Hey there,
I am thinking of buying the ZenFone 4 Pro.
I have a Huawei P8 lite (2015), and I regret buying a phone which does not get any custom roms.
I saw that there was a LineageOS for the ZenFone 2, but could not find anything for the ZenFone 3 or 4?
Is there some issue which prevents people of creating one for the ZenFone 4, or just noone is working on it?
Thanks in advance for information
seems pretty dead in that point but it's because this phone has market issues (low availability) and only a 2 months ago ASUS release a working bootloader unlock tool. Right now you can only root it.

I just want to install custom recovery, so i can do backup of the whole internel memory.
Dont want to install any ROM for now.
Does any TWRP recovery would work on Zenfone 4 Pro?
The official recovery doesnt have much option, only clear cache, factory reset as you know.
I have just received ZS551KL and this is my first day with it after 4 years with Sony Xperia Z2. I have unlocked bootloader (very easy), rooted and installed TWRP Recovery.
This is the only smartphone I have found that has all my needings: FM Radio, NFC, jack 3,5", high quality cam, ecc
ZenUI is good, easy to use and low bloatware but I need a nice Custom ROM. I hope there are some developers working on it because this is a great smartphone.
I have received it with Android 7.1.1 and no update to 8 for the moment Do you know if it is possible to update using Fake GPS or similar?
I am starting now with it, so if you have any question, I can answer them.
Anyone with a good room for ze554kl?

Hey there !
I opened a thread on the "device request" section of Cyanogenmod's forum. Please visit and tell them how much you'd love to have CM on Zenfone 3. More we will be, more chances we have to motivate some skillfull guy to port CM on our phones

Thank you guys

You are both correct and incorrect.
Some Zenfone 3 can be rooted but not all versions.
Thanks to Asus's insanity for giving the same name to phones with different hardware and software, you can't make a blanket statement about the Zenfone 3 and cover all the models (outside of they all are phones and sold under the Asus brand). The ZE versions are indeed rootable but the ZC versions are hit and miss.
For ZC551KL too, its a low budget phone and the only alternative to Huawei/Honor in canada. STOP MAKING CNM ROMS ONLY FOR BOURGEOIS' PHONE.
Same same here, please help us. Last update simbricked the phone! They released a downgrade and now no more update.
Asus makes great phones with ****ty software. Great opportunity as a side dish to be the frst one ever to release a rom!
Please cyanogen team, we have no viable alternative as vanilla rom is crap.

I have the ZE520KL version. But I'm not able to root it. Su tells me to update binary but it fail. I unlocked the boot loader and flashed the twrp recovery. Then flashed the root files with su. Have I missed some necessary step?
Would be nice if someone can help. Cause I really want xposed back on my new phone.

Hello Everyone!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to get the Honor Note 10, or the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. While the former clearly shows strength in terms of processing power, design etc., the later one has a major advantage in software due to it having treble support.
Hence, if I may ask to those of you who already have the phone, is the device treble enabled? I currently have my OnePlus 5 running Android Pie because of treble, and I would like to have my secondary phone be as flexible as well! I am highly aware that the bootloader unlock requires a paid service, but a few dollars for having barebones AOSP roms would be something I look forward to.
Thank you in advance to those who'll answer!

Treble???

Yeah! So that it may be possible to flash GSI roms
Hi,
As Huawei doesn't allow to unlock the bootloader, you won't be able to install any GSI to it...
Some people report to have managed to unlock it with a paid option and to install TWRP.
But I am almost certain that even if they did and assuming a GSI will install and boot, you'll end up with a crippled device with features missing or not working...
I'd like to see that also but I think for now I'll stick to stock to no get stuck ,?

