Requirements
-Updated CWM 6.0.5.0 or TWRP
-Have Stock 4.1 or CM 10.1
-Those having the DUOS variant should check if the name on the build.prop matches the name of the updater-script. If it doesn't, then edit the updater script.
Installation Instructions
-Make a backup just in case
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Install the rom
-Optionally install gapps (choose the package that suits you better)
Bugs/What's not working?
-Probably other features I may not use frequently
-Bluetooth half working
-3D perfomance and some games may have issues?
-The buttons for unlocking the sim will look smaller (but still usable) when dual sim activated
-Screen recorder of the rom

Multisim FAQ
How to enable/disable multisim?
Install a terminal and type the following
Enable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds
Disable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config none
Or use the file manager in root mode, search for build.prop and change persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds (enable) or persist.radio.multisim.config=none (disable)
Dual SIM has the following limitations:
Both SIMs are always enabled (no way to disable one SIM)
"Receive incoming call while data is enabled" is always enabled
The QuickSettings tile will display the status for the currently selected SIM for data
Changing 2G/3G network mode using the QuickSettings toggle is not supported, only do it from Settings.
3G may not work properly if Dual SIM mode is enabled with only 1 SIM inserted

Ok, this rom seems pretty stable. I think dual sim should work and games like clash of clans won't close themseves. However I don't really know if lock screen widgets works (already searched on privacy and didn't found anything). For those who like features and doesn't need the lock screen widgets, this rom should be great
Edit: Ok, I found how to activate lock screen widgets. It seems it is necessary to disable low ram mode... Well, I'll release RC 1.1 with lock screen widgets working soon

Hmm that's weird. I'm using it right now and I don't have those problems. Those problems happened to you only on this rom or also on other roms? And did you use CWM or TWRP?

Hi, well im using CWM but discovered that this trouble its related with the Gapps.. :S when i change the gapps using another micro or nano version everything works fine. so its not a issue directly of the rom.. and its awesome.. thanxs again..
Greetings

Is this ROM Better/More stable than NamelessRom? i still can't decide wich one to download...
By the way, youtube doesn't work correctly on CM 11.0 and SlimKat 4.4.4, videos just seem to keep buffering till a. The app crashes, or b. The entire cellphone restarts itself... so I'm trying these two and i need to know wich one is better (in terms of performance, and youtube)
Anyways thanks for giving ROMs to our old little Samsung Galaxy Music

CM11 is the perfect ROM for this phone. For YouTube, try either this version of the YouTube app or any of the alternate apps from the F-Droid repository.

I see, i'll try CM11 again, i uninstalled it from my phone because of YouTube..
Another problem is, when i try to download the YouTube app that you recommended me, (clicking the blue button) the page just times out, is there another link to download it? Mediafire or other? Thanks in advance :good:

Which ROM are you flashing? Carbon? Did you try any of the others? CM11? If not, try flashing that. Don't flash GApps immediately. Just flash ROM and boot the phone. Let everything settle down for about five minutes and then flash GApps.

Yes

Yes, I've tried flashing Carbon ROM And I also flashed CM 10.1 But it had the same issues. And I haven't tried flashing CM 11 because It has some confusing method like Build. prop.

No confusion. Flash if normally. Forget about build.prop. But flash first without GApps.

ohh I have a question!!

Hello, I'm really sorry to bump this thread, but, some time ago, it seems like this youtube app just stopped working, it just gives an error (401 or something like that) or it straight out tells me that a new version of youtube is available (The broken, original one from the playstore).
So, basically, is there another modified youtube app I can try out that allows me to watch videos on 4.4.4 again? The original YouTube still buffers forever :crying:
Again, sorry for bumping this thread, I hadn't had the time to post this here...

Try one of these. Of these, I've personally used NewPipe, SkyTube and Webtube and they all work without issue. Do try them out and provide feedback here so others can also benefit from your experience...

