This ROM is in no way suitable for daily use and is only shared so that other fellow developers can take a look and maybe provide fixes to one or multiple things on the "not working" list.
Take it as a very early proof of concept.
ROM DOWNLOAD: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554238
What I did to get this far...
1. I took the MI3W miui-germany ROM
2. I unpacked the MI3W's ROM
3. I unpacked the boot.img of the MI3W ROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
4. I patched the fstab.qcom and init*.rc files to match the Find 7a
5. I unpacked the latest OmniROM for Find7a
6. I unpacked the boot.img of OmniROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
7. I copied zImage and dt.img from OmniROM's extracted boot.img into MI3W's extracted boot.img
8. I repacked the MI3W boot.img
9. I bundled the MI3W system partition with the modified MI3W boot.img and uploaded it onto the internet for someone else to iron out the remaining bugs
What seems to work...
*) Basic Operation (MIUI apps, status bar, well what you would expect really)
*) Bluetooth
*) Wired Headset / Bluetooth Audio
*) RIL / Mobile Data
*) GPS
What doesn't work... yet...
*) WiFi (there seems to be some issues with wcnss / pronto / prima, this one is bad...)
*) Random Reboots / Blackscreen Glitches (from what kmsg tells me it seems to be related to wcnss, aka. WiFi drivers causing a critical error in kernel every once in a while, fix WiFi and this error will fix itself)
*) Speaker Audio
*) Rotation Sensor (and probably others)
*) Vibration
*) Skyline Notification Light
*) NFC

Good things always have the obstacles.
You've done your part. And let other(s) help you.
I don't have knowledge about cooking a ROM.
But I think someone can help. @Entropy512, can you look at this one?
If you want mae some cool port, i thikn sense rom is good candidate...
Great work
hey there mrcoldbird,
great work so far...keep it up..will definately help support you on this when it is up and running..i am not a dev but if you need someone to just bug report i am there for you,will keep my eyes n ears peeled on the thread and as soon as it's near ready i will flash and help you anyway i can...thank you for all your hard work so far
Right now we need developers involved in this. We know the countless obvious bugs.
Just have to fix them.
Awesome work. Thanks bird. Any chance you want to try lewa os while you're at it. I personally think it is better. I imagine just how busy you are but just wanted to throw it out there
Porting really should only be done when there is no source available for said ROM.
For unicorn a source rebuild might be better.

I was actually searching for people to help me with this but no one bit the bait yet.
I am continually working on MIUI, bit by bit... but due to reallife interference it goes... slowly.

Lewa OS is extremely similar to MIUI and that is why I even bothered to mention it. I know the developer is having some trouble with MIUI so I thought it would be useful and helpful to mention Lewa as it might be a project that will help the development of either or rom.
Please don't take a blunt tone with me (if that's what it was) as it only makes you look arrogant. Taking in to account our post and thanks scores it is quite clear who has contributed in a more positive way towards XDA. On that note; you might also want to thank MrColdbird in the OP for his contribution, which you have not done as of yet but you seem to be poking your nose in to the thread
That is all
Edit* I apologise MrColdbird if my suggestion was unwarranted.

I've pm one of the Miui dev from note 1 community, and hope that he willing to lend his hand for you @MrColdbird.
Mr @Gerrett, can you help him? If you got some free time. I know you so busy. But at least, just a little guide for him.

Actually I've got 99% of the issues resolved already by using a different port-rom in conjunction with a few OmniROM injects.
At the moment only the proximity sensor (screen off on holding the phone to your ear) and nfc are broken, lte works, but needs to be reselected every time the phone reboots via the service menu (dialer code).
Sadly, I'm not allowed to share that (quite nicely working) ROM just yet as I switched port-bases to a unreleased chinese one in favor of the MI3W port-base.
Until that chinese author releases his first public port base-rom I'm kinda bound by the promise I gave not to unveil things early.
Just hang in there, it shouldn't be long until you guys have MIUI on Find7a... all I can tell you is that it works nicely and without any critical flaws I can see except those mentioned above (which we will get fixed too eventually).

