HI, I have the build dated 7/05/17 and I want to update to the latest build, so I just need to flash the latest build via twrp that's it?

I can directly jump from build dated 7th May 2017 to 1st july 2017?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] akhilkgeorge93:
Yes just by a dirty flash u can update your rom if you are using the older version of the same rom, dirty flash means just wipe delvic and cache then flash your rom bt twrp
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] daultimate:
thank you :) will update it to the latest version now :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] s.ramdhani:
Hi,, have you already flash the 01.07 builds?,, Because on my device it says that the zip is corrupt, thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] daultimate:
I just now installed it and it works pretty fine. Just did a dirty flash.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] akhilkgeorge93:
Download the latest builds from infinitus rom website just google it and download the zip file without any error then you can update keeping all your datas, im on 15/06 build it works pretty fine and have 22 batery backup just by using a magisk module and holo n vg3 kernel
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kaustubh.sarkar:
I don't know if it's just me, but if you have magisk 13 installed then you'll have to uninstall it before update. Otherwise it'd show error 7. After update flash the magisk zip again.

Is Bluetooth aptX supported?

Say, does Resurrection Remix support Bluetooth audio over aptX? I'm currently on the 20170615 build with the Holo Kernel v5g3, and when I tried to connect a bluetooth headset that's capable of doing aptX, I found the audio is still lagging significantly, and further debug through logcat (logcat | grep a2dp) shows this:

07-01 17:42:03.176 834 928 I bt_btif_media: btif_a2dp_encoder_init Selected Codec SBC

Which means it's still using SBC... so I'm not certain what I'm needed to do to get aptX working... or that I have to use stock or by some other way... Without aptX I really couldn't use bluetooth headsets as the latency (~0.5s) with SBC is unacceptable.

PS, after searching a bit I found about LineageOS supporting aptX officially, and that this device (by the name ZE551ML) is listed at aptX.com, so aptX should be usable on this...

Also, the libaptX codec libraries found in XDA (originally for OnePlus) would not work on it as I tried, since it's for ARMv7A anyway. I'm able to find a library related to aptX (/system/lib/libbt-aptX-x86-4.2.2.so) from latest stock MM update.zip found on Asus support site, but it's not enough to get aptX working. I could not find that file in the latest official LineageOS update.zip, so I'm not certain if official LineageOS builds really support it.

On the other hand, there were hardly any discussions regarding this matter for this device... so I don't know if there were already solutions to this that I haven't found yet.

EDIT: Tried flashing ARISE core modules and VIPER4Arise 2.5. Still no use. The BT headset still uses SBC. Searching the posts on ARISE mentions something about a Settings -> Advanced inside something where the aptX option should be but I couldn't find it anywhere. (NOTE: ARISE does contain the x86 aptX libraries) Tried adding some build.prop values related to it and still not helping either.

EDIT 2: Like others reported in the ARISE thread... I found out my sensors were broken after flashing ARISE as well, notably proximity sensors, and auto orientation stopped working as well.

I finally found a fix for safetynet on z008 even if you are using magisk version 12

1. Disable developers settings

2. In KAM misc controls under misc settings enable android logging

3. Uninstall busybox if you have it installed and instead enable magisk busybox

4. Flash the universal fix file for magisk hide

And done
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mjesani:
Yup that works. Thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Froosoik:
So.. What about the "Ressurrection" label in the quick settings panel in the last build 07.01?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zonexo:
Ya I got the same problem too. Restored from titanium.

So I uninstalled and installed again ... works fine now.

Btw, I also got a no. of problems when I 1st flashed the rom. The most problematic one switching from wifi to 4g when I leave my wifi hotspot. The 4g just can't work. I need to switch on and off many times. But all these seem to disappear once I updated the bootloader to 4.21.40.134 (http://www.theflamingskull.com/zenfone2.html).

Guys... Help...

Just freshly flashed my phone to latest build update (RR-N-v5.8.3-20170701-Z00A-Official.zip)

Magisk v12.0 SafetyNet Check Failed...

Result is SafetyNet Failed: CTS Profile mismatched

even the recent build

RR-N-v5.8.3-20170630-Z00A-Official.zip (logging system works)

still having a Magisk Safety net problem...

the only working build so far is the June 08 update....

any possible solution or fix for this problem...

My phone is Asus Z00A...

Plus logging system not functioning, don't know why it crashed even a fresh update or flash...

help me... [MENTION=7111568]say99[/MENTION], possibly the coding problem in Magisk that causes the issue.... are there possible temporary fix while Magisk is under development??? Like patch using TWRP???
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] persieghini:
What's up with all these updates?

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] persieghini:
Thanks!

Any difference between 30/6 and 1/07 updates?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zonexo:
Guess I spoke too soon. Today, the problem came back again ... no 4G, google services keep crashing. Apps which depend on google, such as whatsapp can't run.

Resetting didn't help.

I'm trying to recall what changes I did to the system. The only few stuff I can recall is:

1. changing the write access of the sdcard thru platform.xml.

2. install busybox free

3. unlock bootloader in developer option

Could it be one of these problems?

Anyone has the same experience?

Thanks

Flashed to 20170701.

Dirty-flashed to 20170701 build yesterday (Note that there were two builds with the same name but with different size. From what I checked, the larger build includes Magisk 12, though you may want the smaller build and flash Magisk 13 beta afterwards).

From my previous post regarding ARISE breaking sensors... Yes, after flashing (probably losing ARISE core modules in the process), the sensors were working again, even after reflashing Holo Kernel v5g3. As soon as I reflash ARISE core modules (without Viper4ARISE) the sensors get broken so in the end, the ROM cannot use it.

I dunno if Viper4Android can be safely used on this ROM without breaking sensors, though I don't think it'll be of any help in getting aptX working (which is essential if I ever wanted to use a Bluetooth headset).

Again, the warning about custom kernels in the OP should be changed to warn users not to use certain custom mods especially ARISE, as they're the ones that do and will break sensors. Custom kernels like Holo Kernel are not to blame.

PS... I dunno if anyone has any good solution regarding the screen flickering issue which is also present in Lineage OS... It's not a serious deal, but my eyes can feel as tiring as if I was looking at some good old CRT monitors operating at 60Hz.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] C-Ph87:

Sorry for late response...

busy in testing the device...

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

yep, i perform that action and still not working...

but i found a temporary fix from testing the rom update....

Steps are as follows...

once system fully loaded, open magisk and perform check

if the check result is a failure

go to settings and change it from enforce to permissive

then restart your phone

once fully loaded, the check result will be successful in magisk

I wont guarantee that this will work all the time

this is tested through my testing methodology

it may vary between devices

I accidentally wiped my data on RR and then decided to flash lineage. Ever since I cannot get my sim 1 working. I even tried flashing xosp. I reflashed RR but still couldn't get my sim 1 working. Please help:confused:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] LSS4181:
Are your sensors still working after installing Viper4Android? (e.g. auto-orientation and proximity sensors) In my case with ARISE flashing the core components will break and as far as I can tell it's 100% reproducible (with or without Viper4ARISE, and with or without Holo Kernel).

Also, will this help with getting aptX working as there were hardly any discussions of significance around this device regarding of this matter. ARISE core components contain x86 aptX libraries, but even so with ARISE I was unable to get it working. I intended to use a aptX-capable bluetooth headset in the future, but without it actually using aptX, I'll have to stay with my current, wired one.

EDIT: Off-topic, but I wish if I can actually replace the dull signal strength bars with actual numbers in dBm. I miss that feature so much. It was a wonderful feature with my old devices since CM7 and up to CM10 (and respective AOKP versions also) and I always loved it... but looks like neither RR nor LineageOS is natively providing this neat feature anywhere I could see.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] LSS4181:
Just tried installing Viper4Android myself using the Nougat I/O fixed 2.5.0.5 apk. Everything seems fine here (sensors OK, with latest Holo Kernel using TheSSJActive), though I haven't really tested with real stuffs yet.

I dunno about how earlier versions of ARISE (like Numbers) work with the phone, but to my device, the sensors are 100%-guaranteed to break (regardless of kernel) when trying the latest ARISE (Magnum Opus), and just the core modules (without installing anything else) would cause the break (losing auto-orientation, brightness, proximity sensor during phone call, etc).

As for aptX libraries... well, I took the three related files (libaptX_encoder.so, libaptXHD_encoder.so, libbt-aptX-x86-4.2.2.so) from ARISE's zip and tried placing them in /system/lib, setting the correct permissions and reboot. Still no avail, the A2DP still selects SBC from what I saw in the logcat. (My SELinux is set to Permissive through RR's config, as I also run Tincore which appears to be unable to detect any connected devices when set to Enforcing)

I haven't tried putting it in the /system/vendor/lib yet, but in stock ASUS ROM the aptX library (libbt-aptX-x86-4.2.2.so) is located in /system/lib. Perhaps I may need to confirm by trying it myself, or go finding and reading the A2DP-related code from RR/Lineage sources... Still, I fear the cause might be in the Bluetooth stack RR/Lineage of our phone is using, as I once read that it only works in combination with Qualcomm's Bluetooth stack.

EDIT: Just checked the code in RR's GitHub, in the bluetooth-related android_external_bluetooth_bluedroid repo I found no apparent trace of aptX integrations. Given forked repos are not searchable, I could only search the related terms (like "codec", "aptX") in the parent repo (CM), and then look at the same file in RR's fork... In the parent (CM) repo, searching for "codec" yielded a few MP3 and SBC-related lines, while searching for "aptX" returned nothing.

So in the end, the aptX is probably not usable on those custom ROMs as of now. Right now I really don't know if there are any ways to reduce the latency (including cutting audio quality down to the point the latency is no longer noticeable), as the 0.5-1s latency incurred by SBC is making Bluetooth headsets unusable for purposes other than listening to music and making phone calls where the latency wouldn't matter.

EDIT 2: Further searches to android_system_media (forked from LineageOS) found some positive results regarding aptX, but not much and not really helpful in determining whether it would look for the libraries or not.
