[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
The solution for the bell is to use tasker and autoinput to basically auto-touch that spot on the screen everytime the screen turns on. It's stupid that is necessary but it works like 95% of the time.

Being on my 8th Android smartphone, I've used everything from CM7 to CM13, AOSP, Touchwiz, Sense, Whatever LG has...this feels pretty stock to me honestly. I think MOST of the things that you can see and interact with like gesture stuff, ZTE apps, and all that can be avoided and it doesn't feel to intrusive (besides the bell). When I went back to my Moto x Pure for a week or so, that phone definitely feels more natural to me to use, but this is close.

Also just a couple screen-on things to keep in mind: The moto style wave to wake thing basically doesn't work with ACdisplay or Ambient Notifications, at least not reliably enough to use normally. And the double tap to wake totally sucks. I still use it but it is way worse than say the LG G4. Just things to keep in mind.

The notification shade seems like a hybrid of the Moto and some more older standard power buttons. They are not interactive, meaning you can't unhide a menu of a few Bluetooth devices from the notification button. You have to long press to get into the menu or set up a shortcut. Not a huge thing but the functionality was better with more interaction.

The camera app is ok. It has a multi filter button where you can see the preview shot with like 9 different potential filters, press the one you want most, and then shoot it. It's kinda cool but probably not unique. The cameras I have use on all of my phones have been so drastically different that this didn't throw me off.

Hope this helped a bit.

It's my 44th phone. I think I have a problem lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
What in the world haha. I don't even think 44 phones would appeal to me! Jesus. Well, among people I know, I think 8 is a good number. I used to be stuck on 2-year plans and finally got off those. In the last 18 months I've had 4. I doubt I'll catch up to 44 though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
I've been on prepaid since the early days of android. I flipped phones while I was in college as a way to help pay tuition, so that accounted for a lot of the devices I've owned. For the past few years I've been on the "buy used, sell ~3 months later for exactly what you paid" train. Swappa makes this really easy. This is the secret behind always having new devices and never paying anything (or very little) out of pocket to having them.

You used to be able to buy phones on Craigslist and sell them on eBay or Swappa for way more, since people didn't realize that even though they only spent $100 at the Verizon store on their Note 3, it was actually worth $400. But since the carriers started itemizing the bills, people have wised up to this and that trick really doesn't work anymore.

And when Xiaomi Mi5 will get many custom roms and official CM support?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] DeezNutes90:

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Philb90:

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Harrynowl:
There's no such thing.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] MIUIBrasil:
It seems that CM will be official for gemini (Mi5) from now on, thanks to xiaomi releasing it's kernel sources a while back.

Althoug many custom roms were already available, without a proper kernel their performance was very poor. So, if you don't want to test which one will suit you the best, I recommend you to wait a few more days to allow devs to start creating their own custom kernel versions, so the device can perform on its max :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Captain_Obviyus:
I have been using CM13 by bgcngm along with the Falcon Kernel by Harrynowl and so far it's amazing. I've had no issues with this configuration and can say it's WAY better than MIUI. You check it out.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] baszu:
Could you specific in which area it better?

Performance? Clean? Customize? Feature? ....?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Captain_Obviyus:
Well let's see...

MIUI has this annoying feature (probably to conserve battery life) that whenever you close an app from the recents tray, anything that you had enabled in the Accessibility settings got disabled.

Secondly, MIUI's customization is nowhere as close as to CM's. I know MIUI looks great and all and the theme engine is pretty good but I still prefer stock over it.

There's no Google Now On Tap on MIUI.

MIUI doesn't let apps run in the background (again, to conserve battery), but it's kinda too agressive. Like not even Greenify can run for long periods.

Can't root MIUI unless you're using the China Developer ROM.

I could go on and on but then I'd be nitpicking on MIUI. These are a few reasons from the top of my head.

Also, I've been following this thread for battery optimization. It's pretty darn good and lets me go through 2 days on a single charge.

MIUI has better battery life than stock CM. No question about that. But CM's strengths far outweigh it's weaknesses.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Fortinho:
Now On Tap on MIUI works.

You can root any kind of MIUI: just flash SuperSU zip via TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Captain_Obviyus:
Huh. I didn't know that. Good to know!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] haizapo:
Really man!!! I never try any other ROM than MIUI - Currently is MIUI 8 and it is realizable, durable and fast. Can you please share what functions are better?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] aipbd:
I would say cm14.1 is best. Except the camera. The dev can't port it perfectly. Otherwise it is perfect
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] tommy1945:
I entirely agree with you.

Unfortunately I don't think that there is any other alternative that could replace the global ROM. the CM O.S. have other (unsolved) problems.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] vladimir_carlan:
You do know that on MIUI battery saving mode is activated my default right? Is not that hard to disable it.

MIUI do let application to run in background. You just need to turn off MIUI optimisation and set Memory optimisation to "off" in Developer Settings.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Captain_Obviyus:
Yeah, well it doesn't really stop killing the apps. Right now I'm running CM 14.1 and it is AMAZING. The quick switch between apps is phenomenal. And unlike MIUI, it actually keeps my apps the way they were when I last used them.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] greg17477:
I guess you did not use MIUI much ;)

I really wonder why people spread already wrong proven rumors :( CM is basically an alpha rom with numerous bugs in it. It can not compete with MIUI for a daily driver.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Captain_Obviyus:
Huh. You make some excellent points. I was referring to an older build. Maybe the first MIUI 6 one, IIRC. However, it is my personal taste. I can never switch back to MIUI after CM 14.1. It's just so good. I'm not saying that MIUI is bad. It's just that CM 14 is REALLY good. Another issue (and I may be nitpicking here), is that I use LastPass a lot and it requires to be switched on in the accessibility services. From what I had gathered, I had to keep turning the Accessibility setting on every time I close the app/restart my device. If there's a work around, do let me know....

