StatiXOS for ASUS ZenFone 8 (sake)


What is StatiXOS?

StatiXOS is a custom ROM based on the Android Open Source Project aiming to be minimal while providing quality of life improvements and up to date security patches.

Spoiler: Known Issues

Performance can be a bit stuttery at times, I am working on improving this without impacting the battery life.

Spoiler: How to flash

Flashing the fastbootimage
{Note: For this to work you need to first flash the userdebug vendor_boot which contains the recovery/fastbootd ramdisk that allows for fastboot update to work
1. Download the image from here
2. Reboot to the bootloader (with the green START text)
3. In terminal type fastboot flash vendor_boot statix_userdebug_recovery.img
4. Then, type fastboot reboot fastboot
5. You should be all set! Follow the steps below.]
1. Download the fastbootimage from our download link above
2. Reboot your ZenFone 8 to bootloader and plug it in to your computer
3. Now open up your Terminal (macOS and Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows)
4. Type in fastboot reboot fastboot
5. Now locate the downloaded ROM zip and drag it into the shell window you opened in step 3 after typing fastboot update.
5. From here on, it will be automated. Once the device reboots, you're good to go!

Flashing an OTA package
1. Download the ROM which should be in the root of the sake folder.
2. Navigate to boot images within the sake folder and download the two images boot.img and vendor_boot.img.
3. Reboot your device to its bootloader mode, open up a terminal window and flash boot and vendor_boot using fastboot flash.
4. Once done, type in fastboot reboot recovery.
5. once you boot to recovery, tap on “Apply from ADB”
6. Now on your PC, type in adb sideload and drag the zip you downloaded in Step 1.
7. Wait for it to complete flashing. Once done, wipe data/cache (don’t if you’re dirty flashing)
8. Done!

I installed it works fine, but I only have 4 columns on the desktop how to change it. Thanks to a solid job.

Hi man,
You've probably need this hack for this Asus's Cam

https://gerrit.omnirom.org/c/android_device_asus_rog3/+/42396

 

[TheManNoPlan]

Dirty flash works fine over Statix 12 with no issues, Asus cam even works. Used magisk to pass safetynet. So far everything is working

Hello can you explain how you managed to install magisk?

 

[TheManNoPlan]

Hello can you explain how you managed to install magisk?

Just download the APK from their GitHub page, change the extension from .apk to .zip. Now boot into recovery, hit system update and adb sideload; finally type "adb sideload Magisk-v25.2.zip" it'll say it's not verified and ask if you want to install anyways, just hit yes. It'll boot into system, then you'll need to enable zygisk and reboot and install universal safetynet fix and magiskhide props config to pass safetynet and have gpay/banking work. That's the easiest method for me personally.

Been using this ROM as daily driver since Friday, and so far everything is great

Whatsapp is working smoothly, ASUS cam still have issue ofc, but vicahya Gcam works smoothly in this ROM. Managed to pass safetynet as well thanks to the guide from @TheManNoPlan

I think i'll keep using this ROM as my daily driver

Thank you Androbots for all of your hardwork

Thank you very much I managed to install magisk and got my bank apps working now. But I still can't use Google Wallet, can't add my debit card it says that my phone is rooted. Tried to hide every Google and framework related services from magisk hide but still doesn't work even after clearing data of Google apps and reboot. Any idea ?

Congrats for this awesome ROM hands down the smoothest thing I ever used. But I have one question I don't have Google pixel's weather widgets that I used to have on the Android 12 version. Is it normal ?

 

[Hesselberg]

Does this rom have some sort of battery limiter like in stock rom?

 

[ibolito]

@Androbots I found a glitch: the fingerprint icon doesn't match the actual fingerprint location

@Androbots I found a glitch: the fingerprint icon doesn't match the actual fingerprint location View attachment 5731467

This is the only issue I've seen and it really doesn't impact fingerprint reader performance. ROM runs beautifully and SELinux is Enforcing.
