My Z00A is right now with Jrior signed MM bootloader, Sayeed TWRP 3.0.2-1 and Ressurection Remix 5.8.3.

Can I just flash this ROM?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jags3g:
No, you need to clean flash the ROM?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] C-Ph87:
Sorry, my question wasnt clear.

I wanted to ask if I can instal this ROM without changing bootloader, TWRP or anything else than just clean flashing the ROM over RR like any other AOSP rom.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kenbo111:
Yes. As long as twrp is 3.0.2-m1
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] C-Ph87:
--Yeah, it is this version.--

[Edit]

No it's not. Mine is 3.0.3.M4-0

Thanks, i'll try this ROM then.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kenbo111:
With 3.0.3 the Rom will flash but root and xposed won't flash correctly
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] C-Ph87:
I'll downgrade the twrp before flash the rom.

Thanks!

I use the latest 4.01 patch and my facebook always bootloop, i already try reinstall and clear the data its still same.. anyone have this problem too?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] DiegoMarques:
For some reason, the Play Store is installing Facebook for ARM and not the X86 that our Zenfone uses. To fix, please unplug your Facebook and install the X86 version of this Link:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/facebook/variant-{"arches_slug":["x86"]}/
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Karlmeister:
Thank you for your work!

Anybody getting problems with root/magisk? I've installed dirty and clean the room but Magisk looks not properly installed.

I first flashed with TWRP 3.1.0m1 and then downgrade to 3.0.2m1 but same results :(

thank you so much for your contribution for our zf2

i have one query if you found worth revert me

i am unable to use adb in my z00a i want to flash this rom i m on lineage nogut so how can i install this rom?

I have twrp installed. Pls suggest as my phone connection to pc shows malfunctioned device so no detection in adb mode
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Domanshi:
You don't have to use adb. You can simply copy the zip file on your external SD, Go to TWRP, Full Wipe except External SD, Flash the ROM, and you're done! Make sure your TWRP is the one that's recommended on the ROM page. I can see that you're on MM BL already since you've flashed Nougat already. However, correct me if I'm wrong with this.:D:D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Blackdragonbird:
Hi,

Installed this rom today, but can't find where to activate the root. I need to flash something else, or only the rom is enough?

SuperSU is installed but says that the device is not rooted.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kenbo111:
What version of TWRP did you use? It needs to be 3.0.2-m1
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MircoMar:
Hi, thank you for your job but the default alarm for the clock is still silent, and if you choose a personal ringtone for contacts this does not ring. Please can you fix it? I need alarm for my work and sometimes i forget that it’s silence!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Arerive:

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] nguyenthuanhung:
This ROM works on ZE550ML?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Blackdragonbird:
I have no idea. I will look into it.

Another question, this is the only stock bloat free rom? I'm using it but I'm not liking some things like the sounds used for the ringtones, and other personal modifications made by the developer.

There any rom that are bloat free only, and all the other options vanilla?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Karlmeister:

And i have all of these problems, must be bad luck or something, ive tried everything, and it still lags sometimes. The only downside in the asus camera app is the HDR mode to me, cause it rarely work well. Does anyone knows a better camera app to use?

Same here... CS 4.0.1b, Stock kernel and TWRP 3.0.2m1 :(

Getting a error with the Overlay when I try to give access to any application.

Already disabled all apps to write in the overlay, but still get the error.

Any way to fix this other than reflashing?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] montenell:
Don't reflash. I had the exact same problem, turned out to be es file explorer. I uninstalled it and the issue went away. One of your apps is causing it. A lot of people had problems with clean master but like I said it was es file manager for me
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Blackdragonbird:
Thank you. It was exactly the issue.

There are any other file manager with the report for new created files? Is the only thing that was making me use ES app.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] montenell:
Did you try the built in file manager? A funny thing is I ended up reflashing and I restored my apps with es file manager included and didn't have the issue. Weird

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

Tried it and got "updater process ended with error 1".. when I unroot it am I supposed to also go back to stock boot?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Karlmeister:
The Asus File Manager is one of the few worthy built-in app in the stock rom. It's easy and clean to use (as Es explorer was long time ago) and has notification for new files feature.

Does anyone know how to pass safetynet in this Rom? And did anyone make the Google Now Integration work? :confused:

Google now integration works, just make the Google app as system app with system app mover from play store, safety net not working
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dikur17:
To passing safety net, I uninstall xposed framework and use magisk hide to hide all google's app. And it work, i get certified in playstore.

I pass Safety Net just uninstalling Xposed. It didnt work just disabling it and/or enabling Core Features.

You can delete xposed framework in modules menu of magisk. Then you can restart. Open magisk again and tap safetynet check. Hopefully work to you.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Talionator:
The integrate button, or the google page. Does it automatically appear in the zenui launcher?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jags3g:
Integration is done by app called "/system/app mover"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover

In this app find Google app and tap on it, click yes
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Talionator:
Dont that, Google is now a system app
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jags3g:
Reboot now and check by pressing and holding home button, Google now will pop up
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Talionator:
Google poped up, but shouldn't it be a page, like next to the home page, swipe right or left to get to it?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jags3g:
No, for that you need to get the Google Now launcher, it is integrated with Asus Launcher from nougat not on Marshmallow
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Talionator:
Oohh
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Domanshi:
I'm guessing it's because we have a modded zenUI that the Google Now Page doesn't show. Don't know but I saw it in the changelog. Perhaps the Zen3 phones only have it.

Edit: Checked to confirm and ASUS wrote in the changelog that Google Now Integration availability varies. So maybe it's only the Zen3 phones so far.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Talionator:
Somw things of Asus sucks, they forget about older phones, and their UI stays the same with very few changes
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Domanshi:
Unfortunately that really is the case with Asus. What bothered me then was how long the Zen2 flagship got its Marshmallow update and how bad that update was. They concentrate on the newer brands and left the older ones for dead. That may also be the case when the Zen4 line comes. And yeah, the Launcher could really be better. Can't be picky though since they also have to deal with their phones too, not just the UI.

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Also, is the wrong Facebook app version download on the Play Store still present? Sometimes my Messenger app goes cranky too.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Talionator:
Yeah, Asus is hopeless..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kenbo111:
Really? We've gotten 2 updates in the last couple of weeks! How is that left for dead? I really don't understand the crying that goes on by some of you! And we all know that the delay in getting the marshmallow upgrade had more to do with Intel giving up on mobile chipsets than it did with Asus. They have 2 newer lines of phones out (or soon to be out) and we are still getting updates. That's really not bad at all.

As far as Google now integration, I'm using Nova launcher and it works just fine. There is no swipe right to access. (that's pixel launcher only I believe) It's long press on the apps button (just like long press on home button brings up assistant) I would think it would be something similar in Asus launcher.