Hi there,
This thread is to collect the thoughts for this particular device. It is an Ecoo Aurora Plus (3GB) model but is also the variant which has a different processor (MTK6753).
Sadly there aren't many roms for this device yet. I was able to use the following roms with success:
(I cannot yet post links, so here are the breadcrumbs to the exact pages on "needrom" dot com.
TWRP
Home » - OTHER » E-F-G-H » ECOO » E04 Lite MT6753 TWRP
Android 5.1
Home » - OTHER » E-F-G-H » ECOO » ECOO E04 3GB+ MT6753
All of the important stuff works (from my perspective). I prefer something leaner, so I am waiting for a different rom to be available, but so far this one is pretty good. It was especially handy since you can't find the stock rom anywhere, and also when I bricked my phone and just needed something that worked.
Do you have this device? What rom/apps are you running on it?
Note: There were annoying ads appearing, which I was able to remove by using a different Launcher. The Ecoo Launcher seemed to be the source of the ads.
Hi I'm waiting for it, it's at the custom office now and I should get it soon in about a week I hope.
I've heard on an Italian forum of another guy who got a bug, usual on mtk 6753, with whatsapp crashing the camera when used from within whatsapp. Did you find the same issue with that rom?
Let's keep this thread alive if any updated rom will hopefully come.
bugs bugs bugs
I got mine a couple of days ago, with the latest 5.1 update. I got some bugs that are really annoying. The screen locks by itself randomly, the dropdown settings tab 50% of the time doesnt dropdown and the 3d performance is poor. Antutu full score on mine is a little over 36000, but as i said 3d is terrible (7fps at marooned scene and 4fps at garden scene). Also battery life is terrible.....
I dont know if i just got a bad piece or if they are all rom related, but i am willing to try a few roms before i decide to send it on a 3 month warranty trip back to china...
If i didnt have these bugs, i would say that this is a truly great phone and not just for its price range.
All help would be appreciated guys.

Crashing Camera apps - YES. I have tried many camera apps from the app store. They ALL crash the camera when taking a photo. The preview/viewfinder works, but when i try to take the picture, the camera freezes. Now I am using the ROM mentioned in the original post, and the camera app that comes installed with that ROM works.
Man I REALLY hate the pictures this phone takes.

Hmm. I have bugs, certainly, but I don't have those bugs you mentioned. I BELIEVE I did have the random locking screen bug when the phone was brand new, but I have not had that since I switched ROM. I haven't tried a 3d game yet.
Did you switch Launcher? I highly recommend it. It may even clear up some bugs. Keep us posted.
Yes it is still a great phone. We will get a great ROM one day.

I tried the Miui Home launcher with no luck concerning the bugs. Beautiful launcher though, but didnt keep it because for some reason it didnt show my google contacts although it was synced..???
So back to stock, and waiting for a solution, if it ever comes along..

Where do you get the stock rom? did you do a backup?
About the launcher, I had to remove the "Ecoo Launcher" because of ads (not really bugs). I did this with "Titanium backup" after I rooted my phone. Maybe give Nova launcher a try? Not really for bugs, just for a smooth experience.

Yeah, me too. Being a developer, I was hoping to visit the subject of making an AOSP one myself. Haven't had the time. I read that for MTK processors it's not so easy as MediaTek did not release the chip's "source code" (or something like that). But I'm curious about how other MTK ROMs exist.
I was thinking maybe its worth PORTING a ROM from a different phone with the same proc? Say and Elephone P8000 (MTK6753).
Hi, nothing happening yet with this phone? It just arrived to me and I will be testing it after a full charge soon. In meanwhile as for the camera bug used from whatsapp, a workaround has been found by Enabling the flash led after you open it from wa; it should work.
Still no love on needrom com. I tried your flash workaround and it works! I tried it with what's app and open camera. Good job!
Got some love on needrom. A little. A user who has made some roms for the MTK6752 version asked someone for some information about his device. I stepped in and offered to help. He asked me to take screencaps of my device info using MobileUncle. I have done this and sent it to him, but that was in a PM. For everyone's sake, here is a link to the compiled screencap of the Ecoo E04 3gb MTK6753 Device Info.

Try to make "something" for Ecoo e04 mt6753
Hi to all
Lately I am trying to help the owners of the Ecoo e04 mt6753. Today I have built a twrp 3.0.0.0 for your device ... if everything will works well ... then I will try to build a rom for your device. I need someone to help me to do some test about twrp ... it is because I am a owner of an Ecoo e04 mt6752 ... so I can't test the twrp on my device. I am not sure that twrp will works well ... BUT ... if everything will be all right ... then I will start to work on the rom project. In case anyone's interested ... please give me a feedback ... so I will send you the link of my twrp test by private message.
Regards
Yes please, count me in for the twrp

I have one last favor I would ask to you : please reboot your device into TWRP 3.0.0.2 recovery and make a screenshot of the main menu. Then please send me that screenshot to me by private message. I need that screenshot to publish the twrp on Needrom.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Friend. Are you sure that you have a working recovery? I tested the recovery on your Ecoo E04 3GB + tried different ways of installation . No one returned no results .
This device may be a few years old, but its still great. Support for it has almost disappeared, but there are still people out there like me that are on this device that can't/won't upgrade for one reason or another. Sure, Superstock is a great ROM, but lollipop is outdated, and having the features of custom ROMS but on a newer base would be freaking great. I am right?
I may have missed them, but as far as I could find on XDA, I couldnt find any nougat custom ROMs for this device. I would super excited to petition for one of the awesome developers out there to make a new ROM, even if it might be the last for this phone. Or maybe there is one, and I have just been much to dense to see it. Let this thread be for all posts related to the development of a custom Nougat rom, or sharing of one that already exists. Thanks everyone for reading and participating! :laugh:
EDIT: SM-G928T is the model number, just in case it isn't implied
"petition for one of the awesome developers out there to make a new ROM"
Wow... no need to do that buddy..
I'll save you the headache, hassle and lynching..
Check this out.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus
Heads up, read thru the thread carefully, many of these ROMs will require the "T-Mobile audio fix" to get in call audio, that is if you have the T-Mobile variant (G928T). You can search for the fix..
We can run Note 5 ROMs too, check out the TMo N5 or the Int'l forums, like I mentioned, above.

Thanks for the response. I had no idea we could run international ROMs on variant devices. I am having the issue you mentioned, though, with the call audio. So far ive tried two roms, flashed the fix, without any change. Ideas as to how i might get that working?
There is a audio fix on the T mobile Galaxy Note 5 page, it worked for me using Dr Ketan's rom

I do know that theres a few different "audio fixes" available. Im thinking they differ bcuz of the Android version? Just a guess, but what I'll do, is, I'll use only Roms that another 928T user already reported their success using it. I dont want to waste my time and effort being the guinea pig and then, for it not to work. Usually, whomever confirmed compatibility, will also list anything thats needed additionally to get it running, like the audio fix, along with link(s) to get it. If it doesn't work, they'll usually state the issues they found. Someone else's issue with it, might not be relevant to another person so they may decide to run it.
The best way to do this is to simply go to the OP of the Rom thread, in the upper right corner, you'll see a "search" option/box, (depending on browser or app, might see 3 dots instead, its a drop down list) click on it and enter our phone model, "928T, 928-T" or "T-Mobile, Tmobile, TMO " I try to cover the different variations, others here use to identify the phone. Seems like the search function, searches only the exact characters, as entered in the box, doubting it can identify and include similar known ones, so rather be thorough and not miss something. It searches your entry only in that particular thread and lists the results.
If you're braver than I, and dont mind going where no other TMO'rs have gone before and found only the in call audio isnt working, then its likely, flashing the audio fix is all thats needed.
The best way to solve this is, again, with a simple search. This time I'd recommend, a broader search using Google's search engine, type "XDA T-Mobile audio fix," bcuz this will search all XDA forums, more importantly, both S6 E+ and N5, carrier and int'l forums all at once. Then just go down the list if results, making sure that youre in either of the 4 forums, above, locating the download. Last I checked there was 3 or so fixes available, this was many months ago though. Anyway, having more isnt a bad thing, less would mean needing to go back and finding the one you missed. Once you have them, flash each one seperately, in recovery, reboot, confirm whether you're issue is fixed or not. If not, then continue these steps till it works. Flashing the audio fix won't mess your phone up. No need to reset, clear cache or anything of the sort, between each audio fix, just flash only the audio fix and rebooting is necessary. If you want to be organized, you can cross reference the dates of each audio fix, with the current firmware available at the time. That way you can flash any Rom you desire and will already have the fix ready.
Wow, my apologies, talk about rambling on about nothing more than finding correct file, flash your device, confirm its fixed, if not then repeat till its fixed. If no fix is found then, Rom isnt compatible...
Sorry, one last thing, Im sure that you'll help many others like yourself, if you had minute to post your experience with whichever Rom(s), you chose.
For example, "Rom works great, needed this (link to audio fix) for in call audio on the TMO variant"
It seems like you're the first 928T to try the Rom you have so,
report your experience, posts are permanent, its there forever, for any curious new comers, you'd be their hero! It'd most def get a "thx" from me.. :good:

Found a few ROMs that work without fixes and run nougat. Khongloi's s8 port works and has some of the best features I've ever had on this phone, but is heavy on the battery. AndroidSword's NFuel XL runs fast and light, but doesn't have edge features. The original NFuel also has full support for 928T, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm also working on my own custom ROM now since every ROM I tried was missing something I wanted.

I've just finished cooking a second version of my custom rom. Haven't had any issues so far. It's Called TrueStockN.
Here's a list of ROMs I was able to get working for the G928T:
Khongloi's s8 Port
Nemesis s7 Port
N-Fuel
TrueStockN
These are just Nougat roms I that worked for me off the bat, no additional audio fix required. Of course, there may be more, but these are the ones I know of and have used extensively.
I think it'd be a good idea to have a thread to find out whether Xposed for Oreo is working or not. In my experience it has, but at the cost of the camera functionality.
Anyone's experience with beta 2? Or workarounds for anything?
We should make an effort to produce some logs; I've already made three, and I'm just in the process of filtering them to upload to Pastebin and send them to rovo. So if you've got logs, go ahead and drop them here and I will add them to OP.

I used to be on Pure Nexus and obviously that hasn't been updated in a long time. I went on two different new ROM's that supposedly have no bugs and I had tons of bugs after following the instructions explicitly.
Is there a custom rom that actually is bug free the widgets work, the screen turns on without lag, and Google Assistant works???
I have tried a few roms, but personally I feel that non other rom has a better battery life and overall smoothness than the stock rom, just root it with Magisk and enjoy.
Loving Resurrection Remix with EXnoshadez Kernel and Xposed Greenify. Great battery life. I've tried Firehound, Benzo, Pixeldust, and Lineage. I'm preferring RR then Lineage as a close second.

Why do you prefer RR over Firehound?
I'm using Firehound and I find it solid and has all the extras I need. I was thinking of trying RR, but there seems to be a lot of bugs mentioned on the XDA thread.
Been using RR for a few days and doesn't have any major issues at all. Everything's been working fine.

RR has INSANE battery life, barely drains even if there are 3 audio mods installed, I would suggest using that. There is only one bug that is going to be fixed
Anything wrong with stock in particular? The monthly updates are prompt and basically effortless without needing to flash vendors or wait for the ROM developer to update. If you're not on stock (nonroot, locked BL), you run the risk of one day not being able to use apps that utilitize SafetyNet in case you use financial apps. Magisk has worked well in providing ways to circumvent it in a timely manner, but it is not guaranteed to always be able to bypass every update to SafetyNet, which the developer has mentioned.
ROMs aren't going to change the chipset magically to a newer one and increase performance substantially or add mAhs of battery to double the battery life. Android has matured since the days of using ChevyNo1 or P3Droid kernels on Sholes.
This is the conversation I am seeking. I am not going to say what ones I have used but Maps, widgets, WiFi calling, black screen when turning on. I want to avoid those situations.

Why do you prefer RR over Firehound?
I'm using Firehound and I find it solid and has all the extras I need. I was thinking of trying RR, but there seems to be a lot of bugs mentioned on the XDA thread.

I just decided to try all the publicly released ROMs. I was on Firehound before i switched to RR. I still have my TWRP backup of it. RR just hasn't given me a reason to go back.

IDK man, I see all that troubleshooting you're going through trying to get the device to run normally through the Pixel section. Is it really worth all that just to be able to change some cosmetics?
Stock will give you zero issues and save you the headache of what you're going through. Wouldn't it be nice to never have to worry about plugging into a computer to update, formatting or data, or spend so much time trying to get a device working? While at the same time, you get the updates as soon as they are available.

I used to be on Pure Nexus and obviously that hasn't been updated in a long time. I went on two different new ROM's that supposedly have no bugs and I had tons of bugs after following the instructions explicitly.
Is there a custom rom that actually is bug free the widgets work, the screen turns on without lag, and Google Assistant works???

I wish mods would get rid of this guy. All of your "questions" are absurd and its annoying to see your profile pic spammed throughout all the threads.

OK folks. I want to apologize for my flooding of the forums attempting to repair my situation last week. Yes, I have been flashing for a long time without real complications. I haven't been on my ADHD meds for a while and that did not help me with the drama last week. Unfortunately my world like most of you is in my phone, I was panicked. Sorry about that.
Needless to say I needed other eyes on what I was doing for perspective sake. I went to my PC tech, luckily had personal flashing experiences with Android, Pixel even. We worked on it for about 6 hours in total. He couldn't get RR to work.
The issue was this after following the OP instructions. Once in the system I couldn't get the WiFi to connect with the phone, not being able to download whatever the phone was looking for. Google play services kept FC'ing. Google TTS kept FC'ing as well. I don't know if there is a fix or a forthcoming fix for this abnormal issue. I deleted data from the apps that were FC'ing and other Google that might be related. PS: not a RR issue I had this same issue with Benzo)
Unfortunately, we didn't save anything from the old RR setup because I couldn't be without a phone for another day. Any constructive thoughts would be welcomed.
I shall attempt to reinstall RR at some point to see if it works, or to get data to help the devs understand what might have happened or might had happened.
I am back on stock, not loving it that is for sure.
