Thank you very much
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Thank you for helping with development on this, no but really please keep posts like this out of the dev thread

Are you using a 3rd party SMS app? You should check in the Asus Auto-Start Manager to see if your SMS app is allowed to run in the background. You can find it under Power Managment in settings.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] eljefe0000:
Dont know if previously mentioned but in settings clicking on ASUS cover crashes the settings app aside from this battery is great
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
To stop it crashing you have to install the app mate
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BXWolf92:
There is a link in the second post for the cover app if you want to install it again. Otherwise it crashes because the app can't launch since its not there. This is intentionally done.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gaetanolip:
Also to inform that there is another stock rom update..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] blazinandroid1:
Great rom. But boot screen is not my favorite. Give full results later.

We really don't need full reviews of the rom, esp in the development thread.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Uninstall from the play store, reflash the rom in recovery. Should fix it
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gaetanolip:
Thanks I dirty flashed and solved ok google feature.but still missing microphone on keyboard.May I flash keyboard APK if someone upload it here? Or the issue is language voice related?

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] yvessparks:
Mate, come on. You do understand we need more info? Which type of the zf2 you have, which version did you install? Did you try a clean flash?

We do actually need some information to help....weird huh?

A log file would be nice.....
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] blazinandroid1:
I have a zip he can flash. It will fix his Google problems.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] bleedingblue:
Sorry. Zf2 551, flashed the latest version of SuperZen. I ended up with all kinds of problems. In addition to the Google problems, I had a problem in which the phone would only connect to the network (tmobile usa) on 2g. Fortunately, I had a nandroid backup from before I flashed the latest version. I reverted to my backup, and then dirty flashed the latest version. Everything seems to be fine again.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] blazinandroid1:

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] AgentBEATS:
Just flashed this and so far so good. Have a weird interaction with an app though, I use Transit to follow bus times and for whatever reason the widget doesn't load on this rom. It just keeps searching, and even the actual app takes a bit to load. Is there some setting I'm missing with the location settings?

Facing same issue after update to .97
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Jonog:
Hi there.

I was on an alomost original stock rom.

I had to unlock my boot loader and I needed to install a rom that that 1 click bootloader unlocker would work with.

I didnt know how to wipe with fastboot so I downloaded a rom "system_2.14.40.19" as it was the only one I could find with a system.img as I dont know how to to it from a zip through fastboot.

Flashed system.img with fastboot.

That appeared to go ok. I then used the 1 click bootloader unlocker. That appeared to go ok too.

Installed TWRP with fastboot that went ok too.

Then I did a wipe with TWRP but it kept all my data?

I then installed superZen and the phone appears to be a million times better!! Yahoo :) Have I done everything right?

I was thinking of flashing the project T kernel now, will it make much difference? Thank you so much. My battery actually lasts over a day now!!

EDIT - Project T was causing it to turn off.

Anyway to get rid of the boot up animation? Thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dimitrakhs1:
Bluetooth is not working properly.It can be paired,but it won't send/receive objects
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] blazinandroid1:
Have you try to restart the phone
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kriegschluesser:
Any possibilites to disable "double tap to wake" features? Its very annoying when i put my phone inside my pocket :(:(:(
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lollyjay:
Well how about that I learned something new. I thought this feature was only on the project T kernel
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BXWolf92:
In your settings, select Zen Motion, then select Touch Gesture (not the toggle, but the text), and you should see all the toggles for when the phone is off.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kriegschluesser:
How can i missed that?! Thank you so much [MENTION=4157193]BXWolf92[/MENTION]
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dimitrakhs1:
Yes,for other reason,but still...
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] AgentBEATS:
Really enjoying this ROM, my standby battery life has improved so much and it's nice not having so much clutter. I haven't heard from anyone about my previous problem, but it seems to extend to a lot of widgets that they won't load or update. Anyone else have any problems with widgets?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fr4nkr0c:
[MENTION=2922008]AgentBEATS[/MENTION]

if you have problems with widgets, which are recharged automatically, controls auto-start manager if your launcher or widget is set to ALLOW.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] blazinandroid1:
Just my 2 cents. This by far the most stable rom for this phone. Thanks man..

