How to apply substratum themes - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Hello again!
First let me give the details of my phone:
Rom: lineage os (official)
Android version : 9, pie
Root : magisk rooted
Recovery : orangefox (official and latest)
So, I've been using this rom for almost half a year now and official development of los for santoni seems to be at an end
I tried installing different roms for a better ui but not many were to my liking and which were, had a bad battery backup.
So I decided to "theme" the current rom..los.. and put substratum and installed some themes that were supposed to work for Android pie and above.
But they did not work even when I followed every step correctly. (I saw from YouTube tho lol)
So I want to know from you guys if you know how to apply themes maybe if there was a workaround ? It just in general how do I apply substratum themes

[ROM][PE-TL10] r7 - MoDaCo Custom ROM [EMUI Style]

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Honor 6 Plus PE-TL10!
READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs. A MCR release is designed to feel like a stock Emotion UI ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
This ROM is part of the 'Unified Honor ROM' project - ROMs with the same changes are available for all current Honor devices.
A MCR version with a more 'stock Android' like interface is under development.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!
Features
Based on the B521 custom ROM starter template (you may use MCR as a base for your own ROM)
ROM fully optimised with the unique MCR scripts
Updated power management policies to reduce instances of 'missing notifications'
All apps in ROM updates to latest versions (a considerable saving of over 1GB on /data!)
Busybox installed
sepolicy patched boot image ready for root
selinux permissive
Removed 'icons' from /system/themes (themes no longer need to include default icons again)
MoDaCo Custom Kitchen (coming soon!)
Multi user support
Multi window support
Preloaded Stockify theme stub
Numerous other small refinements - please see the gitlab commits for full details
This ROM is completely in version control at gitlab! https://gitlab.com/u/paulobrien/projects

Restart your device in recovery mode
PERFORM A BACKUP FROM THE MENU
Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to the SD card.

It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely.

Paul, thanks for this release. There isn't much Marshmallow material around to simply flash on this device.
Keep up the good work.
On which version of Android is based this ROM? Android 5.1 Lollipop or Marshmallow? Thank you!
Marshmallow!
More cool features coming!

No bugs.
After running a few days as my daily driver;
- Far less Wakelocks
- Good performance
- No bugs so far.
(Compared to OTA B521.)
I looks like I am the only one in the world owning a 6 Plus. By the way, still a very competitive Budget flagship, I must say.
Normaly the first "new custom rom" that can be normally flashed, gets the post "smoking" with replies.
Early days. The good stuff is yet to come. ?

Nice to hear. It might be 10 years ago that the first Modaco rom got flashed on my device. (HTC Touch? or Qteck 2020?) Old Scool.

I started with a Qtek S100, then a E-ten glofiish X500, followed by a HTC Hero as well, then another HTC, then some stuff from China like ZTE V987 and ZTE V5 Red Bull. Then I bought a Honor 6 Plus from China, but since last week I own a Oneplus 3
Now I'm finally upgrading the Honor 6 Plus to Android 6, so you're not alone anymore
Just updated to a Chinese version 6.2.1, but now I'm thinking of installing TWRP and MoDaCo.
(We probable both posted in the Honor 6 topic on Tweakers.net)
Paul, thanks for this ROM! I think it's really good. No bugs found at all and I like how clean it is. Like almost vanilla marshmallow
Yesterday I already had everything setup, but made the mistake to deinstall HwStart (I didn't now that's the Huawei launcher) with titanium backup. It wasn't possible to get it back with a restore. Then I didn't have a launcher anymore and then the system wouldn't reboot anymore.
So I did a new clean install this morning and everything is now fine again
Thanks paul for this nice clean rom!! Hoping for future updates =). The phone is running very fast and clean!

