@smu44, please new 1.15 Android 11 (R) build?!

smu44 · September 26, 2023, 8:26am

It was under testing, but I ran out of free time
I noticed a lack of sound when recording videos, but I’m not sure if it’s not just my device …
I couldn’t test radio (no SIM available at this time)

anon29344687 · September 26, 2023, 10:40am

@smu44, I made an update from V1.12 to V1.15 via adb sideload.

In my video test recording, the sound was recorded and given back without interruptions.

4G LTE works (incoming and outgoing calls).

Contrary to your installation instructions, I used the installation steps according to LineageOS Wiki because I wanted to see if and what happens.

So I did not install TWRP but e-Recovery version 1.18 (20231222). The file recovery.img is contained in the file e-1.18-t-20231222-UNOFFICIAL-perseus.zip by smu44.

The entire installation went smoothly with the e-recovery message:

Install completed with status 0.

working: BT, NFC, GPS
working: 4TG LTE (incoming + outgoing calls)
working: Main camera + Selfie camera (slider)
working: Charging - 18W wired, QC4 + 10W wireless

Future manual updates can be done without PC, because e-Recovery supports updating per adb sideload via internal storage and UDB- C stick without data loss.

Thanks for building @smu44

smu44 · December 28, 2023, 6:54am

Thanks @Xxpsilon for your feedback!
I will include it in future announcement posts.

I’m wondering if e-Recovery could successfully decrypt an encrypted Data partition… Will give it a try!

smu44 · January 1, 2024, 10:11am

I finally ended up with unofficial OrangeFox Recovery (link from https://t.me/MiMix3Global):

e-Recovery doesn’t include ability to decrypt & mount data partition
Fox can, and comes with an embedded backup solution (as TWRP did)
it has excellent guide and FAQ: https://wiki.orangefox.tech/en/guides

Then installation went smoothly

Xxpsilon · January 8, 2024, 4:38am

It is planned by /e/ to officially support the Xiaomi 'Mi MIX 3 ‘perseus’ from /e/ V.1.20

smu44 · January 8, 2024, 11:11am

I missed this one, thanks @Xxpsilon for the good news!

Xxpsilon · January 8, 2024, 11:40am

The quality of your ‘unofficial’ ROM was and is first class, @smu44. In an official /e/OS version I only see the advantage for ‘normal users’ that there will be OTA updates in the future.
