Thanks, for solution. I've just tried it but.. It is not the best.. Sort keys from Play Store do not match the screen. They are covering dock icons while they should stand under the dock

I had no problem to use software keys in other custom roms..

Is it possible to make a change in this ROM?

I would like to use this ROM for a longer time..

Another bug: i cannot turn off words correction. More over the correction is made in English even if system language is set to another my native language. In result almost every word is underlined with red

Ok. I've found solution for words verification. It is just to uninstall aosp keyboard and flash for example Xperia Keyboard

Hello,

I'm trying to change the region within MIUI, but MIXplorer was not installed and I couldn't find the folder data/miui/cust, neither could I find the file I needed.

Could I have some tips on this regard?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mikussj3:
did you follow the rom installation instructions?

Are you clear data partition or factory reset after flash rom?

cache and dalvik cache cleaning is required after flash rom, not DATA.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Adinias:
Thanks, that worked.

However, would it be possible to change the region to the Netherlands?

I happen to have a Xiaomi phone myself, but I had to flash an EU ROM.

Could I somehow add that language to this phone?

I had the same issue once I've installed the ROM. I've just passed it by reinstalling the rom and choosing correct region in configuration creator. then when I was in MIUI, i had to change region once again but it was possible then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mikussj3:
do it this way:

Change Region

MIXplorer (or other root files manager):

Go to data / miui / cust / 'your region' / cust.prop open and copy all line to system / build.prop

REBOOT

If you do not do it, the next time you restart your phone will be the region of China again

The thing that could work better is ram management. When i was using this ROM, i had 200 mb free ram very often. The device was freezing for 30s. In other - AOSP based Roms I had always about 750-1000 mb free ram Andrzej ROM woked always fluenly.

Wonderful job done and i really appreciate your efforts, but following are the issues that has been faced so far and need your attention. After clean install Google services keep crashing forever ( I've used the file which includes GApps). Second, the ROM is not smooth to operate, it really lags alot ! Otherwise flawless to me. Please look into the issues.

Thank You

PS. Please correct me if i did something wrong as i am opting this rom for daily drive.

What exatly do some mods who don't survive at factory reset?

There are several mods that don't survive at factory reset. What they exatly do? How can I keep update them if I decide to save them?

\data\miui\app\

- ota-miui-XiaomiSmartHome.apk (seems SmartHome, the lookscreen app. I tought was a default miui feature..)

- ota-miui-MiGalleryLockscreen.apk (seems Wallpaper Carousel, also I tought was a default feature.)

Is there a way to officially find and update them other than manually save from your data partition?

\data\miui\prebuilts\

- com.android.soundrecorder.external.lib.apk (extra feature?)

- com.miui.gallery.extra.videoeditor.v1000.apk (extra feature?)

- com.xiaomi.scanner.external.lib.apk (extra feature?)

\data\miui\videoplugins\

- default_external_package_info.json

- funshion.zip

- iqiyi.zip

- pptv.zip

- sohu.zip

- youku.zip

\data\miui\

- cdrom_install.iso (Windows app)

- precust_theme

I've find out that this files are included in the patchrom_miui project. Have I to copy them in the original path after factory reset? Can I remove/debloat some of them??

and than does \data\app\org.cyanogenmod.snap-1 is an upgrade of \system\app\Snap ? If so since you've included Snap in system app why don't you included the updated version?

Are they on /data partition because are they subject to update?

Since they are not ordinary user apps (not present in "user" apps list like mixplorer or adaway) why did you plan not to update them on /system partition?

The other \data\app makes no dubt to me...

And obviously ... thank you very much [MENTION=6385701]mikussj3[/MENTION] for your amazing MIUI 8 porting.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mikussj3:
1

'There are several mods that don't survive at factory reset. What they exatly do? How can I keep update them if I decide to save them?' - patchrom-miui contains these files. I did not remove them, I do not know exactly what they do - I know that without them you can 'live'. will not update these files.

