What should I do in order to get a stock android experience feel on the MIUI 6?
I was thinking about installing the Google Now launcher, any suggestions apart from that?
Also to keep my phone snappy and lag free, what monthly maintenance should I do? I have had horrible experience with my Galaxy Note and do not want to happen that to my Mi4i
Will it be good enough to use it without a screen protector and external cover??

Got my Mi4i today, installed the Google Now launcher and made it default... But this will not change the pull down notification/toggles shade UI or the lockscreen UI... If you want a full level stock lollipop experience, you will have to root it and then modify the ROM/flash a CM ROM, when it becomes available...
If you head over to mi.com India site, you'll get a sim card tray and screen protector from Xiaomi for free on purchase of Mi4i/redmi 2....
Weekly Maintenance: There is nothing as such which u can do apart from keeping it away from bloat wares
Using without Cover & Screen Guard would depend completely on your usage - If you can manage it like that - Go without them. I personally would be using it without any covers and stuff
If you really want a Stock Exp - Flash CM once its ported for Mi4i or any other AOSP Based ROM.
Thanks, but MIUI6 is awesome!
I used to prefer stock android, but MIUI6 just works, it has a solution for almost everything. And it is very very convenient. I am loving the ROM, especially the fusion of the best of android features with the copied elegance of iOS.
Little things like leaving the screen to where the app was last accessed makes a lot of difference.
Battery life is surprisingly awesome.
I got a screen time of 6+ hours after the first recharge, which is mind blowing.
Hope it continues.
Over all the phone is very cool in the hand and smooth in operation
i got 8+ hrs sot on first charge
MIUI 6 is pretty good!

I agree, I was (perhaps still am) a big fan of the stock experience, but the MIUI 6 is so intuitively designed and looks so gorgeous that I have started liking it!

i got a scratch on screen when it was in same pocket where i kept keys. So don't even think of using without tempered glass or screenguard. :crying:
I feel the same, Some how I do not like MIUI, I always like Stock Android experience.
Only way to experience is b installing Google Now Launcher. But this doesn't work quite well on this device. It shows black pages in App drawer and black rectangular boxes on home page...
Maybe need to wait to get this device rooted.....
miui is lagging like hell, its beauty but is lagging very very very much, i hate it
I just thought the same!
My only reason to stay on MIUI is due to its camera. I was thinking somehow remove all the memory hogging MIUI crap except the camera and install some launcher like Nova.
Need some help regarding which files are safe to remove so the phone + camera app works
non expandable storage kills the mobile or else its good

If you want to switch, flash these -
1)Resurrection Remix (ROM)
2)Snapdragon Camera V2 (Keep the camera quality intact)
3)Viper4Android (Fix bad speaker and greatly improve jack audio)
4)Sensei Kernel (no heating issues - EVER, butter smooth performance all around, nearly a 2 day battery life)
With Snapdragon Camera -
Go to settings, change Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness to Level 6(Sharpness Level 2 is horrible)
Keep in mind that these settings can reset themselves after switching between HDR and normal, so check those first.
Enable Wavelet Denoise Mode too!
For Sensei Kernel -
1) Use zzmove governor for the big cores (high power), interactive for the LITTLE cores (low power).
2) Alucard CPU Hotplug - Max cores on screen on - 8, screen off - 2
3) I/O scheduler - zen, set read ahead to 1024kB
Now head over to Configurations in the Settings menu, go to performance tuning and force GPU for 2D rendering. This will affect battery life a little but will eliminate any kind of lag.
This is all I did and I'm very, very satisfied.

Thanks for the reply . I will give RR ROM a try too.
Though I have installed the SD camera on MIUI itself but the quality is not as good as MIUI camera. I have to say though SD camera is the only replacement for custom ROMs

Yeah, that's true. Every other camera lags so much.
I tend to hang on to my every phone for long, and when it's time to upgrade, I just like to slap updated ROM onto it and keep it a bit more. Problem is, It's been years since I stopped playing around with now ancient HTC Desire, so I'm all new to this ROM development jargon... again. And it wasn't like I grasped it fully before.
Anyway, CM is dead, and that was always my choice for Custom ROMs. Stock looking, feeling and performing, with just a few little touches to make ti more usable. Like the profiles that become active on different triggers.
So, now I wonder...
What is the best 7.1.1. ROM for Nexus 5, and by that I mean: good battery, performance, and stock look?
Does recovery play a huge role in it?
What about the kernel?
Anything else that I'm missing?
Youre talking about stock? Fake nexus rom.
I guess the only real stock is AOSP. Right?
Other than that, there are ones that look like stock, and those that are heavily skinned with Comic Sans fonts, weird color schemes and whatnot.
I loved CM for looking like stock, and having a few extra options that don't radically change the way it works.
I'll check FakeNexus ROM. Thanks!
Yes, AOSP is stock.
I personally use the AOSP Nougat ROM by Santhosh with blu_spark kernel and it's giving great performance and battery life.
This ROM is AOSP with some little features added like doube tap to sleep, volume rocker wake and night light
Even the green flickering issue by recorded videos is solved in the latest build in this ROM.

