[Q] ZE551ML 1.8Ghz, 2gb vs mi4i

Is this device good? I have a few questions:
1) How does it stack up against xiaomi mi4i?
2) Is there a chance of a stable custom rom now that the bootloader can be unlocked and kernel sources are released?
3) How bad is the camera ?

Performance wise, mi4i not a chance to stand up against zf2, but zf2 2gb have ram management issues which makes multitasking bit hard and battery life is not great as mi4i
No custom rom since no unlocking tool for now from Asus, but it will be available soon I guess..
Camera improved than before, great at outdoor, somewhat noisy in indoor

I know about the performance. A custom rom is possible after bootloader is unlocked right? I've decided to buy it, but there are a lot of negative reviews on flipkart related to call drops, although these reviews are often misguided.
Also, how is the display, build quality ?

call drop never happened and some bugs here and there for every ota and it fixes old bugs also,..display,build quality is awesome...
but some got damaged in edges from normal drops,so need hardcase ...

Could you show the source for the bootloader unlock news? I can't find it. BTW I already ordered mine with a clear TPU case. Any recommended wall chargers for quick charge?

Understandable though. They are focused on fixing bugs which affected 98% of their consumer base. Only the handful of us (2%) bother about custom this and that.

Best G4 ROM with stock-quality Camera

I'm looking for a custom ROM which allows me to take photos with the same quality as the original G4 Camera app, without losing quality. Which one should I choose?

You're only really going to get that with one of the stock ROMs. I've been running Imperium since forever and I've never really had any problems with it.

I'm interested too because with Stock Base Roms (Imperium) I get bootloop after a few weeks. Now I'm on Cosmic OS and I'm looking for a good camera

SimpleGX rom is a great one too, no problem at all, I'm still using superSU
Also security patch is updated monthly

Motorola droid camera is good you'll have to go look for it.....

Simple ROM is almost 100% debloated I couldn't live with it I like LG ROMs for features that Simple ROM got debloated
Sent from my LG G4 using XDA Labs

Ok, so I should pick up the Simple GX ROM ? seems like it's the best solution to keep the camera quality

for best stock based.. that is genisys/imperium or simplegx. all are the same in camera... if you want alot of customazation and nougat then AOSP but lower quality on camera.. longer battery life and faster phone.

That's right that aosp nougat roms have a faster ui, but in my experience it slows down after some days of uptime (RR Tyler build).
I back at stock (imperium) for 2 months now, because of this issue.
Anyone else experienced this slow down after some time of use?
If not, which rom you are using?
Thx

true, but only with snap or google.
did you ever try my ported htc and snapdragon ? also they both fix the flashlight problem ,not hitting at the right moment.
personally i don't see any difference. The only difference is in that dam bug on the video , caused by the drivers, and we can't record a video on 1080p

Agree, snapdragon camera performs very well. I don't have any side by side comparison with stock, anyway

I always thought that imperium had the best battery Life. AOSP rom is really better? I'm talking about screen on time

sot is the same. quadra screen is crap.
you only get better standby time without the use of xposed and greenify.

stock has alot of services running. and aosp or CM have less. so yes you get more SOT. i get around 3-4 hours in stock base rom. using whats app,messenger and facebook app. and data connection.

What about ProShot on asop rom and it's quality. I have/had LP 5.1 with 100% quality jpg mod and 60fps HD 48Mpbs all the way up to 60Mbps but my andorid was being hacked so now i have to explore aosp roms with latest security patches but when i go on travel trip i want my LP with mods back. V10 camera port has no jpg 100% quality mod, but Proshot does but then again it's not LG stock framework as you guys said so it's quality it's probably still inferior. Thoughts guys ?
Dual boot sounds interesting. Any links for H811 for this?

Hey!!
I'm using lg stock lollipop rom (H815) as there's no update for my model. But my problem is that my battery lasts only 2-2.5hrs in full charge. Even if i don't use my phone, it drops by 20-25% per hour. So is there any way to make my battery life better?

