[FIX][GSI][TWRP] Mi Max 3 ROMs - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

What is this topic about?
I've spent quite some time writing fixes for GSIs to work properly on our Mi Max 3.
As part of that, we now have a list of easily flashable fully working Mi Max 3 ROMs to pick from.
This topic will be used to keep track of all fully working ROMs and of course to host the latest set of GSI patches / flash templates.
Available ROMs:
These have been tested and confirmed fully working (sans ROM-specific bugs).
AOSiP
Build date: 2019-05-14
Patch date: 2019-05-17
Flashing guide:
Unlock your device's bootloader.
Flash nijel8's modded TWRP recovery.
Pick and download one of the available ROMs.
Reboot into TWRP recovery and flash your ROM of choice.
Go into TWRP's wipe menu and "factory reset" your device (aka. slide the bar).
Flash Gapps (Opengapps / Bitgapps) if your ROM of choice requires / you want it.
Reboot your phone and set it up to your liking.
How can I get my ROM of choice listed here?
Download the TWRP package template from here!
Grab a GSI of your choice and unpack the system image (if it is compressed).
Rename the unpacked system image to system.img and place it inside the system folder inside the template zip file.
Rename the resulting zip file accordingly, flash it, test it, and after you've confirmed everything's working fine, upload and share it.
How do I enable DT2W (double-tap to wake)?
Create a file named "enable_dt2w" (without the quotes) in your device's internal storage.
Reboot your device.

Stuck how? If you have "unlock" trouble, as in, your PIN won't let you in, use the "Remove lockscreen" option inside TWRP to remove your previous lockscreen data.

No no, when you reboot your phone there is first MI logo and unlocked sign at bottom. I cant get pass that screen.

Before installing their zip, they had some lags in screen transitions and to slide and open apps. Now, everything got more fluid and faster. It was great ... until voLTE is working (and my operator informed me that my device was not compatible with haha).

What vendor is your device on? Many GSI's only start at a particular vendor (Oreo or Pie).

Make sure the GSI you picked supports Pie vendors.
Not every GSI does... and the ones that are still stuck on Oreo vendors are... troublesome, to say the least.

AOSiP supports pie vendor and so does pixel experience but no luck. If i update recocery, will that help? I really wanna try one gsi if lag is now fixed.

The last time I had problems in booting the GSI roms I did the following:
1- I reinstalled the latest global version of Miui Oreo via miflash (Beware of ARB)
2- Logged in the Mi account, enabled the USB debugging and installation by ADB settings to install the TWRP
3- I installed TWRP (nijel8's modded), formatted the data and then installed xiaomi.eu
4- I configured the device and made a backup of xiaomi.eu
5- As I already had the files, I installed AOSIP, without deleting the system, just cleaning the data of xiaomi.eu
6- After the boot, I installed the gapps and magisk.
I never had any problems installing GSI's on my device.
When I was in Miui Oreo, I tested some roms that only boot the Oreo vendor (Bootleggers, PixelDust among others), but I think with the Oreo vendor they spend a little more battery life.
(hope this helps you)

guys, i want to try this but not trigger arb, with .eu or aosp, pixel experience etc.. i'll trigger it?

No ARB on xiaomi.eu as they don't ship firmware into it. No ARB on gsi of course. So no worry about it

So if i install this rom https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-10-0-10-1-10-2-stable-release.47170/ i'm ok and without arb? I get confused because on the image they say mi max 3 has arb, if they mean the official 10.2 has arb, why even put the image in the .eu version? It just confuses people.
So i go with this rom reach setup screen, recovery and install the gsi rom?

Try the xiaomi.eu versions from last month based on installing AOSiP. Today I tried with the versions of this month and did not boot.

