MIUI for Gionee Dream D1/GN878 with root and busybox - Android 4.2

With this ROM build, I will be leveraging @stas2z's work as much as possible. @stas2z's ROM is also contending for the MIUI contest, and I'd like to see him win. By making minimal changes to this ROM build, we will be contributing to the activation count on MIUI servers.
That does have a side effect. IQ446 is a device with hardware keys. Because of which, the qemu.hw.mainkeys is always activated for the base ROM. You need to either always go and deactivate it or else, stick with Ultimate Dynamic Navbar
But there's some good effects also. By not fiddling much, we can leverage the system updates that @stas2z releases. Be careful though in your updates. Always assess the changes before you apply. And as usual, take a backup first.
I'd also like to mention the help @vizhigal has provided. This wouldn't have happened without his contribution. Thank you.

ROM Development for 4.1.2 series is frozen now. I'll not be working on it any further.
Thanks to the hard work of @somberi, @dark4droid (Sam Solomon) and all other folks around, we have some progress on the GiONEE Dream D1 GN878 running a ported build of MIUI v5

Nice :good:

System logcat while the OS reported that sound was playing. But no sound audible at all.

Its looking really beautifull.
Is it as smooth as stock?

Yes. It is. It does need minor tweaks in the build.prop though. The current ROM that is listed under the downloads has those tweaks.

Pls. try this application and see

Also have u tried using the stock audio libraries.

No. But they are shipping with Android 4.2
And its really difficult to read the page using translate.

Thanks bro.. this rom is good & luking like apple iphone soft. But one more prob 2nd sim network is not working along with sound prob.
I'm switching to stock rom right now..I cant help you to solve this prob as i'm not a developer as you r. thanks for your hard work.

Sound Issues fixed by RickyGoldsmith and is included in the ROM. I'm removing my buggy fix from this post do wade out any confusion.

somberi said:
Audio/Sound through the Speaker is fixed. Testing now thoroughly before I release a patch. Felt great when the MIUI bootanimation sound played :laugh::highfive:
There were some incompatible libs I believe.
Sound patch download link: http://goo.gl/gURdO
Installation:
Download the zip file from the link above
Put it on the external sd card
Reboot into recovery
Select - install zip from sdcard
select the downloaded file and flash
reboot
Voila - You would be greeted with the MIUI bootanimation sound.!
Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Thanks a ton @somberi. This is great news. This weekend has been great for me too. I just got (as I write) another build of MIUI (Lenovo A820) ported onto this device. And sound just works. Need to test the rest of the stuff.
With this whole MIUI porting, it has been a great experience learning all this stuff. I have been an android user since 2009 (Galaxy S GT-I9000) but never fiddled around because GT-I9000 had an awesome developer base. I am too happy to have learnt these stuff. Though sometimes painful, they were fun too.... THANK YOU to @somberi and @Dark4Droid (Sam Solomon).
@RickyGoldsmith - You could put this on the first post, or integrate into the rom on the next release.

Please find the other working ROM. It is claimed to be for A820. I haven't tested it much apart from booting and verifying sound.

Yes, my friend reported it to me. Currently I'm on stock rom. Will have to find out the libs in the patch causing it.
Does the rom without the patch have a working cam?

We've done it! Thanks to the androidarmv6 team's work, and the great people over at Team Simplicit(Especially Olivier, as he got it working on the Wildfire S and a couple other devices),
we now have a functional KitKat rom for the ChaCha!
This rom SHOULD now be daily driver ready. Please leave feedback on any issues.
I will also note that it takes a rather long time to boot. I don't know if it will stay this way or not, so don't ask.
And lastly, I recommend leaving the device for at least a minute after first boot, before going through the setup wizard. Otherwise it will be very laggy.​
NOT WORKING/BROKEN/ISSUES
Bluetooth
Screen video recording (I believe we have a fix in the works)
ART (doesn't support ARMv6)
SELinux
USB/WiFi tethering
Camera orientation is sideways
Phone takes a long time wake during call or alarm
Symbols/zero key bringing up the input method selection window, regardless of whether alt is pushed.
Arabic keyboard not working?
incoming call crashes ui. dialer crashes when you try to open it after ui crash.
Trebuchet launcher crashes repeatedly, making phone unusable
MTP and PTP Modes cannot be selected under USB Connection menu, Settings Crashes. Setting does not save.
Trebuchet unable to remove widgets due to missing "X"

