Hi folks,
I'm not sure if found a bug or a feature ... however ... since the integration of SuperSU into any custom rom (CM 12 / Liquid Smooth / PA) based on Lollipop, I'm not able to install more then 8 apps alongside Google Play (sd-card / LAN / USB). Exactly after the 8th app installation the "install now" button isn't pressable anymore. The button is not grayed out or something, it simply doesn't react on pressing. Also when i use apps that needs root access, the question from SuperSU appears, but the "grant" button does not react after the 8th attempt. My internal card has 22 GB free, so that's not the cause i think. I've checked all the system security options for a suspect option, but i haven't found anything yet. Installations via Google Play works fine anyway. Under KK based roms there is no such a strange thing, and as i mentioned above, this was after the integration of SuperSU in LL based roms. Does anyone have an idea what it could be ? ...
sincerely,
LP

OK it's solved. Only deinstalling of Lux doesn't helped. I've installed the latest CM12 (from Today) and in addition the latest SuperSU (2.38). That's worked.

Hi all,
I thought it might be useful have a thread dedicated to talking ONLY about official Chinese Stock ROM.
I received my Z6 Pro with a very poor Global ROM, so quickly decided to try the true official ROM, hoping despite its weaknesses it would get far more frequent updates.
Just for reference, here is how I flashed:
Used as a guide the "UNBRICKING / FLASH FIRMWARE LENOVO Z6 PRO L78051" tutorial from boycracked
Official stock roms can be downloaded here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303091 (CN 11.1.105 'android P' or CN 11.5.229 'Android Q' or even RoW 11.0.405 'Android P')
Required tools and drivers here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303090
Some key steps:
Get phone ready (important) :
Gain access to developer options
Enable USB debugging
Enable unlocking Bootloader (it won't actually unlock it!)
Get computer ready (also important)
Install QDLoader HS-USB Driver 9008
Install latest version of QPST (2.7.474)
Flash with step in boycracked "unbricking Z6 pro" webpage or using this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/rom-lenovo-z6-pro-l78051-qpst-edl-t3947149
This are additional tips to avoid errors :
Copy/move flash rom file to bin subfolder of Qfil in 'program file' might help resolve errors
Get Qfil ready with recommended settings. Make sure “Erase all date before download” is NOT selected in configuration / firehose.
Connect USB cable
Reboot phone in EDL mode (adb command or press power + both volume buttons), COM port should appear in Qfil as "QDLoader 9008"
As soon as phone reached EDL mode and phone shows in Qfil quickly press Download. If for any reason it did not work, switch off phone again and reboot to EDL.
Ok so that will take you to official CN rom 11.1.105 which is a very stable android 9 rom released sometime in September.
Or CN 11.5.229, which is currently best choice and will keep being updated.
Now get rid of Chinese apps and install play store from the Chinese App Centre and that's it.
WARNING : DO NOT USE GOOGLEINSTALLER APK AND DON'T INSTALL GOOGLE ACCOUNT MANAGER
Googleinstaller.apk is not needed on CN roms, it will install apps that are not longer required. AND it will brick 11.5.x CN rom based phones!
Some users successfully moved to 11.5.x . Everything worked well until he used googleinstaller.apk
All is needed in CN Roms is playstore that is available in Zui App Center. Just in case make sure you don't have google account manager installed before applying OTA to Zui 11.5!
BE AWARE: There are several limitations or bugs in CN roms:
- (IF U-Touch is turned on) Can't use custom Launchers (Nova, Action...). Unfortunately they don't work and will freeze phone, make U-touch crash / no acces to recent apps. [fixed from CN 11.5.269]
- Backup to Google Drive does not work.
- Whatsapp notifications sometime don't appear until you run the app manually. (fix is simply to : (1) white list app in auto run, (2) lock it in app recent drawer, (3) exclude it from battery optimisation and (4) when reboot phone manually launch app so that it sits in ram).
- Some messaging apps' including Whatsapp's notifications won't generate ring or vibration :
FIX: WhatsApp no sound notification fix for CN roms:
- Get Notificon app from PlayStore (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=notificon.gsy.com.notificon) to trigger sound each time selected apps generate a notification in the bar.
- Works for whatsapp, but make sure you disable the unnecessary notifications there like "Media Playback" otherwise Notificon will ring for no reason and you won't be able to listen to voice memos.
- (IF U-Touch is turned on) Morelocale app (which allows to use languages not included in the ROM) also totally crash ZUI... So rom has to be used in English. CONFIRMED WORKING FROM 11.5 CN ROMS !
How to use MoreLocale to get all your apps to use the language of your choice :
.Get the app from play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
.Enable USB debugging from Developer Options and from a command prompt on PC, type this : adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
.Everytime you reboot phone, you will need to go to morelocale app and pick the language of your choice!
So really as long as you are ok to fiddle around to tweak stock app and to use English language (or turn off U-touch). ZUI CN is the best official Rom option, if you need to keep bootloader locked.
Since it is untouched stock you will get OTAs to next upgrades:
11.5.269 (Android 10) released mid-January ; it is now a very stable beta release, I used it daily and it works great.
What I noticed:
- fix issues with morelocale and U-Touch.
- Improved photo quality and camera app layout
- Android Q!
- Dark Theme
- Custom launchers now work
- Still no google drive backup / Notificon required for whatsapp sound notifications.
There NOW is a full rom flashable Qfil file available to get directly to CN rom 11.5.229. As BL remains locked and system stock, OTAs will come as and when they are released.
Please report other issues / tips for improvements.
This will no longer be updated as I have now moved to RevengeOS : this is THE Custom rom alternative we were all waiting for. Works 100% great and Lucchetto who created it also managed to port the stock Camera app which means we don't loose the ability to access all cam lenses !
Thanks
Hmmm... Actually Utouch seem to be working great with 11.1.105.
No wifi problem either.
BUT still can't set a language other than English and kind of forced to stick to ZUI launcher.
So as of now phone with Chinese ROM is enjoyable and very powerful, despite room for improvement.
As for ZUK Z2 Pro in the past, official Chinese ROM are far better than any 'global' release... But need some tuning.
PS: I love uTouch
My phone is with CN 11.0.575 and parched with the ZaZz version (The .bat 00_flashrom.bat anywhere), i already have TWRP Recovery and now is rooted with Magisk. I CAN HELP WITH AL THE PROBLEMS OF YOUR SOFTWARE, But, now i want to install the ROW Secure 11.0.284 version, i cant, i dont know if is the version of my QFIL, the drivers, but the process just arribe to system_3.img and stay every time that ypu want.