Flaws that I have found so far.

--Bluetooth disconnect alot out of the blues.

--Dialer is very sluggish. Which I just wipe the cache. Then it's fine.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] metty2k13:
am i doing something wrong becuase gapps always crashes and never loads up google play store? please help i flashed latest gapps along with your rom ive tried 3x differant x86 gapps same thing many crashes i want to go back to stock but with all bloat removed thats why i looked at this rom for just that thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
Why are you flashing gapps?

They are included in this rom mate
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] metty2k13:
yeah i realized that now couldnt find it in the features just that it was pre rooted so i thought it was like every other rom flash your own gapps thanks for quick reply though lol stupid on my part mostly assuming needing gapps straight away
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
You're welcome mate

We all have moments like that ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Caebron:
Alright, I've been using this phone stock for about two weeks now and I am seeing more and more of the 'quirks' people are talking about. Most of it is nothing too major, but I can see how it might get a tad frustrating after a while. Hopefully these bugs are more of a software issue than hardware, and that a different ROM will resolve these issues.

Starting out with Super Zen as this seems to be the most popular ROM for this phone atm.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Mae7:
Flash it, you won't regret it.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Vrykyl:
Have had to temporarily abandon this rom and return to a stock rom (rooted and debloated manually), as for some reason I cant get ANY apk files or Titanium backups to install with this rom installed - I always get a 'problem parsing package' error.

Flashing a stock rom and everything installs perfectly - flash SuperZen and issues immediately return? Using the same backup files etc each time - so they're definitely NOT corrupted - even trying 'app only' restore from Tb fails.

This is after doing a complete wipe of system, data etc via TWRP, then doing a completely 100% fresh install of Zen - any ideas?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lollyjay:
Did you ckeck md5? Sounds like c/b corrupted download of ROM.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Caebron:
It seems installing this ROM removed Root access. Do I need to re-root after installing this?

NVM. Looks I only needed to start up Super SU.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Caebron:
Seems stable so far, been running this ROM for a few days now.

Dumb question, other than a lot of stuff having been removed, what makes this ROM different from the stock ROM? I can't really tell.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lollyjay:
Explained in post #1.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Caebron:
Uh, no. Not really. Except that a "bunch of stuff was removed".

But I suppose that does answer my question. It is basically the stock ROM with "a bunch of stuff removed".
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lollyjay:
Seems pretty clear to me. It details all of the things that have been removed and any changes that were made;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] crisgq27:
Anyone else having the issue of everytime you turn the phone saying Asus cover stoppped? wont let me use the cover for my phone.. only happened since i installed this rom
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
You need to flash the Asus cover app from Post 2 mate
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] insanespain:
Okay, I hate to post this here but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I just got a 551, and it's running 2.20.40.97. I want to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP but haven't seen if I can do that with my current stock rom. I'm begging to get this superzen rom installed, the bloatware on this thing is freaking ridiculous.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] abner albuquerque:
It is compatible with Project T kernel?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] allasca:
Yes
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] maxpower1985:
I just upgrade from V19.. Wipe Cache + Dalvik

I got the notification for the asus update.. How can I get rid of this ? It's seem to be impossible to remove it..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mbolinao:
ROM is good, but something annoying keeps happening. I have the latest version installed, and I'm using only one SIM (installed in SIM slot 1). The status bar above keeps flashing the 2nd SIM icon having no signal. It flashes for a split second only, but it keeps doing that like every 10secs or so. It's annoying because I can see the other icons on the status bar moving to the left in a flash too, because it gives room to that flashing 2nd SIM icon.

I was hoping the 2nd SIM icon should not be visible continuously when no SIM is inserted. But with the annoying flashing that's going on, I would rather have it visible all the time.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BXWolf92:
I haven't seen this on my device. Try checking your settings for the SIM and see if it shows SIM2 as active. Also, physically check the slot and see if anything might be making contact. If its not either of those two, it may have to do something with the way you went about flashing it?

