So I've ordered my my first Android phone, the Le Max 2 X829 and while I wait for it to arrive I am thinking about what Custom ROM to install.
I'm wanting something fairly stable for daily use and that won't drain my battery any faster.
At the moment I thinking of using Lineage OS.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Again same question, just read the forum.
Best of luck to you, for a 1st android phone you sure picked a rough phone to learn the fun of customization..
Well I do think that the best rom so far for customization is resurrection remix which has a lot of options and it's really stable, but If you like EUI you can check other roms
Mokee :victory:
I join the question, what would be the best rom currently available? There are so many ...
Most seem to have basic funcionalitys missing , like "camera not working" , which a consider unacceptable.
Maybe question should be different, which ROM has everything (or the most) working in an acceptable manner?
Thanks

Hello,
I can not install the latest Chinese version (23s). I went through the different threads and tried to install custom ROMS. Every time, the same problems: no way to use the Gapps without it crashing, or the phone restarts. If the stock allows me a normal use of the phone, would you have a method with clear steps to install it?

Really? Which one , indian? Chinese? American?
Why the effort in making custom roms if they are not better then original ones?!

Because they do. Why not try a few and see? Easy to switch and try em. I am using 23s Chinese and it seems the best to at the moment.
Ok thanks.
So I asume everything Works on 23s chines?
If not , can you tell what doesn't?

Why not try it and see. Everything works. Be nice to have more screen on time than 4.5hrs but otherwise it's fine. No crashes or re boots. Camera is fine etc.
I'm on 23s stock rom. I think its the most stable rom. Very happy with it
All custom ROMs for Max2 are either buggy, laggy, and have some functions missing or completely untrustworthy.
I mean you must be totally crazy to the point of being an utter idiot to run something prepared by God knows whom and trust your phone with your personal data. You may as well publish all your passwords right here in this forum. I don't understand this obsession with closed source ROMs.
I bought this phone and it's been lying switched off for the past two weeks because I don't know what to run. No options whatsoever.
The official Chinese ROM has tons of stuff I don't want to run and their launcher totally sucks (I'm a Pure Android (read Nexus/Pixel) devotee).

Why did you buy it then? What did you expect? Did you not read up on here before buying?
You should buy a pixel or oneplus instead. I run Chinese rom with nova launcher and its good enough for daily use for sure. I really want a oneplus 3t but I am too tight at the moment to bring myself to pay 3 times as much for similar spec but I know the software experience will be loads better.
One thing I would wish for is better battery life but guess it's the immense screen killing it.

A dirt cheap SD820 device with excellent specs.
No, unfortunately I didn't read up on the ROMs situation with this phone. I mean I visited these forums and I saw many ROMs available and people were telling that a fingerprint scanner didn't work (which I don't care at all because I will never use it since I'm actually a security person). I didn't realize this phone camera barely functions with custom ROMs, I didn't realize for instance that LineageOS (which I thought I would be using) was so laggy and its maintainers didn't care.

I guess you don't trust Windows, iOS as they are all closed or you just don't trust chinese rom? And also a little strange you trust custom rom made by someone from internet. Then why buy a chinese phone? What if they put something in the chip to get your info?

Microsoft and other companies (including LeEco) have a reputation to keep.
ROM developers don't even have real names. Your perception of the world is clearly skewed.
And no, I don't trust Windows 10, while I fully trust any Windows that came before it (including Windows 95). Oh, btw, there were Windows before 95, but you're probably not aware of them.

Ok, my question is neither a disrespect to any dev working on the device nor i decline all their hard work which they put in bringing us cm and twrp etc... This is simply a question...
After cm, will devs work on other roms, to port them to our phone e.g aokp or pacman....
Sorry if i hurt anyones feelings.. I know u guys are working hard....

Du and broken are both supposed to be coming to the 5x after we get official marshmallow. Those are about the only 2 I care about so IDK about any others. Broken already has lollipop for it but they aren't going to release it to the public until it's upgraded to mm.

