[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sziraqui:
Update: This ROM requires MM firmware. If you never upgraded to ASUS official MM using the ota or zip from ASUS website, the ROM will not boot on your device. All variants have received MM update as of now except ZE500KG. ZE550KG users can use ZE500KL 's MM OTA to upgrade to MM.

What is Smoothified Stock ROM?

> Its the deodexed, debloated, zipaligned and pre-rooted form of the official asus firmware.

What are the benefits?

> The ROM is derived from stock, hence stable. It is debloated, deodexed and zipaligned, hence FASTER than pure Asus ROM. You will get more free RAM, I expect more than 50% of free RAM when phone is idle.

Which devices are supported?

All variants of Zenfone 2 Laser and Selfie

Z00E

ZE500KL

ZE500KG

Z00L

ZE550KL

ZE600KL

ZE550KG

If there are any other devices similar to Z00L, (like Zenfone Max) they might be supported as well

Z00T

ZE551KL

ZE601KL

ZD551KL (Selfie)

Note: ROM for Z00T group is removed temporarily since many users reported bootloops. Will be updated as I get time.

How to flash?

> You need unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed on your device

> Download the correct ROM file as per your device group

> Put the .zip file in your external sdcard.

> Reboot your phone to "Recovery Mode". [Vol down + Power]

> Wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory reset your device. Wipe system if you had custom ROM installed Try without wiping system first. Wipe system only if it doesn't boot.

> Select the zip file to install.

> Reboot device. First reboot may take upto 30 min. If it takes more than this, don't use the ROM, comment your device details-

> Currently, headphone doesn't detect for an variant. You can use SoundAbout app from playstore as a temporary fix.

I am trying hard to fix this.

Update : As per my current findings, I have concluded the issue is due to make_ext4 binary which doesn't retain all sysmlinks from stock system.new.dat. I am trying different versions of the binary to test if this fixes the issue

DOWNLOADS

Edit (19 July) : I am extremely busy. I will provide updates only if it fixes headphone issue. Z00T users, I am sorry I can't provide a working build until I get a Z00T device or an active tester.
