z7 mini is using Qualcomm MSM8974AA Snapdragon 801 2.0 GHz ?
Why 2.0 Ghz ? I thought 2.3 GHz

Sigh ... just found about this myself just now, it seems that there is some issues with the camera focus on v1.38, and v.1.41 fixes this ... btw, tried downloading v.1.41 from nubia.cn but it asks me for a pwd?? Where do i get this?

P/S : Its OK. Just found out myself that I can download the update from Needrom.com.

Password is "phhl"

Adopt lower clock to:
1) Maximize profit.
2) To cater longer usage mapped by lower mAh battery.
3) 5" screen does not need beyond 2Ghz.

Stock camera....got wavy wave......tak perasan ? like intermittent but when use google camera.....no wavy wave at la...

have tried CM 11 so far so good....but get bored ...now flash back to 1.4.1

Question:

Can we format our storage partition and make it single partition ?

hate it when a phone has a split storage partition .....

though move to sd work like a charm ( once root ) ...not so happy on the system storage...( 8GB ) less 6GB for system runtime....

heavy gamers not like Azeem ...hahaha

Single partition is not possible at the moment... Maybe someone in Italian/Portugal forum or XDA team will explore this (soon....)

Just use primary storage as external SD Card kau-tim already... Buy those 64GB Class 10 will do (if got money laaa)...

I'm not heavy gamer but heavy 1080P "shooter"... LOL... What i "shoot" every day... eerrrrr oppsss... Every nite yaaa...?

Stock camera got wavy effect mehhhh? I don't have it loohhhh... Check your Pro mode setting...

Money no issue....Yes can set up primary as external sd card ...link2sd do most of the magic divert most of apps installed in system storage.....

end up balance of 23GB ....phone storage not use.....hahaha.....(just like a voldstab swap ) most of clones phones need to be rooted to do this trick !


today with stock 1.4.1 rooted battery last for 14H 20M with SOT 4H 10min....batt left 8%

usage : Waze 5% , LTE 80% ( office got LTE coverage ) , Boom beach 5% , FB 10% etc....

gud enuf compared to my One Plus One with tweak kernel.....

Azeem ...can search a good kernel for Z7 Max ?


CM11 latest version for NX505J ....come on .....upload lor ....current CM11 version not so stable .....

currently with

1.4.1 no stock camera.....now use 'next camera- OPO, and google camera ....when use next camera...time lapse , slow motion , 4K video and all the shot filter like OPO work like a charm !......

Google camera....lens blur mode...sometimes can ..sometimes cannot....but both camera apps...works....

Actually whats the intention of having 2 partition rather than 1 for the internal storage? Since this phone can support external sd card...

yes....that's why.....it brings me back to the memory of note 1 ....storage partition is almost the same....

I prefer 1 single storage...1 ext micro sd card storage...for mp3 photos etc....

Nah... Since you are addicted to flashing ROM, these are your next homework... Both are active chief to cook for z7Max:

Rayglobe ROM

BB72 ROM
http://www.androidiani.com/forum/zte-nubia...rom-z7-max.html

I personally prefer stock... Why, because I just want to sincerely help other new users... When they got their unit, surely they struggle to troubleshoot something with the stock ROM. So, i will try to help these poor guys to go through the pains... If they still not happy with stock, then only direct them to custom/modded ROM..

Just be careful when flashing CM11 custom ROM, if wrong steps, z7 Max may soft-brick (but recoverable...)

Technically... To ensure stability...

If all compiled under 1 partition, certain 3rd party app installs core files which may overwrite Android system core filez.. Therefore, if the Android system files are separated, no 3rd part app will be able to disturb them. But, rooting can "open" back the Android system files, which will void ur warranty...

Not a pro on this, if base on your reply, how come other phones can use single partition? For instant my SGN3...

Wish to learn more, not a bashing ya...

android must be rooted ....if not ...walawey ...I donno how to say.....

the longest android phone i used...Vibe Z K910 ... Sony Xperia Z ...1 day then sell....


Ok azeem...lets TT some day k....Bukit Jelutong sap sap je ....

Will continue looking for the storage partition....last time read at XDA.....

Ya ....its true...note 2..3 ....S5....One plus one also single partition .....

HTC Desire 816 have an issue on partition ....8gb ...minus system strorage....how to survive...sold it last time after use for 3 weeks....hehehe

Another major reason ZTE prefer old school 2.5GB system storage/partition is to ensure when updating from stock ROM to another newer stock ROM, the update process will not disturb your media/3rd party apps/data/etc. During OTA update, it will only "disturb" the 2.5GB partition. Hence, your existing/installed apps will not be reset/removed.

If everything is unified, then, after OTA, all your media/3rd pay apps/data/etc will be removed.

Overall, there are pro and cons for 2.5GB partition and unified 8/16/32GB system partition...

I personally prefer the 2.5GB partition so that if anything happened to the 2.5GB system core files, it can be easily recovered/revived without worrying the database for gaming and apps database are lost. We still need to install back these apps but the database is still intact in the internal storage.

Example, you almost complete Asphalt 8 game. Only a few more tracks to go. Suddenly, your Android system files corrupted. Hence, you are required to hard reset/flash back the stock ROM. After hard reset, you realised the Asphalt 8 is totally gone. All your hard work, in-app purchased and the joy to finish the game totally gone and have to start all over again. If there is 2.5GB system storage, you don't lost your record/database. Just re-install back Asphalt 8 and the database/history will be recovered automatically.

But, as of today, lots of apps and games offer cloud storage backup. Meaning, once you have finished one level/stage, it will be automatically backed up to the cloud using your account in the app/games. Therefore, the need for 2.5GB is totally redundant. Unified storage is more preferable...

I have owned LeMoto P780 since last year. It's 8GB variant. Out of the box, it has the 2.5GB system storage. This is during Jelly Bean. But now, LeMoto has released latest ROM that unified 8GB as system storage. But, before OTA update, there is a warning message asking you to do proper backup before OTA. So that, after OTA, you just reinstall back all the apps and restore the back-ups manually ONE-BY-ONE....

So, it's personal choice in the end...

Managed to install v1.41 with towelroot and su and the whole lot last night. But after updating to 1.41 got new peculiarities. Ig still doesnt work for me. The camera focus is now fixed but after post processing, only a black square comes out instead. Second is the contact list. In v1.38, the contact list is displayed as firstname lastname but now its the other way around. Any solutions on this?

So anyone here test yet that both sim slot able to run 4G ?

Both SIM slot can run 4G, but not at the same time lar. If you choose to have data from SIM 1, only sim 1 will run on 4G and SIM 2 will be on 2G standby, but both SIM slot have active standby, so you can receive calls / SMS from both sim. This applies to almost all dual sim phones, but some phones like Lenovo K910 can only support 3G on Sim 1 slot.
