[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Angelina7:
1s has one 3g and one 2g sim. If both sim had the ability to run 3g on hardware level then xiaomi would do whatever it takes to enable them so they can advertise 1s as dual 3g (I have a feeling if it was possible to somehow overclock 2g sim to 3g they would do that even at the risk of overheating and battery brain lol).

My best guess is tune away/priority subscription can swap 3g functionality on a need to work basis. On CM we can swap 3g/2g without swapping physical sims which wasn't possible in stock rom (if I remember correctly .. last time I used miui feels like B.C. (before christ) :D. Its not possible in most common stock roms. But its possible for tune away in CM to switch 3g to a sim automatically when its needed (a big if and ? mark). But I doubt very much that both sim can be used as 3g at the same time.

If thats the fact, then its not a very urgent feature. Most users would use one sim for 3g (internet) and another for 2g (normal calling). If needed, they can always manually switch them. Atleast we don't need to physically switch them.

I might be quite wrong though, hopefully someone would correct me. Never too late to learn !
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] teddy0804:
Might indeed that most users would use one sim for 3g (internet) and another for 2g (normal calling).

You right, we don't need to physically switch SIMs if need 3G connection on SIM-2. This feature offer an improvement from stock that limited our device by its own ROM (MIUI). And talk about this android development, especially CM11/CM12/CM12.1, I think is good idea to have this improvement on stock ROM feature regardless the type of users.. :)

the idea in development is to optimize the Redmi 1S becomes lightweight and powerful.. hehe :p
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] fefifofum:
That commit you mentioned is there for a reason: config_HasTuneAway is gone from cm12/cm12.1 code, so having it would be useless. We cannot make up inexistent overlays. If they add it back, we'll add it back. Next time check cm code:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Settings/blob/cm-12.0/res/values/config.xml

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Settings/blob/cm-12.1/res/values/config.xml

I think techcnically we could have 3G on both sims, but radiation levels would be above the max stablished by law. So things are ok as we have them now.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] teddy0804:
ooh,.. so its CyanogenMOD 12/12.1 ROM itself does not support the Tune Away/Priority Subscription. Hmm, well.. have to use a little bit tricky to activate it.. :). Thanks for your confirmation.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] gummie:
I really don't get what they are requesting too. It is not as if you could combine both 3G signals to become a faster one. Besides what you've mentioned about the radiation issues, having enabled 3G on both sim slots are basically useless. They could just use SIM1 only for internet and SIM2 for telephony. I'm glad you guys from Armani_Dev Team see this stuffs better as to what they are now. Even though this ROM is still unofficial I hope it would still follow the standard CM builds in future releases. Again thank you for bringing good treats for this device.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] SH3H1:
But [MENTION=4517918]jsevi83[/MENTION] radiation levels would be high only when we Run 3G on both the SIM simultaneously , right?

When SIM 1 will on 3G , SIM 2 would be on 2G and viceversa,it will cause high radiation as those work in same frequecy both the time?

Only Dual SIM & Dual Active causes radiation level rising - I assume (Currect me please :) )

It would be like we switched the SIMs if you could find a simple way to make 3G in SIM2 which is not Dual Active - Would be another reason to love CyanogenMod :D

So last question is - is it possible to add it as a feature? :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sinnerz2000:
Yep, clear cache and dalvik cache too, it will take 10-15 mins at the max at first boot, but do it when you can.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
It seems to be pretty much well documented already, the latest version of this rom should come with a severe warning saying "this rom is crashing on many users phones!"

I have reverted back to the backup I took before "upgrading" to the latest version. Put simply, it's broken and there is no fix as yet (nor has anybody given an indication of a time line for a fix)

I used to wait a good few days before installing the latest version of a rom, while keeping an eye on this forum. Don't know why I didn't do that this time. I would have saved myself having to partly resent my phone. In fact, I'm surprised u upgraded based on the many reports of crashing reported on this forum!
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
Forgive me for saying this, but I have yet to see this thread ever being used for meaningful technical discussion (for example there is a serious resetting issue with the latest version and other than reports about it, there is not a single word about the potential cause of the issue) .

The way I c it, the other thread and the restrictions on this thread were created only to keep newbies off this thread, not for any other reason.

