Ok I'll give you a little information
1) There is a very highly likely chance that the laser-auto-focus will not work. Of course we don't know until we try but I am not confident because getting things like that which are not in common android source code is very difficult to get working.
2) There are many versions of the ZF2 laser, some come with different kernels therefore will need sources for each kernel (potentially). They also might share the same source (won't know unless I take a good look at it)
3) I am downloading the Kernel source for the ZE551KL and will upload it to github for a starting point. You can easily fork it from there into your github repo. It should be up in a day or less. By the looks of your github repo, you have a different model (one with a 410 snapdragon). Kernel sources are available from the asus.com website under support. You can download it from there for now and I can show you how to upload it to github.
4) If you plan on supporting all the ZF2 laser models, I would suggest for the device repos to make a "common" repo as they will share a lot of the same code, then have separate repos for each model for all the unique characteristics of them.
Edit: kernel uploading to my github. Internet is slow but you can see it soon by going to https://github.com/Hardslog/android_kernel_asus_zf2l

Yes. I think supported all Z2L

Thank you... we are waiting for you

How is it going?

do you can please creat a custom rom for ze500kl

There is already a custom ROM for Z00T and Z00L, and I think you should make one for a device that don't have it. Like Z00ED. Also I think you need to have the device so you can test it. No one likes broken ROMs

But.... Why u need make source for zen 2 laser?
Cyanogen have source for this.... And some device already custom.... Only ze500kl don't have.... But i think can use source of msm8916-common !

Sources

I'm here to question the device owner. There are few sources around about this device. They are raw and they are as common always experimental. Does anyone need them?
Furthermore, I can sum up here any sources I or other get to find about this device or its periphery.

Very good thing, I'm trying to build a CM13 rom from sources and I'm not sure if I have all required sources. For now I have, kernel sources with some "vendor" files from Sony and I found all build parameters like offsets/adresses and correct cmdline (no thanks to Sony because never released or mentioned them), the device tree dumped from my device, and I will dump the vendor tree too.
Now I need the defconfig for CM (very not sure if the stock one will work) , and some files like the boardconfig and some config files. I'm using the Elephone P9000 sources for sample, almost the same device (hardware side) and source files.
If I have some time I will try to upload files to git but I never tried before (sync only)...

Don't need to hesitate. I'll try to put the directions I've gathered here up today so it is done.

I finished to upload my files to Github:
https://github.com/rrvuhpg
You will find the device, kernel and vendor files to build CM13 for F3112/F3116. For now it will not work, it's just to share and help. I successfully built and booted the Cyanogen recovery with the kernel from sources, the doors for porting new roms are open?? :fingers-crossed:
My next step is to finish the device tree, verify the vendor tree and build the rom

Can you publish some brief preview?
Need to say the sources I had just seem to be down, so can't share them.
Through which Program are these to flash? If you're that far I can hold a look at it and may join in your development.
Verification of the Vendor Files is something I was not very good at it, not even a yolk I managed.

For now the only preview I can publish are the CM13 boot and recovery "as is", I'm not sure if it can help but I will release them if someone want to port others MTK Roms on XA. ( Never booted any ported rom with the stock kernel, stuck at Sony logo)
Flashing is easy: the recovery with fastboot and Rom/boot in a single flashable zip on the SD.
The kernel sources are coming from 33.2.B.2.95 open source archive from Sony but built from the lastest CM13 and Google git sources.
The vendor tree from 33.2.B.2.93 dumped from my phone, only common files with the P9000 are on my git for now.
The device tree from P9000 sources (from @Deepflex git) but seem OK.
CM13 have Android 6.0.1, I don't know if the security patch is the last one but August for sure.
I'm not so far from a finished build (not mean fully bootable), for now I successfully build a full CM13 for the Elephone P9000 (the twin of the XA, I'm using it as base). It mean my "kitchen" is working Now I'm trying to identify the last proprietary files from all others stock/cm13 libs, modify make files and cross my fingers it will fully build without errors.
You can join me no problem all people are welcome because I can't do all alone

