How to downgrade to Android 10
Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
- Model Name: ZenFone 6 ZS630KL
- Firmware Version: WW_18.0610.2011.107
- Rooted or not: No
- Frequency of Occurrence: every time
- APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): Youtube Music
========================================
Look, I don't like this android 11 on zenfone 6.
First, on this version zen ui launcher I can't change icon pack anymore, the option wasn't there.
Second, I don't know if it's android 11 behavior or a bug, but after closing youtube music, the media control doesn't disappear, I have to restart the phone to make it disappear
Third, seems like asus programmer didn't do anything to their crappy twin apps. It still can't access contact for whatsapp.
So how can I downgrade to android 10? I've tried to download android 10 firmware and place it on microsd, and then try to install it via recovery mode but it didn't work

Did you try using a downgrade firmware which downgrades 10 to 9 ? (It may not help to downgrade from 11 to 9)
But give it a try once !
1. Although icon packs aren't listed in ZenUI, I can still change them 🤷🏽♂️
1) I can easily change icon pack, u just don't know how to do it
2) I am using twin whatsapp with app my contract u just don't know how to do it.
Let me tell you how, in zenfone twin app is whole diff world u need to signin Google account specially for twin account differently then only u will be able to access contacts there
If u don't believe try opening a link from twin whatsapp, even the chrome which will open will be different specially for twin mode and it's tabs won't reflect in chrome which u will open manually
This was what happening in android 10 most probably is same in android 11
I'm searching the firmware but can't find it in asus Indonesia page. What number is the firmware?
How? Where the option is? Can you change the icon from one to another?
So instead you only commented I don't know how to do the thing I ask. It's much more faster and helping if you commented about how to do it.

This is actually for 10-9 , no idea whether it works for 11-9
Ok then, I'll download it first. Thank you
It's from Indian Website and if it detects , be aware that it will erase entire data
@Whatever
Yes, as long as the downloaded icon pack has an "Apply to : ZenUI Launcher" button ! I also can revert to the default one in ZenUI Launcher settings > Homepage > Reser icon pack
Ahhh, to bad. Only 1 icon pack have that option, the rest doesn't have that option button. But thanks for the info
Why u want to use asus launcher it kind of suck use nova (forever love)
I too agree cloning sucks in asus once u setup Google account for cloning then everything will be sorted, just save new contacts in Google account, we do have this option while saving contacts then turn on auto synchronize
Try asus.tw bios and firmware even in taiwan site they provide downgrade A11 to A10 for global.
@Whatever , @ramdanrivanto is right, it's in second tab of website, get that and downgrade
1. "Icon pack support has been removed from the launcher" yes that's true from what I know this was done to avoid some compatibility issues (other OEMs have did the same afaik)
But still there are many icon packs you can apply through their apk (many support Zen ui launcher)
2. Did you try sliding the notification away?left or right? What's the behaviour then? (This might be an isolated software glitch with you)
3. You have to link your Google account to access saved contacts in twin apps settings for the cloned app
And please don't don't disrespect the devs even if there are some bugs, you may not agree but Asus did work pretty hard on Zenfone 6's beta program this year, it got 14 fricking beta's in total and Zenfone 6 remains one of the only 2019 devices leaving pixels to get updated to android 11.
Plus this time the experience has been very stable for everyone leaving a few cosmetic bugs that's rather good as a jump from one android os version to another brings various bugs with it (just look at the amount of complains on oneplus forums regarding oos 11)
If you find a bug report it to the mods it'll be fixed in the next ota
Asus added almost all Zen ui 7 features to Zenfone 6 icon style,accent color support, animation speed support in ui itself,Rog like game genie, battery care features,a smoother and aesthetically better ui and the removal of bloat like avast
That's all I gotta say
@ramdanrivanto , @Bhasky . Thanks for the info will look it tonight, if it's WW version then I can use it
1) ok then, now I know why.
2) I already swipe it but weirdly it's comeback after a while, so I have to restart my phone to make it disappear completely.
3) well, maybe you can put it that way, me disrespect the programmer. But for me what I'm saying is a expression of disappointment toward asus. One of the reason I bought zenfone 6 because it's said have twin app feature, a feature that I need because I can use it to split my whatsapp contact between private and work (I use 2 phone number). And I use clone feature for whatsapp on my two previous phone brand (x****i & s*****g) without hassle. So I expect clone feature working too on asus phone, because asus advertise this feature. I have this phone for almost a year, and that's a pretty long time for asus to fix this bugs. But I guest fixing twin app not their priorities, so I'm using another alternative for this bugs/issue.
We may not agree at each other as you said, but hey....no hard feeling, I respect your opnion
Battery drains faster after Android 11 upgrade.
Yeah i am also feeling this🤔sort of decreased
Have you tried it? I am about to downgrade too, what tool you use?
