This a fake - isn't it? Oreo 8.1 on Yotaphone 2 can't believe that's true - YotaPhone

This is a real Guide from neodapsi or just a setup?
I guess I can't find a good ROM there...
Anyway, what is your recommendation to get the YD206 to a newer (only if better and fully functional) ROM aside from the 4.4.3 it came with.
OTA doesn't seem to discover updates - or would you guys recommend to stay where I am?

I believe there is an Official Marshmallow rom floating about.
It works great, not much support otherwise if you want the 2nd screen...

there is a KK version (what you have), lollipop version, and marshmallow version. what you have is by far the most stable, the marshmallow version has the most features, and the lollipop version is a good in between. im using the marshmallow version right now

move to 5.0.2 now or wait?

Hi guys
I am currently at 4.4.4 CM11, M12.
I really like the system but have problems with audio, it is described in another thread and not point of this.
I am thinking of going to 5.0.2, perhaps Resurrection Remix.
One thing that hinders me is... an OS has to be stable and reliable (tell that Microsoft) so I used to wait a litte before moving onto a new version or even trying.
I am quite satisfied with CM, but I dont use a lot of the features.
No themes, no lockscreen customization, no ART. I use status bar customization, clock with date and so on.
Is it wise to move to 5.0.2 now?
Are all minor bugs fixed every new OS version has?
Is ART or Dalvik the standard machine?
5.0.1 is the latest official release for the N4, unless 5.0.2 came out this morning. At the moment, 5.0.2 is only out for the N7 2012. That said, I have been running 5.0.1 without issue, and phone runs like butter. I would recommend it.

Lollipop 5.1.1 or Marshmallow 6.0.1

Hey guys
I want to ask you a few things, i have installed a 6.0.1 custom rom on my J500M, too nice but yesterday a picked up the J5 of a friend and it has 5.1.1 and it was "faster" that my installed custom rom.
The question is that what do you prefer
5.1.1 or 6.0.1??
Wich is faster??
What do you thing
I have J500FN. It doesn't have MM update and I won't use MM even if it would have because I don't need to change from 5.1.1.
If features from latest version can be achieved on previous one, then I don't see a point in upgrading as long as you're good with the actual version.
Performance of phone can be downgraded by using crap apps like Facebook, Messenger and so on. Also, Xposed can make the phone slow.
Latest android version doesn't mean always better.
My opinion.
Tnks, i´ll downgrade too lollipop, i decided because MM isn´t the best friend of tocuhwiz, i prefer lollipop touchwiz rom
I upgraded my J500H to 6.0.1. And after few days of use I downgraded back to 5.1.1. There isn't much new things in 6.0.1 and I felt that my device is faster in 5.1.1. So prefer 5.1.1 & again this is my personal view others may disagree with me.
Marshmallow has heating problem ...so I had to downgrade to lollipop after using it ...but I am sure that battery life of marshmallow is way better than lollipop
no heating issue whatsoever , great battery life . security updates to keep malware away. what else could you wish for

Recommendation for a stable Marshmallow ROM with a few features please.

I know these ROM request threads are posted and I apologize for not having found the answer myself. :/
I'm currently using AICP_Clark_lp-10.0-NIGHTLY-20151124 (Android 5.1.1) on my XT1575 and just need a newer ROM for a variety of reasons I'm sure.
I'm not sure what advantages Marshmallow has to Lollipop but I've heard updates to LTE on the Moto X Pure were pushed out at some point by Motorola (and I have terrible reception by my house). I'm also hoping to improve battery life.
-I want to continue using Xposed framework (which I think I can do on Marshmallow).
-Stable camera, bluetooth, wifi, etc (obviously)
-Notification light behind top speaker. I have this on my current ROM (AICP_Clark_lp-10.0-NIGHTLY-20151124) so I hope it exists on newer ones.
-Magisk or something similar for root. I'm currently using superSU and would like to be able to hide root from certain apps (Pokemon GO).
I'm using StraightTalk via AT&T (and like I said, am having terrible LTE issues and all around terrible reception in rural areas near walls...? I'm really not sure what the issue is).
Thanks for the suggestions.
Since you are on Lollipop, you should first go back to stock Marshmallow and get up to a version with a security patch up towards the end of 2016... This will get you on the correct bootloader, partition table, and radios, after that just flash the latest TWRP and the ROM of your choice... The radios in Marshmallow are much better than Lollipop, but as far as battery goes you won't see any real difference regardless of ROM or Android version, the screen often takes 70+% of the battery of this device and that is just the way it is, no software change will effect that.
To be honest, most custom ROM's do not support Xposed except stock, so stay simple like the a version of CM13 or the last version of Marshmallow Dirty Unicorns, but most Marshmallow ROMs for the X are extremely stable and solid. Note many Marshmallow ROMs are not being developed or even maintained anymore either, but almost all will provide the few requirements you have.

Moto X Pure (XT1575) Nougat Update and Custom ROMs

I currently have a Moto X Pure with ResurictionRemix (7.1.2) on it, with the last version of stock being the last Marshmallow update. Would there be any benefit to update the phone to stock Nougat (updating the bootloader, modem, etc.) and install another custom rom onto the phone, or will that cause issues (unable to install a custom rom). Thank you for your time.

So not that it would cause issues if you upgraded to 7.0 then to a custom ROM... It literally isn't possible. Honestly if I were you I'd stick on custom ROMs. Going back to stock to upgrade to stock 7.0 will be a huge pain in the ass if you ever wish to go back to custom ROMs again. Honestly, not really a benefit to stock 7.0, and I wouldn't recommend especially if you wanted to change back again if you didn't enjoy stock 7.0.
So what I'm saying is you can't upgrade to stock 7.0, then to a custom ROM, as none are compatible with the new bootloader introduced with stock nougat. And to revert to stock 6.0 from stock 7.0 is kinda sketchy...just read around the help forum for this phone here to know what I mean
Sorry for the formatting, hope that makes sense
There's only 1 custom ROM (check the Lineage 14.1 thread) that works with the 7.0 firmwares that anybody has made public. I don't seem to have much free time to work on getting any of my builds to work on 7.0 firmware. So if you want to upgrade to 7.0 you get stock or Lineage 14.1. Not that there were a lot of options before.

Is it possible to downgrade Nexus?

I'm now using Android Oreo, but I'm considering installing unofficial Android system to my Nexus. I'd like to try Android Oreo or android Nougat. But the thing is I'm afraid that my phone may be laggy or buggy.
According to the post for Nougat port, the camera doesn't work well on the system.
So I'm wondering if I can downgrade to my Android Lollipop in case I can't stand the new system.
Thanks!
You can switch ROMs back and forth at any time, just make sure you make backups and always do a clean flash. Custom ROMs are always a subject to bugs so go for the most stable one you can find which would be Lineage OS.

There are many rock stable Nougat ROMs available for mako and you can easily find them on xda. Even some of the Oreo ROMs are stable enough to be daily drivers...
And yes, you can downgrade or upgrade the versions as you wish (that's the benefit of having a Nexus phone, isn't it?)
