Are you referring to vanilla android? Ie: like the pixel? Lineage, aosp and the like?
Or stock emui?
You'd need to unlocked your bootloader for vanilla.
There isn't a lot of ROMs for the p20 pro, but there's one lineage which works well.
Then there treble ROMs which are getting better.
Personally I'd go with treble as they're more feature packed.
Missing a few features.
NFC
Stereo speakers.
Fingerprint.
But beyond that it's fine..
Lineage would have the fingerprint working not sure about NFC.
To flash Vanilla
Unlock bootloader.
Flash TWRP
Disable security (pin, fingerprint etc)
Copy ROM to memory.
Full wipe, and cache, and dalvic
Flash ROM and g-apps
Flash Magisk if needed
Boot
Emui
Boot to eRecovery
Download and install OS
Boot.

I'm really glad you posted because I'm shocked to read the state of the custom ROM scene for the P20 Pro! I assumed vanilla (yes I meant vanilla "pure" Android as in like the Pixel has) ROMS would be in their abundance for this widely received phone.
NFC and fingerprint are two hugely used features by me. I'm also treating the camera apps on custom ROMs with a little trepidation in these areas because it's so good on this phone I have read stuff that alludes to the fact that the camera hardware is not taken full advantage of if it's not got the official Huawei camera app (I may have misread that, happy to be corrected)

Yea that's not true about the camera mate .
I have Resurrection remix working on my p20 and I still use the stock p20 camera app, so no problems there..gallery can be a bit funny but it is what it is..
There is also a ROM called berkerley which is actually a Honor 10 ROM but it will work on the pro..
It's a pie ROM.

do you have every function working as it should? How would you compare the pure Android experience compared to what you had on your Nexus in your sig?

Button for that pal

The only way to get stock Android is to buy a Pixel, Android One or a phone like the Essential PH-1 that comes with stock Android pre-installed. Custom ROMs like LOS are not stock Android--they are vanilla Android and always have bugs. There is no such thing as a stock Android custom ROM. Treble ROMs are also vanilla Android, not stock.

Good to hear you finally got it to work! The random resets are all gone ? What did you have to do, rebrand back ?
---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------
I guess you also miss out on VoLTE. I feel VoLTE really gives better quality and connection times so I'm still sticking to (rooted) EMUI and find it just fine.

Reboots were fixed by flashing a different ramdisk.

All Custom ROMS for Gionee M4

Hello mates,
Just upgraded from my two year old Lenovo P780 to Gionee M4 Marathon. Excellent phone with super FAIL rear camera. It seriously sucks, Even cheap 2500/i rupee phones have better camera than this.
First thing i did was to root the phone, Rooted successfully after installing all the OTA updates available. If some one needs i am attaching the apk below. Just Install it and hit root. Should be done.
Secondly i never did like the amigo UI and carefree launcher. Installed Nova launcher to replace the launcher but i cant find any custom lollipop Roms for this phone.
I have decided to develop a ROM myself. Will be uploaded here in a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile all those with Gionee M4 please do share links and information about any custom ROMS you might locate on internet. Lets make this device a better one.
Cheers !!!!!!!
:good:
Not found any custom roms for this device yet.
My setup and review is exactly same - Crappy camera
Using nova launcher,
Amazing battery backup
Amazing 3G radio connectivity even in remote places where none of my previous Samsung, LG phones worked.
I think its not worth making 5.x rom, better make Marshmallow or none.

Hehe.. LIke minds think alike mate. I am working on this 5.0 based ROM, i need to get rid of Amigo UI. I m not an advanced developer, just trying to modify stock firmware so as to get rid of bloat and crappy UI. I wish some one comes up with an marshmallow based ROM. Search is on. Lets wait !!!

Good luck.
Sorry for the discouragement in the previous post.
I have no problems with stock UI and in fact it performs so smooth compared to the Note 3 and other mainstream phones.
Also, the battery is amazing.
I keep searching... There are some scam sites claiming marshmallow is available for Marathon M4 but it looks like they are simply collecting personal data without having any ROMs.
High Screen Power 5 ROM installation
Hi guys, just wanted to update all, i successfully installed custom 5.1 ROM from our fellow mates at 4PDA.
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=689083
The ROM installation was successful and everything worked great except however there was no cellular signal. The radio firmware does not support Indian frequencies so i guess i will have to revert this time.
I am now working on customizing this firmware to install Indian version of Modem. If anyone has an idea about this, please share.
Hope to see a stable custom 5.1 for our phone soon.

Tbh, nothing excited me. I installed it (previously was on NucleaROM) and while it was downloading I was thinking that I'll be losing my Google Assistant but if the rom is great then it is worth losing it. After using the rom for like 6 hours, I found out only battery life is great, and this rom is really not worth losing the Assistant. So came back to NucleaROM!

This looks interesting!! How was the camera quality of roms like this? I realise that we'd lose features but camera quality usually is lost when using camera apps other than the stock ones?
*UPDATE - just watched this video and see that they managed to port the stock camera - amazing!
I would LOVE to have rooted resurrection remix with stock Mate 20 pro camera - REALLY hope this is possible and will be eagerly awaiting/watching this thread...

I read on Telegram that this software said our X2 only has A partition but in reality it is A/B. I don't know if it's true...

if you check the app treble info, you will see that it say use A/B operating system and Architecture is ARM64! so i can say nothing actually worked.
