ASUS Announces 547457547 new versions of the Zenfone 2

http://www.phonearena.com/news/New-...mputex-with-laser-auto-focus-on-board_id69969
This is going to make the custom ROM scene for this line of phones, if it ever exists, a nightmare. And it's the exact reason why I just may not purchase this phone now. Who in their right mind is going to make ROMs to support the 8000000 versions of the Zenfone 2 (if the right things even happen to allow it)?

I know right. Some many Models its hard to keep up with them. I'm sticking with the Intel version, because its just a repeat of the first generation of the ZenFones and the Intel version overpowers the Snapdragon 410 and 615. I just hope we get an unlocked bootloader and Official Root.:thumbup:

this is madness..and yet they still didnt unlock bootloader for ze551ml and keep releasing newer model..but the i am most disappointed by asus for they support on lollipop, android OS is acting like crazy on this android 5.0r2..they should focus on improving this intel version first before they get blamed by older users..

Intel powered Zenfone 2's will still continue to be Flagships. The newer Versions, i.e. Selfie, Zenfone 3 and these New Snapdragons are no competition to our device. Asus is lagging in updates. It should have fixed the battery issues by now. Asus must give users an option to Install stock AOSP on our devices. ZenUi might be great, it is also heavy on system resources and battery.

its simply like the exynos vs snapdragon time of the samsung series.. no biggie.

Well actually from what I seen.. all four ZE551ML variants (2gb z3560, 4gb z3560, 4gb z3580 32gb, 4gb z3580 4gb) have single rom and ZE550ML have separate rom...so i dont think there will be a problem...

The model numbers surely will confuse lots of users, ZE500ML is Intel and ZE500KL is Snapdragon, I predict lots of hard bricks...

Well that's good to know. I am still now leaning towards getting a used LG G3. A lot less confusion there to say the least, and I will get it for less than $300, so win-win in those two aspects.

Really considering the Note 4 Pro, is this Global rom compatible with the model in the link below?
I think that's the cheapest I can find the pro model for, been debating between the Note 3 Pro, which is slight cheaper and also still looks like a great handset but I like the build and look of the note 4 better. How do you find the camera performance in the latest update? I've seen a couple of reviews where the camera was rated quite poorly? It's not a deal breaker for me as long as its usable which it appears to be.

Hey,
yes this ROM is for the phone you linked. Right now there is only the Redmi Note 4, the "pro" was given to it by the shop.
Don't buy from tinydeal! Stay away from tinydeal!
For price check use kimovil: kimovil xiaomi-redmi-note-4-3gb-32gb
Geekbuying has the 32GB right now on a sale, in general the price for it is around 210$ on all shops.
When the phone isn't on sale then Gearbest is the cheapest (as kimovil proves), link here: Gearbest Redmi Note 4 - 32GB
... so tinydeal is more expensive and not trust worthy, please stay away from it.
Concerning the camera, later next week (probably on the weekend) I will do a low light camera comparison between Mi5, Moto G4 Plus and the Redmi Note 4, have a look at it and judge. (I don't like to share opinions, it's best if people can judge themselves.)

Thanks I've bought previously from tiny deal and the phone was fine although it had potential spy ware on it, which was removed with the flash of firmware. I'll check out the other links though thanks.
I thought that was the 'pro' version as it's the 64gb model? Thanks again I'll look for your further review.

Looked at the link. What happened is Tinydeals are using wordplay to label it as "Pro". Just because they are pre installing the Global Rom and its the best hardware configuration available, 3gb of Ram/64gb of storage.
It is however not the Pro version that is rumored and likely to be released in a few months that will feature a Snapdragon processor (likely 652), come factory built with the Global Rom and different Radio Band support (including US lte bands like 2/4).
The other difference is likely going to be battery life and the fact that the real Pro version will be built for Global market and thus get long-term Global Rom official support.
Arguably the biggest difference (as seen between the MTK and SD Redmi Note 3) is software. The SD version has source code released which means custom roms. Also the SD version wont be stuck on MM and likely to be updated to pass Nougat 1 way or another.

