    Reentry & Takeoff

    It's not only me after all: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/my-experience-in-bootloader-unlocking.38975/ I just don't have time to become an expert in dealing with buggy ROM installations. When I first came here - and actually made a donation for the good work that was being done here - it...

    Reentry & Takeoff

    Okay, so: 6 days, that was the time that XIAOMI (yes Xiaomi, not Google, not Miui) took to send me the SMS to unlock the bootloader. 6 days during which I could not update the TWRP, I could not update the faulty Google Play, actually I could not update anything. I could not install SuperSu...

    Reentry & Takeoff

    The process might not work, but again... it is a matter of principles... Why should I wait 3 to 10 days to unlock MY phone...??? The spirit of using and developing "custom roms" used to be different... more... "open". Not to mention the amount of bugs here... in CM I just do not see any bug to...

    Reentry & Takeoff

    OK... so Google owns Miui/Xiaomi...? Because Miui is the only ROM that blocks the bootloader...!? CM does not... Is not the end of the world for you, but for many other it was... lucky you!!! That's why the Internet is full of complaints, and unofficial procedures - they are all stupid people...

    Reentry & Takeoff

    Just passed by to test the new Miui 8.3 / Android 7. The ROM looks great, as usual. Battery first impressions were also great. But... I do not accept that Xiaomi.eu offers ROMs that locked the phone. It's really inaceptable and goes against the "custom" ROM free spirit that used to be around...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    Well... it's overwhelming... what a test...! I did not understand the "efficiency" parameter... it's from which ROM...? In the end the point still remains: SnapDragon 810 only goes down on temperature if you do mess with governors and/or with thermal config files. As I said before, I am using...

    I don´t know. I do not use that feature and didn't look for it. Here we are dealing with temperature issues.

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    I am not familiar with benchmark numbers, nor the antutu software. Could you please translate all that into daily plain english, I mean, your point of view regarding the heat and performance issues...? I would appreciate because I am interested in a ROM that only needs native options to control...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    I don't know. @Patadas is the one who has extensively search for a solution among ROMs and thermal configurations. Perhaps he has a sugestion to make. Without root I would think about the SMiui... but using a Mi4C for Pokemon Go will be quite a challenger... (regarding heating issues)...!

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    In the rom CM 13 there are 5 battery profiles. If one chooses "Eficiency" (the second lowest) the phone woks allways with only 4 cores. The lowest use a "Powersave" mode, not good. Then you have "Balanced", "Fast" and "Performance". I will test "Balanced" soon, but "Fast" and "Performance" will...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    The first thing I would suggest is (eventually) to use a bumper and a screen protector, instead of a silicon cover. I believe the tempered glass that I am using on the phone also keeps the heat from the sreen, so I am also questioning if it is a good idea. Presently me and @Patadas we are...

    Ok, thanks for the reply. I will keep the information and the *.apk file, in case I go back to MIUI. For now I'm happy testing CM13...!

    Developer Rom With Best Battery Life

    Well I tried to disable Miui Optimization but after that I am unable to attach any file to an e-mail - Gmail app, Bowser access, native mail app, no matter which, I can't attach a file to a message. I tried several times, on and off, and confirmed that issue.

    Developer Rom With Best Battery Life

    I am not a heavy user of the phone, so I don't really have battery problems. On the other hand, I used to have a lot of heating problems, even with the phone idle. Not anymore, even though I didn't do a heavy test, with CM 13.1 the phone is cold or just slightly warm if the screen in on for a...

    Heating Problems, Roms, Apps & Settings

    Guys, just to leave a feedback about where I'am standing: after a lot of experiments with ROMs, scripts and settings - with the great help and suggestions of @Raventlov and @Patadas - besides the fact that I got good battery life I did not solve the heating problem. I am now testing the Team...