Is my battery life normal?

I just want to know if my battery life is considered to be in a good margin. I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't unlocked my bootloader and tried out 3rd party ROMs and then eventually settled on a stock MIUI. I don't think that screen on time is bad, it's just that standby seems to drain battery more than I remember from when I used it with locked bootloader.

Okay, thank you for replying. It was probably bad experiences with flashing ROMs on other phones and then having bad battery life that led me to believe that something was wrong.

miui is way better than those custom rom if you know how to use it the right way

The fact that it is T-mobile shouldnt matter, its the same model as the NA/Global variant. Custom ROM's are in the works. Once one becomes public, the scene will explode with others able to cherry pick what they need.

This is true - My last Op7pro I bought about 9 months after release, and there was a twrp etc etc by then, so just give it more time, this phone is really new.
Off topic, but is anybody else sick of the overheating? FML, I hate this phone cuz of that only, wish they'd fix it somehow (yeah right lol)...

avid_droid said:
There is one current tom being built,Paranoid Android,but its not close to being ready for mainstream. Hold on for a bit and hopefully soon it will be released. Last I knew the rom wasn't fully functional. Able to boot with things not working. The devs on it are waiting for their own development devices. Could be a bit but hold on.

Where can I follow progress? I'd love to track and possibly contribute. If you know where any other ROMs are being worked on I'd love to join there as well
EDIT: I see on their gerrit they added support for the 9 and 9 Pro

I'm really hoping to see ROMs make better use of the LTPO display for power saving. As is, it pretty much always runs at 120 and then sometimes drops to 60. I feel like it should drop to 60 any time im not touching it, and even lower if theres no media player. my settings app does not need to sit at 120hz lol

Right but Nostalgia aside, CrDroid or dare I say vanilla Lineage are far better options - in my humble opinion.
I'm only saying this because I flashed havoc on 3 different devices, and it's always been riddled with bugs and broken features.

I hope pixel rom is coming too. I don't like roms with crowded settings.

General My flashaholic days are over

After flashing 300 times and almost bricking the phone once , going to count my chickens before their hatch and I'm going to settle on Arrow as being my favorite especially as latest build just stable snappy battery is awesome and non-bloated till we meet again happy Friday by the way!

great!
i seem to face bounce jitter on all roms while scrolling especially in the browser. in simple terms the bounce happens because the screen skips/jumps a few frames. is this an issue on arrow too? happens mostly in chrome. btw does this have dynamic refresh rate and how's battery life , sound whats your camera setup like... describe more ''' <
looking forward to your reply

How did you hardbrick it, did you literally smash it with a brick afaik these phones are 99% unhardbrickable

That's what i like to know as well.
I've flashed roms for about ten years or so and i never hard bricked a device.
And i can count the soft bricks i had on one hand.

I will also settle in a MIUI modded Rom. Because we hate Miui but our phones needed at least to work as intended, I know with a pair of bugs but at least we don't have empty pockets. I care about battery and SOT, I mean what I look for in a ROM. And with this one is what I got.

i have a oneplus 3t bought it new when it first came out, still run perfectly fine never opened, i have done all kind of experiments with it finally flashed PE about a year ago, i have all my authentication apps for work and personal accounts on it + banking apps and so on, flashing ROMs do not affect and longevity of a phone.

Arrow and Syberia are the best two roms right now. Syberia has more options than Arrow but both are stable and I haven't had any random reboots or glitches. The one plus side to Syberia is the ringtones actually play through both speakers instead of just the bottom one. It's the only custom rom with that feature which means they actually took the time to get that working and that's a good sign to me. I also like having Face unlock and any rom that doesn't have it I stay away from. Also basic things like hiding the battery icon and just showing the percentage and customizing the quick settings columns and rows are options I think all custom roms should have.
