Is there a need for a custom ROM for mi5s Plus ? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hi there,
As a proud owner of a Xiaomi mi5s Plus and a compulsive flasher of custom ROM's, I had to get rid of that addiction to flashing when I get the mi5s Plus. Not that I wanted to get rid of it, but simply put, there was no way to get satisfaction by that addiction because of the lack of material to flash.
OK... So I thought to myself : "Am I really to live with MIUI 8.0.X.0 for ever ?", which in other words, means to live with the ROM that is probably the most far away from AOSP ROM ?
Answer was, unfortunately, undoubtedly : "Yes".
So it was time for me to make a hard introspection work... and answer that most philosophical question : "WHY do I want custom ROM ?".
Basically for 2 reasons :
- 1°) because I want something close to AOSP ;
- 2°) because I want to get the ability to customize things the way I want and not be in constant constraint like iPhone users are.
And now to the point : can I get those 2 things and still use MIUI 8.0 ?
At first I thought : "Hell no. This is too close to iPhone. In fact, should you just look the screen, you think you have an iPhone".
So I decided to change things interface wise...
First reflex was to get some themes from the in-built Xiaomi Store. What a disappointment ! About 90% of those themes are called something that contains "iOS". This is EXACTLY what I want to avoid !
So how to get rid of that apparent MIUI ? The answer is pretty simple : CHANGE THE LAUNCHER ! So I installed my favourite launcher : Smart Launcher from the former "Gin Lemon" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree).
What do I get now ? Simple : I don't even notice that I am running MIUI anymore. Well, that is not exactly true. I still notice when I go to the "Settings". But that part is probably the only one that is still somewhat close to AOSP. So I can live with it despite so "rearrangements"... Indeed, once configured, I don't go to settings that often... So not a problem.
So I had to face the second reason for me to flash a custom ROM : customizations !
The most important thing to me is to be able to have shortcuts to actions and/or apps almost everywhere. I just hate to have to dig into menus, searches and stuff to be able to achieve what I am looking for. So of course, having an ROM that allows me to customize the interface is a great move. I can already have a bunch of shortcuts in Smartlauncher... but the best thing I can do is have a shortcut assigned to the hardware buttons... and there are 7 of them in the mi5s Plus (navigation : 3 ; volume : 2 ; power : 1 ; FP Scanner : 1).
So how to I do this ? I did some research but it rapidly became obvious that I will need to unlock the phone to root it and so be able to install XPosed framework and some XPosed modules. So I did. Applied to get the unlock code ; got it after 3 days. Unlocked the device, installed TWRP, installed SuperSU and installed XPosed framework.
So I of course installed the ultimate swiss army knife of UI customization : GravityBox. Unfortunately, it was of little help. It only really works when you have a "close to AOSP" ROM. But as mentioned earlier : MIUI is the farest thing to AOSP you can imagine. So a lot of tweaks had no effects. Still the major one is still present : the "App launcher". Hit a button, it will display a "pop-up" where you can add up to 12 shortcuts to apps. So I configured the "Home Butoon" to display it with a long press... I then wanted to configure the other buttons, but some can't be configured (Volume and Power), others don't take the mod ("Recents" button from the navigation buttons) and one breaks things (FP scanner => device doesn't wake AND unlock if used).
So I digged a little deeper and found another module called "XPosed Additions" : that one allows me to configure each button (yes, all seven buttons !) and I am able to assign up to 6 actions and/or shortcuts to each one of them ! And YES : that does include the FP scanner ! Imagine : for the FP Scanner :
- display off => power on & unlock ;
- display on + 1 tap => got to "Home"
- display on + long press => show the dialer (remember, even if "Smart" it's basically a "Phone" !) ;
- display on + double tap => display off
- display on + double tap and hold => bring up the camera ;
- display on + triple tap => bring up Waze ;
- display on + triple tap and hold => bring up the Radar app.
That was it on the buttons customization side. Now there was still one thing I couldn't stand in MIUI : that was the QuickSettings. I din't liked two things : "Aqua on white" for one ; not able to hide buttons I do no use for two.
For the first thing (appearance) the "Theme Store" is a nice help. Even if the theme is labelled "iOS", you won't noticed the Apple-ish look once the Launcher is installed. But you will still keep the appearance of the Quicksettings. So I applied a theme that had an appearance I found appealing.
For the second thing, another Xposed module helped : it's called "MIUI Tweaks". I gives the ability to hide the unused QuickSettings (and sideways to tweak a little the appearance : size and stuff, but notthe colour... which leaves the Them handy !).
CONCLUSION :
Even if I am, as mentioned in the brief introduction, a compulsive custom ROM flasher, I now live with MIUI 8.0 and I must say that I don't mind doing so ! At least I have everything working (camera, gallery, network, 4G...) and I also have a really nice battery life (I have used it for 48 hours and I still have 28% even though the Play Store updates automatically and I had several rather long phone calls and played "Darkness Reborn" for about 3h and played around with settings to fine tune my set-up... which gives a SOT of about 4h45minutes).
I am now waiting for Xiaomi to release a Nougat based ROM to maybe improve battery life even more...
But to tell the truth, even without a custom ROM, I am perfectly happy with this device... of course I had to spend about 5 dollars to unlock Xposed additions and MIUI tweaks (2.5 dollars each). But those were the most well-spent 5 dollars in the last 5 years ! And I will still be able to use those even if I change the phone... which I don't think will happen too soon !

Even with the few bugs it has I enjoy using lineage 14.1 way more than MIUI. Their whole apple-like approach to everything just drove me away. MIUI is just too bloaty and made me feel like my phone was being bogged down.

I just put Nova Launcher, and I don't feel bloatware at all (after 3 days of use at least).
Wish to root. And to do some changes to some buttons.
How to root?

Hi,
Yeah... I don't like it either.
But honestly, if you install another launcher, what is left of the iOS like interface ?
The "Power Menu" ? I don't use it daily...
And maybe the Notifications... But those can be changed via an XPosed module.
But of course, I agree that having the choice between several custom ROM's would be a nice addition to this device
Regards.

Hi Claudio,
To be able to root, you first need to unlock your bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader requires a permission to be granted by Xiaomi.
So you have to apply to get your unlock code.
To apply, please visit this page : "en.miui.com/unlock".
Regards.

In my Mi5s Plus I use "xMiui" and "Miui 8 Tweaks" modules: with these two modules, you can do many personalizzations like Gravity Box.
With BuilProp Editor I set the DPI to 360 to have a better use of display (icons in miui are so big!)
With these methods, I resolve all the problems with Miui interface.
But I have a multiboot way to switch to xiaomi.eu, Lineage and RR roms.
I hope Lineage and RR will be official for Mi5s Plus

One thing that I've discovered on my Xiaomi phones is that finding the right theme changes everything for the better. I was originally using the Android N theme, but recently switched to Stheme. I apply it globally (rather than in the window that allows customisation - dialer, messaging, status bar, etc). The advantage with doing this is that it themes the settings menu to a nice blue colour.
With Stheme installed, I get quick settings toggles that look like the Pixel's, and the colours in the stock messaging app become tolerable. I found that it themed the stock contacts app too dark for me, so I downloaded Zeny Purple, went into the customize theme page, and applied Zeny Purple to just the dialer. I also applied the Android N theme to just the icons.
Using these three themes, I was able to significantly improve things. I'm sure there are other decent themes available, although a lot of them are pretty ordinary.

Impressions & Reviews and thoughts about KitKat + EMUI 2.3! (B510)

I thought, would be nice to talk separetly about the KitKat International B510 firmware. Also we can write reviews.
My FIRST impression about this KitKat update is mixed. I missing a lot of features, like Permission manager for push services?!
Video playing is really bad! Standalone and online also. If i open videos online, and rotate the screen, i only hear the sound but the screen flashing all the time. Also video image slides alot!
Sometimes the launcher freez, when scrolling to another page. At multi-tasking when i close app with gesture, (not clicking on "X") it closes not smoothly.
Permission manager is gone? A lot of apps needed that, to work properly. For example: Facebook Messenger Cheat heads blocked, so i cant use it because of that.
Others? Whats your imressions overall?

This is BETA, so it's undestandable to have some issues and missing apps. All apps will be there in the official release.
Is it worth upgrading from B507 to B510 ?

Yes. Give it a shot, it is much faster and all the new functions are running very smooth. The performance is much better.
Update this beta version through OTA (I attended to do beta tester).
No problem with standalone and online video, about launcher seems slightly less fluid, I recommend using a theme created for 2.3 EMUI version.
About the permission manager, I suppose it's changed the method of management with the app "phone management"
I love the new keyboard and the new lock screen !

Yes, im okey with changes, but if it's working well. In phone management you'll not finding any options to set up, permissions neither push options. So it's not a good "change".

I find instead the new implementation significantly easier to use than before, for example, the widget is really functional and also the new management once you understand how it works, I do not mind at all.
It is true, I have not found the settings about notifications, but the rest is "smarter" :highfive:
for me no problem with video playback ( i sugest hwreset)
and Permission manager is now phone manager... so nothing is missing at all ;p
it runs good as for day of usage ;p

This is not the way to root the device. You must install KK TWRP and that will root your device.
@BeyondTheHorizon (assuming your working for Huawei)
My impressions, after updating from B506 to B510. Note that since i have already used Emui2.3 beta (B014) and Emui 2.0 (official) i will not get into mentioning its improvements over Emui1.6.
- Magazine lockscreen is awesome. But i don't understand why magazine option is enabled only for a selected theme, while a few other theme have weather option on lockscreen, and why not instead have them all for all themes. (Also haven't figured out what the "link" option is within the magazine lockscreen menu).
- Overall there is lags and inconsistency in transition and animation speeds everywhere.
Examples:
> Pulling down notification panel has slower animation then when pulling it back up. While on the other hand there is also a jamming lag when notification panel goes back up.
>Random lags when moving about homscreen pages.
> lag in settings sections when entering each settings item.
- I personally dont like the splitting of drop down panel into two "notification" and "switches". The combined was much better. Even in the split form, there is design inconsistency, for example in the switch panel there is lot of free empty space on the bottom half and there is no point in having a slide down arrow to reveal just one row of switches. Furthermore it would have made sense to have the switches fill the bottom half, as it makes it easier for one hand usage. But i still prefer the the combined form which just two rows of switches and brightness option, while the rest hidden under the slide down.
- Thankfully the weather 4x2 widget is proper size, compared to the huge size on B506 and B014. But the transparent clock widget (first introduced on Honor 3c & 3x) is not yet available on this rom.
- The video player app is missing (and like others mentioned, the permission and startup apps manager, one hand option and navigation bar hiding option is missing too)
- I was hoping for changes in the "customize" section of the theme changer app. The old problem of swiping right/left a lot to get to the end of the lockscreen styles, or icons types, etc remains a burden.
- As someone said, its time to change the grey color of navigation bar. Either allow users to customize it, or have a number of colors that changes according to apps.
- In contacts "favorite" section, there is Chinese fonts.
- I don't think there is a need to have all the google apps pre-installed. Just a couple of them would be enough, while the rest can be downloaded from playstore.
- The water mark option in camera is nice. Cant find the "Cheeze" to take pics option. The photo editor is great and fun too. Video recorded on camera comes out dark. In case of taking selfie pics, once you hit the shoot button, the screen weirdly gets all yellow before taking the pic. Photos looks grainy too. But im no expert on camera, so i could be wrong.
- The Chinese rom had an app center app, and at times the latest version of the Huawei apps would be available on that. Such app updates are not available on this rom.
- The types of transition effects for homescreen keeps decreasing with every new rom update, when instead we should be getting newer ones added.
- The homescreen icons on this rom appear slightly bigger compared to them on the Chinese rom. Can be noticed when applying emui2.0 theme icons on this emui2.3 launcher.
Good and bad in B510
Good
- Magazine lockscreen is really good. I like it, hope more themes are like that.
- I like the splitting of drop down panel into two "notification" and "switches". But I hope they could have a setting to enable/disable it.
- Floating apps are awesome.
- Torch in notifications is very useful.
- Ultra power saving mode changes UI to dark black --> seems convincing that it will save battery life. Overall this rom has decent battery life.
- External SD settings
Bad
- Just hope that when I use other music players it can get the controls on the lock screen. Also, if there was a music slider to skip a few seconds of music was available on lockscreen that would be good.
- Hope that the default launcher could have a drawer. Having all the apps on the screen is messy.
- The radio widget still isn't transparent while the other huawei widgets are. It stands out and looks ugly.
- No permissions manager. It blocks facebook chatheads by default because it draws over other apps. No way to unblock it because permission settings are missing.
- The grey color of navigation bar is horrendous. Hopefully they notice this and they make it black or able to customize.
- Camera pictures look grainy.
- GPS still sucks. Don't know if it is a hardware issue.
- No ART mode
Other
- I don't know what to think about the carrier name. I feel like it's ok, don't hate it or like it.
The carrier name HAS to go! Why do they need to put it there anyway?
I agree with @warea about the notification panel that is better in Emui 2.0. Having it separate could work if you can change the settings of how you want it to be opened.
I find that the rom is a bit laggy most of the time, but for a beta I can live with it.

The carrier name it's something new for this update. And everything else it's really just a matter of opinion. The most important thing is that this ROM must run smooth and fast without any lag when it will be released as official/final. Everything else is just customization that can be added or removed by rooting and installing third party apps.
Also noticed, my phone is really hot, even for simple use. And the battery is really bad on this rom.

OmniSwitch and Note 4 Screen Resize Features

Is there a Rom or Intl Rom(9005) which have Note 4 features for our beloved Note 3. Any idea OmniSwitch works as intended on TouchWiz? I am sticking with AOSP PAC and missing the S Pen, Camera and One Hand.

