I would like to give 10 on 10 to the community because now we have everything that we need for the healthy development of the phone as the company has released all the kernel source code and the bootloader unlock tool and the company is delivering the bimonthly security updates of the Android and important updates to the phone as soon as possible and as soon as they are found

So now it is our responsibility to take care of this community and keep this development healthy in order to keep this phone alive in the years to come because these days the metallic phones don't wear away so easily and then it to be cared so that they will be going on for years
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] lanisshrup:
It's flourishing everyday... Awesome
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Hameedhudeen:
Can't say it is great as of now. I was using a OnePlus before and the development for that device used to be far far better. It has been about 3 months since our phone has been released and we still don't have a 100% stable custom ROM yet. People still complain about minor issues with every custom ROM and that's the reason why I'm sticking to the stock ROM. Hoping things will get better.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] abhishek biswas:
ok all is done yes sd636 is only 5mts old so we have to for further development

hope community get stong as time passes

Thanks for your sincere effort for The Rom developments and any kind of issues fixing, I wish them all the best.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] matt2k7:
This phone is good on paper and to some extent in real life, coming from my three old OnePlus one I have several complaints, which I've listed below.

1. Despite having an "NXP Smart Amp" this phone does not provide decent audio experience compared to my old oneplus one, the audio output is lacking depth and harsh, simply not pleasant to listen to.

2. The fingerprint sensor does not work while the phone is connected to the charger.

3. This phone has 2.4Ghz WiFi only which cannot be used reliably if you are using bluetooth at the same time, because of interference the network jitter goes up significantly. (from 2ms to 140ms)

4. Vibration response while being decent is too delayed, adjusting the haptic feedback settings from 0 to 30 ms leads to no haptic response at all, you have to crank beyond 50ms to get something significant out of it. But still, at times the haptic feedback will miss while typing.

Looking at the community and development support going on for this phone I really hope that at least the first and second problem gets a resolution, as the other two are related to hardware itself.

Im looking at cooking a Rom for myself based on all the available Roms, cabs, etc... my question is if there is a way to cook a rom and view it on your desktop instead of flashing it on my Tilt... my main reason for asking this is that I really dont understand what all the different packages look like or add to the overall look of the cooked Rom... Id much rather put something together and play with it on my desktop instead of flashing the Rom over and over until I find something I like... any ideas? thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Confused Stu:
Very good idea, but I've never heard of anything that does that - the only way to test a cooked ROM is to flash it to a phone & see what happens.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DutchmanIII:
There's a programme which emulates WM devices so you can run the OS on your desktop:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A5-183A-4A1E-A7E2-CC500ED1F19A&displaylang=en

It only takes the OS in a certain format though, and i wouldnt know how to convert HTC-specific roms to run with it.

Edit: here's version 2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...53-f231-4a64-a648-fea5e7061303&DisplayLang=en
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] grandpareza:
jpofsc, let me know if reonan's link worked. I'd like to get my hands into rom cooking and this would be a safe way to test roms without flashing to my phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kjb86:
I don't think it works

I've been trying to cook myself something this past week and things aren't really going the way i'd like them too and i just tried using that and it doesn't work unless i'm doing something wrong

a quick google and i came up with this wm emulator

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A6F6ADAF-12E3-4B2F-A394-356E2C2FB114&displaylang=en

i think you should be able to use this for our devices. i havent been able to find an emulator for the tytn yet
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kyphur:
The MS Emulators are not hardware emulators.

They basically provide a generic WM6 virtual OS that you can deploy software to. It is a software developer's tool.

I don't think you;ll find what you're looking for as it would have to know how to pretend to be a KAiser by using the exact drivers that a Kaiser depends on etc.

You can just double tap on the recent app key to know the speed of the app switching because it takes nothing but just the speed of the tip of your finger to switch the application even if you have playing pubg and side by side editing a PowerPoint presentation on the phone trust me this phone is a kind of price range beast of these days.

