Special Note:
There's been way too many revisions of this device (as of right now: about half a dozen )

We have already added support for some variants, besides the initial "rev1".

I am interested in installing this rom, the problem is that for some reason in my phone does not work any recovery other than the TWRP put in needrom for 4pda. Since that modification of TWRP can not be installed rom, could you help me find a solution to flash Johny recovery?

Use Pack-Flashtool-v5.1620.00.000 from needrom, install drivers, install TWRP from Jonny (copy MT6753_Android_scatter.txt in folder with recovery and change name TWRP-3.0.2-0-Metal.img to recovery.img and flashing).

I already did all that, and the result is the same. The only TWRP that works with those steps is modified by "hanuma50" (that is in needrom) that does not work to install this rom, the other TWRP do not work. I've also tried flashering them from the TWRP of "hanuma50" or from Flashify, the result is the same. :crying:

Go PM.

Regards, I inform you that I have been doing a series of tests on my mobile, to try to flash some existing roms. For now the following happens: The official firmware from the 20160912 and lower version do not work (I still have to try the 20161019 version), the 20161024 and 20161117 versions work correctly.
Another error, for now the one that has me more restless is the following: The only functional recovery is the TWRP of the user hanuma50 that has incompatibility with certain roms, the other versions of TWRP available do not work, when trying to install it using SPFT , Flashify or from the same TWRP are installed correctly, but at the time of running it simply restarts the mobile and starts the system normally.
I'm thinking because it is because there is surely a new batch of mobile with changes to the hardware, but I do not know, Do you know anything about it?
Another thing, if the darksense kernel flashed the mobile stops working (it enters an infinite loop with the Ulefone logo), it was tested in stock rom and in the Eragon rom.

I get an incoming or outgoing call and the phone reboots. And at any moment without cause - reboots. With a minimum brightness of the smartphone - screen flashes intermittently.

I have TWRP 3.2.0. The installation process start and stop imedietly with an error 7.

That's definitely bad news. Sounds like ulefone indeed is using different hardware in newer batches.
There's nothing we can do about it, without updated source code.
Please contact ulefone about the issue, and ask for updating kernel sources.
Only with this we can fix it

From what medium can I communicate with the ulefone team? I really want to enjoy the scene of the mobile .
What seems strange to me is that the last 2 roms stock work without problems on all devices, the same with the rom eragon (based on the firmware stock 20161024), and finally, the same with the TWRP modified by the user hanuma50 Posted on needrom (Could you keep an eye on this to understand what makes it special?), Thanks for the support and for the help.

Yes, several signs indicate that the hardware is not the same for all phone.
e.g.: With same firmware the touch panel work fine on my phone, but not on all phone.
TWRP wrote something like that: This ROM for metal your device mtk6753. ??? I don't remember exactly.

You use TWRP by Jonny?
Other TWRP unsupport.

Well then it seems there's at least two hardware revisions for Ulephone Metal.
Unfortunately, we only own one of the revisions.
Enjoy latest Nougat

But yes, focus is working fine

on stock is very difficult to focus when shooting photos on wide areas, it focuses easier on macros and close photos. I also have U13 Pro with same chipset, will you also work for that model?

U13 pro? There is no PRO version for U13

sorry, U15 pro, was a typo.
I still confirm there are some issues with focusing when shooting from medium to far distance, at least in my phone. Photos ends up a bit blurry even when tapping on the screen for focus, I'd want to see other feedbacks to understand if the problem is my model or if it's a software issue.

Oukitel U15S and Blackview R7 are way more interesting. The battery capacity isn't the greatest (2700 mAh/3000 mAh) though.
I know M.A.D. team doesn't take requests per se, but it would be interesting to see them take on one of the big screen phones (6"+):
Doogee Y6 Max, Bluboo Maya Max, Leagoo Shark 1 etc.

I was already in contact with you on Facebook about the Ramos Mos1 Max. But unfortunately, Ramos hasn't returned your inquiry.
I have contacted Bluboo, Doogee and Leagoo asking for the kernel sources.

