I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Honor 7 PLK-L01!
READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs. A MCR release is designed to feel like a stock Emotion UI ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
This ROM is part of the 'Unified Honor ROM' project - ROMs with the same changes are available for all current Honor devices.
A MCR version with a more 'stock Android' like interface is under development.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!
Features
Based on the B370 custom ROM starter template (you may use MCR as a base for your own ROM)
ROM fully optimised with the unique MCR scripts
Updated power management policies to reduce instances of 'missing notifications'
All apps in ROM updates to latest versions (a considerable saving of over 1GB on /data!)
Busybox installed
sepolicy patched boot image ready for root
selinux permissive
Removed 'icons' from /system/themes (themes no longer need to include default icons again)
MoDaCo Custom Kitchen (coming soon!)
Multi user support
Multi window support
Preloaded Stockify theme stub
Numerous other small refinements - please see the gitlab commits for full details
This ROM is completely in version control at gitlab! https://gitlab.com/u/paulobrien/projects
Want more tweaks and changes? Post your requests in the support topic.
Changelog
Please see the post below this one for the changelog.
Installation
You should install this ROM on a device that has previously been updated to the B370 release.
To install this ROM:
Download the zip file from the links below and copy to your internal / external SD card.
Restart your device in recovery mode
PERFORM A BACKUP FROM THE MENU
Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to the SD card.
Important Note: As this ROM is partially deodexed, first boot can take a long time. If you have not wiped, you can check for any issues with adb logcat. Be patient!

Support
If you have a general question, please post in the topic.
Thanks
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely.
And finally...
Enjoy!

please forgive my ignorance on the matter as i really have no clue in whats goes into making sure roms etc but how hard is it to turn such roms into stock android?
i mean i think the issues most people have with the honor 7 is infact emui
again i will apologize if its a ridiculous question
on another note, would this improve battery life at all? im on B180 currently and i find the battery life to be somewhat of a disappointment.

---

Thanks @paulobrien nice to another stock modified ROM in the Honor 7 community.

---

Nice ! Another custom ROM , sounds good. My request is , if you can, to install something to increase the sound of our Honor's.
@joelk2 You can always install a launcher from Google play , I recommend Nova Launcher.
Maybe a noob question but what are the MCR scripts you mentioned?

This will always be stock based, but I'm working on some cool stuff to make it more 'stock'.

The MCR scripts I run during the build of the ROM. They re-optimise everything for size and performance using scripts I've developed over many years.

Since this fine Piece is fully deodexed im wondering if xposed works now. Anyone tried out yet?

---

This build isn't deodexed, a future build will be.
I'm not sure that will solve the Xposed option, but it's something I'm looking into, along with APKtool and a number of other things.
I always want to build TWRP 3 for the 7.
Stay tuned.

Just installing the SuperSU zip should work, as the boot image is patched.
If it doesn't work, manually extract the boot.img from the and flash it using 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and try again.
