installed gapps before or after fist boot?

In the first install after the rom, as always. In the second install I flashed the rom without gapps to see what happen, and same result :/

Flashed it. As said above, there's a setup wizard problem that after picking a language it crashes the setup continuously.
I also got the gapps from your site for 4.4 for the best minimal experience with great performance
flashing the google dialer makes com.android.phone continously crash and have no service
I tried flashing w/o gapps and the setup comes again which is really weird, again it crashed
I then tried flashing w/o gapps again but this time formatted system (most install scripts format systems but some people forget to do it) and the setup didn't show up that time and was butter smooth.
After booting up w/o gapps, i tried flashing your gapps again, and it did flash. No setup wizard, though. But Google Settings and Play Store worked fine.
Also, would be nice if you could include AOSP browser, but i'm not sure if it fits the roms purpose(lightweight)

CM is not official or is it?

That a custom ROM is official because is compiled by some DEV on that Custom ROM team does not mean this ROM has the requirements to get Original Developement Title.
More things than being official are needed in fact to get Original Developement custom ROM status.

Works !

Can't root new Mi4. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I have tried XiaomiTool, which resulted in a brick.
I had to factory reset from the recovery, then it turned on, which resulted in all GApps disappearing. Got a 550mb OTA which brought them back.
I read that i can root by using Developer rom, but that is only available in the chinese version.
There is no global developer rom. Please show me how to root this phone, i already bricked it once on the first day.
Android 4.4.4
MIUI 6.5.3.0 Stable.

http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
Xiaomi.eu's ROMs have Google Apps and root. 5.7.2 is perfect, haven't tested latest yet.

Which one should I Download?
There are so many links, none of which seem right for the Mi4.
And it says in the post that they are without root?

Thanks a ton. I am used to a nexus 4 so all this seems new to me.
Is there a guide to flash this? I wouldn't mind wiping data this one time.
What method Should i use to Update, by keeping data?
Thanks again.
PS isnt there something like this based on the global version?
What is the difference between this and the one from the MIUI website Chinese developer rom?

Easiest way is from MIUI Updater app, "..." from up right, choose update package... Can try dirty flash first, If there is problems/apps fc do factory reset.

Thanks.

Xiaomi.eu weekly roms are based on those chinese developer versions so dirty flash might work. They disable chinese only apps and features and add languages.

I have installed it and it is working great.
One major problem, Everytime i install an APK, it asks me to grant permission, and only lets me allow it once after waiting 10 seconds.
There is no Allow Unknown Sources Checkbox.
Please help, it is very annoying as i have so many APKs to install on the new phone.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the setting.
Thanks a lot for your Help.

Hi again,have you tried the latest rom?
Nothing happens if i just install it, but after i restore about 50 apps, it starts rebooting. Every 2-3 minutes.
Not sure What to do.
Have tried a factory reset.

No i am still with 5.7.2, no hurry to upgrade.
Restoring apps could cause problems sometimes, try clean install. (I open all favorite apps in Firefox and and bookmark them so i can use "Open All in Tabs" and install them easily for any device.)

How is your battery life on those roms?
I am getting horrible battery life with like 1% drain every minute even when I'm not using it.
And I keep getting "com.Google.gapps has stopped.
I've wiped everything, clean install.
Please help.

There was some problems in this weeks original, did you try 5.7.26 hotfix? (Im still at 5.7.2, that should be better with battery and Gapps are working.)

Do you recommend I Install 5.7.2 or the Latest Hotfix?

Haven't tried latest, but can confirm 5.7.2 is working fine so try that. Usually i upgrade only after couple people say it's working good on Mi4 in Xiaomi.eu MIUI Weekly ROM Releases forum.

Do I need to make a full wipe to downgrade or just flash with the updater app?

I think any custom ROM can't replace the MIUI camera, i tried CM 12.1 but camera is very upset in terms of picture clarity as well camera app is very laggy and some times gets hang and wont response. Not able to dare to try custom ROMs due to this reason.
It would be really very great if anyone can able to port MIUI camera to these custom ROMs.

Try version 4 of the toolkit.
That worked for me.
Also, make sure you do exactly as the desctiption says, don't change the order of actions (as i did) because then it will not work.
First make sure that you pc has the right drivers (or use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
Then use v4 from this link and use the right order (http://en.miui.com/thread-117336-1-1.html)
So first TWRP then root (if you still need it).

Mi4i going into bootloop after flashing CM based roms!
I have tried almost all of the custom roms(latest ones) available for Xiomi mi 4i but neither of them actually worked for me. Whenever i flash the roms, it gets installed correctly and when it asks for language selection, it shuts off. I have tried flashing with both twrp and cwm, cleared cache, dalvik cache but problem never solved. I think the CM has some serious problems with this devices.

Mine is not directly going into boot loop.
Sometimes it works a few minutes (up to 20 or so), but it will shut down.
When connected to power it does NOT shut down, but still.
I tried yesterday the CM 12.1 version from Smoki3 from july 30th and that seems to work, but i did not have any time any more, so i had to restore my nadroid backup.
Will try it later again (maybe tomorrow) if that really does work, or if it was just to short time for it to shut down.

