Gsi - Xiaomi Redmi 8 Questions & Answers

Can anyone help me with gsi Rom in Redmi 8 no matter which Rom I boot in I get brightness slider bug or the WiFi stops working

its probably because you didnt fully follow the instructions (kernel i guess). IMHO its better to use a full custom instead, there are a few already in our subforum

Better if you use custom ROMs, there many available for redmi 8.
If you still wanna use Gsi and having brightness bug
Here is possible solution
For brightness: Open settings -> Go in "Phh Treble Settings" -> "Misc Features" -> Scroll until you are in backlight menu -> Select "Force alternative backlight scale" and "Enable auto-brightness overlay" -> then deselect both and reboot
Hope this well help you

Gps config (rom jb 4.1.2)

Hello guys,
I tested three Rom (JB 4.1.2):
-Paranoid Android v2.52
CM10-rc3 unofficial
AOKP build-5 (in use)
and I had the same problem with GPS (no fix). I tried these three file (gps.config) but nothig.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Any solution?
thanks David
Ps:sorry for the bad english
Seems like many many many people are having this issue. Anybody know a fix or cause? I tested most of the google results and nothing has fixed the gps locking problem, yet.
Yeah, seems too be the same problem here too. So I probably give up with any CM based ROM for now and maybe back to Zeus.
In my opinion, gps_config2 is the best configuration but you have to erase double ntp_server (choises ones between italy or europe).
Then if u have Hidden Menu :
1.goto hidden menu using 3845#*970#
2.goto gps test option
3.then goto protocol setting
4.Then goto user plane setting
5.ENABLE SLP AUTO PROVISION
6.Goto SLP setting,then SELECT LGE SUPL (if u have google, or Google if u have LGE )
Did this work or not work for anybody?

[DISCUSSION][Q&A] MIUI Builds

I have made this thread as a common thread for all the builds out there, currently, two. One is the russian build and other is the miuiandroid build.
You can discuss here the bugs and ask questions about the bugs you have been facing. Hoping this thread would be a productive one and help the MIUI builds get more stable.
I'm in process of adding the links and making a FAQ for the MIUI v5 ROMs.
Those, who are having sim card PIN issues:
1. Be on any non-miui android rom(if you are on miui - reinstall rom to any cm/stock etc).
2. Go into the settings app > security & privacy > setup SIM card lock > disable "lock sim card"(atleast that's how the path looks on miui).
3. Install miui rom (follow specific roms guide).
For those having GPS issues:
1. Install "russian v3" miui rom (should be > here, has got gapps/franco kernel preinstalled) <, since this is the first and the only one (so far) rom that makes the gps sensor work on my nexus (might be not required on newer roms)).
2. Go into "google settings" app(not the default android app, instead the one which looks like this: this or this ) > Location > disable and reenable the "Access Location".
Gps should work after this.
For those, who are missing e-mail application:
Download it from > here.
Missing ROOT permissions?
1. Go into "System and Security" folder on desktop > Permissions.
2. Select "Root" > Enable "Enable Permission manager".

Thanks for putting this together! I was starting to get lost trying to keep up with 2 ROM builds along with all of the patches. I had a hell of a time yesterday when I flashed the version in the OP. Stupid me forgot to disable PIE in PA so when I flashed MIUI I didn't have any navigation buttons at the bottom, doh! I spent quite a while just trying to flash PA back so I could fix that. So, currently I'm back to PA and taking notes so I can flash the Russian version successfully today, fingers crossed.

Just do a refresh in the gallery and wait a few minutes. They will show up.

You can download the gallery refresh app from the market and run that and wait 20 minutes and that should fix it.
Whatsapp Conncetion Problem
I can't access via Whatsapp. It's only my problem?
I'm on Russianv3 and for some reason my phone isn't working lol. I mean, I can open up the phone app, make and receive calls. No dialing tone nor sound when talking.
Although when flashing a ROM like lets say, Euroskank's ROM, it works fine.
I'm guessing I'm flashing this incorrectly?

I restored mine from backup, not sure where it comes from really, but i guess most likely it is from new hangouts(talk)/google+ or less likely from google play music.

Just tried it.. still nothing.
Flashed a different ROM on, and the phone works fine.
I think it's the process of how I'm flashing?
Wipe Factory/Cache -> Install ROM -> Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache -> Reboot.

