Besides the GApps and maybe Root is everything ready for 8.X. The GApps will be updated to the Oreo Ones, once Linage is pushing first official Nightlies of 8.X.

Really? That's new... Is the Touch working correctly or is it screwed up? I will take a look on the AROMA Threads to see if that happened to someone else before. But could also be a TWRP Bug...
Thanks for the Feedback!

First impressions
Installed the light patch after wiping the system cache and dalvik. using a different tarp solved the issue regarding the flipped screen and the touch not working.
My few observations after 1 hour of usage :
1. The audio recording doesn't work on the phone( using any recorder), however the camera seems to be recording the sound. The Google voice assistant can't be setup as it can't hear the Ok Google.
2. The scroll cache seems to be a little laggy, maybe it needs some time to settle in.
3. Audio quality seems good, not sure if it's a Placebo effect.
4. The phone does warm up during charging, seems like it could be because of a fresh install. Without the light patch it was almost the same.
5: Google assistant doesnt work with the audio patch applied.

Thanks for Your Feedback. Well I think all lags and warmups will be gone after some Minutes (There are a lot of Progresses running in the Background on a clean start). Besides that are the Mic Problems known on some Devices. The Problem is caused by a lack of Fluence Audio Support. A well working (But Quality lowering) workaround is the Magisk Module called "Android Mic Fix" which does basically just disable Fluence Audio for Applications which are using the Loudspeaker besides the Mic (Calls, Google Assistant).
I would suggest to give it a try if You want to run the Patch anyways. And about the Audio Quality, there is for sure a plus in Quality. Lot of Qualcomm exclusive services besides the highest possible resampling can't be placebo. The Light Audio System (Including Sony Audio Enhancements UI) is also working as intended (Xloud, Clearphase, S-force). I haven't measurement methods available, but I'm using high Fidelity Audio Equipment to test the differences and My Hearing is good as it should be for a 24 Years old Guy. Trust in a Nerd lol
Just to share some Infos with You. Hope it wasn't to much!

if i test it on stock rom 3.1.165 running twrp 3.1.0 recovery there will be any problem in functionality?

I never used or worked with Zuk Devices, there is a chance that it will work on Stock, but I can't promise that. The Patch is made for 7.1.x & 8.x AOSP based Systems, Problems on Stock which aren't on AOSP happening will not be fixed...

Thank you so much for this wonderful patch. I have installed the mic fix as well, the audio recording works well. Would there be any app for the configuration of Light Audio System, like changing the equalizer etc?

Yeah, the Light Audio Option adds Xperia XZ Premium Libraries which will be enabled and loaded by the Xperia Audio Enhancements App. That App is linked as Equalizer on all Music Players like Spotify, Play Music and all default audio Players from ROMs. It does also contain Headphone Profiles and Enhancements, all added on top of the already existing optimizations of the Light Patch...
Think that explains it pretty well. Let Me know how You like it!

Why I will stay in MIUI 10.3.5 Global Rom instead of custom roms [My experience]

Hi people, after testing a couple of custom roms in the search for better performance I have figured out that the official MIUI rom is the best in performance, stability and battery management. (With some tweaks)
First tested the crDroid rom posted here. It is beautiful, simple, lighweight, the first time I flashed it I made the mistake of enabling aditional protection with pattern, then everytime it booted started of asking for pattern before boot (taking more time), getting slow, it crashed once, reflashed, didn't activated the aditional protection and everything worked good, only the proximity sensor where not working, the performance in UI was great, but gaming it didn't.
Second I tested Bootleggers ROM posted here. It's beautiful too, even more, the splash screen after logo is amazing, in my experience it works better than crDroids, all features worked as intended, very fluid UI, face unlock didn't work as in crDroids, voice match did it, but in gaming it was the same, the performance where not as good as it is in MIUI.
Some things to take into account:
-I flashed both of them with Open Gapps Nano from here used ARM64, Android 9, nano, it
worked better than the pico included in both posts because with pico voice match was not working.
-In both roms flashed Evira Kenerl 1.9, maybe isn't compatible with crDroids rom and because of that the proximity sensor where
not working, in Bootleggers rom Evira Kernel 1.5 is included, so there doesn't should be any compatibility issue.
-The game that I tested in both was PUBG Mobile, any of them played it in full screen mode (the notch bar), in MIUI it is played in
full screen mode.
-I use MIUI Global 10.3.5 debloated with Saki/EU tool from here and Evira Kernel 1.9, no battery savers from Magisk
What I saw is that the battery performance is almost the same in any of them, the system performance is fluid in any of them, including MIUI, but games performance is better in MIUI, there are no bugs (for what I know), face unlock works great, the fingerprint recognition in MIUI is better, stock camera offers manual mode, Gcam port from BSG is the best one and works perfect in the roms that I tested, and the most important thing that I noted is that the RAM usage in the three roms is almost the same, in MIUI I get 2+ GB of free RAM as in the custom roms.
So, because all of this my conclusion is that for now is better to stay in MIUI, it has OTA updates, is stable, bug free, and performs really great, even better in games in my experience.
Thanks.

