Huawei P8 Custom ROM
* MagicArrow *
Version Two
Magisk Edition and Classic Edition
Teamwork by Tecalote and KangV
Based on the European firmware b398 - only installable, if you are already on Marshmallow Firmware (Android 6)
Developed on GRA-L09 C432 - but it should run on all GRA-xxx models and regions due to my modification
Thread for German Users: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p8.2257/huawei-p8-rom-6-0-emui-4-0-3-magicarrow-v2-by-tecalote.819399.html
Well, you've been waiting long enough I am pleased to present you the new version of Arrow under the extended name "MagicArrow"
1) Difference between Magisk and Classic Edition:
The Magisk Edition was made to have a safteynet capable device that still offers much more features than Stock Firmware ... It has the same features like Classic Edition, with one difference: Outward It looks as if you had not unlocked the bootloader .... Apps like Pokemon Go, various banking apps - which does not work anymore on rooted devices should work in this Rom
However, you can not install Xposed Framework in the Magisk Edition without losing the green safetynet! There is the systemless Xposed Framework by topjohnwu, the developer of Magisk and it works, can be easily downloaded and installed in the Magisk Manager via modules (SDK 23) - but - there is currently no way to pass safetynet with a modified custom Rom together with Xposed Framework! For this reason, the installation pool in K-Settings for Xposed is removed from its function.
Attention: Update the preinstalled Magisk with newer Version 15.3 flashable zip made for this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75178940&postcount=871
Then look in the Thread for new posts about future Updates.
The Classic Editon is rooted with SuperSU and has same features, but you cannot bypass safteynet check. However, who does not run apps depending on this "questionable" service will have the same joy with this Rom. The advantage of the Classic Edition is: You can install from K-Settings Wanams Xposed Framework 87.1 and use a lot of Xposed modules ...
2) Requirements and information for this Rom:
If you want to have the best of this Rom, then it would be necessary to start completely clean - means from Custom Rom back to Stock Firmware b398 - With the exception of devices for which there is no more recent firmware than b370. An EMUI Custom Rom is as good as the before installed Firmware in the background. In principle, only system, cust and kernel will be flashed with the Rom zip. The original Firmware update a lot more, like modem etc. Therefore, the Custom Rom works best if you start from latest firmware for your device on which the Rom is based.
If you have already latest official Huawei Stock Firmware installed, it is less work...
I really dont recommend to flash dirty this Rom directly from Arrow v1 or if you stay on older Firmware. System and Apps will be wiped with the installation script. So you cannot keep your previous apps and data, you have to install them new.
You need the latest TWRP:https://dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img Do not use older ones!
The bootloader must be unlocked. Pick up the Huawei unlock code, because it is always valid for the same device. If you do not have an unlock code from Huawei and have problems to get it from Huawei Website, recently you can call regional Huawei service hotline and get the code by mail during 24 hours.
3) Installation guide for the MagicArrow:
1) Backup your apps and data from your current Firmware or Rom - but only User-Apps and not System-Apps. You can use Huawei Backup as well as TitaniumBackup. (Dont restore any System-Apps from previous system in the new Rom - example: if you use Huawei Backup dont backup Phonemanager, but you can backup desktop layout, sms, calendar, User-Apps etc.) Dont backup and restore Chat-Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Facebook and so on - use their inbuilt Backup Function like Google Drive Backup (its different, some Apps are storing everything on their server like Telegram) You must install and register Chat-Apps new on your new Rom. If you dont do that, Push-Notifications cannot work.
2) Make a backup of important folders and files from your internal storage (DCIM, WhatsApp folder, Downloads....)
3) Download Firmware update.zip - depending on the device model - and unzipp it on your PC - you receive META-INF and UPDATE.APP
GRA-L09C432B398: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v88316/f1/full/update.zip
GRA-L09 with other Cust: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA-L09&firmware_page=0
Other GRA models: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA&firmware_page=0
4) Copy UPDATE.APP and META-INF into a folder on the root directory of your external SD which must have the name: dload
5) If you are on Stock Firmware, not rooted you can directly update your Firmware. But go to step 6
A) If you are on Stock Firmware, but rooted, with TWRP installed and Xposed Framework installed, uninstall first Xposed Framework, reboot to system, after unroot your device, restore original boot.img and flash the original Huawei Stock Recovery.
B) Arrow Editions: If you have Xposed Framework installed, uninstall Xposed Framework, reboot to system (15 min) - after go to step 6
If you are on Arrow v1 Classic Edition without Xposed Framework, flash Huawei Stock Recovery from K-Settings /more settings / flash recovery - flash official recovery. You can reboot directly from here to Stock Recovery.
If you are on Arrow v1 Magisk Edition without Xposed Framework, flash with TWRP Magisk Uninstaller: http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller and after flash Huawei Stock Recovery b391 (by choosing img): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190
- go to step 6
6) Press Vol+ and Power Button until phone reboot and hold this position until phone boot up to Stock-Recovery. Here you do first "Wipe Cache Partition" and second "Factoryreset" - go to step 7
7) If you start EMUI Update from here, just go to Restart and press Vol+ and Vol- (in the middle down and hold this position), wait until phone reboots and EMUI Software Installing begin (of course, update.app and meta-inf must be already in dload folder)
If you was back in system between you can start update with pressing down Vol+ and Vol- in the middle and at the same time pressing Power Button. Wait until phone reboot and you see Huawei Logo. Now you can release Power button, but you must keep holding all the time the pressing down postion with Vol+ and Vol- until EMUI Software Installing begin. After some time your firmware is updated and restart to system. Dont make an account yet, just make short setup.
8) Open settings /about phone and klick 7 times on build number for enabling developer options. Open developer options and in there enable USB Debugging. After go to settings / (advanced) settings and enable "unknown sources"
9) Connect your device with USB to your PC and let windows install the drivers or install HiSuite (which installs drivers if windows cannot recognice) You need the USB Connection. With Minimal ADB and Fastboot in administrative mode you can flash now the newest TWRP, which I have linked above.
10) Disconnect your device from USB Cable, soon TWRP is succesful flashed
11) With Vol+ and Power Button reboot your device to TWRP - this step is important if you want to keep TWRP
12) Allow system modification and go to ADVANCED WIPE - choose in the first step ONLY internal Storage (nothing else). Do not wipe internal Storage together with the other partitions in step 14! Soon internal storage is wiped, go back to main menu and restart the recovery. You should get the Root Permission request from TWRP "Allow system modification" once again, allow it and open settings to configure (24h clock, language, time zone, etc) If you dont get the Root Permission request from TWRP yet, you will get it after next boot to TWRP.
13) Now copy MagicArrow.zip to your external SD - Attention: If you want the boot sound to be played on the phone - before flashing the Rom, sound must be switched on!
14) Boot to TWRP and go to ADVANCED WIPE - Wipe following partitions:
Dalvik/Art Cache
Cache
Cust
data
system
15) Go back to main menu and flash MagicArrow. After flashing is done, reboot system without wipe of dalvik/cache. As you know, the first boot process can take up to 15 minutes (just like installing the Xposed Framwork)] After boot to system and first setup - you have to make some IMPORTANT STEPS (see next Point) before you restore /installing your apps and adjust your phone.
4) Important information for the Magisk -Edition:
During first setup you may receive a root-rights request, if so, confirm this. After first setup - please do not open the Magisk Manager . Before you do anything else,open settings / about phone and klick 7 times on build number to enable the developer options. Open developer options and in there enable USB debugging! Then go back to Settings - in the b398 there are the extended settings with the short name: Settings. In it, please enable " allow unknown sources "
At this point restart immediately your P8.
Now open the Magisk Manager, the app is looking for updates - to speed this up, drag from first white field (like refresh of a website in Chrome) with the finger pressed down - the manager is up to date. Makes a query of the Safteynet = green.
Then you go in the Magisk-Manager left to the Controll-Pannel to settings. Do not change anything, with one exception: enable systemless hosts! This step is very important. Then immediately the second reboot .
Next open AdAway and activate the hosts file (download files and activate the advertising block) - then the third reboot .
After open AdAway again and see if the hosts file is active, if it is, all well, if not, download the hosts files once again and restart P8. (Sometimes another reboot is necessary at the point) Only when AdAway is green (activated) - then the safetynet is passed by. You can now again check in the Magisk manager safetynet = green - if you do not these steps, you can break the safetynet. In addition, root and apps can be blocked!
As you know, Magisk uses his own superuser, integrated into Magisk Manager
For some reason if you have problems with safetynet with some apps, just download the following module in the Magisk Manager in the Control-Pannel under Download:
Universal Safetynet Fix
Otherwise, please do not download any modules, you do not know if they run and what they do.
Two modules are preinstalled - please leave this, otherwise this Rom does not function properly with K-Settings!
5) Important information for the Classic -Editon:
The Classic edition gets systemless Root during the installation by SuperSU 2.82 SR1 (SR1 has an integrated update for Huawei devices). After Rom is flashed and you restart phone, the first boot process will terminate, the device will restart once again - this is normal because of systemless rooting . Why systemless this time? Because of compatibility with SuperSU. The new versions of SuperSU are rooting always systemless. If there is the next Final version of SuperSU, you need only flash the zip in TWRP and there are no problems with the update.
To enable AdAway , just download the AdAway ad block (hosts file) and reboot the P8 - but after rebooting, please open AdAway again and see if it worked the first time - otherwise just download again and restart the device once more. The second time it fits. AdAway is controlled by the systemless root using an init.d script that mount the hosts file systemlessly and this script is usually only active after the second restart. If you ignore this step, you can block root privileges.
6) Features:
• VoLTE and IP-Calling enabled - disable it, if your mobile provider dont support it!
• Push notifications working - Enable WhatsApp, Telegram... as protected apps and enable Wlan and mobile data during "sleeping mode" as always on
• Most Gapps contained in system debloaded - please dont flash any GApps, just install it with Playstore (Core GApps and settings are present in the Rom)
• System is deodexed
• pre-rooted: Classic Edition by Chainfires SuperSU 2.82 SR1 - Magisk Edition by topjohnwuMagiskSU 13.3
• BusyBox 1.27.1 - Please dont change this BusyBox to any other (not Stericson, not JRummy...)
• Call Recorder - You can enable recording manually, if a call comes through with the memory icon in dialer - or constantly in dialer settings
• Some nice themes, BlackPyramid ...
• K-Settings - as usual with extended restart menu
• MiXplorer (very powerful Root-Explorer) and TitaniumBackup (can store backups without any problem through storage SD instead of document provider)
• Dolby / Atmos for Teamwork with Viper4Android - best experience with BlackPlayer (or similar) but not Huawei Music App
• Security patch level 1 July 2017 - all known Stagefright Security holes are closed
• Multiwindow mode - you can start this mode with long tap on square in navigation bar. Close the Mod in the middle with the turquoise symbol.
• Viper4Android (enable it via K-Settings) can be linked to its settings permanently in notification bar for quick access. - as usual.
• Xposed Framework of Wanam included in K-Settings, Installation start from there, reboots automatically. The Restart needs about 15 minutes.
• VIA Browser instead of Chrome
• AdAway - newest release
• And much more...
7) Phone Manager and the app PMPlus:
Phone Manager does not include the Autostart Manager in European Firmware. The advantage is: you do not have to worry about anything, everything is controlled automatically - and also works. But the battery consumption is slightly more, since all apps wait in the background to be called.
With the app PMPlus, you can activate the Autostart Manager in the Phone Manager. To do this, start the app, go to Installation and as soon as the succesful message comes, close the app (can be uninstalled thereafter). Now, on screen two of the Phone Manager, the entry "App auto-launch" appears!
But NOTICE - through this upgrade will initially set ALL Autostarts to 0 ! You must manually enable the most important apps in App auto-launch - all apps that should receive push notifications - and, most importantly, SuperSU in the Classic Edition and Magisk Manager in the Magisk edition. Otherwise Root permissions do not work!
Advantage: You have control over which apps should not start at system start or in the background (if you need it rarely)
But you must always remember to activate a newly installed app there if necessary. Example: Amazon, E-Bay, PayPal - some of these apps are coupled and not only need the autostart to work , but also the so-called " app activation " (which appears in Autostart Manager when such apps are installed)
Disadvantage: If the apps are not configured correctly in the mask, you have more trouble than good. So, if you're not control freaks, then let's keep your fingers out of it.
But if you want to activate this function, it is recommended to do it at the end, if you have already installed all the apps you are using and not before!
8) Disable Chinese Letters:
The Rom is European, but the K-Settings are from KangV. Thats why the Lunar component is installed in K-Settings (these are the only Chinese letters in this Rom).
To hide these, go to K-Settings:
1) Lockscreen and desktop settings and disable: "Lunar Calendar" and at "Desktop weather lunar"
2) Notification settings - disable: "Show statusbar lunar"
9) Save Battery:
NFC (with Android Pay) ist enabled by default - disable it and enable it only for the time you need it
VoLTE is enabled by default - disable it, if your mobile provider dont support it
Location Settings (menu: scan settings) disable WLan and Bluetooth Search while Wlan and Bluetooth is disabled, Navi Apps are working also without this setting.
Performance is enabled by default - change this in Akku-Manager (part of Phone Manager) to SMART
With "auto app-launch" (if you have installed) you can disable Apps which you use just sometimes.
Bluetooth enable it - if you use it and disable it - if you dont need it at the moment

