Hello guys, I'm going to share some CM builds I've found online and I'd like you to try them and discuss them. Thanks to collapseromer.
Builds are usually compatible both to US and Chinese devices: please say which version you're using when you post/report bugs since we'd like to confirm that.

Most recent I've found (old versions hidden):

http://forum.xda-developers.com/leeco-le1-pro/development/cm12-1-rom-betahydri-letv-1-pro-t3416651
Thanks to our fellow @BetaHydri we have the best of both worlds: working location service (even for mobile and wifi, Smart Lock via location should work now!) and working videos. Nice job!
Collapseromer's 20160628 build:
http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012717
https://mega.nz/#!H91Q0RCB Passcode: !R1XXlc3yt8gUORagS7B-4PVf9ZCFP7uueVTIY8AMY08
OK, things are getting serious: we've got Play Store and Google services working fine (location via mobile data and wifi not working), all kind of streaming videos play fine, framerate for GPU intensive games is unbelievable compared to LeTV's 12S stock ROM based Custom ROMs; no major bugs to note except Parrot's Free Flight 3 app not working.
Dolby Atmos/AudioFX can be fixed using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67579077&postcount=109

Collapseromer's 20160528 build:

Google Play Store started FCing after like an hour since I installed. I've tried a few things to get it back (uninstall via Root Explorer and reinstall, clear cache and data, flash GApps again) but so far no luck; funny enough, it's auto-updating installed apps and installing apps when I do that via browser just fine. :/
EDIT: Now it works... I guess it's because of the modified build.prop I applied, which I'm attaching here..
Actually I kept getting Play Store working on and off and I couldn't understand what triggers that so I reverted to the ROM below.

Collapseromer's 20160512 build:

- This ROM gets everything working except Periscope and Facebook videos.

As an attachment you can find a flashable zip to restore volume switch function on any CM build! Thanks http://bbs.le.com/thread-1675368-1.html

Please note I always disable all the Chinese apps (for example using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=i) and install Stock/Aroma Open Gapps (http://opengapps.org/).
This is a guide to trim the ROM zip from variuos apk's, use wisely: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-2939-1-1.html
And this is an additional trim guide which was true for collapse-cm-12.1-20160512-UNOFFICIAL ROM, not confirmed on newer versions
Code:
[B]system\app folder[/B]
360mse-->chinese app
660007-->chinese app?
baiduinput-->Chinese keyboard, watch out as there are no other keyboards!
clear-->Perfectly Clear? (photo)
CollapseSettings-->??

Flash-->Adobe Flash?
sogousearch-->chinese sogou
wandoujia-->chinese baidu
[B]system\priv-app[/B]
audiofx-->not working
trebuchet-->only if you flash Gapps and use Google Launcher

Missing SIM possible solution (thanks 0rk0 from http://www.letv.re/topic/1020-letv-x800-lost-imei/?do=findComment&comment=9608)
Code:
     1. With the card inserted and unacknowledged make a call by typing: * # * # 4636 # * # * 
       2. Appear a menu with several options: informaticion phone, battery  information, usage statistics and wifi information. That we are  interested in "phone information" we click on it.

    3. We get a lot of things and options. We seek "Set preferred network  type" and we click on the tab that appears below us which allows us to  select different types of networks.
    When you first enter this menu appeared selected the option "TD-SCDMA,  LTE, CDMA, EVDO GSM / WCDMA," possibly this was the problem, it was the  wrong choice. So it was.

    4. Change the option to "LTE / GSM / CDMA auto (PRL)" and restart your  phone (you simply have to select it and get out the normal phone menu
This is the official device support request CM thread, chime in! https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/120767-letv-x500-x600-x800/
And head over here to review the ROM, I think that may stimulate collapseromer to build more, maybe even CM13! http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012717

What's your mileage guys? Could you get some CM13 somewhere, maybe? Please share your files and experience, LeTV ROMs are just clueless and I really think CM is the only way out: how could you develop such a useless lockscreen and notification shade, LeTV?

Hmm... Great stuff. I also not very impressed by EUI... What about Sim card slots, mobile Internet and camera? Do all these things work on CM too? How about battery life? Is it improved or same or less?

I'm using slot 2 only and data/calls/messages work fine; both cameras work, with 4k videos too; battery is more or less the same, I can go morning to evening just like Cuoco's. I really insist you should try, unless letv starts developing good things (but it seems like Android 6 ROM doesn't change much) I'll never look back; moreover, someone may port cm13 sooner or later. ;)

Not at all, dude, I just want to spark some conversation and maybe development for this DOA device...
Camera is fine, you even get 4k video recording from main camera and 1080p from the front facing one. Even official EUI ROMs are not that good, with camera: videos always fail to autofocus and you have to keep pressing on screen to refocus, while pictures live preview is slow and generally not so good with low lighting.

Please H3G, deliver the HTC 10 and I'll get that in a heartbeat so I can stop going slightly mad with this device! :)

And this is a hardware-similar device which got CM, maybe it helps someone. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=sambar
Hi,
do I understand correctly that this "collapse-cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-X800" version works on our LeTV 1 Pro X800 US/CE model?

Correct, any CM you'll find in this thread works both for CN and US versions, I'm using an US device myself. ;)
Ok thanks !
Then I will try it today, as I have some problems with my actual CUOCO 11S V4.3 which could not be OTA updated anymore for whatever reason.
Did't you installed OPENGAPPS arm64 version right after the ROM flash ?

Right, opengapps build, 64 bit, Android 5.1, flashed right after ROM (put two zips in queue, in case you're wondering). Let me know which build you're going to flash and how you like it. ;)

Get on this site and add comments guys, this way we may get collapseromer's builds more often and maybe even its CM13... :)
http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012091
I installed it ! But on boot I choosed german as language maybe not a good idea. Will try again with english at first boot-up.
I noticed following:
- I installed OpenGAPPS Stock Version for 5.1 / arm64
- Google Play Store is crashing
- AudioFX is crashing
- four to six useless chinese apps included into the ROM
- One settings extension is completely in chinese

Anyway if I'm able to remove the for me useless stuff and fix the crashing of the play sotre, then I will keep this ROM.

Which ROM build did you flash? I reverted to https://app.box.com/s/ua2ekx0g54iltp2nj9b8uo2fykciylwg for now, just because of Play Store issues (even though it actually worked since I could install apps via browser and apps were auto-updating I could open it only sporadically, most of the time it force closed).
- AudioFX crashes here too, I actually never tried that since all my audio needs are speaker and bluetooth;
- You can easily freeze/uninstall those Chinese apps: enable CM root access in standard developer settings, install Titanium Backup or similar from Play Store (or via apk from apkmirror.com) and get rid of them;
- That settings item in Chinese language is actually just a container for all those Chinese apps you want to kill, so don't bother. It will force close if you click on it, once you freeze/delete those apps.
- I always choose Italian as system language and everything is in Italian: except for those Chinese apps, of course, but they never survive for a long time. ;)

I flashed this one that you posted at the beginning:
https://mega.nz/#!QgoihJCQ!RpD2O1knJ5L6uAOGI7I6elv6spUNrPXD7whpqb6y2kE

Should I try the one that you posted in the BOX account ? Isn't it the same ?

Nope, slightly older: try that. ;)
Is this one is from 07.06.2016 the same that you put on mega ?
http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012091 --> The problem how to download it from there without the chinese downloader ?
[Android 5.1] [6.5.12] [music 1Pro-CM-12.1- rapid and smooth]
OF: collapseromer Android version: 5.1.x
UI Type: CyanogenMod a ROM Size: 425.00MB
Applicable models: music as the X800 + (Le 1 pro) Published: 2016-06-07

You're right, the uploader went out of bandwidth: I'm uploading to Mega myself, it should be ready in less than an hour. Of course I'll change the links too.
I noticed that I had already downloaded it during last week.
But see my last reply:
So this one is from 07.06.2016, is this the one that you put on mega ?

Original filename of the file I'm uploading to Mega is collapse-cm-12.1-20160512-UNOFFICIAL. If you have that one just flash. Build date is 2016-05-12 (12/05/2016 in Europe), you can see it from the filename.

Yes exactly. I flashed it already Play Store works on this build from 12.05.2016. Cool !
I already deactivated all the chinese APPS via APPS Settings --> All Apps. It's important that you have to download first a new keyboard like google keyboard. As the chinese/english one will be also unavailable when deactivating all chinese app/services from settings.

Yeah, so far that build worked fine, only occasional non-playing Periscope/Facebook videos. Even installed Xposed Framework with a few modules. ;)
Oh, are you using Trebuchet or Google launcher?
