Hi [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION] and thank very much for this amazing ROM. I come from official MM release and yours is the first Custom tried... i'm very happy of choosed it for my Z00LD.

I have 2 questions:

1) If I want to flash your FireKernel, which is the best Kernel Manager to use?

2) from last 06/06 release I have a problem moving photos from a folder to another using the official Asus Gallery apk. In previous release all worked fine, now I always get a "permission denied" message... What is due for?

Thanks again
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Hey! welcome to XDA and thanks for the review.

1. I recommend EX Kernel Manager. It's paid but worth every penny.

2. Might be SELinux issue and require a fix from my side. I will check it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] casper_wh:
The latest build is pretty much battery consuming if compare to previous ones. Can we wait for a fix?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sway712:
[MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION], changelog for build 15 june, please.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Paresh18shah:
which one 15th or 6th June??
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Added in 3rd post just now.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Might be ZenfoneDoze issue. Turn off Ambient Display in Settings > Display > Ambient Display.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
Can I flash stock variant of openGapps on LOS just like on Aex?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] patrab:
I cant change my secure start up pin, it changes in lock screen not in android is starting
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Chovlack:
Stock launcher bug once time,

Icon Predictive can't show.

How guide to screencapture on this rom ?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Paresh18shah:
Can see SIM enable disable option and thanks for it [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION]

much needed..✌️n i knw its still bugy but it not working for me at all..
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] casper_wh:
Found out that battery drain is heavy only with Fire Kernel, stock is fine, will stick to it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sway712:
[MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION], I am ready to confirm this also.

This is a very good option (enable / disable SIM), however it works very badly now. The switched off SIM continues to work.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:
Anyone else having problems with the prevent accidental wake up setting under the display settings in android settings?

It doesn't seem to function correctly for me, it wakes up even with the proximity sensor covered. I verified that the proximity sensor is working with a play store app, and I even went back to the stock kernel without Xposed but it doesn't make a difference. Even disabled ambient display and tried just in case but no cigar.

This has been happening for the last two builds for me on my ZE550KL (Z00L snapdragon 410 variant)

I'll provide an adb log if anyone looking to fix this needs it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sway712:
This hardware bug maybe... I know him from Russian forums. There is a solution. Some seal between the battery cover and the sensor area solves the problem.

We in Russia do a lot of things unconventional, but it works.))) However, Asus has a sensor problem from the very beginning in this model.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raitz:
Thanks [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION], the lastest ROM is very good, sound working nice with patch on ZE601KL, very smooth, battery life is also good. I think I'll upgrade it as my daily driver but, I have some questions though:

1. My bluetooth adress is 00:00:00:00:XX:XX, is this normal or bug?

2. I cant find options to customize lockscreen shortcuts, is this been removed from LOS? (edit: Profiles QS tile is also missing)

3. Is new builds purposed to be able to update with dirty flashing or a clean flash always required?

Thanks.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Blame me. I need to remove some overlay and I didn't do it as I was sleepy :P. I will fix it in next build.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
That Bluetooth issue is because I need to fix SELinux denials for btnvtool. A lot of stuff seems to be removed from LOS-15.1. You should be able to, I guess though I can't help if GAPPS gives issues.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Asiance:
If you go to settings and ambient display, for me it says on even though the setting is turned off.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:
Hahaha alright thanks, btw you've really been doing great work with FireKernel and this ROM, thanks for maintaining it for all this time.

Ohh yeah any idea why Lineage OS didn't make your ROM official?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Asiance:
BUG

Broken search in settings. Nothing appears, ever
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Rinz47:
i tried Fire Kernel on the new build, the result was neither 2h of Active Screen, so i can confirm that battery drain is heavy. Flashed again stock kernel and everything seems to be good again.

i Still have that "permission denied" problem moving pics among different folders with Asus Gallery Apk.

Thanks again for new build

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:
I have 70 tabs open in Chrome and its working fine for me.

Note: I usually clear my recents before opening Chrome, it feels smoother that way, but it might be placebo, I don't know really.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] deepakt6699:
HI

I successfully installed Lineage OS 15.1 on my Zenfone 2 laser ZE550KL a few days back and i experienced that it woks very fine.

It is working very fine.

