As we can see, a hell lot of development is taking place for Zenfone 2,
but most of the development is taking place for ZE551ML model.
So its a request that please do something regarding ZE550ML model too.
The users are lagging behind as the custom kernels and other things is not going for ZE550ML users.
I request to all the DEVs of Zenfone 2:good:

I'm pretty sure the developers will come around and start adding support to are ZE550ML models. We already have CM development for both models, so that's a start. :thumbup:

Um ZE550ML will receive 5.1 first, so feel good about that....

Let's agree, GPS and FM Radio fixing is out of our reach right now. No one has been able to fix it and chances are no one will in the distant future. We need private code of GPS and FM Radio from ASUS and Broadcom to fix this and no one here is an expert in Reverse Engineering, So, I think it's safe to say, we can't fix this on our own.
We have a very stable CM13 for our device that very few other devices have. Heck, OnePlus X got its first official nightly a few days ago. And I think we will get Android N in the future by our developers (I hope ).
Zenfone 5 is a great device, even after 2 years, I can imagine having it for another 2 years or more but I want the next 2 years bug free and stable and I think everyone wants this.
Our primary concern should be about getting this GPS and FM Radio code because we have everything in our reach other than this. GPS and FM Radio are what we need, not different cyanogenmod-based ROMs every day.
Both the companies have rights of their own to decide whether they want to share it or not but why shouldn't we try in our own means ?
We can post daily on ZenTalk once requesting the code or just sit here enjoying our bugged ROMs.
We, as a mass, can do this. We just have to be persistent about the matter and not lose interest, Enough resistance and load on ZenTalk server and we can make an impact on them, just an impact. We just need to make sure they know we want this.
I tried to contact few of the prominent developers here but they weren't willing and I understand why, this is a lost cause if there isn't enough participation from the community. So,
I hope everyone has an opinion about this matter. We can achieve this and we will.
Sign this petition to support the cause
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/release-gps-and-fm-radios-private-code-of-asus
Agree To You
This guy has raised a valid point. We have so many awesome ROMs coming up but only issue is GPS and FM. We should find out means to fix this and get out ROMs full usable.
As far as ASUS developers are concerned, they have not been able to provide us even a lollipop OTA with Battery Drain Fixed so i dont expect any help from them. They are busy making newer devices and ignoring ZF5 users who took the risk of buying an ASUS device when ASUS was a new player in the smartphone market.
Either our XDA developers have to find out something else we should flood ZenTalk to get their attention this !!!!!
XDA Developers please dont provide us too many customizations with multiple versions of the same ROM but please please try to fix GPS bug
Exactly. We need awareness, @vgpranav, you should share this in zenfone groups. Not only you, Everyone who's reading should do this. It's not about just posting on ZenTalk, it's about raising total awareness about this.
Nah. Asus is IGNORING the first generation of the zenfones since the zenfone 2 comes out with the other vesions.
Soo i think we unload our anger on Zen talk would not make a difference.
Just waisting our time..... even tho I travel a alot and i need GPS but i think ASUS just gonna point the middle finger to us then ignore our existance.......

A-GPS working fine buddy. In the 1.9 build
I think we'll never get this private code...
What @ChristopherXI said is true, ASUS is ignoring the first generation Zenfones since the release of the Zenfone 2, proof of this is that even a good and optimized Lollipop ROM didn't come to Zenfone 5, even a OTA update for Lollipop...
ASUS disappointed me so much doing this...
It dosen't matter if asus will going to ignore us, we need to TRY, look how far we are now! remember the old days when we din't even have a forum section for our zenfone 5! and now we even have resurrection remix 5.6.7!! becouse the developers put a lot of effort for making this, and this time is for US to make an effort to them, we can do this guys!

