It seems so, but wifi is terribly slow.

It's going to be announced soon in CM's blog, but find7a and find7s are split now and get separate builds. You need to flash "find7" on find7a devices and "find7s" on find7s qhd devices. You should update the recovery too, but I think there are no recovery images available yet. I might provide some if nobody else does it.

I successfully flashed cm 12 1901 build . WiFi works normally. Fonts and icons too small

on 2.0.4
Can we flash this on color os 2.0.4 version without any issues or have to downgrade to 1.2.7

You will have to flash it over 1.2.x Color OS. I flashed 19 build over 1.2.7.
Installed without an issue.
For QHD use Find 7s version.

You can always use tantrums recovery flasher...they recently updated to v10.....has all the latest recoveries

Anyone having problems when using unified partition layout? After I flashed the ROM the phone just tells me that there's an encryption error and I have to wipe data. I wiped data and still the same error. When I went back to previous ROM I'm using everything else is fine, except with the proximity sensor bug. Cheers

De-unify first, then flash. You need to have to revert back to 1.2.x.
Flash Open TWRP and then flash CM12 Nightlies. COs 1.2.x and CM12 do not support Unification.

Is the only way to switch between tabs the recent apps thingy? I mean I don't habe a problem but still kinda awkward not knowing where the tab went. BTW I got twrp 2.8.4 and there's always this horizontal line where the display shifts. It's like these lines on old videos that walk through the picture. Trying my best on English (I'm German )

Regarding the line in recovery, use Nameless TWRP recovery from HERE.
I have not tried the latest TWRP Open Recovery 2.8.4 for Find7, but with Nameless TWRP Recovery, I am able to use OTG in recovery. This allows me to take backups into 32gb usb drive and restore from there.

Custom Ringtones
Hello Just flashed to build 2015/01/21 and I noticed that I was unable to change my ringtone. This may seem like a trivial thing but I would just like to know if it's my device specific. Find 7a running CM12 stock kernels and all.
Edit: Turned off NuPlayer in developers options and set SELinux Kernel to Permissive.

Missing languages
In the 21/01 build, some languages are missing - texts simply do not appear and the language list is empty near the end.
EDIT:
23/01 build solves it.
EDIT2:
Gyro doesn't work, screen doesn't rotate.

Test Lollipop Custom ROMs

HI all! I just saw a test build from COMMOTIO for the E980! And it is LOLLIPOP! B74 is out now in their latest nightly experimental. Anyone who wants to test it just go to their download links!
I can't test it properly as I have F240. So anyone with E980 can test it!
Well I tried it. Smooth and good looking, though more stock than custom. Of course since I use F240, I have no sound and external SD is not being read.

Hmm. Around 5 - 6 minutes. It takes long but it's worth it.
If anyone can build/port a Lollipop kernel for F240, then it would be freaking awesome. Even the stock L ROM is gorgeous.

If phone will not Boot flash the fix from Optimus G3 ROM.
Main issue is no home button unlock
I'll try it now

Flash SuperSu 2.30 Beta ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 ) to fix Root....
:good:
Since it's just an experimental, expect BUGS and here and there not working. Anyone here that visits Chinese and Vietnamese forums may find updates for the F240?
So if im reading this right i can flash this on at&t e980 with twrp recovery? Just making sure.

I use Philz Touch and it works well. It's for E980.
I know it is still early days, but anyone who has run this rom for 1 day , 'feels' any improvement in battery life? Project volta was touted as a big part of the lollipop update
Since the e980 has a CM12 device tree up there on Github, doesn't that mean anyone can compile the kernel to use with any CM build with it now? (The only CM I've built was Pac-man a few weeks back, so I'm fresh fish in this.) I know if I were going to go CM again I'd love to tweak some Lollipop with Pacman (love that one).
I just installed using cwm....camera not working, sound settings doesn't open so far....

