can you send the link from Chrome?

I don't understand why there is multiples link for the 2 variants.
Anyway the procedure from the website https://help.redmagic.gg/hc/en-us/articles/360033542691-Global-ROMs-and-Updates is the following (the example was for the Nubia 3 )
Global ROMs and Updates
Whether you need to manually update your RedMagic’s software or flash your device with the global ROM, please follow the instructions below.
NOTES:
Please be cautious during the flashing process and make sure to carefully follow the instructions. Be sure to download the correct software for your device, as attempting to flash your device with the wrong software will void your warranty.
Please be aware that if your RedMagic device was purchased from a third-party site, we cannot provide additional support should your device run into issues. The RedMagic warranty policy covers devices bought from our official store only.
GLOBAL ROM
INSTRUCTIONS AND DOWNLOAD:
Please back-up your data before attempting to manually install the global ROM, as the process will require a complete wipe of the device. This is because many of the apps built into the Chinese model will not be compatible with the global ROM.
Download the software build for your device depending on your location
Make sure the device is charged to 50% or above.
Plug your phone into your computer and copy the downloaded .zip to your phone’s root storage folder (this is the main folder once your device is connected to the computer). If you’re using a Mac, you can install Android File Transfer for this operation.
After the .zip file is copied to your phone’s root folder, go to 'Settings' > 'System update', tap the 'Settings icon' (the three dots) in the top right corner, choose 'Local update', find the .zip file and tap on 'Install now' button to confirm.
After the RedMagic device boots, the software will be usable. However, should any issues occur, we recommend doing a full wipe of the device either by the reset option in settings or via recovery (the best option). To do a full wipe, please follow these additional steps:
Once the RedMagic 3 has booted after the initial software update, turn the device off, and then hold down both the volume up button and the power button. This will bring you to recovery mode.
Choose your preferred language with the volume keys and select with the power key.
Go to 'Wipe data', and select 'Wipe user data'. <= If you do that I believe we lost all our data right ?
The phone will reboot and you will need to set up with your Google account info.

Until the OP can fix the links go to the thread "Official redmagic 5g rom" found in " Nubia Red Magic 5G Guides, News, & Discussion" as they seem to be working.

Guys, it is slow because it seems the files are still being uploaded.
Please give some time (maybe 2 hours) and then try again.
Cheers!

1.battery issues.. Statusbar has battery percentage also battery settings are available
2.japan doesn't allow 5ghz wifi outside buildings so I was not able to use wifi now I can switch bands and it is usable
3. Launcher still cannot be chnaged
4.statusbar has not disappeared yet on me.so probably that is fixed
5.netflix still SD no L3
6. Cannot test volte, bootloader unlock, and others as I don't get calls and I don't do rooting
7.i don't have any gpay supported card so sorry can't test that either
8.screen recorder settings are now accessible from settings menu

I currently have the NA rom version NX659J_ENCommon_V3.08
I started downloading versions 3.09, 3.10, and 3.11 from the links about 3 hours ago. At a blistering average of 20 KB/s it says I have about 1-2 days left. I hope it's all worth the wait. So did you have an older ROM like I do and were able to update to 311 directly? or do I have to update the ROM in sequence? I'm still disappointed that you said you can't change the Nubia Launcher. guess we gotta wait for another update after these.

I directly updated to 3.11 because I noticed someone from nubia mentioned they will be releasing the 3.11 update and not the other version. Also the size is 2.53 or 35 gb I don't exactly remember. So it probably no issue if you directly update to 3.11
If possible try to download somewhere else. Don't cancel this one just somewhere new because I got high speed today morning. And last night I started 1 download which is still not complete

Nubia tech guy told us that 3rd party launcher is in the works for the next version.
Also, Netflix L1 is being worked on.
We complained to him about AOD
But we ctually forgot about the 120Hz. Will get his attention on it ASAP.

[ROM] [GB/2.11.605.5 Base SENSE 2.1/3.0 HYBRID] SHIFTS3NS3 v2.1.1 (12/14/2011)

UPDATE: 2.1.1 Has fixed the Root Access Super User and WiFi Issues. At this time the only known issue is that Panorama mode doesnt work on the Camera. If you need Panorama mode, please flash the S3NS3 3.0 Camera Add-On below it works perfect Sorry about the 2.1 release guess I'm just not perfect lol...Download Link Updated PLEASE PLEASE provide feedback, Thank Me, Rate the Thread and Donate if possible
As a Side note using 2.1.1 I have had a 29% Battery Drop (in WiFi all day though) in 12 hours which is a FIRST for me!!! Make sure you charge to 100% and do a battery calibration at that time, it does make a difference!
2.1 Update is a pretty significant change in the realm of security and functionaltiy as well. Please visit the Changelog below to see what I have done. It has taken me a while but I think you will agree that the update was worth the wait!! If you are coming from Version 2.0.1 you do NOT need to wipe anything other than SYSTEM (the ROM install will do it for you). I have however made a couple of security changes to remove MORE of HTC and Google's Checkin services and loggers and without doing a full wipe you will still have traces of the PREVIOUS activity there. Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you have any more feedback, PLEASE NOTE: I was NOT able to get Beats working because this is a Sense 2.1 ROM not 3.0 as was requested, I did however manage to get you Dolby Mobile as an EQ option with the HTC Music now
Notable Changes:
See Changelog below please!!!
As Always if you appreciate my work as much as I appreciate bringing it to you please consider donating to the I have a new wife who doesn't like my development hobby and I have a New Son coming in three months fund ;-)...and Thanks to the few of you that already have your help is appreciated!!!
Alright everyone...I know you have all been waiting patiently but as this was my first FULL ROM release I needed to make sure I checked it well!!
Some other Developers out there have released ROMs and said they were built on the new 2.11.605.5 Base, but I installed them and all they did pretty much was update the build.prop file to have the new version numbers. Not here folks, this ROM was built from the ground up using the OTA 2.11.605.5 Base with the latest HTC Kernel (modified for speed/fluidity and to work properly ;-) )...
I have put a lot of work into this one and I hope you find it as useful as I do!!! That being said, I HAVE NEVER ON ANY OF DT'S ROMS GOTTEN BATTERY LIFE LIKE SOME OF YOU EXPERIENCE. So if you get awesome battery life I am jealous but there was no way for me to test this ROM against a battery expectation so I would LOVE to hear your feedback on this!
I used to get the Call Answer bug with the Sense 3.0 lock screen ALL the time, I have not gotten it yet on this build, HOWEVER if you are like me and NEED your phone to work at all times and can't risk it I have included a MOD that will swap you back to the Sense 2.1 answer screen.
This ROM does NOT require a full wipe. The ROM will wipe the System Partition only so I would recommend that you manually wipe the Dalvik Cache and the Cache Partition in Clockword Recovery. I have only used the ROM with the latest Radio from the 605.3 Build but I am confident the other Radios will work too. Also if you don't already have the HTC People widget placed where you want it the 4x5 MOD will make it impossible to place it without an error. I will post in the MOD section below a 4x4 Return to Stock Workspace when I can that you can use to bypass this issue (and then you can flash the 4x5 MOD after if you want it back)
Here is just a partial list of what I did (the important things anyway)
1. Debloated the whole thing (man Verizon puts a lot of useless stuff in these)
2. Added the latest version of the Market (ICS Version)
3. 4-1 Reboot included
4. Radio Info Settings included
5. Wake on Volume is now the default (patch later in this post to stop it)
6. CRT ANIMATIONS!!!! They are back
7. Weather Database was fixed so that all of your cities should be available now not just your state (maybe it was just me but that was really annoying) (thanks to jbeitel over at BAMF)
8. USB Debugging Icon was removed. I'm pretty sure if you are using a rooted ROM USB Debugging is ALWAYS turned on the icon was annoying I pulled it out
9. The default wallpaper for the ROM is now selectable if you change it you can go back (it's Number 5 under HTC Wallpapers)
10. My Theme's wallpaper is also there now (it's Number 15 under HTC Wallpapers)
11. Right Button on Rosie is mapped to the Rosie Settings Application
12. I implemented the TRUE 6 Signal bar MOD so you should actually get 0-6 now not just 0,2,4,6 (Thanks to jmz over at BAMF)
13. 4x5 Workspace by default now. All HTC and other widgets have also been updated so that they support the 4x5 now. Tell me if you don't like it but I can't go back ever now that I have experienced it, I mean they say once you go 4x5 you never go back!
14. A bunch of other stuff that I just made work
Here is the download please if you are going to mirror be responsible and ensure that it is updated when I update Thanks!!!