FM Radio is a secondary/optional thing, as most people dont use it(have offline music or services like spotify instead), but GPS is a must, the question is how to find the proper sources, if any device has a similar hardware, it could be backported, on Motorola Atrix's time, a group built a 3.10.x kernel from scratch(literally) as 2.6.32 was totally obsolete for android 4.x(motorola's drivers just didnt work), the same can be done on the zenfone, if only people find a similar hardware with open source code and time(plus lots of testers reporting issues properly/logcats).
Complain about it wont fix it, finding a workaround will.
OMG.
Source code of driver for our GPS chip was published on Github.
The problem is this source code is for device with arm processor. (our device has a x86 processor)
The other way to use a reverse engineering. It have been done too. But it does not work.
It is very hard to fix it because Bluetooth.apk, bluetooth.default.so and gpsd has many dependencies.

YES ! Same Title " RELEASE GPS AND FM RADIO PRIVATE CODE " with different/same message. I did make a post but it was ignored.
My thread had the message
"Please release Zenfone 5's source code, So that we can enjoy stable GPS-FM Radio enabled Custom ROMs. If you're not going to provide updates, let the dev community do it. We don't want your updates now, just release the source code. We need the private code of GPS and FM Radio of ASUS and Broadcom to make these functions work on custom ROMs.
I love my Zenfone 5, but it's been an absolute disappointment to see other devices get stable custom ROMs and watching my device still running on stock. This device has potential even after 2 years and I think it'll run for another two for me if you release the code.
Thanks."
Everyone can use this as a reference in their thread for posting ! Let's go !
Guys lets get them
So lets flood them with our requests so that they cant ignore us anymore
1) Visit Zentalk forum (http://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=107)
2) Create Thread with title "RELEASE GPS AND FM RADIO PRIVATE CODE"
3) Content
"Please release Zenfone 5's source code, So that we can enjoy stable GPS-FM Radio enabled Custom ROMs. If you're not going to provide updates, let the dev community do it. We don't want your updates now, just release the source code. We need the source code that is injected under Bluetooth app and Framework to make GPS, FM Radio work.

Get a more known/popular/used device and you won't have that problem. You can't expect serious developers and professionals to have mid-low end devices, they don't own them so they can't develop for them. With unsupported devices like yours it leaves you with 3 choices.
1) learn to modify or develop your own ROMs
2) donate a device with the same model number as yours to a developer willng to develop for it, they have to have the actual device to do the work.
3) Retire your device and get a newer more supported model.

Right guys I think its time for a change of tactic. They have ignored the petition with 1200+ signatures, they ignore individual requests. So can i suggest anyone who is not happy logon to the lemall.us facebook page and leave a feedback review, it sits at present at a score of 3.8 from 238 reviews.
I am fairly sure should all x800 US owners who signed the petition leave feedback of 1 star and negative feedback this rating will go through the floor. Maybe they will then pay some attention as its 1 of their income streams.
Saddens me we need to do that but we have all bought a product in good faith and have been treated like a gangrenous foot!!!

good day. has anyone seen that now there are 4 differente source codes for x900 in leeco open source websites

There are versions android 6 for the Oneplus 2 which uses the same processor.
Maybe it is possible to adapt it on our Letv 1 pro US.
What do you think.
It's a shame not to have a recent version while this phone is a monster

Keep updating guys.
Currently using Redmi note 3, with cm14 flashed.
If cm is also available on 5s, I think it will be an even better choice than google pixel.(considering the price)
it is snapdragon device, so i dont see why should not be development for it. also is chinese device. have to wait because device is quite new, only 2 months..
You can if you'd like, request cm in this thread:

There will be no CM for this device if there are no sources released by Xiaomi it's as simple as that. So probably instead of bashing people from CM for support that they cannot offer first step would be to pressure Xiaomi on their own forums so at least they are aware that people want it. I'm not saying this will change anything because as a Chinese company they probably care very little about free and open source software licences bounded with the source code they use and profit from but at least if every one interested makes a post there this issue will be highlighted. There is already a request to release the sources here http://en.miui.com/thread-407935-1-1.html
i heard xiaomi doesn't include miui's new feature on mi5s/mi5s plus's developer rom because stability is first
i think xiaomi making mi5s/mi5s plus's kernel source completely and they will release it if it completed
(sorry for poor english)
it's not a question of "if", it's a question on "when" they release sources. Have a little faith and patience =)

From what i've seen, it's completely the oposite... chinese companies care very little about patents and are very open to trading/sharing source codes... have a look at this documentary:
