You have to unlock bootloader first..it will take 72 hours..enough time to catch up on all ota updates..
PE is in early stages so yes expect a few bugs but still its a daily driver so go for it..
Yes gcaM works but video recording is nt working in PE Q as of now..
No PE is best right now..
Tutorial of bootloader unlocking is present in detail at xda

these question are your fears you are thinking loud!
every rom (stock or custom) has bugs! and you know that!
the only thing which i will answer here (which you didn't ask btw) is follow the flashing process properly to avoid bricking your phone!
after every vendor image, do flash DFE in order to avoid encryption error otherwise you will have to format everything. Make sure not to change the filesystem from ext4 UNLESS your kernel and rom support or you will be locked out (format data)
for unlocking , follow xiaomi website and request unlock powers to your Xiaomi account. you should be running Developer rom (at least this is how I unlocked it)
First I want you to know the cons of unlocking your bootloader:
Data can be accessed by people if your phone is stolen (don't flash disabled encryption to encrypt your data)
In some cases manufacturers void the warranty of phones
Unofficial roms can have spyware in them do only go for official builds of lineage, pixel experience or any trusted rom....
Note: Start reading up on XDA regularly to check out new ROMs and kernels. It helps one decide on whether they want to take this step forward...
But those who do don't regret it cause this leads to opening up a whole new world....and in some cases people become android developers due to their love for the amount of resources on XDA and the supportive community that is there on XDA

ONCE
- Boot is unlocked and
- you are running Rooted ROM
TECHNICALLY its HACKERS HEAVEN!
anyone who gets hold of your device can not only steal the hardware but your personal data too
in ROOTED fone hackers may find vulnerabilities in SeLINEX (specially on permissive mode) and can take hold of your device!
yes if you keep your internal storage Encrypted! chances are who ever takes hold of your device cannot access your data! however Vendor/Firmare 10.3.8 is not supported YET by many roms and if you flash this vendor and flash custom rom! it won't able to access the internal storage (Like LineAge) and it will keep rebooting!
also if you flash older stable vendor firmare 9.6.27-9.0, and don't flash DFE, & later come back and try different custom rom! you will LOCK yourself out from internal storage and ALL the date will be WIPED! basically vendor treats YOU also as intruder if you change roms!
- I swapped between Havoc and Crdroid with vendors and EVOLUTIONX and had to either FORMAT data for vendor to encrypt Internal storage with new Hash or my device kept bootlooping
summing up,
- even if you DON"T flash DFE and have ROOTED custom rom, hackers CAN still find loopholes in Anrdoid and have access!
- LineAge, Crdroid, Mokee has some sort of security Options ON/OFF which can be found in settings! you may try that! but then if fone is rooted! you are vulnerable

I wanted to ask, witch Roms are stable and support all features of Kenzo.
It seems that in several Roms there are different Problems,
from wakelocks and Battery drain,
over Wifi Problems
to missing Fingerprint or VolTE support.
Is it a Problem with Android 6.0 or also with 5.1 based Roms?
This should be in the Questions & Answers section. However, I have official CM 13.0 and I haven't encountered any of the problems that you mentioned above. If you read instructions carefully and understand what you're doing, you won't have any trouble as long as the rom you are flashing supports those features. If you head over to the Android Development section, you can see the features that each rom does and doesn't support. If the OP says it is supported but you can't get it to work, then the problem comes from your side. Before flashing make sure you have read and understood the required steps and have taken all the necessary precautions to avoid ending up with a "bricked" device. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks for your reply,
yes i know what im doing (had Nexus 4 and flashed it more than a hundred times).
I normally check first post (+ following from OP) and the last sites of the Thread to see if there are bugs or not (cause "no bugs" in OP-Thread is not always correct).
But if CM13 is, so far, bug free and full featured (fingerprint and so on) than i will give it a try.

It is. I've been using it for almost 1 month now, and I can say it's probably the most stable and complete rom for me. I also flashed the CM 13.0 supported firmware along with Radon Kernel and the device is blazing fast. As for the battery, I can get 1 week+ with minimal usage, and about 2-3 days with heavy usage which is pretty impressive for a hexa-core device with a 1080p screen.

