Woohoo - Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey everyone I have been trying lots of Roms an found a good one not on this site. It's called 'Mi Global ROM' from miui.euro or something? installed Roehsoft ram expander, ssd boost an Kernel toolkit with pro (the green one). Did a basic tune up turned up the ram in developer oprions an turned of annimations an refridgerated for 10mins. Got over 163000 in antutu an beat iPhone 7 an Samsung Galaxy S8. Fun benching. Hint: make the Ram disk by hand in your data section of internal disc an turn off when not using. Have fun benching folks :laugh:

Yeah, you already said that here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-2/development/rom-peeps-globerom-t3733517
Thanks for sharing, but please stop "spam"
A little clarification: the ROM "build" by this site "ROM Generator" is just a tweaked version of Xiaomi.EU base ROM, with some added MODs. Could be a nice entry-point for those newbies whom approaches Custom ROM world for the first time, but I wouldn't compare this ROM to ASOP/Lineage/RR.

That's right it is. It's just fun tweaking with it while we all wait for Oreo

That's right mate it is a tweaked miui/euro version. You cannot do these things very easily on China or international Miui. I'm running it today minus the software that freezes (the green one that fails to alter your status bar). I have found it generally better than LOS, AOSP and the other ROMS you mentioned. But that's a subjective assessment. I have not measured everything in tests.

Note : I'm just sharing the work of the XDA Member Jeeko.This mod was tested on rooted stock Android 4.1.2. It also could be used on some other roms and phones. ( I also used it on my motorola Atrix HD). This MOD makes my phone way more responsive and smooth than a lot roms. Now I have a smooth, nice, good battery LGOG!
You are welcome to use it on your rom after nandroid backup! Please read the whole thread!
Flash at your own risk!
I am using the stock version now ( for rooted stock rom only). For other rom you could use CM version. But please read the original thread first!
All version could be found here.

everything you've always wanted from a performance engine, but you never dared to ask
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
Here I am back with another mod of the Pure™Series.
After improving the system sound quality and graphics, it is time to improve Android. But be careful! This is not the usual performance engine which adds only script in the / init.d folder,
This time will be improved the android system at 360°! Basically this engine is a collection of concepts of all performance engine of the forum, that none of us will ever be able to install because many would conflict.
My testers were stunned by the power of this engine, but why not try it yourself? Are you ready to receive scary performances, to blow up the AnTuTu score counter?
Well, talk about serious stuff
◢ Features ◣
- Android performances improved at 360°
- Radically improved management ram on android (Lags...adios!)
- Script lightweight and revised to be adapted to this engine
- Improves a lot the graphics: of course Pure Graphic™HD, Pure Dithering Plus™ and... AOSPA 3.60 system tweaks
- Scan multimedia time drastically reduced
- Network Improvements, 3G experience even in 2G modality
- All SQlite database optimized
- Enable hardware features turned off by default for a better experience on entry level devices
- Greatly increases the score AnTuTu: Try it to believe it!!
- Reduces the startup time of Android
- A version for stock rom and one for CM, to squeeze any roms!
- Allows you to play ported games without lags
- Cleans the system every 24 hours, thecache every week and the Dalvik every month (cronos easter egg)
- Automatically Zipalign on each boot (sensitive to the user)
Battery
- Drastically decreased the drainage of battery
- Check the activities that consume too much battery stop them with PureWakelocks™
- When the phone is charging reduces system services for faster charging
- The battery is calibrated on every boot
- Disable animation of the system when the battery is nearly exhausted
- Improvements in build.prop as regards the part of consumption
Graphics, Screen, Images
- Enables a non-aggressive dithering to save CPU
- When you lock the device, the engine makes sure that the GPU is turned off
- Enables deep sleepalso in the bugged rom
- Parts of bravia engine
- Of course parts of CrossBreeder (credits to dev)
- Of course parts of Adrenaline Engine (credits to dev)
- Of course PureGraphics HD, even though I already told you
- Of course V6 supercharger
- Generates video entropy (like seeder)
CPU, Governors, I/O Schedulers
- Slightly improves the scaling of the frequencies (for better results you need a good kernel)
- Lightens the load on the CPU switching the workload to GPU rendering
- Enable the swap partition in Android (experimental)
I've said too much, man. Install this engine and discover its power!
◢ Compatibility ◣
This engine works on any devices with any rom, but there is a version for CM's rom and one for stock based firmwares. So, CMx.x, Lewa Os, MIUI, etc.
Install the stock version only on your stock firmware of your phone....
if your device don't have gingerbread or ICS officially, install the CM version (This also applies to the AOSP)
Wish i had balls to flash it on slimkat 1.95 4.4.2 haha if anybody tested it please post your reviews here i may give it a shot when i get home :highfive:
Thanks for sharing it laofan :good:

What I do is make a nandroid backup in twrp first, then flash the version for my rom. For you would be the cm version.
If anything goes wrong, you could always restore your backups.
For me, I found stock rom is faster then PA Rom. After flashing this mod, the stock Rom is at least as fast as PSX. ( I have two LGOGs for now to compare )

I am trying to collect some balls to flash this , since in past two weeks my phone has gone through 3 times LGNPST , 8 times ROM install and several nandroid restoration and backups.
I am on stock rom 4.1 JB , rooted and unlocked. I am using Android Tweaker pro. edition , it has similiar tweaks to this , like Bravia Engine , and Network tweaking , etc.
Would you suggest to try this over the Android Tweaker , becaue it seems tooo tempting to me. I will see if I can Backup the current rom again , and try this.
I also have to try the camera mod , too. Which I saw in Nexus 4 sections . Editing media_profiles.xml .
Will report tommorow , if things go allright.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW , I just want to confirm that there ae no scripts in this , which will force the hardware beyond it's normal /stock range , right ??

@Rishi. I know all that troubles in flashing roms. At the very beginning I also go through LGNPST several times. After all those effort, PSX and stock are my personal favorites.
For my device, the only mod for me is this PurePerformance Mod. I haven't try other mods yet. For now, I am happy with this mod in stock rom. I try playing games( temple run, minion run) and browsers ( dolphin browser) , this mod makes performance at least as good as PSX.
One suggestion is after you flash this rom, you might need to reboot several times to let system settled down itself. We all need time to get used to new stuff, so do phones.
I might try the Android Tweaker Mod later on. But could you link the camera mod please? I also want to try
We could just share all the mods that really boot performance and sharp the phone :highfive:

@laofan the link is broken.
NEver mind , I downloaded it using the main thread. Will be installing it today after nandroid backup completes.

Holy Sh!t.!!!! This made it times faster , my stock rom is running like as if some just pressed the Nitrox button.
Seriously , it's fast !!!!!!! No problems yet.

I just updated the link. Now should be OK.
This mod is really a killer! Enjoy it and you may try it on some other rom/device too
Oh man i wanna flash this on slimakat it become slow and non responsive lately.. you guys are tempting me i guess i will do it on new years eve haha
I am going to do various kinds of benchmarks and post the results on this new year's eve.
I like the stock ROM, but cannot handle the audio latency. Its almost a full second gap between screen and sound. Does this mod address audio latency?

@laofan ,I have taken several benchmark tests and have uploaded them here( in case if you want to include them in OP as a bench). Currently running this mod on stock jellybean with eco-mode and power saving turned off.
Linpack , Vellamo 2 HTML 5 , Vellamo Metal , Quadrant Standard , CPU Prime Benchmark , BenchMark Pi , AntuTu benchmark.
Let me know if someone wants me to test any other benchmarks using this , requests are welcome for those who are looking to try this.
Would appreciate if some one shares their result too.
I use Antutu and It always scores higher then Nexus 4.
What really matters here is I could hardly notice any lag. It just runs so smooth after this mod.
After so many rom flashing on different devices, I found that it is NOT true that the higher android version, the smoother of performance.
There are some roms( even just stock) that are just running so good even they are just lower android. I have two phone right now , Motorola Atrix HD and the LGOG, now both running stock or stock-optimized rom. And right now there is very few roms could compete with them.
For now I am hoping LGOG could get official 4.4 update. otherwise maybe I would wait a few more months to go back to PSX stable.

How much do you use to get on Antutu with your OG ? Mine as the pic says , challenges Xperia Z . Very close to it.!!
And yes , it runs very smooth indeed. But the device is already so fast that I just can't differentiate. :lol: , Krait S4 pro , Cores are really fast and furious , though a bit power hungry.
Generally the more optimized and stable a rom is the better results it'll have in user experience. I had experienced this phenomenon on my Motorola Atrix too.
And as far as Official 4.4 update goes , I hardly have any faith left in it. PS , I don't like 4.4 looks, I prefer JB's appearance. I would prefer a JB 4.3 rom with positive optimizations of 4.4 .

There is a thread in development section about stock rom, you could try flash that one.
If you don't like stock rom, this mod could also use in other roms. You need to use the CM version for other roms.
Let me know how things goes with you phone.
If you still could not fix it, maybe try contact ATT for a replacment as long as your phone is less than one year old

OOS based rom

Are there currently oxygen os based roms available, or are developers working on these particular rom?
I see a lot of ported roms and cm based roms. The devices I used to have, would usually have a custom stock rom available. In which the stock rom would be more smooth and efficient. I personally like oos, I don't notice any bugs etc. But if it could be even better and efficient, it would be great.
Anyone knows if this is a work in progress?
++ I would appreciate this too, instead of spending time on something that takes time and energy why not optimize an already good stable product? I have very basic knowledge about how to make/cook/modify android system so I dont think im able to start a project by my self but i can give my time and phone for tests ^_^
p.s. something like arhd for htc devices, they do very good job indeed
Hydrogen fitd the bill for most. Might as well take it and modify it for yourself. I don't see an Oxygen based ROM as its already pretty minimal
I hope someone develop an oos based rom too.... with full Layers theme support...

Yes indeed something like arhd or sensation rom and other sort optimized stock rom. @RJDTWO It isn't just minimalising and debloating by app removal. It's more something like stock root and busybox, deodexed, gpu rendering, zip aligned, ext4, init.d permissions, ram speed and mounting tweaks etc.
Perhaps I will work on it, with a bit of study and spare time
Somebody or Anybody ???
I just bought an OPX second-hand from selling my titan . Is there any rom based on stock like the TurboROM for titan by @Vidhanth ??
mOOS is based on OOS just do a search for it in the forums

Miui vs custom rom

Hello all good people
Just got my hands on Redmi note 4, cool device, but im not that into MIUI... but the device is working nicely, my concern is how stable and smooth are custom roms?
i see there are couple of popular ones, can you please tell me is there any real benefit using custom rom vs stock miui in battery life, performance.. and witch one is the most stable.
Thank you!

There are a lots of benefits of using custom ROM over stock one. Currently I'm using Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 on my rn4. It's fully stable. You can try it yourself.

For best stability bro, go forward non other than MIUI
Clearly, MIUI are made only for Mi phones, designed to be well..perfectly stable. Now others might against this lol.
Custom roms are stable too, yet miui are far more than that.
Honestly, I see no benefits using stock MIUI against stock rom (or vice versa).
They're just practically the same, only differ in some minimal undistinguishable matters.
Moreover, it the end, just a personal cup of tea.

bro i have tried ressurection remix, lineage os. Only benefit i see in using custom rom is slightly better performance than miui(and that also you will realise after playing very heavy games otherwise it is ignorable), in terms of features manual customisation is more in custom rom(most in ressurection remix)but I still very much prefer customisation through themes in miui(because i am an anime fan and are tons of attractive anime themes in chinese miui theme store). in terms of stability and battery life i didn't nltice much change(maybe slightly better bettery life in custom rom). But overall i greatly prefer miui because it has much more user friendly feachures than custom rom(which you will soon realise after using custom rom) and because of its attractive themes(mostly anime based).

It's really nice do read someone opinion based on experience with custom ROMs. I bet that battery performance on custom ROM with custom kernel should be better but in that case...
I'm currenty running beta MIUI 9 and I really enjoy system because I migrated from iOS and if there is no point to move to custom ROM I am fine with it.

I am using custom roms from a long time ,so i very much used to the looks of customs roms . Then I got mido and miui was the rom installed in that ,i didn't liked it as i felt it lacks the amount of customization and features i needed . I didnt even like the interface of miui and didn't even find it user - friendly ( its user friendly for many users ) . So definitely it was not perfect to me . And updates were very late ( all oems have this issue regarding pushing new updates ) so i moved to custom roms .
If you say what are the benefit for custom rom
1) regular updates
2) tons of customization
3) better memory management ( it can be achieved on miui using custom kernel too )
:silly: that's it from my side then . Thank you

By better management i mean the multi tasking part . Apps remains in memory . But miui is very aggressive when it comes to memory .
And why do you care for ram ? Free ram is a waste ram . You should care if you phone struggles with common apps . And you know right android is smart enough to handle this memory thing thank you
Custom roms can give you more space and possibilities

MIUI works really well, there's no denying that. I installed xiaomi eu rom a little while back and it worked really well, smooth fast and battery back seemed good. Despite all that, MIUI feels very claustrophobic when you try to navigate through the phone. Notifications are a mess. Everything seems to be crammed into that notification shade.
Needless to say, my sojourn did not last long.
Custom roms give you the freedom to choose from a variety of customisations to stock to barebones. They are light, fast and easy to work with. Only drawback is that sometimes things break in custom roms. You need to have the willingness to work around it when that happens. And there will be bugs, known and unknown both.
Battery life should not be a concern unless there is an unprecedentedly high drainage. People get unusually high SOT by limiting usage to WiFi only and staying on 2G. But in real world, with 2 Sims, 1 LTE and other 3G, 6-7 hrs SOT seems like a good bet.
Performance is at par for all. Stability may be here and there for some roms. The more customisations there are, more are the chances for things to break. You can use less customisation roms, my recommendation would be slim, mainstage os & aosp-caf. For customisations, you can pick any of the rest.
Personally I use from among the three, mainstage being the most favorite. My experience has been that idle drain is really low in slim and mainstage. Rest you will have to use them to pick your go-to roms.
And yes, camera is not the best feature of custom roms. :laugh:
Thank you all, great discussion yes miui 8 is pretty cool in its own way, but i think i will explore more stock like android experience and then miui 9

I think I should just add this point (whether it is a small or big point depends on your own perspective on your own privacy). The point is that one should be very careful about ROMs with embedded "dial home" features. Call me paranoid if you want, but, for me, this means that, for as long as there are good custom AOSP/LOS/CAF ROMs, MIUI is a non-starter.
For further information, read the "Skinny" threads on the Redmi Note 2 forums.
These devices are very competitively priced, and so are great buys - but the very first action should be to change the ROM from MIUI.
Miss those days when I was on the HTC Desire and @LeeDroid customized sense so much that it was perfect and very nice for those days.
I miss a good miui rom with stock notification icons and a working Google smartlock.
There are so much roms for mido but most of the roms is all of the same in performance and design.
We got now substratum but that is just layers not a redesign of some system apps. Like I mentioned before.
Why are there no more custom miui roms?
Is it not possible for developers to enable Google smart lock? Or change the statusbar stock notifications icons time right side?
What is the hold up here?
Yea we got xiaomi EU and few mods but nothing that spectacular.
BTW this is no offense to all those devs workings on mido I just asked myself and this is my first xiaomi phone and on HTC, Samsung roms they are modding the **** out of the stock roms.
TBH at the end of the day you will go and use stock ROM so am now out of flashing custom ROM it's now boring stuff! I rather prefer modified stock ROM like miglobe.com xiaomi.eu multirom.me and what ever and I would love to try paranoid ROM once it becomes official cause official has more features. And most important it has a OFFICIAL TAG which do matter. And taking about custom ROM all are same with a slight or little change in name and features every second nerd or geek wants to be a developer. Overall I can say that it depends upon your requirements to go or not to go. Personally if you hate miui I Mean the UI (I hate it too) than you should go with custom Rom and if you want something new and more scope of customisation. Else if you don't give a **** all you want is a phone for face book Twitter and Instagram and WhatsApp and pornhub.com then stock is for u
I have been using various custom roms on my phones for atleast 5 years. One the common hate items for custom ROM is the inferior battery backup when compared to stock ROM. My recent experience is on Asus Zenfone 2 Laser.
With custom Roms you get rid of MIUI.
Isn't that enough ??

This is precisely why I have looked in this thread... fyi... I never intended to use miui cloud service, it was only when I got a message stating 6gb of my personal photos had been upoloaded and that I needed more space!!! like wtf
so, yes I want all miui gone.. but I really like the second space, dont want to lose that, and like has been said, ignoring the miui bit it is a nice bit of software

New Rom peeps 'GlobeROM'

Hey here is a site somewhere in a European country that makes a fantastic ROM (beats LOS,RR,AOSP). My cell benched in antutu at over 163000. I am sharing the link. Its a site that has lots of useful tips. Just thought I would share
http://mi-globe.com
Hi
First of all this is not a new rom for our device if you just discovered it , no offense.
With all those tweaks that you made as you said in your second post here , i think it's normal that it can go so high. Also , keep in mind that benchmarks are not really relevant and from a score like that you can experience lags in games/apps you would've said they should work completely fine. It's all about the daily experience and how smooth the rom operates in tasks.
I'm glad i'm seeing such a great score on our device and with the miui smoothness increasing in the latest updates on the developer rom , i think it's awesome . A real flagship experience
I flash for it. Over miupro. Without wipes, not to reinstall all programs. More than 110,000 do not work in antutu.
can u please make a install guide?
and how's your gaming experience?
high frame rate, ultra settings without lag?
"they" didn't make it !
its a copy & paste from here : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-1-11.42918/
I gave up on it eventually lol. I do not know why there are so few ROMs for the Mi note 2. Gaming was average. I change my ROM about once to 5 times a week. Lack of Oreo I do not understand for this cell? LOS I am trying also AOSP slimrom an DotOS. I would love to try ViperOS or any form of Oreo?
For today I am trying hondajohn88 version of LOS

What ROM best matches my needs? [Redmi Note 3 Pro 2GB KENZO]

Hi,
I own a Redmi Note 3 pro Snapdragon (KENZO) (2GB RAM version) from 2 years ago. At the start I didn't need to use any custom ROM because the phone was fast enough to play games and use every app without lag problems, but on the last 7/8 months, my phone started to feel laggy when I watch some videos on Chrome or Facebook, or when I open webpages with many ads (I use Adaway and Adfree already).
The thing is, lately not only feels laggy, but it closes the app when I demand more resources to my phone, which didn't happen months ago, and I need to try open it again and search the content praying for not beging closed again, it makes me really upset. Right now I'm using Liquid Remix ROM, but I have tried 3 or 4 more ROMs before this one, and I have never found one that fits the low resources my phone has.
I think the problem is the RAM, because with every app in background closed, I don't reach the 400MB free of RAM, so I can't even play games without lag.
I would appreciate if you expert guys tell me about a ROM which has this aspect very developed, I know that there are not better ROMs than another, every ROM has its huge work behind and I don't pretend to infravalorate the work of any of them, but I really need a ROM which consume low recurses for working on idle, so I can use my phone without having this special problem.
Could you please help me?
I know Citrus-CAF was one of the best options for 2GB kenzo, but it hasn't been updated in like half a year, and it's still Android N, but if you have no luck with other ROMs might as well try that.
I have been using Nitrogen OS 8.1 for a couple of months now and I can say that it is worth flashing. The UI is buttery smooth, performance is decent (PUBG feels heavy though) and battery life is good.
I'll try NitrogenOS right now, I know that ROM is famous and I've never tried it for a long time. Thanks for your help brothers

Just look at this SS
For all the Kenzo 2gb ram users please read this. Who want stable miui 10 i suggest you install Official miui 10 8.8.16 developers ROM it's the best Miui ROM I have ever used so far .it's smooth and it's ram management is also awesome and with all the normal apps installed such as Facebook whatsapp and all. I can easily switch between 5-6 apps which is awesome for a Miui ROM.
I too was so much frustrated from changing ROM coz all Custom roms didn't have the look and customisation such as in Miui, but due to my 2gb ram almost every miui ROM was unstable for me.
After installing the ROM everything is in stock moreover.i haven't even rooted my phone then also I got upto 5:30 hrs Screen on time with 20% left my usage was full time 4G .I feel so blessed I found this ROM now I can have the awesome look of Miui along with full stability and ram management, I'm a regular XDA visitor but I never comment or reply , but for all the 2gb kenzo users this might be very helpfull.Sorry for my English if I spelled something wrong.
In sort Features of this ROM which I liked very much are
1) Best ram management ever I got on a Miui ROM (especially for 2gb ram user)
2) Very good Battery life ( Easily can reach upto 6hrs Sot with 4g , it's more than enough for my 2yrs old Kenzo)
3) Almost full stable even though it's a Developer ROM ( I didn't faced any issue till now)
4) Liquid smooth UI , no lag ever
Hope it Helps Someone..
By the way I'm on stock kernel and unrooted right now
I'm posting this on every Thread cuz I want everyone to know about it and fix there ram management.
