[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] The.Night.King:
Rom review

Always been a lover of Jaguar ROM but wanted to take some time before properly reviewing the ROM.

First the bugs or better to say issues otherwise our biology boy may point out scientific names of different bugs.

1. Yeah, APPS ARE INSTALLING A BIT SLOW, BUT dev has already pointed out why and what's he gonna do. So...

2. When AUTOHIDE OF NETWORK SPEED METER is enabled it DOESN'T work properly, setting autohide at 0kBps works but I've tried with 50kBps which I generally use & at higher speeds it doesn't show any speed, works properly for some time after setting though.

3. Some users are having problem with MTP, there's actually some issue in it. For me it wasn't working at first, after doing this and that I found that if I keep USB mode to charging in dev options and change to mtp after connecting, then its OK, but if I set mtp by default in dev options it won't work.

Something similar happened to my friend but he white listed the default battery optimization apps and then it worked.

4. I'm getting LAG IN FP RESPONSE specially when I'm trying to wake device up after 5(+)mins.

5. DT2W isn't working as everyone can see and its a very essential feature. So NEEDS FIXING SOON.

6. VULCAN RENDERER CRASHES, to reproduce, enable it in dev options and see all apps crashing when you try to open them.

7. CHARGING INDICATOR isn't working, op, may be you're getting proper indication but that's unlike most users including me. I'm USING the stock charger provided with z2, even the USB+charger cable is stock. So...

8. OTG ain't working.

9. Now, this is a bug that's very hard to notice but not for me. Arrange your QS TILES in 1 page in qs drop down, such that no extra space is empty in that page(eg. if you're using 3x3 or 4x3, use full limit no. of toggles) and don't keep HOTSPOT toggle. Now enable hotspot in settings and use it, later on you'll see that a new qs toggle page has created with hotspot icon.

10. EMPTY SPACES in status bar beside extreme icons to the left and right.

11. BLOATS. Dev you got to remove apps like omni wallpapers, open delta etc. We got nothing to do with omni wallpapers and I think open delta is omni ota updater app.

Same goes for default music player and browser apps. Very small population uses these default apps. So why let them be in the system, just erase them like it was in Jaguar N.

Also I've never heard of the user who is using omni switch, feels like a bloat to me(entirely my feelings). Same is lawnchair, dev, may be this is your fav launcher but everyone's got their different choices, users can always install and use their favorite launcher, so there's no point in having 2 launchers pre-installed. We can have either one of the two, may be we keep lawnchair only.

The above mentions to remove apps can be done by users also, but I think its better to remove them by default, it will reduce build sizes, making it SLIM.

Coming to the PROS.

1. BATTERY BACKUP is too good. Being an avg users I'm not even needing to charge the device once in 24hrs. I think we wont get to see any more complaints regarding battery life.

2. BOOT UP is extremely fast.

3. ZERO LAGS or performance issues.

4. Absolutely NO HEATING ISSUES.

5. BASIC THINGS are working fine.

6. Good job with NETWORK and SENSORS PERMISSION. I was missing the restrict mobile and WiFi data in per app data usage settings in Oreo ROMs, but here we are.

Considering initial release, the ROM is good. Expecting much more from op very soon.

BTW guys do you remember few days ago I was making wallpapers for Jaguar, even posted 2 of them?

Now I've made few more.:)

Just download the zip, extract and use.

It contains 1 old, 1 modified, 6 new wallpapers & the logo for use on your wallpapers.

Don't forget to feedback, suggest & also don't forget that button below.:laugh:
