ZTE Chinese Nougat?

Anyone received over here the Android 7.0 update for the Chinese version of Axon 7? I have a Chinese version of Axon 7 and there's still no update. US version first?

I have Chinese as well. No update here

Well I guess we have to wait a little bit more. Hope it's not going to get delayed for 1-2 weeks.

Don't worry guys G model also do not receive Nougat yet...

Should be out soon I suppose, next month probably. Still I'm thinking to go with LOS as it's already on N and available for Chinese version as well, and I'm starting to dislike the stock ROM.

Waiting for nougat too

Nova launcher, 3rd party dialer and texting app. Much better than stock all applications

Is it possible to flash A2017U firmware on A2017? If yes, would it be fully functional?

I want android 7 but setting up again my device would hack me off. Does it update without wiring out your phones look?

yes you can update to nougat with this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514/
But I can't get my signal to work properly. some users say they had fixed it by updating the modem but I can't have mine fixed even with Udev and saviour's modem.

I figured out that it was my sim card/provider is causing the trouble. when I tried with another sim provider, it works flawlessly.

I got tired of waiting for official N release so I've decided to flash LOS instead (never liked the stock MiFavor anyhow). I have to say it fixed some issues for me and for now I'm quite happy with it. Even my LTE issue is fixed (previously my device could not locate a 4G network - tried several operators). I'd recommend you guys giving it a try, at least for those who are not afraid of experimenting with the phone

How would you compare camera quality between stock rom and LOS?

I haven't tested it yet as I have flashed the LOS just several hours ago. Still trying to get a hang on some other things before I get to the camera.
I don't think it will be much worse (or much better for that matter). It is a phone camera and I've never expected much out of them and for the occasional use it should be enough, for taking good photos I'd pick a normal digital camera any day of the weak. And besides, if you don't like the LOS camera you can always install some other camera instead.
In any case, I'll take some photos with it tomorrow and post them here for your reference.

Thanks Jedi.Tester

[Q] What is the best ROM in 2019 for Note 4 Exynos

Hello & Happy New Year
Tell us what ROM you're using and for how long?
also what root method does it have [if it is rooted] : Magisk or SuperSu
Your Info can be great help for ppl on stock like me who wants to use a stable ROM ​
Have a nice day

If you started this topic than I would say that you should share with us first .

Go ahead and read the forum of Exynos. Try to understand what you want to do before you proceed, take risks and learn.
Hundreds of ppl here have done the same, it's no shame to it.
It's the best way to get your answers right.
Have a nice year, you'll need it.
PS: yes, it takes time, not everything in life is at the touch of a button

Best ROM is always stock ROM.
100 percent stable and everything works.
Use MagiSK if you want easy root / xposed.

Currently Refined Nougat, made under the XDA username Ananjaser1211
Its features:
—A fully ported Nougat ROM (7.0) with Samsung Experience v8.1
—+1 to +3 hours of SOT (Screen On Time) with edited kernel settings
—Everything that every Samsung phone offers (Edge Screen, Samsung Themes, etc.)
—Great Performance
—Root with either SuperSU or Magisk (I'm biased with the latter)
—Support for extended batteries
Some of Its Bugs and Fixes:
•Samsung Camera can't record videos—use other camera apps like Footej or Google Camera from APKMirror (the latest arm7 version only)
•Echo during calls—there's a fix for that on the first page, use that and use your earphones 'cause the fix will disable Loud Speaker mode
•No Blue Light Filter and AOD—use this at your own risk; for Blue Light Filter, use 3rd party apps like Twilight
•No fingerprint unlock—no hope on fixing that as its development stopped last month
•Broken RIL at N10U—no hope on fixing that
Been using this since August, and I'm not going back to Marshmallow ever again, because this gave life to my Note 4 from its rotten update. And despite of its bugs, they're so few that I can say that it is a stable ROM for the Note 4. Try it, and you won't regret it.

Let us know if you find Oreo lol.

You wait, 'cause the maker of Refined Nougat is building LineageOS 15.1 (Oreo) for the Exynos Note 4.

Nemesisrom 6.0.1
Is great rom
Stable with no problems in call or bt
I can't judge the speed compare to the stock but everything is good

It was. But then Anan changed his mind in the last minute, so, alas, he abandoned it and has never released it sadly. (Check the Refined Nougat Telegram group, and scroll your way up for verification.)
Update: Upon further checking, it's on the way. He just needs to fix audio, video recording, NFC, and RIL, then it should be good to go.

There is one LineageOS for the Exynos Note 4 (LineageOS 14.1), but it has had been abandoned, and IDK if it's stable.

Worth installing the 10 beta or wait?

Worth installing the Android 10 beta to use for a month or just wait for the November update to 10?

I think it is. Because OnePlus keeps some Features to Beta only. For example the better Network indicator on Pie.

Thanks for the info and reply!

If you depend/rely on your phone for your work/studies/life in general: No, first beta of a new OS version is synonymous of bad battery life, performance issues, crashes, glitches, etc, etc. On the other hand, if your phone isn't an "important" part of your life and you have time to do a clean flash when necessary, go ahead.

Personally i don't like to wipe my phone twice to switch to beta and back to stable. I'm tired of setting up my phone every time i want to check out a new ROM..

Yeah, I just stay on the beta track, it's easier.

I've been on the Open Beta for months. If the 10 beta is on the same track as the 9, I'm all in.

