Review on A11

[Swaraj]

So far, A11 seems 3x better than A10. Am satisfied with this update. I have been seeking such a stable and buttery smooth update from asus for so long since lockdown.
Everything is perfect except for few things. I dont see any option for virus definition update or avast anti virus mentioned anywhere except for the icon " privacy and security "
And there is no option to select multiple contacts, if u want to delete multiple contacts. I had to delete 1 by 1 and thats too much time consuming so i quited it for now.
Also when playing games, the settings are not applied to games from armoury crate, for example i have set Pokémon unite game cpu frequency at 2.4 ghz and when i launch game and check, it shows 825 mhz and keeps fluctuating in between 825 mhz to 2.97 ghz.
Battery backup seems okay then a10 atleast, but a9 battery backup is still the best.
Sensors and airtriggers are working perfectly fine. (atleast for me)
Ram consumption is little high but thats fine as long as it runs smooth.
Google chrome surfing is jittery as it was in a10. Even if i have set refresh rate at 120hz, surfing chrome feels like am at 30 hz.
Finger print animations and charging animation is cool too. I wish if we had more animations for charging and fingerprint.
Thats it. I'll update here if i find any glitches or bugs.
Also a personal request, can u please launch more live wallpapers for rog 2? There are only 4 live wallpapers which respond to X mode.I got an idea but idk if devs will try to make it or not but here's the thing.
Theres an anime character named Itachi from anime "Naruto". The live wallpaper has his face with dark background. And when we turn on Xmode, the sharingan in his eyes circulate and glows and he smiles.??

Battery backup is best and UI is soo smooth in A11. Thanks asus for this ❤️
Few things can be modified like
-call screen window is now black by default. It was blue on A10
-Recording savings folder have been changed to music folder rather than recording folder
-Default file manager app is too slow now. It takes a lot of time to refresh. It was smooth in A10

Am listing down the problems to be fixed and features to be added for users simplicity.

Am on latest firmware i.e .190 (A11)

1. X mode settings in armoury crate doesnt apply to games. For example i have set Pokémon unite game cpu frequency at 2.4 ghz and when i launch game and check, it shows 825 mhz and keeps fluctuating in between 825 mhz to 2.97 ghz. On A10, there was a different problem and i think this is interrelated somehow. On A10 when i setup my xmode to level 1 and cpu at 2.4ghz and when i strt the game and check the cpu freq in game genie, it didnt show me 2.4ghz freq, it was very lower than 1.8 ghz. I.e 875mhz or something. I tried on various games with different xmode levels and frequencies but still the same issue. The only thing that worked was, if u setup xmode level to level 3 then the game genie showed the correct cpu frequency which is chosen by user i.e if i select 2.4 ghz it displays 2.4ghz or if i chose 1.8ghz , it displays 1.8 ghz . But for level 1 or level 2, it didnt seem to work properly.
2. feature to select and delete multiple contacts.
3. feature to turn led light to green when battery is charged to the limit set by user. for example if i set charge limit at 80% then when my phone charges to 80% the led should turn green notifing the user that phone is charged. the current led stays at red and i get confused lots of time thinking that my phone is still charging, making me leave it for a while.
4. Virus defination update option in "privacy and security" . Since the option is not there yet, does that mean we dont have an antivirus protection now? bcuz i couldnt find anywhere about avast antivirus being mentioned in privacy and security.
5. Surfing Chrome is both smooth and jittery sometimes. Idk whats the problem. It runs smooth at interface but jitters on some web links while scrolling.
6. Option to create new blank window on homescreen. Also there is an option to change font color at home screen but there isnt any option available to set it for all apps/app drawer
7. Option to hide "battery saving mode turned on" notification and "charging limit set" notification in notification panel. A small icon on status bar is sufficient to notify user about it.
8. Ghost Touch appears out of blue. It doesnt occur frequently, but its there. (Am damn sure my hands were dry and clean when it happened). The only solution that works for me is locking and unlocking my phone. After doing this, ghosttouch issue disappears instantly and appears who knows when. This ghosttouch issue is being on rog firmware since a9. And am disappointed to know that its still not fixed. Its impossible to record it bcuz screen gets unresponsive when it happens. I have even logged my phone when it happened on a9 and submitted it. But its still there, way back from a9 to a11.
9. Themes are not system wide applied or end to end. Am sure @ARP_ASUS noted it. But what i want to know is even if u fix it, will it really apply on system apps and system hints which still displays in orange theme? despite of any theme chosen??? for example mobile manager app and autostrt manager>Notice, slider in app drawer etc still displays in orange color
10. It would be wonderful if there were more live wallpaper animations which react to xmode enabling/disabling.

Thats it. Everything is working perfect for me.

Thanks for buttery smooth A11.

Bugs to be fixed and some necessary features to be added for ROG 2.
