[faust93]

CyanogenMod 11 with crDroid additions for Xiaomi MiPad

!! IMPORTANT !!
xep.8800.org will be temporarely down from 29.03.15 for couple of weeks so it would be great if somebody do mirror of latest buld and post link here. Thx!

About:

Source built CM except proprietary blobs and binary kernel from stock MIUI rom.
This is not a port from another binary rom.

What's working:

It seems everything working for now..

Not working/Bugs:

"Wi-Fi region code" setting is broken. Do not touch it or it will break your wi-fi.
you tell me.. testing in progess..

Instructions:

1. Install CWM Recovery
2. Do Full Wipe If coming from another ROM
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash Google Apps (my recommendation is to install minipal gapps due to /system partition size limits)
5. Reboot

Multirom Instructions:

1. Install TWRP Multirom Recovery
2. Reboot into TWRP and install multirom-20150205-v30-UNOFFICIAL-mocha.zip
3. Click "Advanced->Multirom" and flash your desired second rom.
4. Return to the installed roms listing, click fresh installed rom and click "Remove boot.img" (Due to closed kernel sources kexec-hardboot is not implemented so we need to remove boot.img)
5. Reboot. Select your desired rom from multirom menu

I don't know if it is actually compiled with TEGRA optimizations but have created CWM flashable zip with stock bionic libraries. You can flash it on top of CM installation:
tegra_bionic.zip

I take no responsibility for what this may or may not do to your device.
Do not forget to click Donate button! It makes me work harder!

Thanks Pumbaster for your work!

My device doesn't seem to go to sleep...

WakeLockDetector shows Android System --> ConnectivityService as the main issue. BetterBatteryStats shows the same...
I tried turning location services off, froze Mobile Data and Mobile Network Configuration in Titanium Backup but that doesn't help. No checking if the same wakelock appears with wifi off...

Anyone with any clue? Or the same problem?

Will check the ROM and tell you dagrim.

But first thing first, I have to install it. And I have 2 questions, to avoid screwing things.

- Does it works with TWRP instead of CWM?
- Is there a reason to have a June version of minimal gapps where a version of December exist?

Thanks to everyone in the process (romers, informers, helpers)

I used pico gapps myself and the june version is way smaller then the december version, then again I actually did try the december version as well and it seemed to work fine. So not sure, apart from the size...

About TWRP vs CWM, not sure. Guess it also should work with TWRP but haven't tried... CWM is needed for True Dual Boot, but that seems bugged anyway.

 

[zolikaDB]

By me too. Battery drain is to much, device don't go to sleep...

 

[dagrim1]

By me too. Battery drain is to much, device don't go to sleep...

Yeah, seems to be a common issue.

My device only goes to sleep when wifi is turned completely off. When I have it set to turn off when display is off I still get the wakelocks. I also have set the scanning for open wifi to off, location services turned off, etc.

For now I flashed back to the 0114 version as that one is working fine here...

If I can share some logs or anything, I'd be more then happy to!

 

[zolikaDB]

@dagrim1: I hope, Pumbaster make new, fixed build

 

[Legacyleader]

I Encounter Graphical Glitches with 3rd Party Browsers (Opera and UC Browser)
Chrome works fine so far. Also heavy Battery drain an 17/1

 

[zolikaDB]

@faust93: what is with battery drain?

 

[dagrim1]

Did a very dirty try or replacing frameworks.jar but that didn't work...

Saw some wifiStateTracker errors and that and ConnectivityService seemed to be part of the framework, that's why I gave it a shot. 0118 still has the deespleep/wakelock issue btw...

 

[Krystanos]

I don't really care about dual boot. MIUI has so much limits. Once I go to CM, I don't think I'll be able to come back to MIUI...

But I'll stick to CWM, just in case...

I just tried the wpa_supplicant.bin file posted by pumbaster on 4pda and it seems to solve the deepsleep issues!

Post 351 of the custom mipad 4.4.4. rom thread there...

http://xep.8800.org/mipad/wpa_supplicant.bin

Place in system/bin and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x

@faust93: I hope you don't mind me posting this here but I saw you posted links to the same location in the topic start, if so my apologies and I will remove it asap (but I am going to sleep now, so won't be up until next morning...)

Also had some iussues with stuttering video playback, but setting 'disable hardware overlay' in developer settings fixed that for now...
Thanks for the awesome work!

Is this bin file integrated in 2015.01.18 build? What do you know about this ROM? Did you test it?

I don't believe it's integrated in 0118, think that fixes some sd stuff...

I am currently running the 0118 build (with the wpa_supplicant.bin file replaced manually) and seems to be working pretty fine. Had some video issues with a certain app (video jumping a bit, stuttering) but think I fixed that with 'disable hardware overlay' in developer options.

Without the replaced .bin I also had a problem with turning off and on wifi. It would work when booting, but if I turned it off I couldn't turn it on again... The replaced .bin also fixes that. Now checking if antutu finishes it's run...

 

[zolikaDB]

@dagrim1: hope, Pumbaster fix this problem!

 

[Krystanos]

Just another small question: full wipe will delete the /data partition too right ? So the ROM zip file will be deleted too ? Or am I missing something ?
Thanks.

I tried to install with TWRP and when I reboot, I get to MIUI v6 so I guess it rebooted in the wrong system.

Unfortunately I tried to install CWM with fastboot and it failed to install... No specific error message.
I have seen a port of TWRP for MiPad. Have you tried this one, or the standard one?

How I wish I could just flash CM on my MiPad...
