Helium or Hydrogen ? On my Hydrogen, qc 2.0 is working fine :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hans william:
On my helium sir QC 2 doesn't working, the charging speed it's very slow, more than 3 hours
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] dj69holland:
on helium...am using Aukey charger and working fine getting 2400mah top, but does change obviously depending on internal temp and batt% - which is normal
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Please try an other charger, maybe the stock xiaomi charger just for testing porposes.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nijel8:
Don't pay attention to charging issues b/c there's no any. Xiaomi made charging safe and that's what creates the confusion. Put the phone in the fridge and watch QC in action... not kidding...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Sounds like you made the DRM Bliss version (add in a boot animation telling how beautiful and wonderful DRM are, the best invention ever known by mankind), then.

Why not making a fully loaded Kodi ROM similar to fully loaded Kodi boxes. TVaddons.ag did shut down (moral cookies incoming) but there are several other options. A "fully loaded" Kodi with Exodus, Stream All The Sources (SALTS) and so on would be great.;)

The fun part here is the UK attempts to ban those TV boxes. I wish them good luck here since it is easy to import one. They tend to come prerooted and everything as well.

It would be a lot of fun with a "fully loaded Kodi ROM" that enable all devices to reach the same status as a regular MeCool BB2 and other TV boxes.:)

The attempts to take down TVaddons.ag didn't feel like anything particularly successful since this is a fight the media conglomerates just can't win. Take one service down and five new ones pop up.

dave why is there a hissing sound when listenig to music
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
No hissing sound on my device. Check your headphones and that the cable is plugged in fully (and also its integrity).
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Honestly I don't know the exact reason why google widevine drm is running now, it just worked after adding lots of files from an other google widevine working rom. netflix is working well now from playstore. But I also added a lot of other things. What I always noticed, almost everyone is flashing gapps and replaces the stock apps. Now I did that in my build. I replaced almost every stock app to most common apps. Trebuchet is now nova launcher with all additions like tesla, companion etc. V4A is preinstalled and you only have to open it once, let the driver install and reboot, even with strikt SElinux, no need to set it to permissive.

Stock dialer app and messenger app are now the google apps, stock email is now gmail, jelly is replaced wirh chrome and so on. All Google Playservices are preinstalled, so gapps doesn't need to be flashed anymore. Added a lot of new ringtones, alarms, system sounds from samsung, sony and pixel, replaced the boring stock wallaper to a custom designed RR wallpaper......... Still needs some tuning but I guess 1-2 days and I will release my, let's say V2 build of RR :D

[/COLOR [MENTION=362107]e90[/MENTION] to be more precise the distortion/hissing happens in between the time of 2 songs once the aong starts its gone
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Neo.Collin:
Holy cow... that's a motherload of upgrades... Awesome!!! I am back from my travel and was planning to update from 03 to latest... I'll be installing Tuga-Browser instead of chrome... man... i love the things you're doing with RR!!!

BTW do you see any differences for all the system apps in Android O? Will they work in N the same way?

[MENTION=4636312]Dave H[/MENTION]ow about firefox focus as a browser
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rizky123:
Today I have really weird problem,my phone speaker have non stop hissing sound without any music playing,if I turn off volume it will stop,anyone with same issue ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I could preinstall all browsers, but I guess that's not the best solution :laugh:

I just don't know anybody who is using the stock browser, so I decided to include the most common and if you look at this picture, it's pretty clear why I choose chrome as stock browser ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Sounds like a broken speaker in my opinion. I got this in the past with my windows phone and it was resolved after tunrning the phone completely off and on again :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Neo.Collin:
Agree brother... The critical point that wiki doesn't show is.. which fork of chrome are people using... stock/beta/alpha or even other forks like Tuga-Browser or something else :). But then most people just goes with what is default :) unlike the majority of XDA :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] akubaek:
Same goes to me.. using qc 3.0 .. charger rate same like normal charger
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rizky123:
I can hear it clearly when I put my ear to the speaker,but when I use it normally I don't really notice it,I just notice it also happen to my Samsung phone too,I think I will just ignore it,turn off phone make it gone for few minute then back again
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sameermehta1977:
i dont know but i think chrome is a resource hungry browsee,i liked via with adm download manager,firefox focus,and the stock one

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Claureid:
Im using accubattery to measure charging rate and other battery related stats. Im noticing faster battery drain in RR compared to miui global stable. Am I the only one facing this ? How to fix this ?