I was wondering about this "firmware" thing, never had to upgrade any software. Normaly just flash the Rom.
I was also wondering what's the difference to the unofficial CM13

Well, if you are going to flash this rom you are going to have to flash the appropriate firmware too, since CM is based on it. If you flash the rom without flashing the firmware, you might end up with missing options in settings (I tried this and the "fingerprints" tab was missing). As soon as I flashed the firmware everything got fixed. Also, an official rom means that it is developed by a member or a group of members that have created the original project, while unofficial roms can be built by anyone. For example I can take a CM build and customize it the way i want and then release it to the public. This makes it an unofficial rom, since I'm not a member of the CM development team. But if a rom or an update releases on the CM website, then it is considered to be official.
By the way about the VoLTE support, quoting from OP Q&A:
Q) Is VoLTE supported? (Also useful if you have GApps related problems).
A) No. We use all proprietary blobs from MIUI Marshmallow alpha 'leaked' builds and those builds itself do not have it working. So we'll have to wait until Xiaomi fixes it in their marshmallow builds in future. Also we can't fallback to old LP radio blobs/libs and are not suited with current setup. #blamexiaomi

I guess you'll have to wait for Xiaomi to release a stable working MM build if you want voLTE support. :/
Hello everyone
My plan was to get dual boot on my z5c using "multirom": the first would be the stock rom (Nougat), the other one was the aosp rom built by Sony itself, in order to unlock some feature like raw capture and long exposures, that seems possible with aosp based roms and "Freedcam" (look for defcomg developer).
Do you think it's possible to mix these two roms with multirom?
What I'm supposed to do is
-Backup the TA partition
-Unlock the bootloader
-Root with dirtycow exploit (does it work with Nougat, doesn't it? Is there a way to get multirom without unlocking the bootloader?)
-Install multirom
-Flash the roms
It this right? Am I missing something, or is there something I must particularly care about? I wouldn't want to brick my phone, and I'm not too experienced, but I think I can follow instructions. Thank for your attention
Got it to work?
I know, this is an old thread, ok.
But ... did you get it to work?
Since everyone kept asking and I myself wanted it, I decided to start this project. The main reason why I didn't do it earlier was because I needed Asus to release the Oreo build already so I could get the required files. So for now I leave you with this, hope I made your day a bit better and have a great day!
Note: the build you see here is just so I could get the compiler working.
Sweet!! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this.
Nice. Do you think the build will have camera quality issues though?

We'll see once I get a debuggable build running. I hope it's smooth sailing, but I can't guarantee anything.
First build?
Is this the first build?
If you want tester I am always available.

Nice to hear that you want to test the rom, but unfortunately I still don't have a flashable build. I try to work on it whenever I can to get one out as soon as possible. Do keep in mind I do this in my free time when I'm not busy with school. When I do get a debuggable build out, I'll let this forum know so I can get some testers to test it out (other than myself).
+)KEV1N(+ you are a savior , please help us get rid this sick twisted ASUS stock firmware , it's a mess in every aspect , heat, poor battery life, muffled sound via headphones, enormous amount of services running in the background (loses 20% overnight), complete failure in both firmware and kernel wise cause they massively overclocked that S625 , i can live with a rom without the main camera app , OpenCam will do just fine , just take care of that power consumption please cause on paper it should deliver 12-16h SOT , it's 5000mah with s625 and AMOLED screen for god sake !
Thank you in advance for your effort.
Kevin,
Thanks so much for taking on this project!
Not many have the skills or time to do a project like this. I think I can speak for all Z3Z owners when I say that your work will not go unappreciated.
I am simply observing the work of the gentlemen, let us continue in this to create a lineage.

