[ZenFone 2 General] :
Tommorow Asus is holding a conference in Paris:

http://press.asus.com/events/

Website Asus.fr:

http://www.asus.fr/ZenFone2/offre-lancement-ASUS-Shop/

http://eshop.asus.com/fr-FR/mobile?cat=2645

The prices for some models are already displayed, the 2GB 720p version is allready for sale on Amazon.

Here in europe its likely gonna be:

ZE551ML, 4GB Ram, 32GB Storage : 300,- euro

ZE550ML, 2GB Ram, 16GB Storage : 249,- euro

ZE500CL, 2GB Ram, 16GB Storage, 720 P : 200,- euro

http://eshop.asus.com/fr-FR/mobile?cat=2645&p=1

Not sure if the 64GB version is gonna be for sale over here (europa) but is has an SD-slot, so its not that big of a deal.

Just make sure you check the processor of each model, i read somewhere that the 4GB Ram-64GB Storage is the only one with the 2.3 Ghz(the ZE551ML)
[ZenFone 2 General] beastofexmoor:
Why would they make a dual SIM phone single SIM for only the US? If they were selling it through carriers then sure, but we've heard no evidence that this is the case.
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcamp:
That's true. It will not be sold via carriers, so dual SIM it is.
[ZenFone 2 General] calyxim:
The one on ebay costs £199 which is 270 Euro-ish. Why is the price so different? Are the specs different?

Anyone with some info?
[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
I think Europe is known to have high prices in their country. There is still a chance that it will be in $200. But we'll have to wait and see what the price is in Indonesia for that to be determined. Don't worry man, patience is key.
[ZenFone 2 General] piskr:
For those from the USA who are looking for the ZE550ML model (1.8GHZ/2GB RAM/16GB ROM), there is an ww (European, without LTE 700MHz, others US bands are supported) on stock in Expansys USA now: http://www.expansys-usa.com/asus-zenfone-2-ze550ml-dual-sim-unlocked-lte-16gb-pure-white-275807/
[ZenFone 2 General] onlinejobwork:
Can sombody tell me where can I buy ZE551ML from UK please?
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcamp:
I just want to add that, if you are using AT&T in the USA, and you need LTE, do not get the one mentioned below. AT&T's primary LTE band is 17 (700). The other LTE bands they use, is either to deal with capacity issues, or to use in areas where they do not have LTE band 17 licenses. There are already several postings of those that are on AT&T not able to get LTE with this version.

[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
Hey Mates,

has anybody a recommendation where to buy the ZE551ML in Europe with shipping to Germany? Can't find a shop in France shipping to anywhere elese in Europe....
[ZenFone 2 General] glockaki:
cdiscount ships to belgium.i order mine though a friend in belgium.waiting for it.dont know with asus in italy how things are....use a parcel forward service....or a friend in belgium....or in italy...
[ZenFone 2 General] Hudrator:
Thanks glockaki,

Takeing a closer look at the parcel forwarding. But seems only availebale with an Abo...
[ZenFone 2 General] panthera1:
update on ordering off eglobal. Checked with them today as to why processing was taking so long and it turns that they dont have them in stock and they wont be back in for 2 to 3 days. Then they say they wont deliver to parcel motel locations (It does not say this in their terms and conditions) so I asked them to change my address but they said i would have to start a new order putting me at the back of the list for a pre order. Cant be arsed with this phone for now. Limited availability, can only buy in certain countries and issues with battery I am going to leave it for a month or so. Hopefully by then it will be more available, bugs worked out and sadly 50 euro dearer. Plus hopefully there will be some news on the oneplus two
[ZenFone 2 General] Floken:
anyone knows a shop to import ww sku of zenfone 2?
[ZenFone 2 General] piskr:
Darty fr, Cdiscount fr and of course Asus fr and Asus it. Soon Expansys may sell it as well. But I advise you: stay away of eglobalcentral.co.uk. Their answer to my question clearly indicate that they aren't selling ww but probably tw or even china. That means not only lack of LTE reception but facing the import charges too.
[ZenFone 2 General] vasek.maly:
eglobalcentral.eu is OK? ww version?

EDIT:

I asked eglobalcentral.eu twice if LTE are the same like listed on web and they said:

"With regard to your inquiry. Please be kindly informed, that Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4G Dual Sim 64GB SIM FREE/ UNLOCKED - Black has the following specifications:

FDD-LTE: 2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/2600MHz(7)/900MHz(8)/800MHz(18)

***Please double-check if the devices is compatible your operators' network coverage.

We regret to inform that the phone is now in shortage and the new stock is arriving within 1-2 weeks time.

Would you consider on waiting for the restock arrival?

Please reply to our message how you wish to process your order."

I hope they saying true....and I will wait two weeks more...
[ZenFone 2 General] m0ngstr0us:
Singapore's pricing.

Pre-order ended and shipping on the 18th.

http://store.asus.com/sg/category/B4156

ZE551ML 4GB 32GB - SGD429 (Mid May)

ZE551ML 4GB 64GB - SGD499 (September est.)

(Both are Intel Z3580)

I got the 4GB/32GB during the launch event. :cool:
[ZenFone 2 General] nutzuTo:
I got the TW version but it cane with WW Fw so I have no problems with the LTE bands here in Canada,or US ,I know is confusing but the Taiwanese version comes with all the bands
[ZenFone 2 General] yusoffb01:
Im from Singapore

Got the international version of ZE550ml from here

After using 18m1anniv, price is around $220 sgd. thats 165.04 US Dollar
[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
That's super cheap
[ZenFone 2 General] yusoffb01:
Combined with https://www.shopback.sg/ its another 2.5%-5% off any online purchases
[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
That price is hard to turn away. I may consider to buymit, but I want to wait for the U.S release.
[ZenFone 2 General] coastalmikey:
Except band 17 which is the primary AT&T band.
[ZenFone 2 General] MrKoji:
Cant wait for it to be released in PH. :cyclops:
[ZenFone 2 General] CenereZar:
I'm italian.i paid it 300 euros from an italian seller located in china.the phone was CN.i converted it to WW.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] flamery:
I have a z7 mini. Tried the latest xposed version it gave me a resource error and the module I'm trying to use requires the resource api so workaround doesn't help. I installed an older version 2.5.1 and ended up boot looping. Anyone have a solution? Huawei users can disable theme in build prop to get around the issue but I didn't find any such line in my build file!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] voetbalremco:
Gotta use cm or mokee I guess, the Nubia UI isn't made for xposed modules that change the UI, and thus only works partially with resource hooks disabled.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] flamery:
yeah thats what I thought. Its annoying though, the only module I want to use is the snapchat saver, it snot like it should really be affecting the system UI but it wont work without resources enabled. Just wish there was a way to stop the nubia UI form loading at boot just to see what its like.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] voetbalremco:
If you disable the Nubia UI, there is no UI.

ZTE/Nubia modified the Android UI to their liking, its not that they added it to the default look and set it as default.

You can't switch between them rather then switching roms, moving to CM11/12.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pilililo2:
There is a way to use it with the nubia roms. In TDBeta forum a guy ported a old version of xposed to nubia ui devices, go to the forums and try to find it. If you cant find it, just PM me and ill send it over to you :)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] flamery:
Hmm thatnks for that. I am not totally sure if he has really done what he says though. i suspect he may have just made the error message disappear. I still cannot use the module I want (snaprefs) because I am missing the bridge module. So I suspect this custom verison just has that stripped out so no error appears. i may be wrong though!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pilililo2:
Right now im in CM12, but when i used the official rom the custom version of xposed worked like a charm. Its old though, but does what it says.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] flamery:
Yes!! i found a later version for Nubia, 2.6.1 which i think is the latest stable. seems to work well on my device!

ROM: NEAT ROM 4.4.4

KERNEL: gustavo_s' kernel for AOSP version 04 Feb 2015 with Synapse.

So one day when drinking beer I thought to myself: if Ondemand is so sensitive in jumping to higher frequencies, why bother setting the threshold low? So I just simply went to Synapse and set the up-threshold to 99%. Naively I just thought it was to make sure the CPU was full until it needed a faster frequency. To my surprise, a few days later was fantastic: the time my GS spent on high frequencies was so good it looked like I was using conservative, the least time was on 1200MHz and goes up along with lower frequencies. And the performance was intact :silly::silly::silly:

:silly::silly::silly: can anyone confirm you had tried this before?

One last thing: I just enable GPU rendering, I read that GPU used more power so it is not efficient but on this kernel I am able to use 54MHz and 66MHz which only drain 800Mah which is less than the voltage of 200MHz. My first feelinng is that scrolling through Manga app no longer lags. Will this work as I expected, guys? :silly:

P/S: sorrry for my broken English.
[Galaxy S II General] nhmanas:
Using gpu in lower frequencies may unstable phone. I use [MENTION=4217277]Gustavo_s[/MENTION] kernel too. My first frequency step is 108MHz and 800mV can easly handle this. Lower frequencies only slows phone. Enabling gpu rendering also causes overheating on AOSP roms on i9100 belive me I tested.

Edit: Also 99 is a high value. 85 to 95 is ok.

Sorry for my bad english too..
[Galaxy S II General] dongnguyen2301:
Yeah I may feel that right, I'm switching to 66Mhz and it feels better, yet I don't think GPU rendering causes overheating, it felt the same, I'm turning it off for comparison a few days... :silly:
[Galaxy S II General] Saber:
I assume you don't care about gaming performance or any graphics intensive tasks? Don't see why this is a weird tweak, but it is still a noteworthy tweak that may help people who want raw computing speed but no gaming.
[Galaxy S II General] dongnguyen2301:
That's right, don't have any single game, but I'm very very into multi-task. Switching from app to app in seconds... so that obviously works for multi-task people.

I recently switched to intellidemand with the same setting and notice the CPU spent even less time on the high frequency, but it begin to has lag so I think ondemand is still my best choice right now

i m concerning with the battery usage

can anyone give feedback?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thanhtho96:
1day with normal useage smoother than stock cm11 get over 1k3 benchmark with quadrant benchmark (without SD card), stock cm11 only is 1k1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enviro50042c:
and i m using slimkat now with fluid kernel for daily use (got 1k3)

i feel lag with whatsapp when switching contact and got black screen or delay wake up imcomming call problemm

since i have not running quadrant long time, I feel so strange for the score w/ 4.4 os

there's a large different compare to ics especially on i/o performance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thanhtho96:
Fuild kernel is so old. Download Lastest Semaphore kernel "s" version If you want more RAM download "sv" version and If you want more more RAM use "sv" version + Bigmem.zip but before flash Bigmem you should change resolution video recording to 480p because bigmem cause camera crash with 720p resolution. And now have Omni lollipop you can try Here
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enviro50042c:
actually i have tried semaphore before, but it seems quite drain battery

i think that neat kernel is the one much save battery

BTW omni lollipop can boot up now?

i may have a comparison with coderom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thanhtho96:
Omni is bootup check My screenshots

I have used Slimkat it really have bug because it just a port and You can become tester of CodeROM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enviro50042c:
before, i will choose 4.2.2 >4.4.4 because it is very save battery.

it may drops only 5% for whole night compared with 4.4 up to 20-40% (wifi on)

however, i always got FC problem when using whatsapp on 4.2.2 os

4.4.4 is much smooth. at least i wont get fc, maybe just sometime pop out the message to wait/close/cancel

however, battery consumption is a big problem in exchange with performance.

i have to bring a 10000mah power bank.

i will use omni for a week first then go for codeRom(maybe next update)

are you using codeRom with semaphore or just stock kernel?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thanhtho96:
Stock kernel with CodeROM if you want ROM save battery is Spirit ROM in my signature but don't use semaphore kernel stock kernel, too

Hello, could I ask a pretty random question please??? I've got myself on a couple forum's, this and a few others, I am a total beginner when technology is concerned, I'm on these sites for help and to learn what I can, I got a couple of phones, and I want to root my moto, where is the best sites or Web pages to start learning how to do these things myself, I know most of you work and fiddle and set things up brilliantly like making custom roms, to me that sounds like you got to be a genuine, and I respect the people who work hard on these things then let people have your work, amazing customized roms, apps, everything, I just like to start at the bottom and root my moto g first then go on from there. Thank you for any help, Stephen.

Hey XDA! Hyper Toolchains has been reworked from the ground up, now offering 40+ different toolchains.

Now that that's over with, let's get this party started!

There are six different variations of each toolchain version I build. 7.0 builds do not have Linaro GCC variants.

LinaroXSaberMod - Linaro GCC built with SaberMod dependencies such as binutils, gmp, isl, etc. On branch LxSM

LinaroXUber - Linaro GCC built with Uber dependencies. On branch LxU

SaberModXLinaro - SaberMod GCC built with Linaro dependencies. On branch SMxL

SaberModXUber - SaberMod GCC built with Uber dependencies. On branch SMxU

UberXLinaro - SaberMod GCC built with Linaro dependencies. On branch UxL

UberXSaberMod - SaberMod GCC built with Uber dependencies. On branch UxSM​

What makes these toolchains special?

Where can I get these toolchains?

All of the builds can be found in their respective repos on the Hyper Toolchains bitbucket. The different variations are sorted by branch, while the different toolchain versions (4.9, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x) are in the repo names.

Hyper Toolchains BitBucket.

How can I use these toolchains?

Well, I wrote a handy little guide here -->[GUIDE][LINUX] Switching to a custom toolchain [ARM][AARCH64]

There are so many amazing people that I would have to thank for making this possible, I wont even try to thank them all, but without them I wouldn't be able to bring these to you.

