I asked the moderator to remove (delete) my previous thread, not to close it.

Did you basically backup the unlegacy rom after editing it? But you can not take the system and simply create an update script flashable ?

How do you want to update partitions from ext4 to f2fs by using flashable ZIP?
My UBR (Update By Recovery) is the best solution for beginners, because most people do not read the instructions.
Example (last comment on my website): WiFi doesn't work - please help/fix it!
This is not a bug, you have not updated the TWRP Recovery to version 3.2.1-1 = you have not read the instructions!

You can have the pixel navbar w/o xposed: https://chromloop.com/2016/11/guide-how-to-port-pixel-navigation-bar-animation-to-your-phone/. I'm not sure if it will work with oreo since the guide is for 7.1.2.

Thanks, I will try it, but now I am using Xposed module for Pixel Navbar, unfortunately it breaks the SafetyNet.
You can choose between Pixel Navbar and SafetyNet. To pass the SafetyNet open Xposed Installer app and uninstall it.
KDCloudy's review on YouTube - thanks!
How to enable notification dots:
Go to: Settings -> Apps & notifications -> open Pixel Launcher app -> press the Gear icon -> Notification dots -> Change settings -> On -> Allow
Please download the latest version from official page - use Google to find it.[/COLOR]
I will not continue my project here, until this thread is removed.
Do not worry, this project is still being developed (but not here).

I don't think XDA or most of the forums have an option to delete any post or thread they can only close it. Any reason for deleting the thread? But cause of that you shouldn't stop posting it here.

Issues I have been facing after using it for a week:
1. Poor Bluetooth call quality
2. Random apps crashing (Google Maps/Twitter/Kindle)
3. Random slowness & lags
4. Volume/sound is very low
How do I turn off mobile data without unlocking my lock screen?
---------- Post added at 15:07 ---------- Previous post was at 15:04 ----------
@FirstEver How will we know when new update is available and what are the changes done?

Lag every second.

Excellent!
I've just recovered an old nexus 5 that was in bootloop and installed this rom, and I've never seen this phone working with such a charm, the only downside is the battery, I don't know if disabling automatic brightness is making a big difference, but I see a little gain in it.
Only question I have is how do you update to the newest version? I have the January version and wanted to update to the February without erasing any of my data of course.
Thanks a lot for the easy install and for this amazing rom!
Ps: I have to admit it does crash some apps sometimes, but nothing to worry.

it looks awesome i will try soon

great rom I would like to know how you do to change the font to this rom, since it is not the default one. could you tell me?

How's the in-call volume? Last time I tried an oreo rom in-call volume was non-adjustable and very quiet. In Most of N5 oreo rom volume is super quiet.
It should be fine by default, not ask us to fix it ourselves.
What about Substratum support?

Is NFC working? May quick charge be achieved with flashing DU kernel?

Can anyone post download links please?

[ROM] Gedeon v2.1 for Zuk Z2 Pro [MM 6.0.1]

Hi, I build a ROM few days ago for this device based on official stock.
Main features:
- 100% Based on the latest official stock (ZUI_2.3.044ST).
- Removed system applications and Chinese apps do not consider essential.
- Play Store and minimum gapps already integrated.
- English Language and European time zone set from the first screen.
- Root, SuperSU and busybox added.
- Vega Music app preinstalled as music player.
- AdAway tool ready to play.
- Utility to lock screen with a single press (Lock).
- Speaker and headphones volumes increased.
- Other minor tweaks.
CHANGELOG:
[v2.1] (2016-11-15)
- Some apps updated and others clenaned.
- Added init.d support.
- Fixed volume increases.
- Replaced stock chinese browser by UC Browser.
[v2] (2016-10-22)
- Update to stock firmware ZUI_2.3.044ST.
Some considerations:
- To install the ROM, you must have unlocked bootloader and changed the original Recovery (recommended below).
- As in the original firmware, the original languages (English and Chinese) are maintained.
- Desktop icons shaded correspond to applications that are not included in this ROM, you can delete the icons or download applications directly pressing them, if interested.
- The app System Update is not removed, but is not operational with rooted/unlocked bootloader. It is useful to restart directly to Recovery.
- The security application detects Adaway tool as virus. You can ignore the warning or delete. It was downloaded directly from the official version, it's supposed to be safe.
- There are several versions of Recovery out there, which is indicated below which has been tested and has given no problems recommended. It is in Chinese / English, to start the Recovery the first time select the option to change it to English.
WARNING:
Please, first of all make a FULL Recovery backup before install.
DOWNLOADS:
LATEST ROM: ZUK_Z2_Pro_Gedeon_v2.1.zip (1,12 GB)
ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD: ZUK_Z2_Pro_Gedeon_v2.1.zip
PREVIOUS ROM: Zuk_Z2_Pro_Gedeon_v2.zip (1.12 GB)
RECOVERY RECOMMENDED: TWRP-3.0.2-20160712-ZUK_Z2_PRO-CN-wzsx150.zip (23.44 MB)
Say thanks, its free.

Cool, thanks, just installed this rom, pretty neat. Not been able to activate the google assistant, not your ROM fault, but tried multiple forums and still no go.
Edit : Figured out a way to activate the assistant, need to enable the onscreen navigation and then select the home button.
The camera is laggy and is taking time to launch and the onscreen filters in the app doesnt work as well.

Have been using for 2 days now. Most usable ZUI so far IMO. Definitely a daily driver for me.
I experienced no camera problems, unlike @anupsnair .

Edit : The camera started working after clearing the cache. Now for some reason VOLTE / HD calls arent possible, I reverted to the old backup and it seems fine there.
@recoba23, how do u go about changing the volume of the headset and speaker, is it a build.prop edit or any other steps ?

Camera system and VOLTE calls options have not been modified, so they should work like the original firmware.
There are many explains and mods for change volumes, if you want to learn I recommend you take a look.

Great job! Another ROM for Z2 PRO. Love how the development is picking up speed on this amazing phone!

Great ROM so far! Thank you very much.
But i hvae a little problem: When i try to add a digital clock widget from a third party provider (like google clock app) the app shows me after phone was in stand-by "loading" for the app and nothing happen.
What's the matter?

Who can help?
I come from MoKee-CM13-Build for Z2 Pro.
I install this TWRP and the ROM (2.1).
Ower the restart i see the ZUK-Start-Screen and over free Minutes the phone shut of.

Can someone please provide an alternative download link? I am constantly getting 'connection lost' and there is no possibility to resume download, so I have to start from scratch.

Amazing device, more than 55 days online without reboots, crash or problems.

Hello, will there be a "[ROM] Gedeon" on the ZUI_2.5.335_ST?

Does it worth do a downgrade for 2.5 for this ROM? I don't know why I'm having problems with quick charger in the 2.5. (is it possible that a dirty flash by OTA made this?). I'm only concerned about the camera on this ROM.

NOT REPEATEDLY , DO NOT PUT THE WORD BUG EVERYWHERE IN COMMENTS NOT IS A ""PARTY""!! ...AND KEEP IN MIND BUG WILL BE ANSWERED ONCE , IF YOU ASK FOR A BUG LOOK IN THE BEFORE POST!!!. MAYBE YOUR ANSWER IS IN THERE BECAUSE IF IT IS YOUR REPORT WILL BE DELETED AND IGNORED!
This ROM is made by Meizu and based on Marshmallow.
The system design is more distinct, fascinating, and focused on content. Flyme 6 provides a fun browsing
experience with delicate and agile animation. The new Intelligent Thinking Engine "One Mind" will
automatically pick up user habits and provide solutions based on different scenarios, aiming to create
a smart mobile phone with light and smooth user experience. A more powerful safe mode — Parallel
Space — allows users to switch freely between multiple identities and spaces.
Flyme 6 perfectly combines the content and design to
provide a stunning, content-based visual experience, bursting with excitement and visual delights.
To create the perfect match for the younger generation, we boldly used bright and highly saturated colors to accentuate the boldness of youth.
The text framework suitable for reading is modulated by parameters as precise as mathematic
formulas.The dots and lines are clearly arranged on the grid to provide a distinct paragraph layout.The
best reading experience is available in both quick read and longer, more leisurely reading modes.
Spacing is widened to make reading easier.
Redundant dividers are removed for a simplified layout
The brand-new "Action View" system provides a lush presentation of the content,
and by simply moving your fingers, you can see how enjoyable graphic browsing can be.
The precisely designed three-dimensional animation system provides a livelier and more enjoyable
presentation for content. The more than 200 new animations make transition between views and activities and elegant. Such
a fresh experience promises to bring unexpected surprises to Flyme 6 users.
One Mind will detect your work and rest status. When you are asleep, the system will automatically
go to sleep and start self-repair — defragmenting memory, cleaning up system cache, optimizing background
applications, reducing standby power consumption, and freeing up more system resources. A more
intelligent system is coming closer to your life.
Great photos with just a tap on the shutter button. Not even one wonderful moment will be missed. The zero-delay
camera allows you to capture excellent pictures with quicker startup, shooting, focusing and imaging.
It has never been so easy to be a good photographer.
It is a REAL WONDERFUL OS...

I heard flashing the above mod makes Volte work. Someone posted abt this in flyme Chinese forum. And you can also flash gapps pico.
It is recommended to flash cm 13 firmware and radon kernel for cm 13 marshmallow to get fingerprint working.
I haven't tested it personally, but i saw someone posting about this in flyme china forum. Read the brush tutorial from the download page using Google translate.

Waiting some fixes then I will try this ROM ! Thanks

I tried flashing the patch but it didn't worked.

If I try to uninstall user apps, the system reboots itself and don't uninstall the app.

Goodix fingerprint doesnt work for me on this rom

Install Agni CM MM kernel, you will able to uninstall apps. No reboot issue. All apps are working fine. Just Volte is missing. I tried sudeep's patch, HD option appears in settings but Volte isn't working. I use Jio4Gvoice app, now working fine but.. we need Volte.

Compared to the stock customized rom, how do the battery life and photo quality are like?
Stock rom has a lot of features but it is battery consumption for most rom. Can this rom be the daily driver?

Hello there. I have flashed the ROM and it is smooth & fluid like. Battery life is ok so far. Have not got around to a full testing usage. Thus, I have a couple questions for anyone that can answer. 1st question; What is the difference between the official link & the international version? 2nd question; Sorry if I missed something or just don't understand what I have read so far. But how in the world do you flash the kernel? I am having a hard time trying to do so. & 3rd question; My Gmail app will not open & just force close. My Google services & sometimes the Play Store will force close as well. Any help will be appreciated!

FirstEver Android 8.1 for Nexus 5 (10-01-2018)
Mod Edit
This is my new project dedicated to all Nexus 5 users!
It is based on unofficial Unlegacy Android Project 8.1 Beta.
I’m not a great programmer, but I know how to achieve my goals.
The goal is to reproduce the Google Pixel 2 system.
This ROM contains some useful tools that can be easily uninstalled.
Before we start:
Please ignore all posts from #1 to #93 because they concern an earlier unfinished Android 8.0 Project.
From now on, the first post is #94. If the moderator can clear this thread, I would be very grateful.
What does UBR stand for?
The letters UBR stand for Update By Recovery.
This is a very non conventional way of flashing - a bit crazy/extreme like me :silly:
This backup does not contain the EFS partition which holds your personal IMEI number,
that's why you can use it on any Nexus 5 phone!
Why you should install this ROM?
+ Really easy flash by swiping only one button in TWRP!
+ Quick Installation (it usually takes 3 minutes)
+ It works instantly after reboot
+ If the phone is not damaged it will always work
+ It looks like Google Pixel 2 from the box (in 99%)
+ It has extra functions that can be uninstalled (Magisk etc)
– It has a 4 times larger installation file than standard flashable ROM
– Other applications from your Google account will need to be installed manually
What's under the hood?
Super Smooth Android 8.1 based on AOSP
Flash Friendly File System (F2FS)
Google Apps 8.1 Installed
[*]Magisk 15.2 Installed
SafetyNet Check Passed
WakeBlock Installed
Google Lens
Google Adaptive Icons
Unlimited Google Drive storage (before 16 Jan 2021)*
True Stereo Sound (Left/Right channel)
Google Pixel 2 Live Wallpapers**

What about pixel navbar?

I also wanted to ask if someone know how to activate Pixel Navbar on Lineage 15.0 - Google found nothing
Pixel Navbar for Lineage 14.1 won't flash.
[OT 1] Google Phone/Messages apps will use Adaptive Icons (it will be similar to Google Maps on my picture).
[OT 2] Is there any new Google Camera / Camera NX app for Nexus 5 ARM (not ARM64)?
[OT 3] SafetyNet Check test passes randomly - do you have the same problem? (Magisk 14.3)
[OT 4] I will try to upload 400GB (my personal images/videos) to Google Drive from my Nexus 5 - LOL

I'm ready to flash this!

Today I got permission from tathanhlam66 to use his Lineage 15 ROM - Thanks!

I gonna try this rom, when it's ready.

Looks great!
Waiting for the zip eagerly.

Ohhhh! Yeah! Zip please! Gapps are pre-installed?

Yes, but first I want to test it on my second Nexus 5

Great work by both developers @tathanhlam66 & @FirstEver ....can't wait to try on my own nexus 5

Are you sure you can include gapps in your custom rom? The last time I read, it was against Google's guidelines.
Excited for the rom, will try it out on weekend.

The previous one is better.. I don't want 1.32 GB!! How is it sooo big?

Oooooh nice...waiting for it
Hope you fix that size issue before the release date

I'm waiting for it

Could you post a build also without any Google app? I'm used to use MicroG in their place and close to no other G app. Moreover, my bandwidth in 4G/WiFi is limited, I can't download such a big ROM. Please post two builds and let users decide what they want to use. Anyway thank you for this work

JUST FOR FUN...no more no less...
BEWARE, All of these builds are in progress. So, do accept the possible issues.....
Updates will follow when ready
Latest Build : 20180821 ------>latest : A2017X_NitrogenOS-P-20180917
Your device will show "A2017G"...don't worry and ignore
As I am following the Pie (9.0.0) Nitrogen GSI build for MiMix2 and because it’s evolving quite well, I thought to follow up this project and give you updates when ready.
I converted the rom into a flashable twrp zip…easy right
Just follow with me the installation ...
Pre-requirements
*unlocked bootloader
*B12 bootloader / if you're already on it no need to reinstall
*twrp3.2.1-8 treble running
*a proper backup taken !
*installed vendor partition with Miflash
Installation
1. wipe system, vendor, data, cache
2. Install the treble v1.1 from NFound
3. Install my A2017X_9_NitrogenOS_20180821
4. Install the 3 post-sGSI file in order ! and be sure /vendor is mounted
5. Reboot
If first boot won’t start, force reboot. It’ll boot…wait a minute
After installation
*create an account and sync whatever you want to do
*Pie-NFC-fix thnx @kountry83
IMPORTANT : this fix works on other Pies too - up to you to test and see
*if you don’t hear anything when making a call just flash the incall2.zip (mount vendor and system), no need to update gms, reboot, make a call (toggle the loudspeaker in needed)
*there is an inbuild nav bar setup
*if you want to reverse softkey buttons, flash this
*perhaps you need to set your network to 'global' in settings
*rest is up to you....
What’s working by default :
Playstore
FP
Wifi Hotspot
Call (echo as to all PPR1 builds - possible fix with Volte running and some build.prop lines as Kountry83 did...)
BT
Auto-brightness
Personalizations in settings (building up as updates come)
Notifications - on lockscreen
Notification led
Vibration
NFC : works with Pie-NFC-Fix thnx @kountry83
Camera - with camera2api module the level3 is enabled afaik
Magisk 16.7
Adaway
iYTB
No overheating (cpu on normal loads/interactive / 44 C)
No lag
…
Not working :
DT2W

Thanks for sharing this rom. Actually, I installed this rom using vendor partition created by Unjustified Dev lineage so no need to Miflash.

How it's battery life on these ROM ?

front facing camera has no blue tint?
and no call echo?

Depending on what you do, but tested on build 20180819 and drained battery as PPR1 and having the 5h SOT as before. Guess i'm having a good battery :cyclops:

No tint, at least not on mine. Echo is still there on my phone. For some annoying (as for me) for some it doesnn't. Fix still to come on all PPR1 builds. Hope there will be one soon.
But the progress as to customization is growing. Power menu, custom status bar... future will bring more to that.
Positive on these builds are playstore/services are running by default., camera by default,...
No lag, no heating
So fairly good imo.
Keep you updated !
edit : camera2api module ----> level3

Use the Magisk 5.8.3 unofficial.apk to pass safetynet.
Remove your existing one and install this one.

Can I separate the ring volumen and the media volume on this ROM? Thanks and sorry for my bad English

Just curious: is an overall dark theme (amoled, even) possible with this like it was in LOS 14.1?
All those white backgrounds must surely have an impact on battery (not to mention my eyes)...

I was saying if you press media control buttons (vol up, vol down) can you separate the 2 volume types? Thanks

I will when they are ready. I'll keep this updated, no worries

Very good rom, can be said to be the most 9.0 rom now, please continue to modify, thank you!

This looks like a good working ROM. I have some questions :
1. In the OP, there is no mention of installing GApps. Are they included in the ROM?
2. Do we need to unzip the file to get the image file to install?
The other general question would be the 3 post-sGSI files (step 4). Do we always need to flash these files for every treble ROM we install on Axon 7? Say, if I want to install pixel experience 9.0 treble ROM, should I also flash these 3 files?
Thanks.

1. there's no need to install Gapps. You can as you want to but Play Store is working by default as mentioned in OP . Next build you'll be necessary to install Pico gapps.
2.No need to extract my rom. It's a regular twrp zip
As for the 3post files, do follow the OP's guide when mentioned using them...there's some contradiction though in use of them, even in using them all. For now, here it's necessary. Do try without, you'll see....

I'm running this as my daily. Only nfc missing. I don't get the same personal settings menu you have in pix. They are there but blank. Status bar, navbar, most of the others are blank. Buttons and power menu show up... Strange

OK. Most of the personalization is still in progress. On 0821 you should see the statusbar settings, navbar custom, battery custom, clock and full power custom menu.
Btw, flash the magisk 16.8 / passes safetynet check
