Thanks, I ll wait then.

Sorry, one more thing, do you use xposed? If so please send me the llink for the correct version, I don't just want to keep trying cos every time I flash something SuperSU goes funny.

Cheers

Phone must be rooted. Replace the original bootanimation.zip (located system/media with this one) Be sure that the permissions remain the same on the file, i think it is rw -r -r
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks mate.

You see, copied and pasted this file into the system/media, kept the permissions the same as the original, fine, it worked.

Reboot.

Supersu thinks I don't have root, binaries missing.

Reboot recovery, reflash it. Now the system thinks superSU doesn't exist.

Uninstall superSU, reboot.

Play store, download again, install binaries again....reboot. all ok.

What a pain. It seems if I touch the system files I temporarily loose root.

Anyway thanks for the file. But the very first zte logo still in Chinese, can't we change this too?

Cheers

Hi

Hi marus , i have the same problem, try yo install from the zte market contact sync, and then gmail, and try to bsync the contacts that justo work for me.

Original Lollipop kernel

Hey!

I wrote an e-mail to ZTE and they have given me the original Lollipop kernel for the B2016...

Download it on opensource.ztedevice.com (I'll try to upload it here as well)

Anybody working on CM for the B2016? I'd like to try, but don't know if I'll be able to make it happen. Also have MIUI on the list...
[ZTE Axon Pro] nospherwtf:
Is anyone have original B03? Could you please upload it somewhere?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Bormental already has it. I even tested it. It is great, but no fingerprint so I gave up.

Cheers

Sorry I wasn't clear. The boot animation is what you gave me, but before that there is the boot logo which is still Chinese

I know for a fact that changing the boot logo isn't as easy as the animation.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I do have the B03, downloaded from the zte website before it was replaced by the b04.

But I'm having trouble with internet connection on my pc after this windows anniversary update (total crap) Once fixed I could post for you.

I suppose you want to root and install twrp, isn't it?

Otherwise just install ROM M which is miles better.

Cheers

Hi Bormental,

I have just dug through the web and read that in some ROM or brands, the bootlogo could be embedded into the aboot file.

Is this the case for our axon mini? if so, does it mean it would be impossible to change the bootloader image?

Thank you in advance.

[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Hello boys.

I'm back at B09. Issue with contact sync solved at very easy way. I think, this misunderstanding is because google play services (and other apps) aren't part of system.

So what I discover?

You have to enable every app to start after reboot in auto-run manager. It is located in Mi-Assistant/Auto-run manager. So it basically means:

Google play services, google contact sync, Calendar.

Of course all of this apps have to be installed. - google installer form here works great, calendar from google play.

After that you have to manually give them permissions. So go to Apps/Google contact sync/Permissions and enable contact. Similar in calendar.

After that I have synced contacts and calendar.
[ZTE Axon Pro] mov1980:

thanks for that modem zip, now i have zteB2016 FTV1.0.0B04 clean in my phone, working in chile very fast whit the full signal. Thanks for you information.

Hi. The logo is in splash.bin. Restore it frin your TWRP backup or place your splash.bin the sdcard and do the terminal command with root:

[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Would someone like to share the steps to install M ROM?

[MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] are you happy with M ROM? Is it better than B03? Thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi, I have no words to describe how MUCH better the ROM M is. JUST DO IT.

Personally, I have download the B09 (which I just realised was a mistake because it doesn't have force touch) and extracted it, as bormental adviced, USING WINRAR (winzip doesn't work!!!), and removed the recovery from it.

I'm now uploading everything you need into my MEGA cloud account and will post shortly.

so far my feedback is:

GOOD

- the M rom is AMAZING;

- Battery life is even better. Obviously due to the fact NO apps are allowed to run when the phone screen is off (which can be annoying.....but continue to read below)

- Dolby stays on for ever, differently from before where every single time I plugged the headphones I had to turn it on manually;

- OS is totally smooth, in all aspects;

- Xposed works fine, I just realised I was missing the actual apk (stupid me), and many gravity box tweaks work just fine (be careful though as I had bootlooped my previous lollipop, but I learnt how to disable it via adb, so not much trouble in trying

- not much bloatwares, but as we are rooted I have already removed ALL the Chinese app anyway.

- Generally, moving to ROM M is a no-brainer.

