Android 11 reboots and freezes - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
Is anyone using Android 11 with Willow experiencing regular reboots or freezes?
I was using Resurrection Remix, Android 10. No freezes, the odd reboot once a week or so. Everything else seemed fine.
One day I decided to move to Android 11 and problems started. I've tried a few roms, both official and unofficial: ArrowOS, RevengeOS, Pixel Experience, Project 404 and I'm sure I'm missing a couple more.
I've tried TWRP and OrangeFox.
I've also tried flashing latest firmware, and also going back to previous versions.
What I haven't tired is going back to MIUI or Android 10. It takes a lot of time to set everything up and I thought I'd first ask if it was me (maybe broken phone or me having sausage fingers) or if it's a general thing that Android 11 is not stable for Willow yet. I'm talking about 3/4 reboots or freezes everyday and it's quite annoying. On top of reboots, it takes for ever to reboot.
Happy to try any particular combination of rom and firmware you've found to be stable.
Thanks.

random reboots and freeze are more likely kernel related
try sixteen (after a clean flash) and see how it goes ...
otherwise, i suggest using A10 rros milestone by Zhan (+ sixteen of course)

Thanks so much for the suggestion @loopypalm
i will try and report back in case it helps someone else.

so, in case it helps anyone, here's my experience.
I tried several combinations of firmwares, kernels and Android 11 roms. They were all bad, unstable. Some of them would not even boot and some would boot and give me problems since the very beginning.
so, maybe it's me, but i gave up and went back to Android 10, with the following combination:
ROM: RROS-Q-8.6.7-20210308
Firm: fw_willow_miui_WILLOWEEAGlobal_V12.0.3.0.QCXEUXM_07285b429f_10.0
Kernel: SixTeen•Kernel•Q•Ginkgo•Willow•01012021•1
It's worked rock solid for 1 week. no reboots, no freezes, absolutely nothing.
I don't remember the last time I had my phone running for 1 week and I'm sure it's going to stay on for a while longer.

Had the same experience with CrDroid 7.x. Now switched to DarkJoker's LOS18.1. It is solid like a rock and no (absolutely no) freezes or reboots. Try it if you want...

This OP was shamelessly copied from the official maguro thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omnirom-04-16-t3360596
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google Apps can be found at http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano - beware that if you choose OpenGApps, only the nano version will fit! Also, starting from M, it's recommended to install gapps before the initial boot so the permissions are properly set up.
Bugs:
- Sometimes, quiet speaker pop sounds can be heard at the beginning and/or end of some audio streams (ie. touch sounds - the workaround is to disable them). For some reason, this isn't affecting everyone.
FAQ:
Does this ROM has CMA?
- Yes!
Does this ROM supports F2FS?
- Yes, on /data.
Does this ROM uses DDK 1.9?
- Yes, with all the camera issues (ie. pink lines, rare crashes) resolved.
Why does the initial boot take so long, and where are my live wallpapers?!
- To make room on the system partition for the (bigger) M gapps packages, I had to sacrifice dexpreopt and the live wallpapers. This can result in pretty long initial boots or upgrade boots, and dexpreopt might run during the first time setup wizard as well, slowing down the system for an additional couple minutes.

Downloading Right now, will post back when installed!
EDIT: Everything seems to be running smooth after setting up. Nothing out of the ordinary so far.
So I dusted off my old toro, fully charged the battery, reverted to stock and then...
Flashed "omni-6.0.1-20161123-toro-SECURITY_RELEASE.zip" from within TWRP 3.0.2.0
Nano would not install - insufficient space, but Pico worked fine.
I'm on first boot and at the Android is starting screen. It is Optimizing apps and seems fairly quick so far - roughly 2 minutes in and its at app 61 of 81.
Hoping to use this as a wifi device for google hangouts video chat and maybe teamspeak and slack.
Thanks for bringing this device back from the dead for me!
Thanks for this! My 3 year old plays with my old GNex, and I decided to clean up all the old user and system apps that didn't need to be on there since it was running really slow. It got to the point where I decided that I'd be best starting off fresh and I was hoping to find a newer Android version than 4.2.2.
This is fantastic and can't wait to see how it runs. I used the latest OpenGapps Pico and I formatted /data as f2fs. Will edit with an update on my experience.

