[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Echaeos:
I have the model with 64gb and 3gb of ram, best phone for now. Personally I tell you to buy it, it's a good phone
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] controlpete:
I have 3gb 64gb version and I love it. I would say go for it:good:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Nbkdnssr:
Poor software? How? I didn't like MIUI but there are plenty of custom roms that work very well. For example LineageOS has very few bugs nowadays

If I compare this to my wife's Huawei... I would never change.

So, yes. The phone is still worth buying and custom Roms are developing all the time.

I have suggested this phone to my friends and they are also happy with it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] maddoka:
I bought the 64GB version about a month ago, coming from an Oppo Find 7 and I don't regret it. The hardware and the look and feel are excellent, the software is indeed not perfect, but the bugs are not that bad if you ask me.

I've only used MIUI since I got it, never had a Xiaomi phone before but I tried it on other phones and always kinda liked it. Currently I am on xiaomi.eu 8.1.6.0 and the only bugs worth mentioning that I found are:

- a touch problem, horizontal swipes are often detected as vertical, you have to be very accurate in your gestures, particularly when trying to remove notifications by swiping them.

- the microphone on wired headsets gets muted if you are on a call and you let the screen go to sleep while you talk . The issue doesn't happen when you lock the screen by pressing the button during the call.

Both issues are software-related because they do not occur on custom roms from what I've read.

One more thing is that it feels like the camera is let down by the software a bit. I isn't bad or anything like that, but it could've been better.

Price performance ratio simply excellent phone

MIUI Global stable ROM is very stable (never had a problem with global ROM)

Best phone I ever owned

Custom Roms lots of them

U can't go wrong with mi5
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Stadalbert:
Custom Roms lots of them ??

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

as far as i can see, there are only 3 Roms: native chinese, eu version, CM14, All other Roms are based on CM14. And as far as CM14 has no dual Ringtones, and even Notification Light on missed calls is not working there is no alternative to Miui
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Nbkdnssr:
Is notification light for missed calls a deal breaker? Oh my... You have big problems. :)

And there is AOSP?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] eternal70:
Of course i'll choose LOS rather than miui. Quickreply is important. Btw imo this phone is still worth to buy in 2017. There maybe still some bugs in current custom roms. But, it's improving for sure from time to time

New build out! Screenshot updated with DL link in the op. I think I'm gonna use this post for the latest changelogs.

CHANGELOG REV2

Added Selinux permissive su.d script

Themed added icons to match stock system icon colors

Increased call volume steps to 30

Increased Media Volume steps to 30

Added rounded corners to recents, notifications, and quick settings panel

Removed safe volume warning

CHANGELOG REV3

Took LG File Manager off debloat list
Removed Permissive su.d script *See op
Fixed Ota updates (No longer uses su.d script to disable service)

CHANGELOG REV4

Updated Apps:

Cloudprint

calculator

Added Apps:

LG Quick Remote (Couldn't find the latest version so it still needs to be updated from "App Updates" in Settings if you want the latest version available for our phones.)

I'll try to see if I can't just add the update apk in the next update, but it's odexed for some reason. I'll see what I can do though.

Consider this a mini test run for updating Gapps and the like. I tried updating Google Play services and the Playstore, but got force closes. So those will still have to be updated manually I plan on updating more apps in furture updates.

Readded:

Chrome

Permissive su.d script (In preparation for hopeful approval to add Viper for android into the rom.)

Thanks man still got a ways to go, and a lot to learn. The encouragement however means wonders. Thanks I appreciate it. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Awesome thanks for trying it out. Let me know if you have any issues. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
I'm probably let the Rom sit for a week, and make sure there isn't anything that needs to be fixed right away. I've xposed installer fc's on boot, but haven't seen one in a while. Either way it still opens, and works fine. I used it to install all my xposed tweaks.

I'll probably start working on a very basic ui theme. Mainly navbar, qs toggles notification shade etc. Then I'll look into the 4 way reboot. I've seen some old sammy threads searching on xda. We'll see if the same principle will work for lg.

Also if anyone would like to help test new builds let me know. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Will also let it sit for awhile and settle in. Preliminary go-through was okay. No issues other than that initial Xposed Installer FC.

Just want to confirm that the Xposed Framework is _not_ installed? Installer said it was not which caused me to get a little confused at first.

