This happens when an app that has root access is open
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] dcduartee:
It means an app is using root acess
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] filipe_m:
How i can see what is that app?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] brunohrbarros:
In privacy you can see which apps have root access or you can close open apps until that symbol disappear.

In my case ES file explorer keeps that even if you force close and I need to reboot.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] filipe_m:
Thanks...

Es file Explorer do the same to me....
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
Personally, I don't have root constantly on. Not a good idea. I only turn it on when needed, do what I need to do, turn it off. Reboot. Better safe than sorry.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] texla:
Thanks, but I've found it to be a bit more complicated than that but yes, that is one way I've looked at. I've already bricked it once so i'm looking for a thread with more details and even active links to files needed if possible. Many of the unbrick links are for pre MM bootloader and a lot of links are dead now for the files. Just want to return to stock though - I'm not currently bricked.

I want to do the whole thing this time, recovery and all back to day 1 LP build if possible. I think I have to change back to LP bootloader but from there I'm not sure which raw file and from where to get it would take me back that far.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] texla:
Thanks! Just a few questions: Is it OK to use this while still having TWRP installed as my recovery? Do I need to downgrade bootloader to LP first or un-root before using AFT?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
Yes it's OK. This is going to rewrite everything including bootloader. So it really doesn't matter what's on there now.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jags3g:
Another thing you can try to do to go back to stock is:

1. Download Asus marshmallow (.223) Stock firmware from Asus site

2. Keep it in memory card, wipe all and flash it with TWRP, the installation will fail but it will right the original recovery

3. Now after installation failed reboot into recovery, you will get Asus recovery, and now, select apply update from memory card, select zip and after installation, you will be on Stock marshmallow

4. If you want to go to lollipop, just flash the downgrade ZIP from Asus

AudioFX is ON but there is no effect of it. Whether its ON or OFF audio remains same. I am on the latest LineageOS build. How to make AudioFX work?

*EDIT* AudioFX is working fine. It shows its effect only with default system music player.

How is the latest update Guys? Any significant improvements?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] yogiprimasatya:

Hey, does your AudioFX works now? Because I am also having similar issue, whether the auido fx is ON or OFF there is no change in music. I am 26 May 2017 build.

*EDIT* never mind. AudioFX is totally fine but it works only with the default system music app.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] texla:
Not yet. I tried the other method with Asus Flash Tool and all it did was destroy my recovery. It stopped installing raw image and said failed after 10 seconds.

EDIT got recovery back from modder here:

Anyone have installed Dolby atmos?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Waterrmelonn:
Hi guys I used to run this rom before I ****ed up while trying to update the recovery and rom. Ended up soft bricking it. I left it for a month and I'm ready to go back to installing lineageos on it. I already managed to unbrick it, and I have version 2.20.40.194. I also have the bootloader unlocked. I mistakenly installed the MM version of TWRP it. I'm not sure what to do now though. What steps should I take now? I'm a little nervous of ****ing it up again so I'd like some help. Thanks

DOLBY is not compatible with our phone
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Kekerthespker:
Is it a hardware or software problem
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] texla:
I believe it's software but I can't tell either way. Gps status shows no satellites ever and I'm back to stock and still nothing. It broke around the time I switched to Lineage but I don't understand how it won't come back in another rom. Sensor apps seem to show a gps though I can't tell if it's the hardware or not.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Kekerthespker:
Hmm i am thinking the same thing. Ive been having this problem since CM 13. It really started happening when the bootloader updated to M but when I tried going back it didnt fix anything :(. Sensor apps also say its ok, but HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer so im not really sure :\.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] keshav_c17:
a confirmed BUG needed to be fixed.

I dont know by what name should i describe you this bug but i can tell the procedure to produce this bug.

1. Open Gallery app.

2. Open any photo you want to open.

3. Tap on pen in bottom left corner to edit it.

4. Editing screen will open up. Now select any filter, say, select Punch and the very next second whole screen becomes grey/black. And i have also tried this with ASUS Gallery app and same thing happens.

I am seeing this greying of the whole screen at some other places also. This is a software flaw. This bug must be solved and should be highlighted to the developers.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] veevyvy:
Can you check if the following solves the problem?

1. Open Settings -> Developer options (if no such option please check elsewhere how to enable it) -> Disable HW overlays.

2. Make sure that the OPTION is ON. (Which means we want to disable the HW overlays.)

Does it solve your problem?

I faced similar problem before and saw somebody mentioning the above which fixed the problem. However, a problem I currently faced is: the option will be disabled again on each reboot. So I have to set it manually after every reboot and haven't found a way to fix this minor problem. Anybody?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] keshav_c17:
Okay, thank you very much for your help. Disabling HW overlays solved that problem, but yeah, after reboot that option automatically turns off. This is not good. I hope devs should fix this in future upcoming updates.

EDIT- i found that turning off of the option 'Disable HW overlays' in developer options at reboot is normal thing to happen. I am finding some way like some script or something that can turn it ON automatically at startup.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] veevyvy:
Great that it helps!

I tried to find something to turn it on automatically before, including scripts shared by others but for different phone modeled, but so far none succeeds. Hope you can find out some solution and share it here.

Yeah, I stumbled on that problem yesterday too. A reboot "fixed" it, as the other poster suggested, but that isn't a proper fix...

Hi, not sure if this is the right thread for this question but here goes - I'd like to install lineageos on my Z00A. I followed the install guide on their site, it said to unloack the bootloader with an asus apk. That did not work because the apk method only works on android 5. I found this thread - https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/unlock-zenfone2-android-6-0-beta-unlock-t3411264 but I'm unsure about running a random script from mega and also someone wrote that even with it unlocked you can't flash custom roms without downgrading to android 5.0. Has any of this changed? (asking because the thread's been dead for a while) And if so how would I go about flashing the rom? Thanks for any and all replies :)
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
Look in the general section for the z00a modder tool by, I believe it's, Giovix. Use that to unlock and install TWRP. Then come back and install the Rom.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] keshav_c17:
Default Weather Service doesn't work for me.

cLock widget doesn't show weather. And when i go to widget settings of the app it says ''no weather provider service is installed'' despite this ROM already has weather service and weather provider app installed (as shown in the screenshot) I just want weather on my Lock screen and home screen that's it. How to do that?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] keshav_c17:
No its not true that to install custom rom we have to downgrade to android 5.0 . I myself unlocked the bootloader being on stock Android 6.0.1 rom and installed TWRP recovery and then rooted it. I stayed on rooted stock ROM for a while and then 1 week before only i have flashed Lineage OS ROM. Flashing ROM is a very easy task but still it needs some precautions and step by step correct procedure. Just make sure that you have the correct files while unlocking, rooting and flashing ROM. Verify and check the files twice by yourself before using it or you will get errors or in worst scenario you can brick your device. Good luck!

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] ufa:
I have done the procedure and it was all good ( stock MM 6.0). As I'm in a linux box, i had to tweak the script a little to make it work on my machine.

It's a script, you can see all the things it does and even do it manually.

Just make sure you follow the steps and use a compatible twrp
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] SirAnKeKu:
Back at the CyanogenMod days, the weather provider must be downloaded from play store. It was yahoo weather or openweather. It's a small add-on and will appear on that page once it's installed. Now, it's kinda useless. Because, the add-on is no longer available in play store. If you have the apk, then u r lucky.

P.S, that weather service and weather provider in system is a part of google

Found the reason (bug). Still don't know what we're those errors but that happened because while taking the Twrp Nandroid Backup my phone was plugged-in. But when I tried backup again but this time phone was not plugged-in for charging, no issues at all ! But that's weird issue.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Bartz007:
Do you mean like manual update via twrp? That's how i do it. :)

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Bartz007:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] kenbo111:
Each update is the full rom so it is OK. It's safe to just update.

Why would you say that? There's no difference if you do every update or skip a couple. You don't need to clean install.
