New rom is out! This time it's not a port, but entirely based on Iocean x7 Elite 22/07 stock firmware.
Here's new GammaRom dedicated thread:
[ROM][4.2.1][Iocean x7] GammaRom v1.0 [Youth][Youth Turbo][Plus][Elite]
Report in GammaRom thread issues/opinions/suggestions/feature requests about that rom.

GravityMod2 is now compatible with any Iocean x7. I've released a new version of the rom in two versions in order to cover the whole Iocean x7 community: one version for Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo and another one for Iocean x7 Plus/Elite.
UPDATE: I prepared a flashable zip that gives you the possibility to use many roms for MT6589 devices on your Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo/Elite. See this post for installation instructions.
Hi guys, I just ported to Iocean x7 Youth GravityMod2 originally developed by C3C076 for THL W8. You can find original GravityMod thread in the link below:
[ROM] THL W8 (4GB/8GB/16GB/W8+/Beyond) GravityMod2 - Android 4.2.1
Of course any credits goes to C3C076 for his rom which I only ported to Iocean, so thank him in his thread/offer him a coffee if you like this rom.
I have been able to test this only on Iocean x7 Youth, but should work on Iocean x7 Youth Turbo without any problem.
Big thanks to voetbalremco for his Bluetooth-nvram patch which I included in this release together with all the other patches I've released so far.
GravityMod2 Features:
- Rooted

Part of these features can be enabled/modified through GravityBox Xposed Module which is already implemented in this rom in its latest version. You'll just need to launch GravityBox app and choose your preferred features. If you don't know what an Xposed module is, check this thread by rovo89.
I decided to change stock launcher to Xperia Z one because I find it smoother on Iocean and has a quite low ram consumption with respect to others.
I strongly recommend you to change transition times to a value lower than 1.0 or even disable them (THL stock values are too high IMO) in order to improve smoothness. In order to do it, enable advanced developer options through GravityBox, go to Settings>Developer Options and change the three transition times to a lower value.
For what concerns GPS you'll need to modify the first lines of /system/etc/gps.conf to make it work in your country. Here you can find servers for any country.
Installation guide
To flash this rom you need a custom recovery as CWM or TWRP. You can download TWRP for all Iocean from here.
Otherwise if you prefer CWM, download the attached CWMrecovery.img for Iocean x7 Youth or this one for Iocean x7 Elite and flash it through MobileUncleTools app.
I strongly recommend you to take a Nandroid Backup before flashing this (or any other) rom.
To install it, follow these simple steps:
Download the zip file of the rom (see Download section) and put it in your sdcard
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (advanced section) and system (mounts and storage section)
Install rom zip from sdcard/external sdcard
Reboot
Be patient, first boot may take longer than usual
Enjoy

Yeah NVRAM ERROR 0x04 is pretty strange because it was present in every custom or stock rom I've tried so far on this Iocean x7. The difference is that in this rom it appears in Settings>wifi. In others roms you usually can see it only when you analyze wifi signal with an app (eg WiFi Analyzer) otherwise it is hidden.
If you want NVRAM ERROR 0X04 to disappear from wifi networks, flash the attached zip file and you will solve
For what concerns music player, are you sure? It works without any sort of problem for me both with internal and external sd card. Have you ever had this problem before with other Iocean roms?
For what concerns TitaniumBackup, you can choose any folder both in internal and in external sd card. You can modify the default backup folder going into Titanium settings>Preferences>Backup folder location and choosing the one you prefer.
I restored my backup from external sdcard and my music is in the external sd card too, both should work for you too (TB will work for sure if you change backup folder location).

Is this cyanogenmod based or stock rom?

