Need help picking what android rom to get - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yeah got a question / need for help with a P8 lite.
I have gotten this phone as a extra to my mom, but I have used it abit and im getting more and more mad on the Huawei bloat.
I have a Oneplus One with Cyanogen 13.1.2 normally and it much more easy for my mom to navigate then the Huawei.
She also liked my old LG Nexus 4 with Android 4.1.2, so I'm looking for a rom that is as clean as Cyanogen/official android (non vender versions).
I have looked at most of the roms posted but all seam to either have broken data/wifi or non functioning camera, so I need some guidance to the most working one.
I have no preference to what version of android its based on just that it is debloated and works.
The P8 lite dual sim is version ALE-L21C42B585 with Android 6 (Marshmallow) and EMUI 4.0.
I'm sorry for needing the help but I'm not sure what to go for.
PS. It would be lovely for the rom to be compatible with the flip controls mod (getting the "back" button on the right side).

Hi!
I've seen your issue, and I wanted nearby same things too, but you have only two possibilities:
1. Most compatible and working one = emui crossover
2. Most clean (newer Android version) but you've to flash gapps and CPU fix, download footej camera to record but you can't use 2nd Sim = Lineage OS
It's a big problem, in my opinion try both and see what's the best. Personally, in your case I think it's best the first:highfive:
Let me know

I think you should either flash AOSPA or slim rom. Both these rom are simple and light. The newest version don't require you to flash cpu fix or install footej camera since it is already included in rom.

So, if i understand, you want a simple phone for your mom, right?
In my opinion if i was you i do this:
Install B608 [ Need the default recovery] then my Basic version [ Need bootloader unlocked and TWRP]: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-c432b604-ds-p8-lite-emui-basic-t3652417
Then i install Nova Launcher with TWRP like this, download the zip from bellow and copy to microSD, boot in TWRP, mount system, go to advance menu, file manager, system, app, HwLauncher6, open it, select file, rename HwLauncher6.apk to HwLauncher6.apk.bak [ to stay like a backup], go to main menu, install, select external sd, find Nova_Launcher.zip and install it!, go to wipe and wipe ONLY art and cache. Reboot.
It will boot in Nova Launcher, it have a simple UI to work.
Is only a opinion!
.

Okay will be looking on the options you have suggested. May take some time but will report back.

Why do you want to install nova as system app
Also I hope it's not an unlocked version...

Because you need to deactivate Huawei launcher and you need it in system if something goes wrong in data.
Huawei launcher all gets priority over other launcher.
I say nova launcher but Google launcher is good to.
Or i can try to find a Alcatel launcher that i rebuild to work on Huawei.
This 3 are similar.

I was using nova as default launcher on stock without any problem... all you have to do is set it in settings because there is no pop up message
btw nova is best for me and I'm using it for a few years, all other has something that irritates me.

You haven't kept up. LineageOS is abandoned because Xe bricked his phone. His work ends here for this phone probably. RROS and AOSPA are 2 fully functioning Nougat ROMs right now. If all goes well by September there may even be no workarounds needed. OP choose one of the 2 if you want Nougat

What about Haky's ROMs? Are they as stable as Surdu's?

Using 7.1.2 AOSPA since yesterday, pretty stable so far and battery life is fine.

Still running 2.4.20 MIUI... was tempted to try ICS but now seems everyone is looking toward to Jelly bean. Only feature I care about in Jelly Bean was the voice actions.
Other than that I'll take MIUI any day.

Looks good! Seems to have the same bugs as the other ICS ROM, but a great start nonetheless!
Liwais,
Good work, man. This latest ROM is definitely better than previous ones. Aside from the typical things that are not working, like camera, for example, the transitions and response is considerably better but obviously not ready for extensive daily use just yet. I will provide more detailed report later on. But just wanted to say "thank you" for your hard work.
Hello
Hello guys... i wanna know how to install this rom. via streakmod recovery ? or what ? pls tell me step by step procedure to make a flashing on this DS 5.
Yes, using StreakMod recovery.
1) Do a Nandroid backup.
2) Clear Dalvik, Cache and Factory Reset from StreakMod.
3) Factory reset from main recovery menu. This step isn't always necessary, but doesn't hurt.
4) Flash this zip. Also flash gapps and superuser.zip from the other ICS thread for Google Apps and root.
5) Reboot and enjoy ICS MIUI!

I got a DS 5 from my bro yesterday and i want to flash ROMs on it.
But i still don't know after i've finished ROMs on Ds 5 , is it easy to downgrade or move back to the official ROMs?
Firstly i got this one in 2.2 and now i got updated to 2.3.3 from other xda thread. So Pls answer me whether i should try flashing these ROMs or not ? Any help appreciated..! :laugh:

Customise navigatiob bar w/o Custom ROM ?

Hi,
Is it possible to customise the navigation bar (get PIE controls, reduce the size) without changing ROM ?
Thanks.
why'd you wanna do that. you would need to take inferior stuff and dork around with hacks and exploits. if you go that route dont pride yourself running stock afterwards, it'll be a patchy mess, far away from a polished experience.
to some extend i can appreciate whats possible with hacks - but i wouldnt be able to cope with the patchyness of it.
but yeah, the pie thing is lmt. and the navbar thing is a mod you find on xda - you get to choose fixed sizes that you can flash. both is stone age compared to what you could do with integrated solutions.

