Dear Experts,
I have just got a brand new Oppo R5, model no. R8107 including Color OS v2.0.1 what is made for Chinese market. It is totally unworthy to use.
I need to install a international custom ROM for it. Please help me to make it out.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

You can install Google services (play store etc) without root with this apk
http://www83.zippyshare.com/v/qEylLPzl/file.html
If you want Root use this apk
http://www3.zippyshare.com/v/ylWtMVbd/file.html
And if you want to add more languages use this apk from play store ( You must be rooted)

Too all those wishing to change their Chinese R5 to the international R8106 rom
Hi this is exactly what happened to me. I did manage however to completely reflash the phone as an international r8106 instead of being the Chinese variant thus removing all Chinese applications and characters on the phone which was more oriented to the Chinese market.
Here's how to do it:
1. Root your phone you using forceroot
(www3.zippyshare.com/v/ylWtMVbd/file.html)
2. Install the Rashr application from the market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...r+apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1__Vw_VrCYDoPteZ-2grgE)
3. Download the r8106 stock recovery
(community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41920&extra=)
4. Flash the recovery with rashr
5. Download Color OS v.2.0.1i
(community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41914)
6. Reboot your phone into stock recovery (now r8106 recovery)
7. Wipe data and catch
8. Install zip (navigate to where your downloaded ROM is)
9. Flash the ROM
10. Reboot
11. Once rebooted you may get a notification saying "NV BACKUP FAILED" if this happens, simply dial *#268# on your phone's keypad and calibrate your nv parameters.
12. Enjoy :good:
* This is optional but you can also now re-root your phone using forceroot as previously mentioned and install twrp (https://dl.twrp.me/r5/) which will allow you to make a backup.
** Finally, this goes without saying but i'll say it anyways, this is completly at your own risk! I'm not responsible for any damages you do to your phone or if these instructions don't work for you. So its expected that you fully understand the complexities of flashing prior to doing this. Otherwise you may run a real risk of bricking your phone and making it completly useless.
Good luck and I hope this post helped someone.
I did everything you said. I managed. all is well, but stopped working GPS. may you know how to fix it?
Does anyone know if there are custom ROM's available for the Archos 45b? I would love CynogenMod but a ROM based on Lollipop 5.0 would be fine too. This is my dad's phone and he wants to upgrade but doesn't know how to, and since this is mostly an offbrand phone (I use a Galaxy S5) it's harder to sometimes impossible to find custom roms, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Also if someone knows if CWM Recovery is available that would be super.
Thanks in advance!
I would also like like that but it seems there are no devs around willing to do it. I sure understand because they do it for free.
CM 11 e TWRP but play store problem RH-01
Hi everyone,
I applied this guide (I can not put the link because I have to first write 10 posts here)
and put CM11, and TWRP 2.8.6.0 all seems to work except the play store, I got the last gapps for arm and android 4.4.xe I tried both pico and micro, gmail works but play store from bug server RH-01 and do not serve the guides that try to fix this error, tips?
maybe not use the gaaps and hand them? but what do you need? play store and play services? and what versions?
ah I forgot, with twrp 2.8.6.0 does not reboot and to do this i have to take the battery off, also i can not do the dalvik wipe .... but the CM11 works
Help!!
thanks,
Mario
Is it true that leeco phones will not receive android 7 ?

Why?
Do you have any source for this? How do you know?
NOT TRUE - http://www.droid-life.com/2017/01/06/leeco-expect-software-updates-soon-address-user-pain-points/
yes, but he does not speak of nougat
I was just reading that you won't be able to receive any updates with international stock rom installed.
Is that really true? I can't find any option in settings to search or install any updates.
I am kind of happy with the international stock rom. No Chinese apps installed, no bloatware (so far found) and google play store is working.
Thanks!

What do you mean under international stock rom? Could you be more specific?
There are so called "webshop" roms, which are - as you can see in the name - modified by the online stores. Those roms are based on Indian version of eui , installed lots of bloatwares, multilanguages are contained. These are not official roms, not gonna be updated.
You should consider installing offical chinese/indian rom, which is gonna be updated for sure.

A user can always update the shop rom with the latest official rom via recovery. The easiest way to do it.

I am not really sure if I am running a Shop ROM. Just bought the phone from Gearbest.
I just thought that the Indian Version is the international version with multilanguage. I have LeEco Store installed and 3-4 other apps. But it really seams to be a Shop ROM because of the missing update option.