thanks for sharing your experience!
right now, I haven't root my phone yet. based on your experience, I think I won't root my phone (at least until there's the most stable & efficient rom or until the warranty period expires).
you said that you use evira kernel. so, is it worth it to root my phone just for this kernel?

Well, if you unlock your bootloader the warranty will be void, if you decide to do it I recommend you to root your phone with this guide from HERE, with root you can use Adaway for blocking all ads in your mobile, in any way Magisk is required to flash Evira Kernel, and it worth the proccess, the battery will last longer and the performance can be improved; is up to you.
:good:

Yup bro if you need your phone for gaming then it's always a basic rule “Custom ROMS are not made for gaming”
Which means you better stick with the stock rom for the full gaming experience
But doesn't it bother you that you don't see notifications in your status bar and lockscreen?
This is the only reason that made me switch to custom roms..

I am on MIUI 10.4 by xiaomi.eu 9.5.16 Beta and I see every notification on my lockscreen, when I allow them to be seen in App settings. On status bar see like 3-4 icons, but you can add priority to the notification icons, so it's not problem at all. Why is everybody saying that you can't see notifications?
When I was on MIUI Global 10.3 (before unlock timer expired) I could also see all of my notifications.

you can use this recovery..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3921637
But if you love your rn7's camera then don't use any of the custom or miui based custom roms... Camera performance is always better in the stock rom.
What I did was, after trying every other roms I've switched back to the stock china rom, flashed magisk and used titanium backup (paid v) app to debloat the rom of useless apps.
I've also tried the global rom but found the china roms camera performance to be superior.

Settings - Notification & status bar - App notifications - Your app - Notification categories - Your category - Importance - Set on HIGH from Default/Low/Minimal
This also (from my experience) sorts the icons on the status bar, so apps with higher "importance" are shown in the situation, in which you have too many notification icons.

My impressions
Hello everyone
I Just bought a Redimi Note 7 after a quite long time using Samsung S8.
There is a couple thing really bothering me like
The swipe up opening google search.
I can't sort the apps alphabetically (really sucks)
The camera seems to be a little too dark (like the default cfg needs a tweak)
Infinite screen seems to be in conflict with the swipe up google search thing.
I got a couple of photos to compare the stock camera from the S8 and the Redmi
But the forum anti span wont let me

Hi, it works pefect at 1.9 version, for better battery I use alucardsched for CPU governors and zen for I/O scheduler, you should disable fsync in miscellaneous, I did it and no problem at all, it improves a lot the performance for wiriting/reading process in ROM.

Can you show me some screenshots of notifications like Facebook or Whatsapp on your status bar?

Just a quick tip and a call for help lol
If you face issues using Android auto + Waze and Xiaomi devices .
Set the power saving settings to no restrictions o both Android auto and Waze.
Go to app management and select the app to do It.
The problem I'm having now is .
When I receive an audio on WhatsApp I click play it starts playing on the speaker but it do not transfer to the ear speaker when I bring it close to my face .
Anyone knows how to fix it ?

Thanks. I don't have it, I just got MIUI 10.3.3.0 EU. This importance thing must be a MIUI 10.4 feature.