This rom is based on THL W8+ stock rom (so not CM). I ported almost completely GravityMod2 which is a modded thl w8+ stock rom, I just needed to patch a few part of the rom to make it work on our different hardware.
By the way AFAIK CM based roms for MT6589 devices only share an interface similar to CyanogenMod, nothing else since Mediatek hasn't released the full android source code (and probably never will). You can get more information about it in the following thread:
CyanogenMod for mediatek devices
Yeah I am unable to get the music player working in most of the ROMs on my iocean x7 ... Music appears in Poweramp and Rocket Player and doesnt appear in default music player, doubletwist, Google Play Music
I get a FC when I click About Phone in settings
Now after flashing that patch file the NVRAM ERROR is gone but my WiFi signals become weak every now and then, even when I am sitting right next to the Wi-Fi

First of all thank you for your feedbacks :highfive:
Talking about the previows patch, don't worry it doesn't affect signal, you should get exactly the same signal strength if you measure it in dBm. What may change is just the number of signal bars shown which is only software related.
To be sure I just tested it in both configuration (without patch and with patch) and I got the same results in the limit of their statistical fluctuations. Here you can find the results I got:
______________Before Patch__After Patch
Next to the router -47 -45
Average distance [-65, -61] [-65, -60]
Far from the router -76 -75
Considering that those results can vary in a minute of about 4-5dBm, this means they aren't affected even if, you're right, after patch less wifi signal bars are shown (just a matter of different configuration).
Talking about music player, if you experienced this with previows roms too, it cannot be rom related, but something else. Try to check /sdcard/.nomedia or /mnt/sdcard1/.nomedia, if you have a file named .nomedia that may be the reason why no track are shown. Otherwise it may be due to a task killer which kills media sincronization for example, do you use any task killer?
For what concerns settings, I know, I will try to solve it but anyways I consider it a low priority bug considering that "about phone" field just shows a few properties of the rom, visibile in /system/build.prop too. Anyways I'll see wether I can fix it!
Yeah the signal bar drop is alarming and there is no .nomedia file and there is no task killer installed
one more problem my real racing 3 data is on my SD card and now the game downloads all the data files again because my sd card is mounted as an external card

If you want I can post you a patch to get back to the previows configuration. By the way, as I said, don't worry because real wifi signal strength is exactly the same. For the music issue, I sincerely don't know, especially because it happened to you with previows rom too and this even has a different base. May it be due to some kind of music app installed which creates any sort of conflict with the stock one?
Thanks a lot for your help I will try experimenting with the music problem to get it solved and I haven't installed anyother music app just using the stock one.

This is great rom. But in antutu I have 11300 score and with iocean basic rom 11700 .

Hi, thank you for your report! I usually don't pay much attention to Antutu scores, because IMO it is often not strictly connected to real usage experience. Even the use of some init.d script may decrease antutu score sometimes, but they can actually reduce lags, increase smoothness and so on.
You made me curious so I just tested my antutu and got a result of 11919 as you can see in the attached picture below, but it's just a number (which varies a lot doing tests in different situations), don't worry about it.
If you really want to increase interface's responsiveness follow those steps:
Launch GravityBox module
Go to General Fixes and enable Advanced developer options
Go to Settings>Developer options and change "window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale" to a value lower than 1.0
I switched them to 0.25, but even 0.5 works really good, it depends wether you prefer accurate animations or fast responsiveness. Of course if you like "beautiful" (but slow) animations you can even increase that number!
Autofocus - Bug fix
Hi guys, I just noticed a bug in the autofocus while using camera which made stock camera crash when trying to focus on something tapping on the screen. If you want to solve it (I bet you do), flash the attached zip below.
Let me know wether you noticed other bugs, as far as I can see everything seems to work now.
I have not autofocus bug. But do you change startup logo to some minimalistic dark BLACK ? In the night is very lightering. With gravitybox ver. 1.8 i can not custom changing sound. Not settings when I press vollup or volldown. Just default sound,I thing that is problem in gravitybox, not in you port. I love this rom. Thank you.
Thanks sambaa it did work for me

Ok! I prepared a flashable zip that removes bootanimation sound, THL bootlogo and changes GravityMod bootanimation to default android one (a completely black screen with just a little animated "android" writing)

That's strange, I tried to repeat the test described in post #7 with exactly the same results before and after the patch (measured in wifi signal bars this time):
______________Before Patch__After Patch
Next to the router 4bars 4bars
Average distance 3bars 3bars
Far from the router 2bars 2bars
If you want to revert back to original configuration(the one with nvram 0x04 warning), flash this. By the way the most important thing is that wifi speeds and signal receptivity remain the same as in non-ported roms.

