Permission problems with OpenTasks sync on MIUI 12.5.13 (Android 11) #603
-
|
I have given DAVx5 all permissions as well as OpenTasks, added the app to autostart and followed every possible step I could find in the guidelines. Yet, the suggested permission settings as shown in the screenshot are not available on MIUI 12.5.13 as of now. It is impossible to activate the switches OpenTasks permissions or All of the below. I had also checked dontkillmyapp.com to no avail. The debug logs do not tell me a lot either, but that might be related to MIUI being a clusterf* and their logging isn't that great. Unfortunately I cannot deactivate MIUI Optimizations, as then all my Chinese apps stop working properly. Show screenshot

Do you actually use OpenTasks / does it work with tasks.org, for instance? OpenTasks is not maintained anyway. |

I see the same behaviour with the Tasks.org application. I had installed Open Tasks ages ago, thus the notification "Open Tasks is not maintained anymore" did not pop up, only when I set up DAVx5 on my wife's phone. I have to add we are both using domestic Chinese Xiaomi phones (Redmi branding; not EU edition), which do not use the GApps framework / only the AOSP componens. Interestingly, these errors do not occur on my - also Xiaomi - Pocophone EU edition. Confirmed errors on MIUI 12.x, 13.x, 14.x. I suck at debugging Android software, if you could point me into the right direction, I would dig deeper into it. |

Same problem and I'm looking for solution. I've tried jtx board and tasks.org, and davx5 cannot grant permission to these two apps. However, they works fine on my oneplus 6T. |

Can you install a custom ROM? |

Using a custom ROM can definitely solve the problem, but it's a bit difficult to unlock bootloader. |

Seems like the devices are intentionally broken by the vendors, so I guess: no. If someone has a workaround, please let us know… |

Turn off MIUI Optimization/System Optimization (on Mi HyperOS) in the Developer setting, Configure Task permission as needed, and then turn the Optimization back on. |

I believe this is a feasible approach. MIUI Optimization does deeply modify some Android system settings, sometimes I have to turn off it to change some system settings. I'll try this method on my Redmi K70 later and report result here. Thank you for your idea. |

This method works fine on my Redmi K70 (HyperOS), thank you so much. |

MIUI or HyperOS is weird sometimes, but it does not actively hinder users by removing necessary code for functions presenting in native AOSP. With some care it will present the function without extensive tinkering like root or installing Xposed modules. |

Turn off MIUI Optimization/System Optimization (on Mi HyperOS) in the Developer setting, Configure Task permission as needed, and then turn the Optimization back on.
The custom Setting implemented a different "App Info" activity and blocked access to this setting, but the underlying code has not been removed. Turning back to the native App Info page reveals it. From what I tested the setting would not reset after turning the Optimization back on.
Notice that you have no access from the system Setting app even after turning off the Optimization, use "Open permission" in DAVx5, or utilize other apps to open the hidden activities.
