I was having really bad battery drain. Flashed CM 12.1 on it and it's been amazing since. Scored 48273 in Antutu and battery is lasting forever. Unplugged at 6am this morning, it's 4pm now, been using it with full brightness all day, I'm a heavy user. 45% still left.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdexter:
It's a shame that you have to flash different software just to be able to get full use of the phone.

The amount of bloatware that came with this phone is probably the worst I've ever seen!!

I get damn good battery life on my ZF2 551. I am running stock 2.19.40.22 as the latest OTA has not popped up for me yet. I get a full day's usage out of it, about two and a half on standby.

OUR LOVELY MIDRANGE ZENFONE 2 ZE550ML GOT THEIR OWN CYANOGENMOD NIGHTLY BUILD.. YEEHHAAAA!!

as you can see until today, Zenfone 2 have 3 CM builds which is:

Unofficial CyanogenMod by crpalmer (they has released build for ZE550ML too!!): http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightly-t3164144

Paranoid Android by Niropa : http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/rom-t3169921

SlimLP by deadman96385 : http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/rom-slimlp-t3169982

but the sad thing is, those custom rom is for ZE551ML ONLY.

and now i want to teach you how to install those custom rom for our mid range Zenfone 2 ZE550ML

FIRSTLY, download any custom rom you like from the links above. (I prefer SlimLP) and download Gapps to from HERE

SECONDLY, follow this instruction for installing Custom Rom on your devices --> http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-flash-cm12-1-zf2-newbies-t3165515

THIRDLY, THIS IS THE MOST TRICKY PART!!! follow me by reading this slowly and gently before doing this part.

after you successfully install the Custom Rom let it boot first.. and after you see the BLACK SCREEN, DO NOT PANIC !!

you will get a fully black screen and you can see there are TIME, BATTERY AND NETWORK DATA at the top. (thats mean you install the rom correctly)

and now, you just connect your devices to computer using data cable.

download this folder from here (credit to uploader) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByTxb-IFfEL-REcweFFWdlE4Nnc/edit

then, EXTRACT THE ZIP INTO A FOLDER and PRESS SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK to the folder and choose OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE

NEXT, command window will open and type ADB DEVICES to check if your devices connect properly and detected by your computer. If there are no phone list in the command window, check your driver.

HERE IS THE MOST TRICK ;)

Key in this code first "adb shell wm size 719x1279" and then poooffff!! no more black screen yeayyyy..

secondly, key in this code "adb shell wm density 320" to get normal DPI for our devices.

and then you can continue to finish up the setup wizards and enjoy CM12.1 on your lovely ZE550ML :victory:

(or maybe we can get CM build for ZE550ML next time? at this moment, just use this trick to feel the CM12.1)

i have a more simple solution ,can u try to add this line to system.prop before flashing :

ro.sf.lcd_density=267

or search for it maybe it's already exist and change it to 267

and see if it works

at this moment, you can use it as normal usage.
[ZenFone 2 General] windylawyer.1712:
does slimp rom have led noti bug or just because 550ML model doesnt work?

i flash slimP rom as u said and all work like charm, except led noti and camera fc sometimes.

[ZenFone 2 General] Shafwan7:
[MENTION=5104441]windylawyer.1712[/MENTION] yes that is the rom bug. led notification didnt work. and camera, you can download google camera at playstore.
[ZenFone 2 General] S#@DY:
Thanks for the post. Will surely try it today after downloading.

But I have got few queries, should I change the resolution through adb each and every time I restart the phone?

What If i change the resolution in the ramdisk and system prop?
[ZenFone 2 General] Shafwan7:
just change the resolution once at the first boot. resolution and dpi.

about the ramdisk, i dont test it and i think it wont work or maybe someone can do something to make it work hehee.
[ZenFone 2 General] S#@DY:
If you haven't tested, I'll give it a try.. Though it wont be much optimized for our phone.

