Android 11 für Mi Max 3 - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello my dears !!!
Just wanted to let you know that Android 11 roms are already available for the Max3.
Link to this: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=941051&st=5180#entry100512146
Personally, I can recommend the ExtendedUi 2.0 - Android 11- GSI MOD from SpyderMahn.
With the exception of Netflix everything works for me, it has been running for 4 days now, in my opinion absolutely suitable for everyday use

Support for FM radio?

I can't tell you, never use that, just use DAB + app to listen to the radio

So Netflix and Disney + are now working too.

How does the battery life of this compare to MIUI?

I can't answer in general, but I get an average of 38-40 hours under Android 11 (Android 10 26-30 hours).
Ich persönlich empfehle
Überlegenes OS Excalibur A11 GSI von Spydermahn oder ExtendedUi 2.0 - Android 11- GSI MOD von SpyderMahn
because the other Roms caused one or the other problems and they are going absolutely great for me.
Small tip on the edge after setting up the Roms in Settings? Apps? Standard set the Dialer of your choice, as this is not always done automatically during the initial setup

I have installed first 2. It is coming up with Hardware issues at bootup. Back to Android 10.

@rudiratlos57
Does bothe OS got screen gestures, so i dont need the navbor on the buttom? Whats better, Superior OS oder ExtendedUI?
(Haben beide OS die Bildschirmgesten, damit ich die Navbar unten nicht nutzen muss? Welches OS findest du ist besser, Superior oder ExtendedUI?)

Definitely ExtendedUi
Runs more stable, more fluid and battery consumption is simply awesome.
Pures Standby 0.3-0.4% per hour, otherwise I can easily get 2-2.5 days per battery charge
.
But I can only report on my experience
And yes, gestures are standard after installation, if you prefer to use Navbar, you must first activate this in the settings

Thanks. Then i will try ExtendedUI very soon.

I tried several Android 11 GSIs for Mi Max 3:
Superior OS Excalibur A11 GSI by Spydermahn
ArrowOS - Android 11- GSI MOD by SpyderMahn
ExtendedUi 2.0 - Android 11- GSI MOD by SpyderMahn
Octavi Os- 1.0
MSM Extended
My recommendation: eXtendeUI or Octavi.
On MSM Extended there was a problem with installing Google Apps.

I tried several of these ROMs.... And all are good. It is matter of taste who likes what.
I use ROM ArrowOS (simple and clean, comes with gapps and kernel) and firmware fw_MIMAX3Global_V12.0.1.0.QEDMIXM_83ae0d72cd_10.0
Works flawlessly and very stabile, fast and long battery life even with stock kernel
Here some tips:
0. Use twrp or OrangeFox 10 (NOT 10.1 which is messy)
1. To make Phone app working (and phone ringing when you receive call!), set the Phone app as default 'phone app' in Settings
2. I use DMGC_7.3.020_ver.4.5 camera and it works fine, even without any custom config
3. Android Auto to work, must be installed as 'priv-app' (Google to find how to do it if you are not familiar)

Hi
I´m testing now ExtendedUI 2.0 on my max3, honestly with the last official update of Miui 12 my phone started some lag on animations, opening apps. I feel most responsive ExtendedUI, i can´t get working audio settings for call, also has a menu for miui extras (you can select audio config presets for the type of headphones you have) but some of these specially audio not work. Overall, is very responsive, battery improve a lot, i'll keep it testing for a month to see what happens.

Agreed. Just installed the same ROM on my Mi Max 3 and it's WAY faster and smoother than Xiaomi.eu's MIUI 12 was. My Mi Max 3 is now my back up phone but I wouldn't have a problem with using this if it stays this smooth. Will have to keep using it for a while to see if I can find any bugs, but so far I haven't seen any.

Sorry if this is a duplicate question. I have Mi Max 3, but recent update has my play services useless and I can't install them even after I reset. So here I am looking to install an android that is not MIUI and would behave more like android and allow me to use all my Google services for my kids school.
Appreciate if someone can help me give a step by step guide for the installation.