Can you explain what to do?
Just download the latest Indian version than rename it to update.zip and put it in the root folder and after that Power + Vol + and thats it?
I just dont want to lose German language on the phone. It is for my mother so usability is the most important, you know.
Thank you guys in advance!

Guess you are right. But you won't get OTA updates, if you use webshop rom. I didn't get neither.

Very simple. Yes.
I have Deutsch in my latest official Chinese 20s.
So does it mean that I can flash/update eather Indian or Chinese ROM just over the shop ROM without losing any data and language?
Sounds too easy for me
Yes, its easy like that i upgraded from shop rom to 21S Chinese - and I was wondering that german is better supported in 21S Chinese then in the germanized shoprom version ... only bad thing was - i lost the google play store.

And to get back Google Play Store you have to download it in LeEco store or just install the Indian version instead of the Chinese, right?

I installed the cookie version 92 2 works fine. After wipe wipe data, flash with twrp and is done. Try. The zip file is called
X820_TWRP_ADVANCED_V3.1.1_CUOCO92. ZIP
yes but i heard leeco engineering work on android 7
Heyyo, yeah that international EUI ROM is modified and won't get OTA hence the check for updates is missing.
For my x829 I couldn't upgrade to Indian or Chinese EUI directly via the recovery and update.zip. It would give an error message about file errors. Only way for me to flash other ROMs was to use TWRP via temp boot via fastboot and then flash other ROMs.
I ended up not liking even newer EUI versions so now I use custom ROMs as they have a better setup with the more like Stock Android experience with the quick settings in the notification drawer.
It's still hard to tell if LeEco will be able to follow through with Nougat for their phones due to all the financial issues they have... But meh, tbh I'm not worried given how darn good community ROMs are and how they don't have the odd quirks that EUI have.
Albeit, it would be nice if they at least put out kernel sources for Nougat (or I guess Android O which will be out sooner than later) which could improve community ROMs a bit

It was said by January. Still they didn't released an update :crying:
Last update i got was on 14th October 2016. When ever i send a mail asking about the next update they respond like we will inform in a week or two. But they never did. By the end of march they said that they are working on android 7 but it will take more time. They said expected release will be july last week. I mailed again now. No responses from them.
I like the EUI very much. I don't want to install some custom rom. But same time, this thing have lot of bugs and many futures need modification.
I wasn't able to find any MicroG thread with V30 so here we go.
I am after the point of rooting the device and now trying to figure out best ROM option.
Ideally I would like to use MicroG as I like the idea of maneuverability and full control over Gapps - seems to be better option than AOSP + Gapps as Gapps going to send out mobile info with or without Google account anyway.
I have h931 on oreo so as I understand I should use Joan version of Lineage I want to flash but it's not on the list on official LineageOS with MicroG page.
Have anyone tried to flash any of those ROMs
https://download.lineage.microg.org/
or installed MicroG after Lineage and is successful so far?
Goal is to install and use Banking app when it's needed and then switch off all Google functionality.
Thanks
Most ROMs support MicroG.
I randomly searched in the ROM forum here and this was in the OP of one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-cosp-pie-t3930546
"Also, we provide the option to go completely without GApps using MicroG support."
Best to go down to the ROMs, find one you like and read their OP, then ask questions.
If you want Lineage specifically see bottom part of this post:

I'm on COSP with an H932 and am considering making the jump to microg once I have had the time to understand the process pretty well. As @ChazzMatt said there are a few threads on XDA dealing with this. Do a search and you'll find what you need. I also found this site useful "https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/README.md#installation-process"
It gives a lot of info on the install side, but also some on the after install. Once I have the time to give this a try I'll post my results.

I hope for you this will be useful.
Im on Oreo V22j, with fully functional MicroG.
On the previously version V22h(?) I had MicroG only ever y second boot working.
I installed the ROM complete clean, delete all Google Apps, from ROM, patched the service.jar to support signature spoofing and push the apks witch I get from micro g site in /priv-app Folder.
Since it works perfectly.
The YouTube Vanced thread has a modified microG that works well along regular pre-installed GApps.