Yeah, actually I am using OmniSnitch on my N3 and it works great. I actually found the app as an inclusion (system app) in the ROM that I flashed on the Note 10.1 2014 (p607t). The ROM is xKat, and was actually built for the p605 (international LTE variant), but awesomely, the hardware that T-Mobile sells is simply a re-branded p605 so any development work for the p605 works fine on the Tmo hardware :good:
Anyway, OmniSnitch is a great, super-useful app. I actually froze flashbarservice and replaced the multi window feature on the side of my screen with OmniSnitch, Flippr (another awesome app that allows you to access widgets or shortcuts from any page - even games. Crazy useful for "remote" widgets like Yatse, AnyMote, etc.) and PIE.
I'm not really sure about your first question, as I'm a Tweaked devotee, but can definitely confirm that OmniSnitch works fantastically, I don't see why it couldn't be installed on any phone / ROM. I don't think it even needs root.
@jazzmachine Thats great! Is there a HALO kind of thing available for TouchWIZ Note?
Why yes there is, and I happen to use it since it's much more versatile than split windows or pen windows. I was actually going to mention that in my last post, guess I should have :laugh:
Just installing the XHalo xposed module gets the job done. One example of a nice feature it adds is that if you open up an app via tapping on a notification, no matter if your at your launcher or have any app running, the app will open up in a window on top of whatever app you're using at the time. If you long tap a notification, in addition to being able to open App Info, you now also have the option to "open the app normally", which is self explanatory.You can also select a group of frequently used apps and tick the option to display them in the notification panel, then you can insta-launch them in a halo window from anywhere. After installing the XHalo module, don't reboot yet because there's one more module you need (for full functionality.... Halo works w/o it, but the windows won't be resizeable or movable, like they're supposed to be, if you don't also install the module "FixVisabilityOfMultipleFullScreenActivites". Basically what that one does is it fixes the visibility of multiple full screen activities.
JK, well, that is what it does, but the effect is that Halo works properly. Before installing that my halo windows were always statically positioned in the center of the screen and the didn't have the bar at the top that allows moving or resizing the window. It also allows you to open multiple Halo windows, IOW, it just fixes Halo to act like it's supposed to. If your setup is similar to mine, and you "repurpose" the edges of your screen, and you don't really use native mutliwindow (I have a ton of apps installed, and since certain ROMS (Tweaked) auto-add all apps to the sidebar and penwindow launcher, particularly the latter would take like, a while, to launch. There's no lag whatsoever with this modified (and more functional IMO) setup. Anyway, I was going to recommend freezing flashbarservice (multi window) in Titanium of something. For me, doing that released a good chunk of RAM, so if you don't use, or are trying to replace the multi-window functionality, definitely freeze if you're not using. Additionally, the frees the long press back for reassignment to another function, should you be inclined to do so. I reassign the hell out of my hard keys, even adding an activity to just pulling the S pen out and pushing it back in.
Modified S Pen functionality is the last thing I'll describe about my setup, so that this time I can answer before you ask I REALLY like GMD S Pen Control. I turned off air command, and have been working on and off on configuring that app with the goal of being able to launch anything (even obscure "secret code" menus) just by scribbling something on my screen. It's awesome, you just have to get into the habit of using the paths that you've configured regularly so that you don't forget them. So far I've just configured launching frequently used apps and settings toggles (the app also allows you to create, I think 5 launcher bars w/ 8 items (actions, tasks, shortcuts, toggles, a ton of stuff) each of which you can launch, of course, with a pen path).
So with my setup, I've pretty much taken the "Touch" out of the "Wiz".... wait, no, the "Wiz" ou... err, that's much worse. OK, first and last time using any variation of that description. what I'm saying here is that the TW "features" that I've replaced could be used on any device / ROM... so perhaps I've got my eye on an Nexus 6. Well, it was in my field of vision when I was playing with the N4 in the store yesterday (I can't resist activating dev mode on store demos... I mean I like to take a look at the settings there, but it's a thing.... if I pick up a demo model, I'm in About device tapping on the build #) on the N4 I was surprised to see that one of the first options was toggling the runtime between Dalvik and ART, but I didn't think the N4 was able to use ART yet, so I turned it on and the phone rebooted... I then saw the guy who's helped me out the most there was free so I went over to talk to him and ask a few questions and I forgot to check out the N4 set to ART before I took off. Really wish I did, but whatevers. I'll likely have my very own (hand picked perfection, totally perfect uniform display :victory:
So that was pretty OT, this a little less, but a complaint that I keep seeing about the N4 is lag with the recents panel launched. OmniSnitch seems like the perfect app to avoid that issue. For those unfamiliar, OmniSnitch is launched via a persistent (customizeable) half bubble / handle thing. A bar opens up (on any screen) and first you have a row of recently used apps. You can also assign persistent "favorites" that you can launch by tapping the arrow below the row of app icons, and you can immediately switch to a previous app or launch a favorite instanly - Lag + recent apps + OmniSnitch = complete non-issue. Attached a couple screen of how it looks (I don't think the app icons would be themed if you don't use Unicon, I'm not really sure about the general availability of this app. I actually pulled it off of the ROM that I installed on my Note 10.1 - so system app on tablet, but user app on phone. Works the same either way. I'd be happy to upload it, but don't feel like I should do so without permission from... I have no idea. Searching the Play store, the only result is called Fancy Switcher, which looks like a not so successful attempt to copy the app and (unnecessarily IMO) 'fancy it up'. Meh. So hopefully it's available on xda somewhere, but if anyone happens to know the dev if they could ask if they mind their app being shared in this thread, then write up a statement to that effect, both of you sign it (in blood), and send it to me via certified mail... I don't know. If people want it but can't find it, try to find out if it's FOSS, or GPLed or something, just post in here and if it's cool I'm happy to share

[ROM][SHARE][Redmi 1s] Flyme ui 4.5.4.5r custom rom based on 5.1.1 lollipop [11/02/20

Here I'm just sharing the ROM which I found very interested and stable enough!! Thanks to droidfull and multirom team for their works on Redmi 1s
REDMI 1S- FLYME 4.5.4.5R CUSTOM ROM
Flyme OS is a heavily modified Android variant developed by the Meizu team for their MX smartphone line. This variant is based on Android 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP and offers a few unique solutions that this Chinese OEM created for their project. And in the eyes of many, this OS is quite beautiful and almost every piece of the ROM and its UI elements have been themed to match Meizu’s philosophy.
Flyme 4.0 has a set of Flyme icons for hundreds of the most popular apps. Personally I’m not that keen on the Flyme icons as they appear to large, but Meizu had thought about that and switching from Flyme to standard icons is as simple as flicking a switch.
All your apps are arranged on the home screens of Flyme 4.0, there is no app draw, a common feature with all the ROMs here. To keep things tidy we have a dock for our most used 4 apps and other icons can be arranged in folders.
Flyme 4.0’s new notification area now extends the full length of the screen with a transparent background. Quick settings are also available here and can be customised and arranged to suit your needs.
Head in to the main settings of Flyme and things haven’t changed all that much from Flyme 3.0. There are some new colours and the switch icons are the same, but the rest of the UI remains unchanged.
From the settings we can switch between English, Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. Flyme developers have also added some gesture options on the lock screen which they call “smart wake” in the settings. The options include double tap to wake, slide up to unlock, slide left to enter the camera and swipe right to open an app of your choice.
Some apps in Flyme 4.0 have been given an refresh with a simple new look and brighter colours, while the camera app has been completely reworked to offer new features and all new UI.

It was a super solid stable build... Had not even a single issue.. Using it for more than 3 days....
Main features of attraction
1.runs latest Flyme ui + lp 5.1.1 beneath
2.camera especially
3.music no breaks or glitches at all
4.tools
5.Google builtin integration
6.stability
In my case battery is average but much better than miui.
For that I'm using gods kernel 5...(have to try v6 yet).. Now the bettery performance is also super Cool
Lovn it...
I need those Off screen gestures ....

Bro.. I do have a Meizu m2 note with me...and I do love those off screen gestures(but drains some battery too)... And I'm not the dev for this ROM original devs are chainese...Multirom.me.. and I don't think our kernel does support all those screen gestures... (not present in Redmi note 3g & 4g builds too)..if you want to have wake gestures try any custom kernels with those features...
Yup I too came to know that now.
Thanks for the share buddy...
Btw, where are the button settings???
Hello all,
I am using the rom since 2 days.
I found this...
cons :
1. First of all there is no lockscreen notifications. We all love this feature from Lollipop. these notifications are introduced in Flyme 5. but flyme 5 isn't ported to our device yet..
2. We cant select two different ringtones for each sim card. Some people like me may need this..
3. There isn't any clock widget
4. Themes app wasn't translated to English yet..
5. There is no option for selecting different actions for buttons. (If it is there, how to do that..?)
6. No quick settings from Notification bar tiles. (I mean you cant go to the respective settings if long press a tile on the status bar)
7. Smart touch is not actually what Meizu mobiles have. (we have one big dot on the screen. So we have to tap or double tap the dot to do the actions. It wont work if the Screen is locked. But in Meizu mobiles it works even screen is locked and we can also select our desired gesture (Off screen) to open our desired app (or unlock or something else..)
8. There no HDR option in camera.. (why?)
===============
pros :
1. A big pro in this rom is THERE IS NO AUDIO PAUSE BUG. (yes...!)
2. UI is very nice and simple
3. Animations are good. (I like the animation while charging)
4. Performance is very good compared to others. (with no mods) I didn't find any lag.
5. Dolby atoms is already there (no need to install again). Sound is awesome

Yes that was a nice review bro..
As you mentioned 3.clock... It was present in the previous build which was a weather come clock widget...which was displayed in chainese only... May b the dev thought of removing for that reason.
.and 4.theme...in my case (I have my Meizu a/c) so can access theme store (but in chainese as u mentioned) can't apply thremes...and can't sync data with Flyme a/c.... Once again thanx for reviewing about this rom on my thread

There is some problem with contacts syncing. When I try to sync, only those contacts get synced which I recently merged(to avoid duplicity). They are just 3, and I have over 800 contacts. Please help.

newbe question regarding level of customization with no rooted phone

If i do not root the telephone, can I use personalized widgets and themes?
Sorry for the quite trivial question but I do not have Samsung experience

Absolutely! That's the great thing about Android. You can even choose to go with something completely different than Samsung's launcher. There's lots of different launchers that support themes. Nova and Apex are two popular options. Themes are also available for Samsung.
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk
1. Launcher and theme as mention above.
2. Ads free by Adguard on Play Store.
3. Disable almost apps anf module you want by EZ Disable Package or Package Disable Pro
4. Change dpi by Content Scaling or some commands through adb

I prefer not to root or tinker with my primary business phone because I don't want to have something not work as intended and miss a call or appointment.
The level of customization you can do with launchers and themes these days is almost on par with what you can achieve with a rooted device.
In addition to themes you can also download and install custom icon packs to customize the look of all of your icons.
For widgets you can get something like the Beautiful Widgets app that lets you customize various widgets for the device. It is very popular for people who like the HTC type clock widget look on their home screens.
Just do some searches on the play store for themes, icon packs, widgets, keyboards, etc and there are enough customization options to make your head spin.
For Home screens / App drawer / Folder, any Launcher will do. My all time fav, and most reliable recommendation is easily Nova Launcher.
- Nova lets you customize the font size, label colours, icon sizes, icon packs, homescreen grid, app drawer grid, homescreen gestures and so much more.
For custom button remapping, Button Remapper works perfectly without root. It will let you set custom actions for your physical buttons (swap the recent/back if you wish, or add hold functionality)
- The app is a bit limited without root in regards to added functionality, but its something!
- I believe the non-rooted version also allows you to map volume keys to add Music skip / pause functionality. (Correct me if im wrong!)
For global app / service disabling, definitely use Package Disabler Pro. It has a built in list of (currently) 97 apps considered unneeded, and gives you full control of every app.
- This has been proven to save battery btw!
For added Toggles in the Notification panel (not QuickPanel) there are hundreds of working apps that add their own little notification bar, fully interactive, that shows up as a notification card.
- It may seem a bit redundant considering Samsung's built in QuickPanel does mostly everything, but for a few things that may be missing (ie. Hotspot, Mobile Data, or specific functions like opening apps, setting gps/data to specific modes etc).
For ad blocking, you can use AdGuard. I havent personally tried this app, but it is highly recommended by most users in this forum.
For button backlight disabling / modding, you can use Button Backlight 2.
- It allows you to turn off button backlight completely, add a custom time, or have them on all the time
Android is so vastly open, even without root, if you ever feel like you are missing a certain function / feature, theres a very high chance that a solution would have been made long ago.
It never hurts to google what you wish to do. When I first got my Note 5 for example, the first phone with button backlights, I wanted to turn them off completely as well as swap the layout of them from recents home back, to back home recents. A few minutes later and I found myself using the two apps mentioned above, and a happy camper!
well it looks like I am really grateful to samsung to give me the possibilities under the hood. My dev friends scared me in every way saying that touch wiz is bloatware, that people think is really taking the control of the system, instead I found it effective, and most important of all I am happy samsung is not taking coltan from congolese mines.
I am also really grateful to you.
which tutorial do you recommend me to customize my themes? if there is an app, Gui super, otherwise I am also an android developer, so do not mind also to write some java/xml. Also i guess there is some design involved, which software should i use photoshop or gimp? Last but not least, as I use to test my apps, installing a lot of themes will decrease the perform, or the fact that is run one per time will not affect performance? thank you guys. Customization is everything for me, as bosters creativity and make the day more exciting
EDIT: I am wondering if downloading themes is safe in terms of malicious code.

Which ROM has monthly security update?

Hi I'm using whyred redmi note 5 pro.
With miui 12.1 xiaomi.eu 20.6.18 beta and stock kernel.
Android 9. Orange Fox recovery.
2020-07-05 Android security patch level.
I liked to dirty flash because of only few steps.
Just download, flash, install magisk, wipe.
Then I can get new monthly security path.
I'm already used this way for almost 1 year.
Eu team stop weekly updating this device now so I just want to change to stable version.
But the stable Eu rom's update date showed in Eu website is not new.
So I want to change new rom with monthly security update.
Before doing this, do I need to change recovery?
I've heard about the difference between Android 9 and Android 10.
I really don't know how to join in,
I remember in Android 8 up to Android 9 I changed to orange Fox recovery.
Now so many roms in this forum is Android 10.
Is that easy from 9 to 10 from recovery wiping and flashing?
And which rom is your favorite and recommended?
I will try it in my leisure time. Thank you.

Official LOS have weekly if they have lucky :laugh:, havoc and crdroid have montly I think
First of all, apology for my bad English. Need a lot of effort to understand my words.
I used miui 12 before. There are battery saver, permission controller, app behavior history
and internet tracking in miui 12.
So you can give game app blank data to play game, find out why this hour battery losing too much,
reject permission asked too often and restrict background data uploading/downloading.
But all thing are gone in custom android 10 rom.
Gallery can't let you write down words or edit picture like miui.
I install few roms and share my feeling to you. My opinions are very personall.
Not suitable to everyone.

crDroidAndroid v6.9
My first rom, first thought is there is no fullscreen gesture?
This is my first custom rom, so a lot of thought between miui 12 and custom rom.
Volume bar too short.
https://imgur.com/a/x0Fmlzd
See that? My finger is too big that I can't see it. I can't see where I adjust. Just like asus rog 3.
Pick up ringtone music and plug in 3.5mm headphone.
Heard voice from speaker and headphone. Why??
Press volume down button and no AI choose which volume to control.
Volume control is a mess.
Android 9 to 10 is very smooth though. Easier than I think.
8/5 security patch. So I get my goal.
There are so many options and very cool design than miui rom in power button.
No night light to let me protect eyes.
Maybe I don't find it. Too many settings. And settings search is bad.
I try to open developer mode to use cmd.
In miui 12 press miui version few times then developer options appeared.
In android 10 is pressing that build number few times.
lineage-17.1
Second rom
Everything is the same as crDroidAndroid without its own settings to customize.
Volume bar is bad as crDroid rom and latter I find out all rom are the same.

Long press power button for torch.
Volume button wake up phone.
My redmi note 3 pro's power button is broken.
So I really need volume button to wake up phone to avoid that.
Double tap status bar to sleep. WoW~
Slide statue bar to adjust brightness. WOWWWWW~~~~
Power button is the same good. Support reboot to recovery.
Night light.
Lock screen shortcut support.
There is an charging animation but I don't see any animation when I plug in charger.
https://imgur.com/a/dZAvtxY

Aicp, AospExtended, ZenX-OS are more customize.
Black theme and color in notification are good, only this rom has black theme.
There are no 8/5 security patch and small windows.
Via browser installed. hmm....no thought.
Battery saver turn on and it said off. Still the same as others. Bug

If you disable this you can get more screen view.
But I can't use back function.
And I will lose some view space. Worse than miui 12.
And now. I can't go back to eu miui.
Orangefox recovery can't restore my data.
I think the reason is android 9 and 10 maybe.
I will find some time to think about kernel or other thing to do.
ZenX-OS 1.8[STABLE] is my choice by the way.

To go back to MIUI use fastboot ROM and flash it with MI Flasher tool -- important or you can brick your phone !!
Most of ROMs are based on LOS ROM.
I'm happy user of LOS ROM (official).
I never use fingers on bars (like volume, etc..) I'm using buttons. You can even extend steps with easy hack (module).
Power button action is always settupable ( like long press on screen off is gonna turn torch on, run camera on lock screen, extended power menu, etc). Same vol+ and vol - buttons (wake up phone, take screenshot,etc). Well and much more. All under settings. You didn't use it long time couse you wanna MIUI experience on other ROMs. You can forget that. LOS is Android ROM without balast.
You can load apps later if you want (gapps, full screen guestures, dual apps, etc). Its up to user decision and habits.
Don't compare ROMs like you did. Try to use it at least 1 week and mybe you'll discover some of the magic of ROM. I saw module to make for vol bars horizontally and big as hell even my grany could see that..( mybe you can try xposed app gravitybox to adds some extra options).
Good luck.
Thank you to tell me that. I will delete miui backup.
When I want to flash phone, I need to adb cmd to order phone.
Then I faced this problem.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...missions-request-settings-cant-verify-your-re
Then I turn of night light and hide gesture navigation bar then ok.
This problem is to wired.
So I need to make a decision between android 9 and 10.
Rotate landscape or portrait function is more good than android 9.
Show a small icon in right bottom, press to change.
Long screenshot in miui 12 always failed and bug still exist in beta until now.
So I'm very appreciated to XDA guys. Android 10 is more better.
I saw the screenshot package name is asus....uh?
Another problem is I can't use link2sd app to move user app to system app.
Link2sd is over.
It's just like you use Iphone before, and then you change to android phone.
You finally understand what is customizing your own phone, not stupid to use stock phone UI like Iphone anymore.
When I come to join in this android 10 custom rom party, I found out there are too many settings and I don't understand every options meaning.
So after 3 days I try it again.
https://ibb.co/wyJSwKw
I don't like this.
Why is there a space under keyboard?
Uh...This fullscreen gesture is so wired.
So I need to get a solution to fix this.
After 2 days using ZenX-OS.
Google news pushed a notification.
https://www.xda-developers.com/resu...android-10-xiaomi-oneplus-samsung-google/amp/
ok...that's try it.
Ui is like other lineage roms.
AudioFX app to control headphone I guss so.
8/5 security patch.
Build date Aug 19 2020 ? wow last week.
It's own settings is more good than others. I mean UI is more human friendly.
Yeah After so many roms I flashed, my brain is burning. Too many settings omg.
https://imgur.com/a/Noyu7nb
Just like this ui.
If you don't find some feature like 3 finger swipe down to screenshot?
In Resurrection Remix Version 8.5.8 you will find setting easily.
Just search screenshot.
Crdroid rom's ui is fine too.
And I find out how to fix keyboard and fullscreen gesture problem.
https://imgur.com/a/fxOtFFN
Thx god. We made it.
Finally when I key any words, no space under keyboard.
Why do we have two phone app? Plus recent app, we have 3 phone app here.

