Does anyone know of any ROMs, Official or Unofficial, for the "ZTE Avid Plus Z828," completed or in the works? I have this phone that was given to me, because a relative changed carriers. I am presently using it as a wifi device. It has better specs then my activated phone, a "Moto E 1st gen," and I would like to replace it, with the Avid, but the Avid has Marshmallow, and my Moto E has Lineage OS Nougat. If there is none, may I suggest it somewhere?

Well, I think I am too late in the party...
I rooted my avid Plus a while back and it got somewhat messed up....
I am currently trying to compile CM-12.1 and Lineage 14.1 (if cm-12.1 works) for this device along with TWRP to try and see if I can revive my phone and yours too! I'm thinking about flashing TWRP through Download mode or Emergency Download Mode using the QWIL program. I have the original frimware file but I have not tried yet. Maybe just replace the original recovery.img with thw TWRP idk.....

Hello!
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to android development, but since BLUBOO pulled their Android 6.0 update for their 5.1 Picasso 3G phone, I was wondering if a port would be at all possible? I found many guides on the internet but I've bricked a few phones in the past and thought I would ask to see if anyone else has tried/achieved this at all.
I found a ROM that the Picasso 4G uses that is a 6.0 rom - Would this be okay to port or am I going to overwrite the bootloader or whatever I did to my last phone and have another brick to add to my collection, lol?

I know, this thread might be dead for a long time, but since I stumbled upon this thread in order to resurrect my good ol' Picasso, there might be people finding this interesting:
on 4pda, there can be found some custom roms for the Bluboo Picasso 3g. There is also a 6.0-Rom.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=711170&st=12120#entry67242059 (I use chrome for website translation)
hello, I bring you a mini tutorial to recover this mobile. In the file is the tutorial in text format, both in English and Spanish.inside the zip is the rom stock with android 6 for this model, it is installed with sp flash tool.
added installation of twrp with android 6.0 (rom bravis), and custom rom 7.1.2 crDroid.
This custom rom is amazing and has many customization options and the system is rooted by default.

"I would like to add that the work is not mine, all the credits and thanks to the guys at the 4pda Russian forum. I'm just sharing it because this was picking up dust in the cloud".
Any chance somebody can share sources for this phone? I am trying to build a fresh ROM for the phone.
bernavaldiesel1, thanks a million man, I've been looking for the working twrp for ages
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.
Hi all,
I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch. Someone suggested I try the OpenKirin Rom and that is how I got that specific ROM on my device.
I was wondering are there maybe other ROMS for this device? Like the one's mentioned in the article below?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/best-custom-rom-huawei-p20-lite/
It took me a long while to get everything running on this device, Magisk and EdXposed. So I just don't want to go and wipe my OS just to try 4 ROMS that does not work. Sure you have app backup for that but it would mean doing everything over almost on the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I am rather new to custom ROMS so please bear with me!

There is nothing like perfect Custom ROM. It is highly dependent upon the requirement of the user and his likes/dislikes. Every ROM has its importance and downsides. You can try flashing multiple ROMs to find the ROM which is suitable and best for you. There is no Custom ROM that is 100% bug free (it depends, among other things, on model, FW built number etc. etc.).
If you don’t prefer EMUI,* choose Havoc OS , AOSP Extended or LineageOS.
If you "hate" Google and Google's bloatware (like me ) only, you can simply rebrand your phone to chinese Nova 3e (among other things, better battery life, lower data consumption etc.)
Or, choose Custom ROM based on Stock with KangVip settings ( to get away from GAPPS) , stable enough to be used as your daily driver.
Availability of custom ROMs for Kirin devices is scarce.

Hi,
No i have not tried one of the recommended in that list i provided. It took me a very long time to get the phone unlocked! Then more bricks, soft and hard through the process :crying:
Magisk was not as hard to install but EdXposed was, and I also got my device stuck on a boot loop trying to get EdXposed to run. So yeah I took me a while to get it working.

If I currently have LineageOS 16 (Aug 2020 ver) can I use the AB partition? I presume so because the Android version currently is 9. I am looking to try HavocOS.
Thank you Alf man you have helped me a lot with all my questions!

AB or A-only depend on EMUI version : 9.1 = AB, 8.0 = A-only.

Don't bother trying any one of those ROMs listed in that post. I wasted a whole day trying to flash a ROM specified by that website. Look specifically for ROMs on XDA website.
I get more help here, and it has been tested already on our devices.

Hey Everyone,
I am pretty new to this and have been looking at getting a Moto G Power as my first phone to root/load a custom ROM on to. I had previously tried this with a Moto G Fast, but the phone was broken and did not allow for USB device detection, so I figured I may as well do a little upgrade and try again with the Moto G Power. Does anyone have any suggestions for custom ROMs? Or does anyone have suggestions on a different Motorola phone for a beginner (from what I understand unlocking the bootloader is the same on every Moto phone)? Also, any advice in general is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time!

This (XT2041-4, US model) is my first Motorola device, so learning the 'unlock bootloader' method was new to me, having used Samsung tablets, but it is clearly explained in thus forum and was relatively painless. Not as easy as with my Samsung devices, i.e. had to get a code from Motorola.
I went with Resurrection Remix because I've used RR for my tablet in the past, and I knew it had a lot if customization options—I was not disappointed. I'm so pleased with it that I haven't even rooted; first device out if 10 or so that I haven't rooted.

How come you opted to not root the device? Also, I've been doing some digging on these forums and I think I may go with the Lineage 17.1 unofficial ROM. However, I am open to other options.

I'm satisfied (hell, I'm actually overjoyed) with the customization provided by RR. My current use case (phone/text/browse), doesn't call for my usual over-the-top privacy efforts; i.e. XprivacyLua (which requires Ed/Xposed, MyAndroid Tools, et. al.
5 years ago when i got Moto g5 plus. its community was very proactive in terms of ROMs and stuff, but that is not the case here with edge 30 pro, is it beacuse the phone is not that popular or its new? coz i am thinking of getting this or the upcoming moto frontier but since moto only supports the device for 2 years, i want to root my phone and install a custom ROM on it. does anyone know if the custom ROMs will be availabe for it anytime soon, and also if anyone can make a tutorial about rooting the phone, that will be very helpful. Thanks
The phone is new, not that popular, and motorola doesnt make it easy for custom roms either. We can probably count on some more popular ROMs like LineageOS as more people get the phone and demand rises.

thank you, but i dont think lineage OS will be better than the stock moto UI, i still love my moto g5 plus due to its support. Motorola should either provide atleast 3 years of supoprt or make the unlocking and installing TWRP easier. also one more thing i didnt saw TWRP installation in the provided link is it due to Motorola being more strict??

TWRP itself is on the decline since Android 10. Magisk-patching boot manually has become the more universal rooting method.