M&M's MIUI 2.3.30 ML (Gingerbread) ROM Review

Hello all!
This is my very first post on this forum... I wanted to post it in the official developer's thread, but I have no permissions to do so and I have no other choice than write it right here.... So I hope you enjoy it and so the developers. Ah, I'm from Brazil... so sorry about my poor English.
A week ago, I downloaded the latest M&M's MIUI rom (V.6) and installed in my Xperia X10. "But fallenearth, have you, in one week, experienced enough to write a review?" Yes, I did.
First of all, I have the X10a. Might be that some issues I had is because the Rom was made for X10i.. I don't know...
The good things about this ROM:
First one, is the speed. Wow! They've capped out the frameskip, and the animations and transitions flow very well. Everything runs fast. You flip the page, and there it is... doesn't choke like basically all the other roms.
The interface is very clean, so you don't need to worry about all the crappy widgets the CM roms have. By the way, this rom is based on FXP CM7.2, but much, much better. I know how people love CM, but for xperia.... hmmm...
The theme that comes with the rom is superb. There are a lot of graphics controls and options... you can even choose the color of the led for any instance of callings.
There are specific options for the launcher... witch is common, but nicely arranged.
The installation is very easy, specially because the Aroma installer. It's like installing a default program in your pc, with the touchscreen working. Really well done (even the screen keeps sliding to the right... but it's ok, much better than just in the recovery boot program)
Now, the bad things
I've experienced a lot of flaws in this rom.
The first I detected was the difficulty to connect to some WiFi devices, like the CM roms. Depending on the device, it takes an eternity to connect. Yes, I've installed the wifi modules correctly (if you don't, in attempt to switch the wifi on, you'll receive an error message).
Some apps crashes. All the entertaining "booth" apps from Pivi & Co. stop to work. The latest Root Explorer release doesn't work either. A bunch of backed up apps failed to start, so you have to download it again, losing all the backed up data...
There is no App Launcher button. In the beginning, you get lost, and then you find out that all the apps you download and install get loose in the main screen. Well, there is a magic the scroll down the full program list, but I confess... with the status bar activated, you'll rarely will be able to do so. Then, if you want to uninstall some app, you'll have to do by App Manager. It's not a real complaint, but you have to get used with it, and it might take some time.
They messed up the proximity sensor. It just doesn't work, even it turned on in settings.
The camera... oh god the camera... It comes with 2 main camera apps - the MIUI's and the Cm7. No FC and Flashlight works in CM7 Camera App, so I'll not even consider this one.
The MIUI camera, they said they'd improved it. But maybe for worse. There is no zoom, even if you choose to use the volume buttons to turn it on or off. The camera image in display lags a lot, and it's common the app crash. So, I'm sorry, but the camera sucks hard. Two camera apps and none works.
A lot of itens, shortcuts and buttons and some apps are in chinese. So, if youre not a china guy or a Jedi, you'll have to do a "Russian roulette" to choose between Task Manager or App kill, for instance.
The MIUI Music App might be the second worst thing about the rom (losing only for the camera). It's beautiful, have a lots of settings, easy to use, have a EQ, a Fade setting... It would be one of the best music app for android.... but it crashes, and crashes a lot, crashes really hard and you have to pull out the batteries and reboot the phone. It conflicts with the Activity Launcher and... dead end, reboot your phone. In a lot of times it shutted down alone, by itself, and if I pulled out the batteries it won't restart. In the main thread, they say:
Have you Problems with Freeze/FC`S etc..please do one of the following or both:
Disable the EQ (Press the menu button from within the MIUI MUSIC APP and press "Disable EQ"), or..
Turn OFF fade settings in the settings of the MIUI MUSIC APP (press the menu button,
go into settings and scroll to the bottom, its there!)
if you try one or the other and still have the issue then try both.

