Hi
Do you know about any good custom rom for the vodafone smart 4 power? I couldn't find any but there are people saying that they installed android 5.1 on this phone. Also, if you know about any custom recovery that works fine let me know.
Thanks.

It's probably because you have a MTK device and the people you see that installed 5.1 probably ported it from another MTK device in order to flash it.
You could always ask the ones who installed 5.1 where they got it from.

I basically bought an X50 Pro Player edition from AliExpress at a decent price for the UK (£414 inc DHL Shipping)
And because i know that this Player Edition of the phone only seems to be available for the Chinese market at the moment and might not even get released in the EU or anywhere else globally.
I assume that the firmware on it will be the CN version and there possibly wont be any other versions available for this specific model RMX2072.
The main differences as far as i know on this model compared to the normal EU specced X50 pro's is that this edition has LPDDR5 and is using UFS 3.1 instead of 3.0, and that the front and back camera setups are downgraded on the player edition, everything else from what i can see is pretty much exactly the same as the normal x50 pro.
My question is that because i am UK based i would prefer to use the EU X50 Pro Rom, but would i be able to flash the EU rom onto this version of the phone?
yeah i would like to know this too since i am considering buying one
Hmmmmm take that as a no lol
you can try the same method as here described

If you cared to read the whole thread which is quite short for now, you'd see it yourself.
Regretfully, I am still waiting for my phone to arrive, so I can't check it myself yet.
I also compared that custom RMX2076EU_OTA11_A.20 with the stock version, and I had only found 2 differences:
1. The file \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script is a little different.
The author of the custom ROM just deleted the part in the beginning where it should check if your phone model is RMX2076EU. So, basically, you can try to install it on any phone you like, but the consequences would be quite unpredictable. So it's better to install it on RMX2071CN only, for which this customized ROM was intended.
2. The file \firmware-update\modem.img is the one from stock RMX2071_OTA11_A.18
I don't know why the author didn't use modem.img from RMX2071_OTA11_A.20. Maybe it wasn't released yet by the time that custom ROM was made.
This custom ROM seems to be a proof of concept that EU ROM can be ported to CN version, but the author of the above mentioned post claims that it doesn't work otherwise than upgrading from stock RMX2071_OTA11_A.18 to this customized RMX2076EU_OTA11_A.20, and that the kernel is different in RMX2076EU_OTA11_A.22, so you can't upgrade further this way. I'll be sure to check this myself when my phone finally arrives. I also presume that someone more knowledgeable may be able to customize this port further to make Play Market certification work as well. We only need to wait until someone with actual skill and knowledge starts working on it.

any available roms for this phone rather than the CN?
upppppppppppppp
I'm also with a player edition waiting for a solution to be found...
Still searching
Just Bought that Chinese version Realme X50 pro player edition 12gb ram , and waiting to be shipped by the seller since 10 days !!!! any hopes to use an other ordinary Rom version not the Chinese one !?
If someone has tried the RMX2071 method please let us now
Now that the G Pro has an official A12 release, does anyone know of any roms being actively developed and where to find info on them? I was kinda thinking of finally biting the bullet and trying my hand at building one myself, since I really like the G Stylus and will probably hold onto it for awhile.
From my experience, the overall best/most stable rom is almost always the official firmwares released by manufacturer.
You can flash the moto g pro android 12 firmware to the moto g stylus if you unlock the bootloader.
Nowadays custom roms are not as popular as in the past. The only reasons for going custom roms are that you hate the official rom or you must have a special feature that is only available on custom roms, or the manufacturer stops updating the device.
You lose many features with custom roms: worse camera quality, no moto gestures, and no FM radio.
I still welcome more developers building custom roms because we can have more options when the manufacturer stops supporting our device.

You will get a .bat file with all flash commands. Use flashdile.xml if you want data wipe or use service.xml if you want to keep your data when upgrading.
Then you copy the flash commands .bat file and the extracted firmware into the adb platform tools folder, and run the .bat file when you boot the phone into bootloader and connect to computer.
This couldn't possibly work on the Moto G Stylus 2020 which is 4G LTE only. This is for the 2021 or 2022 5G version.

Lol.
If you know nothing, don't give wrong information or draw wrong conclusion.
The flashing instructions/guide work for most if not all moto phones and users just need to download the corresponding/correct firmware for specific devices.
Seems straightforward.
Been looking for a solution to convert this device to the global variant successfully with the modem working or to get Verizon to release the update. It's been one year since Android 12 has been released and it doesn't seem like OOS 12 is coming anytime soon, so if anyone knows how to get the modem working on the global variant, I'd be glad.
The hardware and kernel source are fundamentally different on the Verizon model. Even if you somehow got global firmware installed with working data, you'd have a lot of other bugs and glitches because the hardware isn't compatible with the Global OS.

It works quite well. on the V model (that's what I have). but you need to back up your modem for data. It's best to reset to 11 factory. Then you can run ROMs that are OS 12.

I believe he means that you can run Android 12 ROMs, not custom ROMs, unless I misread?

I did not use a specific guide. I have been rooting the phone for some time and found that I could flash os global using a fastboot flash ROM. If you root your phone and save the stock os the 11 modems you can replace it in the global rom.
I will correct myself and say that I don't remember for sure if global will work (for modem replacement) but you can get custom ROMs to work well with that method.
I would have to go back and sort through for the links or try again to be sure. But if you know what you're doing, it is pretty hard to brick the phone. So play around with other guides. (with your own risk and discretion involved).
You can even run android 13 on the V model( not good IMO. buggy).

I don't think the stock Verizon modem works on the global ROM? Or did it work for you?

Stock modem does not work. That is for sure. I've moved to the pixel 7 Pro so I won't be messing with the one plus anymore.
Hello everyone, my friend has this phone (Honor magic V and I would love to know if is it possible to port a rom from another phone with the same soc to this one, I once have ported rom from Mediatek to another Mediatek device but I have never tried porting on Snapdragon based device, can someone please enlighten me?
The main reason for this is to get Google services working on this device as I have searched everywhere for the way to install Google apps to no avail
Anyone?
To the best of my knowledge, it's not possible to install Google Play Services on that phone.

I have honor magic vs (chinese version sadly) its still on android 12 magic os 7 and cant install play store but for sure global rom(magic os 7.1 ) has gms integration possible. Now the problem is if chinese devices will get an update based on removal of global restrictions or not. chinese people don't use google for obvious reasons.
ping me if you have any update. I am also trying my seller to get international rom for mine.

I will, but I am losing hope as no one is willing to guide me on how it's done (the porting stuff) on snapdragon based soc, I have been doing it on mediatek but I am totally new to this snapdragon world
