ADVANCED POWER MENUXposed Mod
Advanced Power Menu is an Xposed Mod which adds advanced reboot options (reboot, soft reboot and reboot to recovery) and screenshot option to your power menu. It works on both AOSP and Xperia devices. For rebooting into recovery, a special implementation for Xperia devices is used, but it will also work on AOSP devices.
Features
[NEW] Anti-theft helper - Stop anyone from turning off your phone /enabling airplane mode when the device is locked. In this way no one can stop Android Device Manager from locating your phone by turning off the phone or disabling mobile data (removable battery not taken into account)
A dedicate first-level option for rebooting
Fully working reboot to recovery(no reboot wrapper required)*, bootloader and soft reboot
Screenshot function
Quick dial - call a predefined number directly from the power menu
Toggle mobile data from your power menu
High quality mdpi-xxhdpi icons
GUI for different configurations
Multi-language support
Thanks to Xposed framework,
Easy Installation. No flashing required.
Works both for odexed and deodexed ROMs
Quite future proof (should work for Android 4.3 if there is no big framework change from Sony)#
Should work for a lot of devices
* - For rebooting into recovery, a special implementation for Xperia devices is used, but it will also work on AOSP devices.
# - Unfortunately, there IS framework change from Sony, mainly caused by the new theming engine. Therefore the regular Xposed Installer doesn't work on Xperia 4.3 ROMs. You can download the special version here (released by rovo89, mirrored because I've forgotten the original link):http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2454695&d=1387049158

You can add items into the power menu like this:

Anti-theft helper: this is what a bad guy will see if he tries to turn off your phone while the device is locked:
Settings - great level of customization:
Prerequisites
All Xperia Phones with rooted stock 4.0+ ROM / Nexus devices / AOSP#/ a number of other devices(see confirmed working devices below) (Please do test and tell me)
Xposed framework installed
#AOSP: not including CM, PAC, etc. This may mess things up and there's no point in doing so
Warning: This will definitely NOT work for Samsung TouchWiz stock ROMs or anything based on them!
The effect of this on TouchWiz ROMs will be that your phone will reboot immediately whenever you press the power button
(Google Play Edition will be ok, I think)
Note: for Android 4.4 you need the latest version of Xposed Installer (2.4 Beta 1 or later)
A user has reported that sound options disappear when using this mod on HTC One. I currently have no idea why this happens, and I'm too busy to figure it out at this moment. Sorry.
Installation
You will need xposed framework and for this mod to work! See prerequisites above.
After you meet the prerequisites,
Download and install the apk in the next post
Go to Xposed Installer > Modules and enable "Advanced Power Menu"
Reboot and you are done! (Sometimes you might need to reboot more than once for all functions to work)
Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for any damage caused by this mod! Use this at your own risk.

Special Thanks

Appeal
If this app helps you please press the Thanks button.
Note
The Change Network State and Internet permission is needed for toggling mobile data.
NOTICE
My app, as well as some other xposed modules, was placed on Google Play without my consent.
This Google Play entry (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ncedrebootmenu) was made without my knowledge and agreement, and I am by no means affiliated with the said developer on that entry.
Authentic releases, whether current or future, is only available on Xposed Modules Repository unless I make another notice.
Download
From now on, Advanced Power Menu is hosted on Xposed Module Repository. You may go to there to download, or directly download from Xposed Installer App.
Old versions on xda:
v3.0
v2.1r
v2.1b
v2.0r
v2.0b
v1.1r
v1.1b
v1.0 apk
Which version should I download?
Release(r): Disabled most of the logs. Use this if you have no problems with the app
Beta(b): With full verbose logging. Use this if you encounter problems. Logs can be found at /data/xposed/debug.log
What can you do if the app doesn't work / if issue happens?
Step 1: Try fixing it yourself
1. Make sure that you have read the prerequisites and installation guide thoroughly/
2. Reboot your phone TWICE (TWO TIMES)
For every single xposed mod, a reboot after installation is necessary. But that might not be enough as users have reported that the app doesn't work after a single reboot, but things get right when they reboot again. So rebooting TWICE is recommended
3. Disable all other Xposed Mod
Xposed framework do take care of mods that hook the same method, but sometimes conflicts can still happen. Try disabling all mods except mine in the Xposed Installer. Then reboot and see if things get right.
4. Clear app data/reinstalling my app
The settings may get messed up when my app updates, so try reinstalling and see if it helps.
5. Use an older version of my app
Try this and see if it helps. If so that means a new update breaks something old and please tell me about that!
If all the above doesn't work, you can then send me an issue report.
Step 2: Tell me and see if I can fix it
(Please don't do this before doing step 1)
Please send me an issue report including
1) a description of the issue
2) screenshots (if it helps explain the situation)
3) The device, ROM, Android OS version, and the app version
4) debug.log (Please enable verbose logging in my app first, then do something like long-pressing the power button)(you may obtain the log in xposed installer 2.4)
5) Anything else you think it's important
through one of the following means:
1) xda forum thread/PM (preferred)
2) e-mail (NOTE: please begin your subject with [APM] so I can better sort my emails. Thanks)
Please note that I can't solve the problem with insufficient information. I will also IGNORE any email with NO BODY TEXT (I use gmail)
Keep in mind that even with all the information I still may not be able to fix your problem because I do not own your device and I'm only a novice android developer. Sorry.
FAQ
Q: The mod doesn't work!
A: Other xposed mods might interfere with this mod. Disable them, reboot and try again.
Q: Rebooting into recovery doesn't work!
A: Flashing the DoomLorD's reboot wrapper MAY help. However, as the wrapper is intended to be optional, there might be something wrong. So it'd be nice if you could send me some logs
Q: There's something wrong with the mod...
A: Just disable the mod in Xposed Installer and reboot. Then everything should be fine again (Should this happens please tell me and send me the debug.log and debug.log.old files. This helps me to fix the issue)]
Q: I have a bootloop! What should I do now?
You can follow the following methods (quoted from xposed framework main thread) to disable the xposed framework
In case you get into a boot loop:
You can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
You could also create a file /data/xposed/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed as well.

