Android 8 "Oreo" coming to Z2 Pro? (officially/unofficially) - Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers

I mean, why not? There is no technical limitation.
Sent from my ZUK Z2121 using Tapatalk

You can be 100% sure we'll get it unofficially. We have official support from AEX, I presume in 1-2 months fist Oreo builds will be here, and we have mokee official support too.
I doubt about official release but we may see it in December/January.

Until now there should be no technical limitations.
Developers of z2_plus got boot successfully Android 8 with few things broken. The changes between z2_plus and z2_pro are few.
So if z2_plus gets it, they have more devs, it is very likely that we will have it.

Thanks cosmedd, that would be a great thing! Maybe LineageOS 15?

yep, davide has a test branch for lineage-15.0 [1] but don't worry, as fas as I know, he still working on AEX.
It would be easier if CAF relase an Oreo kernel [2] for msm8996 but there is already custom kernels for Android 8 and our device. [3]

Hi there! Any news about that?

I know a dev from AEX was working on it but still no news.

For all interested ppl under us, i found this side -> LINK <- There u find the most different point between android nougat and oreo

I want to see if the phone will really be faster. Google said "2 Time faster" but when we see results on Pixels and Nexus it looks false. Just like IOS 11 who need a lot iPhone performances. Looks like Google and Apple are sleeping.

The claim is that boot times will be 2 times faster and from what I've seen that's the case.

You really should use the xiaomi.EU rom, not the miui official rom.
The English is cleaned up and the developers have fixed bugs.

I used to be a huge fan, now I dislike this rom a lot. This rom actually made me buy a xiaomi phone, which i regretted. Their official forum is super cluttered with all kinds of unnecessary questions and people posting there are not very technical, which makes it very hard to troubleshoot issues. Mostly, people are begging for an update on the forum
After this bad experience, I bought an N5 and kept it stock. Never been happier

Yeah the battery is a bit bad. I have to charge it every day at about 23:00 when i go to sleep. I don't use it much at work but yeah, the battery does drain pretty fast. Still, Never had a phone with 2 days battery life so it doesnt bother me I have to charge it every day. I prefer to have a super responsive phone with battery issues , instead of a xiaomi phone with lots of bugs and stuff in its system and good battery life. I guess its the lesser of two evils for me.
Still, wouldn`t recommend anyone mi phones,

Is it worth it?

So I'm about to change my OPO and I have 2 candidates: OP3 or Z2 Pro.
I'm wondering if the Z2 Pro, in your opinion, will have the same development in the future.
My biggest concern is having a choice if I don't like the stock one.
Do you think CM or other ROMS (Slim, PA, etc) will come for Z2? Or should I just go for the OP3 (which i didn't yet because of high demand 5 weeks shiptime and the camera which seems better on Z2 despite having less MP)?
We have to wait and see how development will be in future. There are some people working in it but nobody knows how it gonna end. Hardware side both units are so close. But OP3 is much better developed and maintained.

Yea, I know. That's why I'm so in doubt. Owning an OPO I know all the development effort put in that phone. Unfortunately there are no other options that I know of with snap 820/6gb ram and between 5/5,5". Even the new Mi5S will be 5.7" in the plus version so that's a no go for me. Same for the LeEco and the Zenphone 3 deluxe.
So my only choices at the moment are getting an OP3 and wait 5 weeks for delivery or take the Z2 pro and hope there will be some development.
God, it's so hard to choose.
Any owner of the Z2 pro can tell me how the stock roms is working? Any bugs? It's a stable phone?

Used ZUI Chinese Rom (Languages only English or Chinese) for awhile before switching to Unofficial CM13. Everything was working fine in ZUI, just didn't really like the UI and everything looks IOS-like, so i changed over to CM13.
Unofficial CM13 is very stable, only noticed two bugs which aren't really major:
-Vibration is not working
-Facebook videos not playing back properly (Not sure if it's an issue on facebook's side or CM13's side)

Vibration for me is not so minor issue. But apart from that, I'm afraid that all the developing can stop out of nowhere (or even worse, never begin) for this phone. Where can I find the CM dev thread?
The phone is awesome,
I am using stock rom with Nova launcher.
Nameless rom is now being developed if that is your kind of thing, I and others have donated to get support for this so I think it should be good, just need to wait for the launch.

I suggest you also join Zukfans.eu forums for lots of info on CM / Mokee and roms and updates.

The nonplus version has only 64gb rom, dunno about ram (will see tomorrow). Also xiaomi phones don't have the lte band 20 support (800mhz) used in europe (this is a must for me). Add to this the fact that you are pretty much left with MIUI (xiaomi phones don't have much developing). A xiaomi phone isn't more worth than an op3 or z2 in the end. The only thing I like is the double camera, but we have to see how it performs yet.
Also I already own 2 xiaomis and they have some annoying bugs, so I'm more inclined toward something else.
But we will see once they are announced tomorrow.

Is OnePlus 3T worth paying 60% more over the Zuk Z2 Pro?

I'm debating between the 128 GB versions of both phones (comparison table) and don't see why the OnePlus 3T should cost that much more. The only disadvantages I see in the Zuk are the lack of NFC (don't need) and having only one (multi-purpose) button instead of three. Anything else I'm missing?
OnePlus is officially updated by several custom rom developers while Zuk Z2 Pro is mostly dependent on few voluntary developers. Oxygen OS is more customisable than ZUI OS.
Thanks, but is there any reason to go for the OnePlus if I intend to stay with the stock ROM?
Do you want custom roms? Do you want a phone from dead company?
Enviado desde mi ZUK Z2121 mediante Tapatalk
Not interested in custom roms.
As for dead company, I'm currently in China for a few days and want to buy a phone. In any case I won't be able to use the warranty if something goes wrong - be it Zuk or OnePlus. Also , it seems there's a shortage of OnePlus 3T 128 GB, so that pretty much makes the decision for me. Zuk it is (unless there's something really bad about this phone that I need to be aware of).
Coming from Oneplus 3 & 3T I can't see the justification of paying the extra £200 more for them.
With Lineage CM13 using the same apps on the Z2 pro I don't notice any difference in performance. The lack of development could be an issue but in my case if a ROM works why change it?
If the next Oneplus uses a better display & Xposed for Nought comes out I might consider another Oneplus.
Is there any disadvantage to installing CM13? Coming from a Note Edge, I'm not impressed with ZUI, at least not after having the phone for a few hours.

The problem with most roms is the lack of source code available. Maybe that rom is good or maybe is plenty of malware... Who knows. Furthermore, no publishing the source code violates the GPL, but who cares, right? ?

I didn't know manufacturers were obliged to release source codes.
As regards malware I use Xprivacy and apart from contacts I do not have any other personal information on the device. Also I was under the impression CM based ROMs with the latest security patch which is currently 1 April 2017 was safer then stock.
Its up to you what to do or don't with your phone, but check rom threads from 3t or zuk z1 for example. What is the point of hidding the source?
If you check GPL rules you will know what code must be publish by manufacturers or anyone and which parts don't.

I don't know what the decision of this friend will be but as a ZUK Z2 Pro user, my next phone will be Xiaomi Mi6. That is pretty sure, consider it.

Any Thoughts On The Direction Of Future ROMS/DEvelopment, etc...?

Hello All!
Well like everyone, I want a nice phone, but of course being the Geek that I am, I love to hack and tinker on phones.
I've been really researching and reading around online, still in search of that Modders Dream phone, and will all the choices out there, it's just not easy figuring out, at least I'm still looking. Problem is, all the latest cool phones that have recently come out in 2018, like anything, development will take time.
So I'm trying to figure out which phone(s) might be a good choice to go with. As some may of read, OnePlus donated some 6 phones for free to XDA developers, that certainly made that phone look promising for the future, but the cost of the 6 is a little over my budget.
So, with all this said, I currently have a Mi A1, and the development seems like it's been really good on that phone, which makes me think that Xiaomi phones seem to be popular with development, at least I hope the Mi 8 will have just as much development going on as the Mi A1, or better.
What does the future hold for this phone, any thoughts on this?
Hmm
Thanks

I'm patient, that's not the problem, I guess it's to early to tell how the development will be. I assumed if the Mi A1 was as good as it is, then this should be better, but that's a cheaper phone, easier for people to get, therefore more development, more expensive phone, less people can afford, less development...

