I'm learning as well with you guys! Can't wait for the ROMs to kick off and this phone to really be used to it's full potential!

Hello guys, I just rooted the phone (even tho it came with an unlocked bootloader) I just checked the android development section... and there are no roms? Is that right or am I looking in the wrong subforum?

If you are not experiencing the issue, then there is no need to flash.
If however you take the plunge and install TWRP, you will probably need this.

I tried to be clear that this was for the tutorial, not needed for you...yet.
If you are going to flash a ROM, even via FlashFire, I believe that you will trip Knox. Same with a custom kernel. (Joe, can you ask a dev?) That said, if flashing a ROM is in your future or if you want to include this in your tutorial, then you might as well flash and use TWRP. And if you flash TWRP, you should flash the patch.
Joe, I hope to see you on the Dark Side soon...we have cookies! (And some pretty cool ROMS!)

[TOOL/UTILITY]ANY-KERNEL Flasher For Zenfone 2 Laser[Noob Friendly]

Hi All, This is my new Project for
ZENFONE 2 LASER
​=//Flash all kernels with ease\\==​
What is this?
This is a easy to use Noob-Friendly utility for flashing kernels with ease. Many newbies do not understand fastboot
or TWRP because of no previous experience with these before.This project provides them with a very easy method of doing so.
The only thing involved here is simple copy/paste and renaming files.
What do I need before I start ?
1.)Any kernel image file(.img)
2.)TWRP/Cyanogenmod Recovery
WOW, sounds nice !! Tell me how do I use this project of yours ? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Okay Okay Have some patience !
The instructions are as follows =>
1.)Grab any kernel designed for your device model.It would be a image(.img) file.
2.)Rename that file to boot.img
3.)Download the zip file from attachments and open it with any compression manager on PC or Phone
4.)Put the boot.img inside zip file.(Most probably you won't need to extract the zip for doing this.
4.)Put the modified zip in your phone.
6.)Reboot to TWRP , and flash the zip file
Easy enough huh !
Downloads:
See the attchments.
Also the Thanks button is just to the right of the place where you will find the attachments Do press it hehehe.

yeah awesome bro, keep it up

Looks good and easy to use.. It really works.. Thanks abhishek for making flashing kernel image easy...

Nice friend. thanks.
You could work in keep the kernel after unattended cm13 nightly update.

Again, not acting like a critique, but copy, renaming and pasting vs direct flashing is my point.
Anyhow, what ever floats your boat mate !! :angel:

This is just for newbies so that kernel flashing can be made easy for them.

It's already easy. Download and flash. Doesn't get any easier than that.

xPosed and Cataclysm ROM

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Xposed on cataclysm from. I flash the zip file, but after optimization of applications I have a force close of the UI system app. Then I need to uninstall the framework in order to restore the system. Anyone have some suggestions? Any other ROM like cataclysm with Xposed already in?
Thanks all

I know it's not an answer to your question, but I'd advise against using a ROM that's been discontinued half a year ago. Though Cataclysm was a great ROM i moved on to Pure Nexus myself. Works great with Xposed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to install it but has some problem with the root. I flashed the zip of SuperSU but it start to boot loop. For that I turned back to cataclysm. I will wait of someone has some ideas... In case I will install pure and try again!

You're doing something wrong.
Are you using the correct Xposed? Version 86? X64?
Are you on the latest Pure Nexus and latest Vendor img?
Are you using latest SU? 2.76 ?
If you're saying you are having bootloops with Cataclysm, I and everyone else will not help you. That ROM is dead, it cannot be compatible with anything current.

My problem is root the system. And yes I'm using the right Xposed in cataclysm.

OK, read my comment again, I edited it a bit.
I advise no one here to assist you as far as Cataclysm goes, sorry.

Don't know, haven't used that feature ever on any ROM.
I think Gravitybox has it though? not sure.
Anyway, yeah, just use a different one, that is currently supported. Otherwise it's impossible to pin-point a ROM-SuperSu conflict.

No, but GravityBox has.
I'm using a combination, which you can see in my signature and it works perfectly.

Some people reported bootloops when flashing in the wrong order. If you clean flash pure Nexus and stick to the flashing instruction there should not be a problem.

host file locked [rooted]

Unable to turn on write permissions to host file.
Using ES FileExplorer. Root Enabled.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hmmm... That's something new to me. Must be some miui thing keeping it protected to run their ads. Did you try AdAway or similar that writes/replaces the file directly?
BTW ES FileExplorer is not what it used to be, full of useless and annoying "features". Try MiXplorer and thank me later.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23109280

Thanks! I was thinking the same about Miui somehow locking it down. I did try AdAway (first thing) and it just fails at the "applying" stage. That is what made me look at the permissions of the hosts file. Do you think I have to configure AdAway differently to work on here? It has always been straight forward on all of my other devices.
I am gong to try MiXplorer. Thank you for that bit of information. We'll see how it works.

You need need to disable SELinux with this app and then try again.

Thank you Doom Slayer as well! I used SELinuxModeChanger-v3.2.apk and MiExplorer thanks to your suggestions.
I still find that the system remains unaffected. From within AdAway I cannot even do Open Hosts File.
However, a plain hosts editor app has no issues in both opening and adding entries manually.
Could be some clues there?

Make sure u use latest adaway, and you can also try use it as system app. In case that won't help I would suggest to try to flash SuperSU again.

That's strange, can you set permissions for it in TWRP? 0755?

Just a quick input, using adaway 3.1.2 (57) compiled by mrRobinson on June 26 2016 and it works perfectly

Yeah, remember seeing thread on miui forum about AdAway... Maybe there's something special about installing/running it on miui

I will have to reload TWRP and give it a try.
But yes, it is weird. Maybe it is because I'm using the Developer ROM.

Thanks.

Is your bootloader unlocked? if yes then take nandroid backup and clean flash (wipe system, data and cache) everything once when you have time....
I'm running MIUI8 beta 6.8.4 global beta and yes SuperSU 2.76

Yes I'm on Global Beta because I'm using Hydrogen (3GB/32GB) version of Mi Max and you are having Helium (3GB/64GB) so you may be using the chinese developer edition but that should not make any difference in using AdAway. Anyway you can try to take the nandroid and clean flash (just to try and rule out any further problems)

Yeah, something is wrong with my version. I can't even get SuperSU 2.76 to work. Installed, but non functional. Binaries won't load, Installation failed.
Ugh. I guess this ROM is just not working right. (China Development (not Global)). This is because Global is only for 32GB version. I am 64GB.
Please correct me if I am wrong: http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446
I know there are some custom ROM's out there on the Miui site, but I was not sure.
http://xiaomitips.com/download/miui-8-multilanguage-rom-for-mi-max/
I probably need the new ROM they've been promising. The one I have seems to be very buggy when doing advanced things.

I beleieve noverity is (was) used for decrypted devices, I used it in the past, now not anymore, I think the newest twrps made it obsolete. As for the encrypted devices I really cannot say anything because mine is decrypted and is the only device I have flashed on. I don't know whether and how it works on ecrypted ones.

Any screenshots?

I don't know why the maintainers remove those parts from google's sources, maybe they intend to include them later. Anyway, yours is a good idea, I might give it a try adding them back.

You've made a right decision!
However, after installing gapps, I can't use FaceLock, which can be normally used in the previous version of the rom.

i think you need to be decrypted, but first you need to format data if you are encrypted, after that flash rom + noverity