Right settings for Push Notifications and install manual for Stock Firmware Update
Right Settings to make Push-Notification work for Chat-Apps like WhatsApp:
Settings with Phone Manager:
1) Once you have installed with PMPlus the Autostart-Manager called: App auto-launch as a part of Phone Manager- WhatsApp, Viber and all those apps must be activated!
2) Activate these applications also in Protected apps
3) In Notification center activate for these applications - Priority display, Status bar, Banners and Lock screen
4) If these apps are available in Dropzone management - activate them
5) In Phone Manager /open Akku-Manager (Remainning) and in this mask open the settings-symbol above - deactivate Power-intensive prompt and deactivate "Close excessively power-intensive apps" and some lines below:
Activate: Keep Wi-Fi on when sleeping ALWAYS - Keep mobile data on when sleeping
Settings with Permissions and Notifications:
1) Open settings /Apps and search for WhatsApp. In this mask you find Permissions- and Notifications-Settings , go inside of both and set the needed permissions for the app and also "Alllow Notifications" and Priority display
Settings in Developer options:
1) one point after "use legacy DHCP client" - set: Mobile data always active
Additional Settings:
1) Settings /More - Open Mobile network and set: Mobile data - and Enable always-on mobile data
2) Open Settings /Wi-Fi and go to menu in the right corner below "Advanced setting" - set: Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep ALWAYS
3) Open Settings /Notification panel & statusbar - activate: Notification panel "Allow notification panel to be opened from the lockscreen if not password protected
4) Open Settings /Screen lock & passwords - activate "Show detailed notification info" and activate optional "Notification turn on screen"
For most users of ARROW Push-Notification for Chat-Apps are working now as they should (whitout converting them to system-apps like in Gratitude before) -
And for most users battery life is much more better than in Gratitude or in Stock Firmware.
But for some users not!
- Notifications coming not constant or not at all - andBattery life is worse than before - How can that be?
Answer: The complete different initial situation and sometimes also the settings.
Initial Situations (examples):
User A updated Lollipop with Stock Firmware to Marshmallow a long time ago (example: from b200 to b317) - after he was going to Custom Rom "Gratitude" - and from this time he was never back to any Stock Firmware and flashed new versions of Custom Rom always dirty.....
User B was also last on b317, after on "Gratitude" and flashed every new version clean, with Fullwipe.....
User C was last on b321a, after on "Gratitude" and flashed every new version clean, with Fullwipe but Arrow dirty....
User D was on Gratitude 5 and then he go back to Stock Firmware b370 - from there with OTA to b382 and after he flashed TWRP and did a Fullwipe before installing ARROW - this user has the best starting position! And for this user ARROW should work as provided
Why?
Custom Rom can only modifiy on Huawei Devices following partitions: system - cust - vendor (and nothing else!) Modem Updates, Updates for Push-Notifications and other sync services or battery software updates are coming with official Firmware!
The best performance for ARROW is given, if your Marshmallow Firmware and Bootloader and Modem.... is also up-to-date.
There is no need to do following steps, if you have flashed ARROW and everything is fine for you.
I would recommend to go back to Stock Firmware as an step between - before flashing ARROW - for Users which come from Gratitude and for Users which have already ARROW installed and issues with Push-Notifications or too much battery drain!
(STOCK-RECOVERY AND UNROOT IS REQUIRED - AND YOU NEED ALWAYS FULL FIRMWARE FROM CUSTOM TO STOCK) - see install manual below!
The Full-Firmware you download (no OTA Files please) should be minimal b370 (which is available for all models). After this EMUI-Installing with reboot to system you can use in settings the Update-App to receive the next OTA Update and install this also. If the Update-App says after installing "no more Updates available" it is okay!
Normally you can use one Full-Firmware above b370, for GRA-L09 it is b382 - alternatively you can use b391 - but a higher version like b391 seems not work (cause Rom is based on b391)
Complete List of Huawei P8 Firmwares (for all models and cust v.): http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=gra

