[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainversion13:
I got this solved. It seems there is an error on the sim 2 tray.. The screen being unresponsive only happens if there's a text from sim 2 or a call from sim 2. Its not always happening but its really annoying if it happens since you have to wait for minutes in order for the screen to work again or you have to turn phone off. Now I only use sim 1 tray and never experienced the problem anymore.

This looks like a software bug as many users are complaining about this in asus zentalk forums.

Touch freezing while receiving call from sim2

during I receive calls on SIM 2, the touch screen becomes non responsive for some time. It recovers after sometime. already 4 update gone still ASUS team unable to solve this problem,I also email 2 times regarding this issue no response from ASUS,this is fundamental feature of phone ,ASUS team give first priority to solve this issue ASAP

Hello. I'm currently having the same problem with my zenfone 2, but I don't understand... how do you 'factory reset' the phone?

And is there any other way to fix this problem other than resetting the phone?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainversion13:
Read #6 post, even factory resetting could not solve the unresponsive touch screen issue. If you want no screen issues, dont use the sim 2. Try setting your mind that zenphone only uses 1 sim. Haha. Only use sim 1. You'll have no problem on unresponsive screen everytime there's a call or message coming from sim 2. Asus has yet to release a software fix for this as many are encountering this problem
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdf1412:
I hope Asus fixes this problem real soon.

So, so far there is really no way to fix this yet? Because anyway, I'm not even using sim 2. Now what do I do...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anilzenfone:
I am also facing screen freezing issue due to SIM2 in my Zenfone2. I did a factory reset and the problem still persists. Is it that the phone is not suitable for dual SIM. Either it unfreezes after a min or so I had to hard boot it since the restart option on touch screen is not working. Phone per say is never frozen except the screen.

Can anyone suggest a solution on this forum

Touch freez issue

accidentally my screen got cracked, so i replaced the display. Now no more touch freez...

I think its a hardware related issue....

This only happens to me with CM (12 and 13), not using SIM2 is not an option for me, so I'm stuck with stock rom.

I had this problem with the Asus Zenfone 2 View Flip cover. I removed the cover and the problem didn't repeat. So suspect something with the View Flip Cover app which causes the screen to freeze.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_softbank:
I'm having Ghost touch issues and screen becoming unresponsive before the ghost touches start to occur. I'm pretty sure that this is a hardware issue.. I've been able to fix the problem by turning off the phone and tossing it into the freezer for a few hours.

I'm going to re-flash stock rom and RMA and hope they actually fix the issue since it's intermittent. :(
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_softbank:
I returned the phone for RMA last Friday and got it it back today.

I gave a detailed description of the issue on the rma form and they replaced the screen and so far it looks good. (I can tell it was swapped since some cosmetic damage on the lcd plastic bezel is gone)

Guess I'll give it a few days of normal usage to be 100% certain,but so far I can notice some touch response is better than the old screen too.

On a custom recovery / unlocked bootloader note (unofficial method)

Fortunately flashing back to stock was good enough and they didn't just send the phone back as an excuse.

I'm actually super impressed with the Asus rma process, and reckon the bad digitizers are a widespread and known issue since they replaced the screen so quickly and without hassle.

I'll definitely keep Asus as my hardware provider when I upgrade to my next phone and tablet!

I am also facing the same problem from last two weeks after upgrading the phone to latest firmware update. I tried factory reset, cleared cache bit nothing worked. In case the screen is not responsive then I have to switch of the screen by physical button at top to unnlock sometimes I do this 2 or 3 times to get the phone working again.

And I am only using one SIM
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlzberg:
I've had this problem since buying the phone drives me mad, get a call can't answer the bloody thing surfing the web freezes so the other night it froze and instead of pressing the power button I removed the back cover and it unfroze and worked normally for a good while I noticed in the cover that there are two pieces of black rubber that sit above sim card two slot when the covers on I have pulled these out they are easy to stick back put the cover back on and no problems for over two days getting calls to both sims no freeze so far at all.

I'm not saying that this is a fix but I'm keeping my fingers crossed .
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redtexan:
Most likely the ribbon for the touch screen is loose inside the phone, dusassemble past the battery plate as you look at the front of the mother board after you take the battery plate off it will be the ribbon on the top left to the left of the back camera.... make sure it is fully inserted and not loose. Fyi there is no clamp for this cable

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limpinos:
Hi, I know that this is a bit old but I would like to share my discovery about this issue. I have ze551ml and I have this problem since I got the phone. The screen freeze only when receive something on sim 2 or when sim 2 lost the signal. When I take the back cover off there is no problem anymore. I check the screen ribon, took off the black rubbers, took off the NFC chip from the cover and nothing. With cover is freezing every time. Without cover is working perfectly every time. Any other suggestions?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlzberg:
Hi Limpinos... The problem returned to my phone and I got so fed up with it that I dismantled it down to the battery so I could check all the connectors and noticed one was not pressed down properly, after pressing the connector into place and putting the phone back together the problem seems to be solved .

