The above post URL seems to be ZUK Z2 pro variant kernel source code. Zuk Z2 and Lenovo Z2 are different mobiles. Zuk z2 comes with AMOLED display and 3100 mah Battery but Lenovo Zuk Z2 comes with LCD display and 3500 mah battery.
Have a look at Lenovov Zuk Z2 kernel source code at lenovo site
http://support.lenovo.com/in/en/products/Phones/ZUK-Series/Z2-Plus/downloads/DS118514
Lenovo does not have a good record in releasing the kernel source code but this times they surprised us.
Hope this helps.

Package is named z2_plus_hw_osc_Z2132_2.0.093.7z on zuk site in OP.
I could download it and it contains more than just kernel osc.
direct link for convenience:
developer.zuk.com/downfile?did=16
Although, the on one Lenovo's site seems to be larger in size; i'll check that one out too.
EDIT:
Nevermind, both are same package. Lenovo just did not compress it well.

ZUK Z2 and Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus are exactly the same phone. Both use an LTPS IPS panel, and have since the beginning.
It's only the ZUK Z2 Pro that uses an AMOLED.

Same here! CM will come, just wait for some time. The device is still relatively new (read: yet to become popular) in dev community

Moto G4 Plus vs Lenovo Z2 Plus [URGENT]

Hello Everyone,
I bought a Moto G4 Plus a few months back but returned it as it was defective. Now I will be ordering another phone tomorrow, but now I am confused between two - Moto G4 Plus and Lenovo Z2 Plus( Zuk Z2), I feel that Z2 Plus is better in all aspects except the camera. Can someone please tell me how is the Camera of Moto G4 plus and if possible please compare it with the Z2 plus.
Also, if possible please suggest which phone should I buy.
Specs -
Z2 Plus - Snapdragon 820, 3500 Mah battery, 13MP camera(No OIS), 3GB RAM

Sounds like you'd be trading more performance for a better camera if you went with the G4. It's kinda up to you with what's more important.

Camera is a priority but performance stands higher.
But the Z2 also costs 50$ more so I can't decide.

As your name suggest you are an indian.And the g4 plus that are sold on amazon.in have many issues i.e all the g4 phone which are manufactured in india are a bit defective.Like overheat and screen burn are the two main problem I have seen .Zuk z1 was good and i think zuk z2 would be great. 4k rs investing more will give you a big jump in the specs
Z2

Z2 Plus Probably the second best after Oneplus3/3t.

Best hardware with cheap price .
With custom roms like DU ,lineage it will break the records.
I hope developers keep supporting z2 plus.
And we will have the android O ...P...Q maybe R.
 @varotone , @davidevinavil - You both are main lead devs for z2 plus currently.what do you say ?
Maybe 2nd best after 1+3 in processor, but everything else is just ok. I got the Zuk Z2 just because I wanted to downsize to a smaller phone (from Nexus 6P). I do wish it got a better camera and front facing speakers, but that's a dream that wont happen.
yeah! me too from xperia z2 .The camera was superb on z2 but not on this z2 but it is kind of ok ok.
And the best is its form factor .A very premium look and feel .

Frame Rate Issues.

Is it only me or is it for all that moto g4 plus gives a very low frame rate when using custom roms while the same rom works flawlessly on some other device? For eg i have both moto g4 plus and lenovo vibe k5 plus. Though vibe has less memory and less powerful cpu as compared to moto, still RRN works better on vibe as compared to that on moto g4 plus.
If there is any solution for screen rate fix suggestions are welcome.

Drivers for Sony IMX362 camera sensor

Hi. Our Moto G5 Plus have Sony IMX362 camera sensor. Specifications look great, we can find this model also in Moto Z2 Play, Asus Zenfone 4 and HTC U11/U11+ - these phones take great photos, but Moto G5 Plus... just not bad. Is it possible to improve quality of photos by installing drivers (modified) on Moto G5 Plus from other device?
Yes, I know phones like U11 have optical image stabilisation. I'm using tripod.
