Hello guys,
I am quite impressed by my fathers zenfone 2 and it's double tap to wake feature.
I know there are some apps on the play store that do emulate this feature, but that's not what i'm looking for.
My s4 505 is rooted and a stock TW lollipop rom is installed (well, almost custom with all the xposed mods installed )
I am wondering if there is a kernel that does support this feature ?
I've been searching quite a lot but I can't find it in any kernel's description. Doesn't this exist for the s4 (with a TW lollipop rom) or am I just a bad searcher ?
Thanks in advance,
nxss4
It doesn't. It causes too much battery drain since it's a port and the device was not designed with this feature in mind.
Your only option is to use gestures (like waving) to wake up the device.

Hi everyone,
I've searched this forum for a while to find out a way to get real toggle on the notification bar.
I mean, when using froyo, I had no problem with apps like elixir or widgetsoid (each toggle can be clicked and the action was performed) but since I've upgraded to 2.3.4, those apps are buggy and it seems that each bar is considered as only one button and brings a other popup to chose which button to toggle...
It seems that it is like this in 2.3.4, but I've found this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559498
But works only with Xperia... (I've replace my systemUI.apk with theirs but it does not work at all)
Does anyone know how to get a statusbar toggle that works fine..
I heard about MIUI but I am really not sure to move to alternate ROM (because of still missing functionalities)
Regards
Manitooo
I don't know any toggles that work with official 2.3, but you should try different custom ROMs. After the first time I used a custom ROM, I've never used a official one, they're usually much lighter, have better duration of the battery, and CM7/MIUI are very stable (I've never experienced a crash with MIUI on my M2, and I'm using it for 3~4 months).
If you don't like them, you can always come back to official 2.3 (or 2.2, if you feel it was better because of the toggles).
Thanks for your answer.
I have a friend (with an Xperia) that had the same problem nd which has been solved by the thread I posted above...
For the MIUI CM7, I clearly don't understand perfectly what is it CM vs MIUI are they competitor / alternative / complementory.....
and what are functional
what should I do to use MIUI / CM7 (I've read about nandroid, how to backup, what to backup and what are the things that I will lost..; HW acc, and so on)..
regards
Manitooo
In the Android Developent area of the forum there are a lot of good tutorials (usually in the thread of the rom) that explain how to change ROMs / downgrade the kernel (necessary for MIUI + tezet's CM7). Neither MIUI nor CM7 have the alt lock functionality on the keyboard (not much of a big deal, you can press alt twice and it's the same) and the 720p recording. If the absence of 720p recording is a big problem for you, you can always try MS2Ginger or Argen2Stone ROMs, they allow recording in 720p.

I found the time to upgrade the ROM of my Milstone2 with a CM9... (the last version seems perfect)... and It is clearly a new phone..; more reactive and lower consumption.
really impress by the works made for the cyanogen mod !
some tweaks to do , some bugs here and there but clearly the best mod ever..
For the recording in 720p, no problem since the last july version of CM9
Hi guys,
Not sure what to search for(I've done a bit and couldn't find what I was after) so sorry if this has been answered before.
I'm wanting to make my device more nexusy/googly ie get the stock settings back etc. I've frozen most of the samsung apps and enabled softkeys through build.prob and a few other changes.
Couple of things I want would be the google home button circle gestures where you press and hold the soft home button and the ring pops up - at present this doesn't do anything at all.
I'd also like to either modify the settings to either appear less Samsungy or to replace with the stock settings.
Not sure if this is possible but just thought I'd throw it out there. I'm not keen on using a custom ROM that's touchwiz based as I don't really want to make any changes I don't know about and CM has some bugs that I'm not really happy to live with.
If anyone wonders why I'm asking(ie 'why didn't you just buy a nexus') I've recently fell out of love with Sammy due to some of their strategic decisions eg Tizen among other things so it's more recent - and since I rooted to improve battery power I thought I'd see what I could do.

I haven't seen any bug free custom compiled ROMs for the Note 3 at all, kind of touched the topic of custom ROMs in my post above.
Only bug free ROMs I've seen are Samsung based ROMs.
I'm sure if working AOSP ROMs were all groovy and functionally, CM wouldn't have so many issues at this point and AOKP wouldn't be using CM as a base.

