**ROM Features**

ROM IS STOCK BASED SO IT HAS TO BE STABLE

Debloated A LOTTTT

Added latest ASUS apps as of 9th June 2016.

Removed unnecessary build.prop files.

Using kernel from Custom Stock ZenUI ROM,thanks to ryanjms07 for allowing me.

Included BusyBox v1.24.1 stericson and QUICK MEMO APP (Latest,quick settings toggle also works)

Minimal brightness is set to 2, using framework-res,apk from [MENTION=4861119]ryanjms07[/MENTION] 's rom and kernel to support it

SDcard write support by default(platforms.xml)

Added few tweaks from Recreated Remix Leopard ROM, thanks to [MENTION=6821509]TecnoTailsPlays[/MENTION]

Smooth Video Playback without any delay

Better improvement over Gaming Performance

Better Screen-on Time (SoT) Upto 4 hrs (some users reported it).

ROM boots faster after 1st boot

a new rom for this features?? ^

anyone can debloat stock asus rom after rooting it

latest asus apps can be updated from playstore

build.prop files can be deleted from system when rooted

busybox can be downloaded and installed from twrp as well as playstore

minimal brightness can be achieved using gravity box

sd card write support can be achieved by writing 3-4 lines in build.prop when rooted

smooth vid playback and better gaming!! use force gpu rendering in developer settings with lspeed mod or skynet

battery backup!! use borets kernel/grenify/amplify/max and min freq to 400 with one core enabled and powersaver governor

so why a new rom?????
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
Because we want a simple ROM and ready to use ?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
1.Debloating and updating - not everybody has a stable and fast internet connection to just update all the apps at once,also updating the default apps takes a bit more storage space, same for busybox and all...

2.Brightness level to 2 - stock kernel doesn't support it EVEN IF U USE GRAVITYBOX...the kernel by ryanjms has this feature to support it..

And if its by default ,its even better as nobody needs to put extra efforts...

ALSO,NOT EVERYBODY USES XPOSED FRAMEWORK

3.for sdcard write permission, we have to edit platforms.xml from system/etc/permissions and not the build.prop files

4.In lollipop 5.0, NuPlayer was default for media playback which causes video and its sound delay, i enabled the old AwesomePlayer by default in build.prop to avoid lag and media plays fast...

5.Battery bkp is already nice in this rom...

I MADE THIS ROM FOR EVERYONE TO SAVE THEIR TIME AND TRIED TO INCLUDE EVERYTHING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO THAT WE SHUD NOT USE ANY 3RD PARTY APP TO ENABLE IT,THEREBY SAVING SPACE AS WELL AS DECREASE BOOT TIME...

IF U DON'T WANT TO USE THE ROM, DON'T USE IT, ITS UPTO U..

U CAN MAKE UR OWN ROM ALSO...I JUST SHARED MY WORK AND EVERYBODY LIKED IT,THATS IMPORTANT....

NOT EVERYBODY HAS THAT MUCH TIME TO DO ALL THESE STUFF U SAID....

XDA IS A COMMUNITY WHERE WE CAN SHARE OUR WORK AND HELP EACH OTHER,AND THAT'S WHAT I AM DOING..

P.s.DONT take it in a mocking way, it was just a friendly reply...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] YuriMorluck:
Its not a new ROM as it was named as STOCK ROM . but clearly implies that not all of users are capable of doing a lot of things in their units since its too strenuous and really do time consuming. the procedure you aforementioned is somehow takes a lot of time in doing so , I think the main feature of this new build is for custom ROM user who wants to retain back to asus stock rom in just few clicks away. So the thing is why do you need to do such enormous procedure you mentioned if you can just install this New Stock ROM build in just instant clicks which the output of the two is merely the same..... And you can't install stock ROM using Custom Recovery by the way so I guess this New Build is really efficient for custom ROM users like me......
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
Yes,that is what my main motive is..i even mentioned in the OP..
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] YuriMorluck:
yup I think the other guy is not aware of it lol... :)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Arunava Vishal Dutta:
1)Use borets kernel and gbox and brightness can be reduced.

