Hi there
I have been reading these forums for some time and have finally created my own cooked ROM for these MT6573 / MTK6573 based Chinese Androids that I wanted to share since there doesn't seem to be any here.
This ROM was created from a stock system ROM off a Hero H7300 which I believe should work on all HD7 or T9299 clones.
The ID for the base ROM is 10HX2P.H7300.111125.AD2_3_4_V1.WVGAC_EN.COM_V01_3G.
I don't like to customise things too much (since everyone has their own preferences) so I have just done most of the basics.
NOTE: Only ROMs v1 through v4 are based on the above 2.3.4 ROM.
v5 is based off a newer 2.3.5 ROM provided and modified by Bruno Martin.
Here is a list of what I have done to this ROM:

GPS Region Change
If you are in a different region (most probably are ) you can go to this thread to download a gps.conf for your area:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
Dowload the file you need and then replace it under /system/etc/gps.conf
Having the correct file here makes a huge improvement in the speed of GPS fixes.
ROM v9 Camera Button Fix
In ROM v9 I fixed the camera button to open to camera instead of the phone interface.... Or so I thought.
Unfortunately I missed a file that was overriding the change.
To set the camera button back to camera functionality perform the following steps.
Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/Camera/mt6573-kpd.kl
You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.bak
adb push mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl
You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.
Be aware that the camera functionality is activated by a long press of the camera button.
Reversed BACK and MENU buttons
If you have a phone where the BACK and MENU buttons operate around the wrong way then follow these instructions to switch them around.
Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/qwerty.kl
You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.bak
adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.
Go Launcher and Go Locker
I have installed these two apps since they are my favourite ones and are very customisable and skinnable.
They are installed on the data folder so feel free to replace them with your own preferred launcher/locker.
Just remember not to move the launcher or locker themes to your SD card as they may not work properly after reboot. (especially locker themes)
Build.prop Settings
Currently these are the custom settings I have added to the build.prop
Feel free to alter these yourself to how you prefer by editing /system/build.prop file.
Code:
# fix some app problems
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
#enable hardware acceleration
debug.sf.hw=1
#increase dalvik cache
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m
#Saving jpg at 100% quality

Hero H7300 (HD7/T9299) Cooked ROM by Bunta v9
Installation Guide
DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER WITH THESE PHONES AS IT IS INCOMPATIBLE
1) Download my ROM rename it to update.zip and copy it on to your sdcard under /mnt/sdcard/update.zip
2) Next you will need to install a custom recovery partition to be able to install custom ROMs.
Bruno Martins has provided an excellent guide for flashing these phones which you can follow here:
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html
He also has his own Custom Recovery Image and ROMs he has developed with custom frameworks you can download from here:
http://www.eten-users.eu/index.php?/topic/21447-hd7-mt6573-support-thread/
Download the recovery image and then follow his flashing tutorial to install that to your phone.
3) Once you have the recovery image installed reboot your phone into recovery mode by holding down the volume up + power key to turn the phone on.
This will then boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
4) First thing you want to do here is to go into backup and restore and create a backup of your phone that you can restore back to if you don't like my ROM.
5) Once you have a backup you can follow this guide to install the custom ROM.
6) After you install the ROM and restart your phone don't be scared if it sits on a black screen or the boot animation for some time as it's just rebuilding the dalvik cache.
This should take about 5-10 mins on first boot.
(I got nervous my ROM didn't work the first time I booted it )
7) [optional] Update your gps.conf for your local region using the instructions above.
8) [optional] If using ROM v6 or later you can increase your internal memory size by moving the data partition to an ext2 partition on your memory card. This can be done by following these instructions.

