Hi,

I updated from AEX 6.4 to 7.3 today, clean wipe. Looking good! One problem that I was hoping would be fixed is Screen Cast, but I still have the same problem as before updating. I can find my TVs (both Samsung and LG), but as soon as I try to connect to them Android reboots itself.

I wonder whether I'm missing a baseband or firmware update, but I'm not sure how or where to check for the latest ones? Any other ideas? About screen shows Baseband version M8996FAAAANAZM-1.70664.3.76387.1 (but if I recall correctly this number doesn't always change when you update it).

Thanks for keeping AEX and this great little phone alive. Recently put a new battery into it - wasn't easy! - which has given it a new lease of life for me... :) Unfortunately my case is wearing out and not many places are selling accessories any more. I have a spare but don't like it nearly as much as the one I originally used.

ETA: Never mind, I finally found this (google search seems to be better than XDA forum search!)

https://xdaforums.com/zuk-z2-pro/how-to/radio-modem-basebands-zuk-z2-pro-t3715835

...and I had already downloaded the latest/recommend file in 2018 so I guess I'm as up-to-date as I can be.

I have installed this rom and I don't know why but the sound (record function for sound) does not work when I record a video. I tried with whatsapp, snap... It does not work?

My mic phone works as I can record audio message.

Do you have an idea to solve my issue?

Thanks
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jack Ryuma:
I had the same issue and to solve it, I had edit the build.prop including there the next lines:

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence

persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true

persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=true

persist.audio.fluence.speaker=true

Then the sound appeared :D

I just flashed the latest Version Yesterday and everything works fine, but for one thing. I cannot get any connection to LTE/4G.

Preferred network is set to LTE and *#*#DATA*#*# tried some configurations but that didn't lead to any success.

Does anyone have a similar issue? And does maybe have a solution?

did you flash the latest baseband?

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

I have problems connecting to my wifi, it always says "network connection could not be established" when I press connect

I'm using the latest AOSP Version

I have flashed aex 7.0, battery pains， switch to arrow OS 10
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Annihilannic:
Why not 7.3? What kind of battery pains... is it a new battery? The Zuk Z2 Pro is pretty old now, and the original battery is almost certainly dying - mine ended up having to be charged multiple times a day before I replaced it.

How is Arrow OS 10?

The only problem I'm having with AEX 7.3 (apart from minor screencast issue mentioned previously) is occasional random reboots... anyone else?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] beginor:
I have replaced the original battery with a new one this year, With AEX 6.7 , every thing works fine for me, and the battery is ok. But with AEX 7.3 , the battery works badly, almose need to charge three times a day.

With Arrow OS 10, every thing works fine, and the battery life is pretty good, just like AEX 6.7, and with the Nameless kernel, the battery life is excellent！One charge daily most time.

PS: For screen cast, I use scrcpy .
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] splitterfaenger:
I did flash the latest baseband I found in the Baseband thread. That didn't help. Then I tried this :

Solution: Thanks to [MENTION=4628393]vickdu31[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5686701]juyer[/MENTION] there is the following mini guide:

___________________________________________

- Download 3.5 latest baseband from this post

- flash it with twrp.

- Extract .zip of baseband

- Reboot to fastboot

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash modem NON-HLOS.bin (this file is from .zip baseband)

fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst1

fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst2

fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot

___________________________________________

I tried that with latest Baseband (4.something) but had to use latest 3.somewhat

Maybe not the right place but its happened after trying this aosp rom.

I think my zuk z2 pro is (half) bricked. It was working fine with prevous aex rom but I thought it was time to update rom.

I have copied the rom to phone and started in twrp recovery to install aosp rom and got error 7.

I have tried to get in fastboot to update twrp 3.4.0-0 and wiped data, cache, dalvik etc. Then I got the same error 7 and vendor message in twrp when I try install aosp rom.

Qfil not worked for me. Download fail: Switch To EDL FailFAiled to Swit to Emergency Download mode.

With adb I get now error: device '(null)' not found.

What can I do now after tried different steps. I don't know which is the best step and how to unbrick?

-install another twrp?

-How to transfer and install rom now, by recovery, adb/fasboot, qfil?

-Need stock firmware or doesn't matter?

My phone was rooted.

I appreciate any tips and help.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ..-=S.O.R.i.X=-..:
Try to use an older twrp-3.2.3-1-z2_row.

It should fix the error 7 code.

Which version of twrp do you have used before this experiment? 😅
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] delimavi:
I don't remember the version of twrp before experiment :)

Next question:

1. What is the best way to install older twrp-3.2.3-1-z2_row, from adb, qfil or can I transfer the rom to the phone from recovery/bootloader?

2.Must I do a wipe? Before or after flash twrp of rom?

3.Which rom can I install/flash first? Stock rom is better to get the phone work I think. Is there a specific version which required and how to flash, from adb, qfil?

There is a lot of information about unbrick but there are outdated or not worked for me.

I hope with some tips and help I can bring life back in my zuk z2 pro
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tiggerle666:
As far as I understand, you still can access fastboot mode on startup and flash new versions of twrp?

I just had a bricked phone again, it took me many hours to find out, what went wrong:

The main problem is that when you connect the phone with USB, it shows up as COM 900 and not as COM 9008.

In my case, I the different button combinations didn't work to change that mode (but sometimes it is possible look for an older post of me). If this doesn't help, you need to use a deepflash-usb cable (basically you remove the isolation of the green and black wire and hold them together) while plugging in and simulatously press power + vol down. Then your phone will switch to 9008. Now you should be able to use QFIL. In my case the installation of QFIL was broken and I just had to reinstall it (before, it always had many error messages). And you have to start the download process in QFIL very quick after you connected your phone in 9008 mode.

