Hi everyone
Basically, my Gene is no longer my primary device and just sits in a shelf gathering dust...
I wanted to play around with 6.5.3 and generally check it out...
But I can't seem to find any maintained (being actively developed) roms using 6.5.3!
How come? Any specific reasons?
small, old Gene is not meant for WM 6.5, because of little RAM and low processing power so chief not making rom for it BTW if you want try it anyway here is the link
Ivan, or more popularly known as 秋叶随风, is a super fan / guru that has help beloved MIUI fans around the world by developing customised ROMs.
When the MIUI news team first broke news about the upcoming interview
with Ivan, our ever enthusiastic fans responded with over 100+ burning
questions for dear Ivan in our fan poll!
Despite churning out amazing works that are used by MIUI fans all around
the globe, Ivan keeps a surprisingly low profile, and trying to befriend him
on QQ is no easy feat; His one and only friend request question requires
you to know his boss’s phone number before you can gain acceptance as his
friend!
Of course, the MIUI news team spares no efforts in reaching out to Ivan
for the ever curious MIUI fans, and here’s the much-awaited interview with
some of the interesting fan questions, complete with a real snapshot of
what Ivan looks like!
Question 1 : Tell us 4 interesting facts about
yourself!
I’m actually a staff of Xiaomi and a big loyal fan of MIUI!
Nobody calls me by my real name at work - Instead, everyone prefers to
call me by my nickname, “秋大”
I used to be a developer for iOS and webkit, the open source web browser
engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X
applications
I’m a novice in swimming, having just picked up the skill last year; To be
honest, my swimming can’t even rival that of the kids that I see in the pool!
Question 2: What do you actually do in Xiaomi and
how long have you been working there?
I started working for Xiaomi last year and is currently involved in Linux
server and configuration management and technical support. My main duty
is to ensure that my fellow colleagues can work or laze happily! Occasionally,
I dabble in MIUI system upgrades, memory optimization, stable ROMs
upgrades as well as updating the Android version to allow my colleagues to
test out Google’s latest features.
Question 3: How did you learn to customise ROMs
and can you teach other aspiring fans how to go about
doing it too and what is required to get started?
When I first came into contact with Android phones, the phone
manufacturers integrated the phones with too much bloatware that made the
user experience abysmal. Hence i decided to try my hand at customising the
ROM by myself, purely out of interest! I am actually self-taught, and
personally i think this is one area that is very difficult to teach.
For aspiring fans that would like to go down this path to customise their own
ROM, my advice would be to first familiarise yourself with Java, C, C++
and Linux, as well as shell kernel script writing. A good way to get started is
to follow what others have done in customising the ROM, by basing it on
their git log to understand the logic behind the tweaking. Of course, the
prerequisites are that you have plenty of time, and a relatively good
computer with fast internet speed.
Question 4: What features are you planning to add
to your latest customised ROM?
It may surprise you, but i do not like adding new functionalities. If you want
to, you don’t have to do it yourself, but use the ready solutions out there
like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, etc.
Question 5: What device are you using now and why?
I am currently using two phones; an iPhone 5, and Mi2. I love my Mi2
primarily because i find the size perfect, and the hardware is not outdated,
and best of all, i can customise it everyday!
Question 6: How long does it take for you to work
on each ROM?
From conceptualisation till its actual run takes around 1 week, but it could
take 1 to 2 months to correct for all the bugs and stabilise the system. If i
am lucky, I could update and release a more stable version in 1 - 2 weeks.
Question 7: Do you actually earn anything from
doing this?
I pursue and customise ROMs out of my pure personal interest and passion
to share what I love with fellow MIUI fans, and I do not earn a single cent
out of this. Of course, more money is always good, but personally my
opinion is that if one were to pursue this out of monetary interest, it would
defeat the purpose of doing this in the first place.
Question 8: What was the first ROM you made and
what was the motivation behind it?
I first customised the ROM for my Huawei C8500/U8150. Back then,
the phones is packed with more customised softwares. I had the idea of
customising it for my phone for a very simple reason; the touch points for
the phone weren’t many at the point in time, and i decided to tweak the
kernel source to add two more touch points and that’s how I got started!
After that, I got hooked on customising and the rest is history.
***** TOP FAN. QUESTION *****
(from @ej8989 -> We see you have great potential as paparazzi! Care to join the
MIUI News Team? )))
Question 9: Are you dating someone within the
MIUI community?
My interactions with fellow colleagues hardly extend beyond our professional
working relationship, and the majority of the fans are guys! No girl would
want to date a code geek anyway, so… to put it simply, no.

