For those using PE or Descendant, encryption is working using non-numerical unlock method (I discovered this bug right now)

I found this chart on Reddit by GoldenReview, the main purpose wasn't this but for me it serves to clearly some stuff:

Comparing SD865 with SD888:

Snapdragon 865 has a better Performance/Watt ratio on big cores and almost the same on mid cores, this means that we can squeeze more stable performance which at my point of view matters more that raw performance, due to the thermal throttling. Longer gaming seasons should be stable on 865/+ than a 888.

I just a pleasure to see how well refined is 7nm process of qcom in comparison to the new 5nm they are using.

⚠️ Announces ⚠️

For next PE & Descendant Update:
* Support for OSS dtbo.img
* Tweaked screen's cmd to achieve better accuracy on FOD
* Support for 77Hz Overclock with a menu to toggle ON (Only PE)
* Tweaked porch values of screen to reduce latency on input.

Update retired because is not working OC on most devices, I will launch another once I find the issue related to

Pixel Experience Update reuploaded:

Changelog:

- Using OSS dtbo
- Improved ELVSS params for FOD
- Added a menu to change panel framerate to 77hz (need to change device model for CN devices)
- Improved FOD
- Feb Security Patch

NOTES:

• Don't forget to change the device props using magisk if your device is CN
• Thanks to chinese users for find the fix

Some notes regarding the refresh rate stuff:

- Please DO NOT annoy other devs about refresh rate if they don't support
- Don't talk about refresh rate of MIUI, because is not something made from me.
- English is the official language here, even if you think is bad we can support you rather than other language.
- Green tint is not fixable or at least not soon.
- FOD Flashbang was a mistake it was deleted due tu PE source resync 😐 and I didn't notice it.

New PE Update is out!

Changelog:
- Fixed FOD Flashbang
- Define a clk-strength of 0xFF

This should address stable fps at 77hz

NOTE:
- Refresh rate issues with using other props haven't been addressed, please if possible send logcat to see if something spots there.
- Don't spam Xiaomi about this issues of the ROM as they will not help to solve

For people interested to talk about overclocking stuff for general roms, be sure to join to @lmi_group

Next update for PE will have several fixes for the issues and of course more FOD improvements, like this. Speed of reading FOD is more than latest update.

Next PE Update with OSS Kernel 😊

Bug:
Decrypt currently will work only if recovery get booted by fastboot.

#######################
Everything else including otg, sideload and fastbootd should work.

Notes:
The release for Umi based on 12.1.5 is completely useful, decrypt will work also if permanently flashed but unusable on later vendor versions.

Command to Boot for worful Decrypt :
fastboot boot MB_.*.img

Thanks to Teamwin and to @whyle for f2fs fix

If you want offer me a coffee https://www.paypal.me/manuelbiancodev

also, decryption is working out of the box even with pattern, there is no need to use the described method (at least with the roms built with my trees).
