ASUS ZenHub is LIVE

Hey everyone!
Although I haven't been a part of the community as long as some of the other members - I've had a really great time lurking and hope to contribute and help out!
I launched a new website a week or so ago - ASUS ZenHub - It's there for the community to interact, learn some tips and tricks you might not know, and participate in contests that I'll be running every so often! I'm still building out the site and it's at a rough stage right now, but I'll be adding content every other day about the ZenFone2, some product announcements, and features to help make your phone experience better. So although there might be some overlap in some content - XDA will be the place for powerusers to continue to hang and discuss ROMs and Development. I will also expand to include some other "Zen" products - like our ZenWatch, ZenPads, and Zenbooks, but really right now I'm focused on our phones.
I hope you guys like the site and I would love it if you could provide some feedback. Again, the site is really meant for the community - Please let me know what kind of content you guys would love to read about and I'll be sure to whip something up!
All the best,
ASUS Khanger

I actually saw this before on Reddit lol. Good job man. The site looks nice. I'm glad Asus is taking the time to do this.

Thank you so much! Yeah I love being a part of the community!

Any news if there will be an app for this?

Hey Khang, I was wondering if the information on the site provided is just for the NA variant of the phone. Also the layout seems rather nice, maybe it would be a good idea to some contests for Asus devices that aren't in North America but are thinking of bringing over. This way whoever recieves it can help review it.

Unfortunately, no app for this, although ZenTalk might be your best bet there.

Hi! Yes, this site is mainly for NA users. We would love to have more giveaways, beta testers, and reviewers... I'll definitely consider it and see what we can do.

@ASUS_Khang
It would be cool ASUS release the full sources so the community can play with it. Mean while ASUS works in future updates

This is what the developer said about his project
MAKE CLEAR some questions..
Hello every body. I need to make clear some questions here.There should be no misunderstanding.
1.I will make no threade on XDA or 4PDA. Ok, you can say, thats i can get there some help) I am not new on XDA and 4PDA, and i known exactly " how much help i can get there". No way)
2.I am working along. Btw i known all worthwhile huawei developers, it is few guys(can count finger on one hand) Some times we talking privat in search of solutions.
3.I never publish what i do. I mean device tree, vendor tree and source..Why?? Because i dont see any point, it is typically for Kirin SoC, you need just to improve it for our device.
It was so with Honor 2 and will so with Honor 7.
4.For future . I think you all waiting for ROM release, but not many of you noticed that every one can still now donate to project. Every one still now can show how much respect a job. I dont decided how it will released, mb i will do it like with Honor 2. I have a closed group for donators(group have 100 members for Honor 2), how really want develop a project, go forward..
5.I known that i get many bad words to me after i publish it. But i really known myself what i "must"....I owe nothing.
6. I hope you all can undestand what i means, if not, am sorry) and wish you good luck. And wellcome who want to stay here with me)

Another avenue we could explore is to port the ROM from the huawei P8, that has the same SoC as the honor 7.
The dev has done a really good job of being public about this see this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...-huawei-p8-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-t3451457
From the facebook post of this Cyanogenmod Dev it suggests that we'd have to pay for access to his ROM which makes me feel rather uneasy, I'd donate and I'm happy to do so but let it be my choice

So we have to pay for it , we don't have the right to ask for a fully functioning Rom and he owes us nothing !!!!
Looks like a bad deal.

Well, well) Here i am..This arschparty is not full without me.
Can i ask first?
Where did you find, that you must pay? You can not read? Or you can not to undestand what you read?
Code:
but not many of you noticed that every one can still now donate to project
I think is difference. You have allways a choise.
Can i ask one more questions? You blabla makers.. Phone is 2 years old, i dont noticed that some one here tried to build a CM for this phone.. Why? It was a lot time for that. It is fact, no one tried it.. I started 4 month befor, i got this phone 5 month befor.. And i dont thinking about guarantie or somethink like that.. I just started. And i did it.
Here can only blalblabla.. It is true, or you want to try? I can share startup device tree) you can start write now..
You have always a choise, depence of how you see a future.

