My Bluetooth won't turn on.

Originally did a dirty flash from R19 to R20...

No I've done a clean install and the problem is still there.

Any ideas?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] corrsea:
Has anybody with the camera or connection issues tried flashing r19 or using their backup to see if it fixes the problems?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jba.33a:
Yeap, bluetooth also won't turn on....

Edit: Dirty flash back to r19.

Now, on r19 -

Camera works.

Phone not recognized cy computer.

Bluetooth won't turn
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Question did you make a nandroid of r19 before flashing? If so try restoring just the boot partition
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jaganathsamal:
Camera doesn't work for me even after clean flash. Neither does bluetooth or ADB.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Oh man, I'm going to need to do some fixes it seems.

I did have PC connectivity / adb issues, but all it took was updating adb through Android SDK.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] DimeShake:
The external SD seems not to be writable on this new build, either.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BXWolf92:
Seems this build has more bugs than fixes? Maybe the current build should be pulled until fixes can be applied.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
Already restored full backup mate
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
if you aren't going to help or fix the issues, yet keep complaining about needing the update. please stop using this rom. I've been at work keeping an eye on this thread and have no access to my PC and harfainx has been busy offline. We are aware of the issues and are working to correct them in the mean time please stop providing advice we didn't ask for, we are both rather seasoned at handling things like this. So please, either help fix it or flash something else.

Also i apologize if my anger is misguided on this it was just the straw that broke the camels back, this is more so directed at everyone in here, I'm tired of looking in here and seeing complaints about the new update when we make it really clear we have lives outside of here. To a point where mods have cleaned it up multiple times.

Also next time just request we put the old link back up, the first comment wasn't needed.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Williz:
I'm not having any issues but power saver under power management doesn't work and just crashes but it did this in the last build also.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Can somebody flash the ROM, and restore the boot partition from r19 and tell us if it corrects the issue (and or if you flash a custom kernel let us know if the issue persists)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
I think something didn't upload correctly honestly. I just looked through everything on my phone. I have literally none of these issues locally.

I'll get a build uploaded elsewhere and get it over to [MENTION=1373751]thoughtlesskyle[/MENTION] to check it out.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] yvessparks:
You know...we could do without you on this thread. If you have something to really add, please...help. If all you do is whine about wanting an update, then complain about it not working properly...you have maybe made the wrong decision.

Reinstall stock, update from Asus officially, and don't try anything...unless you are willing to contribute.

No one needs 'this is bringing more bad things than good things' comments....specially not the people who are spending personal time on giving you something for FREE.

Yves out. Now go suck a lemon.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BXWolf92:
Actually, if you go back and look at my posts, I've been trying to help people with little issues, and I simply suggested that this update be pulled so no more people have issues while the OP fixes the current build. And I havent been asking for the updates... Before you assume I'm the problem, go back and read the posts.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
You guys have nothing to apologize for mate

And the majority of us are grateful for what we have
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] yvessparks:
I'm sorry...but saying something has more bugs than it solves, is not a suggestion...but ok....

Hey Harfainx, this rom made my HTC M9 explode.... What the hell!? :eek:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
#ThanksObama
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Ok, clean flashed and I'm seeing these now. Dirty flashing didn't cause any issues. Makes me think some libraries didn't get copied over when I merged my edits into my build.

Probably because I've done this work across three computers now. I imagine that this is entirely my fault. :(

Compiling a list of problems so I can get it fixed within the next few hours.

* Camera

* Bluetooth

* Not showing up on PC

Anything else?

===============================================

^ Verified issue

^ No idea. Google Sheets doesn't come on the rom. Screenshot?

External sdcard writability? Anyone else seeing permission denied errors for that on R20
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Fozbot:
Yes. I have this issue after dirty flash from r19 to r20.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
That should be fixed. I'll double check to make sure I added it into this build.

Fixed. I forgot a quote.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Uploading R20.v2 right now.

Fixed all the issues. It was my fault. Sorry folks, I forgot a quote. fml :mad:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
R20 v2 is live in the second post. Go get it!

It works this time, I promise. :fingers-crossed:

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jba.33a:
dirty flash to r20v2.