Well, maybe we could find workarounds for it... But I do understand your point with having incompatible roms.. I have bricked a device before because of it. But I hope someone knowledgable could look into this, especially those who work on the Honor 10 and Honor View 10 . Anyways, I guess I'll just try by myself, got my unit just today :fingers-crossed:
Is Note 10 a A only device?
Hi everyone,
I got my p20 at release so I have the unlocked bootloader
After a few months of getting along with EMUI, the newest version (EMUI9) is just pissing me off with bugs and terrible performance.
I tried installing TWRP but it doesent work (cant touch any of the UI in twrp.)
In the Forum i read it has to do with EMUI9, so my question is:
Is there any way to get TWRP to work and install roms or do i have to wait for an TWRP update?
Just downgrade to emui 8, you have to do it through PC app. Just search for updates and there should be line to downgrade.
how to get unlocked bootloader code now ?

Is there a good starting guide for treble roms? I got the bootloader unlocked and thats it. It's kirin 970 if that makes any difference. SHould i downgrade to emui 8?

I know this reply is a bit late but anyway,
Openkirin released a build of Resurrection Remix 7.0.1 for EMUI 9 devices this week, and it looks like the P20 is on the supported list. GApps and stock Huawei camera are preinstalled. It might be your best bet for compatibility.
I was going to try it out myself but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet (but have the code) and to be honest EMUI 9 is good enough for me as a daily driver, I can't find a good enough reason to flash.
EDIT 21/04/19: Unlocked my bootloader and installed RR 7 and touchscreen doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Same thing with Omnirom. Going back to stock for now. Devs on the Telegram support said to wait for the next build.

Yeah, but following this forum I have noticed that many users encounter problems like not working fingerprint scanner or hotspot on treble based ROMs.
Or maybe you can point on on some Android Oreo ROM working properly on P20? (Want Oreo because of Xposed, not sure if it is already ported to Pie)
Apearently software-wise Huawei is still as bad as it was 5 years ago (still remember and hate my Huawei G6), because when bought this phone (P20) hoped that at least it supports treble... sadly - just partially

Me too haha.
You could try it yourself if you really wanted to, it seems to be a hit or miss whether people have this bug or not. A dev told me a few other P10s have the problem while his own P10 works fine. I haven't seen many P20 users though.
Previously I have owned phones by Vivo Oppo and Oneplus but I am new to Realme. What are the chances that this phone gains TWRP and/or any custom ROMs? Thanx
Really hard to say. The custom rom / twrp development has been really slow on the Realme X2 Pro, which means that not a lot of devs are working on Realme hardware.
On the other hand. The development of the XT is quite Good.
I don't think it's coming any soon
Also I think realme doesn't allow unlocking bootloader in EU.
I just hope they don't follow the footsteps from OPPO, which unlocking bootloader is a pain of the butt.
Is any possibility to get MIUI here ... i'm gonna pre order that thing but really want MIUI.
Be a little patient. Its gonaa be a while before we see something here.
Kernel Source out just about 12 hours ago...
https://github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realmeX50pro_AndroidQ-kernel-source
Kernel Source
Yes I made a post about it because someone wanted my help if they ran into issues on an X50 custom kernel I thought they meant X50 Pro and found the source code. Anybody attempt compiling it yet?
Regarding roms.... I compares network bands in Chinese and global versions. Look same so if I buy Chinese version can I upgrade software with EU rom (realme UI already) and get multilanguage? Or it will brick device?
It's not possible to flash global ROM on CN device.

I'm, wasn't possible on X2 Pro, which I had before this device and is still not possible on X50 Pro. I tried myself...
On X2 Pro people said because of different partitions or / and sizes.

Hi,
Are you already working on one or more custom rom?

Can you even find fastboot roms for this phone? I found a site with the roms, but they're all the recovery roms. I'm thinking of buying the new X50 Pro Player variant, but I don't have a lot of information regarding custom roms for the X50 Pro which isn't a good sign for the X50 Pro Player.
is there anyone who can post me a fastboot rom for rmx 2076 version? thanks
Hi,
I want to get my bootloader unlocked for snapdragon version but I there are not many roms available.

Any idea when we can get them.
Thanks

Snapdragon can't be rooted past bootloader 2. As far as roms go, there are only stock roms, but somewhere on the forum its mentioned about GSI roms, but VOLTE is broken because its always been a samsung issue and not much work being done. I'm sure there are a few people out there working on personal builds, but nothing released to the public that I've seen. (Aside from Exynos)
