The rom is available in Xiaomi's forum: http://en.miui.com/thread-466349-1-1.html
Installing went fine and I've gotten things running. There are two major bugs despite their post saying "100% stable".
1) You cannot change the wallpaper in the settings. While I was able to change the home screen wallpaper with Nova launcher, I have not found a way to change the lock screen wallpaper. It will be stuck with the wallpaper of the custom boot image.
2) This rom is PLAGUED with "your device isn't compatible with this version" on the play store. It's nearly impossible to download your apps without using marketspoofer constantly. As a result, you won't be able to get updates for these apps. I'm talking about snapchat, spotify, etc. It's bad.
I'd highly advise against using this Rom for the time being. I'm switching back to Xiaomi.eu and will apply the 4g fix manually.

The lockscreen wallpaper bug exists on almost all MIUI ROMs. This is because you are using a different launcher from the stock one. Even I use Nova Launcher. The workaround to change lockscreen wallpapers is simple.
Go to settings>Installed Apps>Defaults
Change default launcher to System Launcher. Then press the home key so that the system launcher loads up. Now you can change your lockscreen wallpaper successfully and once you've done that, you can change the default launcher back to Nova. Sadly, this is the only way to do it and this bug isnt new. Has been there since a while.
I havent tried the Epic ROM so I can't comment on the issue with Playstore incompatibility.

I don't have such problem. All my apps are getting updates normally including the one you have mentioned. I have never seen the device isn't compatible error message with this rom. Not sure is something I do or something you do that's causing this. Been using the epic rom for more than 2 days now, buttery smooth and very good ram and battery management. Haven't noticed anything wrong so far.

Not having any issues whatsoever. Got like 100 apps from play store.

I guess no one else is facing issues with installing apps via Playstore. Maybe something got messed up during the ROM installation. Try clean flashing and it may solve the issue.

OP should maybe edit the title, it's a bit misleading as it seems like it's an isolated case, perhaps a clean flashing would solve the problem he is facing. With our community being this small, this post won't get sink that easily and for new comers, EPIC rom is a fantastic custom ROM

I already reverted back and I don't intend to go back... I feel bad if I was the only one who had these issues. It's pretty frustrating let alone embarrassing. I would like to delete the thread, but I don't know if that's possible.

May be a coincidence,my personal set-up/apps disabled,IDK,but, I am now experiencing an issue similar to yours:
I have no problem loading or updating from the Google Play Store,but, I can no longer side-load apps. (Parsing Error)
I reverted to a GlobeROM backup that's based on the same update (7.1.5) & have no problems side-loading apps.

Interesting... I was able to install adaway, marketspoofer, xposed, etc fine. The ROM seems temperamental or just susceptible to isolated issues.

Another thing I forgot to mention was my Samsung Gear S2 wouldn't connect, the Gear Manager app crashed every time.
Works fine on EU & GlobeROM.
I'll try things out on the next EpicROM update,see if anything has changed,both as a dirty flash & starting from scratch.

I haven't tried EpicROM like I mentioned in another thread but I guess the reason some are experiencing issues with EpicROM is probably because the ROM has a lot of mods compared to the stock EU and Globe.
One of the mods I can recall is the Dolby Atmos sound mod. There are many other mods as well.
Hence dirty flashing the EpicROM may be the cause of the random issues. I assume the people who have no issues with Epic have done a clean install of the ROM.
This is one of the reasons why I don't prefer custom roms with a lot of mods. I always prefer having a base rom like EU and then manually modifying it to my requirements. That way I have a control over the mods and also helps me narrow down the cause of any issues that may arise.

I don't think epic rom has many mods (not yet at least). Actually the EU rom I installed has more mods than Epic, Epic has atom. My eu rom had arise viper, eu gps MOD, Dolby atom, scrolling animation MOD.
For me at least, I have only done dirty flash. So I came from clean 6.12.10 to 6.12.22 then to custom EU 6.12.29, then now custom Epic 7.1.5, all dirty from start.
That being said, I will see what epic provides on their next release. I may go back to custom EU as so far, I can't see any difference between them, but at least custom EU can select Arise and adaway pre-installed. Would save me 2 mins to install by myself.. Lol

I was referring to the weekly xiaomi.EU base ROM. I haven't noticed any mods on this ROM. I can confirm that there is no viper or dolby atmos because I don't see it anywhere in the ROM. I may be wrong and there may be some under the hood mods. But I haven't noticed anything so far.
I guess you may be referring to the MiGlobe ROM. Because nothing other than Gapps came pre-installed with the base EU ROM I am running.

You are correct, I said the name wrong. Was indeed referring to MiGlobe Rom.

No problem here. I used both of them and still using. Maybe u have to delete play Store data and retry it again. The rom is so far smooth here...

Facebook update

I updated my facebook app but it keeps crashing when I click on someone profile or pic. Anyone having thia problem? I'm using CM7 Stable version. Facebook version 1.5.3. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Working fine here. Stock/rooted 2.3. Facebook 1.5.3
Uninstall then reinstall
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I have the same problem on CM7 stable, FB 1.5.3 - the application crashes immediately when clicking on "Profile", "Friends" or "Messages". I had no problems before the Facebook update.
Until the App is updated you could try the Flow-App for Facebook usage.
If you have a theme installed it won't work.... Remember they have to update the themes to accommodate the updated Facebook. It happened to me then I just went over to the stock CM7 theme and did a cache and dalvik cache wipe and reboot. If that doesn't fix it then a fresh install of cm7 or go back to the old Facebook. THIS IS ONLY FOR CM7 USERS WITH TMO THEME ENGINE THEMES INSTALLED.
It is doing the same on my phone. Installed a new CM7 this morning, no theme, and have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. It crashes regardless.
Same problem here, reading the market reviews looks like it's a major problem effecting many phones. Hopefully fb fixes it soon!
I have no idea how they get away with publishing such a bad update!
I'm convinced facebook has no testers lol.
they're just concerned with their iphone facebook!!
All CM7 ROMs appear to be affected:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042151
I rolled back to 1.5.2 and detached Facebook from the Market for now so it won't auto update.

The update works fine.
It's janky custom roms that are breaking with the update.
Reason number 1,038 why I run a stock rom.
Update broke Facebook for me too, even uninstalled and reinstalled still FC every chance except for first screen (news feed). Luckily I had a nandroid with 1.5.2 on it, which is working just fine for now. Keeping an eye out for a higher version than 1.5.3, judging by the ratings, there seem to be many others with the same problems.
BTW, Cyanogenmod is hardly "janky"... and I'd really love to see that list of reasons lol
Well, this thread is a pretty good example.
They take a working rom, add a bunch of features to it, and accordingly break it because their features don't follow any standardized method of doing things.

That's not quite how Cyanogen works. It's built from Google's open source code, not from the original ROM of the device. Anyway, carriers have a way of breaking working features too. Don't blame it all on the community developers

Facebook won't fix anything as their app isn't broken! It is custom roms that are broken. Ask your rom developer to fix their rom.

Issues with MoDaCo - please help!

I tried a CM7 rom for about a day... and started to get frustrated with the lack of certain app compatibility. So I thought I'd give MoDaCo a try... I was willing to sacrifice some of the customizable features just to get full app compatibility.
Anyway, did all the usual backup and wipe stuff and flashed MoDaCo. All seemed to be going well... Google Play was there, root obtained, etc. Then I tried to install ICS launcher (or any launcher for that matter) and I continually get the same FC error. I saw it mentioned in other threads, but couldn't quite understand what the solution was. Someone said that a factory reset fixed it... tried that, lost Gapps, tried re-flashing MoDaCo with a bunch of fresh wipes... No luck. Same FC error.
Any thoughts?
Also, can you install 3rd party keyboard apps with MoDaCo?
Thanks for your help.

[Q] Do you feel the need to run a custom ROM on Nexus 4?

Yes, people... the NEXUS 4!
This is the first time since Qtek 2020 was released that i feel that i no longer need to use a custom rom to fully appreciate a smartphone operating system.
The nexus 4 and Android 4.2.1 is a perfect match:
- everything is speedy
- the functionality is logical
- there is finally encryption included in the operating system from the get-go.
- Updates are instant!
- No apparent bugs with radio and hardware!
I'm in love with this thingy! :victory:
How do you feel about the Nexus 4 and it's operating system, will you put in a custom ROM?
Custom kernel, yes. Custom ROM, not yet.

Ah.. should have been in the Q/A?
Felt like general was more... general.. while Q/A is like it says.. Questions and Answers.
There's no answers here, just a question.
Yes, I like the extra features of custom roms, easy as that.
Thats why its a Nexus, freedom of choice.
its a must, I haven't rooted yet to check any issues before I rely on it, you need custom roms due to the display and dpi, some of the text is too big in apps and don't provide an option so its not using the space effectively, talking about paranoid android rom
Custom kernel is necessary, the stock kernel on this phone sucks.
Custom ROM, not so much but it's nice to have all the extra features.
Transmission sent from my badass Nexus 4.
Kernel, for the moment.
the stock experience is too plain. not enough options. even worse for those coming off of a samsung device. people can talk about the stock experience all they want... but its better on the custom rom side.
As I said in the other thread I tried all the custom ROMs and none were as good as stock. No issues with the stock kernel either. The ease of trying different ROMs and the option to do what we want is awesome though.

Agreed. Don't get me wrong, stock is great. I've been spoiled rotten by all the great devs on XDA. I can't live without options.
Stock kernel does blow, though.

it can. but i have never had any issues. unless you are in a position to worry about security... with your job, there is nothing to worry about.

and if you are in that sort of position to worry about security... the last phone you need is a nexus.
So far, still on stock ROM. If it weren't for ad-blockers requiring it, I wouldn't even have rooted it at this point. I do use Nova Launcher instead of the stock launcher, though. The only reason I might do a custom ROM is because I don't like not having 1% battery in notifications.
I feel like I need to run a custom ROM since custom ROMs have much more tweaks and features that stock does not have. CyanogenMod for example.

Polished

I've been using and making custom roms for several years starting back in the Windows Mobile days on the xv6700 and can honestly say this is the first device that I haven't wanted to put a custom rom on. The stock touchwiz UI and included/available samsung software is really polished and the battery life is incredible. I obviously rooted it and fixed a bunch of minor annoyances with xposed framework, but aside from that I don't think I'm going to make/flash a rom unless sprint gets really behind on future android builds.
Anyone else feel the same way?
No. I'd like to try cm or a smoother rom. I get lag on stock.

I agree with the OP on the smoothness... and also with you that a rom or two eventually would be nice.. but how are you getting lag?
Stock Rooted with Xposed and a minor build.prop edit and i have no lag what so ever. Sometimes the phone actually moves faster than what my thumbs were expecting. Just curious.
I should be more specific. The lag tgat I experience is in either Google hangouts, Google now search and sometimes when switching apps from the app switcher. The lag in hangouts and Google search is when I type I gets lots of lag. I've tried different keyboards and they all lag. I've had this same issue on the Note 3 and it only went away when I switched to cm11 for the note 3.
Ah. Gotcha. I always remove Hangouts and i dont bother with the Google Voice/Search. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the issue.

I'm a fan of touchwiz. Like others I get the occasional lag but it isn't nearly as earth shattering as Samsung haters make it out to be.
Xposed has also become my weapon of choice for fixing minor annoyances.
Also I don't use google search but did get a little bit of lag in Hangouts. My problem was the LG G3 keyboard I installed. Since removing it, I haven't noticed the lag as much.
Lolliipop keyboard works fine woth no lag. Never use Hangouts. This 2-3 second lag on the recent apps that some ppl report , i have not experienced. Once i edited build prop after xposed ive encountered no lag anywhere. None. And the battery life is superb.

I think the wanam option under 'security hacks' to 'disable secure storage' fixes the lag too (I believe it basically has the same effect as the build prop edit).
So just install xposed, then the wanam module and go turn on the setting.

Above poster makes sense. When youre in Wanam and making your device, 'Official' under Security Hacks, just change it from there amd disregard link.

Ok. Disregard the disregarding of the link and follow instructions found on the page the link takes you. It will tell you what to edit via Fx Explorer in build.prop

Best ROM out there for Moto X Style?

Hello, two questions:
- What is the most stable and most problem-free 7.1 ROM for Moto X Style? CM, Lineage, Slim7?
- Should I wait for the official ROM?
Thanks.

For me it's dirty unicorns. It's really stable and the latest weekly has the camera running superb for me so far with Snapchat and the inbuilt camera app. Also has the most kernel customizations out of every 7.1.1 custom ROM. Highly recommend you to try it out and see for yourself since ROMs are based on personal preference.
And I would recommend: next time ask such questions in the Q&A section or even general section but NEVER in android development section.

Don't take this the wrong way since it is a sincere question. Why not in a developer thread? I have been a member of the CM11 thread until the project ended and it was a developer thread, the ONLY place you could get up to the minute, real help for the custom rom. It was a developer thread especially made for this rom.

