Messaging not working after flashing custom roms - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

After successfully flashing both the latest Pixel Experience and Evolution X roms I was unable to use the messaging app, making my phone unusable (especially in regard to any form of SMS verification). I tried using a 3rd party app (Textra) but the problem persisted. I am coming from the global rom with android 9 but flashed the Chinese firmware required prior to the custom roms. When setting up the phone I would also get pop up error messages every 1-2 seconds (android.process.media and android.process.acore stopped working) though I am not 100% certain that these two are linked in the messaging issue. When reverting back to stock, it fixed itself. There appears to be no other documented instances that I could. If anyone has some insight on the matter, it would be very much appreciated if you could share it with me

You have issue with Google apps - did you dirty flashed roms?
Make a clean install with proper gapps and stick to ROM instructions

Fonts reset after some time, Apps take too long to install

I'm on Exodus ROM, 1707 build.
Lightning SBTC kernel.
Pico CyanogenMod gapps.
My issue is that apps download normally but some (most of them) take way too longer than normal to install.
I tried Installing apps from apks and the same issue arises.
I reflashed the to, went back to kk and upgraded. Then flashed this ROM again. But no luck
Also After flashing CMOS 12 apps, I had 2 theme store. I had to remove one (the one without cyanogen logo).
But the issue is that after I apply a theme, the messenger, whatsapp and some other apps' fonts reset to default after sometime.
Please help to solve these issues!
About your issue of slow install, that has been quite the normal case with Lollipop in general, if you feel that apps are being installed at a slower rate then try some other ROM if same continues with other ROM then you'd have found that it's not the ROM's fault else its got something to do with the ROM, post a query to the OP of that ROM's thread.
There maybe some conflict in the theme manager due to you flashing COS12 apps. I'd recommend that you flash the ROM again and see if this issue persists without you flashing COS12 apps.

Specific apps missing after reboot (BasicPlus 2)

Hi,
I use BasicPlus 2 rom by t-shock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-basicplus-1-t3402601).
When I reboot my device, specific apps are complety missing and I have to restore them with TB to go on.
This is reproducible with these certain apps, for example Swiftkey, Es Explorer and Google Calendar.
I had this issue before and I fixed it by deleting the 'Android' folder on my external microsd (128GB Samsung Evo Plus), since the missing apps always create an empty folder there. Now this seems not to be working anymore, therefore I'm asking for a permanent solution in this thread.
Unfortunatelly I'm not able to post in the rom's thread since my account is locked for the development section, but I hope I will get some help here.
Thanks!
Did you dirty flash?
If you did, I highly recommend clean wiping after every update to a custom ROM.

Yes I dirty flashed from 1.1.1 to 2.0, since this was supported by the developer and he provided a fix to have a stable rom.
I also tried a clean install, but for any reason battery life wasn't that good compared to the dirty flash from 1.1.1.
It seems that no one else has such an issue, that would mean no one else did a dirty flash from 1.1.1, otherwise there would be more reports!?
In the meanwhile I made a clean install in each case of 2.0 and 2.1, but the issue still exists. I also wiped all caches after rom install, but there is no change. All apps survive several restarts but all of a sudden some apps disappeared after restart. I will try now with 3.1 and Prometheus kernel, too bad I cannot post to the main thread of the rom, since the developer doesn't see this thread I think

CM reboots when making or receiving calls :confused:

Hi guys, I had to give up using CM Roms since the phone reboots every time I try making a call or receive one, I understand there is some king of bug with the dialer framework included in the GAPPS package and that installing the Google Dialer from the play store should solve it but in my case i hasn't. This is what I've tried to no avail:
- Intalled Google DIaler from PlayStore/APK and set it default with all the permissions enabled.
- Installed Google Dialer apk as system app and set it default with all the permissions enabled.
- Installed the full GAPPS package.
- Removed the stock dialer and did all things above.
Hope someone can help me out here,
Thanks.
This happens when you have multiple phone dialer apps enabled. To use any other dialer than the included (when you flash Gapps Tiny or Micro which is recommended since the bigger packs replaces the CM app).
If you don't like the CM one, you should still flash a smaller Gapps and then disable CM dialer and download the one you want. If you already flashed a bigger Gapps, you should format system, cache and dalvik/arts partition and then reflash CM and then the smaller Gapps.
Should be enough to go settings, apps, click the gear weel (next to 3 dot menu), choose standard apps from this menu and determine your dailer as standard app..
This is a classical issue..

Hey pitrus, this issue actually started while only having CM dialer installed since I mainly flash pico gapps.
Will try it again since its been like a month since I gave up on it. Let you know later.

