Appreciate the effort. Even though it seems simple enough, this never struck me as a way to "clean flash" xposed. I sometimes had trouble installing the framework on some roms, but this method worked perfectly. Thanks dude.

Blank Installation Procedure on page 1

I am from official Xiaomi miui latest rom.

1. What is the installation procedure:

2. I am currently on standard 2 partitions drive. Do I need to Repartition_MI3W_1_2GB?

Thanks

How about Radio ? Working on this Rom ? And any work around to enable stock alarm wake up the phone when it off, so when the alarm schedule to ring, the phone wake on, just like stock MIUI rom , Samsung Touchwiz and other stock android from other brand did.

He disabled the Google search bar by disabling Google search app. To do so you have to long press the google search app icon in the app drawer and drag it to the top of the screen where 'app info' is written and then on releasing it there will see the disable option in the window that open.

Or you can go to settings>apps>all apps and find Google search there and disable it

I used system app manager by flacki on the play store. It's a free app and you can disable or uninstall it. Uninstalling it may give you a couple fc and requires a restart. It's also a good idea to wipe dalvik and cache after uninstall as well which the app allows you to do without rebooting into recovery.

[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Radio works but for that you need to install the CM Radio (I saw it somewhere in the forum) + Radio fix from the general section. I am using it without any issues.

About alarm when the phone is off, never checked it... Normally the alarm works fine.

Hope this helps...

Sorry for noobish question. Just wanted to be sure about steps.

I'm running miui 6 rooted& cwm recovery on Mi3, want to try this awesome ROM. But, I need few things to be clarified.

To repartition system, by Flashing Repartition_MI3W_1_2GB.zip I need CWM as recommended. After that how can I change to twrp to flash this rom as, system partition will be wiped after Flashing repartition script. So, can't boot.

Or, can I flash Repartition script through twrp? Please guide.
[Mi 3 Android Development] palgaurav00196:
Repartitioning script works with cwm only

After flashing repartitioning script your phone will automatically reboot to cwm and from cwm you can flash twrp recovery and reboot recovery via advanced in cwm

Empty space a top of home screen

Only way I can think of is to get a new launcher apex, ex and Nova are popular. I personally liked cm launcher and have been thinking about going back to it myself
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
You can give a try to Action launcher 3 as well... I use it as my daily driver for last the 7/8 months, very fast launcher and has some nice customizations (not all are available in the free version, I use the paid one though).

Cheers :cool:

PS: It has a Marshmallow like app drawer as well (in case you don't like then it has the pages format also) :D
[Mi 3 Android Development] hemanth86:
Can anybody point me what went wrong. Im stuck at Mi logo on flashing this rom.

At start i had Miui6 with cwm r11 by funreil.

1. I wiped system, data, cache. Then flashed Repartition MI3W.zip file on inactive system1.

2. Flashed twrp recovery.

3. Flashed Metallium rom, gapps& xposed sdk all over inactive system1. After formatting system, data and cache without booting inbetween.

4. On rebboting to system its stuck at mi logo > half an hour.

what might be possibly wrong.
[Mi 3 Android Development] aniket.lamba:
Flash the ROM without Xposed.
[Mi 3 Android Development] hemanth86:
[MENTION=4743557]aniket.lamba[/MENTION] . Did the same as you said bro. But, It still stucks at Mi logo. :( . Also tried flashing only rom.

Now, any way to check whether system is repartitioned correctly via recovery?
[Mi 3 Android Development] palgaurav00196:
try this:

1. turn off tdb

2. flash repartition script nd ROM nd gapps on active partition/system and not on the inactive one.

3. do not flash xposed with rom flash it after the rom boots fine.
[Mi 3 Android Development] sarathchandraj:
Installing updates and new apps is taking significantly longer. Has anybody noticed this?
[Mi 3 Android Development] darthkir:
I clean flashed the latest update. I noticed that when you exit a screen eg. in Setting menu it took a bit longer (laggy). Compared side by side with my nexus stock android and its very noticable.
[Mi 3 Android Development] hemanth86:
Thanks bro. TDB, I never activated, it's disabled by default. On flashing audahadi repartition zip via cwm r11 then, flashed twrp. Through twrp I flashed only metallium rom all on active system. Then, also it's stuck at Mi logo on reboot to system.

I checked md5 sum of rom, it's fine.

Only thing out of place is after flashing repartition zip, I checked partition info via adb parted. System 1 partition is ~4.xx MB, and has ext2 file system not ext4. Is this causing problem? I guess not, as system1 if never used.

Can anyone confirm partition system 1 file system please? Thanks.
[Mi 3 Android Development] palgaurav00196:
can you tell me the size of sys partition 2..?

cause the repartition zip makes the size of 1 partition to be~1.2GBs(of the partition in which the zip is flashed) nd other in range of Few MBs so i guess the size of other partition must be in GBs as you might have flashed the zip in system partition 2..
[Mi 3 Android Development] hemanth86:
As per partition table of mi3, System 1 is labelled as System & System 2 as System1.

