Hi all,
there are already a couple of threads about the new Android 7/N upgrade but I would like to focus here on user reported changes.
- First thing I notices is the improves camera app. Having access to full manual as well as various filters on the main screen is great! It also have touchless shutter. Not sure this is that exciting, but we'll see.
- Split screen allowing used to have 2 apps at your finger tip at the same time (this is probably an Android update)
- on the down side, I have not managed to set my custom launcher as default home... will have to look into that.
-> FIX: install nova launcher and go into its own setting screen, from there you can successfully set the default launcher (including an other launcher then nova itself!)
Misc and fixes:
- a significant good news for me (certainly not one I expected) I can now get Uhealth in French!!! This is brilliant
because as some of you might know, however much the system can only be set up in Chinese or English there are apps that trick ALL the apps to believe the system is in a different language (I use Locale More Pro).
For instance, I use to have Zui set up in English and all the apps 'in Local more pro) in French. Great thing, but the system apps that don't exist in French go back not to English but to Chinese... Bad thing.
So the great news here is that since they seem to have developed french for Uhealth so with my settings I no longer have to use it in Chinese!!!
- Also when changing the language to something other then english or Chinese, the phone app no longer crashes.
Ok guys, feel free to add what you found or what you gathered from Zuk
Cheers,
------------------
Please don't post questions about Z2 plus or about how to upgrade, get OTA...
------------------
Agree. I have to check the uhealth thing with German. Most annoying thing is the launcher Problem... Cant set a different launcher as standard.
I set Google Now Launcher as my default. After upgrading some apps may force close and it will default to the ZUI launcher but you just have to change it back and after a few times all the apps will open properly and it should all be good.
It would have been nice if they had completed the English translation of the ROM. Maybe its just Lenovos attempt to get us all to read Chinese!
Though has anyone figured out how to get the Easter Egg working?
FYI on AnTuTu I'm scoring 144315
There is a new equalizer, Snapdragon Audio+. You can access it in audio apps such as Spotify (go to Settings-Equalizer).

Here is a new fixed issue I found:
When using an app to change language for the apps like LocalMorepro, the phone app no longer crashes!
So we are getting very close to a multi-language phone!

Is it working with the Zuk Z2 Plus aswell?
Can anyone kindly provide links for it?

If you want the highest AnTuTu score do a bootup on a cold device with all settings turned off. The biggest detractor on benchmarks is heat.
Nice antutu score after I updated:
(fresh reboot, screen brightness on minimum, cleaned memory with safecenter)
Has anyone found the new Android Nougat daydream/screensaver function? It seems to be missing from the settings. I use chronus, a homescreen clock/weather/calendar widget that also has a daydream / screensaver function, but it wasn't working in ZUI 2.3 and it's still not working now.

Where do you access that setting? I can't find it... But I don't have a 2nd SIM installed at the moment, maybe that's the problem?
My LTE keeps switching from 5 bars of Band 4 to one bar of Band 2. Massive battery drain.
I am unable to deactivate SIM 2, only SIM 1 gives the option.

MIUI 2.10.12 ported from MIUI Passion.
I spent a fair lot of time trying to find the best MIUI so suit our HTC. And trying different methods for diffing and mods, from 2.9.21 til 3.1.11, porting from crespo, maguro, passion, P500 etc. This is the only version i could get to have most of the features working.
Since i don't ask for any contribution or donation, so for whoever is not happy with it, don't use but don't criticize my work trying to find reasons why not to use it.
A thanks is enough if think it worth.
If you want to change it, modified it, and so on, do it, no permission needed.
I'm not a full (probably not even partly) developer so i won't be able to answer to your questions on a daily basis.
Use it at your own risk
Flashing instructions:
Wipe Data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Install
Reboot
Working:
- Everyrthing that works in CM10 - on top headset icon works too
- themes, lockscreen and all that
Not Working:
- torch, use from store
- you may find, i didn't yet
Hints:
- If have issues turning wifi on, put it in Airplane mode, try turning on then reboot
- if laggy long press home button to clear memory
- CPU control via toolbox app

Hi, on MIUI all apps are on the screen(s), no apps menu. T'hat's how MIUI works (if this is what you asked for). You can put icons on top of each other and this will create a folder icon with all apps you want to group and you can name it i.e apps. When installing a new app, an icon on the screen will be created automatically
If you ask about managing apps, it is in settings like usual (choose full settings to display, not common settings)

This one is better, by quite a bit. It's way more usable. I've noticed better battery life and faster keyboard input as compared to zeubea's CM10...
no bugs so far, i'll report if i find any. (apart form the system space which is next to empty)
it runs very smoothly
but how can we get 512MB RAM???? and we can't have enough free ram.. just around 30mb?
Hey thanks for this great rom. I have asked a friend to try this rom out since she has a htc legend and I don't. She is very happy with the rom but she reported back two problems.
1. wifi does not turn on (this began to happen right after she setup an APN for her gprs network) (also she tried putting the phone in airplane mode.. turning the wifi on and then rebooting.. didnt work)
2. vpn doesnt seem to be working anymore. is this the case for everyone else also?
thanks again for your hard work mate

Hi,
Yes, the memory shown under "About phone", "RAM and "Total" is wrong. The "Available" figure is accurate for both internal and SD card. These totals are coming from ported
Is there a fix for the wifi issue?
Everything indeed works.Great rom.
Lockscreen will be laggy if not changed to one without spectrum. Rest seems to work good, if not better than on other roms. Testing battery life atm.
I'm using Nova Launcher with One More Clock as my Clock\Weather widget. I've noticed that the widget does not update the time regularly - i.e. it'll stop updating after some time and it seems to be fairly random. Once it stops, I have to refresh the widget in order for it to update again. I've tried a couple of other widgets and the behaviour is the same, so I'm pretty sure it's not the widget. I've also gone and ensured it is a protected app, but still the non-refresh behaviour continues.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I don't see it with the stock widget on EMUI...
That happens with emui launcher too. All widgets which are not stock stop updating after a certain amount of time.
Works fine for me. Make sure the launcher and the apps are "protected" in the battery settings. If you want regular android behavior just hit protect all in that menu. This allows apps to keep running and update while the screen is off.
The battery saving options are turned on by default with this phone. Under settings/apps/advanced you can also allow apps to ignore battery optimizations.
If you are rooted you can also just freeze the phone manager and powergenie all together to get stuff to update etc (that's what I did)

I've done everything you mention except rooting the phone. I want a phone that works without rooting, so I guess the P9 isn't really suitable for me. Too bad, as the hardware and general design of the phone is really good, but EMUI really lets it down. Additionally, I'm not happy with the software update strategy for it either. I'm on build 134 for the P9(EVA-L09) and I've seen builds 136 & 152 in the wild for my device variant and geography, but there seems to be no update for my phone. And I have the green garbled images for a lot of the photos that I take, for which I've been waiting on a fix.

I had this issue on FutureRom which i guess waa based on l09.. reverted back to my L19 and the issues don't exist.. might be a buggy PhoneManager is to blame..
But why if you don't mind my asking? I've never used non rooted or non jailbroken phones. You get some nice additional features for free. Every company had phones with broken updates or other issues, if you wanna take things into your own hands and not be dependent on them, you know what to do
Wow that became quite the speech. Sorry :angel:

It's been working for 24 hours now updating every hour. Protected under battery settings + ignore battery optimizations under "Apps" wasn't enough, but when I also changed CPU from Smart to Performance it seems to be working. I also re-added the widget on the homescreen afterwards to make sure settings worked.
what should I do on kitkat?

Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice. Thanks for your patience. You may tap “System updates” in [Settings] >[System] to check if there is new firmware available. Or, you can also try to manually update firmware by referring to the following link.
How to update firmware on my phone?
【Release Note】
1. Enable IN Airtel/Idea/Vodafone & ID smarfren & TH DTAC/AIS/True 3rd & RU Megafon/MTS VoLTE & RU MTS VoWifi
2. Optimize fingerprint unlock speed.
3. Improve Camera performance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please download and give review about camera and finger print scanner.
PS : Reminding me of my first Motorola Moto G (1st gen) 's frequently updates ( Lenovo killed it though)
Fingerprint scanner is faster now.
Camera slightly better .. especially front camera.
Device is HD capable notification removed with VoLTE icon added in status bar.
New setting under Display named Smart Screen which will prevent screen timeout if you are looking at the screen.
Battery seems to be even better but it's too early to tell.
Face unlock improved slightly.
Yeah the device now supports Airtel Idea and Vodafone VoLTE.
Camera (Especially Front Cam) has improved a lot since last update.
Added VoLTE icon instead of previous 'HD' icon.
Fingerprint sensor is also working more fluidly and efficiently.
Face Unlock is also better than before but still needs a bit fixing maybe with future updates it'll become more secure and efficient.
Attaching a screenshot for those who complained about the Device not supporting Airtel Volte!
We can even alter the temperature of screen within display settings.
Fingerprint and face unlock has surely improved alot.
Camera has now better accuracy in portraits.
But still no support for live wallpapers.
Even, no improvement in audio through wired or bluetooth earphones.
This update removed MusicFX (system equalizer)?
For some reason my MusicFX is gone after this update. Screenshot attached, every music player i have (PowerAmp, Retro Music, Play Music) can't find the system equalizer. How do you report this (and other possible bugs) to Asus anyway?
And yes, fingerprint got better.
pls provide latest xxxxxx309 ota update zip file for
ZB601KL
The multi touch issue still hasn't been fixed. I thought it will be fixed with the May Security patch. Can anyone else check the same?

Hell Yeah No Equalizer in Play Music!

But Now no Equalizer! No MusicFX. Is there any way to Give Feedback about this to Asus.
**Update** I've found some articles(From BGR) on Google regarding installation of Snapdragon Music App and MusicFX. Originally they were posted for OnePlus 5 but now it shows that the apps can be installed on any Snapdragon Device without Root. So can anyone check whether I should install it or not? will it cause any trouble to my phone afterwards? Please Reply!!!

Yes .. Asus has atleast communicated to reviewers that it will provide bi-monthly security updates.
The updates are minor changes and not major upgrades like MIUI8 to MIUI9 or Nougat to Oreo .. so safe to assume that it will get security patches atleast.

Thanks a lot! So i tested it right away, and it works, at least the MusicFX came back and worked without the need to manually push it to system. Once you installed it, you'll be presented with 2 options when you go to the EQ screen, to use Snapdragon Audio+ or just MusicFX (look at my screenshot). Use whichever you want, it will open the same EQ screen with same setting.
I used the XDA link, there you have the option to download 2, APKs: MusicFX.apk, and SnapdragonMusic.apk. The Snapdragon Music didn't work, however. It forces closes. Don't really matter tho.

will not work.. you will have to flash the 247 fastboot ROM first and then update using the 309 ROM. Remember that with fastboot 247 ROM the bootloader will get locked again (you can edit the flashall.bat file to remove the commands for locking the bootloader). Unfortunately the fastboot method will reset your phone.
I recently bought the Honor 10 Lite and everything, from its looks to the performance has impressed me. However, I noticed a very frustrating issue with the "recent apps" function. Every time I try to switch to another app from the list, it reloads all over again instead of opening it in the way it was left.
I did my research and found that tons of other users using EMUI 9.0 or above are facing this and it is happening due to Memory Management. I found and tried all the alternative solutions like lowering the screen resolution, changing the "App Launch" settings to Manual in the battery options, disabling the apps from the "Battery Optimization" settings from the Special Access menu etc. but none of it works. Some have also mentioned to Disable or Uninstall the stock launcher to get back to the Oreo style Recent App card list as a solution. But I am scared to do that, as it can affect the future updates for sure.
It seems like our phone's forum hasn't been quite active so far. Its obvious as its a new device and people are yet to find and talk about issues here. Anyway, there is surely a memory leak which is causing all this. The remaining memory is always below 1 gb which is unusual in a phone with 4 gb of RAM. And it is due to this, the apps are being reloaded in the Recent Apps list to free up more RAM! I really hope Honor will look into this and find a solution in the upcoming update!

Some have also mentioned to Disable or Uninstall the stock launcher to get back to the Oreo style Recent App card list as a solution. But I am scared to do that, as it can affect the future updates for sure.

I have an Indian version of Honor 10 Lite. And I am using a different launcher already. So you are saying, I can disable or uninstall the stock launcher and the updates wont be affected? You sure?
I wrote about this to Honor India's official page in Facebook before few minutes. And their reply was quite typical. They wanted me to turn off the android system and transition animations to free up the ram and stuffs. I clearly told them that this was a memory management issue as others described it. But they gave me this irrelevant reply!
I just bought this phone. I mean its just been 2 days. I really dont wish to regret my decision now. The recent apps keeps reloading every time I switch them. Its ridiculous!

Yeah, thats what I said too. I am using another launcher apart from the stock "Huawei Home". I have not disabled or uninstalled the stock launcher yet. Shall I do that? That is what i am asking!
A lot of people have said that uninstalling the stock launcher will free up a lot of RAM and also enable the Oreo styled recent apps card list which will solve this app reloading issue!
I just contacted the Huawei customer care and a lady advised me to record the whole issue and send the video to their service email address. I have shared this EMUI 9.0 issue faced by others as a feedback to them too. Hope they will fix this in the upcoming update!

Yes, you can if any issue happens you can just reset your phone it will be back to normal.

I recently bought the Honor 10 Lite and everything, from its looks to the performance has impressed me. However, I noticed a very frustrating issue with the "recent apps" function. Every time I try to switch to another app from the list, it reloads all over again instead of opening it in the way it was left.
I did my research and found that tons of other users using EMUI 9.0 or above are facing this and it is happening due to Memory Management. I found and tried all the alternative solutions like lowering the screen resolution, changing the "App Launch" settings to Manual in the battery options, disabling the apps from the "Battery Optimization" settings from the Special Access menu etc. but none of it works. Some have also mentioned to Disable or Uninstall the stock launcher to get back to the Oreo style Recent App card list as a solution. But I am scared to do that, as it can affect the future updates for sure.
It seems like our phone's forum hasn't been quite active so far. Its obvious as its a new device and people are yet to find and talk about issues here. Anyway, there is surely a memory leak which is causing all this. The remaining memory is always below 1 gb which is unusual in a phone with 4 gb of RAM. And it is due to this, the apps are being reloaded in the Recent Apps list to free up more RAM! I really hope Honor will look into this and find a solution in the upcoming update!

Hey,
I can confirm this. I've got a model having 3 gb ram. I am using Microsoft Launcher and deactivated everything related to battery to test it out.
1. Closed all my apps via recent apps
2. Then I opened a folder in ES Explorer and went back to homescreen.
3. I went into gallery and watched a video for 60 seconds, back to homescreen.
4. I went into Facebook and read an article for 60 seconds.
5. Going back to Es Explorer (No matter via Homescreen or recent tabs) makes it reload completely.
This definitely is not related to not having enough RAM.
I also can't deactivate my Huawei home, it is greyed out. Right now i am seriously starting to hate that phone.
Alright I got it working more or less by uninstalling Huawei home via adb. it's not perfect (3-4 keep open mostly), but with the switch to card style in recent apps it finally feels not as sluggish as before anymore.

Remove battery saving mode or some apps automatically optimized by phone manager or other solution is to keep that app in app assistant or game mode. UI is made for battery optimization and ram management otherwise you have got stock android
I have this problem too! It's so annoying. The phone is perfect besidd this problem
Just picked up the China 64/6GB configuration (RMX1931), got Google Play running, all looking good, until I ran into the following OS limitations that I've never seen before in about 10 previous Android devices and at least 20 different OS's:
- I can't change the default launcher. Have seen tutorials for what must be previous versions of ColorOS on Oppo devices showing that the launcher can be changed under Additional Settings > App Management > Default App. In this version, App Management is in the root options menu, but the Default App menu doesn't include a launcher option. Attempting to set a new default launcher from within the new launcher app just doesn't take--no matter how many times I pick "use as default launcher," upon hitting home I go right back to the ColorOS launcher. It's mind-blowing to me that Oppo would have the shortsightedness to lock out one of the most key features of Android customizability...surely there's a way around this, has anyone found it? Because the stock launcher suuuucks.
- I can't set vibrate-only notifications. I can for ringtones, but not notifications. There's no "None" option for notification sounds, and no option to enable vibration or choose a vibration style for notifications. Unbelievable.
- I can't change the default SMS app. Well, I can, but the OS automatically changes it back to the stock SMS handler every time I receive an SMS, and I can't find any way to disable this.
Much obliged if anyone has found any workarounds to the above issues that they can share. I am REALLY excited for someone to come out with a way to flash stock Android on this thing. Great hardware value, but this stock OS...for the most part it's fine, but it's blocking functionality that's been available on every Android phone for the past decade. I can't imagine what the software team behind this was thinking.
Wow. Good for me I did not pre-orded the european version yesterday, I'm using Nova Prime launcher on every phone for years and also textra, that's a no go for this phone for me now... And I have no doubt what you say is true.
One thing tho, I'm french, saw a french review of the X2 Pro a few weeks ago, and the guy clearly said he installed textra and adviced users to do so, and didn't share any complains so...
But right now I'm gonna stand with your testimony and hold my purchase, thanks for sharing mate and hope you will find a solution if there is one.
It could be due to the fact it's a chinese version.
I guess EU version on pre order on the official site won't 'suffer' those limitations.
Let's wait for more feedback

