No probs bro :D

Yes, you are right that the stock kernel is great... I use GK R4 simply because its performance is comparable to the stock kernel with addition of some nifty features (particularly the Alucard hotplug with options of how many cores I want to keep active, TCP congestion algo and above all I love the way R4 OC works, pretty fast in my opinion). Although I am pretty satisfied with R4, will wait for your review on GK R5. I haven't updated to R5 as the dev has got rid of OC from it.

Cheers :cool:
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
If you like the oc you must be a gamer or benchmark fanatic. I'm a battery saver fanatic that wants maximum battery with minimum lag. BTW r5 is pretty sweet I got a real promising setup which doesn't benchmark good only about 32k but if I bump the gpu gov from power save to simple on demand and the frequency to 657mhz it gets about 40.5k. Like I said though despite the low benchmark it's really fluid running only 2 cores max and plays videos alright so I'm happy. I would be willing to bet changing the gpu to the higher setting wouldn't decrease battery life all that much but it'll be a week or so before I run that user profile. Let's just say I stated at 90%battery after flash. I been running all kinds of configurations to find a sweet spot in kernel auditor, using Tapatalk and watching some YouTube and mature sites and I'm sitting at 50% with 3 hours sot and the graph had been downsloping without huge drips and says I got 5 hours left but really at the rate it's going it's really about 4 hours but as you know like a tank of gas the last half always drains faster than the first. I'll have a report for you tomorrow or Wednesday night for this profile.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Nope, not at all... I am a casual gamer and about benchmark, I can't even remember when is the last time I ran a benchmark test on my mi3. Stability, speed and fluidity are 3 most important factors what I look into in any ROM and Kernel. That's the reason why I never bothered to flash any other ROM once I first tried Metallium. About battery saving, I like it to be at least in the good category (if not very good or excellent) if my other 3 factors get satisfied but not below that.

With my usage, I always get around 4.5-5hrs of SOT and 1.5-2 days of standby from R4 which I consider very good considering how good the OC performs. I can clearly see the diff while opening apps, switching between apps, playing videos and some casual gaming with OC. I use the GPU OC as well and you are right it doesn't drain battery all that much.

Cheers :cool:

Edit: Oh just saw the rest of your post... Yes the last 20% of the battery life is simply horrible doesn't matter which ROM/kernel combination we are running :what:

I agree, it may take some time to get the profile what we are looking for. Till then its all about tuning things here and there and check...

Will wait for your post regarding the profile...
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Well I think I got it running quite well with 4 hours of slacker radio rigging outline content screen off, sot of 1 hour and over 12 hours standby with no signal 25% of the time(which eats battery) because I get no service in my station at work with the weak radio in these and still sitting at 75%.

My stats are all wonky though I'll have to see if I can fix them as the screen on is adding to my slacker rather than screen.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Oh... 25% of the time No Signal will definitely take a heavy toll on standby, don't think you can do much in cases like that other than just keeping it on Airplane mode. But I would say you still got a good standby...

I just finished another cycle with GK R4, this time my usage was little on the heavier side... So standby was less (that's obvious) but a surprisingly good SOT :p generally I get around 5h consistently...
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Honestly I don't think you can improve this rom really all that much as far as battery life goes but if you want different governors or the ability to make it more gamer friendly gk is really the way to go. Gk 5 runs great but is reporting the wrong info in battery stats even after deleting batterystats.bin file. The settings stick now though so that's good. I may be stupid but I'm smart enough to know that after an hour of sot its used way more than 1%. Well that and my speedtest app I haven't run since full charge is at 8% lol
[Mi 3 Android Development] RishiRaJ01:
When i was on Metallium OS i used to get 7h of SOT with greenify and deep sleep battery saver.
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
I went back to stock kernel as I feel I couldn't improve battery over stock kernel all I could end up doing is making it less effective or higher performance and as I do not seek performance it was pointless.
[Mi 3 Android Development] bmdhj:
I'm getting 5.5-6H SOT with WiFi and location on in my house the whole day. No data involved.

How do I change the buttons? Say home and menu button? I can't change in the stock settings. Gravity box through Xposed does not work at all too.
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
IMHO: Battery savers like greenify and deep sleep battery saver are nothing more than placebos unless you run a lot of poorly programmed apps such as Facebook which upload your private information continuously throughout the day. If your like me however and run a very lean rom without privacy collecting apps such as Facebook, virus scanners, task managers and battery savers, The so called apps which supposedly save battery power rather consume more battery than not using it. Truth is the poor quality radios they used in these phones which are equivalent to the first gen iPhone are the reason why some people can get 6-7+ hrs sot and days of standby just about every cycle receiving full cell signal vs people like me who often sit with poor to no signal are lucky to get 4-5+ hrs sot and less than a day or maybe even slightly more than a day of standby use on every cycle running the same setup. Undervolting is also another placebo.