2)Yeah forgot abt awesome and nuplayer coz not using lp for quite a long time happy with mm yes awesome player with gpu rendering with lspeed or skynet

3)and platform.xml isnt the only way to enable write to sd

I enabled write to sd using build.prop

In much early time couldn't remember the whole code

Its like

ro.epad.mount xxxxxxxxxxx

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

1st of all

Asus stock rom is very much installable from twrp modify the updater script simply and either replace stock recovery.img with twrp or remove the line of flashing recovery etc but the point is it is flashable using twrp

And 2nd custom rom users are not lazy if a custom rom user can spent 1hr using adb flastboot and all to install new rom and kernel he/she wont be lazy enough to boot up stock rom in 30min root it in 5min using zenfone rootkit

And then do all the things i mentioned
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
I didn't say that people are lazy...

And what do u want to say exactly...had i done any mistake sharing my rom with everyone?

If u don't like my work, u can just ignore it or u can make a seperate thread for ur things that u have mentioned (a good idea i think)...

Atleast don't create a clutter in this thread unnecessarily...

Stop this topic here itself .....
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
I'm kind of lazy person and I'm happy with this ROM :D
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] robyrenata:
Hello dev [MENTION=5188005]prathmesh pande[/MENTION], thank you for your effort for this rom, battery backup and performance are great in this rom. I just enjoyed this rom so far. But could you like to add new feature like "Advance Reboot" in the next build? I'm kinda missing this feature from RR/CM13 rom or any suggestion temporary workaround with this? (I hope it's not installing xposed, cause snapchat won't log in with xposed enabled)

Keep up the good work dev! Greetings from Indonesia:good:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
I don't know much coding and all stuff ,but with guides available on xda and internet, i will surely give it a try...

Till then u can use "quick reboot" app from play store by phongIT...its pretty nice with no ads...

And..thanks for the greetings :cowboy: ;)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] robyrenata:
Maybe this could help a little --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449007, and thank you for your suggestion sir

and one more thing, is there any option for saving downloaded media default to microsd? because when I try downloading some pic from 9gag, the location of saved images are in internal storage. Altough I've already set download location to microsd in Downloads :D
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
My issue of noise cancelling mic is fixed.....by itself. Thank God
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
I tried this guide u gave the link and one here http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-de...de-tut-adding-5-reboot-menu-lollipop-t3241546

Both were confusing for me and is difficult for me to do so..

I'll ask some developer to add the four way reboot , lets see if anyone helps me or not...

And for the sdcard thing, i dunno how to chage the 'location' of 9gag images....If i get any info ,I'll tell u...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
[MENTION=7467277]robyrenata[/MENTION]

EDIT:- If u are not rooted, the app will not work (i assume u aren't rooted since snapchat doesn't work on rooted devices too)

instead use terminal emulator and type the commands there like

reboot

reboot recovery

reboot bootloader

these cmds doesn;t require root permission so u can just type and enter it in terminal emulator....
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] romulomazz:
Hey dude thnas for the rom, its really nice.

I'm having problems, the playstore and other apps is leting the phone slow and turning off alone. And also the play store is not working properly, when download it can turn off the phone right at time, and happen to not download other app at all. Vídeos is buging the phone also.

My phone is a t00j.

And the Viper that u put there dosent work, stop work.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
I m not having such issue,try clean flashing the rom again according to the order i hv mentioned in the OP...

For V4A, keep "FX compatible mode" to Compatible and reboot,it shud work fine (but only for music player)....
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
You can just xposed module APM+
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] robyrenata:
My phone is rooted but I don't use xposed, since xposed caused some error while log in to snapchat (not rooted phone cause error) but thank you for your info about using terminal and I think that is the best work around so far compared to installing new apps as you suggest before. Appreciate that:D
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] thepomp:
This latest builds reboots automatically in deep sleep
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skyplane1:
Yeahp!! it was the IMEI . It works perfectly.Thanks alot for the link as well. Loved the rom,cheers! :D
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
Nope. Clean flash it. If you did clean flash and still issue persist. Bootloader improperly unlocked.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
Freezing and rebooting issue is mainly due to double tap to wake (zenmotion) enabled and unlocked bootloader.....freezing issue is faced by me too on original factory stock rom with unlocked bootloader as well as on my rom..

