I know, it is great, my sister just got the galaxy s9 and thinking she was great, I was like your phone cost like triple the price mine did brand new and doesn't really do anything that mine doesn't. What made it even funnier was the fact that hers only has android 8.0 and thanks to the awesome devs on here, mine has 8.1 :D she was not happy :D With this new rom it really is a whole new phone and I love it even more now, I did briefly brick it last night haha, but managed to sort it out thanks to the brilliant TWRP and adb sideload :P
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kanagawaben:
Still loving mine after... a couple of months short of two years I think. Was really future-proofed with 4GB RAM, fast UFS storage, 1440p display and best of all the beast SD820 which has aged well and is still respectably powerful. What a bargain. And the fantastic Oreo custom ROMs we now have make it even better than it was originally and keep it bang up to date and relevant. There are just two things I wish were different about the phone - I wish it had better battery life, and I wish it had black top and chin bezels because the black borders on the display look bloody ugly with the gold top and bottom and would be much less noticeable if all black.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Exactly it's still running perfectly now even compared to the latest phones. The black screen edges have never bothered me, but you're not the only person I've seen that doesn't like them. As for the battery, mine was fantastic, would last 2 days easy, even with an average amount of usage, only now I've updated to Oreo, the battery is much much worse, so may need to try all the latest ROMs to find one with the best battery life.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, if you want as much battery life as possible? Resurrection Remix Power Saver is the Oreo ROM that focuses on that. :good:

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Oh cool, please would you post the link for me? I see three RR ROMs in development section.

I do believe it was RR that I came from, but I installed that last rom over a year ago so can't quite remember haha
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolman7:
Which ROM did you used that you got 2 days of battery life?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
I couldn't tell you, until the other day, the last time I'd flashed a new ROM was over a year ago, but like I said, I think it could have been RR, but either way that rom is old, a year plus. And I'm not talking two days heavy use, was like 2 days of average use sending messages, the odd phone call, Google searches and stuff like that.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] arpit1234567:
Excellent phone.

I bought this phone for 200$ a year ago and till now I haven't found any smartphone as good as le max 2 under 250$.

All my friends also like this phone very much.

Only con for me was the crappy Chinese UI which came in build but thanks to the excellent development group, stable oreo roms have taken this phone to a new level.

I will use this phone for another 2 years.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Yeah that was the only downside, all the Chinese junk on it. But yeah the custom ROMs make it perfect. I am surprised because there was less development going on for this phone when it first came out than there is now. And I agree, I genuinely believe I'll be using this for another 2 years easily, if not more. I just don't see any upside to paying out money for a new phone that would not perform any better than this already does, and may only have an extra hardware feature or something else like that. I mean even if a new phone had triple the ram and triple the CPU power, what's the point? This phone runs everything perfectly fine, no amount of power is going to make a smoother experience than something that's already as smooth as you can get haha. I get no lag at all doing anything with this phone, and I've never had any issues running any games, even stuff I've seen that is incompatible with this device on the play store, I download it elsewhere and it runs perfectly haha. All I need to do is find another Oreo ROM with better battery than this one.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
I think he just released a new release candidate which isn't part of those last few work in progress builds so I'd search that group for replies by Sergey as he is the maintainer of rrps.

RR Nougat was officially maintained by andr68rus who has moved onto the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and there was an old and buggy Official release of RR O by unvesh but tbh they should just take that down as unvesh put out on release version and then bailed for a Xiaomi Mi A1...
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Ah okay thanks for that. I'll have a proper look later from the computer. I'm sure my last ROM was RR but that was a marshmallow ROM, so pretty old, but the battery life was really good whatever it was haha.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Ah ok yeah for MarshMallow I'm pretty sure he also maintained it but that's quite a while back so I could be wrong hehe :silly:

He also maintained OmniRom official and AOKP unofficial and DU unofficial. They were pretty darn good. I really liked his AOKP Marshmallow builds they were slick.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Haha yeah it was over a year ago when I first used a custom ROM on this phone. It was only 3 days ago I finally upgraded to Oreo, mainly because I was worrying about the lack of any security patches in all that time. I'm really glad I did because it's like a new phone now, just a shame about the battery drain, I don't spend long periods out of my home so it's not a massive issue, I've been trying to find a fix for the network standbys battery drain which at the moment is using %30 of my battery and seems to be common to all Oreo ROMs and even the stock ROMs on new phones.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, unfortunately that is the Achilles heel of the Le Max 2... Cellular radio. The hardware is not very good compared to other devices released around the same time for the radio antennas in our device which is why a common complaint about the Le Max 2 is low signal quality a lot of the time...

