Yes it is possible, and I have done that before. You can try if for yourself.
You can download and follow the guide in first page for changing rom

Or use this Link

I got bored with that EU rom, right now best for me is stock Chinese ROM (PLK-TL00C01B388)
This one got build-in call recorder  mega_shok.gif

1. Download Firmware Finder
http://www.mediafire.com/file/o3f5f2zzxmvs703/3.6.7.1.zip

2. Extract Firmware finder -> update if necessary -> find PLK-TL00C01B388 (Refer Attachment)

3. Download the firmware. Then Flash it.

4. After flash, make sure you do 1 more time Factory Reset, so that it will be clean

5. First thing you need to to once you got the Chinese rom, install the Google Play. This is tricky. took me couple hours figure it out. Then you need to download google contact, google sync + google calendar. Set those up, then everything should be fine.

Try reinstall the Chinese rom again. This time without installing the gApps.

Then, refer this link to install Google Play

After couple hours analyzing this rom, it feels a lil bit weird.
It is fast with great features and all stuff.. but the most disappointing part is about the protected app + permission manager. Although I enable all app to be protected, set auto launch = it will still close when you do a 'clear' all app from your home screen.
But Whatsapp and other messaging system will still work. I don't understand why (or how).  hmm.gif

That being said, I'm on my way to try out Malaysian rom  laugh.gif

bro, is this bug still occur to your phone?i think its happening in mine since i flashed to b388 few days ago..how to fix it eh?

yup, i figured this one out too  icon_rolleyes.gif

long make it short - example:
While you complete Whatsapp installation, the phone will give a pop up, asking do you want to run on the background. By default it was selected as "no". So you need to choose "yes"
* repeat the same for any social media app installer
* I don't recommend choosing yes for gaming app.

Then it should be working as usual.
You also need to go to Phone Manager - Protected App - and protect all the necessary. Exp: Whatsapp, Wechat, IMO, FB Messenger, Beetalk, Instagram etc.

p/s: dun forget Notification Center - choose how the alert to be appearing on your phone. Status Bar,banners, lock screen

alright thanks!

Erm, this part a bit difficult, but with easy solution I use

1. Nova Launcher Prime
2. Browser alternative i use CM Browser (this one comes with built in ad blocker)
3. Music - I don't use it. But you can always download other alternative app
4. Video alternative: I use MX Player Pro

* Use Nova Launcher to hide all unwanted app.
This method works for me and really happy about it.  icon_rolleyes.gif

So does the Chinese rom suite you, daily usage?
*
its a good rom so far..so light and battery last a bit long since i just installed few google apps..awesome features that other roms do not have (call recorder etc)..just still figuring out to solve the notification issue because sometimes notification will comes in when i open the app (whatsapp, telegram, instagram, other messaging apps)..

Ever tried to backup & reset to Factory Default + Wipe dalvik cache over recovery? Worth to try.
If nothing happen, then we know its the battery issue already. 
@Vcys86
I was on various rom before and I can summarized:

Pure Rom by DigiGoon: Very light + fast + smooth etc + no longer supported + security patch outdated

Lineage OS by Papsi: Battery hunger + no issue with whatsapp & other notification + on going bugs (even with xPosed) + support is about 50-50 from dev.  bangwall.gif

Lineage OS Reloaded by WBT: Battery consumtion depends on your usage. tricky part on the doze usage of Naptime and Amplify - trust me, you don't want to mess up on this

MiUi for Honor 7 by WBT: Almost perfect rom for daily usage. Base from China rom + have build in CM call record. Problem with Magisk (root alternative). Magisk hide won't work well with banking apps such Maybank + Cimb. If you are okay with no root, this Rom is a new experience.

Stock China (PLK-TL00C01B388): Rom is stock, just need to install Google play from HiApp during the 1st setup. Have a lot of features such as build in call recorder + Dual App + Split screen. Works with Magisk root & normal root. The only problem I had was - this rom does not keep the apps that we protected.  ranting.gif (you know what i mean) when we clear everything, it will clear everything and will not keep the selected protected running service. Unless, need to move the whole directory from \data\data\ to \system\priv-apps

Stock Malaysia (PLK-L01-C636B375): Finally, im back to M'sia stock rom  tongue.gif . Can't say how much i missed the good old days. Best rom ever! I mean, with the latest security patches dated Nov 6 2017 + Magisk hide (root) works perfectly on banking apps. Protected apps working fine + battery consumption is good + i can manually add split screen, etc...

so.. yeah, i go for Malaysian stock rom  icon_rolleyes.gif

good experience sharing bro..i want to try latest msian rom but still need those call recorder function..huhu

Revert back Magisk installer to version 14.
Do not use latest Magisk version 16.
This will solve your problem
