    [4.4] Google Play Edition [Aries]

    Just installed. My first impression so far is that while it's not quite as smooth as MIUI, everything seems to be working. I'm using WIUI as my daily driver and have this running on TDB, so will need to test for a few days to see how they compare to each other. I'm curious to see if auto...

    I'd managed something similar earlier this year with 30 hrs uptime and almost 8 hrs on screen time: https://plus.google.com/104242241965716988815/posts/HbwTWnmGHeh Swyped from my Mi2S

    It's true. I get amazing battery life with WIUI on the Mi2, but on average, 1 hour less on screen time with the Mi2S. It hasn't bothered me as I still get up to 5 hrs on screen time with the extended 3120 mAh battery, but I sure miss getting the 6+ hrs I regularly achieved with the Mi2. Swyped...

    I haven't tried your rom yet, but wanted to give thanks for your work and I'm looking forward to testing it out soon. I've been following along, reading through the thread, and am happy to hear you've made such great progress! Swyped from my Mi2S

    This was what I was getting on average with wajk's silky smooth WIUI. 32GB Mi2 with 3120 mAh extended battery on normal performance, 75-80% brightness, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS on all the time. On power saving mode, I was getting at least 7-8 hours on screen time and could have potentially reached 12...

    Replacement screens!!!

    Anyone have a clue how much force needs to be applied to pry the two halves of the phone apart once the screws are removed? I feel like I'm going to break the phone if I pull any harder. Edited: N/m, got it off ;D

    Yeah, I just read about the aperture thing earlier and someone else pointed it out as well. It's a shame because I would say the Mi2 performs better in low light than even the HTC One. Swyped from my Mi2S

    Mi2 vs Mi2S Night Mode

    Yes, I coincidentally read about that earlier tonight. Thanks for pointing it out. Swyped from my Mi2S

    Mi2 vs Mi2S Night Mode

    Go to the stock MIUI camera app > settings > turn off simple mode. Go back into settings once you've switched over and locate Night Mode as indicated by the yellow arrow: Swyped from my Mi2S

    Mi2 vs Mi2S Night Mode

    Yup, using 32 gb for both. The Mi2S is marginally faster, which naturally causes the battery to drain a touch faster, but that's acceptable given the increase in performance. The only downfall is the camera so far in low light. I'm using WIUI so I wonder if maybe Wajk made improvements to the...

    Mi2 vs Mi2S Night Mode

    I've been fooling around with both phones for the past day and this is one area where the newer and supposedly better Mi2S gets crushed by the Mi2. Anyone have any idea why? I've cloned both phones so they're pretty much identical in almost every possible way, i.e. same rom, same apps, same...

    [ROM | 4.1.1][ | WIUI | ][ 4.8.29 - FiNAL ] - MULTiLanguage | v4 | v5 | AROMA |

    So after half a day of intensive testing, I've found that the Mi2S is marginally faster, apps and content definitely load consistently quicker in most cases, but one area where it's completely outclassed by the original Mi2 is low-light photos. I'm actually in shock how poorly the Mi2S performs...

    So I've managed to get my hands on a Mi2S and am testing it side-by-side against the Mi2, which I was already quite pleased with. I'm using WIUI on both and will be playing around and comparing them over the weekend to see if I should make the switch. Other than scoring higher benchmarks, I...

    Yeah, that's my only beef with MIUI, it looks pretty, but isn't as functional as stock android. I guess they copied iOS a little too much! LOL Swyped from my Mi 2

    [ROM | 4.1.1][ | WIUI | ][ 4.8.29 - FiNAL ] - MULTiLanguage | v4 | v5 | AROMA |

    Go into App Info for whichever apps you're having issues with and check off Show Popup Window, I've found that's solved most issues in V5 I've had with conflicting apps. You can also access App Info quicker by long pressing on the app icons in the Recent Apps toggle when you long press the Home...

    Hah, not quite 7h, just under 6h, but I have done 8h before and if I really wanted to, I might be able to do 10-12h if I kept it on Power Saving and the lowest brightness setting. Yes, I'm using the extended 3120 mAh battery.

    I've been using 3.10.18 for the last couple of days and it's been awesome. The best combination of speed and battery so far for me. I'm getting a little less battery life, but performance is notably faster. Here's a sample photo I took yesterday and a screenshot of my battery life on Normal...
