Raise to wake - Custom ROM - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

I've noticed that the RN7 'raise to wake' option is absent on almost any custom rom I've tested yet.
Are there any that support it or is there a way to get it back (without external apps)?

Even if it is present in some custom ROMs (I can't remember which ones exactly) it turns on the screen about 1.5 seconds after lifting the phone. So it's not instant like it is in MIUI. This feature is the sole reason I sometimes consider switching back to MIUI, but as soon as I remember what a mess MIUI notifications are, I decide to stay on AOSP.

I'm also running Pixel Experience on the Redmi Note 7, and at first I thought I'd miss the raise-to-wake feature from MIUI. However, when I saw how often my index finger would accidentally touch the fingerprint reader and unlock my phone as I picked it up, I realized that raise-to-wake is nice but unnecessary. Simply put, with a properly functioning rear-mounted fingerprint reader, you don't need raise-to-wake.

Soft navigation buttons "One button Nav" in custom ROMs

I like the Moto G5p feature "One button Nav". Is this still available on custom roms ? .
Clarification of what I am referring to - it replaces the Back:Home:Menu (triangle:circle:square)soft buttons with swipe gestures on the finger print sensor.
I would like to know that too. As far as I know, it's not available in any other custom roms.
It is available on every (or almost every) custom rom.

Can confirm in nearly every ROM. Usually in the settings application under either gestures or buttons.

I have my Moto G5+ for around 3 days, today I'm getting stable with Ressurection Remix, Magisk working well, Android Pay also, and your features are there too. I just can't figure how to make 1080p 60fps recording, but everything else is flying. cheers

MIUI 9 Pro with Oneplus 5T/Iphone X gesture Feature for Oneplus 3/3T!!!!

Amazing rom overall, been using previous build for weeks. Video saving is the only minor issue so far.

After wiping stuff, UNMOUNT SYSTEM, then flash.
Languages included in the ROM?
Thank you OP.
Can you (or anyone else who is currently using this version) confirm if Double Tap To Wake is working?? I remember liking the previous versions of this miui but had to remove it as soon as found out DT2W is not working -- that is a showstopper for me. Also, on the video you just posted the reviewer explicitly states that there are GPS issues with the OP3T specifically, can anyone comment on this??

GPS works as intended, double tap to wake doesn't.
Back on this after trying out some new 8.1 builds. Still rom to beat.
I hope @akino553 credited properly for his work on this.

Thanks for the tip! Video saving works with this app, confirmed.
Some MIUI and ROM features aka reasons to try this rom:
GApps included.
VOLTE works.
No major bugs, daily driver.
It's Nougat but rom is smooth and fast!
Fingerprint is fast! Better that most 8.1 roms.
Slick interface, coming from very blunt stock android and OOS roms.
Great theme engine. All black theme present.
Great selection of wallpapers online.
Native call recording.
Latest GCam works.
Native screenshot scroll for extended screenshots.
Mi Account and Mi could - great native way to back up and restore your contact, messages, notes, apps. (just create free MI account)
Some minor issues:
- double tap to wake doesn't work.
- video saving issue (temporarily fixed by using footej camera from play store)
At initial boot and setup phone gets pretty hot but give it 20 mins and it's gonna be like any other rom.
Using magisk 15.2 as per developer recommendation, all good here, root gets remembered by apps.
Sometime laggy...but best miui rom
Anybody tried on op3t?
I heard in the video that the GPS services wasn't working on the 3t. If anyone has flashed this on 3t can you confirm that and also how's the battery life ? Another thing is does g cam work completely with portrait mode on both sides?

OP3T user here. Video recording DOES NOT work with the built-in camera apps. I've not tried 3rd party apps yet.
The GPS works fine,no issues faced yet.
I've been consistently getting 7+ hours of SOT. Pretty stable ROM.

OnePlus gestures in custom rom?

Hey guys, so I've had this 6t since launch, and haven't changed my rom yet for a couple reasons. First the finger print scanner is important to me, but also because I really like OnePlus' gestures in OOS! So my question is this:
Is it possible to get the OnePlus gestures working in a custom rom? Is it kernel based and if so, do any custom kernels here on XDA support it? Is it rom sided? Thanks guys!
The fingerprint issue will come in time I'm sure, but the OnePlus gestures are a must for me, I'm spoiled with them lol
Up the thread, I searched for something for the gestures but nothing works like stock, do you know any way to get them to work?
Thanks!

You need to have the OP launcher APK in the ROM (not necessarily as your main launcher) but it handles some of the gestures in the background.
Finger prints work on some recent roms. As of myself I check youtube reviews of roms before trying it. May be there is some rom which has what you're looking for.
I've been using ViperOS. It is pretty good. It has both working fp and navigation gestures (If that's what you're looking for). Not as impressive as OOS though. You can give it a try.
Most of the custom ROMs already include the OOS off-screen gestures. For example Havoc and OMNI-Rom. It works quite good, not that perfect as in original ROM but good to go.
For custom ROMs I recommend fluid navigation gestures. They are almost as snappy as stock and fully customizable. Root required.
what about support for oxygen cam in custom roms ?
If you use Magisk you can install Oxyfy.
Most tons for the last year have had fingerprint scanner working. And also include oos navigation and screen off gestures. Not 100% the same but my experience with them had been they worked just fine. Screen off gestures annually worked better for me in custom that oos.

Miui : notifications problems. How to solve this ?

Hi,
Since i've bought this device, i'm happy with it regarding the price and the overall quality. But one thing is bothering me each day a little more : the notifications. One day i receive them all, no problem, next day i'm not informed for a new snap, next day with whatsapp, receiving Gmail notif 1h later after receiving the mail... Very annoying !!
I've tried stock Miui, EU china and EEA global... can't see any improvement, still not regular... I love Miui full gestures and still want it, custom roms have problem with gcam and whatsapp video call, i use both of them each day... i've seen custom miui rom but all in russian... not that much info... is it really safe to use them ? I'm a hard user of google products, from phone to youtube, maps, gmail, agenda, drive...
Is debloating with Saki tool a way to solve those problems ? any others ideas guys ?
I've heard about this issue so much. It seems to be a problem with MIUI and I've not seen a fix for it. I can recommend custom roms where the Gcam/Whatsapp video issue is reportedly fixed though. Pixel Experience (non-CAF version) and Lineage OS (by letsmakecakes) reported that they have fixed these issues. You can try them as I've read they have good battery life too (reportedly better than MIUI). I'm currently on Syberia and waiting for these fixes to be ported to other roms too, which i think will happen soon.
One advice if you switch to Custom roms; don't flash custom kernels. Stick with the one provided in the rom. I've had huge battery drains with evira 3.8 and 4.1.
Yes, i've just seen that the PE rom seems to have both working now !! i think i'm gonna try it or another solid rom (love AEX !!) as soon as it's confirmed it works. For the full nav gestures, any advice ? it's the thing which make me stick to Miui too : a REAL full screen with perfect getures within have to move my hand to the bottom of the phone each 15 sec

The edge gestures implemented in rom in my experience are a bit laggy but you can always use an app like ubikitouch or fluid navigation gesture to solve the problem

I've tried a few roms (AOSPX, Havoc, LOS, Bootleggers, Descendant, crDroid and now Syberia) and almost -if not- all of them had fullscreen navigation options built in. Personally, I am using "Navigation Gestures - Swipe Gesture Controls!" by XDA on play store. I paid for the app but it's cheap and works increadibly reliable. Even the free version should have more customizations than MIUI. (Don't use hide navbar option in the app, disable nav bar in the ROM settings)

I sure hope so. The fixes should be open and shared among the xda developers. I'm sure every maintainer would like to implement this fix on their next update.

Google Smart Lock

Hey,
I'm on v11.0.1.0.PFJMIXM but can't find the Smart Lock features, especially the Trusted Places one. Is this removed from stock roms? Is there any way to install this feature? Which custom rom has this?
Thanks

I could not get it to work and looks like in all MIUI roms it's crippled. There is a Bluetooth unlock in lockscreen menu but it's only available with whitelisted Xiaomi gear it seams. Kinda confirmed on other MIUI forums basically they replaced it with their version and only for their devices. The prompt shows only the first time you pair a new device and you can add it but it does nothing and no way to get back in. I tried to trigger all activities from google service framework but could not get back in, only with new BT device will and i ran out of devices to try. No location trigger works

Ok, installed, granted root access, defined my home as trusted place
Locked the screen - it still asks me for pin, cannot unlock without
(I know how to use it, it works perfectly for me on Huawei Mate 9 but here cannot get it to skip entering my pin when I am at home and want to unlock the screen)
QFJEUXM 11.0.5
What else to set up or how to make it working?
Do you really have Xiaomi Mi 9T with stock ROM (and which) and did you really make Smart (un)lock to work for your (home) place, and how?

Unfortunately, true. I was surprised when
@Tizio.Qualunque claimed a 'solution'?!
I've seen many threads for Mi 9T and other Xiaomi phones but never seen anybody claiming that he/she set it up to to really unlock without a pin (or how to do it).
Btw, before I installed this Smart Lock app as he suggested, I got pop-ups by Google Smart lock several time, asking me if I want to set up my (home) location for smart (un)locking (now, during Corona I'm almost all the time at home and unlock the phone by pin tens of time during the day, because unfortunately FOD is very unreliable). So I always confirmed that I want, but still it never worked for unlocking
I can only hope that Xiaomi maybe fix it for MIUI 12, but frankly I don't believe.
BIG MINUS for MIUI and Xiaomi phones

Yes. A huge minus.
Use face unlock. Use Mi band or some kind of Mi watch (bluetooth unlock is limited to only one device... ). It's stuipid - I know. But this is only think you may do if you want your phone to be unloceked when you are near.
Eventually you may try Tasker.
I've been dealing with this since miui 6.
As others have said, MIUI has removed all access to smart lock. The only reason you get the notification is because it's served by Google Play services. They can't touch it.
Even if you access the menu by root, it still won't work because MIUI uses its own lock screen, not the stock lockscreen.
They keep kneecapping the Android features, and later introduce them as "new". The only people who actually like MIUI are people who've never used stock Android
More examples from my experience in MIUI 6 :
1. They didn't have face unlock or bluetooth unlock. But Android had it since the previous 2 versions. They added it in the next MIUI as a flagship feature. And it's still bad. It unlocked for my brother's face.
2. Split screen. One generation late.
3. Picture in picture mode. Dunno if it's available even now

As a user come from nexus and Xperia (like pure android with sony exclusive options) devices, miui only have eye catching ui and lots of bloat ware!
User experience (UX) is so bad. You can't find some options easy (for old and pro android user since 2010, i search in settings menu to find some features! How new android user can use miui i don't know!!!)
select widget so hard, no app drawer, lots of bugs, lags (frame drop) anywhere. MIUI good for peoples come from iOS to android. (Animation, Animation, Animation. Not smooth ux, not easy to use ROM)
I bye Xiaomi phone for good hardware and great price.
Don't forget we are in android. For any feature we can find a nice third-party app.
I flash Pixel Experience Plus...
If google not make ugly pixel, and sport it with high end hardware and good price (Nexus Phone!?) , i never bye any mi or galaxy phone! OnePlus can be an option for professional android user too, but not find easy in my country.

For the matter of fact, App Drawer is supported (since MIUI 11?), see screenshots
But lacking Smart Lock: On body detection, Trusted places and the fact that Smart detection does not work for general Bluetooth devices (but only maybe for Xiaomi gadgets) is a big issue

Not fixed in MIUI 12 / Android 10.
Makes it impossible to do hands-free calling in the car., since you can't make calls anymore with the screen locked.
Only ways I can see around it is:
1. Keep your phone unlocked,
2. Have face unlock set and place your phone where it can "see you" at all times.
3. Get a cheap Mi band or some other MI product, add it as a trusted device, and keep it charged in your car.
This is utter nonsense from Xiaomi.
With MIUI 12, Android 10 and by using Root Smart Lock app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rachel030219.smartlocklauncher
I can setup my trusted place and it remembers, but still it doesn't keep the phone unlocked at my home (I must use the fingerprint or pin)
I was thinking if some permissions are missing
I tried it on MI11 with MIUI 12.5 and with the app mentioned, but still not working :-(