Guys I've had no luck, tried with a clean install of CM14 and still facing the same problem. Just today did a CM14.1 install and it is still present for me.
I guess that I could flash just CM and not gapps but I rely on Google services for a lot of stuff. Will keep trying though.
I'm having the exact same problem, random reboots during calls only, sometimes I don't even have time to answer. I'm running CM13 and only have one phone app, also set as default. When running stock and Cyanogen all was fine, this only started after flashing CM13.
Developemt for Cyanogen stopped that's why I switched, maybe coming from another rom is causing this? I did a full wipe when flashing and have updated to several nightlies and the problem remains. Maybe I'll try another rom and test it for a while.
Installed Dirty Unicorns a few days ago and the problem seemed to have been fixed, but yesterday it started acting out again. Is there a way to check if this problem is hardware related?
I'm now doing a factory reset and installing Oxigen hoping that'll fix this once and for all.
It's a problem related to Gapps

It is not a hardware problem, I don't have this issue when running Oxygen OS, it only happens to me when running any AOSP based rom with Gapps installed.
Flash Oxygen from here http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-2/ and it will fix it, it's not the same as running CM though.

Sounds like you flashed the full version of Gapps instead of the recommended Nano or Micro which does not replace the dialer app with Googles own, try the smaller Gapps and you should be ok.

I've installed them all with the same result, last time I was using Pico Gapps with Seraph's CM14 and it happened eandomly, sometimes I could make and receive calls normally but a most of the time it would reboot as soon as the phone started ringing.
Currently I've tried a lot of solutions so I'm not really sure of what's wrong.

I flashed the latest OOS and now things are only a little bit better, instead of reboots I get dropped calls and a "No available network" message. This seems to happen only when I'm on a 3G or 4G network, if I change to a 2G network I can make calls without problems. This is driving me crazy, I've tried almost everything and I can't see what I'm missing.

Its happening to me as well just as you describe it. It is very weird. In thinking of flashing the stock OOS 2.2.0 just to check whether it makes any diference.
Yesterday I restored my phone back to stock, but the problen remains.
This definitely has something to do with mobile data. If I disconnect mobile data I can make calls without any problem, when I'm connected to a wifi network too (I'm guessing because the phone has no need to use mobile data).
Some suggest that this might be related to VoLTE and operators not supporting it, but I can't find anyway to see if this is even exists or if its activated in OOS.
Later today I'll try Hydrogen and see what happens.
UPDATE: Flashing Hyrogen didn't solve the issue, calls keep dropping when mobile data is activated on LTE network.
UPDATE 2: Going back to OOS 2.2.1 didn't solve the problem either.
Kinda solved now

It seems I have solved my problem with the reboots and I think might help with your droped calls as well.
Firstly I flashed this OOS 3 firmware https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540821656, it comes with a hybrid TWRP, after that flashed the official CM14.1 and pico Open Gapps.
I think the firmware file did the trick or maybe it was the recovery since I haven't had a reboot in the past 2 days when receiving calls or making them.
Hope it helps
It's been a few days since I tried the last solution and so far my problem seems to be solved.
What worked for me was flashing the latest modem from H2OS 2.5 which also is supposed to enable VoLTE, but I can't confirm this since my carrier does not support VoLTE yet. To do this I first flashed CM 14.1 and then the modem, it worked fine since the first boot. Since my battery life wasn't the best in Nougat I went back to CM13 and the phone is still working fine.

OnePlus 5 Slowy, Lags..

Hi, I'm here to ask for your help because I don't know what to do.
Since the update to xXx 9.6 no limits my Oneplus 5 runs in slow motion, the applications take a lot of time to open it is unusable. Even the startup animation is slow.
I've already reformatted everything, flash with unbrick tool but it's the same.
I have the impression that only when I format in F2FS it works normally but I can't find a compatible Rom. Thank for your help.

That's weird do you have any heavy syncing apps ?? When did you start noticing the problem ? immediately after 9.6xxx update or after installing a certain app ? Have you tried changing the kernels ? Try decrypting and then Omni since it's a stable 8.1 rom

You formatted the data (which wipes everything on your device ) or just wiped the partitions? If you completely formatted and are experiencing the exact same issue on LOS and xXx there are several possibilities -- 1) You have a hardware issue; 2) You are using corrupt or mismatched firmware; 3) A third party app is causing the issue. The last one is very easy to check--just boot your OP5 into Safe Mode and see if the issue persists. If you encountered the issue on stock OOS and did a clean install after formatting your data then it shouldn't be a firmware issue.
It's very important that you completely format all the data on your phone--not wipe the partitions or format them individually because you need a fresh start in case it's just an issue with corrupted data. My guess based on everything you wrote is that you have a hardware problem and need to have your phone serviced.

Need help getting LineageOS to be stable (15.1 UNOFFICIAL, hltevzw, TWRP 3.3.0)

I have an SM-N900V (Note 3, Verizon variant, hltevzw).
Detailed timeline:
- I flashed it back to firmware OB6 using Odin 3.09.
- I rooted it using ArabicToolApp.
- I used this tool to unlock the bootloader
- I installed a build of LineageOS 14.1 for hlte
- It didn't recognize the SIM so I did a dirty flash of this build of LineageOS 15.1 for hltetmo on top (hltetmo actually has different hardware than hlte, and the correct one for SM-N900V)
- Messed around with the APNs until it recognized and connected to Verizon's network. I DO have functioning SMS and LTE data, but I have not tested phone calls yet
- Messed around some with SuperSU in system- and systemless-mode. Bricked my device more times than I could count, then unbricked over and over using SuperSU's impeccable installer. Messed around with this quite a bit
- Also messed around with Xposed some. The OS is too unstable to run Xposed Installer correctly, so I uninstalled it
- Removed SuperSU, installed Magisk. Phone now passes SafetyNet
So, my phone now runs 8.1 and a Lineage build from 9 days ago. Cool. But, if I was satisfied I wouldn't be making this post. There are multiple instances of the same kind of "app freeze" - App screen freezes, sometimes it'll go completely black. Interactivity doesn't work, obviously, the app is completely frozen. Hold Back to kill doesn't work (Application Killed toast shows, but nothing happens). ANR (when it comes up) Close doesn't work. Home button works and brings me away from the app, but it's still there. Swipe away in Overview doesn't actually kill the app. Even in App Info, Force Stop doesn't work. The app is forever frozen. Tapping the icon from the launcher no longer does anything, it doesn't even bring up the app. The app is permanently crashed and inaccessible until a reboot.
Issues:
- Sometimes when booting the phone will not recognize the SIM until a reboot. As in, "No SIM" message and everything
- Sometimes it will get stuck at boot, I have foxy-boot installed, so I can see the logs. I don't remember what it was all about, if it comes up again I'll update the post
- Google Chrome sometimes crashes when trying to download a file. I've gotten my phone to self-host before, but this issue always seems to come back, and when it does Google Chrome ALWAYS crashes when trying to download a file. App Freeze
- Netflix installs and logs in but freezes at the "can't connect to service (-9)" message. App Freeze
- Certain apps like NativeScript Playground get stuck at the splash screen. App Freeze
- Xposed Installer did this when opening the Settings, whether Xposed was installed or not. App Freeze
- F-Droid also sometimes crashes, although it's somewhat arbitrary, I can't reproduce it reliably. App Freeze
I have tried reflashing the ROM, flashing Xposed uninstaller, reinstalling Magisk, none of it seems to work. I have TWRP 3.3.0 so I can do pretty much anything that doesn't involve the SD card (the SD card is probably broken in hardware, it's so read-only that Android and TWRP both can't write to it at all, but they can both read the same half-broken filesystem).
I fear that this OS is just too unstable for the phone and there's nothing I can do. I sincerely hope this is not the case.
Try other ROMs or perform a clean installation.
Make sure you are on PL1 bootloader/modem.
Currently using Resurrection Remix v5.8.5 Nougat because it was the last Android version for this device with working Bluetooth calls but if you don't use that feature you could use their Pie version as well.
RR ROMs are solid and work extremely well.
Do a clean installation via TWRP if you go this route.

I did a clean installation of RR 6.0.0 (Android 8.1) and it works a lot better than LineageOS did, with even more configuration options. I really really hate Pie and its gesture-based gimmicks (Screw you Google for copying more of Apple's bad design decisions), so I assumed Oreo would be more stable, but the ROM I installed still has crashing apps. Google Chrome still won't download most things (I've gotten it to download before), trying to change the accent color crashes the 'LineageOS Settings' app, and F-Droid is seriously messed up, but most other things are stable, including the Verizon network which required no pesky APN setup.
I'm on the OB6 bootloader/modem, is that a problem? I doubt that would be an issue, but I can always back up and reflash via Odin. The cool thing is that I installed a patch to TWRP which backs up /data/media along with everything else, after installing the custom ROM. So, really, I can do anything and be perfectly fine. There's, AFAIK, no way to ruin the phone unless something exploits the eMMC brick bug.
If there's another ROM you'd recommend me install, I'd be happy to try it out. I would really like to have a stable OS on here, where Chrome will work and download files. I'd also love Camera2 API since the phone has the chip for it (Snapdragon 800), but none of the ROMs I have support it and there's been no discussion online other than some years-old threads with no answers. I know there have been some articles online listing Note 3 as a phone that'd support Camera2 API with a software update. Would updating the bootloader/modem do anything on that front?
I would upgrade to PL1 bootloader/modem for your device. This is what I have and have had 0 issues. I'd recommend you trying the Samsung Internet browser over Google Chrome; it's much better in my opinion.
You can find the modem here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=160694
As far as ROMs are concerned you can either try the Nougat version of RR which is what I am currently using as my daily driver with no issues at all including Bluetooth calls:

Excuse me but custom ROMs don't have "the Samsung Internet browser". Additionally the modem shouldn't cause app crashes (if it does, correct me please).
I might try the Nougat ROM. Bluetooth calls don't matter to me, but stability does. I just kinda really like Oreo and all its customization options but it may be too new for this old phone from 2013. It still works as a phone though, Messages and phone calls work fine, so I may just deal with it.
I use Open Camera, and I've tried multiple Camera2 API enablers. The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and the necessary links (in hardware, between the camera/other things) to support Camera2, but nobody seems to have tried it. Probably because the Verizon Note 3 is really locked down, and can only be rooted on a special version of the samsung ROM, and can only be bootloader-unlocked via the eMMC brick bug... There are Magisk modules for Camera2 on Exynos-based devices, but none for the Verizon Note 3 AFAIK.
I just found out that RR 7 officially supports `hltetmo`, but RR 6 doesn't. That's kinda sad, I hate Pie, but I might try it...
I've had the SEPL stuff before, that's the one that can't be rooted. I suppose I didn't consider upgrading again after I unlocked my bootloader. I'll try SEPL1 firmware again, but with a custom ROM...
You can install the Samsung browser from the Play Store. Again, highly recommended.
As far as SEPL1 just update the modem to it; that shouldn't cause any issues but it will ensure your SIM is recognized and data works with the latest ROMs. That is one requirement you will see listed on all of these ROMs.
Not sure which one you are trying to install but here are all the Resurrection Remix versions:
Nougat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-3-vanilla-t3615227
Oreo:

Pie:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v7-0-0-t3894244
If you don't care about Bluetooth audio during calls then you can safely use Oreo and Pie options.

Yeah but, data and calling worked fine on the LineageOS and RR roms, so there's no reason to update the modem.
Besides, I flashed SEPL1 6 times using Odin (multiple times by flashing, rebooting directly into download mode and flashing it once more) and it doesn't want to update. Still on OB6. On the latest (official Pie) RR rom, data worked on first boot but doesn't work anymore (I'm going to mess around with the data settings until it works), but I have no reason to believe that my phone needs a modem update to function.
I did, many times, make calls to various phone numbers and they all worked flawlessly. SEPL1 is therefore not needed if that's all it does.
And I do know about all the Resurrection Remix versions: One is Nougat from their archive, one is the Oreo version I had installed just yesterday before flashing Pie, and the other one is Pie which is now officially supported.
I am currently working on getting RR7 to work, it's only crashed a few times, and I don't even remember what those times were (I think it was using the Back button in Overview/Recents at the same time as the Overview button?)
When updating modem via Odin you have to pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot. If you look at the ROM threads for anything newer than Android v5 they all recommend updating to the latest bootloader & modem for your device which in this case is PL1. This can be to prevent crashes/no signal /no SIM, etc...
Are you dirty flashing these ROMs? I have never experienced any crashes with any of the RRs on my phone but I always do a clean install and make sure to also delete the "Android" folder on my SD Card via TWRP after doing the "Advanced" wipe and deleting everything listed there except for the External SD Card.

"pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot"
So...
- Reboot phone into Download mode
- Pull battery while in Download mode
- Flash thingy
- Reboot back into Download mode
- Flash thingy again
? That will be very difficult to do with my dodgy charging cable that doesn't like being repositioned...
I do that without pulling the battery, but I could try it with.
I'm downloading the full SEPL stock image to flash. Once that's done, I'll flash it, reflash TWRP, restore my backup, and see if the baseband has updated.
And no, never dirty flashed the ROM. Always completely wiped data, system, cache and everything. I always backup first. I currently have 3 backups: Lineage OS (before installing RR), RR6 (Oreo), and RR7 (right now before that stock image I'm going to flash).
My external SD card is nonfunctional and read-only with some trash files from the previous phone.
I flashed the stock SEPL ROM. Baseband still didn't change. Restored from backup, SIM now works. Network is detected, SMS and data both work reliably on all reboots.
I will mention that I did brick my phone by using Odin to erase the eMMC, but I fixed that from TWRP, and now everything works flawlessly. There are still some app crashes, but most things are very stable. Camera2 API still nonexistent, which is sad because I got used to it on my old phone, but I shouldn't hope for it.
