Gold L29 - yay!
OK, I'm an Android phone snob. Chronic flasher, thought I'd only buy Nexus devices. Pixel XL not good enough for me. As much of a Google fan I am, that device is not an upgrade and looks like an iPhone. I'm keeping my Nexus 6, have Verizon grandfathered unlimited data, the Mate 8 will be a new play phone for me and wanted something flashy (LOL) with a BIG screen. I bought a pretty crystal butterfly grip/stand which will look so cool with the gold. Looks like a great device.
Was waiting for the Mate 9, but couldn't wait any more and seems the 9 isn't a huge upgrade from the 8. Processor looks better but I think I'll be happy with the 8, then wait for the 10 hoping that they make a little improvement with the screen resolution (I know it's not a huge difference to the eye, but still...).
I'm excited to unlock and root this thing, looks like the guides are pretty strong. Reading a lot on the ROM/tool options. Haven't unlocked bootloader on a device or rooted for 2 years since my N6....should be interesting. Not a large amount of development but I think I'll be happy here and will have a new hobby.
Welcome aboard!

Hi,
I can sense the happiness in your writing I feel the same too. Just purchased Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10 few days back. As soon I received my phone, I updated it to Android Nougat and the results are outstanding.
Phone is so much better. Battery life is fantastic. I already crossed 10 hour mark (screen on time) twice so far easily. Features are all working. I was bit sad not to find "double tap to wake up" by default even though I found few apps on google play store which fulfill this requirement. I was pleasantly surprised to find Call recording available even without root. Fingerprint feature is new for me, my previous phones didn't have it so I am really enjoying this feature. Camera is good too. Overall, Huawei did a brilliant job with this phone. There are so many reasons to smile with this phone. It is perfect in every way.
Huawei Mate 9 seems to have a better processor, GPU and camera. At the moment, it is expensive for me but I hope I am able to purchase it in coming months . I love Android phones, tablets and high performance laptops. I used to flash a lot with Samsung phones and tablets few earlier but I reduced it significantly over the years. And at the moment I am just having loads of fun with Mate 8 with Nougat I am sure you will have plenty of fun too once you update to Nougat. I highly recommend updating to Nougat to everyone. It is really awesome on this phone.
Cheers!

Thanks Sam - I'l take a look at Nougat update. I won't get it until Monday so I'll just keep reading until then! Super excited.
Just got my Mate 8! Ready to mod the hell out of it! [goes back to reading forum].

Hi,
You are right. There are bugs.
I have NXT-AL10 there are two more updates after B562. B573 and B575. They are slightly ok. I don't know what is the equivalent version of that for your model L29.But you might find minor improvements in the updates.
Can you take a screenshot of settings-> account e-mail>"add account" page?

So I spent several hours today with my Mate 8 unlocking bootloader and rooting. It was a little tricky, primarily with drivers issues - every device is different with unlocking/rooting. The whole DC unlocker and reading bootloader code - what fun!
So now I have a Mate 8 with unlocked bootloader and rooted...now what to do? Now I'm researching the different ROM options, nougat, etc. It still seems tricky with the encryption thing and the builds/versions thing and isn't as straight forward!
Back...to the boards.... LOL.
Love the device -- glad I got this thing.
just bought one a few hours ago today. replaced my (absolutely ****e battery life) 6P guess I know which board I will be on all night long tonight

If you're going to unlock and root it, give a shout if you run into any problems. I made it through but a few hiccups along the way.
Now the decision is what ROM to do!!!
It can get a bit tough especially with the bootloader code stuff. I recently did it myself and flashed it to L29c636b211 from c636b320 both stock and its running incredibly smooth and fast. Battery life is very solid as well.

Feel so embarrassed, the part on the bootloader code reading that got me what I thought I was all set when clicking Unlock OEM in developers settings and thought I didn't need to call in to change to manufacturer mode, but after a couple hours I realized I needed to do that! I'm glad though that I didn't wait the 14 days to get the code - seriously my impatience is worse than the $4.
If anyone has opinions on what ROM to flash please share. After the unlocking and rooting I'm ok with setting with a rooted stock Mate 8, but I'll get restless soon..... LOL.

i don't know why but i just got a feeling that you are flashoholic just like me, i was ok with stock rooted rom, but i needed to try something else, to change things a bit, so i had to flash nougat, and after that i found my self wanting to root, and i did it, so i am on rooted nougat Rom, i am so glad i did it, but still want more Lol

How did you get to nougat ROM? I am on l29. I am not clear how to get to any ROM given encryption and different builds and what you have to flash back to. Lol.

well i'm on L09 but the diference is just the model files everything else must be identical, the steps i followed are the following: 1- install twrp in your current emui version which i guess in your case should be 4.0 2- download the nougat Rom and the data file for your model and put it on your sd card 3-flash the rom first and then the data file (so far you are still encrypted but as you are using the sd card to flash the files then twrp is able to see them) 4- after you flash both of the files you will boot to nougat and can complete the initial settup process 5- now to get root (optional) you can flash twrp for nougat using fastboot and then the recommended supersu, the thread to do that is located somewhere in the development forum if i am not mistaken.... i know it was quite lenghthy but those are the steps i followed.

