[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zasnizas:
yes, I totally agree with you. That's what I'm thought right now.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mandarthedon19@gmail.com:
Dear Dave,

I must thank you for your stupendous support to our Mi Max. Earlier to Mi Max, I was using LeEco Le Max. It was very nice device but lack developer support. Still it is the same issue. And then I turned to Mi Max and indeed I am one of the happy users.

In this forum I seen people are asking more and more from you and you always have delivered. Hats off to you for your patience, ability to listen to others.

At the moment I am using your RR-N-v5.8.3-20170730-helium.zip build and very much happy to see viper, substratum and gapps preincluded. Loved it.

I am sure next builds are even more good and continue. Keep up the work.

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Okay I think the result is pretty clear so I do as you wish:

AOSP apps replaced with GApps. There is a dialer messenger browser calender calculator clock gallery camera and filebrowser. These are the essential apps for every phone and ike I said, I wont remove them.

+subsrtatum

+V4A

+NovaLauncher

+ pico GApps, that means only playservices and playstore

Of course apps like the OTA app are still in there but I removed EVERYTHING else I could find, even facelock, device helth services and google search. Beside the replaced AOSP apps It's really only pico as most of you voted.

I reduced the volume from the lock and unlock sounds a bit and fixed the substratum bug.

will compile it now and upload it to the server.

At the moment I'm running another Xiaomi Max on Cyanogenmod 13 6.0.1 with LOCKED Bootloader and TWRP. I've read that I first have to install Miui 8 to Upgrade some backround things before I move on to Lineage 14. Is this process really necessary? The easiest way would be upgrade by TWRP/ZIP without waiting for Miui Unlock after 72 hours.

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
So you consider yourself entitled to an "optimized" ROM?

Could you share the magic your beloved MIUI9 did? Especially its core configuration and kernel governors?

This ROM is not made for transactions. You need a banking app for them.

Sorry, couldn't resist but there have been a lot of entitlement syndrome here lately and all those "MIUI are wonderfuuulll!" and "MIUI can do this or that" start to become a bit tired.

I am on this ROM and... you know what: It's smooth. Transitions are smooth. Everything is running well.

It sounds like your kernel configuration is wrong, almost like you have a lot of cores offline. Check if you have Kernel Adiutor installed - I had it on mine but it did a noticeable slowdown when I dabbled with the CPU settings.

I have been using this ROM since the original 5.8.1 builds (different maintainer, though) and it has always delivered solid performance and I just forgot that MIUI even existed even if some people seem to like to bring out how wonderful life are "over there". OK, fine: they hand out free tickets to the MIUI Land so go and get yourself one, then.;)

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

I would recommend you to wait for the unlock. Back in "the days" when Nougat started to arrive, there were reports about bootloops and some other stuff when users attempted to flash ROMs with locked bootloaders. Xiaomi patched some of those "loopholes" so I wouldn't try to flash anything Nougat based unless the proper procedure is followed (i.e. update to MIUI 8, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP etc are done).

It is possible to experiment but be sure to be ready with necessary revival tools since there are certain risks here.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] paarkhi:
I think this is the best option, Thanks for not loading the ROM with unnecessary other vendor apps....

[MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] is the 31st july build the new one with substratum fixed et al? didnt see any announcement post. Hnece, confirming. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Yes, you should get an OTA notification, that's why I only do announcement posts when big changes are made or some additinoal information are needed.

Can you please tap on check updates to see if you get the notification ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Just tap on rom tab in the OTA center app, it will download automatically
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] parnz:
It will open chrome and download automatically that right?

Thanks dave :)

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Sounds like dirty flash. Remove the app an reinstall it from playstore, OR do a clean flash to avoid other possible issues.

I am a fan of announcement posts and update posts.

They can be minimal or grandiose. :P

I installed the rom myself and checked every single app. Did you really do a clean flash and wiped everything except internal storage ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Powerapm:
Yes, Madam President, I am all clean up.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
do i need to clean flash this update,and do i neexd to reflash zolla script if i do dirty flash,
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Pretty strange, I got no problems here. Maybe try to remove the apk and install this one:

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I would recommend it now because of the big changes since yesterday!
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
I will be naughty and dirty flash with /system wipe. If it works it works, if not clean flash.;)

Didn't download the build yet but will do after a cup of coffee...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
na i will go what dave is saying clean flash the entire things

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

i will again have to do app updates ,uninstall some apps ,hmmmm.....
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Only the same procedure you always did with the AOSP apps if you don't want the essential apps :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
App updates and uninstalls sound really bad. Everyone is entitled to a personal ROM. Go and build a customized ROM for this user, RIGHT NOW! Schnell, Schnell, schnell!;)

why doesnt xiaomi outsource devs ;) :))
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
OK, "The Ultimate Egocentric Estrogen-Testosteron Entitlement ROM" will require a lot of donations since every user is entitled to their personal build. So 500 users require 500 ROMs, 1000 users require 1000 ROMs and so on.