You need to install a custom recovery partition to flash these phones successfully.
I have added installation details in the first post along with a link to download a custom recovery partition.
I've also updated my ROM with some new apps so you may want to download again.
Hi there,
Thanks for the post and sharing what you have done.
I've just recently got myself a Chinese Star A3 Android phone which uses the MTK6573 chipset.
Since I've had it I've had to learn a few things... e.g. Rooting phone, removing unwanted Chinese Apps with Titanium Backup, sourcing and installing recovery and general tinkering.
I'm curious to try your ROM however I'm reasonably happy with my current setup (also using GO Launcher) except for one thing; the in-built contacts/dialer/call log application and the way it forces the hyphens in the contact numbers.
I've spent hours trawling websites for a fix but can't see a solution.
Some suggest prefixing country codes to your numbers, changing the locale to UK via an App such as MoreLocale 2, I've even bought the Unhyphenizer app with no luck.
My Google contacts have no hyphens or spaces in the contact numbers however when viewed on the phone they appear as +64 21-111-1111 (mobile) or +64 3-111-1111 (landline).
The issue also affects the call log with outgoing calls displaying name of contact and number with hyphens but incoming calls are displayed differently. E.g. +64 3-111-1111 appears as 31111111 therefore is not matched with any contact.
I've isolated the issue to the actual contacts application because if I install GO Contacts the numbers appear exactly as in Google in both the contacts and call log areas. Go SMS also shows contacts numbers correctly. This isn't a great solution though as I don't particularly like the GO Contacts app.
Does your ROM manifest the same issue? Any ideas how to get around this or alter the existing contacts app to show number without formatting/hyphens?
Thanks in advance
My contacts also show with hyphens.
Most of them do not have country code however so are just 021-123-4567 but the ones with country codes are shown as you say.
I suspect if this issue is gone with GO Contacts then the way they are displayed may be written into the app and unchangeable. Unless there is some system file that sets a configuration for it that may be altered.
I can have a look through the system files in my ROM build to see if something matches. Possibly even editing the Contacts apk directly might be of use... I will have a look around...
Thanks for the reply.
Like you say, perhaps their is a configuration file that can be altered as a large number of people in forums report the issue goes away when they change their locale to UK. Sadly, it makes no difference on my phone.
I look forward to hearing what you find.
Cheers
Hi there, yes I have only downloaded the one 'paid for' app (Unhyphenizer Pro) from the Andoid Market and that worked fine.
All the others I've downloaded have been free apps.
Thanks

The ROM that bunta shared probably has the Market problem... that's why he added Black Market app (Blackmart).
If you have one MT6573 based HD7 Pro, you can visit my support thread. I have released the ROM with Market problem fixed.

I honestly don't know if that bug exists or not as I don't have any paid apps to try it with.
If you try it and find out please let me know if it works or not.

I set the locale to GB in the build.prop on my ROM so should be using UK locale by default I think and it still shows with hyphens. Not sure if changing that setting in the build.prop gives the same effect as when they set it in their settings though.
One other note, I think I corrupted the apns-conf on my v2 ROM as my data connection did not work with that version. Its working fine in my v1 ROM but I don't know what the multiupload download link is for that one
I will fix that up and make a v3 ROM soon.
Let me know if 3G data is working or not on v2 if you try it.
Still tinkering at the moment. Don't want to swap one problem for another
One thing I found that is worth mentioning is that one of my SIM's is Vodafone the other 2Degrees.
When I called the 2Degrees SIM the leading zero is missing... if I call the Vodafone number the leading zero appears when calling from the same landline. Doesn't explain the hyphens but perhaps some of the number handling is the carrier?
WOW Great !
Thanks man !
I've fixed the problem with the apns-conf.xml file now and mobile data is working fine again.
V3 is in the first post
Thank you for your effort.
However, I tried to my MTK6573 machine and found a funny thing:
My machine has 3 buttons
Home works
Menu has no function
Back becomes "Menu"
Any help for me?
Beside of this problem, I tried few minutes and I think it is much better then the ROM I am using. Just it causes trouble for me if no "Back" button

That is because his phone is H7300 which seems to be different than Tops HD7 3G or HD7 Pro. Visit my support thread and you'll find the correct ROM for your phone.

Yeah, which you haven't done to get the password... and to rip my ideas and create your custom ROMs.
Can you explain me why you have added TeslaLED.CM7.Receiver into your ROM? You don't even know what is the purpose of that app...
I just added it as a part of TeslaLED.
I don't really need it of course since I haven't configured any system apps to toggle the flashlight directly from TeslaLED but it can be uninstalled by anyone.
(In fact it's not really too useful in my ROM anyway so I will remove it from future versions. People can install their own favourite flashlight apps as they want.)
Stop being a baby because someone else has made their own ROM.

