Unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM for Asus Zenfone 4 (A400CG) [ UPDATE 20151128 ]

OLD VERSION

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.1.x (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Before posting on this thread, make sure of a few things:
You've utilized the search function of the forums. Nothing irritates me more than lazy people who do not search for an answer before asking or ask the same question over and over again.
If you are the only one having a problem. Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, reflash the rom/gapps and nothing else. Boot up and see if the problem persists.
Make sure your post is relevant to this thread. "I'm having problems rooting/unlocking" is NOT relevant here.

Let me be a beta tester

already installed this rom; for start is much better than stock Asus rom (had 7.4.4 version)
but had same "gogle play services had stopped" alert.

Not easy to be a tester:
battery life is very bad: it took nearly four hours to lost 48% of battery.
Also when I restart phone it doesn't remeber my wifi password.

No offence but many were waiting for your kernel on zf5

And nice to hear that you've planned for zf5 also

For Booting up to TWRP recovery from Fastboot

Download this [after Flashing The TWRP recovery (By Holding Vol key up + Power key) ] And Put it to sd card.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B22l2dNWVRA2Q09pU3kzR0M1N1E/view?usp=docslist_api
Now goto Fastboot (Droidboot) and Click SD Download.
Phone will boot in recovery.
