I tried. But it just stays on ChromeOS Google boot animation screen. Now I'm trying to boot FlintOS but no luck either.

I got the MIUI version. But installing Bliss is difficult and it will be buggy.

If You followed the guide, it would work. But You have to remember that You're supposed to do a live boot. Not install the OS. That would be complicated and I haven't even tried it.

Update! Bliss OS Pie just came out, and guess what! It boots on our Mi Pad 2 tablet! :D

I also updated guide in the main post so that it's compatible with latest Bliss OS.

Download:

BlissOS 11.x Pie

Bugs that I found:

Sound doesn't work.

Everything is pretty laggy (Probably due to huge internal crashing)

Brightness slider doesn't work.

Touch and WiFi work fine though.

Check attachments for some screenshots.

Also, keep in mind that this rom is obviously not intended to be used as a daily driver because sound and brightness doesn't work. And it's not Your usual TWRP flashable rom. This rom is only supposed to show You that booting Pie on Mi Pad 2 is possible. You can have fun with it, and mess with it, but You won't be able to use it as a daily driver. By making this guide, I'm trying to push some new life into our old tablet, if You have some free time and You're bored, You can try this rom and see how it runs on Your old tablet. But that's it.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] joaocandeias:
Did you try full install, or only live mode?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Only live mode. Installing won't fix bugs. So it's not worth it.

LOS13 with Android 6.1 works quite well on my MiPad 2. Camera does not work, which is unimportant for me. It is clean and lean and much better than MIUI 9.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Anyone tried android 10?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] :
who still use that ultra laggy unusable MIUI severely bloated as main OS tell me below
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] Palm Trees:
Running a modified version of the latest stock firmware (9.6.2.0.) by LVWare. Did some more debloating on my own. It's not that laggy and works fine. Would like to compile Android N (based on new blobs from other devices) for this tablet, but unfortunately I don't have time to do it.

Are you looking to do some development for the Pad 2?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Not （yet）have enough knowledge but maybe a direct jump to Android 11 rom be better?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] Palm Trees:
Not sure how you would achieve that, unless installing the Bliss OS rom and help them debug the Mi Pad 2? Stable Android 11 would obviously be better, if it's possible at all. If you want to stay on the kernel version most Cherry Trail tablets ship with, I don't think 11 is possible. That's why I said Android N. We can use the blobs from other devices and compile the rom and hopefully boot it.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] :
umm I have not compiled my first rom yet, so updating kernel might be A bit challenging
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] Palm Trees:
Alright. What's your plan then?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] :
what is the recent kernel?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] Palm Trees:
For the available Android Cherry Trail kernel sources it is 3.14.79.

Then you have Bliss OS and other projects based on new versions of the kernel 5.x. if I remember correctly.

Well we might can still force porting as S2 have android 11 on top of 3.0.101

Hi guys i'm noob on this themes and my english is kinda poor.

i was thinking in order to install fydeos (which is chromium os fork with android apk support) for x86 systems, like other person in this thread said, first installing windows 10, via usb, using a otg dock with keyboard and mouse, you know format the storage disk, and then install any other OS. Would be there any problem with this? or i will just screw up my Mi Pad 2? Does it make sense? It does for me hehe

i have to say that i prefer any other functional OS than MIUI with android 5.1, it's getting older and i think Mi Pad 2 has longer life than that, if older intel atom netbooks can handle Android X86, Elementary OS, Ubuntu, even RemixOs and Phoenix OS, why cannot be possible?

just wondering, at the end is the same hardware as much of the mini notebooks out there.

regards!!

You can install android x86 .iso by using the same procedure as installing Windows 10.

Has anyone tried any working OSes on the MiPad2? I tried a lot of different Linux distros but the touchscreen support is super buggy. Touchscreen works but after a little while, it stops working. To me, I find the tablet is best to run Win10. Camera, touchscreen, sound, wifi they all work fine.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tprfd:
Hi All,

I just got an A2017G from an online retailer based out of China (I am in Canada). The phone is on an old firmware version A2017Gv1.0.0B11. I cannot see any OTA updates but I know that Nougat has been released for this phone. I can see that there are no updates on the ZTE site for the Hong Kong region and it's stock version is B11 so I assume this is from Hong Kong, but I really have no idea on how to check.

I would like to know if I can tell which region this phone is from and which version of Nougat I should be able to download and flash from B11.

I can see a list of them (for example b04 for Australia, B06 for Turkey, B08 for Germany) here

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/download-center-factory-images-ota-t3606547

Does it matter which one I choose?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cj7hawk:
I think the difference is mainly in things like the Wifi frequency, but I could be wrong. I never found a good clarification of this topic either...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
B11 is a pretty new MM ROM and also I think a rollback ROM to regress from Nougat. Mine came with older than B10, I flashed B10 MM then B04 N

German B08 is newer and maybe supports VoLTE if that's of use with your carrier.

