The "recommend me a ROM(and stuff)" thread!

Hey folks! Been lurking for a while and thought it was about time I posted something useful, so I looked around and didn't see anything similar and thought a "recommend me a ROM" thread would be a nice idea.
To start:
Basically I have an MDA Vario III with Rom version 1.56.220.4and Radio version 1.27.12.11 still locked to T mobile. I use my vario for calls regularly, texts even more and quick alot of the Web and walk service (I live in the UK).
I love the look of the HTC interface (with the big digital numbers and easy tabs) and am mostly looking for something a bit snappier that has some inventive features ( like being able to use 8Gig memory cards) built in.
can anyone recommend me a ROM (official or non) that would suit me?
Feel free to ask for recommendations of your own!

Not to make you feel bad, but, what you posted is something redundant and has been discussed many times in the ROM section.

This is another thread that should not exist. If you had searched, you would have seen lots of closed threads about this very topic. ROMs are very subjective, and so is Radio version. You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you.

Yea i can recomend clicking the G.W.E.N.I. link in the sig of notatreofan the guy abouve me

Is this the reason you earned your "wings"?
When it comes to your answer, "You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you." Isn't that a little bit harsh? You should remember that not all the users here have all the time in the world to try out every ROM that comes around, people have lifes.
It must be cool to be senior, but to ***** @ everyone who starts a new thread is a little bit too much IMO.

then why do u think we should flash and tell u how we feel? why is it harsh? we dont know how u feel and what u want...even if u tell us..its just an opinion...if u dont have the time to test out for urself..then u shouldnt be flashing at all...this thread has all the ingredients to be *****ed at

if this thread is just going to be a flamefest, you might as well lock it right now.
Yea, he should have just searched and figured out what he thought was the best thread, but you guys were kind of harsh to him in your answers.

I don't think that I hold myself out as "holier than thou". That being said, look at the URL for this website; xda-developers.com. If you are not willing to do any work yourself, and just want everything handed to you, then you need to leave.
I am by no means a developer, but I do my research before creating stupid/unnecessary threads. Go ahead, look at the threads I started... 7 over 21 months.

theres really nothing wrong with noob questions...we all had them...but if they've been asked over n over again...or people dont search the answers first...thats the problem..how hard is it to search before posting..maybe they have...but if u did deep n not post after searching and lookin at the titles of the first page...i'm sure all these threads wont exist

I absolutely love the pictures in this thread. At least it was worth something....

Hi
Well we do allow "Bounty" threads but they need to be clear and have specific goals:
The developer needs to be made aware, approve of the action, and post in the thread
In the same post as above, the developer should detail his intentions once the device/software/product/etc is obtained, and if possible a rough timeline.
The developer should have at least one or two major contributions to the community under his belt before any large donation thread is made,
There should be a clear statement from the developer and/or the thread starter that there is absolutely NO obligation on the developers part to release a final product.

@MikeChannon i think i said all what is needed
Replay:
He got a lot big contributions: NEW GPU FOR G NEXUS-witout that galaxy nexus wont able to boot from 4.4+
Ported 3.4 to other tegra3 device
Almost no developer left on community, we will refresh things.
He is here to help us proting new 3.1 and to bringup 3.4

I'd be glad to help you guys, if I can get my hands on this device if someone could send me a spare one, that would be awesome (or I could buy one for about $100 locally).
My plans would be:
- bring up grouper's kernel to nv-3.1 (like I did on the Galaxy Nexus, with omap-3.0)
- become your CM maintainer, as I see it's not really maintained
- try to get 3.4 working
Proof of my previous work...
nv-3.1 kernel
nv-3.4 kernel
I'm their omni maintainer
Unfortunately, I no longer have access to that device (never had, used my father's one to mess with it, it was fun!), so I can't work on Tegra 3...
My Galaxy Nexus work: 1, 2 (first rom with the new shiny kernel + gpu driver), 3, 4 (I'm our CM maintainer), 5, 6...

nice so noone is interest as i can see -.-

I think not lot of people watch in general thread try posting in original development.

I could try, as I have all the equipment needed for it (I'm using it on another device). Although I was able to get USB working without an UART cable on the A510/A700, since not much changed USB-wise between 3.1 and 3.4 /)
I have received an $5 donation for grouper. If I reach about $50, I may be able to buy one from eBay, or some bad condition one locally or I could give it to the one who offers me a spare one.