Damn! If you have related bugs in your App and you know it before it's release, you just don't release it with the bugged issues. You try to fix, and then when you can't detect anymore bugs, you release it.
They haven't added the setting "hold volume button to change the song while locked". This is outrageous. Now they have "Shake your phone to change song"... Well, if you're going to jog, make a cooper or something... well, you're screwed.
The "Updating" app (to update the rom) doesn't work at all. If you click "search for updates, a dialog box flashes into the screen and disappears. Than, you think that it might be a "sign up" issue. So, you try to sign up. It requires your cell number to send a activation SMS. If you're in Brazil like me, for example, there's no way you number can be accepted. Always "invalid" number. So, you go to the "e-mail registration", which, I think, should be to instead a SMS, it sends you an activation e-mail. So, you click there, and you're sent to a web page of registration... all in chinese.... so...
This is not a official complaint... I mean, this is constructive information about issues I've found... I know how hard people work onto this, by themselves... But, issue detected, more chances to fix it and build a flawless rom.
So, final conclusion:
If you seek for a good, clean and fast rom, this is, from far, the best of the customs.
If you seek stability and performance, all working apps etc, I suggest the ol' good original Sony Ericsons' stock rom.
Hope you like it.
Hugs for all!
Not fully Translated to ENGLISH... Many Places Only Chinese
This ROM still not fully translated to English..
I found Chinese in many places... RESULT UNINSTALL....
Please make a full English ROM...
ROM seems very good but cannot understand few Chinese characters.
...
then flash v4 and be happy (but without better speed, smoother, miui transition, beats, xloud, bravia engine, aroma installer and and and..)

M&M Team MIUI is Best
HI,
M&M MIUI is one of the best Custom ROM based on MIUI.
I love to use MIUI but I am not able to find the best one (based on 2.3.7) similar to Cyanogenmod.
I will wait for your perfect ROM soon... Probably V7 or V8.
tried this rom today... it's ok, but oodie's prime x miui rom is far better... much smoother animations, more stable, camera works better, music app doesn't crash...
try it, it has all the good things from m&m's miui, plus some things work better
Guys, please do not compare our rom with Oodies (Great ROM) because its total other ROM.
Our ROM based on FXP and is faster because we have new driver/new Kernel etc..
Yes its right, Camcorder is laggy in High resolution but we wait for fix from FXP Team BUT Camera works FULL!! (Zoom is not surpported in Custom ROMS)
About other Issues..V4 is the stablest ROM the actually, V6 is smoother faster and has many Features but little Problems with chinese Words and 2 apps gives FC but is fixed from Team Member Mao!!
BTW: About Animation we delete ICS Transition because it seems that the ROM is more faster like our old Version with ICS Transition!
Have a nice Weekend!

Maik MM TEAM
Our ROM would be much better if the people using it (1) Read install guides and FAQ's and (2) Learned how to use logcat to report bugs.... I am a little insulted by this review, because you are criticizing our work and many of your complains are to do with FXP and MiUI creators themselves. It's not our fault
Good rom camera video lag?
What the change to v7.1?
I had Oodie's MIUI and M&M's MIUI and they were great...Excellent speed and functionality but sometimes very unstable, i dont like MIUI interface so i deleted them.
Im trying FeraLab Roms and they are great! Best choice and that would be my recommendation
Smoot, lots of tweak, customization 100%, Xperia S Software based, Undervolt feature that provides more battery life...
Recommending a Rom should be made on that roms thread.... Do not discourage people from trying this Rom. ...let them try n see....
No hard feelings pls

MIUI 9 Review-Everything you need to know

Hi! I decied to open this thread to clear the waters for people who want to switch to MIUI 9.
Coming from Global stable rom, you just need to flash global beta by downloading .zip file from official miui site, just go to updater app on your phone and choose .zip you downloaded and flash it. You will loose your data.
Now, whats new to miui 9: Apps do open a bit faster, and combined with new animations system feels smoother. Ram usage is same as on Miui8, battery life is 1h SOT per 10% with moderate to heavy usage. Camera has slowmotion ability, and split screen works just fine, some apps dont support dual screen like instagram and they crash.
Overall its stable enough to be used as daily driver.
Yes, it is stable. But Sync isn't properly working on my device. Also Did You checked the Real Time Battery stat while Charging. I always Get 4.1/3.9 V Instead of 5 V Supported By Charger. Can You Please Check that!
is miui 9 music player support (.m4a) audio format ?

Any comparison review between global and China? Things that are not working on China or things that are exists only in global? Problem with Google services in China?
Thanks in advance since I'm thinking moving forward from global since long time now there is no proper update...
I too get wifi issues with pixel experience. After some time (maybe 10 minutes or so) the wifi constantly drops and does not work even though it shows as being connected, but I've found this issue persists for all oreo roms for the mi 6, even miui, so this issue for me is not specific to pixel experience. On 7.1.2 I have no such issues.

