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,

Hello my friend, I am part of a group of users of Lenovo phab 2 plus, I am currently working with some developers who are using rom miui9 and LOS 14.1 for our device, if you are interested in participating in the development or being a tester, access this tutorial, and click on the group link for more information.

ROMs + Recovery + Root

Is the A3, A5, A7 series bad for dev of ROMs and new mods on sites like this? I saw someone that wrote something about that. They mentioned it was due to the Exynos chipsets. Could have been the 2015 or 2016-series also.

No, it is misunderstanding in the early days it was like that but times changes.
Look at the s7 exynos full of dev support.
It is a new phone, give it time.
It is always like that.
Samsung release even the open source files maby it is not complete but u could port cm 13 or lineage os by yourself to the device and get things working.
Or build a kernel etc.
Twrp same it can get official but we get someone who is mainly focus on dev twrp for our devices.
I dont have much time and i will focus mainly on the stock os.

Total Noob Question

I looked at all of the forum posts and don't see anything specific to this...
My teenage son wants to get the Note 5 Pro through the Xaomi Aliexpress store. It would be used in the US on AT&T. Ali's buyer notes states things like "China ROM doesn't come with Google Play Store" and "Box will be opened and ROM will be installed that won't support OTA updates". Is owning this phone going to be more manual patching and maintenance than it's worth? He's a smart kid and loves messing around to get things to work, but I want a phone to just work for him and no risk of having a brick.
Just looking for what it will take to have a stable phone that he will enjoy if he has me order it for him.
Thanks!

There are 2 variants one is Indian variant rn5pro and another rn5 China with minor difference.
The chances of bricking is super low. Below 1%
Just install gapps or flash EU rom from Xiaomi.eu when it releases. Its super easy to update/flash diff ROM.

Do those ROMs support automatic updates, or will he have to manually apply a new ROM for updates?
Thanks!

Is roms are same for china varient and indian varient?Codename is same or different ?

the soc snapdragon 636 can have the feature of 1080p recording at a frame rate of 120fps, so can we able to record this on redmi note 5 pro using any third party app by rooting?

Some roms support ota and some don't. Also devs recommend clean flash for updating. But the thing is that should change with Android 8+ since treble is here which allows for better OTA updates without firmware dependencies being altered. The RN5P (Indian variant) most probably supports treble and thus the devs will be more than happy to incorporate it for more stable and easy updates, specially through OTA. Hope this helps.

new user of mi mix 2

Hi all! As I mention it, I just bought this cellphone completely new (it is the one that best suited my budget in my country) I had a Lenovo a6020 so I'm not so lost in the custom roms and modifications. How I said the is new so it has android 7, I already unlocked the boot and I have twrp in the latest version but I don't know if from android 7 (miui) I can jump directly to PE + 10. I have read but can't find if you need a previous version. Taking advantage of the theme and I hope it does not break the rules I will like to know if this rom (pixel expierence) incorporates a version of gcam, If not, which version do you recommend, or is the official camera better? Thank you all! Excuse my lousy English, I'm still learning

@c510k
See firmware xda thread from link below to update to latest firmware and flash firmware when you flash your rom in custom recovery.

Question S21 FE 5G Custom Rom

Hi guys!
I bought a S21 FE 5G and noticed that it seems to let you unlock the bootloader, apparently unlike other Samsung phones? However I have not found a single tutorial on how to install a custom rom on the phone. From what I read there is a TWRP for the phone so I would guess that it should at least be possible to flash some GSI images. Is this correct or is there some reason why there are no GSI instructions for the phone even a year after the phone launched? Maybe some Samsung specific issues?
Any insights are appreciated.

Did you read my post? I was asking why there is no instruction on how to install custom roms, not where I can find GSI roms. Treble check tells me that S21 FE 5G does not support project treble. Can I still use GSIs?
Edit: Did not see your post, I was looking in S21 FE --> development

The Treble Check App I used tells me that my Device isnt Supported, but another says that it is.
I used some GSIs on my Device (PE+ and Evolution X) so it is possible.
