Hey Folks,
a few weeks ago by display broke so I flashed my Z2 back to stock in case of sending it to Sony / O2 Germany.
After a little search, I decided to replace the screen for myself, so I buyed a screen and all went fine.
As I was back on my daily driver (latest CrDroid), I noticed that double tap to wake was not working at all, so I tested the screen and sensors, but all work fine.
I flashed back to stock Kitkat - dt2w not working
I flashed to stock Lollipop - dt2w not working
I flashed to Mokee, CrDroid and some other ROMs with and without M5 Kernel - nothing works.
I also have no Options in Kernel Adiutor for Dt2w, the dt2w setting in all roms were checked...
The Display was named as L50w, and on the back at one of the small cables was printed: Sirius - LG Innotek.
So maybe flashing a Hong Kong based stock ROM may help - L50w is Hong Kong version?
I'm open to all ideas and experiments
*note, I'm on a mac, no chance for windows etc.
Maybe the display you bought doesn't support dt2w, just guessing
I wondering if this is display related and not software?
I'll try an app from the playstore now.
It also depends upon the kernel but then you've just replaced the display rather than altering the kernel so i guess its related to display in your case. And i may be wrong because I'm not 100% sure
Thanks for your reply, I tried several apps from the playstore wich was a big fail ... most apps are crap, some worked but the display wasn' t really in sleep.
Am I the only one with this problem?
I guess yes
I'm about to trash the phone and buy a new Z2
Any chance to find out more information about the display? All apps just showing the resolution and dpi and screen size.
Same as mine .. i think it because of the hardware
Maybe you replaced with non original screen ?
L50W is a mainland China varient, not Hong Kong.
And yes, you seem to have a wrong screen replaced.

Ok. I am confused here. I bought a Mi 8 Explorer from eBay, it looked to me like the Mi 8 Explorer does - with the transparent back. I have been looking at ways to root this thing and have not found many guides for the ursa model, I guess as it is quite rare right now. I just ran DevCheck on my phone to see some of the details in preparation for rooting and it tells me that my model is the 'Mi 8 Pro equuleus'.
I saw that the next thread down in this fgorum is someone asking if they can flash one rom to another device. I am wondering, if this had been done to my device would it now show me the name to be equuleus? Could this be what is on my device but it is actually Explorer hardware. Or is it that there is also a transparent version of the Mi 8 Pro.
I went with a Xiaomi phone to try something new but there is way too much confusion for my liking with the similar/region specific devices.
Ursa and Equuleus (and even Dipper) share almost the same hardware with just a few differences.
I never tried to cross flash my Equuleus, but my guess is the Rom is not capable of telling you what the underlying hardware is.
And yes, Ursa and Equuleus probably look exact the same, so you may (or may not, IDK) have got an Equuleus instead of an Ursa.
Try to find out if your device has been bootloader unlocked. If it was not (means it is in locked state), then it has a stock Rom and was never flashed into something else.
I purchased Xiaomi Mi 8 EE which is Chinese version of Xiaomi Mi 8 pro, its simply perfect high performance phone, google installed via gapps apk
I purchased this from Argos, (in UK ) and it is the Equules variant.
Hope that helps
I also purchased mine in the U.K and it looks like it is actually the Explorer edition, the mi 8 transparent edition only comes with a Li-polymer battery, the transparent edition only uses the li-ion battery, they are both 3000ma. The explorer edition comes in 8gb ram and the transparent mi 8 pro is also 8gb ram. I think it's actually the same phone just the explorer is for the Chinese market.