I'm sorry to say that none of these work on a Samsung Galaxy Music S6010 with CM11.0, they all have the same issue of not playing the video at all, and crashing if they're not closed on time...
I guess there are no other alternatives other than to flash back to 4.1.2 ????
4.1.2 is barely usable because of all the bloatware it has, or i don't know what is it that makes it so... laggy.

Quick Review Lineage 14.1 by Meticulus

Lineage 14.1 by Meticulus
As of today February 12 XDA Developer Meticulus released his fifth alpha version of Lineage 14.1 based on Google's Nougat 7.1.1 mobile operating system.
For an alpha this version of the OS is very stable with only a few drawbacks namely no
WIFI Hotspot
USB Tethering
Bluetooth Tethering
SELinux
I am running this as my daily driver since the first iteration of his (Meticulus) ROM and find it more stable as the available beta version of Huawei's own Nougat based Emui 5.0. As of February 12 Live display has been fixed and doesn't lag the UI anymore, even though I personally never had this issue. My phone is the L-31 version with 3gb of RAM fyi.
Battery live is as good as it gets. I am getting a day and a half with moderate use out of it what is amazing considering I got barely a full day with minimal use out of Huawei's unmodified stock firmware. Being not bogged down by all the bells and whistles that come with Emui 4.1 does wonders.
Out of the gate Lineage is as bare bone as it gets and a dream for every theme artist out there. As always with Custom Roms that come without the usual Google apps
http://opengapps.org is your friend. Meticulus recommended the nano version if you like to flash dirty, saying that I am running Lineage fully modified as a Google Pixel Phone and had no problem updating to his most recent build.
Speed is great, using my phone to play games like Lord of the Fallen, Fire Emblem, Various Emulators is a pure pleasure. Internet is fast and responsive. Phone calls and texting work as should. (Does report a very weak signal where I had full "lines" normally, but Meticulus stated on his webpage that this might be only reported back wrong to the system and not actually be an issue.) RAM management is great especially compared to the stock OS from Huawei. Camera is still slightly bugged as some users have issue with snap apps. The camera app provide with the last update works reliable enough, but can force close from time to time if overused.Picture quality is fine for my day to day use, put I didn't compare the Huawei stock picture quality with Meticulus build one. I found the open camera app from the play store slightly more reliable. All issues aside this is great work from Meticulus who has provided us with another great custom build ROM for the P9 lite.

And bye the love of God please read the whole page, take your time and FOLLOW Meticulus instructions, he put them there for a reason, and above all have fun!

Where did you get your themes sir?

Never used dual sim, have a 128gb Mem stick in it. Also not using any theme is stock Pixel launcher with Pixel icons installed via open Gapps, used aroma installer to get everything done, was quite tricky as the installer is heavily bugged under Meticulus TWRP ...

Yup, I did that. Went back to stock ROM for a while but wanted to go back to Lineage today, only to find he deleted everything. I really hope someone else will pick up his work. Someone without a superiority complex.

Meticulus raged because people kept asking him the same thing over and over again. His work was send everywhere else without his permission.
The whole thing with "donation" was an optional thing.
It was like: Hey! Want me to update or work at X rom for Y phone? Donation please."
Meticulus was indeed a bit "childish". I could at least help him with the roms (anti distribution and so on.)

I think that,
If you make it for yourself, then you share. Donation is welcomed.
If s.o akes you to do s.t, then you ask for rewarding sooner or later or just stop it.
S.o had paid him the downloaded rom then got it. They have no point to ask for more roms as they only paid for what they got. It is obviously.

[ROM] Mokee

Hello,
I just open this thread to discuss about the rom and share issues.
The rom is very close to Android stock.
Issues that I have encountered (Build: 2017-10-08):
-Led notification is blinking very very fast (and change settings does nothing)
-Bluetooth audio (for music and video) does not work (I haven't tried calls)
Camera works, fingerprint is fast as in MIUI, run smoothly
You must format data before flashing (or it will bootloop)

- Bluetooth audio bug is same as that in Mokee Xiaomi Mi 6 rom, dev has replied in their forums the next nightly should have it fixed.
- Notification light bug will not be fixed until source is out (dev replied on when i listed the bug on Mokee forums)
Another thing ive noticed:
- The rom included a non-official xposed port for nougat which I cant remove, only disable
- Rom does not pass safetynet. Tried magisk+hide to no avail

Ugh, no bluetooth audio is a killer for me. I do like the idea of a near stock Android though...