For example: I did a full wipe into this ROM. Was yours a full wipe too? And if so, could you try downloading the latest version and flashing on this one to see if it fixes your issue?

Hopefully this helps. Otherwise maybe someone could help you further, as my knowledge is more limited.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mbolinao:
thanks for the feedback.

Ive checked sim 2 and it says not active. nothing making contact on the slot too from the inside, all clean.

yup i did a full wipe, a clean one before installing. did a few restarts as well but same thing.

Im using the latest version of the ROM. i dont know why it's happening. it wasnt doing it with the older version.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BipolarMike:
Harfainx, do you plan on keeping this ROM updated to close to the current stock updates for the foreseeable future? This looks like exactly what I've wanted for this phone, but I would like to stay close to the current stock update :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
I kind of skipped .97, but I just saw something about a new build (.127 I think?). I'll be updating to that Sunday night if the full ROM is available.

I'm out of town this weekend on a mini family vacation. We're killing some time in Chicago.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] yvessparks:
Man, if that's just 'killing time'....I'm a jealous man ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] doonyuen:
i am uing this rom from v19 with zenfone 2

i am now buying a new one for my company. will this rom work for the new zenfone 2 (the one call zenfone 2 Deluxe) ? the model of zenfone 2 deluxe is also 551....
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] vipercoyote:
I really want to flash this. Are there any known bugs to know of before I do so and how do you guys take updates?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Zetsubou Sensei:
Flash it dude. Excellent ROM.

There are battery draining bugs but they are the same as on the stock ROM. I run this with Project T kernel and L Speed mod 3.2 and its beautiful

This is an excellent ROM and is it is really responsive. I used TWRP to flash the ROM and I do NOT recommend using the stock Asus bootloader unlock method as on my second phone it now is stuck rebooting after 5 seconds when in bootloader. Google "Zenfone 2 unofficial bootloader unlock" and then root your phone. Directions should be in the OP after that.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cnsngr:
I flashed this Rom and I love it so far did u modified the stock kernel or? Also I hope to see more of your work keep up the good work op
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Pretty sure the only differences are the back design (back cover is changeable anyway), and the storage. I think deluxe has 64GB/128GB. ROM should work on it without any issues. Unless I'm forgetting something different.

No introduced bugs. Same issues as the stock ROM. Since this is mostly stock, I tried my best to not introduce new bugs.

Asus updater is removed (since it would fail to flash in TWPR anyway), and I update by pulling down the full ROM release from the Asus site and merging changes in. It isn't based on the OTA, which is what a few others do (just a personal choice for the ROM). I just prefer to do it this way, since it guarantees a complete new base on each release. Other than that, updates are really only done as necessary. I didn't want to add too much in, so there isn't much reason to update outside of Asus build updates.

Of course if we change things, we update new builds as we go.

Nothing major. Just insecure and enabling adb by default.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Amstro:
Does the stock Backup app work on this ROM?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mbolinao:
anyone else having a display issue with this rom? I noticed that when I unlock the phone from sleep, the colors on the screen are too washed out and they slowly regain color back. I am sure it's not the backlight, but the color itself. I can reproduce the issue (for example, with FB app open since its blue/gray/white colors are perfect as test screen) when I lock and unclock the phone repeatedly (in succession) and the issue becomes more noticeable. Note that the Splendid app is all in default settings and using Balanced mode. But Im still suspecting that Splendid has something to do with it?

This problem is not present on another custom rom that im also using (AOSP-base) as i try to reproduce it and/or use it normally, display works fine.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BipolarMike:
Just did a quick test backing up, then uninstalling, then restoring an app. Worked great!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] doonyuen:
hi all

i am using 64g now, and going to upgrade to 128g

do anyone know, if i useTWRP to do full backup, possible to restore to the 128g ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Amstro:
Thanks!

