hi i have the 8 core pumpkin and wanted to know if it can be rooted and the night brightness be adjusted from the 23 default minum down to 0 or least 1... its running the marshmellow 6 os
I have been switching between different ROMs in the past four months, I'm now a long time redmi 3 user since I have mine since it came out in 2015, even though is smashed a lot I have no plans for a new phone at this time LOL
Let's go to the point
Resurrection Remix 5.8.5
A nice ROM, everything works right after installing and is pretty smooth, in terms of customization this one has everything you can imagine and you can't too
what did I like
The posibilities of tweaking the status bar, plus it gives your phone a longer life span in terms of software, as it will get longer support.
Doze mode
What I did not like
UI Lagging/stuttering eventually, when using chrome and typing something in a webpage is such a nightmare (this happens always), as the text takes up to 5 seconds to appear
CPU Sleeping bugs sometimes, soemtimes it takes a longer time to wake the processor, causing an unbearable lag, is eventually fixed by locking and unlocking the screen again. and sometimes i have to force reboot
Bluetooth battery barely shows on random devices, and is not accurate
Lockscreen (I like AOSP a lot, but the lockscreen replacing your wallpaper when music is playing is just ridiculous)
Camera lacks some image quality
MIUI 8.1.1.0 by Xiaomi.eu
The ROM I probably will keep using for a really long time, has no rival in terms of smoothness, and offers longer battery time no matter what you use it for, and what is better, without letting you down on performance. Even is on Lollipop, this one keeps pleasing me
What I Like
Performance, the UI is smooth and launcher never lags
Battery life, I'm a heavy user and this by far lasts longer than any other, is obvious at this was specially designed for the chip it runs on
Integrated Clean Master/CM Security/Whatever it is
Themes, endless personalization out-of-the-box
specific Xposed Framework for MIUI (by @SolarWarez) newer versions have always conflicted with themes and modules
XMIUI by the same developer, no words needed, is the GravityBox for MIUI plus extra functionality
Lockscreen, I like the album art over the screen, not as background and the player as notification
Hidden CPU power mode selection (Use QuiclShortcutMaker to access it, removed on newer versions above 8.1.1.0)
What I did not like
I'm using a non OEM replacement display and very often I have to force-reboot (in RR it bugs but at least I can get to the reboot option and reboot safely)
Could be Marshmallow at least
Some weird bugs when using Magisk (I use system root as I don't give a damn about SafetyNet)
After dalvik cleaning some apps have a "rough start"
I remember having the best battery life (with the screen off) with RR-UNTEST, but eventually I gave up and budged myself back over to MIUI 9. There's honestly not much reason to use MIUI 8 outside of being able to use xMIUI, but if you're fine without what it brings then honestly the xiaomi.eu rom is pretty much the best one to go for. This phone is essentially good as dead now, unfortunately. If I remember correctly, Xiaomi have announced that it's not going to be receiving a major version upgrade (i.e. no MIUI 10) and because of it running on Lollipop, it's stuck on the January 2017 security patches. Custom ROM development has largely stopped completely, save for the build bots that are still chugging away (see: LineageOS 14, AOKP and Mokee) and a stable version of LOS 15 that doesn't haemorrhage battery extremely quickly hasn't come despite the long wait. There's no reason to not stick with standard MIUI 9 now and to be honest, soon as I've saved up enough, I'm going to be jumping ship to a different phone.
In my case, best for R3 is MIUI 9.5 from MIUI.eu. Great, great battery life and all work like a charm. There is no any single lag/bug on my phone.
Tried many custom roms, but always back to MIUI.eu.
I got little worm in my ass and want to try RR 5.8.5 with chtholly kernel and AOKP with same kernel and GovTuner...but I know that will be back to MIUI.eu
I saw the new Android 9.0 update has been released for a little while now. I have been confident in Google's software updates while owning this phone until they broke the multi-touch on 8.1 and did not provide a downgrade or alternative solution. I like to play Pubg a lot on my phone while on my bus rides around my city so performance, battery, multi-touch and the very small day to day things are very important to me.
I looked on the comments section of the Android update forum for 9.0 and it seems the only small reported bugs were related to the pixel launcher. I use Nova Launcher so I don't think this will be an issue. I wanted to hear back from pixel 2 users and see if any of the OLD features on the previous 8.x release were made unstable or broken in any way.
Also how's the camera and battery life? Those are the main selling points of the phone I believe (for me at least)..

Camera and battery are both fantastic.
I don't get the hatred by some here. It's a divided opinion for sure, though as with anything else the ones displeased make the most noise.
Long story short, I think it's an awesome upgrade and have not experienced any bugs.
Agree with crixley... there were some new things to learn, but once learned, I actually appreciate them quite a bit. Android 9 gestures are quicker and more natural, and the wasted space of recents has been reclaimed with helpful stuff like switch orientation. Battery life is better with the Adaptive Battery setting enabled, security has been upgraded. Although I understand that it "feels" like a big change for no reason... a lot of users are going to dislike change if the benefits are not easily apparent. I admit that there have been a few kinks I worked through.. such as having to re-pair bluetooth devices, resetup android auto, and a few other quirks.. but I am a happy Android P user in the end.
The Pie update on VZW broke Android Auto USB connection to my Pioneer AVH-2300NEX. No other issues to report, but it's enough for Verizon to send me a warranty replacement phone.
Yes, I did do all the necessary troubleshooting. Yes, it worked great up to the time of the OTA to Pie. Yes, I even tried different cables. Thanks for your concern lol.
Been running Android 9.0 since the developer previews never had any issues. Battery life is much better than before and camera works just as great as always. I also use Android Auto everyday and haven't had any issues with it that other have described. I used to run a custom roms and always used the the fling nav bar so I'm pretty used to swipe gestures and prefer them more than the standard nav bar.
Battery life has been much better than Oreo as long as you don't configure your phone's IP staticly versus using DHCP when connecting to a Wi-Fi connection. We've been able to replicate it with at least 4 users whom all use different router make and models. See this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/battery-life-considerably-worse-update-t3827066
No bugs here since update. Only been a few days though. Battery life is definitely better. Good update just need an unlocking route for Verizon and my life will be complete.
i very much miss the ability to mute/vibrate my ringer with hardware buttons. instead of being "smart" and adjusting ringer volume by default, media volume when using some kind of media, it now just adjusts media volume always, and requires extra work/screen touching to mute the ringer

That's my only complaint as well. But the update other than that is nice.
Edit I dislike that turning location to battery saving/gps / off moved to one switch on or off.
My battery life went from 8hr average SOT on Oreo to about 5.5hr average on Pie. I'm going back once I find the correct OTA update to flash (so I don't lose any data). Battery Saver has been on since Day 1.

I'm getting 8+ on pie. You need to go into location /Google location accuracy and turn that off. It's like GPS on constantly. There is no longer battery saving mode on Pie. I've had mine off from the beginning and all is well. 2 days off charger and 7-9 hours screen on time. Hope this helps

All of that was already off, but I'll go through the entire device today and see if there's something else I can find.
Is it just me or did the overall brightness decrease? I know the whole scaling is logarithmic now, but I'm talking about 100% brightness on Oreo vs. 100% brightness on Pie. Seems to never get as bright as it used to, even when maxed out.

You can press the power button and volume up button at the same time to switch to vibrate/mute. That's a nifty feature. ??
The new colors in the newest update to Contacts, Dialer, and Messages apps are hideous.
I'm ok with white background but the pastel colors are horrible.

I am glad I am not the one. The brightness has gone to dim at 75%.
Battery life is resolved, which was the main thing. I just wish the maximum brightness was fixed, along with a better (full dark) theme for us on AMOLED screens. Anything to get 3 Day usage is always appreciated. I'm at 2.5 Days now, so that's pretty nifty

After updating to Android 11 I noticed a problem
- even with 60Hz refresh rate chosen in options, I see 120Hz constantly switching on and off after few minutes of using a phone.
- restart, changing in options doesn't stick and problem comes back.
Any ideas how to solve it?
OOS 11 stable, no extra tweaks and kernels, no magisk and root

It does that to save battery, but if you've selected 60hz then it should stick.
Did you have no limits xXx installed at some point. It can force 120 no matter what.
Not sure otherwise.

Same as crdroid, also in Los I get safetynet fail.
Also I have a problem receiving SMS. No messages come to me. Sending is ok.
Ok setting messages on chat mode and sending and receiving is ok.

Battery dropped 4 % during the 6hours ,with all modules off.
Id say that battery life is pretty much the same as los 17.1. So far crdroid 11 has the best battery backup, almost 2 days of normal usage, with 6hr of sot. But crdroid has too low sound level during calls. Barely hear anything being outdoor.

I'm trying your rom since a few days.
Would You be kind or able to deactivate the "annoying" sound which is heard when starting the phone, just before entering my pin code ?
(Most of) other roms don't do that.

If you ask more than one user, each will give you a different answer.
It all depends on what we expect from the rom and how we use our smartphone.
I personaly don't use fingerprint, I don't listen to the radio, I don't watch TV, I don't make videos, …
I mainly use my phone for handling my SMS, my mails, my agenda, my bank app, … as also apps from various providers.
Up to now, I didn’t meet any bugs (7 days trying).
I'll avoid being overly critical of you, but my phone's battery consumption certainly doesn't compare.
I use my phone round an hour a day : +- 10-12% if I left my phone in standby all the day.
Historically I have always had a preference for LineageOS.
I also tried other roms Android 11 such as Fluid, Havoc, Pixel Experience : the choice of a rom is always for me a question of personal taste.

Thanks a lot for detailed answer.
WhatsApp issues detected in latest builds.when you turn on speaker phone hang and reboots.also tried with fresh installation.and for this bug I also tried los18.1 unofficial and found same bug in that ROM also.finaly to check whether this not hardware related I reverted to android 7 stock and having no bug of WhatsApp.
important to mention that on los17.1 and and los18.1 whatsapp badly crashing with speaker on and also reconnecting issues no sound and delayed sound and closes or phone rebooted.
any one have same problem?
