Just ordered my Blackshark 2 Global! - Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Anyone else?
Also any questions I can awnser once I receive it?

Got the china version rom, waiting for developers/enthusiast to post a guide on how to convert to goobal rom.

can you do cpu throttling test for at least 5 minutes with this app ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skynet.cputhrottlingtest
just curious about that cooling chamber, wheter it gives performance advantage over normla cooling smartphone

Me too
I also have Black shark 2 with me 12 + 256 GB Rom version. I saw a reply there questioning how to change China rom to global. It's very easy. First you will have to contact black shark eu team and have the Rom itself. Then simple unlock the bootloader by Fastboot commands - Yes it doesn't need miflashunlock and that ridiculous waiting time. Then first format the system then flash. Like this I also converted my China version to global and it works great in neat English. I cannot post the links to global ROM as I am a newbie here and I cannot post links to outside. You can contact black shark and get it from them. Really like this phone. I have a beast in my pocket. If this comment helped you. Please consider hitting the like button. So I could do more with my XDA.
Thankyou

What's the build number of the global version?

I have mine already. I'm a big fan of the hardware, and the software has been mostly solid so far.

I ordered mine from the UK store on Friday (one of the first 100, so got the free pad), I paid for priority delivery and have heard nothing yet. Support takes 48 hours + to respond to each email. Bad experience so far for me

Does it work on t-mobile us though?

Hi, i have the ROG phone i am not sure how many of you had it, have it, or played with it. Can someone tell me if the difference between the speakers between the two devices is big. I am sure the ROG is way better but I want to know if the difference is marginal.
Also are there any software configurations to make the speakers sound better.
In general I would love a full detailed review of the speakers. Because I haven't found one yet. Thx

Guys im considering to buy global version of the phone , can i ask you:
1) the phone has widevine L1 or L3 ? (can use drm info app on playstore to check it)
2) on gsmarena it's written that has type c 2.0, but it's stated everywhere that can output the video trough type c hdmi cable , what do you know about that ? you tried ?
3) you tried to install the gcam of Mi9? Phone has camera2api already enabled like mi9 ?
thanks a lot

thanks a lot,
let me know if you/someone else will try the gcam on it as well, sensor should be the same of mi9 so maybe the same version that works there works also for the black shark 2.
regarding hdmi output is killer feature to me , i wrote to blackshark support , if they answer i will let you know
in the meantime i saw this on the europe shop: https://eu.blackshark.com/products/black-shark-type-c-to-hdmi-cable

Mi 9 gcam working

i ordered mine first 100 as well shipped today receiving tomorrow global version. i have ordered china version which is still on the way just three days before global version was released. gonna return chinese unless anyone interested? it should come next week but Im not bother even if Im sure chinese version is much more stable

I'm using the Asus ROG phone and the speakers on the black shark 2 are quite a bit more quiet, feel a bit muffled and have less clarity, volume and bass than the ROG phone. It's certainly a downgrade.
Also the black shark 2 has an equalizer but it's only available in shark mode --> only in games where I'm certain nobody needs an equalizer (at least I don't) Furthermore the speaker grill holes on the black shark immediately got clogged with dust which isn't a problem with the ROG phone.
I personally found many reasons why I'll stick to my ROG phone and am returning it.

According to the USB info, it's actually USB 3.1 (used my computer to check it). It seems to operate at USB 2.0 speeds when transferring files, but yes, it does output video and audio in real-time over HDMI. I have tried it myself, to include playing games with it, and there is nearly no delay. I found playing fast-paced games to be perfectly fine over HDMI to the TV.

Thanks a lot for the reply, my thoughts exactly. The problem currently there isn't a good alternative to the ROG phone that doesn't have a notch, even top bottom bezels, real dual speakers not an earpiece and 1 speaker. In a nutshell a ROG phone but with better specs and camera. There are few on the list but with many shortcomings, 1 example would be the Pixel 3 but it only has 4GB of ram which is a No No...
I guess I will have to wait until a better alternative is available.
Thanks again, and good luck to all of you with your new phones. :good:

wow thanks a lot for the clarification, considering the great emulation power of snap 855 , this phone is a portable "retro" console with hdmi cable (even ps2 works), my idea is to use portable projector with it to use in holidays/hotels etc.
thanks again.
now if gcam provide acceptable/good photos in low lights , is a perfect phone.

