Hello World,
Me again. After my first attempt at porting a fully working ROM, or what I tought was fully functional in my opinion, I now ported Paranoid Android, aka the greatest custom ROM for stability, to our X722 ZL0 Elite or however you decide to call it.
You'll see that in PA, everything just works and is super smooth. Even the two simcard slots do work.
You will see that in some things the phone gets reffered to as te X720. Will fix in a later build.
I've tested this build two days and everything works, even Bluetooth calling in BMW 2017 Professional navi !!
First of all, credits where it's due:
@GalaticStryder for PA
@murat1150
@slothdnk
@MakeX722GreatAswell
@evlo
@mick_novi for starting the amazing thread in the X722 section
Bugs
None so far. You Tell me
Installation procedure
Unlock bootloader. Best to be on 26S firmware, 20S will also work.
Install TWRP recovery (I used one specificly for the X722 by @CrisBalGreece). If you use a X720 TWRP image then you'll have to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it after flashing the ROM in fastboot. Please don't be stupid and report bugs while you aren't even flashing the damn boot img...
Wipe cache, dalvik and system (f reset)
Flash my ZIP (link below from google Drive)
Flash OpenGapps package of your choice for ARM64 Android 7.1
Wipe cache
Reboot and enjoy
Please note first boot shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes !
Disclaimer: Everything you do is at your own risk. I can't be held responsible for bugs or anything that leads to consequences because of my work. If you quickcharger decides to charger your diesel car instead of your phone that's not my problem.
You can use my work for your own ROMS. In fact, I would love to so that we can boost the support for this amazing device (160EUR!).

Good!)
I am expecting my x722 from GearBest, and I am worried how will the flashing procedure go. I would also appreciate detailed, step-by-step guide with pictures since this will be my first time to flash any smartphone.
Anyway, I want to pay respect to the developers - kudos to you! :good:

Mine came bootloader unlocked. You just need to Google, a lot of tutorials here on XDA and on other websites.
Unfortunately, GearBest support has mentioned that the smartphone comes with a locked bootloader. Too bad my phone was already on its way! :cyclops:

Gearbest doesn't list the version of eUI the phone ships with, which is dumb. It probably comes with 26s, which means you'll have to flash the dev ROM and then unlock the bootloader. I think it's this one, but I'm not sure. Just do your research before trying to unlock the bootloader or flash TWRP, otherwise you'll end up with a brick. @dakok might be able to help you out.
Or maybe they just mean the bootloader in general is locked (on 20s). Many x722s from different shops come with locked bootloaders on 20s, but 20s is super easy to unlock. It's just 26s that's dangerous.

Just tested it, for me it does change the volume. I use the Google phone app, can you try that from the play store ? Make sure to set it as the default telephony app in settings else you will miss calls.
I put a google phone app and, by default, now the noise grows, but the minimum volume is all very loud
Otherwise, there are no problems with the firmware, everything works fine

Yeah I know, the lowest setting is still loud... For me it works and doesn't bother me but I didn't test it on EUI how it was.. So can't compare it.

Hey guys,
I'm just looking into options I have with the X722, and Paranoid Android seems like the best one around. I just have some quick questions.
1) How is the battery and thermal profiles? I'm now on stock EUI, and get around 6-8 SOT. I guess that SOT will be lower, but by how much? Also I intend to use the phone as a daily driver, and considering the ROM is cooked for Snapdragon 821 by default, are there any problems like overheating or battery drains? And can the battery be improved with AKT profiles for OnePlus 3 and Le Max 2, or is it pointless to try?
2) Is the ROM as stupidly fast as videos show with OnePlus 3T and Le Pro 3 non X722? Honestly, the speed looks amazing, mainly compared to EUI. I don't mind EUI that much, but wow, this looks stunning.
3) Is there any kind of OTA available?
Thanks a lot, it's great to have some options with X722.

Nougat for Ascend Mate 2 MTL203
So this post caught my eye... Is someone working on Android 7.0 for the Ascend Mate 2 or is it already out there?
SHM, a dev who brought us TWRP and a few 6.0 ROMs, is working on 7.0. Understandably, he doesn't like people asking for ETA's so he'd prefer us not to bug him.
Also, since CM officially supports our phone, won't we be getting an official CM14 as well?
shm quit development on this but released the sources

@nate5711: I think this CM14.1 runs more smooth than CM13 (official). It hasn't crashed yet; previously CM13 rebooted occasionally. The battery life is very nice also: 9-10 hours SOT, similar to CM13.
I have been using TWRP by Matt (this CM14.1 Developer) for a while, so I didn't see any problem with it (the previous version is 3.0.M5-0 released on July 19; https://android.cmphys.com/twrp-mt2/). The only thing is TimeService which led to inaccurate time in TWRP, but I always named Nandroid backup myself which is much shorter while with more information. It has been fixed as Matt stated:good:
I did make a Nandroid backup of CM13 using TWRP-3.0.M5.0 and I am sure there is no problem to switch between this CM14.1 and CM13 without loss of data. I tried both clean and dirty flash of CM14.1 (over CM13), and currently I've been running the dirty-flashed one flawlessly. I tried switch between CM14.1 and CM13 with TWRP and there's no problem at all.
Sure, as I mentioned earlier, LiveDisplay night mode doesn't work. There's no CMTE either. Otherwise everything is good on my end.
Thanks to Matt for his wonderful job! :good::good::good:
BTW, Matt has his CM13-Dec 26 nightly available to us also and he said the Camera (CM13) has been fixed. TBH, I haven't tried his CM13-20161226 yet since I am very satisfied with his CM14.1-20161225.
Dirty flashed runs fine also had to re flash gapps to get it to fully boot but other then the missing theme engine it seems way smoother then the last good build of cm 13 great work matt and thanks for keeping this phone alive

Yes, arm 7.1 GApps required even for dirty flash over CM13.
Thanks for the helpful info, dl the rom and I'm very much enjoying it..
Thank you for providing the latest build. I have installed it and seems to be working fine. Need to use it for a few days to cycle the battery to know how good is the backup.
Thank You so much for the update so far is very smooth. Is anyone else having the camera randomly popping up during a phone call? I have tried to download gapps again and reflashed still having the issue. Am i missing something in the settings?

Disable the tap to wake setting under display will stop the camera popping up.
Because LeEco official EUI did not upgrade android:laugh: 7.1 so, third-party native system have abnormal heat situation, and can not install Xpoed, so I recommend a ROM here.ROM:http://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-112.html#18

Heyyo, tbh I'd avoid custom EUI ROMs as at least some seem to be causing the camera autofocus issues for any non-EUI ROM. It definitely seems from other posts that cuco92's EUI ROM is one of them.
I'd recommend Andr68rus's builds of Dark Unicorns or OmniROM. They're stable and work fantastic and are on latest Nougat where-as EUI based ROMs are stuck on Marshmallow.
For Marshmallow ROMs? AOKP MM by Andr68rus is really good or Mokee ROM 60.1 Historical probably has the best battery life without constantly wiping your recent apps like where-as EUI overkills.

Hey mate, when you call heat is overheating?? I sense it too.
The rom goes extreeeemly smooth and with a lot of battery time, good sound etc. I've installed it through twrp along with gapps. I sense a lot of extra screen brightness coming from eui in a x820 and I want to know from you how to replace the twrp recovery eith the meizu one for doing the updates.

If you want app drawer for the launcher you can get launcher3.apk from other Tora33 rom (Le Pro3 rom) and replace it in the rom zip file (unzip and re-zip).

Nice!!! is nice to see roms for this device other than the ones that are here.
For the OP, i'm on the second day of use of this rom and this is BY FAR the best rom i've tried. The phone does not overheat, even with the screen at 100% all the time, best battery life, smooth as hell like Lineage 13 and goes well with nova launcher. The defaukt launcher is **** for me but you can change it for the one thay you like.
I will backup this rom and try the above,
I'm trying to know how can we install the original meizu recovery or how can we update the phone from OTA with 40 mb packages instead the 1.4 GB that comes daily ivee the air.

