This is for advanced user only.

Root not included but Google services yes. This is a stock ROM, with 50 langages included.

If you don't know what are adb command, root, TWRP, don't follow this guide.

Don't blame me if you brick your phone, kill your cat or burn your house.

For UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY

To install the rom, extact the system.img and boot.img from the rar/zip in the same folder than adb.exe and fastboot.exe.

Then, reboot your phone in fastboot mode with volume down+power.

Plug in to your PC, open and cmd prompt (maintain left shift on the keyboard, right click in the adb/img folder with the mouse and select open cmd prompt here) and write :

Wait 15min.....then:

Flash TWRP with fastboot....

(fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img)

Make a data/cache wipe in TWRP recovery

When it's done, press power for ~10sec to reboot your phone.

Wait.....(15-30min)

Set up the phone in English, and don't set your Google account immediately.

Once the setup wizard is done,

Do whatever you want.

You can also try to flash the ROM with MiFlash. I didn't tried but it should work, and will be more easier for new users.

If you wanna install root :

Flash SuperSU (last version) in TWRP.

If you can't access your sdcard, wipe the internal storage (sdcard), reboot to TWRP and wipe it again. Then, reboot... Wait... Setup your phone again. Reboot to TWRP and flash SuperSU.

Your phone got now decrypted data partition to allow TWRP flashing files.

Just a heads up if this ROM pack has Mi App Store in it it can't be posted on the site/in the forums.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vegasphinx:
No Mi app store in this rom, however, there's some nasty bloatware on it. I don't know which one, but after using it for some time, when the screen idle for a long time (I updated a game data), there's this huge fullscreen popup with ads on it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
Most of the bloatware on these ROMs can be removed. Were you able to uninstall them?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
There is nothing more than a official dev ROM.

I don't have any pop-up after a long idle time.

Not sure it came from system app, check your installed app please.

If you suspect something running in the background, just delete it from system/app manually or with titanium backup.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vegasphinx:
unfortunately, I haven't unlocked my bootloader so I don't have root. The rom already loaded on my phone when I bought it. Don't know if the bloatware are from the rom or someone else installed it into phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
:-/, good luck guy. Since I don't have this problem with this ROM, I suppose someone added a bloatware on your phone before selling it.

You can install the dev ROM by the official way, your phone will be in English but you will got a clean install with root.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dragon-tmd:
This is NO official Xiaomi ROM, it is a Custom-ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
People should stop advising this as it's not true. You need an unlocked bootloader or already obtained permission in order to get root.

If you haven't yet, you get a message in the root section of the security app telling you you need to unlock the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
If it comes with bloatware and needs TWRP then this looks like a scam to me. And not like an official firmware

Specially, the link to the dropbox is fishy! If the "official-global firmware" exists it's on the bigota sever of Xiaomi and all you need is the direct link, it's well hidden, but possible to find with a direct link.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
This is a leak of the ROM who was used for the MWC 2016.

Remember photos and videos of the event, the mi5 was multilingual. This is why the ROM is old and can't be found on miui.com...v 7.2.4.0
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
No bloatware at all on the ROM. Try and you will see. This guy have the ROM preinstalled by the seller, who probably putted some crap inside.

By the way, read the tutorial again. I said you can flash it with MiFlash too like any official ROM.

Stop being parano guys....
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
As said before! If it is leaked it's on bigota and accessible by the filename.

Until you can provide the link to the official XIaomi server, at least I won't risk it.

A custom ROM from an unknown source without any background information, and very little benefit isn't worth it.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

It's not about being paranoid!

This could also be a custom ROM from one of the Chinese scam resellers or worse.

And it's simple if it's official, it's on bigota.d.miui.com
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
I like your positive attitude :P

I just want to help people who have difficulty with English. For me this is OK, I'm on the last dev ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
The only problem I see with your topic is the official part.

You can only assume it is official, but you have no proof, no official link to the location of the file on bigota. So you do not know if it's official, knowledge you could prove. Where "I believe in bla..." doesn't require a proof.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
Ok i will change the topic name.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] secXces_debaki:
So.

I was rdy to give it a try.

It's a little de-bloated not much, but it helps to delete not 2000 Chinese Apps ( i am German)

The Version on this Shows me 7.2.4.0.0, why?

Maybe that we don't get any ota notifications or something like that?

So far it's the smoothest Rom, compared to latest Dev ( Lags for me whyever) , also to 7.2.8.

Gplay Apps are running much smoother then a manual install, don't find any background Apps which calling home or smth.

Also the battery life is for me on that awesome.

Dev -> Max 6 1/2 h SOT

7.2.8 -> Max 6 h SOT

This beauty -> 7 3/4 h SOT

Thanks for this work. :)

If I don't install TWRP, don't need to unlock bootloader .. No ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheUltrametricSpace:
If you don't unlock the bootloader! How do you want to flash? (You should not!)

It's your phone and you can do what you want with it, in the end. It's possible to flash stuff from the edl-mode, but well what do you do if you brick it?

