Which one are you using?

I'm scared to update to any as tried from Lollipop to MM and got the dreaded bootloop
Did it twice, raw install second time round and same issue
Still looking to install newer OS but so hesitant
Interested to hear what's a good OS to upgrade to also
Sent from ASUS ZE551ML ^_^

Lineage OS = Stock Design
ResurrectionRemix = Stock Design also but more customization options
For the battery, it depends on the user.
Btw, I'm currently using RR

Hi, I'm currently using the latest Lineage OS for ZE550ML (Z008) plus Greenify app with root permissions to ibernate the apps that I don't care about when my zenfone goes to sleep. Thanks to Greenify I can have a lot more battery than the Marshmallow original stock rom.
I have one question: If I want to switch to ResurrectionRemix I have just to flash the ROM with TWRP, but what if i want to switch on CyanogenMod 13? Is it the same way? Have I just flash the CM13 with TWRP? Anybody knows? Thank you!

well, i don't want to be/sound like the 'captain obvious' here ; cos i'm currently facing the terrifying error message on boot: "Can't load invalid boot image"....BUT i strongly believe that the point of installing TWRP is to be able to flash custom ROMs to your phone right?
So what makes CM.13 different from the others? Just like any other ROM, i believe they follow a pattern...same way u installed LineageOS - same thing applies to all... UNLESS:
1. U are new to these whole stuff about flashing and
2. U are uncertain about the kind of ROM u are about flashing (whether or not its meant) for the Laser....
Conclusion of the matter: YES, IT IS THE SAME WAY

For sometime now (before bricking my zfone), i've been asking myself the same question...but as someone mentioned earlier, u r the better judge! But how can u be a better judge of things u hv no idea of right? awesome! u can follow these few steps to make a decision for yourself.
1. Install and use LineageOS for 2weeks (or more--to about a month), then wipe it off and clean install Resurrection Remix for the same period of time. Once u fall in love with one, that's the best for u....OR
2. Install both in dual-boot, use them interchangeably for about 2 weeks (or more). If u feel comfortable with one, u have your choice! then wipe clean the phone to make way for a clean installation of your favorite rom.....OR
3. (I won't advice u to do this, but it may help)....Watch videos about on YouTube, read reviews online et al....and make your decision based on that which u think is best for u....but once again, to pronounce judgement based on someones' experience can be hazardous!!!!!
THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT!!!
BTW, if you care to know what i'm using....Was about commencing my test with LineageOS b4 the zfone went crazy....going with the first option....

Recommend a not laggy ROM for HTC One M8 Harman/Kardon edition

Hello, I want to switch my phones OS from ViperOneM8 to a Nougat ROM, but i had a bad experience previous months with it. As i searched, I've found Ressurection Remix and Xeno HD, both of them running on Android N, but they were laggy and had issues with the SD Card - It was instantly injected and ejected. And i want to know, if there are some decent Android N ROMs for this model of One M8, or maybe the previous roms which I talked about have got better and thes issues diaspeared?
LineageOS seems to be the best IMHO.
Jw 5.4

That's interesting. I have also test drove all the latest current Ron's we have and it ended up being the best with my setup.
As we all know, performance is going to vary widely depending on what apps you have installed etc etc, so I'm telling you this for no other reason than to say that it's not junk across the board at least for me. It may have to do with your setup because the ROM itself out performs the others in my situation. Good luck and take care!!

Ok I'll try it one more time , but it can also be the problem that, maybe they do the custom rom only for original m8 not also H/K version. I know that it is a nonsense, but maybe. BTW what should I install Nightly or regular version, and should I get GAPPS or there are already installed GAPPS ?
I have installed Ressurection Remix 5.8.5, and i managed to run it well, but i have a little problem , apps which need internet connection crash after a little time from starting them. /they seem to start, showing a black screen, after what the system returns a message where is written that the app is not responding. whta can be done?
Resurrection Remix has no lagging problems

About to recieve a OnePlus 3. Anything I should need to know?

I bought this device today.
I got it because I wanted to get into custom ROMs/Root.
Is there anything I need to know about this phone that will be helpful? Tips & Tricks?
Also I hear talk of Lineage OS vs Oxygen. Which is better and why? (Please don't be LINEAGE OF COURSE FTW, I want reasons. Couldn't find that anywhere)
Should I chose Oxygen beta 8.0, or the Lineage beta for 8.0?
Coming from an LG V10 (AT&T) where I couldn't modify it for ****, and broke after a little over a year (LG Bootloop issue)

The ROM you want to use can only be your decision based on what features you want for example if you want loads of tweaking features then I'd suggest resurrection remix and for the very latest android version then oxygen OS or lineage 8.0 both are good in their own ways you'd have to check the description to see which suits your needs , one big tip I can give you though is to always use the latest blu_spark recovery because its been modified to support a variety of ROMs and if your a flashaholic like me then always perform a nandroid backup before switching ROMs its simple advice but can save you loads of time if you don't like the ROM you've chosen and obviously before trying to unlock the bootloader via adb then enable developer options and enable OEM unlocking (some people forget) good luck and enjoy this wicked phone...