Camera works.

issues:

* Bluetooth does not work.

* PC connection does not work

Can somebody advise if clean install (deleting /data) resolves the issue?

TO OP: MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT SO FAR, WE ALL APPRECIATE YOUR WORK IN MAKING OUR DEVICE MUCH BETTER. :good:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] corrsea:
Dirty flash R20 v2 over R19.

Everything working. Camera, Bluetooth, PC connection all good.

(-:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] doonyuen:
Yes

I did restore back to my R19 and flash V2 again its works
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MironV:
You basically flashed the R19 and then the R20 v2 on top (without exiting the twrp - so without booting once the R19)..am I right? Thx
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] doonyuen:
not really, i did a complete backup before i go to R20, so i did a RESTORE to R19. I am not sure will it be a different between a restore to r19 and a flash back to r19.

After i restore to R19, it need a reboot. so i go back to R19 and then flash V2.

All things fine now
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MironV:
Ehem. Thanks.

I'll flash 20v2 over 20v1 to see how it works. So nice that I didn't make a backup before :P
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] JoCald:
Flashing 20v2 over 20v1 fixes the camera, but not bluetooth or the PC connection. Flashing 19 and then 20v2 doesn't work either :(

EDIT: All the above were dirty flashes
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MironV:
I understand. I'll wait a little. Maybe a v3 will be posted soon. Awesome work!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Fozbot:
I can confirm the same issues and resolutions. Flashed back to r19 from r20. Then flashed to r20v2. Camera works. SD card works. PC connection fails. Bluetooth fails.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jeffrey roy:
i dont think there's a V3 bro,, i just dirty flash R20 V2 over R19..and everythings fine...flash V2 now everything is fix!!!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] justdrew:
Flashed back to r19 let it boot theb flased v2 bluetooth and pc broken
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
I didn't flash back from 20 to 19.

I didn't flash 20 to 20 v2.

I restored 19 and flashed 20 v2. Everything worked.

I clean flashed 20 v2 and everything worked.

I'll look into it and try to figure out why it isn't working right for some people. Seems like it isn't overwriting something from 20 to v2. Maybe?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] justdrew:
If I flash back to r19 without wiping Bluetooth doesn't work on r19 either
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] larkleuman:
Thank you for all your work. :)

Same issues (Bluetooth doesn't turn on, PC detection failure though camera is okay) with me when I dirty flashed from 19 to 20v2.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] JoCald:
I confirm that dirty flashing from 20 to 19, the problem persist. So v2 and 19 doesn't overwrite whatever is causing the issue.

I'll refrain from doing a clean install for the moment if you need any tests done in the future.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] yvessparks:
Workaround: clean install R20v2 :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Zetsubou Sensei:
Everything works perfectly on R20v2, thanks for your hard work devs!

Installed after full wipe. Currently running Project T v84, with Xposed and LSpeed. Camera, bluetooth and and MTP connection on pc running.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jschurawlow:
+1 did the restore back to 19 and installed 20v2 from there and worked smooth as butter for me as well. adb working fine and looks like bluetooth etc all working as intended - only thing I didn't test yet is the camera but I'm presuming it is fine as well. Harfainx thank you very much for the amount of work being done on this and how quickly you patched/fixed to get v2 out :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] grafikal:
Let this be a quick life lesson to me to do regular backups before upgrading. :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MironV:
Did you manage to solve the issue?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] grafikal:
I believe the only way to solve the issue right now is a clean flash. I'm still hoping that Harfainx is able to solve the issue without the need to blow everything away. I'll be forced the do that the first time I"ll need bluetooth. I'm able to copy files from the computer when I boot into recovery so the phone is mostly functional.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
If I can figure out where in /data or wherever it writes to for the changes, I should be able to fix the issue for people that don't have an R19 backup without requiring a clean flash.

