I did init support via kernel auditor. And it working fine ;)

Unlocked 400MHz range, which was forgotten with xiaomi, battery backup is even better.

Anyway, I'm more than happy with xiaomi things and price bracket, recommending.

About Kenzo, Kate thing- all cm is running with Kenzo skin plus Kate's xiaomi native modem sw along with the camera libs.

And yes, bootloops are more often observed, comparing with Hermes. Things needs to be polished more. :)

[MENTION=2606021]cukierkas[/MENTION] Sounds like you have it pretty well sorted already. Will be rivaling a Skinny RN2 in performance (almost):rolleyes:

Any feedback on V14 or V15 or am I just entertaining myself??? There should be some noticeable network and general performance changes. Has this created any instabilities?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] cukierkas:
It's not running on Kate, so no feedback from me :)

About performance, battery backup and no lag feeling is the more welcome, so no performance is expected, at least from my side. I even don't have any games installed, or synthetic tests - so can't comment that either.

OT, by now testing the powersave governor..

I just flashed it. I'll report whatever I notice. Thanks for your work.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] DarthJabba9:
I've had no problems with v14 and v15. I can't say that I've noticed anything much either way - but then I hardly use the phone nowadays for anything beyond making calls and sending texts/WhatsApp messages.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Adam Hui:
I'm running v15 since u uploaded asap (sorry for being a silent reader for long time ;) ) As always there's improvements specially in network connection speed, battery. The only thing i'm curious is it possible to dig deeper to increase booting speed.

And the annoying bug was why my battery % increasing while the phone is charging? :laugh: :v
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=4666525]Adam Hui[/MENTION] Boot speed is as good as it gets. The biggest time-waster is loading components from theme and jar files. Someone with skills in decompiling / recompiling jar files could make great inroads into one of the last untouched areas for stock MIUI.

Latest MIUI versions seem to have trouble reporting battery level reliably. The next MIUI version will be a maintenance release to fix all existing bugs before introducing any new features:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Purely for amusement, I installed CAF6.01 on my old moto G ..... Wow! It is better than RN3Pro special edition now;)

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Adam Hui:
Your latest v.15 is combinating a bootloop with [MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] skinnied 6.11.3

Idk why, just flashing v15 after 1st reboot with both enabled/disabled perserv. Pls take a look at that.

Revert back to original boot.img & it worked.

I think I fell my phone more fluid with v15. Maybe it's placebo, but I'll continue testing it.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=4666525]Adam Hui[/MENTION] v15 is based on 6113 boot.img.

The Gyovany96 skinnied ROMs are removing and adding things that I would possibly not but as he says - it is his personal preferences that he is sharing.

I am on his 61013 and it is running fine so what has he changed since then? Step back a few versions of Skinny boot first and see if it starts behaving. They are all compatible at least back to v11.

[MENTION=6150156]jerryshaw12[/MENTION] Tell me you do not have a Xiaomi account enabled or Xposed installed?

It's possible that the 6.11.3 Skinny Tweaked Boot requires some specific apps/services to boot ? :/
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] The Skinny boot images do not depend on any apps being present but do break some Xiaomi specific communications if a user was to do something like setup a Xiaomi account or enable Find Device, have downloaded theme components that require communication back to Xiaomi etc. I have had no issues using your ROMs as a base and appreciate the reduced download size:good:

The expectation is that the chosen ROM is installed and got past the first boot setup stage before installing a Skinny boot image. It is also expected that the user install a fresh SuperSU.zip via TWRP and updates Busybox to 1.24 or 1.25.

If you really must....... Xposed should be installed after Skinny boot, not before.

It also pays to look at build.prop and disable unwanted items like:

persist.sys.klo=on

persist.sys.whetstone.level=2

and always check that:

ro.build.type=user

and never eng or userdebug

User experience usually varies because of what is not being disclosed;)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] vaselor:
[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] I'm still on Global 7.5.1.0. I'm a bit busy right now to do a clean MIUI 8 installation.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jerryshaw12:
the tweaked one has init.svc.fdpp disabled?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Gyovany96:
Very well said :):good:

So before installing Skinny Pro Boot the first setup configuration must be done and nothing else more ! Of corse your Skinny Boot will break some Xiaomi stuff but that's already mentioned by you in O.P. , users just got to really read the whole thread before posting...