I didn't want to create a thread just to ask such a basic question but I'm not sure where else to ask. I'm thinking about buying this phone but I really dislike the notch and would prefer to keep it 'hidden' at all times.
Ever since my first Android device (2012 Nexus 7) I have always enjoyed flashing custom ROMs and tinkering with the software on my devices. My question is, should I decide to flash a custom ROM to the Pocophone, would it still be possible possible to hide the notch in something like AEX or LineageOS?
I have to assume not because the size of the notch on every device is different. But maybe the custom ROM teams could implement a feature to add an optional black bar at the top, with a setting to adjust the height (measured in Pixels) to match the height of the notch on the device in question.

Actually I also hate notch. I owned whyred previously I've shifted to poco because of development pace and most of the developers here can build from scratch .IMO u should go for lineage it has always notch hide option and has least amount of bugs :good:

Thanks, that is good to know that Lineage already has the option to hide the notch. One of the reasons I'm also considering Poco is because of the pace of development. (I miss the OnePlus One which had the best dev community ever!)
Does the option to hide the notch in Lineage work just as well as the one built into the stock MIUI ROM? And does it have symmetrical curved corners?

Actually poco has large curves due to which curves are not symmetrical .notch works better than stock in lineage especially the notification icons are handled way better than stock

That's great. I was worried about not being able to see my notification icons so that's good to hear it's not an issue in LineageOS. I'm hoping to get the 128GB version of the Pocophone a bit cheaper on Black Friday.
Hi everyone.
I'm thinking about buying POCO F1, but I've searched several threads and I still haven't understood.
Is there any ROM that can disable the notch area? Like move the status bar below the notch so that we could have just a normal status bar?

yes almost every linage based rom has this optuion now ..and i have it oof from last 15 days and now i think i have forgotten that my phone has a notch too..
im using miui. rooted, and i i stall the notif mode
so my notification icons will be show below the clock
the clock area on the left side of the notch becomes 2 lines
1st line for clock, 2nd line for notifications
heads up to the themes, apps & mods section of poco f1
there is a specific thread on that, and updated frequently
just like attachment

