Ok i'll give it a shot and let you know.

Update: Got two errors. trying the boot loader unlocked, got an error of "partition does not exist". and the second trying to flash the kernel the error was "image is not a boot image".

I ended up downgrading to KK and was able to flash TWRP and used the Asus boot loader unlock. It shows that it worked, but not sure. Tried flashing again and got the same errors. Its frustrating. I've got root,(only worked with KingRoot) and have a custom recovery, but cant seem to flash anything via fastboot because the common error is "partition doesn't exist". Anyone know how to resolve the error?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Hey,

So I guess our kernel and our system images aren't compatible with your device.

As I said, I don't have the device so I can't work on a port/fix for your device.

Anyway, looking our stock ROM, I only see support for devices A500CG, A501CG, A600CG and A601CG.

And I see your device has a Snapdragon chip. This would make easier for a developer to make a CyanogenMod for the device. But yeah, a developer need to own a device to make it.

-douglas
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TabascoTX:
Well it was worth a shot. Other than root and a recovery there isn't any development for the A500KL. Sucks cause its a really good phone. At least I was able to use Titanium Backup to get rid of a bunch of Asus junk.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] mavz31:
currently using the rom thanks!
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skghosh.mail:
From what I have heard, your rom seems to be the only one till date where "manual network selection" ( not "network type") is working. Can you help in fixing this with the resurrection remix rom?

And also, have you integrated the capps package because the original cm dialer app was much better in some areas.

Also, since your rom seem to have so much potential, I believe that you should provide a fresh and clean cm rom ( removing all the asus apps apart from camera app, customizations and apps like viper etc.) and leave those for the users to install. This way the rom will be much more light weight. This is just a personal opinion and please don't take it as a criticism. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to installing this rom.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] mavz31:
Yeah im using this rom and its way faster and smoother from stock looking forward for more improvements on this rom

Feedback #2 :)

Its been a couple of days now.

Audio/video sync problem appeared after 2 days but using awesome player seems to work for me.

Also after 2-3 days i've faced a mobile data problem. Mobile data connection lost all of a sudden at the mid of the day. But making some adjustments on VPN solve this issue.

Battery is still very good. I said i had nearly 4 hours screen on.But at that observation, i only used Wi-fi. Then after with the full usage of mobile data, i had 2,5 hours screen on. There is a huge difference between wi-fi and mobile services but this is not a ROM issue we all now that i assume.

Still good, still lovin it. I dont now how else you can improve this but i'll always be checking for updates :)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] hyourinseta:
I've been using this rom for a day and the battery life is very good. Maybe it's because currently i have not installed many applications on it. But i found that my phone freezes at random events. sometime it happens when i was playing game or even when i do nothing. So far I've found it froze 8 times. I know that this is the first time you hear a feedback about random freeze.

By the way, thanks for your ROM, it's great! :D :good:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Hello,

About the pre-installed apps, I can consider just Muzei (and plug-in) as "bloatware", as ViPER4Android FX is an advanced tool that is replacing AudioFX, Cyanogen Theme Store replacing native Theme Chooser and some additional themes for a better experience.

Also, about a clean and fresh ROM, it is already in my roadmap to build a CM ROM myself. I even did some tries but many failed. I will keep trying.

About RR, I can't help at all because I do not use the ROM. I used before but faced many many lags and crashes so I stopped using.

Also for a lightweight ROM, I will be uploading a user-contributed 7-zip compressed system image so it reduces size by ~50% (thanks to [MENTION=5261038]tunappaul[/MENTION])

Thanks for your feedback, it is very important.

You relock your bootloader, flash the stock recovery and flash the stock zip file via sideload.

Yes, thanks for the feedback I will add the AwesomePlayer as a workaround for the bug on main thread. :)

I gave faced only a random freeze on XDA Labs app. But can you try to enable AwesomePlayer on Developer Settings and check if it freezes again?

Thanks! :)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skghosh.mail:
Thanks for replying mate. And what about the capps package, is it pre-installed too? I ask asking because the older inbuilt cm dialer app has some advantages over the new capps.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] hyourinseta:
I turned on the Awesome Player and the my phone still freezes when i was playing game :confused:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] gusbalaa:
Maybe you can try the lastest CM Source with Android Security Patch so keep us safe .

