AOSPA for ZUK Z2 Plus
[/CENTER]

Disclaimer:
We’re really excited to announce that we are releasing our Nougat flavour of Paranoid Android. We have a lot in store - with a mix of both features & improvements.

First & foremost, we have moved our code base to be fully CAF based. This brings many improvements to your device. The key improvement here is that Qualcomm hardware is better tuned on the CAF base and with our additional optimizations we can provide a smooth and fluid user experience that will let you enjoy using your device without any lags.

On first launch you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson who’s teamed up with us again and created several beautiful pieces of artwork. For those of you who don’t know, Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work stands itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We have also added several new features and made improvements to the UI of the system that we believe would enhance the overall experience.

Pie
We’ve been working hard on redesigning this key feature of our portfolio and we’re really happy with how it has turned out. The whole design has been reworked and it fits in well with the overall feel of Google’s Material Design. This gives you the opportunity to use more gesture based control for navigating, rather than using the standard Navigation Bar at the bottom of your screen. Expect improvements and additions in the future.

Color Engine
We’re proud to announce our newest feature - Color Engine. Color Engine allows you to seamlessly change the colors of your device to be in Light, Dark (Pixel) and Black modes with a variety of accent colors to choose from. This makes changing the theme of your device really quick without having to install any extra packages on your device.

Pocket Lock
This feature prevents any form of accidental input when your device is in your pocket by disabling input sources. You can simply release Pocket Lock by long pressing the power button as highlighted by the minimal UI incase of any sort of obstruction or dust on the sensors.

Accidental Touch
Accidental Touch is a feature useful for many, especially the gamers out there. It prevents any sort of accidental touch on hardware buttons while the touchscreen is in use. This means you won’t experience any unexpected behaviour while playing games, web browsing or even when attempting to reach your finger out to the edge of that humongous display.


Major features:
- Reworked Pie
- Color engine
- Pocket lock
- Immersive mode
- Buttons customization (including navigation bar)
- On the spot controls (OTS)

Minor features:
- SafetyNet Compatibility
- Battery/Notification LED control

- Google now page in default launcher
- Accidental touch
- Three finger swipe Screenshot
- Substratum (OMS) support (Color engine will be deactivated if you use Substratum)
- Quick pulldown
- Various performance and battery improvements
- Display Burn-in protection (for OLED screens)
- More to explore

Specific device performance and battery optimizations

Nice! Obviously it's still in the early stages, but what's the battery life like at the moment? Providing it's not terrible then i'm more than happy to help test with you guys! :) I assume Wi-Fi is broken for everyone?

Really smooth build mobile signal stable.
Camera average.
Jio VoLTE not working.
single home button working fine for recent multitasking.
Its Not working for me ?
Last firmware you using befor that
I can assure that VoLTE is working fine, that is tested and working. Don't mind if the ROM doesn't have VoLTE icon in status bar (that doesn't mean volte is enabled or not). :)
Btw 2.5.104 Indian N firmware or 2.5.412 Chinese Firmware is necessary before you flash this build :)

Don't worry about Battery Life on alpha builds (we cannot evaluate them, unless every component is fine), it depends on usage.
Wi-Fi is broken for this release. I am working on it already :)
I will release ASAP the WlanHW is fixed.

I flashed it last night and VoLTE was working for me..:confused:
The only additional bug I found was video playback isnt working.
I will surely look into that :)

@Rohan Taneja nice work. If the build becomes stable, will you make it official?
No issues with official or unofficial tag, just asking
I believe the build is stable now. Wi-Fi & Wi-Fi hotspot has been fixed (LOL, flash DarkMoon-LongTap, release).
Thanks to @DD3Boh and @AnjoVingador, really helped me. Also thanks to other Z2_plus devs (there is a huge list, :eek: )

I cannot give ETA for OFFICIAL support. If I push for OFFICIAL I will post it here :)