Pretty sure the main thing is the ROM was for the same model phone. Don't use an A2017U or A2017 ROM on an A2017G. When it's started first time (or reset) you choose language so as long as locale is correct it should work but it needs to have correct telephony bands to access local celular networks. With location set it should run on the correct wifi channels.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tprfd:
B06 did the trick. Just used sd card update method.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Are you sure it is an A2017G? What does it say etched on the back? Do you have signal after updating?

Just some questions worth doing
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tprfd:
A2017g etched on back. B11 version said "a2017g" in the full text. I am sure it is the g version.

I have LTE, 3g and Wi-Fi working post update to nougat b06.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Yeah, the point is that Aliexpress vendors buy A2017's, install A2017G software on them with a special process, and add a paper on the box saying that you won't get OTA's and it's actually not a G, but it seems to be in Chinese.

If that was the case, the software would have said A2017G but the phone, A2017. Just wanted to make sure
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tprfd:
Yeah I understand. The phone was from Gearbest. I wouldn't get LTE if it were the A2017 so I would have known right away. Not that I trust Gearbest more than Aliexpress (I haven't ever had a problem with either with about 4 or 5 purchases on both), but this one seems legit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] FunkyRasta:
Great to hear that, I'm waiting for mine (gray one) to arrive from gearbest! You probably would get LTE in A2017 , where do you live ? But if G is etched then you can be happy, and me too. Could please tell me if they included case and tempered glass in the box ? Headphones ? Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tprfd:
Case yes, headphones yes, glass no.

Only band 4 towers around me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
They say the glass is crap anyways
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] FunkyRasta:
And no pre applied screen protector or regular film screen protector in the box ? I thought they had one. Good to hear it is definitely a2017G ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
actually I think only A2017's come with it, and i think the Aliexpress sellers put it there.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tprfd:
Nothing pre applied. I've double checked the box and no screen protector. I think the gearbest site says it comes with one so just be aware it doesn't. I have never used a screen protector on my phones and have never had an issue. Also mine came with Euro plug by ZTE with a cheap adapter in the mail bag, so another confirmation it is the a2017g. It was a good deal for $300CAD. I am really happy with the phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alluis:
I am waiting to receive one from GearBest. I think it will not come with Portuguese language. Could you please confirm if Portuguese language is supported on the original ROM, or on the B06 upgrade?

Thanks,

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Yes, it is supported on the A2017G, but not on the U, and no idea on the A2017
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alluis:
It is a A2017G., but GearBest has answered that Portuguese is not supported.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Well my A2017G has Portuguese (both br and pt) and you would be able to add them if you were going to unlock the bootloader and flash stuff anyways

[Amazfit] xxcerv:
If I remeber well before I upgraded firmware to 1.3.4f there was at least current time on the display when an activity was paused.

It were a little numbers on top, above the text "Motion Paused". Now with the new firmware it's gone.

I often track my days over several days and it's paused often and I don't know what's the time.

What are these watches for when it doesn't show current time all the time ?

With the new Auto-pause function I don't need to see large text that motion is paused, I need to know what time is it. Does it make a sense to take whole screen by Motion Paused text and don't show current time ?

Any idea how to get this back without firmware downgrade ?

Thanks
[Amazfit] mkeles84:
After waiting nearly 10 seconds, I mean when screen lock works, you can see time and battery time on top little green area.
[Amazfit] xxcerv:
No, this is how it works when the activitiy runs, but when it's paused I only can see how long it's paused plus text "Motion Paused".

I just tried once more and after 5 mins I really can see only running paused time with that text. No curent time. If I enable the watches, I only can resume (or stop) activity to see the current time...

Actually in general when an activity is running it blocks all other functions
[Amazfit] lfom:
Quick and dirty workaround: install a launcher (I am using free Quick Launcher), open launcher then tap the builtin Launcher (with the Windows logo), it will show the watch face. To go back swipe from left and open the same activity (it should show trailing "..." meaning that it's going on).

A better solution would be installing this wear app, then add your city and remove all default ones, it will show your local time when you open it from your custom launcher:

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredskies:
Hey all,

I was messing around with my memopad ME176CX and I inadvertently unlocked the bootloader and erased the entire android OS on it. Now every time I turn it on it goes to a black screen with "NORMAL BOOT" in green letters.

I want to install LineageOS 14.1 on it, and I have the zip file (I renamed it lineage.zip) on an sdcard. I went to this page: wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/install#installing-lineageos-from-recovery and tried to follow the instructions there, but I got kind of lost and the commands I tried to use with my command prompt on my PC (using windows 8) don't seem to work. Now I can't even get windows to recognize the tablet when I hook it up to my PC via a USB connector cable. When I type in "fastboot devices" in the command prompt it recognizes it there, though. Can someone please explain, in simple terms, how to install lineage on the tablet even though I unlocked bootloader and erased the android OS that was on it? I don't know how to flash, and have never done it before.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambdadroid:
Okay, good news: "NORMAL BOOT" is displayed in the Fastboot menu, which means your tablet isn't completely messed up. :) I assume you made a mistake when attempting to unlock the bootloader, because otherwise the tablet should still boot properly. Not a big deal though, in almost all cases it's possible to restore the system on this tablet.