Well, I actually don't own an htc evo, nor a phone with that feature, but I don't think it is possible to add sweep2unlock to this phone. I'm not sure about it, but I'm afraid it's a kernel related mod (you should ask C3C076 in his GravityBox thread to be sure).
PS thank you both for helping me to improve this rom! :highfive:

Screen Shots:
Thanks bjdanny. This is an excellent ROM, great improvement over the 0713 firmware.
Wifi is MUCH BETTER - better strength, no problem with WPA2 anymore.
Screen transition is noticeably smoother with no jerky movement, but not by a wide margin. I don't have to use TouchScreenTune anymore. Browser scrolling is still slightly jerky (I use Dolphin).
I still cannot get my BT keyboard to work - just like the 0713 ROM, there is no problem with pairing the device. However, nothing happens when I type on the keyboard. I don't use BT headphone therefore I cannot test.
Just like previous firmwares, the GPS can only pick up 2 satellites here in Canada - I used wifi to assist GPS search, and I use FasterFix to change the NTP server to "North America" but has no effect. I understand that this is a Chinese phone and it had been tuned to Asia.
Front and back cameras work fine.
I use MX player which can play to up 720p H2.64 videos stored in the memory card. MX player has hardware support which seems to work. 1080p videos won't show anything on the screen.
I intend to use the X710D as a mini tablet, therefore web browsing is a major requirement. Browsing of regular webpages is really fast. However, I am not happy about the Flash streaming video performance in the web browser (NOT using YouTube app) - if you use the last Flash version for ICS, it cannot play in full screen. I found an older version for ICS which works OK, but it can only play youtube videos at up to 480p resolution (and it may also stutter with some 480p videos). The audio and video may be out of sync. By comparison, my "old" Galaxy Tab P1000 can play streaming Flash videos in the browser smoothly in at least 720p resolution (even some 1080p), and it has a higher screen resolution (1024x600). I know Flash on Android is always buggy and is on the way out, but it will be some time before html5 is perfected and becomes the norm.
BTW the comment about Flash has nothing to do with bjdanny or his ROM. I think that you did not include Adobe Flash player in your ROM. If anyone needs it, here it is:
http://www.iapktop.com/adobe-flash-player-11-1-111-10-android-4-x.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. I notice that the external SD card has been renamed to "sdcard2". This causes problems in some apps eg. Dolphin browser: when I try to make a download folder there, the app says the folder name has illegal characters. Maybe the future ROMs should call the external sd card something like "extsd"?

Thanks slim_thumb for using my ROM ... I can't fix the booth keyboard problem right now because i don't have one...As for 1080p video playback display black screen .try using mobo player with software rendering ...
I will make a gps fix for North America ..
I have done several test on Flash streaming video and can play very smoothly ... i suggest you try play with home wifi in order to find out wether is problem of the rom or the network speed..
Actually samsung has been doing very well on web browsing optimization, because i have a i9003 before...that's why i know that...
I have tested 1080p video flash stream on youtube with youtube app and stock web browser .The result is quite nice...both through wifi and 3g .
My suggestion for you is to play 1080p videos on youtube with stock browser through wifi at home or somewhere with strong 3g signal...
I will release flash-able update to add flash player onto the rom...soon thanks for remind.
I am now working on 2.5 GB phone storage for my rom now...so most of the problems hopefully will be fixed in coming release...Of course, more tweaks and optimizations are coming up as well ...
I flashed your rom last night and im currently putting it through its paces. So far so good. Very fast and respsonsive
Keep up the good work and keep the updates coming :good:
Thanks for the feedback bjdanny.
The streaming Flash video problem is not network related. I use it at home on wifi (15 Mbps) and I have never use it on 3G because I never intend to use it as a phone.
I know a lot of the "problems" are hardware related and they were there in the previous firmware versions. I am very happy with the improvements you've made.
Thank you for your hard work and looking forward to future versions of your ROM! I posted in another X710D thread here in XDA to let people know you developed a custom ROM.
downloading this now, cant wait!!!
i dont want to sound like a spoilt child, but could you port miui to this phone? it will be perfect for this phone