To avoid such issues,bootloader must be locked ,but before that ,stock kernel has to be flashed otherwise u will get a USB logo while booting and the fone will turn off itself..

Disadvantages of stock kernel are, dt2w wont work,low brightness will not be that lower (will be default low which used to be).
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TrueMS:
I have a question:

Does video recording work well, I mean if Full HD video doesn't lag?

And another question, can you compare CM 13's battery life and this ROM's battery life? Is CM's one better? Or is it same?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
In my experience dealing with a custom ROM, I expect this or some custom ROM based on stock is better for battery backup, but what I got is the opposite, the based stock one has a worse battery backup compared to MM based on CM like RR,DU,AICP,AOKP. I compared the battery performance without many interfere of other apps, so I dont install greenify,amplify,or something like that. So I wanna compare the battery endurance in a pure way. And that's what I got.

But,

if u asked about the stability of course this one got it and video recording works well like usual.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] thepomp:
I dont think so bro. Performance and battery life does good job in this ROM.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
Maybe u got different result bro, it's ok

It just based on my exp.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
Since the rom is stock based, Obviously everything works..Full HD video recording works with no issue...

For battery life, everybody is getting different results on my rom as well as on CM roms..

so u have to test it urself...some users reported thay they are getting SoT upto 4-6 hrs so u can give it a try
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
What kind of apps that u use for manage battery? I think that's really good battery backup.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] thepomp:
Amplify+greenify+lspeed. One core online+933mhz. Powersave+noop

But it only happen sometimes. Basically 4-5 hours SoT
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ayushagarwal9753:
Have you fixed issuses that came with 5.0 by google like memory leak issue
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
Well,I don't knw hw to do it...

Bt in the .87 update, its been already fixed so u shud nt face memory Leak issue...

U can use xposed module to fix it if u still feel its not fix,bt idk hw to implement it...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ayushagarwal9753:
Thanks but just now i was trying to flash this rom but i am unable to do so (twrp 2.8.7.0) its showing error executing updater binary in zip
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ayushagarwal9753:
it worked i just recopied the zip file and it worked At present its booting up :) :laugh:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ayushagarwal9753:
it booted up but with null imei problem so i tried the link given by you but then stuck where we have to put com port number as my pc is not detecting it as com port instead it is detecting as adb interface device

Fixed
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Naim Islam Nirjon:
Camera Problem!!!
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] joshuawikarta:
Just got my wife's Zenfone 5 few days back (and she took my new phone), and noticed her Zenfone was still Kitkat. Planning to flash it with latest CyanogenMod but really need GPS as I travel a lot. That is where I come across this thread. Basically, this ROM is my first flash (and first post).. I know the concept since long time but never really motivated to try. It's been 2 days and no noticeable issue so far..

Glad it comes with XPosed (though I need to fill the modules.list manually, ~idk why yet). XInternalSD help me to manage space for whatsapp (which I addicted alot)

So.. thanks Mate!
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
So gps works sir?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] alvster:
Im not so clear with the instructions to install this rom.. can anyone make it simple and tell me how to do it? Im coming from lollipop .87, rooted. Never flashed any custom rom before.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] joshuawikarta:
It seems working. I turned off data and wifi, and google map shows my exact location.

I installed random GPS test from playstore, and it shows 7 satellites connected ~ take time though, couldn't benchmark with the original one.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
GPS FULLY WORKS SINCE IT IS STOCK BASED ROM ITSELF...

