Which custom rom would you guys recommend on the X722 if choosing between
-LINEAGE 14.1
-PARANOID ANDROID 7.3
-GENESYS 26S
-FULL AROMA 20S
I am using stock EMUI now 26S and it's driving me crazy with play store keeps errorring and restarting and the stupid browser. Also i think it uses a lot of RAM.
Let me know what you think
If you're using stock 26s on the x722, are you sure you'll be able to flash another ROM without issue? Doesn't the stock 26s ROM lock the bootloader down, causing a brick the moment you try to flash any file from stock recovery (TWRP or ROM)? Or are you running the developer version of 26s? I heard the developer version doesn't lock the bootloader down but I'm not 100% sure. All I do know is that quite a few people here have tried flashing stuff over 26s, which has resulted in near-permanent bricks (see the brick thread in this sub-forum). Please correct me if I'm wrong
As for the Play Store errors, not sure why you're getting those. Did you install the Play Store after installing the ROM?

I'm also getting several Play Store errors on my X722. The ROM version reports as 26s, but i'ts probably the banggood store version. Is there any way of fixing this without altering the ROM?

Playstore was already pre installed, just performed an update with the new playstore. I've been reading through this topic on unlocking stock .26S.. this is the link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...--and-mods/unlock-bootloader-rom-26s-t3654083
You were right.. But this means I'm screwed .
As said below also instagram acts strange when accessing the camera and gets stuck or restarts.. Didn't even fully tried my phone since I dont have nano sim card yet.. :crying:

Also i get errors or programs that get stuck for example instagram
My stock version is EUI 5.9.026S , I really hope this ROM could be changed since it's not working as flawlessly as expected..
For some reason the phone just doesn't work like a 820 chip should work. Neither the stock rom, modified stock. The custom roms based on lineage, paranoid rom are better, but still not as good as the 820 chip phones I tested with the same roms. I don't know if it is software or hardware. I am thinking slow storage...
Rom is EUI, not EMUI.
There is no 026 dev rom
026 stock can be downgraded to 001D rom through stock recovery and then you can flash all these roms.
Anyway, this is a poll topic and you can find a better place to discuss basis stuff
I am running stock EUI 5.8.20S everything is ok, battery is fine., no notifications show though
I tried stock rom Genesys 5.9.26S and Aicp Nougat but came back to 5.8.20S for now.
Notifications can be set - google for EUI notifications problem

Hey Dakok, been following you since the coolpad f1 days on modaco. Thinking about getting this phone. Does the Google HDR+ camera mod work on the elite model?
Also, do you have any personal recommendations on a reliable rom without bugs?
Yes it does. I think that there is a modified one that works with EUI and another one for custom 7.1 roms.
I am on stock 026s EUI yet, so I can't test any but there are many reports that it works fine.
Genesys 26s by Steve Mars is the most reliable rom IMHO.
Paranoid and AICP have minor bugs, otherwise very usable.

You mean that you cannot do it because of 026s EUI? or you just didn't try to downgrade yourself yet?
I was checking for downgrading from stock 0.26 s but it's impossible finding information on the web
I found this portugese video on youtube but i dont know exactly what he is doing there, also the links people refer to from the leeco forum have been taken down..
I cached the links and i find this (click)
But still very hard to understand what they do, could someone make it more explainable how to change with X722 from
EUI version 5.9.026S (Stable) (bought like this) -> version 20s (001D)-> to finally put on Paranoid android 7.3.1 on it? Is it even possible? I really don't want to brick my phone here..
Or should I open a new topic since the other legit ones are closed..
Thanks for everybody putting effort in trying this phone to be customized!
Batyan, a guy from russian 4PDA forum got the archive with two roms.
The first one is a developer EUI rom identified as WIXCNFN5800106140D or 01D (short).
It flashes through phone stock recovery.
The other is Banggood vendor EUI rom 020s, cleaned from China stuff.
This one flashes through fastboot.
01D rom is great since it is the only way to move from stock 026s EUI since it has locked bootloader and you can't do anything to replace recovery, make root or flash another rom.
So. Put that 01D (update.zip) in your phone and flash it through stock recovery (key combination or through phone settings or manager, not sure)
Or you can start it from EUI file manager (not sure).
Now you have 01D rom, you have unlocked bootloader and you can flash any other custom rom.
My advice is to flash Genesys 026s first since it is EUI 026s and it may be good to have latest
partitions flashed. Later you can try paranoid, aicp...
Don't flash lineage 15 (oreo) since it may make some problems regarding partitions.
Use CrisBal TWRP since it seems to be the most compatible.
Here's batyan 01D topic at XDA

Thank you so very much! Great explanation! Hope this will work at my phone! Will try it soon!
Now one final question, and I'm sure many people find this question usefull : Since at this topic there are some people with brick, is this a safe way to do it or is it a chance for a brick even if I do everything correct?
Build nr is : WIXCNFN5902607031S
Thanks again dakok for the good experience, keep going this way:good::good::good::good:

The only way to "hard" brick it is to flash stock 026s through twrp.
Paranoid but a little bit hard to do it for noobs, probably.
Poll Is corrupt
If paranoid ROM is the best... Then I'm a lepracon with lepra....
Its slow as hell, typing this takes ages... When I press a letter 7 seconds late it response... When some one called me I need to press 1100000 times before this ROM gives a reaction...
Also the builder doesn't respond to my mail. So, its what it is. Just a crappy ROM.
Merry Xmas

Maybe you have any problem with your phone.I have paranoid since 08/12/2017 and I can say that it is the best rom that I have tried.Very very fast almost without any issues or bugs and It is incredible experience for the user.
Paranoid is the best for ROM to check what is the true snapdragon 820.
Stock rom no problem. Also phone get hot as hell

On my x722 is weird camera not connect, I already flashed it 3 times, no support
Hi guys,
Although I'm not a totally newbie, I mean I installed Honeycomb on the OG Desire watch out for the volume tho, but I'm totally new to the Huawei thingq, although I've owned a Ascend Mate 7 and a P9+ I never went as far as looking for root and custom ROMs, and I'm specially not educated in the whole architectural changes that treble brings.
So I've a few questions, and hopefully someone can clear some of them for me.
1- Unlocked BL means no OTA right? Also not via Firmware Finder?
2- Running stock, if a new update pops up on the web, I download the .zip and extract everything. I can flash the systems but I'm missing lots of things there, fixes on the kernel, and other stuff. Should I flash them all? Is it recommend? Or are the risks to high? Should I wait for the specific rom to be signed for my IMEI or am I okay as long as I choose the right branding (Europe for me).
3- And having magisk root... Does will it make flashing a new update any complicated?
4 - (and the last), when running a AOSP rom, is it possible/recommend to extract a new stock kernel and flash it when an update is available?
Thanks a lot
Hello, I am super new to xda and to phone rooting. I've recently got a Xiamoni Redmi Note 4 and I really want to root it to unlock the FULL potential of my phone. I'll keep the rest of this thread short by asking:
1. Does MIUI Version matter? I am currently on Global 8.5 l Stable 8.5.4.0 (MCFMIED) Android Version 7.0 NRD90M I am also on a snapdragon
2. Once I unlock my bootloader, is the bootloader unlocked for good?
3. Where can I find a systemless root guide for my phone? (FOR SNAPDRAGON)
4. What are custom roms exactly? What would you suggest?
1) IDK if MIUI version seriously matters but I'd highly recommend to update it to the latest stable.
2) Bootloader is locked for the security of phones, for common users. For further read, see this.
3) Search for "Magisk". You'll VERY easily find the guide and everything you need.
4) Custom ROM is technically an OS. Very usually they're just different flavors of Android. When you flash a custom rom in your phone you're basically changing the phone's OS. You usually get the benefit of getting a smoother, clutter-free phone with a custom rom, well obviously there're risks which you know (or can google).

Nope. I can't tell anything beside these facts. Nice reply. Only that I'd suggest avoiding miui roms and once rooted, flashing of a pure, aosp based Rom.
Searching since yesterday and proceeding ahead is making me confused..
Few Procedures I understood some were confusing, here are my questions.
My Phone details: Check attached hardware details, image format too please.
Unlocked bootloader, yesterday, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL XDA USERS.
1. Should i proceed with twrp + root 1 click, its way to easy and no confusions here.
.2. Should i proceed with magisk, Since on stock rom and just unlocked bootloader, unsure how to proceed here..
Please guide on best option, after doing this bit work, I have many purchased apps (thanks to XDA TEAM and all contributors) which I shall try on phone..
If satisfied, or wanna try custom ROMs, I will make another question..
Thanks and appreciate the volutary hard work of this great community.
Regards,
Flash Twrp then Flash A Custom rom assuming you've unlocked bootloader to flash a custom rom then gapps then flash magisk
Here are some suggestions
Miui Pro Gsi Oreo
Aex Pie/Oreo
Bootleggers Pie
Los Extended Oreo
Pixel Experience Pie/Oreo
I only need to flash twrp (but all options comes with supersu) how to flash same, just link to topic please.
Then magisk think i will follow.
I do not require a custom rom for now, I have bought many apps from XDA which satisfys me for moment.
I am a n00b,
Unsure how to install TWRP first as cannot find right guide,
All TWRP threads (COMES WITH SUPERSU).. can i continue with same ?
Request help since confused.
Hey Just YouTube "HOW TO FLASH TWRP IN REDMI NOTE MIDO" and I'm sure you'll be able to flash that and Download Magisk.zip file flash in Twrp done
If need more help then you can ask for it
Suggestion - Flash A Custom rom
Thanks found solution please remove all my links to this topic..
I have voted.. had little confusion
To #xda #xda-deveopers
I did made the comment aBove..
Weird..
Almost of the most popular Custom ROMs don't even Support this Phone at all, so I looked up GSI roms which should work on any phone whatsoever, is there a way to install GSI roms on this phone?

Most likely. Install TWRP, then flash any GSI you want to /system.
I have written a guide here but be aware that you are expected to know your way around Odin and TWRP.
