You can try test in your Plus, but if you found any problem... you can try re-port again following porting tutorials. I'm here to see your answer about this.
it works great, however i didn't backup my imei number and wanted to go back to install it. Then i get the brom error with spflash. That's because of software incompatibilities between the software trying to install and the software on the mlais phone. So i'm stuck for the moment i guess.
*edit: had to find the right rom, then flashing worked again without the brom error.

You not backup your IMEI number?
If you put the IMEI number on Mtk Droid Tools and Mystic OS did not recognize the IMEI by dialing *#06# on the dialer, then you will need to reinstall the Stock ROM and then back up with MtkDroidTools.
I also went through the same problem and had tried various methods to replace the IMEI without a backup made earlier.
The method of reinstalling Stock ROM and make IMEI backup on Stock ROM is the only way I could save the IMEI number to computer and restore it in other ROMs that come with the same problem of lack of IMEI present
1. Reinstall Stock ROM
2. Root Stock ROM
3. Backup IMEI with MtkDroidTools
4. Restore the saved IMEI from MtkDroidTools
About problem in SP Flash Tools, Mystic OS installation is only under Recovery. I does not did installation in SP Flash Tools yet.
Thanks because i will do make installations to SP Flash Tools soon.

You can also just install the mystic os as an upgrade to the stock rom with imei number. Then the number will be kept in the Phone. Don't know whether there is another way to get the imei number in the Phone when installed the mystic os or the other cwm based roms. If your Phone is bricked, just install the stock rom with modded bootloader: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ROM-mlais-M9-stock-preloader-mod.rar

IMEI Data is stored in /data/NVRAM dir, in NVRAM folder have this folders:
*APCFG
*dm
*md
Is more easy do backup and restore IMEI with MtkDroidTools... or, if you no have IMEI backup you can generate new nvram files with MtkDroidTools, if Mystic OS recognize the IMEI so you can use MtkDroidTools to store your IMEI in the computer as i said in last reply.
But caution with modded bootloader, flashing a wrong bootloader you can brick you phone permanently.
It's a great rom!
*edit: changed the usb speed and without battery option in flashtool and installed the vcom driver again. Now the flashing of the other roms is also going well, without the annoying vbrom errors.
Emulated storage or Physical storage scheme?

I finnaly can edit the mlais m9 firmware to configure the physical storage to emulated storage scheme and make compatibility with android lollipop scheme and multi-user feature:
Old scheme, Physical Storage:
System Storage - 2GB -> (/data)
Internal Storage - 4GB -> (/storage/sdcard0)
New scheme, Emulated Storage:
System Storage - 6GB -> (/data) shared with emulated internal storage (/storage/emulated/0)
I need now know if the Mlais M9 users will agree with this changes, if the guys like i will provide the versions of the same android, one with Physical storage scheme (default by mlais team) and another with Emulated storage scheme.

I think that the overclock is set in kernel, not in boot.img. You need recompile the device kernel with new clock config but the MediaTek not provide the kernel for Mlais M9 anywhere!

I use this tool to port 6592 roms to my device. But the boot.img is a juction of kernel with ramdisk only. the kernel is the main file, without kernel source-code you can't make a new kernel file with custom clock configs.
I don't know if is possible disassembly the kernel file...

THIS THREAD IS A REVAMP AND ARCHIVE OF THE All about Lenovo A5000 [Root,Recovery,Roms,....etc] THREAD FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES OF UPDATES.
WELCOME!
IMPORTANT: DISCLAIMER: Some actions will void your warranty so read fully before beginning the tutorials. The author take no responsibility for the outcome of your computer nor phone for following any instructions in this post.
Feel free to ask a question IF you can't find your answer in this post.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKUP
FIRST, you're going to need to BACKUP your device FULLY - no ifs, no buts, because it saves everyone the headache.
Tutorials here, there, and everywhere for that. https://pinoyscreencast.net/others/get-stock-rom-romdump-mediatek-mt6582-via-mtk-droid-root-tools/
Or just Google or YouTube "backup rom mt6582". Try not to go the method that asks you to remove your battery because: 1) that's usually not for phones like A5000, 2) there are other methods available. Get familiar with the process and comfortable with it. Note all the common things across the tutorials.
You have to flash a recovery (e.g. TWRP), then root, then you can do whatever you want.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOVERY
Instructions For Installing Recovery via SP Flash Tool
This tutorial assumes you are on KitKat (KK) 4.4.2. If you are on Lollipop (LP) then follow the tutorial How To Rollback To KitKat.
Download SP Flash Tool (video tutorial on that page on how to install the driver too, which is a must).
Download TWRP v3.0.0.0 (A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0.zip) from the link below and extract it (to A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0). Now you can start.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEI (both of them), your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
Do not connect your phone to the computer until you are told to do so and please don't start this tutorial with low battery
Download SP Flash Tool for Windows or Linux (I have not tried the Linux version yet so I don't know how much different the Linux version will be)
Extract SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win.zip (to SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win)
In that folder open SP Flash Tool (flash_tool.exe - preferably right-click [Run as administrator])
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which is located in A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Download Only] is selected from the drop-down menu and not [Format All + Download] nor [Firmware Upgrade]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure Recovery is the ONLY THING TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you don't ever roll back to your stock backup that you made)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the Recovery tool to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer. Done.

