I have 2 more weeks to return the phone... The phone it's great ( price, build quality , screen resolution ... Battery life got way better Whit time and some apps disable) but it looks like ZTE will never release the factory images for us to play Whit the phone as we like on a way would hate to return it back....
So its that's the case I don't see any other phone worth buying now but going back to the nexus 6p since the upcoming nexus by htc looks more like a downgrade [emoji29] ...
Would you guys consider a downgrade going back to the. 6p ? I saw them at 399 the 64 gigs on Amazon last weeks and I think I should of got it at that price ?

I know there is a new big update coming (base on comments and reply from ZTE Community) and this update may bring the factory image we want, that's the only reason i see why they haven't release a factory image for us to play with, beside CM 13.1 is just days away or less.
Thank you for the fast respond... I see you very active on these community don't know if ur a developer but looks like u have tons of knowledge regarding Android system ... U mean some one it's already working on CM 13.1 wow that would be pretty fast, honestly I would prefer something more stable and less ? drainer like the nexus pure project , it would be hard to port it probably ... I wouldn't even main if it's the stock Rom just polished Whit some tweaks and heavy debloat it oh well will wait those 2 weeks and go from there I really like these phone!

Return it is my advice. Never get a phone based on possible "future" features or upgrades. Don't get stuck with a phone you hate because of wishful thinking that didn't pan out. I been down that path and it's a waste of time.
I have also my concerns with that phone. If we don't have prospect of custom ROMs based on CM or AOSP it is quite useless (for me).
Unfortunately there is not much development going on until now... maybe it's getting better as soon as the deives are everywhere available but maybe not, who knows....
fact is everything is going slow in comparison to other devices mainly caused by ZTE itself
Its going back tomorrow ?

Slow? The phone has only been out a month and limited at that. We've already got root. You haven't had a phone on day one much have you? This is fast compared to other non Nexus devices.

If you look at the previous gen Axon http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-axon, mirrors this forum.
You have root, twrp but no custom roms. Keep this device for it's current list of features that's what you get for a $400 phone. You want custom rom, then Nexus 6P or OP3 will have plenty of custom roms to choose from.

im in the same boat but reversed. i just bought the 6p from bestbuy a week ago. its ok but the battery life on 7.0 is subpar and the lcd is pretty bad. the axon 7 looks to offer more bang for the buck. im contemplating exchanging mine today for the grey axon i see is in stock. custom roms will come in time, you have root and an unlocked bootloader.
Edit: just bought the grey axon. reset my 6p and ill be at best buy at 11am.

congrats on settling in. I'm sure you made the correct decision. I'm at your decision-making point regarding my OnePlus One. I've owned a ZTE desktop for 5 years, their customer (based on one call) was excellent. (toll-free 24/7 Lifetime). Maybe different for cellular. I'm sure you will give your impression and I'll look forward to them.
I assume they're immediately available at BestBuy?

Hello! I am a Nexus S owner (for the second time now, had it back in the states then sold it before coming to Korea) Picked up an iPhone which I loved but after using Android on my Hp Touchpad, it made me realize how much I missed Android. I was going to pick up a Galaxy Nexus then realized they wanted 850 US dollars so I settled on a used Nexus S for 300,000 won (roughly 250 dollars) Its just like I remembered it, it feels cheap haha but I miss all the widgets and using the GO Keyboard on it is making the transition a lot easier. Also, the apps seemed a lot more polished up, I cant wait for Ice Cream, hopefully they roll the update soon over here. I'll still be bouncing back and forth to the iphone though.
What I really miss is my Droid Pro, anything with a portrait style keyboard is a-okay with me!
You don't have to wait for ics. Either update it manually or flash any ics rom. This is android, you can tinker with the phone whenever you like.

How is it BS?
I compared my nexus to a 4s and the colors were much more viberant on my phone but they arnt real.
For instance I edited a pic on mine, it was really hard because I was really adjectings the lightinds like a pretty bicth #based, but then I transferred it to my computer. And wow it was off. Didn't even look like what I was working with on my phone.
So yes we have nicer colors. But they are fake. Over saturated.
Im not even going to call it retnia because its LCD and we have olee. But I need higher Res for my line of work.

While waiting for ICS to be released on a google phone my frustration has led me to an iPhone 4S. The screen is much clearer (retina is not bs), the phone is faster, and the battery life is better. I hope ICS is released soon for the Nexus S 9020A or I will end up selling the nexus s. I didn't buy a google phone to wait for updates. I may be impatient, but it's still really annoying.

Where have you been? The official update was already updated a while ago. You are probably going to have to flash a zip manually though cause I've heard there have been issues directly from your phone. If you're going to flash a zip you might as well flash a custom one. They're faster, better, more settings and tweaks, did I say BETTER?!? . Go and check some out you won't regret it
I am not rooted and was against flashing a custom rom as I have to wipe my phone and lose everything. Anyway around formatting device but still unlocking and rooting?

