How to remap home bottom with rooted official fw? - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. I've been reading the forums and threads the past few hours but have not run across any reads on this question.
I'm using the latest official CM 12.1 fw via OTA. I am open to rooting the device if it will allow me to make the home bottom touch and remap without installing a custom fw.
Is this even possible?
Thanks

With xposed you can remap the home button click, but you won't get touch features.

Unfortunately I don't see a custom 12.1.1 fw with only the home touch feature I require. And I need a daily driver so 13.xx isn't an option at it's current state. 12.1.1 has been very good to me other than the fs issue. Oh well. Thanks for the info @strongst...

What are you think is missing in cm13 roms which you prevent from switching? They're rock stable at all, but missing the sim switch feature for example.

Missing? Not at all. I'm a 45yr old guy that no longer have the time to test, report, and submit logcats. I would rather update every month or every other month. I'm not worried about the sim switch issue. I only use a single SIM. But just in case I can't sleep thinking about flashing a 13 fw, what do you use?

I'm using nuclearom. It's a daily driver out of the box with a sort of nice features. It's useful to make always a nandroid backup, so you can go back to cos. There's no need to test or report logs. Also the cm13 nightlys are stable.

Thanks for that. I'm good with the vanilla nightlies as long I can get home touch working. I have the feeling the mechanical home button will not last very long with my daily usage.

New features in CM 7.2.0-RC0

Actually, I'm gonna post new features to CM 7.2.0-RC0 that I find most useful/interesting (link)
1.Audio route through dock
I remember reading about a few people who were quite sad that CM7 did not have the ability to route audio through usb when docked as they used the car dock for the atrix and complained it was quite inconvenient to use the headphone jack.
Guess what?
Read here, here and here!
2.Quicker Camcorder Launch
Reduces the launch time of the camcorder application. (link)
3.Updated time zone info
Useful if your country abandoned DST this year (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9678)
4.Control Music via gestures on lockscreen
Able to gestures to switch to next/previous songs, or to play/pause songs. here and here.
5.Previous screen fix
Fixes the bug that, locking the screen (via Power Button), and then quickly unlocking (via Power Button) will show the whatever was previously displayed on the screen, was reported here.
(link)
6.Camcorder: Focus before recording
Camera focus before taking a video, for phones without CAF, like all tegra phones! Grrr
(link)
Any one you find particularly helpful?
I'd feel kinda shameful and will sound very unappreciative, but I have a feeling that these are "heh,,, not bad" kind of features... Nothing "wow!"
But I very much appreciate CM's work ... Already donated and will donate a lot more once the fingerprint scanner works

Been running stable for since release. Loving it honestly, stock kernel.
Edit; those running nightly build are probably & having crash issues are probably running the 1.45ghz kernel. I, however I used to, don't like sacrificing stability and battery life on an already bottlenecked phone.

Same here, I'm sitting on my hands waiting for a STABLE CM7 w FP. As soon as that hits my donation is as good as sent! Until then it just kinda feels like "here's something like a CMwFP build now stop talking about it" lol. It's amazing to me the pissed off reaction people give to posts vaguely mentioning FP in CM, just like I'm sure this post will be ridiculed. Oh well, when it happens I will be the first donator, I already have the $$ set aside waiting for it to be truly integrated.
Wired... I was on Ba2TF and flashed the FP version and couldn't be happier. I haven't had a single problem, even using DataDefender for apps. I have had no problems with making or receiving calls, getting into my phone or anything... It is a pretty stable build. However, I did do a nandroid of my Ba2TF just in case, but I am truyly happy with the FP build. Hope that helps.

FP build is working great for me also. No issues whatsoever!
I am running the Fingerprint build myself. I have been using it faithfully for a number of days now... 51 hours actually according to my "uptime". I am not a "power" user, but I am sim unlocked and play n64oid, and use my phone as an XBMC remote. Everything works for me. No calling issues so far. I did a factory reset, wiped dalvic after instal etc. Fingerprint works fine for me.
I've been running the FP version since the first hours of its release and have not had any issues with it at all so far. No problems with incoming/outgoing calls.

There should be no crashing in the FP build due to fp. It may perhaps be due to the overclocked kernel. We resolved the call issues with fp before we released. If you find any more please let us know.

He's basing the claim on what he's read from the wiki. If he took the time to test it (providing he backed up ofcourse ) then he would know that it works perfectly.

stock has landscape HDMI mirroring, CM7 has AOSP goodness and now fingerprint scanner...
such a hard decision, i pretty much switch back and forth every few days >.<
Could some please tell me if the scrolling in menus and application drawer (in Go Launcher or ADW in vertical mode) is smoother then on stock?
I've been using the stable plus FP for a week now and no problems but an wondering if anyone has figures put a way to her music controls and fp to work together ? If so I must be overlooking a setting and would appreciate the tip on how to do so.

Okay okay you talk me into it. I was not planning on beta testing it I wanted to wait for "the stable release" but you talked me into it. Still looking forward to its inclusion in the next Ba(3?)tF.. I will report back for its working for me a little later.. Time to get to downloading and do backups and such..

The FP is also included in yesterday's weekly release. I believe this weekly also includes the kernel changes faux was mentioning in his thread. I flashed it last night and I can defintely see a difference. Much snappier performance all around. And the added scroll feature with FP is very nice.

[ROM][4.4][P7300][WIP][HOMEMADE] OMNIRom, unstable, [3 Jan, 2014]

Ok, I get it to work, somehow.
It is an early release, not tested, use on your own risk!
It is not suitable to daily use, only for testing. It crashes often. It's not bad but this crashes are no-go for normal usage
I based on work from kasper_h and C-o-M so they should be credited for this.
I will post buildable sources later, but there are no changes from repos of this two guys, only some merging
As for gapps I used this one:
http://duckbox.info/android/gapps-wingray-kk-20131223.zip
but they are little buggy
you may try any from this thread or even some other for KK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593757
I am not sure what is working and what is not, but for sure these are working:
WiFi
Camera
3G
And HDMI output is broken as in every post-4.2 ROM
IT IS ONLY FOR P7300 VERSION (3G one)! When it wil be more stable I will build wifi version as well.
Ok, but you probably don't care about all of this and just want a dowload link
Here it is:
omni-4.4.2-20140103-p5-HOMEMADE.zip

Thanks to keep alive our tablet:good:

Thank you so much mate
so overall it's a great ROM and it has lots of working stuff in it like:
WIFI
Bluetooth
Camera [both] as for taking photos and panorama
Apps are working properly
Torch
3G
Power menu buttons
System UI
ART function seems to be working
GPS
Keyboard
Sound
but the not working stuff are quite huge, I know it is kind of alpha and early release
so this bug list is only to help you develop the ROM:
it is so laggy
lots of random hot reboot and some times normal reboot
lots of crashes
camera video recording
screenshot capture [Storage may be in use]
(which is why I didn't provide any screenshots)
Thank you again for your hard work
hope you'll be able to make this ROM better
Great! Since Kitkat is supposed to run better on slower devices i hope this one will be also faster than the older android versions

I dont plan to work on this feature as I have data-only card in tablet... Not before more important features.
and about screenshots they will probably never work. Guy from 10.1 tried to enable them and it causes even more UI lag...
Thanks for your work, man!
I was expecting for someone who will rebuild this rom for our tablets! (was reading gt 10.1 thread for a while).

I'll fix voice calling, as I use it sometimes.
BTW, our tablet need special patch for rotation animation:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/ac555b9ca9a76d13a26fc9ea40980fe57258761b
It requres rebase, though. Line 200 of services/java/com/android/server/wm/ScreenRotationAnimation.java is now line 223.
My own build still don't boot. Both boot.img and system files are broken after building..
Thanks for your work. In the 10.1 forum they have already a pretty good working version. Is it possible to use the same sources/manifests of the P75xx for the P73xx devices, so that whenever they do any changes that we also get the same changes for the P73xx?
 @DemonGloom: I think you already tried it?

Yes, we are using almost the same device trees. Just wait for @pax0r to build new version.
Currently I cannot get mic working in phone calls. Incoming/outgoing calls with headset works great.
BTW, @pax0r, should i post latest TWRP for our devices or CWM is good enough?

To be honest I would prefer one CWM, because then I can switch easily between Android 4.4 and the previous versions.
I don’t see any reason that TWRP doesn't do that for you

Rerooted
I received the update about 2 hours ago. I am on CWM. When I flashed the update I was asked if I wanted to keep my recovery and my recovery was not affected. I did however have to reroot by flashing supersu in recovery. Re flashed Viper4Android and re-enabled xposed no problem. I can not wait for Lollipop for this device. I have the Nexus 5 and gave the final Dev preview a run and it was awesome. There was a 'Miscellaneous' battery drain that I could not pinpoint so I reverted. If it weren't for that I would have kept it on my device. It will sure look awesome on this phone. I think it would be cool if there were more Nvidia green in the OS for the new colorful Lollipop 5.0.