Thank you for your information.
I am using a phone called ChangJiang HD7 or THL-S2 - I want to provide a product link but is prevented here, but you may search "THL-S2" via google.
(PS: It is called HD7 too but it should not the one you mean, but very similar)
I tried your ROM (V1) on my phone. Basically it works, just the menu button and the back button are swapped
However, for me it is "overcooked" and the response is not good as bunta's one. I may consider "cook" mine.

framework does not seems to work with new Vending.apk app..
i tested it fine with old vending apk, and at last moment installed new Vending apk and now it crashes.
Cool, wait until you upload a revised version.
Hi Dexter,
Do yu think it's possible to use TitaniumBackup Backup(Program and system) from 1.2 to réinstall program and system on these 0.3?
Thanks
Stéph.
Ive installed the "crashing" version...
now I wait for the new release...
but...
it's possible to have some some more languages (i.e. Italian )
Ive force close with contact app...maybe a new market related issue...

apps yes, but generic settings for the specific edition no..
as this has other framework + different launcher, some settings differ.
but try and find out, you probably find some apps crashing, but then try uninstalling and reinstall.. never tried it.

wallpaper issue?
thx!
First experience (except for my small marketapp problem)
is , that it download/install faster... and lagging seems less here?
Of course post experience compared to my Toshiba edition, so we know if its worth using or just maybe, the fact that our Toshiba edition is actually is quite good..
Seriously I love it, it's running perfectly great:
-notification bar and setting are just awesome..
-wifi working great for me
-memory usage is good
-battery and standby I'll check tomorrow after night testing
-SDCard works great even with toshiba file manager (used titanium backup to install back my apps)
-new home also great but less responsive
-launcherpro or adw.launcher both works great but "setting" doesn't work since it's using new setting app
-Browser and mail client looks great
Still some bugs:
-No 360° rotation - Sorry 360° works great but doesn't work with home default launcher
-Only english (us & uk), more local 2 don't change a lot
-Taskmanager doesn't work
well this is my feedback after few minutes testing
again Dexter a great work, thanks
PS/ Happy Holidays for all

you must be doing something wrong, i got like 15 languages selectable, and even more, when i type my national code as explained in readme.txt .
so check again.. many lang's works fine on this one, just using morelocale2
Hi all,
thanks for this new mod Dexter, but I've some questions :
- With morelocale2, I've change the langage to french, but I've always a QWERTY keyboard, any idea ?
- The mail app don't sync my email with hotmail in exchange, do you know why ?
I like this mod, you're doing a very good work, all my respect
Cheers

Hi everyone!
Since most of us are not satisfied with recent CUBE's U9GT2 Android 4.0 build,(s) I/we created mods based on U9GT2 official builds and in the process also fixed some faults
Mods by wackym:

- fixed RW permissions for external SD, usb flash
- added permissions to enable more market apps (thanks Reichi!)

Difference from V2 released on 2012-02-20:
- USB Mass Storage is working!
- you can now move apps to internal flash space (internal "SD")
- added videochat libraries (might fix videochat issues)
- fixed RW permissions for external SD, usb flash
- added permissions to enable more market apps (thanks Reichi!)
- updated ICS apps
- newer base files from CUBE
Notes, bugs:
If you're still running Android 2.3 and thinking about switching to latest (ICS) version then you should be aware of these (major) changes/bugs cube introduced in ICS:
- application screen size is reduced - bottom status bar is visible most of the time (but also hides in ICS aware apps)
- you need to disable USB debug mode to be able to access filesystem on U9GT2
-MTP/PTP is slow and unstable -> but now mass storage is back!
- Bluetooth still doesn't work (unchecked for 1.08)
- Video chat doesn't work (unchecked for 1.08)
Enjoy!

Short demo of CUBE's official 4.0.3 version:
Thank you so much
This is based on the leaked (beta) V1.05, right?
You're welcome.
This mod is based on version 1.05 released 2011.12.29. I know there were also two leaked betas before it (12/12 and 12/22) but I do not know if this one is also a beta as download from official 51cube.com site is still unavailable...
Thanks for the info

I believe the official V1.05 was never available, so I am GUESSING this one is also "just" a beta version
Let's hope Cube will make their download available soon, maybe we'll see some differences in the fw?
Anyway, GREAT JOB, thank you so much for your work
Thx will try it out right away
Hi,
really great work - many thanks for this! Could you please post a step-by-step guide explaining what you have done to get this image rooted? Linux Tools for doing this are in place. Is it just enough to include the su binary into the image?