Usage Warning
DO NOT press Vol-Down + Power while a screenshot taken by Advanced Power Menu is being saved! This will result in constant force-stop of System UI and you will need to reboot the phone to solve this!
Usage Tip
You can long-press the reboot option on the power menu if you wanna do a normal reboot. Then you can skip the reboot mode dialogue.

I would just suggest that you remove the logging code to prevent clutter on the debug.log file, since it appears to be working fine.
To me the following message: There was a problem parsing the package.
Damn, I want this application. :crying:
Note: Xblast tools work fine in me phone.

ADVANCED REBOOT MENUXposed Mod
targeted towards the Sony Xperia Z
Many of us are waiting for a perfect reboot menu. We don't want one that hides your original power off option with the reboot options in a sub-menu. We don't want one that are specifically for deodexed ROMs. We don't want one that works only partially (very often reboot to recovery doesn't work for Xperia Z, as there is no dedicate reboot partition). We don't want one that doesn't work with a firmware update. We just want a simple reboot menu to get things easier...
Now, wait NO MORE as I proudly present you my work of ADVANCED REBOOT MENU Xposed Mod.
Features
A dedicate first-level option for rebooting
Fully working reboot to recovery and soft reboot
High quality xxhdpi icons
Thanks to Xposed framework,
Easy Installation. No flashing required. (except reboot wrapper)
Works both for odexed and deodexed ROMs
Quite future proof (should work for Android 4.3 if there is no big framework change from Sony)
Should work for a number of similar devices (not tested)
Screenshots
Prerequisites
A rooted Sony Xperia Z with stock odexed or deodexed ROM / All Xperia Phones with rooted stock ROM(Please do test and tell me)
DooMLoRD's Reboot Wrapper "for xperia devices" installed(for rebooting into recovery)
Xposed framework installed
Installation
You will need xposed framework and reboot wrapper(only for rebooting into recovery) for this mod to work! See prerequisites above.
After you meet the prerequisites,
Download and install the apk below
Go to Xposed Installer and enable "Advanced Reboot Menu"
Reboot and you are done!
If you use the reboot to recovery or soft reboot function for the first time you may need to grant superuser permission.

Soft Reboot: see below
Recovery: Did you flashed DooMLoRD's reboot wrapper? Rebooting into recovery doesn't work without that.
You can test whether you've installed the reboot wrapper by entering the following commands in the terminal emulator:
Code:
$ su
# reboot recovery
If this boots straight into recovery, you've reboot wrapper installed.

Problems regarding soft reboot:
When I first tested my application the soft reboot is somehow ~15 seconds shorter than normal reboot. But when I test now the soft reboot is ~10 seconds longer than the normal reboot. This shows that the two reboot modes are actually the same and the differences are just some periodic fluctuations. Soft reboot doesn't work. Sorry for that.
However, I have still not found any mod/app that can implement a 'soft reboot' that is drastically shorter than normal reboot. I think due to the unique framework structure, it may not be possible to implement a meaningful 'soft reboot' on Xperia Z. If you can find any mod/app that can do this, do tell me about that. Thanks.
Anyway I'll remove the soft reboot option in the next version.

Same thing here - XposedInstaller's soft reboot is much faster than the regular reboot.
How about trying the same technique in the next update to see how it goes for users? https://github.com/rovo89/XposedInstaller/blob/master/assets/soft_reboot.sh

[F.A.Q.
Please read before posting any questions!
The latinime and gallery3dold apk's are attached at the bottom of this post
Q: I can't can't make phone calls and/or send messages?
A: Make sure your IMEI is correct. To check your IMEI, go into your dialer and type in *#06#. If it's not correct, go back to stock, flash RC2, and then flash the latest version.
Q: How to flash a newer version of MIUI over an old one
A: Format system, data and cache and install the newer zip. If you do not want to lose data then do not format "data", but if the rom is buggy then do a factory reset and reboot.
Q: How do I install this if I'm coming from CM7?
A: Format data, system, and cache. Flash the MIUI.zip and then do a wipe data/factory reset. Reboot. If you are not flashing Segnaro's package, you will need to flash a CM7 kernel and modem.
Q: I applied a theme, but it didn't change everything?
A: The MIUI Dev's have been changing the theme system recently so themes that have not been updated will not work or will not theme everything. Once the beta gets close to being finished, more themes will created and updated.
Q: Why is the auto-rotation reversed?
A: *If you don't know know how to do most of these things, you should not do it, or ask for more help other wise you might send your phone into a bootloop.
If you download the i9000 package instead of a captivate package, the auto-rotation will be incorrect. To fix this, you need to grab these files from the CM7 rom:
lib/libsensorservice.so
lib/hw/sensors.aries.so
lib/hw/sensors.goldfish.so
After you copy those files to your sd card, download Root Explorer or another file managing app. Go to where those files are located on your sd card, and copy each one-by-one and paste them in the correct spot. You will need to be in R/W mode for this to work. After you paste it and overwrite the previous one, you need to change the permissions for each one to this:
User: X-X-0
Group: X-0-0
Others: X-0-0
X = checkmarks 0 = unchecked
Reboot the phone and auto-rotion should now be correct.
Q: The battery doesn't fully charge?
A: This is a Samsung feature to keep the battery healthy. Once it reaches around 96%, it's charged and you can uplug your phone.
Q: My wifi doesn't work?
A: Reflash the kernel. If that doesn't work, you may need to reflash the rom.
Q: My statusbar icons turn either gray and green?
A: This is a feature of Android 2.3. Gray means you have a signal/data and green means you have a signal/data and are connected to the google servers.
Q: The notification menu is in Chinese!
A: A simple reboot should resolve the issue.
Q. Why can't this be flashed with one CMW zip?
A. This rom is a port from the nexus s version. It is built on CM7 in order to correctly partition the device. The initial kernel flash via Odin can not be replicated via clockwork.
Q: When I get a call or call someone, my screen turns black!
A: Hit the power button a couple of times until the screen turns back on. If that does not work or it keeps happening, go to Settings, Call Settings, turn off proximity sensor and when holding phone up to face make sure you turn screen off using power.
Q. I have no data what should I do?
A. Toggle screen off and on a couple times.
Q: I can't download anything from the browser/market/etc.?
A: Try these options in order:
- Go into the 'Downloads' app on your phone, hit the menu button, and select, "Download using Mobile network." Reboot.
- Go into Recovery, wipe data/factory reset.
Q. I am using a kernel that allows for under volting, but I can't get the sliders to move in voltage app.
A. Known issue, with persistence they will move.
Q. How can I go back to 2.2 Roms?
A. Odin flash stock with repartition. One click will do, provided you can use it on your device.
Q. Can I use the camera from my favorite 2.2 rom?
A. No, there is no twframework because this is not a Samsung rom. Nothing Samsung will work.
Q. Can I use a Samsung App from my favorite 2.2 rom?
A. No, there is no twframework because this is not a Samsung rom. Nothing Samsung will work.
Q. Why is battery life so bad?
A. Known issue for this and CM7. Currently it is not fully optimized for our device.
Q: Can I use a different kernel?
A: Yes, you can use any Captivate CM7 kernel.
Q. I tried to toggle 2g and now I have no signal.
A. 3g/2g toggle works but you must disable data first. To get data back go to recovery wipe cache and davlik cache. Reboot. If that does not work try a modem flash or reflash rom.
Q: I installed swype, but it doesn't seem to work?
A: Download the Swype Installer from here. Follow the instructions all the way until the end until you get to the end. Reboot the phone and swype will now work. If you already tried to install swype, please clear the data on swype and swype installer and then uninstall both. Then try the fix.
Q: Why am I getting duplicate contacts after installing this Rom?
A: Log into your Google account online. Go into your account settings, view data stored with this account. Manage contacts, click the got duplicates button.
Q: Every time I flash MIUI, I reboot into CWM.
A: Go into Mounts and Storage
- Format System
- Format Cache
- Format Data
Q: Why can’t I make calls or connect to the mobile network?
A: Check to make sure your IMEI is correct. If not correct, flash RC2 then the version you were previously trying to install.
Q: After flashing the newest rom, my keyboard does not auto correct anymore.
A: Download the LatinIME.apk from the bottom of this post. Using Root Explorer move the LatinIME.apk into system/apps and change permissions to RW-W-W