It will be necessary to have a very powerful build server that can compile a ROM in about 1 minute and then loads of disk space (500 builds x 600MB = 292-300GB). Even worse if a lot of EntitledUsers enter because it would be massive if 10K ROMs are to be built every night.:)

I hope this trend doesn't spread to industrial applications since it will be a complete nightmare to not be able to manufacture anything in a rational manner because every single customer feel that the "need for a customized product is absolute and can't be infringed upon".....
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
if people have problems with clean flash such as oh! I'll need to resinstall my apps, uninstall some, then they should NOT update and stay on the previous version.

The prev version was also solid. It isn't like they'll die if they don't update.

Better still, they should not be playing this custom ROM game itself. Stay on miui (with its fluidity and what not :P )

If you decided to come here, then do as OP says. Don't complain even once.

I always clean flash no matter how much bandwidth and time it takes.

WHY?

Because I enjoy it.

so start enjoying the ride or stay home (miui - It isnt that bad :P )
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
why so much reaction on clean flash topic ,clean flash is best but doing it every second day is not the way to go,

secondly there is a problem of rouge battery percentage ,it suddenly jumps while charging is going on and if i just tap to see how much it is done and while normal using it suddenly drops by 2 or 3%

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

and does that mean custom roms have to be unstable to use and users should keep on updating them,its a highly illogical comment
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
I just clean flashed. Or rather: I wiped /data "accidentally" in TWRP and when I realized it I went full steam ahead.

Next step is to boot everything, get it up and running and then worship MIUI in the upcoming posts...;)

I would like to say this to anyone wanting to praise and worship MIUI:

1. This is not a MIUI thread.

2. Even if MIUI is wonderful, see 1.

3. Even if MIUI is wonderful, it isn't as wonderful as Material Design and a ROM such as this one.

4. If MIUI is so wonderful, please flash it ASAP and stay there.

Even if MIUI would give my device 250K AnTuTu and this ROM 78K AnTuTu I still stay here since it works the way I want, MIUI does not.;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
miui is utter junk in terms of updates and features way behind,i would like to put a request that can the updates be incremental or so they have ro be the entire rom everytime something new is added

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

or probably set a frequency of updates once a week or 15days or which ever is feasable
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
The best part is when people argue that "stock ROM is soooo stable and reliableeee".

There is another forum I am a member on where intellectual, moral statements such as "I haven't rooted for X years" are being made. I have been using custom ROMs since my X1 and can't remember any case where I can say that a "stock ROM" is "more stable".

There are too many horror stories about devices overheating, bricks (when using PC flashing such as Sony PC Companion or Samsung KIES etc) and what not that I just can't relate to with custom ROMs.

Even better is the "custom ROMs can't be used as daily drivers!" statement.

OK, I guess 2% per hour and overheating is the way to go, then. Especially when it is unrooted. Not to mention "I did update from Marshmallow to Nougat without wiping data and the device is so slow and I can fry eggs on it...."

I think everything is all set, then. As long as Netflix and Super Mario Run works, nothing more is needed (such as performance or low power consumption).

My Max has been the most reliable device ever to me and the whole time have been spent on Resurrection Remix 5.7.4, 5.8.0, 5.8.1, 5.8.2 and 5.8.3.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] lckjosh:
On 20170731, camera app is replaced with Google camera. Video recording on Google camera is dark and there is no slow motion mode. Why is AOSP camera being replaced? Especially with something that does not work as well?

IMHO the best configuration is still the stock one with no or minimal Google apps replacing the AOSP ones.

I don't know how many I speak for when I say this but I personally do not like where this thread and ROM is going. I would rather the ROM come with stock apps and then the user chooses what apps he would like to install. I understand that the rationale of replacing these AOSP apps is for a better user experience but does it really translate to one? Or are we trying to fix something that isn't broken?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Of course, this is the very first time a clean flash is required. I will try to avoid that and holding back things that require a clean flash, but sometimes it can't be avoid like now. Of course everybody can try a dirtyflash but I can't give any support for that. Next time a clean flash will be necessary when RR is updated to android O.

