Thanks for this recommendation. I tried it and it's amazing how smooth it is (both the rom/kernel and the ram fix).

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Would this conflict with custom kernels since it warns against kernel mods?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jayxiao171735:
actually, I didn't find any issue after flashing the custom kernel and this module, smoothy enough.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Buddyjohn:
I also personally use havoc rom. it had the best feel in my opinion. i read up on the ram management hijack in this thread too. it makes sense so i thought id try it myself. definitely recommend havoc though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jayxiao171735:
you can carefully read the instruction again, the intro didn't say any about the conflict with custom kernel, one thing you might notice is that substratum is not allowed to use with NFS
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mookiexl:
I use FK to manage kernel settings. Do keep in mind that it does take time for the settings to get applied because zram turns off, dumps all zram (swap) to 0mb then restarts to apply the new setting, which is why it may seems like zram is hanging with a "stopping " message.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jayxiao171735:
Mate, do you know how to download the latest version of ZRAM manager in Github?

I personally like Havoc because of all the customization that come with it but the battery life on it has went down with the last few updates.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FruitSidewalk59:
Today I made switch away from Havoc + Kirisakura-Wahoo kernel to Stock July rom + elementalX + blackened mod + zram manager magisk mod. So far so good on performance and battery life!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blacklisted.rock:
What has been the best setup for battery backup?

How's better backup on stock + ElementalX compared to other setups?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:
It only depends upon your usage
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blacklisted.rock:
"No GAMING" "Only general day to day use"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FruitSidewalk59:
For day to day use, the new setup is better in terms of battery about 1 extra hour of SoT. Also it is more reliable than Havoc as sometimes I would stop getting sms until i reboot the phone and then get the messages from previous day (tried textra, messages..) anyways, the stock rom is reliable in general. ElementalX does have better feel to the phone overall in conjunction with the zram increase and this kernel does not have the random app will not launch issue (means i would try to open any of my apps and it would not open it).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FruitSidewalk59:
Been using the above mentioned setup for some days, no lags or app kills. Starting today I am trying disabling zram with Swap Tropedo and RAM manager (for better lmk) [both are magisk modules, but not in magisk repo, google search each] and see difference in SoT and battery life. Will update later!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Keiuran:
HAVOC and Sultan+ kernel gives me 6 to 7 hours of screen time, and I'm often not charging my phone more than once every 2 days. Everything works great besides Google Pay, but I'm sure that's due to other problems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sui77:
You have to hide Google pay and Google play in magisk.

Here is the link to a solution for GPay, I have tried it personally and it works! Its easy to just install the magisk module and follow the instruction in the post. I tried it at Trader Joe's 2 days ago.

After upgrading from havoc (android pie) to pixel dust (android 10) and using respective stock roms, I have returned to stock android 8.1, due to instability and connction issues with bluetooth. I tried everything before i downgraded. Happy to report that the memory issues also fixed on 8.1.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
Except all the known and most likely actively exploited security vulberabilities which never will be fixed
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
As always, there is no 1 "best" ROM as it all depends on what the end-user likes, needs, and prioritizes (stability, battery life, custom options, ETC). That being said, I find Carbon ROM (9) to be the best at everything and is the most stable. I have tried them all, from 8.1 to 10, and landed on CR as my DD for the past 3-4 weeks. It is by far the most stable 9 ROM I tested for my Pixel 2 XL, with the best battery life from all ROMs I tested, and the best performing without any issues, bugs, FC's, or errors. I have no issues with RAM, nor lags, nor app issues, and I play tons of very high resource intense games. For example, I use Beach Buggy 2 with the highest res, highest details, and its buttery smooth with no hot battery, and no other issues that usually go along with a high RAM/CPU game. I usually have more than 15-30 apps opened in the background during the game as well, never a single issue! The other thing I really like about CR is that its 9, and still being updated monthly!

Havoc 9 was my other DD before landing on CR

You could also just use a 9 ROM (Carbon ROM) and you will not have any RAM issues (without making any changes to anything).

Is there a stable Android 9 (PIE) ROM for ZenFone 3 Laser (ZC551KL) ?

To install the ROM (if it exists) I have to root the smartphone?

Yes, like this.

Not seen in TWRP, so may be a software problem.
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauam:
Yep, software. I found a issue (those 2 lines on the notch) like that on crdroid rom, on aex 6.5 (the rom I'm using now) it's not present. I only tried those two roms since I bought the phone, so I think that issue is present on LOS based roms (like crdroid) & not present on AOSP based roms (like AEX). Also, I didn't noticed that bug on the stock rom oreo 8.1 (only used it a few minutes when the phone was bought).

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] molekular:
I think it's comparing two different things, despite the boombastic title of this thread. Why forget Energy Ring? It is a battery indicator, if you need that better not forget that app. Chainfires app is very advanced and well developed, but serves a different purpose, it reacts to apps notifications that try to trigger the LED.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
He's an asset but not to any community, you shouldn't think he does this for pure boredom or internet appreciation, he's hasn't always been very transparent about his apps.

Besides that problem, the app itself has limited functions and everyone who tested it reported noticeable drain.

Samsung should implement it because they have full access to the system and their solution shouldn't need hacks(like faking the lock screen) to work, it seems stupid for them to waste the chance of using the cutout for notifications after teasing it for so long.

And no, the guide doesn't involve disabling any "common features", whatever you meant with that, it's all about introducing common sense in power management, every paragraph is optional and unrelated to the other, it doesn't involve root or damage to the device in any way.

Nevermind the poor reviews. As long as you install the companion app which allows phone battery communication to be sent to the watchface, this should work (at least it has for me). The ones which show phone battery on the display through Facer will not likely work.

The firmware you are trying to flash is too old hense the security downgrade error

You must use firmware that is equal to or newer than what was previously flashed on it

Firmware available at

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] pablito1984:
Thank you for your reply.

I`ve downloaded XT1675_CEDRIC_RETGB_SS_8.1.0_OPPS28.85-13-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

as my phone model is XT1675.

I don`t know why, but when I`m trying to put fastboot oem fb_mode_set and it gives me that error
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
That command is just to tell the phone you are about to flash firmware and the clear command at the end exists this mode

You don't need to use these commands it's just a way of telling the phone what you are doing and to start the phone normally after the flashing

You should be able to start with gpt (presuming you have found a firmware that is the same or newer than what you have on the phone already)
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] pablito1984:
Thanks for explaining me that :)

I`ve downloaded now CEDRIC_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPPS28.85-16-6_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
I presume you can get into the bootloader without using a sdcard for a hard bricked device

If so skip gpt and bootloader parts of the firmware - these don't need to be flashed unless your phone was hard bricked (just get a red flashing led if mmcblk0 sdcard not inserted)

Also make sure you have the Motorola drivers installed and that you are using the latest fastboot drivers from the android sdk
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] pablito1984:
Yes. I can get into bootloader, but I can`t do anything over there except restarting and checking logs.
