amy new releasing of cm 14 ... i think Rescrusion Remix slow down our cm 14 :confused:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] brunohrbarros:
I did a clean install in September, and then just dirty flash until 20161210 build. Before this I was with stock 4.21.40.184, and never had audio problems.

I didn't install this LineAge build.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] the rockstar 2020:
On linOS While changing build.prop through get assistant , got an error saying build.prop is empty and when checked through file manager it was actually empty also get assistant app warned me to no to reeboot or else I'll get a bootloop.

What should i do?

PS: It worked on cm14 build and there were lot of things in build.prop file.

After doing a clean install of 12/30 build, Viper4Android keeps requesting me to update/install driver everytime when I just open the app. Anyone facing this?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] aryan531:
viper works fine for me ... ill flashed viper zip and rebooted then viper asks for driver installation with proper busy box installation ... then accepted and wait 1 or 2 min after that succes notifcation recieves and make device restart...and after that it will fine :good:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] sxcs1991:
That is what everytime I did. but after clean installing the 12/30, I am not able to make the Viper working again.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] aryan531:
buddy if it doesnt work then u should try viper alternative and i think its better than viper named as... arise sound system and it works fine on nougat rom ..

i am also getting continious driver update on arise sound system soo i installed viper ...

but try a shot may be it works .. what version u have of viper mine is ViPER Audio 5.2 CM13 Edition
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] sxcs1991:
I have tried two versions:

The one you mentioned (cm13 edition) says that the viper couldnt acquire root permission (strange thing is that I have enabled root permission for apps and ADB through developer options section, still I get this message).

The one I have flashed and currently facing problems mentioned before is the biohazard mod. It was working perfectly with with other cm 14.1 builds.

But thanks for the quick reply, Tonight I will flash the ARISE and let you inform what happens.

Same problem on CM13.

It appears rarely and randomly for me.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bernardobas:
I think it's something related to the charging connector. I reinstalled everything to make sure it wasn't a software issue or a corrupted partition (and I mean EVERYTHING: bootloader, stock rom, root, M blobs and finally LineageOS + Pico Gapps) but nothing changed.

I found out that after some minutes of being in charge, the problem appears. Even the bootloader animation looks messed up.

I need to reboot the phone two or three times after unplugging it, and if I'm lucky it gets back to normal. The phone is not being sold in my country so I'm screwed. No parts and no tech support. I'll use it until it dies.

Its on the internet so it must be true..... Truth is 90% of CM is aosp with caf's changes merged in. This is nothing new, been like this a long time.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] karthik01:
Pokemon GO might be off the topic but the reason the issue is being caused is due to the root access given by the ROM. CM has its own root access and root manager. Hence there's not thread that'll answer our queries for the issue in this particular ROM.

You might get lucky and just have a loose connection on the display connector, other wise that looks like a broken display panel. Its actually a cheap replacement if you're capable or have a repair shop close by.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bernardobas:
The problem would be to get a new panel, because as the phone is not sold in my country (I bought it in NY), I should buy the new one abroad and then find someone who makes the replacement here.

Anyway, I will first check if I am lucky and it's a loose connector. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for your reply!

How's performance on snapchat ? On CM13 it's awful... Snaps don't send, the app is laggy and it takes a long time to load snaps from other people. On older versions with the old design it works good.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] adobrakic:
For me, picture Snaps send and loading is just fine, but I can't record any video. If I try to record a video, the screen just freezes and nothing happens.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] zebandido:
The same happens on FB Messenger... Cant use any camera. This is exausting
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Bastaerd:
And it is a known problem.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] PedroCaseiro:
Well then, I guess I'll wait till that is fixed... I'll stick to CM13
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bernardobas:
Did I get lucky? Well, it depends on how you look at the situation... The display connector wasn't loose. So I need a panel replacement.

The good part is that I managed to keep my phone alive. Considering that my tools were an orange peeling knife and a plastic icecream spoon (literally), it was a huge achievement.

I've seen the guide dude, what it does is downgrading the bootloader, unlock it and and then upgrading it again. And it does require a computer which what the original poster has an issue with.

---------- Post added at 11:02 ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 ----------

To everyone who has gapps issues: please listen to [MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] 's advice, gapps need to be flashed together with the ROM or it won't work properly. Just use the "add zips" button in TWRP recovery to flash them in one go. Also please be careful which version you use, you need gapps for Android 7.1 and for the x86 processors. Simple instructions.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] rooternewbie:
In my case I'm still at Lollipop. So, can I unlock the bootloader first, THEN upgrade to Marshmallow, THEN root it?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] ccav2000:
If you are still in the stock Lollipop: first unlock the bootloader, then you either upgrade to the ASUS Marshmallow (you waste too much time doing that in my opinion) or you just use the provided booloader upgrade script (see the OP) to upgrade just the booloader and install the TWRP recovery. Then you just install CM14.1 etc, again, see the OP for instructions. Read everything until you are sure you understand the process.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jman0:
Yes, unlocking BL requires a computer, but there's another guide, which I used, to unlock bootloader while on M, without having to downgrade. When I first flashed M, I noticed I hadn't check how to root it, and realized I would have to unloack BL. So I searched the forum and found a way to unlock BL without having to go back to LP. I found what I needed on a Youtube video. And the author of the video mentions [MENTION=1813976]shakalaca[/MENTION], the guy who wrote the guide you were talking about. Just download the scripts and tools from the links on the video description.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
And, it seems, don't use the stock gapps pkg. Use a smaller one.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] ccav2000:
I actually did use the stock package. Did the same in CM13. Had no issues in either case. For CM14.1 since it was a dirty upgrade installation over CM13 I wiped the system first to remove everything from the system itself and then flashed CM14.1 first and the opengapps right after, I just put both zips in the TWRP queue and it flashed them in succession. My device is fully Google-ified now, I like the Google dialer a lot (but the Google contacts is a bit meh).
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
Cool! It looked like everyone who was having problems was using stock.

Weak audio, less bass, weak overall sound

Compared to my stock rom, while playing audio files on my car using aux cord, after flashing to cm14, the sound seems weaker, specially the bass, treble and the overall sound itself was weaker. What could possibly be the problem here? Thank you in advance..
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] rooternewbie:
Do I flash the bootloader upgrade the same way I flash the recovery?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] VinzNguyen:
wrong gapps. u have to download x86 7.1
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] ccav2000:
Go here and scroll to the bottom of the page, there you can find the MM bootloader upgrade package. After you decompress the file use the upgrade.bat to upgrade, it does everything automatically, you just need to put the phone in fastboot mode.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] septimvs80:
Unfortunately, I've read many comments, especially on youtube, about users having the same problem. It might be caused by overheating, because some claim to have solved it by not fast-charging the phone for 24 hours. Give it a try, before changing the panel. Should it work, developers might think to give users the option to disable fast-charging.

In general, I'm realizing that this phone is really worth its price: not much.

Guys, i have a problem

I recenttly reinstall the stock rom after i use this rom for a feww weeks

But when i wanted to install the rom back, my phone won't detect my sim. So install the stock again, but when i do that, my sim was detected again. But again, i install the LOS again, same thing, sim won't detect. Can anyone help?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bernardobas:
It's a bug in 20161230's build. You have to install 20161210, boot the OS, finish the initial CM wizard and then dirty flash the latest build.

That way I managed to get SIM1 detected.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Raiden01:
Actually i didn't have any issues. Other than random cyanogenmod apps force closing on boot up and a bit of battery drain it works flawlessly for me.

I flashed it today directly from CM 13.1(12/12/2016) LP BL+stock gapps to LOS 14.1. I followed the instructions in the first post as it is and I don't think I've got any issues.

I upgraded bootloader, installed LOS 14.1, nano gapps 7/1/2017 and wiped cache and dalvik cache. Rebooted and observed that phone was getting a bit warmer than usual. So I installed Holo N v4k2. Still battery drain is there but I think not as much as the stock LOS kernal.

PS. My phone is Z008.

I don't think you'll run into any issues if you follow Jason's instructions as it is. Take your time, read it slowly and do it. Don't mix up instructions.

Can somenone help me going back to Stock Rom?

I've searched many topics and websites and could find a recovery image and firmware of same model Z008-WW-2.20.40.156, however when I try to flash the recover, I can't enter into recovery mode. I'm stuck on fastboot mode. I was able to return to CM, but I would like to use the stock for now.

Where I can get a reliable recovery image that will work? My model is the ze500ml.

I've followed the steps of these websites:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kuyakom:
Go to the asus website you can find the stock rom for your phone.

Try to flash the bootloader of your previous stock rom then the recovery
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] mewdex:
I already got the firmware from the asus website but the instructions were saying to flash the recovery before the firmware.

So, what you are saying is that I should get the boot.img file from inside the firmware img, flash it, and then flash the recovery.img that I've downloaded and after that flash the firmware through the recovery mode?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bernardobas:
This may help: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785

Soooo, I guess that now I'm really screwed.

That first time i was having a soft-brick and was able to return to CM system. But I decided to try again by using an Asus modder tool that i Found here at the forum and was able to succesfull enter into recovery and flashed the firmware and for a second i thought it worked, however, i got a hard-brick and the phone was bootlooping.

So, i read your post and decided trying to fix this hard brick and couldn't, even though I followed all the steps ( when I'm installing the firmware + Os, it installs the FW but the OS never starts) ... I don't know what else to do ;/

I've lost about 5 hours so far just trying to fix this ****....
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kuyakom:
Are you in LP bootloader before you install this rom? (CM or LOS)

I guess i found your problem try to run this first (LP downgrade bootloader) http://theflamingskull.com/downloads/z008/MM_BL_STUFF/ after that flash the recovery.img then sideload the stock rom

PS sorry bad english
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bernardobas:
Can you get into the bootloader? If so, then I think it's a soft brick and it would be possible to fix the device by following the steps of the thread I mentioned.

It may be that it is region/carrier specific issue. Otherwise it would've been easily solved i guess.

That's correct. I've never had this issue neither in CM13 nor in 14. I would try playing around with APN's parameters a little bit.
