Hi guys, I'm contemplating to upgrade my tytn to either WM 6.0 or 6.1. Due to quite a few choices available, which version of WM 6.0 and 6.1 should I choose ? Your opinion is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
William
So many people ask this... Its really a personal choice, you REALLY need to read the description of whats in the rom and the last few pages of comments from people who have flashed the rom.
What is good for me may not be for you.
So saying I use the new 21109 build 21109 ROM by TAI_sw, with a bit of surgery for the 1st and 2nd flash screens and a special blend of apps. It seems to be stable and quick, but its early days yet...
Cheers...
Yeah, go and confuse the poor guy...
Personally, I have two favorites right now:
1) Schnap's Windows Mobile 6 Pro - It has great visual appeal, excellent visual coherence, and it's fast. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with it is that it's outdated.
2) PDACornerPro V27 - Great visuals and very fast. Visually, I prefer Schnap's over the PDACornerPro, but PDACornerPro is updated. Most important of all, at least from my opinion,is that it has a perfectly working 'HTC Youtube' app.
Currently, I am using the second one, and I am very happy with it.

Hello everyone
First of all, awesome forum and lots of respect to u all!
I just have a small but important question, Im in the market for a HTC Blackstone and is the anything in particular I should think of before buying it? Like ROM version etc?
I've had mine a few months now and delighted with it. The standard ROM was OK, but it was transformed when I start trying new ROMS's.
Have tried a fair few and currently using Dutty's 6.5 Leo R4 ROM. It's fantastic. Stable, fast and has everthing I need on it.
Way better than those feckin' Apple phones which I briefly looked at!!

I just bought an unused Omnia II i920 off Ebay - It should be here in a week or so. So, I'd like to know...what ROM do you think is the best?
As some background, I'm coming from the i910. I'm currently using Lioryte's latest, with Titanium turned off and SPB MS3.5 with Mskip's enhancements. It's a thing of beauty, and took the Omnia from virtually unuseable to awesome. (I was formerly a huge Evidence/Bgill fan - his ROMs were rock solid! Hated losing him.)
This is how I'd planned to run the O2 - MS3.5. But, the Sense ROMs look pretty nice, too.
Lemme know, folks. I know there aren't many O2 owners here, but I also know that any here are striving to make the phone work to it's fullest potential. These are the type of folks I want advice from!
Man thats tough to say. I mean Ninja makes some AWESOME roms, I just don't like using 6.5
I have made a few and currently my favorite is the Sense 2.5 rom.
Just my 2 cents.
(BTW there are a BUNCH of us on MoDaCo)

I know, I've been an i910 Modaco member for a while. There just doesn't seem to be much activity in the i920 forum over there.
hi, I m 2 owner of omnia 2 and still doesent know how to upgrade my phone to offical latest rom, software say its allready latest, but i know that is Windows mobile 6.5 21863 build
Hey folks!
So I decided to create an overview thread on current custom and stock ROMs for our beloved Mate 8 in order to give users like me a better decision basis on what to flash / try out next
Your input is appreciated! Tell the community about your experiences with any ROMs uve tried thus far, be it custom or stock! Especially facts about battery life, performance, overall system fluidity, bugs and functionality are important here. Also dont forget to include your hardware and software base in each case
For an easier overview I´ve also created a poll including current custom ROMs as well as the latest stock firmware iterations as of April 16th, 2016.
Enjoy!
The question in itself is wrong
care to elaborate?

For knowing wich is best, we need to try them all. And no one try them all. So we probably juste vote what rom we have right now on our phone.
Fonctionnality, its you to decide what is usefull or not for you.
It also depends on features. Some people like more things in the KangVIP based roms and some like something stock. Some people feel like the International roms are better or faster and some feel like the Chinese ones are. You need to try them all for yourselves and see which one you like best. I put a lot of time into my roms as does Ephemera and everyone else. We want there to be a choice instead of just one custom rom or none. Plus you can find out this info by visiting the respective thread for each rom and reading through the posts.
Thank you for creating this poll. I will be receiving my L29 mate 8 in the mail soon and I would love to know which of these roms support Esperanto as a system wide language, basically my phone is all in Esperanto as my Linux computer is. This phone looks amazing and i cant wait to get it

of course theres always going to be different opinions and different focus on different features also, i never said that voting for a specific rom automatically makes all other roms bad! thats why this thread is for, so users can elaborate on their experience and tell the community what they prefer.

same here, neither i nor anyone else expected every user to have tried every single rom before giving his or her opinion here. if it were such a perfect world then the size of xda would shrink to 1% of its current size due to users being well informed and actually using the search function properly before posting or opening up new threads
again, this is just meant to be an opportunity to discuss and compare different roms, nothing more, nothing less and it goes without saying that any dev's contribution is appreciated here, the more the merrier!
cheers

well, i wouldve thought by now a lil bit more discussion going down, at least some ppl took part in the poll[emoji14]cmon guys, dont be lazy!

