Hi folks.
Im using OFFICIAL LinAge OS 15.1 without GApps (jepp i have no intention to use Google Account nor Apps ) and im using Netflix for quit some time.
Last i checked Netflix wants an update. After that update i cant use this app anymore ("This device is not supported").
Any suggestions how to fix this ?
Is it bc of Google (safetyNet), i dont have or the unlocked bootloader itself ?
I tried different versions , even fiddle with magisk hide.....no success.
THx in Advance
Hi,
Sorry, i don't understand, i have similar problem on Rom Resurection Remix...
I think go test Rom Pixel :/
Hi, i'm run on Pixel Experience and Resurection Remix (Pie)
and Netflix works fine, but download >>> https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/
This apk work fine with Rom custom and root ! (Sound + picture it's ok for me)
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 dont know, but i want to try with that ROM. I just can with the CN 11.0.575 ROM, i areally want to try with ROW, im using QFIL 2.0.1.9 .
Can't help you this thread is only to discuss stock Chinese Rom.

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.
Without notification how can you use a phone ?

Is there a need for unlocking bootloader to flash stock rom ?

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 !

My signal is fine. Have you checked that Z6 Pro have the bands used in your country and/or by your provider?

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.

1/ Try update these Google Apps with Apkpure
2/ Check if it happen because of some Modules or Twrp stuff you flashed
3/ If not work or Locked bootloader, use Unlock bootloader offical way (168h) or unoffical way (instant, free or paid tool) then Flash other fastboot rom by Mi Flash Tool. I suggest use Indonesia rom for NFC, Miui dialer (record call).

do you own the phone and does not have this issue ?
i have no twrp / stock firmware.
Hello everyone,
since my OnePlus 9 Pro doesn't work as fast as I expect, I'm wondering if installing a custom operating system would make it faster. I want degoogled phone, and I would like to be able to restore WhatsApp Chats from OxygenOS backup.
Which Custom ROM do you recommend? LineageOS?
Will Android be faster after installing Custom ROM and is it even necessary to install Custom ROM for speed? Or do you have a suggestion of what to do with OxygenOS to make it fast?
Thank you!
I would find a aosp rom most pute source if you want speed. Also if I were you I would use swift backup to save and restore my apps and data if going to other roms
toolhas4degrees, can you explain how can I do that? at least the first thing you mentioned?
hello,
Long story short:
1. CustomRom: Carbon Rom because battery life is good but for bugs you need to check for yourself
Optional for Battery-Life improvement and issue tracking:
1. "MinMicroG" as a flashable option instead of Gapps ( Skip this if you don't want microG and use Google apps)
2. app "Warden" to analyize apps which are using "Trackers, Google Analytic Services and Ad services" (Some Apps are extreme battery hogs probably because of some Services, Receivers and Wakelocks as i recognized)
3. use app like Servicely or similiar to disable receivers and services (as mentioned above)
4. Use Gsam Battery Monitor for Wakelocks and an advanced battery-usage-Statistic
5. Tasker for Automation for turning things off like Wifi etc. (only for experienced or "willing to learn" users, not necessary)
Note: Custom Rom with MicroG support is needed for MicroG to work (CarbonRom, LineageOS)
Note: For OSS Backups i have no experience, normally Whatsapp makes a backup to Google Drive or atleast local on your phone.
@AndroiduserBlazeIf you need some guidance trough the mentioned procedures, i will try to guide you through.
Ps: if you are still OSS with all your data in place, you can backup and restore via Android Debug Bridge
Best Regard's

Is Carbon ROM faster than LineageOS?
It is difficult to say, I think CarbonRom and LineageOS are close up but not really similar.
I would prefer CarbonRom (android 11) because you can customize your experience a little bit more than LineageOS. I have ran and still run CarbonRom with issues of course but a battery life way better then OSS in my experience.
The other Customroms with Android 12 are not really stable.
I had similar problem with my Huawei P8 LITE 2017 PRALX1, since the last emui update my phone was slow and soft crashing every time and battery wouldnt last long (screen turns black and i'm back at the unlock screen) so I decided to at least try to fix it, after somes adventures I unlocked the bootloader and installed LineageOS 17.1 with android 10 (recent version dont work very well yet, think it comes from the kernel)
My phone was running as new, battery was lot more better, and everything worked except the back camera, I think I broke it when I was opening the phone (tbh not a big deal since I never use cameras anyways)
I opted for LineageOS though. Can anyone tell me how to restore WhatsApp (because it is the only application I want to restore) on the newly installed Custom ROM? Can this chat database be found in Google's drive and just copied to the new Whatsapp on LineageOS?
Thanks in advance!
Can someone tell me why this error appears by trying to flash LinegeOS;
"error: cannot load 'lineage-18.1-20220308-recovery-lemonadep.img': No such file or directory"? Where do I need to put the image file so that he recognise it? I use linux
EDIT: I got it. Problem solved. I just gone into the Downloads folder where I downloaded the image file. Now I´m trying out my new LineageOS ond my One Plus 9 Pro
