[ROM] Official THL W8+ adapted to THL W8 - Miscellaneous Android Development

Official THL W8+ ROM adapted to THL W8 (4GB/8GB) - Android 4.2.1
Version: ThL_W8.JB2.HD.EN_MT6589V1.0.3_20130425 - International
Since THL is somewhat forgetting about THL W8 4GB/8GB owners regarding official international 4.2.1 ROM update
I decided to take the latest one from THL W8+ and adapt it for W8 purposes.
This is the official ROM without any fixes/modifications.
I am not planning to mod/fix stuff in this ROM - so please, don't ask me to.
If you are looking for a modded ROM, install GravityMod2 instead.
I am sharing this for those who want to be running official THL unmodded ROM, or just want to get a taste of it.
This ROM is installable via custom recovery.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND using my ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 recovery since it's the one and only recovery that can make fully consistent backups (I coded in some MTK6589 specific features).
This means that restoring ROM that was backed up using this recovery will get you to a fully working previous state without additional messing with SP Flash Tool to flash other essential images.
Read carefully before you proceed
- Full wipe is needed to upgrade from Android 4.1.2, or any other ROM that's not based on this one.
- Working image of ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 is included and gets flashed automatically
during ROM installation. TWRP is not possible for now because of kernel image being too big in size making it
impossible for TWRP image to fit 6MB partition. So for those currently using TWRP, don't be suprised that
your recovery is suddenly changed to CWM after flash.
- returning to previous ROM that was backed up using custom recovery is possible only in case you used my ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 to backup your previous ROM.
All other custom recoveries will simply not work because they are not "MTK6589 friendly".
So I strongly recommend to flash my CWM 6.0.3.2 and perform backup using this recovery before proceeding any further.
- ROM uses kernel from the official chinese W8 4.2.1 ROM running at 49 FPS - this is because I wanted to make this ROM as close to official
as possible.
- Boot animation and logo look oversized since they are made for FullHD resolution. This does not affect the ROM functionality in any way.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR DEVICE.
Download
(Link removed until GPL violation issue is addressed)
Installation instructions
1) Download installation ZIP package and put it on SD card.
2) Reboot to recovery. Turn off signature verification if it's on (ZIP is not signed)
3) Backup your current ROM - again, I strongly recommend using my ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 recovery (as I already mentioned above)
so you can easily restore previous ROM if needed.
4) Perform factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache)
5) Install ZIP package downloaded in step 1)
6) Reboot

i will try it
is it ok if i find it ok that i modify an mod it

thank you for those who want to test it

salut Julien,
use this guide to tweak sound level in engineer mode : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41145394&postcount=140
in Normal mode, you should increase sph value : level 6 is 160.

There are still bugs in this ROM, for instance date&time settings crashes...
But I really like :
- G-sensor and Proximity Sensor Calibration utility : is it possible to include it in GM2 ?
- I find that photos taken with this Camera ap are better quality, am I wrong ?
Unless those little things, I prefer far more GM2 than stock 8P128 official ROM !

GM2 already has calibrations, mate

1) it's a long time since this bug is known but still unsolved by ThL engineers...
2) this ROM is not as stable as GravityMod2 for instance.
3) it seems that rooting method is not the good one, GravityMod2 ROM is already rooted.

You right i try the gravity mod ans its perfect
Tanks a lot

As you are already aware because of your other thread on CMW 6.0.3.3, ThL_W8.JB2.HD.EN_MT6589V1.0.4_20130515 is out:

I know. This thread is deprecated, anyway, and the link is removed due to GPL violation (because I included kernel without linking to source code (which we don't have, anyway)) and thus violated XDA rules. I've already asked mods to delete this thread.

