Assistance to choose a good custom rom - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Hi guys. I am reading the forums to the different custom ROMS for the ZUK Z2, but I am having trouble to choose the right one. I hope you can help me - I am looking for something close to stock android, support of the U touch gestures and phone calls recorder. Also, Could you recommend only stable roms that possibly offer OTA updates? Many thanks.

You prefer nougat or Oreo?

Well, either one would do. I am currently on Nougat, but I do not mind switching. Whichever one is more stable. Thanks

If you want as less bugs as possible;
You should be on nougat. I recommend jaguar N. Only issue may be battery life according to some users, which is not there according to other users. So try and see if it suits you.
Other updated ROMs include dotOS.

Best Custom ROM For ZUK Z2 Plus 2017?

Heya, Im new here, not much of an expert at Mobile devices.
I recently bought a ZUK Z2 plus at 50% off at an online store (Very Bang for Buck I would say).
But I've seen some reviews online that said the ZUI and battery life is bad and other bad things.
So I need help deciding which ROM is best for my preferences:
-Great and optimized battery life
-A LOT of customization(Phone UI, audio, etc)
-VoLTE Support
-OTA Updates
-ROM updates NOT DISCONTINUED and still goin
-Great camera quality
-(EDIT) Still has stock camera features such as slow motion at 120, 240, 960 fps and 4K resolution(960 fps slowmo not that necessary)
-VERY GREAT Performance(Gaming and overall usage)
-Stable ROM with nearly no bugs
-If possible, great audio jack quality (speakers too if possible)
-Android 7 (Oreo support in the future if possible)
-At least near to latest security updates
-Doesn't require to install and do other things just to make some features from stock working(Hotspot, Wifi, GPS, etc)
-Doesn't degrade other types of performance like wifi speed and bluetooth(Better performance if possible)
Anyways, my phone is still not with me and will arrive by Dec 10, the site said.
Forgive me for my high standards, I just want to make the most of my new phone and I want to be prepared before it gets here.
Also if its possible that I got my phone BRICKED af, please help me unbrick it.

Your requirement meets Jaguar ROM.. give it a shot. But my personal choice is AEX 5.0
I guess you are asking for too much, and with such stringent requirements, I guess you should go ahead and create your own ROM. Yet, if you wish to compromise on advanced level of customization, Jaguar ROM is the best in case you have the 3GB RAM variant, very fluid, minor bugs (in fact not bugs, only a lack of few advance tweaking features)

As this ROM isn't as famous as AEX or RR,
We might be needing convincing proofs.
Either share your experience detailing SOT and performance, or give list of exclusive features that you found amazing.
Just try if you wish. There some trouble in initial setup of google apps that make this rom less successful. But once you done everything it is the best ROM

Saw thread, almost no support. First let it be stable for Gapps. How did you installed Gapps? How long you've been using this rom?
Just a question,
Does resurrection remix still update the z2 plus?
Also AEX seems nice and H2OS too

The download link is working, but is there a thread of the rom? I can't find it
Youtibe videos are there as reviews. I get it from there. i couldn't finde xda thread. Threads are in zukfans Europe group.
Look @ benchmark

Do's and don'ts

So I am switching to the One + 5T, I am coming from the Axon 7. I have alot of reading to do to catch up to current activity. I am curious if someone could assist on what to do and what not to do to quickly optimize my experience with this device. Are there certain update to do and not to do to avoid getting to a point of no return? I am not new to romming and unlocking the potential of devices.
On devices previously, it was better not to do certain updates due to locking yourself out of certain features and abilities that rooting and flashing custom roms provides. Mostly I would like to know what not to do, as I will read through all tutorials and instructions to find what best works for me. I would like to get the device I will be using daily up to speed.
Are there kernels that are better than others for battery like without compromising performance?
I read that 'codename phoenix' is the only ASOP with full OEM camera functionality, Is this still true as where I rad that could easily be dated with all the support for this device?
Any guidance or answers are greatly appreciated. To this device I am a noob, but not to the helpful community atmosphere XDA can provide
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Fellow enthusiast.
+1 for OP.
Wondering also what are possible benefits and drawbacks of using custom/modded version of kernel?
I couldn't get the OOS portrait mode to work on codename phenoix. In my experience codename phenoix had the worst camera experience. Every app like Snapchat and instagram had camera bugs and other ROMs don't. I also recommend flash kernel on any ROM. Rock stable and fast AF . there's always a way to get back to 100% stock and locked bootloader. I have net heard of a fully hard brick that couldnt be fixed. So go for it, even if u stay on OOS then later choose to go custom roms.
I'm on custom ROMs using gcam v6 beta. Its way better than OOS cam. I'm using the HDR front cam fix and I have the pixel 2 portrait mode on front and rear. Way better than OOS portrait but only work on human faces. U can also use this on OOS but with the fix it breaks face unlock
I'm in the same situation here, I'm getting my OP5T tomorrow and I've been reading XDA non-stop for a week trying to figure out the differences between the popular ROMs and Kernels so I know where to start.
So far I've come to the conclusion that Flash Kernel (for custom Roms or OOS) and RenderZenith (for OOS Stock only) are probably the best kernels around if you want performance and stability. Franco Kernel would be for saving more battery probably sacrificing performance.
And for stable ROMs (I don't care too much about customization, I just want stability and performance) either Omnirom or Liquid Remix.
Of course that it's really hard to judge without even being able to try them first and just reading lots of comments about each one, so I think I'll start with these first and see what happens. I've also seen many people recommending Resurrection Remix.

