Yep, working. Using extended partition - have rebooted a couple of times, used GravityBox as well - but have NOT used extensively.

Also using TKGapps - PICO MODULAR PACKAGE, if it makes a difference.

Not sure if it is a bug or a "feature" - after unlocking my screen it takes 1-2 seconds for the screen to "undim".

EDIT: It's related to adaptive brightness - which I like. But I don't like the lag.
[Mi 3 Android Development] SynnyG:
No perf profile included in the ROM.

To modify QuickSettings tiles, long press on them

That's a known bug present in almost all ROM
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
I couldn't get runkeeper to lock on personally but gps testers lock on OK with weak to medium signal. Not the strongest signal where I live though so I can't say for sure runkeeper don't work but I can tell you gps testers where locking on while runkeeper did not. Could be settings or kernel related but I'm not sure I just thought I would test it out for you to see if I had any different luck.
[Mi 3 Android Development] LcsZhDrw:
Er... never mind. I reflashed and used a different GPS fix app. It's all good now.
[Mi 3 Android Development] Hadi al-Haiqal:
Is it good?.. I also noticed that no data activity indicator on signal or wifi icon..
[Mi 3 Android Development] kruga:
Thanks, but that only allows to rearrange the layout. I prefer more toggles as well as more on a single line (5). Any way to do it through the rom or a mod/app?

Didn't knew about the brightness bug - haven't been flashing for long, but I don't think it was present on Ivan's rom.

I like the rom overall it seems more stable and lag free than some of the others I tried. Any recommendation for kernel?
[Mi 3 Android Development] Hadi al-Haiqal:
Btw thanks to fix radio bug..
[Mi 3 Android Development] gade12:
I am having high battery drain. I have done clean install, default kernel and no xposed. Battery setting is showing high use of "android system" (17% but with 1hour of screen). What can i do? What is cause of the problem?

Thanks for the ROM, is the best of the moment!
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
Calibrate your battery. I guess you've flashed the ROM while having low battery. To fix this, charge your phone to 100%, download Battery Calibration app from Play Store, tap 'Calibrate!'. Reboot your phone, and use it until less than 5% before charging again. :)
[Mi 3 Android Development] kruga:
Battery calibration is a myth and IIRC one of the Google engineers also said so that wiping battery stats does NOT improve battery life.
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
It doesn't improve battery life, it calibrates your battery. If you refuse to calibrate, just clean flash the ROM again with full battery. Check for wakelocks and cpu frequency, if they're all fine, it's your calibration's fault.
[Mi 3 Android Development] kruga:
If "calibration" does not improve battery life then it will not help gade12 as he is reporting high battery drain because of "android system" (17% but with 1hour of screen). Any links to actual tests around this?

XDA link about battery calibration: http://www.xda-developers.com/googl...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
As I said,

'Calibrate your battery. I guess you've flashed the ROM while having low battery.'

And this is from the link you gave me:

'The reasoning behind that piece of advice was something like this: If you, at some point, did not charge your Android device fully (for example, only to 80%), it would supposedly remember that battery level as “fully charged” – in this case, you’d only ever get to use 80% of your battery, which is of course less than optimal. So, if you wipe the battery stats, usually done in ClockWord Mod Recovery, the device would “forget” the previous level, here 80%, and instead charge to the full 100% once again, thereby re-calibrating the battery.'

Do you understand both the statements above? He has a very high chance of flashing this ROM while having low battery. While Android System being the number 1 battery usage is normal, it basically means how much your phone consumed during idle/heavily using. I don't mean to be cocky here, I'm trying to help him. :)
[Mi 3 Android Development] kruga:
You should have also quoted the paragraph exactly below the above:

I understand that you are trying to help, but it's just that I don't think that the solution you are suggesting will.

EDIT: Plus I am very interested in knowing if there really is any use for battery calibration. There are so many apps and "tweaks", that I am wondering if they help in any way.