You don't need adb at this stage, the command "fastbood -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp_xyz.img" would just be enough to flash your twrp.

Hope this helps, just reply if you need anything and I'll try to help!

Have to report that after playing around with AOSP10 also for me no sensors worked. They work in ZUI (all versions) but not after you install AOSP extended 10. I consider this a BUG of this ROM that the sensors get messed up. Further details to solve it see:

https://xdaforums.com/t/zuk-z2-pro-...able-by-twrp-adb.3716596/page-2#post-84441589

By the way after dirty flashing from AOSP 9 to 10 I had to delete the file WifiConfigStore.xml in the folder /data/misc/wifi/ so that logging in into WiFi connections was possible at all ...
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tiggerle666:
For those who were complaining about the missing U-Touch functionality for Zuk Z2 pro - it has been working ever since in all versions, from Pie to Android 10. Just go to Settings - Extensions - System - Buttons and scroll down

Bug is only that the functions are incrorrectly labelled. The labels mix "tap" and "press" the function descriptions, "swipe left" is labelled "single tap action" and "swipe right" is labelled "double tap action". But if you realize that and ignore it, everything can be fine. Although I have to admit that after wiping and reinstalling AOSP the swipe function didn't work anymore (but had to reinstall AOSP because otherwise receiving SMS wouldn't have worked :-D )

By the way, in the German translation of the built-in "gallery" there still is a translation error: "gallery" is spelled "Galerie" in German, but is written with 2 L there. This mistake hasn't been corrected for many many years :-D

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nermain:
Hey, so every single ROM I tried (that was available and wasn't uploaded to google drive in 2017 and is now unavailable) is OK at first, until it starts lagging and eventually in a bootloop for hours until it's available again. I tried 5 or 6 and this one, every single ones does this. When I flash the original ROM I don't have these problems. It's just sad to have a great phone like this be useless. It's also sad they stopped updating it. So I am going to sell it cheap and buy a xiaomi, probably 10t pro. Cheers for your try.

Hello! :)

May someone point out to where to download these AEX v7.x ROMs?

What is the most recommendable version? :unsure:

Thanks and regards.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] craftandbuild:
Hi, I found a MEGA upload by someone else on the AEX thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-11-0-0_r32-aospextended-rom-v8-0-official.4251413/post-86120747

It has a 7.x and some 8.x versions.

Edit:

The last version I used was 8.6 afaik, which didn't have major bugs, so I recommend testing the

AospExtended-v8.6-z2_row-OFFICIAL-20210920-2301.zip

from this archive, if you had issues with the newest version.

The one with

AospExtended-v8.6-z2_row-OFFICIAL-20210924-1811.zip had a bug as far as I remember.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Barkuti:
Honestly, after having tried a few Arrow/AEX 10-11-12 Android builds, all I can say is… pity. Warning message windows when directly executing install apk files and other security pesterings Windows 10 style, the scoped storage thing (which is a nuisance for people who knows where their arses are), and the newer non-dismissable notifications for many stuff.

This and the new and huge status bar pull down buttons in Android 12, it's like a small debacle. o_O

Just my point of view, of course.

You can force dark mode on all apps with option in developer options

Unfortunatly, Magisk root don't work with this rom. :-/

I have been experiencing random screen locking during normal use (be it during gaming, scrolling through web etc.). Happens from start of using latest version, I just tried to see if there is some pattern, but cannot find one.

It does not look like inactivity lock since lock is instant without screen dimming.

Does it also happen to anyone else or is error on my side?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nininikos:
I have the same issue randomly, but it is happening maybe once or twice a day.

Thank you for this great work! I use this ROM as daily driver now since two days and it is quite fast and has only minor bugs as far as I can see. The search function in the settings crashes every time you try to use it and I have the impression, that the battery doesn't last as long as with the latest official version of AEX, but nevertheless it's very usable as daily driver.

Hi,

First of all, congratz for this awesome rom! I just switch back from a nougat MIUI after AEX 6.7 and this alpha rom seems pretty decent. :) So far everything seems good except one weird thing. A few hours ago the wifi on the phone stoped working. I istalled a ton of apps from play store over wifi and later my wifi connection is gone. The phone sees all the network but it can't connect. It ask for password even if it was already saved and used. After writing password again it says can not be saved, can not connect to the network. Non working. 3 other phones and two laptops has no issue at all. What is wrong?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hör.ich.da.ein.mimimi?:
I had this issue too with the xda App which you can download on the xda website. I solved it when I renamed the downloaded file manually from .bin to .apk. Installation was perfectly fine afterwards, I haven't checked if this works with all apps.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] janl.123:
Yes you are right. My issue was installing any downloaded app, more detailed the GCam apps, because they always come from websites, not the playstore. I'm just using Lucky Patcher because I can install apk files with it. I'm sorry for confusion.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Oriwen:
Oh, seems like I assumed bit too much, sorry.

Anyway maybe its system/app related, I can install any app from either stock file browser or kiwi web browser I am using. Cannot install from Total Commander, not even prompt is coming up.

Have you tried forgetting the network and add it again?

Sorry, nothing better for you from my side.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nabuccoo:
No I can't do it because the network does not saved at all. Every time I tap on it, the phone asks the password than it says failed to save network than failed to connect to network. :/
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nabuccoo:
Just an update if someone wants to know. I found the problem the hard way. I did a clean install again. After that wifi worked normal. When I tried to restore my saved wifi connectoins with Titanium Backup I got the same problem. I hade two kinds of backup (the green one and the xml version). I choosed the green one when the problem occured. I did a clean install for the third time and tried with xml and it work, no wifi problems and my saved networks are restored. So don't choose the green one. :)