Yes, it is stable enough for daily use: celluar data, wifi, bluetooth, location, hotspot, great performance and battery life, ...
Everything works well on this ROM.
Google Camera v3.2 takes good pictures & HDR works too on v3.2. I can record videos in 1080p without stuttering and green flickering. Pictures and videos looks sharp and clear.
For me, it's like an official update from Google
Dark Rom (pixel features) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-dark-rom-t3492150
can any one tell me PUBG Performance in stock vs elite. I'm currently on stock nougat and PUBG Performance is ok not very smooth.
is over clocked kernel will help??
Overclocked kernel does not help much. For smooth playable FPS you're still gonna have to play on the lowest setting. All thanks to our 1080p screen bundled with a cheap GPU.
Don't know about elite ROM though.
Flased AOSP 8.1 os working like butter smooth and PUBG Performance increased and battery drain reduced upto some mark. Best gsi rom for honor 6x with stock finger print gestures.

Its a shame that we cannot enjoy better graphics on this phone. Low looks trash as compared to the higher settings.
Hello everyone
A few hours ago, Firmware Finder received .150 firmware update for C185 models. I personally downloaded it even though there was no change log and updated using Hurupdater. I had noticed no changes at a first glance but then i moved to settings to confirm that the phone had updated. It said GPU Turbo below my version number. I decided to check out a graphically intensive game I play called 'Honkai Impact 3rd' on max graphics and 60fps which would heat down the phone within a few missions and there would also be quite a few stutters when alot of special effects would be going on at the same time before. I can confirm that since the update that the stutters have been reduced but most importantly, the phone hasn't been heating up as much in game after an hour of playtime. Battery life has been noticeably better too as there is less drain for sure. This is just my experience, can't wait for everyone else to get it as well, so I can know what is happening (whether GPU Turbo is actually on or not). For now though, I'll be testing more games to see how the phone is doing but I'm liking this so far.
very good news
In China, there have been a lot reports of the phone getting even hotter, the battery draining faster and the camera being more sensitive to flaring (esp. in night mode). I'm curious if people here will confirm or if these bugs have been fixed in the meantime. Personally, I think I won't update to .150 when it's out, better to wait a few weeks =)
Better battery drain during gaming or even in general use?

From my experience (which is less than a full day) the phone doesn't get as hot as it normally did before the update unless I play extensively for about an hour straight. Any less and I've been seeing good heat management so far. Of course I'm still in the early stages of testing and cannot comment further until 3-4 days of testing.

So battery life definitely seems better when i was playing my regular games., I'll need some time before I can comment on regular use. I'll try updating the thread after a few days of testing.
Interesting news! Any antutu or other benchmark result?
Still waiting 130 update for C432 model of p20 pro.
Funny how some areas gets updates so much faster although same phone model.
What about normal apps specially Google photos. Is it any smoother with no lag or stutters ??
Hi, please check the slo-mo 960fps recording.... Any improvements in the alleged artifacts during 32x slow videos? Huawei is using framerate interpolation for it which throws in visible artifacts during close up slow motion...

For everyone interested to know benchmark results, to my disappointment, results on Antutu, Geekbench and 3d mark remain very similar to those prior to the update. Which is very strange indeed as I'm definitely noticing an improvement in battery life, device heat management and fps slightly whilst gaming. It is possible that im running a test build and have not been running a full taste of Gpu Turbo, and it's also possible that Huawei's claim of 'Gpu Turbo' just means much better device thermal manamagement for more consistent FPS and battery life. Lastly, it is also possible thst Gpu turbo isn't even on since this is a test build and it's just that they've tweaked device performance and improved battery life compared to the previous version I was on (. 130). Thus I cannot judge fully and I'm waiting on an update to prove me wrong. I check firmware finder everyday and love testing new things. Although if what I'm experiencing is actually gpu turbo then I do not mind as at the very least, I see some improvement in battery life.

Scrolling has been super smooth. Google photos has been super snappy. The only app I see causing any scroll lag at this time is Twitter and that I'd blame the app itself rather than Huawei. I think it's definitely more fluid than the previous version of the software I was on but it is not heavily noticeable as both were very smooth for the most part.

I took this opportunity to compare the slow mo performance to my Mom's S9+. I believe the artifacts are still present as I see lines and weird effects popping up randomly which I do not see on the S9+.
Gpu turbo is only for games so you won't notice any improvement other that in gaming, that's why there is an special application tor that "game suite" that you can enable the acceleration.
I'm running b150 for a few days and so far the phone is better from before in term of small tweaks here and there and i noticed the front camera is better now,not perfect but very usable.
The battery has improved a little but but it was very good before too.
I had read that the antutu would be similar to snapdragon 845. I guess it was just a lie.

Oh thanks for the info, I actually didn't notice this and yes I see games running much nicer with the setting turned on. However, they also heat up the phone quicker and drain alot of battery life. Should you choose to turn the option off however, you notice the same games don't drain as much battery life anymore and the phone doesn't heat up as much and the battery life is noticeably better than before the update.

