Well you are welcome to one of mine - I must have about 20 from old phones, tablets, cameras, bluetooth devices etc ;)

You are right though, no harm in doing it really, although adding too many toggles in the settings menus can become a bit confusing for those less technically inclined users (like my wife). But I'm not against it, just think that if ASUS devs' time is limited then it isn't really necessary
[ZenFone 2 General] deda20:
1-X64 OS

2-dark and light themes overall Google already supplied them

3-removable bloatware

4-enhanced camera
[ZenFone 2 General] MatteXperiaU:
it's simple. android stock is the way. but that's impossible.
[ZenFone 2 General] cmendonc2:
Asus gets paid to put the bloatware on their phones, so it brings the price down to the budget of consumers. Seems reasonable to me, since all of it can be disabled or removed using TI.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ksagrande:
Hey guys, please lets try to make this topic a little bit more organized by not repeating the same things as everybody else like improve battery life and remove bloat.

[MENTION=6922370]ASUS_Khang[/MENTION]

One feature worth improving is ZenMotion. Using gestures in the screen is really helpfull. I'd like to have more shortcuts. A way to customize the shortcuts maybe? instead of the current letters, I'd love to be able to use an easier gesture like an "L", or something like ">". Also, it would be amazing if we could trigger actions instead of just opening apps. The ability to trigger the flashlight or pause/resume a song through gestures without turning the screen on would be a HUGE plus!
[ZenFone 2 General] say99:
well it is true, but a blob free pack is definetly better thn blob full pack

its reasonable to put those blobs which can actually be utilised

just a remove of never ever used blobs aka asus apps will make this rom damn better

those who don't want to root are mere victims of a blob full pack

I am on bliss ryt now so it actually doesn't matters to me ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] Sammboi101:
here are minor things that zenfone needs

Zenfone 2 ze551ml needs permissions manager it also needs to make it so that the phone can be on silent and no vibrate and still receive led notifications also the led lights needs settings to change colour of your choice, also it needs split screen, what I also found annoying is that you cannot uninstall the bloatware that comes with the phone, also it would be great if you could install apps that need root access but in order to give it root access it needs the permission enabled that way voiding warranty would not be possible because it woold be part of the stock rom, I also that we should have more features where we can use apps that require root access without rooting the phone.
[ZenFone 2 General] Grid4:
A much more robust rom which is not susceptible to minor system changes by root apps as I see list of bugs is quite long.

May be offtopic but more space on webstorage and ability to work with g drive in sync:rolleyes:.

Thanks for listening.
[ZenFone 2 General] cmendonc2:
I think in Marshmallow this is built in, and apps ask for permissions as they require their use.
[ZenFone 2 General] livewire168:
Yep it's built in, that's one of the features Google announced on i/o. Including doze and some other stuffs.
[ZenFone 2 General] djfirestorm:
Ya same...for the size of the battery (mha) it seems to get less battery than devices with even smaller batteries. It is defiantly a problem on this phone that Android M in itself will help.
[ZenFone 2 General] harshp542:
is there any thread for asus zenfone 2 laser ze550kl as i cannot find it anywhere on the forum...please help!!
[ZenFone 2 General] Biologos:
Well, for my two bits, I have a few major issues that I would like to see solved and a few improvements that would be good to implement.

0. The OS should be 64bit, of course!

1. I have encountered a rather rare bug (according to google) in the interface between my Zenfone2 and my Sony Smartwatch 2. Specifically, when the two are connected, if I remove them from range without first disconnecting them, the Zenfone occasionally semi-freezes. Tap to wake mostly works but the screen is unresponsive. A few times it was unresponsive enough that I had to hard reset the phone. This bug appears to be more frequent when PC Link is also in use. Also, less importantly, after breaking the connection, it may take a few attempts to reestablish it (but this is probably on the Smartwatch side).

2. As others have said, it would be nice to be able to remove and reinstall ASUS apps without having to root. Additionally, a simple way to root and unroot, without resorting to third party exploits, would be appreciated (hide it under some layers of settings if you want to prevent the uninitiated from doing it).

3. I would really appreciate it if the launcher was unlocked in all rotate positions.

4. It would be nice if the backup app had some way (even some non-trivial one) of interfacing with Titanium Backup and/or other backup apps. That would really streamline things for many people, I think.

5. The Asus apps take a lot of space and resources. I am not saying "more than they should", but I am sure their efficiency can be improved.

6. USB OTG should work more intuitively, with all file systems (especially NTFS), with full read/write access. External storage should also have full read/write access to both the user and the apps, and apps should be freely moveable between the two.

7. I don't know if the hardware permits it or not, but if so, it would be nice for Bluetooth to be able to connect to more than one device at the same time (for instance, a smartwatch and a car's entertainment system).

8. The camera app is very nice, but it can be improved with extra functions and faster image processing time.

9. Multi-window would be nice, at least for some apps.

10. Optimise the code for miracast, as at the moment I am experiencing about half a second lag even when sending photos to my TV. Ideally, the lag should be unnoticeable, to permit gaming on the big screen.

