do one one know how can i add that gallry in my z2 plus???
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] n'wah:
I didn't know about Aptoide, learnt something new today. Interestingly, F-droid itself is a fork of Aptoide.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
Whether or not F-droid was a fork of Aptoide (which I doubt) is irrelevant. What is relevant is that unlike Aptoide, all Fdroid apps are open source and contain no pre-installed binaries, which means no Google infection. The 'no binaries' requirement is so strict that the only way to publish on F-droid is to remove contamination, which happened many times.

https://f-droid.org/about/ "The original F-Droid client app was based on the Aptoide app developed by Roberto Jacinto."
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] n'wah:
Of course, you are correct. I was just making an observation. BTW the f-droid wikipedia article and this https://f-droid.org/about/ page does suggest it was forked from Aptoide (see the last paragraph).

There are good alternatives but there are also very bad and ugly alternatives. Now the sot depends on each user, I even used a rom that gave me 6 hours of sot with stock gapps installed.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] n'wah:
You are correct, not every app has a direct alternative replicating all the features. Google Maps in particular is 100x better than apps like OsmAnd or Maps.Me (atleast in my country). I feel MicroG is a fair compromise between No Gapps and Gapps. That way you can at least use the Play Store with your account (or better yet, the Yalp Store- which doesn't even require a Google account!), so you can still use the Google apps you can't live without, while preventing Google from monitoring your complete phone usage. Many apps like Google Maps don't even require you signing in. Of course, Google can still track you via your IP address- the only way around that is a VPN. Mind you, some apps like Google Assistant don't quite work yet.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] buldzip:
Is correct. Ai goes of the preference of each one, I tried to use some apps of the F-droid and I found very bad. I still use gapps without worrying, like I said I do not care about these nonsense, I owe nothing to anyone but respect the opinions.

Hey can u give quivk overview of this rom im on aex 4.6 right now and planning to flash this rom

Is there any bug??

Hows the battery backup of stock kernel???

Hows the smoothness of rom??

Pls help me :)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] The.Night.King:
No bug, but dev & we will be greatful if you find one.

Some say battery backup is bad, for me its 4:30hr from 80%-20%, which is very good I believe considering the level of performance & responsiveness Jaguar delivers, btw I never fully charge or discharge.

I believe there's no better performing a kernel for z2.

You've a lot of customization on this field, enjoy tweaking with k.a. to your preferences.

Smoothness is epic, no ROM is here that provides such smoothness to z2.

You do realize that you can go into Google settings and turn everything off right ? And Purge all existing data ?

Also , you should stop using an Android then , because it's source comes from Google

Also , Google as a company is taking responsibility of what you are getting from the playstore , so that's also something you will have to give up
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] The.Night.King:
Anything ever happened to you, whose responsibility they've taken up? If something of such order happens, they'll deny their part of responsibility. You'll see sometimes that apps are found with malware & spyware in play store & they take immediate action to remove it. What about those people whose data got stolen or who became a victim, does Google fund them or get them back their stolen data?

Google is built to steal, changing settings in account manger will not save you from that, because if all people does so, Google's source of income will become null.

You keep your mentality of google being created by the God of your religion, so its trustworthy, I keep to myself what I believe.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] buldzip:
Brother no use they think that F-droid is the best and super secure and the "generic" apps that do the same functions of the gapps are great. They think they're not being watched just because they do not use gapps, only Google is bad, kkkk. Let them think whatever they want.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] MtBlackstar:
Let's get back into ROM discussions

Everyone has their own views and one shouldn't try to impose his / here views on others .

Everyone has freedom to choose their own views at least for now .
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] shivi98:
Google play services or the core of gapps has system rights or root that means whatever you try to do with it's permission either it'll not work at all or it'll be not effected at all.

Android was not made my Google. It was later purchased by Google. Plus Android is open source but google is not. So anyone can trust Android but not Google.

Google as a company takes responsibility for every thing oh stop that they now after so long decided to remove Accessibility featured apps + all those apps which have draw over other apps permission already granted.

Even if we take your opinion in account it means if we don't use gapps or playstore that means we are compromising our security but If we are smart enough to remove gapps then we fairly know which apps to install and which app is malicious.

Have a great day.

I am facing the screen flickering issue again. I am on r17 and using the original stock charger, I haven't messed with kernel or any other rom settings in any way.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] The.Night.King:
Try toggling the "disable hw overlays" switch in developer options & see if it helps.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
Make sure you are really on r17 (check in Settings/About phone). There is absolutely zero flickering on r16 and 17. There was flickering on r15 only, but not not any more. Also, check that Disable hardware overlays in Developer settings is on. If it is not on, which is default, you are not on r17.

Yes, it is on and the issue got resolved automatically. I don't know why this happened, it has happened for the first time in 5 days, since my last install. Might be because of some issue during flashing of rom. Thanks a lot for response. Will report if it happens again.

Anyone tried fuking with the interactive governor tuneables? If so, care to discuss settings/results? I gave a cursory read to that 5x thread by sonicron/others and played with the settings a little using voltage tables to find the most efficient frequencies and biasing accordingly with target_loads, among other things. I'll open up a thread in general so as not to derail this one. If one exists already then I'll just tiptoe backwards slowly. Also, if anyone is interested I can share my kernel adiutor profile and the thinking (or lack thereof) behind the changes I've made, which so far have worked pretty well for me, given my usage patterns (goal=performance>battery-inefficiencies). Do bear in mind that I am an idiot, and this is an experiment. Off I go
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] doveman:
I just want to make sure I know exactly what I need to do before I go ahead with this.

1. Flash the Indian_Firmware_2.5.099_170414.zip in TWRP

2. Reboot to TWRP and flash Chinese_Firmware_3.1.117_Minus_Baseband_and_DSPl.zip (or do I have to unlock bootloader and erase modems after flashing Indian firmware and again after flashing Chinese firmware?)

3. reboot to bootloader and run

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img

fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go

4. reboot to bootloader and run

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

5. reboot to TWRP and wipe everything (is this just standard wipe which wipes data, cache and dalvik, or advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, system, data, internal? [usb-otg is there as well but I don't use that/have anything connected so obviously wiping that is redundant])

6. flash Jaguar (flash release 11 (no gapps/magisk); boot and run for 2 minutes; then flash r17 dirty, then Gapps and reboot. After booting flash Magisk or Supersu)

I'm not sure what you mean by "flash Jaguar data". If I've done all the above then surely there won't be any data to flash? Or is this just for people who've already installed Jaguar and are just updating the firmware later after backing up their data?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
You don't need to flash Indian firmware at all. And also, this Chinese firmware is NOT a pre-requisite for flashing Jaguar. I posted it, because it has some security patches in bootloader. But if you want to update bootloader, flash this. This also answers your question about unlocking after flashing Indian firmware (no need), but you do need to unlock bootloader after flashing the latest Chinese firmware.

Also, I don't understand "flash Jaguar data". This is not a part of flashing instructions for recent releases and even when it was, it only applied to those who had previously backed Jaguar data. You are coming from another rom, so, not applicable to you...

Edit: in case you were asking about "flash Jaguar dirty", as opposed to "flash Jaguar data", then you do need to flash r17 on top of r11 dirty, which means: no wiping anything...

I asked about "flash Jaguar data" as it says this in your post I quoted. I kinda guessed you put that there for people who were already using Jaguar and backed up their data before updating the firmware but just wanted to make sure I understood before proceeding but you've cleared that up thanks.

I need to flash the Indian firmware as I currently don't have the encryption option (which I consider essential) and it makes sense to flash the Chinese firmware as well to get the security updates before I flash Jaguar. I think I understand what I need to do now but could you confirm exactly what I need to do at the wipe step. So at the step where I "reboot to TWRP , wipe everything, flash Jaguar" (v11), do I just do the standard wipe which only wipes data, cache and dalvik, or do I need to do the Advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, system, data and internal?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] The.Night.King:
Advanced wipe but don't wipe internal. Then normal Jaguar flashing procedure.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
I always do wiping in advanced options. You don't need to wipe internal, unless you are encrypted, in which case firmware update won't finish, as you need factory reset to wipe encryption key. You also don't need to flash Indian, as encryption works with Chinese firmware (I thought otherwise, when I was working on encryption fix).
