Umm, let me explain what I meant there

I don't think you can remove asus boost. Why? They implement boost even on recent button, and notification panel. So that boost is chained somewhere in system activity :confused: welp

about apk things, say, you know about asus update app right? (let's forget about ota) What if you remove that? There's still "system update" on settings, but you won't be able to open them, hence I said it might broke something, so I simply type "disable" there, so somebody won't remove them w/o thinking *backup*

(I have a bad experience, asking someone, "what if they remove something", they did remove things for real, and broke things, they can't recover from it. I'm not forcing them to do that, just asking "what if" :silly: they mad at me, so what is definition of "ask"? )

Conclusion:

So, by disabling / removing apk that contain boost (I don't know, and I'm not going to find which apk), you can remove boost, but with something broken because it's linked somewhere. It might minor, not going to affect anything, or maybe annoying popup like "something is stopped working" everytime, or the best is "system ui is stopped working". Goodbye.

Since you have rooted your phone, have a custom recovery installed, just do what you want, like removing all asus thing on the your device, proceed with your own peril.

If something broken, it's your own fault, not me, not everyone else. :rolleyes:

How do I up the battery monitor refresh rate?

I'm messing with klwp and I find it really cool that battery life is shown by the actual total mA and the actual consumption in mA/h. I really like this feature but it only changes every 30 seconds. It has nothing to do with klwp as it uses what the systems give at a very fast rate. Is there a way to make it faster?

Can't do fastboot or recovery mode HELP

Please help, I need proffessional help.

Android Phone: ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0 (ROOTED)

Android Firmware: 5.0.2 Lollipop

Aim: To enter into Fastboot mode and Recovery Mode without problems

Situation: Recently installed TWRP Recovery in-app and through software, but when I try to enter in Fastboot Mode (HOLD POWER & VOLUMEUP) or even Recovery Mode (HOLD POWER & VOLUMEDOWN), I just end up in a hanged out ASUS Logo. I can't do anything except pulling out the battery myself and putting it back then booting the device through power button to boot it normally. I don't know if it's the problem with the model, or the phone's system itself, or it's just a bug, or a problem when I rooted my device through ADB.

(Note: When I rooted the device, I wasn't even able to see the blue "FASTBOOT MODE" when I tried it, I only saw the ASUS logo as well.)

For anyone who has any idea on what's going on with my device, please reply and help me. I really want to have the benefits of a rooted phone completly and I'm a new root user so I need assistance.

[HELP] need answers to some questions about updating

I just bought ZE550KL, have not added any account yet, bootloader at default. I want to install latest Android M official Asus update.

Asus website has the Android M firmware which is about 1.5 GB. The second step says Download device software and Update SOP (From “Manual” Item). What does this mean?

It's mentioned that Multi-user function won't be supported if the account is deleted. Please keep your account to continue usage. Is it talking about general user account or Google account?

According to above statement, after updating I can't add a new user, right?

I have not added any account yet. What will happen if I install the above firmware update now?

There is a OTA update link on XDA's index page: http://fota.asus.com/delta_package/...615_20160517-user-WW_Z00L-20160606/update.zip which is about 1GB. What is the difference between an OTA update and firmware update. I know that the 1.5GB firmware update is the latest one, but why the OTA is smaller?

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinchiu:
no display after new screens?

My Zenphone 2 laser ze551kl was working fine till I dropped it and broke the screen. The phone worked fine with the broken screen, no problems booting up or using any apps. I was still on lollipop as well, not rooted/unlocked.

I ordered a new screen off ebay and did the swap. When I power on the phone, nothing shows up on the display. However after awhile, I can feel the haptic feedback when I randomly tap the screen. I can also see the backlight is on sometimes. Unfortunately, I cannot put the old broken screen back on as it completely fell apart when I was removing it from the bezel. I assumed the new screen was broken so I returned it and ordered another one and I get the same result. I've checked the connectors many times and they are plugged in securely.

The phone also is detectable by "adb devices" if I hold down and power, give it a few seconds, then select the second item blindly for sideload. Looking for tips on how to proceed or troubleshoot.

help nd advice

as per one thread in xda

.

If you tried rooting you ZE550KL then you must tried unlocking your device using official unlocker tool and you may faced force close. So here is how to root you asus ZE550KL without unlocking bootloader..

Prerequisite:

Download Latest TWRP from twrp.me Download

Download latest SuperSu Binary Download

Install Adb drivers and proper setup adb and fastboot. If you dont know how search on Google.

Lil Presence of mind

Lets start...

1- Connect your phone and type these command.

Code:

adb devices

and if it shows your device then issue this command after that

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

your device will reboot in bootloader.

2- Go to the directory where you placed downloaded twrp.img. Open command prompt here (shift + right click).

3- Flash the downloaded recovery

Code:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

4- When it said "finished" and there is no error. Then type this and press volume - (down) before screen lit up.

Code:

fastboot reboot

5- If you did correctly then you will see the TWRP logo.

6- If not let device boot and when it finished boot type these commands

Code:

adb reboot recovery

7- When twrp boots first step is to make a full backup of all.

8- Then copy Update-SuperSu-*-*.zip to your sd card or internal memory via MTP (available when twrp boots n phone connected with pc). Flash it.

9- If twrp ask for su binary update say no. and reboot

10- Boom you're rooted!!

.