Ah yes I see now, hence why people are requesting a pro model featuring a sd processor.
I still might need to get it now as I would be selling my current handset to raise some funds for something else. I'm not bothered by custom rom support if I'm honest, though it is nice to fall back on if xiaomi don't come through with the updates. That's why I'm half considering the redmi note 3 pro, as it seems to tick a lot of boxes.
I've currently got a galaxy S7 which is very good but not perfect (though pretty close). Pretty much nothing will touch it in the camera department, but I find the fingerprint sensor just OK, it fails to match all the time which is annoying and I think xiaomis implementation is better (both placement and tech wise). The audio is also a bit lacking on the s7, it's fine on the loud speaker (although it's a bit lower due to waterproofing). Audio also isn't that great over ear or head phones. Other than that most things are very good, battery isn't bad but again it's even better with xiaomis 4000mah battery.

Ah well the Samsung Galaxy S7 is nice and excel in the hardware department across the board. Only topped by the HTC 10 in certain areas. S7 definitely is the best back camera on the market. However its Software side is a huge shortcoming. It has an expiration date and performance drops in about half a year. It's like having a 4k 3D Smart 60" TV and being able to only watch VHS on it.
The Redmi Note 3 Pro has better battery life, fingerprint scanner, Audio customization but not to be confused with power. It's headphone jack is weaker than most. The loudspeaker placement or volume isn't the best either. But the sound has much better control because Viper4Android is easy to install. Also the battery is better but not as big of a gap as it used to now on Miui 8 Marshmallow. Battery efficiency lowered from Miui 7 Lollipop.
Day to day use, it performs like a beast. No force closes, hiccups or freezing. Definitely the best phone available in the $100 - $350 bracket.

Hey, you need the sp flash tools and drivers to make it work. Did you fix it so far? Do you still need help?

The "pro" after the model name tells you that it's the Chinese version and not the global version. Dunno what will happen once the actual pro version comes out tho

U probably need to unlock the bootloader first. I suppose it's to deter people from buying the cheaper China version and just installing the global rom on it.

Nah, fastboot flash on MTK shall work anyway, doesn't matter if the boot-loader is locked or unlocked.

Edit: There is no global version of any Xiaomi phone. Doesn't matter if it's "pro" or non "pro". Some phones are made for e.g. India as in India Xiaomi can't sell MTK powered phones....

Help!! Leeco lemax 3

Got my hands on the unreleased lemax 3 (don't ask how) but the eui sucks and the phone has too many bugs, I just wanted to know that is there any rom in which I could use it
PICS AND SCREENSHOT:-https://imgur.com/gallery/c8RiH
Specs :- sd 821, 13mp dual cam nd 16 front, 6gb ram 64 gb storage, 2k display

You got that phone...? How?! It's unreleased! Please give me detailed specifications of the device. If not here, then PM me.
Also, as for the answer to your question, you won't find any ROMs for that device right now cause.. well, it's unreleased

Well i was just thinking that I can install the rom of lemax 2 or pro 3,
as for the device I got it from a company worker as u can see in the pics it has some serial no printed in the whole phone
It's specs are :- 2560*1440 resolution 5.7 inch screen, Android 60.1, snapdragon 821 with 6 gb ram 64 gb storage, 4000 mah battery 13 mp dual cam secondary is black and white cam front 16mp.

How will you install the ROM? Since it's unreleased, there's no recovery. Moving on, you can try installing a ROM from the Le Pro 3 forums, but it'll surely be extremely unstable and buggy. Probably even more so than your EUI. Still, if you're determined.. try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/rom-paranoid-android-t3635168
And finally, I had been planning to buy a Le Pro 3 this Christmas, but now if the Le Max 3 is coming.. Do you know when will the phone release and what will be the expected price??
Lastly, if I helped you in any way, please press my thanks button. It slightly helps

@anmolsraj Where did you purchase the phone, from what reseller? Please don't say TinyDeal.. I was about to order one there, it might have saved me from a doomed day.
Please let us know from what source you got your device. It looks like a weird model because those models normally have one camera sensor and not two (in the rear)? Yeah the cool dual has two cams but the x7xx models should not have them?

That's because that phone is an Le Max 3. An unreleased phone. The OP must've got it from a friend who's related to LeEco. Don't expect to get it as of now.

I looked at TinyDeal on uhm trustpilot. Not going to buy it there haha..
Looks like they buy and ship after buying stock hence the price they also declare the item as its real value. Meaning that customs will rape ya.

Too bad.. I was hoping that this phone would work with Android Nougat, so that we could extract the ROM from it.
We could then have port it on the Max2 or Pro3.

Should I buy this phone?

Hi everyone!
As my ZUK Z2 got stolen, I'm currently thinking about buying this phone... But I'd like you all to tell me what the pros and cons are. Also I have this doubt: When it comes to "LeEco Le Pro3" on xda... does it include "elite version"? 'cause the one I'm thinking about is the "x722" one, which is called "LeEco Le Pro3 elite" and I do not know whether all this development belongs to sd821(x720, x725 and x727) or sd820(x722).
Thanks in advance!

The x727 and the x720 are the same phone more or less. I have the x727 and it's been a good phone. However you need to work on it - put a custom ROM for it to really be worth it. Also with Leeco's troubles I'd say a warranty isnt there despite what some sellers lead you to believe. Still it's fast good screen sounds good with stereo speakers.

I'm sorry to hear about your Z2. And there are two distinct development sections for the Pro3 in this forum. One is specifically for the x722. Scroll down.
The x720 and x727 have the Snapdragon 821 and NFC. The Elite (x722) does not, and has a Snapdragon 820. The x722 is a good phone but I often find myself needing more storage. 32 gigs simply isn't enough if you like to listen to music and game on your phone. Performance is good. There are now custom Oreo ROMs for the device.
My only issue is crappy build quality and some screen issues (just read through 2 pages of this Q&A sub-forum and you'll see what I mean) and no official kernel sources. Only the x720's kernel sources were released. We work off those, and that means buggier ROMs. If you can, get the x720 and get a variant with more than 32 gigs of storage. You'll thank me later.
It's also all too easy to brick this phone, and there's no QFIL file to revive it. I know the Z2 has a QFIL file. Well, so does the x720. But the x722 doesn't have one.
And the x720's QFIL doesn't work for the x722. So if your phone gets permabricked somehow... you're screwed forever, unless someone is able to provide us with an alternate solution. Just look at my signature and this forum's sticky.

I wanted to chime in and add to what everyone else has said.
In my opinion you should buy the X727 or the X720. I have 2 X727's and 2 X522 ( my Kids) and I absolutely love these phones, I saved so much money and bought my entire family a phone for less than I paid for just one phone is the past.
I have not seen the X722 in person. But I must say the quality of the X727 is as good as any phone you will find. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S7, it sits in a drawer and never gets used at all, not anymore.
My only complaint with the X727 was the stock software. This was resolved by upgrading to a custom Rom and there is alot to choose from 6 or 7 different versions of Nougat ( Paranoid, Omni, AICP, Revolution Remix, Lineage) and and an equal amount of fully supported roms for Oreo ( Lineage, AICP, AOSIP,Pixel Experience, as well as a few roms that you can find on other sites)
The development community is strong, full of very helpful people that will be glad to help you if you need help or have a simple question. Additionally, with the X727 and X720 you can use the outstanding Pixel ported Camera ( Not sure if it works for the X722)
I hope this helps.
PS: If you buy the phone, consider buy it on Amazon, they provide an excellent warranty and will fully reimburse you if anything goes wrong.

I do not see the situation so pessimistically. BTW, I checked the hint of tsongming, the MallStop sells on Amazon the Le 3 Pro for $188 the 4/64 GB version. What a steal!
My X722 (Elite/SD820 4/32GB $200) lost its EUI 5.8.020 very quickly - what a load of crap it is!
The Lineage 15.1, albeit in "version 1.0" unlocks the power of the HW perfectly and beautifully. Even Lineage 14.1 (Nougat) is quite usable.
The stand by discharge is 0.2%/hr, fast charging with conservative 2.5 A, adjustable OS performance ... everything works for me just fine.
Exceed my expectations, alright.
Warranty? Who needs the stinky warranty? At that price, I'd toss the bricked phone and buy another one.
Le Eco has a firesale. There won't be many at that price for too long. https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-leeco-letv-le-pro-3-x722

Thank you all guys... What I've seen so far is that I'd be more convenient to buy the x720 one due to its posibility of reviving by QFIL (special thanks to @sk8223 for clarifying about QFIL). I like testing new things over my phones and wouldn't like to mess it up for forever (besides the fact of losing my money)... So I think I gotta set aside more money and buy x720 version.
Thank you all for replying!!

@sk8223 bro i got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078V3LBDG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1X9S24G399N9V&psc=1
It's used but many people have told me: "used things on amazon are pretty good". I got this question: since it's the x727 model... Does the qfil from x720 work on x727 version?

Yeah, but it might cause your device to be detected as an x720. But there's a simple build prop fix for that in the x720's QFIL thread.
Also, used phones from third-party sellers on Amazon or from even U.S. retailers aren't necessarily good. There was a thread here a while back about someone who bought an x727 locally in the U.S. through Google Express and their phone ended up BSODing.

You always take risks when buying these types of discontinued devices.

I read it completely... I'm a little scared now. I do not want to get a BSOD... I have the option to buy the x722 version at US$159 (totally new) but i wouldn't like to brick it, I'm always testing things on phones and it's not easy for me to set aside money. I thik I'll have to take the risk.
BTW, any page to see discounts on smartphones? (skipping kimovil.com)

I don't know of any discount pages. Just Google for coupons for the store you plan to buy from. I saw the x722 get discounted to $130 USD and lower with cashback. A definite buy at that price. I bought mine for that price but I now realize that the 32 gig version is simply too little for me. I can barely fit my music collection on there let alone games for emulators like PPSSPP or Android games. Only 3 gigs of storage left so I plan on selling this device now that I have a Redmi Note 4.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good phone with a way better build quality and specs than the RN4 but no headphone jack + expandable storage = massive mistake. I can get used to no headphone jack but not 32 gigs of storage... takes me back to my iPhone 5 days. I wish I could keep it but alas.
If you buy it new online you're still taking a risk, but that risk is mitigated if you pay via PayPal and record your unboxing. Make sure you test every feature possible on camera so you have proof if something goes wrong.

I would not recommend buying this the company who sell this is bad shape.
I should you give them the money if they will not back their product.
I hope they sink the rest of the way!!

Build prop edit to disable ois lineage?

Hi my camera either works or it doesn't depending on when I last dropped my phone so I was wondering if there is a buildprop edit that will disable the ois on the camera.
I saw on here the instructions for a OnePlus 2 in one of the sun forums so that is where the idea came from.
My only other option to consider is maybe seeking out a phone with a Samsung isocell camera and fitting it to see if the drivers work for it since it would be in the same family.
Someone on ZTE community recommended a camera from another axon 7 but that defeats the point. I might aswell just use that and keep my one as spares but I'd rather seek a fix rather than a new purchase.
My axon 7 is a 2017u model I bought in Canada but I am currently living back home in England. I am moving back next year so the 2017u is better for me on the network I use there.
I am also eagerly awaiting official 8.0 and lineage 15 as I will be looking to try both. Though finding it hard to get my head around the files needed to flash (bootstacks etc) as I came from a nexus 6p and nexus 5 previous so flashing to me was a doddle.
Cheers
John

A camera from another phone model is not gonna work, like, ever, unless it is the exact same sensor... dob't even think about it. But from another axon7, yeah.
Oreo B01 and B12 have been released by NFound as flashables, they are both official 8.0 and you don't need anything else (besides magisk of course) to flash them since they are aroma zips with the modems bundled. just select which modem you want and you're fine

Cheers...I will wait to see if anyone can guide me to a buildprop edit to maybe disable the OIS then...
Also quick question. What is with the b numbers for ROMs. I would have thought the Oreo ROM would be one number but you quote 2 different variants.
Is there a guide somewhere about that so I can catch up to the whole scene from the beginning of the axon 7
Cheers

No, we planned to do one but just didn't eventually.
There are 3 models: A2017 which is from China, A2017G which is Int'l, and A2017U for the US. These 3 models have different developer teams for some reason.
So the Chinese and U devs number all of their betas, and for example, in this case the first official update to Oreo would have been around B15 (They don't start from B01, they just count until they get a stable one and release it). So, that's why they skip numbers; for example on the U you have B32 and then came B35, because there were two unreleased betas in the middle. This causes the build numbers to go up a crapton.
The updates are usually labeled A2017xVx.x.xBxx. V1.0.0 is Marshmallow, and then Nougat may be V1.2.0 for example. But they all use different naming schemes and it's a mess.
The G team never skips numbers. For example the Oreo update is called B01. Nougat and Marshmallow also had B01 as the first versions. This way it's much easier because they don't skip any numbers, but you don't know how many betas it went through
In this case Oreo is A2017GV1.3.0B01
I don't believe disabling OIS from build.prop is possible

Cheers anyways. I installed the new unnofficial 15.1 lineage and the camera has been fine since so all is good at the moment.
Very happy chappy here. Glad I kept the phone and waited to take it to android 8