It is a slow process, especially since this is my daily driver. I just came back from holidays back home and now I'll continue to work on it whenever I get the chance. I'll get a working test build running eventually. Can't guarantee when, just know that as a new developer it'll take time to fix things and put them in place since porting is also not easiest of projects.
I visit this thread multiple times a day, it gives me hope)
Thank u Sir
I'm grateful that you are working on this project.
Take your time & carry on.
I want do downgrade form Oreo to MM, Q: will i need to extract recovery.img form MM zip and flash it separately or the stock Oreo recovery will work with all raw asus builds ?
Build# : ww-11.41.87.2 this is the latest MM update before Nougat update, i'm a little confused cause every build has it's own method so any advice for the safest fastest way to :
1-Downgrade to MM from Oreo
2-Flash Magisk to root and install greenify , viper4android cause i'm done with this Oreo.
3-Do i need to unlock the bootloader ?
4-Do i need twrp to flash migisk?
5-Does twrp work with all versions of android ?
3-What are the cons of this procedure if a custom ROM would fall from heaven and i would want to flash it after i flash MM?

I started at the end of my school year a couple of months back. I had a month-long hiatus in July due to me going back to my family back home. I came back in August and am working on it as a side project. Naman's helping me with this right now and so far we got till the boot animation. And then you have those times when we fix something and you go one step back. It's a slow process since the two of us aren't like 24/7 busy on the project. I usually work on it during weekends, but lately I've been needing my phone more and more since I'm very very busy with other priorities. Again, this is a side project I'm doing because I like coding and I like learning new things. So, I can't say for certainty when we can get a release out, but I work eagerly every time hoping it gets past the boot animation or even gets there if I fix something.
I hope this clears out any misconceptions you may have of me and this project. Have a further great day sir
It's nice to hear from you.
That's d very reason I visit this thread.
Keep ur good work going.
Keep us updating.
All d best
Hello mate, you know the whole world is waiting for this build from xda to 4pda to every other android community so what's the news my friend? can you post the bugs maybe we can help with some of them and learn about the Lineage route you chose.
The midterm examination is about to start and you'll be too busy with the study!
My full appreciation to your work.

There is a developer who is willing to port lineage if people will crowdfund the purchase of a Z3Z for them.

Hello,
It's been a while I update myself about what's going on here. Please I would like to do full custom ROM installation on my 3 years old pocophone F1. I would to know step by step to follow. I am on stock ROM MIUI global 12.0.3 stable. And I haven't done anything on the phone as regarding to development area.
Please where do I start from if I want to run custom ROM on the phone with necessary things that won't make me regrets my actions?
Thanks all in anticipation.
Please let me know where to start from? I don't want to do what I know nothing about.
crDroid is an excellent choice. In my other devices I regularly change ROMs but in F1 it's been crDroid pretty much exclusively other than a brief dalliance with a few others in the beginning. Since you are on the latest MIUI, after unlocking bootloader, which wipes all data, you need to first flash the recovery of your choice, TWRP or Orangefox etc. Once that is done just need to flash the crDroid ROM zip which includes the Vendor and Firmware. If you are new to custom ROMs better to start with the crDroid 7.15 which is the final A11 build. A12 builds are pretty stable but several features are missing compared to it's predecessor which will be added in the coming months. A12 installation is a bit convoluted for now as the recoveries haven't been updated to handle it yet. A11 builds don't come encrypted by default.
I picked up one of these bad boys on a pretty deep discount to use as a dedicated retro gaming device. I’m interesting in tinkering a bit and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on a good rom choice for my use case ? I’ve already gotten my unlock code and I’m pretty much ready to go at this point !
Most people say CorvusOS and EvolutionX are good gaming ROMs, they both seem to be fast. Some people talk about some sort of ROG gaming rom, though ive never heard of it, or tried it.
But, uhm... upon looking at this devices page.. there aren't ANY custom roms available for your device.
Wow really? That's unfortunate.
Is there any point to Unlocking and installing TWRP / Rooting my device then?

I fiundbthat this is a device good for being your experimental toy-around gadget for tweaks and other such root related changes fun to play around with what you can do but from what I know so uncommonly rooted or used by devs that have any influence on the releases of these roms to really give you the full experience of having a rooted device.

You can root it for kernel optimisations and debloating, while also giving you more customisation control over your device.
TWRP is available, so rooting should be possible with magisk.
