*Yes, Unlocking bootloader will void warranty

*I flashed stock ROM after unlocking bootloader, It did not relock bootloader, So I guess reflashing stock ROM won't relock bootloader.

*You can get Stock ROMs from Asus Site. Zenfone Selfie Stock ROMs HERE

Hi

Sorry to post here again but I did not really find a better thread to post.

I successfully flashed the prerooted system linked above and also rooted the phone this way and installed twrp.

Now my phone tells me that there is an update from Asus and I am not sure what to do.

I guess I should nit just dirty flash the update but what else? I would love to get the update. Do I need to flash everything again? And just wait until the prerooted version is available under the link above? Is it save to dirty flash this way?

Regards

If you're talking about the pre-rooted ROMs on the discovery guide, robot_head is the OP. And from there, you can install Nougat unofficial LineageOS. I use it as my daily. There was issues with network drops, but they have been sorted out.

After I enter the TO: line I used to just press the down arrow(mobile 5.0) to go to the text body, now when I do it, it just scrolls the page down leaving me in the TO line. I have searched the forums, pressed every button and combo of buttons and the only way to get to the text body is to touch the screen. Anybody have this small inconvience too?

Hey guys,

Just bought a VS986(verizon) from ebay, Seller assumed it was a bad screen/lcd causing a blank screen. I just finished replacing the lcd and screen and still have a black screen, i'm assuming it the motherboard?

it powers up, the phone makes a clicking sound when I touch the screen and i've even managed to access the keypad on the phone somehow (can hear the button tones). i've tried a factory reset, but without a display it's useless..

any thoughts OR does someone have a MB they wanna sell?

Audax L Rom is already de-knox-ed.

here is the link for the updated launcher just install the apk works fine now you can customise where the apps are placed

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-1-1-4-2473549-android-apk-download/

for those of you who hate the row of the shield hub just go to settings then go to apps and disable shield hub reboot and it's gone

After the update you can't use a third party launcher as default home screen however you can install it and run it but not use it as default. sideload launcher still works fine!

[Shield Android TV General] Beefheart:
Sorry, can you elaborate here. How is it not possible? Do you mean an alternative launcher can't force itself as the default, and therefore runs fine but as soon as you press the home button Leanback kicks in again? Or do you simply mean the likes of HALauncher no longer appears as a Leanback tile once installed? It will be easy to fix the latter.

Either way I'll simply do what I do now once Marshmallow is released, namely freeze Leanback launcher and remove it from the equation. Awful thing which offers little to nothing in the way of customisation. I'm surprised it hasn't got an Apple logo on it, like most things Google do these days.
[Shield Android TV General] ShadowRii:
after installing the latest Android launcher you can install other launchers like HALAUNCHER and you can open it but you cannot set it as default launcher when pressing home button

Installed CM 13.0 on my phone and it is very stable, smooth and the battery life is decent. Best custom ROM I have tried yet to date.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORD MJ:
I'm asking this question because I want input from users who did upgrade and I'm not sure if I need the upgrade or not.

I'm currently going by the logic: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I'm quite happy with how Android L with the stock Kernel works on my device and after looking at the features that Google advertises for M I discovered that I can live without most of them.

I'm mostly interested in the new battery management system, app permissions, overall performance improvements in apps and general usage and some misc things like the new copy/paste thingy.

So let's say that of all the above, I'm mostly interested in the new battery management system. How well does it in you experience work? How much more usage do you get out of your phone? Do the new Doze and App Standby features really work as well as Google advertises them?

Also how stable is Android M on the Nexus 4? This is the main thing that is keeping me from upgrading. I would rather stay on stock then get a few new features that may or may not work well or even worse, get a phone that crashes every 5 minutes.

I'm currently looking to use the Pure Nexus Project ROM (because I want the pure Google experience) and the TAURUS Kernel (heard a lot of good things about this Kernel and it works well with the ROM I've chosen by the reports of some users).

