[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
Thanks for the various reports. I've been looking into them and I'll address them further when I have more to report on progress.

Particularly any on going lag/micro-stuttering (been making some good progress here) as well as the home button and it's behaviour when it's not desirable to act as some kind of capacitive home button.

I'm also currently testing some amended volume levels.

I won't offer any support for xposed or devices running it, I don't break it in anyway intentionally but won't be going out of my to accommodate it either.

Besides its current somewhat buggy state as far as I know it works as well as on any other nougat device.

It will not be included but the threads for xposed will ha e guides to install if you want to go down that route.

There is an issue with RAW image taking on most apps, there's an excellent post here in this thread detailing various third party camera apps and their functionalities.

This is because of Substratum and the theme you've applied. , The additional buttons menu is not generic but is seen as "advanced settings" in Substratum. Delete your overlay for it and in the future I'd suggest not to build it.

Appreciate the log posting all the same. The

tag is useful and you're always welcome to PM me logcats. (can be preferable if you're concerned about any private information in there)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slyscorpion:
Thanks for the quick reply!

So is this a bug for the developer of Substratum or the theme developer? Apologies for the dumb question but I like the theme I currently have applied and I would like to let someone know about this so they can fix it :)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
It's not really either.

Our additional buttons package just has a name that's also used on other devices for a more advanced settings menu option than ours which uses standard functions.

When SystemUI is themed then, because everything in the additional buttons menu is standard anyway, you'll see it is themed.

The end result is that we'll end up with themed additional settings as long as that overlay isn't built, other people using other devices wouldn't though.

When using overlays they have to be pretty specific, hence most themes having drop menus depending on app versions and so on. Maybe think of it as by unselecting this package you're choosing the option for our set up.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slyscorpion:
I managed to fix the issue by disabling the overlay on "Advanced settings" and now I can access the additional buttons :) Thanks!

BTW, an unrelated question:

Is there a way to store multiple fingerprints on a device in RR 5.8.4 by any chance?

Edit: never mind, I found the appropriate setting for storing multiple fingerprints.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alexmanu1:
Nice to hear from you [MENTION=5561203]StoneTrapper[/MENTION] . I can't wait for the next release , i hope the lag will be fixed . If so , i will move completely from Miui to RR , you build it very well , good job. Maybe into the future i'll start to try to port some roms like viper os , just switched to SD from Mediatek and it's a little bit different from what i've been used to :D .

I've just installed crazyaquakernel from crazygamer and now the rom works fantastic
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palarran:
Thank you for the info!

What about the battery?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slyscorpion:
I am using the CrazyAqua kernel too and unless I am blind I don't notice any noticeable difference with the battery but I might have a bunch of stuff running in the background that I don't know about....

Hi ! Can you make an antutu and geekbench test after rebooted ur phone ? Just to know performance of this room with custom Kernel. Thx
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slyscorpion:
Here's my Antutu score after rebooting.

I am using the CrazyAqua kernel.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slyscorpion:
Hi,

Quick question:

Would you be willing to add a download with your updater for the latest version (7.9.22 as I write this) of the Mi firmware? Reason I ask is because your script is the only one that works in TWRP :)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chemha:
Same or better.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chemha:
My Mi Note 2 is the Chinese version (4GB RAM 64GB ROM)

I don't know why its not 100000 points. It might be bc I have lots of apps installed and running in background, like gear s3's app.

However I can assure you that the user experience is much better using CrazyAquaKernel than using the stock kernel, 0 lag and same or better battery life.

