I've bounced around a number of different AOSP/CM12.1 based lollipop roms lately and Hangouts video calling seems to work on none of them. The app opens up and sends messages without issue, but when I try to make or accept a video call I get the error "Sorry, Hangouts has stopped working" or something like that. The app doesn't crash, I just get that message and the video call ends. I've tried this over the last few months on various versions of CM12.1 official nightlies, BlissPop, SlimLP, and AICP. I haven't tried a TouchWiz ROM, because, frankly, I've no desire to stay on it even if it works.
To make sure it wasn't something silly I was doing (and to get the functionality back) I just flashed an unofficial CM11 ROM and it works without a hitch.
Is this a commonly known problem? Is there any fix I can do? Any ROM you can recommend that doesn't have this problem? I'd love to be on lollipop, as I've gotten rather accustomed to it, but this functionality is one of the reasons I bought the tablet. Thanks!
I wanted to chime in and say that I'm having the same issue. I am unable to make any video calls in Hangouts on any rom besides the stock rom. I have tried multiple roms from [ROM][6.0.1] Android 6 - Marshmallow and [T700/T705/T800/T805] [5.1.1] Resurrection Remix v5.5.9, following the directions on wiping everything, newest bootloader...
Any help would be appreciated!
Edited to add: I have also tried multiple gapps from nano to the graphical installer.
Every ROM I tried had issues, including the stock ROM.
Stock ROM - Lockscreen notifications not working (very annoying to unlock phone to change song in spotify) I tried everything to enable them but they just couldn't work. Also icons are horrible.
CM 13 - Wifi o data suddenly is lost, apps enter in "bugged state" and the stop working as soon as I open them (chrome, facebook, spotify) restarting solves the issue temporarily. I love CM but restarting the phone 2-3 times a day is really annoying.
MM Stock ROM - Flickering screen during first boot up, can't continue further.
Which ROM should I use? I really like this phone but can't find a proper Android to use with.
Thanks
have you found any? i am searching for a stable rom aswell. I am currently on stock rom but the notification problems areannoying as hell...
The unofficial CM13 released today by surdu_petru is pretty stable for me. Fixed all the bugs I was having. This is my daily phone and it is day and night with EMUI.
Hi,
My screen just stops working after MI logo on all AOSP based custom ROMs. It simply powers off completely. I have tried Lineage OS 15.1, Arrow OS pie, Bootleggers ROM pie, and its the same on all of them.
I know the custom ROMs boot because i can hear the screen lock/unlock sound when I press the power button.
Tried wiping cache/dalvik; installing only rom, without Magisk. Don't know what else to try, but I really don't want to use MIUI because the main reason I bought this phone is because it has a rich dev community.
Also, the latest version of TWRP works, but RedWolf recovery has the same problem as AOSP ROMs: Screen just shuts off and after MI logo, but I know the recovery has started because it shows my devices' files on my PC when plugged into USB.
Stock MIUI, and MIUI AM custom ROM I have tried work just fine: The screen works perfectly normal.
Does anybody know of a fix, or has a similar issue? I have bought this phone to install an Open Source system and not be dependent on Google anymore, but now I'm stuck on MIUI which has both Google and Xiaomi bloat
Any help would be highly appreciated. My phone is Redmi Note 5 - Global edition (Whyred). I got it a month ago, and tried flashing as soon as my 360h unlock period expired.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: After digging, I have found out that other people have the same issue with Huaxing screens. Has anyone found a fix for this so far, or has info if someone is working on it?
Same Issue
I've same issue Please someone guide us who know about this issue please please
Flash NoName Kernel after your Rom and you're good to go. Can't explain why tho..
edit: or Derp (actually using this one with RR Rom / Oreo)
So this is a problem it seems everyone encounters. If there is a fix posted here I've missed it. The colors become corrupted so often it's unusable IMO. I usually have to reboot. So I'm rebooting all the time. I really need to find a way to fix this or I have to go back to stock.
Maybe this is why Lineage 17 is stickied. I need to read that now. Thank you.
Edit: It is fixed in builds past 20210627
I have just flashed the latest build "lineage-18.1-20210829-nightly-channel-signed" and am still getting the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix please?
Well the problem continues and seems to have gotten worse.
After some months, I've updated to lineage-18.1-20210912. The problem is still there and seems worse, happening more often randomly. Only solution is as before switch from natural to saturated (vice versa) untill your frustrated.
As this is my mums phone, can't ask her to keep doing that. May have to return to stock which I dont really want.
Tbh, I'd be frustrated too.
I'm surprised theres no LOS 18.1 thread in rom section.
I'm also curious about the other roms based on 17.1/18.1, are they having the same problem?
It appears to be lineage at fault as whilst experimenting I have successfully flashed BlissRoms, ArrowOS and my favourite Resurrection Remix and all are fine. I have stuck with Resurrection Remix with no problems to date. I have not flashed it with GAPPS but can run a few things like outlook, dropbox and other by downloading apks from APKMirror.

Try this:
System - Buttons
( long-press all buttons, to see menu)
Back long press action-Kill foreground app
Home long press action-Kill foreground app
Recent long press action-Kill foreground app.
I did this 3 hrs ago, still working.
Good luck.
Update: Last night I reinstalled Majisk and Root Checker,and suddenly this morning, my screen was flickering, with psychedelic colors again
I instantly removed both, and da da, the colors were beautiful again???
Just saying.... we'll see what happens.
I no longer have Root, but the colors are beautiful.
Used to have this problem but haven't seen it in weeks. I'm guessing if you poke around in the settings you can find some fix

how about the performance in games with resurrection or do you recommend another rom?
Same thing here. I flashed 3 phones g7 Play that I did choose because they are in the list of supported phones in the Lineage OS list. All three have the same issue. Apparently, switching battery save mode on and off an then locking/unlocking the screen very reliably triggers the problem. But it will appear also spontaneously after a short while.
Tried a lot of different settings.all eventually failed.
I found a zip named LiveDisplay,that seems to help. Flashed mine through FKM, Franco Kernel Manager.
Exact name is "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip".

Please give me a download link. Search in the browser unfortunately did not return results. Found only for Moto G5S
I used Franco Kernel Manager to download the zip. If you are rooted, just install Franco Kernel Manager and look for "g7_power_livedisplay_fix.zip.
I recently installed Pixel Experience, but I am considering going back to Lineages now that 19 is available for Moto G7 Power.
Good luck.
I think Lineage OS 19 has corrected the Display issue, perhaps you should also just consider updating . Just a thought.
What non-miui ROM have you noticed to be the most stable and issue free? I cannot stand delayed notifications present in every miui-ROM.
I was running Lineage 18.1 for a long time even though video recording was broken. Now I tried Lineage 19.1 and browser caused system freezes are driving me nuts. Arrow 12.1 also had browser related system freezes. Arrow 13.1 just bootloops when flashed with official TWRP.
All the other ROM's seem to be pretty much abandoned at this point. Do I really need to look for a new phone at this if I cannot tolerate miui?
Have you tried PixelOS latest build and SuperiorOS unofficial? They were pretty stable for daily use for me. Might have some really rare and random glitches but ortherwise seemed to work quite well. I'm also waiting for ArrowOS fix, but till that I would recommend SuperiorOS.
