it's not all about stability and "yeeaa, this rom has everything working", we try new roms and live new experience, when you install a Nogut Rom on your old phone and you taste the Nogut flavour on a phone that was dumped years ago from its company, that is cool, plus new Android comes with newer security patches, so more higher is more safer, not all new roms have these bugs, and even if they do they get fixed in the future, same as when a company releases a buggy update for one of its phones, it gets fixed in a newer one

considering buying a honor 5x

i currently use metro pcs . i would like to buy a good phone.
ive been considering the samsung j7 but the specs on the honor 5x look better.
ive been reading up and it looks like it accepts the metro pcs sims.
according to various reviews, the main issue with the honor 5x is the android interface.
i would like to know which is the best way to get a stock android rom while keeping the phone functional. ??
would installing a stock android be alot better than the current interface the phone comes with ? { is it worth it }
also .. can i play games like hitman sniper on the honor 5x ??
Got Modacco rom no problems or lags i camera from almost stock android
i just bought the phone from new egg, now im looking for a tutorial that shows how to change to a custom rom.
also... instead of custom rom, will i be able to increase performance by using another launcher instead of emui ??
or
am i better off installing a custom rom for maximum performance ?

Nova Launcher is considerably better than the stock EMUI launcher, though I'm not sure that would increase performance... If a faster phone's what you're looking for, then flash a custom ROM, preferrably one that's debloated and as close to AOSP (stock) as possible, so you don't have Huawei's apps slowing down your device. I'm currently using EMUI and fine with it until fingerprint support comes to stock ROMs, but many people agree that customs are much better, faster and stable than EMUI.
Since you didn't specify wether it's your first time flashing a ROM or doing advanced stuff, I'll advise you to read up carefully and thoroughly about what you're getting into - step-by-step guides are nice, but knowing what you're actually doing will most definitely come in handy in the future!
ive flashed a couple of tablets and phones.
theres two so far im willing to try , cm12 and modaco
ive been doing some research and I have some questions....
1- with cm12 does every thing work fine ? ex. fingerprint hdr etc..
2- with modaco does everything work fine ? ex. fingerprint hdr etc..
i want all of the phones features without any compromise

only the stock base roms have FP support ...Modaco is a stock base rom
none of the CM based roms have FP support - bliss - crdroid - aokp - RR - cm12 and cm13 all fall in this category

Hey. I have the honor 5x too. I installed a rom called resurrection remix os.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/rom-resurrection-remix-os-t3386555)
It is a really solid ROM and increases your performance greatly. It is based on cm 13. Everything works and is stable (on my phone at least). The only thing that doesn't work is the FP scanner. I only tried this ROM so I don't know how the other ROMs for this device perform. So far this has been a really stable option for me. Try it if you want.
Sent from my KIW-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
jimandroidnerd thncx for the input , i will try it first to see the best performance the honor 5x can give.
im mainly looking at "modaco" rom or the " rom-stock-b151-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3355130 " because they are either the stock or based on the stock rom.
also i want that fp scanner to work.
WAIT... i just noticed that modaco is only for the KIW-L21 ???
im getting a KIW-L24. what are my best options now with fp support??

Honestly, if you so desperately want FP support, stay on stock, or debloated which would be the most "custom" you'd get afaik. I'm also waiting for FP support so I know the feeling... There are some nice features in EMUI (that Themes customization app is a great thing honestly, I love it, for example) but I would like to run a custom ROM someday. We'll have to wait for the security base release I guess...
ima put in a stock.debloated.root rom and call it a wrap.
if im unsatisfied with the performance ill try resurrection remix os
and just not use the fingerprint.
im getting a KIW-L24 { as mentioned in post #8}
modaco is only for KIW-L21 { as far as i know }
i want a debloated rom that is stable , no glitches .
all reviews i read so far for this phone are positive,
except the emui interface and the preloaded bloatware .
i know im buying a budget phone , but i want it to work as smooth it possibly can

My bad, I missed the conjunction "or" in your sentence : "im mainly looking at "modaco" rom or the " rom-stock-b151-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3355130 ""...
But nobody than you can say what is a bloatware or not so even though Clsa's rom is good better create your own ROM removing what YOU consider as bloatwares.
Since Xposed framework v83 you can also install it by yourself without the need of a deodex firmware : you just have to consider the pros & cons of "deodex vs odex firmwares". Actual working version of Xposed framework for the Honor 5x is v85.
The other problem except EMUI is the lack of OTG feature as default and some other few stuffs...

Well, you actually CAN tell what is bloatware and what isn't, the only difference would be wether you find a particular app useful enough to not consider it a bother on the system...
There's basically no theoretical downside to deodexed ROMs or files, apart from boot time if you wipe dalvik. A question: is Xposed v85 a flashable .zip like normal Xposed? I read somewhere on here that you had to modify system files to do that, but I'f be very happy to know that the Honor 5X now has proper and easy Xposed installation available.
Arobase40 said:
Well I won't argue on what is bloatware or not as this is mainly personal to one another and I won't argue either against deodex vs odex ROM as as I said we now have the choice between apps customizations and ROM performance...
What only matter is your question : you can flash any Xposed Framework zip file with TWRP, but since v83 till v85 you can flash them whether you have deodex or odex firmware and the only change you have to do is to modify the build.prop file.
I actually have Xposed Framework v85 on my odex firmware and it works pretty well.
Click to expand...