Now that I've had a look at what is and is not included I can reflash and setup properly. Essentially the same way as I do Nimax Slim Fit, Tekcafe, and Fulmics.

This is UX4? I forget. Last year I realized the old G3 TweaksBox themes for LP work on MM just fine. I used a few just to liven things up a bit on two ROMs running UX4.

[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
No the framework itself isn't preinstalled. Just the new installer. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by UX4? If you let me know how I can find out. I'll let you know though. Also I never used g3 tweaksbox's theme engine myself, but if it works just let me know. I'm looking at options for managing my future themes, as decompiling, and retheming every one after an update would be tedious. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. ?
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Sorry about the UX4 questions. Brain is scattered. I forget that some of the stock-based ROMs out there have incorporated the user interface, launcher, and whatnot from elsewhere like the G4 or G5. Also forgetting that Arko is essentially straight stock, debloated. A good thing.

EDIT: The following had all kinds of goodies, mostly G5 compatible stuff with some stock G3 compatible mods. Maybe the dev over there can help out on the theming front.

I've found this guide:https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038675

For a bunch of different samsung mods while searching for info on 4 way reboot. 4wr however is my main focus as having it could save a lot of time rebooting to recovery, and what not. I'm having issues getting a custom zip with a minor colors.xml change to test if that would work vs having to manually edit pngs & 9pngs. It flashes fine but won't boot past the animation.

I probably won't have time to look into it too much this week as I'm going to begin the process of moving, but most of my spare time if not spent working on the rom. Is spent reading about rom related things, and trying to learn as much as I can. Thank guys ?.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Thought I would post an update on the 4 way reboot progress.

I have finally managed to find the right dl links to the latest est smali/baksmali and new commands baksmalied services.jar (formally com.android.policy.jar) and found where to paste the smali resource files. Now as far as I can tell the are rather old. Probably even pre kk not sure. Assuming they work however (Not really expecting it hoping, but not expecting lol). They only issue will be finding the right GlobalAction number for the reboot button. The thread I linked to ealier said something about possibly being able to find it by tracking mreboot (have absolutely no clue.) I'm just gonna try the number listed in the guide,and go from there. If anyone knows how to find it however let me know. Thanks guys. ?
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
I let my phone go dead last night, and upon recharging my double tap to wake isn't functioning dt2sleep is. As well as google now isn't opening links. It grays slightly, and that's it.

I don't know if they are related, but I'm planning on hopefully releasing a new build with just minor changes. Volume steps mostly. So I may just reflash the boot.img, and see if that helps. If it does I'll make a zip, and post it here in case it happens to anyone.

I know updates have been far, and few inbetween lately. That's because I'm working on some android n dev courses I bought through xda-depot, and having to work a bit of overtime as well.

I haven't given up though just have a lot to do, and too little time to do it in. Lol. Thanks guys.

Edit: I also tried to start it up before charging and it made it to the homescreen with 1% and killed over. So that may also have something to do with it.

Edit 2: I discovered at least one other person was experiencing issues with google now as well, after a few reboots the dt2w starting working just fine. I haven't been able to finish the new build as I'm setting up a new enviroment. Got a desktop pc with a intel core 2 quad cpu 2.4 GHz 2.3GHz

5 gigs of ram, and nvidia quadro fx 570 with 256 mb dvram.

I plan on upgrading this pc quite a bit, but until it exceeds my quadcore laptop. I'll be running linux on my laptop, and windows on the desktop. Now all I need is KVM switch. Once my desktop can handle it I'll probably build with linux on a vm.

In case you're wondering I do all my apk editing/building/coding in windows. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Hey all I was hoping to have a the new build up today, but I haven't been able to make it because after setting up my new desktop the hd went bad so I had to have it replaced. I'm gonna start resetting up tonight when I get off of work. So I'll hopefully have it uploaded by Thursday, or Friday.

Edit: The vm took a little while longer to get set up, but rest assured I'm working on it. I'll get the new build up as soon as I can. Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
New build is up guys. Enjoy! :)

WiFi Calling? :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Hi sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a notification, and my computer has been in the shop. Wi fi calling works just fine as far as I'm aware, but let me know if you run into any issues & let me know if you try it out. Thanks! :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
The loss of my G3's SD slot has curtailed my ROM flashing. No longer able to have half a dozen ROMs running on the phone but I still had enough internal space to try.

TAP runs fine. Data, Bluetooth, WiFi okay. Went through all the settings. All good.

GApps are ancient but that's okay I guess.

Needs some kind of file manager though. I like to setup Google later during ROM testing so I usually need to install certain tools first. Not possible via the ROM's DocumentsUI. I think the only flashable file manager I have is CM's. It might work.

About to flash ROM again with some extras and give 'er a longer test.

Oh, almost forgot. An OTA update of about 75MB came through. Not gonna take it, of course, but was surprised to see it.

[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Everything still good on the ROM.

Problem. Since my SD slot is broken I access the card via USB-OTG. Problem is that I am not able to install anything via USB. Seems to be a stock thing. No problems with any other ROMs. This puts a kink in things as items I use on stock ROMs are on the card.

Gotta see if there's some kind of permissions workaround.

EDIT: Disregard. Must be by design. Can't execute/install on other phone and OSes.

[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
I'll add the stock file manager back in the next update. I always start getting my apps installed right away on a clean install, and almost always use a third party one at that so that never really crossed my mind.

At what point did the ota show up? I may need to try to adjust the sleep times better. If the script runs before the update service starts the script fails and it isn't disabled at first boot. So I had to add sleep 120 to the su.d script. Also about to start working on the note 5 edition as well. :)

Edit: I'll play around with the script as soon as I get a chance. I don't have multi rom on my setup currently as I'm hoping to implement magisk/systemless soon. Probably after adding aroma, and at least getting a basic theme out perhaps. I'll also look into updating the gapps as well. Man I really need a checklist. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Having never used one I couldn't really say. Which file manager are you using to install? It may very well be a limitation of the os I'd say you probably have already, but trying a different file manager may work.

Edit: Nevermind thought you were talking about apk's. If you're talking about twrp I thought it had otg support. Also If I'm missing points made on any of these topics please disregard been in the e.r. with my wife for the last 5 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Wanted to give a quick update. I'm going to start working on my v20 beta build tonight after work. Shouldn't be much trouble to get a working build up, as I'm not going to bother deodexing right away. Simply because I wanna get the updates disabled quicker on the g3 version of the rom. Which could require multiple reflashes for testing, the g3 is currently my DD, and not really enough time to set up back up. (I was trying out something on this install that makes backing up, and restoring through twrp a bit tricky). Just wanted to let you guys know I hadn't forgot.

Until then after first boot go through the initial setup (leaving data and wifi OFF) wait for 1 minute. Reboot, and wait for 2 extra minutes. (Just to make sure that the update service is disabled)

Afterwards turn on wifi go to system updates. If they are disabled it should look like this.

If it doesn't then reboot into twrp and wipe cache/dalvik cache it will clear the update (make sure to turn off wifi/data before doing this) reboot wait 2 mins and try again.

I deeply apologize for this problem. I usually leave wifi & data off while going through settings after q fresh install so it was always disabled by the time I turned them on.

Edit: notice there is no download or install buttons.

It may show check for updates button until first reboot after update service is disabled. Checking for updates show the phone is up to date, or provide you with the screen below.

Also on some occasions (while trying to figure out how to disable ota's) I awoke to my phone being booted into twrp where the update had attempted to flash. To prevent this (if you are extremely worried about it. Enable zip signature verification in twrp and the update process will close with an error.

Once again I deeply apologize, and I'm trying to get it fixed as quickly as possible. Thanks guys/gals.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Update while making the beta v20 rom I found out a way to disable updates without the script so it should be a non issue anymore. I hope I'll have the new build up in a couple of days. However I have to start almost entirely from scratch so it could take a little longer. Like I said not giving up on the g3 at all. Just expanding to a couple more devices. :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Working on Rev 3 as we speak. Should be up in two or 3 hours.

Edit: Sorry guys wasn't able to get around to testing the rom yet, and I've gotta work tonight. Might try to take the g3 and test at work, and upload it tomorrow. The good news is if the same thing I used for the v20 works here no more waiting around for those scripts. Well for ota's at least. The you'll still have to wait for call bubble to get disabled, but it should definitely be by the time you finish setting up. If not a reboot or two should take care of it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
What would you guys think about streaming rom development? You could get updates in real time, and even ask questions or suggest feature? I'd have to look into though, but I thought maybe it might help some to learn or get interested in development. Which part of the whole reason I started this whole project. To give back. I may not know much, but I'm more than willing to share what I do know. :)

When I started this I had no clue about a lot of stuff, and still don't with a good chunk of it. Piece by piece though. I wanna show that with enough dedication, and passion for something anyone can learn to do it. Then again if you leave a monkey in a room with a typewriter eventually he'll type of Shakespeare. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Finished rebuilding and testing tonight. Got the Ota's fixed. Just don't click on system updates or it'll download. Even if it does though it won't install. That said it's been a long day so I'm gonna head to bed. I'll upload the new build after work tomorrow. Later guys. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
I wonder if it's kernel or rom related? Have you checked the build prop, or tried with selinux set to permissive. I'll take a look when I can. In theory you should just be able to copy the apk's over then delete them after you install.
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
It might've been related to the storage. I was accessing my SD card via a USB adapter. I discovered no ROM could execute the apks on that card. So we're good.

[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Well I'd say it probably a security feature can apk's install from normal otg drives? I thought it'd be something to look into possibly disabling.

Also I'll upload the new build as soon as this storm passes. Don't need to fry my pc.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
New Build is up guys. Check OP for DL links, and 2nd post for changelogs. Not a whole lot to this update I'm afraid. Been swamped with life lately. I'll try to update the gapps when I get the chance. I'll just pull them off a fresh install after everything updates. Would anyone like to see Quick Remote included in the rom? I was thinking about removing update center as I never really use it, but I wanted to open it up to you guys to see what you thought. Any other ideas for features or anything. I thought about maybe looking into viper for android, but I've never really used EQ's before. ( I think that's what it is) Eh anyways my point here guys is to not be afraid to state the obvious because I may have over looked it. Thanks to all you guys for your continued support. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Yes, QuickRemote would be nice. I already install it on every ROM I can.

Over the past few years I've had or installed Viper but honestly never made much use of it. Probably due to my limited multimedia use. Other folks would definitely appreciate it though.

[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Well it seems I may be adding that script back in the next update then V4A needs Selinux set to permissive from MM+. I just wish I could figure out how to implement it better. Su.d if I'm not mistaken runs after the phone boots. Not during like init.d, but I've had trouble getting it working properly on the g3. I was able to add it with the kitchen on the g5. Spent three months trying to figure it out before resorting to su.d. Can't find any guides that seem to work to change Selinux in the kernel itself. Although then again non of them required using a hex editor, and I feel that's still a little bit out of my league atm. I'll try it with the su.d script. In the instructions for v4a they use a terminal emulator, and at least on most phones I've came across selinux gets reset on reboot. Although I'd like to eventually move away from having to use sh scripts entirely. Which can be done in theory I already have a few ideas, but I'd have to finish more of my app development courses. As well as do a lot more reading. I might do some testing tonight with it. I may just wait till next week though since I'm on vacation so I'd have more free time.

Flashed this last night and I've been able to connect Bluetooth to my car but it keeps turning on and off. Previous ROMs I've had no issues. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Hmmm not right off the top of my head... I've used it quite a bit with bluetooth speakers, and haven't had any problems. Did you do a clean flash? Wiping system/data/internal storage etc? Basically everything but your sd card?

If you didn't try doing a clean flash I'm on vacation after tomorrow so I'll do some testing on my end. My car doesn't have bluetooth so I'll have to use some speakers. The next time it starts happening pull me a logcat if you can. Idk how much help it'll be. Also make sure you don't have any hibernation apps hibernating anything to do with bluetooth.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bbergin76:
Clean flash with wiping everything. I always like to start clean. I'll have to try my sound bar later when I get a chance to see if it happens there too.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
Alright always good to test multiple things. I'll be able to test nyself after work tonight. Do you know what software version the other roms you ran were on? It may be an issue lg fixed on a later update. Thanks for helping trying to figure this out though. It's always nice to see more people taking interest, and it's greatly appreciated. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] bbergin76:
Interesting. I paired my Vizio sound bar and it worked fine. Came back later tried it again. Bluetooth turned off like in the car, came back on and stayed on this time.

I've run Fulmics 6.5 and most recently Resurrection Remix with no problems.

Going to delete the car pairing and try it again. I'll report back afterwards.