As i can see nobody care about this or eaven this tablet. Im stating new KANG project next weakend.

I just received another $30, now I can almost buy one of these so I'll watch out for a good offer and buy it if I find one

I just sent you 10€ (round about 11,35$). I'd really love to see this kernel fully ported on my good old grouper, so I can use it for at least one more year [emoji6] [emoji106] So if I'm right you almost have 50$. I hope that's enough [emoji16]

BIG thanks to anone ho helped. :good::highfive::highfive:

Thanks to all of you, my N7 just arrived. Now I just need some time to mess with nv-3.1

I know @Ziyan from the galaxy nexus threads and his amazing work he bought to us there.
Fantastic to see you here helping out to bring another "old" device back to some more life.
I just bought a grouper in nearly new conditions from eBay Kleinanzeigen for 70€ including a case. Now I am following your work here on grouper forum.

May this kernel work w/ tilapia?

Bounty for Root Unlocked Bootloader

I'm starting a bounty for the unlocking and root of the ZTE Axon Pro, so those who are willing to pledge a donation for the developers time please post here your pledge. Hopefully this will be the start to something great for our device and reaching its full potential please post it in this thread. Please everyone spread the word we need some good helpful Devs to crack this thing, at least give us root privileges in the meantime.
I Pledge $25 for unlocked bootloader on the ZTE Axon Pro.
We would be happy with having root on our device for now so if any developer here could make that possible your time and effort is very much appreciated. Thanks to anyone in advance!!! This would be appreciated so much if anyone could help us with getting the ZTE Axon Pro Phone moving in the right direction finally.
Hopefully more people will get involved in this bounty, we have a nice phone with great potential, but with an unlocked bootloader and root this can be a really special phone. Hopefully more people will get involved because even us just getting root privileges would be a huge step in the right direction!!! This phone is to nice to be stuck in neutral for as long as its been, it has a lot of potential. If we had Root and the right Kernel, an unlocked Bootloader and Roms this would be one awesome phone with all flagship specs. Even though the Stock Rom on our device is not really that bad, in most aspects it just needs some tuned and overhauled with the right tweaks getting it running at its full potential, the good developers here on XDA could do that and make this a a really special device. Custom Roms would be amazing!!!
I really don't see how this phone has not gotten any attention, It has better specs than most phone released including the NEXUS 6P, when I bought it from my friend I thought I would come here and see that the developers here on XDA would have already have custom recoveries, and roms. The phone is designed really nice, a full aluminum body phone, a great 2.5D display at 5.5 inches - 1440 x 2560, Snapdragon 810 - Adreno 430, and 4 GB of Ram, that's nice!!! I thought I got a steal for $200. I just hope we can get some developers who will get involved and hopefully save this phone!!!
Thanks for any help!!!
HERE ARE LINKS TO ZTE WEBSITES I'M ASKING FOR EVERYONE TO ADD ANY LINKS THAT YOU KNOW OF SO WE CAN LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD IF YOU HAVE MORE LINKS ADD THEM AND I WILL PUT THEM HERE FOR EVERYONE TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD SO ITS UP TO US TO TRY TO GET ZTE TO HOPEFULLY REASON WITH US AND NOT BE A CLOSED SOURCE MANUFACTURER. SO WE MUST MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD IF WE EXPECT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN, DOING NOTHING IS THE SAME AS ACCEPTING WHAT ZTE IS DOING, AND LOOK HOW THAT HAS TURNED OUT WITH EVERY UPDATE THIS DEVICE HAS RECEIVED THIS FAR. I BELIEVE THIS DEVICE COULD BE A LOT BETTER IF ZTE WOULD AT LEAST MEET THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY HALF WAY AND GIVE US OPTIONS.
LINKS
https://www.facebook.com/AxonPhone/
https://www.zteusa.com/contacts/index/
https://twitter.com/ZTE_USA
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL GET ZTE'S ATTENTION WE NEED TO LET THEM KNOW HOW UNSATISFIED WE ARE ABOUT THE DEVICE THEY SOLD US ONLY TO BE LET DOWN BY CRAP UPDATES, LOCKED BOOTLOADERS THEY CANNOT DO WHAT THIS COMMUNITY COULD DO IF WE GET THAT DOOR OPEN. WE AS A WHOLE NEED TO CHANGE ZTE'S PERSPECTIVE AND ATTITUDE TOWARD THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY AND TRUE OPEN SOURCE. WE NEED AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT BUYING A PHONE THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN FIX WITH THEIR R&D TEAM. IF ZTE WOULD EMBRACE US THE USERS AND THE COMMUNITY WE COULD DO GREAT THINGS, THE DEVELOPERS HERE WOULD MAKE THIS PHONE A GREAT DEVICE ZTE HAS TO LET US HAVE A CHANCE WITH THIS PHONE AND THE ANDROID COMMUNITY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO COULD POSSIBLY MAKE THIS HAPPEN FROM WHAT I SEE, ZTE IS SO CLOSED OFF AND THEY WILL NEVER SUCCEED SELLING FLAGSHIP DEVICES THAT ARE CLOSED DOWN.

I'll pledge $25 also.

Thank you!!! We need all the help we can get because ZTE is not going to help us!!! If anyone else is looking for this phone Amazon has them Open Box - Like New Condition for around $230, in all 3 colors.
25 Views and 1 Reply? We need help from all that can to get this phone going in the right direction because right now its all downhill, unless something changes for us... I hope we don't lose this opportunity with such a good device, this could be a beast of a phone if given the chance.

I would definitely throw into the pot to get this device rooted. I have been trying since day 1 without any luck. I have reached out to ZTE, Kingroot, and a few others without any luck. At the moment I have $20 on it, but depending on the circumstances I could possibly increase the amount. Please anybody with this device, that is interested in getting it rooted at least throw a comment up, to show support.

Yes this device is a real sleeper...... people don't realized that this device has the same specs as the:
Nexus 6P
HTC M9
Oneplus 2
G4
Note Edge
I truely think that this phone will take off when the price drops.... and I think it will drop after the end of this month.

Yes this phone is pretty good and would be amazing with atleast root I can't pledge any money right now tho but I really hope it gets unlocked and root soon

I gave up on this phone months ago and I had the Lux model. As stated before the potential is off the charts but potential is useless if somebody doesn't take advantage of it.

I emailed ZTE and pretty much told them if they plan to fail in the US market they are heading in the correct direction to fail - with how they are locking down their devices and being closed source. I gave them many examples of how other manufactures such as Nexus, OnePlus, Oppo, HTC, and so on have had very good product demand for each of their devices because of what they freely do with their phones. They give the community what it wants and this sells. Anyways I don't know if they spun me some **** or not but anyways they said they had forwarded my email to their higher ups???
I plan to get on ZTE every chance I get, it was the same situation when I bought my Oppo Find 5 until the community as a whole including front page of XDA finally got through to Oppo. It was either Oppo needed to change or they would not survive in the US market being as closed down as they were. I don't think Oppo regret doing what they have done, they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves here is the US after they finally agreed to give the community what we wanted. I know that Oppo have sold more phones because they did the 180 and gave the community what we wanted, open source and unlocked bootloaders.
Hopefully we can get ZTE to do the same thing. For some reason the China phone manufacturers don't want to follow open source freedoms that apply when creating an Android device's in the US. We need as much help as we can get and if not, we need to give ZTE the negative response they have created for themselves. I know that personally I will never buy another ZTE device if this phones does not get unlocked and ZTE does not start playing by the fairness of Open Source Community we strive on here at XDA, I would like to just have a damn rooted phone, but it would be great to see what the developers could come up with creating a kernel for this beast and an unlocked bootloader to install TWRP or CWM. We bought the phone it should be our choice if we want to forfeit our warranty or whatever, at least give us the option o make our own decision that's all I want.
Hopefully we will get someone skilled enough to crack this phone, I'm sure there are people here that have worked with ZTE devices before and that can do it . I have seen almost the impossible around here there's a lot of great talent, we just need them to give this a device look. Maybe we can all pitch in and buy a really good recognized developer a ZTE Axon Pro device for themselves, that is usually what works the best in my experience because then the have the phone in their hands and can work on it freely. They are selling on Amazon right now for $230 I will throw in the $25 if we can get a developer to agree. Does that sound like a good idea to anyone else? Ive been thinking about this and it would be hard to crack this phone without having the same model phone themselves. This is how it usually gets done, we need a good developer who we can get this device to, then we may get an unlocked bootloader and kernels.
ZTE AXON PRO - $220 Used - Very Good - Item is in original, pristine packaging. Small (less than 1/4" x 1/4") cosmetic imperfection on front of item.
LINK - http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...7&sr=8-3&keywords=zte+axon+pro&condition=used
Right now we have $50 from just 2 of us so say maybe 8 or 10 more people we may have enough and a we need a helpful experienced developer and we can do this possibly, its not like were throwing hundreds of dollars out.

