Then CleanStock is the obvious choice for you!The latest build plus a hack the developer did,allowing multiple accounts!

Thank you for your advice. And this 223 version is some kind of final one? Or ASUS planned to make further updates?

I think any ROM updates will be for security patches.

i really don't know.I do know they're not planning to give us N...unless we push a little!

Ran .223 for over a week complete stock , I managed 6hrs SOT on .184 M stock , .223 never came near it TBH . Then I did a factory reset and now its closer to 6hrs , will give it a few days n post a screen shot here for you

I've been having problems with my display since last update: apps with dark/black backgrounds don't show up correctly, just a bunch of bands, lines, half images and distorsion... anybody here having the same issue?

I can today confirm .223 M uses approximately 2.5% more battery per hour than .184 M and LineageOS on my Z00A

Complete stock Dan , flashed back to .184M and after first full charge , managed 6hrs 10mins SOT , now just this minute factory reset .184 M, leaving a couple of days to get optimized before installing LinOS when it goes official :good:

Stock launcher icons

Hey guys, im a sad owner of a J500FN because it doesnt have 6.0 update So im stuck with 5.1.1, but how can i change the launcher icons to the nice round icons, because i really like them? And flash successfuly with odin after that
At the Theme Store, you may choose a theme that has these icons. For instance there is the TouchWiz 6.0 by Kendi or the Note_5 theme with rounded icons. Sad J500FN owner here as well.

I would be more than happy to be on 5.1.1 than 6.0.1 on J510FN cause Samsung limited fonts to their ones only... No root
I am on J500FN and the update came in october last year..
Why don't you guys just flash 6.0 using odin?
My friend has S6 and he did't receive marshmallow so he flashed using odin.

There's a lot of problems when it comes to 5.1 and 6.0.1, and you are being worried about fonts?
Just root, it is 5 minute work and you can solve poor battery life, bloat and much more

Bro both roms are based on same tree and kernel so If you face something in aosgp x rom you will face the same in aicp .But I have to say one thing that camera quality is really degraded in custom roms .
Also I managed to get root ,just used hendibudi's twrp and phh superuser.zip even though my phone is still encrypted and f2fs file system.
follow this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWG94s16dVM
also you can try flashing su remove.

The only thing i would like a fix for on R remix rom is the slightly low in call volume which i believe is their in all lineage based roms i have tried a fix by editing one of the xml files in system but i lost all sound and had to reinstall a backup.

Ok I will tell you the exact time tomorrow from 0 to 100%
Camera quality is degraded so badly no sharpness in photos in even good lighting. Hope devs can do something about it.
I also don't like the high vibration in these custom roms.Can you tell me that is there any toggle in AOSGP-X rom to lower vibration intensity or in KA.Because in AICP there isn't.
Also does somebody know how to lower the vibration manually by editing any file or anything ?

Any Reason to NOT Upgrade to EMUI 5.0?

Just got my Honor 6x last week. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted the phone yet, and honestly, I'm not sure I'm going to bother doing so this time around. I also haven't installed the update to EMUI 5.0 yet. If in the future I do decide to unlock the bootloader, or root the phone, is there any reason I shouldn't install the EMUI 5.0 update now, or is it safe to do so?

It is absolutely safe and works fine unless there is any bug for your specific model.
There is neither one reason to remain on EMUI 4. Everything is better on Nougat, you'll see

They mistakenly uploaded an old Rom. So, they pulled it back.
Hope they will upload the correct ROM soon.

Yep! Same old, same old1 Unfortunately this kind of behavior is not uncommon for Xiaomi! Why they need this is beyond me! Let me just say that for such a big company this is disappointing and definitely not something what give us confidence to buy their phones and other products in the future. I mean, what's the point?! You buy something and then you hope that they give you fair amount of updates on regular base?! Just around corner but never there! C'mon Xiaomi!!!
