Hey OP, everything's just great! But still the battery issue isn't fixed yet, at Night it dropped from 55% to 32% without any usage or Wi-Fi on. I hope you'll soon come up with an update as you mentioned. Cheers, rest everything's smooth and great, no delay with the hardware buttons too!


Regards, MR.

I have tried using this ROM lookwise it is an awesome one working good but only there are some issues that are came across are :

• I am using phils recovery.

• 
  I have install just ROM without updates it worked fine.Asap I have install only update no bettery workaround it started to show FC in all cases like UI, OOES at boot time etc.

• 
  Sound it bit low but can be adjusted from Engineering mode

• 
  Battery consumption is high even after applying Battery workaround

• 
  After sometime playstore giving error authentication failed even if I am logged in using usual account of Gmail

First look is awesome. Performance is gr8. Sound is a bit low. Camera is showing 8mega pixels only, but still fine for this monster. Battery is draining pretty fast. Charged 100% and device was locked. Havent used for 4 hrs 30min. and battery was down to 67%.
One thing that i have observed is :
In audio profiles there are two audio enhancements
1.BesAudEnh
2.BesLoudness
If i enable both, close settings and reopen again the BesLoudness is going disabled automatically.

EDITED : While on call if we try to use keypad the other caller was able to listen beep sounds which is not happening while on other call. Just came to know.

Hope in next update sound boosting and battery draining will be fixed.

Thanks a lot for your grate efforts in presenting this ROM.

ROM is smooth and quite responsive, games worked well for me. Good job @Siddhesh.K15 :good:
but there were some issues like:
1. Battery drain, although device doesnt heatup still drains very fast even after applying battery tweaks. Also i noticed that cpu is not going into deep sleep mode, maybe thats the reason for battery drain.
2. Gravitybox(KK) crashes.
3. Camera: rear is 8mp & front is vga and HDR doesn't seem to work, force closes (tried other third party apps too)
4. The equiliser in Fusion app doesn't work, means the effects don't get applied.
Hope all this get fixed in next update.

Thanks for your review. Battert drain is still issue so we have provided the patch to reduce it to some extent. Gravitybox wont work as it is for pure aosp roms and this is themed rom. And the 3 rd and 4 th are purely hive issue we will look forward to make hive ota updates compatible with our device

Well the FC you face is becasue you flashed all zips at once . I have alredy mentioned to first flash rom then let it boot to system and do inistial setup google and all. Then again come back to recovery and flash update patch.

It asked to register Xolo, there is only one option: 'OK' so i press the back button in order not to register. Then a sms came with my imei, when I looked at my usage from service provider, I saw that also a sms was send and a fee charged.
