[Miscellaneous Android Development] Miustone:
For sure, everything i do is basically doing a ROM without the Firmware in it. The Patch does just allow to add these Changes on top of ROMs without the need from Me to provide ROMs for any specific Device. Things like the better Smoothness which is combined with less Energy consumption is a essential Thing which i think should be included by default in all Android ROMs. See My Explanation down here...

Use the More Shortcuts app to start the Service Manually, a App will popup where You can configure or even turn it off then. Normally does it notify You on the first Standby but many users have experienced (Like You) that the Notification does not come. More Shortcuts is a easy and powerful workaround for that, try it out (It is included in the Patch).

Yes, cause You're basically flashing something like a ROM Update which changes a lot. To ensure that everything starts successfully working, do You need to clean Your Data/System before to avoid conflicts with existing Services and Settings which may run already. I try to avoid to force a Data Wipe since Users could loose important Things, but it's like washing the Hands before You do a Heart Op. (It's just needed lol). Hope that explains it a bit!

There are also many (Deep going Changes in the Background regarding to Gaming Handling, Sensor Handling, Camera Handling and so on. Everything is based on research of Hundreds of Android Devices over the Years. Some Values are coming from the latest Sony Flagships, some from HTC and others from the Pixel Devices and other Flagships (Always up-to-date (See Changelog)). It's all coming from Stock which means that You get the best of Stock even on AOSP. That is the actual Goal and our OS will follow this Path in the Future and on a even more advanced Way due to Qualcomm Kernel optimizations which i could enable to gain more Features.

It's a lot of work to test and find all this Settings and Optimizations. Like said up here are the Optimizations coming from the latest Flagship Stock Firmwares including Frameworks and Permissions. It is just not possible to include all that into AOSP and the Patch is a great Way to provide all that neverless. I was doing custom ROMs and Miui Ports before that, but i've just seen that the Patch Way has a lot more advantages without any disadvantages in view of possibilities or usage.

V1.2 will also fix the last Audio Problems (Microphone Setup in AROMA) and some no Audio issues on Calls for some Users. I can't say when i can upload it but it's really a huge improvement of the Patch System at all. Many new Options, huge improvements on Audio and App rendering and like always updated GApps, SuperSU and Magisk (Besides Busybox and the other Tools). I do really enjoy V1.2 and i'm looking forward to share it with You. Really satisfied about it here :)

It's like always, every Start is a bit rough. But with every new Version are coming more Features, better stability and more Optimizations around it. Since the Patch is made for many Flagships with Nougat is it a bit hard to eliminate Bugs alone for all, without having the Device or lowering the Quality for others.

Our Team is growing and We are searching still Maintainers for Devices to make it easier to gain Feedback and to organize it. [MENTION=7325575]jigs4wkiller[/MENTION] since You've tested the Patch and reported that Your Devices do not explode lol was i about to ask if You want to be the Maintainer here. You're already helping the People here and You do own the Mi 5S so would it be great if You could be Maintainer here!

Basically is all about reporting Problems/Feedback to Me and helping the People on this Thread. In the Future do we also need some Thread updates since Features and the Style of us may Change from Time to Time (Thanks to [MENTION=8181709]Nadeem A.M[/MENTION]). We want to provide a Copy/Paste Template on Google Docs/Drive where the actual Thread Layout and Content can be Copied from. Handling a lot of Threads at once is a lot of work and a Template for the Maintainers would save us a lot of Time (Which we can spent in the Main Project).

So a lot of Text but i'll hope it wasn't to much... Let Me know what You think!

All the Best,

Miu