SCREENSHOTS
RECOVERY
Recovery gets built with rom, I will update this anytime the recovery is changed.
Current Version is 6.0.5.3
Download Here | Mirror
How to flash recovery:
Terminal Method:
Stick the "recovery.img" file on the root of your sdcard. Open a terminal emulator, and type:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
After typing "su" you'll want to allow terminal emulator root access.
Fastboot method:
Stick the "recovery.img" file in the same directory as your fastboot executable binary.
Put your phone in fastboot mode.
Open a command prompt and use the fastboot tool to type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
PH06IMG.zip method:
Put your phone in fastboot mode, and use the fastboot tool to type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
You'll want to make note of the "version-main" value, the "cidnum" value, the "modelid" value, and the "hbootpreupdate" value.
Stick the "recovery.img" file in a folder somewhere, and create a new text document called "android-info.txt"
Put the values you noted earlier into the "android-info.txt" in the following format(this one works for my device):
Code:
modelid: PH0613000
cidnum: TELUS001
mainver: 1.60.0.0
hbootpreupdate: 12
note that "mainver" is the value you noted earlier from "version-main".
Now zip the "recovery.img" and the "android-info.txt" together, and name it "PH06IMG.zip"
Put that file on the root of your sdcard, and reboot into the bootloader. It should detect the zip, and ask you to update. choose yes, and you're off to the races!

I am Really Enjoying Kitkate right now
———
Installing Steps:
1) I Tried to install the Recovery using the boot loader method but it failed with an error "CID incorrect, update fail”.
So i used fast boot Method with my PC & this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
2) Installed The Rom
3) Installed “CronMod-INT2EXTV2+_signed.zip” (Great INT2ext mod to increase internal Memory form SD card, now 1.5GB) :angel:
The system Feels good, but i couldn’t live with it without updating the minimum CPU frequency to 245 MHZ
Problems i faced At my first look
System:
Wifi & Hotspot NOT working
Bluetooth NOT working
USB Mass Storage Mode (UMS) NOT working ( I can Not connect my phone to the pc with any mean )
3G Stop working after WAKE - I Must Manually disable and re-enable it
Battery Still Testing
Apps:
Camera image is rotated !
Phone app buttons really needs to be reorganised
Keyboard:
@ and ~ are misplaced , should be switched (FN+y) with (FN+p)
No Number “0”
Lang, & Facebook Keys are not Functional
No Arabic Keyboard
Overall, Very Good for a First Build. I am Excited to Test the Next Build and i am ready for Testing

I will say that mass storage mode works perfectly for me. but I will do some testing with other micro sd cards, and see what happens.
But thanks for testing!

Keep in mind, this is absolutely NOT a stable release. entirely a testing/dev release.
That having been said, if you want to start the efforts of working on a new kernel, I certainly wouldn't complain, and I'd even try my best to help.

It's certainly possible. I don't know if I'll do it to my own fork of the currently used kernel, or if maybe Olivier will do it, but I will definitely look into it in the next few days, see what I can come up with. I have found a patch used on a samsung device that uses the msm7227 like our device, so as long as it's similar enough, and still works with kitkat, it shouldn't be too hard.
No promises though

Ah ok great.
Anyway, the biggest downside of the custom roms for the Chacha is the bad keyboard integration. If you compare it with a Nokia E71, the original ROM is already bad. But if you use a custom ROM, than you are lacking even more keyboard shortcuts (especially when handling calls). So I guess improving this would be the best thing for this phone.
But let's see... whatever you decide it's great there there is still so much work going on for this phone!

