After updating my zenfone 5 (intel 2.0GHz) to android Marshmallow screen locks and unlocks randomly when it's laying in landscape or horisontal position(if I handle it with any angle it also does, but less frequently)
I have no idea what to do. I have tried unofficial CM13.1 and Resurection Remix and it's the same(I made clean flash of course). Dirty unicorns doesn't boot at all, so I have no chance to check it.
Maybe I should flash any speciffic firmware to use marshmallow without problems but I have no idea wchich one... (Is there any step-by-step manual of moving to MM and flashing these ROMs? I'm not sure but i think I have used this one)
The second problem but a bit smaller is that I can't connect to the cellular data internet but i'd focus one the first one.
Here's the video:

If I enable any screen lock I just can't use the phone
Before Marshmallow update(on stock ROM, but unlocked) there was everything ok.
It also doesn't locks on TWRP, only on system
thats came from bootloaderunlock you can use cm 13.1 kernel and enable dnxfix for this second dirtyunicorn is booting when you came from cm based roms you must make a fullwipe then dirty is aosp thanks
Thanks
Ok, I flashed CM13.1 boot img. It's the same. I also tried to reflash whole CM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/development/cyanogenmod-13-t3382702 and it doesn't work.
The phone still locks and unlocks its screen :/
I made full wipe of course...
"dnxfix" - do you mean "dnfix" wchich is mentioned in cyanogen's thread? Ok, I'll try it. And slockfix. It looks promising
Have the same problem here. The problem goes away on airplane mode though.
Hello,
I received my Nexus 6P yesterday and got my SIM card activated without any issues at Verizon. I immediately took it home, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and then flashed CyanogenMod's latest nightly. After booting in, wireless networks weren't detected, and I only had 3G (no 4G LTE as I should). I restored my backup of the stock ROM that I made in TWRP and it hung at the Google logo. I'm not sure why. I then flashed all the latest factory restore images (MTC19X) to get it working again and determined that the issues I had in CyanogenMod might have happened due to the vendor.img I had on my phone at the time not being compatible with that build of CM13.
My questions are:
1) What are the known issues that would likely occur due to vendor.img being a different version than what CM13 was based on? The concept of vendor.img is new to me. I haven't had this, as far as I know, on any of my other phones (granted I'm coming from a locked Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had for almost 2 years)
2) How can you easily tell which vendor.img CM was based on so you know which one to flash?
3) Is there anything else I should be made aware of before attempting to flash CM13 again?
4) While using CM13, do most people recommend a custom kernel? If so, which one and how stable is it? What are the benefits of switching from the stock kernel, and how simple is it to go back if there's a problem?
Thanks!!
dude...I just got the N6P and ran CM13 within hours. This is what I did...
unlocked the bootloader
downloaded the lastest (MTC19X) image off of https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and unpacked it into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder
ran the flash-all.bat
fastbooted TWRP
installed CM13. (didn't wipe internal storage)
installed arm64 open Gapps pico
BAM!!!
right now running stock kernel. it's cool. I'm PrivacyGuard-ing the hell out of all my apps (turned off START AT BOOT and KEEP AWAKE for almost every downloaded app), though, so battery is OK
also using Kernel Adiutor but underclocking values for the CPUs doesn't seem to stick
So it likely worked for you since you had flashed the newest vendor.img first. Apparently there are compatibility issues with certain features that cause them not to work (such as WiFi) if you're using an older one.

1) Depends on ROM /VENDOR, sometimes nothings happens then an error message, sometimes things doesnt work
2) Just download fresh the latest snapshot, release or nightly (they are much more stable then for a few years!) and vendor image (use these ones which are recommended!)
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_angler (there is a link for the vendor)
3) If you stay close on the tutorials, i dont know what should happen (flashing a rom is normally not critical, installing a recovery can be!)
4) Custom kernels can be great, but its not a must-have. Which kernel you should use depends on your wishes: better battery, more power etc.
Hope i could have help you a little bit!

