Strange colors in animation - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently the touchscreen of my Z1 (C6902) cracked so I got it repaired by a local service guy as the phone is not worth the genuine screen now, at least IMO. Anyhow that's another matter to discuss.
My problem is that the screen works flawless in Stock Sony Android but if I flash CM or AOSPA the display shows some strange colors when showing animations or playing videos.
I have attached a video for reference.
CLICK ME FOR VIDEO!
Could anyone tell me what is the reason behind this strange behavior?
Is the display faulty or the service guy broke something while replacing the display?
Thank you and Regards

Welcome to the club. This is the problem with Chinese aftermarket displays. After struggling with this issue for months, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is the issue is absent in Kitkat and MM AOSP ROMs. So once MM becomes stable you should be good to go.
The bad news is, the issue will be present throughout any LP AOSP ROM you use. BUT, there is a temporary fix. Refer to my post here for details. You have to tweak the color values. This will result in an overall dimmer display, but I think it's worth it.

oh thank you so much for that valuable information.
I can live in peace now.
FYI, I've decided to look for some 4.4 ROMS rather than messing with the kernel which I'm sure will lead me to more bugs/problems.
Really thank you for the solution
BTW, what do you think will be better, Paranoid Android 4 or CM11?

You are not modifying the kernel. You just need to use Kernel Adiutor. In the screen section, you will find sliders to set values for the colors. Unless you want to mess up, you most likely wont. Even if you do, you just need to reboot to reset it. I would recommend LP as it has a better camera and is more secure when it comes to security patches. But if you're hellbent on a KK ROM, you could try optimumpro's Slimkat, which has all the patches upto January. Sure, it has less features, but it has all the necessary features.

OK, I'll try your way first.
But I will have to find the latest FTF for Indian Xperia Z1(C6902).
I will surely reply after I'm done with the process.

No no, you only have to do the last part of that post, not the whole thing, unless you want to switch to MM. Just boot up a LP AOSP ROM, install a kernel with kcal (like M5Kernel), install Kernel Adiutor and switch the color values to what I've mentioned in that post.

Damn I feel so stupid -_-
Thank you for pointing that out, you have no idea how many google links I opened, searching for the latest FTF.
I did not change any kernel, just flashed SuperSu and installed the app and set the values as told in that post.
It's looking OK for now, will test more tomorrow.
Once again, thank you very much
UPDATE 2 :-
I was using Kernel Adiutor to manage the colors of the display as told by the @drakonizer which was working great but had a small bug.
It's that Kernel Adiutor resets the colors value if I turned on Live Display in CM settings.
So a better way to manage the colors is to use the calibration feature in Live Display settings in CM.
Right now I've disabled Kernel Adiutor and using the 75, 60, 60 values in CM settings and everything is looking great even when Live Display is turned on.
UPDATE 1 :-
I've used it for a day now, here's my feedback.
1. Low brightness is really a problem in sunny day. I've set the colors value to 25 and 23-23, it's looking normal right now, will let you know after day testing.
2. Phone is getting much more warmer than before, the reason could be anything, from faulty display to faulty service of the mobile to buggy software/app.

Strangest thing.... Was on CNA, decided to try ICSSGS, didn't like it as well so flashed back and calendar was there. I assume because I did not wipe on the flash back to CNA?
FWIW, I have tried this, ICSSGS, and CM9. CNA is my favorite. I have had almost no issues. 1 app won't run, but it is from my small, local bank.

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.
The alternative would be buying them in the browser/pc.
How To Print Screen

Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying this ROM out.
I'm coming from Serendipity VII, which if I understand correctly is I9000 based. Just to make sure I understand what I'm doing, I should just be able to reboot to recovery, and install the CNA ROM from the zip file, correct? Any other steps necessary?
Thanks

I got it installed (with the Glitch kernel - running at 1.4Ghz so far), and I'm very impressed
The only issue I haven't yet been able to figure out is the external SD card. It seems that it now gets mounted under /mnt/emmc/ ? For whatever reason, the music player can't find the media that I have on the external SD card. Any ideas? I can find it using ES File Explorer and play the files individually.
Privacy
There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.
Thanks in advance.
I was one if the unlucky ones that had no 3g data after flashing this rom, flashed glitch, moved apn-conf.XML to the /system/etc/ directory overwriting the old file.
This did not bring data back. I decided to look at the apn list and noticed that it was blank. Clicked the menu button, then selected reset to defaults. Ten minutes later I had data.
Lock Screen
Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.

