Thanks :good: :D I honestly didn't know that :cyclops:

So far, no problems at all with Greenify. I haven't tested yet the other ones. I don't know if it is really effective or not, but, according to XDA users it is effective. I don't know if I will see a gigantic difference.

Since I flashed CM13 battery lasts twice more than with MIUI. I am very very surprised with battery performance. I didn't know it could last that long :p Big thanks to [MENTION=7319300]ottmi[/MENTION] again (and [MENTION=4729636]hisname[/MENTION] for TWRP).

I would like to share with you some other findings that I use (and if you have other suggestions please fell free to share with me):

I have an e-mail provider that only offers the app through Google's Playstore. I found the APK and instaled but unfortunately it needs google services to push notifications. Because I don't get any notifications when I receive an e-mail this might be a solution. Right? :confused: (Forget about K9 - email provider doesn't support POP3/IMAP)

---------////////////---------------///////////////----------------- EDIT:

Found a way of removing system apps!!!

This afternoon I enabled "ROOT ACCESS -Apps only" in the "developer options" menu. (I didn't know that this existed until [MENTION=5312743]todoss[/MENTION] told me about it, although I had root access through SuperSU).

- Open CM File manager (with ROOT privileges)

- go to /system/app and chose the apps you want to remove

- profit :highfive:

Now you can remove crappy stuff like stock browser and stock camera.

I also removed wallpapers and Ant Hall services and tomorrow I will check if there is more removable stuff :laugh:
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
Just a quick update:

I've backported the touch panel driver gt9xx from mdeejay's kernel to the generic Cyanogen msm8916 kernel. It compiled, phone boots and most hardware seems to be working. So far, I've only noticed the camera and acceleration sensor that stopped working. Camera is a ***** though: I've spent a couple of hours now trying to find out why it's not working but didn't suceed. The Qualcomm camera daemon is so verbose that it's hard to tell what messages are errors and what are just info messages.. This will probably take some time.

Anyway, if you want to give it a try, the download link is below. I will test it over the next hours/days to see whether stability in terms of crashes and wifi improved..

Changelog:

* New Cyanogen MSM8916 generic kernel

* Muli-language support: all languages CM supports should now be available

Known bugs:

* camera not working

* accelaration sensor not working

* screen rotation not working

[Device Reviews and Information] :
I paid for SuperSu Pro, so I'll flash it on every device I want, goddammit! (joking, obviously) :laugh:

Nice. Yeah, I did stay away from those ported versions, not a fan. NFound released a lot of ROMs but they don't convince me.

I don't need 10 different "uber leet kang pop supa liquid smooth" ROMs for my device, just one that's really solid, hehe.

I was getting ~ 4 days on CM 12.1 and on Michael's build it's looking great as well, even with the "Frankenstein kernel" but I will install the latest build as well in an hour when the phone is fully charged...

SD Maid - Love it, paid for it, use it once a week, just a nice tool to get a good overview and it's a great help with "housekeeping" (corpse finder, etc.).

It will cater to your fetish in terms of keeping it lean and clean.

Extreme Battery Life Thread - Apply as needed, according to your selection of apps, I guess... ;)

The security stuff - some of it is overkill to me... while some of it can help to reduce unnecessary (background) processes and network traffic...

microG framework - one of my favorite projects atm. They really put in a lot of work these past weeks and months. But you're right and also a fair warning from my side:

it takes a fair amount of preparation and some maintenance from time to time, since it's a cat and mouse game with Google and Marvin has to update his files every now and then.

It's an ambitious project, no doubt. I like the small footprint it leaves on your system and the most important things work for me: cloud messaging / push notifications, store access and updates for my few paid apps (everything else is from the F-Droid repo).

You won't see an additional day of battery life with microG but that's not the priority of this project ofc., it's a neat alternative for people who want / need to use Google play but don't want the official hefty lard arse services and framework.

Since this ROM has already nice battery life, you are right by focusing on optimizing the sleep state by reducing alarms, heartbeat intervals & wakelocks.

About the developer options... I sometimes forget that not everyone memorized them in their entirety and I take it for granted that people can recite the settings menu in their sleep, but that's just me being an ignorant douche. ^^

New Miui update: MIUI_MULTIROM_V7.2.4.0 (5.1.1)

download: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CKqo/LqSeSJv54

Credit to: vandal79, Fedor 917, O_dinochka, SmartiKX, oWolkodaWo and Nfound.

My humble opinion is that even a ported Rom, if it is a good project, is to be considered. As it is the work of the team of Russian developers that have created so much interest and so many ROMs for this device.
[Device Reviews and Information] jthams:
Can there include German language?
[Device Reviews and Information] blahmartinblah:
Did anyone try [MENTION=7319300]ottmi[/MENTION]'s 2016-04-11 build with the new kernel yet? I didn't install it as I can't sacrifice the camera functionality right now.... but if it solves the random reboots that would be great news.
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
It does :)

At least I didn't witness any reboots in the last 28 hours. It didn't help with the wifi problems though..
[Device Reviews and Information] blahmartinblah:
Awesome! :) Just get that camera working again and it will be a massive step forward! Thanks so much for your continued efforts.

For what it's worth.... I still haven't noticed WiFi issues. (Netgear r7000 Nighthawk router)

Martin
[Device Reviews and Information] Diamorphoses:
No reboots yet either, and I don't have wifi problems. Neither I had in the previous build - although it says: "CONNECTED, NO INTERNET", actually internet works normally :eek:

BUGS (compared to previous build):

- No camera and no auto rotation has stated.

