Tried the links from MIUI forum and didn't work. Some users were also reporting touch issues in TWRP.
Finally tried this set of files from Willy Willyam @homeandroidapk.blogspot, and voila!

Have you tried flashing the latest Mi4c ROM from the European forum? Would you have to reset the phone to flash the ROM? What are the differences between the European ROM vs. the Chinese one? Sorry, so many questions, but I really wanna ditch the Chinese ROM asap.
I would link the ROM but apparently I'm not allowed since I'm new here. It's part of release 5.10.8

thanks for that great help
If there are English recoveries out there, just flash one over your existing one. I think that's the best advice you'll get without us knowing what device you have.

htc one x clone
android version 4.1.9
baseband 4.0
kernel 1.28.708.10
build 4.12
custom build htcextention-403-1-ga-7
thanks for a decent reply and i hope this will help you to help me
many thanks
Ah. If it's a clone, that's gonna be harder, as there's no way to know beforehand that a certain custom recovery .img will work. I think you have 3 choices:
Find out from someone else who has your same device
Try flashing a custom recovery designed for another device (such as the real HTC One X)
Stay with what you've got
If you choose #2, the changes could be irrecoverable. That's just part of the deal when you buy a clone, unfortunately.
I'm beginning to notice thaton some of the newest nightly ROMS arent allowing my Photon Q to be flashed with some of the newer versions. I just tried flashing the newest CM11 nightly for the Photon Q and it wouldn't allow me(July 1). This also happened when I tried to use Kitstalk and the newest Liquid Smooth nightly(July 1). I tried using CWM 6.0.4.4 and TWRP 2.7.1.0, but I kept the getting same error message saying I need to have a 4.4 bootloader. Is there any way to update the bootloader or get around this?

Thanks for the reply guys. These pieces of information are really hidden, I think other than Carbon, all other ROMS aren't even letting people know the XT897 is no longer supported for the newer versions of their releases.

Assuming you only use CM11, sure maybe. Their wiki pays no mention to it when this was implemented. The unified build wiki article is one of the first hits you get when a newbie is searching to root and flash custom roms. But what about other ROMs out there? This forum seems to be the main hub for everything Photon Q, but yet i've found numerous ROMs that aren't advertised here.

yep, right.. for me is only cyanogen.. i forgot about other roms..
I am still on the stock 5.0 ROM and was looking to change it up. I have not been on Android since the original EVO 4G so I am a bit lost. I already have root and TWRP recovery on. I am looking for an optimized ROM that is close to stock. I have looked at LiquidSmooth but it looks like that is only 4.4 and I saw xtrasmooth but could not find the download link. Could someone provide a link to good stable ROM that is easy to flash? Also should gapps be flashed immediately after flashing the rom? Thanks in advance.

Every ROM is easy to flash. Just look in the Development or Original Development section, there's plenty to choose from. Also, the first posts usually state whether you need to flash Gapps or not.

I know how to flash, but I am just not sure which ROM to use. So many of them have a bunch of different acronyms in the title that I have absolutely no idea what they mean. Also some of them require you to also flash a kernel or a radio which would complicate things a bit further. Just looking for something that contains everything I need. Also for gapps, my question was if I should be flashing it immediately after flashing the ROM while still in recovery or if I should reboot first then go back into recovery?

Kernel or radio shouldn't be needed anywhere, maybe just in case of F2FS. There are many great ROMs to choose from, just pick one and try it out. Just be sure to read the OP. Also, you won't be able to boot into the system properly if Gapps are missing. Some ROMs have them included, others don't.

Thanks for your help. I have been looking at this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...v3-0-hammerhead-t2616300/page713#post58172446
In the title it states 4.4.4/5.0.2. What is meant by that? Which one is it? Is it as simple as booting into recovery, wiping all, flashing the ROM, flash gapps, and rebooting?

It's best if you read descriptions of roms at their thread. Also is good to read some feedback and reports by people who allready flash it. But the best way to figure it out, which rom is best for you, is to flash it by yourself.

