Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini NX403A - Android 5.0.2 CM12

Hi
I have new Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini NX403A, there was hard to find information about upgrade and root so here it is, all in one thread!
When you buy Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini its came to you with Android 4.2.2.
When you plug in phone to computer by USB cable you can install USB drivers right from device. Make a backup of this drivers because after upgrade you will be not able to access it again.
There is a copy for you: USB drivers for ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini -> download
When the drivers will be installed turn on USB Debugging mode. (Settings->About Device, click a few times in Build Version to turn on Developers access. Now go to Settings->Developer options.)
First step is to root your device.
Root ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini – download
Download it and extract. Run íżbatROMdiyí┐╣Ąż▀¤ń.exe file.
Wait till your phone will be detected then choose option "05....." from the menu in CMD window.
If the installation will be completed then you will find two new icons Link2SD and SuperSU on your phone screen.
To install TWRP Custom Recovery you need to install Flashify app.
Download, extract and copy TWRP 2.8.6.1 Recovery into SD Card and also copy to SD Card file ui.zip with theme for TWRP with English language unless you know Chinese (more themes for TWRP here on XDA)
Install and run Flashify app. In app menu click on Choose File and select TWRP2.8.6.1-Recovery.img file from SD Card.
Confirm.
When your phone will reboot go to phone memory and inside TWRP catalog create new one called "theme" and put there ui.zip file.
Download an copy into SD Card these two files:
–Android 5.0.2 CM12 temasek-v9.4-nx403a.zip
–gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip
NEW UPDATED ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62249397&postcount=4
Run phone in Recovery Mode. (Hold in the same time: Power button and Volume Up.)
From TWRP menu choose Wipe (Wipe your phone to factory settings before you will install new Rom)
After wipe choose from TWRP menu option Install.
Choose from SD Card temasek-v9.4-nx403a.zip file and confirm installation of new ROM.
Reboot your phone and enjoy your new system
If you want Google Play Store and other Google apps install gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip file the sam way you installed ROM from TWRP Recovery.
You need root your phone again. Download and install SuperSU from Google Play
Go to Settings->Developer Options->Root Access and choose Apliactions and ADB
Run SuperSU, accept root instalation and choose CWM/TWRP option.
If you get "soft brick" of your phone you can recover it with this instruction.
Rom do not have any bugs or errors. Works fine.
Screenshots (my language is Polish but all other languages are supported I also got some apps already installed):

When I upload it here it was free, now file is deleted, so you don't need to register, because there is nothing at all to download there. At the top of page there is info: "File no longer exist" and under that there are some ads about create account for money. So before you say something is spam, read it carefully please.

[STOCK] Google Camera download

If you're on a custom ROM that didn't come with Google Camera, then you can use this one.
Just download the GoogleCamera.zip.
Unzip it.
Then copy the entire Google Camera folder to /system/priv-app.
Then change permissions of the folder to match other folders.
Then change permissions of the apk inside to match other apks.
Then reboot and profit.
Download pulled from January 2017's "V" stock firmware:
http://www.filedropper.com/googlecamera_1

is this another app than google camera from playstore?

If on Chrome on a Windows PC, then click the grey colored "download this file" button.
Then enter the text code to download.
I have an add blocker so my webpage view may be slightly different from yours.

Thank you its downloaded I will continue steps

Thanks I had to move back to pure nexus, my cell signal kept being lost and had to reboot to get it back. I tried several kernels including stock and was unable to resolve.

Is this work for moto G2 titan ..I have already installed gcam but it doesn't have HRD and HRD+ features so I was thinking do what you had said now ....do I have to uninstall the old one[/FONT]

It's on the store but for some reason isn't searchable. I saved the link to Google keep so I can access it whenever I need to: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera

My understanding is that when /system/framework/com.motorola.frameworks.core.addon.jar is present
com.motorola.camera.device.framework.CameraMotExt.<clinit> fails to find class "android.hardware.Camera$EnvDetectCallback"
So I emptied out the static method (<clinit>) and initialised a couple of variables outside.
I used DexPatcher to modify it.
Then the behaviour is the same as if /system/framework/com.motorola.frameworks.core.addon.jar wasn't there.
Clearly this is a workaround not a fix. It would be nice to know why it can't find the class and fix it so that "CameraMot" is supported (I guess this is some hardware optimisation)

Would you please share another link beside afh because i get some problem with download from afh

Thank you for this. After I deleted those files, an FC message saying "Motorola Settings" has stopped would greet me at every boot. This'll take care of that.
I don't believe it has anything to do with video recording though, does it?

I didn't see issues with video recording either with the patched Moto camera and deleting the .jar files, or using this Moto camera as is. The Motorola settings seems to pop up whenever, but dismissing it doesn't seem to cause issues with the camera app or the system itself - curious!