Well 10 has been out since July or so for our phones and has been stable since then. I been of and on 10 since then. Mainly depends on how custom of a system you want. Something's like bromite webview I cannot seem to get to work in 10. Carrier video calling is iffy with t mobile. And currently WiFi calling seems broken although it may be working in oos I am using aosip. Android auto mirroring works just fine. Aa browser seems broken but any webview works if you need a web browser for android auto. Other than that I cannot see any errors. Oh yeah one more thing is that I cannot seem to find a setting for agps I guess location is either on or off and apps can decide to use agps or not.

If your phone, like mine, is VITAL for work, and it's working fine now, I'd just wait instead of having to blow everything out and start for scratch. It's going to be released in a few weeks anyway, so what's your hurry?

Best Custom ROM For The Essential PH-1?

I've been thinking about flashing a custom ROM onto my Essential, but, unlike the S4's GoldenEye, there are no clearly stable ROMs I've heard of. So, if it's not a bother, could you guys recommend a good, stable custom ROM for beginners? I'd like one I can stick with for a while without any huge bugs to get me to jump ship. Thanks for reading. A response would be greatly appreciated.
P.S: Please, none of the "Stock is best". The amount of forums I've seen where those are the only replies are ridiculous, as they don't even actually answer the question at hand.

I don't think you'll get an answer to your question because I don't think anyone has tested all ROMs and compared them. Even then it would be kinda subjective. I did install Paranoid quartz v1 and am using it as a daily driver. Only issue with this ROM is that the device is not certified in Play Store so I can't install Netflix without some extra tinkering. Besides that, the ROM is awesome. I also tried the second version of this ROM, but it seems to have a battery issue.

Hey. I downloaded Evolution X, and I plan to flash it tomorrow. What build are you on? I downloaded 4.20, but I'd like to know which is the nlst recent stable build. I'd like to stick with a custom ROM for a while without switching due to bugs, if I can. Thanks.

Thanks. Texting you from Evolution X 4.2. It runs great. Only minor thing that bugs me is that I can't take away permissions from Google apps. But, like I said, that's pretty much a non-issue, especially when you look at the features and customization options. Thanks to everyone for the help. Have a good one.

Haven't tested that out yet. It is on September 2019 build, though, But, I just called my carrier, and they picked up just fine. Although, that may be because it's my carrier. I'll try with a real number later, and I'll report back. Thanks for the heads-up.

If you have no sound when calling or receiving, in Phone - Setting - Accessibility, make sure Hearing aids is switch off. It's been turn on by default in some cases. I didn't know this until I change to another ROM.

RevOS-MIUI rumoured to have added support for Mi Mix 5g

Does anybody have experience with this rom? They mentioned on a twitter post earlier this week that support for Mi Mix 5g will be added soon.
https://twitter.com/RevOSTechs/status/1260523438877429763/photo/1

I think I'm going to try it right now.

Please report back how it goes, especially with functionality. They are claiming MIUI 12 so I am keen to see what is and isn't working.

I have successfully downloaded and flashed it! ?
Hello,
I am here, from Kuala Lumpur, MY
As for now, so far so good. Need to experience more the latest miui12!
See yeah!

I'd say the same. Everything works well except for some minor minor bugs with the dark mode and 3rd part apps (like SwiftKey) and the fact that it's not that fast and smooth as the previous one I had (pixel experience). The main camera app works as well and video recording works too (but for some reason it records only up to 1080p 60 fps). The main question I have now is about the battery drain. I hope it's at least as optimized as the pixel experience is.

Great reports,
Interesting about the video working to 1080p. Any idea if 5g connectivity is working?
I wonder what they have based this on as there is only MIUI 11 beta ROM in circulation as far as I know and this registers as MIUI12.

I think they kinda ported the ROM from the one for the Xiaomi K20 Pro since they have quite the same hardware. I read once that, even if it's very risky, you can force flash a K20 ROM on the Mi MIX 3 and it will boot anyway. Unfortunately I can't test the 5G network, BUT:
There's no "Tethering USB" option in the settings. This functionality is disabled for some reason.
There's no "Hotspot" option in the settings. This functionality is disabled too :crying:
The ROM is quite laggy (Don't know if it's because of a conservative governor or if it's just about a bad optimization).
I think I'll roll back to pixel experience, too many problems that need to be solved yet.

The official RevOS website says, that the 5g rom is a port from the mi8SE firmware.
I tried it again and now it seems to work. But I can't set the Fingerprint. Did you tested the Fingerprint and if yes, was it working?

Guys, is this an official ROM of MIUI for MIX3 5G? It will be update normally?

Actually I don't remember of testing the fingerprint scanner, but it's always the first thing I set during the first set-up, so I don't remember if it worked on my phone or if I skipped that step XD
A porting from a completely different phone with a different SoC family and model, different modem (and it's not even compatible for the 5G), different screen type and resolution? The only thing matching between the Mi 8 SE and the Mi Mix 3 5g is the main camera sensor XD And I'm not even considering that there are different approaches to the light sensor/proximity sensor and so on. I mean, why?

Maybe the challenge strange, I haven't got any set up screen. Straight into the launcher. I will test PE instead. Sounds promising, thanks for that.

No I don't think they will, the Mi MIX 5G is (officially?) abandoned, although there is a petition here:
https://www.change.org/p/xiaomi-corporation-upgrade-mi-mix-3-5g-flagship-to-miui-11
So maybe Xiaomi will notice that that wasn't a fair and smart move, I mean, forgetting about their first 5G smartphone (and in general, one if not the first 5G smartphone ever made), with top-notch features, initially sold for around 600$ is nearly like a scam.
Anyway, I don't suggest you install the Revos porting at the moment. It lacks many basic features (such as USB tethering or the Wi-Fi hotspot) and it's very, very laggy.
