[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
The nougat ROMs so far are quite stable and usable.

There's just the issue of a missing CM theme engine on CM based ROMs, which is easily resolved by using Substratum Legacy. The OMS compatible ROMs of course can use the latest Substratum framework.

There are little features missing here and there, which probably won't affect usage for a majority of people:

In the WiFi menu, we can't select WiFi frequency between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHZ, and automatic.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] 33bca:
Your input is right, having more roms dont mean basicly its better. You have more roms to chose, thats right, but you also have more roms which are basicly the same with the same features.

My experience is, that all the roms with a lot of modifications (like DU, AICP, RR, Beanstalk and so on) are basicly the same, they have an external app for all modifications and near the same options.

Other roms like Paranoid Android, AOSCP, JDC and Cyanogenmod, try to keep the system clean while they still offer some modifications built into the system app to keep the AOSP feeling.

AOSP is AOSP, there i dont have to say much about :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
Thanks, man. So is it fair to say that DU, AICP, RR and such can be clubbed into the same category, as in "Install any, they're all the same", while it would be more useful to differentiate between AOSP, JDC AOSP, CM, AOSCP and so on?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
I'm unwilling to flash ROM after ROM to find out the differences between them. If anyone has the experience of flashing two or more ROMs, please contribute to this thread so that it can become a useful guide to people. I'll keep adding the info to the OP.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] selmandeli:
Is there a bugs free custom ROM based on cm13 or cm14 so far? What about Mokee?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
[MENTION=1927548]selmandeli[/MENTION] The best you're going to get is of course the relatively stable weeklies of official CM13. Since it is being maintained by an official CM developer and has had several months to mature, a lot of bugs have been fixed.

Apart from that, most of the 6.0.1 ROMs should be fine, even though they're unofficially built, as the code base is stable and only some kernel changes were needed, which, thanks to the awesome dedication of bgcngm and h2o64, we have.

No 7.1 based ROM is stable yet, since the CM code base is being actively updated. Even here, your best bet is the unofficial CM 14.1, since the developer maintains and fixes bugs himself.

The other 7.1 ROMs depend on CM development, and additionally on whoever their active developers are. The guys we have do a great job of keeping the respective code bases up to date though.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mintyx:
[MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION] DU has some original features built into it. Not sure about the version for MI5 though.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
Thanks [MENTION=4986160]mintyx[/MENTION]. Could you elaborate a bit so I can put it in the OP if it applies?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
[MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] Do you plan to continue with your custom CM 14.1 like you said in the thread? Or will the focus be on other ROMs?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] WhyOrean:
Plan is not dropped..! ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mintyx:
[MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION] you should search for Dirty Unicorns Fling, Pulse and Smartbar. These are their original ideas. I don't know if someone else has used it in their rom. It is open source so anyone can implement them.

[MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION] Tap to home feature implemented in any marshmallow rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
Nope. When it seemed like most of the bugs were gone, and devs could then focus on it, Nougat code was dropped. Now there's again a mad rush to get the major bugs out on Nougat ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] dkmsn8:
Yeah..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] nicoula91:
[MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION] Thanks for your precious feedback, it helps to understand the difference between the different ROMs. May I ask you to do an update version of your feedback since a lot a things have changed recently.

Thanks man!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
[MENTION=2463568]nicoula91[/MENTION] Right now I have a stable Marshmallow ROM that I want to stick to until Nougat ROMs become stable enough. When I'm ready to flash a new one I'll take that opportunity to flash all the Nougat ROMs and look at what's different. That sounds really troublesome, though. :mad:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] nicoula91:
Sorry I didn't express myself correctly, I just wanted your opinion on the current ROMs specially the Nougat ones. From what I read, it doesn't seems too buggy since the 2nd December update.

Don't flash all ROMs, it's going to be indeed troublesome :p
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
[MENTION=2463568]nicoula91[/MENTION] Well, if I just go by what I've read on the forums so far, then I don't have enough information to form a consolidated opinion more than I've already posted. This is exactly my problem. The ROMs are too similar in most of the cases, to be able to differentiate between them based on just their descriptions and the various problems people post about them.

#bring_back_the_differences :p
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] nicoula91:
[MENTION=7570546]andy356[/MENTION], Thanks for your feedback =) What ROM are you currently using ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
The last 6.0.1 based RR. Although I wouldn't recommend anyone to flash it now. I'm just too lazy to switch until CM 14.1 becomes stable.