Install manual:
To go back to Stock Firmware you have to do following steps:
1) Backup what you need to backup! Use Huawei Backup and also Titanium Backup. NOTE: But dont restore in the new ARROW then system-apps or data from system-apps from previous system! Restore only USER-APPS. For Chat-Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Skype use the built-in Backup function - but keep or backup the folder from those apps on internal memory (because you need them on the same place if you reinstall those apps)
Battery must have minimal 80% doing those steps....
2-A) Users of Classic-Edition: Open K-Settings /more settings /flash recovery - Flash official Recovery (grant Root-Permission) - this flashes Stock Recovery in half a second.
2-B) Users of Magisk-Editon: Please go to TWRP and flash Magisk-Uninstaller.zip to unroot your Phone. Users of Gratitude Magisk Edition should also flash unsu.zip (both linked in OP) After reboot make a connection with USB to your PC. With Minimal ADB and Fastboot program (on PC) flash Stock-Recovery. If you dont know how to do, ask me in this Thread. Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190
If you have Xposed Framework installed - uninstall it (Magisk Users in Magisk Manager/Modules - Classic Users in K-Settings /Xposed Settings /Install Xposed confirm - Reboot needs about 15min)
3) Download the Full Firmware for your model, unzipp it on your PC (mostly you get update.app and meta.inf)
4) Create a folder on internal memory or external SD and name it: dload
5) Copy only update.app and meta.inf (if meta.inf is present) in this folder. After DISCONNECT USB from Phone!
6) Reboot to Stock Recovery - with Restart menu (also possible with pressing Vol+ and Power-Button at the same time as long until Recovery is displayed)
7) Wipe Cache with Stock Recovery (it uses another engine than TWRP) and do after a Factory Reset. There is no need to restart the phone to system now. Go to:
8) Press Vol- and Vol+ (in the middle) and Power-Button at the same time, until phone reboots and EMUI-Software-Installing is displayed
9) Let the EMUI-Installing finishing - it reboots automatically to system and starts the EMUI-Optimizing - wait until Language-Selection is displayed. Make a short set up (You can skip the most) - but it is important to arrive the homescreen.
10) Go to Settings / About the phone and tap 7x (times) on Build-Number. It activates developer options.
11) Go to Developer options and activate USB DEBUGGING - after open Advanced settings /security and activate "Unknown Sources"
12) Connect Phone with USB to your PC (Accept the Fingerprint query with "always" on your Phone) Look, if Windows installed the right drivers so you have access to phone - if not install HiSuite http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html and make a connection with HiSuite. Allow installing HiSuite on Phone. If you have access now, close HiSuite (also in Background).
13) Copy ARROW-Rom to your Phone.
14) With Minimal ADB and Fastboot flash TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862681510 - if you are unsure with the right commands, ask me in the Thread.
15) DISCONNECT USB Cable now from your Phone
16) Press Vol+ and Power-Button at the same Time until phone reboot (at the moment, Huawei Logo comes you can leave Power Button, but keep holding Vol+) Reboot to TWRP takes a while
17) Set up TWRP (allow modification, set language, screen timeout, time zone...)
18) There is no need to wipe internal SD (but if you like to do this, do it at first and restart after TWRP - then you must setup TWRP again)
18) Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and wipe: Dalvik&Cache, Cache, data and system
19) Install ARROW Rom
20) Restore User-Apps, but dont restore any System-Apps (or data from it) Chat-Apps install from Playstore, and use the built-in restore function.
ARROW should work now as ist should!

Hi This is interesting - I am at home in two hours and loading up the apk for you.
I flashed both versions of the Rom about 20 times for testing several things and had always the App preinstalled...
I think it is cause of TWRP.
After making a Nandroid Backup before flashing the Rom it has problems to unmount and remount partitions.
If data was not mounted correctly, the App would not be preinstalled - cause it should go to /data/app
That's why I recommend, after making a Backup to Restart TWRP (reboot Recovery) before flashing the Rom...

Hi
Written in OP
"In ARROW are not included Chinese letters, with the exception of "Lunar" - which comes with K-Settings. Gratitude users know how to get rid of them. For all others:
1) Go to K-Settings, in there to:

Great work, flashed it on my UL00 3 hours ago after wiping cache and dalvik cache only, everything seems to work alright, I can confirm that this ROM works flawlessly on UL00.

Hi Thank you for your feedback!
You have installed the ROM on the Middle Eastern variant UL00C185...
I am glad to hear that it not only works on GRA-L09
This is what I promised, but I wasn't 100% sure - cause I have only L09...
I am interested which build number is displayed in "About the phone"?
Thanks!
Everything is looking good so far. Thank you for your time and effort!
How do I activate automatic call recording? Is there a possibility of adding more regions to this rom? I have region specific software that fails. My digital satellite provider's software checks my region before it can work. I'm in South Africa.

Hi there Automatic Call Recording can be enabled that way:
Open the Dialer App - below left is a star, below right is the symbol for the settings menu. Open it and there you can enable automatic call recording.
For the other issue: Can you give me a link to an African Marshmallow Huawei Stock Firmware? So I can look at it and perhaps include the Region.
Which Region did you set up right now?
Thanks very much man!
Flashed it last night, after it took me half an eternity to backup all my files (had something messed up so I had to look a bit deeper). Flashing and all was fine, including xposed via magisk.
Been using it the day now, but at 2 Things im not sure if it is caused by the Rom or by the latest whatapp update:
-in widgets i can select WhatsApp - but there is no more this huge 4*2 widget with message-preview, does anybody else have this? (only WhatsApp Chat and WhatsApp camera available there)
-even though i have given WhatsApp all permissions, my Screen won't wake up when i receive a message. It was quite usefull while the phone lay at my table i could see in one glance whether or not it was important and decide to pick it up
....okay i have tried a bit and found out my Screen also won't wake up after receiving sms or email.. where could i look after that? every app has "Show on lockscreen" enabled
There was another thing, which i could't read fast enough, but it was something with kvip Settings and some overlay permissions and a path where to find them or so?
it popped up a couple of times at the beginning (those little messages in the lower middle of the Screen, just like "wifi connected") next time i will try to make a screenshot of that.
edit:
@Tecalote congrats for 500 Posts and 300 likes! :good:
@Tecalote your ROM IS ****ing awesome, congratulations!!!
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI GRA-L09 mediante Tapatalk
@ChavezD For the Wakeup Screen you must open Phonemanager and in there the Notification Manager. Every App like WhatsApp and Gmail, Email... is in the list - open WhatsApp or Email in the list and set up "Showing on Homescreen" and everything.
The other things I must look. Small popup messages should be shown, like "RAM 1.7 GB available, Wifi connected".. I must look later, at the moment I am not at home
Edit:
For enabling the Wakeup on Homescreen - you must go to Settings /Screenlock and Password - and there set up : Notification turn on screen!