I'm pretty sure though it's actually the explorer edition, if you search gearbest it comes under mi 8 pro explorer edition, uses a Li-poly battery which the mi8 pro transparent titanium doesn't, if you download the phone information app from the play store you will see, I also purchased mine from Argos in the U.K. The transparent titanium mi 8 pro uses a li-ion battery which our does not, they have maybe supplied these as the pro to meet network band specs in Europe.
Hello, I got rid of my MI 8 and got a mi mix 3
The global version of the Legion phone 2 I bought from Giztop just showed up like 10 minutes ago. I haven't finished checking it out yet, but so far it looks like they have actually been able to put the global rom on the chinese version of the phone. Fingerprint works and so does the front camera which I think was an issue with the previous Legion phone. Here are some screenshots of what I have seen so far during setup
So the global version comes with all the usual Google apps set to default and as far as I can tell nothing from Lenovo. The fingerprint reader is noticibly faster than the Chinese version though I don't know if that is from the software difference or not. It was never very good no matter how many times I redid it on the Chinese rom. The factory screen protector also feels different so that may cause the change as well. Always on display still goes to sleep after a few seconds so that is no different. Notifications so far are working correctly without any kind of configuration required. I also tried changing the launcher. It can be done, but when you swipe an app and hold it just dissapears instead of showing all the running apps. So it sort of works.

It is the Chinese phone that they changed the rom on. The box is in Chinese, the booklet in the box is in Chinese and the sticker on the back of the phone is in Chinese even.
I got the 16GB/512GB Global model today from the Lenovo store. Going to play with it now

12.5.102 ST, February 1 2021 security patch. Do you also have a problem with the Google search bar? I can't remove it. Also the camera and Legion app have a strange ZuiSkd name.
But further it's a great device. Very fast, great speakers, almost stock Android.

My version is 12.5.062. Does the always on display work properly in your version? I have the same issue with the Google search, which is annoying since it takes up alot of room. That reminds me, the camera app in the Global rom is way better than the Chinese version. It is faster and has a way better layout for image editing.

The always on display turns itself off after a few seconds, which makes it pointless since it is supposed to be always on.
The Chinese rom has some built in apps for the phone, contacts and texting and alot of random Chinese preinstalled apps that are pointless unless you know Chinese of course. It also is slower at loading apps than the Global version. It is very noticeable with ebay and google news. However, it is not a true direct comparison since my phones have different ram and storage sizes. The Chinese rom also has a security thing that frees ram and kills apps even if you tell it not to. It also has an option to download more themes, which the Global version doesn't seem to have. Otherwise I can't think of many other differences. People say the Chinese rom will get more updates, but that is not worth it to me.

Still not a proof.
All versions ok with bands, cuz of soc.
Difference in software (firmware).

Totally false. The cn version with global rom is missing b66,b71, and n71. So the hw is somehow different
I dunno how is it for Duel 2, but i had Asus ROG II (Chinese version) and it simply missed some bands too (it was hdw difference between global and chinese rom) - but honestly i didn't find in real enviroment any difference (living in UK)
Edit:// Hope Lenovo will realese new global update, those notification are annoying AF! Like i absolutely dunno if i got some message, it just simply that icon dissappear from status bar, like wtf , not mentioning still having issues with my hotspot, always have to use usb cable for hotspot, otherwise getting error >.<
As mentioned in subject, anyone has done this? Is everything working normally?
I think it's not possible right now.

Saw this on youtube:
I was thinking about buying GT, but finally decided to buy a redmi K40 instead because it has more roms to be flashed.

DSU sideloaded. Not a proper ROM. You'll go to realme ui when you restart.
It's said that the material and internal layout of realme is even better than Xiaomi, from my brother in law who owns a small mobile repair workshop, I'd like to give realme a try but I saw there's merely no custom roms then ended up with buying a redmi K40 12+256g as a backup phone since I need some phone to use when repairing my iPhone's screen (the glass only) was broken, it's only around 1800CNY less than 300 USD, worth a try. Current android phone is HTC U11 still working fine with pixel experience, so I would like to find some phone with more custom roms.
Never flashed the DSU before.

Did you manage to get it flashed to English? I like to know as well. I bought from a Chinese website and it arrived in Chinese firmware. Using it outside China, it doesn't have the blood pressure function enabled (my main reason for buying it). It does not have Alexa as well. I don't understand half the texts. The vibration is so weak I missed all my workout goal notifications and morning alarms even after I customised the vibration patterns. I need to flash to Global firmware at the very least to lower my increased blood pressure from buying it.