I think I tried them all, I am on al10 and I am currently on L29 stock C185B180. In my opinion it's the best ROM thus far, it's not the best in term of battery life (still decent) but everything is working flawlessly. Themes apply correctly, and I no longer have issues with notifications. Thanks for the poll!
Hmm. "Ephemenal" Mate 8 sounds pretty nice . @ajsmsg78 is completely right here, there is no perfect ROM since every person prefers something over the other. In our mate 8's case these ROMs are here to give a choice since they are all stock based but have different modifications. Everyone enjoys their cup of coffee a certain way but its still the same coffee, one cup is filled with sugar, one with creamer, one with both, and the last with nothing; you drink the cup of Joe you enjoy best.
oops, my bad! misread

Good afternoon everyone. I'm a total (and I mean TOTAL) novice and haven't a clue about hardware, software or firmware, so please be kind.
I bought a ZUK Z2 Pro off Ebay. I like it. It looks nice, it's pretty fast, the battery lasts ages, it's a good size in the palm of your hand and it's got loads of storage.
However, I live in the UK and it's come with this 1.9.104 ST version of ZUI which I believe is some custom ROM installed by resellers to make it compatible for international markets. It's terrible and doesn't do half of what the phone's supposed to do. What's worse, I believe there'll never be any updates on it, so it's likely to be extreme vulnerable from a security point of view. I want to be able to customise the phone so I get the type of functionality I used to get with my OnePlus One.
I'm not interested in becoming a programmer and I don't want to have to keep wiping my phone every time some new ROM comes along, but I just want a ROM that's not going to crash and at least alerts me when I've missed a call (which doesn't happen with the crappy ROM I have now). I want to get an update to Nougat when that comes to the Z2, but it looks like I won't be able to do that either given I don't get any OTA update notifications.
I'll need the Play Store integrated too, of course. Any advice or recommendations for a version that I can use, is in English and will deliver some updates when I need to get them?
Thanks in advance.

Use the cm Rom from Emmaus, on zukfans.eu. It's very stable. At the moment only the vibration isn't working.

This one - https://emmaus.pro/?dir=Zuk Z2 Pro/CM13
Thanks guys - this is very helpful.
One more daft question for the experts: given the review of the regular ZUK Z2 (ie: not the Pro that I've got) I've read today on Trusted Reviews, which highlighted the same problems I have, is there any real issue with installing the regular official up-to-date version of ZUI from ZUK themselves, and then selecting English as a language?
If I did so, I presume that means I won't have the Google Play Store integrated? Assuming that's the case, is there a way round it?
Thanks again, and apologies if all of this is blindingly obvious to you guys. As I say, I'm pretty much a babe in the woods about this stuff (I once tried installing Oxygen OS on my OnePlus One and failed to the extent I just threw it in a cupboard and bought a new phone).

If you want to stick to zui, you could also head to zukfans.eu, there is a global rom with multilanguage and integrated Google play services
So, since November, is there a better suggestion for a stable, updateable ROM for ZUK2 PRO?
I find it very difficult to find one that is not broken. And I don't mind minor broken stuff like vibration, but things like camera or not being able to call, that's important.
I was collaborating with the one from Edgrr000 and emmaus in https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/rom-lineageos-wip-t3551507 but it looks like it is abandoned now.

thank god i'm not the only one finding that a €300+ device should just work and nothing else
Feel free to use the Stock rom. Everything work as it should do.
Or use at least this one:

As the first post says, I am also a novice and dont understand terms like flashing, rooting, TWRP, Qfil etc (I know I m dumb).
I had bought a zuk z2 pro, still on its way, from a supplier who installed a multilanguage custom rom. I tried to read threads here and on the zukfans eu and honestly I m getting more confused...some say stock rom is the best, others mention cyanogenmod etc.....All I need is the english language and google play...does that mean stock rom is enough? will it update automatically to nougat 7?...and another important question...how am I going to remove the custom rom to the stock rom? would that be safe? thanks
Stock ROM is Chinese and had some English translation. A load of things are still Chinese. So far I'm happy with mokee 7.1. A good translation and almost no Chinese stuff
just got mine today with global rom and android 6.0. The gallery app crashed all the time so i flashed it with stock rom and android 7.0. the stock rom has to much chinese for me so looking for a new rom. whats the best and most stable out there at this date?
after this very good tutorial, I finally got myself out of this zuk-whatever-it-is-OS... and I love Mokee.
running MK60.1-z2pro-170403-RELEASE.zip with ease and smile, and I do not think a sec to switch back to ZUI.
tnx, think i'll do that. can't get contacts from gmail to dialer or change launcher. i'll try mokee before i downgrade the phone to a musicplayer
@boygav, i suggest zui v2.3.044 ST very smooth, stable and fully functional...just root and remove chinese apps and u r good to go... I can guidde u if u need assistance
I recommend you the Mokee 7.1.1.
Everything work great (but no u-health and u-touch).
I made a tutorial to install this ROM from the beginning
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/how-to/howto-install-mokee-7-1-1-unofficial-t3582686
ROM page :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/rom-share-lr-team-zuk-z2row-z2-pro-t3567710
Why not use easily official download site?!
https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=z2pro
Every time up2date and no need to uplaod anywhere!
When I installed my Mokee, there was no Official Mokee version.
So now you can installed the nightly one from official download. But I don't know if everything works well like the unofficial.

Apologies for the delay guys. Nick - I may well take you up on your offer. The security on this ROM is pretty hopeless - I was being spammed really badly with pop-ups the other day there (and it was nothing I'd downloaded or installed either - my browsing history is pretty spotless, I like to think). Seemed the phone had just installed something overnight.
If you have an absolute idiot's guide to installing this and what the hell rooting actually involves, I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks.