Other than that, it serves no useful purpose. In fact it probably makes things worse because now ppl have to search thru two threads whereas previously one only had to look thru one.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Sorry, I just don't get the time to read threads these days. I open xda once a week, if there is a new ROM, I just download it. I assume it'll be fine cause some weeks ago feefifum (or someone else who develops the ROM?) Wrote that there can't be much further dev on the ROM because of dated sources so only upstream and small fixes in the future.

In any case, I wiped system and reflashed ROM and it got fixed alright, but then I plugged in pen drive and phone rebooted as it does when plugging in a pen drive (for the past many versions of the ROM, this is how it has been), but after that the phone reboots every time some app tries to write on the external SD card and sometimes just reboots while just using regular apps that r just reading, not writing, like MX player.

Which last version of the ROM didn't had this problem? I'll move back to that.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
I think somebody said that R14 was OK. I just reverted to the backup I made before upgrading to the latest version and I'm back on the ROM dated 20150714 (don't know which release it is).

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

In case anybody is looking for th previous versions of this rom which don't have the rebooting problem, here's the link.

https://basketbuild.com/devs/fefifofum/xiaomi_armani

Shame this isn't listed on the OP (especially considering the serious issue with the constant reboots which makes the device unusable. It wasn't rocket science, but I had to work to find this.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Angelina7:
Using R16 after its released till now, no issues as usual, smooth as butter. If you are experiencing issues, you are probably not flashing the rom properly or you have an overheating devices which is common among redmi 1s users. Try running antutu benchmark to see if your scores are normal.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
Lucky you. Sadly however, many users are reporting constant reboots.

A general question, why does the OP state to flash Gapps after updating the system (not a fresh install). Whats the point?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Angelina7:
Not sure. TBH I think its wise to do a fresh install always. Why even risk the chance of complications when you can do a fresh install in a few mins.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sinnerz2000:
But really, you are the only one complaining about the reboots so much here, some have faced a few random reboots here and there but nothing major as you claim it is. Are you sure you flashed fresh?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
I'm the only one who reported it?

I just had a quick through recent posts and found the following 8 users who reported the same rebooting issue!

@bhu1
[MENTION=3637908]kairi_zeroblade[/MENTION]

[MENTION=4745953]rolacta[/MENTION]
[MENTION=6908148]pittedmetal[/MENTION]

I'm not complaining. The devs r doing the work out of the goodness of their hearts and I am grateful. Extremely so.

However, I see others making the same mistake as I did, and want to make sure ppl know to keep away from this latest update.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] kairi_zeroblade:
there's a huge set of commits from CM that made all stuff wonky on recent nightlies..issues like SOFT REBOOTS when making a call, answering a call or randomly when in a call..also soft reboots happen when randomly using and installing an app..there are also some issues where(in our case) my TA-MOD does not work now..and gives FC on synapse when you try to change anything..we already tested CM12 here and my personal builds..the only difference is I "reverted" some stuff that fixed the SOFT REBOOTS but still some issues like the FC on Synapse is still lingering(Yes only Synapse when changing TA-MOD controls)..I suggest everyone here to use a previous build that worked out fine for you, and wait till those huge commits from CM are complete..
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] domino2115:
I didnt have problems with reboot while calling, im on build r16 with xcelerate kernel and im pretty happy with everything , yea i had some soft reboots but its okay

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
Am I allowed to I express puzzlement that this release hasn't been pulled by the dev or is that considered criticism?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Will move back to R14 I guess. Thanks guy.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sinnerz2000:
If you read my post again I mentioned that you are the only one blowing this issue out of proportion here, I don't have time to go through so many pages like you did but I can say you have mentioned about this same issue atleast 20 times. Others who reported it have a few reboots in a day, the way you say it is as if the ROM is highly unstable and unusable, there are still many other silent users of R16 who like Angelina are not facing any issues. I'm pretty sure if you just fresh flash 80% of your problems will be solved. There are some issues with the ROM that I agree but none that make it unusable. So you just have two options for now revert to a previous build or fresh flash, coz you're really spamming the thread with the same issue for days.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] neonkat:
agreed with [MENTION=4498932]sinnerz2000[/MENTION] ... made dirty flash and again a fresh flash to R16 but no random reboots and other call issues(neither before nor now)..only issue with T A mod in synapse(force closes).
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
Fresh flash is an unreasonable step for most and if it is necessary, it should come with a warning.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] fefifofum:
I didn't make significant changes in the latest releases, so the issues some of you are having must come from cm code, and hopefully they will be fixed soon. The weird thing (once again) is that only a few of you are having these issues, I didn't have any random reboot or app crashes, and that makes it harder to fix. I will release a new build soon to see if those problems are finally gone.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sinnerz2000:
If you don't want fresh flashes then you gotta stick to stock miui ROM, in the world of custom roms its a common and safe practice to always fresh flash. Everything is supposed to come with a warning sign to you, if you flash a custom ROM or root your phone there's always a warning sign posted by the devs that "its at your own risk".
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] fefifofum:
It is not listed for a reason, I don't give support for older releases.

