HI all, its very confusing all development is on android 8.0+ we are having to reflash firmwares multiple times and reboots just to get the network to temporarily work and loose manual camera2API controls, why are we not still improving and working on nougat which seems to be the last version before we loose functionality?
if i am missing something obvious please can someone let me know as i am stuggling to find any sort of up-to-date rom! most recent i can find is MOKEE 13/12/18
thanks in advance, i would just like to have an up to date improved rom without having network or camera issues

Hello,
Please, I tried so many customs roms but for stability reasons a come back to stock rom. I flashed the last 6.0.1 stock rom from Poland 2016-10-06.
Everything was perfect until I tried the IR (infrared) sensor. I usually use the "SURE" app. Today I tried so many others apps but anyone works! I spoke with other friends and they said the same: IR and reactivation lock it's not working anymore in this update!!!
PLEASE, someone have some advice to fix this ? I'm liking the battery and spend so many time putting my apps... I don't wanna change the rom...
Thank you very much in advance!
I am currently on MIUI 7, the one just before it updates to MIUI 8. What I want to know is, what is the best possible custom rom I can flash to that will work with this device? I have Team Win Recovery 3.0.0.0 installed.
I have installed Redmi 2 2014811 for my casual user (no root or else) with this base rom : miui_HM2XWCProGlobal_V8.0.7.0.LHJMIDG_3240991baf_5.1.zip via CWM

Cool thanks, I will look up the rom. I thought about Android 6 or 7, but see those still have some major issues here and there.

Major issues?which ROM r u talking about?there are so many ROMs those are pretty stable.Only minor bugs(miui also have this)
BTW devs work very hard for these ROMs and they got nothing but our thanks and encouragement. These custom ROMs are way better in performance and customization than sluggish and heavy MIUI rom.
My phone is 8months old and this phone is still with me because of efforts of devs.
So don't be so demanding about 200% no bug and be thankful to them.

Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful. I worked on Windows Mobile roms back in the day so know what type of work goes into it. I have only started to look at custom roms today and am so completely lost, guess I chose the wrong word being major. When i said major I had camera and Gps in mind, as I saw some of those roms had issues with those. So again, no disrespect meant from my side and I apologize if It came out that way. I was just kind of hoping someone could bump me in the right direction. The last time this phone was flashed the previous owner flashed it in such a way that the sim card could not be detected, after fixing that I flashed a MIUI rom, but that was sort of the Chinese version and stuff like google services did not work properly and push notifications would not work unless you turn the phone on and go into the app. So yeah if you can point me in the right direction I will appreciate it a lot.

