Which custom rom would you guys recommend on the X722 if choosing between
-LINEAGE 14.1
-PARANOID ANDROID 7.3
-GENESYS 26S
-FULL AROMA 20S
I am using stock EMUI now 26S and it's driving me crazy with play store keeps errorring and restarting and the stupid browser. Also i think it uses a lot of RAM.
Let me know what you think
If you're using stock 26s on the x722, are you sure you'll be able to flash another ROM without issue? Doesn't the stock 26s ROM lock the bootloader down, causing a brick the moment you try to flash any file from stock recovery (TWRP or ROM)? Or are you running the developer version of 26s? I heard the developer version doesn't lock the bootloader down but I'm not 100% sure. All I do know is that quite a few people here have tried flashing stuff over 26s, which has resulted in near-permanent bricks (see the brick thread in this sub-forum). Please correct me if I'm wrong
As for the Play Store errors, not sure why you're getting those. Did you install the Play Store after installing the ROM?

I'm also getting several Play Store errors on my X722. The ROM version reports as 26s, but i'ts probably the banggood store version. Is there any way of fixing this without altering the ROM?

Playstore was already pre installed, just performed an update with the new playstore. I've been reading through this topic on unlocking stock .26S.. this is the link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...--and-mods/unlock-bootloader-rom-26s-t3654083
You were right.. But this means I'm screwed .
As said below also instagram acts strange when accessing the camera and gets stuck or restarts.. Didn't even fully tried my phone since I dont have nano sim card yet.. :crying:

Also i get errors or programs that get stuck for example instagram
My stock version is EUI 5.9.026S , I really hope this ROM could be changed since it's not working as flawlessly as expected..
For some reason the phone just doesn't work like a 820 chip should work. Neither the stock rom, modified stock. The custom roms based on lineage, paranoid rom are better, but still not as good as the 820 chip phones I tested with the same roms. I don't know if it is software or hardware. I am thinking slow storage...
Rom is EUI, not EMUI.
There is no 026 dev rom
026 stock can be downgraded to 001D rom through stock recovery and then you can flash all these roms.
Anyway, this is a poll topic and you can find a better place to discuss basis stuff
I am running stock EUI 5.8.20S everything is ok, battery is fine., no notifications show though
I tried stock rom Genesys 5.9.26S and Aicp Nougat but came back to 5.8.20S for now.
Notifications can be set - google for EUI notifications problem

Hey Dakok, been following you since the coolpad f1 days on modaco. Thinking about getting this phone. Does the Google HDR+ camera mod work on the elite model?
Also, do you have any personal recommendations on a reliable rom without bugs?
Yes it does. I think that there is a modified one that works with EUI and another one for custom 7.1 roms.
I am on stock 026s EUI yet, so I can't test any but there are many reports that it works fine.
Genesys 26s by Steve Mars is the most reliable rom IMHO.
Paranoid and AICP have minor bugs, otherwise very usable.

You mean that you cannot do it because of 026s EUI? or you just didn't try to downgrade yourself yet?
I was checking for downgrading from stock 0.26 s but it's impossible finding information on the web
I found this portugese video on youtube but i dont know exactly what he is doing there, also the links people refer to from the leeco forum have been taken down..
I cached the links and i find this (click)
But still very hard to understand what they do, could someone make it more explainable how to change with X722 from
EUI version 5.9.026S (Stable) (bought like this) -> version 20s (001D)-> to finally put on Paranoid android 7.3.1 on it? Is it even possible? I really don't want to brick my phone here..
Or should I open a new topic since the other legit ones are closed..
Thanks for everybody putting effort in trying this phone to be customized!
Batyan, a guy from russian 4PDA forum got the archive with two roms.
The first one is a developer EUI rom identified as WIXCNFN5800106140D or 01D (short).
It flashes through phone stock recovery.
The other is Banggood vendor EUI rom 020s, cleaned from China stuff.
This one flashes through fastboot.
01D rom is great since it is the only way to move from stock 026s EUI since it has locked bootloader and you can't do anything to replace recovery, make root or flash another rom.
So. Put that 01D (update.zip) in your phone and flash it through stock recovery (key combination or through phone settings or manager, not sure)
Or you can start it from EUI file manager (not sure).
Now you have 01D rom, you have unlocked bootloader and you can flash any other custom rom.
My advice is to flash Genesys 026s first since it is EUI 026s and it may be good to have latest
partitions flashed. Later you can try paranoid, aicp...
Don't flash lineage 15 (oreo) since it may make some problems regarding partitions.
Use CrisBal TWRP since it seems to be the most compatible.
Here's batyan 01D topic at XDA

