[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
First of all, thank you very much for your kind help!

Yes, I visited this section but couldn't find anything related to this specific aspect. I can enable the virtual navigation bar, yes, but it is not useful (at least not for me).

It appears to me that the option to detect a "touch" on the fingerprint sensor is missing entirely, altough it's strange becouse the fingerprint detection works perfectly and it's way fast then on MIUI.

Thank you! I must admit I was overwhelmed by the numeros options that I missed some.

I have been able to customize the Status Bar even tough I guess I have to get used to the "combined" style used for display simbols (for example the LTE symbol appears in the upper corner of the signal one).

I also think I have enabled every other "potential" notification icon, expecially pertaining VoLTE - which I found both in the "UI System Regulator" sub-menu and in the SIM Cards menu.

Indeed it was there, thank you. It's wasn't called VoLTE, you were right. Unfortunately I haven't been able to confirm its activation: on every call I loose LTE connection and go back to 3G so I guess I have to call my operator to sort things out. I'll keep the post updated just for further reference.[/QUOTE]

I've already done it, but without any luck. It's just the "chroma flash" option that causes this problem, otherwise stock camera app works nice and support for Camera API 2 is really making a difference with other apps. I tried several other apps but I wasn't able to replicate this "chroma" feature so I guess it's something peculiar related only to the stock app.

Go back to the BUTTONS sub-section & look under HARDWARE KEYS.

Tap on that ,scroll down until you see HOME BUTTON.

Select SINGLE-TAP ACTION > choose from the options listed.

If all else fails,Nova Launcher will give you the option of assigning a customizable action for a 2nd Tap on the home button.

Thanks for your explanation in details about what's open mobile API.

Then I changed my SIM into NFC-SIM but it didn't work for me.

I downloaded eWallet app from google play store and applied for an eCard for public bus transportation in eWallet app. When I finished presetting, getting into app again and opened it. It said " cannot defect nfc-sim card... "

As I know it, Xiaomi Mi Note 2 NFC seems not to support this type of NFC-SIM ==> Is it hardware issue or ROM even kernel issue ?

I mean even you implement open mobile API into your ROM but it won't work if it's from hardware issue... If not, it may have chance to fix it ...
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
Thank you! I finally managed to found the right section.

I made a right swipe from the Settings main screen, then under the Device section I chose Additional Buttons and then finally I got the option "fingerprint sensor as home". (not sure if the translation is accurate since I'm using the device in Italian, but I hope It could be useful for others)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
I did some more test with the camera and various camera apps: it appears that the exposure is not handled correctly both by 3rd party apps and by integrated app.

Generally indoor shots (both on natural and artificial light) are underexposed by 1.5 steps and there is a huge amount of noise in the background, while outdoor shots have an average of .8 underexposure. In both scenarios, however, ISO values higher than 800 produces a terrible amount of "snow flakes" noise in background, even on manual focus and exposure.

OpenCamera, Camera FV-5 and A Better Camera Unlocked are the only applications capable of accessing correctly the camera and saving a shot, while others produce variable results from complete crash to randomly zoomed images upon saving. As far as I can tell RAW capture isn't working within any app.

As of now, OpenCamera produces the best results provided that:

- Photo Quality is not over 90%. Otherwise noise is way too much.

- Flash is set to "use alternative method" in order to use the dual-tone led. Otherwise camera will always use the mono-tone white LED.

- RAW is disabled

- HDR/expo burst is disabled for better quality when taking HDR shots. (beware: slow operation, indoor scenes presents a remarkable bouquet effect around the edges)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
Thanks for the feedback here, I'll look into this more.

I'm not by any means a photographer and the finer points of photography are a little lost on me.

I'm aware of a couple of bugs with camera operation, I'll be looking into fixing them.

Some of these issues are, as far as I'm aware, related more to the camera app than the camera implementation directly. Exposure defaults for example aren't readily changeable. Unfortunately there's only so much that can be done with the camera choices provided by RR. I have been exploring other options but I haven't had as much time to give to this lately.

Are any of the issues you mentioned also present in MIUI? For example the ISO >800 producing abundant noise.

Thanks for this. Without an NFC-SIM myself it's tricky to confirm anything or debug the issues.

I've had other users report that they're able to view NFC-SIM functions correctly now but that they're still unable to process payments in this way.

I was under the impression that MIUI does support NFC-SIMs with the Mi Note 2,or at least some versions of MIUI do. Certainly some are able to view NFC-SIM functions within MIUI.

Though you're right, from the documentation I've read I'm not convinced either way that this shows there is hardware support, the focus is on how it should be implemented - not how it would behave if it wasn't implemented. I can see conflicting information on MIUI forums though they aren't a particularly reliable source.

Hello,

is this someone can tell me where to activate the double tap to wake up the screen. I can not seem to find the options. thank you
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
Thank you very much for all your work StoneTrapper, this ROM has really changed the functionality of my Note 2!

I'm a photographer, I have very few experience in custom ROMs but shall you require more tests please let me know, I would be glad to help.

