[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] paulobrien:
​

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Honor 5X KIW-L21!

READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.

About MoDaCo Custom ROMs

MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs. A MCR release is designed to feel like a stock Emotion UI ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.

This ROM is part of the 'Unified Honor ROM' project - ROMs with the same changes are available for all current Honor devices.

A MCR version with a more 'stock Android' like interface is under development.

Requirements

In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!

Features

Based on the B330 custom ROM starter template (you may use MCR as a base for your own ROM)

ROM fully optimised with the unique MCR scripts

Updated power management policies to reduce instances of 'missing notifications'

All apps in ROM updates to latest versions (a considerable saving of over 1GB on /data!)

Busybox installed

sepolicy patched boot image ready for root

selinux permissive

Removed 'icons' from /system/themes (themes no longer need to include default icons again)

MoDaCo Custom Kitchen (coming soon!)

Multi user support

Multi window support

Preloaded Stockify theme stub

Numerous other small refinements - please see the gitlab commits for full details

This ROM is completely in version control at gitlab! https://gitlab.com/u/paulobrien/projects

Thanks

It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.

Future Updates - READ THIS!

By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely.

And finally...

Enjoy!
