Hello,
This is an expermiental port of a MIUI 8 ROM (originaly for 7044x) to our Vodafone Smart Prime 6.
If you want , you can try it. It boots, runs pretty smooth, has some bugs, ...
I am no developer, I'm just trying to make something work for our device, so:
- I would appreciate, if someone more experienced could tell me if it is worth working on.
- If someone could try solving the bugs (I do mostly have very little idea as of what to do - so I search internet and try
)
- If you could report, how it is working for you with all the pros and cons.
- I can not promise any progress as of now
- I hope, that I did not break any license or any other rules - if so, let me know and I will try to delete or modify it.
So it is ported from a 6.0.1 MIUI 8 ROM developed by guys here 7044x.cf - originally for Alcatel Pop 2 (5) Premium. I used stock debloated VF-895n ROM as a BASE. If you desire more info, let me know.

What works
- It boots
- Wifi
- Mobile networks
- Bluetooth
- Sensory buttons (but without vibration feedback)
Bugs
NFC
- probably not working
Camera
- Camera does not work (Error: Can't connect to camera)
- - - - that is the thing I am trying to get working the most right now, but I had no luck so far --> any advice appreciated
- Flashlight - turns itself off after cca 3 seconds after turning on
Performance
- Laggy initial setup
- General performance - slow
- - apps are taking long to open (as reported by joaocandeias)
- - - original apps are loading quite fast and the UI is mostly smooth with smooth animations and multitasking; navigation in web browser is slow, so is openning keyboard, anywhere, where needed
FM radio
- not working
UI
- Settings app fc (once so far - as reported by joaocandeias)
GPS
- GPS is working - fixes location and follow movement accurately, but only with the screen on.
Other
- Phone recognises headphones but the sound still comes from the speaker (as reported by joaocandeias)
- - works all right for me (might still look into that ;) - Dragnipur)
- Only available languages are English, Russian, Chinese - I didn't realize, that was a problem, but if the time allows I will try to do somethink about it
- For some reason, the MIUI thinks that the phone features 4000mAh battery
V2 (Kernel 3.10.72):

Works
- same as above
- FM radio works
Bugs
- the same as above
- rear camera still not working - I really do not know what to do about it. :/ (Maybe update kernel drivers ??? from vodafone source - but do I know, how to do that? Sadly no
) Any advice?
- The initial setup is very very laggy - especialy when setting up google account. But then - after setup - restart --> the system is pretty smooth (though not yet really fast

- If you feel, like I misused your work, please let me know - I will modify, delete, give propper credits, ...
I am currently studying for internal medicine state exam, so if you feel, like I am not giving enough time and attention to further updates and ROM debuging, try picturing me nose deep in my hepatology or maybe rheumatology book
.

Take Care