Now, assuming you want to install LineageOS 14.1, the first step would be to check if you have successfully unlocked the bootloader: When you power on the tablet, does it go directly to the Fastboot menu (with "NORMAL BOOT") or does it show an INTEL logo first? If the INTEL logo is not shown, you are still using the old bootloader. If that is the case, you can attempt to unlock it from Fastboot (if you see the INTEL logo, just skip this step):

Switch to the unpacked folder of the files downloaded from https://xdaforums.com/memo-pad-7/general/asus-me176c-cx-unlock-bootloader-t3315603 and run:

fastboot flash ESP ESP.img

In the Fastboot menu, you can navigate with the volume buttons. Navigate to "Power off" and then press the Power button to select it. When you turn the tablet back on, you should see the INTEL logo now.

Now, go back to the Fastboot menu. If it no longer appears directly after boot, power off the tablet, and press Volume Down + Power. When it asks you whether you want to go to "Fastboot" or "Recovery" press Volume Up to go to the Fastboot menu.

Now you still need to flash the new recovery partition. Download the "Recommended TWRP recovery build" from the download section in https://xdaforums.com/memo-pad-7/orig-development/rom-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-asus-memo-t3633341. Switch to the folder where you have downloaded it, and run:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-3.1.1-20170918-UNOFFICIAL-me176c.img

When you have done that, you need to boot into recovery mode. It's good to remember this part since you will need it whenever you install an update for LineageOS. Just like before, power off the tablet and press Volume Down + Power. However, when it asks you whether you want to go to "Fastboot" and "Recovery" press Volume Down to go to the Recovery menu.

From there you can now flash the ROM. However, before I explain that further, let me know if you were able to follow up to this point. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! :)
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredskies:
Thank you very much for replying. The Intel logo does not show up - instead, it says "powered by android".

I'm sorry, I know this is a stupid question, but how do I go into the unpacked folder of the files? Do I type "cd (folder name)"? Or is there an "adb" command I need to type?

EDIT: ok, I did the "cd" thing and went into the folder with ESP.img, and I tried to flash it, and it said the send was ok, but when it tried to write it said "FAILED <remote: flash_cmds error!>"
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambdadroid:
Edit: Make sure you type the command exactly like I posted above. ESP must be upper case.

That's weird. Could you make a photo of the screen with "NORMAL BOOT"? Just to be sure we are actually talking about the same screen.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredskies:
I can't, my camera's broken :(

But I just went and did the ESP thing again, and used upper case for ESP, and it worked!
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambdadroid:
Don't worry, I don't need the picture if everything is working fine. Let me know when you reach the recovery screen and/or need further help.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredskies:
Hmm, I seem to have run into a problem here. My tablet is blinking on and off, and when it comes on, it just shows a blank screen. I got the Intel logo a couple times, and it showed that the battery was recharging (the battery is dead right now, and I have it hooked up to my PC via a cable). Should I wait for the battery to recharge?
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambdadroid:
If you actually see the battery logo, then hell, yes!. When I started working on LineageOS (before charging was working), I managed to drain the battery to zero, without a working system to charge the battery. Flashing the original system failed before it powered itself off because I was able to flash the new partitions. My tablet was broken for almost 3 weeks. I had to write a custom bootloader that replaces a partition as early as possible to fix it... Lesson learned: Make sure your battery is charged before you begin to flash something.

If it stays in the battery screen you can let it charge for a while, ideally with the ASUS A/C adapter so you don't wait for forever.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredskies:
Thanks, I'll let it recharge then try to resume from there.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimmyP:
I drained the battery the same. If you pull off the back cover, disconnect the power from the tablet (push in connector from the battery, cant miss it), wait a couple seconds, push the connector back and connect usb from wall. If you time it just right you can get out of any complete drain AFAIK.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambdadroid:
Correct, that's what I did. It would have worked, but my boot partition didn't support charging back then (it was a very early version of my LineageOS ROM), so I didn't even reach the battery screen. The tablet wasn't able to charge.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredskies:
Hey, I seem to have run into a problem. I can't get into fastboot anymore, it just shows either the Intel screen, or the charging screen (it's up to 100% now). What am I doing wrong?
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambdadroid:
Make sure the USB cable is disconnected when you power on the tablet. You can still connect it when you see the Fastboot screen. Also make sure to start pressing Volume Down before you press the Power button.
