Go to faq thread, pm OP to edit, report post to mods giving them the reason and info.

If either of them agree to the changes it will be done bu please stop hijacking others post, also asking the mods or admin to do something in a normal post tons of time will not get it done.

This is a collection thread of the Fastboot ROMs files for Mi1/1S/2/2S/2A/3/Pad.

"http://en.miui.com/thread-14641-1-1.html"

Fastboot is one way to flash ROMs to your phone, it's safer than flashing in Recovery mode. Different phones enter Fastboot mode differently, e.g. for Xiaomi devices, you should turn off your phone, and hold the Volume+ & the Power button at the same time. You could find the way for you device using Google. When flashing ROMs in fastboot mode, you should connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.

The files are arranged reverse from the latest ROM version, please pay attention when downloading.

You could use Ctrl + F to quickly find the ROM version you're looking for.

Does this device consume too much of battery? I have checked for apps consuming battery when device is sleeping, but could not find any app keeping it awake.

Data 2G and wifi,when on, consumes too much battery, it seems to me.

Thanks
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiki667:
Battery is just fine, I can get about a day of normal usage. What is your status?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] observingi:
I use leandroid to toggle net connectivity. It turns wifi/data on every 10 minutes for 2 minutes. Connectivity stays on if screen unlocked (turns data off when screen locked again)

Even with this managed use and screen time of around 2 hours, battery gets down to almost 50% in around 7-8 hours.

I am coming from an MTK device, MTK was really power efficient.

However, I have read that play store services till ver 5 is buggy and battery hog on Kikkat.

How are we supposed to update Play Store Service to the latest version?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumandash:
The device runs fur 16 hours with 3hr SOT for me on 3g. But if I keep it overnite it drains about 20-25%. Play service and Android system consumes maximum.

MEDIATEK was really battery efficient....This device consumes a lot of battery....Use greenify if u r rooted...and hibernate all google apps....
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nagass:
Now I am at 39% with 3.5 hrs of screen on and wifi always on, everything stock...this device has really good battery life, if you want to talk about a device that consumes a lot look at the LG 4X.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prateek.khurana31:
wifi consumes less battery....M on mobile data and battery lasts for 12 hrs.. max with 2 hrs of on screen time.... :(
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
Just use Greenify and Unbounce. Initially when I had the phone, I too had a battery problem, which was much worse than yours. My phone would reach 20 percent in 7 hours with 2 hours of SOT.

Now after using Greenify + unbounce (xposed module), I have around 4-5 hours of SOT with 20-22 hours of Standby. Battery increased almost 3x. And this is with everything enabled - 3G, Sync, All location services, Google Now and no WiFi. With WiFi on, I probably get around 6 hours of SOT and around 24-26 hours of SOT.

P.S Make sure that you read in detail about unbounce. This is what made a huge increase in my battery.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] observingi:
Even I am using Greenify. Installed unbounce recently, it's a bit technical to decide which all entries to unbounce, so I may not be able to tune it to the best.

Any specific entries you think should be unbounced?

Also how to update to latest google play services? Why is the system not updating automatically to latest version? I think ver 4.9x is installed on Moto G.

Thanks
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
Hi, I've attached the screenshots. Your usage may vary.

For more help, you can look at the spreadsheet. The link is in the unbounce description

One thing I can tell you is that don't unbounce audiomix. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to play music in the background.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prateek.khurana31:
You have a donation package of unbounce?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabboplano:
How does Unbounce work? I installed it but I can't understand what it does lol

I tried Greenify (couldn't freeze system apps and too lazy to search/pay to do that) DS Battery something (Xposed module, made my battery worse) and Intelli3G (italian translations are so bad that I can't understand what I'm toggling)

My life saver is LeanDroid atm, one of the few battery saving apps that actually works
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahendru1992:
Yup bought it

Personally I really don't like any battery saving apps. They create more problems than actually solve them.

To greenify system apps you need to buy the donation app from the play store. Worth it IMO. Buying the donation package also automatically optimizes some apps (a feature I didn't know until today)

Now for unbounce:-

I'm guessing you know what wakelocks and alarms are right?

Basically unbounce just delays the wakelocks and alarms for a defined period of time, thereby saving tons of battery life. For instance the location wakelock by default is set to 60 seconds. I've defined the time to about 900 seconds. Think how much battery this saves eh.

Just read whatever is written in the unbounce description in its thread carefully and also a couple of pages to get a better idea. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prateek.khurana31:
Hey with your advice I bought the donation package of unbounce...can you please give me a detailed screenshot of all the settings u r using in unbounce?

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

It may seem a too noobish question...but I had to ask this as I never needed these kind of apps on my last device...moto g2 is giving me a hard time.

CAN U PLEASE SHARE SCREENSHOTS OF ALL YOUR SETTINGS IN GREENIFY(DONATION) and UNBOUNCE PRO??? I understand that our usage will be different but still it will help me save some juice
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] observingi:
When I check the battery chart, wifi shows full blue bar, even for periods when it was off :(

Guys this is how my moto g 2nd gen battery is draining. It consumed almost 50% battery within less than 2hr. I constantly used 3g network, wifi scanning on, 1hr screen on plus browsing and 30 mins of music play.

It doesn't seems normal to me. Please suggest is it draining too much. If so I will replace it on flipkart.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CAG-man:
I have not installed Facebook onto my tablet. I will do so to see if there are any changes I can do to make it work with my kitkat CAGrom. However, most likely you may want to send feedback to facebook, which can be done on their main website for desktops. It may be an issue for all intel devices on kit kat. I am not sure.