Thanks - very helpful! Helps me to understand the steps better.
I'm still reading about the ROM options - KangVIP, Twisted, Nougat...to see what I want to try first. :silly:
Keep us posted on what rom you try. Im also looking into nougat roms but have read so far they are not fully stable yet. My current rom, b211, runs perfect for me so i dont want to run into issues with essentially beta builds.
Will Le Eco allow us to unlock the bootloader?

It's best bang for your bucks for 300$. This phone is a beast it's flying through everything you throw at it and battery is crazy good.
There is some Roms for it if you like flashing them for different tastes. Roms are good, they similar I think just different flavours like I said, it work well most of them.
Should you buy it? Definitely you will be glad you did, Cheers

What do you expect honestly? You want top of the range hardware AND top software and development AND you expect the phone to cost 250dollars? You cant have all of these things for such money. You want more software development? Buy oneplus 3t, it has exactly what you want. Same hardware as le pro 3, just smaller battery and better amoled screen, also costs 200dollars more. Dont want spending more? This ia best device for money, end of story
All roms are same or similar, function of the phone is the same. Just some people addicted of flashing them.
We need few roms that work good thats enough. This phone had more than few good roms.

There is official lineage os 13 running on my phone right now which works quite well. I do not count on Leeco to deliver nougat quickly, but at some point they most likely will or someone will find a way to make the camera work otherwise. And what exactly would you need it for? I want it too but "need", no.

I was afraid you would ask , it's relatively poor. Relatively! I use it "normally", meaning whatsapp, telegram, Facebook, emails, a smartwatch keeps Bluetooth on, and I check news like 5 times a day. With that and putting it in flight mode over night, it lasts 2 days with around 3 - 5 hours SOT. Turbo's roms lasted around 50 % longer, standby and SOT, but in 2 different versions of his my phone didn't collect emails and messages which is a no go for me.
And lastly, my previous LG G4 lasted one day under those conditions, so I'm still quite happy.

Compared to stock, not great. BUT, compared to other devices, it is comparable.
I don't want to open a new thread for one question so I will ask here:
does this phone have dual-4g or one of SIMs have to work on GSM, just like in le1 pro?
Dual 4g, I use Vodafone for everything and have another 3gb lte data only from t-mobile in slot 2 as backup.

I don't know if you have been keeping track, but Lineage 14.1 just arrived, so much for no1 working on this . If you like, join the developers channel, you should soon see feedback there. I'll do the update tomorrow since it's too late for me now and my kids will wake me at 6, 7 if I'm really lucky ^^.
Buy it without thinking too much it's the best choice for the price
Hi,
Just receive it today.
I will post some photos soon

Cool I'm also interested in the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. I think it's a great phone but I'm not sure if it's good for CustomROMs. What do you think? Are Huawei phones more closed or are there many CustomROMs?

Quite honestly you most likely won't need to do any custom ROM flashing as it's already good out of the box, haven't done anything to my Mate 9 ever since I purchased it few months back, I'm a flash junkie but this is my first device where I didn't have to flash a ROM. You can go ahead and root it and enjoy the phone as is
Now to answer your question, it's a risky process to get to even flash a custom ROM on these things i know the Mate 9 has that risk idk about the 10 but I'm sure it's the same ordeal, hence why you don't see much ROM development

Yeah for me a good software support is essential. I don't want to buy a new device after 2 years just because the vendor stops shipping updates. I mean, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is expensive and I don't want to spend €800 every two years just because of a lack of software support. So I'm still not sure if I should buy a Mate 10 Pro but I think it's probably not the best fit for me.

If you want constant ROM development even after 2 years get a Pixel 2 or something along those lines, expensive but worth it IMO
Hey does it have DT2W on lockscreen? I asked many ppl but no one had the exact answer.
No, I have not found it
Some interesting things with 4G
And others with audio or Huawei Histen
This is not as question, but as discussion about our phone official support. And yes Mi A1 won't get Android Q:crying: According to Google answer Pixel/Android One phone receive at least 18 month for OS upgrade support. And as today (March 2019) it's already passed. It's about OS upgrades. Now about security updates. According to Google in past the Android One should have at least 3 years security updates support. But on October 2018 Google gave an official mandate about taking 2 years of security updates for popular Android phones (later in December 2018 Google change rules for Android One as well to 2 years). But since Xiaomi doesn't really care about Mi A1, it shows that the end of support is near (maybe 1 or 2 months).

Time to move to a custom ROM
At least, means it will get no less than 18 months new OS releases.
On the other side, i think it will sure get the new ''whatever-iteration-may-have'' Q version of android because there will be no major difference in OS and will be easy enough for developers to adapt.

Not sure for it. 18 months has passed just now. I don't have any hopes for xiaomi to make new update, just because they already showed how much quality they put in upgrate of phone (Android pie for exp.) Making android Q doesn't makes them any profit. And in their interest to get customers buy new devices.

I am on stock. No root. No nothing. And I really love my Mi A1. But every time I see people talking about loving custom ROMs I wonder what am I missing?
Does anyone have a solid official confirmation from Xiaomi that they won't be continuing to support the Mi A1 in terms of major OS updates? I'm thinking about moving to a custom ROM but I want to ensure that there won't be any major official updates coming anymore.

you miss a lot, but not need per se a custom rom, is enough root + all the goodies will come with root and customization.
force doze, custom kernel, magisk modules, google camera and so on.

To others, there is a lot. But to me, there is only 1 thing: stock doesn't support Ex-fat sd cards, and the only kernel that offer true Ex-fat support is custom roms only. On stock 8.1 I can live with a Magisk module that support Exfat but 9.0 is the main reason I jumped ship.
The unofficial los 16 by flex is an amazing rom don't let the unofficial bit put you off, it's the perfect daily driver, more customisation than stock but not ott like some roms
I am happy to have gotten 2 major updates, previously at this price point we would have been lucky to get 1, so android 1 program has increased value with updates. I was hoping to get 3 years of security updates, so disappointed Google has changed the requirement, but perhaps Xiaomi will honour the expectations when the device was released.
Even at 2 years I would still have bought the phone, but annoyed if it's changed after purchase.
I currently use Stock unrooted Rom, the first phone I haven't at least rooted, but I am sure the community will keep the phone going for another couple of years at least.
I bough this phone on Nov 2017 (if note mistaken) and I'm quite satisfy with the update from Nougat to Pie. But if you buy the phone later than that you probably feel not enough update (because you only receive Oreo to Pie update) but I believe you have received price drop compare to the initial release.
I prefer stable rather than updated OS. This device is already more than 1 year and new android OS will optimize new hardware, smartphone hardware obsolete very fast compare to PC or other device. There's no other choice if you want to optimize your phone to the latest android OS except buying new phone. I like to stay to the stock rom (with Magisk of course) till the end just to get full experience of Android One. I'm not gonna denied that Android One is a bit mess up either from manufacture side and Google itself. I will probably buy Android One device again in the future (few years from now) and see how much Android One will improve.

Same here, first ever un-touched stock. I'm still satisfied with this mid-low budget phone and that the OS is (pretty) free from "customization".
It is (was) a good bang for the buck when bought in Nov. -17 and still does it's job.
Features like GCam and similar were never promised or supported so that wasn't an issue for me nor a reason to root...
I've been using my OnePlus 7 pro since it first came out. I bought it when OnePlus offered it for sale at a low price and I loved it, from day one.
I am one to try different ROMs and Kernels but for the first time in Android history I was satisfied with Oxygen OS and didn't need a custom ROM. I do like to root the phone to use TWRP and Titanium Backup.
Somewhere along the line I thought I had bricked the phone. No matter what I did I could not get it working again or even run TWRP. So, as a last result, I decided to get another OnePlus phone, this time the 8 pro.
While using the 8Pro I learned of an app that let restore the phone to factory settings (MSM?). I tried it and I had my 7 pro back. Since I was using the 8 pro I decided to have an extra cell to use with wifi and the 7 went to live in my bedroom where I would use it nightly.
After a while, Android 11 came along and I could no longer use TWRP on the phone and it became overly difficult to root with magisk. After a while the 7pro got it working but never the 8pro. Not only that but the Bluetooth interface with my hearing aids started to malfunction regularly and this became a major headache. So I switched the SIM from the 8 to the 7 and everything works great and I'm so grateful it was able to be restored. It is head and shoulders greater than the 8pro and it as good as new.
I'm a little disappointed in OnePlus as they no longer offer regular software updates to their phones, and I'm pretty sure I will return to Google Pixel phones next time. I will sell the 8 and put the 7 in the bedroom as I have become accustomed to having one up there. I'm sure I can still depend on the 7pro for a long time more. I may switch to a custom ROM that is regularly updated unlike the OnePlus phones. But despite that, the 7pro is one of the best phones I've ever used. The 8 was great too, but just not for me.
They use the dual partition setup, which makes it more challenging for TWRP to be built.
What this means is that if you see an "OTA" update, you probably shouldn't jump on it and immediately install it. I did that once. After that I could not install TWRP because the phone had been updated from 10 to 11 and the TWRP team hadn't had time to release a new version yet.
Probably good advice on any phone though.... updates CAN stop you from having a rooted device, at least temporarily until a custom recovery is released.
As for my OnePlus 7 pro, i couldn't be happier.
I'm really glad that I paid the extra $200 for it on the OnePlus website.
Because that enabled Accident Protection.
At the end of the two year period, I set an alert to remind me, I called OnePlus and told them that i broke my back glass. They said No problem, send us the device and $75 deductible. Within 3 days I had my replacement device. Sure, it's probably a Re-man, but after 2 years of strong service and now I get a refreshed device??? I'll take it!
