Sorry for bothering with that topic again, but I'm more than confused on the information i found here and on the Internet.
So, I have a older P10 plus and it had needed to be replaced by a new phone because of some strange behavior that are reported by other users as well (Phone reboots for sudden when using camera and after reboot battery capacity dramatically decreased).
Because of that, and because i think this is a glitch in the Huawei EMUI i want to try LinageOS or any other Custom ROM on the phone.
First i recognize that i need to unlock the Bootloader, okay lets assume their is a solution for the bootloader problem, but now the confusion starts.
Firstly i didn't find any detailed installation guide for the installation of LinageOS, second some sides mentioned its possible (without any facts) some mentioned it's totally impossible to install any Custom ROM on that phone.
So, can anybody provide some updates on that topic and secondly, can come of you support me to install a Custom ROM on that phone ??
Help highly appriciated
Many thanks !!!

For me, custom roms on Android Pie are much more stable than custom roms on Android 10, Better try those roms. Also you can try flashing those roms that you are interested and make some time to explore its features if it suits to your likes :good:

I think you were using THE OFFICIAL ANDROID 10 BETA. Try rolling back to pie. Go to the official website and search for "downgrade to 9" on the firmware list and follow the instructions.
And, you unlocked the bootloader using which method, the official method or unofficial method ?
I mean, did you download the unlocker from the official website or some where else ?

Hello there friends
This is my first proper Indian phone, been using it since past 2 year, pure stock just the gcam.
I wish to root it now and use a custom rom.
Can you great guys point me to the latest unlocking and rooting procedure as i am on latest firmware now and not sure if older methods will work or not.
Secondly could you please point me yo a stable, custom rom that is very smooth to operate, battery efficient, without any bugs and can handle all banking apps and stuff.
I am okay if its Android 9 or 10 just a thoroughly stable rom.
Thank you in advance
Hello,
Just did it two days ago, follow this thread (and the linked thread when necessary, like the TWRP one) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
Three things to remember for the script to work :
1/ You need to enable USB debugging in developrs options
2/ You need to install the Windows drivers for your phone, that is, when connected through USB, you shouldn't see a yellow exclamation mark in your Windows Device Manager
3/ It doesn't work with Rizen CPU on USB 3.0 port
Once you know that it's pretty straightforward. Oh, one thing that happened to me right after unlocking bootloader is that it asked for password to access Data partition, I had to restart to recovery and wipe Data partition once more.
Don't forget to backup everything before starting, and have fun, this device has a lot of nice ROMs to try
Thanks mate
Can you confirm if b Kong apps re working fine upon unlock and root with the custom roms
That's my biggest concern now
I am ok with unlocking and rooting but bank apps not working owing to rooted device is my next biggest concern.

Followed this method on pie few months back and it works. Follow the instructions and you are good.
I've been using Pixel Experience Plus ROM as my daily driver for the past 3 months and I never look back to any other ROMs!
I'm using Havoc 2.9 Pie, Bootlegger rom is also a nice option, both of these roms provide multiple customizations.
Thanks a lot guys for the replies
Sorry got stuck with some stuff hence could thank you folks and couldnt even visits
If there are anymore newer roms then please do let me know
Thanks again
Just wanted to update
That more tha. 2 years after buying the m1 i have unlocked and installed a custom rom.
I can see encryption thing has come into play now and to root magisk is the drug of choice ?
So i have unlocked the bootloader flashed the twrp wiped all and now using PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS ROM but without root as i dont need root atm.
The rom is awesome prior to this i had flashed havoc but this is far better way too smooth utterly battery efficient and no issues whatsoever.
Need a couple of things sorted though
1 how to te remove that persistent search bar at the bottom without changing the launcher
2. How to remove the date and weather widget upto on home screen
Thanks

I don't think you can remove those atm, maybe u can request to the original PE plus developer
Anyway, I'm getting used to those widgets and they both are useful for me :laugh:
Hello! I've modded already some devices, but I never got in my hands a device that lived so long.
Since I cannot find any infos about using latest Magisk on a such old device and I don't want to mess it up, I wanted to ask here some questions.
First: generally, is ok to use a recent version of Magisk on every device, or there are some devices with some kind of differences that needs a "custom" or "specific" version of Magisk?
Second: is ok to use directly the Releases on https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases ? I saw that this is the only official way to get it and that magiskmanager is not a related site.
Third: any advices on modding the P8 Lite 2015?
Model runs MIUI 4.0.3 and it's on Android 6. It's the single-sim version.
I already have TWRP working and phone is factory-reset. Yes, I had access to my unlock code, so it was pretty painless to unlock it.
It needs to be fully functional, so I cannot use custom ROMs (it seems like all have problems with YouTube and/or Camera). If there are some advices here, I'm free to listen.
I was planning on installing Magisk (root, generally) to uninstall Huawei crap plus a better control over kernel, if there is any on this device.
Hello everyone,
I have my redmi note 7 with which I've kept using MIUI since I bought it. But now the android system weights for 9 go. I think it is insane for a phone, correct me if I'm wrong.
The phone is slow and when I try to erase everything et reinstall it. The system is faster but the system is still heavy.
Do you think rooting it can help solve the issue ? Or may those 9 go of system be caused by some viruses ?
Thanksnin advance,

Unlock the bootloader and flash a customer without root. You have a big choice, the most one are very fast and stable
Thank you for your answer.
0) what is the weight of a normal custom system once installed ?
1) Do you mean to flash a rom and still using the original kernel ?
The last time I flashed a system, it was on a Galaxy S2.... Did the things changed ? At that time we had an important risk to brick the phone under gingerbread version of Android (that version had some kind of bug) .
2) Are the risks still high today ?
I looked a bit through the list or roms on xda and the lineageOS seems to come out as the lightest rom.
3) Is there a room that is more stable than the others ?
4) Is there a rom that is kept updated more than the others ?
5) What about the android security updates once a custom rom is installed ?
Sorry that is a lot of questions but I need an update since my galaxy S2
Thanks in advance,

First, when you unlock your bootloader your phone make a factory reset. Then you have the choice which ROM. lingeos, havoc, pixel os are stable and have the last security patch. Then you have the choice with or without gapps (Google apps). In every thread is a how to and the recommend gapps. Orange fox is a very good recovery. And brick risk is small. Sometimes I had a softbrick with testing around kernel and modules, but it easy to fix. Make a backup with the customer recovery before. The weight I don't know in the moment. My daughter change the pattern . In the forum is a old how to unlock and under development is the recovery. You will find it. Have fun

Thank you very much for your answer.
I'll post the comparison of the weight of the system once I'll have installed it.
I have a Huawei DRA-AL00 (either called the Y5 2018 or Enjoy 8e Youth depending on which source you believe) currently running Android 8.1 (device details from Droid Info attached).
I am seeking an English language ROM with gApps (or the option to add it). I have already searched the forums and found this thread, however, the ROMs listed seem to just be copies of the stock ROM (or, at least, I can't find any details about them except that they're Android 8.1) I'm worried they'll have the same issues as the factory reset OS that I've already tried. I also searched google generally and found a lot of ROMs for other Huawei phones but none that looked promising for this one... Neither LineageOS nor ArrowOS seem to have an option for this phone. I also don't see a TWRP version that's been specifically tested for this phone, but I'm thinking of trying the one that's recommended for the Y5 2017 or the Enjoy 8 Plus. Of course, that's only relevant if I can find a custom ROM worth using. I'm willing to risk bricking this phone by using a TWRP and ROM that are intended for a different but similar phone, but I'd rather do so with input from someone who's more knowledgeable about phone OSs than me . I'll post the results of any ROMs I try here so others with this phone can have clearer info on what works with it.
Thanks for your help!!
***
Additional info below, not necessary to answer the original question .
For context, I'm a complete newb to flashing custom ROMs on phones. That said, I follow directions just fine and have spent most of today watching and reading tutorials for other Huawei phones (can't find one for this phone specifically...). I've also already tried several different fixes to get this phone functional without replacing the OS, but each new fix keeps raising a new issue or only partially resolving the original one. Hence reverting to the solution that's always served me well on laptops and desktops, replacing the OS.
I have already:
- Factory reset the phone.
- Set the system language to English (this succeeded in getting most of the day-to-day interface to show up in English, but about half of the pop-up messages and the contents of the in-built app store/browser/etc are all still in Chinese...).
- Replaced the keyboard app as it was also still an odd mix of English and Chinese which made typing pretty difficult...
- Tried four different methods to install gPlay on a Huawei phone all of which appeared to be working during install but result in a gPlay app that won't open.
- Tried installing the apps that I need without going through the Play store, however, anything affiliated with google (eg gmail, gmaps) refuses to work. I updated Google Play Services and Google Services Framework APKs to the most recent versions I could find that are Android 8.1 compatible but that didn't fix the issue.
- Disabled as much of the bloatware as I can.
If I can't find a decent ROM for this phone, I'll keep trying to work around its issues using third party apps. However, I'm starting to lose hope in reaching a truly functional solution with the current OS. It'd be sad to give up on this project since it's a quite nice little phone for the very basic functions I need - decent speed and truly epic battery life (nearly a week if I'm not using it much!). At the end of the day though, it only cost me $88 in the first place, so I'd rather risk bricking it by flashing an incompatible ROM than leave it to gather dust in the back of a drawer somewhere .
Hey I have a Huawei DRA-AL00 with English ROM . It comes with Gapps and stuffs but my problem is getting Twrp for it. Can I ask how you got yours?
