[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Kaji:
Would actually also appreciate any information on this ROM. I have used LineageOS, MIUI Stable, Developer, Nightly Beta, EpicRom, RR but not this one solely because the site is Russian as you stated. Would love a bit more info...Figured I'd reply to this in hope to revive it.

As for LineageOS, you might as well try it out now. The third release (most recent one) has had a LOT of fixes and optimizations done to it.

I've been using it for more than one Xiaomi phone and I think it's a great rom. Very fast, smooth, without lag and with an excellent battery life. It also has a face unlock and other settings that you can't find in other roms...I try Epic Rom,Xiaomi Eu,Lineage...

I don't know about US phone service because I'm from Europe...not from Russia but I use Miui Pro without problems or fear also if they are from Russia:cool:

Try it:good:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Kaji:
Thanks! I shall look into it. What kind of modifications/differences are there compared to the stock MIUI? :D
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] 3o3ulka76:
For example you can encrease at 6 number of toggles... double tap where do you want to wake up or turn off the screen...choose the colour the battery when is 100% or 80%...etc

MIUI Pro has had very bad battery backup for me

I switched to Mi-Globe ROM
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I tried LOS. I was excited at first to have stock Android back but then I experienced issues with poor call quality and my mobile data reception became erratic so I ended up going back to MIUI Global with the MI Flash tool and not paying close enough attention allowed it to lock my bootloader again.

My skepticism about MIUI PRO goes beyond the Russian website. There is no information about the ROM in English anywhere I could find. The only review on YouTube is in Hindi. None of the Xiaomi threads on XDA, Google+ or Reddit has information about the ROM. I know Xiaomi phones are primarily sold in China and India but that doesn't really explain why there seems to be no information anywhere about the ROM.

But the fact that the ROM is based in Russia does seriously concern me. I had an issue with Kaspersky Anti-virus (which used to be first rate) not flagging Russian malware on my computer. And that happened a full year before Russian hackers helped Trump become president. Using a Russian operating system on a phone just doesn't seem like the smartest idea.

If you try MIUI Pro post what you think of it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Kaji:
Well said my friend, and kudos for using the flash tool....just feels so much more..genuine. Can't say I haven't accidentally locked my bootloader too but that's how we learn.

I found the LOS to be, well, an absolute stock experience. But like you and I'm sure many others, it just isn't at the point where it should be used as a daily driver. I'm currently running the 11th of May beta but honestly has more bugs than LOS at this stage so will be reverting back to the latest official developer ROM from the MIUI site (fastboot ver of course).

Gave this MIUIPro some extra thought and seeing as though it sounds very limited in extras (you can mod the number of toggles in the quick settings with packages already available on XDA if you wished to do so) I'll stick with builds straight from Xiaomi.

Sorry for the let down ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I was thinking about trying the MIUI Developer ROM. Is it stable enough to use as a daily driver? I looked at posts about the beta but that seemed to be to buggy for me. I value stability since I'm using the Mi Mix 2 as my main phone. That wasn't my original plan but the signal reception is so superior to my Essential PH-1 I couldn't justify using it daily instead even though there are many things that I prefer about that phone.

Maybe LOS for this phone will get better eventually but that was what I kept telling myself when I had an OP5. I hated the stock OS but after trying every custom ROM that existed I found only 1 Nougat ROM (Viper) and 1 Oreo ROM (Phoenix) that I considered good enough to use as a daily driver. I'm not a programmer but I think the quality of custom ROMs has gone down the toilet because they are almost always being made now by people who don't use the phone as their daily driver. The only non-OOS ROM made by a developer who actually used the OP5 daily was Phoenix and you could tell the difference the developer actually using the phone made.