I am having the exact same issue. I followed the guide and installed the latest xiaomi.eu 9.3.7 beta and boot no problem then i flash gsi .img and it gets stuck at MI Logo and wont go any further. I have tried latest xiaomi.eu beta, stable, last months, month before that. All xiaomi.eu boot fine without issue but as soon as I flash any gsi .img it gets stuck at MI Logo screen? Am I doing something wrong?
Also the gsi i am using is latest pixel experience arm64 A only.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same. I tried 3 different GSI roms and kept being stuck on the mi logo... :'(

only aosp gsi works, still getting android.process.media and bluetooth crashes
Edit: instead of com.android.media it was android.process.media

I tried installing Descendant_TwoDotOne. It stuck on the mi logo when pairing it with xiaomi.eu 9.3.7 & 9.3.1. It works perfectly when paired with xiaomi.eu 9.2.21 (or earlier version should work). I guess there may be some changes made to the 9.3 version vendor content leading to this problem.

You're my hero! That did the trick. ;D

So can i normaly flash older xiaomi.eu version without fear of ARB?

OP post updated with a new package.
Changelog:
Tweaked the governor to boost properly and use the 1.6 / 1.8GHz maximum little / big frequencies. (Everything's even smoother now~)

[DISCUSSION][OT][9.x]Pie ROM Discussion thread for Titan

This thread is opened for users discussions about Pie ROMs, updates, fixes, mods or anything else, since YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT OFF TOPICS AT ROM DEVELOPMENT thread, so feel free to discuss about Pie stuffs for titan here
Currently developed Android 9.x Pie ROMs are:
1. LineageOS 16.0 By @RenanQueiroz
2. Xperience 13.0 By @TeamMex
3. (Abandoned)PixysOS By @thedeadfish59(Abandoned)
4. AOSP Extended Pie Unofficial by @Jorge_8
5. AICP Pie Unofficial by @thedeadfish59
6. Resurrection Remix Pie Official by @thedeadfish59
7. Pixel Experience Pie Official by @thedeadfish59
Known Issues:
NONE (All credits goes to @RenanQueiroz , without his hard work, it wouldnt be possible)
FAQ:
1: Can I dirty flash over LOS 15.1?
A: No, Clean flash is recommended, go to TWRP, wipe everything except internal storage+sdcard, flash ROM+GAPPS Pico, if root needed then Magisk 16.7 is the solution which is recommended for both AOSP based or LOS based
2. Pie seems laggy often, any fixes? ?
A: Due to skiagl renderer, our legacy device titan might work slowly with it, solution is switching to OpenGL, significant improvement will be noticable, how to do this? Simple flashable zip made by @DanGLES3 , have a look into his thread here
3. When next build will arrive?
A: No ETA
4. Any sound mods work with Pie?
A: Check #2 thread for ViperFX
5. Can FaceUnlock can be enabled on Pie?
A: Why Not? Go here
FAQ generated by @bejunk that'd be helpful to Pie users ig
1: Can I dirty flash over LOS 15.1?
A: No, clean flash is needed.
2. How i install Pie?
A: Go to TWRP, wipe everything except internal storage+sdcard, flash ROM+GAPPS Pico, if root needed then Magisk 16.7 is the solution which is recommended for both AOSP based or LOS based.
3. But i want to have Google speech recognition, offline speech files (recognition) etc. (GApps nano) ?
A: Our /system partition is too small to fit Pie ROM + nano Gapps, but there is a solution: (we need to free some storage in /system):
1. Clean install needed, after wiping only flash ROM + Magisk zip. Boot the ROM
2. From apkmirror.com download Solid Explorer (recommended) or Mixplorer, also download "Android System Webview Google", "Google Keyboard" (or any other you normally use)
and Android Messages from Google. -> install them all. Enable Google Keyboard + Messages as default in Settings. In developer options enable Google webview as default.
Now with the explorer, navigate to /system/app and /system/priv-app: delete the "webview" + "LatinIME" + "messages" folder. When asked for root, grant it.
3. Now there should be enough space to install GApps nano, so boot to recovery and install GApps nano (if it still says insufficient storage, open GApps zip using
7zip and delete the app-sizes.txt)
4. Reboot, after login in you should be greeted with the Google setup screen which will download all your settings & apps.
4. How to enable Google Assistant:
A: You need root & a root explorer, maybe a texteditor app:
navigate to /system/ and backup your build.prop to internal first, just in case. Then open it with an editor
and add "ro.opa.eligible_device=true" so it looks like this:
Code:
...
#
# ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES
#
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
keyguard.no_reqiure_sim=true
...
-> save & reboot. Note: it may take 1-2 days until Assistant appears, you can try trigger it via home button-longpress
7. Regarding Pixel Launcher's: (if you want more customization and/or Google feed & weather (optional)):
A: There are currently 3 choices:
1. "Original" Pixel Launcher: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77741983&postcount=257
-> Pie "app open" animations + dock icons in recents
-> no customization really
-> Google feed & weather works
2. "Rootless Launcher" by amirzaidi: (Playstore)
-> NO Pie "app open" animations + dock icons in recents
-> a little bit more customization
-> need to install Pixelbridge for Google feed & weather (see Playstore description)
3. "Ruthless Launcher" by shubbby https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-ruthless-pixel-launcher-based-t3755903
-> NO Pie "app open" animations + dock icons in recents
-> A LOT of customizations, full Icon pack support (per app) and much more, fully stable.
-> need to install Pixelbridge for Google feed & weather (latest build in his TG release channel)
Developers who are behind to bringup Pie to our titan:
1: @LuK1337 , he is lit, all of our works based on his codes
2: @RenanQueiroz instead of abandoning this device, this guy bringing fixes to almost every issues
2: @Allstargaurav for his various tree helps
So, feel free to discuss about anything (Pie) here from now, that can be OT, unofficial builds, build issues and anything that doesnt violate XDA rules, cheers