Not yet. It still shows the animated android.
Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)
Update 3/24:
All aosp roms do not show custom icons.
All aokp based roms do show custom icons.
aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).
Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.
Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.
Any way to disable the proximity sensor in this rom? The thing is the cappy i purchased came with that sensor dead.. This makes the phone freeze while making calls for example.. I'm using right now MIUI 2.3.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7 and I can disable it with almost no effort at all..
Thanks in advance

Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities. I could try that, but I would be more than grateful if you could explain me a little further the relationship between those two.. Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.

you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.
here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)
1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.
2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.
3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?
4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.

(3 August) Unofficial CM 10.2 for Pollux_Windy (Wifi Only)

Unofficial, no warranty, express or implied. Not final, nothing to do with the CM people, not backed by them, not made by them, may cause corruption of innocent kittens if used irresponsibly. I am posting this only because the main CM sources are not perfect right now for building for Qualcomm devices just yet, and need some tweaks in new branches.
CM 10.2 Android 4.3 built for, and working on Pollux_Windy, once again thanks to Sony using such nice, open-source-friendly devices.
Working:
WiFi
Compass + sensors
Sound
Bluetooth
Front + Rear Camera
External SD (including ExFAT)
Not Working:
GPS
This is for the Pollux_Windy (SGP311) Wifi ONLY tablet. It should work on the SGP312 (32 GB wifi only) as well, but will NOT work on the Pollux (with LTE).
http://goo.im/devs/pulser/TabletZSGP311/CM10.2/cm-10.2-20130810-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip
Tried to flash this but i'm getting an error about device build prop not matching requirements. I had a 312 rom on first, and flashed a 311 stock rom, but still get the error. My device is 311 by default.
Do i need to edit my build.prop? Even though my device shows as SGP311?
EDIT: Ah nevermind, i had the stock bootloader still installed. Doh!
If anyone needs Gapps I found them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378992
Sent from my SGP311 using xda app-developers app
Updated to 30 July build - includes the new Focal camera app. Yes, it has a few bugs with tablets and orientation. It's known.
Is root possible yet? I tried the supersu zip that was attached in op, but still needs the binary according to the supersu app. Do we need to adb push the binary?
Edit: Nevermind, just tried the latest supersu and works fine.
I can't get a restricted user to work for the life of me. All kinds of processes are force stopping and I couldn't pick trebuchet from the list on setup either, though I did manage to work around that with Apex eventually, though Apex kept crashing too.
I assume apps might have to support this (or at least launchers?) But core processes?
I did dirty flash so it's possible that has something to do with it.
Still digging around. I'll clean flash later to retry restricted users too.

Restricted profiles are not tested or a priority right now in CM I believe.
Got this working on my xtz SGP311 seems really quick so far recovery plays nice, only real issues I've encountered is that the screen flickers black every now and then using the aosp browser and MX player pro doesn't work as android 4.3 isn't supported yet which has nothing to do with the rom.
WiFi and GPS seem to working used google maps to find a location and navigate there had no issues with those yet.
Definitely something different over the Sony ui and less cluttered just need the sony remote
Gonna have a play with it and see how I get on with it lots of options to play with hehe

Check out the project by @Apache14 that brings infrared remote control support to non Sony ROMs!
Are you sure gps is working? I don't think it should be in this ROM...
I had a go at the open source IR by apache but had no luck getting it to work, but I'm not sure if I installed it right.
I'll have another play with GPS today as I've got more time and let you know I could have jumped the gun on this one lol. I quickly downloaded an app called GPS test and although it says the GPS is on it doesn't show anything else like coordinates or location I'll keep playing for now though.