What's wrong with wiping? Just back up on your harddruve. I doubt your texts are that important. If so just screenshot using the Android sdk.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App. Developer of brickROM, and OP of XDA Thread of The Year 2011.
Have a look here, should be able to do a non destructive root on GB. After you do that you can backup all your apps and app data with titanium backup and restore it after unlocking the bootloader. Just remember to copy over any files you need on your sdcard before unlocking the bootloader (particularly the newly created titanium backup folder).
Texts and call logs can be backed up with smsbackup + or the likes. Orr just copy the relevant files with a file explorer on the phone, can't remember exactly where they are though.
I didn't realize you could backup without root. Was trying to wait it out for the OTA as I was scared to flash ics and AT&T radio as I have never before but may give it a shot this weekend. Thanks guys.

Please see Sbreen94's last post in the development threat - [ROM][P900][DEC 31]Hyperdrive KK RLS1.1║Tab S Feature║Total Customization 1 2 3 - - if you decide to ditch your p905v maybe Sbreen94 can use it to develop another excellent Rom for P905 owners. The P900 guys delivered a device to hm and he produced. Maybe thats what needed in this case for the P905 versions.
I also have the 905V, and while I love the tablet, I'm really itching for some development for this thing. Going forward, this will be the last tablet I'll every buy through Verizon because I'm tired of their locking shenanigans.

That's why I went with the Wifi version and carry a hotspot. ROM and root development for tablets already suffer from lower market share but couple that with carrier influence and things are even harder. At the price point this larger tablet comes in its no surprise that development is slower for it.
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
Yup, you live, you learn, and I've learned an expensive lesson. I've had the Tablet for 10 months and it's going to my Spouse this summer while I look for something that has more development behind it.
As I understand the 905v has a locked boot loader is easy to root but no flashing
I guess next time it's wifi and a separate hotspot. It really does suck because I bought the lte version mainly for the better processor but it was nice not having to carry around ANOTHER piece of equipment that needed charging. I really do want to love this tablet. Maybe someone will trade me for the rooted wifi version and a hotspot. I think I'd be totally down for that.

No need to be snarky, though I do understand where you are coming from. My SM-P900 is rooted and still on the stock ROM so I don't think it is absolutely necessary to have a custom ROM to get the custom features that they bring. It does take a lot more work though and not having the safety net of custom recovery to restore nandroid backup images or wipe dalvic cache is a big deal.

yea, it's been weird for me too. I've had HTC flagships the last 5-6 years. Always got it and already had unlock, root, recovery and some ROMs. This is a whole new feeling for me. We have root for the 815, which I have. So I'll grab that tonight.
LOVING the device too - exceeds my expectations for sure. Gorgeous display, fast, loud speaker, no complaints at all. But yea, missing the activity in the forum to go along with it!

Well, I mean, the phone hasn't been officially released through all carriers yet so it's hard to already have every form of development already processed. Give it a month for root, another couple for BL unlocked and after both of those a few weeks and the pages will explode

We're all going to be learning lessons in patience then hahaha. The 815 is getting the response I could only dream of the 811 having.
But the whole reason I started the thread was to ask if there are non-root variations of the root apps we love so much. Like removing bloatware, changing the dpi, all the stuff like that. unachievable without root?

unfortunately it looks like the party is only going to be for the ones who got the international version. the models for the US phone carriers do not look like they'll be rooted. kinda sucks
Just be patient, LG will provide unlock for other models soon.
You can change your dpi without root using adb. I already had adb set up, so I just used the commands from here: http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-...creen-resolution-without-root-access-0160439/
Mine is at 560 right now. Stock dpi is 640.

Tell me about it. You'd think LG would be more welcoming to developers, seeing as they were late to the game and knowing their main competition already has root for their devices. The more and more I use my G4, the more half-baked the phone seems.

And you came to this conclusion how? The G2 and G3 have root and custom ROMs for all US models.
there is still people waiting for the phones. I myself just got mine yesterday like some one said earlier it took awhile for root to come to the g3 i remember waiting for it when i first got the g3 too.
Without root it beats the purpose of checking in every day. I used to check XDA multiple times a day. Now I check it every other day and there's always nothing interesting. If we had ROOT man it'll be different. Miss downloading flashing roms. Waiting for new updates with new features. I miss ROMS but without an unlocked bootloader this phone is F'ed. Locked down till lord knows when. Seriously thinking about buying another galaxy. I sold my note 4. Should of kept it lol
¡what a day, what a LOVELY DAY!!
I feel your frustration, but have to say one thing here. I've been using Android since the G1, I've rooted every device I've owned (too numerous to list) until now. The GS7E is really quite amazing, even without root. I had planned on leaving it stock as long as I could tolerate it anyways, so I was not entirely crushed to learn it was locked down so tightly. I mean, had root been a requirement for me, I'd have gone with a Nexus - where bootloader unlock is a right, not a gift.
I do miss proper hosts based ad blocking, but Samsung/Android Pay make up for the shortcomings of root-free ad blocking. The ability to change dpi without root (although it breaks Android Pay, but a quick reboot sets that right) and the AOSP like appearance of the Good lock screen helps me not miss Xposed. And the fact that things simply work, without the additional burden of wondering if it was something I flashed causing weirdness on my device, means I can spend more time playing with my phone... and less time backing up, flashing, restoring, adb'ing, fastbooting, installing/updating drivers, and debugging.
Would I have it the other way around? Certainly, but either way is a compromise, and there is no going back. So, perhaps it's good (for me) that we don't have root. Or, I might already be missing Samsung/Android Pay, and the stability of the stock rom.

