[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] -+BB+-:
1 - Could you please explain what stability issues you encountered? Regarding performance I've already explained what's causing this behaviour (especially on 3Gb variants) and why is not fixable. Every new Android version require more CPU power and RAM than the previous version, we are simply running out of specs, that's all, there is a good reason if I am forced to compile a LOS 20 ROM with my branches only to see if some changes are really working in a "real world" and not only in benchmarks

2 - I lose less than 3% in 5 hrs during the night with everything active connected to a wifi network, with a deep sleep near to 98%, don't think it's possible to reduce the power usage in PE 13. On LOS 20 battery usage with screen off is slightly better, but it's expected as they are running only the essential services

3 - I cannot reproduce that behaviour with YT app or watching videos from Chrome, Gallery or VLC, even after 30 minutes with the phone in thermal throttling state

4 - The issue with GCAM is that you should read the first post before flashing a ROM:

Also, camera runs with all CPU cores at 100%, what do you expect in a situation when your device is using all its resources? The highest possible battery usage, it's the same on basically all Android ROMs in latest 7 years. And GCAM have an awesome photo quality but it's huge, I understand that someone may prefer a lighter camera app, that's why the ROM allow users to disable GCAM without breaking anything and install another camera app as default

5 - I've experienced that issue too when opening some web page from Google section in PE launcher, had to go back and reopen the page, but happens with both PE and LOS and on all my devices. Not sure if it's a Chrome/Google App bug or some wrong Ad/popup implementation in web sites (I can easily reproduce that only on few web sites), but it's definitely unrelated to ROM/dt (I' ve also checked that touch input are properly registered from logs and I haven't found anything abnormal)

6 - WiFi configuration is exactly the same xNombre was using in his Android 10/11 ROM and qcacld-2.0 driver in kernel is the same crappy QCOM driver used by everyone else with 4.4 kernel. Personally in 7 years of custom ROMs on gemini I experienced more or less the exact same behaviour I have on PE13/LOS20

Yes, LOS performs much more better than PE on 3Gb variants, in particular way with a light GApps package

Could you please elaborate your request? I'm sorry but I used MIUI only a few hours in my life so I don't know what dual speaker feature is

PS: please do not spam the thread with consecutive messages, use the edit button

1 - Did you check dmesg and logcat? If kernel or userspace decide to limit charge there must be a good reason (also it's working fine here with a Rampow cable and an unofficial charger or my power bank)

2 - I cannot reproduce that:

As I wrote some days ago LOS builds are only for my testing purposes, no problem to share if someone else wants to use them, but I do not accept bug reports on a testing ROM, especially if you decided to change some kernel/memory management settings (but i must say that I've used that ROM for at least 10 days and I never had a single battery issue). Try to check with "top" in an adb root shell what's keeping phone awake or use an abnormal amount of CPU

Flash the zip as an update with sideload or using an USB OTG. I've tried latest recovery I uploaded days ago and it's working fine with my USB OTG adapter

NOTE: updated kernel for both PE and LOS, both kernels include all the changes I will release in next monthly update. Also removed 3 commits from my previous test kernel as they were causing more troubles than benefits
