPS only works with MIUI, not with custom roms - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

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?

i dont know why it doesnt work for you, but i am running HAVOC https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/prepare-t3841106 and for me it works as it should and fast

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.

I was also on havoc. Even with mobile data / WiFi it can't locate me. So the whole location thing is not working

[Q] Problem with CM based ROM!

Hello. My wifi works perfectly fine on LG's stock firmware. But it isn't working for me on any other custom rom at all really. I've been googling a lot about it and I really can't find anyone else with this problem. What in the world is going on?

if security type is WEP, it's a known bug with no known possible solution - workaround is to switch to WPA security

It has nothing to do with my wifi. I can't turn on wifi at all. Like it's just grayed out. My wifi also didn't work on stock after I flashed a custom kernel. But it works with stock kernel

hmm, interesting. what roms did you try? did you do full wipe before installing custom rom? which kernel(s) did you try, both on stock and on custom roms?

I've tried official cyanogenmod, Xenon HD and PAC. I tried Iodak kernel on both CM and stock. Iodak kernel actually worked with wifi though on stock. I tried werewolf for cm (didn't work) and EternityProject for both cm and stock which didn't work

It is stock bro. There is no bug in stock. Everything works awesome. Everything.
I hope so, because when I had the marshmellow stock rom, those apps didn't work properly, so I had to downgrade to lollipop again.
Go for lineage os 7.1.2 r24.... It's completely bugless... Everything is working fine... I'm using it since 2 weeks didn't get any kind of bug or error.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a7000/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3605973

Yes, me too. After i move some apps to external SD card, they always have a "force close" error. I had to restart my A7k-a, error fixed. But after few hours (3, 4h or 5h or maybe 12h...), "force close" appears again. I'm on latest Ota ROM.

Yess, there is. I'm currently using the rom. It's called androium v1.3 unofficial. I've downloaded it from the needrom website. Everything is working: wifi, gps, bluetooth, led, hotspot, superuser, xposed, etc. It's even better than stock. It had no bugs (I've faced only one, sometimes flash does not start, but when you launch camera and focus with flash on then the flash gets fixed). Multitasking is even better than stock. Performance is awesome. I suggest you to download this rom if you do not like stock.
The latest RR works wonders.

It still got WiFi auto-disconnect bug...
I was using rrn 5.8.4 till 2 hours ago but I became sick of having to reconnect to WiFi every minute manually so I flashed lineage os 14.1 by Rohan. The latest loms one.:laugh:

IR blaster not supported by Custom Roms

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.

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.

Resurrection Remix 6.0.0 unofficial Oreo 8.1.0 Rom discussion

Hello there i'm using RR 6 unofficial by Arasthel https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=249040
Is FaceUnlock working for you? i got errors in logcat and it's not working for me.
here my setup :
twrp-3.2.1-0-chiron_raupe-20180218-1202_LOS.img
oreo_firmware_no_device_check.zip
RR-O-v6.0.0-20180222-chiron-Unofficial.zip
open_gapps-arm64-8.1-aroma-20180221-UNOFFICIAL.zip
edit after 2 weeks, rom is great and battery life is good, not issues at all except faceunlock not working and my usb headphones not working for calls but working for everything else.
Same issue for me. I tried faceunlock magisk module because it works fine with RR 6.0 on my s7 edge
Awesome !
ATM, is enought stable to use it as a daily driver? I mean, calls and camera (i don't want super quality, just something working) works ?
Thank you

I'm using it as daily driver. Stable, fast, no crash, camera with gcam is good and autofocus works fine.
Also battery is good with 6-8 SOT on 20h of usage

try again RR 6.0 and again this f***king battery drain ! but always when i dont use my phone ! It's
incomprehensible !
Have lost 20% of battery in 1 hour without use it ! The phone is warm when dont use and cold when i'm using it
i have good battery life, 2 days+ better than miui with all optimizations (memory/battery) off

Did you flash the MIUI firmware and kernel?
Someone else mentioned battery draining issues while roaming, maybe that's your issue too?

What is your exact flashing order? Did you do a completely clean flash or did you flash the kernel and FW without wiping and formatting data?
This is what I flashed, maybe try another clean flash and do exactly what I did

Just this wipe can resolve all ? I do a full wipe like every custom rom i have flash (since many years now), never do a format data

I believe a format data is pretty much necessary when coming from MIUI.

Can you please tell me what exactly you did that your gcam is working? i already tried everything possible, but only the old version 3.x.x from B-S-G is working. Every other Gcam is crashing on startup. I tried with and without magisk modules. I flashed different Kernels and Firmwares, cleared cache etc... but still crashing on startup.

For whatever reason I can still never receive calls. I can make calls, texts, data and whatever else...but I can't receive calls

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

Stick RR Remix would be your best bet for now until they start fixing the roms then everyone will be happy at last . ASOP extended Rom I flashed that and yes bootloops of course I know ..
