Request for ROM recommendation - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Just got a 5X (in the US). I would like to use the fingerprint reader (so probably limited to stock ROM?) but would also like to use Xposed if possible,
Could someone recommend a ROM to flash? Or can I put Xposed on stock ROM at this time?

No problem with your stock ROM and with latest Xposed framework. No need to change anything.

Awesome, thanks!
Anyone idea if it will play nice with the Marshmallow update?
And in general what are everyone's impressions of the update? Is it better than the 5.1 stock, or are there bugs?

That's great! My wife has a 5X running the 5.1 stock, rooted but not modified in any other way. I assume the OTA is seamless in terms of not messing up existing apps/accounts/data/settings etc?
I don't want to run the update for her if it's going to cause any issues.

If you would want a custom rom with fp scanner you should try one of the modaco roms.

I will try thanks for your help!!
it'll work as long as it repartitions with the new PIT file, which is included in the CSC tar.md5.
Downloading as we speak. It's weird how they reverted the releases to XXU in MM, which has been widely released with XXS. Samsung keeps being strange.
Let the Custom TouchWiz's boom now.

I was on unbranded, but i flashed with 4 package files method, so it changes the layout.

Yes. Flashed TWRP with Odin, and then flashed SuperSU through TWRP.
As for testing...
Butter smooth, even while updating apps, lags are gone.
Good Lock works fine, so does Wanams xposed.
They updated the App Drawer, which i always thought comes within the Launcher, cause, of course, we still have the Lollipop TouchWiz. Also icons are new too.
And finally, SmartManager with a widget.
Anyway, the only main things outdated are TouchWiz and SecSettings.
I think with Good Lock, we avoid needing any custom touching on SystemUI and Framework.
Happy Marahmallow guys, didnt expect it at all.

You can use SamFirm to download the 4 package, just make sure you tick the Binary check box. But people seem to have success with the single file, so you might wanna use that and download from www.updato.com

I'm using the TWRP from Ashyx and the universal SuperSU zip package.
For Xposed, use wanam's version, make sure you get the arm one, which is for 32 bit devices. And a goody for the end, Xposed Installer with Material (has quite a few better things inside)
Great, but why the slow filehosts? 3 hours to download :/

Battery 6 vs7

So i got the phone and it has android 6. So i saw i can update to 7, so here is the question about battery life: IS it better to leave android 6 and use xposed modules like greenify and few others to optimize battery, or its better to install 7 and cant use xposed optimization?

i dont know what you trying to say/do but i think if you are in v10c you are in Lollipop and not Marshmallow, and if you have TWRP yes you can do a backup...but i dont know if you can restore it after Nougat since is 2 years difference and they maybe dont will work restoring...

Thank you! Good job!

And perhaps you want also to add a link to an untouched stock. It's great to have the originals of boot.img and logo.img.

I'm really not sure but 137-35 looks familiar. I'm not on stock right now but i use the stock DEODEXED rom when I feel like stock. Is the 43-5 update the most recent one to that? I use sprint but I feel like that doesn't matter since it's carrier unlocked
Can u just use the Verizon build for the rest of the US? (METRO)

The only U.S. OTA currently is the VZW one.
Any of the builds will likely work fine.

I'll try it out tonight. Thanks for the feedback
I flashed the Verizon one. The reason I asked my previous question is because Volte/WiFi Calling is important to me because I get LTE signal just fine in my area but no 3G/HSPA so I rely on those two for phone calls at home. Volte and WiFi calling are working good. Thanks for the upload.
Since this is the stock ROM would dirty flashing as a update work okay?
EDIT: Nevermind, I used my eyes and read the OP.
EDIT 2: Successfully flashed. You the man! Been waiting to get this VOLTE fix. Big thanks :good:

KII L22C569B130 looking for help.

Greetings! i'm currently looking for an android 6~7 rom for my huawei gr5 (compilation number on the title). I've found several but non of them matches the whole compilation and i'm afraid of bricking my phone, i've installed roms before but was on a nexus one (old old phone) so i'm basically new again. I would pretty much appreciate advice, links, and whatever might help me on this process. Thanks in advance.
There are lots of ROMs in ROMs and kernel section.
So any rom there with the kII l22 tag will work to me? Even if the c569b130 doesn't match? That's my biggest question.

All of them will work if you have a firmware with no VoLTE.

Dont forget to Make a full backup and give it a try...

Voice over LTE. You can't simply disable it for custom Roms to work. You need to be on B350 and below because B360 and above has VoLTE.

No.. stock marshmallow firmware should be on your device..
You can update via OTA update.. Or you canupdate manually.
After that unlock bootloader..then flash twrp and then flash any rom you want to.

Nope. This problem will be if you try to downgrade from 7.x.x. Upgrade should be painless. Also you can choose any channel. It will be work, but without ota`s updates.
I`ve installed retus on retcn. All working, except otas. Maybe in oreo smthng changes.

Uhm, on that site you can choose any ROM you want. Reteu stuck on 6, so, technically, you right.
Also check
