Highlights & Device Specific Changes:

===================================

Build type: Final

Device: Redmi Note 8 Pro (begonia)
A-10 device maintainer: TTTT555
Support chat (TG): https://t.me/crDroidBegonia

Notes:
- Recomended install fastboot version of MIUI A10 before.
- If you have bootloop after installation, try format data again or to change GAPPS
or flash MIUI and try again.
- Reboot after a clean install and initial setup so that the BegoniaParts item
appears in the settings.
- GAPPS and Google Photo required for G-Cams. Opengapps recomended [ARM64 Pico or
Nano (for OK Google)].
- If you will use Viper FX, then do not forget to enable legacy mode in the
application settings.
- If you will use the built-in G-Cams, do not forget to apply configs (three taps
between the camshot button and gallery button). If the camera does not find the
built-in configs, just reboot the device and try again.
- If you OFF James DSP after ON, reenable Dirac (OFF/ON), if you need it.
- If you OFF G-cam 64 after ON, reboot the device, otherwise bugs are possible.
- ANX cam: If you have problems with a wide angle camera - just turn off the lens
distortion correction function, or set the mode to 9/16.
- If you have sound crackles, try ON OFF James DSP.
- You can find additional kernels in the support chat (with ALMK, reduced voltage
etc.)
