[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] mpourfath@gmail.com:
thank you, but few questions : does the wallpaper have fixed position in your theme? or this is a bug in my phone?

is it possible to homogenize the back button with another keys?

and the sidebar titles of menu are don't legible (because of their color ...). thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Toxizen:
It's fixed position. And it looks great. As I had to take permission from the photographer to use his picture. He gave me this awesome photo. And with fixed position the lady looks great.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Toxizen:

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] xdmatt:
Your theme is very beautiful, and I love the navigation buttons!

Could you please make another version with lighter color like amber or white?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Toxizen:
I will make when I will get enough time
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Toxizen:
Theme with stock navigation bar now available
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] pRakitik:
Just the same issue with your another theme! The volume colors are quite unreadable!! Can you please fix?

Yes the navigation bar is really nice. But the color is not that much brighter to catch up. If you have enough time please make the theme a little brighter. Also remember the volume colors fix. Thanks.

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] k o v a l:
Really beautiful theme, but is it possible to change the keyboard accent color to match the theme? It is orange now :(
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] pRakitik:
In the landscape mode the navigation bars looks really usual!! Can you please fix this issue?? Thanks in advance.

I have - but I'm not brave enough to try installing it :rolleyes:
[Redmi Note 2 General] chris5932:
It is pretty good, I can confirm that logcat dos not show any errors. There does not seem to be an autobrightness issue. However, I do not like the design..
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
That's encouraging (ie, minus the design preferences). What does battery life look like?
[Redmi Note 2 General] chris5932:
Just did a quick test and went back to jo-san. Cant say anything about battery. Seemed like the other asop (but thats more a guess). Test yourself ;)
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
You went back to delirium protect v3?

What's the difference?

I might change to aosp soon but don't know yet which one
[Redmi Note 2 General] chris5932:
No, I use the sense version. It has some bugs but for me it is acceptable (you wont find a perfect asop).

I just had one bug where I needed to take out battery (I could not unlock the screen although phone was still alive).
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
I installed this with the flashtool. It seems okay, and the interface (bog-standard Android?) is more familiar (to me at least) than the Miui interface.

Problems so far:

* seems not to support 5G WiFi (the Xiaomi ROMs support 5G WiFi) [

Edit

: miraculously, 5G WiFi is now working! ]

* battery percentage not shown

* can't see the patterns that you are drawing, if you are trying to protect the lock screen with a pattern

* my antivirus program doesn't like any of the themes apks that the Theme Manager is downloading (perhaps these are false positives - but I happen to trust my antivirus program)
[Redmi Note 2 General] syl0n:
What kind of screen on time are you getting? On the AOSP ROMs I struggle to hit 2 hours and day of use so i went back to MIUI.
[Redmi Note 2 General] chris5932:
With deactivated touch boost I get almost 2 Days of moderate usage, SOT is 4-5h.

2 hours is not normal id say..
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
Yes, pattern unlock is a bit tricky, you need to draw an invisible pattern before Smart Lock becomes available. Then there is an option to make the pattern visible. Maybe proceed with caution :)

[IMG="Screen Lock Pattern"]http://i66.tinypic.com/1079aop.jpg[/IMG]

Here are excerpts from comments I posted about the rom in another forum:

"A couple of days ago, I noticed the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Cinafoniaci AOSP Rom on Needrom. It took my interest because the creator, Simone Quarrera is also the developer of Space MTK Tool [project to update MTK Droid Tools for 64 bit devices].

I have been using the rom for a day plus & so far it is excellent. I am most impressed that the latest version of Xposed Installer ran immediately without issue. Last week, I tried AOSP Rom V3 by MD Steam, but Xposed wouldn't work, so I quickly abandoned it. I was resigned to staying with Miui & waiting for WSM Tools [Xposed alternative] to be updated to Miui 7. But now, I am happy to be back in familiar aosp territory. I like some things about Miui, e.g. beautiful themes and the stock apps, camera, compass & browser [smooth flash player]. I have made a custom backup of my last miui rom, so can go back & compare some time.

