Ok, I have installed CM 12.1 and flashed through recovery nano gapps. After flashing gapps phone shut down and when I rebooted it through recovery it booted in Chinese. :p:confused::cowboy:

I need help, i.e. I need someone who has CM 12.1 on this phone to navigate me to change system language to English. :D

EDIT:

Changed it to English. Luckily, option for changing language had the same position as M2 note with Flyme 5 I had it available. :)

These are best firmwares so far in my opinion

But first you need to install custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), there is a thread on XDA, but don't root phone using this method - many people (incl. me ) lost touch after rooting phone by chinese app (touch control can be restoreb via installing CM12.1 or replace boot.img from B17 through ADB)
[Device Reviews and Information] Ab20000:
I do hope they update to cm13
[Device Reviews and Information] lukecz81:
Me too, but CM12.1 is also ok.

My biggest problem is that internal memory is divided and there is low space for data.

In my other chinese phones there is option like this:

I wonder if there is apossibility to add this option to our CM12.1?
[Device Reviews and Information] Ab20000:
For Phones having this soc .Xiaomi is offering miui built on Android 6 for mi note. I'm waiting for lenovo zuk to get cm 13. After that maybe we can get a chance to see cm 13 on this phone.

It looks that I don't name correctly the broken part :) it's some sort of cover only?

I assume that parts which I've found on Ali, aren't parts that I need...

Do you know where I can buy this cover, or maybe it is compatible part from other phones?

Did you chcange camera in this phone and know if it;s true Sony camera? (can't find camera part in online shops for this phone

CM by alexeii is better.
[Device Reviews and Information] trol_sg:
According to no multilanguage support from CM sources and none reported bugs on the multilang CM rom I would say that alexeii rom is not better, its worse for having less language supports.

If you had any problem with the multi ROM just say it.
[Device Reviews and Information] TomaszPL123:
Language is a problem in the XXI century? ;)

CM by alexeii is stable and faster. In another CM Camera doesnt works.

Well, cm multi translation added using cm package is enough as I said. I dont have any complains. I think multilang rom is better, its exactly as the base rom but with more languages, I said. Re-read my post.

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

Then you can tell this, instead of...this rom is better.

Anyway, I dont remember which camera I am using on the rom, but I had the same problems with the radio fm on alexeei rom. Ive fixed it....but I dont know how, maybe changing root access...or other thing I forgot.

I will try to remember.

[Device Reviews and Information] duckslivelong:
Two year update with this phone :)

Physically:

Dropped it in my friend's swimming pool, it was submerged for a 1-2 minutes, luckily this phone has a removable battery so I took it out before it short circuited. I left it in rice for 3 days and it worked :)

There are scuffs on the back cover on the phone (which can be replaced)

Some scuffs on the edges but it isn't a big deal to me

Currently I'm using a light plastic case with a glass screen protector and it has stood up against most accidental drops

Also, the phone short circuited by itself and I had to send the phone to China for repairs. I bought it from Merimobiles and they had warranty coverage over it.

ROM:

First few months I owned it, I was using the stock rom with gapps. I didn't like the chinese bloatware so I flashed slick rom. Stuck to that for a while till lolipop update came out and I updated to that.

Had a lot of problems between switching roms, wifi not turning on, phone keeps restarting, recovery not working etc.

As soon as CM 12.1 came out, I upgraded immediately and all my problems have been fixed. CM is probably the best rom I have used with this phone.

Conclusion:

I will definatley be buying a Chinese phone next time. When I bought it, I paid $350 off contract, it had LTE and the Snapdragon 801 (which the galaxy S5 had the exact same specs for $600). I have saved SO much money with this phone since I'm not stuck in a 3 year contract like all of my other friends.
[Device Reviews and Information] EdgeTheraited:
Hi you say that its has CM12.1 update is it cool and what do you think of the phone im gonna soon buy it
[Device Reviews and Information] duckslivelong:
I would only suggest you to buy this phone If you know how to flash ROMs. If you don't have much expirence with flashing ROMs then I wouldn't do it and I would just go with a xiaomi (with gapps). The stock ROM is Chinese and it doesn't come with gapps. CM 12.1 is currently the best ROM for this phone right now. There is so much functionality and everything works. You can also customize it a lot.

If you know how to flash ROMs then I would recommend this 100%. It's such a great value considering you're getting the snapdragon 801 and LTE coverage. The quality of parts are also very good.

When repo sync is done updated versions of files are also downloaded , why can't it upgrades the Android version of a project?
[Device Reviews and Information] alexeei:
Because if it was so easy we have hundreds cm13 versions by many users ;) This device not officially supported, so it need to make different changes in source code for make it works and this changes was made by chinese developers in source cm12.1. And i try in december 2015 make new cm12.1 based on synced repo, with integrated changes of source code and as result had not working gps and some strange reboots and it was simply updated cm12.1, not full different cm13.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ab20000:
So you mean that even Android security patches can't be applied to the ROM? This is not good..... ?