Just need time to look. Dealing with family stuff this weekend. One of my in-laws is getting married, which is why I've been traveling and using different computers for this update.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lollyjay:
Flashed 20v2 over 19; cleared cache/dalvic; everything works. Thanks [MENTION=2491106]Harfainx[/MENTION]
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kenzhin:
After that being said. Im on r19, so ill wait a stable one that doesn't need to wipe everything. I always do dirty flash not unless from changing to other rom types. Since there are problem dirty flashing fron r19 to 20v2, then il wait. Thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] grafikal:
From my understanding, if you did not upgrade to the original r20 you should be ok to dirty flash to r20v2. It's only people who upgraded to r20 that are experiencing problems.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Wilkij:
I too have a working ROM going from R19 to R20v2 with just a wipe of cache and dalvic prior to flash. I also flashed SU and FMradio at same time with no problems.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
If you didn't flash to the original r20, you're safe to flash from r19 to r20 v2.

You won't experience any problems between those two. The issues only exist if you flashed to r20 (non v2).
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jeffrey roy:
Yup ur right!! as for me, i did upgrade to R20, but some issue occur so i restore back to R19 waited for R20 V2 and dirty flash it and then boom.. all went well..i guess they did not make a back up of their R19 so instead of restoring back R19, they flash R20 V2 over R20 which has some issue's on bluetooth,pc connection, and camera.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] NoobNeutralizer:
I did the same and everything's fine here as well...
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MironV:
A little bit offtopic, but I have this issue for some time. Did anyone experience boot stucks after installing the Project T kernel? (even though.. it once happened on the stock kernel found in this ROM, as well...but just once). Sometimes while booting, the boot animation keeps going on and on without entering the system..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cristiiaan:
[MENTION=2491106]Harfainx[/MENTION], thank you very much for your work. I confirm that everything works well.

I just wiped Dalvik and Cache, and flashed r20 v2 over r19.

For now, i see a major improvement in battery life.

Again, thank you very much!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jaganathsamal:
R20 v2 works perfectly over R19. :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Thank You, everything working fine for me.

Great theme in the new 40.90 update. It's in /system/priv-app/AsusSpeedTheme

How to install

Hello, sorry my bad english

I have a Zenfone 2 ZE551ML with 32gb storage buy on april 2015

Everything is original, I never change anything

How can I install this rom ?

With original Asus recovery or another ?

Where can I find a good recovery ?

Is it possible to have a complete howto with all links needed for newbies ;)

Sorry before Asus I was since 7 years on Samsung phones

Thank you very much
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ione2380:
You have to unlock your bootloader and flash twrp recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] wifestealer:
No need to say sorry, we all were noobs once or still ;)

well first of all you've to unlock the bootloader and then you've to put custom recovery. There are 2 recoveries mainly, 1. twrp

2. CWM

mostly people use twrp, so you've to flash twrp in order to flash any custom rom or .zip file

then you can root your phone or you could do it before that doesn't matter. I owned Motorola Moto g 2014 before asus and before moto, I had samsung laggy UI stock rom no offense :silly:

Hi,

there is the possibiity to add in the future the F2FS compatibility?

thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
I don't play much on mine, but I haven't noticed any difference. I don't think I'm doing anything that is taxing the SoC though. Definitely worth looking into.

Doubtful. Unless there's a real strong reason. I don't really know that enough tests have been done or shown t really make it worth jumping on.

Might be worth a shot though if people want to try it out. I could probably make a test build (or at least try). I'm not too certain of the specifics on it for changing over.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mrfaggio:
I think, as for PCs, the weak point of smartfone is the speed of the mass storage (HDD/Pc or ROM/Smartp).

I read that f2fs is (at east) 3 times faster than ext3/4 on SDD, then SSD fastest equal zen fastest.

But for me, the Zen 551ml (thanks to its 4 GB of RAM) has no performance problems.

So if you want to give an eye and try to implement, it will certainly give a boost to the Zen, otherwise, I think, we can live very well without the same. :)

Besides, you're already doing a great job.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] acbc2k:
Took a while to wipe Dalvik, Cache, System and Data on my ZE551ML. Crossing both fingers and hope can flash this ROM.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] meatlocker:
3 gb?