Go into system/etc/security and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.BAK with some sort of root file explorer, you may still get prompted for the update, but if it trues to install it will fail.
Loving the ROM, only bug I've noticed, and its really small, on the messages widget the reply button doesn't work.

*Extended Checklist for Error Analysis in DiXperia 9 'Magnificent' Installation Process, check here before posting:
Read along the Instructions, if you cant go on at one point, write a post like "I am stuck at 3)b) and an explanation"
Don't blame me for anything that happens to your phone.
1) Basics:
a) Root your Phone using Flashtool by Binary, thread and links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746, check root by lookin for superuser in appdrawer or by pluging it to your Computer and start Flashtool (should show: "Device connected [...] Root access allowed" and the panels on the top should fade in)
b) Unlock your Bootloader: After the Flashtool has recognized your Root, go on "Plug-ins" and choose "Bootloader Unlock", follow the instructions.
c) If there is no "Bootloader Unlock" option, you either have no root (step back to 1)a)) or you have a custom kernel/ ROM installed (you should know about this^^). Then you will have to flash the Stock Kernel you will find in this thread (thanks to DikeJ): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23868370, there is a line "kernel and baseband- .ftf file for users from 2.1" with a mediafire link, download it and flash it via flashtool, then again check if you can unlock your bootloader. If "Bootloader Unlock" is still faded out, you download "Seus Sony Ericsson Update Service" and "repair your firmware", then you can definitely unlock your Bootloader.
Info: To repair the stock firmware you dont have to turn your device on. Afterwards start over at point 1)
d) Download Rom and your desired Add-ons in the Development Thread (scroll up a few inches), either directly to your phone or to your computer, important is that you put it on your Phones MicroSD-Card (I myself created a #ROM-Folder to easily find it later), Insert it.
2) Kernel:
Download any cm10based Kernel, we suggest to use official cmX10 kernel, you will find it here: http://www.wuala.com/CMX10/Android/CM10-Kernel/?id=31,2052333,11-49,2052333,15 and put it into your "firmwares" folder inside flashtool folder. Then you enter Flashtool and choose the flasher (most left panel) and "Flashmode", then choose the cmX10 kernel and press "OK", follow the Instructions. To check if you flashed succesfully and if you unlocked your bootloader correctly, turn on your Phone, if it shows a different Logo (originally there was "Sony Ericsson"), then it was successful.
3) ROM:
Turn on your Phone and when the LED in the top right Corner lights up press the Back Button to enter Clockwordmod Recovery. There you choose "Factory Reset" (we suggest to do this in any case, otherwise it wont be possible to do a proper Analysis) and "Andvanced/ Wipe Dalvik Cache". Now you can flash the ROM, just click on "install custom .zip" and choose your directory (in my case "/#ROM/ DiXperia 9 'Magnificent'.zip") and confirm. Wait till the Progress is over and choose "Reboot System now".
[/B]4) Add-ons:[/B]
After Booting up your phone, reboot it two times (i do it because i believe in it...) and let it settle, you can play with the Preferences. I always wait at least 12 hours. Then enter the Clockwordmod Recovery like you did in point 3 and flash the Add-on in the same way you did with the ROM itself. After every Add-on reboot and wait for a few minutes. Install all the Desired Add-ons and be happy.
[/B]5) Lags and bad behaviour:[/B]
If you did not before, do it now and READ DikeJs whole Development thread, especially look at the Tips'n Tricks section. Follow it...
[/B]6) I did anything as you, godlike keenofhiphop, wrote here but I still have:[/B]
a) A black Screen after trying to boot up: Jump to point 2c) and follow the instructions,
b) No Camera: Boy, you didnt read DikeJs whole Post
c) Any other thing: [/B]Post it here.[/B]
If you find spelling Mistakes you can keep them
Thanks buddy . As I posted in DX8 before this thread created, here it is first screenshots of DX9, today I don't have more time to work on it, but theme is 100% done, just need to do research/remade of scripts/tweaks/tricks, and beta will appear for few guys. Please write here who wants future build for tests, first 3 persons with their post will be testers. More info/instructions later. Bye all!

