• Boot into Recovery

Did you clean flash? I have used this rom for nearly 3 week with my smartwatch and bluetooth ear. No problem at all

Yep, always that. So maybe conflict with some app? How to get out this trouble?

Hi Sicmosh,
Thank you for your hard work, firstly.
Secondly, I have a question : which one of your roms gives the best battery life? I am using your latest Mokee now, and everything goes smoothly. but I am also considering installing your PAC-MAN or Cyanogenmod or Resurrection Remix if you say that battery performance is better.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Thanks in advance.

It is difficult to say because the battery coverage depends on many factors such as the level of acceptance of mobile network, a set of applications installed on the phone, etc. And what about the firmware, they are almost identical because they are builded on the same device tree have the same fixes on power consumption. Only through personal experience can understand what is best for you.

http://en.miui.com/thread-366116-1-1.html mr anderson has managed to get the goodix sensor working on his port for miui global, perhaps he can help with getting it working here as well?

Don`t work only Goodix fingerprint sensor.

only newer ones have the goodix sensor. when did you buy it?

also, the miui factory debug/test menu *#*#4636#*#* or smth like that, should list the sensor type

edit: either you had some other rom and you didnt do full wipes or you have the goodix one... i upgraded mine without wipes from simosh's prev version and it works.... does the sensor work for you in other custom roms? or ported miuis?