I thought that someone had asked this previously, but is there a reason that the 'about' details only show 3gb of RAM for my 4 gb Zen?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Doadi:
Take care to wipe system(OS) and data(all internall storage)... I consider just wipe system if you are in twrp And have a Zip of your ROM instaler... Not do wipe data if you don know odb and Linux commands, apps, knowledgement

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] EViollet:
For those who have 3Gigabytes displayed, have your flashed another kernel? If I recall correctly the problem is a display problem that comes from the kernel, not from the ROM itself.

See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62828627&postcount=1016
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lollyjay:
Yes I have Project T kernel.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dimitrakhs1:
Will you make an OTA?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
Yeah, unfortunately I can't tell at the moment which modification is responsible for the 4G -> 3G info screen. Fact is, that the phone uses 4GB (fortunately), I am checking the code though where the system gets the RAM info

So the phone is using the whole 4GB, it's just a displaying problem
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] breakolami:
Thank you, I will try this week-end

When I was with Samsung phones I use philz kernel is there similar for Asus ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Zetsubou Sensei:
Just saw the question and answer threads. Moved.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] wifestealer:
there are some kernels but I haven't tried em yet. I rooted my phone yesterday and unlocked bootloader. I dont know when I'll put twrp but I've already uninstalled 40 apps of asus :D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] eljefe0000:
aside from the bloatware once you get rid of them its a great phone im surprised there isnt more development for it
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jschurawlow:
+1 especially with being able to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp on it. It's definitely decent enough battery life wise too once you put SuperZen + Project T on it. Mine can easily go the whole day with modest/moderate use.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] eljefe0000:
Battery is great went to work with the like 75 percent and lasted well beyond the day and then some
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Zetsubou Sensei:
Totally agree, flashing SuperZen made this phone feel better than brand new. This ROM is the reason I recommend this phone!

video playback

hi all

do anyone of you get problems of video play back?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Zetsubou Sensei:
I do have a similar issue with YouTube where .y video will not load while on WiFi and I will have to turn off and on WiFi on the phone to get the video to load up.

Sorry for the delayed post, I've been having this issue for a few weeks but it totally slipped my mind to report it.

I am running the Project T kernel but I think I was having the same issue on stock, anyone else encounter this?

I have this issue on serveral WiFi networks.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Thanks for the compliments folks.

We really just did this because we didn't want the bloat lol. It kind of blew up when we released it (since it was the first ROM released for the ZF2). I really just wanted to make it a better experience. Then it kind of evolved from there. I have intentionally not changed too much though. I didn't want to remove that ZenUI feel on the device.

Fortunately these days we don't need to do as much to make the phones great. Back in the day, you had to make a ton of changes just to make it usable, but now they're pretty solid out of the box.

I'm really not surprised that it hasn't become too popular. People aren't really familiar with Asus phones, and they're all scared of the Intel SoC. The fools don't realize just how good it is :p

I have personally been pushing this phone on people that are interested in a solid phone that doesn't cost $500+. I won't say what phones I've steered people away from... Wouldn't want to start a war here lol. ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
I don't usually update with the OTA. I wait for the full ROM to release and take the whole thing.

I release the full build zip, plus you can get the newest on SVN (normally). I actually haven't updated SVN though. Since the r20 debacle, I didn't want to push the broken stuff to SVN. Now that everything is back to working though, I really should update that.

Then when build updates come out, you can just update SVN and build yourself if you don't want to have to download the full ROM each time. You'll only have to sync the changes that were made on SVN.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jschurawlow:
Exactly. I remember the HTC Apache and the ROM kitchens on that sucker... and that was a windows ce/mobile phone lol.... oh the memories of tweaking the heck outta it. Granted smartphones have come a LONG way since those days (I think I still have that paperweight laying around collecting dust, probably with my old clamshell/flip phones)... LOL
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] grafikal:
I think he's asking if you guys will introduce OTA updates for this ROM (in addition to SVN). I could be wrong of course. I personally think that would be a great feature and would greately enhance this already awesome ROM. :good:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Realistically, I could put together OTA updates. They probably wouldn't be pushed to the phone, but I could setup ROMdB or something similar and have notifications pushed out when an update is available.

I'll look into some options and try to figure something out.
