Cyanogenmod questions - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm thinking about buying this phone but I don't like MIUI too much so I would use only CM or something other AOSP based.
So what's stability of CM or other custom roms compared to stock?
On many phones camera on custom roms is significantly worse than on stock. How is it on MI5? Worse, same, better? Is camera2 api working on CM?
Is someone working on CM14/14.1? I haven't seen CM14 branch on cyanogenmod github

It's better than miui, only camera quality a Little bit lower than miui but it doesnt Mean cm camera is worst. Stability? Yes, Performance? Yes, battery life? Yes. Also multitasking is working Great on cm13

Can you recommend combination of ROM-Kernel-Advance settings? I tried offical CM rom and custom kernel but soft button doesn't work and that was not without bugs and stable using.

You can use app called fingerprint Quick action, search it on Xda, and soft touch the home Buton should work. Now I'm using cm13 latest nightly with falcon kernel to overclock my 32gb to be same speed as 64gb

Those aren't good apps at all for me. For some reason my fingerprint isn't as accurate and snappy with that app installed. It also fails to unlock more often than the stock CM13 fingerprint software

Stock rom or cm7

Hi I'm currently running topogigis rom but was wondering if there was any real advantages or disadvantages if i moved to cm7?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
I like CM7 best. I have found one stable one for me and it got all I need. Its snappy and fast and drains little battery. Topogigi is really good too but I just like cm7 so damn much.

stable release is nothing else than a nightlybuild considered stable, but outdated at the moment, since it´s over 2 weeks old and a lot of new commits are in the new nightlies ...

strange problem ... i guess nobody knows whats causing this only for some people ...
Ok installed the latest nightly just a couple of quirks
Camera video performance is really poor must only be recording at 10 fps
SD card write is very slow 5mbps and they are mounted the wrong way
no voodoo sound overclocking what's the best kernal to try?
Also the apps icon is missing in the dock how can I put it back?

I'm sad no one showed any miui love. I tried cm7 and got tired of trying to keep up with nightlies and different versions with its own set of problems. I tried to change kernel and got bsod and so on.
Then I learned about miui with tweak pack thats in this forum. Pure awesomeness. Even the setup is so easy.
1) backup your current setup for safety
2) rom manager go to miui.us and get latest version and wipe all data and cache and install it
3) boot into miui once at least then reboot into recovery
4) in recovery flash the tweak zip file and reboot your phone and your done
You have a badass kernel with tweaks added on miui and it is smoooooth like silk. I personally like miui because it has built in apps for file manager and network monitor and all those basic things that you expect a phone to have now, I hate having to download third party apps for basic things and they come with ads and look nothing like the phones interface. With miui now I have a phone that I can show my friends and it looks nothing like an iphone or an android. Its the best of everything. Not just good looks but inside its tweaked to perfection and proper battery usage along with overclock. No need for setcpu and those battery apps.
Hows the camera on miui as I use the camcorder alot with the kids so unless I can get the camcorder functioning correctly ill probably go back to topogigi

Im currently using the "semi-official 2.3.4" rom from jboxer, which is stock based taken from another LG phone with the same hardware as the G2x. and it works perfectly, faster than stock 2.3.3..
only issues i have is the camera, stock android camera on G2x is no where near as good as the stock LG 2.2 cam. you can flash the LG cam V3 that is floating around, but then you compromise the functionality of the FFC, and that really takes a toll on the gtalk video chatting (which is the main benefit of using any 2.3.4 rom.
GPS locks on really fast too (big plus)
hope this helps you with your decision making
I would like to prove many rooms, but I use FM radio a lot, so for now, I cannot move from TOPOGIGI room

I replaced the camera in miui with the cm7 one with the fancy high bitrate and stuff. There's a tweak pack where forum user higsy has posted the camera from cm7 that you can use to replace the miui camera

does this tweak pack work on any Rom? specifically the jboxer semi-officail 2.3.4 one?
if so can you provide a link, I cant seem to find it, did a search but had no luck

This tweak pack is only for miui and includes a kernel. You need miui + tweak pack and thats it.
The kernel on its own is called swiftextreme and that might work with other rom's I am not sure you have to post on that thread to get reply for the guys who make it.

[Q] Best ICS rom - Daily use

Hi guys. I am currently using temasek's CM7 build 128, which I really enjoy. (awesome speed, awesome battery, looks cool)
However, I was wondering: is there an ICS rom good enough to use it daily? Even with the hardware acceleration -and other- bugs?
Every thread I search the information is messed up, it is impossible to know if the rom is useable or not. Although I really love testing new roms, I don't have all this time avaiable.
Any sugestions?
Hi,
Try owain CM9.

Owains Domination CM9 (he freshly released Build80). Smooth and quickly. Got nearly no RRs now.
Have fun.
What is the better kernel for this rom?
MIUI v4 by hariel graphics and speed with harsh power 3.0 kernel.

Im using Nova with Horsepower kernel. I have not reflashed it since June 1st and it is still smooth as hell.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
I tried NovaHD and it is really smooth, indeed.
However, apart from the bugs, I noticed 2 things that pissed me off:
1) the battery is warming up fast and stays hot for a long time. I reach 32~34 degrees within 15 minutes of moderate use. (I don't play games)
2) the multitasking feels quite heavy. I no longer can alternate between 3~4 apps instantly, as I could in CM7.
Is it normal from ICS, or will it be fixed when LG/Nvidia release the correct drivers?
thank you for your answers

@cool.guy,
if you haven't tried it yet, give tonyp's PARANOIDANDROID a try as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762494
I either use it or Owain's Domination for my daily use and very happy with both.
Good luck!
Paranoidandroid is also good, like owain's.
However, as I said, nothing compares to cm7. The interface feels much more responsive and light. Running CM9 I can feel the phone using all of its resources and still can't get a decent multitasking.
One of the two senteces below is necessarily true:
1) ICS is too heavy for 512Mb phones; or
2) The lack of hardware acceleration drivers makes the ICS a heavy system.
Agreed?

Why do you believe that? ICS has proven to be a more hardware demander system than GB.
It happened with my old Milestone 1: great phone, but lacked on ram just like optimus. (Considering the launch time).
Result: I had to stay on CM6 if I wanted a decent multitasking. The milestone simply couldn't handle the GB, due to the 256mb ram. So I stayed on froyo and was happy that way.
It seems to be the same situation between GB and ICS.
Please tell me if I am wrong.
Hugs.

Tested Nova, Domination and Paranoidandroid with different kernels and I like Paranoidandroid the most.
I'll leave it as my standard ROM unless something awful will happen, which I'm sure will not : D

tested Nova HD and Paranoid, both is nice and pretty.
1. Nova HD -- Highly customize, can custome your kernel, ril, and Gapp installation, and specially it had LG Optimus UI 3.0
2. Paranoid -- Hybrid system, can exchange your UI to Phone or Tablet and customize each App on the UI mode and DPI
(PS: i like both but i m using Paranoid now)

I'm using Nova HD w/ Nova Kernel Pure Edition right now. With Ramhack (64mb) and autokilling task manager (at turning of the screen) it's freakin slick and runs smooth like a baby ass.
What are the pros/cons, forcing you to use Paranoid instead of Nova HD?
I'm testing the Owain94 rom (domination) with Harsh kernel 2107. I like it, but I have problem with scrolling in some apps. When I use the Dolphin browser and I turn the screen, the app freeze.

Do you really get the decent multitasking as in cm7? After 1 week of using paranoid, I got used to the not-so-good multitask.
When I flashed CM7 back it was like " WTF my phone is flying! I can open the facebook, browser, whatsapp and music player at the same time!"
Do the test. Try cm7 and compares.

Usually, the only difference is that they're built by different people. They might have small little local changes, but all in all your not really missing out on flashing on over the other.

Thanks man, i tried it and only difference seems to be the theme, rest looks the same. I have troubles with the inbuilt torch in both cases though. It doesnt want to shut down and keeps turning on.

Vanir - Android 7.1.2
vanir_mako_7.1.071917.zip
First Vanir with Android 7, which finally managed to run me.
This ROM uses the kernel lineage.
In addition, it is very underdeveloped, because it does not work properly debugging, so you can not connect through adb and install applications.
There is also no possibility of a normal apk installation (message: Package installer has stopped).
I checked and I can confirm that the navigation buttons work very well in Vanir ROM, for Nexus 4 with an inactive touch pad at the bottom of the screen.
I can add a ROM to the compatibility list.

Thank you for your attention. My opinion was premature.
I installed ROM again (the same file without re-downloading) and adb works normally.
Installation through
Settings -> Storage -> Explore
also works as it should.
Probably the first installation was damaged.
Unfortunately, I have to retract my opinion regarding the operation of navigation buttons on the inactive bottom of the touch screen.
Previously I tested on my second N4, where the inactive touch screen I have in the middle of the screen.

I've tried DH on stock and CM (without changing kernel) and it's totally fine for me when the phone is cool.
The problem is WHEN THE PHONE IS COOL! put an ice bag to the back of the phone should solve the throttle.
jk, I have a small netbook fan and put the phone on it every time I play game
Another point to consider is check if you set the GPC frequency to too low, I use the setting: CPU 1000MHz x4, GPU 225MHz

Some custom kernels (e.g. werewolf) allow the phone to operate properly at higher temperatures (i think sth. about 80°C, LG standard is about 70°C).

I know, but it will kinda not good for the battery, the skin temp default is 43 but kernel starts to throttle at 40, werewolf kernel push it to 50 (as far as I remember). anw, it still produce a lot of heat and might potentially throttle again. Raising the alarm threshold is not a cure, just make the phone not throttle easily. Ice bag is better

Most likely you will have to be on KitKat. For lollipop, you need to make changes to the script

Notifications are on lockscreen with this update ? Thx
Hmm wonder if it works to place the updater script from the fixed 3.8.2 version that can be flashed on Lollipop on this one and then flash. Probably not but I would have no idea. Might try it.
edit: yes successfully flashed and booted on Lollipop bootloader by changing the updater script. If anyone wants it I have attached the updater-script file to the post. Just replace the file in "META-INF/COM/GOOGLE/ANDROID/" with the one in the zip.
Just flashed it and it seems awesome. Note you need to flash gapps as well

Quite stable. Haven't had any bugs to report
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I`m not so impressed with this release personally. The home button does not work sometimes, some icons (for example google + and photos) are the same and when I change the dpi(cause the UI looks to big for our screens) to 400 the back icon on the navigation bar is alot bigger than home and recents app. But I know it`s in Beta state and alot of bugs could be fixed.
But the Deal-braker for me is the buggy home-button that does not work everytime.
It's quite buggy I would say. I have also encountered the home button that does not work. Also the recent button did this to me at one boot. Often the lockscreen does not work and have to reboot. This boot the statusbar can not be pulled down. I can't set system wallpapers on homescreen properly they stretch outside the screen. Seems full of small bugs so I'll happily go back to the 3.8.2 version for the time being.
Also it's a shame they made the navbar white. I really hate it when it's white. And the ROM does not feel as smooth as the other version I used. Tapatalk is choppy as hell in 4.1 where it was very smooth in 3.8.
edit: about the home button not working, I've noticed it works badly when it's set to turn off the screen when holding it. If you have that feature enabled you really have to tap it Quickly to make it work. Turning off that feature and it's working as it should again.

For the icons, turn off flyme icons. Not sure about your home button. Mine is fine

I`ve flashed the rom several times cause of the gapps issue and during each test I had the issue that the home button sometimes doesn`t work or after the 2nd or 3rd press. I didn`t have the issue on any other rom here on xda and clean flashed 4.4 via fastboot before I wiped the partitions and flashed FlymeOS4.
So from my side I couldn`t recommend the rom during this state as a daily driver.

Me either. I've ran into a handful of small bugs in just about an hour. It was a fun test drive though.
However there are some things I prefer from the older version like the vertically scrollable homepages in the lancher and the expanded statusbar that ended with the notifications that gave it a unique look and it felt like you sort of don't leave the app you're in. I also liked the scrolling better in the older version. It had less "friction" and felt smoother (which it also is). And the shortcuts in recents on 3.8 they have removed that in 4.1 unfortunately.
When the bugs has been squashed and the ROM fine tuned it could be awesome but for now I'll pass I enjoy the older stable one as it is now.
Ok, Thanks for your answers
Also, this rom doesn't support 4g