It depends. I've been using an AOSP base for a couple of months already and it's great.
Just to know if you guys want something for my rom​
Battery Life. Even Underclocking isn't increasing battery life with BORETS24's kernel, do something that'll increase the SOT ! I don't get more than 3 hours of SOT with any ROM, Kernel.
Stable gps during using waze or other gps app....no more gps lost connection plz
i would expect a simple build, with no bloadware and of course stable even with a a501cg. iirc most problem are with that device.
list of expectations(mine and the others)
- stable
- no bloadware
- simple installing/autoinstaller (there is a simple-to-customize autoinstaller mentioned in this forum)
- possible to choose gapps installing by choice in one install process.
- gps
- led functional
- battery life
Simple Rom (like a pizza without any topping. User can select toppings )
Stability (GPS, wifi, data connection, bluetooth, and of course the device itself. Sudden restart is really terrible.)
DT2W/S
Battery life
LED with color (if possible)
I'd love to have another UI. To get the CM12.1 drop-down menu instead of Asus one.
Provide and alternative to borets' kernel: it has great features, but for me was and keeps to be more battery eating (I think due to the dt2w and overclock integration) than even a stock one.

Installed CM12.1 your version found at windroidica website and found some bugs. Can't set contacts photos, it always says "No pictures on phone". Can't leave a comment on videos through youtube app and. No editor found in Gallery app? I need some help because I just flashed this rom yesterday.
if based on stock..
remove all bloatware..
pre rooted..
pre xposed..
g apps as separate package..
ota for future updates..
adb sideloadable..
the list is unlimited..
Hey guys,
up till today I'm still using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Android 4.3.
It is modded to the max to exactly meet my needs and "paranoia":
- Custom Rom TouchWiz based rom
- Custom Kernel with some special script based tweaks (for example: MAC randomization everytime I turn Wifi on - handy for time limited free access points and to prevent beeing tracked etc.)
- Full Disk Encryption with a password different than my unlock pin (so when the device is off it requires a long password, but when on only a shorter pin)
- Xposed with the "old" Xprivacy Pro, Greenify and lots of other useful modules (like device shutdown after x failed amounts of unlock password etc)
- Lightning Launcher (allows "pinned" widgets that do not scroll - like the clock always beeing shown on top of all my homescreens) and custom widgets made with UCCW
- Button mods (double tap menu button turns on/off auto rotation, long menu switches last two apps, long back kills foreground app etc.) and homebutton mod to turn on flashlight when held while device is locked (to turn it on blindly / without looking)
- Sidebar Launcher Appsi for all my apps (and using xprivacy to prevent certain apps from showing up in the list at all)
... etc etc.
It took me a long time to set up everything and whenever I bought a new phone I sold it soon after because they never could be modded that hard like my old note 3 could be. (not to mention the built in batteries - I HATE that so much about all new devices).
Long story short: The Mi A1 could maaaaybe finally be the device to replace my Note 3 - but for that I need to be able to really mod it hard again hehe.
What really is important to me is beeing able to use xposed and xprivacy (unfortunately the xprivacy lua is not that good as the old one as far as it reads in the description), controlling the device encryption with my own 20+ Character Passphrase while still having a shorter pin when the device is booted up (and it beeing "full device encryption" not just file based if that still exists?). Removing all google apps except the playstore (and the account manager - dont even want the google play services crap) and preferably beeing able to install modded playstore which does not autoupdate itself etc.

Do you guys think this is possible at all? And if so - should I stay with a 7.1.2 based rom or go for oreo? I mainly care about modability as I explained..
Hope someone is in the same boat or at least knows enough about this phone and the roms/kernels/availabe and working xposed mods to help me out.
There's pretty much no development for Nougat so it would be better if you were to get on oreo
Modabillity is pretty great with this phone so far
Look around on xda and see if you like it

but does xposed and stuff like modded playstore etc exist/work for oreo? and do you maybe know if its possible to have a different boot password than just the unlock pin when device is powered on?
and how about rootcloak and stuff like that? On my old note i can pretty much fake everything to apps and prevent root to be detected or feed them with fake data through xprivacy - but does this all still work to the same extend on the newer android versions? This safetynet bull**** has been around since when again? Can that still be fooled?

