New user, need "help"! - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hello guys!
After one month with the Mate 10 Pro i decided to switch to 1+6T, 256/8gb version. I just ordered my phone so i'm still waiting for it, but i would like to see some opinions about what should i do with the phone in the start. Tweaks, things, what version of android shoul i install, and eveything else you thinks is usefull. Thanks!

Welcome to the OnePlus Family :highfive:
Have a look around and the best practice is to read. If you are a pro user you can unlock and root your device. There are 2 software branches right now, Stable & Beta , both are daily driver material. You can install any of these, just follow post 3 for flashing instructions :good:
See you around :highfive:

Thanks a lot! In fact, thats the point i'm giving the Mate 10 Pro to my mother and switching to 1+6T. I'm not a "really" pro user, but i love playing and trying more things on a phone. Switching roms, root things and other stuff like that. I'm sick of the lack of updates on Huawei too... And emui sometimes drive me crazy. Clean android ftw! I only hope the battery will be good enough because i use a lot Facebook and Instagram, apps that were killing Huawei's battery... ? I would like to know if stable Pie is release for this model. Thanks in advice!

This device is Pie out of the box and there has been a few updates as well. Both stable and beta are made on 9.0 platforms. As mentioned above there are seperate threads running on stable and beta releases and you can follow any one. For better battery life I would recommend to stick to stable for a while and have a look around.

[POLL] Custom/Stock ROM Discussion - Performance, Functionality, Bugs: Which is best?

Hey folks!
So I decided to create an overview thread on current custom and stock ROMs for our beloved Mate 8 in order to give users like me a better decision basis on what to flash / try out next
Your input is appreciated! Tell the community about your experiences with any ROMs uve tried thus far, be it custom or stock! Especially facts about battery life, performance, overall system fluidity, bugs and functionality are important here. Also dont forget to include your hardware and software base in each case
For an easier overview I´ve also created a poll including current custom ROMs as well as the latest stock firmware iterations as of April 16th, 2016.
Enjoy!
The question in itself is wrong
care to elaborate?

For knowing wich is best, we need to try them all. And no one try them all. So we probably juste vote what rom we have right now on our phone.
Fonctionnality, its you to decide what is usefull or not for you.
It also depends on features. Some people like more things in the KangVIP based roms and some like something stock. Some people feel like the International roms are better or faster and some feel like the Chinese ones are. You need to try them all for yourselves and see which one you like best. I put a lot of time into my roms as does Ephemera and everyone else. We want there to be a choice instead of just one custom rom or none. Plus you can find out this info by visiting the respective thread for each rom and reading through the posts.
Thank you for creating this poll. I will be receiving my L29 mate 8 in the mail soon and I would love to know which of these roms support Esperanto as a system wide language, basically my phone is all in Esperanto as my Linux computer is. This phone looks amazing and i cant wait to get it

of course theres always going to be different opinions and different focus on different features also, i never said that voting for a specific rom automatically makes all other roms bad! thats why this thread is for, so users can elaborate on their experience and tell the community what they prefer.

same here, neither i nor anyone else expected every user to have tried every single rom before giving his or her opinion here. if it were such a perfect world then the size of xda would shrink to 1% of its current size due to users being well informed and actually using the search function properly before posting or opening up new threads
again, this is just meant to be an opportunity to discuss and compare different roms, nothing more, nothing less and it goes without saying that any dev's contribution is appreciated here, the more the merrier!
cheers

well, i wouldve thought by now a lil bit more discussion going down, at least some ppl took part in the poll[emoji14]cmon guys, dont be lazy!

I think I tried them all, I am on al10 and I am currently on L29 stock C185B180. In my opinion it's the best ROM thus far, it's not the best in term of battery life (still decent) but everything is working flawlessly. Themes apply correctly, and I no longer have issues with notifications. Thanks for the poll!
Hmm. "Ephemenal" Mate 8 sounds pretty nice . @ajsmsg78 is completely right here, there is no perfect ROM since every person prefers something over the other. In our mate 8's case these ROMs are here to give a choice since they are all stock based but have different modifications. Everyone enjoys their cup of coffee a certain way but its still the same coffee, one cup is filled with sugar, one with creamer, one with both, and the last with nothing; you drink the cup of Joe you enjoy best.
oops, my bad! misread

