Sorry for dragging up the subject guys, I'm a little late to the party so i want to ask, what is the best camera app for cm13 in your opinion ?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Nightwish1976:
I'm on CM13 with mm blobs at the moment. Any idea how can I disable WiFi networks available notification on the lockscreen? I want it on the status bar but not on the lockscreen. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but in the previous CM13 versions I managed to make it show only on the status bar. Any idea?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] zanitos1991:
Go to settings, location, tap 3 dots? And disable WiFi scan
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Nightwish1976:
I don't want to disable WiFi scan, I just want the notification off my lockscreen. I need it in the status bar.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pprakash:
Settings -> Notifications -> When device is locked . Select Don't show notifications at all.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Zenns:
Blobs are binary files from Asus that are needed to for our phone to use certain functionality the difference between lp and mm is mostly the version and improvement to work best for the ROM version which is why certain functions works after mm blobs and battery life is better
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] michele.degano:
Yesterday I have update the bootloader and the recovery twrp from LP to MM ... make a full clean and try to reinstall CM13 nightly from 09/13 but every time that finish to install and make a reboot, return back always to recovery without starting the system.

The only ROM that i can install is AICP and DU in the MMbootloader version.

This is correct or I have make an mistake on the procedure ?

Now, I must forgive CM13 or I must only use the release on link in the first post where is writed the procedure for MMbootloader update or I must install only the AICP and DU ROM ?

I like so much CM and now I don't know what make ?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
You cannot upgrade nightlies once you have MM blobs installed. Those only work with the LP bootloader and blobs.

Devs, I suspect there are quite a few users making this same mistake. Of course, none of them read the board. But my point, which I made earlier, in my view, the LP based nightlies should be dropped and MM based one should take its place and become mandatory. Even if the flashing process requires more than newbie knowledge. After all, this is a development board.

What are the advantages of mm blobs??
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
OMG! Look back 3 posts! Why does no one read the thread?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jupucino01:
From a couple of days the signal disappears. Why?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] BaduX:
Um, can i use 4g on sim 2 when change to cm13 ? Or its same with stock rom ?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] extreme.samir:
no you cant use 4g on 2nd sim slot. Its same as stock in cm 13, cm 14 . ☺
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] BaduX:
Okay thanks..
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] broomer68:
There is no chip for anything else than speech on sim2.

I am aware of the problems CM13 but since I installed three months ago I never had this kind of problem , but only a few days . I have to reboot the phone. So we avoid unnecessary answers
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] quarterbreed:
Is it OK to use cyandelta to update cm13 with mm blobs? Im guessing it's not but would love to know.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
No, in fact it's not even recommended for the nightlies.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] quarterbreed:
Awesome thx. I find the mm blobs pretty stable tbh. Was wondering if there was updates for it that's all.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
I think there won't be many updates if any. As the devs are working on cm14 right now.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] quarterbreed:
That's what I kinda figured. I'm gonna stay on this till cm14 comes around. It seems pretty solid.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] leoarten:
Hi all,

I know it has been discussed many many times the MM blobs update, I have been following this and other threads about it but I am still very confused. Maybe I am stupid, So I would kindly ask if someone could clarify a few things to me.

1) I need to flash the MM Blobs via fastboot/ADB right?

2)Do I need to change TWRP Version? Do I need to change anything on that?

3) How safe is to flash MM Blobs script? (I know no one can guarantee that my device wont be bricked. I know the risks but whats the successful rate so far?)

4) once its done I would then install nightly builds as per usual (from 09/09/16 onwards) right + gapps? or do I need to keep on flashing the MM everytime I install a new nightly (this is where i am getting confused cuz I've read on many different threads that flashing MM blobs is not recommended for nightly builds).

5) I've purchased my device in Brazil (ZE551ML - 2.3GHz / 4Gb RAM / 32Gb). I've read many people complaining about sensors not working. Does anyone know if it has been fixed on latest build? any ETA on that?

I do apologise for asking again, but I am really struggling to understand how this whole thing works.

Cheers,
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
I can at least answer the last 2 questions for you. The nightlies are for the original LP version not for the MM version at all.

I believe the sensor problem is going to have to wait till Asus pushes out their fix for it.

And I believe 1 and 2 are both yes.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
1. Yes.

2. Yes. Must use the provided TWRP which is an unofficial build.

3. How long is a piece of string? It depends on so many other factors, like which host OS you're using etc. If not confident, then don't, unless you are happy to brick it. This is clearly stated in first post and applies to any modding but people don't know or care how to read, it seems.

4. This is a fork and not part of the nightlies track. You must not update with nightlies builds once on MM blobs, firmware, bootloader and TWRP. GAPPS do never need to be installed, provided you did that the very first time you flashed CM13. Again, read or search the board. Yesyes, I sound like a broken record, but 90% of questions asked have already been answered several times. Like this my answer to you now. I find it disrespectful that people don't read. This is also in post no 1.

