MoKee 10 fixes battery drain issue on clover WiFI-only models - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Guides, News, & Discussion

PSA for @Wizballs and any other miPad 4 owners of the WiFI-only model...
Most of us have probably been looking for a ROM that is actively and officially developed that doesn't have the bug where it looks for the non-existing SIM card and drains the battery during standby. I'm happy to report that MoKee appears to use a different base than most ROMS for clover that are based on LineageOS, and MoKee 10 for clover seems to work really well. I left my device in Airplane mode for 7 hours, and the battery percentage was exactly the same as I left it. Finally!

A few other observations and first impressions:
I hate the tacky cartoonish boot animation, but the com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations app works fine to change it after rooting with Magisk.
For the initial setup screen the default option is Chinese, but just scroll down until you see your language, it appears to support all the usual ones.
I didn't install GApps, but somehow it still has the official Gboard keyboard with swipe enabled out of the box.
For some reason on my first install it didn't have a camera app. Then I wiped it and reflashed it and now it has a camera (org.mokee.snap). I honestly don't understand how it could be different from one flash to another, but at any rate it appears to be quite a nice camera with lots of configurable options and a working panoramic mode, which is rare in AOSP based ROMs.
The default gallery app is also good, SimpleMobileTools Simple Gallery Pro, which is my preferred open source gallery app. Some ROMs preinstall Simple Gallery, but it's not the pro version and it's much more limited, and it conflicts with the Pro version when you try to install it over top of it. MoKee does it right from the start.
Lots of configurability in the settings, including an option to control the cursor with the volume keys and on the bottom bar, which I find extremely useful. Only missing option is putting the date on the status bar next to the clock.
Working notification LED, unlike ArrowOS.
So this has been a great find. I'll report back if I find anything else. Thanks a lot to the devs if any see this thread.

Nice find and PSA
I just had a quick read about Mokee, and it appears to be a legit rom.
- From what I've read, playstore is installable
- States open source, get a tick for that
- Any chance you've run a quick virus/malware scan?
- I can see a few 'experimental' builds for 11.0, I'll keep an eye on that progress..
Cheers

Hi there, no I haven't run any malware scans, I don't have much faith in the antivirus/anti-malware sort of programs due to the false positives and FUD that they seem to depend on. I can give it a shot though if you know of any trustworthy ones.
Yes, the Play Store should be installable, they have normal Gapps packages that they recommend at the downloads page. I prefer to run with MicroG instead and I use the Aurora store. A small disadvantage is that MoKee doesn't support signature spoofing out of the box (needed for MicroG), but with Magisk and NanoDroid I got it working.
I also saw the 11.0 builds, maybe we should try to post over on their forum to let them know that there are some very interested and determined clover owners still out there.

The only scanner I really use is ESET for windows, and new android roms and then uninstall after scanning. I've never got a false positive from it.
But I'm downloading Mokee now to give it a try...

So far so good. I'll leave it sit now for 24 hours and report back on standby battery use. And yes I think posting a thanks in their forums is a good idea. And will just be a thanks as there are no real issues to report! Actually is a very well finished and working ROM.
Couple or more points:
- Mokee recommended gapps (opengapps) just wouldn't install - error code 64
- Nikgapps installed and ran perfectly fine however. lol.
- USB debugging turned on by default, some users like me will want to turn this off
- Does appear to be a lineageos base, but only a guess
- Can actually turn off double tap to wake. Arrow stayed on regardless of setting. Wonder if this will help standby battery marginally? I have flip case that turns screen on, works with this rom
- ESET scan 100% clean
- Disabled a few of useless apps (like I do with every ROM, without root) using:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 package.name
- Nutflix not available directly from Playstore. Not a problem, install using SAI
- Encryption turned on by default (great!)
- Lately I'm finding that built in launchers are giving me the best stability / performance in any ROMS . Always used nova in the past.
- Turned off that status bar upload/download speed doobie. Personal preference.
- Appears to have OTA updater, will give a spin next update
Overall, awesome so far
Good find @sb56637

@Wizballs Great, and I'm glad it scanned clean too.

Yep, although there are a few quirks here. First is that they limit the download speed to about 250 KB/s for non-donators, fair enough. But the bigger issue is that it downloads it to the internal storage (obviously), which MoKee automatically encrypts, so normal TWRP can't see it and it can't be installed. They supposedly have a MoKee flavor of TWRP that works with the encryption. I briefly tried to download it, but it was a Baidu site in Chinese that offered me Linux packages (DEB or RPM), which didn't make sense, so I stopped there. But I'll look into it more again and report back.

Fair enough, will stick to manual updates then. Would prefer to keep stock twrp.
Approx 2.5% battery over 24 hours standby. Very good.

