Yes i tried multiple custom recoveries, orangefox, redwolf skyhawk aka sharp… Sharp was the nicest imo, but i had some problem with de/encryption so i headed back to twrp, in the end i think it was not because of custom recovery :smiley:

Can t edit the main post anymore … :confused:

Hi there!

Thank you for the newest build. For starters the “android” animation is awesome! Other than microg errors the build seemed to run fine on my phone, but, again, because of the microg errors i was unable to run some of my apps so i had to restore to previous build, and going to the microg settings page, there were some unchecked boxes, noting there are some errors with compatibility/microg suite (one of mentioned apps, signal for instance, was warning me it wasn’t able to contact play store and so it won’t be able to function properly - what it did: messages wouldn’t come through).

P.S.
When i was restoring my previous image there was part of the image name which says “9.6.1.0” (or 9.6.2.0, haven’t remembered correctly :expressionless: ), and it correlates with the same Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 firmware which is from year 2018: “V9.6.1.0.NCFMIFD (V9.6.2.0.NCFMIFD)”. But, according to the info from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/mido there is newer firmware for Redmi Note 4 global: “V11.0.2.0.NCFMIXM”. Is there some reason it can’t be used in new builds or was it just it is to new to be notices?

Thank you again for your efforts and great builds!

I still know the version e-0.7-p-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-mido_by_Chimpthepimp with original /e/ bootanimation.
.

The now four months later released version e-0.9-p-20200603-UNOFFICIAL-mido-by-Chimpthepimp with security patches 5 May 2020 comes without the original /e/ boot animation, but shows a slightly animated “Android”. The surprise follows with a user-own background logo:
.

Elsewhere, such a build was declared as a CUSTOM BUILD rather than a UNOFFICIAL.

Is it now an UNOFFICIAL /e/ BUILD or a CUSTOM /e/ BUILD Unofficial Pie Build?

Because of the different backgroud and Android boot logo ( :thinking:) it’s custom. I wasn’t able to create a new post in custom builds. As soon as I can create new topics on the custom build section, I will move it

Well, you’ve changed the bootanimation and background, pointed out this change and put it into the »Custom Build« category. This is absolutely correct in my understanding.

As I have written, as soon as I’m able to do. But Manoj and myself are don’t know why I can’t create a new topic under Custom builds.

These official descriptions provide a framework for the term Custom ROM:

i m running a normal unofficial build :slight_smile:

An "M "onthly update - after the monthly Android Security Updates are available - would greatly enhance your work on your unofficial /e/ builds. Havoc-OS does this and has hundreds of users.

i will try my very best but can t promise anything …

:+1: I appreciate your good will. Monthly updates would increase confidence in your build.The "W"eekly updates as practiced by LineageOS aren’t necessary in my opinion. It doesn’t matter a day or two when the updated build is released. What counts is continuity(!)

i updated the link in the topic there you can find now unofficial pie ROM from today :slight_smile:

In this buils it seems like vendor security patch level is of older date than it was in 0.7p…

I ve just install Unofficial 0.9 Pie /e/. Before this i used LOS with Microg (version 16). I m very positive about /e/ but i think at least some features should be there. It is good to go but i face some problems like:

1 I use finance apk BHIM (installed via Aurora). i cant verify phone number. (phone number verification fails). It is must as I need it everytime.

  1. I cant register my fingerprint. it is must for security reason.
  2. At least there should be icon GRID option so that i can dump more apks icons on one page and i dont have to swipe pages.
  3. Icon without name Option should be there.
  4. Ability to uninstall unnecessory apks.

I think first two problems are grave. if it get done, I dont have any reason to go back to LOS.

Thanks