11. Ability to mount phone as an external drive and not just as an MTP or Camera. Even my 5+ year Sony Ericsson x10i can do this!
[ZenFone 2 General] sangalaviral:
I would say if they can include VoLTE and VoWIFI. I hope there are no hardware limitations.
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
I believe that kind of stuff is mostly software/carrier specific. Our devices need to go through certification for it, just like using the bands for some carriers, and the additional step of software handing-off and/or configuration once there.
[ZenFone 2 General] mattwheat:
1. Multi window is built into Android 6.0. If it doesn't show up in the Developer Options then change Build Prop. line "ro.build.type" from "user" to "userdebug".

2. Full launched rotation can be unlocked with Xposed installer.

3. I have full read write capabilities thru OTG and external sdcard for apks and myself. Don't know why you wouldn't either.

4. And as far as backup goes seems a little much R&D to make it smoother to sync with Titanium when not everyone uses Titanium to back up. I myself use "ZipMe" to create a flushable zip file of all my apks so I can flash it like gapps when loading a new Rom.

1_)camera app must be improve. especially video functions very very bad. this devices weakest point is video functions... toshiba bsi sensor supports 240 fps... but slow motion laggy and maximum is 1/4!!! İt must be 1/8 and smooth. because sensor can handle it. when i was using samsung galaxy s3 i9300 with an port from xda developers stock based custom rom i was using 1/8 smooth slow mo experience..

[ZenFone 2 General] mastermarkofroms:
I disagree I think the ZenUI looks Better what I think they need to do is just add more themeing options to the Phone instead of getting rid of most of there Zenui.
[ZenFone 2 General] maahmd:

[ZenFone 2 General] say99:
I use nova launcher

zenui is definitely good even I like it but the only I hate about is that the icon on homescreen remains the same size even though I am using lower dpi

that's why I even mentioned in a recent post that yeah it good to have useful things but the things that most peeps don't use are a waste of ram as well as memory

hope you understand
[ZenFone 2 General] mastermarkofroms:
Well there are ways they can make zenUI better without making it more resource intensive Don't get me wrong I have used Nova Launcher prime but I feel like zenUI just has a better feel to it even though Nova Launcher has more customizeations

Me too, the best Asus can do is to offer an stock android experience/performance and allow to full un-install non-stock personalization, should be the norm.

[ZenFone 2 General] ZF2_Guppy:
I'm new to all of this, so if what I'm suggesting is stupid, please feel free to light my post on fire. :)

1a. Splendid should be able to drastically reduce screen brightness for browsing in complete darkness. With the already existing Bluelight Filter, this should be a great addition.

1b. Make screen brighter? Not sure if this is possible, but outdoor brightness is horrible.

1c. When auto-brightness is on, make it so that it can go to the brightest/dimmest possible. I always have to disable the auto-brightness if I want to access the brightest or darkest.

2. Customisable ZenMotion gestures. Much like how ES File Explorer's gestures work. Or simply add more preset gestures.

3. The battery icon, I hate it because it takes up space (I like minimalist design/layouts). Please add an option for displaying just the percentage. Or the percentage within the battery icon. I'm not sure if the percent in icon comes with Android 6 though.

4. I hate to repeat, but long-pressing volume buttons to change tracks would be EXTREMELY important to audiophiles. It beats reaching your hand upwards for the buttons on the headphones.

5. Ability to encrypt/decrypt files? Not necessary but nice to have when .hiding is not enough. Y'know, because of reasons. ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] baonxxx:
60fps on 1080p recording maybe ?
[ZenFone 2 General] muratr03:
1. Zenfone 2's Rear Camera should support 60 fps and 120 fps because the sensor of Zenfone 2's rear camera(Toshiba T4K37) supports 60 fps on 1080p,720p and supports 120 fps on VGA

2. Camera App of Zenfone 2 should have a custom presets menu in manual mode.

[ZenFone 2 General] Captain Danger:

[ZenFone 2 General] xCalibur15:

[ZenFone 2 General] raynan:
I'd also love to be able to change the default mode when opening the camera app.
[ZenFone 2 General] zephemeros:
One simple thing I'd like to see is the ability to enable the blinking notification light while the phone is charging. Right now when you plug the phone in, the charging light comes on but when you get a notification, it doesn't override the charging light and instead it just keeps glowing solid yellow/orange. So I have no way of knowing that I've gotten a notification while the phone is plugged in without actually waking up the phone. Also, notification vibration seems spotty. I would like for the phone to vibrate whenever -any- notification appears.

Asus you might want to take a cue from samsung about hardware and software/os optimization. I just recently acquired a samsung galaxy a8 with a 3050mah battery and this is what I got from its battery life. (See attached photos)
[ZenFone 2 General] i snort flour:
You might want to stop telling Asus to take cues from Samsung or they just might start locking down their phones like Samsung is which is making development difficult and is currently causing the development community to jump ship on Samsung devices. Samsung had nice phones but are going to fall as more and more people want to customize their phones these days with better os, kernels and keeping up to date with the newest technology after factory development has stopped or fallen too far behind.

