I don't know when will it be released. I don't use long time, so I can not compare. But design is better so far for me

Hello, thanks for your work, I want to install this Rom but the step 6 is a little confusing, cause I don't know which Rom should install, link of download has a lot of files.
Can you please update this step with names of files to install?

What about the music player? Same or different

I really hope that version 5.0 only comes to Asian phones (if at all and at most) because that's what typically people from there like. But in my opinion, the new style just moves further away from stock Android look and closer to iOS. The skin looks "heavy" and "bloat -ish". The notification toggles UI got worse and the rounded notifications is not useful. It's like a bit more childish theme. Would be nicer if ZTE actually let us and not them customize the notification toggles. They literally removed one of Android Nougat's offered feature here: customized toggles and hidden menu.

this method is working on G model too.

Installed and followed the instructions to the tee. I have the U variant. Phone is not booting into system, recovery or EDL mode. When trying to power on the phone it vibrates and light blinks twice. Same when trying to boot into recovery.
EDIT: I fixed my problem. It just isnt booting after following the steps tho.

Yeah, guess we'll have to wait and hope MiFavor 5 officially comes to the U version. After many months of using custom ROMs, I came back to plain stock + root and realized how much I missed it. Stock ROM with Nova Launcher isn't that bad. I mean without Xposed, not THAT much you can do on custom ROMs anyway, with the exception of a few minor tweaks here and there. At least not with what I want.

@WesTD do me a favor, please. Create another backup and include system, data and boot. I'm going to make a flashable zip.

That is good news! In this case I welcome functions over style as long as the style doesn't restrict them.

It worked on my 2017U. Instead of installing the Google Play Services linked in the OP, I installed it from apkmirror, along with Google Play Store. Worked perfectly. One thing I would like to add, if you are being prompted for a password upon startup, go to TWRP and perform a factory reset. I was and that's what worked for me.

Does Magisk work on this?

It looks like an update came out