I do read the descriptions, but there are some things that I don't understand being new. A lot of those threads already assume that you should know what these things mean. I couldn't figure out the liquidsmooth rom since it looks like they stopped development in December and the only gapps I found is for a different version. So I got kind of confused as to what I needed.

Understand that. But if you ask something like you, you will get a lot a different answers which can just confused you a little more. Also, you will get the answers by people who do not have same taste/expectations like you. So, best way is to figure it out by yourself.

I would suggest Cyanogenmod. Its very easy to install and very customizable, its close to stock as you wanted, there are stable versions and nightlies(can be unstable/bring small updates/improvements), cyanogenmod version 11 is based on kitkat,however cyanogenmod 12 stable version is in the works and it is based on lollipop, but there are nightlies out now.
Hi all,
first, sorry for my english and second sorry because probably i'm asking something you allready answered 100 times..
I have a new 702L (great phone, i love it) running the stock rom b006, i installed twrp and rooted it. Just for your understanding, i'm not a "beginner" but also not an expert and i always flashed roms (Samsung Note 1, iocean G7, Coolpad 9976t) by cwm or twrp, not by adb/fastboot.
Only i don't really understand some things, mayby i didn't find the correct infos but are there some custom roms for the 702 or "only" for the 703? The way to flash it is for me a little bit to hard to understand and i'm not sure if i would brick my 702..
I would like to have multiwindows and double tap to wake.
No chance to flash only a zip by twrp like my old phones?
Thank for your help, if there is a explanation in a other thread so please give me an info delete my question here.
Have a great 2016, greets from the italian Alps.

Practically there are NO really custom ROMs for MediaPad X2. Only customized stock ROMs (debloated and heavy debloated of chinese trtash AND original from China - KangVIP version of stock ROMs (with many improvements) like that what you want:

BUT!! Upgrades for european (GEM-701) AND Hong-Kong(GEM-702) versions are very sparse. Only for chinese version (GEM-703) upgrades are quite regular and even expanded KangVIP ROM is destined for GEM-703. So some people found a way to flash GEM-703's firmware to other versions because hardware differences are minimal, if any... In that way owner of GEM-702 achieved possibility to use more functions and/or ability to OTA upgrades designed for GEM-703 ( in near future Android 6 which beta version was spotted on chinese servers)

Sorry, NO. It is more complicated and needs more study. All info you can find in "MediaPad X2 Android Development" forum.
EDIT//
Just now I looked into forum and have seen news from our leading developer @ajsmsg78 - he developed new custom ROM with Google functionality. Info in thread [ROM] [5.1.1] Simply Google **01/05/2016**
Thank you for all this infos. ?

I'm kind of new to this, but I saw a video of ONE UI running on the OnePlus 6 and 6t, but it day that they port that Rom, will I be able to install that Rom on the OnePlus 7 Pro for example? Or install a Android Q beta Rom via TWRP without port/support? Or does it has to be ported or compatible with the device?
Theoretically you should be able to flash A/B GSIs (note that the OnePlus 6 uses A only GSIs! There's a difference! Grab the AB GSIs!). Don't expect things to work properly. It might boot. It might not.

There's a handful of ROMs available now in their respective threads here on XDA. They all have instructions on installation.
Yep, go to the Development section and study the roms. Then Flash away...

ROMs are built for a specific device and can be ported and maintained. There are a few that you need to flash in TWRP as per their specific instructions and a few that you can flash in magisk. You need to research and all the information you need is usually on XDA with each ROM in the development section. If it's not there, it probably doesn't exist or is done by a Dev who does not associate with XDA. Make sure you are familiar with nandroid backup and restore, root, TWRP and all the flashing methods associated with each. The instructions are all there and Google is your friend. Most issues you may experience are already brought forth and that's what the search function is for, but if you follow the instructions, you shouldnt have any issues.