Tbh u just need to get them and try them all. I was like you. I made my mind up, that I would stick to RR when I got it. But I've tried most of the ROMs now, and tbh they are really similar in features wise. Some have little bits and pieces which make you stay. For example on cr droid u can customise the alert slider to toggle auto rotate and force rotation off etc.
Some ROMs lagged for me, some had delays when waking the screen, some didn't have proximity check when in pocket. Its up to you. Personally. Any time i'm on a custom ROM, I just flash , flash kernel because I know its amazing and lag free.
Ive been using Cr droid with flash kernel for weeks bug free with flash kernel for weeks.
I spent like one morning. Downloading all the ROMs, wiping and flashing them all without gapps so the install Is quick and just go through and looking at everything. U will be suprised how similar lots of them are. Its the little things that I look for.

Thanks for your reply!
I'm thinking the first days I'll keep OOS and maybe flash "Flash Kernel" or "RenderZenith" since apparently it gives the smoothest experience and then I'll start flashing ROMs. I really like the idea of ROMs with OTA updates like LineageOS which I currently have on my Moto G4 Plus because then I don't have to continuously check the forums to see if there is an update available, do you know of any other custom ROM that does this? Also, when you update a ROM, do you have to flash the kernel again each time?

Yeah the custom kernel needs to be reflashed. So the ota will update but u will still need to flash a kernel which to me defeats the purpose of an ota. So I just manually do it. Also kernels get updated often too. OK what I recommend. As soon as u get the phone. Unlock the bootloader and install magisk. And stay stock for a while. Try out the camera (I miss the OOS cam with that awesome 4k stabilisation) but gcam is better for the rest. And then try custom kernels. I didn't really notice much difference on oos with custom kernels but on aosp I noticed it fly.

Awesome! And one last question if you don't mind, I'm pretty sure the phone will come with Android 7.1.2 and my understanding is that the latest OOS version contains Oreo. After hearing about all the bugs Oreo brought, should I stay in Nougat for now or is it safe to upgrade to Oreo? I don't mind staying in Nougat for now if it means I'll have better battery life and/or stability.

Oneplus last nougat update was 7.1.1 and the Oreo update for me has less bugs for me and has better battery life. Custom kernels can fix battery life ?. Wouldn't recommend to stay on nougat. Everyones on the Oreo train
TBH i feel that the stock OS is fine performance and battery wise and there is not much point rooting and installing a custom ROM unless you want even more customization than what OOS gives u
I think you're better off running the stock ROM (8.0 or 8.1) and stock kernel first on any new device, at least for a few days, to get a baseline. After that try different kernels and/or ROMs if you're not satisfied with stock.
Unless you have the stock experience you've nothing to compare custom mods to.
And to be frank, OOS is a pretty awesome AOSP mod anyway and any difference a kernel is going to make is in the margins.

I bought this phone a month ago and still using till now. After trying all stock and custom roms, I have my own choice, just simple, stock 5.0.4 rom (or beta 5 rom) + your favorite kernel (up to you) + stock camera mod (it's a must if you need better quality photos) + magisk (for camera mod) = stable daily use for me.
I have been using for over a week and I think it's going better with time, so far so good now, average 8 hrs SoT (15% bettery left) within 50+ hrs is about the same as my old Mate9, still less than custom rom 1 hr SoT but no problem for me (the phone comes with Dash charger). I also use Xposed with GB that's why I dont need custom roms anymore.

Here you are:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/mod-oneplus-camera-jpg-quality-to-100-t3714595
the title is for Oneplus5 but it's working well with 5T also, no problem so far. I used to use Gcam but after days I realized that it's not much better than stock mod cam. In addition, gcam shutter speed is slower than stock mod cam and it lacks of many feature from the stock one. I can say with stock mod cam, OP5T photo quality is better than my Mate9 right now, Im sure for that. (with original stock cam, it's the worst but with stock mod cam, it's much better than many cams out there, no more noise and grain in low light)
I've just come from mate 9 , bought a view 10 last week , really pissed at the camera/video lack of eis makes it unusuable.
Received 5t a few hours ago flashed beta and took some snaps video and I'm impressed

If its so good, why is there no big discussion thread on it here? Any rom without a big discussion thread where users can report their experiences or issues, tips, fixes, etc, is like flashing a rom on the blind. Maybe it is a good rom, but I need to hear that from at least a 100 other users, and only a big discussion thread can reveal that.
Super, great rom !! Three questions: 1. how long the battery life, 2. how to lower the "dock", it is too high or is very wide, I do not know, 3. can you turn on badges with notification numbers? Thanks.

I flashed 11_2_19 built it is latest but anyway maybe I've to flash it again, btw when they gonna make thread here
I installed this rom yesterday. the start was slow, many features were lagging behind. today, rom has stabilized and is running very smoothly. The battery is best - 10h. sot and more. I have to say that I installed a lot, a dozen reboots, wi-fi, you tube. the battery is very good!

Question Best custom rom

Hey,
I have a Poco F3, I unlocked the bootloader recently, and I want to know which ROM should I get or is the best for you. I tried xiaomi.eu, but I prefer AOSP/pixel (I tried some, but I can't make a choice). What is the best, I know for now there is crDroid, Pixel Experience Plus but unofficial, Pixel Extended, etc Should I wait for more stable, official or new custom ROMS ?
What are the pro/cons or features of each ?
|
|
Edit : anyone can share his opinion here and/or ask on this thread
|

Thanks in advance !
In terms of features you can't get more feature rich then crdroid. Most ROMs are rock stable and the one main missing feature dt2w is going to be coming in the next week or so. I'm currently using pixel extended and I've had no problem and am thoroughly enjoying it

Thank you, I'm currently using crDroid but the lack of Google Apps bothers me. I was using pixel extended but I had some bugs. I might retry, I'm hesitant for now with pixel experience plus too.

ps : it nice not to rely to much on Google btw
Thanks for all the response, I am waiting for more stable releases, but for now I'm with pixel extended still with some bugs, but the best that I've tested so far.

OK, thanks !
Running Lineage on mine, with Quantic kernel, Micro-g, I am getting insane battery life, This phone has been an amazing upgrade for me after being on Mi6 for over 3 years.
for a beta Build, I have yet to run into a single issue, everything is running smoothly.
I have the feeling this phone will receive lots of love from developers and will have custom roms for years to come.
Edit: on my build I have finally fixed battery drain when, double tap, ambient pick-up, or AOD is enabled, it makes no difference, my phone dozes beautifully at night. How is it with other ROMs?
The key for me and everyone i think is the kernel, no matter what I changed with the original kernel that comes with lineage the phone gets no doze, only when I use Quantic + Lineage everything is 100%.

Did you flash the kernel only via TWRP or is it TWRP and fastboot dtbo?
Also, have you had issues surrounding running apps like Google Maps or Kodi? They install and boot up but crash seconds later.
best currently MIUI BASED rom? ive tried miui.eu but ive found some bugs.

I believe there is a telegram group, I don't have telegram or any other chat app so I rely on XDA. I am using my own Frankenstein build though, where I borrowed features from all roms but I use lineage as base.

Nice! If you are comfortable sharing a build I would surely try it once I receive my device, I've been on Lineage for years!

Need a custom ROM -- help me

I hate the stock rom of A2 Lite. Too slow and the background apps keep reloading. I need a custom rom, I already asked on other threads and no one seems to care. I'm a noob, never flashed so I don't have experience and the support is terrible around here. Please tell me which custom rom works fast and stable as of now. I need Gapps and Instagram to work, banking app, google maps. Also no bugs with incoming calls, audio or fingerprint sensor please. I don't care if it's A11 or A12, it just needs to have fast performance, battery life and background optimization. And most of all Instagram, since all the mods seem unable to run it decently. I ask for your help, thanks in advance.
Try Derpfest 12. Daily driving it currently, and still pretty good. Reminds you tho that this 5-year-old phone is already kinda slow in general because of the old hardware, so it aint gonna fix it like magic.

Thank you, I'll give it a try. How does it work with ram management?

Not great, not terrible. I tried a lot of ROMs (especially Android 11 and 12) and safe to say I can't tell the difference between them. So-so, if you ask me.

So you mean it only changes the aesthetics? If that's the case I'd rather stay on stock rom at this point..

I've long gone with stock ROM so I can't compare it. I've heard that Android 12 have more optimization compared to 11 though.
But again back to my point: even though it might fix some of your ROM bugs and hiccups - it's still not magic. Mi A2 Lite is a 5-years-old budget phone. I still got some slowdowns and crashes, no matter what ROM I use.
I mainly change my ROM because I need some features that only available in Android 11 (or 12).
If you need stability you can go back to the original android 8 rom where this phone was fantastic
For my part i need the settings of dnd that where implemented on android 10
