Hell man, i was 50% done porting MIUI v3 to our tattoo and you do it . Good job. MediaFire mirror please...

I found a couple of annoying things in this rom,
1. The names of folders and apps in the launcher are ither too blured or too small
2. In camera settings, picture size there is lets say 2048 x 1536 (Chinese Stuff), I think it is saying 3M
3. In the notification bar, when you pull it down it says the date which is on the left enge end it`s sticking to it, maby to push it a bit right or even center the damn thing
4. When you take the Clock 2x4 and put it on your home screen it just says loading widget and it stays like that forever
5. Missing or I don`t look in the right way, Screen calibration app
6. The music widget has a big line across it, and a thin one going from the top to bottom.
Other then that, great ROM, blazing fast. Camera quality awsome.
EDIT:
7. Chinese text when adding a new contact via Dialer

Thanks...I will try to fix them in the coming days....I have exams now...also I would like to tell everyone to not press the torch app..cause if u click it once u will never get your lockscreen back even after rebooting...u will have to reset again...I will remove the app in next release!!!
About the Music Widget..the two lines donot appear when a music cover art is shown.

[q] which kernel is this miui using?
ciao, the interface is very nice. I would give a try. Just a question: which kernel is using?

cpu
Man, this rom is nice but I can barely boot into it becouse my phone can't work @675 Mhz. Can you set the cpu clock speed @633 or @614 Mhz for us who have problems with higher speeds?

Did you flash Gapps after flashing the ROM....cause if you don't it will boot loop...the cpu default is 652mhz...I overclocked it on my phone to 675mhz

...
Yes, I flashed them immediately but when my phone boots, it works for 2 mins, then loses signal and reboot.

Thats strange..not happened to me...Have been using it for 2 days now...after you boot try reducing the speed from the settings<system<cyanogenmod settings<performance
As soon as it boots i think it says system not responding...did you force close it then??if you did then dont the next time!

Well, first when I flashed this rom and gapps, it booted to the setup wizard and told me to click on the android. It wasn't responding and it told me to wait or force close it. I clicked on force close and then continued to set up my mail account but my phone crashed and rebooted. After that, my phone skipped the set up wizard and booted to lock screen but becouse of a little bit higher speed, it crashed and rebooted. And after that, it could work for 2-3 mins. and rebooted again.
If I want to go to settings, it crashes(becouse of cpu speed).
I reflashed the rom and the gapps again(did full wipe) but after that I couldn't pass the android.
It seems it's a nice rom so I would like you to fix it and downclock the cpu @614 so people like me can enter the rom. I'm pretty sure that it will work good @614, 633.

The click the android thingy happened to me too, i was polite at first, waited. When i realised that he is messing with me, I said a few F words and clicked all over the place and i got around it somehow
EDIT. Had to reflash due to F****** Torch app, find out a way to bypass it, when it says touch android, hold the back button, it will ask to enable long press back to kill app, enable it. Then long press back to kill it, it should reopen, but when you click the android it should crash so FC it and viola you bypassed the F****** thing

I will release an update today removing the torch app, add HTC calibration, some build.prop tweaks...won't be able to do the resizing in this one...will do in next update.
Also can anyone confirm that long pressing the home button doesn't bring up the recent apps list?

New Release

[Q] Backlight of Softkeys

Hi there!
I want to disable the backlights of the softkeys, without installing an ad-filled apk.
I have installed Slimrom 4.3 from maclaw.pl and the setting to turn backlight off is invisible.
If you go with an rooted file explorer to /sys/class/leds/brightness and switch the value to 0, the backlight immediately turns off.
But if u restart the phone the value is changed everytime to 1 and the Backlight is back on.
So i thought i could write a script, that do this job for me., everytime i start my phome. The script is in the attachments.
Can anyone check if the script is okay? I dont want to brick my phone
And Do you know where the autostart folder for android devices is (like in windows), ive read something about kernel init or something.
And if i want to make a flashable zip out of this script, How to make it? because i dont want everytime i flash an update to work in the system.
Thanks for your time

Go to system settings-buttons-backlight & disable it. If that option it's not present on slim, simply download this. Don't mess with any system file cause this ain't a xperia phone:laugh:

Thanks, but my device is not listed under supported devices in this app and i dont want to keep a 3rd party app running that increases the battery drain and takes ram away. i prefer a little script at system start.
And no the option is not listed in the settings.

Okay i found that folder it is localized in /system/etc/init.d
I copied the file to there and it is workimg, on every restart the buttons keeps off.
But how to make a flashable zip with that file? is it enough to create a zip with the folder system and its contents are only th underfolder and the file?

