[Miscellaneous Android Development] Free Radical:
MIUIv5 4.2.28 for Xolo Play T1000 by Free Radical

This is a port of the latest available MIUI v5 rom for the Xolo Play T1000 with libraries and files from the S018 official update, chinese MIUI port for the LA-Q1 courtesy apkhot.com and another port for the K-touch V8. Like the stock firmware, this is based on Jelly Bean 4.1.1.

Haven't included any third party app. Its all stock from Xiaomi.

Google Apps not included!

What's working:

EVERYTHING (fully functional and stable)

Known Issues and solutions:

For any graphic glitches, in Developer options toggle "Force GPU Rendering" to Off

Button backlight (need to toggle autobrightness or use a third party app like Soft Key backlight or Tasker from the Play store)

Changes:

Status bar transparency glitch on lockscreen fixed, see solution 1

Random graphic glitches fixed, see solution 1

Grey images from camera due to some obscure fault fixed

All sensors fixed, everything works

Updated libraries and kernel from official S018 Xolo update

Better GPS fixes and AGPS, first lock on should take around a minute and a half on an EDGE connection, optimized for Indian locales

Increased call volume (credit [MENTION=4343895]deepaktom[/MENTION])

Volume key wake set to default

Default storage set to external. Internal storage will be used as cache for optimal performance.

Notes:

For getting the stock Weather app to update, you need to install and configure WeatherBZ from the Play store. Live icons for both are included in the rom.

If you switching from another firmware, you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache from recovery before installing this rom.

If you are using my port (3.10.25 onwards), unless specified you needn't wipe, just install zip over the previous install and all your installed apps and games would still work)

Please do not use my 3.10.18 port. It was my first and experimental build for the Xolo Play and all bugs and issues have now been resolved.

To Do and shout outs to other developers:

Center clock, battery and carrier display mods

USB mass storage mode (dunno if it can be implemented now, may need kernel changes but ma be as glaringly simple as as a build.prop tweak)

Permanent fix for the button backlights (prolly only needs framework-apk changes, will try to fix when I get time)

Kernel rebuild from git source (? prolly when I get ample time. Very busy till December 2nd week)

To decipher the prop files I used in my port, simply run a diff between my port and yegui's LA-Q1 port.

Help me out by posting weekly updates. porting only takes a minute, Its the downloading and uploading which takes hours.

I may not have a developer tag here or any formal computer training but I have developed kernels for other devices like the Minix Neo G4 and ported many roms for the Spice Mi410 aka Huawei Ideos X6. Its high time we get a separate sub-forum here. you know what to do. ;)