Installed this update yesterday and today I'm having problems with touch screen, it goes crazy! Like detecting more fingers than the one i'm using to touch it.. LOL
Maybe a problem of the screen protector or could be a software problem??

None of the others did and nvidia allows you to unlock the bootloader so I doubt they'd make an effort to do that. There isn't anything to be worried about either way.

I haven't seen any issues myself but I wouldn't go pulling your screen protector if it was working fine with it before... I have even been swiping out my messages on the forum with my tablet and any device that had touch screen issues before would mess up doing that.

Upgraded to 2.0, Android 5.1 problems

I find that the device has lost much tablet functionality. The screen does not auto rotate and stays in landscape, there is no owner information tab to display on lock screen, Amazon apps and instant video will not sync. The device will not cast a screen anymore to a roku3. In general the 5.02 Android version 1.5 was a much better tablet user experience at least for me. I almost wish for a way to downgrade back 'til this is sorted! I had hoped Jide would not grow so fast that they dropped their focus of great software on adequate hardware. They now seem to have lost their way. I had supported as a kickstarter for ultra and mini with the thinking that they can help the developing world with that proposition......now chasing Intel x86 at the failing of the kick starter supported user experience. Quite a few titles from the Google play store do not run any longer on Remix OS 2.0. At least the GPS, camera, keyboard, Bluetooth, still seem to work. I had hoped this hardware and Jide would end the constant "testing" concept as it seems like working on custom ROMs again! My Pipo M6 pro is still pretty darn useful on custom ROMs! I hope Jide regains their focus! Great UI, good enough hardware!

do you have remix 2.0 on your Remix Ultra Tablet? How is the Ultra Tablet Working on 2.0, are any apps problematic , features not working? I am using a Remix Ultra Tablet on 2.0 Remix pre release version. I see a few bugs since updating from 1.5
Am I in the wrong forum?

For me, on my laptop, I don't see bug. I have remis os 2.0 on USB, and I boot from this USB. I play swordigo and other game, my laptop is digital. It's very big advantage on remix os. I don't see any problem. it lacks the root and the battery indicator.

Glad I found this Forum on XDA, because the JIDE forum is a hot mess and pretty much useless. The old forum was much better over there.
Anyway, I digress; I haven't "updated" to the 2.0 yet on my ultra-tablet because right now, I have ROOT on my device and I'm pretty sure there is no way to ROOT the new 2.0 OS yet. Am I correct in assuming so?

I think it smart to be working with XDA and X86 as the more crappy old PC's that can be !made useful the better. It's amazing the folks wanting to make these their entire command center for a home theater. Maybe they should write code and get a PI of whatever flavor they want!
Anyway, I was hoping to hear from other Remixers who've put 2.0 on thier Ultra, and what issues they have had. I do not see Jide responding to any issues anywhere....just kumbaya.
I think they were hoping to be bought up before they actually need to run a business! Perhaps just another piece of Android technology from the CH. Ina corp that is build it and move on.
I thought their concept of more with less was good for the developing world as opposed to less with more ala Apple and MS. Frankly I've been pretty happy with Nexus devices and cheap hardware on custom roms.(also a more with less proposition) My Pipo M6 pro on custom roms with a Logitech keyboard does everything this can all be it slower.
We'll see if Jide delivers, or fades....I am sure they are in over the heads, the fact that people want to root or custom to! Tells you their software solution may not be needed. Their hardware does not warrant development more than Android sticks do.
They claim to be making themselves a software outfit, but the Nexus 9, Cube and other devices have not seen any love lately.
Time will tell. Back to 2.0 update issues for the remix ultra...

Glad I found this Forum on XDA, because the JIDE forum is a hot mess and pretty much useless. The old forum was much better over there.
Anyway, I digress; I haven't "updated" to the 2.0 yet on my ultra-tablet because right now, I have ROOT on my device and I'm pretty sure there is no way to ROOT the new 2.0 OS yet. Am I correct in assuming so?

I'm running the new 2.0 update and have root. You just need to boot into the CWM recovery (or flash it) that was posted in the old Jide forums, then flash the latest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. I haven't tested swapping out the stock launcher yet, as I'm really digging the new features, like desktop mode. AdAway worked perfectly, so I can confirm that root is working for at least some aspects.

Did Google calendar install and is usable? Mine can't write to drive, installed but says calendar storage is not turned on in system? Also their stupid feedback link on the shut down screen does not work since no feed back app in drawer. Did your upgrade install one that works? For whatever reason Amazon app store won't sync apps....do you use any Amazon stuff? Is it good? Trying to decide if I should blow it away and re upgrade if mine did not get all it should...seems to be at least stable and most of the hardware does seem to function correctly outside of my display seems to ghost quite terrible after the upgrade! Also Google photos seems unable to see device folders and g+ loads an app that still puts a photos app into your device....real odd!

Google Calendar fails to load on mine for the same reason. My install didn't include a feedback agent (and I think that's common across everyone's builds). I haven't tried the Amazon apps yet, so I can't comment on their usability. I will say that my display was ghosting hardcore even before the upgrade, so the 2.0 upgrade didn't affect that one way or the other. I just tried the Google Photos app and it sees my wallpaper folders in the /SDCARD partition OK, so I'm not sure what's happening on your device for it not to see them.

I can't believe the old CWM v6.0.5.1 still works on the new update and more importantly, no one has figured out how to get TWRP or a "newer" version of CWM working? I guess, if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Thanks for the information. Will upgrading to "2.0" wipe the userdata? I don't care about re-installing apps, etc... just worried about all my media content on the device currently.
I used Kingroot as on device root. Is working so far, but can't use SuperSU. Need to stick with kingroot...

As the instructions say save/backup your data! It seemed to be a complete erase reinstall from what mine did...be sure to pop out your micro sd as some discussions made it sound like sometimes it got caught up in the fun......?

Thanks. Then I guess I'm going to have to wait a while. I've got too many .mkv files on the device and it would take forever to transfer > PC < back to Tablet.

So I tried this with my ultratablet, just wanted to boot to recovery first to make sure it works. Doing a "fastboot boot recovery.img" I get the remix logo but it doesn't ever boot into cwm it just locks up. Anything special I need to do before?

unofficial Lineage OS 17.1 ?

Just stumbled upon this, but it seems kinda sketchy referring to @Quallenauge (who's listed as inactive - sorry if you aren't ) and XDA, but having no thread about it here on XDA...

Has anyone made the plunge? Brick, bugs or badass?

I haven't applied for reactivating my XDA state
You can try this version, but make sure you perform the migration script (official -> unofficial) if needed.
I was too lazy to create a new topic for this version. I have a YTX703L and it runs as good LOS16.1 runs. So I found no show stoppers.
Works pretty well
works pretty well...but ive flicker and glitches on the display...its getting less in the last build...will you go on and work on the newest Android version ?
thanks for your great work

thanks
update
updated again
lineage-17.1-20200424-UNOFFICIAL-YTX703F
works pretty good with android 10
Installed lineage-17.1-20200424-UNOFFICIAL-YTX703F.zip and plan to play around with it a little.
How do I get exfat support back for this unofficial version? Yoga tab 3 is useless for me without exfat as I use it as my mobile movie theater
Really appreciate the work of Lineage team! Good stuff...

Hi
I've been watching these forums like a hawk trying to get my tablet to run smooth considering the bad software from Lenovo.
Would you say it's working well with this version?
If the battery life is good and the bugs aren't too many , I wanna try it!
My now Lineage 16 is working alright, the tablet is fast but the battery is not as good as stock sadly.
Is is good enough for a daily driver?

Have been experiencing some lock up after long idle time. I mostly use my Yoga to watch movies and use MX Player. A few times would find launcher unresposive when come back from work and the only recovery is to power cycle. I do get restart option on long press of power button, but when choose to restart tablet does not come back on its own.
As for the battery, I've decided to attempt rebuilding it using new individual cells. Will post my results if I succeed or not.
Once/if battery issue is resolved, I probably will roll back to Lineage 16 and wait for a stable 17 release.
Just installed, working well
Thanks very much to the dev for continuing to release builds for this device. Just upgraded from OS16 today. Install worked really well with no issues. So far it's running nicely. New gesture navigation system is working in Trebuchet launcher, so now my phone and tablet are the same, it was annoying before having different interfaces on different devices. Excellent work, thanks a lot!
The last update was 10.08.2020, do we see a new one?
It looks like as we get no more updates, so I will go back to 16.
Sorry
surprise, surprise. Just after I went back to 16 a new 17.1 update arrived, dated 17.09.2020. I did a dirty install and it worked out.
Thanks
However, I am still wondering if it is worth switching from 16 to 17
If you are happy with Android 9 , keep it. If you are willing to have Android 10 than go for it. What new, I have no idea.