Don't think so is good script, because when you got a notification than BLN turn on lights again and will be stay it on to second boot.

sorry my very first try.
i will look on my device, if this happens to me too

The only problem i had was with whatsapp, if u get a message there, the light keeps on till restart.
But in settings - notifications - lights in whatsapp u can turn off the notification lights and then the problem is solved. ( standard is white )

[Q&A] [ROM][GPL]Clean_Cm_7.2[26-05-2014]

Q&A for [ROM][GPL]Clean_Cm_7.2[26-05-2014]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:

Possible bug
First of all: Awesome ROM! Never knew CM 7.2 could be this fast and stable!
Second: I've possibly found two bugs:
1, Entering "Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Lockscreen settings/Delay and timeout" always cause a FC.
Always.
Have tried rebooting and shutting down but the FC remain.
2, Power button does not activate lockscreen, it only shuts the screen off. Pressing power button again or home button will go directly to home screen. The only way to activate lockscreen is to let screen timeout.
Have tried different screen locks but nothing makes power button behave differently.
I've searched around in setting for a way around this but so far unsuccessfull.
Maybe the two issues are related.
And now some requests:
* A big button keyboard? Stock was good with big buttons for my sausage fingers.
* Ability to easily add foreign language keyboards (not system language) and dictionaries.
* Remove delete thread confirmation in messages.
* Remove confirmation when enabling storage by USB connection.
* Ability to easily add sounds without trying to find the setting for each event. Still haven't found out how to change the alarm sound...

I'm not really sure what is causing your problems as I never faced these issues. My suggestion is the following.
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Format system
3. Wipe data&factory reset
4. Install Rom
5. Reboot
6. Reboot again
I take it, that you did not change the Rom package?

Trust me, I tried that one, but couldn't get it to work. I even tried copying the function of the xposed module..

This is fairly easy, just drop the sounds into /system/media/audio/alarms
Our create a folder structure like media/sounds/alarms on your sdcard.
I hope that helps.

Thank you for the help!
The "Delay and timeout" setting kept getting FC, until I went into security setting and disabled all security (pattern, pin, e.t.c.).
After that there was no more FC, and I could change the settings in "Delay and timeout". This also fixed the other "bug" which was power button not locking screen. Subsequently I could again change back security settings to pattern.
The other things I can live with! :laugh:
B.t.w. do you know any kernel that supports adaptive undervolting/overvolting combined with underclocking/overclocking? Also, is there any better governor than "ondemand"?
Suggestions for task killers? Many recommend Greenify but it won't run on android 2.3.x.
My aim is to have maximum battery life when on standby, while still having good performance in times of need.
Thanks again!

I will dig out my old mini and see if I can reproduce that bug. I never used any security pattern, so that might be the reason I never had any trouble.

I don't think that there is a kernel that supports custom uv for the galaxy mini. However I found that the ondemand governor works very well. I could never really complain leaving it on 600 mhz. I have to admit though that it is an old phone, so don't expect any wonders .
My battery backup was always a minimum of 2 days, but I don't do any gaming. I used my phone as a phone... ( And a bit of music and internet).
Taskkillers are generally a bad idea, as they will just cause a cat and mouse game between them and a dodgy app. I'm not sure if the xposed module (I think the name is something with service disable) was backported to gingerbread. Anyway I never used it and if you want to try something maybe go for "auto start disabler free" from the playstore. That is what I used.
I hope this helps to enjoy your mini a bit more

New bug
OK I guess I have to play around with settings and apps to see how battery life can be extended.
B.t.w. I found a new bug: Camera shutter sound can't be disabled. Even when turned off in CM settings the camera will still play the click.

This is the best rom i have been used
its light, fast, and very stable.
thats what i want

I have 2 questions,,is this rom for galaxy mini gt-s5570..and can i flash over jellybean rom with full wipes,or do i have to revert to stock first?

you can just wipe and then flash this rom..
i'm from jelly bean rom too, and i'd do that

Damn man! Your ROM is completely stable, really like it a lot .. I personally recommended this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499191 to you guys cause it is looks PERFECT to combine with the HOLO Launcher by Mobint, if you guys confront with lagging issue, just use this setting (Setting > CyanogenMod setting > Performance > CPU Setting & select Governors choose to PERFORMANCE and set MAX CPU Frequency to 806 MHz & reboot

ICS Theme that I found
This theme i found on xda is a great companion with this rom and HOLO Launcher

Bootsplash
Can I flash a "bootsplash.zip" in this ROM?

Make a backup first and then try...
Next time try to ask in a nice way and I might test it for you...