face you have to install the Magisk manager after the zip, it is not automatic with previous versions of android.

I have a question devs and it is possible to have the treble project on our beloved titan?
Thanks :good:

Guys,
Android 9 has a lot of improvements in the audio system, and it looks like Pie ROMs are even stabler than Oreo ones.
Is there a chance that Bluetooth will be fixed in the upcoming releases?

I have been using los 16.0 and its so great till now.
I heard that boot animation of xperience 13.0 is great. Can some one having the ROM just take that file and send it to me so that I can just replace it in my phone.
Thanks in advance

It's probably never going to be fixed. @RenanQueiroz could say something about this, but I understand him: no one is going to make a stable port of Android 9 for a device that is >4 years old. Just stick with Nougat.

[INDEX] List of ROMs for Y6(2018)

Hi guys! This is a compilation of working and non-booting Treble Oreo ROMs for Huawei Y6 (2018). Full list of Treble Project ROMs is here. This list is still incomplete as I have not tested all ROMs listed in the link above. Therefore, if anyone tried a custom ROM not listed on this thread, please post it here so I can update this thread.
Please do note that I am not a ROM developer, you can still post bugs here so others will know and also on the ROM thread so we can hope for fixes.
We should thank @phhusson for all the works he's done to Project Treble
Project Treble ROMs are ROMs that are built to support as many devices as possible that support Treble. Treble devices, usually ship with Android Oreo pre-installed, therefore, our Huawei Y6 (2018) should technically boot any GSI/Treble ROM. But still, custom GSI ROMs are still not perfect and some devices may have bugs and some devices may not be unable to boot a particular ROM at all
Please read the wiki here about Y6 first
Prerequisites:
unlocked bootloader
adb and fastboot installed on your computer
How to flash ROMs for our device?
Before flashing, follow my guide HERE so you can always go back to stock ROM just in case. Also, make sure you downloaded an ARM64 A only image. This procedure erases your files so have a backup of your important files
Some ROM threads provide downloads in .zip file or in tar.xz file instead of .img files to save internet usage. Install 7-zip on Windows, open the file and extract the flashable .img file
1. Plug your device to the computer and reboot to download mode using this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Flash your desired ROM using this command:
Code:
fastboot flash system <ROM file here, should be a .img file>
3. Reboot!
Code:
fastboot reboot
4. When you see the warning "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted", press the Volume up button and your device will go to erecovery. There, you can select Factory Reset
Usually, custom ROMs come with 2 variants:
Vanilla - this is a plain ROM with no GApps and su (root access)
GApps - a ROM with Google Apps (Play Store, etc.). Usually comes with root access too!
Here is the list of ROMs that are tested. Feel free to post ROMs that are working for our device
1. CrDroid by @Dil3mm4
2. LineageOS by @phhusson
3. OmniROM Treskmod by @Letzen
4. Resurrection Remix by @mracar
5. Pixel Experience by @jhenrique09
6.AOSP 8.1 - older than v25 ONLY!! by @phhusson Download the old version here
7.Bootleggers ROM by @Dil3mm4
8. Havoc OS 08/19 build by @
EnesSastim
9.Descendants threedotzero by @Dil3mm4
Tested not working:
1. AOSP Extended by @AryanPatidar - I only tried the latest version v5. 8, older versions may/may not work
2. AOKP by @sixohtew - I only tried the latest version, older versions may/may not work
3.AOSP v25 and later(?) by @phhusson

