Fixed the issue by installing 'Siine Keyboard' from MI market. Now I am able to use the phone.

Right now trying to figure out how to remove all the Chinese bolatwares. I want to uninstall all the MI apps like MICloud, MI Forum, some Chinese apps, MI Market, MI Theme manager etc. Don't want to risk my data. Have also downloaded the 'Network Connection' app to trace suspicious connections.

can anyone guide me how to uninstall the system apps? Tried uninstalling these apps using lucky patcher but the apps again come back. :eek:

EDIT : How to root this ROM? apps require root aren't running n the ROM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Open the security app, you'll see an option called "Permissions".

You'll be able to enable root access from there. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Now using hungry build :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Can you tell how much system space it is taking by looking at file manager??
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
It's below 500MB.

Roughly 350MB.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Not working? There is permission option in settings>security>privacy settings. I turned it on but still no luck? I don't think this one will work. There should be some other permission setting.
[Motorola Atrix 2] manishgkasera:
gapps link

can someone please point me to the right gapps link,

flashed the bank gapps and after that getting fcs on download manager, android.process.media.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Wrong thing bro, I'm talking about the security app that comes bundled with Miui.
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Miui has its own built in superuser app..forgot the name though..just wait till i install it..will help you out..been a while since i used miui
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
The superuser app is called "Security"!

You should see it on your homescreen.

It looks like this :

Screenshot
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Solved the superuser issue and could access the root.

Anyways its an interesting ROM, no doubt in that but its massively bloated and my network traces hint that it acts like an spyware. The news we heard aren't baseless. I see many of connections in 'Red colored warning' messages about data abuse in the 'Network Connection' app. Most of the apps are named in such a way that the user thinks its a system app and shouldn't be touched.

Everyone be careful before setting up your primary accounts and other private data in this ROM, remove everything before using the ROM. I have been sitting with my phone since last 2-3 hours just to figure out and clean the suspicious activities. Still cleaning. :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Haha you think Google is secure??..truth is Google, Facebook etc know more about our girlfriends than we do:p..Google also sends so called anonymous data to its servers..its no big deal;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I know that but there is one thing with Google and such apps that they ask for permission. I have also traced the other ROMs also and all the connections were familiar in them. But here I haven't even set any account or made any setting and still I see whole lot of connections without my permission. Each and every app is collecting data. The network app also indicates that the connections are suspicious. If you wan tto see then install the network connection app and keep eye on the connections and IPs in other ROMs and in the MIUI. Its not only about user's privacy, but its also about data of one country going to another, hope you understand what I mean.

Please go through this : http://www.india.com/whatever/xiaom...ent-using-the-handset-to-spy-on-users-106713/
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
If I remember correctly, there's an option to stop stop sending anonymous data to Xiaomi.

Let me check, I'll post screenies if I find it. :P

EDIT:

Yeah, there seems to be an option in Setings>Security under the name "User Experience".

Could someone try it and report?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Yes sir, this was one of the first thing which I did. As I said, please install the 'network connection' app form play store and keep your internet on and let the trace for a while. Do same thing in the MIUI and repeat same thing in any other normal ROM. You will understand that lot of connections get established without even your permissions in the MIUI ROM. These are not 1 or 2 could based services, rather many hidden things.

Now I have uninstalled almost everything form the ROM, even most of the apps which are related to the features of this ROM, then I only can see bit of relief.
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
How did you uninstall system apps using which tool?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
First you need root access then you can freeze them using tools like Titanium backup or LuckyPatcher etc . First I tried uninstalling but it created problems so I reinsalled the ROM and frozen them. It would be better if you keep the network connections app running in background and keep tracing the connections, then freeze every activity which connects to suspicious servers.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
After long time... I have installed any new ROM in my A2 !! :p

Thanks a lot for this great ROM :good::good:

I'll let you know my experience about it :victory:

Edit 1: Phone is entering in deep sleep :laugh:
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Just so you guys know, the newest santajin build is JBX compatible ;)

The performance is awesome with JBX so far :D

Try it out! :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Which settings to choose in JBX kernel :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Firstly, be sure to install on a non main system.

If you install MIUI+JBX on system 1, you'll lose bmm. [I just learnt that btw. FXZ'ing now.]

