[Stock Rom] [Lenovo P2] [MM 6.0] [Deodexed_P2a42_S62_170117_ROW]

Move to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/stock-rom-nougat-7-0-t3590122
Deodexed mean everything reunified and put back inside apk and jar file.
Compare 1400mb stock rom, this rom only 800mb very small foot print, Deodexed_P2a42_S62_170117_ROW rom will take much less space in system file, result is reduce system file till 63℅ free space.
Features:
remove some bloadware,
added lenovo gallery,
added latest/update gapps,
added dolby atmos,
added root,
added xposed,
Always do backup rom first.
Flashing only with latest twrp-3.1.0-0, or above to avoid encryption problem and loosing data later, see in my another thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/unofficial-twrp-3-0-2-0-p2a42-t3573308
Before flashing to wipe dalvik cache, system, data and cache,
change data system to ext4,
now install rom from zip file
Reboot to system, don't do anything just wait around 7-10 minute till appear.
Done!!!
See the different system running more faster, smooth, better benchmark result.
Bugs!!!!!!!! nothing, everything working as normal,
if any, only came from original firmware stock rom

Nice job

Please keep Gapps and lenovo clutter optional .
I hope you removed lenovo's spying systems.

Need to be extracted first, and put this folder in where backups located wherever in sd or extsd

Maybe going to flash only system and leave my data untouched. Possible?

Yes, if your rom came from stock rom, when finish flash restored from this backup rom just flash dalvic cache and cache you data will not go but it will take time around 10-15 minute to wait after reboot just be passion to wait

Sure I extracted the zip file, I have the folder containing the system, data etc. It's just not visible in the menu, I don't know why.

May be that's the case! I'm using the official 3.0.3.0

Working path in twrp 3.0.3 is /external_sd/TWRP/BECKUPS/folder Deodexed stock rom P2a42_S062_170117_ROW or /external_sd/TWRP/BECKUPS/any name folder/folder Deodexed stock rom P2a42_S062_170117_ROW

could it be ( i know this is a long shot ) because its a backup of another users phone that TWRP cant find it ?
Maybe it can only find backups that were created on your own phone

Ok finally sorted it out! it was indeed a path problem. I made a small backup of EFS to see where it will be saved. The directory was /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOURPHONESERIALNUMBER/.
My serial was like this ZY2XXXXXXX. 10 digits. Initially I was placing the backup just in /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS.
I see you disabled the theme center, also can you do something with the icons as they look like from 90'.

Yes, a noob mistake I know i know Sorry, I don't use the backup restore functions of twrp very often. Thanks for the rom, I'm using it right now. If newer version comes out feel free to share a backup again as I'm tired of this fastboot flashing.

If next firmware stock rom nougat release, i will try to deodexed again, in case rom small as size aosp rom

Now I'll test the battery life on S062 compared to my stock S056. Do you have any issues with the battery, lasting less? Did you noticed they removed the fast charging, the phone is charging hell slow right now? It's good for the battery's health, because this insane fast charging will kill the battery internals noticeably faster.

Maybe it's related with the modem, look for that and get some information how to flash the correct one.

I don't know what custom ROMs you had problems with but some need specific firmware to be flashed in order for things to work right. Usually that information is somewhere in the description of the ROM features and sometimes download links are also included. When you flashed custom ROMs did you clean flash them? You need to wipe the cache, system and data when changing ROMs. You also might need to flash back to stock before flashing some custom ROMs but if that's the case it should say that in the instructions for the ROM.

if you are trying to use lineageos 15 for your daily driver you are insane. Just use stock oxygen or freedomOS. Oreo is not official on OP5 yet you cant expect to use it and have it be flawless. Most apps i use dont even run on Oreo when i tried it. just revert.

Yes im sure the answer is actually as simple as wiping the device completely. Wipe all partitions and then format data. When formatting data if you forget to fix your internal storage rights you cant download anything so make sure you go to advanced then fix contents in twrp before installing stock oxygen. Once it is done boot the phone and let it go and try to connect to wifi. If you can then wipe your phone out and reinstall LAOS 15

Just tried this while installing ViperOS v3.0. No Luck...
This also happens when trying to install other roms such as AICP and Slimrom 7.
Any ideas?

Yea use twrp 3.1.1-1 to install the latest stock 4.5.13. make sure you wipe everything and re format everything. Just drop your necessary files onto a secondary source like a pc or google drive. After u wipe that stuff out reboot back to recovery. Go to advanced on the main menu and and fix contents. Do not skip this step or you wont have storage permissions which is necessary for installing roms properly. After that ensure everything is mounted on the mount section in the main menu. U should see a "firmware" option added as well, be sure that is checked too. Install stock 4.5.13 and see if wifi works. It should, if not it could be a hardware issue.

Gonna do a second post for another manner on this topic. Just use stock. Aint nothing wrong with it, its actually beautiful. Dont listen to whoever says its bloated or whatever. Its all allowed to be disabled if u dont want it. Stock rom with stock kernel is far better than any rom or kernel out there. Think of it this way, you have a device that an entire company made sure the software worked on that specific device as opposed to a single person or a group of 5 or so people made software that needs to run on any device. IE Lineage/Aosp and whatever customized stock oxygenos is out there. I use stock and stock kernel with kernel adiutor to disable some kernel features i dont need like input boost for example to save a lot of juice. I always test certain scripts for stock oxygen on the 3t and the 5 to maximize battery. I play with linux a lot so i merely tweak a few settings and turn some stuff off and on and run whatever for about a week to see which script works best for battery life and performance. Gotta say i cant pull certain SoTs or performance tests off stock because of instability or them being simply inferior. Flashing a bunch of things is cool but try to simmer down and come back to stock after youve exhausted all possibility of gaining more battery time.