MHL, delays and input lag.

Hi all
Running foxhound 1.3, using galaxsih kernel, just popped my MHL cable in my TV.
Anyway needless to say its very cool. However its got a slight delay in input, making gaming a pain in the ass.
I'm using an official MHL cable, powering it with an official power pack and my tv is a beast, all post processing on the TV has been disabled and game mode has been activated, meaning that it should run as good as it can.
I think I've done as much as I can to bring the delay down to a minimum, but its still very noticeable , gaming is not very good because there is a noticeable delay, so anything that requires quick reactions is a no no.
Does anyone have any input about this? It would be superb to get this working well, its cost a few quid to buy all high grade components to set this up, its a shame that its fell at the last hurdle.
Any help would be great
Thanks.

Know that feel, bro.
I also bought the official samsung mhl adapter for s3 (int. edition). And guess what, this adapter gives out a signal of 1080p30Hertz
For real, wtf, is this, only 15 frames per second, videos are not really watchable, games not enjoyable, extreme lag on games, something that shouldnt be, but it is there.
I asked sammy bout that, they said I should send my phone to the service center cause it could be broken (hahaha -.-'') Or my adapter is maybe a faulty unit. I dont know. I have to test it with other s3s. Maybe the adapter doesnt work properly cause my phone is flashed (with system marked as changed and not official state, so I cant update via OTA).
I have to take some time this weekend to check it out, cause it would be really awesome, to play on my FHD tv nfs most wanted.

Dont be sending it back just yet, i've got several s3's in work and i'll be trying them out today, i've attempted it on my two tv's (both Tv's switched to game mode for fastest response time) A Panasonic viera 3DTV, and an LG 3DTV, both top of the line. My HD cables are gold plated high grade 2 metre cables, the MHL is also Official.
I don't believe it's the handset at all.
I think it's just a crap job done at mirroring.
I honestly don't want 1080p, i just wanted 720p, i wanted it to mirror whats on the handset pixel for pixel.
It doesn't need to render it twice, just mirror the one set ffs.
Samsung are terrible for this, there is about half a second lag on my TV, playing tekken was sh** and lagged, on the s3 it was rapid.
Does anyone else have any input on this?
Tried i don't know how many TV's and all have similar results.
Surely it can compete with the like of apple when it comes to getting your device on TV

I've tried it with omega and its the same. I also tested with different TVs, 5 in total and different cables too. 3 in total. And two different HDMI cables.
Maybe its just bad luck. I'll attempt it with another ROM.
Have you used the MHL cable yourself? What results did you have ? I'm aiming at gaming more than anything.
Cheers.

I've just received a MHL adapter, it's not the Samsung official one though.
I don't have any noticeable input lag but I can see it's always running at 30fps.
That's easy to notice while playing emulators (Sonic on megadrive/genesis ).
I tested it on my Samsung 1080p TV, it gives a 1080p output at 30Hz which I think is the maximum possible with this MHL technology atm.
So, I thought "let's try this on the 720p TV I've got downstairs, maybe it will run at 60FPS".
And... no, still 30FPS at 720p.
I was wondering if it was a cheap MHL fault and if the Samsung official one would run faster, what do you guys think? you always have 30fps as well?

Not sure what mine runs at, all I know is that it cost £27 and its nowhere near as good as the iphone one, which pisses me off as I can't stand it when apple has something over android.
That aside, I think the s3 and this mhl technology should work well, but as far as I can see, besides simple browsing and movies, gaming isn't all that good. Infact unless your playing solitaire or pool or something, its not possible. Was playing real racing and although it looks amazing, the delay is just so noticable.
Tekken 3 on epsxe was unplayable and it lagged.
Haven't tried it since the 4.1.2 update but I can't see it moving ahead a lot. Will test it again and see how I go.

I'm stuck at 1080p at 30hz, don't have the option to alter it on my TV, would be nice to be able to have 720 with 60hz.
Thanks for the answer.
Everyone seem to have this problem, 30Hz max while it's technically possible to do [email protected]
I saw someone made a modification at kernel level on the HTC One S to force 60Hz. I asked him how he did but didn't get any answer yet.

Would be good to know how as the delay and lag is a killer.
Great for movies crap for games.
I found his github with the commit but the files are not similar to what we have on I9300.
I've now found that my 0anason8c Vieira runs the mhl cable at 1080i at 60hz. It is smoother. But still not perfect.

