Custom ROM and Force Reboots

I have had a DT since launch and I have had a custom ROM on for quite a while and upon using Android N (through crDroid) I found an extreme amount of forced reboots, I was wondering what causes them as I would love to join the ranks of the 1%ers who use android N across all platforms.
Obviously saying "it doesn't work please fix" is not going to get me anywhere so ill throw my pride out the window and accept any and all assistance if yall would be so kind.

crDroid is notorious for that. Try any of the other 7.1 roms that are out there. I installed AOKP 2 days ago and it hasn't rebooted yet. Battery life is awesome too.

ok. Ill try out aokp as that is what I used in 6.0.1 Thanks!

Just to give you an update, I just removed AOKP because whenever I try to make a call through a Bluetooth device (like my car's hands free system), it completely messes up the phone and eventually force reboots. These roms are based on early versions of CM14.1 (we don't even have official CM14.1 builds yet) so some bugs are to be expected, but they're all being updated very regularly so I expect that they will be virtually bug free in a no time. Just keep trying them until you find one that works for you.

So far is running good. Not a fan of pixel launcher though, also i think the network icons in crdroid are more functional because they have built in traffic arrows.
Glad to have proximity speakerphone back.

Also @calsurferpunk just re-synced his "unofficial" CM14 to RR's builds to hope to get that stability. Previously he was uing crDroids database (or whatever). His unofficial CM14 builds are a hybrid of more bare bones CM and everything-including-the-kitchen sink tweaks of custom ROMs. His builds have the more popular tweaks, like being able to download Moto apps and a couple more, but are not change-everything ROMs.

I just posted an updated build. I'm using repos from RR instead of crDroid (still configured to be stock CM 14.1) and the "stock" kernel from 2bhb27. Hopefully this fixes the instability issues. You should go over and thank him as well for all of his hard work

I really appreciate your assistance with this mate. I remember back when we had mofo and your only option was basically build an image yourself or take whatever one guy was developing. I'm really thankful we have evolved no thanks to the developers like chainfire and all the wonderful people who still care for our 3900mah mini Nexus 6... Or at least close enough
Edit: I will try out CM14.1 Unofficial for a day and see how that goes. I really want to stay away from "kitchen sink" roms because of the restarts. Thanks again for your help

I'm just asking if anyone had tried this Vanir rom . See my post as I'm thinking of picking up one of these s4's from ebay .What rom are you running ?

I installed this ROM last night for a few hours. Seemed pretty smooth and stable. Although I had more data time-outs than I typically do with the KK ROMs I generally use, this one definitely didn't give me the serious data connectivity issues I had with Resurrection Remix Nougat ROM. I didn't delve too deeply into checking whether everything is 100% functional, but I don't recall anything not working.

just installed vanir 7.1 camera taking photos but video recording doesnt work on any camera app

So not bad for first build or was it the 2nd one out ? Can you log it and post at the Vanir community ? They usually resolve issues pretty quickly with a good log of the event . I don't think they even have a jflespr maintainer yet .The do pretty solid blind builds until they get someone . . Maybe some dev interested in this device will step forward hopefully .

yeah sure...Where can I find camera log file?

This ROM still exhibits the inability to connect to mobile services, making it worthless until as such time that they fix this pervasive bug.

..

Last night's Commotio build has data and telephony . Seems pretty stable . 03/05 build .

Best Mi Mix ROM Currently Available? (Advice)

Greetings Forums Members,
I thought I'd make a post here and get your opinions about what ROM to use. - I'm currently running Resurrection Remix from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...esurrection-remix-04-09-2017-t3587049/page420
So far everything seems to be running really well on this ROM, but before this Rom I was running Stock Rom with Marshmallow, then updated to nougat MIUI 9 or something like that and I really hated it... So I wiped, re-flashed the original Marshmallow Rom using Mi Tool. I then decided to install TWRP and Root my device and keep it on stock MM. It was really good and treated me well for the longest time. Eventually, I got bored of it and decided to try out some custom Roms.
I wanted to ask you all which Rom is currently the best Rom to use for the Mi Mix, would really appreciate some advice here. I'm mainly looking for something with good Battery Life and Fast/Smooth Rom.
- Thanks

AICP, It is the best and I think that besides Epic rom and Lineage that it is the only good one that is still maintained.

Thank you very much for your prompt and detailed response.
I'm currently using Resurrection Remix (ROM) - What are your thoughts on that? I personally find it to be really good because of the many feature it has included in the (ROM) - For example; you can really customize the (ROM) however you see fit. I find that to be the most appealing thing about the (ROM).
I'll be sure to give some of the other (ROMS) a try before settling on this one. I have yet to transfer all my dad over anyways since I've only been testing it so far. I'd like to make sure that there aren't many flaws before I settle.

Speaker switching in phone call and proximity sensor both work better in AICP, probably not a deal breaker, weekly updates and soon Oreo which there are a couple already.

I'll be sure to give it a try and see how it is. I decided to settle with RR now but I should definitely try out other (ROMS) before completely settling with RR since its the first custom (ROM) I've tried. I must say though that RR is very stable and has no flaws. Battery life is also very good.

RR hasn't been updated in months and likely won't be. AICP is the closest in terms of functionality (lots of config options etc) and is still updated weekly. Also, Oreo ROMs are starting to land (finally) so you might want to try those. I just built AICP for Oreo yesterday and I'm running it now. No major issues so far.

