Which custom rom would you guys recommend on the X722 if choosing between
-LINEAGE 14.1
-PARANOID ANDROID 7.3
-GENESYS 26S
-FULL AROMA 20S
I am using stock EMUI now 26S and it's driving me crazy with play store keeps errorring and restarting and the stupid browser. Also i think it uses a lot of RAM.
Let me know what you think
If you're using stock 26s on the x722, are you sure you'll be able to flash another ROM without issue? Doesn't the stock 26s ROM lock the bootloader down, causing a brick the moment you try to flash any file from stock recovery (TWRP or ROM)? Or are you running the developer version of 26s? I heard the developer version doesn't lock the bootloader down but I'm not 100% sure. All I do know is that quite a few people here have tried flashing stuff over 26s, which has resulted in near-permanent bricks (see the brick thread in this sub-forum). Please correct me if I'm wrong
As for the Play Store errors, not sure why you're getting those. Did you install the Play Store after installing the ROM?

I'm also getting several Play Store errors on my X722. The ROM version reports as 26s, but i'ts probably the banggood store version. Is there any way of fixing this without altering the ROM?

Playstore was already pre installed, just performed an update with the new playstore. I've been reading through this topic on unlocking stock .26S.. this is the link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...--and-mods/unlock-bootloader-rom-26s-t3654083
You were right.. But this means I'm screwed .
As said below also instagram acts strange when accessing the camera and gets stuck or restarts.. Didn't even fully tried my phone since I dont have nano sim card yet.. :crying:

I didn't buy from banggood, I bought it from lightinthebox.com
Also i get errors or programs that get stuck for example instagram
My stock version is EUI 5.9.026S , I really hope this ROM could be changed since it's not working as flawlessly as expected..
For some reason the phone just doesn't work like a 820 chip should work. Neither the stock rom, modified stock. The custom roms based on lineage, paranoid rom are better, but still not as good as the 820 chip phones I tested with the same roms. I don't know if it is software or hardware. I am thinking slow storage...
Rom is EUI, not EMUI.
There is no 026 dev rom
026 stock can be downgraded to 001D rom through stock recovery and then you can flash all these roms.
Anyway, this is a poll topic and you can find a better place to discuss basis stuff
I am running stock EUI 5.8.20S everything is ok, battery is fine., no notifications show though
I tried stock rom Genesys 5.9.26S and Aicp Nougat but came back to 5.8.20S for now.
Notifications can be set - google for EUI notifications problem

Hey Dakok, been following you since the coolpad f1 days on modaco. Thinking about getting this phone. Does the Google HDR+ camera mod work on the elite model?
Also, do you have any personal recommendations on a reliable rom without bugs?
Yes it does. I think that there is a modified one that works with EUI and another one for custom 7.1 roms.
I am on stock 026s EUI yet, so I can't test any but there are many reports that it works fine.
Genesys 26s by Steve Mars is the most reliable rom IMHO.
Paranoid and AICP have minor bugs, otherwise very usable.

You mean that you cannot do it because of 026s EUI? or you just didn't try to downgrade yourself yet?
I was checking for downgrading from stock 0.26 s but it's impossible finding information on the web
I found this portugese video on youtube but i dont know exactly what he is doing there, also the links people refer to from the leeco forum have been taken down..
I cached the links and i find this (click)
But still very hard to understand what they do, could someone make it more explainable how to change with X722 from
EUI version 5.9.026S (Stable) (bought like this) -> version 20s (001D)-> to finally put on Paranoid android 7.3.1 on it? Is it even possible? I really don't want to brick my phone here..
Or should I open a new topic since the other legit ones are closed..
Thanks for everybody putting effort in trying this phone to be customized!
Batyan, a guy from russian 4PDA forum got the archive with two roms.
The first one is a developer EUI rom identified as WIXCNFN5800106140D or 01D (short).
It flashes through phone stock recovery.
The other is Banggood vendor EUI rom 020s, cleaned from China stuff.
This one flashes through fastboot.
01D rom is great since it is the only way to move from stock 026s EUI since it has locked bootloader and you can't do anything to replace recovery, make root or flash another rom.
So. Put that 01D (update.zip) in your phone and flash it through stock recovery (key combination or through phone settings or manager, not sure)
Or you can start it from EUI file manager (not sure).
Now you have 01D rom, you have unlocked bootloader and you can flash any other custom rom.
My advice is to flash Genesys 026s first since it is EUI 026s and it may be good to have latest
partitions flashed. Later you can try paranoid, aicp...
Don't flash lineage 15 (oreo) since it may make some problems regarding partitions.
Use CrisBal TWRP since it seems to be the most compatible.
Here's batyan 01D topic at XDA

Thank you so very much! Great explanation! Hope this will work at my phone! Will try it soon!
Now one final question, and I'm sure many people find this question usefull : Since at this topic there are some people with brick, is this a safe way to do it or is it a chance for a brick even if I do everything correct?
Build nr is : WIXCNFN5902607031S
Thanks again dakok for the good experience, keep going this way:good::good::good::good:

The only way to "hard" brick it is to flash stock 026s through twrp.
Paranoid but a little bit hard to do it for noobs, probably.
Poll Is corrupt
If paranoid ROM is the best... Then I'm a lepracon with lepra....
Its slow as hell, typing this takes ages... When I press a letter 7 seconds late it response... When some one called me I need to press 1100000 times before this ROM gives a reaction...
Also the builder doesn't respond to my mail. So, its what it is. Just a crappy ROM.
Merry Xmas

Maybe you have any problem with your phone.I have paranoid since 08/12/2017 and I can say that it is the best rom that I have tried.Very very fast almost without any issues or bugs and It is incredible experience for the user.
Paranoid is the best for ROM to check what is the true snapdragon 820.
Stock rom no problem. Also phone get hot as hell

Dear friends,
It looks like we lost few great dev so far, and face a lot of abandoned rom. Since then, i would try to use one custom ROM for my daily driver, and to use it a long time (since i would go abroad and will not flashing the device on abroad). Which custom ROM is most stable for daily use, and no need to update baseband (because i found it so hard to update). Thanks friends..

Hello.
I'm using currently Rammars Paranoid 4.4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/development/rom-paranoidandroid-4-6-t2933958 , been using it for daily use(mostly twitter, whatsapp and instagram), no problem with that, pretty smooth fast, i suggest using Nova launcher, and if you like eye candy, get the Androidl theme from playstore, as far as you keep away from gaming, and really heavy apps, it is stable. No kernel panics, no unexpected shutdowns/reboots. All great. But the onlydownside, surprinsgly the best battery life i stumbled upon was for rammars lollipop, 5.3.2 the most stable to be exact.
Still, i`m right now about to restore CWM backup of a nandroid (v20h) to be back on stock, becaue, honestly, there won't be a more stable ROM than stock.
If you still have a stock rom installed, updating rom and baseband won't be difficult, if OTA or the LG Flash Tool won't give you anything newer than v20h(like in Europe) you need the appropiate KDZ file.
With a custom rom, seemingly the LG drivers and tools no longer recognize the phone, and getting back to stock or updating bb gets a bit complicated. I wrote down my sad story in Artas' thread, an finally I even succeeded, it's all there.

Sorry for offtopic, but getting back to stock is pretty easy if u use NANDROID, but if you want a full wiple, like the way you bought it, no CWM no nothing, KDZ flashing does the trick.
I'm sorry, didn't notice the baseband thing, on what baseband are you at?
hi i'm used 4.4.4. artas and think it's the better i have a p768
Hey guys,
Got on hands noname Chinese android phone with lollipop on board (even though it says 6.0.1 in settings) and MTK6580 quad processor, 3.10.72 kernel
can I somehow put cyanogen rom from another phone?
Yes, find another phone using that chip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_using_Mediatek_SoCs
Then go here: http://www.needrom.com and find THAT phone(s) and see if there is a custom rom for THAT phone also using the same kernal 3.10/3.12 etc
Download that rom and port it yourself using the boot.img from YOUR phone using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938
And get it at least booting on your phone, out of loads I've done on MTK phones, 95% boot up first time, 50% of those have no issues, the other 50% have issues with cameras/wifi/video/phone that can be fixed literally with trial and error of swapping files from your stock rom to the new rom, can take hours/days of trial and error or could take minutes.
Have fun
EDIT: try to use a custom rom from a brand you have at least kinda heard of, doogee, walton, infinix...etc to make it more likely to work well.

Thank you for your response!
After few hours of research I have found many ROMs that are applicable for my phone. The thing is, I want it to be and look as close to stock android as possible, and as close to most recent version as well.
But still I have few questions:
1)Am I right by saying that kernel 3.10.72 is suitable only for android 5.x?
2)Is it possible to put android 6.x or 7.x?
3)If it is do I need to ugrade kernel?
4)Is it possible to upgrade kernel?
I really hope it's not too much to ask from you.

Your phone is basically the same as mine, and sadly the kernal has to be the same for every custom ROM, there are no kernel sources so no custom kernels, which means we are both stuck with lollipop
The infinix hot 2 for example, is the same MTK chip and was released with lollipop and kernel 3.10 but then infinix released a stock marshmallow upgrade, with a stock 3.12 kernel so they could get a custom 6.0 rom which im 99% sure we will never get.
If you go here: http://www.needrom.com/author/robneymcplum/ this is me on there, where I have ported the best 5.1.1 roms with our kernel. You will need to port to your phone, which is literally just swapping about 10 files from your stock rom so make a backup of your stock rom or find stock firmware, and get the files from there and use the guide i already posted.
Hope this helps. And if you have never done it, its way, WAY easier than you think it might be
Hello all!
I am just new to leeco mobiles. I just purchased (wrongly) the Le max 2 x829 4Gb / 64Gb.
1. I would like to know how to officially update the rom as i can't see any place to update (OTA) or not.
Can anyone help me to choose the best rom version for this beast? Also one version that the fingerprint sensor is not that slow...
2. I would also apreciate if anyone can help me on choosing a "custom" rom, stable, fast and with not battery drains (currently on stock rom i can get almost 2 days of battery) with average usage (some 4g, many wi-fi, some calls, some sms, some browsing, no games).
Many thanks in the advance for the help.

1. Most of us here root the phone and install TWRP recovery and flash custom rom. Even official stock roms you can flash them with TWRP. Its the easiest way to get update I think. Official update I never do it. Guide how to root/install TWRP here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
This tread have some more info you asking for:

2. For stock rom you can try Small EUI by Aurel there is few battery mode you can choose or Madsurfer's 5.9.23S (with Htc Sense home launcher) it got pretty good battery life. If you want to try 7.1 Nougat rom you can try Nexus rom or Mokee I think.

Official Indian stock last one was I think 5.8.019S, come with Google service and Play store its cleaner. Chinese stock rom don't come with Google service/Playstore and have some chinese stuff apps and LeEco video streams etc. If you flash any official stock rom it will replace TWRP with EUI stock recovery. So you will need to flash TWRP recovery again via Fastboot or other way.

Chinese stock rom you can install Google installer and after use it to install Google service and Playstore thats one way to do it.
Okay so as title says i recently bought a LeEco Le Max 2 X829 from gearbest. I had a few questions and was hoping someone here could help =).
I have searched but didn't seem to find much to help me. Well first i was wondering if i should just leave it on the rom i receive from gearbest or is that a bad idea, Also was curious if the phone would work with h2o, It has all the bands but just wanting to get verification from someone else. Thanks.
Hello @AdcMainVayne,
As far I'm concerned this phone works in most European countries and the only band that does not work is LTE Band 20, but the rest should work just as expected. When it comes to the stock firmware available on the X829, I recommend you to install a custom rom like Cuoco92, because of that the stock rom on the X829 receives no updates and comes with a very outdated version of EUI. The link to the Fastboot package for Cuoco92 can be found here.
I would flash the latest Indian ROM after wiping everything since online Chinese retailers are known to add trojans/viruses/etc. Besides the X829 ROM is abandonware and won't get any updates ever.

Flashing the indian rom for this phone would kind of not be very worthwhile as it runs on an older version of EUI and as far as I'm concerned it also runs on an older security update, so flashing a CN-based ROM with gapps would be ideal in most cases,
Thanks for the replies, I guess Cuoco92 is the best custom rom to choose from in your opinion?

I would try official linage, Resurrection remix, MIUI rom. Once you get your bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed you can try any of them. I really hated eui stock rom. Also with h2o you might have to go to a store or call them to have them add your IMEI Sim slot for service.

Sound and camera issues on rr and linage. I mean everything works and buttery smooth. Antutu 150,000 score on rr. I'm on Miui8 7.4.2.4 now I really like how smooth it is. No sound issues. Pretty stable. Kind of similar to eui. It's a a port not official. Android 6. But really like it a. Lot. Kind of hard to get it working the first time. Small eui just lags to much for me.
Crazy fast LTE and I'm on metro pcs.
x722 QFIL is now available for hard bricks. See x722 Development Forum or scroll down for the link.
Although this thread is stickied in the Question & Answers sub-forum, I see that people are still ending up with bricked phones because they only visit this section of the forum. Let's hope this thread puts an end to accidental bricks once and for all (and let's hope that the future brings a solution to these bricked x722s).
Don't worry; custom 26s ROMs are fine to flash through TWRP. Vendor ROMs are fine to flash through TWRP.
Just don't flash the first stock 26s ROM you find online. Like the 26s ROM from Needrom, or a 26s ROM from a Chinese forum.
WARNING! There was a report that @STEVE_MARS's Genesys 26s ROM bricked a phone. See this post for reference. I urge you to stay away from that ROM and other eUI 26s based ROMs. You never know if your device will get bricked
Below lies the same info as is in the Q&A forum sticky.
Planning on flashing a custom ROM on your LeEco Pro3 Elite x722? Planning on flashing TWRP on your LeEco Pro3 Elite x722?
READ THIS ENTIRE POST FIRST, or you may accidentally brick your device
DO NOT flash official/stock 26s through TWRP.
DO NOT UPDATE TO official/stock 26s if you want to flash TWRP on your x722.
Your x722 will get permanently bricked if you install stock 26s (or firmware WIXCNFN5802005041S) through TWRP. That's because stock 26s permanently locks down the bootloader. At that point, only fastboot is available. Do not attempt this or you will end up with a permanently bricked device.
EDIT: As of September 24, 2018, @F.J.V has posted the x722's QFIL. Hooray! https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...ides-development--and-mods/qfil-x722-t3846553
HELP! I'm on 26s! I received my x722 and it's stuck on 26s! HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?
That's simple. If your x722 is on stock 26s, you only need to flash Batyan's 01D developer ROM (20s) through the stock LeEco recovery. Click for the download and instructions. Follow the instructions and you will be able to safely unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP.
However, most x722s are on vendor ROMs. If your phone is on a 26s vendor ROM, it's safe to flash. Look at the chart below to figure out if you've got stock 26s or vendor 26s. If you're not sure about what you have, post here and we'll try to help. If you don't want to take any chances, you can always downgrade to 01D first.
@dakok has created a handy chart for the different vendor ROMs here.
I just got my x722 today and I want to unlock the bootloader, root it, and flash TWRP. How do I do that?

What ROMs are available for the x722? Will x720 ROMs work on the x722?
Some x720 ROMs are indeed compatible with the x722, but need to be ported to the x722, therefore not all x720 ROMs work on the x722. If the ROM is not specifically for your device (i.e. labelled as being for the x722), don't flash it. For example, MIUI is not available for the x722 because no one has ported it from the x720 to the x722. If you flash, say, MIUI 9 for LEX720 on your x722, you'll end up with a soft brick, most likely.
Remember to make a Nandroid backup of your eUI ROM before flashing any other ROM!
Downgrading to the 01D ROM won't harm your phone in any way, but this ROM's performance isn't the best compared to normal 20s or 26s vendor (shop) ROMs. It's a developer's ROM, after all. So if you ever want to return to eUI, you'll want to make a backup of your vendor/shop eUI ROM via Nandroid if you're sick of custom ROMs for whatever reason.
I want to go back to eUI from a custom ROM. What should I do?
If you want to return to the 01D 20s ROM, you have to flash it through the stock LeEco recovery, NOT TWRP! Do not attempt to flash the .bat file from this package or the update.zip from this package via TWRP or you might screw up your device royally. If you absolutely need to go back to this ROM for whatever reason, you need to flash the stock recovery first through fastboot.
I recommend you follow my advice and make a Nandroid backup of your 20s vendor/shop eUI ROM or the 01D ROM (if you had to downgrade because you were on a stock LeEco ROM) before flashing anything else on your device. Guys, it's basic XDA knowledge to make a Nandroid backup of stock software before attempting anything... c'mon now.
Feel free to correct/add to this thread as you see fit. Thanks.

Thank you for this info!
I just received my LEX722 today, but it's on Android 6.0.1 with 1 August Security Patch (EUI 5.8.020S build WIXCNFN5802001232S release-keys). And I don't see any option to check updates.
I'm on a Shop ROM? If yes, how I can find and install/update to latest Global ROM without any brick?
And what's the latest version available of Official ROM?
Sorry for many questions, I do not know anything about the device.

Hi.
I guess i got the same rom as you on my LEX722, and there isn't any OTA checker. I recommend you to flash a custom rom if you want, or, flash modded Genesys 26S which has modded kernel so it won't lock up your bootloader.

Got it, thank you so much! I will install Genesys 26S to enjoy the Official ROM a bit. Just for an info, what is the best Custom ROM in stability? LOS 15.1?

Ok, let me quickly explain.
You are on a vendor rom, but any "20s" is a good rom (EUI 5.8.020S even if the build is different)
Although there is another "official" rom, YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL IT, because then you won't be able to unlock bootloader and if you do that, you simply cannot modify your phone any more.
I highly recommend that you make a nandroid backup or a twrp backup (and if you can, provide it to me, because I need it).
LeEco is not making anymore phones, so you won't have any more official updates, so you won't have any nougat neither oreo unless you flash a custom rom. The only rom provided here is a developer rom that has a "vendor patch", but it's not exactly an original stock/vendor rom.
How can i install the stock 26s? i'm on custom 8.1
I have the stock 26S (WIXCNFN5902607031S) that came with the phone. I checked and the bootloader is unlocked. Can I flash the twrp and the Pixel Experience?

Unlocked bootloader? Than i guess you are good to go.
Hard brick nightmare is over now.

Hi, this happened also to me after installing @CrisBalGreece ROM. Now, I can enter only in fastboot. I connot enter in TWRP since the phone freeze and restart. Qfill cannot solve the problem.
Did you find a solution?
Thanks