On first boot, the rom gives the option of retaining apps & settings from the previously installed rom. I didn't choose this option, preferring Titanium Backup to set up. Here are some features of the rom:

Material TWRP 2.8.7

Mobile Space Tool – includes Xposed, SuperSU, ADBD Insecure, Eng. Mode, Cpu Freq, Viper4 Android FX, Custom Themes

Stock Launcher is similar to Nova/Apex but with less options & can be coupled with the rom's themes

Miravision & ClearMotion

OTA updates – work in progress, I think

Notification leds working, but are not included in System Settings. A third party app is necessary. I am using Light Manager.

Battery life seems similar to Miui 7. Here is a screenshot of screen on time with battery at 57%:"

[IMG="Partial Screen On Time"]http://i64.tinypic.com/293aof8.jpg[/IMG]
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
Thanks. But IMHO, that is a bug.
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
I think the developer will appreciate any feedback on bugs. Probably, the best place for this is Needrom [unless you're able to post in the Italian forum].

By the way, I don't use a screen lock, so pattern unlock is not an issue for me....

I am really happy with this rom & will likely stay with it. When I have time, I will under clock to see if battery life is extended. On miui 7 v. 5.11.1, I under clocked to 1.625 Ghz as the phone felt hot in the hand [I live in a hot climate]. I was surprised to see that on screen time life extended way beyond 6 hours [note: not 'normal' conditions, i.e. at home, wifi on, mobile data/gps/bluetooth disabled; ds battery saver to limit wake locks ]. Under clocked, the PC Mark Battery Life Test result was 6 hours 56 minutes [average for RN2 is 6 hours 4 minutes]. For me, under clocking didn't affect performance on the miui rom. Edit: Under clocked to 1.625 ghz → some lag in task switching/opening apps, no improvement in battery life.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
[MENTION=5542767]kusala[/MENTION] thank you so much for your review

I was thinking about trying aosp too, mainly because of xposed and because some things of miui need to be improved yet in my opinion

However I need to decide between this and delirium proyect, maybe I'll try both. Did you try that one?

On the other hand, just for curious why are you so xposed dependant? Which modules do you need more?

And...anyone has a reliable zip for recovery of cinafoniaci? :)

Thanks
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
I haven't tried Delirium. The reason I flashed the Cinafoniaci rom is because I have seen other work by the developer & have confidence in his ability. If you contact Simone via Needrom with a request for a custom zipped rom, he may be able to help. I made a custom backup of my last miui rom, so wasn't concerned about using sp flash tool.

Re xposed, I currently have 13 modules installed. The ones most useful are Gravity Box [so many options], RecentApp Clear [improves recent apps in the Cina rom], Fix Lollipop Memory Leak, YouTube AdaAway & Xposed Torch [vol up activates torch when screen off].
[Redmi Note 2 General] prefor:
I'm having a hard time to choose between Sense7 or Hybrid.. Have you tried both ROMs? IF so, which did you like most? :D
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
So useful, thanks mate :)
[Redmi Note 2 General] razorinc:
I think chinese made a zip for recovery: http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-598296-1-1.html

download: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qWKPiqg (pass:ruyi)
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
Is it reliable? Anyone tried..?
[Redmi Note 2 General] razorinc:
ofc it is reliable, I always flash roms from ydss....
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
Ok thanks mate

Btw I'm trying delirium v3 and battery is so bad

Anyone has impressions about this one? I guess is like the same... Aosp might be all worse in battery
[Redmi Note 2 General] razorinc:
Actually I like aosp more then miui... This is my sot on mirmer aosp (manual brightness, 3g, wifi, few calls, whatsapp, most of the time web browsing):

adult image host
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
Awesome :0

That's as good as the miui battery... So far I am noticing very bad consumes in the aosp I tried. Tomorrow I'll give a try to that one

Btw you haven't tried Cinafoniaci right?
[Redmi Note 2 General] borg79:
I have a bit confuse about the roms in that forum, which is the best in terms of speed and battery life ?
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
My experience is that the Cina rom's battery life is similar to miui, but I haven't done any tests on it.

