Hi

I have just uploaded the my "B14 Clean-01" here

http://www.needrom.com/download/zte-axon-mini-model-b2016-only/

I uploaded 2 versions, one for our phone B2016 and another for the B2105, they are identical but with the correct modem on each of them.

I cannot test the B2015, so please someone let me know when/if it works.

The change log is:

EDIT10: B14 ROM available!!!

- I left the setting app unchanged this time. I found a very neat file where you can choose what items of the settings manu to turn on/off. The file is system/etc/P839A01.settings. Feel free to play around, no reboot needed, simply close the setting app, change this file and open the settings app again to see the changes. No risk of bootloop either, I have alrteady turned everything on/off to see what changed.

- Force is still there, but now I have disabled it by default in a attempt to see if it improves battery life. To enable it simply change the build.prop line "ro.build.PTP_Feature=false" to true

- Added a bunch of build.prop tweaks. To restore it to the original, simply delete all lines below the note "#manually added".

- I cannot tell what else changed, the cumulative update to B14 was only 8Mb compared to B13, but as found in the ZTE website, some configuration files have been changed to "improve memory management". So far this rom is very smooth and seem to work better (or no worse) than B13.

- Dolby behaviour changed a bit. It stays on when plugging headphone in, but turns off when pressing "play". It still works though, but you have to press play then turn it on manually.

I have tested and xposed works well too.

B09, B12 and B13 are still available from my Mega account (on the OLD roms link).

PS: if you have difficulties or don't want to register in the needrom website, send me a PM and I can upload it on my MEGA account.

Regards

guys i opened my boot loader first i went to developers then check on open bootloader, second turn off, third press power with volume up it will boot to recovery then finally press on boot into bootloader [MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] can you check that on b14 update
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Not sure I understood what you want me to check?

do you want me to turn on the bootloader option in developers, then try to boot into it? what is the point of doing this?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] RVA84:
B14 runs perfect!!! better than B13!!!

good job!!!
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
good to know, thanks for the feedback
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
yeah
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Hey [MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] , do you think we can delete the whole force touch thing and script. I am pretty sure that the touchscreen responsiveness lag comes from the fact that force touch is embeded in the software. You can deactivate it, but still the script is somewhere there that gives a slight delay when draging something. This may be because it is waiting if you will press harder or not.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Mate. To be honest the b14 is actually better.

I cannot see any difference between now and the ROM without force touch)

There are only 3 files and the build.prop (true, false) that are needed. You try and delete all of them. Mostly the pressuretouch app in priv-system

I think the buildprop tweaks I did help. And I'm also leaving the glove mode turned on to see if there is any difference.

One think I noticed is that the battery life seem to have had a Huge improvement (I thought my battery icon was stuck, but it isn't). I'm leaving the phone ntil the battery dies to see if it will simply drop from 67 (at the end of the day, 18 hours on) to zero subdently.

Also, I think the delay is due to badly written software. Some apps (e.g. xposed list, holo launcher, and others) behave as if there was no delay. I can't see the delay coming from the hardware. Zte simply ****ed up everywhere in their software. But when an app is well written then it works fine. Even Google app now became pretty fast and it wasn't.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Ok mate, I will try your version. I understand most people don't notice this, the lag can be noticed when you try to scroll or pull down notification etc., go on developer otpion and enable show touches, the small dot stays behing the finger when scrolling. On other phones I have tried the dot cannot be seen, it sits under the finger when scrolling which means there is no noticeable lag.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
​

I know what you mean. I use the show touch too.

However there is no delay between touching the screen and the dot appearing. There is, however, a delay when scrolling so you can see the dot.

So the screen itself "feels" the dot in real time. But the is takes a while to inform the screen to move.

Still think the delay is more software related and less hardware.

For two reasons:

1) I used [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] CM rom and there was no lag at all (or I couldn't notice)

2) the way the governor parameters work is funny on this zte ROM. The processors take a while to ramp up and that is where I think the delay comes from.

I have not yet found a stable way to fix these parameters. If the power manager is not frozen it always overrides my setting.

I keep power manager frozen with icebox, but as soon as I run it to see the battery graphs, then it reverts all my setting back to original.

I found a file in system/etc called init post boot that is the key for the governor settings, but I have already changed the hell out of it and the power manager keeps messing thing up.

If I could uninstall it without losing the battery graphs I would.

Cheers

Hello Demenicis,

I have (a while back) flashed and have been using (very happy)

Bormental's B08 M ROM on my b2015 zte mini

.

Soooo......, if I want to flash the new (b14) ROM, do I follow the steps you suggest, namely:

"

if you already are on M rom (B09 or B12 or B13):

- you are already rooted so just reboot recovery and flash the aboot5*** file;

- flash B14.zip (ROM); then flash superSU 2.62; than (optionally) flash xposed.

- reboot system. First boot WILL take a while to boot, wait up to about 10 minutes.

"

I'm not sure if I am rooted, I still have and can boot into TWRP (TWRP for Axon mini by Bormental 3.0.2-0)

Do I need to do a complete wipe (Dalvik, system, data, cache, etc...)?

What does flashing Xposed do? (I don't think I need this as I will not be modifying any system files?)

Sorry for the bother, just want to make sure I won't brick the phone (as this seems to have happened to a few people).

Many thanks for your work. :good:
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes just follow the instructions.

B08 and 09 should be the same.

Just wipe system and cache (keep your data)

Xposed is optional, no need to flash it.

I recommend SuperSU 2.62 first. Reboot and test your system is ok. Then back on twrp and flash the 2.78 (or simply go to playstore and download 2.79 now)

Root is only needed for installing twrp. After that you can root/unroot at any time via twrp.

Cheers

PS remember to flash aboot 5 and to reboot recovery again before flashing the new ROM
[ZTE Axon Pro] master66:
how is the battery doing on B14?

The B14 ROM has only chinese and english right?

Thanks

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Yes, so when you press you cannot see the delay. As a rule, the digitizer delay is the lag between the dot and your finger, software delay is the lag between the dot and the point on the layout where you had your finger when you first scrolled. Actually the 6.0.1 is faster than bormental rom regarding scroll, since he had the 5.1 kernel of zte on that rom (qhich is slow as hell).

Will see if any other options can improve anything, thanks!
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Battery is certainly better (my b13 to be honest was drinking it badly)

Yes languages are the same Chinese and English.

I'm in the UK, but maps was speaking US English. When I used a language app to set the system language to British my Google maps now speaks UK English, perfect. Then I realised Google simply uses whatever language is set as default.

If you use any language app but your default language isn't set, then it means the app didn't work.

By the way, I just tested antutu and this is the score.
[MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] do you think we can flash the journaling.script on MM too for more performance?
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
http://en.miui.com/thread-21539-1-1.html this tutorial im going to use to build the rom so you are welcome to use it too
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
The script doesn't damage anything you can try, I have flashed it many times on the B13 rom, then let us know the new antutu score.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Tested it, no changes. Guess it works only on previous android versions.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
What rom did you get score from? B14? It is so far the highest ever on this phone.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Yes B14, have done some slight changes on the rom, and used your built.prop, nothing major. After doing the jurnaling thing the score went 44.100. Guess it could be because the first time I did antutu after restarting the phone.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Antutu

Just did another try on Antutu to see how far we could go. This is after restarting the phone and keeping it on aeroplane mode. We started with around 36.000 with the Lolipop rom now we are at 45.300, quite some progress. Maybe with a clean rom, CM14 it could go another 5.000 points.

BTW [MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] do you know which file is My Voice because I want to delete it, it stays in thr background spending cpu.

P.S

After some tests, I believe that this is thr most fluid rom till now B14. It is very snappy and th screen is more responsive than all previous versions.

Props to ZTE, at last they are doing some real improvement
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
Hi, first of all, thank you for the B14 rom. I just have a problem with gapps. Each reboot of the phone disable "Google Play services" and force me to use "google installer".

When i install Google Gapps from opengapps.org , the phone is stuck on "Checking connection". Does someone know why it happend to me ?

Thanks :D

Edit : I found the problem xD sorry
[ZTE Axon Pro] WizzdoM:
Hi all,

I just got the ZTE Axon mini [B2016] and I request your appreciated help with it, it's a bit laggy and does not support my language (I can use english, but it is for my father).

The device is rooted (KingRoot) , no Recovery mode, tried any combination of power and volume up [it hangs on boot logo]

I've installed TWRP Manager from PlayStore and installed with that twrp recovery with no success.

Tried ADB but fastboot commands returns : Failed (remote: unknown command), I guess the bootloader is locked.

I'm sorry if it has been answered already but I didn't find any tut. that worked for me.

I'll be happy for some guidance or link for that matter.

Thank you very much.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
OK, good.

Try not using Google installer. It is not needed.

I think you just forgot to read all the instructions about giving playservices permissions? Anyway I'm glad you enjoyed the ROM.

Cheers

My voice is the voice assistant (priv-app) if I remember.

I thought I had deleted it from the ROM?

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

Hi.

1) download the correct twrp (3.0.2 bormental, found also in my needrom page)

2) download a terminal from play store and give it root permissions.

3) put the twrp.img in the internal SD.

4) now open the terminal and install it (type the "SU"....Enter..."if dd...."). You can also do it via adb pc, but still need the twrp.img in the internal SD card.

You can find all files and instructions in the needrom.com.

Find zte category then find the ROM I posted. Download instructions for root and twrp.

The important thing is that you still have a bootable system, so you will be fine.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] WizzdoM:
Many Thanks to demenicis & bormental

It was fast as a flash, and useful and it worked, you're the best ! got accessible twrp recovery. back on the track, thanks again demenicis.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Nice. Glad you got it
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I downloaded the b14 from ztedevices abd did some changes I like.the stock dialer is not bad, the caller name shows fine and has been fixed. There is a new extra option on fingerprint, you can automatically open an app by linking it to one of your fingerprints which is rather cool. As always I changed the boot animation to axon 7 and thr ui sounds with the ones I like. Other than that deleted a lot of bloatware but still have that My Voice app. I don't root thr phone since it feels pretty good.

Hi

help please I bought zte axon mini b 2015 phone after connecting to wifi it was renewed and got stuck on the logo (wipe does not help) through rekaveri OFFICIAL firmware are not put, as I was told after the diagnosis of the phone flew memory layout (aboot) and to restore the need to flash he could not tell how to do it?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I'm sorry but this translation is nearly impossible to understand.

Why can't you simply flash the stock L ROM?

Did you manage to root and install twrp and then the M ROM?

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] makgivan:
Hello there could not be anything to install, I used the phone for about 30 minutes, then he asked for an update update .After he stuck the logo zte. I should stock rekaveri (not TWRP) through it is impossible to flash the Official firmware (ROM) since 20 percent of the phone is switched off and the (POWER off) and switched on again
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Your phone is the b2015, so you may try flashing the stock M ROM, unmodified.

I think what happened to you is that the update tried to move you from L ROM to M ROM. Now your recovery was replaced by a newer stock one, so the only option is the stock M ROM now, and you will never be able to root your phone.

On more thing: your phone is new, you tried the stock update, it fails......You must complain with the shop you got it from.

If you start tweaking the phone too much you will lose you warranty.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] makgivan:
And where to get the firmware (M ROM)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I sent the link a few pages back. It is from the china zte website.

Either of them is good, b09 or b14. B14 is the latest, obviously.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] makgivan:
I had tried to install them, it is still 20% after the phone reboots
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
OK. You will have to tell us exactly where you are if you want to give us any chance to help you, if it is even possible.

1) if you unboxed your phone and tried to update it via ota and it failed, then I think you are trying to get help in the wrong place. Zte should be able to help you.

2) now. If you tried to root and install twrp then you are in the right place. But for that you had to have lollipop as stock and never tried to do an ota update.

3) please confirm what recovery you have now. Read at the top of your screen.

4) is your system booting (I guess it is not)

5) have you rooted your phone, and have you left the bootloader unlocked in developer options?

6) have you tried to connect it to your PC via adb? Can you get su or shell commands to work? If so you can install twrp.

7) have you tried to flash the stock L rom? The b03 or b04? It may work. Just go to zte website (not the china one, just the normal one, search for honk Kong and you find the b04 available for download)

Depending you answers, only zte will be able to unbrick it. But please confirm every question, one by one first.

Also, I'm using the MROM B10 I found in the china website (the full network one).

The reason I'm trying this ROM is because it seems to be the latest "FTV" (force touch) officially made after the B08.

I hoped the force touch would work better, but in fact it is worse (force touch password simply doesn't work) than my adaptation over the b14, so I turned it off anyway.

I modified it as usual (adding the gapps into system, remove recovery, B2016 modem, etc), then I flashed the ROM, superSU 2.62 and xposed, one after the other.

The phone booted straight way in 30 seconds, without even "updating apps" (dalvik cache).

Then I realized that if you use xposed, this is the way to do it. If we don't flash xposed straight after flashing the ROM then the phone will "update 70 apps" in the first boot, then will "update 130 apps" once you flash xposed again. this can take nearly 45 minutes.

I'm quite please with the ROM so far, although no difference whatsoever from B14, but the battery seems clearly better (it may be my impression so I'll use it for the rest of the week)

I'd wait until I try this ROM for a week or so before installing. As I said, I cannot see ANY difference compared to the B14 except the fact that the force touch officially implemented.

Regards

EDIT:

actually B10 (24 jan 2017) is technically one day newer than the B14 (23 jan 2017) !

This just tells me they are identical. But the force touch I added into B14 is from the B08 (which according to my tests, work better than B10).

But because I don't use force touch anyway (I even deleted the mifavor launcher), B10 seems to be keeping my battery alive for longer, today is the 3rd day I'm using it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] makgivan:
does not work
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
So Sorry to here.

But I truly think in your case you did not make any mistakes. Just ask zte to fix the problem they caused to you.

This phone is good. It is average in most of it, but brilliant in sound, internet and screen, and I also judge the camera above average, far better than, for example, the galaxy s5, front and back ones, by miles.

So it may be worth it to persevere

Tip

To get some extra battery life you can disable VOLTE in the settings
[ZTE Axon Pro] RVA84:
What is VOLTE???

I have noticed that in my case the bluetooth consumes excessively. Anyone else feels the same

Hi. I turned it off. I can't yet how effective it is at saving battery but I can say that today at 8am I had 100% and now at 8pm I have 59%, I used the phone moderately but it though not a lot.

The screen is clearly the battery sucker here, and when the screen is off the battery remains unchanged for as long as 10hours, unchanged!

One thing I noticed since lollipop, is that quite often I'm speaking to my my on the phone and she stops hearing me, and I found that I have to turn the loud speaker on/off so she can hear me again. Does it happen to you guys too or only with me? This happend with volte on, and today happend with volte off too.

That is clearly not normal and not ok.

Shut the service and see if it comes back, may be an app was trying to used the Bluetooth for something.

I had a barbecue this weekend and my phone was passing the Spotify songs via Bluetooth to my speakers, for many hours and I could not even see the Bluetooth service on the battery list