[ZenFone 2 General] bubblegoose:
Did this process, now TWRP won't let me install the ZE550ML version

I ran through this process a few days ago. Now that there is a SlimROM version for the ZE550ML, I downloaded and tried to install using TWRP.

I tried to flash the new Z008 version (the correct version for a ZE550ML) and TWRP v2.8.7.0 now says "This package is for device: Z008; this device is Z00A. E:Error executing updater binary in zip..."

Any ideas for getting TWRP to not do this check and just flash the device?
[ZenFone 2 General] helroz:
Try to modify your build.prop file in system folder, updater script check probably this file.

ro.product.device and ro.build.product to Z008

Modify all build.prop files.
[ZenFone 2 General] bubblegoose:
I just took every place where I saw Z00A, went one by one and changed it to Z008, rebooted and tried to flash after each one.

I am still getting the same error.

What do you mean by "Modify all build.prop files"? I can only see the one under /system.
[ZenFone 2 General] helroz:
Edit:

This method work:

Open the zip and open and modify:

/meta-inf/com/google/android/updater-script

The first 2 lines for mod check Z008 to check Z00A.
[ZenFone 2 General] Shafwan7:
yeap. all hail cm build nightly for ZE550ML
[ZenFone 2 General] jrior001:
There are updated recoveries now for Z008. Also, soon I will be testing a combined recovery that will work on both devices.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jo0ey:
Hi everyone. i am new here!

I just used odin to get back to stock rom for my captivate, i had [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2] rom installed before i installed stock rom

everything working fine right now but when i plug my usb into the phone to copy some files it just automatically turns off after 4-5 second and it stays turned off , and when i unplug usb, its automatically turns on again. even when i plug my phone charger, happening same thing. that means i can't even charge my phone! was searching this problem , there are some similar problems but not like this, could not find any solution yet.

- Tried 2 different usb cabels but same thing happening on both.

- I did not drop my phone or something like that.

- battery was working fine. except it loses energy pretty faster, like 1 day.

I installed stock rom because i wanted to fix my IMEI problem and then wanted to go back to Captivating xperia themed rom. now IMEI is fixed but how do i install rom if i can't even use my usb?

Please help!

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jo0ey:
Never mind. i fixed it by my self. looks like it was my stock rom causing that usb problem. i installed another rom by using "download mode" from odin. now my problem is fixed but my imei is still messed up. hope i will fix that soon too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You'll have to flash stock 2.3 with Odin to fix your imei.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jo0ey:
Yeah i know, that's what i did because of imei but then this problem started what i mentioned. so i went to costom rom again and phone does not reboot anymore but yea imei is still messed up, but i can still receive calls and messages, but "antenna" is on very low, like 1 or 2 lines.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
That could be your modem, might need to flash another.

For your imei, try to flash another ROM from stock. Your phone obviously doesn't like the one you're using atm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jo0ey:
what do you mean modem?

- yeah looks like my phone really does not like custom roms , but i don't like stock rom , so .. :D

the worst thing is that none of guide worked for me to change imei. i even flashed imei changer as zip.

i will fkin fix this anyway!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaydeep123:
Use this Odin One Click (I897UCKJ3_withBL)

Hello idol 3 community"

Well I have just took delivery of this device and first impression's wow"

I first stumbled on this device when a friend showed me it around its release d time, and it took my eye then and then I completely forgot about it until now when looking for a new phone due to loosing my P8 Lite [emoji22] , I came across it on Amazon £199 seemed to good to be true for the spec so took a punt on it ,

Glad i did it feels flagship premium and specs to match screen is crisp and camera to match , although it dose have strange location for power button and USB OK iv seen USB in that location before but power button!!

Anybody explain the reason for the power button being top left?

