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.

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. 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.

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.
Long story short,my class got supended for the week cuz a friend broke another's head because of trolling in Facebook and whatsapp. So new roms ......maybe

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:

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.

WELCOME!

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.

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.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock android for your device.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo.
Important info:
ROM OS Version: 7.1.2 Nougat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4
- Note: Warning! You are the only responsible of your actions, and especially of your use of your phone. Neither I, neither XDA, are responsible of your handling with your phone.
- Note: You must have unlock your bootloader on sony's page
- Note: You need to use the stock bootloader. If you switched to the Open Device Bootloader (D2203), please flash again the old bootloader. Here you have FTF file: (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B07I-JdP5dQzSWs3SW1uYXVsWjg/view?usp=sharing). If you don’t remember the process, you can check it on Google.
Working
All
Almost working
Cameras are not fully working. You can take panorama pictures but no videos nor photos (with Snap app). In some other apps you can take them sometimes. In cameringo for example you can take everything. Fixed on V4!
Known issues
WiFi MAC address is a default address because TA is not being read yet. We are working to fix it. This only makes that some WiFi networks does not allow your phone to connect because another device with the same address is connected, but this is not usual so you shouldn't have problems with that. Fixed on V4!
Audio bugs:
Songs may pause randomly after some time and continue after some secs.
Some games might have a laggy audio problem (Pokémon Go for example).
Download
You have to download the latest version of boot.img, recovery.img and system.img or flashable zip from this link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B07I-JdP5dQzM1FRbXY4bGt4VzQ?usp=sharing
For Google apps (Play Store, Google account...) go to http://opengapps.org/, choose Arm for Android 7.1 and select any variant you want. We recommend Pico variant as is the smalles one (you can choose stock if you want Pixel launcher).
Install
You need to install adb and fastboot. If you don’t know how to do that, click on the link down below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Then, in your file explorer, go to « This computer » and search for the file « adb ».
Next, put files in the folder « adb ». Hold shift and click (right click). Then click on « open terminal » or do « cd » (you need to find the location of your file « adb »).
Boot your phone in Bootloader/fastboot (this is the exact same thing but with different names depending on how you call it).
Before all, you have to start cleaning the device so do a wipe then:
In the terminal, type the command « fastboot devices »
You should see something like this for example :
Code:
CVH7N15B11004115 fastboot
If it isnt’t the case
go to Device Manager
Find your phone
Click on properties
Update the driver for your phone
Choose « Bootloader interface » and retry the command « fastboot device »
Now, you’ve done a big part of the work! You only have to type the following commands.
Commands
Code:
1. fastboot flash boot "name of boot".img
2. (Starting from V4 - 2020-01-23) fastboot flash FOTAKernel "name of recovery".img
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]3. Boot TWRP with Vol - and flash LineageOS zip[/COLOR]
[B][COLOR="Red"]IMPORTANT:[/COLOR] Only if Magisk was automatically installed after flashing LineageOS zip and after the first reboot the ROM is not booting:[/B] [COLOR="SeaGreen"]Flash again any boot.img with fastboot or TWRP (using "Install image" option)[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"][STRIKE]fastboot –S 256M flash system "name of system".img[/STRIKE] (that was for v1 && v2 )[/COLOR]
You will boot into your new ROM.
IMPORTANT!
If your Xperia E3 model is D2202 or D2212 (3G-only single and dual SIM variants) you may need to flash an additional firmware zip in order to get SIM card working if it does not work after the first boot. Here you have the link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B07I-JdP5dQzRG83U2d2aXBmUWM?usp=sharing
Note that there is a zip for each variant, but this is only to avoid confusion. Both are the same zip and you can flash any of them.
Extras
Now all you have to do is to flash the GAPPs in the recovery.
For Magisk go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
and download Magisk app and zip (ONLY FOR VERSIONS BEFORE V4: using the boot named Magisk) and its corresponding Magisk version.

Changelog
- note only last change will be post ( change log for v1 and v2 was remove )
New release 14/02/20 v4.1
Fixed a sensors bug introduced on V4. Now sensors should work as before.
New release 23/01/20 v4
Recovery is now independent from Boot partition! Now you should flash recovery image to FOTAKernel using fastboot or to "recovery" partition using TWRP. With this measure you can flash any Magisk version without waiting us to update boot.img.
Camera fully working now! Torch also works. The only thing you can't do is to enable Noise Reduction on Snap as it is not supported on Stock ROM
Bluetooth and WiFi addresses are now fine. They should be the same as the stock ones.
Compass may work better.
New release 06/01/18 v3
Tethering works now (in WiFi, BT and USB)
NFC works perfectly now
Now no user needs to flash additional firmware blobs This is not always working.
Camera working partially (I recommend you taking photos with panoramic mode and videos with other apps, like Instagram)
TWRP 3.2.1
Magisk v15.2 is now supported
Sony's framework is preinstalled, you are able to download Sony's Apps from Google Play
Safety net passed using Magisk+Magisk Hide

it here so people can see. I do not take any

OxygenOS
PIE
OxygenOS OB20 from OnePlus 5t
No Notch
Warning:This is an open beta build, more bugs might expected to be added from time to time.
Bugs:
- noise cancellation (turn off in : open dialer app -> 3 dot upper corner right -> setting -> noise cancellation)
- rest is same like OP6 20181211 Build but these are fixed :
> system update app fc (dont flash these ota it may lead to brick)
> notch
- might be more
Notes:
- If u are coming from OOS OnePlus 6, do a clean flash.
- Do a force reboot after doing this : Open Power Menu -> Power Off -> wait till vibrates -> Force Reboot by pressing power button
if u didnt followed that, there's a risk of unstability system and might lead to bootloops
- The op6 vold patch for shutdown reboot fix + op6 miuicamera tweak section is work with this build of 5T, remember to follow its instruction first
- Rest is mostly same like OP6 20181211
- Reflash the rom might helps if u got some statbar issues

how to install a GSI Q on motorola z play (Addison)
Luckily, I just installed StagOs and the camera and sim card work, I think it is a long process, remember to mount system and vendor when flash fix them
read the instructions before starting
telegram groups where you can download GSI
http://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEjIRhZRX1mOZpLR5g @erfanGSI
requirements:
1- Rom Cosmic
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/co...son_8.1.0_20180807_3.2-OFFICIAL.zip/download)
2- Rom Xperience 13
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/xp...13.0.0-20200112-NIGHTLY-addison.zip/download)
3- GSI image
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/am...20/StagOS-10-arm64-a-vanilla.img.xz/download)
4-Permisive v4
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-3fC1HawtLY36lVc5TcfvD_0AE2FJ0vs/view?usp=drivesdk)
5- fix camera
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-DZXHXPr2XdC0guB62vLEXVNhE4pD0oA/view?usp=drivesdk)
6- OpenGapps
(https://opengapps.org/)
7- Magisk phh
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2G8IKt_0xgYNx55SUTX3FAQxJBZpmtz/view?usp=drivesdk)
GSI a only
ion os
https://sourceforge.net/projects/amber-gsi/files/ION/ion-2.4.b-arm64-a-gapps.img.xz/download
installation:
1-install the rom cosmic without gapps (just the rom and boot it) after returning to recovery and doing a backyp of the vendor
2-After backup, mount system and vendor in flash xpe 13, do not restart return to mount and mount system and flash GSI image,
and then flash permissive 4v
-reboot system
3- the rom must start but the camera or the sim card does not work, after starting the Rom return to recovery restore the backup of the cosmic vendor and restart the system, at startup the sim card must work
4-after the rom starts restarting the fix camera in recovery and flash and restarting the camera should work maybe it takes a moment for the camera to work (remember to mount system and vendor)
5-now we are going to install the Gapps download the most recent ones I use the nano we are going to recovery and flash the gapps and restart
6-Finally flash the magisk phh (optional) should use this magisk if they use another one does not start the rom, just restart and flash magisk phh and restart
luck if you find more GSI which functions share the ?
camera work

The newer kernel (boot)
You can flash roms A/B with XPerience 13 as vendor it boots but you have broken Ril and camera
system-quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img was tested and works
I tried this method and it's working very well, except that UI is flickering on all GSI's and for ION System UI is crashing.
For example Google Play's left menu, Kernel Adiutor Menu or Firefox tabs list have bugged background and it's switching constantly between black and white theme.

set 650mhz the GPU it should help and the main problem is the older Adreno libs from android 8.0
It's not working, it's not the same problem as in Xperience, beacuse some elements is not rendering in interface.
I will post a video of that.
which GSI ROM combination is currently the most stable + has support for Bluetooth, WiFi and Camera?
After digging on xda for fixes, I made a StagOS working perfectly.
Performance as on XPE or even better, Bluetooth working ( audio too ), no UI lags or glitches, nfc working, autobrightness. I haven't seen any bug.
Tell me if I should make a full list of my steps, cause it's quite long
Please do, I'm very interested in testing a working gsi rom