But still more than enough battery to get me through a normal day of work, listening to music for up to 12 hours, surfing the net, texting, and calling; what does it even really matter right?
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Flash the 9/24/2015 version and you can change the menu and home button features. Personally I like that 1 better than the last 1 anyways

I am using MIUI now want to switch to this rom. I am in default partition. Please anyone give me steps on how to flash this ROM and I also want to know whether this is AOSP rom. Give me link of partition zip. Thanks!
[Mi 3 Android Development] bmdhj:
How do we change some of these features of metallium ROM (such as shake phone to clear notifications and changing hardware buttons commands like press and hold menu button for recents menu?). Can't seem to find in settings. I like the battery life though. 5-6H SOT with media playing, 10-40% screen brightness. Though standby drain is 5-10% for 8 hours).
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
I don't think the menu button is on the latest rom only the home button. However the menu button is on the 9/24/2015 rom. It's in settings, then buttons. As far as the shake for notifications I'm not sure where that is although if you wipe your dalvik and cache it should reset it and ask you if you want to enable it again.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why android os is burning through my battery the only time I flagged it and never had this problem my ui lag was insane making me reflash the rom again. Now it's back up to eating 25% in 8 hours
[Mi 3 Android Development] praga_94:
I have read that the Hdr bug is fixed but I am still facing that bug.. I think i am not in the latest version please anyone give me the link of the new version. My build date is oct 24.

[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
You can try my mixer path settings just make a copy of yours before replacing in etc/ directory and set the permissions to rw-r--r--. Don't forget to unzip it as xda won't allow me to upload it in it's original form. After replacing your file with mine you will need a reboot for changes to take effect.
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Please note that you shouldn't listen to music at full volume on phone speaker and I turned my headphone out up also and might distort speakers if at full volume. Generally I have music 1 to 2 clicks below full volume but this will make it so you can hear phone calls, notifications and alarms in your pocket. Headphone out at full volume usually only distorts small speakers listening to modern rock however 60s and 70s plays fine without distortion. I just got tired of having to crank my stereo up so high when I used a patch cable so now it's a lot closer to the radio.

I really don't see very much improvement in marshmallow and battery life certainly is not any better than lollipop which is disappointing(it's fast though don't get me wrong and better than lollipop in some ways). I would much rather see a good KitKat metalium or carbon rom

[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Stock was great. I couldn't ever achieve any more battery life with custom kernel. The only benefit in custom kernel would have been for gaming with their better governors or ability to oc
[Mi 3 Android Development] bmdhj:
Well I am keep getting 4.5 SOT. How do I get 5.5-6H? What are the kernel settings to play with from the exp you had before?
[Mi 3 Android Development] i snort flour:
Well it's easy enough to get back to stock kernel just try some out. People like gods kernel on this rom and xcelerate worked well. I have poor cell coverage at home and at work so I never got more than 3.5-4.5 hrs sot with around a day of standby. I could only get 5.5 sot with only 15 hrs or less of standby on any lollipop rom. KitKat was similar if not a little better (I just hate everything about miui and KitKat has some serious security issues but had much better standby). Marshmallow has been giving me better battery results but is new and has small and annoying bugs. I never really noticed that much of a difference between kernels as the stock ones have become so efficient lately.

My short review:

1. It's pure AOSP with CM theme engine.

2. Work flawlessly so far.

3. Smooth, as to be expected from AOSP.

4. Not much customization, again its AOSP.

5. Xposed work, Im using GravityBox.

Fabulous battery life (stock kernel)...

I have never ever got such a good combination (Standby + SOT) of battery life on my Mi3. Metallium ROM truly rocks :victory:

The point is there are few ROMs which provides more than 6hrs SOT but none provides more than 2 days Standby along with it (at least I never got such a combo of standby + SOT in any other ROM).

The standby was ~ 2 days 2 hours 20 mins along with 6 hrs SOT (100-3%)... Really amazing stuff :D Have a look at the SS...

BTW, I am on Stock kernel :good:

Thanks to [MENTION=4743557]aniket.lamba[/MENTION] and the Spike Lab team for this wonderful ROM :highfive:

Absolutely love it :cool:

PS: Almost no battery drain on 3G as well when on standby.
[Mi 3 Android Development] darthkir:

[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:

I don't have any issues with the recovery nor with the ROM. On the contrary, I would always suggest people to use TWRP rather than CWM :cool:

Kudos to Spike Lab team and [MENTION=4743557]aniket.lamba[/MENTION] for this wonderful update :thumbup:

Bugs/issues resolved: There was No SIM bug on the last build, this update fixed it. :good: The ROM is bug free right now :D

Improvements: Battery optimised further for sure, even on 3G I am hardly facing any battery drain which is fabulous. Overall battery life has improved (it was very good in the last build also, now it is excellent). Overall smoothness and speed increased further.

