Nubia Z11 (NX531J) [ROOT + TWRP + Busybox + Viper4Android + GAAPS + Xposed Mod]

Hi Guys!,
I just got my Nubia Z11 6GB +128GB Model and managed to get TWRP, Root, Viper4Android Gapps +Busybox on it
i bricked it once while figuring this out so thought id save anyone else who has this phone the trouble! (this should work with 4GB + 64GB model also)
all this info is from the Nubia forum which is in Chinese, with the help of some mates we were able to create an account on their and save the files, it was not easy as to create an account you need a Chinese mobile number for verification purposes so don't bother trying to create an account,
all credit goes to the following forum and creators. - http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-690478-1-1.html
i will monitor it for any updates/custom roms/kernels/mods and provide them here as there is no English support for our device!
How To Install TWRP
Step 1. connect phone to your pc and choose "charging only" and install the drivers that the phone comes with on your PC
Step 2. download this package " https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_5JyLpmnOLKYjVhbTV2Y1B6WUU/view?usp=sharing " thats a mirror from my google drive a 2nd link is available here http://www.androidbrick.com/download/z11-nx531j-twrp-3-0-2-0-zip-root/
Step 3. on the phone type in *#7678# in the keypad and enable both options,
Step 4.run the EXE program in that zip and select option 1 (this will install qualcomm drivers)
Step 5. select option 2 and let it do its thing (this installs TWRP and your phone will then boot into TWRP)
TO ROOT CONTINUE ON -DO NOT USE ONE CLICK ROOT OR FLASH SUPERSU OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Step 6. reboot your phone and boot into TWRP
Step 7. select advance then there is an option called stalence tools, select that and you can root/unroot the phone through there

Use the below mod to tweak the system
XNubiaUI Mod v1.0.3
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_5JyLpmnOLKMGF5UkdPSUk1Sms/view?usp=drivesdk
NUBIA RECOVERY TOOL
so my understanding is this tool is for restoring stock firmware on devices, unfortunately the Z11 is not on the list so it will not automatically download it for you so you will need to manually obtain the stock firmware and can either then flash through this tool or just flash it in stock recovery on the device
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2...EZBNGF3U1VIQWs - Nubia Recovery Tool
STOCK ROMS
These are flashable via recovery tool above or in settings > system update > local update. OR via stock recovery OR TWRP
NOTE: PLEASE UNROOT BEFORE UPDATING,
These are also FULL STOCK ROMS, so you can wipe system + data and reflash any of these to go back to clean stock
There are sourced directly from nubia website and are unmodified in anyway by myself

Hi Guys,
i havent tried on the 64gb version only mine,
i assume the gaaps should work but not sure for twrp the tool does say "Nubia Z11" and doesnt specify a model?
if someone is willing to try and confirm for me that would be great
i found a tool ill add to the OP called "Nubia Recovery Tool"its in Chinese but you put your phone in download mode and select nubia emergency recovery and it flashes lastest stock firmware (works for ALL nubia models from z9 to z11) ill upload that tonight so if someone wants to try it they can flash back to stock incase they have issues:good:

how to root 2.03 and install google apps:
-assuming you did a normal install first
-install RMXtools 1.6 + 1.8 fix on windows...
-run RMXtools and extract system.img, root64, rebuild system image same size, now you have a new system rooted then you just need to replace your original system image with this one.
-boot phoenix, supersu should be visible now but you need to update it first with latest beta from xda, then you can update the binary file.
-go to apkmirror and download Google playstore, latest playservices 10.5.55-480, service framework 7.1, Account Manager, One Time Init, Partner Setup.
-install lucky patcher, grant root access, click on rebuild&install, sdcard/download, click on playstore.apk, install as System app, don't reboot yet, do the same for service framework, account manager,OTI, Partner setup, then install play services as a normal app, now you can reboot.
-go to settings / apps, check the permissions for all the apps you just installed (show system)
-go to settings / autorun check to enable play services if it shows
-reboot again and log in, enjoy!!!