Because the question is generic. Fur the most part the development sections should be geared toward resolving issues with ROMs and/or what features the ROM may need improvement on. Asking what people think is the most stable ROM or what not sure not contribute to development.

That is a good answer. No one should be in developer threads asking what is the best rom, etc. But to join a rom specific developer thread is a good place to post rom questions for this device. We need *some place* to discuss this and IMHO, the developer threads are the best, where you get the best answers, and most serious places to get answers. With that in mind, one has to behave accordingly. I.e.: No clowning around for best rom, best games, pokemon, or any other out of place questions or comments. You have earned your Thanks. Thanks!
EDIT: "Generic" question, that is the significant part I missed. There are plenty of places to discuss generic rom questions but not in a developer thread. For specific questions, I would imagine there are threads for that. My CM11 thread was quite specific so the Q&A was most welcome there. :good:

Please read up on it in the forums dedicated for the ROM. That is part of the purpose of those forums: to report issues and allow people such as yourself to determine if the ROM will work for you by reading through them.

I have read through them all. There is no sufficient information. Everyone is like thank you so much for this without saying any issues, so after installation I found everything was broken.
When u ask also people come and say "why don't u try it for urself?" What sort of theory is that? last time all ROMs used to have a section at least for bug list of features that doesn't work, but none of the new ROMs have that. Its like we have to take a medicine without knowing the side effects to know only about them after trying it.

Camera is now stable. Flashlight not as much. Its mostly just slow. Everything else is now stable and is my daily driver, I've been using it not because the camera is better. I havnt found anything broken. Gonna try truepure stock rom today just because I sorda miss it. But I'm gonna stick with dirty unicorn because its working perfectly for me now with mini dynamic apps. Also open gapps aroma also work great.

11.2 RC is what I recommend. That didn't have any problems what so ever except flashlight. I'm on the latest weekly and there is just small changes that don't matter much except viper for android can work on enforcing and magisk is in the settings menu now.

Awesome. I guess I'll be giving it another try. Right now I'm running on their 10.5, pretty stable but I have random reboots
Is this the Moto x pure 2015 forum?

Aicp April nightlies have been amazing, huge upgrade over previous Roms for me, including previous versions of AICP itself. Battery life is poor currently, but everything is buttery smooth and snappy (v4a, Substratum, pixel launcher, moto camera and gallery all working flawlessly). I'd highly recommend trying it, even if you have previously. I just switched my color profile to "deep black colorful" as well and i must say I'm really loving my phone again.

I had major problems flashing DU when I tried. I did a full wipe and tried 3 different gapps, including the recommended mini dynamic gapps and I got constant google play services force closes when it booted up. I couldn't even get to settings to try to close or mute something to look around at what was causing it. I'm using Ground Zero Roms Validus and its great for the most part. Still want to try DU though if I can figure out that issue.

That's weird. I never had that problem before. I might flash the ROM and gapps and make a backup and maybe install it to Android file host so you won't run into any problems. I use open gapps aroma and change the SMS app, clock, calender, and other stock apps for Google apps and it worked fine for me. Even dynamic gapps worked fine. I don't know what the problem could be.

I can understand the frustration, but to some degree it is almost a crap shoot, especially on AOSP. Things can break from one update to the next as the devs work their magic. What worked today may not work tomorrow and vice versa. That is why I recommend trying then out. Devs typically work to improve their ROMs both stability and feature wise but given the difference in usage, apps, and even manufacturing variances in hardware internals, a ROM could work well for one user's needs but be broken for another.
As far as AOSP, I hear a lot of good things about AICP, but I use stock rooted on my MXPE so I can't confirm anything. It works great on my old LG G3 D850.
How?

Sorry for the noob question...I did a lot of custom roms on my SGS2 and SGS4 but when I got my Moto X Pure I have just used it stock.
I have been having enough issues with it that I considered replacing it with a Moto G5 Plus but decided I might as well try a ROM before I give up on it entirely.
So back to the noob question...how do I get from stock to that ROM? Also, can you send me a link to the ROM you are talking about (This one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-aicp-clark-xt1575-t3222868/page646)

To your noob question: I'm pretty sure the general process is the same to get a custom ROM as the SGSs you did. Flash the appropriate custom ROM made for your device via custom recovery. That has not really changed since custom ROMs for Android first came into being. The methods of getting a custom recovery onto a device changes though so please use due diligence to get it done if you haven't already.
