Hi! I've been reading this forum on and off for few years, but never actually posted. Hope someone here can help me sort out my issue, thanks in advance!
Basically, I've flashed a cm13 via custom recovery on my second phone - Xiaomi Mi4, and I'm having all sorts of issues with it. I bought the phone in China, and for a while
used the stock MIUI interface, but I hated all the bloated apps and weird pop-up advertising, so decided to flash. it was the first time i've attempted it, so it took some
time to figure it out
My two main issues with cm13:
1. It crashes and restarts two/three times daily for me. I mean, I've cleared cache, I basically have no apps on the phone (apart from few messaging apps and facebook).
Is it just because it's an early cm13 build, or it's a nature of custom roms? I'm wondering if switching to a snapshot cm12 build would be better? I don't really care for
android 6 features on this phone that much, I just want a stable experience.
2. The charging became uber slow, painfully so. On MIUI it'd charge to 100% in about 3 hours or so. On cm13 it takes 3-4 hours to get to 30-40%! Never seen anything like
this. Also, if the battery depletes to 0%, the phone wouldn't turn on, even plugged in for charging. It'd turn on after an hour or two into the charging process. Seems weird,
as every other android phone I've owned previously would turn on even with 0% battery if I'm plugged in.
Anyone else experience any of the listed issues? Is it just an early build, or I've done something wrong in the flashing process? I really just want a stable simple os, no advanced
features or whatever, just need it to work
Thanks!
I have been using latest nightly.. No issues no reboot.. Charging time is 3hr

Thanks for reply! Would you mind telling me which gaps you've used for your build? I remember I had some sort of an issue with few gaps
I tried, I think only the smallest package worked for me. Maybe that's the issue and something in the gaps i've installed freezing/rebooting my os?
Thanks
Hi there. I've Redmi Note 3 Kenzo for a month now. I've problem with my phone battery backup. It have very poor standby time. Even when I'm not using my phone it continuously looses 2/3 percent of battery per hour i.e around 40-50 % in a day . I usually turn off data, wifi , GPS etc after using even though its the same. I tried MIUI 8 Global as well as Chinese (Both stable and Beta version), even downgraded to MIUI 7 on various version, used eu.xiaomi ROM, MultiROM etc but still there is same problem. In some custom ROMS like CM 13 and RR Remix there is a bit improvement in standby time but not as it must be in 4100 mah battery. As I like using MIUI than custom ROM so my problem is still there. I am tired of flashing various ROM every now and than. Does anyone facing same problem. Can anyone help me and suggest some ways of solving this problem. Any help will be highly appreciated. Hope someone will Help. Please................

+1,
i am too tired of flashing this and that ROM,but battery is too horrible for me ,mostly with miui ,I get only 5-6 h sots with miui,
however my experience with nougat cm is quiet satisfactory ,it gives at least a reasonable sot,if u find something pleaaase pm me too.
It's most likely an app that is causing this. Are you able to see if the phone is going into deep sleep?

I tried Wake Lock Detector but couldn't find any app causing the problem. I even tried Greenify and Amplify app but no improvement. It seems its Problem In MIUI Rom cause using custom ROM i get a bit improvement in standby battery life. Any suggestion can you give like Which version of MIUI Rom is better for battery life.
Is there anyone who can help? Please.....
I'm currently on xiaomi.eu rom 6.11.3 (since it is the only one that allows for use of custom kernels with goodix at this time) and I get what I feel is good battery life. You could try this ROM if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for your reply. But i already tried that Rom. And yes i have officially unlocked bootloader. I usually get satisfactory SOT but my only problem is standby time. Battery is decreasing constantly even without using my phone. Currently using RR Remix Rom and getting a bit satisfactory result but i really like MIUI so I'm looking for a fix. Thanks again.

Use nitrogen os...its the best for battery backup or if u want amdroid 6.0 use exodus...
Use stock kernel with nitrogen os and use radon with exodus
I was installing aosp, flashed a kernel, booted up the phone and it was booting too long so I decided to turn it off by holding power button and it did turn off but its not turning on again and thanks to awesome new phone designs where you can't take the fu**** battery off, what the hell im supposed to do now ? I wont disassemble a screen that's already factory poorly slapped on to the phone so just I could disconnect the battery... Who knows how much I will have to wait for battery to discharge now... Any solution maybe ? I just hope I didn't brick something by doing this it wouldn't make sense to just die when I was just turning it off when it was stuck on booting... This is the first time I have seen something ridiculous as this happen... Now the phone is cold and its probably not draining the battery, how great...
UPDATE: Yes the phone turned on when i disconnected the battery,

did you try to charge the phone? whether LED is turning on? hold the power button until you get vibration, it may take some 12secs.

Yes i did, there is no led and the phone doesn't vibrate no matter how long i press the power button, I ended up opening the phone and when i get to the battery connector i will report if the phone turns on or not, i hope it does...
Phone ended up turning on when i reconnected battery, at least it aint dead
I remember that i waited like 4 hours when installing rom( i guess it was a mui rom). So after that i was able to open twrp again. So i tried to install same rom again and waited another 4 hours to get twrp menu. Finally small auriel rom saved my day after that. So what in implying is: be patient. For example if windows boot took long give it some time. IF you force it to close- Like many other electronic devices - PC or phone will behave strangely...

I flashed a kernel that was apparently non compatible with aosp so actually it would never do anything and the fact that my phone was not able to turn on after force shut down is completely ridiculous and I'm afraid now it might happen again if system gets frozen or something; I might need to remove the screen again...
Heyyo, weird turn of events indeed hmm... So you were trying to flash AOSP from Google with a LeEco kernel on top? I'm unsure if that would work since it would require vendor blobs and device tree for the Le Max 2 to be properly compatible.
I'd recommend for custom ROMs to check out the ones currently available and stable Nougat. You can try the experimental Oreo builds but they aren't what I would call stable for regular use.
OmniROM would definitely be the stable Nougat ROM I'd recommend first. It's definitely stability above all else and is a great first way to get your feet wet or stick with for custom ROMs.
There's other ROMs you can try such as SlimRoms if you want more recent tweaks and they have been coming along quite nicely. SlimRoms is more of a balance between performance, battery and stability.
If you want optimization over stability there is BlackX as another example.

Heyyo!
Hmm that's a tough one since both share a lot of code but andr86rus would probably know best since they are his ROMs so DU might have a slight edge over OmniROM.

What were u doing? Explain..
I play a lot of games so i definitely don't want to lose performance or don't want to be kicked out of fortnite. And i really like the miui gestures but also hate the bloat and notifications not coming etc. And how can i unlock my Pocophone?
no, we are all on XDA because we have nothing better to do

What a nice reply from a brazillian fellow =)
hey OP, I'm with u, with stock rom and locked bootloader...
I would suggest u to unlock BL to solve ur notification issues, u'll need root too and flash that gps+speedview mod zip.
As far as bloat is concerned, its a serius issue, miui keeps mining our private data in d background. So I wil move frm miui forever once LOS 16 official becomes stable, will never flash n use data mining miui.
as for my experience. in todays android i see not much benefit using custom roms. most of the things we need are on the play store already.
whats more important for me now is to unlock bootloader, custom recovery and root access. to remove unnecessary things my default os has
and wat about touch problems and lag ?
I bought my first smartphone in 2011 and a while after a rooted it and never went back.
Been on custom ROMs since then and i can tell you two things for 2019:
1. There's nothing a locked-unrooted phone can do that an unlocked-rooted phone can't do.
2. There's almost nothing an unlocked-rooted phone can do that a locked-unrooted phone can't do.
The matter is which workarounds piss you off the least.
If you choose the "unlocked/rooted/custom ROM" path, be prepared to do some research and find yourself here on XDA every other day (especially in the beginning).
Personally, i tried to play clean for about 2 months now that I got my Poco (locked-unrooted). Almost everything I needed could be done.
But old habits die hard. I want more. So i'm in my 40th hour of waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked atm...
My question would be why would you like to stay with that buggy, overbloated, intrusive and crappy interface called MIUI?
Xiaomi.eu version is less bloated.
Also install malakas Kernel and your good to go, no thermal throttling with module in kernel thread. Kernel works also with Los ROM.
As for root, just run magisk and hide root from apps that sniff for it.
There are many options out there.

It is VERY worth it imho...
Sure it's a bit of a hassle to unlock the poco but just for the battery drain alone it's worth it.
I went from losing about 10% battery in a night ( all antenna's off , battery saver on ) to just 2% ...
Daytime battery drain has also massively improved.
Even if miui is to your liking you can still get a lot more benefits for unlocking and re-flashing the poco

