I am using Meizu m2 note M571C which is china telecom version. I want to use the cm rom. However, although the bootloader is unlocked and there is recovery for it, still no custom rom for it.
And the Flyme rom is with so much useless apps which make the system become slow, I wanna to modified it.
After downloading the flyme rom file, there is system.img and system_new.img. which cannot be modified easily. So here, i wanna ask if there is a teaching on how to modified such kind of rom.

Hi, I am new on xda and stuff. I will explain in short-
I am 15. It's my first phone. I have rooted it. It gives very poor performance. I decided to flash a custom. Couldn't find any for my model (ROW/K50A40).
My questions are-
Should I flash a custom rom? ? because it's still in warranty period (actually its only a few months old).
Why does it performs so poor ? (compared to my friend's Asus zenfone 2 laser same price)?
I geuss it's because I haven't updated the ui (since its rooted) because the system consumes a lot of RAM and that's why it lags. So I want to flash a custom rom. And ROW version requires SP tool to flash rom? Can't I use recovery? I have CWM recovery which I used for rooting.
Help me plz ?

Flash ROW version
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Cvj7/3U5rjvc6s/ROW/
In SP FLash Tools:
1.- Never use Format (You will loose your NVRAM and your phone)
2.- In options, before flash, mark Checksum, if you don't mark it phone will not work.

Those are stock roms? Is it the latest/ updated rom? Will it fix the performance problems? What are OTA and SOURCE folders? I don't want to loose root to get back warranty. I just want to make my phone better by flashing a custom rom. How about vibeui 3.5? It has android marshmallow. But is it compatible with ROW model? Is any custom rom compatible with ROW? ?
I got it. Never mind ?. Thanks for your help TorpedoJavi.

Hi @Aditya781
K3 Note China -> K50-t5 (ST (stable) and DEV (developer) ROMs)
K3 Note India -> K50a40 (ROW ROMs)
They are the same phone, with the same hardware. I recommend do not use customs ROMs if you don't know what are you doing.
For non Chinese users ROW (Rest of World) ROM is OK, although, as I want to experiment, I'm currently using Chinese ROM ST.
Good luck.
P.D.: NEVER USE FORMAT IN SP FLASH TOOLS, NEVER.
I am going to try CM 12.1 ST LP 5.1 when few issues are fixed. http://www.needrom.com/download/stable-cyanogenmod-12-1-multilingual/
I am using a Redmi 3s international version in Australia.
My questions so far...
Earlier today I was reading that Redmi 3s has no hope of getting Nougat is this true? Apparently Xiaomi rather release Mi9 along with new devices instead of updating slightly older ones.
I am seriously considering flashing the phone with Cyanogen mod. With custom ROMs what is the success rate of flashing for a newbie like me as I have used this OS only for a few months now. Which custom ROM is better and frequently updated?
Will the Apps work like normal and will the store work like normal? Will the apps such as banking have any issues with usage and updates as the phone would be considered as rooted?
Will I be able to revert back to Official Redmi 3s ROM if the Android N is available or do I have to manually flash it back and upgrade OTA? issues with updates as as the phone is rooted? (Flashing a custom ROM! is it equal to rooting the phone?)
Last but worst case scenario is there vanilla android available for Redmi 3s I wouldn't mind using a launcher like arrow launcher?
If available will it make the device faster? Will the device still function as normal without the bloat that comes with MIUI?
Mmm... Our device is a "low perfil" phone, in most of case this kind of device dont get upgrade to newer OS version. In my case its not a problem. This is my very firt Xiaomi device and and lovely. I've had LG, Samsung's, Moto's and thats phones look "old" since a newer movil is launched. With MIUI that dont happen, MIUI Includes a lot of thing that make the phone look fresh always. Also, You can get Unlocked Bl, TWP and flash Custom Rom, although in my case I dont feel necessary at all (and I am a Crazy guy flashing any custom rom in my older device....)
If you have Custom Recovery you can go back and foward MIUI/Custom Rom. In all case you can always flash MIUI Rom's via bootloader...
Would you be able to point me in the direction of custom recovery?
Also which custom rom is good? will the app store and all the apps work or will it have a problem as the device is rooted?
Hi all,
I got a used Redmi3s , So im planning to reset the phone completely and use it as a secondary Phone.. MIUI Rom has so many bloatware and im used to CM roms easiness and light weight .. So i had plan to Unlock BootLoader, Flash TRWP and Any Custom ROM .
Now is it worth to Flash Custom ROM as i need a stable rom with battery ?
Or i shuld just root the MIUI and Uninstall almost all Unwanted MIUI apps. My concern is mainly on apps which run on background and use my Internet ...
Hope to read some user reviews on CUSTOM ROM and Stable ROM ...
Custom ROMs are always better than MIUI in terms of battery, speed, updates,etc. But MIUI is what you pay for and stability is always higher. Since you've unlocked the bootloader and have a custom recovery, why not try a custom ROM and then decide.

Miui 9 is fast as advertised. And I believe the camera problem you mentioned must be about google camera or a new ROM which appeared recently. Google camera modded has that new bokeh features now available for our device. As a result, it has trouble with other functionality. But stock camera in custom ROMs have no issue at all. And there is a camera issue in Cosmic OS official which will get fixed in future updates.
Anyways it all comes down to your personal preference- MIUI or Custom ROMs.

Stock rom minus bloatware is better imo. I've been on stock rom minus bloatware for a long time. It's stable, bug free and I don't have to flash new rom every week. Battery life is amazing, 10 hr SOT.

I think steps is like
1 unlock bootloader
2.Flash TWRP
3. Flash SuperSU to root
and wat are the bloatwares which are safe to be removed

After rooting your phone install titanium backup to delete bloatware. Or you can also try this bloatware removal script

Hi! I'm a newbie so I'm sorry if I may annoy you with this question.
I've tried reading threads here about installing custom roms but so far it's always from a global rom to a custom rom. I have the Chinese MIUI 11.
Now, my question is: if I want to switch to Mokee OS from Chinese MIUI 11, do I have to flash the global rom first before I can flash a custom rom or can I just go straight from Chinese rom to custom rom?
If I can do the latter, is there any clear guide available and if you have the link, can you give it to me? So far, I tried googling but the results are always about how they switched from the chinese rom to the global rom. And after unlocking my bootloader, can I use the XiaomiADBFastbootTools to flash the rom instead of using TWRP?
I don't want to be in MIUI anymore because of the ads and bloatware. :crying:
Thanks for your help!
Hello, i have been using pixel expirience room for a quite some time now I also installed stormbreaker kernel. However i would like to go back to stock rom. Im not sure what do to, do i delete everything and just flash miui or there is somthing else to do first ? keep in mind storbreaker kernel is installed on my phone.

Well, you can flash stock rom in your custom recovery like any other rom (from what i remember your custom recovery will be replaced by the xiaomi stock one) but i recommend you to flash xiaomi.eu rom, its like stock but better... (and you will not lose your custom recovery), and lastly i don't really recommend a miui based roms, if you want a lightweight rom i can recommend POSP.
P.S. When you flash any rom it doesn't matter what kernel where you using since you replacing whole system that have it's own kernel...
