First of all I hope this is in the write section. Anyway I unlocked my bootloader and flashed a custom ported MIUI 7 ROM, but it doesn't have root? Isn't it the norm for custom ROMs to be pre rooted? If not, then how do I go about rooting it? Thank you and apologies for noob question, haven't been in Android game in a long time.
In the security center app, you will see root permission.
move it to general or Q&A !!

Didn't notice that, thank you! However when I toggle a particular app, say root explorer, security crashes? How can I fix this??
I want to install the Google camera app on my MI5 but there r so many links in the main thread that I'm confused which one to download,and my phone is also not rooted.Do I have to root my phone before using the app? I already downloaded few apks but they force close each time.
Using Miui 9.2.1.0/android7.0
Thanks.

Hi Ahmad,
Not expert on this, but learning by doing.
First of all, you have to DO this:
- Make sure your device unlocked bootloader.
(

1. Flash custom Recovery (I suggest TWRP)
Link tutorial:
2. Root your phone (Highly recommend Magisk)
Link :
3. Process enable Camera2Api and Use Google Cam

It is normal to happen. To fix that:
You can use root explorer ( I prefer using Solid Explorer + SE Text Editor)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2
Go to:
/system/etc/camera
Find a file named:
msm8996_camera.xml
Open it with text Editor and find this near the bottom of the text.
<Position>FRONT</Position> <MountAngle>360</MountAngle>
There is two "Front" if you use "find" and change 360 to 270.
Restart.
Hope it's going well.
I made a simple youtube video for you
My Asus ROG Phone 2 is a "Tencent Game" version. I already unlocked the Bootloader and changed the ROM from CN to WW so my device warranty gone already. So should I keep root my ROG Phone 2 or should I keep unrooted. I mean after rooting which extra facilities or which helpful modification I will get? After rooting I deleted some bloatware app like "Armoury Crae", "Netflix", "Facebook", etc but then my phone couldn't reboot after deleting those apps, so I reflash the rom and did not root again. So what I should do with my Unlocked Bootloader phone? Should I keep it rooted or just keep unrooted? If rooted phone can give me some extra advanced feature then please explain me what are those! Please!
well, if you need explanation of what rooting enables you to do... don't root your phone.

If it is very difficult to you to explain then you need not answer the post!
what i wanted to tell you is that if you don't know what rooting does to your phone, then you probably don't need root. or start educating yourself.

But, just in case, I have some Magisk modules. I attached them. And, in addition, is extremely easy to root this phone.

Ou! Rly? I have to flash it in Magisk repository or its an apk?
Edit: tryed, flashed the 22-02 version and working... But is so imcomsistent. I can not change any parameter without crash the app.
i had zero issues with dolby atmos. you do have to follow the instructions on installing the mod.
here is the link of the mod i'm using:

I've flashed both so. Thanks!
And what's your equalizer to listen the steps? More highs than bass?
And when they are cropped? It would be amazing for the last part of the match
Thx mate!
it's the movie preset. uses a lot of compression to bring up the background noise, such as steps in pubg, and brings down the volume of gunfire.
They are adding modules like this in the Magisk TG Channel.
Could someone be useful for us?
I just got my hands on the mi 11 ultra, few days back I made the switch from oneplus 7 Pro.
my major concern right now is notifications from Instagram, Whatsapp & messenger.
So far I have tried, Battery restrictions, auto start, lock app from recent taps & active notification (from developer options)
however I am still unable to get instant notifications on idle screen. sometimes the notifications are delayed by few minutes or they wait for my attention (till i unlock the phone or open the particular app)
since I run an ecommerce business these notifications are crucial for me.
Kindly if anyone has been successful do share what worked for you?
Change ROM

Unlock your bootloader and flash global rom. Best rom for 11 ultra.
I switch between china stable, eu, and now global. No bug and great performance
Global Rom is super performing as well as chinese especially if you play with root. Obviously chinese rom is kore advanced as it works under different regulations and also more updated

Unfortunately, I have never rooted or changed ROMs on any of my android phone. hence unfamiliar with the procedure to do so. Just based of my research I think to use another ROM unlocking the Bootloader & rooting is required & by doing so, I will loss out on a lot of local (middle east-KSA) apps which are of essential use to me.

