CyanogenMod 12.1​

I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, 
or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you 
have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before 
flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the 
finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Note: If you're on Miui 7, flash the following stock ROM zip before flashing any of the custom ROM available on the forum.

[This post stands deprecated as of the latest release. ]
First of all I'd like to thanks dh.harald, smoki3, k2wl and everyone else who helped in building up the device tree.
In other ROMs, the biggest problem is of random reboots/shutdowns and that Clash of Clans is not working. Initially, I spent for over a week to fix those bugs but really couldn't find what actually causes the above two issues.
The problem lies in the kernel because flashing intersectRaven kernel or the stock kernel for that matter fixes the above two issues.
Unfortunately, I couldn't track down the commit in the mi4i-dev/dh.harald kernel source which causes these problems.

So, I started with the stock kernel, booted it with CM, made WiFi drivers working and applied the patches from intersectRaven's kernel source.
Now everything is working with no random shutdowns and with CoC working.

I'll keep maintaining this ROM now.
Also, I'm not planning to bump the kernel version because I have feeling that some change while bumping the kernel version only is what caused the problem in the first place. Neither does bumping the kernel version gives any performance boosts.
However, I'll keep making important changes in the kernel as required.

going to try this once i figure out why my CM12.1 goes to black screen at startup

 

[cbhawsar]

camera performance?

Thanks for taking out time to build this, I am looking for a pure stock experience in Mi4i and your build seems to be very close.

Can you please post some camera shots taken indoor and outdoor?

For installation, just factory reset from twrp or full wipe (include wipe system)???.

 

[m4gg0t]

btw you should write how to install.

Is it as smooth as Wilson3q's build. The reason why I'm comparing is that out of all the custom ROMs out there, I find his ROM the smoothest.

I get the recent apps swiping lag. I made the mistake of flashing the stock gapps so now im re-flashing and flashing the kernal. But so far it seems good other then a little issue i had with APNs and data.
The setup screen is actually very laggy and i don't have a keyboard to type in my wifi password.

Added the instructions in the 3rd post.

I haven't used his build. I can't say how does it stand in comparison to his build.
In this release, I aimed more at getting the bugs fixed (random shutdowns and CoC not working) which were becoming too annoying.

I'll now be focusing more on making it even smoother.
I'd suggest you to try and see for yourself how it stands.

I flashing dh.harald's build now as i couldn't go past the setup screen cause play services kept crashing after i re-flashed the rom and gapps.

I'm reinstalling your build currently.

I remember I was also getting that crash. I guess I've fixed that in my build.

Feel free to post bugs.

how can I re-flash gapps? I want to replace most of the AOSP apps with Google apps.

Twrp > factory reset > flash rom > flash gapps > rebot. Done!!.
Use open gapps, choose ARM64 5.1 STOCK.
Messaging replaced by messenger
Cm camera replaced by Google camera
Email replaced by gmail
Gallery replaced by photo
[your device will like nexus device with STOCK gapps]
Look screenshoot..

Thx a lot! Though the stock has a lot of the Google apps that I don't want to have installed, like Google docs, earth, fitness, sheets, slide, android pay.

I don't understand, this ROM already has Raven's tweaks