I also have the Chinese version of the phone to the 8GB 128gb version. I also cannot change the launcher or change default applications. Hoping a custom or global ROM will come out so I can flash it over. I also have weird black lines that appear in my camera sometimes but only in my room I've noticed doesn't do it outside. they show up in the picture or video but when I'm in good lighting or outside they don't appear. Just in my room regardless of how the lighting is it's super weird. Otherwise the camera is pretty good. Can be a lot better with some software tweaks. Also when I swipe down on the home screen some of the phone is still in Chinese even though it's set in English. I can't get Google assistant on it either. It has its own built-in called breeno but it's all Chinese. Otherwise the performance of the phone is great if you could get oxygen OS on it it would be perfect. Battery life is really good currently at 50% 9 hours and 11 minutes of use and 4 hours and 11 minutes of screen on time. Charging a super fast and I typed all of this using talk to text.

Install your preferred launcher first, than uninstall default launcher with adb commands (many guides about that), you are good to go.

Just to check, you've done this and it uses the other launcher? It doesn't just leave you without a launcher?

I have done it when I had Oppo K1 last year, same Color OS. And don't worry in case of any problem you can always factory reset to fix.

Doesn't work, on attempting to delete system apps, including launcher (com.oppo.launcher), I get the following return:
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Can uninstall other apps no problem with adb commands. Also, this is a unique error return; the error you get for trying to uninstall the wrong package name or a package that doesn't exist is different.
It looks to me like changing the launcher or permanently changing the SMS handler on the Realme X2 Pro will not be possible without root. I do see that there's a test version of TWRP out for this device, so I'll try getting SuperSU running and uninstall the system launcher that way.

So sorry to hear that, and so nonsense that Oppo (Realme) isn't allowing for a simple launcher change. Just because of those stupid things I'm not buying any phone that can't be rooted. But X2 Pro will get root eventually.
Just to add something I just saw here : https://youtu.be/UjmvlHZuD8s?t=451
Almost one month ago and dit not seem to have any problem with changing original launcher to Nova... ?

This looks to me to be the EU rom and is probably an EU version phone.

You mean an EU version? It definitely looks like the launcher restriction is an issue with the original chinese versions and there still appears to be no clarity on whether anyone has managed to get the EU rom on a CN phone.
The EX on the version number looks to me to indicate the global versions and this seemingly prevented people flashing it on the X2 so I suspect the X2 Pro has the same problem.
Just try pocco launcher guys.
Very light and looks like near to stock AOSP experience
Changed launcher without any problem at all. Process is straightforward as in any other android .

True that. I have the EU version.
Just tried lawnchair, and it replaced pocco in my heart
Sorry, can't get to use Nova.
Im using NOVA, but sometimes seems a little buggy... Have to block and unlock again to come to normal.
Install your preferred launcher from play store first
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher

Yes, I've done this and can confirm it works. More detailed infos here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
HOWEVER: Nova's Google companion does not work well. I often cannot slide to the very left and then I have to play around with the auto start and energy saving settings.
Also ColorOS keeps changing certain notification settings. Spotify and my Podcast App don't get shown on the Lockscreen, the settings are simply changed back without me doing this. And my calendar widget "Todo agenda" is often not populated with data and becomes useless.
For me, it's a pretty nasty mix of annoyances and shortcomings right now and I'm not thrilled by the Chinese version at all.
I will try to flash the EU Rom, but haven't seen it uploaded anywhere yet...
If that or future software updates won't solve the problems, then I will sell it again.