Camera not found ISSUE IS DUE TO BOOTLOADER ON SOME ZENFONE DEVICES,ITS NOT AN ISSUE OF THE ROM...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] joshuawikarta:
Start with clicking this link.. It basically allow you to go to the dark side, not only this ROM.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ayushagarwal9753:
is any one facing microphone problem after flashing this rom ?? (when talking to someone i noticed that the other person is not able to hear properly (low sound )) or is its my hardware issue???

sorry for bad english
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
Try to record anything then play it tjat way you will know if it is hardware or not.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] federico.guerrazzi:
I have the same issue with many custom roms. Microphone on the bottom of my device is not working at all, the one on the upper part of device work properly. Flashing again the stock rom it works normally. Also no problem with hands free mode during phone calls.

Inviato dal mio ASUS_Z00AD utilizzando Tapatalk
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ayushagarwal9753:
Already tried doing that when i recorded sound it was full of noice and i was not able to hear what is recorded until iam very very close to microphone but while calling instead of disturbance there was no sound and can only can be heared if i speak very close to microphone

Ok will try stock rom with stock kernel and will let you know
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] LucasBernardesLopes:
Rom not installing with twrp 3.0-M-4.0
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] herecomesmaggi:
Twrp 3.0 m4 is not properly compiled I think. Me too had error with lollipop roms, it gives status 7 error code. That is of binary updater.

Try build 3.0m2 works everytime.

Regards
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
I didn't had any issues with twrp 3.0 M4, it worked just perfect...

I did flashed lollipop RAW fw first for some reasons, then unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP M4 and flashed ROM, all went fine...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] markan1995:
How flash without unlock bootloader?? If don't, please make...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] febry_valdy:
Cuz this one is flashable zip ROM so you have to flash it through custom ROM and to install a custom ROM like twrp,cwm,phill,etc you have to unlock ur BL first to make it works perfecty. But u have to remember, UBL make ur official guarantee void.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] yasin0005:
Nice Rom buddy I liked u r Rom but I revert back to original stock Rom due to freezing problem .hehe

Nice work man keep it up. :D

U need to little bit improvement in deep sleep so battery life will be extend but its kernel tweak so there Is no offence ..hehe

Check for kernel or try to build u r kernel just saying ...

Sorry for any inconvenience ... :p

I'm getting problems with busybox. When I try to install Viper's audio driver, shows up a window that means the busybox is broken. How to solve it?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ceomaverick:
Hi,

I am on ASUS Zenfone 5 (T00J) with official WW-2.22.40.540 (4.4.2) firmware.

Can I Flash this ROM?

Thanks.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] MrPhodovisck:
Thanks for this Rom.

GPS is a big deal for me.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Chandro-ID:
You can, be sure wipe data/cache before and after u flash them.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] yasin0005:
Yes u can but some Asus zenfone 5(T00J) devices face freezing problem due to unlocking bootloader if u don't face this problem then u can enjoy any customs firmware .. Enjoy :D
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] murderblur:
thanks!

thanks for this. so far running smooth n my asus zenfone 5 tooj. What battery saver would you recommend for this rom or it's not needed anymore.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
What i think is , The asus Power saver app itself is battery draining, so i am kind experimenting.

Wht m doing is, i am deleting powersaver app frm fone, then downloaded this:- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.batterysaver.free

And then created a shortcut to enable inbuilt battery saver rather than using asus powersaver app..

Let's see if it makes any difference or not...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] murderblur:
i see.. please let us know whats your observation. love your rom! thanks for making it. :) i'm using shutapp app. Will try later the one you mention..
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
Uncheck mount name space in SU and check tapjacking then reboot then you can install VPer

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

1080p works fine for me
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ingeniousretard:
I have this problem whenever I enter subways or underground parking areas and lose network, it doesn't come back. Also, the phone is warm and battery drains like hell! The network comes back only after restarting the phone. But until the phone is in pocket, the battery keeps on draining! How to solve this?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] mohdzaid786:
Hey there!

I'm a newbie and just wanted to know whether it will work for me (I'm on kitkat on my asus zenfone 5)

As u have given a note only for marshmallow and lollipop users.

