[ROM][2017-10-22][UNOFFICIAL] XenonHD ROM for Mix 2 (Chiron) [7.1.2]

[AndyYan]

Just as an FYI for you since you tried to help (and others if they have this issue) and if you have other users asking about it. I fixed the Google Camera modded apks crashing.

As mentioned in this thread (https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdaforums.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177/amp/) there are 2 files that have to be deleted after flashing certain gapps.

/System/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
and
/System/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml

Ohh... Reminds me though, I had those files installed while trying to get my own GCam installation to work, and yes I also met FCs. Didn't know some GAPPS would bring this with them too. Thanks for letting us know.

The red builds work perfectly on my phone. But not for video.

hdr+ works without toggling on and off?

Just got this phone and wanted to know if this rom will work on Verizon? Or just miui global is what's working on Verizon.

It does support Verizon bands frequencies. Question is will Verizon let you use this phone on there network. Give them a call or switch to T-Mobile or At&t

using this rom, any video I watch on the youtube app gets all chopped up and without sound. Can't get it to work no matter what kind of video I try to watch on youtube. Is that a known bug? I did a clean flash, coming from epic rom nougat

I've seen others complain about issues like this (I believe in other ROMs). I have not had this issue on Xenon. I would suggest looking for the firmware updates thread. I had flashed the china dev nougat firmware myself. While it is odd it would be a firmware issue, that seems to be the way to fix it.

EDIT: so it is the firmware. If you were on an oreo based rom, you need to flash nougat firmware.

Hello, I flashed this rom yesterday and it's fantastic, but theres one problem: Poweramp crashes on albumart loading in albums list. After googling a bit I think it's a rom problem, crashlog below:

I think it's likely firmware. I installed the trial version on mine & album art loads fine. I couldn't get it to crash.
What ROM did you use before loading xenon?

I used MIUI global, but I wiped everything before flashing, including data. I have more than 1.5k songs, mb that's needed condition.

I'm having some battery life issues lately. Running the latest build from the beginning of January. In the beginning my battery life was more or less ok, but these last few days it drains really really fast. I removed any new apps I installed, but around 5pm my battery life is at 15% or lower. I need to top off for the evening every day.

Battery usage is as follows:
Android System 12%
Android OS 7%
Screen 6% (1h42m)
Phone idle 5%
And then my apps.

I have location services on and bluetooth + WiFi. Using 2 sims with 4g in an area with good reception. Spending 99% of the time on WiFi.

Any idea why battery life would degrade over time?

No idea whats happening but I can confirm that I have the same issue. My phone is losing 30% battery over night where doze should kick in (on MIUI for example, I was losing less than 10%)

Indeed the aosp battery life is really poor. On miui global I'm losing 2% overnight. On aosp(any rom) I lose about 10-20%. It sucks because as much as I want to use this rom, the battery life just turns me away. You'd think with less bloatware the battery life would be amazing. I'm getting around 7 hours of SOT on miui now and the game I'm playing (tap Titans 2) barely heats up the phone on miui but on any aosp rom I can feel the heat through my casing

Not sure what's causing it for you.

This is from my LOS build, built from the same trees as john's XHD. I'm using Brevent and Greenify to help manage background apps.

Those that are having YouTube videos being choppy. Install build prop editor on play store. And change audio.deep_buffer.media from true to false.

Worked for me

Guys, been flashing for years but when buying this beauty I got stuck with MIUI. It's not that bad but I wanna switch to this one. Can't get rid of my old ways, lol. The only drawback seems to be SOT here. With MIUI EU I get around 8 hrs. No gaming but evyrything else. Would like to know your thouthgts as you've been with this Rom way too long. BTW I am impressed with what the dev(s) done here.

9h of SoT? I can not even dream of that. I barely get that in standby as it were.

Most likely going back to miui (the horror!) until a newer build that fixes it comes out. Unfortunately the phone is not really usable like this. Smooth as ****, but lasts too short.

I don't have to use anything in miui to get a similar battery life. So why would I need to use greenify to get something similar. Also I'm getting my SOT while gaming as well.


I'll try it again. What base are you using @AndyYan , China or global?

Before running the latest Xenon build, I installed the global ROM and relocked my phone using the MIUI app. Then I unlocked it. Did the full wipe shebang and installed Xenon HD. As clean as it gets I guess ?

Just reinstalled EPIC Rom. My battery life is like 5 times better already. Still at 60% after a day of heavy use (reinstalling everything). Battery would have been dead twice by now on XenonHD . It just sucks that MIUI is so horrible compared to XenonHD )

China Dev.
MIUI has some built-in RAM / background management measures, while AOSP/LOS don't, so I see it's natural to have to manually compensate for it.
Admittedly I have my screen brightness set to a fixed, somewhat low value for the most of the time (indoors), but I did try having it bright and the SOT is still 7h+.

It might be annoying but will this ROM ever support Volte. Here in India this is necessary for Jio carrier.