Thanks a lot for throwing this together... everything seems to be working great, I'm impressed by focal.
I'm still struggling with is the absence of tablet UI (trying to hit the home softkey in landscape is impossible, so I've been forced to full!screen, which is working well), but it's a small price to pay for the jump from Sony's 4.1.2 to a functional 4.3 Rom.

Interesting. Out of interest, how do you use your tablet ? I'm just trying to work out if there is any link or difference - personally I thought the same, that tablet was good, until I used my Nexus 10... Then I was "sold" - tablet UI was sub-optimal. I tend to use the tablet with 2 hands - one holding it, another free across the top for use. I find keeping navigation to the centre more logical personally, and more ergonomic. It also keeps the notification tray at the top, consistent with the phone. At other times, I use the tablet as a "monitor" and type with a Bluetooth keyboard, where I do not interact with the touchscreen much (except at arm's length), and find phablet UI quite convenient. Moreso than I felt with tablet UI.
It's intriguing though. I am sure I can look at readding it some time, but I'm fairly busy so it will take a while. I noticed Sony seem to be moving to phablet UI for 4.2 as well though...
I hold mine on the sides and mostly interact with my thumbs, thus central on screen controls are hard to reach. But, to each his own. I also use Thumb Keyboard exclusively on my tablets, much more natural than trying to type with one hand holding with the other.
so yeah i finally got around to testing the GPS navigation and it just says "Searching for GPS" the whole time so confirmed its not working.
i also found a issue with the swipe to type on the AOSP keyboard as soon as i tried to use swiping it force closed the keyboard, not a big issue just thought id mention it.
i noticed you've done a couple of updates as well whats the best way to update the rom just flash as usual using the file in op?

Just like with CM nightlies, just flash the latest update right over whatever you have.
In rare cases other changes will be needed, maintainers will usually let you know in these cases.
I'm investigating GPS on 10.1 on the windy - it's proving to be a bit of a headscratcher, although it has many of the hallmarks of the same problem we had with the modem on mint (Xperia T) months ago. Unfortunately, we can't use the same fix/workaround we used on mint.
pulser, may want to check the CM10.1 thread for my SMD debugging patch, might give some useful info - although what I need to do is get a build environment together for stock kernels so I can apply that patch to .370 for comparison.
i hate to sound like a noob but i am still learning lol is it safe to just flash the updates with cwm or is it best to do it with the flash tool?
it seems like gps has got a lot of people scratching their heads at the moment but im sure with so many looking into it there is sure to be a solution soon
Edit: its OK I went ahead and flashed the update using cwm and it worked, I'm to impatient to wait lol but at least I've learned something
Updated to 10th August build
Will you continue to tweak now that official nightlies are out?

recaf - CAF enhanced AOSP for Xperia SP

Hello Boys and Girls,
Everyone at XDA loves AOSP based projects. However AOSP is designed only for the Nexus devices. For most other devices, a significant ammount of extra code needs to be added for them to run properly. For Qualcomm devices, most of this extra code is supplied by the Code Aurora Forums. Here you can find a variant of AOSP that is not only designed specifically for Qualcomm based devices, but it also includes various tricks and enhancements.
So today I'm introducing a little project I've been cooking up for myself, which might also be interesting for other Xperia SP users.
It's called recaf - adding the CAF optimizations back into your AOSP rom.
This is now based on Android 4.4 KitKat. On the surface, it looks almost exactly like pure AOSP as provided by Google. You wouldn't know just by looking at it, but under the surface there are lots of changes to dalvik, the frameworks and the hardware drivers to massively improve battery life.
However, pure AOSP sometimes feels a little bit featureless compared to advanced roms such as CyanogenMod, so I have included a few basic tweaks that I feel make life easier when using an AOSP-like rom:
CyanogenMod camera app - because AOSP camera app is rubbish
CyanogenMod cLock widget - because it's actually pretty nice
Integrated Superuser - it's right there in the settings menu!
exFAT and NTFS - needed for larger SDCards
Multicoloured notification lights - AOSP gives us white lights only
Quick settings - easily accessible by swiping down the right side of the status bar
Advanced reboot - Always available in the power menu
ADB and SU security - root access is disabled by default
So without further delay, here is your download link:
recaf-4.K1-20131212-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131207-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131202-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131129-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131127-huashan.zip
I assume you will also want to install GAPPS, the version I recommend is the FULL version created by the Paranoid Android team from THIS THREAD.
For your first install you will need to flash the boot.img from inside the zip - SELinux changes for Android 4.4 will cause the zip to fail on other recoveries.
If you want to chat about recaf, join the Freenode IRC chat room #recaf.

Known Major Bugs
Location services are currently broken for certain apps. fixed in 4.K1.
GSM data sometimes (very rarely) randomly disconnects until reboot - I need help to determine what causes this. If you can reliably reproduce this, let me know.
Android RunTime (ART) will fail at boot time fixed.
Known Minor Bugs
WiFi does not connect to WPA secured networks. WPA2 security works as expected.
For Superuser to work you need to change ADB access to apps and adb (in developer settings)
Language does not change in some parts of Android, most notably the Settings app. Most other apps work fine and I didn't touch the language code, so this is a CAF bug I will need to fix.
Custom notification colours for missed calls and voice mail don't work
LED on charging sometimes gets stuck when disconnected until reboot.
These are features, not bugs
Facebook sync cannot be activated.
Quick Settings poll
I created a poll about Quick Settings (discuss it there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550027
some feedback,
flashed rom+gapps= setup wizard FC
flashed rom=boot then reboot then flash gapps= profit
seems like integrated SU is not working properly for me though
Downloading...
One question though, did you manage to fix the "Phone" app battery drain issue?
Ahh yes the setup wizard will crash due to the above bug. You can skip it by pressing the four corners of the screen, start top left then go clockwise.

I have decided to switch to this one as my daily driver, pure stock 4.3 jellybean just the way i like it battery life is significantly better than cm10.2 and lag is non existent. Looking forward to future updates/bug fixes and of course AOSP kitkat roms!
Bug report: The notification light doesnt seem to work when charging via usb but works for notifications. Also, even though ive changed the notification lights to custom color values it still blinks white
ive attached a logcat below hope it helps.
Going to test this out as I'm currently running PAC and my battery ran out in 6 hours with 1 hour tops screen time. Hope this is better like the previous comment stated. Will post a small review afterwards.
Ok first off: battery life seems to be A LOT better than CM10.2/PAC.
Doesn't have SU installed by default, so I had to flash it.
Seems to be smoother than PAC. Might be placebo effect though.
1 question as well. Is there a way to enable facebook sync? I did it on CM10.* with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064859, but the CM10.2 apk doesn't work with AOSP

I noticed it works if you change the default notification colour, so I must have missed some part about the custom colours for apps.

Super user is for sure installed, but I think you need to enable developer settings for it to work. It's the exact same code as for CyanogenMod ( I didn't even fork it I just link to their projects) and I think super user is hidden and disabled there until developer mode is enabled. I'll add the code like CM has to hide it unless developer mode is enabled.

One question though, did you manage to fix the "Phone" app battery drain issue?

The phone app battery drain is a CM bug, it works perfectly fine in this.

Unfortunately I encountered the same issue on this ROM too, I'll re-flash and provide a log tomorrow.
undoubtedly the best work so far
the ram and the battery is what most pleased in this rom
but heating in many aspect
I did return to the stock expecting some solution
or next actulizacion
SuperUser is working fine for me .
-I've some force closes in Drive app; but i disabled this app so the force closes are gone.
-I suffer a reboot when i start the camera for first time -> The screen turns purple and like "melted" and after that turns off. And later turns on again (reboot). Note: i've this bug in CM10.1 and CM10.2 when i was playing HD videos.

