[Discussion] WW (International) Rom Vs. CN (Chinese Tencent Games) Rom

[JazonX]

Let's Discuss the Pros and Cons
Feel free to share your input, opinion...



CN - Chinese - Tencent Games Edition

+ Slightly Faster across the system
+ No Facebook Bloat preloaded
+ Minimal Google Bloat
+ No preloaded YouTube - Easier to install YouTube Vanced
+ WiFi is stronger (Detects more networks around you than any other device)
+ Hidden extra ROG Theme
+ Faster OTA (From ROG I History)

- Many apps still have Chinese Fonts and Content
- Dual WiFi gets disabled after reboot
- Chinese Country Name in Contacts App
- Tencent Bloatware in System



WW - International - Republic of Games Edition

+ Everything is in English
+ Gamer Profiles have more function in Armoury Crate
+ Classic Theme option at first boot which allows to select a stock-like Theme
+ More LTE bands supported compared to CN Version

- No Dual WiFi Feature
- Themes are not working
- Minor lag across the system
- Facebook Bloatware in System
- Mobile Manager App shortcut is not available on the launcher.



Anything else?

I haven't done too much research but can anyone elaborate on the whole "you can opt for a stock Android on the international variant" thing?

I dislike Android skins and would love to have the ASUS RoG Phone 2 but not if I can't use something that resembles stock Android in terms of the UI.

Does the tencent version have this? If I convert to the WW ROM, can I use stock Android? Am I completely mistaken here?

Cheers guys

Yes, There is a Classic Theme available on the WW (International) Variant.
Tencent / CN Version doesn't have this option.

Is native call recording still available on the WW rom?

Yes.

@JazonX is the minimal lag you mentioned in the overall system performance? or just animations and scrolling smoothness?

@JazonX is the minimal lag you mentioned in the overall system performance? or just animations and scrolling smoothness?

Mostly across animations. System Performance, It's more or less the same. Nothing significantly different.
On International Rom, Sometimes you need to frag stuff twice to move around - That sort of a slow feeling. It was not there on the CN Rom.
I noticed this because I jumped back and forth between the roms a lot.

 

[Dentist.M.Evy]

Ok now i have an issue :/

I can't find the mobile manager app ANYWHERE on the device now after flashing to WW
Not in the search, not in the apps section and when i search for it in play store it doesn't give me an option to open or install the app :/ now what :/

Ok, I have the same issue as well.
I don't have it in my Menu either.

 

[Dentist.M.Evy]

Do you know package name of the mobile manager app? Thinking of disabling & re enabling the app via CMD or something..

So how do operate the CN ROM with all of the apps, accounts, instructions written in Chinese?

Everything you need to operate on the phone is in English, some local apps will not have English which is expected to be you can uninstall those apps and install the global alternative ones. But system wise everything is in English.

There will be those minor instances where there will be a word in Mandarin or a sentence but I don't recall seeing those that often.

which ROM carries the 2 OS optional choice?

How do you access the App store account?

How do you access the App store account?

1. The internationall Rom "WW".
2. If you mean the local app store you can access it from the app store itself but it's in Mandarin for the Tencent version not English. If you want to link it with an account just link it with your WeChat id.
If you mean the Google account just go to "Accounts and sync" in the setting menu and remove your Google account if you want to replace it with another account.

* GAPPS not required, Google Play Services are already available in the ROM. It will appear once you assign a Google Account.
* There is no TWRP available yet for the ROG II.