I have the same distance focus issue on my U13 camera so it's not just your handset. I am still on stock 6.0.
I have read a review of the U13 which states that if you first focus on a foreground object and then point to the U13 camera at the distance shot you want to take and quickly take the shot, the distance picture will be focused correctly. I have tried this and it does mostly work - if you get the technique right.
This fault does seem to be a camera focus software or firmware issue. At least, I hope it's not a hardware problem! Let's hope the M.A.D. developers can improve the camera focus performance on future releases.
Do I understand that you have installed the M.A.D ROM? If so, how is the battery life compared to stock ROM please?

couldn't tell you yet because it's not my daily driver and I don't even have SIM on it, with stock rom I just used it to test it briefly the functions and flashed MAD stright away, so far standby consumption seems very good, now I'ìm running a no-stop video playback and will report you how many hours will it reach.
I've read the battery is a not a real 3000mah but a 2300mah unit, so I don't expect miracles.
A real shame because the phone is GORGEUS and has a build quality able to rival phones with three times the price, but battery is really limitating, could and should have been better.

Yes, I read that about the battery having less capacity than advertised. If true, it's not the sort of behaviour that will build brand loyalty to Oukitel. If the camera functioned correctly and the battery was as advertised, I would be really pleased with my U13 purchase. Instead, I'm trying hard not to regret the purchase.
Just a heads up: I always run the Chinese Backdoor Malware Check app on any Chinese handset I buy (and I buy a few). On the U13 (stock rom) the app reports potential malware backdoors of fota.sysoper and/or adups.fota baked into the rom (can't uninstall without root). Don't know if the app is correctly reporting the facts, but it doesn't look good.
I was wondering if the MAD rom has these malware backdoors installed? Since the MAD rom is based on the stock rom as supplied by Oukitel.

AICP
Android Ice Cold Project
AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago (2012) and since then has evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community that you can find!!!
Until Lollipop, the Rom has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM.
With the re-brand of CM to LineageOS (LAOS) we are now LAOS based with some tweaks from AOSP.
If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out or the LAOS team will if it concerns their code base. This rom isn't LAOS supported, so no need to report errors/bugs to them!!
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Hard & a lot.

FAQ:
Before using the ROM:
Q. Can I have an ETA for the next build?
A. Yes, just look in the OP to see if your device is built on a nightly or weekly schedule.
Q. Does this ROM support custom kernels?
A. No. You can still use them, but discussion should go in the thread of the respective kernel. We don't offer support for bugs you might encounter while using them!
Q. Why doesn't this ROM support Xposed?
A. Xposed is a hack that is geared towards AOSP, custom ROM's modify the framework a lot, so Xposed can cause a ton of issues on custom ROM's. Now it might work for you, however it is not to be discussed in this thread, and you should refrain from posting bug reports.
Q. Alright, but I still want to flash Xposed, so which version do I need to install?
A. You will need to use the version arm64/arm/whatever for SDK 27.
Flashing the ROM:
Q. What do I need to know before flashing?
A. Check the install instructions in the first post...
Q. Can the builds be dirty flashed over each other?
A. Yes, however make a nandroid backup first as there is a chance of getting a bootloop or encountering bugs. Also bugs may only be reported on a clean flash.
Q. How do I dirty flash builds?
A. Wipe the System, Cache and ART/Dalvik cache. Flash the ROM, GApps (only needed if you wipe the system), your preferred root solution and reboot. Or just use the OTA app to preform that task for you.
Q. How do I flash kernel builds?
A1. If it's a .img file, boot into TWRP and go to the install page in TWRP, in the bottom right corner select "install image", select the desired kernel, then select "boot", then swipe to flash, then go back to the install screen and install your root method again, if you don't want to loose root and reboot.
A2. If it's a flashable ZIP, you can flash it together with a ROM update or separately. Go to the install page in TWRP, choose the kernel zip (or add it to the flash queue right after the ROM zip). Then add your root method to the queue if you don't want to loose root. Now swipe to flash, and then reboot.
Using the ROM:
Q. How do I enable software buttons?
A. Go to Aicp Extras/Navigation bar, and enable it.
Q. I installed a bad theme and now I'm getting a bootloop, how do I fix it?
A. In TWRP, flash the substratum rescue zip that's in the substratum folder on the internal storage.
Q. I keep losing root with Magisk, how do I fix it?
A. Check this out. If that doesn't work for you, ask for help in this thread, read or ask in the Magisk thread on XDA or just re-flash Magisk!
Q. I'm having issues with WhatsApp, how do I fix it?
A. Read this
Q. Do I need to provide a logcat if I'm reporting a bug?
A. If you want it to be fixed faster (or at all) then yes, you should definitely provide a logcat. (Note: Please just link the logcat from your GDrive, Dropbox, etc. and do not post the content here. Thanks.
Q. How do I get a logcat, what type should I get and more questions that can conveniently be answered by my pre-determined answer?
A1. Read this thoroughly. Also, here's a good app for getting logs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog (Root needed).
A2. If you are already rooted, you can use the built-in feature to make a logcat and provide that. Just look into the others section in the AICP Extras main page.
The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Oreo. You don't need to install any Add-on's, simply download the latest ROM, GApps, flash it and go!
If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.
It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.
How to flash:
(Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!)
1. Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.
2. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.
4. Flash the ROM Zipfile.
5. Flash the GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work).
6. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
7. Reboot your device.
The ROM has GApps persistence in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once!
The root solution should be flashed together with every OTA update (= ROM Update)
Currently Supported Root Solutions:
Magisk stable
Magisk versions higher than 14.0 doesn't require flash on every dirty flash depending on the deivce, some devices need you to flash it every time, unless your maintainer says otherwise it should be fine

