Glad to hear you guys have good experience on marshmallow. I am on lollipop still my model has not received upgrade (701L).

Was actually considering selling it. Think smaller would be okay as long as battery life is good. I get close to vanilla Android and I stop having notification issues!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtl999:
Seems the Galaxy Note7 uses PWM :(

It's a shame, because my (and some other peoples) eyes are too damaged to handle screens that have PWM (nearly all)

I wish Samsung would really do something about this once and for all, maybe have a hidden option to disabled PWM that is activated with those dialer codes, etc.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
what is PWM... excuse my ignorance
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
I think it stands for Pulse Width Modulation.... Basically it causes the displays to have a slight flicker to them at lower brightness settings as the display is switched on and off very rapidly.

Pretty sure PWM isn't something that can be turned on or off via software - it's how the display controller manages brightness levels.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
It can be controlled (diminishing its effects) via Lux Dash app
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace&tripleD:
Thanks Tiberiu,

I'm also interested in a solution to pwm, how can this app mitigate the effect of the flickering ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millab:
Unfortunately Pwm cannot be 'turned off' except possibly by having the display at full brightness all the time. Any reduction in brightness uses PWM.

Every LED screen and light is dimmed by PWM in any product on the market. The difference some people see (myself included) is the frequency used for PWM, and that is dictated by hardware or very low-level software in the display controller.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtl999:
Not 100% true. BenQ monitors and Macbook's (above 50% brightness) don't use PWM for example :D

Even then on the Macbook example it's still over 100Khz according to some contacts of mine.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtl999:
By leaving the actual hardware screen at full brightness and using an overlay to "dim" the image. Unfortunately this still has battery life implications and some phone screens still use PWM at full brightness, it's much less apparent but can still hurt me.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace&tripleD:
I know this is working on an ordinary LCD screen, but will it work on a OLED one too ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtl999:
In what way?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace&tripleD:
well the technology is different: on a LCD dimming by using a darker overlay will only affect the liquid crystal keeping the backlit at full power, but on a OLED not sure how it works at the pixel level - probably the only way a pixel gets darker is by starting to flicker. In this case a dimming overlay will still produce pwm...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtl999:
Your exactly right, and I believe it is implementation dependent and may have seen it in youtube videos captured at the right shutter speed. But it doesn't happen that way on all phones.

Also my cousin showed me his Moto X (AT&T version) and it appeared to be AMOLED but PWM free at any brightness. Anyone help me out and find what version it is? :D

I just messaged him and will edit if he gets back to me.

It was either a first or second gen Moto X that was AMOLED but didn't use PWM. A potential reverse engineering target? In any case I might be seeing him in Mid September so I would check again.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millab:
I don't think you understand... Just because you can't see the PWM effect doesn't mean that it isn't using PWM - it just means the frequency is high enough that your eye can't see the flicker. It comes down to the frequency the engineers choose to use
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
I don't notice any flicker on my Verizon Note 7.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace&tripleD:
congrats on ur note 7 :)

could you lower the brightness to less then 50% and do the pencil test ? and see if you can spot this type of pattern ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
No need for that. Look at any review of the Note where the screen brightness is lower, or a picture of the screen. You will see the "scrolling lines" effect which is a result of PWM frequency and shutter speed of the camera not matching up.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
PWM is annoying at lower frequencies. It seems the Note 7 panel uses a high enough frequency where I can't see it flickering.

I know it varies from person to person but that's luck of the draw I guess. Some people will have no issues while others will get headaches.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace&tripleD:
hi, did you try the pencil test at low brightness ? I haven't found yet a review that measures the pwm more precisely
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
I don't see any difference in the image at 0% and 25%. Not sure what I'm looking for. But no flickering for my eyes.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace&tripleD:
just have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QriSp-Ffgkg

there is definitely a stroboscopic effect on the pencil when moving it quickly
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtl999:
Oh I understand. That was just a visual test so not conclusive.

Want me to go visit him again with my DSLR that can record 60fps video up to 1/4000 shutter speed? :D
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtl999:
More info about Note7 PWM (use google translate)

http://www.notebookcheck.com/Test-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-7-Smartphone.173560.0.html

Very odd. :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ingenious247:
Can confirm, I can also see this effect when the brightness is low, particularly on a gray background. But I have very sensitive eyes, I can actually see the difference between phones with marginally different ppi even when it's above 500 ppi (which "supposedly" someone with 20/20 vision cannot even see..)

It bothers me to a degree, but I also know that it's just my vision is very perceptive. No way to undo that, and overall the screen is the best out. I keep my brightness at a minimum of 30% to ensure I never run into this issue.. but occasionally auto brightness will drop it lower when coming out of Netflix or the like due to the HDR function of the Note 7.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] deaddavey1:
if you pay for your phone (say £100 or so) from the vendor/service provider, does the phone remain unbarred to network when/if your contract is terminated early, or barred (non-payment, dispute etc)?

I would imagine so if the phone is "free" from vendor, as they own the phone, but what rights do you have if you at least contribute towards the price of the phone. Bear in mind that the £100 or so usually covers the mass trade price that the provider pays for the phone...

I had bad issues with my Orbit and high bill problems due to the known gprs issues. O2 did nothing to help me until I demanded my contract termination.

They acknowledged that, and while I am still getting bills (which I am disputing) I believe my actual service has been barred and terminated (I dont use it anymore anyhow so I wouldnt know). I did pay for the phone and as of now it works with a Virgin sim card.

Will this be barred in the future, or do I have enough legal ownership of the phone to make them not bother barring, or what?

Thanks.
[LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BR7fan:
I found this in XDA news. It works with the G5 and it looks good. They have the download link there

The only thing that doesn't work is widgets,iif you select it,it will crash
[LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yken:
without root?
[LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BR7fan:
Yep
[LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yken:
installed only the apk file and it works.
[LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BabelHuber:
Flashed zip via twrp (H850 with Fluence ROM). Everything works, including widgets.
[LG G5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fvc2000:
I flashed via twrp, widget crashes... h830.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bagindov:
Great, another new build!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] RoyMahameru:
thanks

cool bro:D
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] imagine92:
flashed this rom, getting several sod while idle.. :(
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Noted.. try using Sensei kernal, didn't have any sod from the evening. Anyway, I'll try to fix in the next build.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] imagine92:
which sensei version? using latest version sensei can't record video
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] ƒεηιx:
New rom cool
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] faizauthar12:
[MENTION=5352065]anbuchelva[/MENTION]

Sorry for the issue

It should be fixed now ,try to make a new kernel and test it
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Yea.. I recommended to use it for time being.. I can compromise video recording but not SOD
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
new build is up, link updated in post#2

i couldn't test it for a long time as i am using AOSP-OMS build.. it would be great if someone tests and provide feedback.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bagindov:
what about camera quality?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Nihhaar:
Installed this ROM. Good Looking. Not Incredably smooth. Camera quality is good.

Landscape status bar dropdown is a bug? Detailed review after 2 days.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
New build is up.. see post #2 for download link
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Nihhaar:
The last build with sensei kernel is super awesome except camera bug. Recently flashed 0.8, so I will flash again if 1.0 is released.

BTW Is nav bar issue fixed? Enabling soft keys is not disabling hardware keys. I used some workarounds but I am not satisfied with it.

Good work. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Not yet, is an upcoming feature..
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
new build is up.. change logs will be updated soon. flash at your own risk!!
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Nihhaar:
[MENTION=5352065]anbuchelva[/MENTION] is back....... :D
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] tech_addict:
Stable?

Does fm radio work?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] ashishtapare:
mobile data not working!

otherwise all ok
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bagindov:
Maybe u need to configure the apn manually, just like aicp android
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] ashishtapare:
apn setting is already there.

Settings are already there. but dint know why mobile data is not working.

data roaming also on

network reset setting done still not working
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] vcarlos:
Confirm this.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
go to "system/build.prob" in root explorer and add these lines at the bottom

ro.use_data_netmgrd=false
persist.data.netmgrd.qos.enable=false

save and reboot.

this has been fixed in the build 1.1
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] flt.vishal:
only

ro.use_data_netmgrd=false - this line is added in your new build.

persist.data.netmgrd.qos.enable=false - this is not

my data does not turned on so i check and found this. when i add the second line and restart data starts working.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Yeah. I have corrected it in 9th sep build, I guess you are using 8th sep build.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] flt.vishal:
So only this was changed right , nothing else.. so i will not flash latest build .
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
No changes between 8/9 and 9/9 except, Mobile Data fix
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] flt.vishal:
i can now say that , finally i got a rom which is stable , has no bugs , perfect of all the other roms present now . I was using nameless rom which has only bug that voice call volume was very low. here its OK . Keep it up bro and thanks a lot . by the way can u tell me which kernel is there in this rom because its the smoothest of all and fastest also . :)

And can u please tell that VoLTE can be enabled on this rom or not?? I mean can u add this feature or its not possible for MI4i
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
All roms become fast and stable, because of the updates in device/kernel trees.

kernel source is here: https://github.com/Ferrari-Dev-Team/android_kernel_xiaomi_ferrari

VoLTE - no
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] flt.vishal:
Seriously :crying: means we never expect voltee
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Better ask xiaomi, you paid them.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] shekhi_jas:
Excellent ROM. Loving it. Low on memory usage and very fluid. Got all the necessary features.

Things I did to make the ROM more usable

- Due to the hide Search Bar problem (mentioned below), I had to install CM13 Trebuchet launcher

- Also installed the CM13 file manager

Two bugs that I noticed:

- For dual sim usage, every time I restart the phone and sim assigned for data changes automatically

- Home page (Slim Launcher), the hide Search Bar option, only hides the bar, but space (on home page and all other pages) remains unusable

- Setting app crashes once in a while when I access the Privacy Guard option

Things that I still miss in this ROM (but NOT a reason for me to give up the ROM)

- Clear all apps in recent apps menu

Other observation

- Battery drains rapidly when phone is in use. However, the drain is low when phone is on standby. (I have installed Greenify)

I hope the ROM keeps getting updated for critical security updates from Google.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] shekhi_jas:
A few more bugs noticed after few days of use:

- The phone heats up crazy HOT (close to 60 degrees) while charging

- Bluetooth isnt working
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] c0urier:
Bluetooth works fine, but for me push notifications are not working for some reason. Any suggestions?

Was a clean install.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bainarqi:
steam app not working

my steam app can't recieve a sms from the steam, but other app can, pleas fix this
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Nihhaar:
Wtf! Stop spamming bro! No ROM supports VoLTE for your info, and stop this.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] flt.vishal:
Actually i was asking .. not telling.. i dont knw .. someone told me .. that's why i was confirming here.. :(
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
If you have any questions/clarifications, post in the Q&A section, not in the development section, especially not in all the threads.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Radentbee:
I've tried 1.3, there are several obstacles, such as instagram app can't play the video, and it is difficult to download large files in PlayStore, example I download vainglory,

Sorry for my bad english :(

Thanks for the good performance of your rom :svetius:
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Contact your service provider for internet connection issues..
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] nightwalkerx22:
That was harsh [emoji13]
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] robbayani:
tomorrow i'm trying this rom.. this rom is very2 slim, until there is no Music & File Explorer/Manager.. hahaa..

2 apps above is important for stock..
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Bastiary:
LOL, you can download it from playstore. I guess you had never tried Slim rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] robbayani:
yupss i can install from playstore or my backup apps.. butt i still don't know why Slim Team removing important apps like File Explorer :-s

#btw how to install my backup apps since no file explorer to explore my .apk?? i'm lazy sign-in google because i'm using 2step verification..
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bagindov:
Complain to slim rom team, I'm sure they have email address :)

Quit whining.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] flt.vishal:
Anyone facing low voice calling volume in latest rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] :
deep sleep

i got a deep sleep 4 times since i flashed the latest build, and need to hold power button to restart the phone in order to restore its functionality....:confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Nihhaar:
Lol. Due to proximity sensor. I had this problem too. Rohan fixed it. If this build is updated it will be fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bainarqi:
steam app

hello,

I try this rom yesterday, but when I'm login into steam app and that app try to send me a sms, but the sms never recieved.

I try to other app, like whatsapp and line massanger, and it work, they can send sms to me.

And before it, I try in other custom rom, like cm13 and beanstalk, and it work, they can recieved sms from steam app.

This custom rom is very awesome, but I can't login to my steam app because it.

please help me.

and one more, icon and other appareance is look small, how I can make that bigger?

thanks to

[MENTION=5352065]anbuchelva[/MENTION] and other developers.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] flt.vishal:
Go to display settings and change DPI settings to default .

Now tell me about the voice call volume.. is it ohk or low then usual ?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bainarqi:
call volume is fine for me, for this time

is this rom dev. discontinued? why? this amazing rom
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Time is the problem.. I'm not even getting enough time to sleep.. sorry guys.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] faizauthar12:
for everyone

please don't push the developer to continue the project

it depends on their free time doing this project..

if you're not like that agreement, you can make it by your self

well, it's pretty easy to make

rather than maintaining the whole code

check xda chef central, there is a lots of guide over there
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] bainarqi:
thanks for this rom, this is awesome

good luck bro:cool:
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Nihhaar:
Yup!

2 days Using This ROM , Very Smooth , No Bug Until today :) . little problem Flashlight menu doesnt works

and Please add button for close all recent app :) , now must drag (close) one by one :)

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Flashlight - confirming the issue, it works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes.

Recents - it's the AOSP way

Edit:

If you are using slim regents, just pinch with two fingers, will close all the apps.

How to activate double tap to sleep status bar?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
Double tap status bar to sleep isn't there in slim.

Instead, you can configure it for navbar buttons or in home screen gestures.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] SunitTalwar:
Have you also sold your device ??

no more updates on this rom ?? :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] anbuchelva:
I had two mi4i, but I'm not using them as I gave it to my family members. I can compile roms when I get time for testing & if they let me use the phone for a day!

edit: moreover there is no user base for SlimRoms. 32 downloads in last 2.5 months. I guess no one is currently using SlimRoms in mi4i ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] SunitTalwar:
I have a week off before i join work so i could test a few builds for you if you want .

Most of the people are shifting to other phones due to lack of updates from xiaomi also coz many wanted volte which was never given .

All i need is a rom which does not lag and heats up in my pocket while listening to music and battery should last atleast half a day and no drain issue during sleep (doze mode in android 6 plus)

Slim roms were good as they are light on resources and offer something different (slim recents ) in comparison to all other nougat roms

You could try building aospa rom PA as i few people have requested it earlier
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] m4rdi26:
I have sold my mi4i too and now im using sony xperia for daily driver, if mi4i have sd card slot maybe i Will keep using it, unlimited storage is the problem
