This is a Guide to install the Global ROM Flyme OS 6Global on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus Chinese version.
Note: This is also a way to install Any custom ROM made in the future. If someone wanna Customize the ROM( Integrate Xposed and other stuff) feell free to do it.
What does this mean:
Meizu released two versions of the Pro 6 Plus, a chineese version (A) for china and an International version (G) for the devices sold in other countries (International). If you bought your Pro 6 plus from official meizu store on your country, it will come with the G version, but if you bought it from Aliexpress or any other Chinese store, you will buy a Chinese version, some seller may send you the international version if you are lucky but the majoritynot.
Global / International version:
No bloatware, chinese apps..
Multilanguage ( all languages available)
Stock apps optimized for International use (Weather....)
seems to be smoother and faster than the chinese version.

*** As always - Read everything carefully and Flash on our own risk! ***
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.What do we need:
Rooted Device
FlashFire app from playstore
Flyme 6.1.0.0G _Global_Stable_Pro 6 Plus for Flashfire
Instructions:
Its recomnended to back up your data (Titanium backup, your fotos etc)in case of disaster.
Update to a newer version:
Copy the new version to Internal storage
Open Flashfire, click on the + button and choose Flash Zip / OTA
Select the Downloaded ROM from the file explorer and select Mount system read write.
Now you will see a screen with all the actions that will be done, select the action called Reboot and un-thick the option Preserve recovery, leave Normal selected.
Finally click on FLASH and wait until the process ends.
Enjoy...
Note: In case of any problems and you want a clean installation, add the wipe action from the + button before flashing. But it should not be needed.
Note: it seems to be a problem with supersu if you don't wipe data before update. so to avoid problems, you should wipe before flash.
If you want to keep your apps and data, you should make a data (data partition only) backup from flashfire before updating. then wipe and update, follow instructions to root and to have super su. After that you can use flshfire to restore data backup (only data partition) .
also you can use kingroot but its not compatible with flashfire.
If you already updated, you can use titanium backup(give root permision from system root in settings, security root permissions)make a backup of your apps and then follow the guide below How to go back to stock chinese ROM in case of disaster, after that follow the instruction of new installation and when you have the that done, you can rstore your apps with titanium backup.

Flyme OS 6.7.4.11_beta_Global_Pro 6 Plus for Flashfire
Thanks for this tutorial! It was very detailed and easy to follow.
In the future when I want to perform an update, do I need to go through FlashFire in order for it to work correctly on a Chinese version of the device? Also, where do you download the "G" versions of the beta firmware? I know their next release is a stable version and I know it comes out after the A version; just wondering where you go to download it. Cheers!

For future update you can download the stable from http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=46&type=1. Or the betas from flyme forum. You will have to edit the installation script to be able to flash through flashfire and don't get error and avoid firmware problems. Anyway i will upload the future updates modified for flashfire.

Thanks!!! I tried looking through the zip file to see what you changed, but didn't know which file to go into. I assume it's not as easy as opening up a file in notepad and changing some data on there.

Thanks dude! Looking forward to it.
im surprised at how small the response to this phone is....just stumbled upon it while looking for a new device.
this is rather off-topic but this seems to be the most active thread
thanks for that.
i have question,i can flash the Flyme 5.2.7.0G by this method?
@bihariel Hey I have a question for you. Have you ever experienced a sudden change in battery life out of nowhere? When I first installed this firmware, the battery was perfect. All of a sudden after charging my phone, the battery is draining at an unprecedented rate especially on standby. I charged the phone to 100%, disabled all notification/wifi/cellular network and left it on overnight to activate the battery calibration. The problem still exists however. It's draining about 1% every 2 minutes on standby which is ridiculous.
I'm just wondering if you ever encountered this issue before.

You can but you have to modify the script to avoid firmware files and recovery.img to be flashed, which would end in an installation abort,

Not really, the battery is surprising me on this ROM. Maybe you sould use a battery monitoring app and see whats draining it. If not, do a factory reset and see if it still prsists.

Hello everyone, thanks a lot bihariel for this guide.
I have successfully installed the beta with flashfire and it's all ok!
Some people say flashfy is not a very safe method, what do you think? I'm not an expert.
However, I did not go to the flymex account synchronization, now I've installed the closed beta apps yesterday and it works perfectly well!
We wait for the stable then!
Can you explain how you modified the update for the future? Thanks so much.
Are Alternative Methods to Flashfire? Type ADB?
In Italy a seller on his blog posted this guide, but I could not install it:
"The tutorial for installing firmware G in the Asian Meizu Pro 6 Plus smartphone is really very simple and does not require solid modding basics, you just have to be careful about installing ADB drivers correctly.
Load the battery completely before you begin the procedure and save all your important data
On your PC or on a Cloud as you will need to make the full factory reset.
Prerequisites Preinstalling Firmware G in Meizu Pro 6 Plus:
1-Smartphone fully charged
2-Any antivirus and / or firewalls disabled
3-Driver ADB properly installed, restart your PC after installation!
4-Enabled Root permissions through Flyme account (Fingerprint and Security Menu)
5-USB Debug Mode Enabled in Developer Options (Accessibility Menu)
G Firmware Installation in Meizu Pro 6 Plus:
Decompress the Meizu_Pro6plus_Flyme 5.2.7.0G.zip archive and copy it to the root folder
Of Meizu Pro 6 Plus the file system-i.img
Decompress the archive adb_tool.zip and in the folder obtained we select the file
Cmd.exe to open the command window
Write in the command window:
Adb shell
We give Send and permission to ADB through the pop-up that will appear on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus display
We will read in the shell @ Pro6Plus command window
WARNING: If the pop-up display does not appear, ADB drivers have not been installed correctly!
Write in the command window:
su
We give Send and permission of ADB SHELL root permissions through
The pop-up that will appear on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus display
We will read in the command window the symbol #
WARNING: If the pop-up display does not appear, root permissions are disabled!
Write in the command window:
Dd if = / sdcard / system-i.img of / dev / block / platform / 155a0000.ufs / by-name / system
We give Enter, we will see the cursor blink, we do not touch anything until the flash procedure
The system will not be completed and the screenshot message below will appear
Meizu pro 6 plus 01
Disconnect the usb cable from the Meizu Pro 6 Plus and restart it by holding down the button
Power for a few seconds, the startup process will take a few minutes, do not alarm and we start booting.
When the terminal is started we go in
Settings> About phone> Storage> Factory data reset>
We see Factory reset and Format internal storage>
Select START RESET"
I put into google translate, if you want the original in italian language let me know.

I can tell you that for now the safest method is flashfire because it install the ROM in same way that the Recovery does, that is: it wipes the system partition and installs the ROM with correct permissions.
The method you mention is more risky( to get a bootloop) because it overwrites the ROM files directly over the System partition with the OS still running on phone. This drives into a system hang freeze. of course you have to turn it of by holding power button until it restarts. Then you have to go recovery and do a factory reset if you get bootloop.
I tried this method before Flasfire but it gave me bootloop so then i used Flashfire because it do the same job that Recovery does.
About the modifications, its really simple. Just open \META-INF\com\google\androidupdater-script and delete all the lines in red in this picture (these lines check if your phone is Chinese version or global and update the firmware files.)
Also you can delete the files related to those lines just for safety (boot.img, recovery.img, logo.bin, ldfw, bootloader..)

Salam,
The camera bug is weird, i don't have that bug, i open the camera ( front and back) many times and it works perfectly, maybe you changed something in camera setting ( erasing camera app data should help)
Anyway, the script is exactly the same as mine, its just you are using and editor with Arabic orientation.
Just use the app Notepad++( google it) and open it in English lang.
If not, just upload the script for me and i will edit it.

HARDWARE MODs
DISCLAIMER
AS ALWAYS DO ON YOUR OWN RISK. HARDWARE MOD can potentially damage or burn your device
don´t come to cry if your phone xploded,nuclear blasted or melted
Use 2 sim + 1 Micro SD card at the same time
Is not that hard and will be easy for less experienced hobbyists
So here we go : (pictures are bellow)
--Micro-SIM heated above a under cup of HOT coffee or HOT tea or HARIRA for a few seconds until the plastic was soft.
--gently bent down the soft plastic then and slide the gold-plated part(chip with contact plate). This part bend in any case! Now you have a MICRONANO-SIM (still smaller than Nano-SIM).
--Super Glue MICRONANO SIM on the SD card.the sim card will be a little over the edge of the SD card, as the drawer of the phones it has a recess. (SIM is 90 degrees rotated to the SD card inserted) Had me the exact position of the SIM previously penciled in pencil on the SD card. Recommendation: During the gluing, cover the terminals of the SD card with tape to prevent superglue boils.
--DONE

Root genius does not work at all for rooting the global stable rom
Quick query - I just got the phone, and I have the global 7.1.7.0 version. So if I want to switch to the developer ROM, I just have to download the updater file, choose the package from the updater section in settings and just flash it? No need for root or bootloader unlocking?

I can't get te screenshot because I remove it.
But it's logic, the Xposed files that you uploaded are for Redmi Note 3 Hennesy (MTK) not Kenzo (SD) because MTK uses MIUI 7 based on 5.0.1 and SD uses MIUI 7 based on android 5.1.0.
SDK21 is for Android 5.0.1 and SDK22 is for Android 5.1.0 You known what I mean?

Weird !!! I unlocked it same as the guide !!
make sure you connect phone to MI account and phone number
If not working you are from the bad uck guys and YOU HAVE to apply for unlock permission here en.miui.com/unlock !!! and wait until you have confirmation SMS with password to unlock
After you get permission to unlock try again

thanks for the heads up i mixed the files. OP updated
Hi @Perfectdevil
Firstly, thank you very much for creating this thread for the Redmi Note 3 PRO.
Second, please check the information in your OP. The China DEV ROM 6.3.17 does indeed have ROOT - you just need to enable it from the Security/Permissions App. This will download and install an update providing native root access. It's not quite as useful as SuperSU but it does work.
Please check your instructions for loading TWRP because this method (which was originally posted by @feds64 on Mi Forums) does not result in a permanent TWRP installation. (TWRP disappears after reboot). This is all explained in thread on MI forums, and the only way to get it to work is to flash a cracked boot.img.
Without a lasting TWRP (or with stock recovery only) things like Flashify just won't work. So we can't use Flashify to flash Xposed without TWRP. And if you have TWRP, then Flashify is not necessary.
Anyway, look forward to more info here.

NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some ‘may’ get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC (FREE) AND PROFESSIONAL (DONATE) VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR ‘AUTO UPDATES’ DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF SUPERUSER AND RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE ‘QUICK PICKS’ SECTION[/B] ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UPTO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE “ANY BUILD” OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------
USEFUL INFORMATION
How to get into your FastBoot Mode
1. Turn your phone off
2. Unplug your usb cable if you have one plugged in
3. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Power' buttons to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode
How to get into Recovery
1. First boot into FastBoot Mode as described above
2. Scroll down with the 'Volume Down' button until it says 'Recovery mode' at the top and press the 'Power' button to enter Recovery
--------------------------------------------------------------
*DISCLAIMER*
I take no responsibility for any fault or damage caused by using the Unified Android Toolkit. No warranties of any kind are given.
**FAQ**
**VIDEOS**
I have finished all the work on the OnePlus modules for the 1, 2 and 3 devices and it is ready for testing.
You can download and test the Toolkit from the link in post#1. Please remember that this IS a test version at the moment as I do not own any OnePlus devices but I have checked all the code thoroughly and don't see any problems. I am especially pleased with the unlock/lock routines and will probably implement the code for the Nexus modules if it works well.
Everything can be checked (and please do) except downloading a stock build directly from the Toolkit as I am waiting to hear back from AndroidFileHost to see if I can get direct links to use in the Toolkit. The fastboot flash routines are working though and the Toolkit will detect the storage of the device (16GB or 64GB) and flash the relevant userdata image so you do not have to do that manually anymore.
I have used the Universal USB driver pack from CWM so if anyone has not installed OnePlus drivers yet PLEASE test if this works. I did originally include the official drivers from OnePlus but they close the Toolkit when the drivers installation starts and thats not great.
The ALLINONE routine should work fine and I have sent out some pro codes to testers to check it all works.
All builds are covered and the correct version of TWRP will be downloaded depending on the build selected. Please check everything and let me know of any bugs or textual errors (as I used a lot of the Nexus code) so I can release it publicly as soon as possible.
Thanks, Mark.
Great job, thanks a lot!!!
Dude, did a scan of your file and found this: Result: Detected: Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Cryrar.gib care to explain?
Trojan?
I hope not - seems legit.
I have 2 problems:
1)
It never asks me to authenticate the PC on the phone after installing drivers - tried both driver versions.
But the Phone serial shows up in the menu, the driver test is fine and I can backup .apks.
2)
I can not flash the OTA
Is it because it is a full stock image instead of an OTA?

I found the problem right away, just deleted 1 word by accident when I was renaming things.
I have made new device modules and uploaded them. Delete the ConfigOnePlus3.exe file from the Tools folder (or run ToolkitClean and select the OnePlusThree), then rerun the Toolkit and select your device to download new modules. Should work then.

Tried again and Windows installed more device drivers when accepting sideload from ADB.
Didnt work the 2nd time either.

Thanks and thank you for staying with me, I have had to change some of the procedures for the OnePlus.
Should be all fixed now. One of the procedures I had to skip set the filename for the OTA image. Have added it back in.
Clean the module files, download the new ones and retest. Hopefully it should go through.
Mark.
It is sideloading now
Reboot was successful - thx
Btw: If you want the help text to be 100% correct:
When you reboot you have to chose ENGLISH (or you can chose chinese or madarin?)
And it is called 'Install from ADB' not from USB.
Then click OK to 'Do you want to update' (not 100% sure about this text - can not remember now.

Just tried option 11 from the main menu:

Booting to stock recovery gives me the same error.

Thank you. I have uploaded the fixes to all the OnePlus device modules so that part at least should work for them all now.
Does the language selection come up as soon as the device boots to recovery?
I put Install from USB as thats what it said in the flashing tutorial on oneplus.net I will change it to Install from ADB/USB just to be safe for all devices.
Thanks again for the feedback. If you want to test any of the pro functions (ALLINONE) then let me know and I will send an activation code to your inbox.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? This is required before flashing/bootings images to your device.
I can capture the error when trying to boot/flash with a locked bootloader to provide more help for the user.
Mark.
The language selection come up as soon as the device boots to recovery - yes.
No I didn't unlock the bootloader - I didn't think it was necessary - help text said something about unlocking - but not that it was required.
I just wanted to backup the device - not flash anything.
Yes let me try (ALLINONE) - send me a PM thx.

Welcome to the NitrogenOS Q&A Megathread. Here you can find answers for the most popular problems and questions about NitrogenOS. I started this thread, so that new users don't repeatedly ask the same questions multiple times. While I am fairly new to coding in Java, I can definitely say I know a lot about Android phones and NitrogenOS, but you'll have to trust me on that. If you need any more help, you can even PM me and I'll try to reply as soon as I can.
You can find the original NitrogenOS thread here.
ROM info
Developer: xyyx
Latest Android version: 8.1 Oreo
NOS Download (latest): https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/kenzo_test/8.1/
Bugs and updates
- A (very) small amount of users reported Google Dialer not working properly while installed through OpenGapps or the Play Store, you can still use stock dialer
1. Test or stable?!?!
Test in this case doesn't mean less stable. xyyx named the two versions a little confusingly.
Test means Oreo (Android 8.0 and 8.1) and Stable means Nougat (Android 7.1.2).
So let's make this a little less confusing:
Oreo (8.0) builds -> Download from here
Oreo (8.1) builds -> Download from here
Nougat (7.1.2) builds -> Download from here
2. Youtube PiP (Picture in Picture mode)
Google has patched PiP a long time ago, so it doesn't work with the latest Youtube releases. The last official release working with PiP is 12.34.55, which you can download from ApkMirror.
My preferred option however is iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback), a modified version of Youtube, but it gets a little confusing as there are multiple options.
You can download it from this thread.
Now the tricky part - choosing the right version. I always prefer the Vanced version, which can be found in the 2nd post. Again you have multiple options, but I will not go through all of them since they are explained pretty good in the post itself. While iYTBP enables PiP, it also blocks ads and adds a lot of useful settings and new updates come very frequently. There are multiple installation methods, but I prefer the Magisk one, since it offers options like detaching the Youtube app from Play Store. What this means is, that you don't have to disable auto-updates and it will not bug you to constantly update it.
You can try these methods:
Magisk Module (Easiest):
1. Open Magisk Manager
2. Go to Downloads
3. In the search bar type "Youtube", you should see two results
4. Choose either the normal or the black theme (I personally prefer the black one)
5. Press the download arrow and then "Install"
6. Wait for a while (it's a big package to download and unpack)
7. Reboot
This is by far the easiest option and the module is updated fairly often.
Manual:
1. Delete or uninstall any previous release of Youtube. If you installed it as a system app, disable it or delete the /system/app/YouTube folder. If you had to delete the folder, reboot.
2. Download the Youtube apk
3. Make a folder called YouTube (watch the caps!)
4. Move the apk to this folder and rename it as YouTube (again with the caps)
5. Copy/move the folder to /system/app (The directory should look like this: /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk)
6. Reboot
Magisk (manual):
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. Since we're installing from Magisk, you'll need to set MAGINSTALL to YES (MAGINSTALL="YES"). I usually also enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules and press the + button. Now select the universal installer zip and flash it in Magisk.
4. Reboot
Recovery method:
Same as for Magisk, but MAGINSTALL is set to NO (MAGINSTALL="NO"). In case you didn't read the Magisk method, here is the recovery method...
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. I usually enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Reboot to recovery, go to Install and choose the universal installer zip, flash it.
4. Reboot
If you open a video in fullscreen mode and press the home button, it should open it in PiP mode. If you want to change some advanced settings, you can go to your Account (the round icon with your profile picture) -> Settings -> iYTBP Settings
3. Goodix & FPC - What are they
Goodix and FPC are two different types of fingerprint sensors (or rather sensor manufacturers). They both work in Android 8.1 builds. Custom kernels or mods may break the fingerprint sensor functionality.
4. Rooting
tl;dr: rooting NitrogenOS is the same as rooting any other custom rom, just flash Magisk, SuperSU, phh's superuser or anything else.
Now for the extended version.
Magisk:
Magisk is a great open-source root manager, developed by topjohnwu. It features a feature rich app, but most people prefer it because of it's "modules", packages which can do a bunch of things, from installing apps like Viper4AndroidFX or Dolby Atmos, to modifying system settings, like the volume steps increase. Magisk also features an option called "Magisk Hide", which can bypass Android's SafetyNet.
Check out the Magisk thread.
You can directly download the latest version of Magisk from https://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
SuperSU:
SuperSU is an alternative root manager. It used to be developed by Chainfire, but has recently been purchased by another company. I still prefer Magisk, but SuperSU is a great alternative for new users. My problem with it though is, that it is not open-source and the new buyer is pretty secretive so I don't really trust them.
Check out the SuperSU website for the download link.
phh's SuperUser:
Another open-source root manager, but the great thing about this one is, that it's very minimalistic and very small in size.
Check out the SuperUser thread and phh's Build Bot.
5. Google Apps (gapps)
Google apps are a vital part of custom roms. You might not know this, but AOSP and CM based roms are made from Google source code. Google actually makes Android open-source, but the Play Store and other Google apps are not. That's why roms like NitrogenOS do not come with the Play Store preinstalled. That is where Open Gapps come in. They are prepackaged apps, updated almost daily. They come in various sizes and versions, but they can all be flashed in TWRP like a normal zip file.
Platform: arm/arm64/x86/x86_64 - RN3 has an arm64 processor (Think of it as a 64-bit CPU for phones)
Android: 8.0/7.1/7.0... - This is the android version, NOS is Oreo based so choose 8.0 (Or 7.1 for Nougat) [Check below for OpenGapps 8.1]
Variant: This is where it gets complicated. There are a LOT of versions to choose from. For more in-depth resources check the OpenGapps' package comparison.
But OpenGapps are a lot more customisable, to the level where you can choose individual apps you want installed. The easiest way to do this, is to flash the Aroma package, which enables you to choose exactly which packages you want installed. Another option is to configure any of the selected packages using a gapps-config.txt file. You can learn more about that in the Advanced Features and Options section.
You can download daily builds for any Android version from https://opengapps.org/
6. TWRP (Recovery)
A recovery is a partition, used to flash files like ROMs, gapps and any other modifications. You do (in most cases) need an unlocked bootloader to use it. Unlocking your bootloader will not be described on this thread, as there are a lot of resources for our device.
Official TWRP - This is the official TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for our device
You can find the latest updates for TWRP on their website.
Red Wolf - This is a modified version of TWRP, my absolute favourite because of it's custom features.
Flashing TWRP:
If you don't have a custom recovery installed and you have unlocked your bootloader, then download the latest version of your preferred recovery and follow these steps:
1. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, or use sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot if you're on Linux.
2. Enable USB Debugging (Settings -> About phone -> Press "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options). You should find the Developer options in settings above "About Device". Find USB Debugging and enable it.
3. Connect your PC to the phone via a cable. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which will open CMD) or Terminal on Linux and type this (same for both OSs): adb devices. Select "Always allow on this computer" and confirm access on your phone.
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot/bootloader (By holding Power and Vol-, releasing the power button after a vibration and holding the Vol- button until you see the Xiaomi mascot).
5. Type (In CMD/Terminal): fastboot devices, to confirm if the phone has been recognised, then fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
6. After it has succesfully finished, remove the cable and reboot directly to recovery (Power and Vol+, release power after vibration, but keep holding the Vol+ button until you see the TWRP or RedWolf logo).
If you do already have a custom recovery installed and just want to update it, flash the .img or .zip file in your already installed recovery and select "Reboot to recovery".
7. NOS asks me for a password after flashing?!!?!?
This is actually not NitrogenOS's fault, it's a byproduct of your previous rom, most often MIUI. What this means is, that your internal storage is encrypted and the only way to fix this, is to backup everything on your internal storage, which you can do by connecting your phone to your pc while in recovery. You should be able to access the phone's storage and move the files from there. If you for some reason can't do that, you can still put in an sdcard and copy the files to it in TWRP. Bottom line, backup the files and then go to "Wipe" and find the "Format data" button. You might see a "wipe data" button, but this is not the same. When you "wipe data" you are wiping your system, cache, dalvik cache and data partitions, but formatting data will format your internal partition as well and thus remove the encryption.
You can finally reflash NOS and gapps or whatever other modification you want.
8. Firmwares
Check out this link to download the latest firmware for our device.
What is firmware? - It's what connects hardware to software (don't confuse it with a kernel). It's what, for example, makes the camera work.
Do I really need firmware - Yes (but it's already installed, even after completely wiping the stock rom, since it's on separate partitions).
Do I need the most up-to-date firmware - Actually no, the only difference you will notice is in the signal and WiFi strength. If yours are good enough, you don't need to update, otherwise feel free to download the newest version from the link above.
What is emmc_appsboot.mbn? - It's a bootloader update. Bootloader or fastboot is the partition in which you have unlocked your bootloader and flashed the recovery. If you have officially unlocked your bootloader, then you can flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn, but if you have unofficially unlocked your bootloader, do not flash these files as they will re-lock it. But you can still flash the version without emmc_appsboot.mbn.
Kenzo? Kate? - Kate devices are the same as kenzo ones but are a little bigger.
Some comparisons:
Kenzo
Size: 150 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 164g
Kate
Size: 152 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 167g
Model numbers:
Kenzo: 2015116
Kate: 2015161
Kate devices are 32/3 GB, and some kenzo devices are as well (some are 16/2 GB), not really sure about this part.
Global stable or developer? - Most people use developer roms, but again, this is not the actual ROM, just the firmware extracted from the rom, it doesn't really matter which one you choose.
When do I need to flash firmware? - If you're coming from MIUI8 (or 9), then you probably have the newest firmware. In this case you don't need to flash it, because MIUI roms already have firmware included in the update. If you're coming from a CM or AOSP based rom you also probably don't have to flash it, but I suggest you update it just in case. If your signal is good enough though, there really is no need.
9. How to flash the rom
Flashing is pretty straight forward. Just go to the Install section of TWRP and flash it like any normal zip, nothing special.
If you're coming from MIUI, then the full procedure is this:
1. Unlock your bootloader (google it, useless explaining it here)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Make a full device backup (Nandroid backup)
4. Copy or move all important files from the internal storage to an sdcard or your pc
5. Format data, or in other words, wipe EVERYTHING (excluding external storage) - This will delete all your photos and anything else in internal storage
6. Flash the latest NOS "test" build (Oreo)
7. Flash gapps (I recommend opengapps.org, check above)
8. Reboot to system
10. OTA?
What is OTA? - OTA means Over The Air (Update)
Does NOS have OTA? - Actually yes and no, newer updates (from March 2018 on) do have partial OTA (it does check for updates and notify you, while also giving a direct download link to SourceForge, but you will have to manually flash every update in your recovery.
What about incremental updates? - Sorry, but no. You'll have to download full packages every time. If you have a bandwidth cap then just download an update every week or two, you can check the changelog to see if you think it's worth updating to.
11. Google Camera
If you're having problems with the official Google Camera or just want some added features then look no further than modded camera apps. Check out this thread by emime12, it's very frequently updated and features a lot of different camera mods, including Google Camera, MIUI Camera, MOTO Camera and many more.
Recommended settings:
3x3 Grid - For better photos
I usually disable "Save location" and "Camera sounds"
Model: Pixel XL (corr) - default
Config camera HDR+: NEXUS 6
HDR+ parameters: Default
Panorama resolution: High
Advanced: Enable both
Experimental: I usually leave this disabled but it's your choice.
Back camera video resolution: UHD 4K (30 fps)
In case your camera doesn't work check if you have these two files and delete them:
/System/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
and
/System/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
Credits go to: @emime12 and Njaiker.
You can find more info about problems and updates on emime12's thread.
Settings may differ a lot, so check emime12's recommended or just test until you find ones that work for you
12. RAM Management - Low free RAM
Android's RAM (Read Only Memory) management doesn't work like Windows'. Android manages RAM very well, "Free RAM is wasted RAM" is a very common expression on XDA. Android loads the first couple of apps into the RAM and priorities the open one. More used ram means more apps loaded in ram which means faster load times. Don't worry about it too much and just enjoy the fast loading speeds.
13. VoLTE?
VoLTE should work on Android 8.1. Magisk, Viper or any other mods may break it.
14. Custom kernels