I decided to switch to the MoKee flavor of TWRP, linked here in a more accessible location:

With that flashed, OTA updates work well. (Plus it allows for manipulating /system and /data from the TWRP file manager, which is very useful sometimes. Plus, it allows for flashing other scripts like Magisk from TWRP, which adds an addon.d hook to allow it to survive upgrades.)

Quick post to note that in later Android versions (from A10+?) the default launcher is always in charge of displaying recents, so it can't/shouldn't be uninstalled -- this may explain stability issues...

I never uninstalled the default browser, just left it there while using nova...

Look at that battery saving. Worldwide could account to millions dollars saved each year

Can you share the Mokee recovery via a different link? That link doesn't work and the one on Mokee's website points to Baidu, which seems to require a Baidu account to download. I can't create a Baidu account though, since it requires you to use a China mobile number to register.
UPDATE:
NVM, found the link via another XDA thread. Here it is:
TWRP-20200628-3.3.1.0-clover.img
drive.google.com

This ROM is missing face unlock, which isn't a big deal considering that the battery life is a big improvement over the last ROM I was using, but still would be nice to have...

[ROM][CM9-Kang] h0tsauce "9" 20120817 *reborn*

h0tsauce "9"
Latest release: 9.20120817
CyanogenMod 9 + custom kernel + extras + latest fixes
This is a Kang of latest CyanogenMod 9 repo, 100% built from source, with patches applied, and a custom kernel. Patches I include are typically un-merged submissions or features that have been rejected from CM, AOSP and Codeaurora.
The builds I post are my "daily driver". I only post updates when source code changes are beneficial to our platform, add functionality, or fix usability bugs.
Sources

Cyanogenmod Github
Changes
Refer to TXT files of related build
Installation
I personally recommend using Team Win Recovery Project instead of Clockwork Recovery Mod for installing ROM's. It integrates very well with Goo Manager.
1. Download latest release from goo.im or use Goo Manager.
2. Reboot into recovery (TWRP preferred.)
3. Format Cache & Clear Dalvik.
4. Flash zip downloaded in step #1. If you're NOT coming from a CM9 based rom or upgrading, you must "Factory Reset" (format data and cache partitions 3x).
6. Install Google Apps downloaded in step #1.
7. Format Cache & Wipe Dalvik, yes... again.
8. Reboot
If things seem to be weird, repeat the steps again.
Problems / Support
I do not provide support through this forum, only release announcements. I am happy to investigate issues but they must be submitted to the github project.
Let's give this a try
OK, moving my initial impressions from second page as it answers some questions. Overall everyone's impressions appear to be great.
Also running now. I loaded it on top of Perfection rom.
Wow, the ICS unlocker has camera and unlock feature and no old-style unlocker in the other half of screen (that's fresh, though this is how it was intended to be).
Getting used to this rom.
First impressions - running smoothly.
Seems like no playstore installed so need to understand how to access playstore (trying the web though download didn't seem to start) to get titanium backup. Also trying to see how to access filesystem.
Edit - just need to load gapps from first post - seems like it's a must, not a nice to have.
Some observations - haptic feedback doesn't work on some buttons which appears random. Also no backlight on the capacitive buttons though they work fine.
Edit - found ability to enable capacitive buttons backlight in Settings -> Advanced->Sensors, though that keeps backlight on whenecer screen is active. And lockscreen customizations are impressive.
Also interestingly I noticed in terminal emulator that SD folder lacks external sd card.
Edit - connected through USB cable. Dalvik works fine, can view files in file browser. Interesting. internal sdcard is mounted in mnt/emmc while external sdcard is mnt/sdcard. Also windows recognizes to removable drives when the phone is connected but those are not accessible. Again, need to read up on basic CM9 functionality.
Overall very smooth, no FC so far.
I'm looking to see feedback from those who may be familiar with CM9 from using other phones (this is totally new to me).
Another thing (not exactly related but what can make initial setup a lot simpler) that I need to read more about is the way to get apps stored externally as done in Hybrid rom if I'm not mistaken) - that way the apps get ported to whatever rom you install. I need to understand how that works.
And yes, setting DPI to 213 enables tablet UI, as already mentioned. Now I see why capacitive buttons are not backlit. Though in tablet mode the dock disappears. Thinking of trying go launcher but not sure if trebuchet-integrated settings items will work well with that change or will become redundant.
Also as mentioned already the camera preview is messed up though rotating camera helps(fixed now).
You need to download s-note apk as that is not included. Though at this moment apk doesn't install.
Another thing to get used to is the speed indicator (H instead of 4g for instance). Also dsmitty reported that black crush is gone.
Yup downloading now slowly but surely, will leave feedback in this post after flash
ill keep adding to this as i find things.
works:
both cards mount to pc
sound
camera *you get artifacts on screen but picture is fine in tablet mode*
camcorder 1080p works. *same artifacts as camera in tablet mode*
theme chooser
tablet mode *160dpi*
doesnt work:
havent found anything yet.

