    MIUI 12.2 20.9.17

    I've dirty flashed this ROM on a Note 7 (lavender). The previous ROM was the stable version. So far, so good. I got rid of the lag I experienced in the stable version (things would sometimes freeze for 10-20s). I used the OrangeFox 11 recovery, and haven't removed the PIN before flashing. The...

    Downsides of MIUI 12 vs MIUI 11? What about battery?

    I moved to MI12 about 3 weeks ago - stable (lavender). My complaint on Mi11 was wifi didn't pick new networks when roaming, and this was improved/fixed on 12. Battery life for me seems the same or better on 12. However... I'm experiencing huge lags (phone is unresponsive for 20-30s at a time)...

    TWRP always encrypted

    Ok, I did some more reading, it seems the old methods of full backups from recovery are no longer recommended. I've flashed OrangeFox 11.0 and it could read my data partition without asking for an encryption password. By the way (offtopic) - what's the preferred way of backuping and restoring...

    TWRP always encrypted

    Ok, I've tried IceMan's TWRP build and it too asks for password. So, I thought - let's set a lock screen password (instead of pattern). I did that, waited for a while and rebooted to recovery and tried the new password - it still couldn't mount /data. :( So, not sure what the encryption password...

    MIUI 12.0 MIUI 12.0/12.1/12.2/12.5 STABLE RELEASE

    Yes, I understand what data encryption is useful for, but I'd like to keep the ability to do nandroid backups from the recovery. Or possibly use recovery to access files from /data or /sdcard in case of emergency. Or maybe there's a different way to doing backups that I'm not aware of...

    MIUI 12.0 MIUI 12.0/12.1/12.2/12.5 STABLE RELEASE

    I've been testing the Stable MIUI12 version for HMNote7 for a few weeks and I have some weird performance at times. Most often, when waking up the phone (either my power button or fingerprint), or when trying to answer a call, it takes a long time to react to input (and by a long time I mean...

    [SOLVED] 12.0.1 stable for lavender (Note7) feels sluggish at times

    Hello all, I'm trying to debug a performance issue with the current stable Xiaomi MIUI12 ROM for lavender. When I first installed it, I did a dirty flash from Android9/MIUI11. The upgrade worked, but there were instances (especially when waking up or switching apps or starting apps) when the...

    Miui 12 dark theme but white keyboard

    Hello all! I've installed Android 10/MIUI 12 for my Note 7 (lavender) and I'm getting annoyed by dark mode (either on the stock theme or community themes). Dark mode mostly works, but it causes Hacker keyboard to have some white background keys The normal keyboard look is with the white theme...

    TWRP always encrypted

    Ok, I formatted /data from within TWRP 3.4.0 and booted and left the OS to initialize it. Sadly, after reboot to recovery I got the same prompt to decrypt /data. I had to sideload Magisk to install it. I'm running 12.0.1.0 (stable)

    Proximity Sensor Problem

    Thanks, but that hasn't worked for me. However, I tried this app, went through the calibration process, rebooted and now the sensor works fine in calls! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiledirection.proximitysensorreset

    Proximity Sensor Problem

    Could you do me a favor and check if your proximity sensor works if you test it via that dialer code? I don't get any data from it.

    Proximity Sensor Problem

    I too am facing the same issue (I'm on lavender, 10.3 stable). I tried to test my proximity sensor via the dialer -> *#*#6484#*#* -> Proximity Sensor, but nothing registered (as if it were disabled). I'm wondering if there's a way to use the light sensor as proximity sensor during calls (value...
