Which ROM - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been using ARHD for a while and whilst I'm still yet to customise and utilise it I am wondering what other good ROMs that are worth looking at in your own opinions.

How many of you still use Blue Angel

Hello
I am curious how many users here at xda still use (I mean use, not just have) a HTC Blue Angel.
For me it is a great device for daily usage, much better than the new Android phones, which looks all the same (only screen).

Flash WM5 or higher and you don't need a internal battery
I use it with my work sim
I use mine as organizer, multimedia player and gaming console (sometimes), and it's my only actual phone working. It's really tough and almost 8 years old...
I use mine occasionally for surfing at home or if i need internet access when i've got a stall at a fair.
It looks like the device is still alive, huh?
my BA is still running, i installed many apps that very useful to my activities....love it :good:
I use it as my only phone every day... that explains why I can't wait for d-two to release new Android builds that are more adequate for daily use

New to the Zenfone 2

Hey all,
I'm new to the Zenfone 2, coming from the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus so I'm wondering if you can give me your best recommendations as far as rooting and Zen based ROMS. I have the ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition being delivered today. I don't want to mess with anything CM related at the moment until I have had a chance to play with it and until it's bug free, 100%. Thoughts & suggestions???

Welcome to Zen Family!
Root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
(3.1 Rooting Zenfone 2, Method 3 (1 CLICK ROOT TOOL) - best option in my opinion)
ROM : Prism Barebone V12.5

(if you want bloatfree stock experience)
P.S. Bootloader need to be unlocked and TWRP installed for flashing roms
Cool thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to this device. Bought my gf the 64gb version a couple of months ago and she loves it

If you decide to unlock bootloader, use the unofficial unlocker as it doesn't give ASUS your IMEI and stop OTA's being pushed to you if you decide to stick with stock rom for a while...
Thought I'd mention, once bootloader is unlocked you can't re-lock it...

Thanks! I'll definitely look that up and go through the process
My advice is if you don't want anything so special then don't root it, you can now uninstall almost every of the bloatware without rooting. And the stock rom is good enough I have no complaints, knowing that I was a root addict with my last phone. There only thing that I think makes rooting worthy is the adblock. You can't find any decent non-root adblock.

Well, you can uninstall the 3rd party bloat. You can't uninstall the Asus/Google stuff, but can now disable most of it, which is good enough.
@MikeyLee I thought your name looked familiar! I came from the Mate 2, too. The stock rom has gotten much better over time. Prism Barebones is great, especially if you want a clean slate without going to CM. Also like @ultramag69 said, use the unofficial bootloader unlock method.
For the moment I have 2 months with this cellphone, the 4gb is excellent but the battery is terrible I wait it will solved with android 6.0

Exactly my sentiments regarding rooting. I've had the phone for 9 months and have no reason to root. I use Adguard and it's a very effective no-root adblocker.
My only recommendation echoe rom go check it out i b his forum at echoerom.com
It is stock based but will give you an awesome experience with amazing speed and decent battery life

It did not come with a card but I did already have one. It's the 128GB internal storage, 4GB RAM 2.3mhz Intel Atom
Z3580 processor. There were actually things missing from it but it's brand new and was factory sealed. It was missing the second battery cover and the headset that was supposed to come with it. Kinda pissed about that.

I don't want to return the entire thing and be without it for that long. Just want them to send me the items that were supposed to be included. At this point I think I will contact ASUS. I should have bought it direct from them

1. Pretty good
2. No but it charges quite fast still.
3. idk.
4. Great
5. I like it. It is not a flagship camera but pretty good for this price range. I've read that the quality of the camera in the custom rom's is worse than in ZUI. Dunno about that. I never used ZUI and I am happy with custom roms and their picture quality.

Thanks everyone for the help. Beast is coming very soon.:laugh:

What about the issues reported about its touchscreen, VoLTE, etc., because unlike other devices' forums here on xda, I'm seeing so many threads regarding random issues; I'm unsure if this is because of the user or the quality of this phone. Agreed, this phone is fantastic value for money, but these random apparent issues just keep me doubting the Z2. I'd like to use this phone for about 3-4 years before an upgrade.

Okay so I have been following all the threads about the phone.
Volte is working fine on stock with no issues and also on custom. ROMs now.
Touch screen issue I dont have idea. Other things are fine as per info I have. For 11k INR can't expect SD820 but I'm getting it soon.
As of now I'm using redmi note 3 and Dev support for it is awesome. I see Dev support for Z2 is also fine.

Thank you for the quick reply. While the Z2 may be a good choice, I'm tempted to get the G5 Plus or the Redmi Note 4, because they're both phones that are well put-together. If I could, I'd get the OP3T for the same reason. Or a Droid Turbo off eBay. Just a few phones I'm considering. The Z2 Plus doesn't seem like wise choice considering long-term use (3-4 years) and overall reliability (without giving me random issues), at least not to me (yet). Just a gut feeling. Or maybe I'm being too cautious. But I'm sure if did get it, I'd unleash the flashaholic in me and flash a rom right after I receive it :laugh:
Do post a little review and camera samples (preferably while running a custom rom; I could find only stock rom samples) after you get your hands on it! For 11k it's definetely a steal! :victory:

Wow, lucky you...!!! [emoji39] I saw the offer a few hours later, and until then 64GB-11k offer was gone. But I still ordered 32GB at 10k from Flipkart and using it since last 24hrs. It's a good phone. The size of the phone is really perfect. I had thought that I won't be liking ZUI, as I'm always on stock through Custom ROMs, but surprisingly, it's good. Gonna use it for some time. Will flash custom ROM once I get bored with ZUI. [emoji106]

twrp problems are gone in lastest builds, and newest codeworks trwp support /vendor partition for treble support...
There is no problems with 1+5T, the problem is the user.
I was in the same boat as you, should I wait for the 6 or go for the 5T decided that I did not want the Notch as I always rum Custom Roms and like to have a lot of extra's on my Status bar ans the Notch was a deal breaker for me. I went with the 5T and have not been disappointed at all it is a great phone. Very happy with my decision.