5. Brazil. Sorry. It's a budget device.

Also, someone signaled that the reference to one of the img files in the script for the 551. Double check and correct as needed. And, see my post about using Win 10 as the adb host OS.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
That thank you is for what you said in #4
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cris_vincent:
I am currently on the latest build on the official CM13 and I am planning to switch to the MM blobs. Will I lose my apps/data if I switch?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] broomer68:
No, unless you need to unbrick.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Another question, I used twrp-3.0.2-0-Z00A when I installed the official CM13 in July and saw that the twrp in the index is TWRP-3.0.2-M1-Z00A.img. Is there a difference between the two?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] domacikolaci:
If you scroll up just a tad mate, you will see the answer....
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] VastoBrian:
Awesome work devs. Can't wait to see what you have planned for CM14. I haven't lost cell signal not even once in an entire week using cm13 with MM blobs. An issue i'm facing though is with the phone app, i know i know gapps had an issue before with the phone app and indeed i've ensured its set as default dialer and i don't get a reboot when a call comes through or when i make one, but i've tried flashing nano, pico and stock and i'm facing the same issue of my phone not lighting up the display once i'm done with a call. Triple tapping the screen or pressing the power button twice turns on the display though. Don't know where my reseller got my phone from maybe it's from Brazil since it seems the issue is with the sensors specifically the proximity sensor. Another issue i have is minor though and only noticeable when in a dark place, i've mentioned the issue before in Q&A though i forgot about it when ambient display was added to CM13 with LP blobs, don't know how to put it as my screen backlight light is not in sync with the display. When turning off the display in a dark place the screen has like two stages of switching off with the last being a grey light going off. That's all.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] timbernot:
Been on this a couple of days , thank you .

Signal been great

Battery too.

Now my fave :good:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] fonetyk:
What screen-on-time are you guys getting with the MM blobs build?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Ashtrix:
Still rocking the LP nightlies for now...

However this HEVC thing is not properly played on this HW afaik, Tried a movie on the SDcard and It lagged terribly and the AC3 decoding (not the same file but another TV show one ~300MB, I guess this didn't lag which was in the SDcard, sorry didn't remember exactly) doesn't work with MX on SW decoder. Tried the movie file on internal storage and the video was lagging a bit less, Is this because of the blobs/shims, ASUS not posting proper sources ? Guys on MM CM can you guys replicate the same ? Thanks.

P.S - File Size - 1.5GB HEVC with AAC & AC3 doesn't work with Audio on MXPlayer SW, HW is not supported.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] crisvincent:
were you able to play HEVC videos before you switch to LP nightlies? because, I think, the hardware on zenfone 2 doesnt support HEVC (10bit) videos. that's why there is a HW not supported message.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] xjammetx:
HEVC works well even hevc 10bit, but its via S/W decoding.

http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=777642

thats what I tried last time.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] thariq06:
As mention in the web,its change from h.264 to h.265.. as i know, intel only support h.264 decode,not h.265 right?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] xjammetx:
Software/cpu decoding can handle it. Even H264 hi10p is not HW decodable. SW can handle it. We have the processing power here guys.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] thariq06:
Yup, but using mx player,sometimes its become lag... ??
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] krasCGQ:
AC-3 audio decoding support is disabled by default on CM. I heard some tricks to enable them, but it requires system modification.

By the way, H.265/HEVC video decoding on our device is a joke. I tried to play a 4 secs splash video encoded in HEVC 1080p 10bit (without audio, and bit rate around 3Mbps) and it like I played 8 secs video LMAO.

Edit: Even HEVC2 (720p) re-encoded version of an subbed-anime played like hell on MX; VLC was unable to play the video (but the audio did).
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] michele.degano:
After a full wipe and a reinstallation of the version 09/17 plus gapps, now I have always a FC of Themes. This is a common issue or only mine issue ? If only mine, how I can resolve ?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
Just search this thread for "themes"
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Sayan44:
So with MM blobs we will still be able to receive the Nightlies right? Or there will be separate nightly for LP and MM version? Please someone clarify this, I am poised to update to MM blobs.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] roach9:
No nightlies on MM, which is a shame because the 0903 Unofficial build is giving me a lot of grief.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Sayan44:
Dayummm. CM 14 then
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Sh4rpi3:
My thoughts on CM 13 MM blobs:

- Battery is better, not doubled like others say but pretty close to it.

- Wi-Fi and Data drops are now almost non-existent

- Obviously we are now able to use more camera features such as Super Resolution, etc.

TL;DR: It's better, but not by a substantial amount. Can't wait for CM14
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
It's been clarified a few times already. The nightlies are for LP only. There probably won't be many updates for MM as the devs are working on cm14.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] domenicocortez:
Its seem hard to upgrade from lollipop to marshmallow bootloader/blobs, but it will be more easy to jump from lollipop to nougat?

Since december we are in beta with cm13, we will stay in beta for another year with cm14?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] xjammetx:
.

well, nightlies you mean.

bleeding edge bro, bleeding edge.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] roach9:
So, I updated to MM BL, Unofficial CM13, and I am getting a lot of glithces. Phone restrating in the middle of the night and not fulling bootting back up.

