Apps storage limit

Hello guys,

I'm running on stock 1.42, rooted with gapps.

Quite satisfied with the phone and the rom, although I was used to a nexus before going dual sim.

Two big issues for me:

1) 2gb limit for apps download. Frustrating.

2) I need to set a 6 digits PIN, the rom only allow for 4 digits

Do you know any tweak (or rom) to workaround these 2 problems?

Thanks

There is a direct link to dowload the Mokee RC4 ?

TY
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Is there any other rom, like Mokee vanilla like, that might work for us that aren't getting data working?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] :
Thank You so much, I bought this excellent smartphone, and you save me about google apps.

I Have a question. Do you have the original recovery?

Thank You Again

I have flashed this rom:

help

where is the download link of mokee rc4 and changelog.etc .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
I have no idea, why would I? Try doing a search on the thread. I think someone just said there existed a RC4 but there was no link and it wasn't me that said it.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

I bought my from oppomarket no problems. But I did get to pay customs taxes since all delivery service have to report each package before they are let to deliver anything in Sweden, don't know how it is in the UK. But maybe you should by from a shop within the EU, no customs then as I understand it.

I was in contact with this Italian site that has the white version and had 3-5 days delivery to Sweden, should be similar to the UK, with FedEx at a cost of 15€.

www.topresellerstore.it
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
Thanks! I was actually looking at that website (I'm italian but living in UK) and I was kind of thinking to pay a bit more but be sure to avoid customs taxes.

But at the end, £40is more or less what I should pay of customs taxes at the end.

I have to say, the etotalk service of installing a already rooted rom is quite nice.

I'll think a bit more and probably do the order this week.

Thanks again

Black backcover

Anybody know whether it is possible somewhere to buy black original backcover ? I see, that couple of stores begun to sell all black version of nubia z7 mini (one of them is oppomart). Mine is black front white back version.

Hi,

I have z7 mini with 1.42 rom, root, su and twrp recovery. I want to install mokee rc4. I found this rom on china forum. English are included in this rom? I can install this rom in twrp recovery? Sorry for my english.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Lord_Snake:
I've bought mine from Oppomarket and didn't had any problems at all and didn't paid any custom taxes (probably I was lucky...)

I'm with mokee but I'm not sure if it is RC4. Mine has the Build Number mk_nx507j-leader-0924 and the link is a few pages back.

Yes, English included (only English or Chinese), and you have to install it through TWRP.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ptasiekk:
Thank you for the reply.

I think that stock room is good but i must have more "cleaner" rom :) I bought yesterday Cogito watch and try to start it. Now works only one notification. I think it's a problem with the communication between the zte dialer and sms app and the cogito watch. Before returning the watch i want to try another rom in my zte z7 mini.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
Guys please I need some help. I'm totally new to Android and I don't know where to begin. :P

I have rooted z7 Mini(received like this from China) on ROM 1.20. I would like to flash ROM 1.42 but I'm not sure of a few things. Will I lose my root if I flash to 1.42? I don't really mind losing the root, but I must have Googe Apps!! Will Google Apps still be there after I flashed to 1.42??
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Retseem:
I also had 1.20 and I updated it OTA to 1.42. I also had the phone rooted and it stays rooted after the update and gapps still there. (After that I flashed Mokee btw, which I prefer over the stock ROM)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
Thanks for the info. However, it doesn't show up as an OTA update for me so I will have to manually flash it. Will that make any difference?

Edit: I managed to install the new rom through stock nubia recovery, but have now lost root access. I'm way too deep in! :/

Not just that, but now my Gapps have stopped working!! Help please!!!!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Anijja:
Just follow the first post. :)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
I don't actually want to root the phone again as I need some apps to work like banking app. Is there any way to get gapps working without root?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Retseem:
If you need root is depending on which files are missing, but what I had was that part of google's framework was missing, so you need root to get gapps working.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Anijja:
You still need rooted phone.

I have re-rooted my phone and flashed gapps from scratch and now everything is working again. But I need my banking app to work and this doesn't work on rooted phone!!

Is there no way around this?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Why does your bank app requieres unroot.... never had this problem with my bank apps. Anyway why don't you just unroot the phone now that you have gapps installed? The gapps won't disapear when you unroot!

If you have SuperSU installed, you can go to the SuperSU app and go into the settings of the app. You should see a "full unroot" option.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Anijja:
In SuperSU, you may try SETTINGS->CLEANUP->Full Unroot
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
Thank you, that was my question! If I unroot, will Gapps still work... one way to find out. :cyclops:

As for the banking app, just look at Barclays. It never works on rooted or jailbroken devices.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
That is my understanding, the root permission is need to get access to certain folders to be able to install or change systemfiles, but once apps have made the change you can unroot (remove the permission to accesses/change those folders) and all changes done before will stay
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
Just did full unroot with SuperSU and confirmed no root access with ES File Explorer or Antutu, rebooted phone and barclays app still says the device is rooted and will not work!!!

I cleared all the app data and deleted all the Barclays files I could find manually but it made no difference. How can it detect root if the phone is not rooted anymore??
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Hmm strange... Sorry I'm lost on what might be the problem. Is it when you download the app it says your phone rooted or after installation?

Edit: check this links

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Sorted it! :D

I had to manually unroot by deleting systems files rather than use SuperSU because I have custom recovery.

My Z7 mini came already rooted and with 9.20 version installed . I had only to install CWM ( with flashify) and then 9.40 version .

My previous phone was a Xiaomi one. Comparing with Miui ......Nubia UI is a little bit rusty :confused: How can I des-installed Mobogenie and Twitter form 9.40 ? I tried with a root explorer ( tommy ) but it failed . .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
I don't think you can on stock, you can however deactivate the program. Settings - Apps - App name that you want to deactivate - Stop/Deactivate.

Edit: Check out this app that andersen10 recommended previously
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
I've already done it but ......on Miui I could delete apps from system/app.

Anyway , it doesn't matter . I'll hide those icons and there is enough memory .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Did you try the app?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:

Stock rom vs. Mokee rom

Please, Can you briefly compare the stock rom 1.42 and mokee rom ? Speeds of phone responses, camera apps, etc. What about missing notifications of WhatsApp messages ?

Thanks...
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] voetbalremco:
RC4?

I though RC3 was the most recent.

Big problem is I can't seem to get any data working, no 2g/3g/4g while stock is fine, and APN is set correctly.

Apart from that and no double tap to wake feature makes me stick to stock, but I would like to try out something else, like Mokee.

For the Whatsapp notification issue; try holdin the home button till the recent apps menu comes up, the swipe to Whatsapp and instead of swiping up to close it, swipe down to 'lock' it.

There might be some auto-clean feature killing background services including whatsapp, of you don't lock it so it won't be killed. I've done that since I got the phone and installed Whatsapp, as the introduction explained, and I've never missed any notification.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] jamieboy2014:
Hi guys I installed the mokee ROM from a few pages back. Seems very good so far. One thing I noticed is that on notifications the circle led used for notifications stays on instead of pulsing like on stock ROM. I have tried to change the light pulse settings within display but it makes no difference. Does everyone else on mokee have this same problem?

phone number International format vs Local format

hi all

One bug that I have found , I'm in France and when I receive a phone call , it did not show the name of the caller because the number appears like : 06 xx xx xx xx (french format) , while on my adress book the caller is register in format +33 6 xx xx xx xx .

do you have any idea on how to solve this ?

I can bypass this issue like modify all my contacts with the format 06 xx xx but in case of I travel outside the country, I will not be able to dial them directly and modify again format to +33 6...

thanks in advance

For me it doesnt work in both sims, tried enabling/disabling all sim options and APN, but no lock.

Yeah same for me, I really like the Mokee Vanilla look, I hope there is an update soon to fix the data issue.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] voetbalremco:
Not completely sure what causes it, but may be related to if only using one sim or the APN's list wich is in by default, problably pulled from Cyanogenmod, while on stock it didn't recognize it and had to insert it manually.

Tried almost everything i could think of,

I suspect that there is something in version 1.60 that is blocking video streaming... still investigating... it was fine in 1.42 though

Do you use some kind of Ad-Blocker? I recently had such a problem too and I'm using AdAway. At some point I couldn't connect to Play Store anymore (I don't use YouTube though..). Then I disabled and re-enabled AdAway and problem was fixed somehow. If you don't use such thing you still could look for the hosts file in the etc folder (root directory). Open it in text editor and if you find anything written there but 127.0.0.1 localhost you can and should comment it out by adding a # at the beginning of each line. 127.0.0.1 localhost is standing there by default and should not be commented out!

Hope this helps. :)

Now youtube is working.

Note that when installing apps via google playstore, you need to disable the "add icon to home screen" option. Not doing this, might result in getting two icons on the home screen, deleting either one will result in uninstalling the app.
