whitch is the FASTEST AND SMOOTHEST ROM between ww and cn?
some users report cn is faster, other ww is smoothest
whitch is ? @[email protected]
Personally I am still on the CN rom and I haven't tested the WW rom. Having said that it will all depend on future updates which will make the experience either better or worse moving forward. For now I am sticking with the CN rom because it will get faster OTA updates.

Seems like video recording doesn't work if you flash the ww Rom. I'm not sure if that's because my bootloader is unlocked or whatever the culprit is. Everything works fine though, just that. I'm going to see if I can find a working Google camera to test


Edit: seems like only in the default camera app is the issue there on WW Rom

A factory wipe from recovery mode fixes this issue.

I just ordered the Tencent version and I am in the UK. Currently a bit confused, if I flash the WW version will B20 be enabled? I used to think that bands are hardware related unless they are disabled by software I guess.

LTE Band support is always hardware related.

Both bands are there and work. Interesting enough chrome on the ww Rom runs at 120hz while on CN its 60.

Plus you can pick the default launcher without having to Uninstall the Asus one which keeps the functions.

So far the ww Rom is better in terms of smoothness to me.
Can you confirm if call recording works and if the gestures work if you have nova launcher as default launcher if you are on ww?

Gestures and call recording work fine. The ww Rom let's you select the default home app.

Armory crate will default it back to the stock launcher but you just have to go into settings and make it the default home again. I'm also using fluid navigation instead with the navigation bar hidden. I like it's implementation better.

Is Fluid Navigation a better option than the stock option?

To me, yes. But it's all a matter of preference. The stock options work just as fine if not better. I just like having the option to toggle split screen from a gesture swipe.

Las Cruces, NM
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
Why does this say the WW Rom has more LTE bands supported? If flashed on the 128gb model, what extra bands Do you have access to??
