Hi, I'm currently on the Z1 and I'm aware of certain issues to do with the camera / CM11 or something to do with custom ROMs.
I'm considering and upgrade to the Z2 and am wondering if there are similar issues or is it a lot better now?
Thanks

The Z2 has 0 of the issuses that the Z1 has
The only problem is that xreality wont work if you dont have the right TA to your ROM but you can simply find the FTF that matches that rom
The only other is that you have a decent chance of getting a defective unit
So flashing custom roms should be no issue to you
Take note that CM11 is very buggy because official stable isnt released

But that problem with unlocking bootloader and camera functionality was for first month of XZ1 release
after that sony fixed it by some updates.
anyway on launch thr s no problem on XZ2
it s good device to customize & etc (even u can get it when XDA put it on Top Devices as upgrade of XZ)
:good:
Cm11 does have official builds now but the camera doesn't work and there's a bug that causes the touchscreen to stop responding when it goes into deep sleep

Yeap...he will.
Just check his eXistenZ thread in Z2 section and you'll be informed.
He already fully ported new Ultra Stamina MOD and screen recording and I'm sure he'll bring us many more features.
Also, he will port and built in ROM all new and/or updated apps from Z3...
When...?
When he finish it...we don't know that and it's not polite to ask for ETA.

I did not ask for ETA, as i can get some z3 apps and etc, but i just want to know who is working on bringing one.
Ok i did
I heard it's possible.
Cm13 has already been ported to Z2
Its just not very stable and thats probably why no one has posted it.

There is a reason why i added 'no one has posted it.' at the end
This is the problem Sir.
When you port one Rom, you take the sony libs for the port, but MM on z2 no released yet, therefore this is the principal reason for no have one port stable and released
Www.vanir.co
It's quite stable, but some bugs are there...
No cam, call quality broken, some Radio Problems
vanir is based on aosp by rcstar and has same bugs..
Hello,
i wanted to ask if it is possible to have a own forum for Z Pro?
That we can discuss it in the right corner and do not spam the Z forum
I dont think that we will need a new for the Z Pro. It is the same phone but only with a second camera lense...
Bit i think roms and so on wont work on z PRO so new one would be good

how about twrp and root?i wanna buy a umi z pro but i am asking for twrp 1 month from users
Umidigi z pro gets shipped out at the moment. So many users will have it the next week. I think own forum would be great, because the camera hardware is to different and roms and so on wont work for both devices.
How can you be sure ROMs would not work on both , new camera app on new z ROM clearly sane as z pro only the camera driver needs to change and it would be quite easy to check which to install on boot ..so a universal ROM makes sense if we get any custom ROMs as the rest would be the same
Buenos, I finally have the phone in my hands, hope we have a forum of our phone

As far as I know the thing with a Custom ROM with Mediatek processor is not quite easy.
I have my Z Pro for about 2 months and am quite satisfied so far.
As with most devices of this manufacturer, not everything is as promised.
The camera app does not really work.
The images are blurred and not properly focused.
With other camera apps, the images get really good. That surprised me positively.
Hopefully, UMIDIGI can solve this problem with one of the next updates.
I have not installed the update on Android 7 yet, because in the UMIDIGI community is reported by too many problems and bugs.

You can use UMI z twrp. Its the same and root too
My Z Pro fell, then a string of problems followed, even though the screen remained intact. The phone (temperature sensor I suppose) always told me the battery was over temperature, even though it CLEARLY wasn't, and the phone would turn off shortly after. I tried fixing it but ended up making everything worse. Now it just shows the charger icon when plugged in, and quickly turns off shortly after.
Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.
---------------------------------------------------
People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

LCD Tianma?
Regarding FP Sensor I got confused. Goodix has issues with some roms right? or is it FPC?

I don't know about LCD. And yes oreo roms has issues with goodix sensor right now, but devs are trying hard to get it fixed and eventually it will.
Doesn't matter where you buy it, it's 100% random you can get anything.

Which app are you using to check what the hardware is? I wanna check my camera and FP sensor too, since I bought from Flipkart too during that sale. Thanks.

Doesn't work on custom rom I am guessing? On RR.
interested in buying the Redmi Note 10. but, then heard bout the issues with the phone with regards to the touch, display etc....
not very sure if I should still be buying this phone, so looking for some input from you guys here who already own it & are here for the ROM's.
will mostly switch to Custom ROM if I buy it.
1) are these issues related to the software or hardware when it comes to the default factory ROM shipped with the phone?
2) are any/all of the issues resolved after installing the available Custom ROM's?
3) is there anything else I should know about or consider before buying this phone?
any input from you guys will be highly appreciated & help decide my phone purchase, ty
I have the redmi note 10, 4 - 128 version running stock MIUI, 12.0.7 , and don't see any problem related to hardware, sometimes the software don't feel smooth but I think is optimization issue. I read about the screen problem in Pro version due to high refresh rate, but is a software issue too...

I think yes, of course it depends of how much money you want spend, in my case the RN 10, is the better option compared with the Samsung and others available in my country.. the screen and dual speaker are the main features for me...
I have NT10 and it have a great hardware and also miui version doen't have any problems with it.
Minor issues on the RN10 such as 10-second AOD timeout but nothing you cannot live with.

The custom roms have a major deal breaking bug with video recording. Even with Gcam the video recording doesn't record sound. Quick restart fixes it but after awhile it goes to same state. Don't know how long will it take for the developers to fix this major bug .
If you don't record much videos, maybe it won't bother you.
Other bugs in custom roms are minor and varying with each rom. But, there aren't anything serious like mentioned above.
If you don't like MIUI then custom rom is the way to go. And, custom rom solves almost all of the shortcomings and annoyances of MIUI. I don't like MIUI so much that even with video bug, I am using Pixel Plus Experience ROM.

There's a Magisk module "MIUI AOD Fix for Mi 10 Lite 5G (monet) (xiaomi.eu) v1.1 by SantiagoG242".
It bypasses this stupid limitation (hope they fix it soon)