You said you will not release it on xda then talked about a private group for donors .
It's either my english is bad or yours is.
Yes it's more than a year without a custom Rom and it must be alot of work to stop other people from working on this device and to cost you months working on it but no-one denied any of that in fact the whole forum was exited by your video of CM booting up.
It's a public forum so basically part of it is "blablablabing" with other users about shared topics.

Some are good at blablabla, some are good at development. Let them work on their qualities which they have.
I can understand the frustation of developer by this post. BlaBla people should not expect everything for free. This is worth to pay from my point of view. But XDA has trained us to get us all developments free. So general mindset is also causing problem.

Its the mindset created by the ancestral devs who gave it for free. Basically, not ready to pay for anything. But need to get the best one.
Getting those donators is also a big thing. If those people are in XDA, those names can be posted.

In my opinion it would help every Honor 7 user if you would make your work public. There are only benefits in my opinion so why don't start a thread on XDA posting about everything?

this is good compared to nothing right? we have to thank that lone developer.

Hi, you didn't give elements for this problem, so i ask :
- is this issue for all apps ?
- only for apps who need GPS ?
- does GPS work ?
- did you give authorisation for services Google play and playstore for location ?
You also could provide your build.prop

Why did you buy this phone?

It was a random guy selling it by the train station where I lived. I was skeptical at first as it could've been stolen but at the end of the day I had my head am filming so I just took video of the transaction. Got it $15 cheaper than what the store was offering it for with a discount with a month of activation. Sounded fair to me.
The screen is what sold me. So much space to it. A Google search later and I was sold on it from the processor, screen size, and internal space. For $35 it wasn't bad.
Tinkering with it these few months has been nice. I've never owned an LG device before this one, can't say I will after though. I'm a Samsung/ZTE kind of guy. Those companies love the developers.
LG released source code like 4-5 months after the phones release, which really sucked development wise. We were pretty much screwed from the getgo.
A year later and there's not much development done for it but we do have the people making the effort still and that is what development is about. The ability to keep trying g no matter how long it takes. Who knows? Maybe we will find something new, or maybe LG will give us a new platform update (mm or n).
In the meantime, I still carry 2 phones as this one is just to tinker on.
Why did you get this phone?

This thread is not designated for this discussion you're bringing. This is a discussion on why users have obtained this device, reason why exactly people got it. What they expected from it.
As for your comments, I did not take them personally, I took them personally on behalf of the developers and users of the forum. As a community we must work together, not tear down whatever foundation is existent.
As for your participation, from my knowledge you helped with the as330 model as best as anyone could, but the ms330 model - you copied a couple posts which did more harm than good. Multiple threads of the same information to newcomers confuses them.

I got this phone because I had upgraded from the LG L90 with T-Mobile JUMP. The lady told us it was a better phone in the store. It's really not that much different tho. I still like this phone though.

Developers, we need your help

Many people are looking for a smartphone with a great cost-benefit and able to meet all our needs. Sincerely? The answer for many would be the Mido. But there are a lot of people who need a more portable smartphone, which can be handled with just one hand without problems. These people decided to bet on the Redmi 4 Prime, which has practically the same characteristics and very similar parts. However, its development was not as great as its bigger brother, and recently one of the top developers abandoned the device, leaving a lack of content. So, I come to you, to that you kindly port some ROMs from the very similar brother to our smartphone. I think we will give you all the attention you deserve, because only those who do not have something know the true importance of things.

+1

+1 , would love to see some of the greatest developers on Mido working on the Redmi 4 Prime !

+1

That would be a relief for thousands of Redmi4 Primes and their owners!!

