Hei guys, I've read somewhere on the net that random freezes and black/no working camera are caused by bad-unlocked bootloader, but I'm not sure.
I also read that this: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/asus-zenfone-5-root-ww-2-22-40-54-4-4-2-t3128704 ( reverting back to KitKat and unlocking bootloader with the given script) could solve the problem, but I've never tried, gonna do this during this week end and then I'll let you know.

bro, i have tried all the custom roms available through out the internet for Zenfone 5. NO ROM COULD FIX MY CAMERA. it's blank/black/dark and captured images are also black. If i turn on the flash, it takes photo properly but the screen is black as always. seems like only you and me have this issue, didn't see anyone to report this before. I thought it was a hardware issue, but i rolled back to stock and camera worked fine. still looking for a fix. :(
Hei bro, how did you get reverted to KitKat and which firmware did you flashed back ? I've read many method, but I'm looking for the one that solve my problem.
Should I flash stock recovery image via fastboot from 2.22.40.54 package, than flash droidboot image and then sideload the zip? Can I just flash the zip via twrp? It would include stock recovery and stock droidboot (both included in the zip). Thank in advance :)

I slightly differ with your opinion. For unlocked bootloader, freezing issue is there, but camera is not affected with that. I tried stock rom with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER and camera works fine. Even sometimes I get my camera working(on CM12.1) after capturing the first image (but with very low brightness). I like custom roms and that's why i'm running CM12.1 even I have faulty camera. :(

The issue with black camera has happened with me when I disable one or more processor cores, but with bootloader unlock never happened with me. I think this is more a kernel issue.

If you are having the camera blacked out issue like me and @Lokcies, then there is no custom ROM available over the net so far that can fix your camera. I have tried each and every ROMs. Even the AICP didn't make it working. The only solution is to revert back to stock and gradually upgrade to the latest firmware available for zenfone 5 (that is UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-3.24.40.87-user.zip). But before reverting back you must start with this version UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip. Any other firmware won't make your camera working. To do so, please follow the below steps and don't miss any of them:
1. Donwload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.30844927.1708615694.1457697474
2. Extract the fastboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img and copy all of them to ADB folder. Copy the UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip file to ADB folder as well.
3. Reboot your device to fastboot/droidboot mode and check whether your PC detects the fastboot.
Code:
fastboot devices
If nothing found, install the driver from your PC's device manager by online. If that fails, install it from PC by selecting the android device from the list.
4. After successful fastboot detection, run below commands one by one:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait for the device to reboot...
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Now reboot to recovery by selecting from the menu.
6. In the recovery, select wipe data/factory reset
7. Select wipe cache partition
8. Select apply update over adb sideload
9. Run the below command
Code:
adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip
10. After finishing it, select reboot to system.

This will fix your camera, freezing issue and it will indeed take you to stock firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip version. Hope it helps. Let me know if you face any problem.

Do you know the right method to unlock bootloader that avoid camera black out and random freezes?

bro, there is no right method which can avoid it. For camera, it's a kernel thing, but the freezing is for unlocked bootloader. If you unlock it, there will be some issues which you can't avoid on this device.

I don't agree with that, because at first I rooted my zenfone 5 (last kitkat) unlocking bootloader, and the camera showed "camera not found" message.
I searched on the net how to solve the problem and I found a zip package to root my zenfone 5 and relock bootloader. Camera then worked fine as ever, so I think that camera issue is caused by unlocked bootloader.
That's why I asked for an alternative method to unlock it and to keep camera working with a custom rom.

Thanks for the rom bro..
I flashed it today. I have few query on this. Why am I getting a storage full notification? It is saying "Not enough storage for the system. Make sure you have 250MB of free space and restart."

and what is 0% for near the battery % indicator?

long time no see, how are you, gangs? today I want to share here for you who has some issue's on network, specifically for you who live in U.S. (guess it's very very small but in case you asked me) or use Indian IDEA telecom (is my remember correct?!). this dev provided a flashable zip to patch those problems, here's his blog post http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/en/patch-fully-enable-gsm-cdma-global-phones-android and his post on XDA. I'm not tested, but can sure it safe for your phone.

    [Resurrection Remix by quanganh2627
    S02160X0s38378g9.png

    What is RR?
    Resurrection Remix the ROM has been based on Cyanogenmod, slim, omni and original Remix ROM builds, this creates an awesome combination of performance, customization, power and the most new features, brought directly to your Device


    What is NOT working:
    GPS and FM radio
    What is working:
    Other like Wi-Fi, OTG, baseband and etc.
    How to install it:​
    Step 1:
    You should download files for flashing:
    File with RR rom (Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20160119-a500cg.zip):
    Beta7.3 ( Mirror of Beta7.3)
    Old Beta7.2.2
    YOU MUST FLASH XPOSED WITH BETA7.3!
    OpenGapps: Download from Google Drive or you can use Old GAPPS
    XPOSED v78 : Download from Google Drive (optional)
    ADB v1.0.32: Download from Google Drive
    TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery by quanganh2627 (new December build): Download from Google Drive
    Step 2:
    1) Unpack archive with ADB and put TWRP image there.
    2) Copy file with rom and gapps to internal/external memory of your phone.
    3) Then you should reboot your phone in the droidboot mode. (turn off you gadget then press Turn off button and volume + button)
    Then go to the ADB folder and hold Shift + Right Mouse button and write this command:
    Code:
    fastboot flash recovery new-zen5-reco.img
    Then you should reboot your phone in the recovery mode. (turn off you gadget then press Turn off button and volume - button)
    Step 3:
    Then you phone will reboot in the recovery. In the recovery you should instal three packages: Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20160119-a500cg.zip, gapps-L-x86-20150816-signed.zip and xposed_v75_RR[1].zip
    NOTE: Flash Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20160119-a500cg.zip file first.
    Step 4:
    After flashing, you should format (not wipe) data and cache in the TWRP.
    Then you should reboot to system.
    How to go back to stock rom:​
    Flash this package via TWRP:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwEWY6gMvYOeelBEQ2J0ckxnRmc/view
    After that you should make a factory reset.
