I'm new to Android (from the more user friendly iPhone garden) and have just gotten a Lenovo A3300-T tabletvia China as well.
After spending hours Googling and trying to make it useful I'm pretty much at a loss and ready to give up, but before I do, has anyone managed to either get Google Play to work on this model tablet or replace the firmware with something useful? (ie., that does have Googleplay included).
Cheers,

If anyone ever figures this out I'd love to hear back. Pretty much given up on Android for now but using this POS as a basic book reader until I get an iPhone 6 plus from work.
Suprised at how low quality the screen is though, makes my ancient iPod Touch look positively modern :crying:

Got a stock 17s for x720, without bloatware straight from the box, anyone interested?

So guys, as the title says, my phone arrived straight from china (aliexpress) with no bloatware whatsoever. Being a loooong time lurker of these forums i realised it may be a bit of a unicorn, because as far as i am aware, it came like this straight from LeEco. I believe so because the seller told me when I ordered it that they are in contact with LeEco, and asked whether i would like Play Store to be added by them. Even the Launcher is free of the Live button as the photos will show. Now I know I'm a bit late to the party with the 17s being outdated as it is, but lemme tell you that I was dumbfounded as to why you were all hating on EUI so much, because what I had on hands was actually great, being bloat free . Wasnt until after i flashed another stock rom did ai get the picture.
Anyhow, I like to be very meticulous about my androids, so I made a full TWRP backup (w/included stock recovery even) before I started messing with it, and now I'm thinking whether some of you might be interested for me to post the backup, to check it out? It has like 80+ languages to choose from, and came without the OTA update option.

It's only one of many custom ROMs.

Would you mind uploading launcher somewhere? I like EUI, but hate that LIVE button.. I'm on 20s USA and launcher version is same, 6.0.1

Custom Launchers like Nova are better than stock. High customisable, good looking, speed working.

@marik, I could be wrong of course, but I think there is more to this, because if it were custom, i couldnt update it via stock recovery and update.zip method, but I can/already have out of curiosity. And either way, I didnt find anything like it posted online (and I've tried atleast a dozen roms so far myself, including the customs like grossoshops etc.)
@Presterin, sure thing, and contrary to popular opinion, I also like the EUI a lot, but I would have HATED it if I had my initial contact with it loaded with all those LeEco apps and crap

1. Do you have 18s for LeEco Pro 3 x720? If not, your ROM is not actual,
2. Debloated ROMs like T.A.R.S. exist,
* 3. When I ordered my 6/64, in SpeMall(.com)'s ROM was multilangue and support OTA. But, is it working? IDK.

@marik1 like I said, I could be wrong
 @Presterin here u go

Men... Please do post it. I would be really grateful

Yea don't seem to see it?
You don't mind were is it?

'Clean' ROMs? (Google free)

I just picked up an S8+ for €524 (new). However I'm not allowed to have anything Google on my phone (not just apps, but Play Services). Nor do I want them really.
Since there still aren't any working AOSP ROMs, which of the 100s of modified stock ROMs (or N8 ports) are available where GoogleApps must be installed as a separate package (like AOSP)? Anyone have a list?
Don't want to waste time messing around removing it from ROMs that already have it baked in.

Lineage OS when it will have official support (no idea when)

Thanks, I'm aware that it (and Resurrection Remix etc etc) will. But rather strangely, in my view, there seems to be a huge disbalance in development efforts between stock and AOSP on the S8.
Anyway, regardless, in the mean time, I want a 'stock' / modified ROM that has no Google as standard.

From what I know...there is no AOSP rom that works completely for the s8 yet...
You can still root it and unistall anything inside from google from the stock rom, so that you keep all the functions without using google stuff

Per my first post, I'd rather not bother.
I'll just return the phone or sell it immediately if there really aren't any custom ROMs where G-Apps are installed separately. Aside from the initial bother, OTA updates tend to reinstall them, so it's a constant battle.

No AOSP roms for now. There's long way for Lineage or RR to become fully functional and bug-free. Just to remind the S6/S7 case.

I know, but surely there must be a few custom ROMs with no G-apps by default? There are literally hundreds.

Have a look at BatMan Rom v1.5. If I remember correctly you can choose to omit installing any G-apps via the Aroma installation.

AFAIK removing Google Play Services (via Aroma) isn't an option. It's just the actual apps. Certainly it isn't an option in the screengrabs in that ROM or others.
Also, I assume like many other ROMs with G-apps baked in, OTAs complicate this, and they may never really be gone.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Doubt very much you will find a Rom which fulfills your needs precisely.
An alternative is to use Titanium Backup or Package Disabler to get 'rid' of all Google things.

I remember there being a few in the Nexus 4 and 5 days, and some old Samsungs.
Haven't kept track of it recently, as have used stock CM / LOS in later years, so found it unnecessary.

Bump

To the OP I'd be happy to take stock from a backup and remove all Google apps entirely and upload it for all. Do you want it rooted or would you prefer to do so yourself? It would be. ROM and not odin specific. I too hate Google and have everything removed except Gmail play store and modded YouTube. Battary life is pretty amazing too.

No need to bump since you won't find anything, the formula for aosp is a Snapdragon cpu and an unlocked bootloader. You bought the wrong phone.

For the Nth time, if you're going to bother to reply, then at least read what I have written and explained in a number of posts.
Nowhere have I asked for AOSP. It'll come when it comes, but I need a fix in the mean time.
I am asking for a modified stock ROM with Google removed by default. Something that has existed in the past, and which it's incredible if it does not exist among the hundreds of modified stock ROMs for the S8 variants.
Also, Snapdragon certainly isn't a prerequisite for AOSP. Samsung released all the sources a while ago. Huawei (Kirin & slow to release any / all sources and unreleased drivers) have AOSP.
I think the main impediment is that the S8/S8+/Note8 have been very expensive. But given that an S8 can now be bought for the same or less than a 64GB OP 5T in Europe, and has obviously better hardware, I suspect there will be a great deal more development effort incoming. Per my original post, my S8+ cost €524 from one of the largest e-tailers in Germany. A 5T costs €499.

That's very kind. The only problem I foresee, as mentioned earlier, is that removing Google from a ROM which doesn't have a maintained Google-free version means that every significant OTA update is likely to 're-infect' the system.
I think the most likely chance of success is a minor fork of ICE / BatMan / Renovate (i.e. one of the most popular modified stock ROMs) with a default Google-free version. This way, it may well attract enough interest that even if you stop, someone else will maintain it. They're so popular that there might be enough interest to maintain it even after LOS15.1 and derivatives are working and stable.

Now why didn't you do your research before buying this phone? Did you just assume you'd find a google free touchwiz rom? It doesn't take long to skim through the dev section and see every rom is basically stock with little tweaks here and there. Its not like you bought the phone on day 1, its been out for 8 months or so.
So like i said before, you bought the wrong phone, give it back and get that op5t if you don't want google on your phone. Flash aosp and voila, no google unless you flash gapps.

itll be 7 months before we see aosp on s8 and s8 plus. as for the other thing, i have a base im working on atm. when an update comes along ill make one from it. in the meantime, the build i use is super fast and compared to the others you mentioned like ice and batman, its way better for snappy and so on. if interested let me know. itll take me around 6 hours to get it going and another 3 to upload if im lucky. donations on this would be highly highly appreciated but not needed

I think it'll be much sooner than that. Price matters. It'll fall even further once the S9 is out. But anyway ....
What's the base? Will it have Aroma?
It would probably be a good idea to make a thread with details, and then you can gauge interest and thereby likelihood of donations.
Once I actually have the phone (it's in DE and I'm currently in NL) and get round to installing it, I'd of course contribute, provided it is indeed suitable.