Lineage 15.1 Android Auto not working

I have installed Lineage 15.1 on my OnePlus 2 (20181016 nightly) and everything works apart from Android Auto. Every time I try to launch it I get the following error message.
"Something Went Wrong - Google Play Services doesn't seem to be working right now"
I installed Open Gapps (full) at the same time (no reboot between installs).
I have tried full wipes and resets.
Please can anyone suggest a solution? Can I try a more recent version of Google Play Services from APK mirror and if so do I need to uninstall the current version first?

I don't know if this is related, but my OPT with LineageOS 15.1/same nightly doesn't work with Android Auto unless I enable developer options and enable ADB debugging. Sometimes a nightly will reset that back to disabled, though usually it's sticky and doesn't change across nightlies. The last time it happened was about a month ago.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that both in the car and just running the app from the phone and no joy.

When I first installed 15.1, I used MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180320_011441. I had been having some camera issues with OpenGapps, and used MindTheGaps with some self installed camera software instead. Worth a shot perhaps. Also for reference my Android Auto (using autoupdate) is version 3.7.584044-release according to app info.

I have now resolved this issue by joining the Google Play services beta.
After the new version installed, I rebooted and Android Auto started working. Must be something about the version that came with the version of Lineage I installed.

Unbelievable! After searching the entire internet for a solution, this is the only thing that worked . Thanks!

Another Solution worked for me:
I had the same prolem on my Costum OS Lineage.
Then i uninstalled the GAPPS and installed the first GAPPS Version for my Android Version 8.1: (Release: 01 March 2018)
When I opened the app after that, i geted the message that the google play services is not up-to-date and i updated it through the play store.
I dont know why, but it is working now. for me.

Then i uninstalled the GAPPS and installed the first GAPPS Version for my Android Version 8.1: (Release: 01 March 2018)
When I opened the app after that, i geted the message that the google play services is not up-to-date and i updated it through the play store.
I dont know why, but it is working now. for me.

How did you uninstall GAPPS and installed 'first' version ?
I've oneplus2 with latest LOS 15 (8.1) and GAPPS from https://opengapps.org/# (ARM64/8.1/mini).
My android auto has same issue as OP.

Download your 8.1 package from 01 March 2018 and copy it on your phone..
(Go to the page where you can download it, scroll down, click on "OLDER RELEASES" and replace from the url "releases/" with "releases/tag/20180301")
I am not able to post outside links, because i registered especially for posting this solution...
Reboot your Phone into the Recovery mode.
Then "Wipe > Advanced Wipe > System"
After this go to "Advanced > File Manager" and delete all files that starts with "/data/app/com.google..."
Now you must install your Costum ROM again and install GAPPS which you copied on your phone. (User apps and data are retained)
:good:

Thank you for guidance.
I've tried to avoid system re-install and only deal with google apps.
Version of google play installed by 12/7 opengapps was 14.7.99 110400
First attempt: removed /data/app/com.google* via "adb shell" and flashed "pico" opengapps from 3/1/2018. (original gapps were mini)
After launching "auto" it requested "google play" update but app still failed with same error (after update).
After update I got google play version 14.7.99 090408 which looks lower than installed by 12/7 gapps.
2nd attempt: downloaded "stock" opengapps from 11/28 and create gapps-config.txt to exclude unwanted google application from "stock" but kept android auto from gapps package.
Again removed "/data/app/com.google..." and flashed gapps.
It asked to upgrade "google play" (because of gmail) and after upgrade Android auto worked !

Tips
Only Themes made for Oreo work. i have attached some Themes to main post so you can have Dark UI.
To enable game launcher go to Settings - Advanced - Games.
Let device sit for a few minutes after first boot so Google play store and play support libraries can update

To add dialer on lock screen in google version go to Lock screen and security - App shortcuts - Left side - Choose Phone
To have icons from Samsung themes on google launcher version go to home settings choose default icons

the dialer is broken in the google version you can make calls but there s no call ui so you can't hang up and can't even answer phone calls because of the same issue, installing google dialer framework doesn't help. every thing is working fine on the samsung version tho other than that contexts fix.

You need to read the info about Google version in my post you just quoted.
Important - Must go to setting - Apps - Default Apps - Calling app And choose Google phone.
I tested it many times and it works fine if you do that step.