Very much so. I appreciate it!
Has anyone encountered the constant popup of the Select Sim Card message? I'm using project fi and I am still unable to find a solution to this issue.
Hi,
If I use a LineageOS (or Resurrection Remix OS) version from the last 2 months it gets stuck on the boot animation. Using an April or May version works fine.
The animation, and any sound, plays but it never gets past that. The phone is doing something as it is warm and using power faster than a 1.0A USB socket can charge it, 2.5A is fine though.
I can't find anyone else with this issue here or on Google.
I've tried
* Installing with and without GApps and SuperSU
* Installing with and without GApps and LineageSU
* Both Factory Resets, and Full wipes
* The latest 8.5 firmware and an old 8.1 firmware, from saurav333
* The latest 12.04.2017 firmware, from PsyMan
* I've let most of these boot animations run at least 30 minutes, the longest was 12 hours
* Confirming both System and Data partitions are EXT4 and doing a filesystem fix on both (per a Reddit suggestion)
Offically unlocked? If yes, try with the fw provided by TheStrix. It will boot.
BTW you should have posted this in questions section.
1. make you sure your device is coming from MM with officially unlocked
2. use firmware provided by OP on the 2nd post (officiall LOS 14.1)
I just moved from Pure Nexus 7.1 to SuperXE 8.1. I think I forgot to flash vendor image but otherwise did full clean flash. ROM boots but when trying to connect to WiFi there is voice input but no keyboard. Haven't ever seen something like this before... Added vendor image and redid full/clean flash multiple times with same result. Unfortunately, activity on that ROM thread is a bit slow and I'm down without my phone so decided to ask for help here.
Adding $20 bounty for help fixing. Serious withdrawal mode without my phone. I have a backup phone but it is nearly unusable...

Since you are coming from Nougat to Oreo i would suggest you first flash the full oreo factory image before flashing the oreo custom rom. Its not usually a must but solves a lot of minor problems
Hi, I open this thread because I wanted to kindly ask for advice on what the best bootstack to install Pie Roms like Resurrection Remix 7.0.2 or ViperOS 6.7 might be.
I have already used the A2017x_LineageOS15.1_UniversalBootstack_v2_by_DrakenFX but, when I flash it, even with TWRP_3.2.3-0L_v1.3-Axon7-Labs_Mod and its Remove Message function, I cannot remove the Bootloader Unlock Warning and I cannot boot directly into recovery (either from the phone off with the combination of keys or through the advanced restart of the Roms) without pressing the VolumUp key 2 or 3 times on the Bootloader Unlock Warning screen.
It's not a particularly annoying thing but it led me to wonder if there was a better Bootstack (in the past I tried the Axon7_RR-O_B32-B10_TREBLE-Ready_Oki20180803_FULL_EDL by Oki and I liked his Customized Bootstack with the personalized boot image)
So I wanted to kindly ask if anyone is aware of a better or more stable or more updated Boostack than this (all 3 would be better :fingers-crossed.
I accept any advice and I thank in advance anyone who will know how to help me and the whole forum to keep this device still alive (a special thanks to Raystef66, Oki, NFound and DrakenFX for all the work and guides that have been very useful to me in recent days).
Hi,
When flashing full EDL from DrakenFX, did you put a generic splash.img in the specific "splash" folder located in EDL TOOL ? If I remember correctly, this could delete annoying warning message when booting.

I downloaded A2017x_LineageOS15.1_UniversalBootstack_v2_by_DrakenFX.zip and flashed it with A2017G-O-B04-MODEM.zip from TWRP before flashing the rom.

OK, I made a mistake, full EDL is by Oki and not DrakenFX. This is in full EDL package the abitility to flash "splash.img".
This operation can be performed in EDL mode, that's what I meant in my previous post.
In the past, I tried your method (flashing by TWRP) , but I can't help since it didn't work for me.

Thanks for the answer, I have already tried Oki's EDL in the past (Axon7_RR-O_B32-B10_TREBLE-Ready_Oki20180803_FULL_EDL) but, I experienced some problems flashing an alternative recovery to NFound's 3.2.1-7 present inside the package after the installation.
If I'm not mistaken then it seems to me that the DrakenFX boostack is more recent and updated (I'm not an expert, I only compared the modification and creation dates of the files and the original creation dates of the ZTE boostacks, modified and used by Oki , and LineageOS used by DrakenFX, and so it seemed to me ).
I will try again and see how it goes.
For the moment the combination of A2017x_LineageOS15.1_UniversalBootstack_v2_by_DrakenFX with A2017G-O-B04-MODEM (especially this because the A2017G_OreoModem proposed by DrakenFX to be combined with his bootstack is more dated and, here in Italy, with the latest original modem published by ZTE, the reception in LTE with Fastweb is much better) and RR-P-v7.0.2-20200112-axon7-OFFICIAL works beautifully without bugs (or at least I haven't experienced it yet :fingers-crossed.
Can I kindly ask you if you know any other modified bootstack besides Oki's and DrakenFX's that are worth trying?
PS: I apologize if there are grammatical errors but my English is a bit rusty and I am helping myself with Google Translate to write these messages .
I didn't try another kernel/bootstack. However, many users talk about baddar kernel.
If you can try it (or another one) , I am very interested by your feedback [emoji39]