Hello
Got a Galaxy note 2, stock ROM JB 4.1.2, with samsung official GS3/GN2 11pin adapter. I have the same problem with the official smartdock and the Juice Defender 5 in 1 MHL Connection Kit.
I have the same problem described by the OP: Output seems to be 1080p.
But about an half second lag that just make games impossible to play on a TV. And that is also easy to see when I open app on the home screen.
Do you really confirm you have no delay ?
If yes I would be really interested in having the ref of your adapter.
30fps or 720p would be just fine for me if I at least I got no delay.
Note: And in addition, I can see with emulators such as N64oid the rendering is much better on my phone screen than on my TV (that's blured and pixelated), what is not the case in other apps (homescreen, video player, ...).
UPDATE 06/05/2017:
The delay was caused by a setting on my TV.
I noticed the same delay when I connected the TV to my PC. After having enabled the PC mode on the TV, the delay disappeared.
I have not rechecked with the phone and the MHL adapter, but I am now pretty sure the delay should be solved now.
Sorry for this false alarm.

Hi, I checked my cable and where I bought it but it's hard to answer.
There is just "HDTV adapter" written on it and no reference at all.
The shop I bought it from has a different adapter on the picture now, so I think they send whatever they have atm.
The price is higher too...
Sorry can't really help here.
I also suspect different TV can have more or less input lag with an MHL connected (and they already have different input lag natively btw).
Bad technology...
Thanks for your answer anyway.
In fact that cannot come from the TV, since my TV (like almost all) is not MHL enabled, meaning there are only regular MHL inputs.
Of course there is a small delay on all TVs, but there is a really big difference between the phone and the PC, if I connect it on the same HDMI input.
So the delay could only come from the MHL to HDMI bridge or to the phone itself.
stock kernel may help fix the mhl delay.i use stock rom with kernel and stock launcher. i do not have mhl issues. also nova launcher may cause mhl to not work
OK, but actually I use a GN2 stock ROM JB 4.1.2. Are you in JB 4.2 ? Or maybe there is difference between S3 and GN2...

Root for ZTE Spro 2 and unlocking 200 lumens in battery mode

Looking for information on how to root ZTE Spro 2 projector. The maximum projection illumination of 200 lumens is locked in battery mode and medium/low 100 lumens or less projection is useless. Too weak even in a dark room, so this restriction renders the internal 6300mAh battery useless.
The projector runs Android v4.4 KitKat. Any help would be appreciated.
http://www.att.com/devices/zte/spro-2-smart-projector.html
In light of the overwhelming response to this request, I am forced to offer a starting bid of $100 USD, for anyone willing to root AND remove the illumination restriction on this device. Please PM me if you intend to look into this. Others are welcome to join in and sweeten the pot for the developer, willing to take this on.
zte spro 2 root
i would love to root my speo2 too, especially to remove the illumination restriction
in battery mode... anyone can help`?
i have a question: is there any remote control that i can buy for this decice since my decice came with NO remote?

zte spro2 root / remote control
thank yall for the reply.. lets keep this forum alive!
well ive bought a remote control seperately for my zte spro2 projector and it works like a charm. i just figured out that the remote control for the zte spro2 (without root permission) is UNABLE to POWER ON/OFF the device itself....
any information about HOW to power on of the device remotely
without rooting it?
(if there is any news about rooting the spro2, pls let me know, still eaiting there)
I second that request.. I know some have successfully rooted the ZTE SPRO 2?
Can someone share the procedure?
Can procedures from ZTE phones be applied here or do we need custom files?
Remote is available on ebay for $29 + free shipping. Cheaper than before...
Thank you!

There's the Spro2 remote app in the playstore that allows you to remotely control the screen. I don't think there is or will be a root for this device at this point.
Huge bug in the ZTE Spro2 projector. Service /system/bin/netmgrd uses 40-50% cpu constantly, even when idle. Notified ZTE software engineer, was promised a fix. 1.5 month ago.
Use "OS Monitor" to easily confirm/test.
I'm looking for a root too. This thing could be amazing if only we could root it.
Anyone bite yet?
Nope, if for only one reason, so we can fix that system process that kills the cpu and battery throwing the whole peojector out of spec. Half cpu speed, draining battery etc. Not what was promised on the specs.

