[bialabs]

@bugers
Flashed yesterday, all ok except lags on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.. videos that are still present.
I wiped all before flashing.
Sent logs and video demo via PM

Status bar network traffic doesn't work (I don't know if it's related)

@bugers I found something, that is connected to the videos bug. You can see time "jumping" 5 seconds up and back almost immediatly. It can be monitored in apps like Snapchat, Google play music, or count-down timer in built-in clock app. This bug occurs always with the video bug. Also when you have subtitles in YT turned on, they jump off-sync for a tiny while, when this bug is occuring.

 

[rendolf]

is there a way to shorten the time period that heads-up messages appear ?

I found the network traffic icons not working properly. Only showing the actual in and out bits when just turned on, or changed. After screen goed off they appear to be stucked at old value. Such minor bug, maybe cm-related?

Network traffic working fine with wifi connection at least.Does anyone else has the "google play services stopped" message when using gps?

No I haven't, but the last time that Google Play services bug appeared, was gapps issue. I flashed PA Gapps and everything was ok. I think it was marvollos cm12 with opengapps, i reflashed this with pagapps and it was ok. Άντε να σε δω να ξανά φλασαρεις από την αρχή την ROM ....

This sounds as if Full Disk Encryption on Qualcomm (and possibly many others) devices is not really secure:

Interesting ... I suspected that but It's always better to have something than nothing on device. As it is mentioned in comments temporary solution would be to change cryptfs password for something long and as much complicated as it can be.

Anyway thanks for for sharing great article.

New version available from today! (RC9)

That's another big update in case of changes under the hood. Many things gets fixes or tuned. Finally we have working encryption for our phones!
Do backup before update and be prepared that something may not working (beta). I recommend to do wipe before install.

Making this ROM takes a lot of time and resources so if you like this project don't hesitate to leave good word or support.
This makes me feel that this is important for you too!

hi @bugers,. thanks for the update, already on rc9, still not work premissive SELinux

found a small bug,

camera cannot connect when it's first (after boot) opened in whatsapp, after whatsapp the camera-app doesn't connect then after.

Reboot, first opening the camera in the camera-app solves. After, it's possible to connect to the camera in whatsapp. And after the camera-app is still responsive.

/edit : three times the software reacted as above. And just now rebooted and the camera did connect first time through whatsapp, and after connection with camera-app was good.

Hi @bugers,
I also upgraded last night from rc2 to rc9, with of course all additional work needed. I was finally tempted to make the jump by the mako wifi driver backport entry in the changelog.

It's looking v good so far, v smooth. No idea yet on steady battery life as I was still busy the whole day with restoring and (some) reconfiguring of the 250+ apps I had installed. But the phone feels cold to the touch when picking up from the table, so without knowing hard "Battery drain/hr in idle" figures, It already feels very good.

I'm running Open Gapps Pico (latest, downloaded today), Xposed v85, SuperSU 2.74, Amplify and Greenify. All stable so far, no FC. Videos are playing fine, locally using MXplayer, or remotely over VPN & DS File to my Synology NAS, all smooth, no stuttering. Bluetooth all ok, Wifi stays on, not yet had the need to reboot to be able to reconnect.

So, I have not found any weird/broken thing yet.

I've send you some drinking money via PayPal yesterday, enjoy a vodka, mead or whatever you like on my behalf and thanks for keeping this MI2s alive.

Edit: Now with some overnight battery stats

V sweet!

@Netweaver , such nice charts! which app delivers them?

Hello @bugers,
I just flashed to rc8 few days back and rc9 is on..lol Thanks anyway!!
May I report some bug I got:
1. While turn on my phone, wifi had a high frequency that need to reboot to be able to reconnect.
2. After flashing Gapps Pico, built-in Android keyboard keep forced close.
3. While watching video via Youtube, MXPlayer, the graphic will suddenly stop/delay for few second>resume>happen again>...
4. For display language, seems that some of the words became "little block" like some chinese word/japanese word.

@rendolf : GSam Battery Monitor gives me these. There are more tools for battery monitoring but I liked this one best. Each to his own...

btw, happy birthday tomorrow. Ook een kreeft

@Netweaver, thanks ik begin vanavond al met vieren! en ik maar denken dat ik een os ben.... I'll try the GSam, especially the drainpercentage/hour, it's impressive with your setup!

last night the phone charged until 99 percent, not 96 as the past days.

Have fun. To get this low I had to do aggressive things in amplify and greenify, causing other side effects, such as Moves getting gaps in its time line, irregular background processing of events etc. But it does help in preserving battery overnight when idle.

I must say, when being on the move, mostly on 3G, the current setup is not very battery friendly, less than being on rc2. I don't know if it's the Rom or something else.
@bugers, did you play with cpu governor and/or kernel tunable parameters such as max frequency and voltages?

Same here, but now even more camera troubles. Seems not v stable in this area.

Did one of you manage to make encryption work?
After having encrypted my device, when Android asks my schema password at boot, it just keeps loading and loading…

Miyaku,
for SE permissive mode only - it works fine with me by using terminal from hand and init.d script.

For ViperFX @Jezura confirm here that it's working for him but you need to install SuperSU, and su policy script.

Did you tried it?

Hi CrAzyFox,
1. what do you have in mind with high frequency?
2. I can't help you with Gapps, anyone?
3. Fix is under testing right now.
4. You can go here and help CM team to with translations. After your changes have been approved you will find them in LH ROM too

Nope.

Already test it, and there were no problems.

If you checked only what's in status bar then no worries. It's fine and limited.