Unfortunately, I can only judge by the English keyboard configurations, because I don't know any other languages xD
But the next build(which, if all goes well, will be later this afternoon/evening) will have the keyboard configs the same as the other recent custom roms, primarily the ones by adlx.xda, as it's his repos we got the configs from.
But after I release this new update, if you tell me what's wrong with the keyboard specifically, I may be able to help out a little.

ohh finally ! , how good of you , i will try it sure and tell you if there is anything wrong .. but is the kernel support swap ? , and the keyboard support arabic language and the buttons ? thanks alot

the next release(which is currently compiling. takes a LONG time xD) SHOULD have proper arabic support, and I believe it does support swap, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks for reporting! Could you specify which app? I do have mixed results on this, on one hand YT / MX Player are working on the other one Clover can't play webM's.
I'll certainly look into it.

The YouTube app played only sound, and when I installed opengapps Pico or mini the Google play setup crashed. Bean gapps worked just fine. I am using original shield tablet wifi. Should I install k1 staging blob ?

I'd advice against that, personally.
However, i have a workaround for the videos. There's some problem with the hardware decoding, i still have to figure out why.
For now i simply disabled hardware decoders, the software decoding seems to work fine, but this isn't a fix by any means.
I'll add the link to the download once the upload finished.
added to OP
Another bug i've encountered is that the Shield Camera's pictures are distorted, however when you activate HDR everything is fine. Again, just a workaround for now. The alternative is to use AOSP Camera.

Charging issue fix available?
Hi. Any input on charging? I was able to flash the latest version but I see it doesn't want to charge above 88%, even when left plugged over night. Thanks very much for any input. Nvidia Shield Tablet, wifi, rooted.

Thanks for trying. And thanks to anyone for replying. In terms of self help, I downloaded some battery apps to see if they can re-align the battery so it can charge up to 100%. Still only charging up to 89%. Tried cleaning the input ports and the chargers. I have wiped cache partitions. I have the latest TWRP. I'm scared to try to re-flash because it was so difficult - "setup wizard keeps stopping."

you could try if this will make any difference, provided by BitOBsessiOn: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424962292
Did you update the blob from the latest OTA for your Tablet (OG/K1)?
I honestly have no idea otherwise.
In terms of setup wizard, as you are not the only one having this problem apparently. Did you clean flash (aka wiping all necessary partitions) prior to flashing omni?
I personally didn't have any crash setting it up, but that may be sheer luck.. i've seen commits from Steel01 to Lineage which adress that issue, but i want to make as less changes in the general codebase as possible.
As an alternative you can use Bean gapps as marcostesvk pointed out. I may change this in OP if everbody has problems with the setup wizard.
Thanks for the feedback guys!

I'm very VERY grateful for your replies. I will try the battery link tonight. I didn't update the blob from any OTAs. This tablet is the replacement tablet from the recall. I rooted it and I don't get any OTAs. Perhaps it's something I can get and flash? If so, I would gladly try it. Re. setup wizard, I always clean flash ROMs and in fact I wipe all twice for luck and then again after flashing Gapps. Setup wizard error popped up and you can't swipe down to get to the Settings or the wifi. On the 70th try (and after youtube videos and articles) of trying to quickly slide to the notification bar, I was able to slide down and get to Settings to turn on wifi (ie, the solution). Last thing I did was out of frustration (nothing was flashing, Tesla, Lineage 14.1, etc., and this came closest) I unplugged the charger while sliding down and suddenly the bar came down -coincidence? Don't know. You don't want that error, it's like the android on his back. Full disclosure, I had to go into the updater script file and delete the assert lines so I'd stop getting the TWRP Error 7. Which worked. Learned that from here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wed03948gcg. I'll report back. Thank you for your attention and sorry to be a PITA!

I'm grateful for the feedback too, no worries!
You can get any OTA here https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source directly from nvidia, labeled recovery images.
Inside the zip are instructions, but the most important parts are the blob and bootloader.
I sincerly hope this fixes any issues.
Regarding gapps: that truly sounds like hell. I'll do a backup and clean flash probably tomorrow. I'll report back on that matter when i have some details.
You are on the latest TWRP, is suppose?

Yes TWRP 3.1.1-1. Thx very much for the OTA link. Just fyi, the battery zip link was dead. But I'll find a working link now that I know the general name..

