[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jacoghi:
Development is ceased for this rom indefinitely. We now have the latest nightlies on the hands of a way better developer than myself, so head out to Flex's thread.

CyanogenMod 13 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android Marshmallow, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Instructions - READ! READ! READ!

Valid for everyone! Please, don't ask repetitive questions if you haven't followed the procedure, you'll be ignored.

- Unlock Bootloader (Google it).

- Download and extract the file.

- Install a compatible Recovery (TWRP) - this is not mandatory, but needed for flashing GAPPS (Google it).

- Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM (Mandatory - fastboot is finicky in our phones and fails some times!)

- Wipe system, internal data & cache partitions.

- Flash both extracted files (Google "Minimal ADB Fastboot" and "Google USB drivers"...):

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

- If fastboot fails, go back into recovery, do the wiping again, reboot to fastboot, it will work this time. (don't ask me why, Asus' stuff...)

- Optional: Go into recovery right after flashing and install Google Apps (OpenGapps, x86, 6.0, any version) (Google it).

Broken Features / Known Issues

DT2W - Double Tap to Wake doesn't currently work. ROM is fixed up, however the kernel needs fixing - will come in some days - use volume rocker for now. - SOLVED. Will be included in next release, should there be one.

FM Radio is unsupported - if you don't like it, go back to stock.

Shown baseband info is wrong. I don't care at all, won't be fixed - if you don't like it, go back to stock.

Lights are a bit buggy - If the phone is charged, the notification lights don't work anymore - likely a kernel fix as well.

SELinux is disabled and will NEVER be enabled. Our phone is not that powerful, so having it disabled improves performance - if you don't like it, go back to stock.

FullHD recording has dropped frames - go with HD 720 - likely not fixable.

Not all microSD cards are born the same - adoptable storage may or may not work for you.

Google Apps may be a little sluggish on the first run - ROM is odexed but GAPPS are not (building cache).

ROM is rock stable, I didn't observe any reboots in several days of use - if you don't like it, go back to stock

If you have the phone with 2GB of RAM, this will fly on it - if you don't like it... Well...
