Super slow GPS on mi Max 3

Hi guys,
I have the mi Max 3 unlocked, with TWRP and rooted.
I have been running it with RevOS and now with GSI Havoc...
But there seems to be a real problem with the GPS ! It's super slow...
A fix takes about 30 seconds sometimes even more (in the same location, the Honor Note 10 fixes in 3/4 seconds).
And while I traval => "GPS connection lost" happens quite often and it also happens that I get "Searching for network".
Is there a "radio.img" or something like that that I may have to flash to improve things ?
Do you guys have the same when using GPS (like Waze) ?
Or is my device defective ? Should I try to reflash the global ROM for this ?
Thanks for your answers.

I use Xiaomi.EU Rom 8.11.15 (last Oreo updated), used Waze first time this morning and locked in incredibly fast.
Maybe down to the OS you are on?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Maybe the OS. But now I am using Havoc OS Pie and I have the same problem Super slow fix : like 30 seconds and up to 1 or 2 minutes.
Will try to reinstall original MIUI stock but I fear to get a device with ARB protection (which I would like to avoid).
Regards.

What version are you on?
If you are MIUI 10, don't go below MIUI 10.
If you are on MIUI 9, like I was out of the box, 9.6.12, you cannot go down. anything above 9.6.8 has ARB really.
I got soft locked and I had to use MiFlash to restore Global ROM.

...or you just clean up the miui from all the ARB related sh*t before flashing it...

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers...
Definitely ROM related.
I restored stock MIUI 9.8.6.0 (last official with no ARB) and Xiaomi.eu 8/8/9 (latest non official with no ARB) and with those, I got a GPS fix within seconds...
And that quick fix is reproductible...
So : there goes RevOS, which is a pity : it was superb and with lot of added customizations abilities...
Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for the link.
But I must say that I am a little anxious about that
First : it is unclear if I have to LEAVE the listed files in the FW-update folder or if I have to take ERASE those ;
Second : is it confirmed that if I do that, I won't have ARB on my device ? Because it seems that the author is just "speculating" about this and asks for confirmation...
So if you could provide a little more details, I'd be a taker
Regards.

Those are the files you should flash. All others not listed you delete along with the lines in updater-script/flash-all.bat. Haven't tested it myself b/c I don't care about MIUI and I only flash boot, system and vendor to test my stuff I work on. But later on I will have to test it b/c I will need vendor and firmware for my next project. So although not tested these files should be ARB safe, the rest of them removed are bootloader related where ARB resides. But with anything Xiaomi I can't be 100% sure until test it personally. What I can asure you is no ARB if you flash boot, system and vendor only...

[ROOT] [MAGISK] [Module] Hardware Origin Bypass for Xiaomi devices

Hi All -
Just wanted to make a thread here to link to the Magisk Module I created that bypasses the bootloop we get when we have CN hardware with the Global Rom. I think this will work for India and Russia hardware too. Enjoy.

Mine never stopped working before, however, this works completely differently. This inserts a script into the boot process that happens before the device starts launching system services that changes the ro.boot.hwc and ro.boot.hwcountry to be "global". The other way I was doing it was to make the product props to a value that would make it skip the checks entirely. Unfortunately, changing that value removed the slider settings, broke the slider camera, and for some, stopped the stock camera from working. I have checked an all expected settings are in the menu, safetynet passes, the slider works, the stock camera works.

Great, all works, no problem with camera or slider settings.

Eggcellent!!! lol... so just flash with twrp and that's it?

Yes, flash Magisk, 18.0 and 18.1 don't work for me. Use 17.3 and then flash this and you should be golden.

before, V18.0 wont work with mix3.
no matter how you install it. only 17.3 works
as of the moment, since the week before the Chinese New Year, there are no updates from mi-globe. until this weekend. so this is a good alternative to make v18 work with mix3.

That's what I was thinking but people seem to really want to install it, I'm still on 17.1 as that's what comes with twrp.

I haven't tested 18.1 as posted above, but 17.3 is the latest working released version for global.

Most people on telegram are now using 18.1 , apparently support for modules will end soon for 17.

The released 18.0 and 18.1 do not work on the mix 3. I have no idea if the one linked above does, but I also don't know what they modified which is why I was advising 17.3

its working. some of the others guys here installed it.
they said its working. i for one, installed, and its working.
based on the screen capture i posted. you can see a logo of xda, maybe they are a part of it somehow.
moreover, there are tons of bulleted changelogs for the 18.0 & 18.1
some of them may not be noticeable for a very large audience, but this "i guess" will make it future proof for the reason of rom updates and compatibility. since Android Q is in the works.
also, noticed these changes
Code:
v18.1
- [General] Support EMUI 9.0
- [General] Support Kirin 960 devices
- [General] Support down to Android 4.2
- [General] Major code base modernization under-the-hood
other changes are for MagiskHide, maybe to better hide other apps. because there are some few apps that still can detect rooted devices even if they are HIDDEN.

Development [ROM][13][ENCRYPTION] Official LineageOS 20 for A72

Link to original thread: A52 4G forum

Updated to Lineage 19.0!

Hey man! Everything is working great as far as I can see right now. Only one big drawback is the fingerprint scanner not working on Galaxy A72. It's not that it's registered and then it's failing. You can't even register it sadly.
Any fixes soon? Or is there a workaround which I am supposed to do, that I don't know about?
Thanks!

There are some suggestions.
Google Camera does not start, crashes. On GSI it helped to turn on the vendor Q.
In the screen settings, can you add a graph of picture saturation settings?
And is it possible to add a system backup to Lineage Recovery?