I enabled dev options before flashing, but many apps still said, that there's no root.

I do agree with this, but I got all my phone numbers from facebook on stock and CM10.1.
sync all your stuff to google account, you have to login it in any ROMs anyway and facebook app drain battery alot

[ROM][T810/T815][8.x] LineageOS 15.1 20180722 [ABANDONED]

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community
Requirements:
- twrp 3.2.0+
- backup everything before install
- wipe data before upgrading from LineageOS 14.1 or stock rom
Install:
- Flash zip in TWRP
- Don't forget about gapps (arm 8.1)
Google apps should be installed via recovery immediately after installing ROM.
If you reboot into ROM before installing Google apps, you must factory reset and then install them, otherwise expect crashes.
Known issues:
unstable fingerprint
stuff, I haven't checked

Yeah! Thanks for all the work.
I flashed the rom (t810) but the orientation is upside-down: not easy to press the right buttons :laugh:
So I couldn't really test it further.

Screen is upside-down (orientation sensors are OK). And screen touch sensitivity is normal. So I see a button in left up corner and have to touch in right down corner where it actually has to be.

Congratulations bonuzz very happy to hear your success thanks a lot for your work
Ok one more thing can I use your work to build a different os please man?
( seem to be blind (or stupid) - Can someone please point me to a working TWRP 3.2 for the T810 so I am ready when the new build drops? Thanks a bunch!)
Edit: Sorry, found it. Stupid indeed.
I fixed drm stuff, so netflix is working now. I want to fix some small things before uploading new build, but I'm not sure I finish and make new builds today. @Androbots feel free to use all code from github
I suspect that the display is rotated 180 degrees because there are one too many hwrotation=270 entries between the gts2-common and gts210 device trees. I'm running my own build right now with all those extra ones removed, including having taken out the system_prop.mk file from the gts210wifi repo, since it's identical to the system.prop file already there. Out of respect for bonuzzz, I won't post my own build in this thread.
For those wondering, the official 3.2.1 TWRP works perfectly fine.
bonuzzz, I haven't tested your build yet, but if you managed to fix wifi and bluetooth, I take my hat off to you sir

Only t810 and t815 require rotation, so this parameter is in device specific config only. And if you have several strings it doesn't mean the image on display will rotate each time. It is just duplicate string.
Why not you finally create your own thread for your builds? I think it will be good idea:good: You have link to your builds in your signature, but you don't have any place where your users can ask you for help...
Nice to see U back @bonuzzz, especially with such amazing things ?
As always, I keep my fingers crossed for U and Ur great things for Android community. Keep on and NEVER give up! Thx for all ur efforts ?

Because right now my builds are in worse shape than yours, assuming you fixed wifi, bluetooth, the 180 degree display rotation, and everything else in your OP.
Edit: If the gts210vewifi is anything to go by, Oreo requires an hwrotation of 90, not 270 as in Nougat, for the proper orientation, courtesy of luk1337.

I have the same behaviour in tab s3, but I thought it is because of libs from another device. But it's very funny, in oreo rotation is in another side)
PS: I mean not only oreo builds...
Yup, setting hwrotation to 90 instead of 270 fixes the display being flipped. As for wifi and bluetooth, I will patiently wait for your expertise, bonuzzz

bt issue is just permission issue net_bt_stack --> bluetooth in init scripts
for wifi fix you will wait very very long time...
To be honest, I don't want to collect again the guys, who just "patiently waiting" for new commits from my side and fully depended from my work. Users will have cloned roms with same issues.