Advice for a stable, updateable ROM for the ZUK Z2 Pro please

Good afternoon everyone. I'm a total (and I mean TOTAL) novice and haven't a clue about hardware, software or firmware, so please be kind.
I bought a ZUK Z2 Pro off Ebay. I like it. It looks nice, it's pretty fast, the battery lasts ages, it's a good size in the palm of your hand and it's got loads of storage.
However, I live in the UK and it's come with this 1.9.104 ST version of ZUI which I believe is some custom ROM installed by resellers to make it compatible for international markets. It's terrible and doesn't do half of what the phone's supposed to do. What's worse, I believe there'll never be any updates on it, so it's likely to be extreme vulnerable from a security point of view. I want to be able to customise the phone so I get the type of functionality I used to get with my OnePlus One.
I'm not interested in becoming a programmer and I don't want to have to keep wiping my phone every time some new ROM comes along, but I just want a ROM that's not going to crash and at least alerts me when I've missed a call (which doesn't happen with the crappy ROM I have now). I want to get an update to Nougat when that comes to the Z2, but it looks like I won't be able to do that either given I don't get any OTA update notifications.
I'll need the Play Store integrated too, of course. Any advice or recommendations for a version that I can use, is in English and will deliver some updates when I need to get them?
Thanks in advance.

Use the cm Rom from Emmaus, on zukfans.eu. It's very stable. At the moment only the vibration isn't working.

This one - https://emmaus.pro/?dir=Zuk Z2 Pro/CM13
Thanks guys - this is very helpful.
One more daft question for the experts: given the review of the regular ZUK Z2 (ie: not the Pro that I've got) I've read today on Trusted Reviews, which highlighted the same problems I have, is there any real issue with installing the regular official up-to-date version of ZUI from ZUK themselves, and then selecting English as a language?
If I did so, I presume that means I won't have the Google Play Store integrated? Assuming that's the case, is there a way round it?
Thanks again, and apologies if all of this is blindingly obvious to you guys. As I say, I'm pretty much a babe in the woods about this stuff (I once tried installing Oxygen OS on my OnePlus One and failed to the extent I just threw it in a cupboard and bought a new phone).

If you want to stick to zui, you could also head to zukfans.eu, there is a global rom with multilanguage and integrated Google play services
So, since November, is there a better suggestion for a stable, updateable ROM for ZUK2 PRO?
I find it very difficult to find one that is not broken. And I don't mind minor broken stuff like vibration, but things like camera or not being able to call, that's important.
I was collaborating with the one from Edgrr000 and emmaus in https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/rom-lineageos-wip-t3551507 but it looks like it is abandoned now.

thank god i'm not the only one finding that a €300+ device should just work and nothing else
Feel free to use the Stock rom. Everything work as it should do.
Or use at least this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/z2-pro-miui-8-touch-drivers-support-t3520833
As the first post says, I am also a novice and dont understand terms like flashing, rooting, TWRP, Qfil etc (I know I m dumb).
I had bought a zuk z2 pro, still on its way, from a supplier who installed a multilanguage custom rom. I tried to read threads here and on the zukfans eu and honestly I m getting more confused...some say stock rom is the best, others mention cyanogenmod etc.....All I need is the english language and google play...does that mean stock rom is enough? will it update automatically to nougat 7?...and another important question...how am I going to remove the custom rom to the stock rom? would that be safe? thanks
Stock ROM is Chinese and had some English translation. A load of things are still Chinese. So far I'm happy with mokee 7.1. A good translation and almost no Chinese stuff
just got mine today with global rom and android 6.0. The gallery app crashed all the time so i flashed it with stock rom and android 7.0. the stock rom has to much chinese for me so looking for a new rom. whats the best and most stable out there at this date?
after this very good tutorial, I finally got myself out of this zuk-whatever-it-is-OS... and I love Mokee.
running MK60.1-z2pro-170403-RELEASE.zip with ease and smile, and I do not think a sec to switch back to ZUI.
tnx, think i'll do that. can't get contacts from gmail to dialer or change launcher. i'll try mokee before i downgrade the phone to a musicplayer
@boygav, i suggest zui v2.3.044 ST very smooth, stable and fully functional...just root and remove chinese apps and u r good to go... I can guidde u if u need assistance
I recommend you the Mokee 7.1.1.
Everything work great (but no u-health and u-touch).
I made a tutorial to install this ROM from the beginning
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/how-to/howto-install-mokee-7-1-1-unofficial-t3582686
ROM page :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/rom-share-lr-team-zuk-z2row-z2-pro-t3567710
Why not use easily official download site?!
https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=z2pro
Every time up2date and no need to uplaod anywhere!
When I installed my Mokee, there was no Official Mokee version.
So now you can installed the nightly one from official download. But I don't know if everything works well like the unofficial.

Apologies for the delay guys. Nick - I may well take you up on your offer. The security on this ROM is pretty hopeless - I was being spammed really badly with pop-ups the other day there (and it was nothing I'd downloaded or installed either - my browsing history is pretty spotless, I like to think). Seemed the phone had just installed something overnight.
If you have an absolute idiot's guide to installing this and what the hell rooting actually involves, I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks.

Just bought a Mate 8

Gold L29 - yay!
OK, I'm an Android phone snob. Chronic flasher, thought I'd only buy Nexus devices. Pixel XL not good enough for me. As much of a Google fan I am, that device is not an upgrade and looks like an iPhone. I'm keeping my Nexus 6, have Verizon grandfathered unlimited data, the Mate 8 will be a new play phone for me and wanted something flashy (LOL) with a BIG screen. I bought a pretty crystal butterfly grip/stand which will look so cool with the gold. Looks like a great device.
Was waiting for the Mate 9, but couldn't wait any more and seems the 9 isn't a huge upgrade from the 8. Processor looks better but I think I'll be happy with the 8, then wait for the 10 hoping that they make a little improvement with the screen resolution (I know it's not a huge difference to the eye, but still...).
I'm excited to unlock and root this thing, looks like the guides are pretty strong. Reading a lot on the ROM/tool options. Haven't unlocked bootloader on a device or rooted for 2 years since my N6....should be interesting. Not a large amount of development but I think I'll be happy here and will have a new hobby.
Welcome aboard!

Hi,
I can sense the happiness in your writing I feel the same too. Just purchased Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10 few days back. As soon I received my phone, I updated it to Android Nougat and the results are outstanding.
Phone is so much better. Battery life is fantastic. I already crossed 10 hour mark (screen on time) twice so far easily. Features are all working. I was bit sad not to find "double tap to wake up" by default even though I found few apps on google play store which fulfill this requirement. I was pleasantly surprised to find Call recording available even without root. Fingerprint feature is new for me, my previous phones didn't have it so I am really enjoying this feature. Camera is good too. Overall, Huawei did a brilliant job with this phone. There are so many reasons to smile with this phone. It is perfect in every way.
Huawei Mate 9 seems to have a better processor, GPU and camera. At the moment, it is expensive for me but I hope I am able to purchase it in coming months . I love Android phones, tablets and high performance laptops. I used to flash a lot with Samsung phones and tablets few earlier but I reduced it significantly over the years. And at the moment I am just having loads of fun with Mate 8 with Nougat I am sure you will have plenty of fun too once you update to Nougat. I highly recommend updating to Nougat to everyone. It is really awesome on this phone.
Cheers!

Hi,
You are right. There are bugs.
I have NXT-AL10 there are two more updates after B562. B573 and B575. They are slightly ok. I don't know what is the equivalent version of that for your model L29.But you might find minor improvements in the updates.
Can you take a screenshot of settings-> account e-mail>"add account" page?

So I spent several hours today with my Mate 8 unlocking bootloader and rooting. It was a little tricky, primarily with drivers issues - every device is different with unlocking/rooting. The whole DC unlocker and reading bootloader code - what fun!
So now I have a Mate 8 with unlocked bootloader and rooted...now what to do? Now I'm researching the different ROM options, nougat, etc. It still seems tricky with the encryption thing and the builds/versions thing and isn't as straight forward!
Back...to the boards.... LOL.
Love the device -- glad I got this thing.
just bought one a few hours ago today. replaced my (absolutely ****e battery life) 6P guess I know which board I will be on all night long tonight

If you're going to unlock and root it, give a shout if you run into any problems. I made it through but a few hiccups along the way.
Now the decision is what ROM to do!!!
It can get a bit tough especially with the bootloader code stuff. I recently did it myself and flashed it to L29c636b211 from c636b320 both stock and its running incredibly smooth and fast. Battery life is very solid as well.

