I'm on 4.4.4 until the alarm clock bug gets fixed as I rely on my phone for an alarm clock plus I like having remote play for my ps4 which currently does not work with the art runtime which is the only runtime lollipop uses. However if the alarm bug gets fixed I'll be lollipop as a daily driver with a backup of Ivan's 4.4.4 for when I want to play my ps4 on the road. As far as roms there are a lot of stable ones out there to choose from and everybody has different preferences, but for me I prefer temasek.
[Mi 3 General] Pallmalli:
Yeah thanks. Had to stop the download in the middle when i realized it. Downloaded the right one. If it is not to much to ask can you tell me if I am right about the flashing procedure?

After all the wipes are done:

1) Flash the rom

2) Flash Gapps(the rcomended one, Banks or minimal)?

3) Flash SuperSu-v2.45

4)install NoDeepSleep.apk against random reboots

Thanks in advance.:D
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
yes.

any gapps should work fine with this rom. I recommend banks or minamal edition gapps btw.

and no need to flash supersu, you can use builtin root after enabling dev options ;)

edit: camera still seems buggy to me in latest temasek. included camera seems ok, but I don't like it too much, and other cameras like lenovo camera seem they are still having problems ;( so maybe going back to mokee will see :(
[Mi 3 General] zard:
Something in the Lenovo camera apk did the trick. With it installed, camera and video was working. Thank you so much.

BTW, with the latest and previous Mokee nightly, during flashing, I got this error:

Writing image NON-HLOS.bin unmount of /vendor/firmware failed; no such volume

Is this expected behavior?
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
Yes, the vendor/firmware partition apparently contains some proprietary blobs on the Nexus 9, or at least that's what audahadi said, I think...

Nothing to worry about...If you're gonna be flashing more Lollipop on cancro, you'll be seeing that a lot...nothing to worry about. :good:

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Anyone who's used Ivan's new build, is the battery life improved or anything? The ONLY reason I stopped trying out Lollipop ROMs is cuz of the (comparatively) bad battery they give me...(MIUI6 gives me 2-day battery)...

(Well, not the ONLY one...I've also got exams going on ATM and can't afford to spend time experimenting...)
[Mi 3 General] Mr Rainman:
Battery is amazing for me on latest Ivan's. To be honest, it seems even better than miui v6. Think about it, it doesn't even enter deepsleep, now imagine if it would..
[Mi 3 General] elia222:
Nice! How much Screen-On time?
[Mi 3 General] Armin_van_buuren:
Completely disagree that consumes less battery the latest version of Ivan.

You can reach about 6h active screen with total 17h of use. In my case I get these consumptions but with the same use and same applications came over 7h in Miui and almost two days of use.

The problem remains in deep sleep is when there is greater battery drain. With use does not seem consuming.

Lollipop is very buggy in consumer issues.
[Mi 3 General] Mr Rainman:
No idea but been on battery for around 14h now and 53% left. Been using it just like I normally do and miui was usually at around 40 by that time. (The normal using thing is just browsing web for maybe hour or two total over day, listening to music, checking social media etc)
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
really don't know how you guys can reach 6-7 hours of sot in miui.. I've never been able to do so... and i disable everything, no sync, gps, bt etc, most of the time on 2g, low usage and last but not least my battery is like new as I've always charged it with stock charger and just for the time needed to reach 100%... how do you get that battery life? very curious.. do you have some screenshots just to make me believe? :)
[Mi 3 General] Tomi_Ohl:
Here you are:

These were my records (from September), nowadays I achieve only about 5h.
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
thanks. unbelievable never got any close to those stats.. 5 hours instead maybe i could accomplish too.. did you use any power saving mode/tool? maybe my battery is ruined a little already or i have alaways had something draining my battery faster dunno....
[Mi 3 General] i snort flour:
From the information I've seen from people I would assume your probably right. You have to take into consideration how cheap this device is meaning they have to be using cheap parts and if you use cheap batteries it is highly probable you could receive a battery with bad cells. I seem to be a fortunate one with extremely good battery cells. I have posted screen shots before on a temasek build where I just kept my device awake, screen on, GPS, WiFi, network service all running for a 2 hour period which drained 10 percent meaning it would receive 20 hrs at the rate it was going. Now you also got to take into consideration how many processes you got running in the background as they drain battery and also how many times your phone syncs for weather or pushes messages as these cause a lot of battery drain.
[Mi 3 General] Tomi_Ohl:
No, just normal usage without power saving, but as I said nowadays I can't achieve it, maybe because my battery is used.
[Mi 3 General] k4mik4z:
Kernel sources doesn't always mean, bug free latest roms, look at redmi yet to have a stable lollipop, inspite of considerable development for that phone