[Kernel][LOS/CAF][M/N] Linux 3.10 custom kernel v3

Linux 3.10-based kernel for Oneplus One (bacon)
Info:
use this kernel at your own risk. Flashing it the wrong way might brick your device. I'm not responsible for any software/hardware damage.
This kernel is based on top of erorcun's 3.10 kernel. erorcun has spent an enormous time working on this project and he deserves a huge "Thank you" for having succeeded in one of the most difficult tasks in Android development: upgrading a device to a newer Linux release.
Features:
v3 (12th December)
built with O3 optimizations
CAF CPU boosting driver (replaces cpu_input_boost - might be a temporary switch)
kernel code base updated to Linux 3.10.60
sdcardfs updates
minor miscellaneous improvements
old releases:
v2.1
minor stability fix
v2 (12th November)
kernel code base updates reverted, then re-applied only up to 3.10.54
compiled with an improved set of GCC flags
tuned AIO for SSD-only machines
v1 (30th October)
built with GCC 5, UBER Toolchain and the optimal compiler flags for Krait CPUs
kernel code base upgraded to Linux 3.10.88
power-efficient workqueues
sound control by francisconfranco
CPU voltage control
cpu_input_boost by Sultanxda
sdcardfs & f2fs support
support for both LineageOS's and Sultan's camera HALs
Compatibility
The kernel is compatible with all the Marshmallow/Nougat ROMs that use either LineageOS's camera HAL or Sultan's (a.k.a. CAF's). Just make sure you download the right version
Currently, the kernel has been tested only on LineageOS 14.1, but I'm sure the CAF build is safe to flash and works properly as well.
The kernel doesn't work on Oreo (yet)!
Download
The kernel can be download from AFH: 3.10 kernel on AndroidFileHost
Thanks to:
erorcun, franciscofranco, Sultanxda, CAF & UBER, Mecca EL.

Thank you for this.
Don't know if it's your Lineage rom or this kernel, but video that i record is really stuttery. Like very janky.
I recorded the video with the build-in snap camera.

Happens with all resolutions. I already tested Sultans Lineage as well with this kernel and the same thing happens. Don't know if it tries to record it too fast as it seems to be too quick and stutters a lot.
The Los kernel seems to work fine with video recording altough i just dirty flashed it on top of Boefflas kernel.
E:It definetly is the kernel that is causing the stutter.

I'll compare the camera driver present in this kernel and the one in Sultan's kernel, then try to fix this. Unfortunately at the moment this is the best thing we can achieve, CAF camera support had always got some small problems even in erorcun's build if I recall correctly, and these problems are inevitably "inherited" by my kernel.
Thank you for working on this, I was looking forward to release since I saw your announcement in erorcun's thread.
Firstly i tried to dirty flash kernel on top of LineageOS build (N) by idprophecy, since i got positive experience changing kernels (3.4 ones) this way even with encrypted phone. So when i tried to boot up with new kernel, unfortunately it did not work and phone says my password is correct but encryption partition is broken and i need to hard reset.
I went to clean install, removed encryption and flash same LinOS build + your kernel. Then i encrypted phone again and everything went fine. However now my TWRP refuses password for decrypting partitions (its was like that in early N development for bacon on many roms).
Overall perfomance is not really smooth comparing with 3.4 kernels, but i didnt bothered to play with kernel setting.
Also i cant get MTP working, phone only charging via usb and PC (Windows) cannot see its memory.
I know this report is probably useless without kmsg logs, but i didnt have time to pull them off, so sorry about that. I try do it later

Definitely would need a log, to see what the issue is, with your experiences.
I've been alpha and beta testing this kernel, and I'm not experiencing any of the problems you and other users are describing. Clean install @idprophecy LOS14.1, flash this kernel, reboot back to recovery and flash MagiskSU, enjoy an ultra responsive OPO.