BAD

- not sure I got is right, but superSU works well (no delay like before), but very often it vanishes or thinks the phone isn't rooted. I had to uninstall the app and reflash it many times. However, we can never loose root anyway as long as twrp is there.

- A bit of annoyance about our lollipop twrp, you have to re-flash aboot 5.1, reboot into recovery then flash what you want, then flash the aboot 6 again BOFORE booting. I can live with it.

- There is, however a quite a big and annoying issue, which I think is a Marshmallow related one. The cleaning memory default policies are absolutely, ridiculously strict, and I didn't yet manage to keep a couple of very important apps alive all the time. it kills everything, always, no matter the settings I do in power management or MI-assistant. I think, copying these apps to system/app and installing from there may solve this, but I'm still trying.

- USB debug and accessibility privileges keep turning themselves off, and this can be annoying, but again I think this is a google android choice and I'm still learning how to deal with it.

All in all, it is far better, by far.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
All steps are described here. To be honest, they are not in one place, so it might be confusing...I can write some guide, which lead me to M Rom...Later :D

But, I have one detail to be solved.

After using morelocale 2 to personalize my instalation, in-built email app turned to chinese. Every other app is in my home language, or english, but only email is chinese.

Is here someone, who can help me? English would be sufficent.

1) make sure SuperSU is tuned on in auto-run manager. It solved vanishing root for me.

2) Every stupid thing need to be allowed. I have no problem with notification, as solution was similar to the one of the first problem in this topic. Memory manager always said he kill some apps from memory and unless you tap not to see him again, he will popup in every new killed app. You can give apps the protection, so they are not killed. It can foud it at MI-assistant/tap on the BIG wheel with percentage of health of your phone/first menu is protected aps. If app is protected, it would not be shot out.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Bormental, you are a GENIUS, I wish I understood a bit more about android, I simply do not have time to learn.

It works like a treat, now every part of the boot is in English. thank you.

I found the splash bin inside the firmware-update folder.

Cheers

Here is the link:

https://mega.nz/#F!eRMFzLiS!CcNsikqwfNLPVNvbxJxqyA

THIS IS FOR THE ROM M, 6.0.1 B09 (without force touch, sorry, but to be honest I never used it anyway!)

Just to be clear, I HAVE NOT MADE OR CREATED ANY OF THESE FILES. the only thing I did was to remove the recovery from the original ZTE stock ROM, which was downloaded from the ZTE official website as an open source file.

you will find the following files:

A-aboot_5.1.1 (from lollipop)

B-aboot_6.0.1 (from Marshmallow)

apk01-Google_installer[1] (thanks to google and crisvetta for finding the file)

apk02-XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4[1] (thanks to the amazing creators of xposed framework)

01-update (BIG thanks for ZTE!!!) this file is the stock but without the recovery

02-modem_B2016_M[1] (massive thanks to [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] for figuring a way to make the b2015 work on the b2016 model)

03-SuperSU_V2.62-3[1] (thanks to the amazing creators of super SU)

04-xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64[1] (thanks to the amazing creators of xposed framework)

PRE-REQUIREMENTS

- ROOT AND TWRP RECOVERY ALREADY INSTALLED ON YOU PHONE.

NOTE: to date, root is only possible to be obtained on the lollipop ROM. so if you have lollipop you MUST root & install the twrp your phone before doing anything else.

INSTRUCTIONS (assuming you are in lollipop 5.1.1)

1- Boot into recovery

2-wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache

3-reboot into recovery again

4-flash files 01, 02,03, 04(optional), on this order then flash file B (file B-aboot 6.0.1 is super important or you phone won't boot)

5-reboot your system, it may take a while for the first time.

6-install apk01 (google things)

7-install apk02 (optional)

to conclude (optional) you can also load both the splash.bin (thanks to Bormental for the instructions)

Via terminal, I did directly from the phone)

su

dd if=/sdcard/splash.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash)

and the bootanimation (thanks to [MENTION=7192840]Crisvendetta[/MENTION] for posting)

"Phone must be rooted. Replace the original bootanimation.zip (located system/media with this one) Be sure that the permissions remain the same on the file, i think it is rw -r -r" (IT IS CORRECT!!!)

if you want.

I hope it all works, but let me know if anything went wrong.

Cheers

[MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] Thanks for all the stuff. By the which version of M you have uploaded? Is it B08, B09 or B11. Is this force touch version? Thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I just edited my previous post to say just that.

it is the Non-force touch (sorry....I got confused, but I still cannot see how useful the force touch actually is really)

it is the B09, I didn't even know that the b11 existed.

is the b11 force touch?

