[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] jebish7:
What is this?

- sGSI of ZUI 10.0/ 5.0 from Lenovo Z5pro/Z5, based on Android 8.1.0, June 1,2018 security patch.

Since this was requested in some comments, I flashed it and found working for our device flawlessly, with some bugs.

Features?

-All features of ZUI 4 + Soft Charge, gestures, multi space ( dual apps ) etc. Split Screen is also available.

How to flash?

ZUI 10 :

1. Download the flashable zip from the links.

2. Boot to twrp, and wipe dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor.

3. Flash the zip.

4. Reboot.

ZUI 5:

Method 1 : (Recommended)

- 1. Download any treble based 8.1.x rom and ZUI5.0-sGSI.zip (link below).

[Please use MIUI 10 8.11.1 by Narshi Shukla as base ROM, as it seems it's Vendor is most compatible.]

2. Extract the zip in your storage. You will get three files ( two flashable zips and one folder "sGSI.....". [Folder name might differ, there will be only one folder, so no worries])

3. Boot into recovery and take a backup.

4. Clean flash treble based Oreo ROM that you downloaded.

5. From your twrp, use file manager to move " sGSI...." folder to backup folder of Twrp.

6. Mount system and vendor and wipe cache/delvik, data and system.

( Don't wipe firmware and Vendor )

7. Goto restore in your twrp and restore the system from "sGSI....." folder.

8. Flash the remaining two zips.

9. Flash magisk if needed.

10. Wipe cache/delvik and reboot. Done.

Method 2 : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78389810&postcount=320

(You need treble based twrp, search if you don't already have).

After following all these steps, if your phone is stuck in Lenovo powered by android screen for long, then force reboot the phone and it will boot up to system.

What works?

-Here:

Call,SMS, VOLTE, Data, play store, Utouch, Fingerprint , Navigation, Double touch to wake, GCAM, Face Unlock, Hotspot, Banking apps, nearly everything.

What doesn't work?

- ROM specific. Bugs depend upon the treble ROM that you used as base. In some ROM, system sounds does not work. In MiUI 10, video recording might not work. Game Mode has some issues with global apps.

*FOR VIDEO RECORDING - see this : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78219358&postcount=93 ****

*Update GPU drivers for VULKAN support. Link in the links section.***

Performance?

- Better than ZUI 4, smooth as butter, no stutter playing games like PUBG, notifications on time, decent SOT.

Can it be used as daily driver?

- Yes, if you can live with some Chinese texts in certain apps.

Any other thing?

- Because the ROM is ported from Z5 which has a notch, total area of the notification bar cannot be used. To see things like real time network speed and battery "percentage" you have to pull down the notification bar.

What should I do first after booting the device?

- Install play store from App center. Install magisk to remove bloat wares. Install any music app, since there is none. This will make the system optimal for us.

Also, Turn "True Full Screen Mode" ON in display settings for full screen in Apps.

Install Magisk and download and install "SafteyPatch V2" within Magisk to pass safetynet and hide banking apps in magisk hide to use them.

Open security app and give all important permissions to the apps you use, including system apps. Also include them in autorun/whitelist section.

******************************** FLASHING ISSUE ******************

While flashing this ROM, try to follow the guide above as strictly as possible. Use the ROM that is recommended.

If you are facing bootloop, download the vendor that is provided and restore it in twrp and then flash patch 1 and 2.

Also remember, during each and every step, your TWRP should have system and Vendor mounted. Check after every step.

Your phone might reboot once or twice during first boot, which is not an issue.

How to know if you flashed it correctly?

-If your phone boots into the system with "Lenovo bootanimation" , you flashed it correctly.

If your phone is stuck in "Lenovo - powered by android" splash image for more than 5 minutes, you got something wrong.