Hi, just an update. I re-flashed and used bean gapps this time. No problems this time, but the battery still won't charge above 89%. Just as a by the way, the clock and date start up at factory until I get it on the wifi and it syncs. Every time. If there's no wifi, it's set to Dec. 31, 2012. Anyone else with this?

uploaded a new build. Link in OP.
No major changes, just up2date with omni source as of today

new build in OP.
*updated with latest omni 7.1 changes
*updated with some device changes from Aaron Kling
*updated kernel with latest nvidia kernel sources
i'm still bumping my head against a wall why hwencoders seem to have some sort of problems. You can play media, it's just not working with the configs it's supposed to.

How to report
How to post
Reports without logs or step to reproduce are useless (read contribute).
You are welcome to post your review: what is working, not working, etc... Check into know issues before.
You are welcome to report any typo, error, etc...
Try to keep thread clean as a dev reference. Thanks in advance.​
How to report problems
To report problem, please provide logs.
It is always better to include reference to the Installed version. This guide is really detailed and explained everything about bug reports.
If you have any doubts, take the most logs. There is never enough logs ​
How to get logs
If your device is not booting at all, we need information about how you flash and all the handling you do, the display status, light status, and if available a dump of /proc/last_kmesg*
If you have a non working peripheral (non-working radio/wifi/etc...) please provide a full logcat and full dmesg, example:
Code:
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log
adb logcat -d > logcat.log
If you have a non working app please provide a partial logcat:
Code:
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb logcat -c
<launch your app>
adb logcat -d > logcat.log
On this rom, there is a script who detect device at install time and provide the right functions for single or dual sim. If you have modem problems (like data not working or no signal) please also provide the /tmp/recovery.log.:
If you have ADB access to your device in twrp just use
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log .
after flashing omnirom.
If you do not have ADB access use the 'copy to SD' button in the advanced tab, then transfer it the way you like.
then upload your files to a service like pastebin.com / paste.omnirom.org
How to contribute
Code is like hieroglyphs for me:
No worries you can contribute anyway! Install the rom, do tests, read failure logs, look at internet for potential fix/similar users experience, is the biggest part of debugging. Then collect all of this and write your results here.
Code is like hieroglyphs for me and logs are worst:
No problem, collects logs the right way if you can, explain how you encounter the problem: detailed step to reproduce could be enough: explain exactly how you encounter the error/problem, it should produce each time someone repeat your steps. Then we will be able to fix it.

Based on stock sony kernel?

Amazing, I'm testing right now.
-It's quite fast (maybe a bit laggy in Settings app)
-Calls/SMS ok
-Wi-Fi working (both 2.4 and 5 GHz)
-Camera taking pictures, but not videos (as stated in post #2)
-Mobile data working (2G, 3G, LTE)
-Bluetooth working! I successfully connected to my JBL Go
-DoubleTapToWake not working
-Auto brightness not working here, good Night Mode
-Audio is quite loud, very good! (good inCall and loudspeaker volumes too)
-Screen rotation working
-64GB microSD correctly detected
-only around 5.5 GB occupied (without gApps)
-just 23 seconds to boot
-30 minutes of SOT drained about 7% of battery
I'm really tempted to keep this ROM, but I'll wait for it to get even more stable than now.
Oreo seems a way better than Nougat.
Thanks dev for this :good::good::good:

When video recording gets fixed I am installing this ROM,I already see good reviews so hoping it gets fixed soon.
Great job dev!

Awesome work guys, bluetooth works.
Hope we got Lineage or AOSP ROM soon.

Testing,so far so good.

So far so good... What I've noted:
- 'unknown sources' option in security settings is done away with. Now is a pop-up dialog included in pkg mgr.
- Settings layout is different. Main dashboard more condensed, with several options now in sub-settings.
- Signature spoofing ability included without patch, but Micro G still showing not active. Not sure what to do to activate it. SELinux already permissive; I don't see any option in settings...
- phh's Superuser working fine, (my preferred root).
Thanks

Figured out the Micro G issue, (feel stupid because I already went through this with another ROM and forgot about it...) Just tap on the unchecked box in Micro G settings and allow permission in the pop-up box.
Now Micro G working fine...

Very Good!
Please add control with one hand as on LOS, my top of the sensor does not work.

