[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Bill_G:
I tested Carbon for a evening once recently. Besides its gestures, which didn't appeal to me, I found it be a bit bland like Lineage really.

I can get 1%/4hr idle drain with that AEX build I mentioned, but I'm using Helix Engine power manager with it - it's available on the Play Store, by the way... ?

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] MrGiovanni:
Hello.

I'll be unlocking my bootloader soon, at first I wanted to install the Xiaomi EU rom but then I found out about all these beautiful ROMs and I couldn't decide.

I don't like the Pixel Experience ROM because I don't have that freedom of editing/customize the theme etc.

The Resurrection Remix ROM seems the best in that case, and I've heard it's also great performance wise.

What Kernel should I use with it? Does it drain much battery? More than standard MIIUI?

Thank you in advance
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] snkmv:
Generally, the kernel included with the ROM will be most stable, I use RR Oreo + Gabriel back then, it was almost compareable battery life (or drain a lot more) but heats more than what Xiaomi.eu + Gabriel for me and that might just be what makes RR drain more.

You can try Clarity and maybe it performs better, but generally I like Gabriel better because of how much you can tweak the kernel
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] MrGiovanni:
Clarity sounds cool, which version should I download?

There's one with the CPU overclocked and one without the overclock
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] snkmv:
Obviously without overclock is best with your battery, if you want a balance I would set the BIG cores at stock frequency, and overclock the LITTLE cores for whatever, which I am not sure if Clarity can do, but I heard 2.9 has been good, though you will miss out on lots of updatea up to 3.7
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Cygnuss:
Clarity works very good no issues latest version is 3.8

If I call someone on their cellphone, they hear echos. I hear them just fine and they hear me crappy along with their own echo. Any solution for this without having to use wifi?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] liquidsilver:
You didn't indicate what headset, if any, you're using. A headset is a must. The original wired headset will give good performance. Bluetooth adds some latency to the setup. (not recommended with handheld voip clients)

Avoid anything with the speaker and microphone in the same shell and you should be fine.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Montisaquadeis:
My Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" from 2013 is having MAJOR battery issues in that when it drops to 30 or below the battery percentage will just drop to nothing and the device will turn itself off until charged again. So if anyone knows of a good replacement battery on amazon that would be good otherwise I will be replacing the thing with a Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4" which has a 8.4" 2560x1600 IPS Panel a msd slot as well as supporting OTG and running Android 8 by default which means I will be able to run newer apps that require Android 5+ since my HDX is still running 4.4.2 or so. Also has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands for wifi so I can use both my MOGA Pro Power for emulators and things like Moonlight while still having great wifi performance. So yeah its taken forever for a decent replacement for the Kindle Fire HDX to come out since you are skimping on one thing or another with the newer HD tablets that have replaced the HDX. Yeah it sucks that Amazon has basically killed the cheap but powerful HDX line for weaker specs all around. The Mediapad m5 will also support my FiiO E18 DAC/Amp for my Audio Technica ATH-m50x unlike the HDX which lacks OTG.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Quality replacement batteries are hard to find and more difficult to install due to copious use of glue during assembly. Good chance you'll crack the screen or damage other components while attempting to crack open the HDX case... assuming you can find a replacement battery that has not been sitting on the shelf (or extracted from a dead unit) for 4+ years.

Consider a permanent tether to an external battery of modest size/weight as an alternative. Works for some an a lot less expensive.

Unlocked HDX devices can run fully featured, stable Android 7 based ROMs. All HDX devices also support 2.4/5 GHz WiFi regardless of ROM. Obviously no external storage or SD card slot. Bluetooth remains problematic on non-KitKat based ROMs. MediaPad M5 is in a different league on various dimensions. I don't see a direct comparison between the two. Good luck on whatever path you choose.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Montisaquadeis:
Since the generic case I use with my tablets fits a range of sizes the different deminsions of the M5 aren't really a problem for me. Yeah I may be losing half an inch in screen size but thats not a problem for me. And as for the battery like I said trying to get a great new one is nearly impossible so yeah I am aware of that hence trying to find a replacement tablet and since android tablets aren't being created much any more particularly with specs I am personally looking for its been nearly impossible to find one for years. This is honestly the closest I have gotten yet.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
M5 caters to a narrow audience. If the specs, capabilities/limitations and price point meets your needs it may well be an ideal solution. For many a gently enjoyed HDX from an auction site is probably a better choice (especially for current/former HDX owners) in the limited high-end tablet segment. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Montisaquadeis:
I currently have the 16gb Apollo Wifi only and yeah the battery is my problem now. The belzeless sides/top bottom depending on oreintation doesn't bother me since its going straight into a case thats larger then it anywas. I mainly use it for emulation/reading via Coolreader since I have 6gb of books. So yeah the sd slot is a must for roms/isos for emulation for me. Needs to be able to use a MOGA Pro Power bluetooth controller as well as my FiiO E18 which the HDX does NOT do. UI isn't a problem for me any way. So yeah another HDX isn't really going to cut it since it lacks the sd slot for me. So yeah the M5 handles all that easily.\

Yeah I use my MOGA Pro Power with Moonlight since my desktop has an nvidia 970 in it. So 2.4ghz only is NOT something I want/need. So yeah having both 2.4 and 5ghz is nice for that use. I know both the HDX and M5 support it which is a great featur on the HDX but its just lacking in features for my needs.