Already mentioned but just giving a little more detail. Auto-rotate doesn't seem to work on the home screen (possibly supposed to be this way?) and the menus rotate opposite from how you would want them to do so. Trying a different kernel now to see if it changes anything.
Other than that, I am loving the UI. Can't wait for the finished product.
EDIT: Issue persists with TheEscapist's CM7 kernel. Temporary solution is to disable auto-rotate. All menu's show up normally this way, but you can't view anything in landscape mode.
Yeah the auto rotate is kind of annoying I can't get it too work properly. Btw did you follow my instructions for the flash? I don't really care I just wanted too see if I listed them right lol and the media files don't seem to work with apps sometimes also , just putting that out there

4. Real_Pac's Back up File for MyAndroid Tools (pro)-Fix to solve Wakelock issues caused by Google Play Services
+ also disabling unnecessary Services to save more battery!!!
We all heard about wakelocks and generally about services which drains the battery of our phones immediately.
To disable them without knowledge could damage your running system.
I made a Back Up for "MyAndroid Tools (pro)" to find on Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=de to make that procedure very easy for you.
You will be able to disable more than 150!!! services with just one tap.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
2. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage.
3. Now open the app "MyAndroidTools" and tap on "about".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).
Standard Zip:
After restoring this file you won't be able to use Google fitness gadgets, streamcasts, Google Kids and also Google Wear.
Light Zip:
This Zip file wont disable any of the above mentioned services.
Alternative method if "MyAndroidtools Pro" doesn't work.-@daltonhrrll Big thanks for his alternative method!
1. Download the app "Disable Service" from Playstore- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
2. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
3. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage
4. Rename the file"myandroidtoolspro_backup.txt" to "DS_backup.txt".
3. Now open the app "Disable Service" and tap on "settings".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).

5a. Amplify Settings-Restorable Titanium Backup File
Warning!
[LP5.1.x User be careful!Amplify will only work if your current Rom supports unofficial Xposed]
One chapter before I was talking about disabling services to save battery. The. most battery drain was caused by "Google Services".
But some of them are really important for your running system. So, now we gonna change their delay time to fix the wakelock problems and to save battery.
I'm using "Titanium Backup" over years. To find on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=de
You also need xposed framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 [email protected] and
Amplify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce&hl=de
Just few steps and you're done.
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Amplify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Amplify.
4. Confirm
That's all.

thanks to: @Calkulin @abhi08638 (for the hint)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mod-google-play-services-update-wake-t3078082
5c. Real_Pac's Greenify-Restorable Titanium Backup File
We all know "Greenify" is a great tool to hiberante active user apps and system apps. But which system-apps are safe to hibernate?
I made a restorable "Titanium Backup"- file which one includes almost every stock system-app.
Please hibernate all your user-apps manually.
Important:
- Android 5.1.x user's should activate the greenify module in xposed settings only then if the unofficial xposed build for 5.1.x works on your current Rom . Otherwise your phone will stuck
on bootscreen
- Do not hibernate apps with push-services if you wanna still receive "push-messages".
- Android 5.0 user should switch to "Boost-mode".
- Android 5.1.x user should switch to "Root-mode" if "Boost-mode" isn't supported.
Both can apply this file without any problems.
I'm also gonna make a restorable file for "boost-mode". Be patient
Hints:
I recommend to buy the "paid-version". The expermential features will allow you to hibernate more apps, specially system apps.
If you tap on the "3-dot symbol" you will be able to find the entry "create hibernation shortcut". It makes an shortcut on your homescreen which will allow you to hibernate all selected apps before with just one click.
Instruction:
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Greenify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Greenify.
4. Confirm
That's all

[Flashable[ROOT]Omniswitch instead recent panel for LP5.1.x
credits: @kikuto for "Toggle Omniswitch"
I hate the stock recent panel. The best alternative for me was Omniswitch. But some Custom Roms doesnt't have this inside.
Found some "solutions" before but with no possibility to use it instead of stock recent panels.
A Xda-User called @kikuto https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch made a toggle apk.
It will allow you to open omniswitch but the stock recent panel in navbar will still exist.
I made a flashable Zip which already included the newest "Omniswitch" and "Toggle Omniswitch".
Just flash it and follow this....
Now, there are 2 ways to change it:
If your current roms supports custom navbar settings, follow instruction 1. If not, follow instruction 2.
1:
A. Go to Navbar settings
B. Open "buttons" settings
C. Delete the recent panel menu button
D. Add a new button and choose "Toggle Omni Switch"
2:
A. Install "Gravity Box for LP". http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
B. Open it and tap on "Navigation Bar tweaks".
C. Now tap on "Custom key settings".
D. Enable it and also tap on " Swap with menu key".
E Tap on "Single-tap action" and choose "Toggle Omniswitch"
Now open "Omniswitch and activate it"
Reboot-Done!

[APP]Intelli3G -Restorable Titanium Backup File
Setup to auto toggle between network modes helping maximize your standby
credits: @daltonhrrll -Thank you for the idea and the creation of the Manual!
What is it?
It's an xposed module that toggles between 2 user defined network modes based on current conditions. For example when your screen goes off or you connect to wifi it will switch to power saving mode, Which is 2G if you're using my profile. When your screen comes on or you disconnect from Wi-Fi it will switch you to fast network mode which will be 3G by default but you can switch it to 4G if you prefer.
Intelli3G: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voidvapps.intelli3g
Instruction:
1. Make sure you have xposed installed.
2. Follow the link above to download Intelli3G.
3. Once it's been installed head over into your xposed app and activate the module.
4. Reboot
5. Download my titanium backup restorable file of Intelli3G and place it into the titanium backup folder on the root of your sd card.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_HWCBYTD4HGWjV6QUZFVEpLdnM/edit?usp=docslist_api
6. Open up titanium backup find Intelli3G and restore "DATA ONLY".
7. Reboot, it may not actually be needed but do it anyways.
8. Enjoy your new battery life.
***NOTE***
By default the slow network is 2G and the fast network is 3G. If you wish to change it to 4G, open intelli3G select fast network and select LTE GSM/WCDMA. This will connect to LTE when available but use any bands it can to keep signal. My configuration you'll be restoring will not disrupt downloads or streaming as it's setup so if there is more than 15 kbps of traffic it won't switch modes until the traffic is below the threshold. There is also a 1 minute delay after screen off before it will switch to power saving mode that way if you turn your screen off then back on quickly it won't cause loss of signal which is a known issue the Dev is working on. If you do for some reason experience a loss of signal simply lock and unlock your device or toggle airplane mode on and off to fix.

HARDWARE MODs
DISCLAIMER
AS ALWAYS DO ON YOUR OWN RISK. HARDWARE MOD can potentially damage or burn your device
don´t come to cry if your phone xploded,nuclear blasted or melted
Use 2 sim + 1 Micro SD card at the same time
Is not that hard and will be easy for less experienced hobbyists
So here we go : (pictures are bellow)
--Micro-SIM heated above a under cup of HOT coffee or HOT tea or HARIRA for a few seconds until the plastic was soft.
--gently bent down the soft plastic then and slide the gold-plated part(chip with contact plate). This part bend in any case! Now you have a MICRONANO-SIM (still smaller than Nano-SIM).
--Super Glue MICRONANO SIM on the SD card.the sim card will be a little over the edge of the SD card, as the drawer of the phones it has a recess. (SIM is 90 degrees rotated to the SD card inserted) Had me the exact position of the SIM previously penciled in pencil on the SD card. Recommendation: During the gluing, cover the terminals of the SD card with tape to prevent superglue boils.
--DONE

Root genius does not work at all for rooting the global stable rom
Quick query - I just got the phone, and I have the global 7.1.7.0 version. So if I want to switch to the developer ROM, I just have to download the updater file, choose the package from the updater section in settings and just flash it? No need for root or bootloader unlocking?

I can't get te screenshot because I remove it.
But it's logic, the Xposed files that you uploaded are for Redmi Note 3 Hennesy (MTK) not Kenzo (SD) because MTK uses MIUI 7 based on 5.0.1 and SD uses MIUI 7 based on android 5.1.0.
SDK21 is for Android 5.0.1 and SDK22 is for Android 5.1.0 You known what I mean?
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
I downloaded it from here and it works (look at "*MIUI 6/7 BASED ON Android 5.1.X only" section, 64-bit processor)
http://en.miui.com/thread-78894-1-1.html
The unlocking method with the Dev ROM doesn't work for me It still says that "Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock"

thanks for the heads up i mixed the files. OP updated
Hi @Perfectdevil
Firstly, thank you very much for creating this thread for the Redmi Note 3 PRO.
Second, please check the information in your OP. The China DEV ROM 6.3.17 does indeed have ROOT - you just need to enable it from the Security/Permissions App. This will download and install an update providing native root access. It's not quite as useful as SuperSU but it does work.
Please check your instructions for loading TWRP because this method (which was originally posted by @feds64 on Mi Forums) does not result in a permanent TWRP installation. (TWRP disappears after reboot). This is all explained in thread on MI forums, and the only way to get it to work is to flash a cracked boot.img.
Without a lasting TWRP (or with stock recovery only) things like Flashify just won't work. So we can't use Flashify to flash Xposed without TWRP. And if you have TWRP, then Flashify is not necessary.
Anyway, look forward to more info here.

