Unfortunately my knowledge is very limited.

I don't kboe how to deal with hardware specific driver to make a rom from a phone work in another.

Im more like a curious person who only knows a few tweaks over an already existing working rom.

Id love to learn though, and I bet I'll in the future, but for now I dont think I can help you other than testing if you get any further with it.

Cheers

I fear you would end up in a trap.

Twrp will flash a stock M rom fine.

After that you will have a stock recovery which I dont know if it is the same as the stock recovery that comes with the L stock rom or not.

If, for example, you flash the stock as is (including the wrong modem for the b2015 phones) that is it. You will never be able to flash the modem separately with the stock recovery.

If you remember to swap the modem it means the rom now has a modified. .zip which is unsigned so you only have one chance to flash it from the twrp.

After that you may have a workable system, with the stock recovery. Then you will never be able to root the phone again. And therefore goodbye twrp in the future.

The last try I think of, but is super risky, would be:

-using the twrp, flash the stock M rom with the correct modem;

-this will install the rom and the stock recovery;

-then.....BEFORE..... rebooting......you may be able to continue using the twrp for flashing superSU. If it works then you may boot into your rooted new rom and would probability be able to install twrp again if needed.

However if it doesn't work you are screwed and will have to wait for a rootable way to come that works directly from the M rom

Help please I have restored the original B04 leaving Twrp and root but I have a problem with the alarm/clock it force closes and won't open.

Can anyone help or give me a hint on how to solve the problem?

I have a problem, only in this device (B2015) with any rom.

I can't send videos with Instagram, I select a video, press next on effect screen (no effect added) and in the next screen Instagram stop working.

Tried several times. Already clean data and cache and clean cache an Dalvik from TWRP. Also try after a full clean installation.

I think this problem exist in others â€œChineseâ€ ROMs.

Please, can you confirm if anyone have this problem?

Any workaround?

Best regards,

You know I don't use Lollipop anymore, but a possible cause that very often happens after a system restore could be your system DATE&TIME. set It up correctly and see if the clock app works fine.

if it was happening in the M rom I'd say the alarm app had one or few permissions turned off (go to settings/apps/clock or alarm and check just in case)

Finally if none of the above fixed it, and you already tried to clear data and cache and it is still not working, I'd extract the app from the rom file, and paste them overriding the original apk in the system, just in case your app is corrupted somehow.

cheers

Hello, I have a little problem.

So I have twrp, b12m, supersu and xposed but I don't know If I have root becouse my supersu sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work. I don't know why. I have applications that need root and they work well but now I can't open supersu becouse is written, I don't have root. Root checker says the same. Sometimes when I turn off and on the phone, supersu work well and I have root. I don't know what's going on. Can someone help me?

Thanks!

I think I figured out the steps to unlock bootloader and have working M ROM on our device.

They are as follows.

1. Flash original L ROM. It will give us stock recovery.

2. Flash original M ROM. Network wouldn't work because of wrong modem files. Fair enough.

3. Enable developer options and unlock bootloader.

4. With unlocked bootloader flash custom recovery through fastboot.

5. Flash correct modem and roop zips.

If for some reason bootloader doesn't unlock we can flash L ROM again and follow the current working procedure to get back to M.

Does it make sense? Thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 2.78 and your root should remain stable.

Sometimes, for some reason, after some apps do root operations like deleting system files, editing build.prop etc, it happens the root is lost in the next reboot. Don't worry, just flash SuperSU again. But using the 2.78 has proven to be far better. I don't remember the last time what you described happened to me, but it happened many times.

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

Hummmm. It makes sense but I'm not sure point 4 would work. If fastboot doesnt work (we know it didn't in rom L) and you aren't rooted then you wont be able to install twrp.

