Much appreciated, mate :o Always loved to see new version of Masik.

Just out of curiosity: In https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=732822&st=8200#entry59649468, there's a 'feature' listed as "Applications "Mi Drop", "Themes", "Reports", "Masik OTA" are hidden from the desktop", but apparently the Themes icon is NOT hidden as intended. Previously I used Masik 4.0 which is hidden nicely as it meant to be :)

Thanks :good: :)

After finally getting the thing to flash (it should be clearer that you need a complete wipe of internal storage in order for it to work!), I would agree. Very smooth and battery life is genuinely excellent.

Everything else has been draining the hell out my battery!

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kickassdave:
Hi there.

You'll need to FULL wipe of your phone first. I had the same problem, a clean flash doesn't actually work.

1) back EVERYTHING up that you need to computer

2) in recovery, wipe, format, yes

3) in recovery transfer the ROM and any other files you need via PC back to the phone

4) flash and enjoy

Only missing GESTURE ANYWHERE feature wich for me is essential. Please add this feature for next build, please, please.

And Dear dev,

I have another feature request, please add possibility to disable Power Button (power menu) on lockscreen, it will come handy when the phone is stolen the thief will not be able to turn off the phone.

I have bad experience my wife's phone was stolen, as soon as she realized it the thief was already turn off the phone despite the the home screen was locked, thus find device feature became useless.

I think it will be completion feature for Masik.

Thanks for great rom.

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

I successfully installed this rom by only wiping Cache, Boot, system, and Data. Without formatting.

Took a full backup prior to this.

Everything works fine, no problem or error during installation.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nitalium:
Very good and stable performing ROM

GREAT BATTERY PERFORMANCE (5/5)

I must say this ROM is very stable and has the best battery performance. Previously I was on Mi-Globe ROM with around 3h of SoT (Screen on Time). Now I can easily get 4 hours of SoT with the same usage patterns.

FEATURES (4.5/5)

The ROM has a some additional features in the settings menu which is very nice, but I am planning on installing xposed module to add a few more features. Does anyone have experience with xposed on this ROM? And since it comes not rooted, which method is the most recommended for rooting?

AUDIO (4/5)

I also flashed the additional mido masik audio engine which I got from the official telegram channel for masik ROM. I selected the "BEATS" profile. The sound on earplugs is excellent and very loud.

I have a feeling that the notification sounds on loudspeaker are slightly weaker compared to the previous Mi-Globe ROM. Although on Mi-Globe loudspeaker notifications sometimes sounded distorted it was still good to hear the phone while in the pocket. Does anyone know if the loudspeaker can be somehow amplified for notification sounds?

NFC not working

Also with my previous Mi-Globe ROM I could not get the NFC to work. I installed my bank app and changed the default NFC settings to my banking app but still when I put the phone on a payment terminal I get error message on the terminal that the card cannot be recognized. I even tried using it by being logged into the banking app but still the same error. On many forums people recommend to flash the default factory MIUI ROM and see if it works then, but that seems like a bit of too much hassle for me. Can anyone confirm NFC working and on which ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bensailorboy:
This rom is the best or battery, I've got almost 5 hours SoT.

Only missing Gesture Anywhere feature, and can't disable power button on lock screen.

Format data is different than normal usual wipes we do,

There is a button format data right side of advanceed wipe under wipe in twrp, when u tap on it, u need to type yes, it will erase everything in internal storage, then clean flash the rom zip.

If you are installing update fir same rom then dirty flash should work and there is no need to clean flash in most cases, though sometimes dev will mention if it needs to install clean flash or format data.
