[MENTION=7442305]Iliyena[/MENTION] I now always use osm0sis versions of busybox. I remove the install script section that creates a symlink for each and every command though;)

You have a keen eye to notice that I have shifted to noop scheduler instead of deadline. That came about because I noticed that on my Moto G, the more fluid feeling ROMs were using it. When you have a far lower powered SoC, everything change is more noticeable. Let me know if you think it makes a difference or not?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
I have shifted a bit between noop and deadline, it's just something that feels wrong when all changable parameters goes​ out the window :S

I soo want to use the SoC as a low powered one but always go back to some new extreme setting and then back to your values and all over again :P

Right now I am rockin' timer_slack -1, heh.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7442305]Iliyena[/MENTION] As long as timer_slack is equal or greater than timer_rate + min_sample_time + above_hispeed_delay everything is good. Disabling it will have negligible effect also. I too need as low power as I can get without hitting performance too hard. 5 cores @ 1625MHz is my recommendation. This is enough cores and freq steps for all the governors to scale nicely without getting over excited. Lower than this has no benefit.

The good thing is that you are testing and learning along the way - inquiring minds are an endangered species;)

[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] do you have any reason you chose miupro over xiaomi.eu or multirom?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
Tried using the phone with 3-5 cores @ 1469MHz or above whopping the performance gov? ;) Feels so nice :P
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=3885679]acestars[/MENTION] Curiosity mainly - MiuiPro has a lot of UI and settings tweaks embedded that the others do not. A little bit of Russia and China sneaks through but all adds to the amusement;)

Surprisingly, I think I will stay on Miui9 - it skinnies down quite well:good:

[MENTION=7442305]Iliyena[/MENTION] Performance gov is great at removing any lags and great if you have your own power station in tow:laugh:
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
Well... Can get things done faster and deepsleep is fine, that last hour of SOT gets lost though :P But it feels so good sometimes.

..and for MIUI9 MIUIPro its to bad they don't include a dark theme. The teal/white is so... blargh. Ugly. Doesn't everyone want a (semi)transparent dropdown? :( Thinking of going CM 12.1 again just for that. The themes I found on MIUI7/8 that supposedly had a transparent Notification Shade had messy Lockscreens or plain weird other stuff.

But to a question, does anything in your boot.img mess with the 6-way power menu since... May or so? First reboot to Recovery went fine via it but (I think) after flashing your boot MIUI8/9 v2 it does not boot to recovery but just to a black place until looong pressing power for resetting. :(
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7442305]Iliyena[/MENTION] Maybe..... I don't use the 6 way reboot normally but I see it has developed a problem. Let me look into it and see if I can fix it;)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
Just found that I could use just a bit of another theme onto the default. Like mixing in CM Theme Engine :) Beautiful.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
Soo, "forgot" to kill off the performance service in build prop (touchboost should already be set to 1 core @ 403 MHz, on Skinny v2 of MIUI9 Beta build of 14 sept, MIUI Pro) .) BUT still got >4h of SOT yesterday with some dubious settings, felt that the CPU scaled back as it should. But today the performance service got f**ked up and kept my phone pleasantly warm to the touch. Keep two cores @ 1183 or 1469MHz with a non real load of ~100% on cpu0. So weird... Anyone else experienced this?

I like that 3 finger screenshot, made one with my chin once though :P [MENTION=5216574]Gyovany96[/MENTION] Should perhaps write this in your thread but since the boot img is flashed it got intertwined between you and [MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION]

SkinnyPro_7914-v3.img uploaded. This fixes the 6 way reboot not going to Recovery problem.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
Those on-screen buttons are a fun addition, any way to get them stick on reboot? Gonna try 720p now :)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
Those dpi values always seem to show up differently. I use an app for changing resolution and density s mentioned a fewpages back ;)

Edit: 5.5" @ 720p gives a dpi 267, just me wanting to show that you cannot trust software ;) The app showing 320dpi (Root Essentials) is also showing it as 480dpi when in FHD ^^
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7442305]Iliyena[/MENTION] I wonder if that app is just issuing wm commands?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Iliyena:
Ye, I think so. But I like the timer that change things back if not accepted (unless phone crash to reboot?) and that it helps scale UI (dpi) to remove yet one step of me doing wrong ;) Clumsy fingers.

Or did you comment on Root Essentials? :)

All I know is that Nomone were not working as expected when I tried that app for changing resolutions and such

SkinnyPro_71012-v3.img uploaded.

Just a maintenance update - nothing new apart from updated kernel and support files from 7.10.12

A word of caution...... 7.10.12, in its stock form, seems to be the start of bringing in some sort of embedded Google spyware to add to the Xiaomi rubbish:rolleyes:

A new script called init.miui.google_revenue_share.rc is present but not activated yet. Something I will kill off in SkinnyPro boot images should it be present and activated in the future;)

You have seen the propaganda press releases about Xiaomi jumping into bed with Google...... this is the result - Enjoy:eek:

Thank you very much jajk. I'll stick to 8.2 as I'm happy with it and enjoy the latest security patch available, which is nearly one year old *sigh*

Thank you very much jajk. One question, how do you block spyware from connecting to Xiaomi? I recently found this hosts file (https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts), and it has lots of sketchy Xiaomi IPs. Is there a way to include all of them into Skinny Pro? Thanks again.

Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 2 mediante Tapatalk
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7117356]vaselor[/MENTION] Just add them to your existing /etc/hosts file. Unfortunately all phone manufacturers are in a position to abuse the trust of their customers and almost all do not hesitate to do so - Google has shown them the way. Reduce the number of Xiaomi provided system apps helps too - every Xiaomi app is 90% spyware.

It gets even more diabolical when malicious code is embedded into the SoC at the hardware level:eek:
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] vaselor:
[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] Yes, I did that. But I was also curious about how did you break Xiaomi communication from boot.img :P.

By the way, since this project is kinda dying (as a logical consequence of RN2 dying too), I wanted to thank you again for your work. I've learnt a lot of things from this thread, I'm sure I'll still learn a thing or two ;)

So any significant difference with the previous version?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=7117356]vaselor[/MENTION] The init scripts that are part of the boot image are where many of the undesirable Xiaomi services are triggered to start on every boot. I simply disable them starting by editing the scripts. Some nasty executable files are also removed to stop them ever being used by apps at the O.S level.

Xiaomi will release pure Android O for this phone just after the last one dies a natural albeit premature death - just to rub salt into the wounds of the owners of the least supported phone ever.

I have just bought a fresh battery for my Moto G 2013 based on the very stable and bug free 7.1.2 ROMs available for it and a high likelyhood that Oreo ROMs will also stabilize shortly. 4 years from a battery is pretty good but Motorola didn't set it to overcharge like crazy to claim another 10% battery capacity like Xiaomi does.

[MENTION=3885679]acestars[/MENTION] Only one significant change - the addition of init.miui.early_boot.sh and init.miui.post_boot.sh into the init process. These look like an attempt to improve multi-tasking. Whether or not they achieve anything is another question but they are present and enabled in this skinny version for you to figure that out.
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Crim Soukyuu:
Remember my freezing problems from way back? Well, looks like they are back with 9220 :x

The phone was draining battery like crazy before flashing the boot.img, which stopped afterwards.

But now the phone randomly freezes up for 2-3 seconds... just like then with 6.3.24 weekly xiaomieu back then.

[MENTION=3885679]acestars[/MENTION] Oh! Is that what you meant :laugh:

No idea what version you are running but MiuiPro adds a lot more GUI customization compared to Eu and can introduce such errors. Decompile everything, find the error, fix the error, recompile it and you will be good. to go. Or you can install 9.2.40 that fixes everything that has ever been wrong with our RN2 or go back to MIUI7.5.50 which just works;)

[MENTION=7117356]vaselor[/MENTION] Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit...... so it may have been partly sarcasm:rolleyes:

We all know that these later ROMs have not been built for RN2 for a long time so we see more things getting broken than fixed - a bit like the technique used by Microsoft (Windows Update) and Google (Security Updates) to break older platforms so you have to buy all over again. Is your phone performing better with less bugs than it was back in the 7.5.xx era?

[MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] Nah, you're right, it's not working better. I'm stuck at 8.2.1.0 because I can have the latest security patch available. It's the only reason I'd update.

If you are looking at the "Best SOT" thread then it's only that version. But beware there is no keyboard in it or Google apps. Have some keyboard apk on the phone for installation and download Google pico apps...read Release notes for this version.

Other then this, the rest is great. With my phone (same battery, same settings, apps and custom boot and init.d file) I Have easy 5h SOT where in any MIUI9 I barely hit 2.5h.

Sorry for the delay. I have been looking closely into the battery drain problem in later MIUI9 versions and conclude that it cannot be overcome - background cpu activity has steadily increased with no removable cause so I can only assume the Chinese have increased their data mining (oops, should I call that telemetry to make it sound less concerning?)

I too am going back to an earlier version and will cease to support MIUI9 versions.

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=5850987]DarthJabba9[/MENTION] Full source was released for 6795 long ago by MTK but it doesn't help when no vendor blobs to support junkyard no-brand hardware. All "development" failed because of this. Easy port from an LeTV sporting the same generic MB but it didn't help with supporting odd-ball peripheral hardware only Xiaomi used.

The RN4 has at least 3 different camera sensors, some more problematic than others. Mine has a "Samsung" sensor, and mostly behaves itself, but the best use of the camera comes from modded GCam apks. I learnt my lesson with the RN2 and waited until there were several good custom Nougat ROMs available before taking the plunge. But then it seems I was merely fortunate to get one with a "Samsung" camera sensor. The jury is still out on the RN5 (aka last year's China Redmi 5 Plus) and the RN5 "Pro" ...