ASAP ✌
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Can you send me the Play Store link to the game?

Yes, I am building the CyanogenMod 12.1 from latest sources. It will be a pure and clean CyanogenMod ROM but I need time to fix the bugs.

From Cyanogen Apps I didn't put the dialer. There is just the Themes Store, Themes Chooser and the requirements for Cyanogen Account.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Shafin Uddin:
is there any other kernal can be used wit this?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
You can try using any kernel from Resurrection Remix and any other CM12.1 ROM for our device. Don't forget to do a

fastboot erase cache

And wipe your Dalvik Cache (via Recovery).

You can also report here how good was the kernel and probably I can add support for it.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] hyourinseta:
It's Pokemon Shuffle. My phone got freeze not only when I was playing the game, but when I was using web browser, selecting or scrolling menu in Settings app, even when I was using developer tools such as pointer location.

Am I the one who reported this freeze thing? :eek:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] tunappaul:
Yes, I too encounter few seconds of freezing randomly. And some apps just do not work like Asus MiniMovie Maker. It just freezes.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
I just tested the game and I had no freezes. Neither for UI.

Have you done all steps including step 6 when flashed the ROM?

I just tested this app and generated a movie normally with no freezes. Have you tested enabling AwesomePlayer from Developer settings and use the app?

-douglas
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] hyourinseta:
Does your phone get heat when it freezes?

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Yes, I did all the steps you wrote. I also did your advice to enable AwesomePlayer from Developer Settings but it doesn't work and it still freezes randomly. Is it because the temperature of my phone? it gets heat when it freezes.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] tunappaul:
Thanks it fixes the issue.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

No, I don't have heating issues.

Bug report:

Stock music player is unable to seek forward/backwards. Will try replacing it with same app from rr 7.2.2.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] christonggg:
What is the different between this rom and RR? Sorry I'm newbie
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Yes, it does!

Test it and give me a feedback so I can put it in next release!

This is a mod of pure CyanogenMod with only some apps (see Features) and fixes. Resurrection Remix is a modified Android with features from a lot of ROMs, including CyanogenMod, OmniROM, etc.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skghosh.mail:
Done. Just change the "eleven" app with the version from rr7.2.2 and seek will work.

Meanwhile others can do the same and give proper permissions rw-r--r-- and restart and it will work.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ezrawk:
My fine sir, how's the progress of your new build? I hope it gets released ASAP. From all the CyanoMods of Zen 5 if tried, yours has the most stable ROM for daily usage. Intergrated gapps and installed xposed really does simplify things. Kudos, godspeed and good luck. Rooting for whatever updates you have in plan to release. Keep up the good work, mate! :good: :fingers-crossed:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
:D the next update will be more faster. I am odexing the ROM. This way we will have a quicker boot and a lot faster first boot.

Also, including gapps updates and some other things to increase battery life.

I spent so many time and got so many bootloops and fails trying to fix GPS so I am disabling the GPS service (note: it's GPS, not A-GPS) in next build.

If you have any suggestions for the ROM, please share! Your contribution is really considered here ;)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] @Cracker747:
[MENTION=6292495]dgadelha[/MENTION], Please fix lag when play 1080p video, overall your CM ROM are great and stable now, Thanks :)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] XHook:
you fixed the gps? good job
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
No, I disabled it on kernel level to prevent gpsd to restart every second.

GPS isn't fixable because the CM linker is not compatible with gpsd, I always get a segmentation fault.

I will check this. Thanks!
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] tunappaul:
Yes, this one is the most stable CM 12.1 build for me yet. I'm looking forward to your next update. Thanks!
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] rkj911:
Some question 1) I need SD to work so which to download SD card or non SD one 2) Is battery same as RR? 3) will that fix the audio video lag in YouTube?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ezrawk:
Nice! Will be rooting for it then!

Well honestly it'd be nice for the GPS to be fixed, but personally I don't really mind about the GPS. So it's really not a problem for me hehe ;) I mean if there were bugs in your rom, personally for me it's pretty normal and acceptable.

