Hi all.

I have a ZF2 551ML which I can use only for testing and/or in particular occasion because of a strange problem which affects it, ie it abruptly starts to activate by itself whichever app it has, disallowing any user intervention (BTW, any idea about this?)

Anyway, in this phone I wanted to (re)start the installation of Borets24 ROM (11.11.2017 version) from scratch because I want to test how it works from the beginning.

What I found and I want to communicate to others here is:

1. A possible bug. If one sets Settings -> Asus custom settings -> PageMarker -> "Activate floating button" to YES and, at the same level, "Create a shortcut for PageMarker" (on the Home Page), when you tap on this icon, then you have an FC.

This is because it requires some permission which are not present.

To override this I went to Settings -> Apps in order to enable them. but the App PageMarker does not exist.

2. A minor glitch: in the Asus Cover now it is possible to have some more options with respect to the stock FW. One of this is that you can have the info from app "What's next" but Borets24 does not include anymore this app in his ROM. So if you want to have it on the cover, then you need to download it (or Borets24 can include it again in his distro from the next release).

My 2 cents tip.

---------- Post added at 17:50 ---------- Previous post was at 17:44 ----------

Oops...

I see the additional apps (could not be activated) into the cover.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kenbo111:
When in settings/apps hit the... In the corner then hit show system. Then you will see PageMarker
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
1. No, I never force close page marker

2. I wrote many time already that camera, what's next, magic ball,maps is not supported by cover 3. if you not trust me you can watch many reviews cover 3 app on youtube. I many times ago found how add some hidden points to menu with hope that in future found how make it works- i can't yet... and oficial cover 3 app not support viber and asus SMS/MMS even. Therefore it is not bug, it is not realised functions which lazy to saw:)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] topoldo:
I'll check again

I trust you! I probably was inattentive or not attentive enough ;)

Sorry I made a mistake! As soon as I installed Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, PageMarker started to work. Probably it is not compatible with Asus Internet Browser that was the only browser installed when I tested PageMarker the first time.

hi master can you change status battery icon? thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] djreed:
Hi! Is it avaiable to mod your kernel in this ROM to lower DPI mode? ZF2 have hardcoded dpi in kernel so when I change it in system some apps have weird layout (all apps with image processing - for eg. Camera).
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Lance23:
Camera is out of focus, no matter what mode to select.

2017/11/16

Added screen density settings (DPI). Settings-Asus customize settings- Set DPI. Switching is very fast, you do not need a full reboot, when you select the desired value, you will be prompted to reboot-agree-there will be a quick reboot (soft reboot)

Returned the fonts from Zenfone 4, emoji from android 8.0, weather widget on loсkscreen

Added SnapView mode from Lolipop

Updated calculator, system webview

Returned the stock style of notifications, thereby fixed the ugly buttons on them that stood out

Fixed: Page Marker crashed when you requested permissions and had to go manually to Settings-Accessibility and enable it

Find own bug: by mistake I added Asus Mobile manager support :D you can install it from GP and it will work.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
Now in 2017/11/16 dpi simple switch from settings. do not forget remove that scripts, rows, it may cause bugs. Also build.prop row will not not take effect because boot.img has priority, in boot.img DPI set 310 dpi for 550ML and 470 for 551ML. And also our device read in first not build.prop but build.zeYOUR_MODEL.YOUR_CPUGHZ.prop. On future, if you will be add row to build.props add to BOTH build.props

There are patch update ?

I'm already download and install 2017/11/16 Version
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kenbo111:
Nope. Just dirty flash this one right over the other
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] LightDestory:
Full-Rom Borets' release has been a problem for me from start: I have a metered connection so I can't download so often!

We can't obvisouly request PATCHs, this is his rom and he do what he wants.

But I resolved this way:

- Think about Borets' Rom as a monthly rom (or also 2 month)

- When he release a new version just wait 1-2 days to prevent hotfix release problem.

I saved this month like 3-4GB of my connection this way XD

Does changing the dpi via the settings distort some apps? Because back then, changing dpi (using root app) distorted some apps like ASUS messenger and such and looked a bit odd.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] wawa07:
sorry for late reply, but yes the standalone sync app did the trick!

Downloaded from :

Thank for your help and work ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
hey, forget damn apps which change wm density therefore cause interface bugs. Delete it forever and never use!. I make that change real ro.sf.lcd_density therefore will not distort.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
it cause some bugs with modern Goole calendar apps or I can include this sync in my ROM?

Added point on / off navibar, and when you turn on navigation bar, the touch keys, as expected, are disabled

The item to select the screen resolution between FullHD and HD. In HD mode, the touch keys do not work, so I made sure that the navibar appear. Another note: be careful, if you put a high DPI in HD mode, then everything will fall down with an error! The native DPI at the given resolution is 320, so be guided by this, do not put, for example 460 :D

Now the selected Selinux mode is turned on with the system, and not after some time after the boot is turned on, as it was before, which gives a lot of advantages

Now you can synchronize ASUS calendar with google account, as it was in Android 5
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] wawa07:
I did a quick test and Google calendar app seems to work properly even with this sync app.

(But you already added it to the ROM ?)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
Attention!!! Attention ZE550ML users! I forgot deleted script system/su.d/dpi400 Remove it- and BORETS ROM 16.02 should CORRECT work with root
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chteh0721:
You mean delete the file before we root it ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
No, after root if possible. Or you can do it from TWRP file manager. In this case root not required. You need in TWRP to set Mount system before

2. In next build I reduce manual brightness too

Hi [MENTION=6810551]BORETS24[/MENTION] i am using your rom for some time and it is great...

In the beginning i was using some apps to improve battery that i saw in a xda topic (greenify, amplify and Power Nap) and battery life was really bad...

I uninstalled all that apps and just started using AsusMobileManager with a great battery improvement...

In this build you remove it. What do you suggest to control apps autostart? Can i install AsusMobileManager again?

Thanks!!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
AsusMobilemanager- is great evil. Without it battery life will be improve, trust me. I build-in protect against AMM, if you try to install it you get message that it Incompatible with device:D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] filipe_m:
Thanks for your answer...

Do you think is no need any app to control apps autostart like greenify?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
No need control autostart since Android 5.x.x I think
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
Yes, Asus try kill all own apps, which will be on Lolipop and change it on Google app, but I resurrect it(Asus SMS/MMS, Asus Email, Asus Browser, SnapView mode, and now with your help, Resurrect and Asus Calendar). I very glad because hate google analogs
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] deda20:
High borets very nice work

On 16/11 it was very nice to see asus mobile manager again

But it was removed on 18/11 clean install lost support for mobile manager
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
Hi, mobile manager support still persist. but i forget again remove from installation script deleting AMM. Install it again and use. I promise that right now go to script and remove rows about deleting AMM and in next build all will be fine... But I still against this bad app, because it make worse. I not use it and not advice anybody. Remember it.

Now, to turn on navibar, switching the screen resolutions is enough soft reboot, and not normal reboot, as in previous versions

I tried to eliminate all script conflicts, and now when I return from HD mode to Full HD the elements will not be microscopic

I returned Mass Storage support and made it on / off on the fly, the item is also in the Asus customize settings (you still need to pre-switch to SELinux Permissive, otherwise there will be an empty disk, no content)

In individual settings, Asus created the category "BORETS ROM extra settings", where he placed all the settings that I added, grouped it for convenience, in short,

Fixed: installation script was removed the Mobile Manager

Fixed: the CD explorer was not displayed in the Windows Explorer, there was an empty disk

Thanks for the amazing rom :)

I have to questions if you can answer please,

1. What does SElinux mode do?

2.if i change resolution to (1280x720 with nav bar) will it reduce battery use or something?

Thanks in advance
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
?

1. Hmm, you never meet with apps and utilities which not work in enforcing mode and require switch to permissive mode? I can't believe

2. In theory should be higher game performance and decrease power consumption, if you interested, try and say your opinion
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
Damn, are you kidding??? I try fix bugs which not persist! In Asus Camera settings is option "Set volume keys as". Two variants:

1. Zoom

2. Shutter
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Talionator:
Ohh, no i never required switching between modes, or i had but never knew it can be done..

Tganks man :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
you can easily googling about selinux a place of questions in thread or go to wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux

SELinux enforcing not allow to work some apps and utilities(Viper, Paragon NTFS Mounter etc.) and also some options in my ROM(NTFS support, USB Mass Storage etc) therefore i add opion with switch to Permissive mode.

are you sure that use Performance mode in Power settings? because my ROM have modified powersave modes since winter 2017... In balanced mode max CPU freq is 1583 MHz,for example
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fabricioinsider:
well the power mode is in normal, as always the normal mode on any ROM has always provided great performance in games
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
hey,in other ROM normal mode(balanced mode in Russian locale) is 1833 MHz, in my ROM is 1583 MHz, no need tell about other ROMs in this case. If you set Performance mode, Cpufreq will be 2333 or 1833
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Magister54:
My always has been in Normal mode too. Max should be 1833MHz, and let the kernel do the scaling with the governor.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] BORETS24:
Should 1833 or not is developer wish, I wish in February 2017 make that in Normal mode max freq is 1583 MHz, in Ultra saving max cpufreq is 1333 MHz:D how much time i will continue explain this that you understand? If in Performance mode will be lag even, i will find reasons
