4x is like slightly above entry level

2017-12-06 22:58:17 UTC  

It punches above it's weight pretty well for the price tho

2017-12-06 22:59:37 UTC  

Tbh I'll just stick with the rn4x for two years anyways and stop reading phone news

2017-12-06 23:06:05 UTC  

Oh yeah, how is Lineage on RN4X?

2017-12-06 23:08:22 UTC  

seems like all the remaining parcels were put on the same plane and arrived today

2017-12-06 23:08:28 UTC  

got another confirmation a parcel hit NZ

2017-12-06 23:08:30 UTC  

I'm on stock lol

2017-12-06 23:08:58 UTC  

I know a few people who run lineage on the RN4X and they really like it. It's a really good ROM to be fair

2017-12-06 23:09:15 UTC  

@tinytaco I ran it on my RN3

2017-12-06 23:09:21 UTC  

It was bloody attrocious

2017-12-06 23:09:28 UTC  

My camera stopped working after day 2

2017-12-06 23:10:12 UTC  

hmm

2017-12-06 23:10:20 UTC  

I'll ask the android discord again

2017-12-06 23:10:41 UTC  

what benefits do I really get over MIUI tho

2017-12-06 23:10:55 UTC  

A non shit UI is a pretty big benefit

2017-12-06 23:10:59 UTC  

@Cad it's what the phone was supposed to run

2017-12-06 23:11:36 UTC  

miui is good

2017-12-06 23:11:58 UTC  

MIUI isn't really shitty and stock Android is actually pretty overrated, even Google's shipping Pixel shit over stock Android

2017-12-06 23:12:11 UTC  

It's better than EMUI, that's it's only selling point

2017-12-06 23:12:33 UTC  

i do own a pixel so I am a part time pixel shill

2017-12-06 23:15:21 UTC  

@Sham good but you need open camera or google camera and the battery life prediction on November monthly is broke

2017-12-06 23:15:27 UTC  

I just wish MIUI had at least an option to autosort apps better

2017-12-06 23:15:47 UTC  

miui has better battery life because it has aggressive power saving measures

2017-12-06 23:15:57 UTC  

use a different launcher

2017-12-06 23:16:27 UTC  

The only thing that turns me off Xiaomi are the cameras but the Google mod does seem to fix some of that

2017-12-06 23:17:50 UTC  

I used to use T-UI with a custom solarized theme lmao

2017-12-06 23:17:56 UTC  

open camera works as well if you're a fossautist but the problem with HDR+ on OC is that it takes 3 pictures and *saves four onto your phone* when you just want the one resulting photo

2017-12-06 23:18:31 UTC  

gcamera doesn't do this but open camera has a bunch of crazy ass features that I like

2017-12-06 23:19:07 UTC  

also open camera only runs in sideways orientation regardless of how you force it, and the controls are in portrait

2017-12-06 23:19:46 UTC  

if you open your app switcher from open camera, your app previews and switcher will also be sideways

2017-12-06 23:20:04 UTC  

You just need a balance of gcam and opencamera

2017-12-06 23:20:14 UTC  

can someone make that

2017-12-06 23:20:57 UTC  

I think you need to disable "app optimization" for that particular app

2017-12-06 23:21:16 UTC  

but that didn't really work for me with my sleep tracking app

2017-12-06 23:22:17 UTC  

yeah

2017-12-06 23:22:20 UTC  

zzz

2017-12-06 23:23:19 UTC  

my only experience is with miui8 so I'm not sure if the whole battery optimization thing was addressed in miui9

2017-12-06 23:23:32 UTC  

also miui apps are botet

2017-12-06 23:23:49 UTC  

what battery optimization thing

2017-12-06 23:24:18 UTC  

I noticed apps like pedometers don't really work, you mean background apps like that?
