Is this device waiting for something before ROMs start flowing? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

Kinda surprised there are no ROMs yet...
Does something need to be released for this to happen, or have not enough devs bought this phone?
Sent from my Mi A2 using Tapatalk

Probably not enough devs.
In my opinion the release of pocophone really made this device irrelevant.

So Jasmine is the red headed step child...

Well, at least we are lucky that this phone works really good on stock ROM, so for now, I'm not complaining.
There is only two things I would like to be fixed, dual ringtone option, and some king of proximity fix, everything else works perfectly fine for me.
Ofcorse, camera2 by default would be great.

Have you held the pocophone in your hand? It's awful. Cheap plastic, cheap plastic everywhere. Plus bleeding screen. Yes, it has SD845, but the design and build quality is setting us five years back. For me, it is not an acceptable phone. I hope we get some good custom roms soon.

On my device the adaptive brightness works...
Keep in mind that on stock android, until Pie, you won't actually see the brightness slider moving, once the system has set a value you're supposed to use it to adjust the brightness around it.

Sure but max brightness is very dim compared to which values it can go when manually setting it to a high value.

Draco is developing an awesome kernel "Hex" kernel. Still in testing phase. I am using it for last 2 days and its giving me amazing battery life. If somehow we get a working pie vendor there are few devs which will bring some of the famous roms.

Stock LG lollipop does look nice. Looking at videos (which I know aren't final releases), I noticed a lack of the lollipop app open/close animation, which I was a bit upset about.
Waiting for CM to get to a more stable point to flash, then hoping CM gets their lollipop on soon

I agree. I had an n5. Having good Roms and **** getting updated daily isn't as good as it seems to be, 1 your battery never optimizes, 2 there's always bugs and reboots and kernel crashes that seem to get fixed after a while but more problems occur.
After g3 tweaksbox, gravity box (just for pie controls), aosp theme for icons and pulldown it feels like a nexus. But you cant beat having an sd card removable battery, this camera quality and this speaker. Yea i had to use a kernel with faux gamma and sound (skydragon) and greenify to get nexus smooth but i dont really mind that
I tried going back to stock android but I just find the g3 is better

Thoughts about Mokee (MK81 aka android 8.1)

In the past I've used Mokee in my HTC Desire HD I was really happy
Thought of trying in my 1+1 ..well if you don't care about charging led when the phone is turned off and no percentage(just a simple animation) ..I didn't find any big issues
GPS seems to take a while longer to lock in the late builds
P.S. It's weird I don't see any official presence here
Wow man, you used Mokee on the DHD? I made that port Never knew they released 8.1 for the OPO, care to share a link?

Gave this one a quick test. I didn't see anything different besides stock LineageOS like feature set. Not bad.

hahahah for real? well I still have the DHD and has the mokee installed, although it's too slow for my taste that's why I went to 1+1. Lately it couldn't handle more than 5 apps, with 10-15 apps I couldn't answer a phone call hhahaha

You choose 1+1 and that's it, although to be honest ...the "forum" bug report is terrible - It has a lot of Chinese as the main devs are Chinese people

It has some extra which are nice to have, only bad thing is that they share kernel specs as the "no charging light when phone is turned off" but the animation of that seems cooler(but no percentage either) - SafetyNET passes ..case you're wondering

Well I can use it for future projects as a gps tracker or a camera ..who knows, I have it in mind condition
Without any apps it works quite fast
P.S. Now about MK81 and our phones that kernel bug is bugging me ...charging it without a lit led seems disturbing(when it's turned off) ..it's an old CM bug. The animation they have is fun although not that smooth and has no percentage

Custom Kernel feedback

First, I would like thank everyone who has contributed to the development of this phone and the continued support. I recently rooted my phone, changed to the international version, twrp recovery and added some mods like viper and YouTube. I wanted other root users feedback on kernels they have used and which have given them the best battery usage. The phone is much faster and snappier since the root but I have noticed more battery loss. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Sent from my ONEPLUS 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Smurf kernel is best for me at helping battery life without loss to performance. Using battery saving profile
Thank you for feedback.. Any other users have opinions on other kernels?
Sent from my ONEPLUS 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Smurf for the win!...
Definitely the best ... don't bother to try other kernel
Just use Smurf and forget about any other kernel.
The only one I've tried for this phone so far is HolyDragon. I'd heard amazing things about the ROM and Kernel in the past so i figured i'd start with that. It's been a full week now and i can say without a doubt I've had a marked improvement in battery life with no performance changes. I also left it with it's default installed settings, but there are plenty to tweak.
I'll have to look into Smurf since it's getting some high praise here.

I think RenderZenith is worth a try. The dev seems to put a lot of research and testing into it. Battery seems slightly better than stock and there doesn't feel like any sacrifice in performance.
I appreciate the responses and I have tried elemental and from the recommendation have switched to smurf kernel but I am getting a flickering on my lockcreen when I get a notification.. Any feedback?

I get the flicker with smurf kernel also. I'd love to hear if anyone has a fix.

I too get it on Smurf but he says it's a stock thing. Never seen it when I use any other kernel but his. Who knows, that flicker doesn't really bug me though.
Ooh I been getting that static effect since I moved to Smurf (yesterday) - you guys talking about the static like effect on the lockscreen right? I was on Elemental for a month, didn't experience it at all.
Alongside Smurf I added the animated wallpaper and the white theme yesterday, so made me think it could be the animated wallpaper or the white theme. I since moved to the black theme again for a few hours, the static screen hasn't showed up again. Tried unlocking rigorously mayve 50 to 8o times.
Can people experiencing this on lockscreen confirm they are all on White/colorful theme?
Render zenith hands down. I've tried them all.
He knows what he's doing and I've been running it on my 3T as well.
Holydragon is running amazing

I just started trying out Smurf kernel with the balanced profile. I started getting the static effect which I never saw before. I've previously used elementalx and renderzenith. I'm on a dark theme so I don't think the white theme plays a role in the static.
The static really doesn't bother me much, but I think I got longer battery life with renderzenith. I'll give Smurf a few more days and then I'll try Smurf with the battery profile.
Totally agree

Well said ! This is exactly what my experience is.
I appreciate everyone's feedback and suggestions.. I have been running smurf for a few days now and it is a good kernel but I'm not sure I'm feeling it a 100%. So today I'm trying out elemental kernel and see how it feels..

Tresk's red flare is a monster, good balance of performance and killer battery. Next I would say a tie for second with radioactive and nebula. Smurf is next for me. Haven't run holy dragon or render zenith. Arter kernel was snappy and responsive but completely broke my phone's encryption bc or the f2fs install process.

Do custom roms have dc dimming?

Since the stock rom does not.
Next LineageOS 17.1 build will have it. Stay tuned.
I read somewhere that is a hardware related limitation of our device. Does not work in Amoled.

This is not the case. Xiaomi is unwilling to add dc dimming to the redmi k20 (mi 9t). Xiaomi has added dc dimming to many amoled screen devices previously released.
I hope xiaomi or a custom rom will add dc dimming. I now use Oled saver app.

I did try that app but it still flickers and gives me eye strain. Try record in slow motion with another phone and you can still see it.
I sold my device as I just can't wait any longer. I'm happy with my decision tho. Hope you guys get a solution soon too.

I'd be in for it! RR is the only ROM that I used long-time on any of my phone's. Usually I'd just switch between like. Bliss, LOS, PE, Havoc and such as they all have things I don't like or miss and RR was the one ROM that had it all...
If you need testers with a EU 8 Pro (IN2023) i'd be up for that!
RR was definitely a impressive dish...

RR has added 100s more options. They have integrated a fully customizable theme also. Like fully transparent, pure black/white, changing icons, colors, fonts, navbar buttons, etc. I left havoc for RR and will never go back.
So, as of right now, this project is being abandoned by the dev I was working with and myself. We had too many build errors. We need a proper repo from Lineage which is not available.
Stay tuned.......
We are more than likely going to have it have the rom forced to 60hz but it's still a work in process on the build side. We have it 65%+ successful build.
Good to hear!
Just leave this right here
Btw, I am NOT the dev responsible for this
Ladies and gentlemen. 120hz works fine. Actually the only bug is fingerprint and adding 60hz and 90hz(work in progress).

Wouldn't bother with 60hz just add FHD as a switch from QHD as QHD can cause issues with battery depletion and green tint along with other things.
120hz is preferred by 99% of users anyway.

Neither do I have any of the other reported issues or the green tint, but myself and yourself are two people
If a developer is going to release a ROM then they should take others into account.
Or is all this work just for yourself? That's not what XDA is really about is it?
QHD will burn your battery down faster than FHD and the difference is minimal, that will affect you too.
Your call.