Welcome to the NitrogenOS Q&A Megathread. Here you can find answers for the most popular problems and questions about NitrogenOS. I started this thread, so that new users don't repeatedly ask the same questions multiple times. While I am fairly new to coding in Java, I can definitely say I know a lot about Android phones and NitrogenOS, but you'll have to trust me on that. If you need any more help, you can even PM me and I'll try to reply as soon as I can.
You can find the original NitrogenOS thread here.
ROM info
Developer: xyyx
Latest Android version: 8.1 Oreo
NOS Download (latest): https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/kenzo_test/8.1/
Bugs and updates
- A (very) small amount of users reported Google Dialer not working properly while installed through OpenGapps or the Play Store, you can still use stock dialer
1. Test or stable?!?!
Test in this case doesn't mean less stable. xyyx named the two versions a little confusingly.
Test means Oreo (Android 8.0 and 8.1) and Stable means Nougat (Android 7.1.2).
So let's make this a little less confusing:
Oreo (8.0) builds -> Download from here
Oreo (8.1) builds -> Download from here
Nougat (7.1.2) builds -> Download from here
2. Youtube PiP (Picture in Picture mode)
Google has patched PiP a long time ago, so it doesn't work with the latest Youtube releases. The last official release working with PiP is 12.34.55, which you can download from ApkMirror.
My preferred option however is iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback), a modified version of Youtube, but it gets a little confusing as there are multiple options.
You can download it from this thread.
Now the tricky part - choosing the right version. I always prefer the Vanced version, which can be found in the 2nd post. Again you have multiple options, but I will not go through all of them since they are explained pretty good in the post itself. While iYTBP enables PiP, it also blocks ads and adds a lot of useful settings and new updates come very frequently. There are multiple installation methods, but I prefer the Magisk one, since it offers options like detaching the Youtube app from Play Store. What this means is, that you don't have to disable auto-updates and it will not bug you to constantly update it.
You can try these methods:
Magisk Module (Easiest):
1. Open Magisk Manager
2. Go to Downloads
3. In the search bar type "Youtube", you should see two results
4. Choose either the normal or the black theme (I personally prefer the black one)
5. Press the download arrow and then "Install"
6. Wait for a while (it's a big package to download and unpack)
7. Reboot
This is by far the easiest option and the module is updated fairly often.
Manual:
1. Delete or uninstall any previous release of Youtube. If you installed it as a system app, disable it or delete the /system/app/YouTube folder. If you had to delete the folder, reboot.
2. Download the Youtube apk
3. Make a folder called YouTube (watch the caps!)
4. Move the apk to this folder and rename it as YouTube (again with the caps)
5. Copy/move the folder to /system/app (The directory should look like this: /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk)
6. Reboot
Magisk (manual):
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. Since we're installing from Magisk, you'll need to set MAGINSTALL to YES (MAGINSTALL="YES"). I usually also enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules and press the + button. Now select the universal installer zip and flash it in Magisk.
4. Reboot
Recovery method:
Same as for Magisk, but MAGINSTALL is set to NO (MAGINSTALL="NO"). In case you didn't read the Magisk method, here is the recovery method...
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. I usually enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Reboot to recovery, go to Install and choose the universal installer zip, flash it.
4. Reboot
If you open a video in fullscreen mode and press the home button, it should open it in PiP mode. If you want to change some advanced settings, you can go to your Account (the round icon with your profile picture) -> Settings -> iYTBP Settings
3. Goodix & FPC - What are they
Goodix and FPC are two different types of fingerprint sensors (or rather sensor manufacturers). They both work in Android 8.1 builds. Custom kernels or mods may break the fingerprint sensor functionality.
4. Rooting
tl;dr: rooting NitrogenOS is the same as rooting any other custom rom, just flash Magisk, SuperSU, phh's superuser or anything else.
Now for the extended version.
Magisk:
Magisk is a great open-source root manager, developed by topjohnwu. It features a feature rich app, but most people prefer it because of it's "modules", packages which can do a bunch of things, from installing apps like Viper4AndroidFX or Dolby Atmos, to modifying system settings, like the volume steps increase. Magisk also features an option called "Magisk Hide", which can bypass Android's SafetyNet.
Check out the Magisk thread.
You can directly download the latest version of Magisk from https://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
SuperSU:
SuperSU is an alternative root manager. It used to be developed by Chainfire, but has recently been purchased by another company. I still prefer Magisk, but SuperSU is a great alternative for new users. My problem with it though is, that it is not open-source and the new buyer is pretty secretive so I don't really trust them.
Check out the SuperSU website for the download link.
phh's SuperUser:
Another open-source root manager, but the great thing about this one is, that it's very minimalistic and very small in size.
Check out the SuperUser thread and phh's Build Bot.
5. Google Apps (gapps)
Google apps are a vital part of custom roms. You might not know this, but AOSP and CM based roms are made from Google source code. Google actually makes Android open-source, but the Play Store and other Google apps are not. That's why roms like NitrogenOS do not come with the Play Store preinstalled. That is where Open Gapps come in. They are prepackaged apps, updated almost daily. They come in various sizes and versions, but they can all be flashed in TWRP like a normal zip file.
Platform: arm/arm64/x86/x86_64 - RN3 has an arm64 processor (Think of it as a 64-bit CPU for phones)
Android: 8.0/7.1/7.0... - This is the android version, NOS is Oreo based so choose 8.0 (Or 7.1 for Nougat) [Check below for OpenGapps 8.1]
Variant: This is where it gets complicated. There are a LOT of versions to choose from. For more in-depth resources check the OpenGapps' package comparison.
But OpenGapps are a lot more customisable, to the level where you can choose individual apps you want installed. The easiest way to do this, is to flash the Aroma package, which enables you to choose exactly which packages you want installed. Another option is to configure any of the selected packages using a gapps-config.txt file. You can learn more about that in the Advanced Features and Options section.
You can download daily builds for any Android version from https://opengapps.org/
6. TWRP (Recovery)
A recovery is a partition, used to flash files like ROMs, gapps and any other modifications. You do (in most cases) need an unlocked bootloader to use it. Unlocking your bootloader will not be described on this thread, as there are a lot of resources for our device.
Official TWRP - This is the official TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for our device
You can find the latest updates for TWRP on their website.
Red Wolf - This is a modified version of TWRP, my absolute favourite because of it's custom features.
Flashing TWRP:
If you don't have a custom recovery installed and you have unlocked your bootloader, then download the latest version of your preferred recovery and follow these steps:
1. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, or use sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot if you're on Linux.
2. Enable USB Debugging (Settings -> About phone -> Press "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options). You should find the Developer options in settings above "About Device". Find USB Debugging and enable it.
3. Connect your PC to the phone via a cable. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which will open CMD) or Terminal on Linux and type this (same for both OSs): adb devices. Select "Always allow on this computer" and confirm access on your phone.
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot/bootloader (By holding Power and Vol-, releasing the power button after a vibration and holding the Vol- button until you see the Xiaomi mascot).
5. Type (In CMD/Terminal): fastboot devices, to confirm if the phone has been recognised, then fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
6. After it has succesfully finished, remove the cable and reboot directly to recovery (Power and Vol+, release power after vibration, but keep holding the Vol+ button until you see the TWRP or RedWolf logo).
If you do already have a custom recovery installed and just want to update it, flash the .img or .zip file in your already installed recovery and select "Reboot to recovery".
7. NOS asks me for a password after flashing?!!?!?
This is actually not NitrogenOS's fault, it's a byproduct of your previous rom, most often MIUI. What this means is, that your internal storage is encrypted and the only way to fix this, is to backup everything on your internal storage, which you can do by connecting your phone to your pc while in recovery. You should be able to access the phone's storage and move the files from there. If you for some reason can't do that, you can still put in an sdcard and copy the files to it in TWRP. Bottom line, backup the files and then go to "Wipe" and find the "Format data" button. You might see a "wipe data" button, but this is not the same. When you "wipe data" you are wiping your system, cache, dalvik cache and data partitions, but formatting data will format your internal partition as well and thus remove the encryption.
You can finally reflash NOS and gapps or whatever other modification you want.
8. Firmwares
Check out this link to download the latest firmware for our device.