I watched a youtube screen replacement video to know how to dismantle and have a screen shot of the connector I'll try and post, sorry can't post image but it's the connector just above the battery.

I hope this works for you.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaheerk:
I have the exact same problem so I tried to remove the cover and it behaves has you described, without cover works all the time, with cover if freezes every time when using Sim 2.

Hello,

I have been trying to play my computer audio' files with WMP over WIFI, and was successful doing it via a file explorer.

However, only 1 file can be thus played at a time, so it's be much better if I could access my LAN directly from WMP. Is that possible or do I need a3rd party player..?

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] sewb:
what do u mean "even the camera key works". thats not the same as drm keys i guess? do this work on LB, or do we need UB?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CedArctic:
[MENTION=5535517]sewb[/MENTION] XD no I didn't mean software DRM keys. I meant the actual camera button on the side of the Z3, you can use it to launch the camera app ;) Have a nice day man :D
[MENTION=4635148]th0ngpham[/MENTION] Thanks ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] sewb:
yeah thats what i thought. does that button not work on other roms?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CedArctic:
[MENTION=5535517]sewb[/MENTION] Oddly in other ROMs, that button only works to shoot photos within the camera app, in SlimLP the button works to launch the app, not shoot photos... weird stuff...

OK. Thanks. How does Dolby audio, viper and xposed work on this one? Anyone tried?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gregysk:

ive used this now since yesterday and it seems really nice. but its a couple of things i wonder. is it possible to get a option to only have battery in text and no icon in status bar? and also im mising doubletap setting in nav bar, can only get singel and long tap now?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CedArctic:
[MENTION=5535517]sewb[/MENTION] I think you can get these mods through third party solutions such as Xposed or the 3Minit Battery mod. As for the double tap, I think you can enable it with Kernel Tuner. This ROM is currently being developed by team Slim. I assume they will be added in the future...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] sewb:
ok. im gonna try xposed, but cant do that until monday. gonna try 3minit, thanks
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Miustone:
Looks great! Finally AOSP with Cam key :victory:

What about the other Features?

What is Layer 2.1, Chamber of secrets and Global Menu? :eek:

Will test later...:fingers-crossed: Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CedArctic:
[MENTION=5535517]sewb[/MENTION] No problem man ;)
[MENTION=4756773]Miustone[/MENTION] Hahaha OK, Layers 2.1 is an addition to the android framework like xposed but is integrated into the code. So you can install themes (like CyanogenMod) and other mods (you need the Layers Manager by Bitsyko first, search it on the Play Store) I suggest trying the Elixium UI Layer theme (check it out on Play Store). Chambers of secrets is a Harry Potter reference, that is how team Slim calls the developer options :P. As for Global Menu I have no idea XD. Have a nice day man ;)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] sgiannouris:
Is the fisheye camera bug still present? This is literally the only thing that keeps me stock and locked at the moment :(
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CedArctic:
[MENTION=3639654]sgiannouris[/MENTION] No the camera bug isn't present on SlimLP (and I think pretty much any AOSP ROM). (An exeis kanena problhma apla steile mhnuma ;) )
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Arju:
Wait what? So what you're saying is that aosp roms has fixed the fisheye problem. Do we finally have shinano drivers for our camera or are they still the same as xperia z1. So if you take a picture of something with a straight line like a TV, it does not get bended? This has been the only bug that has been kept me away from custom ROMs other than stock sony based.

Oh and does the camera key work to launch the camera app while the screen is off?

My last question, does auto brightness work? (it ha been a problem in cm12.1)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] asqwrd:
So fisheye bug is fixed for all aosp and is this the only aosp rom out for our phones

Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It has a fully touch driven user interface. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Installation/updating instructions and download links can be found on official device page. It is preferred to use official builds unless it is said otherwise in thread, so make sure you have read at least a couple of last pages.

My home builds can be downloaded here (link to the always latest build), it is useful when the latest official build is outdated and for testing new features. Site may sometimes be down due to maintenance.

And, as you remember, we are not responsible for bricked devices, accidental pregnancy or asteroid impact (BTW, this thread is created at Asteroid day).

Warning! Read attentively this post and F.A.Q. below and at least 5 pages of thread before installing this and posting here! Or Dark Lord will come to punish you and take your shallow soul! Also I kill innocent kittens every time when I see someone installs it via fastboot/flashtool. So save kittens and don't ignore provided info.

It uses the same FOTAKernel install method as recoveries in this thread, so you don't need to install it every time you change your ROM or kernel. Also it doesn't work on stock ROM, 'cause we don't have stock kernels supporting extract_elf_ramdisk utility.

To remove recovery from your FOTAKernel follow this (you will use recovery from your boot image after it).

Official TWRP website — here you can find more info about recovery itself, versions changelog, donation URL etc.

[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
F.A.Q. Must be read before installing and posting in the thread!

Q: Is it a kernel?

