Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Asus 5z
Firmware Version: Latest ( Sept. Patch)
Rooted or not: Not
Frequency of Occurrence: DNA
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): Stock Zenui Apps
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
As Update cycle for 5z is coming to end i would like Asus mods & developers to update the stock ZenUI apps which are totally outdated in terms of design and features. There are few apps like Contacts, Gallery which needs to be updated.
Contacts :- Design is almost simillar to google contacts and it's good but you can't change, add or remove the contact photo from gallery or email.
Gallery :- In gallery all photos are displayed in "photos" section. It should be only camera photos in that section.

I have switched to Google Contacts app and also Phone app from google instead as Asus design is outdated and Asus is also going with stock messages , phone and contacts app for the new zenui so i think there won't be much updates to the old zenui based stock apps.
I just hope that Zenfone 5z gets android 11 sometime soon but there was no official announcement yet.

1. Asus clock- You can group alarms,add alarms for a specific date plus some more stuff and the app has a better ui now

2. Asus calculator - updated ui design

3. Asus weather - updated ui design

4. Asus game genie - brightness bar in game genie,a data only option,new ui design

Sadly fps meter is broken and real time info only shows temperature and cpu clock

5. Asus file manager- not a big difference here the only difference is the type of file stack arrangement

6. Asus sound recorder- the only difference here is the ui,rest everything literally same as Zen ui 6

7. Asus camera from Zenfone 6 A11 -

https://us.v-cdn.net/6031231/uploads/0260ZN8C0UWJ/asuscamera-281-29.apk

This app doesn't run well as it wasn't meant to run on 5z

Expect crashes in different modes, panaroma doesn't work,pro video mode is not present and other bugs/broken stuff

I guess HDR++ works tho and the app has Zenfone 6 ui design

8. Screensaver which is a part of clock I guess gets updated to zen ui 7 design too

screenshot-20201016-182032084.jpg

Note- These apps are ported from the Zenfone 6 and aren't meant to run on 5z so expect some compatibility issues

But leaving camera I personally didn't have any issue with other apps but if you face any bugs uninstall updates for that app

* If you want to roll back to the version the current stable of 5z has just uninstall updates for the app

Thanks. I've been using some ZenUI 7 apps like weather, clock and calculator which is working fine. Some features aren't working in game genie.
