What custom rom for my p8 lite 2015 [Ale-l21]? - P8lite General

Hi guys,
first off congratulations for the forum, is awesome and quite interesting
As written in the title, i need a new rom for my p8 lite ale l-21
Currently, i'm on the emui 4.1.3 but my phone drains battery really too fast and i only can do 3 hours of display and nothing much.
I've changed the battery and the results are the same and so i've decided to flash a new rom
I've already unlocked the bootloader with dc unlocker and i will install this recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180 but i really don't know what rom is suitable for me.
I'm searching a rom with descrete battery life and discrete performances and I saw that there are many on the forum but I can't understand which one is the best so I would need opinions
What would you recommend?

You have the tutorial there if you have any other question feel free to ask.
If i recall correctly, you don't need to unzip, just to put ln sdcard or whatever. I sold my phone like 2 years ago
(check option 1, the first one)

Do you already have magisk installed? If yes, then just install from there magisk manager gsm doze. If you did that, and it's appearing in "modules" than you have it enjoy your "new" phone.

No more wifi...

Hi
I've a desire c bought in Asia. Last time, I've unlocked it, rooted it and everything was good apart that I didn't have the french language.
Yesterday, I decided to install the xperia custom roms.
In Cwm, i've wipe everything (without backup in things...) and I've formated the Emmc partition.
I've then installed the rom, really nice install and everything is good apart that I can't activate wifi anymore...
The switch is grey.
I've install the revolution rom, same issue.
Does anyone knows how to solve this big issue for me?
Thanks

[Q Help] Flash ROM's on Z1?

Hey to all XDA Users, I hope you are in good spirit today!
I am back again!
When I was flashing my HTC HD2 everyday I was close to a Professor now I upgraded to Xperia Z1 and I am stupid again as F...!
The Z1 I think is an awesome device but I am really disappointed for many reasons.
I can't select Governors and Frequences for low consumption of energy.
I can't put data folders on External microSD and use the internal Storage for Apps ONLY. (I am already out of storage).
I can't use many app because the OS is not rooted.
I don't have many Option in Settings to improve the Phone.
It's slow.
Drain Battery.
...ecx....
So like any Android Phone the best way to make it fly is to flash some good ROM.
How?
I was reading in the forum about some tricks to put the phone in some condition to flash the available roms but I really will be glad if someone can explain to me all the process to How flash the Rom.
I know is a stupid question but flash the Z1 is not even close to what I was doing with my old friend HD2 and I want to be sure to do all well.
Thanx in advance.
You should post this in the QA section, anyway, root your device first - install recoveries - download preferred rom - push to SD card - Reboot to recoveries - wipe system, cache and dalvik cache - Flash ROM. You should be fine

before that I heard about UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, I heard also this trick have some issues like the camera will stop working. If after that I flash some rom the camera will working again?
Can you help me and send me the right links for:
Unlock Bootloader,
Root the device on Z1,
Recovery for Xperia Z1
I got many threads with recoveries, what it means recovery for 518 & 526. Where I have to look on my device to know the right recovery?
bootloader link?
Er no, you do not have to unlock the boot loader to root Xperia devices.
Please just read the several threads that are in the general section and the one in this section to find out how to get root on the latest firmware version

In the above post of your you did not mention flashing roms, just rooting and installing recovery.
ALl stock based roms do not require an unlocked bootloader, and with those there is a lot you can do

If you unlock the bootloader you can flash any rom
Download and install Flashtool from here:

(Drivers are also in this package in folder drivers)
Download the rootable ROM from here:

For rooting read this post:

Download recovery from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45149758&postcount=1
And install it like describe in thread.
But, the most imortant thread for you as a new XPERIA user is doomlords thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440565
The best kernels you ca use are from doomlord. But so far I can see he did not make a kernel for the latest firmware version. In the past (on my xperia S) you where able to chage Governors and Frequences. But wait for this a while. Unlocking bootloader is needed only if you use non stock based ROMs like CM, AOSP and so on. It's your choice what you want. There is no generelly answer for any ROM and situation, it depends only to your own needs.

