[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] akshayjoshi1993:
I have stopped updating my I9500 MIUI Rom since 5.9.18, as in later updates, storage (internal as well as external) write access was creating a problem

3rd party apps weren't allowed to gain any control over storage.

Permission fixing apps could only solve the write issue with the external storage but not with the internal one!

And most importantly: There was no data roaming available even after setting roaming overseas.

Did these problem solved?

Or did we get any workarounds?

Please help me decide to update or not.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] egymaro:
Writing on external storage isn't allowed for 3rd party apps by default on android kitkat.. But fixing it is as easy as installing an app called SDFix and let it change the permissions for you.

But about the internal storage its not a problem at all because its allowed by default on android to write on it.. Maybe the apps you are using needs root access which must turned on in the Privace app for miui..

You should update to the latest because they did many fixes and added a lot till now.. And you will not find any problem in writing on ur storage

My phone has the capacitive buttons broken, does this include a nav bar? thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] akshayjoshi1993:
I am right now using MIUI v7 5.9.18 which is also based on KITKAT.

Previously I download the newer 5.9.28 (Downloaded when it was released) which showed me that BUG.

Like I've mentioned that the external storage problem was fixed by using an app, but that didn't solve the internal memory write issue.

I did try to edit the permission.xml by my self but end up crashing the whole ROM. By further searching on the internet I found that in the author's forum page (gtbluesky, http://www.miui.com/thread-2554020-1-1.html) some users have reported the same issue, But they didn't mention that whether it was solved in later versions or not.

The only problem in that forum is that it's in Chinese language.

I did found some other forum concerning the same matter but one of the user suggested to download a previous version (mainly 5.9.18 which was the last storage write access bug free release). She also mentioned that when she downloaded the whole rom package of the latest version (5.9.28) she face that problem but if she installs the previous version then OTA updates to the newer version, she didn't face any such problem.

As I was not able to find the OTA downloadable package, I end up with 5.9.18 only. 5.9.28 was only available as a package.

Even though If the Rom doesn't fixed the Storage Bug., I don't have any problem in staying on the same version for some time.

PS: My Biggest problem is not able to access Mobile Data while Roaming even with Roaming overseas Activated. Need a Fix for this.

does this rom have a nav bar?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] egymaro:
The first version i installed of this rom was 5.9.28 and then updated till the latest now 5.11.8.. And never had your problem..

Anyway I hope you can find a solution especially with the data roaming which i didn't try. so i can't tell if its working in the latest release of this rom or not..

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

No but you can add it by Xposed
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Poroto:
Would you please explain me how? The Xposed modules I found are for customizing the nav bars of devices that already have one, I cant seem to put a working nav bar on my gt-i9500
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] egymaro:
Install GravityBox [KK] install it and enable the module in xposed then enable the navigation bar from gravitybox menu and reboot..

Its fully working and you can change its size, color, design..

GravityBox isn't supposed to work with MIUI but many features in it works actually.. [emoji106]

Here is the link for the latest version of GravityBox module

com.ceco.kitkat.gravitybox_v134_a9b871.apk

And you can see the nav bar working on my phone in the screenshot attached.

So I've updated to 5.11.8 which do fortunately doesn't creating any storage write problem.

But the roaming problem still exist.

After some digging and playing with the system files I found the problem to be with "/system/framework/telephony-common.jar" file. I tried to exchange the file with some other rom's file(4.4.2 only) with leads to force close of phone application. But I'am so sure about the file because I was able to get the data for a few mins before the app force closes again.

Can anybody fix this please?

As 4 months of MIUI 7, MIUI Dev Team are starting to work on bringing newer Android releases to their officially-supported devices. Xiaomi Mi3 W/C, Mi4, and Mi Note will get these updates first based on Android Marshmallow (as beta release) and these devices will stop receiving updates that based on Android KitKat.

Our device even didn't have any builds with Android Lollipop as the base (again, due to lack of support from Dev Team to Patchrom) :(

Guys!!

I Have a problem..

on MIUI 7 Whatsapp Notifications won't arrive until i open Whatsapp.

any solutions ??? Please Reply ASAP!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] akshayjoshi1993:
You need to lock whatsapp from ram cleaner's list.

Do this:-

Open your whatsapp, Then go to your homescreen by taping home button.

open your task man (Recent menu)

You'll see a whatsapp icon, While holding that icon, Drag it down-word and release it.

You'll start seeing a red lock icon above your whatsapp icon.

From now on MIUI's RAM cleaner wont kill your whatsapp in background and you'll have your notifications on time.

You can do this with any app you want to stay running( like True caller, whatsapp etc)

But remember MIUI's Ram Management is very poor and you'll face some lag issues in apps after some time.

Either keep cleaning your RAM or use a Swap memory app like RAM Expander with a MicroSD class 6 and up.