I have fairly large hands and its tricky
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
It has double tap to wake and sleep. I seldom use my power button.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DoobyDroid:
Yes I like double tap to wake like the G3 but double tap to sleep I've tried and dose not lock is there a setting I've missed its locking the phone I find hard such a stretch one handed and don't want to drop , I got a smart case that seems to work well when I close case it locks screen , suppose will do ,, thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DoobyDroid:
Ah got it to work now derrrr" that helps still keep looking for that power button on right side lol
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neilownz:
Power button is right where my left thumb is when putting it back inside my pocket.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
So turn it upside down...since it has mic/speaker on both sides you can use it upside down without issue and then power isn't in your way...vol up/down even work as you expect even though they are at bottom left.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DoobyDroid:
How do you RMA this device as I don't see it on Alcatel device support listing so can't complete form as device not there , reason being I have a second device for the Mrs but its stop detecting the sim have tested with several sims and none work , tia
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Romman0:
If you got it from amazon, try them first.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DoobyDroid:
I did and they sent a new one ,

The device was brought unlocked and worked fine with my TPO sim went to put a ID sim in and would not work then it wouldn't work with the TPO sim tried few sims same issue. Then I put a three sim in and up popped signal bar ,,wtf how can it sim lock to three network when never put a official three sim in the phone to start , I can only assume the I'd sim ( who piggy back of three) was to blame but it wouldn't work only a official three sim , how has this happened when it was unlocked device ,

Guestn/a posts Thanks: 0

So.. The Android 5.1.1 version is here and I've unrooted my phone for the update, but it still shows "Could not verify." Are there any files that cause the verifying process to know that I had rooted my device? If yes, can I delete it or what? Or are there any other ways to update without flashing a ftf file? (1. Because that ftf file is very big and my Internet speed couldn't afford it. 2. Because I don't want to wipe my apps and data) Any help would be appreciated!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicozani:
@OP, If I understand right, it's the custom recovery you might have that prevents the OTA update from completing successfully. Which, in a way, is a good thing.

Step 1: reroot your phone while you still can.

Step 2: download any of a number of flashable, pre-rooted 5.1.1 ROMs with recovery (*.zip) floating around now and flash it with your current recovery, wiping only cache and Dalvik upon exit. This is what I've done to keep all my date and settings and still be rooted and have recovery on 5.1.1.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayhome:
After I flash this, can my phone update OTA or the same problem will happen?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicozani:
As far as we know, custom recoveries will always prevent OTA updates to our Xperia devices. Why are OTA updates seemingly so important to you? With your custom recovery installed, you can always simply flash the new update when it becomes available; often before the OTA update is released.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayhome:
Hmm okay thankyou

Can I use the AOSPA ROM? Does it need to unlock my bootloader to flash it?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giancaleone:
Some consideration about this thread.

1) Not never the OTA updade overwrite the ROOT, example I passed from .627 to .28 through OTA update without lose the root and recovery. This depend of kind of update.

2) I think that to install a pre-rooted rom is not a good thing, because the baseband is almost always different an this can create issue related the WI-fi and carrier signal (3G, 4G).

3) I always installed the root, recovery and mod as well. But now I have understand that is not really necessary to install this. At least the stock Z2 have a good/beautiful OS and good hardware and there is no need to change some colors or icons to improve it.

I'm boring to flash and restore my data every new firmware or new mod. (now a new firmware is already certified and will be ready soon).

Maybe I will think to change the room when my phone will be obsolete

Regards
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayhome:
Totally understand, thankyou, so I just flash the original ROM from AOSPA and without root is enough right?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicozani:
If you do not have an unlocked bootloader, you cannot flash anything but a pre-rooted stock 5.1.1 ROM with recovery. There are several types available in the General Z2 column.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayhome:
I have a crazy thought flashed across my mind haha, that file that I downloaded via OTA SYSTEM UPDATE is still there, can I make it as a zip file and flash it?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicozani:
Why would you do that? You wouldn't have root and you wouldn't have a recovery; you'd be stuck, unable to root and install a recovery. Do what I said and you'll be fine.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayhome:
Can you help me to find one? That doesn't need to unlock bootloader to flash.

