Skinny_Pro Custom Boot Image for RN3 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys, I have adapted my work on custom boot images to cover the Redmi Note 3.
I don't want to manage another thread so wander over to the RN2 thread where I will host work on the RN3 also.
A functional version is now available based on 7.2.50 boot.img. It will be slimmed down further to match the RN2 version but I need to be guided by feedback on what works as I do not have your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/development/b-skinny-pro-t3347906

Thanks you . i will test

It is working on rom dev 6.4.28 Testing more. What more can i do to improve battery life. Sr my english so bad

@phunghai110 All of the tweaks that apply to the Redmi Note 2 also apply to the Redmi Note 3.
The boot.img enables you to create an init.d script which is the main tool for managing performance / battery life.
Start by making sure your Busybox installation is up to date. Link to my BB 1.24-2 updater here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwdRTuyj12_yY01jZGFTZi14X3c/view?usp=sharing
Next, update SuperSu to any recent full version (don't rely upon the stock MIUI included versions)
Now do everything in the first post here except for deleting fingerprint related files of course:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/development/b-skinny-pro-t3347906
Leave the zram lines disabled at the moment until I release a boot.img that successfully disables mcd service (waiting on feedback from Test3 version)
This should be enough to see an improvement. More to come.

Does it work on "unofficial" Miui Roms too ? Like this one lhttp://en.miui.com/thread-277452-1-1.html ? It's a 6.5.5 Global Rom

not sure, but if you have an unlocked bootloader & custom recovery there is not much of a risk to just try it out - just be sure to safe the original boot.img first!
i, for one, can confirm that it work's well on this modified rom by quakze: http://en.miui.com/thread-236615-1-1.html

Okay, thanks. I will try. I had the fear that it could hard brick my phone.

Every MTK based (advanced) phone user should familiarize themselves with using SP Flash tools - a hard brick is virtually impossible since the MTK chip is hard-coded to power on and be flashed via USB when it receives the special code sequence from such software. One piece of advice: Never-ever do a format using this tool unless you want to loose your nvram partition and hence IMEI.
Skinny_Pro_RN3_MIUI_7250-5_boot.img is looking stable (thanks to @schmanto for testing)
I cannot say whether it will be compatible with 6.5.5 yet but someone will tell me soon enough - there is no risk of anything disastrous happening and you will always have a good backup to recover too if it messes up

Tell me please 8020 v8 will work with RN3?

Okay, I read everything, but couldn't understand much (sorry )
Still I'm a go for experiments and testing, always ...
So what exactly is SkinnyPro, and why should I flash it? P.S. I hate Xiaomi, too! *high five* xD

Can you please inform me
1. possible to flash this rom on my xt1032/2013 converted to gpe 5.1(now i am runing on SlimSaber 08/08/15)? flashing and gapps infos?
2. OTG function works as i am very intersting about this like you?
3. on every rom you are runing now on your moto g independed of type,can you sent the exported file using the mount command in adb shell, a file like mine attached,just to see in what fs your rom is made? (As it so easy none help me about this still wondering why).
NOTE 1 : in twrp pict. seems the problem i met trying to flash cm based roms like: blisspop/liquid smooth/aosp/resurrection remix and many others, EXCEPT SlimSaber and Mokee
Hopping for an answer,Have a nice day
EDIT 1 :ALL OK, FLASHED OK ON MY DEVICE, but one bug i found atm : when powered off during charge the phone rebooted against battery showing, minimal gapps used.The rom is very fast/smooth/OTG OK, may be the r38 optimus must be flashed(my next step)/the dt2w & Sweep2Wake not founded yet but notice the ukm not flashed yet, any suggestion on these?is going to work or not?
EDIT: 2 the dt2w ok after ukm flashed and synapse loaded and some adjustments made(i use interactive gov atm and cores in aggresive mode), Sweep2Wake in navbar not works on any of 2 options. One more bug? when bt headset connected after some time ,i dont remember exactly trying to turn screen on by power button the screen was freezed and needs to reboot the phone to work ok (this happen before UKM zip flashed and synapse app loaded).
NOTE 2 : the other asks remaining(about the file) ,the tread must be continoued and more work needed IMHO.
Congts very good work. go ahead,TNX!!! A LOT @sfoot13

Actually I'm not using this rom bro
About the kernel, I use Niropa's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/kernel-niropa-1-t3161067 is the best for me (so far)
You can try too Phoenix kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/kernel-phoenix-v1-t3176225 is a very good kernel too, and if you use dt2w features, you'll like it!

