Why fix something if it isn't broken? If you are happy and all is working... don't touch!! That's my advice.

Thanks a lot for your answer!
That's perfect!
Have a nice day!

Sorry for merge another question. But maybe in recovery twrp I did not wiped the vendor? Right now I do not remember. I just want to understand why some guys' guide advice you to install vendor.
Sorry for the silly question!

Not recommended to not wipe it, but i think crdroid patched vendor partition (at least LineageOS do) when you flashed.. You'll see when you'll upgrade in terminal log, something like patching vendor partition.
But for more info go ask in crdroid thread.

There is too many way to flash custom recovery. For that you can use my signature (there is a link for CWM).
And if you need to know about custom recovery then read these Tutorial - 1, Tutorial - 2, Tutorial - 3 or use search option on XDA.
fine

Just flash the gapps via CWM (same as ROM flashing)
All instruction are available on that thread. If you have any question regarding CM11 on WFS then you need to read thoroughly that thread.

Mine was a clean stock 12.1 install first, then update applied from recovery to 13
Mine is working just fine, no problems to report at all..... hrmm so, I wonder what's different
http://s32.postimg.org/vz9j03dhx/Screenshot_20160429_190709.png
Me too that's exactly what I did load 12.1 by fastboot to ensure everything is overwritten
note super su stock dosn't work but the beta does
I'm I noob here and I don't understand what everybody's talking about here. From my understanding, a flashable COS13 zip is out in the open and works? How should I go about flashing it if I want to keep TWRP recovery? Do I have to do a clean install?

as far as I am aware there is NO COS 13 zip for the crackling, only this incremental update (ie an update from 12.1, so that needs to be installed as a base first and then the update flashed from recovery)
There is CM 13, both snapshots and nightlies that an be flashed from TWRP as ZIPs
TWRP an be flashed from fastboot whenever you like, so that shouldn't cause you any major concerns :good:

I have the stock rom already (COS 12.1), so does that mean I'm good if I flash it then?

Personally I would ensure I have backed up, but in theory ..Yes, though if it were me.. I would, backup, wipe, flash stock recovery, update
I am afraid I can't answer fully, as I always flash clean...soz

Ok. Well, if I backup beforehand then I should be fine if anything goes wrong. One last question though, do I need stock recovery in order to flash the zip?

That did not work TWRP says 4 errors occured while flashing process, but without deyails.
I downloaded twice, thought that a bad file might be the reason, but no.
In developers options the "root" options are extended though, but take no effect when root is activated. I installed SuperSu and tried to complete the .binary without success. I can't find my mistake ?

Can't help you there, I have never needed to use that root zip.
Why don't you just use Lineage 14.1? it has root built-in, just enable it in Dev Options.

It's my first flash on this device ... I wasn't sure if 14.1 is too heavy or too alpha for daily use.
Can you recommend it for daily use? thank you for your time!

Nice, I wait until you've posted it. I'm looking forward to flash your rom, I watched your work for a long time and you always did a great job and you seem to be one of the best devs for our device, I'm pretty sure it will fly like a bird with your rom ?

I beleieve noverity is (was) used for decrypted devices, I used it in the past, now not anymore, I think the newest twrps made it obsolete. As for the encrypted devices I really cannot say anything because mine is decrypted and is the only device I have flashed on. I don't know whether and how it works on ecrypted ones.
Any screenshots?

I don't know why the maintainers remove those parts from google's sources, maybe they intend to include them later. Anyway, yours is a good idea, I might give it a try adding them back.
You've made a right decision!
However, after installing gapps, I can't use FaceLock, which can be normally used in the previous version of the rom.

Latest LineageOS for Blackview BV5800 Pro (unofficial support)... help for noob

Hi there...
I am having a Blackview BV5800 Pro and i want to try make it faster and better... so a custom firmware will be better (because of no more supporting from the manufacter)... i think...
but before buying a new device - i want to try it...
So i ve check Treble (treble check and treble info) ... is supported...
having ARM 64, says only A is compatible... but need root...
1) already download: lineage-18.1-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avS.img from AndyYan sourceforge site hope that will work with my device...
2) next step before trying anything is to find right TWRP for my device... but where ? any help...
3) then i ll try to unlock my device bootloader... seems that this will work ? https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-mediatek-device/
So actually need the 2,3 steps... and then how i will install firmware already download (with sptool ?)... ?
The other steps...
Thanks in advance...
I doubt a gsi will be faster or better. Do a factory reset and disable all bloatware. You will be surprised, how fast your old phone can get.
...GSI... hmm...
where i can find a GSI firmware/ROM for my phone... ?
and the way (guide) to install it ...
Thanks in advance...

Sorry. Didn't read the whole thread. You started with a question about Andy yan IMG file. That is a gsi file. I recommended not to use it and stay on stock ROM instead. End of discussion where it started.
ok.. your opinion is respected
...but if i want to try it... is there any TWRP compatible with my model (question to everyone reading this thread)... that will work for me...
