Hi,
Is it worth it, or it's just for the bloatware and something like that? And the indian Rom is encrypted? What that really means in practical terms?
Thank you.

Thanks. Performance is the same so?
All official Max2 ROMs are terribly outdated and contain tons of security vulnerabilities.
This phablet is anandonware in regards to official support. If you want to be on a safe side you must use LineageOS or ResurrectionRemix. However both contain serious bugs and certain features from the official ROMs are missing. RR is much better though. LOS is laggy and buggy as hell.
Exchanged me le max 2 for one plus 2..
Till now.. All i miss is the fast charging
Great new Official Build for Le Max 2
Hey everyone,
I read the questions regarding Indian and Chinese Builds, I bought the x829 version to find out it was never officially released by LeEco in the US so... next topic flashing ROMs...
I got the phone with "International Version" x.16 and found also that chinese version was almost in version 21 and indian in 19.
Because of some/many comments in chinese build with messages and other stuff in chinese I though on installing the indian rom.
Before that I tryed the ROM that came with the phone and it wasn't bad but made the phone a bit slow...
After installing the indian ROM found out that it had encrypted several mount points in the phone, tryed restoring it with no encryption but failed. The good thing, odd also, is that after some retries in TWRP to enter recovery, after some reboots, it goes right in the menu like if no encryption was detected.
Liked some features in the indian rom, one of the things was the unlocking of the phone, if you swipe from the right then the numbers would be closer to the side, center and left behavior the same.
One other thing that I miss and keep looking for a possibility is the disabling of the home and front buttons, in the Official LeEco Builds this is a possibility by pressing one volume and power button if I'm not mistaken, but in game this makes a huge difference, sorry everyone I use this phone for gaming it is massive! I keep pressing by mistake the buttons and exiting the games, would love to see this feature in the new XDA Build for X2 (Le Max 2)
Original build had an Antutu of 120k, but didnt feel like it. Indian ROM had only 80k... now I see Chinese version in x.23 don't know how it is but was curious.
What do I have on my Le Max 2? the new Official XDA 7.1.2 build. Much better than the last marshmallow version probably because of the Nougat Android but although both had an Antutu between 150-155k this newer version is indeed faster in games and apps, no hanging of any kind. Probably needs some tuning but as for now it has been GREAT! Tnx for that!
If you want a build that probably gives more sense to the phone itself, try the Chinese ROM, if you want something lighter and more functional, try this new Nougat XDA Build
Ohhh fingerprint sensor stopped working after first installation who cares...??!!
Regards,
Pedro.

The Oneplus 2 has been available for reservation on jd.com, a site similar to Amazon, in China for the past week. Over 400,000 people reserved the phone. A reservation allowed the purchase of the phone starting 9:30am this morning. I managed to snag one and should take delivery of it later this afternoon. I was a bit disappointed to find out that it comes with HydrogenOS instead of OxygenOS. However, I'm sure that can be rectified in the near future. I purchased the 64GB model for 2399RMB, about $385USD.
Anyone else living in or ordering from China managed to get their hands on one?
EDIT: It just arrived. The build quality is impressive, especially coming from an LG G3. The accuracy of the fingerprint sensor in my brief tests was good, and I like the ability to unlock from standby. Not a fan of HydrogenOS, but I can see that it might have some appeal to people who like a more minimalistic android experience.
i also live in china and thinking to buy it ,i am just curious about camera quality and how much different hydrogen OS from Oxygen OS?
@khr0n0s Please post Antutu Benchmark results and Camera samples.Also comment on charging time and battery life.
I was gonna buy this or the new moto X, was inclining towards the moto X which would release in September, but now I am thinking that I'll just wait for the new OnePlus phone coming later this year. A company executive said that that phone would be the 'premium' phone, and that u don't think they are gonna add more than 200 $s (which would add up to the same price as the 64gb moto X style) to the price tag no matter how Premium they make it. Also, it is likely that that one will have the snapdragon 820 and a 2k screen. I hope this one has no hardware issues so I can be much more confident in waiting for the upcoming one, knowing that it likely won't have much hardware issues as well.

@ali_ge - You might have difficulty getting hold of one. I was just lucky. They sold 30,000 units in 64 seconds! HydrogenOS is very simple and has no home screens / widgets. The phone boots up in to an app drawer with a large clock at the top. Not many options to customise. It also has no google apps, but that is no different to any other Chinese handset. There is an english language option, but there is still quite a lot of Chinese notifications especially in the bundled apps. I will definitely be switching to OxygenOS when a ROM becomes available.
@bhu1 - Has the premium one plus been officially announced yet? I read an interview with Carl Pei in which he said it would be more about style than specs, but it was very vague. Even if they do release it later this year, if they use the same invite system then it will be difficult to get hold of for a few months.
@vaisakh7 - I'm at work now without the phone. I can post the benchmark and sample pictures this evening. I don't plan to use the phone as my main handset till I can install a custom recovery and flash with OxygenOS. This makes measuring charging time and battery life difficult.

Well yeah. Bootloader can be unlocked even now.. The thing is that we don't have factory image of OxygenOS yet.. As soon as we get it, we can flash it via fastboot.. Or we have to wait till International Version of OP2 goes on sale.. Then someone can easily upload the ROM Zip and we can flash it after unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery (we will have to wait a week atleast for a custom recovery imo) ... Or we can still do via fastboot but that will require extra efforts...
So hope OnePlus releases factory images of OxygenOS as soon as possible.
Is it possible also to unlock all international WCDMA/LTE bands when flashing OxygenOS on chinese version?

You don't have to unlock anything as it works just fine out of the box. I also ordered a 64GB version from Aliexpress.
edit: ok, LTE bands B5, B8 and B20 is not supported, but it is not a big deal for me as I mainly use B3 and B7.
I'm curious about the Antutu Benchmark, camera output and battery life.. OP, if you could posts more details, that would be great..
@Mermaidss @Aisakh7 @riyadh - AnTuTu benchmark as requested:
Here are some sample images. I think the camera is as good as LG G3.
For comparison, here is a low light photo from the LG G3 running Cyanogenmod:
OnePlus 2 running HydrogenOS:
Both images were taken using default settings. The OnePlus 2 is darker but more natural.
Pretty good!

OP, please install this and let us know!
hopefully the oneplus 2 china version situation is same as oneplus one, the hardware was the same but the band support was actually controlled by the rom (the radio I assume).
I'm a Chinese user of the A2001 variant. Hydrogen OS got updated this week to 1.1.0. I soon found that it is a very good build compared to the version that comes with the phone and Oxygen OS 2.0.0. Nearly everything is better: OPT is now buttery smooth, home key is more sensitive, compatibility improves and the temperature is cooler (battery life hasn't been tested yet). It's good to see OPT staying on the right track. Hope it helps regain some confidence.
If you happened to have a Chinese variant, simply go for the OTA. If you want to switch from Oxygen OS, flash the full package
https://mega.nz/#!8tczGAqC!J0zVOkdTfE6mq9wHE3raT1kimrOIqP-eNIfHbWcnW1w
and Gapps (I'm using Gapps mininal for android 5.x), then the supersu 2.46 for root access. Clean flash is advised.
Since I'm staying in UK, the baseband on Chinese variant are not working properly for me. Sometimes LTE signal falls down to 3G and never comes back. I flashed the baseband from Oxygen OS 2.0.0 (download link) and the problem seems to be solved. You need to go into fastboot mode and then
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Enjoy!

I tried HydrogenOS for a day. The first build of 1.1.0 was a bit buggy, but I noticed that the 2nd build came out this week which I assume is much better. I find the lack of widgets and tray icons very annoying. I have widgets that I like to glance at which provide information without opening an app, for example weather and aqi. The tray only displays the number of notifications you have, not what they are. More annoying than that, if you don't set an application to priority, it doesn't even count towards that number. I changed the default SMS app and didn't even realise I had a message waiting as there was no tray icon showing when the tray was closed! They have gone WAY to far on over simplifying things and have removed functionality.

These are not things that should be unique to HydrogenOS. They should also be fixed in the next build of OxygenOS. What for you makes the Hydrogen skin better than Oxygen?
Innovations are never bad. Even if you do not like any changes, the flexibility of android solves anything. Install third party launcher brings back widget.
I agree that the axe of icon tray is 'annoying' to one who is used to how old android works, however this is a matter of taste rather than quality. While majority of the people reject the windows 8 for its lack of start menu, still there are folks enjoying the idea of an unified experience. That was where Windows 10 comes from.
Hydrogen and Oxygen are not likely maintained by the same team. Hydrogen keeps getting updated every week (to mimick the mode found on MIUI) or two while Oxygen is set to a lower priority. It is like a mainstream version vs long term support version. With Hydrogen you will keep receiving newest feature and improvments. Anyway, I was just recommending what's better at the moment. It does not mean that Hydrogen will be inherently better than Oxygen at any time.

i wouldnt call it crap cause there are things htc got it right, screen quality and speaker. But the m9 really gets uncomfortable to hold after 15 mins of light use (facebook, web, messaging).
the battery of this 1+2 is by far very good, much better than my n6. And its not uncomfortable to hold after long time of using, thats great.:good:
one thing i noticed after installing a kernel managing app is that the big cores are almost not used, and there is just 2 cores online at standby frequency (384). The LITTLE cores do almost (99%) of the work. But that could just be cause of my light usage, the phone performs better than the n6, so no complain
haha , just can wait for mine OP2

Le max 2 price in my contry is: 250$ for 4GB/32GB version. It sounds pretty cheap, isnt it? 250$ for brandnew phone, Snap 820, 4GB is quite interesting
My main usage is:
+ phone
+ social apps
+ phone call recorder app, voice memo
+ some small apps

My OPO is very lightweight with Exodus rom, i wonder which rom to use with Le Max 2 to have same experience.
How about Lemax 2 battery, back camera and design. Please share your experience and suggestions!

no
its only $220 today in china.

