Incredible! Getting the best battery life with your setup @RobinHood00.. although I'd like it more if haptic feedback intensity was a little lower.. My only issue is the ROM runs a bit too hot with auto screen brightness on, what about you?. Is it possible for the CPU to fry? Or will the device shut down if it reaches a temperature too high?
 
the best battery life ever on mi2, only the haptic feedback intensity is too high.

And i need notifications on lockscreen. But in QDT14 (4.1.1) no notifications on lockscreen, only android 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 support it.
 
I've searched and searched and searched some more for an xposed module to adjust haptic feedback intensity.. I don't think there's one.. I did manage to alleviate this issue by changing the vibrational intensity in the advanced options of AOSP keyboard in settings-lang/input.. The menu/ home/back keys are still pretty intense tho.. I suppose I could live with that.. BTW... can anyone comment on the overheating issue? or is it just me?
 
@rosheko I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slidelock, if you want the full version you have to pay about 2€

Thanks for the same but I was looking for module... I was using one of same app on my previous mobile phone when I lost my power button.

I can, but I guess you can help yourself, Google it, or look on XDA forum :)

maybe you forget about "Xposed Additions" Xposed module. it can assign specific hardware button key to specific actions. just map your-both volume key and assign action for that (action=screen on). for me, it works very well.

i have not found yet any module that can override haptic intensity. for me, i just disable it for my battery life. but for keyboard i guess there's option for that.
i dont have any overheating issue with it.
 
at last i got it. There are 2 module which supports volume wake option, 1 is Gravity, yes it is there in gravity and another is MODACO TOOL

The most stable rom is QDT14 from Xiaomi, here is how I use my phone with Xposed framework and some other minor changes to get the Cyanogen options back:
I'm using this rom, official Xiaomi Rom QDT14 (Vanilla Android 4.1.1):
http://bigota.d.miui.com/QDT14/miui_NativeMI2_QDT14_44bd255a2d_4.1.zip
Found here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-1885-1-1.html

Actually I use a slightly edited version which you should use instead because of less bloatware and way better camera!! I've uploaded it for you on my Google Drive so you can choose yourself:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0H81qsvg-aNX0JKYW8tVEllYWM/edit?usp=sharing
(M1chaa also edited this rom its on the forum here somewhere... that one has no bloatware and is already rooted, so its better! hehe)
Here is the thread where you can find M1cha's version.
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/2013-06-29-aosp-4-1-1-qdt14.20990/

Flash it with CWM, then flash Gapps, I use CM10.0.x Gapps found here:
http://goo.im/gapps
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After flash, CWM asks if you want to flash new boot, you dont want that, you want to keep CWM I guess.

Then I install Apex Launcher and set it up the way I like it.

I install Google Keyboard found here(So I have my own language when typing):
http://d-h.st/hSX

(This step is not needed when you use M1cha's rom, it has root already)
I use the app framaroot.apk to root the device, look here (Select Gandalf and the app will install SuperSU):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276

Then I use Xposed Framework:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

With Xposed Framework I use Gravity box to get back CM functionality, lots of things are there, just not the android 4.2+ Quicksetting toggles, just search for "Gravity box" in Xposed apps download selection.

I use intelli3g, another Xposed Module, to let my phone automaticly switch to 2G when in standby which saves a lot of battery, when you unlock the screen it automaticly switches on to 3G... there is a lot of other options. Just look at it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voidvapps.intelli3g
Here is a thread about this app:
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/battery-saving-automaticly-switch-2g-2g-3g.23334/

You could also use MiCore for undervolting and downclocking but I do not need it as I get amazing battery life!

Edit:
I'm using this for more then 2 months now and it is fantastic.
You can put the phone in "battery saving mode" but I found out it does not make a big difference in battery life, but it does make a difference in overall smoothness/responsiveness of the phone so from now on I'm using "normal power mode" and it works even better :D

Some tip I got from, I believe it was Paulrlzz, if you want theme support like in CM use this.
XDA XthemeEngine

And here is how to port CM themes to this Xthemer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504371

And for all the KitKat fans, use this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545932

I found out XthemeEngine did not work on my phone unless I flashed it as a system app, it still gives an error when opening the module, but when I click outside of the confirmation box the app works...
So here is a .rar file with, XthemeEngine which is you can flash, this way it will work, Framaroot.apk, GoogleKeybord.apk, Miui Camera for stock rom and a bootanimation which I like a lot more then stock Miui :)

Thanks for sharing this info.
Was very helpful.
I installed the new 4.4.2 that appeared on this forum and it works great. I used your way to customize it and now it's even better.