Very good write up. I'm sure there are many people who are sticking with stock rom for now with same/similar experiences or reasons. I'm one of them.

What app should I debloat??

How To Guide The best configs for GSI roms

Perform this at your own risk. You might LOSE all data on your phone.
( I'm not responsible for any damage to your device )
This is a tutorial for the best configurations to get the best from the GSI roms on the Xiaomi 11T Pro
If you are searching on a tutorial on how to install GSI roms on Xiaomi 11T Pro you can check this post
The reason why I made this guide is that there is no custom rom currently for Xiaomi 11T Pro and the only way to get custom roms is by installing a GSI rom and try to tweak with it to get it working.

1) To fix broken audio go to Qualcomm features and make sure "Disable soundvolume effect" is on
2) To fix broken audio on Whatsapp, Telegram, SIgnal go to Qualcomm features and make sure "Use alternate audio policy" is on
3) To fix Double tap to wake feature go to Xiaomi features and check "Enable DT2W"
4) To enable 120hz go to Misc features and click on "Force FPS" and select "1080*[email protected]"
5) To fix auto brightness go to Misc features and check on "Force alternative backlight scale"
6) To fix SMS go to IMS features and click on "Install IMS APK for Qualcomm vendor" then install the APK
B - Other Ways​1) Install Dolby Atmos using Magisk by flashing this file
2) Fix the volume steps by flashing this file using Magisk
3) To fix vibration you need to reboot your phone after you have applied the changes on section A and search for "vibration" on settings and click on "Ring Vibration"
Then deselect all the switches and then select them all
4) If LTE/4G is working for you. You can flash this file using Magisk to get 5G
5) If LTE/4G is not working go to Settings < Network and Internet < Sims < Preferred Sim 1 or 2 < Access point names and click on the "+" icon on top corner of the screen
Then manually enter your sim's provider APN and click on the three points and save -You can check it from your provider's website-
Do the same for MMS and save it. You will suppose to have mobile data working!
6) FIx Always-On-Display
You can now fix always on display and set the statusbar height to a value that covers the hole punch by flashing this magisk module by diogotc.
Know Issues​Currently the issue that I am still experiencing with GSI roms are:
1. GCam can record up to 1080p 60fps. 4K is not working.
2. The proximity sensor is not working always especially in AOD, So I recommend to disable DT2W (A- Phh Settings step 3).

You can use Gcam from this thread
But the only issue is you can record video up to 1080p 60fps

Sorry I don't know the answer of your question. You need to ask on the Samsung S20 FE thread as this is only for Xiaomi 11T Pro.

Hi, thanks a lot for your tutorial, it fixed most issues!
However, I've noticed two things:
The proximity sensor doesn't seem to be working. I've used the Sensors app to check it, and it always says 5.0cm no matter what. This means the Always On Display is always on, and doesn't turn off if it's in your pocket or face down on a table (which at night is annoying, since the light bleeds out from the transparent case).
The auto brightness fix makes the Always On Display very very dim, which renders it pretty useless since it can't be seen at an angle. I've had to avoid doing that fix for that reason, but it's very annoying that now auto brightness is just not working correctly.
It'd appreciate if anyone could find a fix for these issues. Everything else works perfectly (except for Android Auto, which I found a fix, see below).
Also, since Android Auto isn't installed as a system app, it shows "Connection error 22" when you plug it into the car and doesn't work. The fix is to convert it to a system app. I've used Lucky Patcher for this, but it was a bit sketchy, so if you find another way, go for it (and reply here so I know next time). EDIT: TheRomFan mentioned below that you can use the Systemizer Magisk Module.
Since it might be relevant, I'm using Pixel Experience Plus Slim.

Yes I know as this is an Generic System Image with phh's patch to make it work on maximum android phones.
Some of these issues can be reported to Phh and he will try fix it.
So I guess we will have to wait untill he releases an update to fix these issues
For system apps you can systemizer magisk module to install apps as system.

