Need help building my custom rom for Zenfone 5 Lollipop - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
this is my first thread here...
I wanted to create my own personal custom rom for Zenfone 5.
I took several custom roms & stock rom based on Lollipop 5.0.x, and added/deleted/updated many apps to my liking.
I also added a new bootanimation.
All this took was only modifying the rom zip file.
After flashing my rom, I manually install xposed modules (example: blurred system UI etc), then enable them in xposed installer, set custom blur effect on status bar and recent apps.
Apply some general settings (example: settings dial pad tone = off, Vibrate on touch = off, Font size = small, brightness level = 0, auto brightness = off)
install nova launcer, then restore it's theme that I made on previous setup.
But I see other modder/developer, they "integrate" all these things on their roms.
(example: BIG OS for zenfone 5 has blurred system ui, all setup already done with its settings accesible by phone's setting app) (no other app available in launcher)
I tried searching how I can add xposed module on my rom, or simply add that particular function in the rom itself, but couldn't find any.
Also I want to know how to set a predefined settings for system and user apps. So that I won't have to customize each and everything after flashing my rom.
This would also eliminate the process of manually installing xposed modules, and setting up everything manually.
Please help me. Point me in right direction so that I can make my personal rom a bit better.

DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING SAMI OS:
To Download my ROM, please visit its webpage and while it downloads you can spend your time reading all the instructions and tips that are mentioned in this thread. After the Download completes, you can start reading the instructions given below and please read all the instructions carefully to successfully install Sami OS...
Prerequisites:
A fully functional GT- i9070 or i9070P of course
Your phone must be having enough Battery charge (30% or more - just to be safe)
Your External SD Card must be having enough Storage capacity
Your phone must be running any of Samsung's Jellybean (4.1.2) firmware. If you're running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread, then please upgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2 first! Or if you're running Android 4.2 or above then please downgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2, then you'll be able to install my ROM.
Your phone must be Rooted
Your phone must be running a custom kernel which has either TWRP or ClockworkMod recovery installed (Recommended Recovery: TWRP)
(Optional) You must have Odin and Samsung's USB Drivers Installed on your PC. You must also have a USB cable and a copy of Samsung's Jellybean firmware; just in case you fail to install Sami OS and end up with having no OS on your phone
(Optional but Recommended) You must backup all your Apps, Games, App data, Memos, Messages, Call logs, etc. to your External SD Card. But do note that I will not be held responsible if you lose all your files, apps and all your data since installing any ROM will require deletion of user data for preventing common installation errors.
Installation of Sami OS:
- Download my ROM and put it on your External SD Card (make sure it has sufficient space to store my ROM in there)
- Reboot to Recovery. To do that, turn off your phone and Press and hold Volume Up, Home and the Power button and release it when you see the Samsung Logo after a short vibration...
For people with TWRP Recovery:
- Go to Settings and Disable (un-check) Zip Signature Verification
- Then go to Mount and check (mount) System
- Then go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe and check System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Then swipe to wipe/erase them. As stated above, doing all these will erase pretty much everything on your phone so make sure you backed up everything first
- Then go back and select Install, switch to external_sd card and select "Sami_OS_For_GT-I9070.zip"
- Then swipe to flash it and the rest of the Installation should be automated, so wait for a while for the installation to finish
- After the Installation is over, it should show a "Successful" message in Blue text. Now all you have to do is press on Reboot to do Reboot to System!​
For people with CWM Recovery:
- Go to Wipe data/factory reset and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Wipe cache partition and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Advanced, then select wipe dalvik cache and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Mounts and Storage and mount your system
- Then on the same menu, select Format /system, /cache, /data and /preload folders one by one
- Now go back to Main menu and select Install zip from sdcard
- Then toggle signature verification to DISABLE it
- Then on the same menu, select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Now search for "Sami_OS_For_GT-I9070.zip" and select to install it... the rest of the Installation will be automated, so wait for a while for it to finish
- After that's done you can now go back to main menu and choose "reboot system now" to Reboot your phone. And that's it!​
- Your phone should now reboot and it will be "stuck" on that "awesome" Boot Animation for a while; so don't worry.. it happens every time you install any Custom ROM - so there's nothing to worry about. Just wait for about 3 to 5 minutes.. BUT if your phone is experiencing a bootloop (i.e taking way too much time) then reboot to recovery and wipe your cache, dalvik cache and data again. If that too doesn't fix it then please refer "If Sami OS didn't successfully get installed" section below....
- If everything goes OK then you will see Sami OS' final installation wizard which requires you to setup your user language, your Wi-Fi, your Google Account, etc...
If you constantly keep getting Force Close errors on the Setup Screen, then do this:
Even though I never experienced this after flashing my ROM, this is what you should do if you have this problem:
- Reboot to Recovery
- And Fix Permission (TWRP: Advanced > Fix Permissions.... CWM: Advanced Menu > Select Fix Permissions)
If that did not work then here's what shut_down did to fix this issue:
- Reboot to Recovery
- Perform a Factory Reset and then Wipe Cache (Refer the instructions above.. you're just basically doing the same thing)​
If Sami OS didn't successfully get installed:
If things go horribly wrong then...
- DON'T PANIC
- Reboot to Recovery and wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache AND/OR perform a Factory Reset
- If that did not work then make sure that the zip you downloaded is "complete" and not "corrupted" and install again
If none of the above helps then follow the instructions below:
- Reboot to Recovery and wipe your entire System (i.e Everything!)
- Then reboot to Download Mode (to do that, turn off your phone and Press and hold Volume Down, Home and the Power button and release it when you see a picture of an Android logo after a short vibration...)
- Press volume up to continue and connect your phone with your PC using the USB Cable
- Open Odin and wait for it to recognize your phone
- Then click on PDA and choose your stock firmware
- After it verifies the .md5 checksum; click on Start without checking any other check-boxes or anything else
- It should then install Samsung's 4.1.2 firmware​
And that's pretty much it! So Congratulations, you just installed Sami OS on your phone! So now there's only one last crucial step remaining.. And that is to take pride and update your Signature and click on the Thanks Button. I hope that you will all enjoy using it...

Bugs:
Depending on their severity, these bugs will either be Ignored or Fixed via Add-Ons/Bug-fixes or ROM updates...
Gallery app can't set custom lock screen wallpapers (sorry, this cannot be fixed atm)
Polaris Office 5 doesn't work at all. It force closes probably due to missing or conflicting library files (download Polaris Office 4 from the Add-Ons section below)
Status Bar shows "3G" icon no matter what kind of data network the user is using (fixed in 1.1 Update)
No Audio @ Maximum Volume.. in SOS 1.1 (fixed in 1.2 Update)
The "Wake up in lock screen" option in lock screen settings doesn't work (fixed in 1.2 Update)
The default music player, Play Music+ can be laggy and slow sometimes; this is because its a heavy modification of an earlier version of Google Play Music app (fixed in 1.2 Update)
The Digital Clock widget doesn't load.. Maybe because of the differences in version of Android or due to missing framework or library files (fixed in 1.3 Update)
MiXplorer - the default file explorer in Sami OS 1.2 has a bug. It will force close (almost) every time you browse through your Root partition. (fixed in 1.3 Update)
The default messaging app in Sami OS 1.2 cannot receive any messages. (fixed in 1.3 Update)
The size and position of "Minute" in the default clock app in Sami OS 1. 2 is wrong. (fixed in 1.3 Update)

Add-Ons:
Below are a list of add-ons that have been tested and is completely compatible with Sami OS:

NOTE: This is a flashable zip! So just Download the zip and flash it via TWRP or CWM Recovery!

