I know that now all eyes are pointing to Oreo has always been such a new distribution and it has abandoned old distribution even if incomplete. Well, I find this really good smooth smooth and stable distribution, unique is the gps that does not work well on all the distributions here. I tried to make corrections suggested, cleaning the modems 1/2 but no results obtained. If anyone knows how to solve the problem, I would be happy to continue to use this building thanks.

A great custom rom, in the latest updates has a conflict with substratum at the time of editing and finishes adjustment when wanting to add a fingerprint. :(
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lazasanchez1:
For me the fingerprint works great, just you have to establish one method to unlock; pin,pattern and then you can configure the fingerprints, if you don't do that before it give you error

It's a great rom, actually the best rom i have tried, it has only one slightly bug, and that is the usb thetering

Sorry for the bad english, hopefully everybody understand
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] vollknorke1337:
Hi, will you work on this ROM even Oreo is coming?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ATechnoHazard:
Actually, final build will be posted soon, and the dotOS team will move towards work on oreo.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] vollknorke1337:
Nice, thank you. I gift you 1 month XDA ad-free. Go ahead, like that ROM a lot - the best one I've ever had!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Skaaygraff:
Hi, first of all, thanks for the hard work put on this ROM, is the best that I have tested so far, and now I love it. But I have a question, it's possible to change the quick settings colors? And how? This because I saw yellow colors on your page, but I don't know if I misunderstood the point. Greetings!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hereticcss:
This rom has OMS support so u can use substratum, and there is a theme for that

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] abhay009:
Heating issue and battery are not that much good on aex roms
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] vuckovic_stefan:
Thanks, tomorow i will get Zuk Z2, i will try first Indian MM and if im not satisfied i will go with Viper.

Nougat stock has some anoying bugs, late notifications, double notifications, wifi hotspot problem etc...
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
To temper your expectations, I gotta tell you that some people, including me, do have a problem with the GPS on Viper. It does work, but only when you've locked on via WiFi/mobile data, otherwise it takes an eternity to lock on with GPS only. Also, Viper's fingerprint scanner takes a slightly long time to unlock if the phone's been asleep. But it's still a pretty great ROM.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] ashwath230:
[MENTION=8478861]n'wah[/MENTION] Mention the most bug free stable ROM please !

Best ROM in terms of SOT , performance and stability. I know you might read OP but I just need to know.

Cause some ROMs have been updated so
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
I'd say go with the last LineageOS build. I would have never left that ROM if it had recieved KRACK patches.

If you NEED to have the security patch, then I'd say go with the last (official) crDroid build. I didn't find any noteworthy bugs while the phone was on, however there's a rather scary bug with offline charging- the display gets flipped and and the phone refuses to turn on unless you press the power button for a long time. Performance is slightly worse than Lineage though.

Viper is also a good choice if you can live with the slow fingerprint recognition time when the phone is asleep and the GPS issue mentioned above. It's what I'm currently using. Best performance, okay battery life.

Also, if you can wait a couple of days, [MENTION=5989777]miju12[/MENTION] is gonna release a new ROM - DotOS. Maybe he's managed to iron out the bugs that are in other ROMs.

Hope this helps.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] saurav_k:
Why the Lineage ROM never became Official? Does it support VoLTE?

Is there a way to install KRACK patch manually over any ROM? I wan't to try Lineage as I am using it on Moto G and it is bug free on it. Also, I believe it does not have the latest camera blobs right? We have to flash it?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
IIRC to become official, the ROM should pass certain quality tests, be mostly bug-free, sensors should work properly etc. By the time the dev ironed out the bugs, he had to step away from development due to personal reasons. I don't think it has the latest camera blobs, volte should work though.

And it doesn't seem that you can flash a security patch manually, if you find out it is possible, please let us know! I feel a lot of users would return to Citrus CAF and Lineage if they had the security patches.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] saurav_k:
And new ROMS come as official even before masses get to use them (see the DOT OS rom thread). Already official :laugh: no quality control.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Not_James_Bond:
Did you get Your device. And did you get the Nougat update notification or something like that.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] miju12:
If you wish to pay me, I will maintain quality control.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] saurav_k:
Your reply makes no sense in the current context. n'wah replied that "to become official, the ROM should pass certain quality tests" and to which I said a new ROM which is not even used by anyone yet is already official. Where does the question of paying or not paying comes here? I think you took it in the wrong sense.

I am still not clear about how this Official status gets decided? Lineage, AOSGP-X are out for long time but Unofficial and here is a new ROM which had issues with the first build and it is already official !!