I've created an overlay for this device, which fixes the status bar not covering the entirety of the cutout and the brightness of the AOD being low (you still need to enable the alternate brightness scale on settings).
I've opened a PR on the phh's overlays repo, but it still hasn't been merged.
Meanwhile, you can use this overlay by flashing the attached Magisk module, or building it yourself from the PR.
In case someone is interested (even if it's not for this device), I'll leave here the build instructions (these are not required, you can just use the attached zip file).
Spoiler: Overlay Build Instructions
Keep in mind I'm using Linux, so build instructions might be a bit different for Windows/Mac.
Start by cloning my repository in the mi11tpro branch:
Bash:
git clone https://github.com/diogotcorreia/vendor_hardware_overlay.git -b mi11tpro
Then build the overlay for this device (alternatively you can build all of them by omitting the folder):
Bash:
./build/build.sh Xiaomi/Mi11TPro
This will generate an APK that'll be written to build/treble-overlay-xiaomi-mi11tpro.apk.
You can now put this in the attached Magisk module (unzip it first), by replacing the APK there with the built APK.
Then, zip it again, and make sure the root of the zip file is not a folder but the actual files of the module.

Themes / Apps / Mods Rear Notifier App for Mi 11 Ultra

I love my Mi 11 Ultra. It's a fantastic device and the rear screen adds a fun element to a seriously, beastly phone — but I found it ridiculous that Xiaomi completely cut off access to any other apps besides their own when it comes to allowing notifications on the rear screen. No more! With some inspiration from GuyWithRootedPhone and his Mirror2RearUltra app, I created my own app that allows you to select any app on your Mi 11 Ultra to send notifications to the rear screen.

Features:
• Pick the desired apps for rear notifying quickly and easily with the made-from-scratch app picker.
• Allow Rear Notifier to restart automatically after reboot.
• Tons of customization!
• Change rear display timeout to beyond Xiaomi's 30 second cap.
• Privacy mode, when enabled hides notification details.
• Allow animations with different animation styles and durations.
• Customize the app notification's icon and text sizes to different sizes and colors with support for dynamic coloring based on the app's icon.
• And more!
Update 3.0: Always on Display!
• Clock module with complete gradient-color customizations and animations
• GIF/Image module with all kinds of customizations as well
• Weather module with (you guessed it) more customization!
Update 3.6: Android 13
Hey everyone! I apologize for the delay in updates, but I've been running another ROM and just busy with life. I came back to the newest version of MIUI to find the app wasn't starting the service and investigated. Many of you may have had the issue of the service never seeming to start. The issue stems from Android 13 automatically denying the posting of app notifications without explicit user consent. Being able to show a notification for the service is vital for Rear Notifier's function. To remedy this issue, I've added an additional required prompt to use the app so there's no confusion. From my testing thus far, everything seems to be working as expected.
The update is under review to the Play Store as I type (6/14/23 1:38 PM UTC).
Thanks for your patience!
Bugs squashed:
• Android 13 notification issue resolved (service will start now)
• Fixed issue with GIFs where setting the speed didn't affect the rear screen GIF's speed
• Optimizations and improvements
Bugs/Concerns
• Whenever a notification is sent to the rear screen from this app, it will cause the default clock to disappear until the native rear display apk chooses to refresh itself. At the moment, there's no way that I'm aware of to bring back the native clock on-demand, but that's what my own implementation of the clock is for
Developed and Tested on:
Device: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra (Obviously)
ROM: Xiaomi.EU 14.09.0 Stable
Android Version: 13
MIUI Only!
Google Play Link
Feel free to send me any ideas or issues you have on different MIUI versions and I hope all my fellow Mi 11 Ultra brethren enjoy!

Future Ideas:
Since the default clock is super buggy when using this app, I was thinking about adding my own customizable clock feature in the app, but I have a lot going on right now
so that isn't feasable at the moment. When I have time, I will most likely add it to the app in the future.

That's strange...it supports Android 12 and up and I double checked to make sure it was allowed in the Play store (of course it was). Also, I uninstalled my dev copy just to see what the Play store said and it allowed me to download it.
I'll attach the latest version that I just sent for review on the Play store minutes ago.
When you install it, and Xiaomi comes up with the "App from an unknown source", make sure to toggle on all the toggles to make it everything works properly.