Cyanogenmod was the first custom ROM I ever used that always had bugs, probably because they were trying to be compatible with as many phones as possible. My experience with LOS on 2 previous phones has been exactly the same. I love that they are trying to bring stock Android to phones that don't have it but I wish they were doing a better job.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Kaji:
Hey man. I had been using Developer builds up until now and I can tell you they are easily stable enough for daily use. I cannot confirm this is 100% correct but I'm fairly sure Developer ROMs are just the in-between ROMs where all the minor adjustments happen. The change logs have all included things like "Improved system stability", "removed unnecessary files for [insert app here]" etc. So you never know, they could actually be more stable than any of the "Stable" releases you've used so far, you'll have to be the judge of that. I don't travel much, nor do I require any very advanced function of Android at this stage so for sure there could be something I've missed but I have never had a force shut-down, lack of signal, graphical bug or force-close of app with any of the developer builds.

I never owned a OP5 but I did have a OP3 and OP3t which I used FreedomOS on both but eventually came around to LineageOS only because they all seemed about as optimized as eachother. I'm all for custom MIUI ROMs if they are going to actually improve on something but at this stage all they do is debloat which can be done by anyone and add a few features which actually make the system less stable and battery hungry. My plan is to try the occasional Beta to see what new features Xiaomi is bringing to the table, stick with the latest developer the rest of the time, and when they finally make a stable I'm happy with then stick with that until the next wave of software upgrades is due.

How is the Essential by the way? Apart from the signal. Never met anyone who owned one.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
It's a nice looking phone. Great build quality and excellent QHD screen. It's smaller than other phones I've owned over the past 5 years bit doesn't feel like a small screen phone because of the high screen to body ratio. It's much more comfortable to handle than the Mi Mix 2 although I'm getting used to this one. It's not as smooth or snappy as the Mix 2. But the weak signal reception is a big problem. I used it on T-Mobile (erratic signal), AT&T (poor signal), Sprint (poor signal) and Verizon (very good signal). Unfortunately Verizon's MVNO (Straight Talk) is way more expensive than the ones available for T-Mobile so it made more sense to use a different phone than pay a higher cell service bill every month just so I could keep using the Essential. I should have returned it for a refund but fell in love with it which was why I tried every network. I'm just using it as a backup with very cheap T-Mobile. The signal at home is crap but since WiFi calling works it doesn't matter.

Maybe I'll try the dev ROM then. Thanks for the info.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Programming on OnePlus phones has gotten way worse since the OP3/3T days. Oxygen was programmed by a team in Europe back then. But to save money OnePlus fired the European programmers and transferred the ROM to the Hydrogen team in China. That's when the coding started to go completely to hell.

Software engineers in China and India analyzed the OnePlus version of Oreo and reported that a lot of the code was actually Nougat. They also said the coding overall was very sloppy and unprofessional.

If you follow software devs on their Telegram channels (outside of XDA) it doesn't take long to discover that the poor programming on OnePlus phones is a running joke with many of them.

Running a custom ROM doesn't completely fix the problem either because the custom ROMs still need to use OnePlus firmware which is a mess.

OnePlus phones are so poorly programmed there is no way to use TWRP safely unless you decrypt the data on your phone and keep it permanently decrypted.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Kaji:
You make me really appreciate the fact I chose my Mi Mix 2 over the OnePlus 5t. Coming from the OnePlus 3T it was a difficult decision but I'm glad I made the switch.

Honestly this is the first I've heard of this but that's so bad, they are becoming one of the most popular high end smartphone manufacturers and they struggle to make solid, secure advancements in their software which can potentially lead to massive breaches of privacy via exploits.

Actually I remember not too long ago, wasn't there a big issue where users could access root from within the hidden developer settings of the OS? Without even an unlocked bootloader.

Gotta love that this is an entirely different topic from what this thread was made for.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
For whatever reason tech sites in the United States allow themselves to be shills for OnePlus. Reviews for the latest OnePlus device frequently sound more like shameless promotion than honest analysis because they often are. OnePlus solicits reviews in exchange for free phones and places the reviews on accommodating tech sites. I received an invitation to apply for a free OnePlus 6 phone and help to influence tech buyers. To apply OnePlus wanted a full length sample review of a tech product I already owned. The people who submit the most professional sounding reviews get the free phones and send their reviews to OnePlus. OnePlus then cherry picks those submissions and publishes the reviews it likes on various tech sites.

Pretty much the only two places you can get accurate information about OnePlus phones is on Telegram and Reddit.

