[GUIDE] Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 Final + XPOSED + SUPERSU + F2FS + GOODIX + ViPER

I used TheStrix recovery 3.0M4 for the entire procedure.
Apps that have to write alot to cache like google maps, google earth, are MUCH faster with F2FS.
Make a nandroid backup if you want to revert to your current rom (common sense, no?)
Short video showing all add-ons - https://youtu.be/p9Zyb3C4gQ4
1) First Step
a. install cm13 firmware or install marshmallow miui rom (when installing miui rom with miflash you must allow the rom to boot once to create a proper partition table then reboot to recovery and wipe)
b. wipe all except sd and internal storage
c. install rr or rr-fk rom
d. install gapps if desired (arm64 6.0)
e. reboot to system (this particular reboot can take up to five minutes, be patient)
f. allow setup screen to appear
g. reboot to recovery after 30 secs on setup screen
2) Second Step
a. clear ONLY dalvik
b. install xposed uninstaller (using the xposed uninstaller before installing the framework is the install method recommended by the xposed developers)
c. install xposed framework
d. reboot to system (this particular reboot can take up to five minutes, be patient)
e. allow setup screen to appear
f. reboot to recovery after 30 secs on setup screen
3) Third Step
a. install supersu
b. reboot to system
c. allow setup screen to appear
d. reboot to recovery after 30 secs on setup screen
e. install goodix fix if you have goodix fp
f. install radon or agni kernel ( if using radon 3.7 make sure to check permissive selinux for goodix, the default is now enforcing )
g. reboot to system
h. complete setup
h. install xposed apk
i. done!
4) Optional for ViPER4Android FX
a. install this version of busybox from play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
b. open busybox app and allow smart settings to complete (takes 2-3 minutes)
c. click "install" button
d. open viper4android fx apk (link below) and install then open. when viper is installing the driver it may seem like it is hanging. it's not, be patient the driver takes about a minute to install
e. reboot
f. done
5) Optional for F2FS data and cache
a. reboot to recovery
b. install stock boot.img to boot partition
c. install radon or agni kernel ( if using radon 3.7 make sure to check permissive selinux for goodix, the default is now enforcing )
d. convert data and cache to f2fs
--- don't try to skip a step and install goodix patch here, you will get infinite boot logo ---
e. install radon or agni kernel again ( if using radon 3.7 make sure to check permissive selinux for goodix, the default is now enforcing )
f. reboot to system (this particular reboot can take up to five minutes, be patient)
g. allow setup screen to appear
h. for non-goodix (fpc) you are done. remember to install xposed apk when you complete setup and complete the steps below for viper4android fx if you installed it earlier.
i. for goodix reboot to recovery and continue to next step
j. install goodix_fp_8.zip
k. install radon or agni kernel ( if using radon 3.7 make sure to check permissive selinux for goodix, the default is now enforcing )
l. reboot to system
m. complete setup again
n. install xposed apk
o. done
---- only if you installed viper4android fx earlier ---
p. install this version of busybox from play store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
q. open busybox app and allow smart settings to complete (takes 2-3 minutes)
r. click "install" button
s. install viper4android fx apk
t. done!
NOTE: I'm not responsible for you breaking your phone, blah blah blah....
Caveats for F2FS users:
You won't be able to take nandroid backups with zcx, you will have to use a customized recovery like TheStrix M4 recovery that supports mounting f2fs partitions.
Caveats for Xposed:
Since RR has many customization features built in, don't expect all the customization features from modules to work. For example, xstana replaces all icons except the battery icon.
Working:
Everything except backlight duration controller in RR settings. Minimal considering the benefits....
Termux: You must use tsu in place of su to have a proper superuser shell. Just open termux and enter "apt-get update && apt-get install tsu" . After tsu package is installed always use tsu in place of su. tsu is a su wrapper for termux to give you a proper interactive shell. I found this out after su was no longer working correctly in termux. This is true for all CM13 based roms as far as I can tell. I am a happy person now. :victory:

I would suggest flashing the latest global stable marshmallow miui fastboot rom via miflash. Make sure you replace emmc_appsboot.mbn with an unlocked version or else you will be with a locked bootloader and a bad attitude. Be careful with miflash as I have already soft and hard bricked my phone many times with it. If you aren't brave enough just wipe all partitions except internal storage and sdcard then flash cm13 firmware.