Running great on Miui14, very nice app!

Thanks for creating this app. Working flawlessly on Miui 14 EU beta.

Nice apps! It will be better if you add more features like clock, weather, stopwatch/timer, control music, opening camera from rear display and more...

Hi my english ist Bad ....im from Germany...

In order to use the app, make sure you click the 'Start' button at the top right. You should then see a persistant notification in your notification shade. Clicking that starts the notification listening service. If you don't start the service, the app is useless. That's what the message means Try that.

If the service has been started and nothing is working, then I'm not sure what's going on with your 11 Ultra. I can only help if I see some logs at this point.

That's interesting! Glad it's working though lol. Updating Mirror2Rear would be GuyWithRootedPhone's specialty, but since his code is open source, it is definitely possible to update. Thank you for the compliments though

Any chance you can open source your app?

@Chr0m3Chaos enabled all permissions and selected Whatsapp & Messages ....but still the "services" fail to start on MIUI 14 error: please start notifications services first and the "START button" beside APPS circles endlessly. Tried rebooting but still doesn't seem to work for me.

Use a link, which is not setting the region and language:
Rear Notifier (Mi 11 Ultra) - Apps on Google Play
Allow your Mi 11 Ultra's rear screen to show notifications from any app!
play.google.com

First: Great idea, i'm waiting for long for some app like these. The crappy rear screen for me never never showas any notification from apps and timeout didn't work at all.
But second: I managed to start the service and send a test notification, but didn't get some messages from apps. But i couldn't set some apps as apps list is empty, it says fetching apps and then nothing. If i type in search field (say i type telegr..), i can see app field for a very little moment and it disappears. And (but sure, thats what you stated above) the rear clock is gone till i disable and enable it in settings.
So again, great idea and great app, but seems it needs some fixing (and own clock would be great as my timer doesn't work and sometimes clock stays forever using battery ;-) )
I'm on latest xiaomi.eu weekly (A13), so maybe thats the problem yet...
Many thx for developing this app, looks promising

Great idea! Thank You!
I'm testing it and still needs some fine tunning, but looks really good.

Dang that's a weird one. If only MIUI wasn't so flakey with literally everything. I've had multiple people saying it worked great on the newest MIUI releases and a few where it's completely random bugs like that. Not sure what to say without logs though.
As for the clock — I have actually just coded a working implementation of the clock that has the same look and layout w/ the color gradients completely customizable along with a mostly-working weather screen. This will be in a vertical view pager implementation for easy access. I attached a mockup of how those will both look for most part.
I still need to code the UI for customizing the clock and weather though. Expect to see an update in the play store in a few days

What a surprise! I had to fix a Tucana of a friend this weekend, had told him there wasn't much going on for the device, but to experiment running 3rd party ROMs for a while (reluctantly he'd rather stay on MIUI with a locked bootloader).
Since the bootloader was unlocked and you guys had posted this but 2 days ago I decided to give it a spin momentarily, so these are my thoughts:
- Very nice out of the box I must say, went with the version that has GApps built in already (and thank god for that MEGA mirror, Plink wasn't cooperative).
- Installation procedure following the instructions was uneventful, rather confused about needing to format the data partition 2 times, but OK.
- The recovery though... damn, if at all possible perhaps you could try building or re-building any version of it moving forward. The current build of OrangeFox, while functional, does things on the background that I wasn't keen on, and for some reason I couldn't find a way to flash images directly through it! For example, after the Magisk app was installed in the OS and the boot image extracted and patched, I rebooted to the recovery to flash it to boot: no dice. The thing kept on thinking it was a ZIP (dafuk?) so I ended up booting directly from a TWRP build (which as opposed to OFox couldn't decrypt data) to flash the magisk patched boot image.
- Thank God for that Monet override of sorts allowing users to choose a basic color accent
- I didn't see any way to revert from the gesture based navigation to the traditional buttons, is it supported? (just curious, providing an alternative would be nice)
Now for bugs or unusual behaviors:
- Something odd was happening at the beginning in the battery section of settings, look at the following screenshot for more info (no logs, sorry, and it works as expected now, that was more or less right after installation):