What is firmware? - It's what connects hardware to software (don't confuse it with a kernel). It's what, for example, makes the camera work.
Do I really need firmware - Yes (but it's already installed, even after completely wiping the stock rom, since it's on separate partitions).
Do I need the most up-to-date firmware - Actually no, the only difference you will notice is in the signal and WiFi strength. If yours are good enough, you don't need to update, otherwise feel free to download the newest version from the link above.
What is emmc_appsboot.mbn? - It's a bootloader update. Bootloader or fastboot is the partition in which you have unlocked your bootloader and flashed the recovery. If you have officially unlocked your bootloader, then you can flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn, but if you have unofficially unlocked your bootloader, do not flash these files as they will re-lock it. But you can still flash the version without emmc_appsboot.mbn.
Kenzo? Kate? - Kate devices are the same as kenzo ones but are a little bigger.
Some comparisons:
Kenzo
Size: 150 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 164g
Kate
Size: 152 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 167g
Model numbers:
Kenzo: 2015116
Kate: 2015161
Kate devices are 32/3 GB, and some kenzo devices are as well (some are 16/2 GB), not really sure about this part.
Global stable or developer? - Most people use developer roms, but again, this is not the actual ROM, just the firmware extracted from the rom, it doesn't really matter which one you choose.
When do I need to flash firmware? - If you're coming from MIUI8 (or 9), then you probably have the newest firmware. In this case you don't need to flash it, because MIUI roms already have firmware included in the update. If you're coming from a CM or AOSP based rom you also probably don't have to flash it, but I suggest you update it just in case. If your signal is good enough though, there really is no need.
9. How to flash the rom
Flashing is pretty straight forward. Just go to the Install section of TWRP and flash it like any normal zip, nothing special.
If you're coming from MIUI, then the full procedure is this:
1. Unlock your bootloader (google it, useless explaining it here)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Make a full device backup (Nandroid backup)
4. Copy or move all important files from the internal storage to an sdcard or your pc
5. Format data, or in other words, wipe EVERYTHING (excluding external storage) - This will delete all your photos and anything else in internal storage
6. Flash the latest NOS "test" build (Oreo)
7. Flash gapps (I recommend opengapps.org, check above)
8. Reboot to system
10. OTA?
What is OTA? - OTA means Over The Air (Update)
Does NOS have OTA? - Actually yes and no, newer updates (from March 2018 on) do have partial OTA (it does check for updates and notify you, while also giving a direct download link to SourceForge, but you will have to manually flash every update in your recovery.
What about incremental updates? - Sorry, but no. You'll have to download full packages every time. If you have a bandwidth cap then just download an update every week or two, you can check the changelog to see if you think it's worth updating to.
11. Google Camera
If you're having problems with the official Google Camera or just want some added features then look no further than modded camera apps. Check out this thread by emime12, it's very frequently updated and features a lot of different camera mods, including Google Camera, MIUI Camera, MOTO Camera and many more.
Recommended settings:
3x3 Grid - For better photos
I usually disable "Save location" and "Camera sounds"
Model: Pixel XL (corr) - default
Config camera HDR+: NEXUS 6
HDR+ parameters: Default
Panorama resolution: High
Advanced: Enable both
Experimental: I usually leave this disabled but it's your choice.
Back camera video resolution: UHD 4K (30 fps)
In case your camera doesn't work check if you have these two files and delete them:
/System/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
and
/System/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
Credits go to: @emime12 and Njaiker.
You can find more info about problems and updates on emime12's thread.
Settings may differ a lot, so check emime12's recommended or just test until you find ones that work for you
12. RAM Management - Low free RAM
Android's RAM (Read Only Memory) management doesn't work like Windows'. Android manages RAM very well, "Free RAM is wasted RAM" is a very common expression on XDA. Android loads the first couple of apps into the RAM and priorities the open one. More used ram means more apps loaded in ram which means faster load times. Don't worry about it too much and just enjoy the fast loading speeds.
13. VoLTE?
VoLTE should work on Android 8.1. Magisk, Viper or any other mods may break it.
14. Custom kernels
While there are a lot of custom kernels, I suggest you stick with the stock one, as it is made specifically for NOS and thus it is the most stable. If you still want a custom kernel, you can try Radon or Agni but they might break VoLTE or your fingerprint sensor.
Agni XDA Thread - By psndna88
Radon XDA Thread - By Umang96
15. Daily driver or not?
Yes, NitrogenOS Oreo is very stable, definitely enough for a daily driver. It is the best Oreo rom for our device (in my opinion), as it offers just the right amount of customization and stability.
15. GPS
Some users have reported low accuracy, but you should be fine if you turn on High Accuracy mode and/or install Faster GPS.
Update: In recent updates GPS shouldn't be a problem anymore as xyyx has fixed it, but some users have still reported low accuracy.
16. Viper4Android FX
(There may be other ways, but I haven't tested them yet so I can't confirm if they work) By far the easiest way to install Viper4Android FX is using Magisk. There is Magisk module called ViPER4Android FX Materialized. Download and install that module from the Magisk repo, choose your preferred installation option (By pressing Vol+ or Vol- to select which version you want installed and if you want it materialized - for newest materialized version press Vol+ 2 times) and finally reboot. Try playing some music and open the Viper app. Turn on the "Master Power" switch and the "Playback Gain Control" (the easiest way to tell if it worked). If after a little time the volume increases, it means that Viper4Android FX works. If not, press the three dots and choose "Exit" (without turning off the master power or gain control). Now open the app again and it should work. You can also check that in the side menu under "Driver status", if it's enabled and processing, then everything works.
You may or may not have to exit and re-enter the app after reboot to enable processing (in my case I had to).
I would show you my recommended settings (as requested), but to be honest I only use:
Headset
Viper Bass (Natural bass, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB)
Viper Clarity (Natural, 6 dB)
Sometimes I use Field surround with default settings
Phone speakers
eXtra loud (Slight, 4x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
Bluetooth device
Playback gain control (Moderate, 6x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
If I'm at a party with my bluetooth speaker I pump it up to Extreme and 8x max gain
Viper Bass (Natural, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB), 17 dB for parties
Viper Clarity (Natural, 3.5 dB)
I don't use equalizers or if I do, they are song-specific. I also don't USB/Dock, so I can't recommend anything there.
Of course these settings can vary depending on the song, so choose those, which you like the most and don't stick with just those I chose, try all the functions to see which you prefer.
17. AdAway (Root)
AdAway is a great open-source root ad blocker, which can automatically download and update sources and works by adding those to the hosts file. It work well on the internet, but also inside apps (most of the time).
Check out the official AdAway website. You can also download it from F-Droid.
Adaway v3.2 (60) (direct download link)
Adding custom host sources:
Go to "Host sources" and add your own sources or check out these: AdAway's host sources
Be careful when adding all of them, since some can block legitimate links like goo.gl.
AdAway also offers an option to scan for Adware, which can be found under "Scan for adware". This will bring up a new window, press "Start scanning". If you don't need/want the mentioned apps you can uninstall them, but AdAway can't block their ads.
You can also check out my recommended settings:
wow,really appreciated that sir., it is very helpful specially for those who wanted to try, flashing rom or any mods on their device like me. thanks and keep up the good work sir God bless!
i think i can add up little bit here.
1) u r on miui & u want to flash nitrogen so u go to recovery and backup ur current rom in case if u dont like nitrogen u can restore back to miui with all ur setting & app. now assume u r on nitrogen, after 4-5 days u dont like nitroge & u decided to come back to miui, so u go to recovery and restore yr backup that u have taken earlier. after success booting the screen with pin or password will appear. so u would enter/guess any previous password, pin u used earlier but it will not open. here the real problem come. i have also faced same issue & got upset searching endless solution on google . u will get mad on u. security bypass will also not work. after spending endless hour i come with solution. download aroma zip search on net. flash it through recovery this will help u to get in system its ike file manager. then head to data, system and delete all file u see below
locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal, gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key
and then restart, yr problem would be solve.
2) nitrogen os does not support video calling via jio. none custom rom other then then miui support.
3)xposed is not available for oreo.
4)i have used nitrogen oreo for about 2 weeks it is stable but not as miui. some time r net would not work, jio call drop, lagging u have to restart on every time u faced problem. i suggest that wait for some time to roll out nought port for kenzo with zero bug & this will happen soon.