Let's see if I get it right :

1. Clean Install my ROM

2. Flash your latest SuperSU

4. Flash your latest BusyBox

3. Boot and perform

JUST

the configuration screen

3b. Check build.prop if

ro.build.type=user

and

NEVER

eng or userdebug

4. Install Skinny Boot Pro image ,

DON'T

factory reset

4b. Wipe Dalvik Cache ( or it's not needed ? I usually wipe it )

5. Optional flash Xposed if you want
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7117356]vaselor[/MENTION] I dirty flashed from 7.5.50 to 8.0.20 without issue. 7.5.x is basically MIUI8 without second space and a couple of graphical changes.

[MENTION=6150156]jerryshaw12[/MENTION] fdpp is disabled since V6 along with second space. If find device has been enabled, the phone will try to contact Xiaomi at regular intervals and steal all you personal details and habits so these can be on-sold to anyone willing to pay for the data - and at some point, you will be locked out of your phone to see if you buy a new one or figure out how pathetic the find device protection really is.

[MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] Wiping caches is not needed after installing a skinny boot image as only the boot partition is written to. No files change in /system or /data that affect the contents of cache or dalvik.

I highly recommend disabling PerfServer in the build.prop. (Change ro.mtk_perfservice_support=1 to 0)

ro.build.type=eng or userdebug has been a problem in earlier russified ROMs but now they all seem to have settled on user. Still pays to check.

Xposed would have to be deinstalled first and then reinstalled after a first boot whenever a different skinny version is loaded. Users have to accept that Xposed will cause instabilities on MIUI, reduce performance and use more battery. Skinny boot images do nothing to help or hinder the operation of Xposed.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] acestars:
I tried :

1. clean flashed 6.11.3

2. flashed latest gapps.

3. flashed latest busybox

4. reboot for the first time.

5. flashed script to skinnifying.

6. wiped dalvik-cache and cache. then reboot.

7. flashed xposed

8. wiped dalvik-cache and cache. then reboot.

everything is okay but after i flashed skinny boot images the devices bootloop.

so what do you advise for this problem?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Gyovany96:
[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] Thanks for clarifying ! :)

I will add those steps to my thread so there will be no mistakes anymore :good:
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] vaselor:
[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] In that case, I'm not upgrading until Skinny Pro becomes unavailable to 7.5.1.0 :P. I'm satisfied right now.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=3885679]acestars[/MENTION] You are flashing Xposed before flashing Skinny boot. Uninstall Xposed, install Skinny boot, boot once before flashing Xposed again.

On the topic of Xposed bootloops with Skinny Boot images....

I have just gone through the process of installing Xposed plus a couple of modules to see what is going wrong. The answer is nothing is going wrong if you are using the latest and correct versions of Xposed framework and installer. There is nothing in Skinny Boot that would have any effect whatsoever in the functioning of Xposed. There may be a problem if you go wiping dalvik & cache while having an underlying filesystem error on /data.

Note that both Xposed and SuperSU switch out the existing app_process32 and app_process64 files. Xposed is not aware of SuperSU but SuperSU is aware of Xposed. Maybe it would pay to reinstall SuperSU.zip via TWRP after installing Xposed? This is untested by me as I don't have Xposed bootloops to start with.

[MENTION=3885679]acestars[/MENTION] And what is cool about 61110? All existing bugs fixed?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Adam Hui:
I've done it all, & [MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] 6113 has ro.build.type=user written. After 1st boot i also disabled perserv at build.prop coz skinny boot.img always disabled it & delete "whetstone" and "klo" line, i experienced lags if forgot to disable perserv after flash skinny img, coz hotplug & perserv conflicting.

[MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] how about just including [MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] 's latest img while packing your skinny eu ? Is it possible or not easy as that ?

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Gyovany96:
I tried to flash Skinny Pro Boot too and same bootloop result... Maybe it's because I didn't factory reset or I don't know...but I guess something conflicts cause I delete many apps... I'm sure that on stock 6.11.3 Skinny Pro Boot works !