[Mi 3 Android Development] gade12:
I have tryed the app Battery Calibration since i did the installation with battery under 50% but, for the moment, the problem is not resolved (5 hours without turn on screen, system android 1%, 1h, 17 min active, 96%). But I will wait until battery goes 0% and charge it again. I will retur with news :)

If it doesnt work, what can I do?
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
I would suggest reflashing the ROM again. Since other users aren't facing this problem.
[Mi 3 Android Development] kruga:
If battery draining continues, you might want to check for wakelocks. See which apps are causing it and siable them. Also check for NFC if you have mi4 - disable it.

hi, can anyone help me please

i set my brightness setting too low, now i cant even enter my pin on the screen lock

is there any workaround other than factory reset?

any help would be very nice

Thank You
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
Close yourself in a cave where you are darker than shadows, then factory reset. :D
[Mi 3 Android Development] groovepeppy:
being in a cave made able to see the pin entering option?

edit: i just went to the bathroom with lights of, nothing to see, push the power button and the softbutton are lit. that's all, nothing in the screen, not even a glance of what are the screen are showing.

can i push and hold vol up + vol down + power to restart the phone, or how to get to recovery easily from where i stood now.

any help would be very appreciated
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
It's not because of brightness settings. It's called screen on death. Press and hold power and volume down volume to go to recovery and flash another rom.
[Mi 3 Android Development] groovepeppy:
thank you for your explanation

i understand

now how to turn off my phone, i cant see the off button :(
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
Just press and hold Power+Volume down for 15 seconds, it'll boot into recovery with extremely high brightness.
[Mi 3 Android Development] groovepeppy:
from the state of my phone now? i mean my phone is on now but i cant see the screen, just the softkeys are lit.

do you mean i can press and hold power and vol down from the locked screen and it will reboot to recovery automaticaly?
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
Yes. Just do it
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
These guys are giving you the wrong information. To get into recovery it's volume up and power for about 30 seconds. Volume down and power takes you into fast boot and if your asking how to get into recovery you probably don't know how to use fast boot.

P.S. it kind of sounds to me like you were playing with an app or settings in your kernel which effected your screen brightness or even possibly flashed a kernel not meant for your device and or rom. You might just be able to reflash the rom or compatible kernel and not lose any of your data as long as settings don't set at boot.
[Mi 3 Android Development] ansonchan:
what recovery to be used in this rom?i use twpr n cwm still no luck on this, status 7 (im mi4 user)
[Mi 3 Android Development] paul c:
Either should work for installing (I have heard that CWM backups don't always restore, though, so bear that in mind)

That error sounds like you don't have enough space - did you extend the system partition 1?
[Mi 3 Android Development] 3mmar3d:
is this Rom working well with mi4 w??/

and if it is ,should I flashed the Extended Partition Zip?
[Mi 3 Android Development] LcsZhDrw:
Yes, also supports stock partition
[Mi 3 Android Development] 3mmar3d:
thanks

thats mean I can install it without flashed the Extended Partition Zip, right?
[Mi 3 Android Development] LcsZhDrw:
Yes
[Mi 3 Android Development] berz:
Has anyone with mi4 flashed this successfully its seems to be impossible for me flash any ASOP ROM other than ivans on my phone.

i always get status 7 error on CWM and binary error TWRP if anyone has a solution please tell me what it is.

im so tired of trying :(
[Mi 3 Android Development] LcsZhDrw:
Again, I have, and I've used it with no problems
[Mi 3 Android Development] berz:
could u tell me exact what u did step by step if possible please?
[Mi 3 Android Development] kruga:
Flashing works for me also. First make sure you are on extended partition and use standard procedure and do a clean install (wipe dalvik/cache/system/data and then flash).

My guess is that you are using standard partition and hence able to flash Ivan's rom.

EDIT: This could also be the problem.

[Mi 3 Android Development] paul c:
Yep, the dual boot is a great idea, but badly executed/not suited to custom ROMs. The extended partition is the way to go when addicted to flashing ;)
[Mi 3 Android Development] berz:
never really cared about dual boot, but the damn extended partition zip never worked on my device i've tried everything.

it finally did today.

HELP ME

Please help me. I have already done extended the partition but still I am having the "Status 7 Installation aborted" error on each and every ROM . Please help what should I do more.
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
Try installing a ROM that supports stock partition, and download DiskInfo to check if you've successfully extended partition or not.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
It is clear from your screenshot that your partition is not extended successfully, that's why you are getting that error. Try repartitioning again with the zip and cwm.