ROOT
Instructions For Installing Root
For a simple method, you can use KingRoot, however this may not work for everyone and flashing SuperSU is recommended instead.
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your root tool (e.g. recovery flashable SuperSU linked below) file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, NOTHING ELSE
Tap Reboot System and you're done.
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 10-15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.

You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which it located in the folder of wherever you extracted your custom ROM to
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Firmware Upgrade] is selected from the drop-down menu and NOT [Download Only] nor [Format All + Download]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure EVERYTHING IS TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you rolled back to someone else's dump of KK 4.4.2 and not your original backup of KK 4.4.2 that you made, IF you made one)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the firmware to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer and boot up to check if it worked
How To Flash A Zip Or Img File via Recovery (e.g. ROM, G-Apps, Patch, Kernel, etc.)
IMPORTANT: You must be on kernel 3.4.67 to flash 3.4.67 kernel based ROMs, or on kernel 3.10.54 to flash 3.10.54 kernel based ROMs.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEIs, your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
Backup your entire ROM
If flashing a ROM, wipe the standard (Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache in the [Wipe] menu (you WILL lose your Data (apps & stuff) so you BETTER have backed that up too)
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your .zip or .img file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB drive via OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache ONLY, then tap Reboot
Order of flashing queue: ROM > G-Apps > Patches
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 5, 10, or even 15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.
How To Restore IMEI
Download MTK Droid Tools v2.5.3
When opening, make sure you extract it to a new folder, else you will have clutter everywhere
Connect phone, click ROOT (necessary) in bottom right, click Yes, and on the phone grant the permission
Now you can click "IMEI/NVRAM" button and enter them, click "Replace IMEI", when done click OK, click Reboot, and click Normal
Afterwards, reboot into recovery and backup NVRAM - this contains your IMEI
NOTE: If you could not click the "IMEI/NVRAM" button, root the phone first then retry the tutorial
How To Boot Into Recovery
Whilst the phone is turned off/first time after flashing recovery:
The method is actually a bit temperamental: Simultaneously press & hold both volume buttons and then press & hold the power button also (so you're now holding 3 buttons) and hold them until it vibrates AND the Lenovo logo comes onto the screen, then only let go of the power button; once you see the TWRP logo you can let go of the volume buttons
The first screen will ask you if you to confirm that you want to modify with your phone, swipe to confirm... this will not allow the phone to restore the original Lenovo Recovery
Now you're ready to flash Root tools, custom ROMs, patches, etc. that you downloaded
Whilst the phone is turned on:
Open the power menu
Tap Reboot, then immediately hold Vol+ & Vol- buttons and don't let go till it reboots and takes you to recovery menu

FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS
I flashed ... ROM and now it's not booting past the Lenovo logo, what do I do?
There's a thing called the kernel which talks with the phone's hardware. The Lenovo A5000 has two kernel versions 3.4.67 and 3.10.54. ROMs made for a certain kernel will not work on other kernel version. You either have to upgrade to Lollipop (3.10.54) or downgrade to KitKat (3.4.67).
I'm trying to flash this ... ROM but I'm getting "Error 7", what do I do?
DON'T wipe everything before flashing a custom ROM. Just do a normal factory reset i.e. clear Data, Dalvik Cache, and Cache.
Should the [email protected] kernel be flashed again after flashing a custom ROM?
If you downgraded to stock KitKat (S030) and are experiencing touch lag, then go ahead and flash it.
The kernel is already embedded in the custom ROMs shared here (exept for AICP 11), so why should you flash it again?
Some bugs like the camera bug embed itself into the Cache and a quick reflash of the kernel via recovery can temporarily fix the problem.
Can the modified boot.img of other ROMs be used for porting other ROMs?
The answer is mostly yes. Some AOSP ROMs (e.g. Validus) may have different ramdisk files, so you may get a bootloop. If you're trying to port a Cyanogen based ROM (e.g. Cyanogen..., Resurrection Remix, Temasek, etc.) you won't be getting this problem.
Which ROM and which version of it is the best?
A very subjective question so I can't answer it completely. Most users here use RR 5.7.4 or 5.5.9, CM 13 or 12.1, MiUI 8 or MiUI 7, etc. You'll have to try and choose for yourself.
Anyone working on Android 7?
Eek sounds like work. There's already an Nougat build for our device with kernel v3.10.54.
RIL is unstable and so is video decoding so wait for a stable build.
I flashed this ... ROM and now I'm getting boot animation in loop?
Use TWRP 3.x.x.x. Stay away from other TWRP versions like 2.8.x.x, 2.8.5.x, etc.
Is OTG working?
Our device started getting OTG from the S029 update onwards officially.
OTG is accessible via ES File Explorer in custom ROMS as well.

TipsyOS
Features
I successfully ported TipsyOS today. Seems that all works properly. Camera, Data, and Wi-Fi works. Bluetooth must be flashed separately. The ROM indeed looks like it's better than BrokenOS. See the screenshots I just made.
The ROM is stable, fast, and smooth, and seems to be better than BrokenOS. It has an amazing battery backup and awesome RAM management.
Bugs:
GPS partially working
VPN not working

Validus 6.0.1
Features
Performance wise the best I've used. Choose Nova Launcher on bootup it supports CyanogenMod Theme Engine (CMTE). This is the only ROM here that supports Cyanogen Theme Engine but has AOSP RAM management. Also has decent amount of customisation including headers.
Drawbacks:
1) Music player isn't sleek but ViPER4Android FX make up for it (you can always go for 3rd party)
2) No stock file explorer, so you have to download one from Google Play to get you started
Use SuperSU and G-Apps for Android 6

The answer to your question is in the first answer of the FAQs section. Please read the post as it states at the very beginning.
Marshmallow ROMs (nearly all) are based on kernel 3.4.67. Flash kernel 3.4.67 ROMs over kernel 3.4.67 ROMs and flash kernel 3.10.54 ROMs over kernel 3.10.54 ROMs.
99% you will have to downgrade to a KItKat ROM first (e.g stock S030) because KitKat ROMs are based on kernel 3.4.67, or you will get a brick (boot loop). If you don't downgrade you have a 1% chance of success, but do as you wish. No one here is liable.
Also, all tutorials to do everything needed are in the first post under the Tutorials section. Please read, thank you.

Its tested by Me You can Flash it directly even your current ROM is Kitkat/Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat .....But The Thing is Format Dalvik,Cache,System,Internal Storage then Restart Your Recovery After Formatting Then Install Your Desired ROM <3

Understood, but this requires backing up Data everytime and also wiping the System partition is generally not recommended because ROMs are built differently and could cause a boot loop.

Its tested by Me You can Flash it directly even your current ROM is Kitkat/Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat .....But The Thing is Format Dalvik,Cache,System,Internal Storage then Restart Your Recovery After Formatting Then Install Your Desired ROM <3

News to me.how did you get the 3.4 kernel to work over 3.10 version? Maybe some misunderstanding? So you were in stock lollipop with 3.10.54 kernel and you flashed roms with 3.4.67 kernel and booted successfully?
P.S I'm aware you can flash over different Android versions and I've done it many times for testing bugs
But never over different kernel version.
@7awliet I forgot to add andreidi in credits.my bad but he came pretty late:angel:
7awliet said:
Understood, but this requires backing up Data everytime and also wiping the System partition is generally not recommended because ROMs are built differently and could cause a boot loop.

