Well said.. hhahaha! but what if the spouse gets the tytn =) It should go down in price come November on my annual trip to London. Time to ring them familiar numbers again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Yes but these days, it depends on how each manufacturer's chipset handles code. If the Qualcomm chip has a different reduced instruction set as opposed to the Samsung, it might actually turn out to be more efficient or on a level pegging when put up against the Sammy CPU.

I know they're both ARM, but one manufacturer's chipsets are never the same as the other's... It could be that more of the processing of things like HSDPA 3G decoding, sound synthesis etc, are actually hardware-accelerated to a greater degree - so the CPU in the end has more free clock cycles to perform other duties.

Integrated GPS? HSUPA? WM6? Tilting slider display? Shiny paint job? Better storage? When T-Mobile start selling these for the same price they sold me my Vario 2 (£80, minus £15 instead of getting the first 3 months' web 'n walk free so in the end £65)... Hell, I'll go for that!

I was amazed when I got my Vario 2 from T-Mobile, given that it was a brand new model when I subscribed, and my XDA 2i from O2 cost £100 on a 12-month £30 contract (I pay just £20 a month for Flext 25 on an 18-month contract plus the £7.50 WnW, but it still works out at only a tiny bit more expensive for a much better phone)... I think T-Mobile will come proper with the goods again when the Kaiser comes out. There's no way they can't not sell the Kaiser!

Mike, I'm a lucky guy. When I was in the store getting my TyTN my wife would have punched me if I didn't get two of them.

The same will happen with the Kaiser when my dealer has them. She's already looking forward to the "upgrade" :D

You forget that the MSM7200 PROCESSOR IN THE KAISER IS DUAL CORE. One core handles the radio/phone operations and the second handles your applications as opposed to one slightly faster core handling it all ;)

I have a Kaiser and previously owned the hermes. Night and day difference in speed my friend :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mrjasjam:
I bought a Kaiser and found its performance very dissapointing. It was very slow and the keyboard keys difficult to press (kind of sticky). I can type things much faster and much easier on the Hermes. After 3 faulty units (resetting themselves randomly) I was fortunate enough to get my money back and have stuck with the superior Hermes since. What I also found annoying being a right handed person was how the keyboard on the Kaiser opens the opposite way meaning you would need to get the stylus with your left hand and also use left hand to operate the front buttons. The Raphael may see me part with some cash when it comes to market shortly. It looks fantastic and on paper has an impressive spec so hopefully the extra processing power and memory amount to better performance....we shall see.

Don't know if it can be useful, but tried a couple of things with this recovery.

Wipe function is currently working (done factory reset twice).

Backup is working.

Having some issues with Restore function, even downgrading to the v.2.8.5.0: it worked only twice against about 10 attempts.

No sideload, but I'm sure you already know it.

I'm on a ze550ml.

Take it as a feedback, hope it helps!

Yeah, restoring a backup takes a huge while...my restores take about 250-300 seconds (almost 5 minutes :( ), but as we are talking about a volume of +2GB I think it is okay.

hi [MENTION=2388665]TheSSJ[/MENTION]

I have two questions for you

how come twrp is working for ZE550ML in ur boardconfig u have set DEVICE_RESOLUTION := 1080x1920 and 550 is hd not fhd? :eek:

And also u r compiling kernel for ZE551ML with the recovery & its working on 550 am i missing something or 551 kernel works with 550 ? :eek:

Thanx
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSSJ:
Hi,

well, I checked the screen resolutions and indeed the devices differ from each other. Don't know, though :)

Are the buttons looking normal or a bit stretched or so? this would imply that the configured resolution is indeed not suitable for ze550ml.

As for the Kernel - most of the HW is just the same

and

the kernel has all the needed drivers to support both models ;) if you check /cache/recovery/last_log and see the first few lines regarding framebuffer and resolution you can see if it re-sets the resolution according to your device or if it just forces 1080x1920
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakub234go:
I have not yet unlocked the bootloader so i can't test it, But i will be unlocking it soon

I am also planning to build cwm recovery from ur source(i am new to this)

abt the harware diff i thing apart from cpu clock speed & resolution the 551 also has nfc support(not sure)

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSSJ:
Even if some internal things would be different (like a different RAM manufacturer, flash chips differences etc.) - the kernel holds every driver to handle them properly.

Good luck in building CWM! Will be lots of fun (with just *a little* despair :D)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugoprh:
Hi All, TWRP looks fine to me on ZE550ML, the first flashable version posted here (2.8.6.0 I think?) had the log text a bit big, but the release made on the 23-06-2015, seems to have fix that and all text and icons look normal to me. I've installed yesterdays release and still looks fine.

See attached pic.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSSJ:
Well, then maybe it is possible to run the phone even on FHD and Asus restricted it only on software side to support HD, who knows :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugoprh:
So I tried running "adb shell wm size 1080x1920" and found a few issues, the boot screen after a few seconds shrinks to the top left side, starts normal, but then this happens and the biggest issue was with the capacitive buttons, they just stop responding, "back" "home" "recent" all dead =( but UI was fine, Antutu was showing the res of 1080x1920.

Now the question is, was it really 1080x1920 or just emulated? how can I find out? If it's really a FHD panel, then just need on-screen buttons and we are good to go at FHD =P

Let me know if there is a way to check if the it's a real FHD panel or not.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSSJ:
Interesting indeed - do the capacitive buttons work in TWRP on your 550ML? if yes, then it should be fixable to get the capacitive buttons working again. Unfortunately I am not so deep in the topic to find out the exact panel model. IF there is such a tool or information, we could compare 550 and 551 to see if the panels differ or not

Maybe I am wrong here, but I am strongly thinking that a ZE551ML ROM flashed on a 550 would work
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugoprh:
Just checked and on TWRP, only the back button works, installed some hardware info apps, but not enough details to see the type of panel =(

But yeah, count me in to test the first custom ROM build for 551, to see if it will work on my 550. =)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugoprh:
So I tried installing the Z551 ROM from here http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/rom-2-19-40-18-rom-ze551-goodbye-t3144291 and it did not work, the device did not boot, even tried to restore the boot.img from the backup I had before, but still nothing =( now I have the fastboot from Z551, lol, i'll keep it for the timing being. Guess the hardware IS different after all.

Need help - stuck on ASUS screen loading

Hi guys

I am having some issues after doing the Tethered Recovery. I am rooted and have bootloader unlocked. Once I used cai_dat_CWM.bat and was in recovery, I tried to flash the clean rom HarfainX, but before I did, I did a wipe of Cache and it said formatting cache but after 10 minutes didnt load. So I turned off the phone, now it hangs on the ASUS screen. I can enter fast boot, but I cant enter recovery mode.

Can anyone help me in getting it back running again?

Thanks

Otherwise you can reflash twrp using the phone:

Install any terminal emulator app

Start it and type:
