Why not merge the x722 and x720/x727 rom in a new forum space so we dont need to mantain 2 posts for the same rom?
Hello, the division is necessary, because there are incompatible roms, but ...

No need to put a rom in both places.

When it's exclusive for X722 it goes here.

When it is for both terminals, it is set to "LE PRO 3" and indicated in a description compatible with X722.

I guess that's better than posting twice

Greetings.

How come roms are compatible with both x720 and x722 if you need to hardcode the cpu name and also put in different firmware blobs(ex. gpu). Has anyone tested the roms here that say x720/x722 on both devices? If not, we can't be sure.

And can someone tell what led to brick with the x720 roms on x722?

As for the merge, i think it will be messy to post to x720 forum only and the x722 probably won't notice the stuff that's there.

Because people will get confused and flash the wrong ROMs on their devices, potentially causing a brick. We have enough people with bricked x722s as is.
Thats why I am not saying delete this two, I am saying make a new one for roms compatible with both which is every new rom

After reading up on yet another person bricking their x722 because they thought they could flash any ROM they wanted, and then flashing TWRP over stock 26s (leading to a perma brick)... I don't know anymore. On one hand, it creating a new sub-forum for cross-development may stop and force these users to think before doing anything, or it might lead them to believe all x720 ROMs are compatible with the x722, due to a lack of understanding (maybe they don't speak or understand English well). All I know is, we desperately need a sticky about stock 26s on the x722 in the General Help sub-forum.

You misunderstand the idea. Only roms that are compatible "cross device" (meaning on x720/x722/x727) will be posted in the subforum. The rest will go into their dedicated subforum.

I understand what it means. I just fear others won't understand and may end up with bricks. That's all.
