What about custom ROMs for ZE500CL?
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
This phone gets no attention, thinking of modding stock firmware, de-bloat it, xposed preinstalled.... That kinda would be cool, something different to flash.

I found a ROM based on WW 2.20.40.160 for the Z00A called Echoe, which features ViPER4Android, and extended reboot menu, Adaway, network traffic in status bar, extended volume options, and some battery and performance optimization. Original thread
[ZenFone 2 General] de5ta:
Echoe rom looks great, its like stock rom but he modified it to make it lighter. Have you try it? And one more, which is best between viper4android n poweramp, cause i never try viper4android. Thx

LInks for today's OTA? (ZE550ML)
[ZenFone 2 General] Carver0611:
I'm using Echoe ROM. I really like it for the most part. It still has a stock feel, and the integrated su, busybox and viper4android is great. Xposed works great too. I'm getting fantastic battery life. It lasts the whole day with a heavy workload, and two days on a light one.

The only thing that I could probably do without would be the customisation features that were added. It's a bit like it was debloated somewhat, then bloated again. I prefer adding all my customizations through Xposed anyway.

Overall more positive than negative. I think I'll keep this a while :)

Are you sure you didn't invert in "Newer OTA" 164 with 165 for 551 and 550? I have a 551ML and the OTA updt is 164.
[ZenFone 2 General] cmendonc2:
Thats odd. The thread for the last update is here: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/ze551ml-update-v2-20-40-165201601186541-t3298596 and they list it as 165. The 165 link has Z00A in it, and the 164 link has Z008 in it, so the OTA you must be getting is probably as cumulative OTA, maybe if you have .97 or something around that installed.

PROBLEM:

I tried 3 different ROMs, they got all same problem. When i install Google Play apk it does not open. When i flash GAPPS(i tried every version for 6.0 x86, pico nano micro stock..) i get "Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped" and " Google Play services has stopped" every seconds.

I tried give every permissions to google apps but it didnt work.

I tried over and over again flash it different ways. I tried twrp and cyanogen recovery. Cyanogen recovery flash the ROM but it says i should try CWM or TWRP to flash GAPPS.

I tried flash it without SD card(i read it on reddit) but didn't work for me.

I tried without SIM, didn't work.

How to full stock rom

Hi guys, i have ZE551ML 4GB/2.3GHz WW (rooted+TWRP)

Right now i dont have any SO on my phone (Flashed Phone)

I tried install the last firmware (stock rom) UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.184-user.zip but failed.

Can you tell how can i install the full stock rom with TWRP.

[ZenFone 2 General] chooks06:
There is no adaptive storage when you upgrade to 6.0.1. Asus disabled it. You will also lose some (good) stock apps and some can be installed independently but some cannot. Check out their change log on the FW update page.

Also the stock backup and restore app can no longer backup in 6.0.1 but only restore.

Camera wise, I can't tell how much it has improved as I rarely use it. But no complains.
[ZenFone 2 General] coolkillermax:
thank you for good Info so daily performance which is better 5.0 or 6.0 ？
[ZenFone 2 General] chooks06:
Personally, I have no complains with the 6.0.1. Feels smoother over LL..

There are improvements, especially with the Doze feature. However, sometimes, the phone didn't go to sleep and when that happens, the battery drain is a straight line 45 degree downward..50% can be drained just in 6 hours thru the night.

Could be due to apps not closing etc...

Overall battery improvement but in my case my battery is left with 2500mAh tops as it's almost 2 years old so still charging every night. But I try to maintain a Max of between 90 to 95% tops.

Maybe you may want to go thru some of the threads on Zentalk regarding the upgrade. Personally, I found no major issues taking OTA but after some time, because of other issues, I decided to reset the phone.

Some users don't advocate resetting before upgrading, others do. Different feedback.. But no 2 users set up the phone identically.. Individual preference. Some even advocate resetting after upgrade.

If you've never done a "clean cache"/factory reset using the recovery menu, please take note to ensure your battery is charged to at least 80% and be very very patient.. It can take up to 15 mins to just clear cache using recovery menu. I soft bricked my phone the first time..lol..

But go through the threads.. There's an option to roll back, depending on the version of MM installed. Just spend some time digesting those threads.
[ZenFone 2 General] coolkillermax:
big thanks & check your thanks Meters :cool:

if battery can't deep sleep in 6.0 that's annoying…

i saw about other thread peoples mention 6.0 some apps did not support example real racing car & other…
[ZenFone 2 General] chooks06:
Thanks for boosting my thanks meter. But it so happened I read your post and was available to reply.

I don't play games like real racing, etc.

When I bought the Zf2 it was in retaliation to Samsung S6 (4GB RAM, 64GB ROM, beats the S6 in speed). But overall, I had good experience with the phone. Like I said, no 2 persons use the phone on exactly the same way. What works for some may not work for others. There's no right or wrong.

When you are confident enough to take the plunge, go for it.. If you don't like it, roll back BUT know exactly what you have to do. You see, it's been 2 years and I guess Asus has already pulled out support for this model.

I'm not an expert but I've learnt a lot transiting from Qualcomm to Intel and now I'm on MTK (another different ball game).

[Xposed General] R_Chin:
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this so by all means move it to the correct place in the forums if this is not correct. But I have been looking for a module that allows you to take the app that is currently open and move and resize it around the screen. So say I am in my sms app and I get another notification I can simply just drag the app I am in into the bottom side or wherever while I look at the other app. I know there is XHalo Floating Window and apps like those but those you launch the app separately which to me seems a little unneeded. I am just looking for something that allows me to take the app I am currently in and move it around to open another. Thanks

GO in the HTC One M7 general section of this forum, you'll see a sticky thread name "Collection - Lollipop signed ruu"

Download the first file from the second post (7.19.401.22 RUU) and save it in the same folder you have your fastboot.exe installed on your computer. Then read post #1 for instructions how to flash the ruu, you must use the fastboot version linked in post #1.

The ruu will reflash your phone 100% stock then if its still not booting its maybe an hardware problem, but lets try the ruu first.

Also edit your first post and remove your phone IMEI and Serial number, never post these 2 numbers.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilKing009:
Hi,

My camera lens is badly scratched.I tried to fix using toothpaste,water,lotion etc but nothing works on him.

Pics are in attachment.

Is there's any thing that should be able to remove its scratches?? :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilanStojkovic:
Toothpaste method is for removing oleophobic coating, it doesn't really remove the scratches but the whole thing on top of your lense. If it doesn't work for you, then it might be that the camera lense on g2 is different from the phone the guide you were following was written for. If your pics quality is really affected by the scratches, you should change the rear housing backplate that contains camera lens & volume buttons. It's around $20 I think.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilKing009:
yes.Camera is creating foggy and grainy pictures so thats why i am looking for it,how about if i use metal polish on it ?? :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilanStojkovic:
Metal polish doesn't sound like a good idea, it might damage the glass (if it's glass underneath anyways). Just noticed mine is scratched too, but pics seem decent. It's a really bad quality I guess since I use double layer hard case for my phone and I doubt lens is in contact with anything most of the time. I dunno man, google a bit about it. Replacing the part if nothing works, or if you mess things up. Be careful. There are some guides online but I think finding out which material is it made of is essential. For example, if it's polycarbonate you can use something with hydrofluoric acid. It will remove everything from it leaving the lense clear. But if it's glass, hydrofluoric acid will dissolve it and make it look like frosted glass.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilKing009:
Thanks.I guess it is the only way to fix is to replace its rear cam housing. :(

Pretty cheap fix, I'm having the same problem with the rear can pics coming out foggy with streaks.

Unlocking bootloader wipes all internal memory and loses DRM Keys, so before unlocking backup them. .

How to backup DRM Keys: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598 - remember to upload this backup to online server(s) to be sure you will not lose this keys because these keys are assigned only to your phone, so if you try using another DRM Keys you'll brick your phone.

Then you can unlock bootloader and in case of any problems with Z2 flash stock rom and restore DRM Keys - bootloader will automatically lock, and warranty will apply :)