Ai ai ai, mine (OmniROM Treskmod) was meant to be work on Huawei anyway so it should work fine. Good luck, everyone.

Nothing I can do about GPS as I'm not a ROM developer. Battery life is a bit less compared to stock

Thread updated!
Added Bootleggers and AOSP 8.1 to the list
Updated instruction for non img downloads

GPS works perfectly in my device (ATU-L42)
I've tried pixel experience and lineage 15.1
In pixel experience signal bar works on all connection types but not in lineage 15.1
Only bug I found in pixel experience is auto brightness isn't working

Hi guys! This is a compilation of working and non-booting Treble Oreo ROMs for Huawei Y6 (2018). Full list of Treble Project ROMs is here. This list is still incomplete as I have not tested all ROMs listed in the link above. Therefore, if anyone tried a custom ROM not listed on this thread, please post it here so I can update this thread.
Please do note that I am not a ROM developer, you can still post bugs here so others will know and also on the ROM thread so we can hope for fixes.
We should thank @phhusson for all the works he's done to Project Treble
Project Treble ROMs are ROMs that are built to support as many devices as possible that support Treble. Treble devices, usually ship with Android Oreo pre-installed, therefore, our Huawei Y6 (2018) should technically boot any GSI/Treble ROM. But still, custom GSI ROMs are still not perfect and some devices may have bugs and some devices may not be unable to boot a particular ROM at all
The bugs for Y6 (2018) is found here :
Bootloop for all Android 9.0 ROM's
Bootloop for the latest AOSP 8.1 v25
Signal bar stays empty on h/h+ but works on e
GPS isn't working.
Prerequisites:
unlocked bootloader
adb and fastboot installed on your computer
How to flash ROMs for our device?
Before flashing, follow my guide HERE so you can always go back to stock ROM just in case. Also, make sure you downloaded an ARM64 A only image. This procedure erases your files so have a backup of your important files
Some ROM threads provide downloads in .zip file or in tar.xz file instead of .img files to save internet usage. Install 7-zip on Windows, open the file and extract the flashable .img file
1. Plug your device to the computer and reboot to download mode using this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Flash your desired ROM using this command:
Code:
fastboot flash system <ROM file here, should be a .img file>
3. Reboot!
Code:
fastboot reboot
4. When you see the warning "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted", press the Volume up button and your device will go to erecovery. There, you can select Factory Reset
Usually, custom ROMs come with 2 variants:
Vanilla - this is a plain ROM with no GApps and su (root access)
GApps - a ROM with Google Apps (Play Store, etc.). Usually comes with root access too!
Here is the list of ROMs that are tested. Feel free to post ROMs that are working for our device
1. CrDroid by @Dil3mm4
2. LineageOS by @phhusson
3. OmniROM Treskmod by @Letzen
4. Resurrection Remix by @mracar
5. Pixel Experience by @jhenrique09
6.AOSP 8.1 - older than v25 ONLY!! by @phhusson Download the old version here
7.Bootleggers ROM by @Dil3mm4
Tested not working:
1. AOSP Extended by @AryanPatidar - I only tried the latest version v5. 8, older versions may/may not work
2. AOKP by @sixohtew - I only tried the latest version, older versions may/may not work
3.AOSP v25 and later(?) by @phhusson

??Unzip the file
??Copy or Cut and Paste every files in Root directory /vendor/ect some files go on /ect some on /ect/audio. Replace files if already existing. Then set every files to 0644 permission (Rw R -R) and reboot.
? If this technique don't work (can't copy on root directory of missing files after reboot) you'll need to do this changes through TWRP in file manager move every files one by one and one by one set chmod to 0644 for EVERY files. This technique can't fail.