I think I was using developer rom and flashed CM on it directly so the problem occured. I read somewhere on a forum that you should flash it on global rom. I tried it with ASOPA-L rom as it was having the same problem and it worked flawlessly. Now going to try it with latest CM rom.
One thing I noticed the camera quality is better in ASOPA-L but this rom lacks performance mode.

I'm experiencing bad speaker sound after installing this ROM. Is there any way to fix that.
Sent from my Mi 4i using Tapatalk

I'm absolutely loving this rom. I've no idea why xiaomi let's miui be so slow and laggy. This room feels great and everything runs/opens so much faster and it looks fantastic. Cmon Xiaomi, step up your game, miui is way too heavy.
Like other people have mentioned, the only downside to not having miui is the camera. I've tried a bunch of others and the quality is greatly reduced compared to the miui camera. Please someone, please port miui 6 camera!!! PLEASE!! I'll be your best friend.

Whenever i boot ..it turns off...pls hlp
Thanks in advance

Try a different GAPPS package, maybe a larger one. Just to see. For one, some people complained of missing features like notification bar pulldown with the very smallest GAPPS package. Now this isn't a reason it shouldn't install, but try a different package to see if it make a difference in completing the installation.

Same thing here, using a 2014811 (Wt88047, Redmi 2 WCDMA).
Tried ""nightly" 20160512, 20160517 and 20160519. Did the usual Wipes, tried also with no wifi and no SIM card.
Nothing seems to help, I am stuck at "Just a Sec..."

First, restore your backup. You did make a backup, right?
Then re-flash after you download a different GAPPs package. Some say Open Gapps works great for them, while others say Slim GAPPS is best. We don't know why some don't work for some people but work for others.
If that doesn't fix your issue, then try this:
Download the unofficial CM13 found here in this forum and try it.
Also, download Resurrection Remix (Marshmallow) and try it.
Both are variants of CM13 anyways. Just trying to see if something is wrong with your phone and you can't flash any ROM whatsoever or if it's something your phone doesn't like about official CM13.
The unofficial CM13 is CM13 with just a few of the Resurrection Remix tweaks thrown in, like permissions to download Moto apps from the Google Store, etc. It's 90% CM13, 10% RR.
If none of those CM13 variants work, you can alway try AOSP Mokee (Marshmallow).
IF NONE of those work, either your phone is severely messed up or you are doing something wrong.

Right. This one installed without any problems.
Still, I would like to be able to install the "official" one.
I wonder, what may be the bug in that keeps it "freezing" at the "Just a Sec..." message.

I don't know. Not everything with our phones is completely logical. Occasionally more of an art than science. Same reason one GAPPs package works well for someone but won't install for another person. Open GAPPS vs Slim Gapps.
Here's a personal example... My wife and I both have XT1225 with CM12.1 and yet hers can't run BHB27 kernel. Occasionally I'll get it to install, and run OK for a day or two but then next time I reboot it it does endless bootloops. I even tried different governors and I/O schedulers. Nada.
Mine is a Puerto Rico (unlocked Claro) XT1225 I flashed to India 5.0.2 before flashing to CM.
Her's is a Mexico direct-from-China-Motorola factory XT1225 I flashed to India 5.0.2 before flashing to CM.
Later I flashed Puerto Rico XT1225 radio over both.
There's just some difference there in her XT1225 which does not like BHB27 kernel.
Maybe if I did an exhaustive formatting of the entire internal memory and reinstallation of everything on her phone, it would work. But instead I take the easy way out and she's just running CM12.1 with default CM kernel, and that's running well. So, I go with what works.

I don't even think you are using this phone, to be honest. So, why did you post here? You posted same thing in another thread, for ANOTHER PHONE, not even related to Quark.
You seem to be using this phone: Xiaomi Redmi 2 -- since all your other posts before this and after this are over there.

Android Nougat ROMs List for the BLU Life One X 2016

This is a list of Nougat ROMs for this device and it's clones.
The list will be in the following format:
ROM : Version : Device : Tested/Untested
LineageOS : 14.1 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
crDROID : v3.5 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
AOSGPX : 7.1.2 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
There are also ROMs for the Elephone P8000, however the first time I tried one I got into a bootloop. It could just have been that I didn't wipe my caches, or it could have been a fault in the ROM; nonetheless I haven't tried any others from that device.
I couldn't find any for other devices, let me know if you see others.
Here is the factory firmware, as according to this post (Direct Download).
Also, the stock recovery: Original Post | Direct Download.

Im currently running crDroid and I couldn't be happier. Runs far better than the original firmware and the useless marshmallow update.

Have you encountered any bugs with crDroid? Did screen on time and standby increase by any good margin because doze and other os optimizations? With stock I get 7hrs SOT with LTE half the day. 5hrs if Skype calls and such.

Only bug so far is the kill app button not working (long press the back button) and sometimes after reboot sim cards not being detected. Usually it corrects itself after a few minutes. If not, I'll just re-flash the fix
Battery gets drained pretty fast compared to lollipop, but then again I used lollipop with xposed, greenify and amplify.

Happy to hear only minor bugs. I'm waiting on black Friday SD card to ship and then I'll be able to test too.
On lollipop all I needed to use was power nap to kill unwanted wake locks. I'll definitely try to get it to work because batter life is important to me. Only reason I'm upgrading is because of older exploits that stock didn't get updates for. Other than that stock with xposed is extremely stable for me.(30-60 days between reboots)
Do you know if crDroid is using stock lollipop kernel or is it a ported kernel? That would effect battery life greatly I suppose.

review of roms
Review time. Installed and tested these roms by wiping dalvik cache, system, data, cache and internal storage. Flashed ROM then gapps then "front camera flash" patch lastly flashed sim patch. Afterwards I wiped cache and dalvik cache again before rebooting. Once I had access to settings I disabled display live/night mode/blue filter for all ROMs.
All the roms tested used about 1GB of ram (and stock ROM being around <600MB.).
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : Looks to me a part of this rom was made by another group of people that were not given credit.. Default browser loads the homepage of the other group. The system FM radio app was asking for root permission(denied it). Also it had email services running before I added any accounts can't remember this being the norm. Other than that this ROM ran the best in terms of speed and ui. Uninstalled because of security concerns.
LineageOS : 14.1 : This ROM has about the same speed as resurrection which is good but the ui stuttered/not smooth. Uninstalled because ported by same user as resurrection.
crDROID : v3.5 : This one ran the worse. It was slow and stuttered throughout the ui. Missed some customizations that Resurrection had so not sure why any one would want to use this instead.
AOSGPX : Didn't bother installing because last I heard they copied and pasted code from crDRoid.
At the end of the day I reverted back to stock because of security concerns. As well as having more ram available for apps. If I had more than one phone phone I would wireshark/test connections of the ROMs to confirm but I do not have. Hopfully this helps someone.

Uninstalled because of security concerns.
LineageOS : 14.1 : This ROM has about the same speed as resurrection which is good but the ui stuttered/not smooth. Uninstalled because ported by same user as resurrection.
crDROID : v3.5 : This one ran the worse. It was slow and stuttered throughout the ui. Missed some customizations that Resurrection had so not sure why any one would want to use this instead.
AOSGPX : Didn't bother installing because last I heard they copied and pasted code from crDRoid.
At the end of the day I reverted back to stock because of security concerns. As well as having more ram available for apps. If I had more than one phone phone I would wireshark/test connections of the ROMs to confirm but I do not have. Hopfully this helps someone.

Just wondering with the ROM testing, did you disable the LiveDisplay nonsense? It drops my FPS to about 10, and is enabled by default.
Sorry, didn't read your whole post. I didn't find UI stuttering unless I enabled weird kernel stuff, or had L Speed installed.

Does anyone happen to know if any of these ROMs fix the problem that the official MM caused which was that all camera apps created a very dark image and took extremely dark photos?

Im using crDroid and yes, it fixes it. That is one of the main reasons why I decided to keep it and got rid of Marshmallow.

Hmm... sounds good. Any issues with that ROM? Slow downs, wonky USB port, minijack works ok, etc?

sucktastic battery life (not like the original firmware was good to begin with) no compass (gmaps will point north regardless of your orientation) as soon as you install the google app (okay google!) the device will run a bit slower.

Oh, ok... well in that case, that doesn't exactly help things. I'm gonna go back to Lollipop rooted to take out the bloatware. Can you recommend a way of doing that that is known to work well?

SP flash tool, scatter file and the original firmware (not a flashable zip). It's all in the original BLOX thread, buried somewhere there. Flash TWRP recovery using adb fastboot and flash super su with twrp recovery for root access.

Wow, thorough, thanks. Don't know what half those things are but I'll look them up. I guess there's no way to go straight back to Lollipop without flashing a stock ROM. I mean, by rooting it now maybe and then downgrading or something?

You could flash a lollipop twrp backup, if anyone uploaded one or if you made one before. But if you don't have it, only way is by sp flash tool and original firmware (which is not a recovery flashable zip).

Been using the Crdroid rom for a few weeks now. Havn't had any lag or extreme battery issues. Im interested in trying the resurrection remix rom since it was tested to be the fastest, tho them security issues are kinda holding me back. One thing im lookin for is front camera flash and back aswell. on Crdroid u cannot toggle it in the camera app, tho the flash works.

What are these security issues people are mentioning? Isn't a ROM a ROM? I don't get it.
Also, if crDroid works fine, you could just try any other camera app. There are several that are quite good. I wish there were videos of crDroid.

I mean with what's going on with Kaspersky being investigated for allowing certain trogens to work undetected and Kaspersky is own by Russians and since when does fm radio need root access.
Just a bit sketchy you know... But it could be just over-thinking it.

But the thing is you don't know what else has been tampered with.
