Hi this is my first post been using this site for a while now and finally decided to register.
I have the ZUK Z2 Pro which i installed the mokee rom on initially but with the rom i had issues such as the camera and calendar kept on crashing.
I then decided to try the AICP rom which seemed like a decent rom but with this rom i have noticed the battery life isn't that great and it takes ages to charge the phone aswell.
Is there any rom out there which is complete with everything working and no issues?
Also do any of the rom support fast charge as i don't think the mokee one did and it doesn't seem like the AICP one does aswell.
Im not too clued up about custom roms as this is my first phone which i am trying it with for example if you buy a Samsung or iphone they are updated on a regular basis and they don't really seem to have any issues regarding apps crashing etc.
Also the other thing which i have noticed with custom roms some apps do not work like with AICP snapchat doesn't work and I have also read some banking apps don't work aswell.
Looking forward to some feedback and advice.
Thank You.
Resurrection Remix Maybe? you could try
Well I've tried almost every custom rom available and I can say that I've encountered the same issues as you.
Have you tried Resurrection Remix? the latest update appears to be very stable, it's like AICP but with a better autonomy regarding battery life. I haven't found any big issue so far (putting aside the u-health/heart sensor not functioning).
Sadly I always go back to stock sooner or later as it is fully functional if you ignore the big ass problem with the notification panel which is pretty much the main complain about this phone in every corner of the internet. This last time I had to go back due the fact that my bank app stopped working regarding some update Google pushed to prevent custom roms to pass SafetyNet which is a bummer because RR was almost perfect for me. I tried to flash the latest magisk but for some UNKNOWN reason I lost my speakers and no matter what I tried I couldn't get them to work again until I went back to stock.

Hi,
I've just downloaded RR yesterday there was a release of the latest version which i was going to try and see how that is but i think most custom roms have issues such as there will be something which doesn't work.
How would i go back to stock if ive installed a custom rom?
Thank You
Here you go

Hi,
Just a quick update i've installed the RR rom yesterday so have been using it for a while and all i can say is this rom has been really good for me.
Battery life with this rom has been amazing i'm really surprised by it.
Some apps still don't work like snapchat doesn't allow me to log in, i'm not sure about the banking apps as i haven't tried them yet.
Overall really happy with the RR rom will see how well it is over the next couple of weeks and see if i notice any bugs with it.
Hope that helps.
I managed to log in to Snapchat by configuring Magisk Hide on the Magisk Menu, just make sure you check the Snapchat checkbox in order for Magisk to keep root hidden from Sanpchat.
Hi,
I'm really interesting by your experience because i think to change stock for a custom and if I could find perfect rom directly, it would be cool.
This Phone is very cool by the way !
I will follow this thread with attention,

Hi,

Thanks

First I flashed this through TWRP, it's a Magisk Uninstaller: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4174453&d=1496871083
Then I flashed this beta version of Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4199816&d=1499018891
After that you need to set Magisk up: Go to your phone Settings > Magisk manager, go to the Menu and select Settings you can activate Magisk hide right there.
Now go back to the Magisk manager Menu and select Magisk Hide, there you can find every installed app, just search for Snapchat or whatever app you have problems opening and check the little box on the right.
Aaaaaan that should do the trick, cheers.

Hi,
That's how i have been trying it but its still not letting me do it like that.
I've bought Zuk Z2 Pro and Xiaomi Mi5s, but i want to stay with Zuk.
The problem is that I don't have much time to mess around with ROMs and stuff, so I need a stable realease for daily use, otherwise I'm gonna stay with Xiaomi Mi5s.
So my questions are:
This release of RR is stable already or would be better wait some more?
Or the Indian ROM is more stable than this one?
Sorry if this is not the right place for this questions
Hi Henryke99,
I've tested pretty all the custom roms wich use android 7.
RR is very stable, very fast and good for battery life, and I've not noticed any bug. But there still is some chinese stuff to desactivate or uninstall, and it does not follow all the android security patches (also it's not an "official" rom).
So if you are not obsessed like me by security, and don't mind to not have the lastest ROM, RR is a pretty good choice.
But for me, AEX is the best because it's updated very often, no major bug, no chinese stuff, very stable and fast too.
It's an "official" ROM, wich mean the developper is pretty active and correct the bugs when they appear, so for me it's an important point too.
I hope this would be helpfull for you!
I recommend RR. It's very fast and a nearly perfect battery drain. Actually there's security patch of June. In comparison to stock roms of most well known smartphone producers (Samsung, Sony, Apple) an update frequency of two months is no problem for me.
I've tried out AEX and AICP. They are also very nice but they have more battery drain and RR is much faster. Perhaps RR will get also "offical" status.
Hi,
after RR, AEX and AICP, now I´m back to Gizrom. It is fast, Utouch and Uhealth is working perfect. Has the best Image quality and all features that cam supported. Ia slowmo 120,240 and 960 FPS. Notification works fine for me. Coloured LED with Lightflow App (but no blinking, its permanent). Many Languages included. I use with Nova Launcher. Nearly perfect for me. I use it in german.
Good Morning. In Gizrom do Utouch and Uhealth work?

Z2 Pro
Hello everyone,
I having troubles enrolling my phone as a company phone. For doing that I need to install the App Intelligent Hub and let the app create a working profile. Unfortunately granting the Gmail app admin privileges is not working as I described it in this thread.
I've read that this should work with the EU room, but it seems that because of the unlocked bootloader the device doesn't pass all the security checks and Google pay is not working as well which is another reason to switch again.
My last chance is to flash the official China stable room as the bug with the working profile should be fixed there. Does anyone know if I would have some major compromises after flashing the official China rom? Can I install google play services and all the stuff?
Really appreciate your help.
Max
is it faster and stable for daily driver?
any bugs or not working features?
any reviews are appreciated
I just wanted to ask this too, has anyone tried it yet ? Thanks !
AFAIK the maintainer is the same guy as the maintainer from Pixel Experience. Should be the same three then. Havent tried it but maybe in a week or so will give it a try.
I tried to install it. So... I didn't see everything but the biggest problem is that open gapps doesn't install.I didn't find any solution to fix it yet. I tried the APK but it didn't work and always crash

Hi, I had the same problem and a guy on the rom telegram gave me the solution. you have to flash the picosgapps first, watch if it works and install bigger gapps after. It worked the first time for me.
Enjoy

I resolved the problem in an other way. Install ROM,Gapps AND magisk before reboot. I don't know why but Google play needs root on this ROM
have been on this build for some time and I must say that it works well and the battery consumption is good. The update is almost daily through Ota and happens perfectly, I suggest you try it ..
I can't instal 3rd party apps (apk files) in this rom. Anyone facing the same problem? Any solution? Tried installing APKs via flashable zip using twrp, but didn't work. Please help
Hi All
Has anyone got this working on the Mi 11 Ultra?
I've been playing with it for a while. You get part way through the introduction and get a generic error message saying it doesn't work:
"unfortunately this app is not working"
It would be nice if the eror message contained a permission request that had been denied so you could diagnose the issue, but no.
So far I've given it every permission I can see, but still the same problem.
I'm running Chinese ROM Stable 12.5.7
Thanks
Steve
I flashed Eu Rom weekly and it works with no problems. China Rom is just so problematic. I think it will always be unless Xiaomi decides to optimise it for people outside China.

The Chinese ROM doesn't have full GMS framework, so the covid and some other Google apps won't work fully. If you want them, flash the Global or EEA ROM but your best option to keep the best of all the ROMs is to flash the official Xiaomi EU ROM.
Hi both
Thanks for your replies. Time to unlock and root my new phone then!

The EU ROM is approved by Xiaomi Europe and is based on stock updates, stable and weekly beta versions. But yes, via twrp install and format data on first install due to partition differences between them

I thought the Eu ROM was the only "unofficial" one in the world
But this is the first xiaomi device I've ever owned or modified
Yes I mean Xioami EU rom. I believe it's based on the China ROM, but much improved. I installed a few of them on my old Note 10 Pro and they worked well.
After a battle with settings and Xiaomi's Mi Unlock, I've started the boot unlock process so Thursday next week I should be cooked.
The bit that got me was there are 2 settings you need to enable in Developer Options, namely:
USB Debugging
USB Debugging (SecuritySettings)
OEM Unlocking
Without these set, Mi Unlock displays nothing, yes nada.
First port of call after rooting and flashing for me will be checking out camera2 api. I'd like to use 3rd party camera apps with all lenses.
Then hopefully the NHS Covid app will work.

You are in fastboot mode when starting your unlock? Also try a different cable if you were. Many issues with some usb cables not, for some reason, working fully.
Lucky you.... Be glad it doesn't work.... Don't promote these Chinese surveillance apps...
On the snooping side, the firts app I load on a new phone is no root firewall:
NoRoot Firewall - Apps on Google Play
Firewall WITHOUT ROOT. Host name name filtering, fine-grained access control.
play.google.com
By default, it blocks everything so you have to check it and manually enable apps to pass through it, keeping in mind, some apps might not work at first.
If an app is trying to contact a server in China via a secure port (443) it's blocked. I recently bought a Chinese printer and the driver wanted location data and tried SSL to China so that was blocked lol.
Well after much jiggery pokery I now have the weekly EU ROM installed and the UK Covid app is working fine.
On the China ROM.....
==============
You get to a point in the setup and get some generic error message saying it might be a work phone.
On the EU ROM
===========
At the same point as above, it asks you for permissions and exposure notifications. You grant them and it carries on and works fine.
I emailed the developers about the issue and with XDA users help, have provided more info ie that it doen't work on China ROM.
Cheers

The UK covid app uses Google framework services. The Chinese stock ROM does not have Google (I think I'm right in saying that it's still band from mobiles) , the mini version is non standard and an unofficial add on. The same applies to location history, this does not work on the mini GM's that's added when the phone is exported.
The Xiaomi global and EEA versions have it built in as stock as they are for export markets.
I hope you have some luck but I doubt Google services will be allowed on Chinese ROMs for a long time yet but at least the suppliers put something on us to get started with.
Hi interesting info thanks I love these forums
Hi, I installed Wichaya's GCam APK (Wichaya's 8.1 v1.5 but when I try to open it, it crashes instantly. It doesn't happen with other camera apps. What can I do to fix this?
I think you need to install GCam Services Provider. On Los4MicroG I did not need it, but maybe on stock LOS its needed https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider

This fixed it for me, thank you very much. Pretty strange that when I was searching for a solution, I didn't come across the GCam Services Provider. But thanks again it has been solved now.
