I am confused by your first sentence. Are you asking or telling your experience?

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Thanks for update. Are you also experiencing the issues pointed out by one post above yours? How is battery life if you constantly keep connected to wifi?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
The camera wake up? TBH I didn't quite get the issue, but I don't see any unexpected camera wake ups.

The only very minor issue I get rarely is that the WI-FI is not able to connect...but this may also depend on the access point.

For the rest, I have really no issues, the only one was HERE maps which was fixed in a recent version of Mokee (or Cyanogenmod).

Battery life is not bad...but my battery is now old (almost 2 years old) so I can say with a normal usage (some browsing, some whatsapp usage

and some others apps) I get almost a full day on.

I'm always connected to WI-FI, at home and work.

upgrade

I am on official 1.76, android 4.4.2 with rayglobe twrp recovery....can i directly upgrade to 3.83 version?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
No, You can't . You have to upgrade to official 1.82 and then with Nubia updater to 3.12.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Acharyavijeth:
One last quick question :) does rayglobe recovery work on 3.12 and above versions as well? if not can you please send me the links of recovery for 3.12? thanks in advance
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
I don't remember what version of TWRP is rayglobe recovery. As I remember I used TWRP 2840-2860 for firmware 3.12 -3.73. For more info about recovery see first post .

If you can't find a TWRP compatible with 3.12 ( android 5.0 ) : do an update ( off. firmware ) from 3.12 to 3.83 and then you may find TWRP's compatible version as 2860, 2870 or 3020 .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Acharyavijeth:
rayglobe is 2.7.x...thank you for the links :)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Thiago Moya:
I guys,

I´m in the version 3.04 (cuoco rom) and I want to upgrade to the last version of cuoco ROM ( Android 5.1 ), but I have to update 1st do official v3.12 version.

But I just find the baidu link, can I use other? Baidu is terrible, will install alot of adwares in my laptop.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
If you didn't find it yet see here .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Thiago Moya:
Thank for the reply mate.

I just installed the Mokee 6.0.1 ROM and it´s perfect.

Works very well, very smooth, apps transitions seems very better than ZTE/Cuoco92 ROM and I just found one bug in SIM2 4G/3G conection, seems not work, does someone know something about how to fix?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pyrosquad:
hi guys I am the new one

hi, I read some topics but still I dont know,what is the best rom for my nubia z7 mini, mokee,miui,cynogenmod? stock rom is wretched, it has got very unnecessary apk, ı want to simple rom,fewer apk,long battery life,thanks:confused:
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ljo13:
I can definitely recommend the Mokee 6.0.1 ROM. It is stable and there are not really any bugs if you pick the latest Nightly or release.

I tried the normal Cyanogenmod 13 (Mokee is based on CM 13) and I prefer Mokee. It has slightly more features and more updates (which is good in case of bugs or security problems)

If you want a polished ROM, go for Cuoco's ROM's. They are not based on Android Marshmallow but I love the tweaks and optimisations Cuoco does on his roms. I switched to Mokee because I wanted to try Marshmallow but if you are happy with Lollipop, take the latest ROM from cuoco. It's stable, looks good, has lots of features (god, I like the messaging app) and it guarantees a good battery life. (At least, in my experience) ;)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] tennu123:
As i have no data connection on latest Cuoco, i would like to know how to flash nx507j_light_UI_3.9.6_250316.zip. I can flash Mokee and Cuoco, but i can't flash nx507j_light_UI_3.9.6_250316.zip. Is the partition different or something?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Acharyavijeth:
Hello, I am on official 3.8.3 with twrp 2.8.60 recovery. Wanted to install Mokee 6.0.1 release. Can I directly install it or should i downgrade current one and then install, coz I read in some portal that to install Mokee 5.0 , we need to downgrade to official 1.82 or older. Is this the same process for Mokee 6.0.1 as well??

Thanks in advance
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
You can install MK 60.1 directly from 3.8.3 . It's better to change the recovery version with a new one - I used 3.02 .

This is not possible without hardware change. I have not idea how it can be done and I think it's a kind of fake.

Hello U need to step to Nubia 3.01 in order to have partitions for Android 5 and up. I am not sure it is possible from. Mokee 4. I was on Cuoco 1.62 then upgraded to 3.01 with special tool. Then glasses trip 3.0.0 from Couch. Now I am on Mokee that seems to have no major issues.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Filozof71:
This is caused by something. I also had it but I perform backups from clear mokee plus gaps and next backup before major changes. Currently I run few days ago updated Mokee 6.0.1 rooted and with xposed client and libs, without major issues. The only that I am lack and what I consider as holly grall is to partition SD card for link2sd application. I was also quite successful with resurrection remix bur for now dropped it for mokee. Remark - need install root and xposed libs after actualization of mokee.

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

I vote Mokee for now.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] MrKoning:
3g

Installed Mokee 60.1 today but 3g doesnt work with dual sim. With just 1 sim inserted it workes fine. Anyone else with this problem? Everything else is working fine.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
Using mokee since months and never had problems with 3g
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] MrKoning:
Perhaps because I flashed from stock V3.01? I now flashed CM12.1 and no problems with dual sim and 3g.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
Could be... Always better to do a clean install when moving between roms
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] snowpetrel:
I replaced my screen lately, and after that upgraded to the newest mokee rom that I could find. However, somewhere along the way my camera flash led stopped working. I don't see cracks in the hardware, so I suspect it is another reason.

Can anyone else with mokee 60.1 tell me whether it is an issue with the rom or not? I also had to restore my IMEI so there is a chance that it is caused by some other file getting corupted too.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] simrim1:
Hi,

I am using mokee 4.44 (kitkat) since 2014. It has been running well except occasional minor glitches. I want to move on to mokee 6.01 now. What is the safest procedure to do that. Do i need to backup nv files etc. just in case? Thx
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
You can't move from 4.4 directly to 6.01 . Read few pages before - post 1282 & next ones.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Filozof71:
There is an option which card is for data. Did you switched it?

Hello,

I have told that Mokee 6.0.1 works ok, but it seems that sound is not so good as on stock or Cuoco92 or even ResurrectionRemix. I tried Viper but isn't it. Also many equalizers seems not to work anymore. Any tips.

Where can I download official 1.82 for nubia z7 mini? Where can I find Nubia updater?

everytime i try and download from www.nubia.com or www.baidu.com it downloads like .14kb and never downloads the whole files. Is there any other place to get these?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] fritznet_1:
Hi everybody. Does someone know something about an official marshmallow update from nubia??
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
Hello, i have built resurrection remix for the z7 mini, but i dont have the device at hand to test it. Here is the link for anyone who wants to try: https://mega.nz/#!JhJGTZBQ!lu-DIuxk8OznIRpvjzga9KmKivt5qXGtaVv2hxUNX8E
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
let's hope there it'll be on late august .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] MirosPikos:
I don't think so, Z7 mini will get Marshmallow officially.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
I tested it for few hours.

It seems stable, without the proximity sensor problem of MoKee's.

Light notification don't work .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
Thanks for the feedback. The led notifications settings are in the display and lights tab, but i guess you have tried changing them already. I suppose i will have to get my friend's device to solve that bug .

If you still on my rom, could you try nubia camera? Link is here: https://mega.nz/#!RooRVYZD!Y_-BDKb703b6WfytX1Ayd0r03j6NRexJ-b244SIKQHI . On every marshmallow rom nubia camera kept crashing when using the selfie camera. I have merged a patch from the z7 max device tree to specifically prevent that from happening.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] snowpetrel:
I got the same issue after upgrading. Still got to find the right fix, but I think going to default firmware, clear + upgrading again will work.

edit:

I found the reason why it didn't work with 2 sim cards and 4g for me. Both SIM cards were set on global for network type, which causes them to be limited to 2g only. What I did was set both to GSM network only, and then set the card on which I want data connection back to global. Currently I am running RessurectionRemix instead of mokee for a test run, but they are very similar so I expect the same to be the issue in the Mokee rom.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
Camera works well , no crushing on selfie.

I'll check notifications once again .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ljo13:
Has it ever been confirmed that there will be an official Marshmallow update for te the NX507J ? I don't know a lot about ZTE's update policy but I would be really surprised to see an official Marshmallow update since most mobile phone manufacturers do not care about updates at all.

Hell, the whole update policy of even the more "premium" phone manufacturers is the reason why I visit this forum so much. And since our device is not really a "premium-phone", I seriously doubt we will get MM.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] AGelu:
Man, nobody knows for sure about MM update. Officials promised ( in later spring ) an update for Z7 serie on july but cancelled it later . It was told about update to Mi 4.0 or a stable rom to 3.96. There are some rumors for late august but I doubt about MM . Our phone is already 2 years old.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] flamery:
ZTE is very good with updating software (compared with all other Chinese brands) There is already a beta version released, there is already a unofficial v6.0 released and the official release is expected to be in August.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] snowpetrel:
in my experience both Mokee and RessurectionRemix 6.01 work fine on the z7 mini, if you want to consider non official roms. The only thing that I noticed not working is my led flash, and that is likely a hardware issue seeing that I upgraded at the same time as doing a screen replacement.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
I will consider adding more features, like f2fs and encryption support. Thanks for testing. I will do a proper release once I have tested it myself on my friend's device.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
Do you have any device/kernel tree available somewhere? I was interested in porting RR to the z7 (and started do something) but I couldn't invest too much time and so I stopped.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
I used ultimatum163 sources here: https://github.com/ultimatum163. But they need some cleanup, since he added some features in the kernel makefiles(crypto, f2fs, governors) without adding the necessary files they require to be successfully built. I also used some files from my(paolow8 with some fixes) z7 max device and kernel trees. I will properly readd these features(i added them to my z7 max build by using oneplus one commits) and push a ready to build tree in my github. I will probably build a new recovery with support for f2fs as well.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] snowpetrel:
just in case you don't know it yet: there is a russian guy that also is creating the ressurectionremix rom for the z7 mini.

see http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=626900&st=2920#entry44897603, mainly the posts of ultimatum163.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
Of course I know it, I have tested his cm13 and rr roms in my friend's phone. But my friend is in love with the nubia camera app and he preferred the cm12.1(also built by ultimatum163) in which the nubia camera was working fully. Since I built my own rom for my z7 max, I had to merge a patch for the nubia camera, and I also merged it for the z7 mini in order to have that specific app working.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] benschhold:
do i have to upgrade to nubia lollipop before cm 13 roms?

cause i have only 4 gb partition but in boardconfig there are 12 gb reserved for it

i read somewhere that partition resized then

its my girlfriends phone so im not up2date on this

thanks
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
That is correct, for every cm12.1 or cm13 based rom, you have to update your z7 mini to official lollipop in order to have the partitions merged into one big data partition. Backup your efs partitions first, a friend of mine lost his imei, thankfully we had a backup and restored it when we installed cm13.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pierg75:
If I remember correctly the nubia tool does a imei backup before doing the conversion
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] snowpetrel:
don't rely on that. I used that tool, the official version and I had backups without the IMEI. It first erased it, and then backed them up. The second time it made a backup correctly, the third it didn't generate any file at all.

I had to manually restore it using a hex editor and a copy of nv.qcn someone else made available on the internet. I did write my IMEI down before attempting the upgrades, but if you didn't do that they should be on the inside of the battery cover as well if you still have the original one.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
The best and easiest solution is to backup your modemst1 and modemst2 partitions with partition backup app, you can restore them in any firmware without any exotic tool(only root and the app needed )
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] snowpetrel:
ah good to know that, I thought that since it is in the qualcomm settings that it could only be manipulated from a computer.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] MirosPikos:

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Flerou:
grimlock,

here's a tutorial in Italian, with google translate you can figure it out how to upgrade:

http://fieldofview90.blogspot.de/2015/07/zte-z7-mini-da-stock-920-lollipop-312.html

I saw that you downloaded Rom 1.8.2 - is that stock rom? if yes, can you please tell me where you found it? I soft-bricked my Z7 mini in the course of above update (I made a mistake, did not follow the instructions), and I need stock Rom 1.82. to restore it - it seems the only chance to get it back.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] grimlock100:
i have the stock 1.82 rom from nubia i can share with you i also have 3.01 and 3.88

what i did was backup all my items i wanted to keep did a factory reset then tried to update the file on my sd card using the update menu in settings it would not find the file so i updated it using the recovery menu (i think that what it was or fastboot) picked the update.zip file and let it do its thing make sure when updating you leave it even if you think its not working as a few times i almost tried to reboot as i thought it was stuck in a boot loop just takes a while especially 3.01 as it is changing the storage partions on your phone.

to update from 1.82 to 3.01 you need the nubia update tool 2.01 this is software you use on your pc what i forgot to mention is you have to make sure that there is plenty of charge in the battery at least fully charged which is what i done and no sim cards in the phone this is for ANY UPDATE you do.

type *#7678# check adb port and factory port in the menu that comes up connect your phone to the computer install the drivers for the phone extract the update file and the run the nubia tool.

now it is in chinese but pretty straight foward make sure the phone icon is green not red if not the drivers or connection is not right when this is right click the box thats not greyed out and it will want you to pick a file then go to the location of the 3.01 update file (unzipped) and then let it update. it takes quite a while so go have a cup of tea come back and everything will be done.

3.01 to 3.88 is just like the first method upgrade through the update menu in settings

please not that any backups i made using the stock backup tool in 1.76 does not recognise them in 3.88 so i used titanium backup to restore my apps everything else i stored on my pc.

if there is a way i can share these files with you i will
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] simrim1:
[MENTION=7774785]grimlock100[/MENTION] I am on Mokee 4.4 RC6 I think. The had been working good but now it is misbehaving. I am thinking of moving to official lollipop. Will you please share 1.82 and 3.01 so I can go through this update process. Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] grimlock100:
if someone can tell me how to share the files i will happily share them.

i updated to 3.88 and then i couldnt receive calls. the call would go through but not showing up and no ringtone. after the call finished it would indicate that there was a missed call even though it didnt ring. updated it now to 3.90 seems ok now.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] erikkramer:
Just posting this so it may help others.

I'm using a Nubia Z7 mini since 2014.

Some time in the past:

I rooted the phone. Probably according to this guide

I updated to stock 1.62

I replaced the battery, because it was running out too quickly. Easy peasy and a big improvement.

Now last weekend, after a lot of research and contemplating, I:

followed this pdf guide from Cuoco

used the rashr flash tool to flash the recovery image with Cuoco's TWRP 2.8.6.0 image

used TWRP to install a custom 1.82 rom. Because I couldn't, for the life of me, find the stock or cuoco's 1.82 version.

used the nubia nx507j updater 2.0.0 tool to install the stock 3.01 ROM. This step merged the disk partitions on the phone, which was the main reason for this adventure. And it's awesome.

The recovery partition was now back to some sort of stock version for some reason, so I flashed it again. This time with cuoco's TWRP 3.1.1.0 using the adb exectuable in the download.

Then I used the TWRP recovery to install the latest Mokee nightly version [17/DEC/2017] together with open gapps mini for android 7.1

There's probably a better way to do this, perhaps by using an updated guide from Cuoco, but hey.

It's been running pretty smoothly.

Dual SIM usage is slightly less easy than with the stock rom.

But I have no complaints so far.
