Need recommendation for ROM with ongoing support and everything working

Need recommendation for ROM with ongoing support and everything working - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

The x829 which I ordered from TomTop is on its way... and I've only just read about the woes of LeEco in US and IN, where it seems to be a matter of time before both regional ventures go broke. So while I previously thought I'd stick with the phone's stock rom and OTAs, I'm now faced with a foreseeable future with no LeEco official updates. In that case, I figure I might as well start using an alternative rom right off the bat.
So, I need a recommendation for a ROM that hopefully can meet the following criteria:
1. ongoing support with OTA patches and updates from a stable group / recognised devt team
2. all functionality on the x829 should work: fingerprint, VoLTE, 4k video, OIS, EIS, audio, ... and are there any others that may not work in different roms?
3. I'm not so concerned about marshmallow vs nougat. Nougat would be good, but life goes on as long as I get updates on marshmallow.
Based on criteria 1, I suppose that my choices are limited to the following.
a. LineageOS 13.0 - is all functionality working?
b. Resurrection Remix - M - at least VoLTE not working. any others?
Do I have any other options?
c. LineageOS 13.0 by andr68us - only supported by andr68us, would not get ongoing patches right? and if this has extra stuff compared to official lineageOS, does the official fully support the camera, IR remote, etc?
d. LineageOS 14.1 - only supported by cr3pt, would not get ongoing patches right?
d. MIUI??
f. mokkee?
g. stick with stock china rom or india rom?
h. Small EUI by aurel - No ongoing patches right?
Would appreciate your corrections and thoughts.

Custom ROM and OTA is a contradiction for most Custom ROMs

Use the latest official Indian ROM.
Currently all custom ROMs for Max2 are buggy or incomplete in one way or another.

True, but being able to get ongoing patches is a pretty big plug for me. That's why I seem to only really have LineageOS 13.0 official and Resurrection Remix-M official choices meeting this criteria right? Actually, I've never used either. Is the update mechanism OTA, or manual download-and-patch?
I guess I should add that OTA is nice but not strictly necessary as long as the necessary patches are consistently applied, and builds are being made. I can download and apply the patches manually (but OTA would be nice).

Thanks. Maybe that's what I'll do after all.
on the other hand... which is the least buggy custom rom? If the bugs are something I can live with, and it gives me an easier future migration path (or removes the need to migrate firmware altogether) I might take it.
Actually, all of this was on the premise that LeEco US & IN would go bust and no further pacthes will be available. Does this assumption look correct, or maybe I don't need to worry about this?

LeEco is pretty popular in India. I guess its their most valuable territory at the moment, because their attempt to infiltrate the US market has clearly failed and in China they barely make the list of top ten Android vendors.
You shouldn't have bought this phone in the first place if you expected any decent support for it. Too bad, I made the same mistake.

I'm on mokee, with the Chinese 23s modem and gapps flashed on top of it. Everything works, it has OTA.

[ROM][CM14.1][UNOFFICIAL] Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE SM-T285

*** This project is now abandoned in favor of the LineageOS variant ***
This is a port of Cyanogenmod 14.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. Cyanogenmod needs no introduction, it is one of the most popular aftermarket ROM distributions around.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
As this is the first CM-14.1 release, I don't recommend you use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough for some. Make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom. This rom probably won't get much use out of some people until bluetooth is fixed.
Based off on Cyanogenmod 14.1 sources which is based on Nougat 7.1.
Device Tree:
=========
https://github.com/jedld/device_samsung_gtexslte.git
https://github.com/jedld/vendor_samsung_gtexslte.git
https://github.com/jedld/kernel_samsung_gtexslte.git
Update Dec 3, 2016
===============
Fixed GPS, Wifi Hotspot, Graphics issues, Calls, Camera,sdcard is now marked as adoptable.
Works:
- Wifi/SMS
- Audio
- Graphics with glitches (minor screen tearing, blank screen showing up on overlays)
- GPS
- Wifi Hotspot
- Incoming/Outgoing Calls
- MTP
Does not work:
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- LTE (Due to APN issues)
- Battery Meter not updating
Bugs/Known Issues
* Problems recording video
Other Notes:
- selinux permissive
Most of the issues are fixable, I just need more time and encouragement
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty, Samsung representatives will probably not be able to help you as they are still stuck at 5.1.1 land as of now and have no idea how to handle a SM-T285 that is running 7.1.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section.
BUILD12032016
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock oranother rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. Coming from a previous version of OMNIRom for SM-T285 may not require a wipe, however please perform a wipe if you encounter problems.
Root and customization
===================
This ROM is a purely based on source and is not rooted out of the box. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

