Flyme 7 based on Android 8 Oreo is coming - Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Flyme 7 Coming to Older Phones Like Meizu PRO 5.. to see click here :fingers-crossed:
It's good news, currently only 4.7% of mobile phones have Oreo.
The trouble is until Flyme gets stable
And if there are new drivers maybe someone (@faust93) is able to port it to Resurrection Remix 6, which is still in beta on most phones
You just have to wait and all the pieces are put together

They just released the Meizu 15 with Android 7.1.2. and Flyme OS 7, does not even come with Oreo.
I'm very disappointed!
Meizu is one year behind in the design and software of its mobile phones. They pass the fashions without offering anything.
I expected them to catch up, but nothing. He's going to win a bad name forever.
They will end up putting the sign closed for vacations, which we already know what it means.
Above, they do not pay Google for having Google Play well. The International Version is a fake, they aren't Certified

And they also have blocked the bootloader so you can not install any ROM (there are none in the Meizu Pro 6, Pro 7).
My next mobile will not be a Meizu is clear. In 2015, they competed with Xiaomi, I thought that they would get over them but they have chosen very bad strategies, such as making several versions (China, the International), moving away from Google, problems with apps, very similar designs for all their phones, prices that are too high compared to the competition , many software failures in Flyme, without Android updates ...

Luckily I have it with RR and Android 7.1.2 (in 3G and without finger print but this does not matter at all). And I'm happy with him !!
You do not need another Android if you have it well customized (Substratum, Exposed, Magisk Manager ..).
But it would be cool to have RR with Oreo..

Flyme 7 is out since 22.04.18 and IS NOT BASED on Oreo
It's again based on Nougat 7.0
I've tried 7.8.4.22 A, not soo bad, some little bugs with camera and other things but overall 's good

in 2022 i bet they are going to have oreo
or meizu will die

Meizu has disappointed me so much that I bought another mobile (not from Meizu). I have endured so much thanks to the Faust93 ROM but I could not do it anymore, it was a little on a whim, more than other things

Meizu was downgrading ever since 2015 and their strategy to focus on the Chinese market with dozens of new devices every year led to abandoning all their previous flagships and lack of focus on software updates. Obviously providing regular up-to-date upgrades does not bring in too much revenue compared to the new devices ranging from budget to flagships that bring in millions. This fact showed their real face - hunt for money rather than for creating an outstanding product and attracting even more customers. Pro 5 is my first Meizu phone and is definitely the last one. Even with running RR 7.1.2 and fully and smoothly functioning hardware, I do really lack fingerprint option and I don't like having any sacrifices on the device. which once used to be a flagship and still has pretty powerful insides to date. I like trying different roms and flashing firmware, but for the testing purposes, not because I am forced to in order to have more or less up-to-date Android version and properly working Google Services and Play Store. This is just ridiculous and disgusting.

Did someone tried flyme 7, this version 7.8.5.8?

hi everybody.
I'm surfing the internet.
https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/
I came across this site.
I downloaded and installed the Meizu pro5 Flyme 7.0.2.0A from the https://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-23.html#3 link provided on the site. I got backup of my phone. I've installed wipe cache. And it works.
I wanted to share it with you.
Notes:
- I had a flyme 6.3 rom.
- I installed vipe cache from the first installation. sim network did not work. vipe cache cleaning and installed all functions worked.
-Flyme has added facial recognition and works very nicely.
- Press the power button. I installed the version uplink type. As described in the first link. (https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/)
-I've been using it for two days. very nice. Flyme7 is the original system board and stable.
- Before loading, change the ro.product.locale = zh-CN line in the zip file (update.zip/system/build.prop) to -> ro.product.locale = en-US.
- Bad news - I use English. Problems can occur in other languages.

The pro5 really got android 8.0!?
Maybe I should (after switching to the global version a year ago) back to the chinese roms...
Are the google apps all working? Incl. contacts etc?
Thanks already for the update!

pro 5 now is with oreo??
i´m speechless lol

Unfortunately nope, Oreo was only a dream for us

U can use it as daily rom, it's almost near to perfection. But it's not new, it's 2018.08.10 so 3 months old.

Hi all,
Since it seems there are not updates coming for the global version of pro5 anymore I am considering to switch to the Chinese ROM.
Is it possible to install the latest Chinese version to a GLOBAL Pro5?
If it is a more complex process, do you have instructions a link that shows how to do it?
Thanks a lot!

i think you have to change the product label to chinese ( i tried without doing so and i failed miserably )

it's depend on what recovery you use to update, stock or TWRP. If with TWRP, you need to replace bootloader and recovery in zip to be unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

Some help understanding my Redmi 3

Hi guys,
Long time Android user here - I've recently sold my Blackberry Priv and have picked up a Redmi 3. I'm struggling to wrap my head around the ROM terminology for this device.
- I am based in the UK, I can see in my device settings that I am on a 'Global' ROM
- I can see that there is a 7.3 version of miui available for this device, but cant find a reliable download source (currently running 7.2.7.0.0 - LHPCNDB)
- Will Miui 8 be released for this device (Global?)
- If I choose to flash the device with a Chinese version, what will the differences in the software be?
- The BL unlocking processes confuses me - do I literally need to send a request to Xiaomi for this to be done or can I do it via a tool?
I think this is all for now - I'd appreciate some help clearing up the above questions.

There is no official global rom for this device at the moment. Your rom seems to be a cooked room by the seller.
Official rom comes with English and Chinese only (and a lot of Chinese useless apps)
My suggest is to flash official developer rom (you need the developer rom to unlock bootloader), unlock bootloader (yes you need to apply for it to Xiaomi). Once unlocked, install twrp and a stable unofficial eu rom (this one has no OTA but is clean off Chinese apps).
If you have the no-pro version, you can also try the CM12 from this forum. It seems to be a very good rom.

You should apply to unlock your bootloader first; just make a Mi Account and go through the process. You might have to wait a few days (I waited 6). Some good tutorials are available on the MIUI forums or here on XDA.
After you've unlocked the bootlader, the next step is to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP (also on XDA), then a custom ROM of your choice. I reccommend installing xiaomi.eu if you live in Europe for the good localizations. Otherwise you can install the Chinese Stable / Dev ROM at your choosing; it has English language but some of the Chinese apps might annoy you. MIUI8 has been released for the Chinese developer ROM, and therefore the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which uses it as base. A CM 12.1 build is also available on XDA if you're into that, although it has some bugs regarding the camera, fingerprint sensor, and GPS.

Install custom ROM on Honor Note 10...

Hi guys,
Trying to get this device to get a little support here are my experiences that I would like to share so far.
I have the Honor Note 10 8/128. It's unlocked. It has TWRP and it is rooted.
Now I would like to install something else than EMUI, maybe even Pie.
So here is what I was able to find out :
- it is possible to install the OpenKirin Project : Resurrection Remix and OmniRom and boot them ; but the fingerprint scanner doesn't work to wake device in Resurrection Remix (could not test in Omni ROM : I'll do that later tonight) ;
- it is possible to boot from at least one custom ROM made for "berkeley" (Honor View 10). And there, everything works... But of course, really few customization. Also, I was able to find out that, as soon as I install an AOSP based ROM, rebooting into TWRP fails : TWRP remains stuck at "splash" screen...
So I think it's really close to being able to run a s custom AOSP based ROM on the Honor Note 10, but that would require someone with a little more dev skills than I have to look into that
Anyone with such skills around here ? It would be really great to be able to have the Honor Note 10 running Resurrection Remix (Oreo) or Havoc (Pie)...
Regards.

Sorry but you do not just flash ROMs for other phones that can go wrong
Hi guys,
Well, you're obviously not interested in this...
You're happy with EMUI, so be it...
Me, I don't really like it
I really would like AOSP based which I am accustomed to.
And despite what is written here, I would like to stress that :
- when Treble was announced by Google, Huawei/Honor praised themselves to offer fully compliant devices with Treble ;
- Honor View 10 and Honor Note 10 share the same hardware, excet for display... and thus I have been able to boot PixelExperience for berleley (Honor View 10) into Note 10...
But of course, if you'd ratehr stick to EMUI and would like me to stop sharing my thoughts here, I will do.
Regards.
I haven't unlock my phone yet, but flashing GSI via fastboot seems to be the safest way.

Hi,
Yes, we share the same experience.
But you will notice that this channel is dead : no developer support for this device and custom ROM allergic people participating here
So basically : no interest from manufacturer ; no interest from developer ; no interest from users...
I switched to Xiaomi mi Max 3 : no real custom ROM there, but at least some interest from community and manufacturer who keeps updating the ROM.

Thanks for all the info guys. I an looking to get this phone and install any of the ROMs from openkirin.
Is it a bad decision ? If I install the ROMs many for view 10, will I be able to update them OTA ?
Please comment/advise.
Thanks in Advance.

Have we devised a work around for "Stuck at TWRP Splash"? Flashed Bliss from view 10 and wanted to look at Pixel Exp. but can not re-enter TWRP.
And to those of you running Pixel Exp. without issue, have you tried going back into TWRP?

Hi,
Can't say as I don't run the device anymore...
No interest from manufacturer.
No interest from developers.
No interest in development from the community here.
No interest for buyers.
My Honor Note 10 8/128 in Black is on an ad since about 40 days, and not a single reply even though I think I have positioned it fairly as a price
This is probably the best phone I've had, but the worst buy I've made for the aforementioned reasons...
Blame Honor. This was my first attempt. And will be the last. And I will of course spread the news all around me to as much people as I can.
It's funny : when I look around, my students who all had Honor or Huawei (apart from iPhones of course and of Samsung also) now more and more have OnePlus and Xiaomi devices...
No more Honor ; no more Huawei.
And they're absolutely not geeks by any means...
As a wild guess I'd say that they rely on geek friends who tell them not to buy Honor anymore.
And so I'll join that anti-Honor/Huawei league unless they change their policies about unlocking the bootloader.
And I am saying this because Huawei presented themselves as the best student in class for Treble support when it was announced.
Where are we now ?
Another promise not kept...
No support for Treble, no updates after 6 months device is released, no source code given, no unlocking of bootloader...
They can just use their device as suppositories.
Hope that will cure them from that closed source disease that is spreading more and more...

Hi,
Sell those fairy tales to somebody else please...
5-6 updates in 3 months ? Probably. i've witnessed 2 updates.
And one of those forbids to change the default launcher... Is that an update or a severe regression ?
You can unlock the bootloader ?
Well, I've tried to boot the device in fastboot mode and to type "fastboot oem-unlock"... Guess what ? It did nothing...
To unlock this device, I had to go to an obscure website from probably a hacker/retailer that does it "grey", to pay 25 dollars and to wait for an unlock code...
All other phones I've had so far (Motorola, Sony, OnePlus, Xiaomi)... at worst you had to ask for an unlock code on the manufacturer's website and got it free !
Treble support ?
Come on... Did you even tried to install GSI to this device and had it working properly with no severe battery drain ?
Well, as you know from my other posts : I've tried it all... Even to flash Berkeley (Honor View 10) custom Rom's.
And when I was luck, the device booted...
But even then a lot of things weren't working properly : BT, display brightness...
And look at the facts :
- how much devs working on this device ? 0
- how many custom ROMs fro this device ? 0
- how many TWRP for this device ? 1 (unofficial)
- how many custom kernels for this device ? 0
- hon many posts about development for this device in the past week ? 2
So all in all how's support for this device from manufacturer or community ?
- community : 0
- manufacturer : -1 (for regressive releases of EMUI !).
Yopu can answer... You're the only one active on this channel... Truth is : no one wants this device anymore.
It made high promises and did not deliver...

My Answer:
You can see that you have no idea about the whole thing.
You have to buy a Unlock Code!I paid $ 22 and it was worth it!
HN10 is support Treble,but you have to wait for a Rom for this Device.
I buy with firmware 108,next update 120 next 123 next 125,next 132 next 132,next 151 and the latest 158!
If you have no idea, you should rather leave it!

(Solved) Assistance in finding help in finding a legit copy of the Lenovo Tab M8 FHD Android 9 firmware.

I was recently gifted a lovely Lenovo Tab M8 FHD tabled, and while the hardware and overall design is very spiffy, Android 10 is absolutely horrible on it. Android 10 is using up massive amount of resources, has some real bad optimization issues and it's just bad in general. I checked the official Lenovo forums and there are tons of threads about how the Android 10 OTA update that was not announced or anything has caused issues with their devices. I read both on there multiple times, and in a thread on here that it's possible to use the Lenovo rescue and recovery tool to install Android 9 through putting the old rom in a folder that has the name of the most up to date rom. I found two separate roms with the same name, if slightly different file sizes while I was combing through the internet, and while I tried to use both to get Android 9 on my device, neither worked. So, I am hoping and praying that someone on xda can give me some badly needed help with a link or even vague directions toward where I can get the firmware I so seek. I am rambling on a bit and I do apologize for that, but I can sincerely say that it would be a big weight off my metaphorical chest if I could get some help with this. Thanks for reading my post. Also, I apologize if I mixed up rom and firmware at times.
Just got Tab M8 FHD and decided to give Android 9 a try since tablet is more laggy than I though.
I got rom from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_M8_FHD/TB-8705F/
Flashed it with SP_Flash_Tool, using the Download agent MTK_AllInOne_DA_6765.bin (found in the archive with the ROM) (I disabled "Check LIB DA match" in Flash tool options).
Rom TB-8705F_S100099_200706_BMP.zip is Android 9. Got Magisk and EdXposed running.
Maybe it's just in my mind but it does seem faster than Android 10 - well at least when scrolling through menus or browsing Play Store. Overall performance is probably the same so downgrading won't make games / apps run smoother.

After you installed Android 9, did you have to use the disbale vbmeta method like they did in Android 10 to get root or did you have to use another method?

Miuimi 12 sucks....

Hi guys,
this is my first experience report about my new Poco X3 NFC with Miumi 12 after 14 days in use....
To explain: 2 years ago i got my first xiaomi redmi note 6 pro global. This machine is a fine thing, but i never liked the miui surface. So i decided to unlock and root the phone and use a custom rom. This was the very best decision for me.
So far, so good... At least i bougth my new Poco X3 NFC and i got 14 days ago. I heard a lot of "good" things about the new Miui 12, so that was one reason for me to catch this deal....
After nearby 14 days using this phone with this original surface Miui 12 i can say: it sucks, nothing else but the original apps are running smooth. It is nearly impossible to run an alternative launcher, really nothing runs flawless on this terrible, awful surface! The simplest things like "notification badges" etc. are not present, they still are not in function...
Ok, Miui "spend" a launcher: Poco Launcher. Hmm, nearby, but (for me) lightyears away from any kind of personalization. Change icons? Runs partially... Want to unlink the fu..... ring- and notification sounds? Misrepresented!!! This (for me) confusing settings menu? There is no better thing than a clean android system or custom rom!
The next annoying crap is the annoying advertising - i spend a "little" time to "destroy" this really sucking "feature".....
Oh, before i forgot: i tried to run the launchair launcher, ruthless launcher, nova launcher, microsoft launcher and at least hyperion launcher. With all this launchers it is on my phone totally impossible to run all features - on every other phone with custom rom or original they run like hell!
The one and only way to operate this phone "fine and smoothly" is this: leave it in its original condition! But who wants this? Personalization? Inadequate....
But yes, there are two things they are fine: the energy options and the camera app. But thats it for me.
So, this is my experience after 14 days and the next thing i will do is unlock the bootloader, install a recovery systen (maybe twrp or orange fox) and root the phone with magisk. With this solution i hope to improve some things - i 'll keep testing this
Best wishes and greets
I'm using Nova Launcher on all devices since a couple of years. Mui has the habit of preventing background tasks and autostart(never saw this before) for all apps except Xiaomi and Google ones and probably a few other. Autostart, notifications and widgets i only need for a handful of apps(including the launcher), and none of these worked out of the box.
But all relevant options are bundled in the app's context menu, no scrolling thru huge lists including all the system apps. Simply allow autostart, disable powersaving and give the app more or less all access rights. Running pretty well now. It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful, so thats not an issue at present.
Hi lecorbusier,
thanks for your answer.
With your sentence >It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful< your totally right
Yesterday i unlocked my X3, flashed TWRP - and wow: System destroyed....
Turned to fastboot, flashed OrangeFox, puh, it 's not broken....
Flashed Magisk also and today i will see what happen....

Lmao, who told you that MIUI is a good thing. It's ok, but compared to custom ROM it sucks.
If you want to try custom ROM, ArrowOS is the best optimized custom ROM + Void custom kernel If you want maximum fluidity/smoothness as it's optimized for minimum latency and jank. Battery life is still good in my usage, maybe 2 hours less maximum, but it's worth it. With stock kernel, SOT is a bit better.
ArrowOS gets improvements every day on ROM side with fixes & improvements + occasionally improvements & fixes to the device side.
I tried 5 other custom ROMs (crDroid, Resurrection Remix, LineageOS 17.1, CorvusOS, NitrogenOS) and that's my experience.
Everything works except fast charging information with Xiaomi charger (all custom ROMs have this issue) & Miracast (which I'm not sure if it works or not since I never used it).
So all in all, just flash custom ROM in this one too!
Devil's advocate here ( ), Xiaomi.eu with updated firmware and Stormbreaker kernel feels smooth as butter here -- but it takes some intensive tweaking.
Hi there, good morning from Germany
A short "update"....
After "repairing" (see 3 posts above) I've done the following:
Installed Lsposed (Magisk), installed CustoMIUIzer and started "playing" with the mass of settings in it....
What should I say: I'm pretty impressed.
Almost everything is going as hoped and does what it should! Till now I got no numbers on my notification badges, but this is a part I can live with.
That doesn't mean that i have changed my opinion about the MIUI-Surface, especially the terribly nested settings.... But with a bit of work you can establish a relatively well-running system that you can personalize according to your wishes.
So for the moment I'm pretty happy, but I'm still testing...
Ah, before i forget to mention: magisk and safetynet was another problem. I have found a module that works (for me), look here
So, thats it for today, many greetings and happy easter
Hello everyone,
here 's another short update for miui....
The good news first: it runs, Ruthless Launcher is working, original camera app is fine, other things: see my post above...
That 's it!
Unlock by (or with) bluetooth??? Fail! It seems that Xiaomi only supports its own devices - what a crap.... I clearly miss this function.
I stick to my opinion: miui sucks....
The only point that keeps me from installing a custom rom is the camera app (at least for the moment)...
My conclusion: to use all possibilities of this device you "must" use a custom rom, otherwise you have to live with the restrictions

My main reason to keep Xiaomi.eu, too. When LOS becomes official, I'll brace myself for intensive testing of camera alternatives...
for me, personally, i dont like miui as well. luckily we have a bunch of custom roms out there and even i found a better rom for my daily use, i still try flashing some rom to experience some other features. tho, at the end of the day, i end up using my rom that i am using daily. if you want the rom with alot of customization, have a good BB, and have miui camera, i suggest to use Ancient OS
Hi all together
@dahrel22: thanks for your tip, it seems like this is what i was looking for...
I think I'll test it out, I can't do more than break it
Have a nice Sunday, many greetings from here...

yes bro you better try it. im currently using the old build which is the miui verdor based. the new build comes with oss vendor but i think im not ready to flash it. i having trouble keeping my phone decrypted from oss vendor based roms. so i'll still be using the old build.
After the updates my Poco x3 NFC restarts in stand-by mode or when I'm using whatsapp, suddenly the screen goes to black..and then back to the homescreen... :/
Does anybody tried a custom rom? I would like to give a try.
Hello to everybody,
here 's my newest experience with "Miui-machine"...
I tried the tip from dahrel22 (see 4 posts above) und flashed Ancient OS 5.3 - I did everything according to the description, but in the end I had an encrypted partition on my phone....
Yesterday I had the great idea to cleam my device up und flash it again...
What can i say: it was a horrible trip
Like before I 've done everything as described - but it ends with a lot of issues like "no root" and "no system" directory, unable to mount system partion and so on and so on... This action cost me a lot of annoyance
(I tried this with two custom roms: Ancient OS 5.4 and Evolution X).
I was then able to revive the device using fastboot and the mi flashtool.
The Mi-Flashtool also ended with an error, but the system works - for whatever reason???
So at the moment I'm "driving" this damn Miui again and I'm really pissed off!
Maybe someone from you has a "smooth" idea to solve my problem??
Many greetings and thanks

im feel so sorry when i read your experience. maybe some confusion because 2 builds at the same version have different vendor based. both of them are comes with 5.3 but one comes with miui, one comes with oss. as i say i really have a hard time to keep my phone decrypted on oss when im using orange fox (now im in twrp but still no planning of flashing oss) if you flashed the old build, i mean the miui vendor based build, i think the outcome will be better.
what version of miui are you into right now?
edit: you know i feel bad for you as you need to do this "mi-flashtool" kind of stuff. next time, if you make mistake flashing something, i suggest just to flash miui rom again (miui eu will do) using recovery (i suggest twrp). i did that before many times and it never fails me.

Question Red Magic 6R China Rom got the Android 12 Update

Looks like the CN rom for the 6R finally got the Android 12 update. Who knows when the heck global is gonna get it. For the 6 and 6 pro the global rom didn't get android 12 until 9 months after the china rom lol. So I was wondering who wants to be the scapegoat and test it out for me? I can drop the link of the CN rom if you want. I specifically want to know how performance(most important) and optimization of the rom is with heavy games like Genshin etc.
Hello, just updated to CN Android 12 from global. But I cannot really state anything as I had just bought the device and went straight for the update. Although coming from global A11 I can definitely say that it contains loads of bloatware specific to CN and have many apps utilizing nubia services but again are specific to CN. In relation to gaming performance I found it not lacking at all since I'm coming from SD845. But will test Apex tonight and put in my findings. Also, the Nubia keyboard sucks. It as annoying as it can be because of weird CN shortcuts mapped and the keyboard is way too slow in response unlike Gboard.
Regards,

Hello, can i get the link for the CN Version from Android 12 for the red Magic 6r . I want to Test this Version and will give you a feedback. At the Moment , my red magic 6r is unusable for Gaming since i have installed the latest official global rom v1.24, beceause the Touch Delay was high and the Touch screen does not detect small movements. I had also sent the phone to the service but they did not soved the problem.

I have found the Website to Download the latest CN Firmware Update. Now the Touch screen bug is solved and i can use the phone for Gaming again . Also the Google playstore was further available
Google apps are not available in CN for obvious reasons and are required to be downloaded separately but is fairly easy.

I know, but before i installed the CN Rom, a global rom with Google apps was installed. After the Update, the playstore and Google Apps was further available in CN Rom . I had make a factory reset, After that, the Google Apps are lost.
Its also possible to use the CN Rom v6.10 to make a downgrade. Before i installed the CN rom, the global rom v1.24 was installed. I tried before to make a downgrade from v1.24 to v1.17 but it was not possible. But its possible to downgrade from CN Rom to global V1.17
Reason: the global v1.24 has massive Touchscreen Probleme (he does not detect small movements)
Sorry for my english

Yeah I tried the CN rom once on a previous update months ago and I also had those same issues. I didn't like how many Chinese crapware was installed without a way to remove them and I absolutely hated the keyboard. What is it called Sugoi keyboard or whatever. After a ton of fiddling around I was able to get it to be in a QWERTY layout but I just gave up on it and installed Gboard. I'm thinking of moving to CN again just for the android 12 update but only if it gives a decent performance boost. Hence why I made the thread. Looking forward to your finding on the performance though

Good to hear. Back when I tried the CN rom way back, I also factory reset which removed google apps(since CN doesn't use google stuff) but I just found an apk for the playstore and all the other google apps I needed and it worked no problem. Are you still on the CN Rom 6.10 or did you downgrade back to a global rom? Can you tell me the gaming performance on the CN Rom. I'm curious if the android 12 and all those other game space improvements they did boosted performance.

I think the Performance is the same like Android 11. The phone gets hot on Android 11 and also on CN Android 12. I Play pubg at 90fps. On global v 1.17 i get a light throttling After 60 minutes of Gaming . On CN V6.10 (Android 12) i had not played this Long time, beceause my Focus was at the touchscreen reaction. But i think the phone throttles also on CN Android 12, beceause the phone gets very hot during gaming and without a fan it will destroy itself. The Gaming Center looks a Little bit different, but i have not invested enough time. Sorry At the moment i‘m back on global v1.17, beceause in my opinion the touchscreen works best on this version.
I use this phone also only for gaming, like a Gameboy. To make calls or write messages, i use a other phone. So I can nothing to tell about the battery life on CN Android 12.

Tried Apex Legends on full settings and turned every feature on. The game went pretty smooth with no FPS drops at all. But I just played like 2 matches and the phone wasn't hot as well. The charger was connected with powermode set as "Rise" and "Charge Separation" enabled. Had fun btw. Also, there's this new mascot which wasn't there before and looks kinda annoying instead of intriguing. The phone sometimes locks itself just after I've unlocked it with Fingerprint and needs to be unlocked again. Also, I had to manually adjust all Google apps notification settings and some other apps too because they won't share any notifications on lock screen. Disabled all the CN gunk or uninstalled if available. Gamespace has lots of good features and I admire all of them, don't know if they were present in the Global rom. And finally strangely I'm not able to delete or copy files to the Android folder. Which wasn't an issue on any of my previous unrooted phones.
Anyone here tried to root there phones? Or unlock there bootloader? Thank you
