Could give us a little more details on how to do this: "Then I disabled SetupWizard.apk renaming it SetupWizard.sav in /system/priv-apps via TWRP and adb "?

Thanks

If it is not asking too much, share also the modified gapps. :)
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmarcus:
I managed to have it working, and I can say that it is pretty much done, although I have not tried NFC and Bluetooth. Be back later with news on that.

I'm loving it!
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
Can you share the steps in details? Thx
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmarcus:
It was a lot through trial and error.

1 I updated after 4.16 is installed and a clean install, factory reset.

2 after 4.16 is cleaned installed you go through manual update and select the new beta Oreo file.

3 after installation of Oreo is complete, run it and then go and install TWRP as you already know.

4 once TWRP is installed you will have to format data with ext2 first and then ext4, you can find it through advanced wipe.

5 download gapps, I used nano, use a software to edit it, I use WinRAR, find the wizard something APK inside gapps and simply delete it, there a phone and tablet, delete both just in case. Just save the zip file, don't do anything else.

6 transfer to the phone running TWRP and install it.

I'm sorry if it is not that clear, as I said, more trial and error than anything.

Good luck and don't hesitate to ask.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
When you say factory reset, this is the one in settings in oreo I presume?
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmarcus:
Actually, I simply did a wipe through TWRP and installed the 4.16v zip which can be installed in TWRP.

I am experiencing a problem with flashing TWRP. First of all, I cannot establish connection between my computer and phone even I have done installation of adb-setup 1.43.exe on the computer. I run fastboot device and it shows waiting for device. Can you please share with me what driver you installed on your computer (my os is windows 10). Thank you.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
Couldn't find that one... The 4.16 I have fails in twrp, but succeeds in emergency recovery. Where did you find it? The link in this thread no longer works for me... And the moment I wipe data (change to fs ext2 and back to ext4) the phone no longer boots into the os... It reboots to bootloader when I try...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmarcus:
Honestly I don't know, I searched nubia usb windows drivers and installed them all. I also had problems with that, now I'm not touching anything there.

Good luck
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
about 5: setupwizarddefault-all.tar.lz <- is this the file to delete? couldn't find an .apk in the zip...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] rmarcus:
Yes, this is the one.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
also did you root the device using twrp?

I'm just wondering, because here I'm stuck again in bootloader... not booting to os... I followed afaik all the steps... (but I did root the device, since the twrp install thread suggests this is needed)

for some reason it seems system partition is not mounting by default

in bootloader I get:

secure boot:Yes

System is root:yes

boot is root: yes

device is root:yes

device state: locked

in twrp have to manually click the mount system, after which I can see the data is still there...

but it just doesn't seem to mount be default... hence the booting to bootloader when trying to boot to system...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] philifeecs:
Dont root, i cant get a working root at all with magisk or super user. install 4.16. boot system. use in built recover to flash update to 8.1. TWRP can be used to mount the system and rename setupwizard.apk via file manager within TWRP. There is Priv apps, system apps and apps in 3 folders. you can indeed debloat by renaming or removing the k from .apk.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

I'm liking the stock 8.1 xp but no magisk :( or NFC - has anyone managed to get either running - magisk has no options and nfc with google pay wont allow to add a card? also a biggy no percentage battery - only on lock screen. A fix or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
Thanks, the rooting seems to cause the stuck in boot to bootloader... I thought the formatting was the cause.

Apparently the rooting was it... But unfortunately because the setup is missing for gapps, I can't restore stored information... Or is there a way anyone knows of to still do this?

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

I do see battery percentage on top right, just left from the battery icon. I guess it's something in settings

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Lol, I went looking for the setting and enabled display speed in notification area, and the percentage disappeared... However on disabling the setting the percentage did not reappear... I am now in the same boat :p

Facebook messenger app seems to shut down when in a chat... Very annoying, you can't reply to anyone this way...

No I didn't root, yet. In 7.0 we had to root to have gapps working properly, so far gapps is working fine, I installed nano, apparently if you use full there is not enough space in partition.

My experience to install gapps so far:

Install twrp 3.2.1 from opening post like suggested

Then flash 4.16 and the update to Oreo 8.1 and flash Google apps (I used mini, because it was the largest that would fit in system)

Do not change the setup in /system/prive-apps/Setupsomething/ (sorry don't recall the exact name) just boot up, en finish the google setup at the end of the setup it will loop back... At that point, reboot to twrp and change the setup .apk extension to something else (I used .done to make me remember I finished it) and again reboot to system and the normal Nubia install will start (and remember WiFi you set in previous setup) after you finished the Nubia install, you'll see that playstore is reinstalling all your apps. This is where I'm at...

[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
Did you do the advanced wipe (change data FS to ext2 and then back to ext4) after that if you connect to a computer you'll have access to the internal memory. And then you can transfer any room to your device so TWRP can flash it

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

But indeed if you installed the TWRP 3.2.1-0 this wiping is no longer needed since your data partition will show up fine

I have used the method from rmarcus and all ok. Gapps, notifications, bluetooth.. System very fast and reliable.. Used twrp 3.2.1-0.

NFC is only thing that i cannot test. I probe it tomorrow

yes, eveything works for me... I did explain a few pages ago the method I used in detail:

Do not change /system/prive-apps/SetupWizard/SetupWizard.apk just boot up, and finish the google setup at the end of the setup it will loop back...

everything seems to be working so far apart from some small odd behaviors in some apps...

now I'm looking into resizing the system partition through TWRP just to use the full gapps :)

NFC might actually be working, can't really test it though, because adding a card in Google Pay is currently NOT working...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] philife:
Thanks for help. I haven't used the TWRP 3.2.1-0 yet... Busy times. I was wondering if your now root? You mentioned fastboot stats showing root but I'm not sure on the timeline if this was 3.1.1 or 3.2.1-0?

if 3.2.1-0 twrp method root, magisk OK?

BTW this stock beta is good. Battery performance seems better. Brightness is low for auto. Permission issues. The integration of gapps and China rom's is never going to be pleasant till treble.

I don't think Treble in itself would be needed, just the moving away from this limiting Nubia UI 5.x
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] arceoxis:
I've checked in the Oreo Beta, Treble isn't supported and I don't think this will change...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBlubke:
I'm not sure yet... I've read a bit... and the A/B partition system isn't exactly a requirement for Treble... and it's the only thing I think the Treble check app was complaining about...

both Huawei Mate 9 and 10 and the Sony Experia XZ1 (Compact) have only the A partition... I'n not holding my breath 'though...

I'd still be glad if we got Stock Oreo 8.1 eventually without the current UI 5.0 shell
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] Topogigi:
I'm back to RR now, but if treble is supported in this ROM (A partition only scheme, not A/B), it should be possible that this Magisk version will work (use it at your own risk, I don't want to be pointed as responsible of any disaster, nuclear war, etc....)

If you run windows , then open the folder where you downloaded and unzipped twrp to.

In this folder right click on your mouse while holding down the shift key, open power shell/command promt.

Connect phone in fastboot mode.

Write cmd in command promt window.

Then write fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX563J

Now you write fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Time for a reboot.

Now the new twrp should be installed.

I did it in the end, it was usb's fault :D

Anyway as I managed to get twrp I went back to 4.16 and restored the previous nandroid backup, for my experience the Oreo rom is way too bugged..

1) camera app had lots of bugs, like crash when using optical zoom, wrong exposure, bad overall photos (I bought this phone for camera the most)

2) settings disappeared, like lock screen background going back to default after I changed it many times

3) morelocale resets to every restart of the phone

4) as many said, alarm didn't work

7.1 at least is stable, and I managed to reach even 11 hours of screen on before battery was 0%, so I prefer this one for now. Oreo is much fluid and faster, fingerprint sensor also was faster
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mattsch:
Strange I have no problems running morelocale, the camers works fine, and the alarm wakes me up in the morning, no problem.

I haven't had a chrash, did clear all before installing, because i had massive problems before I reset the phone and cleared dalvik and cache, and so on, and the gapps force closed all the time, now everything runs fine on 8.1
