[UNOFFICIAL BUILD] Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 (perseus)

smu44 · August 21, 2021, 7:52am

Hi !

New /e/ 0.18 Q ROM available

Download : AndroidFileHost, mirror
MD5 : 0dd5b3ec4f1f4a39e2a7a064725c496a

I dirty-flashed it yesterday over 0.17 Q, so far so good !
Camera still working

NB : if you applied the 4th button fix, you’ll have to apply it again.

To “clean” flash over another ROM or Android version (you will lose your datas !) :

boot to TWRP
wipe cache + Dalvik + System
format Data
adb copy zip file to /sdcard
install with TWRP

For a “dirty” flash (from /e/ Q) you can only install then wipe cache + Dalvik.

@Manoj : could I please edit the first post ? Link is outdated … Thanks

Hi @smu44 i have made the first post a wiki …you should be able to make the edits now. That way it would remain updated.

smu44 · August 21, 2021, 9:35am

It’s working, thank you very much

NB : this ROM has LineageOS Trebuchet integrated (is was not my intent, guess it comes from LOS source tree …).
To launch it, in an ADB root shell : am start -n com.android.launcher3/.lineage.LineageLauncher

Enjoy

aibd · November 3, 2021, 10:45am

Thanks for that, it exists (hidden) in my official (I guess perhaps all), I had being wondering how to enable it.

petefoth · November 3, 2021, 5:21pm

Having started it via adb, is it possible to set it as the default Launcher app?

smu44 · November 4, 2021, 8:44am

Nope, intent has been removed in /e/ OS : https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android_packages_apps_trebuchet/-/commit/b44075bc60a0a1493e988dbe6d55b710bfe9d028

However, I could add a Trebuchet launch icon in Bliss, using AppManager.
Trebuchet (1)
(made with scrcpy & ScreenToGif)

petefoth · November 4, 2021, 12:04pm

Great, so the code is still there taking up space in what is now a huge ROM, but can’t be used as intended (i.e. as default Launcher and Home screen). If it is not wanted, then remove it: if it is wanted then don’t disable it in the UI

aibd · November 4, 2021, 12:47pm

Is it a side product of importing quickstep module from Launcher3 package seemed to appear when horizontal scrolling recent apps returned?

I have raised this gitlab issue

At the moment users cannot use Trebuchet as their home app even though it is present in /e/OS

Gilgalaad · February 27, 2022, 12:35pm

Thank you for this build smu44. Very grateful you ported /e/ to the mi mix 3.
The last build is great. Only small glitch is a white screen for several seconds when booting.
Otherwise all basic functions seems to work.
Do you plan to make it official someday?
Kudos and thank you

smu44 · February 27, 2022, 3:49pm

Than you for your feedback Very happy you like it !

I also noticed the white screen, as it’s fading I assumed that it is somehow wanted … not by me
I will build a 0.22q in a couple of weeks, we’ll see if it’s still there.

I offered to maintain this build officially, but it was postponed due to lack of feedback.

Gilgalaad · February 28, 2022, 8:55pm

Great news, I use your build as a daily driver, and it’s fully functional.

There’s not so many good ROMs for the Mi Mix 3, and maybe few users know your build?.
Maybe posting on XDA or Telegram group could attract more users to try /e/, then more feedback ?

Anyway, thanks a lot and hopefully you could maintain this build officially soon

smu44 · March 1, 2022, 5:42am

I use it as daily too, what makes testing a little more complicated (I have to switch to MiMix2 each time, copying everything I need)

I posted about this ROM in Mi MIX 3 Global Community TG channel some time ago, although it’s a very active community I didn’t get feedback …

Thank you for your kind support !

Hi @smu44
Thank you for your work!
I’m trying to install one of your compiles firmwares but I’m stuck in a boot loop with the mix logo.
I tried all combinations of wipe, twerp versioned and install sequence (starting always from a fresh install of latest mi mix 3 global firmware) but none of them worked properly.
Have you ever faced this issue? Any hint on how might it be solved?

Thank you very much
