[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Pavlord:
difference between the zuk models?

Im a bit confused with all the Zuk z2 models (zuk z2, zuk z2 pro, zuk z2 plus), so if anyone could tell me if they can run on the same roms i would be very thankfull.

P.S. i also found ˝zuk z2 tubro¨ listed on rootupdate site (sorry i cant include link, im forbiden posting outside links beacuse im a noob)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Hitmax117:
Zuk z2 is the same as Lenovo z2 plus or zuk z2 plus. Zuk z2 pro is a different device.

So the zuk z2/z2 plus can run the same roms

I installed the MoKee ... excellent ROM and very stable!

Does Mokee support U-Touch and finger-press
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] mikarbach:
I have compared LOS-14.1 version 6 and Mokee nightly from 19.01. Both ROMS are very similar, actually I have tried first LOS-14.1 and have set up all my apps and afterwards I have dirty-flashed (wipe cache/dalvik/system) Mokee and gapps-mini. Everything works pretty well, and I have made also an incremetal OTA-update from Mokee-Center-App, which works pretty well and only downloaded 17MB. My impression is, that Mokee works slightly better, despite also LOS-14.1 can be used as a daily driver. Both ROMs are stable. For example, substratum is already installed in Mokee.

Concerning U-touch, I do not know what in ZUI can be set up, but the default-actions for the home-button's are working well, i.e. swipe left, right, down, touch ...

I still had gapps, I've noticed a few 100% to 2-3% of 9h and my average projection was cemented at 8h 45m from July up until I started messing with the phone again... Now I rather regret it, but I had to ditch Google.

Just YouTube, browsing, WhatsApp, music and reading; no auto start up and keep awake bloatware. Besides the weather service that is :D

Hello Dev ! i forgot to add that "compared to other ROMs".. thats my bad.. but please note I also appreciated that Jaguar ROM still the snappiest among all.. its crazy fast and feels like made for Z2 plus :)

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

For stability and fast processing, I still recommend Jaguar first.. AEX 4.6 is second.. but both can be tried to check your needs..

Jaguar vs aex which is best for daily driver
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] poled:
I've tried a lot of roms, I've been using AEX for a long time, but for me the smoothest rom is ViperOS... is the only one with really smooth scrolling on Twitter app for example

Do you know of another rom with really smooth scroll on Twitter? I'm talking only about smoothness, not sot, features etc...

My requirements are not fast processing. Mian requirement is Stable, Good battery life and less heating. I have heard/read that Jajuar heats up a lot?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] eteles:
I was using AEX 4.4 July build + Jaguar kernel September build + updated camera blobs as recommend here in this topic. The setup was fast and stable (except for one or two random reboots I had when browsing), but phone was always a little warm. Yesterday I've decided to update to latest AEX 4.6 + latest jaguar kernel.

Made data backup on twrp, then wiped cache, dalvik, data and system, flashed new ROM and gapps, restored data backup, flashed latest jaguar and magisk... Done.

Heating issue is better now on AEX 4.6 and performance seems to be the same or better... Will probably stay on 4.6...

If I have any problems with 4.6, then I will test jaguar ROM.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Abhay143:
I have read many threads about the custom ROM for z2 plus...

But still m bit confuse about which could be the best one, the most stable one for our devices...

I dont care about if the updates are not available anymore but the ROM must be bug free, having good performance and a decent battery life and the features of the phone are working well like U-touch and VoLTE...

If its not on the latest android version than also its ok but the rom should have smooth UI...

So which ROM is preferable???
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] PrashantBK:
AEX 4.4 24th July or Citrus CAF TANGERINE by Miju is really stable. I've tried all nougat ROMs but I always come back to these. AEX 4.4 is my daily driver right now. Looking forward to flashing the final build of ViperOS as people have said it's stable, as well. I'll drop a review later. So, yeah, try these 3 ROMs and see what suits your needs. Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

AEX 4.4 fits perfectly in that department. Scrolling is very smooth, be it Facebook or Twitter.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] TanajiKC:
AEX 5.0 is gonna lead... Its the best ROM.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] poled:
And why to use aex 4.4 since viperos is more updated? (though both discotinued...)

Anyway, there ar a lot of roms, but none except those (not sure about 4.4 aex) are really smooth
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] PrashantBK:
Like I mentioned, I haven't flashed ViperOS yet because I'm quite used to AEX 4.4 right now. I'm not recommending AEX 4.4 over ViperOS. Judging by what the users say, ViperOS is pretty stable and I think it depends on what your requirements are. So, it doesn't really matter what ROM from the suggested ones you use.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] owim:
Let's take that into consideration. If you're using it:

- What important things are yet to be fixed?

- Every new ver. can be dirty flashed or requires clean install? Clean install + Titanuim backup might time too much time, each time.

- What are the main advantages?

Since the suggestions on above two points are very different, I am in confusion here.

[MENTION=8408687]ashiskar[/MENTION] - Do I need to put a Jio sim and enable dat and then flash ROM? I do not have a Jio sim now and plan to take in future.

