Got only one info that is this update reduces heat/thermal algorithm improvement.
I wonder there has been a marginal battery life improvement(not sure though) as the earlier version 6.5.4.0 I felt that battery drain was high.
Thanks

Just my thought! I feel as if I'm getting more screen time with the same kind of usage after the 6.5.5.0 update. Shared my usage details here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60970024
Battery (screen time)
The phone also seems slower than before. Maybe they've tweaked the cpu governor parameters to make it less aggressive, making it cooler but at the cost of snappiness.

Hit Thanks :thumbup: if you found it useful!

Yes this update was mainly for the overheating issues from the above two comments it seems this is update is doing good and i agree on the screen time to maybe others should help by giving their reviews with the new update

I saw significant improvement in battery drain after the 6.5.5.0 update. Prev it used to drain approx 1% every 10-15 minutes on idle, now its quite stable and sticking up longer!

Hello,

Thanks

Marshmallow problem??? H955

Hi guys. First sorry for my bad english i learned from video games im greek. I have lg g flex 2 today i upgrade to mm 6.0.1 i install antutu to check score but it was so bad on lolipop i had 64k bad too. Now i saw so much overheating and a little laggy. Can you guys give me a solution to boost mt phone and not overheating as now and boost antutu score? Go back to stock and install root or?

i downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 yestday and rooted, and it's feel much better than 6.0.1, my english is so poor...:crying:haha

Did u read all steps in tutorial? u need to wait a few days to let marshmallow to settle and than test it.

Hey i did factory reset but the same and more overheatings lag and etc. Any solution to cool down my cpus temp and less lag . i feel bad about this phone its really beautiful it deserves more

As for me. My phone is much smoother on mm then lollipop rooted and governors. Maybe couple h less battery, but games run much better. Nfs no limits was lagging as hell before. After upgrade it runs decent. Not perfect, but at least twice better than before.

Im not experiencing any overheating problems nor lags,everything is fast,especially compared to 5.1.1. Antutu is however the same as before,nothing really impressive,but i dont care that much. However, what others say that they got SOT about 4 hours,in experiencing SOT 2hrs at max,really often about +/-1h 30min which is really strange and together with small storage only downside of this phone.
To your problem,maybe the OS wasnt installed well or there might be an app that causes this slow down,check it in settings which app takes so much RAM and try to shut it down/uninstall when isnt needed. If that wont help,then all you can do is download KDZ with 5.1.1,load it and then maybe try to reload the 6.0.1. But dont be surprised if you jump from the one app to another that your system slows down,especially with just 2GB RAM it takes when its fully loaded. And heating while gaming is quite normal,every phone does that sooner or later,we are unlucky because of SD 810 it happens sooner.

Root and custom rom or stock

Hello i have the pixel for about 1 week and is really an amazing phone, the best android i have ever had probably, maybe in pair with HTC ONE M8, is near perfect but one of the points that keeps me on android is the posibility of customizing things and improve some thing about a phone, sound, camera, themes, battery, and many other factors.
I used to change phones so quickly since i buy and sell them and test in the while, but didnt find a phone good enough yet, and the pixel is near perfect in every way possible. But i see it almost has no development, i was surprised when i checked forums and didnt find much development.
Well lets go directly in my "problem" lets call it like that:
Things i would like to do on the Pixel are:
1- Customize themes, something like samsung and oneplus offers, the ability to change themes, like making it completely black in settings and menu.
2- Improve the sound, since this is one of the weakest points in the phone, i want to improve it and activate the frontal speaker.
3- Add Miracast, since i use a lot this and i dont know why google took it.
4- Improve a little more the battery, i have an excellent battery life on the pixel 5" like 5/6 hours of SOT in a whole day, but i thing it can goes a little better.
I know all of these can be done with root and custom kernel and roms, but i would like to know if i will lose something rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
For example in my previus Nexus 6P the camera has damaged after rooting then when returned to stock it worked back well.
1- Do i need to root to install any custom kernel and rom ?
2- Do i need to unlock bootloader to install custom kernel and rom?
For example im planning to put franco kernel and pure nexus rom, i will lose something doing this?do i have to unlock bootloader to do this?
Thank you very much for your answers. Regards

You will need to unlock bootloader to do any mods. Even to root.
Personally I use Pure Nexus ROM and it's amazing. Full themeing with Substratum is there. Lots of tweaks. There is a WETA mod for audio that adds Viper4Android driver.
Two Roms that seem to be very stable are Pure Nexus and Dirty Unicorns.

Thanks for the fast answer. So I don't lose anything opening the bootloader? And what about battery life. On stock in getting superb battery life. You use any custom kernel?

By the questions you asked I take it you're pretty new at installing custom roms? I'd say don't do it and be happy with what you get with stock Android. Bet you 10 to 1 you'll brick your Pixel.

Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data so if you decide to do it, back things up first.

No i am not new at all in this I have installed custom Roms on hundreds of devices from different Brands. I have been customized phone since Sony Ericsson devices before android. But any device is different is not the same procedure to root unlock and install things on Samsung Motorola and HTC any has its own way.
I just asking these because I'm Nexus devices rooting caused camera problems. And the pixel is so amazing like it it's already not like most devices that needs several things to work good. But if I can improve some things without loosing anything I would like to install customs and mods.

Just for my 2 cents, regarding battery life I've tried stock, stock rooted, PureNexus, and custom kernels. By far the best battery life has been stock + rooted with Greenify using aggressive doze and hibernating many apps. I actually had much worse battery life with PureNexus and both Franco kernel and stock, lots of wake locks.

