Le Max 2 Update for rom - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hi, LeMax 2 receive Official Android 7.0?
I have bought this smartphone last month

No.
Le have not given Android 6 for Le Max 1 users of last year. So we cannot expect Android 7 for Le Max 2.
You would have to buy Le Max 3 with Android 7.

Hi,
that gives some hope to see Android N on this Phone.
I have it and I would be really sad to see it go because of lack of support, be it from manufacturer or from community.
All it would take is for LeEco to release sources for the kernel.
I understand they want to keep their "EcoSystem" to themselves... Then again, it would be pretty easy to release a version with another model number and the kernel source just for that model... that wouldn't be sold within China or other regions where LeTV services are not offered.
Regards.

I hope it will too, I've been eyeing this for awhile now (250 USD at time of writing). Given the specs not much else compares at the price point. The fact that the Mi5 base model is underclocked and the model above is a solid 100 USD more makes it less desirable to me. I'm hoping that if it does get N we'll be able to use Daydream VR with that 2K display, assuming response time and sensors are up to it...

edit:
The ZUK Z2 is in the same price range actually... but seems to suffer from the same problem of great hardware but lack of software support. Not quite sure anymore which device to go for anymore

Nougat for Leeco Le Max 2

Is any developer going to do a ROM based on Android Nougat. Now when the Nougat 7.0 AOSP is released..
Skickat från min Le X820 via Tapatalk
Quite a few developers have abandoned their development for Le Max 2 as it is such an unpopular phone. They have moved on to One Plus 3.
Even I am willing to sell off my Le Max 2 because the company is such a b**** to deal with when it comes to support.
One Plus 3 not having Quick Charge based charging is currently holding me back. I am heavily invested in QC 3.0 chargers. All will go to waste if I get One Plus 3. It also has screen quality and calibration issues. Colors appear to be neon like.
We might not even get official Android Nougat 7 for our Le Max 2 as the company has not yet provided Android Marshmallow 6 to Le Max 1 as of today.
Who in their right minds will buy their products? God save this company.

Hi,
It's correct that the OnePlus 3 is more popular.
But owning it, I really would advise NOT TO BUY IT ! It's only plus over the LeEco is the community support...
I would recommend the Axon 7... I've seen it. It's really nice. But it's not available as for now here in Europe.
Besides, Google will announce their own devices anytime soon now. I'd wait for those ones to see how they are price wise.
I also do not understand why those devs that were working on the LeEco never published sources... That would allow other devs to continue their work, and maybe give this device the popularity it deserves.
Regards.
Hello everyone,
I read on the forum that the developer were arrested Roma on the phone max2 because not enough love ?? I would buy it, I hoped for a follow rom ??

Hi,
Not really sure to understand what you mean...
Anyways : yes, ffboy2009, which has delivered a lot of the ROMs, and especially CM13, has announced that the latest CM13 build he posted would be the last development on this device.
Unfortunately, he seems to be the only one to have had access to LeEco kernel sources and he hasn't released sources so unless anyone with the sources can come up, we're stuck with Android MM.
Regards.

LMAO. I hope he meant developer from Roma has stopped Le Max 2 development. Arrested = stopped (Dude is using some seriously messed up translator)
If you browse ydss.cn with google translate, you get hilarious translations like "I support the landlord for his landlording, pour some chopsticks over my tea"

Ofcourse. How can they forget to discuss about Soy sauce in the middle of ROM development?

Hello, WTF is Roma?
LeEco has released kernel source code for this device. MM-based Mokee firmware daily builds are available. Cm14 is in its early stages of development and is not available for many devices. However, there are no problems which can prevent CM or other AOSP nougat based ROM from not being released for this phone.
I also have this question. I just bought the Le Max 2 (maybe regrettably) and was hoping to find at least a rom with 7.0 in it. I need to get rid of EUI ASAP.
Try Mokee rom. Google it and you will find a download page. Soon there will be a nougat based CM14
we were close to a nougat rom. @ffboy2009 have a working rom a few days ago. just the camera wasnt working. but it seems that some people are more concernerd with secondary issues that could be resolved via private messages that actually help. the same people that only write in le max foruns to create problems, but to help resolve them, not one single post. hope @ffboy2009 can post is rom soon so other people like the great dev @STEVE_MARS can help solve the bugs
@ffboy2009 can you please post the ROM? Thanks

I would get the 829 unless you can find an 820 with more than 32gb of storage.
This place has really good prices
https://www.coolicool.com/cell-phones-t-289?filter_attr=0.0.0.0.0.12098.0.0.0.0
Depends where you live. If USA, get X829, if Europe or somewhere else, it's better to get the X820. The B20 is not working on X829 and until now nobody managed to make it work.
Also as I've noticed on the forum is that more users with X829 have issues with fingerprint sensor than users with X820.
The perfect buy would be X820 4/64 Grey IMHO.
Finally you should decide.
PS: Why not X720 Le Pro3?
dont buy it ..
go to Le pro 3 or leeco cool s1

It depends, the Le max 2 has a much better camera, display, gives more RAM and ROM for the price and the performance is literally 10% slower than the le pro 3 (so you would not see a massive performance lag between the devices, only if you look in the milliseconds which is not very noticeable to the human eye), also the le pro 3 does not have qfiles so if you hard brick it you can NOT revive the mobile and would have to send it for repair, which would take alot of time, this may be why the le max 2 is a much better option.
I have X829, got it last week , with 16s vendor rom, then I flash 19S Indian rom.
there is no issue in the phone, it is amazing and only 170 euro by banggood
also fingerprint sensor work fine.

The same was LeMax2 regarding QFIL files. When the phone was released, there were no files available, they surfaced later after few months (I've done the tutorial in November and the phone was released in May).
Pro3 has some advantages that you haven't mentioned: smaller screen (more pocketable), FHD (it's enough IMHO, and better for the battery and GPU), bigger battery, same RAM, slightly better processor, newer (let's assume that support will be better than LeMax2's as it has a US release). If I wouldn't care about the price, Pro3 would be my choice.

Yeah, I see where you are coming from , it just depends on the user. Also I think at this price point a lot of users would have price as one of their main factors of buying a mobile. My preference would have a larger crisper 2K screen (much better than FHD in VR and because you have no risk with bricking the mobile with no support currently you can easly root the mobile and change the resolution to 1080p to put less strain on the CPU and GPU, I think this is much better than FHD has you get the best of both worlds, VR and typical mobile gaming) , better camera and a lot more RAM and ROM for the price (6GB 128GB variant costed me $250 while the cheapest le pro 3 4GB 32GB variant is $260) and I wouldn't want to be waiting another 3+ months with a hard bricked mobile. And yes the battery on the le pro 3 is much better but for most users the battery time on the Le max 2 is sufficient enough and for still paying less you could buy a power bank. So right now I would still buy the le max 2, but definitely when those QFIL files come for the le pro 3 it would be very difficult to choose from.:good:

For X820 or X829 there are the same amount of ROMs, there is no difference between them. Gapps can be easily flashed on either, go for X820 if it's the same price.

LeEco Pro 3 Elite X722 vs. LeEco Le Max 2

Has anyone had both of these phones in hand? Both can be purchased for the same price.
I have a rough idea of the positives and negatives of each model in my head. Does anyone else here have an opinion on which is the better phone overall?
I have also posted this to the LeEco Pro 3 community to try to get a better idea from owners of both phones.
Why not X720? The X722 does not share the same hardware as X720 and there is less development/support. Keep in mind that LeEco might never update any device in the future, so all lies with the good hearted developers.
If you live in Europe and you'll choose LeMax2, make sure it's the X820 and not the cheaper X829 due to Band20.
For me, the choice would be between X720 and X820.