@Tecalote yeah those Settings are all activated, really don't know what went wrong for me again or what i broke..
EDIT: OH god damn it, thank you so much! I hope i didn't actually disable it half sleeping this morning/"night"
Take your time, it wasn't annoying or anything, just wondered what it was. But it's exactly as you described, but not just 4 words but 4 rows or so in the same time period.
Maybe im also gonna reflash and not install every stupid app i've installed once. Is there any Chance to stop Google from automatically downloading all (>100) recently installed apps after reflashing a Rom? [I always Flash clean, so.. no dirty Flash for me^^]
Edit2: I think in those Messages i was talking about it wasn't Overlay - it was Dropzone. But still no clue what i should do there, everthing is allowed that wants to be

Hi again You can stop Google from downloading the previous installed Apps at the first start. After Google Login you will be asked if you want to restore - just deny.
Don't know yet what you exactly mean with 4 rows in the same time.
Do you mean perhaps Toast Messages? There's for example an Xposed Modul called "Perfect Color Bar" - in this you can enable "Toast" with mixed compatibility. After you get instead of the the small black info messages colored ones with the symbol of the App message. There are also other "bars" on the Repo for customization that messages.
Do you remember which official firmware did you have before using Custom Roms like Gratitude? b317, b321a, or b370? I know, there were some modem updates coming with the official firmwares (which cannot be done with Roms on Huawei Phones)
Maybe you should update to officially Firmware as an step between before reflashing the Rom. For this you would need the Stock Recovery, which can flashed from K-Settings, more Settings. On xda you can find the b391 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/how-to/firmware-huawei-p8-b391-gra-l09c432-gra-t3534020
It would refresh the Rest of your Phone (which cannot be reached by ROM) - and after the ROM can work as it should...
Just an idea
[M.O.D. KERNEL Q]
*** NOTE: a dev has posted on TG the FOD fix for beta/ MIUI 12 forked from my code, download there! I asked for GitHub source to comply with XDA and will post once I have it and provide a link to the file link "Mi9/Mi9T Pro Optimization and Overclocking" Telegram has it now: https://t.me/joinchat/NNTe_E9G4ZcZKXCUrajFYQ ***
MIUI 11 Mi9/ 9T Pro MOD 1.5
MOD-Q 1.5 is for stable MIUI 11 variants for Mi9 only - Xiaomi.eu 11.0.5 stable is what it was built for, runs best on, just use it. The Mi9T Pro version supports MIUI 11 variants plus many AOSP builds. If you use an official MIUI 11 Xiaomi version you will get a warning message "Contact device manufacturer." You can ignore that, it means nothing. But I highly suggest using Xiaomi.eu 11.0.5, or another MIUI 11 variant like MiRoom or some use Revolution OS.
***DO NOT USE ANY PERFORMANCE (CPU/GPU/ETC) MAGISK MODULES WITH THIS FOR BEST PERFORMANCE!!! IT INSTALLS IT'S OWN OPTIMIZED MAGISK MODULE AUTOMATICALLY***
FP scanner will only work up to 11.0.5. Xiaomi keeps changing the code and not releasing it to made Dev builds not work. There were "patches" that worked until a few weeks back, but Xiaomi has yet again changed their FP scanner code. So I will not update the FP code, do not ask, it is a complete waste of time. Sorry, but Xiaomi.eu 11.0.5 and MOD 1.5 work very very well together.
Features:
835mhz GPU, Adreno Boost, Dynamic Fsync, Boeffla WL blocker (better battery idle), F2FS optimizations, LZ4 ZRAM. EXFAT USB/SDCard support added. Sultan Boost + PapaSmurf's Op7Pro tweaks, Dynamic Overclocking + Underclocking with frequency boost for smooth, fast, clean performance and fluid scaling. Many thanks to PapaSmurf who greatly influenced this kernel; portions are ported from his Op7 Pro Repo.
Mi9T Pro version also reported to work on AOSP ROMs using the original FOD implementation (Derpfest, MSM, CRDroid, Havoc, LOS).
Just use the Magisk Module it installs for you automatically when you flash the zip from TWRP, likely the best results will be obtained. SmartPack can be installed to choose between profiles under Performance Tweaks - battery / balanced / performance / gaming, although the default installed Magisk module is highly recommended by itself for optimal performance and good battery drain.
Github source has been added for MOD 1.5 here. Please read the Readme that's why it's there.
https://github.com/mrslezak/MODQ1.5
Releases are available here: Download them for your device and follow the instructions there. If you already have TWRP and Magisk, it will be easy. Just read please it will answer your questions.

[M.O.D. KERNEL PIE] Mi9 Android9 GPU830mhz F2FS data/cache Dynamic Fsync LZ4 WLblocker V2 [STABLE]
MOD Pie notes:
***New features added! Dynamic Fsync replaces the Fsync toggle (credits to author Paul Reioux aka Faux123 <[email protected]>), and Boeffla Wakelock blocker 1.1.0 (credits to author: andip71 <[email protected]>) has been added. The GPU830mhz runs on a higher regulator now so even 3DMark runs without issue, this is as stable as it gets. A battery saving Magisk Module has been added for longer life and scored 422.5K still on AnTuTu! It will throttle and hotplug (idle) cores as needed to save battery ***
Super tweaked kernel for the Mi 9. Best AnTuTu Benchmark 432K thus far, expect 420K-430K in daily operation with good battery life. This will vary based on the ROM selected. Stock AnTuTu is 370K. So you can run your phone faster than any production 855+ at the moment. This kernel is setup on purpose to allow anything from stock to maximum performance, you can set parameters as you like in a kernel manager.