One Time It got me A Bootloop is on Marshmallow/Nougat Roms built in 3.10.103 kernel...but it got fix when I installed the V3.0.3 of TWRP....But I still recommend to install stock firmware before flashing any 3.4.67 built ROM because sometimes it may cause bootloops and swipe lags.

BACKUP
FIRST, you're going to need to BACKUP your device FULLY - no ifs, no buts, because it saves everyone the headache.
Tutorials here, there, and everywhere for that. https://pinoyscreencast.net/others/get-stock-rom-romdump-mediatek-mt6582-via-mtk-droid-root-tools/
Or just Google or YouTube "backup rom mt6582". Try not to go the method that asks you to remove your battery because: 1) that's usually not for phones like A5000, 2) there are other methods available. Get familiar with the process and comfortable with it. Note all the common things across the tutorials.
You have to flash a recovery (e.g. TWRP), then root, then you can do whatever you want.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOVERY
Instructions For Installing Recovery via SP Flash Tool
This tutorial assumes you are on KitKat (KK) 4.4.2. If you are on Lollipop (LP) then follow the tutorial How To Rollback To KitKat.
Download SP Flash Tool (video tutorial on that page on how to install the driver too, which is a must).
Download TWRP v3.0.0.0 (A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0.zip) from the link below and extract it (to A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0). Now you can start.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEI (both of them), your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
Do not connect your phone to the computer until you are told to do so and please don't start this tutorial with low battery
Download SP Flash Tool for Windows or Linux (I have not tried the Linux version yet so I don't know how much different the Linux version will be)
Extract SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win.zip (to SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win)
In that folder open SP Flash Tool (flash_tool.exe - preferably right-click [Run as administrator])
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which is located in A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Download Only] is selected from the drop-down menu and not [Format All + Download] nor [Firmware Upgrade]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure Recovery is the ONLY THING TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you don't ever roll back to your stock backup that you made)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the Recovery tool to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer. Done.

ROOT
Instructions For Installing Root
For a simple method, you can use KingRoot, however this may not work for everyone and flashing SuperSU is recommended instead.
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your root tool (e.g. recovery flashable SuperSU linked below) file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, NOTHING ELSE
Tap Reboot System and you're done.
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 10-15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.

TUTORIALS
How To Rollback To KitKat From Lollipop
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEI (both of them), your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which it located in the folder of wherever you extracted your custom ROM to
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Firmware Upgrade] is selected from the drop-down menu and NOT [Download Only] nor [Format All + Download]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure EVERYTHING IS TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you rolled back to someone else's dump of KK 4.4.2 and not your original backup of KK 4.4.2 that you made, IF you made one)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the firmware to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer and boot up to check if it worked
How To Flash A Zip Or Img File via Recovery (e.g. ROM, G-Apps, Patch, Kernel, etc.)
IMPORTANT: You must be on kernel 3.4.67 to flash 3.4.67 kernel based ROMs, or on kernel 3.10.54 to flash 3.10.54 kernel based ROMs.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEIs, your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.Backup your entire ROM
If flashing a ROM, wipe the standard (Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache in the [Wipe] menu (you WILL lose your Data (apps & stuff) so you BETTER have backed that up too)
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your .zip or .img file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB drive via OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache ONLY, then tap Reboot
Order of flashing queue: ROM > G-Apps > Patches
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 5, 10, or even 15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.
How To Restore IMEI
Download MTK Droid Tools v2.5.3
When opening, make sure you extract it to a new folder, else you will have clutter everywhere
Connect phone, click ROOT (necessary) in bottom right, click Yes, and on the phone grant the permission
Now you can click "IMEI/NVRAM" button and enter them, click "Replace IMEI", when done click OK, click Reboot, and click Normal
Afterwards, reboot into recovery and backup NVRAM - this contains your IMEI
NOTE: If you could not click the "IMEI/NVRAM" button, root the phone first then retry the tutorial
How To Boot Into Recovery
Whilst the phone is turned off/first time after flashing recovery:The method is actually a bit temperamental: Simultaneously press & hold both volume buttons and then press & hold the power button also (so you're now holding 3 buttons) and hold them until it vibrates AND the Lenovo logo comes onto the screen, then only let go of the power button; once you see the TWRP logo you can let go of the volume buttons
The first screen will ask you if you to confirm that you want to modify with your phone, swipe to confirm... this will not allow the phone to restore the original Lenovo Recovery
Now you're ready to flash Root tools, custom ROMs, patches, etc. that you downloaded
Whilst the phone is turned on:
Open the power menu
Tap Reboot, then immediately hold Vol+ & Vol- buttons and don't let go till it reboots and takes you to recovery menu

FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS
I flashed ... ROM and now it's not booting past the Lenovo logo, what do I do?
There's a thing called the kernel which talks with the phone's hardware. The Lenovo A5000 has two kernel versions 3.4.67 and 3.10.54. ROMs made for a certain kernel will not work on other kernel version. You either have to upgrade to Lollipop (3.10.54) or downgrade to KitKat (3.4.67).
I'm trying to flash this ... ROM but I'm getting "Error 7", what do I do?
DON'T wipe everything before flashing a custom ROM. Just do a normal factory reset i.e. clear Data, Dalvik Cache, and Cache.
Should the [email protected] kernel be flashed again after flashing a custom ROM?
If you downgraded to stock KitKat (S030) and are experiencing touch lag, then go ahead and flash it.
The kernel is already embedded in the custom ROMs shared here (exept for AICP 11), so why should you flash it again?
Some bugs like the camera bug embed itself into the Cache and a quick reflash of the kernel via recovery can temporarily fix the problem.
Can the modified boot.img of other ROMs be used for porting other ROMs?
The answer is mostly yes. Some AOSP ROMs (e.g. Validus) may have different ramdisk files, so you may get a bootloop. If you're trying to port a Cyanogen based ROM (e.g. Cyanogen..., Resurrection Remix, Temasek, etc.) you won't be getting this problem.
Which ROM and which version of it is the best?
A very subjective question so I can't answer it completely. Most users here use RR 5.7.4 or 5.5.9, CM 13 or 12.1, MiUI 8 or MiUI 7, etc. You'll have to try and choose for yourself.
Anyone working on Android 7?
Eek sounds like work. There's already an Nougat build for our device with kernel v3.10.54.
RIL is unstable and so is video decoding so wait for a stable build.
I flashed this ... ROM and now I'm getting boot animation in loop?
Use TWRP 3.x.x.x or TWRP 2.8.7.0. Stay away from other TWRP versions like 2.8.1.x, 2.8.5.x, etc.
Is OTG working?
Our device started getting OTG from the S029 update onwards officially.
OTG is accessible via ES File Explorer in custom ROMS as well.

Did You Restart Your Phone ? As I Have Already Mentioned , It Will Lag Like Hell For The First 3-5 Min , Thereafter A Restart Would Will Make It Faaar Smoother Than The Stock Rom !

I Have Every Thing Ready Except For One Thing I Am Halting The Rom , Its Coz SM-C7010 Does Not Have A TWRP , So First Get A Twrp Recovery Installed For C7010 Variants , Then I'll Upload Your Variant
UPDATE : C7010 variant support added , flash the rom via twrp ..
Hi Jesvi! Opening settings on bixby cause the application to crash. And the rom you provided works magnificently

OK. Secure wifi is also not working. And is there a way to work with Samsung pass? As the rom is rooted, Samsung pass won't work with it. Also, Smart Lock 'face unlock' works well unless a voice unlock is added but once added the app won't work well. Samsung Internet doesn't work as well and nor play store. When downloading/updating apps from play store either 192 or 419 error code is displayed showing message can't download apps. Anyway, waiting for the next update for more fixes.

1) secure wifi will be fixed in next update
2)Samsung pass will never work coz of root , instead use Google auto fill from(settings)
3)well , I think it is not possible to use two or more smart locks at the same time , anyway will t r y t o f I x I t .
4)Google play thing is your region problem or Google play lib not updated issue... just wait till Google play libs get updated ... :good:

Try some guids from xda , till i know , you have to wait 7 days before unlocking dev mode and should not turn of mobile data for a week or so to get oem unlovk feature ,
Good luck with that :good:
Woah ! this rom is awesome! Thanks everything worked perfectly fine and the dialer fix also worked good .
Can you please add eulah rom control or something like that ? To turn on night mode and stuff . It will be usefull
Debloating the rom is necessary coz i dont use most of inbuilt bloat apps
Thanks for the rom
Do you have any plans to port One ui android pie rom for this device in near future?