I used RK29xxImageTools kindly provided by wendal: www[dot]slatedroid[dot]com/topic/19808-rk29xx-imagetools-v21/ (sorry about the bad url - still few posts short to write proper urls...forum rules)
Steps:
1. Downloaded U9GT2 v4.0.3 20111229.img, gapps-ics-20111125-2 (google apps for ICS from cyanogenmod), Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed, file expert apk
2. Unpacked img with rk image tools
3. Started virtual machine with ubuntu, mounted system.img as EXT3 loop device
4. Removed su from /xbin
5. Removed angry birds etc. from /app, also removed all libs from those apks in /lib folder. I did this to gain necessary space for google apps without resizing the actual img.
6. Added/replaced google apps apks
7. Removed provision.apk which conflicted with SetupWizzard
8. Added Superuser.apk to /app
9. Copied proper su to /bin; added proper file permissions (rws-rx-rx) - this is very important for root to work.
10. Edited /build.prop: added "ro.config.hw_hasbootsound=false" to silence the boot sound (which was terribly annoying me ) and changed wpa supplicant scan interval from 15 to 180s (this probably saves some battery but annoys people with bad signals...but you can change the scan interval "post mortem" with ROM Toolbox...see "build.prop tweaks").
10. unmounted system.img
11. Used "pack" option in rkimagetools
I think this covers it all...
Hello,
Thank you for this great job, I've updated my U9GT2 with your firmware, it works well ! that's really great from you, thank you for that.
I have two questions thought :
- I tried to install Google Maps and Google Docs with the apk, but I have then some conflicts with my google accounts... I cannot use the apps.
Do you think it will work properly if I create my own system image with Maps and Docs apk included ?
- I found your scripts on your other topics, I will test it : I'm currently installing Ubuntu but can you tell me which file I have to modify so as to change the tablet name, "CUBE U9GT2" ?
Thank you very much ! Have a nice day

If it doesn't work now, putting those files to system.img won't change it... Which Maps and Docs apks did you use? They need to be ICS version... Try google maps from gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip pack (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228

To change the name you need to edit build.prop file. But be warned! It is very easy to brick your device...so read extensively about android modding before testing the mod on your device (or anyone else's)...
Good luck!

The 4.0.3 firmware is GREAT except that Adobe Flash Player does not seem to work with Opera Mobile. However, Flash does load really slowly in the stock browser though and the image quality is really bad.
To get Opera Mobile working with Flash, I tried removing Flash and Opera Mobile, then installing Flash then Opera Mobile from Android Market, but nothing works. Any ideas?
I also notice that adhoc WiFi is not supported.
Can anyone configure static IP addresses for each WiFi profile? I would like to do so without relying on 3rd part apps.
Thanks!
Alriiiiiight I did it !! Thank you man, you've been a great help ! It took me quite a long time, but I'm really happy
I just have some auxiliary questions :
- do you know how to change the disposal of the apps on the first start ? Which apps appear on which screen, and their layout ?
- do you know how to change the default background ?
I've checked this topic, but it's not very clear... I can't find more info ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748095

Thank's for this great rom
It's working nearly perfect for me, but would it possible, to get an improved build.prop? (or all whats neccessary to fix market problems..best example is the missing facebook app or the boat browser)
I tried some differnt changes while comparing your build.prop an the one from an ASOP Samsung Galaxy Nexus Rom (also android ics 4.0.3) but I havn't the desired profit(still no changes).
thanks in advance,

Yes, that would be great ! I'm also trying to do that, but I do not manage to do it...
And I'm also trying to modifiy the "splash" screen, but I cannot find any "initlogo.rle" file on the boot.img, and even more, whenever I unpack, edit, and re-pack the boot.img file with unpack-bootimg.pl and repack-bootimg.pl (when I try to add my own initlogo.rle, for instance) the tablet does not start anymore...
Any idea of how to do it ? You would be awesome
Thank you !
well i found something other^^... would it be possible to get this (Amzon Silk Browser) includet in the next release? or is there maybe a workaround how to get it work with our ics verison?