Sim card detection issue
Sometimes nitrogen os Oreo does not detect sim cards after reboot so I changed ROM and installed aosp extended. I know that Xyyx has already mentioned this as bug. Due to this bug it is not daily driver. Hope xyyx will fix this as soon as possible. If you have solution, please share it.

Dude, it's really not a big problem, it detects it like 95% of the time. Just reboot and you're done. Or wait about 2 min and it should detect it. You could also just remove the sim and reinsert it. But since the latest few updates for me it gets detected 100% of the time. So update to 28/10/2017 build and you should be fine.
@JustMeErazem You're giving flase info. to others saying that VoLTE works on both sim. Actually, it works only on first sim. Tried, tested on 3 different Kenzo's. Clean flashed.
Conclusion: VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd sim.
Hello everybody:
GSI ROMS finally have Fingerprint on display (fod) support, so I decided to try it today.
It was quite difficult to make everything work, since there are a lot of guides in X2 Pro forum and XDA, so I decided to create this thread to make things easier to other users that want to use GSI ROMS.
My device is a Realme X2 Pro Chinese, but this should work on any X2 Pro.
The guides I used as references are these ones:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-aosp-android-10-gsi-realme-t4036825
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-havoc-evolution-gsi-t4040607
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-aosp-android-10-gsi-realme-t4036825
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-discussion/guide-fix-bluetooth-audio-a2dp-aptx-gsi-t3950938
And probably other ones I found at internet that I can't remember at this point
1. Pre-requisites
- Unlocked bootloader
- TWRP Installed (I use Orange Fox)
- Color OS Firmware A08+ or A13+ (chinese)
Don't do it being on Realme UI, there are some features that won't work with the new firmware/vendor, FP included (Ironically, bluetooth gets fixed).
- Any software that can uncompress .xz files (most of GSI comes in this format)
2. Choosing your ROM
The first step is to find any rom that you like, it must has these features:
- It has to be based on phh's AOSP v214 or newer.
- It must be A/B ARM64.
You can look for one here:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-%28GSI%29-list
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would suggest to pick phh's AOSP ROM or LOSQ Project which is really close to phh's source.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
https://github.com/eremitein/treble-patches/wiki/LOSQ-Project
Bugs as of March 03, 2020
At this time, every phh's based rom has the following bugs:
- In-call bluetooth
- Bluetooth media playback (can be solved)
- Auto brightness
- Securize (I tried to use it but never done anything)
And there may be more bugs included on the rom you're using (lineage, havoc, evo, losq, posp, etc)
3. GApps (Optional)
Note: many roms has 2 variants, one with GApps included and one vanilla, depending on the one you choose, you'll have to do this step.
If you need Google Services and the ROM you downloaded does not include them, you need to pick a Gapps package.
Personally, I like BitGapps, but you can choose any you like as long as they are made for ARM64 Android 10.
BitGApps
FlameGApps
OpenGApps
4. Bluetooth fix
Before flashing the ROM, you have to delete the file BluetoothResCommon.apk from your vendor. You may want make a copy of it.
For this, you can do this action in the following ways:
- using a file explorer
Search in the root (/) the path /vendor/overlay
Search the file BluetoothResCommon.apk
Make a backup of the file
Delete the file
- adb and root
Connect your phone to your PC and run these commands from terminal or cmd:
adb pull /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
adb shell
su
rm /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
- adb and twrp
Enter in recovery mode
Mount vendor partition
Connect your phone to your PC and run these commands from terminal or cmd:
adb pull /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
adb shell
rm /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
This section is based from this guide. Only the first step is needed, X2 Pro build.prop has already some working configurations.
5. Flashing ROM and Gapps
- Download the ROM file (if you haven't)
- If ROM it's compressed (xz), then uncompress the file and copy the rom_name.img file to your phone
- Copy GApps to your phone (optional)
- Enter in TWRP
- Choose the file rom_name.img
- Flash it as "System image"
- If you're flashing GApps, follow this steps:
- Go to Partitions
- Select system
- Resize partition
- Flash GApps package
If this steps shows you errors, you can reboot to recovery and try again- Format data
- Reboot system
Note: according to many guides and people, certain roms like havoc won't boot if you don't set your selinux to permissive.
I tried havoc some weeks ago and I didn't needed to do that, but in case the rom you picked doesn't boot, flash Permissiver_v5 from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-havoc-evolution-gsi-t4040607
6. Magisk
As of March 15, 2020, phh's Magisk works, yes, but it has the following issues:
- App installation becomes slower
- Internal storage becomes read and append only, you can't modify files or delete them.
For those reasons I do not recommend to install it at this moment. Whenever it gets fixed, I'll update the guide with the proper links.
7. First steps in your new ROM (including 90hz)
Now that your rom has booted (I think), there are some basic configs that you may want to do:
- Get LTE working:
In my case, by default the ROM were locked on WCDMA, which is 3G+ in my operator, follow this steps to change it
- Go to Settings
- Open Network & internet
- Select Mobile network
- Look for Preferred network type
- Choose the one that works better for you. I selected global.
- Enable device features:
By default, some of our device features come disabled, lets change it
- Go to Settings
- Open Phh Treble Settings
- Open Oppo features
- Select Enable DT2W
- Select Enable Game Mode
- Select Enable USB OTG- Open Misc features
- Select Expose Aux cameras
- Select Force Enable Camera2API HAL
- Enable 90HZ!
And finally, for enabling 90HZ:
- Go to Settings
- Open Phh Treble Settings
- Open Misc features
- Select Force FPS
- Choose 90.0 (or 60.0 if you don't want it)
- Nice
8. Google Camera (GCam)
Get a funcional GCam was really hard, I tried several versions like Urnyx, Tiger, BSG and Arnova. They didn't work, whenever I made a picture or video the app closed, even loading the config.xml
After a lot of effort, I found one that is working pretty well, including features like night mode! It's a very specific version, GCam_5beta6.200105.0445build-7.2.018.apk others didn't work
Just download and install it:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog955/
Note: You probably will need to download Google Photos app, I already use it, so it worked from the first run.
9. Viper4Android (V4A)
And last but not least, for people that uses V4A, these are the steps to making it work without Magisk.
1. You will have to set your selinux to permissive, if you haven't, flash Permissiver_v5
2. Go to this site https://zackptg5.com/android.php#viper and download Rootless Driver Installer
3. Flash the file
4. Reboot and install Viper4Android 2.7.0.1 or newer
5. Profit!
There are some screenshots at the attachments
Many thanks to all the devs, contributors and XDA Users that made possible to have AOSP GSI in X2 Pro, some of them:
@phhusson @natedogg20050 @ospeto @SrCDA @Jerry08 @mauronofrio
Auto brightness and aptx hd also not working out of the box . But aptx hd can be enable with a magisk module. Thanks for this guide.
is volte working?
@EdgardoSchiffer Good stuff, did you use a specific config for the Gcam?
Also you could add Youtube Vanced to your guide I've found that the non-root works best https://vanced.app/

You can get root with Magisk, but you will have the bugs I wrote on thread. I don't know if there is any other root method
I just use latest magisk from official website and have no bugs like you mentioned. I am on phh latest gsi.

There is a root, but system files cannot be changed or deleted, check for yourself through the file manager
Ah yes, it become read only file system. But magisk modules working OK right? We can use twrp for deleting or modifying system file.
This is cool, though LOSQ tends to freeze and reboot from time to time. It's happened to me 4-6 times since yesterday.

Don't forget that all those ROMs that we can use on our phones are because of one guy and he just added fingerprint reading on Realme phones a few days ago, so go and Sponsor him on Github!
https://github.com/sponsors/phhusson
I just did and for a year Github matches the donation:
To supercharge community funding, GitHub created the GitHub Sponsors Matching Fund, which matches up to $5000 USD total per sponsored developer in their first year, or 12 months, of sponsorship.

Wonderful suggestion, just did the same
Great work guys!!!
ist it possible to fix the Bluetooh Audio issue (Headphones are connected, but music is played with the speakers of the phone) after installation of the ROM?
Furthermore, left swipe does not show the Google Discover feed and 'o.k. Google' doesn't respond to my voice.

Read the guide, mount Vendor in TWRP or OrangeFox and you'll be able to find it in the file manager in the recovery.
Can't help with the last part though.
Thanks, that works
Anyone else, who has an idea why 'O.K. Google' isn't working? It's not possible to set it up in the Google App.
For me, Bluetooth for media audio didn't work. I've remove Bluetoothres.apk before flashing. How to do? Flash last version 215, is it value to do?
Many thanks for the great effort, OP.
I haven't had any luck in installing any GSI on my Gloabl X2 Pro and I have been trying for a week now. I noticed every thread has different method, which got me very confused. I would like to thank you for stating the system Pre-requisites, not many HOW-TO guides state the firmware requirement.
Before i ask my question, i didn't have any luck with your method either. The question is, in the reference links you provided, they talk about vbmeta and pushing fstab.qcom, but you didn't mention anything about them in the steps. Am i missing something?
i just want to install a GSI, i don't care about any fix. I just want a GSI to boot because after SUCCESSFULLY installing the image then wiping data, i get into a bootloop. So my priority is just getting a GSI to boot.
I am on RMX1931EX_11_A.10
I appreciate anyone's input into solving my issue
