Hmmm. I have an S7 Edge that's less than a year old and a couple months or so ago I noticed the battery holding noticeably less of a charge than it used to. Now I have to have Wi-fi off and not use the phone much at all in order to get it through a day or so without charging it. When it was new...

I figured this was the best place to put this thread/topic but if it's not, please move mods! Searching didn't show any other threads that answered my question; please link if one exists though! So I was interested in creating an Edge Panel for my Galaxy S7 Edge. Is this something only Samsung...

Huh. ES File Explorer says "Cannot delete addon.d" when I try to do it from within Cyanogenmod. Using the File Manager app, I can't even browse to the root device and get to the /system/ folder. So I rebooted to Recovery and used that file manager; I found what I thought was the /system/ folder...

Hmmm. Yeah **** it, I'll give that a shot. Thanks man.

Man, I've been having this issue for a long time (backups used to work in TWRP; they seemed to stop when I tried it once while enabling Compression). Anyway, thanks to Yoinx, I did a "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log c:/recovery.log" command and it looks like I'm getting an error with the same file...

I guess no one has any ideas but I figured I'd update this anyway. I realized I could backup with the TWRP Manager app so I tried that, selecting all partitions/areas I could, and it only backs up the "Data" part and I then get the dreaded "E:createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255" error...

Well I decided to just download TWRP Manager from the Play Store since it seemed like the easiest route to go. I installed TWRP v2.8.7.3 (I was running v2.8.7.0) successfully and rebooted into recovery and attempted to run backup (first to the SD card). I am getting the same "createTarFork()...

Hmmm. Do you think a tax advisor would understand or have sufficient knowledge about mobile apps on the Google Play store to give advice? So it sounds like for EU countries and Brazil I'd want to do the same thing (raise price a bit for the app). I doubt many people are even going to download...

Thanks for the reply. Last night after posting this I looked at the "Create Merchant Account" form and I didn't see anything to do with tax, either there or the other places I looked in the Developer Console. I swear I had saw something to do with tax when I first looked at the process but maybe...

I am nearing the finishing and release phase of an app I've been working on and so I was going through creating a Merchant Account since it will be a paid app. There were two things that stopped me, however. One was the website which I have created and will be uploading in a bit. The thing that...

Derp. Thanks man, wasn't sure I had the command right. I appreciate it. Oh, one more thing. Do I need to do a "fastboot erase cache" after doing the previously mentioned "fastboot flash recovery"? I saw this mentioned somewhere else so I figured I'd ask. Thanks! Final edit: I'm going to...

Well I figured out why I didn't have root when I checked it with Root Checker. I needed to enable some setting in the hidden Developer options in the Android Settings. Anyway, I want to downgrade TWRP to see if that fixes this "createtarfork()" failure. Do I just get the TWRP .img file and...

Roger that. Thanks man. Once I figure out my TWRP backup issue I'll try CM 13. Can't wait!

I am getting this same issue in my Zenfone 2 (64 GB version). It occurs when doing the backup for "System" as noted in the OP. I am running TWRP 2.8.7.0. I've done several backups before that worked fine. I started seeing this issue when I tried using compression in a backup. Now I get the...

Wow, Android 6.0, very cool guys; thanks for all your hard work! I'm running CM 12.1 currently on my Zenfone 2 (began following ansebovi's thread but couldn't figure it out; ended up following this YouTube guide to installing CM 12.1 which was much easier to follow IMO). So coming from CM 12.1...

I've been using CM for awhile now (put stock back on my phone but it wasn't any better). Much thanks to the people involved in getting CM to us Zenfone 2 users. Anyway I installed a wi-fi tethering app a little bit ago and it said I didn't have root. I ran Root Checker Basic and sure enough, no...

Any help? It would be greatly appreciated.

I've been having intermittent problems with my Zenfone 2 and CM 12.1 (SIM card randomly shutting off and on, ****ty connection/service, dropped calls, occasional random reboots) and so I'm gonna try putting stock back on to see if that's any different. Unfortunately, I think it's too long to...

I ended up just going with a Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC. It works great; have had no problems at all.

I'm afraid I can't help you bajcmartinez, but maybe this guide will. I followed it to put CM on my Zenfone 2 and had zero problems. It's a very clear guide. Good luck man. How to Install CM 12.1 on ASUS Zenfone 2

I guess the ASUS Camera app was easier to find than I thought. The first time I tried it was nothing but spam site after spam site. Maybe it was Bing's fault, haha. But I got version 2.0.0.150805_5 and it installed with no problem and works great. Thanks for your help, ejames2001, I appreciate it.

Alrighty, thanks. I actually was searching for PixelMaster .apk this weekend but didn't have much luck besides seeing a ton of frickin spam sites masking as legit .apk download sites. I'll do another search tonight. Hopefully I can get the .apk to install. It sure would be nice to have the...

Well I tried installing that .apk from the OP. Had to allow installation from unknown sources first, then after hitting Install, it asked me to give Google permission to send data and whatever else. Regardless if I select Accept or Decline, I always get an "App not installed" message. Damnit, I...

Oh, really? That's kinda nice, although yeah the depth-of-field working would sure be nice. I'll have to try it out tonight. I can just use the .apk from the OP, correct?

Oh man, I would love to be able to get the PixelMaster app back on my Zenfone 2 (I'm running Cyanogenmod 12). The default Google camera sucks horribly compared to the stock ASUS camera app. Has there been any more work on this project? I'm gonna read that guide myself and work on it, but I...

