NoThrills A510 WorldWide optimized Stock ROM
version 2012-12-17, built on Acer_AV051_A510_1.034.00 (JellyBean)
After several years of XDA absense, I'm back in the game! I've provided you guys with a working CWM-Based Recovery for the A510, but my main area of interest is ROM cooking. For those of you who are unfamiliar with a NoThrills ROM: It's a stock ROM, the way it should have been. Manufacturers often intend to build the best devices ever, but due to budget cuts or rushed schedules the most important part of development (finetuning) is skipped. That's where I step in! I create stock ROMs that look and feel the same as the original manufacturer ROM, but are vastly different on the inside.
Here's what's visually changed from the original Stock ROM:
NOTHING.
Here's what's changed on the inside:
Added additional languages: This ROM contains: Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian.
ThrillsKernel (experimental): Click here for full details on the kernel.
Rooted: SU (3.1.1), BusyBox (1.20.2) and SuperUser (3.1.3) installed by default.
Fully Deodexed: Both system apps and system framework.
Zipaligned: For better RAM usage.
/etc/init.d support: Allows you to run your own scripts or mods on boot.
System apps updated: See the second post for the full list.
FlexROM apps updated: See the second post for the full list.
AGPS Patch applied and LTO downloadservice installed: This should get you a faster satellite lock.
Ad-blocking HOSTS file: Makes your browsing experience faster and less annoying.
Added English TextToSpeech files: Why were they missing in the first place, Acer? German, Spanish, French and Italian were included by default...
Various performance tweaks: Faster file access, less logging, better response overall.
Installation:
Step 0:
Check this thread to see if you can help the community before you let us help you!
Step 1:
If you don't have it already, install my CWM-Based Recovery.
Step 2:
Download the ROM from this post, extract the .RAR files and put the .ZIP file on your internal or external SD Card.
Step 3:
Start Recovery by powering down your device, holding the Volume down (**) button and turning it on again.
Step 4:
Make a Nandroid Backup. I can't stress this enough. Select backup and restore and choose one of the backup options.
Step 5:
This step is optional, but recommended when you first install this ROM. Select wipe data/factory reset. Note that this will wipe everything from your data partition, including downloaded apps and settings. Files on your internal or external SD Card are safe.
Step 6:
Install this ROM by choosing install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from external sdcard.
Step 7:
Wait for the installation to finish (this takes a few minutes). Spend your time reading the text below these installation instructions!
Step 8:
Select reboot system now, and enjoy!
Please read the following carefully before installing this ROM:
I am not responsible for anything you do to your tablet. Whatever you do, you do it at your own risk!
This ROM is pre-rooted. Do NOT attempt to install BusyBox or SU manually or you might break root. You can safely upgrade BusyBox and SU!
When installed, this ROM will reboot the tablet on its own once, before Android fully boots. This is normal, it's not a boot loop but it's ensuring your tablet becomes rooted.
First boot (after the automatic reboot) will take a while (5 minutes is no exception). Just be patient, it will boot faster next time.
When the tablet has completed booting for the first time, give it another few minutes to get 'up to speed'. It should be much faster after about 5 minutes.
FAQ:
Want themes? Get them somewhere else! I probably don't like your taste, you probably don't like mine. So why pretend? Use this ROM as your base and start theming yourself!
Want mods? Your ideas might be good in your situation, they probably aren't in mine. Again, use this ROM as your base and start modding yourself!
Found bugs? Let me know! Although I can't promise I'll be able to fix them all, at least I will try.
Want to use this ROM as base for your own? Go ahead, make my day. But do credit me with a link to this thread, so people can also taste my flavorless contraptions.
Want to give me your first born baby? I'd rather not have that, but if you really want to give me something: Either click the 'Donate to me' button on the left, or simply hit the 'Thanks' button on this post.

I guess not. I don't have an A511 myself, but I'm guessing there is stuff for the 3G bit missing in the kernel.
If could create a A511 kernel myself, but I'd need someone with an A511 to test it for me.
Hi NoThrills,
i have EMEA_CUS1 on my Tablet can i flash your EMEA_DE without Problems (A510)?
I will flash it when i am at home from work, if the touch is really better i will make a party =D
I will make a Thread at handy-faq.de i hope this is ok for you?

Just to clarify: This ROM uses the updated 1.099.00 system files from the EMEA_DE stock ROM, because this seems to be the best build so far. I've transformed the ROM into a WW_GEN1 ROM, so it's a WorldWide ROM and with my recovery this can be installed on any A510 tablet.
And ofcourse, the more people who use and report about my ROMs, the better they will get :good:

NoThrills is a stock rom modder (similar to what Paul of Modaco does I think). So Acer needs to release our JB update first, then NoThrills can work his magic. :cyclops:
My tablet is already rooted but I haven't unlocked the bootloader as of yet. Is that an issue as your instructions include for rooting the device?

Without a unlocked bootloader, you cannot install a custom recovery
Without a custom recovery, you cannot install a custom ROM
So....
I have the german '99 Rom installed. In regards to the touchscreen sensitivity, installing this custom Rom wouldn't change anything, correct?

Let me rephrase.
Is it an issue that my device is already rooted and I have SU and Busy Box installed?

Not for the hardware part, but your device will feel much snappier and faster so it will seem even more sensitive

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...
I cant set my own wallpaper...ther is a way to do that please?

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.

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

yes it just finished now.. and its verified!!!
Searching the site I found a few rooted stock roms for desire, but they didn't match my criteria. It's not that I'm some developer with high demands (I'm just, lets say, advanced noob ), but they missed some features that I would like them to have. So i decided to make some of them in the way how I would like. So, you will find 2 almost the same roms in the thread and the only difference is the kernel that I used cooking them (choose what you like, they are both stable).
So here is what you get:
stock 2.3 rom made from official desire RUU
rooted
busybox
a2sd (darktremor method, about 125mb (65mb for deodexed) of free space after installation and about 135 after 'move dalvik to sd' in a2sdgui)
zipalligned
odexed or deodexed
ext4 support
kernel:
supernova kbase_powersaver3_190112_151220
or
SNQv6
notifications dropdown menu with quick settings (no recent apps if you like you can flesh mod from recovery)
no boot sound
Plus I added a few apps (or updated existing) you may find useful (if you don't need them just delete them from system\app folder):
a2sdgui (fully functional)
ad free
android assistant
adobe flash player (latest update 02/2012)
daemon controler 3.3 beta3 (all you need is to install andrev OC daemon from app)
dsp manager
es file explorer
gmail updated
google maps updated
old market (still the best)
market enabler
titanium backup
voice search updated
youtube updated
I also removed some of the pre-installed apps with their widgets (useless in my oppinion):
friends stream
stock
flicker
footprints
Roms are made for stock hboot ONLY!
Do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) before installation, rom will not do that instead of you!
Thanx to:
SNQ and droidzone - for kernels
dsixda - for the kitchen
MrLuje - for quick settings
darktremor and ownhere- for more space
ali8383 - for Arabic support RTL patch
coolexe (found ownhere's data2ext flashable .zip in his thread)

NOTIFICATION FOR DEODEXED:
After installation, when rom settles down, go to a2sdgui, allow superuser permission, and select 'move dalvik to sd', reboot will last 10-15 min (it's normal) and you will get about 135mb free in internal storage.

Anyway, after installation you can flash whatever kernel you want, as long as it is Sense compatible!!!
Something new!!!
Since I had no success in fitting cm7 hboot with the rom I tried something else. Here is new made rom, with new kernel (Droidzone full battery calibrated #22), with all previous stuff (+TP to wake), but without immediate a2sd. So, after flashing of rom you will have to flash different data2ext method I found (ownhere's data2ext with some modification found in coolexe rom (Coolsense2.1) thread). After all you will have about 500-1000MB of internal memory (according to the size of your sd-ext).
I also forgot Daemon controller so I'll attach it to the thread.
But the first thing you'll have to do is repartitioning your sd card (I suggest 4ext or you can use clockworkmod recovery) like this:
1st partition fat32 xyMB
2nd partition - sd-ext - ext4 - 768MB (the 1st ext that recovery will ask you)
3rd partition - sd-ext2 - ext4 - 256MB (the 2nd ext that recovery will ask you)
NO SWAP!!!
You can use different values for sd-ext partitions, but ext proportion HAS TO BE 3:1 (like my suggestion 768:256)!!!
After repartition of sd card go to recovery and do A FULL WIPE. After wipe flash the rom, and WITHOUT REBOOTING flash data2ext package.
So, here are the links:
Rom link:

data2ext link:
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/KYlApaurIr/Flashable_Data2Ext_New_v9.3.zip.html
short
http://bit.ly/JFaw3D
One more thing, testing the rom using data2ext I experienced a bug, so if you choose this solution for your rom DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT restart your phone from power menu (pressing power button) IT WILL CORRUPT THE SISTEM!!! Use alternative rebooot methods, for example I use 4ext recovery updater power menu.
I'll try to find the solution for the bug, but I still think that it is a usable rom

RSK Team Amaze cam

And for some having neverending sync issue I attached Friendstream.apk, push it to /system/app folder and that should solve it.
Please provide:
-a note regarding differences between these two kernels
-flashable .zip with friend stream and rest of the items you removed
also, a non-OC variant would be nice. But anyway, your work is much appreciated! I thought I'd stick with Nick's ROM but now I think I'll reconsider. At least I'm gonna give it a try
Keep up the good work
p.s.
also the default bootanimation w/o sound would be nice

About kernels:
Main difference is that droidzone gives you some more juice, and the batt should last longer. But with SNQ you can get some more speed, and tweeks. Anyway, rom works fine with both of them. Here are the links so you can see the difference (SNQ shoud be with all mods).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039004
http://supernova.droidzone.in/?p=1134 (name is Powersaver v3 – Jan 19 3pm IST)
And for non OC I'll find a flashable kernel and post you the link, or you can download kernel from HTC-dev site and flash it from recovery (I think that you will get it as a flashable zip, I'm not sure).
About apps I removed, I'll see what can I do about it, anyway I'll make a new rom with everything.
But I want to point that my main idea was to make pre-rooted stock rom, that has OC, UV and ext4 support, and to remove the apps athat I don't need at all. For example, stock app is always running, and the only way to stop was to use some other app that will kill it, but that means that I have another app that is running and eating ram... And the rest I removed I never used.
P.S. Attached is your stock bootanimation, copy it (with ES file explorer or root explorer) in system/customize/resource folder and replace the exiting, or put it in the same place inside rom before flashing (and, of course rename it to bootanimation).
Thank you!
One more thing. Is there any way to completely remove a2sd from system? I don't need any more internal storage space, and the less clutter the better.
Personally, I'd consider making third, more "stock" version of the rom, without DSP manager, titanium backup and other additional apps, but with all the other default apps (like maps, youtube, flashplayer) up to date, like it is now, and the useful notification power widget kept.
I'd do it myself, but I have absolutely no experience with ROM modding. Maybe you could provide me with a tool that you used?
OK, about the rom, I will try to cook something, but without a2sd you will get less space. Darktremor a2sd works very fast and I had been using it for a long time with stock rom, before I switched to the custom one.
For cooking I used dsixda offline rom kitchen:

Already tried to make deodexed version, but I didn't test it enough and it seemed that it used more memory. It's in my future plans definitely, as soon as I learn how to make it more sd-ext supported (already told not developer yet - still advanced noob ).
Also not sure how to make arabic support...

Tried to make Arabic support implementing files directly to the rom but I didn't have success.
You can try do install patch and see if it will work. Plus I added htc flashlight app that I forgot in odexed version.
thank you ,

Not sure what you think with stable until now, is it not stable any more?
Member abokamel gave me a link and I found a package from Madmack's blog, downloaded it and installed on PC. I successfully made all files for patching but after importing them to the rom I didn't get no Arabic in languages or keybords etc. I didn't try to apply a patch after installation and maybe it could work.
Does it work with your RTL? Tell me if it works and I'll put the link in the first post!!!
About TP to wake, the kernels have support for it but I didn't implemented mod inside the rom. You can try to download and flash it from here.

