Hi,

so my 15 days are over now and i can unlock :) After that, i install TWRP and the rom from here (4.28). I do an FORMAT DATA (with YES) and have now access to sd card. After first boot and setup i notice, that there was Google but no Playstore. Why?
Ok, i download latest playstore apk from apkmirror and install it.
All fine for now.
Then i install Magisk 16.4 in TWRP, also no issue. Safetynet all green.

But i notice some issue: Where is face id unlock that was present in latest stable china rom?
Next: i cannot set apn settings for "sim 2", , there is no switch. Only Sim 1 has it.
Next: in Wifi settings i miss the entry, for leave wifi on "only on charge", "allways" or never? The entry is gone.

Volte work only, when you type this in dialer: *#*#86583#*#*


Thats what i notice after 30 min with the 04.28 rom.


P.S. Sorry for my bad english...

You can try wipe cache...

And

No have play store and face id. Because(maybe) this rom beta.
 
OK, wipe doenst solve missing apn settings for sim 2 and wifi standby settings.

Thanx for clarification about playstore and faceid. But i wonder that google app is present but no playstore. Ok, is not a big thing to install it later.
Will face unlock be missing in every weekly rom here?

I just updated from 8.4.12 to 8.4.28. With twrp. Apn settings no problem, 2 sim ok, 4G ok. The wifi standby settings were not in 8.4.12, not are they now(8.4.28).

You are welcome.
I have no idea about face id.
 
Yesterday I've updated to latest 8.4.28. I have the feeling that the phone has become a bit after updating. Somebody else with the same feeling?
 
@mouse100, look at the sourceforge link, in upper left corner is the link, not in the list.

The 04.28 is very laggy :( I doesnt feel like an SD 845, my Mi Note 4 with 625 is smoother.

@cascade128 , i dont have problem with sim 2 but for sim 2 is no apn setting entry so you cant change settings when it was needed.
 
Updated from first rom (8.4.12) to 8.4.28 (dirty update). Its extremely laggy and not smooth especially closing apps and switching between apps. Can not stay, going back to first rom.

Also noticed that flashing gapps did not get google play store on the new rom thats weird... anyone experienced this?
Flashed same gapps as I flashed for previous rom..

@garfi, so the 8.4.12 is smoother then the new one? Then i also would flash the older one. Which gapps package did you flash on the 8.4.12?
 
Stock gapps? I read in other forum, that flashing stock gapps will overwrite miui camera app and must reflash rom to get camera back. True?

That's true. Experienced that as well. I assume you should flash open gapps Pico version. I don't know if that is the correct name. Just use the one with a small amount of Google apps.

Noticed exactly the same. The original Chinese Rom runs so smooth. This rom is garbage at the moment.
 
@anfederin

Exactly. I returned to 8.4.12.

8.4.28 very laggy and phone make reboot.

I don't understand, why it is so slow for global rom?

You prepare and deliver the global rom. Why do you expect to be able to offer a global marketplace device for your software?

Hi guys,

to flash gapps (I flashed stock one because it has more apps from google which is need for my daily use) and also want to use miui camera app other miui apps, you need to create a file named gapps-config.txt and put it through same location with gapps's .zip file before flashing gapps.

and write these things (you can remove what you want inside as this is my personal choice) below and save to the file, after that flash gapps, while flashing gapps, it will read these codes below and will not attend to change miui's stock apps