Secondly,

Install it normally like you would on cyanogenmod. :)

Same settings, no differences :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
[MENTION=4885719]thehurricaneguy[/MENTION] after installing miui use titanium backup to delete system apps and make space..then you can flash JBX..the Hungarian build after flashing takes up about 435 mb from system space..in it even after deleting system apps i think JBX is out of the question..
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Even better,

You can install Miui + JBX on system 1 WITHOUT ANY GAPPS.

After it boots up, you can open the MiStore and download the "Google Installer" package from it. ;)

That should install the gapps for you ;)

I've tried it and it works! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
After seeing posts about JBX kernel, I flashed the JBX kernel on my system 3 where my MIUI ROM was. But the phone refused to boot up, even the system 1 also didn't boot. :eek:

Finally had to destroy system, data and cache partition images form system 3 then only I could boot my daily runner system 1.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Hmm, That's weird.. :/

I'm able to boot up just fine :/ :/

Which build are you using?

Santajin or Hungary?

EDIT:

Btw, if you're installing Miui with Gapps and you're planning to install JBX, your system partition needs to be at least 650MB..

500MB is enough if you're not going to install Gapps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Its the Santajin built posted in this thread itself, And AFAIK I created 650MB partition since I checked the size of the unzipped contents of the ROM and GAPPS which turned out too big to fit in any partition under 500MB.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Hmm :/

That's strange. :/

Could you please try again and report?

EDIT:

Use the latest test build of JBX
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham412302:
flash core gapps and you will still have 20mb system memory left
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Could you provide a link?

I've searched but the smallest gapps package I could find was the last BaNkS minimal.. :/

Even that caused me to lose bmm :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
Switch to ART in MIUI V5 :fingers-crossed:

Can anyone try this ? :confused:

(I forgot my A2 at home, I'll try this at evening)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Installed in system 5 after FXZ and wow baidu input is in the ROM :/ why it didn't come in system 3 :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Baidu input was there in system 3 in my phone also but it wasn't appearing as option during boot, neither I could see it in the settings. I even reflashed but it still didn't appear.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
but in system 5 its appearing now :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Basmatek:
Is there any way to view free-used RAM in Apps/Running Services? The Ram bar at the bottom of the screen is missing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Go in system settings>apps> and click "Running" tab.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Basmatek:
I'm at the Running tab but total free and used ram view graph is not there like it is in every other ROM .
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
v 4.9.5 available now :)

Edit: ChangeLog

http://en.miui.com/thread-41564-1-1.html
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Oh good, I was just going to ask if anybody else got the OTA :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Can i install OTA over JBX ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
I'm not really sure :/

I'll try it and let you know.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Try that out because its failed on my side :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Yeah, failed for me too.

If you want to update to the newest build:

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Format /system

3. flash the new build

4. Flash Gapps OR only JBX if installing on system 1.

5. Reboot.

Also, just in case, reinstall bmm from the system keeper menu.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham412302:
the latest build is stable but consumes large amount of system memory so donot flash any gapps

get google installer and install all apps from google installer.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
+1 update is stable !! :good:

installed rom + mim gapps---> downloaded and installed ota !!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
It sucks too much RAM :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Greenify helps a little bit ;)

I haven't updated yet. :D

I'll update to the next weekly. :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
What does Greenify do :/ I Didn't use this tool as of yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
OMG!!!

I rooted my Atrix 2 for the first time so that i can try greenify out

And Greenify is also the first App that i install everytime i flash a new ROM

It does miracles on yopur battery and your RAM in the long RUN !!

I am thinking of a switch to MIUI after being on Carbon for so long

BTW a question for all who tried out...which MIUI build is more stable ?? this one or the MIUI MSB KK 4.9.5 by kacsa105
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Use santajin's build :)

It's more stable than the Hungary one as of now.

Sent from my MB865
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
umm satajin's build as in ??

can you link me :mad::mad:
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
This one
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Check the OP
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Okay, I baked JBX into santajin's 4.9.5 build.

Does anybody want to help me test it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Sure...link me here your baked build
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Okay click HERE.