You don't need to flash gapps with each rom update. I try to keep instructions simple instead of covering every installation possibility.

Thousands of people use this rom and only 9 of you complained, and I think only you qualified the rom as unusable. If you don't like it use something else, but you shouldn't keep people away from latest release.

You are allowed to express puzzlement, but you are not the one to decide that a release should be pulled.

It seems that you are taking your frustration to this thread, complaining about download links, installation instructions, having two threads, releases not being pulled, warnings not being given, releases being unusable... Just so you know, that is not helping at all, it's just negative feedback that confuses users, discourages devs and makes this thread too long so most users stop reading (including me).

There was no warning (from me) because wipes are not needed. Last time I wiped data was three months ago, and I don't have issues with latest release. Of course it is recommended to make wipes once in a while, but it is not strictly necessary unless you messed up something in your data partition.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] !Aman!:
I'm another one who has not faced any issue apart from 1 soft reboot. ROM feels great to me. Keep up the good work and looking forward to next release :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] szxa21:
I have to say that I dont have the random reboots. My data partition is even coming from CM 11 to be honest guys. I know yall might not like that but it's working like a charm! Performance issue when phone is choking w/ less RAM and heating is what I noticed w/ this release. Verdict, it's useable and still awesome. Thanks OP!
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Angelina7:
I didnt have one single reboot or freeze or hang or anything! And I play clash of clans on this device like 8 hours a day lol .. seriously I am very happy with armani devs releases, no doubt its the best you can ever hope for.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] brillemans:
This ROM is very smooth and stable in my opinion. Had some issues with reboots when using GPS in earlier releases, but R16 is stable. Only (minor) issue i experience sometimes is that screen brightness is slowly raised when coming back from sleep.

I use CM12.1 clean. No custom kernel, no exposed. Use it private and for business with 2 sims.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] fefifofum:
New build released

with upstream fixes and updates. Let's hope this build makes the rom "usable" again. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] !Aman!:
thanks, downloading as i write.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Try downloading ttorrent, add a torrent to he downloaded in external storage, the phone will reboot while trying to create placeholder file.

I just wiped my entire phone, flashed the latest ROM u just released, didn't even restore data using titanium. Just installed all apps from scratch using Google backup restore, everything was fine and dandy till I launched tTorrent and added a torrent, phone froze and rebooted. I have wiped 4 times and tried the last 4 ROMs released by u, all give the same problem. This also happens while using mx player, and some other random apps.

P.S. - Sorry u have to deal with this problem.

Edit : Using Root Explorer also gives reboots, like 100% of the time. Absolute guarantee that once I start using root explorer, the phone will freeze and reboot in under a minute.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] HanszRN:
This is very strange. When first time installing any rom, I always use RE to delete sys app that I don't like and replaced it with my fav app. Absolutely never encountered any tiny problem with root explorer. This is a "very usable" rom dude. I also never encountered any single freeze or random reboots.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sinnerz2000:
You could just disable sys apps you don't use, modifying system contents can cause an instability.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] HanszRN:
I know that. My point is there's nothing wrong with root explorer in my case.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] szxa21:
Im using root explorer and hadnt got any like the one that u have. Im also using ADM Pro to dowload on hosting sites and it has an option for creating an advance file on my ext sdcard and im all good w/ this release and the prior also. Im flashing the releases unconditionally btw.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] bhu1:
Then u tell me what am I doing wrong. I wiped and flashed 04/09 and yet I faced these problems which I was also facing before wiping and reinstalling ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] HanszRN:
I think u should provide logcat so maybe dev can look into it. Seriously I've never faced any problems with Root Explorer with all armani rom that I've been using till now.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] fefifofum:
Could it be that the issues you are having (and also other users) are related to your external sdcard? I don't see any other reason why it would work properly for most users and some others are having issues. You could remove your sdcard and see if you still have these problems, or try some other sdcard or even format it to see if that fixes the issues you are having.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] david_inuk:
Is there anything which makes you think it's the SD card? Did the logs I uploaded tell you anything?

