5. Reboot your phone. Job Done.

When you use older version of my custom ROM or stock V6 no full wipe req. Some time when you use Mi Recovery pleas wait after flasing 99% cca 30 minutes. Mi Recovery is too slow.

Very nice, Sonic.
Thanks for your work!


Already installed, I'm enjoying.
The management and consumption of memory ram is better, there is!

So far, so good. I deactivated the phone storage (which became the fake SD card) to force the camera to store photos into the actual SD card.
 
@Kyogiro How did you do that?

To me the camera continues to record the pictures in internal memory (ROM), even going to the settings, and choosing the option to Camera store in external memory (MicroSD)
 
Just go into the storage settings, then go to the bottom of the page and unmount the so called SD card.

I confirm this issue and its the only reason I'm not using this rom.
No solution for this blody issue?
 
The only "solution" that I find is the workaround I described or revert back to V5.
 
how to install it?
if i backup all my apps with the backup tool of Xiaomi, can i restore it? and for the data of apps? (accounts, saves of games, etc...)
is there French language?
 
1) Like mentioned in the op, the rom is signed, so you can install it through the updater app which will bring you into recovery or reboot into recovery and do it manually from here (both stock and custom recovery work). Just search a bit if you never did that, there's plenty information in this forum or on Google

2) If you want to keep you app data, use Titanium backup, if you have very large app data, configure Titanium backup to lift the size limit. Again, google it for more information

3) French is included.
 
it's kinda like 1AM , my review :

love the UI, love Walkman, nice job :)
but i'm verry slow, after reboot i have only 450 MB of Free memory. and Xperia Keyboard isn't installed :)
 
450 MB of what memory? If it is concerning storage, could you make a screenshot?

I don't know about the xperia keyboard which works for me but I hardly ever use it. I've replaced it with TouchPal because I need to type Chinese in a regular basis.
 
RAM memory, less than 450MB free out of 1GB.

i've found Xperia Keyboard, it was disabled in the app settings
 
Don't worry too much about RAM usage and management. More there is, more the system will use it.

As long as it is usable, I wouldn't manage opening /closing apps manually unless it is something that requires to do so (GPS apps for example).
 
with the official MiUI V5 i had +570MB free after reboot, but this rom is nice 'cuz it's smoothlier than miui v5
 
ROM updates. Look on first page
All my builds is primary tested from users from my forum. Look on credits. Use google translate.
 
does this rom has the miui camera or is a 3rd party camera?
also, is it to be installed with TWRP 2.5.0.0 or 2.8.4.0?
thanks
 
Stock miui and second aosp. Second AOSP camera store images to sd card. Flash with twrp without full wipe. Twrp 2.8.4.0