Releases are available here:
https://github.com/mrslezak/MODKernel-V2-Cepheus/releases/tag/V2
TG Name: MattoftheDead
M.O.D. Kernel (MattoftheDead). This kernel is STABLE, everything works, it runs on any MIUI based ROM (MIUI Global Dev, MIUI China Dev, MiGlobe, Xiaomi.eu, AOSP, etc.). ***If you install this kernel and don't follow the tweak instructions, it runs exactly like stock. There is now a Magisk module that will run with the optimal settings to make this easy! *** So read up. You can apply any tweaks you'd like. These include:
GPU 830mhz overclock - stable and smooth. The GPU will throttle down when not being used to a lower mhz. The Magisk Module will enable the max 830mhz clock for you. Or you can go without if you have a dialcode supported GPU MaxFreq OC mode *#*#8106#*#*
ZRAM LZ4 data encryption enabled - fastest encryption method, smaller ZRAM sizes (512mb is good) work very well [2GB is the stock ZRAM default, LZO is the default kernel compression which is slow]. ZRAM is in-memory swap so it is ultra fast. This allows you to have more free RAM for apps to run.
F2FS data and cache partition support - full ICE AES 256bit encryption. Note only @mauronofrio TWRP 3.3.1-39 + supports F2FS partition mounting so you MUST use this TWRP recovery!!!
F2FS has been tested on MIUI Global Dev 9.6.27 and Xiaomi.eu 9.7.22, 9.8.1, MiGlobe, RevOS, AOSP, Havoc thus far (more added daily) and read/write speeds and app access are definitely fast. Support was enabled by working directly with @mauronofrio on XDA (thanks Mauro) so we originated F2FS support for Mi9 - there are also F2FS kernel tweaks that help the speed in the kernel.
BOEFFLA Wakelock Blocker 1.1.0 - blocks wakelocks and allows you to change what gets blocked that is waking up your phone and preventing deep sleep. There are defaults blocked already in this build that are known to be blockable safely. If you want to add more, use SmartPack Kernel manager under Wakelocks. It will also show you what apps are causing them and the frequency so you can disable the ones that are not needed.
If you want to join in the discussion and see updates in realtime, World MI9 & Mi9T Pro Optimization and Overclocking is a TG group which has many things related to MOD and any other kernels, mods for the phone, Magisk Modules, all types of things for the devices.
Step 1: [KERNEL REQUIRED FILES]
Go to the releases page posted earlier and download everything.
Step 2: [ROM SELECTION]
If you already have a Pie MIUI based DEV ROM installed, you can continue to use it. Global Dev 9.6.27 is recommended. But this supports up to Xiaomi.eu 9.8.1. If you want to use a new MIUI based ROM, download it and setup the device (between these ranges of releases - some like MiRoom, some like stock, some like Xiaomi.eu). If you are clean flashing everything, don't bother restoring all the apps - they will be deleted when you switch to F2FS. Just set it up so you can login and get to the default menu with the default apps displayed. Either way, you will have to setup the device as a new phone. So back up all your user data (photos, downloads, etc), apps, etc. using Google Drive, Xiaomi Cloud, Titanium Backup Pro, or any other app that backs up apps and settings. It's often easiest to put them on your PC since you will be plugged into it during this install process with your USB cable.
Step 3: [MAURO TWRP INSTALLATION FOR F2FS SUPPORT]:
Boot Mi9 holding Power + Volume Down
Hook up to your phone to the PC with the charging cable
Open a command prompt. Go to your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Type: fastboot devices
And hopefully you see your device ID pop up. If not you don't have the right driver, the cable is bad, or something else is wrong. Search Google.
Next flash Mauro TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-41-cepheus-mauronofrio.img (or use his latest from the link at the bottom of this thread)
Hopefully you see it flash to the device in a few seconds successfully and it's ready to go.
Booting to TWRP:
Turn off your phone. Now hold down power + volume up. Once the boot Logo appears, let go of the power button but keep holding volume up. TWRP should boot. If not, try again. I usually have to remove the phone case. Now enter your password and proceed to the next section. If it asks you if you want to keep the system read only SAY NO! You will be modifying system components, keep it writable to avoid installation issues.
Step 4: [FLASHING THE M.O.D. KERNEL]
Check the releases page posted above. Just unzip the file there and flash via TWRP as an image to boot. It's patched with Magisk already.
Step 5: [CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS}:
Converting EXT4 data and cache partitions to F2FS:
Check the releases page posted above for fstab_patch_F2FS_MI9_Cache_NoBarrier.zip required to enable F2FS. You MUST flash this in TWRP or your OS will NOT be able to boot an F2FS data partition!!!! This file has been kanged all over the internet, it was created here. Feel free to use it, everyone already is.
***Note flashing TWRP / Install / fstab_patch_F2FS_MI9_Cache_NoBarrier.zip MUST be repeated any time you change ROMs or you won't have access to your data!!! So back this up!!!!***
Boot back into TWRP. You will need to go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe, Click Data, Repair or Change File System, Change File System, and click F2FS. Swipe to change. It will format and you'll have nothing on your data partition. Next format cache. Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe, Click Cache, Repair or Change File System, Change File System, now click F2FS. Swipe to change. Again it will format and be wiped.
Step 6: [SETTING UP YOUR "NEW" PHONE]:
Next, reboot to System. The device should boot up and welcome you to your "new" device. It has no data apps so it has to be new. You will have to login to your Xiaomi account if it is associated with the device. Then you can choose to restore from a Google Backup and next from Xiaomi Cloud. You can do either one to get your apps back. I would suggest Xiaomi Cloud after Google completes all its downloads - it will place icons in the right places and install your root apps if you had them. And after setting up your apps, now boot back to TWRP and make a Backup. Now for this Nandroid backup you should backup data, boot, dtbo, and vendor partitions (vendor has the fstab.qcom file that allows your F2FS supported partition to boot now). Even if you save to your internal device initially, be sure to put it on a PC for safe keeping. Then If you accidentally wipe your partition later, you can skip importing, get to the main screen after minimal setup completes, enable file transfer from the connected PC, and then copy the Nandroid backup to your Internal Memory. Boot into TWRP and restore the backup and you're back in business.
Step 7: [INSTALLING MAGISK MANAGER AND KERNEL MANAGER]:
So now you install the MagiskManager-v7.3.2.apk to enable all root functions. If you want Google Pay and anything else setup posts are here in the Mi9 forum that show you how. Generally hide all banking apps, trading apps, Google Pay, GMS, etc. And I suggest installing GMS doze for better battery life and the Mi9 Auto Brightness fix.
In addition, to have the MOD kernel setup for the best performance, go into Magisk Manager, Modules, and flash the (Magisk)MOD-Battery-Saver+_v2.zip from the releases page. It will auto set all the parameters the kernel features, and does a great job with extending battery life at the same time.
This is the best setup for performance. Pictures are included below.
If you would like to change the settings, you need a kernel manager. So next you can install the Smart Pack APK SmartPack_Kernel_Manager_v8.7.apk to enable or disable all the tweaks you desire.
Pictures are attached below to show the TWRP screens for flashing and F2FS partition conversion. Also the settings of best performance using Smart Pack kernel manager are here. If you want to change any of the best settings after flashing the Magisk Module, do it in the kernel manager of your choice and set on boot - where to change those options is in the pictures below for SmartPack.
Enjoy!

And one last thing. I have been working with some of the most well known devs out there on XDA on Telegram, Private Messaging, and other channels to get this kernel where it is - but I have no XDA presence. I've helped hundreds of people on Telegram setup their systems or diagnose their issues. If you find this post useful, helpful, innovative, or install my kernel and like it, please click the Thanks button to acknowledge the work that I've done to get the Mi9 to this point. It would be greatly appreciated to get some thank yous for all the hours I've put into this development work for the Mi9, and provides some motivation to keep improving. Other kernels are on the way as well for more Xiaomi / Redmi devices if I feel some love from the community. Much appreciated!
Thanks goes out to @smeroni68 and @mauronofrio for helping fix the fstab.qcom zip that cost several hours of pain yesterday for users and I on Telegram that did not have the Vendor partition mounted when flashing the old fstab.zip file - it will flash now mounted or not from TWRP. And thanks to @ilia1985 for providing a Magisk Module template for the kernel manager settings, now OC setup doesn't even need a kernel manager!

Looks like it's base on last one version of android9 MIUI DEV 9.8.1 to modify its kernel, doesn't it ?
So it's not base on linux kernel 4.14.139 to develop ?

4.14.83 per the hardware device settings. Q is already upstreamed to the latest Linux and CAF so just waiting on a source release so kernels can be made. No need to spend time upstreaming unless another dev wants to (I'm in contact with the other kernel dev here on XDA we're working together now, he may upstream). He upstreamed his to 4.14.139 and will pull my source repo soon to fix bugs in his build so he may just upstream this kernel or fix bugs in his kernel in the process. Collaboration is a good thing. I've been waiting for assistance for a long time and it's good to team up with others devs. We don't get paid we do this as a hobby.
Thanks !
Can I use Ex kernel manager to tune kernel parameters ?
In another one - Will there CPU/GPU frequency table exist to choose which one of frequency combination I want to use base on condition of phone usage - Gaming, multimedia application, and general usage !