For ages I have tried to avoid rooting my phone, mainly due to Google Pay. But with the constant issues and also now that I've just purchased bPay for my watch anyway, I no longer need Google Pay.
Even though my phone is not rooted, most apps thought it was.. so even the fixes only worked so far.. so screw it. haha.
I would like to root my phone and try and make my Xiaomi as close to vanilla Android as possible. What roms would people suggest?
Is the Xiaomi a wise phone to modify? Will I loose any features (camera etc)?
I have only really ever used OnePlus One devices, and other phones I have always relied on Google Pay access, so its been awhile since I rooted a phone and I have a feeling things may have changed a fair bit.. maybe even become more simple?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
My device; Mi 8 128GB, chinese import. Arrived with unlocked bootloader and global rom.. somehow.. even though global wasnt available at the time.. have since has xiaomi.eu rom, most recent on the device. But im finding its waaay to buggy and im very eager to get rid of this.
try pixel experience
stock experience like the pixel 3 xl
almost the same camera if not better
great battery life stable and way smoother than miui 10
I was In a similar predicament
I went for havoc and find its fantastic
Similar to pixel experience but with more added features
Has gcam implemented already

Use syberia! aosp based like all but best battery so far
You can try pixel experience, I'm using it for a while now and never thought of changing to another rom. This will be my permanent rom I guess. Pixel3ROM is also nice, but it's just a port so the dev heavily refuses to add compatibility features like IR camera support for face unlock etc. So main features of the device won't work kn that one.
LineageOS is just another option, but it feels so empty compared to Pixel Experience. Yes, it can be customized but it'll never get the capabilities of Pixel Experience, due to official Rom policies of LOS.
And another thing, my device is rooted and I'm using PE, and Google Pay is working.

About camera, it hss a Google Camera port that I can't really remember the name of dev, and you can flash the miui camera port from Magisk if you need that either.
If you have any questions about this rom, I'd love to answer them, I can consider myself as an experienced user of it I guess. I used miui for 2 weeks thanks to bootloader unlock timer, and believe me, when you switch, you will feel like tons of weight just pulled out of your shoulders.
Thanks everyone this is all really helpful to know. Sounds like Pixel Experience is the one to try first.

This is really handy to know. I was thinking today that maybe rooting etc my phone myself properly would give me better control over getting that set up to work properly.
One more thing, just checking over the instructions and a little lost on some bits;
Flash Instructions
1. Download ROM zip.
2 . Advanced Wipe: System, Data, Cache and Dalvik/cache - Already have TWRP from installing Xiaomi.eu rom.
3. Flash latest MIUI or Xiaomi.eu beta. - This step confuses me.. if I already have a xiaomi.eu rom installed, I presume I would skip this?
4. Flash Pixel Experience.
5. Flash Dm-verity and reboot into TWRP (Only if you're coming from MIUI stock. Skip that if you're coming from another custom ROM) - Guessing again, I would skip this as I am already on TWRP? Unsure what dm-verity is..
6. Advanced Wipe: Data
7. Reboot & enjoy.
Some background on the current config phone wise. Imported a Mi 8 before it was released globally, nor even a date was released at that point. The phone arrived with global rom I believe.. the bootloader was already unlocked however and it was in English, so I am unsure how they had the global rom on it.. unless was the chinese one in English? Eitherway. I just followed the usual guide to flashing Xiaomi.eu on the phone. TWRP was already on it, but it is a chinese version, in english, but with chinese text on the loading screen.. unsure if normal?
Thanks again!

You can't skip the 3rd step since you're wiping the system partition, vendor and/or firmware files will be gone, which are not included with the rom.
At 5th, https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 After flashing this, reboot to recovery in order to do advanced wipe. Just follow the steps, don't be lazy!
Not sure about your phone, but there are a high chance of being a Chinese variant of your phone, check the rear glass for CE certificate logo, if there are any chinese text, your phone is a chinese variant. In this situation, be careful to not lock your bootloader.