- I still have the same problem with flashlight in the tiles menu - this is not a real problem with hundreds of flashlight apps available in app stores :silly:

- I wasn't able to send a ~200mb ZIP file from my laptop to my phone. It was taking too long and the transmission crashed in the middle of the process. (Tried like 15 times to phone storage and SD card)

- I am not sure, but I think that in previous build it was possible to "double tap to sleep" and now it's not possible. Also can you make it possible "double tap to wake up"? In the Elephone Trunk parameters section says that it is supported.

- Does anyone thinks that battery lasts less than in previous [MENTION=7319300]ottmi[/MENTION]'s build??? I didn't use my phone a lot today and it's at 40%

Maybe I am completely wrong about this but...

I think I found an argument to use SuperSU instead of CM superuser.

I have to leave developer options ON to have superuser enabled. This means that every time I connect my phone to my laptop it goes directly to USB Debugging. Isn't this a security/privacy threat if I lose my phone?

EDIT: I found where to disable debugging :laugh: Don't forget to disable it :p

I deactivated mobile data on purpose whenever I'm at home and my device is still jumping from one WiFi to the other because it gets disconnected when the system tries to ramp up the power.

[Device Reviews and Information] Diamorphoses:
Cyanogenmod 13

For full details check my signature :p
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
Ok, here's a new build. Main changes are:

* Back to mdeejay's Kernel with some backports from Cyanogen's MSM8916 kernel

* Use WCNSS_cfg.dat and WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin from Wilefox Swift

* Update to latest CM13 source

I wasn't able to fix the camera problems with the MSM8916 kernel yet. Even after backporting all the modules from mdeejay's kernel that seem to be related to the camera, it didn't work. So we're now doing it the other way around: I went back to mdeejay's kernel and backported the wifi driver as well as the sps driver. The latter one seemed to be related to crashes with mdeejay's kernel, so let's see whether this improves the situation.

Changing the WCNSS files seemed to improve the wifi problems for me on both kernels, so I would be keen on feedback from others who were also having problems.

Never mind, it just crashed after 2h.
[Device Reviews and Information] Rdeniro67:
[MENTION=7319300]ottmi[/MENTION] I installed your updated rom, camera worked but no access to SD Card even not in TWRP .
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
That's odd as TWRP and CM are totally unrelated. Try powering off the phone (maybe also taking the battery out) and rebooting. If that doesn't resolve the issues, a logcat and dmesg would be helpful..
[Device Reviews and Information] Diamorphoses:
:( It's a pity :(

I can afford not having a camera, but I can't afford crashes. Otherwise I will not get up in the morning :D

Thanks for your hard work. :good:

Sorry to hear this is so challenging! Please don't give up :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Diamorphoses:

[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
Nah, I'm not giving up yet. In fact, here's another build:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwV0Nb8HTEBwY1diUHJ2LUZSQVU

I've backported yet another driver and so far it has been running without a reboot for almost 6h.

About the flashlight tile disappearing: apparently, Android 6.0 introduced a new API for flashlights. It somehow relies on the camera driver, which in our case is a binary blob from Android 5. So obviously, the driver doesn't support it and hence there's no flashlight tile in the status menu even though you can add it.. I think in the long run, we should try to steal the camera daemon from another phone with a Snapdragon 410 that comes with stock Android 6.0. And then cross our fingers that we can make it work with the shared library for our specific camera module.

What gapps can Flash when I Flash the Pico arm64 .after Boot the system Crash it sorry for my very bad english ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] kezmdor:
You can use Open Gapps nano arm64 but you have to make a clean flash. Wipe your device completely (system, data, cache and dalvik) and then flash ROM and Gapps at once without booting the phone in between.

This procedure worked for me.

[MENTION=7319300]ottmi[/MENTION]

I don't know what you did or what I did but flash light is working now :cyclops:

I flashed the ROM like 10 different times yesterday while testing an app removal script on recovery (it's very handy to uninstall bloat automatically every time you install a new build)

Curious thing is that sometimes after flashing it was there, sometimes it wasn't there. I don't remember very well but I think I first noticed that flashlight appeared after flashing your ROM without any SIM cards inside and/or after deleting the welcome CM menu (chose language, etc). I have no idea if it's related or not.

Prints to prove it :p

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Ah...

No Reboots

Wifi working

Camera working

Though I am experiencing some serious lags while doing simple tasks (like editing the tiles in the status menu, for example).
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
I did exactly nothing to fix the flashlight problem. Not sure why it suddenly works for you - for me it still doesn't.

Anyway, here is another build to play with over the weekend:

* Fixed kernel crashes by backporting ledtrig-backlight from MSM8916 kernel

* Use halo ring as notification light

* Screen rotation working ?!?

The screen rotation is strange. I did some changes to the sensors framework which didn't help with screen rotation. So I undid the changes and suddenly screen rotation worked. Can someone please check whether it works on their phone as well?

For your previous build (cm-13.0-20160414-UNOFFICIAL-trunk.zip) screen rotation works for me.

Regarding this last build you posted: is that one based on mdjeey kernel or is from the one you were building from scratch?

Which improvements should we expect besides screen rotation?

[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
That's really strange.. So let's consider torch light and screen rotation as shaggy for now..

It's based on mdeejay's kernel with the backported ledtrig-backlight driver. I've also reverted any other driver backports, so this kernel should be similar to the kernel in the 20160407 build (besides the ledtrig-backlight driver, that is).

Other than that, todays build features the halo ring as notification led, which in fact was one of the main reasons I started CM development for this device :)