That's pretty good considering you're gaming. I'm definitely getting atleast 7-8 hours of sot when I'm not going all out and about 5-6 on maxed out heavy gaming for most of the day. Even with the Gaming Optimization turned on the phone doesn't heat up alot as long as you're in a well ventilated environment. Im not much of a heavy gamer myself but definitely see better fps on Csr Racing 2 (used to lag a bit in the garage) and Honkai Impact 3rd with optimization in gaming suite on. Honkai is definitely giving me 60 fps in 90% of the scenarios so the lag is barely noticeable unlike before. As for benchmarks, unfortunately you cannot add benchmark related apps to the game optimize feature so the GPU turbo can't be turned on for them. Strangely enough, every other app (even regular apps) can be optimized.
Hey guys I'm looking for the best custom room and kernel mix I'm currently on b14 of oos with the latest release of smurfkernel and xXx on magisk and getting around 5h of SOT and amazing gaming performance also I'm looking to get a better battery life and more features than the one oos gives they are just not enough so I just want to know what setup your running and if u can share settings and pictures for the battery performance constant not just your best please thanks to all of you guys out there

My favourite setup is Pixel Experience CAF + it's stock kernel, with Servicely from Franco running to prevent wakelocks from social apps. The phone lasts two days with normal usage. Lasts a whole day with 7/8h SOT. The stock kernel is perfect, better battery than Smurf, faster than Blu.Spark, really half-way between those two kernels.
I like OOS 9.0.4 with Smurf too, or OmniRom.
But i love the Pixel 3 feel of PE. Smooth as hell, even more than OOS. On top of that it has Pixel 3 AOD, integrated with the official live wallpapers, Now Playing, Digital Wellbeing, Google Pay, Pie Gestures (which are very fluid and cool to use, unlike on OOS where they are kinda broken and unresponsive, and you can still disable them), everything works like a charm. It also has a system-wide dark mode.
RAM management is also much better than OOS, and you can remap the Alert Slider positions (I set Do Not Disturb on the top position, much better than Silence), and set vibration strengh for calls, notifications, and system.
It's not a ROM that offers tons of customizations though, apart from what i wrote above. But it's polished, super fast, and has very good battery backup.

Dash Charging works like it should, and for the camera, i'm using this port of GCam (beta 20 build) : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-xtrme/
Everything works including SlowMo, Portrait, Photosphere ... And quality is on par with OOS in lit conditions, but way better in low light. The app is especially snappy and responsive. That's not related to the ROM though, it's mostly thanks to this amazing GCam port. Best i found so far.

No problem ! Remember, this is a CAF build. So you have to Format your whole storage (not just Factory Reset) for it to boot for the first time.
It's a Security Patch issue commom to current CAF ROMs, you have to remove encryption to boot the first time. And the only way is to Format the internal storage.

Stands for "Code Aurora Forums". Basically, it's an AOSP branch maintained by Qualcomm. ROMs built on it (Like LineageOS for example) instead of pure AOSP are optimized with specific code from Qualcomm, so normally run faster and more efficiently on Snapdragon processors.
It's not a new thing, but the more you know !
Comparing the AOSP builds and the new CAF build of Pixel Experience, it is indeed faster and more responsive. Very neat.
But currently, most custom kernels aren't compatible with CAF ROMs (from what i've read anyway, haven't tried myself yet). So you won't be able to use Smurf on CAF ROMs (except if that changed haha).

Auto brightness learns your preferences so it will adapt. When it's too low, turn it up a bit, it will remember. But i never thought it was too dim.
You also have a "High Brightness mode" accessible through a quick setting in the status bar that boosts the brightness. But don't use it for more than a few minutes, it could damage the display. It gets brighter that what OnePlus intended.

Havoc is a good choice !
I just updated to the latest GCam Stable, the 1.4, in red on this page :
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Added the OP6 config file that you can download with it, Motion Photos work in Google Photos.
This build is even better that the one I linked previously, try it !
It even has Focus Tracking, which recognizes objects and keeps the focus on them when they move, it's amazing

Added the OP6 config file that you can download with it, Motion Photos work in Google Photos.
This build is even better that the one I linked previously, try it !
It even has Focus Tracking, which recognizes objects and keeps the focus on them when they move, it's amazing

Thanks you ! It's a little better, but not have 3 seconds of gif, only 1 second. On my OnePlus 3 with Android 8 i get a longer motion photo, on google website they talk about 3 seconds for Motion photo.
Sometime pics make Google Photo crash, it very annoying because I felt everyone does not care about Motion Photo, i'm alone with my dumb trouble

I've got around 1 second of motion too ! And yes i had a motion photo crash the Photos app once too, but it didn't happen after this ... Probably still not perfectly stable

Ok thank you, i think we cannot get better for now. I find this strange because, i see many people want TopShot feature, but with a 1 second gif, i find it not very useful.