[MENTION=8552806]Kiranbhand1[/MENTION] [MENTION=8408687]ashiskar[/MENTION] - What about ext4. You two suggested differently. By default what is the file system format? And how to change to ext4 and is it really needed?

Final question which nobody answered - Do I need to do anything for Camera Blobs?

[MENTION=6259197]dibt359[/MENTION] - any idea on camera blobs?

Also, one silly question maybe - Can I just download Magisk 4.13 and install or is a specific version for z2 plus needed?

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

cool in terms of features and performance or literally cool? I am looking for some ROM with least possible heating issue.

One more question - As of now I am not installing any custom kernel but if I do decide to try Jaguar kernel how can I come back to stock kernel if I want to? Plz give details on this
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Kiranbhand1:
Dude just follow normal flashing procedure.

No need to consider these points. Just do the Normal flashing install twrp flash rom gapps, for rooting flash magisk or supersu.

And no need to flash camera blobs they are inbuilt in each ROM nowadays.

Don't confuse yourself.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Ok. Magisk and Super SU ... any significant difference?

And the last question in previous post - If I try custom kernel, how to come back to stock kernel if I want to?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Kiranbhand1:
Well you don't, just flash whole ROM again.

Magisk has its own advantages, it gives room permissions and safetynet, meaning- you can use your bank apps safely, also you can install some cool modules like dolby atmos.

SuperSu just gives root permissions
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Camera blobs needs to be flashed separately if I install AEX 4.4 on stock kernel? Can you plz explain the significance of camera blobs and installation process?

Which audio mod? Are these mods Magisk modules which can be installed anytime or needs to be installed at the time of flashing ROM?

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Thanks. Just see my previous post where I have quoted a post from adil where he suggested to flash camera blobs with AEX 4.4. That's why the confusion. I am planning to try AEX 4.4 first
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] adil786ali63:
Aex 4.4 does not has the new camera blobs.. Significance of it is to get better camera quality... If u are flashing 4.4 ... Flash camera blobs after flashing the rom via recovery.. That's it... Enjoy... And u can try heliox kernel instead of jaguar for more better results
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Thanks. Can you point me the correct download link or xda thread for camera blobs?

And I am planning to stick to stock kernel for now. Will see how it performs. I can flash custom kernel later any point of time right?

Also, adil - do you have any suggestion / idea about my question for Volte / Jio in posts above.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Kiranbhand1:
For the last time. You will have a VoLTE in future when you buy a jio sim. Please listen before just spamming out. You have got answers to each your questions.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Ok. I am on AEX 4.6 now. Will test as primary device for 1-2 weeks and review.

Couple of first impressions:

1) I usually don't use auto brightness and in manual brightness the brightness levels are too high on this rom even at very low levels.

2) Vodafone 4G - Signal fluctuations and comparatively low signal than in stock rom and other phones.

When I tap to check safetynet in Magisk, it gives an option to download Google's proprietary safety net API code. Should I install it?

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

Is there a setting to change color temperature in AEX? Colors are highly saturated and not tolerable.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Heating is more and battery life is poorer than stock 2.5.104 on AEX 4.6

Speaker audio output is louder
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Too much battery drainage on aex 4.6 compared to stock ROM. Probably due to baseband issue and network fluctuation

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ----------

Had to manually change color saturation using kernel auditor
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] ashiskar:
Just flash the ROM file dirty..the stock kernel ll be back..

sim card has nothing to do with VOTLE stuff.. u can put Jio sim anytime...

AEX 5.0 is an all rounder..

Thanks
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
This is the first aosp based ROM I ever used and noted a difference in split screen functionality compared to lineage on my moto g 1st gen. In lineage it allows to adjust the height of the split windows. For example YouTube on the top half need not take half of the screen and the size can be reduced to the actual video aspect ratio size, leaving more space for the other app. In aex I was not able to do so.

Got 3 random reboots with 4.4 July 24 + jaguar kernel September build in one week... Heating happens too, but it's normal for this phone. Offline charge did not work... Phone would charge offline for a few seconds than it would turn on automatically. Aex 4.6 + latest jaguar kernel was better, but still offline charging would behave the same.

Now testing latest jaguar ROM and everything works... Only downside is that it's still on 7.1.1 version, but doesn't make much difference.

edit: another upside for jaguar is 130K antutu score! On AEX, the best score I got was 121K.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] kingmounik45:

How is the battery life and heating on Jaguar ROM?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] eteles:
It was fine... But now I'm back to AEX 4.6.

On jaguar ROM I faced instability issues with Firefox. Happened two times on tow days. Firefox force closed than I couldn't open it anymore. It would automatically close again. After this error I would not be able to open a lot of apps unless I rebooted.

Now I'm back to AEX 4.6, but with heliox kernel instead of jaguar. Performance is better than with jaguar kernel. First antutu test scored 128K with heliox kernel, versus 121K with jaguar kernel on it's best score...

I'm definitely keeping AEX 4.6 + Heliox kernel.