So by flashing v85, I still have to change the build.prop file? Is there any guide on doing this? Honestly I'd rather wait for v86 if it means not having to edit system files, but if it's unavoidable, then I guess it can't be helped...
just got the phone yesterday. after i deleted some apps and changed emui to "google now launcher"
it seems to run fine. ill give it a week before i start changing the rom
Arobase40 said:
I don't think a v86 would be of any help, just a new Xposed framework installer app...
Otherwise you simply need a root explorer (or kind of same app with root rights).
If you don't want to do the changes directly into your system, you can copy the build.prop file to your Sd Card (keep an unmodified copy somewhere just in case), and do the changes from there with a notepad or such. Then copy the modified build.prop back to the system folder keeping the same permissions and reboot... That's it !

I'm actually reluctant to modify system files if at all possible not to do so since I almost bricked my 5X doing just that (well, kind of, stupid mistake but still...). I'm missing the easy Xposed framework installer honestly. I really hope someone creates an installer for this, or a single flashable zip that also modifies build.prop...
I also just got the device yesterday. Was surprised it allowed me to delete the bloatware on it! I guess they were nice and did not install them on the system partition.
ALso interested in any performance tweaks. Like the phone and os in general but with "budget" processor it would be good to have it running as light on resources as possible.

For performance there are custom, stock or debloated ROMs, and in case you're looking for something in addition to EMUI in order to make it faster I recommend you the apps "L Speed", "Greenify" (guessing you already know this one), and "Kernel Adiutor" if you're into kernel tweaking. Putting your cores on Performance governor should speed the device like hell, at the cost of battery life, but you can tweak it to a smaller degree and find your balance.

Then write a mail or a post to the author of the Xposed installer and ask him if he could create a specific installer for the Huawei/Honor devices... ^^

Wrote a post on the thread that was ignored, lol. It says on the FAQ that there can be problems with Huawei/Xiaomi as they are chinese manufacturers and do things differently to, say, Motorola, so I'm guessing I won't get a reply no matter how loud I cry out.
Arobase40 said:
Maybe you could try with a more polite way ? lol

But I was polite though... I think. It's probably got more to do with the fact that it's the general Xposed thread so your message gets buried behind bug reports and other questions, I guess. I was searching for other ways of contacting the dev but desisted upon finding that in the FAQ.

Which one cm 13 based rom is most stable as at 03-07-2016

Well i bought mi redmi note 3 kenzo in sort of thinking that it must posses some high level dev activities,but now i am thinking that i proved wrong,even after 4 months of launching this device ,it yet not get official cm support or any stable cm rom .every time when i open rn3 thread found every build has lot of bugs like
1.mic and speaker error
2.earphone bug
3.bt mac and other mac address diff.
4.unstable rils like wifi as reported by testers
5.camera fc errors
6.different fing. Sen. Remain unrecog.
7.proximity sensor error
8.sim related issues like volte and sim switch problems
9.battery bug
10.min. Brightness bug in rr latest 2-07-2016 build
11.and many others like media codecs bug,mtp transfer file bug
12.low quality camera
Even after this devs release them as stable daily driving . Why its development is too slow even at this earlier stage ?????
I dont know what will happen later on.... With this device
Never seen such issues in prior mi devices or other released phones .
Even mi devs seems less interested in this device (thats why they released miui 8 on 5.1 rather than 6.0.1)
After a big positive responses in sales of this device from buyers ,why they seems drawing back supports for global ones,even after being global one co. ,it remains stucked majorly with chinese .at least they should take care of indian market which warmly accepted and reposed in xiaomi .

There are many [unoffical/official]roms as of now , that are stable on 6.0.1 . Flash the roms yourself and then try it . Dont make decisions on the comments/replies on the tread itself . Building a stable rom is very time consuming and CM maintains roms of more than 1000+ devices , please wait until they decide to make it stable .

I am running Krexus BUILD-3 and I have none of the above bugs. Everything is running perfectly. Before, I was on Krexus BUILD-1 and even that was very stable, beside the Mobile Network FC bug.
Just want to ask if it still locks bootloader if we flash any cm13 or cm13 based roms? Or even aosp roms? This is the reason I am uet to flash any custom rom.

