I flashed the phone to [Unofficial] CyanogenMod CM11 ROM
And it seems I will stay on it for a long time, until they normally make a normal MIUI.
In short, the firmware is excellent! There is a Russian language in the system, there is no Russian keyboard, but this is not even a problem, it is easily treated by installing any keyboard, for example, installing Google Keyboard.
One minus is not a working standard application "camera" takes a picture, but it saves black squares, and video recording crashes in general)) other similar programs work like, but did not really check it.

1. The battery does not eat, enough for a long time, just like MIUI, although it seems a little more.
2. Music does not stick, does not set everything perfectly.
3. RAM is always on average free ~ 400mb.
3. Notifications, messages, for example, on Line always come immediately, and it doesn’t matter in the background of the program whether it is running or not, they always come, unlike MIUI.
4. When on miui through serv. the menu (4636) was set only by wcdma, after an indefinite time, the menu was automatically set to wcdma automatically, and the phone worked on 2G. I thought I’ll get used to it, but her))
5. Because of plugs with the standard player, I was sitting on the JetAuodio, and if I went to line or open some document while listening, pdf, for example, the music "died out" although the pause did not work in the player, and you had to go to it and poke play .

p.s. I tried the firmware from miui.su, multirom.me. and the official one, the same problems are everywhere, from third-party programs only Line and JetAudio installed and used. I tried to cut down, delete unnecessary programs, but one fig miui eats operative, slows down, and is buggy. I got it specifically, I don’t see the point in miui, the interface? facilities? Well I do not know))

FIUI Beta 2.8.0 ROM Based On Android 4.4.4 For Redmi 2



Rep: (1)
Hello! Just installed [Unofficial] LeWa OS5 ROM. I want to inform you right away that there IS Russian in it. Yes, at the first boot everything goes with hieroglyphs (not even in English), butintuitive interfaceпїЅallows you to find the language change menu in a couple of minutes - just in case, I attached the instructions in the form of screenshots.

Russian language choice
The settings icon is on the desktop (Fig. No. 1).
In the settings menu we find a line with the image of the letters "a-z" (Fig. No. 2).
The very top line in the opened submenu is the choice of the system language. There is no Russian keyboard, but this, I think, is not a big problem.

Not all software is Russified, all LEWA chips are all the same in Chinese, but enough for use) Now I will install all the software that I use normally and will try to write a review tomorrow night. :-)

UPD: And here there will be no review :-(
I managed to evaluate the camera built into LEWA OS - it shoots no worse than the standard one in CM11, but it is more convenient and has a photosphere. The firmware turned out to be beautiful, but very inconvenient. From time to time, Chinese applications popped up on the whole screen and wanted some action from me. Plus, there was a serious problem - “Not enough space in the device’s memory” when installing applications, I couldn’t figure out why. Only GApps minimal managed to install through recovery, Clientsavagemessiahzine.com: happy :, WhatsApp from the market and Touchpal keyboard, again from the market. More LEWA applications refused to install.
Probably, after reinstalling the firmware and a more thorough wipe, everything would work, but the desire to study this version further, alas, disappeared ...

I’ve been sitting on the CyanogenMod CM11 for a week now, it has never crashed, it hasn’t rebooted spontaneously, the battery holds just fine, gapps installed separately without problems, instead of the built-in standard camera application (crashes), I use SnapCam HDR. Otherwise, everything flies, everything is smooth, and beautiful, I installed a bunch of themes for cm11. I forgot about miui, and it seems I won’t return to it soon: rolleyes:



Rep: (4)
Thanks to everyone who wrote about Cyan. On the last smart (Nubia z5s mini), miui also stood at first, and then accidentally tried cyan and realized that miui was not the best firmware at all, and judging by the reviews and on redmi2 the same thing. In general, I’ll definitely try tomorrow!)))

The China Mobile device (4G FDD-Band 3/7), installed CGM11, started experimenting with SIM settings - it is impossible to select LTE mode on the first SIM, it is forced to use “only GSM”, on the second LTE it works without problems. How to overcome this problem? (I tried 3 devices - everywhere the same bug).

Even when I try to change the network type in CGM11 through the engineering menu * # * # 4636 # * # * - it’s still GSM only. On all SIM cards.



I solved the problem by editing system / built.prop, replaced all the values ​​of 2014811 with 2014813,
replaced the string telephony.lteOnCDMADevice = 1 with telephony.lteOnGSMDevice = 1
after this line added ro.telephony.default_network = 9
ro.riley.default.preferred.network = 9

Then you must be sure to reboot with clearing the cache in recovery.

As a result, I got the type of GSM / WCDMA / LTE network for the first SIM card

I rebooted the phone like this ten times - I poked randomly in the prope of value, according to Murphy's law the last worked :)

Take advantage of the health of the right Redmi 2 - HM2014813

Also set CM11 - the response and the amount of free OP after the native MIUI is impressive.
The problem with the camera and the SD card was solved by installing the SD fix kitkat, after rebooting it saves on the SD card.
In general, I do not plan to return to MIUI yet :(



Rep: (49)
I purchased a Redmi2 HM2014813 phone in Moscow with preinstalled CM11 firmware from HM2014811, with a replaced modem for the China Mobile version, so that LTE works.
Probably, the store, without having a Russified MIUI6 under HM2014813, sews Cyanogenmod11 for Russification and the Russian 4G.
LTE from Megaphone and MTS verifiedly work on this firmware, it reports about itself as HM2014811.
Of the bugs, so far I noticed an unwillingness to save photos in the camera to a memory card (there is a patch, I did not install it) and the LED work was not fixed (I could overlook), but in MIUI6 everything is there.