I'm on stock rom, but rooted. I use HideBar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.hidebar . Works well on the phones with a navigation bar, but was originally written for tablets. The developer has recently received a Nexus 4, so we can expect some love for our phones.
Thanks for your replies, I guess I will have to install PA, I didn't want to install a custom ROM because flashing Gaaos with recovery after each PA update is very anoying (is it the same with CM ?), and also Stock version et the updates first !
How long it takes for PA and CM to add the stock updates to their ROMs please ?

It's strange because with my Motorola Defy, when I installed a new update of CM10, I never had to reinstall Gaaps, only the first time...
Reinstalling Gaaps after each updates of PA or CM is only because of the Nexus 4 ?
I think you get something wrong there. "Reinstalling" means literally one more tap in twrp or cwm. You dont have to set them up again, you just do that tap and its done. It has gapp backup, so not even that tap is needed, but not sure if its unlocked already.

[Q] No 3G service on Cube Talk 5H

I have a cube talk 5H phone wich I just bought, the network specifications are 2G/3G GSM:900/1800MHz,WCDMA:2100MHz, and for all I try I can't get 3G service on my phone even though I have my APN configured correctly and when I enter phone info dialing "*#*#4696#*#*" on "set preferred network type" I've selected "TD-SCDMA-preferred" and "CDMA auto (prl)" but still all I get is 2G.
Any suggestions?
I have the same problem with LeWa Os5 rom and the Miui roms but stock firmware is well.
I think the problem is band mode, i tried to fix it but nothing change.
Now i install new firmware but LeWa os5 is better than stock.

You are AMAZING, after flashing I still had no support for 3G so I cut my sim down to size to fit the micro slot, and now everything works like a charm! I owe you really big! Thank you!
And thank you also for uploading to mega downloads from baidu are SLOW where I live in spain and my internet is 5Mb/s
Interesting...
When i install the new firmware everything works. Whatever happy to solve your problem.
I have this phone and my 3G(UK) comes off the large sim(normal). I think it's to do with what ever
rom you put on(or maybe not? I thought this phone came with MIUI but it doesn't only the launcher is MIUI
I do hope cube build a real MIUI rom that updates every week like it should.
But on a good note the is a Oppo rom and it's very nice
Here is a tip for you. Use chrome browser on your desk top and sign up to pan.baidu.com
so if ever you want to download a rom pan.baidu will side load it to your space and
then you can download it when ever you want at 4-6MB a sec

You have to flash a zip to make the partitions bigger but that's easy.
I did flash Oppo ColorOS v1.1 too, it's very cool. But in the camera app, there is no choice 16:9 mode, should install third part app.
help
can somebody can upload somewhere oppo v1.1 for cube and also partition resize software and a little tutorial?
It is better than official firmware? also nicer than miui or le frog5?

Best ROM for the P7000

We were supposed to get 5 different polished ROMs and, instead of that, we need to find our way to get a barely working phone.
Which is the most stable? Which is the most beautiful?
Those lucky enough to have received the phone, speak.

My album art work wasn't working on stock but it is on this ROM. They just took stock and made it better... I do have a question. Can you send me cm12.1 that I can flash in CWM. I can't get the tool to work for me.

look, the way you asked the question is how you got the first reponse. the same can be asked with you, whats your deal?
just calm down and let it go. keep it clean.
also what works for the other users might not work for you. so much hype around this phone and they didn't dissapoint-they market the item well and always sell half finished goods.
maybe the only good thing going for it is they "might" release source code which they should be doing any way so the community irons out the bugs.
they're trying a different approach with the P8000 saying we will give out the kernel source code blah blah blah developer friendly etc but i will wait and see. i tried for 3 weeks to get P7000 in flash sales. twice i had in my basket trying to check out and the price jumped from 159usd to 209usd by the time i checked out. i thought it was a sign, wait... wait until reviews and see if any shipping issues. i'm glad i did.
now to answer your question to the best of my ability...the stock rom is the only one that i know off that allows the fingerprint reader to work properly.
each of the other firmwares have their advantages and disadvantages.
XDA doesn't allow "best rom" threads but i understand where you are coming from.
are you looking in terms of stability or most working features?
look @ my signature, so far is the best rom, few bugs that needs to be iron out "other roms have not been updated recently"
@TopoX84
How did you get the Build 20150629? On the phone Wireless update it is Build 20150617 only?
Well, that's what it said on the ele flash app that they have on their website, if I check the settings it does states 20150617

The 20150629 release doesn't seem to be an official one, just a modded version of the 20150617 release.

Yes there is. Please test it and report back because I too am having problems with A2DP bluetooth audio and my car: only plays on the first try. If I close the app and open it again, it does not send any audio through.
A new version of the stock OS came in OTA. If you want to test it you have to reset to the stock rom and install the OTA update. It's way more fluid than the original, seriously for me it was day and night. I didn't get trouble with the photo and the new launcher is nice. It's still Android 5.0.