Nice job!!!

Great job! The ROM is impressively fluid, and I particularly love the way it renders fine text, which I appreciate because I prefer DPIs of 140 to 160. Unfortunately, just like in the early iterations of OmniROM 6.0, the tablet will not connect to the internet over cellular networks no matter how much I tinker with APNs. It's a great build, nevertheless, and I look forward to future releases.

Thank you !! Will give it a try.

posting here too (as did on omni - realized this is the cm 14.1 board)...
"briefly tried the cm14.1....much better very fast response-on the omni the pull down was an issue (would also ask me to format the sd card)
noticed here too the signal tends to drop in and out (wonder if it is some power saving going on-it goes to full strength during a call)...speakerphone also does not work here but must say this is better than the omni even though data does not work"
keyboard much better here too
on both cm14.1 and the omni, the dialer tends to be have some lag when pressing the numbers (do it too fast and can get many errors)-minor thing understand this is an alpha and the omni is a beta
thanks

I can't get Soft Keys to work, worked fine on the Omni ROM, only problem I have come across so far.

needs some xml changes that needs to be compiled into the framework for that I believe. Though there are more critical bugs I need to fix with this 7.1 rom.

I wish I could help in some way, appreciate your work.

thank for your awesome work, but i cant download any app from Playstore, it's downloading for a long time, i tried many way to force it works but nothing change. Have any one meet this trouble?

Thank Jedld, i has tried 27th,october version and it WORKS, thank.

I used the version as recommended in the Omni ROM, which was from the 9th of November, no problems with the app store or downloading apps either.

Any closer to another release ?

Those patches didn't help unfortunately Though I've fixed network type selection in CM-14.1 already, unfortunately data connection still won't come online due to errors related to APNs. Seeing as this was working perfectly in CM-13 this could be a CM-14 or Nougat related change, it will take a while to figure out what that is. As for bluetooth I was able to get it to turn on, however it is still unable to detect/pair to any device, this is also something that was working in CM-13.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 for the Verizon LG G3 (vs985)

I'm not sure what the holdup is on the
Official Lineage Verizon builds for the G3,
(as of this writing that directory is still empty), but I just switched over to Verizon with their new Unlimited data plan and I decided to build my own this morning. I saw that a few people had been wanting this, so I figured I'd put it up here.
** Note that I compiled this with 'export WITH_SU=true' so there is no need to use the 'addonsu-arm-signed.zip' (root addon) that they provide, as it's built into this rom already.

Lineage-14.1-Verizon-vs985

sure, it has plenty of bugs, but no more than any other current lineage 14.1 build (I've tested lineage on a samsung galaxy s5, htc one m8, lg g3 (ls990), lg g3 (d851), and an lg g3 (d855)... this build works virtually identical to those.
cm13 is still the best way to go for now if you need stability, i just wish miracast worked better... lineage 14.1 did improve miracast quite a bit, but theres other problems... like conflicts with certain apps (like power toggles, the hotspot won't function properly, you have to enable that via lineage menus, might be an issue with their new su/root implementation) stuff like that.
but... it runs just as well as any of the 'official' builds if that helps answer your question

good work thank you

Upload
Thank you for this, been waiting.
Uploaded with Banks Dynamic Mini Gapps and 35B modem. Everything is clean and seems to be working great. Will you continue to keep it updated with the latest from lineage as they continue to update the rom.

Great rom, but when I enable encryption and reboot the phone hangs on the LG logo and bootloops.
Edit: Encryption is broken in Lineage 14.1 currently

the bot builds on fridays

Been using 307 Rom for two days and am impressed. Great battery life, smooth, and good calling on 35b.
Thanks for your work.

looks like it's finally been added to the official builds,
i'll continue to do builds of lineage 13.0 for this phone, as thats what i'm using,
but no sense in continuing this thread....
here's the first official build:

Has anyone used the official build for the G3?
My fiance has one, and I may steal her phone and flash it. Battery life would be nice, as well as getting rid of the VZ bloat. Any bugs? App compatibility? Thanks!

yes im using nice rom

I have used Bailx 304 and 307 roms, and loaded the official Lineage 310 rom today. Lineage had done a great job with 14.1 with excellent battery life, smoothness, and speed. I have tried all the 7.1 roms for the G-3, and all are exceptional in how far they have come with reliability. I basically use my phone for that purpose, a few texts, and a few photos, so I'm not much into a lot of mods. The only one I really use is Nova Launcher to set up the way I like. The Gapps I used were the Banks Dynamic Mini and by the time I had finished setting my phone up I had used 5.9 gig of 32.

any chance these builds can have volte on vs985? Is that feasible at all? Please let me know.

and how is the camera quality of this rom as compared to stock and other aosp/cm based rom?

Here's a link to resurrection remix. It's pretty good. https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/x82x-resurrectionremix-m-v5-7-4-t3542355. Most N roms are stable. You have instructions how to install the rom and what gapps to use in the first post on the rom thread. It's also pre rooted.
For the future, when you want to install root just flash this: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk

Heyyo, for the most stable Nougat ROM? I'd recommend OmniROM. It's not as bleeding edge in changes such as BlackX or Resurrection Remix but it is built for stability upon OmniROM and Darkobas kernel. Depending as well on the build of Resurrection Remix it could have battery drain issues as you'll see on and off in the thread.
OmniROM also has the advantage of signed builds by Google so they come with official SafetyNet Certification. No need of Magisk and Magisk module workarounds so things like fingerprint unlock with your banking app should work without issue unlike any other ROM I've tried with RBC app... That also means if the Le Max 2 had built in NFC that android pay would have worked without a hitch...
I believe the only other custom ROM with signed builds by Google for official SafetyNet Certification is Paranoid Android but sadly there isn't official builds for the Le Max 2 (yet). Maybe once GalacticSryder receives his Le Max 2 we will see that and built upon is custom kernel as well!
I tried porting it but I suck at it and failed haha oh well at least it turns out I'm good at vehicle repairs
If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend. Good device tree and vendor stacks and built with Blackscreen kernel for a good balance between performance and battery life.
Also, Resurrection Remix for Nougat has reached final versions so it won't be receiving updates. As far as I know for Nougat ROMs I think Slimroms and BlackX are the only ones receiving updates still as andr68rus and I believe the same with Shivatejapeddi have both changed focus to Oreo.

whoa, thanks alot for the detailed explanation.....
you really spoke highly of OmniROM (which i like) and you also said this: If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend
so which will you advise me to go for out of the three? plus which is pre-rooted or can be easily rooted?
i want to have a feel of a rooted device and see how it goes
would like to go for OmniROM (plus pls help me with links on how to get it) but let me have you final conclusion.
thanks alot for the helpful replies.

