Hi,
I just set up all of that ROM developing stuff (like cygwin and kitchen). Afterwards I need a "clean" ROM as a base.
Which ROM can I use? I wanted to grab a the V30 repack from Nooby0815, but there aren't any apps/media/etc inside.
Is there a "clean" ROM on the board here? Because I really don't want to steal other developer's work...
Thank you
I think tantrums' deodexed stock roms would be great to start with, they are "clean", have all original apps, and plus fully stable (as they are stock) Just ask him permission before you do anything.
ok good idea
sorry for doublepost...
I have another question: To include apps from Play Store like a better Calculator, can I use this tool? I wonder if I could, because of the device ID

After browsing through most the mods, hacks and updates.....I have know idea which Custom ROM works the best and had a few ideas....
at first i wanted to run these mods....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
then I visited the ROM page and felt like all of them were good upgrades from the stock wing...
so heres my question....If i want to get a ROM do they come with the mods in the link above meaning I'm good
I realize the risk of flashing, should I do it on my refurbished (factory) phone?
And which ROM is the sleekest and stable of all of them
thanks for looking

well.. to cook your own ROM, there are some utils and post... use the SEARCH button and the correct words to get your task done
- You can flash your device safe, but you have to read advices to avoid bricked devices (for example, you cant flash anything in a 1.xx.xxxx device)
- stable and sleek ROM, you'll have to try by yourself
Hello, i have a question that i wana ask from long time.
How i can edit ROM by Edit ROM i mean to get one ROM and to use it for base but to edit some functions etc and make it like i wana be.
And to be clear for example i like alot one ENERGY ROM that all is fine with her and she work super, also is enought fast and im using and this is cool for everyday use, but i think that this ROM can be even more faster,stable and etc by editing the ROM with my teste, i don`t wana change so many things just to remove from the ROM App`s that i don`t use and i never will use, also the taskbar icons to be like i wana to be and to coock in that ROM and the Rilphone and the Drivers im using to be coocked in the ROM, on the final if i clear some of the programs that i dont use and will not use in future will have one super ROM and will save from the main Memory witch is better for the whole device.
So can anyone explain me how i can do this? do here have a soft like this to edit a ROM and can i read some info about this?!
Im asking you because i don`t wana coock ROM just to make litle cosmetig changes by my teste and clear some unuseful apps
Thanks
I don't think it's possible the way u wish.
You will have to dump the flashed ROM and to make your wished changes in the kitchen. Then cook your new ROM and flash that one.
But ... most Custom ROMs are protected so when you dump it and include it in your kitchen you wouldn't be able to customize it.
I don't know what about the ROM you mentioned ... but I assume it will be so.
good luck and best regards
fwt
Ok i understand is not very easy to do this BUT the question also
How can i remove/uninstall Applications that are coocked in the ROM.
Because in the ROM that im using have alot apps that i will never use in the future and i don`t need them, so is better to remove them and save some phone memory etc..
Of anyone know how to do that please let me know
Hi bit of a beginners questions but how do a port an application from one rom to another.
A am currently running MicroMod's 2.5 Rom but the FM radio isn't as good as the one on Cyanogen so I thought I would install it on Micromods rom.
This is what I tried, open up the nighlty build of NC rom, went to system/apps and copied the fm.apk to my sdcard. Then I installed it using Astro in Micromods but when I try to use it I get force closes.
I suspect it different or missing ddls files but unsure were to look to find this out.
Any ideas
Im pretty sure the fm.apk is linked to the CM6 framework so it would only work on CM6 atm...
I would also like to know the best way to do try to do this in general. Ive always wanted to put the browser from cm into an enom rom but the same thing happens as op said and it just fc's. If I were to use root explorer or 7zip to unzip the apk is there a specific place to look to see what other files need to be where in order for the apk to function properly?
it's pretty complicated which is why people tend to avoid it. You basically need to copy the right sections of Cyanogen's framework code into MicroMod's framework.. and since I believe MicroMod's ROM is based on HTC, that would involve some disassembly (look into smali/baksmali), but that would require some knowledge of assembly language.
It's a LOT of work, and a lot of testing (and swearing.. haha). Hate to discourage you.. but if anyone knows of a better (and more feasible) way I would love to hear it
I honestly doubt it's possible. CyanogenMod uses the MIUI method for the FM radio, which is most likely completely different than HTC's proprietary method. Kwazi is right though, it lies deep within the framework.
Hello,
I had some SOD with zeus 4.02 so I installed Kernel_4.4.3_eabi but now it's worst, so how can I return to Zeus's kernel.
Should I install v4.02b_int or v4.02b_int_up ?
Do I need wipe ?
Thanks, and sorry for my english
PS: the Nova's kernel V11 look great does it compatible or better ?
The problem is, if you install v4.02b_int, you will automatically get a FULL wipe!
And the other one, just applies this here:
v4.02:
- Added the possibility to select ascending/constant ringtone through zeus script (big thanks to TugaSoulHunter)
So either you grab the full ROM, take the boot.img out, modify the updater-script and flash it, or you simply install the ROM again, or even better will be, to install one of Huexxx new test ROMs, since those seem to be bugfree
Ok full wipe
Ok so I make a full wipe in each case
Thank you
Install stock kernel (its under eabi) and wait couple of days for new Zeus.

is the V5 and the v5.01(update) new rom versions?
I have the ROM Zeus 4.0.2b and i dont have any kind of bug.... Should i install that? (v5)
But if i only want a new kernel, what do you suggest?

My uncle once told me: NEVER touch a running system.
So in other words, as long as you dont have problems with your device, why would you wanna change ANYTHING? for the kick of flashing new stuff?
v5 is a new version, Huexxx started to cook from scratch again. Idk on which version it is built, but you had to do a full-wipe again, in order to install it. Is that worth it to you? Especially, you wont even know, if the new kernel is ANY better than the one you are using right now... It' s up to you mate, but I wouldnt change a thing
And for extrcting the kernel of a ROM, you ll need dsixda's Android Kitchen and quite a lot of knowledge, but you can do it, cause there are a lot of guides out there, how to do it Then you need to figure out, how to install a new kernel. Therefore grab a Kernel from the first post, extract it, look at the commands in updater-script, refine them for your kernel, repack everything, sign it and flash it to your phone. That's how easy it is
Oh I think you can also simply take the boot.img, replace the one in Huexxx first post with the updated one (from V5 or 5.1), sign the .zip file and flash it. Even easier
AND DONT BLAME ME FOR SCREWING YOUR PHONE!!! It's not my problem, if you dont know what you are doing/what you have to do
Hello everyone,
I have been seduced by the Mi5 and got one. Even I work in IT, I have never flashed a phone and actually didn't plan to do it when I bought the Mi5. I read that the original Chinese ROM had English in it.
So I was happy to just use this ROM in English and that's it (I'm not picky in term of UI).
But I had several bad surprised when I received it:
- many things are still in Chinese
- several applications, even if they are in English, present/search Chinese results (actually I should have thought about it earlier)
- I installed Google Play but some services keep on failing and several apps won't install or update
As a result, I'm finding myself having to flash the phone with a custom ROM in order to get something correct.
As explained in the title I would like to have some advises on which ROMs would be the easiest and most stable to have? I'm not looking the for most fancy or classy ROM. I just want something that would be stable, run smoothly GApps and popular apps (Facebook, WhatsApp, etc...) and works with the most vital/used features of the phone (Wifi, Bluetooth, finger-print, camera, etc...). I have seen threads about several ROMs (Cyanogen, Xiaomi.eu, Resurrection Remix, Official Global Multi, etc...) but don't know which one would suit me best.
Finally, I have done my homework before posting this message, and read how to flash a ROM (especially on the xda-university). Here are the general required steps I have noted:
Enter in USB debug mode
Install a custom recovery app? (I've seen you can flash them too?)
Download you customer ROM into the SDcard
Use the custom recovery to backup your phone (I actually don't need to backup since my phone is empty)
Install the rom by selecting the zip in the root of the SDcard
That said I have seen several other methods and terms on various threads talking about specific stages or the process.
People are "rooting" the phone. Is that necessary for what I want to do? I guess so.
People are are using "flashboot". I read it's another way to flash? What is best for the Mi5?
Please don't hesitate to redirect me to some guides/tutorials if there some fundamentals I have missed.
Thanks! :good:
U also need to look into unlocking the bootloader.
U need to to google ur ****

Hi,
I would recommend xiaomi.eu's rom : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-6-30.32496/
It's fully translated, stable, includes the Google apps. I've tested a lot of roms, first on a Mi4c then on my Mi5.
If you're going for a MIUI rom (and not a CyanogenMod based one), this is the best in my opinion.
The roms comes in 2 versions : the stable (no root and updated every month or so) and the weekly one (with root and updated every week).
Installation is super easy, you just need to unlock the bootloader of your Mi5 first : http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Thanks for these helpful comments!
So would you say that Xiaomi.eu ROM is more stable than the CyanogenMod ROM? And it's more stable than the official MIUI Global ROM?
In terms of things not working at all, have Xiaomi.eu and CyanogenMod ROMs everything supported/working? That's what I worried about. I would be happy to flash a custom ROM but I would like to make sure it has most of the phone features working correctly (finger-print, bluetooth, wifi, GPS, camera, etc...).

CynaogenMod is, indeed, a bit less stable because it's a port and the kernel sources haven't been published yet by xiaomi so no optimisation on this side.
But CM is the way to go if you prefer android stock over MIUI's implementation.
Xiaomi.eu's rom are as stable as official ones but richer in features and optimized (see the list on the rom download page) and with much less bloatware. They remove a lot of Chinese specific apps from and make their rom Google apps compatible out of the box.
And yes, everything works correctly, especially if you install the stable version (the weekly is more prone to bugs because it's updated all the time).
At the end of the day, I would say it's the EU/US version of MIUI. If tomorrow Xiaomi want to sell their products in the western part of the world, this is probably the kind of rom they will put on their devices.

Thanks a lot for these advises. It sounds like Xiaomi.eu is what I'm looking for!
I'm glad if I could help. Let us know if this rom fits you
I too would recommend the xiaomi eu Rom. The cm one works well but if you want to use android pay it has to be the xiaomi one.

Thanks for this info - i have only tried the global roms and to be honest - they bug me !
CM - as awesome as it is...still has its little bugs and annoyances.
Hopefully this is the way forward !