Awesome, Thanx Man for send me in the right direction, now I can start from something.
You Right, I was looking to flash some nice CM, AOSP Rom but I have to unlock the bootloader and I heard about camera issue, like I told to gregbradley I probably will wait until the problem will be solved and for now I will try some rooted stock rom.

Well spotted you flashed it? If so via twrp with full wipe?
What about GAPPS is it 64bit version?
Are we downloading for LEO?
Jeez to many questions, just think someone might mess up.
I'll test and report back.

So I downloaded the EU rom, make sure you download for Leo, installed via TWRP with full wipe as per instructions. To be honest if your from uk no point its still english US not UK, For everyone else yea go for it no problems and Playstore included.
Is there no improvements from 6.5.1.0 version?
Also how do I flash twrp on my phone? Do I need root?
Thanks

http://en.miui.com/thread-118114-1-1.html
I just flashed this rom and i can confirm that it works well here in the uk on the ee 4g network no problems for me and very happy with this phone
Are there any instructions on how to install it?
I found TWRP, but need root to install it which i don't have.
Just boot to TWRP first via fasboot by using fastboot boot twrp.img command,
Then flash supersu,
After u got root access, install flashify and flash twrp
Is French included in this ROM? Probably not...
Will my apps be in French anyway or will it go like the UI?
Hi - I tried installing the most recent stable version for the Note Pro (xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V6.6.3.0.LXHCNCF_v6-5.0) and it was completely unusable. Lots of system processes failing etc. Has everyone else had this experience or am I doing something wrong? I installed initially through TWRP, then also tried through MiRecovery.
Just got the phone and really liking it, but very keen to get it working more like a UK phone! Great to see there's people working on this!!!

It works fine for me in UK, full wipe in TWRP? You said first with TWRP and then Mi, did you reflash original recovery. I always find that after flashing a new rom I have to reflash GAPPS or I get the problems you describe.
I had been unsure if the 'Wipe All' would also scrub the ROM zip file, so did not do this first time.
This time I did wipe everything, which also resulted in the ROM zip file being deleted.
Managed to sideload it and everything is now working! Many thanks for the suggestion. And for future, should I be wiping everything, or is there a way to avoid the sideload?
Thanks

Like I said just reflash google apps no need for full wipe, use TWRP, keep a copy of GAPPS on your phone along with the rom so wiping won't be a problem should you need too.

None of the custom roms are booting

Hey everyone! I have a weird problem. I have rooted my Honor 5C NEM-L21 but everytime i try to flash a custom rom it gets bootlooped. I have tried multiple different roms and formatting /data as f2fs , yet have the same problem everytime that i flash a custom ROM. I have as well everytime downgraded the OS back to EMUI 4 and updated the OS to EMUI 5 but it does not help with the problem. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this problem? Thanks

[Q] After rooting my wifi is not working anymore someone help me

After rooting my phone the wifi is not working anymore no matyyhow i clock wifi on its keep turning off i try to reset factory data nothing change pleaseeeeeee guys help me
Hi,
First thing I'd do is to reset it to it's original state and thus unroot it.
Does that bring Wi-Fi back ?
Then I would re-root to se if that turns Wi-Fi off again.
If so , then it seems the unrooting has problem somewhere... I think I've seen that it implies playing with a modded kernel image or something like that. So it can easily cause problems.
If not then you probably unrooted it the wrong way first time.
Regards.
I had the same problem, fixed it by flashing the same boot.img that belongs to my os version (cn red magic 2.14).

Hi,
Can you please tell me what version of the firmaware you're running ?
I think there are three of those :
- China
- North America
- Europe
To know which one you are running, just go to settings and at the very bottom "About this phone".
And there, at the very bottom, the version of the ROM used.
Without that info, I won't be able to provide the needed patched boot image.
I assume your bootloader is unlocked and you DID NOT install TWRP.
Regards.

Hi,
Yes, CN stands for China.
So you have Chinese 2.14 version.
I'll see if I can find that boot.img you need.
Please note : I will return the device vbecause of it's really BAD software.
So I will not be able to help any longer after this