Thank you so very much! Great explanation! Hope this will work at my phone! Will try it soon!
Now one final question, and I'm sure many people find this question usefull : Since at this topic there are some people with brick, is this a safe way to do it or is it a chance for a brick even if I do everything correct?
Build nr is : WIXCNFN5902607031S
Thanks again dakok for the good experience, keep going this way:good::good::good::good:

The only way to "hard" brick it is to flash stock 026s through twrp.
Paranoid but a little bit hard to do it for noobs, probably.
Poll Is corrupt
If paranoid ROM is the best... Then I'm a lepracon with lepra....
Its slow as hell, typing this takes ages... When I press a letter 7 seconds late it response... When some one called me I need to press 1100000 times before this ROM gives a reaction...
Also the builder doesn't respond to my mail. So, its what it is. Just a crappy ROM.
Merry Xmas

Maybe you have any problem with your phone.I have paranoid since 08/12/2017 and I can say that it is the best rom that I have tried.Very very fast almost without any issues or bugs and It is incredible experience for the user.
Paranoid is the best for ROM to check what is the true snapdragon 820.
Stock rom no problem. Also phone get hot as hell

On my x722 is weird camera not connect, I already flashed it 3 times, no support
So I'm planning to sell my 64GB Poco F1 and it's currently bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery, magisk and running Pixel Experience rom (which is just amazing, by the way). So my question is, how do I go about going back to 100% stock stable MIUI with stock recovery snd locked bootloader? Do you guys have a guide for noobs? Thanks! I'm selling this one because I just got a Rosso red 128GB Poco F1 as a gift.
Use miflash tool to flash stable fastboot ROM file with lock and clean all option. That's it!

Should sell red one first (if it is still sealed) and use this one till next gen poco is released since it has already been teased so should be released soon enough.
Thanks for all the replies! Can't sell the red one as im already using it and the extra storage ig sooo useful. So do I flash the Pie stable Miui or go back to oreo? Do I also need to flash the vendor firmwares?
Hi everyone ,
lets start by saying, i accidentally got over my head and ****ed up big time. since my warranty is over, i am eager to try a custom rom, which is resurrection Remix and since im already at android Pie, i thought i'd follow set of instructions on https://www.getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-sony-xperia-xz1/#Steps_to_Install_Resurrection_Remix_on_Sony_Xperia_XZ1 i have managed to unlock the boot loader (that was easy) but then when i tried to flash the rom downloaded from this site https://get.resurrectionremix.com/?dir=gsi, which i used this rom in particular [system-190406-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img] the system just hanged on sony for a while... i got worried so i downloaded another one from the site which is this [ system-190406-arm64-ab-vanilla-nosu.img] then it suddenly started the TWRP loop. Because i'm unable to install the Gapps, i used this method to install them : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/fix-error-70-install-gapps-t3311779 and it does work. but it ended in a loop anyways
i decided maybe my phone isn't destined for custom, so i decide to flash the stock rom instead. i got the stock rom from XperiFirm, my model is G8342, so i downloaded that bundle as per my own cellular company.
here comes the problem: my model isn't supported in the sony mobile flasher by Androxyde... so i tried my luck and go a head with XZ premium and got this: 24/019/2019 09:19:21 - ERROR - The bundle does not match the connected device.
i searched far and wide buy my brand seems to be the lesser popular ones. so please, i need help. i give you my thanks in advance.
It is NOT THAT EASY as in the writeup. As you have experienced...
The problems you have stem from DM-Verity in the stock SONY ROMs.
Flash your DLed Stock ROM with Newflasher.
Once your blood pressure settles and you feel adventurous again adapt the writeup for Mokee in this forum.
Resurrection (if it/GSI works with touch, compass, VoLTE, ...) is a good choice.

Thank you for the advice.. i will definitely try it.

I have an Mi 10 with QJBEUVF firmware. (brand vodafone)
Where can I download this version?
Can I boot with TWRP recovery and make a full backup of the entire phone and then restore it and return to stock?
My goal is to test other ROMs but then return to stock.
Thank you.

You have operator based version of MIUI, not released. You can unlock bootloader, then flash twrp. You can use EU rom for better experience. You can lock bootloader with Global or EEA rom.
Thanks, but I knew that.
I explain to you.
I've always had Nexus and Pixel, I just don't like the Miui.
I wanted to test Pixel experience rom, and if it doesn't convince me return stock and return the phone.
I can't return it with another firmware ...

Search for the firmware on the internet and download it so it can be flashed if needed.
i have same issue here, same firmware code, so i guess the phone of the OP is a Mi 10. i cannot find to download this firmware, as like sceryavuz said, it's not relased since it's a vodafone fw.
the process to swap it's quite simple i saw, only using miflasher, and selecting clean all and lock(for locking bootloader again) but i simply want to make a full backup of this one, in case something goes wrong. (i only have this phone, and cannot risk to lose bank support, gpay or the phone at all, for work reasons).
thank you in advance for the great support here