You're welcome
It's up to you which path you wish to go. As mentioned OmniROM is definitely the most stable ROM as it tends to not receive major changes as quickly as other ROMs.
The official signed builds are found here:
http://dl.omnirom.org/x2/
Any ROM is super easy to root. Only requires flashing Magisk via TWRP. I'd easily recommend it over any other form of root since it's fully open source software (FOSS) and the modules capabilities is amazing with stuff like Universal SafetyNet fix or other mods like enabling 60fps recording on the Google Camera Mod. I also really enjoy the ART Optimization mod for a little extra performance.
Magisk is found here on XDA and I'd recommend v14.3 right now because v14.0 stable has actually given me more grief heh
You can download and read up on Magisk right here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74158225&postcount=31
BlackX ROM is actually maintained by that other dude who posted here, KuranKaname and definitely has the most optimizations of the buch that I recommended. His builds are based on LineageOS with Blackscreen 3.6 kernel which is really nice. His ROM does require special Gapps which can be found in his thread with the ROM downloads as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-blackx-unofficial-optimized-t3668458
Slimroms was the third I mentioned which is kind of is a balance between the stability of OmniROM but some of the optimization of BlackX.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-blackx-unofficial-optimized-t3668458
Since there isn't any limit on ROMs to flash you can always try out a ROM for a few days and if it doesn't quite suit your needs you can try swapping to a different ROM to see how it feels. In the end only you will know which of the three I mentioned is to your liking the most.

Since there isn't any limit on ROMs to flash you can always try out a ROM for a few days and if it doesn't quite suit your needs you can try swapping to a different ROM to see how it feels. In the end only you will know which of the three I mentioned is to your liking the most.

VoLTE in Lineage OS ?

Hello everyone,
I've been using Yunique for almost 2 years now and very satisfied with the development got going for it.
Lineage OS is one of the best customs out there. But the official builds never support VoLTE out of the box. Can anyone tell me why they don't include that piece of software?? Most custom roms have VoLTE integration and also in Unofficial builds of LOS. Not that I'm complaining but I'm curious to know why.:silly:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ro...-14.1-20180425-UNOFFICIAL-jalebi.zip/download
Lineage (volte) latest use it with casium 1.7

I too have a same problem. I tend to write a feedback to lineage os team even nothing works.
Is there any alternate way to get volte fix on official lineage os builds?

let me guess
official lineage-os support the old non-volte stock rom. yu sent the volte upgrade later by ota updates, I think volte in roms need these implantation in stock rom, this can be the reason, post reply if someone has more info

[ROM/Kernel] LineageOS "Pro" 15.1 for the LeEco Le Max2 [05/05]

This thread may be under construction, watch out!
An introduction to my new Oreo sauce...
This is a modified LineageOS 15.1 ROM meant to fill my personal needs, including my minimalistic Lambda Kernel out-of-the-box and a few customizations to provide a different, privacy-focused, Android experience, just for you.
What are the very best features included?
~> Always latest vanilla LineageOS 15.1 codebase;
~> Root virginity preserved, unrooted;
~> SafetyNet bypass out-of-the-box;
~> Google PlayStore device certification;
~> Privacy oriented Bromite web browser;
~> Compiled with SDClang LLVM 4.0 toolchain;
~> Dex-preoptimization of boot image and system server;
~> Minimalistic Lambda Kernel, more information right down below.
What does this magical Kernel support?
~> Cleanly built on top of the latest QCOM reference Kernel for MSM8996;
~> Up-to-date camera_v2 driver stack according to Nougat (LA.UM.5.5) code base;
~> Proper OEM Kernel code adjusted per target (ZL1/X2) and adapted to the new base;
~> Adjusted headset detection framework to account for Type-C adapter;
~> Optimized and adjusted for the -O2 GCC compilation flag;
~> Minimal configuration with the bare minimum drivers needed;
~> Safe fast charging input, regulated per stock Kernel definitions;
~> A little bit faster panel wake up and touchscreen initialization;
~> Unlocked bootloader state bypass, reports green.
What are the known issues so far?
?> Ambient display feature makes the panel wake up a bit funky, you'll see it when compared to the disabled state, which doesn't have that funkiness.
?> Time registering is broken, the daemon doesn't write properly to the Kernel for some reason and ends up not having the correct time after a reboot with the internet turned off.
?> CDLA sometimes has some pops in the background when not listening to anything, pretty minor though.
Nice, where are the downloads?
The downloads are available in the dev release tag in my Github's lineage_releases repository, there you'll find the zip file for installation and the md5sum for checking the file's integrity.

Did anyone mention FAQ?
A series of questions, answers, and wonders about all the things she I said in case you didn't get it already.
&> Q. Why isn't this a new project instead of just a simple variant of LineageOS? There are already a ton of them...
&> A. I think there's already a ton of Android "projects" and I don't feel like nor have time to create yet another one that I probably wouldn't be able to maintain for long.
&> Q. How much time will this "variant" be supported?
&> A. Only future wilt tell us but most likely our brave "variant" will resist at least one Android cycle starting from now, all the way through P, even after LineageOS officially drops it we can still have some OEL support if other developers keep the game going.
&> Q. How does it diverge from official LineageOS builds?
&> A. This one aims at providing a snapshot-like experience - if you remember CyanogenMod gold era - which uses the non-debugging user flavor instead of userdebug as Google keeps pushing their draconian restrictions to have access to their apps and services, we need to fake it to avoid forfeiting.
&> Q. My device is "certified" on Google PlayStore, how?
&> A. The bootloader green check in Kernel and user flavor made it possible. I'm not sure how much longer will it take to Google before they go with something deeper to restrict the access of their services by custom ROMs unconditionally. This is a trick though, your device will never be certified with an unlocked bootloader and non-OEM ROM.
&> Q. Will you ever include root support out-of-the-box?
&> A. No, never. You can flash Magisk if you want it, the latest the better in this case. Not sure about the addonsu from LineageOS itself as I never used it.
&> Q. Will you include Dolby Atmos, ViperFX, $(insert_nice_name_here) out-of-the-box?
&> A. No, not at all.

Heeyo! Are you using official LineageOS trees for building your variant?

Synced today, no fools included

Well cause i liked your kernel i will try out this rom also!
Nice timing tbh. Just bricked my current rom rn.

True. I've been using his kernel since 24 hours and damn it is the best kernel for x2. My phone's battery temperature doesn't cross 42°C even though my country's normal temperature outdoors is around 38-40°C these days. I get around 20%/hour drain on medium usage which is awesome for my 15 month old battery. Will definitely flash your rom and give feedback.

Hey. Congratz for your work. Can you give more detail about this please: "Safe fast charging input, regulated per stock Kernel definitions;" So we still would able to charge fastly as up to 4000 mH? The quick charge on/off option is available for your kernel? That feature doesn't work properly on the Oreo ROMs..

This is Awesome! The legend is back!
I am so pumped right now! :d:d

@GalaticStryder
Hello, gapps are included inside the rom?
Works everything?
Thanks in advance

First: Big THX @GalaticStryder for this awesome build.
Tested it for an hour now and everything seems perfect. Sound quality is excellent (through Headphones). Rom itself very smooth.
Will report battery Backup later.
Gapps are NOT included, Root is NOT included.

Heyyo, congrats on the release GalaticStryder! She sounds super promising!

A request
I am going to make a very dumb request, can you create an overclocked kernel for this build? Would it be possible?
Thanks so much

Has same bugs as official (eg slow motion video recording not working)?

Thank you for your work dude. I'm wondering if you would make a kernel with focus fix.

He would end up better adding leeco prefs in settings with quick charge switch, maybe akt and focus switch.
Rom works really well. I didnt saw any bugs in it rn.

Tell me, how about Vulcan drivers? Are they present in yours build? If not, do you plan add them?
Thx 4 ur work

why the **** you go on ranting on every roms about this, already GalaticStryder has explained u regarding this in his lambda kernel

I've been trying since last night, unfortunately I noticed freez and random reboots.
Fp is very very slowly.

Yes, that would be the best choice for everyone.