Here's what happened with spyware in the 8 months I had an OP5. Someone discovered that a system process in Oxygen was secretly transmitting a lot of detailed user information to servers in China. This was separate from the User Experience Program that owners could opt out of.

An explanation of how to disable the spyware process was published and when asked to comment OnePlus promised to remove the spyware.

Nothing was done at all until the next scheduled monthly update. It appeared that OnePlus removed the spyware but it was discovered that OnePlus instead changed the name of the spyware process and that it was still transmitting the same user information to servers in China.

OnePlus apologized again but still left the spyware functioning until the next scheduled monthly update.

Shortly after it was discovered that an app in Oxygen allowed anyone with physical access to a OnePlus phone to unlock and root it by connecting it to a computer. OnePlus claimed that it was a Qualcomm test app that had been accidentally left on the phone. There actually was such an app but when Qualcomm examined the app found on OnePlus phones they said it definitely wasn't theirs.

It took OnePlus two months to remove the app from Oxygen.

Then in December a new type of spyware was discovered in an Oxygen beta build for the OP3/3T--a clipboard app that was transmitting contents to a server in China. OnePlus insisted that the clipboard app wasn't spyware but was actually a feature intended for its Chinese customers even though OnePlus sells virtually no phones in China.

Also in mid November OnePlus started to receive reports that customers who used their credit cards to make purchases on the official OnePlus site were seeing unidentified charges on their accounts. OnePlus didn't shut down credit card processing on its website until January. By that time over 40,000 OnePlus customers had their credit card information stolen.

OnePlus is not a good company so the fact that American tech sites continue to shill for them is nauseating.

I'm definitely much happier with my Mix 2 than I was with the OP5. This isn't a perfect phone but it's very good for the cost. The OP5 had crummy build quality and felt like cheap junk.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I tried MIUI Pro for a couple days. I wasn't all that impressed with it. MIUI Pro is less smooth and fluid than the latest official Global Dev Build despite having almost all of the Xiaomi MIUI apps removed.

The default keyboard is from Sony Experia for some reason. The only added feature than I personally found worthwhile was the expanded boot menu.

These are the other differences I noticed:

1) There is a smart network function that allows you to choose a specific type of network connectivity when making or receiving phone calls. You can have the phone switch to a specific network type and also automatically shut off WiFi, data or Bluetooth when on a call.

2) Menu options to change the system font and animations and their speed.

3) Built in charging alarm that would have been way more useful if you could customize the low charge/full charge values.

4) Option to use LTE instead of 4G in status bar as well as more options to disable/enable icons that appear there.

5) Three status bar settings (stock, aosp & IOS) that sound promising but all they did was change the arrangement of the status bar icons.

I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. The Google Play Store comes pre-installed but nothing else--not even the Google app. That makes setting up Google Assistant with voice commands much more of a hassle but it's doable--the menus to make that happen in MIUI Pro aren't intuitive but that's probably because it's based on the China ROM.

It's also more of a hassle to get Google apps working properly in MIUI Pro compared with Official Global because you need to download everything from the Play Store and also manually grant the permissions for each app.

Since there are very few pre-installed apps you do have more free storage but I expected the ROM to be way faster and smoother since it's so stripped down. Performance of the ROM definitely isn't bad but for some reason it's inferior to stock.

Even though I chose English as the install language a couple of notifications came up in Russian. What they said I don't know.

I also don't know if any spyware or malware was written into the OS.

I missed stock after using MIUI Pro for just a few hours but ran it for 2 days anyway to give the ROM a fair chance.

I could see someone running MIUI Pro on a device where there was no official global ROM but it didn't do much for me.

Hello,

I have a BYD car, model S1 (Yuan), the radio was developed in China so it have some limitations for example didn't have Google play store, services, etc.

It's really limited to "Baidu". The actual version of Android is 4.2.2 and we are looking for any way to upgrade the radio to something really cool. I guess my goal is to include Android Auto to the radio at some point.

So, any suggestions where to start? a friend of fine already took the radio down of one of the cars and were able to upgrade the Android version to 6.2, however the main issue is that is not recognizing the cameras (1 on the back and 1 on the right side of the car) any ideas?