Feel so embarrassed, the part on the bootloader code reading that got me what I thought I was all set when clicking Unlock OEM in developers settings and thought I didn't need to call in to change to manufacturer mode, but after a couple hours I realized I needed to do that! I'm glad though that I didn't wait the 14 days to get the code - seriously my impatience is worse than the $4.
If anyone has opinions on what ROM to flash please share. After the unlocking and rooting I'm ok with setting with a rooted stock Mate 8, but I'll get restless soon..... LOL.

i don't know why but i just got a feeling that you are flashoholic just like me, i was ok with stock rooted rom, but i needed to try something else, to change things a bit, so i had to flash nougat, and after that i found my self wanting to root, and i did it, so i am on rooted nougat Rom, i am so glad i did it, but still want more Lol

How did you get to nougat ROM? I am on l29. I am not clear how to get to any ROM given encryption and different builds and what you have to flash back to. Lol.

well i'm on L09 but the diference is just the model files everything else must be identical, the steps i followed are the following: 1- install twrp in your current emui version which i guess in your case should be 4.0 2- download the nougat Rom and the data file for your model and put it on your sd card 3-flash the rom first and then the data file (so far you are still encrypted but as you are using the sd card to flash the files then twrp is able to see them) 4- after you flash both of the files you will boot to nougat and can complete the initial settup process 5- now to get root (optional) you can flash twrp for nougat using fastboot and then the recommended supersu, the thread to do that is located somewhere in the development forum if i am not mistaken.... i know it was quite lenghthy but those are the steps i followed.

Thanks - very helpful! Helps me to understand the steps better.
I'm still reading about the ROM options - KangVIP, Twisted, Nougat...to see what I want to try first. :silly:
Keep us posted on what rom you try. Im also looking into nougat roms but have read so far they are not fully stable yet. My current rom, b211, runs perfect for me so i dont want to run into issues with essentially beta builds.

Nice.
Enjoy :good:
Cool I'm also interested in the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. I think it's a great phone but I'm not sure if it's good for CustomROMs. What do you think? Are Huawei phones more closed or are there many CustomROMs?

Quite honestly you most likely won't need to do any custom ROM flashing as it's already good out of the box, haven't done anything to my Mate 9 ever since I purchased it few months back, I'm a flash junkie but this is my first device where I didn't have to flash a ROM. You can go ahead and root it and enjoy the phone as is
Now to answer your question, it's a risky process to get to even flash a custom ROM on these things i know the Mate 9 has that risk idk about the 10 but I'm sure it's the same ordeal, hence why you don't see much ROM development

Yeah for me a good software support is essential. I don't want to buy a new device after 2 years just because the vendor stops shipping updates. I mean, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is expensive and I don't want to spend €800 every two years just because of a lack of software support. So I'm still not sure if I should buy a Mate 10 Pro but I think it's probably not the best fit for me.

If you want constant ROM development even after 2 years get a Pixel 2 or something along those lines, expensive but worth it IMO
Hey does it have DT2W on lockscreen? I asked many ppl but no one had the exact answer.
No, I have not found it
Some interesting things with 4G
And others with audio or Huawei Histen

This will not work. OneUI requires the Samsung framework.
Why oh why? Better sell and buy samsung if this is a must have feature

Confused ?
Samsungs OS is heavy and a bit of a mess, porting it would be hit and miss even with talent and a lot of time.
I think I can save you the bother though.
It's not a very good OS.
Plus if you've give OnePlus a few years they'll probably have copied it completely.
Nah I'm joking, but it is a crap OS, buy a Samsung if you want a Samsung. It's the best way and probably the only way.
Samsung = bull**** overload. They are the leaders of bloatware.
I still using it Samsung Note 10+ 5g if Oxygen OS can be ported to the phone. More. The Note 10 section is allmost only for exynox models and 1,2 topics about the better european model, with Snapdragon..
Oos ob2 rom.zip = 2.8gb
OneUI 2.5 rom.zip - 5.8 gb (talking about Bloatware...)
must be the dumbest question I've heard it a while? u want a bloated software sell op and get ur urself this samsung phone
It's easy to make rum free of bloatware apps. I have experience in this regard, but I have no knowledge of ROM port.
Everyone shamed this topic but I'll also be happy if someone manage to port it. I'm not dev but I try to help.

Website looks semi ok, only way anyones going to know is for someone to give it a go.
If it works then you're a hero.
If they've managed to get the Sammy stuff to work then bravo, that's awesome

It could very well be a load of crap.
Like I said, you'd be a hero if it works.
But you could also be a bad exercise