Yes EX Kernel Manager is a good one to use. You will have to experiment with if it can lock in frequencies. Follow the guide for CPU settings they are optimal. You could by app adjust if needed and if it is supported by EX. Some support per app some don't. I think SmartPack does. The issue is that the 830gpu clock is an additional clock. The others are all stock clocks. This is for maximum battery life and compatibility. The highest 830GPU is only fully settable via dial code *#*#8106#*#* at this time - try in your ROM to see if it is supported. In some KM you can set max and min to 830mhz and it will lock in the frequency (FK) although this was only tested for 1 day on an unstable build (too hot thermals). More tests are needed, feel free to try and post what you observe.

Many AOSP builds are still on Xiaomi underlying code. The test would be to install the TWRP mentioned and take a backup of boot and dtbo partitions. Stay on EXT4. Then flash the restore TWRP provided and see if it boots. I user has already made it to the logo screen on AOSP using this method. He is using an unencrypted partition though. If you are on an encrypted partition the likelihood of it working is higher. The TWRP is bootable from fastboot as well so you will be able to access recovery. Advise you save the backup to removeable media / computer before flashing. Report back your results please.
Hey There.
I am trying to mount the fsqtab.qcom an do not get how to do it on my Mi9 using these directions?
The fstab.qcom included MUST be placed in /vendor/etc/ OR YOUR PHONE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOUNT THE DATA PARTITION!!!! So your next step is to copy the fstab.qcom via a root browser or from Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Boot to Recovery (hold power + volume up, release power button when the boot logo appears), then run from a terminal: adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
How do you do whats listed above 'precisely'?
I can make everything else work. I just cannot seem to get this file inserted in Vendor?
Can you help please
(my profile says senior member but I am really not )
Great work!! Thanks for the kernel.
Any chance Kcal will be possible?

M.O.D. Kernel (MattoftheDead). This is a kernel project that has been going on for months now behind the scenes. It is STABLE, everything works, it runs on any MIUI based ROM (MIUI Global Dev, MIUI China Dev, MiGlobe, Xiaomi.eu, etc.). Android 9 (Pie) only as Android 10 has not been released and Xiaomi decided to change the kernel components (boot.img and dtbo.img will flash to Q, but no WIFI, no calls, and colors are "off."). If you install it and don't follow the tweak instructions, it runs exactly like stock. You can apply any tweaks you'd like. These include:
GPU 830mhz overclock - stable and smooth - most MIUI Dev based ROMs can enable via dialing *#*#8106#*#* - enable MaxFreq GPU Mode - you can test before installing. The GPU will throttle down when not being used to a lower mhz.
FSync toggle (enable/disable) - disable gives higher speed at the risk of data corruption if a system crash occurs. Note I've used this 4 months with no issues, if you use stable software you are less likely to run into problems. Eventually dynamic Fsync will be added if I ever have time or help (writes to disk when screen is off, safer than just disabling).
ZRAM LZ4 data encryption enabled - fastest encryption method, smaller ZRAM sizes (512mb is good) work very well [2GB is the ZRAM default, LZO is the default kernel compression which is slow]
F2FS data and cache partition support - support with full ICE AES 256bit encryption. Note only @mauronofrio TWRP 3.3.1-39 + supports F2FS partition mounting so you MUST use this recovery!!!
F2FS has been tested on MIUI Global Dev 9.6.27 and Xiaomi.eu 9.7.22 thus far and read/write speeds and app access are definitely fast. Support was enabled by working directly with @mauronofrio on XDA (thanks Mauro) so we originated F2FS support for Mi9 - there are also F2FS kernel tweaks that help the speed.
Now if you want to install this kernel, you can right away and use it on EXT4 (default for all Xiaomi ROMs). To use with F2FS you will need to adb push a modified fstab.qcom file to /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom. Or you can use a root browser and just copy it over if you are currently rooted. It will boot either EXT4 or F2FS with encryption with the same fstab.qcom file. And then you will enter the danger zone once it is time to enable F2FS! You will have to backup all your apps. This means MiCloud (for root apps this is good, saves APKs and settings), Google backup (the backup frequency seems random to me, although if a backup is recent you'll get all your PlayStore apps back), Titanium Backup Pro ($ PAID, you can't use the free version as the internal data will be wiped when the partition is formatted), or search for another backup solution online. Nandroid backups won't work after conversion either as they include the partition format (EXT4, F2FS, etc.) so don't bother. More on this later in the thread.
To save everyone time and space (I don't have a good way to upload files), join my Telegram channel. Read the instructions and you will be up and running in no time. They are outlined in great detail there along with tons of other discussions around optimizations and benchmarks. However, I will attempt to summarize installation on XDA as best as I can. Telegram Link: https://t.me/joinchat/NNTe_E9G4ZcZKXCUrajFYQ -> XDA MI9 Optimization and Overclocking
I have also provided a Mega.nz zip file with a bunch of tools you can use to get up and running. It comes with the modified kernel (boot.img GPU830_F2FS_Fsync_CRC_LZ4_boot.img and dtbo.img GPU830_F2FS_Fsync_CRC_LZ4_dtbo.img), the modified fstab.qcom file for encrypted F2FS support, the Mauronofrio TWRP version required twrp-3.3.1-39-cepheus-mauronofrio.img, Magisk-v19.4.zip Canary, MagiskManager-v7.3.2.apk, SmartPack Kernel Manager com.smartpack.kernelmanager-v8.7-20190815-release.apk to set tweaks along with a file SmartPack_init.d.txt that can be copied and pasted directly into SmartPack (in the menu, Init.d, enable Init.d, add new, copy and paste the text in, save it, and everything will be setup optimally) - NOTE init.d does not work on all ROMs (even with it enabled on boot in the software), so you may need to click on the profile under Init.d manually to execute after boot. A Franco Kernel Manager CPU Profile is included Maxfreq-CPUs-FK_Kernel_Manager_Profile if you use FK since it won't let you set CPU frequencies in the software (included just for people who have FK or prefer it over SmartPack - it won't setup ZRAM to LZ4 or 512mb for you, or toggle FSync, so you will have to manually do it if you use FK). Also the latest Windows Minimal ADB and Fastboot minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe is included, although you probably already have it since you have a bootloader unlocked phone
Now some very basic steps to the more complicated, much you should already know since you clicked on a custom kernel post!!!!
Flashing Mauro TWRP:
Boot Mi9 holding Power + Volume Down
Hook up to your phone to the PC with the charging cable
Open a command prompt. Go to your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
Type: fastboot devices
And hopefully you see your device ID pop up. If not you don't have the right driver, the cable is bad, or something else is wrong. Search Goggle.
Next flash Mauro TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-39-cepheus-mauronofrio.img
Hopefully you see it flash to the device in a few seconds sucessfully and it's ready to go.
Booting to TWRP:
Turn off your phone. Now hold down power + volume up. Once the boot Logo appears, let go of the power button but keep holding volume up. TWRP should boot. If not, try again. I usually have to remove the phone case.
Flashing boot.img, dtbo.img, and Magisk19.4.zip:
You can do this manually or from a TWRP backup. In the MOD-KERNEL-TOOLS zip file, you can unzip [TWRP-Restore-Backup] MODKernel-Magisk19.4 to internal storage or OTA SD card / USB drive, click Restore, and restore boot and dtbo. Then it is already patched with Magisk 19.4 (you have root access). Then reboot. Now for the more manual method. You can select Install. Then select Flash Image. Select GPU830_F2FS_Fsync_CRC_LZ4_boot.img and flash to the boot partition. After flashing, go back in TWRP and flash GPU830_F2FS_Fsync_CRC_LZ4_dtbo.img to the dtbo partition. Now go back in TWRP again and click on Flash Zip. Select Magisk19.4.zip and flash. After this completes, reboot.
Setting up F2FS data and cache partitions:
The process to setup F2FS is to first download a compatible ROM if you don't already have one installed (MIUI based, Android 9 (Pie), this includes MIUI Dev, Xiaomi.eu, MiGlobe, Revolution OS, etc.) ENSURE ANDROID 9 PIE: 9.8.1 variants are usually the last Android Pie build. After downloading, you can install it as a new phone after following the guide below so don't bother setting anything up other than a Xiaomi account login if prompted; don't restore apps yet either. You can setup with defaults now and not import apps. You should make it to the home screen though. All apps will be deleted after formatting.
You will be setting up a new phone and will have to login to all your apps over again. So to reiterate, MAKE COPIES OF ALL YOUR PROGRAMS BEFORE DOING THIS! Xiaomi Cloud, Google Backup, Titanium Backup, etc. - use something not on your phone, NOT a Nandroid backup! NOT in internal storage! (it will be wiped)!
The fstab.qcom included MUST be placed in /vendor/etc/ OR YOUR PHONE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOUNT THE DATA PARTITION!!!! So your next step is to copy the fstab.qcom via a root browser or from Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Boot to Recovery (hold power + volume up, release power button when the boot logo appears), then run from a terminal: adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
Now in TWRP, you will need to go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe, Click Data, Repair or Change File System, Change File System, now click F2FS. Swipe to change. It will format and you'll have nothing on your data partition. Next format cache. Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe, Click Cache, Repair or Change File System, Change File System, now click F2FS. Swipe to change. Again it will format and be wiped.
Next, reboot to System. The device should boot up and welcome you to your "new" device. You will have to login to your Xiaomi account if it is associated with the device. Then you can choose to restore from a Google Backup and next from Xiaomi Cloud. You can do either one to get your apps back. I would suggest Xiaomi Cloud after Google completes all its downloads - it will place icons in the right places and install your root apps if you had them. If you accidentally wipe your partition later (as I just did while making this tutorial, ouch), you can skip importing, get to the main screen, enable file transfer from the connected PC, then copy the Nandroid backup you absolutely should make and transfer to a PC right after setting all your apps up (logging in etc.). Now for this Nandroid backup you should backup data, boot, dtbo, and vendor partitions (don't forget that fstab.qcom we put here!). Even if you save to your internal device initially, be sure you later put it on a PC for safe keeping. I am just now copying back my TWRP directory to restore my phone this moment as I type...
Pictures are attached below to show the TWRP screens. Also the settings for the best performance using Smart Pack kernel manager included in the ZIP file download (will add after I restore). And a picture of the dial code + GPU Max Freq screen where you turn on the 830mhz GPU clock. Enjoy!