CM13 snapshot by thestrix is the best imo...
Nexus Experience is cool too + ressurrection remix

Please help me pick a custom Rom, overwhelmed

Finally managed to officially unlock bootloader, but since I started that process over 2 weeks ago, a lot has happened in the Rom and development forum. I was originally going for CM13, but I'm not longer sure if that's a good idea.
I mostly use my phone as a music player, and it runs most of the day while I'm at work. I occasionally send calls and text messages.
I got the RMN3 for the battery and significantly larger screen than what I had before. Phone plans in canada are god awful and as such I got literally no data on my plan, so outside of home wifi, I got no internet on it.
The reason I want a custom rom is mainly to remove bloat and improve battery life, and maybe add a few functions/ behaviours.
I don't really care about the fingerprint sensor, should it not work, but having the camera non-functional is a no-go.
I'm not really interested in constantly having to flash an update on my phone. I just want one good, stable rom with little to no bloat that will do what I'll ask it to, with a good battery life, without crashing. Updating once every month or so would be reasonable. I heard that Android 7(+) had some battery life improvements (Doze?) so I'm conflicted as to rom and android versions.
I'm pretty new to Android, and I'm completely overwhelmed by the many different types of roms, along with the many different versions of the same rom (Example: many CM14/14.1 builds).
There's a lot of guides, but most of them seem out of date.
Device: Global Dev, Kenzo
Any suggestions? (If possible, please also include which version of TWRP you would recommend)
I personnally own the Kate version and flashed the official CM13 ROM built for Kenzo on it.
Everything is working fine for me, including the fingerprint sensor and the camera.
I also use the phone to listen to music all day at work and it worked really well with good battery life.
About the TWRP version I used, honestly I don't remember very well since I tried a few and the reason was something to do with the Kate device I believe, so you may not have to use the same version of TWRP.

My recommendations for you :
Recovery - Alka TWRP
Rom - Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (rock stable, no bugs) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224385843
Kernel - Radon 2.6.5
I Was A Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation User & From The Day I Got The Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation I Was Using The ( Nexus Experience ) ROM & It's The Most Perfectly Stable ROM You Will Ever Use On Any Device & I Got The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Yesterday & I Am Waiting For The Permission Of Unlocking Then I Will Try The Custom ROM's For This Phone If You Want The Best Stable ROM's For Any Phone
It Goes Like This
1st Stable ROM : Stock ROM
2nd Stable ROM : CyanogenMod
3rd Stable ROM : Nexus Experience
And It's Only My Opinion But I Tried All Of The Custom ROM's For The Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation & I Didn't Found A Better ROM Than
( CyanogenMod , Nexus Experience ) , It's Just My Opinion
& Here Is The Link For The Nexus Experience ROM ( http://nxrom.us/redminote3pro.html )
nx rom...combined with any custom kernel here. you won't disapointed with those rom. stable, fast & light.

Hi, you mentioned stock ROM (not Cyanogen or Nexus experience, just stock). Where could I get that from?
I'm on beanstalk ROM (android 7.1) loving it!
Try krexus-CAF!
You could go for the official build of RR with Radon kernel
welcome to the race, mate
well if you want to improve battery life you are recomended to flash AOSP-Based roms . miui and cm-based roms have battery drain issue (i can't explain why, but i can say that because i tried them)
my recomendation would be Cardinal AOSP
try rr remix 5.7.4 with radon kernel...

Poco Android 10 roms bugs

I've been sticking to Pie bases custom roms till the time Android 10 roms become stable. Now I notice, many have changed their status to stable from beta, so was wondering if I should take the plunge now. Normally, I don't wait that long as have been flash junky previously but these days I have some work related apps on my phone, some of which can't be backed up and require support from IT team of my org to set it back up.
I've been going through threads of some a10 custom roms (cr, havoc, etc) and noticed some common bugs:
1. SELinux status - Don't care
2. Volte issues on some networks - It is imp. Does volte work without any issues on Jio (india) and preferably Idea/VF too (on both sims)
3. Encryption - Don't care, I mostly flash DFE anyway
4. Whatsapp Audio calls - Important. Some mentioned audio not coming correctly
5. Magisk - unable to pass safetynet. Although imp but not a show stopper
6. v4a - important. But i think its working now with some workarounds
7. f2fs - I think it works but just to confirm otherwise i have to format the storage
Are there any other bug besides this? And what is status for 2 and 4? If anyone can also comment on battery life and overall stability compared to Pie it will be helpful
its not long enough to start expecting fully backed custom rom on Android 10. I remember the switch from Oreo to Pie was disaster too! where from P to Q its much smoother.
this is why many (including myself) is currently on update suported version of Pie (Crdroid) and AOSIP (akhil narang) released latest build yesterday which is on PIE too.
frankly I will give atleast couple of months in order to have all Dirty Unicorn Customizations & other cosmetic affects to work properly!

Install GSI on A21s

Hi,
By advance, I am sorry, it's maybe a newbie question.
I want to test Android 12 on my device, I know they exist an experimental ROM created by grccorps (Thank a lot for his work ).
But, I desire to test the official and clean GSI ROM (like AOSP : https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list).
It's still possible to do that (with using recovery and fastboot) ? Or this is too soon, and there is a lot of issues for a daily use.
Thanks for your help
I am currently using grccorps' AOSP Android 12 ROM and haven't had any problem so far, aside from the lack of customization options (it's stock Android 12, totally clean). Everything works just fine, and haven't had any random reboots or similar bugs at all. You might want to give it a try.