Hence stop berating Ivan, he's probably doing his best within the limits he can

Developing isn't easy, not to mention they have a regular life to live too

And to certain extend it depends on the devs skill also

Regarding battery life, from what I have seen, it doesn't discharge at the same rate from 100-0

And like members have mentioned battery life is lesser compared to the first month of the phone with me

Could probably be down to increased number of apps etc
[Mi 3 General] i snort flour:
1. Redmi sources were just released less than a month ago.

2. It's at Ivan's job not his personal life which he is creating these roms

3. You will never stop people from hating on others especially when they are guilty of wrong doing. So what is your goal here.

4. If your such a mifan that people and their opinions bother you that much that you feel the need to stick up for a Dev that doesn't even develop here you should just go back to the miui forum with the other mifans who feel that this company deserves only praises regardless of their practices and creates censorship to those who speak out against them
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
well I don't use any social app (no FB, no twitter, no plus etc), no whatsapp, only Line messenger sometimes. Also, no automatic syncs at all. plus no particular apps in background, only automatic sync is dashclock widget or sony clock widget sometimes for weather updates. That's why I could never explain myself why some people could get such a long SOT/battery life while I've always got pretty poor life compared to them :(

only app that could drain battery faster is probably gravity screen, always looking at proximity sensor while screen locked to wake up the phone, but I tried also removing it completely, and still I never got more than 4-5 hours of SOT...

...well probably my battery is just unlucky :o

bye!!!
[Mi 3 General] i snort flour:
Li-ion are cheap I'm sure you find a replacement for under $10usd on the internet if you look for a battery with the exact same specs and connector. I'm not positive how hard these phones are to take apart but I've seen dismantled pics it don't look like there is all that much in them so it might be an easy job

---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

As a matter of fact eBay has original mi3 bm31 batteries for $16 USD with free shipping
[Mi 3 General] s4tch:
according to my experience, battery life is down to 4 factors:

- screen-on time

- screen brightness

- mobile data services

- games/apps with extensive cpu usage

i usually get near 6 hours of sot with the latest dev miui6 rom, i got 6,5-7 hours with ivan's 4.4 rom when i used it back in 2014. random thoughts about it:

- i don't use automatic brightness. for most of the times, it's useless. i don't move around places too much during normal days, so i set a brightness for the office at the morning, an other one for the evening, and basically that's it.

- i switch off mobile data whenever i'm on wifi. mobile data consumes _a_lot_ of battery.

- i usually use 2g network. it's good enough to download email headers and to help gps positioning. also, if 3g coverage is poor in your area, switching between 3g and 2g takes a toll on battery life.

- i don't play too much on the phone. most games kill the battery life. also, no facebook, messenger, twitter, instagram.

- browsing, youtube videos, tapatalk, sofascore, most messaging apps are much lighter on the battery.

- i'm not an nfc user, thus it's disabled.

- the hungarian miui team made a lightweight version of the miui6 dev rom. it's basically a dev rom with added hungarian language, with some tweaks like the gallery is replaced with quickpic, they use mx player instead of the miui video player, and most of the useless xiaomi framework is also removed. great rom, and gives around half an hour of sot compared to the generic dev rom.

- i use the scheduled power saving profiles in miui6. syncing, wifi, data, gps (etc) are all off from 0:30 to 6:30.