You copied fstab.qcom to /vendor/etc/? Boot into recovery, attached to your PC. Then from a command prompt in Minimal ADB and Fastboot,copy fstab.qcom there. Then type: adb devices. It should show a device ID. Then type adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/. It should say succeeded. Then reboot. This only makes a difference if you are on F2FS.
If you aren't booting to system go ahead and try the TWRP recovery version - unzip and flash that package to boot and dtbo from TWRP Restore. It's already patched with Magisk 19.4 and several people are on it that had issues flashing the files separately.
Code:
I'M NOT RESPONSEABLE IF FLASHING THIS ROM BRICKS/ BREAKS YOUR DEVICE
YOU CHOOSE TO FLASH THIS.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
How to install
-use any recovery you want but i recommend twrp 3
4.0.0 (links down below)
-it's recommend that your format data but wiping system,data,dalvik and cache should be enough
- flash the rom zip file and wait for it to flash
-after flashing is complete click on reboot to system (don't flash magisk or anything yet)
-as soon as you see the miui boot animation do a force restart by holding down the volume down+power button then wait untill the screen turns off
-when the screen turns off remove your fingers amd the phone will reboot and the miui boot animation should now be dim
- now wait 15-20 seconds for it to boot an enjoy!
I RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE NAVIGATION BUTTONS AS ANDROID 10 NAVIGATION WILL CAUSE THE ROM TO LAG
Changelog
- heavy debloat
-fixed ui lag issues
-fixed screen Flickr
-fixed overheating
-fixed huge battery drain
-fixed headphone jack not working
-added lesser audio switch as a system app ( you need to use this app to use headphone audio
-hotspot fix (found in manual fixes)
-minhker 14.6 kernel
-faster boot
-fixed AOD
- certified the A30 as a miui device
- disabled zip signature verification ( you can install YouTube vanced root version)
-fixed google apps
-turning magisk hide on will cause it to randomly reboot
bugs!
1-The brightness slider is broken due to vendor
but.
if you always use your brightness on max
then
download the termux app
type su
then type
setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness null
2- only sim slot 1 works. slot 2 doesn't work
there are 2 manual fixes that you need to do
1- you need to enable developer options and then scroll all the way down and turn off miui optimization and miui high risk. ( you need to do this to install apps from the internal storage)
2- to fix hotspot you need to go to the hotspot setup menu
and click on " device identification" and set it to default
and you're now good to go!
3- people on telegram just reported that calls don't work
you can fix it by downloading this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-8O5u4J1PVNBQa1NfwesEpHHfjA5qGGx/view?usp=drivesdk
move it and place it system/product/overlay
4- if you're having random reboots then try this kernel
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NHJAsjRWbpTsWFdk4b40PqISrSintcF7/view
flash it as a boot.img
Downloads!
ROM:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--APICzq6DZ45xdlIQOj7l1eZRl4r9fW/view?usp=drivesdk

