Agreed, stock is best.

Latest Rom 550ML

i heard that latest rom for 550ML got too many bugs. (2.19.40)
and a few days later, ASUS release a new rom with a bugfix. (2.19.40.13)
so i want to ask if the latest rom is stable enough? or still got a major bug on it?
do you prefer upgrade to the latest rom or downgrade to the previous version?
upgrade to 2.19
downgrade to 2.17
which one is more stable?
anyone?

upgrade it might not cause a trouble to your device as many are saying mainly US users that the phone is now more smooth and giving better SOT but as an indian user i didn't feel this change rather a deproving one so it depends on u and if u don't want to update then wait for the 5.1 1 release which is on 15-17
wow great. i think i'll wait for 5.1.1 instead flashing the 2.19 version. yeayyyy we will get new lollipop update! but where did you get this information?

zen talk and in internet its out
just check by searching "5.1 lollipop asus zenfone 2"
I haven't seen any issues with 2.19.40.13. So I'm wondering where these bug stories are coming from.

[Z00D]ZE500CL Bootloader/Dev Situation

What is the developing situation for our 'small' zenny?
Does we need the solution to unlock bootloader or it's already unlocked?
Does we have a recovery?
Does we have a custom rom?
Sorry 4 my bad english, but im italian :fingers-crossed:
I am interested in this phone too. I am deciding whether to buy it but I want to be able to unlock the bootloader.
Since I don't have it, did anyone try the method for the other Zenfone 2 models on this ?

It doesn't have the same CPU. It has the older gen Atom Z2560. I presume you'd have to go to the Asus ZenFone 5's threads to ask this. Maybe their custom ROM will work on this little guy.
Nothing that works on the ZenFone 2 works on the Zenfone Z550CL. << Edit, sorry.

If you are stating about the ZE551ML and 550ML, every custom rom works on the 550ML but change the resolution and it works perfectly fine.

Yes, saw original before you edited, however, no one as far as I know have tried the methods of unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing custom roms from the Zenfone 2 550/551 or the Zenfone 5 on the 500CL so it could work and nobody knows.
Same was happening with 550ML before someone tried out the unlocking method and roms from the 551ML.

It won't work though because the CPU is entirely different.
Like it's the old Atom Z2560 all the Zenfone 2s have the Z3560 or Z3580, that's why it won't work at all whatsoever.
The ZenFone 5 is the forum you have to refer to because it has the same CPU in the 500CL.
I believe it's been called a "Rebrand" before.

Where are the devs?

The phone has been out for a while however i'm surprised there are no custom roms available for this phone yet.
Because those rom bakers only look for Phab 2 Pro... lol
2 plus is better, the way i see it. costs less, more people will get it and many would like to root and rom it.
im looking into getting it soon(if i can deal with letting another $200 go -just got the doogee y6max not long ago) I also just want to be sure i have the root process figured out. With the doogee, i asked for help and received none...but i still rooted it, luckily without problems.
I'm really hopeful some people jump in and get development going full speed on this phone(wishful thinking, maybe).
ROM tutorial, andriod for Levono phab 2 plus.
Hi I'm a developer and I have been looking for a custom ROM to upgrade my levono phab 2 plus to andriod 7.1 but it seems there is no such thing on the web, I'm wondering if does anyone know where I can find tutorials about how the ROM works and what should be modified in order to upgrade my phone? I can work on it it's just that I have no idea how android works so if can you provide information I will appreciate it.
Thanks,

What is the best ROM for gaming?

Hi to all Note 5 users. I just bought a Note5 AI Dual camera and now im waiting 15 days to unlock BL. While waiting on that I want to ask whats the best rom for gaming and also is there any kernel that unlocks the full SD660/Adreno512 potentials if there exists. Sorry if this question has been asked and answered a lot, im new to the xiaomi scene. I really want to install the PEX rom but i heard most pie roms have lag.
Only MIUI
Use any oreo aosp/lineage based rom for gaming

Hey! I'ld highly recommend you to flash oneplus6 hydrogen rom. Highly stable and best gaming experience after experienced various roms. ?

No more roms from xioami.eu for RN8 Pro.

Bad notice for our RN8 Pro. No more roms from xioami.eu for the RN8 pro for lots of brick by flashing magisk, twrp or modules.

Well there not doing it right because my phone's working mint with custom recovery and root. They jumped ship to soon.
Yeah sad news.
It's starting to look development will be limited as always with mediatek devices.
I'm satisfied with root and stable EU 10.4.5 except for the Google dialer without call recording.
But I'm not even sure if it's safe to update to latest stable 11 global EU. Snapdragon would have been the safer choice.

I agree. I m on stable from xiaomi.eu with magisk and twrp working perfect. The problem is android 10 in dev rom. No recovery with android Q suport for rn8 pro. I remember lots of brick in rn5 pro (SD) with rollback. And all was solved in a few weeks. Very disappointed with xiaomi.eu.

Yah the problem is there updating the hell out if this device and it's getting more & more updates. It's hard to build a development on something that's constantly changing. Right now I'm looking into cooking up a custom kernel for the RN8 pro. It needs that right now for the audio mods like viper and LKT and kernel audiator because you can't manipulate the parameters of the audio. Right now I'm happy with the stock rom it works good and it's stable. I've never built a kernel so I foresee a brick coming my way. Lol

So if it's true it was only because of Android 10, they should have just freezed development for that. Not stable 9, they removed those downloads too.
Does anyone know safe procedure to update rooted 9.4.5 EU global (not xiaomi.eu) to 11.0.1.0 ? Is it worth it anyway?

I'm very interested in trying. I have done a lot of research and downloaded Android ndk and Android studio. Prob is I run windows 10 pro and it seems developing is a lot easier with ubuntu fedora. I have a laptop modified with ubuntu already established. Haha my gf gets mad as hell when I brick phones and I just laugh and say I'll get it. Unfortunately my back up my mi mix 3 I'm waiting for my screen replacement to come in. Might be using the old modded to death lg g3.
Ah, bad news indeed. I hope it'll quickly resolved. G90T is such promising SoC
One question, is source code still broken? No new news from xiaomi? Maybe xiaomi just taking their time to give us Android 10 codes instead short lived PIE codes. Unfortunatelly, I can't help because zero experiences in programming

Haha. Yah mines seen some stuff. Ruining brand new devices. Brand new lg v20 blew the q fuse she was pissed. There is a guy on here at xda that is lisenced to EDL mode he can unbrick via TeamViewer for like 2.50$ and he's willing to help. Are you rooted with TWRP installed.

I've got twrp and magisk root running.
Normally I'd just flash full zip and flash magisk, wipe cache and reboot.
I'm just wondering if someone upgraded to 11 rooted and what procedure.
How's 11 anyway compared to 10?

I was in miui 11 stock (oficial upgrade) , flashed twrp, installed miui 11 stable xiaomi.eu and root. I bricked the phone flashing dev rom android 10. I think android 9 roms are safe to flash anything. The problem is in android 10 roms. Be careful.
I use xiaomi.eu on my begonia.
Fast and very very low battery drain - better than official global rom from xiaomi.
its sad about end of develop this soft. Only android 10 have problem with flash and do brick.

No roms in xiaomi.eu servers for rn8 pro. I flashed images of stock fastboot rom (tgz format). I delete the dev rom xiaomi.eu.