Can i install at Honor 6+ PE-UL00?
I would really like to flash this (coming from a MotoG2013 flashed at least 100 times...) but I received my PE-TL10 just a few days ago (3 ).
But I'm a bit worried about the "battery drain" issue with MM official OTA (and other small things...)
Did you manage to solve that? The battery drain I mean.
Keep up the good work and thanks for your effort Paul!
I flashed this rom with TWRP and i had Emui 3.1 and now it bootloops. Is this compatible with emui 3.1? Cause this is my 2th try to flash and fail. And is there official emui 4.0 for h60-L04 europe?
is it worth to flash it over my version (Official PE-TL10 C900B520) or not?
Cause it works flawlessly with the stock one

You're saying you flashed this on a h60-L04? I think it is meant for the PE-TL10 and therefor it bootloops on your h60-L04.
I did a clean install of this ROM on my PE-TL10 with TWRP and it works flawless.
I have the B520 variant, is it possible to install this ROM over it?
Or do I have to make other changes before doing that?
Thanks in advance

[ROM][7.1.2][OpenKirin's LineageOS 14.1 - Huawei P8Lite ][Update 31/12/2017]

So, since the other thread is pretty clogged up, I have decided to create a new one (even tough I know this is going to get even more clogged up...)
So the day has come, since the closed beta I have fixed some bugs and I have (finally) setup the downloads server, it's the right time.
I am not really good writing this kind of posts, you know what you want, and I am too tired to talk about the risks of not being careful flashing, etc...
Installation Instructions
Your device must be updated to EMUI 4.1 !
You should have already installed TWRP 3.1.1-0 !
Format data in TWRP and reboot device again into TWRP ( if you come from stock EMUI 4.1 )
Wipe Factory Reset in TWRP
Flash LOS 14.1 zip and reboot to System
Reboot device in TWRP and install Gapps ( optional )
Install Magisk or SuperSU if you need ROOT ( optional )
Enjoy

Misc
If you have a Honor 4X and the rom isn't compatible (it shouldn't be compatible so don't worry) send me a PM (unless you are @panchovix because I already know that he is interested lol), because I need a little group of people to test the adapted 4X version, but that rom will be published in the correct subforum, so please let's keep it tidy.
Please think before you post, I wouldn't like to reach 50 pages within 2 weeks, so if you just want to post "OMG SO HYPED" do it in the other thread or don't do it at all.
P.S: The Github repo will be updated as fast as I can, I understand that some people want to port roms now that we have reached 'certain stability', but I am just one person and my time is limited.

@XePeleato OMG SO HYPED, ok nope haha, thanks man, finally it is here now on XDA, good luck on the rest (because just watching there are just little bugs, atleast for me), as always i say it to you, Good job! and Thanks for remembering us 4X users!
@MarcoPLs @Zizo17 @ericotena @keikari good luck here, we have someone that want to help us send him a PM, and if you know more people using the 4X (i know there are more, probably you that are you reading this :I), PM him (don't comment here, he doesn't want to inundate the thread)
And for you P8 lite users that can get the rom working already, you are lucky! enjoy the rom, for me it is stable for daily use in my case
it's the same rom from the other thread? but on a zip file?
what are the requirements to safely flash this trough twrp?
@Z3NG3R1 this is different one from htcmania, this one has a lot of less bugs, and yes on a zip file
i think you should know how to flash roms at this moment, make a backup and flash it, if something goes wrong restore lol (flashing custom roms has no requeriments, except for having OBV unlocked bootloader and twrp)
Oh wow! So, those are the only bugs? Everything else is up and running? Cool. I'll try this. I can't say thanks enough. @XePeleato the site isn't loading??
@panchovix yeah, I know how to backup and flash a ROM...but what I was saying is that in the toher post, the were saying that you needed a different twrp recovery bro...so that's why I asked...but I'll install it right away then! I'm so happy that this phone is getting custom roms!!!
@Z3NG3R1 oh i see, reading the update binary it seems you need that twrp itself recognizes your phone as hi6210sft (this depends on TWRP) and ALE-L21 (this depends of build.prop), so if you have both you are good
@panchovix well...I think I have both..my twrp version is 3.0.2.0 and my phone is ALE-21 converted to dual sim..do you think I'm good?

