Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
In the beginning, thanks to @Ahmed_Khalifa for inspiring this by leading me to a similar FAQ to get inspiration from!
a. Hardware
I cannot hear the caller's voice on SIM 2, nor he/she can hear me.
This is a known bug and the developer is working hard on it.
The problem is that he does not use Dual SIM, although he has a SM-G7102, and relies on testers, which slows down fixing.
The phone takes 10-15 seconds to boot up, and the boot animation is really slow. Is that a warning from God that I watched too much porn? (Screen lock bug users only)
Not in this case. The ROM build for screen lock bug users has that problem. It's a known bug.
But it might be a warning from God, too. Porn is bad.
The screen turns off, but would not turn on again.
Flash the latest version, the one marked "for screen lock bug users". Note that video recording is broken on that.
I cannot make or receive calls, SMS messages, or use mobile data on both SIM cards.
You aren't using the latest version of this ROM.
The <camera/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Auto rotation/whatever> doesn't work.
You aren't using the latest version of this ROM.
<Insert something here> is broken.
Make sure you have the latest release (from the link above) and that the broken feature is not on the Known Bugs list.
What variants of the Grand 2 does this ROM work on?
As of the build dated Feb. 11th, 2015, this ROM only works on SM-G7102 (the 3G Dual SIM international variant).
Users of other variants, such as the 4G LTE SM-G7105, the Brazilian SM-G7102T, and other variants would have to avoid flashing this.
Video recording does not work.
If you have faced the screen lock issue and flashed the build for screen lock issue users, video recording would not work.
Update: VivaVideo works.
FM Radio doesn't work and shows this:
FM operation failed. If the problem persists, please turn off FM and turn it back on
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This issue occurs when using the bundled CodeAurora Forum FM Radio app.
To fix it, download the open-source SpiritF app, open it (obviously), and turn FM Radio on with the headset plugged in. You won't hear anything. Press "Menu" and choose "Analog". You will hear radio come on. Choose " Menu" then "Digital" again to get louder volume.
b. Programs and software
How do I enable root access?
Two methods:
Method 1:
Flash the SuperSU ZIP fire (UPDATE-SuperSU-*.zip)
Method 2:
- From About Device in Settings, tap the Build Number seven times to enable Developer Options.
- Go back and choose Developer Options, then choose Root Access. This option allows you to enable root access for ADB, apps, or both.
Can I import or export contacts to the SIM card?
No. AOSP-based ROMs, including CyanogenMod, do not have the ability to access the SIM card contacts due to legal restrictions.
Why are many CyanogenMod 11 options, previously found in Settings, gone?
The CM team is still integrating CyanogenMod sources into AOSP Lollipop. You can check CyanogenMod's website for details.
In the meanwhile, many Xposed modules can replicate that functionality for you, most notably GravityBox [LP].
Can I upgrade from CyanogenMod 11 and keep my apps and data?
Yes, but you will have to set a new pattern if you had a pattern lock 4x4 or over (as you'll face a glitch where any pattern unlocks the screen) and you will lose custom notification panel tiles, system apps and mods under /system, and Xposed (you will have to download the latest version by hand).
Can I upgrade from stock/GenNxt/Turbo/MicroKat/<insert stock-based ROM here> and keep my apps and data?
Unfortunately, no. You will have to wipe your /data partition prior to installing CyanogenMod.
Does DedS Kernel/Motion Kernel/<insert some kernel here> work on CyanogenMod 12?
No. TouchWiz kernels do not boot AOSP/CM ROMs.
Where is the Google Play Store? Why is it in a different download?
To get it back, flash a Google Apps (commonly Gapps) package, available as a separate download.
Google Play Store, and other Google apps, are not included in AOSP-based custom ROMs, like CM, because of a legal requirement imposed by the CyanogenMod v. Google lawsuit, where Steve Kondik, founder of Cyanogen Inc. (formerly CyanogenMod), was accused by Google of stealing intellectual property (Gapps + proprietary drivers), so he offered to remove them from his ROM. As a result, all AOSP-based ROM makers were required to perform the same action.
<Some app> does not work on this ROM, while it worked on <CyanogenMod 11/stock/some ROM>!
It may not be compatible with Lollipop/Android Runtime (ART). Check with the app's developer for an updated version.
Freedom does not work on this ROM! Do I have to actually pay for in-app purchases?
In fact, it doesn't work on all Lollipop ROMs. But don't worry, you ain't paying to get $9999 in Jetpack Joyride. You can use Lucky Patcher.
Why isn't this ROM updated via CyanogenMod Updates?
This ROM is an UNOFFICIAL build.
However, the developer offers an alternative that he maintains if you donate.
Can I use proprietary Samsung apps and features like S Note, Smart Screen features, GALAXY Apps, and Air Command?
No, due to the unavailability of Samsung framework resources in CyanogenMod. Why not switch to some stock ROM instead?
Does GravityBox [LP] work on this ROM?
Its developer says no, but I confirm it does. In fact, some options even work on TouchWiz!
OTA Terms and Conditions:
For Donors of this ROM:
1. Donation is an appreciation and a kind gesture toward the developer's hard work and his valuable time.
2. Being a donor means you can not expect or demand any fix for bugs or any mishappening with your device
3. Please do not donate if you think you are PAYING FOR PREMIUM SERVICE and expecting a lot like OEM customer care, the developer is not here for your service as he is making this rom just his love to android development.

As stated before for some reason the screen pinning does not work with normal keys so a solution for now is to enable soft keys by adding
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
To the build prop in
/system/
And saving it and restart your device

it is because you use location tag. so after clearing camera data and cache, relaunch camera and make sure you don't activate location tag. the first launch of camera will promt you whether you want to activate location tag or not. if you activate it, you will face the camera bug, but else if you don't activate it the camera work perfectly for taking photos. there is no need to install google camera or motorola camera. hope it will be help for you and others.

Possible bloatware/malware

Hey guys, I have very limited time and internet access this week, but I wanted to give a heads up in case any of you receive a phone with 'extra' software on board.
I've just received my 32GB Prime and there have been issues right away. Although it has a 'stable' international ROM on board, it repeatedly hung in the first thirty minutes and I was repeatedly prompted to use apps like DU Speed Booster and another memory cleaner app to 'fix' the problem. These don't look like part of MIUI to me, but they can't be uninstalled, so somebody has clearly cooked them into the ROM. This reeks of phishing malware to me so I'm going to download the latest official stable ROM and flash that as soon as I have time.
If I'm wrong, please let me know and I'll update or delete this. If not, please check your phone carefully before entering any of your data or account info.

Same issue here. However, I have been trying to download the stock ROM from the miui website for a full day. Cant seem to get it to dowanload past 50MB. If you figure this out please let me know.

Lol, same problem here. I've given up for now. I Googled earlier on and it would appear that MIUI servers are absolutely rammed because so many people are trying to download.

That is a relief. I thought it was just me all day. I ordered mine and it was already setup when I opened the box. I did a factory reset, but it didnt get rid of those apps or issues. I am also assuming that Xiaomi doesnt include that bloatware on purpose.
Also, now everytime I browse to a new link in Chrome it rerouts me to some spam ad page. I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Did yours come with MIUI 7? Mine came with MIUI 6 installed.

Download and flash developer MIUI 7 version. Use a download manager like IDM. The ROM that the sellers put on the RN2 is not optimized and causes issues for everyone who got it that way (sources: XDA and another non-English forum).

Mine had MIUI 6. Now I've put the latest stable MIUI 6 on which lacks Play store/Google services and only has English and Chinese language options.

Had the same problem, you can get miui 7 developer rom from zan5hin link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/server-issues-preventing-updating-to-t3188967
Most bloatware isn't in it, then flash gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip (can't remember where I got it)
not had a Chinese popup for a while and everything seems stable, this should do me till an international rom appears

MIUI 7 developer version 5.9.2
Recommend this developer version
I have the heating and lagging issue after root, sometimes even the phone call need to wait about 1 or 2 secs to see the caller ID.
The MIUI website unable to download, too many people try to download maybe, so I google and find a Chinese guy share what his experience with this version and provided a link to download ROM on Mobile - 1
I flash it with xiaomi updater, and I can see the difference right away.
The CPU won't be so hot (before even high to 72), and all apps respond much faster than before and more smooth.
Suggest everyone who has Redmi Note 2 should try it.
I am not able to provide link cause I don't have 10 post.

I have actually noticed my phone is a bit slower than when I first got it, was it the root that I managed to achieve a few days ago causing this?
Are you talking about this ROM? http://en.miui.com/thread-157254-1-1.html
I think the other guy who also can't speak english or post links is talking about this ROM, v5.9.9: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811823

chinese rom
NO I used the one from a Taiwan or Hong Kong website
call Mobile-1
the zip file is about 651MB
I start using the new rom for 2 days
what I noticed is that the apps are more smooth and fast respond
the cpu wont get too hot
and Yes, I have those issue after root, and don't worry about your root
after flash, still have root access if you dirty flash
BTW, the new rom can get root permission in security
hope you can find it

Hi guys, I've just received my Xioami Redmi note 2 prime and have the same problem! Avast antivirus finds malware installed. The problem app is called Fun Weather funweater.apk. Avast says it is Androidropper-BT(PUP)and Android.Troj.ya_funsms.gf. Factory reset doesn't solve the problem. Uninstall also. It is integrated into the firmware. I have read in one article that if it is into the firmware I am screwed up and this cannot be cleaned. Should I try to return the phone back and get my money back? Is it sure that installing new rom will clean up my phone from the malware? One is for sure I am totally done with Chinese stuff. Xiaomi, Aliexpress and everything Chinese will be totally avoided from now. I am so frustrated! I don't know what to do. If I return it I have to pay shipping costs. I feel totally screwed up.

Why not install CM12.1 on it and call it a day?

Slow download on bigota.d.miui.com just add o in front to obigota.d.miui.com although i suggest you use http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-22.28856/ instead.

Putting a new rom is a little bit difficult for me, but even if I do it, is there slightly probability the malware to stay in the new rom too? If so, may be it is better to return it. The article I've read about malware says "contact your vendor for replacement or refund" Does it mean that if the seller infected the phone, it is unrepairable? If a new rom guarantee a clean phone, maybe I should try because the phone itself is not bad. But I will never feel comfortable using it having doubts about security.

Wiping it should remove any conventional malware - you will be wiping it in order to install a clean ROM anyway. Installing a clean ROM is not difficult at all, though I can understand it might look like it the first time you attempt to do it. You could use this tool to flash TWRP, then you just boot into it, wipe data/cache and flash the ROM .zip from the SD card.

There is a CM12.1 for RN2? AOSP != CM

Bloatware and malware are installed as system app.
You can remove it only installing another rom.
~ Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime ~

i got my redmi from ibuygou so there were no chinese shady apps, but i still wiped all data and installed xiaomi.eu rom, i think everyone shoud do at first, we never know what's inside the "stock" roms from chinese resellers.

ROM by Cuoco92: multilanguage, debloated, prerooted, GApps preinstalled

This thread is now obsolete, please refer to the thread by Cuoco92 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-leeco-le2x820max5-9-023s-cuoco92-t3608187
----
Hi All,
There is a multilanguage, debloated ROM available for our phone that is a much better starting point than flashing the Chinese ROM and debloating it manually. It is based on 5.6.014S release. It comes with Google Apps, SuperSU, Adblock, System app remover and a few other features preinstalled. It also offers OTA updates (one just arrived today). I have been testing it for a past few days and can wholeheartedly recommend it!
Just flash the ZIP through TWRP:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=57909
Note that installing Xposed framework from official thread will prevent GUI to start.
Here's a compatible version (79) that someone made. Didn't test much so YMMV, but GravityBox seems to work fine:

It is based on 5.6.014S release (I updated the original post). But it seems to me that it is more of a series rather than a one shot release. The guy has been maintaining it for multiple LeEco devices and providing updates for some time. Can't find much about it in English though.

To learn how to install TWRP check @STEVE_MARS'es guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/twrp-root-14s-rom-x820-t3382221
Just note that you don't have to bother putting SuperSU/GApps on the phone and flashing it as they are integrated in the the ROM.
Important: flash the most recent TWRP, e.g. download it from @STEVE_MARS'es blog: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/twrp-3-0-2-source-based-off-t3388695
(it is by default in Chinese, but possible to change language to English)

Sooooooo. If I am on the latest official 14s Version and blocked everything with titanium Backup... And everything is fine with my rom... Why would I change to this? Is there Basic Apps included like calls, SMS, contacts,?

Like I said, it's a better starting point for those who are flashing new ROM. Otherwise it looks and works the same as official 14s. I really like the approach though. The modifications are very light and unobtrusive. You will just see some added menus in the settings, like Dolby Atmos support (not that I care for it). But it clearly gets some love from the author. You get OTA updates with a clear changelog and new features. Yesterday's update added multi-user support and fingerprint-based app unlocking and a spell checker. Probably it's mostly a matter of unlocking MM features that were disabled by LeEco. But it's great someone is tinkering with it!

On official i could install xposed and grafitybox, but on cuoco it comes an error after booting. System Interface error.

Has this ROM german language integrated? The settings complete in german?

yes 99%

Tix very nice make you more Updates
pls Include the Exposed Framework

This Rom is awesome, everything works fine, I have already received 3 OTA Updates, German since last update (today) 100%.
I'm happy with this Rom on this great Phone !!!!!!!!

Is it possible to remove GAPPS? I want to install the Pico Opengapps package.
Sadly, whenever I freeze the Google app (used for google now), the phone doesn't boot anymore.

I just installed this rom, work great, thanks. May I ask where you get the OTA update? Is there a place you can manually check in the setting? Or the OTA just pop on notification?

I flashed this ROM and it worked good. And the playstore force closure stopped. But there is a lot of languages but no Swedish language. Is that fixable? Is it possible to flash just the language?

It's the app that called "Updates" I think. But I got my Olas popped up in notification bar..

The "Update" app disappear after I got the third OTA, Is that the same problem to you? Maybe the "update" app only appear when there is a OTA?
Could someone explain? Thanks

On my phone it's where it was after V28 update. Pretty sure it's supposed to remain visible as it has a GUI in which you check and download updates manually.

{GIUDE} HYDROGEN OS 3.0 [Oneplus 3/3T] Installation/ Quick guide

An update to the H2OS out after a long time. The alternative ROM for the OnePlus devices is now updated to the version 3.0. The Hydrogen OS is mostly designed for the Chinese variants of the Oneplus devices. However, the H2OS 3.0 can also be installed on a regular or international variant of the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T. The ROM brings many new features.
As the Hydrogen OS is a firmware for the Chinese variant, it doesn’t come with the Google Apps pre-installed. You will need to install it separately. Fortunately, we already have a Google play store installed APK which can easily install the Google Play Services onto your Android device.

Will all the US bands be enabled with Hydrogen OS?
Hi, can anyone using a US OnePlus 3T confirm whether the US version of OnePlus 3T with Hydrogen OS will have the exact same bands enabled as the US version using Oxygen OS? I want to be as Google-free as possible and starting with a manufacturer-supported Google-free ROM like H2OS sounds like a good way to go.
I'm open to other ways to accomplish this but simpler is better for me. Finally moving away from Windows Phone, and yes I know, why would you want Android if you don't want Google? Answer, pathetically trying to cling to ownership of my personal data and can't afford the next best OEM privacy option, the iPhone (which isn't a great privacy option either). Thx!

I've been down this path too many times. It's doable but not easy. First, scrap H2OS since Playstore is preinstalled. I'd go with either a lineage based Rom or Freedom OS (OOS with the option to leave all google and OP Apps out on Installation). Just don't flash Gapps after the Rom.
But thats really the easy part. The hard part is the setup. First, you'd need to sideload at least a browser. Get the browser apk of your choice from a reputable source (xda labs is great. It even manages Updates for you). Depending on the apps you need, you'll need some playstore alternative. Some things can be had through xda-labs. If Open Source is your thing, f-droid is great too. Just don't download apk's from somewhere on the web. Your privacy might be more at risk than with google on it.
Also, get a vcard backup of your contacts (or run your own carddav server). Finally, some apps simply won't run without google framework (that's why it's back on my phone). For example "Bring", a shopping list, won't run without google framework. Don't ask me why. But i need that app. Just be prepared for some major inconveniences, and having to find workarounds... :good:

Thanks for the great input domsch1988. You've given me exactly the tips I need to get started. One question though. You mentioned Playstore is preinstalled on H2OS. I was under the impression the main difference between H2OS and OOS was H2OS's removal of all Google specific stuff to meet China's Google restrictions. I assumed that included Playstore. Are you sure it's in there? I only ask because I'd rather start with a OnePlus supported ROM if I can but if that's not the case I'll take the leap and go with one of the ROMs you suggest. Can you recommend a lineage-based ROM I can start with? And, do you have an opinion on microG as a Play framework replacement? It seems like a good idea in theory but the way it's implemented gives me some security concerns.

OP stated that PlayStore APK is preinstalled. I have not tried h2os, so can't say for sure. You could give it a try. And with root you can always uninstall system apps.
I never tried microg myself. For me it was always no g at all or the pico Gapps package.
As a lineage based ROM, on my note 4 resurrection remix was great. On the 3t I'm on stock oos, so not sure.

Play store or anything Google is not installed on H2OS
i am using it currently tried to go without play store and other apps for one day but couldn't deal with all the Chinese apps so, installed OOS although everything could have been installed on H2OS also.

Ok

Open Gapps Config For Moto G4

Hi guys.
I'm using LineageOS' latest build as of today 06/05/17 with Open Gapps.
I'm trying to find a configuration of installed apps that matches as best as possible that of the stock G4 (Nougat). I've no idea about the background services or which stock apps to remove (I'm using the aroma installer version of Gapps as none of the others fit what I want closely enough). Does anybody have any app choice recommendations for me?
Thanks.