firehot_aman, why I need to wait for scritch?
About LEDs, you mean this one between buttons under the display? If yes, then my answer is - unfortunatelly not - I don't like it .
prioxxx, yup, you can call it like that if you want . There is still a lot work to do.
Can be a tester if u want to.
3 people is enough, but thank you for trying to help!
DiKeJ is back! I can't believe it! Can't wait for realese and finger crossed
I just want to mention that there has been created forum for Sony Xperia Z therefore the binaries should be expected soon (not all of them at one time, of course). DiKej, do you think you could use them in DX9? That would make our X10s and the newest DiXperia really magnificent.
AW: DiXperia 9 'Magnificent' | Discussion Thread
I think the coolest thing would be to have the lockscreen, so the framework of xperia z. As xperia z will be released with android 4.1.2 there could be the possibility that the framework fits?
I kinda hate this ringlock :/

yikimo, preety good to hear that words from someone .
Vaki, yeah, I could try it, but of course after relase, cause today I worked hard on DX9, and the best thing is, it's already ready for hit all of you, except root access (somewhere I can't make it work, Superuser is here, root is (hopefully) working, but can't get acces on any app like Titanium Backup or Root Explorer), and I don't know what I made wrong, and don't want start build all again....Need to find reason, fix it, and relase ROM (first of course give it for testers) .
keenofhiphop, we will see buddy, even if we get it working, it can be buggy on X10, or laggy. But DX9 is fast as hell in my opinion, so should fix big lags (not all, X10 isn't device for JB, you know that ).
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
Hell yeah guys, made it! Upload of final package for testers this night, official relase still not known. Need to make edits in development thread, before anything . And Premium Users can be sure, that they're not forgotten - you will get DX9 faster . Soon, some new screenshots coming. :>

AW: DiXperia 9 'Magnificent' | Discussion Thread
So here we go:
I installed the Main Rom first naked without any addons. I use Ferakernel JB. Booting took a bit longer than I am used to (but the animation was also better).
There was the usual login and sync things which went smooth and fast :good:.
Now, first report: it is still the old xperia home (not the one from xperia Z) and its a bit laggy with scrolling wallpaper (like it always was on my device, could be exclusively my problem).
There were only a few apps in the drawer, tested all without phone and sms (it is dark night, dont dare to call anyone) and worked fine. Free Ram: 114 mb.
Then I flashed the Google Addon package and there were all the apps i am used to delete as soon as i can download root uninstaller from market. But there was no market, so i installed it manually (had still a version on my sd :victory but it also didnt work without Google Play services. The apps in the addon were stuff like SoundSearch, News and Weather, Downloader, Browser and few more.
I have the Rom not that long so i cant say anything to performance, only that its not worse than on every other rom i tried
More will come tomorrow (so many addons) when gplay works...
Bugs:
- Black background in Settings> networks> more> mobile data