Xceeder was talking about recovery, not kernel. Since this phone is new for you, certain idiosyncrasies of this phone must be learnt. One of them is the recovery. Ofcourse official TWRP is there but it will not work with many custom ROMs. One of the best recoveries for this phone is made by bluspark who is well-known for his kernels. It is that recovery which Xceeder was talking about. I also use the same.
As regards ROMs, apart from what Xceeder stated, if you are satisfied with a smooth and battery friendly ROM, I can recommend VertexOS. But it will not have any bells or whistles. Another battery friendly and smooth ROM with some tweaks built-in is PureFusion. Both these I have used. But if you need many tweaks, go with Xceeder's recommendations. As he said, ROMs are a personal choice and what I like, you may not. So read about a few, flash a few and finalise.
Advance wishes for a happy experience.

Ah ok only reason I said kernel was because [kernel] was the first thing that came up when I typed in blu_spark.

I think if you flash just one and not try others you are short changing yourself. At that point you may has well not even unlocked your phone, stay full stock.
Looking to flash just one Rom is like just trying one flavor of ice cream and then deciding all other flavors are not worthy. Do not let someone tell you what is best, try as many as you can, then you tell yourself which is best for you. Each has its own advantages and each has it own flaws only you can say which you like best. As for the word Stable, they are all about the same... Some are more out of date but that does not effect its stability. Try them all and have fun.

NEVER try to downgrade => permanently bricked phone.
ie if you're on nougat, DON'T try to go back to MM.

I think it would only bricked if i update back again to nougat, right? I dont mind staying in rooted MM than to be uptodate with N which drain battery faster

I have heard it both ways - bricked on MM or bricked on return to N. It's your phone. Just realize the chance you are taking.
I have found @AmulyaX 's

(7.1.2) to be fantastic on battery life. Much better than MM. It's what I use most of the time these days until Oreo gets sussed.

Sorry for big delay - life keeps getting in the way...
TWRP that backs up EFS here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...overy-unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-0-option-t3743116
I had somebody's 3.2.1-0 and after second attempt was able to get it to flash it (choose "image")
Remember, with these TWRPs when you boot to it, the screen seems locked at menu so just tap pwr button and tap again and slide to unlock and you're good to go.
Scroll down Backup screen to see box for EFS.
There's also an app that backs up EFS (root I think).
For root I believe all I did was flash majisk 1530 zip in TWRP. -
To do that: flash ROM, flash gapps, install, then reboot to TWRP and flash 1530.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk
second post.
Oh I see 1531 is out, so try that.
1530 or 1531 will auto install magisk mgr so you don't have to do anything. root plus safetynet. Works fine for me. I'll be back in a bit.

good night, I'm using several ROMs and testing on my zplay bike, the problems I'm encountering I've flagged. if I answered with the problems is because I liked the ROM, because the other ROMs that I did not like, nor signaled any mistakes. today I am in the last version of 8.1 AOSP, tomorrow I will quote bugs.

Any OFFICIAL LineageOS 14.1 users?

Long story short, I'm looking for the most stable and refined custom ROM for the MZP. I'm currently using Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and while everything is working fine, it isn't really that refined. As it is ported from what I guess is the Google Pixel, the OS thinks that the device is a Google Pixel. For example, when I set up the device, it shows the banner "Finish setting up your Pixel". Also, when I register my fingerprint to unlock the device, the setup shows to use the index finger and touch the sensor located on the rear of the device (like the Pixel's). Charging with the phone powered off is also bugged, as it shows nothing but "Charging ??/100". I know these may seem like small things, but I'm a person with extreme attention to detail (almost borderline OCD) and things like these just bug the hell out of me, even though it isn't the devs fault at all (mad respect to Alberto).
Basically, I want a custom ROM that is MADE for the device, not ported. If you guys get what I mean. Polished is the word, I guess.
Seeing as LineageOS 14.1 is officially supported, do these cosmetic flaws exist? Can any LOS users confirm this? I apologize for bugging this sub with my stupid questions, I just want to settle with my phone once and for all.
Thank you to all for your help!

Hi there,
None of the cosmetic flaws you said exist on the official LineageOS 14.1 ROM. I'm using it for several months now and it is certainly the most polished ROM created for this device.
By the way, I've tested weeks ago Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and it was a weak experience. It wasn't optimized as I expected, some of the animations were jerky and I noticed multiple bugs.
I definitely recommend using LineageOS 14.1 ROM if you want a good experience. Also, I recommend using 7.1 ROMs instead of 8.0's/8.1's. They are way more stable and optimized.
If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, that's bad.
You should post a message regarding this issue on the Official Lineage 14.1 topic to make the developper aware. I think that's not hard to make the bootloader compatible, it should be some parameters to change

I contacted the maintainer and he said it's not as simple as that, as there may be incompatibilities with a bootloader from a different Android version. We're messaging each other for the past few days and he sent me a test build. The flash succeeded, though we are unable to make it boot up.