Maybe MIUI is different now... If you can tell me how I'd go about rooting the Global MIUI 6 ROM, I might just give it another shot!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] vladimir_carlan:
[/COLOR]

MIUI6 for MI5? Really?

But about rooting MIUI, you just need to flash SuperSU in TWRP. Is not exactly rocket science.

Where do you gather this kind of stuff? =)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] greg17477:
Hi,

as Valdimir already stated, just flash the superuser zip and thats it. Btw. we are currently on MIUI v8 and v9 is around the corner. ;) I do not want to bash CM. It is surely a good room, but I would not choose nor recommend it over a nice and stable miui rom. In fact I wonder why people do not buy the oneplus device, if they plan to use it with CM. It has almost the same specs.

cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] vladimir_carlan:
I'm not bashing CM neither. I just don't recommend it as dailg driver yet. And probably never due Xiaomi keeping larg part of their code close-sourced. And as I am concern, CM will die in few days (31st December). LineageOS is too far away in the future for me. A new infrastructure must be found, Cyngn paid developers must be replaced, a new fund source be found. Personally I don't see LineageOS as same level of functionality as CyanogenMod anytime soon. Time will tell.

I can't tell anyone "Hey! Install CM14.1! It's amazing! Well...is not perfect yet...but hopefully all the bugs will be fixed and camera will work as same quality level as MIUI in the remaining 5 days.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Nbkdnssr:
I have used both MIUI and CM. I started with MIUI but didn't like it for several reasons. It's not that it didn't work. It really works, camera quality is better than with CM. But I find CM's UI much more comfortable. I can't really explain but CM feels better even though it has still some bugs.

Biggest problem with CM 14.1 is camera. And so far that is the only reason that makes CM worse than MIUI in my use. Still camera quality is good in CM.

If LineageOS development will take too much time or if it's disappointing, I will give MIUI another try.

Could I recommend CM 14.1 over MIUI? Well, not for my mom. But for my friends, yes. If camera is not all in all, CM has no big bugs and overall use just feels better than MIUI. After all, if phone works good enough, it's all about the feeling for me - not the features.

But it is just my opinion.

CM 14.1 for daily driver - why not?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Captain_Obviyus:
Ah well. I'm switching back to MIUI then! The change to LineageOS is underway right now so In think I'll stay away for some time. Anyhoo, what would you recommend I install? The China Developer (the Nougat one, maybe?)/Stable ROM or the Global Stable ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] vladimir_carlan:
Xiaomi.eu one. Dev, stable or Nougat dev it's your choice. Right now I'm on 8.1.3 stable and I'm happy with it. Didn't went to Nougat yet due lack of Xposed.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to order one of these phones from an online store.

I just phoned them asking which model they stock:

SM-G935FZKAXEF

I assume this is an Exynos model?

Is there anything else that I need to be aware of regarding this model?

Any info would be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] amar95353:
I know for a fact that the G935F is the European variant, I have this model and it has the exynos processor. A quick search of the model number G935FZKAXEF brings up that it indeed is a exynos variant from France but it will work everywhere in the world. If you are in the US you just need to check if the G935F supports the signal bands that your carrier uses.

With Android Nougat release, Google came up with a new cat collecting game as their Easter Egg.

This app makes the game available for older android versions starting from Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

The game is simple. Click on the empty dish to select a food. Now, you can close the app and wait for a cat to smell the food and come to you.

Collect as many unique cats as you can!

[Android Apps and Games] RusherDude:
It takes several hours to get one, or I am doing something wrong? Got 2 in the entire day, with one running away and coming back.

Also I see that the app has a storage permission but never asks for it o.O
[Android Apps and Games] Abhinav1997:
It does take time depending on which food you use. Treats generally take the longest but gives you more unique cats. Bits take the shortest time but same cats often returns back.

When you long press a cat, you can share it. It also stores an image of the cat on the phone when you chose to share and that's why the storage permission is required.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhinav1997:

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

This is the issue I am telling you, it took me more than a day to get my first cat, and like an entire day to get my second :S. The app says that a cap will come "soon", but takes 1 day?????
[Android Apps and Games] Abhinav1997:
Right. So here's the thing

https://github.com/Abhinav1997/NekoCollector/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml#L30-L57

If you see this part of the code, you'll notice how time and probability of new cat differs with food. As you can notice there that bits take the longest but often same cats return while treats take the longest but normally provides unique cats. This was Google's code so I decided not to change it or make it easier.

[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] CLShortFuse:
If you're like me, you probably find the XZ's default density of 480 makes items far too large and cuts out text. The Googl Pixel, which is also a 5.0" 1080p screen uses a 420dpi. To make your XZ the same:

* Enable developer settings

* Enable ADB over USB

* From a computer, with adb, type:

adb shell wm density 420

The change will be instant, though a reboot is recommended.

Can you add a screenshot comparing both the densities ?

[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Heinous:
How does reducing the density make icons and text appear smaller? Shouldn't it do the opposite? How does this change affect the picture quality of the display (same, worse, better)?
[Sony Xperia XZ Themes, Apps, and Mods] CLShortFuse:
Window Manager density isn't the same as device density in build.prop. There are awkward effects when developers don't use the WM density. Also, you rely on nodpi packages now.

Still, the side effects are rare and IMO the pros greatly outweigh the cons.