Awesome work guys, thanks for all the hard work @devil188 @nailyk @Diewi @xkeita @rcstar6696

Already approx 24h on. I am really pleased surprise, she isn't perfect but come on!! ,is Alfa release, and come so early after officially released!
Normally installed, on get gaps I have same treble, usually use aroma install, but don't past a way,finely successful with pico, magisk , and now I am a happy campers.
Tks a loot for this!
Stock camera working, no recording.(just flash)

I guess they cut button rearrangement out of system ui tuner in Oreo. Found this app that can restore it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner. I have a feeling it's easy to do with apktool also, but apktool not ready for O yet, so haven't been able to test, (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74347058&postcount=5108)...

Tried the rom. Many congrats for the good work and thank you.
I cannot get the 5ghz networks to show up.
Also double tap to wake does not work.
And, the camera, even if does not FC when taking video, it does not store it anywhere.
Finally I get an error message as soon as the phone boots up to android. "Cell broadcast has stopped".
I will be following closely this thread. Keep up the good work!!!

I flashed again this rom to check if "Nougat Sony Camera Port" could work on Oreo too (I cannot live without that camera).
The result is YES (obviously Video recording still broken and some camera mode like AR Fun are force closing) and Cyberian Camera 8.0 works too.
So proud of this phone, it does not want to give up :good:

Warning!!!
BackUp EFS partition before installing. .If you lose IMEI , use this backup to retrieve it in future.
Installation
Boot the newest TWRP .img
Flash copy-partitions-AB.zip from second post. (This will prevent device from getting bricked if you are coming from stock rom for the first time. It takes a backup of active slot to inactive slot)
In TWRP, click "Wipe", "Format Data", then type "yes" as prompted.
ADB sideload the newest build
Reboot to fastboot and do fastboot -w via terminal
Boot into "Recovery", this will boot you to either Lineage Recovery or TWRP depending on your choice to install TWRP or not. It is necessary to reboot between ROM flash and GApps/Addon flash due to verity/slot-swap logic.
(Optionally) Flash GApps - Only MindTheGApps arm64 are compatible, OpenGApps are not compatible with A/B yet: MindTheGApps.
(Optionally) Flash SU - you'll need to turn it on from in developer settings after first boot Lineage OS SU Addon. - Magisk works fine, though is not supported.
Reboot
Downloads
Warning
If you are coming from stock ROM and it's your first time flashing lineage, flash copy-partition zip (See second post) unless your device will brick and I'm not responsible

Bugs
You tell me
Reporting bugs
DO NOT report bugs if you're running a custom kernel
DO NOT report bugs if you've modifies system files
DO NOT report bugs if you've installed xposed and/or other mods
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
Code:
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
If it is a random reboot, grab kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

F.A.Q.
ROOT! ROOT! Give me root or i'll die!!! Where root is???
First of all DO NOT flash any SuperSu/SuperUser/SuperMan zip package to get root. Go to Settings>Developement Settings>Root access and select "Apps Only"
Why no nightly today?
Build failed. Check again tomorrow
When do I have to wipe data?
You must wipe data only when you're switching from another rom or migrating to Snapshot branch from Nightly and vice versa. You don't need to wipe data when you update in the same release channe (this applies to 13.0 -> 14.1 upgrades too)
Will you add <insert awesome feature here>?
I won't. If you write it, submit a commit to gerrit, where it will be reviewed.
The LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

Copy Partition- Initial Setup
Flash the attachement via TWRP

Fantastic, can't wait to try this! :good: The copy-partition zip seems to be missing though? :crying:

Awesome! Thank you, can't wait to try it out.
Is the copy partitions zip the same as the one on the Lineage OS 15.1 thread?

When that app stop working select app info, force stop and clear app data.
And try again it'll work
And when you want to restore your stuff it'll show another error: "data transfer stop working" (I don't remember exact name) do the same force stop and clear data but this time allow all the permissions (storage, calls, etc)

Hmm. Clear data is greyed out, can only clear cache and that doesn't help.

? The data transfer tool and Pixel set up both require notification access. Should solve the issue. ??

Hello, how can I give notification access to the pixel set up? I can't find the option

Goto Apps & notifications, scroll down to Special app access, There's the noticfication access around the middle of the list.
Always has worked for me in this senario. Good luck.

Nice work! Congratulations @rahulsnair + everybody on the team. Wow, did You receive the device on Monday this week?
So, I flashed and I'm writing the journey here and keep editing as I go:
- Is Emergency calling working, can you connect? You can test by calling there and saying that you wanted to test.
- Moto actions - Working!
- Is the camera quality the same-ish? I'd say yes.
- Can I install Moto Camera 2 (Stock)? Yes.
- Tethering (yes) / Hotspot (working) / Bluetooth calling (working) / Casting (working) / NFC (working).
- Since "Copy A -> B Partitions zip" makes a copy of the current ROM to another slot (correct?), how to restore from there? I know how to restore from twrp backup.
[STROKE] EDIT: At the moment I'm getting "Pixel Setup keeps stopping" Cleared cache. Did not help. I have no navbar. For some reason Gapps didn't flash correctly I think. Trying again from there.[/STROKE]
EDIT2: You have the wrong link in OP. It points to 8.x MindTheGapps
Here's the 9.x version:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=file...0cea2c259bd6b42b84ebd97a7d581187be08d20207d94
The same error manifests in 9.0 MindTheGapps. I got a little further though. But it's possible to plough through. Just reboot if you get stuck like I did and you will get there.
* Still no navbar during setup. (This might possibly be remedied by enabling on-screen navbar before flashing gapps, maybe: "settings -> system -> buttons).
* When connecting to wifi at setup, it will connect, but nothing happens, no "next" button"
* Not able to skip restoring backup from Google account.
* Data Migration Tool shows that its pixel version. Give permissions by clicking "App Info", "Permissions", check all.
* I have a strong feeling I have flashed MindTheGapps for Pixel :silly::highfive::laugh:
Wohoo! Made it through the setup, and I have a NavBar! And a working ROM! Super! (Some time later) - It's an awesome smooth driver. Absolutely beautiful.
* TWRP is suddenly showing garbled folders in sdcard. There was a post about that... Lemme see -- Ok so the problem is force_encryption. For that I'd need help, how to change that?
* Computer does not see external sd anymore
* Integrated E-mail app couldn't log to Gmail
* Music player didn't see external SD - fixed by magisk module "ExSdcard Access Enabler".
* Audio Fx didn't change anything - there's a fix to try clearing the data and cache and see if it starts working - I installed Viper4Android FX through Magisk Manager, works.

I'm not going to test emergency services.
Moto actions do work-and this is why you don't see a navbar on setup. Fingerprint gestures, swipe right to left to go back,tap for home, left to right for recent, long press for assistant.
Copy partions- this should let you dual boot roms. So los15.1 on slot a and slot b can have Los16. The twrp reboot screen can allow you to choose your boot slot.
Gapps-you can use any gapps really just be sure to flash them if you flash a rom update. I like opengapps arm64 nano builds myself. Then install Google apps from play store.
Twrp- we have to wait for devs to deal with this. It will be fixed in time if it's not fixed with the new official twrp(I haven't tested it yet). It only applies to internal storage. SD card won't be scrambled.
SD card-the mount point is wrong. I think it was /run/media/sdcard or something similar. Some apps can find the path and some can't.

Great, thanks for clarifying
My post above is written as I go through the setup, therefore a mess.
External SD resides at /mnt/media_rw/(sd_card_name).
Easiest way to fix (most apps) to recognize it is to load ExSdCard Access Enabler module in Magisk Manager.

Just to clear up something the reason mavnar isn't shown is you need to use fingerprint gestures. Swipe left to right for recent, tap for home, swipe left to right to go back. Then you can activate navbar in settings after set up.

This method unfortunately doesn't work in Lightroom. "Use SD Card" in "Device Info & Storage" is still grayed out.

yes, it seems so. I asked this question in Adobe Support, but didn't get a satisfactory answer.

Is anyone else having a problem enabling the microphone in Gboard? It's not a big issue as I'm able to switch to Google Voice typing on the fly. I was just wondering if it's something I did, or if it is something with this ROM.
For reference I installed Nano Gapps, and Gboard from the store.

Have you enabled microphone permissions from settings - apps?