My front camera has always worked.
If your front camera does not work in every version of firmware you tried, could this be a hardware problem afterall?
Have you tried camera apps such as Vignette?
if the ffc works in official rom but not in my rom then i dont know what the problem is because i have tested without problem and so far no one who use my rom say that you may try use 3 party cam app to test the ffc
Sent from my X710d using xda premium
Now, that my FFC is finally working, i am up to new Roms.
flashed this Rom yesterday and everything seems to be in good condition.

I flashed your ROM last night, I'm still testing it, but I wanted to know how did you root your phone? I used the root procedure posted by 'jaw2floor' based on the 07/06/2012 at the beginning of the thread but it has the external SD problem, so then I follow the procedure posted by 'Ratzenberger' to get around the SD problem by flashing just the 07/13/2012;

HEY FOLKS! I have great news! After flashing the X810d with this tutorial, it was corrupting the memory card. Then I flashed the original recovery, boot.img + original preloader and original MBR from the original ROM of X710d (20120410_e1108_v73_jbl1). WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!! Now the device continues WITH root ACCESS and memory card is working perfectly! This will also work with devices X710d too.
The problems i'm having are;
1) Bluetooth to my Plantronics 510 headset works OK when I'm actually talking on it, but if i'm not in a call and the headset is in standby mode it keeps disconnecting and re-connecting every 2 or 3 minutes , driving me crazy!
Bluetooth to my Sennheiser MM450 headset works OK, but 50% of the time when connecting, it won't connect and the phone just shows "Connecting..." and the Bluetooth is gone off into never-never land (BlueTooth will turnoff but won't turn back on) an I have to remove the battery to correct the problem , driving me crazy 2!
2) WiFi won't connect to corporate enterprise wifi use WPA/WPA2 I get "Authentication Problem", or 5GHz networks.
I wonder if what i'm going thru to root is overriding your changes? Do you have a better way to root?
If I can get these two problems fixed the phone would be great, but if not I may have to dump it I really need my Bluetooth, and having to always remove the battery is not cutting it for me! Any help would be appreciated .

I rooted the phone by extracting the rom's boot.img and add su binary & busybox to kernel's bin and xbin folder and put superuser.apk into /system/app
actually you can extract my rom and just flash the boot.img with flashtool i provided on 1st floor to root the phone ...only if you have cwm recovery flashed already
actually using my boot.img not only give you root access right but init.d support and also some dns and sd card tweaks..
i Included some tweaks in my boot.img ...you can check /system/init.rc to check what i have added ...
The best way to solve your problem is either flashing offical rom with my boot.img or simply flash my rom...
Don't ever try to flash rom wasn't built for your phone ...you are always on risks...
If you use my rom ...WPA/WPA2 works perfect. and wifi speed is improved too ..as for the bluetooth problem ....I am currently don't have a booth headset to test with...but i will get one soon...

So what about the preloader, MBR, Recovery, and logo? Do I need these also for the flashtool, and if so can I use the ones from the 07/13/2012, Do you have the official 09/02/2012 rom that I can get them from? Appreciate the help.

- Some apps are there just there to fill the launcher. They don't have any utility (Passbook, Games Center, etc). But they are removable in system/apps/ FIXED
- Can't delete contacts. You just can add or import existent Vcard. If you press cancel the apk will give you an error and crash. FIXED - Settings -> Email, Contacts, Calendar -> Delete All Contacts

Goophone I5 with H2000+ Rom
Hi,
wow sounds great but I killed my pre-installed rom because of wrong SU-rooting...
I'm looking for a complete new rom which is fully Google-ready (GApps, Market,...).
Until now I have the rom from the H2000+ installed but there are problems with the WIFI & Bluetooth connection.
(more I didn't test for now)
So when I try to start one of them activating, the connection will try to do something... but the only thing what happens is that the LED-Flash starts to blink...
-> That means.... sh... I can't do anything...
I also tried to flash the H9300+ rom but nothing happens during boot -> also back for now to H2000+ waiting for a new Rom for I5.
Or has anybody an idea, which Phone has near the same components and an Android-Rom exists?
Thank's for the info's!
Greetings, Svehan

What exact dimension does the i5 have? Is it 1:1 like the iphone 5? I'm considering buying a goophone but there is also an alternative called zophone which claims to be an exact iphone copy dimension wise.
Regarding 3G: the phone supports wcdma 850/2100, maybe your carrier isn't compatible?

Hi!
The goophone is exactly the same size that iphone 5, the color is exactly the same.
the zophone if i were you, i didn't buy it. It has a lot of problems. Some websites are considering about take it out of selling.
Be sure that you buy a goophone. Goophone I5 has more support. And it's better. It has problems on the software, but i hope that they develop a new rom soon in order to fix some bugs of it.
For the previous version (Goophone Y5) there are some ROMS that improved the phone performance. So i think that on this one there will be much more considering the hardware
Can you upload the entire backup of the rom .zip of the goophone i5?
Thanks in advance.

All you need to do is to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and the stock software willl be replaced by your current rom.
Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache after or before the data wipe.

Hi I'm back again...
Thank's all for the Help!
So I tried and tried and tried and at least I installed the Rom from the video at my second post of this thread.
I didn't really know where I could find the Rom (from the video and the orig one) because I had the same problem as tancrazio.
But when you watch the video and pause it when the guy selects the rom - just use google and search and you will find the Rom on some chinese sides.
(Orig: goophone-i5-0107-f-001.zip, Video: goophonei5-0123-f.zip).
Now... all is fine exept Calendar... This one crashes every time, when the system tries to sync it whith the Google-Account.
Maybe I'll deactivate the Loader and use Apex - the Def is sooooooo slow and Apex is much faster and you also have more settings for the Home-Screen.
(have a llok also onto this fine video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WC_LgprgsE - Thanks to colonelzap)
...... that's all for now from my side...
Looking for getting Calendar to work and a better Home-Screen....
Cu, Svehan
I was so ready to pull the trigger on this, but the rom seems half baked. I don't suppose any devs have mentioned getting one of these, would be great to get CM10 running on this.
Hi guys
I hope can help me. I have the zophone i5 and it will not let me get into recovery mode. I can get into the screen where it says recovery mode with the apply logo and it gets stuck and thats it.
Another issue was I thought it might have been the phone so I reset it via factory mode but it is the same and I have lost the apple unlock screen and the slide to power off. I have tried to find what add they were using on my phone but cant seem to find it, does anyone know what its called?
Thanks

Yes the stock rom is halfe baked..but as goophone y5 there will be software updates and new roms...it's just a matter of time
The phone hardware is very good, the only cons that i've to make to this phone is the current software, but oh well, you know, wich phone does not have bugs when it is released?
@Manuxo: How did you fix the Calendar-Sync-Problem?
I still only need to get rid of this problem to get "Online" the phone for my girlfriend...

