Hello,

any news about any custom rom for Z5 Pro?

With the original updated OS the phone seems quite slow and not smooth at all..

Lenovo zui is not so great. I used this phone, there is not such lag in zui however i was not impressed with it. Beside the camera and to recieve phone call you have to slide down, beside this the phone is great. For camera you can install google cam and it is day and night difference as it got the same sensor that one plus 6 t has but without any ois. You can capture great pictures and potrait shot almost like pixel 3 in this phone with google cam. But for phone call you cannot change anything. I recieved 3 big update after getting phone and hope it will get android pie soon. Phone look futuristic and design and display is also excellent. Overall after installing google cam the only one flaw goes away. I recommend this phone everyone who need a above all round phone. And if anyone wants to know how to install google cam with depth control feature contact me on whatsapp +9779845546005.

I dont know from where u heard that. Software is not great but it is still very good. You cannot expect stock android experience but it is not bad. I am using this phone and this phone dont have any bug. Only flaw is the camera but after installing google cam there is day and night difference. Its even better than one plus 6 i absolutely loved this phone

Hey man,

My device is rooted with twrp recovery. But i cant do any updates. Do you know a way how to remove the twrp?
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] anonOmattie:
stock or custom software?

hello fellow developpers.

i recently bought a lenovo z5 pro. it got shipped with the so called "global rom", but as i foun d out on this forum there is no official global rom from lenovo.

i figured out my phone is on software built version 320, but there have already been a couple of update which i missed out on. when booting up the phone i get a message saying the phone bootloader has been unlocked as well.

now i have a few questions.:

is there a way to make sure i have a different kind of software installed on my z5 pro? and if i have which is a beter option:

1. reinstall the original software with OTA updates or 2. wait for a custom rom to install.

thanks in regards!

succesful flashed version 355

THIS IS A VERY RISKY OPERATION AND I ALMOST LOST MY PHONE!!

it didnt go as planned.

i installed twrp and created a backup (not of system, is that nesecarry?) to get to when everything got messed up.

and boi, did it get messed up...

problem 1: when trying to install the rom with QFIL for the first time i got a sahara error and the phone lost its OS. i wanted to reinstall the twrp backup as i got really freaked out about losing my phone. somehow it did not get into edl or something and i failed the installation process and ended up with a broken phone with inly TWRP installed.

problem 2: when wanting to reinstall the backup in twrp i got some error saying the \system partition was not mounted. searching online gave me a solution to this problem, but reinstalling the backup still gave errors. on startup i got a "unsuccesful encryption" error, which yielded a useless backup. also after reformatting i got again the /system not mounted error, but now with a "partition is occupied or used" error. even the solutions online wouldnt work, so my online solution was to flash the original rom with QFIL.

solution:

trying to flash the rom resulted in a 1: sahara error, 2: a file not found error and 3: a phone not in EDL error.

when using the QFIL flasher provided by BadCluster i got the first two errors, and there was no quick way of resolving this problem. the post from [MENTION=2259255]Nikorasu[/MENTION] of another QFIL programm being used led to to the last error. this was good news as the file not found had been gone and now the only thing i had to do was putting the phone in EDL mode. MANY thanks to Nikorasu!!

trying to flash now resulted in an error where QFIL tried to put the phone in EDL mode, but failed to do so. a article online provided me with the following ADB commands to use. try to open to the bootloader/twrp recovery menu, and using the ADB cmd try to see if your device is connected (command "adb devices"). if so, type the command "adb reboot edl" and the phone will reboot in EDL mode. this was the only thing left to flash the stock rom back.

moral of the story!

1. only do this if you can miss the phone, this will save you a LOT of stress!

2. only do this if you can afford losing your phone!

3. in my case, the TWRP backup was pretty useles. only do this if you can afford to lose data!

4. THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE: NEVER GIVE UP! using the internet you can google every error and eventually get to a solution.

if you have any questions please ask

how to lock bootloader:

i found a way to lock the bootloader after you installed the original rom!

this will solve the < waiting for devices > error when phone is connected to pc

follow this tutorial to install the propper driver if your PC does not recognize the phone in fastboot: tutorial

how do i know if i need this?

to know if the proper drivers are installed open adb and type "adb devices" to see if your device is connected

if your device is connected and seen by adb, proceed to type "fastboot devices". if your device is recognized, you are good to go, if not, please follow the youtube tutorial as it helped me solve this problem.

when your device is read as a adb fastboot device, reboot into bootloader using "adb reboot bootloader"

after this, type "fastboot flashing lock" to relock your device. you will get a message on the device to ask for permission.

BE AWARE! THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE TO FACTORY RESET!

hope this helped someone

I have flashed the original rom also (the 355) and when they call me i can't hear anything. Also when I recive a whatsapp audio I have to listen it in Loudspeaker.