[FAQ] Official FAQ Thread of GingerDX

Finally, I’m proud to present:
The official GingerDX FAQ Thread

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Important:
Before you post a “bug”, do a Factory reset!!! It’ll solve most issues.
Before you ask something, read the whole Thread!!!
Don’t even think about pm’ing Team Fun or me because of your Problems
Why are there two versions of GingerDX?
One version is for stock kernel, the other one for custom kernels
Which one should I use?
Well, it’s pure logic If you are on stock kernel, flash the stock version, if you are on a custom kernel, use the custom version.
I’m stuck in a bootloop! What shall I do now?
Keep calm. Enter CWM and restore a Backup or reflash the ROM again.
If you can’t enter CWM, reflash using Flashtool or SEUS.
I’m still stuck!
Did you flashed the right version? Stock version on stock kernel and custom version on custom kernel…
Why is my Wifi not working?
Have you flashed the right kernel?
Try to forget Networks
Still not working? --> Full Wipe
My Phone crashes when trying to sign into google…
Have you flashed GAPPS?
Have you flashed the libsensor patch (when on alfs)?
Did you do a Full Wipe?
How can i mount my sdcard to PC? There is no button...
Just tap the Android
Can I update busybox on stock?
No. It’ll brick your Device
What is ADB/USB-Debugging?
If you don’t know what it is, you don’t need it
ADB (or Android Debug Bridge) allows you to communicate between your computer and your phone (for example to get logcats)
How do I get a logcat?
If you need to ask, that’s the right link for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944776
What is GalleryDX
It’s a modded version of QuickPic
And how do I get rid of it?
Delete /system/app/GalleryDX.apk and /system/lib/qpicjni100.so
Why is my wifi not working?
On custom kernel:
Have you flashed the right kernel?
--> GDX v28 and earlier: LinuxDX or Alfs v08a GDX/Alfs v09c WLAN
--> GDX v29 and later: nAa 14 or Alfs v08a CM7/Alfs v09c CM7
Why is the Auto-Brightness not working?
If you’re on Alfs kernel, have you flashed the libsensor Patch?
Why does my LED not blink like it should?
Just delete the file "/system/lib/hw/lights.shakira.so" and reboot.
Now it should work correctly.
Shall I use Supercharger?
You can, but it’s not recommended. The ROM is already tweaked, to get the best overall performance. If you use it, it’s your own responsibility and do NOT post some “bugs” which only you have got, because of using supercharger
Will the app “xxx” be included in the next version?
To make you happy: maybe…
To be realistic: the probability it pretty low
How can I delete system apps?
You can delete system apps by using a root explorer to delete the desired app from /system/apps/
But BE CAREFUL what you delete! Delete on your own risk!
What’s KSM?
You can read the exact explanation here
Or in short: it gives a performance boost (because it makes processes share the “same pages” with other processes --> less CPU calculation) and reduces the RAM consumption (--> pages are shared, no multiple copies)
If you’ve got some questions to add to this list, just post a comment or send me a pm!
Thanks for your support and keeping the Thread clean!
Good:good: but there is already a similar thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409113
Have you contact eagleeyetom?
I'm reading the word "official" so I guess you have, you could have taken the other thread and update it as Lucas is not that active here anymore and he have gave permissions for his threads.
There is no reason for two FAQ threads about gingerdx. So maybe mods should close the other one. Just saying its obviously up to mods.
And as a suggestion,you can add some links in order to make your thread more newbie friendly ,for example you can put a link for a more detailed unbricking guide.

thanks for the tip...but unluckly wifi setting isn't correlated to hotspot settings in locked status (standby). I found other users had same problems with other roms and phones, the solution they found is this app that allow to use cpu and wifi also when phone is in standby (locked)

It is always best to thank a ROM OP, in lieu of simply posting "Thank you".
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
Additional Q&A/T Information​
Liquid's development threads are intended for developmental purposes only, which means that posts should be focused solely on bug reports (with logcats) and assistance to further improving the ROM. Development threads in general are by no means a 24/7 tech support service but everyone needs some help every now and then and that is the purpose of this thread.
Most of you should already be aware that Q&A threads such as this are intended to clear any off topic posts and questions from the development threads to the Q&A/T thread, thus keeping the development threads clutter-free and ON-topic.
Any discussions concerning battery life, custom kernels, 3rd party apps, mods, etc.. will be posted in this thread along with any other general questions or topics NOT pertaining to the development of the project itself.
Any and all questions are welcome here but you must ALWAYS remember to search as well as read the FAQ and the OP of the original thread prior to posting questions. You stand a better chance of finding the answer to your question yourself by performing these tasks and it's a great feeling.
Additionally, no one should answer to OT questions asked on the development threads but instead, when convenient, respond with something like "Please use the Q&A/T thread for this kind of question". Consecutive OT posts will be moved here to Q&A/T as required.
And finally, if someone in this thread helps you, please take a second to click their 'thanks' button! Someone has taken the time to assist you, and clicking thanks will make them feel appreciated so they come back the next day and help someone else! You get 8 thanks a day, don't be stingy with them! (I'm not even talking about me. I'm not looking for 'thanks'. Save them for others who directly answer your questions. They will deserve it.

Q1 - How do I flash this ROM?
A - Download the ROM and GAPPS from the original thread. (Mirror found HERE)
1. Reboot recovery
2. Make a nandroid backup (recommended}
3. Wipe data/Factory reset
4. Flash the ROM and GAPPS
5. Reboot and enjoy!
Q2 - Can I flash this on my (jfltexx/jflteatt/jfltevzw/jfltespr/jfltecan/jfltetmo/jflteusc/jflteworldcom/jflte10-10-220)?
A - Yep. See post #2 of the original thread
Q3 - Can i flash this on my i9500?
A - No, sorry.
Q4 - I'm having crazy issues with _____ after flashing the latest nightly. PS: I dirty-flashed.
A - See the wise words in @CPA Poke's signature.
Q5 - It wont flash with TWRP, how do i fix it
A - This is an issue with LiquidSmooth. To flash with twrp, follow this method:*
1. Factory reset*
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash*
-OR-
A - Update your recovery to the most recent TWRP.
Q6 - What are the known bugs on this ROM?
A - Currently, they include the following:
- Font Size picker does not work.
- Slim Pie needs a reboot before the trigger areas work.
- App Settings (Xposed) does not work.
- Network Mode quick tile will disappear from the add panel list once it's added to the QS Panel (Note: Some users have also reported the same for their LTE quick tile).
Q7 - How can I change from the default CLock color on my lockscreen?
A - You cannot apply your changes from the system settings. To change lockscreen color you will need to do the following:
1. Settings > Lock screen > Widgets > enable widgets
2. Enter lockscreen then expand the widgets
3. Hold on the CLock widget then drag it towards the X icon to remove it.
4. Tap on the + sign and select CLock from the list of widgets
5. Adjust the settings to your liking
6. Tap on the check mark at the upper right hand corner of the CLock menu to confirm/apply your changes.
Just in case

Sorry guess it would be helpful if I made myself clear. I flashed the new build but I'm a KT fan and flashed the latest kernal. After doing so my wifi would not work, gapps kept force closing as well, there was one other but can't remember what it was.
Tried a clean flash at first, then tried a dirty flash over 03-13 both with the same result.

What recovery?
Nevermind read the comment above sounds like something is up, I'll try in a few, haven't had that happen (loose wifi) since I was messing around with radios... Did you try another build on the kernel or only the latest?

TWRP 2.7.0.1 and since they did a built in loki it's smooth as glass no issues at all. I can flash any other build and all works just fine. Running 03-13 and cruisin

Seems to be an issue with loading frandom on boot up after flashing the latest 3/12 kT build..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51094944
No issues on stock kernel though.
The camera doesn't seem nearly as good as TW camera. I tried changing the focus mode to infinity but it refuses to change from continuous. And pictures I take don't look as good as I'd expect. Any fix for this or another camera app that will take better pics?
FYI, running Philz recovery and the 3/13 version.

No issues I figured they aren't marrying up but had no clue what it was. Thanks for the information

Is anyone using the active display feature? The brightness adjustment doesn't seem to have an effect. 3.14 build.

