There really is no reason to keep all 4 small cores online. Keep 2 of them in different groups to keep caches hot and then turn on 3rd and 4th core in the cluster when needed, it is fast and power efficient.

Personally I use 2 small and 1 big setup and it is both very power efficient and fast when needed. It's like this, when you start a task that will really use all the power at your disposal then those big cores will turn on anyway and be kept online. For faster starting of apps I really only need one big core, and if in rare cases another one is needed it's "power on" lag will disappear under data loading from disk and other slower tasks.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
2 cores, 4 cores, no core_ctl, etc... Everybody gets what he wants easy with next build... :)

I am done trying to make it work for all and leaving it

up to you guys to make it work for yourself.

Appreciate all the feedback which will help me to decide what should default config look like.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] eseregin:
Thanks Nijel!

Imho default config might leave as default for LOS ... Guys from LOS team pretty sure have reason to keep it as default :)

So I finally decided to wipe and upgrade to 7.1.2 yesterday and am noticing a bug: in the edit tiles screen some tiles can't be added cause they are too low in the list and you can't drag them for enough to put them in the active tiles list, it just disappears after dragging it over 5 or 6 rows of tiles.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bluheart:
Surely we except this ;) but we can't expect or accept Bru :D

Build of 20170514 is very very nice for me!!!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
New build comes out when it comes out... which is next weekend btw.

It was like that on 7.1.1 too, not only on 7.1.2.I thought that was a bug too before figuring out how it works. Move all tiles from that middle section up so it's empty and then you will be able to move any tiles to the top show section. After that move back tiles you don't want down. I wish I could explain it better...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Ranomez:
I understand what to do but....I might have been on an early/late 7.1 build but I'm quite sure that I dragged tiles even from the bottom without moving the ones in the middle.

I didn't take a backup so have no idea what actual ROM version I was on.

[MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] as you know "Camera Quality" is degraded on custom ROMs... Is there any way to restore stock quality?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
I did not know, never been stock. And from what I read some say it is worst some say it's better. For me personally is I get what I paid for and good enough.

I still use miui stock camera hal and libs in my builds, not the open source ones official Lineage switched to a while ago so don't really see how the camera quality could be worst or any different than stock. Not an expert though... If that's not the case then you should find camera app that gets the best out of the hardware we have.

But I am sure in one thing... Camera quality is a subjective matter. Different eyes see differently. If camera quality is concern you shouldn't go for cheap chinese phone in the first place IMO.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ljhsquall:
I have no idea too, maybe it's a firmware issue that start with Xiaomi side, but for now no choice, bear with it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
I hope so, recalling miui users running 7.5.11 which current build is based on had similar issues and I hear last two updates and especially 7.5.25 are much better... We'll see next build...

I believe RR for HELIUM will not be updated with new builds, as the developer is selling his MI MAX and going for S8+.

I'm on latest RR build for helium - 25Apr17.

Can I flash LINEAGEOS directly on RR build or do I have to go for CLEAN FLASH?

Your help is well appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Clean flash definitely... RR extra stuff will leave lot of garbage in /data. If

using TitaniumBackup restore only user apps and data. You can also try restoring call logs, messages, stuff like that but don't restore any system settings!!!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] paarry:
[MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION], I just flashed the latest developer version of MIUI 7.5.25, Global beta, the camera quality is much better than the ones in the previous builds of MIUI and current lineage version of your ROM, sorry for telling it here, just wanted to check out, in the previous versions of the MIUI camera quality was crap, lineage was much better, this time MIUI 7.5.25 camera is better, the colours are more natural now, its my point of view for the camera quality, it might be different for others.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
can the miui dev ROM from here http://en.miui.com/download-302.html

be flashed directly from TWRP?Also will TWRP still be there If I do flash it?

I used to flasht the fastboot ROM but the latest fastboot ROM available is 7.5.19
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] eseregin:
You can flash ROM from TWRP...

TWRP may disappear, there are ways to keep it though. The way little tricky, you need to flash ROM, DONT reboot. Mount System in TWRP, in TWRP file manager go to System - and delete file at bottom, the name something like "recovery" or "boot" - there will be only 2 files their... The file if deleted, will prevent flashing stock recovery... After flash SuperSu, it will prevent phone from encripting...

