Oh thanks! But are you sure that I can update the baseband with this? I believed that the rom should be .cpb format and therefore I had to use the recovery stocks. I'm wrong?

[Guest Destiny133]

You are right, i can give u link for latest cpb version

 

do you need 4.4.2 or 4.2.2 android

[Guest Destiny133]

Well only bug i found currently is on miui's camera 

1. mirror is always on, doesnt matter if you turn it on off

2. and for some reason sound on camera cannot be disabled, Lowering main volumen doesnt fix it aswell

Edit 1 .. 

For camera sound, use this 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.akirilow.tool.cso

Set it to off. (give su rights) 

After that, the camera sound switch, works like a charm.  And u may also Uninstall the apk above. U won't need it any more. Job  is done. 

Tested &  Confirmed :) 

 

Edit 2... What's that mirror issue? 

Edited November 10, 2016 by Jpower73

[Guest Destiny133]

Mirror front camera, altho turned off its still mirroring it, 

 

i saw on xiaomi.eu community that their last version they have fixed bug

Can I update from 6.10.13 without making wipe data?

[Guest Jpower73]

Yeap, 

After flashing the new one, perform 

Wipe cache 

Wipe dalvik 

[Guest MarijanMac]

I have the same problem with this ROM as with most of the rest ones... I can't answer calls through (wired) earphone's button. Unbelievably... Has anyone wired earphones to check this issue? Media player can be managed via this button - skip track, previous song, even rejecting calls can be done by long press on the button but to receive calls is not possible...

Can anyone confirm this?

U may follow "dirty" or "clean"  installation procedure. 

1.Clean installation 

Wipe cache, dalvik, system, data

Apply rom. 

That's it

 

2. "Dirty " installation 

Flash it over any previous version 

After that, perform wipe cache + wipe dalvik

That’s it. 

 

Rom is fixed and fully equipped. 

Njoy.. . 

;)