That's where I found quick settings mod.

my friend its stable , i said "until now " becouse i just installed it
For madmac script it just for supporting RTL & Arabic language for READING AND WRITING . NOT whole ROM AND MENU
so after flashing the patch you will can read arabic in browser and email and other application
The original HTC keyboars does not support arabic latter , so you have to install other keyboard that support arabic "THERE IS MANY IN MARKET"
Finally : Arabic menu is not that important for me , what important is reading and writing
THANKS AGAIN AND I HOPE TO IMPROVE YOUR DEVELEPING SKILL TO GIVE A STATE OF ART ROM
SOME PICTURE FROM THIS ROM , SHOWING IT SUPPORT ARABIC
Ali, well done brother, nl00000, another great improvement to include/integrate Arabic language to your amazing rom, but I'm having a really serious problem with ALL 2.2 & 2.3 which is the slide 2 unlock, it's just open the call or cancelled it while I grab my phone of my pocket, so, is there any way to have sense 3.0 or 3.5 answer method?, and battery percentage?
thanks in advance.
Having problems with upload, I tried Mediafire and Fileswap but they kick me out when I have 50% of file uploaded.
Any suggestion?
NoThrills A510 "Franken700" Stock ROM
version 2012-11-18, built on Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00
First off: Yes, this ROM is for the Acer Iconia TAB A510. The software is taken from A700 tablets and modified to run on your A510 tablet, thus bringing Android 4.0.4 4.1.1 and other goodies (like the new 'power profiles' in the 'settings' menu) to your fingertips!
Here's what's visually changed from the original A700 ROM:
NOTHING.
Here's what's changed on the inside:
Multi-language support: Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian.
ThrillsKernel v3: Click here for full details on the kernel.
A510 drivers and additional A510 files added.
Rooted: SU (3.1.1), BusyBox (1.20.2) and SuperUser (3.1.3) installed by default.
Fully Deodexed: Both system apps and system framework.
Zipaligned: For better RAM usage.
/etc/init.d support: Allows you to run your own scripts or mods on boot.
System apps updated: See the second post for the full list.
AGPS Patch applied and LTO downloadservice installed: This should get you a faster satellite lock.
Ad-blocking HOSTS file: Makes your browsing experience faster and less annoying.
Added English TextToSpeech files: Why were they missing in the first place, Acer? German, Spanish, French and Italian were included by default...
Various performance tweaks: Faster file access, less logging, better response overall.
Installation:
Step 0:
Check this thread to see if you can help the community before you let us help you!
Step 1:
If you don't have it already, install my CWM-Based Recovery.
Step 2:
Download the ROM from this post, extract the .RAR files and put the .ZIP file on your internal or external SD Card.
Step 3:
Start Recovery by powering down your device, holding the Volume down (**) button and turning it on again.
Step 4:
Make a Nandroid Backup. I can't stress this enough. Select backup and restore and choose one of the backup options.
Step 5:
This step is optional, but recommended when you first install this ROM. Select wipe data/factory reset. Note that this will wipe everything from your data partition, including downloaded apps and settings. Files on your internal or external SD Card are safe.
Step 6:
Install this ROM by choosing install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from external sdcard.
Step 7:
Wait for the installation to finish (this takes a few minutes). Spend your time reading the text below these installation instructions!
Step 8:
Select reboot system now, and enjoy!
Please read the following carefully before installing this ROM:
I am not responsible for anything you do to your tablet. Whatever you do, you do it at your own risk!
This ROM is NOT intended to be flashed on a A700 tablet. It won't boot!
This ROM is a BETA. I guess it's stable enough now...
This ROM is pre-rooted. Do NOT attempt to install BusyBox or SU manually or you might break root. You can safely upgrade BusyBox and SU!
When installed, this ROM will reboot the tablet on its own once, before Android fully boots. This is normal, it's not a boot loop but it's ensuring your tablet becomes rooted.
First boot (after the automatic reboot) will take a while (5 minutes is no exception). Just be patient, it will boot faster next time.
When the tablet has completed booting for the first time, give it another few minutes to get 'up to speed'. It should be much faster after about 5 to 10 minutes.
FAQ:
Want themes? Get them somewhere else! I probably don't like your taste, you probably don't like mine. So why pretend? Use this ROM as your base and start theming yourself!
Want mods? Your ideas might be good in your situation, they probably aren't in mine. Again, use this ROM as your base and start modding yourself!
Found bugs? Let me know! Although I can't promise I'll be able to fix them all, at least I will try.
Want to use this ROM as base for your own? Go ahead, make my day. But do credit me with a link to this thread, so people can also taste my flavorless contraptions.
Want to give me your first born baby? I'd rather not have that, but if you really want to give me something: Either click the 'Donate to me' button on the left, or simply hit the 'Thanks' button on this post.

