First my setup: I've a RN3 SE (Kate) and I installed de developer MIUI, did an unofficial unlock, flashed twrp and installed lineageos (first official version), root package and pico gapps. That's it. I used Titanium backup to restore some of my apps data, but I installed every apk via the play store.
I started to notice that some apps were disappearing after a reboot. Everything I'll lose between 5-10 apps, mostly the apps that were updated very recently. After installing the missing apps back, I didn't loose anything, all settings of the app are intact. I've no idea if this happens because of the Google Backup and Restore function of Android itself, or because that app data never were missing.
I've installed every update of LineageOS, but no luck, every time it'll lose some apps. Even some apps stop working after a reboot until I reinstall them. It's getting annoying, therefore I start this thread.
Anyone faced this problem and has any idea what's happening?
Bump
Try a fresh install
I'll try that in the coming days, but this is already the second clean install i did. Both with this issue.
Use this app and check your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en
If there are errors after a full scan, you have a problem with your flash memory.
Did you wipe and format internal storage through TWRP before installing LOS?
I think i just think that this is the begining symptoms of the emmc_brick bug i recommend u to check for any disk errors.
Thanks for the tips, luckily the test came out just fine ("Congratulations. Test Passed. 159s. 31268536320 bytes (29.1GB) 190.2MB/s"). No emmc errors and I didn't have any problems on 6.0.1, it started on 7.1.1. I think it has to do with the new ART and JIT compilers, as it only happens with apps that got updated recently.
Before installing LOS, I did a wipe of system, cache and data. I don't think I did a complete format of internal storage as well.
I am currently in the rom miui 10 EU with Android 7, it came out recently the miui 10 EU with Android 8, I did a data formatting, I installed the rom but it took me a lot to start and when I started it gave me too much lag and slowness, I made several deletions and remained the same, some solution? Sorry for my English but I use the translator since I speak Spanish

When you performed a Format data is normal that device takes a lot of time to reboot to system.
In most of cases including this is not required that you do a Format data.
If you update the rom also flash the firmware to update the other important partitions and contrarily to wipe everytime, everything wait a reasonable time to let device stabilize, cache and dalvik cache are used to have a quick access to the system image and data apps and will be loaded again if you wipe them so your device will get slower that you expect. It´s indicated to avoid conflicts specially when apps are updated or you switch to other version of android but not to made device faster.

Not needed, only wipes cache and dalvik cache and if you are go to flash a rom of the same dev not even wipe system is needed cause this partition is automatically replaced, for eg. from eu 7.1 to eu 8.1 and you can preserve your data so most of the cases this doesn't cause conflict (if the rom is not programmed to do it by itself)
I know this kind of thread has been already asked but I am having serious problems with my RN3Pro (2 Gigs, 16 ROM) since years (since 2017), its laggy, slow, and no matter what ROM I try (I tested SMIUI, Cyanogenmod, Lineage, Resurrection Remix, Liquid Remix, CRDroid, AOSP Extended ...) ... I even installed Radon Kernel to try and improve the system performance, nothing helped, enabled zram too, still the same.
I usually run between 2GB/200MB of internal memory free, due to telegram cache and all these things, still the same, no matter what I do, its slow in all senses.
When I install a rom I do a total wipe with new openGapps and new magisk, I never dirty flash over nothing, the phone can run fine but as soon as I install my apps (or I restore them by titanium backup) I go back to slow performance.
What I should do ? Im actually on Pie (AOSP Extended, no Radon Kernel), but im planning to go back to Oreo (AOSP Extended, Radon Kernel installed) or come back to MIUI
Im afraid of come back to MIUI since I love to touch my DPI settings, I use Adaway, Kernel Auditor and a lot of things I cant do with MIUI.
May someone help me ?
Thanks.

lol :laugh: your answers lies in your question itself.
Noone face problem. Why? Think first.
What u doThats not Clean flash.
Make sure u r on latest official twrp 3.2.3
First go to twrp . Format data to decrypt data and erase internal sd.
Go to wipe. Press format data
Type YES to format
It will erase data and internal sd partition.
Then Wipe data reset.
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
Do not restore any data backup from twrp.
When u first boot into system. During initial setup wizard. select DONT COPY DATA. Start as fresh setup.
After setup finished.
Do not restore backup or anything from titaniuim backup. Its main cause of ur problems. Restoring old backup on new android os bring crshes, bugs, drains, laggs.
Download and install everything from playstore.
Its done .Now check ur performance.:good:

Days ago, after read you, I decided to give up and go back to MIUI and then start again, with a total erase and full memory reset, I updated TWRP and also installed all with only a few titanium backups restore (I needed them, so I had no choice), the phone now runs quite aceptable and great, I took a look at kernel auditor before and after the complete restore, before I wasn't having any deep sleep, now, my phone have deep sleep most of the time and less high freq's
Didnt knew that titanium backup and not formatting my personal data was too bad, thanks again Black_Stark!
I am using Redmi Note 4 SD625. I was easily running AEX {9.0}, without any problems.
I decided to switch to HavocOS. After installing the zip, and also Gapps {pico}, my phone got stuck on Just a Sec screen after Language Selection. I already tried using different ROMS, clearing Internal Storage, Formatting Data using TWRP, but nothing is working. I really need to get this device going. Please Help. Also, my phone's system UI keeps crashing while on Just a Sec Screen [ black screen and then instant refresh of notification panel]. Is this something to do with my gaps? Please help.:crying:

Just try it once more.
1. Update your TWRP. Use OrangeFox 9 which you can find here. Boot into your recovery and install OrangeFox:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...-orangefox-recovery-project-t3775933?&cf=1
2. Update your firmware. Most people prefer firmware 9.6.1.0 which you can find here. Just flash it in OrangeFox recovery:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi..._V9.6.1.0.NCFMIFD_2ffa61cdd6_7.0.zip/download
3. Download the ROM and GApps you want to use and save them to your SD card.
4. Boot into recovery and make all the necessary wipes (Internal, Data etc) and also format "Data". You will have to type "YES"
5. Install the ROM you want to use, install GApps and reboot your phone

You can use internal storage as well.
After you do all the wipes, you will need a computer and can then copy the ROM and GApps to internal storage.
Using a SD card, you won't need a computer.

Looks like my phone is f****d up bad. I tried internal, didn't work. I tried USB OTG and it is still stuck on Just a sec. Now what?
By the way, i used gapps from your link.

Maybe it's a problem with the ROM you are using?
You can try to remove your Sim cards. Remove your Sim cards, do the setup and once everything works, put them back it.

If system UI keeps crashing, you probably didn't wipe your system before flashing a new ROM.
In OrangeFox go to:
Wipe - Advanced Wipe
and select everything except external storage and "Cust"
then swipe to wipe
After that go back to:
Wipe - Format Data
type "Yes" and format Data.
After that is done, flash the ROM and GApps right afterwards.

Wipe - Format Data and type yes.
After that works, wipe everything and install the ROM and GApps.
Alternatively, Wipe and then "Swipe to Factory Reset" like in the screenshot attached.
If this doesn't work, maybe there's a problem because you encrypted your phone. Maybe this will help then:

It wont be solved I assure you. There is no probelm with gapps either as i have tried an older (feb 19 built gapps package) and it didn"t worked with any rom(havoc,rr). Try to flash the older Pixel Experience april build . Check your private messege inbox as i have sent you the link. It will surely work.

Hello I have a rooted phone with official miui12 rom.
TWRP is flashed but I can also run TWRP using adb.
How can I flash the New miui13 stock version ? Do I use the official Xiaomi flash tool? Or do I use TWRP to flash the stock rom?

Through fastboot, you should use the fastboot ROM, and through TWRP, you should use the recovery ROM.
Thanks. A preferred option ?
Using TWRP do I need to erase stuff before or can I install directly the rom and this is all ?
I guess that recovery room is not the one provided officially by Xiaomi, right ? It the same but packaged a different way ?
Do you know if SD card will be erased during the stock rom flashing process ?
I see on official Xiaomi site that official rom is quite old. Miui11 version so I guess I will need to perform a lot of OTA update... Can I trust recovery rom provided on other websites to have the latest stock rom version ?

Normally, you don't need to erase data, as they just update without erase per se.

The OTA updates come, either in form of fastboot or recovery ROM, when Xiaomi provides an update, you will, also, find the minimal OTA package, yet included in the whole ROM.
In this site, you will find the most up-to-date releases https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/joyeuse/
thanks. I would like to be sure that my flashed TWRP will be erased during the process, will both flashing process (fastboot or TWRP) erase all my phone and put in a new "clean" state ? (except maybe for sdcard content)

Nope, both the processes, don't wipe per se, either through recovery or fastboot, in the Mi Flash tool, there is an option to format data, if you like it, if not, it remains un-ticked.
Sorry to insist but what are you calling 'data' ? Is it the SD card content (I don't think so) or is it the data partition on my internal memory ? So it could be :
Photo taken in internal memory
Data stored by apps like photo from WhatsApp or stuff like that ?
Temp file of each app like settings of app, etc.
Would it be a problem if I erase all my phone and loose all my apps but data off app are still there, it will take space for nothing right ?
What about flashed TWRP? will it be removed by the flashing process ? I think TWRP is flashed in recovery partition but not sure.
As you see I'm not familiar with android partition even if I did several times this kind of process with different phones.

Not exactly what I call data, but, what data means in Android World.
Formatting data, it's deleted all the data from apps stored in /data partition, all the data regards settings, all the apps installed by the user, general configurations and all the data stored in internal storage, also the system apps uninstalled by the user can come again.
As per the SD Card, if you have one inside, it is not touched in the process.
If you flash the recovery ROM using TWRP, it won't be overwritten, if you flash the fastboot ROM, you'll lose the access to TWRP.
Thanks. Tell me if I'm wrong but if a choose to flash stock miui 13 version whereas I'm currently in miui12 I should maybe erase data also ? Maybe apps won't works again from 12 to 13 version ? I should be cleaner to reinstall them again don't you think ?
About fastboot stock rom isn't it strange that the official website provides only miui 11 rom whereas your site has miui13 version? How is it possible ? For recovery rom I understand because people can backup their phone and could create a recovery rom like this with miui13 after doing the ota. But for the fastboot rom, if Xiaomi don't provides it and provides only miui11 one, where does the miui13 come from ?

It would work even if you don't erase data, but, I personally prefer erasing it, to avoid some lags/bugs in the future.

Firstly, be sure that your device is Joyeuse.
All the updates, either recovery and fastboot ROM, are provided by Miui, all of them are official updates, not uploaded from users´ devices.
It's A12, not A13, I don't think your device see the light on A13.
Yes android 13. But miui 13 comes with android 12 and my current os is miui12 that comes with android11. (If I'm correct).
I have Redmi note 9 pro, M2003J6B2G (photo is 64M). I don't know where Curtana or joyeuse word can be really found in my phone but after some readings I had the feeling that M2003J6B2G = joyeuse version.

Xiaomi also could update the Miui version, so Miui 13 came with Android 11 for some devices, don't stay there, just check the Android version that is specified in a tab, at the download list.

Cpu-z indicate joyeuse-eea. Should be good.
Ok so I will delete the data partition and I will use fastboot flash using Xiaomi tool. I'm not sure to understand your answer about the SD card. Will it be erased during the process ? I know that sdcard are now crypted so that they could be used only by my phone. If the os is modified, maybe I won't be able to read it even if it is not formated. Don't you think ?

Just to not confuse, sdcard is the internal memory, that is symlinked as /data/media/0, all the internal memory is gone when we format data, some folders are recreated at the first boot, after performing it.
SD Card refers to Secure Digital card, that is an external media storage, it is absolutely excluded to any operation from Android, when flashing, updating the system or formatting data, of course, you should consider that some apps like camera can store its pictures there, previous authorization from user, but they will stay there yet, and some folder can be created too, at the first boot, but nothing that harms.
Just to know, sdcard as internal memory is not encrypted at all, it's accessible for any user, always, that can bypass the locking feature of the choice of the user, i.e. PIN, pattern, etc.
Thanks I didn't know that sdcard and SD card weren't the same. My concern is about external memory card (SD card). If not formated. I'm afraid that it couldn't be used after reboot. Except if the decryption key is linked to my phone (hardware) and not the software part (os) of my phone

The encryption is permanent since A6, it remains, at least, you can do something about it, using a custom recovery, a custom module, script, or something, nothing that the end user can worry about, for the normal use of the device.
Trying to guess, you did encrypt your SD card, then the encryption key is linked, only to your SD card, the SD card, specially, in newer Android versions, is treated as a privacy media user concern, so every time more, apps can't access to, as easy as the older times, it is RO by default.
Sorry I have difficulties to read and understand your last message as my English is bad.
Especially the second part... I don't encrypt anything myself. I just now that recent version of Android encrypt the sdcard and it couldn't be used in a computer for instance or another phone. So I think that maybe after new rom flashed. SD card won't be read or write from the phone and I will have to format it myself so that I can read it from my phone. Correct ?

Probably my English is worse than yours.

You are again mixing the terms, in the first part, you're saying "...recent version of Android encrypt the sdcard" and linking to the second part, you're saying "...after new rom flashed. SD card won't be read or write"
As I said to you previously /sdcard AKA internal storage is not encrypted at all, at any time, the fact that you need to authorize the MTP connection within your device and a PC, doesn't change that, if you or anyone else, have access to the Android interface, then you or anyone else, can see all the data/files/pictures/audio/video stored, in the internal storage, by using a file manager app, or a specific app for every file instance/format, i.e. a music player for videos/sounds/musics, a gallery app for pictures/images, and so on.
As per the SD card, the same, if the user (you, in this case), didn't encrypt it, then, Android, also, doesn't encrypt it, so you and anyone else, can access to the data stored in it, either during the OS functioning normally, and/or after the flashing/formatting process.
