Remember to remove the recovery from it before flashing.

I'm now curious to know the differences.

Judging by the size, only ~100mb, it may just have some new or new versions of some system apps and, potentially some bugs fixed (what bugs really? That aren't any bugs on the stock rom!)

I have uninstalled about 650mb of system apps from the "preloaded" and "priv-apps" and "apps" so I fear I may end up messing my rom if I update it as it is now.

Please see if you spot the differences.

Thanks.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
To be honest with you I have gone through this drill yesterday and I am also reluctant to go through it again. But temptation is still there. I might had done it but my mobile's battery is at 5%. So it needs a recharge anyway. I have removed recovery from zip.

By the way would you like to share what apps you have removed from system? 650MB is lot of space. I also removed all folders in preloaded folder.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I can't right now, but tonight I'll make a detailed list of what I removed (without side effects) and what I added instead.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Thanks. There is another question. Do you use What's app on this mobile? How quickly you get message on What's app? I get it very late. Sometimes after 15 mins and I can't figure out Why.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I don't record having any delays, however I recently stopped it autoruning in a attempt to increase battery life. Now it doesn't update at all (I still find unread messages sometimes though) unless I'm on the app with screen on. I think the scheduled awake runs sometimes.

This phone stays totally dead when screen is off, no power leakage at all. However when the screen is on....my goodness, I can see the battery percentage dropping before my eyes. 6℅ writing this message! From 100 down to 94....sorry 93 now.

This seems to explain why the phone is so much faster than the previous rom. It seems to eat power now. I even turned the Min big core numbers down to 1..... anyway the OS is great and responsive, and if it wasn't like this we would be complaining it was slow!

demenicis, how to change the new rom b12 to work with TWRP ?

Just remove recovery-resource.dat file from system/etc folder. I have 7zip installed on my PC. It is working fine.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Mihail67:
Only this ? after will be ok to flash with twrp 3.0.2 ? nothing else in zip archive ?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi, on the screen shot I saw a b12 as a complimentary update, only 100mb, and not a full rom.

Could you post or send me the link for this file? I think if it just a smaller package I could simply try flashing it on top of my existing rom, keeping all my apps and data.

Maybe it doesn't even include the stock recovery.

Could you confirm this is the case, I.e. this updated was released both as a standalone full rom and also as a smaller update from b09?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks Mate, that was helpful, however I'm not sure much has really changed.

However, did it show up automatically into your ota app, or it is only showing because you have copied the file into your SD card?

I have not received any updates yet via "system updates", and I'm wondering if this is because I have tweaked the ROM so much?

Could you confirm?

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

As I promised, here is the full list of what I have Uninstalled.

That are other potencial apps to be removed, but I normally keep the ones I not sure just frozen for now, for example ZTE contacts will be the next to be deleted, I don't need it and am using google contacts instead.

Removed from system/app:

AuthComp

HandService

LauncherResource

LiveStore_ZTE

LockScreenFramework_ZTE

ManualQHB

MIPop_ZTE (option removed from the settings app options)

MojiZteWeather

PivoTts

SogouInput_ZTE

YuloreFramework_ZTE

Removed from system/preload:

everything except Helper_ZTE

Removed from system/vendor:

Left untouched, I don't want to mess with Dolby:), it works better than B03 ROM, it stays always on

Removed from system/priv-app:

Dialer_ZTE*** lake sure to install Google dialer before that, and also to make gd the main dialer (see note at the end of this message)

DoubleLay_ZTE (option removed from the settings app options)

DriverMode

FileMgr_ZTE

HaloBaseApp

HaloSpeech

Launcher_ZTE

IswDotExp

UmeBrowser

ZTELockNow_ZTE

ZTEMarket

ZteNote

ZTEYP

huahualock_ZTE

Ztelockscreen (lock screen still works perfectly without this, like a aosp one, I'll exclude this one also from the settings menu)

Added to system/app:

com.mobint.hololaucher.hd

com.google.android.dialer_5.1.131226882-405721_minAPI23(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

Added to system/priv-app:

com.google.android.contacts

com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

de.NeonSoft.neopowermenu (xposed module)

de.robv.android.xposed.installer

com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox_6.7.15.21.arm64-300722707_minAPI21(arm64-v8a)(nodpi)

Google Contacts Sync.apk

Google Play Store.apk

Note about these added apps:

I should have done it properly, but for now it is a bit messy, some apps were converted into system apps correctly, some were simply pasted into the system folder, and some were initially "badly" converted into system by TB and/or Link2Sd (which I used for year on JB and KK but stopped working in LP, but it was updated and I had another go now, it works partially so far, but sometimes the apps simply disappear after the first reboot, some come back and some don't, weird, but I still love this app, be careful though, keep a copy of the apk folder before turning it into system app).

***Replace zte dialer by Google dialer.

I recently found the reason why this was crashing the phone app.

To make gd the default one there is a little hidden trick.

Go to settings, hit the search bottom and type "phone", click in the "phone app" shown in the search results and make gd the default one.

That is all for now

Hey guys. I cant back up my current system in TWRP as it always crashes during process. Does it have something to do with a-boot files too?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I have seen that some guys in china are trying to bring android 7.0 on the mini. SO fast to think we were on 5.1.1 a couple of months ago :D
[ZTE Axon Pro] kvaitt:
Did this work for smbdy? I installed xposed, then GravitiBox, everything worked well but when I change setting for lights, default blue light still remained when I tested changes.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes it does. Please read this thread. Your problem is described at least 48 times:)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
not all tweaks from gravitybox will work, GB is meant for aosp rom and the dev is clear about it.

I never tried to change the led colours.

GB can control whether or not the LED is on/off, for example, during charge.

[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
[MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] it showed up when I tried to check update in settings. It didn't show up on its own. Will you please do me a favor? Will you please check if Google dialer lets you setup sip account? I do Internet calling a lot but unfortunately zte is hiding/excluding this very important feature. I don't want to use any 3rd party app because native sip app is on the top for its voice quality.

Does Google dialer support dual sim? Thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
And how the phone make and recieve calls without this apk?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Not sure about SIP calling, I don't even know how to use it. In google dialer/setting/calling account, there is an option "Smart IP dial", Set IP dial, but when I click on it, nothing happens, but I read it may be because "the operator" doesn't support it, I'm on vadafoneUK, and without extra payments or buying a phone from a Vodafone shop, I think it doesn't allow us to use it.

About the dual SIM, again I'm not sure, but I really believe it can handle it. Again, in calling accounts/carrier settings, there are 2 tabs, one for each sim, so I assume it does support it (I'd be surprised if not)

Regards

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

To make and receive calls you only need to have:

-Phone (TeleService_ZTE.apk)

-Phone Call Management (Telecom_ZTE.apk)

-google dialer

-google contacts.

and possibly:

-Phone and message storage (TelephonyProvider_ZTE.apk)

-com.qualcomm.qti.telephonyservice (QtiTelephonyService.apk)

I left all these apps quite, so I can reassure you I'm making and receiving calls normally

Cheers

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Could someone confirm this?

I have not received any updates after I hit refresh. I'm trying to see if this is because:

- I removed apps like ZTE market? just a guess

-maybe I have done something else wrong?

Did anybody else get the update offered?

BTW, I downloaded and extracted it, I honestly could not see any difference, at least on the apps themselves. I thing this update is more about configuration values, properties etc.

Regards
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
There is a small difference. B09 is 1.57GB and B12 is 1.58GB. This update is mainly bug fixes. I have not flashed it yet so can't say if there is any improvement.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Swamp-Thing:
No Update available in Germany. B04 is the latest.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
You are on a completely different ROM (Lollipop). We are discussing about Marshmallow and its update.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Swamp-Thing:
Yeah, I know. But demenicis was asking if someone gets the update offer on his phone. No matter if it´s K, L, M or something else. When the update is available in your country it will appear on the phone.

Or....?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks but I think the m ROM we are using is a "secret" (or trial) rom, so if you don't have it you won't get updates.

Also, if you have b2016, the rom M doesn't even exist so it is going to be impossible to get an update unless it is an official international release, which we are all waiting for for ages to come, if it ever does.

Thanks for responding, it seems noone else got this update offered.

As I mentioned before, I turned my nandroid backup into a flashable zip (I tried to flash but got a bootloop:)), nevertheless, I placed the zip file on the SD card, and because of that the system update app picks it and shows it as an "available" update. So I thought [MENTION=407441]simrim1[/MENTION] had done the same.

What intrigues me is that on his screenshot it Shows 100mb, how?
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Exactly. If there is any flashable zip on sdcard it will show on update screen. But I don't know Why the update is not showing on anyone else's phone.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
So you placed the zip in your SD card? Or it showed up after you refreshed it?

What country are you in?

Is your system language en-us or you have used a "locale app" to change it?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
If you go back to post# 718 you will see that flashable zip sdcard is showing separately but update for B12 is showing on the top and there is a download button next to it. Its size is about 108MB. I am on 3UK network and language is default English(US). I never used morelocale on my phone. Thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:

[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
ok, but it is still not clear where the 108mb file came from. did you download it? the 108mb only and not the full ROM?

If we could get this smaller file only, I'm sure we could flash it without damaging the current rom at all.

[ZTE Axon Pro] Yannis100:
I used UltraCompare to spot any difference between B09 and B12 archive, you can probably delete everything that was not changed between the 2 versions and get a much smaller zip this way.

Compare result attached, you may notice some apps are missing in B12 cause I deleted them as you suggested some post before.

Edit : Ok I finally have a 400MB zip file which mainly contains _ZTE apps, tried to flash it but then it doesn't boot anymore (used aboot)

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I have uninstalled it anyway, but I remember that there was an option to freeze the wallpaper if you didn't want it to change all the time. maybe you turned it on?

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
The installation caused a bootloop to begin with, so after many tries I restored my backup back to b09

I believe the modem we flashed before does not work on this rom, this is just my theory.

Regards
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Hm, that's bad news.

What about installing B04?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Yannis100:
I'm on B12 and it's working perfectly

I wiped system in TWRP and then flashed full B12 rom (without recovery.dat and modem files)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I think I must have made a mistake then, because I had only removed the recovery.dat, how stupid am I? But....I don't remember needing to do that after [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] published the b2016 modem to flash once the ROM was installed.

It caused the phone not booting at all, then the modem didn't want to work even after I restored my backup.

I really struggled yesterday and had to flash a brand new B09, then restore my back up on top of it.

Did you lose any apps or data during the process?

Also, the search function isn't working on this forum today, so could you tell me what "modem" files you exactly removed from the original rom?

Thanks

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi , could someone please help [MENTION=7816277]Light248[/MENTION]

I have already given him all files I had and said the below on my PM:

"All I remember is that you need:

-kingoroot (PC), one of the files I gave you. don't through them away, one of them works, for sure.

-adb-root.apk (to install on your phone. did you do this?)

-your phone driver correctly installed on your pc

-possible, nearly for sure, usb-debug turned ON.

then you try to run one of the kingoroot I gave you."

However I've done that months ago. Did I forget to tell him anything?

Light248, are you good at literally follow instructions? Did you try what I said, in the correct order?

Install the adb_root on you phone and turn it on!

Turn USB debug ON.

Install phone drivers on PC.

Install kingo PC and hit ROOT.

Thats how I did, if I remember well, it wasn't very easy to get it rooted. Keep trying.

Good luck
[ZTE Axon Pro] Light248:
adb_root installed, tried with kingoroot and... failed :(
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
did you try with the root button turned on and off?

please try also different version of the kingo PC, try downloading the latest one maybe

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Light248:
I downloaded the lastest, and dont work

edit: kingroot maybe work??? or other program??
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
No I tried ring and it didn't work.

I'm pretty sure kingo 3.2 was the one, but being the lates doesn't mean it will work. You may have to download older ones too, just download a bunch of them, but try to exhaust the ones I gave you mate, they worked for me on Lollipop, for sure
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
I have the same problem with my memory:)

really don't remember how I did it, but at the end I had rooted phone.

[MENTION=7816277]Light248[/MENTION]

One thing you have to do is restart phone and after that connect it to PC.

Then you must allow some message about fingerprint (really don't remember what was that). After that root was at one click.
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
can anybody tell me where is the vibrator because my phone stopped vibrating and i need to replace it
[ZTE Axon Pro] Yannis100:
Modem : NON-HLOS and splash

Recovery : all the recovery folder, any copy of 'install-recovery.sh'/'recovery-from-boot.p' files and system/etc/recovery-resource.dat

Note that the downloaded archive contains a folder and the update.zip is in it, you have to extract it, then modify it and flash this update.zip (can be renamed)

0 app/data lost, root lost, but supersu zip shared by Bormental still works

What I did (I was on B09) :

flash aboot5.1

reboot recovery

backup data just in case

wipe system, cache and dalvik

flash full B12 rom zip modified to delete recovery and modem

(optional) flash modem (http://xdaforums.com/zte-axon/devel...ustom-roms-t3289640/post68974674#post68974674 thanks Bormental)

(optional) flash supersu (http://xdaforums.com/zte-axon/devel...ustom-roms-t3289640/post68825640#post68825640 thanks Bormental)

flash aboot6

reboot and enjoy

Care if you want exposed framework, looks like last arm64 version doesn't work, I went to bootloop after flashing it, had to wipe system and flash again (no data lost).

This is ADB authorization

Framaroot, iRoot, Kingoroot, OneClickRoot if I remember well these didn't work for me.

The only way I managed to root was with an APK for other Axon phones that leaded me to a root shell with adb then I pushed the SU binaries.

Thank you.

I was going to say I have tried for the second time and it was a proper disaster. I couldn't get it to work and it really damaged something for a while. After restoring system and data, my phone was rebooting straight after the sim pin screen, until It got unusable. I took the whole day to get it working again from a very old backup. The newest ones simply didn't work.

I was going to suggest people Not to try b12.

However, I feel like having another go now and should follow your instructions precisely.

Hi Guys, I´´ve got one simple question.

Which would be the best way to unroot the phone (including stock recovery)?

I´m still on B04 with TWRP installed.

Will a simple reset in the phone settings bring back the stock recovery?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
Make wipes of data, system. Flash official b04 again. Reboot. During the first boot stock recovery should be installed. If not than go to twrp and install your stock-recovery.img which you made in /sdcard folder when installed twrp.