Safetynet is the killer for me. Need bank apps to work.

True, but if they pre-installed xposed and made it un-removable, then safety net will always fail...

I am loving this ROM! The battery life doesn't seem as good as eu rom. Also notice volume for YouTube seems low at Max setting. Other than that this is amazing stick room with Xposed and Gravity box!

Safetynet doesn't pass with xposed.. uninstall it

Shoot. No VOLTE on T-Mobile.. Every time I make a call I notice it drops to 3g or H+. Anyone know a fix?

Also, when making a 3 way conference call the phone app force closes and can't open.

Hi,
Woah... 11/11 released on 10/11 ! that is looking into the future
Anyways, jokes apart, did you try it and if so, is Bluetooth audio working ? It's something I would need
By the way : I just looked into the Mokee source. It seems they have the source for device and vendor.
Anyone knows if the msm8996 kernel for xiaomi would work with these ? tat would allow to build other ROM's.
Regards.

Have not tried it~ (bt-audio should be fixed as the mi6 had the same issue and is fixed with currently nightly, dev also added aptx+aptxhd in addition to a2dp)
Mix2 hasnt had it's source released, the maintainer for mix2 happens to be the maintainer for the mi6 (which had it's sources released). As the both use smiliar hardware (sd835, camera sensor) they messed around to get the mix2 rom up. Which is why somethings will not work properly until mix2 sources are released (like the prox sensor and the notif light)

It was. Just needed BT audio. if you confirm i'll switch ASAP

On the newest mokee! You need to wipe everything and do a clean install. Dirty flash and you get a bunch of errors and need to reboot into recovery

It works? BT audio? ::highfive:

Android P 9.0 for s6e+ BETA

To go into deeper detail on the ROM, I used Lineage 16.0 20180901 s6 build modified for the s6 found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...20x-5x-nexusos-9-0-samsung-galaxy-s6-t3843199
It was also based on NexusOS kernel that has been modified, so a big shout out to Team Nexus for the kernel and rom, and to @lukasb06 for porting it to s6.
The original kernel was by Team Nexus for s6 and s6e
Kernel Features;
v2.0: first support Pie on s6e+ and n5
change log:
support N5-s6e+ (ready for daily usage)
bug: BT, GPS, NFC
deep sleep fixed, init.d support, dyninteractive and a lot of kernel code changed.
the kernel can be found at :
https://github.com/slaminger/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420
**I have made some modifications, added a shim, added code to the init.rc to disable p2p wifi. Moving forward the modifications to the kernel will be done by myself.
Please read and follow the instructions :
New zip uploaded for November. Each month has its own folder
This is not fully functional yet but it is close, no Bluetooth, no NFC. the two buttons next to home don't work yet(a couple of temporary solutions below)
BACK UP YOUR CURRENT ROM! especially efs. Some people have ril issues, I noticed my imei changed. A quick efs restore fixed it and my sim worked again.
The home button can be set to double tap for recent apps and use opera browser for compensation of no back button as they have their own, or download back button from play store to add floating buttons to screen. Some versions have buttons pre installed.
I can get bluetooth not to crash, but it doesn't connect.
Wifi Hotspot not working.
Now that the bad is out of the way.
Install Instructions Below:
The call audio and WiFi works, camera works(lower res for video to 1080), magisk is working but apk requires manual apk install, audio works, headphones, video, gapps, everything I have tried besides the above is OK.
The install is a process, first flash the ROM, then the pie fix, then no NFC, and then flash the boot.
Img and start the ROM. set your WiFi and take a look around, give it a moment to run). After first boot, reboot to twrp and flash gapps. If you do it all at once gapps crash sometimes. Once you have this all set up and good to go then add magisk.
9.0SeptSecurity is a different version from the august security not just in the sense that the security patch is different, but also the august build is N920 where the September build is G920F. One is from a note one from s6. It is possible one might resolve a bug that is in the other for your device, i am honestly not sure. different people report different bugs on the same device. If bluetooth does happen to be in one of the zips it will likely crash a lot. remove it via twrp by mounting system and then going to system/app and delete the bluetooth and bluetoothmidi folders.
The reason for lowering rear camera to 1080p for video is that it gets buggy at the 4k default.
A big thank you to NexusOS and LineageOS for their 9.0 lineage 16.0 s6 ROM which I used as a base to port this to our device!
i would also like to thank @topjohnwu for Magisk.
And @MirzaAwais for the Pie fix zip