Mine is partitioned correctly as going by sizes. Only System1 i.e, 2nd System partition had ext2.

Another thing I got to know from little scooping through Mi3 threads is some people flashing newer version XenonHD rom freshly got stuck in Mi logo. But, it didn't occur for those who did dirty flash over older version.

So, anybody flashed latest version metallium rom freshly after partitioning & got successfully booted? Thanks.

[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
I am gonna give a shot for this ROM. Just wondering METAON included within METALLINIUM? Anyway according posts you are doing awesome work, Ive got to admit Im impressed ;)

PS: Im unable to find battery pertentage settings... Is there option to enable it or its not... so far it seems to be a very slim ROM. That could be a good sign.
[Mi 3 Android Development] palgaurav00196:
you can find the setting in battery option in 'settings'...tap on the three dots(or the icon next to it) on the upper right corner of the battery settings
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
Yes it is there. But still Im missing circle batery icon with number inside. :)
[Mi 3 Android Development] palgaurav00196:
Sorry to disappoint you my friend ...but that feature is not present in this rom!:(
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
Yes apparently. But I can live with only percentage of battery. So far Im not dissapointed with this rom. During night 100% battery and in the morning 100% + after 30min of music listening 99%. Im impressed with battery live for now. Few features Im missing but I can live with that.

In the future I would like developers to remove empty space in top row of the default launcher in meanwhile Im using nova.

Overal experiece after a day of the usage is: Im surprised. But need more days to be sure.

Thanks for the development guys ;)
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Using this ROM from the time it is released... I never flashed any other ROM after flashing this one. No issues at all. Absolutely great ROM with great battery life... It is my daily driver :D

For battery percent I use an app called Battery widget reborn (Free) by Tomas Hubalek, you can give it a try. Here is the play store link

Attached is a screenshot of the battery circle (look at top left corner of screenshot) with the mentioned app.

Cheers :cool:
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
Maybe Im not goint to flash another rom too :D But for now Ive got to test it. That battery widget is nice and it fulfill my needs BUT why should I have two battery icons at once? For now Ive got to admit that I did not face any issue and battery life seems to be awesome :) Im not using any kernel.

FEATURE Im missing: Fast battery charge. The only thing which I miss in the kernel options.

PS: Are you using any sound FX like Viper4Android FX or AudioFX because Im seeing on you screenshot icon with "FX" and Im wondering what it is :D
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Well, you can simply hide the battery icon in that case from settings -> battery. In that way you can only have the app showing you the battery percent with a circle.

About sound mod, nope... I am not into any mods of any kind... The FX icon what you are seeing is a Forex related app (I use that app for my trading related requirements) :D
[Mi 3 Android Development] pra300:
theme name?
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
Mettalium OS has this themed icons. Only few of the icons are changes. Its not a theme ;) Its their UI.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
You are right... One thing though, I use a different launcher called Action Launcher 3.

Cheers :cool:
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
Default launcher is enough except that annoying bug with empty top row so I had to switch to the nova launcher at least till this bug gonna be fixed.

I was testing so many launchers like nova, apex, action, next.... I prefer simplicity (almost all the time it means battery more efficient environment). The best launcher so far at least for me is Trebuchet. Almost all important options are included as in the nova launcher, its light, smooth and easy/fast to set up. Im missing this launcher in this ROM but I can live without it also.
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
That which you refer to as a "bug" in trebuchet has existed in every trebuchet launcher I can recall using since the Google search bar. I highly doubt it will ever get fixed because (unless I'm wrong here) it was made to coexist with the Google search bar on aosp android.
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
But I know few months ago I was using a ROM a think it was AICP and developers of this ROM were using trebuchet launcher and there was no issue with that empty top row. Also I was testing CM official/unofficial both of them with trebuchet launcher without that issue so its fixed by now already but in metallinium ROM they use different launcher. It would be nice to have trebuchet included.
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Maybe they added or changed some code to get it that way I'm not sure. I've personally never had a rom where that was case in my last couple of phones but I'll take your word on it. I been a bigger fan of pa rather than cm over the years it's just to bad pa is going to be no more.
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
Its sad that PA is not going ot be but we have another ROMs like Metallinium. Im surprised with battery life. 2,5H SOT + 1,5H of GAMING(3D SimCity). I taught that lesser things in ROM the better battter life, smoothnes. This rule Metallium fulfil 10 of 10. I thought that this is going to be another project with bugs a few additional features to be different from the other ROMs but for now it seems I was completely wrong.

My only doupt is if this ROM is going to be developed continuosly. I know they said its going to be, but the reality could be different.

What Im missing in this ROM is:

-trebuchet launcher

-more battery icons options like circle with percentage inside it

-fast battery charge (kernel)

Thats it. Other things are good as they are now. But none of these things are major issues to me just a minor and not important.