Dudes I am getting terrible battery life with the latest PA on my Mi4. I have even flashed NFC remove.zip but still battery never lasts for more than a few hours even when the phone is on standby. Is there a way to confirm that nfc has been successfully removed? This problem has gotten so bad that everytime I miss my alarms because the phone's battery is completely drained overnight.

Search and you will find. Read carefully,

, before beginning
[Mi 3 Android Development] Mr Rainman:
There's an easier method:

Take this zip https://goo.gl/hfJMit from this http://goo.gl/iCm3lN thread and just flash it in TWRP. Bear in mind that some ROMs that use stock partition may create a situtation in which it seems that you haven't repartitioned (after flashing the ROM zip). If that happens, just backup the newly flashed system partition, wipe it and then restore. Should have enough room for Gapps.
[Mi 3 Android Development] paul c:
Have you done this?

Because it's been said many a time, that you can't modify the system2 partition from TWRP. You could end up bricking the phone.

For that reason, you need CWM to backup the system1 ROM, run the partition script (which wipes both partitions), and restore the backup you have just done, to system1 which is now 1.2GB.

At this point you can flash the TWRP recovery.

The CWM backup files don't work with TWRP of course, and just occupy a lot of space. The CWM directory is buried deep somewhere in System.

Once you are safely and permanently on TWRP you can hunt the CWM directory and delete it.

Now, I learnt all that from this very forum, just saying...
[Mi 3 Android Development] Mr Rainman:
I've certainly flashed it in TWRP and haven't bricked anything yet. I may have already repartitioned it before though. What you said probably wouldn't hurt though so to anyone reading: go ahead and follow the advice just given.
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
I also flashed it in twrp2 by juliusss back when the zip was first introduced. Beings the zip formats both system partitions into ext4 and is not writing to the system but rather to hdd tables there is no reason not having system 2 support would have effect on devices being bricked. It works exactly like if you were set up dual partitions to run windows and Linux on a clean PC. Basically to make it easy to comprehend the script turns the exact method of doing it manually into an automated process so somebody without knowledge or just being lazy can easily do it but doesn't change at all how the process was done beings there is only 1 way to write to the hdd tables.
[Mi 3 Android Development] xxxMADxxx:
Theres no new update guys? Ive seen latest is build 7.31..Thanks
[Mi 3 Android Development] paul c:
That's the one. Absolutely rock solid. I ran it for 4 or 5 days without any of the issues you see in other ROMs (no-SIM, no network/not connecting to data, no GPS) Installed the Stuxnet+ kernel 7 days ago, again none of those issues.

The only thing an update could bring would be the Stagefright patch, but I have unchecked auto-retrieve of MMS messages and anyway haven't received an MMS in the last 5 years!! So it's not a concern for me.

PA Legacy does not update frequently, but tbh, no need to.
[Mi 3 Android Development] LcsZhDrw:
I used the stagefright detector app on this ROM, it said that I am not affected

来自我的 MI 4W 上的 Tapatalk
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
So it comes down to either have different battery display icons or to not be vulnerable to stage freight. Unless newer builds have given battery icons back to us that I haven't learned about it but I like mine not to have an icon and just tell me the percentage in text format

Yeah, sacrificing preference for security

Well I dirty flashed and ran a app to check for stage fright and you were kind of right. Now instead of 3 vulnerabilities there is only one. Please download the app from zimperium and test it and let me know if it's not just because I dirty flashed.

Please don't quote the entire first post...

This is a ROM thread, you can find everything relevant to repartitioning in the threads which have been quoted in previous posts. It sounds like you didn't flash it properly. You need to go through the steps carefully - read the instructions several times. In that thread you can learn how to flash correctly, also to revert to the original partition.

In many years of Android phones, this is the first time I have had to repartition system partitions - so it's not common, but all the answers are in the partition thread. Just make sure you understand the process 100%

Before the next month, I could do update, etc, but I think I will stop after this. I loved to work for this ROM and share it with you but this is the time for me to stop this.

If a developper read this message and want to take over for working on PA, I'll be delighted to share with him all the needed instructions. Or if one of you guys know someone that will be happy to do this instead of me, share the message ;)