FAQs, Tips and Notes, My Opinion on my ROM, Credits and Acknowledgements
Should I install/update in a chronological order?
Yes. This means that you should install Sami OS 1.0 first (if you haven't already) and then reboot to system. Use your phone for a while and setup everything. Once all that is done, reboot to recovery and start installing the updates one by one (in a chronological order) without rebooting to system.
Is updating from 1.x to 1.z possible?
Yes, it is possible. But its recommended that you install 1.y first.. So that you won't miss out from any new features or fixes that were introduced in the 1.y update... I know that this will become a little tedious, but its the only way for me to keep the size of the updates smaller - so that it can be uploaded and downloaded much quickly. Detailed instructions on how to update to my ROM's latest version is available. Just look for it on the Second post of this thread.
Flashing so many zip files is a little tedious. Why not merge all the updates into one zip file?
Even though I've considered about doing this ever since I released the 1.1 Update, there are a lot of some reasons why I'm not doing this. You can download the ROM and all its updates and mods on your PC , extract them to a single folder and then manually merge/combine all of them. Once that's done, select the 3 folders (META-INF, system and vrtheme) and use any file archiving software (like 7-zip or WinRAR) to make a zip file out of it. Let me know if you bump into any problems.
Can I flash xyz performance/battery mods or scripts while I'm using your ROM on my phone?
No. My ROM already has a lot of scripts and various other tweaks and mods. So adding more will either have no effect or make things worse (slower performance, boot loop, high battery drain, etc.). So please ask me first before installing anything like this and I'll try to find out if it'll work on my ROM without any issues or not.
Tips & Notes:
Below are some tips and notes which I'm sharing from my experience:
Please don't use your phone after restarting or turning it on for at least a minute.. Its going to lag.. This is probably because the system is still busy loading all its services, files, apks, scripts and because the media server will be running in background.
You can use Greenify to disable most system apps like Google Play Services to get lower battery consumption (while phone is idle). Additionally, you can also use CoCore E 8.2 Kernel if you prefer better battery life over performance
The best way to clear your phone's RAM is by doing a Quick (Hot) Reboot instead of Normal Reboot.. This is because Hot Reboot just restarts the OS; not the entire device.. Thus its faster than a Normal Reboot and also doesn't drain your battery while it reboots
You need to disable MMS to save yourself from the recently discovered Stagefright security vulnerability by using a small app. Look for "Samsung_KNOX_and_ZHA_ap_MMSCtrl" under the Add-Ons section
If for some reason your phone's system partition becomes read-only then type this into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
Before installing any mods or scripts please make sure that they are compatible with Sami OS! Because I added a lot of tweaks too; so my tweaks may interfere with the tweaks you install!
You can use apps like SDMaid Pro to maintain your phone's optimal performance by clearing cache, (old) logs, bulk of unneeded files and disabling auto-starting of certain apps on Boot
The safety_level is changed from 3 to 1 in libsqlite.so. So, there is a small risk of data corruption here. This is because no fsync is done before databases are committed into disk and hence it'll be faster but at the slight risk of corruption. This could include launcher widgets going missing or SMS messages going missing or corrupted etc.. But do note that this is the default behavior in JB 4.3, KK 4.4 and above. You can revert back to the older libsqlite.so file if you want to avoid any risk of data corruption.
If for some reason adb is no longer working then add this line below to your build.prop and then give it another try:
Code:
persist.service.adb.enable=1
After updating or installing my ROM, if you cannot see your accounts (e.g- Google, Yahoo, WhatsApp, etc.) under Accounts in Settings (app), then all you need to do is log out and sign back in. You should now see them now
Please disable Keytones, Touch Sounds, Screen lock sound and Haptic Feedback under Sound menu (in Settings).. Use only if required to do so; because they all contribute in consuming your battery.. The same thing goes for Motion options as well..
Checkout this simple trick to change the Status Bar's gradient orientation
For switching to Material theme on your Keyboard, go to Settings > Language and Input > Google Keyboard Settings > Advanced Settings and change the Color scheme to "Material"
For my own benefit, I chose not to Re-odex my ROM. But if you want to Re-Odex my ROM on your phone then you can use Universal Odex Script or anything similar to do it. Because I did not try it yet, please tell me if you did it and succeeded.
If you're into pimping, tweaking and modding your phone, then you should definitely checkout Xposed (if you haven't already). It drastically simplifies this process by taking away the need for flashing zip files or modifying any apk or jar files!
Checkout XMultiWindow. It's functionality is quite similar to Samsung's MultiWindow functionality - but this is way better in my opinion
Checkout XBlast Tools. It's more or less like an All-in-One Tweak Box. You can change a lot of stuff in your phone on the go without modifying any APK files!
If you don't want to use CRT Off animation then please uncheck it from Settings > Display (obviously ) and then using MiXplorer (or any browser with Root access), go to system > etc > init.d folder and open 03_crt_net.
Look for the lines containing "fbdelay" and "fbdelay_ms" and delete or comment them out. Save the file, set the proper file permission and restart for it to take effect. This should remove the "delay" in powering your screen off..
You can disable Touchboost feature to save some more battery.
Using MiXplorer (or any browser with Root access), go to system > etc > init.d folder and open 02_kernel. Look for
"echo on > /sys/kernel/mxt224e/touchboost" and "echo 500 > /sys/kernel/mxt224e/touchboost_delay" and delete or comment them out. Save the file, set the proper file permission and restart for it to take effect
If for some reason you want to have a persistent notification of USB debugging (enabled) then add this line below to your build.prop:
Code:
persist.adb.notify=1
Right now, the best kernels to use with Sami OS are CoCore E 8.2, 10.0 and Refresh R09 (link to thread)
If you're wondering why this thread is full of textual information, its because I want to this thread as Noob Friendly as possible! And yes, I typed each and every words - so yeah, I think I deserve a thanks for that too.
More will be added soon to this list very soon!
My Opinion on my ROM:
I've been running the "pre-release" and the "final" version Sami OS for quite some time now.. And yes, my phone is super smooth with the combo of Sami OS and CoCore E r09 BUT I did notice some occasional hiccups and lags on my ROM too! I'm sure that a very few developers will tell bad about his/her ROM, but I'm just like you - I always want the best in my phone and so I am being honest with you.. Nothing is perfect in this world, and my ROM is certainly not an exception.. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use it.. Because it indeed is super smooth most of the time!!!
One more thing.. my ROM still isn't completely optimized for Aggressive gaming, multi-tasking and battery conservation yet but I hope that it will get better along with the future updates it'll be getting..

