Would like to use a clean version of Android instead of the EMUI version that is loaded on all their phones.
Seeing how these phones are identical, figured what would work for one would work with the other.
Thanks for giving me any insight.
Coming from the Galaxy Note 4 - hoping I'm not making a mistake with this phone that is enroute.

Nothing happening on this phone I guess.

Guess you haven't bothered looking at the ROMs and development section. While alot of ROMs are not what I would deem "daily material", their is working going on to get ROMs on this device.

Here is a list of supported custom ROMs on Mate SE, Choose the A only ROM.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
The whole custom ROM world has changed, Now you need to apply system.img instead of rom.zip using fastboot command.
I have the PHH-Treble installed on my Huawei Mate SE. here is the link.

In addition, I'd check out the Open Kirin site. I've read the Lineage version is outstanding and well tuned for the chip. They list the 7x as supported but I've read the Mate SE most certainly is also.

I've been running the OpenKirin Lineage v4 on my Mate SE as daily driver for over a week. It is outstanding. Not going back to emui.

Coincidentally, just booted that ROM (on my SE) today. It's very very good, noticed a few minor glitches to do with the camera and navigation (will let them know about em).
I'll admit though, emui8 is growing on me It's certainly better than 5.1 was. Love to see the roms becoming available though. No doubt when updates stop (or before), they will be critical to have.

I don't mind emui except that the power-saver regularly kills tasker, ad-blocking vpns, etc. I've tried everything to exempt them from power saving but no go. The battery life is outstanding though (I usually only lose 15% after a full day's usage), so for average users it's a bonus.

Hey thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have not installed a custom ROM in a long time.

Any chance you'd elaborate on the issues you've come across? I'm thinking about loading it up but don't want to lose functionality

Nothing terribly serious. I didn't use it for long, but the camera option for selfie shutter 'palm to camera' didn't work. Also the recently taken shots didn't show in the bottom gallery (I read this is fixed now). And the navigation arrows at the bottom seemed to not be persistent somehow (after a reboot this was okay).
It's easy to go back to stock, except if you haven't backed everything up, have to reconfigure, add / subtract apps etc.
I'd suggest searching for the openKirin website, they seem to be doing the most development. Also follow their directions, they worked for me and pretty easy.
Hi
How does one flash the "Openkirin_los_beta4" Iso to the Mate SE (BND-L34)? TWRP?? Fastboot??? what are the exact steps to not render it a paper weight again lol; Do you need Magisk-v16.0 to root it as well?

No, you don't need a custom bootloader.
You only need unlocked bootloader and unlocked frp.
TWRP is not supported on OpenKirin ROMs (especially on 7x twrp won't work).
You just need to flash the .img file through bootloader and then reboot to recovery and do a factory data reset.
Can anyone give me some advice: I have the Mate SE, currently on EMUI 8.0.0.332 (security update available but not installed), with TWRP and Magisk. I would love to install a custom ROM, but the OpenKirin site says TWRP isn't supported. Can I still install one of those builds and just expect no support if something goes wrong, or should I find some way to return to full stock before flashing? And if I need stock recovery, where can I find a download for it? I haven't had any luck on searching here yet.

Pretty much any GSI works so long as you have updated to EMUI 8 sometime in the past.
The Moto z play had plenty of developers dedicated to it but this has practically nothing. Is there a reason for that or did no developers buy this phone?

They're out there, google 'nash' roms and you should be able to find them. Some don't get posted here per XDA's request, the developer's, and/or both? Not sure what which is the case, but they're out there. I think they might be gearing more for treble and pie which isn't official on either side for us at the moment. With an official pie update in the future I'm sure some are hoping that'll fix some annoyances that have not been completely ironed out on the stock and custom side.

Official LineageOS is treble enabled. Flash it, let it boot once, wipe data and flash the GSI of your choice.