Thanks for the guide but can you clarify this which is written in bold " Guide up for Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 + XPOSED + Supersu + F2FS + Goodix or FPC FP (Thoroughly Tested)
It's a little lengthy but now I just might have the most badass phone in the universe... Cheers!"
Can you post Benchmarks/ battery usage etc?

Make you are on latest miui firmware. I have LTE and signal is rock solid. As always, wipe all, followed by format data, followed by flashing latest miui firmware. Then flash your marshmallow roms.

I removed a lot of steps because i didn't know about the strix recovery m4 version which solves many problems. I added a new fourth step just for you.

It was complicated as hell until i found strix m4 recovery then things became a WHOLE lot easier. anyways if you don't want to try the rom and just want to say stupid things for no reason, go somewhere else. it took me almost a week pinning down the most direct, fastest way of accomplishing what i wanted. rr with xposed, supersu, f2fs, goodix fp, and viper audio. it's good there's lots of people out there that actually do things with their time instead of talking nonsense on some random xda thread. Now that I figured out all the steps through trial and error because RR never wants to boot if you do one little thing wrong of course it's easy. It took me around 10 hours of total time to figure out the exact steps so RR wouldn't freeze on the boot logo. Do you want to try another method? Be my guest, have fun looking at the RR logo for the next 10 hours. Oh, and don't forget to spend an hour writing a guide about how you did it too.... thanks.

When flasing the RR-fk waht should i do with the Device tree? Can u give the link for me to learn? Search in google and confuse which i should read first... Thx before

PSA - DotOS 8.1 for Huawei Hi6250 devices works flawlessly

I was about to give up and go back to stock but lo and behold I got ahold of a link to a really nice GSI for our Honor 7x devices, and any other device with the Hi6250 chipset. It has worked flawlessly on my BND-L24 and doesn't give me weird uncertified device and internal storage errors like the treble GSI found in the treble ROM forums.

I assume you have this TWRP installed, if not, install it: TWRP
Alright, let's install.
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Go to wipe - advanced wipe
3. Wipe all but SD card
3. Then go back to wipe.
4. There is an option next to advanced wipe, forgot what it was. (I think it was "Format Data")
5. Tap that option and type "yes"
6. Reboot back into TWRP
7. Flash the ROM and flash Open GApps right after flashing the ROM (I used Pico Open GApps)
8. Do a factory reset, wipe Cache, Dalvik / ART cache, and Data in advanced wipe just to be sure.
9. Reboot

EDIT: I'm no longer on this ROM so if there are bugs and you want me to reproduce them, I can not help you. Sorry, I need a more stable ROM for our Honor 7x's than this one. Thanks for understanding.

It's not the best idea to wipe with TWRP. It's better to do it with stock recovery or manually with fastboot.

Hi !
Does it work on BND-L21C432 ? What are the steps to install the rom ? Does it have to be EMUI 8.0 ?
Thank you for your work on this rom!

flashing this i hope the battery sot is good

Did you flash the latest Magisk Beta?
Usually that is the one that works, or you can find a treble-compatible version of Magisk to flash.

Yes I flashed the 16.4, not sure what happened. I can get into twrp, tried wiping and flashing the DotOs image again but all it does is boot into Huawei recovery. When I get home I will try downloading the stock firmware from the MT website and if I can get it to boot up Ill try flashing DotOs again.

How's it compared to lineage 15.1? How's battery life? Post few screenshots and check whether substratum works or not? TIA

Tried flashing gapps linked and get an error about gapps isnt compatible. Tried flashing 8.0, 8.1 and 7.1.2 gapps and none work.

Hell yeah got the phone operational again, time to get back to flashing.

Most likely there is something wrong with what you're using to flash the GApps, like the SD card, USB OTG, etc. Try switching it out.
But before doing all that, first flash the ROM, and then reboot again into TWRP and try flashing it if that makes a difference. Make sure you're flashing the ROM like the original post says.

[Guide] Install Lineage OS 17 and AOSiP (Android 10) GSI on Mi Max3

** Post updated on 01/10/19 to include AOSiP GSI **
After trying out a lot of Android 10 GSIs, I have managed to get Lineage OS 17 and AOSiP GSI builds by Erfan to run on Mi Max 3. Thanks to the Dev erfanoabdi and his team who have worked on these.
On Mi Max 3 they are very smooth when they are working. However, certain apps can trigger freezing episodes or forced reboots. AOSiP seems smoother and more stable for now. Both are almost stock with no customization. Over all they are still buggy, just usable, and not reliable.
I am not a developer! Try at your own risk!!
** PLEASE NOTE: You would need to be on one of the AOSP- or LOS-based custom Pie Roms with firmware version 9.9.3 (as base) before flashing this rom. Havoc and AEX have been confirmed to work**
Here are the steps
What you would need:
1. GSI Android 10 Rom:
a. Lineage 17 GSI by Erfan: lineage-17.0-Aonly-10-20190909-ErfanGSI.img.7z
b. AOSiP
2. Permissiver_v4.zip
3. FixZygote_v2.zip
4.open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20190920-UNOFFICIAL.zip
5. Magisk 19.4
6. Any file extractor app. I used ZArchiver from Play store.
Installation Steps.:
1. Extract system image from Android 10 GSI zipped file using app of your choice (ZArchiver in my case)
2. Boot into your recovery (I used Nijel's TWRP 3.2.3-3 and 3.2.3-4)
3. Back up your current ROM
4. Wipe data, system, art/davlik and cache
5. Tap install. Then tap ''Image''. Then select the (extracted) Lineage-17 system image, then tap System. Swipe to install.
6. Install Permissiver_v4 zip file.
7. Install FixZygote_V2 zip file
8. Install Magisk 19.4 zip file.
9. Boot into system. Tap ''OK'' on the screen pop up.
10. Reboot into TWRP.
11. Install OpenGaps.
13. Reboot system and set up your phone.
14. Reboot phone and start using.
What works
1. Mobile data, Wifi and bluetooth
2. Phone calls and messaging including dual sim
3. Playstore
4. Rooting with Magisk
5. Finger print reader
6. Gestures are amazing. Dark mode great!
Bugs
1. Stock camera and torch light do not work.
2. Slider does not control brightness
3. Chrome browser freezes. . Firefox and Via browser running smoothly.
4. Camera and video apps force-close or cause random reboots

Where are the links to the packages and why you install two different gapps (Bitgapps&Opengapps)???

There are no links to the packages as I wasn't certain of the XDA rules on links to other websites. Just google them and they are easy to find.
I tried just open gapps or just BitGaps and didn't work. Flashing BitGaps first appeared to point the Open Gapps to the right partition, and that worked.

Thanks for posting but very confusing without links. I know what mean about the rules but you can link the page for the GSI not the download etc

I was on the latest Havoc Rom for Mi Max 3. Also my hardware is 6GB 128GB.
I tried a lot of the Android 10 GSIs and this was the only one that booted. The sequence has to be exactly same as in my post to boot.
Also, I don't know if it may have to do with your vendor. I didn't wipe and then flash the device-specific vendor firmware as suggested in some GSI how-to's.

