Hey all,
I've just ordered a Le Max 2 from some mob in China. When it arrives in 2021 I hope to install a clean Oreo rom.
The problem is I'm new to all this jazz. I can follow a walkthrough successfully, and without killing the cat etc, but I don't know which walkthrough/guide to follow!
Is there a stock Oreo rom for the Le Max 2? Is 'stock' the right word here? I mean from Android/Google.
If not, is the Lineage rom ok?
I just want a clean phone, no crap installed, higher version of Android the better.
Also, I noticed a firmware page. Do I have to update my firmware first? Or after Rom installs?
thanks all

Hey. Welcome to the group.
There's no stock ROM for Oreo. We only have EUI 5.8/5.9 (Marshmallow). Lineage is okay, but as of now Oreo custom ROMs have bugs. One is low mic volume in calls, another is that you can't use Slow Motion Mode in modded GCam. In a new Oreo Custom ROM (Dirty Unicorn) it has GPS and Fingerprint bug, not sure about low mic volume but the Slow Motion Mode bug is still there (because of OSS HALs)
I suggest you flash Nougat if you want minimal bugs.
I think Marshmallow custom ROMs have no bugs at all (someone confirm) but the security patch is old.
You don't have to be on latest stock ROM, just flash the latest TWRP and start flashing ROMs.
Good luck!

Use google my friend flashing roms and learning about adb and fastboot is quite fun (well for me it is ). It's quite straight forward, you just need to have the proper software and drivers.
Lineage rom is good, it's updated quite frequently and most of the time has minimal bugs. go with nougat as my colleague suggested. Also i think it's ok to stay with just stock firmware Eui is quite nice i guys.
Just remember to backup everything and save it in a safe place before trying something for the first time If you are afraid of doing something and want a quick answer you can PM me, i will try to answer asap

What I can say from my personal experience. First, stock EUi is a crap. Also, abandoned, since LeEco company does not exist anymore. Second, 7.1 or 8.1? I would recommend Lineage 15.1 (Oreo 8.1). It's most stable for me. I found any other rom based on Lineage more buggy than stock Lineage 14.1 is stable too, but why to choose older Android?
Install procedure is pretty easy. You need to unlock bootloader, flash twrp, then flash rom + gapps, that's all.
BTW as you can see, there may be many opinions. But it's not risky to test various custom roms and choose the one that is the best for you. Don't hestitate to try many roms, it's not a pain at all. Actually, it's a fun.
So, I've tried the latest v90/v88.2/v88.1/v89 and flashed the olt verify zip. But I'm just keep getting stuck in bootloop. I'm on MIUI 9.5.2.0 NEGCNFA(China) Nougat.
Is there anyway to get Xposed to work? I've dug around the forums for resources, but none of them seem to work. Any possible resources for me to try out? Thanks for any help in advance.
P.S: I do have the latest Magisk installed, which means I have full root over my device.
I was wondering if anyone had a workaround to bring TWRP and the most stable version of Lineage OS 15.1 to the Asus Zenfone V520KL (don't get it confused with the V500KL)? I tried the following websites, but they keep asking me for stupid surveys!
https://topadsi.com/how-to-unlock-b...stom-recovery-and-root-asus-zenfone-v-v520kl/
https://qitapso.com/how-to-install-twrp-custom-recovery-on-asus-zenfone-v-v520kl/
http://cbrandro.science/read/androi...e-v-v520kl_to-android-oreo-8-simple-step.html
And the Autoroot tools APK was no help either. I did what was asked in one of the apps, but it didn't let me in to discover TWRP and the Lineage OS ROM.
Can someone provide me with a workaround to get TWRP and a stable Lineage OS for my Asus Zenfone V520KL? Thanks.

