Possible fix for e-compass - Mi 3 General

Hi,
As many users know on android lollipop for our devices e-compass is not working well (always pointing north). It's not the most usefull part of our phones, but it's a bit boring when you try to use google maps.
The reason why it's not working may be because it's not calibrated. I'll share something that worked for me.
-Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brothers.compass
-Open it and click on menu button
-Follow the step, just do it all the time while progress bar is moving.
For me it worked, I hope it'll work for you
Try and report the result here

Didn't work for me.
I am using Mi3 with Blisspop v2.1
I tried calibrating 3 times and got the vibration for calibration complete but still the compass didn't work neither in this app nor in google maps.
Anyway thanks.

Ah maybe only works with Mi4

Hello, since I haven't yet reached 10 posts, I need to write here. So. My question rather points at SynnyG and his AOSPA-L rom for Mi3. Is there any progress with the compass fix? Just asking, I myself found compass useful because of travelling and mapping certain objects. At the same time, I love this ROM, its simplicity and spirit of the AOSP look. But, the compass is bugging me. Every compass app is randomly turning the arrow around, depending on how I tilt the phone. Also, the measured magnetic field is out of range, showing more than 200uT when device is laying horizontally(not happening with MIUI in the same room with the same conditions). Maybe just heavily decalibrated? Calibrations don't work though, so I rather think it's something in the ROM(and basically all CM based ROMs, as I was also trying Bitti's one and it behaves the same, plus phone overheats with temps at almost 80°C). Other than that, the ROM so far runs smoothly, without any crash or lags. I just miss some option to switch between performance modes. Just for information, I'm using the latest AOSPA 6.7.1015 build with stock AOSPA kernel, MI3W 64GB. Not sure if I need to post some logs or such. If so, please tell me and I'll send it. Oh! And one other thing, that doesn't fit in this thread much, but I think there's a little bug in systemUI, where the network and wifi icon doesn't show the traffic activity with the up and down arrows. Thank you for answers, appreciate it. And sorry if I'm asking in a wrong thread, I'm relatively new to XDA.

[WIP][Xposed]GyroEmu-Accelerometer/Magnetometer fusion

Hello,
Lots of devices from low to mid-end range don't have gyroscope installed, and thanks to that have AR capabilities severely decrased.
I'm working on Xpose module that uses Accelerometer and Magnetic Field Sensor to simulate Gyroscope output.
Module works by creating new Sensor instance and injecting it into SystemSensorManager sensor list after its constructor, so getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE) will return it.
Module registers then SensorEventListeners for accel and magnet sensors and does it's calculations on accelerometers update and calls onSensorChanged of listener that uses it.
I'm still working on calculating velocities properly and getting good quality noise-free output. I did some progress on this but it still does not work as intended. (rotation directions seem correct, or maybe are swapped or inverted, but that can by easily fixed, problem is with values, which are simply wrong.) Testing it is a problem though, since I don't own any device with actual gyro, so I'll be gratefull for any feedback.
xda won't let me post normal link yet, so here is repo: https://github.com/Mourdraug/GyroEmu/
And here is apk: https://github.com/Mourdraug/GyroEmu/raw/master/app/GyroEmu_0.1.apk
Woah, i thought that was impossible. Continue bro, this'll be an interesting module..[emoji106]

Just use an app that reads your hardware so you are on the safe side
Kinscreen, an app to keep screen on by positions and other related screen-on/screen-off functions, original complained about lack of gyro. Upgraded version got around this, works like a charm. Might have done the same as this module.

Dont be so judgemental people. This guy tried to bring some Nougat love to us and instead got all the hate. I dont think asking what is the differences between this ROM and Seraph08's ROM is appropriate. But I do agree when posting ROM it is nice to have some info ahead of time
I can't believe fingerprint drama is still exist but hey! God gave us 10 fingers on the hands and not just 1
I always wonder what people hide in their phones that make them add more then 1 finger print It better be some hot girls nude photos
But I am not here to judge. Just being silly flashaholic :highfive: :silly: :victory:
Thanks for the ROM @sycolon
To register multiple fingerprints on any CM14 builds (I am using Grarak's build & have tried it on my own build):
1. Setup phone with 1 finger print
2. Go to Settings->Security to add additional fingerprints
3. When prompted to scan your finger, DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE SENSOR - LONG PRESS THE FINGER PRINT ON THE SCREEN
4. It will prompt you to asking you to scan the finger print
5. Now place the finger on the scanner and it works!
Noticed battery/notification lights can't be changed to anything other than stock colors.. No errors, just doesn't change. Used multiple builds.. Likely known, just throwing it out there.

I totally agree with you that all developers should get love and not hate since their efforts make our lives better, but please excuse me, how on Earth is asking for information inappropriate? Asking someone for information is what differentiates us from the apes.
I know XDA have rules prohibiting "Is A or B better?" questions, but it's perfectly normal to ask what the objective differences between the ROMs are, especially since many devs don't provide this info in the OP. For example, if one ROM has working GPS and the other ROM doesn't, that is perfectly neutral and objective information.
With all my humble respect to all developers, I think it's much more inappropriate to publish ROMs on XDA (=public domain) without listing the known bugs in the OP, and taking the "flash-and-see-for-yourself"-approach.
If you, as a developer, choose to use a public domain like XDA to publish your work, please be transparent and take 5 minutes of your time to honestly list all your achievements and failures.
If you choose not to, you have no right to be mad at people asking those questions over and over and over again.
And imho this applies to all devs, including the current one as well as @Seraph08 as well as any other %username%. All I'm asking for is honesty and transparency, and I truly believe with all my heart that's not asking for too much.
I remember back in the days of Android 2 this was an unwritten code all devs on XDA went by.
But then competition got high and someone discovered he'd get more community creds if he kept quiet about his failures...