What I want you guys to do is :

1. Create a fresh system with 500MB system partition and flash ONLY the above zip. (No Gapps)

2. Boot into that system, go to about phone and tell me if the kernel is JBX or not. (If unsure, then just post a screenshot)

3. If it boots up on that system, then you can try installing it on system 1. (It worked for me, but I'm still not sure, keep an fxz ready just in case.)

Remember to format the /system partition before flashing onto system 1. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
OMG!! 287 MB...are Gapps included ??
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Nope, It's just Miui + JBX.

You gotta install Gapps via Google Installer afterwards.

Plus, 287MB was the lowest I could go without deleting too many system apps...

I had to get rid of the AOSP keyboard.

Baidu input works though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
I like AOSP keyboard :) currently using 4.9.5 with default Kernel :) because of weekly builds :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
I'm gonna be uploading the weekly's with JBX baked in :)

Default kernel runs slow for me :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
Jbx heats up the phone quite quickly :(

How's the ram management in new build???
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Well, Jbx doesn't overheat much for me.

In the new build, I have around 220MB ram free at any given moment.

I have greenify running in boost mode, so maybe that's helping.

Did you try the newest JBX test build?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
I am ok with built in kernel will try JBX some other day :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Hi...tanks for the Baked build....I checked in Kernel version and it shows JBX 3.0.31...phone is fast and stable and Battery good....I wonder which version of JBX you used..can u link me to the version of JBX used by you ??

I thing weird..I couldnt get HDMI ON/OFF app by [MENTION=2372465]ShurikKb[/MENTION] to work on this build....Strange because thsi widget works only with JBX..it should work on you build too

Well this is my first MIUI ROM...So no app launcher BUMS me out..te feel and look of UI is great but i cant figure how to make BAIDU INPUT all english.....

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
This is the version of JBX that I used : Click Here

And about HDMI, I've had the same problem too.

Here's a workaround :

Connect your phone to your PC and make sure usb debugging is on.

after that, open terminal and type :

adb shell

After that :

To Switch HDMI off :

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active

To Switch HDMI on :

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/hdmi/hdmi_active

Btw, should I continue uploading JBX baked builds?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I never understood where to open the terminal when people say open the terminal after connecting the phone to PC? On the PC or on the Phone? If computer then is it 'command prompt' in the Windows or 'terminal' in the Linux? :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
i think its terminal of mobile because of sys :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
It's called command prompt in windows :P

and terminal in linux. :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
Battery Life in Idle or deep sleep with in built kernel of 4.9.5 !!
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Yes definitely...JBX is soo smooth it makes the MIUI interface Iphoneish :D

Great job

22hrs on No or Unknown signal :p

Its same as that on CM kernel....
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
He's using the CM kernel dude. :laugh:

On JBX, I lost 10% in 4 hours. :P

It seems awesome so far :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
yes built in kernel

(one more screen shot)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Now look, I am again left confused !!! :confused:

Both of you guys are replying with different answers and I am yet to figure out what exactly it is. :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
Can anyone upload mirror for latest weekly?
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Here!

Download the Cooperation Build. (3rd one from the top)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
I guess it the same file source... Very slow download :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
You can download the jbx version from my drive :)

The link should be in one of the pervious pages :)

Page 51 I think. :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] adnanschat:
I want to test miui but before that please get rid of everything Chinese in this ROM. everything as in everything. And the default browser of this ROM sucks too. Replace it. Please. thanks. Also please make sure NFS most wanted runs on this ROM.

[Motorola Atrix 2] hazard_puppet:
can i update through built in updater?

i cant use flashlight one lockscreen, on my mi3 holding the home button will turn on the flashlight, any advice?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
I'm getting 15-20kbps :(

Can u upload it somewhere on weekly basis and share?? :p

Jbx heats up my phone very quickly to 39-40°C.. Yes latest build too...

So i stay away from jbx...

Plus many a times aftr 2-3 days of continuous use of any kexec rom.... I get com.android.process something error which annoys me..so i jump back to jb leak 3 :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
1. Yes, I intend to upload the JBX version weekly.

