I know not strictly in the right place but because of my post count I'm not allowed to put it where it should go...
Just wanted to say thanks to all involved in the above mention ROM, have just completed the install and I have to say what an amazing piece of work! The visual enhancements alone are superb. I'm keeping fingers crossed battery life is enough for my needs and eagerly awaiting the rumoured updates. I would say to anyone pondering this ROM, try it!
Also a small mention to the community on this site, all questions are usually answered somewhere. Had a few 'head scratching' moments at first but a bit of judicial searching revealed all the answers.
I bought my HD2 second had with the express intention of 'having a play' to see what could be achieved and with you guys help I now have what I consider to be the best handset I have used (and there have been a few, including the one that shouldn't be mentioned here!).
A huge thanks to all, keep up the good work...
Hey guys,
First let me go through the back story : recently I was on a different phone... and had to watch a TON of drama between a dev team and a single dev... COMPLETELY destroyed my views on this forum board and was about to just bail and say screw it all, due to this being my 3rd android device and the same team over the span of 4 years have caused the same amount of drama on all 3 devices and nothing has happened to them.
Now fast forward :
Someone told me about the OPO, so of course I googled some reviews, and then come here and see how much support was actually being given. And i said "you know what, ill just lay low, not be a fan of any devs so if/when drama breaks out I'm not biased" ... I have been amazed to how drama free this device's development teams are. THANK YOU. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! You all work so hard, you help each other, and you do it all for free! This is what makes a great community. I just hope that "earlier stated dev team" does not make their way over here..... as it will only lead to drama.
All a recap, every single one of you, devs, testers, and end users, are awesome. And I just wanted to say thank you, and lets keep this community for the OPO a great one.
Great speech man!This is the way to go!
For drama visit the Oppo one+ official forums... lol
Yeah support is pretty good here
Hello guys! I would like to leave a message of thank you to every each one of you present at this forum. I must say we are a great community. I've learned on 4 months more than what I would learn at university about programing C, Java, Linux and many other tools available to developers. Before going on vacation, I thought of leaving this thanks because it leaves me quite happy how people are amazing.
For instance, when i started my ROM project at March , i had a computer where took me 6 hours to compile a ROM. Imagine the patient to sort bugs, build problems and many other things I couldn't even move myself to improve further since i was learning and solving a small build error, which took exactly 1-2 hours by each try to see if worked, or when I had to restart the compilation, since i had to clean the build and start all over again. There were some kind people which donated, and I invested that money on machine parts to continue improving the rom and to deliver better results. But the truth was that, I had a very old computer, and concluded quickly that I had to buy a new machine. Since I had no money for it, I thought on developing apps until I was able to buy one. By luck, there was a member which was kind enought to share a server, and since then it took me around 1 hour and 30 min to make a complete compilation here i shared with this community a mix of commits from many developers, where i try to bring an improved and better ROM.
I've learned quite alot, as also had small miss understandings with some people. But thats part of life right? Even so, I think i can call easily call them "friends" since we've been together in this forum.
I want to thank for all patient and wonderfull support done by @savoca , because if wasn't him I would problably taken much longer. He is so amazing that he took around 2-3 hours per day of his time to help. I'm gratefull about it. He is an amazing developer. Very patient and a great friend.
I also went in panic many times over building a ROM. And @katinatez was there to help. He was always ready to do it quickly
There are also other developers such as: @Sultanxda @Lord Boeffla @ZaneZam @ak @DerRomtester @Setting.Out @dorimanx and all of those people which supported and donated for this. Thanks to you, I learned really alot, but still am a novice.
Just wanted to leave this message to you guys of thanks, because It's really great to know people which share their knowledge for free. Is not for everyone that. You guys proven on this forum, and on your life that you are all sucessfull in what you do, and i am really proud to know you all.
Cheers have a great day and wonderfull summer!
Best regards,
Jorge

Thank you!
We're lucky to have people like you give up their time (money, whatever else!) to improve the user experience, further development and increase the enjoyment of our device.
Enjoy your vacation!

It was a random guy selling it by the train station where I lived. I was skeptical at first as it could've been stolen but at the end of the day I had my head am filming so I just took video of the transaction. Got it $15 cheaper than what the store was offering it for with a discount with a month of activation. Sounded fair to me.
The screen is what sold me. So much space to it. A Google search later and I was sold on it from the processor, screen size, and internal space. For $35 it wasn't bad.
Tinkering with it these few months has been nice. I've never owned an LG device before this one, can't say I will after though. I'm a Samsung/ZTE kind of guy. Those companies love the developers.
LG released source code like 4-5 months after the phones release, which really sucked development wise. We were pretty much screwed from the getgo.
A year later and there's not much development done for it but we do have the people making the effort still and that is what development is about. The ability to keep trying g no matter how long it takes. Who knows? Maybe we will find something new, or maybe LG will give us a new platform update (mm or n).
In the meantime, I still carry 2 phones as this one is just to tinker on.
Why did you get this phone?