I'm not really sure about modded play store and boot password stuff but what I do know is that you can use Magisk (Similar to SuperSu + Extra useful mods) to hide root from certain apps that you choose
Xposed does work perfectly fine but it depends on the modules and whether they work on oreo. If not, magisk modules are also pretty good
If you happen to own a phone that you can flash Oreo on, (see, Lineage 15), then you can pretty much know and discover everything about Oreo and how modding works on it
Hi Mi Max'ers.
My name is Addy and I have been using Xiaomi MI Max [Hydrogen] for 2 years now. I do a lot of customization because being simple is boring .
I liked MIUI till MIUI 8 Nougat (Global ROM). After that there was not much improvement in MIUI ROMs and I could not customize much in the new MIUI 9 and 10 ROMs.
I mostly like system-wide black theme and black theme for all the apps.
So, I came to custom ROMs. I flash ROMs like crazy just to find the perfect one that fulfills my level of customization.
I found AEX [7.1.2] (AOSP Extended). It was good for about 5 months. Then I was having lot of issues one over the other.
One of the major problem was... All the widgets were getting disappeared when I turn on my phone after my phone shutdowns when the battery is dead. No matter what I tried, the problem did not solve. I'll have to restore my 10GB of Nandroid backup everytime it happened.
So I started to search for a new ROM. I wanted to go the the latest releases like Android PIE.
I tried almost a dozen of Android PIE ROMs. Unfortunately, all the ROMs that I have tried had one problem in common.
But exactly the camera and flashlight did not work. Many user were reporting this issue and some said the the camera would work after some time after reboot or it might work after few reboots. It was highly uncertain.
Since I love taking pictures, then I thought I have no choice and I have to go to MIUI again to the latest release (even though I experienced MIUI 10 is full of Bull crap.)
But I saw that Latest MIUI 10 global is still running on Android Nougat. So, I decided to go for Nougat based custom ROMs.
Now I ended up with final version of Resurrection Remix [7.1.2].
In my opinion, this ROM is by far the best and most customizable ROM that fulfilled me. So I am sharing my review on that.
For now I have installed around 85 user apps + Google apps micro package + Magisk and Xposed Modules.
ROM Link:
a. RESURRECTION REMIX [5.8.3] [DEPRECATED] - Thanks @sawdoctor.
-ROM thread.
-Post for download link.
b. AOSP Extended (AEX) - Thanks @Davehimself
-ROM thread.
Battery : ~8 hours of SOT
I think 8 hours SOT for a 2 year old phone is more than expected I guess considering my torture of my MI Max in the past with all the games in the past
I stopped playing games these days since I had to concentrate on my studies. So, I mostly watch youtube videos and listen to music. I hardly use any social media because it if filled with nothing but full of fake stuffs and promotional ads these days.
Camera: Best on so far - MIUI modded camera
I flashed MIUI modded camera so that I can use my favorite Camera and make fruitful memories:victory:.
I did not take good pictures recently. So, I have attached a HDR picture that I have taken few months ago when I was using MIUI camera.
I tried a lot of modded Google camera apks for features like night sight, HDR+, Portrait mode etc. But I got tired of searching/installing/uninstalling. So I think I will enjoy those features when I get a new phone instead of being greedy.
If anyone has working Google camera MOD for MI Max Hydrogen Nougat based ROM, kindly let me know in the discussion.
MIUI Camera: - Thanks @Arnova8G2.

CPU usage: ~ 50% of time in deep sleep according to EX Kernel manager.
I use ondemand governer for both Little and Big cluster.
I also have also set 1190 Mhz for Big cluster for saving some juice.
I did not tewak GPU settings.
I have only Double tap to wake setting turned on.
Memory Usage:
At first only when I installed only the ROM, without Masigk or GAPPS... Astonishingly, the total free RAM was ~1900 MB!
After setting up all my apps customizations, now the free RAM after clearing recents is around ~ 1200 MB!
I know the unused RAM is wasted RAM. But in previous ROMs, I used to have only 500 MB of RAM or so as free RAM. So it was nearly impossible for me to multi-task.
I am really surprised with the RAM management in this ROM!
But, I still have some apps freezed in Titanium backup + I hibernate some user apps in greenify.
Customization and MODs:
I utilized almost all the features the configurations option in RR ROM settings. My favorites are:
- Recents and Notification panel blurs.
- Customized lockscreen using "Lock screen wigdets [L-M]" xposed module.
- disabling quicktiles (GravitiyBox) and power menu in Lockscreen (This is a major securty issue for me in MIUI ROM. They removed the option to disable these from marshmallow! Now, It is much easier for the thief to steal the phone and switch off/ turn to silent mode!)
- I totally disable mods of the ads in my phone. I use adaway + "MinMinGuard" xposed module for systemwide ad blocking and I use Mozilla firefox with uBolck Origin addon to block ads in browser.
-and other bunch of stuffs.
One thing I was not satisfied after switching from AEX is the quality of VIPER4ANDROID soundmod.
I installed the same module. but somehow I could feel the different effect. I will have to adapt to this I guess.
I have shared the screenshots so that you can see it for yourselves .
Thanks for Reading.
Feel free to share your opinions/mods/etc.. So, that we can use our MI Max to the most fullest way possible
Thank you very much for sharing your experience, that was very helpful.