Thanks for building the RR v2 build [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION]. Looking forward to downloading it :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hans william:
Yes Sir I will find another charged, tested on my Mi5 and Mi Note 2 charger also my One Plus charger it's the same, when locking it's show slow charging, I'm on firmware 7.7.20 Sir
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
And this rate is? My drain is 0.0-0.1 percent in standby and between 4-6 percent with the screen on. What do you get on MIUI?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
Excited for this release. Really. Replacement of aosp apps with google inside the ROM itself is actually the best way to go at this point of time where aosp apps are really old.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Is the new upcoming ROM one where the G-Apps are already integrated considering replacement of AOSP apps? I.e. no need for flashing Open G-Apps?

Since I have Nova Launcher installed as a user app I assume the proper step will be to uninstall it first, then flash the ROM (guess there would be a conflict otherwise).

If you are to integrate a browser I would recommend you to check out CS Browser, which is built on the latest CAF/Chromium 60.x source - it is lightning fast on my device (even faster than CAF/SWE 58.x based ones I used before). Chrome is just a slow mess in comparison.

I like the idea of having V4A integrated with SELinux "Enforcing" - excellent way of increasing security while keeping the benefits.

The only thing I would kindly ask is to *not* include Magisk but rather let the user decide like in the current builds. I always use SuperSU on my "DRM free zone" and I think it is more reliable (too many reports about loosing root over at the dedicated forum).

When the new Xposed Nougat become more reliable a "Grand Luxe" ROM could include it together with SuperSU.;) I would wait until App Settings work, though (that module is the best replacement for the good old Hybrid Engine of PA).

Your new ROM will be extremely interesting and I like that you go for an "All In Approach" with it.

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

This kind of statements, which pop up from time to time raise a lot of questions:

1. How much is the drain per hour - this number is extremely important to be able to draw any kind of conclusion.

2. Device configuration (i.e. power saving measures). I am pretty sure MIUI is more aggressive than stock RR in its power management but can't see how it can stack up against RR configured for maximum power efficiency.

If "MIUI is more power efficient/less drain" than I can only reference my device with 0.0-0.1% per hour drain. "More efficient" than that must essentially lead us to either "0.00000001% per hour instead of 0.1%" or even to a device that produce power rather than consuming it.;)

Simply put: RR is a very power efficient ROM when proper actions are taken. I just can't see how MIUI can outperform my own configuration (and I wouldn't use it even if it can be proven that it use 0.0000001% per hour instead of 0.1%).:)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Claureid:
Thanks, I just installed all the apps I had on MIUI and using the the phone normally, like few cslls, games, music and all that. I didn't enable any power saving features. Average power saving for MIUI used to be around 9% per hour but its over 11% for RR most of the times. Battery drain due to clash of clans and clash royale ranges between 12% to 13% per hour which are the only 2 games I play. This is without turning any power saving feature on, in both the ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
OK, my power consumption on RR:

Standby: 0.0-0.1% per hour.

Use: 4.5-10% per hour (the higher number is when I have flash drives connected, most of the time I am hovering around 5-6% per hour).

This is with my own configuration and Zola scripts enabled. Interactive governor.

So I just can't agree with the thesis about the "power efficient MIUI" unfortunately.;)

It is also possible to make "per app profiles" regarding CPU/GPU in order to make even more granular power saving setups.

