[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Boomshiva:
I dont think the rom needs any update from the developer . This is stock rom based ,and asus has not released any update for lollipop so far so what can the developer update ? Absolutely nothing . Only a bit of design and apps can be updated or some features can be removed or added that users can do themselves and per their needs . So bscially no need of update . Thank you
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Potoyskee:
Security patch monthly.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Boomshiva:
Asus need to push that security patches first then only it can be done on stock based modified roms . But since asus has not done that it cannot be updated for now .

Edit : maybe i could be wrong about security patches .
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] mfauzirahman:
auto reboot twice today...
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechGenius:
Yes.
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] TechGenius:
yeah almost just design changing , rom is very stable now and its good choice for freezing zenfone 5's , otherwise you can use Lineage OS by flex1911 and we are doing some good experiments on lineage os that will make zen 5 stay alive
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Potoyskee:
thanks sir for making a stable ROM.. your one of the best.

[Zenfone 5 Android Development] ahmet ferid:
Thanks bro. Rom is beautiful and fluent.

I also shut down the bootloader lock, there is no freezing problem.

We will be glad if you give us support for security patch updates from time to time.

Or if you can do something about integrating different features in other zenfone devices.

I wish good luck young man

After a year of bricking my ZF6, collecting dust in my drawer, it somehow revived itself. Now ,I'm ready to rumble again. if I'm not mistaken, this only requires Unlocked Bootloader and Custom Recovery. Not root, right?
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Boomshiva:
For flashing any rom you need

1) unlocked bootloader

2) custom recovery

I'm not that good at porting features, but I really like this rom you made. It's possible to port these features?:

2. ZenUI 3.0 features:

-weather animation on lockscreen

-camera widget on lockscreen

-Game Genie Support

-effects from ZenUI 3.0

-scroll bar from ZenUI 3.0

[Zenfone 5 Android Development] Boomshiva:
That's because of stock kernel . Use some custom kernel like borets kernel
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] kihope12:
We alredy tried, but his rom os 6.0 based, yes it is possible port it but we arent very good in "pure" android development..
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] LuanHalaiko:
I know that the animations and the camera widget are possible to add by editing the .xml's, the weather animation on the lockscreen is probably an weather app with some modifications to the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk .xml's similar how the LineageOS music visualizer works. I will try if I have the time
[Zenfone 5 Android Development] kihope12:
i know to, i also found correct files, but im themer not java coder..so..

Use the highest volume mod (search for it in the forum).

The speaker would be loud but voip calls like Whats app would be very less audible. Also sound quality becomes bad using that mod.

Finally got this rom Flashed on my T00J! I was having a hard time flashing this previously. Sometimes, it give an error about system being busy or just completely turns off while flashing.

Still on the bootscreen and waiting, thanks for this! Must be lovely.

Oh, and my Power Button is busted, I only use a soldered wire to turn this thing on, haven't got a budget on the power flex cable so I will probably install Borets once it boots

Thank you very much for this rom. Flashed it on my T00F and most stuffs seems to work well, but there are a few problems that I am encountering with the final build of the rom.

1) Launching Audio Wizard from quick settings seems to cause system ui to crash. However it is fine when launching from Settings.

2) I tried to change to equalizer in Spotify but this causes MusicFX to crash. I tried to install MusicFX by apk but it didn't solve the problem.

3) Camera works fine on my device even without locking bootloader. But screen freeze occurs even with locked bootloader. After a while I noticed that the phone freezes when installing apps from play store or package manager. However I am not sure if the problems is with the rom or my device itself. To solve the screen freeze and reboot, I simply plug in the phone to charger and boot it again.

Light use such as texting and social media is fine. Battery backup is ok for my 3 year-old device. Youtube lags on 720p so I put it on 480p and its fine. Have to use this for a longer period to detect more bugs. Once again thank you for this rom :)
