great the Indian 16s !

I didn't get it yet by OTA
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sanke1:
4G VoLTE problem seems to have been solved in Indian 16s. The phone is now capable of seamlessly switching between LTE bands. It is a must have firmware which partially improves FP sensor detection speed as well.

Hello,

for French users , I recommend the 16S rom India. In fact, I received my phone 1 month ago and soon the arrival GPS was not working and I often lose the network signal. I installed the latest ROM 16S for India ( total reset after installation) and everything works perfectly (GPS , WIFI and Mobile Network )
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] josselinb:

HI, i install the indian 15s rom on my le max 2, all in french. When i install the indian 16s rom all the settings menu turn back to english. Impossible to have the system in french. Do you face this issue ?

Thanks

Raphaël
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] raphimor:
This is quite normal because the ROM has no French translation
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] josselinb:
Hi,

If you want your applications in french you can do this :

Install Morelocale 2 to switch in other languages than English

If you want other language than English, you can download morelocale from play store.

To make it your without root :

switch into developper mode :

settings, about the phone, click severals time on build number

Install Adb drivers on your computer from there : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2317790

connect your phone in usb debug mode.

into the command line C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ send this adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

You will be able to change to you language.

But the system menu (réglages) will stay in english

Hello everyone! What is the difference between 16s China and 16s India?

Also, does Xposed work on any of them?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Antisound:
Differences are following:

Indian is "multilanguage" about 10-15 Languages to choose.

Indian is VoLTE able

Indian has GAPPS preinstalled

Chinese is more LeEco orientated...

Afaik Xposed works on both, assumed device is rooted..

If I install the newest Chinese or Indian ROM on my stock Chinese phone, do I lose all apps and data?

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Muscleduck:
Thanks for the links. I installed Indian S16 without any trouble on my Chinese X820. Took about 15 minutes and every app and setting was preserved.

I downloaded the ROM, moved to root directory, renamed to update.zip and rebooted I to recovery. Worked like a charm.

Glad i can help :D

Now im really curious with 23s, hahahaha
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wulfnuts:
I'm on x829 and it apparently has AWS bands

question is, if i flash the CN rom (23s ?) will it take away the bands and replace them with ones on the CN model ?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hawamahal:
Flashed the Indian ROM 19s. Good point is that the Finger Print scanner works 100% of the times, though a bit slow i.e. takes some time. My previous ROM LOS and Mokee had problems with Finger Print scanner. With this Indian ROM the problem I am having is with QC. Even after enabling QC I cannot get charging current of anymore than 1400 mA, whereas with the previous 2 ROM i was getting upto 4000 mA. Is there any trick to get the QC work or it does not work with the Indian ROM.

Another note on comments such as TWRP error while flashing. I used TWRP recovery and didn't have any problem. Just took a longer time for this ROM to flash as compared to LOS/Mokee ( the file size of official Indian ROM is more than double that of LOS/Mokee, probably as it includes Google Applications)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] trentbg:
I have the same question, are all the radios on x829 remain the same if we flash with the CN roms?

Hi,

awaiting a LEMAX2T Phone (X820) and like to use the german language and google playstore. I don't want to flash an unofficial rom that requires root for custom recovery, because I wan't to play Pokemon Go with that phone and this is not possible with a rootet phone. Does the shipped rom versions of the X820 support international languages like german, french etc. and google playstore preinstalled ?

regards,

Frank
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhmadSant:
It is depend from where you bought, for example, in "banggod website" they mentioned language that included in the phone vendor rom, you can see here
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhmadSant:
when will be 20s Indian ROM?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackerpower:
Why? Indian rom has the worst performance of all the roms available for our device.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhmadSant:
Okay but I don't want to have custom ROM, stock rom is more stable.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackerpower:
Then at least use chinese version.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Digital1one:
I'm using last Indian stock ROM and it is very stable (and it has Google Play preinstalled). I used cuoco custom ROM and mail notifications didn't work. I see other custom ROMs have little bit of issues, so they're not very stable like Indian one.

I prefer a stable ROM instead of a buggy one with better performance.

I would never suggest to use chinese stock because it's full of bloatware and Google Play is not preinstalled.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackerpower:
Indian rom still has lots of bugs not to mention that it's completely outdated in terms of os and security patches, I'm on nougat 7.1.2 with may 5th security patch.

Incompatibilities with certain apps don't have nothing to do with the rom being stable or not, don't mix things up.

But if debloating a little a rom and downloading the playstore app (in chinese eui that's the only thing you need to do to have working playstore) or flashing gapps is to hard for you or is too much work, maybe you should think what are you doing here on xda?

I think an iphone would suit you better.

You dont buy a 150k antutu score phone to use a rom that only gives you 100k, that's just dumb.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Digital1one:
Which bugs?

I never talked about incompatibilities. Mail notifications didn't work on cuoco custom rom, they work on Indian rom. So It's legit to me to think that Indian rom is more stable.