[Kernel][CM12] - For F240x - updated [08/02/2015]

thought this should help all of us F240 out there, at last, someone made a CM12 kernel for f240, got this from chinese F240 forum, according to the author its a custom job combining the official E980 CM12 ramdisk and cantata kernel, includes call Volume fix patch from wangsai008
recommend a clean wipe, install a cm12 rom and any 5.0 gapps (i used minimal ones), then apply this patch at last
i've installed on TWRP 2.8.1.0 with official E98x CM12, had no issues personally, sound, gps, youtube, deep sleep works fine, didnt test BT, your mileage may vary.
should work for all F240 variants, test and see
EDIT:updated 08/02/2015 to match current official CM12, should fix compatibility issues on newer nightlies , test and see(like deep sleep)
is Batery good ?

Be wary friend, you lack sources and mod may remove your thread for that.
On another note, where can I get my hands on the official F240 ramdisk? I have been looking to support F240 devices with my kernel but have been unsuccessful thus far.

yes i know but due to the sources in chinese and the download requires password it didnt seem easy to link to, i thought alot of people must be after it so i decided to share separately instead
as for official f240 ramdisk, not sure if 5.0 is even out, but mostly custom jobs like in Blisspop for f240 or the one i uploaded

You made a kernel for f240? Perhaps you can help me! How did you do it? Ramdisk changes? I already have a defconfig for f240.

First of all, thank you for your great work.
It's been working great with f240 so far until cm12 nightly 20150202.
But it is broken since 20150203, systemUI keep terminates.

im confused, can you do fresh install from wipe and install cm12 ONLY, over write with blisspop then cm12 thats just asking for nightmare
i cant guarantee blisspop but the kernel was made partly from official CM12 rom(e980), even though blisspop is cm12 sourced, i still recommend backing up your blisspop rom, test with official cm12 from clean state, do not dirty install between different roms.

CM 12.1/13 for Oppo Find 7 X9076 / new Display-Panel

I just got a Find 7(s) X9076 and wanted to install CyanogenMod.
If I take one of the official download page (which are all CM 13) the screen shows everything in wrong colors.
I think (so far I read this from the other threads) it's because of a new displaypanel.
Is there any CM that is working for this display?
What is the problem with this panel, when can I install from official CM-Page?

Hi there! I think your best bet is to go and try omnirom either 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 whichever suits your taste.
Currently im running omnirom 6.0.1 on the new panel similar as you and it is absolutely great! I suggest that you should go and try it out.

New LCD + OmniRom = BSoD > Random Reboots // + Spectrum = Random Reboots
Hi guys
I really feel bad when i read your comments, and notice that you all succeed to get OmniRom runing smoothly.
I'm facing random reboots while using Omnirom (Spectrum also) with X9076 new LCD panel, and it get worst when it's charging.
Do anyone know how to solve this problem.
I already tried clean install by flashing last Spectrum (to get latest Modem & Firmware) then wiped all and flashed Omnirom 5.1.1/6.0.1, but it doesn't work
Also i saw somewhere that it will be good to reflash everything step by step so i flashed starting by ColorOS 1.2.9 then 2.0.8 then 2.1.5 then OmniROM but random reboots still occur.
Please guys help me, i cannot stand that anymore.
Hi, which recovery do you use? I flash omni (both versions) with TWRP (full wipes dalvik, cache, etc) and no issues, everything works fine, no bsod's, no reboots...
Cheers

I dont understand it mate, we have the same phone (x9076 + r63419 Panel) and the same recovery (2.8.7.2), but in my case this roms works great (5.1.1 and 6.0.1, both roms works fine)
Did you try to format data? Backup what you need and in the wipe menu, instead of wipe, try to format data, then flash the rom, the gapps, and wipe dalvik cache only before reboot. I dont know if this will work to you, but is the only thing I can think of...
I tried Spectrum rom too, and except for the known issues (camera, gps icon, etc..), everything else works right, no bsods, no reboots...
Good luck

that link is from wuxianlin, the best developer for find7 and oneplus.
It's a special version of cm12.1 released unofficially later the end of cm12.1 for find7 and it's for new panel.
I don't waste my time too, I have older panel so I don't have reason to flash It.

Newbie owner/questions

Hey,
Recently broke my phone and bought a Find 7 as a replacement. Hate the OS so started searching for ROMS etc. Never flashed anything or rooted anything so everything I've done so far - I've just learned.
I basically want to get as close to android 6.0 marshmallow stock as possible. Which ROM is the best for this?
So basically, I've tried to flash CM13 (latest release) which I got directly from their website, all goes well however when the phone boots the screen is blank. Volume rockers work, capacitive buttons work and haptic feed back there but screen is blank. Not sure what the problem is.
ANY help at all is appreciated.
I have the Find 7 QHD version which I think is the 7S? (X9076)
Thanks all!
1) You have to flash CWM or Twrp recovery to your phone. I recommend TWRP 3.0.2. Download it for your OPPO Find 7.
Flash it. Can be done via ADB.
2) You need micro SD card formatted by the phone! Not necessary but recommended.
2) Then download needed ROM( I like crDroid : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3171600
but it's developer left it. So no further support planned) to SD card(on PC of course).
3) Put the card into the phone.
4) On the phone: go to recovery mode. Wipe data, system, cache.
5) Install ROM from the micro SD card.
That is all. Enjoy it.

As for your screen being blank it maybe because you have a new lcd panel which the official cm rom does not support. Try flashing omni rom instead. Last nightly is from aug 30. It is very stable and very close to stock android.

Hey,
Recently broke my phone and bought a Find 7 as a replacement. Hate the OS so started searching for ROMS etc. Never flashed anything or rooted anything so everything I've done so far - I've just learned.
I basically want to get as close to android 6.0 marshmallow stock as possible. Which ROM is the best for this?
So basically, I've tried to flash CM13 (latest release) which I got directly from their website, all goes well however when the phone boots the screen is blank. Volume rockers work, capacitive buttons work and haptic feed back there but screen is blank. Not sure what the problem is.
ANY help at all is appreciated.
I have the Find 7 QHD version which I think is the 7S? (X9076)
Thanks all!

1) You have to flash CWM or Twrp recovery to your phone. I recommend TWRP 3.0.2. Download it for your OPPO Find 7.
Flash it. Can be done via ADB.
2) You need micro SD card formatted by the phone! Not necessary but recommended.
2) Then download needed ROM( I like crDroid : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3171600
but it's developer left it. So no further support planned) to SD card(on PC of course).
3) Put the card into the phone.
4) On the phone: go to recovery mode. Wipe data, system, cache.
5) Install ROM from the micro SD card.
That is all. Enjoy it.

Hey guys,
Many thanks for those tips (especially for the LCD patch - I'll have to try that).
So CM seems to be the best for Find7 at the moment but doesn't support unified storage? Does this mean I'll have this silly app storage limit? Anyway around it using CM?
As for the rest which is best (close to stock, stable, no bugs) -
RR
Omni
Nameless
Thanks
Omni is close to stock and very stable. RR and possibly nameless are both cm based.
Used omni for a couple of months and now using rr for the last couple of days. I would choose rr because of all the additional features.
Both are great daily drivers. Both support lvm so you can unify your storage in coloros and then flash either rom.

Hmmm,
CM thread has loads of additional things like installing some of the default apps like camera etc and how to get rid of all the bloatware.
I'll probably try nameless first since it seems to be the most popular next to CM. Its hard choosing one since theres so many! Out of Omni and RR which do you think is faster? What features does RR have that made you switch over to it?
If you truly want a stock like experience without too many features and full stability in your software then I would recommend Omni for you.
RR and DU have a lot of extra features relating to various visual effects that can be tweaked to your liking which can make your software look pretty, if you are interested in that sort of thing.
Cm is also stock like experience with some bugs here and there, nothing too big.
Nameless is based on cm with a few extra features but personally that Rom gives me bad battery life. (can be different for you)
Exodus, Mokee and Crdroid are just better alternatives to CM regarding features.
Edit: There are Roms that provide you with the option of LVM and there are those which only support stock partition. (Lvm is a way to enhance storage capacity).
Cm and a few other Cm based Roms that do not support lvm can be used with the chinese partition instead which also increases storage. But that is a bit lengthy process and for someone new like you I would recommend you to stay with a Rom like Omni which does support LVM.
Hope all this helped somehow