Tu est sur qu'il faille avoir le bootloader de déverrouiller ?

Et puis je sais que en ayant le bootloader de déverouiller , il faut partir d'une Rom Dev pour flasher la rom, non ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
Tu peux partir de n'importe quoi pour la flasher, mais ton bootloader dois être déverrouillé :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
Thanks for sharing. This ROM resolved every single annoying issue I had with MIUI.

-- unable to completely stop the Xunlei download engine

--unable to set Google as search engine in default browser

--unable to remove all default quick links in browser

--removal of "recommended apps" prompt when using folders

--full English in Themes app (although paid themes are missing??)

--proper UK input available at default

--proper UK locale at default

--no calendar and contact sync issues with Google

--default app store now the Play Store (couldn't even change it before!!)

I'm sure there's more lol.

Awesome - thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SedyBenoitPeace:
Guys on the latest dev rom (in China) Xiaomi activated the double tap to wake, can you check if is it present in this "european build"? I think not because like i told it was added on China Developer Rom some weeks ago...but from your comments it seems that the rom is really good and hasn't any problem...maybe there are some features that they introduced in a second time on China Rom..thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
You are welcome, glad to know that the ROM solved all your issue.. No paid theme in global ROM, this is normal. I saw today that the official global rom is out.. Do you know what? This is the same build :). So it was a REAL official leak
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
Hmm, that's a shame. I actually like some of the paid themes and purchased a few. Oh well.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nesquix:
I'm happy to read your feedback! The official version just arrived today on miui.com ! And do you know what? This is exactly the same :P ! The translation is bad, so I prefer being on the dev ROM to get latest features and patche.

The double tap to wake is only available on the last dev ROM. Sorry :(
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jemeljsh:
Double tap to wake should not be a dealbreaker, while chosing between china vs global rom. At least in the latest china developer rom it's (DT2W) still quite bad in its execution - most of the times it will only work after Quadruple tap

and not double

tap :D + it consumes a lot of battery in comparison when this function is switched off.

Since I have used xperia z3 and lg G4 I can say that only in those two mentioned phones Double Tap 2 Wake works flawlessly without much influence on the battery, although in principle such feature would work the best only with amoled based screens - on amoled, in difference to lcd screens where black pixels are illuminated black, black pixels are actually just pixels that are not powered on, hence not consuming battery.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SedyBenoitPeace:
Well now it seems that there is also in the stable (at least China stable) however I don't know if it work well or not..

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kobashi100:
Double tap is on Chinese stable, has been for a couple of weeks now. Works okay for me.

My phone got OTA 7.3.2.0 last night by the way.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jemeljsh:
Update on this (DT2W and its impact on battery life) -> on the latest china developor rom DT2W has almost no impact on battery life while in deep sleep. When I am not using the phone at night (~0:00 - 8:00) during those 8 hours it eats up just 2% of the battery both with DT2W on and off. Previously with DT2W ON during the same time span it would eat up to 8%. In both scenarios sync, bt, location is off.

Although battery consumption wise there are improvements the feature as such still works after Quadrupple tap and not double tap, especially when trying to wake it up from deep sleep. Since I am using nova launcher prime, then I am waking up the phone with quadruple tap un putting it to sleep with double tap (Lock screen pass enabled).
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtho:
IIRC Nexus devices are supported for 3 years from the first day in the market. Under the assumption this also applies to the pixel c, am I right to assume that in autumn 2018 the pixel c will receive its last update with no other update option? (Or should I assume that installing a usual linux distro will be a viable solution by then?)

Regards

Tom
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Who knows, but I'm sure by then there will be devs building from AOSP even if Google decides to drop it, also it would be December not Autumn since the Pixel was released mid December.

Hello everyone :). Can anyone out there please take the Stock MHC19J image from Google, deodex it, and convert it into a flashable zip for me and others to use?

If there is already a deodexed version could you please link me to it?

Lastly, can anyone link me to the tools that are used to deodex a Marshmallow rom. I have searched all over the web and I can't seem to find any. I have a Windows PC.

Thank You in advance for whomever helps me :laugh:

I know there's call timers, but they can reset those from what I read. Then there's the VOID sticker under the cover ... and of course any scratches or anything ...

Is there any better ways to tell whether a device you bought from an E-Bayer is used or not? I got locked into a deal with this guy and now that I've talked to him he seems kinda shady...
[Off-topic] default013:
This is off topic? ehhh ... Under the "Off-Topic" forum it says that stuff here is "Anything not related to the phones" ... ehhh. I'm not the sharpest blade in the drawer, but something seems a little weird to me ....

Well, now that this is not under the device forum I posted it at, I have to mention that this is a Cingular 8525 phone.