TO SYNC PHONE
MyPhoneExplorer -has the ability to control the phone from PC, client included in custom ROM just install desktop application to sync phone !
QtADB - advanced tool both Linux and Windows, many features
ROOT -ONLY for the case you are on STOCK ROM and just want stock rooted
-download and flash by Recovery it comes with the last ver 3.1.3 of Superuser downloaded from Market (not from a site) -just to be sure it's safe
-yes this custom ROM comes with root enabled so you do not need to flash this package only for the case you prefer to stay on stock but want to mod it yourself
(as seen from poll results many prefer staying on stock rom )
STOCK RECOVERY
as you requested download stock recovery from attachment anyway a stock recovery is not good to flash a custom ROM file - you get signature-verification error that's why we build custom recovery ! stock recovery is good to flash an update signed by manufacturer by example and update that comes as .zip package by FOTA (Firmware Over The Air ); anyway this stock recovery has no menu you can use it to perform a factory reset from phone menu only !

firstly check by Move Upgrade/ One Touch Upgrade for a GB official update then feel free to test this custom rom if you want to revert to stock GB (official update) will be easy - do a backup before to flash custom rom at this time you can not use this GB rom -just try for an official update in order to get a-new-and-happy bootloader - with this update yes you CAN NOT revert to any Froyo-based roms !
@ALL
I made an update :kernel with OC flash it by CWM get it from post #2

Do you guys have to put your phone into recovery for move upgrade to work? It's the only way I can get mine to be recognized, and last time I tried it just wiped and reinstalled the stock Froyo.
I wish I could just get it to tell me if an update is available rather then just flash the same version without asking me!
So, if we don't get the new bootloader via move upgrade, this GB rom will fail then I take it?
Hello Calin !
After the official upgrade to GB, battery discharges too quickly, I did not realize what was happening ( 17 hrs - not using WIFI or data 3G).
Today I will try the new ROM.
Thanks again !
You are the best !
Button combos
Hey there,
Calin, how to enter in recovery using button combos?
I tried combination for froyo but I get the triagle with the exclamation mark inside it and a droid at the bottom...
Or is my phone really faulty?
I told you that I manage to fix it temporary... but now I lost the pc connection again...
So?
Thanks

[Q] not start after flashing rom,sony logo (Sk17a)

hi to everyone.
have a little trouble, but first, my phone specs:
Model: Sk17a
Rom: Xperia Mini Pro_4.1.B.0.587_Generic.
Root: yes
CWM Recovery: V5.5.0.4 by pvyPar
BL: locked
Well i want to flash this rom "[ROM][ICS] Revolution ICS HD™ [Build 8.0][Super Silk] 11.07.2013 Final Release" credits to : saqib nazm
I already flashing two times, in the first time was restarted after pass sony logo, on the second time he stayed in the sony logo.
qualify and follow the instructions for installing this ROM, contact the dev of the rom and I said no matter which model is sk17a or SK17i, works both.
what will be the problem that I can not install this rom??
Thanks and good day.
problems with flashing roms
hi there,
i'm not entirely sure if this will help you but generally speaking i came made a few observations about the fact that some people, mostly repeatingly the same users, encounter problems with their custom roms and/or flashing them, while others don't, albeit they are using the same devices.
i my selfe use 3 different devices, all rooted and running on pac 4.3, always lates nightly, as there are GT-N7100 - GT-I9100 - Nexus 4
not to the point
a) other than most other users i usually clean cache and dalvik cache as well before and after flashing the new rom and/or new nightly
and never encountrer any problems except those which everybody, using the same rom and nightly encounters.
b) whenever i flash an totally different rom and/or upgrade and/or downgrade to another level of android os, i.e. from 4.2.2 to 4.3, i perform
a clean install, including not only a factory reset, but as well a format sd-card, format cache and format system etc., again i cannot proof
which of these steps make a or the differnce but however, i never have problems others than thosw which everyone has with a version.
c) when using cusome kernels and due to the fact that some roms come with a kernel included, as well as with a custom recovery included,
it is strongly recommended not to forget to flas the kernel again after each flashing the new rom. one good example ist dorimanx kernel
for GT-I9100 which will not boot into recovery and reluctantly boot at all after a new flash of a pac nightly without reflashing the kernel.
d) try to fix permissions on reboot instead of doing it from recovery. one reason is that not every recovery has this option and further i
found that when fixing permissions before the first boot after flashing a new rom, there might be bootloops, albeit i cannot explain exactly
why that should, but however, sometimes it's better to be on the safe sid.
e) try to run whether the lastes version of custom recovery for your device, and or the use the included custom recovery of the rom or the
kernel. this again is one thing that can help to avoid some unexpected and hard to explain bootproblems and/or fc's etc.
hope that i could give you some new ideas how to avoid trouble while using custom roms and other hacks
Good point at the nex time i clean the dalvik caché afther flash Thanks bro

I search the forum for S3 look alike but RemICS V6 gives me a Status 6 error.
Can anyone know any custom rom like S3.I like the way you swipe to the right and you call and swipe to the left to SMS.
Perhaps if you have an older device that is running gingerbread as it is, maybe it is better to use ICS over gingerbread. The triple buffering in jelly bean, although pretty, is quite CPU intensive on an older phone relative to ICS. Or GPU intensive if you decide to run your UI acceleration through the GPU.

Thanks.
Helo Kuro.
I know its been a year since you made the question about a Fast Rom (you asked for ICS).
My advice is to stick to Gingerbread Roms. I safely recommend:
- " Full DDLF2 Rom".
- Deodex the Rom
- Flash CF Root
- Remove Bloatware
- Install good Apps only
- Remove the 90% of the Advertising
ICS; Jelly Bean and Kit Kat Roms may brick your device and it requires advanced knowledge when something goes wrong.
Let me know if you want to do this.
Ill be glad to provide files and teach you howto do it properly.

[Q] Help - Clarification on [How To's]

Hi
I finally have decided to try and unlock, root and install custom ROM to my TF300T. It's lagging a lot and I am going crazy over it.
I am not new to rooting and flashing roms, I have done the same numerous times to my beloved GNex and a couple of other mobile phones I owned before. Having said that, I have only followed the tutorial to flash. So, not a total newbie but sort of.
I am trying to make this tablet more usable (my usage is is restricted to browsing, streaming sports/movies and a few games). The more I read the more I am getting confused. I just would like a clean ROM which doesn't lag and hopefully a method that has lesser possibility of Bricking.
I am on the latest firmware from Asus (But, It did come with ICS if I remember correctly before I updated to 4.2.1). I know when I updated it came with new BL so, using custom recovery/roms designed for 4.1.x is not an option (please correct me if I am wrong). I intend to follow these steps -
Please point me in right direction/correct the steps/suggest better steps where ever needed. I just want to know if I am on the right path so far.
1. Unlock BL with latest Unlock tool from Asus website.
2. with [UNLOCKED BL], install 2.5.0.0 TWRP &SuperSU ( will follow - [GUIDE][13/11]Update/Recovery/Root/Downgrade Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked/Locked Devices ) - OR should I install 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.img' from TWRP site?
3. Once #1 & #2 are complete, I can choose a Custom Rom and flash. Anything else to be wary about?
Questions
1. Should I use 'Flatline - Unbrickable Transformer TF300T - Jellybean edition'?
2. I do not have much data and I can download the apps again if needed. So, Is Nandroid backup/Backup with Titanium necessary? (for recovery of the system/ROM - I do not care about the apps/user data at this point)
3. Can someone suggest what they think is a better combination of ROM+Kernel? From a post I see the following ROMS I can choose from
joelalmeidaptg's post :
Here you have a list of ROMs that are compatible with the new bootloader and are safe to flash once you are on 4.2.1 firmware:
CleanROM Inheritance Xenogenesis from sbdags
Energy™ from NRGZ28
GRIMLOCK from hardslog
CyanogenMod 10.1 Unofficial from pcoussa
ROM-THEME- STOCK KERNEL Stock Asus Firmware 10.6.1.15.3 from surdu_petru

2. with [UNLOCKED BL], install 2.5.0.0 TWRP &SuperSU ( will follow - [GUIDE][13/11]Update/Recovery/Root/Downgrade Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked/Locked Devices )
3. Once #1 & #2 are complete, I can choose a Custom Rom and flash. Anything else to be wary about?
Questions
1. Should I use 'Flatline - Unbrickable Transformer TF300T - Jellybean edition'?
2. I do not have much data and I can download the apps again if needed. So, Is Nandroid backup/Backup with Titanium necessary? (for recovery of the system/ROM - I do not care about the apps/user data at this point)
3. Can someone suggest what they think is a better combination of ROM+Kernel? From a post I see the following ROMS I can choose from
Thanks in advance.

After unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP, I would recommend installing CROMi-X.
It is based on stock so you do not need to wipe before installing (you can keep all your apps).
It has a nice graphical installer and you can choose lots of different tweaks.
It comes with a variety of different kernels - I use _that's OC kernel.

Thanks for the reply. Which version of TWRP? 2.5.0.0 or the latest one from TWRP site that ends with 4.2.blog?

Use the one that ends in -42 since you are on the 4.2 bootloader. Flatline NvFlash is always a good idea. A helpful guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545610.
cromi x for sure
cromix is def the way to go with this tablet-get a fast microsd-partition and use a kernel with data2sd like thats.
good luck, if installed correctly you'l feel like it's a brand new tablet

also, i find it's better to install cromi without installing a kernel first (using stock). then after cromi is up and running, use kernel installer to install desired kernel and tweaks. have fun and make sure to read everything

Hi, I have bought a samsung tab 3 sm-t311 in China and since they everything related to google, I rooted it and installed CWM,
I installed this rom here with CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404877
Installation was successful but I get this messages when launching my device:

I close it, then:
- Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped.
I press ok, then:
Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped.
I press ok then:
- Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?
I press ok
And it keeps coming back over and over...

Hi, thanks for replying. I cannot post in the topic of the rom because I am new on the forum (what I get when I try to post something overthere).
Could you please explain me how to fix the permissions in CWM?
I am a beginner who been trying to fix his tablet for a week now, but I still dont understand everything since I cant put all my time on it... If its not about following tutorials step by step, i am lost...
I also tried the fast team one, without any success, when the rom is installed and the device is rebooted, this time the screen stay blocked on "samsung galaxy tab3" for years!!!
sorry, i meant the fast dream rom
I just tried to Flash three roms from sammobile.com (one from hong-kong, one from spain and one from germany) through Odin.
Everytime I get I click on AP to load the rom on odin, I get this message:"md5 error! Binary is invalid".
Since I have rooted the tablet using odin to instal CWM, when I boot the tablet in download mode, I can see:
- PRODUCT NAME: SM-T311
- CURRENT BINARY: Cusom
- SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Is it related? Someone help plz...
The question is do i really have to install a new rom, now that the tablet is rooted with CWM on it, can't do any manipulation to allow the chinese rom to accept google playstore etc...
My biggest problem with the chinese rom that comes with it is that i cant install download google playstore, i installed it but everytime i open it, it closes right away. Not google nor other google apps available neither since it was sold in china...

You should be able to post on ROM forum now(as you've reached 10 posts.
And the fix permissions option should be in 'advanced' section in CWM(not sure, I use TWRP recovery)

dont you have cwm backup? if not then flash stock firmware ,find proper odin flashable packages for your device.
always make backup before flashing any rom.

In the end, I just used a previous version of Odin (3.4 instead of 3.9) to flash an original stock rom.
Now the problem is that I have a new CWM that works with the volume up, volume down button, and this menu:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- zipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache
Since the rom is not really good, i wanted to flash another one (one of those we just talked about), but the backup i did with the previous CWM i had (Philz Advanced CWM 6.08.90) is nowhere in the tablet anymore (i dont have any sd card) and i dont know how to make a back up with this CWM...
So now the question is how to make a backup with this version of CWM so I can try to flash other roms, or how to get the version that i had before without takin any risk of brickin the device (so i can make another backup and try to flash another)

Are you sure the new recovery is CWM and not stock recovery?? If you flashed stock ROM, it should've given you stock recovery again...
(Does it show the CWM hat logo in the background?)

Actually, yea its the stock recovery, so should i reroot the phone to install CWM, make a backup just in case, flash another stock rom which i find better, and then try to flash this one in recovery mode?

Yup, I think you'd better to start over again. Try take a look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401901
It works well for my SM-T311 :good: Then you can reroot and make a backup from TWRP easily.
I also suggest you to take a look at this too : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522091 From there, you can get PhilZ touch recovery based on CWM v.6.0.4.5
