I cannot request on your behalf. Write to Lenovo legal. The address is in settings, about phone, legal information , open source information.

You can find services that will send the physical letter in the US.

Include your email in your letter and wait for them to write black to you. It might take a few months unfortunately but they will.

This is sad. I have this device as well. Was hoping it would get android 10 at least. But it seems none of the devs have this device.
[Lenovo Z6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mahz4130:
👍 Great initiative. Hope you succeed in building roms for this device. Someone already has built TWRP for this device. Check this link.

May also suggest opening a telegram account dedicated to Z6 in order to attract more devs+custom ROM community.

Heyyo, still not seeing anyone working on it made me sad, so I at least downloaded the kernel source code, got the best CAF tag for the kernel match and then made a GitHub repo with that best CAF tag so that at least the kernel source code is on GitHub and there's a decent starting ground for anyone who wants to clean up the kernel source code and import the important bits into a kernel. ;)

https://github.com/ThEMarD/android_kernel_lenovo_sm6150-opensource

I've also included the audio-kernel as a techpack as seen in the commit history

Hopefully someone does something with this as I don't own a Leovo Z6 (L78121)

[Lenovo Z6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo @mforce2 and @Mahz4130 if you guys are interested in the work I've started so far for jd20 here it is. It compiles but it doesn't boot, so it needs more work (the kernel is mainly what I'm thinking of).

[Lenovo Z6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mforce2:
Yeah really interested in this. I don't have much time now and I'm not sure what exactly to do. I mean I am a programmer but I've never really worked on an Android ROM before.

Let's get in touch. I'll try to contact you.
[Lenovo Z6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] capricorn-1:
hello i have compiled the kernel and TWRP and it works

Heyyo, so I think I'm giving up on the jd20. Sorry guys, but I don't own one and I don't have the spare time to work on it anyways. Hopefully, someone can finish what I started. I'll leave all my source code up on GitHub on that lenovo-jd20 project I made.

Hello,

today my phone suddenly wrote to me that it is no longer possible to use google pay.

Phone Pixel 5. Stock firmware.

Google pay reports that the device is certified.

I use magical canary 23001. I have the safetynet fix module installed.

Google pay does not work. And magisk reports an error when verifying the safetynet.

Any help please?
[Magisk] andrearesti:
Just to say that the same occurred to me on a Oneplus 8 pro: Google Pay says the phone is not safe and Safetynet fails with basicintegrity (-), ctsProfile (-) and evaltype = basic. The cause seems to have been a Google Pay update two days ago (or, more probably, Google Play Services or the like, since I had disabled Google Pay updates). I have universal safetynet fix and magiskhide props config installed. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate. Let me know if I have to post more information. Thanks
[Magisk] andrearesti:
UPDATE - A guy on Reddit says he fixed it by uninstalling EdXposed. Actually, I had that module and removed it and now I seem to pass the safetynet test, although Google Pay still has some issues (I will try cleaning data and cache, and possibly do the same to Google Play Services, I am also trying to put Google Services Framework under Magiskhide...). He says LSPosed (instead of EdXposed) should be fine, which it apparently is.
[Magisk] inkaine:
Thanks for this update. Was having the same issue on my OP6T. I had already eyed at switching to a different Xposed clone since this keeps occuring every few weeks. Maybe now is a good time as ever.
[Magisk] matata86:
Great. Thanks you so much.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Lee_AF:
So, long story short... Bought a Mi11 ultra from wondamobile, the phone is half in Chinese and I'm 50/50 about keeping the phone, I'm enjoying it but I'm struggling, apparently I'm not as much of a poweruser as I thought I was.

I tried to root an old phone of mine a Samsung S8+ and I absolutely could not do it so I'm worried about messing this one up. Started the unlock process today so I won't be able to do anything for a week but I was wondering if there's anyone that's comfortable with theirs and would maybe do mine for me?