Twrp for multirom is good!
I have flashed it,but every custom non-Miui gives me black screen(Masik works fine).I can hear lock-unlock sounds,but everything else is black.Do you know any aosp-los based rom that works on this screen?
It is twrp multirom. You can flash any aosp/Los based in second partition
Yes,but it shows miui logo when booting starts and from there only black screen.I think that some drivers are missing in aosp/los based kernel from miui.And when developers port that drivers we will be able to use non-stock roms.
Did someone found solution for this problem??
same problem here

They need to update vendor blobs in recovery, so they can recognise the new screens.

Or they can try OrangeFox recovery for whyred.

Which is based on...TWRP, so in theory it should get the same issue (unless they updated some components inside twrp).
Edit: @DarthJabba9 Oh I just notice you're the one doing the OrangeFOX recovery page on XDA.
It looks great!
Can you comment then on why they should use OrangeFox recovery instead of TWRP? Have you updated some "blobs" (im referring to the bug report on github saying that's why the users have black screen)? Just a quick explanation (unless it's a try-and-see).

OrangeFox has no black screen issue, and has never had it, period. I cannot comment on why official TWRP has this problem (kernel? device tree? build system?).
As far as features are concerned, a list of extra features can be seen here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ment/twrp-orangefox-recovery-project-t3837547
relax guys
official twrp maintainer is already working on issue and it will be ready soon in 2-3 days (probably)
and orangefox devs just started working on issue

Yes, it's possible several things:
1) OrangeFOX did not had this issue because no one reported it yet
2) OrangeFox users did not have the new or different screen manufacturer
3) OrangeFox uses updated "Blobs" or whatever technical which would justify that the issue is not impacting (maybe root cause is unrelated).
That's the thing, it seems to be a few users who got a new HW, some it's because the screen had been broken and replaced. Others, maybe it's new versions of the device?
Yes, it's true, it's very simple, the user could simply flash OrangeFox and try. We read it was based on TWRP so I thought it was not going to change the missing "blobs" (unless twrp was modified in orangefox).
Anyway, we could also try for the TWRP person to comment on the bug and update, it's just everything long usually around here (I don't even have the black screen issue, I just want to know what was root cause).

Both of these. It is a kernel driver issue. All that one needs is an updated kernel. I am sure that Ankit will release a fix soon. I will certainly be releasing one for OrangeFox.

Thanks for the information!
Just for my understanding, the kernel can come with the ROM, right? Because I have flashed the latest "PE" rom and it comes with some version of DERP kernerl 3.4 xyz.
So how come that would be impacting at recovery level?
I mean, if you flash the rom the first time, it should then update kernel... So how come that user got a black screen at that stage?
Unless there's something else at recovery level...I just don't see how come it can work and then not work with the same kernel (I assume his device worked in MIUI before custom rom)...

Hey
Do you also have phone with huaxing screen panel ?
I've spoke to orange fox recovery dev and he said that there is barely any rom works with this screen, coz karnel sources isn't released by xiaomi yet. Pixel experience rom dev confirmed that.
Ankit said that any rom with GSI may probably work, but i doubt that
How can i test or prove it without actually getting "soft bricks" or without risk test roms with arb4 phone ?

I think this is getting OT. LEt's just say that recoveries have their own kernel, and ROMs have their own kernel. Both do not mix. It can be easier to get a kernel working with a recovery than with a ROM, because a recovery is a self-contained OS in its own right.