Wooaar? Its seems I can't flash the "bootanimation.zip" [installation aborted]
S5 bootanimation that I dig from xda website
you should reconsidered to place back the GINGERBREAD "Zombie ART" picture as it will brings an original ROM feels ... and sorry for asking that way the other day, it was a joke, sorry dude .. btw you did really a good job

Since when is a boot animation flashable anyway? You should just put it into system/media.
But I also deleted the script that executes the boot animation from /bin, so you would have to replace that as well.
I will not put the zombie art back in, as it is of no use, but just steals space.

Already tried to put it at system/media, but didn't works .. tell me about the script please? how to replace it
and take a look at this dude http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708316

This is indeed a flashable zip. Two things come to my mind.
1. Your recovery simply doesn't like the zip. Which version are you using?
2. Your zip is broken. Maybe the download did not finish?
In either way you have to replace the bootanimation binary in /bin. You can grab it from any rom, replace it and give it the proper permissions. Our you wait till I come back home and upload it for you.

I use yagya CWM 5.0.2.8 Touch recovery and indeed I finished the download 100% using IDM .. really hope you can help me .. thanks btw

Ok, as I have no power for today and my laptop is empty I quickly patched something up in my phone. I'm not sure if that is going to work...
Give it a shot and let me know.
Flash via recovery.

Installation complete but still blank screen & about the binary you ask me to grab it on another rom, you mean any rom?? including other phone rom?? as I do not download any custom rom for Galaxy Mini other than yours & my internet is not as fast as light tho, could you upload the binary script?? then replace it using root explorer right? then what is the proper permission to put on that binary script later?

[MOD][LIB][A5 2015 & A7 variants] Enable/Disable TouchKey Lights

WHAT IS THIS?
It is just a simple mod to turn off the TouchKey Light permanently without the need to install boot time scripts or 3rd party apps. If you're not familiar with the name, maybe SoftKey Button Light or the Recents/Menu and Back button key lights will give you the idea. This will not disable or break the button functions itself, just the lights.
now before i get post replies saying "but on {insert rom name} by {insert developer name} you could turn ON/OFF this feature from {insert menu name}".. i'm going to make it clear :
This mod is intended to be used on A500 variants with Custom ROM and NOT Stock Based ROMS, at the time of writing, most (if not all) custom roms/kernel for A5 can't turn this off permanently
This mod is intended only for people who want the touchkey lights to be OFF all the time/permanently
TECHNICAL NOTES
I'm almost embarrassed releasing this and calling this a mod, but then again there must be some other people that surely want this feature but have no clue how to turn this off. so here it goes :silly:
The library modded is /system/lib/hw/lights.msm8916.so *duh*
patched offset is at BD8 or 3032 and it's a 1 byte patch which effectively forcing the lib to push value 0 to /sys/class/sec/../../devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness everytime it is triggered to turn on the lights.
list of events/triggers affected by this mod
rt5033-charger-online
msm-usb-online
mmc0 (mount/dismount i think)
mmc1 (mount/dismount i think)
rt5033-fuelgauge-online
ps-online
wireless-online
usb-online
ac-online
battery-charging-or-full
battery-charging
battery-full
battery-charging-blink-full-solid
making a boot time script to write 0 to brightness won't make permanent change because there are low level events that triggers the lib to push value 1.
making a service to always set the value to 0 isn't an elegant solution also because it will hog up your memory.
revoking permissions (if you can) to brightness will likely derp the logger and may cause wakelocks.
PREREQUISITES
1. As mentioned earlier, you must have a custom rom installed.
2. Custom recovery to flash this zip. (using flashfire, flashify and similar tools have not been tested, you could try and report)
3. Downloaded modded lib zip file and saved to your device
INSTALLATION / REVERTING
Golden rule : make backups before doing these steps, or just backup this file : /system/lib/hw/lights.msm8916.so
i have tested these zips on my device several of times without issue
Method 1 :
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash zip (A500x_TouchkeyLibPatcher-Twiq.zip)
3. Enjoy :highfive:
Method 2 : no longer used
1. Extract lights.msm8916.so from the zip file and put it in your device's storage
2. Using filemanager with elevated permissions (Root Explorer, Mixplorer etc) copy the file into /system/lib/hw/
3. If you could set Owner/Group then set it to ROOT then set the permission to 644 or -rw-r-r-
4. reboot and enjoy :highfive:
if my provided libs are not working out for you please attach your original lib here so i can take a look at it.

note: don't worry about the zip's filename, it should work fine with A7 too..
it's perfectly safe, library with unknown checksums will not be patched or replaced
15/08/2016
I have removed the old flashable zip and replaced it with a better and safer one as it checks for MD5 checksums, library with unknown checksums will not be patched or replaced.
With some shell script magic, now you only need 1 flashable zip to conveniently toggle On/Off the lights.
Flash OFF, Flash ON :highfive:

if you need the old lib, just request it here. And if your lib is not supported by the patcher, attach your original lib here and i'll take a look

Work fine, very thanks bro. :good:

no problem, just attach your lights.*.so from /system/lib/hw here so i could take a peek

Attached file /system/lib/hw/lights.goldfish.so
From a Samsung A510M with ROM Stock MM 6.0.1
@ Twiq : Thaaaanks!!!

i took a quick peek and it looked very different.
do you have any other lights.*.so inside your /system/lib/hw/ ?
like lights.msm8939.so or lights.default.so maybe?