It's a play on Frankenstein... If you have a better name let me know
Naa, that's fine. Frankenstein was my second guess ... but the first was more obvious for me ... i'm living not far away from "Franken". And the ROM is your creation thus you can decide every name you want ... except "mechkilla" .
Just for verification purposes, can this be installed over the optimized stock rom?

In my opinion Franken700 is better but it's maybe only an impression (and also because ICS 4.0.4 has reputation to be faster than 4.0.3).
The only "bug" i have noticed is that when i start internet browser, i have to zoom out (the first time only!!!).
The opti500 rom is good but (in my opinion) does not provide enough improvements...
(sorry for my english... i'm french)

installed this morning and dont find any bug for this moment
a bit more efficient rom
Got it up and running about 5 hours ago and loving it. Alot more responsive and quick. Thanks NOTHRILLS for the first Thrill since the battery!!!
I have been running the franken A700 rom all day and so far it is running very smoothly and without any bugs so far
Thank you so much to everyone that has replied. I wanted to make sure that the screen responsiveness bug isn't there.
Slightly related question. Does anyone know how I should backup my local ICS browser bookmarks?
NoThrills A510 Unofficial CyanogenMod 10
version 2012-09-17, built from source
JellyBean for your tablet! Unfortunately, I was not the first to release this... While I was working on it, BenEtNath released his CM10 build, and will forever be recognized as the first developer to bring JellyBean to the Iconia Tab 510 tablets. In future, I'm sure we'll merge our projects, but for now it's fun to learn for the both of us!
Here's what's in this ROM:
Multi-language support: All the languages Android offers are available in this ROM. There are too many to list!
ThrillsKernel (experimental): Click here for full details on the kernel.
Rooted: SU (3.1.1), BusyBox (1.20.2) and SuperUser (3.1.3) installed by default.
Fully Deodexed: Both system apps and system framework.

When the tablet has completed booting for the first time, give it another few minutes to get 'up to speed'. It should be much faster after about 5 minutes.

Google Apps:
The Google Apps are not included in this ROM. Also, because Acer partitioned our device with only 344MB for system files, we're running out of space with JellyBean builds. To remedy this, I have crafted a Google Apps package custom-made for my CyanogenMod 10 build. It will install most of the files to the FlexROM, leaving you with about 90MB space on the system partition.
This package installs the Play Store, Facelock, Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Street View, Google+, Talk, VoiceSearch (Google Now), and Talkback.

Great news !! Thx ur so much. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the kind mention on OP, I do not deserve it a lot as my major work was porting the great work of pawtip but it's nice to have been for a while the current releaser of android 4.1 for this great device we own
The only thing that is sad for me is that I'm not even sure I'll flash own build once I get mytab back.. strange situation isn 't it. .

Two bugs:
1080p filming doesnt work at the first time, second time it's perfect
- Google Voice search FCs after you said something, even after reboot
But I never use it so no big deal.. it's blazing fast! Thanks!
Great Job!
I'll wait a few returns and corrections before to use this rom .. I use my tablet quite extensively like playing Tegra 3 Games and HD movies.
great work...again
and System is mountable r/w ... GREAT !
Wow, this ROM is very cool. Thanks for the work!
I noticed that there's no sensitivity setting, though? Was that canned in CM10?

