[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Sorry, but what the heck are you trying to say with any of these indirectly judging posts?

Really, what could be helpful about that (instance)?

The dev most probably put a lot of effort into any update. If something's not like one expects or likes it, maybe suggesting things or thinking along and trying to finding out what might have changed might be something (more) helpful.

why don't you just shut your mouth off and scroll up and see what's people complaining about? nowhere i have said anything that Dishonored the developer.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
Why don't I just shut my mouth?

That's the one helpful post I was longing for from your side. Thanks a lot, that speaks for itself.

If you ever scrolled up anywhere, you would've noticed that I've already been involved in "what's people complaining about"...

When though do you ever post anything that is not judging or demanding or in this case implying that people shouldn't update to a new build. You can report what you think is not working well, and change the ROM or ROM-version on your own, without this nonsense.

If I was the dev, I certainly would feel a little offended by your post, but surely that's beyond your horizon or will to do better.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Plabon7:
that's why you aren't any developer. :) As i am saying that i didn't meant to hurt anyone. And you're the one who's chasing after me. I am not here to obey your nonsense perception and please stay out of my business if you are a healthy mindedness guy :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
I do make software, but maybe you're right in a way.

That's why I don't wanna be a developer in an Android environment and that's why so many great developers keep coming and leaving disappointed after a while.

Who has time for this? And for what?

You just don't perceive yourself the way this all comes across. Anyway, that's too much off-topic already, so I'll stop at this point. Just couldn't help myself this time. Only way to deal with stuff like that is ignoring. I actually do know that.

sms sending issue when VOLTE on

There is a problem with sending sms when VOLTE it's activated. Can you tell me how to use both VOLTE and send sms?

I use the second build of PE and Priima kernel.

Edit: I have flashed floppy kernel in order to see if it's changing but eventually reverted back to Priima but now even if I disable Enhanced 4G LTE Mode the VOLTE it' on. The only way around was to choose a network type without LTE.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ~N.A.W.Y~:
Well, apparently the developer of Darkness kernel quit updating his kernel after the massive negative "feedback" in the last pages..

The latest build is very unstable ! Battery is draining heavily! Only gives about 3 hours of backup which is not good! It was not happening in the previous builds!

And please add a pocket mode system as it the screen turns on everytime its in my pocket and it types by itself!

Another suggestion is please add the ambient display pocket sensor system so that when we take the phone in our hand of get it out from our pocket we can see the notifications via ambiemt display!

I love this rom and don't wanna switch to another so please fix these things!

Lookingd for these 3 things !

Guys on latest build.

Just flash previous Kernel image or try Priima+ / Floppy. I bet developer is aware of this problem and absolutely sure that he will fix this Kernel issue quickly.

Love this ROM and I think that one little kernel flashable zip will give you a reason to love it too.

Hi guys,

Just flashed last build and the previous one, and I'm getting FC everytime it boots (from google starter assistant). The only thing I can do is to select my language, then FC all the time. Data and cache are ext4, flashed 8.2.1 firmware from link. Don't know if I have to use ext4 for internal storage partition, but as long as I tried, I can't change it from TWRP

Any ideas?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] demiosha:
I want to share with you my suggestions about Google App and apps all over the phone FCs.

First of all, delete all updates and cache of Google App. Don't disable it!

Then, you need to go to TWRP, mount /system, find /system/priv-app/Velvet in File Manager and either delete or rename Velvet.apk (I made it just Velvet without .apk).

When you will boot into system, your Google App will be gone.

Just go to Google Play Store and install it again.

You will lose Google Voice recognition from every screen, that's all I could found. But since we use Pixel Launcher, we can use OK Google hotword right from the homescreen. I'm not using it at all, so it's not a huge deal for me.

As a result - no FCs on my phone for two days and counting.

P.S.: Priima Kernel rocks. Really want this one in the next build.

Can't confirm overheat on my device.

That toggle will be sweet tho, but for your convenience you can just make a long tap on Location tile in your notification bar. That will pull you right into Location settings.

Hey.. great rom Dev.. keep up the good work. Love your rom but got a few issues..

I have formatted phone then flashed February firmware and the pixel experience. UI is nice and performance is crisp.

Few drawbacks or things I'm unable to fix/find

1. Camera app is sooooo slow and useless picture quality

2. Sounds randomly switch off. Have to reboot to bring phone back to normal full sound ( media, ringer and all other sounds)

3. Unable to locate music visualization setting for lock screen.

These are after 2 days off using this rom as a daily driver...

Suggestions...

1.Port miui camera app... That app rocks... Or already the zero shutter lag camera app

2. Block ads without root.. can't root coz I want to use banking apps(love that I can use these apps finally)

3. Lock screen shortcuts

Will update as I continue to use the ROM..

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Phil_Smith:
There are no stupid questions, there are only stupid people. - No, just kidding^^.

All custom ROMs are based on a certain firmware, that is the blobs (= binary large objects) are based on this firmware.

So there is always a minimum requirement that has to be present when flashing the ROM, or else it won't finish the installation.

Updating your firmware to a version above the minimal one that is needed is always possible and can be done without any wipes or reinstallations, if you use the flashable zips from the thread you most probably know.

Whether this results in something better or not widely depends. You either have to search, then ask, for other people's experiences or of cause simply try it out and report back yourself.

Keep the version you know to be working on your internal storage, and simply flash it back if something's not working.

I'm on another ROM with fw 8.3.1 Oreo based, and am satisfied till now.