If I remember correctly the Resurrection Remix 7.0.2, which I am currently using, it is based on the Baddar kernel RC1.2 (OrdenKrieger's work).
I am currently using it with great satisfaction and it works beautifully.
For the activities that I have done so far I have not encountered any bugs, the phone works fast and smooth and the battery lasts 90-100% longer than before (more than 2 days between a recharge, for a battery older than 2 years , it's miraculous).

Saw your post and you reminded me about AEX 5.8 ROM by NFound. One of the versions had a great battery life, and there was bootstack transition recommended by NFound itself.
Not sure, but he suggest to use A2017U B12 Oreo beta bootstack instead of A2017U B35 Nougat on later versions. Why? I don't know.
Most of people will use Universal v2 by DrakenFX, some may stay on Verequies no splash (B20 US?)/NFound (B12 US?) bootstack/Oki.
Did anyone stayed with Nougat bootstack on Oreo/Pie and have an opinion about this mix?
Few minutes ago, I jumped to b12 bootstack, with TWRP 3.2.1-8 treble and no issues so far.

If I'm not mistaken, NFound's guide to installing AEX plans to Treblelize the phone by creating multiple partitions and formatting Data and Cache in f2fs file system instead of ext4.
I tried this solution about a year ago, following a guide, but the result, even after a couple of attempts, was not satisfactory in my case (long-term instability problems, sometimes abnormal battery consumption and not really working fluid).
At the end of the tests I had returned to the original system making myself lean towards waiting for new solutions.
I haven't tried AEX since, but I think I'll think about it since time and updates have gone by.
For Verequies, if I remember correctly, it should be included in one of the two EDL packages proposed in the Oki guide [GUIDE] [TREBLE] Axon 7 Custom OREO ROM installation for newbies - 2018.08.05.
I also tried this system but, for the results obtained, I preferred to use another solution.
Currently I have installed the RR 7.0.2 with the DrakenFX Universal Boostack, even if with another Modem compared to the one proposed by him for the A2017G (i.e. the A2017G-O-B04-MODEM of the original Oreo update of the ZTE because, here in Italy with Fastweb operator, it has better reception in LTE +).
Everything works beautifully, smoothly, without bugs or crashes (with formatting in ext4 because, in f2fs instead, crashes started already after 2 days without restarting the device) and the battery consumption is halved (two days between a charge and the other that, for a battery 2 years old and more, seems almost a miracle).
I also really like the enormous possibility of personalization that RR brings with it.
I will try to experiment an installation with the original Nougat boostack, as you suggested, to see the results and compare them.
For the TWRP to be used, do you suggest the NFound 3.2.1-8 or the TWRP_3.2.3-0L_v1.3-Axon7-Labs_Mod made in collaboration (personally I prefer the second one for the multi language besides other things)?

Have been on B12 Nougat bootstack and I don't recommend it.
- Offline charging worked when ROM was installed, without ROM, offline charging still worked but broke Oreo recovery.
- Fastboot worked - like above
- B04 modem worked
- Different BMS/battery behaviour on low health battery (72%) - SOT was same, no shutdowns on low battery, better battery percentage calculation.
(Could be placebo due to battery health and warmer weather)
- Colder phone on low tasks (placebo)
It isn't worth to stay on B12 bootstack.
Everything was fine, until played with him, then **** happened.
3.2.1-8, 3.2.3 with vendor support and 3.2.3 oki recovery doesn't work, if they are flashed on clean B12 - 3 blinks.
They only work, when flashed on DrakenFX bootstack and moving to B12 bootstack.
On first boot to recovery on DFX, they doesn't work, but on second boot they are working.
After flashing no splash message aboot on B12 it worked, until i tried fastboot - everything broke up, incl. system partitions.
