It will make things a bit accelerated. But last year Mi Mix3, Vivo X21 were part of Pie Beta, but OEMs rolled out updates on their own timeline only.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

Actually, you can get gestures and pass full saftynet .

Just get props config module for magisk and change your device fingerprint to Pixel 3 on android 9.

Might need pix3lify module as well.

This might break fingerprint reader. Not sure (I change a lot).

Hi,

Has any anyone got a camera app to work that supports 4k 60fps video. The latest Oneplus Camera shows that feature but dont know it is real 4k 60fps. Can someone verify it as even open camera only show 4k 30fps

My take on Android Q

This is my take on Android Q

a) Very easy to install. Take maximum 5 minutes though it will wipe all your data

b) For people who use the camera a lot, they must avoid this build as both Gcam and Asus Camera don't work. The Snapdragon camera app is bad. Let us not talk about it

c) The phone is very smooth compared to Zenui

d) Fast charging doesn't work for me

e) FM radio is present on the phone

f) Volte doesn't work.

g) No navigation gestures on the phone

h) No face unlock and double tap to wake/sleep present

i) Dark mode is present

In all except for the camera, in all other respects, it is worthy for daily use.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysovski:

Surprising for me Footej Camera works the finest among all the camera app I have tried. It has 4k 30fps video, Raw photos, Hdr photos, and all working fine. It is not crashing on my phone. There is a clear loss of quality but I take photos in Raw and just edit it in snapseed.

with the zenphone 6 just released it looks like the zenui will look pretty much like stock android.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] ajbash007:
We should spam asus to give 5z users zenui 6 and newer optiflix 2.0 and audio wizard 2.0.

why should zenfone 6 have all the fun:silly::silly::silly:
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
5Z will get the ZenUI 6 with Q update for sure.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] ajbash007:
Yeah i figured this out after android Q beta was launched. It turn out to be fully stocked.

But i am kind of hoping they can provide ZenUi 6 with next or later OTA'S. Coz android Q still isnt gona be availabe at the end of Q3 or starting of Q4.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
They cannot discontinue their trademark OS on such short notice. Plus they will have to utlize their developer team's bandwidth to develop ZenUI6 on Pie which they clearly don't want to. ZenUI6 will be exclusively for Q and above. All those phone which won't be getting Q update will run on ZenUI 5 for the foreseeable future.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] ajbash007:
but in zenfone 6 they are running pie with zenUI 6. Thats a pie based rom. And i dont think its gona be any harder to implement zenui 6 in zenfone. There is no such hardware issue for support. Well i think if even 30 percent of user can mail them about it they can bring it at the earliest.

I like zenui 5. After samsung custom UI its the only custom UI that i came to like. But still its an advancement. I just hope we can get it ASAP within couple of months.

the almost stock android on zenui 6 still has all the goodies you find on zenui 5. So very stock look and feel for zenui6 but still retaining the many customisations of zenui5, looking forward to seeing it on the zenfone 5z

Yesterday I installed the following Gcam mod apk

For those who don't know, there are two versions of the 2018 Zenfone 5, the Zenfone5Z and Zenfone 5 nonZ. (Not the 2014 Zenfone 5)

We are users of the Zenfone 5 nonZ variant, and we do not have a forum for our model, so we use the Zenfone5Z one instead. So can you please not be a jerk?.

I will ask again the same question that the other user asked, because we weren't answered. Did anyone tried this on the "normal" Zenfone 5? The nonZ variant?

Despite warning by senior member i flashed the Android Q Beta 3. Forget about bugs, The performance is similar to a snapdragon 625 device. I feel there won't be any Android Q release, they won't be able to fix that many bugs. If they do somehow you'll lose out many features, you better try a budget snapdragon 625 it'll outperform 5z in every aspect after few months from now. ASUS has intention of selling only new handset and they enjoy voiding warranty and certification of innocent customer who has no idea what's coming for them.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] ajbash007:
well they will, but 5z will be there second prority as the launch of zenfone 6. Its early beta build. It will take upto beta 6 to get most of the things stable atleast. That's why i didn't go for android Q yet. Android P is just working fine for this device.

What "security loophole" are you talking about? and what do you even want "complete anonymity" for? and what "IMEI issue" are you facing?

My thoughts exactly.

Switching back to Pie after waiting fruitlessly for the next Beta.

Major issue that got me switching back is the unreliable battery, seemed to eat up a lot after watching a movie, even locally.

Most of the optimizations are half-baked and I presume Asus hasn't done much to make it compatible with 5Z.