My question is how can i update this firmware to the latest build?

Shall i flash again the whole zip file? Or any other method to update the latest build?

PL guide through the issue.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] RAVIDANIEL:
The best rom i ever use is LINEAGE OS....

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Chovlack:

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] AlexGAA1:

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] JonBoydCabaluna:
Error in flashing. Does it have to be always clean flash?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:
Nope, I almost always dirty flash, but a full wipe (system, data and all) usually helps me when I get an error code 7.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] layhtning:
its been a while since I installed any rom in my phone

Using the Z00T version will work on my Z00UD right?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:
Yep it will work
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] layhtning:
Ok thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] room4two:
Ive updated os to latest version jun15. I noticed that:

1. Faster battery discharged.

2. Stock kernel is more stable than firekernel.

3. Not much lag using stock kernel.

4. Power button reboot(all option) is not working properly even su reboot in terminal.

Im glad to send logs to fix power button reboot. Thank you for your work! :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] nevezen:
Is there a definitive guide into getting this ROM on an entirely stock 6.0 ze551kl? Things like bootloader unlock, TWRP, and flashing? I am _very_ rusty.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] MrStark007:
This is no place for rusties. Search and you fill find it. First find the model name of your device. For e.g., For ZE550KL it is Z00L. Then you can find it in the device forums.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Chovlack:
it would be great if this rom so official.

Please sir
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] AlexGAA1:
After the last update, the phone is very awake. Previously, immediately after turning off the screen, the phone immediately went into deep sleep mode. This was well seen for example in the Kernel adiutor. Now this does not happen. I tried both on the stock core and on the firekernel.

Installation did 3 times. The first time just over the old firmware. The second and third time completely with a full wipe. On previous firmware everything was fine.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

I forgot to say. Notifications from applications on the latest firmware come with a very large delay. I do not know what changed there, but it's very bad.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Quoting myself. Everyone who is complaining about battery backup, wake issues, and other stuff. At least read previous posts or changelogs properly, otherwise what is the use of it?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] foolfunda:
Just flashed the latest 15Jun via dirty update ..and its pretty smooth ..no such perf degrade(Reboot to recovery also seems to be working) observed .

steps followed( for dirty update) -

_______________

a) Wipe delvik n cache

b) Flash ROM

c) Flash Gapps 8.1 arm64 pico

d) wipe delvik n cache

e) Reboot

Haapy flashing :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:
How is the battery backup
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] room4two:
please changelogs for june 22 build thank you!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] foolfunda:
SOT 4+ around ..
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Nova Sangeeth:
Why isn't the changelog not yet updated for the latest builds

For z00l
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:
Is it normal for the "Prevent accidental wake up" function to only take effect for double tap to wake? or should it also work with the power button?

Cause the screen comes on when I press the power button with the proximity covered.

Referring to the 22nd June build here.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sway712:
Oh yeah!!! We are all waiting for changelogs...
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] room4two:
Just used jun22 build, and i must say this is the most stable build of los!! Just used stock kernel, battery is ok, gaming is VERY smooth! And no lags! I have no more problem with this build just the reboot and power button problem. Great work bro! Hope this will become official :) i havent tried using firekernel.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:

[MENTION=8516783]raitz[/MENTION] is it possible for you to provide logcat & dmesg for the Bluetooth MAC address issue you reported earlier? As you know, perform some Bluetooth related activity first, so that SELinux denial can be generated.

The build has some minor bug. When you try to manually restart the phone, screen just goes off and not responding to anything. Holding power button for 10 seconds helps, not an experience breaking bug, but it is here, and users who love to restart the phone every now and then just bear it in mind.

Hello,

Do you have any tutorial on how to use F2FS or SDCARDFS?

How do I access the kernel dashboard to enable fast charging?

Thanks for your work!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Nova Sangeeth:
Why does the video recording not working on android Oreo

I wonder why does it take a long time to port the camera and get it to work in android Oreo .

All the ROMs I have used are having the common issues

And there are ui lags often .

Has Asus zenfone 2 laser reached its limits?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Use a kernel manager to enable fast charging and SDCARDFS is being used by default in Oreo. To use F2FS, format your data partition as F2FS.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
You can say that. All devices having same issues are old.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] casper_wh:
Well, that's great! Nice to see you going official.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
This is not an issue. New stuff will take up some juice. That's expected. I can suggest you fine-tune your settings in such a way that it saves battery.

