Thats the feeling I am getting as I read around. :)

Thanks again for your help at this late hour. After midnight here on the east coast.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Zetsubou Sensei:
The reason you were getting that error may have been because you had tried flashing the wrong version of xoosed. Look for the one that ends with "22" not "21" as the former is built for 5.1.x and the latter for 5.0.x.

I don't recommend dirty flashing with xoosed installed and remember you risk trying this at your own peril :D
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] webdoctors:
I'm using 9/16 one and its pretty stable. I tested wifi/bluetooth and just 1 sim with LTE data and it works well. GPS works well with Google Maps, chromecast has been working well too.

I had posted a BT issue earlier in the thread but it was fixed by doing a complete wipe before installing the ROM.

Double tap on the screen doesn't work unless you use the status bar and not just an empty part of the middle screen.

I don't have a 2nd sim to test with, but its definitely fine as my daily driver. Likely won't update until the official release since its working with all my apps without issue.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] extreme.samir:
installed 19/09 ... no issue so far. Installed smoothly. Working smoothly...
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] mastermarkofroms:
Same for me Ive been installing every nightly right after release lol gotta so far devs you are doing an amazing job the battery life on my phone the other day lasted me 10 hours regular use.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] gaganpattanayak:
1. I do not have exposed on my phone now

2. But it works see here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61687960&postcount=7

3. There are two failures with Xposed and I did the following to get over them

3.1 Updater binary does not run ==> In this case do wipe [davlik,cache,system], flash rom, flash zip, install xposed apk, do wipe [davlik, cache] flash xposed 73 SDK 22 or the latest on the link. If flash is sucessfull (worked for me) then open Xposed app, you may see

3.2 Xposed is installed but not activated ==> see Xposed log (it is there in the menu of the app), it will show you you a file named disabled. locate the file, delete the file, restart.

I was able to activate Xposed when I was running it 2 days back, however my problem was the Sim 2 icon was missing and I was advised to uninstall xposed which I did.

Hello guys, today I finally installed cm12.1

I've come from stock ROM, put twrp and flashed it.

Everything is fine, I'm amaze. Yipeeee !!

Thank you very much. You guys are awsome. I'm facing only 2 bugs which y'll aware of it.

1. Ugly screen when call comes and goes

2. And only video problem, if I see any video, its fine but when I forward it then it lags
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
Another thing I'm facing is battery draining :(
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] extreme.samir:
But I am feeling that battery drain equally in both stock and CM.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
No mate, it drains faster than stock.

I had been using stock for almost 3 weeks so I know the difference
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] deltabetacooper:
I ran Geekbench's battery test on both stock and CM12. Both tests were nearly the exact same. Scored 3779 and was on for 6:18:30 on stock and 3803 on for 6:22 CM12. For all intents and purposes, battery life is the same. You are experiencing a placebo.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] TheSSJ:
How about checking the deep sleep states? Is everything okay there?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
This is the first time, i have flashed cm12.1 on my asus. I was on stock before, now battery only drains when I'm using phone. I'm using an app called as cpu spy reloaded so it also tells me the wakelocks. Here what I'm gonna do. Tomorrow, on full charged, I'll use phone till 2-3% then put you battery usage and stuff. One more thing when apps are on background like 10-12. It lags while in recent screen but only its 5-6 then it doesn't.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] 473NG3R:
It seems pretty close to stock to me (I'm still on 0913) but there were a couple of builds that noticeably drained the battery faster in the past.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have posted here.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] 473NG3R:
Never said you weren't sure. Also why I said which build I'm on. My point was that it seems to vary between builds, and that I have an older build. Why would our experience be similar? I wasn't replying to you, just adding my experience. Hopefully battery improves for you.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] extreme.samir:
I used stock 3 months and then i flashed CM and battery is same in both . but only calling screen giving me pain. Rest everything is good. Butter smoothness is lacking. But honestly developer did it best for this ROM and they are still providing us better ROM everyday. Thanks to all developers.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] yvessparks:
I used stock for a while before moving to CM. Its noticeable, but not much...so its not as much an issue as being mentioned now...
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
Yep mate, you're right
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] JustADreamer:
Hey ! CM 12.1 for zenfone 2 still havent external(micro sd card) bug ? Is it right ?

Wallet updated to Android Pay today & now won't work, claiming a "working version of Android" can't be "verified." Any ideas?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bullet25:
Android Pay won't even work if you have a stock rom rooted. It looks like Google got super paranoid that somebody will sue them if their info is stolen
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
What I'm hearing is that the new android pay is way more secure. Possible even checking root/bootloader lock status and Google CTS credibility. If most of that proves to be true you may never see it working on custom ROMs.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] moore.bryan:
Thanks for the quick response, gang. Still not a deal-breaker for me...
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] espeon:
I still have no idea why Android Pay works for me, the only thing I can think of is that I use SuperSU instead of the stock su binary.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Blubber120:
Still doesn't work with me. I am on the latest build.

Just want to know is it bug or feature when battery reaches to 90% it shows green light, but on stock it doesn't show unless its 100%
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] mastermarkofroms:
I think for now that might be a tiny cm bug but am not sure I am glad to know for sure that led works again though
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
Everything works here, I'm only facing first two bugs which op has already quoted on first page and battery draining not in deep sleep mode. I'm charging phone, its almost 97% so once it's full. I'll use it and show y'll battery usage
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] S#@DY:
Guys it has been a long since I've used cm....

Heard that the android os draining problem is solved :D
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] 473NG3R:
It is a feature. Can't say I like it but it is by design.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] micnerd:
19.9 update is pretty much better and its smoother.didn't face battery draining but

sim card detection fails sometimes or simcard 1 switches to roaming randomly...

but its much much better than stock...

keep going on guys .
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Blubber120:
Unfortunately it doesn't work, because the SD Card isn't recognized at all. At Stock ROM it works, don't understand why it doesn't with CM
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kylemd:
From what the devs were saying earlier in the thread the stock ROM has exFAT support in its' kernel and CM12.1 doesn't (yet)

Have had my SD card formatted as FAT32 and NTFS, and it's currently on EXT4. Didn't end up trying exFAT as EXT4 was a better option.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
Cm has so many bugs not only cause its unofficial for our device but even if gets official soon, we still will have plenty of bugs that's why its called nightlies update. I own moto g2 too so this bug had in former time. There are other of bugs which I see on my moto g2 everythere.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] yvessparks:
So many....are you serious? Some, maybe.... But so many? Come on, be serious. There are some small bugs. Some features, like Google pay, don't work...but not because of a bug but because of how Google has it designed. Etc. And even that, only some...not 'so many'.

I hope you are better at stealing wives :)

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Ritik17:
can i dirty flash the new build on an old build? or do i have to wipe data everytime?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] mastermarkofroms:
you only need to wipe the cache and dalvik cache before and after you flash new build nothing else.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Ritik17:
i did it once but i got bootloop
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] mastermarkofroms:

SIM2 and 2.20.40.90

jrior001, crpalmer I applied the most recent firmware version 2.20.40.90 and then did a TWRP restore of the 9/16 build. To my surprise, SIM 2 now show show as 'SIM empty'. Might finally fix a long standing bug?

Can anyone else confirm?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] blazinandroid1:
You can't dirty flash over exposed

Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] crpalmer:
Ummm. SIM empty is a good thing? What did it say before?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bjf182:
Yes, as SIM 2 is actually empty. From memory before it showed SIM 2 as active with nothing installed. I'll try installing a second SIM and see if i can disable it.

Edit: Darn. No second SIM of the proper size to test with. Still seems like movement in the right direction. Can anyone else confirm prior behavior of showing an empty second SIM card as 'active' when on FW x.x.x.22?

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] spiko:
I'm currently on 2.20.40.90 on my ZE551ML and I'd like to try out Cyanogenmod. From what I've read the bootloader on 2.20.40.90 is not unlockable (as of yet). My question is:

1. Are there efforts to unlock 2.20.40.90 in the near future?

2. How can I downgrade my recovery and rom to an unlockable version?

3. Are there steps/procedure available for #2?

4. What version is recommended to downgrade to?

After downgrading is this the correct process to install?

1. Root the phone

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Install TWRP

4. Flash rom and gapps

Thank in advance for all your efforts to bring CM to the Zenfone 2!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Bastaerd:
2.20.40.90 bootloader is unlockable with the 1 click unlock bootloader .bat.

I would unlock bootloader, flash recovery via fastboot, the flash CM + gapps using recovery. Saves a few steps.

For the devs: does CM kernel support Intel Secure Key aka hardware rng?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
Rashr tool flashes twrp also that saves time and energy xD
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Bastaerd:
But it needs root ;)
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] wifestealer:
Yep that's what I did

A. Unlocked bootloader by one click

B. Rooted by one click

C. Installed rashr and flashed untethered twrp

D. Flashed cm12.1 along with open gapps

Done :D

Hello,

I wrote here about 10 days ago because I've experienced a problem with the rom cyanogenmod 12.1-20150912 for the zenfone 2 ze551ml.

I've plugged the usb for a file transfer and the phone got completely bricked:

-black screen

-impossible to turn on (not a bootloop, I was unable to turn on the device)

-impossible to boot

-no led on charge

-it wasn't receiving incoming calls

and so on....

The only way in which I've managed to unbrick the phone was by removing its internal battery (after a disassemble).

I'm writing here only because I want to share this bad experience and the solution.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] extreme.samir:
Can we disassemble battery by ourselves? Or it need hardware knowledge?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] codecrusher:
It's easy, you don't need any particular knowledge.

1. remove the battery cover

2. unscrew the cross screw (if I remember well there are 9 screws)

3. remove the plastic plate

5. unplug the battery (1 pression plug on top left of the battery)

6. plug the battery

7. reassemble everything

"MMS cannot be stored"

I've had an ongoing issue with these builds, and want to check if anyone else is running into the same.

Background: Z00A, on T-Mobile USA

build: since 9/12, confirmed on 9/18, 9/19, and 9/20

Gapps: 8/16 (recommended from original post)

Xposed: occurs either with or without xposed in the picture

At a certain point, whenever I try to send a picture MMS, hangouts will say "MMS cannot be stored" (but the recipient will still get the message). If I receive a picture MMS, I get the prompt of a pending MMS with the option to download it, but it will fail to download giving the same error message. If I switch to the built-in Messaging app, attaching a picture to a message will crash the app.

If I clean-wipe and reflash, things work great, but temporarily, until I dirty-flash or even restore a backup from TWRP. For example:

1) clean wipe

2) test mms -> working

3) reinstall my apps

4) test mms -> working

5) reboot, retest, everything still great.

6) want to upgrade, retest mms -> working, so reboot recovery and do a backup

7) dirty-flash newer build

8) test mms -> "MMS cannot be stored"

9) reboot recovery, restore "working" backup

10) test mms -> "MMS cannot be stored"

11) full wipe/reflash, retest -> working

This is driving me nuts, and because of needing a working phone and the nandroid restore not providing a safety I don't have a good set of logs, but I can try to get some that I saved while troubleshooting. More specifically, I'm curious if anyone else is having this problem. Googling suggests clearing hangouts cache or even just rebooting, but these obviously do not help.

Incidentally, the 9/20 build seems to provide *fantastic* battery life, so I'll likely be sticking with that until I have time to provide better logs.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] scala_:
My thing is why is it that all my games work fine on Stock / Stock-based builds and yet on all CM-based builds I've tried so far none of my games seem to be able to run?

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Ntrasme:
All my games work fine, but they also seem to have a set delay in audio. It doesn't seem to be lag since a) only some games experience it b) it seems to be a set amount of delay c) the game run smoothly. Attaching logs, hopefully they show something.

Data Connection Problem

DEVICE: ZE550ML quad 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, CM 12.1 09/21/16 build.

PROBLEM: Data connection unexpectedly disconnects after a couple of seconds. Won't reconnect until I fully wipe Dalvik and cache.

DEVICE STATE WHEN IT OCCURS: Any battery percentage, any wifi state. LTE signal is excellent in my area. Data connection was excellent back when my ZE550ML was in stock ZenUI.

Further Description:

My ZE550ML have had that problem ever since I flashed the unofficial CM 12.1 (it was perhaps in the 1st week of August). I reflashed stock ZenUI. But that problem still persisted. So I reverted back to CM 12.1, reset the APN, did the 'Airplane Mode Fix' (it worked for some of my devices), changed the data bands to no avail.

Help Sirs . . .

I've had the same problem. As it turned out the wifi being always on was the culprit, but after flashing build 9/21 that problem seems to have already been fixed.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Mononon:
It's not a problem, it's just how the phone operates at the moment. It's been mentioned before, but SOT is almost irrelevant to overall battery life. The wakelock issue makes the battery go down regardless. You can sit with the screen on for 5-6 hours at low brightness and get relatively the same battery life.
