I have a question?

I'm seriously thinking of buying one of these with the "1.7GHz octa-core Cortex-A7 CPU; 2 GB of RAM" version.
I'm not real happy and the operating system but I have read that lollipop has been installed and there are instruction for doing so.
However it did not state which version it was installed on?
Will it work on all versions?
Thanks...

The only one I saw was Android 5.0 for Mi 2/2S at the Miui site.
Where did you see one for the Note?

Help me find out if it will work on the model I want, if you don't mind.
Or is there a stock android rom for this phone
Thanks...

I am using this ONE
VANILA_XAN vs v2
It is 4.2.2, but it is better than using Miui

I used the translation addon for Firefox.
I also joined the forum, since they have a lot of ROM's.
SEE HERE
Here is AOSP ROM.

I have that feature but I did not notice it at the top of the page.
I like these roms better better

The obstacle against better ROM's is the lack of the kernel source.
This why developers here don't do much with Miui.
Don't see this changing, so just have to find ROM's elsewhere.

Maybe things will break loose before long because they are selling a lot of these devices.
BTW; Will these roms you pointed me to work on the version I'm interested in?

I have the Redmi Note 1W. It was sent to me by a friend in Malaysia.
Can only get 3G as it lacks the bands for LTE.
There is a newer version out for 4G/LTE.
Not sure if it has the bands necessary for the U.S. since it is sold in Asia
and Europe.

MIUI on the V20

So some people may call me crazy, but will there ever be a MIUI ROM for the V20?

Not at the moment.. May be if the device gets popular

Ive ported MIUI in the past. I MIGHT do it again. problem being is I don't think MIUI is on Android N yet. I was actually thinking of porting it but right now is a no. Im about to switch jobs so everything is a tossup.

There's a beta of MIUI on 7.0, but hasn't been released. And even that, it's on an older, slower Qualcomm or MediaTek device. So we'd need to get a build from the Mi 5S Plus for us to be able to port.

When I did MIUI previously I do not believe I actually did it from another device(it was like 4-6 years ago so i don't really remember). It just needed the same OS version.

MIUI 9

Please don't bump threads that have been inactive for over a year.

I sure hope so. I just wonder if the second screen, dual rear cameras, camera app and the quad DAC will work afterwards on MIUI.

Why not?
Wouldn't it be better than starting a new thread to ask the same question?
And, I'm guessing you'd be the first to tell us to "Use the search function"...

This or...

Hey guys, this phone seems really appealing but I'm struggling to find reliable reviews of it. Currently undecided between this and that Oneplus 5... Anyone in a similar situation or have an opinion to share?

Well - in terms of specs this phone is really appealing, but don't know if they are gonna release a global version of the device.

I am in the same situation
regarding the love that the rom creators will bring in, i think that the oneplus will be the better choice, but i like the nubia and it's specs.
Plus, the price is unbeatable.

Haha yeah, I don't think there'll be much ROM support for the Nubia Z17, but already a few weeks or so after release they've pushed out a new OTA update, as well as updates for other phones. Hopefully they'll be well supported with Android O :/
I live in the UK so will have to import this model anyway, and found a great deal on:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/ZTE-Nubia-Z17-5-5-Inch-6GB-64GB-Smartphone---Black-380167.html
I used the Honey extension on Chrome and that saved me £20! It doesn't tell me what the code is unfortunately, so can't post it here for any that are interested.
I checked the bands/frequencies and it covers the UK ones I require, and it's a 'worldwide' model. It just seems a bit strange to me that even on the Nubia/ZTE site it's not on there. But I'm gonna go for it...

Plus those edge control gestures seem to actually be loads better than the Samsung and HTC U11 ones... Correct me if I'm wrong though!

How much did you end up paying?

£350 (not £20 in the end, just £10)

I have one and it's beautiful. Build and feel of the device is amazing. Problem is there is no Google Play/Framework support yet and no root or TWRP. So I'm pretty much waiting. I hear some suppliers are shipping them with global ROM's with Google support.
If anyone can link me to a Global ROM it would be greatly appreciated. Can't wait to fully utilize this beast!

So how is the camera quality?

Beat review and camera samples I could find:

I've also seen comparisons between this, Xiaomi Mi6 and Huawei P10 cameras where this seems to outperform them

Haven't done any comprehensive testing with it yet. But from my short time with it, it's really nice and has some cool features. I always enjoy Nubia's camera software suite.

Do they release their kernel sources early?

Not that I have seen. I check out the Nubia forums daily to see if there's any development

正在使用z17，唯一困扰我的就是目前不能解锁bl和root，我期待能够使用原生的android rom，nubia ui真的不好用

Is using z17, the only trouble I am now can not unlock bl and root, I look forward to be able to use the original android rom, nubia ui really hard to use

Does anyone think it's weird that there aren't many reviews and basically no xda forum on the Z17? Is it just because it's mainly confined to China for now (despite there being a global version available to buy/import online)? Kinda starting to question my purchase now XD

It's still a very new phone. Forum pages on here take a while to spin up for rare Chinese phones. Things will slowly begin to develop and trickle in.

Thank you for your translation

This phone goes toe to toe with OP5 but better priced. If kernel sources are made available then we'll see development for sure.

LTE Band Locking:

Hey Guys,
I'm planning to buy this device but before that I would like to know if Pro M2 allows you to Lock LTE Frequency using *#*#4636 *#*#* ? . I recently came across some brands like Samsung blocks Engineer Mode for LTE access(*#*#0011#*#*).
I knew most of the Stock Android phones do allow LTE Band access so curious if Pro M2 supports from the real life users ! Thanks !

No, none of the two you mentioned work

Brilliant! I've just been thinking about getting a spare battery How easy is it to change? If anyone has changed one from personal experience?
