[LG V60 ThinQ Accessories] oakley242424:
Otterbox Symmetry is absolutely useless. It actually increases your chances of breaking your phone. It's literally so slippery that if placed on your desk it will just slide right off with even a 2 degree slope, i.e don't put it on a book or magazine. Especially so if it's plugged into the pc, the charging cable will just drag it right to the floor. I had to cover the back of mine with skateboard grip tape off amazon, (comes in a roll) just to make it useable. I don't' know how they can go from the defender to the symmetry, it's also like an F.U for not buying the defender, but they don't' even make a defender for this one.

I just got the dual screen , but it really kills your battery so for out of the house use I think I'm going back to a case .

For cheap, go with the caseology vault,

for 24 bucks. I just ordered one, It looks good. Silicone inside, hard aluminum outside, it actually screws together so none of that issue we'd all have with the otterbox where it stretched overtime and wouldn't snap in place like it used to. Plus it comes with a tempered glass screen protector and you don't' have to bother removing's some cheap plastic junk screen protector from the e case like you do with other ones of this build .

Oh plus the latter comes in 4 colors as well. 😉

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr.Kakarot:
Hello, I have not been on this site in YEARS!! Much love and respect community. I just got my first ever Asus Rogue 2 and it is a WW model.

Is it as easy as downloading a rom, zip file, reboot? Does the majority recommend the android 10 rom.... or please, if their is someone that done a lot of work and they have a killer rom.... please. save me some time.

I wanna get a new fresh vibe on the device. Thanks in advance
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] vygneys_vyg:
As of now, A10 latest is 2004.60 for WW.

Stock Android 9 on this device has the best battery and least temperatures. You can get 15-20 hours SOT (at 60hz) depending upon your usage. Is also really stable. Games work perfectly on A9. This is the best ROM for endurance and gaming on this phone.

Stock A10 has kinda worse battery and heats up more. SOT is like 11-15 hours (60hz) depending upon usage. Games are slightly less optimised, but nonetheless you get all the features this device provides.

Coming to custom ROMs, Omni ROM (A10) has excellent battery life. Almost as good as A9. Excellent stable UI. But you loose air triggers, and it isn't good for gaming.

HavocOS has battery life similar to Stock A10, and has the best aesthetics. More customisation than Omni. Again, no air triggers and not so good for gaming.

Choice is upto you.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] shahram Ali:
It is recommended to stay at a9 i have tested all android 10 and a9 is much more better a10 sucks for this phone unfortunately.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] uriii13:
On A10 I'm taking like 10-15% less battery than A9, winning some different things like Quickswitch (if you are rooted) and the traditional patches and features, so I'm staying in A10. But A9 is a bit better in battery, yep.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Just to add my two cents to confuse the OP even more over which rom version to use...

I'm also on A10 latest 2004.60 and don't have any heating issues, never have A9 or 10. I don't really monitor battery much at all but there's not much difference between A9 and latest 10 with my usage. With a battery this big it isn't a concern of mine. With my average usage lasting 2 days (I mainly only play Bike Race for games).

So yeah, I'm happy to stay on A10.

It's probably also worth noting (although I've not tried any custom rom on this device, so you'll need to check), if you are gonna use Havoc or Omni, you will need to have latest stock build flashed before flashing those roms.

Let us know what you decide... Good luck
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr.Kakarot:
Just to be clear, the stock asus experience.... is the best overall experience? Thanks!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr.Kakarot:
I am high darn, so.... I have no problem trying things... and I expect the usual bumps..... but if it changes or ruins the experience, why would I do this?

That being said, how do I get stock 10 on my device then boys?? thanks again
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr.Kakarot:
I tried a few things but when I get to recovery there is NO options aside from reboot, wipe.

I did the unlock tool. I put files on root of phone, but I cannot see or access them. What am i missing
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Dude you're gonna have get used to reading up on stuff. It's been posted tons of times on updating to this version or that version
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] uriii13:
Thinking exactly the same right here. Small differences between both just to downgrade. For me, as I said, 10-15%. If I want that % loosing the smoothness of A10 with Quickswitch, I will return to A9 some day
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] vygneys_vyg:
Yeah. But for me I got like 50% more battery on A9 than A10 stock. A simple comparison with other phones suggests only A9 truely gives you 6000mah feel. A10 is more like 4000mah phones. I did quite a lot of testing too.

Hi Folks,

when I ('m trying to) cook ROMs for Asus P525 its quite annoying flashing again and again on the slightest change (debugging). Especially the translating thing is veeery time consuming.

