Hi,
I tried Yesterdays your suggestion.
At first I had to find a RAW firmware for my ZE552KL - which I found at "ASUS ZenTalk" thread "[More Information Needed] [System] How to upgrade firmware to Android O from Android M".
I was only surprised, that the TWRP had been erased this way - but as the smartphone was still unlocked, I had no problem reinstalling TWRP.
I found no way to avoid restoration of the complete google device account ((with apps, ..).) during the temporary installation of the stock firmware (which I just needed to activate the roaming).
Does anybody know a better solution for temporary installation of a ROM? ((creation of temporary account does not work due to theft protection - you have to wait 72h before the smartphone can be connected to a new google account))
After activation the roaming, I installed your ROM with the suggested TREBLE-enabled TWRP version. As I didn't find any advise to activate the TREBLE-Feature in TRWP, I did not activate the TWRP-Treble feature.
My Problem:
I get unresolvable problems during installation of magisk, after the setup of your ROM. I get always a mounting problem with the /vendor partition. All suggestions for resolving of this problem, that I found in the internet, relate to TREBLE feature. It seems to me, that I should have activated the TWRP-TREBLE feature.
But I can not activate the TWRP-TREBLE feature without wipe of the data partition.
My questions regarding installation:
- Is your ROM configured for TWRP-TREBLE? - so should I have activated this feature in TWRP before installation of your ROM and Gapps?
--> I would then install your next - OFFICIAL - version with activation of TREBLE beforehand.
- Or which magisk version should I install without activation of TREBLE?
(( without magisk I can not use the F-Droid app oandbackup to restore the config of my apps - and can also not restore the account settings))
My experience so far:
It works fine.
But I have still two issues, that I had already with the other XENON HD ROM:
- after startup of the zenfone 3, the WLAN is activated very very late, so that WhatsApp and K9-Mail did already check for new messages by usage of mobile internet, before WLAN gets active. That's bad - IMHO system services and drivers should start with higher priority than user apps.
--> what can I do, to change the boot order (or priority) of the WLAN activation and the apps like WhatsApp and K9-Mail
- very seldom the zenfone 3 switches by accident from normal view to the locked screen - which is quite bad, when I use the navigation app in my car (with unlocking by PIN or fingerprint)
--> am I the only one, who has this problem?
Thanks for suppporting zenfone 3 with new ROM.
Bye,
Achim