I faced the same MTP problem when I started developing this kernel several months ago. But I'm sure it appeared at a later stage of development. So MTP shouldn't be an issue as of now. Also, according to @Mecca EL, there should be a substantial performance improvement.

So can you confirm MTP is working on this kernel? What about video recording? Is it lagging or not? I still haven't had enough time to thoroughly try my own kernel :/
Thank you.

What about encryption? Are your TWRP able to decrypt data with this kernel?

I've not set encryption. I've seen way too many problems with that across almost all android devices. I'll see if it's not too much trouble to set and test for you, if I'm able to revert to unencrypted easily.

Well i am using encryption since early MM and not a single problem if developer of rom and kernel did his work fine. Biggest payoff its hit battery.
Unfortunately you cant revert encryption without formating whole internal storage, so its a little bit complicated with backups and etc
MTP is not working for me either, I'm using the CAF kernel on LineageOS by Sultan.

Hmm... I'll try it myself soon. In the meantime, my main concern will be fixing MTP, and it won't take me too much, fortunately.

all in one rom??

why cant we have a ROM with all the desired features. there are certainly many android roms but each is unique in its way. how many have you changed a ROM just because you didn't like a single thing about it or a single feature is missing.
is it possible for us to get a single ROM that has features added that the users want and not what the developers think we want.
no offense we appreciate the work you do.
The only way is to build your own rom with all the required features..
Try RR rom which has every single features you are looking for

It depends upon interface

RR doesn't have a pie rom
There used to be a ROM, that was a combination of all major custom roms avaliable at it"s time
Paranoid Android
+
AOKP
+
CyanogenMod
PAC rom. Unfortunately it's last and final version was 6.0 (MM based) and PAC team made a announcement, that PAC rom is no longer going to be developed and they will make a new rom. This statement is from 2016....
Ressurection Remix seems to be it"s closest friend (it's Oreo based though)
on OREO!
RR, AEX, CRDROID, HOVAC with few nip and tucks they have almost everything you would love!
also if you try each rom with different kernel each reacts differntly with Volume, battery and performance
1. InsigniuX kernel x10
2. Derp 4.0
3. Agni Kernel
4. stormguard and Kirks kernel
so the more different roms are the more choices you have to suite according to you needs, requirement and customization!
thats the beauty!
also MOKEE is good too! very stable! ,

yes and all the other distributions you can think of but there is always this one feature that i missing , that is present one but not in other. overall that ROM is good.

how about a rom that has the features added to by polls and votes of the users.

since 8.1 roms have reached to its END! so there is nothing more is going on with them!
but dirty Unicorn released all sorts of system UI tweaks for 8.1 and Xposed working on 8.1, hence i have done my fair share of homework & found out that Satisfactory level of DU tweaks founded in
1. CR Droid (final OREO released Oct2018)
2. Havoc 8.1 (final Oreo Aug2018
3. RR 6.2 ( final , sept 2018) ( currently using) ( no double tap to sleep feature)
4. AOSIP8.1 (very nice, Aug2018 one time build for 8.1, no incremental builds on 8.1)
5. AEX ( similar to AOSIP but have FONTS support , which makes is more attractive)
6. OMNIROM & Linage! both very stable roms! but both vanished after 1 attempt of release on android 8.1 (no UI Tweaks Found)
ALL CUSTOM ROMS USES KERNELS DERP, (few uses stormguard or InsigniuX) however all these kernels are from main tree of ANYKERNEL BY Osm0sis on github. and all roms i had tried on TWO three different RN5p ,,, i found
1. RANDOM REBOOTS when you remove phone from ear and waiting screen to wakup so that you disconnect CALL.
2. same happens with whatsapp call too!
3. when headphone jack is inserted, everything works perfect! no random reboots
4. RR6.2 don't start syncing unless u wake the mobile! ,
5. audio volume on whatsapp call is ALWAYS ALWAYS low! no matter how much you tweak mixer path file! but on CRDOID its little better for uknown reason
6. both CRdroid4.7 and HAVOC on android 8.1 have strange random network connectivity failure, they both just cant read simcards in tray unless u re insert sim while mobile is ON. I network reset many times on areoplane mode and restart device! , sometimes it works! but many times i have to re inserte simcards after rebooting device (tried on InsigniuX and Derp kernels)
now there is MOKEE Rom which releases updated version EVERYDAY! 750+mb to download each day or atleast every alternative day! i used MOKEE for 1month almost and
1. there was update every day! , incremental updates were 20mb but later they removed incremental update feature and now FULL rom needs to be downloaded. WHERE
2. I found out they are only updating preinstalled app versions or updating Kernel version if its releases. so there was never DEVELOPMENTAL increase!. (not that I know off) because
3. I had been reporting that IMO gives some SOUND LIBRARIES ERROR and the other party can hear YOUR "helo Helo" but all you can hear is SILENCE... but till last november build the same bug was there! , whatsapp volume is ok but
4. MOKEE don't have DU tweaks and I wanted to control navbar height so i installed DIMENSIONS EDITOR in XPOSED and SOUND /VOLUME/CALL DIED. it became so low! , when xposed removed and rom reflashed (dirty flashed) , sound became back to normal.
so summing up! its not just rom!
the link between given ANYKERNEL by Osm0sis to enrich end user experience also MATTERS!

