[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Yaelede:
First I used LOS, and as I mentioned I left it due to camera issues. Anyway, it would be OK, nothing fancy, but personally I prefer simplicity.

Then I tried ViperOS. I cannot say any bad about it, but ,well, maybe I'm too old to its UI..

So I flashed crDroid, and I stayed with it. Plenty of setting options, stable and quick. And working camera.. The only drawback is the old security patch.

I didn't try RR, I was too lazy. I should do a full wipe to install it, and usually it takes me a day or so to make all the necessary settings to get it work the way I like. However it has much newer security patch...though I don't really know how much it counts.

Good luck

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Azizb750:
Sadly you cant, cause his selinux is 28, while I have it as 30 in the new roms
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Iliyena:
There should not be the same need as with MIUI (apps/framework by Xiaomi) to do that. Just modify the parameters by yourself/running [MENTION=5952980]jajk[/MENTION] s (updated?) script at boot :)
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Nintendo Guy:
So, could someone please explain to me, because I'm lost, do the new LOS builds use the official kernel, and if so, what are the differences compared to Ghost kernel? Thanks
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] jajk:
[MENTION=5535456]رامز[/MENTION] There is not the same bloat and privacy concerns in the kernels/boot images that Azizb750 is providing compared to Xiaomi provided ones so a skinny version of these is not particularly required when used with one of the LOS14.1 based ROMs. I must point out that retro-installing the Ghost kernel on a MIUI ROM does not automatically get rid of the Xiaomi crap from the init files - it only replaces the kernel.

Also, as Azizb750 mentioned, you will loose the benefit of an enforcing SE Linux if you flash one of my earlier versions.
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] wgarnett:

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Assuming you're on latest crDroid (ghost kernel)

Install Kernel Aduitor (grab it from Play Store).

Run KA > tap 3 lnes (menu) > Wake > set Apply on boot > DoubleTap2Wake > toggle Half > reboot!

Warning:

Enable Dt2w drains battery faster!
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] rizkyraky09:
uh, there is no Wake menu in KA. thanks btw
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
If you used ghost kernel, then Wake should be there;

If you used stock kernel, download Ghost kernel > simply flash over current ROM > successful > wipe cache & dalvik > reboot.
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] vesdan:
Dt2w is on latest ROM in default setting and display, no need kernel adiutor

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] vetriolo:
How can you say "it has super battery" if you have flashed it right now?
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] wgarnett:
2018-09-13~ 2018-10 viper V.S. cm 12.1 3~4 versions ..... Usage Time (Minutes or Hours)

cm 12.1 need to use "Redmi Note 2 Tool" to downgrade CPU MHZ and decrease CPU Core , and then to save battery .....

but viper 2018-09 ~ 2018-10 version , I don't need to use Redmi Note 2 Tool to downgrade CPU MHZ or decrease CPU Core,.....

I have same usage time experience with "one need downgrade CPU MHZ roms and decrease CPU Core" and "one no need to downgrade CPU MHZ or decrease CPU Core" , so I think Viper 2018-09 ~ 2018-10 is better than CM 12.1 roms

p.s. I download these roms yesterday from here : https://github.com/TryHardDood/hermes-mirrors/releases

I'll flash upgrade to new version 2019-01-05 to try later ....

Hello guys,

I went back to LOS 20181027 from latest version because of problems with camera. And I want to ask all of you something.

Could someone tell me if it is possible pass Google device certification test with this version ( LOS 20181027 ) if I flash Ghost kernel and will change fingerprints according manual by xu3sno. Or could someone tell me if this is even possible?

Thanks for reply!

1. After root , I remove a lot of built-in apps , include camera .......

and then install simple camera app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.camera , because greenify free version only can shutdown user-installed app .... paid version would support built-in

2. until right now , I still not understand any about these kernels difference ..... so , I don't upgrade to newest version .....

3. thanks all developers to give lineageos 14 .... some versions are very good than cm 12.1
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Yes, as long as you have edited fingerprint device, your device will be certified, even you're using LOS 20181027.

You can flash custom kernel, and device fingerprint remain. Should it change, you can re-edit it.

Happy flashing and wish you luck!

Have a great day :cool:
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Grimoar:
So it is possible change device fingerprint even with kernel which is used in LOS 20181027 as stock? No necessary flashing Ghost kernel?
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Yes bro.

Please, try it out yourself. It's not harm :)

Follow my steps pages back, how to edit device's fingerprint.
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Grimoar:
Thanks mate. I thought that device certification depends on Ghost kernel. So it is possible with any kernel? That's useful information.

While LineageOS has newst security patch of August 5, 2018, but it failed to install OMS substratum theme (DNA Dark Project)!

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Well, not any kernel actually. At least Linux kernel version of 3.8.

AFAIK subjected LOS has stock kernel version > 3.8, you're safe to go.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Read this:

https://www.google.com/search?ie=UT...d-browser&q=custom+kernel+versus+stock+kernel

Why don't try it out yourself to install custom kernel (Ghost), compare it with stock kernel of 201810 and make your own judgement regarding cpu, battery and other features performances.

It's not harm bro! If you don't satisfied with Ghost performances, you're easily revert back to stock kernel by flashing boot image!

Idk much about kernels but now xiaomi released the kernel, what does it mean to the future development of this device? Can we modify it for more SOT ?
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] Yaelede:
I did always dirty flashing for all consecutive crDroid roms since v20181021, and on the surface it didn't do any harm. However I'm experiencing a significant slowdown, especially with Google apps as Gmail and Google search. It takes ages even to start these apps. Any body with the same experience? I'm wondering if a clean flash would solve it.
[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Here Gapps running just fine!

Try recovery > wipe cache & dalvik > reboot!

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

AFAIK devs will easier( relatively) to build custom rom based on official xiaomi's kernel with more bugless since they knew exactly to configure the HW as provided by the kernel.

There are also better possibility to build a new rom with higher Android version (Oreo).

By using kernel manager such Kernel Adiutor, principally more SOT can be achieved, through CPU settings, I/O sheduler, etc.

But IMHO, battery performances relies on many factors such battery aging, apps running in the background, user behavior, etc.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

2. Some bug in the versions of 01-25-19? I have read something from the camera but I do not know if it is like that, or there is someone else.

3. Of all the versions that exist, what would be the most recommendable?

[Redmi Note 2 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
3.2.3-0

https://dl.twrp.me/hermes/twrp-3.2.3-0-hermes.img.html

Bugs? Read OP. Regarding Camera, read my post right before yours.

If you prefer for vanilla (almost) one and newer security patch; LOS

If you like customizable, rich features ROM : crDroid (security patch july 5, 2018 -edited)

; RR (very old security patch), or Viper

All ROMs have SOT ca. 2-3hrs in average, depends on battery aging, number of installed apps, apps running on background, network, user behavior, etc.

I myself got 4hrs with new battery. Thanks to [MENTION=9051474]vesdan[/MENTION] for the tips!

PS

Do nandroid backup, prior to flash preferred ROM, just in case.

Make clean install (factory reset, wipe system)

Happy flashing and wish you luck!

There seems to be a problem when using a chromium-based browser.

When I scroll down and then up again, the top part of a page are loaded again.

(The components are loaded on the white background of the page.)

If you test the same on other phones, the top part of a page will pop up immediately without being reloaded.

Since I tested it immediately after installation, it is not a setting problem at all.

And all the roms had the same problem, and there was a problem with all chromium-based browsers.

Of course, it does not matter if I use the default browser, but I want to use a chromium-based browser with ad blocking.

I would really appreciate it if the developer could check and resolve this issue.

Very slow file transfer

From crDroid I have switched back to LOS yesterday, but my problem with very slow file transfer rate over USB remained unchanged. I know, Xiaomi always had this problem (it was always a pain to set the PC connection with the phone), but with my old stock rom I could achieve at least a relatively fast transfer rate (~5-15 MB/s). Now with these custom ROMs I can transfer files at approx 5-600kB/s..

I used Total Commander with ADB plugin (sometimes FTP) relatively easily. Now I have to set 'ADB over network' connection every time I want to transfer files...it would be OK, but this slowness drives me crazy.

Do you have any suggestion or some brilliant solution to this very old issue?