Please fix wifi. I am having problem connecting to a hidden SSID wifi. Needs to restart many times to connect. Thank you.

This rom is pretty fast.

Thank you very much for the new rom.
I've been try to root the cell but I haven't been able to do it. I have unsuccessfully tried some times doing a full wipe each time. First, I have flashed the new recovery through the official TWRP app and as I have understood we should flash rom and gapps at the same time (I have select them in this order) and after the first boot flash supersu or Magisk (I have tried with both). Please, could you provide support about this? I am doing something wrong?
I have seen that you recommend to use the f2fs file system. I have been looking for the partitions to format with this file system and I think that should be data and cache. Am I right about this?

AICP
Android Ice Cold Project
AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago (2012) and since then has evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community that you can find!!!
Until Android Lollipop, the ROM has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM.
With the re-brand of CM to LineageOS (LOS) we became LineageOS based with some tweaks from AOSP and then changed to be based on the "Ground Zero Open Source Project" (GZOSP) for Android Pie.
We changed again for Android Q with a base of AOSP repositories and some additions from LineageOS for device specific repositories.
If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out, if it concerns our code base. This ROM isn't LineageOS supported, so there is no need to report errors/bugs to them!!
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Hard & a lot.

Q. Does this ROM support custom kernels officially?
A. No. You can still use them, but discussion should go in the thread of the respective kernel. We don't offer support for bugs you might encounter while using them!
Q. Why doesn't this ROM support Xposed?
A. Xposed is a hack that is geared towards AOSP. Custom ROMs modify the framework a lot, so Xposed can cause a ton of issues on custom ROMs. Now it might work for you, however it is not to be discussed in this thread, and you should refrain from posting bug reports.
Q. Alright, but I still want to flash Xposed, so which version do I need to install?
A. Information about Xposed, EdXposed or Riru Core can be obtained from the XPosed General forums .
Flashing the ROM:
Q. What do I need to know before flashing?
A. Check the flashing instructions...
Q. Can the builds be dirty flashed over each other?
A. Yes, this is the usual behaviour on flashing a new official build by (or using) the build-in updater service.
Q. How do I 'dirty flash' builds?
A. Wipe the System, Cache and ART/Dalvik cache. Flash the ROM, GApps (only needed if you wipe the system), your preferred root solution and reboot. Or just use the OTA app to preform that task for you.
Q. How do I flash kernel builds?
A1. If it's a .img file, boot into TWRP and go to the install page in TWRP, in the bottom right corner select "install image", select the desired kernel, then select "boot" as the destination, then swipe to flash, then go back to the install screen and install your root method again, if you don't want to loose root and reboot.
A2. If it's a flashable ZIP, you can flash it together with a ROM update or separately. Go to the install page in TWRP, choose the kernel zip (or add it to the flash queue right after the ROM zip). Then add your root method to the queue if you don't want to loose root. Now swipe to flash and reboot afterwards.
Using the ROM:
Q. I installed a bad theme and now I'm getting a bootloop, how do I fix it?
A. In TWRP, flash the substratum rescue zip that's in the substratum folder on the internal storage.
Q. I'm having issues with WhatsApp, how do I fix it?
A. Read this
Q. Do I need to provide a logcat if I'm reporting a bug?
A. If you want it to be fixed faster (or at all) then yes, you should definitely provide a logcat AND the model name. (Note: Please just link the logcat from your GDrive, Dropbox, etc. and do not post the content here. Thanks.)
Q. How do I get a logcat, what type should I get and more questions that can conveniently be answered by my pre-determined answer?
A1. Read this thoroughly. Also, here's a good app for getting logs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog (Root needed).
A2. If you are already rooted, you can use the built-in feature to make a logcat and provide that. Just look into the others section in the AICP Extras main page.
The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Q. You don't need to install any Add-ons, simply download the latest ROM and GApps, then follow the flashing instructions and go!
If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.
It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup (or with any backup/restore app) as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug, restoring regular apps is fine though.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.
How to flash for the first time:
(Again: Don't do it if you don't know!)
1. Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.
2. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Wipe the System, Cache, and Data (you might need to format the data partition!).
4. Flash the ROM Zipfile.
5. Flash the GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work), GApps are already included for some a/b devices.
6. Reboot and set up your device, enable developer settings and in them OEM unlock/Advanced reboot/USB tethering.
7. Reboot back into TWRP recovery.
8. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
9. Reboot your device.
The procedure may vary from device to device and is a bit different on system updates!
The ROM has GApps persistence in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once! This might differ on AvB Devices.
Currently supported Root Solution:
Magisk stable
Magisk versions >= 20.3 don't usually need to be flashed on every dirty flash.
Depending on the device, you may need to flash it every time, unless your maintainer says otherwise, you should be fine.

Can notification led colour be customised in this rom? Do they work? Asking since this feature ain't working in Pie based Roms.

it can be customised via certain apps which supports them like whatsapp and telegram and others which supports, else there is only option to customize battery led notification atm.

Sometimes I'm getting trouble with laggy yt playback. When this is happening, I also do not have any sound from phone's speaker. Restarting helps, but is there a chance that it will be fixed?

Hey, I've done what You suggested. We will see, how this will work. First good sign - after flashing with new kernel, I was able to push titanium backup and lucky patcher via properly connected adb (wasn't able to do so on stock kernel in aicp q15, not sure why), while I wasn't able to install it normally via system, despite having all safety ticks turned off.

Thank you, first of all, for your work and dedication. I would like to know if lockscreen have middle shortcuts. I'm with RR nougat and I find them extremely useful.

First of all, thanks for this new ROM.
About the feature on :-
"Custom In-Display fingerprint icons
Custom In-Display fingerprint recognising animations"
Does it mean fingerprint authentication feature ?? but I cannot find them ?

Just leave it. Our device not have fingerprint tho. Will fix that later

got it thank you ?

I haven't used this ROM but a few minutes but it would be nice if you could customize back button and menu button to bring up recents

This is the rom I have been waiting for. I wish more roms have OTA. I have seen SuperiorOS as well and it seems it does have OTA too. It is a must for me because I'm too lazy to update. AOD is not a must for me but Bluetooth and Notification Light is pretty important for me. Which rom would you advise Superior or AICP? Superior seems to be more active

This on also active. Im still maintained it. But need some free time to make it. This rom dont have OTA yet since it unofficial build. Once it become official, maybe OTA works. It hard to me to recommend which roms prefer. All roms have their own features. You can choose which roms that suit with yourself. That why we build lot of roms for this old device to keep it alive.

love this roms, I'm using N9005 International version, this is unnofficial rom but I think this is the most stable rom for our old devices. I tried many other AOSP/LOS based roms but gets overheat, and battery drain so fast even that was official build. many thanks bro.

您好，请问一下阁下，USB连接电脑后一直不弹出USB调试窗口怎么办？导致电脑和手机连接软件都无法使用，而且已在开发人员选项打开USB调试，这是刷过很多ROM里面第一次发现的问题！9005版本，不过这个ROM真的超级喜欢，希望阁下尽快解决或告知解决办法，谢谢你的付出
Hello, excuse me, what can I do if the USB debugging window doesn't pop up after USB is connected to the computer? As a result, the computer and mobile phone connection software can not be used, and the developer has opened the USB debugging option, which is the first time found in many ROM! 9005 version, but I really like this Rom. I hope you can solve it as soon as possible or tell us the solution. Thank you for your efforts

make sure that you have usb debugging enabled in developer options and turn on file transfer in selected usb mounting options, as sometimes the device wont show in adb devices if its in charging mode
also make sure to have adb up and running, type adb devices in console of your pc to start the daemon process and the device will pop up on authorizing your pc for debugging. this should be straightforward at this point
