Hi everyone, sorry my english is bad, i have a question for you.
All roms i had tried seems to be rock solid, after a week the whole roms that i flash begins to give me some problems, after 2 weeks often screen remain black after a lost call.
this without any settings change..
someone else have this problem?
vivalatopa
Please be specific...
Which roms have you tried and with which kernels?
Hey
I think the "problems" you got are not problems
from the rom itself.
It's our device that is not the best for performance etc.
Some roms are way too much for it
and the others can be good in the start but when
you install lot apps or tweaks or even personalize it to your
asthetic preferences the phone have way too much work to do
in the background.
Maybe you should think about upgrading your hardware

thank you, i think that it's possible.
anyway i'll try the only slightly stable, minicm6.
mini cm will be good and most stable for me
Now i'm trying minicm6 with a packet that can be flashed by cwm called "Sensor_Fix.zip"
, this file i found searching for the "black screen after call" problem. I'm thinking the second problem is the
small ram quickly fillable so i'm testing a memory tool.
I'm pleasantly surprised because the phone reset only one time in 4 days of the new rom flash
thank you
if someone need to solve the black screen ask me the file, it seems to work.

disable auto brightness?

no, i think thats not the problem, simply after call the screen stay off, i must reboot because i can't use it.
seem's to be stable after the flashing of a zip file that is done to fix this problem.
Hi everyone,
It's a brand new phone (arrived yesterday) and I'm upset immensely.
Physical capacitive navigation buttons sometimes miss up to 5 touches in a row. You click them and nothing happens.
I have a suspicion that it's due to LineageOS that I installed right after buying the phone but I've got a feeling that a stock firmware had the same issue.
This phone has a thick protection film (factory installed) but the main screen receives all the touches without any problems - only the capacitive buttons work poorly.
Should I install the factory firmware back? I don't want to remove the protection film because it's very sturdy and nice.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Common sense would say remove the film and try without before concluding they are faulty.
The factory installed screen protector is real flexible, they pull up easy and go back on easy. You could try lifting it at the bottom and then trying the buttons to see if it makes any difference. If you do it slow you can bow the screen protector to a 90 degree angle without unseating the top half.
I've figured out it's actually a lag in LineageOS. The ROM wants me to slow down - IOW when I let the OS finish drawing, all the touches are registered just fine.
This is absolutely confusing since my Nexus 5 with a two times slower CPU and four times slower GPU never missed a single press, while LineageOS misses way too many presses.
I wonder if this issue affects the stock ROM as well and other ROMs for that matter.
The best way to reproduce this issue is to have several apps running then pressing these buttons in a quick succession:
"Recent Apps" -> "Home"
"Recent Apps" -> "Home"
"Recent Apps" -> "Home"
"Recent Apps" -> "Home"
"Recent Apps" : totally ignored
Then even when I have the settings app running sometimes the "Back" button doesn't work at all: open the settings app, then quickly press "Security" and the "Back" button immediately after it will not register (100% reproducible). If you press "Security" then pause for a second, then the Back button works.
IOW it's lags and lags only. Now I wonder if it's a LineageOS bug or something is wrong with my device.

Not had that issue on my x829 on any rom I have used. Always instant including on Los.
I'm going to record a video and show it to you. Hold on.
I suggest you install stock rom and try that and without the film. May have even been a bad flash?
What's the meaning of "bad" flash? I wiped everything except user data, I cleaned installed LineageOS 20170409 with zero mods or extra zips aside from gapps. It's as clean as possible.
Here's the video:
No need for video as we believe you lol. Just mean it did not install correctly etc. If you never even tried the phone in stock form you have no idea if it was there from the start etc.
I found Los had too many bugs for me and it got hot so never tried again. My phone also did not come with any screen protector just the film it has on from new.
It could be an hardware fault and installing a stock rom should tell you.
I'm afraid of installing stock for a couple of reasons:
1) I've got a X829 hw which doesn't have an official ROM available anywhere on the internet and I didn't know I should have dumped it prior to flashing LOS.
2) I've heard stories that TWRP may brick your device if you update from a custom ROM to a stock ROM. I cannot find a manual how to get to stock after flashing a custom ROM.
3) Since there's no X829 ROM available, I'm not sure which one I should install - Indian or Chinese, and if they are 100% compatible with my hardware.

I'm pretty sure WIPE actually wipes everything (and I did wipe everything) so there's no way to mis-flash LOS.
All roms are compatible on x829 and can confirm as tried them all. Currently on 23s Chinese. You can install from twrp and no need to rename it. Need to boot straight back to twrp after installing stock or stock recovery gets installed which has happened to me twice but easy to re install twrp.
No issue going from stock to custom and back as I have done it many times until I settled on stock Chinese as its got least bugs of em all.
It's not an isolated issue: people are having it too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71452126&postcount=83
I've just flashed boot.img from lineage-13.0-20170225 and the system feels a lot snappier than before, however some touches are still not registered. It's all kinda unpleasant because when I was buying this phone I was hoping that custom ROMs are as good as the original Nexus 5 firmware, but it's clearly not the case. There are very rough edges all around.
Custom roms on these will never be as good as on a nexus as nexus official roms get fixes quickly but you don't from Le eco.
ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20170329-x2.zip is free from this issue but I don't like this ROM for other reasons (built in ... Russia; no OTA updates; has tons of dubious features, like root access; it's old - security update from January 1st, 2017; various things are missing as if someone hacked it from another ROM and forget to add the necessary strings). Damn, I really don't want to use the Chinese ROM and it seems like with LeEco Le Max2 it's either the Chinese ROM or have bugs and lags.
Edit: please tell me how exactly should I flash the stock ROM back?
Wipe everything as usual and then install the zip with TWRP? That's it? No hidden pitfalls or anything? I don't want to brick my device.

Yes install just like you said above. Just need to either download play store from Le store or download apk online like I did. I just google latest. Don't try and flash gapps as it don't work.
I have the same touch problem.

Use boot.img from LineageOS 20170225 or migrate to ResurrectionRemix.
i use the custom 16s that was instaled from factory and i feel the same problem.
Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.
Hi
you can find it on Elephone Forum
https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14242&extra=page=1&mobile=2
based on Android 7.1.1.
Changes (after stock firmware 20171018):
- Optimized proximity sensor
- Optimized camera (recommendation: in Camera settings set to Allow manual exposition, and set exposition to -1 or -2, the camera will work faster)
- Optimized power consumption and battery life
- Optimized stability
- Solved heating problem while simple apps used
- Some other bugs fixed.
Wow, nice ! I'll try this asap I hope this is better than Eragon
Is there any way to root it ? I'm not sure it's the same way than with official rom, is it ?
how do i boot into recovery? i accidentally wiped my phone and then reset it before installing the new rom and now i cant get past the elephone logo when it first boots . i need to get to recovery to restore my backup.

I think it would be helpful that you make a new topic, too. Because all I know is that you can't get into recovery without a system .... maybe adb and fastboot!?
This ROM brings even more bugs.
According to users on the official Elephone site the ROM is not recommended.
https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?m...&extra=page=1&ordertype=2&page=2#.WzaSXtIzaM8
I flashed it a few hours ago. When you load the scatter file with flashtool be careful that 'userdata' is NOT checked or all your apps and data will be lost.
After flashing the new rom I flashed twrp recovery with flashtool and then booted into recovery with 'adb reboot recovery'. There I installed supersu.zip for root access.
The new rom does not make a real difference at first sight. I will try it a few days to find out about battery and performance.
What I already found out:
-more bloatware
-no live wallpapers supported
Does anyone have an idea how to install the live wallpaper abilty to the system?
I have installed the rom for almost a week now, this is what i found so far:
-memory management diferences are negligible if any
- audio sync in certain apps have not changed
-camera app is a old version of google camera and it is buggy, but can be easely fixed by a 3rd party camera app
- performace seens a lot better with a inscrease of score in antutu from 78k to 90k and it does fell a lot better to use
-the new bloat is just google stuf and dolby atmos which does somewhat work as intended
-the old bloat like mtk logger is not present
-no further bugs found yet
Can waste time trying out rubbish. If they can't do OTA then they can shave that update up their a#s.

I'm using the 'new' rom for 2 and a half weeks now and today I flash back the original firmware. Here is what I found out on my S8:
postive:
- battery life and charging time have actually improved (that's it for positive...)
negative:
- Live wallpapers don't work. I did not find a way to solve this.
- No real improvement on the camera, focus is still slow. They use a different app now but sadly the front light is not supported anymore.
- Problems with changing networks got even worse. On the old rom I had problems when changing between mobile data and wifi, now even changing between wifi networks does not work properly
- Wifi speed is very low sometimes. The only way to solve this is a complete reboot.
- I did not notice any improvement in performance and temperature, so I cannot tell whether this is good or not.
- Bloatware like some google apps, a few apps called something like lawnchair, unknown file explorer and music apps
If this is the update we are waiting for since half a year, it is very disappointing. In my opinion they got it even worse and there is no reason to flash it.

I have almost all solutions for those problems.
-Wifi, buy better connection.
-Tempature, u should use more time on reading,tempature is decreased lot in simple apps...
-Bloatware, LAWNCHAIR is a LAUNCHER, And u can root to delete shutle music app. And u can change file exploler.
-Performance, AWW did u runned before and after benchmarks? Not? okay. I have saw lot performance upgrade.
-Livewallpapers, I think it disabled for better battery experience.
-Network changing, LoL i have not this problem... buy a new elephone!

Dude, all your "solutions" is just showing off how toxic trash you are. Learn some common human decency, grow a brain (brain cells first), I heard these are popular nowadays
Hi there,
unfortunately I got more and more problems using that ROM. Next to the problem described here weather is no longer updating automatically, several google apps cannot be updated any longer (showing error -504) and when rebooting/booting it takes ages now while it gets hot and drains battery massivly during bootup.
Do you have any ideas about how to solve these problems?
In addition I wanted to ask which of the available alternative OSes for RMN2 Prime is the most stable (and secure) to be used which does not exclude too many phone functions (like sensors, bluetooth, audio, GPS, camera etc.) and also provides useful battery live (do not use phone much)?
(I managed to get Dual Boot Patcher working when I used xiami.eu ROM back then - but unfortunately main apps (messengers, calendar, navigation etc.) could not be used in parallel mode so I did not play around much with different OS [had RRemix installed in parallel] - maybe any idea on that to use parallel stuff?).
Thank you in advance for your help!