Today the new Beta 6.11.10 update will be released and maybe the Skinny Pro Boot will work ( or maybe v16 it's needed to be build by jajk )

It's easy to include Skinny Pro Boot into my ROM's but that will mean that users have no choice to use any Xiaomi services again...so it will remain an Optional step for every user ;)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=3885679]acestars[/MENTION] If you create more than 1 zram then you need to control how they get used much in the same way as mcd services tries to. Take a look at /etc/mcd_default.conf to get an idea of how this is done. The problem with mcd service is it is prioritizing apps that no longer exist for most people or do not deserve priority. Creating 1 zram to give a general boost to the amount of available RAM is really all that is needed to stop apps getting killed too readily.

[MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] [MENTION=4666525]Adam Hui[/MENTION] Hmmm.... maybe another question needs to be asked: Has anyone successfully loaded v15 on the full EU 6113? Let's see what happens on 61110 - I will check if there are any ramdisk or kernel changes that need to be incorporated.

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] DarthJabba9:
I highly commend and am eternally grateful to [MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] for continuously trying to support new dev releases; but I wonder whether all these dev releases actually add anything useful to warrant constant upgrades? If new SkyNet kernels include updated Android security patches, then I would say that something useful is being added by SkyNet. However, I am on v15, but the Android security patch level is still from 1st August. So why is SkyNet bombarding us with all these updates (an attempt to re-assimilate us)? Perhaps we should free [MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] from the burden of constant updates so that he can conserve his energies for when SkyNet actually release something that we all need?

[MENTION=5850987]DarthJabba9[/MENTION] There have been no changes to the stock boot images for quite some time so little effort is required to update. The latest Skinny changes are not about what Xiaomi releases but incorporating cherry-picks from other devices and later Android versions.

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Adam Hui:
Absolutely this ideas first coming by you, so it's normal if u're the king. I've been still using skinnied gapps only for playstore.

So the problem is the kernel compatibility, possibly xiaomi did some 'restricted' for some disabled its bloat services/apps to protect its existence.

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Adam Hui:
It's not complicated as u think, from pico i just unistall sync, onetime init, partnersetup, marketfeddback, etc. etc. alas playstore still works.

Disable services by keywords health, pay, fingerprint, wear, etc.. this needs some trials & errors workaround.

But does it give you better speed or better battery performance? Those would be my main reasons for upgrading the modem firmware.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] bmdhj:
How come using [MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] ROMs (be it stable or beta) i get 2.5hours SOT. Cell battery drain is super high. When I use stock Xiaomi ROM unroot, I get 4H SOT. I have done practically every thing to do from Amplify, Greenify, Powernap Xposed, Wakelock blocker. Everything. The rest of ROMs are not as good as well. Is it something to do with Singapore 3g/4g modem? I live in Singapore that's why maybe I see people from other countries having good SOT.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Gyovany96:
[MENTION=6765673]bmdhj[/MENTION] Your phone signal consume way too much battery ! O don't know the real reason for that or how to fix it , but if you're having better results with other ROM's then better use them... That phone signal consume is really strange anyway... By 'stock' ROM you mean the MIUI Stock or the Xiaomi.eu Stock ?

Look at mine phone signal consume , that's the normal way...
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] bmdhj:
Hello bro, yes I use stock Global ROM Xiaomi unroot and normally it is 4-5hours SOT. I just didn't the laggy performance so I switch to yours. Hmmms. And i am on your latest beta currently. You really don't know how to fix it? :/ Other ROMs the same. I started to realise this on October...

UPDATE: I try to change from "LTE/GSM" to "LTE/UMTS/GSM" since my phonr carrier carries all 3 bands but your beta ROM won't let me change even when I click it. What do you think? Fix?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Gyovany96:
I can change bands on mine tho... On MIUI Global ROM you can change it ? You're saying that on MIUI Global you have good SOT but laggy ROM and on my ROM you have good performance but bad SOT , right ? You can try FULL xiaomi.eu ROM and see how it's working.

Anyway that's not the correct thread where we should discuss this...better discuss it on my thread ! :)