2. Did you try undervolting? I'm having fantastic results on JBX right now.

3. I've never had that problem so far.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Basmatek:
Is there any way to replace the Chinese phone directory tab with an English favorites tab or remove it completely?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
thehurricaneguy is right :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Enable root and disable/freeze/delete using titanium backup or lucky patcher. Rather there are lot of bloats which even establish connections to Chines servers, put your personal info on risk and keep running in background which you you can disable and phone will become more responsive after that. We had a long discussion few page back, please go trough the thread.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Basmatek:
Thanks, i will install a different phone-dialer app and freeze the system apps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I didn't notice any such issue with the dialer as a whole and that looks beautiful. You just need to freeze/uninstall the directory and it won't appear in the dialer and all will become well.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Basmatek:
I downloaded exdialer which is a miui style contacts-phone app, so i can have my favorites tab back. It's fast and blends well. I will convert it to system app and uninstall the native dialer-contacts apk.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
Guys,

please don't install gapps if you are installing on system 1, it'll cause a softbrick.

Install gapps from the Mi Market.

Search for Google Installer.

that should set you up with the minimal package.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
New Miui[JBX] test build is up!! :D

It's still on Miui 4.9.5. though.

I got rid of MiCloud and Xiaomi Framework Services and replaced most system apps with their google counterparts. :)

This should decrease the lag and free up more ram. :)

Also, Gapps is integrated in this build, and it can be installed on System 1 :)

Download Link is in the OP, or you can just click here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Upon further experimentation, I've felt that freezing or deletion of the O2O.apk in /system/app directory gives better speed and performance.

Not sure if placebo or actual performance boost :P

can someone try it out? :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
I'll try it and let you know.. (on your miui-jbx-stripped version)

Also I got 4.9.12 weekly update notification !!
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Cool, thanks! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
feels like phone has become some what lag less by doing this

And Yes RAM usage is decreased, more free RAM !! :victory: :laugh:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
Using sntajin build will install JBX built soon, AOSP keyboard is in the build or not ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
there is no keyboard in that stripped miui build

I installed this 406kb android L keyboard

[Sorry off the topic]

[I have this Xiaomi redmi 1s official with MIUI V5, compared to it miui on our atrix 2 lags sometimes]
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
We can't compare MIUI on Xiaomi devices with others.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
Yes. I know ours is ported or source built (not official)

But I am practically experiencing it here :p

I can say with JBX performance is lot improved as compared with CM kernel !! :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
Yeah, sorry about that, I think I removed that apk that was responsible for baidu input. :P

I'll include Google Keyboard from the next build. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
Facing black screen issue with 'ondemandx/sioplus' governor !!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:

Yesterday night while going to bed... I checked my phone A2 hav almost 80% battery... but today morning when I woke up ... battery is completely drained .... just in 7 to 8 hrs !! :(

I guess this may have happen because of unlucky reboot :p and phone didn't entered deep sleep mode, not because of jbx ?? :confused:

I'll try this SmartassV2 governor today

EDIT 1: As soon as my phone entered deep sleep. I am loosing my gsm network

Even after every restart, phone is showing network but as soon as it entered deep sleep, it looses network

EDIT 2: This is happening with all rom's on other systems, except with stock ICS on sys 1 !!

[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
NO...no you don't have to.

just flash the miui-ota-atrix2-3.7.12-3.7.19-5e93b1b0c5_4.1.zip, and wipe cache and dalvik cahce partitions (factory reset not needed). Reboot.

You are good to go after that ;).

NOTE: THIS IS FOR UPGRADE INSTALL ONLY. As you are already on 3.7.12 you can install it this way.

Its only 8mb.. and uhh.. i did fladh it.. but nothing seems to change.. my version didnt change too..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
Strange i just did flash it myself. The version number has changed to 3.7.19.

It's 8mb i do agree, but it's 8mb full of changes. Just installs the what is needed to be changed from the previous version.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
Then i'll do the overkill flash.. wish me luck..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
Good luck :good:. Make sure you flash gapps after the update zip. If you were using gapps that is. Just follow the steps in the OP. THat shoud be enough ;)

How stable the V5 rom for daily use? Now I use a JB Leak 1's rom. Previously I use MIUI v4, and I liked the features and functions.

I also asked, because I previously translated the "official" JB leak 1,2 & 3 roms from English to Hungarian and i'm thinking about it to translate the MIUI V5 rom.
