[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
FEEDBACK

i have downloaded and flashed the miui version 4.11.29 along with philz touch recovery. here is my feedback of the rom...

Stability:

So far it rans pretty stable, i can say it s a good daily driver, because i can do telephony without any sound problems and also there is no camera and torch problem like in the aosp or CM roms.

Performance:

As for the performance, it is quite alright, because there is no lag which i have noticed. But i dont see a noticable effect when applying the "Power Manage mode" presets in the settings->additional menu. In fact, the kernel of the rom is not like the custom kernels we know. Something like setting clock frequency needs to be done with the third party app.

The kernel does not have any features like FAUXSOUND, INTELLIPLUG, FASTCHARGE, GPU FREQ Settings, GAMMA SETTINGS etc... which it makes me disappointed, that you cannot customise such things.

Customizeability:

Customizable kernel is out of the question in this miui rom version. I missed this, since i mostly used AOSP and CM Roms with custom kernels. You cant flash any other kernel. But ok, since it rans stable, deal with it.

The rom itself has its own launcher. you can use an other launcher if you install it and make it stick at the display settings (i dont know why it is placed there...) But with the miui launcher it seems that you can have all apps and widgets have in one place while the other launchers we know have separated places. (I mean, applists have apps only and widgets on the homescreens with shortcuts of most favoured apps).

You neither have the ability to doubletap the notificationbar to sleep nor having the ability to slide over it to change the brightness. you always have to do this with the toggle screen.

Not even with xposed it is possible to use these abilities. But actually, even if xposed said, that there might be conflicts with miui roms, you still can install and use the modules. i used the xposed version 2.7 experimental1 app with flashable xposed framework.

Adblockers is not welcomed in the rom at first, you need to remove the chinese bloatware with titanium backup first in order to have it your way. That applies with their security app, some apps with chinese letters i also removed because i dont understand them and also if i dont understand anything, i dont need it. After that you can install the adblocker app.

Useability:

Some apps you cannot read and understand at all because there are chinese letters. example the phone app, or the one SCREENMASK settings in the additional settings menu. But in the screenmask it seems that if you use the slider and toggled the first button on, you can have darker screen than usual which is pretty nice at night. Othr than that i dont understand anything at all in that what the chinese letters say...

Overall it is understandable, english language is present, mostly. but not german or any other language, you basically have 3 languages besides english and chinese.

Problems:

Yeah, this is the most annoying one. I took some pictures and i opened with quickpic because it s my favourite app to view pictures since i use AOSP and CM roms. But i cannot delete the pictures. It seems that not every app is able to have access to the storage. I have no idea how i can fix this issue.

Watching 9Gag is an issue for me too because i cant save pictures or can see GIF pictures.

What i really want to have in the next version...

I really would like to have more kernel customizability on the miui roms. I havent tested the miuiv6 yet because the download speed is horribly slow.

The xposed compatibility should be more improved. It seems that miui is not open source but at least it would be really cool if it is possible.

Reducing chinese apps and their bloatware

If you have english language set, please use english translations of settings in some categories, even if it s patchworked with other apps from somewhere.

Thanks for reading, sorry for the long post.