I've seen a few people suggest it can be done remotely, would happily pay to have it sorted out and either an EU or Global Rom flashed to it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated too :)

Iam the one who posted a thread to help install xiaomi.eu rom. I can help you once you are ready through zoon/teamviewer.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
I bought mine from Winds and had that mini version of Google, so I know where you're coming from. Why do you want to root? You don't need it for the EU ROM unless you need something that the ROM cannot give you. The EU ROM works on Google pay, banking apps, any widevine L1 requirement like sky go and more.

If you do root, you will need to try to hide it and that's when lots of apps fail safety net. Mine did on sky go, I just could not hide it enough but I didn't really need root, so got rid of it

You are best starting the bootloader unlock now. Nothing will happen until you have used the 1 week wait, 168 hours, then when you do, it will format, so that's the time to install twrp and flash the latest twrp EU ROM and enjoy.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Lee_AF:
I'll get in touch in 6 days or so then when I get the unlock finished :)

Is there anything else I'll need to make things smoother or anything I can do for you?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Lee_AF:
So you think rooting is a bad idea? How are you getting on with the phone now you've got the EU Rom on it? Easy enough?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
Absolutely, but why do you need to root? I use the weekly beta version of EU ROM and it's been superb. No issues, all the latest updates as it's based on the Chinese weekly beta ROM but with the best of all versions but no Chinese text or apps.

Time vs benefits. It's an invitation for embedded malware.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] hypnotoad92:
I am using a SM-T510 as a head unit in my car. I have edited the lpm file so that the tablet auto turns on whenever power is connected.

That part works fine, but when it boots up it doesn't show that it is charging or connected to usb at all. If I unplug and replug the usb cable it starts charging.

Any ideas what would cause that? Any workarounds to programmatically solve this without having to disconnect and reconnect every time I start the car?

Has anybody successfully locked the bootloader. As I can get warranty back cos my mic stopped working
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kiddownunder:
Did not seem to happen straight away after flashing.

But now, my calls drop-out like clockwork after just a few minutes.

Anyone else experienced this? What did you do?

Help?

Should I go back to a Factory ROM???
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] joscopp:
How would you like people to reply to you?

Where is your signature which would give details on the system and device you are using?

ROM? Radio?

and why start a new thread? there is a perfectly flowing thread on R8 RIGHT HERE!

jeez.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bnm7bnm:
The problem is not r8 for sure.

I use r8 since it came out and no problems like this at all,

Probably some app you installed or some tweak you made

Hard reset will solve it.

same here, using r8 and no problems whatsoever...:)

using a brain is somewhat of a rare quality. but do as you said and read the rules before starting new threads please.

there is a dedicated thread to R8. you can ask the questions there and search for answers.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] missioncontrol:
I had a similar problem and flashed back to the original ROM and back to r8. All fixed.

It started after I flashed the Syrius r0 which worked well for a while then crashed for some reason. I then flashed back to r8 and did a restore from SPB Backup (I had saved previously when running r8) the signal strength was crap, and the calls dropped out. Tried all the radio roms, and the problem only fixed after flashing back to HTC ROM and the reloading r8. I will wait till r1 comes out before trying that again. Anyway I am back with r8 and the radio is 1.58.21.23.

Hope that helps you.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kiddownunder:
Many thanks, I will flash and not reload a backup!!

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Hello, I see there aren't many cases out there for the Zenfone 8! So I created this thread for people to share their findings with other people.

Personnally, the only 2 cases that I saw that are not very cheap cases from aliexpress are these ones:

Cases​

High Protection

​

RhinoShield Solid Suit (Offers high customization, full case with optional printed back plate)

DevilCase Guardian II (Offers high customization, bumper case with a swappable clear or printed back plate)

Medium Protection

​

to be added​

Light Protection

​

to be added

To Be Verified/Tested

​

FZZSZS Silicone + Sreen Protector (Silicone case and 2 tempered glass screen protectors included)

Osophter Shock Absorbing Clear case (Reinforced corners, clear case

Shantime Thin TPU Case (looks pretty cheap from the pictures, especially at the bottom ports)

J&D Thin Clear Case

Screen Protectors​

Tempered Glass

​

Supershieldz 3 pack (rated 1 star, would wait before buying)

Plastic

​

RhinoShield impact protection

However, these cases are a bit thick (and expensive), so if anybody finds any kind of case, please post it here

Let's hope more manufacturers join in and make cases for this phone!