Feels like the unofficial RR ROM.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slyscorpion:
Try updating your ROM version to 04.09

updated to last version. Not working to. No wake on press Home. Only Power Button.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CommieColin:
So, am I correct in understanding that there are no major issues in this ROM? Lately I have seen a lot of ROMs on XDA that don't list all the known issues in the OP. Looking through the comments on here, it seems like it's 100% working! I only ask because I am about to purchase one and can't deal with MIUI. Thanks! :)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Melhiat:
Is this room also applicable for MI note 2 snapdragon 820 cpu with 4gb of ram?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alexmanu1:
[MENTION=973072]Melhiat[/MENTION] Yes , it is applicable to all mi note 2 versions. [MENTION=6201931]CommieColin[/MENTION] Right now , if you install Crazy kernel after installing this rom , it will work fine , but it isn't as smooth as miui.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CommieColin:
Thanks for replying! What's wrong with the regular kernel, if you don't mind me asking?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alexmanu1:
It's something wrong with Spectrum , i guess . The UI lags when the regular kernel is used ...
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
I have to disagree: it is significantly better than MIUI, and this comes from several months of usage as my first device, both in Work and Free-Time conditions.

There are no major bugs nor significant malfunctions as you can read from the thread; a couple of things are beeing “ironed out” by StoneTrapper but nothing that will significantly impair the everyday usage.

The main concern would be about the audio levels for calls, especially on speaker, but it’s already better than before and hopefully things will be sorted out definitely in the next versions.

As for the “kernel panic” reaction (please bear with me for the word joke) the only concern regarding SystemUI responsiveness which is still been tweaked and with default kernel exposes a little too high delay response time.

Anyway, if you are willing to spend just 5 minutes in downloading and installing the proposed kernel, you’ll avoid completely any delay in response and will be able to enjoy all the features the RR has to offer.

I’m not really and expert, so I won’t divulge into technicalities: I just assume that the current kernel we are testing has a series of optimizations that still needs to be perfectly tweaked to fit this specific device.

Although SystemUI Animations are a bit sluggish when compared to stock, you should also consider that the RAM managing and optimization in this ROM is far way better than stock MIUI.

Spectrum is just a piece of the puzzle and actually it’s just a simple app for kernel auditioning that enables users without a great deal of experience to rapidly “apply” different kernel profiles on-the-fly without having to deal with fine-tune settings.

Another app, for example, that enables the end-user to fine-tweak the Kernel is “Kernel Adiutor” but it requires a good level of knowledge to be operated. You could achieve the same results that you obtain switching Spectrum Profiles with this application, but instead of a single profile you need to edit each and every value according to the desired behaviour.

On the overall this is a feature-rich and complex ROM which – and I speak for experience – may leave you confused after the first hours or days of usage: there is a lot to discover, many options to configure in order to perfectly adapt the phone to one’s usage.

My suggestion is to spend at least three weeks using this ROM before taking a final judgment, and If you don’t have enough time to familiarize with I strongly suggest to postpone the installation until you have some..

I did the very same thing, and after a month of continuous usage I tired returning to MIUI…the experiment lasted a mere 2 hours for me and I went back again to RR. (but that is, of course, just my experience)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CommieColin:
Awesome, thank you for the detailed response!
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chemha:
Install Viper4Android and you'll see the difference.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

The front camera is quite bugged, the image is inverted, I mean upside down.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
I tired, and I also reported my experience quite a few posts ago now :)

Long story short: loudspeaker is still low, albeit much better than before. Phone speaker level, on the other hand, is vastly improved.

Actually that's not quite a bug, it has been discussed before: it's the result of using HAL3 (a.k.a. OpenApi v2) for the camera. Some third party apps are now implementing this feature correctly while some others have a nice work-around in settings: for example, Footej Camera has a dedicated option to "flip front camera image" and Google Camera NX 6.0.1 (also recommended in first post for quick shots) works fine "just out of the box". ;)

Edit:

Just a quick how-to for new users searching about Viper4Android.

This is the official thread you'll have to download the latest version (2.5.0.5 at the moment) and install the Nougat Fix version of the APK. Then after opening the app for the first time and granting permissions wait for the first attempt at driver install. Reboot at the end. Most likely driver installation will fail and upon reboot V4A still asks for driver installation. Close the app, execute Magisk, download and install V4A Nougat Fix and reboot. Now V4A Driver will be correctly installed.

Also, if you are interested, we discussed earlier in this thread about manuall tweaking of the audio configuration file in order to obtain the best possible results on Mi Note 2 aside from V4A optimization.