Inside MIUI, with the official MIUI Camera App, many of those problems were not present:

- Background noise starts at about 1600 ISO, and in low light conditions. In bright daylight, it's barely noticeable.

- Exposition is correct in 90% of the cases: just sometimes with black backgrounds and very bright objects the auto-exposure may fail and requires manual intervention to set a new evaluation spot.

- On the other hand flash can’t be controlled, so it’s either “ON” or “OFF”. The “chroma” feature is automatic. The only way to force the use of white light only is by using one option called “Torch” inside the Photo app: by doing so the white flash stays always on both during photos and videos.

- RAW is not supported by MIUI (neither by proprietary camera app nor by 3rd party apps)

- HDR has the same problems when used with any 3rd party app, like OpenCamera. MIUI Camera App auto-optimises the result, and also optimised the final colour balance I believe.

It would be great if you could tweak a little bit the default camera app: even if the exposure settings can’t be adjusted, is there any way to match the on-screen preview to the final result? That way one could easily compensate for exposure and/or saturation, while actually it’s a bit of a guess-game between how the image is viewed through the camera app and how it is actually stored after the shot

I do own an NFC SIM and for what I can tell it is perfectly recognized by the phone; unfortunately in Italy we don’t have any application that support mobile payments so I can’t properly test.

Android Pay is perfectly functional (thanks to Magisk and the Safety Net module dedicated to Xiaomi devices) but It will not accept any Italian credit/debit card.

I also tried with Vodafone Pay (my SIM is Vodafone) but unfortunately Magisk Hide is not working so the app recognises the presence of root and refuses to initialize.

Open Settings, swipe left-to-right to open the rapid menu, select Display, then scroll down until you reach the option "Tap to activate" (or something similar, I'm sorry my setup language is italian) and enable the toggle.

Please let me know if it works for you.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] meuhmeuh51:
thank you for your reply. But it was already active and not working. The screen does not wake up by typing on the screen.

Another solution or bug ??
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
Possibly we are facing a little BUG: it's not working for me either, that's why I asked.

Try to install and use KnockOn and see if it works for you too.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] meuhmeuh51:
OK. Hoping that the bug is corrected quickly in the next update.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kris Chen:
It's interesting that I found another new verion 0613.

After flashing it, I noticed some of changes:

1. No HDR in camera

2. Kernel has some updated.

3. During booting, I saw word "unlock" at the bottom of screen after flashing 0608 firmware.

Of these what I found,only 3rd I'm worry about: Did you skip boot loader status checking in your new built kernel? If no, that means my bank app even andriod pay cannot work because it detects bootloader has been unlocked.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
What "new version" ? Another RR version?

That's standard even with newest MIUI ROM: when bootloader is unlocked you'll notice a little icon at bootanim with the word "unlocked" next to it.

I can't give you any advice about Android Pay (it was working up until yesterday with Magisk + Safety Net Module) but my bank apps (ING, Widiba) are not complaining about the unlock. They are just giving a warning about the rooting process but that's all, just a warning.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
Ah that wasn't a public build ;)

There's a few changes with that one but I'm not releasing it publicly at the moment.

There's a few camera bugs with that one amongst other a few other bugs, I wouldn't recommend it over the last build really.

The unlocked indicator is a part of the miui firmware since nougat. The firmware is entirely unaltered.

That kernel does have a safetynet patch although it is different from the usual and may be a little fussier, I haven't yet looked into it, the r17 release changed a few safetynet related things.

Yes actually OpenCamera works pretty good on this RR, but I would love to bring back the easy-to-use of MIUI Camera App for the everyday quick shots.

That's interesting. I will test it and see if there is any enhancement. For now I can report that the installation succeeds also on RR and seems to have effect on integrated camera. Will do more detailed tests tomorrow.

Fingerprint sensor

Install latest build of miui and fingerprint works perfect. Only double tap to wake device is crash for me :(
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
This not a MIUI version Jaaffo, it's a quite totally different ROM ;)

With this ROM I have no issues at all with fingerprint sensor, actually works even better then latest MIUI.

As for the "Douple Tap to Wake" function it's a known bug a the moment: It simply won't work within the default settings, you should resort to 3rd party apps like "Knock" to make it work.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] isketch93:
It's been over a week since I flashed this rom on my device, and I feel quite ready to report my personal feedback:

First of all, I greatly appreciate the effort you put into developing this rom, it really shows! I noticed several major improvements switching from MIUI, mainly in battery life and camera quality (more on that later), along with some slight issues.

The major problem I found is a crash caused (apparently) by the use of the IR blaster, which reboots the phone (or soft reboots, it takes a very short time to come back on). It is hard to pinpoint which specific action triggers this because it happens semi-randomly while using two apps, Peel Remote and Anymote Smart Remote. The crash never happens outside of those two apps.

The only other problems I found are about the camera. The camera2 api seems to work fine, except when trying to capture long exposure time pictures, the apps I tried for this seem to freeze the viewfinder without actually capturing anything. Also, it is impossible for me to capture any sort of panorama with the Google Camera app, everything turns out heavily distorted, badly stitched together and underexposed. Other apps' panos seem to work better, but I don't really like the results. Also, RAW capture doesn't really work, every app I tried just crashes.

Also regarding the camera, but from a personal point instead of a feedback/reporting one, I'm struggling to find an app that satisfingly replaces MIUI Camera app for me, that one just had the perfect balance between ease of use and features for my liking. Oh well, it will just be a matter of readjusting to the new alternatives I guess.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
Have you tried changing the Icon Style? I installed a few from the store and discovered that some of the built-in icons won't display, but if you choose another icon style it will show up without any problem.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kris Chen:
Well, I didn't change any Icon style...

But I will try to do that ... Change another and then change back. To see whether it works.

Thanks !
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
Thanks for the feedback and comments while I've been away. After a month of having some serious time constraints I'm back and I'll be working on this properly again.

In my downtime I've had a few different ideas about the current camera issues and different ways of improving them. In the immediate future my priority will just be to restore the original functionality that seems to have gone a little hay-wire then I'll be working on a few different improvements.

In terms on OMAPI support - For now I'm scrapping it. I've yet to hear conclusively that the Mi Note 2 has the hardware support for it. While I could continue trying a few different things none of them will work if the hardware isn't there to back it up and until I have it's essentially a wild goose chase.

As for everything else, once main functionality is back to where it should be I'll be happy to look back and explore a few different ideas =)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MasterSushi827:
Is there any support in terms of camera? Not sure if this is just my device or everyone is having camera issue. So basically whenever I take a picture, the image turns out to be enlarged, not sure how to be more descriptive, when I actually take the picture, it enlarges the image. :S any fix for this or is this a known issue?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] keykeeper85:

Hey all sorry about the lack of updates recently. It's a busy time for me and I just haven't had the time lately and ended up losing a bit of data which doesn't help.

I'm still supporting this fully and within a couple of weeks I fully expect to be back to regular releases.

I'll probably move to a weekly release once I've flattened the bugs back out so each update can hopefully bring something worthwhile and any bugs can be spotted and addressed quicker.

I'm definitely aware of the camera issue and I'll put the other more major planned things on hold and just get something out with camera working fully. There's a limit to my testing before I release builds and this just snuck through. Sorry.

I won't give a timeline but don't expect to be waiting long for a fix.

In the meantime the 20170525 build along with the Kcal kernel should offer stability, restore camera functionality and be fully operational.

The only drawback is that this build doesn't support DragonXia kernel but this is definitely a temporary solution and will be fixed in the next build.

The DragonXia kernel for Mi Note 2 is being maintained by [MENTION=3910111]pappschlumpf[/MENTION] so errors that are confirmed to only be occurring with that kernel should be posted in the kernel thread though I'll keep an eye on things and help where I can.

SafetyNet requires that Magisk module as linked in the first post - Google updated some of the SafetyNet mechanism recently.

I can confirm SafetyNet is passing fine when the following three things are used

Magisk v13 Beta

Universal SafetyNet - Magisk Module

and that Magisk Hide is enabled within Magisk Manager.

RAW images aren't currently working with the in-built Camera app. There are also a couple of other settings that at the moment I believe will need to be removed since the hardware doesn't seem able to support them though I will continue trying for now to get up.

There are a few camera app suggestions in this thread that don't have the same problem, such as Camera FV-5.

Information about NFC-SIM : http://www.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8832105&highlight=nfc&mobile=2

Translating into English and shorten its description and meaning( For your reference if any changes to update in next built ROM).

Even it's the experience from Mi5, I think MiNote2 has the potential to make it successfully.

//To use NFC-SIM by Mi5 when getting on Public bus//

1: Unlock your bootloader

2: Flash TWRP and then Flash SuperSU(or MagiskSU) to get root privilege in your phone.

3: Install Root Explorer or any one of file managers you like. Then get in /system to edit build.prop. Add two lines in your build.prop

#Supported SE type

ro.se.type=eSE,HCE,UICC

4: After that, save your build.prop and then reboot your phone.

Trying to check whether any additional option showing in your NFC-SIM settings.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
Thanks! That was an interesting read.

I'm still unsure that the Mi Note 2 does have the hardware to support this, and without an NFC-SIM myself I'm unable to test.

If someone is able to confirm this is working with either one of the previous builds that include OMAPI or with MIUI and this build.prop change then I'll happily add everything back into the releases.

I didn't want to be the first to reply since I'm probably a little bias.

It's perfectly stable, nothing major bugs or crashes.

WhatsApp camera doesn't function correctly - Odd zoom.

Easy workaround is to take a picture using any other app and send the saved photo.

This bug doesn't seem to affect any other software - Telegram for example works fine.

A couple of the camera modes within the included camera app cause FC - UbiFocus

I'm not sure the hardware is entirely capable of this. I'll be removing the option but all standard filters and shooting modes work as expected