About the suggestions part, actually I do have one, mate. If it's possible, would you be able to integrate ASUS's AudioWizard in your ROM? It gives a certain boost on audio quality especially with Viper4Android FX. If you can't it's okay, don't force it, I may not be a fulltime poweruser of android (probably very much of a noob), but I do understand that compatibility issues tend to show up when devs are 'baking' a ROM. It's just a suggestion anyways :laugh:

I've got a question. I can't deactivate my SIM cards. Is this just me or does everyone have this bug? I've got 2 SIM cards, but currently I'm just using one. I tried to deactivate the first SIM card. But it never deactivates. It's really not a problem, simplest solution is just to take off my unused SIM card. But I was just wondering why It can't deactivate haha :D

Oh yeah, one more question. I've been facing a lot of hanging and freezing recently when I play games. Every time it happens I probably force 'power-off' my zenfone and turn it on again. But there was a time that I didn't force power off, and it restarted itself and a mic screech feedback kinda noise came along with it. Does it mean that there's something wrong with my mic or the cause is an overheating issue? The freezing/hanging randomly happens around an hour of playtime, more or less (around 30 minutes to 3 hours, can't actually pinpoint the time it happens) and yes my zenfone overheats, it doesn't extremely overheat just the regular overheating when games are running.

Keep up the good work [MENTION=6292495]dgadelha[/MENTION]! :good::good:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skghosh.mail:
So far so good. The best rom i have used so far. Really like the fact that dev hasn't included junk from Asus rom. 300mb free in system partition. Battery backup excellent ( you know, for a zenfone5).

Question to dev: please clarify the source and benefits of boot images offered. Sorry if you have already explained this before.

Suggestion for users: to get proper usage from viper and other functionalities, use the enforcing kernel and use the selinux mode changer app to change it to permissive. Enable awesome player. Use the latest 79xposed x86 sdk 22. Use appopsxposed to remove unnecessary permissions.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] jivan12345:
Dont have headset icon on status bar even my headset are plug-in
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] aditya510:
Great work by the dev [MENTION=6292495]dgadelha[/MENTION]. Battery lasts a day even on high usage. And the smoothness and the look of the ROM is awesome. Hoping updates will make it even better. (y)

BUG - NES Emulator 64in1 doesn't work and crashes. I have cleared cache and data after installing the ROM.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Thanks mate!

1) Use the normal one. The sdCompat kernel is not for CyanoZenMod.

2) Probably better because RR has bloatware.

3) Try enabling AwesomePlayer in developer settings.

Thanks.

I couldn't fix GPS because it is not compatible with our linker. So I gave up and disabled it kernel level.

Also, on AudioWizard, you can install it yourself. I'm trying to keep the ROM debloated from Asus apps.

And I can't fix this issue because I can't modify RIL on this ROM, just if I build one.

About the freezes I haven't found any, so if you could record a logcat it will help a lot!

Thanks! Also, on next update, the free space will be lower due to odexing. I will add a command to deodex if you want.

All the boot images contains same kernel, there are just modifications in ramdisk (for sdCompat) and in kernel command line (for selinux mode).

Yes. I don't know if this is really a CyanogenMod feature or just a RR feature. But headset works.

Thanks!

Also, I tested this app, and looks like is an issue with the application itself, not our phone:

E/AndroidRuntime(25951): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.pgame.nes.emulator/com.pgame.nes.emulator.SplashActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.pgame.nes.emulator.SplashActivity" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.pgame.nes.emulator-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.pgame.nes.emulator-1/lib/arm, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] rkj911:
Thanks for your replay , I have high hopes form your ROM after looking at these positive comments.

Feature Req:

1) Try to include DT2W

2) Make it Twrp flashable if possible

3) Can you add the headphone icon
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skghosh.mail:
A few times the system fails to go into deep sleep mode, seemingly at random. This doesn't happen all the time, just a few times. Couldn't find the reason behind this. However a restart seems to solve this.

Btw, i use cpuspy app which informs me every time the system fails to fall asleep.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
1) You can try using a RR kernel that supports DT2W. This isn't on my plans for two reasons: first that the CyanoZenMod main kernel is a stock-based modded kernel. I can't modify it at all to add DT2W. Second is that DT2W is a battery drainer.

2) My option to use a system image is that is more convenient boot into fastboot and flash the system image than booting into fastboot, flashing a recovery image, boot to recovery, copy the system ZIP and flash it. Also this makes CyanoZenMod a ROM without a custom recovery as requirement.

3) I guess this isn't a CyanogenMod feature but a RR feature. There's a bug report for this in CM's Jira and they say that this feature has been removed around 2013-2014 from AOSP/CM. Although, you can try using this application if this icon is really important. It works like Asus Services app for stock ROM and will display the headset icon as ongoing notification when a headset has been plugged.

Please check your Wakelocks and try using Greenify. An application can be holding a wakelock to keep the CPU active. Also don't forget cyanozenmod main's kernel is a stock-based kernel so deep sleep may not work correctly like on stock rom, but it should work, as does for me.

Thanks for the update. Currently i will be unable to download as i am traveling for work so would it be possible to make the services you removed and the changes you made in build prop so i can manually do it to get a little better stability. Do ignore if it's too much to pen down in a post.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Thanks!

Add this to your build.prop and update to the new kernel, should help to increase battery life, but you should upgrade to the latest system image when possible.

Hi! Everything else works great, but I'm having error of Bluetooth Share has stopped working (*Edit* this is with the latest update) meaning I'm unable to use my smartwatch. Any ideas on how to get this working?

Great work by the way, it's the most stable 5.1.1 build I've come across so far for the Zenfone 5!
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] vermundr:
I'm having an interesting problem with this mod. It works great indeed, no crashes, no restarts no nothing. However from time to time I get this:

- happened 2-3 times, randomly I'm asked to enter my simcard unlock code. (simcard screen as if phone restarted). But this happens during using an app. For example today I was reading a book on moonbook pro and it just popped up. After I enter it everything is fine.

- unfortunately google play services stopped, happened a couple of times

Otherwise it's great - just flashed it the other day and I see now that there's a february update (hurrah!) im gonna use it right away.

Thanks again for your hard work!
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Yes, looks like the service gets unregistered when flashing a new system image. My recommendation to stop the force crashes is to run the following commands in Terminal Emulator:

su
pm disable com.android.bluetooth

I guess the final solution is a factory reset so system will be able to recreate a registered services index.

-douglas

Well, modem instability is something that everyone sees on any ROM, including stock, even after latest update where Asus said they fixed the instability (which has been not fixed).

I never saw a screen asking me to enter my simcard unlock code. But something that is frequent even on stock ROM is a 'sim card restart', like if the sim was removed and put again.

Also, for the Google Play Services crash, never saw any. Have you do the recommended steps after flashing?

It's all on Asus hands.

-douglas
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] JayTheBearded:
Hi Douglas,

Unfortunately even after the factory reset the problem still persisted with the Bluetooth and the errors it was throwing out. I'll be going back to the previous build for the time being, but if you have any ideas in the coming days or weeks to try on the latest build I'll be more than happy to re-upgrade and give it a shot.

Thanks for the hard work you're putting in here! :)

Can you guys please try using the previous kernel? I haven't modified anything related to bluetooth on this version so I still don't know what is causing this issue.

I haven't modified anything related to network/baseband so still same as previous build.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skyplane1:
I flashed the older kernel,wiped data and cache and then factory reset. The bluetooth issue unfortunately still persists.

Thanks for all your hard work though, the rom is super stable. I'm sure you'll find a fix for it. Keep it up! :D
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
Then, bluetooth users, please use old build until I find the full reason of this issue.

I'm sorry for that.

EDIT: The cause of Bluetooth issue has been found. I will be uploading a update ZIP soon.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
A system update for Bluetooth fix has been just released and it's available on Downloads post.

You flash it via TWRP. If you do not want to install a custom recovery, I will release a system image tomorrow including this fix.

Opinions differ. For some this one stable for others RR is stable. To really know which one's best, you have to try it. But among the CM builds, this one is the best.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try this rom very soon. I saw many positive respons here.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] dgadelha:
The ROM by default is deodexed. But you can odex it. By odexing you free more space on internal memory, etc. You can also deodex the ROM after odexing.

I'll test this and reply you soon.

EDIT: Just tested Big Buck Bunny entirely in 1080p and I had no lags. As far I know, just videos recorded in 1080p with camera lags. Actually isn't the video, but the Camera itself.

Yes, it does.

It's funny to see that I got same model but I got 2 GB RAM. I guess I'm not able to help you. See the note about this on first topic.