So you were on an android pie ROM and flashed android 10 over it without wipe? I was on miui 11 before flash on global device

Yes Havoc Pie Rom. I wiped davlik/art, system, data and cache only. Then proceeded exactly as outlined in my post. I have just flashed the LOS 17 again with my steps and it boots.

first attempt
i had derpfest AOSIP so i flashed LOS 17 over that with no wipe then the permissive and fix zip and it booted with errors. gestures for home works but edges dont. also kept fail on system etc
2nd attempt
flashed derpfest AOSIP then reboot
back to recovery then wipe as you did flash LOS17 then permissive and fix zips then reboot. boots up but same as before home gesture works and dark mode etc but edges don't. the bitgapps dont flash and open gapps nano causes bootloop on its own
3rd attempt gonna try with firmware 9.9.3 and flash without wipe vendor like the old days to see what happens

Got it good as I can for now
Flashed and booted AEX 6.7
Back to recovery and wiped as you say and not vendor
Flashed LOS 17 image then permissive and fix zips and magisk
Reboot
Didn't need flash 2 gapps just open gapps nano and reboot
Seems good apart from obvious
Brightness doesn't work
Camera
Battery drain very high

That's great. It settles down after a few more boots. I will update my post with your findings.

That's great. It settles down after a few more boots. I will update my post with your findings.

OK cool. Hopefully someone can get it working fully or at least stable enough for daily use

And what about the AOSIP-Aonly-10-20190924-ErfanGSI.7z? Do I flatten the Lineage-17.0-Aonly-10-20190909-ErfanGSI.img or do I have to decide between one of them?
Does not herfor from the instructions

Yes it is one or the other.
You could try each one separately, then decide the one you prefer. AOSiP seems more fluid and stable.

Thank you for your prompt reply

What's the report on AOSIP as I haven't tried it yet. Wish someone would take the gsi and get it stable

It is smoother and more stable compared to LOS 17 but brightness slider and camera still don't work.

I can't find the gsi.xz file from point 2 in any way, so I can rename it, what should I do?

I already update, so you don't get confused

I have been using it for a week now and i can say that this is quite stable, the only bugs i have ran into were:
*The fingerprint scanner being always active on the lockscreen, so if you want to write your password and it contains words that are on the scanner, the scanner wont let you write
*The camera only detects 12 mp max, I used the stock one and gcam and they both have max 12 mp
Everything else, battery, performance, root stability, etc is better than the stock rom.

Hello
1. I dont use lockscreen, but if you want using lock screen you can choose pin, password, pattern, keep fingerprint off
2. - For camera, I use this two app Open Camera and Footej Camera 2

Using Havoc third day straight, must say that is pretty much stable, no problems so far/without installed magisk so no comment on that/ and much better than Pixel Experience with whom I faced constant random reboots. Fast and smooth

Installed android 12 beta GSI. any way to get google apps?

I just installed the ARM64 GSI adapting the steps from https://www.xda-developers.com/android-12-beta-gsi/
let me share:
I rebooted into recovery (had twrp flashed as recovery and lineageos 18.1 as system)
flashed lineageos recovery directly for fastbootd (I could have done it from lineage itself and su tho):
Code:
adb push /path/to/lineageos-recovery.img /cache/lineageos-recovery.img
Code:
adb shell
Code:
cat /cache/lineageos-recovery.img > /dev/block/by-name/recovery
rebooted again into recovery (to lineageos recovery)
entered fastboot mode
followed the fastboot steps in https://www.xda-developers.com/android-12-beta-gsi/
rebooted into system
and it booted! still carrying many lineageos settings since it turns out lineageos recovery ignored fastboot -w
anyway. Google apps were crashing and I thought it was because it didn't wipe user data. so I did that, rebooted, and... well, the GSI does not come with google apps. any way to get them from the Pixel's GSIs?
attaching pictures I took with my phone because the OS is super barebones without google apps so it's kinda meh and I also want you to see it's the tablet

ok so if you do this, flash the ones with GMS so you have google apps

How is the experience with this rom?
Being a GSI, do we still have Atmos ?

well, there's no UI for picking the accent color or icon shapes which is irking me big time. now with beta 2 more stuff got updated to what was shown at I/O, like the notification shade. it is laggy. I wouldn't recommend it unless you really can't wait for release. I don't know if it has Atmos but I doubt it