It has to be the most wicked thing I've read in a while.
You basically binned whole Gapps folder
I am probabaly doing terrible job searching the forum but couldn't find Oreo 22j I hope you just flash it after h and it's all good.
I still have doubts that somehow after removing whole Gapps there is some part of LG bloatware coded inside ROM rejoicefully sending data about mu phone usage.
I was going to go for your solution but this came to my mind.
Anyways @Nemeziz 56th can you please provide more details about the process? Where is it from?
Thanks

His EU H930 22j = US998 22h. You would be using US998 22h, unless Pie comes for US998 this week.
Different V30 variants are on slightly different Oreo firmware number/letter combinations. The latest Oreo US998 is 22h, while the last Oreo for EU H930 is 22j. (Yes, they have Pie 30b now, but let's keep the discussion to Oreo.) It doesn't mean they are more advanced than US998 (on Oreo) -- it's just H930 Oreo launched before North American variants got Oreo last year -- so they had a couple extra security update releases before US998 20a hit. While the numbering is slightly different, the features are the same.
The only V30 variant that is different at this point in time on Oreo firmware is the Canada H933. For some reason they never got the DTS 3D stereo framework everyone else got in the late 2018/early 2019 Oreo firmware updates.
Ended up without MicroG for now as I will try to install it on another device.
Thank you for your input all.

My Problem was, I delete to much things, where I thought it was bloatware. At the end my Google Keep,QuickMemo Notes and some other stuff was not able to work.
It took me 2-4x of reflashes to find out that Google Chrome was the App which force close Google Keep, when I delete it(Only freezing it is safe)
I did a clean flash (Wiping everything in TWRP) then put the V22J which I get from here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-lg-v30-joan-h930-eu-21h-twrp-t3864728)
I root the device with magisk (it shouldn't be a problem to find the right zip.) and flash the nano patcher zip which patch the service.jar to support signature spoofing (https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/)
Let it boot first time and then starting to remove bloatware with Solid Explorer. (Important to know not to delete the bloatware from the twrp recovery before the device did his first boot, because you will get System UI force close. It was a experience that I get.
I delete Google Play Market, Google GMS and the Play Record Service (which show you your achievement in games), YouTube nearly everything. I will attach some screenshots.
Then I freeze and delete LG Apps. I recommend to freeze the LDB apk not to remove because the system could start massive wakelock.(I get some on older version)
Then just put these all apks: https://microg.org/download.html in PRIV-APP and set the permission to 777
Boot to Recovery wipe cache.
And now I was able normal to set up my phone.
When you delete apps and you don't know are these apps important just serach for there name in Google.
I'm not the developer of this rom obviously, but the Calyx team recently released CalyxOs for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro in Beta version.
Let's just use this thread to give feedbacks, opinions about this ROM and how it performs on your device!

I flashed CalyxOS on my Pixel 2XL a couple weeks ago and I'm liking it. I think I can finally dump Google Voice, too, so Calyx on P6 might be my next big move.
I flashed my pixel 6. I have to say the installation was fast and really easy ! I have one problem though, I can't install any apk. The weird part is that I can install app with fdroid and aurora but not from apk files. If anyone knows what I can do tell me
I haven't got around to trying it yet. Will test myself and report back. What about from adb? (adb install ...)

I solved my problem. First the file explorer does not have install privilege by default so I gave it the oermission. Then it was duckduckgo browser fault. It removes the extension part, I had to rename the file with an ".apk" at the end.
It might help someone in the future.

Do you have to root your phone to install CalyxOS?
Also, is there a list of popular apps that don't work MicroG?

root isn't necessary, just an unlocked bootloader and working USB drivers.
I'm not aware of a list but it would be interesting to see one. Narrowing your question to specific apps might fetch a better answer. At one time I ran /e/ Foundations's ROM and never came across app barriers I thought mattered for a de-googled phone.
Is Calyx OS good for my usage ?
I'm using a lot of google apps (photos, maps, gmail (not in push), drive) but I don't want to give out all my information to Google constantly...
Is it possible to use Gapps with microG ?

update : found what i need from aurora store and work on calyx v. 3.1.1
I flashed CalyxOS on Friday with MicroG and I have to say I'm not missing anything so far apart from Google Pay. All my other apps work as they should.
The only problem is some of my most used apps are activated via in app purchases which isn't detected by the Aurora Store, so I've contacted the devs to see if there is a way to activate it manually.
All in all I'm really happy with Calyx so far.
Hi, can someone help me go back to stock rom after installing calyxos .
Update after about a month of CalyxOS and one OTA update. Really happy. Was adamant that I would go with GrapheneOS but somehow COS looked good out of the box and fit my use case real well (no microg). Fdroid, Aurora, Signal all pre loaded for me.