Not that it was canned in CM10. But I think (and someone slap me if I'm wrong) the sensitivity setting is an Acer ROM feature.
A very badly implemented feature at that.
Report:
- 1080p movie player, not lag at all, perfect.
- USB pendrive working
- External SD card can access
- touch screen work perfect
- camera ok
- 1080p video capture ok
- wifi ok
- internet browser ok.
Maybe bug
- no more Dolby surround sound, sound very softly
THis rom really smooth, very enjoyable. :good:
Omg omg thank you!!! Works like a charm for me. No issues thus far!!!
Wooooooo!!!!

It is Jelly Bean buddy. Say thanks to Adobe.
Dear Owners,
Here is a modified multilingual ROM for the ZTE V889M phone. Note that this phone looks like the ZTE BLADE III, but it is based on MTK6577 platform and can handle two sims - dual sim in dual standby mode. Please use the ROM only for this phone to avoid any inconvenience for you (and your phone).
The ROM is delivered “as is”, meaning that this version is no longer maintained due to the fact that I did not do it on my own phone.
At first I need to say thanks for bgcngm and his thread, where the base of the ROM is derived from.
Note that the ZetaMod-v0.06 is originally optimised for Hungarian use. For this reason the primary language was set to Hungarian. (Link will be updated soon, when the v0.07 will be issued)
The ROM does not contain kernel, this is why it does not contain boot.img
Many online stores offer this phone with mod rom, with chinese recovery or stock recovery.
For this reason you have to check your phone if you have CWM. (It is important to install the mod ROM)
To check it, turn off your phone completely. Press the volume up continuously and press the power then. After the logo appears, you can release the power button.
After the phone is entered into the recovery mode, you can release volume up button,
Now, you can easily decide which recovery you have got.
If there is <3e> recovery, that means you have got stock recovery.
If you can see chinese recovery, you can easily recognise it - I wouldn't explain it how.
If you can see the Bruno-complied CWM you can be happy, you can install the ROM.
For the installation of the CWM you have to be familiar with the use of the SP Flashtool.
The
You can find many thread about it, e.g. the mentioned bgcngm one.
Make a CWM backup before install any new ROM!
The thread will be updated with more information soon.
Short installation manual:
Download the mod rom (.zip) and save it into your SD card (practically to the main directory)
Simply enter into the CWM recovery and choose “install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sd card -> choose the ZetaMod-xy.zip -> install”
The installer will ask you about the installation details. Do it step by step and the finally you will have a new phone.
You can choose default or custom installation.
I suggest to save your nvram and Imei at the first time you use the installer. This is a useful safety feature!
Credits:
bgcngm for the base of the ROM (BM3.1)
iBotPeaches and brut.all for apktool
dsixda for his ROM kitchen which is really helpfull for easy-deodexing
Koush for his wonderfull CWM recovery
amarullz for his amazing AROMA installer
...and finally to all the devs whose apps, tweaks and scripts I have used on my custom ROMs
Thank you so much for this cappa72, it's working really well for me. Smoother and faster than the Official Updates that I have tried. One thing that I do miss is the lockscreen of newer update versions of v889m. (The one where you tap and hold the green lock button and a green circle appears before the device is unlocked). Is there a way to incorporate that. That lockscreen is available with Merlion and Uzbekistan Official Updates.
I hope you continue releasing updated ROMs/Updates for v889m as the device has little developer support. Thanks for the share.
EDIT: By the way I used TWR recovery (Team Win Recovery) rather than CWM. It works with TWR too.

It is my pleasure!
I am really happy that you could use it for your phone. (After the unsuccessful files...)
To tell you the truth, the phone is not in my hand any more, so I will not be able to do additional things with it.

Considering that I was warned by an admin that I could not provide kernel source link, I can only link my blog about it.