Nice but aggressive doze doesnt means you lose notifications from apps when you lock the device. Like WhatsApp Facebook Tapatalk notifications. I'm getting near 6 hours of SOT in wifi I'm really amazed with it.

I still get notifications in near real-time. I think what you're talking about is when you hibernate apps. I have some social media apps not hibernated, and those come through while my phone is idle with the screen off, while apps that are hibernated come through delayed which I don't mind.

Just to throw in my opinion, most Google devices (Nexus and Pixel) have enough hardware power to last beyond the support life cycle. If this is your daily driver, I'd wait and research until you no longer receive new versions of the OS. At that point tweak the phone to your heart's content. That's just my opinion though.

Nice. I have to try that apk I read several times for years about it but never used. If you have time you could send me your setup of Greenify and the apps you hibernate. Thanks a lot.

Stock vs ROM
I ran stock for a while and tried PureNexus. I love the PureNexus ROM, and I can't say I had any problems running it. I tried installing the Hexa ROM, but I could never get it to install the GAPPs correctly, so I reverted back to PureNexus. I've run it rooted and unrooted, no difference that I can see, other than running some apps like Titanium backup and I want to know if something is trying to request root access.

Which "Stable" ROM is better for everyday use.

Hello everyone.
I've had my Mi4c for a more than 2 years now. I've been using Xiaomi.eu 8.1.2.0 ROM for a while and I realized that the phone gets hot even with just a light web-browsing. This started to bother me recently. So here I am asking if anyone can please suggest a "stable" ROM [or at least, one that doesn't need to be updated every week or so].
My usage of the phone is pretty basic: emails, calls and sms.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

From my experience CM and MIUI based on Nougat are inconsistent in terms of battery life. You can try MIUI based on 5.1 from Xiaomi.eu or RR. I highly recommend the last one with the exception of camera and mobile signal(optimal yet weaker than on MIUI).
I didn't have heating problems so I can't give my advice on that.
I would say the race for a stable Rom never ends.
*Also you can try MIUI based on Nougat + Charged Mod from Xda. Seems to improve battery life by 20% at least.
Have a nice day!

Thank you for your prompt reply.
So are you suggesting that I should stick to Android 5 and/or 6?
What about TeamSuperluminal latest stable? Is it any good?

I would suggest you start with 6.12.22. See if it does the job for you. Then upgrade to one of the MIUI Nougat variants, I suggest you wait the next week weekly rom because at the moment there is a bug involving Google play Store and Nougat MIUI rom.
The transition from 6.12.22 to Nougat MIUI needs to be done via updater. After this, gone is your twrp as well as unlocked bootloader. Apply for unlock, unlock it, get twrp 3.0.3.0, flash it, get the latest build of RR 5.8.2.
6.12.22 - Nougat MIUI - RR 5.8.2. You can stop at any point in this transition if the rom fits your needs.
*I tried CM 13 from TS. I got 3,5 hours of SOT, medium to heavy use. Camera performance and mobile signal are mediocre. I would recommend RR 5.8.1 over this {+ it does not lock bootloader and its based on 7. 1.1.}

I recommend at least trying TeamSuperluminal CM13 123116 build. I have been running it for almost 2 months now. Very stable, good battery life, and overall faster than MIUI. I have no problems with MIUI, but 2GB RAM in my phone just wasn't enough for MIUI.

I've been using slimrom 1.7 for about 5 months now and i have to say that it's great and stable enough for daily use. Miui is just not for me and I plan to upgrade to aicp when i got some extra free time to spare.
Overall, i like the simple approach to make the rom light. The only hiccup sometimes is the camera and flashlight, it won't open. But reboot fixes it.

CrDroid Oreo version for Mi4c

How is your opinion about this ROM.
It is very good and customizable with a ton of options.
Only thing that is boring sometimes is lag when open apps. Waiting for 4-5 seconds to.open it.
Does someone know how to avoid that lag?

You can try to install the hate kernel, because their cpu scheduling is different, it may improve your experience.

I haven't found an Oreo ROM for 4C that equals a Nougat ROM ( for example, AEX or RR) in terms of speed and lagness.

But messing in the Settings, menus and that kind of stuff on a fresh installation seems to me the same as in Nougat. On my phone, lag appears in crDroid O (and all the Oreo builds) when I'm switching and reloading apps, with many apps installed and many processes running in the background. In this situation (regular use, not setting up the phone) I feel Nougat is better than Oreo.

Well, I'm not really complaining about Oreo, I know it was a hard work for its developers and builders and all the enthusiastic guys involved. The real accomplish was to be able to install and use Oreo for Mi 4C, almost bug-free. There are many alternatives to Oreo for Mi4C, even now, when devs are leaving its boat for other devices. MIUI 10 it's on its way, but LOS 14.1 is still developing - great work!
Personally, I'm using latest AEX Nougat and I'm happy.

Hi Gourcuff 14.
Thanks for yours tips. It was necessary to wipe also data (internal storage) to avoid bootloop. All apps, contacts restored.
I'm giving up - no dialer during incoming call.

LineageOS ftw
I use LineageOS found here for some half a year without any issues as a daily driver.
The only two things that i found missing are no vibration and the fact i can not find a way to activate Camera2API, so i can not use Gcam mods. But these are not really an issue tbh.
