Lenovo Zuk Z2 ROM compatibility - Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
I'm considering in buying Z2 (normal version) as is cheaper. My only concern and the doubt I have before go for it is if the ROMs made for the pro version are compatible with the normal Z2. If they are, would you recomend me to buy this phone or it's better to look for another brand ?
Thank you !

Hey there,
the ROMs für the Z2 pro are, afaik, not compatible withe normal Z2.
But there are some ROMs for the Z2, like cyanogenmod and others in this section as well.
Greetings

Does this phone have any big issue known ? I've found it arround 209 euros. Does it worth it ? How many screen hours does it have ?

The Z2 non-pro definitely has more ROMs available - Bliss, RR, CM13/14, Mokee, Slim and more. The Zukfans forum seems to be where the activity is : http://zukfans.eu/community/forums/zuk-z2.5/

Xperia SP or Moto G

Hi guys, im buying a new mid-range phone and i'm deciding between the better two: Moto G and Xperia SP.
I really like the Moto G, but what i like the best is the screen, gorgeous, nice constrast and saturation. Black is pretty deep. Also i like its bloat-free, and running Kitkat is a breeze.
On the other hand there is the Xperia SP, while a little heavier than MotoG, is more or less the same phone. Features the newer 1.7 s4 pro (same as S4 Mini, another phone i considered but discarded for being too expensive for what it is), but what i think is the biggest advantage from the MotoG is the camera, 8MP and it is Sony. The screen, i think the MotoG's better.
Don't know why i feel the MotoG better than the Xperia SP, but the 5MP Camera is a deal-breaker. In your opinion which of this phones is the better one? For daily users of the Xperia SP, how good is the Screen? Contrast, Brightness, etc. Do you think the Sony's Camera to be so much better than MotoG? Recommendations? Thanks!

Xiaomi Redmi 3 vs Sony Xperia Z2

Hi everyone, long time Xperia T user, decided to move from my current phone to something else.
The Redmi 3 seems like a really nice choice, but I have my fears with regards to its software being buggy, or waking up with weird stuff.
Then there's also the Xperia Z2, which AFAIK had AOSP support, to some degree. Not sure if it's daily use worthy tho with that. Yet the Z2 costs double the Redmi 3.
So, I have from Redmi3:
-Small price for the specs
Yet:
-A company I don't know much about.
From the Xperia Z2:
-Slightly(?) better specs
-AOSP
But
-Double the price
Any suggestions?

xiomi mi 8

Hello everybody,
I want to change phone, I have a galaxy s8 + for over a year. the galaxy s9 + is very expensive, and not enough novelties for my taste, and I see that other manufacturers like the one + and xiomi offer phones with more interesting prices.
Is the xiomi mi 8 a good choice?
thanks for your advices.
You have a S8, so a downgrade is impossible. If you just compare MIUI and Touchwiz, it's like Benz and Ford.
You coming to XDA means you know you can flash your ROM.
Mi 8 potential is very high. It will got lots of custom ROM to choose later just like the previous models.
Mi 8 with custom ROM + GCam Mod and it will rocks.

Best stable rom currently?

Hey guys i want to know if anyone can guide or suggest best working rom other then ofcourse mi rom . I have tried evolution rom and pixel experience rom. Evolution was working great, only issue is screen dead randomly. While pixel experience is strange , screen lag, front camera pop issues .
So if you guys happy with one rom, ticks all bars. Would be great.
I've planned to buy this phone, but I kinda disappointed about custom roms development. there is no stable PIE yet when ppl expecting android 10 already. This is not a "Top Seller" phone deserves ...
It's still only a mere few months since it launched. It'll take some time for more development to pop-up. AFAIK most of the devs are holding back until sources for android 10 are released completely.
Compared to devices like Poco F1 this one didn't get extra promotion especially on xda (like how the F1 got distributed to top devs just like the RN8Pro now for seeding development), also probably has lesser sales in comparison .. so it'll just take a bit more time and should soon speed up in light of the stable android 10 based updates.

My k20 pro is on way to me, and i think people should be more patient, its new device, to make a good stable rom you have to work for months on it. This device will definitely got support for many years.

Agree, but OP7 Pro and K20 Pro released at the same time, almost same devices and challenges like FOD, Pop-up camera and etc. Also OP7 Pro got official custom roms too rather than unofficial ones. kinda jealous ...
There's no stable alternative to the miui 10 rom. Even miui 11 is quite buggy.
I've tried all of the roms on here. They each have their quirks and bugs. After trying aosp gestures, miui 11 is leagues ahead too. That's another thing to consider.

The fan following & 'professional reviewers' following of One Plus is much larger than that of Redmi.
It's almost like they consider themselves the Apple of Android thus sometimes the mad, blind hype to get the latest one == larger dev interest.
Jealousy is totally normal, even I felt the same when there was so much interest in poco f1 & kernel development by several elite devs & also the time when I'd a SD821 Mi Note 2 but Pixel had a more highly thriving community but nevertheless good things like roms & kernels started coming out in about 9-10 months & still decent today..
If the hardware is strong, the device sources made available asap after official releases then we'll have development for quite a long time! :highfive:

All I hear in this forum is "mimimimimi"... What's wrong with this community? Be patient please!
The Mi 9T pro / K20 pro is a great device considering the price of $ 370.
+ 4000mAh battery
+ No notch
+ Amoled screen
+ Quick charge 27 W
- But I dislike miui in every single way
On the other hand, I think about oneplus 7 considering the price of $ 400:
+ Dual speakers
+ Amoled screen
+ Main camera with OIS
++ Oxygen OS (like vanilla android)
- 3700 mAh
- only in black color for this price
- screen with notch
In my opinion, I decided to wait a little longer while I follow the development of custom roms.