2

'Is there a way to officially find and update them other than manually save from your data partition?' - I did not look for newer versions of apk. you can search in other roms (other devices). I do not know the official update way.

3

'\data\miui\prebuilts\

- com.android.soundrecorder.external.lib.apk (extra feature?)

- com.miui.gallery.extra.videoeditor.v1000.apk (extra feature?)

- com.xiaomi.scanner.external.lib.apk (extra feature?)

\data\miui\videoplugins\

- default_external_package_info.json

- funshion.zip

- iqiyi.zip

- pptv.zip

- sohu.zip

- youku.zip

\data\miui\

- cdrom_install.iso (Windows app)

- precust_theme' - as I wrote, miui-patchrom contains these files. I'm guessing that you can remove them without harming the rom.

4

'I've find out that this files are included in the patchrom_miui project. Have I to copy them in the original path after factory reset? Can I remove/debloat some of them??' - exactly. You have not to copy them after factory reset if you dont want. You can remove all of them.

5

'and than does \data\app\org.cyanogenmod.snap-1 is an upgrade of \system\app\Snap ? If so since you've included Snap in system app why don't you included the updated version?

Are they on /data partition because are they subject to update?

Since they are not ordinary user apps (not present in "user" apps list like mixplorer or adaway) why did you plan not to update them on /system partition?' - Snap.apk in system/app crashes, i decided to put it data/app

----------------------------------------------------------

data/app/com.google.android.GoogleCamera-1/base.apk2 - this is google camera. If you want try it - delete '2' from base.apk2 (base.apk) - reboot.

thanks for your interest in my rom.

Regards.

Hello, I have installed the new version 5 with GAPPS, it is true that it continues to shut down Google Play Services but when granting the permissions it disappears. All right, and with the new Kernel at the moment very well. I'm having problems with the Milanuncios app, I just fail on this mobile with this ROM and I would like to know if someone else happens and has a solution. Load the first page but when you touch it at any point, it will load. Thank you very much for the ROM.

Help request: bootloop with dalvik re-creation after low battery shut down

I've accused this heavy trouble (after one month of perfect everyday use) right after a simple low battery shut down..

Maybe it occur an "hard" shut down due to a low voltage peack (even if the battery is very recently manufactured and in perfect conditions), but after the shut down I've plugged the power supply, waited some minutes, turned on and boot. MIUI starts an endlessy boot, with dalvik recreation everytime, on and on ...

No loockscreen anymore.

Endless very long bootloop. :crying:

I've tried to manyally wipe dalvik and cache partion with TWPR but it doesn't help.. :rolleyes:

I've tried to flash back the Kernel MIUI8 Stock, wiping manually dalvik and cache but it doesn't help.. :rolleyes:

I've tried to flash back the SideCore SGS4 Kernel but also it doesn't help... :rolleyes:

Data partition seems perfect, I can access it from TWPR. :eek:

Any advice on how to unlock this very unconfortable situation??

The MIUI8 was in great condition and works like a charm, before...

I do not want to be forced to use the Stock TW5 but also I can not live with the risk of loosing completely the operating system just after a (maybe hard) low battery shut down...

Thank you in advance for your help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] guest4711:
I'd dirty flash the ROM again, wipe dalvik and cache and reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SeaFargo:
Thank you for the answer ... I've another phone with me now, I am not so "isolated"...

In any case I've done many /system modification, bloats cleans and some other app readded, I do not want a so radical solution, that can bring me in trouble anyway if in the future it accurrs during a journey as example ...

I can leave with a fast file replacing, or file modification, but I do not wanto to be always in condition to need a complete rom reflash during the rest of my S4 live ... I think you can understand ...

In any case thank you for the advice. I can do it for save some of my settings ...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SeaFargo:
[MENTION=6385701]mikussj3[/MENTION], do you have any suggestion about how to interrupt my bootloop other than dirty flash the entire ROM?