Honestly, I think the best "tinker" phone right now is the Oneplus 5t. Solid hardware and a very big selection of roms and mods. Xiaomi phones tends to be good also, but you need to wait a year or two before it really picks up.
I have an Mi A1 and it's great, so it made me think to get another Xiaomi, but then I really had my eyes on the OnePlus....
To many bloody choices... LOL

there was an instant of Mi8SE kernel source was released for 2 months+, but there wasn't any development for custom ROM so far.
Of coz it might really means the establishment for this phone wasn't wide enough and the population wasn't there, due to the price. These contributed to late or lack of ROM development.
It also could due to there are many new development in the android world such as Android Treble and Android Pie which is more fun and trendy for the moment.
So, the wait will really had to be a bit longer then usual.
But what is the usual?
That will be the primary question now.

Yes. I'm aware we are talking about Mi 8 which running on SD 845.
What I referencing is Mi8SE had not had any development even they had the kernel source released 2 months before.
However, I wish I'm wrong on this and had custom ROM development as soon as the kernel source released.
Time will tell...

I wanted one essential phone for a long time, but I need dual sim and don't really want to bother with bluetooth adapters so skipped that one. Have a OP6 and MI8 now. Like the MI8 more but a bit bummed I can't get custom recovery to work flashed so have to fastboot the recovery each time there is an update.
We have to wait for the kernel source from the Mi8 to get the best experience out of custom roms.
We got treble, but not everything is working well with Treble roms.
Hope Xiaomi will release the source shortly

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro). A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
At two months later from launching, there isn't any active dev project for this beauty. Very sad!
Yeh.....device three partially hidden.... Impossible to do anything
But even q/a section is dead... And no complains... Must be low demand for Poco
It's mind blowing, with these specs for that price I'd imagine the dev scene would be thriving like it did for the first F1.

Agree...i paid 400euro for mine .. and let me tell you... It is a beast of a phone... Only thing that i miss is micro sd card.... Otherwise super fast....
But the support we are getting is almost none existant....
I came out of era galaxy s1... When chainfire started developing su....and we had 30 roms easy... I swear i was flashing the phone twice a day... And it took 30 min each... Not like now..
Here at this stage...all we have is a hope...that some developer will get his hands on poco.... And do the magic....

Yes...common practice nowadays.... So they unique software can not be copied or ammended immediately after release.
Even samsung does it sometimes.... Hide parts....
Android is open source....aka they hide only bits...but important bits....
Again...we have to wait..sooner or later they will disclose it

Well this is worrisome.. hopefully there's still hope for good ROM developers create one for this device. Was buying because of the track record of poco F1 thriving community, didn't expect this at all. :fingers-crossed:

And we got it. It's good, is working and without official support... What means 'official' in out times? Is any custom rom, twrp, custom kernel is 'official'? Interesting discussion can be, racja ?

We got a chinese TWRP. This means it's not open source and can't mount system. We're very far from having a good TWRP man :crying:

In fact, the problem with TWRP right now is that still doesn't support Android 10 launched devices features like dynamic partitions which is the new way Android manages system and other sensitive partitions (like vendor), so even OnePlus devices doesn't have a fully working and functional TWRP...
Anyway, maybe we just need to spam Poco board through Twitter to get some attention around development for f2 pro
I had a Mi Mix 1,2&3, there were some custom rom but they were all awful, poor performance or poor battery life. That's why i stopped buying Xiaomi with their ****ty MIUI

I want to stay tuned with this forum in order to buy a phone only after there is an UNBRICK procedure. I am tired to risk for these phones watching only the specs value for the money. Is not enough to have a complete and durable experience.