Also I'm facing problems while unlocking the bootloader via the tool attached in the thread.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
If you are on kitkat, pleaseeeee use the official unlocking bootloader apk from asus's official site, then flash recovery and flash the rom..

I dont think there wud be any issues if u are on kitkat (but i haven't tried it so,good luck ? )
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
That's the issue of ASUS itself,they haven't provided a "Completely Bugfree" lollipop ROM.

I also came to know that the .78 update is more stable than .87 update,so if I'll get time, i will switch to .78 and then try to figure out what's causing issues in .87 update...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] prykpryk:
Everything is fine with this rom but I can't install Chrome. Somehow the phone crashes when Chrome is downloaded. Dev versions of Chrome can't be installed too. Any ideas?

Edit:

I reflashed the rom, this time with wiping internal storage too and the problem has gone away.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] kuranzi:
is DT2W (double tap to sleep and wake) feature enable on this ROM ? coz my Power Button broken and i cant use my phone without that DT2W...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] murderblur:
yes
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] kuranzi:
I have used this rom for 2 day, everything is okay but i got a little lag, maybe it cause the animation, anyone kniw how to make animation faster ? Soryy im asking too much :)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] myrul:
Enable developer mode by tap the build number about 7 times in about > software information. You should find the animation related setting in there by scrolling until drawing section.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] kuranzi:
thanks, and done, everything run smoothly now :D
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] leonardohenrique10:
How I can fix this?

I already tried to format all and reinstal the rom, but not worked...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
Strange, One wake up and draining. Try this everytime you charge it, when it reached 100% reboot. Leave it about for 10 - 15 mins with plugged charger after booting. If that doesn't solved it.

Try installing Greenify, amplify,power nap and L speed. It is a great combo, and always do the above steps, the reboot then leave plugged, it is useful too.

Im having 3h 50mins to 4h 10mins SoT depending on my usage.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] iel0000:
im getting a mount error: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblocl09 as /system: Device or resource busy
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Parliamert:
"com.android.phone" force closes, I can't use my cell phone :/
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] iel0000:
successfully flashed it now.,,i only tried flashing the rom and i see that there is already supersu and gapps,, now the question is,.do i still need to flash the gapps and supersu?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
You only flash rom and after it booted up with force closes? You must have only wipe cache and dalvik don't you?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] iel0000:
i dont experienced any force closed
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
So you must have only wipe cache and dalvik.

Because as the OP said. Flash gapps before 1st boot.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] iel0000:
i wiped everything except internal
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
You should have formatted data. But oowwkkaaayyy :sarcasm:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechNova:
Gapps which is pre-installed in the rom is the ASUS's stock gapps which is pretty old,even the lib files...

Its RECOMMENDED,BUT NOT NECESSARY to flash opengapps,

However,flashing opengapps pico will give u a bit more space in system partition.....

Its upto you..

Same for supersu (not mandatory)
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] xiaoqiaotp:
Can you share these apps's config? :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ZeeJcG:
Greenify pro, toggle all except for the first in the pro package, hibernate the apps you think draining the most just be careful hibernating the ones you've used oftently.

Amplify i didn't mess with exactly just the default config.

Power nap, white list amplify, android system, google account manager , play services, services framework, greenify , greenify pro, l speed, xposed.

L speed, config is easy, just dont try to mess up with the ones you didn't know like the I/O tab,
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] kuranzi:
Me too i got battery draining too, when i sleep it left 75% and when i wake up it left 5% :(
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] skp135:
install wakelock detector, to see why your awake is always on when u sleeping
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] prykpryk:
It's not necessary. kuranzi phone has lost cellular network and that's what drains his phone. I had the same problem when using the "stock" stock ROM. Using CleanStock I haven't had this problem. But also I wasn't anywhere where I could lose network range since then.

Flashing a new rom seems to remove the calibration data of battery. Try to check how long your phone can work at 1% charge.

In my case:
