For me, its ok not official LOS. As long as, [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION], will not totally abandon our device. Maybe he can update our device once in a while with the new changes of the official LOS. I just dont know if its that simple or [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION] has enough free time to do it. But, anyways, Thanks [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION] for keeping our device alive with new os version! :victory:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] nevezen:
How long does one have to wait for the first boot to complete upon initial 15.1 setup? I just flashed the latest nightly as well as opengapps micro and magisk and waited about 15 minutes only to have it reboot itself back into twrp. I have the ze551kl/Z00T.

edit: reflashed without magisk and now works. Boot time is still sad though (~5min).

edit2: fixed itself lulz

Thank you [MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION]. A breath of new life for my aging ze551kl. Battery now lasts longer than before on stock M. There are a few minor faults like developer mode not "sticking" but I can live with that.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Tejesh27:
there's no official app for this device, I guess I have to downgrade to older firmware on which the unlock app for ZE551KL works for ZE550KL
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:
Yes official app works on lollipop try that
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] ousuf:
And Marshmallow. I unlocked bootloeder on 6.0( stock) by asus app
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:
But it doesn't worked for me tried an another way with pc and unlocked on 6.0
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Tejesh27:
Now that there's no maintainer for this device, is it really worth changing to LineageOS?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] papoy1019:
For me yes!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:
According to me no switch to RR or nitrogen or bootleggers rom now it will not in development so better to shift if you want to stay you can its upon u or if this started again the more bugs will. Be fixed
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Mirajoo7:
I think we need another maintaner ASAP :rolleyes:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OldKnight:
I have LineageOS (previously 14.1, now 15.1) and never unlocked my cellphone. Unlocking is unnecessary.

I followed these tutorials:

Hello,

This is not the correct thread for your queries.

Please see below thread for unlocking bootloader.

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/ze600kl-official-bootloader-unlock-t3273263

Thanks
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OldKnight:
You did not understand. Pay attention.

I did not ask any questions. I was responding to someone else (Tejesh27).

My answer is that unlocking is unnecessary.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] MGStech:
Wt ??? . Now lineage os is also not official ?

Which means , the development has came to an end for our device ?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] nevezen:
iirc, the 550KL and 551KL have identical specifications with the exception of LTE bands available. I think you just used the wrong official ASUS bootloader unlock app.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Tejesh27:
there's no unlock app for Ze550KL, so I used Ze551kl, Ze600KL, Ze601KL because I saw those recommended on other sites. But none of them worked
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] nevezen:
There's multiple versions of the bootloader unlock app. You don't want the latest one. The one I used had this filename: UnlockTool_ASUS_AndroidM20160928_Singed.zip.

There's another one floating out there with a "release" in the filename. That's the one you should avoid.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Tejesh27:
yes, I've tried the one you used. Did not work. Probably should do it without unlocking the bootloader
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] nevezen:
Wut, if your bootloader is already unlocked, there's no further need for the unlock app.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Tejesh27:
It is not unlocked, apparently there's a way to do it without unlocking as [OldKnight] said in a previous post
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] RAVIDANIEL:
For better battery backup i think lineage 14.1 is best...back to 14.1
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] OldKnight:
Yes it's true.

But this version 15.1 solved my main cause of annoyance with my device (Z00L):

The proximity sensor stops working.

And it was always necessary to restart so that it would work again.

This problem exists in the "stock rom" and LineageOS 14.1
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] jedidomal:
Hi! [MENTION=2396028]American-Seller[/MENTION]

Today I I suggest you to install the official Lineage OS 14.1 ROM. It's much better than the stock, and than 15.1. To me it had the following bugs (14.1):

1) Audio not working: You have to apply the patch to work.

2) Bugs in the call system (Sometimes the screen did not turns on when someone called me)

The difficulty is average. Follow the tutorial on the lineage website that you get. It's a lot harder the first time you install a custom ROM. Then it gets a lot easier.

The only difficulty I had was relative to the TWRP, which for some reason did not start, but after some tries, it worked.