Just the fact that it's on the 5th October security patch is a horrifying thought.

Plus as mentioned in the info posts, it eats up 10 GB in system for no apparent reason.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] nicoula91:
Ok I'll probably wait for the next update from CM 14.1.

What if you change the kernel to the Brand kernel, would it change the security patch to the latest?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
I don't think so. Any kernel patches would be updated as the Brand kernel is kept updated. But any security gaps in the ROM wouldn't be. Be careful, this is all guesswork on my part.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] africa89:
is there anybody with the beta global of nougat?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] nicoula91:
I don't think the beta had been released yet. They are still on the alpha version. You can find some thread about it on en.miui.com or in the 'Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion" section (Released MIUI_MI5Alpha_6.11.23_28c932acdd_7.0 / All Applications 7.x / 23/11/2016 Dow).

If the an update kernel fix the security issue on the kernel side, you just have to flash the newest Gapps in this case and this can be done with a dirty flash, no? Problem solve? I'll test this in the future and I'll give you a feedback.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
With CM 13 development being discontinued, all marshmallow ROMs are now outdated. It is strongly discouraged for anyone to flash MM ROMs since they don't get security patches anymore.

Yes, various nougat ROMs have different issues, ranging from harmless bugs to reduced functionality, but only if more and more users start to use the ROMs and help with bug testing will development accelerate, helping us reach stability faster.

Happy flashing. ;)

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mryugin89:
Hi guys,

I'd like to know from someone who test different ROMs, which it performs better in terms of autonomy.

On my Mi5, I tested only xiaomi.eu ROMs and recently my SOT is roughly decreased.

So I'm getting close to AOSP ROMs, even if they don't like so much because.... ehm ... MIUI is MIUI

Anyway.. I watched reviews about AICP, the new LineageOS and the RR and some friends of mine told me that RR is actually the best one.

Can you tell me something else about performance and autonomy of these ROMs? Thank you so much
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andy356:
[MENTION=7395088]mryugin89[/MENTION] No one can tell you the basic differences between MIUI and AOSP. You have to experience it for yourself. First flash the JDC AOSP ROM. Test it out for a few days. Get a feel for how everything works. If you find it is lacking in features, flash an AOSP based ROM with more features (any one that suits your fancy) and try it out.

Lineage OS is going through some growing pains these past 2-3 days, apparently. If you clean flash and face issues, then stick to AOSP based ROMs. Otherwise, use Lineage for some time, see how it is. If you still feel it's lacking in features, then use a Lineage based ROM. I use RR because it has the features I need. Maybe you'll like crDroid. I can't say. Only you can judge that.

But the basic point is, you won't know what to look for until after you flash a ROM.

Edit: Whoops. Forgot the point about autonomy. Any ROM that's official will be autonomous. Developers can quickly respond to reported bugs and requested features. Lineage is the most active ROM in that regard.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] mryugin89:
I didn't ask the difference between MIUI and AOSP.

Anyway I'm testing RR in dual boot with xiaomi.eu 7.1.20. I will test by my self.

I don't have it anymore. I suggest to anyone with a new G4, that is bootloader unlocked, to make a TWRP backup.

"fastboot boot TwrpRecovery.img"

Wipe data

Backup.

That will give you a backup to restore to stock. I think that is what you are looking for?

[General Questions and Answers] Zero temp:
Hi all . I have rooted my phone (LG G3) and because of a problem i was forced to go to my service provider (LG) since its still under warranty . So knowing that rooting voids warranty i unrooted using superSU and then i verified with root checker getting back the message "sorry root access is not properly installed on this device" . So i thought that its all done and proceeded to use my warranty . couple of days pass and they called me and said that root was found on my phone and cant take it under warranty and i have to pay if i want it fixed which i am not gonna do cause its 200 euro to fix the motherboard. I asked them if i can do anything and they said that if i remove completely the root i can go to them again and they manage to fix it for free. So i flashed a new stock ROM to be sure this time is fine. Now what i am asking is can i somehow check in depth if its rooted or ever been rooted like traces and stuff . is there any program that lets me do so? i tried to find the program the technicians used but couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance for all the answers and for your time .
[Android Studio] DocStein99:
I am using a hm-10 to connect to my Android test application. Unfortunately, is a big struggle compared to the hc-05 device. Anyway. The "samplegatt" does not work, either with my device or for whatever reason. So I found a different blog that explains the sample must be modified:

(the dumb forum won't allow me to post a link)

ayh tee tee pee android-er.blogspot.com/2015/12/connect-hm-10-ble-module-to-android.html?showComment=1454055306623#c9017603593836048433

So after the modifications, THAT won't work either. It's not the first one, just the most recent.... I have tried so many example applications from google searching, I have saturated my efforts. I KNOW the module can work with my phone, from using a ble test application from play store (that I can't seem to find company website or track down the source code for).

I was hoping to know if anyone else struggled with this, and if you can advise me on how / where to get a working sample application.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mousetamer:
I picked up the XL a few weeks ago. I traded in my old LG G4 and so far love the new phone. One question I have about the XL relates to the small file sizes of the photos I take. The G4 had a great camera and the file sizes of most pictures were between 4 and 7 MB. The Pixel's file sizes are smaller, 2-4 MB. I tried the 4:3 HDR On and HDR Auto settings, but the sizes are still quite a bit smaller than the G4. Does that have anything to do with the fact that the Pixel has a 4:3 sensor as opposed to a true 16:9 sensor that the LG used?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evelynwu:
My cell phone model is Huawei Y536A1. It suddenly turned on by itself for several times and then finally my phone screen just stayed on the "android". I tried several ways to deal with the problem, but sill could not work.

I tried ...

1. Alternate Master Reset Method: a) press and hold the Volume Up and the Power key for 8 seconds, then release b) Press the Volume down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted c) Press the Power key to select > Press the Volume down key until "Yes -- delete all user data" is highlighted d) Press the Power key to select e) Once data has been wiped, a green "OK!" with a checkmark will be displayed f) With "reboot system now" highlighted, press the Power key to select.

--> it did not work for my phone.

2. I also tried "wipe cache partition". It still did not work. It went back to the logo "android" again.

3. I went to AT&T store. They could not help because of out of the warranty. A staff even did not want to try. It's very frustrating. Later, I asked them to change my sim card to my traditional old AT&T phone. So, my Huawei Y536A1 is no sim card now. However, i still want to use it if it can work.

After I took out of the sim card, my phone screen will stay a global sign for a while and then turn of by itself. ><

I would very appreciate if anyone could give me possible suggestions to fix that problem.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Anyone out there had tried to tranfer SMS from a Nokia 6680 to a HTC TyTN II? I have no idea how to do it. It seems that they are of total different formats. I have tried a number of ways but never succeeded.

The reason why I wanted to transfer all these (1000++) SMS because they are all memorable SMS from my wife since we dated.

Thank you so much in advance.

You may be able to save your SMS's to your PC with Nokia PCsync software? Thats all you can really do to save them as there is no way you can really 'import' SMS's into any make of phone. They all store them in their own propriotory database.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] akash_84:
or maybe Jeyo

as it works with outlook, and I know they have a symbian version, the PST file should be the same as the one for PPC as well

So it would be a case of downloading it into outlook from the Nokia and upload back up to your kaiser

Jeyo Doesnt Help

I installed JEYO SYMBIAN on my laptop and i got all my SMS'es from NOKIA phone to sync with outlook. And then i installed the JEYO WM (Windows Mobile) and tried to sync my KAISER with the SMS directory in the OUTLOOK. BUT SADLY IT DIDNT WORK

It seems JEYO only syncs one way, i.e., it transfers SMS'es from the PHONE to OUTLOOK, but not from OUTLOOK to the PHONE.

So, sadly i think we will have to find another solution to this problem.

Hoping that there is one out there :confused:

SMS are stored in the pim.vol file. Take a look at PIMBackup. Which file does it backup (hint: it's in the name). What does it backup (Appointments, Call logs, Contacts, SMS, Speed dials, Tasks). Now copy your pim.vol file to your desktop and open it in a hex editor. What's in there (hint: everything just mentioned, which includes SMS). Check YOUR facts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Gimme a break!

Read this..

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa912276.aspx

It shows we are both wrong...

cemail.vol is where ALL messages are stored, pim.vol is for contacts, tasks, appnmnts etc. (and I have trawled through it with a reg editer and not found a sign of an SMS). The store moved to SD card is only attatchments.

PIMBackup has only just started adding SMS and MMS to to its backup so it no longer just copies the pim.vol file it takes the messages and adds them to the data from the pim.vol file and saves them in its own format '.pib' wich is just a Zip file!

So both of us are eating crow pie!! :D