Yea it sucks, I also spent hours of back and forth with ZTE to finally get a answer regarding the availability of Firmware and Bootloader access. I have saved all the emails and messages they wrote me. The final one being that they would not even consider giving Bootloader access and would not release firmware. It took them about 3 weeks to finally get this info and only after pleaing that I would be looking to sell this phone if there was no possibility of ever getting full access. I even tried "troubleshooting" my phone in hopes they would send me some Firmware to flash and "fix" my so called "problem".
---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------
So far the most encouraging news I received was from KingRoot. They are still telling me that they plan to keep working to find a method to root. KingRoot also said that if I could get more people to inquire about this model then it would speed up their drive to get it done. The last message I got from them said that their next release should be able to root the Axon A1P

I have also requested through KingRoot to add the ZTE Axon Pro - A1P to their list, hopefully they get us Axon Pro users root soon I'm really bored with nothing to customize and this is my first device ever that I could not root or install custom roms on...
I think I'm going to go give ZTE hell on every outlet they have. Twitter, Facebook, Social Media everywhere that I can...
Anyways hopefully we will at least get our devices rooted soon!!! I was thinking of getting some attention on the XDA Development section on the forums for our Axon Pro from anyone who is experienced with ZTE devices or anyone who can help us with our problems. hopefully by getting all the help we can by linking developers to this thread we will get more attention. We need a good developer or developers and I know there has been many who have cracked ZTE devices in the past I'm pretty sure the newest ZTE/Nubia Z9, Snapdragon 810 version. is unlocked or at least rooted, I'm not sure how much in difference between the devices but they are both built in ZTE's build house so hopefully someone that has working with cracking ZTE/Nubia devices before can help us.

After the marshmallow update, there's an option under the hidden developer options menu to unlock the bootloader natively. Go to settings, about phone, then tap "build number" a few times to activate developer options. You will see a notification once it's activated. Here's a screenshot, now where do I go for this bounty?

Ah I see. How disappointing!

Hi every one!! I'm the new one and sorry for my poor English. ^^. I'm using Zte Axon, I'm very satisfied with it but my phone have a problem that sometimes, even frequently it restart white I do nothing. Hope someone help me! please.
I have tried factory data reset, but nothing better.

isn't that a developer option in marshmallow?

I have this same option within my settings and I have not updated my Axon Pro since I have bought it. I'm still on the older lollipop 5.1.1 build B19 and that option is in my build also. I have not updated hoping that one day we will find a possible exploit. Also all I have heard is bad things after the upgrades from the forum members. Hopefully someday we will have an exploit or root but the option to unlock the bootloader has been in the options since 5.1.1 build B19. I wish we could figure out an exploit. I have been reading up on how to root manually but I'm not a developer so hopefully we can get KingRoot or a gifted developer on board and help us with this issue.

I am selling my Lux model it is here sitting around collecting dust. I ended up buying a Galaxy 6S Edge model that was broken for 325 then had to pay 273 total to get it fixed.

Question NE2210 Chinese Version in US w/ Verizon - possible?

Hello everyone,
I've just recently joined XDA Developers to get a question answered and to potentially get into rooting later on, I couldn't find a definitive answer anywhere else and so made a thread.
Verizon is my carrier, and I would like to be able to use 5G and 4G within the United States. Is the Chinese NE2210 version of the phone able to do this from stock? Additionally, is there any way that I can remove any trace of the phone being intended for sale in China by changing the language to English across the entire US and removing Chinese apps?

This is about as helpful as posting a LMGTFY link. You searched for and apparently found threads that were relevant, I didn't find anything that was relevant specifically pertaining to this phone and Verizon.
Telling me to look for things that you found is frustrating, because it would have taken you 15 seconds to link the things that you found and do me and whoever views this thread in the future a solid. But instead, you tell me to search, because I definitely didn't search my question online or on the forum before going to the trouble of making an account just to ask this question... Why wouldn't that be the very first thing I do?