I don't have any "Hide" option in the developer options of LineageOS [Official] - or do I miss something?
I can report that currently Havoc OS has that feature built in (in Havoc Settings). Check attachment.
Display bug after flash stock rom
i flashed stock rom on nonia 5.1 plus (nokia x5) and after that the device think that i'm whthout notch. the notch is cutting / hiding my screen .
I can see half of my wifi icon at the top because the other half is under the notch , like you cover the screen with something. Any help?
Hello,
Basically i brought some people together, it consists of:
- @ThE_MarD, Developer (first attempt)
- @npjohnson, Developer (second attempt) / to work together with Marc
- @mxz55 (as device sponsor & eventually to help coordinate the project)
There's been a bunch of discussion where this plan got incubated, but it was in the Edge 30 forum (not the right place), hence im creating a dedicated topic here.
Previous discussion examples:
1) https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...la-edge-30-dubai.4536169/page-6#post-88509185 with less relevant posts before it, and more relevant posts after it, such as: here, here, and here
This new topic will be used to clarify the state of things, and post any updates for those that are interested in LineageOS for this device. FIrst of all, to the state there's some updates:
09-05-2023: Motorola rejected the device sample request, so we will fall back to what was intended and i will source it
10-05-2023: The device can't be purchased in Canada yet (country of ThE_MarD) and will likely be released in Canada & US rebranded as Edge+ (2023), with the same codename lyriq.
As it's essentially the same hardware (except for battery and fast charging), a LineageOS ROM should be compatible with both variants (likely also Moto X40, if not after a conversion process) and therefore development can be based on Edge 40 Pro.
To not lose time on that, i've ordered the Edge 40 Pro to my house, and tomorrow i will ship it on to ThE_MarD in Canada, using priority shipping that's likely to take 3-7 days. Of course, i will include a Type A & Type B power adapter in the box.
Roadmap expectations:
11-05-2023 / 12-05-2023: Scheduled shipment to Canada
After it arrives, The_MarD will attempt to add LineageOS support for the Motorola Edge 40 Pro. Device has released sources for an older firmware version which would be sufficient to have official LineageOS support, even though another pending request for release of the latest firmware version sources would be beneficial on the long term, or maybe the precompiled kernel can even lead to unofficial side builds in case anyone experiences bugs that have already been fixed.
As you can read from the previous discussion links, there's a comprehensive plan for this project, like in the case that The_MarD is unsuccessful to get LineageOS running on this device, another experienced developer can be next up to try. In this case, The_MarD will ship the device on to said developer (at my costs, as sponsor) and that would be @npjohnson as said here, when we got him on board. Even though it's likely to not be needed, to say that @ThE_MarD can accomplish it. And the final gesture from me as sponsor is that the developer who accomplishes it, gets to keep the device. I will re-buy an Edge 40 Pro for myself to run LOS on, in case we succeed.
Except for the few odd posts from me, this thread shall be used by the main Developer to share progress updates with the community. It is likely to turn into a development tag thread (when device arrives and the LOS attempt commences) and where if the main Developer needs to, testers/help from other devs on XDA can be requested
I'll put some information on what bringing support to this device means to me (why i wanted it so bad, that im willing to fork so much money and effort towards the cause) below in Post #2.
My story about why i want this so badly:
The combination of these things form what type of user i am:
- I never settle for anything less than a custom ROM like LineageOS / AOSP
Even if the stock ROM is decent and relatively clear of bloat (and they promise a certain amount of large updates and security patches), you won't have the degree of freedom, control, privacy and security that a custom ROM can provide (of course, in the right hands). With everything, standard apps included, being opensource, you know what is running on your device and can audit if it's secure. Unlike with stock ROM's, where unknown, proprietary code is running.
In my eyes, a ROM line LineageOS is the only way to perceive the full power of latest flagship-gen hardware, as it's the lightest & bloat-free you can get. When someone has the latest phone with a lot of performance, it feels more than good enough with the stock ROM due to high raw performance, but that might come back to "just not knowing any better".
So now, an important aspect of why im doing all this effort and spending a significant amount of money: to have the greatest, the earliest. This device has the latest Qualcomm chipset, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (sm8550) that is making its way to today's flagships, having been launched around December 2022. If we can get LineageOS up and running here, it will be a prime occasion for the entire custom ROM scene, to have something like LOS on the latest chipset so fast. I have a knack for always wanting to use the latest tech, but it can be difficult to do so on your own terms (like having full control, as LineageOS provides)
Luckily, Motorola is a development friendly brand and has good recovery tools (it can even restore a full brick on the firmware level). I also spotted someone who is in the LineageOS implementation process for the same chipset with Samsung modifications (Galaxy S23 range): see it (along with "samsung-sm8550-dev" org) if you're interested. Developers are clearly setting their gaze on sm8550, and the samsung variant is close enough to main one, to possibly be useful in our scenario as well.
Reserved Post #2 (for later roadmap updates)
Update (11-05): device shipped to Marc in Canada, i had received it
Takes approx 2-5 days to get there
Heyyo! I'm definitely looking forward to this challenge! Yeah in the future we can try to point testers here as we go and post some milestones too
Update (11-05): device shipped to Marc in Canada, i had received it
Takes approx 2-5 days to get there
So I've started a GitHub organization for these development efforts here:
Motorola Edge 40 Pro / Edge+ (2023) / Moto X40 development
Motorola Edge 40 Pro / Edge+ (2023) / Moto X40 development has 5 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
github.com
So far it's just the initial work of rebranding and updating eqs (Edge 30 Ultra) trees for rtwo, but it's a start!
Update: I also saw that rtwo codename is shared for both Edge 40 Pro and Edge Plus (2023) so that makes life easier.
Update2: I was told that Edge X40 is also rtwo so it sounds like we can do unified trees which is nice
I made an inquiry with Motorola on the kernel source code for rtwo as I'm not sure if we are missing some repos or if they are unused

The plan is to support all 3 models of rtwo. Edge 40 Pro, Edge+ (2023) and Moto X40. It is currently under development and a test build isn't released yet... but once a test build is ready it will be posted in this forum thread.