(I will edit this list to add cases as they come out)

Edit: I bought the RhinoShield Case, will write a small review as well as some photos when I get it (or IF I get it...)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Macilaci457:
There are cases and screen protection available at Aliexpress.

Leather, fabric, silicone, You name it, it is there.

Also screen protectors, hydrogel and tempered glass.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] wind0zer:
Does the Zenfone have a screen protector already on the screen? I've seen Samsung Galaxy phones with protector on the screen out of the box.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Unfortunately no, it does not come with a preinstalled screen protector. However it does come with a higher than average quality hard plastic case so thats a big plus!

Just applied the upscreen Scratch Shield Clear

Pretty easy application, no bubbles, feels great, fingerprints work the same as before, and it's very case friendly, a bit too friendly even for the ASUS case.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
I see many dust particles. Are they under or above the mentioned film?

And why you applied film instead of their glass?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
Oh yeah, the film was dirty when I took the pic.

Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe I should have went with glass... Oh well not the end of the world
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
Yeah, It looks like also it (film) has not good quality of the sides. like it was cut by kitchen knife instead of professional tools or laser idk. :D

Yeah. Don't worry. When this glued comes trash, just try glass next time :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Macilaci457:
I use this case: Link I like it very much. Grippier Than the original, feels good in hand.

Also tried this hydrogel protector.

It does not work with fingerprint reader unfortunately: Link
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
How protective would you says it is? So I can add it to the list (how thin is it and does it look like it would absorb shocks easily or badly)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Burgrio:
Excellent cases
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nuggeo:
I have now tried 2 screen protectors.

One full covering IMAK Pro+ (Or the kinda, names vary depending on site) and a CALANS Not-full-covering 9H.

The CALANS seats very badly and leaves air on the sides.

With neither does the fingerprint reader work properly. It is a hit and miss game of hundreds of tries to even register a fingerprint and especially the tips are really hard to register.

Seems like using a protector on this phone is a no go.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Undead_Son:
I'm still using the upscreen protector and the reader works flawlessly with my left thumb
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Tom100%:
Do not buy from Amazon the screen protectors "LEEKUANGSU [2 Pack] for ASUS Zenfone 8". They are 3.5 mm too short and the packaging does not mention Asus Zenfone 8. Just a scam.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Dave.a:
Hi, is there any screen protector which works perfectly with a fingerprint reader and can be bought on Aliexpress? Thank you
[ASUS ZenFone 8] KnieveI:
Hi.

im looking for a case that turns of the screen when closing it.

The phone is listed to have a hall sensor so it should be possible.

Just bought a cheap flip cover on AliExpress but it doesent work.

Anybody that knows about a working one ? Or maybe the hardware doesent support it after all?

Thanks

Knievel
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Tom100%:
Just got two cases from Amazon: The transparent silicone "J&D Case Compatible for ASUS Zenfone 8" and the flexible rubber, black matt, "Kwmobile TPU Case Compatible with Asus Zenfone 8".

Both are OK. I prefer the J&D silicone case as it isn't slippery. The Asus case that came with the phone and the Kwmoblile case are a bit too slippery for me - especially as the phone has a glass back.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] stefan1959:
I have tried Elyco screen protector from Amazon(tampered glass). The installation worked well but the protector was not leveled. At the camera hole the glass did not stuck and stayed a bit lifted for both protectors. Nevertheless, finger print has been working.

Alternatively, I have tried Vikuiti film but I had problems with the installation. Both protectors had bubbles underneath before I could cover the whole screen.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Josipeen:
Is anyone here using a full, edge-to-edge screen protector on their Asus Zenfone 8 that works with the fingerprint reader? Glass or otherwise.

I'm using this Aiselan protector from Amazon, which is lacking - the edges aren't even flush with the display!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] brainwash123:
I bought a cheap TPU screen protector set (2 pieces) from Amazon.de. Fingerprint might work slightly worse than without, not sure, but I don't think the error rate is much higher. I anyway had a 20% error rate without the cover.