If you flash the eu ROM all the banking, payment and finance apps work fine
With root or without

No
Whatever you do you want get perfectly timely notification in china rom. Just switched to global rom that's only option.
Did you try to give full permission to Google play services and Google services framework? Also allow autostart to it. Check if by doing so whatsapp start working as intended. Afaik whatsapp relies on Google play services to function properly. On Global rom Google play services is a system app on china is a user app, the problem is that

Couldn't find auto start or permissions for both google play services and services framework.
If you could direct me to the thread on this forum with complete guide to switch to global rom it would be appreciated.
I am willing to give it a try since i have my OnePlus for backup
Very easy buddy, just use miflash if you don't know how to use it, later on I will give you a step by step guide

G'day
I'm sick of google and everything they are about. Don't be evil my arse. I already do the simple stuff like using brave browser and duck duck go search. I'm hoping someone can advise me on how to strip my phone of as much google as possible and replace with aosp alternatives. Or even just point me towards some guides on it.
I am using a Samsung galaxy a22 5g rooted with magisk stock rom.
Thanks
I think you might want to flash a custom ROM, then use something like MicroG Magisk, NanoDroid or FOSSApps. Ungoogling an already Googled stock ROM might be more pain than flashing something community developed.
I'm currently running Lineage with Magisk GApps (so I can remove them anytime) and I'm slowly getting ready for the transition. So I'm also looking for more information.
I set up a VPS for myself (might be an overkill for you, but inspiration nonethelss) and I'm hosting OnlyOFFICE Community there and using their apps, I also host my own BitWarden password storage and a mail server (was kinda pain to set it up with all the methods for spam verification). This way some of my most sensitive data is kept on an encrypted drive on a server I myself control.
Then there's getting apps which are mainly available through Google Play - I found that uptodown does host apks, but that's far from an actually viable option (considering you really have to trust them when you're downloading apps there). Alternative stores providing the same apps as Google Play are always kinda worrying to use & trust.
So that's my two cents worth and a starting point, I'll also gladly accept some tips & tricks to accomplish this entirely, it's a long-lasting dream to leave Google altogether.

i think it's better to use a custom aosp rom with no gapps
if you still want stock rom :
make a recovery backup of "system" just in case
mount system
the folders that have apps are :
system/app
system/priv-app
system/product/app
system/product/priv-app
(if you use A11+ check also system-ext/app and priv-app)
delete anyhing related to google
if you don't want to delete use lucky patcher or titanium backup to freez them
if you choose freezing, make a recovery backup of "data"

Hey thanks for the reply and info. Flashing an aosp custom rom would be my usual go to. However I've been on an oppo with unlockable bootlader for last 18 months and now I got this samsung I find there is zero rom dev on this phone. The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.

Cheers for this. Agree on the first statement but having been on an oppo with unlockable bootlader for last 18 months and now I got this samsung I find there is zero rom dev on this phone. The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.
Do you think I should go with a GSI rom? If safe and stable I'm happy to do the research because I'd love to get a custom aosp rom going on this.
Afaik this samsung can't even access fastboot gotta use the Samsung flashing software instead and the only thread on twrp for this phone is experimental and doesn't seem to be confirmed as working by anyone.
Hence why so far I've stuck with stock and magisk
I used to flash heaps of roms and kernels on older devices but this whole GSI thing is new to me. If it's dicey I'll go the TB route with the folders you pointed me to. Cheers

don't freez :

Cool cheers for your help mate. Touche on the last point. New job with nice pay bump coming so that will be the go I think.
I use Graphene OS on my Pixel 6 and CalyXOS on the 4a. Both are very good degoogled ROMs.
I built a Magisk module for this some time ago. However, it's very likely that it won't work anymore and will probably cause a bootloop. I'm only posting it in case someone wants to use the repo as inspiration.

you forgot to mention that both GrapheneOS and CalyXOS are available ONLY for the Pixel phones
and the Pixels have a unique feature - the bootloader can be locked back AFTER flashing a custom ROM