Detailed Instructions of flashing are here: Install MIUI V5 ROM on the Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus
I've come up with a hypothesis.
The Russian version of MIUI uses Franco's kernel, which contains a modified ram-disk. I've been trying to flash the latest Franco Kernel on top of that, which causes it to stick at the boot logo.
The only people that I've seen successfully flash another kernel on top of the Russian Version are using either Harsh's or Faux's Kernels, both of which (I believe) don't touch the ramdisk. I'm going to try to flash both Faux's and Harsh's kernels, as well as others that don't modify the ramdisk.
If this works, then it means that the tweaks that the kernel needs to boot (or at least some of them), reside in the ramdisk.

Here's how I flashed. First, in TWRP, I did advanced wipe (system, dalvik, cache, data), and then a factory reset. Then I flashed build 3 (three) of the russian MIUI, and without rebooting, flashed the kernel I wanted to test. I then wiped cache and dalvik one more time, and rebooted.

Carbonized from my pretty cool Nexus 4
Best Antutu : 24258 / Best Quadrant : 8643

latest nightly broke my ears

Is it just me? Latest nightly boosted the volume so much on my find 5 that the first step of the sound bar is as loud as the previous nightly at max volume...
Call quality went down the hill too, I suspect this is related to the volume issue.
Try this : DSPManager -> sound control -> presets -> select "stock"
that fixed it for me ..thx
The fix for this broplem™ is under review at Gerrit ATM: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/3597/

Thanks. I just flashed my first self build, and thought that was the cause, but the official nightly was the same. My build worked after all. :good::laugh:

★ [FAQ][CM10.1/10.2/11][Galaxy S Advance] & [How You Can Really Help] ★
Hi, there! I hope this can help those who ask some common questions in all threads or just don't read the OP or the OP hasn't Q&A.
Before we start know that this thread was originally created by @mauam and I just made a little changes. Go to his original thread and hit thanks!
Q: How to upgrade from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean?
A: Follow this tutorial.
Q: Where can I download CyanogenMod ROMs?
A: Go here to download.
Q: How to install/update CyanogenMod ROMs?
A: Follow this tutorial.
Q: Where I can find GApps?
A: You can download here or here.
Q: How to enable the Developer Options?
A: Settings -> About phone -> click 7 times on build number.
Q: How to enable advanced reboot?
A: Settings-> Developer Options-> Advanced reboot.
Q: How to change time of backlight?
A: Settings -> Buttons -> Backlight -> Illumintation timeout.
Q: How to enable/disable backlight?
A: Settings -> Buttons -> Backlight -> Uncheck "Illuminate buttons".
Q: How to enale/disable softkeys haptic feedback?
A: Settings -> Sound -> Check/uncheck vibrate on touch.
Q: I installed CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11 ROM but I can't find radio FM app. Any solution?
A: Yes. Download Spirit FM Free from here.
Then you need to do that:
1 - If you are in Europe: Settings->Band->World... (Anyone).
2 - Settings->Audio->Method->Galaxy S3/Note/S2_ICS (Only works with this one).
Q: How to enable the pie controls & navigation buttons?
A: First you need a file explorer, then add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to /system/build.prop & reboot the phone to activate the on screen buttons (Navigation Bar). Then go to Settings>System>Power menu>Expanded desktop & activate it & then you will see pie control in the Settings>System menu.
Q: How I can help the development of any ROM?
A: Not with, "+1", "FC", "me too", "same bug here", blablabla. These comments are USELESS.
Q: So, how I can really help?
A: Simple. Remember doing this you're helping the developer & yourself, you're intelligent, so you understand what I'm saying, right!?!
Do that in the right ROM thread:
Phone model:
Baseband version:
ROM version:
Did you?
wipe:
restore with titanium backup:
reboot after having the issue:
Are you using?
a task killer:
the kernel (boot.img) in the zip or other:
Settings/Performance settings (other than default):
What steps will reproduce the problem?
But the most important thing is this: attach a LOGCAT of the problem.
Q: Ok nice, but I’m noob & I don’t know how to LOGCAT, where I can learn?
A: Here, here or stop being lazy & search in XDA forums.
Battery Saving Tips: Here.