I am in the process of making a flashable zip version of the Cina rom & will let you know when it's complete.....
[Redmi Note 2 General] razorinc:
I am little bit short on time, but I will try for sure...
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
Which forum?

Ok good to hear :) thanks

First I'll try the rus v2 which they said is good too

Btw note that Razorinc already put a link for flasheable zip a few post ago ;)
[Redmi Note 2 General] syl0n:
How do you get so good battery life? I struggle with 2.5 hour SOT on MIUI and 2 hour on AOSP. Minimum apps only 1 email account syncing, 1 whatsapp and that's it. Don't even use google now. Do I have a fake Redmi?
[Redmi Note 2 General] JakobiE:
Same here. I don't have good battery life with my Note 2. Standbytime usually sucks very hardly. Don't know why..
[Redmi Note 2 General] oldslowdiver:
Hi, did you eventually test GPS? Does it cover A-GPS, Glonass, Beidu as Miui?

Is there a Radio FM app included?

Thanks!
[Redmi Note 2 General] kriegaffe:
can someone confirm that auto brightness is FULLY functional?
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
If interested I PM the dev and told me soon will be uploading some twrp backup of his rom

Btw I read in the Italian forum people complains about battery
[Redmi Note 2 General] oldslowdiver:
It is not, - as mentioned on Cinafoniaci forum in Italian
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
I wasn't able to download the rom from that link. I also tried making a custom rom myself, but it wouldn't boot [first attempt making one :)]

Here is the download link for the twrp backup files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzS-eYodsC5YamJBdkI5Z0ZVeWc/view

Flashing instructions - you'll need to translate into your own language: http://www.cinafoniaci.com/kunena/modding/1693-xiaomi-redmi-note-2-cinafoniaci-rom

I think battery life is probably better on the Miui rom, but I am finding some basic functions more reliable on the Cina rom, e.g. wifi connectivity & usb cable - pc connectivity.

GPS signal is maybe stronger than Miui rom. Glonass satellites are showing. Where I live in Australia, I don't usually see Chinese satellites.. There is no FM radio app

I tested Auto Brightness [Adaptive Brightness in Settings] and it seems to be working okay. However, I don't normally use this feature, so my assessment could be incorrect.

------------

OTA Update 1.0.1

Changelog:

Fixed Light Sensor

Fixed Auto Brightness

Added Support for Colored Keyboard

Added Support for Youtube background player [with stock app]

Added File Manager

Some Other Tweaks

I haven't tested all these updates, but the file manager is light & snappy.

Hope I typed the Changelog details correctly - can't access it now to check :)
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
Thanks for the info and the twrp :)

However I won't try the rom so far, I'm seeing all aosp having much worse battery than miui... Although for the rest they are really good
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
This has not been my experience. I haven't found any significant difference in battery life. I still get 2 full days of light/moderate use - same as with miui.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Javi22:
You must be lucky, I have read lot of commentaries saying the same ? that with miui get much better life

Even in the Italian forum of cina people note that battery is not good
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
Perhaps it all depends on your individual device ...
[Redmi Note 2 General] JakobiE:
I'd say it is your provider, signal strength, which apps are using push, so on so on..
[Redmi Note 2 General] prefor:
Where can i download that mirmer ROM? The battery life looks great! :D

[Redmi Note 2 General] mity93:
I tried this ROM, it not bad!

Now I'm trying other ROM based on miui, but I'm sure i will re-try it
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
I have tried some other aosp roms & various miui roms, but Cina is the one that works best for me. However, I haven't been able to complete an Antutu test with it. The test will start & after a short while, the phone reboots. I was wondering if others have experienced the same, or could it be just the way my phone is set up? I've had no issues using Antutu on other roms running exactly the same apps etc. It doesn't really matter as I know the rom performs very well. Even under clocking at 1.625 ghz, everything is smooth & snappy, with no lags. (I reset cpu speed to normal & rebooted before trying to test with Antutu)

Edit: After posting above, I decided to wipe dalvik & cache and try Antutu again. On the first instance, Antutu crashed at 31% [cpu float test] & the phone rebooted, but on the second instance, the test completed with a result of 40,712 - not a very high score, but I will try again later when the phone & room temperature are cooler → better later result. 44,484.

Beware: I just installed & ran Antutu version 6. The new parameters gave a score of 51,000 [top score was the Huawei Mate 8 with 90,000+]. However, straight after the test, the phone shut down & wouldn't reboot. It was necessary to remove the battery before powering up. Also, when uninstalling the app, screen behavior became quite erratic. It seems this version of Antutu & the Cina rom are not a good mix.

I decided to re-flash the Cina rom to see if the problems described above re running Antutu v. 6 persisted. The first test after flashing had a score of 51,449. However, a second test caused the phone to reboot. Anyway, I won't continue with the tests as the rom is running very smoothly - no issues at all :)
[Redmi Note 2 General] cYbOrG5:
Any mega or other mirror?
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
On Needrom the download link 'Redmi Note 2 Cinafoniaci Rom' is for Mega: http://www.needrom.com/download/xiaomi-redmi-note-2-hermes-cinafoniaci-rom/

Let me know if you have any problems downloading the rom & I'll pm you another link.
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
I had problems with bluetooth phone calls in my car. People on the other side of the phone call could hear me, but I couldn't hear them - unless I when speaking to someone on a fixed land line. So I've had to go back to Miui.
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
Hi DarthJabber, no harm in posting the bug on Needrom as the developer may be able to fix it. It's been a while since the last OTA. If one comes through, I'll mention it here.

Another custom rom with fairly good reports is cm 12.1: http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-2/development/cm-12-1-redmi-note-2-t3267126 A different version is available on Needrom.
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
Thanks. All the AOSP-based ROMs that I have tried have exactly the same problem, so this seems to be an AOSP issue. I would be surprised if the CM-based ROMs didn't have the same problem. For me, it is a show-stopper; but I prefer AOSP to Miui, so I will try to find a solution myself.
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
If you do have to return to miui, at least, there is now a method for installing xposed framework :) http://en.miui.com/thread-182209-1-1.html
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
Thanks. So far, I have stayed away from xposed, and I probably won't use it.
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
Camera problem

I have been using this rom for some time and generally, have been very pleased with it. However, recently, when I was using the camera, it 'froze' and the only way to restart the app was to reboot the phone. I tried alternate camera apps, but they also 'froze'. I am now using a modified miui rom* where the native camera app works very well.

Another [lesser] problem which I previously reported to the developer is that the phone won't boot after shutting down via 'schedule power off' or a software app. This happened to me a couple of times and the only way to boot the phone was via twrp. The way to avoid this problem, of course, is to shut down only with the power button.

* Angels & Demons, which also has excellent battery life.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Namaless:
With the most ported roms we have a hardware problem (sometimes camera, sometimes radiofm, sometimes other) so when you install a ported rom you need to check this :)
[Redmi Note 2 General] kusala:
Thank you very much for your reply.

I should have been more explicit in my previous post. The camera app works on the cina rom, but 'freezing' occurred when I was taking multiple photos in very hot conditions. Using the Angels & Demons rom in the same conditions, the problem did not occur.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Namaless:
Some aosp/cm give some hardware problem, the best if you need this use a miui rom :)
[LG G Flex] bgsitizen:
I have been comparing both devices side to side pretty much all day and again I proved to my self that as of now there is not a phone worth replacing my beloved G Flex.. Unfortunately this little experiment will cost me $50 restocking fee but oh well.

