Currently we don't have any patch format like diff for APK files.Having one would make it easier to share APK file modifications to other developers so that we don't have to share the modded APK file ;)

Does anything like this exist now or will I have to develop it ?

**All credit to [MENTION=1813976]shakalaca[/MENTION] for his dedication. Also thanks to Enjie in Taiwan Asus Zentalk forum.

**Do it at your risk

This guide is to help you flash custom rom, like CM 13, in unlocked Android 6.0.

The point of this thread is to pack signature files into TWRP and boot.img so that we can boot from custom roms.

This thread won't be needed if TWRP/Custom Rom patch into MM the signature file in the future. For now, sorry for the mess.

1.Add signature to TWRP

a. Download your favorite twrp. The latest official twrp is doable.

b.Download and unzip the attached file: recovery_z00a.sig

c.Copy the above 2 files in the same directory.

d.Activate cmd window in your pc (window button + R, type cmd, Enter)

e.Add signature to TWRP in cmd window: (Suppose you put all files in c:\) , replace <twrp.img> with your TWRP file name.

cd c:\
copy /b <twrp.img> + recovery_z00a.sig recovery_mod.img

Now you will see a new file, recovery_mod.img created.

2.Add signature to boot.img

a. Unzip and extract boot.img from custom rom.

b. Download and unzip the attached file: boot_z00a.sig

c.Copy the above 2 files in the same directory.

d.Activate cmd window in your pc (window button + R, type cmd, Enter)

e.Add signature to boot.img in cmd window: (Suppose you put all files in c:\)

cd c:\
copy /b boot.img + boot_z00a.sig boot_mod.img

Now you will see a new file, boot_mod.img created.

3.Unlock MM6.0.

Refer to this thread. This is a 2 click unlock procedure. The device should be unlocked before we can flash twrp and custom rom.

4. After the device is unlocked, in bootloader, flash TWRP recovery now:

fastboot flash recovery recovery_mod.img

5. Boot from TWRP

6. Flash custom rom from TWRP

7. After done flashing custom rom in TWRP, flash boot_mod.img from TWRP.

Or, from bootloader:

fastboot flash boot boot_mod.img

8.Reboot system.

*My suggestion is to put the revised kernel in SD card. Later on If you upgrade custom rom, it is easier to flash the repacked boot_mod.img again in TWRP.

It won't be easy unless TWRP and Custorm Roms patch the signature files with them. Maybe we should wait after ASUS roll out its official release.

Guys, I want to root my Z00A (MM beta -- .111 build). Is there a way without unlocking the bootloader?

Also I want to know whether the Asus official bootunlocker tool can be used in this MM .111 build so that I can flash CM13 instead.

Thanks in advance. :)

Hi. where I can find more modern sig keys? I make custom kernel for marshmallow and use old ramdisk from 4.21.40.61 firmware. If I take ramdisk from boot.img from newer firmware and tnen pack back into boot.img, then to sign boot.img, device can't start. I suppose the reason of this- incompatible key?

Hi,

How could I manually sign these files on Ubuntu-based OS? I'm no longer use Windows as my daily OS. Thanks.

Hi guys , my zf2 is unlocked and rooted ( MM stock .134 )

Is possible sign stock boot.img and stock recovery.img for pass the verification on boot ??
[ZenFone 2 General] iqbal_mahmuda:
That's what I want to know. And, I want to know too if there is any ota for the marshmallow, and want to flash it, the bootloader needs to be relocked or not? And, dont need to un- systemless root+xposed, right?

Someone who uses MM beta before and succesfully flash ota with unlocked bootloader + systemless root and xposed can you confirm me please?
[ZenFone 2 General] siteswap:
I used MM beta, and after that i update to MM ( .134 ) official Fw , and my bootloader was locked.

For unlock+root i used shakalaka metod in xda index.

