I was running Rick's ROM for a few months and seems to be doing everything well enough for me but I tried Lollipop and didn't like it because of a few issues one of which being the alarm not working on mute so I went back to Rick's Rom for a few more weeks until the OC4 came out. I'm on it right now and dealing with the muting issues with setting it to vibrate and knocking down notification vibrations to zero and it works. But, I'm not seeing what the big deal if the Lollipop is. Questions for those who are more savvy than I am: What does really Lollipop do that KitKat doesn't do for us? I just have not seen anything that really stands out. My battery lasts about the same, the sounds is the same, screen is the same, reception is about the same so what's the advantage for the S5? I just don't get it?
Lollipop adds material design, new recent apps, new security features, ART which (should) be faster, and the new notification settings. Also, there are roms based on the international OB7 and OC7 that you can download that work the verizon s5 and bring back the old notifications with alarms on mute and such.
Any ROM you have tried that would give me the mute function that would give me the Lollipop benefits? I thought the International ROM didn't have HD voice, though? What's the difference between the OB7 and OC7? I tried Googling it and I can't find anything. Thanks for your help. I'm on this right now.

Yes, they all the ob7 or oc7 ones are lollipop based and they have all lollipop features in samsung roms and bring the mute feature back. They don't have hd voice, although that doesn't affect me. The only difference is bug fixes between the two.
I stupidly updated the stock camera app via apkmirror and it must've been for a different phone as my camera app now looks like in the screenshot below.
How do I fix this? How do I revert back to the official nougat camera app?
If the new camera updated the stock camera, go into your application manager (in the Settings), find the camera and disable it.
After a prompt, it should uninstall the updates and leave just the stock camera.
Reenable after its finished, and you should be good to go.

Hey,
I'm on v11.0.1.0.PFJMIXM but can't find the Smart Lock features, especially the Trusted Places one. Is this removed from stock roms? Is there any way to install this feature? Which custom rom has this?
Thanks

Yes, that one I found but how do I turn on the Trusted Places for Smart Lock? This would enable me to select places where the devices doesn't need a password to unlock.

I could not get it to work and looks like in all MIUI roms it's crippled. There is a Bluetooth unlock in lockscreen menu but it's only available with whitelisted Xiaomi gear it seams. Kinda confirmed on other MIUI forums basically they replaced it with their version and only for their devices. The prompt shows only the first time you pair a new device and you can add it but it does nothing and no way to get back in. I tried to trigger all activities from google service framework but could not get back in, only with new BT device will and i ran out of devices to try. No location trigger works

Hi, if your phone is rooted, you can install this app to get Smart Lock's shortcut https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rachel030219.smartlocklauncher&hl=it

Ok, installed, granted root access, defined my home as trusted place
Locked the screen - it still asks me for pin, cannot unlock without
(I know how to use it, it works perfectly for me on Huawei Mate 9 but here cannot get it to skip entering my pin when I am at home and want to unlock the screen)
QFJEUXM 11.0.5
What else to set up or how to make it working?
Do you really have Xiaomi Mi 9T with stock ROM (and which) and did you really make Smart (un)lock to work for your (home) place, and how?

It doesn't work on MIUI... AFAIK there is no fix.

Unfortunately, true. I was surprised when
@Tizio.Qualunque claimed a 'solution'?!
I've seen many threads for Mi 9T and other Xiaomi phones but never seen anybody claiming that he/she set it up to to really unlock without a pin (or how to do it).
Btw, before I installed this Smart Lock app as he suggested, I got pop-ups by Google Smart lock several time, asking me if I want to set up my (home) location for smart (un)locking (now, during Corona I'm almost all the time at home and unlock the phone by pin tens of time during the day, because unfortunately FOD is very unreliable). So I always confirmed that I want, but still it never worked for unlocking
I can only hope that Xiaomi maybe fix it for MIUI 12, but frankly I don't believe.
BIG MINUS for MIUI and Xiaomi phones

Yes. A huge minus.
Use face unlock. Use Mi band or some kind of Mi watch (bluetooth unlock is limited to only one device... ). It's stuipid - I know. But this is only think you may do if you want your phone to be unloceked when you are near.
Eventually you may try Tasker.
I've been dealing with this since miui 6.
As others have said, MIUI has removed all access to smart lock. The only reason you get the notification is because it's served by Google Play services. They can't touch it.
Even if you access the menu by root, it still won't work because MIUI uses its own lock screen, not the stock lockscreen.
They keep kneecapping the Android features, and later introduce them as "new". The only people who actually like MIUI are people who've never used stock Android
More examples from my experience in MIUI 6 :
1. They didn't have face unlock or bluetooth unlock. But Android had it since the previous 2 versions. They added it in the next MIUI as a flagship feature. And it's still bad. It unlocked for my brother's face.
2. Split screen. One generation late.
3. Picture in picture mode. Dunno if it's available even now

As a user come from nexus and Xperia (like pure android with sony exclusive options) devices, miui only have eye catching ui and lots of bloat ware!
User experience (UX) is so bad. You can't find some options easy (for old and pro android user since 2010, i search in settings menu to find some features! How new android user can use miui i don't know!!!)
select widget so hard, no app drawer, lots of bugs, lags (frame drop) anywhere. MIUI good for peoples come from iOS to android. (Animation, Animation, Animation. Not smooth ux, not easy to use ROM)
I bye Xiaomi phone for good hardware and great price.
Don't forget we are in android. For any feature we can find a nice third-party app.
I flash Pixel Experience Plus...
If google not make ugly pixel, and sport it with high end hardware and good price (Nexus Phone!?) , i never bye any mi or galaxy phone! OnePlus can be an option for professional android user too, but not find easy in my country.

For the matter of fact, App Drawer is supported (since MIUI 11?), see screenshots
But lacking Smart Lock: On body detection, Trusted places and the fact that Smart detection does not work for general Bluetooth devices (but only maybe for Xiaomi gadgets) is a big issue

Yes, support with alpha system launcher. Not official, you must side load alpha app!

NOT really
I'm using QFJEUXM 11.0.6 (previously 11.0.5 and 11.0.3 I think), I never used any Alpha system launcher or whatever
Ok, I cecked now to my System apps updater History, you can see that MIUI System Launcher got updated 4+ months ago to support App Drawer

BIG MINUS for MIUI and Xiaomi phones
Click to expand...

Not fixed in MIUI 12 / Android 10.
Makes it impossible to do hands-free calling in the car., since you can't make calls anymore with the screen locked.
Only ways I can see around it is:
1. Keep your phone unlocked,
2. Have face unlock set and place your phone where it can "see you" at all times.
3. Get a cheap Mi band or some other MI product, add it as a trusted device, and keep it charged in your car.
This is utter nonsense from Xiaomi.
With MIUI 12, Android 10 and by using Root Smart Lock app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rachel030219.smartlocklauncher
I can setup my trusted place and it remembers, but still it doesn't keep the phone unlocked at my home (I must use the fingerprint or pin)
I was thinking if some permissions are missing
I tried it on MI11 with MIUI 12.5 and with the app mentioned, but still not working :-(