The /system partition shuld be write only, so it shudn't be involved..

Maybe there is some other file on /data partition that cause the bootloop... Any advise on what delete on /data patition to reset/refresh the boot procedure?? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mikussj3:
First of all, backup your entire rom

secondly in TWRP go to advanced - file manager - data - app and copy this directory ('app') to the internal memory (these are all your user's applications)

thirdly Delete all hide files and 'Android' folder in internal memory

-delete files: 'dctp' and 'did' (internal memory) and all folders: 'miui, mi, xiaomi, mi_drive, yymet ...' etc from internal and external memory, delete folders 'Alarms, backups' (internal memory )

and now I see it like this:

- restore factory settings, clear cache and reboot. (if rom is up, you can install mixplorer from xda and copy 'app' folder to the 'data' partition)

ps. what kind of modifications are you install of system?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SeaFargo:
In the hope of finding a viable solution with some necessarily short operation.

Dear [MENTION=6385701]mikussj3[/MENTION], thanks a lot for your answer, I appreciate a lot.

I try to explain why I am not going to follow your suggestion to factory reset, even after backing up apps and their settings.

I travel a lot for sport reasons (I'm a sailor) and so I'm looking for a very reliable solution.

A "very reliable solution" can also be and has been in the past a ported ROM, why not ....

Seems I'm not a rookie I can perfectly live with some or many bugs (like "no-signal" bug, camera or apps crash, build prop manual modification ans so on..).. To be more precise I can live even with a bootloop crash but only if there is a relatively easy/fast solution to solve it, like removing/modifying on-the-fly some /data or /system file and reboot but ....

... but I can not be in condition to be forced to backup all my apps and settings on any storage (that can be full, or too small or full of GoPro video of my regatta and nautical maps and tracks ...) ... and perform a factory reset to use back an important thing like a smartphone ...

If I just need to TWPR erasing/modifing/overwriting some file, permission, cache, dalvik or erase some system apps data and reboot that's OK, no problem ... I can manage it..

But I can not be forced to reflash or factory reset an entire ROM (even if I'm able to backup and restore user apps and settings) ...

I do not know if I properly explain myself ...

Obviously this is not a criticism about your work at all!! This is a free under-work project of a ported ROM and not a paid Stock Rom.

I do not demand anything from your work, which I find very well done and I am sure that if you knew the solution to avoid this, you would have already done it.

I only wanted to write two lines to describe my need and in the hope of finding a viable solution with some even sophisticated but necessarily short operation.

Kind regards from Italy.

Hey. Maybe try clearing data folder in android/data

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SeaFargo:
I've already tryied but it doesn't help. I've tryied to wipe all internal and external storage "non personal managed" data but it doesn't work. :(

I think there is some /data file or folder I have to remove to "refresh" the boot procedure but I do not know what ... Or maybe there is some system app data I have to wipe ... But also here I do not know what ... :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SeaFargo:
/data/system forder is involved ...

It was pretty predictable but ... I can confirm that the bootloop is caused by something inside /data/system forlder.

I've tryed to complete remove that dir and the system boots.

Obviously I've lost tons of settings that way ...

Copying back my original /data/system reiterate the bootloop ...

Just limitations due to MIUI like:

* lock screen user message very limited

* customizing notification toggles limited

* custom button actions limited

But memory management seems good better than Nougat Remix.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cenonmin:
After weeks of use I can say its okay, some more annoyances:

* The Status bar UI size and fonts cannot be changed - They are really small. You can change DPI but that causes other "size" problems for all apps, would have been really great if you can tweak the status bar without installing xposed apps or installing a System UI overlay.

* Pemissions not sticking after a reboot which can be worked around

* Live wallpapers can be lost after a reboot so have to go back to stock launcher to set and then back to custom launcher (Nova in my case)

All the problems are related to MIUI and not the dev, just wish there are permanent workarounds :'(
