Any suggestions? PM me or post here! Thx

Looking forward to it. Nice to see someone with a positive outlook on this device. I am coming from a rooted Cappy and this is surely a decent upgrade for me. Looking forward to your ROMS. thank you for supporting it.

I am no developer. I have no ROM making skills..
However developers don't have the time to do this for us. Plus it is always helpful when a forum has one of these.

To each their own.

Updated to reflect the ROM pages up right now. Thanks all.
feel free to PM me if you are putting up a page as a developer so it's up fast!

Nice work.

this will for sure be a searching-shortcut
thank for this

Glad you guys approve
Keep it Classy, Cali.

Duuuuuude. Sweet.

Can anyone post a way to install CWM on SIII? I've rooted it but there is no guide to install CWM and since ROM manager doesn't have it yet for SIII so where can we find one?

Prob gonna have to wait for more devs to get it I imagine. That's usually how it works. 98% of us don't have this phone yet and won't till mid to late next week. Give it a few and I'm sure it'll be here in our forum!

[q] mediatek mt6572

Hello Everyone
could someone tell me what ROM i can use on my Note 3 clone from China?
i have a SM-N900 with mediatek MT6572 processor.
i am hoping LIDROID could work? it seems as a good rom
but i am open to all ROMs that are compatible with this unit.
And please...i am as new as soneone could be...so take it easy on me
would love a step by step instruction on the compatible ROM as well
Thank you all for the good work!!

Original Note 3 ROMs and Custom Note 3 ROMs won't work on it. Have a search of the forum, you'll find numerous threads regarding it.

Don't Flash anything mate .... Unless you want to brick it. Just use it as is while it lasts. ... But everything on these forums are for original devices. ... Try Google and see if there are forums for fake phones. I wouldn't chance it personally. ...

Ok. I will try to see if i can find anything on google.
If i cant, i still have a rooted phone.
Do you have any tips on what i can do to improve both phone and battery on this one?
And if you have time, maybe you could help me find a working rom?

Your phone is a fake Note 3 and is not acceptable in samsung note 3 forums - see some more details on the entire subject of fakes here:

i am sorry i did post on this forum.
i have tried Google With not so much Luck, and was hoping someone With kindness could help me out here.

pathetic yu forum

this is what yu khight doing ...i aid whats the truth they removed my post there is nothing freedom to speech they just want to agree what they say pls spread it to ppl yu knight r very rude

screen shot

While I agree that the lollipop update for YU is delayed you need to see that it is for the users only. They want to give us a bugless update. Would you use a buggy lollipop ROM or one which is bugless. Also Oxygen is is not cm12, it might be lollipop based but both are different. This is not a **** measuring contest. What matters is we get the lollipop update not who gets it first.

Bro i was banned from forum and i had to create another user account from totally different name in order to access the forums. Unfortunately i think you have to do the same.

[Discussion] [Call for Devs] - Trying to make the Project Treble easier for everybody

As many might know, thanks to Project Treble the work needed to port ROMs has been greatly reduced.
Right now everything is still a bit messy around treble, with people searching in every possible forum (even on ones for other devices) for an image, discussing things not in relation with the topic's original device and just making thing cluttered and hard to find.
We also can see that the great thread put forward by phhusson begins to get the same treatment with people from many devices in the same thread asking device-specific questions (and even questions about devices without Treble-support) when phhusson's initial idea seems to have been to build a base image which could be used / modified for each device. Essentially giving a golden base which only needs small, device-specific, modifications.
Coming back to the title. I want to propose device-specific Treble - Threads. Permitting to let GSI (Generic System Image) threads clutter-free and development oriented, while these type of threads can be used to discuss problems related to specific devices. From what can be seen right now (through the eyes of a non-dev) most of the time only small modifications are needed, which could be managed with a custom kernel or a custom zip containing all fixes.
Hoping to find a way, together, to get Treble even better for us and making work easier for developers.
Feel free to discuss

I agree. Device-specific forums would help with reporting bugs, and finding GSIs for certain devices.

Agreed!

I totally agree, people should acknowledge this and start making a move

Treble development, imho, doesn't need to be branched out for all the specific devices. That's just not it's forte, it's mandate is to be generic, not specific.

Considering some issues may be affecting multiple devices, how about having a distinct support thread, separate from the main development thread, for every GSI?
I feel a threads for every device may be unmanageable, and actually counterproductive once such threads grow.

I've started a Treble Megathread for the Huawei P10 but it's not gaining much traction.
Treble is all well and good but if nobody is actually using it (Phh's RR v3 has only had ~1800 total downloads) then there's going to be very slow progress!

Making treble-enabled devices should just go in the respective device's development subforum that (probably) already exists....

It's still early days yet. It will gain traction for sure.

I'm a rookie... Inwant to compile a custom rom from source and make it a treble rom that everyone can use. Can anyone suggest me tutorials or stuff like that. I've never compiled before. Any help would be appreciated.

If you cant search a bit in the xda forum or search in the internet... Then I think you wont be able to compile your own rom and fix all the bugs.

So those people that have used it should write a guide on that devices' subforum. There's no need to clutter up the Treble subforum with device-specific things.

It's easy:
Factory reset
Boot fastboot mode
In adb type
fastboot flash system *systemimgname*.img
The.n type fastboot reboot and wait

Your tip was so helpful! thank a lot!

It's hard work to make a good rom. It takes much time and you have to know much about Linux / how a kernel works / what libraries do and such things. It isn't something you learn in some days.

Agree! But there is bugs that still didnt fixed by phhusson in aosp. Such as lag when opening app from recents tab (Huawei). Btw its fixed by in Pixel Experience and in Havoc OS but not in the original one ( base rom ) . Treble need some work to be perfect. Remember to old Cyanyogen mod? That one is epic!

Please stop writing such bull****.
When you really think building a rom from source, show what you can. You think it's really sooo easy to fix all the bugs? To get the hardware working?
Developers here on xda need weeks to release a stable build of a rom and you call it easy?
I think you're the clown bro.

[REQUEST] custom ROMs

Since we now have a working "TWRP", it would be great to have a real Custom ROM. Not to degrade xXx and the other Magisk "ROMs" (using xXx now), but TWRP flash-able ROMs would be great.

Wrong section but correct

Exactly , but don't think XDA will let me show it here.

You are risking lots with the Chinese version. Not being able to see source , you could be dealing with malware etc

I scanned the package with viruse and malware software.

Are there any limitations or dangers with that version we should know about? I'd risk it just for the ability to make a solid backup right now.
Can anyone point me in the right direction without breaking XDA policy??

If itnwas safe then why haven't the main devs pick it up
Oh cuz they can't see source. You have no idea what could be loaded in there. Whether it works or not. The point is there COULD be malware or spyware or whatever loaded and you would have no idea

Let me ask you a question. How do you know that normal open-source TWRP doesn't have malware in it?
The reason why 'main devs' as you call them won't accept it, is because of licensing and money. And also embarrassment because they can't figure out how to get a version booting.
The wonderful thing is we can all do what we wish to do. you can use ADB and make your life infinitely harder, and I'll keep using TWRP and accomplish things in a fraction of the time.

just to let you know as most of us devs live here on xda and our friends are devs and are working our asses off to get things going like our main twrp dev who has always provided us with twrp since op6 and is working on it now for 3 different devices which now is super hard being our current partitions and such . ... .

There you go again. You're not a developer ... And why do you care if somebody uses something that's making their life easier?
In case you can't tell the 7t pro still doesn't have a working TWRP. 8 whole months later. There's a working TWRP for OnePlus 8 pro right now. why do you care if someone is using it? How is using a Chinese TWRP going to hurt development? It's not. I'm going to share it with each and every person that asks for i. Because we deserve to use something beyond crappy ADB.

Chinese recovery works just fine. I was running custom TWRP recovery by this Chinese locked LR. Team two years ago on my Xiaomi Mi Pad, and nothing wrong happened. You all could wait year or more for official relase as development is going very slow, or enjoy it now.