I just bought this phone as well, it would be nice to have TWRP and Xposed on it. But I still cant find a way to do it.
Just Pick it up too, I haven't looked too far yet. For the ZE520KL they use a bootloader unlock tool
I just saw this phone it was going very cheap for a S820 device, but I had to held back because of laggy Zen UI although build was great its like a glass sandwiched HTC 10
I have been looking for the instructions for upgrading my Tab 4 to either Marshmallow or Nougat. I have found so much information it is mind boggling. My problem is , all the links to the files are gone or there are no instructions.
My Samsung Tab 4 (SM-T530NU) is rooted on Android 5.0.2 with TWRP 3.0 for a recovery. Does anyone know where I can find the proper instructions and files to this update? I dont know which would run better on my Tab, Marshmallow or Nougat ?
But I am open to advise and suggestions.
Thank you for your time,
Scotty
I did find a Unofficial Marshmallow 6.0 ROM but every time I try to fash it with TWRP, I get ERROR:7. Anyone ever run across that problem or have a fix for that ?
I too am looking to upgrade my SM-T530NU to Marshmellow...did you get any success?
No, I never got any happiness either. I an in the same boat as you are.
Did you try the rom in this post?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ta...35-updated-t3839260/post78269783#post78269783
No, I did not, sounded like to many problems not worked out at that time. Hope that helps
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery - use my twrp
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Magisk (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and Magisk

Thanks
Thanks to Samsung
How are you friend Valera! ?? First of all I appreciate this new port of samsung oreo. It is much better than the previous one due to the fact that it is from tablet to tablet. I installed it 2 hours ago and everything is wonderful, I'm probably my daily driver from now on. I will comment on bugs that I have found, some already mentioned in the OP. Camera does not work
- processing error when starting samsung account session
- blue filter
- gps seems to work
- I have a book cover and the screen does not turn on or off with the magnet
this is all for the moment, while I will continue watching a series in netflix with chromecast that works well in this rom, also the smart view. Thank you! It is a huge job!
Great ... I'm waiting port for t585 version. Good day!
which branch do you use ?? the TouchWiz-8.0? also if the book cover feature isn't working, i saw that the feature isn't enabled in your defcon.
Good morning!
I continue with this rom and it goes very well, but I have found one more problem and that is that the bluetooth is not activated.
Thank you very much for your great work!
Thanks man!!! Btw, can you add navbar? I reqlly would like to see ìt on a touchwizz rom for the tab a??
Nice work Valera. Waiting for t585 version hope you will fix camera also :good:
Hi all
Added port for lte version too.
Also I added small patch - I had remove encrypt data\sdcard, it's really annoying for me - I need backup\restore firmware, because I often back to los 15\16 and then back to port.

Yes, kernel the same, as for port before.
I'll check cover, may be not today, havn't time at all right now, on weekend I'm sure will be a version.
silly request, a link to your twrp please. I have twrp 3.1.1 on my T585 now, will it work ok?

should be enough
Today there was a new stock 8.1 firmware for the P580 (same as our but with s-pen). This is our related tablet with same hardware. As result now we have ideal fully worked port. Right now for T580 only, soon I'll finish it for T585.
This is good, and I hope soon we will get original stock firmware too.
Another great news... btw spen futures can be removed? Because it is unuseful for T585.
On Sammobile you can download original 8.1 FW for p580, p585.

I am struggling to get the ROM working on my p580. With Odin it works but when I make a flash able zip with superr kitchen it stuck at the boot screen. Also the twrp isn't working. How do you got your twrp working on Oreo ?

Oh Valera! why do you do it? LOL
Just kidding! You make me after a tired day of studies in the middle of the night I put to flash my tablet! Hahaha
The port from the Tab P580 must surely go even better, so I'll download it right away, thank you very much for all your great work!
And apparently the official rom oreo for our Tab A T580 / 585 will be launched soon, or so we hope. Maybe this will help future development.
Thank you very much Valera!

It's getting exciting!!
Of course, rom flashed on my tab T580, this version of the P580 works great, I did not find a single error. Thank you very much for this great work.
It is very fast, there is more ram available with respect to nougat, I really love it, new daily driver!
Greetings Valera and thanks for everything
The first problem that is detected so far is that the bluetooth is not activated
Yeah, bluetooth won't turn on in the P580 port.
Waiting for lte version