Noice! Will test LinaroMod on Vivid ;)

EDIT: which toolchains contains more Linaro? SaberNaro or LinaroMod? I'm a little confused.

I also see that android-eabi has only one folder, do i have to download linaro toolchain and add that folder there or what? A lot of files are not there and i can't compile.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frap129:
SaberNaro 4.8 Androideabi uploaded and a working version of LinaroMod!

Thank you for these toolchains! I have to do some benchmarking to see which one is faster (or if it makes enough of a difference to matter) and also it versus [MENTION=4825437]Christopher83[/MENTION]'s Linaro Toolchain for Cortex-A15

I don't care about fanboyism and stuff, whatever's faster is what I'll stick with
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xileforce:
when I attempt to use this TC I get "arm-eabi-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-pthread'" and before that i had to disable stack protector. I'm a noob so maybe im doing something wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sparksco:
SaberMod isn't a option there for your test eh? Fanboyism? Not sure what your referring to there. Some toolchains have been around longer like linaro has probably all of the toolchains beat in that regard. So because some toolchains have more fans it makes them slower and not as fast as others? You do realize that benchmarks can mean absolutely nothing in real world uses most of the time right? Benchmarks don't hit every aspect of software optimizations. Mostly just hardware. While we're at it let's just throw battery life out the window too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xileforce:
OK so I decided to test a few more TCS to check and for some reason I'm getting the "arm-eabi-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-pthread'" error on all of them except Christopher's toolchain....I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. Compiling for nexus 6 if that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sparksco:
We have to enable threads support in LD. I'll see about doing it this week sometime..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CounterC:
[MENTION=5051294]frap129[/MENTION] I wonder what is the difference between HYPER and UBER toolchain?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xileforce:
Awesome! Does thread support just mean it uses multiple threads to compile or the compiled product can be threaded. Sorry if its a dumb question. Also is there a way I can temporarily disable pthread to compile?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sparksco:
No it's not a dumb question [emoji6]

I learned about -pthread back in KitKat from this link.

https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/

Initially I used it to fix some compile errors in the AOSPAL ROM.

https://github.com/SaberMod/android_build-OLD/commit/93d376380dffae1ec96eeb0ef00a7e663d107ca4

But since lollipop I had the idea to compile the entire ROM globally with -pthread since the ROM toolchain uses gold LD and supports this flag.

https://gitlab.com/SaberMod/pa-android-build/blob/lp-mr1/core/pthread.mk

It compiles the ROM binaries to be more optimized for multi-thread (multi-core) devices. And since we don't use single thread (single core) devices, it makes sense to also have this feature available for the kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frap129:
Uber is pretty much Linaro with a few changes from AOSP. Hyper is a mix of SaberMod and Linaro to provide the best performance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CounterC:
So which one is better :p ?

Im currently on Slimsaber + Metallized kernel and I notice a big difference with this UBER toolchain (battery life and performance). I wonder how this would compare to HYPER?

I will ask the dev to compile with your TC.

Can you give me more details on differences between HYPER and UBER?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frap129:
Well, full Hyper GCC is in the works (which will be a full blend of Linaro and SaberMod), but right now there are a few toolchains I have compiled that merge Linaro and SaberMod in various ways to give developers a more broad range of each, i.e. do they want the speed of SaberMod or the smoothness of Linaro. Uber on the other hand, is pretty much stock linaro with a few changes made, so its nothing special.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CounterC:
Thanks for that information, I will pass it to the devs of my favourite ROM.

I know we can't ask ETAs but do you have an estimation when this will be finished? So I can pass this information to the devs as well...

EDIT: I honestly see a lot of difference with this UBER, I cant imagine how it will be with full HYPER then :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frap129:
Tell your devs to try my LinaroMod toolchain, it's currently the best performer
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CounterC:
Thanks but how does it perform batterywise? I like a lot of battery and I underclock my device anyway most of the time...

no ETA?.... :p

PS: what is the difference between LinaroMod ARM-EABI 4.9 and LinaroMod ANDROIDEABI 4.9
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sparksco:
I'll be re-basing the 4.8 branch sometime soon so we'll see if we can make sabernaro faster [emoji6]

Right now the speed of SaberMod 4.9 and 5.0 is hard to compete with since those were already redone. But currently only available for the kernels of course.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xileforce:
Is sabermod 5.0 usable yet for kernels? Ik before I heard that 5.0 was unusable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sparksco:
It's only usable with kernel patching. I already pushed kernel changes and also there's some changes by the hyper team here for Bacon (one plus one).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xileforce:
OK cool I'll take a look. Once the pthread deal gets fixed I'll be good to go :D