Yes ROM is without a doubt good as a daily driver.
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
This rom is based on pa according to the op so without pa this rom wouldn't be as good as it is. Secondly launcher 3 is trebuchet. They just need to add in resizing the homepage to fill in the Google search bar area and an option to remove the search bar without having to do it manually but it really don't bother me. I tried removing launcher 3 and installing cm12 trebuchet launcher (which is still launcher 3) and it still had the same result with unused space only difference is the m app drawer icon turned into the regular app drawer icon. All the options and such you see in cm based roms were still gone, so it must be something that has to be done in the framework or something. Just for future reference it's spelled doubt[emoji4]
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
Im matter of the launcher there is no need to be hurry (in question of that row fixing) meanwhile Im using nova. There is no major issue in this ROM so far.

Launcher 3 is on the early stage of development after adding that missing options as I used to have in "regular" trebuched its gonna be awesome :)

Ive found on the official page: "Weeklies Metallium© will be released every week." Well at least for the Mi3 device last build is 30_09_2015 it is almost 21 days/3weeks. That is not a problem that the development take a little while. The problem is they are saying on their official page that they are gonna release something every one week. I was afraid of not fulfilled promises.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Well not sure about weekly updates but there is lot of work going on if you look at their github repo... Seems like they are trying to move to Android Marshmallow real fast... You can find lot of commits related to MM in their github repos. Hopefully we will get a stable Metallium with MM soon :D

Till then I am quite chilled out on my flashing activities as the 0930 build is super stable and personally I don't have any intention of updating it. ;)
[Mi 3 Android Development] sgcko7:
I agree with everything you ve said. But they promissed to release update every week :) Not a big deal... If it is real they are working already on the MM Im so exited because of doze and battery life with it. Did you find any infos when they are going to release MM based Metallinium :) ? I can stay on this build months since it is completely stable build. It will worth to wait for MM :D

You ve made my day with MM rumors :D

Hi,

Does this ROM works on MI4 LTE?

Thanks
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
I don't think anybody supports mi4 lte as it is a different phone. You can flash it but you will have all the same bugs as any other rom here

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

They just got lollipop stable enough to be reliable marshmallow will take awhile to stable enough to use I would be willing to bet
[Mi 3 Android Development] slavke1976:
Thanks for answer.

so it will work but no LTE?

edit: Doesnt work well on MI4 LTE, crash all applications

No issues as such...

Let me clear this.

I havent installed xposed and related stuff.

Only installed Metalon from official website.

Now whenever I try to pull down notification from lockscreen, only clock pop up.

But If I have any notification left to dismiss or I got new one, then I am able to access notification drawer.

Still I m uploading my screenshot.

[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
I don't have this issue either so there's a few things you could do.

1st: if your phone is a mi4 LTE the roms in these forums weren't made for your device and you will most likely have bugs like this or different ones in every rom as your phone is not the same as a mi3w or mi4w and you should check for development in the forum for your device if it even exists yet.

2: try wiping dalvik and cache and reboot your phone to see if it fixes your issue.

3: check your md5 to make sure you didn't get a corrupted download or download the file again with a better supported browser such as chrome.

4: clean install the rom again with good battery life and while it's not plugged in. You may have gotten a bad flash. This is more common than people think. Cwm has been known in the past by multiple users to not complete a proper wipe which leads to problems during rom swaps.

5: clean install first build then dirty flash second build over first build. (I just done this recently so I can't tell you for sure if it is a problem with recent build though the first time I flashed this rom it was the second build with a clean install and I didn't encounter any really major bugs except flash player video (I'm fairly sure it was a bad flash which caused that issue however) and I never used my phone in manner your speaking of I've always unlocked it first from personal habit.
[Mi 3 Android Development] fluster84:
Hi, does this rom have issues with compass, especially in google maps? I don't know if its a bug with GMaps or with my current rom (Mokee latest release) but the direction in which the blip is facing is all screwed up. I am also having some troubles getting an accurate gps lock with Mokee. So does Metallium have any such bugs? Thanks.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
No issues with compass on Google Maps. Works fine with Endomondo also.

Write to the creators of WhatsApp and ask them fix the issue in lp
[Mi 3 Android Development] diongdyh:
The issue doesn't exist in Nexus devices
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Buy a nexus then. What I was saying was ask the app developers to make it compatible with your device and cm12 or aosp's which use cm trees or whatever. Nexus is pure aosp from Google. There is no pure aosp for mi3/4 that I currently know of. Or it could possibly be something with the camera itself and if that's the case it's probably never going to happen as xiaomi made their own api and did not use Google's. It also requires their sdk hence the reason we never have seen a good camera aside from miui camera and why most functions can't be ported from the miui camera from my understanding.

Cool [MENTION=5072699]i snort flour[/MENTION]! Hey [MENTION=4743557]aniket.lamba[/MENTION] I've got a suggestion. The OTG copy speeds seem to be really low. I think it's the CPU boost problem. It's not ramping up automatically and hence it's very slow to complete. However, if I keep touching the screen, due to the input boost associated with it, I get significantly faster speeds! I think it's a governor issue. I'm using smartmax_eps by the way! Just wanting to let you know that it's something to work on to provide a great experience on Metallium... Cheers!

Edit: Noob Mistake! I use stuxnet reborn kernel. Governors are all kernel stuff right! I should have posted this in that thread! Sorry!
