I've seen a lot of new ROMs popping up for the Le Pro3. This is excellent as it's such an underrated device, especially the X727 variant in the US.
I notice that all builds are unofficial versions of a few popular ROMs. Is it possible that any existing developers will create an official build for our device? How can we go about spreading the word and hopefully getting official support of ROMs such as LineageOS, etc?
This would really help to bring more developers to LeEco and open the door for new projects and improved unofficial builds.

I think devices have to be popular enough to get official builds. I'd love to see a Carbon ROM pop up here soon.
Jep, can recommend Turbo's Rom, pretty cool

Can any devlpr make some other rom like flyme, colour os, untill the Volte bugs solved in cm..that ll b great
Why don't you do it instead? There's a lot of resources on the internet that can get you started in no time.
If i know how to make rom from sources, i would started the work...if u know how to make thn ur gud to go..
All the Devs doing this stuff in their free time so take what has been released or make a ROM by yourself.
If you don't know how to make a ROM, head over to the library and the Internet, get books and stuff and learn the java programming language.
Additionally learn the "edify" language for setting up the updater-script etc. which is needed for proper recovery flashing.
So long...
I don't think the VOLTE bug is a motivator for any dev to develop an entirely new ROM.
They'd rather focus their efforts in squashing that bug and make a stable CM based ROM, which in my opinion is the best an Android can get.

Yeah, I agree.
Plus PAC-rom is already in development, which takes the best from the best. So stay put, trust the devs and start contributing by testing of on-going ROMs.
PS
Resurrection Remix here and Beanstalk here are also in development.
Hello,
I'm strongly considering picking up a LePro 3, but I do have some concerns. I understand that the stock software isn't very good and I'm looking towards the community to create excellent ROMs for this device, but I do have some questions:
Do we have a clean method for root/unlock/recovery?
Is there anything stopping developers from putting together ROMs that are optimized for every aspect of the phone? i.e. enough source from LeEco?
How would you say developer support is for this device? I'm a fan of official ROM builds instead of using unofficial. Has anyone announced upcoming support for this device that I can look forward to?
Aside from that, feel free to mention anything else I should be aware of before purchasing the phone!
Thanks so much!
Do we have a clean method for root/unlock/recovery?
I have no idea what you mean by clean but if you can use adb then yes we do. If you are looking for a one stop shop all in one unlocker then the answer is no. look here for current method:

I believe all source code has been released.

There is minimal development currently. One person is trying to build a Nougat 7.1 Rom. That's a pretty big feat so it will probably be a while. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/7-1-progress-t3511474
There is a developer that posted a debloated version of the x720(international version) of this rom already. It will work on our x727(US version). It is an older version though so there's that. Look here:

There's a CM 13 rom here based on the chinese x720. Look here:

This is literally the smallest compilation of threads I've ever seen for a phone so starting a new thread to ask these questions is pretty silly. Since it's the holidays, I've been nice and responded to what could have easily been found in a couple of minutes.

Thanks for the reply.
The reason I compiled these questions were because I was hoping for more specific answers and some clarity. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough my initial post and for that I apologize.
I was reading what seemed to be conflicting information about the recovery software and process in which to flash it to the device. It looked as if there wasn't any goto method or specific TWRP version to go with and that this was still somewhat experimental.
It's good to know that the source has been released. I was seeking info about LeEco and people were saying that they didn't release source code for their phones as company policy.
While I've visited the ROM forum section, I was hoping someone would have insight into official ROMs instead of what currently exists there.
For the US model Le Pro 3 (X727) I would recommend using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/x727-model-persistent-bootloader-unlock-t3500388) method to unlock the bootloader. That's what I did and had no issues. From there you can use TWRP to do a full wipe and install the ROM of your choice. Of course, I would recommend taking a backup of everything before doing this.
I'm running that CM 13 build with no issues on my X727. It's also possible to get the IR blaster working if desired.
Well its always been that with CM we have been stuck with the camera or reboots.. But considering recent achievements of CM and Resurrection Remix by developers I hope we get a stable one.
But just for instance is it possible or is it easy to have an AOSP Nougat for J7 2015? Since it is a Google source i don't think the source will have any bugs like the Camera of CM which is traveling from CM11.
Considering current situation we will all appreciate a stable nougat build.. Be it AOSP.
No offense to Developers but i was just sharing my views..

Instead of asking for so much how about you try making it yourself?
I have some experience at installing Linux by compiling things. I would like to work on AOSP. would be kind of you if you provide new with some pointers as follows.....
I am a little confused with the data overload and would like some pointers...
I want to keep only the relevant drivers in the system. So where do i find the original proprietary source files for my Samsung j7 device ?
A good guide on how to compile and the things to keep track of during all this would be very helpful. Thanks.
I am also stuck at sources. Because its not always that a CM source or a Resurrection source would be fit for an Aosp build. So i was just making a suggestion for the experienced devs..
whats the difference between the two maintainer and builder?
there are a lot of nougat roms but they are all not official...as far as i understand because there ie no maintainer. but there are builder. so whats the difference.
almost every s model including the minis have official nougat
Maintainer is a developer, somebody that actually knows programming and also has some experience with it. He or she is the one that fixes device specific bugs.
A builder is just that, somebody that builds the ROMs. Anyone can build a ROM, it doesn't require any programming knowledge.
And there are various guides on how to do it too, you only need a Linux system with decent performance, otherwise it might take some hours only to build one ROM zip.
The Maintainer job is purely a voluntary one. So somebody has to volunteer to become the Lineage maintainer for the S4. But this is not all. He or she also needs to be accepted by the Lineage team, because they don't just take anyone. You need some experience for it.
Another reason we have no official Nougat is because there are still some bugs (such as the reboot bug) and the Lineage team doesn't accept that from what I heard. Oh, and they want cleaner code too.
So yeah, I don't know if he will have any official Nougat any time soon, if ever.
But just because we don't have official Nougat doesn't mean we don't have developers. We still have some people that do some developing for the S4.
Hello everyone, we already have Lineage OS and Resurrection remix on our Mi Note 2, what other roms would you like to get ? And I have a question for devs, do you think it's possible to get S8/S8+ rom on our Mi Note 2 ?
I'd be interesting in hearing if there are roms that people are crying out for. Moving between Lineage and RR is very straightforward but most other roms are going to take some time, so having an idea where people want that time invested would be very welcome.
As for the S8/S8+ rom, I'm not sure that it's open source, and without source it's not feasible. Modifying their stock rom to work is beyond practical. There's significant difference in snapdragon and exynos architecture, the S8/S8+ kernel is based on a much more recent version of linux, and presumably makes use of new features and this is all before getting to device level. It would be a great rom to have though! If you know of a rom source that's similar and flexible then I'd be happy to take a look.