I could easily try to extract it, remove the recovery again, and flash. I bet all my apps would still be untouched, but this is just a bet.

In the past, after messing up with my phone I had to re-install the stock rom and all my apps were preserved.

Bormental was very clear we can install ANY b2015 ROM on our phone, but you have to flash the correct modem.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
I don't know myself if B11 exist. I read some posts in this forum mentioning B11. I am not very much interested in force touch. Would you like to share which file(s) need to be deleted from update.zip related to stock recovery? Thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:

recovery-resource.dat, located in system/etc,

"https://yadi.sk/d/yE6ZSzerwBNNJ

Modem image for B2016 6.0.1 ROMs ported from B2015.

Should be Installed with TWRP just after installing the ROM.

It is possible to install any 6.0.1 B2015 ROMs with flashing this modem after the ROM.

To avoid resetting to stock recovery and keeping TWRP alive I recommend to delete the file /system/etc/recovery-resource.dat from update.zip before flashing the official ROM. "

it is already said in this thread on page 59

cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
This thread has gotten so good. Being the OP I want to thank everyone that is contributing, my contribution has been limited. Without this community we would probably be stuck with the B04 Rom, without TWRP and root for 6.0.1 . Special thanks of course, go to [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] for the immense contribution.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks, hitting the big button seems to have done the trick. itis what I needed to show exactly what was being blocked. all working so far.

Everything you said seems to be working, thanks.

I even updated superSU now from play store and hope it will stick.

Just a question: what is "more locale" an app?

Mate, to be honest I do not like the stock email app (I had replaced it by aquamail on ROM b03)

I also don't like the stock "contacts/phone" which is the only thing that still has traces of Chinese under the contacts, and half of my existing contacts arent recognised and still show numbers instead of names on the call log. However I don't thing we can fix this. Can we [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION]?

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Morelocale 2 is an app from google play, that convert english language of system to your language. It supports various number of languages and can translate aprox 60% of menus.

I personaly think B04 2016 was translated using this app and string were integrated as system language :)

It reqiure root, but it is not problem so far.

BTW stock email is crap, surelly will try your sugestion. I even cannot foud an menu to change integrated signature. And it was easilly changeable on my old ZTE V5. The same is for SMS rejecting calls. They simply cannot be changed. Idiocy of ZTE company.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes. I agreed, but the sms isn't as bad as the phone/contacts.

I just received two phone calls just now, from unknown numbers. I answered the calls, spoke to them etc.

When I tried to call them back.......THEIR NUMBERS SIMPLY WEREN'T RECORDED IN THE CALL LOG. I FREAKING LOST BOTH NUMBERS, they vanished......

Never mind. The ROM is too good. I can take it. I'll try another dialer app if I can.

And the last crap I found is using maps and having to bear the Google lady talking I'm American english......oh goodness.....so annoying. My Google tts is in UK English, my input is set to Uk too. Not for the hell I'll be able to change this. I had another lenovo phone that was the same. Even the Google settings in the web are to Uk, but maps only outputs USA.

Let's keep trying.

[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:

Try Truephone dialer&contact. It's not the best dialer, many stock are much better, but these one is much better than stock ZTE dialer.

LED notification

I'm interested in changing led notifications form some events. As in stock version doesn't even exist menu for LED setting, can it be tweaked by xposed?

I'm not familiar with it, so I don't know, if it is possible...
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes, just use gravity box module.

You need to install the file 04 (I posted in the link with this file in in) and the apk02.

then open the apk you just inastalled, go to module and find the Gravitybox(MM).

there, near the bottom of the list you can find the "ultimate notification control" and where you set these tweaks on the "per-app" basis.

MAPS speaking in UK English ----SOLVED

I just managed to make my google lady speak in UK English in MAPS, using a little app called "Locale & Language Settings". It asked for root permissions, did the trick and now I can uninstall it.

It makes my system language be "English (United Kingdom)" whilst before it was only "English".

This tricked the MAPS to speak the language I wanted.

However, I wouldn't use these types of apps to change the system language for anything other than English, because I don't want to change the texts anyway, and have a badly/half translated phone, if even possible.

I'm delighted that this worked for me as I had to live for over 2 year, on my old phone, navigating listening to American English, and did a huge google research to conclude that we simply cannot actually have additional languages other the ones the come in the ROM, android is not windows.

My final and MASSIVE issue is with the call log.

calls from numbers that aren't contacts NOT being stored in the call log. this IS an issue, at the end of the day, the minimum thing a smart phone must be is to able to be a phone!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
I haven't experienced similar issue, I have normal call log include missed calls from unknown numbers. Even that, I use true phone dialer, its much better than stock.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I cleared the data of my "contacts storage" app, rebooted and it seems to be working.

However I have lost all my call log. I had initially restored these logs and all my sms from "nandroid manager", but it isn't the first time it messed up things.....anyway, lets see from here.

I also tried to update supers from playstore, again, and the phone got confused. I re-flashed it, and now I will try NOT to update it, ever.

Hi guys, I use ZenUi Dialer@Contact from Asus ! About root, every time after restart, I dont have root, Bormental, you can make your marshmallow rom pre-rooted ?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I was on zenUI contacts too, it is quite good! I had even installed it as a system app, but sorry, google phone is miles better.

About SuperSU, try NOT to update it from play store.

Go back to recovery, re-flash it and reboot, if supers says you are not rooted, just reboot again.

Once it works, DO NOT UPDATE.

Also in power manager AND in MI assistant, make sure you give super SU all the rights to autostart.

to complete go to app manager, click in superSU and turn on its permissions too.

Mine stays stable as long as I don't update it in the play store.

I'm now trying to find a way to stop playstore to ask me to update it, but this isn't very easy and I'm not sure I'll achive what I want.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Mihail67:
Ok, thanks for your answer, but when I want to download your apk with my browser, apk is emty, 0, and I dont have mega account ! about root, after reflash, super su dont show in my aplication, my old aplication with root acces working, but the new one no, I think to reflash again this marshmallow rom, I dont give up, beacause is too good and very different !
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Try this:

Uninstall superSU, reboot recovery, reflash it.

It should work.

No point in reflashing the rom, you will get the same problem.

Remember the M ROM isn't supposed to be rooted, what bormental gave us is a bonus.

I'll check the link again for the Google phone. You don't need the mega account to download it.

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Not sure why it is not working for you but for everyone else, but try this.

make sure super su works first (try re-flashing it), I think it may help, but this is just a guess.

then re-run the google installer.

if it goes ok, go to google play/settings straight away and turn "auto-update" OFF. you do NOT want to update superSU

keep watching google installer, and give the permissions to install as it goes along

Hey, you just didn't read carefully this topic. Now your phone is in bootloop and now you need to folow this instructions.

Turn of your phone using this trick.

Go to recovery.

Follow Bormental directions in this post.

After that, you should have a clean ROM without gaps.

But, you can't flash gapps from twrp - they won't work. Just download google installer from here and normally install as an app.

Make sure to autostart all necessary gaps as described here.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

It won't work for me. App is copied to system/app, but it nowhere appear so I can't test it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
[MENTION=4277033]Dabbele[/MENTION], A little addition to above message. If you don't have twrp installed but system boots normally then install twrp and read the previous message.

If you don't have twrp and system doesn't boot then goto official zte service center because phone is fully bricked.

Reminder for all users: DO NOT ROLL BACK TO STOCK RECOVERY IF YOU HAVE TWRP AND ANDROID 6.0.1! It is dangerous!
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
[MENTION=4277033]Dabbele[/MENTION]

Not sure I laugh or cry.

Lack of reading was a big mistake. Hopefully you can install the stock lollipop rom and start from the very beginning.......poor you.

If you manage to install android M directly from the stock zip then forget root.

We mentioned soooo many times that before flashing zips using this twrp you need to flash the aboot5 first.

It amazes me that after such a difficult process you had twrp.....and now you've ruined it.

I truly wish you you luck.

Cheers

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Strange. I'm using it.

Did you have version 4 already? Was it working? If so you have to delete once you place version 5 in the same location.

Just in case, check you don't have 2 phone icons (one for the zte phone and the other for the Google one) in you app drawer (I use holo launcher!) It might be there.

If not, All I can suggest is for you to delete the app file, reboot and try again. Paste the file (CHECK THE PERMISSIONS, same as for the boot animations rwrr) and reboot. Your phone should show the "updating apps" message briefly before it loads the pin pad screen.

Cheers