Try this app. I find it to be a good replacement to the AOSP camera.

Thanks, seems like a good alternative. But I've got a bigger problem now. Phone died and is refusing to charge while off. All I see is the battery icon with a frozen pinwheel. What do I do?

Hope it helps.
I'll crosspost a non-answered topic question:
When my device is fingerprint-locked and I use the camera from the lockscreen, if I swipe left my gallery is protected because the phone is still locked.
But when I do that, I can't unlock my Zuk using my fingerprint because it suddenly becomes not recognizable; I must use PIN.
Is it just me? It happens with both S3OH and S60J builds!

Hi,
I'm using official nightly cm13 and this function works properly. When I swipe left it's opening the camera without any security but when I'm closing the camera it's going back to lockscreen. That's how it should work.

My bad, it was an issue in S3OH but I'm trying right now with S60J and it works fine!
Sorry for the useless question and thanks anyway for your answer!
I think this topic is a very good idea, I'm following it and trying to help if anyone ask!

Settings - Lockscreen - Fingerprint - delete the finger prints. But better Settings-LockScreen-ScreenLock - and choose None.
My Lenovo Zuk Z1 is just 3 weeks old. Am facing the following issues -1 .Phone hangs after a call is ended or comes in,with just a couple of apps running. 2. At times the double tap to wake doesn't respond,so I try to wake the phone up by pressing the power button,but the screen lights up just for a fraction of a second, not enough to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.The camera app crashes after a couple of clicks. Please advise for solutions.

Which rom you are using? Can you give me exact ROM name?
If you are running first version of COS12.1 these problems can be solved by updating the ROM through OTA.
You can try factory reset as well. If it doesn't help try to install latest CM 13.1 Nightly, it's totally stable.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. THE Cyanogen version is 12.1 - YOG4PAS9IG, if thats the one you need. I have disabled double tap to wake/ sleep and the fingerprint lock feature. The phone hasn't hung today. But if I have to disable these contemporary features , then won't I be better off using my Nexus 4.

Try to update your phone, go to setting-about-updates, check if there is any new update. If yes, please update and check if everything is fine after. If not, my recommendation would be to flash latest CyanogenMod Nightly 13.1.

No updates at the moment. Had one a week back, but the problem didn't get resolved. Will try the latest software as you recommend. Thanks!

Hey man. I was facing similar kind of problems. The only thing I have to say is be patient. Right now there are some problems with the update. Once the Marshmallow Official COS 13 comes out, it will fix everything. Lets hope
Hi, i have a problem on connectivity. My phone have 4g connection, but i can't make or receive call. phone is set to '4g (recommended)' on the preferred network type. I'm running on 1 sim and latest COS June update (unrooted phone). i did not install skype, viber or any dialler apps
Hey I can't root my zuk z1. I have tried kingroot and framaroot, didn't work. Please help!
Slow wake and slow finger print scanner
Great thread! Thanks to the senior member.
I just got the phone a few days back, this is my third one I had to return the first two due to defects.
But I got a problem on this phone as well. Sometimes when I haven't used the phone for a while and wake it, it takes a couple seconds for the screen to light up. And it doesn't recognize my fingerprint when I keep my finger on the sensor after pressing it to unlock. Other times it unlocks normally. Im confused, should I return my phone again?
P.s: Im running the stock OS, no root. Have stored 4 fingerprints. os version: 12.1-YOG4PAS9IG

The zuk1 has a really slow light sensor/software for detecting ambient light changes. For the fp sensor: did you set up a new set of fingerprints in the lockscreen menu? There it must working first.

Finger print scanner not working at all.
Hi, i have a zuk z1 with cm13 nightly and the fingerprint sensor was working great and then it suddenly stopped working. I flashed stock Cos12.1 with stock recovey and yet the fingerprint doesnt pick up fingerprints at all. The fingerprint option is available but no fingerprint. Any help is appreciated.
