um....sounds pretty bad....

is the taiwanese version works better than the china version in USA and Canada?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oif0709:
I agree. Thats the only thing I want to see out of this release now is better signal. I am not getting LTE for T-Mobile just H+ but it doesn't bother me to much. Everything I am able to do with this phone I am more than happy with. And an update to a 64 bit OS would be nice. Everything ASUS is putting out for this phone is still on 32 bit OS. Which is nonsense when you're spouting everything about 64 bit chips.

Neither one work good for US and CA. You can still call and text but browsing just isnt going to go over smoothly. When I first got it in, it had China's firmware which was difficult to navigate through and didn't have Gapps or any native google support. What I did, and pretty much everyone else that has bought it from overseas what flash the firmware to the European version which is WW. Switching the firmware in and of itself was a pain because the bootloader is still locked. China is CN, Taiwan is TW, and another they just released is JP which I assume is Japan. The European version still doesn't get LTE Signal but runs a lot more smoothly than CN, or TW and gets better signals. If you got it, just flash to a WW firmware and the phone will work awesome.

What makes you say its 32bit? Surely as its 5.0+ its 64bit?

Hey guys they're talking about the zenfone 2 to be AT&T exclusive and stuff. Do you guys think it will be like any other flagship phone? What I mean by this is that do you still think it will be unlocked ? Because I will not be paying monthly for a phone.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oif0709:
On the phone, if you install antutu benchmark and check device info on it, it will give you details about the OS. Under it is says Android 5.0 (32bit). They're expecting with the 5.1 update that it will be a 64 kernel. I could be wrong, but this is just what I have seen and what has been mentioned quite a bit in zenfone forums by asus with people complaining.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Cool, I see, that should be a great update then and make things more efficient.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcamp:
I can't imagine they will make it an AT&T exclusive. Did you read that somewhere, and if so, can you share the link? If that's the case, then the darn thing will be locked to AT&T. And AT&T will have their nonsense stuff on it!

`The link is in the first post of the thread but I posted it for you again. First paragraph of the article. - "On the 18th of May in Manhattan, New York, ASUS will be visiting with a USA-based taste of their smartphone ZenFone 2. This device will subsequently be available at AT&T - like previous releases of ASUS phones in the United States."

That Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 is looking better now. I hope they sell it unlocked but if it only works on AT&T networks that's okay. I'm leaving AT&T and going to H2O Wireless this month so I'm not buying a locked phone. And yes I know H2O and other virtual carriers will take locked AT&T phones. The good thing about the Alcatel Idol 3 is that it will work on AT&T and T-Mobile U.S. networks.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcamp:
AT&T is going to render the phone less useful. Also, I doubt the AT&T version will be dual sim. I hope it's also available unlocked via 3rd party retailers, such as Amazon.

2GB model, no thanks, I will stick with the 4/64 that I picked up in Taiwan
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troy5890:
I think that it's smart that people ordered their's esrly, because maybe they might put the phablet on a AT&T. Just a prediction
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabemasu88:
so order early is better? :D
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troy5890:

Got a delivery estimate update from Amazon for the 4GB/64GB version unlocked for May 27-June 3, but the item page is still taken down.

If someone with more experience comes along and decides it's piques his interest, that'd be swell.. If not I'll try my hand.

We all know Sense's camera blows anything else away... And since we have a semi-functional multiboot here's what I suggest:

Simply a stripped down no nonsense minimal Sense ROM. Barebones to death. Nothing but camera so we can multiboot a daily driver and reboot into "camera mode" when we desire decent photos

Anyone?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] daddyodizzel:
Hello good folks, I have a quick question. I'm currently on M8 GPE 5.0.1, everything works flawlessly, I've noticed that when I "upgraded" my wife's device, she has LTE on her signal bars, and I have H. She is getting better signal than I am and download speed. Quick story, we have data unlimited which we kept when we migrated from Alltel Wireless. We're not getting the highest LTE speed, but still coming from Alltel at 1.2 MB download speed is an upgrade. My wife is getting about 6-8 MB/s and I'm getting 2-4 MB/s She's not currently home at the moment, but I will take a look at her device whenever she gets here. I am SuperCID, my HBOOT is 3.19, Radio is 1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.419t.01_F, my OS is 416.401.10 I guess my question is, how do I upgrade the firmware? I know for a fact her OS and radio are different. Thank you in advance.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZeRo2o9:
There should be a full firmware.zip for the gpe in the other forum I think gpe is 5.1 now, but I would just try and update to the newest gpe Rom and firmware to see if it helps, or use the version your wife has if it's differeng

Can you please confirm that this is the size.

Thanks. It works very well.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arbrib86:
It records the touches.. It just does it wrong. I mean that the screen displays the image in landscape and the digitizer thinks it is in portrait. For example if you want to touch the bottom left part you have to actually touch the top half of the left side of the screen. If you want to scroll vertically you have to slide your finger horizontally.

Been playing with this ROM for 3-4 days and finding it much smoother and more stable than CM12 (LP 5.0.x). Nice job.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
Port feedback

Brilliant job, man!! The ROM seems stable enough for a daily driver, even from a dirty flash from Hashcode's CM12 port. Just a few bugs:

1) When choosing to show the seconds for the time, the seconds show up after the PM/AM text. The attached screenshot demonstrates this (I used the CandyROM sweeteners for the Adventure Time themed navbar).

2) When I paired my Bluetooth keyboard, I was able to type the pairing code as prompted, but even though Android recognizes it as an input device, I'm not able to type with the keyboard. This issue didn't occur in CM11, but it was prominent in Hash's CM12 ports. Maybe it's a lollipop issue in general?

3) the navigation ring targets look awfully large (also shown in the screenshot). This issue appeared before (and after, as well) I customised the navigation ring targets, and it did not do this in Hashcode's port.

Otherwise, this ROM is excellent for a first port!

EDIT: Adding screenshot link: http://imgur.com/dubEMEH

EDIT 2: I'm cross-posting this from the ROM Q&A forum because I now have over 10 posts. Any plans for an update? ?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arbrib86:
Here. Only in aroma, if you want to select the "red1" you have to tap "green1" and so on. Like I said, the layout is in landscape but the digitizer thinks it is in portrait. It was the same with two zips I tried, the sweetener pack from this thread, and some aroma gapps installer.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
Awesome port

Any plans for another build? :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dcahoe:
Does this ROM disable root access? It seems to have done so for me.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
It can be toggled via Developer Settings. (tap build number 7 times in Settings -> About tablet to unlock dev settings)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] BuQQzz:
Yep soon, a bit busy with the 7" I can probably also build some personal cm12.1 builds in The meantime until hashcode updates, so you guys can test it out for yourselves ?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] BuQQzz:
BTW can anyone tell me if twrp is in landscape or portrait?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dommerick:
TWRP is in landscape mode.

I really like this ROM. My only minor annoyance is that it lacks a boot animation.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Broncos15:
memory leak or problem with memory management?

ROM was running great, until the other day the kindle app started randomly crashing everything. The ram seems to be filling up with cached app processes which don't get cleared out, now its trying to tell me I have negative free ram??? Just wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar.

On another note, I would be happy to test any cm12 builds you have, its great that people still have time to support this device with new Roms.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dcahoe:
I had root enabled before flashing this ROM. I was basing my issue of no root off of titanium backup, it says my tablet is not rooted with this ROM. I have verified with su and rootchecker that it is rooted though.

No you don't have to. It changes only visual things like navigation bar icons etc.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arctophile:
So great to have a new ROM thank you OP!

I decided to update from Hashcode's CM12, and I wanted to start fresh with F2FS and TWRP 2.8.3.0. Everything seemed to go fine with the flash after that (incl. Banks gapps) but after the blue Kinde Fire logo all I get now is a blank screen. I realise the first boot is supposed to take a while, but it was blank for about 10 mins, so I turned off and tried again. Same result. Thought maybe bad flash despite TWRP reporting success, so I reflashed (just the ROM this time). Nothing but blank screen again. Did I overlook something?

EDIT: Converted /data back from F2FS to ext4, now it boots. Wrongly assumed it was based on Hashcode's CM12, complete with F2FS support I guess. Unfortunately, I can't get past the 'checking connection' setup wizard screen. My wifi is working fine on other devices, and tethering to my phone doesn't help. Seems like Candy5 users on eg the Gpad v410 had same problem and it turned out data was borked, but it's working for everyone else here, maybe I have a different issue.

EDIT 2: PA Gapps allowed me to skip wifi setup, but still crashes on name screen and won't let me get go any further. This is turning into a frustrating day!