Hi [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION]

Great work with the this ROM by the way. This is much appreciated! I recently used the latest build along with GAPPS Micro. Did the new phone setup and once I flashed SuperSU and checked root access via Root Checker and it stated that my phone is not rooted. Also checked Trust and it also shows Root Access is disabled. Any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Use Magisk or LOS su. SuperSU is dead.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] AljenAraneta:
My mistake, I used LOS su via the link you provided in OP. Not successful but I'm trying Magisk now. I'll update soon. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Magisk worked. Thanks for this again! :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:
Had the same issue and never solved it, if you ever find out how to, do post back here and tell us about it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Asiance:
I think the solution is not encrypting xD

I have rooted and twrp installed zenfone selfie in android 6.0.1. I don't unlock the bootloader while installing root. Now my bootloader is locked. Can I flash LineageOS 15.1 without unlocking bootloader ? Anyone tried ? Please reply :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raitz:
That's great news bud, we users are very thankful for your work.

Would be able to update from the Unoficial builds via OTA to Official ones? Tomorrow I will test latest Rom and provide logs, Thanks for all the help.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Loupluttle:
bro can i install rom without unlocking bootloader ? please answer me :D
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raitz:
No. You have to unlock bootloader to install any non-Asus ROMs, also, to instal LOS you need to install TWRP, which a unlocked bootloader is required. I've unlocked with Asus oficial apk, then flashed TWRP via fastboot and installed LOS. Search on the forums for more details. Good luck.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:
Hahaha that was my solution as well
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
I guess you might need to do a clean flash. After that, you can use either OTA or unofficial delta apps like CyanDelta to download delta updates.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Noted, I will look into it. Might be related with TWRP though. I promised for unofficial updated TWRP and that will arrive this month.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] daniu:
Hi

Honestly: I don't really care about bootloader status. How would I check that?

I never unlocked my bootloader and am running twrp with lineage os now. Not sure how I really did it but iirc there are stock roms that can be flashed with the standard recovery that include twrp. Not sure if that process unlocks the bootloader - if you tell me how to check I'll do that

Regards
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] RAVIDANIEL:
thank you sir for giving us that great new.....

CANT WAIT FOR OFFICIAL ONE....
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
So, time to report bugs, everyone, as I want the first official build to be satisfactory for everyone.

Here is the issue I noticed and needs to be fixed.

1. Reboot to recovery and bootloader results in the normal reboot ( Disappears when rooted using Magisk :weird:)

2. Pixelmaster camera's Panorama mode results in app crash (Might be the app issue as all other camera apps work fine, [MENTION=7813190]mg712702[/MENTION] and me are looking into it)

3. Bluetooth MAC address doesn't show up properly (I need to fix a SELinux denial and it will be fixed)

4. Encryption results in a different password in TWRP (Might be TWRP issue, I will see what I can do)

Now let's talk about that infamous battery drain issue. We are running Oreo on an old device which has almost died. You shouldn't expect battery life to be that great. As I can see, there are peoples who get 4.5 to 5 hours SOT on latest builds and that's normal. Many of you have been complaining that FireKernel is also not working now and I agree. I need to update it. Another issue was lagging. I will say again, old device and latest OS. Almost all other msm8916 devices suffer from lags and all other XDA forums are filled with the same issue. In case, you notice any other issue, reply and I will see if I can help.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:
Yep bro you are right on 15.1 I'm getting 4hours but in 14.1 I am getting 6hours + as you said old device new software except that and lags remaining every thing is great sir

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 AM ----------

And bro one more I don't know if others have this issue the pixel master camera app is slow when I click an pic it takes more time to save and also while moving the camera up and down it moves very slow and same on selfie also weird I don't know it is app problem or others sir
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Chovlack:
Stock kernel on lineage os 14.1 so good
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Asiance:
It is a twrp issue. Twrp 3.2.1 doesn't support 8.1 Oreo encryption. Can you add it to the first posts not to do this?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] FranzShin21:
I have noticed it using pixel master camera on selfie, but if you turn off beautification the delay will be gone