WoW!! Great work thanks!
The Play store is working?
seems the link died or it is saturated, atleast i got the download before the site went down, weird
So, if you get the ear speaker working i will flash it on my Honor 4c, and try it for daily use

Please report bugs to Xepeleato only with a logcat file. There are free Apps for logcats available in playstore. The Dev can only fix bugs if he knows what went wrong.

We will NOT be shipping root baked into the ROM.
Root will be a downloadable zip based install similar to gapps installation (only need to flash it once).
Home builders that want to bake su back into the ROM can use the command ‘export WITH_SU=true’ prior to building.

Is there ota updates yet?

Which is most Stable and Secure ROM ?

Hi Guys,
I am currently on official ROM on my Redmi 4X. I want to install custom ROM. I want stability and security
Could someone please suggest the best ROM I should opt for ?
Android 9 based ROMs are more stable than Android 10 but that doesn't meant Android 10 ROMs are not much stable but Android 9 may not have latest security patch. it depends upon your need.
I would suggest you for Havoc OS both based on Android 9 and Android 10.
Just last month Redmi 4X got 4.9 kernel and many Android 10 ROMs started supporting it which is great. in my opinion you should give it a try on latest Havoc OS.
If you want a custom roms for a daily use then Lineage os 16 is the answer. Yes Los dosnt have any "awesome" extra feature but it is very stable and secure. Another good rom for daily use is Pixel Experience.
The two rom I mention may not offer crazy customization, awesome "extra features" or the most up to date kernel (4.9) but for daily usage they are the best imo.
I use Los 16 with no root (22 april build), its clean, light and quick. Most importantly I'm lucky enough to pass the safetynet with it so I can use my device for banking, pokemon go, netlflix, snapchat and many others.
Edit:
FYI if you want to use a custom rom you must prepare yourself to not be able to use banking app. Even if you dont root your device you may not be able to pass the safetynet on a custom rom. Safetynet is what google use to check wheter your device is "safe" or not. Of course you can find a some workaround to "bypass" the safetynet but I wouldn't recommend you to do it because it may pose a security concern.

Really appreciate your suggestion.
I also narrowed down to Linage OS 16 and pixel experience ROM. I have some follow up question:-
1- You mean other custom ROMs may not be able to pass the safety net. But linage OS 16 able to pass safety net, right?
2- I saw official page but not thread on XDA for official linage OS 16? You directly refereed to official page?
3- Have you tried latest (10th June) build of Linage 10 OS?
3- I want Android pie based Pixel experience ROM which I suppose is more stable then Android 10 based. But on official page it have only android 10 based download link. Could you pls share the download link for android pie based ROM ?

1. No, most rom "should" be able to pass the safetynet if you don't root it. But.. it doesnt mean 100% you can pass. Even if you use the same rom as me it doesn't mean you'll pass. In the end it all boils down to "how and what u use" to flash the rom and luck. Im speaking from personal experience. Not long ago in another device, I changed to a custom rom and I cant pass the safetynet even tho I dont root it.
Fyi I just changed to Pixel Experience plus in my redmi 4x and I'm still able to pass the safetynet. It's luck really.
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...t/rom-2017-08-07lineage-14-1-t3653016/page262
This is the official page for Lineage OS, the title of the thread isnt updated yet but it is the official thread for Los 16.

Sorry I didnt see question 3 n 4...
3. Yes I tried the 10th june build of Los 16 before switching to pe plus (android 10). The 10th june build as far as I'm aware of is almost the same with the 22th april build. It just have the newest security update and under the hood improvements.
I have 2/16 redmi 4x with goodix fingerprints. I dont have any fingerprints issue with the newest official pixel experience plus. I have tried other android 10 custom roms briefly and I dont see any issue with fingerprints. Ironically when I installed Los 16 (22 april build) my finger print dont work, I restored my persist backup to fix it. No matter what dont forget to back up everything.
I dont have official pixel experience pie. But I do have an unofficial pixel experience plus pie(android 9), I have not tried this rom yet but If you want I can share it.

There were issue with Goodix fingerprint sensor but as far as i remember it's been solved. my device has FPC fingerprint sensor so had no such issues.
I haven't seen anyone complaining about fingerprint sensor in recent few weeks so i can say it is working fine.
If there is any ROM specific issue with fingerprint that someone talking then i don't know because currently i am on Havoc 2.9 and since last week i haven't checked respected ROMs threads and its discussions as i was busy.
4.9 Kernel been added to Redmi 4X which is greatest thing ever could have happened with device, actually i wasn't expecting it as Redmi 4X is almost a 3 years old device.
4.9 kernel improves overall performance of device and basically you can expect even longer support for Redmi 4X in the future.

After trying PE for a few days here is what I have to say about it
Pros:
- as expected, it has more features than Los
- google assistant is quite usable
- surprisingly I don't see much difference in battery life compared to lineage os.
- overall it's pretty good and stable ROM
Cons:
- now I'm using havoc os because it can't read my third Sim card(it can read my other two just fine)
- Small font, the biggest font size it has is still smaller than the default font size in LOS. This issue affects me pretty heavily because I do hours of reading in my phone. In Los I can read for whole days without problems. But in PE after only reading for few hours I'm already at my limit.
Summary: PE is pretty good. But unfortunately it can't read one of my sim.
Additional info:
Using Lineage is will encrypt your phone, if you have decrypted your device, flashing Los will automatically encrypt it. Some twrp or other custom recovery can't read encrypted phone.
I use this lovely unofficial twrp by pranaya 2005, the maintainer of Pixel Experience for santoni. MOD EDIT: Telegram link removed, please read the STICKY!
If you have encrypted device, your phone will ask for password. Most android 9 Roms don't ask for password. Most android 10 Roms (pixel experience, havoc) ask.
To fix this issue just go to twrp -> wipe-> format data.
It'll decrypt your device but remember to backup everything cause it'll wipe all data on your device.

Hi,
I finally decided to go with official lineage OS 16.1. Can you pls check me steps? Because, I am hearing lot about persist backups? fingerprint issue etc.
How to take persist backup?
Should I also take ROM backup using TWRP?
1- Unlock boot loader using official Mi software.
2- Flash recovery to TWRP
3- Wipe everything
4- Install ROM
5- Install Gapps

Yup...
0. Pick a day where you're absolutely sure you wont need to use your device for a whole day.
1. Unlock bootloader (I unlock my device unofficially cuz I hate waiting period. But I still recommend you to do it the official way).
2. Flash twrp (or any other custom recovery you like)
4. Back up everything via custom recovery. It may take up to 11 gb of storage so make sure you have more than enough free storage in your external sd card. If you dont have enough storage just backup everything except system partition which take a LOT of storage.
5.PRAY TO GOD
5.1. Use lucky charm(s)
5.2. - 5.9. Do everything you think may help with ur luck
6. Wipe Everything
7. Flash rom & gapps(if it isnt included in rom).
9. Reboot.
10. Enjoy... or not.
Note:
- it is what it is. Do it at your own risk.
- if ur fingerprint dont work and nothing happens even tho youve restored your persist back up. Go to thread about Los 16 fingerprind doesnt work created by me, there I gave link to a solution that works for my device.
- If 30-60 minute passes n ur phone hasnt boot then your phone maybe stuck in a bootloop. Go to twrp and reflash or try another rom. For me it usually takes less than 10 minutes to boot.
- if ur phone suddenly dies n you cant boot, fastboot or go to recovery. First, calm down. Take the back of the phone off carefully (you dont want to accidentally tore the fingerprint cable off). Try disconnect your battery from the phone n reconnect it. Then try go to fastboot or recovery.
- if reconnecting the battery dont work use edl mode (just search for edl mode redmi 4x for a guide).
- If edl mode dont work go to phone service. If they cant fix it just buy a new phone.