If you are interested, I can take find the product page.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Josipeen:
I'd be interested in having a look!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] brainwash123:
It was this one: https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B094FY3MKP from 4ProTec. Just wanted a quick option until I find something better at reasonable prices. I left it on since I did not have any issues with it (except 1 bubble).

I used hard glass protectors only once, on a Galaxy, and it ruined my OLED screen when I needed to change the protector. When lifting it, the glue acted like a lever and pressed a corner of the protector into the screen. Plus it felt wrong (thick) and looks bad. Don't know why people love those "gorilla glass" protectors, it's easy to change the plastic one once it gets scratched, and is mostly invisible if done right.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Josipeen:
Thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't appear available in the US, but I'm sure there are many similar ones out there.

I also agree with you—I'm considering going with a film protector instead of a glass one. This phone already has a strong gorilla glass screen and I want the fingerprint reader to work. Of course, I also want it protected, so maybe a plastic one might be the best bet.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] hendrickchan:
I got the Devilcase Guardian II. Quality seems good. A bit too thick for my tastes. It's made of a material that's similar to TPU, dust and dirt magnet. Looks good but doesn't feel right in hand.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Josipeen:
Just wanted to update here that I was sent a new screen protector by the seller of my last one (< don't buy!).

While not perfect, this new one fits much better:

Amazon.com: AISELAN for Asus Zenfone 8 Screen Protector Tempered Glass, [2 Pcs] Black Silk Anti-Scratch Case Friendly Screen Protector Protective Film for Asus Zenfone 8 Phone : Cell Phones & Accessories

Amazon.com: AISELAN for Asus Zenfone 8 Screen Protector Tempered Glass, [2 Pcs] Black Silk Anti-Scratch Case Friendly Screen Protector Protective Film for Asus Zenfone 8 Phone : Cell Phones & Accessories

Even though this was from the US store, the seller is based in China, so I imagine they ship to multiple countries.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] majorwedgy:
Bought this one:

For Asus Zenfone 8 ZS590KS Case, Slim Clear Silicone Shockproof Gel Phone Cover | eBay

Fits Asus Zenfone 8 ZS590KS (5.9"). Made from high quality durable tough gel material to provide excellent protection. Rubberised tough gel skin provides protection and extra grip, which minimises the chance of dropping your device.

www.ebay.co.uk

along with the brotect Airglass screen protector.

Case is excellent and definitely solidly in the medium to high protection category with a lip over the screen and camera, whilst the buttons offer enough resistence to stop some of the accidental clicks I was getting.

Screen protector is usual high quality low random cracking glass protector but as with a lot of their designs is about 2mm too narrow in each direction for my liking. The finger print scanner JUST about works with this, although I found registering the prints more hit and miss than the operation. Reality is underscreen readers are garbage compared to back/side of phone which we need to be adopting.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] glehel:

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Josipeen:
Where do we buy? I don't see any purchase links on their website.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Tom100%:
It looks like there still isn't a clear high quality glass protector that fits properly for the Zenphone 8.

I bought the "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096JQNB4K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" which was rubbish. Threw it away.

I went to a local smartphone seller who was very helpful and tried out about 20 different glass screens until he found one was almost a perfect fit for size. The cutout at the top was too large but OK. He fitted it for me and it was very cheap.

At least I have now something that protects the screen and I greatly appreciated his help.

Still hoping that someone will make an actual Zenphone 8 glass protector that really is a perfect fit!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Josipeen:
Sounds like your local shop is pretty great. Between my case and this AISELAN (Amazon Chinese) screen protector, my phone won't get busted any time soon.

All that said, however, I'm wondering if we need to use screen protectors on this device at all. Gorilla Glass Victus is apparently pretty tough...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] brainwash123:
All the scratches I have on my phones are from before the protector was placed. They all had some sort of gorilla glass, the only ones that survived so far without major scratches are the Moto Razr (~2012) and the iPhone SE (1st).

Maybe someone can say if this phone can survive touching keys or metal objects without getting a scratch, then I can get rid of the protector. Until then, I will leave it on.
