Heh heh, me. Don't think the year matters unless there's something else to use in 2018. I run multiple ROMs on my devices (MultiROM or DualBoot Patcher, depending). Best way to play around while having something to fall back on if a ROM goes south.

After several years of multibooting I can't see myself with just one. ?

I guess if MultiROM doesn't get updated anytime soon I may have to stick with just one.

Flashed latest motocam2, no issues with this rom, Thanks for this build, it's a beautiful thing!
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] marcdw:
Yep. Really liking this ROM. Haven't hit any major snags. Sweet. No Substratum supoort so using themes is like legacy, requiring reboots.

ROM is odexed, right?

Had to post in the OmniROM community to show how pleased I am with it.

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] marcdw:
Thanks. Just found that out. Although I jumped the gun and had installed the Andromeda Local Client app thinking it was needed. I assume it's not?

Basic behavior hasn't changed though. Reboots are still required to enable/apply some overlays. Either I'm missing something or that's just the way it is without the SubS service.

Still, all good though.

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Peezoslug:
No reboot is needed, uninstall Substratum and Andromeda, then reinstall Substratum and give root access, then install Andromeda and open the app and there are settings you need to toggle....if you need help still, I'm here....I have Substratum applying themes without reboot and also updates themes as new versions are released....look through the settings very carefully.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] marcdw:
[MENTION=5642153]Peezoslug[/MENTION], Andromeda and Substratum are setup properly.

On another ROM, balanceOS (also no SubS service), I set things up. Still, I have to reboot before applying overlays. That's actually what needs to be done on some other ROMs like DU.

But anyway, the screenshot below is what I get with Omni and balanceOS. Looks like something I just have to live with(?).

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Peezoslug:
If set up properly the reboot prompt will go away after about 20 seconds and the overlay will install...click on Andromeda app and hit the settings button and toggle both options on. In the Substratum app go to settings and toggle all of the automation options on then reboot phone....I'm trying to help figure this out with you.....it's working on my phone, so I know it's working 100%

I was on stock and finally took the plunge. Everything seems to be working really well.

The only thing I've noticed is while paired with my car's bluetooth...I no longer get to see the artist and song name on the car's screen.

Not a showstopper though, just thought I would mention it.

EDIT:

After running it a few more days...and this may be due to my sdcard...I've noticed some serious lag in some apps from time to time.

I got my P20 Pro a few days ago and I'm still playing around with it. Just now I came across a list of "authorised apps and websites" in my settings. One of these is just a Chinese/SE Asian symbol (see the pic). I'm concerned about this being a dodgy site or app, going by all the scare stories about lesser known phone companies installing spyware on their handsets. Could someone have a look and give me some idea as to what this is, site or app, and if it is safe?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Laurijan:
Hi!

I got a s7 edge g935f for free from a friend that had a dead logic board.

The spare-part logic board was ordered from aliexpress and shipped from hong kong but it was from italy originally.

Its an original samsung PCB btw no copy.

Now i have software build NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQF3 and the shop i bought the board from told on the sales page not to update the phone since it could lose the mobile signal and they take to responsibility then.

I could install TWRP on it, with that i have enough expierience but i would like to run the latest original nordic samsung firmware on it.

How could i accomplish to change the firmware to nordic without installing TWRP?

Best regards,

Lauri

Edit: When i open update it does offer me an italian firmware build

You have to flash with Odin
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Laurijan:
The stock recovery has an option to flash from SD card or ADB. Wouldnt that work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Laurijan:
Ok i managed to flash official nordic rom with odin on my s7 edge.

Pre-sale the china shop did flash a german modem file on an italian logic board so that it would work in whole of EU.

This was real messy and they told me not to update the android to not lose signal.

An unbearable thought for me that wants latest android.

I was somewhat afraid that my imei number would delete itself like to china shop support said it would but it didnt.

Before flashing i wrote down the imei and with XPOSED IMEI Changer Pro i could have set it again.

