About GEEHRC Roms.

Hey guys, I just realized a few of things in another forums what I was visiting to get another brand new rom.
The thing is, A guy in comment say that He can't use some sensors and stuff like screen rotation, etc.
I've the same problem like that guy, so, while reading the comments a guy says "You must to install first axxionkat 4.4 rom to get the full control or the sensors before to get a GEEHRC rom"
Now, I was looking for this rom and it seems it just dissapeared
So, What options I have now?
There is another 4.4 roms To install before a GEEHRC ?
Thanks you, I'll wait your answers

Hmm, i used the Stock LG Rom for long time and my last one was Android 4.4, firmware "E97520B_00".
Now i've updated to a custom Rom in case of Android 6.
The first was "PureNexus 6.0.0 r26" but i've got some problems with it, for example all Compass Apps like [APP][2.2+][Free] gabenative Compass did not work.
So now i try the Omni Rom [ROM] [GEEHRC] AOSP 6.0.1 [r3] [29/12/15] from Kevinjoa and it seems there is working everything fine.
Dont think you need to install another Rom before to "enable" sensors or similar, just take a Rom from guys who are know what they're doing and it looks like this Kevinjoa knows ^^

[ROMs] Nougat ROMs for Redmi Pro

Hello everybody!
This thread will be dedicated to Android N developement. Since now the ROMs are not ported (we have a device tree to compile from source) we can get any Android N ROM working but with the same bugs.
From now on i will be working on fixing the bugs of the device tree/vendor tree and any help with it would be apreciated.
I will share my device tree so that people can help with it:
Device tree: https://github.com/end222/lineage_device_omega
Vendor tree:https://github.com/end222/lineage_vendor_omega
Want to help?
In the device tree in github I have opened some issues where I try to put as much relevant information as I can about the state of each bug and the errors I am getting. Please give it a look to see if someone can help
Bugs:
Working:
It boots up
Speaker sometimes
Network
Wifi
Bluetooth
FM Radio
Chargin while being off
Flashlight
Rear camera without focus
Mobile data
Sound
Not working:
Calls
Camera focus and front camera
Headphones

In the end I didn't use the device tree I had done. CM sources were giving me warnings about framework, something related to non-existent images for the resolution of the Redmi Pro (CM had already closed when I downloaded them).
Then I took the ROM compiled by andrianom for the RN4 and resized the system dat by hand. Then I modifyed the kernel to get it working on the RM Pro.
So in the end this is a port from the RN4, it is not compiled from source. However I will try to compile Lineage from source as it is almost the same and the device tree I had made should work with some modifications

OK

I won't answer that question [emoji14]
I am still really new in the world of developing ROMs as Redmi Pro is the first device that I have used for developing. Then if I knew how to solve all the bugs maybe I could tell you more or less how long it could take.
However, the only thing I know is that I have to modify the vendor tree by mixing it with the vendor tree of other devices. So I cannot tell how long it can take and if I will be able to do it

Recommended resources
Hi end222 , I just got this phone. Love the specs / screen / performance. The only thing i hate is the OS. I had been using Nougat on a flashed Samsung S4. Just cant bear the older version of Android now, especially the notifications.
I am not new to the world of development but haven't developed ROMs before. Are there any recommended resources you have where I can learn the basics and add on to the work you have done so far. I would love to to be able to create version which can be used daily.

I would really love to see more people working for this phone.
What I recommend you is to read some of the MTK porting guides that can be found on the internet, for example, on xda.
The most important thing you have to learn from those guides is how to port the boot.img.
Do not try to port the whooe ROM using those methods because I tried and they result in most of cases in bootloop. So to port to Redmi Pro you have to:
- From RN4 just by porting the boot.img (and resizing the system image in Nougat) is enough to get it booting.
- From Apollo Lite you will have to copy also hwcomposer from the stock ROM, located in lib/hw and lib64/hw. Also do not forget to port also the boot.img
If you find any problem or have any doubt do not hesitate to send me a message and I will do my best to help

Lately, I have been always checking all the threads created expecting for any stable update to flash redmi pro but it seems everyone gave up from porting... Is there anyway to port an existing nougat ROM from other xiaomi model and getting stable ? At least the phone and the headset part... I am tired of MIUI ROM specially the weekly version...
Besides that I would to thank to all the people that had helped with this project without them I probably had sold my redmi pro already >.>

The closest phone to the RM Pro is the Redmi Note 4 and this is the best I have been able to do by porting from that device. The main problem is that the phone isn't working in the RN4 either.
Whenever I have more free time I will keep trying things. It should be possible to get at least a good working non MIUI ROM based on Android 6. However it would be much harder to get Android 7 stable

I want to try this ROM, can i downgrade to 6.0 based miui rom safely after I try this ROM? ini

Yes, you should be able to flash MIUI with TWRP after using this ROM. I would also recommend you to do a backup of MIUI before flashing it and then you can come back to MIUI without losing any apps

I tried this rom last night and its great to experience CM again, btw when im insert my sd card it says that my sd card is corrupted but its not corrupted and working fine when I tried it with my sisters MiMax...

Treble ROMS and Customs Stable ROM

Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is a ROM, no bugs in Moto G5, no camera errors, errors of synchronizing contacts, 4G.
I wanted a stable rom as the stock.
The Moto G5 is not compatible with the treble project , how to install treble roms? (There is always a method so I was wondering if there are methods to install treble roms on a mobile phone that does not support, and I know you guys from the XDA forum do not play in service so there is a method to install treble rom on the Moto G5)
*I'm sorry for bad English, I'm new to the xda forum, I'll be grateful for a helpful answer.

Technically the G5 does support treble but it's still quite buggy, I wouldn't recommend using it atm.

