1.I do not know what Doze is.

2.No differences was found in new ROM....Maybe my problem...

I have sent you the link by message.
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
ok can you tell me from where you found or got the Rom?
[ZTE Axon Pro] 15131331231:
It was released by ZTE official,and opened for a limited group of people.i would like send it to you if you want to flash it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
That's good information. Maybe these people are testing this ROM and in a few weeks will be official update...

By the way, you have very good English, no apologies necessary:)
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
guys why we cant have like this case for zte axon mini it would be awsome for it
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Just a quick feedback here. I have now factory reset my phone twice, and restored it from the custom recovery nandroid backup absolutely fine.

I have also wiped data and system restoring it fine too. So basically this is a confirmation that the recovery works........I tried to learn how to save my system as a flashable zip file. I made the zip but no success flashing it. So I'm delaying posting it til I make sure it works.

I have uninstalled chrome, the play games/music ****, and all the other apps we can simply download from the play store so the system is now under 1.6 GB against the 3gb stock installation. As a result the phone noe boots up in about 20-30seconds only.

I hope I manage to make the zip file work soon.
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
maybe later but i want to ask you if zte b2015 screenpanel(LCD)fits the zte b2016
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Probably
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
how can i know???
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Gents.

Anybody interested to know how I made my b2016 run like butter (well, nearly as I'd like to)? I'm just curious to know how many of you actually have this phone. I found a flashable file that gets rid of the Linux journalling on ext partitions. In short this means android runs pretty much faster bypassing this useless routine (I think is useful for server computers only).

I did a nandroid backup (obviously) and was quite squeptical about it. It turns out the phone doesn't just feel a lot faster, it is. and the antutu benchmark gave me over 38000, more than the stock ROM would get. Then I pumped my governor to 8 core, ondemand (no battery drain so far). Then I got over 40000. Well numbers don't matter. What matters is that everthing is actually faster, including the painfully launcher scrolling. Even Google chrome scrolls ok, and play store, and everything else. Now I finally have a phone. And to be honest, I'll leave it this way.. . no upgrades ever again. Still on b03 for ever now.......unless I find an aosp rom, then I'll install and flash this file again.

Whoever wants it please shout and I can post the files . You will need the custom twrp recovery installed.

Please see the attached pictures

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Here you go

https://www.dropbox.com/s/v72wcrw77oparza/jubei_test_script_remove_journal.zip?dl=0

Not sure the link for a zip file from my Dropbox would work.....but please let me know so I can try again if it didn't

Do not wipe anything after you flash, just reboot.

Please use your phone as usual. You WILL notice the difference, and please also post what you think about this.

I didn't believe in fairy tale....but now I do.

Later, if you want, id also recommend turning on all the CPU cores, but changing the big cores to ondemand. I do it via script just after boot.

BTW I also use kernel auditor to change the CPU to ondemand, but not for hell I had managed to keep all cores on with it. Only via script....or changing the system file manually which is a pain.

My script is this

I meant to say I use kernel auditor to check all cores are actually on.

The biggest difference you may notice is in chrome, which is really bad on this but now it seems I'm using another app really.
[ZTE Axon Pro] rebe^:
thanks [MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] for your efforts to make the phone more fluid (which is needed!). I plan on applying your scripts.

A more general question: can I easily revert back to stock recovery, if for some reason I would need to send the phone back for warranty repair or similar?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes. I have done this before even without having the twrp recovery. Crazy isnt it?

Before twrp for this phone existed , I had tried some other recoveries for other phones.....didn't work.......so I re-flashed the stock one back.

All you need is root and king root replaced by super su.

Then you can use -flashfire to flash your recovery back.....but use it to backup your recovery first, or you can use partition backup app to back it up too.....many options.....

Your phone would still boot up without or with a broken recovery........

Issues again.

Hey guys, it's me again.

Yesterday pokemon go came out, and I downloaded it.

I own a Zte axon mini (B2016) and when I open the app my phone freezes and reboots. One time that I could get inside, my phone rebooted when I captured a pokemon. When I click AR, the camera is white and it seems the sensors are not working also. I don't know what could be the problem. Can someone help me? Thank you. You can download the app and see if you have the same problem.

Thank you guys

PS: my phone is rooted but I haven't changed anything.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Could you try freezing the game and check the phone works ok including the camera? Reboot after freezing and then you test.

I remember one time when my camera stopped working with similar problems. I wiped dalvik cache (and the phone takes ages to start the first time after wiping DC) but then it was all sorted.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Aitex10:
I'll try and tell you some. Thank you. I'll wipe cache.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Aitex10:
It does not work. I did a factory reset and it does not work yet. :(
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
hi from where did you bought the phone?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Make sure you wipe the "dalvik cache", not simply the "cache".

If this is what you meant , did you phone take ages to boot, "optimising 1 of 147(???) Apps"? If not then you did not wipe the correct cache.

Well if you tried it correctly and it still doesn't work, I suppose then I see no alternative other than installing the ROM again.

After wiping everything, cache and dalvik cache, and reinstalling the stock rom if it still doesnt work....then either send the phone back (or bin it).

I hope it works for you.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Forgot to say, you could test your sensors and camera via EM (engineering mode). I access it via gravitybox but I guess you dont have xposed installed yet.

I think there are other ways/apps the let you access it to.

By the way. Is the camera the only thing that isn't working? Can you make calls etc?

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Aitex10:
Everything is working well but pokemon go game is not. I did all what you said but the game is still rebooting my phone every time I open. Could you please try if it happens to you? Nobody but me is reporting this issue online so I supose I'm the only one that has this problem, and I think this may be some incompatibility with the phone. Please tell me something,

Cheers

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
This game is not available for me here in the Uk. I also read something, by total coincidence, that the devs are holding this game in some countries due to the fact their servers could not cope with the huge demand.

Basically they are fixing the issue and the game is not on the play store.

I cannot test it until then.

As a precaution, id make sure this game did not grant itself any mysterious super user privileges, check in your super user app. No games should require root

I'm just saying that so your phone might reboot but at least it will never modify your system files.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Aitex10:
Thank you so much for your help. The fact is that forgot to say that my friends here in Spain can play, and I can't.

Btw, you can download the game via apkmirror. Just search for pokemon go apk and you'll have the game.

Cheers, you are being so helpful!!

Custom Rom axon mini b2016 team

Hello guys!

It seems we have advanced a lot since the start of this thread, we have a root for the b2016 and custom recovery. These were the first steps to start working for a custom rom.

I am currently using the axon mini as my other phone went dead from being droped in a pool.

I now appreciate again the awesome sound quality of this device, kinda missed it.

I am asking all the guys that want to work on a custom Rom to make a skype group and each one of us to contribute as he can . thanks to demenics for the latest changes.

What I think can be achieved is.

1. Make the device faster overall

2. Less lag and more screen responsiveness

3. Smaller rom, faster boot up times

4. Changes on the kernel

5. Remove unnecessary utilities and maybe add new ones.

Whoever wants it participate is welcomed .

My skype name: Crisvendettaz
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I'd love an aosp rom built for it. But I'm no developer and this, at least today, seems an impossible mission to me.

I really wish we had a guy called "infrared" who built from scratch the 4.4 KitKat ROM for my old lenovo a820. I stayed with this little phone for over 3years, and still today, the handling of the screen, scroll etc is far better than the axon mini (without the flashable remove journal script).

What sounds more achievable, at least to me, and something I actually already tried, is to clean up the rom like I did, then create a flashable system.zip.

I only tried it once and failed, but I'm sure it isn't too difficult.

I have deleted, not just uninstalled, several craps from the system and have added Google keyboard into the system to replace that virus like stock one (forgot what it was called), and after you have mentioned I just measured the boot time on my phone, which I had noticed was far quicker than the stock. From power off until the sim card password screen 1min and 4 seconds.

Not bad but it could still be quicker. I have not measure the stock boot time but it felt something like "5 minutes".

Yes have no issue with Skype, my user is ldemenicis if you feel like contacting me. (I'm a bit fed up thiugh after MS ditched Skype form my purposely bought Samsung tv which rendered my £85 Samsung webcam useless)

By the way, from over 3gb, my rom today is exactly 1.8gb. and the phone is perfectly working. It seems like a miracle that it works after soooo much tweaks?