The difference: The phone was much faster and stable overall. The battery lasted a little less, and the design got much better. If your phone is identical to mine, you will notice that when there are black backgrounds, the colors in the center, such as whatsapp icon, are extremely vivid colors. To solve this, in Lineage OS, you can go in display, live display, color calibration, and put all colors in 85%.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Audio doesn't work only in ZE601KL and that exists in all ROMs regardless of the Android version. Difficulty ratings? Don't give ratings on topics that aren't important. It's just that you are inexperienced and that calling issue, don't blame me. Check your settings.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Nova Sangeeth:
Will the ROM be back on official or is it going to be unofficial forever
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] daniu:
Yeah ... my device also has a locked bootloader and los 15.1 - that had been interesting some time ago due to warranty. Now I wonder why that is important anymore since there are probably no devices with warranty anymore.

I could not tell how I did it ... just remember that I used some prerooted stock rom
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Tripan:
I am using lineage 15.1 july102018 version, when i add new ringtone and set as ringtone, its now working only vibration when incoming call.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] syed sadik vali:

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Lazynestor:
[MENTION=6042178]TheImpulson[/MENTION] Is the development gonna continue?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] axxbat:
Looks like it's about time to start reading 'repurposing old devices'. Anyway, TheImpulson , many thanks for Your efforts to breathe life into our devices.

Considering the approach of Oreo development, ZOOL matches "an old dog won't learn new tricks" saying.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] christian.arvin:
The only hope for devices like this and still be able to catch up with this ever changing world of Custom ROM development is for an official ASUS treble support or someone thru collective effort enable treble support on this device. Maybe A/B port as well? :silly:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] room4two:

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Xhardas:

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] gavinfernandes2012:

At the Lineage Official Site isn't disponible the "Last Updated 2018-07-24", Just the 2018-07-17.

Anyone have a download link to it? (Z00T)

Thanks all.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] nevezen:
2018-07-17 is the last version.

I was late to the party but this ROM revitalized my ze551kl and I'm loving everything about it, more so than my Sammy Note 5.

Dear Sir,

Can you please also make LOS 15.1 for Z00T?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] okmikel:
No, because I own no Z00T and do not want to upload something untested.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sway712:
[MENTION=1834247]okmikel[/MENTION], please check if the video recording is working on stock Snap camera or Asus Pixelmaster camera in your build?

I also build Lineage OS for myself. With the update to August security patch, I found this bug with the video recording on August 13th. I'm forced to use Footej camera now. It works, but all the rest do not.

So is your source of interest. You build from official LOS sources on Github, https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_asus_Z00L ,right?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] okmikel:
You are right, it is not working. And yes, I build from offical LOS sources. Also the PixelMaster Camera (installed as a zip in TWRP from here ) does not work.

Just FYI, ASUS' pixelmaster app works without any problems on 2018-07-17, Z00T. IIRC, the August 2018 security patch is for a newly disclosed bluetooth vulnerability. I don't think it's of any significant threat if you don't rely on bluetooth much.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] KurokoNiiChan:
hmm... why does it have the same build date with mine? is it a coincidence or you took it from my reddit post? anyone flashed this rom? what does it says in the kernel version? is it kuro@virtual box? if yes, don't use it, the custom kernel i edited got some problems, your phone will become slower gradually, i removed my reddit post for it. i already changed to aex.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] okmikel:
Do you realy think I am not able to do a build on my own? As I wrote it is my own private build with unmodified sources from the LOS git ....
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] KurokoNiiChan:
well, if its yours then its yours, kernel version can't lie, if its a coincidence then it is, and i don't care about los anymore. lineage 15.1 is not optimized for z00l, thats what i can say, RR and aex is runs much more smother and saved much more battery than los, so if u know what u r doing, try optimizing it yourself and just don't mess up everything.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] okmikel:
Should be posible, but I didn't try it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] daniu:
My opinion: you can always try to dirty flash (same ROM same android version m/l/o/p of course) - if you are lucky someone tried before and tells you about a positive/negative experience. That however does not mean that your experience has to be same - you can just as well end up in trouble and definitely will have to ask yourself with every bug you find if dirty flashing was the problem. Then you will wipe everything to verify if you have a bug or if dirty flashing was the problem.

That's why generally I would not recommend dirty flashing at all if you do not flash as a hobby, especially not with a rom that not really lots of people use
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Rinz47:
eventually i tried to dirty flash wih the proper wipes and everything went right... thanks