I am trying crDroid now after 1 week on AEX 4.6 + Heliox. I faced overheating and not so great battery life on AEX 4.6. Also, there are a few bugs like screen flickering (see my post towards the end of AEX official thread), offline charging, Audio leak / dual audio issue when battery drops to 15% or 5%
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
My initial impression after trying couple of ROMs - almost all the ROMs are half baked / incomplete work and abandoned by devs who moved to Oreo or just stopped support. I don't understand this. My 4 year old Moto G 1st gen still gets nightlys and weeklys of official lineage OS and other ROMs and works almost like stock ROM without any defects. Why instead of making the existing ROMs better and fixing the bugs are the devs abandoning them? There is a list of issues / improvements I have observed which should be fixed / implemented in ROMs like AEX, crDroid etc. Sad :(
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] n'wah:
Just curious, what bugs did you find with crDroid? Lags at times for me, but I've encountered very few bugs.

BTW, I have a bunch of ROM reviews for people new to the Z2 here https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/rom-reviews-guide-newbies-guide-to-t3701803, might be of interest to you :)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] eteles:
Don't face overheating on aex... Just regular warmth for this model... Battery is nice... I almost never let my phone discharge under 20%, so, no audio leak or dual audio issue... Don't face screen flickering... Only real bug to me is offline charge, but I can live with it while someone fixes it.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Screen flickering is difficult to notice but is there and it is a launcher 3 / lawn chair issue. Noone is fixing any bugs from here on. That is my point

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

I checked your thread yesterday. Very useful.

crDroid bugs:

1) after offline charging phone doesn't boots up and you have to use the bard reset key combination to make it boot and it boots with inverted screen. You have to again restart.

2) Audio levels although configured to be higher than aex 4.6 are actually lower than aex and similar to stock zui.

3) missing double tap on home screen to sleep feature

4) I personally didn't get any more battery life than aex

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

Audio bug is serious. I was in office listening to music on earphones and battery dropped to 15%. After the warning sound of battery level, audio was coming out of both headset and speaker and someone had to tell me to turn it off before I realized it.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

I have no issue with minor bugs. That is natural but devs abandoning support and moving to new ROMs is frustrating. Same as Lenovo does. Isn't it?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] n'wah:
Lol yeah i remember the offline charging bug. Scared me pretty good :laugh:

Personally I wouldn't classify 2-4 as bugs (2 maybe). And while I only have anecdotal evidence, I think it's worth going through a 4-5 charge cycles before assessing the battery life off a ROM, my SOT always rises after a few charge cycles.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Agree. Have you noticed this on crDroid as well: I am on 2nd cycle. Both times the battery usage from 100-50% was very good and I thought it will give above 7 hrs sot but from 50-0 % the battery drain is much faster for some reason.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] n'wah:
To be honest, I have (unfortunately) noticed that on almost every ROM, not just crDroid.

Also, if you're using Accubattery, I'd like if you could confirm/deny another observation of mine: the battery drain in terms of charge (mAh) does not correspond to the battery drain in terms of percentage. While charging from 0-100, the battery does take ~3500 mAh of charge. But while discharging from 100-0, the app shows only ~2900-3200 mAh being used. It's possible that the app is reporting inaccurate figures, but I've observed this with every ROM out there.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
I will check but I think that is correct. While purchasing a power bank sometime ago I did some research and understood that actual battery output we get is approx 80% of battery capacity. There is a formula for it. So, if you use a 10000 mAh powerbank, you actually get around 8000 mAh on full charge.

However, I am really jealous of the SOT Redmi Note 4 gives with just 500 mah extra. People get almost 12 hrs SOT. Both processors are 14 nm finfet. Little bit more battery life and little less heating and z2 plus is the perfect phone. Have you tried underclocking the CPU?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] n'wah:
That's the confusing part for me... Because Accubattery actually measures the capacity of my battery at 3500 mAh (if your battery is worn out, it won't charge to it's designed capacity, and mine does). It's just that while discharging it doesn't use the full amount of charge.

Yeah, Redmi Note 4 has crazy sot, all the SD625 phones do iirc. I was actually going to buy it instead of the Z2, but I despise screen sizes above 5".

I haven't tried underlocking the CPU to increase battery life... i just realized I don't really use my phone that much. And I don't use Gapps, so that as a nice hour and a half to my SOT.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] eteles:
I don't notice screen flickering at all... Maybe it's because I don't use launcher 3/lawn chair... I have Nova launcher prime. And I usually don't use brightness at maximum... So, no noticeable screen flickering...

If somebody is interested in android MM (6) then my recommendation is this rom:

https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/z2plus-2-3-042-multilanguage-v15-20161122.831/

Everything works flawless, i didnt find even one bug. Format everything except PERSIST partition. System, data, cache/dalvik cache is enough, you can also wipe internal memory, i did that also.

I wanted stock, stable rom, this is mix of latest andrroid MM Indian and China but it is based on latest China MM rom.

Nougat has some bugs, which i find annoying and user experience is same in MM or nougat by my opinion.