Base will be 7.0/7.1.1 as its the most stable as far as speed is concerned. Aroma will be an option yes. I'm still learning how to make threads in here. Would love to have a place holder of sorts. Ill look into more later on. Be looking for my other account on here to post the ROM. The name is LVL7MODZ

What is the most bug free custom ROM for Axon 7?

I'd love to get some totally un-biased views here, including pros and cons. This will probably also help others given the current circumstances and wading through old threads containing up to 4000 posts is a real PIA. Current info condensed into one new thread would be great and not introduce clutter in the ROM threads.
Given that even if we get Oreo, there will most likely be no further official updates, just wondering, from all of you who have used many ROMs, what is an honest view of which ROMs are nearly bug free? Are any bug free? For me stuff like call and camera issues are a total deal breaker. I use my phone for personal and work, including interstate and minor overseas travel. Not going to even install any ROM that is compromised in some way.
I put OmniROM MM on my Oppo Find 7 and that was fantastic. It even got updated to Nougat and I think still has updates so I reset it to a non rooted, stock (Omni) state and passed it on to my eldest daughter. It's being enjoyed and well used still.
I'd really like to get that kind of service life from my Axon 7 as it is a very good phone still.

I reccomend Oreo AEX,although i heard that dualsim is not currently working

Just like asking "what are the best headphones?", or "what are the best speakers?", the only real way to tell how well a certain ROM will work for YOU on YOUR PHONE is to try it. Even between phones of the exact same model, there will always be different experiences across users. Backup, wipe, flash & see if the features/performance you find are what work for you.

Well that won't be happening. I use it for work. Can't be flashing it all the time. Just needs to work and leave it alone.

I'd use raystef's stock based roms then, check them out.
Most are nougat, one is oreo beta, pick your poison.

I've had really good experiences with Official lineageOS. It has been a seamless process without any hitches. I'm personally waiting for the official release of lineageOS 15.1 (if and when it comes out). I've installed lineage on various devices and have been super happy with all of them. My Moto G Titan feels like a new phone after I've installed it.

It's very device specific though. Sometimes a custom ROM (such as LOS, OMNI etc) will work well on one type of phone and be buggy on a different one. Not all phones work the same on them and I think the Axon 7 is one of those that ends up with buggy ROMs. The camera and DAC are complications that can be hard to get running well, also dual SIM can be an issue and I use it all.
If it's a choice between custom with bugs or stay on stock Nougat I would stay stock.

The feedback on LOS doesn't seem to be too bad and I do understand that since I am also still stock but the problem is that the stock ROM is filled with bugs aswell. The screen brightness bug I get sometimes, the call bug, my Google play store crashes often, my GPS doesn't work properly etc etc. Those are all bugs the stock ROM itself has.

Question to ROMs for OP 8 Pro

Hello together,
hope that this is the correct place to ask for a well working ROM for my OP 8 Pro.
I have been informed that the former CEO from OP has left and the new owner is niw making meeeeeeh OP Phones - what a shame - and because of this I want to switch to a custom ROM.
Problem is that I haven't found any good images in some ROM threads. It would be nice to get some images.
It's a bit hard to look things up on the phone but I have currently no PC access, sadly.

I have test some of them, and in all of them fingerprint sensor works not as stock rom. In stock in read immidietly, on custom i must touch few times, finaly must enter pin, this is very annoying. Best on my opinion is AICP 16.1.

AICP 16.1 is my rom also. They have a 17.1 version (Android 12) but it doesn't have as many tweaks as 16.1. Android 12 in general doesn't have very after market tweaks since it is so new also. I think 16.1 is more stable also.

i tested many roms and while none was bad, the best experience i had was with OOS android 10 and 11. Im not sure which i think is better but there is no custom rom that gives be this experience.

Carl Pei was the creator and super master mind with Oneplus until his departure. He has now started a company called Nothing and produced his first Nothing phone available 7-16-2022 to buy. See https://us.nothing.tech/pages/phone-1 for more info.
Oneplus is still a good phone but has entered the main stream with top end specs mostly. The original intent of Oneplus was to have a medium spec'ed phone for a reasonable price.