While there are a lot of custom kernels, I suggest you stick with the stock one, as it is made specifically for NOS and thus it is the most stable. If you still want a custom kernel, you can try Radon or Agni but they might break VoLTE or your fingerprint sensor.
Agni XDA Thread - By psndna88
Radon XDA Thread - By Umang96
15. Daily driver or not?
Yes, NitrogenOS Oreo is very stable, definitely enough for a daily driver. It is the best Oreo rom for our device (in my opinion), as it offers just the right amount of customization and stability.
15. GPS
Some users have reported low accuracy, but you should be fine if you turn on High Accuracy mode and/or install Faster GPS.
Update: In recent updates GPS shouldn't be a problem anymore as xyyx has fixed it, but some users have still reported low accuracy.
16. Viper4Android FX
(There may be other ways, but I haven't tested them yet so I can't confirm if they work) By far the easiest way to install Viper4Android FX is using Magisk. There is Magisk module called ViPER4Android FX Materialized. Download and install that module from the Magisk repo, choose your preferred installation option (By pressing Vol+ or Vol- to select which version you want installed and if you want it materialized - for newest materialized version press Vol+ 2 times) and finally reboot. Try playing some music and open the Viper app. Turn on the "Master Power" switch and the "Playback Gain Control" (the easiest way to tell if it worked). If after a little time the volume increases, it means that Viper4Android FX works. If not, press the three dots and choose "Exit" (without turning off the master power or gain control). Now open the app again and it should work. You can also check that in the side menu under "Driver status", if it's enabled and processing, then everything works.
You may or may not have to exit and re-enter the app after reboot to enable processing (in my case I had to).
I would show you my recommended settings (as requested), but to be honest I only use:
Headset
Viper Bass (Natural bass, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB)
Viper Clarity (Natural, 6 dB)
Sometimes I use Field surround with default settings
Phone speakers
eXtra loud (Slight, 4x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
Bluetooth device
Playback gain control (Moderate, 6x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
If I'm at a party with my bluetooth speaker I pump it up to Extreme and 8x max gain
Viper Bass (Natural, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB), 17 dB for parties
Viper Clarity (Natural, 3.5 dB)
I don't use equalizers or if I do, they are song-specific. I also don't USB/Dock, so I can't recommend anything there.
Of course these settings can vary depending on the song, so choose those, which you like the most and don't stick with just those I chose, try all the functions to see which you prefer.
17. AdAway (Root)
AdAway is a great open-source root ad blocker, which can automatically download and update sources and works by adding those to the hosts file. It work well on the internet, but also inside apps (most of the time).
Check out the official AdAway website. You can also download it from F-Droid.
Adaway v3.2 (60) (direct download link)
Adding custom host sources:
Go to "Host sources" and add your own sources or check out these: AdAway's host sources
Be careful when adding all of them, since some can block legitimate links like goo.gl.
AdAway also offers an option to scan for Adware, which can be found under "Scan for adware". This will bring up a new window, press "Start scanning". If you don't need/want the mentioned apps you can uninstall them, but AdAway can't block their ads.
You can also check out my recommended settings:
wow,really appreciated that sir., it is very helpful specially for those who wanted to try, flashing rom or any mods on their device like me. thanks and keep up the good work sir God bless!
i think i can add up little bit here.
1) u r on miui & u want to flash nitrogen so u go to recovery and backup ur current rom in case if u dont like nitrogen u can restore back to miui with all ur setting & app. now assume u r on nitrogen, after 4-5 days u dont like nitroge & u decided to come back to miui, so u go to recovery and restore yr backup that u have taken earlier. after success booting the screen with pin or password will appear. so u would enter/guess any previous password, pin u used earlier but it will not open. here the real problem come. i have also faced same issue & got upset searching endless solution on google . u will get mad on u. security bypass will also not work. after spending endless hour i come with solution. download aroma zip search on net. flash it through recovery this will help u to get in system its ike file manager. then head to data, system and delete all file u see below
locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal, gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key
and then restart, yr problem would be solve.
2) nitrogen os does not support video calling via jio. none custom rom other then then miui support.
3)xposed is not available for oreo.
4)i have used nitrogen oreo for about 2 weeks it is stable but not as miui. some time r net would not work, jio call drop, lagging u have to restart on every time u faced problem. i suggest that wait for some time to roll out nought port for kenzo with zero bug & this will happen soon.

@Aditya1011 Mate, what happened? No reply? Huh. Latest firmware. No magisk, no any kind of root. No sound mod. Still Volte not working on 2nd Sim on 3 different Kenzos.
@JustMeErazem Please include in your post that VoLTE is indeed buggy.

Sim card detection issue
Sometimes nitrogen os Oreo does not detect sim cards after reboot so I changed ROM and installed aosp extended. I know that Xyyx has already mentioned this as bug. Due to this bug it is not daily driver. Hope xyyx will fix this as soon as possible. If you have solution, please share it.

Dude, it's really not a big problem, it detects it like 95% of the time. Just reboot and you're done. Or wait about 2 min and it should detect it. You could also just remove the sim and reinsert it. But since the latest few updates for me it gets detected 100% of the time. So update to 28/10/2017 build and you should be fine.
@JustMeErazem You're giving flase info. to others saying that VoLTE works on both sim. Actually, it works only on first sim. Tried, tested on 3 different Kenzo's. Clean flashed.
Conclusion: VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd sim.
I guess global version will come within 2 days.

Step by Step Guide - Android 8.0 Chinese beta. Clean/dirty flash lock/UL BL.
Hello Guys,
To make things easy heres a step by step guide to install the chinese oreo beta on locked/unlocked Bl for the 5T
So I got my hands on the android oreo chinese beta (H2OS) and flashed it on my oneplus 5t which was on a locked bootloader and running stable 4.7.6 with star wars theme enabled. Here's a step by step guide to install H2os Oreo beta rom wtihout losing any data.
WARNING : BACKUP - BACKUP - BACKUP and flash at your own risk. I would not be responsible for any loss.
METHOD 1 : FOR LOCKED/UNLOCKED BL BUT WITH STOCK RECOVERY
1) Download the rom from this link : https://goo.gl/4nPrxx
2) Ensure you have backed up all your important data and make sure you have atleast 50% battery.
3) Copy the downloaded zip to phones internal memory (make sure its in the main directory and not in any folder.
4) Go to settings > system updates > top right hand corner tap the settings icon > tap local upgrade > tap on the downloaded file > tap update now and wait for it to finish installing the update. ( first boot will take 8 to 10 minutes so please dont panic.
5) Once first boot is done you may have a force close for 1 or 2 apps just uninstall them and reinstall from the play store and you are good to go. Also star wars theme continues to work and all basic functions work as expected.
6) If you want a clean install or having many force closures please perform a factory reset and everything should be resolved.

This a translation of the update. I used g translate. :good:
It seems to run OK. Obviously some stuff is still in Chinese. I tried to flash TWRP and TWRP booted but even after a clearing cache/Div the ROM then would not boot. I just got a white light.
For initial install I did a complete data format then loaded the stock recovery ,and the latest stable OOS, then flashed the Chinese O.. You do need to pull a PlayStore .APK and reload all the Google apps after a flash.
Unless this one is different than the one they have on their main site, it's not Oreo. I flashed it, tried flashing Gapps and Gapps said I had to flash appropriate Gapps for 7.1 :/
Very nice. Thanks for the write-up!
Already open beta 3 now.

I have a LG-G3 D855 Europe version with 16GB internal storage and 2GB RAM
I read that the main camera doesn't work on the D855 (European version), is that correct?
What else doesn't work when Android 11 is on it?
I have a LG-G3 D855 Euro version with 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM.
At the moment I have Fulmix ROM 6.9 installed (is Android Marshmallow 6) and thus also rooted.
So I could then install the new TWRP 3.5 and then the ROM Lineage OS 18.1 afterwards, proceed as described or do I have to pay attention to something else?
Thanks for the hints and tips
Installed... no WLAN on my LG G3 D855 with Lineage 18.1
Ok, now I've set everything up successfully, on my almost 7-year-old LG-G3-D855 with only 32 GB of memory and still a poor 32-bit device.
The WLAN settings required that I had to switch the WLAN encryption to WPA2 CWP on the AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe.
It's sad that such an Android 11 as Lineage 18.1 doesn't get along with normal settings in the Fritzbox as WPA2/WPA3. Didn't the developers pay attention again? something like that is allowed with Android 11 !!! not happen.
Even my old Fulmics 6.9 ROM could work perfectly with the Fritzbox 6660 Frotz OS 7.29 in 2.4 and 5 GHz mode, only Lineage 18.1 can't do anything with it. Already very sad.
But ok, I solved the problem and now the front and rear cameras work as well. I still have to look for an icon pack for the surface, the normal icons look terrible!
Glad you did it.
I don't remember having troubles with Camera.
I can't help about this AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe thing. I don't know this.
Hello friend, I have installed this ROM, but testing it, I verify that it does not record video. I have tried other apps such as Open Camera or even the LG Camera apk and the same problem still does not record video. At first I even did a factory reset to see but it still can't record video, do you know any solution or is it because it's the latest version of official Lineage OS that I flashed, what version does the video camera work with? Thank you.

I had Fulmix 8 and proceed this tutorial and it went well. I wanted Lineage because with Android 6 there are many apps that no longer run. The problem with Lineage OS is that the video camera does not record.

I fixed it by updating Google Play Services, Play Store and Framework and rebooting.