Awesome. Thanks for your input.
I've tried several ROMs that you've all recommended except for Viper. So far in my opinion I'd have to say RR has been the best in terms of speed, reliability and battery life. However, I'd like to give Viper a try as well just to see how it is in comparison to RR.
What version is it currently and what are your thoughts on Viper ROM ?

ViperOS is dead. Hasn't been updated in months and likely never will be. Rumours of an Oreo update hang on an article/video in Brazilian (where the team lead is/was based) showing it running on some device.
If you want to stick with Nougat for now, go AICP (more configuration options) or Lineage (closer to stock AOSP). Nougat ROMs are the only ones with custom kernels as yet too.
None of the Oreo ROMs are without issue for now, although they are minor for the most part. Another 1-2 should be along soon to add to Pixel Experience/Cardinal/RR/AICP.

I'm using @gavin19 's unofficial RR Oreo ROM. Love it. There are some minor issues but they shouldn't deprive you from trying it out. I strongly recommend it

Ya I need to try Crdroid, as I am on AICP and i havent really had any issues with that rom it works great and I can customize it like I want.
I am very excited i saw that ViperOs has figured out the Oreo 8.1 and has released a few roms, im hopeful someone will find a way to get that working for the Mi Mix!!!!

I think the best rom ever made for xiaomi mi mix is the Xiaomi.eu MIUI8 Stable v8.5.4.0
Reasons:
~ Unlike all custom roms, the miui uses the whole screen and has real rounded corners and not software made ones which makes the screen look better!
~ The MIUI 8 for MI MIX includes a gesture to hide the navigation bar and have a full screen in any app that you want, you can easly control it when ever you want, best rom for full screen exprience when ever you want! also when you do swipe to hide the nav bar the apps use the whole screen and there are no black bars! none of the custom roms have that!
~ version 8.5.4.0 has no bugs in it and has the best battery life you will ever see on the MIX
~ all Xiaomi.eu Pros and features!
~ Proximity sensor works perfectly and loud in this miui version, you cant find any custom rom that has that working perfectly these days
~ Camera is very good on the official MIUI version!
~ all the MIUI pros and features
~ NO HEAT of the phone, something that happens in a lot of custom roms I used
~ Please note that you can use MIUI9 from Xiaomi.eu if you want, but you will lose the stablity and swipe to hide the nav bar amd the phone heats a lot (but you get android 7, and all the new features) not recomended on the MIX
I have used tons of custom roms on my phone: LineageOS, RR, AICP, AOSP. AIOSP, DIRTY UNICORNS, PIXEL EXPERIENCE. none of the are as stable as that rom and I always go back to that rom.
Have a great day!

Yeah, Viper is most definitely a good Rom to use. I've used it on many other devices before and it has always performed rather well. It's a grea Rom overall and the customization is what really caught my attention. So I vote Yes, viper is indeed a good Rom to use on the Mi Mix and just about every other phone that supports it. AiCP is also a very good Rom on the Mi Mix.

I don't know man... I've never found the battery life to be good on stock ROM. I completely understand what you're saying though. However, if I'm being perfectly honest here, I wouldn't go back to using stock. Don't get me wrong it's very well-built and smooth but the battery life has always been horrible for me not sure why...

Backup & restore? Whatsapp chats and media files can be backed up to your Google drive and there are other options available for backup as well.
Same thing can be done for messages if you use the Google messenger app for texting and if not, you can still backup your messages and contacts very easily by using this 3rd party app to do so... Which uses Google drive. Also this app backs up call logs, contacts and SMS messages. App name: SMS BACKUP & RESTORE.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
As far as apps and settings go you can always just use your Google account to backup all apps/files/data if you have the option turned on in settings of course.
General SD files like media files (pics, vids, etc.) can be backed up manually using your computer and internal storage or by uploading them to the cloud... which is for free.
How to revert back to stock? There are many guides available right here on the forums, if you just take a closer look you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

ROMs with Oreo 8.1 (beta)

Hi Guys,
I came from Miui weekly update with Oreo (version 8.2.1), I would try Oreo 8.1.
I saw that there is a few ROMs with beta version of Oreo 8.1 and I've read that are more or less instable.
Which is the "more" stable and developped ROMs at the moment for Mi Mix 2 with Oreo 8.1 (RR 6.0, OmniRom, LineageOs 15, etc...) for daily usage?
Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

Definitely read through all the threads. I'm running LOS15.1 by Arasthel and i've had no problems so far. Only bugs are VoLTE and very fast blinking notification LED (fixable in settings). If you don't need any of the customizations RR offers this ROM is pretty much perfect.

Thanks a lot, it was what I was looking for.
If I should to have problem i'll send you a PM.

On Omni right now and overall experience is really nice,not experiencing any issue that has an impact on daily use,give it shot.Omni is pretty much the best custom rom I've ever tried on my MIX 2,really smooth and not feeling some big difference from the MIUI on smoothness and stability(the only exception i've come across so far is the front facing camera will crash when trying to record a video at 480sp resolution.),battery life is really good like fully charged and you get 6-7 hrs of SOT and 12 hrs of idle in total,no problem for a whole day use.(according to my daily usage,it's totally enough for a whole day use.)

I can recommend LineageOS if you dont need multiple modifications. RR if u need some mods abilities.
I really liked LOS but it doesnt have ability to disable second SIM card...

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

Wish RRemix worked but it has a strange low brightness bug.

What I understood so far

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.

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.

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:
