    MI-2S Very Fast Battery Drain Problem

    It should scan for new media files and add them to media database (eg. the one used when seeking files from USB/MTP connection). But it has issue in its implementation, the issue start from android 4.1 and is not yet corrected by Google in 4.4: if you have, for any unexpected reason, at least...

    MI-2S Very Fast Battery Drain Problem

    Install an app like System Panel (lite or full), then in settings enable the showing of any process. Now simply watch which processes are using your cpu and draining your battery ;) As of my experience, give a look at android.process.media process cpu usage.

    If miui v6 is like this...

    It's the porting of miui v5 for Nexus 7 to Nexus 5, but.. you guys are really sure that the never seen v6 isn't anything more than the one already released to Nexus 7? That is, a v5 with some little change in the default theme (brighter top bar, flatter radio buttons, blurred background of the...

    [APP] Mi2raw – enables capturing real raw!

    Thanks Solf! If you select 'S' mode on Camera FV-5 then you can choose manually the shutter speed (eg. set it to 10 seconds), anyway in that app it is not the real camera's shutter speed that changes, it's an hack that uses video recording and unfortunately the result is far from what can be...

    [APP] Mi2raw – enables capturing real raw!

    That can be done in some ways, apps like Camera FV-5 allow the manual control of both exposure and shutter time that work on MI2S (but it is not real control: exposure changes will tweak ISO and white balance, while shutter speed is achieved by recording a video and merging the frames in one...

    [APP] Mi2raw – enables capturing real raw!

    Just a curiosity, do you think that is possible to add manual focus control? It has to be an hack or a low-level implementation for sure (android API are very simple and are far away from providing such 'advanced' feature for now), but that will be another very interesting feature, especially...

    Improve MI2S touchscreen accuracy

    That's because touch resolution is very low, is like you draw something on eg. a 180x320 input matrix that is interpolated to a 720x1280 canvas matrix. I don't know if it can be solved, but probably it can be improved on driver side. What I can I say you is that with my old samsung S8500 the...

    How to find installed .apk in my phone?

    Installed apk: go to /data/app/ folder with a file explorer with root access. Pre-installed apk: go to /system/app/ folder with root access. Installed app list/uninstall: go to Settings->App. (but this is the same for any android device..)

    Improve MI2S touchscreen accuracy

    the same disappointment I had too, after I tried some apps. I wanted to use it also to take notes and as a small graphics tablet. It should be a common usage for a touch device with a capacitive screen.. but that's how it is, at least for now.. touch accuracy is the biggest limit on this screen...

    Improve MI2S touchscreen accuracy

    I tried the same version of the same apps on different devices, I used the best apps for drawing and taking notes: with these apps the touch response/accuracy on MI2S is always the same (bad) described above, so it is not related to app used but to the touch hardware/driver. I made another...

    Improve MI2S touchscreen accuracy

    As far as I know, TRIM process is to deal with the loss of performance of the storage/mmc that you can have after storing/deleting a lot of files on the phone storage. It has nothing to do with touch accuracy/response, it is related to long access times from storage that can generate micro-lags...

    Android 5.0 is going to be 64 bit !!!

    64bit support may make sense only if Android 5 will try to replace Windows/Linux/OSX in the new pc/tablet market. It's completely useless on phones that have less than 4GB of ram to address.

    If miui v6 is like this...

    There are some things that are really identical to MIUI user interface.. and you're right, it's strange.. like the notification bar or whole menu style, but the ones they changed and that are visible from the video aren't so impressive in my opinion.. flat icons and others similar things (nice...

    [App][2013-06-12] HwInfo

    MI2S 32GB (13MP rear camera): the app gives me a different value for the sensor/driver of the front camera, it reports an IMX132 sensor instead of the OmniVision one (ov2720) My MI2S has been produced in November 2013. Probably, recent MI2S have the IMX (Sony??) sensor instead of the...

    Improve MI2S touchscreen accuracy

    MI2S touchscreen has a noticeable high latency and a low resolution (touch resolution) compared to all other middle and high-end touch devices. You can easily see it when using drawing apps or some others that need an accurate touch response. After doing some little tests I noticed that my four...

    Is it possible to port non-Android roms to the Mi-2?

    Ubuntu, Firefox OS and all other kind of Linux based OS can be ported relatively easily on Android device if you have some experience with android porting, there are also porting guides on Ubuntu wiki. You don't need to write code for drivers, the same drivers work. Inviato dal mio MI 2S...

    [PETITION] Do you want CM official for MI2/2s?

    Sometimes CM devs have a 'more closed' mind than what you/we could think.. Recently they became a company and they should make profits from their work, the first device that is sold with a CM preinstalled is a Oppo (Xiaomi chinese competitor...). Anyway they should at least answer you.