At moment the last ota that you can find is .134 in Asus site , but i dont know if in future the new ota will relock bootloader
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Can I use this method of signing for marshmallow. I mean If I sign twrp and install it while my system has marshmallow installed. will it brick my phone, or it will show warning message of signature verification
[ZenFone 2 General] BORETS24:
You need unlock bootloader on marshmallow otherwise TWRP will not start, it not brick your phone. If you have unlock bootloader you may to sign TWRP and will see "your device has failed verification " during 2 second
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Sir,

one more question.

If i ever wanted stock recovery, is there any way to get it back (though i dont think i'll ever need it).
[ZenFone 2 General] JonathonSnow:

hi tried using files in first post to sign twrp and boot img but for some reason keeps say access is denied

0 file(s) copied.

any help with reason for this would be great thanks

[MX Player] ruffpl:
Hi. I have a problem playing videos from my home network storage (I am on android m custom rom / samsung note 3). Previously when I was on Lollipop I could play videos directly by mx player using Ds file apk/ from synology NAS. Right now when I choose some video file it displays it by Opera web browser. Does somebody know how to change it?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Clear the defaults of Opera & in App Links set to ask everytime. if it doesn't fix the issue, Probably it's a rom bug. The bug was there in marshmallow itself. But, later it was fixed by google.

Just uninstall opera temporarily & check again. All missing apps will back to list. You can install opera again.

I got tired of playing games on the kaiser keyboard, so I did a little research on game controllers for PPC's. If found the Bluetooth game controller by ENR Technologies. I thought it was a good idea so I hunted for the best price. Found it at SunTekStore.com for $59.00 and then looked for coupons... I found one for free shipping... N-I-C-E ! ! !

Coupon for FREE SHIPPING: sunsun

I'll review it when it comes in....

Ron
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] LOMF:
Well..

I've had one of these for a long time now and the work fine. (got mine from shop.brando.com.hk) .. Works better (faster feedback) on my Keiser then on my universal - (just my overall feeling).. and it "fits" as it should (my Universal was to bulky)

The only negative I can say about it is that it's sorta big/bulky.. I always get suspicious looks when I put it in my jeanspocket ;-)

and.. since it's not as "instant" as your hardware buttons, there are a few games that are very frustrating to play.. Flux Challenge works great though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] khris:
can you tell us the drivers and the game that you used?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] LOMF:
Hi there.

I'm using the drivers that where shipped with the device, but after a short time of googling, this looks to be most up to date (version 1.52):

http://www.smartgamepad.com/downloads/driver1502.zip

(I currently use version 1.30, avalible here: http://shop.brando.com.hk/files/btgamepad_v130.zip )

And when it comes to games; the only one I've yet tried on the Kaiser is Flux Challange, but since you map the gamepad buttons to hardware buttons, every game/application is compatible.. but as I stated above - some games will be difficullt to play since there is a small (almost unnoticable though) delay. The delay has to do with the gamepad-application (which has to be running at the same time) - that reads the bluetooth-serial input and emulates hardware keypresses.. so the more CPU-intence the game is (and other processes running in the background) - the more delay you will experience
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] lokmeup:
All in all it is not bad. I still think it is about $20 to much, but if it saves my phones buttons from over use... and abuse, then it might be worth it. We all know how abused game controllers get, no need to abuse an expensive phone in the same manner.

The only grip I have, is the placement of the L and R buttons. The R button is utterly useless in its current position and the L button is to high. They really should be moved from the controller's arms, down to the front of the main body like most game controllers.

Since there is not an option for HTC Kaiser when selecting your device, choose one of the following: i-mate Pocket_PC

OR use the cab provided, it is what I use.

If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zellidon:
I'll start off by saying I basically bought the surnia Moto E 2015 (xt1526) specifically for an affordable way to play Pokemon Go. When it's working it works quite well but when in very high particle effect situations such as Battling or Evolving Pokemon it will start to get very hot and then eventually the frame rate will drop and sometimes the app will crash. I've tried a few different ROMs (Cyanogenmod 13, ResurrectionRemix, Cypher) and all seem to have the same issue. The only Kernel I've tried so far are stock and Squid Kernel.