So, I created a little ROM kitchen for the Microsoft Windows Mobile Emulator. So far, its beta state and only testet with WM6.1 images. BUT, it works.

​

Known Bugs

Unable to install any CABs (with some SYSs it seem to work, see post #10). I'm working on that one ;).

How to

Place PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN as template in BaseROM

Run UnpackEmuRom.cmd

Modify SYS and OEM as you like

Run RepackEmuRom.cmd

Start Device Emulator using the created NewRom.bin by running RunEmulator.

07/28/2008

Fixed: This image-replacing works.

Fixed: CPU load is normal.

Fixed: OEM folders are replaced in OEM (not in SYS).

Added: The Device Emulator program itself (you can test your ROM using the new batch 3_RunEmulator.bat)

07/25/2008

Fixed: Cleaning cleaned to much.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SamuelTee:
Bugfix: Cleaning cleaned too much

Ok, I applied a little bugfix on the cleanup cmd. Using this cleaned the (necessary) binaries for the rebuild, too (which means you had to restart the whole process - UnpackEmuRom.cmd ... - again).

With the bugfix (download above) only the repack files are cleaned (except the created ROM ;)). So you can run Repack-cmd and use the cleaning cmd several times.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SamuelTee:
Update

New update: 0.2beta.

Fixed: This image-replacing works now.

Fixed: CPU load is normal now.

Fixed: OEM folders are replaced in OEM now (not in SYS).

Added: The Device Emulator program itself (you can test your ROM using the new batch 3_RunEmulator.bat)

This whole thing seems to work now. I created a new Emu ROM doing the following:

Placed PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN as template in BaseROM

Ran UnpackEmuRom.cmd

Replaced some stuff (taken from my Asus P525 cooking)

Replaced the whole SYS folder by another one (Build 5.2.20270 AKU 1.3.1)

Added some SYS stuff (Games, Office, OneNote, RemoteDesktop, .NET 3.5)

Added some OEM stuff (new Games, Calculator from HTC, JAVA)

Ran RepackEmuRom.cmd

Started Device Emulator using the created NewRom.bin by running 3_RunEmulator.bat.

Everyone familiar with ROM cooking should have no problem reproducing this.

Have fun!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joemanb:
this ROCKS! THANKS SamuelTee!

I was able to extract and rebuild a WM6 image!

BUT...I am unable to install CABs.

every time I try I get 'Installation of CAB unsuccessful'

it'd be nice to get this to work to test custom UCs

any ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SamuelTee:
You're right. I noticed that yesterday on my own cooked EmuROM and I'm currently on it. There seems to be a problem with file permissions (since you can't even create a simple file in \Temp).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joemanb:
HURRAY!

I was able to get CABs to install by replacing the SYS folder with the one from my personal kitchen! It's really cool, it boots exactly like my phone (requiring screen calibration and setting time zone and password etc.)

Now I have a problem with adding stuff...there just isn't any space it seems. I can't add anything that makes the combined space used by the SYS and OEM folders any bigger than the space occupied by the original SYS and OEM folders from the original ROM dump.

It'd be awesome to be able to adjust the space to match whatever romsize your device allows during cooking so that ROMs can be tested with this.

I have a Wizard which doesn't have much memory, but, still, I can't add even half the stuff to this emulator ROM than I can add to my kitchen ROM. :(

I wish I knew more So I could help solve this problem, but I am totally in the dark and at the mercy of your expertise, SamuelTee.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SamuelTee:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SamuelTee:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SamuelTee:
@moshinho

Ok, lets recap.

When you downloaded the package from post one (samwmemukitchen_0.2b.rar) and extracted it, there were 3 Folders (BaseROM, DeviceEmulator, Tools). The PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN provided with the Emulator Image Package from Microsoft should be copied in the first one: BaseROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] udK:
Ok I've tested it today, everything works fine but there are some troubles with some package, when adding a package, like Opera then starting the emulator the screen is black and I can not do anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] moshinho:
Yes. i have the file. The problem was to find the file in my computer...

Thansk for the help.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] teoskalp:
How did you succeed? I place my SYS on the emukitchen , I repacked it to get the NewRom, I ran it and then I just got a black screen! :(

I managed to put some OEM packages though, e.g. the htc mp3 trimmer, and the rom worked!

If we get this to work better, it will be an amazing tool to test the cooked roms without flashing and flashing our phones again!