[Q] Foxhound 3.1 - lockscreen, dpi and reboot menu

Hello every one,
i think i found the perfect ROM for myself but i'm not able to use properly Wanam Exposed.
I'm trying to customize 3 thing but even if i install and activate the relative framework, after reboot they didn't work.
I would like to have, as i wrote on the title:
- AOSP lockscreen instead of touchwiz one
- reboot menu instead of no menu
- change the DPI of Dash Clock to see more in a "smaller" widget
Can someone help me please?
Thank you.

[Q] Custom Rom and Profiles...

Hi everyone,
Whatever the custom rom I install, I can't put a second profile without having a force closed of "Configuration assistant" (or Wizard, forgive my english).
I did the following :
- back to stock, KK 5.1 = a second profile, limited or not, works
- root
- install rom (I tried so far DU and XenonHD, both last build)
- install Gapps (Banks)
- second profile, limited or not has this error of Configuration Assistant
Anyway, I can go in Settings because the notification bar is still active.
So I thought it was a Launcher trouble : I installed Nova Launcher, but nop...
If by any chance you have a clue
Thanks

[MOD] Add Extra Keys To Your Nav Bar In Android O style

This should be in the development section but I don't have the required amount of posts so I put it here, no worries...
Disclaimer
Your phone your responsability!!!
Please make sure you read everything, especially the "IMPORTANT" chapter, I won't reply to question(s) whose answer(s) is/are here!!!
I made a SystemUI navigation bar mod for me and I thought that some people may like it so I share it here with you guys.
It enables you to add extra keys (left/right/up/down arrows for text correction or navigation on pages, volume up/down, music panel) directly from the navbar tuner settings.
I have seen on XDA news that you can achieve the same result by editing the settings_secure file but it's not very practical because every time you have to reboot before the new key appears.
REQUIREMENTS
A Nexus 6 (obviously):cyclops:
TWRP
Android Nougat 7.0
IT WON'T WORK ON 7.1!!!
FOR 7.1 SEE BELOW.
IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT SKIP!!!
I made this mod for my ROM that I built from source based on Pure Nexus 7.0, so I can't guarantee that it'll work on a different ROM brand.
If you come from another ROM than Pure Nexus feel free to try and report here, I made a rescue zip to get you back to your original configuration in case it doesn't work so you don't need to worry.
But back up anyway, just in case.
Now we may a problem, that is application signature.
As said above I'm on a home built ROM, and I have signed it with my signature, signature that is unique to my ROM and that will prevent installations on a different ROM.
What I did to have it to work for you guys is that I signed the apps that I put here with the Pure Nexus 7.0 original signature, that should be OK if you are on Pure Nexus 7.0.
If you are on a different ROM, or if you are on Pure Nexus 7.0 but for some reasons it doesn't work, you'll have to do as follows:
- extract your SystemUI.apk in /system/priv-app and put it on your internal storage or computer,
- open it with 7zip or something similar,
- inside you'll see a META-INF folder and AndroidMAnifest.xml, extract them,
- open my modded SystemUI,
- delete the META-INF folder and AndroidMAnifest.xml inside of it and replace them with the ones you extracted from your SystemUI,
- close everything,
- zipalign my modded SystemUI (optional but better for optimization, zipaligning has been lost since the signature has been replaced),
- now my SystemUI has your signature so you can flash the zip.
If it still doesn't work then you're out of luck, to have it to work would mean to have your ROM's source and do the edits there but sorry, I won't do it because it's too much work (downloading 20 GBs of data for the source, compiling a whole ROM etc...).
In that case upload your SystemUI.apk and your framework-res.apk here and I'll try to do it, but no guarantees...
7.1
Why am I not on 7.1?
I tried it but there wasn't any interesting new features for me so there was no point to switch to it and go again through the lenghty process of downloading the source, compiling it, editing/theming/etc-ing all the apps, no, I sticked to my good old 7.0.
INSTALLATION
There are 3 zips.
1 - The green theme is the one I use on my phone but it may look weird on yours since the green theming needs other apps to be complete. Give it a try though, it looks nice to my opinion!
Tell me if you want the full green theme, I'll upload here the other files.
2 - The stock theme is the regular Nougat white theme.
3 - A rescue zip to get back to your original SystemUI in case something goes wrong.
Backup your ROM (probably not needed, but just in case)
Choose which flashable zip you want, put it on your phone, flash it in recovery, reboot.
You may have to resize the keys if you want to have many of them on the nav bar, as for me I have 9, check the below screenshot to see what's the ideal size to have all of them to fit.
OTHER KEYS
If you want to try other keys do as follows:
- find the key code number for key you want to add, here are some examples (not tested so not sure they all work):
CALL = 5
ENDCALL = 6
DPAD_CENTER = 23
CAMERA = 27
* Used to launch a browser application:
EXPLORER = 64
* Used to launch a mail application:
ENVELOPE = 65
NOTIFICATION = 83
SEARCH
MEDIA_REWIND = 89
MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD = 90
MUTE = 91
PAGE_UP = 92
PAGE_DOWN = 93
MEDIA_RECORD = 130
CONTACTS = 207
CALENDAR = 208
MUSIC = 209
CALCULATOR = 210
CUT = 277
COPY = 278
PASTE = 279
- open settings_secure (it's in /data/system/users/0),
- edit the sysui_nav_bar field, here's an example if you want to add a camera icon:
key(27:file:///storage/emulated/0/camera.png)
27 is the key code for the camera, camera.png is a camera icon that you'll have to put on your internal storage,
- reboot,
- please report here if it works or not.
The new keys can be used in conjunction with tasker (see XDA news for the related tutorials) to only appear when certain apps are opened but if you want I can add them to the list of available keys in the nav bar tuner, let me know.
TO DO (NO ETA)
I'd like to add a custom key to launch the applications drawer but I didn't look into it yet and I don't know if I'll manage to do it anytime soon, I'm pretty busy at the moment.
That's all, enjoy!!!:good:

reserved, in case...
you can do the same with last stock 7.1.1 firmware without having to root, or install twrp or unlock the bootloader or whatever...
you just have yo use this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
it needs a special permission but changes take effect immediately, no need to reboot
my settings for exemple :
left button switches off the screen and right button launches Google app.
Yeah well you know, there are different kind of people on this forum.
Some of them don't want to bother and understand how things work so they rely on apps to do customizations, theming etc. (and sometimes complain that their phone becomes unresponsive, lags and stuff, yep, too many apps), you seem to be in that category.
Other people don't understand how things work but they are willy to learn and they may be interested by this mod because they will learn something in the process. It's for them that I took the time to make the zips, register on XDA, write the OP and upload the files, and that I offered to try to make it work on 7.1.
That said today I added the assist key in the nav bar, but since nobody seems to be interested I won't waste time to upload the new apps here.
Farewell guys!!!!
take it easy man !
I like to know how things work, I understand what I'm doing and I'm not complaining about anything !
My Nexus 6 runs like a charm.
I wasn't saying that your post isn't interesting but just giving the information that there's a simplest way to personalise nav bar that works with stock 7.1.1 firmware.