ARE SOME KIND OF ADVACE OR ALREADY ROOTED ??:laugh::fingers-crossed::good:
I've heard some people having success with Kingroot, but it depends on which version of the Spro2 you have. I tried it on the AT&T model and it didn't work. All i want with root is to be able to turn off the hdmi check so i can project the cable tv app which is restricted by the hdmi.
Did you ever find a solution????

Has this been solved yet
I am looking to pick up the ZTE Spro 2 but like you said 100 lumens isn't enough and does render the massive battery useless. Has anybody found a way to unlock the lumen output. Thanks in advance.
KingRoot does a "temporary root". It usually goes away when you reboot and you need to re-root once again. Be sure projector is off when you try to root. For some reason having the projector on prevents root.
Once rooted the only thing I had problems was modifying the hosts file to block ads (ironically the reason why I wanted to root so badly). I have been able to freeze and uninstall bloatware without issues.
Regarding the lumens settings, I haven't really gotten into that. and frankly Im not interested since I use my projector in a closed dark room and do not use it as a portable device
I have the wifi non-sim version
Does anyone else have the bug that when a bluetooth device is connected it pops up a message in Chinese? I would love to be able to root to get rid of that.

ZTE Spro 2 Tips
Here's what I use on my Spro2 for outdoor use.
Slingbox with component cables connected to the cablebox. Allows remote access to all my cable channels with no projection restrictions. Duracell Dura12-9F2 12v 9Ah battery. Provides 6 hours of full 200 lumens projection play time. You'll need to buy a short (2 or 3 ft) dual line electric wire. Attach a power adapter tip to one end and quick disconnect connectors to the other to mount on the battery posts. For audio, I use the very portable but loud and crisp JBL Charge Bluetooth rechargeable speaker that provides 8 hours of play time and comes with USB ports to charge your portable devices (hence it's name). I also use a small multiple port USB adapter so that I'm not limited to one USB device. With that, I simultaneously connect a USB air mouse to remotely control the projector and a 4TB USB External Drive, filled with over 1500 movies, tv shows, concerts, sports, scenery videos, etc. Lastly, I have a 6” camera mini tripod I use to angle and level the projected image. I strongly recommend purchasing the Archos Video Player and MX Player Apps from the Playstore. Archos is an Android movie manager automatically downloads and allows you to view the associated movie posters, movie info, trailers, subtitles etc. for your movie collection, and you can use the Archos built in video player, or set it to use MX Pro as the default video player which gives you the best of both worlds in managing and playing your media. The projector, mini tripod, external battery, external drive, speaker and USB adapter all easily fit into a small back pack or similarly sized pouch. I also keep a portable tripod widescreen in the trunk of my car, but usually find a blank light colored wall to project on so I rarely need to bring it out. Do what I did and you will really get the most out of and enjoy this device. People are always amazed when they see me projecting clear and bright live sport events, TV programming or the latest movies at a park, beach, riverwalk or other relaxing place. So follow my tips, bring your favorite snacks and drinks along and enjoy a fun casual date or family night out projecting 6+ hours of your favorite cable programming, internet media or stored movies. Have fun!

Enough of Google for me.

I'm really pissed of with Google, it seems that their ways to stop us from using what they doesn't want is by killing what we use...
My Nexus 5X already died into the bootloop issue, and today I've just seen that the Nexus 6P is having the exact same issue, which they say as a faulty hardware (Really? 2 completely different brands, with the EXACT SAME ISSUE? You must to be kidding me..).
This is not the first time that Google is killing what we use.
I'm a user of Miracast technology, since marshmallow it wasn't present, but you could activate via a build.prop tweak if you are rooted, in nougat they introduced a bug (yes, intentionally), that the phone will crash If you this tweak and connect to the tv, forcing me to buy their Chromecast 2.
This is not the only thing, have you ever wondered why the hell it doesn't has QI charging? To make us to use their "Fast charging USB C solution..
The Nexus 6 has also had something similar with it's notification LED, which can be activated only If rooted..
Now I really don't know what to do, I'm thinking of downgrading to Marshmallow before my phone got into bootloop, and not having another paper weight on my desk.
The only thing i can assure is that my next phone will be an Galaxy S8, and not another Google Crap phone.

So that's why Miracast no longer works. ?

