This is a good ROM. But I still got something very annoyed that I can't deal with about the sound. Every time I use the music player to play the music. There's no sound comes out from speaker or headphone. The player is running but no sound, then I go to the system setting menu chose sound setting and tunning the phone ring volume. The sound popped out suddenly ...when the music stop, I want to play again and I have to it over again:eek:......It really drives me crazy.....Does anyone have the same problem just like me......plZzzz
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] mad_bouy:
My setup wizard keeps crashing when I am trying to set up the rom. I have wiped everything. This only happening from the 19th may rom. I have done a full wipe. Any ideas??
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] 24imelqui:
Did you install webview?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Which GApps are you using? Type and date?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Try backing up your current setup (particularly userdata), then wipe data, cache, and system. Reinstall OctOS with GApps only (for now). Reboot, and load some music back. If all is well, slowly reinstall, all the while rebooting and testing music.

I don't have the issue, but I run pretty barebones too. Hope this helps.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Also, I should mention that if using Substratum, after the 5/26 flash you will (probably) need to reinstall the subs app, lest you get FC's from it. Has been happening on more than this device, but not fully spread for some reason.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
My device is z00t. If I don't flash the speaker fix file,

There will be no sound come out. I've tried the Xeon HD rom and it has the same problem just like this one happened.

Thank u for your reply..
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Same here. I don't need to flash the speaker fix file. IIRC that used to be for the 6" model. But there is a post script in the ROM that takes care of that now too, if you have that model (not Z00T).
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
I try not to flash that fix ...then I will tell you the result.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

I did the reinstall and followed you steps. No flashed the speaker fix. And now I am in the system. There is no any sound comes out...
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Interesting... And your Z00T is a ZE551KL?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
Ze601kl
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Oh I see. I will do a little research later on. Depends on what the third flash does, it may be out of date to what is needed for 7.1.2.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
Thank u very much.....
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Probably not going to like this answer...

I looked through the ahal-tfa9887 patch zip, and found something potentially odd:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "cp", "/system/etc/mixer_paths_mtp.xml", "/system/etc/mixer_paths_dual_EU.xml");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "cp", "/system/etc/mixer_paths_mtp.xml", "/system/etc/mixer_paths_dual_WW.xml");

I don't know if EU is a valid SKU, if so then the script ignores inclusion of the JP and CN variants (if not more - could not be bothered to check for all the possible options beyond an ASUSTek download search). If you have one of those (as in, not WW nor EU), then you may just need to copy /system/etc/mixer_paths_dual_WW.xml to whatever your SKU suffix is (such as /system/etc/mixer_paths_dual_CN.xml), after flashing that zip, reboot and profit.

If it works then I can-adjust/have-adjusted the flashable.

Otherwise, it does not look good (such as if you have a WW or EU SKU and/or if did not happen on an older version of a custom ROM). That would tell me that the ZE601KL blobs in that zip (which come from MM stock) are no longer adequate and (since there is no official Nougat) they will have to be bin-modded to whatever is appropriate now (I have no clue there, and would be flying further blind without a logcat) which is probably why the flashable hasn't been updated nor will be in the near future.

Hope this helps.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
I am sorry I am not a expert about this...

You mean I have to find the file called "mixer_paths_dual_CN.xml" from ASUSTEK?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Nah, no worries.

If for example, you have the Japanese-branded ZF2L (as in JP SKU) then you need to use TWRP file manager to copy mixer_paths_dual_WW.xml to mixer_paths_dual_JP.xml, or if you have the Chinese-branded model (CN SKU) then mixer_paths_dual_WW.xml copied to mixer_paths_dual_CN.xml. I don't know if there are any other SKU's in the wild besides those three (WW, CN, JP) so if your phone used to say something different (when back on stock), or if the box has a hint (mine is a WW but the box says nothing to that effect), that those two letters may mean something different to you when it comes to the final file name.

All after flashing the three files (rom, gapps, and audio fix).

I hope this explains.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
Where can I find this file "mixer_paths_dual_WW.xml"? I've checked my device didn't find directory call /system/etc.