Might you will need reboot to Recovery once - if you will be unable to mount System just after ROM flash
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] paarry:
Yes u can, but with the ROM will not recognize or be able to mount the devblock and the cust.img in the zip file will not be allowed to flash i think, (I am not getting the right meaning, i hope u can understand) every time i tried i got error while flashing till 7.5.19. Do try and update. I just flashed it through the fastboot method. Now i have to revert back to Lineage again. But to say the truth, the lastest global beta of MIUI has better RAM management, smoothness throughout the system, though games like Asphalt Extreme are somewhat laggy while in the loading screen which is manageable and also which is the same with lineage, I didnt find much difference in performance so far. Do try out what the guy in the post 2252 has said, i have very limited download speed like 150kbps and it takes almost 2 or 3 hours to download a recovery flashable build again, kindly update on how u flashed the ROM in recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
I simply flashed through recovery and rebooted. Simple as that. (7.5.25 recovery ROM) have got the 0519 (may19) baseband too.

and yes MIUI looks to be very very very smooth. :P Quite strange isnt it. :P [MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] any particular reasons for that? :)

You need professional help. See your local Flashers Anonymous branch... Seems to me you flash everything that pops up... :)

Don't know what miui dev team is doing but apparently they are getting their s**t together for stable nougat release... But yeah, hearing only good stuff for this last dev miui and firmware/modem...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
I didn't get you. local flashers?

and are you getting angry on me? bcz I flashed miui?

I have only used 3 ROMs on my mi max until now. Yours, RR and AICP.

request you to specify why I need professional help. M i doing something wrong?

Is flashing miui recovery ROM from twrp NOT recommended?

PS: I am extremely happy that we have you on mi max threads who is so enthusiastically proud of his work. You challenge and callout all other devs and It seems to me that you do it as a joke and in a funny way albeit there IS weight to it.

I will never be on MIUI. Just flashed it to see how it was.

I have 3 xiaomi devices and none of them are on MIUI.

PS2: I flashed this one because you said good things about the 7.5.25 modem/baseband and you said your build will come on weekend.

I couldnt wait till then and instead of asking you to release baseband early and getting slammed by you, I hit 2 birds with one stone.

I am gonna come back to your new release as soon as it releases.

Still, do tell me why I need help :) be serious and slam me if need be
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Yeah, I joke a lot... and you didn't get my joke this time.

Alcoholics Anonymous ring any bells? -> Flashers Anonymous... Or I should've said Flashcoholics!? You are active in every rom thread giving the impression of flashing/testing them all hence my joke...

And you don't need to explain anything... It's your phone, run whatever you want on it...:good:

But I am jealous, you traitor... jk... juuuust kidding... :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
hahahha. oh but that is for bacon.

Okay. see I own XIaomi mi3, Mi max, Kenzo, Bacon (used to own i1900 and n7000 too)

and I do flash a lot of ROMs on Bacon bcz that is/was the most supported android phone other than the nexuses.

All ROMs are more or less good enough.

The flashoholics thread is a nice thread to talk anything under the sun about ROM flash without getting hammered or joked about :P

hehhe but I haven't been active there for quite a few days. Since I found Carbon ROM for bacon. The OP of that thread is a tester for Carbon and he suggested me the ROM. it is wuite good with flat battery graph when not in use. I dig that :P

By the way I am surprised how did you end up there? Do you also own Bacon?

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

@nijel8 on a serious note, is flashing miui recovery ROM on twrp NOT recommended?

As I said, I wanted the 7.5.25 baseband since you mentioned it was good.

PS: Any chance you release the new build soon? Or do you want the strix to release his next weekly before you release yours?

Glad to hear that you had already used the MIUI camera blobs instead of lienage. I guess its time to update those as well.

Completely rebase you stuff on 7.5.25? or that will have to wait until the stable release cz it looks like MIUI is gonna undego major changes in all developer builds until they get their **** together :P :P :P

Don't know where you get that I might have bacon but since you mentioned it's kinda funny b/c the very last command to build any rom to a final flashable zip is "make bacon"... In that sense we all have bacons... :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
Of course. I know. I was kidding. It was my turn to joke. :P

I thought you have bacon because you had been to that flashoholics thread that is in one plus one general thread.