Hi,
Thanks for this... But how is this a guide to boot a GSI image ?
Unless I've missed something, it's only a list of GSI ROM with a comment if they boot or not
As far as I am concerned, I tried to install Resurrection Remix following the "How to install RR on mi Max 3".
I sticked to the guide step by step...
In the end, it did not boot and got stuck on RR bootanim...
So my experience : being able to boot a mi Max 3 with a GSI ROM is like the lottery : sometimes you win, but more often you loose
My conclusion ? Treble is a nice idea. Support from manufacturers is terrible...
My question : why are manufacturers so eager to protect their own **** ? What does Xiaomi have to loose if a customer uninstalls MIUI ? Same goes for Huawei. Especially for HUAWEI. They got such a nice feature called eRecovery. In case your device doesn't reboot because you did something wrong, you can always reboot into "eRecovery" and download the latest version of eMUI from there... Evey manufacturer should do that and allow to unlock the bootloader and install a GSI ROM...

I've tested all (all the same) listed here. Most have problems when the device restarts (at least in my case). Any version of October and November work well with either the Oreo or Pie vendor. The only one that worked well now being released in January is NitrogenOS. By the way I used this rom to boot the Havoc released in January and it worked. But by successive installations, in the TWRP appears the message that the system partition needs cleaning. Overall, the idea of GSI is fantastic, but there are so many devices that hardly a rom of these will work perfectly. There will always be a bug here, another bug and nothing working as it needs to. I even cleaned the system partition, but it gave brick and I had to reinstall the miui by fastboot. What we needed was a proper rom for the Mi Max 3, but I find it difficult. I have tried a lot to use some GSI because this miui is more disappointing than the Huawei emui.

1. Under each rom you've the way we get it to boot. It's not a guide but each rom use one way or most to boot. So that's why I get them all together here. And we can update this list when gsi testers on mi max 3 tell me if they boot or not.
2. If you missed to boot RR, consider to change your recovery to Nigel TWRP as we using it. Because with Oreo vendor's way on stable eu 10.2.1. I flash it everytime without problem and already did it 6 or 7 times.
3. We don't have choice to use Gsi until, Nigel make a booting LOS, but pie kernel sources are not out for our phone, we need to wait Miui Pie stable on my opinion.

What kind of problems ? Something changed between Oct/November and December/January, don't know why. But with nigel recovery we boot them (listed here). Only LiquidRemix is a bit tricky. But others boot fine.
You tell you boot Havoc latest build with NitrogenOs installed ? Can you explain the way ?
I always wipe everything, flash eu, factory reset and reboot into recovery to continue the installation maybe that's why I never faced this problem in system partition.
Gsi is a solution not THE solution. But at least we've got correct battery life and fixes for bluetooth and brightness. The more annoying.
What twrp are you using ?
Most stable are full stocks, like PE, AOSDP. I use AICP, RR or AEX on my side with a way better SOT on RR. Nitrogen is a good one too.
Regards

question is. do you get much better battery life on these roms compare to EU?

At all times I have fc messages on almost everything (system, systemUI and downloaded apps). I always make the installations clean and I always faithfully follow every step to install and I always have these problems. As for Havoc, I installed over nitrogenOS without cleaning anything, and it worked, but it all started to fail continuously. But before that, the Havoc released in January was bootloop. The liquid remix started normally, but when I needed to reboot, it came into bootloop, as well as all roms of December and January. The only ROM that worked well and I was able to reboot the device was nitrogenOS, but when I tried to edit the build.prop in the vendor, when I rebooted the device, the screen did not turn on. And I'm using nijel's TWRP to install the roms. As I said before, there are so many different gadgets that it is impossible for a single rom to work well for everyone.