- i check the wakelock detector app sometimes. if an app regularly wakes the phone out of my intention, i remove it. e.g. i used the engadget app for years, then after a recent update, it started to wake up the phone a couple of times daily. it wasn't on the autostart list, had no root access or whatsoever, i didn't even use it, still, it produced wakelocks. i reported the bug via play store, and it's gone till the next update.
[Mi 3 General] k4mik4z:
Well I don't see much point in reasoning with you,

May be you should stop snorting stuff and see if there is more than one perspective to things in life, it's not a one way traffic my friend And dude what you want to do is up to you, all I wanted is to give some perspective., I don't have set any goals or objectives to achieve here, it's an opinion

That said, I'll try to explain a lil more and makes it a lil more easier to understand for you

Let me get this clear, I'm by no means a mifan, but im rational, rather I'm trained to be

Anyway, redmi source has been released for over a month, but my point was see the unofficial lollipop rom released by mokee was before the release of sources and the status of that rom hasn't yet changed, it's still stuck with ril bug, hence the original statement

Now coming to the rest of the stuff, I don't have much to say coz most of your previous arguements are based on hearsay, and you very well seemed to be prejudiced at this point of time, so there aint much point debating on them

Cheerio!
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
I noticed and have always done about the same things you say, a part a few (I keep automatic brightness, with bar in the middle; I don't use power saving profiles, but at night I a;ways use airplane mode, and of course I was not using a slimmed version of miui, just the developer-china or multi-language or latest stable version, maybe slimmed down by miself removing some system apps I don't need) but did some others to keep battery healthy and preserve its charge, but still I've never got close to such sot.. but well I may just be unlucky and got a bad battery who knows! :cyclops:
[Mi 3 General] Hadi al-Haiqal:
Latest blisspop is out.. It is lollipop.. If cannot post here, delete or report.. Sorry..

http://m.romzj.com/rom/28168.htm
[Mi 3 General] vasishath:
root for ivan rom

just in case anyone wanted to root ivan's new lollipop rom, flash this

https://mega.co.nz/#!28AFRArJ!nr3pyR4CHEajSysU2eghnI0qnHEWDBOlTfhZ5BeAebE

you will have to delete a few system apps before flashing supersu as it leaves almost no space on system partition.
[Mi 3 General] Hadi al-Haiqal:
New kernel..
[Mi 3 General] chankalson:
gapps still doesn't work, such a failure..
[Mi 3 General] Hadi al-Haiqal:
Have you try from mokee gapps?..
[Mi 3 General] chankalson:
doesn't work..
[Mi 3 General] Armin_van_buuren:
If it works.

You have to delete system files, priv-app and flash a gapps now get on Mega.
[Mi 3 General] chankalson:
did u try on the latest blisspop?

was it successful?

which gapps did u flash?

after u flash do u get system ui fc?
[Mi 3 General] destructiontrace:
Tried latest blisspop,flashed banks gapps after deleting some system files..everythings working great,no fcs

Till now the only problem i have faced is random reboots when the phone is in deep sleep state for a long time..
[Mi 3 General] srvoleti:
Yes, I confirm the same. Very nice except for random reboots. Using wakelock to avoid random reboot.
[Mi 3 General] chankalson:
the haptic feedback doesn't work even if i turn on the vibrate on touch..

the buttons wont vibrate when touched..

any idea?
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
Umm...actually I think Ivan's builds are personal... They aren't sanctioned by Xiaomi, I believe...

They're more like unofficial builds, acknowledged and promoted by MIUI community mods so that they can be like, "Look, we give you options!"
[Mi 3 General] i snort flour:
So what your saying is they let him leave the building with their source codes, I don't think so. But I'm tired of defending logic by knowing how manufacturing companies work having worked for them and signing legal documents and disclosures for over a third of my life and I just don't care anymore. think what you want of the guy and the company which he works for. I've got a job interview next week and will be buying an s5 or a z2 after I get the job so this phone will sit in my junk box and be my backup for when my main phone brakes. I stopped working for manufactures/distributors for their shady business practices, their lack of care about their workers and most of all the way they treat customers and pull the wool over their eyes. BTW if you honestly don't believe he had access to source codes how is it that the new kernel has his name on it. The only way to change that is to change it before compiling the kernel source code meaning you have the kernel source code.
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
No, I think he DOES have access to the source...it's probably online on some private company domain or something, and he's supposed to be a system administrator or something... (conspiracy theory ;))

He doesn't share them because:

1. Either he has some sort of non-disclosure thingy...

2. Or like you said before, he's just one of the 'Xiaomi-minded' people who love violating the GPL for no apparent reason.

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

I stopped following BlissPop since they removed the Dark Material UI... :p

But out of curiosity, does Flashlight toggle appear on Quick Settings now? And can you customize lockscreen clock yet?

