Is there any guide for the ASUS ROG Phone 2?

I read your guide.
I believe you have the China model.
I will be getting the Global Model soon.
I always use Nova launcher. So I have to follow your method to change the launcher or cannot be done by itself like any other phone.
I never had to go through all those steps before when using Nova Launcher.
Also by disabling Asus launcher I may have problems using the other services in the phone, which I don't want.

this method only works for CN version 28/8 or lower
on ww rom you can install launcher and use it no problem, but when you open armory gate it will restore stock launcher as default. you need to select nova as default in setting-applications every time you open armory gate

Honestly using the armory crate is useless. You can activate x mode through settings and or just use the game genie feature without using it. It has some options in there but honestly I've never once used them in the app that I couldn't launch from the left swipe of the screen

Armory crate is far from useless. It has some deep customization settings for the CPU, GPU, IO Scheduler, etc that are usually only available via rooting and a custom kernel!
I tested a demo global unit today and installed Nova launcher.
I made it the default launcher but as soon I launched Armory Crate and exited it, the ASUS default launched returned.

Not sure if this is the correct area but I have a few questions:
How well does the tablet preform?
How do you guys find it?
Is it good for gaming?
How's the battery life of the device?
Is it worth the amount of money people are selling it at?
What do you recommend the 8 GB or 16 GB
Might have a few more but that's all for now, hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks.
1. Fantastically, I haven't noticed any lag, no unresponsiveness at all
2. It's a great device and is built sturdily, the only problem I have with it is that the keyboard is just little too wide to type while holding it, it's possible but mistakes are common
3. Excellent, I've been playing Shadowgun, Need For Speed, Angry Birds, Cogs and World of Goo on it and it's been performing really well, no lag at all and the screen size is just right, and it even keeps the games in memory after opening lots of other apps and it responds really well.
4. Great, got about 7 hours out of it while gaming solidly with screen on auto brightness, when on apps other than games it lasts about 8 hours and a half
5. Yes, considering it does everything rather well, I thought reading would be difficult but it's not
6. If you download a lot of the "bigger" games from the Play Store, then go for the 16GB, if not, everything is cloud based so just go for the 8GB, unless you want to store stuff for offline use

Thank you so much for your informative feed back, could I install a 32 GB MicroSD card? If so that would be cheaper, since it's quiet a lot for a 16 GB Version and its only double the capacity!
Sorry for double comments, but does the launcher do landscape? I saw somewhere it don't do that, or maybe there's a setting for that?

There are two hacks to get this fixed. One is build. prop edit. the other i think is a framework xml edit (dont quite me on the second) Its a assumption but im sure its framework related. I do not have my tablet yet :crying:
This will most likely require you to Root your tablet.
Awe why don't they just add a setting like most launchers ;(

Had no plan of rooting the device cause didn't see the need to lol guess I would need to for this, do you think the edits will be easy to do? X
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk 2
I'm sure you know it does landscape except when on the launcher screens, but mine didn't have "auto rotation " enabled out of the box. If anyone isn't getting landscape when browsing the web, etc., check your settings.
BTW, I just use Apex Launcher and now have landscape on the homescreen too.

I would use Apex. It's free and not only does it auto rotate the home screen, you can configure your launcher to exactly how you want it.

The mobile network unlock is called SIM unlocking, which allows you to switch to other networks. Bootloader unlocking, the most commonly talked about here on XDA, means modifying your device to allow custom versions of Android.
Probably means the second one then, so that's equivalent to rooted? or not?
Another thing is, the USB port on the device, can that be used for any keyboard? maybe also a usb hub, so i can connect a mouse to it also?

Keyboard/mouse: yes. USB host capability (for expanding the storage of the device via flash drive): only when rooted so far. An update might fix it if enough people complain, but for now, you have to root it and get stickmount (or a similar app).
And shouldn't this thread really be in Q and A?

Yes. You have to have a computer with adb, android sdk, Java dev kit setup. You have to patch services.jar to get 100% its all in the op but the part about setting up the environment variables with Java and adb. Google it...if you don't know I mean...its all there. Hope this helped. Let me know if you need anymore help.

Look up runandhide05 his dev host site has all his works and one is for g now xyboard. Before you flash it with safesteap rename the existing google voice actions or googlequicksearch box by adding bak to the name. After you flash it rename it to re install it. Don't set any defaults because the microphone will go away if you don on homescreen and it will say google/Google. Looks bad. Make sure you have the right google text to speech engine and all is well. Hope this is what you wanted.

If you want a better way to control rotation...and TONS of other cool options look up XPOSED FRAMEWORK!!!! Its revolutionary.
Also have theme engine like CM...T-MOBILE. I have ten themes already installed working great.

I got Gnow partially working, its an older version, and no voice. Whatever I'm too lazy to take it further. Back to old search.

Yes I know. Shameful. But its Motorola's fault for using blur and locking bootloader and no expandable memory. XOOM 1 is the first tablet using android and purely google like nexus line. 3+ years and still tons of dev support and even stock jb. I got one 2 days after release, loved it, that's why I got the xoom2. But only the name is like the original and the rest sucks.
Anyway...just dig around and you will find a lot to work with. Xposed allows several "rom - like " mods on stock ui.

Most of the Xposed things I tried didn't really work but I'll try.
All I want is a 1% battery mod and the Jelly Bean themed nav bar. But I can't seem to find any of those. This 1% battery mod doesn't work for me.
I have a nexus 5, and love the newer KK launcher. I have my tf701 ordered and shipped but not delivered yet. Just wondering if anybody tried using the launcher?

Looks like it works with other tablets and phones too. It adds a Google now screen if you swipe all the way to the left and makes the bottom bar through. I don't it would hurt anything seeing as it is just an APK. Shouldn't need root or anything like that.

I thought it needed KitKat to work?
I think it will work on anything with jelly bean or newer. I'm not a hundred percent sure though. When I get my tablet in I will install it and give it a try.
Here's another thread about it.

I did it. It is different looking as well. It will work just don't delete your system launcher like the others did. Once pressing the home button in this mode it shows you different stuff. To leave is different as well. I don't even use this ultra mode but root definitely changes it.
I tried ultra power saving mode also and my phone rebooted fine. And I am rooted.
Anyone having serious battery drain 4.4.2?

That's fine, just don't enable UPS mode. It apparently needs the stock Launcher in order to work properly and not lock up the phone on boot.