- The default home app doesn't seem to have permission to display dots over app icons by default from notifications. I wonder if it is at all possible to enable it out of the box, in other devices I've seen some bizarre defaults that leads me to believe it may not be (like... the camera app not having the Camera and Mic permissions enabled, how the hell is it supposed to work otherwise?! )
Spoiler: Screenshot
- I had chosen a different shape for the icons, Teardrop, however after configuring the home screen and drawer through its setting it was reverted back to the default round shape. Perhaps it's not worth looking into since after a reboot of the device my chosen one was applied.
- It was in Magisk and due to the nature of it I couldn't capture a screenshot, but the authentication through fingerprint dialog had the fingerprint icon displayed lower than it should have been. The light and the sensor itself was somewhere half-way up that icon. I wonder if it's app specific or the authentication dialog is baked into the OS and would need to be tweaked, I'm just mentioning it just in case
- The camera app as it is pinned in the lower row of icons of the home screen doesn't work, it may refer to some other package that is not installed because tapping over it by default a toast message appears indicating the app is not installed. Opening it through the drawer worked as expected.
Talking of which... damn that's some barebones app, there's not even an option to choose which camera sensor you want to take the picture from, much less other advanced options. I'd think about replacing it with something more functional. LieageOS' Apperture should be better while still being basic.
Also, I think even in the GApps package having a basic gallery app besides Google's Photos would be nice, something lightweight perhaps, like QuickPic or its mod: https://github.com/WSTxda/QP-Gallery-Releases
I haven't tested the vanilla version of the ROM, but the GApps one was OK, it's nice to see new things coming for Tucana users and I was pleased to see the dialer not being Google's, don't get me wrong, Google's is very nice, but the lack of an option to record a phone call is a pity.

What a surprise! I had to fix a Tucana of a friend this weekend, had told him there wasn't much going on for the device, but to experiment running 3rd party ROMs for a while (reluctantly he'd rather stay on MIUI with a locked bootloader).
Since the bootloader was unlocked and you guys had posted this but 2 days ago I decided to give it a spin momentarily, so these are my thoughts:
- Very nice out of the box I must say, went with the version that has GApps built in already (and thank god for that MEGA mirror, Plink wasn't cooperative).
- Installation procedure following the instructions was uneventful, rather confused about needing to format the data partition 2 times, but OK.
- The recovery though... damn, if at all possible perhaps you could try building or re-building any version of it moving forward. The current build of OrangeFox, while functional, does things on the background that I wasn't keen on, and for some reason I couldn't find a way to flash images directly through it! For example, after the Magisk app was installed in the OS and the boot image extracted and patched, I rebooted to the recovery to flash it to boot: no dice. The thing kept on thinking it was a ZIP (dafuk?) so I ended up booting directly from a TWRP build (which as opposed to OFox couldn't decrypt data) to flash the magisk patched boot image.
- Thank God for that Monet override of sorts allowing users to choose a basic color accent
- I didn't see any way to revert from the gesture based navigation to the traditional buttons, is it supported? (just curious, providing an alternative would be nice)

Thanx for the report.
True, tucana community is rather small and at the moment there are only two active developers for that device. But most of the things is happening on Telegram these days (links are given in the OP).
As I'm not the developer, just the tester, I can refer to only some of the issues you have mentioned (maybe the dev will elaborate later).
Actually second Data format is not obligatory, not harmful though but I'll probably remove it from the guide.
I'm pretty sure there is a way to flash .img files in OrangeFox... but I don't have tucana with me right now to check. Anyway, to install Magisk you can simply flash it in recovery. I realize it's not the recommended method now, but in case of tucana it's absolutely fine, working without any issue.
Navigation types should be found in Settings > System > Gestures.
As for permission, I think it's new Google policy introduced in Android 13. They limit permissions as much as possible and even those really needed aren't granted automatically. Actually things involved with privacy are getting more and more difficult with every Android release, not only for users, but for the app developers as well...
Stock camera app is very simple indeed, I think it's a conscious choice, but you can always find good alternatives supporting other lenses. There are good-working GCams with polished XML configs, there are also MIUI Camera ports, but much less perfect. If you have Telegram account, you can find more about camera things here:
Camera group: @minote10photography
APK channel: @minote10apk
XML channel: @minote10xml
Fingerprint dialog mismatch is a known issue and it's present on other devices as well. Probably fixable, we'll see. There are some other minor glitches like those you mentioned, hopefully they will be adressed in the next releases.
Generally the ROM is well done, allowing tucana get a second breath

Not a problem! I testdrove it for a bit and thought it would be good to report back so it keeps getting better, like you said, it seems the Tucana community isn't very engaged since many moved on to a different device. Even the one of my friend had its battery already capable to hold only 52% of what it could at the beginning

I followed it to the letter, since the phone wasn't mine and I just wanted to toy with it for a bit, but perhaps formatting data once (before booting into the system maybe?) is enough.

For the life of me, I wasn't able to do it on the current OrangeFox release for Tucana (11.1_3?), in other devices yes, there are ways to directly flash raw data to partitions, but not here. In any case, after the boot image is patched it could also be flashed via `fastboot`; I'm not a fan of recovery flashing Magisk to be honest, if at all possible I'd like all modifications to be systemlessly in my devices.

That's what I thought, but I've never built an Android distribution before, for me the default state should be consistent, sane, and functional; for me it's the whole experience what makes or breaks a product, something polished grows on me, means attention to detail.
For example, the camera app in some distros that goes without camera and mic permissions by default, seriously guys... what the hell, I *really* dislike having to spend serious time after the first boot to check and set basic things like that. I get the privacy argument, but surely everyone expects the camera app to just show pictures after tapping on it going with the example.
And if it can't be done, well... more patched to Android that are needed to make it so haha, many inbox apps ship with some permissions enabled by default.

I hope it wasn't a conscious decision and it's something that was kind of the default with the current base of the ROM and still wasn't changed, the one that's shipped right now doesn't do anybody any favors. I know there are alternatives, even in the Play Store there are plenty of camera apps, but it's the same as before: sane defaults. This device, for example, has what, 3 sensors + the macro one? And the default app uses just one of them without possibility of choosing? It may not be a big deal for many perhaps, but I think it's big enough for others to look somewhere else.

¡Oh! So it's a known issue an happens in other devices too? Damn... perhaps something to do with the layout? Since I was using the default gesture navigation the height of the button navigation bar wasn't present, maybe that's the thing that needs to be taken into account.
And I completely agree! Granted I didn't use the phone with OctaviOS that much (some 3 hours perhaps), but it was a pleasant experience, I think it can only get better from here with some dedication so congrats for all involved!
As for Telegram, I do use it, but I don't really have a Tucana so those groups aren't useful to me (I wouldn't be able to provide feedback on anything or try stuff) and since my friend wanted pure MIUI (not even Xiaomi.eu's) with a locked bootloader won't be of any help either hahaha but I wish Tucana users the best

Hi,
great rom, my MI 10 feels like a new modern phone now, thank you very much for development!
Everything works fine, except...
- camera crashed -> installed gcam port, not a problem any more...
- bluetooth volume is far too low, PLEASE tell me how to fix this issue. Tried development setting, but volume is still far too low. Any idea?
Thank's!

...seems to be an Apple Airphone problem, JBL box works fine...

Camera has always been a problem on this device for custom ROMs, but there are good GCam alternatives. You can also try to install MIUI Camera port called ANX, but there are some flaws

Thank you for this really very successful ROM. So far I haven't noticed any problems, except the camera which has problems on every custom rom with this smartphone! The interface is fast, and battery life is good.

Great OS, is there a setting for gesture control that allows swiping in the top half of the Phone in order to use in App functions such as opening the menu instead of only getting backwards?

Not in the system, but you can control gestures bar height with AOSP Mods LSPosed module

I did not have any particular bugs to note. Fast charging works up to 30W, fingerprint and face unlock works, NFC too, VOLTE too, OTG too, and AOD too.

1.What is latest build security patch date?
2. Is google pay working?
3. Is OTA supported? And when doing update apps settings are not changed?
4. Any bugs?