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Sounds great, can you share the rom with us, and does it have the journaling dissabled? Thanks a lot for the contribution till now has been really big
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
HI,

As I said, I struggled to find a way to merge the two nadroid system files produced by twrp.

system.ext4.win000 and system.ext4.win001.

when I finally managed, it did not work somehow.

I need to try again.

But there is one fundamental thing is that the remove journal script applies to ALL the ext partitions, not only for the system.

So I suppose even if I manage to produce a flash able system.zip file, I think we should flash the script too anyway.

Cheers

How can i do the root??

How can we exchange the files if so?

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
How smooth is the ROM? I'd miss a lot the fingerprint though. Would I easilybe able to revert the phone back to my last saved twrp nandroid backup if needed?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
Smooth enough. There is only way to check it is flashing.

Make full nandroid backup in TWRP and you can easily restore it in any time.

Fingerprint will never work in this ROM. Maybe only in CM13, but I'm not sure it will come.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Have you read the beginning (not sure but about pages 7-8, again I'm not sure) of this forum?

You need kingo root desktop app. Ill also need king root super user installed on the phone.

Ill need specific versions of these two.

It is all in the forum mate. It is not the easiest root to obtain but it works.

Cheers

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Well I'll try. I just feel sorry to get rid, even if temporarily, of my tweaked stock rom. My phone is just so smooth. And I can tell you in advance a cannot live without the fingerprint anymore, it is one of the best features of this phone and actually works like a treat.

But I appreciate your effort anyway.

Cheers.

Does anyone know how to boot into recovery during a bootloop and without adb?

I cannot find a key combination for that, and all I get is for the phone to reboot normally (and therefore back to the bootloop) after 10 seconds pressing the power button.

I tried all combinations I could think of and it seems it is not possible.

Please anyone could help!

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Solved. As I have thought no way to do it. Hi impossible.

Left battery run out than nandroid restore

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

Guys. I have now been wondering if my governor has actually done anything to make my phone smooth.

To me these are the tricks:

Set all four cores to work.

Now open you build prop. Click editit. Not here to teach how to edit this file. If you do not know howto do it do not try and stay in the cave era forever...... sorry.

Now..... magic...,paste the following whole lot at the end

#manually added

#Helps scrolling responsiveness

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=420

#Faster Scrolling

ro.max.fling_velocity=20000

ro.min.fling_velocity=8000

ro.min_pointer_dur=8

#windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true

#lockscreen.rot_override=true

#log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE

#launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

ro.build.display.id=ZTE B2016 FTV1.0.0B03

#disable scrolling cache

persist.sys.scrollingcache=3

#not sure this actually works

logcat.live=disable

#keep launcher in memory

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 1

#not sure this one actually works

persist.splitwindow.support_all=true

#Multi Users (tested)

fw.max_users=5

fw.show_multiuserui=1

#trying to improve panorama resolution

ro.media.panorama.defres=3264×1840 ro.media.panorama.frameres=1280×720

I think the scroll bit is the think.

As a bonus I got "users" available in settings

Bye

Just tell me how fast your phone feels
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Just formated my phone, will try and confirm .

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Can you please upload your build.prop as mine got corrupted , thank you
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
here you go (note I'm on B03, and my phone is the B2016, just to be sure)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/38kv3f6xdh1swaa/build.prop?dl=0

could you also tell me how I could "inject"/push a build.prop file into /system (with the correct permissions) during a bootloop, with adb from the PC.?

Last time I tweaked it wrongly, I could not replace my faulty build.prop by this one, and as result I ended up restoring the whole system from an older nandroid backup.

I think it would be just easier if I could simply restore this single file rather than the whole system, obviously.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
You may boot into twrp by command "reboot recovery" and use adb there.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I have tried that.

In fact our twrp even has a file explorer where I copied the build.prop from my sd card into /system.....

but somehow after rebooting again into recovery the file was not there anymore.

Once I managed to find the file correctly there in /system, but the bootloop was not resolved.

would you mind telling what exactly I have to type in adb to simply copy my build.prop from the root of the sdcard into /system?

Thank you. I'll try again to flash your ROM tonight and will let you know how it went.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
I think you forgot to mount system partition in twrp.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I think so too. I must have missed something for sure.

Btw, your rom is great and smooth out of the box. The classic navbar keyboard arrows is a dream I could not get gravity box to work properly in the stock one (it only showsthe left arrow).

I liked the settings a lot, the fact if is by nature rooted, and how naturally fast it is already (although my stock rom is even smoother after some tweaks as I said before)....boots in 20 seconds on the clock, but I had obviously had no apps on it. The email app is by far better (I already gave up the zte one, although it works, but not as well as yours)

I found one or two weird things that I'll post in the PM to let you know.

I did not managed to download the correct gapps so I couldn't try out chrome or even Google play yet.

I need to test more, but I even tried to manually install the fingerprint app in the system, which obviously failed.

Thanks for the good work
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
The only problem remaining for me is faster touchscreen responsiveness. When I compare to my iphone or galaxy s6 it is really slow and each action seems to lag behind a little bit, not feeling real-time. I did try you build.prop changes but cannot feel much of a difference. What I would suggest is finding a way of getting this sorted and changing the really heavy ui. After that the phone would be perfect for me.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Strange my phone really feels real time. Ill make a video for you.
[ZTE Axon Pro] ImSoBored:
Maybe try disabling 'Magnification gestures' from Settings>Accesibility?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Also. I forgot to ask. Have you flashed the "remove journal" file I mentioned? This is the important thing. I really believei started to have a proper phone after that. The build.prop and other tweaks are just to improve it even further.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Yes, thanks for the journal script, I have applied it. The touchscreen is not bad, just slower than my other phones, even my old S4. If you activate the touchscreen marker on developer settings you will notice the slighty bigger touch delay
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
My "show touch" option is marked. But honestly there isn't a delay. The delay I used to have was only scrolling, which was a bit laggy and broken.

In dev options what I have on mine are all 3 animation turned off. This also makes the phone feel faster.

Basically I tweaked every where I could to get a bit here and a bit there, Holo launcher, new browser (still have chrome though but don't use it too much) new contact/phone, new gallery(quick pic) etc. All these make the phone feel perfectly normal and fast to a point I do not think I need a new rom.

I have tested bormental rom and it is fast and fluid out of the box, but we need to test more.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Yes you may be right, this is the fastest the phone can go with the mi favor 3.5 ui. I will see if I can fit th mifavor 4 on the axon mini, or polish bromental cm version
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
didnt Zte said they are going to make update for zte axon mini,and yes we need custom rom for the phone,btw the phone is awsome needs some tweaks to become perfect

Cheers :good::good:
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
My fear abiut updates from zte is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to root it. Every update comes with newer security patches......and honestly I do not live without being rooted considering how much crap comes with the stock rom (but being fair it isn't near as bad as a Samsung rom).

I prefer my tweaked old rom than a non-rooted and not as fast marshmallow one. I hope I'm wrong.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
It is not a problem when using custom recovery. You can install SuperSU in any ROM.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Well I know that, but this means it would not be beneficial at all to wait for zte to release android M for this phone then.

I'm dying to permanently use your ROM, but the fingerprint issue is letting me down. Why do you say it is "never going to work" on your custom CM?

is this a kernel issue? is it actually impossible or it is just too difficult to implement?

Don't you have future plans to try to make it work? it would be amazing.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
CM12.1 as all other AOSP-like ROMs with android 5.1.1 or less does not have native API for fingerprint scanner. Native android's support of fp scanner appears only in 6.0. And even in this case it is very hard to add fp scanner for non-nexus devices because of the drivers difference.
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Hi Bormental.

I read on 4pda, you have some flashable zip to turn off high sound warning.

Can you upload that zip somewhere else? Original link on 4pda seems to be dead.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Why don't you install xposed and gravitybox. A bit overkill just for that, but you'll be able to do far more than just that. E.g. increase volume steps, etc.

Cheers