REDMI Y2/S2 Ultimate Guides!
(ysl)
!DISCLAIMER!
Most people I know (including myself) who used my Guides and steps, did that with success many times. If you don't follow exactly the steps or you do a mistake during the process, I do not take any responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen. However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.
AMD RYZEN FASTBOOT FIX
Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. Try the following ways:
1. Install AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers.
2. Enable USB Debugging at device (Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging) and give authorization after connecting it to PC.
3. Use USB Hub.
4. Use USB Type-A 2.0.
5. Download this .bat file (unzip it) or manually create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /freg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /freg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /fCheck the steps an another user did to make it work here.
If this doesn't help, unfortunately you have to use Intel System.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
Please keep in mind by Unlocking Bootloader the device will reset and all your data will be lost. Make a backup of your data first to PC or to USB.
1. Create a Mi account on Xiaomi’s website.
2. Add a phone number to your Mi account.
3. Insert a SIM into your phone (If you haven't added already).
4. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
5. Link the device to your Mi account in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. Also enable USB Debugging.
6. Download the Mi Unlock app (Windows is required to run the app).
7. Run the Mi Unlock app and follow the instructions provided by the app.
8. Reboot your device into Fastboot mode. For that simply turn off your device, press the Power Button + Volume Down (–) button at the same time. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable.
9. After device and Mi account are successfully verified, the Bootloader should be Unlocked and your device will restart by itself.
INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
Fastboot Method (No Custom Recovery currently installed)
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
1. Make sure your Bootloader is Unlocked.
2. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
3. Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging.
4. Download a custom recovery of your choice. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
5. Download the portable Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run adb.exe
6. Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power Button + Volume Down (–) and keep holding both buttons until the word “FASTBOOT” appears on the screen, then release.
7. Once the device is in Fastboot mode, connect your device to PC and verify you can find it by typying in adb: fastboot devices.
8. Flash Recovery by typing in adb: fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly).
9. Reboot to Recovery by typing in adb: reboot recovery or manually hold Power Button + Volume Up (+) until you boot to Recovery.
10. Done! You now have a new Custom Recovery installed.
Recovery Method (Custom Recovery already installed)
1. Download a custom recovery of your choice. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Recovery by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+).
3. Press Install Image.
4. Locate the recovery.img you recently downloaded.
5. Select it and choose the option Recovery and Flash.
6. Go back and Reboot to Recovery.
7. Done! Your new recovery should be installed.
MAGISK ROOT SOLUTION
The easiest way to root your device is via Magisk, it should work in all ROMs, Stock and Customs.
Install Magisk:
1. Install latest TWRP Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]2. Download the Magisk [You can find it in my Collection]3. Reboot to TWRP Recovery by pressing Power Button + Volume Up (+) and flash it.4. Reboot and check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK. [You can find it in my Collection]Note: From Official TWRP Recovery 3.5.1 and onwards (and other recoveries based on that), Magisk.apk can be flashed as apk without the need of rename it to .zip. So you can simply flash the Magisk.apk in TWRP.Manually Creation of Flashable Zip:Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → Magisk.zip.
Uninstall Magisk:
Flash the Uninstall.zip in TWRP Recovery and reboot. [You can find it my Collection]
If Magisk App isn’t uninstalled automatically, manually uninstall the app.
Manually creation of Flashable Uninstall Zip:
Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → uninstall.zip
Uninstall Magisk directly through the Magisk app. Simply press the Uninstall button.
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION (DFE) & Encryption
[You can find it in my Collection]
Disable Force Encryption
Disable Force Encryption (a.k.a DFE) is flashed during installation of a custom ROM to avoid the system encrypting /data partition when the devices boot for the first time.Some ROMs are not encrypted by default and so is not necessary to flash DFE. However if your ROM comes with encryption by default you can always flash DFE after clean installation of ROM and always after every update or flash or you can use any custom recovery like OrangeFox, Pitchblack, Skyhawk Recovery Project which can automatic flash DFE after every flash.I don't recommended to use DFE if you don't switch ROMs frequently and you are casual user. Beside the fact that if you lose your device your data are not protected, many people get in confusion while doing OTA or manually updates, which if the ROM is encrypted by default and flashed DFE and in next update you forget to flash DFE you will lock out from your data and you wil get into bootloop (use custom recoveries mentioned above to avoid that).
Encryption
Warning - This works only on clean flash:
1. Flash ROM.zip in recovery
2. Mount vendor partition in recovery (for some reason does not mounting with newer TWRP).
3. Flash encrypt.zip.
4. Reboot to system.
Note:
The encrypt zip needs to be flashed after every update.
So flash ROM.zip and follow with encrypt zip.
Encrypted ROMs are recommended if you are stable and casual user of a ROM. Encryption have the benefit to protect your data, in case you lose your device for example. Always use the latest TWRP Recovery so you can be able to decrypt the data by filling the same lock screen password you have set in ROM.Some ROMs are not encrypted by default but devs provide an Encryption.zip (script) which can encrypt the ROM. Same as DFE you need to flash it after clean installation of ROM and always after every update to stay encrypted and not get into bootloop. Unfortunatly there is not any custom recovery automatic doing that like with DFE, so you must be careful, avoid doing OTA updates and flash it every time you manually update a ROM.
BATTERY TIPS
Advanced Guide
Simple Battery & Charging Tips
Improve your SOT
Battery Calibration
Steps:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Overheating
Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
Downloading large files.
Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
Playing high-quality games for long time.
Recording videos for extended periods.
Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
Using Multi window.
Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
Downloading large files during a video call.
Recording videos while using a navigation app.
Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
Solution:
Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
Decrease screen brightness.
Close background running applications.
Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.
General:
DO:
Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
DON'T:
Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

How to block ads on Android.
General:
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted.
Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use F-Droid client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG.
For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users.
For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.
Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
Recommended VPN Services.
Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.
Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails you may get. Always check the adress of the email and verify it's legit from the official source.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email.
CLEAN INSTALL CUSTOM ROM
You can also do the same steps below to install Stock MIUI Recovery ROM.
1. Backup all your data to PC or to external SDCard. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost on step 7 while Formating Data or Wiping Internal Storage]
2. Unlock Bootloader. [Read the Unlock Bootloader Guide above]
3. Download: [You can find everything in my Collection]
Custom Recovery of your choice.
Custom ROM of your choice
GApps (be sure you have selected Platform: ARMx64 and the proper Android version of the ROM you are going to flash) if the ROM you are going to flash does not include. [Optional]
Magisk Root Solution [Optional]
Disable Force Encryption [Optional]
4. Move all these files in one folder to your Internal Storage or to External SDCard if you have.
5. Install Custom Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]
6. Reboot to Recovery Power Button + Volume Up (+)
7. Installation:
Steps without external SDCard:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe.
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional] > DFE [Optional - Not Recommended]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Reboot Enjoy!
Steps with external SDCard:
go to Advanced > File Manager > External_SD and delete all folders in ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom ROM/Gapps/Magisk/DFE you want to flash.
Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
Select Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional] > DFE [Optional - Not Recommended]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Reboot Enjoy!
DIRTY INSTALL YOUR CUSTOM ROM
Note: Before you start flashing, keep in mind the ROM you dirty flashing MUST be the same with the one you have already installed.
1. Make a full nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP > Backup > Select everything) [Optional]
2. Remove all Magisk modules. [Optional]
3. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Vendor, Cache.
4. Flash the ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional] > DFE [Optional - Not Recommended]
5. Reboot and Enjoy!
I've skipped some explanations, because if you are going to dirty flash, you already know for example how to boot to TWRP.
CLEAN INSTALL OFFICIAL STOCK MIUI ROM & RELOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
1. Download the official Fastboot ROM and unzip it to your PC. [You can find it in my Collection]
2. Download Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool and run XiaomiMiFlash.exe
3. Turn off you device and then boot in Fastboot mode by pressing Power Button + Volume Down (–) and keep holding both buttons until the word “FASTBOOT” appears on the screen, then release.
4. Connect your device to PC via USB Cable.
5. On the Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool, Click on Select and browse to the folder where you have Unzip the downloaded ROM file then press OK.
6. Click on Refresh button and you will see that your device connected to port com.
7. Select what method you prefer:
Clean All: The process will flash full Fastboot ROM and will wipe everything (include user data) but Bootloader will remain unlocked.
Save User Data: The process will flash Fastboot ROM without wiping user data.
Clean All and Lock: The process will flash full Fastboot ROM and will wipe everything (include user data) but Bootloader will be relocked
8. Now click on the Flash button to begin the flashing progress.
9. Once your ROM is successfully flashed, you’ll see green bar inside XiaomiMiFlashtool.

Increase performance without any battery impact or (by feravolt and gloeysik)
Step 1
- Uninstall ANY OTHER KERNEL MANAGER app including smartpack/Ktweaks to avoid conflict, since this app uses AI and machine learning to dynamically boost performance when needed
- Install FDE AI Magisk Module to make it a system app, thus it will work better and removes all kernel locks from OEMs (I'm looking at you, Samsung) https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases/download/12.4.1m/FDE.AI-as-system-app.MAGISK.zip
- Update FDE AI to the latest version by downloading the latest APK here, since the fde ai magisk module will only install fde ai 12.4.1, not the latest version: https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases
- Move to the bottom of the screen and select AI Chat, then type /advancedai (no space, no uppercase letters). This will going to make the AI more effective, without you having to do anything.
- Go to the settings tab and use the AUTO settings for FDE AI.

i installed it but i got bootloop, in twrp i installed it to super partition and after i installed the kernel, then i restarted
I'm trying to get it installed but i'm getting "No OS installed" after flashing the img as super.