Of course it's a pity lineage recovery won't have a backup function, it's inconvenient to flash twrp every time.
And the colour saturation setting as on oneui is missing. I don't understand why you chose LOs, there's nothing in it at all, you can't even choose colours in styles. I was sitting on GSI 12A CrDroid before your firmware, great firmware in terms of customization. Never used google services. Never used google services.
Unfortunately when upgrading to GSI v402 the phone is extremely hard to start. About 8 times on reboot out of 10, 8 times caught bootloop. And this is on any v402 firmware.
In any case your firmware is better, even without having to patch separately the boot for magisk in order to run it on 12A GSI

If you're unhappy with lineage feel free to build any other ROM on your own, the device trees are all on my Github.

friend! please don't stop developing this system, it's the best I could find for me a72, as soon as I can I'll send support through paypal

Yes, it is.

tried this rom its quite unstable loads of issues, still its the only rom at the moment. I reverted to stock.
Ok this was posted in haste and a bit in irritation what I meant is simply this is not useable as stable rom,
Its unstable and has issues. This is not meant as a revieuw or judgement of said rom. Its the first and currently only one avalible and kudo's to the creator. Its listed as development. Its just a quick feedback for those like me that just like to know if its stable or not.

Would you mind telling me about the issues you experienced?
From my point of view (and from what others told me) it runs pretty stable and mostly bugless on both A52 and A72.

I have it running for weeks now as second device. Only real issue is fingerprint sensor and camera, could not find any gcam mod that would work properly. Apart for it - runs stable.

Sorry Muyst have missed this,
Also edited initial post cause it was imho blunt and to negative. Sorry about that I have nothing but respect for mod creators.
I din't extensivly test but:
Vingerprint reader but this was known.
I had some screen issues (swiping up from bottem wouln't work so couln't close apps.
pixel launcher kept crashing (yes this might not be rom related but nova launcher also had issues)
General instability possibly all related to screen.
There where some other issues but as said my intention was not to extensivly screen it the above combined with the other small issues made me decide to remove it again.

I was using lineage os 19 in my Samsung Galaxy A72. It's better than pixel plus ui rom. It has 90hz screen refresh rate. But this rom has the following bugs also:
1. Proximity sensor not working at all;
2.Fingerprint or face unlock not working;
3. No safety net pass.

Best AOSP 12 rom for normal using?

Hi, i want to know your opinion about best roms with android 12 for redmi note 8 pro. Clean rom with google apps.
I had POSP rom testing it's seems good but i missed few importand options like 3 fingers to ss.
I tried Pixel Experience rom ass well but that was terrifying, phone cannot take a screenshot, no face id option or even fingerprint scanner.
Spark-Os i think is best os i used, but dont have face id unlocking option.

You can flash to PE 12 directly from miui 12.5,
FYI, I installed the updated PE 12 and the devs have fixed major bugs but still i found
1. Netflix widevine issue(plays video in SDquality), No issues in prime video
2. Bluetooth range issues after 2 days
( i did ADB sideload, it worked perfectly, remember to wipe and format as mentioned in flashing instrcutions)
their recent update fixed screenshot issues, Unlimited google photos backup (check the changelog for more info)
Personally I wouldnt suggest you to go for Pixel A12 now, cuz the devs mentioned they are using MIUI 12.5 kernel and it has battery drain issue. Wait for the PE A12 plus which i hope might be better and much stable. I heard they scheduled PE plus A12 next month, not sure though!

Question Android 13 beta

Hello,
I didnt find something about the new beta. Someone did try the new android 13 beta? I have to wait a week for the bootloader unlock so i cant try it yet :/

Last i read they were focusing on 12 L.
Not sure how accurate that is though

Yes but yesterday they released the new 13 beta for the pad5

Oh you are so right.
Good to see
Android 13 Developer Preview builds are now available for these non-Google devices
Android 13 Developer Preview builds based on the beta release are available from multiple OEMs for a bunch of devices. Read on!
www.xda-developers.com

If you want to install it you have to unlock the bootloader but xiaomi dont unlock this before 1 week from the request...

Can someone to install it and show it to us? If there is the miui or if is the stock version of android 13. And if they put something like new gesture or something for the tablet. Thanks

I couldn't get it working. I'll try again with the next beta.

Looks like Xiaomi have released an Android 13 beta for "Xiaomi Pad 5".
Looks like it is for Nabu.

I unlocked the rom using the mi unlock tool provided by xiaomi and by waiting for almost 2 weeks (im using windows)
I'm still exploring this rom but I havent experienced bugs at the moment aside from the aforementioned brightness thats a bit dim for me even its maxed out... but if you need the other features of miui like the floating windows/dolby atmos and other stuff i think its fine to stick for miui for now and wait for the 12L or the official A13 for miui

Its pretty much a straightforward process after unlocking the bootloader..
download this one on your PC
Global A13 Beta2
Edit: Also dont forget to backup files since this will wipe all your data
1.Extract the downloaded file using 7zip/Winrar until you get a folder
2.Connect your phone in fastboot mode
3.Open the extracted folder and click the flash_all.bat
4.Wait for it to finish
5.Done
For rooting
1.Download the latest magisk apk
2.From the fastboot rom folder, grab the boot.img and transfer it to your phone with the apk you have just downloaded
3.Install the magisk on your phone and patch the boot.img
4.Transfer the patched boot.img to your pc and flash through fastboot
5.Reboot and install any modules you want

Which adb command ?

I just flashed the developer preview.
As I expected already the Smart Pen can connect but is otherwise not working.
The display configuration is off, but manually changing the dpi value in the developer settings fixes that.
Netflix works with playing back video that looks like more than just 576p (pal).
Otherwise due to the early of development of course there are more smaller and bigger issues with the release but it is quite nice to see a relatively well working clean stock Android build on the tablet. If it weren't for the missing smart pen support I might be running it as a daily driver.
