Asus Zenfone Z007 / ZC451CG

Confirm model ZC451CG, ASUS ZenFone "Z007" new smartphone from asus appeared at Certification Website


ASUS smartphone codenamed Z007 can confirm the model to determine why.


In the 16th, Taiwan NCC Certification site appears codenamed Z007's ASUS ZenFone, however, until today, we can finally confirm the exact model of this smartphone.





ASUS Z007 exact model ZC451CG, belongs to China ASUS responsible products, but appeared in Taiwan NCC certification repository, presumably the future will be sold in the Taiwan market.



In describing exposure certification Web site, you can know ZC451CG screen size is 4.5 inches, and its resolution is at 860 x 480. As for the processor part, will continue to use the Intel Atom dual-core products, with 1GB of memory and a 2100mAh battery capacity.

Lens is 5MP and 0.3MP, this one seems to be no change.


This is a comparison of the China version probably felt electricity becomes 2100
The same 4.5-inch A450CG As A500CG just before 1750 is 2110
That means that the next generation is approaching 4.5 power consumption and perhaps the current 5-inch 5.5-inch to 6-inch version can approximate power should be no small progress

if you don't want to reset your phone:
1. Install aSQLiteManager app from google play.
2. Press Open Database.
3. press .. directory to go back until you get to root directory and grant for root access if it asked.
4. Go to data -> data -> com.android.providers.settings -> databases and open settings.db.
5. Open global and press Data.
6. Press PgDn and look for wifi_country_code.
7. Click Edit and set wifi_country_code value to us.
8. Click OK.
9. Done. If you already enabled Xwifix module you can restart the phone and enjoy WiFi.

Important
1. This app needs the Xposed Framework. The framework requires root access for installation.
2. You should make a factory reset and enable this module before inserting simcard or change wifi_country_code manually as i explained above.

I made this module for asus zenfone 5 4.4.2 update and specially for Iranian users.but i think it should work on other phones running android 4.0+.