The directory system is nothing inside.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Oh right, you will will have to "mount" it with TWRP before finding the file to make a copy.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
I've found mixer_paths_dual_EU.xml mixer_paths_dual_WW.xml 2 files. So I just duplicat mixer_paths_dual_WW.xml

this one and rename it into mixer_paths_dual_cn.xml in the same directory, right???
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
While maintaining the uppercase CN, yes.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
I've tried. It's not working.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Ah okay. Then it is probably that blob possibility I mentioned earlier.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
So this is an unfix bug?? Can you fix it?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Unfortunately I have no idea where to start.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] louiscool:
Anyway, really appreciate it...

:good:

[MENTION=5720423]OfficerJimLahey[/MENTION] I know this is out of topic, but I have to ask. How to back up modemst1, modemst2 and efs for our Z00T Selfie?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] car350:
HI, Is there any way to disable the do not disturb mode when in call? it doesnt turns off once the call is finished.

Thanks
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] alison.rm:
OfficerJimLahey, thanks for your concern in solving the speaker issue.

I also have a Z00T and this is an inconvenience. The ahal-tfa9887.zip works, but the side effect: all the sounds of the speakers is very high, and this may damage the speaker. I use it carefully, but someone lending the phone may have no idea of this problem.

Could not edit the flash to decrease the volume? No one gets an adequate solution :(

Https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24671318762849140
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] :
Why is using the "ahal-tfa9887.zip" file on the Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL the sound coming out of the headset and the phone simultaneously?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Sorry, I never took the effort to figure it out. If it is anything like ZF2 proper, find the "config" partition. Then make a block-for-block copy to a file.

I do not understand. Did you turn on DND while in call and could not disable it until the call was finished (in this case it would be a bug)?

If you have a Z00T (as in ZE551KL), you don't need that flashable. Only for Z011 (ZE601KL) - and as we are finding out, only works for older Android builds (6.0.1 to 7.1.1).

As that flash was meant for MM ROMs, it was blind luck it was able to be used until 7.1.2. As I understand it, the flashable will need to be altered to the new requirements, that is, the MM vendor files binmodded. Since I don't have a ZE601KL (just the ZE551KL which does not need the hack), I would not know where to start.

By the way, to cover any bases, which regional variant (WW, CN, et cetera) do you have?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] :
ze601kl ww
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] car350:
I do not understand. Did you turn on DND while in call and could not disable it until the call was finished (in this case it would be a bug)?

No, it's activated once the call is started, but once is finished it's still active, after some reading found thats is a Android N feature, but it's still a bug (I think) because normally it should be deactivated after they call ends, but it stays on.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Ah okay. Yeah, I don't remember it being a true DND (as call waiting would not work if so), but it's purpose is to mute (set to vibrate) any notifications.

I guess I am swapping SIM cards tonight.

UPDATE:

Back up your device and make a clean flash. If it still persists, I will need a logcat.

I was not able to reproduce the issue (I would provide the screenrecord of it behaving as it should, but identifying detail is displayed in the process).
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] car350:
Why swap sim cards?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
Either my daily driver cannot be modified (no root or ROMs), or I would not be allowed to participate in the "BYOD" program at work for their calendar and email access. So I always have a stock DD and then swap SIMs on long weekends (when I can disconnect from work detail).
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] 24imelqui:
I found your thread still for zenfone, I successfull pull the modemst1 and modemst2 image, but I'm confused with the image size. Is it normally less than 2mb for each image?

Thanks btw
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
2MB each sounds about right. EFS does not need much space.

I must have forgotten what I have written over in that thread. Pretty sure it was just the config partition, though I vaguely remember someone mentioning the above partitions - could have been talking about the qcom ZF2's instead I guess. Anyway...I do remember if there was any doubt, to back up all partitions (except system, cache, and userdata - they get backed up via TWRP anyway). Takes about half an hour, and as long as you are going in the right direction, well worth it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] alison.rm:
Hello, I'm testing the ROM, very fluid!

Tip: In the button customizations, you could put "kill application in the foreground". It has several customizations except kill. I used this in Android 6 (Xposed) and it helped a lot in some situations (I used "hold back button> kill app")

Thank you!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Czarinajan0330:
I still use this rom since 3 months every update is getting better and new features .. Thanks for hard work ..

Webview

I got a problem with the 21/07 build

Chrome Stable Webview

or

Android Webview

seems not working with this build

I got only AOSP Webview.

Some Workaround ?

thx
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
I suppose the 7.1.2 milestone build happened at the perfect time. Because my /firmware partition died a short while later (obv unrelated to the build, since Z00L did not have this issue nor did I hear of anyone else have this problem - but I was considering having the build pulled regardless).

If anyone who uses the Nougat custom ROMs for Z00T (that is, ZE551KL - since I realize there are a few users that call their device Z00T but have the 6" model), and would like to issue a few commands via ADB shell while in TWRP ('dd' gets involved but it outputs to a file so the only risk is if it is mis-used) and share the output, please check out the following thread:

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/help/z00t-corrupted-firmware-files-t3670531

If I can get my Z00T back up and running, I should be able to do OctOS bring-up for it to Oreo (when the dev dust settles there).
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pheno1992:
this is the most stable i tried so far...

smoother than the others.

bugs?

only the camera has a problem so far. after focusing with flash, no led flash on capturing image resulting to dimmed/dark image. same with the other custom roms so i have to flash asus camera for this one.

lemme report you later.

i am still enjoying this ROM..

thanks anyway...

hoping for cosmic os for z00t. i am fan of it and i love that rom the most.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] LoveScarGuitar:
Hey. I have a ZE551KL I will get that information as soon as I am able. Currently at work. Do I need to be on a specific ROM or android version, or does that not affect the information you will need?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
I will need to update this thread I guess.

I got the information I needed for now, my hunch was wrong so now I am regrouping as to what my issue could be. I am thinking RAM integrity errors now but not sure how to test that. Some ROMs do come with a memtest buildable but it is not what I expected.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] LoveScarGuitar:
Okay, if you need help with that just let me know and I'll try to help with what I can.

Hi guys,

I'm happy to share with you my new themes Z5™ Black and Z5™ White :D

As you know Sony didn't make those themes with black and white UI ,so I made them match the wallpapers colours and I also tried to make the white theme like the Xperia Z5 ad with black navbar icons and font.

I also made a separate apk for the icons pack so you can use it with other themes without applying my themes.

And the best thing they work on all Xperia devices with Androdid Lollipop and Marshmallow WITHOUT ROOT ;)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
PN is just a bare bones rom. You have to install a GAPPS package to get Google Apps so that's why it looked sparse to you. That is the whole point. There has also been a recent issue with PN bootlooping, so if you want continue to try and use it see the dedicated PN sub-forum.

You may want to just revert to stock and start fresh. There are many tutorials on how to flash the full stock Google image.

To answer your original question about the system partition, you were correct to format it. No big deal there, and it should not cause a problem for you... most people make the mistake of not formatting system after flashing a custom rom. Make sure you are using the latest platform tools, and system does install piece-wise. If you didn't see that process happening, reformat system and flash it again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjkrisa:
thank you for the clarification of pn i tried installing GAPPS but kept getting an issue of cant mount cache or cant mount system

still havent been able to get stock rom to boot before thinking for sure it would work i installed pn right away so it looked like it was going to boot but just keeps loading then i did it without pn and it just stuck at the black google screen with lock on the bottom.

oh also issue with GAPPS saying i have sd 25 and need sd24 cant find the previous PN rom to try that.

haha gee im horrible just found the gapps 7.1 radio

I have installed different ROMS, stable & developer, on my Mi Max phone but one thing, widgets wasn't refreshing over launcher screen, is it issue with ROM or launches, thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] martin132014:
That's because the widget is auto closed due to Miui optimization....try turn it of on that particular widget and lock app to memory in recent app by sliding down to lock....

thanks for the suggestion, I am really into new MI phone, could you pls let me know for the step by step way to fix, appreciate it, cheers
[Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers] mongoload:
Here

Just open the security app > battery > app battery saver > then disable the optimization for your widget app!

Then you may have to open the widget app then click hkme, then view the recent apps, drag the widget app down, then at the top click the lock icon

That should be fine now!

Honestly, I'd suggest turning off the app battery saving entirely. I did that recently and I discovered that not only did all of my notifications and other background updating apps now work perfectly, the battery life on my phone got better if anything - it certainly didn't get worse, at any rate.
