Do you think an international Version with COS (CM) is coming? - Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers

The question already says everything.
I love the specs of the phone, finally a flagship which has all I personally need.
When it gets the amount of Custom Roms of the Z1 i really want to buy the Z2.
Furthermore 6 GB Ram sounds really tasty.

I'd like to think so. See no reason why not.
I was literally on the cusp of buying the Xiaomi Mi5, but this appears far superior, except perhaps the lack of NFC.
ZUK Z1 wasn't very popular, but it kind of missed the boat. Seems ZUK have dropped this phone right at the correct time. Xiaomi isn't making it easy to get the Mi5 and the OP3 hasn't dropped yet.
Be nice if CyanogenOS 13 was on it.....

Well instead i think not...in the last days if you follow the official european distributor facebook's page they told a lot of bad things about Cyanogen, the last one is this:

Then i think that is really hard...however i don't think that they will stop international avalaibility but probably they will translate the ZUI..or maybe they have a sort of Android version for global market (like One Plus with Oxygen OS), let's wait and see!

don't know if I could go back to a phone without wireless charging but otherwise it sounds great

Okay looking at their Facebook page seems unlikely they wanna use CM again... so hopefully its unlocked so there will be good development for this phone to change ZUI.
There is intl version of lenovo rom though.

Anybody knows, is english language include in it and can i use it in Europe?

So i hope that CM is coming in the unlocked version.

We know nothing right now. But im sure in some days/weeks we will get the infos. I really really hope that the Bootloader is unlocked for CM (not ****ty COS).

For me a translated ZUI or another Chinese rom is a NOGO.
The rest of the phone (but the battery) looks very good....

Given the fact that you already have Z1, why do you say that Cm implementation would be better and ZUI is a no go?

Of course. You are right. But with an unlocked bootloader and open sources we can get our beloved CM and Toms and the people who wants to stay on the Zuks UI can do it.

Agree of course. I didn't want to sound offensive But tbh, I only have had zuk z1 in my hands for maybe 5 days. And CM was as buggy as ZUI. So I'll wait for xda users "reviews" rather than some *izmo**** websites review. And then I will decide. On paper it looks good so far

What is Toms ?

based on what i read in a couple of sites - it says there is no international ver of the device.
hope it will be proved to be wrong.

Looks like no international version. China only.

It won't come with cm, although I think it would be an open source software and would be a peace of cake making Nexus ROM based .. So I don't mind.

Engadget updated their article to say a Lenovo rep confirmed China availability only: http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/21/zuk-z2-pro-lenovo/
Maybe it will still come with an unlocked bootloader though, however resellers prices will likely prove to be less attractive...

Ciao @oile,
it's a very personal opinion. I dislike actually every ROM that is not AOSP based. Material design is brilliant and implemented in all major apps. Switching from a material design app (e.g. Gmail) to a very chinese stile (e.g. ZUI) is very inconsistent.
I'm not a Cyanogen fanboy (I'd be happy with something similar to what OnePlus did with Oxygen OS) but the stability, performance and features of COS 12.1 on the Z1, are almost perfect for my usage pattern.
Long story short: it's a very personal preference of Android as it was designed by Google with some nice additional features.

Ciao @branzoll,
unfortunately in my long experience of flashing CM and ASOP roms I never found am implementation that was perfect (lower than stock camera quality, bad radio drivers (GPS), lower than stock battery life). The two best CM/COS implementation I tryied were on ZUK Z1 and OPO!!
I hope I'll be wrong but I struggle to think of full sources sharing. No OEM want/can have a full release (see Sony and their willingness to share stopped by the legal issue with Quallcom).
I lost the hope of a perfect custom AOSP rom that is not a official commercial one (COS/Oxygen/some Mediatek ROMs).

HTC One and Cyanogenmod

Hello everyone,
Over the last three or so years I have made my way through a lot of phones, always in-search of the 'perfect' one.
I've settled on the Nexus range because I love stock Android and have found the hardware to be acceptable.
For my next foray into a 2013 phone I'm thinking of getting the HTC One and pairing this with Cyanogenmod, when it becomes available.
This to me would be the best physical hardware, in both appearance and materials of any Android device, and software.
Something akin to this!

}
So the reason for this thread is to gain input from those who have used both Stock and Cyanogenmod.
Am I going to be satisfied with the move?
Visually things are the same? The use the same assets?
What problems could arise? What should I be aware of when compared with Stock?
Any other thoughts or opinions you may have. Please keep it in-line with the HTC One and Cyanogenmod.
Many thanks.
Off-topic but when I look at that Black picture I find it sooo cool.
CyanogenMod will most likely come to the device. I don't see why it wouldn't. It'll also look just like CyanogenMod on your Nexus devices. But you can be assured that it won't come easily. It'll be harder to build than a nexus device, and early builds are likely to have bugs that will need to be worked out

I've never rooted a device to put any ROM other than an update to Stock. I guess what I'd like to know is what the differences are between stock and Cyanogenmod. If the experience of using them is nearly 90% the same, then I'll be happy. If it's further away than that, I'll have to force myself to wait for the Nexus 5 and hope it brings some premium materials.
Re: blingfeed annoying
Is it worth it. I love it but even on the one x was frustrating due to not being able to use the camera to it's full potential.it would fly on here but you'd lose a lot on this device. Which would be a shame
(No doubt if be trying it still if it was here though and get frustrated again lol)

I had the last 'perfect one' - the legendary HTC HD2 - since it came out.
I dropped the first one I owned and almost sold the insurance replacement to buy a different phone.
I was tempted many times by the hypegasm of new fangled phones but, really, what were they adding that the venerable HD2 couldn't already do? Nothing really.
Glad I made the choices I did.
Wait and see, all these answers can be answered by yourself ...

By default, it is basically identical, with a few improvements (T9 dialing).
However, there are many options to customise it - adding different shortcuts to the lockscreen ring (up to five, I think), quick-toggles in the notification shade, "quiet hours" (a setting which silences your phone during certain times of the week)..
The list is exhaustive.
CyanogenMod is much better than stock, imo, notification toggles are much better (and less complicated) than the quick-settings panel.
i wouldn't buy this device based on getting CM10. i think it's going to be quite awhile for both this phone and the s4. if you want a pure Google experience id look into the n4 or wait and see if the n5 is going to be announced at google io in may.

Already have the Nexus 4. Mainly interested in the external hardware look and feel of the One, it's the Android equivalent of the iPhone 5 . I doubt Google will announce a new Nexus device at I/O, but I could be wrong.
I'm looking for opinions of those who've used both Stock and Cyanogenmod extensively. What they like and don't like.

It's not Stock Android. There are a few modifications! For example the quick toggles.

I didn't read the question properly lol. Mate if your a fan of pure android stick with the nexus.I love both so I'm okay. But pure...there's a lot to be said for how quick everything runs. Though I wouldn't pass on the one.

Thing is, stock rom (Sense) tend to have better battery life than CM10. Stock roms (Sense) are more optimised for the system. I've noticed this since my battery was a lot less when I had the S2, S3, HTC One X etc using CM10.
I also feel this may get a quicker/less buggy release than the S4 with exynos 5. I imagine samsung wont release any info for the exynos 5 like they havent for the exynos 4. The S600 variants will probably be fine but that may give the One an advantage.
it makes no sense to buy a HTC One or any phone for that matter to just put stock android on it.. you lose half the features the phone came with (even if their are gimmick or not)
You should just buy a Nexus device.. because in the end thats all you trying to get..
You are buying the HTC One for design.. not for its features..
The processors wouldn't be any difference in notice.. unless you plan on running HD 1080P videos every second of the day and playing games like "Dead trigger, Real Racing etc every day"

The main difference between stock android and cyanogenmod are featured n options. There are a lot more settings, n tweaks and ways to persoalize it the way you want. There are also variations of CM like aokp, paranoidandroid,etc which add even more options and customizations. Also there will be sense roms with things added/removed l, etc that you may like. The great thing about Roms is that you can change the whole look ans feel of your phone within minutes. Best thing for you to do is go over to like the HTC EVO 4g LTE forum or the HTC ONE X forum and look thru the android and original android development sections at all the toms and get an idea what is out there. Any aosp rom would be cm like stock android and any sense is just that tweaked stock sense.

So it looks like a ROM can't be built from this right now, but do you think it means for certain that n7 2012 will get 'L' from Google?
Yeah definitely.
There is an updated device tree (updated directly by Google of course); that seems to indicate the arrival of L builds for the Grouper.

That's due to the terrible Tegra 3 SoC (even for its time) and awful kernel and drivers from nvidia.
I'm actually surprised it runs as good as it does on the latest kitkat release. Google have done everything they can for this old device.

w00t SRSLY?! Have you tried re-formatting all partitions with F2FS, use an AOSP based 4.4.3/4.4.4 ROM on it with ART enabled, fsync turned off and Greenify for all less important apps? (together with an optimized custom kernel). It runs amazingly fast, even without any overlocking the CPUs. It also gives a great battery life due to Tegra 3's companion core. I actually think that the SoC was more future proof than all the Snapdragon SoCs that came out last year.
williamsjp: I have my Moto G here in front of me (bought it back in November) and my Nexus 7 (with the setup mentioned above) is definitely faster...way faster in fact.
I also have a moto g and a stock nexus 7. The phone is way faster. Probably you're right about f2fs and that does the trick.

f2fs masks the horrid IO problems on the Tegra 3 a little, but if you do much, lag. Optimized software can only help with bad hardware so much.
All-f2fs... Honestly, nonsense IMO. Data and cache, yes. System? Useless.
Personally I'm really tired of my Nexus 7 2012's lag. It was a fast device when I first got it but once I started installing stuff on it and it got filled a bit, it's lagged ever since. If I nuke it completely, fast again. So I could remove a bunch of apps or stuff, or use it slow.. Oh well.
AOKP 4.4.4, data f2fs, m-kernal a69, in case you're curious. And yes I greenify apps which can' t behave and run themselves etc.
I could really use a point in the right direction about making my 2012 16GB WiFi model faster. It's had CM10, CM11 and now bone stock 4.4.4 on it and it's a all a lagfest compared to my N5.
If there is anything at all I can do, i'm all ear's. I see something above about F2FS but I don't come here often (ever, actually) so I have no idea what that means.

Android P coming to 5/5T "later this year"

The device will, of course, be the OnePlus 6 as it will most likely be the first, and only, OnePlus device to have Treble support.
Apparently, though, that doesn't mean we won't have Android P on the 5/5T...
Friends,
Did you get a chance to catch the Google I/O livestream yet? We're excited to announce we've been working closely with Google to give OnePlus 6 users early access to Android P Beta, shortly after launch. OnePlus devices are some of the most developer-friendly phones on the market. We look forward to seeing how app developers and other early adopters in our community will take advantage of this beta to create even better software experiences.
Since day one, we've been committed to working with our community to build the best software possible. We've come a long way thanks to the passion and dedication of the whole OnePlus community. Your feedback has helped our team push out some of the industry's fastest software updates. OxygenOS continues to evolve at an incredible pace, thanks to you.
Over 135,000 of our users signed up to review the OnePlus 6 early via The Lab. With the OnePlus 6 device in their hands, they'll be among the first in our community to be able to download the Android P Build. (OnePlus 5/5T friends, we'll have something nice lined up for you later this year.) In the meantime, if you'd like to read more about the latest Android release, feel free to visit https://www.oneplus.com/developer-preview. We'll continue to work closely with Google in the coming days, so stay tuned!
Never Settle.

Your experiences and feelings about what OnePlus has done with the OP5 is far from the much more favorable experience I've had. I recently laughed at a large number of my relatives who all bought a Samsung 8 or 8+. They were just getting Oreo 8.0 while I was already on 8.1.1 with April's security patches. Sorry but your comments on ugly interfaces do not ring true when compared to that sad Samsung TouchWiz experience or the inferior Bixby personal assistant.
Unless Android P allows for theming support (e.g. Substratum), I'm not all that interested in it any way.
That's about treble support i believe, cuz mokee dev spoke with one from OP developers, not exactly new android ver.

- updates aren't be-all-end-all. i remember samsung introduced split screen in their touchwiz way back in jelly bean. stock android got it in nougat.
- liking a certain ui is subjective. i have been using stock android since my nexus 5. and after a while stock android gets boring.
- Bixby is inferior. yes. no one is stopping you from using google assistance.
- yes, camera is bad. or rather the software is pretty bad and the difference between images captured with OnePlus camera and pixel camera proves it.

When you say "that's about treble support", you mean OnePlus will add treble support to the 5/5T but not P? Why would they do that? It would be pointless. Or do you mean they're adding Treble + P?

I doubt that to be honest, OnePlus has already stated that none of the currently released products will be getting Treble support
If they do release Android P for our phones it will likely not use Treble but just be built as previous roms have been.

Currently only available for specific countries. I'm curious what they'll say for USA.
"Something nice" does not have to mean we'll get Android P. I'll wait and see - but in the mean time, I'm happy with 8.1.1.

Well what else would it be? A box of chocolates? They're discussing Android P and specifically mention the 5/5T getting "something nice", it will be Android P without Treble.

Did Google ever mention a non-Treble version of AOSP 9.0?
Android P would be nice, but I'd like to see a near stock Android P, not oreo which looks like nougat

Yup! That's how it works, you simply can't sell it for a full or simmilar price, but 205£ is way too little

You mean: there is a unused partition? I've read about it, but isn't that just over-provisioning for the flash storage?
What was that partition supposed to be for? Why is it there?

The spec sheet is good. Reviews are good. But the availability is via flash sales. Though the company didn't mention anything about the sales being flash sales. There are worthy competitors available at this point. It just user preferences. Other phones in this price range have great community support as well as popularity. Its upto your choice. :fingers-crossed:

Haha. I don't have any problems with flash sales. I always get it. I looked at the competitors like max Pro m1 , Redmi note 6 pro(it's release is still a suspense), and realme 2 pro which released yesterday. I didn't like battery in realme2 pro but look is good also the company is new so I am not sure about support. Max Pro m1 is old also it has ****ty development for 6 and 3 gb version. You can't do anything not even unlock, I managed to unlock officially then twrp won't work. Moto promises updates as it comes integrated with Android one. I don't go for the phone with good looks but is reliable and can have good development. That's my point of view. That's how I thought about buying Moto one power.
Just wanted to know what criteria do you guys use and will you buy Moto one power if given a chance..

Wait a minute, Zenfone's 6 GB variant doesn't unlock? HOLY MOTHER ._.
Then the Official Lineage ROM is for which version?
And Redmi Note 6 Pro released in Thailand I guess, today only. Check it out.

4 gb version mainly. I saw noone confirming it works on other variants. I am having hard luck working with it. Forget custom roms I can't even root the current rom because of twrp being unsupported

Or Maybe I am enlightening the guys. Just use your head. Moto one power has official twrp which isn't even released in India, max Pro m1 has no official twrp. And before that read the forums for 6gb version. I will link then as soon as possible
Edit:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
Read the comments beginning from last page. Or just ask any 6gb version guy if it works or not.
I have 3 phones already. All rooted. I am well familiar with the adb and fastboot. I have compiled roms too. So I can't be said noobie. But believe I have tried everything but I can't get it done. And couldn't find another guy who sorted it out. Maybe you can find.

Well, there are often weird quirks associated with devices which have multiple variations. Some ROMs break in some variants. Nothing to get angry about. I have known many people who have flashed wrong ROMs and softbricked devices and came crying to me.
Not about fake news, but depends upon the devices also. Some devices are taken up by the community no matter what whereas some devices are cut some slack due to support. We are all enthusiasts here.

Asus provides single firmware for all 3 versions and same otas.
And all custom roms works on all 3 versions of the phone. Still you are making assumptions. Fine you don't like asus. But why bs false info.

All models have same model number? Then its bound to be same.
And no, I don't hate any device.
Zenfone Max Pro M1 is one of the best device to be owned right now. The dev community is beaming. And the 6 GB version is indeed a treat. I am not actively into a device's dev scene untill I own it or am planning to own it, hence I dont know.
And to be frank, all SDM636 devices are going a long way! Its a win-win!
Guys I have one question. In review videos when they show sensor spec sheet in antutu app, I saw this " Orientation sensor - Not Supported" can anyone tell why it is like that. I thought it has each and every sensor.
Look at this

Orientation is a software based sensor AFAIK. It uses the magnetometer and the accelerometer to roughly guess the orientation of the device. Now if you have a 3 axis gyroscope, you can have the precise position of the device more easily.
I told all of this from the top of my head but I will get back on this if I find what I said is wrong!
Edit: I was correct and here is the proof, thank me later!

100$ challenge for first OnePlus 7 pro custom ROM developer

Hi guys I am conducting small program to motivate developers .
I will donate 100$ to first custom ROM for OnePlus 7 pro developer.
Conditions:
All basic functionality working.
I'm honestly surprised that we don't have any custom roms yet

How about donating to @phhusson because the AOSP GSI he works on pretty much has all basic features working with the exception of finger print sensor but giving how long it took to get an under-screen sensor working for OP6T that might be a long way off yet.

Ravi

(I didn't check the thread or anything, I'm just answering to this post)
FWIW, on Mi9, I fixed under-display fingerprint less than three days after getting it. (more precisely, after I got bootloader unlock because of stupid Xiaomi 2 weeks bootloader lock).
Also I've been told that pop-up camera doesn't work well on OP7Pro too. Though this should be quite easy to fix.
(I'm currently working on K20 rather than OP7Pro for the moment though)
Then I'm supposedly getting an OP7 from OP, but I haven't got much news.
Someone say AOSP?

I think the devs are waiting until all the OnePlus 7/7 Pro models are out and all the sources are available so they're not starting again and again.

I used your 9phh treble build and it actually works really well. But yes, camera pops up and wont come down, have to give it a manual tap and it closes. FP, yep, non existent. But other than that, its pretty stable and useable. Glad to hear you are getting one. If you need logs etc, let me know and ill get them to you. Or ill just wait till you get yours.

I'm not. "CUSTOM" ROMs are getting more and more obsolete, especially as long as smartphone OEMs churn out decent stock ROMS, like Oneplus.. Or if certain OEM rom features can't work nice on a custom rom. Even so, it's a lot easier to just improve OOS as is; hard to compete since at heart, OOS is a ROM everyone helped to develop somehow. The only things that seem to matter is - DARK THEMES and themeability, which don't need a custom rom. - Magisk root modules -[ed]Xposed modules -kernels.. If a custom ROM could pack all stock rom features with actual additional features (maybe dual audio, 4k HDR recording, idk)..
Not meaning to talk garbage to all custom rom makers, but it's no longer as essential as it was. There's "better" things to work on, as people have less time to do stuff, or as android just gets better.

What were your steps to get a GSI to work on our device? I couldn't get it to boot
I vooted it easily. Follow Google's method. For flashing Android 10 gsi then fastboot -w and flash everything needed. Should boot fine. Ran Omni the other day
Not sure if anyone has tried, but im guessing the 6t fp fix does not work on the 7/pro so it will need rebuilt from scratch again?