I do have WiFi on stock roms and all OOS roms, just a heads up. Every time I flash them I am good on WiFi.
I'll be sure to check out the fix contents button in recovery.
So to flash CM roms and AOSP I should do this...
Flash Stock 4.5.13 > wipe > format > fix contents> check mounts (firmware checked) > flash custom roms

Soft Reboots Leading to Bootloop

Hey guys, not exactly sure where to post this since this has happened to me both with AICP and now once with Dark Rom. So simply put I am just using my phone and then randomly it soft reboots. I hurry and take some logs before the next. Then the next. Then it keeps doing this with each time between getting shorter until it just won't fully boot up without wiping dalvik and cache.
I am using Dark Rom at the moment with A2017U version and the stock kernel that comes with Darkrom. However I believe I did have it with LlamaSweet as well. The only modifications I have done are magisk and trying out jococ v2 tweak which I doubt either is the cause.
Has anyone had ant issues like this or does anyone know how to fix it? I hate knowing it's random and it may make my alarm clock not go off if it is in a bootloop.
Hope to get some help with this! Thanks!

No idea, not a dev. But I've read somewhere that Magisk 14.5 might be the culprit. I had this exact same problem on LineageOS. I made a backup of the system that was doing this, then wiped system and data, flashed LOS, booted it, then went to TWRP, wiped system and data, and restored the backup (only system, boot and data backed up). That solved it until you rebooted or the phone just decided to reboot itself...

By doing this what would be the benefit? From what I can see you are basically back at point A by restoring the files. But yeah I do have magisk 14.5 installed... I had some problems with 14 but I'll see if I can get it to work this time. Thanks!

Thats Interesting. Well it happened again and logs were empty again... So I moved back to magisk 14.0 if that doesn't work I'll try restoring system and data.

@JTruj1ll0923,,
Hi,
you can try to backup before hard reset your phone. Usually, the LlamaSweet and DARK ROM are not compatibile with A2017G, so ZTE stock ROM would be a better choice.

How I got 12h+ SOT on my 5T

Alright, so now that a hand full people asked me how I got over 12h of sceen on time, I'm writing this post.
First of all, SOT depends on your usage, so the result might be different for you.
Anyway, here is what I did:
!!! You need a unlocked bootloader !!!
1. Clear all phone data.
(I used stock Recovery to wipe internal storage, since TWRP is bugging in wiping the internal storage and my PC didn't recognize my device's storage)
2. Flash TWRP (I used the blu_spark version)
3. Install the latest stable OOS (4.7.6 for me) in TWRP from here
( https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ficial-oxygen-os-roms-and-ota-updates.686610/ )
4. Once the device booted, do not start to set it up. (Stay at the Welcome screen!!)
5. Power off your device.
6. Reboot in fastboot mode, flash TWRP again and reboot directly into recovery mode.
7. Once in TWRP, connect your device to your PC and drag the latest Magisk.zip and NewKernel.zip to your devices root directory (I used NewKernel v1.08 and Magisk 15.2, NewKernel can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/development/newkernel-t3710363/page43 )
8. Flash Magisk first, after that (without rebooting) NewKernel.
9. Then wipe cache, dalvik and reboot.
10. After set up and you installed the Apps you need, charge your phone to 100%)
11. Install Greenfiy. (Just go for the version found in the Playstore) If you don't like Greenify, I know what your thinking, but trust me.
11. Greenify the apps that are draining your battery. (I attached a screenshot of my greenified apps)
12. Boom, enjoy your new battery life!
(If you have any problems with internal storage, (which shouldn't happen) fix contents in TWRP)
~Use NewKernel v1.08 because 1.09 has wifi issues.~

That's with Stock + Greenify before coming across your guide.
Had issues with third party Kernels on other devices in the past so I stay away from them now.
If the kernel recommended supports Oreo then I may give it a shot.

lol im so confused. i flashed stock boot.img then new kernel 1.08 then magisk 15.0 and my wifi didnt work.
so i restore a backup of my working boot.img and tried your way.
Downloaded stock boot.img flashed it, then flashed magisk 15.2 then new kernel 1.08. (im like wtf how will i keep root but it did. coz i though magisk "lives" in the boot.img)
but it worked. wifi works with safetynet intact

I think the problem was with Magisk 15.0. I also had trouble with this version, but no wifi issues. My phone took almost 3 min to boot. This was fixed in 15.1 and 15.2 was more optimized.
I'm glad it worked

For that you dropping a donation link? C'mon bro. You only using your screen. No apps, no games nothing. Just Chrome was used. Everyone can get this good SOT with that app-usage. Actually its better to hold the apps in ram than force close it
Everyone wants money for minimum work....

I use Greenify Magisk Version.
Naptime and Servicely, Naptime Doze is advanced than Greenify Doze. all pro versions
Hibernate the crappy system apps and you're good to go.

1. I've had this phone for more than 2 months now and I've been modding my phone ever since, no problems whatsoever.
2. I didn't try removing Google stuff from the phone but some people have done it. Search around for that as i don't know exactly.
3. Lineage and most other roms are perfectly fine. I personally Recommend AEX but Lineage is also very good.
4. I personally think the phone will still be supported even after official support is over since there's pretty much a new rom every other week so I don't think you need to worry about support for the next 2-3 years
