[ROM] Android 4.4.2 debranded for Huawei Ascend G6-U00 (dual SIM), EMUI 3.0

Hi,
This is a mod of a 4.4.2 EMUI 3.0 ROM that works perfectly on my Huawei Ascend G6-U00. Dual SIM support. It is an improvement over an earlier 4.4.2 version that had Caller ID and other issues. I have no time to work on this ROM too much as I needed to have my mobile working, so I am posting it as is - bugs listed below.
No GApps, needs flashing separately, although Google Play framework is present (surprisingly).
Serious issues:
None noticed.
Minor issues:
A 3G/4G switch is present in Settings but, naturally, don't expect 4G to work on a 2G/3G-only phone - the max you will get will be HSPA+ irrespective of the switch setting.
The original FlyIME Chinese/Latin keyboard is the only one bundled. Other keyboards can surely be downloaded from Play Store or flashed. A few attempts to add Google keyboard to the ROM failed but maybe someone with more knowledge feels like incorporating e.g. the AOSP keyboard in the ROM and remove 40+ MB FlyIME (and all its subfolders)?
A few unnecessary .so files might remain in /system/lib after junk apps were gone. They have no impact on the system but feel free to inspect and remove them as appropriate.
Kinguser app for root management. I did not succeed with installing Superuser or SuperSU on my previous version of a similar ROM and now did not have time nor motivation to experiment with this one. Kinguser works well, though. It is not the latest version but will update on first run.
Boot animation is for a different resolution. Will benefit from replacing to a more decent one.
Credits should go to a now-unknown user who posted this ROM on a Russian-language forum several months ago. I no longer have the URL, nor even forum title. I only did minor modifications and junk removal.
By far this is the best ROM I have had on G6-U00, and if someone took an hour or two to polish out the minor issues above, this would make it an ultimate ROM for this model.

Hi ! I'm so happy to read this post. I'm from Venezuela and the money is an issue here to buy a phone, i saw the G6 in Amazon last year so i just bought it immediatly, it looked so good for the price, in some way it was too good to be true but that's another history. I've been looking for a custom room since January and this is the first one that i found in a non chinnese-russiand site, i just wanted to say thanks i'll try it to see how it works, but i also have a question: is there a way to really install the apps in the sd card in this phone?, i tried for weeks and i couldn't do it, i just can't do the partitions on the sd card, i guess the OS doesn's allow it or something like that, if you can give some advice it wold be very nice.
Thanks again!!
PS: Sorry for my bad english haha!

Android 6.0 Marshmallow is coming, CM13 is coming too

Have you thought that as soon this new android version is coming new AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and Omni are also coming? Write here all what you think this new ROM should have that the previous ones didn't have!
P.D.: Is there going to be Xposed installer available for this new version ?? We will see that soon

Android M
Android 6.0 Marshmallow or Android M is the same thing,right ? Thank you !

Well, although all this, Android will always be better than the disgusting iOS

The first question that comes to my mind is that the extra features that will be available in Android M.... Then the ROMs can be discussed as they are always the icing on the cake.

That's a real truth... Android by far has always proven it's superiority over other OS through it's cool features & continuous development.

Onereason Android makes it a better choice than Ios was this fact that you are onmuch more open work to walk on(easily root and stuff) but Android m accordin to news here is trying all it can to blockbring changes..i seems we are again going through OS which is going to limited our capabilities in customizin its environment...if this happened,I believe other OS like firefox or in near future, MIUI(independent of android in future),will have more chance of getting attention ...hope google won't cose the paths to root and stuff as root is really what brings out "the most feature of Linux system in android" and having an androind device as being more pleasant

I don't think Google would do that. Because it would ruin Android's Open Source. But if that happen, there would be another OS to develop for SmartPhones: Ubuntu Touch

Well brothers, we hope Marshmallow brings prosperity to Android. Or more

Will Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060) have 6.0 Marshmallow rom, im stuck over 2years with JB 4.2 its horrible

One thing that is awesome about Android 6.0 is the fact that we will be able to limit what apps can access.I'm hoping that in turn adds to better security to your device since we live now in a world that security gets harder as technology gets farther along.

wonder what new features will be in CM 13..