I was using link2sd (although the crashes were completly random including with apps which were not linked to sd as well as occuring when the phone wasn't being used). Perhaps the others facing crashes are also using link2sd?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] whoami-justanoob:
He is not reffering to your post ... Have you tried folder mount ? . . and again better not using any apps/mod that change internal path imo... selinux and permision is going crazy lately ... Do it later when every thing back to "normal" ... Just my two cents (noob sense).
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] cpglbitm:
Dear Sir jsevi83, Kra1o5 a lot of thanks for providing awesome ROM I love it. please continue support.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] yudicihuy:
installed R17 for a day, and i tell u this 1 big diffrence...

"THE CAMERA NOW MUCH BETTER"

thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sinnerz2000:
There were no changes made to camera
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] yudicihuy:
really:confused:

before, when im capturing hdr mode the output always overexposure, changing to non hdr is no luck.

in R17 the overexposure is less disturbing and almost acceptable + changing hdr & non hdr mode now make diffrence in my device. well i think i got luck. :victory:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] szxa21:
I'm not doing anything fancy. I just clear my cache & dalvik after the first boot and configured my system. Then, its all good for me everytime I flash the new release.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] asurabp:
hdr is not working. read post 2.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sinnerz2000:
Uhm its all in your mind, HDR mode doesn't work for Armani at the moment.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Siddheshmr83:
With the new update all the bugs that ever existed since CM 12.1 was released for redmi ARE BACK.

Literally all of them !!!

Bluetooth is unstable

WiFi hotspot is unpredictable

And thus Xender force closes

OTG problem which was fixed is back

phone restarts every time I insert an OTG

phone also restarts randomly.

WiFi reception has become weak.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] neonkat:
then use older builds
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] HanszRN:
None of the bugs mentioned above ever happened on my side. Bluetooth is stable, wifi hotspot is stable, phone never restart when insert an otg flashdrive, no random reboots, and wifi reception is normal. Maybe I'm just a lucky guy.. but anyway this rom is very stable for daily use.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] cpglbitm:

Yes you are correct ROM is stable with awesome performance I love it. no issue find till now.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] amogh1988:
try installing fresh ,i normally go for a fresh install as it doesn't have any issues normally compared to flashing over the existing rom.

currently i am using this ROM , WIFI is stable for me , i dont use bluetooth so cant comment on that.

Share it app is working without any problem so WIFI hotspot is working properly.

And no random reboots , the rom is stable and i dont have any issues for now
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] ray.77141:
after updated to R17 via OTA

no more lag or random reboot (not a single reboot for 4 days), no more reboot while connecting OTG, excellent gaming performance (far better than stock MIUI 6), virtually lag-less UI (using NOVA launcher not cm UI) even with heavy background process running.

only fix Camera HDR and we have a 100% working ROM.

so thanks to developers for keep developing this excellent ROM for our beloved device, keep up the good work.:good::good:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] dl.aaron25:
Great ROM!

Clean-flashed the latest build. No problems for me. :) Performance is great and battery backup is good. ;) Thank you very much devs for this awesome rom! :good:

Since f2fs seems to be supported by CM12.1 and the devs have already merged the appropriate commits, has anybody tried to flash the rom over a f2fs data and cache partition?

Guys, download Androbench from Google play and run the micro test to measure the speed of your internal memory.

It would be nice to see someone with f2fs uploading a screenshot of his results, so that we know if wiping and formating the appropriate partitions really worth it...!

And there is mine using ext4.

It seems that f2fs gives a fair amount of boost on all 4 i/o procedures.

Also, judging by the latest commit from the devs on github, a stable version of F2FS will be implemented.

Whenever the R18 is out I am going for a full wipe :D
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] swarnakar.ani24:
i think this proves my thoughts after formatting /data & /cache to f2fs ! device feels much fluid and better now ! and it would be great to see the effects of that commit !