Yep, I was surprised at the size also. But then again it includes zero bloat and no google apps (which are +50 mb for just gmail, play store and talk).
** FYI: No real S-pen support yet. I was just playing around with the pen... on man is it sensitive. I can pull it about 1/4 inch off the screen and still use it.

Instagram might work in different dpi
Still testing

DL link and Thoughts on Miui 4.1 for the HTC Evo 4g LTE

Miui 4.1 has been released for our device and has a currently stable (minus the initial F/C on JB roms, already widely known)
Miui is a wonderful rom that attempts to be as original as possible, and as customizable as possible, The dialer, music app, gallery app, messaging app, settings, Root Access Manager, virus scanner, firewall, Settings, ringtones, notifications, status bar, launcher, lockscreen, icons, Rounded screen, wallpapers, themes, weather app, notes app, (blah blah blah, much more) are all SPECIFIC to the Miui rom, and are different, and feel original, and completely separate from the plain roms we normally see (Sense, ICS, JB, PA <--->.>) Which all use the same launchers, with slight modifications. The Miui rom feels unique to all others, and really made me want something new, and it delivered, by giving me EVERYTHING new.
...I cant give you a download location...to prevent spam... >.> jesus you people are crazy
http :// forums .miui .us /showthread.php?25313-ROM-Jellybean-10-26-2012-MIUI-us-v4-1-for-Evo-4G-LTE-aka-Jewel<-Forum Location
Please before downloading, read what I posted on the forum, otherwise, you will have a terrible first impression of this rom.
-If you do not wish to read, skip to the end of this post-
-Copied Post- -I am the original owner of this post, giving me right to copy information from one forum to another-
I want to post this in order to explain to people some problems/issues with this rom. I was very excited to receive it on my phone however there were issues on the latest version that I must point out for people looking to download this, and I hope this is seen by those of you who are also experiencing this issue which you no doubt are if you are using the latest (or any in the month of November) version.
ALL of the November versions of this rom have a flaw so before you continue reading, the last working version of miui is the 10/26/2012.3 version, any versions after this version have the flaw that you will be made aware of before you view this message.
The latest 11/26/2012 version of this rom has the following errors that will complicate REGULAR phone use.
-Browser: The Miui Browser on this rom will F/C (force close) upon touch after the initial bookmarks screen.
-to elaborate further, If you go to any website in the browser, and then attempt to touch any part of the website, the browser will F/C.
-Browser Based Loading Apps: Any app that attempts to open a website to have you view information from it will also F/C upon touch.
-Permissions Manager: The part of the permissions manager that asks for root access is broken, and will cause permissions manager to constantly F/C.
-This breaks the Miui toolbox app and the themes app, they will not function on the latest version of this rom.
-The hardware menu button is not available in the latest version of miui, unable to change wallpaper without using themes application.
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-This will prevent you from using ANY market available android browser on the phone, and the Miui browser.
-This will prevent you from using the Miui toolbox, and most miui themes.
-This will prevent you from using a large number of apps that require internet access.
-This will prevent you from using any available Root Access Required Application.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
The Previous Versions of this rom (uploaded in November) have the following issues that will complicate REGULAR phone usage.
-The browser will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user on a normal website.
-Any application requiring direct website access will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user.
-There are no Permission Manager issues with the previous November releases of this rom.
-No way to toggle menu button, no way to access menu
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-No way to access the internet via ANY market available browser, or the Miui Browser.
-A large number of apps that require internet usage will no longer work on this device.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
Latest working version of Miui: 10/26/2012.3
-.3 must be specified, as the versions released before .3 have a random constant soft-reboot issue at start of OS. (you generally will not make it to set up email before this begins)
-the .3 version of the 10/26/2012 rom has none of the previously listed issues in this post.
-However I must specify, that although I have not done testing to fix this issue, GPS does not seem to be working on this version of the rom.
I want to apologize to the OP, and or Dev. if this came off as Insulting, or offensive in any way. I know that making this must be difficult and I in no way mean to offend. I absolutely love this rom in every way, As I always will and have been a fan of MiUi. The thought of it being close to working on my device is incredible, and I do want to thank you very much for bringing this opportunity to me.
That being said, Changing the OP to include a (I must assume) untested (since the start of November) version of this rom is disappointing. I have gone through and proved, atleast to myself, That this is not user error, if you have any information proving otherwise, or any information at all on how to fix the latest version of your rom I would greatly appreciate it. I want to inform you that this post is an attempt to support your rom, while there may be a section of these forums to post errors that are found, the unknowing people who visit this forum will very likely download the latest version of this rom, claim it unusable, and not check for a working version. The next step is a rumor is spread, keeping people from attempting the rom, and the last step is the motivation deprivation caused will cease development of this rom, which I sincerely do not wish to see happen, as based soley on the 10.26.2012 rom I have become a fan of this project.
Please continue the great work you have done to provide Miui to the Htc Evo 4g Lte or HTC Jewel users of this world. And I hope to hear back from you promptly
-Copied Post-
-if you skipped-
The latest stable version of this rom is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, the version listed on the OP (11/26/2012 release) has many issues that will greatly complicate regular phone usage, and cannot be accepted as a stable release, nor a daily driver. To explain shortly...
Broken versions of this rom: (any in November are not currently working correctly)
-No Browser from the market, or the Default will work.
-Root access is broken, Cannot grant root access to any app, even system apps.
-No menu, no way to toggle menu.
-incorrect theming
-constant Permissions manager F/C
---
the 2.10.26.3 release of this rom has working browser, and working root access, already set menu button, working themes and no F/C's other than the initial one at first boot.
I would like to state again, the 2.10.26.3 release of this rom is stable, and fully functional to my knowledge. Gps, remains untested for now, I will update this thread with information relating to its functionality at a later date, the direct download link for this rom is

Wrote down as I was going, if anyone would like me to test something for them that isn't in the list of 55 things I tested feel free to ask. I don't mind as I am actively trying to find issues with this rom as there seems to be some back and fourth conversation over it. Im running out of things to think to test, so any ideas im open to try.
Yeah, Check out the Start of the Link
The link has spaces to prevent it from being a link, put it back together and copy into url for the Forum location of this rom.
This entire, Long, thought-out, time consuming post relied on you being able to view that link, without that ability, I would not be able to post this, long, thought-out, and time-consuming post, that contained valuable information to obtain Miui on your Htc Evo 4g Lte, and to help the regular development of this rom continue, while giving a spark back to the evo that while many roms may have been tested, all felt the same, which was a little bit of a let down for you, as it was to me.
I want to quickly state that I mean no offence to the developers of all other roms for the htc evo 4g lte as I have tried them all and have some that I love, and some that I have mixed feelings for. I am simply putting this information out there so this rom also has the ability to develop as well as yours has, as I am sure even you can admit, that the Miui rom is a rom that is greatly desired for this phone. All of your roms had their different features, different mods, different mod packages, updaters, even for one, it had its own app installer, and Battery usage customization to improve battery life (venom). I am simply posting this for those out there, who have tried every rom out there, and still seek something to fall in love with.
Thank you very much for viewing this post, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Wow..
Thanks for the write up. I do miss MIUI and development has been excruciatingly slow, tho I know hard work is being put in.
I won't give up stable, fully functional roms for it right now, but I do hope it progresses into a daily before this phone becomes to outdated. I have my doubts because I hear rumblings of how difficult it is to bring MIUI to some of these phones these days, which is unfortunate.
Cheers

Yeah, what do you want me to say. There hasn't been a stable, daily driver miui.us build for the Evo LTE, yet. I have flashed just about all of them. Posted multiple logcats. If i remember right there were a couple of us who were getting a LOS on the October builds.

this is a good build, i have been running it since it dropped, with no major issues.

I want to thank you for viewing my post, and especially for replying to it quickly. I would like to state that everything I have found other than gps (which is currently untested) and the initial (only at start) F/C that the 10/26/2012.3 version of this rom is currently fully operational, and I am using it as a daily as I to love Miui and was excited to try miui 4.1. The only Miui feature that, that specific version, of the rom is currently lacking, is the Miui Camera. Otherwise, the 10.26.2012.3 release of this rom is fully functional and to the extent of my knowledge, usable as a daily driver, as long as you are ok with the initial F/C at boot that most JB roms have been experiencing.
To download this specific version of the rom, you may find the exact download link to the 10.26.2012.3 release of it here
http:// goo .im /devs/miui/jewel
just take away the spaces. I am of course in no way attempting to force you to try the rom, this is entirely your decision of course. Simply stating that this release of the rom, to my knowledge, is stable, and working for me currently as a daily driver. I will update the OP with information in regards to GPS soon.
Thank you for viewing my post.

the 2.10.19 build of this rom may be currently functional, I however am one to be closer to the latest stable and functional update, which is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, to my knowledge, I do not see anything wrong with this version of the rom, and the link to all downloads for this rom have been posted.
Thank you for viewing my post, and replying promptly. I did not get far enough to thoroughly test the 10.19 version of the rom, as while backtracking the 10.26 version was the one that worked correctly for me, and I have not gone backwards from there, the download link for the 10.26 version of this rom has been posted, and if you would like to see if any improvements were made since that version be my guest.
If you do so, please let me know of any changes you may notice from 10.19 to 10.26.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
Thank you for replying to my post.

I would like to thank you for replying to my post, and I would like to state that I am currently using the 2.10.26.3 release of the originally posted rom as a daily driver, and have found no real issues with it at this time. If you have any issues that I may not have noticed I would definitely like to hear them. I haven't had anything not work for me yet, other than the general JB download speed slowdown, that is currently experienced on every rom currently supporting JB, and GPS detecting my location slower than sense (which can also be said about every other JB rom)
As of right now I am happy with the ROM and thought that I had conveyed that the rom was functional in my OP. Any information related to errors you have noticed or heard of that I may be able to test and attempt fixing personally I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you very much for the edit on your post. It was much more informative than "yeah"
Important Information Removal From Miui.us Site.
I would like to inform you that my original post on the Miui.us rom's forum has been removed. I attempted in this post to convey that posting a non working version of the rom as the first clickable download link was not the right action to get people to try this rom if they wanted to and receive a good experience.
To be clear, and to re-state.
The 2.10.26.3 version of this rom from what I can see, has no errors other than ones that have already been noted as JB errors for this device. such as the initial F/C that goes away after clicking on it twice and generally does not pop back up. Slower GPS point locating which is known to be a JB error for this device, it will still locate you, just not as quickly. and a Slower overall download speed, which can also be tied to JB for this device.
As far as the rom goes, excluding the normal JB errors, the 2.10.26.3 version of this rom, from what I can tell, is fully functional, and the download link is listed in OP.
any of the November releases or 2.11.anything currently have errors that jeopardize regular phone usage. Such as a non functional browser, and a non functional Root Access Manager (Which is like SuperSU and Super user, but MiUi specific, also not the exact name)
I am simply making sure that this information is conveyed, as this IMHO is the latest, daily, usable, stable, functional, version of this rom.
Thank you again, and I apologize for having to make my point, so many times.
Fyi, you can open the permissions manager and manually give apps root access. It's just the initial request for root that will break it. It's in the tools folder in the launcher. As well, someone posted instructions for remapping the menu key on both the miui.us thread and we figured it out on the other miui thread on here.

Thank you for replying to my post. Did you happen to fix the browser F/C's, With every browser? cause im a tad more interested in that. For root, I also looked at doing something like that, but I don't know why I would when the 2.10.26.3 release already had that working.. im unsure what was so necessary that they had to break their root app. Im unsure about the menu key, but if its already in settings Im fairly certain there was no option to remap to menu, cause I tried that. if its in the toolbox however, it wasn't working cause my root app wasn't working (of course I could have constantly re-installed the rom, and then manually gave root permissions to the toolbox app (which is a downgrade from normal android) After re-assigning the recent apps to menu, but that is too much of a hassle to go through on a freaking smart phone , and I sure as hell don't want to mess with something that broken to get it to work, when the 2.10.26.3 version didn't have this issue. If it wasn't in the toolbox and I had to manually go in and edit something to get the menu remapped, then again I must state, why not just go with the 2.10.26.3 version of the rom. I am totally at a loss here, what was so broken in 2.10.26.3 that required breaking the working rom to fix? I have everything working fine on my rom without having to do anything to get it there. Do I need to make another post to see what people were having a problem with? if I do please inform me promptly. The ability to browse the internet via a browser, is one of the main reasons people first get a smart phone. If that's broken, What did I get a smartphone to do? play some games? there are other things for that, that are portable and have better games. I know that the Miui.us rom that I want, isn't a broken rom that was worse than its previous release a month ago.
Please if you could be so kind as to tell me what you thought was wrong with the 2.10.26.3 release I would very much like to hear it. Im not being sarcastic, I seriously want to know. Why break what isn't broken to fix it?
I stand by my original point made in the OP, the 2.10.26.3 release wasn't broken, so don't download a broken release. If you are looking to get this wrong, don't settle for less than perfect, by downloading a rom that is made for you to fix it, when the dev could have fixed it himself.
Thank you very much, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Miui 4.1 has been released for our device and has a currently stable (minus the initial F/C on JB roms, already widely known)
Miui is a wonderful rom that attempts to be as original as possible, and as customizable as possible, The dialer, music app, gallery app, messaging app, settings, Root Access Manager, virus scanner, firewall, Settings, ringtones, notifications, status bar, launcher, lockscreen, icons, Rounded screen, wallpapers, themes, weather app, notes app, (blah blah blah, much more) are all SPECIFIC to the Miui rom, and are different, and feel original, and completely separate from the plain roms we normally see (Sense, ICS, JB, PA <--->.>) Which all use the same launchers, with slight modifications. The Miui rom feels unique to all others, and really made me want something new, and it delivered, by giving me EVERYTHING new.

Please before downloading, read what I posted on the forum, otherwise, you will have a terrible first impression of this rom.
-If you do not wish to read, skip to the end of this post-
-Copied Post- -I am the original owner of this post, giving me right to copy information from one forum to another-
I want to post this in order to explain to people some problems/issues with this rom. I was very excited to receive it on my phone however there were issues on the latest version that I must point out for people looking to download this, and I hope this is seen by those of you who are also experiencing this issue which you no doubt are if you are using the latest (or any in the month of November) version.
ALL of the November versions of this rom have a flaw so before you continue reading, the last working version of miui is the 10/26/2012.3 version, any versions after this version have the flaw that you will be made aware of before you view this message.
The latest 11/26/2012 version of this rom has the following errors that will complicate REGULAR phone use.
-Browser: The Miui Browser on this rom will F/C (force close) upon touch after the initial bookmarks screen.
-to elaborate further, If you go to any website in the browser, and then attempt to touch any part of the website, the browser will F/C.
-Browser Based Loading Apps: Any app that attempts to open a website to have you view information from it will also F/C upon touch.
-Permissions Manager: The part of the permissions manager that asks for root access is broken, and will cause permissions manager to constantly F/C.
-This breaks the Miui toolbox app and the themes app, they will not function on the latest version of this rom.
-The hardware menu button is not available in the latest version of miui, unable to change wallpaper without using themes application.
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-This will prevent you from using ANY market available android browser on the phone, and the Miui browser.
-This will prevent you from using the Miui toolbox, and most miui themes.
-This will prevent you from using a large number of apps that require internet access.
-This will prevent you from using any available Root Access Required Application.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
The Previous Versions of this rom (uploaded in November) have the following issues that will complicate REGULAR phone usage.
-The browser will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user on a normal website.
-Any application requiring direct website access will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user.
-There are no Permission Manager issues with the previous November releases of this rom.
-No way to toggle menu button, no way to access menu
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-No way to access the internet via ANY market available browser, or the Miui Browser.
-A large number of apps that require internet usage will no longer work on this device.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
Latest working version of Miui: 10/26/2012.3
-.3 must be specified, as the versions released before .3 have a random constant soft-reboot issue at start of OS. (you generally will not make it to set up email before this begins)
-the .3 version of the 10/26/2012 rom has none of the previously listed issues in this post.
-However I must specify, that although I have not done testing to fix this issue, GPS does not seem to be working on this version of the rom.
I want to apologize to the OP, and or Dev. if this came off as Insulting, or offensive in any way. I know that making this must be difficult and I in no way mean to offend. I absolutely love this rom in every way, As I always will and have been a fan of MiUi. The thought of it being close to working on my device is incredible, and I do want to thank you very much for bringing this opportunity to me.
That being said, Changing the OP to include a (I must assume) untested (since the start of November) version of this rom is disappointing. I have gone through and proved, atleast to myself, That this is not user error, if you have any information proving otherwise, or any information at all on how to fix the latest version of your rom I would greatly appreciate it. I want to inform you that this post is an attempt to support your rom, while there may be a section of these forums to post errors that are found, the unknowing people who visit this forum will very likely download the latest version of this rom, claim it unusable, and not check for a working version. The next step is a rumor is spread, keeping people from attempting the rom, and the last step is the motivation deprivation caused will cease development of this rom, which I sincerely do not wish to see happen, as based soley on the 10.26.2012 rom I have become a fan of this project.
Please continue the great work you have done to provide Miui to the Htc Evo 4g Lte or HTC Jewel users of this world. And I hope to hear back from you promptly
-Copied Post-
-if you skipped-
The latest stable version of this rom is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, the version listed on the OP (11/26/2012 release) has many issues that will greatly complicate regular phone usage, and cannot be accepted as a stable release, nor a daily driver. To explain shortly...
Broken versions of this rom: (any in November are not currently working correctly)
-No Browser from the market, or the Default will work.
-Root access is broken, Cannot grant root access to any app, even system apps.
-No menu, no way to toggle menu.
-incorrect theming
-constant Permissions manager F/C
---
the 2.10.26.3 release of this rom has working browser, and working root access, already set menu button, working themes and no F/C's other than the initial one at first boot.
I would like to state again, the 2.10.26.3 release of this rom is stable, and fully functional to my knowledge. Gps, remains untested for now, I will update this thread with information relating to its functionality at a later date, the direct download link for this rom is

Very interesting as I was about to post something about the lens edition of the lens Miui before checking on my OP. Thank you for bringing that up as I am just about to uninstall the lens version of this rom, and re-install the miui.us 2.10.26.3 version of the rom in the OP. The Lens rom is gaining progress fast, and I would urge everyone to check it out, but it is currently much less stable than the version of Miui.us listed in the OP, even with its latest 2.11.30 update, so if you are looking for a daily driver, then the one I am looking it is the one currently listed in OP, HOWEVER, I will be switching back to the Lens Miui rom when they get the thing a bit more stable because I honestly trust the developer to do so in a short amount of time.
I will be updating my OP shortly.
I apologize.
I was looking at my OP and I realized it was a tad too long to continue to add a long definition of the current LENS Miui Release. I will be posting anew.

Looking for a lightweight/fast ROM!

Hello dear community!
First of all: This is not the usual "What is the best ROM" thread. Its something different:
I have tried to compare a lot of ROMs from the XDA-Forum, and there are many awesome ROMs here. Unfortunately, I have yet to finde one which suits my special needs. Those needs are actually pretty simple (I guess )
The ROM should be VERY lightweight, not any Bloatware on it and only background processes which are really really necessary should run.
I do NOT need any visual or style improvements. It can be a VERY simple ROM, I don't care for any animation, color-customization or awesome theme. Also, I do not need any neat features.
I don't care about the battery life of my phone, but the thing is, that it should run as fast as possible with this ROM - thats why no background processes, bloatware or awesome looks which might slow things down. Fast and simple.
THANK YOU in advance for any suggestions.
Kind regards
"best rom" threads are not allowed on xda. I could recommend one that you might find totally garbage so there is no point.
Your choice, your problem.
Beamed in by telepathy.
This is not the usual "Give me the best ROM" Thread. I am looking for something pretty specific I guess. Like I said in my first post here: I am looking for a VERY lightweight ROM, which does not include and additional Apps or Bloatware - just the simplest things: a Browser, Clock + Alarm, Camera, Dialing-App, Contacts-App, Messages App (and this is basically it).
Kind regards
Try a CM ROM with pico gapps.
I tried many roms from this place so I can say that the most speed is Archidroid - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
Anyway, I use Crdroid v 2.1 with elite boeffla kernel and I did not install gapps. I prefer to install apps myself. Google play service take some ram but when i will install important for me apps i do not open this again. I use NovaLauncher on desktop and NowBrowser as browser. I have 478 mb used on desktop but I use many widgets, omniswitch, lmt but phone is speed as wind I use monochromacy style from developer settings.

I tried CM 14 (the latest Nightly), and it was quite nice! However, I wanted to try out new stuff, and I found out that ROMs can be quite a bit more faster - as I have seen in ArchiDroid. But there is that issue with the Boot-Loop which forced me to move away. Right now I am on Hyper Rom, and it seems to work quite nice, lets see if performs well or gets slow very fast.

I tried many roms from this place so I can say that the most speed is Archidroid - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
Anyway, I use Crdroid v 2.1 with elite boeffla kernel and I did not install gapps. I prefer to install apps myself. Google play service take some ram but when i will install important for me apps i do not open this again. I use NovaLauncher on desktop and NowBrowser as browser. I have 478 mb used on desktop but I use many widgets, omniswitch, lmt but phone is speed as wind I use monochromacy style from developer settings.

I tried ArchiDroid for about a week. It was the fastest ROM so far, but unfortunately it gets stuck in a Boot Loop if I restart or Power Up the Phone. I always had to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache to get it working again (and booting up lasts more then 15 minutes in that case, since it has to check all apps).
I might try Crdoid. Right now I am on Hyper Rom however. Lets see how this performs. THANK YOU for the suggestions!
Guys, if you find any other Rom which might be very lightweight and fast (and possibly without any major Bugs like ArchiDroid in my case), it would be GREATLY appreciated! )
Kind regards

DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your watch as a result of installing custom roms and/or kernels. you do so at your own risk and take the responsibility upon yourself.

Version 0.1
7.1.2_r5-WebWear-2.0.1_01
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120723803
The first release is WebWear 7.1.2_r5-WebWear-2.0.1_01 Alpha!
And here the installation instructions:
Before setup:
The boot will take about 10-40 minutes.. it will compile the java code with dex2oat because of limited space on the watch.
After the compilation it will begin the setup, because of screen timeout screen can turn black.... if you don't see the bootlogo touch the screen to show the setup.
In setup:
The setup/update task takes a long time, in the background google service get installed and updated.
When setting up a google account (copy accounts) you have to do this step multiple times until it finishes successfully, most times it takes me 3 times.... Google will update the services in the background... and finally the account copy function will work... don't skip this step because the initial watch setup is done in this step...
If something goes wrong during setup, first try a reboot and otherwise factory reset and repeat the steps.
After setup:
Screen can turn black again, touch to wake...
Give the watch a little time to boot... for apps menu touch the screen to wake and if it's awakw click the crown button.
Installing is simple!
Download the zip and extract.
Factory reset your watch
If you have adb (enabled developer options or recovery mode), you can reboot into bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader"
Reboot into bootloader, and fastboot flash the images
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
"fastboot flash system system.img"
Optionally factory reset can be done when in bootloader
"fastboot erase userdata"
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot -w" (Erases userdata and cache (and format if supported by partition type)).
and "fastboot reboot" to reboot
I've added a log sender which sends debug logs for development purposes, this could contain your mail address... it also contains serial number of your watch but nothing to worry about.
Logs will be sent every hour and are from the last hour... it will cost around 20mb of data a day but it helps me a lot in developing this rom.

Will you release a/an alpha/beta/final?
interesting stuff, but can you show us more information about it?
like how you get it to work, or is it complied from source of android wear? (as i know it's close source)
thanks.
Just AMAZING! No more words
Hi, i've tried a lot of things, and am still working on it.... building from scratch now... The Huawei Watch has specs close to the Zenwatch 2, so a lot of resources from the rom can be used on our watch, so i did combine some own source and Huawei binaries to build a new system... but as the round display UI is coded in the system's core i need to build a system from scratch.
So my plan is to get an AOSP build running on the watch, and remove the rounding code.... then i'll see what needs to be done to make a square display work.. maybe the wear apps will automatically detect or maybe i need to use some apps from the android emulator... i don't know yet how i need to make everything work... but after all these hours i want to make this working, even if Google releases the source early this could be a start of an independent rom with own optimizations...

Yes i will, but there's a lot of time going in the project... i'm still figuring out the best approach...
I want to have a square watch to be able to use it, so i'm going to compile from scratch... i've examined the code of the Huawei Watch and i still think it's doable, once the watch is running a bare minimum android i can start making adjustments... but compiling everything takes a lot of time.... i'm learning and developing... so i think everything should go fast now and a first alpha release would be released this week.

Can't wait!
Glad to see this and good luck. Great work so far.
Just a little update, i've combined sources and binaries from firmware and now have a square watch setup (took some stuff from the android emulator image)... it's still in early stage... i cannot pair yet... but i think this will be fixed soon.
Just got my Zenwatch! exiting stuff for sure!
Ok,
A lot of things changed! i've got a watch running now with anroid wear 2.0... it crashes a lot so it;s not stable enough to release yet... but i've got an account linked and Bluetooth/Wireless/Square display/Vibration are working... only things left are stability, sound and power button behaviour... Notifications also work... this version is based on the latest Android version (7.1.2)

Wow cool! Any news for the rom? @DaanNL
I'm just testing the rom and fixing things until it's able to install without a pc... i have to change some things by hand now before everything installs... and i want to deliver a rom without any extra steps needed. I hope i can push it out today but i'm not sure...

Just a quick question, are you working on this project alone or with a group of people?

[mod] [Google's_ram_booster] [hammerhead]

I present you a flashable zip for Google's low ram booster. I flashed it over my current N ROM. Plainly, it works. My hammerhead felt like a near flagship again!
Downside; superduperglitchy
No system crashes. FC a couple gaps, some navbar issues. Not, however, unusable.
I tried flashing over my current ROM, flashing at different points during new ROM install, with and with without reboot to recovery at different points during install. With and without custom kernels.
... All to no avail.
So, I entrust my discovery (I hesitate to call it that) to my beloved Dev community.
Happy flashing.
All credit to those applicable as mentioned in the link provided.
https://googleweblight.com/i?grqid=...-android-device-android-go-optimised-version/
So, basically, add ro.config.low_ram=true to build.prop.

Found this too;
"This will affect the multi-users disabled, Flat recent/multitasking UI, high-end graphics disabled,
multi-windows disabled, less recent apps cache, minor notification icons changes, no apps notifications access/zen access / VR listeners/picture in picture (PIP) accesses, less logger buffer sizes (devs)."
On;
https://www.tricksfolks.com/turn-android-device-android-go-optimised-version/
Explains the gapps FC.
I checked the script, it just adds that to build.prop.
What that does effectively, that's another story.
Source 1: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/perf/low-ram
This setting has existed since kitkat, back then it was a few tweaks to low ram devices, but since Android 8.1, it's also called Android Go.
I'd read that too.
IMO aside from the battery life being so short, I've been finding more and more that ram is becoming an issue too. Be it by limitation or resource drain, CPU and by proxy battery. I don't see much anymore done in the way of zram or its still implemented and I'm missing it altogether.
At the moment I'm kicking out ideas.
I'm just gonna leave this here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-swap-torpedo-run-faster-reliably-t3766883
Not sure why, but the link jumps to an off topic thread. ?
Did find it though! Thank you!
Deleted additional rambling.
I didn't have issues with FC until I flashed the ram booster.
Edit
Looks like the link was pulled and the git was closed. Anyone have the swap torpedo module?
Found this researching on Google.
Using some of the buildprops now and its had the most impact above all else I've tried.