Here is what I got so far:

Screen - Flex is a clear winner here not only by size but the V10 doesnt even come close to the how vibrant and beautiful the Flex screen is. I compared both phones running Leo's Fortune game and the furry ball was positioned on the exact same spot and also a good quality movie which I synced. The difference is just enormous with the Flex providing deeper crisp colors and true black while the V10 looks washed out and almost like some smoke filter was applied. I asked several people at work and they picked the Flex right away and were shocked thats an older phone. Also due to its size the Flex displays larger gaming image in the above game and some things arent even visable on the V10.

Performance - The V10 is snappy no doubt but so is the Flex not far behind. When playing the above game though the V10 is choppy while the Flex is smooth as butter. I prefer the Flex.

Phone size and weight - the V10 is literally as big as the Flex but with a smaller screen and it feels heavier. Of course its better looking than the Flex somewhat but thats not enough for me to keep it.

Second screen - cool concept and I can see it being useful but when you play a game or watch a movie you get an annoying gray stripe one the side of the screen and its not the same size so OCD guys like me will go crazy looking at that thing. I wish they made it turn off completely when in landscape but no it stays on and since the blacks are really gray its pretty visable.

Battery - I wont even bother lol

Some other things I dont like - No settings for Color temperature or Screen mode. That sucks because the colors are very cold.

I dont see LED notification and thats a huge letdown.

I also wish that second screen had some more functions when the main screen is off rather than just show me the time and four icons I cant change.

Also the screen reflects badly coming from the curved Flex with which reflections are reduced to minimum.

The V10 is hard to grab from the table and I can't put it on its face like im used to with the Flex.

What I like - Removable battery, SD Card, Looks and Camera

I know I should have known most of that but I thought I give it a try. So far its a no go.

I am keeping it for 14 days to get my $50 worth and I will be comparing both phones in different scenarios so I you want to know something in particular just let me know and I will compare side by side for you.

It looks like some of will be rocking the Flex longer than we thought.
[LG G Flex] Daughain:
Well, the 4.4.2 update for the Flex caused me to search for a new device. Like you I chose the V10, primarily because of the durability claims. I mountain bike and it will be nice if I don't always have to stress over my phone when I take a fall. Unlike you, I have found that the second screen acts as a notification area when I play games. I will get texts streaming across it, as well as email and other notifications. Having been using them both, I can't really argue most of what you stated.

However, On the plus side which you haven't mentioned;

Root took me all of about 15 minutes on the V10. Unlocking the bootloader is as easy as booting to bootloader and following the on screen instructions. It took me longer to install adb and fastboot on my laptop.

Once you spend the time to configure the second screen, it is quite useful. I have an assortment of information up there, main screen on or off.

You never mentioned the fingerprint scanner unlock, which I am now addicted to

Or wireless charging. Yeah, it may cost a little extra, but once you are used to it, you feel deprived without it. And considering the V10 can be had for considerably less than any other halo device, even with the extra cost, you are getting away cheaper than anything else.

I loved my 959 and am currently looking at ways to root it( very badly, since I am a bit out of touch here), but still trying.

I am also extremely happy with the V10, even if the whole package is not *better* than the Flex.
[LG G Flex] vivebatu:
Well there is no doubt in my mind that even now G Flex is pretty tough to beat.. I have had the flex for 1 year now and have

100 apps installed and it is still smooth, no lag whatsoever..the camera is amazing, resolves a lot of detail and takes beautiful pictures.. There are many many things to like and the phone has an enduring appeal.
[LG G Flex] Daughain:
Like I said, I loved the 959. I was just getting sick of never having signal. The 4.4.2 update caused me all kinds of headaches that I am now looking into since bricking it won't leave me stick anymore. ?