MIUI could very well have a bit more aggressive power management than "un-configured RR" but based on those numbers "configured RR" is the winner.:)

Posts stating that "ROM X is more power efficient than ROM Y" is a bit problematic unless more detailed descriptions about configuration and actual numbers are made. I haven't exceeded 9.5-10% per hour on my device and that is with the flash drive connected.

Highest power consumption ever was when I connected my external hard drive (20% per hour approximately).

Edit: If I want to increase my drain I can do it easily:

1. All location services on (especially Location Sharing and Location History).

2. All Google Play Services on.

3. Autosync on.

4. Autostart as many apps as possible.

5. Allow Keep Awake and Run in Background for everything.

6. Use my external hard drive.

Perhaps MIUI is "a bit more power efficient due to more aggressive power management than such a setup".;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Okay, I'm done, the builds should be online in about 1 hour, (Both online now)

first of all: NO MORE GAPPS REQUIRED NOW AND I DON'T RECOMMEND FLASHING THEM.

!! CLEAN FLASH IS REALLY RECOMMENDED THIS TIME !! PLEASE DON'T REPORT BUGS WHEN DOING A DIRTY FLASH

New install instructions:

1. Flash the rom,

2. Flash one of your prefered root variant (Magisk, SuperSU or LineageSU)

3. enjoy!

You still can use the rom without root, but I really recommand to root to get all features of the rom!

I included the Google apps now to my project and they will automatically be updated to latest version with every upcomming build. But of course you can manually update the apps if you don't want to wait :)

The choosen stock apps are the most common apps used today, so please feel free to give me feedbacks about which apps you like and which you don't like as stock apps. :)

Keep up the good work, this sounds really interesting.

Think this is the first ROM I have encountered with included G-Apps beside the Sony Concept/Hybrid ROM and GPe ROMs.

Which version of V4A is included? Are we talking about 2.5.0.5-guitardedhero?

It will be very interesting to flash this baby.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Aloosh1982:

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
The latest version 2.5.0.5 codename beautiful. There are so many versions, so I decided to keep it simple the first time :o
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] krunalkm:
Keep up the good work.. [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
I guess it is the same thing as the "guitardedhero" one since it is the same version. Great that you included it, ergo no more "MIUI have better audio" arguments then.;)

Recommending a full wipe is certainly prudent with all those changes. I appreciate the elimination of the G-Apps separate flash. I also guess Nova is a system app now rather than a user one?

I think you got pretty close to what I called the Decadent Extravagant SystemPorn-Grand Luxe Device with a Dirty Mind - the whole description of the ROM closely align with it.;)

Edit: The Maximum Decadent Extravagant Immoral Big Middle Finger-to-DRM-providers Anti-Netflix Edition is a similar ROM but with a fully loaded Kodi installation included. I.e. it has to come with a huge "UK users beware!" sticker. (Their attempts to outlaw Kodi boxes should be met with a high powered attack with every custom ROM coming in a "UK edition" with Kodi and all interesting addons preinstalled.)

Since Exodus has evolved into Covenant, it would be a must in such a Kodi installation:

http://koditips.com/covenant-kodi-install-new-exodus-addon/

I realize that I have to update my Kodi setup when I do the flash since I am still having some old addons in place.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zola III:
Ukulele!

Unrelated: V4A is by far the most advanced sound processor present on the platform for year's & can produce sound stage you never thought can exist. Only downside is you need to bee a expert to tune it & possess a pair of Spock's ears (never really liked Legolas), so it's not really for everyone (only odd people who like to call them self audiophiles). So in short is not mentioned to be a stock (default) ROM thingy. [MENTION=1547420]E90 Commie[/MENTION] well I don't have money for a pair of high tire Senn's but I can recommend a pair of Superlux HD-668B (over the ear, semi open back, nimidium 50mm driver's) which is really cheap & sounds better than mid tire Senn's, Gredo, Dennon... I consider them as a sweet spot for anyone who likes music (because almost anyone can afford them), they aren't really HiFi audiophile stuff & new gen ones with real rare earth magnets will have better specs (starting at 350$) but with their price, sound stage, clarity and cetera they certainly can keep up with everything in up to 150$ category. Same goes for numerous clones of Superlux HD-668B (different headband mostly).