Well you have to deal with Chinese apps like 20 of them also there's only a few languages mostly Chinese and English and there are some parts that stays Chinese like the search app,tho you can't switch it to Google search app
You can install google apps easily but you can't set Google assistant on the home button
That's it nothing more if u can live with that switch to it

hi, anyone tried the mokee rom?
why there is no thread about this rom here?
i saw they have an Oreo for mi6. i had mokee on my
zuk z2 pro and it was the best.

You can always use system app remover to remove chinese content. And if you dont want any chinese character under the full system, you can install xiaomi.eu. You can switch search app to google. You can set google asistant to home button.
Nothing you say is actually makes sense

1)I got over 204000 with antutu
2)No touch glitches in my phone.
3)Not really, it can fixed in various way. In my case i was able to fix it, just by disabling all my magisk modules.
4)Of course, the idea is to be mimic a Pixel phone
5)That´s something you change in photos settings. So not really a con
6)How it is a "con". Treble will help us to get new version of Android faster but that´s when NEW version of Android roll out like P. At this point, Trebel is a nice thing to test and see how the GSI behave

Well I'm talking about my experience about the rom you didn't have to panic tho i know some bugs are not there on some phones but i know alot of ppl had the same bugs
Also I'm not an idiot i know you can't change the setting in the photo app on PE
I didn't write treble i wrote "no treble" which means that it's bad it doesn't have treble yet
Next time read stuff carefully
Btw I'm happy about your reply so ppl know that it's possible to get your solid experience on PE which I couldn't by doing everything possible. Peace

To me all the same but with popkern kernel r27c schedutil governor improved active battery usage and deep sleep works so idle drain is almost zero overnight (Systemless xposed for greenify, amplify and naptime).
Also I was waiting for things to get stable enough to update to oreo but there was another thing that made me stay in nougat: a working dolby atmos + viper4android setup. That oreo atmos port from axon 7 wasn't to my taste - I like classic atmos' virtualizer and volume leveler ratios - but finally have found a port that works in DotOS 2.1. For viper, the first one in magisk repo works well.
From 100% to 30% with a lot of flashing mods, getting stuck in mi logo then restoring system+vendor backups from twrp (yes I'm pretty quick when I'm impatient) in first 1 hour, in total more than 7 hours of SOT and 2 hours idle and battery didn't even go higher than 37°C. Quickcharge works (3A) and also it doesn't heat too.
That dolby oreo zip (not a magisk module):
Any more ROM reviews?
I'm currently looking for AOSP-based ROM that drain moderately slow during usage and have no WiFi battery drain problem.
im currently on xiaomieu but idk which miui rom is best does anyone have any recommendations (preferably with ota updates)? Thanks in advance

To be honest I've switched back to 0401 dotOS the next day I've wrote that comment because there were some wakelock issues with the popkern. And dot (0401) has gcam fix to its date so it's working out of box (after enabling camera2 api). And I've also tried a few (oreo compatible they say) dolby atmos ports but in the end I gave up because it's not the same atmos like the older versions. I like it's virtualizer and volume leveler (it does increase volume levels dynamically for different frequencies so I could use viper to decrease them all while dolby was on, so the hissing sounds would be gone. Like a noise gate you know). But again the oreo version isn't the same and not to my taste.
Finally I've ended up tweaking with viper, adding some reverb etc and also the viper devs seem like they wanted to have a leveler like dolby atmos (old) so they've added more controllability to the playback gain control. Plus enabled the viper ddc so I've got a profile like my old viper+atmos setup.

MI Max Review - Best, Most stable and Highly customizable Custom ROM so far!!

Hi Mi Max'ers.
My name is Addy and I have been using Xiaomi MI Max [Hydrogen] for 2 years now. I do a lot of customization because being simple is boring .
I liked MIUI till MIUI 8 Nougat (Global ROM). After that there was not much improvement in MIUI ROMs and I could not customize much in the new MIUI 9 and 10 ROMs.
I mostly like system-wide black theme and black theme for all the apps.
So, I came to custom ROMs. I flash ROMs like crazy just to find the perfect one that fulfills my level of customization.
I found AEX [7.1.2] (AOSP Extended). It was good for about 5 months. Then I was having lot of issues one over the other.
One of the major problem was... All the widgets were getting disappeared when I turn on my phone after my phone shutdowns when the battery is dead. No matter what I tried, the problem did not solve. I'll have to restore my 10GB of Nandroid backup everytime it happened.
So I started to search for a new ROM. I wanted to go the the latest releases like Android PIE.
I tried almost a dozen of Android PIE ROMs. Unfortunately, all the ROMs that I have tried had one problem in common.
But exactly the camera and flashlight did not work. Many user were reporting this issue and some said the the camera would work after some time after reboot or it might work after few reboots. It was highly uncertain.
Since I love taking pictures, then I thought I have no choice and I have to go to MIUI again to the latest release (even though I experienced MIUI 10 is full of Bull crap.)
But I saw that Latest MIUI 10 global is still running on Android Nougat. So, I decided to go for Nougat based custom ROMs.
Now I ended up with final version of Resurrection Remix [7.1.2].
In my opinion, this ROM is by far the best and most customizable ROM that fulfilled me. So I am sharing my review on that.
For now I have installed around 85 user apps + Google apps micro package + Magisk and Xposed Modules.
ROM Link:
a. RESURRECTION REMIX [5.8.3] [DEPRECATED] - Thanks @sawdoctor.
-ROM thread.
-Post for download link.
b. AOSP Extended (AEX) - Thanks @Davehimself
-ROM thread.
Battery : ~8 hours of SOT
I think 8 hours SOT for a 2 year old phone is more than expected I guess considering my torture of my MI Max in the past with all the games in the past
I stopped playing games these days since I had to concentrate on my studies. So, I mostly watch youtube videos and listen to music. I hardly use any social media because it if filled with nothing but full of fake stuffs and promotional ads these days.
Camera: Best on so far - MIUI modded camera
I flashed MIUI modded camera so that I can use my favorite Camera and make fruitful memories:victory:.
I did not take good pictures recently. So, I have attached a HDR picture that I have taken few months ago when I was using MIUI camera.
I tried a lot of modded Google camera apks for features like night sight, HDR+, Portrait mode etc. But I got tired of searching/installing/uninstalling. So I think I will enjoy those features when I get a new phone instead of being greedy.
If anyone has working Google camera MOD for MI Max Hydrogen Nougat based ROM, kindly let me know in the discussion.
MIUI Camera: - Thanks @Arnova8G2.

CPU usage: ~ 50% of time in deep sleep according to EX Kernel manager.
I use ondemand governer for both Little and Big cluster.
I also have also set 1190 Mhz for Big cluster for saving some juice.
I did not tewak GPU settings.
I have only Double tap to wake setting turned on.
Memory Usage:
At first only when I installed only the ROM, without Masigk or GAPPS... Astonishingly, the total free RAM was ~1900 MB!
After setting up all my apps customizations, now the free RAM after clearing recents is around ~ 1200 MB!
I know the unused RAM is wasted RAM. But in previous ROMs, I used to have only 500 MB of RAM or so as free RAM. So it was nearly impossible for me to multi-task.
I am really surprised with the RAM management in this ROM!
But, I still have some apps freezed in Titanium backup + I hibernate some user apps in greenify.
Customization and MODs:
I utilized almost all the features the configurations option in RR ROM settings. My favorites are:
- Recents and Notification panel blurs.
- Customized lockscreen using "Lock screen wigdets [L-M]" xposed module.
- disabling quicktiles (GravitiyBox) and power menu in Lockscreen (This is a major securty issue for me in MIUI ROM. They removed the option to disable these from marshmallow! Now, It is much easier for the thief to steal the phone and switch off/ turn to silent mode!)
- I totally disable mods of the ads in my phone. I use adaway + "MinMinGuard" xposed module for systemwide ad blocking and I use Mozilla firefox with uBolck Origin addon to block ads in browser.
-and other bunch of stuffs.
One thing I was not satisfied after switching from AEX is the quality of VIPER4ANDROID soundmod.
I installed the same module. but somehow I could feel the different effect. I will have to adapt to this I guess.
I have shared the screenshots so that you can see it for yourselves .
Thanks for Reading.
Feel free to share your opinions/mods/etc.. So, that we can use our MI Max to the most fullest way possible
Thank you very much for sharing your experience, that was very helpful.

