Because no Hermesdeveloper has been able to make it work with the Hermes touchscreen driver, which apparently is differnt. It's also obvious in this demo how poorly the touch screen reacts to the use of the thumb. I'm no expert but I guess screensdrivers are optimized for use with stylus (small area, high pressure, thumb big area less pressure).

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokinjoe2122:
Maybe I have an issue with my phone, maybe all Zenfones are like this? I can see a light blue line (1/8" maybe) going down the screen, but it only shows up on certain colors (Like a very faded lollipop blue color)

Does anyone else have this, or do I have a defective phone? I've reached out to ASUS via e-mail and still waiting for a reply. This is defintely hardware based per my testings, and again, you almost cannot see it with a complete white background...Only certain colors show the line...I'll try to grab of photo when I'm home...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] surrealmethod:
I've tried using wanam and various other xposed modules, but is there a way to hide the Bluetooth icon, silent icon, and the am/pm on the clock? I'm trying to keep a minimalistic status bar.

Another option is to make these icons transparent.

Any guidance on any of these 2 approaches would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Alcor10:
Not sure on the rest, but there is a center clock and a remove am/pm mod in the forums, can't remember which rom it's under though.
[Android Themes] kettir:
I've used icondy, which will allow me to merge icon packs. I've also used apps that will pull the icons out of a theme and save them as individual graphic files (Themex for instance). I've found some directions on how to create an icon pack. What I'm thinking is:

1. Why isn't there an android app that will pull the icons out of a theme and create a separate icon pack? The theme has all the info needed to properly identify and set up which icons are used for what. NOTE: if this is considered unacceptable and stealing, never mind then.

2. Why isn't there an android app that will let you create an icon pack? I may not understand the process correctly but it appears you have to identify the icon properly and possibly have more than one dpi version, but that seems like something an app could actually handle. You would just need to have the PNG files and then select them as needed for the icon pack and it gets created with the necessary permissions and so on.

Thanks for anyone who can assist, or at least explain why it's not possible to have an app do all or any of the above.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavwalker:
On the S6, certain apps, such as Google Photos, Mixcloud, Google Clock (there's plenty more) the status bar does not tint correctly, it has the same colour as the menu bar with a dark shade on top, anyone else noticed this? I don't have this problem on any other Lollipop device.

I've contacted Samsung support and they have stated it's a dev problem? I don't understand how when it's fine on all other devices, which makes me believe it's Touchwiz.

Any fix or help for this problem?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It seems to be the default behavior of TouchWiz status bar, I don't believe you can do anything. I only tested Google Photos though, as it's the only app I have that you listed and compared it to my Nexus 10.

My S6 showed a completely transparent status bar with a dark shade on top (like a shadow), while Nexus 10 reduced the opacity of the status bar.

All the best,

~Lord

Yes

You can flash TWRP.
[ZenFone 2 General] squo_85:
I mean I need to install TWRP first and than go to there or I already have it using shown rooting method?
[ZenFone 2 General] AL_IRAQI:
Remove root and install ota with stock recovery
[ZenFone 2 General] vipercoyote:
Not sure about that method but in the asus resource thread root method 3 you can OTA update as long as you have stock recovery and system apps installed and no exposed

I was able to OTA update via method 3 but I didn't have TWRP installed at the time and my stock apps was present. I was rooted and boot loader unlocked
[ZenFone 2 General] vipercoyote:
Instructions worked good for me. But a few keys. Keep root until your ready to flash. You need root to edit those files(update) and to save it. I used es file explorer to edit, move and save it
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Think this method would be good for people needing to do everything on device, but if you are going to use a pc anyway I suspect it would be quicker and easier to just flash stock recovery, update and then flash twrp again.

BTW, this can be added and may be usefull for someone...

If somebody removed some apps in system when they will try to apply the OTA it will be bumped an error, so you will also need to delete the apply_patch_check string which controls the signature of every app and odex to see if they got changed... ;)

Hi Guys

when we flash Stock ROM it looks like it stopped at "Updating IFWI...."

but thats okay because Asus didn't add any "ui_print" after it, in custom ROMs we usually use to show the progress

before

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/by-name/system", "0", "/system");

add

ui_print("Mount & Format System ...");

before

package_extract_dir("recovery", "/system");

add

ui_print("Extract System ...");

before

symlink("/system/lib/libbluetooth_jni.so", "/system/app/Bluetooth/lib/x86/libbluetooth_jni.so");

add

ui_print("Permissions ...");

before

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/by-name/boot");

after these edits you guys should know whats the progress

[ZenFone 2 General] I'mRonBurgandy?:
You can download the update from ASUS/support and then extract recovery and flash it via adb tools through the boot loader.
[ZenFone 2 General] BXWolf92:
When I try this, I get permission denied in fastboot. Not sure If I'm doing something wrong, though I've tried rooting the device and trying again and it still will not allow me.

Also, just asking, which file from within the Full Rom am I supposed to use?

Edit: I've also tried the Rashr method with no results. By which i mean I get an error when booting to recovery.

Edit 2: I've managed to install TWRP with no issues, so it seems to be the recovery img i am using, even though I've tried to redownload it and retry the stock one.
[ZenFone 2 General] I'mRonBurgandy?:
Your bootloader is locked if you flashed the stock firmware. That could be the problem with fastboot. I don't know for sure, but it would explain the permission denied.
[ZenFone 2 General] BXWolf92:
I ran the Asus bootloader unlock app just to be sure, and it made no difference. still getting permission denied. the odd thing is that i can flash TWRP, get permission denied, reboot to recovery and get Twrp Recovery running, but the Asus recovery img does not seem to work the same way (i get an error when booting to recovery). Same thing also happens when I use an app to flash. At this point i suspect the recovery image I am using is the culprit. Anyone have an img that they know works?