As for the SD-card notification. It is part of what samsung put in. So on the stock firmware it will always be present. restl3ss has worked on the fix for pimpdroid and I am doing the same for CAGrom.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quijote1:
Hmmm, I have a p5220 and recently flashed the KitKat stock rom cleaned up and rooted by Restl3ss. Facebook works fine. But Gallery force closes. I use Quickpic so it doesn't bother me.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BubbaRob1978:
Hi All,

I've been debating on an M8 for a while. I'm coming from a Note 3 that cannot seem to hold a 4G signal even in very good LTE coverage areas. I am on my second Note 3 due to this issue. I really like the M8 and it's loud speakers and wouldn't mind a bit smaller screen overall compared to the Note 3. It seems the M8 can be had for a decent price so I just wondered if it's still a worthy purchase since it's about 7 months old now.

Also, do you think I'll get similar battery life to my Note 3 (about a day of moderate to heavy usage) with the M8? Anything I should be aware of before purchase? I don't root so I'll be using it as it comes from Verizon. My biggest hope is a better signal and radio reception as the Note 3 sucks. I never had such an issue with signal until I got the Note 3.

Thanks for the info,

Rob
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
The M8 still holds its own exceedingly well and I do believe it's still worthy of consideration. Namely due to the speakers which you just can't get that experience on any other phone, on Verizon at least.

As far as battery life goes, I'd label the M8 as an above average performer. I'm not sure if it will meet the same spec as the note 3 here, but it certainly is one of the longer lasting phones I've used. Expect 5-6 hours of constant on-screen LTE usage. It has been known to even last longer than the S5's slightly bigger 2800mah so HTC worked some magic in power management it seems.

I've not had signal issues with this phone but this is impossible to gauge on a case by case basis. Everyone lives in different areas with different signal strengths and will have different experiences with it.

Rooting is very possible through S-Off methods though I believe the current working method isn't free. The creators ask $25 for each unlock, which while not completely unreasonable could be a turn off to some.

That being said, in all honesty if it were me purchasing a new phone at this current time, I'd wait to see what the deal with the Nexus 6 and the Droid Turbo is. I probably wouldn't opt for the nexus 6 as I don't prefer to place tablets up to my face, but the turbo seems to be absolutely crazy if the rumors are true.

If you don't want to wait then I'd say the M8 should be up there with the G3, S5 and Note 4. It just comes down to your hardware priorities.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calebcabob:
I've been rooting and romming for years on 4 different devices and I gladly paid the $25 for sunshine. Think about how many times you have gotten a priceless app or mod for free...so you have to pay for one now - no biggie in my opinion. After all, you're getting something very special for the one-time fee of $25. Hey, it's nice to know it works, right? I bet if you ask ANYONE who owned the galaxy S4 on Verizon who ended up taking the OTA that locked their bootloaders (for what seems to be permanently...so far) if they'd pay the $25 to get the ability back, to flash a rom over their stock one, I bet they'd all say ABSOLUTELY!!!! So, I think we're lucky actually:)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BubbaRob1978:
Thanks for the replies. I actually don't have an interest in the new Droid Turbo, I really like the look and feel of the M8. I went to a store and played around with it today. I'm sold on this phone. It should be just as speedy as my Note 3 and last me for as long as I need it. I'm confident the battery will last me as well. The camera seems to be it's weakness but I don't take many pics anyway so it's not a big deal to me.

After looking at the rooting process for the phone I may even go that route and install the CleanROM as well. I have rooted before, way back in the original Droid days but a lot has changed since then. It appears to be rather simple so it'll be worth it to de-bloat the phone. Looking like I'll have one soon.

Thanks again,

Rob
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
Everyone I interact with loves my phone for its camera. It takes better pics than any iPhone that I've seen in action which discludes the Iphone6. I doubt the I6 is any better though. The M8 takes a more clear brighter correct picture by far than iPhone5.. So don't worry about camera at all you will love it for its camera.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] js0uth:
I actually just gave up my note 3 for the m8.... And I couldnt be more happy..... And I believe you'll feel the same way... :)

Everything on the m8 seems to be better minus the camera. The sound I get from my car system via bluetooth from the m8 compared the note 3, no comparison. I'm a audiophile so that was a big plus for me.

I'm rooted and ROM on sinless had to sunshine. Worth every penny. Enjoy your m8!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dr.Gasmo:
What? Rooting and s-off are ENTIRELY FREE. You guys got scammed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brholt6:
Firewater is free...but it has to work on your device. If it doesn't, Sunshine is your only option. Unless you know of another way.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
I would gladly pay for S-off if I needed it. I used weaksauce for free when the M8 first came out. The developer that gave that to us is awesome and I feel that the m8 would be no fun without root. If you can find an exploit for free please let us know. But I doubt you will... [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] is awesome and spent a good amount of time and he deserves to be credited.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcase:
No one got scammed by us. Three exploits were released for the m8. Weaksauce (free, by me), firewater (free, by [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION]) and SunShine (paid, by [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] and myself).

The first two free ones (weaksauce and firewater) were patched, and no longer work on newer devices. We invested much money and time into developing these, and there is no way we could continue doing it for free. It was costing too much money, and negatively impacting us outside of this hobby. Having to explain to the wife why I have to go back to the store, to buy my 4th device of the same model at $700? yeah I better find a way to counter that cost.

Instead of calling us scammers, why don't you look into the facts. We wrote the FREE ones and the paid ones, we invested years of our lives into this field, and tens of thousands of dollars into phones (want pictures of boxes of phones? I can take take them). I think we earned the right to charge for SOME of the things we produce.

Don't forget [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION], he is awesomer.

aw man. you dun goofed up bro...... :eek:
