Develop Bugs

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,

MIUI 9 Beta testers recruitment

I just randomly opened the en.miui.com and I saw that our Armani is also eligible for the MIUI 9 update. Guys, take a look and apply maybe?
Deadline for application time is 1st, August 2017 (Beijing Standard Time)
MIUI 5, MIUI 6, MIUI 7, MIUI 8 and now MIUI 9. It has been a long journey. Really excited!! Looking forward for it.

I was so pumped when I read it. I can't believe Xiaomi will indeed update their old devices. My hopes are high for them. But I doubt it might take a long, but that's fine. ?
Do I need to be good at debugging to be able to have a sense in using beta?
Also, does that mean that the camera blobs for our device will be updated to fit Nougat? And does that mean a better camera experience on other Nougat ROMs?
OR will it be another new UI with outdated system?

I still doubt that Xiaomi will be updating the android version too. Still hoping for the best.
Good at debugging? I don't think that is compulsory but surely it'll help the developers if you are.

I just hope that the Android version would be updated too. But as far as I can see, it wouldn't be. Just like the release of MIUI 8. It was based on Marshmallow for new devices but the older ones were stuck. Nougat runs fine even though with a hiccup, but hey at least we know it's working and it's possible to have one MIUI ROM based on Nougat.

Yeah! let's hope for the best. I won't think it'd take that much time. Armani recieved MIUI8 update earlier than Redmi 2.

It'll will be on android kitkat only for redmi 1s, just updated ui and fancy stuff. So just don't hope that it'll come with MM for redmi 1s. :laugh:

Yeah. After a few days, my hype disappeared. Somewhat disappointed on what will happen. I don't care about fancy UI and colorful stuff. I want a bit of nudge on the Android version. I'll be fine if they notch it up to 5.1.1 or 6.0.1. Thanks to the devs here in XDA, I got a taste on Nougat even though the phone tries hard to catch up.

If there is no xda, our device Armani would have never get past android version 4.4. (Well most of the devices)
im sure that in miui 9 also the android version will stay at 4.4.

One year ago I have dumped my redmi 1s and shifted to RN3 ,but happy to seee miui 9 for our little Beast...
Miss this forum and device. But I keep checking a month how development is gng on...

Its a wasted effort, the company has even dropped MIUI 8 support for Redmi 1S. The only version available seems to be MIUI 8.2.1.0 while a lot of devices got 8.5.xx. Redmi 1S has reached EOL.

You're right. I can't see any info about MIUI 9 update for Redmi 1S even though they promised to do so.
RIP

MiUi9 stable version is now available for China ROM and it gets regular updates
System is still KK 4.4 but the MiUi version is quite fresh and fluid
Thnx

Yes it will be real soon... developers are working on it... Be patient .. the more it takes the time ... the more it will be stable and smooth
The devices which have received it early are experiencing FC's, errors.. and different bugs

Not too soon

[Question] Stable Oreo Rom for Moto Z Play

Hello Guys.
I know there are a few Oreo based ROMs out there for our device MOTO Z PLAY.
I cannot install all these due to time and data usage restrictions.
If anyone could tell me what could be best option in terms of stability and camera performance, that would be highly appreciated!

Wait for stable Oreo stock. Patience is a virtue.

Oreo official should be coming very soon. I can say i have tried every single oreo custom rom on my phone and eventually i went back to stock N because there was one thing or another which wasnt quite right. E.g with xperience 12 the rom works very well but i could not save photos to sd card and i really need to do this so i had to go back.

I think this is good.
Hello anilkumar121989, I am testing the cosmic addison so far 3 days of testing and an update does not hear bugs, and I am really enjoying the ROM design and in that little time of use it has remained stable.

Device: Motorola Moto Z Play [XT1635-02] w/ unlocked BL
ROM: cosmic os (8.1.0) w/ Magisk
Recovery: unofficial TWRP 3.2.1-0

Just wait for official

All Oreo ROM are still in beta and release candidate state so bugs are to be found here and there. Most have camera saturation bug, unable to save photo to sdcard, and lower volume speaker but if you can live with that I've found that AOSP, Cosmic, and Xperience to be stable enough for daily use.
Also, there are no black theme, night mode, RAW capture, and Camera2API in official Oreo so I much prefer custom ROM plus our Devs are awesome like Alberto and TeamMex to mention a few, you shouldn't worry too much about bugs.

Thanks for the effort, but it is better to wait for the official update.

If you are too eager to get Oreo now... Try the official Oreo soak test... Just amazing... No bug at all... Superb audio and finally I can call using volte on second sim

Camera does not work

Whenever I install a 8.0 or .8.1 ROM, with x64 or x86 gaps. The camera does not work. some things work for third-party camera apps. :crying:

My Moto Z Play reteu is on stock Android 7.0. It has unlocked bootloader and it's rooted.
Let's say Oreo is released. For obvious reasons I can't install any OTA updates. So, will there be a way to install Oreo via bootloader (fastboot)? Even if it's rooted? I'm really noob to this. Thanks in advance.

MIU12 for Capricorn (Mi5S)

Hello to everyone,
Maybe too soon to discuss this but, there may be some kind of port from miui12 to mi5 / mi5s in near future? Anyone know anything about it?
I think this hardware can support easier, it remains to know if whether at the SW level it is possible or not!?
Many thanks.

Mi5 will get unofficial Miui12 rom from a small group of devs this week. Once they had rom for mi5s as well but they dropped support a while ago. Rom thread here is closed because they didn't mention kernel source as I saw when I checked last time but it's not the reason for dropping support. Rom name is miuitr, they have a website now just Google it but no capricorn support as I mentioned, only gemini. This phone has so much potential with the hardware but unfortunately there are no devs supporting it, at least I wish there would be an updated gsi mod so we could get miui12 though gsi but gsi mod also not getting any update for 2 years. It's time for upgrade like they want(force) us to.

eny update?