So why make the effort to build again? This is the same old story with you. One day, you are helpful and generous with your builds; the next day, you complain about not wanting to make any more effort than you had already made.
Please make a decision and stick with it: either do your best to fix the most basic functions and let someone like me help you the best way I can by building from your code often, and giving you full credit, so that we can all give you frequent feedback, or don't create any more threads and abandon the 2015 Tab S2.
widevine L1 support added. we dont need patched netflix apks anymore
@ripee I make roms for myself and share them with others. What's wrong with that? And yes, I'm helpful and generous when you write me pm. Just curious, nobody asked for help in public. And yes, everything is depends on my spare time.
Nougat builds are really abandoned. You don't believe me or what? Or I should to write anything else there when people ask for update builds?
I see you worry about my git. Calm down, please. Why do you think I upload sources for you? I uploaded sources for you and you published your builds just right after that without understanding what exactly changed and instead of help to fix remain bugs. I told you few months ago to choose one author and try to fix something. You didn't hear me. I don't need any credits. But I don't like liars, if we talk about one person here. And I don't want more "we don't care" teams here. I don't need any daily public builds. It will be disorganized development. At least no one else haven't tried to fix anything in my (nougat) sources...
So, in short, I will do what I want. I will upload builds when I want. I will add/fix/change in builds what I want and in my own priority. I spend my own time for that. Don't like? Don't use. Make something yourself. Stop depend from me and let me do my work. Thanks in advance.
I just saw Shiny thread here ^-^ . I look twice to make sure it is 815 not anything else.
Thank you very much. We all appreciated your work and effort.
If you want any help test, logcat or even setup machine for build I'm ready for that ^-*

Resurrection Remix 7.0.0 [Android 9] - Any experience?

Hi,
I just double checked the RR homepage if there is any Update regarding a new Mi5 Rom. And yes: Since a couple of days there seems to be a new ROM "RR-P-v7.0.0-20190220-gemini-Official" available. I can't found it within the Rom section on XDA.
Do you have any experience with the ROM? Battery, bugs?!
I know: It's very easy to flash and discover on my on. But maybe you can give some feedback or create a Thread within the XDA Rom section (not sure if only the dev's are allowed to).
https://get.resurrectionremix.com/?dir=gemini
Regards
I'm currently using it.
Only issue so far is ambient display that doesn't work.
Other than that it's really really fast
Its blazingly fast and give 7 hours of screen on time
Does ambient display work for you?
Or at least does the screen light up when you receive notifications?

I finally managed to flash the latest Version (20190307) with Firmware version 8.11.22. Ambient light is not working - Screen stays dark. Only LED showing up.
About battery usage I can tell u more soon - Right now it says up to 2 more days.
Performance is really incredible. How fast the apps are coming up after touching them - Nice.
Another thing: I somehow can't manged to set vibration only for the HW keys - Not the onscreen Keyboard. Anybody any idea?

Well, technically everyone is allowed to create threads, but what is expected always is that you use common sense and respect the work of others.
With that in mind, creating a thread for a ROM should only be done by its developer or maintainer or at least always only when politely asking the creators for allowance beforehand.
Review based on 16.03 build
Hi,
the 16.03 introduced new issues like random reboots 1-2 times per day.
The Spotify App isnot working properly as if you press buttons to open a sub-menu it lead into a App crash (Like "More from this artist"/ "More from this Album"/"Add to playlist"). I tried Beta/Alpha/stable App version but always the same.
I had lot of issues with push notifications. They came up like 20-30min after received something.
The battery drain and performance is still incredible. Better than on HAVOC OS on which I'm right now.
Ambient display still not working - Screen show nothing after receiving a notification.
Automatic brightness is not working properly from my perspective - It is much to "aggressiv" switching the screen brightness to high and toggling a lot.
Used firmware: fw_gemini_miui_MI5Global_8.11.22_c5d7ee6745_8.0
Right now I'm struggling with super low mobile data rate around 0,03MB/s. But I have the same issue with HAVOC Rom - So nothing to do with that rom.
(ROM was dirty flashed over 09.03 RR build. I switched now to HAVOC Rom which is much more stable)

Some prefer certain channels.
Some only release on telegram, some only on xda, some on both or more.
If you ask the creator, there might be one, if you want one to be there and feel up for maintaining it.
On Mi5Arsenal telegram a new version of this romm appeared. 20190414.
Has anyone tried it?
Can you check if ambient display works on this new version?
More importantly are random reboots gone in new bulid?
