Hi !

Yes I'm french ZTE have released the Nubia Z20, it's the same as the Nubia X but more advanced / advanced I think it would be better to buy this one, and in September it will come out with an official global ROM, I received my nubia X 10 days before the Z20 so lol ducoup I try to sell it now after if you still want to buy the Nubia X it has dropped to 300 € so it's also a great opportunity finally if you want I can sell it to you lol.

For my overall opinion I would say that it is frankly not bad, Snapchat works in 60fps and launches in less than a second, the battery has a good day, the camera is not bad too but in low light it still remains to improve, also for example if I'm on snapchat and I switch camera, the next time I open it I'll have to press OK and change screen. there is no button "do not ask me" as on the main photo app that it changes directly screen, imprint scanners on the other hand if I record several fingers not walk or walk after the 20th test lol ducoup I have my thumb recorded after I have not tested that much, maybe I'm recording badly or whatever.

After this is the first phone to have two screen so it's normal that there are things to improve. this says it's still the class to have two screen at the beginning I make believe that I have a single screen (the one from the back) and people make fun by saying that I have a screen rotten and soon that I return it they haha ​​bugs.

Finally here I personally think you should take the Z20, just the speaker in the back to make calls shows how they push the idea to the max.

I ordered mine with a global ROM too but I think they did exactly the same as me, when I received it I had no pre-installed apps, not even the music app, the launcher was quickstep, i could update magisk etc but no more, there was just not the message that said my phone is corrupted at startup but that's it.

Maintain the ROM I do not know because I think I have done the trick if it would be a treble rom that I would have managed to carry there yes but there is already everything that works and more if I can sell it for the Z20 I could just help since my memories lol ducoup I do not know the only things I could bring this would be in the box addnal tweaks, I just see that there is a magisk module for Lawnchair to have access to the recent apps ducoup now I have a little animation when I close an app.

Salut !

Oui je suis francais :cool: ZTE ont sortie le Nubia Z20, c'est le même que le Nubia X mais plus perfectionné/avancé je pense que ce serait mieux d'acheter celui-ci, en plus en septembre il sortira avec une ROM global officiel, J'ai reçu mon nubia X 10 jours avant que le Z20 sorte lol ducoup j'essaye de le vendre maintenant :laugh: après si tu souhaite toujours acheter le Nubia X il a baisser à 300€ donc c'est aussi un belle occasion finalement si tu veux je peux te le vendre lol.

Pour mon avis global je dirais qu'il est franchement pas mal, snapchat marche en 60fps et se lance en moins d'une seconde, la batterie tient une bonne journée, la caméra est pas mal aussi mais en basse luminosité ça reste quand même à améliorer, aussi par exemple si je suis sur snapchat et que je switch de caméra, la prochaine fois que je l'ouvrirais je seras obligé d'appuyer sur OK et changer d'écran. il y a pas le boutton "ne plus me demander" comme sur l'app photo principale qui elle change direct d'écran, les scanneurs d'empreinte par contre si j'enregistre plusieurs doigts marche pas ou marche après le 20eme essais lol ducoup j'ai que mon pouce d'enregistré après j'ai pas plus testé que ça, peut-être que j'enregistre mal ou quoi.

Après c'est le premier téléphone à avoir deux écran donc c'est normale qu'il reste des choses à améliorer. ceci-dit c'est quand même la classe d'avoir deux écran au début je fait croire que j'ai un seul écran (celui de l'arrière) et les gens se moque en disant que j'ai un écran pourris puis dès que je le retourne ils bugs haha.

Enfin voila personellement je pense qu'il faudrait que tu prenne le Z20, rien que le haut parleur à l'arrière pour passer les appels montre à quel point ils pousse l'idée au max.

J'ai commandé le miens avec une ROM global aussi mais je pense qu'ils ont fait exactement pareil que moi, quand je l'ai reçu j'avais pas d'applis pré-installé, même pas l'applis musique, le launcher était quickstep, je pouvais mettre à jour magisk etc mais pas plus, il y avait juste pas le message qui dit comme quoi mon téléphone est corrompue au démarrage mais c'est tout.

Maintenir la ROM je sais pas car je pense avoir fait le tour si ce serait une rom treble que j'aurais réussi à porter là oui mais là il y a déjà tout qui marche et en plus si j'arrive à le vendre pour le Z20 je pourrais juste aider depuis mes souvenirs lol ducoup je sais pas les seules choses que je pourrais apporter ce serais dans la case additionnal tweaks, je viens de voir que il y a un module magisk pour que Lawnchair ai accès au applis récentes ducoup maintenant j'ai une petite animation quand je ferme une applis.

Hi ! Thanks a lot :D By optionnal do you mean at the Gapps part ? Does OpenGapps say an error in TWRP ? If you reset your phone after flashing OpenGapps it will not uninstall them, because you erase only the /data partition (and Dalvik/cache) so maybe you mean you re-flashed everything, in this case i don't know why it is stuck after flashing the Gapps can you try to do the first wipe (Data, Cache and Dalvik) after flashed OpenGapps ?

when you say

your phone shouldn't reboot two times because you don't wipe anything in this step. To reboot you just swipe "reboot" after flashing the OpenGapps zip file ? Windows recognize the devices at boot and in TWRP, when you reboot your devices does windows make sound like you un-plugged your device and plugged in again ? If yes check that you can't access the file on your devices (the phone launch an autorun for windows where in TWRP you can access the file in the devices) and try to see if its in fastboot mode by typing in admin or with sudo

fastboot devices[CODE]
If nothing changed after that let me know, i will try do follow my post step by step maybe i forgot something ;)

[QUOTE="hellraisertg72, post: 80112550, member: 6973608"]wow! well written - I get the feeling that you enjoyed it very much ;)

I have the X and I'm not so happy with it. It's basically a v3.05 version, but I bought it with a "Custom-ROM with Google-Play and German languagepack preinstalled". Generally it works and I think it's a cool piece of technology, but some things bother me: I can get no GPS-fix with GPS-Only-Apps ("speedometer"-apps), the AOD is lightly lit (no black where black should be). Did you happen to experience those things before you made your own ROM?

I tried to "downgrade" this customized ROM to the official one like posted in a nother thread, but it stops after 50% or so and says that it doesn't work :-/ Can you please advise me to make it work?

OR - do you think I can try to root it and flash TWRP onto it (as it is shown in some threads)? Or will it brick?! (I know, it's a difficult question ....) Or should I try your ROM? As I understood your way of installing, you tried NOT to wipe everything first?

Maybe you could help me a bit :)
Thanks alot in advance!

Hi :D ! Yeah I have learned more than that I could have ever imagined !
I myself also have bought it with a "Global" ROM but it is basically what I did, there is just the pre-installed app removed and the playstore added and vbmeta disabled to allow changing the boot partition (magisk update for example), I just tried the GPS with "GPS test" and I also can't have any signals I have to turn the airplane mode to have one satellite but I couldn't do it again (I will try outside after this post).
For the AOD I had exactly the same issue you need to switch to sRGB mode in Settings -> Display -> Screen display preferences -> Natural mode.
[QUOTE="hellraisertg72, post: 80112550, member: 6973608"]but it stops after 50% or so and says that it doesn't work :-/[/QUOTE]
50% ? do you mean the JOS things at the first boot ? Or when you go in the Recovery and update it with an OTG usb ? In the last case you can't downgrade with this method you need to flash with fastboot like I did for this ROM and reset everything (I didn't tested to downgrade but i read that you must reset it to downgrade).
you can't brick it if you use the .exe provided by nubia but because its a "global" ROM (so not official) it will probably say "this devices is corrupt" in this case you can flash vbmeta.img to bypass it but in any case you can't brick it at the point of not having fastboot so if it don't work for any reason you can always flash my ROM by fastboot and try to keep your /data partition (I didn't tested to have the settings from another ROM and then switch to my ROM but as the Android system is built it should work without any problem. Maybe you will notice some "blabla is not responding" or "blabla has crashed" but in this case you just need to reset the problematic app). Mine was already rooted, I got kicked off the battlebus for cheat in Fortnite because of that :laugh: you can download Magisk Manager and see if its already rooted