What you saying is strange, never facing these issues (system crash or ui or any downloaded app). I think you miss something (wipe data ?) or you don't use eu vendor as base. With bittgapps or opengapps no problem with eu and nigel for any of them. Except Liquid Remix which go easily into bootloop.
Havoc over Nitrogen is interressting, I'll see after my exams. Or if @Nikitel want to try ?
What did you changed in build.prop ?
Btw I'm agree with your last sentence, and we're not many to test them, hard to say what need or don't need to be done. As I'm not a dev, just go forward, blind.
Here's how I install almost every builds. Wipes (cache, dalvik, data, system, sometimes internal) install eu 10.2.1 or 9.1.24 depends, directly reboot into recovery, factory reset, flash mtp fix if needed, system.img and reboot. Sometimes install magisk too before reboot if I use pie gsi over oreo vendor.

Thanks Skyllery! If you (or other GSI users) could answer this it would be much appreciated, there are so many options that it's become confusing. I've flashed Nijel's TWRP and Xiaomi.eu 10.2.1 today so I'm ready to choose a GSI and have a play around. I don't really care about having a lot of added features and customizations, I just want everything to work. So my question:
Can any of the GSI's currently be made 'complete' and free of bugs with patches and workarounds? As in every feature working correctly including bluetooth audio streaming, brightness control, etc? Which is the best GSI to install from that point of view?
Many thanks

As you are on 10.2.1 eu try RR. Except AEX, other need to run a pie vendor. Everything working if you apply correctly patches.
If you want stock google experience, flash 9.1.24 eu and try Pixel Experience or Phh-Treble

Everything went fine until I tried to flash the RR system.img. I followed the steps exactly. I chose Install Image, had System Image selected for where to flash, and chose the image file. It starts to install then says:
Error opening: '/external_sd/system-190120-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img' (I/O error)
Any idea where I might be going wrong? I might try to download the RR image again

thanks for this guide sir.

I did, after re-downloading the image I was able to flash RR. Thanks!

im experiencing a bug that i think is not necessarily related to the gsi in question but i dont know anyway. ive installed descendant 2.0 following the rr method and it works impressingly well, but each time i reboot, it boots into nijels twrp and it asks for a password for data decryption. to solve it, ive found that if i reboot via fastboot, i doesnt happen, but this needs a computer so its not very helpful. any idea?
btw awesome work, pretty big from u to help us beginner users this much. thank you very much.

did u try it bro? or anyone ?

New look
The ROM was smooth but had some issues like Vote was not working and calls not working..... I installed it yesterday but I can't use is daily driver..

My TWRP 3.3.1-0 work fine with this, but sadly magisk doesn't work...
for now i don't have any bugs, only lock screen....it's hard to unlock, you have to swipe trough whole screen to unlock...is it even bug or normal thing on pixel phones?
edit, i tried calls and it works fine, for now i will use this rom daily and i'll keep watching for bugs

Try flashing the latest magisk 19.4 which apparently supports Android 10.
https://******************/magisk-beta

BUG: version PixelExperience_mido-10.0-20190920 (and all Android 10 beta builds before this):
If connect to LAN or WebCloud services (Google Drive, etc.) with X-plore file browser and run apk file from this cloud (copying to temp for running) then no installing app (apk) but runing as instalator in randomly apps in SmartPhone.

I have installed that version and it doesn't work either, the phone does not start
At the moment it is not possible to root

Magisk - I think it only supports a/b partitioning for Android 10, not A only on 19.4 build at the moment, so since we are an A only style device, Magisk Android 10 support isn't working yet

BUG: version PixelExperience_mido-10.0-20190920 (and all Android 10 beta builds before this):
If booting OS (after show bootlogo Pixel) quietly clicks (hardware sound) camera (as click if opening Camera app).
Maybe initialization?
In older versions (Pie) booting no camera clicks.

[ROM] dotOS v1.2 for SM-J210F [Android 7.1.2]

Hello everyone!
This is a dotOS port from the Galaxy J3 2016 (made by @lucas000br) to the J2 2016.
Working: 
My (basic) testings all seemed to work quite well
Added features and patched bugs:
Patched lock button in boot.img
Pre-rooted the ROM
Added FM-Radio from ViperOS (microG variant only)
Optimized features
Signature spoofing patched on microG variant
[See post #2 for further information]
Known problems:
Gapps variant is laggy (nothing I can do - Google sucks)
Your J2 shows up as a J3 (it's a port that's why)
Download links and installation instructions can be found in post #2
Credits:
Nanolx for Signature Spoofing
PixelBoot for base
lucas000br for modified base
Me for everything else
Obligatory Links:
Kernel Source: Github
Original Build (Abandoned by PixelBoot): XDA Developers (No source code)
Port of Port (by lucas000br): Thread seems to have disappeared?

Variant information (Which one is which?)
GAPPS: This one has most of the stock Google apps (Drive, YouTube, etc) + GSF present. Recommend for most users. RAM usage 640mb on idle
microG: All Google apps have been replaced with FOSS software. Google Services Framework has been replaced with microG. Signature spoofing is also present. RAM usage 560mb on idle
DIY: Want to build your own ROM? This one's for you! Everything except the bare minimum has been stripped out, so that you can decide what to pick for your ROM. (For power users only).
Stock dotOS: The stock dotOS compiled by PixelBoot for J3 2016; with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Signature spoofing and Power Button patched. Most stable out of all. You will need to flash additional GAPPS to get Google Services. RAM Usage 500mb.
Download Links:Stock dotOS (Recommended): MEGA
GAPPS: Oreo-Themed dotOS
microG: Oreo-Themed dotOS
DIY: Oreo-Themed dotOS
Installation Instructions:[If you don't have TWRP, get an image and install it from here]
GAPPS:
Boot to TWRP
[Do make sure to backup your data]
Wipe Dalvik, Data, System, Cache
Flash the ROM
Reboot. Done!
microG:
Boot to TWRP
[Do make sure to backup your data]
Wipe Dalvik, Data, System, Cache
Flash the ROM
After rebooting, open microG settings.
Go to self-check and tick the check boxes that are unticked (that will initialize microG)
Go back, and enable Device Registration, Cloud Messaging and Device Attestation
Then go to Location backends, and configure the DejaVu and Nominatim backends.
Done!
DIY and Stock dotOS will be the same as GAPPS variant

Changelog:
v1.2: Initial release06/05/2021: After lucas' comment, I realized that this wasn't the stock dotOS. So I have ported the stock dotOS created by PixelBoot. Try it out!

lucas000br said:
well done!
Also, PixelBoot did the DotOs base rom, i just modified it to be more like Android Oreo
(dont worry because i credited PixelBoot in the original j3 thread)

@Uniqueshiva thank you for the information. I had made a typo in the updater script that caused the boot image to fail.
Please download the new ROM and flash it. I've confirmed it to work

hmm it could be flashing gapps causes problem with the rom...
yes try the gapps version i provided
the diy one is mainly for rom porters. it has many features removed so that rom porters can think about what features to add in the rom
only basic feature available in rom is phone and messaging support

I can't access internal storage after flashing. Stock file manager crashes if i open it. Stock browser says "no sd card, usb storage is required to download the file". There's no internal storage even after connecting the phone to pc. It only shows memory card.
Edit: Just wiped the internal storage and re-flashed it. Works fine now
Thanks for porting this amazing rom

@NullCode, thanks for your work for device j210f...I like the ui of dot os..but i must say your previous build i.e viper os was more stable n amazing atleast for me....btw thanks a lot for keeping this device alive...

I know, viperOS was much more stable because I took 1 entire year to port and test the rom (i started testing January 2020 )
however, dotOS was ported in only 1 month
so it is not as polished
but im glad you liked it

Note: You might've noticed how I didn't put [PORT] in the thread title. It is mainly because this ROM varies from J3's dotOS so much, I don't think it is fair to call this one a port.

Hey.
I am using this ROM since 6th May (stock variant) and it is very great but has lots of bugs.
1. Bluetooth Audio stutters really bad (problem in every Android N rom for this phone)
2. Google Meet doesn't work (just shows the logo and then crashes) I am using Open GAPPS
3. Many system app crash randomly (sometimes even the launcher and system ui) requiring me to take out the battery and restarting the phone.
4. Camera quality is significantly bad compared to stock 6.0
But still a great project.
Thank you for keeping this phone updated.