Great to know the last command. In that sense, oneplus one getting named as bacon was a big deal. :)

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Gadgetguy2005:
Hello all, I have installed the newest version of the rom on my 64gb helium. Since then regularly my home button does not work. (maybe once or twice per day).

If I touch home - the phone vibrates to confirm that the touch was registered, but nothing happens (the app currently on the screen stays there and the phone is not going to my home screen).

After doing a reset it is good for a couple of hours or a day - but then the same things happens again. The "back" button works, so sometimes I am able to get out of the app I am in (and to home) by using back (and in that case in some cases the home button restarts to work as it should - but not always).

Any ideas what may cause this and how to fix?

In case its relevant: I used titanium backup to restore my apps, but restored only user apps and did not touch system apps when restoring
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Haven't heard of this one... What launcher?

You should have similar message in logcat when you press home button?

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Gadgetguy2005:
Thank you for responding!!!

I use Nova launcher. And I get the same effect if I use soft buttons (so the soft "home" button does not work either when the hard button does not work).

I will try the pixel launcher for a while to see if that makes a difference. I will also try if I can force stop Nova launcher (from the settings) while in this situation - that will help to narrow down the reason. I did transfer over the settings of Nova launcher when moving from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 -> maybe that could have caused this?

How do I get logcat ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
I use Nova too and restored Nova settings and app with TitaniumBackup when clean flashed 7.1.2 from 7.1.1. So we are in the exact same setup regarding launcher and yet I have no issues neither I have heard of any home buttons issues ever exept that double tap timeout I will take care of this weekend.

Install MatLog from Play Store run it, clear log pressing X and quickly press Home button. Pause and look for that line from ActivityManager... Do all this when your issue is present...

Either PnoneWindowManager doesn't send the intent(highly doubted) and you wont see that line in logcat, or (most likely) something's wrong with your Nova setup ignoring that intent action.

Hey Nigel, I installed successfully rom provided by u. After 9 hours when I was checking all setting in setting, and clicked on developers options, which was enabled when installed rom. When clicked on developer options, phone got hanged and was not responding, so I tired to restart using power button, first boot completed started the screen, but when tried to unlock phone, it got hung agaian, and then series continued.

Device is xiaomi mi a max 650. Suggest what should I do??

Not a rom problem... Something you have done/installed...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
Do you like the phone so much or because mi max 2 is disappointing as an upgrade?

Would you be interested in a similar phone with normal aspect ratio and 6.44" screen with S8 type bezels?

why do they not make it :/ Mi mix is ridiculously expensive and I am not entirely sure of the piezoelectric crystals vibrating for calls technology

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

When reporting bugs, you should always state if you have applied any mods to the ROM and if so, you should not report bugs at all or with a disclaimer.

First, try clean flashing the ROM again with no other mods and then try to recreate the issue. You will not be able to. :)

I might consider changing phones only if it's Mi Max-like specs with LTE bands for US networks. "Might" is the keyword... Not missing LTE much... Don't care about any so called flagship specs or brands. All I care is big a** screen and Snapdragon for easy development... Anything else is just a bonus but not a deal breaker.

Let me know if you find something that can beat what we have right now for the price we paid.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
You hit the nail right on its head. I also have always wanted a big-ass screen and snapdragon (and good developers bcz I'm not one :P )

I don't play big heavy games so I don't need all that extra horsepower. Although recently I have started to miss a good camera. Might consider iphone 8 for that matter. I'll hit two birds with that one too. A great camera and a software that just works (in other words, I will not have any opportunity to mod it so I won't care as much) Though I wish, pixel 2 could provide such a neutral and natural camera. I dislike the over processing that samsung does to its camera and when you root it you lose all that stuff. So samsung is a big NO.

Would be great to find something with this big screen and a great camera. :D

KeyguardManager is not able to authenticate you so can't switch to Home screen. Why is this happening? Don't know... Remove any passwords/pin codes/fingerprints and setup your lockscreen and security stuff from scratch...

[MENTION=4399618]nijel8[/MENTION] I've just noticed that this kernel doesn't support ExFat, but supports NTFS (tried with two external HDDs, it can't read ExFat at all). Despite that, in your TWRP recovery, things work otherwise: the NTFS drive isn't recognized, but the ExFat one is, I can even make and restore nandroid backups from there. The HDDs are equal otherwise. Is this the normal behaviour? Kind of funny.