I asked him yesterday but he said that it's against rules to ask for ETAs (even when I only asked him if it would come out, I didn't ask when :/)
Read the thread, one user already posted his email address here, though don't even try to ask him stuff like that again as surely he will link that to me.

The dev (mccreary) just fixed the issue and official LineageOS 14.1 will now be compatible for Oreo bootloaders on the next build (May 2).
I have sideloaded the Oreo OTA on stock firmware.
Now i want to go back using LineageOS 14.1, anyway to do it?

Happy to know that the developer fixed the issue @djdelarosa25. Well, it was a great idea to send him an e-mail.

Lineage 14.1 is Nougat based and it will not flash as it will display bootloader error while flashing in twrp. Wait for Lineage 15 or as djdelarosa25 said [/COLOR]

Is there any news for Lineage 15? I am kinda use to Oreo so I am looking for an Oreo ROM. I like AOSP no doubt but I'd also like to try a ROM that is build from scratch for MZP only.

Yeah, thanks for helping me, man! The dev was really cool - replies, debugs, and compiles really quickly as well. Talk about pro.

I already asked him if it was in the works and he said don't ask for ETAs. I asked him again today and told him I wasn't asking for a date, just a confirmation if LOS 15 is in the works. We'll see what he says.
EDIT: So it counts as an ETA then. He said we'll just see it come out (so I guess it is in the works). But I wouldn't worry that much, the dev works really fast.
and yeah, I like a ROM that was made for the MZP as well. As much as I like Alberto's ROM, a ROM built from scratch > a port (though LOS 14.1 is Alberto's work as well). It's a pity he quit development of it.

Which ROM ?

Coming from stock 7.0 and November 2017 security patch what ROM would you recommend that in the words of Apple fans 'just works' ?
Is lineage 15.1 still the best option .. .. Am I right in thinking it no longer gets updated ? Is that because all the bugs have been ironed out or because developers have moved onto Pie ?
Are there any negatives I should be aware of. ?
I've used Lineage before, it has given my old Samsung tablet a new lease of life.
Search didn't bring up any results newer than august 2018.
Thanks
You should read the threads and what people think about the ROMs. There are some really good devs out there doing great jobs, but to give you a wrap up would be to much here. I run on Resurrection Remix and am pretty happy, everything works as I need it.
I think best rom is ResurrectionRemix and bootleggers. Those are perfect rom. I use rr but i want to flash bootleggers. But if we can give pie lineageos it will be perfect.
Im cr droid user best rom ever:good:
And LineageOS if you want a basic ROM with quite good battery. I get three days out of mine - not stock levels but close enough for Oreo

A quick read of the RR thread and the last post says development has ended and I quote "Even though I wasn't able to fix many issues I've learnt quite a lot of things."
Well,that puts me off straight away.......many issues ?

I wasnt see problem. His probably write the wrong discussion.
Every os has its ups and downs. Try evrythng and see what works best for u. U might be a battery person or a guy who like customisation or outright performance. Or u just want something stable and light. I would suggest try lineage 16, aosp 6, rr 7 and Crdroid 5.2. One of these should satisfy you.

Given this is my 1 and only phone and I also run a business off it I'm not looking to experiment with different roms.
I just want one that will work as well as stock.....including battery life.......but hopefully have more recent security patches.
I've heard android 9 sucks the life out of batteries so that would mean lineage 16 would not be suitable I guess.

Who told u that
Coz, AFA many users of P2 are concerned, including me, having the best battery out here. If you want to experience try Crdroid, its having so far pretty good SOT and with less or almost no bugs,which can prevent it from becoming a daily driver. :fingers-crossed:

My suggestion would be to go through phases of upgrading;
Install a treble enabled TWRP that should be available in LOS 15 page.
Install LOS 15 for updating treble A only partition (check the whole process for that in LOS 15 page)
Then, install RR 7 of 3rd April for updating vendor partition to latest security patch (later versions have bugs)
Now, you are in a position to have a ROM of your choice, if you want a up-to-date ROM without many issues and minimal customization then opt for LOS 16 or Mokee Pie. If you want plenty of customization with stability then go for CrDroid Pie. If you want a ROM which is up-to-date and have plenty of customization then look for AEX Pie or Havoc 2.4 (13th April version as later versions of Havoc 2.4 are buggy). For rooting, you can use Magisk 19.0 without issues whereas, nano gApps work fine.
You will have to go through all this cycle before resorting to a ROM of your choice. However, when securing lock screen with fingerprint; don't opt for encrypting phone at start. Just select "NO" when asked otherwise phone camera and torch won't work.