New apps/icons: A new look for the calculator app, thanks a lot... Was slowly getting bored of the material design, so its a much welcome change... System app icons changed and has a distinct look now... I loved it because this makes Metallium ROM stand apart from other ROMs out there from the design point of view :highfive: it clearly shows that the attention Metallium ROM is getting from the Spike Lab team :good:

Keep it up Spike Lab and [MENTION=4743557]aniket.lamba[/MENTION]

Great work done :beer:

On-call volume too low on the latest build (0930)

Hi [MENTION=4743557]aniket.lamba[/MENTION]

As I mentioned on my earlier post, the current build 0930 is excellent. But, after few days of use I found a small glitch. The on-call volume from earphone/speaker is on the lower side when compared to the previous build (0908). It becomes difficult to hear the other person clearly. That was not the case on the previous build though. The sound on the 0908 build was rich, clear and without any distortion.

I found the root cause of the problem also. It was because of a github commit done by jrizzoli/linuxxxx few days ago which got synced to your sources as well right now. This is the commit I am talking about: cancro device tree --audio/mixer_paths.xml-- commit Check out line number 900 in particular.

Although he did it to increase the sound (that's what I can make it from his comment on the commit) but it actually lowered it.

Now to substantiate this I replaced the current mixer_paths.xml file with the one from 0908 build and rebooted the phone. The sound was again exactly like what it used to be in the previous build. I could have changed the current file's values as well but as the earlier build sound was flawless I thought it is better to just replace the file.

If you want the previous build's (0908) mixer_paths.xml file in any case just let me know as I already extracted it. Let me know your thoughts on this and if this is the reason for the low volume please revert back that commit from your sources.

Thanks again for the wonderful ROM.

Cheers :cool:
[Mi 3 Android Development] sajokj:
Low volume is the only bug. Any solution for this...

I hope this Rom does not have network speed in notification bar. Volume button unlocked is also missing
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Wait for the dev to fix it, he has already acknowledged that... Hopefully he will fix it in one of the upcoming builds... :fingers-crossed:

But in case you can't wait just extract the mixer_paths.xml file (you can find it in /system/etc directory) from the 0908 build and replace the current mixer_paths.xml with it and reboot the phone. It will resolve the issue of low volume.

About features, visit the Spike-Lab's G+ community (here is the link ) and request for it in the feature-request section. The team may consider it.

Cheers :cool:
[Mi 3 Android Development] sajokj:
Thank you. Can you please share the mixer_paths.xml file
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Here is the mixer_paths.xml file from 0908 build (I had to zip it as the xda site is not allowing me to attach xml file). After replacing the current one with this, reboot your phone once. Btw, to replace it you need have root explorer or an equivalent app.

Let me know after applying it how is the sound...

Cheers :cool:
[Mi 3 Android Development] sajokj:
Not able to apply this. As I.think the phone is not rooted. How to root this Rom
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Download SuperSU for here: link and flash it from the recovery and reboot, you will get root access.

Cheers :cool:

PS: I hope you understand that the previous zip what I have shared with you is not a flashable one. You just need to extract the XML file and replace it with current file on

/system/etc
[Mi 3 Android Development] sajokj:
Rooted the phone and then replace the file (then given proper permission) Restarted the phone . But No Change in Sound.
[Mi 3 Android Development] aniket.lamba:
Set the permissions accordingly.
[Mi 3 Android Development] sajokj:
I had given proper permission rw-r--r--
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
That's strange... because there is definite sound improvement on my Mi3. BTW, it also depends what kind sound you are expecting ;)

Another point, when I mentioned about low sound I was particularly referring to on call volume from earphone/speakers.

So 2 questions here:

1.Have you made any calls to check that?

2. If you are not referring to on call sound/volume then what you are expecting?

Please be specific then it becomes easy to troubleshoot... Otherwise it will be beating around the bush bro.

Cheers :cool:
[Mi 3 Android Development] sajokj:
Sure sorry my mistake . I didn't give details. I was expecting increase in call volume + ringtone volume. I.tried making calls after this. But it's same as before. Same with the case of ringtone too.
[Mi 3 Android Development] rajib4:
Hmmm... OK I will do one thing, will provide you a flashable zip tomorrow with the 0908 mixer file. Just to make sure there nothing wrong with the process.

One thing though I never bothered about the ringtone volume, so cannot say whether it increased or decreased compared to the previous build. But I am pretty sure the on call volume will increase.

BTW, whatever I wrote in my earlier post was based on technical facts not on guess ;)

All the Mi3/Mi4 ROMs which are using the CM Device Tree is facing this issue because of the last audio commit. Metallium is not alone here.

PS: Yours is a Mi3 or, a Mi4?