Hey, thanks for you reply. I can get the X722 and X820 for the same price.
The X720 will be 45%-50% more for me.
Would you say that the X820 is the clear winner over the X722? I have to agree with you with regards to ROM development. There only seem to be ~3 active ROMs for the X722. The Le Max 2 seems to have a lot more active community.
The X722 is a niche device, so I would say it's not worth it.
I would go for the X820 in this case. It already has android 8.1. All credit goes to the excellent devs.
The only thing that might bother you is the fingerprint lottery. Many users claim it fails after a while. Mine is working for more than 1.5 years, but some report total breakdown of the fp even after few days of usage. If you can live without it, then just get it. I'd say a 50-50 chance.
I have both., X820 and X722.
1. Display - Le Max wins - super colors and ultrasharp, Le Pro looks much worse side to side.
2. Battery - Le Pro wins, lasts longer.
3. Custom ROMS - no winner. Indeed, there are not too many roms for LePro but in the end you need only one. I use AEX 7.1.2, stable, full features, no bugs noticed.
4. Sound - Le Pro wins - stereo speakers.
But my final suggestion is: if you don't care too much about battery life, buy Le Max 2. The display makes the real difference.
Heyyo, I would NOT RECOMMEND the Le Pro 3 Elite! It is NOT COMPATIBLE with Le Pro 3 custom ROMs as it uses the SD 821 and Le Pro 3 Elite uses the SD820!
There have been some community members messing about trying to get it working properly on LineageOS but it won't have as good of support as an actual Le Pro 3...
Same goes for that Le Pro 3 AI Edition which uses a MediaTek Helio X23. No kernel sources for that means no custom ROMs.
Isn't the x722 the pro elite. To be honest I just want a phone with the Google camera. So considering the Max 2 has better ROMs, would that be a better option to buy?
x722 is slowly getting ROMs, so it's an option I think. Le Max 2 has a good chance to have a dead FP out of the box, or the FP to die suddenly (like mine) and recover God knows when if it recovers (yes, by itself) at all. x722 is good if more developers start doing stuff for it, I see a good start.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...rom-lineage-os-14-1-x722-elite-based-t3705186
In my opinion, the Le Max 2 X820 is a better choice. Hardwear is the same in both Snapdragon 820, Adreno 530, RAM LPDDR4 and UFS 2.0, but the Le Max 2 has a much better display, the battery is smaller, but it loads very fast thanks to Quick Charge 3.0. The loudspeaker sounds very loud and good. There are plenty of ROMs to choose from. Thanks to the fact that the screen is flat, there is no problem with matching the tempered glass.
I recently bought the X820 6/64 version with the B20 band for 200 USD and I recommend it, I'm satisfied.

Excatly. For example I use X722 (Elite) with AICP and this is stable and no buggy ROM. There is a nice feature to use on - one can change saturation of colors under Live Display options - and X722 display does need it

Consider getting Le Eco

Hi guys, I am considering taking a new phone (a budget one) and i found out about Le Eco. I have two questions:
First one , from what i can see in the homtom site, Le Eco Le 2(5.5 Inches Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 64-bit Octa Core 8MP+16MP) is more expensive than Le Eco Le S3(MTK6797 Helio X20 Deca Core Android 6.0 21.0MP+8.0MP ). Why is that? I don't know a lot about phones , but isn't Le S3 newer and better model with better processor and camera? Why is the older model more expensive?
And the second question , despite the price , what model of Le Eco should i take , to use a stable custom rom. I"ve never used one , but i really want to try and use.
Thank you.
Oh, I will use the phone in Europe, Bulgaria.
Heyyo, I'd recommend going with the Leeco Le 2 as it is compatible to third party roms. Such as the official LineageOS builds. A coworker of mine bought the Le 2 (s2) and I installed LineageOS 14.1 for her and she loves it
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s2
The S3 is cheaper as MediaTek processors cost less but there is pretty much no custom ROM scene so I wouldn't recommend it for long term software support from the community...
Thank you, man!! Then S2 will be.
Heyyo, you're very welcome!
You can see here how lively LeEco Le S2 custom ROM development is
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-2/development
I've seen some work being done on Oreo (beta) as well so she's still going strong

Phone similar to LeMax 2

So the camera on my Le max 2 died, and was wondering if there's a phone that has similar specs/price as Le max 2. I mean LeMax2 is a great phone for about 200$ with a snapdragon 820 it's a steal.
Here's a "best of" list of SD820 phones - there might be something that you'd be interested in on it...
Also, the Le Max 2 is still available if you're willing to have one shipped from China.

Heyyo, tbh it's pretty darn cheap to get a replacement camera module.
If you check around the forums I'm sure you can find recommendations for new camera modules that others have bought to replace their cameras. :good:
Take a look at Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro.I don't know if its still available or not, but it has the same processor and last known price was $250-300.
ZUK Z2 Pro, ZTE Axon 7
I would recommend something with a Snapdragon 660 or even the new 710 series. The Smartisan Nut Pro 2 is an awesome phone.

Yeh but replacing the module would be more difficult and I know I would screw it up..