Was also worried i could not backup my italian/german rom mess before odin treatment since i am not rooted.

Got lucky not to trip knox bit with this flash...

Hey everyone! In the past, I have tried to unlock my Redmi Note 3's Bootloader via the official method (yes I have permission), and also fastboot oem unlock command. Nothing seems to work, and I am going to follow some tutorials to get ZCX TWRP on my phone. Provided it works, I need to know some things:

1. Will those tutorials (they all do same thing; flash ZCX TWRP via Mi Flash EDL) unlock bootloader?

2. If not, will I be able to flash custom ROMs like AEX 5.7 via recovery?

3. Can ZCX TWRP be replaced by official TWRP?

Help with getting rid of MIUI (and my locked bootloader) would be appreciated. :D

Cheers!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] 5tunter:
Been pretty confused as to which one to go for since the day the 6gb version of max pro m1 was announced. Already have a redmi phone and it seems filled with bloatware, which is a bit annoying. Also, dont like the MIUI, but have seen some reports of Asus after sales support being very bad and despite the 5000 mah battery the phone lasting a bit less than RN5P.Is this true? The anti rollback also seems like a small issue now on the RN5P. Also how will the development of roms and recoveries be for both the devices ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MarvinMe:
As far as I am concerned ARP is an issue if you switch between MIUI roms. Custom roms don't have a firmware included (that's why developers say flash Specific_firmware.zip because they wrap their roms around them.) MIUI 10 is a beta so no it's highly unlikley they get shipped with ARB protection v.4 (always double check your device with fastboot getvar anti)

Long story short: you can flash/mod your device and make it look like stock Android in no time. It has a great & huge community. Even if you are on ARB v.4 (which is giving people headache because they flash MIUI with ARB v.3) you won't have a problem installing a custom rom (which is the important point here): Nobody likes MIUI, everyone wants stock!

Regarding the Asus Zenphone max pro m1 vs xiaomi camera: for an average user they are pretty much equal, however the xiaomi redmi note 5 pro camera performs slightly better (according to side by side comparisons).

4gb RAM vs 6gb RAM doesn't really matter to be honest. It's like having 16gb vs 8gb of RAM in a gaming PC: it doesn't matter for your daily purpose.

Both of the devices have a very good XDA community and custom rom support, again no problem modding both of these devices.

Conclusion: the only place I've found the asus phone was Aliexpress and yeah it's a bit more expansive (~260€) sure you have 6gb of RAM, meanwhile the RN5P is ~190-200€

I think you should go with the xiaomi redmi note 5 pro, again you have nothing to worry about in terms of price/performance the best one until ~400€ in all categories.

If you have a bit more money to spend I would recommend the OnePlus_6 (~500€) it's a beast.

Additional plus point for the xiaomi redmi note 5 pro (+ OnePlus and other high end devices) are the MOFI cases. Don't forget a tempered glass and you are good2go. Cheers, I hope I could have helped a bit :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] d1g1m4n:
Asus is more expensive.

Xiaomi has better community, more roms and better support.

Arb is not a decision factor at all.

I do not remember well but in some review i watched, there was some little bugs in asus. As well as in rn5 lol).

6gb will NOT give you anything, in need of perfomance comparison you must get real testing side by side, and results can change with software updates.

In that review i watched, there was points score at the end, and both phones got equal score. I do not fully believe to reviewers, but it was looking kinda objective. Just some features are better in rn5, other better in asus.

Personally at first I would compare the software, size of community, custom roms amount, then camera shots, and then perfomance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] 5tunter:
I should have mentioned being from india where there is improvements in both the primary and secondary cameras for the 6 gb version of the max pro m1.

In india, its exactly the same price for both the phones which is ~ 190€.

Oh man, believe me this is a no brainer for everyone, but its almost double that of my budget. That being said if I ever have the budget for a Premium phone I am going for whatever version of OnePlus would be available that year.

Your reply was very helpful, thanks man ...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MarvinMe:
Well, maybe not everyone is from India? However I don't understand your statment regarding "Indians advancement of technology regarding cameras/6gb RAM". There are camera comparisons of these phones, watch them and then reply plz :( I don't care, the end product has to speak for itself!

To be honest ~1/2 years ago I had a phone with 2gb RAM, 16gb ROM and I didn't have any problems at all, so I don't see any problem here.

A lot of people actually think they don't need an expansive phone because they look at Apple and Samsung or let it be Google (which all are around 1k). A lot of people are simply not aware of that.

One hint: leave the sarcasm be, it should be a friendly open minded international community and not something corrupted twisted around india full of sarcasm and hatred with people only complaining about others and not even appreciate the time and effort.

Do you have an idea how often I have seen the question? Doesn't matter I always take my time to tell my opinion.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] 5tunter:
I was mentioning the 6gb version of the zenfone cause the cameras on it has been improved to 16 mp for both the primary and secondary from the previous 13 mp and 8 mp for the 3 & 4 gb versions of the phone. I just thought that the global version for this phone would be a little different like the MI 6X and the MI A2 (which are essentially the same but with minute differences). It might have come out wrong. I wasnt being sarcastic at all and your answer was actually very helpful.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] tirtha231:
What is this arrogance about???!!!

Who are you? How much help have you provided to any community?? If any, what do you want from any of us(who are also in the same community of XDA,specially from Indians) in return??? How dare you to complain against a race or a nation like that?? You are one of the dumbest one to be seen in XDA's history and you are really lucky that the questioner(5tunter) was really humble to ignore your arrogant and sarcastic reply.

Now read out and try to follow what he was trying to mean to you..

RN5P 4gb/64 and AZM1 6gb/64 both are available in India with exactly same price i.e. INR 14,999 (~ 190€.) So we are not dumb enough to buy it from AliExpress by paying much more price. You are not from India that is your problem, or are you asking us to move to your place and buy the same phone from AliExpress?? So, as both of them available at exact same price now it's really hard to decide which one to buy as previously RN5P was quite better in terms of overall offerings and particularly in Camera department compared to AZMPM1's 4gb variant. But Asus has come a long way and upped their offering with the 6gb variant with a newer and better camera setup which performs as good as RN5P( as you referring to lots of comparison available on YouTube) and surprisingly with same tag of ~ 190€ compared to 4gb RN5P ( He dosn't have to pay ~ 260€ like you). Also there are so many other aspects of both the phone but in each and every comparison they are not far superior or inferior from each other. So it's really hard to decide and that's why so many of buyers asking for the final opinion which is more hard to find from any available comparison.

If you can help him to decide that is fine If not then also that is fine but why trolling someone who doesn't want to buy(but really wish to have the money to buy it when his budget allows him to) a phone what costs more than double i.e. INR 34,999.00(~500€) . If every one can afford OP6 then what's the point having RN5P or AZMPM1 in market!!! Or we have to mortgage our property or savings to get OP6, as you are liking it very much!!!

And please try to avoid these kind of words in future like "sarcasm and hatred", when no one provoking you to use it and otherwise humble to you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] raza_maestro:
I can understand your confusion, as i am in that situation myself. I currently own Redmi Note 5 Pro (4+64 black) running AEX rom without any issues but i was eagerly waiting for the 6gb variant of Zenfone Max Pro as i am planning to switch to that and from my perspective let me tell you why:

Pros of Zenfone Max Pro(6gb):

1. More Ram (only helpful if you are a intense user)

2. dedicated sd card slot (absolutely need it)

3. RGB notification led (unlike white led crap on RN5P).

4. Stock android (for those who does not like miui and dont wanna root and all)

5. Improved cameras

6. Battery (not a big difference over RN5P though).

7. Slightly better loudspeaker performance

8. Price!

Apart from this performance, display and appearance is not much different. So yeah choice is yours. I'll personally go for Asus than RN5P for 15k!