It can't be updated or it would loose the patch.
Quality wise I would say it's close to stock but probably a little below (can someone confirm this?)
For now I think this is the best we can get for non stock roms.
If someone wants to step up and try to get a proper fix that would be ideal.

[Root] How to make ARCore work on Vince

!!ATTENTION!!
As Google recently changed how the device_profile files are located, these steps below do NOT work anymore. There are only two options you can choose from which you can follow and read about here
#I'll not be responsible for anything that happens to your device when you follow these steps#
If you don't know what ARCore is read this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARCore
After you understand what ARCore is for then continue reading.
@Arnova8G2 has made a flashable zip with support for our device.
AR Stickers download https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Uvspxje-myBIKIeDHfgMpZ4Uv_o5ZFYL
Installation steps:
1. Install original arcore linked below
2. Reboot to TWRP
3. Install twrp-Patch-ARcore-for-all-device.zip
4. Reboot to system
Zip download here. This method is still under testing, so the original method is still shown below.
Step 1. Download ARCore from here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...se/arcore-1-4-180716096-android-apk-download/
Step 2. Install an app that use ARCore. If you're lazy, you can use this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-creative-lab/just-a-line-draw-anywhere-with-ar/
Step 3. Open the app you installed in step 2 and let it crash. This will make the folders and files that we're going to use later on.
Step 4. Download the file named device_profile_vince.textproto.txt at the end of this post and rename the file to device_profile_vince.textproto
Step 5. Using root explorer, copy the file you just renamed to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database2 and change SE context by selecting the file you just copied and press the three dots. Then select Restore default context and then press OK.
Step 6. Now you can use any apps that require ARCore!:victory:
NOTE: If you updated ARCore repeat step 3 to step 5
Tested on my vince running AEX and havoc os with omnivision sensor

Not really necessary anymore as we've Arnova8G2's flashable zip but I'll keep it here anyways
During the steps above, you probably saw a bunch of files in /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database. One file is for one device or another variant of the same device. These files come from the manufacturers or Google themselves for the devices that officially ARCore.
Unfortunately, vince, like a lot of other devices, don't officially support ARCore, so some of these files maybe more compatible with vince but I don't have time to test them all. So if anybody have extra time, you can help me find out which one of these files is best suited for our device. You just have to rename the file you want to test to device_profile_vince_.textproto(the _ is to make sure you don't accidentally replace the original device_profile_vince.textproto file) and rename the original device_profile_vince.textproto to device_profile_vince.textproto.bak
If you believe you've found a file that's better than the one on the OP, then please tag me and post the file name in this thread and I'll test it to see if it's better before adding it to the OP

FAQ:
Q:Why (insert app name) can't detect surface?
A:Find a surface that's not shiny or white color. Surfaces that are textured and have sufficient lighting can help. Sometimes a reboot can help too
Q:Why can't I install all apps that use ARCore in play store?
A:They're supposed to be only for devices that officially support ARCore. If you want to use them on vince, download using apkmirror
Q:Why ARCore still isn't working on MIUI even after I followed all the steps?
A:This could be because that MIUI is heavily modified from stock Android so a lot of things aren't working on it.
Q:Why isn't AR Stickers working?
A:Use this version Download, (MIRROR). Thanks to @Arnova8G2 for this

Hi.
Thank you for your hard work.

I am asking this because I'm fully stock and I would like to know for root it.

All apps that use ARCore should work except for ARStickers, which you've to use the one linked in the FAQ. It's the only app so far I tested that needs to be modded to work.

Deer developer tried every step describe by you on miui costum rom wash n dish by Jerome-X but not worked any AR core based software always it is saying that device is not supported check the screen shots.

Really good work done by you to enable this feature.
May be I am getting error due to miui

Mhhh... Weird.
I must wait 110 hours until unlock my bootloader... Damn.
Anyway.
I developed some app with Google tango.
And yes, the problem can be the Android version also.
Arcore works on few models with Android nougat. If you use a smooth vanilla 8.0 it can works (maybe).
If someone wants to try, please, try this app (now I can't because the bootloader),

I don't know what's wrong but it still crashes after first start like all other versions.
Hope there's a fix !

thanks, works perfect after enabling camapi2 & rebooting the phone again.

im on stock rom with rooted devices but not have twrp,
so i'm just copying (manualy via root explorer) that files to /vendor and change permission to rw-r-r then rebooting device, after booting all that files has gone or back to default.
did my step is wrong?

Stock rom has native cam2api support. you only have to install magisk module.

How about the hdr on the front camera? Is it working?

The Gcam in the first post is this one: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog466/

Is there anyway to undo these two fix?
Cause now the camera itself stopped working, I can't use any camera app
