I'm trying to see if there are any Roms(cyanogen?) for the Mate 2(not the original), or does it not matter?
Great device, but hate the launcher/UI they use. I'd prefer stock android. :good:

I'd prefer a closer Android rom then a launcher. It makes it run smoother and gives me more RAM to use as it only has 2GB to begin with. Any idea on ROMS for the Mate 2? I know it's a newer device, but it would be ideal to get another ROM on it.

I bought the first Huawei Mate and I will NEVER buy another Huawei device again. Barely any support for custom Roms and this company does not believe in updates. Waiting 11 more months for my contract to end and I'm moving on to an LG G series. Saving a couple bucks when purchasing one of these is just not worth it.

I like modifying my phone to get the best of it and custom roms is the thing that i do. I need you to tell me what rom do you use, why and is it stable.
Short answer: The ROM I tried that worked the best was Resurrection Remix.
Long answer: Resurrection Remix is the only custom ROM I would be able to recommend, as it is the only ROM that worked with the phone. Lineage, for me, would not boot and I could not write the OS to the phone. I did not try any of the other ones, as those were the two most stable ones.
Unfortunately, I dont believe either one of them is the best choice for a daily driver to get the best out of the phone. The random reboot issue in all ROMs and the camera quality were a deal breaker for me. The lack of fast charging on the original brick was also disappointing, but I did not use it much anyways originally. The battery drain was a bit much while the ROM was fast.
Overall, I was happier with stock. Nova Launcher really brings out the best of both worlds in this phone.
As for now, i suggest you to stay stock with EMUI / Nova Launcher. There are a lot of good devs here but the kirin chipset is not one of the easiest to overcome and develope to. So for custom roms near "stock" experience (i mean with less bugs and good camera and battery life) we have to wait the "still not officially annunced but probably will come instead" Oreo update wich all of us believe will bring Treble to our H8 (also thaks the separate vendor partition that huawei/honor kindly uses in their devices) and only then we could hope in fast e better developement =)

Hello! I have been using A2 Lite for about six months now. I liked Mi phones. But I think A2 Lite is not up to mark as per the price charged. Especially, Android One experience. It lacks lots of features as compared to other MI phones in this range running on MIUI.
What are your thoughts on this?

That's the point of this phone. Stock android with no features. That's why you do your research before buying something. You could've bought Redmi 6 Pro which is basically the same device with MIUI rom.

Some very basic features, like scheduling a SMS, adding speed dial number, double tap to wake etc. Its camera's hardware is good, but it's software is not.

So, why dont you try custom rom? Btw, sms scheduling works with non-native app. Dt2w - Iam using fingerprint unlocking, the fastest. And I dont think miui has this feature.

Redmi 5A and Note 4, both have Dt2w, and they both run MIUI.
I bought this phone specifically because it didn't have MIUI on it.
Stock Android, unlockable bootloader. It's the first phone I've had that gets security updates too.
I've had it for a few months now and I still love it.
MIUI suck, give so many features that u might never use.
Those features consume CPU and battery, while stock Android has lesser feature but any feature you want you can just get them from PlayStore.
My last Xiaomi phone (Mi 4i), became super laggy until cannot unlock the screen.
Turn out it was MIUI fault because it became normal again after I flashed it with custom ROM.
From my point of view it's the perfect Android terminal.
I only miss one feature from MIUI : Scheduled turn on and off :crying:

Try flight mode, almost zero consumption. -+1%/night
This phone absolutely lives up to its price point of the $159 I purchased two of them at. Great screen, great battery life, decent processor that can handle mostly everything except high end gaming, metal body, 2 of 3 American LTE bands for T-Mobile, FM radio, IR blaster, security updates monthly with Android One. MIUI is a dumpster fire and if you wanted MIUI you should've bought a Redmi.
It's a great phone.
I'm still wondering why so many people who prefer MIUI over stock android bought the A2 Lite instead of the Redmi 6 Pro which is even cheaper. Personally, I wouldn't even touch a MIUI phone with a pair of pliers.

I am one of the users who has the problem of slow wifi in 2.4ghz when the bt or gps is active. The problem arises from the month of December following the update to android P. From December to today Xiaomi has not produced any patch to solve this serious problem. For me this is a serious bug and leads me to say that it was not a good buy.

I flashed a custom rom on mine and have no such problem, actually no complains about the device. It's just hardware, with a proper OS on it (stock is never that) it works really good.
I bought this smartphone right after it was available version 4/64. I can tell is the best smartphone i never had, The best quality/price ratio, Battery last 9 hours sot, now you can install many custom rom, gcam makes photos great.... its fast and the display is great. Im totally satisfaited with this device. If you miss Miui than its you that bought the wrong models phone

Didn't sideload google apps.... because realized i don't need them to be installed.... using like a PC ! And after update this phone became even more better.
Was wondering about the window size adjustment since I didn't see that even after doing my out of the box update (after this was posted), but just checked and actually have 10.0.1.123 Guess they haven't released 138 to everyone yet
Which model do you have? Europe?
Yes - shows up as TAH-N29m and C432E2R2P1 like OP's...
10.0.1 is out !!! Check your phones !!
Just got 10.0.1.139 indeed

I also have to admit that Huawei can improve smoothest of UI....but its coming in 10.1 ! So i respect all this....is better than my galaxy fold... better bro !!

Galaxy fold is not optimized as a tablet. Everything opens there as in smart phone view. You can change the screen size is switching down to tablet mode and you starting to see big lags in openning/closing apps.
Gaming on Fold (snapdragon) is bad... example AXE game., life after they all running bad on ultra settings.
Now i understand what is optimization meaning with
Mali-G76 MP16 and kirin. Im telling this as a owner of "2" galaxy fold ! Fold can't even run well 2 games together !

Is Android 10 Go possible? Or maximum 7.1.2?
I don't mind slowness until it is unusable. Galaxy S2 did it even without Android Go, why Tab 2 can't?
Also how to make custom rom myself?

ooof didnt expect that
but thiss device is ages old and its nice of devs to keep it updating to latest security patches
making a rom is quite hard i guess (tried making one but didnt understand stuff) hopefully if devs want they can make one but i dont think it will happen nougat is still buggy for us

yeah, it's sad that the predecessor got oreo and GT2 haven't. Oreo go edition would have been the best rom for this tablet and any aging tablet for that matter as it is modern and is easy on hardware with 1GB RAM and underperforming processors.

will we see a lot of development as in the xiaomi poco f1 or not?
thank you
If you have a Xaomi, i recommend keeping it a little longer. Roms for this devive are in a weird situation because the only 2 stable ones are calyx and graphene which arevboth great, but they are both very barebones and kind of difficult if you aren't experienced with degoogling

Yes, adding Bluejay is possible. Whether developers choose to do it is another question.
Velocity will be ready for public release soon. I'm just buttoning up a few more things.
I noticed with the phones I've own, custom ROM seem to get me frequent as the phone gets older and the stock rom releases begin to vaporize. If the phone has enuff hardware power n memory AND there's no more factory support (as in many older midrange Motos). The Moto G5+ and G5S+ had active 'post' communities as did the G6...I got a G7 cuz of 4gb memory figured it'd be a big post EOL project/rom phone BUT I missed the fact that moto was following google with the whole dynamic update w/ dual A/B slots which killed our beloved TWRP custom recovery and nandrive image backup.
BUT is u weren't into rooting/tweaking then that explains why Android Police named it the #1 phone for running LOS! Esp. after Moto released thr Android 10 kernel source code!! This is the main reason I didn't sell/trade it off...and ofc my wife put one of those sky-blue 2pc cases from Poetic and claimed it! lol
