[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hid Sugiura:
Thank you very much for your replies - much appreciated.

As soon as I read your post, I did Malwarebytes and that found nothing - apart from saying I should switch off NFC so that's a little more comforting. As I said, Kaspersky hasn't found anything.

So, the China Stable is the ONLY official ROM there is - the vendor and EU ones are equally unofficial and neither have OTA updates.

OK more questions:

Some people say China Stable is the way to go cos of the updates.

1) Is the bloatware that bad? Can't I just ignore it? haha

2) Does it need rooting to put Gapps on it? Rooting is a no no for me cos certain apps won't run with it.

If I go the EU ROM, cos of the built in Gapps, can it be updated without wiping every time?

Thanks for all your help.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] wu5262:
You should go with EU rom, or custom rom which is starting to appear now. The worst rom to go for imo is the China one, and I find it a bit strange some people want to go for that due to OTA update. OTA update is not such a big deal, you get more update with EU or custom rom and no, you don't need to wipe data, it is so simple and easy to do manual update.

If you are totally beginner then maybe you find the OTA update easier, but at the same time if you are totally beginner you will find it hard to get china rom to become stable and usable. By the way the new custom rom also has OTA update, if you really want that.

So in short, I see almost no reason to stay in China rom, unless you find selecting zip file and flashing rom "too hard". But it's really quite easy to learn.

Mine from gearbest has unlocked bootloader but slightly different number than yours 8.0.8, it's easy to check from fastboot plenty of threads on here.

Xiaomi hate vendor ROMs that's why they lock bootloader, no one wants a bad name with spyware installed on their phones.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hid Sugiura:
RIGHT! Thank you again for all your replies and advice.

I'm gonna do:

1) Find out if it's unlocked and get that done if necessary.

2) Install the EU one knowing now that updates don't wipe the phone.

My fear is that somewhere in between having an unlocked bootloader (which I might have already) and having the EU ROM, I lose the ability to use my Barclays Banking apps. I definitely know that it won't work with root but I also know that unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs aren't the same as being rooted.

However, the fear of this vendor ROM being a security hazard gives me the heebie jeebies so I'll follow the kind advice given and put on the EU ROM.

Thanks for now!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] wu5262:
Good luck! Just to let you know i am on EU ROM with bootloader unlocked and rooted, i can still use Paypal and HSBC Banking apps. I don't use Barclays so can't comment on that.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hid Sugiura:
OK I'm following the guide on XDA under Guides: Guide: Flash Global/China ROM.

I've checked that the bootloader is unlocked - which it is.

I've done point 7:

copy the latest xiaomi.eu rom zip to your device (which you can see in your computer's explorer as a device)

But when I use the command to get the phone into TWRP, the screen is unresponsive so I can't Swipe to Unlock.

I've waited for minutes as suggested on other sites but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] james1089:
If you don't root remember to flash dm-verify before you boot phone or will boot loop. TWRP unresponsive is known have a search
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hid Sugiura:
Again, thanks for helping me.

So, found the right TWRP for my phone. For others having the same non-responsive screen, don't install the TWRP that has RC1 or RC2 EU in the file name.

Thanks to the guy above for telling me to install dm-verity before rebooting. I would never have known that.

It installed - but there was a slight strangeness.

I expected the phone to be totally wiped and set to default but everything was as I had set it.

I checked the About Phone and it is now MIUI 8.2 by xiaomi.eu 6.12.29 Beta.

Everything works and is set up as before when I was on Vendor Rom.

Am I safer now?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] james1089:
It was fate TWRP failed, could of been in a whole heap trouble, although not to the point of brick:eek:
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] slitz123:
Good stuff that you managed to get the EU ROM on. You didn't actually need to install TWRP if you just wanted to flash the China ROM though, EDL mode with the stock image on full clear would've been fine but don't worry about it. Gearbest get their stock from other suppliers who are the ones that put the vendor ROM on apparently, but I can't confirm that.

A good order to do things if you've identified you have a vendor ROM would be:

Flash the China ROM with EDL mode with the flash tool set to Flash all (using other options will keep your apps and settings on the vendor ROM but I have no idea if that means it'll keep any trojans or spyware installed)

Boot up the phone and set it up

If you're happy with the China ROM then call it a day then optionally use the Google Installer v2 from the Xiaomi forums if you need GApps (you may have to tinker with the GApps permissions if some things aren't syncing right).

If not then you could flash twrp-3.0.2-0-rc2-eu-lithium.img, flash on the EU ROM and optionally SuperSU for root and also optionally Xposed, then enjoy a preconfigured GApps with no Chinese apps that you aren't too likely to use plus extra languages!

If you are rooted then I'd recommend adding the following line in your build.prop to enable the Camera2 API:

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

Personally, I'm still waiting on a CM port though, MIUI is too aggressive in killing my apps even though I have like 4.2 GB of RAM free even with all the relevant power settings, app settings, app locks, dev settings etc off. Android Wear functions better after disabling those power settings at least, I sat there scratching my head for a while wondering why the heck my watch wasn't showing any notifications.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] james1089:
Don't think you can get to EDL mode on mi mix with vendor rom, with other xiaomi devices that is the best method just not on mi mix. With EU rom will have to dm-verify after each update without root?

http://en.miui.com/thread-465098-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hid Sugiura:
Out of curiosity, what part of the device do the user settings reside?

I was pretty sure all my settings that I created on the vendor ROM would be wiped out when I flashed the EU ROM. Similar to re-formatting a PC and putting a new OS on. I'm guessing what I did was more an upgrade from Win8 to Win10 or something.

Tbh, I haven't really noticed any differences between the Vendor ROM and the EU ROM except some of the default apps have changed - like the Clock but I supposed the goal of this flashing exercise was to lower the chances of malware of the Vendor ROM.

Even though the camera and screen aren't up to my 2 previous phones (S7 Edge and Lumia 950 XL), this is probably the best phone I've ever used. The camera and screen are good enough but the general NICENESS of the phone just makes it all worthwhile. I'd never have thought I'd favour aesthetics over technical excellence tho....
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] james1089:
There aren't many differences but updates are possible now, TWRP doesn't remove personal data unless you ask, should be fine as you are.

Most of us are looking for VoLTE in ROMs right?

Here's how I got.

(BTW I tried flashing the Modem as given in some other thread, it didn't work)

VoLTE is available only on Lollipop MIUI bootloader. But in most of the lollipop versions of MIUI the bootloader is locked. Except MIUI v 7.5. So I flashed MIUI v 7.5 via fastboot. Then installed TWRP and flashed Resurrection Remix 5.8.0. I got a notification saying this device is HD capable and I'm able to use VoLTE.

Link to MIUI v 7.5 : http://en.miui.com/thread-317891-1-1.html

-There should be two users admin, normal users. Admin user can restore the tablet if the tablet is not working.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobo2k:
Hi,

I had different tasker rules for setting my mobile to mute at work and so on.

But after upgrading to 3.5.5 and now 3.5.6 the tasker rules won't work. I think the Oxygen overrides it by the alarm slider.

Is there any possibility that it work again?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sblop:
I have the same problems. Currently I havent been able to find a sollution, despite using a few hours yesterday. It might be possible if you can update "secure settings" (not the app), which is possible using a plugin (App: SecureTask).
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenforty1:
Can you please explain how you did this?

*Nevermind I noticed I'm Looking for something else.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sblop:
I havent had time to investigate if this is possible yet. Perhaps in the weekend.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenforty1:
It's okay, do you maybe think it's possible to set the phone to vibrate only when in priority mode. With the new update they changed it so that you can't mute the volume anymore. I want mute to be mute and middle to be vibrate. I know how to make a task work with tasker but I can't override the volume.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sblop:
Perhaps by changing notification sound and ringtone to "Silent" in Priority, and back again in "All". - Alternatively use "none" option, and in Tasker manually add a vibration pattern... both options has its drawbacks...

My setup. At work (connected at wifi), change "Location" variable to work. When Location variable ="work" + weekday + time (8-17), set "do not disturb" to priority. -

Same at home, during night time.

Furhter to this, I read the interrupt value in a seperate job, and adjust various sound values accordinly and add a small 0,2 sec vibration, just so I feel that my phone goes to vibrate when at work.

I rarely use the slider on the phone.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveglowplunk:
So the CM 13 snapshot came out for a while so I decided to give it a try. Every thing went well until I realized the "move apps to sd card" option is missing. After doing some research on Google, it is said that going to "Settings > Apps > [The app you wish to move] > Storage > Change > SD Card" will do it. But unfortunately I can't see the "Change" button in CM 13 on an app that can be moved to sd card on CM 12 previously. Is it a feature that CM 13 removed or there's a fix for it? Please don't tell me to use that fancy "adoptive storage" thing. I do not trust the reliability of my sd card. And also I was using the latest snapshot of CM 13 (20161220). Thanks.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
Link2SD works perfectly in Cm13. I recommend the Pro Version. Affordable and has great features. Way better than the deprecated Move2SD you're looking for.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveglowplunk:
Thanks for replying. But I want to see if there's any solution that doesn't require a third party app first. I was asking if the built-in move to sd card function which was present in CM 12 and previous android versions is still in CM 13 (screenshot in attachment).
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
I'm sorry,l. When I said deprecated, I actually meant abandoned. The feature does not exist anymore in CM13. It caused too many problems. And it was slow.

Few developers liked this feature, few developers set the "allow Move2SD flag" in their apps, so Google removed the Mobe2SD feature in JB or ICS (don't remember exactly).

CM ignored these flags until CM12 and just continued the Move2SD feature ignoring Googles decision. But that's stopped in CM13.

If you do not want to use a third party app, you can link the apps manually to the SD. But that's not worth it, it's just too much work.

Afaik, there really is no other feasible option than a 3rd party app to get more out of your storage.

I'm sorry, but that's the way it is...

Maybe you want to do it the way I do it:

I use the merged storage feature and save each and every important file via Syncthing. That way, I don't have to fear losing what's on the SD in case it gets corrupted.

If I had to change the SD, I could restore all data automatically.

But I can't move my apps either, only user files!

Merged Storage COULD, but WON'T let you move apps to your SD.

Now, there is a "allow Move2MergedStorage flag". No developer sets it, CM doesn't ignore the flag like it ignored the "allow Move2Sd flag". Afaik, there is no Xposed module circumventing this (so far).

I got a little bit off topic, so let there be summary :D

- Classic Move2SD

Dead!

- Move2MergedStorage:

Won't move apps because developers don't like their apps to be put onto SD. CM doesn't ignore this anymore.

- Xposed Module that enables Move2MergedStorage by forcing CM to ignore the regarding flag:

Possible, but doesn't exist (yet).

- Link2SD (or similar 3rd party app)

Seems to be your only option if you want to move apps onto your SD.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveglowplunk:
Thanks for clearing up the ideas, finally the reason why such feature wasn't included in stock JB is uncovered. Looks like I'll have to stay on CM 12 forever or use Link2SD which I have a not so good experience with because it caused bootloops when I was on stock JB with root.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveglowplunk:
But it's odd because the stock lollipop rom for newer xperia phones have that classic move to sd card feature too...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
Just googled a bit, some manufacturers reenabled the Move2SD feature in 4.4 or 5.0 for phones with little storage. Just like CM did.

Nevertheless, the other facts still apply. You can't move Apps to your SD without Link2SD.

Exceptions: Merged Storage; tiny apps that have the allow flag can be moved. But the ones that are huge can almost never be moved in CM13. No allow flag, no built-in moving.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveglowplunk:
I am guessing the "merged storage" means the new "adaptive storage" introduced in marshmallow?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffeetrinker:
Yeah, exactly. Adoptable Storage actually is the correct term.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chieco:
Good Hello everyone,

a very long time ago I wanted to help my brother and flashed his Note 3 (N9005) with a ported rom. I wanted him to have a feeling like he got a new phone... anyway that kinda backfired because for a very long time he is using his Note 3 with the Camera crashing and FC, WhatsApp massage only receiving when he manually opens WhatsApp and Bluetooth disconnecting constantly! Not the best experience you can imagine and all because of me :(

The Problem we have is that we don't see each other often because of the distance. So when we meet I don't wan't to spend hours flashing and testing a rom. And I can't keep his Note for a few days to test drive it.

I really need help because I'm out of it and not really up to date any more.

Can you guys please recommend me a good reliable N9005 rom that is ported like N5/S7/N7 maybe? there are a ton of roms out here but I don't know which one is reliable and doesn't need fixes all the time.

Like I said a ported which is clean and minimal without any extra added mods and features would be perfect. Clean and simple reliable.

Thanks in advance guys :good:

MagMA NX n7 Port is best also when it comes to battery life you also use the debloat script to trim down some of its apps to get more juice out of it. So far one of the best N7 ports I ever tested (Aryamod,Norma etc.)

You might also want to consider the AryaMod S7E port, quite good too

You can also update his latest modem and bootloader currently PJ2

AOKP-ANDROID OPEN KANG PROJECT

​

What is AOKP?

​

AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project. It is a custom ROM distribution for several high-end Android devices. The name is a play on the word kang and AOSP (Android Open Source Project). The name was sort of a joke, but it just stuck, just like our infatuation with unicorns.​

We fork the source code of Android that Google puts out in the open with every major version release, and we then add the magical unicorn bytes (read: we add some of the coolest features that are both useful and make your ROM awesome).​

With AOKP, you can generally do a lot more with your device than what you could do with the original firmware that came installed on it.​

Why AOKP ?

​

We were waiting for when you'd ask this.

There are a variety of reasons why a hilly billy Android user, on a bright sunny day, would suddenly start using AOKP and loving it.

For one, AOKP is lightweight. Most OEMs provide a heavy UI layer over Android and have loads of bloatware (i.e. apps that not everyone use every day, but you cannot remove because they're "baked in" by default). Since AOKP is built upon vanilla Android source, it has neither of the above.

Also AOKP has features that you will not find on your stock firmware. You can have a multitude of toggles to quickly flip a lot of your phone's settings right at your fingertips, or you can launch apps quickly from any screen using our Ribbons.

You can change almost each and every aspect of the OS, from its looks to the way it functions, with total freedom. And did we tell you, AOKP helps you make tacos?​