On LineageOS 15.1 I tried to mitigate that issue by using Xiaomi Mi5 (Gemini) vendor blobs for all cellular radio activities but it's still a bandaid on a broken bone and only does so much... I don't know of any hardware mods to improve the cellular radio antennas on our device which in theory would do a better job of fixing the issue
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] popoyaya:
Agreed this phone is still a beast. I've been on Omnirom 7.1.2 without problems since I got it and have felt no need to upgrade to Oreo. Are there any actual plusses, apart from reduced battery life?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
To be honest I never even knew there was an issue with the radio, I've never had any issues with low signal, in fact I switch my network from LTE to gsm/wcdma preferred so I only get 3g not 4g as on 3g my signal is much better and I get up to 3 mb/s downloads and on 4g is usually less than 1 mb/s so in theory the radio should use less power with a good signal as it only boosts the power in low signal situations. Also on my last ROM I never had an issue with it draining battery, after draining a full charge, network standby was usually around %5-%10 of the total usage, since coming to Oreo a full drain to %1 has network standby as %30 of the total drain.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
I know right, even looking at the galaxy S9 specs, I'm not impressed enough to buy one even if I was rich, yeah it has an octo core CPU, but what's the point in that, as I've already said I have found nothing that this phone won't run perfectly smoothly, if this phone had 4 more cores, all it would do is use more battery. Also the S9 only has 4gb ram, you have to pay more for the S9+ to get 6 haha. And really neither of them would perform any better than this phone as this already performs perfectly.

As for the plusses of Oreo, for me it was having the latest version of Android as its most secure and has all recent security patches, it's also really nice to use, although I'm on revengeOS ROM and I think they're using a custom UI and I've no comparison as its the only one I've used so far haha, but it's really really nice and I'd recommend it, if most Oreo ROMs have this same battery issue, I'd definitely say give revengeOS a try, even without seeing any others I can tell you this one is really nice to use and makes me feel like I really do have a brand new phone.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Drollach Gûntar:
Agreed.Absolutely it is.I've got the x829 version 6/128, which is the best deal.Currently using the EUI 5.8.20s, the last official release for it.But very good and quite stable and bugless and i'm in love with it's black&dark themed recent apps menu.Rom Gets 130000 antutu benchmark score.Nevertheless, i'm interested in nougat and oreo roms.I will be waiting for stable releases of either EUI 6 and 8.1 oreo roms.Do you guys have any knowledge about the antutu benchmark scores of oreo roms, that is higher than EUI roms ?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, yes Oreo ROMs are higher because they don't prevent the big cores from doing their job. EUI ROM gets better battery life than Nougat or Oreo ROMs and that's one of the main reasons why.

Attached is my screenshot from LineageOS 15.1. as you can see? It's right about where the ZTE Axon 7 is for performance which is good. :good:

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zman1989:
Hi all I am undecided between this phone and a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x. Which one would you guys recommend? Is this phone faster? How about battery life and camera? Thanks :)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Hi ? That's a hard one really. I've never used the Xiaomi. But I can definitely say, for me anyway, the Le Max 2 has been great for me. Would you use it stock or install custom ROMs? I've found the performance is brilliant stock and custom.

Battery life seems very inconsistent across all the latest ROMs, but mine always lasted ages before coming to an Oreo ROM, a lot of them give me terrible battery drain, but others use them with great battery life, and the one I am on now i get great battery life but others don't, so it's really hit and miss. But based on hardware capabilities alone I can recommend this phone, but if you do want to customise and flash custom ROMs, just be prepared to try at least 4 or 5 to find one that suits you.

As I said, I can't comment on the Xiaomi, but maybe there are others here that could give a better comparison.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zman1989:
I had a Redmi Note 4x but I lost it unfortunately. It's a good phone, excellent battery and average performance but camera was ****ty. When I saw this phone with a 21 MP camera and Snapdragon 820 at a similar price (compared to the Snapdragon 625 on RN4X), I thought I'd do some more research on it. I don't really trust the videos on youtube so I thought I'd check here. Thanks for your reply :).
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] beta546:
Oh yeah I forgot to mention the camera. Again, in my experience it's been great, some custom ROMs have auto focus problems but there are fixes included. But even the phone completely stock takes great quality pictures and videos, including really nice slow motion. I was given this phone for free two years ago and have passed up on an upgrade on my contract two years in a row and just pay for a sim only plan because I'm so impressed with this phone, even two years on, I just can't justify paying out money for a new phone that would only be better than this phone on paper, not in actual usage.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MeguminBOT:
These things I say might be long shots but well here I go:

For the drivers (if on Windows), disable automatic driver searching and then completely remove the samsung drivers and reboot. Then re-install them with your phone disconnected, reboot your computer again and then connect your phone while it is booted to system and make sure you select charging only or MTP.

Could also go advanced mode and look for leftovers in the registry of the samsung drivers if you know how to.

Or try downloading the latest firmware "G930FXXU2EREM" and try flashing it, if you succeed then you can flash your country/carriers CSC later and possibly modem if you experience low signal.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] reignlight:
I found someone looking to sell their new unopened VZW Pixel 2 XL. Is it still possible to unlock these models with software as long as a different carrier SIM goes through initial start up process? I used at&t personally. If so can you tell from a fastboot menu before purchase or using some other means without adb or a PC connection? I'm not up to date on the process but recall some got lucky with this method or from a handset replacement from Google direct.

Please advise as I have a day or two before attempting s purchase from the buyer and root using alternate ROMs is the only way I'll rid myself of the LG V30 I use currently.

#an confirming with seller if it's ever connected to the VZW network with sim or not.... He claims new in box arrived yesterday
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
The short answer is...no. You can't unlock the bootloader on the Verizon variant phone. Some have got lucky with replacement models being the google version. But if it's a true Verizon phone, I'm afraid your outa luck :(
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] sawdin:
Motorola has the AT&T Gold Z2 Force marked down $200 to $500, and they've marked down the Black version $321 to $399. I need a new phone and the Z2 Force checks off most of the boxes (4/64, snapdragon 620 or better, 5.5" or larger screen, Bluetooth 5.0). I'd prefer a larger screen or 18:9 aspect and a 3.5mm connector, but for the price, it seems like a decent deal. I don't game, or watch videos and I don't use my phone to take a lot of photos. I just want something that won't lag or stutter when making calls while using Android auto for navigation and music.

However, I noticed some postings about Black AT&T phones from Cricket having problems. Is it just a "Cricket" issue? Obviously, the color of the phone has no impact on performance, but if there was a bad lot of "AT&T GSM" phones that happened to be on the line when they were using the "Black" bodies, that would not be fun if I happened to get one! Also, I would think Black would be a more popular choice than Gold, yet that is the color being discounted by an extra $121.

TIA!

Hi

If you're a XDA's regular visitor, you have already known that Samsung released GOOD LOCK app again and this time for OREO only. If not, head over to the XDA feature portal here:

Samsung is bringing back Good Lock, the UI customization app

​

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-bringing-back-good-lock/As it is stated in post this release is region specific only. Luckily I've figured out a way by which every Oreo Samsung user can install and use this to modify some system UI tweaks. So let's start.

Download the .zip file from here, extract it and install all apps one by one. Some apps(edge lightning etc) show icons on launcher. Open them and go through them you'll learn how to use them to tweaks SystemUI.

For apps that don't show icons, Download and install Activity Manager app from Play Store.

Now Launch it and search for the apps you installed along with good lock like quickstar, lockstar task changer etc

Upon finding app, just lauch 1st activity and you'll be brought right to that app's setting page.

Modify it as you like and you're done.