Hey
I was just wondering why there is not that many custom roms.
I come from a pocoophone and there was nearly daily new roms .
- not a lot of devs have this device
- people that do have this device don't have resources to build
- check telegram, there are roms, just ask around

I don't know any specific, but I see them all the time. You can try joining 7/T series discussion group and ask what ROM people are using, and ask in kernel chats (that is specific to oneplus devices of course)

No hype, no sales, no development.
I bet OnePlus 6/6T is having more ROMs
Kind of wondered the same thing, also coming from a pocophone. I had planned to go custom, but now question if it is even worth it as there seems to be little support. I haven't run non-aosp on a phone in forever.
---------- Post added at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------
Also curious how you find these groups - only thing I know when it comes to telegram is clicking on a link to a chat.
Found a group, but of course no links to the chinese twrp. Only links I have found are on weibo and just end up looping around
Other people will disagree but having no working twrp is a big factor. Let's see what happens when OnePlus release there android 11 mash up maybe we will have twrp working and more interest ?

This TWRP works fine for flashing and decrypting on custom ROMs. So it's not that.
And Android 11 will not magically fix everything, if anything, it'll break things like encryption even more.
TWRP is has lots of progress as of late, fastbootd tools has been implemented, dynamic partitions are better handled. Only significant thing left would be ADB sideload.

The decryption is broken because of OnePlus poor implemention of keymaster. Android 11 is once again changing keymaster which will break decryption even on devices that can successfully decrypt on Android 10. This means it will take time for TWRP to properly support decryption on Android 11.
When that happens, decryption might work for 7T/Pro because now OnePlus has to reimplement the new keymaster,. hopefully right this time.
As for flashing ROMs, just use adb push on your PC and push it to /cache or /mnt, then you can flash easily.

Everything has been built and shared over the last year. Name a rom. It's been built already. If you want more android R roms, just wait they're coming. But... Twrp works fine. Even on oos. Use LR Team Twrp (aka chinese twrp) it works perfectly. Flash away or what knot, I have never heard anything about a broken keymaster. that's the first I heard of that one. Flash whatever, build whatever, enjoy phone fun.

It absolutely does decrypt on oos. One must do a full format in twrp first. Then it works perfectly, every feature, 100%. Yes, I did du for 7t in December last year, or January.

Funny I have had no problems for 10 months, on oos or custom.
Ever since I got this device, I have been wondering why there's hardly any mention of /e/ (i.e., epsilon) being officially supported?
Yep, I know the designation is somewhat awkward but this is a full A10 Lineage based ROM supporting microG, ready to be downloaded and installed.
Info about Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 / 8T - ginkgo
/e/OS is an open-source mobile operating system paired with carefully selected applications. They form a privacy-enabled internal system for your smartphone. And it’s not just claims: open-source means auditable privacy.

i remember testing 2 builds (maybe unofficial)
it's designed for the people who have limited knowledge and just want a "privacy rom" ready to go
it is good. and that's it
but not enough for me since i do a LOT of customisation
and have enough knowledge to duplicate the same environment in RRos ...

Thanks for that. Must admit i looked last year and don't remember seeing the note 8 added otherwise I may have looked at using it.
Unfortunately just using any custom rom does not seem to stop Xiaomi data leakage plus they seem to have more issues then some other custom roms.

I wish I could believe that. From what I have read, and it seems logical, if the custom ROM is built on certain manufacturers firmware then that firmware may be leaking data.
I would be very happy to have that proven incorrect but have read numerous posts in the past on the AFWall+ thread with people complaining specifically about Xiaomi.

I know what the MUIPRO team has on our TWRP device + firmware, but for now their site is moving ((
Nice to see that they finally created a forum for the 12X! Overall I hope that TWRP and Custom Roms will come to the 12X sooner or later, I thinks it's still a new device (and not on the cheap side), so eventually developers will get their hands on it.
Chinese developers have made TWRP for 12x,But it is encrypted and needs special tools to flash.
