FAQ / How to
FAQ
Q : I got md5 check error or some verification error message in OTA updater.
A: Please clear OTA app data. Open Settings > Apps > OTA Updater > Clear Data
Q: Do I need to full wipe before install this ROM
A: It depend on which rom you currently used.
If you came from others rom, you must do full wipe (Clean to install new ROM in Philz touch recovery)
If you upgrade from this rom older version, you can flash without any wipe
Q: I have installed custom kernel but TricksterMod or other CPU control apps cannot set cpu config at boot.
A: Those apps may need auto start permission. Please enable this permission for that apps in Security app > Permission > Auto-start Management. Then Add auto-start app.
Q: Why LED notification doesn't work?
A: You should enable it in LG Setting. Open LG Setting > Display > Notification Flash > Check all notification you want to enable.
Q: Is this ROM support F180?
A: If others e975 rom work on your phone, this rom should work fine. If you don't convert to e975 or flash any F180 baseband before, it may not work. Some user report that he just flash Baseband in this thread (step 12) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46548968&postcount=1&nocache=1&z=9660244223196060. Then the phone got working signal.
This is, the most awesome thing I've seen in the development section so far after months Gonna try it, hope you stick with us pal and keep up the good work.
This Rom is very fast and smooth compared to other miui Roms but im not able to get a signal or an imei on my European e975. Miui shows at startup sim card error, never had this problem before, restoring efs via freegee didnt Chance anything :l

Please try to flash you region Modem, maybe I will change my based rom to other region in next update (should be GERMAN v20A).
edit: Please try GERMAN firmware patch in OP
Downloading <3 will report as german guy with german baseband patch
10days until v6 will be released, right?
Thanks for your help but the german patch dont work for me, the only thing that changes is showing an error sign if i want to turn on wifi (but connecting is no problem?). Baseband is unknown and flashing an europe 10f or an 20a baseband didnt change anything
I really want to use this Rom ^^
Lol... Format system, data and cache. Install Rom and then patch!
For me all working!
Nfc should work (turn on and off works!)
Camera
Call
....
Baseband shows as unknown but thats standard
Bootanimation wasnt animated (only shows the same picture...)
Will give more feedback soon
Playstore installations, root... All working!
Thanks for awesome work!
Patch working! (And im german but baseband should work for european!)
What an awesome Idea and work! Excellent. Keep it on man <3

I mislead you about modem flash in last post. All custom rom shouldn't touch modem/baseband partition. So flashing custom rom doesn't change your baseband. You can change baseband only with KDZ flashing. If your last installed rom has working signal, this rom should work when you flash German firmware patch.
One more thing, please make sure that your last installed rom is Kitkat 4.4.2 because it may be baseband incompatible problem with JB (because this rom use LG kitkat libraries). For most CM/AOSP based rom, from my knowledge, they use JB firmware/library. So if you has never flash LG Kitkat KDZ before that may be the reason why your phone signal doesn't work.
You should try to flash your region Kitkat KDZ, root, unlock boot loader, install recovery and install this rom + patch again. Don't forget to do a full wipe before flashing rom. Hope this help.

Yes, baseband display as unknown but it's working. For boot animation, It's just a still picture (all 3 pictures in zip file are the same).

APN add is work fine on my phone. I'm using German firmware which doesn't have my local operator and I can add and save APN. Please be make sure that you press menu and then select save when finishing edit APN settings. BTW I'll use CM APN list in next update.

Did you full wipe your phone before flashing rom? Format /system, /data & /cache, in Philz touch recovery just select Wipe for install new ROM.
If so, please enable Settings > Developer Options > Force-closed Apps. Launch that "Network Operator" setting again and send me error log in popup dialog. Or if you can do logcat it will give me more information about your error. You can use "Catlog" from playstore to view and save logcat on your phone.
That menu works on my phone so I need information from you to identify source of problem.
@forgottnxd, I just tried following steps to see if my old 10f baseband work on MIUI. It works.
- Flash THAI v10f KDZ
- Root & CWM
- Flash MIUI without full wipe
- Reboot and got some error in phone app. It happen because some config in old app isn't compatible with MIUI. So...
- Reboot to Recovery and Full wipe
- Flash MIUI
- Reboot and everything works include mobile signal
- Reboot to CWM and flash German firmware patch
- Reboot phone and again all apps work include my mobile signal
Did you remember which KDZ you flash last time? Maybe I can try to flash it and what's your problem.
PS. It is possible that ROM ril libraries (both Thai & German) and your baseband is incompatible. But I'm not sure.