good work , but I am noob to create rom with kitchen .. only zip edit I know

Yesterday I successfully built CM13 for XA from sources
But news are not good, the CM recovery is fully working as expected but the rom is stuck just after the Sony logo (Mediatek screen with "loading...") like on my previous attempts to port other roms. The kernel built from CM kitchen do the same... I will upload my git and my rom to see if someone have an idea on the problem. Now I will focus on the "vendor" files, but I'm not sure if it's the real problem. Can it be a locked preloader/kernel or something like that?
EDIT: I think the boot problem is related to the defconfig file from Sony kernel sources, I will try to change some settings. (the door for adding kernel features :good

Love you!
I will buy this phone thanks to you :highfive:

Thank you for your work on our phone, it's very cool.
I would have helped if i could develop myself. If you need help get in touch with me i know some great devs who could maybe help you

any news @rrvuhpg ?

Yes I have some news but I want to create a dedicated thread for the CM13 project with updates, explanations and downloads to avoid off topic here. I am on holiday on next week and I will have time to work on it and give explanations. For now I'm stuck on boot because of Sony extra settings in the boot process, it's the first time I see a bootstrap and TA partition mount on a MTK device. If you know a dev for helping me passing the Sony part in the boot init it can be great :angel:
Other thing, I updated my git with parts of the update made by @Deepflex on the P9000 sources and my recent changes.

Building ROM from source

I want to build a custom ROM (CosmicOS) for my device (ZenFone Selfie, Z00UD, supports all Z00T roms).
I've already found a proper device tree, but I'm unsure about kernel and vendor trees I'm about to use.
Kernel:
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_asus_msm8916
Vendor:
https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_asus
Am I using proper kernel and vendor trees?
The reason why am I asking this question is because I couldn't find a kernel tree for my processor (MSM8939) in Lineage OS' github and Asus' vendor's proprietary has no Z00T subfile.

you need proper device trees...send me the link for device trees and is your phone has any current rom supported...if yes paste a link

Device tree:

Supported ROMs:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/rom-viper-os-v2-1-t3640026
There are even more of them, of course
As I said before, my phone (ZenFone Selfie, Z00UD) supports all ROMs that support Z00T variant of device (ZenFone 2 Laser)
Also, a source code of ROM I want to build:
https://github.com/Cosmic-OS

Take the same kernel as the devs use to build for Z00T and vendor of Asus from Muppets...it will be no problem if it won't vendor of Z00T...and also include the common trees of ur device...while building...and for vendor just create a file named vendorsetup.sh in ur device trees...

So you say that the kernel tree I've included in this thread is proper one, right? Or should I download the one from ASUS?

Yes...and try including common trees also

Treble_for_klte

Guys why there is no developer here working on a treble project enable tool to our phone
Since we have a stable oreo rom and have all the libs and files in vendor to make oreo boot successfully without bugs there is a possible way to make our klte project treble i'm sure >
but i can't lonely make this project alive we need to work with our devs to make this happens
since the creation of vendor partition is not that hard thing but i'm didn't know anything about editing the kernel and the device tree to boot from new vendor partition.
Thank you if you reach that point of the thread

@phhusson i really appreciate your work for the project treble forum
Can you help me with making this thing happens ?

treble is not only bound to partitioning , its also a kernel version as well which we not even near it , the required kernel version is 3.18 (as the bare-minimum ) and up , the S5 is stuck at 3.4.113 so no treble for the S5.

Need ZenParts Flashable Zip

ZenParts is a utility that enables ZenMotions & Zen tweaks such as Audio Gain, Vibration strength, etc.
I've been searching ZenParts module for my X00TD (Max Pro M1). I'm planning to use it on Lineage OS which obviously don't come with it.
There are also ROMs out there that include ZenParts, but I need the module so that I can use on the Non existed ROMS too.
Posting such files or links is appreciated !

There's also github source code for it?
https://github.com/saurabhchardereal/ZenfoneParts/blob/master/README.md
Can anyone compile the code & make a flashable zip if possible.

You can't make a flashable zip because it need the device tree --> need to build a new ROM.