Also, does this ROM has a built in spellchecker? Not like the stock ROM where the spellchecker is incorporated in the keyboard....
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kcokla:
Im on cyanogen mod and want to try this bevcause its just so unstable - how do i flash this on?

when i click the SuperZen lastest version theres a bunch of files in there -

normally with cyanogen there is just one and i use the twrp thing to load it up
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lollyjay:
At the top of the screen is a small down arrow. Tap on it to download the zip ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] xaospayne:
Worked for me ... !!! kudos .. ! and thanks for an awesome rom!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] A_Bunny:
Hello today I flashed this rom and everything works great except for double tap to wake / sleep which doesn't seem to be working.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

EDIT: got it working it was a setting that I didn't have checked.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
No idea, literally changed nothing regarding screen, brightness, or colors.

Thanks for testing that out. I thought it worked, but honestly couldn't remember. :good:

Should be fine. Might want to be careful about restoring app data, as going between devices can cause some weird things to happen.

Just whatever came in the ROM. I left the original keyboard in place, didn't add anything that would check spelling.

we call get caught by some random check box at some point. ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hshaikh:
Love this rom. Been using for a while. Just wanted to know why is there no updates for a while. There have been new otas for this phone. Are they not different than current version? Or is the developers waiting for 5.1 or 6
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Or we are busy with our offline lives and don't have time to update right now
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] yvessparks:
Welcome to yet another rant from me explaining how rude it is to ask for ota's. Actually I will leave it there, you know you've been rude.

Comming from 2.18 stock not rooted. Does that mean im bootloader locked.

Yes, it means you are locked. Update to 2.19. and unlock the bootloader

do you have to do a factory reset before flashing it?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
If you want a full, clean ROM... You'll need to wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik to make it completely free of the junk.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Status_Errorv1:
alright cool also I used method 3 for rooting do I have to unroot since im gonna be installing the 2.19 ota through recovery..cause i know its fine if i do the ota normally while rooted but not sure about flashing it while rooted.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Not really the right thread for this.

If you haven't unlocked yet, you'll need to focus your attention on getting your phone unlocked before flashing this.

just confirmed that you can update through adb while rooted works perfectly... now to unlock boot loader
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:

hopefully asus releases 5.1 to fix the Android OS/Wifi Battery drain bug... i know it has something to do with the kernel..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jpacleb85:
I could use some idea's of what I might be doing wrong.. firstly-

- My device is a 551

- My boot loader is unlocked

- I have thessj's latest twrp installed

- Using GG1.1.1

- Flashing without phone plugged in

The procedure I have tried twice now is going into twrp, doing an advanced wipe of dalvik, cache, data and system, then flashing the zip which does not produce any errors anywhere in the log, after flashing wiping dalvik and cache once more before rebooting. Upon rebooting nothing has changed and I am greeted with the stock bloated firmware :( what am I doing wrong?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hypergamer1231:
Is there a way to relock the bootloader to preserve warranty??

Love this Rom. Thank you to all concerned

I am having issue with notifications in that after the phone has gone to sleep I only receive one audio notification for any app. Thereafter there are only notifications by vibrate but no sound. I see that there have been some posts on the internet in this regard. Is there a solution for this?

Thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] playingmax:
i could be asking for a lil much but you think u could add blink feed to this rom?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
you are asking for way too much, though i think there is a flashable zip somewhere on XDA for blinkfeed, however no it won't be making it's way here
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] playingmax:
I seen the blinkfeed.apk but you also have to install the htc launcher. and I just want the blinkfeed no launcher.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Well then you have around a 0. 01% chance of that happening. A firm 0% for this rom

i did a clean install, wiping everything including system before install this.

I get random crashes on important apps such as contacts, dialer (when that crashes, you view you phone, there's no names, just numbers - this displays in the messaging app as well).. also, when I click on a telephone number in a text message or website I am always presented with which app I want to be the default app for the selection I made, I select phone and always use but it keeps coming up.

Anyone else running into this?