I can't get into network settings as well (both with and without patch). It either takes me to launcher or option in settings become grey until it reconnects me to the network (which happens every time when I try to go into networks menu). Before miui I had v20a german kdz. Of course before installing your rom I wiped everything (philz->wipe for new rom or sth). Hope logcat helps. Sry for putting it in zip, but file is too big for xda attachment.
//EDIT
Seems like I fixed it on my own. The problem occurs when I set language to Polish. I just changed to English (UK) and it works. I wouldn't even think of that if there wasn't error with some string in logcat .
Update2:
Found Bug:
set lockscreen "pattern"
enter pattern, lock, try to unlock but shows as false pattern! tried 2 times (u can disable pattern by draw often wrong pattern until u can unlock via email!) but always took my set pattern as false!
can u confirm that?
my network provider is "o2" but it shows "Work" as provider! by set manual provider "o2" (under settings -> notification) but still "Work" dont know why....
great work and hope for good teamwork for later a FINAL MIUIv5 which is bugfree and fast before v6 is released
can u look into that project: MIUI camera on our G is working! the only ROM which is using that Camera is ColorOS (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646837 )
dont know if we can bring it work, would be awesome but not really important at the moment because lg camera works and is little miui style
rom is really speedy. Battery life looks good/normally (different user different battery lifetime etc.. dont use my battery life to say mine is so high, its normally by me and what im doing with it! (10hours running, 100-34% and 2:30hours display on
undervolt support by kernel would be awesome!
dont know why we always have the theme graphic bugs but i will look if other theme from mi2/3 looks better... (i think its old theme because hangouts has still Talk icon on statusbar

haha i had same problem thanks for help
Hey guys, I have an old Xperia XA living around, and I'm planning to root it soon and use substratum themes with Sony's ROM, but I'm confused if it's even substratum compatible or not.
Please let me know, thanks.

I don't think so. I don't know exactly how it works. I don't think it's quite like Xposed, where there needs to be a special framework in place, (since many Substratum themes do work on Los14, which is not officially supported), but I think there does need to be a compatible environment, similar to or based on AOSP. I think Xperia has it's own version of theming framework. For example, many of the files that control the UI on an Xperia are named 'somc_(something)'. Those files are specific to Sony phones, so a different theme engine wouldn't by default have any references to them.
However, I've never tried...
Is not working. You won't see any changes
Update: I know this is old and you might figured out but I will say this for others :
Substratum is working on Xperia ROMs but you need to use legacy theme, and some themes may break your systemUI but you can recover easy using twrp and others would not do anything at all. But I found ones that are working.
So: Find theme that supports legacy devices (rooted devices) and if your device doesn't start go to twrp file manager /data/apps and find the code name of the selected overlay: ex (themename.systemui...) Or something like this

So, for theming the systemUI I used only Grace UX. I used Navbars to change my system navigation bar and it seems to work, not only with that but with every theme that allows you to change system navbar. They don't crash your SystemUI. You can use themes to change your settings menu, not all work just some of them.
I have only installed:
Galaxy Evolution - Not working with the SystemUI
GraceUX - Everything works
Navbars which is working
I might test other themes and give you a feedback if you want
hello again...can you give me the link of the theme you use ?? (Grace UX)I can not find it thanks
also i test many themes on substratum theme engine and nothing happend.

I checked the telegram group but didn't see anything related to this.... so far I don't see any possible way
I've done it without rooting. It kinda works, main widget (weather + clock) is either too small or too big, also doesnt work on landscape mode, you will have problems in lockscreen etc.
I used miui theme kit apk to install theme and another app from play store that reveals hidden system apps shortcuts. App is there, it's just hidden, you can do some thing like get back to default theme.
That's a dissapointment because main reason i bought this pad is theme customisation. Most of MIUI features doesn't work here.
Check this out once https://t.me/redmipadofficial/1942 after u got root just flash this zip file which enables you to import and flash custom themes/fonts/wallpaper of your choice
You can get custom themes files from other Xiaomi device or from Google search miui themes then download the Mtz theme file and then
U have two ways to open this app,after u flash this magisk module u will not see any difference and can't see themes app in app drawer
1. Go to setting then in wallpaper and here u go with moded themes app
2. In steps -
long press on home screen ..choose wallpaper
top right ..choose themes icon
my account
themes .. import .. choose mtz files
apply and reboot once.
[Yeah, this mod themes app is taken from China miui Android phone rom hence it doesn't support landscape mode, bellow is the screen shot... Personaly I didn't found any good theme so I didn't flash any now but still good to have option in case u want to...]

I've tried this before and it would t work. I've seen the themes app is hidden but it will not open I receive the message it's not supported in your region. Changing the region doesn't help.

You can get custom themes files from other Xiaomi device or from Google search miui themes then download the Mtz theme file and then
U have two ways to open this app,after u flash this magisk module u will not see any difference and can't see themes app in app drawer
1. Go to setting then in wallpaper and here u go with moded themes app
2. In steps -
long press on home screen ..choose wallpaper
top right ..choose themes icon
my account
themes .. import .. choose mtz files
apply and reboot once.
[Yeah, this mod themes app is taken from China miui Android phone rom hence it doesn't support landscape mode, bellow is the screen shot... Personaly I didn't found any good theme so I didn't flash any now but still good to have option in case u want to...]

Will also suggest to try coustomiuizer 13 and Monet miui, allows you lot of customisation but one warnings don't mess up with charging animation... I messed once with lspossed wave apk from then on I am not able to find single method to get back to orginal charging animation... So now have to use that lsposed wave charging animation to hide stock crupted charging animation...
Otherwise everything works better than what miui gives...

I use customiuizer which is great. I will check out monet miui. All I really need now to make this perfect is to be able to change the grid size to utilise the full homescreen. Thanks.