Bug?
After I flash Resurrection Remix rom, some shadow in screen while rebooting.
Just like amoled screen problem usually, But my redmi note 5 is lcd screen.
I choice lcd screen specially for this, so impossible happened.
Boot in system, than check screen is ok.
So this is a bug? I don't know.
The most biggest bug is.
After you use recovery, sometime phone will ask you to write lock pattern to start Android.
And Resurrection Remix rom has so tiny dot that too small so you can't draw pattern to unlock phone.
I just try it so many times to unlock. WTF !!
This rom is the most bug I'v ever seen.
Yeah in developer's eyes, it's not bug.
But to user, it's strange. Two phone app? Two clock app? Two browser?
Battery icon show strange dot? And latter I found out other rom will get this bug too.
https://streamable.com/y9vyco
Roms in XDA, settings just like something different parts and combine together.
It cost too much time for noob like me.
This rom is special. But bug is the most strange one.
After 2 days using ZenX-OS, app icon in status bar is wired, data transfer in usb to pc is broken, fingerprint is too difficult to unlock screen. Reboot into recovery to copy other rom.
Change to aicp rom to use
4 hours use.
Anything perfect, and you can block ad in settings, I try few websites and work very well.
there is a default music enhance app let speaker can not be turned to small voice.
So don't use it.
Fullscreen gesture under virtual keyboard can not be disable.
Partial screenshot is not worked. But it doesn't matter.
Change to SuperiorOS-Phoenix to use.
uh...pokemon pikachu voice after reboot phone. lolllll
Via browser.
Lawnchair launcher.
Fullscreen gesture default. But SuperiorOS even has no this option to hide gesture back function space in keyboard.
So...pass it.
DerpFest-10-Official-whyred-20200424.zip
Too old to me. Not new.
I think I need to find rom which I flashed before.
ZenX-OS 1.8 no gesture option like SuperiorOS so pass.
CrDroid has Pie settings navigation mode.
Just like I played it in Android 4.4.3. Or you can chose its very strange swipe up navigation gesture mode.
Havoc OS is like ZenX-OS and SuperiorOS no fullscreen gesture. pass
Try out pixel experience rom
PixelExperience rom.
Wow 08/21 update
Finally I got Hide the navigation bar pill toggle to off it.
And no space under keyboard. I got my goal.
You can't use wifi display aka miracast.
you can't screenshot.
Uh...why? I just Want this gesture
So if I want to hide bar pill I need to use rom with so many bad thing.
Pixel experience or Resurrection Remix 8.5.7.
I want to give aicp rom a try. I remember there is a option.
https://imgur.com/a/q9LiOre
No this hide region of back function in keyboard no worked indeed.
I...
I use Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 then.
Hope I can draw that small pattern to unlock...sigh
https://imgur.com/a/ZDs2tMT
See this? Who can draw it ?????
sigh
There is no shadow in screen before reboot this time. Thank god.
But still 2 clock, 2 contacts, 2 message, 2 phone.
I don't flash any gaaps.
It's flash super gaaps itself?
But I need fullscreen gesture. I choice this rom now.
https://imgur.com/a/WHq2Amf
Continue facing more problem.
Screen lock in NOVA LAUNCHER is easy.
I just set gesture to swipe up to lock screen.
And swipe up from bottom to call app drawer.
But now this problem below.
https://help.teslacoilapps.com/faq/gesture-navigation
So suck.
So my question is why I can use NOVA launcher in miui 12 android 9,
and now I can't do this.
Give it a try.
Move NOVA LAUNCHER to /system.
Then delete GOOGLE LAUNCHER in /system.
Guess what?
App switcher while you swipe up and hold function is not worked.
So the fullscreen gesture is in GOOGLE launcher.
OMG...
So how to get my goal. Lock screen gesture? Over here.
https://imgur.com/a/sci0quw
Set this to back gesture and hold for a while to lock gesture.
But I miss miui 12 feature that you can back gesture and hold to back to last app.
So strange. You can just copy miui 12 fullscreen gesture.
Then delete that two gaaps in Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 while they have 2 app the same.
Delete contact, browser, message, etc.
And OK now.
I am facing new problem.
Pressing power button to lock screen is work with instantly close phone option.
Back gesture and hold to lock screen to lock, 5 sec latter vibrate 1 time.
And if you let phone face you and lock screen, face unlock function will process.
So something inside cause this bug.
https://ibb.co/J28P5vz
Turn it off, then no vibration after screen off by back gesture.
But face unlock function still work.
Uh...No solution. I'm done.
That means every time I swipe to lock phone, Phone work for 5 sec for trying to unlock.
The one last thing I can't fix is when I use keyboard, try to use swipe space button to move cursor. Swith app function let whole Window follow my finger and want to switch app.
So I need to press more up a little to move cursor avoid that.
After so many problem in Android 10.
I'm OK now.
Still need to say, why Google don't just use miui 12 full screen gesture?
While I blame on Android 10,
off course Miui 12 beta is not perfect.
Long screenshot never work and they pretend the fuction is OK for almost 7 month.
Rotation feature is bad after experience Android 10.
Dark theme in gmail, Google assistant, Google play in Android 10.
I can get skip to direct unlock pattern in Android 10 now. I can just draw pattern to unlock. No need to swipe up then unlock.
I remember I can directly unlock pattern few years ago.
Now I get this feature back.
https://ibb.co/pzZ6t3s
Facing new bug. Turn on mobile data network then phone reboot.
Do not flash Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 if you want to try these bugs.
MSM Xtended XQ Release v12.5
Back gesture and hold to lock screen will instantly lock.
aicp_whyred
Corvus_v8.5-Sage
Keyboard the same problem. Space under keyboard.
EvolutionX_4.6 and Pixys OS Q
GJ toggle off IME button space and pill.
GO in Pixys OS Q rom then phone blink all the time. Uh...my eyes...
I look around then yeah it's cool. You can disable IME button space and pill.
My eyes....
So now we have pixel experience, EvolutionX_4.6, Pixys OS Q and Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 can do this.
Pixel experience no screenshot and miracast pass.
Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 bug too many pass.
Pixys OS Q blinking screen pass.
EvolutionX_4.6 can't skip notification to draw pattern directly, but it's ok~
Uh I have no back gesture and hold to lock screen or skip notification to swipe pattern directly features in EvolutionX from.
And even no record voice app in ROM.
What should I do. How to combine all feature in one from.
I remember Pixys OS Q has two rom to download.
So try to download another rom to use.
There are gaaps inside and the other is not.
Both are blink while I pull down notification.
So I need to decide which rom to use... Every rom has its own feature and I can't find the balance.
I'm curious for one new thing.
All these android 10 roms don't have MTP mode to link to PC.
why?
I use Masik P Port now thx all.
Masilk P Port rom can't use Wifi display.
Gonna find other rom to use...Uh...
2020 09/27
There are a lot of telegram channel. So many people help me.
Now I'm using panda kernel and resurrection remix 8.6.1
2020 10/11
8.6.2 resurrection remix 10.1 agni kernel 7.0 agni firmware
I don't like pixel launcher. But android 10 fullscreen gesture need it.
I use Action launcher v46. Try to replace pixel launcher.
But no home gesture and recent app gesture function.
Swipe up to home page, swipe up and hold to see recent app.
These both is only in pixel launcher.
Come on Google, the most important feature is third party launcher.
With thrid party launcher we can do our own style phone.
Now you tell me only pixel launcher can use fullscreen gesture?
Ridiculous "dock search box" and sucked "at a glance" let the whole phone stupid.
Very genius google. :/