P.S-I am not a hater of the redmi note 5 Pro but have definitely tell that this phone is providing more at its own price range

RAM management is not upto the mark in 3gb version , only 900mb (approx) , with no apps running in background.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SanketMohapatra:
It is a very wrong conception that only 900 MB RAM is left with you but it is actually keeping the things in the RAM and the RAM management comes to the effect when you fire an application which will be consuming around 1.2 GB and the phone will be flushing out its memory in the real time in order to give you that extra Ram required for your application if your available RAM is showing less it doesn't mean that you will only have 900mb of RAM to run an application and if you feel something more than that you will not be getting the advantage

I am a user of this phone and I have already tested this in the real world environment and the phone is performing great while multitasking
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] bagajohny:
RAM management is not good. Sometimes apps get killed while running in background even with 3-4 apps. No games in those apps.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] aaditya1234:
Noticed the same behavior with official pie builds. On Oreo builds RAM management was nice.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] WonderAsif:
Same with my PUBG. Poor ram management issue.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] bagajohny:

What's the temperature you guys get?

My phone at times shoots to 38 - 40 degrees celsius on normal usage.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SanketMohapatra:
At my intensity of the work my phone never goes above 40 degree celsius in the normal use and it remains cool for the most of the time
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] .hack//G.U.:
It remains cool all the time and I'm loving Snapdragon already. My last device was RN4X with that terrible Mediatek Chipset and boy not only it's so power hungry, but also constantly go over 44C all the time, record was 47C and I thought it was gonna explode at that time. Below is a proof that I game a lot with this device, it's not PUBG but still demanding enough cause it runs in 60FPS.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Prateem691:
I play PUBG at max settings and the CPU temp reaches 47-48° at times and the phone does get hot then. On average 42-44 provided I'm in a well ventilated environment. Anyone else with same readings ?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] jsanket95:
44 degrees in a well ventilated environment is quite a bit! Do you observe any throttling issues when the phone get's heated up?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] YSurya:
I noticed the phone's getting heated up while on Facebook only when outdoors in daylight..

Does anyone have the same issue?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Unknown viruses:
Overall speed is good...

App launching speed is very nice.

Multitasking is good...

Scrolling smoothness is also good...

Heating issue raises on video calling... Other than this there are no other issues with performance.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] chirag6456:
Gets hot in Summers

Gets really hot in summers 45+. But in other seasons no it was normal 35-40.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] m.hasan01:
I'll be honest, it's pretty bad, frequently off focus, poor low light, lack of stabilization, but maybe fine for the price range I guess

Redmi Note 5 is probably the better choice for photo quality

Nonetheless, I think updates might help. At least I hope :rolleyes:
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Abby 244:
In daylight conditions pictures turns out good with good focus , saturation levels etc. But color reproduction needs work and in low light conditions noise is quite apparent. Portrait is like 7/10. Selfies turn out good after the recent update, 8.5/10.

P.S. For stabilized videos I use nokia camera app and its upto the mark .
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] baunthiyal:
Low-light picture quality is abominable. Zoom tears images, there is a lot of noise. Images in daylight are pretty decent. For this price range, the camera quality is justifiable (I suppose). I have a Moto G4 Plus and it takes amazing photos compared to this device. If you remove the portrait mode, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 has nothing over the Moto G4 Plus camera.

Hope to see changes in future updates.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] abubin:
Yes, pretty disappointed with the camera performance. I should have got the RN5 instead but since I already got this, I'll stick with it as taking pictures is not the main thing for me on this phone. Still, the quality is far off from the various paid reviews.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] batterytwo:
Is it better with Google Camera , anyboby ? Thanks
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Abby 244:
For sure Gcam pics are better. I have been using it from past one week and will sure never turn back to stock camera.

Moreover with Gcam you also get additional features like panorama , ar stickers and google lense.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] sirifort:
Can anyone show the photo quality difference with gcam and the stock one?

I am yet to purchase the phone. I have seen lot of camera comparison with Redmi note 5 pro on YouTube but still confused. I am planning to use Lineage os if I buy the device.

Can anyone please tell me how is the picture quality taken with gcam mod on 6gb ram model with Redmi note 5 pro?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] parveen_kumar:

Is photo quality better than redmi note 5 pro if I use google camera on zenfone max pro m1?

Don't know but it is definitely better than the original Asus camera app
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] jaguar1106:
Earlier the photos taken from Asus were not that great as that of redmi note 5pro, but now with Google cam installed these are now coming extra ordinary, thanks for the team made possible without rooting the phone.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] tcrmc1991:
how to get the AR stickers????
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Skalibur271:
I installed Google camera after enabling api through fastboot but not much big effect is seen from Snapdragon camera

For example I did portrait mode on Google camera but it takes much time than Snapdragon camera and also showing images of low resolution and small megapixel (my camera support 16 MP but it showed images from 8 MP and allow motion is not working and hdr+enhanced is allowed but not working, the camera got stuck every time it is turned on
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] HackTech27:
Okay at well lit conditions, not good at low light

During daylight, the rear camera photos are good.