It's a bit slow for the first little bit while setting up and whatnot, but once you get everything running it works fine. You can use kernel auditor if you find your battery is dying a little too fast.
I am VERY open to suggestions and or help with this, as it is my goal to fix the bugs and have a fully working 9.0 for our device. The buttons are a priority for me.
To briefly summarize: you sacrifice the back button, pages button, and Bluetooth and get 9.0. Everything else works. I've got viper4android going via magisk, the audio fx work. The ROM has a LOUD volume. So if you like music, enjoy. The back button/page has a work around(most apps have a back button), and you can get an app from play store called back button which gives you the home, back and recent button as tiny floating screen icons also, in the meantime. so just bluetooth really. Use modified cam perm boot shim.img
Enjoy

I removed Bluetooth from the ROM intentionally because it crashed constantly and was hard to disable for people unfamiliar with twrp. No NFC.
The camera has been modified to address pipeline errors that caused it to not work in other builds, it is now fully functional up to 1080p video.
The advanced menu seems to be working fine.
Magisk successfully installed with the following modules tested: Viper4Android, Sony Framework, Sony Music, Audio Modification Library, Sys Config Patcher.
SUBSTRATUM DOES NOT WORK ON ANDROID PIE. This is because google does not want us using OMS for custom themes. they disabled it on purpose. i do not believe systemless substratum will be possible moving forward on any device running pie. atleast not at the time being.
**** Solved** see next post** Netflix not currently working, I googled and found many users on pie are having issues.
Superuser works also, but magisk has modules.
More details will be coming.

All gapps 9.0 working on sm-g928
W8, I used the full aroma package and installed everything. However pixel launcher with assistant in the search bar will not work if you install the new Google webview. The built in Google now launcher will work, and I have tried Nova launcher prime. Keep in mind the more gapps you install the slower your device can get. it is best to only install what you need. i installed everything just to see what worked. but i noticed my phone was slower after a while.
The camera is only confirmed working on g928w8 Canadian, g928g, g928f international/american, note 5 N 920variants. Others have reported bugs.
Netflix Netflix-6.13.0_build_29940.apk confirmed working, both cast and watching videos.

Congrats! Will this rom work on Note 5 N920C too ?

It could be made to work yes, there is an alpha note5 ROM already on xda

so i flashed the ROM. very stable i can say, but unfortunately the camera still does not work. i was able to install google camera mod via adb but still the same problem. it does not crash tho. it's just not starting

Suggestion: if you un-compress the rom(s) and do a search for *camera or camera* does it return any results. I suggest you compare it to a working version and determine what is missing in the system/ system/app and system/priv-app folder(s) once you determine what is missing then just bring those changes over to your folders

Let me try n rebuild it real quick for your device, its the same phone mine is just zenltecan not zenlte

Its uploading now, I used the same zip from my phone and changed the updater script to zenlte

OK its done, I named it v2, same link as first post

@godkingofcanada Hi, I've got same problem with this rom as I had with Oreo rom before. My WiFi MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 and it doesn't turn on. Have I to do something more than installing rom and all fixes with it ? I can provide logcat if it would do. Also after clean installation there was no bootanimation and no wallpaper. Just black screen and that's all. Hope to see quick reply. Cheers

What variant of s6e+ do you have? And sure let me peek at the logcat, I have never had it boot to black screen, normally the boot only fails if you did not flash the boot.img. the pie kl500.zip fixes the Wi-Fi, the other zip disables NFC, did you flash both ?