Great work Sam and joemanb and all others trying...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] teoskalp:
joemanb I reproduced the whole thing with your SYS and indeed worked instantly. It even works with the VGA emu Image! (I just had to set "/video 480x640x16" parameter in the runemulator batch in order to get the display right )

Still can't get it to work with my SYS coming out of my HTC Diamond device. :(

Anyway, all very interesting though :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joemanb:
As far as I've been able to figure this out, all you need is the 'OEMDrivers' and 'OEM_Lang_409' folders from the emulator dump, and make sure your 'SYS' and 'OEM' folders occupy no more than 53.8 megs for wm6.0 (it's about 62.3 megs for wm6.1..I don't use 6.1 because it's buggy and tcpmp won't work).

The wm6.0 image only provides for 32 megs storage memory...Maybe some of the genius's here can figure out how to increase this.

To get around the size limitation I've been using UC (User Customization), and it REALLY ROCKS! All ROM COOKS should use this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366333

There are several tools available to build your SDConfig.txt file. I use SDConfigGen:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=411988

The great thing about UC is that instead of building stuff into the ROM, you use it to automatically install CABfiles off of your storage card. This way, if you decide you don't want something you can just uninstall it instead of cooking a new ROM. I could go on and on about the advantages of UC...TRY IT!

From now on this is how I am going to do my cooking...An extreme vanilla ROM that will run in the emulator, And UC to finish the job!

This way, all issues get troubleshooted and fixed in the emulator before I flash my ROM...SO MUCH BETTER!

I've figured out a work around for the 'Button 1' issue, and I'm just finishing up a couple of Emulator skins (for Wizard A200 for me, and Asus p525 for SamuelTee). I'll be posting them soon!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] teoskalp:
So for WM 6.1 is a total of 62.3 Megs for the sum of OEM and SYS or for each one of it?

Can you please confirm?

I see.

From a quick read on UC I understand that actually you enable the device to auto install stuff later on using cabs from the storage card. I may missed sth here but I thought that cooking cabs instead of adding them later is the best way to create a light ROM with low memory footprint?

Anyway thanks so much for the tips, I will try to resize my SYS and OEM folders and see what happens.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joemanb:
It's the total of SYS and OEM added together. It appears that you can't add anything that takes up more space than the total space occupied by the dumped SYS and OEM from the emulator image.

As far as cooking CABs instead of adding them later, I really doubt that it makes a difference as far as how much space is used (CABs may use less memory because files are not duplicated with the initflashfiles.txt). I, personally, have never given any thought to the memory footprint...It either fits, or it doesn't.

For me, the reason I cook my own ROM is so that after a HARD reset my device is ALMOST setup the way I like it without have to spend hours reinstalling and customizing. I just restore my contacts, apply my WEP key, and I'm good to go! For this, UC works quite nicely.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joemanb:
Here are some skins for the emulator:

Asus_p525 and Wizard_A200

These skins are setup to use SortInchKey to fix the 'Button1' bug.

Also included is a SortInchKey OEM package to add to your emulator kitchen.

With this OEM package and a properly edited skin you won't even notice the bug.

If you want to add buttons, or make your own skins with this fix integrated check Here to find out which keycode to put into your skin.xml. Also you'll need PQz_Check to find your PPC keyscan codes to use in SortInchKey. See the ReadMe.txt in one of the skin packages for more information.

How To

Ok here is how i make mine works

1. Extract samememukitchen to a folder

2. Extract skin template

IE: Wizard_A200DevEmuSkin.zip

3. In BaseRom put "PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN"

4. Run “1_UnpackEmuROM.cmd”

5. You will get 3 folders

i. OEM

ii. ROM

iii. SYS

6. Modify your SYS folder as you like

7. When done, run "2_RepackEmuROM.cmd"

8. When done, an image file "NewRom.bin" will be created

9. Open "3_RunEmulator.bat" with note pad and do this amendment and save it

or any other skin .xml you have

10. Run Emulator by double clicking on "3_RunEmulator.bat"

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ameet:
Even I get this even with the 20721 XIP. Also I think you need to replace the .VM, Shell\Shell32.exe and Shell\Shellres.dll from the EMU SYS to make the Emulator work. Also only add the OEMApps in OEM and not everything from your ROM. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gullum:

so to get a new xip you need to extract the xip from the os.nb.payload from the tools folder and then rebuild the xip and merge it back to the os.nb also in the tools folder.

so it's alot of work just to have a new xip.
