[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Mediatek] ROMs, Kernels, Reco] octaedro7:
Firts off, big KUDOS to the developer, nice job.

I´ve been using the build from may 1st for 3 days now and these are my impressions:

It runs buttery smooth compared with MIUI8 stock. I´ve used the latter up to version 8.2.1 Global Stable.

The notification center drop down animation was quite slow, but can be remedied in the developer options.

Connectivity wise also no problems. Bluetooth, WIFI and mobile data working fine. Yesterday I experienced like 5 minutes with mobile data problems but there was a storm in my area so it could be due to that.

Battery wise I would say that it´s better than last versions of the stock rom, perhaps on par with version 8.0.4. But again I haven´t look deep enough into this

Following are the issues I´ve found, which are not really deal breakers, just things that can be improved or that I simply miss from MIUI:

Cannot update the preinstalled Xposed Installer (to v2.61), nor Gravity Box or Flat Style Bar indicators modules from within the Xposed app. It simply says “App not installed”. It´s not that any of them actually need to be updated, they work just fine, it´s just a bug that I found.

Cannot install the Netflix app from the playstore as it says that the device is not supported. Had to manually install the APK. It´s not showing up on the playstore so it likely won´t auto update.

Edit: The camera app supplied captures pictures at a maximum resolution of 10M pixels. As far as I remember this phone has a 13M pixel camera, doesn´t it?

Things I really miss from MIUI 8:

One handed operation. I know that there are some xposed modules to mimic this functionality but the MIUI implementation is the best because the whole screen, including the status bar, shrinks. The modules I've seen cannot deal with the status bar in the same fashion. But hey, at least there are alternatives

Dual apps, mostly for whatsapp. I´m working around this with Parallel Space but I´m not getting push notifications until I open the app. Could not make it use the manual backup I took from the dual app in MIUI (since it has the bug of not beeing able to backup to a google account).

Double tap to wake. It is actually very useful when driving. There are some apps that provide similar functionality but with many compromises.

Overall it´s a great rom and it became my daily driver, at least for now.

A newer security patch would be great.

I may add more to this review as I remember or run across other stuff

Cheers

Go to hardware buttons on Gravitybox and change their functionality to your liking.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Mediatek] ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Robyrogers:
The reason you can't update them is because they are cracked versions of gravity box and flat style bar to offer full functionality of those tools

Work Fine

Hello, Thanks for the ROM it works fine for me, but I click button for showing running app it doesn't do so, it shows options. For example if I'm on home screen, and click the button to the left of home button, it shows background settings and stuff to add widgets ..

Is it a bug or it's normal?

I really like the ROM but I can't stay on it if it doesn't support multi tasking .. I mean I can't switch between the book i'm reading and what'sapp for example

Thanks again

Press and hold home button! Use gravity box if you want to change the way to show recent apps!

Can someone send battery life picture? (On Screen Time) In stock I am getting around 4-5 hours, I'm thinking of Rooting my phone and installing TWRP on it when it comes back to me. (Its in the service center, It was ruining chargers). Was wondering if it is worth it.

Thanks!

Hello, tried it but it didn't work, gravity box won't launch it says it can't reach system branch or kinda. Guess I've installed it bad :confused:

Other bug i've met during the day:

- The buttons on the bottom of the screen (home & back ..etc) won't turn off their lights once i've locked the phone.

Hi Folks,

does anybody know something about the windows ce in the Thuraya SG-2520 (http://www.thuraya.com/content/thuraya-smartphone.html). It looks like Active Sync is installed and working for upgrading purposes, but nowhere (google, tons of sat forums, tons of win mobile forums, here, etc.) is something about syncronisation or standard windows mobile/windows smartphone applications on this nice device.

Actually thinking about connecting my Athena, Tytn or Axim over BT (perhaps PAN) with satellite internet ;-)

Anybody with some informations more precise, reviews and own testings than the rest in the internet, please?

Thanx in advance

Alex

P.S. THX @Olipro/PL and the Athena Project Team for their work!

Hello, developers!

I need your help!

On the custom kernel for Samsung J5 2016 has one strange and bad thing - screen flickering.

If I turn on internet it's not flickering.

LogCat says a lot of the same sentenses:

E/qdutils ( 269): int qdutils::getHDMINode(): Failed to open fb node 2

E/qdutils (269): int qdutils::getHDMINode(): Failed to find HDMI node

How can I solve this problem?

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rhrokib:
So well know that MIUI has a decent camera app and it works really great. But as it's a closed source app,**it's not possible to port for AOSP/LOS.

Now my question is,**Is Snapdragon camera a better alternative for MIUI stock camera ?

Though enabling camera api2 on snapdragon camera gives FC. And I didn't found any long exposer or full manual control**on Snapdragon camera.

Actually I wanna run AOSP but again I need a good camera.

So what should I do now ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Philb90:

Works for me on both camera api v1 and v2...

Im interested in the comparison between miui cam app and the above camera app
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] flotoro:
i see people complaining that no camera is better than stock camera.. but for me stock camera is quite bad? aosp or snapdragon camera from above work wayy better
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JRC1995:
I overall prefer MIUI camera. It has clean interface with balanced features without much of any cons. Everything works well.

But for normal pictures Snapdragon Camera is good enough, may be even a bit better than MIUI or may be not (never properly compared). It is more or less on par with MIUI. However, one think I noted is that Snapdragon Camera v3 apk that is found here in a XDA thread for snapdragon camera...has some trouble with macro focus.....generally it works fine...but it had trouble focusing certain objects like a decorative fake flower in my house. It doesn't always perform bad in macro focusing. But the Snapdragon Camera that is the stock cameras in lineage OS, RR, Slim Rom (IIRC), AOSP rom (IIRC), works perfectly in that area....no issue focusing. However that camera again have a bug which is that preview pictures appears in portrait. Not a big deal but a bit annoying. Also many 3rd party cameras I found to be working fine in general situations but pictures with flash was not totally fine. But you find more manual control and ways to capture better non-flash pictures using certain 3rd party cameras. Snapdragon Cameras worked fine with flash. In case of videos, I don't know which is better...I am not much of a video person...just need something decent and snapdragon videos looked decent. But I found that the audio recording in the videos recorded from Snapdragon Camera were a bit low. But the audio was distinctively better in Footej Camera...(It may be better in other 3rd party cameras too).

I couldn't get HDR to work as good as in MIUI camera (though I haven't really investigated much in that area).

Snapdragon Camera HDR works but pictures appears a bit too bright for my taste.

And camera 2 works fine for me with snapdragon and other 3rd party cameras.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Valeriuz:
Using latest developer and stable Miui rom, I can say that stock camera performs better.

Snapdragon camera is awesome, I'm talking of the 3.0 release, you can tweaks a lots of parameters, but most of them still in Miui rom and probably in AOSP do not work properly.

Try for example the auto HDR, does not work well.

I've made a comparative of the same picture taken by those two camera, and stock Miui is better.

It's not a big deal, but it's clearly visible.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rhrokib:
Manual Camera gives FC for me. Changed several rom but the result is same.

Camera on LOS/AOSP is good enough but those has more compression than stock.

Again stock has much noise reduction. It helps in low light.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] setya5785:
set picture quality to high
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rhrokib:
Setting picture quality to 100% is well on good lighting conditions. But in low light there's so many noise.

I think 90% quality is standard.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JRC1995:
Hmm IIRC, Manual Camera worked for me in most of the roms I tried.

Note: I think only recent miui dev versions (I can only speak for the 7.3.3.0 Xiaomi.eu) and Lineage OS (March 28 and the April (1 or 4 don't remember...are the only versions I have tried so I can't speak for other versions) have camera2api enabled by default. And if I am not wrong the latest RR is in that group too. At the very least I am pretty sure manual camera worked on March 28 Lineage OS version. And in roms which didn't support camera 2 by default, I could edit the build props and apparently some camera 2 api features were enabled in some apps (like manual camera compatibility test was passed, footej camera started showing iso and exposure time all of which wasn't happening before editing the build props). If you are on Lineage OS I don't know why manual camera isn't working for you.

While I haven't made any side by side comparisons, from my testing it didn't seem that the snapdragon camera (the stock version in Lineage OS and RR) were much more noisy compared to miui camera, when noise reduction is on (which is on by default anyway). Only I found that miui camera can make less noisy pictures in low light using HHT (I don't remember a good equivalent to that in snapdragon camera) but that also kind of softened the image. Sometimes I feel that in fact snapdragon camera might be slightly noisy but also sharper and more detailed compared to miui in low light. ..but I can't guarantee anything and I doubt these can be some form of placebo. Also if I am not wrong the stock snapdragon camera in LOS, RR lacked manual ISO, shutter speed control. While those options are available in other 3rd part cameras, all of them had problem with some macro focusing and flash again so I had to keep a lot of camera apps for different situations.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rhrokib:
Thanks for such a reply.

Actually I tried almost all the popular ROM like LOS/RR/ASOP/AICP and Xiaomi.eu as well.

For my case Manual camera capabilities test is passed. Then I install Manual Camera and it works well. But when I press the shutter button it keeps Forced Stopping. Every single time in every single rom.

I even tried editing build.prop and the result is same. As a bonus I get front camera flipped as others.

For me Open Camera does the job well with all the controls and shooting RAW. The RAW isn't nearly good as compared to other camera api2 supported devices. Even after editing with Lightroom it doesn't look that much better as it should be.

So finally I gave up and trying to be happy with Stock Camera app.

I just wish Xiaomi will add camera api2 on MIUI9 as IMX298 is capable of it and many more.

?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JRC1995:
I really have no idea why it's force closing for you. In OP you mentioned that even snap camera force closed on camera 2...that's strange too...especially when the newer Lineage OS roms supposedly have camera2 by default.

I still might have been mistaken in saying that manual camera worked for me, because I was trying lot of things in a short time....so I could have been confused about it...so just now, I again installed manual camera and took pictures with it.

Worked just fine. And right now I am in an 8.1.6.0 Xiaoum.eu (MM version not even the newer one. I enabled camera 2 by editing build props in this version i.e it wasn't even officially enabled yet still even in this rom manual camera worked).

Also, I just noticed your OP is old (13th March)...actually I got my MI 5 quite recently so I don't know but I think the camera 2 feature was being enabled in Lineage OS and RR recently (after 20th march or something, I am not sure.....in the Lineage OS thread, I think the dev mentioned about enabling camera 2 support around that time (I may be wrong about the time) and it's possible then Xiaomi enabled camera 2 by default only in recent developer (beta) roms.....so may be it had troubles in older ROMs, I don't know. Camera2api may still be not there in latest global (or china) stable...

Regardless I am still able to use manual camera in my MM Xiaomi.eu with edited build prop.

In the end I still just use the miui stock camera for now, not being any expert in camera department; I don't find much need for manual camera...I am more or less satisfied (improvements are always welcome, of course) with miui stock camera along with its auto HDR, HHT and manual controls. Never tested RAW though.

PS: For manual controls you may also try pro shot.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rhrokib:
I have all most all the camera app.

Maybe I have a bad luck. Cus I was on RR on previous week.(latest version) Camera api2 was enabled and wroks fine with Open Camera and ProShot. The only problem is the Manual camera.( Probably to best handy camera.)

Used it on my Nexus 5 and it was amazing.

And Now I'm on MIUI 8.3 Beta (7.4.6) by xiaomi.eu

I update as soon as it appears. Always had the same problem. My variant is Mi5 3/64 White.

Anyway, Thanks for your replies.

[/QUOTE]I have installed SwanSong and the sound is amazing. SwanSong have an aroma interface and it will be easy for you to install it with all the guides inside the installer. Here are the steps I have done to install it (Same as provided by [MENTION=6324159]tywinlannister[/MENTION]).

1. Install the BusyBox app and also install BusyBox inside it.

2. Set SELinux to be permissive. (This is important, but you can do it during the installation of SwanSong).

3. Flash Arise Sound Systems zip from the link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=151719

(Click Aroma & look for ARISE+Deuteronomy+2.94+Modular+AROMA+Installer.zip)

4. Reboot to system.

5. Configure the mods.

6. Reboot again.

This is the recommended setup from the developer itself while flashing SwanSong in Aroma. (Thanks to guitardedhero)

I would recommend Core (mandatory, if not already installed), ViPER4Arise™ 2.5.0.5, Profiles, Arkamys™, ICEsound™, Skip Config and Preset, MusicFX (unless you know it's already installed, this script will leave an existing MusicFX installation intact and end, just in case), permissive (do not, if Enforcing Mode is preferred), Repair SD Card Permissions (allow up to 3-5 minutes of additional time for this script).

Once booted:

Android Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > Arkamys > Enable Phone Permissions

Android Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > ViPER4Arise > Enable Storage Permissions

Open ViPER4Arise™ and select Audiophile™ X profile from the Load Effect Profile option in Menu.

On displayed output tab:

Master Power > Off

Master Power > On

Menu > Device Status

Should show Enabled, Normal, and Processing: Yes (at least during audio playback for some scenarios)

If you want to select ViPER4Arise™ through a media player's Equalizer option (not necessary, recommended for users that prefer to get to ViPER4Arise™ through a media player rather than launch the app from Recents or App Drawer):

Android Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > MusicFX > Disable

Reboot for good measure.

Hope it will help for you. If anything bad happens, just dirty flash your rom (only wipe cache and dalvik) and everything will be good. :good:

NB: There will be a lot of modules during the aroma installation which you can skip (Toolkit, Dolby Plus, Dolby Atmos etc) if it is not mentioned in the recommended setup. Its your choice. Enjoy a crystal clear sound from the great developers.[/QUOTE]
