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.

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!

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

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

@faust93: what is with battery drain?

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...

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...

@dagrim1: hope, Pumbaster fix this problem!

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...

Screen Shots
Screen shots added.

For those who are interested in encrypting the data partition. Remember, there is no longer any visible slowdown. What you need to do before or after encryption is to enable "Disable HW overlay" in Developer Options. There is a catch, though: this won't stick after reboot unless you implement an init.d script that will take care of this.
Here is the script : http://d-h.st/QIiE
Download the script by using the blue button (unless you want their ridiculous exe. download manager)
Put the script into /system/etc/init.d with at least 750 permission and reboot. You will see that Disable HW overlay option is ticked by default.
Also, I recommend ADB shell encrypting, as opposed to doing it from Security menu for several reasons: first with ADB you are not limited by 16 characters, you can use a passphrase that you can remember and no one can break; second, in Security menu, encryption will use your pin password (which is short) to encrypt. Remember, you only need a long passphrase to boot, and if your rom has "soft reboot", you don't need to enter password at all. Here is how to do it:
1. Go to Security menu and enable Pin/Password/Pattern or None. Your screen password could be short, as it is independent from boot password.
2. Next, pick a long boot password. You need to convert it into hex: just use this site https://www.online-toolz.com/tools/text-hex-convertor.php for conversion. Now, copy your hexed password (for future pasting).
3. Next, go to Developer Options and enable ADB; Root for ADB + APPS
4. Connect your phone to your computer
5. Open Terminal and type "adb shell" without quotes and press enter
6 Then type "su" also no quotes and press enter
7. Now type the following without quotes: vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace password HERE PASTE YOUR ACTUAL HEXED PASSWORD and press enter. Remember, don't type HERE PASTE YOUR PASSWORD, instead paste your hexed password there.
8. After you press enter, your phone will reboot and start encrypting. In a few minutes, you will get another reboot and a prompt for boot password. Here, enter your actual password (not the hexed one). Your phone will boot and you can check in the Security options that your phone is encrypted.
Enjoy.

Encryption has nothing to do with gapps crashing. The only thing that could be related is android_logger=n in kernel. I guess gsf can't log your every key stroke without that function in kernel. So, any other lp kernel would do. I may recompile the kernel with that option on.

Good compilation
My previos ROM was RR. Trying this. Data was restored from RR is normal.
I like this Validus ROM
All what I want is included + Black Theme (Default)

The only two roms that work with Xposed Xprivacy from start are my versions of Resurection Remixed and Slim LP (remember, I have SElinux disabled in my kernels). So, if you want those, flash Resurection, then install your favorite apps including Xposed and Xprivacy, then backup the data. Then do a clean flash of Validus, then flash Xposed binary (before rebooting), then restore Data from Resurection and reboot. It works. If you look at screenshots I posted, you will see I have Xprivacy working.

I actually like thia ROm and the default theme too. Been using since flashing and gapps work. Had a few issues but flashed banks gapps and they worked fine

Does this have low LED bug? Can't see LED... tried xposed that works though:

Do I understand correctly that gapps will not work here? Could the missing module be shipped and downloaded as 'ko' file or does it have to be compiled in?

Doesn't work. if i restore data from RR in validus, i end up in bootloop even though I have only installed Xposed/Xprivacy in RR..
Can't use RR because LED is tooo low.
Would keep an eye, till the time validus by itself can support Xprivacy (if it does !)
Thanks...

I'm currently trying to mount the sdcard which is ext4 formatted. I can mount it manually via the shell, but vold won't notice any of that. I guess I need to figure out how to persistently change /fstab.qcom file.

[RECOVERY][TWRP][dragon]

April 1, 2017 .. and it's not an April Fools' Day Joke --> TWRP for Pixel C is official now !
https://twrp.me/google/googlepixelc.html
I would like to continue this thread for publishing test builds and other troubleshooting.
Once the changes are stable and tested I will merge them into TeamWin github for the next official build.
Known issues:
- FBE (file based encryption) is not working correctly, pls use FDE (full disk encryption) instead.
fwtool
The "fix fastboot" advanced menu item has been removed as it's not part of the official TWRP sources.
The fwtool is still existing (/sbin/fwtool) - only the menu item has gone.
If you need the fwtool, to fix fastboot, you can use it like before, but now you have to type the command into terminal inside TWRP.
For more details, pls have a look here .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64777133&postcount=96
Installation:
Please install the new version from your current TWRP.
Pls make a "reboot to recovery" once you have installed the new version.
Of course you can install it via fastboot too.

Thanks for the feedback ..
Did you install something before .. maybe still mounted from before ?
Or you just made the backup only ?
Which partitions did you backup ? .. system as well .. or just data ?
Pls post recovery.log on pastebin.com .. helps a lot !
Thanks

Yup... just the system partition.

Hey. I'm back. Considering taking the risk and installing TWRP again. Will I still be able to take OTAs? No, right?

You did flash system-vendor update.zip via fastboot ?
No good idea.
The kernel and the TWRP are fine to flash via fastboot, but not the system.img and vendor.img.
Like written on first page of the updatr.zip thread.
Pls install the package via TWRP.
Or use unmodified stock image from Google for fastboot.
For recovery bootloop I know only "fastboot reboot".
I had the bootloop once myself, as I still was on M, but the command did help me.