Am I screwed?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] thariq06:
Just based rom,but the blobs for cm14 still MM blobs..as cm13,its based on LP blobs eventhough..
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
Try a factory reset. If that doesn't do it, try reinstall.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

N will use the MM bootloader, so you either do it now or when N comes out.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] roach9:
I just did that.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] fonetyk:
[MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION]

Do you plan on releasing an update for the MM bootloader based build, or is the current release based on cm-13.0-20160903 the last one that there will be?

Thank you!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] andreayaquil:
Is it required to be on stock rom first in order to have the cm13+mm blobs or can we go directly if we already have the latest cm13 build? Thanks for the answer :)
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
You can do it from either
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] domenicocortez:
Lp hack + cm13 or mm hack + cm14, its always a beta rom...

My idea is why bootloader for cm14 will be more easy to install or more flexible than cm13 bootloader with mm blobs???

Soon we'll receive a "no future" update for cm13 or what?

I just ask question, dont want to be aggressive, but whats next??
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Ashtrix:
Guys It's pretty simple - Go MM Blobs based CM13 if you want to try out Stock ASUS ROM or some extra benefits, But lose the update channel from official side, Unofficial updates can't be guaranteed since they are occupied with the Nougat src + MM blobs.

CM14 ? Well that's bleeding edge but has it's negatives - no Xposed (I can't live w/o Xposed so I'll wait for N Xposed) + Expect a huge wave of bugs to the squashed, remember the CM13 beta days ? This is not a Nexus so expect the same, Also if things get working w.o much issues regarding the CM 14, expect the LP CM Official build go dark, But I think that'd take time...Give a Spin to N-ify Xposed module too, Also I prefer MM recents to the N, Has more vision over apps (option is there in that module for either of them)

OT - Btw this HEVC issue is really annoying, can't make use of the much compressed and HQ format, Hope there's something possible from the SW kernel side (?), maybe some custom kernel implementation could help that lag.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] krasCGQ:
Little update:

I re-test HEVC2 720p video decoding on SW decoder and it works, with a little slowdown on some frames.

HEVC2 1080p is still like hell.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] michele.degano:
I don't found nothing ... but isn't a problem for me ... if I have this issue after a full wipe, will be that the issue isn't mine but from the rom not perfect ... just return back to AICP and I will try CM when will be corrected the themes FC.

A few screenshots on CM MM Blobs.

Approx 41 hrs total so far, been busy last few days;)

Including the few tweaks to my liking that would cause more drain, like another launcher , onscreen clock with ram , ram cleaner apps etc..

And here's something too..first time I let it drain so low, stayed on 14% and 7% battery a good while longer than others so battery will be slightly better next charge ;)

Oh, CM 13 and CM with MM blobs are good roms to trust and so is stock roms. Be careful out there folks , some custom roms pick up chips on bank cards in phone wallets , i did ask in the relevant threads when i encountered this error but was met with a wall of silence .

Also the modder tool by giovix does the job in minutes to get you prepared for bootloader CM MM with Blobs too. Which gives you the option to return to stock too ;)

like I said too, hevc 720p even if it's 10bit, will work, even 1080p works as long as its < ~40Mbit/s

hevc2 is too new, it is still on bleeding edge. Only "re-encode" groups use those.

btw

maybe this can help.

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/optimizing-h265hevc-decoder-on-intel-atom-processor-based-platforms
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] krasCGQ:
At first, it lagged like hell, even on 720p. Then, I grab another video and works fine; probably due to lower bit rate. However, it eats as many as H.264 Hi10P 1080p with 9+ Mbps VBR...

And: It's not 10-bit, but 12-bit! It fails to play video track on my PC with VLC!!

Edit: Sorry OT!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] tagilbo:
The "standard" cm13 nightly builds doesn't works with the new kernel and/or bootloader.

I'm right?

If the device find a new update, download and install it. Then restart only in recovery mode. :(

Or i'am noob? :D

Edit: Ok, i'm fully noob.

I don't want this fw anymore, but how to revert to cm13 without blobs?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jupucino01:
Post #8699 dowload file of LPbl. Put devices in fastboot mode->run update.Bat, run twrp.bat then reboot on recovery and flash nighlty update. Now you have downgrade from mm blobs to lp

Is it possible this issue caused by rom..? Because 2 days before i clear cache and dalvik, but twrp say "unable to mount storage" im on 8/18

Sorry for my bad english

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] gameeater:
If it is the official 6.0 mm it must use the official downgrade file site asus.

Just put in the internal memory and and install like an update

Copy from asus forums:

1) Download the downgrade firmware here: http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/

2) If the extension of the file is missing, add .zip to the end of the name

3) Plug your phone to the PC (using USB)

4) Copy the zip file to the root folder

5) Unplug the phone

6) The notification about update should appear

7) Confirm the update and wait
