Steps to upgrade from custom pie to custom q - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I'm running havoc 2.7 and I want to migrate to Android q.
Before doing a clean install I would like to know what steps I should follow.
As far as I know I need first to "download stock rom: download latest beta 20.1.21" (from havoc's note). Where do I download it ?
It's been a while I'm looking for tutos and wanna try A. Q.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Same as when u installed havoc 2.7
* Back up any important data
1. Wipe system
2. Flash android q ROM
3. Magisk if needed
4. Restart
* No need to clear internal storage for clean wipe.

GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF

Hi,
I've just downloaded the latest ROM "GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF" for my Samsung Note GT-N7000. http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/roms/SweetJB/GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF.ziphttp://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/roms/SweetJB/GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF.zip Could anyone tell me how to install this ROM? Do I have to unzip this RAR-file first? And if so, what then? Could I make use of the program Odin3.
I still am quite new at this and I am always a bit uncertain when upgrading my phone. Again, I really could do with some good advice from one of you guys.
Thanks again!
Robert.
No need to unzip the file. it needs to be flashed using CWM recovery

Thank you for your swift reply.
My phone is rooted and therefor I think I have CWM installed. Also, I earlier installed the RAR-file: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN, I think I can remember that it was also done with the CWM recovery; It went all smoothly. I know that I didn't have to wipe my phone and/or reset it into factory settings at that time. Is that still the same with this installation? Because I found this video on the internet http://www.cursed4eva.com/multi-window-galaxy-note/, which seems to say otherwise, and now I'm having second thoughts. Are you known to a video that would make it more clearly for me in how to act?
I hope to hear from you soon again.
Thank you,
Robert.

Hi,
I just read these instructions, but I still have so many doubts that I could really do with some extra help. I am sorry, that I sound like a real amateur but that's because I really am in this matter.
Like i said, earlier (a few weeks ago), I've eventually (after so many of my questions having answered by you guys) succesfully rooted my phone by installing the RAR-file: CWM-SuperSU-v0.87. I also succesfully installed the Dutch ROM version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN and I also had to install the RAR-file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed.
Now, reading your instructions in the link that you gave me:
1) Make a backup of your current ROM
2) Download Sweet ROM Team V5 and Philz JB Kernel and place on sd or external sd card (remember where you put it)
3) Boot cwm recovery
4) Flash any Philz JB Kernel (after 3.1 cwm) - available here
5) Reboot Recovery
6) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik (IMPORTANT)
7) Mounts Storage and Format System, Format Data AND Format PreLoad (IMPORTANT)
8) Flash Sweet ROM Team V5 JB
9) Wait until it says Reboot then Reboot phone. First install will take some time as it is building cache
could I not "just start" from point 5, or would that just not work? I still have the the RAR-file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed installed on my ExternalSD-card and I've also placed the SweetRom on my ExternalSD-card...
Am I correct to presume I am losing all my data following this procedure?
Could you please link me to a video where I can watch the whole installation process as my guide?
Thank you again!
Robert,
Netherlands.
Fist take backup of apps , contacts, sms , call logs etc, Then Do follow instruction below
1) Reboot Recovery
2) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik (IMPORTANT)
3) Mounts Storage and Format System, Format Data AND Format PreLoad (IMPORTANT)
4) Flash Sweet ROM Team V5 JB
5) Wait until it says Reboot then Reboot phone. First install will take some time as it is building cache

How to flash AOSP-based ROMs

Hey guys, judging from the number of users between Slimkat, CM, and Mokee that are having trouble installing, here is a guide to install any AOSP-based ROM for the Xiaomi Mi3
Installation Guide:
Be on a KitKat ROM before flashing
You must have a custom recovery installed that allows SELinux.
Download the Xiaomi Mi3 build .
Download the gapps
Disable True Dual Boot
Fully wipe your device from Recovery if you are not coming from the ROM you're flashing already.
Install ROM on System 1
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Reboot
Enjoy, hit the thanks button
Would be rather helpful if you explain it in a bit more detail. People who don't know some of the things written above will be left even more confused.
Agreed, some newbies do not know all the acronyms and versions... I know KitKat is Android 4.4.x , but what custom recovery? TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project)? Clockword Mod? The Mi3 W (Snapdragon 800 chipset?). Anyone else want to expand / pitch in?
Thanks.
get the latest recovery from either twrp or cwm. It'll work. just be sure you get the correct build.
CANCRO is the international version (snapdragon)
and most of the roms are for cancro only

