Bugs:
>Proximity sensor is sometimes too sensitive.( You can correct this by cleaning the proximity sensor located beside your earpiece on top, when you get too frequent screen flashing while calling. You can also turn off the proximity sensor while on call and manually turn the screen on and off by pressing the power button. However cleaning the sensor has totally fixed that problem for me. Now proximity sensor is working fine for me.)
I have encountered no other bug so far. If you detect another bug please post it as a comment.

So is this dual sim supporting? And what about the cam quality? Cause kitkat roms have bad cam quality. Thanks for your time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my site! I haven't yet tried with 2 sims, and for the camera, it's true that Kitkat AOSP ROM has a bad cam quality compared to jellybean, but the cam in the MIUI doesn't have that issue. Believe me, out of all the ROMs available for Xolo Q800, MIUI 6 is the best choice until someone ports Cyanogenmod for this device. This is my opinion, you can download and use any ROM, but be carefull when flashing a custom ROM! always backup your current ROM, data and Dalvik cache to External SD card from recovery, before flashing a ROM, because if you mess up when flashing the new ROM, you can then simply wipe system, cache and dalvik cache, and restore the backup. Your device will be exactly the way it was with your last working ROM, along with all your files, settings and contacts intact, and prevent your phone from getting bricked!
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks for the info! Actually, right now I'm using miui v5 4.8.30 on my xolo q800. The ram usage is on the high side, but I don't really care as the phone runs fluidly. I was thinking of giving this a try to compare both the previous v5 version and this one. Thanks for the clarification on the camera bit. And please let me know if you try two sims on it, as I need a rom that's dual sim supporting and a lot of kitkat roms have single sim option. Was considering this before all the options , just thinking about the dual sim issue. If its dual sim supporting, then I'll install it right away! Thanks for the reply.
DeleteSo,no need for flashing any kernels?
ReplyDeleteDoes weekly ota updates work? Does this ROM support xposed module?
