Hello
I am using android lollipop on my MI3W
I made a backup using cwm recovery
It was first it was in shell I moved it to save space now I am unable to restore the backup using cwm it says no files found.
I tried to move the backup files back files to shell but I lost my root access
I also tried push command using adb it starts copying but gives "protocol error"
After some time and recovery restarts.
Any help will be appreciated

Too Many mixer-path.XML Files

In system this ROM has too many mixer_path.xml files

Can anyone tell me which one i have too edit to get nice volume from speakers. the volume is too low when i play songs. although ringer volume is also low but manageable,

Please Help me!

Thanks!!

good job

Works well but...

For me there is no random reboots or FCs. But, I am having a few other problems. a) The ear-piece is not working. I have to switch the phone to speaker to listen to the incoming call. Tried re-installing but the problem remains. (No, it is not a hardware problem, works fine with other ROMs.) b) WhatsApp, Telegram etc. fails to connect to their servers (even if internet is available and browser / gmail / facebook etc. works fine).

UPDATE: Ear-piece is working, but I had to dial someone and increase the volume while on call. I wonder how it changed to '0' automatically.

For rooting just flash latest supersu flashable zip via cwm/twrp. After boot manually install supersu apk. It work

Can you upload files to another link

 

[RedArch]

Hello, sorry to bother here, can i ask if this device is tegra 4i? And if it is so maybe someone can share some knowledge about how to find the boot.img, I want to unlock the bootloader for my lg g2 mini and i am reaching out for some devs that work the tegra architecture. Thanks and sorry to bother in your forum!

Ivan has released a new build.

 

[Joethedemon]

Ok, in the last build it seems there is not deep sleep.
But the problem is with RILJ. I tried six times until I achieved deep sleep.
The difference between all my tries was... the moment I wrote the PIN of my SIMcard.
I can get deep sleep if I wait some minutes with the screen locked before I touch anything in my phone. Simply turn it on, wait, and when you switch the screen on, it must show the PIN screen. Then you will have deep sleep.
If you turn on the mobile and you don't wait until the PIN screen is showing, but you unlock the phone and then the SIM screen appears, you will not get deep sleep.
Can anyone confirm? It works for me.
Thanks.

I flashed the rom, the one without gaaps as many in the miui forum reported that they flashed the gaaps one and their device didn't go to deep sleep.I later flashed minimal gaaps. Deepsleep is working for me!

 

[HoiFung]

Ivan has released today a new version.