IMPORTANT UPDATE 1:
As of yesterday (April 21, 2012), I don't have the ability to update/install or experiment with my phone anymore. All of a sudden after an hour's charge, the screen has seized to function. All I have is a blurry, cloudy black and white screen.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 2:
I've contacted android-sale for a solution; and I have to admit that the guys were very helpful. I was thinking of paying the extra $ for the newest Y5 model; but at this moment (May 22, 2012) is not yet available so I went for the MeizuMX (dual core, 1.4GHz Samsung CPU).
As you can understand, from now on, my rom development for GooApple V.5 comes to an end. Also, I can only provide help from memory regarding this rom. I 'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to you.
--------------------------
This thread is dedicated on which is the best rom for GooApple V5; thus it's called Bestrom. It's purpose is to provide the most functional rom available which is able to solve ALL the issues this phone's original roms had. In version 4, I've been based on Von275's (www.anexonel.tk) fine work (version 2.1), tried to make it more stable, eliminate F/C issues and added some bits n pieces here and there. Detailed list follows:
Instructions on how to install it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21847185&postcount=198
This is a recovery image taken from my phone via Chinese recovery.
What's inside:
01. This is called ''Bestrom v.4'' and it's based on von275's 2.1 custom rom.
02. FAST iOS UI.
03. Working Wifi based location services & GPS.
04. QuickBoot.
05. RootExplorer.
06. RootUninstaller.
07. Gmail & Google Apps preinstalled.
08. Automatically Syncing Calendar and Contacts.
09. SlideIT keyboard & Greek input method.
10. Default locale set to English.
10. Rom is already rooted.
11. MoboPlayer (Best performance Video player for V5)
12. Documents 2 Go.
13. Adobe Flash 11.
14. Dolphin Browser HD.
15. Advanced Task Manager.
16. Removed Smartkeyboard of Von275's rom.
You can download the rom from here:
Bestrom v.4: http://www.mediafire.com/?k635fc2dvnc6emu
Make sure you clear / wipe cache BEFORE restoring. Helps a lot avoiding Force Closing some programs.
Previous versions:
Bestrom v.3: http://www.mediafire.com/?zz848479c3h73hh

Bestrom v.1: http://www.mediafire.com/?f1es24rgn0zmp72
Please post any bugs and/or requests regarding this rom here.
Enjoy.
Installed on my Gooapple V5. So far no issues. Thanks!

This is a recovery image taken from my phone via Chinese recovery.
What's inside:
01. This is called ''Bestrom v.2'' and it's based on gooapple_ios_12.01.14 rom.
02. Working Wifi based location services AND GPS (faint signal on my place)
03. QuickBoot
04. RootExplorer
05. RootUninstaller
06. Latest Gingerbread apps: Market, GoogleMaps, Latitude, CarHome, Talk, Navigator etc.
07. Automatically Syncing Calendar and Contacts.
08. Greek Input method (It's a free alternative to the chinese QQ)
09. Default locale set to English (from Chinese)
10. Rom is already rooted.
The rom link is here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p0c4hec3pko45p6
What's NOT inside: GooglePartnerSetup.apk. It kept killing itself for no apparent reason. Other than that I've decided to keep most of the Chinese apps, just in case any people out there want some of them. You can uninstall any unneeded apps via RootUninstaller which is already inside the rom.
Make sure you clear / wipe cache after restoring. Helps a lot avoiding Force Closing some programs.

Hi macsga,
can I just load it via the restore option, or do I have to install the gooapple_ios_12.01.14 rom first. I'm still running the gooapple_ios_11.12.29, and restored the bestrom v2.
You just need to restore it. The only drawback I've found out is that an embedded script turns the chinese Clockworkmod back to the official English one; that means you need to reflash the chinese c/w everytime you need to restore any other rom.
Sorry about that.

A small question, does bestrom v3 runs so faster like bestrom v1? Because in v1 the main screen scrolls perfectly and I dont want to change to a slower version.. Great job, and thanks!!