Enjoying new features but Facing battery drain issues?
Android 10 has been the most versatile Android hence, it came with all kinds of goodies such as new features, performance improvement, better permissions and security settings.
Please, don't complain that battery life is not as good as Android 9 because, Android 9 was NOT as good as Android 10.
Overnight battery drain issue has been fixed. If you are still facing it then you can try following methods to improve battery life (I will update it if there is a better strategy):
# Install blazemax kernel 3.4 and Magisk for root. Install a kernel manager app. Select "elementalx" governor for CPU and "balanced" governor for GPU. Enable "IntelliPlug" from CPU Hotplug and that's it.
Following are optional:
# Use Pure Black theme rather than light or grey
# Disable "Device personalisation services" from settings
# Disable "Find my device" from security settings
# Disable printing services from system settings
# Disable "Battery Manager" from system battery settings (optional)
# Freezing "Digital Wellbeing" may also help (optional)
More Tips for Improved Performance and Enhanced Battery
We install plenty of apps in our mobile phones to use for various reasons which may require us to use those apps regularly or when it's needed on random days a month. Some of apps are needed to work in background such as social networking apps. Whereas, gaming apps are needed to work only when needed. Other breed is known as bloatware which are not used by us but are part of system app partition. Gaming, infotainment and bloatware apps shouldn't be working in the background as they not only use battery but also use our data for ads and such. So, these apps should be disabled when not in use.
We need to have knowledge of all such apps and their relevant categories because this information will result in snappier performance of our phones along with good battery life by following the below mentioned trick.
You will need:
1. Titanium backup app
2. AirFrozen
Detail is given below:
1. Titanium backup app is one of the veteran apps which is good for backing up your app data so you can resume from where you left in previous ROM or phone. It's made for rooted phone users. It can be used for disabling the unwanted apps by using freeze command. I recommend that you should freeze bloatware which you don't use at all. But be very careful while disabling system apps. You can download this app from Google Play Store. But if you don't want to backup your apps then no need to install it. Just go for next app.
2. AirFrozen app is for people who have such apps which are not needed to work in background but are needed to be installed. Such apps include gaming and infotainment apps etc. By using AirFrozen; you can easily freeze/disable an app and can still open frozen app for use with couple of touches. This way the app gives you few major advantages; disabling the app which prevents background processing, data and battery usage and unwanted notifications. Secondly, frozen app is hidden from sight yet ready to open upon couple of taps. I don't want my son to know that I have battle royale game installed in my phone. Hence, I've frozen COD in AirFrozen. Few other infotainment apps and Titanium backup are also frozen in AirFrozen. Give this app a try and you will love it. You can download AirFrozen from Play store.
Did the developers of Mokee OS wait for the developers of LineageOS 17.1 to fix all the errors?!:laugh::good:
May be
Nice job Ali! Though you didn't develop this rom, but the conveying part is still noble.
Finally an official rom other than lineage. Is there face unlock present in this rom

Ok my fingerprint is not working.so I needed atleast face unlock to work.atleast this is official rom .I'll try it out later .thanks for getting us this rom dev
Is this rom fast and smooth as LOS 17.1 ?
Please tell more about battery backup, bugs, sot, native video calling, And audio/video bug
Performance is good as I played COD on it for a few moments and I found no stutters. Battery seems fine as I saw only one percent battery drop overnight. I've used mostly mobile data since installing it and it hasn't really struggled with battery whereas data drains battery faster than WiFi. I cannot say anything about SOT at the moment as I couldn't fully recharge my phone since installing this ROM. I've been testing this ROM for last 19 hours with conservative governor. Added features as I mentioned are pretty useful. Unlocking with FP is snappy, signals are strong and LTE is connected all the time. I can't say about native video calling as my network don't have it. I use WhatsApp video calling which is fine.
No bugs encountered so far

Google had dropped face unlock with Android 10. Hence, official ROMs have dropped it as well. You should try LOS 16 or Mokee 90 or other Pie custom ROM for this ability.

Actually msm xtended v8.0 and havoc os 3.5 both have face unlock and both of those roms are android 10 .so I'm stuck with them untill another android 10 rom gets face unlock.by the way the next update of both msm and havoc os removed face unlock so I don't think they'll add face unlock any sooner.however the developers of this rom can definitely add face unlock as an added bonus

Yes, Degrus and VladSor added that functionality on their own fulfilling community requests. But in order to make a ROM official; it needs to follow AOSP code which doesn't allow face unlock.

I am using the same build. Have you checked settings because dark theme is grayish by default which has to be switched to black.