I think you misunderstood the concept of adding additional fingerprints The more FPs you add, the more fingers you can use to unlock the phone, which makes phone easier to unlock. If you have 10 FPs added, you can unlock your phone with any of them, not by using them all xD

Maybe too early to start whining, but is it just me or does the fancy assistant bot seem far less clever than how much Google's been waxing about it.
I mean its just standard Google search with a chat interface, and to make sure it feels like a throwback to early 00s, it CANNOT talk back. At least the one I "chatted" with doesn't, and it's been fed some really amateurish verbatim script the way it responds.
All in all Allo feels behaves and acts like a dysfunctional kid born out of Google search marrying WhatsApp, most likely not for love but to rile up Facebook and such, while projecting it be this new hot starlet we've supposedly been trading videos of on darknet.

CUBOT X19 Compass not working

Hi,
I have two CUBOT X19 devices running the Android Pie ROM provided by Cubot (CUBOT_X19_9021C_1_V07_20190612-1141).
Both suffer from a non-working compass pointing East always.
The gyroscope seems to work fine as turning the phone lets it point to another heading shortly,
but once you stop the rotation, the compass points East again.
Of course I tried calibrating the compass ("figure 8 movement") a hundred times to no avail.
Using a weak magnet you can change the heading. Thus the magnetic compass does not seem to be broken totally.
I like the phone very much, but regretfully the phone is unusable for navigation by foot like this.
- Anybody with the same issue around?
- Does this look like a soft- or hardware issue?
- Does probably somebody have the X19 with Android 8.1 or any other ROM who can confirm that the X19 magnetic sensor (compass) works?
havent had the same problem but
have you written to cubot about this? when i installed their rom my imei numbers were missing and they were quick to help, they sent a zip with a nice tutorial and all the necessary files. i know it aint the same problem but they should be able to help you out. doesnt hurt to ask them if you havent already.
Yes, I contacted Cubot
Thanks for your reply! I did contact Cubot using their forum the same day, I added this thread. Regretfully I did not receive any reply yet.
Meanwhile I managed to get the compass working on one of the two devices using the calibration tool in the app "gps status & toolbox". I tried the same with other tools before, without success. The calibration looks fine for about a week now, so I guess this thread can be considered closed.
If someone experiences the same problem, he might give gps status & toolbox a try. At least for me it did the trick.
Cheers, Lucius

Derpfest ROM android 10 discussion, experiences, mods

Hi to all
The developers of derpfest ROM don't wanna share the links to Derpfest in xda.
We have to respect this! Don't post any links to ROM or telegram derpfest groups!
Here is the closed thread without links but with important infos:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/help/android-10-derpfest-rom-10-official-t4032543
So, this thread is only for advice, discussions and experiences.
Future requests
Please tell me what you want to have changed or implemented, the I would ask the developers if it could be possible.
My list
1. adding autocall record
2. Adding flip display down to mute ringer
3. Smart charge (charging only to a predefined % value)
4. Adding display saturation level
5. All closing button in recent app list
6. And last to be 100% perfect with 5 stars: a system menu with automatic timebased network disconnect... Like leandroid app
Hi guys
This TWRP (last version from 16.) is lookin and working better than all others:

If you delete the empty folder root data per_boot the backup is running without faults.
Many additional functions like disable magisk modules for testing or after bootloop with a non working module....
There are 2 versions of derpfest 13.1. 20 online. Someone checked the differences?
Is it impossible to support the ok google hotword feature?
Sadly hotword don't work on most custom roms in Mi9.
Except few roms
For example, old Bootleggers ROM, EvolutionX 3.5 1224 build etc...
You can assign AI button to ok google or use screen gestures,
but in my case I really need a hotword so I can't move to another rom.
I saw some comments before.
There was a saying that moving from possible ROM to impossible ROM, but the attempt failed.

most people looking for information about some roms go to the "ROMs" section and not here, which is why so little interest. DerpFest itself is the best rom for mi9 (with weekly releases.)
IBTD, a ROM with GAPPS included can never be 'the best ROM' for any device. YMMV but I'd like to decide by myself which Google bloatware I'd like to install.

Battery tweak
I've tested magisk module "MOD optimal battery saving for Mi 9 v3. 7" in newest derpfest
and yesterday evening I was on 71% and today in the morning around 8 hours of sleep it was also 71%!
Never seen such a low battery consumption over night.

Yes, I think every gcam has some bugs.
Also this one:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-HAYDgRI2z2Z7pbWMBtmEuP8jStW5oPT
But this one (apk install, unpack my zip xml settings to sd card that you've got a GCam Folder with subfolder Configs7 and there are the xml configs / open cam app and choose the config file by double click black area or in the settings menu)
I've found today and there are a lot of settings adjustable and quite stable. For me perfect pictures....
Try and give feedback.
I've used Derpfest for a couple of days and was very happy with it. But I couldn't get Android Auto to work with my car - dark screen on the dashboard and phone would lock up. I've dirty flashed PE and there Android Auto works fine.
I understand Android Auto may be a very rare use case, so I certainly don't want to complain. What's more interesting is that you may apparently try dirty flashing between PE and Derpfest...at least at this moment.
Can confirm. Android auto not working. Black screen and phone restarts for me.
So i am going back to PE.