I have formatted and flash my phone many times and the call timers do not go away. I would use that. I got my phone off ebay and she claimed to use it only a month. I could tell from the timers that was false and I got some money back from that lie.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee.dunkin:
Hi people today I updated an icon pack app from the play store which I have been using for some time called Immaterialis. Some time after the update I noticed the app drawer icon for this app changed to the android robot head and then something really weird happened on my home screen. My dropbox app icon changed to a Darth Vader head which tripped me out because my wallpaper is a star wars wallpaper. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it with titanium and it went away after a cache clear and reboot through twrp.

I'm sure its quite possible that this Darth Vader situation is unrelated to the icon pack update but I just can't get my head around it and I thought maybe my dropbox had been hacked.

I run several modules with exposed and basically any root mods I can without my phone spazzing out so I'm sure there is a number of factors that could be causing this issue, however I don't have any star wars themes etc other than the occasional wallpaper I import myself.

If someone could give me any info as I can't find anything on Google.

I have attached photos to show what system I am running and screenshots of the app drawer and home screen showing the Darth Vader head.

Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjeastin:
If someone was really hacking you, they would have completely been dicking with you, or stole all your **** without you knowing. Try a different launcher for the time being. And if you're really dead set on being hacked, use wireshark and see what goes where.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee.dunkin:
Cheers, don't you think the Darth Vader icon is a bit weird? I don't keep much in my dropbox anyway so they couldn't get much. I'm not overly paranoid about being hacked it just seems strange.

I'm only using stock launcher. How would a different launcher make a difference to security?

Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjeastin:
No doubt it's weird. But trying a different launcher would be to see if the icon is still applied. Of course, there is the possibility of one of your friends just messing with you

Stumbled upon this interesting box on AliExpress

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016...-0-OS-Amlogic-S905-Quad-Core/32612308601.html

Anyone has an opinion on this? I wonder if it's officially supported.
[Remix Mini General] oncouch1:
Interesting but is it vaporware?
[Remix Mini General] dommels:
They say it's in stock but I'll ask the seller.

Also curious about the 2GB ram option they mention. Seems more desirable for an OS like this.
[Remix Mini General] oncouch1:
See if they are rootable too. ;)
[Remix Mini General] dommels:
Okay, so I ended up chatting with one of them because they took a long time to reply.

There is no 2GB version available so I guess all those optional specs don't apply.

They say it's in stock and ready to be shipped. They also say the box is officially supported but now I'm not sure what that means exactly, support by Jide or Vensmile.

Wether it is rootable they couldn't confirm but isn't it already confirmed that Remix OS can be rooted?

Oh, I also asked if it's possible to install a stock image from a Vensmile S905 TV box to replace the Remix OS. They said that's possible.
[Remix Mini General] oncouch1:
With only 1gb Remix would be lagging.

As far as rooting goes, I know that the pc version can, the arm tablet can, but the mini not so easy.

Thanks for the information!
[Remix Mini General] dommels:
Guess it's a deal breaker for me too then.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2SR82:
Hey,

I have a short question.

Is it still safe to wipe Cache & Dalvik within TWRP when the SD Card is running at "Internal Mode" on Marshmallow without losing any data?

I have used the "Internal Mode" the first time since about 2 Weeks now on my Oneplus X with the Exodus ROM. I than flashed a new Nightly last week (within TWRP from Blue Spark) and directly after this the blue spark kernel and Xposed Modul. Finally I wiped Cache & Dalvik. After booting to the OS it tells me the the SD Card was not found and I noticed that it was empty :eek:

I have flashed new nightlies before and never had a problem with something like that, but previously the SD Card always was used as External Card and I always stayed with the stock Kernel of the Exodus ROM. So I'm unsure where the data get lost..

Could the problem be the Wipe Cache & Dalvik or perhaps the change of the Kernel in combination with the Internal SD Card Mode?

Hi,

i have installed the B330 for PLK-L01. It came with new icons (imgur. com/453jDMn - I am not allowed to post outside link, co please erase the space before .com), which i really like. Unfortunately I dont know where to find these icons for if i want to change the theme. For example the icons changed after I installed deodexed yoda rom. So now I cant change the theme if i want to keep these icons

Is it possible to download this iconpack somewhere?

I use apex launcher and i didnt download any specific theme or iconpack. These icons were simply there after i installed B330. I think that they were there even before installing apex, so it shouldnt have any connection to this launcher.

Thanks in advance.

I think they are not the default icons, you should check it again by installing Apex, so that we can confirm. :D :D

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] :
Hello everyone.

Lately I had this frustrating problem with formatting the cache through any recovery I ever had. ALWAYS!

How flashing a ROM goes:

- I'm powering off the phone and enter in recovery.

- I select Wipe Data/Cache (Or Wipe for a new ROM option in CWM)

- It starts by formatting data and next is cache, where I get stuck.

I don't have many options. I can either pull out the battery or wait a while. Oh, no worries, after 5 minutes of "formatting cache" it reboots, with the current ROM messed, obviously.

It's annoying because no one seems to have this problem and it happens every single time when I wipe.

Hope there is someone who will bother helping me out with this.

P.S. - I'm no expert, more like a noob, so don't ask me too-technical questions.