I hope some custom roms some through fast, the stock really sucks a** and it's just not Android from UX or it's functions! Such crap OS, hell, can't even use basic root apps effectively (like TB) or install straight forward mods (v4A for ex)....all things either screw up the system or just don't work! The CM build by crpalmer seems to be working for most, but it lack fingerprint support something of a factor that made me buy this phone in the first place

Without the correct sources and binaries i'm not seeing any sort of custom ROMs become stable enough for daily use. Even Lollipop ROMs are currently bug-ridden due to Honor releasing ****ty code.

Yea, thanks for the hint though i love all the tinkering I do, I missed the alternative launcher option! I installed Nova and it's much better than the stock Huawei home launcher.
Also, on the V4A, somehow it refuses to work at times and having an "abnormal" status for the driver. Uninstalled it completely now and flashed the Dolby Atmos, seems like my phone has suddenly come alive when it comes to speaker quality and music on headphones.......way better than what I was getting with V4A.

I was having the same problem with the "abnormal driver", then I got the selinux mode changer app and set it to change it to permissive on every boot... Viola! And yes it is much better with a different launcher. I'm running Google Now launcher and now that we have xposed I'm using xposed gel settings to get it just the way I want

Hey, so I've seen a lot of people talking about how good XX ROM is and it's better than YY because of something. Also another problem being the question of best ROM.
I'd like to say something: Everyone has their own thinking and point of view, so something's that's not important to you might be imporrtant to someone else, so making judgements like this is better than that is all dependant from person to person. We all know that no two mind think alike. These types of questions discourage developers so please it's my humble request to not post / compare ROMs calling them bad / good. If you don't like a feature then don't use it. Same goes for the ROM. If you can help improve then you most probably can via github or gerrit as some ROMs provide. With that being said. Thanksfor the time to read this post.
I kind of agree. I much prefer to see descriptions with a list of pros and cons rather than a simple "this ROM is better because I like these aspects"

How is it that even a thread specifically made to tell people not to ask questions about which rom is best, turns into a rom advice thread.

Won't make a separate thread for this but I'll ask here - what are 2-4 most popular ROMs for the OP2 going around nowadays? I've been using Exodus ROM for a long time and I really liked it, but the latest update was November 11th and it looks like the developers have moved on. The ROM is fine, and there's really nothing that I'm missing, but there are some stability issues with random reboots and force close and this is the longest I've gone without updating/changing something so I'm looking to try something new. I want to look into a few different options and read others' reviews and look into features and stuff, but it would be great if you guys could narrow down my search to the few most popular/well known/most supported roms that are currently available.

What is the best marshmallow ROM other than Oxygen..?!
Hi guys, I'm considering buying this phone, but I haven't used Xiaomi before
Right now I have a Huawei P8 and I regret buying it, pretty great specs but the firmware (i.e. bootloader, drivers) and software (their Android build) is crap. I recently installed CyanogenMod which is already a huge improvement, but the battery is only 2600mA and it's aged, so I don't even get a half day of medium high usage (watching videos, web, etc)
What I would like to know is mainly about the MIUI business
Huawei emui is crap, so please tell me whatever you want about Xiaomi's one
Also should I get the mtk or the sd version? Are there any other differences?
Is there anything you dislike about your note 4? I didn't do my homework before buying my P8, so please be honest with any problems you have with the phone
Feel free to ask me for clarification or additional preferences if I've left out anything
I feel I should mention that I'm a power user
I will definitely want to root my new phone, probably Xposed too, and if I don't like Xiaomi's ROM, then I'll probably use lineage OS
On that note, how easy is it to do the above? Should I be satisfied with MIUI?

You can play with your phone whatever you want, there are tons of roms available right now, rooting and flashing is easy, but I think unlocking the dayyym bootloader might take few days.
If you don't like Miui, you can always switch, Infact i dont like Miui its sucks for me. I left Miui like long ago, I won't be reverting to Miui anytime soon.
Its depends, some of em likes Miui, most of em' don't, custom Roms FTW!!
Battery is great, camera is also good.. [sorry I dont take photos, I dunno about quality ??]
Go get it, that's all I'd like to say!
Careful it has two variant; Snapdragon and Mediatek SoC. If you're custom ROM's addict, pick the SD ones.

I'm very much the same, almost never use camera. I've heard MIUI has beat features, like the double account thing. But you're right, if I don't like it there's always another ROM (in which case the Snapdragon would be better since more ROMs)

Yes I noticed from browsing the forums, but I mean I'm generally very content with Cyanogen, so I don't think I need too much variety.
The having to wait to get bootloader code sounds similar to Huawei, but what a large portion of Huawei users didn't know about was the website that let you fill in your details and instantly get a code (Huawei website, not shady stuff)

Seems it's all basically MIUI or cyanogen variants

Well, I got it.
CM is dead and LineageOS is the new CM now.
But but.. If I were you I'd like to choose SD variant over an MTK one, because of development.
The stable Roms you get, when EOL of a device then there might be newer android versions via custom roms, where as MTK variant stuck, if you look in the MTK variant roms, kernel sections, you'll get it.
check on miui website for locked bootloader and you will definitely avoid this great but due to lock phone.

Hello to all,
sorry if I open another thread for this request, but Cosmic Dan, dev who was working on MIUI GSI, has abandoned the porting. He told me that all WIP was pushed to GitHub, so please is there any devs who can port MIUI Rom on treble devices? (I have Honor View 10). Thanks
Hi,
for information, I made the same request in MIUI Porting Team forum: http://en.miui.com/thread-3355142-1-1.html
I hope someone will be able to finish the kitchen.
PS: Even if CosmicDan give up, I would like to thank him for the time he spent trying to port MIUI to treble phones.
I have a feeling this will have the same outcome as the other thread. Why are people so desperate for MIUI anyway? If you want it, go buy a Xiaomi phone, they're relatively inexpensive for smart phones nowadays.

I'm not desperate, for me Miui is the best rom and before the Honor View 10 I had a Xiaomi mi5. But now the top Xiaomi devices are not so nice (notch everywhere), so would be nice to have Miui Rom in other devices.

It is not illegal if you're not selling it, besides; xiaomi will appreciate you using its cloud and cloud based features as they can offer you services that requires money and make profit out of you, as you may know; xiaomi does not makes profit out of hardware but of its miui software and its bloatwares, so i think its a win win situation.
The spirit of using GSI roms is to be able to try anything.
To say if you like Samsung OS, LG OS, or Miui OS go buy it. Does nothing but prove that you are arrogant and clueless.
Please miui ROM GSI

Abroad different forums OP fans seem to be triggered when talking about MIUI, or request it for an OP device.
Be helpful or don't reply at all if you're gonna be a **** about it.
I absolutely love MIUI, however due to the device not being sold in the Netherlands, I chose for an OP6 (Warranty, local support etc), on which I hope some day I can flash MIUI10 on.

I barely remember making this comment. But, I was a little rude, no doubt. I remember that someone made a very rude ( that commenter was dickish)
Their comment about how people should buy Miui, instead of simply asking about gaining access to a ported Miui Rom.
Why say something like this, on a custom Rom website, and in the GSI rom section!
I cant find that comment now....deleted? Regardless, the spirit of using custom Roms and and especially GSI roms is to be able to have access to a wide variety of Roms, and its nice to have something different instead of the usual CAF and AOSP roms.
Yes, its nice to have greater access, and to be able to try different things. Thanks to being able to try a ported miui rom, my next phone will absolutely be a Xiaomi. You cannot currently buy Xiaomi in the US, and thanks to our political "geniuses" Chinese phone prices are sure to skyrocket, making Xiaomi plans to expand into the US market, even less certain.
Regardless, my next phone will very likely be a Mi Mix 2s, largely because I was able to try the Miui software via a ported custom rom. Although I cannot find the phones locally they are certainly easily found online.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to find GSI roms, that allow us to try a greater variety customised android OS's by One Plus, LG, Samsung, Huawei? I think so.
Xiaomi lately released a Pie ROM, I suggest it's a GSI https://www.xda-developers.com/android-pie-alpha-build-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/
already extracted system.img with brotli, let's see if it can be ported :good:
Any progress? :good:

I think there is anyone interested to port MIUI
From what I believe no-one is working on it, @CosmicDan was working on a port but as I recall he got tired of the impatience and ungrateful community responses he took a break, or quit it entirely.
That was our last hope for active development, as I believe no-one is working on it right now

I'm not sure whether you mean you are working on it, or somebody else is.
How'd you figure this is a GSI rom? (maybe I just didn't read well enough)

That is very sad. Miui is a great UI.
Just checked the specs of this device and it suddenly averted my plans of purchasing an Asus ROG Phone 2 given the specs and features it offers - and considering that that device doesn't have any working Custom Roms (hey the reason we're here at xda). Now question is, is this device series famous enough to warrant the attention of the devs here? Considering that the Black Shark 2 doesn't have any working roms, even at this point, am I asking for a miracle? Would like to hear your thoughts fellas. Thanks

Hoping for TWRP, decrypt, and Magisk. That's enough to get a 7.1" phone (real objective). Stylus is a bonus.
I really do hope we get root. I'm planning to get one soon simply cuz it seems like the best option for gaming or watching watching movies. Even if the ROG phone 3 comes out later, it won't be any significantly better except the bigger battery but the charging on this phone certainly makes up for that.
I have the same concerns as OP. Currently have a Pixel 4XL and was thinking of moving to the OnePlus 8 Pro. However, this phone seems promising but it would probably be a deal breaker if there isn't any development for it. I'd love to see root with an AOSP ROM.
Just goes to show how appreciative we should be of the developers making all these goodies for us noobs

Aoso rom? Why? You'd loose the ability to use the benefits of the Pro.

Assuming the ROM has the main stock ROM features ported! I know, much easier said than done but a man can dream haha

I agree. With the current issues going around OnePlus display issues, and that really high price tag coupled with the fact that I game alot and OnePlus tends to heat up rather quickly and gets hot to the touch real quick (currently running a 6T) I decidedly to pull the trigger on the Blackshark 3 pro instead. Really hoping for development here, as I think it's a fantastic device that's largely underrated.

Yeah I'm good with TWRP and Magisk setup, as I think we need the stock ROM to utilize its physical trigger buttons. Anyway, its already 3 months and there's no development activity on this thread, hope all is not lost and maybe we'll have some goods waiting on the month of June or July :good:

The issue is mainly blackshark not allowing a bootloader unlock rather than anything else. If we get a supportive community I think it's possible overtime. I'd really just be happy with magisk and a few mods. The phone is already really fast and has great battery life (if you pair it with the 65W charger)

Too expensive. Guy is charging $80 for bootloader unlock, root and rom switch. All of which can be done for free if and when we can get the tools. Not worth it

Blackshark will never publish anything , the guy is an engineer at black shark and doing it secretely , so i think it worth it because we dont have any other solution
You can ask him to lower the price or only unlock and i will provide you twrp to root

In the meantime if it's no trouble can you please make a thread and tell us how well magisk is working and what modules are working etc. It might encourage other people to look to this option for rooting. We need more people on board if we want any kind of development.

Damn, and here I am, ready to purchase the K30 Pro Zoom instead. As the K20 Pro premium that came before it had lots of development going on.
How I wish black shark was the same. ?

K30 pro is a great phone. Well, I'm happy that root is AT LEAST possible, too bad paying is the only option we have rn for Black Shark. I still think the BS3 is a great phone despite low development but the choice is yours buddy