So what do think? Is it worth it to upgrade to M or should I wait for the next major Android version?

Thank you for reading.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohsinkhan35:
I have been using One Of A Kind ROM (OCT 31, Build) and it has been rock solid for me. My phone's battery definitely lasts longer than stock Lollipop ROM. We are talking a couple of hours extra. The Doze feature works well, there is very little battery drain on standby. You will see that from battery stats. You will be waiting for a while until next iteration of Android. As you know Google has stopped supporting Nexus 4, it will be at least few weeks to a month before we get anything going for our beloved Nexus 4. Even then, the stability won't be guaranteed.

I think there are a few stable ROMs out there. Back up everything and give it a try. Worst case scenario, you go back to what you had.

I tried M, and I am not going back to Lollipop.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArt.:
Yes, you should. Doze makes a difference for me, and the permission stuff is always useful to have. If you find yourself confortable with stock L, then you should flash "stock M", which is, in my opinion: Fake Nexus ROM.

I had same doubts one month ago, and I tried with a few ROMs out here, searching for stability, battery life, without compromising performance. I stopped on the ROM I linked you, try it!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORD MJ:
Thank you both for your input.

I have decided to not upgrade for the time being.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy0777:
It does have noticeable improvements, the system is smoother, battery life is longer (you should probably install Grennify to further improve the new Doze mode and App Standby functionalities),

and it comes with app permission control.

With regard to stablization, I have been using the PureNexusProject rom and the TAURUS kernel for nearly a month, no reboot no crash, no bizarre behaviors, everything seems fine and I really enjoy it.

I personally recommand you to try it, anyway it's the new Android!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoveSick55:
I'm loving android M, Doze is really working to me!

So I think you should give it a try.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArt.:
Why?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORD MJ:
For a number or reasons. It's mostly that I'm happy how things are working right now and I don't have time to upgrade. Also, I don't have enough space to fully backup my apps.

Great battery life on the Z00A here. I get between 5.75-7 hours of sot with about a days use without airplane mode or data turned off.

Biggest con is that their keyboard is buggy and if I try to add in a missed word in a sentence it will add it to the end and can take a few times to get it to add into the right spot or if I try to delete a word it deletes the last word even though the cursor is behind the word it deleted. The word prediction while swiping is rather poor also.

Pros; cheaper than others

Cons; not that cheap. cheaply built. Build quality really is @%!&. various problems, ear receiver sound, gps and gyroscope, battey drains, over heating (while not charging), camera slow to take photos and HORRIBLE white balance, cant turn off shutter sound on Japanese kernel even though its a sim-free device X_X"

Repair takes forever and comes in worse shape than it was before.

Updating ASUS apps only makes the phone lag more.

at least I can disable most of the stuff and choose not to update it.

Android is still stuck on 5.0 WHY!?!?! 2016, Hellllloo~
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
The topic was more supposed to be about the software than the phone as a whole, but whatever, it's all good.

Regarding not being able to turn off the shutter sound with Japanese firmware, that's because that is the law in Japan - presumably to try and stop pervy guys from taking surreptitious snaps of schoolgirls and office ladies on trains. My gripe with the models sold in Japan is more the pricing - we get hiddeously ripped off, paying near double the US prices. That's why I got an imported model - sacrificing a few LTE bands is worth it for the saving (and the added bonus of no shutter sound). Personally have had no problems with build quality or overheating on mine - sure, it is not premium build materials, but satisfactory for the price paid.

I am fairly satisfied with the current firware (.136 on the Z008) and was having a few issues with CM13 which keep me from using it at the moment. The one big problem that I have with stock is still the RAM management and/or memory leaks. It soon drops to under 300MB free of the 2GB, and recently often falls to near 200MB and suffers noticeable lag and stuttering at that point. Never have that problem with CM, which always keeps plenty of RAM available and is very smooth. 1.7 GB of RAM occupied with nothing much actively running is piss poor.