Video recording was a issue for Nougat based ROM but it has been fixed.And about gps, it is working fine (i like to use waze)with Marshmallow based ROM.I don't know about nougat as I didn't fully moved to nougat.I have downloaded Tesla (N) and sodamod(cm 14) today .So I will report you soon about GPS in Nougat.
Till now I have tried cm(M),RR(M),DU(M),Tesla(M),orion(M),zephyre(M),AICP(M),AOKP(M).Most of them has kept my expectation.Now I am on project-x(M).It is also suberb with almost no problem.
If you want to stick with miui based then there is also"thunder-miui" by @gkalen.
Try these ROMs and see which is suitable for you.I like to stick with cm based for C.M.T.E.
Edit:-GPS works fine in nougat.
Lollipop (5.x) - CM 12.1
Marshmallow (6.x) - MoKee
Nougat (7.x) - I only tested Suda not good for daily driver
Hello,
It's been almost a little over a year since I was last really into android customization. Since it's been so long it has become clear to me that my phone is outdated in many ways. I'm still running OxygenOS 2.2.1 with Android 5.1.1. I've been wanting to update up to Android N (7.x.x) for a long time now, but haven't seen any real stable roms or haven't really had the time to look for one. Now I've finally found my self with free time and ready upgrade my rom. I've just faced couple of problems, I can't really find what should I do when upgrading from 5.1.1 to 7.x.x since no-one is really doing that anymore. I remember reading sometime back that if you dont have the right firmwares you'll brick ur phone, and I wouldn't really want to go through that hassle at the moment. Is it still a thing or should it be just fine for me to flash a new rom just on top of this? (Ofc with clearing memory etc) Other question that is in my mind is that is there any critical bugs in Android N roms? It's bit unclear to me since there are such many roms that have their status as work in progress or beta etc, but some roms have status as stable. Are there any roms that I should clearly avoid? Im not new to this so I don't really need any deep info how to do everything etc, just a bit of a oversight on how things are going atm.
Thanks.
first of all is ur device rooted?? If yes then install the latest twrp recovery...then take a backup.. and flash any nougat rom which u like...If at all u would need Volte support then u l have to flash the 3.5.7 firmware..or else the 3.1.0 firmware works fine with most of the nougat roms..some nougat roms i would recommend are AICP, Resurrection Remix and AOSP extended .... In my suggestion u should probably first upgrade the Oxygen Os on ur device through official updates via OTA atleast upto the 3.5.6 firmware
there's no need to update until 3.5.6, unless you aren't going to plan staying with OOS [the only "stable" firmware which provides you VoLTE working, but it's still M-based and not N].
as @mhd athiq said, unlock your bootloader [just in case you still haven't done it before] then update your TWRP recovery to the latest version.
then flash the incrementals OTAs until OOS 3.1.x and you are good to go to flash any custom ROM which is N-based.
to avoid any mistake, please make a EFS backup via terminal [just to have a backup of your modems] and save the files to a safe location.
I don't have a specific ROM to suggest to you, but in my experience I have found the CAF/AOSP-based ones to be the ones with the best battery backup and less bugs then LOS-based ones.
I have used happily for a few months CypherOS version 3.5.1 [not the latest one, I find it quite unstable as the developers tried to implement OMS].
sidenote:
flashing N-based custom ROMs upon OOS 3.5.6 firmwares gives random reboots and unstable network in many cases/scenarios.
so don't update to that OOS version unless you have a mandatory VoLTE feature required [but you'll have to live with random reboots and poor network stability].
Hi I've done a clean install on i9505 jfltexx and NFC's not working. I've put on latest weekly and latest micro opengapps, I can launch Android Pay but there's no tap. I've installed loads of different NFC tools and tried to read contactless cards, RFID alarm tags and another NFC phone but my phone just doesn't acknowledge them. I've tried several different batteries known to work with NFC, so I'm stumped. I saw a really brief message on a reddit post there's an NFC issue but that's about it, can anyone else help?
Also cannot adjust brightness at all, can move slider but no effect, another reddit post says there's a potential problem anyone else know what the issue is and how can I help resolve it if it's a rom issue?
Thanks
Clean install of WHAT?
LOS, sorry I thought that would have been obvious?
Flash the latest stock rom. If everything works under the stock rom, this indicates a issue with the custom ROM.
All the links to stock ROM took hours to download so haven't had chance yet but I have tried resurrection and mi ROMs last night and both issues show up too. I'm interested to know if anyone is using NFC on lineage with success on 9505?
Then try one of the custom TouchWiz ROMs. It's the closest you'll get without having to wait hours.
I'm thinking of resetting the phone to factory setting's in order to fix some overload lagging.
Can anyone suggest me any ROM that will perform better than the stock ROM and has everything working?
* I don't know yet which ROM version it's running (Not my phone).
I see from forum threads that's its kind of tricky to unlock the bootloader in this phone.
Is it worth the trouble or I'm I risking ending in bootloop's?
Thanks everyone!
For what I can see, this phone has some problems with custom ROMs: I didn't see any of them fully functional, and the best ones have some troubles with Camera and/or YouTube. I also was planning on modding this phone, but I decided to stay, for now, with stock rom, rooting it only to disable some Huawei crap and hopefully a (better) control over the kernel.
If someone will discover a pretty stable ROM without problems, please tag me