The Chinese model lacks band 13 and thus is not whitelisted for Verizon. You can SIM swap to get it to work but it won't be a great experience.
Verizon uses 2, 4, 5, 13, 46, 48, and 66 for LTE and n2, n5, n66, n77, n260, and n261.
Of these, the NE2210 supports 2, 4, 5 for LTE and 0 5G bands, making the NE2210 a very poor choice for Verizon all the way around.

This is about as helpful as posting a LMGTFY link. You searched for and apparently found threads that were relevant, I didn't find anything that was relevant specifically pertaining to this phone and Verizon.
Telling me to look for things that you found is frustrating, because it would have taken you 15 seconds to link the things that you found and do me and whoever views this thread in the future a solid. But instead, you tell me to search, because I definitely didn't search my question online or on the forum before going to the trouble of making an account just to ask this question... Why wouldn't that be the very first thing I do?

The Chinese model lacks band 13 and thus is not whitelisted for Verizon. You can SIM swap to get it to work but it won't be a great experience.
Verizon uses 2, 4, 5, 13, 46, 48, and 66 for LTE and n2, n5, n66, n77, n260, and n261.
Of these, the NE2210 supports 2, 4, 5 for LTE and 0 5G bands, making the NE2210 a very poor choice for Verizon all the way around.

Thank you for the helpful reply. Luckily, I managed to get the order cancelled and will choose a phone designed for use in the US instead. Since those tend to be out of my price range for the 10 Pro, I was planning on probably waiting for the Nothing phone (1).

The issue here is that the OP's question as related to Verizon has not been answered in this subforum before. I did a search myself last night only found 5 posts that even mentioned Verizon, two that were in this very thread, but none about the specific question being asked.

Glad that I was able to help you before you got stuck with an incompatible phone. Generally speaking, it's always best to get the global version, because with the carriers shutting down 3G they are all getting stricter about what phones can and can't be used on their networks.

It's nice to be nice, regardless if it's helpful or not.
English isn't his first language, you didn't state you'd searched, a lot of people don't.
If indeed you are new, maybe best to leave the attitude at the door.
In regards to your question..assuming you're in the US, get the US friendly phone. Don't try to save money on the chinese version, you'll regret it later.
The bands for the Chinese phone and what Verizon support are publicly available.
@EtherealRemnant has kindly showed these for you.
In short just avoid the Chinese model is just not worth the money you'd save even if it did work as expected.

Im sorry if i ower reakt, but brcause you are new here, i tried to help to search first thing.
Im self is really bad for this and i have alot of question som beeing very stupid.
We forget about this and go on.
have you figure it out?

Question App disabled due to security strategy

Has anyone seen this? Put Android 13 on my phone and now none of the apps will open. It has something to do with my sim card because all the apps worked fine until I put my sim card in. Verified this with a wipe and didn't put my sim card in until my apps were installed and boom error pops up.

Can confirm its now a brick lol. Tried restoring back to Android 12 and it boot looped with the OP Restore file. Then tried flashing the payload to a and b with Fastboot Enhanced now its bricked. Wont hard reset wont power on nothing. No USB to PC either.

Do you have work based apps on your phone like Microsoft MFA / intune, anything that governs your device as an admin. Changing base could have changed the devices footprint and thus to the apps may have lost their handshake with the device (so to speak)
I can't see how or why your sim could cause this.... my only thought would be an admin app or service that really didn't like you changing bases..
If it's not that then I'd say rotten luck.

Seems a bunch of people In the TG group have the same issue as you did. Not sure what the issue was but certainly been mentioned.

Joined the group. I just got my new phone waiting for BL unlock again.
Don't have any admin apps but it definitely had to do with the sim because with the sim in factory reset it wouldn't even get passed the activation screen.

Damn, what company is that? Sounds nuts.. never had anything like that happen to me... You don't even need a sim in the phone to get the bootloader unlocked etc...
Unless you're stateside and have one of them phones that makes you wait.

Oh Christ, had no idea.. Soz about that.
So much info is on the likes of telegram these days which is seldom shared on XDA, point taken though.

Hopefully they see the error of their ways or hopefully the nothing phone goes full flagship and the development scene really picks up, it'll be that death of OnePlus but the birth of a new era.
Doesn't help us today but might be nice for the future.