CM13 nightly released for Asus Padfone S/X.I am not sure about this just saw a guide on theandroidsoul.com.If it is true then CM13 will be available for other devices. soon

This thread is interesting, and could be one to follow re the progress of CM13. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/cm13-0-unofficial-watching-code-merged-t3228335
Apparently we know that Doze will be included in CM13, which is good news IMO....I'm very excited about the battery life increases it should bring.

Cool

Now that Cyanogenmod is in bed with Microsoft and will install Microsoft apps as default system apps that can't be removed...I no longer care about any new CM news or builds.

I9500 users are lucky. I'm hoping it comes to the i9505 soon.

I am trying to make one usinf PatchRom and Gear CM13 as base.
But I am having issues at applying patches. There are 6 files with errors.
Can anyone help me with the patches?

Miui 8 for i9505?

I'd definitely like to have it. I wish I noticed this thread earlier so I could have posted. I must have missed it. Sorry. My vote is yes. lol

no luck to set it up. status 7...
can't mount /system.
i tried two types of recovery what else can i do?
that's ok now. i hadn't reboot it, but it don't work again.
the inital interface crashes on start, it says that Mi Cloud App stopped, it put me back to the connection settings page. I probably need to register MiCloud.
... create a MI acc, but this app don't let me go anyway, what the ...
... deleted all data and set FirstFlight N7 Themed V6. May be later, it is even not started on a Hello screen.
Anyway, it is absolutle fail, I even didn't start use it. otherwise it looks good, like a step forward. we need optimisation 0[
finally I've done it. the solution was not to swith language at first start screen. google works ok with gapps pico.
camera didn't set from S6 (like FF rom was), battery works so-so. I'll post exactly after a few days.
I have some troubles with icons on a tray, i switch on them in setting but no animation anyway.
the processor drain, batteryHD icon - only inactive pics.
I tried to use Nevermore Kernel, but no result. No Mi boot animation at start. I had to put boot.img to nevermore .zip

What happens if I install the i9500 version on a i9505 device?
Does it fail to boot?
Will it destroy the device?

download links not working
Where to download the rom from ? I downloaded the one by GTBluesky but it has some chinese apps and on blocking them, the phone ends in a bootloop. need some help with the rom and download.

Stable LingeagOS requires stable stock firmware (at best, kernel sources).
Doogee fails to provide either! Nougat update for the Y6 (16+2) was too bad. Fortunately they fixed part of that problem.
I have been working on RR 5.8.4 based on kernel 3.18.35 (nougat kernel) for Doogee Y6. It boots, has sound, fingerprint, sdcard and camera working. But bluetooth and wifi wouldn't switch on (SELinux related issue).
I don't have a BL5000 and I dropped all LOS (based) projects for Y6.

Do you have anything on Y6 left on GitHub?
I may drop the BL5000 soon if Doogee don't atleast release the official stock Rom by themselves. The one available is stock Rom backup which works fine.
BL5000 Android 7 is stable and it came with Android 7 out of the box. It was interesting to know that they implement partition A/B in most of the BL5000 partition.

using selfie flash as notofication led
hey guys i bought one of the doogee bl5000 an will receive it in a few days... cant wait... the phone seems to lack a "notification LED" and was wondering if there is any way that u can use the selfie flash as notification LED.. tnks in advance

The custom kernel (3.18.35) boots fine, has wifi, bluetooth, sound, touchscreen, sdcard, LCM but sleep and camera HAL are big issues (unable to solve, no official sources provided by DOOGEE).

There probably is an app in playstore that can do that, but it will consume your battery!

OUKITEL K6000 Plus already on 7.1.1 DOOGEE need to step up their game

it does work for the "selfie flash"?
it works for the "selfie Flash? or rear camera flash? or both? or u can choose which? because i kno of apps that make rear camera flash but i am lookin for one to make the selfie flash u kno like to make use if it as a notification led while the phone is laid on a table or so an screen faced upwards

Not quite sure that OUKITEL K6000 Plus has 7.1.1. It came with Android 7.0 and still runs that.
FYI, OUKITEL K6000 Plus and DOOGEE Y6 Nougat software was compiled by the same software group (HCT Group).
Build device is: hct6750_66_n. That's why it was easy to boot K6000 Plus kernel on the Y6 after injecting its drivers (LCM, especially). So, if the K6000 Plus gets Android 7.1.x, the Y6 will have it too (or I will port it). Still is it that DOOGEE did a good job with Nougat upgrade for the Y6 compared to Y6 MAX/3D that still runs Android 6.0.

It works with the selfie flash. You can choose either the back or front (selfie) flash NOT BOTH at the same time.
There's also plenty of customization. Just try it

Use this method to root the phone: https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-1-1-bl5000/
My BL5000 is currently rooted and everything is working ok.
Just after installing TWRP, you have to install SuperSU without rebooting the phone into Android: Boot into TWRP again, install SuperSU and then you can reboot your phone into Android.
The data partition asking for a password is solved formating that partition (bad solution, I know )

Maybe its the SIM?

Guide to unlock your MEIZU 16 Series' bootloader

Update: DO NOT TRY TO PAY!!! THE GUIDE IS BADLY OUTDATED. JUST USE THE RESOURCES AND FREE METHODS.
If you want to try the paid method, you should definitely get in touch with the seller first. I don't know whether the previous sellers are active or not.
If you want to inform me of something important, please `@me`, (I missed many replies in the past years)

There seems to exist a new method: It is said to work on Qualcomm devices.
First, dump frp partion, then edit the value to 1 at 7fff0, finally, flash the modified frp image. then you can use fastboot command to unlock your phone.
This new method shall work for for ODM devices like 16T, 16x, 16xs and Note9 and so on. see FRP Method.
Below is the original post:
The original post has been removed, since it's outdated and I almost finished the English version tutorial on Github.
You can see it on github.
BTW, it's really difficult to use XDA's text editor.
You can download the TWRP of 16s here

it's a start, is there anyone who has already tried a gsi?

Good news for us Meizu users! Hope this is just a first step towards some good modding ?

Will this also work on Meizu Note 9?

I will try to rewrite an English version
The Chinese version has been moved to wiki, I'm planning to rewrite an English version similar to the Chinese version.

Sure, the new method applies to almost all devices, all versions. You can have a look at my github repository. I will edit the original post as soon as I can post links. BTW, is there any netdisk you guys use frequently? I don't know where to put the TWRP so that you can download easily.

You can use yandex.disk or google drive.
But you say about downgrade. Does the new method ignore the firmware version ?

yes, the new method applies to almost all versions, I have not updated the original post, because I have not prepared the English Version well on Github. You can have a look at github.com/sukanka/MEIZU16S_unlock_tutorial/wiki/Guide-to-Unlock-Your-MEIZU-Device

A new tutorial has been released on github
I must post in this way, as I'm not allowed to post links now. The Tutorial is at

There seems to be custom ROMs for MEIZU 16th, I've seen Lineage, havoc, and mokee before. But i don't know how do these ROMs work. Anyway, I use 16s, not 16th. Besides, I don't know how to add a new phone category.
BTW, it's said that the kernel source of the 16 series will be released, maybe next year. And there are plans to upgrade the Android version of the 16 series.

You try another gsi rom? I want try pixel gsi or havoc, but I don't think was supported at 100%, probably lost taptic engine and other features... If have problems with this gsi and I want reinstall flyme stable, will be a problem?

No problem. If your phone becomes a brick, you can follow the unbrick tutorial to save your phone. But you are suggested to have glance at the tutorial before you go.
As reported by others, fingerprint and Mengine (taptic engine) don't work.

I am on havoc 2.9. Fingerprint mengine and mtp not work. But other features work fine

First telegram gruop for rom develop in meizu 16series: @Meizugsi