When I got the phone there was a sticker on the back which was in Chinese, all the packaging was too. The text printed on the phones actual case is in English however.
Update: All done and all was a success. Thanks everyone!
Tried Pixel Experience - battery drain was so extreme had to flash another rom..
So now trying Havoc.. way too many bugs, no sound on alarms, phone stops responding to touch.. ergh. Battery is good though.. haha.
Looking like there may not be any rom which isnt free of bugs or battery drain on the Mi 8..
Sadly Google Pay, with Magisk and hide, does not work on any rom. Altho I managed to get another banking app to work by using Magisk hide ironically.

Yes, all great. Battery is fine, alarm works, no more freezing. Finally all running smoothly
+1 that. Everything works perfect for me on AOSIP and I've been using it as my daily driver for a week now.
I just replaced the default phone, contact and messaging apps with the Google ones with App systemizer and magisk, and replaced the stock cam with latest Gcam.
Recommend this rom :good:

Do you have a link to the latest GCam? I tried to find it though the one i installed Video didn't work. Just crashed when attempted. Photos looked good though.
LineageOS

You can try pixel experience, I'm using it for a while now and never thought of changing to another rom. This will be my permanent rom I guess. Pixel3ROM is also nice, but it's just a port so the dev heavily refuses to add compatibility features like IR camera support for face unlock etc. So main features of the device won't work kn that one.
LineageOS is just another option, but it feels so empty compared to Pixel Experience. Yes, it can be customized but it'll never get the capabilities of Pixel Experience, due to official Rom policies of LOS.
And another thing, my device is rooted and I'm using PE, and Google Pay is working.

Not everything.

About camera, it hss a Google Camera port that I can't really remember the name of dev, and you can flash the miui camera port from Magisk if you need that either.
If you have any questions about this rom, I'd love to answer them, I can consider myself as an experienced user of it I guess. I used miui for 2 weeks thanks to bootloader unlock timer, and believe me, when you switch, you will feel like tons of weight just pulled out of your shoulders.

Hi all I just got the Poco F1 a couple of days ago yay, I will hopefully be able to unlock the bootloader tonight 9pm UK time, Just wondering what is the best rom and kernel to flash/use as I will want blazingly fast and for V4A to work too ???
Cheers in advance madant2011
glad to hear but its the wrong place to post your thread it should be in Q/A. Any moderator please can you move it to its correct destination?
Anyway, short answer nothing or no one is best. One which is best for me may probably be worst for you. Its subjective. Try roms, kernels one by one and stick to the one which seems "best" for you not me.
PE and AOSIP
i'd say either any asop rom with the eu miui kernel ( i prefer PE,Linage os and nitrogen os) or just miui eu
Pixel Experience is good rom
ps sorry wrong form

pixel experience is very popular but then ofcourse no one can compete with LinageOS
however both have limited customizations
you should try
Crdroid5.6 (9aug19 is the latest (at present) ) , it has full platter to customize your rom according to yourself!
however
I am on HAVOC 2.6 because of better screen resolution and font and havoc has even deeper customizations (or better organized)
Otimus Drunk kernel , is good ( i have used twisted/arter/sphinx/ and franco)
remember, you must flash vendor image before flashing any rom in twrp or you will get bootloops
https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/ latest one is 10.3.6 (bottom most)

for me most of the vlogger who makes videos for roms touches basis only, the following things i found in almost ALL the videos
1. pubG running smooth
2. Jeo (4g) working fine
3. benchmarks
4. android version
5. you can make calls with no sound problems
however vloggers are more keen to make another video rather than use the rom on deeper level and find bugs
for examples
1. poco f1 ALL CUSTOM roms on 3g USB THETHERING start giving setting carshing, com.android.phone crashing errors where data used goes 1TB in 10 seconds... and System UI begins restarting itself! , network connections gets hung or delayed and you cannot go back to sim settings since com.android.phone keeps crashing as you click your sim setting icon...
now ? who's responsiblity is to test it? ofcourse as user if you are making video atleast test this problem and try to find solution (if not atleast warn the viewers)
2. also pocof1 cannot be mend for mixer path files for volume boost! but no video mentions about it
3. vendor image is required,,, NO video ever said this , i found it in some xyz forum by some member
4. same goes for redmi note 5 pro issues where screen goes off when listening to voice msg! and comes back on after 3 seconds! i changed 2 rn5p on 5-6 roms , all same! but no vide ever mentioned that!
in short! its always best to get opinion from xda forum members (or equivalent)
Why is this thread still hanging around here ? I request @Lupin The Third to please move this thread to the Q&A section.