I have samsung A510F and i sharing my hw folder and files. Please check it

sorry for not noticing earlier..
You're running stock rom and therefor you don't need to edit any libs at all to turn off your touchkey lights.
you only need to go to System Settings > Display > scroll down to bottom and you'll see Touch Key Light Duration, set it to Always Off and you're good to go
edit: if you're still interested in this mod lib, could you also post any lights.*.so from /system/vendor/lib/hw if there are any
thanks

Thank you !
Why don't you develope something to make "softbutton notification" for our devices?

the feature you're referring is called BLN (backlight notification), it blinks light or giving breathing effect on touchkey lights whenever you have a notification. It has to be supported by the kernel and not software sided
you will have to look for an experienced kernel developer for that

apparently the lib you provided could not be modded with just a simple patch and a bit beyond my skills right now. i will take a look at it again this weekend, but no promises

A700FD variant
Attached is the lights.msm8916.so file zipped, from my A700FD running a custom ROM.
I would appreciate it if you could take a look at it and inform me if anything can be done to get this mod to work with this variant.
Thank you!

H850 Quick charge wich screen on MOD

Quick charge wich screen ON without overheat MOD.
Full speed 3100mA even play hard game like WOT Blitz etc.
I use this setting at 4 mount and don't have any problem.
Just delete .txt and replaced orginal file (after get backup) in folder /ETC, give permission rw-r-r and restart device.
Or use Magisk module zip.
This work on H850 fulmic 3.3 rom and maybe work wich stock rom.
Tx to ReVanTis for Magisk module.

Thanks. Quick Charging with screen on working, i test it myself

How about we make it Magisk!
Let me know if it works or not.
I only checked the /system/etc/thermal-engine-8996.conf content did changed but not sure if it makes any difference.

Hey guys, I downloaded the above .zip and now not sure how to proceed. I am fairly new to XDA and not entirely sure about many of the things on here.
When I open the file in file manager, I get a few folders and .gitattributes, config.sh, and module.prop , as being extractable.
Any assistance would be grand.

I'm on the regilar, factory OS, no root or ROMs, if that's relevant to anything.

You'll need to be rooted in order to use this.

Ah ok. Well then. I guess that's that, as I don't have access to a PC for that kinda stuff. Thanks for the reply though!

I would still add a warning despite the fact that it's speaking for itself as LG, Samsung etc would have kept it enabled if it was no big deal. I think despite by some it won't overheat, that in some cases it will really overheat and idk how the battery's handling it. It just sounds unsafe for long term.

7 mouth use this settings and no problems, battery life still same as new.
The only problem that can occur is the burnout of the screen but only wich static element's snd max screen lights.
That's is Lg screen problems.

Just to be clear it's a Magisk module.
If your G5 is not rooted with Magisk you probably won't be able to use it (Fulmics is pre-rooted with Magisk by default).

Screen burnout can be fixed by changing color settings
RGB =240
Minimum =35
Saturation =50-60(as you like)
Value = 130
Contrast = 130
Hue = 1520
That's it.

Will this work with other variants?

It might. It's a magisk module which means that it can easily be removed in worst case scenarios.

Wow, it actually works. I'll report how it goes

What app do you use to change the settings?

Kernel adiutor

I wouldn't do this. Especially when the G5 has a removable battery where one can just swap over a fully charged one.. My experience with the G4 is that it overheated terribly when screen on and plugged in. Strangely the overheating was worse with standard charger rather than the fastcharger. I think this very much attributed to the bootloop issue. Not that I'm saying the G5 suffers from the same fault but I wouldn't take the risk. The G5 charges so fast when on fastcharger that I would think it wise to just leave it as it is.

I installed it under Magisk (17.1 ) Modules and it failed with error msg
" Copying zip to temp dir
Installing charger_tweaker.zip
Mounting /system, /vendor, /data, /cache
/data/magisk isn't setup properly !
Please install Magisk v14+
Installation failed
Any idea ?

I also tried it on my lg H850 (stock rom) but during the flashing it reports a problem and doesn't work