Also the whole copy parts of their os idea you have is impossible as Samsung os is closed source.

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

I want a factory pre rooted rom with an unlocked bootloader to show the development community they have their support. The development community can do a better job at providing current, more stable, higher customizable roms with more efficient and better functioning kernels than Asus can do on their own. This is exactly why the oneplus and xiaomi companies and gone from a nobody to world players in just a few years.
[ZenFone 2 General] livewire168:
I only told asus to take cue from samsung on certain specifics which is optimization. Locking certain things that samsung do does not correlate with hardware and software optimization.
[ZenFone 2 General] i snort flour:
Still without an open source code there is nothing they can do or even look at. Hardware can not be optimized after you build the phone only the software can be optimized.

Hardware: the physical pieces of which your phone is made up of

Software: the coding the controls the hardware of your phone to make it functional.

Nobody builds a phone with the intentions of poor battery life so it's not like they aren't already trying to achieve the best battery life they can. This is where the development community comes in handy as people can spend more time working on specific devices for a longer amount of time. Companies like Asus can't sit there and pay top dollar for their groups of devs to spend hundreds of hours tweaking kernels and the os for each device they produce for best results or these phones would cost thousands of dollars.

After all this is a low end medium budget phone. The Samsung your talking about was a high end budget phone when it was new.
[ZenFone 2 General] android lover 2000:
You keep on comparing samsung and asus... Dont forget both are at different levels and different in their approach samsung makes phone closed source and hard to develope for more over their battery are first to ruin so be ready to replace your a8 ' s battery in a year and dont make me nag again about the lag u can easily see in any samsung device their optimisation are not even close to what google does with their nexus , even xiaomi and cm are better than many companies when it comes to optimisations

Go get a samsung you samboy.....and btw, sot depends on what have you been using your phone heavy games give you low but just reading and stuff gives you more, mind it
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
camera camera camera........ device's toshiba sensor supports super sslow motion (120-240fps) but there is only 1/4 slow mo feature and very blurry. video functions and quality very very bad. i think asus engineers very talentless or very incompetent.

For $269 (64gb hd/4gb ram) I expected this phone to be made out of solid gold, do my taxes, wipe my butt and fund my bank account while I sit on the couch eating potato chips drinking beer. I mean come on Asus I'm not asking for all that much from your amazing device for close to low end device prices.
[ZenFone 2 General] luisoman2000:
Nothing wrong with admiring the good things a competitor has, that definitely does not make him a "samboy". We all know that this phone has battery drain issues, so asking for a bit more optimization isn't out of the question.

[ZenFone 2 General] Ritik17:
Lol, no one can install 64 bit application software or OS in a 32 bit hardware. Our device hardware support 64 bit, Zenfone's 2 OS is 32 bit and kernel is 64 bit. But ASUS might release 64 bit OS for our Zenfone 2.
[ZenFone 2 General] i snort flour:
I'm not trying to start anything here but can you please tell me about these battery draining issues in more detail because I just don't see them. On average out of 24 hours uptime I usually get about 6-7 sot (unless I use slacker radio at work which obviously drops sot just like gaming does). Normal use with no airplane mode or disabling data while screen is on. I don't receive calls all that much and when I do they are under a minute so maybe it lies there. I'm just really curious why people are having this issue. This phone beats all my previous and gifted phones I have owned or bought for others over the years.

This is the list of smart phones that I can remember.

oneplus two 5.5-6.5 hrs sot @ 24hrs

Xiaomi mi3w 3.5-5.5 hrs sot @ 24hrs

Samsung II i747 less than 3hrs sot @ 24hrs

Samsung II i777 less than 3hrs sot @ 24hrs

Samsung centura don't remember

Samsung proclaim don't remember

lg illusion don't remember

(Oneplus two and Xiaomi have a lot more sensors so it's no surprise there)

That guy does have a point though. I think Samsung just uses a custom governor which is like a cross between interactive and power save which lags horribly during intensive tasks(I always put custom kernels on my Samsung phones for this exact reason). It's really not a good solution for battery saving and you could already get these optimizations from people who make custom kernels and ask them to include a tweaked power save governor.

Yank active governor with fiops I/O scheduler is a better choice for good power saving and a non lag interactive. More geared towards power saving.

Zzmoove is another good governor if it works properly. It's kinda balanced

Hells active is great for performance over battery saving.

Interactive is balanced

On demand is balanced

Power save is strictly for battery life and lags your system by running lowest frequencies and cores it can

Performance is great for performance but horrible on battery life.

Been using H2OS for a while now. Even installed the OTA update. Everything is super smooth and battery life is pretty darn good.

Now I'd like to go back to CyanogenMod 12.1 (and maybe try CyanogenMod 13) but every time I flash another ROM I will have no phone signal and WiFi will not work at all.

Trying to find a carrier it will result in: Error searching for networks

Clicking the WiFi icon which is toggled off will result in nothing happening

I tried to flash a ROM and the suitable modem via fastboot flash modem

Tried ROM's like CyanogenMod (stable, nightly, 11), OxygenOS and so on but all of them show: Unknown
