Hi everyone.

As we all know how popular the Xiaomi MI3 is, I was just wondering if there can be any possible Custom AOSP based rom for this device.

As we all know the Nexus 5 and Xiaomi MI3 have almost similar hardware would it be possible to port any nexus 5 roms to the MI3?

Agreed that Xiaomi doesn't release sources but is it possible to port something from nexus 5 due to similar hardware?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Simple answer is no. Without the kernel source code you can't get anything booting. Because they don't release the source code is the reason they have no forum and never will
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeet.somaiya:
Ohh I see. No point in having a forum if no source code is available.

By the way MIUI based custom roms can be developed right? Since they can use the stock kernel.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejoker:
But Many ROMs have been ported for Mediatek to medaitek based devices without having kernel sources
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
That they have but without any kernel source that is the best you will get. Is a port that may have bugs that can't be fixed (that the Og ROM doesn't have) due to no source. Also no kernel options like gov or over clocking ect.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeet.somaiya:
Varun chitre has already made an alpha build of cm11 for this device without the kernel sources.

And yeah Xiaomi will be releasing kernel sources later this year :)
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It maybe to late for this forum by then.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeet.somaiya:
Too late for what? Sorry I didn't get you.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to share my experience with this new case that I got last week, it's called Crusta, made by Amzer, I have used Amzer products in the past, but this case is something very different from their regular stuff I have used in the past.

Since, I have replaced 2 screens on my S5 in last 4 months, I really wanted to get something which protects the device, don't want to spend more money on repairs, initially thought of going ahead with OtterBox but I saw an ad on Facebook for Crusta. Having used Amzer in past, I ordered it (even got 25% off part of their promotion!)

Really loving the case, it is a bit on the bulky side, but not as much as an otter box, it is right mix of protection and style, they claim it is 6 feet drop proof, it did fall out of my pocket 2-3 times and no visible damage. The thing i really like about this case is that it came with a very nice and tough glass screen protector and a belt clip. Really neat bundle. The back of the case is very nice and stylish with clear backing. Only wished this case was waterproof, but for $45 its a great buy, I got yellow and black combo, but really good color options, lots of them.

If you are looking to get an otterbox, i would suggest you give this a try and save some money!

Have a look here - www.amzer.com/crusta

I will be posting pictures after I manage to get some decent pictures from my second phone :p
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] palolake:
I've been looking for a case/holster combination and just came across this one. I had previously ordered the Seidio Dilex and was not happy with it mainly because it is so slick. The Seidio adds quite a bit of bulk also but I think I'd be ok with that if it just wasn't so slippery. Can you tell me a little about the holster? I need something that holds the phone safely. I prefer holsters that rachet and need a little force to spin around. What do you think about this one?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] v3rn:
How'd you get 25% off? I'm interested in possibly ordering one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] TKS3:
Back2School is the code. It shows it right on the top of the amzer page
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] AlkaliV2:
So I also have the Seidio Dilex and I ordered a Crusta just to see what the differences were. Here's what I noticed aside from what the OP stated:

-The belt clip, where it attaches to the belt, has a lot tension so it grabs tightly

-It is a U-Clip on the clip, but instead of a solid piece it is two "teeth" that wrap underneath the belt

-Phone case seems to fit loosely when the screen is facing out/clips in very tightly with screen facing inward (I prefer screen facing in)**

-The rotating clip looks like a gear assembly. When you turn it, it settles into the grooves and won't spin so it is omni-directional

-Online photos looks like the camera would be touching if laid on its back. The outer edge of the case keeps it from touching so no worries there

-Heart rate sensor is easily accessed and works well. Fingerprint scanner will work, but you will have to be accurate since the rubber has no give

-The Amzer is thicker overall than the Seidio Dilex and probably the exact same width as the Seidio would be if the kickstand went all the way up

**Might just be my case, OP would have to chime in

My overall so far is that I like it, but I want to test out the belt holster more before I wholeheartedly recommend it. The case is good and I love the tempered glass screen protector that came with it. The rubber is not slick at all and has a fake stitching look around the front face for aesthetics I suppose? Also, with this case on it barely fits in my Nathan's runners belt. Granted it is the smallest runner's belt, but with the grippy case rubber around it I won't be able to easily take it in and out to change songs or answer calls after I get it in there.

I'd like to post some pictures, but I need some suggestions of the best place to upload them for posting here? I just wondered what others would use and if you would like any specific pictures I am happy to oblige. I'll do a breakdown and couple of size comparison shots with the Dilex.

Edit: I personally won't be using the fingerprint scanner because as I found out, it you register a fingerprint while the case is on you should be able to unlock it. If you register it with the case off and put the case on, it most likely won't accept the scan. My experience was scanning in a fingerprint with the case on and took the case off to take pictures and it wouldn't take my fingerprint at that depth. If you are never going to take the case off this may work for you. However if you have pre-registered fingerprints and you put the case on you may lock yourself out. Just my experience.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cupcake2301:
I would suggest this case for sure, though I don't buckle the phone to my waist much, but the holster is really nice and high quality, the clip for rotation is also very smooth but at the same time not 'loose'. The video on their site says to put the phone face in for best results, but even face out is ok, the holster really holds the phone in really well.

My past experience with a seidio case for my S4 wasn't that great either, they tear up after some time and the support team is really not upto the mark. This case is not exactly thin, but it's a lot less than Otterbox, also this case has very very good grip on the TPR ring they have provided, so it won't be slippery like Seidio for sure.

I ordered during the independence day sale, i think they have back to school sale right now, which i'm going to use to order a case for my friend's iPhone 5s for which they have the crusta now. Try code BACK2SCHOOL - might work.

I will try to post some pictures today.

Regarding the Amzer Crusta!!!!

OMG that case is beautiful. Just looked online. That is absolutely a find. Called then and long to order.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] AlkaliV2:
I made an Imgur album with 18 pictures of the case. I added captions to a few of them to make more sense of what you're looking at. I hope this helps anyone looking to purchase this and if you have questions, just ask.

I found this setting in the registry to show the UMTS band, it will also let you switch between UMTS and Edge.. now i have fully tested this yet since i live in a edge area and work in a umts area.. havent been to work yet today, but i made a cab for it, after installing this cab the menu is listed in settings/phone/ band tab

i forgot to mention this reg hack came from my cingular 8525 but dont see why the other hermes would be any different
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] MCFADONNA:
I know im a total Newb but i would lke to turn off the UMTS or find the switch to it. Living in Denver there is no UMTS yet so i would like to be able to turn it on or off. I was looking for it yesterday and couldnt find it. I have the 8525 also please help . thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
install this reg hack then you can fix your phone to GSM(edge) instead of wcdma
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] MCFADONNA:
Ok so i link my pc and the 8525 via usb or bluetooth. Load the file on the 8525 and run it? Is it able to run this and install without unlocking it? Im just trying to gather all the info i can before doing anything to it. I plan on unlocking it but still have a lot more reading to do. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
yes just transfer it to your phone and click it, it will install the reg entry
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cjmedina:
works good thanks now i can stay on 3g when streaming instead of shifting to gsm
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mbn:
Will this edit allow me to manually go back and forth between Edge and UMTS?

Can you tell me the location of the key you edited?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
yes it will allow you to switch, the reg key is

HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting change the value from 0 to 1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mbn:
Awesome. Thanks very much for your reply.

I now have 2 drop down menus in the band tab under settings.

Select your network type with 3 choices:

1) Auto

2) GSM

3) WCDMA (Does WCDMA=UMTS, or 3G?)

Select your GSM/UMTS band:

1) Auto

2) GSM (900+1800)+UMTS(2100)

3) GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

4) UMTS(2100+800)

I'm on Cingular so I'd like to know which GSM band to use when I want to specify for my phone to only use GSM.

This could potentially save a large amount of battery resources for me and others that don't need 3G unless we really need the blazing speed...

Also, do you have to soft reset for the settings to take effect?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
that reg hack will give you the Band option in the phone settings, in there you can toggle back and forth
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mbn:
I edited my previous post which you VERY quickly replied to. Thanks for the fast response.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
lol anyway, im not sure, i havent actually used the feature yet... but the wcdma does = 3g, umts.. and i think cingular in the use is 900 1800.. but try them one by one till you hit the right one.. and you shouldnt have to soft reset
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mbn:
Band setting that worked for me on Cingular is:

GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

I needed to stop all 'data calls' before it will allow the change so I went into memory under settings and stopped all programs that are data - for me it was Goodlink (called 'email' under the running programs). Then I put it into flight mode by clicking on the signal bar icon, waited a few seconds, and then turned flight mode off. That seemed to clear the data call. After turning off flight mode and waiting the 15 seconds before it will allow me to click on 'settings' in that dialog box, I made the switch to GSM.

To switch back to UMTS, I just repeated the steps.

This is a useful hack. Now I can test whether the poor battery life issue is Goodlink, or UMTS.

Thanks Shogun
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] MCFADONNA:
Ok one more newb question! I unzipped it and it has two files. 0001 file and an html file. Do i load one of these and run it or do i load the hole zip file on to the 8525 and click it? Dont laugh its the first time i will load something on it. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
there should only be 1 file in that zip, should only be a cab file... if there are more then disregard the others and only load the cab file...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rayzer1:
He did the same thing I did. When you unzip it, it says .cab file but winzip still shows the winzip icon on it and he unzipped it again. Just drag/copy the .cab file over only unzipping it one time!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
oh ok, i thought i must have somehow added more files then i needed... thanks for clearing that up
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] conqoror:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] paulclo:
Another newboe here. I downloaded this file, unzipped it but it is not a .cab file. it is something 000 file type. The file name is SHOWUM~1.000 and the file type is an 000 file with 1 kb. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
try reading the other replies in this thread for your answer
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] paulclo:
Well, as I said, I am new - I ha rea through the last two pages of threads and unzipped the file many times but still got the same result before I asked.

Doesn't matter how many times I unzipped it, it still gives me the same unknown file of 000 file type. I don't get a .cab file like I would ormally get from other downloads.

Feel kind of helpless.

Thanks for your prompt response anyway and thank you for your time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
you only need to unzip the downloaded file once, there is one file in there, even though its pulling a zip or rar icon, it does not need to be unzipped again, its a .cab file.. you drop the .cab file on your phone and tick it to install it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] paulclo:
Now, I have got it. Many thanks.

I guess I had been confused by the zip extension of the file even after it has been unzipped.

Thanks again for your lightning fast response. Much appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nutnbolt:
Hmm I tried this and when I try to switch to WCDMA, it brings up a pop up saying.

I would like to do exactly the same thing as you (stay on 3g all the time for streaming.)

Is anyone able to force 3g in this board that is on UK T-Mobile with an MDA Vario II?

My options in Settings/Phone/Band are -

Network Type-

Auto

GSM

GSM/UMTS Band-

Auto

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)

GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

Unless I'm missing something there doesn't appear to be any option to force 3g. I'm thinking maybe adding a registry key to include a 3g option would do the trick.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rsolomon:
I'm guessing you need a special 3G SIM or 3G provisioning on your account to make it work then - have you ever see the "U" symbol instead of the "G" symbol? Even on the brain-dead Cingular network selection, this enables Auto/GSM/WCDMA so I wonder if you have a SIM/account issue not a phone issue?