Le Eco or LeTV (Whatever they want to call themselves today) can practically give this phone for free but still people, especially the developer community will not touch this phone.
Le is so protective of their custom EUI that they don't want enterprising modding community to make custom ROMs for it. If no one is interested in buying your products, then what is the use of trying to be Apple regarding their software?
BTW EUI is not perfect. It is pathetic unoptimized piece of turd and the less we talk about the random bugs the better.

so shouldnt buy it
If Sources are released then it'll be a beast,even then its a good device,No issues except fingerprint is little slow compared to others.Just bought a sealed packed in 14k in India & very happy
They will never release source, their whole company plan is to sell phones with no profit and instead earn money by the streaming function that is built in the rom.
This phone is really the cheapest high-end or close-to-high-end device, it outclasses the Zuk Z2 and Xiaomi Mi5 with its worldwide LTE support.
Wouldn't surprise me if they aren't making any profit, latest flagship phones always cost around $180.
It all depends on what you want. If you are simply looking for a phone at a good price, it is hard to beat this one. The biggest flaw of this phone is the fingerprint scanner. It isn't good. However, if your main goal is a phone that has continued software development, this probably isn't the phone for you. But if you're content with stock rims, this is a very good phone. It can do most everything you want.

I'm running stock China 17s no root, I've no problem with fpscanner it's blazing fast an misses 1/25, but no bugs whatsoever. I compare it to an IPhone, But for 1/3 of the price.
It's a brilliant phone. It takes some getting used to though. EUI is not the most amazing launcher but it runs smooth no lag. The specs are dope at an affordable price. So far I have a few things that I am not happy with in the stock ROM
1. The light sensor in direct sunlight, the colours get over saturated, the blacks become gray.. It's annoying. Hope they can fix that with an update.
2. Camera issues. Can not auto focus during video recording, and images are a bit over exposed in the sun. Average camera that's for sure.
3. Bloatware. A lot of Chinese apps that do not apply to users out of China, they are useless and take up unnecessary space and data.
And that's about all for now. If I could install custom recovery and could get a bug free MIUI 8, i would ditch EUI.
just got mine today, updated to latest 18s. I'm quite pleased but having notification problems when the phone has been in sleep for a while. I hope it's easily fixed, but disappointed the error is allowed to get through testing.

I believe that the software is OK, simply you are too new on the forums and you don't know how to handle it. Please check topics about "notification problems" and you'll find the way to keep them from not cleaning while the phone is in sleep mode. The notifications are working fine.

Hello, i got mine last friday and i have eui version -> 5.8015S and i don't see any ota update, could you tell me where do you get that update, if you need to install any recovery, what are the steps to update this? I just know that power button and + vol i get EUI recovery and there is a option to flash a update.zip file
I have seen plenty of negative reviews about this phone, some people complain about the fingerprint sensor, others about screen issues... I really like the divece specs but I'm hesitant about buying it, I'm between this phone and the xiaomi remdi note 4x. Please if you have the phone, how long have you had it and do you have any issues?
Heyyo, for the fingerprint reader? It works amazing on the stock international ROM but it will only function properly on custom ROMs with a modem firmware flash to Chinese latest modem or developer version.
I have an x829 4GB ram and 64GB storage I bought from coolicool. I've had it since the middle of March.
The stock ROM is some kind of modified EUI ROM so it won't receive support from LeEco and only through the company you bought the phone but tbh I hated this modified international EUI. It has extremely aggressive automatic ram clearing thus some apps fail to send notifications for new emails (outlook) at random same with some other apps. Plus YouTube randomly froze the video feed and the quick toggles placed in the recent apps section instead of the notification drop down also sucks... So I didn't end up staying on the stock EUI international ROM for long lol. EUI ROM is a perfect example of "if it's not broke don't fix it"... EUI would have been better if it was closer to stock with tweaks on top... Mainly automatic RAM clearing and the notification quick toggles.
It is easy to unlock OEM bootloader so it should be darn easy to lock it again. I made a TWRP backup of everything so it should be super easy for me to go back completely to stock if I need to.
Custom ROMs are pretty good. Mokee and Ressurection Remix are fantastic Marshmallow ROMs and for Nougat? They're still in development but so far Resurrection Remix Nougat has been pretty darn good albeit it is pre rooted and heavily modified so it fails Safety Net so fingerprint reader may not work with some banking apps same with Android pay.
Currently there isn't Vulkan or Daydream support on the Nougat ROMs but that might come in time.
So what I'm saying is... The only problems I've had with mine are purely software. RR MM or Mokee MM are perfect but I love helping with ROM development with testing plus seeing upcoming changes that I can't help myself and be on Nougat even if there's bugs heh
Would I recommend the x829 like mine? Yes to those who don't mind tweaking with custom ROMs. Marshmallow ROMs are perfected now and Nougat development is exciting. I don't regret this purchase.
I highly recommend checking LTE band compatibility to your carrier before purchasing. In Canada with Koodo mobile it works perfectly as it has the required bands.

Heyyo, for the fingerprint reader? It works amazing on the stock international ROM but it will only function properly on custom ROMs with a modem firmware flash to Chinese latest modem or developer version.
I have an x829 4GB ram and 64GB storage I bought from coolicool. I've had it since the middle of March.
The stock ROM is some kind of modified EUI ROM so it won't receive support from LeEco and only through the company you bought the phone but tbh I hated this modified international EUI. It has extremely aggressive automatic ram clearing thus some apps fail to send notifications for new emails (outlook) at random same with some other apps. Plus YouTube randomly froze the video feed and the quick toggles placed in the recent apps section instead of the notification drop down also sucks... So I didn't end up staying on the stock EUI international ROM for long lol. EUI ROM is a perfect example of "if it's not broke don't fix it"... EUI would have been better if it was closer to stock with tweaks on top... Mainly automatic RAM clearing and the notification quick toggles.

Hi
Thank you very much for replaying your really helped me a lot, I'm buying the phone and sice I'm not really god at this stuff I'll aske a really god friend of mine whos's a profesional in the matter to help me with the ROM and stuff lol, thanks a lot.
You're very welcome! It is easy to unlock the boot loader to install TWRP and custom ROMs. Check out this detailed guide which is exactly how I did it

The X829 comes with bootloader unlocked.

mine is a x820 came with unlock bootloader but most of the time, resellers install another rom so they unlock bootlader
So i've been avoiding using my phone because i'm not really sure what to do about ROMs.
I'm guessing that I should back up the X829 FW with this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
After that, I don't really know what the best ROM to install would be.
I am guessing that something EUI based would be better as a daily driver as it won't be broken?
Out of the stock ROMs, i'm guessing that Chinese 23 is the best as I heard 26 has problems.
For EUI based CFW I can see these 2:
small eui
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-small-eui-5-9-aurel-battery-t3524531
cuoco92
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-leeco-le2x820max5-9-023s-cuoco92-t3608187
Or are there any others?
And what are the pros and cons of each?
I assume that EUI based CFW is better for a "daily driver"? Or is Android 7 CFW okay now?
I don't care if the fingerprint sensor doesn't work as I don't use it but I definitely don't want to break other things on the phone.
I have heard disturbing things about the camera focus being broken (can bad CFW damage the motors by driving them too far?), battery problems and other things.
The biggest problem I have with the phone atm is that there is a lot of black crush. I hope installing new FW will fix that but really, I would like a CFW that supports KCAL so i can calibrate the screen.

Is it still the case that band 20 cannot be unlocked fox x829, like in this topic? https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-unlock-bands-leeco-le-max-2-fix-t3439154
Also is there anything else a cfw noob should know / read up on?
Thanks

Both of them are good for everyday use, though I have noticed stock camera gives the best result that comes with EUI.
I have hardbricked x829 and I did mistake by not making firmware backup which you should definitely do, and if you can then please give a copy of x829 firmware to me too, this might recover my mobile.

Heyyo, eh you could reflash 5.8.016s but tbh it's not a good version of EUI ROM. For me YouTube would randomly fail to render the video feed or the agressive memory management would prevent some apps like Outlook from notifying me of new email and such... So I'd recommend any newer EUI ROM.
If you're really set on 5.8.016s though there's plenty of links still online such as this one I found via Google

So do the CFWs based on EUI have no issues compared to stock EUI firmware?
And are any of the Android 7 / 8 based CFWs good for a daily driver or is it better to stick with EUI?
Thanks

Heyyo, sorry if I missed answering this but for Android 8? Nah we are probably months away from something I'd consider for the average user as daily driver. They are definitely still experimental.
Android 7? Heck yeah they're darn good. The only issues in Android 7 ROMs that I've truly noticed is camera zoom big and flash with photos not being synced perfectly.
For the most stable Android 7 build? I'd say currently OmniROM. It works really good, has Google certified builds so they pass SafetyNet without the need of any mods or Magical Modules which is also a nice touch.
Otherwise? SlimRoms has a good balance of performance and battery and still receives updates and from my testing is stable haven't had any crashes.