I guess this is the main issue with Chinese ROM... Whatsapp notifications don't work well.
Still running tests, but there are like 4 places to watch for to help with notifications:
- permissions
- notifications from the app setup screen
- Auto start
- Battery optimisation
....
And probably more.

Nope,
read my mini tutorial further up. You need to "enable unlocking" in developer options, but you won't actually unlock it! Hence you stay stock and get OTA !

Disabling most Chinese apps is very easy. Either from Zui home page or go to settings / apps and you can uninstall or disable what you want.
Installing google play : I did that through the app centre (this is the chinese equivalent of google play) search for google play and you're done.
Are notifications fine out of the box in last cn version or you've to set some permissions?

See previous posts about that.
To summarize, most notifications like calls, sms, emails... Work fine.
I had more trouble with whatsapp. Needs to allow in autostart, exclude from battery optimization, allow notifications... And to be safe, launch it manually after phone reboot.

Ok thanks
I don't know if SafetyNet works but I definitely can use my banking apps without any problems.
@dreamytom What modules do you use for magisk? Is there any repositories for modules yet?

I use Advanced Charging Controller (to stop charge @ 90%), Systemless Hosts (AdAway Adblock), and Twemoji (Twitter Emojis).
Magisk has its built-in library of modules, but you can find some Magisk Modules also on GitHub, like Twemoji or 'SELinux Permissive'...

Why do you need to control the charging? The recent Android version and most Type C chargers will not over charge anyway. I am using VPN with adblock I don't think I can use AdAway with that. I never use emojis too You running 21.9 or 12.5.6 EU?

Not overcharge, I think that stopped happening a long time ago. I don't want to charge to a full 100% to preserve battery health.
I use 21.9, I'm guessing you too?

Yes, themes with .mtz extension I downloaded from browser don't work, and in EU most the themes are in Chinese words.. I actually prefer MIUI more than AOSP, but MIUI gets more complicated like for example to set permission for battery optimization, need to set per/app in the Apps page and Battery Saver page. Sometimes the permission page in Privacy will not change then must go change manually.
My Mail app crashes all the time in EU 21.9.
For the new feature of 21.9, did all your apps get set Autostart automatically? Was it due to the update or originally all the apps are set to Autostart by default?

Yeah I only had problems with themes, like e.g. the statusbar not changing (like in the Screenshots) but other stuff, everything being in chinese... Using MIUI Themes is not a good experience unfortunately.

The status bar will be my least worry, the one that really keeps me on my toes all the time are the unnecessary apks installed in system with part of the name being "theme", and there is plenty of those files. The theming is complicated too, you don't even know where they hid the theme files. I tried to look for guides in official community forums, no luck. Another thing, is it just me or do you feel that the system Dark Mode is actually Black and not Dark? I mean, if other apps could tell the difference then Mi can't be so careless right?
There are too many useless functions in Miui，and so many bugs ,such as auto brightness,
ofcos ,anyone can tell me how to build a pe for 12x?
only gsi
I got my 12X today, global version. Most of the pre-installed apps I was able to uninstall, the only thing that really annoyed me was the gestures locked to the default launcher. I'm used to the Niagra launcher and its minimalistic approach, but I don't like the old three button layout, so I'm stuck with the MIUI launcher apparently :/ I hope we get some custom roms ASAP

Thanks! I've already tried to use FNG, but I couldn't hide the 3 nav buttons, I took a quick look at the video, but still no success, I'll check it later and I'll try to reproduce their settings. I'm just waiting my 168h to unlock the bootloader, then I'll try to run MIUI.EU and root it, then I'll be able to hide the nav buttons properly.

Oh, I heard some people saying that MIUI.EU was the best one. The TW one isn't like the chinese, without Google apps by default and filled with chinese apps bloatware? My friend got a 12X china version and he's struggling with some strange bugs with Google apps and other apps too, he's wating for the bootloader unlock to change it too.

I am also keen on just having any other option than MIUI. I've read in another thread (Link) that gsi roms are still buggy, especially with auto brightness, vibrator and fingerprint...
Does anyone know if the Chinese community could already build a stock Android 12 rom?

It's also about choice. People use custom ROMs because they have features the stock ROM generally doesn't have. I personally use the stock ROM myself, but that's my choice.