That being said though I've had some experience tweaking and trying to optimize phones for normal app and multitasking usage but I've no experience at all trying to optimize for gaming. If anyone has gotten this particular phone to run optimally without crashes etc while gaming would you kindly suggest the Kernel, Roms and/or settings I should use for doing so? I've seen that were some good gaming ROM's for otus but those seem to have not been brought over to the surnia.

TLDR: surnia xt1526 overheats plummets in FPS and crashes while battling in Pokemon Go, any help appreciated

Update: After trying many different suggestions though I'm sure they did help out others they did not work for me. My phone's GPU was overheating up to 62 degrees sometimes in particular while many people seemed to be tweaking their CPU's mine was still overheating and crashing with those tweaks.

So this is probably a YMMV thing but what finally worked for me was installing a kernel that had some good GPU tweaks and the one I found best so far has been Inazuma R5 it actually has the GPU's lowest setting underclocked to 100mhz, with 400mhz still being the max and also makes use of adreno idler to keep the GPU cooler.

So if you've been having these issues I'd suggest opening up Kernel Adiutor after your phone starts crashing and overheating and taking note of the temperatures. If it's your GPU look for a kernel with adreno idler. If it's CPU then you can go with some of the other suggestions below.

Edit: I want to be clear that this is mainly only a problem with BATTLE after 30-60 consecutive minutes in Pokemon Go (sometimes also with mass evolution because of the heavy animation effects during evolution) So please specify, if you could, whether or not you've had a stable battling experience for extended periods of time.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKdroid:
Ive been using CM13 and squid kernel r16g and had been experiencing lags in pokemon go until i tried out some settings in kernel auditor. In kernel auditor under the tab low memory killer scroll down and select 'very light' and disable adaptive low memory killer(the first option in the 'low memory killer' tab) and now switch the tab to 'virtual memory' and scroll down to the last option and set the memory limit to around 460-480mb. Now under the tab 'cpu-plug' disable the intelliplug switch and there will be an option called as touch to boost, you just gotta enable that(this option is a major player in making the game to perform well).So just try this and see if this works, it worked very well for, i hope it does the same for you.

P.S. This may cause your battery to drain more as you set ur phone to perform more, So after you finish playing the game set it to default.

Havent quite used the stock rom lately....just been flashing roms quite frequently, so can't really say abt the performance of this game in stock :D And yes, a must try ROM recommendation for all you guys, playing pokemon go, wud be slim rom. Flashed Slim rom yesterday and found it to be light weighted ROM compared to many other roms n that too without a custom kernel. I tried playing pokemon go while in Slim and it worked just fine without lags or crashes. The only thing is that Slim is based on AOSP/CAF so features r limited unlike other roms.

Both SIMs can't use 3G network at the same time. But, you can set any of the, SIM1 or SIM2, to use 3G network. For that, dial *#*#4636#*#* from dialer, and first set the other SIM to GSM only mode and then set, the SIM you want to use 3G network with, to WCDMA preferred or WCDMA only mode.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDesso:
There are actually a lot of stable-ish stock based ROMs over at the development forum, but unfortunately there is no(and quite possibly for a while) stable Cyanogenmod 13 for it yet. I'd look into the OnePlus 3 if you're really into flashing custom stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pinkfloydhomer:
I really like the quality and features of the S7, but I really want the security of community support when the manufacturer decides to drop support. I am still on my LG G2 and I am very happy to be able to run Android 6.x (Resurrection Remix in this case) on it, when LG dropped support after 5.x.

OnePlus 3 is one option. I guess the Nexus phones are also very open and community friendly?

So I wiped everything and flashed: A310FXXU2APDC_A310FOXA2APD1_DBT.

But still no change. The ROM itself is working fine, except the hardware buttons. I wonder if it is some kernel related problem? But there should be no problem since it is all stock. I even flashed the earliest DBT firmware from samfirmware (A310FXXU1AOL7_A310FOXA1AOL7_DBT) also without success. The hardware buttons stay inactive. Really strange.