Which version of the OS do you have?
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] Nikorasu:
When you say you can't hear, you meant the ringtone right? The inclusion of Dolby Atmos in the last 2 firmware updates screwed up the volume when the engineers turn on auto volume and doesn't include the option to turn it off. I found out how to solve this by downloading an Dolby Atmos apk then turning off the auto volume or simply switch the Dolby off from there.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ujz0tc9z32x8omb/DolbyAtmos.apk/
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] maxihinz:
No, i can hear the ringer, but i can't hear the person on the other end when i pick up the call. The same thing goes for when i want to hear an audio.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] Nikorasu:
I see, sorry that I misunderstood. Does the ear speaker work while playing music? This is to rule out a hardware fault.

If it's not a hardware fault, maybe you can try to turn off dolby with the above method as it seem to cause quite a lot of sound issues...

Can't think of much else other than to try re-flashing the rom if it still doesn't work. Hopefully someone else can help.

Hi,

Does any user of the z5 pro also have issue with notifications?

I get notifications but not right after the message has been sent. It can take up to 1h for notifications to "wake up" and then I realize I have missed several messages. This delay is not always the same. I have this issue with WhatsApp and Facebook messenger mainly. I am currently using official 10.0.355 ST. thanks for your feedbacks!
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] anonOmattie:
I do have some issues with notifications, mostly also not appearing, or only when i reload the app.

Its a shame, and i have to cycle most apps to not miss any important messages. Im running the official software so i hope lenovo will fix this soon. Also apps (mainly google ones) closing andor crashing when in use.(for example when end of page is reached in google now on tap)

[Rom Global para z5 Pro?] Global Rom for Z5 Pro?

[Acabei de pegar meu Z5 Pro, veio com uma ROM aonde eu pude escolher meu idioma, Português do Brasil, mas a ROM tinha alguns bugs, encontrei esta rom "Firmware version: ZUI_10.0.355_ST_190109 Android 8.1 Oreo

File name: L78031_CN_SECURE_USER_Q00009.0_O_ZUI_10.0.355_ST_190109_qpst.zip

Size: 3GB"

E instalei ela com o QFIL

Mas apos iniciar havia apenas como escolher entre inglês e chinês, a minha duvida é: Como era possivel a Rom anterior, ter a opção no Android de escolher vários idiomas, mas não nesta?

Existe alguma ROM atualmente para o Z5 Pro com a opção de suportar vários idiomas?]

I just got my Z5 Pro, it came with a ROM where I could choose my language, Brazilian Portuguese, but the ROM had some bugs, I found this rom "Firmware version: ZUI_10.0.355_ST_190109 Android 8.1 Oreo

File name: L78031_CN_SECURE_USER_Q00009.0_O_ZUI_10.0.355_ST_190109_qpst.zip

Size: 3GB "

And I installed it with QFIL

But after starting there was only how to choose between English and Chinese, my question is: How could the previous Rom, have the option in Android to choose several languages, but not in this?

Is there any ROM currently for Z5 Pro with the option to support multiple languages?
[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] anonOmattie:
the rom your phone came with is an unofficial ro, not from lenovo. the official rom only supports English and Chinese. no other options are available as this is officially a china only phone.

sadly, there is no (custom) rom available with multilanguage support.

[Lenovo Z5 Pro (No GT) Q&A, Guides, Development] StormPhoenix93:
I actually found a workaround for it xD it involves rooting the device. I went through all the trouble doing this beforehand and tried multiple apps to try and help with notifications thinking it could be an issue with doze or something - but nothing ever worked. I actually relocked the bootloader as I wanted to upgrade to the newest software and Android 9 but notifications till remained an issue. I unlocked the bootloader again and noticed that the TWRP recoveru doesn't work with this new version anymore. So this is what I did if anyone is interested:

Flashed the 355 firmware with QFIL tool and then followed the guides on here for rooting the device and installing TWRP.

After this I used a module on Magisk called Systemize apps or something like that which basically turns downloaded apps into system apps. I figured that maybe this would bypass whatever power saving setting this rom has with third party apps.

After this I enabled notifications for the apps needed, then went to the security app on the phone and added them all to whitelist and the same for autostart.

I didn't touch any battery optimization in the battery settings and all of my notifications are working perfect now!!

Quite a workaround to add each app individually as a system app instead but it finally works and it's been working brilliantly this past day :)

Hope this helps whoever else is struggling with notifications!

Here is a PDF with all packages from the EVR-L29 and most Huawei devices and how to remove them without root. Each package name is listed along with the description of each package (if applicable) and whether or not each package is safe to remove. Use your own common sense on removal of some of these. Obviously if you want the stock dialer and contacts then don't remove the Android Dialer & Contacts packages. You need ADB & Fastboot extracted to a folder on your PC and you have to open up a command prompt in that folder.
