Again you assume I didn't do research on different phones even though I stated I already did. I am not trying make it personal. You seem to want to make it this way as all I am asking is for you to provide reason and fact behind what you are saying. I am not trying to say Asus is better in anyway. I am quite aware that they have some of the worst support around. I bought the Asus MeMoPad 176C/CX and to be polite about it, the tablet is no longer with us. I have seen plenty sources stating they will update it to 6.0. Its not that I am glossing over any negative. I am weighing the features and lack of features against the price and comparing it to ones in its price range. The closest contenders in my eyes were from Huawei and BLU as many of the other do not support US bands. The whole speed argument has been blown way out of scope because orignally it wasn't even directed at you. It was a person talking about slowing down their MMS. I understand 2G is spotty and horrible in most places, not denying it. My statement was about the silliness of MMS being faster on 4G LTE because the amount of data sent wouldn't allow for the network to pick up speed quick enough. Also, I am quite sure the quick charge has more to do with them no installing usb charging components capable of pulling the higher amps needed for quick charge, not a firmware block. However, if you have found otherwise I would be happy to look. Again, I just want the actual information as to why you are saying what you are. In each post you have given me more so thank you. You really don't need to attack my personal character though as it has nothing to do with the argument.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] :
Sometimes we just need to agree to disagree. Nothing wrong with debate, but no need to go in circles with it. ;)

Lets move on perhaps and keep it civil. No, I did not remove any posts as I see no rule violations in anything I read.

Loving the phone so far :D
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] floridaman:
You have the laser? I know I myself and others want to know about sim 2. Are you using 2 sim cards? Does the second sim drop to only 2G service?

There was conflicting information given by Asus about the sim 2 slot. Are you able to switch the data use directly from the phone or are you still having to manually switch the sim cards?

Thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] MrSalue:
I am using sim card but I am using data on simcard 1 ,

how can I check the service status of simcard 2? in the settings in dual sim card settings in asus laser phone there is a button called Data service Network that let me choose either sim 1 or 2 but I have not tried it because my other sim does not have internet on it
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] floridaman:
You should be able to tell by looking at the top in the bar when not connected to wifi. Also going into the system setting looking at the status in about phone. Plus you can download LTE Discovery from the play store that will tell you if you're hitting LTE or not and what band or system you're using.

You can only use 1 sim at a time for data. But ok, it does give you the option of switching inside the phone software. So that says both sims are capable of LTE.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] jose makalolot:
If you use both sims, the non data designated sim will only have GSM/2G voice. No data at all. It can't receive or send mms unless it is switched the data designation.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] floridaman:
Ok, thanks! Which is a bit different then what the specs say and then what the Asus reps are saying. Only 1 rep said it goes to 2G even though the specs say 2/3G and he did say you have text abilities though. The other rep said you get LTE on both sims at all times, one is selected for data and the other can still get 2/3/4 G for voice/text.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] jose makalolot:
It has voice and text but no mms and only 2G.

Posted using a calculator.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] babsk:
So it is the same issue as the Zenfone2 basically, 2G. Amounts to the same experience and same difference. I would have considered it otherwise.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] jose makalolot:
Almost amounts to the same. Since on the ZE551KL it asks you to change data sims to be able to receive or send MMS.

Posted using my phone.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] babsk:
But what about regular standby reception to receive an MMS from someone if you are in a low 2G area and are receiving not sending. I wonder there as you would not know to switch SIM slots over so you might miss messages being sent for people that have the reception problems (like I did with the ZF2)
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heddkandi:
Can this be rooted?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] jose makalolot:
Standby reception on 2nd sim is 2G only. Yup, more chances of missing mms.

Posted using my phone.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] babsk:
Thanks. That's the clarification I've been interested in. It still means for me the same thing that happened with the ZF2. Maybe they'll fix this with the ZF3 --who knows.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] jose makalolot:
With Asus' reputation, maybe it would be on ZF3 v10000

Posted using my phone.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] babsk:
LOL I know, right.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] goolac:
I had a ZF2 4g/64 Ze551ML and I gave it to my niece and purchased a Moto X Pure @ $550. Last week I discovered the for $199 32g at Newegg and decided it might be a nice backup or harsh environment phone. So far I have to admit this is one nice upgrade over the intel variant. Battery is much better and the sound quality on Bluetooth is 1000 times better.

I am shocked that this phone seems to be a direct upgrade in terms of what we the users of the ZF2 asked for. Even the removable battery is a great feature. As far as the Quick-charge feature, I am not too upset about that, at this price point, but the phone does include the BoostMaster charger, which is QuickCharge 1.0, I believe.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rczrider:
During the last round of deals, I got the 3GB/32GB ZE551KL for $160. I really don't think there's a better phone for the money right now.

There is certainly a great deal of ASUS bloatware, but for the most part it seems to mind its own business. "Octa-core" isn't especially useful and I was a little skeptical of the 615 processor, but it seems to handle ZenUI and the ASUS bloat just fine; I don't feel like it's slow to respond at all. I'm disappointed that there's no NFC, but I knew that going in and so it wasn't a dealbreaker. Expandable storage and a removable/replaceable battery have always been mandatory for me. I guess I'm disappointed that there's no Quick Charge, given that the Snapdragon SoC supports 2.0, but I've never owned a phone with QC before, so I don't know what I'm missing.