Really?u came here to request redmi note 4 developers to port rom for redmi 4 prime,with ur funny reason of one hand usability.Sry but developers of redmi note 4 not only work for its roms but also updating it frequently and now with android o's arrival do u really expect anyone to help u out?.The only people who can help you all are redmi 4 prime user themselves

You should be able to easily port Mido ROM's as it's same SoC, weird that nobody has tried it.

+1.

How many threads like this we will see in Redmi Note 4 section?
I can understand ask for help to fix some bug but not request to port whole rom to different device. If you think that is easy because they are "similar", then port by your own rom from Mido to your device.

I think it's not a real request that just somebody build roms for the RM4P.
Problem is that the RM4P wont be supported very good in future because xiaomi just pulled it from the market (nougat update is not shure)
I think it would be very very useful to get a clear view on which source parts can be used for both smartphones.
Could result in some very nice sinergy effects. TBH RM4P would gain a lot more out of it... but who knows
I think there is no reason to keep device development separted when the devices are so similar
And TBH #2: I can clearly see where your restrains come from. A lot of xiaomi users are just whining all the time. Its like a bunch of kids (anybody who knows the miui.com forum might know what Im talking about)
But it would be really sad if we would miss the opportunity for sharing/caring for our two devices because of that

Well, we need to have at least a kernel to make a good kernel for use so dev can make at least one rom possible if possible, I know it's difficult to carry a ROM for a smartphone that you do not have, imagine making a ROM without knowing it , I would do it if I had conditions and knowledge about but I do not have, so we are asking for help we want at least an official 100% functional ROM

c'mon dude... what's wrong with those r4p guys that jusk ask for help...
if you can't help them better to be quiet instead of insulting them or asking them to go away...
btw for r4p guys:
I think it will be very hard dude... yes, our device share same SoC (Snapdragon 625)
but I've look into it, we have different display, touch module, camera...
there is other components too like fingerprint, modem, wifi, bluetooth, battery, etc... I'm not sure it's same between r4p and rn4.
You could try to flash one of the kernel or even rom here, but it's very dangerous and I think no one want to take the risk

It'd be great help if any developer can build a stable kernel for markw out of mido. R4p's own kernel source can help with that.

I am also a redmi 4 prime user and would love if there is something that could be done.

we ask for your help since you're a bigger community. and you have like 5 official ROM's, and we have none. if you don't know, our dev @Razziell quit because he hadn't enough money to continue. his sources are good, so if you want to help its not from scratch - we have his sources.
unfortunately r4p community doesn't have many devs(if at all) to do this job.
maybe if one dev from here talk with Razziell or help him , he might convince him to stay.
we really sorry to bother you guys with those threads, but understand our situation

You do not need to talk about things you do not know. I had problems with the hard drive and only some people from the Russian community helped them to solve. For them, I continue to work. The rest can freely use my source, they are completely working.

You have problem with HD? Why didn't say that in R4P forums, you just say that you want to stop developing because you don't have time to do it. Is that whole reson to stop sharing with R4P community ?

C'mon guys!!!
Any good dev out here?? We have a good kernel.
Not fair that Note 4x as more roms and his little brother don't!! <3

Why not fair? Unfair is your stipulation and pretensions. Its simple: more popular device = more devs = more custom roms.
This thread should be closed because if devs will want to help - they will and pretensions like above will not change anything.

I recommend you guys start taking the initiative and learn to build the kernel yourselves.

Now what?

Considering that our project that shall not be mentioned was successful, I was wondering about what can be expected in terms of custom roms for this device. I don't know if ASUS released decent sources for the Ze533KL, so can we expect an eventual daily driver release or shall we expect more experimental builds? Of course I'm not asking for ETA, just wondering about what can actually be achieved for this phone.
The thing I really wanted to have with this phone is some kind of burn-in protection (which is implemented in LOS as far as I know). My phone is still under warranty, and I can already see marks of the keyboard and other icons when displaying a white image.
Since the actual thread was closed, maybe this one could be used as a bulletin board for any new unfoldings.
Cheers.

sure thing, I also thought about creating new thread where we can inform each other about our initiative. I believe that McFy is waiting for his unit to arrive. Then there will be LOS hopefully. I'm rooting for him
As far as Lineage OS features I think it is OK to ask a question here and wait for some research and answer about it.
Let's keep our fingers crossed

"Now what?" is a fantastic name for the thread.
Exactly my feeling.
Ironicaly, XDA killed the iniatitive on the day it reached its goal. So, there was no reason at all to do what was done.
About a custom ROM for the device, I have no preferences. Whatever suits the developer is good for me as long as the final product is stable and runs well.

hello everyone,
I bought the device and got it today, I downloaded stock rom, kernel sources and flashed twrp on it, I did a first build for this device but it didn't boot. Don't ask any ETA as I will not be able to tell the amount of work until I get something working. I will share with you the progress but can't give any date.
Regards and thanks for the support

bro pls give an unofficial process to unlock this device because official unlock tool not working it shows "unknown network error".

@McFy any news?

please share a working process of unlock bootloader without asus unlock tool apk....i m waiting for 3 years

I'll be honest - I don't know what any of that says and for the next ten days I'm stuck on mobile (vacation!!) so if you could translate that would be great.

Basically, a dev named Erik will try to contact Mcfly so that they both could work on porting the official Zenfone 3 Lineage to Zenfone 3 Zoom.

Thank you for that.

Oh well, don't wanna jump the gun here, but it seems like the dude took the money and spent on something else, or he's been really busy since then, as he no longer even commented on any xda posts.
In any case, It's a shame. Now we know why XDA doesn't allow group funding for this kind of thing. Not asking for eta is something, but you can't volunteer to develop for a device, take the money and disappear and expect people not to distrust you.
My advice for all others that contributed would be to next time buy a phone with a greater dev community, and never donate if there's no ongoing project.
Really hope I'm wrong here, please @McFy, show up and prove me wrong.

I don't think you're jumping the gun - it's almost three months since @McFy last posted to us that he obtained the phone and even his github project named "android_device_asus_zenfone3_zoom" (which I presume this was for) doesn't appear to have any work done on/to it whatsoever - I don't think it's unreasonable to have gotten some kind of status update within that time, even if it's negative.
Without knowing what happened for certain I will unfortunately have to think the obvious.

Hey guys sorry for not updating you, I don’t want to tell my private life but my gf have health problems and it made me busy driving her/ spend time with her, I definitely didn’t forget you and am in touch with the project, I achieved to boot but lot of stuffs are broken; zenfone 3 have now new trees since it is now official and I am working on it; I went in touch with the dev. Fyi I did buy the device for real as I said, I am someone you can trust and in the case the situation of my gf isn’t getting better I will give that phone to another developer at my fees; I also want to mention It’s not on my habit to share wip builds or push trees change until it’s not on a state I judge nice enough.
Best regards and I hope you will understand. I totally apologize but I went inactive in all dev scene I am on and it’s hard for me as well to come back like this..
If you have any questions I can answer them if they are not personals.
I sincerely hope that you guys won’t get mad at me.

First off, I am sorry to hear of your gf's health problems - and I truly mean that. I hope that she recovers and you don't need to tell us any more information because that is personal.
Next - the heads-up is absolutely appreciated. Thank you! I do hope you can also see from our point of view how it was looking to us and understand that we were getting puzzled. Now we know why.
Thank you again.

That’s me who owe you that and more.
Yes I ofc can see from your point of view and that’s why I went back on the forums, I got emails and more so I realized I got the phone since enough time for you to think I might have forgotten you,
Thanks for your message it’s really appreciated!

So, another month's passed. Any news?

anyone in contact with the developer?

so sad. that money was important to me. now the z3z is kinda past on my life. won't judge others, but by the delay, i guess i can judge myself injuried.