This thread is not designated for this discussion you're bringing. This is a discussion on why users have obtained this device, reason why exactly people got it. What they expected from it.
As for your comments, I did not take them personally, I took them personally on behalf of the developers and users of the forum. As a community we must work together, not tear down whatever foundation is existent.
As for your participation, from my knowledge you helped with the as330 model as best as anyone could, but the ms330 model - you copied a couple posts which did more harm than good. Multiple threads of the same information to newcomers confuses them.

I got this phone because I had upgraded from the LG L90 with T-Mobile JUMP. The lady told us it was a better phone in the store. It's really not that much different tho. I still like this phone though.
Considering that our project that shall not be mentioned was successful, I was wondering about what can be expected in terms of custom roms for this device. I don't know if ASUS released decent sources for the Ze533KL, so can we expect an eventual daily driver release or shall we expect more experimental builds? Of course I'm not asking for ETA, just wondering about what can actually be achieved for this phone.
The thing I really wanted to have with this phone is some kind of burn-in protection (which is implemented in LOS as far as I know). My phone is still under warranty, and I can already see marks of the keyboard and other icons when displaying a white image.
Since the actual thread was closed, maybe this one could be used as a bulletin board for any new unfoldings.
Cheers.
sure thing, I also thought about creating new thread where we can inform each other about our initiative. I believe that McFy is waiting for his unit to arrive. Then there will be LOS hopefully. I'm rooting for him
As far as Lineage OS features I think it is OK to ask a question here and wait for some research and answer about it.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
"Now what?" is a fantastic name for the thread.
Exactly my feeling.
Ironicaly, XDA killed the iniatitive on the day it reached its goal. So, there was no reason at all to do what was done.
About a custom ROM for the device, I have no preferences. Whatever suits the developer is good for me as long as the final product is stable and runs well.
hello everyone,
I bought the device and got it today, I downloaded stock rom, kernel sources and flashed twrp on it, I did a first build for this device but it didn't boot. Don't ask any ETA as I will not be able to tell the amount of work until I get something working. I will share with you the progress but can't give any date.
Regards and thanks for the support
bro pls give an unofficial process to unlock this device because official unlock tool not working it shows "unknown network error".
@McFy any news?
please share a working process of unlock bootloader without asus unlock tool apk....i m waiting for 3 years

Nando, I don't have a Telegram account, but if someone starts building and need testers I would gladly volunteer. Just let me know here either on this topic or via pm.

I'll be honest - I don't know what any of that says and for the next ten days I'm stuck on mobile (vacation!!) so if you could translate that would be great.

Basically, a dev named Erik will try to contact Mcfly so that they both could work on porting the official Zenfone 3 Lineage to Zenfone 3 Zoom.

Thank you for that.

Oh well, don't wanna jump the gun here, but it seems like the dude took the money and spent on something else, or he's been really busy since then, as he no longer even commented on any xda posts.
In any case, It's a shame. Now we know why XDA doesn't allow group funding for this kind of thing. Not asking for eta is something, but you can't volunteer to develop for a device, take the money and disappear and expect people not to distrust you.
My advice for all others that contributed would be to next time buy a phone with a greater dev community, and never donate if there's no ongoing project.
Really hope I'm wrong here, please @McFy, show up and prove me wrong.

I don't think you're jumping the gun - it's almost three months since @McFy last posted to us that he obtained the phone and even his github project named "android_device_asus_zenfone3_zoom" (which I presume this was for) doesn't appear to have any work done on/to it whatsoever - I don't think it's unreasonable to have gotten some kind of status update within that time, even if it's negative.
Without knowing what happened for certain I will unfortunately have to think the obvious.
Hey guys sorry for not updating you, I don’t want to tell my private life but my gf have health problems and it made me busy driving her/ spend time with her, I definitely didn’t forget you and am in touch with the project, I achieved to boot but lot of stuffs are broken; zenfone 3 have now new trees since it is now official and I am working on it; I went in touch with the dev. Fyi I did buy the device for real as I said, I am someone you can trust and in the case the situation of my gf isn’t getting better I will give that phone to another developer at my fees; I also want to mention It’s not on my habit to share wip builds or push trees change until it’s not on a state I judge nice enough.
Best regards and I hope you will understand. I totally apologize but I went inactive in all dev scene I am on and it’s hard for me as well to come back like this..
If you have any questions I can answer them if they are not personals.
I sincerely hope that you guys won’t get mad at me.

First off, I am sorry to hear of your gf's health problems - and I truly mean that. I hope that she recovers and you don't need to tell us any more information because that is personal.
Next - the heads-up is absolutely appreciated. Thank you! I do hope you can also see from our point of view how it was looking to us and understand that we were getting puzzled. Now we know why.
Thank you again.

That’s me who owe you that and more.
Yes I ofc can see from your point of view and that’s why I went back on the forums, I got emails and more so I realized I got the phone since enough time for you to think I might have forgotten you,
Thanks for your message it’s really appreciated!
So, another month's passed. Any news?
anyone in contact with the developer?
so sad. that money was important to me. now the z3z is kinda past on my life. won't judge others, but by the delay, i guess i can judge myself injuried.