Now all I need is root to make it perfect ;)
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] dexter20082001:
For anyone that may be unaware, Asus updated the MM6 release to include the ZE551KL, not just the 500 and 550.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm curious if anyone has wiped Google completely out of the Nexus 6p and made it an open source mobile? (As much as one can.) These types of experiments always fascinate me. The last time I tried was on a Nexus 5 running TWRP/AOSP with FDroid. There was a considerable application gap but it almost worked for everything I needed at the time. I'm getting the urge to try again.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uodii:
This fascinates me more because damn near everything under the sun is collecting and selling your data, so how do people do anything? And I dont just mean phones either. Almost anything that electronic that connects to the internet today is collecting data for 1 reason or another. The only real way to prevent things from getting your data is to become Amish.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No there are many ways to keep your data to yourself. Things like only using things like tor browsers, vpns, and only using open source software that doesn't collect you data.

Hi, first my device can not be seen from a PC. So ADB/fastboot/Odin are out. All I have now is stock recovery. Is it possible to flash full stock rom using stock recovery? Thanks.
[Fire General] Vlasp:
Now that we have Root, we have access to many more things, one being Xposed. Xposed is a firmware that lets you customize your device even more than with root alone.

This guide has been adapted from this guide: http://www.andromods.com/apps-mod/easy-install-lollipop-xposed-framework-without-twrp-cwm-recovery.html

Download the xposed files from here: Latest Lollipop ARM Xposed and Material Design Xposed App (Unofficial)

Sign up for beta for FlashFire here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eu.chainfire.flash

Download FlashFire

Grant superuser to FlashFire

Press the "+" in the bottom right corner.

Choose “Flash ZIP or OTA” menu, and keep the “Auto-mount” option unchecked then tap checkmark icon to continue.

Choose the zip you downloaded.

Press the lightning button to start

Wait for it to finish and reboot

Install the apk.

Profit

Hope that helps!

You can replace the keyboard on a stock Fire without root the same way you do on any other device: Install the new keyboard and then set it to default in the input settings. In fact, installing Google Keyboard was one of the first things I did.

Gravitybox LP works for most things, and on the things it does not work on, those don't brick the device. I think Gravitybox is safe to use. Haven't tried Wanam Exposed or Greenify.

Installation Problems

When I flash it using Flashfire on the Cyanogenmod Rom, as you know, you have to fastboot it every time, so how do I install the Xposed Framework? I tried to after flashing, then turning the Fire off and then fastbooting, so then the Xposed Installer was saying the files were outdated.
[Fire General] Vlasp:
The newer CM builds autoboot without having to fastboot boot, so you should be able to do my guide. Just update to the 11/22 build.

[Fire General] adtamez:
Once I flashed the xposed framework through TWRP and rebooted, a system update appeared to be installing, so I got scared and power off the tablet by holding down the power button for a little while. I think this is the first time that I saw the horizontal yellow line of the system update actually moving.

Since I rooted and hid the update files and also renamed them, I have seen the screen of a system update when i reboot but I don't recall the yellow mine ever moving and of course nothing happens and I have stayed on 5.0.1.

So since I shut down the tablet I just booted into fastboot, go back into TWRP, factory treat and than restore a backup I made.

Have any of you experienced a system update after flashing the xposed framework? Is it normal and nothing will be updated?

Thank you. I really appreciate your support
[Fire General] Pond-life:
On the screen where it says it might take 10 minutes...? mine does that whenever I wipe the cache in twrp or do anything else of note in there.
[Fire General] adtamez:
Yes, on that screen. And yes, I noticed that mine also does the same thing as you say but I don't recall ever seeing the yellow line moving (filling in). I think it just says it might take 10 minutes but the line stays white and within a minute or so it goes away. But this time, the yellow line was moving and taking longer for that screen to go away.

Flashing the xposed framework shouldn't affect at lot, right? it doesn't make sense. It should unhide the OTA's flash, etc.

And while we are at it, which framework should I use? I used sdk_22 but since is 5.0.1 shouldn't we use sdk_21?

Thank you!
[Fire General] tonyt3rry:
It does that, have you ever seen stock android come up with the android is upgrading apps / optimising when you do a OTA and it rebuilds the apps that's all that screen is I've seen it happen on mine and had no OTA updates
[Fire General] Pond-life:
Mine has definitely filled at times, maybe sometimes it's just quick, besides who stares at it at that point :D

I'm assuming xposed is using googles meaning of 5.1.1 not Amazons for which I think even their Fire OS 5.0.1 was based on 5.1.1 android. But, I've never used xposed....
[Fire General] adtamez:
Yes, I have. True, I figured it was something like that but it just got me by surprise that it was taking longer and don't remember ever seeing the yellow line moving that I do not have a very good memory hehe.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Hahaha, I cannot avoid staring at it and freaking out that it will update and loose root :p

Oh, i didn't think about xposed using google's. I guess that makes sense as why to use framework sdk_22.

I'll give it another try tonight and let you guys know how it went. Update or not update, yellow line moving, xposed working, etc hehe.

Thank you all
[Fire General] adtamez:
Ok. So you were right. All is good and xposed installed with no problem or amazon system update.

I fastboot to TWRP, flashed xposed framework sdk_22 and reboot. The system update screen came up and the yellow line starting to move. It did take a while to finished. But as you told me, there was no actual amazon system update happening. Probably it was the apps updating and taking a while since ART. Then installed XposedInstaller.apk (the material design one) and greenify (paid version too). All is working to perfection.

Hey guys, I have something for you all to try. There is a version of the Xposed application made by an unofficial source that is in Material Design, and even better, it might be able to install the firmware without the use of FlashFire/a custom recovery. Can you all use the Xposed Uninstall zip here and then install the app found here? It would be greatly appreciated if you guys could test out this app. If it works, I will update the OP with newer instructions. Good luck if you try the install!