I am not the OTA User
As I know, the tool "flashfire" from Chainfire should handle the whole OTA process smoothly.
The Update.zip packages I do anyway, because I am used to it .. over the years.
Did this for Nexus Flo ... Nexus 10 as well.
For Pixel C I just publish them, because nobody as else is doing it.
Look in Flo and manta xda .. They have these packages too, done by others.
Because of all the problems with OTA .. in the past ..and still today.
Today we have systemless root and regular OTA...times are changing.
Maybe it's time for something like flashfire in the next time ..

sorry I made a typo :
I meant Update.ZIP_PixelC_Ryu_NPD56N-kernel-dragon.zip ( I extracted boot.img)

This should work .. the boot.img is just stock.
Were you rooted and decrypted before?
You did install SuperSu afterwards ?
And 'fastboot reboot' did not help either ?
People have reported they had to go back to M to be able to boot again.
There was one recovery bootloop with stock recovery as well ,
Maybe you try another kernel (boot.img) too ?
A fresh one .. below from the stock kernel
Strange issue .. for me not reproducable at all!
Sorry, can't help you better ..

Any bugs u encountered so far. Video playback/some lags/restarts?

I have no words to describe except what @OoSTARTERoO said.
I am starting to really love my mipad.
Kudos to @highwaystar_ru
Camera is working fine.
I will check with Antutu after some time.
Anyway, I cannot seem to use sd card as internal storage .. is this a bug ?

I think I mis-explained. I can access SD card from file manager, but, I cannot set it as Internal Storage - adoptable storage feature of MM roms.
---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------
OK ... found a solution to gapps installation.
1) Install the rom
2) Boot
3) Reboot to recovery
4) Backup the ROM in SD Card (internal will be erased)
5) Wipe - advanced - select all except SD card & OTG
6) Reboot to recovery
7) Restore the backup from SD card
8) Reboot to recovery (again)
9) Install gapps (I use pico)
10) Reboot.

I used this ROM and almost everything is OK except HW decoding in MX Player / VLC.
There're some lags when I watch movie with MX / VLC.
Otherwise, very good ROM, thx.

Here's an easier and quicker way to install gapps:
-> Repartition /system
-> Install the ROM
-> From the TWRP main menu, select Wipe -> Select Advanced -> Select the system partition and click on Repair or change file system
-> Click on resize
-> After the process is done, flash gapps.
This would mean no waiting for twrp to backup and restore the entire partition. Fair warning though, I have tested this on one of my other devices, not the Mi Pad. Though I am pretty sure it'll work, it'll help if someone tried it and reported so that it can be added to the OP.

As is said before. saver and god of mipad(MOCHA) @highwaystar_ru.

Is this really good for daily use?

@highwaystar_ru can't we install gapps pico version without merging the memory.

Nope. Partition is too small and free space after installing ROM is about 73mb. Pico gapps requires about 140 mb.

(Guide) How to merge system1 & system2. And how to flash CM13.
1. Download the bin file from : here
2. Place it in /sbin folder in root using any root file explorer, set permissions 755 (check image in attachments)
3. Download Repartition zip from : here
4. Reboot into recovery.
5. Flash Repartition zip (downloaded in step 3). After flashing this recovery will reboot automatically.
6. Now Wipe everything except internal and external storage. (Create backup of your current ROM just in case, if you want.)
7. Flash latest Lineage OS 13 zip.
8. Go to Wipe > Advance > Select 'System' > Repair and Resize Filesystem > Resize file system.
9. Go back and flash gapps zip + superuser zip.
10. Reboot now

Guys you won't believe it this ROM is amazing. This is smoothest ROM on mi pad . I'm sharing some screen shots . Thisron worth a shot folks.

[SGSI][Pie][Semi-bugless]MIUI 11

Welcome to MIUI sGSI For Galaxy J7 2017

Read the instructions and the F.A.Q Before installing the rom or posting a reply.
I don't own any files here, except patch files.
So, we are here with sGSI. It's normally called "unstable" and "not for daily usage" so users are recommended to go for GSI. But GSI lacks features and has AOSP-like design that some users may be bored of that. And now we finally break that law. sGSI can now be used as daily drivers.
As the nature of these sGSI go, it was a non stop battle for almost 3 weeks straight to get it to this point where all features are working as expected. if you appreacite this work Hit the Thanks button
RULES OF POSTING : READ everything before commenting, And especially the instlal steps, the rom has been tested throughly for a long time, so if you have an critical issue like not booting or no sim, you missed the instructions, posts that are irrelevant to this project will be ignored(Constructive criticism is welcomed). If you do face a new bug however, dont just say "hey bug here" provide more information, and a LOGCAT, bug reports without logcats will most likely be ignored.

One more

does the rom have some type of error for daily use

VoLTE : Not work, need flash Magisk Module and using Phone App to VoLTE work
All work normal, just a Android Pie but like Android Q MIUI :good:
Great work

The first boot is so longer? I've waiting more than 10 minutes and don't boot. Or is bootloop?
And i've not found the MIUI-Patch.zip, only sGSI-Patch.zip

What android version is this? Can i flash the official magisk? There's no camera stretch bug? Like other gsi rom?

Nice

Updated FAQ and sGSI patch. I forgot to add an important fix in patch, so anyone using this MIUI, reflash the new patch right now :good:

I tried again, followed all the steps as requested. On the first boot, I restarted the phone after approximately 30 seconds. But I still bootloop. I'm using Project Spaget 3.0, but I can't find a topic in the forum. Could you send me your Project Spaget zip file?
My logcat is on attachments

nfc not working. I installed the fix on the twrp and it failed, I had to install the fix when I started the cell phone so that it did not give me an error and it appears as a module installed in magisk but it does not work

Working fine but having bug
I have a bug with the WhatsApp application when viewing the stories that contain videos are not played and the app freezes.
I attach my log Cat about the error

I have problems with external storage, the system does recognize it but with third-party apps such as file explorer or streaming apps like spotify they don't detect external storage, I've tried to modify the vold.fstab and nothing. some fix they have