the link between given ANYKERNEL by Osm0sis to enrich end user experience also MATTERS!

Wow that's alot of info but still all the developer for custom ROM just do the same thing like building a brand and rarely try any cool experiments ... I used to love those custom roms from ICS time they used out any features they could find.

[ROM][4.4][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 with 4.4 kernel

LineageOS 16.0 for Xiaomi Mi 5 with 4.4 kernel
Remember this is a beta release, althought I've been using it for more than a week and it's working perfectly.
If you experience any bugs, panics or so, please report full logs to me (logcat and dmesg, you can look in /sys/fs/pstore)
Installation:
You can flash it on top of OFFICIAL 3.18 LOS also you can always go back within a dirty flash.
For safety reasons always perform a backup of your important data!
Features:
This is well-known LOS, none of the functionalities have been altered.
Build is running 4.4.189 kernel with many improvements over 3.18, it will keep this device alive for upcoming Android releases.
Kernel is suited with initial bug fixes, however, it's a stock kernel without any advanced tweaks. It's built with CLANG (!).
Working:
Probably everything!
Not working:
Kernel is permissive
Temporary MTP fix (I didn't have enough time to investigate it well):
Developer settings -> Default USB conf -> MTP -> connect cable -> profit
READ ONLY IF YOUR DEVICE IS ENCRYPTED:
There is an incompatibility between 3.18 and 4.4 kernels, you have to flash new TWRP with 4.4 kernel, otherwise your data partition will be DAMAGED!
Nevertheless there could be a need to full wipe your /data (magic Format Data button in TWRP) so perform a FULL BACKUP.
Download:
LineageOS zip
TWRP
Future development:
Device tree will be created from scratch over new Qualcomm tag to get rid of old junk. Full Treble compability will be provided.
More kernel bug fixes
Vendor update
FAQ:
Can I install XXX ? Does it support XXX ?
- It's still LOS, it supports everything what stock LOS does.
Can't you ship kernel package only?
- No, ROM has to be modified to meet 4.4 requriements. You can't flash 4.4 kernel on top of 3.18 ROM.
But why 4.4? Do I need it?
- More fixes, more performance, more support. If you want, search for kernel changelog.
EAS?
- Not now, there are more important things to work on.
If you want to buy me a coffee, please consider donating, I've put much effort to make it working.