I like many other users appreciate your and other developer's work and I am also excited about the new ROM you are coming up with. The discussion here was about the Official / Unofficial status.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] miju12:
Seriously do you think I have done a random build and publish it? Usually I test my builds myself before publishing but this time I was low on data and the previous build was working good so I didn't test and published which was my mistake and I agree for it. I can't speak for other Roms.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] saurav_k:
I seriously have no issues that your build had some issues. You are taking it in wrong sense. I am puzzled about Official vs UnOfficial status.

Edited my post above after you replied. Take a look.

Regarding the fact that you tested your build - I am sure you did. I am very new to the world of custom Roms and you are an expert. But, I have been a QAE by profession and don't feel that a dev testing his own code is the ideal way to do it :)

My confusion arises when I see ROMs like Lineage in Unofficial status, AEX in Alpha status and a new ROM as Official.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] vuckovic_stefan:
Jes i got it last night. I installed franco's 2.3 v15 multilanguage rom, working good for now. Notifications are instant on WhatsApp which is very important for me. On this version he fixed double notification problem. It is android 6, MM, im not looking for Nougat, there is no really big diference, and Nougat has some other bugs than double notification. I just installed it i have ti test it for a week to see if there is some bug but users on zukfans say that this is most stable stock custom rom :)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
I think Lineage enforces more stringent standards mainly due to the fact that

1. It the de facto entry point for people that want to try custom ROMs; they want to make the transition in terms of stability as seamless as possible.

2. A lot of custom ROMs themselves depend on Lineage as base.

Also, i think the dotOS maintainer is part of the core dev team [MENTION=5989777]miju12[/MENTION] correct me if I'm wrong); would be rather odd if his own ROM was unofficial.

On a different note, [MENTION=5989777]miju12[/MENTION] mate do you have plans to include signature spoofing support in dotOS? Would really help folks like me who use MicroG instead of Gapps.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] debasish497:
yes , quality control or rather process control is very stringent in Lineage (earlier Cyanogen) - I used the official version of Cyanogen in my Mi3 (sold), Leco S2/S3(sold) and in my OP3T. I felt strange that Zuk Z2 is not having an official build of Lineage while (Leco was having), but nonetheless the unofficial builds IMHO are some of the more stable ROMs ZUK Z2 has.

Zuk Z2 is a promising device even now (it was released more than a year ago), hoped that it would get a cult status like Mi3/Mi4 (Cancro) - considering the price point it was released and the numbers it was sold (comparable to mi3 - not a redmi note 4 though) -

probably the device didn't attract much more seriously crazy developers who took the challenge and made few devices custom rom friendly all on their own. -
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
Alright, new reviews for the updated ROMs (will update the OP in a while):

1. Jaguar r17 by [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

This ROM remains, for the time being, the only option if you want no-holds-barred performance and continued dev support. By that I mean not just scrolling smoothness, but stuff like fast(almost instantaneous) fingerprint recognition, fast GPS lock and no throttled downloads when screen is off. I did not facing the heating issues others reported. Mild heating, yes- but nothing that should scare the average user. Unfortunately, battery drain is still rather high for me. With light usage like Reddit, XDA Labs browsing (Lightning+Firefox Klar), music etc. I get an average of ~14-15% drain per hour. With GPS navigation with OsmAnd for ~1hr it went up to ~20% per hour over the course of the day. (I am not using GApps). Still, I recommend you give this ROM a shot if performance is your priority. Worth nothing many users get a much better battery than me.

2. LineageOS 2017-11-20 by [MENTION=5719417]varotone[/MENTION]

Against all odds, LOS got a new update with new security patches! The ROM continues to deliver a great balance of performance and battery life, giving a lag-free experience in all but the most demanding of apps. Strangely, the new build has an issue with a horribly slow fingerprint response (which older builds didn't, IIRC). If not for this issue, LOS would have been the perfect ROM.

3. crDroid 2017-11-24 by [MENTION=6623671]Subhrajyoti Sen[/MENTION]

ROM has been updated with the latest security patches. Amazing battery life, just like the previous build. Snappy fingerprint. Smoothness is still a notch below Lineage/Jaguar in my opinion, with lags in apps like Twidere, XDA Labs. Web browsing with Lightning browser has been mostly lag free though. Nonetheless, this ROM is my daily driver right now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, I feel all the ROMs are still missing that last bit, which would push them into the "perfect" territory (for me). Lineage and Viper have slow FP response, crDroid lags a bit while Jaguar sufferes from high battery drain (not really a bug, but still). Most other Nougat ROMs have been abandoned and lack the latest security patches.

I think the only new Nougat ROM we're gonna get is dotOS. [MENTION=5989777]miju12[/MENTION] said they're taking their time to add new features, remove bugs etc. Let's hope dotOS manages to avoid the bugs in other ROMs and hits it out of the park!
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] NaXal:
Waiting for your take on AEX ROM.

