Dear all,
Has anybody so far successfully installed an Android Rom on the Meizu MX3?
Any hint would be mostly appreciated!
I could not find anything via Google or forum search...
Cheers
Julian
I realize this is reviving an old-ish thread, but I too am interested in any info regarding the above.
Due to high pricing, the MX3 is a possible option for me soon.
Hey iSilence,
I have not made any progress so far on the issue. However, I managed to install the Google Playstore and thereby got most of the relevant software related functions I need on the MEIZU.
Would still prefer a nice Android on that machine.
Cheers

From what I've found out till now, the issue with Meizu is that the bootloader is locked.
The furthest people have gotten was to install MIUI on the MX2, and there are a few fixes/mods for the MX3.
MIUI may be possible on the MX3, the device is still pretty fresh so there's hope.
I don't know about stock Android though. One can hope.
I bought one of these and would like to know what it might be equivalent to.

I am considering some modifications and want to know if a TWRP recovery and alternate roms exist.

I am also in search of any alternate rom for this Videostrong's KIII TV-Box as I am waiting to receive the device I had just ordered.
Have a look at Abdul_pt's TWRP for Amlogic devices: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/amlogic-based-tv-players/16228-twrp-for-amlogic-devices. There seems to be confirmations for K1 Plus and K2 but no mentions of K3.
So far, there aren't any discussions on this device that I could find. I would appreciate it if you could provide your experiences and impressions using this 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
Dear Friends
I have bought a Huawei Mediapad T8 and I am trying to find a custom ROM to flash it. Unfortunately there is nothing on Cyanogenmod site.
If anyone has any reference site where I can find ROM s for this model please share it with me.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
Mediapad T8 has android 10 - so it can be part of Project Treble since it is 8+ - it means, you can flash GSI (generic system image) of many of custom roms and no need for certain full rom.
But, I guess, you will need to unlock bootloader and got permissive kernel and probably need to remove encryption for user data before got bootable custom rom.

Dear Friend
Thank you very much for replying to my thread. I admit that it is the first time that I heard about GSI (Generic System Image). I am looking for a custom rom so I can use the Play Store that is now missing from most Huawei devices. Unlocking bootloader is not so hard , I can get the code from Huawei in 7 months from now. Dealing with the GSI is something that I can not manage to be honest. I will wait for a custom rom. Thanx again.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Actually there are more than 10 Custom ROMs available:

Dear Friend
Thank you for the link. Which one is for Huawei Matepad T8? I can't find anything.
Please help

@coa00kt
Take note that any Android OS ( Stock ROM and/or Custom ROM ) you intend to install isn't device's model/brand dependant, but on device's CPU architecture. Almost all Android device's are powered by an ARM CPU.
Dear Friend
I am a noobie. Which ROM do you suggest for Mediatek MT8768 chipset (Octa-core 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.50 GHz Cortex A53)?
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Can't recommend any because I never used a Custom ROM: I have reasons for this.
Dear Friends
The main reason that I am looking a custom ROM is the advantage of using "Play Store". Otherwise Huawei Android 10 is just fine. Please help me find something that will work 100%. Otherwise I will stay with Huawei Android 10.
Thanx again

Dear friend,
In the meanwhile you can use GPStore alternatives like Aurora store or ApkPure or ApkMirror for apps that can not be found on Huawei's AppGallery.
On the other hand, you can install about 8 to 10 apps from Huawei phone/tablet (before US sticky fingers) in the form of backup and restore them to your tablet. Tutorial like this is simmilar for all phones. Also found some backup on GDrive for HiSuite or usb restore.

Hello Friend
I have installed APKPure , it is very usefull. About 80% percent of the applications are running fine. Unfortunately about 20% require the Google Play Services. I will stick to this solution until Huawei provides me the Bootloader Code (After 12 Months) and a custom rom is created .
Sincerely

Hi
You can just flash GApps pico. It installs Play Store and Google Service.
Do you know if Google apps pico require an unlocked bootloader? What is the process? Do I have to install custom recovery?
Hello.
Please, can someone extract the original apk from the notes and post here? I accidentally deleted mine and now I can't find it. Thanks.
Hi there, i managed to install a google account and a working playstore via this youtube tutorial, and google services is working outside of an irritating notification which you can turn off.

The only thing is i don't know if i can upgrade firmware with out losing google apps again i'm on firmware 10.0.1
How to unlock the bootloader?

i wouldnt recommend installing a custom rom that is not specifically for your device, especially if you are a noobie. the devices appart from the SOC have many components that require specific drivers. in any case, you have to be extra carefull in following the instructions otherwise ou ll end up with a brick. your best bet is to find a recovery (again for your device) and flash open gapps.

But huawei doesn't provide bootloader unlock codes anymore
Is it possible to root Matepad T8 ?
I think you no longer need Custom ROM to use GApps into this device. I have bought this device few days ago and found a way to run GApps. Just open Huawei AppGallery and look for "GSpace", it will solve GApps issue.
Hi, I recently purchased this phone and was wondering after being any ROMs which supported the phone and if there were any tutorial for rooting the phone.
@yeezt That may be what you need! I will try that myself at a later stage, if you do before, please let me know how well it works, having the full "Pixel experience" seems nice
Apparently, the listed Github repo piggybacks on https://download.pixelexperience.org/, and brings them to devices like this one.
