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.

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>

/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we 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.

Instructions

First time flashing CyanogenMod 12.1 on your device, or coming from another ROM?
Unlock Bootloader
Download the zip(s).
Install a compatible Recovery (TWRP)
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

Broken Features / Known Issues

  • FM Radio is unsupported.
  • More TBD

Other Issues?

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.
LOGS LOGS LOGS!!!! Use this: SysLog by Tortel

As the Zenfone2 has multiple models from multiple countries please include the following information in your report:
model #
CPU Speed / RAM Size
device state when errors occur (BT/wifi/nfc on ? On a call ? sitting idle on shelf ? )
method to reproduce if you've found something consistent

FAQ
Bug reporting
* These CM-12.1 builds are for beta testing and major bug discovery. This will be a launching pad for future CM-13.0 development.
* Feature request will be ignored.
* Reports without LOGS or solid reproduction instructions will be ignored.

Does Official TWRP exist?

* Not yet, submitted but not yet officially supported

Can I use a custom kernel with these builds?
* At your own risk, don't complain here if something gets broken in the process
*Also, doing so makes any feedback useless to us because the kernel and the ROM are a complete package and changing part of that means you may have broken something beyond our control.

Will this be an Official ROM?
* No, this is a temporary test bed for this device. I will be moving to CM-13.0 as quickly as possible

Do I need to unlock the bootloader?
* Yes, this is non-negotiable. I will not support any form of CM builds where I cannot flash a modified kernel

FM Radio
* Currently this is unsuported. As of yet we have not managed to figure out how Asus made this feature work. Should we figure that out We'd love to support it but until then it is not a high priority issue to resolve. ** UPDATED** I found some source code for the FM radio implementation but it's clearly marked as proprietary and unuseble by us at this time.

Call Recording
Native Call Recording is a feature that while only legal in some countries, has become very popular on CM.
Currently we do not have full audio HAL source for Intel devices and have no way to implement this in CM for this device.

I'd like to make a donation
Many users like to show support via Donations. If you feel so inclined to support me in this manner you can do so HERE(jrior001) Donations are by no means expected, but always appreciated.

Flashed this morning. Seems like every important feature working well. GPS is good, bluetooth works with my miband. Gonna try for some day. The first impression is really cool. Smooth as butter. Thank you for this.

I just uploaded a new build, same build date and lin, that fixes a few minor issues I noticed.

* USB serial no settings
* device name props matched to stock (this allows Asus pixel master camera to work, although I doubt every mode/option works properly)

I'm going to be running this as my daily device for a few days to find any other major issues before moving on to CM13. The tiny data partition is frustrating and I'm hoping adopted storage in cm13 helps this.

Battery life?
I'm not really sure what to expect here as I never( not even for a day) ran this device on stock. It came right out the box into dev mode. I will have to rely on you guys to gauge good/bad battery life as I am known to be a battery abuser.

Hope you all enjoy.

Fixed locally already, will be in next release, a reboot "should" reset this for now.

Putting it on the list

Oh... I based on the stock firmware also had a problem with headphones, I don't know how to solve this, in the end, stupid system.new.dat Packed and headphones have earned.

Proximity sensor, screen won't turn back on after phone call to hang up

Mine works fine, besure your not blocking it, or like the other guy said a badly placed case/protector. Grab "sensors test" from play store and try testing Prix sensor that way.