Best regards.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Yes you are right, but even if you only enable V4A and use the FIREqualizer you allready get a way better soundquallity than using the stock config :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] memooffon:
Hi.

Flashing firmware not required for now?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
For the new build ? No, not necessary :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Zola III:
I prefer Foobar2000 for music (with it's 96KHz up sampling) as it's Open source & I highly recommend it & ViPER's EQ (it's a bit insane to use anything other if you have V4A on your disposal [already]). I (also) tune sub bass feeds and other than that is really individual and tied to listening device used...
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Yes, nova is the only launcher now, so it's a system app!

...okay, so the Rom is called "DESPGLDwaDM-Rom" :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Excellent! Best name ever... Will look into making a boot animation honoring this name.:)

One option as well: Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 - DESPGLDwaDM Edition.

That idea entices me.

I will check the boot animation things tomorrow.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
thanks a 1000000000000x times for this wonderful custom build on nijel8 tree.

the ROM is working smoothly.

All google apps were latest apart from Phone app.

It needed an update to the latest (10.1.161735957) #justreporting :)

PS: I have opted for beta testing of google app and maps too, so those updated too.

But I know you included latest stable version of those. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I'm syncing the source with open gapps before I build the rom so I always get what is up there at the moment :)

edit: yes just saw there was an update 5 hours ago, an my sync was 6 hours ago so that's why :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] man2106:
thank you again [MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] dirty flash again and everything looks good only had to flash magisk viper4a driver cos using magisk for root
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] HannibalLecter:
:D :D This initiative is the coolest and the most sensible one that I've seen in my xda life for over 7 years.

A custom ROM with the most stable and updated base (from an enthusiastic and responsible dev) with all old aosp apps removed and replaced with latest Google offerings along with probably the best sound mod (my knowledge about these sound mod, V4A, ARISE etc is limited - that is why I love it even more when it is pre-baked and I don't have to do a thing :P )

Cannot wonder enough why did anyone not think of this before you. :P

Great Great Great work!

Finally a ROM for miMAX that has everything for me (Nijel8 base + OMS) and more (RR) and even more (new google apps preinstalled + V4A)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
Sounds good. I will give the dirty flash a whirl, then. Let's see... how it goes but your post sounds encouraging.
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Only cause of dirtyflash. With clean flash everything is setup and doesn't need to be reflashed but glad it's working fine :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
thx for that nice feedback, that keeps me motivated :):good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] man2106:

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
Yes due to dirtyflash. I tried it too and it didn't work. Got the I/O error over and over again, so finally clean flash and everything was fine. No need for the magisk V4A version, just use the preinstalled V4A. But of course it's up to you :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] E90 Commie:
I took the following precautions before I dirtied:

1. Uninstalled Nova Launcher

2. Removed Google Maps from /data/apps/

3. Removed a few "suspected" apps from /data/apps/

No FCs or I/O errors so far (I am just letting it settle down but the full boot procedure including the Nova and everything else worked).

You read my mind. I was looking hard for a goood ROM for my Redmi note 3.

Could not find any. I could reallly use your suggestion. Carbon ROM has been excellent on my One plus one.

Do you have Kenzo too?
[MENTION=8001680]Davehimself[/MENTION] I found that aosp email app and exchange services app is still present. I think we can remove it since, we have gmail. Nobody uses that app I'm sure.

Also,

cclock

call log backup/restore

cm audio service

sms push

live lock screen service

music

That'll debloat the ROM properly :D

Email and exchange Services can surely go :P
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Davehimself:
I personally agree, but was not sure about that. Maybe I just remove them too and wait for the feedback. Some people asked for the gallery app, so I included it. Personally I remove ALL stock aosp apps :)