Hi, at first TNX!! for your quick responce exclusively for THE FILE NEEDED (at last i have it) and all your infos,i know that you ar'not the dev. As you read on my 1st post on this thread the most of problems solved atm and dt2w works, continuing to be in testing mode, because of my experience this rom worth the pain, so i would like to remain as a maintainer but it depends on you. The reason for file asked is to know in what fs your rom runing just to try to revert the needed files to be flashed on my device on wich all fs are in EXT4 format as it's a Gpe edition. My last question is: the file you send me refered on rom you are runing? or remind me wich one you are runing now.
Sorry for any typos or wrong syntax.
Once more THX! BW
My best wishes
@granazis I was using ResurrectionRemix when I took the info, today I'm using MinimalOS, lately I'm flashing more roms than before xD.
RR is based on CM, and I think that Minimal OS is based on Slim (I'm not 100% sure).
Time ago I converted my data (internal storage) to f2fs (using TWRP), if you that someday, be careful, do a backup of your internal storage because it will erase all your data, and no one wants that.
And for the syntax, don't worry bro., I'm learning english, my native language is spanish, so I make mistakes writing too.

Hi! good afternoon
I saw your post on the original thread, you said "her" xD, hahaha I'm not a girl bro. I'm not the person on the photo, is just a pic that I found on the web and drawed it (sorry for the confusion) and I'm from Chile (South-America).
So, I learned today (thanks to you) that is not a good idea convert my phone to GPE edition is very tedious backup the whole SD, flash the firmware, and do the same again if you want to bring back the original version, is a process that I hate (flash original firmware).

SORRY sir!, usually the members/users put their own photo or country flag ,so i was confused. I revert my phone to Gpe: 1. because of my occupation(Electronic engineer) i like to to be in strange situations trying to find solutions just to be experienced that i had no on this field.
2. Because Google give the updates much earlier on Gpe devices and the support goes more far off than Moto, e.g my LG Nexus 4 released on 2012(the best phone i never had) and now its runing on stock 5.1 and a new update is up now as i read, and notice that the stock Gpe 5.1 is the best stock rom that i never had(very fast,reliable,no bugs atall,very good batt and ram managment but with less features than custom roms independed of difficulties we have on flashing). Sometime i will return back to stock Gpe rom to take the updates as i am against custom roms but try on these just for experience
EDIT: you are not wondering whats the meaning of BW abr.(and its really a nice photo so not do such wrongs, just a joke my friend) its mine and the meaning is Beautiful Woman, ha ha ha iam laughing with myself,how stupid i am???
Sorry for bla bla bla
So glad to know you. Greetings to Chile from Greece.

Bootloader Unlocking - 100% PERFECT:
100% Working Bootloader unlocking solution for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. You dont even need confirmation from Xiomi. You can UNLOCK / RE-LOCK Bootloader at any time...
Trust me, I have personally tested and unlocked my device. Follow steps mentioned over here : Click here
Conclusion : Dont wait for Xiamo to get the permission to unlock ur device. Follow above method. Altough u get permission, at least 95% chances that Mi Unlock application fails. I was trying with Mi unlock app for days and even following up in mi forums, with no working solution. They simply said, try it after a week... So, I dont want some one to waste their valuable time like me...

There are two ways,
1. Flashing Fastboot rom from mi forum will relock your Boot loader.
2. From the above mentioned tutorial, backup the original "fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn" file and it will relock the bootlader. optionally, you can try "fastboot oem lock" command as well.

