Hello forum, and have a lovely summer.
I have an ASUS zenfone 4 max (X015D) smartphone. It's a very powerful smartphone.. The only problem I have with this phone is that annoying thing with the zenUI downloading annoying random landscape pictures and mixing them with my desired photos from my own gallery. I keep unsubscribing from that chinese app and deleting these wallapapers but they keep downloading automatically making a mess with my lockscreen. I use the lockscreen with fingerprint + password. Any way to get rid of that?
Any help would be highlly appreciated.

Well i got my android phone a week ago (motorola defy) and ever since i've been finding out some lag and some minor problems with the apps running on it. The slide lock lagged but i installed a new one with widgets and it works just fine. Now i need some advices about other ones.
1. Youtube stock app for android 2.1: When the video loads and i move the bar within the place where the video had been loaded, but guess what, it gets stuck and does the loading again, and not like the windows browser's youtube...Is it suppose to be that way?
2. The keyboard is kind of hard to type with and i've been looking at some keyboard layouts but whenever i installed one, it said that it'll record whatever i'll type so in a way is it dangerous? because when i type my password on internet, does it get sent over to some website or is it totally safe?
3. Also I'm using launcher pro, it works fine but i was wondering if the stock launcher is working in the background as well which can cause lag along with launcher pro?
4.Also my stock browser laggs sometimes when it's zoomed in. So i would need some suggestions about another faster browser?
Thanks for any kind of help and advice

1. No idea...
2. Its safe, no worries, slideit is imo the best keyboard. But there are a lot of alternatives.
3. The stock launcher is in sleep I assume, with Home Switcher you can swop. When only 2 or 3 launchers installed your system doesnt lag. Or you can freeze it with titanium backup, not sure if it can do any harm when you freeze your stock launcher.
4. Try miren browser, it is really good.

thanks alot for your help, really appreciated it.
About the youtube stock app, what i basically mean is that, when a youtube video on computer on any browser...is loaded completely (red color strip). You can freely move the circle thing within the red color stripped which basically mean that that part is loaded can be be watched freely. BUT with my stock youtube application, that's not how it works. If i move the cursor a bit, it just hangs there and then i have to start the video from the beginning, loading and alll that. So i wanted to know if there's a good alternative youtube app with cache? so that once the video is loaded (when connected to internet), you can watch it even if you have no internet connection at that time...
Info: I'm running Android 4.1.1 (10.4.2.9) unlocked/rooted with a clean reinstall of the official ROM.
Hi everyone. I've had my tablet for less than a week now, and while I like it, I have some concerns.
It was an open box model (I only paid 295 usd for the 32gb version) and it acts kind of quirky. When I get a new mail notification through the gmail app, it shows the full contact picture on the left hand side of the popup, and a slice out of the middle of the contact picture on the right. It also won't show certain images in google reader (tried both the official app and gReader) until I change orientation or reload the feed.
Those two just sound like rom/app quirks, but what really worries me is that the tablet lags quite frequently (choppy framerate and delayed actions). The overall performance just doesn't seem up to par for the hardware. I'll have random 1-2 second lock ups (OS wide). Double taps on the keyboard from time to time (stock keyboard and thumb keyboard 4). Movies have frequent skips (default player).
Anyway, I'm just posting to see if it sounds like I need to return the tablet or does this just come with the territory? I apologize for my ignorance, but this is my first tablet and first experience with anything above Android 2.3.7

I believe that once Asus rolls out JB to all transformer tabs (dunno bout 101) they will work on the kernel, which is where the lockups and stuff come from

Update: I just went in and removed a lot of bloat. So far, the tablet is performing fantastically! I just can't wait to get CM9 or 10 on it. =D
Just curious...what all did you remove?

Sorry its taken me so long to respond. Been kinda busy. I'll list everything I removed, but be warned; Asus Customized Settings no longer works. Also, you have to get a notification (any notification will do!) before the menu you get by tapping your clock works after a reboot.
I removed: (.apk and .odex when applicable)

If anyone knows how to fix my Asus Customized Settings, I'd appreciate the info! If not, its a small price to pay for the performance boost. =P
Here's a topic that shows bloatware that's safe to remove, but I couldn't follow it because my phone won't display it properly, so I just had to go guerilla on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377
In general things are more or less the same since the JB update except for one extremely annoying thing with my live wallpaper.
I use the Samsung "PhotoWall" live wallpaper with a custom set of photos and EVERY time I return to the home screen, the wallpaper is blank/black for 3 to 7 seconds. When I look at the RAM available on the device it shows anywhere from 800mb used/700mb free to 1.1gb used/500mb free. So I really can't understand why with that much free memory that ANYTHING is getting kicked out of memory, especially the wallpaper.
I've tested this with both the stock launcher and NOVA (my default launcher) and see no difference in the behavior. Other live wallpapers seem to stay in memory or at least load fast enough that by the time the home screen displays so I don't notice the lag. I have also tried changing the background process limit from the default of "standard number of process" (what is the standard number anyway?) and this also seems to make no difference. I have also tried changing the NOVA "Aggressive Desktop" setting and this also doesn't seem to make a difference.
At the moment I am not rooted and would prefer to avoid rooting until the warranty lapses but will do so if someone has a guaranteed fix for this. I also really like how this wallpaper shows a running slideshow of a set of photos I have picked. I've tried other types where the pictures float across the screen and prefer the way Samsung has done it so I'd really like to fix this issue rather than have to change the live wallpaper.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Is it Jelly Bean or a change in the way this Live Wallpaper is coded? Is there a solution?
Hi,
Yesterday i installed go locker pro via appdroid, but i didn't like it so i deleted the app.
Since then, i'm getting ads on random moments: fullscreen ads after random unlocks, ads on the bottom on random apps.
Is there any way to get rid of them without deleting everything on my phone?
1 picture attached.
Thx in advance,
RobinBE.
How are other people dealing with the app icons that are introduced when updating the camera effects? Just leaving them in the app drawer? It's irritating having useless AR effect, AR fun, Background defocus etc icons in my apps folder.
I considered disabling the default camera and all these effects to get rid of them and using a more streamlined camera, but there's no way to change the default camera that gets launched with the physical button and the shortcut on the home page. Anyone got a (non rooted) workaround for that?
Thanks all! This is the last annoyance I have with the phone really. Any advice would be appreciated.

I took them out/disabled, as well. I also wanted a more slim camera app. Some are too gimmicky anyway lol. Id take out 4K as well since it overheats anyway with it but no option to remove. I disabled AR effects and AR Fun as well. The Info tool is kind of useful, detects books etc well.
Would have been nice if you could hide apps like in LG and HTC phones.
