* Your warranty is now void.

* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Instructions

First time flashing CyanogenMod 13.0 on your device, or coming from another ROM?

Download the zip(s).

Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)

Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).

Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

Broken Features / Known Issues

VIDEO ENCODER/DECODER ISSUES: This results in green lines on videos/pictures taken using the Intel HW encoder/decoder and other playback issues dependent on video formats. See the list below:

Snapchat: thin greeen line tends to appear on recorded videos for snapchat

Asus Pixelmaster Camera App: Super resolution mode does not work. Turning off "Optimizations" from settings clears up any green line issues.

Some video formats do not play as expected

FM Radio is unsupported.

audio is a little weird in Real Racing 3.

sim 2 cannot be disabled (this is true for all CM builds on non qualcomm hardware)

Other than Fugu (Nexus Player TV box) there are no Vendor released M x86/x86_64 builds in existance. You may experience some issues with GAPPS and some known apps not loading or working correctly. Below is a list of KNOWN apps that do not currently run on CM13 based x86 Zenfone 2 builds :

Ingress, Polaris Office, Chase Mobile, Showbox...

Other Issues?

Before posting on this thread, make sure of a few things:

You've utilized the search function of the forums. Nothing irritates me more than lazy people who do not search for an answer before asking or ask the same question over and over again.

If you are the only one having a problem. Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, reflash the rom/gapps and nothing else. Boot up and see if the problem persists.

Make sure your post is relevant to this thread. "I'm having problems rooting/unlocking" is NOT relevant here.

LOGS LOGS LOGS!!!! Use this: SysLog by Tortel

As the Zenfone2 has multiple models from multiple countries please include the following information in your report:

model #

CPU Speed / RAM Size

device state when errors occur (BT/wifi/nfc on ? On a call ? sitting idle on shelf ? )

method to reproduce if you've found something consistent

Recommend GAPPS for now as the updated x86 gapps. Our resident x86 GAPPS guru @deadman96385 has been working with the opengapps crew to keep these current for us.

Flashable Modem updates:

Currently only supported in jrior001's unofficial TWRP

May or may not work in others

** see this post for more info **

Intel stores some modem firmware in the OTA's in a file labeled "ifwi.zip"

These are flashable zips to receive the updated firmware while staying on custom ROMS

**THIS IS A ONE WAY PROCEDURE, JUST LIKE THE OTA's THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY

TO FLASH BACK TO EARLIER MODEM FIRMWARE, PROCEED WITH CAUTION**

IF you still wish to proceed, current flashable ifwi zips are available HERE for Z00A AND Z008