Try Lspeed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paget96.lspeed

It offers some nice tweaks. Makes my phone feel like I have a Snapdragon 835...
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] petyasb:
How do you use it to avoid lags?

Do I need to use Spectrum also?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slyscorpion:
Once you install and run LSpeed and go into the settings, click on the little "i" icon next to each one and it will tell you what it does and whether it will affect your battery.

As for Spectrum, I am not sure, really.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
Some more info would be useful to help you out:

What launcher are you using? (ie. Trebuchet or something else. if you are using Nova then there is a dedicated fix for this)

Have you read all the previous posts about performance implementation? (easiest thing would be using Spectrum or CrazyAquaKernel)

Did you installed RR "from scratch" or it is a "dirty" upgrade?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] petyasb:
I use Trebuchet

I use Spectrum Gaming profile, thera are still o lot of lags with the Preformance profile.

I installed RR 5.8.4 20170909 over 5.8.3 20170723. (Can I dirtyflash it back by the way? 5.8.3 worked much better!)

At the same time i use some tweaks from Lspeed.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N3OMOD:
Ok, so first thanks for all the details.

As for your situation (“been there, done that” ;) ) I would suggest the following:

1)	Since you upgraded via a so-called “dirty flash” I would suggest to use TWRP to wipe the phone (factory reset, preserving data) and start new with the latest RR.

2)	In case you wish to preserve some specific application settings, I would suggest using something like Titanium Backup to make an app-focused backup and export thus backup to the DATA partition prior to the WIPE.

3)	Once installed the R 5.8.4 from scratch I suggest you not to install Spectrum at all. Instead I suggest you to install the Crazy Aqua Kernel (located here ) via TWRP. Best procedure, IMHO, is to install the kernel AFTER the FIRST BOOT of RR. Flash Davlink and Cache after installing the CrazyAquaKernel, as instructed, and before exiting the TWRP.

4)	Now you should notice no more lags and the following point is optional.

5)	If you still don’t like the “slowness” of some Nougat animations (like me) then I strongly suggest you to switch from Trebuchet to Nova Launcher. Basically the layout is the same but you’ll have a lot more personalization (even without buying the Prime version, which I recommend if you do like to fully personalize your phone and if you like to access Nova Unread notification system). Inside Nova Launcher settings you can tweak animation speed for folders, transitions and much more.

Hope this may help.

P.S. If you are concerned about battery drain, fear not: I am using the same kernel for weeks now and I’m not having any issues with heavy daily usage.

If, on the other hand, you would like to downgrade I would advise to always so a WIPE before installing the previous RR version.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] petyasb:
Thanks for your support. I removed Spectrum and Lspeed, flashed Crazy Aqua Kernel over my dirty RR 5.8.4 and it works better now.

I hate backing up and restoring apps, it takes forever and and doesn't fully work sometimes.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jorvacf:
It's mandatory to do a full wipe? I'd rather not to erase all my files. I know full wipe is recommended but maybe someone install it without doing a full wipe and not having problems.

There will be a new release? Or is discontinued? Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alexmanu1:
I am wondering the same thing. It would be a shame if the rom gets discontinued, it's a great rom, but i think it needs some tuning here and there.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StoneTrapper:
Not discontinued.

I've had some hardware issues, both with my build server and my Mi Note 2 as well as a surprise trip away.

Unfortunately Since my Mi Note 2 is my only device and I depend on it for a good few things I've had to pause my builds at the moment since I can't distinguish between potential hardware and software issues.

Not wonderful for me but on the brighter side once I have a replacement device then I can dedicate my Note 2 for testing more completely which might lead to some more fun things for everyone.

Official final 5.8.5 will be along after my new device arrives and it's been tested, this should be about a week although that's down to the delivery company now.

Did anyone install xposed framework? I installed it systemlessly but it makes my note 2 lag very much.

A friend of mine told me that the same happened to him with a RR ROM of his OnePlus One. He said that I should try Lineage OS because it's lag-free with xposed framework.

I think I'll try it.
