DooGee X5 Max Pro best clean Custom Rom<Solved>

[R1ffR4ff]

Updated!

Having tried many of the Custom roms around for the above phone some of which still had malware installed or were buggy I finally tried Lineage 14.1 based,"Mokee".

The flashing it took quite a long time to boot e.g around 15 mins plus but once installed acts as normal.



I can only speak for the 32 bit version as that is what my phone is.

All my fave apps are working.Battery life as normal if not better.No crashes.

Zip was checked with Avast anti-virus before moving to phone and then with Eset and Sophos Anti-virus/Anti-Malware once installed and found clean.

I've also monitored the rom using No-root Firewall over the week and nothing seems to be,"Calling home" that shouldn't.

Unless something changes this is the best clean Rom I've had on the phone.

HTH

Yes.Totally rock solid and no problems to date

On the old original Malware infested Stock rom there must have been some kind of hidden timer as it was well behaved for around a year and the just after a year loads of ads started coming up even after Factory restores.

I tried loads of Malware/Anti-virus apps and it was only ESET security that found some hidden Trojans

See this thread and my tip at the end to get the rom/s to flash,

Puts me into a boot loop. Did you follow instructions to the letter? Because instructions include wiping system before flashing mokee (but wiping system removes the chinese recovery (power + volume(-)). After I restored nandroid backup, was still in a boot loop. Had to reflash stock firmware

Had to "cook" my own twrp recovery (none of the ones i found around worked) so maybe I will have to do the same with mokee, like merge it with stock rom to make it work?

I can't remember if I wiped it first

I think I just did a Factory Reset on the rom that was in before flashing with Mokee.

I had no trouble with the files from,

When you say Boot Loop do you mean you see the Mokee icon for a long time and it seems like it's doing nothing?

Also mine is the 32 bit version,not the 64 bit.

Also what I had to do at the end of this post,

Boot loop like seeing the silver doogee logo. Then shuts down and restarts.

I got mine from the same place. Mine is 32 bit as well

There are 2 factory resets. The advanced reset, that the instructions mention, includes system wipe.

I'd just try it the other way round from what you have tried.Without being there it's hard to get an idea.As I said it's been a few months now so I can't remember the exact sequence

Also it did take a long long time to first boot.Also try a Factory reset after the rom has flashed..