A: No, it isn't. It is a recovery image, but it is not booting independently, the kernel is using its ramdisk to load recovery. More... (extract_elf_ramdisk is deprecated in some ROMs and kernels, now its functions are implemented in init binary directly, read additional explanation from the next question if you are curious about how it works)

Q: Can I install it via Flashtool/fastboot?

A: No. For holy sake, don't do this! Here is explanation.

Q: Can I flash it with Rashr app?

A: Yes. But flash it as recovery, not as kernel! Read explanation above if you wonder why.

Q: Do I need to flash it every time I update my ROM?

A: No.

Q: Does it work with stock ROM?

A: No.

Q: TWRP says "Unmodified system partition" and asks to allow modifications or keep system read-only.

A: Tick "Never ask" and swipe. You can press "Keep read-only", but that really has no use on our device as we no more receive official OTA and ^look previous question^.

I still not understand with resize2fs ?

My question is how to resize my 1gb system to 700mb and move 300mb to /data?

Sent from my waifu
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
You are confusing it with repartitioning. Lollipop uses block-based OTA. Some of devices have versions with different storage capacity (e.g. 16 and 32 Gb). And when you install system image for the device with 16 Gb on device with 32 Gb you will have system partition like in 16Gb-version. Also, sometimes custom ROMs' system image is a little bit "cut". So, resize2fs fixes it, you will have as many system storage, as can handle your system partition. And this function is not very useful for our device.

Finally its official!! All your hard work has paid off. .

Thanks a lot & congrats [MENTION=5917809]cucumber09[/MENTION].
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
You can use both of them, if zip you must flash it via recovery mode but if boot.img you must flash it via adb with command dd if :)

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

If all what I said is still not working, you must flash old twrp boot.img that have function like recovery but not in fota partition. I've that file if you want it . but please try it before and calm down OK [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Please, read the OP. It is clearly stated there:

So, stock is not supported, 'till someone builds stock kernel with all needed changes.

Recovery in zip in other topic is compiled on my PC. Image file on TWRP download server is compiled by official TWRP build-bot. There is no difference in them, 'cause they share the same source code (but maybe official TWRP build uses a little bit older code, snapshoot when current version was released).
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Adopted storage test

So, folks, I have test build with this commit merged and with included crypto. But unfortunately it doesn't boot on my device. Probably, because I'm using old CM12.1 build with old init. So, to test it you should:

1) Have new build with new init (the latest CM13 beta does), ensure you are not using NUI, as it uses old init outdated extract_elf_ramdisk with noticeable recovery ramdisk size limitations.

2) Have adopted storage enabled.

Download

And now I'll start build with disabled NTFS-3G to make it fit ramdisk size (I needed to disable crypto to enable ntfs-3g). Maybe we'll find any better solutions, but for now these limitations make me sad.

UPD: I figured out the problem. It was due to not updated extract_elf_ramdisk in NUI Kernel, I posted about this issue in the thread and I think it will be fixed in next NUI version.
[Sony Xperia M] coolboyforeva:
Tested it , it just stucks at twrp logo screen. Nothing happens. I used rash app for flashing..

M using cm13 by PecanCM..
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
That's strange. Some users from another forum reported it to semi-work, one of them reported logo freeze too. Seems that we should wait for improvement of adopted storage support in TWRP. Now it is not even merged to upstream, so it cannot be treated as stable. Anyway, thanks for testing.
[Sony Xperia M] coolboyforeva:
M not sure of the method i used.. I used an app..maybe someone else cn confirm by using adt commands for flashing.. Coz dats a better way i believe..
[Sony Xperia M] SdtBarbarossa:
have you thougt of storage.xml? if not ask dees_troy in irc
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
I thought it is generated by system or something like this. And I don't have Marshmallow ROM flashed so I don't know about some things about how adopted storage works. Okay, I'll ask Dees on IRC tomorrow if I don't forget. Vielen dank fuer information.
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
Method doesn't matter if it flashes image directly to FOTAKernel and if you've flashed that image that I provided in recent post.
[Sony Xperia M] madper:
I can confirmed that using your test build will stuck on twrp logo, and only if i remove my sdcard it can boot twrp properly. I am using cm 13 beta 5.2 with adopted storage
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
New test build for Marshmallow

Dees_Troy uploaded 2 new patch sets since my previous build. He said, it may help. So here is new test build (BTW, my unofficial builds are now here) to check if adopted storage works now. And if you are using NUI kernel, don't forget to update it as we have fixed extract_elf_ramdisk issue.
[Sony Xperia M] madper:
For me the newest test build still stuck on TWRP logo when sdcard inserted
[Sony Xperia M] Agu_Ra:
So, guys, I decided to flash CM13 and test adopted storage myself when [MENTION=4343949]PecanCM[/MENTION] uploads next beta. So no news for now. Wait for next CM13 beta.

Very cool, good luck [emoji6]
[Sony Xperia M] SdtBarbarossa:
the latest patchset (the one merged) works for XL , i9300 and i9305 .... should work on your device also :) remember to add libcrypto (that was necessary for XL)

the storage.xml mentioned earlyer is created by system as you said

PS: use the new crypto flag... not the JB one
