Hello World,

Me again. After my first attempt at porting a fully working ROM, or what I tought was fully functional in my opinion, I now ported Paranoid Android, aka the greatest custom ROM for stability, to our X722 ZL0 Elite or however you decide to call it.

You'll see that in PA, everything just works and is super smooth. Even the two simcard slots do work.
You will see that in some things the phone gets reffered to as te X720. Will fix in a later build.

I've tested this build two days and everything works, even Bluetooth calling in BMW 2017 Professional navi !!

First of all, credits where it's due:
@GalaticStryder for PA
@murat1150
@slothdnk
@MakeX722GreatAswell
@evlo
@mick_novi for starting the amazing thread in the X722 section

Bugs
None so far. You Tell me


Installation procedure
  1. Unlock bootloader. Best to be on 26S firmware, 20S will also work.
  2. Install TWRP recovery (I used one specificly for the X722 by @CrisBalGreece). If you use a X720 TWRP image then you'll have to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it after flashing the ROM in fastboot. Please don't be stupid and report bugs while you aren't even flashing the damn boot img...
  3. Wipe cache, dalvik and system (f reset)
  4. Flash my ZIP (link below from google Drive)
  5. Flash OpenGapps package of your choice for ARM64 Android 7.1
  6. Wipe cache
  7. Reboot and enjoy

Please note first boot shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes !

Disclaimer: Everything you do is at your own risk. I can't be held responsible for bugs or anything that leads to consequences because of my work. If you quickcharger decides to charger your diesel car instead of your phone that's not my problem.

You can use my work for your own ROMS. In fact, I would love to so that we can boost the support for this amazing device (160EUR!).

I am expecting my x722 from GearBest, and I am worried how will the flashing procedure go. I would also appreciate detailed, step-by-step guide with pictures since this will be my first time to flash any smartphone.
Anyway, I want to pay respect to the developers - kudos to you! :good:

Mine came bootloader unlocked. You just need to Google, a lot of tutorials here on XDA and on other websites.

Unfortunately, GearBest support has mentioned that the smartphone comes with a locked bootloader. Too bad my phone was already on its way! :cyclops:

Gearbest doesn't list the version of eUI the phone ships with, which is dumb. It probably comes with 26s, which means you'll have to flash the dev ROM and then unlock the bootloader. I think it's this one, but I'm not sure. Just do your research before trying to unlock the bootloader or flash TWRP, otherwise you'll end up with a brick. @dakok might be able to help you out.

Or maybe they just mean the bootloader in general is locked (on 20s). Many x722s from different shops come with locked bootloaders on 20s, but 20s is super easy to unlock. It's just 26s that's dangerous.

Everything works except for changing the volume of the conversation
Talk volume is the same with minimum and maximum settings
The volume of the interlocutor does not change

Just tested it, for me it does change the volume. I use the Google phone app, can you try that from the play store ? Make sure to set it as the default telephony app in settings else you will miss calls.

I put a google phone app and, by default, now the noise grows, but the minimum volume is all very loud
Otherwise, there are no problems with the firmware, everything works fine

Check this link! It's in Spanish but appropriate photos and info is provided especifically for this link!
If you don't speak Spanish use chrome's translating function!

Yeah I know, the lowest setting is still loud... For me it works and doesn't bother me but I didn't test it on EUI how it was.. So can't compare it.

Hey guys,

I'm just looking into options I have with the X722, and Paranoid Android seems like the best one around. I just have some quick questions.

1) How is the battery and thermal profiles? I'm now on stock EUI, and get around 6-8 SOT. I guess that SOT will be lower, but by how much? Also I intend to use the phone as a daily driver, and considering the ROM is cooked for Snapdragon 821 by default, are there any problems like overheating or battery drains? And can the battery be improved with AKT profiles for OnePlus 3 and Le Max 2, or is it pointless to try?
2) Is the ROM as stupidly fast as videos show with OnePlus 3T and Le Pro 3 non X722? Honestly, the speed looks amazing, mainly compared to EUI. I don't mind EUI that much, but wow, this looks stunning.
3) Is there any kind of OTA available?

Thanks a lot, it's great to have some options with X722.
