See my SS.

Underclocked the big CPU to 2150Mhz while playing. And little one to 1593. [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION], is there any side effects of underclocking without voltage changing (I don't know what and what not to change) ? I just underclocked it and didn't feel the need for extra speed. Will it improve battery life by any significant amount. A profile with little compromise on speed and better battery will be good. Thanks in advance.

Hi OP & others,

Used ROM for a day, completely satisfied.

Following hiccups, just want to share, in case already there, else can be totally ignored or else can be taken as feature request(if feasible)

1. Ability to lock app in recent apps , if clear all is done, locked app won't get removed.( Like in stock )

2. ‎Action Notification bubble layout improvement

3. ‎Status Bar Logo(A little swag ) Setting - Jaguar Logo instead of current default icon

4. ‎I have set U-Touch long hover to show recent apps, it is working but in stock it used to vibrate when this was done ( Am I missing something ?)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
More porting from Nougat - ram management. In the next release, you will have about 2.95G ram on first boot, as it was in Jaguar N. Regular boot is still about 4 seconds after Zuk logo. So, you'll have both: fast boot time and increased ram.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:

General flashing procedure of wiping everything except internal, flash ROM+gapps, reboot. first boot takes some time.

Don't wipe cache after ROM and gapps flashing.

If on boot loop for long time, restart once.

There cannot be any error if you've used a custom ROM before and flashing Jaguar now. Use search option as this generally is answered in any ROM thread.

Don't use vp9 option, because while it gives better image quality for lower data, Snapdragon 820 does not support hardware encoding for vp9, so your cpu consumption will be more and battery will be affected. Only 835 and CPUs that came after it support hardware encoding for vp9.

We are eager to know your comment on it.

not if it's hardware accelerated - a 4k movie playing with hw acceleration has better performance + thermal than a 1080p sw accelerated one. And it's not really about resolution - other than Tegra SoC, no android device can playback 10bit videos with hw acceleration right now. Still, the phone can still heat up + die suddenly from other kind of loads like games as well
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
From my limited knowledge of Treble: you still need OEM support. Also, whether or not Treble will come to our Z2, if it comes, it's won't be from 'treble supported' TWRP.

But one thing is for sure: I am not going to collaborate with the mentioned bunch (especially those who have posted in this thread) out of respect for Android and for many other reasons. Sorry. Not my fault. :)

Airtel is working find if i use in any of sim slot but Jio is frequently disconnection from the server. This is happening at all the locations. While travelling is fluctuates a lot. I had to switch aeroplane Mode again and again when i need to use the Jio. It connects with the server but after some time it disconnects .

I tried going back to stock ROM using QFIL and did OTA updates. Now same problem coming in Stock Roms as well. Is it a deep partition problem or I need to change the device.. I love this Device and the Jaguar Roms

Note while talking continuously on phone even while moving the connections doesn't effect. But once i stop connection is lost. Can anyone please help me here.

Only two problems for me. The volume through headphone jack is too low. About 30 40 percent lower than the feb build. And double tap to wake option is not toggling off. Even if it is off in settings its still enabled. Otherwise for people who have deep sleep issues, use a custom kernel auditor with no adds and which can hold netlink off after reboot. If u have a lot of apps installed even try using greenify. Some say it drains even more battery but if u have a lot of apps installed, my personal experience says it can increase battery life and help in deep sleep. My drain over night is 1 percent to 2 percent at max. With data n wifi turned off. Kindly look into the two issues. Thanks.

Has nothing to do with the rom, especially that you have it on stock too. Jio is starting to have problems: first of all, to have Volte only service without a fall back to H/H+, is not a good idea for quality reasons; second - the more customers they get, the more burdened their system is. I don't know how it is in India, but in Europe and the US, carriers have agreements to exchange access to each other's towers, as a fall back, which benefit all.

4. Logo got stucked, but didn't rebooted. It succeeded after around 10 mins.

:- 2.5GB on boot & after settling for 5-10 mins, its coming around 2.2-2.3GB.

( Tried to capture values via 2-3 boots ) - It might be less due to various reasons

-> U - Touch settings reverted.

-> SIM Disable/toggle still failing :( :P
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
You didn't have to wait for 10 minutes - should have just restarted. It only happens after upgrade.

Also, 2.5GB ram is fine, because you flashed dirty on top of data. My comment was related to the first boot after clean flash. Obviously, the more apps you install, the less ram you have. I have about 190 apps and I get 2.7-2.8GB after reboot, which is the most you can get, the way it was in Nougat.. So, I can finally say that any ram limitations we had due to Oreo, have been resolved.

Planning on moving from aex 5.3 and would like to clarify a few stuff before doing so :-

1. Does the rom support QC3.0 like in AR Beast Kernel

2. Does it have all the customizations of u-touch swipes & taps (I'm accustomed to right swipe - recents, left swife - back and double tap - home)

3. Anyone who moved successfully by dirty flash jaguar over aex and zero issues?

4. Like Nougat Jaguar do i need to flash any previous versions before flashing the latest

I read the first two posts including all the changes and these questions aren't answered there.

I'm interested in jaguar for the dev has updated atleast some features asked by users rather than simply updating what he likes.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] optimumpro:
1. Yes

2. Not all. You have default plus customizable long press home and double tap home actions

3. You can never flash dirty when changing to a different rom

4. No. You can flash the latest release straight. Clean flash wiping /system/data/dalvik/cache

Edit: You can't blame AEX dev for not implementing features, because he is just a device maintainer. He has very little control over what AEX team does. With Jaguar, I am the team, and I can do whatever I want, including implementing requested features.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Andro Enthusiast:
1. Don't know about it.

2. You can customise double tap and long press but not left and right swipe actions yet.