Lol that was so long ago, don't worry i installed xiaomi eu like few weeks after and using it ever since.
I would say yes. Stock ROMs are nice in some ways, but I don't necessarily trust that they're not data mining. I've tried damn near every combination of every ROM and kernel available. I want speed, battery life and privacy. Official RevengeOS, Arter Kernel R7, F2FS, no gapps, no microg. That's my current setup and it blows stock MIUI clean out of the water.
Ultimately I guess it depends on your needs though.
All custom roms for poco is ****, all contains tons of bugs lmao,
None of them works for screencast , oxygen os,rescurretion remix rom started to bootloop after 7-8 hrs,
I ve tried rr, oxygen os, lineage os, crdroid already, all got problems,
So i installed back stock rom, rooted via magisk, and uninstalled stock apps which i dont needed.
Now i m happy
I recently got this phone with the intention of flashing it daily like I used to with my Nexus 5, however, so far, I have had no reason to run anything other than the stock MIUI. It works well, does what I need it to, and as long as it gets updated on a regular basis with security updates, will suffice.
I am using Pocof1 March2019
lately,
1. it lags alot
2. heats up alot
3. freezes on touch and even applications doesn't work as swiftly as before!
now i have done the following
1. tried three different kernels after CLEAN flashing Roms such as Corvus, Crdroid, havoc , of Android 9 and 10 both and tested performance
2. device was running on Lawrun for last many months various updates on Pie rom
3. I FORMAT data and Reflashed MIUI11.0.8 by Fastboot method, clean flashing fully
4. I then format data again and changed by filesystem to f2fs
using now AEX / pie with sphinx3.1 and barely making thru day
device heats alot even on room temperature while ac working.
it is possible the cooling mechanism is deat? or thats the end of this device for me?
any sugggestions? before i go to market and start hunting for some other developer friendly device?
on same node, can one suggest me another Xiomi (LED panel only) which is very popular on xda , having many kernels and roms?
thank you in advance guys
Well if you've done all possible ts software wise, then it's likely an issue with hardware. If it's just heating issues depends on what you're doing. If you have a case, depending on thickness and what you are doing then it would cause heating problems and also if the phone overheats then performance dips.
In my case haven't had issues with the phone at all performance wise, battery, or anything else (only problem is signal, but that's an issue with my network, not the phone per se).
So based on my humble opinion, try having it checked for damages. Since it's out of warranty have a technician check it out, most technicians provide free diagnostics anyway, or if you're confident enough try opening the phone yourself, ifixit has a tutorial on it and unlike most phones it's an easy teardown. But if you're not confident look for a pro who offers free diagnostics first

thats a very logical answer sir!
however i have to buy another device because any repair person wont just fix device in few hours and data will definately be lost !
btw
after restarting device works perfect for some time
its just later suddenly it starts lagging and till i restart
i am currently on AEX 6.4 / sphinx3.1 (pie / aug2019 patch)

You are using android 10 firmware with android 9, why ? If you use Android 10 with older firmwares than 11.0.4.0 it will cause issues and so is your case, just in reverse. Try to flash 11.0.8.0 from fastboot. Then flash recovery > AEX 7.3 + gapps. Or try Reloaded OS. It is a CAF rom so performance is great with good battery backup. You won't need any custom kernels. If no progress still then get ready to say goodbye to your poco.

You're confusing bro. As for data, why not just back it up? You yourself even stated that you've formatted, flashed and all that stuff right? So basically by now you have no internal data or you already have a backup. And as I said dude just have it inspected, they should be able to perform a checkup within the day if they aren't that busy. I've had issues before and in my country some where able to diagnose the issue.
FYI that's your problem if they can't diagnose it in a few hours, if you badly need the phone repaired then prep for it, "diskarte" as we call it, that means planning ahead in my country. Make plans and prep for it, either borrow an old phone from a friend for the mean time while you have yours in repair or something or ask maybe the repair guy has a spare dumb phone (some OEMS do that if you are in warranty anyway) or tell people not to call you on a certain day because you need to have the phone repaired.
Again, that's no longer my issue "diskartehan mo" make your own plans. I'm saying if you tried all software then it's hardware. If you don't want to go through all that hassle then just buy a new phone, simple as that

the reason why i am nervous here, locally there arent any good repair shops who can fix Xiaomi Devices. mostly go after iphones or samsungs hence i am pretty positive any repair shop person will open device, ask for something to be replaced and it wont matter
I'm on latest MIUI 11.0.8.0 with No Gravity Kernel, with NGK thermals. Performance is superb and runs very smooth. PUBG runs at constant 60FPS even on HDR + Extreme (used GFX tool).
CPU throttling test app provides results of 170K+ GIOPS. On stock MIUI kernel, this result doesn't cross 100k and even PUBG is not playable when there are many players nearby. Constant stuttering and lag.
You should try fastboot flashing the latest stable ROM and a custom kernel (NGK, ODK, Lawrun etc) to check, as stock MIUI kernel is laggy anyway. If everything is fine in hardware, this setup will provide you with Max performance.
My phone makes two years this november and it still gets 360k on antutu on same setup and never gets heated
*Changed the battery two months ago eve it didn't have any problem