It's G928F variant, I don't have phone box with me, so can't check on it. I bought it here in Poland.

Give me a moment to look, you have the international variant but I don't think there's any hardware differences. I need to verify

Also, the phone is identifying itself as SM-N920X is settings, same this was happening with Oreo ROMs. I'll keep this page refreshed once in a while, I hope that you will find something. I've updated bootloader, but I'm not sure if it changes something. Thanks for fast replies

Any Hope of Custom Rom ? Thinking in selling the RM3

Hello everyone,
I've been thinking and closely watching the evolution of this phone... As things stand, i don't see any interest from devs in Red Magic 3
Im thinking in selling the phone before it starts to loose its value
What are your thoughts ?

Before you get a device, look at their previous history on xda, namely development , previous Nubia red devices didn't get a lot of love.. Most people jumped on OnePlus and pixel, or even the Poco.
I believe there will be ROMs but there don't be a huge amount and little problems that require a lot of work will probably remain.
Great device but not a lot of Devs will dive in I don't think..
Hopefully it'll explode and there will be tonnes of ROMs but I doubt it unfortunately.
Saying that, what about GSI's? Is it treble compatible? They could be your saving grace.
It's a gamble.

Trying to build one.
I am trying to build a lineage rom , need to build TWRP(almost done with it, need to test though) first as the current TWRP only supports CN ROM, the source code they have given on GIT is not so compatible for building custom ROMs, if all goes well I will be releasing it soon.

I see pure Android as a blessing.

The current EU / NA Rom has a lot of missing features and bugs. Would be nice to have auto brightness, customization for home screen for the icons 5 x 6 / 4 x 7 and so on, a flat audio equalizer, custom Kernel with Battery and Performance optimization and so on

Auto brightness - exists in Pie.
Home screen customization - download a launcher.
Audio equalizer - you got me there.
Custom Kernel with Battery and Performance - you already have it, kid - BATTERY and PERFORMANCE!

Yea potentially, if twrp isn't capable of wiping. Then you'll need to do the following.
Make a back up to your computer !!!!
Also if decryption isn't working.
Install twrp.
Push or copy the ROM to the phone .
Root of SD if you can read it.
If you can't decrypt then push to /tmp
Wipe anyway in twrp and then flash the ROM. (GSI IMG)
Then flash the stock recovery and wipe / factory reset in stock recovery.
Boot the IMG, if it doesn't boot after the stock wipe, flash twrp and push / copy the ROM to SD / /tmp
Then flash , it should boot.

If you are starting to question the question you should leave your excitement and start analyzing the phone in a more detailed manner.... Reading your comment made me write to you in a more detailed manner....
So let us begin:
-> The Auto Brightness works and does not work, there are so many times were it does not, so basically you don't have that option
-> The phone has random freezes or reboots from time to time, even if i'm on NA lastest build, no root, bootloader locked in order to sell the phone, last night it gave me some concerns when i tried to wake it up via fingerprint and it would not, i hat to restart it via Power Button and Vol Down to enter bootloader menu
-> The camera takes pictures like my ex Note 3, it should have a better sensor than mid range phones, would be cool to have a camera apk that's optimized for this device
-> Performance degradation over time, i noticed the device starting to run a little laggy before reset, now it's ok for the moment, we need a better kernel with working features like battery stand by, performance when needed and so on
-> Why should i install junk apps to have a simple customization app drawer ? This was the issue to begging with about LAG
-> Lastly, yes, we need a custom rom were people contribute with feedback of the software and constantly improve over time, if i struggle to think a little bit, i can come up with at least 3-4 more issues with this device,

It's the one Google built in. So, if you have an issue, it's with them, and every phone that uses it.

That's an issue as of your actions. You can't blame a device for your choices.

Probably because you're wanting something custom... hence the description. Custom wouldn't be a default. Otherwise it wouldn't be custom.
