I got root enabled and i use adaway. The icon appeared since i installed greenify.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] rattler1975:
I picked up 2 of these phones yesterday and a 16 gb micoSD for a total of $51 tax included (if they have them they are on the clearance shelves at Target). Now I'm with you, "I can't put it down."

I looks like I jumped in at the right time. Thanks to all for all the great work. I'm now running CM 12.1, with Gapps, and Xposed. I too used the gapps-x86-5.1-nanon. So far so good. I just pretty much followed all the links and didn't do anything too fancy. This thread seems to be the best for the "state of the art." Nice summary.

Thanks!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] mateo121212:
it is because greenify gets root privileges right away and the icon stays up for the duration of app use. i use fsbi (Flat Style Bar Indicators) pro (the root icon is in DEV section) to hide it.

When i flash the new nightly i have to do a clean install (so all the wipes)? Or can i flash the new nightly without any wipe?

Flash the new nightly, then clear cache/dalvek. Then reboot out of recovery
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
Can anyone confirm that whatever size OpenGapps you use then that's how much of an effect /data or app install space you get afterwords. Like if I flash the Pico package then I about get 3GB left (almost 4GB) for apps than if I used the Super Package which would give someone 1 GB left.

I've noticed the power button needs to pressed twice to wake the device? I'm still on build 5/25 by the way.

I'm having a issue with apps like Facebook, Messager or Skype when I use them first time, they either crash or freeze System UI to where I have to software reboot, from power menu if it shows up, or hard reboot, holding the power button down to power off hard and power the phone back on. This issue fixed on either 5/26 or 5/27? Plus is it a good idea since I'm still on 5/25 to flash 5/26 then 5/27 to make up for the update gap. I know I have to wipe Davlik cache and cache each flash.

Anyone flashed any audiomods that work like XtremeMusic or something? I would like something like MaxxAudio back on the phone. any will do for the x86 rom.

EDIT: What's the OpenGapps everyone use? Pico? Nano? Mini? Micro? Super? Stock? Full?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] robot_head:
I used pico
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] muhammad_fatah:
I use viper 4 Android, and it works just fine. I flashed stock version of open gapps.

[MENTION=6758142]robot_head[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5482960]muhammad_fatah[/MENTION], on Pico and Stock how is your space afterwards?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] muhammad_fatah:
I've got something like 10 gb and 200mb on first boot. After updating system apps and installing 43 apps I've now got 7.36gb space left. (I don't move apps to SD).
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] robot_head:
It seems fine. And yes v4a is bumpin , use expert ui and just play with all the settings while you're listening to music to pin point the perfect sound.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
Alright, how is my question, i'd love to have 7 gb for app space for sure. Are you sure your not using Pico OpenGapps?

I'll have to install it and the driver if it don't do that annoying click sound like my rooted Kindle Fire 3rd gen had.

Also anyone else noticed that the battery icon disappears on lock? I have to use GravityBox's battery for now. You can change the icon in CM settings but kiss it goodbye on lock.

Also recommend anyone having issues with dirty flashing newer builds to back up your apps and data with titanium backup, just mod the platform.XML file in /system/etc/permissions for SD card read and write permission to back up, restore is not effected.

I restored my TB backup and it was like I never wiped user app data at all even my xposed modules data came back.

I'm not using Pico, I'm using stock and the zip is like around 512mb or something. Download the latest build of gapps so you won't have to update all the Google apps cause the updated gapps will already be in the system partition and it will save you a lot of space.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
Alright second question is are you using the real Z00D and not the AT&T Z00D? I'm using the AT&T Z00D.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] djole94hns:
Just use pico, it works great. You'll be able to have all the Google functions except that pesky "Hey Google" thing.

Also, be a bit economic regarding apps. Don't over-bloat your device with apps you know you very, very rarely use.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] muhammad_fatah:
Z00D not AT&T Z00D.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

I use Docs, Sheet, slides, fit and other Google apps. So stock is just perfect for me. I agree with you, if you don't use those app it's good for you to go with the pico.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] djole94hns:
I just installed them manually. That way, I don't get too much bloatware :)

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] djole94hns:
There's little you can do to make this ROM less battery-draining. I've even underclocked the CPU, battery still lasts way less then it did with the factory ROM. But this is, after all, just a beta build. I guess the upcoming Cyanogenmod 13 (Android 6) is more battery-friendly so to speak. It did improve battery drain on a Galaxy S4 I've flashed it on.

I'll try turning off two of the four cores, maybe that'd make it a bit better. In case you're wondering what I use, it's Kernel Auditor from the Play Store.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
I hope [MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] is working on it now, CM 13 with Doze will help out our Zenfone 2 and Zenfone 2e phones greatly with a battery life of half a week or a week even. Really hoping on that type of battery life. :thumbsup:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
So Tapatalk decided not to alert me the last few days on this thread. Anyways, working on cm13 last few days but nothing ready for use there yet.

See a lot of battery life discussion. I made no effort to tweak anything this far and won't until cm13 is up and stablish. After that I got a few tricks we learned to get the most out of Z00A/Z008 devices that I I'll apply here. The LTE radio tends to be the biggest battery cost though, and there's not much I can do about that.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:

I don't hate the battery life really, using Ampilfy, Greenify and PowerNap with Xposed to get good battery for at least two or three days is not bad, I unplugged my phone from charger yesterday and all night just so I would find my phone powered itself off for charge but to my surprise, still on and running in sleep at i think 60 percent this morning, plus flashing your rom the first time to see no APN settings are needed to be added or changed for Straight Talk. Good job on making the first custom rom I've flashed to almost ever needing to be setup after the CM/Google Setup wizards. Hoping CM 13 will be the best version yet, I was done waiting for Asus to update the firmware from 5.0.1. Crappy Stock firmware. :(

EDIT: Uh, can anyone else change the media volume from the drop down panel? I can't for some reason, I can tap on it but moving it is out of the question. I have to also turn it up and down one press of the volume keys at a time. Log tomorrow after work. Remind me if I don't, jrior001.

Waiting, finger crossed, for adoptable storage.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
Oh, what's adoptable storage? It sounds like something up my street with my phone. :o

EDIT: my next post will be some initi.d scripts with a modded platform.xml, if you don't mind me modding the platform.xml file for sd card access, [MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION].

EDIT2: Here is my attempt at logcat scripts that take a logcat to your internal or external sd card, they have or try to, find the Android folder on either storage media, the scripts are split between logging to internal or sd card so you can pick one and a modded platform.xml file for /system/etc/permissions/ folder. It's needed to log to the sdcard.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
I love the sound of it but can I still use my sd card as adoptable storage and have music on it still? if not then my alternative is going to be Link2SD then still.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] rattler1975:
This blog (credit Sam Liddiott) that provides a SIMPLE way HOW to split a fast SD card into both internal and portable. Also, states you can only move apps to internal storage Which is what I found with my other phone, that caused me to search around. LINK: I can't post a link yet (10 or so post still needed) but do a search for Sam Liddiott semi adopted android 6.

Alternatively, I've used MiniPartion tool to make two partitions one is turned in to adoptable (or internal) by Android 6 OS, the other was Portable. If I remember correctly I had to partition them two different times. 1st time I did the portable, with the 2nd 1/2 unformatted. Then the second time I formatted the 2nd 1/2 and then let Android reformat it as internal. Or some variation of that...either way it work, but was a pain.

I've gotten both to work on another phone running Android 6, a Moto G. Again the drawback will still be there... you won't be able to run your phone without that SD card installed, which is the same for Link2SD. Although you can unmount it plug it into your computer via USB 3.0 and copy large files over very quickly, you CPU will only see the FAT32 partition.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
I think my SD card is still partitioned for a second partition for 10gb and the rest is 43? GB for storage, since the use on stock 118 ROM for Link2SD, will that work instead?

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] MUSTANG651:
Does screen mirroring to chromecast works for anybody?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] rattler1975:
I don't think so...From memory... On first boot of Android 6 it will ask you what you want to do with the SD card. It will only recognize the partition formatted as FAT32. So if you want 43GB as portable at this time I think that will work. But... the 10 gb's that is formatted as EXT4 partition will just be sitting there, e.i. it won't then ask you if you want to use that 10 gb's for internal storage.

If you want to stick with this method you should be able to take your SD card over to MiniPartition and then reformat the 10 gb's that is formatted as EXT4 reformat as FAT32 and see if Android 6.0 recognizes it as an additional SD card and then this time choose internal (adaptable) memory, in which case it will then in turn reformat as an encrypted EXT4 partition. This is what I did, or some variation of this.

It would be far easier to back everything up on your SD and then follow the method listed on Sam Liddiott's blog. I tried it on CM 12.1 and it doesn't work. It worked like a charm on my MotoG with CM 13.0.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cidlover:
I'll try this when [MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] has a working and stable CM13 build for this phone, I hope partition order don't matter. The 43 GB is first and the 10Gb is second in MiniPartition and PartitionMaster. I have not used the second partition since 118 firmware and Link2SD because it worked once and stopped linking because of poor init.d support on 118.

EDIT: I just had a No SIM Card issue on the 5/27 build and copied the logcat log from /data/data but android deleted the 16 mb file on reboot so I don't have a log on this one [MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] but I have tried airplane mode and back, and ejected my sim card and back in my phone but still ended up hard rebooting the phone, also soft reboots don't ever work on this build.

Back in my Samsung Galaxy S2, the one from Straight Talk or SGH-S959G, days I mainly used the stock ROM until random reboots with my SD card installed then moved to cyanogenmod 10.1.3 4.2.2 jelly bean. I loved the phone because the phone used TWRP and could flash any I9100 or i777 ROM and then kernels to set the touch keys up normally. That phone was stock, wait for it, 2.3.4 gingerbread.[emoji37] but custom Roms was up from 4.0.4 ICS to 5.1.1 lollipop and giving new Android life into that phone, and jrior001 did more than give us 5.1.1, which I've waited for since my music app on stock stops without warning, but future CM builds and maybe other developers can build from his device tree for our Z00D phones for PAC ROM, resurrection remix, or even slim.

I haven't had any problems with the music app nor the phone signal, but the system is buggy. We were all practically just testing it to hunt for bugs to help with the future Cyanogenmod 13 build. So, if you intend on using this CM 12.1 as your everyday system, I wouldn't recommend it since it's pretty buggy and battery life is bad. It is, after all, a beta.

If you're curious and want to experiment a bit, then sure, go ahead.