There are no fully stable ROMs yet (and I highly doubt they will ever exist because we don't have too many developers). The USB tethering and camcorder issues will likely still exist. Use stock or get a better device.

I am on AOSiP treble and it works fine. Moto actions don't work, but camera and contacts (after manually installing latest play services apk) work. So it really depends on what you need... I am talking of Oreo obviously.

List of roms with "Novatek NT36672" touch screen module support so far.

UPDATE: There is a telegram group with latest nightly builds of genom kernel, they are mostly stable, there may be a couple of ussues with some of them (like phantom touches or random battery inefficiency), however you can find kernels that support our touch panel in android pie, and oreo roms, and they run butter smooth compared to stock rom, (thank you rama982 and all contrubutors to Genom kernel). Just download a kernel build you like, and then flash it after the installation of rom. genom_ci
It has been an issue for a long time, since Xiaomi refuses to release kernel sources for this module (or so i been told), anyways, many people encouter the issue with touch screen that doesn't work after flashing custom rom (screen flickering, response lag e.t.c). This issue was brought up in this thread, however there is no answer to a question that excites most of "novatek" owners that are here - "what can i actually install of all roms". I decided to make a list of roms that happened to avoid this issue, i hope this will help users like me, so they don't have to spend literally weeks stalking, testing, looking around at all sorts of places only to find another rom that doesn't work.
1. This is the easiest one, all MIUI roms that are available for our device are working flawlessly, official global roms, custom ones, they all work (i personally prefer Revolution OS MIUI 8.10, since it has an option for the chinese bloatware and spyware to be removed, and i find it the fastest one).
2. Almost all nougat roms ( the ones that are based on android 7.1, (and maybe 7) ). Or at least 95% of them, i had issues with some of them, but it's okay that some roms are less stable than the others, you will have to find what works best for you.
3. As far as i remember, all roms based on android 8, 8.1 DO NOT work with our touch screen, except the ones that were mentioned here.
4. Who wan'ts a piece of a pie? I think everyone, but not all of us can get it, since there is only a couple of pie roms that work with our panels:
Aosp extended 6.0 (only 28/10/2018 release so far, developers told that they will fix it but they didn't so far, this release is pretty stable and snappy though).
Dirty Unicorns 13.0
(I really like the esthetics of this rom, and a philosophy that stands behind it, but release is missing some important features for me personally.)
lineage-16.0-20181115 (As stable as aosp extended, or even more. Perfect rom for a new user that doesn't care about a lot of features, and just wants to do basic stuff without any bugs and crushes) (IMO)
GZOSP from Here, it's even more simple compared to lineage, but a a bit less stable.
Thanks to rama982 we have Nitrogen Os, it works fine, things are strating to change. (Live a like to Rama982).
This list is potentially suitable for EBBG touch panel users, but as i have no device on hands to test it, i can't say anything about it. If you are wondering wich type of touch screen you have, you can dowload AIDA from play store, or any other "sysinfo" type of app.
That's all. I hope this will help you, it's the smallest thing i can do, as i love the community of this place even more than my morning coffee.
P.S. If i missed something, you can comment down below, or send a private message, we all make mistakes.

Try LOS16, Havoc, or Bootleggers - or try the latest Genom kernels.

I tried out AEX 10-28 for a couple of days. i went back to xiaomi eu beta for full screen navigation. i also opted for genom eas nightly for miui. i think i'll stick with this setup for a while.

In case anyone is interested, nitrogen os is working great on my ebbg display

i've tried pixel experience like @jharone23 said and it's working fine. i also installed genom nightly and it runs smooth. i think they worked out most of the kinks for novatek panel. i haven't tried the 12-31 build of the rom yet. gcam v5 works great. i also installed gcam v6 for better back cam low light and i'm satisfied so far. no problems with gps and lte. no network drops on wifi and data. i have mine rooted and installed kernel aduitor, also installed blex and youtube vanced from magisk repo. google backup works like a charm. played ro mobile for 4 hours straight on wifi. everything is great. note for benchmarkers, you would get lesser score in antutu compared to xiaomi eu rom with genom. i used to get 84k score with that setup but with p.e. and genom i only get 80k with performance setting in kernel aduitor. overall a 4/5 stars for user experience just because i was accustomed to full screen navigation in mi eu rom. A 5/5 stars in stability kudos to p.e. developers and genom. i won't be flashing any other rom for quite sometime as my current setup is stable enough as daily driver. maybe t.s. could include rom in the list. thanks jharone23 for the tip.

Phh aosp might work out of the box. Otherwise I've used LOS 17.1 (from this forum) and it can be made to work with nfc on global vendor, but that's not supported by the dev.
The reason most roms here don't have NFC is that most of the devs are from india, so they use the indian vendor; but the indian hardware doesn't have nfc (so the nfc stack is most likely missing from their supported vendor image).

I think to stop confusion these current custom ROMs should be marked as Begoniain only...
Once a ROM is out that has all the features of Begonia like NFC etc then it can be marked that...

I'm not so sure about that. The ROMs themselves have the features (except for some broken configs here and there). Just the devs won't "support" global. If I had experience doing any android-related dev work and the time&patience to deal with some of the demanding users around here, I'd have "supported" global rom for LOS 17.1. Maybe some money incentive on some of the experienced devs here would help? I mean, people usually pay for support on open-source projects.
Otherwise, I've put in nearly a hundred hours of "research" into this phone and you can read my posts on the LOS thread on how to get the other things working. It's more like things need a simple patch here and there (but some, like hotspot, do need a rebuild, I think); there's no need a completely new ROM.

Yes. Some GSI support nfc. For example I have working nfc on havoc 2.9 GSI official.