Thanks for the tip. Pardon my ignorance, but where do I search for it? I did a search on the Google Apps website on my PC, and can see it, but it says it's not supported for my device (clicking the "Install" button on the webpage does nothing). Searching with the Google Apps app doesn't find it...

So I got Cyanogenmod installed on my Zenfone 2. Pretty slick. However, I'm pretty disappointed in the default Google Camera that comes with CM. It's horrible compared to the ASUS Camera since the latter has all the nice options specific to the camera in the phone. Do you guys know of any decent...

I tried this on my ZE551ML with stock (downloaded from ASUS's website then sideloaded to fix a softbrick) ROM v2.20.40.90. Ran the .bat file by right-clicking it in Windows and selecting "Run as Administrator," and it rebooted my phone into "fastboot" mode. Then it said "Done" and to press any...

Hmmm. I did not explicitly run the Command Prompt as Admin, no. You think that could be the reason? I'll make sure to do that when I resume my quest to get CM on my phone. As for the MEGA images, that makes sense, thank you.

Well what do ya know... IT WORKED! I had some difficulty getting into recovery (not fastboot, that worked fine) but thanks to the "All-in-One Thread" I got it into recovery and then flashed 2.20.40.90 from ASUS. I'm restoring a backup as we speak. Thank you again for all your help, I really...

By the way, I'd rather have my phone working as soon as possible, even if it's just stock ASUS software on it. After doing the "fastboot erase cache" command, would the following (from the All-in-One Thread) work to get the default ASUS firmware back on it? Note, my phone is NOT rooted nor has...

Just to be totally sure I'm understanding your advice, when you say "try flashing as in my guide," where exactly should I start in your guide? Don't I need to root the phone first to do anything (hence why I was getting "Permission Denied" errors in first place)? I'm just wondering if you could...

No, I started following the steps in this thread's first post for "Recover from bootloop", up to and including the four "fastboot flash" commands. After receiving the "Permission Denied" message and reading a bit more, I realized I had followed the steps in an incorrect order (even though they...

Deleted (problem solved in other thread; sorry for cross-posting).

I started doing the steps in this thread because it was linked in the Guide to Flashing CM 12.1 as the next step after getting the files from MEGA. I want to put CM on my Zenfone 2 but I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to follow the steps I did (yet, anyway). Well, I seem to have run into a...

I was also interested in the Zenfone 2's support for SDXC cards. I did a quick search and found that a guy had picked up this SanDisk 128 GB card and it worked on his Zenfone 5, and then on his Zenfone 2. Just as I was about to order it, I saw there was a newer version, so opted for that...

Gotcha. Thanks man. I think I'm starting to (kind of) understand this. Can't wait to try it out, hopefully tonight! :fingers-crossed:

Ok, so hopefully I have just one more question. I was about to start the procedure tonight but while downloading the pre-rooted system img and recovery (I think that's what they are; from MEGA website) and following the Guide to apply OTA without bootloop in Rooted ZF2 guide (Step #2 under...

Oh, ok. So (ideally) you want on your phone the version that the CM team uses to build CM? And so installing Cyanogenmod does not completely wipe your phone? I'm just thinking if it did wipe your phone, it wouldn't matter what software version you had when you installed CM because it would be...

Hmmm, so if I'm understanding correctly, Cyanogenmod is based on whatever stock software build/version you have on your phone at the time of installation? The reason I asked if it mattered was that I was thinking that installing CM completely wiped your phone and whatever software version you...

I'm not sure I understand. My phone is also asking me to update to 2.20.40.97_20150917_1572, do you think I should do that first before installing Cyanogenmod or does it not even matter?

According to my Zenfone 2's Build number I'm currently running 2.18.40.12_20150529. That should be fine for installing Cyanogenmod, correct? Thanks!

Hmmm. So I can use that existing LGL55C device tree for building a rom for my LGL41C? I don't think this guide explains adopting another one for your own, does it? Any help would be appreciated. :)

Wow, great guide. :good: So I'm trying to build a ROM for my LG Ultimate 2 (LGL41C Straight Talk phone) and have gotten to the point where I need to build the ROM for a particular device (download device identity -- device tree, vendor, kernel). From what I can see, there is no device tree for...

Any help? I'm tempted to try it but I don't wanna f up my Kindle. EDIT: Nevermind, I just did it and it worked successfully. Now to get CM11 on...

This may be a dumb question, or answered already, but here goes... I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 and want to upgrade to 2.6.3.1 before trying to install CM11 again (see my post in the CM11 thread for more details). Are the only steps I need to accomplish this: 1) Download TWRP 2.6.3.1 and put file on...

This may be a dumb question, or answered already, but here goes... I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 and want to upgrade to 2.6.3.1 before trying to install CM11 again (see my post in the CM11 thread for more details). Are the only steps I need to accomplish this: 1) Download TWRP 2.6.3.1 2.) Connect...

I'm dead tired and gotta work in the morning but I will try this tomorrow probably, thanks. I'm guessing it's due to TWRP being out of date, though I didn't think that would matter when I first tried it. I'll see how it goes... Also, I noticed that the md5sum for the CM11.zip in the OP is...

I got a Majesty from eBay for a good price after I dropped my Centura and it cracked the screen. I'm really digging the phone so far so I'm just seeing if there's any root available or custom ROM or anything. Looks like a big "negative" to that, haha. Oh well, never had any root on my Centura...

I currently have CM 10.2 and it works great, but wanted to try out CM 11.0. I put the .zip in the OP, and the Google Apps .zip, on the sdcard and booted into TWRP 2.6.3.0. I then did a wipe of Dalvik Cache, Data, Cache, and System. Then in TWRP, I went to Install, and selected the ROM.zip and...