You probably need to report it.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to do that via the XDA app...
Moved.

I have asked for it to be removed and I've reported it too as im all sorted now :fingers-crossed:
First, I am not responsible to what happens after you flash this. If your phone dose not work afterwords it is your own doing. I didn't force you to flash it..
This is a stock rom for the most part for the Snapdragon Note 20 Ultra U1 that I use as my daily driver. I disabled file encryption, removed knox, fixed screen cast and shealth plus Bluetooth and smartwatch pairing. Most of the Google apps are uninstallable. I'll try to keep this up to date every month the best I can. Enjoy.
You Must Have A Unlocked Bootloader and a SM-N986 U1 or U Ultra to proceed.This Might Wipe Your Data!! Make a Back up!!.
Instructions:
1: Flash with Odin in the respective slots (bl, ap, cp and csc).
2: Wipe and format data in recovery if coming from a different rom or android version.
3: Reboot and set it up.
Enjoy.
See this thread or this thread if you need a unlock. The teams there are great!
Built With SuperR's Kitchen
Thanks @afaneh92 for the unlock and TWRP
Thanks @bklyn_syed for sharing the fixes for Bluetooth and shealth.

Thanks I built it last night.
Anyone who downloaded this before this post please re-download the rom. I had a file mixed up with another rom by mistake, sorry. New files are uploading now. Please report any problems you may have if any, Thanks.
I uploaded some a new build that addresses the game launcher crash and theme store crash.
@Misterxtc Very glad to see more custom roms being built.
Would you be able to build an AOSP rom for the Note 20 Ultra (SM-986U)?
Would love to see an AOSP rom like Lineage OS or Havoc OS

Me too but I haven't gotten one to boot properly yet. I also own a S20+ and would like to build something for both. I am exploring the options.

I don't think so but I'm really not sure, I haven't looked into it. The big deal for me is downloading more firmware, keeping track of more files, storage space and time. Honestly it's pretty simple to build your own. You can get all the info you need for that here .
@Misterxtc, what is your preferred method for root access?

I was sitting here debating on whether to go with 10 or 11 lol. Durrr me...I'm all for a custom cleaned up ROM any day over the untouched stock firmware. I see that your ROM is on the latest 11 (CUA1). Nice!
Since your tweaking the universal U1 firmware and since there isn't any carrier bloatware in there, is there much to really remove to make it even more lean and lighter? I know in the old days those firmware's were loaded with bloat and by removing them helped it a lot.
I also noticed that the latest 11 file size was smaller than the latest 10. From what you can see is that from just making 11 more efficient, thus making it lighter?
Regarding the change log:
Disabled File Encryption - Is that for the entire device file encryption or the built in folder encryption that was disabled? What are the benefits from disabling this? Does it just make it smoother even if you don't use the encryption feature on the device?
Removed Knox - Does using a smart watch to use Samsung Pay etc... still a work around even with the device knox removed?
Are there any settings to be able to tweak camera settings to improve the camera? iirc back in the Note 3 and 4 days, a Dev said that there was a value in the image quality or something that was set to I think 8 instead of the max 10? He had maxed that out and included that in the ROM... I'm curious if such adjustments exist in the 11?
Does the CUA1 have the baked in Microsoft Swiftkey (VIRUS) or is that only on carrier firmware's?
I have the Unlocked varaint of the Note 20 Ultra straight from Samsung. Oddly, it came with firmware ATGO, which is ATT lol.. but I'm on TM. What has been annoying is that I can't uninstall the darn microsoft swiftkey.
I love Swiftkey as a keyboard (best touch accuracy IMO), but despise the intrusivemness, so I like to use my own tweaked swiftkey with the internet premissions removed w/ using AFWall+ to block everything else. ie...
The thing is that I haven't been able to install the tweaked swiftkey due to it not letting me since the stock MS one is baked in...
