Updating my review on Validus. At the beginning of this rom , I was a bit hesitant , really with any 8.0 rom . After seeing reviews from other users on ROMs like Aicp and lineage I was sure I was never going to upgrade . I used Omni for a about 2 weeks which I was very satisfied with until I started experiencing alot of bugs , random shut downs , over heating and even camera issues . Now most of these could've been related to the kernel but I ignored it . I discovered Validus by a few members who linked it to me on the forums and trust me ... I hated it at the beginning . The phone felt very hot , Charging speeds seemed to be slow , I wasn't satisfied with the speakers and overall I just thought it was a horrible rom .Following up , I was tired of switching ROMs and I decided I would test it for a few days , I flashed Dolby sound mod , rooted and installed greenify . From here on is when i was really impressed. I left it on overnight , picked it up and the next day and realized my battery was draining extremely slow , I thought this was odd and eventually thought i would get this spike in battery life . I was wrong . By 50%, I had achieved 3 hr and 57 mins of sot and by 15% , 7 hours and 30 mins . A few hours later , I started messing around in settings , seeing what this rom had to offer . My favorite has had to be the themes changer . I loved having the ability to change the colors of my notification pull down / notifications .Concluding , If you are on nougat , I would highly recommend you to try an Oreo rom. Features like Picture in picture mode just really brings everything together , one of the most underrated features out there . Haven't you ever been watching YouTube and someone tries to start a conversation ? Picture in picture saves the day ! You can do both! The redesigned settings menu , the notifications . These small little features make it worth the switch .

*If you guys haven't noticed , I've been trying to review ROMs*

I'm a 15 year old writer who loves to write / review anything , it's good practice for me

It's Validus, and with respect to the developers, I love Lineage too, but I enjoy having some variety at the ROM buffet, innovation is good for us all.

For me the best sounding Oreo ROM, right now is the most recent version of AOSIP. March 13 version.

I know you love sound quality. It doesn't even need Dolby.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] User NiNaNo:
use AICP rom that includes blackscreen kernel after you root and setting the kernel you will get (6~7hr sot; 50%screen brightness) close as the EUI. The reason EUI have long time battery is it kills the all apps so can't even get the alert or the notifications. But in AICP all notification is alive and came immediately.

Man! I gonna Try this Rom. Right now i am on Omni Rom and Already tried AICP, Lineage, both Oreo and I feel are a little bit Laggy.... just gonna try this and comeback to review!!

You won't be disappointed
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tomgar:
In my opinion it's true that Oreo ROMs get better battery but for me are a little slow.Paranoid is the ROM fastest with much difference.

Simply,this phone with Oreo ROM is a normal phone,with paranoid is a Nexus.

When paranoid be update it will be a excellent news.

Well, since last night I am using Validus GZR and everything works fine. Sound its a lot better than my old Omni Nougat (I already flashed Dolby) Camera Gcam Mod works fine. Rom its smooth and No one problem till now. I do a clean flash. I've have not tried BT, NFC yet.

The rom its smoot and do not laggy. I'll keep for a while, let see battery lasting and the next days!

Thank!

How did you manage to make Dolby Atmos work on Oreo?

I installed on Validus, Mokee, AOSiP (always in TWRP) and either I end up in a bootloop or it doesn't work (I play music with Dolby on and no sound change at all).

I tried with and without the Android Modification Library module on Magisk
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kris597:
I had to clear data for it to work , this seems to be the only one that's working

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657581615
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] horvman:
Yes. This is the one I was trying to make it work and it did not change the sound (tested with music players and Youtube), like when in PA.

Did you flash it when you were installing the rom, like: ROM + GAPPS + Magisk + Dolby?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
It works %100 and changes the sound very well in Oreo Validus. (I am using Dynamic mode in Dolby settings, you need to turn Dolby on aswell after clicking Dolby Atmos app. Do a clean install and try again.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kris597:
I didn't flash if when it when I was installing the rom
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kris597:
[MENTION=8921031]horvman[/MENTION]

Try formatting and then reinstalling , make sure you flash magisk and then the sound mod
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
I dont have problem with dolby. I think you have quoted the wrong person :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kris597:
I'm sorry !
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Ramg77:
I installed: Validus Rom + Gapps + Magisk 16 then I started the Rom for the first time and I configured the phone and installed the gcam apk, then I restarted and installed Doby Atmos mod from TWRP. When I started the phone it stayed in the boot animation so I restarted it again (press power botton until it restarts) and once this was done everything worked perfectly :laugh:.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] horvman:
Lucky me. Now I flashed Dolby Atmos and now it works because the sound was different when I was switching between Dynamic and Movie, Dynamic and Music and viceversa: tested with BT (thank you Oreo for APT-X support) and CDLA headphones

What I did, from the start

Flashed ROM + GAPPS + Magisk + Ainur Sauron

Installed Magisk Manager + GCAM (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6)

Installed AML module from Magisk

Uninstalled Ainur Sauron and rebooted

Booted to TWRP and flashed Dolby Atmos

Test with music

Success

Thank you for your recommendating Validus

BTW, I installed along with Greenify the Enable doze for GMS module. And yes, so far the difference between Paranoid Android and Validus about battery life is huge.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Here you can find some other battery tweaks as well.(if you are into battery like me! :D )

Validus also uses Blackscreen kernel :good:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74363632&postcount=2
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kris597:
This kernel is not compatible with Validus .. I am now in a bootloop .
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
Validus already comes with Balckscreen kernel. Is not necessary flash it over... Anyway with grenify and Doze GSM modules on Magisk in my first 100% charge, remaining 44% with 3:57hrs SOT.... Mainly watchin Twitch videos (on chrome) ..
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kris597:
So Aicp kernel and black screen are the same kernel ?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
I didnt tell you to flash the kernel once more. It was just for battery tweaks. Validus already comes with blackscreen but slightly modified. Thats why you went to bootloop.

You can flash the boot.img from validus rom (extract it from validus zip and flash in twrp, choose install/ flash image and pick boot.img and then boot)

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Aicp and validus come with blackscreen kernel. So technically it is true what you said. Aicp, blackscreen and kernel in validus are same kernels, validus has maybe litttle modified
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
I dont think so. I think some developers chose pre-instal a Custom Kernell to get better results. In this case just No re instal any kernel and From Gplay install kernel Adiutor and in CPU setting choose "Alucard". Validus came with "Bioshock"... Its almost the same. Its for very good battery save.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
That is the black screen kernel most of ROMs use his kernel.

Just check setting and see the maker of kernel.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Ramg77:
I finely reinstalled everything but using opengapps due to the multiple problems I had with mindthegapps, now everything works perfect.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Did u flash latest opengapps from their official website?

Hey, I have installed 2018/02/11 RC so, this stable version 2018/03/09 work fine? Mine work very good but I want to be Update!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Ramg77:
In my case I can say that it is very stable, the only problem I had to solve was the loss of the root after one of the first restarts of the phone, I flashed it again from TWRP and solved the problem.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
Thanks.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
A Doubt.

With Validus Oreo 8.1 RC 20180211 i got 132K in Antutu. On Stock MM 6.0 I got 155K+... In Nougat 7.1.2 Omni Rom 165K... So, Get better in Validus newer release?

Thanks.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Are these results without touching the kernel, right? You did these tests with the default cpu/gpu speeds (How the Validus comes after first boot) ?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Ramg77:
Yes, without touching nothing only with Validus+opengapps+magisk 16+Dolby atmos Mod
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
Hey, in the last build i had a little troubles to flash Dolby but finally got it... For now this update has better battery, and i am not using any mod (Grenify or something like that) but I even testing.

In the 11/02 build the sound was better (Better bass and loud IMO). Anyway, best Rom so far!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dadaa1:
Thank you all for this rom and advice howto make it work. Looking pretty good at the moment. Best oreo yet
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] horvman:
When you were using the 11/02 build, how was the sound during phonecalls (with and without using speakerphone)?

The stable build is a bit quiet and I cannot change volume.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
I am on 09/03/2018 and everything go ok. Without Dolby and the sound its pretty good, not as good as Stock but definitely better than Nougat and some Oreos roms.

I didn't flash Dolby because sometimes make bootloop or break Some magisk modules... Grenify for example... Even though, sonud its very good
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] horvman:
I was talking about making phone calls because they sound low (but not distorted) and the volume is already locked at maximum.

About Greenify I sort of agree, at least in Oreo. Since the last update, it broke the ability to install apps: tried with gcam and random apps from playstore, but every app crashed when started.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
Yes, volume in call its a little bit low but not too much. With Dolby get better. About the Gcam I am using Arnova V6 and work flawless. If you have issues with Gcam mod, try flashing Open Gapps, some Gapps have conflicts with Gcam Mod (Beam Gapps in Nougat, for example)...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
with latest Validus and dolby, on system start, I am getting sometimes system crash or google play service crash. Have you got any issues like that? Which dolby are you on?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Ramg77:
I had constant problems until I reinstalled the rom but with opengapps, when they upload the new Validus I'm going to use the groundZero's own gapps.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
I back to First RC, the stable version have some issues, and Dolby cause conflicts.

For me

Stable Version 03/09 has better battery but has some bugs

RC 02/11 its most stable and everything works fine.

In all cases, Dolby may cause Fc or bootloop and there is not a "formula" to flashing and that work fine... Sometimes its work, sometimes Not, sometimes break something, sometimes cause FC or Bootloop... So better wait for a functional version....:rolleyes:
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
Because your using wrong Dolby.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
I used [Mod][AE][GH]DolbyAtmos_Axon7_Oreo_20180207-fixed-Viper's_prepared

Please, which its the correct one? Link please.... I could try another, I like Dolby because the sound get better a lot!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
I am using exaclty the same dolby and yes it has conflicts with latest Validus. But I am on latest 4.8 blackscreen test kernel.

I am still testing if it is a kernel issue or rom. Now i have disabled dolby from magisk module list(while i still have blackscreen 4.8 latest test) and i am not having any crash on boot or after boot. But i dont wanna speak too soon. Lets see.

But 09/03 really works well, much better battery so far than previous builds. Hope [MENTION=5495092]oadam11[/MENTION] is listening to us and will fix the issues on next one.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
I don't use that Dolby I one has no issues!

So you have Validus 1.7 Stable and this dolby atmos. But you dont have any force closes or crashes (android.phone, system topped etc.), especially on boot? Which gapps are you also using? Can you share?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
Yes very stable one thing I'm a SuperSU user.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Ahaa, so maybe the issue happens because of Magisk? But i thought Dolby is a magisk module, isnt it?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tomgar:
This module is another.You should flash this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569951476 and disable FXaudio.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
We are both on Validus 1.7 rom. Dolby behaves differently on each rom. There is no FXaudio on Validus as well..

Thanks, i will try that one too
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tomgar:
it is the same,this audio is dolby of Eui.Sound similar in all oreo Roms.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
The given file by you is a port from ZTE Axon 7 oreo rom. Not from EUI.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tomgar:

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Agree, sound quality is really great but it crashes on some roms. When you boot the phone (not always) system crashes. But you can use the mod and phone normally later. This happens on Validus. Propably it works without any issue on other roms. This is what i am trying to say :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
I have never had any type of crash on this ROM.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
I think you must have a miracle phone my friend. If you read a bit around, you will see I am not alone with this problem (occasional crashes) Especially 09/03 build makes rare crashes when on boot (When Dolby is installed) It doesnt happen always though. I very often restart to phone and i experienced this issue. I will try 11/02 build. It is said it works a little bit better.

Can you share which gapps and build are you using? Which magisk version are you on? How often do you restart your phone? Because it onlly happens on booting. After boot, there are no crashes happening
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] kukuteku:
I agree with you. Now I am on 1.5 RC, on 1.7 Stable Dolby cause Crashes and instability. Even sometimes after boot dont charge UI, give a error "UI stop working".

Its a miracle to flash Dolby and 1.7 and dont get a bootloop.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Yes, i forgot about saying that. I am booting the phone and i am seeing the system(my wallpaper), and when i want to slide to unlock, system restarts itself again. Puts you back Validus booting logo and boots into system this time without crash. Interesting :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Double msg. Edited
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Ok you didnt flash MAGISK.

But, you flashed supersu from twrp, right?

I need Magisk, not just root. So we are comparing oranges and apples. I am using banking apps and they dont work when there is only supersu.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
All my banks ect work with SuperSU.

Keep flashing it and you continue to have problems.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Magisk and dolby for oreo work for any other rom (aicp, lineage etc).

Makes problem only on Validus. So this is not a magisk issue. If magisk is problematic, then why they work fine together on other roms?

Yes, i will keep flashing Magisk because I am happy with it. Your banks maybe working for you but this doesnt change the fact that my online banking app doesnt work with supersu. I am sure it is same for most of people. Thats why Magisk is popular. It can hide any app from root. Also has great modules for Android. I am sure one day Validus will be fixed for magisk + dolby work together.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
For the last time Dolby work on that ROM your Dolby your using is not compatible with it.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
I am using the same dolby atmos as you do. I flashed the same one. You gave the link above. Also the same gapps and same validus 09/03. You dont read what is written. You dont respect what people write.

First you must know what Magisk is. Do you know why we use it? SuperSu doesnt help me. Get it???

Second, read other comments too. But as i said before, you dont have such habbit. You are ignorant and unrespectful. You dont even read the forum properly.

Example :

We are talking about a magisk module, sauron. You jump suddenly and saying "everything work perfect for me on the rom" but you dont have even magisk installed. Then how Sauron works for you??? But of course no answer...

https://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/how-t...cp-lineage-t3740978/post76004942#post76004942

DolbyAtmos_Axon7_Oreo_20180202.zip

By the way, I am on 20s Firmware, flashed a week ago when I tried Lineage 15.1

First I flashed Rom, Gapps and Magisk, then Boot rhe System. After some configuration (g account etc) I rebooted into Recovery and Flashed Dolby. For me everything works ok.

Then that's installed Greenify and YouTube Vance modules...

Reboot .... Enjoy.

Newest/Stable 1.7 version have some issues. FC's some Apps and its a little bit Laggy than 1.5 RC. After couple reboot you loss the Root and you have tu reflash Magisk. Its harder to get Dolby works and have a bugs, if you tray install Apk backup, take long time install app, sometimes 1+min, sometimes hangs.

Anyway, Stable 1.7 version has better battery backup plus features and tweaks but worst audio.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] SUMMERBREEZE:
Anyone who is not happy with low speaker sound via calls on lates Validus 1.7 stable rom, here is the solution. This is the old mixer file from 11.02 validus build.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/m70876rnovio2vt/mixer_paths_tasha.xml

Please put it in your internal storage and replace it with old one.

Use a root explorer (I used the explorer in sd maid app) , copy the new mixer file and follow this path. system/vendor/etc and paste it. Now restart your phone.

If you like, you can back up the present mixer file before doing this, if you dont like the new sound profile, you revert it back again.