You're welcome! I can tell that v3 runs smoothly. It also has features that v1 didn't (like GPS fix). I'd say you make a backup first and try. If you don't like it you can always revert.
I tried this version. Unfortunately, it has become far worse than the previous one. That's what I have seen:
- Used an older version of iLauncher
- The status bar is not transparent
- A bug with the device going to sleep (if you just press the "Back" button, we have a blank screen)
- Not the correct definition of my ISP provider. (Baikalwestcom instead AKOS-GSM)
- No reaction to the long press "Back" button
- Cached background process - SuperUser in the task manager written in Chinese characters
- The keyboard has only one language - the system language, for a set of English language is necessary to change the whole the device language
PS: 3rd screenshot - the original ROM (Transparent status bar; AKOS-GSM)

I am now using the latest version of anexonel's http://anexonel.webs.com/downloadlinks.htm which is FAR better than my v3 one. So far I find it a perfect choice. Thanks for the comments.
Unfortunately, the firmware "Anexonel's modified chinese rom V2" contains more fatal bugs. Including:
- Slow down scrolling working screens
- The lack of localization (English only): Calendar, LockScreen and more other .apk
- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart
- No Icons SuperUser! (Root is)
- Broken Calculator - does not fit the entire series
- Does not stretch application icons. Wafers under the application icons are missing.
- Settings -> General -> SIM Tools = system crash
- Is not correctly working SystemUI.apk (not compatible with FrameWork)
- Wi-Fi - so slow, losing connection, the phone warms
In my opinion, the most stable version of the firmware, it is devoid of most of the problems - GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_ (rom.gooapple.com). zip [148,626,630 bytes]
It was posted on the official site, but a very short time. I personally use it.
A working Wi-Fi, GPS, Settings, SystemUI, very good software of radio module. Excellent localization. Adroid version 2.3.6 (Install to Phone / SD-Card - present)
Of the cons:
- Replaces preloader.img in English! (return via MobileuncleTools.apk, and delete - system\recovery-from-boot.p)
- No Root (helps - GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH)
- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart
- Lost the original apple logo (replacement restores "boot_logo" and "bootanimation.zip" is not enough, one has to flash boot.img [6,291,456 bytes]

I'd like to test it, if you like to share it. Please upload it and share the link. If it's like what you're suggesting I'd be more than happy to provide a rom based on this. From my personal experience, official releases never got even near GPS fix / NetworkLocation service; plus they presented A LOT MORE lag.
I had to dig very deep to find a *working* apk for both of these. There's a whole thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21947564&postcount=236 (link provided with my 1st attempt of fixing those issues).
In any case; I can only but respect your opinion and try (if you post the link). Thanks in advance.
ROM
Here is the link, uploaded by as you requested.

At the moment, the official website there are 3 new versions, but for some reason I could not flash any of them. He tried to combine new and old, also failed.
apple_ios_v3g_120302.zip
GOOAPPLE_V5_3G_IOS_12.02.23.zip
GOOAPPLE_V5_3G_ANDROID_12.02.16.zip
Ahoj men! I'm in trouble!
There was chinese recovery at my phone and mayianday rom ver.
But today, after installing manufacture version of rom (the same as AndroVet link GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_) i've got an english recovery as he say but rom don't boot! All I can hear is quiet clicks after gooapple logo and black screen. Only hard reset helps to go in recovery menu.
I have no backup for english reсovery. what to do next? How to revive it? I want it back!

OK, thank you!
Problem solved by reinstalling rom package from english recovery. After that it load os and now I can go back to china rec. Ufff!
Solution consists of one step:
- Flash your old preloader.img with "GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH" software
Decision 2:
- Install MobileuncleTools.apk
- Flash your old recovery.img

This is my first port ever so any advice, feedback is appreciated.
I'm not a developer, I just want to learn and I found that doing this port was not too difficult. So if anyone feels like helping me out learn about porting, etc then feel free to contact me.
I decided to open this thread for better support and faster feedback as I'm planing to keep it as up to date, bug free as my skills and time permit.
Well the official website for the rom is LewaOS
Credit: Thanks to xj220gt, for his initial port that got my interest, to the CM team since I'm using their roms as a base, and to whoever else credit is due.

How to install:
1-) Make a nandroid backup of most recent working rom. Also use titaniumbackup or similar to backup your data
2-) Wipe clean all partitions
3-) Flash the new Rom
4-) Flash GAPPS
5-) Flash your kernel (optional)
6-) Boot up
7-) Restore your apps, be mindful when restoring settings.
I know this might be a lot of work, but that is the safest way I have found to keep my data as I have lots of apps. Also You must keep your sd card files intact for this to work.
After first boot, do the initial setup, fix permissions and reboot. That is all.
What is working: Everything.
What is not working: As far as I know no issues.

How to add support for old or new baseband?
I have been asked what did I do to get the latest nightly to support the old baseband so I will just put it here.
To add support for the new baseband just get these 4 files from here.
Then You will open your rom file or just add the files to the following locations replacing old files:
1-)nvddk_audiofx_core.axf to /system/bin/nvddk_audiofx_core.axf
2-)nvrm_daemon to /system/bin/nvrm_daemon
3-)libnvddk_audiofx.so to /system/lib/libnvddk_audiofx.so
4-)libnvmm_audio.so to /system/lib/libnvmm_audio.so
This has only been tested to work with GB
If you want to provide support for the old baseband instead of the new one then just do the same, but get the files from a rom that supports the old baseband, I recommend CM7.2 RC2, it is the same process.

How to unbrick-upgrade or/and downgrade baseband.
Okay the first thing is to go to stock (rooted) 2.3.3 this will work for unbriking and everything. G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash The original thread can be found here.
This is good in case you brick or want to upgrade, you go to a lower version so LG tool let you upgrade.

After that, I recommend to firmware device with help programms KDZ or LG Mobile Update[/QUOTE]
Now we need to download the kdz files.
The V21Y_00 update (LG T-Mobile branded Android 2.3.4) can be found here and the Original thread
Use this file for upgrading to the newer baseband.
For downgrading go to this thread on the first post, if you have a T-Mobile phone download this one if not the the other.
From this thread download the offline tool
This tool will let us upgrade or downgrade.
Now the thread provide instructions but many people get lost even with the pictures because there are basic yet important steps he misses.
1-) Unzip the tool.
2-) go to start menu and look for wordpad, do a rick click and run as administrator.
3-) Opend wordpad as administrator, from it, open up the “host” file is under C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ or %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\ at the bottom add 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com.
4-)open cmd.exe as administrator, cd to the unzipped directory and run Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs
To open cm or wordpad as administrator you have to do a search in the menu bar and then a right click and select "run as" or "run as administrator"
5-) The script will install 1. MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser, let it do it.
6-) The script will also run 2. “windows enabler.exe”, on the status bar (usually right lower corner) a new icon will show up, do a left click and make sure it says on.
7-) 3. Enable the phone’s “USB debugging” mode (menu>settings>applications>development>USB debugging), connect the phone to PC and wait for drivers to be loaded.
4. Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" if the script dont already start it. It usually does.
9-) Despite of what the original guides says, the only thing you need to change is select the kdz file.
10-) Press "Normal web upgrade test" > upgrade start >
11-) Select: Clear Phone Software update registry, Select "Different Country" and select your Language. Click <OK>
12-) Ignore any message saying to check the internet and run again, this is good.
13-) Wait until it finishes. If it gives any message that the phone is not connected or something like that, disconnect it, turn it off, remove battery and plug it back holding "Volume Down" key. (Automatically goes to Upgrade mode).
That's it. The same process to upgrade or downgrade.
The last step is to flash cwm. Use the link I provide in this same post.

I just found out that the lewas dial app crashes when you receive a call. I was testing wifi calls, so the good news is, it works, the bad news is, I'll have to change that app and re-upload.
hey op, just some advice, you should add in the op screenshots, what kind of rom this is, and its features etc. cuz most of us cant read chinese
Removed file, I'm going to start over. I broke data while playing with changing the dial apk.

If it did not work on CM7.2 Nightly from 05/27/2012 then there is a high chance that it will not work as it is based on that.
I'm currently testing a build. When changing the phone.apk and its odex file for the phone.apk from cm it seems my data is gone and dialers crash at boot. Currently trying to figure out how to fix it.
After much struggle I decided to start completely clean. So I got the data working again but the dialer would crash when incoming calls.
Now I'm going to try to replace the phone.apk for the CM one. If that works then soon enough I should have a "stable" version soon.
There is a new initial release, check changelog for more info.
I'm still unable to replace the crappy dialer app from this rom, ugh!
Still working on finsding a solution. If anyone could help me with showing me how to deodex this rom, and even better, how to replace the dialer app without breaking data, please let me know.
Edit: ALso I just finished reuploading, this time I changed the chinese apps for better ones eventhough dialer issue still persist. AT last that would be a better initial release than just pure stock Lewaos.
Keep us updated. The dialer messenger combo is kind of cool, if I was able to make calls...

With the stock I was able to make calls with both wifi calling and without. The problem is to receive it.
I'm not that popular either way so I could go without it for a while

Well normally on the lewaos launcher, you just press and hold the screen, then a menu will appear at the button, select widgets, then above that menu the available widgets will show up.
The closest setting I see for lockscreen is on settings>personal>themes<customize> then you get lockscreen and its wallpaper.
Support for themes is fully working. But you need to use the default launcher to see the changes not adw launcher.
Aside from this, I'm not quite sure what is your issue as I can get widgets just fine.

Old baseband version coming soon. Hopefully this one will be stable. I'm planing on using the latest nightly and remove support of the new baseband to make it work with the old one.
Also I have a untested ICS rom Genesis Beta 9 with support for the new baseband, and updated kernel modified by me. So I'll be going back to the new baseband to test that rom
Yayyyyy,hopefully dialer can be resolved. The Wi-Fi calling apk is in this correct?

-------------------IMPORTANT STEP----------------------------------------------
5: Once you are in recovery mode make a full backup of your actual rom.
THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE MY TWRP MAKE A BACKUP OF VITAL PARTITIONS WHERE IS STORED IMEI,MAC ETC...
it's a good idea to copy the backup folder on your PC, it could be very useful in future in case of problem with missing IMEI and other trouble...
-------------------IMPORTANT STEP----------------------------------------------
6: Now ( note:due to the fact some people had problem during this step in TWRP-Settings select "Use rm -rf instead of formatting.")select: Wipe-Advanced Wipe and tick: Dalvik Cache,System,Cache,Data.

(2.0Ghz)EMUmI_021105_Kernel.zip (Fastest but not underclockable)
All Kernels are flashable in RECOVERY.

Adopted some Folder&Files (from Huawei firmware)to menage various startup configurations(power policy,icons,toggles default home screen etc..).
Added "Motion control" in settings.
...probably some other things i don't remember..
Full working in every single function(exept the one mentioned in bugs thread)
.......FULL HUAWEI EMUI EXPERIENCE TRANSPLANTED TO UMI ZERO!.
NEW SECTION ADDED: "ADDONS":Her you will find "MODULES" to install and obtain new functions.
P.S.: Superleggera(Superlight) Version will be uploaded ASAP!
BUGS&TIPS
BUGS:
....probably you will find "G750-T20" or "Huawei" in some places:this is needed for the firmware to working(many libs and function refering to those names)
........
TIPS:
NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10 (& random WLAN MAC ADDRESS) ???....HERE THE DEFINITIVE SOLUTION
To download Themes and Songs remember to have simcard inserted and not to be in "Flight Mode":Those apps need to access your IMEI number to finalize autentication..
EMUmI is PREROOTED but there isn't the Supersu apk,all apps needing root will work well,i suggest to install SuperSu(from market) only if you need to manage apps permissions..
The rom is FULLY ODEXED (more stable&fast)....so is not reccomended using Titanium or similar app to remove and then restore apps:It will remove the related libs from system but it will not restore them...so i suggest to use it only if you know what you are doing..(to reinstall an app you need to extract the libs from his .apk and copy them to system/lib again.....)..however you can restore "Only data" of apps without problems.
Many Google related apps are not present(tts,search...)first of all to gain space,second because they are often updated....if you need them you can download from Market without problem..
How To Enable On Screen Soft Buttons:modify this line in build.prop:
#qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
TO
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
(remember to left an empty line at the end of build.prop!)

Can you share some pros/cons compared with stock 3.05?
Hi
Rom is multilingual?
Does this ROM supports double tap to wake ? Are there ang chance that photos are better?

I've only been using it for 30 minuets
the camera seems slightly better although i haven't tested it in the dark yet
i haven't had any random reboots
headphones work fine
I haven't found anything wrong with it yet