@xNombre great job!
I'll be testing your ROM in the future for sure. Looks very promising.
It would be great if you pulled the Floppy Kernel mods to tweak your 4.4 kernel
(Just my wish)
However, congratulations man.
I really appreciate your effort I would love to test your ROM But I only want to know 2 things before if someone can help.
1. Can I use it as daily driver?
2. Android Auto is working?
3. Will I need to do clean flash for future updates? Atleast for couple weeks.
Thanks
I'm using it for two weeks and no problems here.
If Android Auto is working on official LOS it will for for mine, too.
Nope, not for now.
#edit
Here is the new kernel you can flash on top of my LOS. (DON'T FLASH IT ON ANYTHING ELSE)
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962575411
Changelog:
add exFAT and NTFS
fix problems with wakelocks
use LZ4 for ZRAM
debloat a bit
skip sync for better battery
@xNombre What is the reason behind choosing 4.4 instead of a newer LTS version like 4.9 or 4.14? Or was the decision out of your hands?
Damn, do you think it's easy to port it on 4.14? For small group of users? Totally for free?
Two devices were fried with 4.9 kernel test version and in result I've spent many many hours of work for nothing.
Och, and remember, I had to buy a new mobo to restore my dd.
msm8996 has official support of 4.4 kernel and that's enough. I won't go any further, even if it's possible.

Whoa, calm down, mate. I just wanted to know the rationale. Knowing that msm8996 supports 4.4 is good enough for me. :good:
Sorry to hear about the two damaged devices, though. That must have been extremely frustrating.

Lots of love for 4.4 kernel.
Hello
Thanks for this amazing work.
I have a question (probably stupid) will voWifi work better than with a 3.18 kernel or there is no relationship between kernel and voWifi?
Thank you for your work. This is quite big actually.
Thx

There it no correlation between kernel and RIL. No changes here. Maaybe sth nice will happen with new vendor blobs but you have to wait for it.
great job, it heats a lot less than the miui .. today it's only the first day but it seems to me that the battery lasts much longer !!

[G8441, XZ1c] [8.1] Resurrection Remix v6.2.1 (Oreo)

Resurrection Remix Oreo​
If you're not familiar with Resurrection Remix (RR), it's a very customizable and feature rich ROM. It's packed with some many great features like a notification ticker (like in the good ol' Kitkat days), styling changes, custom gestures, and more! RR is based on LineageOS. This is a build originally developed on by (russel5), but abandoned in favor of AospEx and Pie projects of his. Personally, I'm not a fan of the direction taken in Pie and will be sticking with Oreo. I'll be developing the rom further with features, bug fixes and enhancements. Any suggestions or bugs should be opened as an issue on the Github.
Please report any issues you have on the Github. The issue tracker helps me keep organized and on top of stuff.
Downloads
GitHub
Installation
1. Download firmware zip
2. Download OpenGapps/MicroG/Whatever
3. Push to phone
4. Reboot to recovery (recommend TWRP) and do a full wipe
5. Flash RR then whatever else after (Gapps, ect)
6. Reboot
7. ???
8. Profit
General Info:
If you have issues with the camera being green, make sure you update your firmware to the most recent Oreo one via newflasher. I will update this with information regarding this. It's been months since I did it so I need to remember and hunt the files down I used (which is hard since my last computer died and I switched to Linux). I'd backup your Drm keys before doing anything if you do.
Exclude when flashing:
* fotakernel.sin
* kernel.sin
* simlock.ta (if you have it)
* system.sin
* userdata.sin
* vendor.sin
Forced encryption is disabled. If you want it make sure to flash the boot img attached. Many users have bootloops so use at your own caution. To flash use fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yes, very good rom but i find out on androidfilehost about half year, so old.
USB tethering doesnt work.
Plenty of functions.
Stable, fast, no lags, pretty battery acceptable, more than 1 day of battery life.
Display options from stock, stock camera works very good.
I think, we need upgrade RR to 7 or 8.
I am using it now for about week and its very good as daily.
And at this moment its way better than Q roms.

You can't find the most recent version of the rom on AFH, I had to hunt it down from some random forum and the most recent one before that was unstable so wanted to get it out there for people to have. I really like RR. I'll test tethering, I thought it was fine but haven't really used it. Maybe I'll mess with 7 or 8 someday after I have this one developed alittle. I personally don't have any interest in Pie+.
Edit: USB tethering works fine for me. Must be an issue with your computer. I'm using Kubuntu 18.04 and works perfectly.

I am using Windows 8.1, but in other roms like stock or PE 10 USB tethering works. I push that on and no reaction in computer - networking.
If will be Havoc OS 2.x or BaikalOS, ill start interest in pie, because i had these roms in Mi Mix 2 and they was best. Havoc in general, can be compared with most functions with RR, Baikal from russia brats in battery life, performance and simplicity.
Idk if they dont arrive to XZ1c, but pie i liked was stock, Oxygen, Miui (with some bugs, but with future).
Still, oreo and nougat roms are older, but better in most things except mentioned roms.

No idea, it has to be your computer I'm guessing. Make sure you're running the most recent version since that other versions found on the other thread is very buggy. Noted on them.

No idea, can't remember testing out the Pie CrDRoid on here. I'm not a fan of Pie+ so it didn't interest me. Should test and report in, looks like they are similar being LOS based with decent amount of customization. CrDroid has signature spoofing, but I'm making a build with that added in for RR as I type. But yeah, let me know and what other features that CrDroid has that looks cool.

Hi, i have tested update of this rom and found out 2 system bugs.
First thing - bootloop. I flashed it like usually with newest BitGapps arm64 8.1.0 v15 and magisk. BitGapps caused bootloop. Clean install with only magisk booted, but magisk app not installed, so i had to install Magisk Manager manually, root installed.
Second boot into recovery and flash BitGapps caused no google store app, like before, so i flashed MindGapps and it works.
It is mine problem, i using alternative gapps but good to notice.
Sometimes not smooth, torn animations. More often than older build.
Red blinkings: Right after successful boot, after some clicks i see weird red blinkings on display. Something similar like in developer options turn on display blinkings after stress GPU/CPU but this happen in random time and is not turned on. Is little bit enyoying, its not happened in older 2018 build.
So my decide will be flash again .228 firmware and stay with Havoc OS, now i used version 3.8 for month and i can say, now is android 10 in lilac flawlessly done. I like more older Oreo UI but fix issue with blinking and i will be your satisfied user.
Thank you and best regards.

What's special about Bitgapps? That's really strange, can you grab a log on boot using adb? If not, go to https://github.com/hockeymikey/android_device_sony_lilac/issues and make an issue and help me track it and I'll get around to testing it. It'll help keep in touch with you and solve it especially if for some reason I can't recreate it for some reason. I got that red outline too and I thought it was just me. It went away for me so might be temporary on the initial install. If you could create an issue for that too on the previous link so I can keep you updated for that too.

So I did some testing. The red blinking is gone, that fix will be included in the next release (which includes signature spoofing and updates so a few system libraries like base, native and lineage-sdk). BitGapps doesn't cause a bootloop for me. It was kinda buggy, which is odd and crashes. I'll see what I can find for it. Magisk works fine for me. Make sure it's the most recent version but I was using old versions too as well as new so I don't know.
Hm, with usb-debugging enabled, it dont ask for permission and dont save the adb-key, so u arent able to adb into twrp. But ADB to the booted device works. Anybody else got this?

That's a TWRP reason. Whoever built it disabled adb in it. I repackaged twrp to allow adb for myself, I can share it if you want.
This will be nice
And... i get this red-frame too if some higher cpu-usage happens. What did u do against it?
Encrypting the device ends in a infinity-loop at the "Encrypting... time remaining 00:00.."-Screen.
Maybe i missed something (tried with and without the boot.img for force-encryption)?

I think this is the correct one, let me know if not. Red frame is an issue I caused with how I built it, building it as a dev build not production. It's fixed on my device. I'll eventually get a new build out, I've been waiting to get OpenDelta done for OTA updates first to streamline the updating process. Maybe I should push one out sooner since the build on here I don't think is really that usable while my phone one I'm using daily. I haven't tested encryption honestly. I'll have to look into. If you could make an issue on github with every little detail to help me track and fix, that'd be cool.
Hmm, same problem -> adb devices -> unauthorized
And there is no dialog for accept/store the ADB-Key if u plugin the PC for the first time.
So.. i was using newflasher to flash the stock oreo rom and guess what... the stock rom does the same... so if u flash the stock rom (47.1.A.16.20) without remove any files from the stock-rom-directory and the adb_key still exists... where can it be?
BTW: i can access the stock-rom with adb add the first start at the "Welcome"-Screen... but twrp cant find/use the key which is stored $somewhere