Maybe they are trying to get the Radio and baseband more stable before they push Lollipop out? Because my LTE in the US is kinda iffy sometimes, but it has gotten better with the new updates.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] cameronboy:
Hi All I am quite new to moible pc but i do have excellent pc skills so its a bit of a learning curve for me. I managed to get most thing working the way I want reading these posts.

I Purchased an o2 orbit a few months back. I need to get the gprs roam settings to work with vodaphone simm.

Everything else works fine I would like to browse the web without wifi.

I think the phone must be unlocked as it works fine with my vodaphone works simm in it.

can you point me to the correct setting or does it need to be unlocked further to enable gprs settings to work?

other small problem of it keeps saying memory is low even though I have a 2gb storage expansion installed.

last small problem I cant get pages with flash media to play eg you tube videos what media source do i need to install.

Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] step0011:
couple questions, when you ask roam what do you mean just so you can connect to vodafone gprs out and about and are you pay as you go or contract?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] cameronboy:
Hi

its a works contract vodaphone simm. Work provides a very basic nokia so I installed it into the o2. I pay work £7 a month for personal use:)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] step0011:
klkl basically you need to tap start>settings>connections (tab at bottom)> conections > add a new modem conection > cellular line GPRS > type in a name and next > access point is wap.vodaphone.co.uk > user name is web and password is web should sort you out
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] itschase:
Once you get the GPRS working, go to www.mobile.htc.com on your phone and that site will lead you to where you can download flash for mobile PC.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] cameronboy:
although the phone works with the vodaphone simm it will not allow me to change the gprs password. i have tried deleting the old connection editing the connection. if it going to require a full unblock does anyone in uk reflash these o2 free and upgrade software for a reasonable cost if so please advise. I would need a very quick turnaround.

thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] step0011:
strange :S i've never had the issue and im running sweet with a T-Mobile sim in o2 orbit could be the custom script, might be worth doing the "clear storage" this will return phone to factory settings and remove anything you have installed but should sort it, basically you go settings > system clear storage and when its all complete will restart phone, when it says custom script will begin in 3 seconds press the soft reset button (small hole on side next to the answer button) this will stop the custom script from running so should be generic windows mobile setup, you'll have to set everything up manually but hey worth it if you can connect :D
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] cameronboy:
Sound like a plan:)

also if i do system clear as described will this kill my phones contacts sim and voice dial tags and remove my

tom tom and voices?? can these be backed up first?

thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] step0011:
well yeah back them up but voices should be on SD card, anything on SD wont get touched

As it costs me to believe what I was told in assistance since it usually works with all phones from Samsung.*

What I want to know is if the problem is only here in Portugal or if they are all like that.*

But I have the following questions:

- on the one app I see that the account this Lock on

- as unlock the account.*

what happens is that I when the tablet access to the account check that it recognizes the smartphone. the error that occurs in concrete is:

- When I turn the bill states that the same is on, but then reports that the synchronization is disabled and when I will activate it gives the message that your account is not supported on this device.*

Does anyone has had the same problem and if so how to solve?

Hi, I have created this thread to discuss Xposed related things for LG G3. The old thread was closed for reasons that are unknown to me.

We know that some LG apps crash with Xposed installed and that it can be partially fixed by using ported apps from LG G4

Apps that cause crashes:

LG Weather

LG Cover

LG EasyHome

Also the SmartNotice feature does not work (LG Home feature)

Could you confirm that the EasyHome does not work, too?

If you to look at the old thread it looks like they were testing a method of having xposed work with the encrypted files we usually have to remove. Looks like it was successful but why it would be closed for no reason and no description for everyone else to follow afterwards doesn't make sense.

It was closed because xposed has been fixed for the G3 so there's no need for it any longer. But now i don't have the quick cover or smart weather apk's and stuff. Was hoping to find them here.....maybe a flashable zip to add them back?