On POST 3, I have given the link to the complete process and it works perfectly.
So, barely, its like, flashing 7.1.7 or 7.1.8 version with CHANGED MBN file. (MBN file is the main file which will allow unlocking from Fastboot command)
After flashing with changed MBN file, run the FASTBOOK OEM UNLOCK_GO command to unlock the file.
Then, u can check FASTBOOT OEM DEVICE-INFO to check the status. Then, flash other OS like CM12/13 or Qualcommn rom.
If u want MIUI os then, use FASTBOOT command to flash TWRP and reboot to TWRP. Then, download RECOVERY ZIP file and with WINZIP replace MBN and Changed BOOTLOADER (TWRP) file and then flash that file in TWRP. These steps are like an overview of the process, if u want more info, u can google it or check, MI forum
Hey guys I'm thinking of buying this phone the 32gb/3gb SD650 version to be specific and it's nice it's getting a custom roms just like the mtk version. How's the CM12/13 roms as for now overall? Stability, battery you know.. are these roms suitable for daily use? Btw now I have a K3 Note.
Custom ROMs are at very early stage and are not suitable for daily usage. As the kernel drivers are already out, we hope stable version will come soon... Qualcomm factory ROM is stable but feels slow...
Subbed and rated. Thanks for updating ^^
Direct Link to OTA for 7.2.3 is updated in first post. If anyone didnot get the OTA, download 190+MB zip file and put zip file in folder: /internalstorage/downloaded_rom/ Then, updater to update to new version of stock.

Nope, u ll not brick your phone. I have done that and it works flawlessly... I have unlocked bootloader and installed Qualcomm and CM12 roms and again flashed stock OTA via MI updater app. I didnt have any problem.
Although its not for novice users, in most of the cases, hardware bricking a phone is almost not possible, unless, u try to play directly with hardware. And, softbrick will easily be recoverable(Well u need a PC and drivers for sure)... its just like, when u r not able to run the OS in your phone, then, repair shop guy will just flash the stock rom and will give it back to you.... Just, thats what we are doing with MI updater. As mentioned earlier, this may not be for normal user...
Anyway, Thread 2 updated with new tutorial on How to flash OTAs without relocking your phone...

No oddities at all

Got my Mix yesterday - set it up last night.
I was apprehensive with everyone talking about different ROMs, unlock codes, rooting, throttling, etc etc.
Mine came with MIUI Global 8.0.7.0.0 with Google appstore already installed. The packaging was sealed.
Downloaded apps at about 3.5 megabytes per second (as shown by the notification bar connection speed widget).
SMS works fine.
Calling works fine.
I even get 4G on O2 (in the UK). I live in Leeds so it's one of those cities where O2 are using 1800 mhz for 4G as well as the usual 800 Mhz which Mix can't do.
All my banking apps work fine.
I've got Nova Prime on it. MIUI has some nice tweaks built in. There's no bloatware on it at all.
Also, compared to the Lumia 950XL I had for a year, it's about 2 mm wider and that's about it.
I've been using an S7 Edge for the last couple of months and set up wise, there's no difference. Everything just works out of the box. No flashing, tweaking, rooting etc.
Fingerprint reader is faster than S7. It can also wake the phone as well. Double tap to wake is there too.
If I didn't know better, I'd say this was just any other Android phone bought in the UK, instead of a China import where people have been talking about flashing EU ROM etc and having other issues.
Funniest thing about it is that once you get over the initial WOW factor of the screen, you just get used to it. It's only when you look at other phones you think, haha your phone looks like it's from the 1970s.
Only thing I haven't really tried is the camera. Pretty sure it won't be up to 950XL or S7 standards but I've installed Snap Camera so let's see if it's half decent.
Great phone so far.
Just depends if your happy with vendor rom and no updates as long as you own the phone, I removed vendor rom and have had 2 updates since with like yourself no issues.
Where did you get your Mix? Mine also had that ROM but I flashed the China ROM since it wasn't getting OTA updates. Your Mix might be fine for now but I hear the spyware/malware stuff works like a trojan horse, I'd recommend flashing now, your bootloader is probably already unlocked. Just install the China ROM and skip the EU ROM or rooting if you want.

I'm really confused now.
I thought my Global 8.0.7 ROM was the 'normal' China ROM.
Is it a VENDOR ROM? Is it obvious because it came with Gapps installed?
Also, how do you know this has malware on it? Kaspersky doesn't find anything on it.
Anyway, I better flash the official China ROM now - the EU one sounds more suitable (since I'm in the UK) but it's not official is it so ANYTHING might be in that.
Thanks.

Don't think they do put spyware on never found anything, no updates is the killer for me, they probably aren't allowed to mess with official ROM and keep the same numbers plus updates would probably mess up Google apps.
I went with stable China as it has English language and didn't want to TWRP at the moment. OTA updates aren't available on EU ROM ATM although first custom ROM is out with OTA based on EU ROM see forum. I installed Google apps from the mi store with no issues once all permissions were granted.

OK, so this ROM I have is some sort of weird ROM put on by Gearbest (where I got it from). Who developed it and has it been confirmed that there is malware on it?
Reading up on it, I can see how to install: China stable V8.0.12.0.MAHCNDI
Download ROM. Copy to root directory of phone.
Go into Settings/updates/reboot to recovery mode and install the Zip.
Is that right? Since it's not an update, do I have to wipe the phone in recovery?
I'm a bit loathed to do it cos:
a) This is a rather expensive phone from China which makes it a bit hairy. I've flashed ROMs on cheaper devices before but...
b) It's currently running dandy.. everything is fast and smooth and everything WORKS but this thing about spyware and malware I find worrying (even tho I can't seem to find any proof of this.) But yeah, lack of updates is a problem.
Does anyone have a link on an idiots guide on how to go from Vendor to China Stable Official?
There's a thread on this forum about this but it kinda says you need TWRP and Root etc.
If I put China Stable, do I need to root it to put on Gapps?
Will China ROM stop my banking apps to work?

Another question... since I have the Vendor ROM on it, does it mean that my bootloader is unlocked already?

The updater app has been disabled on this ROM, there is a guide (under guides) how to flash from vendor rom to China stable mine came from gearbest and was unlocked. No need TWRP or root. No rush your home won't set on fire with vendor rom just read a few times till you are sure of what you are doing. mi flash is used for flashing ROMs with xiaomi.

If you use Malwarebytes on the Vendor ROM, it flags the MIUI Notes app as "Agent.downloader.Trojan". Check it out! I didn't even sign in on the phone until I could get the EU ROM flashed. Not saying that Vendors deliberately inject their ROMS with malware. Just saying there can always be that one hacker dude who is compiling these ROMS for the vendors.
From what it looks like, most vendors are given a flashable signed zip file that can be flashed using official recovery, the file is named MIUI Global 8.0.7.0 or 8.0.8.0 (Mine came with 8.0.8.0).
So when most vendors receive stock, guess they unbox it, flash this zip file most probably via the official MIUI recovery, run the diagnostic test and if everything passes, they box the item and ship it out. Most vendors may have staff who are trained to copy the flashable zip file via MTP, boot stock recovery and flash! It doesn't take a genius to do that and its done it 5 minutes.
I am on the EU ROM. Even though unofficial, these MIUI EU ROMS have been there since the beginning of MIUI and no one ever had any reliability issues with the EU ROM. The ROM has no bloatware and comes with GAPPS pre-installed.

Not necessarily! Mine came with a vendor ROM and bootloader locked. This is why I assume that Vendors are given a Signed ROM file which can be flashed using the official MI Recovery. I don' t think every vendor has the skills to unlock bootloader and flash a vendor ROM after installing a custom recovery. Its a time consuming process.
If they already have a Signed customized ROM file that can be flashed using the official recovery, its as easy as copying the ZIP file to the phone and flashing it via the recovery. Takes hardly 5-10minutes.
Thank you very much for your replies - much appreciated.
As soon as I read your post, I did Malwarebytes and that found nothing - apart from saying I should switch off NFC so that's a little more comforting. As I said, Kaspersky hasn't found anything.
So, the China Stable is the ONLY official ROM there is - the vendor and EU ones are equally unofficial and neither have OTA updates.
OK more questions:
Some people say China Stable is the way to go cos of the updates.
1) Is the bloatware that bad? Can't I just ignore it? haha
2) Does it need rooting to put Gapps on it? Rooting is a no no for me cos certain apps won't run with it.
If I go the EU ROM, cos of the built in Gapps, can it be updated without wiping every time?
Thanks for all your help.

You should go with EU rom, or custom rom which is starting to appear now. The worst rom to go for imo is the China one, and I find it a bit strange some people want to go for that due to OTA update. OTA update is not such a big deal, you get more update with EU or custom rom and no, you don't need to wipe data, it is so simple and easy to do manual update.
If you are totally beginner then maybe you find the OTA update easier, but at the same time if you are totally beginner you will find it hard to get china rom to become stable and usable. By the way the new custom rom also has OTA update, if you really want that.
So in short, I see almost no reason to stay in China rom, unless you find selecting zip file and flashing rom "too hard". But it's really quite easy to learn.
Mine from gearbest has unlocked bootloader but slightly different number than yours 8.0.8, it's easy to check from fastboot plenty of threads on here.

Xiaomi hate vendor ROMs that's why they lock bootloader, no one wants a bad name with spyware installed on their phones.
RIGHT! Thank you again for all your replies and advice.
I'm gonna do:
1) Find out if it's unlocked and get that done if necessary.
2) Install the EU one knowing now that updates don't wipe the phone.
My fear is that somewhere in between having an unlocked bootloader (which I might have already) and having the EU ROM, I lose the ability to use my Barclays Banking apps. I definitely know that it won't work with root but I also know that unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs aren't the same as being rooted.
However, the fear of this vendor ROM being a security hazard gives me the heebie jeebies so I'll follow the kind advice given and put on the EU ROM.
Thanks for now!

Good luck! Just to let you know i am on EU ROM with bootloader unlocked and rooted, i can still use Paypal and HSBC Banking apps. I don't use Barclays so can't comment on that.
OK I'm following the guide on XDA under Guides: Guide: Flash Global/China ROM.
I've checked that the bootloader is unlocked - which it is.
I've done point 7:
copy the latest xiaomi.eu rom zip to your device (which you can see in your computer's explorer as a device)
But when I use the command to get the phone into TWRP, the screen is unresponsive so I can't Swipe to Unlock.
I've waited for minutes as suggested on other sites but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

If you don't root remember to flash dm-verify before you boot phone or will boot loop. TWRP unresponsive is known have a search
Again, thanks for helping me.
So, found the right TWRP for my phone. For others having the same non-responsive screen, don't install the TWRP that has RC1 or RC2 EU in the file name.
Thanks to the guy above for telling me to install dm-verity before rebooting. I would never have known that.
It installed - but there was a slight strangeness.
I expected the phone to be totally wiped and set to default but everything was as I had set it.
I checked the About Phone and it is now MIUI 8.2 by xiaomi.eu 6.12.29 Beta.
Everything works and is set up as before when I was on Vendor Rom.
Am I safer now?

It was fate TWRP failed, could of been in a whole heap trouble, although not to the point of brick
Good stuff that you managed to get the EU ROM on. You didn't actually need to install TWRP if you just wanted to flash the China ROM though, EDL mode with the stock image on full clear would've been fine but don't worry about it. Gearbest get their stock from other suppliers who are the ones that put the vendor ROM on apparently, but I can't confirm that.
A good order to do things if you've identified you have a vendor ROM would be:
Flash the China ROM with EDL mode with the flash tool set to Flash all (using other options will keep your apps and settings on the vendor ROM but I have no idea if that means it'll keep any trojans or spyware installed)
Boot up the phone and set it up
If you're happy with the China ROM then call it a day then optionally use the Google Installer v2 from the Xiaomi forums if you need GApps (you may have to tinker with the GApps permissions if some things aren't syncing right).
If not then you could flash twrp-3.0.2-0-rc2-eu-lithium.img, flash on the EU ROM and optionally SuperSU for root and also optionally Xposed, then enjoy a preconfigured GApps with no Chinese apps that you aren't too likely to use plus extra languages!
If you are rooted then I'd recommend adding the following line in your build.prop to enable the Camera2 API:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Personally, I'm still waiting on a CM port though, MIUI is too aggressive in killing my apps even though I have like 4.2 GB of RAM free even with all the relevant power settings, app settings, app locks, dev settings etc off. Android Wear functions better after disabling those power settings at least, I sat there scratching my head for a while wondering why the heck my watch wasn't showing any notifications.

XePeleato LineageOS for 4X (Kirin 620) Discussion

Hi there, as can you see here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/xepeleato-s-lineageos-14-1-t3542120, from @XePeleato, he did a LineageOS ROM for P8 lite but he want to help us too, so read the post slowly and if you want to test it, go ahead
In Which phones works?
Che2-L03,Che2-L11, Che2-L12, Che2-L23, Che2-UL00, Che2-TL00, G735-L03, G735-L23
Downloads (Always thanks to Xepeleato for helping us, Really)
Experimental Build 1: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-1.zip (it doesn't boot)
Experimental Build 2: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-2.zip
Installation Instructions (PD: it is hard)
First of all, you need or XePeleato TWRP for P8 lite here http://error404software.com/android/recovery.zip, or TWRP 3.1.0.0 (custom) from Roman Horulsky here https://mega.nz/#!FxwWjJxA!KrLvc85QD9w97ECX3kNRHM5LLWdGLVQix524JnPk5Og
Go here and get the appflasher https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702
On http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=ale-l21 download any rom that is says FULL, and add it to appflasher with the instructions in the post above
On TWRP Mount everything and install the P8 lite ROM (install ZIP)
Then on TWRP. reboot on Bootloader and Install TWRP again
On TWRP, go to Wipe, but before anything, FORMAT DATA (NO WIPE), why would you say? because when you install a p8 lite rom the phone encryptis itself and you can't use/wipe data, and emui data IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE with LineageOS Data
Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data, Internal and System
Then install the zip posted above
Bugs ATM
Doesn't work:
No RIL on Single SIM Phones (on Double Sims RIL Works)
No Sound
No Bt
It seems it detects the sd card (you can enter to install things and everything, but only from the notification), in short words it isn't visible in media apps
When i connect the headphones the phone doesn't detect it
Record and see videos (.mp4 files)
Can't confirm, but maybe OTG (all of us the testers don't use it)
What works
Wifi (perfectly)
Camera
it seems GPS works
Install apps from explorer
Play store (it shows all the apps)
Dev Options
No problems with root (it needs to be flashed)
Many thins more
You maybe are wondering, why it doesn't boot on G Play/4X, or it has some sort of Wifi Bugs on G Play Mini/4C? because the net card, P8 lite (and probably 4C too but with different model) have a Siliscon Net card, and we 4X users have a Broadcom Netcard, so the romitself it is trying to load a module for a hardware that we don't have, so it doesn't boot
I did this post here, so we don't inundate the P8 Lite topic
if you have questions about this, it is your time to ask! (and if you are a dev, your help is appreciated)
EDIT: first experimental builds are up, see the 3rd page on comments (added pics)
Alright, so later on I'll build a special zip with a compatible kernel. This is going.to be the workflow.
1) You are interested and send me a PM
2) I send you the zip
3) You answer with your device model and whatever you think it's important like:'wifi didn't work, here's a logcat when I try to enable it's
4) I send another zip...

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO FLASH ON CHE2-L11
I have followed all the instructions (slow method), but flashing is not possible on my Huawei Honor 4x Che2-L11. It stops in the flashing process.
When doing adb sideload, it fails with the error message:
Code:
"E:unknown command [log]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
(this is error message in TWRP, not on laptop)
I have never succeeded in installing CM before, so not surprising that I can't install LineageOS. Nobody has taken care of Che2-L11 so it's total uncertain situation while some claim it works but don't show how. I have followed all the advice, tried all the different TWRP versions, but it always got stuck on "patching system image unconditionally" (with CM 12.1 - P8Lite version). Probably reason might be that they are not wiping everything, but keep some partition but forget to tell me about it. I wipe everything.
We need some common effort to make Che2-L11 versions, work together. I can do my part if we cooperate.

As I said, this is a discussion and not the ROM itself, the ROM for 4X isn't available yet, anyways I put these instructions so you can test it, and your error isn't normal
If you want to try, get the boot.img and flash it, the phone won't boot
I made this discussion for people that are interested on lineage OS and want to try the experimental ROM that will be here soon
And it is weird that cm12.1 failed to you too, me with other users already installed other roms, like this one or cm12.1 and it flashed well
All from us for Honor 4X Che understand your frustration too, since even the other devs here of the 4X (che1) ignore us, but at least now someone want to help us,so we need to support him
And yes it is sad that even a dev from other phone is helping us, the only dev we had sold his phone
Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me what you wiped before flashing the CM 12.1? How did you perform the wipe? With format? I think there must be something remaining when you flash CM 12.1, which I am wiping.
Maybe I am flashing the wrong rom. I don't know that there exists any rom of CM for Che2-L11. The one I am flashing, I had to change the update-script to remove first line. Where is the CM12.1 for Che2-L11? I don't think any exists.
I fully understand the situation with lack of devs. I think it can be improved with some better documentation, for example we can make a separate thread here.

When I install custom Roms, first I install any p8 lite ROM (emui) then flash it, and then I have no problems
Sent from my Che2-UL00
So I should download the rom zip from p8lite thread and pm XePeleato for a compatible kernel for it to boot? Sorry but there's too many instruction. I can't follow btw I'm on b515. Should I use a p8lite rom for it to work?
@ericotena for now he want to test that we users with 4x, all of them doesn't work to see rare things, for example an 4X working
i mean yes download atleast the zip now, and try with those steps, personally i tested using 4X and @MarcoPLs with P8 lite rom, and we made it to test
Xepeleato said it is enought that if you quote him in 1 comment, so he will pm you then with a rom
@XePeleato I want to test it too when it is available haha. Thanks for your efforts on this rom!!!!
@XePeleato I really appreciate your great job and I wish you can help us , our poor Huawei honor 4x users :laugh:
Don't worry, I couldn't PM you yesterday because the build didn't finish (nothing I can do about it). As far as I know, the ROM has to be compatible with Che2-L11, but if there's other more 'compatible' model I'd like to know it, like the ALE-L21 for the P8 lite.

For Mediatek Devices it is pretty easy because if you manage to build a ROM for a device that has its software made by the same company who did the same software for another device (i hope this sentence is clear), then you can build a ROM for both devices with just some minor changes.

I'll just reply here for the last time, it is OT, but still useful for development
When there is no kernel source code, i use the prebuilt kernel image (included with the Stock ROM), while everything else gets compiled (excluding proprietary files required to handle the hardware).

i bought phone from banggood came with offical outdated software, so i will never get update.the only rom with update is 20170621. the rom that we have here 6gb version,hope someone will provide rom 20170621 for 4gb version.
many thanks
I'm also wondering about ROMs for the 4gb version of the phone? Have they updated that to the same level as the 6gb ROM? I thought the specs were identical apart from the extra 2gb of memory??
Can you do a rom for 4gb Version?

"Can you do" doesn't exist yet.
It is only the Stock ROM provided by DOOGEE directly, not something I made. You have to ask DOOGEE if you want other variants, then provide me the link.
Ah okay, i thought this was the pure stock Android Rom without Doogee "bloat".... Do you think there will be a lineage Version in future?

It's too early to discuss about source-built ROMs, this is a pretty new platform.

It does, I have flashed it on my own MIX.
How did you flash it with SP Flash Tools?
When i connect and try it says BROM ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL(0xC0060003)
What does it mean.
I installed drivers for MT67xx and latest SP Flash Tool
I have my phone turned off and when i connect (after clicking download in SP Flash Tool) it says the error.
Hi guys, i'm pretty novice about all of this and i dont speak english a lot, i have a problem with my new DOOGEE MIX (6gb i think), i tried to uninstall the "DOOGEE OS" many times but i failed all time. There is a cat/gameboy on my screen and i cant remove them, maybe i can find an issue here. Thank a lot in advance and have a good day !

home screen, press on the screen a few seconds,you will see launcher settings, then turn off search bar and know on home screen