Ehm, I installed the cuoco rom before using my actual rom. It's not hard, I did it. Don't you think that if everything worked with it, I would not ever considered the Indian rom?

An android phone with a stable and working rom suits me better.

Well I just tried to use a custom rom and I don't buy a 150k antutu score to not receive the notification when someone emails me.

Yes, I could try another rom, but reading here I see that almost all custom roms have bugs.

And last, but not least, I subscribed a video service available in Italy (Premium Play) that works only when the rom is not rooted.

So, no, I don't buy a phone to not use a video service which I pay for the subscription, that's dumb.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ccheney:
Does even the stock rom work with that app? Stock 23s fails SafetyNet for me so keeps quite a bit from working.

I'm not completely sure but it looks like it might be failing due to widevine being buggy according to what I am seeing in logcat.

Bootloader is locked?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Digital1one:

It appears to automatically unlock the bootloader and critical even after I re-lock it, how does that happen?

I don't have TWRP on the phone atm, but it is 23s on a X829, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Also tried Magisk 12.0 to see if it would help and it didn't fix the CTS problem either according to its status page. Somehow Super Mario Run and Pokemon Go work anyway, maybe they don't check CTS anymore? But other things that check it like Android Pay do not work and can see that it is failing.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackerpower:
There are xposed mods and other ways to hide that you're rooted from other apps. But of course you don't know anything about that.

It's too much work for you to search xda/web and fix mail notifications, you're too lazy. BTW I always received every single mail notification in every rom I've tried so I'm guessing the problem is the app you use or most likely the user, let me guess you use gmail?

And please don't mix up a rom being stable with having bugs or with having incompatibilities with other apps, those are 3 completely different things.

The only thing that doesn't work in the rom i use now is Volte and i don't use it or have it in my current carrier so, i don't care.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Digital1one:
Cuoco rom had magisk for hiding root. Premium Play didn't work yet.

I searched everything. Auto launched and protected every mail app I used, disabled also the background resources control from the hidden menu. Mail notifications still didn't work.

I used Gmail, but I tried to use also other clients, the result was the same.

Got fed up with battery whichever rom I used. Ditched and got a lenovo p2. Battery last 2 days. I get 14 hours sot with it. Even though its only an sd 625 it should be no where as good but every day tasks are faster. Probably because rom is better optomised. And it has nougat already. Best move I have made.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] birdie:
Yeah, I'm also on the verge of ditching this "wonderful" smartphone due to a whole lot of software and innate hardware issues. It can be thought as a beta/precursor of/for LeEco Le Pro 3.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kanagawaben:
Dude, why are you getting so stressed about the guy preferring the Indian stock ROM? Each to their own. I have actually gone back to it myself at the moment. Losing some Antutu score is utterly irrelevant. Everyday performance is not significantly different, Geekbench score also is not significantly different. Chinese stock or modded Chinese stock has notification issues, not only mail (I don't get Line notifications either). You can mostly find fixes or workarounds, but it's nice if they just work out of the box as they seem to in the Indian ROM. Some people have to use Gmail. I need it because my work email is gsuite/Google apps for work, which only works with Gmail or Inbox or Chrome. Custom ROMs such as Lineage are also not for everyone. Some people prefer look of eui. Some people care about camera, and in my experience stock camera performance is always better. Battery life is also better in stock. I think sound is better too. Also it seems to be getting harder to hide root and unlock from certain apps due to the safety net thing. Netflix is the current problem app for our device, for example.

Anyway, all I'm saying is use whatever ROM suits your needs, and don't bash others if their needs and their choice is different to yours. XDA is a good resource for all of us, whatever ROM and setup we are trying to achieve.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moon75:
Most roms Stock launcher (Launcher 3) notification do not work for me. Nova launcher seems to fix it if you want notification, SMS, LINE, work fine with Nova. Its 2K screen but battery is fine it charge up quick maybe Madmax have good battery life. I am on Tora33 stock rom at the moment, keep TWRP backup of Madmax rom.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shredman:
does anyone unlock his le Max 2 screen with tasker & secure settings app ? I installed the latest stock rom 5.9.023S but tasker will not unlock my lockscreen. tried it with keyguard , delet PIN/PASS but I have to type in the passwort every time I switch on the phone due to a bad fingerprint sensor. This damn fingerprint sensor works only for 8 hours after unboxing but this is another story.

Is it not possible to unlock the screen with tasker and secure settings on stock rom without root access ? cannot believe this.

regards,

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kanagawaben:
I decided to try running completely stock Chinese 23S, without rooting. Previously I have always used either the Indian stock, modded versions of Chinese stock (Cuoco, Small etc), or custom ROMs. The Chinese stock experience seems better than I expected. Some bloat could be uninstalled, some could be disabled with the Phone Manager's app warehouse function. The only things left that are completely useless to me are the LeEco TV things, LeStore, Sim Toolkit, Feedback and User Manual. I have dumped them in a folder and ignore them. I can live with that. Was easy to install the Play Store apk from APK Mirror. Have turned of notifications for all but my key apps so don't see any Chinese notifications. The only problem I have is the well known issue of gmail not syncing automatically. A pain, but I can get by with manually checking.

One question. How can I relock the bootloader? As I am running stock without root or custom recovery, I may as well lock it up again.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kanagawaben:
Exactly same problem. Unable to lock bootloader, it just unlocks again when you reboot.

Hello, someone has the link to official 5.9.26s firmware? Because I've received the OTA update, but I'm on TWRP, so I have to manually flash the update.

Thanks.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultratt:
I'm on 23s and check there is no new update (26s). Anyone know why?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bygepp:
At this point, I think that the update has not been released for all devices, and this can explain why the official firmware is not available on BBS Le Forum.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] icerebro:
I was on 23s. Now I received the advice of 26s after it downloads boot and nothing happens, says error.

I was in TWRP, so I flashed stock recovery, I am with root, is that a problem?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bygepp:
Yes, if you are rooted, you need to download the official firmware and then flash it via TWRP or also Stock Recovery (better this option).

Updating with the update manager it's not successful.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] icerebro:
What about unrooting? Is possible to update, I want to do it by the update icon, not flashing by TWRP.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bygepp:
If you wait for the release of the official firmware, and then flash it with the stock recovery, it's the same thing that updating with the update icon, the only difference is that with root updating with the icon doesn't work (maybe there is some security check).

I think that if you unroot your device, you can update with the icon, but I'm not sure, I've always updated downloading the firmware manually and flashing via stock recovery (just rename the firmware in update.zip and then choose the update option in stock recovery).
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackerpower:
You have to have stock recovery and be unrooted to successfully apply the ota update.

Using twrp you need full rom zip.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MetGala:
Hi, I just got the LeEco Le Max 2 X829 running EUI 5.8.0.16S and finally getting used to the lingo of the versions etc. I have TWRP on it and have it rooted. Just a question, is 16S for X829 an international/NA ROM or is it an Indian rom? I see people saying they get 100,000 on Antutu(with Indian ROM), but my lowest out of the box was 122k and after optimization(removing some bloatware) I was able to get 142,000. Thank you.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bygepp:
Pay attention on flashing Chinese ROMs through TWRP, yesterday I tried to flash the 23s version (because I was trying to clean the system for doing the OTA update), but flashing stopped at: "Patching system image unconditionally".

I had to force reboot, but after reboot the phone was not able to start anymore, so I had to flash another ROM (LineageOS) to get my phone working again.

Which twrp do you have? latest official?

When flashing stock eui through twrp sometimes you get errors and you need to flash it again in order to properly flash. How many times did you try to flash it and it got stuck?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yurtesen:
It is entirely possible that something went wrong. Maybe the processor throttled because it was too hot or something. It is a possibility. But they had also too much irrelevant things and most apps seem to have wanted to read my contacts (I found that annoying). The chinese rom 1.8GB, lineageos 500mb... I now have android 7.1 with nice and clean system. Everything seems to work good so far, but I am not using the phone as my primary phone yet so I may have missed something.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bygepp:
Yes, I have the latest official TWRP, I tried 3 times to flash EUI 5.9.23s, but always flashing got stuck in the starting part, at: "Patching system image unconditionally"

The third time I waited for 40 minutes, but nothing, progress bar empty and stuck with that write.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackerpower:
Strange...I remember that whenever i got stuck in twrp flashing something it was because the system partition wasn't mounted, try to go to mount and mount system before flashing.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] razmth:
What do you recommend, then?

I personally think that getting out of the Shop ROM then going to Stock ROMs (with a lot of bloatware) doesn't worth the pain except for the possible damages the former may cause. With a lot of Custom ROMs, I don't see any reason to stay with Shop/Stock even for those who want the original interface.

Anyway, I'd like to know if the procedure of flashing Stock ROMs is the same for Custom ones, if there are other ways to do it, especially after your comment. I'd like to share this information with some colleagues. ;)

Hi, good night everyone.

Have been 4 days with my Le Max 2 (X829) , everything was great until last night when the fingerprint scanner died (calibrated, factory reset neither are working).

Some say its HW, some say its SW.

I want to ask you ppl.

If I flash Chinese 23s or Indian 19s will it get to work?

Or maybe try custom ROMs?

Actually came with 16S rom
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] razmth:
That's impossible to answer. There are some possibilities:

- software issue

- hardware issue

- software issue that damaged the hardware

This is why people recommend to get rid of the shop ROM, ASAP.

What you can do now:

- ask for a refund, partial or not

- ask for return

- live with that

- sell the defected phone

- try changing the ROM, stock or custom is up to you