I agree. It is getting ridiculous. All of the reasons we love the Nexus line are becoming blurry. Miracast is a huge one. Smart tv, Xbox One, and now I have to have a damn Chromecast as well. I'm starting to feel like Apple users must feel. Poor souls.
I don't understand. My Miracast works perfectly fine with Panasonic TVs and LG.

Are you on stock 7.1? Also did you enabled in build.prop and it worked?
My device won't work with my Samsung TV JS7200 or Windows 10 Miracast receiver.

I am on stock 7.0.1 (latest). I didn't change anything in build.prop. I just go to Settings -> Display -> Cast
I've read online that it works with older Miracast (first, second gen) TVs. For e.g. it works with Roku 3 but not 4.

Given that the 6P has a metal build and that no other metal phones(from the top of my head) have Qi charging, I would assume it was due to the the metal build. And in regards to saying that they are just trying to sell "Fast Charging USB C solution", wouldn't you think that they would generate more revenue from implementing a convenient way to charge a phone?
Based on your opinion and what you had said, it sounds like the S8 is the perfect device for you. It's so great to have a plethora of device choices!

Well, my dead Nexus 5X has a plastic body and Google removed QI Charger from it too, something I found really useful, which I was using since Nexus 4 and had to stop on the new ones..

Oh, didn't know that.
But I totally understand you.
Google played a "good guy" comparing to Apple for a few years now, and I really saw this coming. Basically they're just the same. Profit, profit, profit.
You want to cast? Buy a Chromecast.
I really wouldn't be surprised if their Project Fi gains success, and they decide to lock their future devices to their own network.
Nokia years ago was really something else, but it was in the way of the American capitalism so they had to remove it from their perfect market picture.

Number of BT devices working simultaneously

Hi, I was mislead by the store seller that with emphasy told me "and now, with this new mate 20 pro, you can connect up to 2 devices simultaneously!!" (emphasy added). I regarded him and asked if he was kidding. I told him that I actually have up to 4 devices connected and working simultaneously with my note 8 (in DEX I have the BT mouse, the BT keyboard, the BT earphone and the BT gear watch connected).
Now I ask you if this is also possible with the new huawei mate 20 pro or not. It would be so strange if not possible and I think that the store guy was not well prepared.
Thank you
Should be, i had 3 devices connected to my Kirin 960 Mediapad M5 10.8. I think he means two high speed devices, like earphones and headphones.

In developer options you can specify how many bluetooth devices can connect to it. I have set mine to 3 but default was 2.

Don't buy Asus ROG Strix Go 2.4hz for your ROG II

I was about to buy the ASUS ROG Strix Go 2.4hz because I was tired of testing and looking for low latency available BT Audio Devices. Good thing that I checked Zen Talk first.
I found out that the equalizer app for the said device is not available on phones and that they are not yet planning to have one yet. See the attached link of the thread at Zen Talk. https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/43508#Comment_43508
I could have looked the otherway with having a 3.5mm line for hi-res audio but I am not ok without the app.. talk about versatility of the device..

It's designed for PC and what does a lack of an app have to do with the phone's versatility?

I was referring to the strix go 2.4z.. Asus should have developed an integrated system for both of them.. It will be great to have compatible devices.. The current audiowizard on rog II does not have an equalizer.. As to the strix, they are marketing it as a versatile device. If they'd upgrade the audiowizard to have equalizer settings when it is connected to Rog II, that would be definitely great..
I buy one for my rog2 already. U can set EQ save in headset and plug to ur phone. Thats not big deal. I love wireless.

When was the last update bro? I am waiting for the xiaomi line free bluetooth headphones that I ordered, it has aptx adaptive codec.. will try to make review about it... The latency is upto 80ms..
Now back to the ROG Strix Go, is the audiowizard compatible? Setting it's soundstage to wide is great advantage in shooting games... I had 90% accuracy in pinpointing the location of the enemies... I am currently using the fiil t1x TWS, the latency is the reason of that 10%, however the sounds are great.. It was immersive in playing online games, watching movies, and listening to songs..
Try testing the ROG Strix Go with the barber shop test, it's available at youtube.. There's a portion of that audio soundstage test that would make you freak out due to realistic sound effects... Please do reply hear after you have done that.. It will be a great help to all of us..
Will share hear also my experience with the xiaomi device

I am using it for a month now. The only hiccup is tweaking eq via pc Armoury crate. I have mailed Asus to add it on Mobile Armoury Crate as well. It sounds great. Not regretting my decision at all.