That's cool bro, but like you I like the s7 edge. But being XDA I miss coming here to look for roms and being exited about getting an update. Yea I can customize it how I want it. Yes there no YouTube adds with RED. but being XDA that's just what I miss lol. Should probably just delete the app. Not like I'm going anywhere with this phone. Still believe rooting isn't a necessity with the galaxy s7 edge. I can't use Samsung pay so I could care less .

I could not disagree more. Mods are even more important in device forums where there is no active development, as the entire device forum becomes a pissing contest where everyone who doesn't have anything to contribute just argue with each other - making it even harder to find what useful information there is.
I appreciate the work mods do here due to the fact that the mods here are volunteers who don't get paid (with anything but insults from people like you apparently).
So if you are mad at the mods for removing something you posted, perhaps you should read the forum rules to understand why your post was removed. That and take it to PM, instead of *crapping on all mods in a public post.
I upgraded to this from a note 3 and I'm devastated to learn the bootloader is locked. I'm tempted to return the device or sell it after its payed off. We should make a group that shows interest in not locking the bootloader of the Note 6 do when it's released at least there was a movement.

I think without root I have become a more productive person with life in general
I just want root so I can delete the unwanted apps and for cyanogen roms.

the reason we don't have root is simple... no one is working on it.
anyone capable of actually doing it has already been hired by the people who don't want you to do it
After using this device for a month or so I really don't care about root. Yes I would like adaway and Viper but all in all I would make the same choice all over again.

Screen is too small and the quality is garbage compared to OLED, otherwise I'd agree.
Edited
Is there anyone actively working on root that I can get with? I haven't been in the dev game for a long time, but browsing the web without adaway is getting ridiculous

It is not that small bigger than the s7 that I had. The oled and amoled is great but it feels more fluid on the HTC with this LCD. Rooted and custom ROM, that beats the s7 and edge any day of the week. Battery is going great now. I am at 51 percent with 3 hours sot unplugged since 8 this morning and now it is almost 8.

Hi guys. I am thinking to buy this phone in upcoming independence day sales for rs 7500 32gb.
I see good development community for this device. Good custom roms.
Do guys recommend it.?
yes, i would recommend it. i got 4gb 64gb for 7600 in last month. totally worth it. excellent battery backup. can play pubg even on hdr with BAGT tool without lag. FYI oreo 340 firmware is best for this device. which has good brightness and loud sound. also charges faster and gives good battery life. now im bored of using stock rom so decided to try some custom pie roms.
Hey man same thing I have in my mind also.. planning to buy tommorw sale (8th August), came here for review . I have also done some investigation on this. Seems all good with Oreo. Have some bugs in pie and my only concern is it don't have Gorilla glass ..what's your opinion , let me know
Where you are getting for 7500?, In flip-kart they increased the price to 8000
Check 2GUD, Refurbished Phones but Flipkart owns 2GUD so no problem. (Not Promoting)
You can easily get 4/64 variant at ₹7800 and 3/32 at ₹6500.
You don't have to use Google service anymore with this phone of you rooted it, and I've some today and its working great and battery life got more awesome, check this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/how-to/install-microg-asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1-t3953130 we all can leave the Google out of our life.:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hi Bro,
I am getting from flipkart 4/67 for ₹8000. At least i will get 1 year warranty right for that extra 200 rupee. And also i added external warranty for 99 rupee to cover full damage. What do you think about it? its useful?

Same here. I have ordered with external warranty ( ₹99 )and awaiting for delivery. One thing, Are you going to root now itself or You will wait until the warranty expiry date?
One more , Even if we root and do naughty stuffs , we can flash the original firmware and gain warranty right?

My first asus device. I'm still exploring asus.
I have been using Xiaomi till now. Xiaomi devices do not have any issue even if you officially unlock, you can still flash fastboot rom which locks bootloader. So no issues.
I haven't unlocked or rooted this device till now but will do that soon.

I am Airtel user so no issues.
I have bought this device just because it has good dev community comparatively and also got official pixel experience ROM.
One can go with this mobile if camera is not concern.