I have used the AEX based on 7.1.2 on Moto E2 3G and mighty impressed with its simplicity, blazing performance on a 3 year old hardware and solid battery life without any bugs.

Feeling tempted to unlock my Z2 Plus and go AEX.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
For my views on AEX, see the first post.

Essentially, I didn't have a good time with AEX 4.6- my phone lagged a bit and didn't have great battery life either. AEX 4.4 (July 22nd build) on the other hand is a great ROM IMO. I didn't recall any major bugs/stability issues great performance and good (not great) battery life.

I didn't stay with 4.4 because it doesn't have the latest security patches. (Well, neither does 4.6- so if you HAVE to try one-I'd say go with the 4.4 July 22 build.) But crDroid, Viper, Lineage and Jaguar are better options ATM, for different reasons.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] TanajiKC:
4.6 has latest patches . And collect some info before sharing to others..
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
Umm, unless I'm mistaken, the last AEX build is from 20th September. The KRACK vulnerability was discovered mid-October. I don't see how the 20th Sept. build can have security patches for KRACK, unless the devs have mastered the art of time travel.

That is, unless, you're referring to one the unofficial builds. I consider and review all unofficial builds separately, as you can see from the OP.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] NaXal:
So which ROM to choose if following are my preference ?

Fully functional (Finger print, both camera, buttons, UI, network hardware like Wifi/bluetooth/both SIM/VoLTE, no over or underclocked)

Stability

Simplicity (I am more than willing to sacrifice customization options over stability and simplicity)

Performance without eating too much of battery life

I dont tinker too much with my phone at OS level so slower update cycle delivering stability is preferred over faster builds but headache of bugs

Thanks.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
If you don't care about security patches, you have quite a few options. You can go for:

1. Second-last LOS build

2. Final Citrus CAF build

3. 22nd July AEX build

And like I said before, do give Jaguar a try as well. The ROM is rock solid, and quite a few people have reported okay to good battery life.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] vuckovic_stefan:
So finally I transferred from ZUI to custom rom scene.

My combination:

Aex 4.4 24.07 build

Heliox kernel 15.10 build

Camera blobs from ZUI nougat

Open gapps pico

magisk v14

Lenovo super camera (found on 4pda/custom firmwares/link to camera thread), OnePlus camera 2.5 for panorama photos. Stock Snapdragon camera records dark and panoramas are dark also.

This combination is super solid/stable, battery life extraordinary, way better than stock ZUI. Camera quality is great, system is super fast, no force closes. Everything works, bug less, I never used custom firmware which is so stable.

Later builds have some problems, there is also unofficial build with latest security updates. Maybe this build with Heliox kernel works as good as this but I read on that thread that this build 4.4 is the best. Later builds also have inbuilt camera blobs, just to mention if you try them, don't flash camera blobs.

Thank you all for alot of helpful informations!

Sorry for abit off topic. About standby battery. Do you guys thinks turn on these features affect battery much:

-fingerprints scan

-double tap to wake

-pocket detection

-prevent accidental wakeup
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] vuckovic_stefan:
Of course man. I turn off all the features except fingerprint scanner....

Double tap to wake keeps touchscreen on all the time...

Other features keep sensors on...

But I turn on double tap to sleep, this feature on Aex doesn't eat battery.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] DivyanshuJ:
Hey [MENTION=8478861]n'wah[/MENTION] ! If you have tried Oreo ROM's. A same guide for Oreo would be very much helpful. Thanks
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] vuckovic_stefan:
For Oreo currently the best version is Omnirom stable version. But I advise to wait for few more weeks because developers now have stock ZUI Oreo rom also and will make much better custom roms with some file porting...
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n'wah:
Yes, I have have tried a few Oreo ROMs and I concur with [MENTION=6596602]vuckovic_stefan[/MENTION], Omni is a pretty good ROM. The 4th December Validus build was pretty good for me too, I wrote a small review here.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm gonna make a comprehensive guide to Oreo ROMs anytime soon, mainly due to 2 reasons:

1) I'm kinda busy with work, and if I have to make an accurate assessment about a ROM, I have to use it for at least 3-4 days. And performing initial setup is somewhat tedious for me, since I don't use Gapps, I have to install apps manually :(

2) New and updated builds of the Oreo ROMs keep appearing at a very fast pace, since most of them are in alpha. As a result, any review is bound to become obsolete after a couple of days. Case in point- AICP Oreo was rather rough around the edges when it first released, but now it's a very good ROM by all accounts. I don't want an out of date review to undermine all the subsequent work done on improving a ROM when it's in alpha.

I hope my reasons are... reasonable :D. I might update the Nougat reviews soon though, I've been testing the new PureFusion build for the past couple of weeks; and flashed the latest dotOS today.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] poled:
I'm tired of trying new roms just to confirm that ViperOs keeps being the smoothest one... :(