Last thing I'm not sure is if the stock recovery that comes with M rom is the same as the one that comes with L rom and if it will let you re_flash L rom again. It may be work but no one tested it yet. I'd try to confirm which recovery comes with the stock M rom before doing this.
[ZTE Axon Pro] eisdrachen:
Yeah, we can build another ROM based on 6.0.1 sources from demenicis ROM. That should be no problem. But it is easy said. I am working on it at the moment and I started from the beginning as a newbie - I tried very much until now. Bormental got a working CM12.1, you can extract e.g. the build.prop and everything else. We can get MIUI7 as a port with ease I think, but lets focus on 6.0.1 and following to support this nice device in the near future.

I bought a new PC because of that. It will arrive in a few days from now (will build it on my own, so it will take some time, too). My surface pro 3 is too slow on Ubuntu installed on a micro sd. It takes years to compile, even just switching blobs etc. from one ROM to another is hard on it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Guys, I can't deny it would be really good to have CM13 built for this phone. I can see straight way many benefits which would allow us to customize, far more easily, things that can only be done on aosp/CM roms.

Examples would be:

- adding keyboard arrows to the nav bar. I miss this SO much

-add items to the power menu

-allow ANY music app to add their lockscreen control

etc.

I have tried [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION]'s CM21 on this phone, and it felt really fluid and fast and I only gave up due to the lack of fingerprint.

However I must say that when I installed the zte M ROM B09/12/13 it felt just as good, really fast and smooth.

I know that, for us, CM rom would be better (if finger print, dolby, force touch and cameras drivers could be correctly implemented), but for most users I suppose the only important thing that is missing are the

international languages.

without these other languages, I bet many people are simply not trying to update their phones as this can be an issue for them.

I have mentioned before, both the zte settings.apk and the framework.apk DO HAVE all languages in them, so I wonder if it wouldn't be more useful for the community to find ways to make the ROMs for the B2015

international. I researched for a while but I couldn't get this to work or what needs tweaking for this to happen.

Does any of you know what is needed and how to simply tell our phones "look, your apps speak all languages, so why isn't there, nativelly, other language options available other then english and chinese?"

this would be so useful.

(but i don't want to stop you guys progressing on CM anyway, I'll be the first to try if I can)

When bootloader is unlocked then obviously it will let us flash files with fastboot command in fastboot mode. What else unlocked bootloader means?

I have read in this forum that some people installed M ROM and it didn't work (Network issues) so they went back to Lollipop. So option for going back to Lollipop will still be there. The only thing to consider is that phone must boot after installing original M ROM. Right?
[ZTE Axon Pro] eisdrachen:
I would like to know why you are so fastboot-based?

We've got no unlocked bootloader, so there will be just fastboot reboot and thats it. The device is recognized by fastboot (in my term), but you cannot flash system-things actually. It is not that bad, but I hope that we will get an unlocked bootloader option soon.

Those who had networking-issues did not replaced the right modem file. You can just download demenicis 6.0.1 package. Flash the recovery like it is described in the manual, flash aboot5.1 to flash your system correctly and after that flash aboot6. I do not see the problem here. I am located in germany, everything working fine on this device with demenicis ROM. And there is an app to translate the system. Mine is working correctly in german, but setup and the base are english. Try MoreLocale2 from Playstore. I am very satisfied with that.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
No, that is not what I said.

"When bootloader is unlocked then obviously it will let us flash files with fastboot command in fastboot mode. "

fastboot never seemed to have worked on this phone, rebooting in fastboot from adb just reboots back to system

when twrp came out, we managed to install it because we already had root.

without root, even with the "bootloader unlock" in dev options, twrp could not be installed.

"I have read in this forum that some people installed M ROM and it didn't work (Network issues) so they went back to Lollipop. So option for going back to Lollipop will still be there. "

yes that is true, simply because all these people had root and twrp installed, and they all removed the recovery from the rom to keep twrp and therefore you can install whatever you want.

"The only thing to consider is that phone must boot after installing original M ROM. Right?"

Yes, if you root and install twrp, then flash the stock M ROM, I think (but I hope I'm wrong) you will have one chance. you will loose root, and you will loose the twrp too.

If you are brave enough to try this, please tell me 2 things:

1) how does the stock recovery look like? is it the same that comes on lillipop or it is an updated one?

2)tell me if you managed to install twrp again, and that means we can have root after all.

HI all, I just noticed on the B13 that the bloody dolby doing the same thing as on the B04, turning off as soon as plug the headphones in and press play.

Could you check it also happens on B12? I don't remember.

but just to be clear:

- headphones unplugged,

-go to settings/sounds, scroll down and note dolby should be turned ON;

-plug the headphones, dolbly will remain ON;

-open music player, dolby still on;

-hit play.....dolby is fu........ing OFF.

can you confirm?

_____________________________

Edit: I have just confirmed what I suspected:

- dolby stays on on B12 even after the headphone is plugged in;

- an idiot from zte changed it back so dolby turns itself OFF when headphone is plugged in. Well done STUPID ZTE.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Cristian67:
The same for me in B13 with dolby, proximity sensor don't working, back to B12

Proximity sensor, yes, I check, working good, but with headphone not

Another problem for me, after a while, supersu no appears in meniu, I can not give root privileges for new applications, for old applications it's ok, I have, but....
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Strange, my proxy sensor works better on B13 than it did on B12.

But thanks for the feedback, I'm still trying to see what causes this change on the dolby behaviour, I bet it must be a single silly 0 or 1 in a hidden file that drives it.

I have compared the "vendor" system folder and it has hundreds of files, including the 2 dolby apps and libraries, and all these folders and files are absolutely identical (file name ans size!) in both B12 and B13.

So the settings that control this behavior must be somewhere else in the ROM.

CHeers

EDIT: I just checked with my work colleague that his ROM is still the B09 and Dolby stays ON.

Yesterday I Flashed B12 but it still turned off as soon as I plugged the headphone and hit play.

I'd love to get more confirmations from people using B12 as I'm concerned I may have messed or changed something on both B12/B13 by mistake. I did not find a way yet to get Dolby to behave the way I want, and I'm not sure I will.
[ZTE Axon Pro] nospherwtf:
I'm on your b12_clean6

dolby turns off when hit play with phones. Maybe you edit build.prop?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
No I have not changed the build prop other than the last line (to allow "users".

On the clean 07 I also edited one value from false to true to allow the force touch. That is all.

I think the only rom so far that keeps doubt on is the b09

Thanks mate for the confirmation.

[ZTE Axon Pro] Yannis100:
No problem with dolby for me on B12 but I don't use your version
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks. That is interesting.

Yesterday I flashed the unmodified b13 and the issue with Dolby turning off after hitting play while on headphone is the same.

Let me just be clear, Dolby works fine, but I have to turn it on manually while it is playing music with headphones, Then it stays on. Is this what you understood?

I'm suspecting this has something to do with data, not system.

B03/04/12/13 all behaved like this, except for b09.

Not sure what is different. Do you have xposed installed?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I think the changes have been made on /system/etc/ . There is a mixer.xml file which has most of the instructions.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
that was a very close call mate, however I have just extracted the stock B09 from my friend's phone, which I triple checked Dolby doesn't turn off.

The files from B13 and B09 are absolutely identical. name, size AND content, I spent nearly 40 minutes now comparing line by line in all the ~10 mizer files + media_profiles and other. I recon I could copy and paste the files from the B09 in to the B13 and all would work and normal.

What I'm going to do next is to flash every single bloatware back to see if one of them is needed just for keeping dolby on all the time. Similar thing happened when I lost the screen shot, do you remember?

Lets see.

Thanks a lot

Hi, just so you know, I did not and basically gave up trying to check what is causing dolby to turn off when headphone is plugged in. It seems to either be a bug or zte or dolby want it to be like this.

on similar threads here

https://www.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/4zckyg/dolby_atmos_help/?st=iwv410ei&sh=f9e92c0a

and here

https://community.zteusa.com/thread/12193

and in another website I can't find right now.

The description of the problem is exactly the same, so I assume we cannot change, unless going back to B09.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated as I have spent hours on that and decided to try to automate the dolby switch with a 3rd party automation app instead.

[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Lol, so it seems, that only B09 has a bug of no turning Dolby off:)

I have a problem with b13 rom . Flash the rom, I install the apps and restart the phone, optimizes the apps and when it finishes entering the loop and doesnt stop restarting. It has already happened to me three times and the only solution is to do a factory reset and leave the rom virgin.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi, while I was investigating the dolby thing, I have flashed the b13-clean01 twice this weekend.

I did both ways:

1) flashing on top of existing rom, wiping cache only

2) wiping system and cache and then flashing the rom.

I noticed that flashing supersu 2.78 directly gave me a bootloop.

I did exactly this:

- flash aboot5, reboot recovery again

-wipe/advanced/ system and cache

-flash rom, flash supersu 2.62, reboot.

first boot takes a long time, and I think it only "update" the system apps,

then I flashed xposed, and now all user apps updated, which took about 20 minutes.

I have not lost anything, any data.

It seems you can wipe the system at any time, and flash any rom b09/12/13 without loosing data on the phone.

then I finally flashed supersu2.78, and play store updated to 2.79 now. phone is perfect on b13

I hope it helps

B09 is the only that does NOT have the "bug" (if we can call it a bug)

Dolby still works well on all of the roms, it just turns off first time you play a song on headphones.

Hi, yes I'm sorry for that but I did a bit of research and it seems encryption is simply not available somehow.

I'll let you know if I find some ways to enable it, I'm not totally sure it isn't possible at all or if zte simply hid this option like they did with "users" and "multi-window"

I have a problem with twrp. I'm going to make a backup of the system, start the process, frozen the process and the phone suddenly goes out.

So I cant do a backup, I select the internal storage or sd and it happens the same.

What is the problem??
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
You are forgetting the aboot5

Please search in this thread about it and you will find you answer responded at least a dozen of times.

This twrp works perfectly.

Flash aboot5, reboot recovery AGAIN, do your backup, flash aboot6 (if you are on ROM M) before rebooting system.

[ZTE Axon Pro] xardasrs:
Hi,

with the b04 Version I used encryption successfully. I read somewhere that with 'M' the internal storage is full encrypted automatically, but I can't approve it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Well maybe that explains what happens then.

But how can we check the phone is or not encrypted?

When I turn on accessibility for a couple of apps I have, then I go to security options there is a message (under pin, password or pattern) saying that the system won't use the lock screen to "enhance" encryption unless I turn accessibility off.

I have not got a clue what this means.

Then I go and turn accessibility off and the message disappears, but does it means the phone is encrypted by default? Maybe.

The performance of the b04 is totally horrible, slow and crap, and the encryption could be the reason why this happened.

Any M ROM is simply twice as fast and smooth compared to the L roms (b03,b04) so maybe it is simply turned off.

But please forgive my ignorance, all I said above relative to encryption is pure speculation.

I have posted a ROM just for the b2015 phones (link is a few pages back, on this thread) but if you can't find it, I can send you the link again.

Alternatively I can easily make a flashable modem for you, so you don't need to re-flash the ROM. Actually, I'll do it anyway soon because this would make the ROM more universal.

then flash the modem for the B2015 (from here https://mega.nz/#!qFEACSwB!WWwBHnSGn0U32KKC7UoRnq9Pa1R9jGnjlL3ytfJNgUs)

Now reboot your system, it should work. then you can go back to recovery and flash supersu2.78 if you want.

Hi, it is a bit confusing for me to understand what happened really.

your phone will be bricked depending on the order you installed some files.

I have recommended to all of you that if you ever managed to install twpr, DO NOT try to install the stock recovery.

NEVER do this in this order:

- flash aboot6 then stock recovery = brick

- flash Mrom then stock recovery = brick

the correct order if you installed Mrom but it doesn't work is:

a)flash aboot5, b) reboot recovery, c) try flashing another Mrom, d) flash aboot6, e)reboot system.

you can skip step d) if you used my B12-clean 06/07 or B13-clean-01.

Please explain what you installed and where you are in a clearer way.