And is that a new Messaging app I see in the screenshots?
[Mi 3 General] zard:
The Lenovo camera was intermittently working for me on even the latest Mokee room, so I decided to try out Ivan's ROM. Just restored my apps, and charged it fully. Will report back on battery usage maybe tomorrow.

BTW, I'm curious to find out if any of you is able to do a backup in cwm recovery? My device is a MI 4.

Every time I tried, I get error on backing up data partition. Same error on Remix, Blisspop and Mokee.
[Mi 3 General] Armin_van_buuren:
New BlissPop destroy the battery.

In exercise and at rest does not consume battery directly evaporated.
[Mi 3 General] Hadi al-Haiqal:
The rom using kernel from ivan build 4 Feb
[Mi 3 General] Armin_van_buuren:
I've seen that has the same kernel of the latest build of Ivan.

At rest is clearly the rom consume more battery usage and also the expense is quite high.

Is the most complete way, but this consumption will not be called stable.
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
CWM does not seem to support Lollipop, not likely to get an update too, as with CM12, Cyanogen moved to Cyanogen Recovery or something...

Get TWRP here:http://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-3/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-4-0-touch-recovery-t3013384

[Mi 3 General] MTK6589:
Please, which gapps do you use in BIisspop Rom?

I tried minimal x plus and second micro gapps, but play store is restarted only...

thanks
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
first of all you must remove some stuff from

system/app

system/priv-app

system/third-app

..to free some space in system. check the space left in system with "df" command prompt. when free space is enough, flash gapps. suggested banks gapps, or mokee gapps that are even smaller. minimal gapps edition only in case you flash the very latest ones, as the versions before used to remove some apps from system, including stk, that if removed breaks you imei/ril

trying blisspop. with new kernel all camera apps work fine at last.

system reboots when changing wallpaper tough. will test battery now...

edit: do you know what's this app i see in running processes? have never seen that, only in this blisspop..... some "sniffing" app maybe?? deleted it from system/app in the meantime...
[Mi 3 General] Tomi_Ohl:
The normal editions don't remove nothing, there was an X and X+ edition wich removed things.

Or is there only one version, with that removal script?

Please say something about its battery life, cuz [MENTION=3769459]Armin_van_buuren[/MENTION] said some strange things about it...
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
don't remember.. now there is only a regular gapps package and a separate bloatware removal script if I'm right.. well just be sure to have regular version that doesn't delete anything :)

yes I'm curious too will see how it goes compared to mokee :)
[Mi 3 General] MTK6589:
Thank, and please can you upload modified gapps pack? I tried remove .. but nothing, and i tried five gapps - install in recovery is sucessfful but when phone turn on - this is not play store, play services etc...
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
you don't have to modify gapps package, but remove apps from blisspop's system folder...
[Mi 3 General] Armin_van_buuren:
Clearly it is far behind Mokee on consumer issues and far from the new version of Ivan.

It is the most complete rom with Temasek CM12 but also the most consumed in deep sleep.
[Mi 3 General] LKspro:

[Mi 3 General] Tomi_Ohl:
That's not very good news. Maybe I'll wait for Temasek with new kernel (hope the camera will work properly).

Look at the picture... It was build on 29th Jan, before Ivan's newest build!

[MENTION=432086]s4tch[/MENTION] but Ivan's newest build has newer kernel, from 4th February. Why would he flash an older kernel back to test changes?
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
any download link yet? [emoji14]
[Mi 3 General] s4tch:
i'm not sure all bugs are kernel related. i mean he could have fixed some issues without modifying the kernel he built on the 29th january.

i'll give the new rom a try. ivan used to release all bug fixes via ota, let's see if it works this time.
[Mi 3 General] srvoleti:
Any download link please?
[Mi 3 General] KeyLimePies:
What Ivan said on his Weibo: He has fixed NFC for xiaomi mi3 by using nexus 5 drivers, the OTG being unable to mount problem and also incoming call forward force close problem. He has added t9 to the ROM and used the one from CM, thanking the CM team. Lastly, he fixed the auto reboots problem and there will no longer be any auto reboots issue during deep sleep. He will release the ROM after some small scale testing.

[Mi 3 General] MTK6589:
You must remove some files in Rom.

Install root browser - allow root - go to

system / app

system/priv app

system/third app

- and in this three folders remove unuseful apps for you.

I removed camera, browser, calculator and etc. - app that i can exchange when i can.

After that, you can successfully install gapps minimal edition.