But the phone doesn't focus properly on close objects.

The low light camera is bad. A lot of noise, less light detection, slow focus,etc.

The video quality (1080p) during day is good. But the device takes time to focus during a video recording.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] kartikkasat:
but how to get slow motion in GCAM?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Cookie Ninja:

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] HackTech27:
No option given for slow motion

So can't do slow motion yet.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] chetan.xs:
You can Oneplus camera for that. It has pro mode too.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] kamalsomani:
No Panorama supported in stock app

The stock app do not support panorama , ridiculous :mad:

The photos are unpredictable, some time they are amazing, and other times its very bad.

you have to do lot of try to get good photos.

mostly you see too much of noise in photos..

Finally, the app is too poor to my liking. why can't they have a better app.

GoogleCam is your rescue.

you get panorama support.

Better(consistent) photos. must have upgrade. Thanks to the Asus Team for keeping cam2Api open.

Hey guys i just noticed that when i try to record a video from my stock camera app the video continuously shifts from blurred to clear view in indoor lighting condition. Why? And how to fix it?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] noelbiswas:
It is noticed that only 4Gb Version of Max Pro M1 is having restricted shutter slow shutter speed. After clicking red eye reduction for several times developer option is enabled. But in user settings of manual exposure the slowest shutter speed is only 1/3 sec (340miliseconds) whereas 3Gb and 6Gb variants are having more than 10seconds (10000 milliseconds) shutter speed. Interestingly the ISO range also 100-1550 whereas in other two variants it is 100-1600. I could not understand if my device is faulty or all 4Gb variant having same issue or it is due to the November 15th new update(.337)? Do you guys with 4Gb variant having same issue. Please throw some light. Thanks

Same with mine..I think there is no fix and nobody bothers.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] starlord143:
I'm unable to use any camera app not even stock after .337 update. Camera keep stopping again and again.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] noelbiswas:
Let's raise voice against these anomalies. Let ASUS know these issues to fix these in future updates. The EIS also useless. Have you noticed the video focus locking problem? It is impossible to record a video without jerk in this phone. I have visited several online portals, Asus sites and YouTube videos. It seems nobody has anything to say about these problems. I don't know why? Maybe everyone has left their hope in Asus. But the irony is that even with good hardware nothing can be done. Maybe the camera hardware is worst.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] AquaBarbus:
With a modification from GCam - very cool!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] SpiralX15:

Which Google Camera port do you use?

I used Arnova8G2 v8, which worked perfectly on the stock operating system.

Unfortunately, it didn't work properly (or at all, I can't remember which) once I changed the operating system from Android 9 to Android 10 by installing a custom ROM.

I have tried various Google Camera ports on my Max Pro M1, but with Android 10 they either crash or are missing important modes that I need to use, like Panorama mode or Lens Blur mode.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

That looks great! What Google Camera port are you using?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] mesreeju192000@gmail.com:
MGC_5.3.015_4 copy this version and google it you will find it. Note it only works in pie
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Max Pro M1 User:
Yup, I tried it in Android 10 and got a "camera keeps stopping" error as soon as it attempted to open.

I tried the latest stable release (Arnova's 6.2.030 v2.2, with file name "Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.2.190716.1800-Final.apk" from 2019-07-16). I mostly had major problems.

1. The main camera mode does not take shots when HDR is disabled. (Nothing happens when you press the circle to shoot the photo.)

2. Regardless of whether location remains enabled in settings, location info is not included in any of the photos saved by this app.

3. Panorama shots do not save. You will see a preview of the panorama shot in the app, but when you click on the preview shot, Google Photos shows you the previous shot that saved. The Panorama shot is not saved in the folder with the rest of your photos, so presumably the app can't save panorama shots.

4. Lens Blur shots do not save. The problem is exactly as described for Panorama shots.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Real Life Review] Max Pro M1 User:
Yes, and as Abby 244 mentioned, you will (usually) get useful features using a Gcam port that you don't get with the stock camera app, such as Panorama Mode and Lens Blur Mode.

Unfortunately, finding a fully working Gcam port if you're using a custom Android 10 ROM on this phone is a real *****; they all seem to have at least one problem or another, like missing modes, crashing when switching modes, photos not saving, etc.

However, I was able to easily find Gcam ports that worked when using the stock Android 9 ROM.