Hi Bro, I am a newbie here, don't know anything at all. Can you help a bit here?
1. Kitkat rom:-> any of the miui rom will work? just the number > 4.4x ?
2. How to install custom recovery, can you give a link for mi3?
3. You meant download from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/aosp-rom-leaked-t2876646/ ?
4. Install Slim on System 1 :- Can you give a link?
Is it just me or does formatting cache with CWM take forever on this device? I'm wating for at least fifteen minutes now and it used to take just seconds on my old device. I know the MIUI revocery had that annoying 98% bug but CWM shouldn't be affected by the same thing right?

Most stable ROM for Galaxy S5 mini

Hi
I'm searching for a custom ROM for my mom's gamaxy s5 mini. Touchwize is very buggy on her devices, so i'm looking for a stable ROM.
I'm not specific looking for a ROM that has a lot of features but they are always welcome.
What ROM do you guys suggest?
Thanks
stock rom with custom kernel

Custom roms for the S5 Mini are still on BETA stage. They have some bugs, an higher battery drain and some features are unsopported. Stock rom with a custom kernel and ROOT os the best way. Also, don't forget to format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem.

What kernel do you suggest?
And how do I format data and cache partition into F2FS filesystem? And before I do that, in what filesystem are they formated originally?

I suggest this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-kernel-t3130662
You can format the two partitions into the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery. Normally, on every phone, they are formatted into the ext4 filesystem (you can also read it before formatting)

Last question.
Why only format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem? And not the other partitions?

Because only these two partitions have this possibility.
What custom kernel would you recommend for G800H? And what is the advantage of formatting the partitions into F2FS?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS should tell you why you want this (It's a FS designed especially for mobile devices that use flash memory for storage).
Sm-g800h or sm-g800f???
Info: model SM-G800F, baseband G800FXXU1BPC4
I had the same question as TS and listened to the advice of @Andrea224 by flashing the custom kernel mentioned in this thread.
I started with the stock 5.1.1 ROM.
- First I flashed the kernel using Odin3.
- Then I flashed TWRP 3.0.0 recovery using Odin3.
- Then I re-formatted \data and \cache F2FS booting in TWRP.
All went well.
When I boot in Recovery I got the question to mount read/write and the warning about not able to receive OTA updates.
When I exit Recovery I get the question to install SuperSU.
Coming from a long line of HTC devices the above questions are new to me.
What do they mean? I once did choose to install SuperSU. Is my phone rooted now? Or should I still flash the CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5 file?
Also in TW I get the questions about not having an original software installed. Is this about Knox? How can I disable this?
Concluded: Have I done all the correct steps to have a stable system?

Now, I will explain to you how to get it work properly:
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the latest update of the TouchWiz for your country with Odin. (If you are on CM13, into TWRP: 1- Do a backup of your data; 2- In Wipe -> Advanced Wipe select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data and wipe these partitions; then select Cache and Data and format both to ext4; 3- After all, flash TWwith Odin)
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash SuperSU with CF-Auto-root.
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the TWRP 3.0.0 with Odin.
- When you are into recovery: 1- Tick the option for never show this message on every reboot into recovery and then swipe to allow modification; 2- Do a backup of your Data; 3- Flash the custom kernel; 4- Format Data and Cache to F2FS; 5- Restore the backup of your Data; 6- Reboot the phone and DO NOT allow to install SuperSU if it ask to you. (If after the reboot, the phone says that your device isn't rooted, flash another time CF-Auto-root)
- With the kernel and root installed, now is time to delete some apps: 1- Download and install RootExplorer; 2- Go into "system" -> search SecurityLogAgent.apk into the folder called "app" or "priv-app" (I don't remember in which folder is it) and delete it. Naturally, you have to grant root access to the app.
Now you have a good and stable rom. Also, if you want to debloat the stock rom, you can use this ZIP -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-urwsoft-barebone-cleaner-t3043479 (this is for the S5, but it's compatible with the S5 Mini) or you can delete manually some apps through RootExplorer. If you have some problems, contacts me.
With Root Explorer you mean the payed version?

Yes, just search on Google the apk.
Did all the steps above except for the URWsoft BareBone Cleaner. I had to reflash both Autoroot and TWRP through Odin twice. Weird. By removing SecurityLogAgent.apk I was finally able to enjoy my device without being warned all the time. Nice!
I have noticed that after every reboot my Wifi connection settings are lost. Anybody else experienced this?

It's a bug, it appears when you flash a custom kernel. To fix it, go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65568464&postcount=10
I'm sorry for restoring such an old thread but my question is the same.
Which is the best rom for G800F?
Custom roms I see that have still many known bugs
Stock rom ok, but how about debloating it? I haven't found a debloated version, nor a guide/script to debloat it automatically.
And what about the kernel? Which is the best kernel for stock rom? And for custom roms?
Thank you

I use Root Package Disabler from play store, it has in-built bloatware list that you can disable/freeze.
Very convenient and effective.
How about Resurrection Remix MM? It's marked as stable and it seems that everything is working in the changelog and comments.
Or LOS 13 too seems everything is working (but I can't find confirmation in comments)
I'm using this one
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-2-t3562523
It's 7.1.2 RR. It's perfection. I'm not even kidding I've used it for 3 months and it's stable as hell. On top of that it has million features that come with RR roms. Battery life is really good too.

Can I install 4.9 kernel rom using OrangeFox R10?

We've seen the rise of 4.9 kernel since last month. Maybe it's my time for changing rom since I got bored with what I am using right now. So as the title stated, is it working? also is OTA updates still working with this recovery? If it's not or you're not sure which recovery should I use?
4.9 kernel is being Pre-installed on many new updates of android 10 ROMs.
So you can choose and flash ROM which had 4.9 kernel pre-installed. Not sure if it available separately to flash, i would avoid to flash it on 3.18 since they are different and i wont want to cause any issue with device.
but if a ROM already has 4.9 kernel pre installed and there is 4.9 custom kernel available to flash then there should be no issue(but do check flashing guide first)
I did flashed latest build of Havoc OS which is as writing this comment Havoc-OS-v3.5-20200509 and it was running great, but it had slow charging issue and device was getting warm than normal charging so i went back to Havoc 2.9.
I flashed ROM with latest OrangeFox recovery and had no issue while flashing(i did backup everthing to avoid any issue) but it did went just fine.
Currently waiting for Havoc os update.

So you did a clean install for a zip if it had 4.9 in update and currently installed was 3.18?

I did clean flash. if you are using any 3.18 kernel rom then clean flash is necessary to flash 4.9 kernel rom. do backup everything including persist backup too, to avoid any issue.

Well procedure is already mentioned in respected ROM thread(s) and it is pretty much the same for all the ROMs, no any different flashing method required for Redmi 4X unless it's instructed.
1. Backup everything in your device.
2. Download latest ROM Gapps of your choice. Magisk optional.
3. Reboot to recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, vendor. (wiping internal storage optional).
4. Flash ROM and Gapps.
5. Reboot to system.
Tanks for your answer,
Just try to flash the havoc-os3.x via recovery after wiping the system,data etc...as the procedure said with orangefox and It ended in an error message...
I should restore my previous rom
The error message indicates that the rom was no for my device santoni. I try to capture the message but I don't find the picture in the orangefox folder...
Interesting. I'm currently on latest release of LOS16.1. Want to try 10 roms in the future. So theres needed a full wipe to be able flash 4.9 kernel with latest roms? How their performance and battery life compared to pie roms? TY