Yeah we are definitely missing the repos... Audio device tree and display are proprietary so they apparently won't even be available on CLO... So either Motorola needs to release them or they need to be backwards engineered... I'm inquiring with Cosmin Tanislav as he did so for eqs (Edge 30 Ultra / Moto X30 Pro) so maybe he has some advice for us?
@Kkjin there is development on eqs (Edge 30 Ultra, Moto X30 Pro) but I am unsure where those builds are shared. I would recommend checking Telegram for Edge 30 Ultra or Moto X30 Pro communities and ask there
I wish I could get someone to walk me thru installing this once I get my new phone, right now I'm on the unlocked T-Mobile Edge and will be updating soon, probably next month, to the Edge+23.

damn, i hope it will work out, or else we may need to make unofficial builds for a while (precompiled kernel). Does it seem like he wants to help? Also, it seems kinda random how Motorola treats the releasing of said things, as not all phones have stumbled on roadblocks like that, i still hope they will show goodwill on your github post and make the next release that's requested with those trees included.
I really hope Motorola doesn't abandon its growing reputation for being a developer friendly brand, let's see what happens.
In other news, the package arrived to Marc's city (per the tracking info) but is yet to be directed to his address from the depot. Canada Post is being slow, but it is what it is and we're not in a hurry or anything. He'll probably be able to really explore what the options are, once he got the device in front of him soon.

It's not ready, and there is no guarantee it will be next month. Getting flashable test builds that boot is the first step, as soon they work for Marc and me they could be shared to testers in here.

Update: I decided to get her to power it on and set it up for me so that it can start the timer for the OEM unlock that I'll need

Nice, and i hope so too.. this is Motorola's chance to reaffirm their position as the development friendly brand that they have purported to be. It opens a significant market (advanced users) and allowing early adoption will only boost it further.
If it won't happen, i guess you'll wait out the bootloader lock period, which is 7 days for rtwo, and just start experimenting with what we've got, (or perhaps can have with Cosmin's help), knowing that a brick is easy to recover from with Lenovo Rescue & Smart Assistant tool.
Any word from Cosmin yet if he's interested to help, btw?

Let's get hyped up, because as we know, if you accomplish this, you can have it as your daily driver.. who wouldn't like a flagship as this one for it? I hope you like the size in hand btw, in many ways it's not comparable to say an Edge 30. Even the display quality & feel is quadtripled.
@mxz55 yeah this thing is definitely bigger and better than the Edge 30 in every regard lol, it's super impressive!
Unfortunately it seems Cosmin is a bit afk as I haven't gotten a reply from him, but tbh his activity is kinda sporadic as tbh I'm unsure what his work and personal life is like so he might have a bunch of stuff always on the go so this hobby doesn't always get time
Yeah the plan will be for meow to get a prebuilt kernel hopefully booting and then try to duplicate what eqs achieved and later get a source built kernel working

Changes must be applied to the most recent version of the approved configuration file that is available on GitHub. This will help ensure that the project is kept up-to-date and that contributors are working with the latest version.
When submitting changes, contributors should provide "before" and "after" photos to showcase the improvements made to the configuration file. This will help other users understand the impact of the changes and provide a visual representation of the differences.
All changes must be documented and described in the commit message or pull request. This will help other contributors understand the purpose and intent of the changes and make it easier to review and approve them.
Contributors should test their changes thoroughly before submitting them to the project. This will help ensure that the changes are working as intended and that they do not introduce any new issues or bugs.
Any changes submitted to the project should be respectful and follow the community guidelines. This includes avoiding offensive language, adhering to copyright laws, and respecting the opinions and contributions of other members of the community.
By establishing those clear rules and guidelines for contributing to our GitHub project, we hope you can help us creating a collaborative and productive community that is focused on improving the quality and performance of SGC GCam on S23/U but not limited to SGC as well.

Yeah. lol
No one bothers with this and XDA. Most of them are doing this on Telegram and have their own communities.