Hi! I want to try this OTA, but when I try to download any system update I get the message "Your system was damaged, update is not possible". I am currently using the stock ROM! How can I install this new version that you have mentioned? Thanks a lot!

The best rom/kernel for the batery life ?

Yo i search the best rom and kernel for the G model
Not really sure man. I think its up to you to test them out and see which one gives you the best battery performance for your needs.

Can you confirm that this is working? I've been wanting to use a black substratum theme for ages, but until now I didn't dare to, since substratum doesn't officially support LineageOS as far as I know. On top of that I read a couple of comments of people having issues

You're right, but I meant LineageOS as in an LOS-based ROM more than LOS itself. Most custom ROMs run better than LOS and have a bunch of features.
You may know that Substratum uses "OMS" to do the overlay stuff, so if you want a ROM with full substratum compatibility, it's as easy as finding one with the necessary commits, like NucleaROM or RR (I prefer NucleaROM over all of the other LOS-based ROMs to be honest). Just look at the description of the ROM for 'oms support'. Or you can try, I'm sure that I used Substratum on LineageOS stock for some time and I was getting 7 hrs SOT with heavy usage

Alright, so thats how it is. But you say you had it running on LOS? Did you experience issues, or why don't you have it running anymore? To be honest I would currently prefer not flashing a new rom, since I'm kinda dependent on my phone working right now and at the moment, it works mostly fine would still love to use a totally black substratum theme though

You have LOS on your phone though, right? If so, why don't you try? It's not like you have to flash anything so you can't brick your phone...
I think I used it on LOS yeah. But I prefer stock over custom ROMs by far. And now that the MiFavor 5 ROM is out (with the Android 7 QS tiles) I don't have any reason to use the buggy and laggy custom ROMs
I swear LOS was the worst of them all when I used it back in Feb/March. The worst thing was that a bunch of apps simply didn't feel like working...

Yes I do. Personally I don't feel like it's that bad so you think it's save to try it out?
Hmm so you feel like stock is better right now? I switched to LOS because I was kinda mad at the stock rom (at least the German one) since updates weren't coming at promised times and when they did come they were full of bugs like apps not working and more.... Which was mostly fixed afterwards, but I wasn't that happy with the situation. I also didn't like the look and feel, which now wouldn't be as much of a problem, since I'm using Nova + KLWP to change most of the visuals. Is the "Tiles-App" with more QS tiles working with stock now? It didn't when I went to LOS. How's battery life? What are your main reason to go back to stock?
And least but not last.... How would I get back to stock? Just flashing a zip from the ZTE website?
And another weird thing which didn't bother me too much until now: I bought my phone in Germany so I had the G model. Ever since going to LineageOS, which included unlocking the boot loader etc. My phone tells me /shows up as the U model.... Is that bad in any way? Other than that it seems to work alright though

-I like stock because it runs better, and even though I thought I would hate ZTE's UI, I actually like it after using it for a long time. And the 5.0 UI is awesome, nuff said. They use blur on the volume pop-up and when you pull down the status bar.
MiFavor 5.0 is not official, it's just the A2017 ROM that's been ported by the Russians. You need to install a special A2017 bootstack (it seemed really dangerous but it's not that bad really) and then the system zip, which formats /system anyways. After that you have to format /data (which will format the internal storage too, just saying) because of the encryption, and it should boot just fine.
I have an A2017G too and flipped out when they f00ked up with B02 with Google Play Store, then B03 with exfat, and went to LOS. Then i tried to go back and DFU-bricked my phone. After I fixed it I preferred to stay stock, and in B04 they fixed everything there was to fix. Tried NucleaROM, best so far but it still has that WIP feel...
Anyways, make a backup of your current system on an SD card if you want to go 5.0.
The A2017U thing is normal, it's because the universal bootloader is actually the U bootloader without the NON-HLOS.bin which you flash later via the A2017G-MODEM.zip (which is ancient lol)
Thank you again for your aid! I have another question....
I downloaded substratum now and installed some themes but somehow I can't get them to work...
For example "Flux" tells me everything went good and I need to restart, but nothing changes after the reboot...
Swift Black has some errors compiling :/
Any ideas?

I will thank you! You are awesome! So I can just flash that rom over LineageOS? Or do I have to wipe my phone first?

The best would be wiping everything, but you can try wiping system only. after that if the phone doesn't work well just wipe data
It seems to be that all the ROMs have bugs or are laggy. Stock is best right now if my research is correct.
Stock...
Edit* with a few things added and removed...
So I am running Nuclear Ron now, everything went smoothly and I've got Magisk installed correctly for root access. So far when I'm using the rom I love everything and substratum works well as well.....
But.... Whenever I turn of the screen it almost immediately reboots... when using my phone I don't get any random reboots, but when the screen is off it restarts every time. This is a real bummer and I keep my phone off most of the time right now, to prevent the reboots every minute :/
Any ideas what the reason for this issue could be? Would love to stay with this rom, but only if I can get this fixed!
I Uninstalled substratum and the substratum themes by the way, but that didn't help either...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
I get phenomenal battery life and speed on NucleaROM. Stability is so-so, however.
