So I'm sitting in university and just figured this out and it's still pretty laggy, but you should give it a try!
I'm using a ZenFone 5 with Android Lollipop and ZenUI. First I downloaded the APK file of Pokémon GO version 0.29.2 from apkmania.
I installed it and when trying to open the game, it got stuck on a black screen right after the niantic logo.
So here's the trick to make it work:
1) Launch Pokémon GO
2) Tap the "recent apps" key (the one on the bottom right)
3) Pin the Pokémon GO window (your GPS should be already enabled)
4) Pokémon GO will start
On my device it started pretty buggy but after a few restarts out finally worked! When not pinning the window it didn't track my GPS correctly (it said GPS not found) and I couldn't touch any of the starter pokemon.
I hope that I could help anyone out there, I tried my best. If there are still any questions, just leave a comment, I'll answer asap.

| Recent apps, do you see the pin next to the X? Touch it! |

| What it looks like without pinned window Cannot tap any pokemon |