I know about that battery drop thing and it was always gone after I lost about 10-20% battery and charged the phone again, so don't care about it :)

Maybe that's due to the missing "device health service" from google. In pico gapps it's not included, only on nano gapps and above, but If soemone needs it, just download it over apk mirror.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sampei:
I also agreed that l. Google camera is less functions. And can't choose external storage too. Actually I removed this Google camera then back to snapdragon camera. :D

PS/ for my environment NOVA can't update to beta version so I removed from system then swap apk by file manager.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] lckjosh:
I hope I didn't sound too rude or condescending in my previous post. It's just my feedback as an end-user. I appreciate the efforts of [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] and am thankful for this ROM. It's just that I feel this thread is going backwards and instead of bringing convenience, it takes it away.

In the end, no matter your decision, I respect it. Thanks for all the hard work so far!

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

Yup. This is what I mean when I say it looks like we're taking a step back.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
How many use AOSP apps?

The poll is open:

https://xdaforums.com/mi-max/how-to/poll-aosp-apps-g-apps-t3650046

Regarding camera: I think the best default one is Snap (i.e. the Snapdragon Camera), which has been the thing in past builds.

Removing the AOSP apps and put G-Apps in (i.e. AOSP Dialer->Google Dialer, AOSP Calendar->Google Calendar etc) is simply the way to go here.

I have just booted the new build after doing a clean flash (did wipe /data by mistake so it became very clean...) and everything seems to run perfectly well. The camera is also OK, no FCs or anything.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
thanks dave,really appreciate your efforts,would be great to see a rom with oreo from you and nijel

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

in my opinion these are 2 best roms right now for mi max prime yours and nijels
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
The only thing I would ask is this:

1. Use Snap (Snapdragon camera) as a default.

2. Use a CAF/SWE Browser such as CS Browser as a default browser.

The reason for this is because they are optimized for our Snapdragons, thus making a lot of sense on our devices.

Putting the G-Apps in for the rest is brilliant.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
with mijel8 base, google camera is working perfectly on my device, so please don't say it's not working as well. It's an other app so you can't compare it. I like the photo sphere and panorama options for exemple, you can even make 360° pictures.

Switch to 4k recording for videorecording in settings and it isn't dark anymore!! ;)

I'm open for every feedback and if the majority wants to use the AOSP cam I will include it :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Okay, noticed ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
It takes some hours to refresh, don't bother ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] lckjosh:
I would be happy with this. Thanks [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Okay, I see most of you are using the snap cam, so I will switch to it :)

regarding to the filebrowser, I searched everywhere and couldn't find it in source. Some things get totally different names and I hate that :D ..I searched about half an hour for the google search app until I found out it is called "velvet" WTF ??? :D ....so if anybody knows the module name of that file browser please let me know, cause I can't find it, not with any kind of words like "storage" "manager" "file/browser" etc. it must have some totally different name again.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Powerapm:
Back to 7.30 ROM, the new ROM GAPPS is not complete, many features are not OK.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
complete ??? :laugh: It's pico, you got the playservices and playstore, that's it, 31 voted for pico :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Not AOSP cam, Snap cam. I.e. the Snapdragon optimized camera (it has been a staple on this ROM most of the time beside a few times when it had video recording problems and ajmsg78 replaced it with Google Camera).

Google Camera is perfectly fine as a complement.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Sorry, of course you are right, we meant the same ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
What features "are not OK"?

You should provide constructive feedback, your current one is more like "it doesn't work". OK, fine, I am a medium so I immediately read your mind and realize that "what doesn't work" is your printer and it is because it is out of paper. Lesser technicians don't posses those capabilities and will stop dead in their track, despite such a clear, well formulated problem description.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

Which file browser are you looking for? It seems like the ROM contains what it "need" in this regard including Documents Provider Storage, which I just used as usual when setting up Titanium.

Regarding browser:

Why use CAF/SWE based browsers? Because they are optimized for our devices by Qualcomm, built on Chromium sources, updated and fast, a property I just can't associate with Chrome.

Chrome also owe me 40% battery, which it used one night (I gave it a go one time, big mistake, back to AOSP Browser at that time).

I have been using those CAF browsers for a long time now and CS Browser (60.0 based) is lightning fast. There are a couple of different builds, I wouldn't say that it "has" to be one or another - rather "CAF based 60.x" for best performance (who did the build is less of a concern here).

I think Qualcomm is doing a great job with their different CAF apps. I think "Snapdragon optimized" is the most sensible thing for our Snapdragons.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I'm just talking about that documents provider storage thing, cause there is not really a need for that beside a normal file borwser and probably a root browser :)

but it's not that important for now. I will just add the old snapdragon cam and that CS browser. For me personally there is no need for it, because I always use root explorer and remove everything else, but I will include it now and compile it because you don't get the snapdragon camera that easy on playstore apkmirror etc.