Hi aaron0989

Sorry to bump and old post, but I have the same car.

Do you still have this car? Were you able to upgrade it?

If you did, Can you explain the procedure?

The thing with the cameras must be something related to a physical connection.

[Galaxy S 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Exzu:
I currently own two KLTE devices, along with other Snapdragon 801 devices running the MSM8974Pro AC and AB version

My plan for these are to try to OC them as far as possible from what voltage allows and actively cool the entire chip using a custom CNC'd heatsink or even waterblock. This entire project is just for ****s and giggles and something todo in my spare time.

I assume there must be a spec sheet somewhere holding all this information that lists the maximum safe voltage for the chip before it dies. (Similar to what AMD and Intel releases with their processors)

So if you've got any valuable intel/documents, please share :D
[Galaxy S 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] koragg97:
I can't say for voltage but the maximum clock speed which is stable (phone doesn't crash) is 2611 MHz. That's without any undervolt or overvolt, using Boeffla Kernel on stock ROM. Never tried a Custom Voltage profile though as this is my only phone :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TechNash:
Hello everybody, I've been inactive on this forum for a while, but I'm back.

Today I'll be showing you how to use your Amazon Fire (Any fire 3.0.0 up), or Fire TV with a stock Android TV like experience. Please note, this is not a custom ROM, Kernel, nor firmware, I just put together a bunch of apps, programs, and codes to make this.

I did make a small adjustment to the Leanback Launcher due to the fact that it's the only Leanback ripped from Android TV that I could find, but it was designed specifically for the Amazon Fire TV.

What will this cover:

Leanback Launcher (Modified)

Removing Lockscreen Ads

Android TV version of:

Hulu

Netflix

Youtube

(Feel free to request anything)

Changing Status Bar (Optional, if you want to do so make sure you have XPosed and Root)

and more :)

Known bugs:

Leanback isn't very touchscreen friendly. It does work, however, it was designed for a remote, and works best with a remote.

The non-Android TV app of YouTube will not show up

Any non-Android TV (if separate versions) will not have a working banner

Launcher Hijack isn't compatible with recent apps or pressing back.

What you need to do:

Download and install: Leanback Launcher.

Download and install: Launcher Hijack V3. Once done open, follow the instructions, and then select 'Leanback for Fire TV' as your default launcher.

Follow this thread to get the Google Play Store.

Android TV built apps are available on this website. Once you find the app you want copy the full URL and paste it in this website.

Once you've done all of this follow DragonFire1024's thread on screen mirroring for the Amazon Fire if you aren't using a Fire TV on this thread.

Please note:

Any app on the Android TV Google Play website is controller compatible.

Leanback Launcher is controller compatible.

Amazon Fire Settings is controller compatible.

Please leave any glitches, bugs, or help you found or require in the comments. I'm sure someone from the comments, or I can help you.

I really like the Leanback launcher, but it's kinda sluggish on the firestick in my opinion. I use it on my Android box that has higher specs and it works great. For the firestick, I've been using the modified HALauncher from here: https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/development/app-halauncher-fire-tv-t3762950
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TechNash:
Well, the firestick has really low specs, so when I meant fire TV, I more meant the Fire TV Box.

I've also never heard of HALauncher, could you please tell me what that is?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] dondraper23:
Sure- it's pretty similar layout to Leanback launcher which is what attracted me to it since I wanted the look of Android TV but the Leanback mod didn't exist yet. It allows for much more customizations. Depending on how susceptible you are to OCD, that can be a good or bad thing. It works well for me since I have a firestick plugged into a CRT TV and you can change the size of the icons as well as creating the categories you want them to be placed in. You also can have custom backgrounds, not just on the home screen, but for every app that is highlighted. You can check out this post since there is a video showcasing it: https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/fire-tv-set-halauncher-default-t3762464

Hmm. That looks real nice, I may do a review on it, and may use it.

However, this threads goal was to make it look like stock *android TV,* not Fire OS with a custom launcher that isn't the default Leanback.

Anyways, I would like to wonder, what parts are buggy about the leanback launcher? What's better about HALauncher other than customizability?