After trying PE for a few days here is what I have to say about it
Additional info:
Using Lineage is will encrypt your phone, if you have decrypted your device, flashing Los will automatically encrypt it. Some twrp or other custom recovery can't read encrypted phone.
I use this lovely unofficial twrp by pranaya 2005, the maintainer of Pixel Experience for santoni. MOD EDIT: Telegram link removed, please read the STICKY!
If you have encrypted device, your phone will ask for password. Most android 9 Roms don't ask for password. Most android 10 Roms (pixel experience, havoc) ask.
To fix this issue just go to twrp -> wipe-> format data.
It'll decrypt your device but remember to backup everything cause it'll wipe all data on your device.

Hi, sorry to bother you. Do you think you can upload the recovery you mentioned? Looks like the original link has died.

which havoc os version you are using on redmi 4 ?
I Am facing lot of problems with custom Rom such as usb not connecting to pc,middle touch not functioning , calls not working . I've done factory reset my device and everything working fine except phone not connecting to pc.
I don't know how i am possibly going to unlock bootloader it it's not going to connect pc.
i've updated pc driver and work through all solution, i think the problem is with miui stock rom 11 update as the same issue is posted on other threads.
I'm afraid I will also need to switch to a Custom ROM sooner or later, although my experience with santoni Custom ROMs was not too good. There was always something broken - be it Deep Sleep, GPS fix or fingerprint sensor.
At the moment I am trying to decide between
Resurrection Remix 8.6.x (Android 10)
Havoc OS 3.8 (Android 10)
AICP 15.0 (Android 10) - although an older version ~1 yr ago did not work too well
LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9)
and don't know what to choose. Stability and battery runtime are most important, I also need some basic customization, but no senseless bulls**t like animated unicorns running over the screen or things like that.
Which of the beforementioned work(s) well?
If someone still reads this...
I've tried RR and Havoc. I liked both and did not find any major bugs during my short tests, but the fact that full device encryption did not work is a big no-go.
Now I'm on LineageOS 16.0 official (with older Android 9) and despite the fact that there could be some more features and customization possibilities I am very satisfied with stability and performance. Encryption worked when formatting userdata with OrangeFox-R11.0_0-Stable-santoni and afterwards using OrangeFox-R10.0_3-Stable-santoni.

Question Flashing Android 13 based ROMs, how?

I'm seeing popular ROMs like EvoX and ArrowOS having official builds running on Android 13, and I'm curious how can I get them running on my Note 10 Pro, so any idea how to flash them on TWRP?

Install lIke always ???
:: download image, boot to twrp, clear relevant partitions ( see thousands threads before ), install .zip or image of rom, maybe install gapps and magisk , etc.
Go through the advertisements, but first understand whats going on , before you brick your device
Good luck !

There's one catch, you apparently need an Android 11 build of TWRP to flash Android 13 mods, due to odd issues on Android 12 TWRP builds

I think that the only person who can answer You is Yourself, by installing and testing each of the beta version of the 3 roms Android 13 existing at this moment for the Redmi Note 10 Pro.
Why ?
It’s a bit early as these 3 A13 roms are very recent and no many persons have already tested them.
I installed once Arrows 13, I find this rom very promising but I can’t use it as daily driver because I’m missing features which I have with A12 crDroid like separate volume for phone and notifications, 2 buttons navigation, advanced restart, MIUI camera, …
The download link for the second one seems to be not available for the moment.
The third one is total new (today) and the download link for the Redmi Note 10 Pro seems not to be yet loaded.
The best for You is either try by yourself or wait some time for having the advice of other users.

All depends of what you are expecting of the rom.
This morning I installed for the second time the last version of "Android 13 Project Elixir" on XDA forum :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ir-official-thirteen-aosp-05-09-2022.4489275/.
I gave my opinion about it (see and read last post of the thread Elixir).
The only point about which I will never discuss is the battery draining bacause it depends not only from the rom but also of the way you are using your smartphone and from the applications you have installed and are using.
Most, if not all, android 13 custom roms are still wip regarding the customisation, almost barebone. Miui camera might get ported to a13 once every bugs has been squished, meanwhile gcam should be a better alternative (see the dedicated thread about it). My advice: sticks to a12 until all customisation has been migrated to a13, unless you're willing to be a tester.