Stock ROM
This is the stock ROM with nothing changed in it!
DOWNLOAD
Stock ROM + CWM + Root + 1GB apps memory
This is the stock ROM with the following changes:
- Rooted (SuperUser installed)
- ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4
- Apps memory resized to 1 GB & phone storage reduced to 1.55 GB (the original are: 500 MB memory for apps & 1.77 GB phone storage)
DOWNLOAD
H7100 Hardmaster ROM II (29.04.2013)
This one is much better and faster:
- Many build.prop optimizations and fixes (!shown in the screenshots!)
- BRAVIA 2 engine installed
- The stock launcher was replaced with ADWLauncher. The phone has much better performance with ADWLauncher and it is more customizable.
- All Chinese and Weather apps removed!
- Updated to latest version: Google Play Store, Google Search, Google Maps, GMail, DocsToGo
- new apps - MTK6577 CPU Governor Switcher v18.1, Mobileuncle Tools, SD Speed Increase, Root Explorer, GPS Test
Screens:
DOWNLOAD - files for Flash Tool
If you have already installed "Stock ROM + CWM + Root + 1GB apps memory" you don't need to flash with flash tool but you can use this NAND Backup via CWM recovery:
DOWNLOAD
Follow this steps:
- extract the files in a folder. Put the folder in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
- reboot in recovery
- whipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system. If you don't want to loose your apps don't whipe data (but do everything else) but I can't guarantee that everything will be alright.
- don't close the recovery and go to "backup and restore". Choose "restore" and select the folder that you have put in the sdcard earlier.
- wait for the process to finish and reboot your phone
- enjoy
if you don't know how to set up your ADW launcher here is backup of good settings I made: http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/42318800/file.html
Extract the archive in the sdcard root directory, go to the ADWLauncher settings -> restore and select the backup.
!!! Please don't mirror my files! If you need mirror just ask me to do it !!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!! The ROMs are made to be flashed using SP Flash Tool! Here you can find good tutorial that explains how to flash ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587 . Note that before flashing you must turn off your phone, unplug USB, take off the battery and put it again! After that you just hit "Download" and plug the phone in the USB cable. It worked for me, it should work for you too (of course if you have successfully installed the drivers)!
MT65XX Preloader drivers (you need them if you want to flash anything on your phone): http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/12582529/file.html (if the link is dead please PM me and I will fix it)
This tutorial shows how to properly install the preloader drivers!
And don't forget to whipe the data and cache after flashing!

BACKUP / REMOVING PREINSTALLED STOCK CHINESE APPS
You can use MTK Droid Tools to remove the Chinese apps: MTKDroidTools 2.4.3
If some of the apps are still on the phone or you just want to remove another stock app you can use the RootExplorer which is in the phone to remove them from /system/app/ (of course don't forget to set the permissions to Read/Write).
If you want to use MTKDroidTools allow unknown sources and USB debugging on your phone! You will also need ADB driver:
Google ADB driver: http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/98470792/file.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since 2 people have reported a phone brick after successful flashing (or after unsuccessful flashing) I would like to give you an advice:
Do not flash PRELOADER and DSP_BL. Just uncheck them and flash the rest images.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all you need! If you have any problems and questions don't hesitate to post them in this thread
Enjoy and don't forget to click "Thanks" if I helped you!

I am not sure if sceenshots are needed.. this is just the original rom but rooted, CWM installed and the apps memory extended to 1GB. I am currently using it and there are no problems. But if you need I will post a few screenshots that would show you the changes in this rom

Can you post front and back pictures of your phone? They're a lot of H7100 phones (Feiteng, HDC, Start, etc..) out there . So people can compare.

The thread title clearly says that it is Feiteng. And I should also mention that the phone's RAM is 1GB (but i think that the rom should work on the 512MB version too). Anyway I will post a photo of the front and back of the phone and also the sticker under the battery. BTW screenshots are ready and updated in the main post

Little things like 1GB vs 512MB of Ram, could make a difference.

I am 100% sure that the ROM works on 1GB RAM devices, I have made it using 1GB model and it was tested on a few phones. That's the only thing that I can guarantee. I haven't mentioned anything about the 512GB RAM model so ff anyone who haves it and wants to try my custom ROM he would do it on it's own risk!

I don't experience you problems, so other people who used my rom. The only thing I can tell you to flash the rom again, boot the phone into recovery mode, whipe data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats. After that reboot the phone and everything should work just fine. I have flashed the rom myself a few times and it works fine every time.
Probably you had this root problem because you haven't wiped the things I mentioned above. Before I made a backup of this ROM I personally tried root explorer and it successfully got the superuser rights

Sorry, perhaps I explained bad. ROOT works fine but on reboot the ROOTED startup apps do not apply the desired changes. For bluetooth, have you tried? should I send it in warranty?

Well I have MT6577 CPU governor and SD Speed Incrase and both apply successfully on every reboot, I don't know why you have such problem. About the bluetooth ,, I have trued only sanding files and it works, I haven't tried bluetooth speakers or any other devices.
Try flashing the rom again following the instructions I gave you.
Try something else. Run MTKDroidTools and reboot your phone in recovery mode.
Do this operation
actually this operation makes permanent root to your phone every time it reboots. I think that I did this when I was making the rom but try it. If it fixes your problem it looks like I forgot to do it and I will have to make another rom
ok I'll try and let you know, thanks. see that the users tips are always helpful?
we should populate this forum or create a tread for H7100. who knows if anyone helps us also to understand what happens to the bluetooth if you want I can make a video. is this dynamics. switch on bluetooth; I pair the headset; everything continues to work fine; make or receive the first call; all audio becomes very slow until you restart. Anyway I heard others on other forums have this problem. I hope both software. now I try to do the test your reverse: now I try to send any file with bluetooth and see if the sound problem reoccurs.
EDIT: Then, bluetooth issue is only with headset. i tried to send some files to another 2 devices and after worked fine.
FOR ROOT: during the period when we posting here, I installed the androida's rom and supersu (I like more). NB: both the ROMs were installed the same way. installation, wipe DATA, wipe CACHE and wipe DALVIK-CACHE. well, the androida's rom root work properly at reboot.

please read my last post edited. greetings and thanks.
I use a Bluetooth headphone to listen music very often and never have experienced any problem with my H7100, I make and receive calls with it too. (Note: I'm using androidia's ROM0
I have experienced once the problem that audio goes all "slow motion" when watching youtube a long time ago(I wasn't using my headphones).
Pretty much he only problem I experienced is when I have both GPS and WIFI enabled, WIFI tends to stop working and have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
Having GPS disabled fixes this problem (I don't really use the GPS anyways since it rarely locks to a satellite..)

how to download rom0?
I have made new ROM and I updated the link in the main post. I tested it and I am 100% sure that the root works and also applies on every reboot! All features remain the same - CWM, 1GB apps memory and 1.55GB phone storage.
You can try it if you want. Personally I experience no problems at all using it, I can't tell how it would work on another phones. The problem with the Chinese phones is that even with the same model they still can be different. They can make them with different kernels. For example my phone Kernel is 3.4.0, some different H7100 models are with 3.0.31. Probably that's why androidia's rom works for some people and my rom works for others. I think that we should make one topic that includes our both ROMs

Installation guide
To flash this rom you need a custom recovery as CWM or TWRP. You can download TWRP for all Iocean from here.
Otherwise if you prefer CWM, download this CWMrecovery.img for Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo or this one for Iocean x7 Plus/Elite and flash it through MobileUncleTools app.
I strongly recommend you to take a Nandroid Backup before flashing this (or any other) rom. I suggest you to backup your IMEI too. The easiest and safest way to do this is simply writing both IMEI on a piece of paper (you can find them in Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI information).
To install it, follow these simple steps:
Download zip file of the rom (see Download section) and put it in your sdcard - PUT IT IN EXTERNAL SD IF YOU WANT TO REPARTITION
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data (factory reset if you're using CWM), wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (advanced section in CWM) - DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
Install rom zip from sdcard/external sdcard and follow Aroma installer wizard
Aroma installer will give you the possibility to repartition internal sdcard (more available space for apps).
If you choose "Do nothing" option, go to point #6 of this guide
If you choose "Repartition" follow instructions in the spoiler below:
ATTENTION: REPARTITIONING WILL FORMAT INTERNAL SDCARD
Click on "Repartition" and choose desired /data partition size (rom stock value is 1.5GB for any iocean model)
Installation process WILL NOT INSTALL ROM (only resize /data)
Reboot into your ORIGINAL ROM, you should get an error message as the one below (if you don't get this message, just skip this point):
Click on "Reset phone" (this will reboot into recovery) and wait until it automatically reboot into your original rom again
You now need to reboot into recovery to install GammaRom v1.2 (you only repartitioned your original rom so far). You can do this in 3 different ways (choose only one):
Quick way ---> Switch your phone off, connect it to your pc, push power button + volume up button at the same time until you enter recovery
Geek way ---> You can skip Google account login (if asked to login) tapping on upper left corner of the screen then upper right corner, botton right corner and finally botton left corner. Once skipped google signing in, reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Dummy way ---> Login with your Google account (if asked to login) and reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Congratulation, you successfully repartitioned your phone. :highfive: You can now follow this guide from point 3 onwards (wipe data, cache, dalvik and install rom zip) this time choosing "Do nothing" instead of "Repartition".
Follow Aroma instructions and reboot once finished
Be patient, first boot may take longer than usual
Read post #2 to get the best from this rom (do not skip this)
Enjoy

Configuration Guide
Configuration Guide
In order to get the best experience from this rom, read guide below:
AVOID CRAP IMPORTANT!!
Absolutely DO NOT install crappy apps on this rom: NO RAM Booster apps, NO task killers, NO Clean Master, no apps that just consume ram, increase wakelocks and produce lags.
Any kind of task killer will heavily increase lags on this rom whose background apps are already handled by its optimizations scripts. This kinda app will only create conflicts.
Remember to not install AdAway (or similar) neither because this rom has an AdBlock already included. If possible avoid Antivirus too, IMO they're not really necessary on Android.
Resolution Changer
What is it?
This is a series of scripts written by me which will let you change iocean x7 resolution from 1080x1920 to any other value lower than stock. At the same time it gives you the possibility to change dpi according to your preferences.
Why should you use this?
Reducing resolution will boost your performances from different point of views: first of all smoother scrolling, faster interface, lower ram usage and probably even a better battery life (I still need to check this one).
Anyways these scripts are not meant to permanently reduce your resolution, but only in case of need: you can switch to lower resolution when you need to increase performances (for example for gaming) and switch back to stock 1080p resolution as performances boost is no longer needed.
Everything is made completely automatic through these scripts, you just need to launch them and follow instructions.
I know that this could be done through an app, but first of all that app is for pay in my country (that's why I created this), secondly an app consumes ram, this script does not! :laugh:
Is there any drawback?
Yes, lowering resolution will temporarily make your menu, home and back button unavailable. They will stop working until you switch back to 1080p resolution: it's not possible to make them work at lower resolutions, that's why this script automatically enables software keys.
Moreover some apps may not be shown correctly depending on resolution used; here a few examples:
-Xperia Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 720p resoution (720x1280)
-Apex Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 600p resoution (600x1066)
-Swiftkey keyboard doesn't show properly at lower resolution (use GammaRom stock keyboard)
- [...]
You simply need to change launcher/keyboard if the one you're using is not completely compatible with requested resolution.
How can you change resolution?
I made it simple for you, just read hidden instructions below!
First of all launch Android Terminal Emulator app and enter one of these commands (first time you launch this script, it'll ask for root privilages):
Code:
resolution width height dpi
Sets resolution to (width)x(height) and dpi to (dpi). For example you can type in terminal emulator the following:
Code:
resolution 720 1280 320
entering this will set resolution to 720x1280 and dpi to 320dpi that are typical values for 720p screens (Samsung Galaxy S3, ...)
Code:
resolution 1080 1920 480
entering this will set resolution to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi that are typical values for 1080p screens (Iocean x7 stock values, ...)
With this command (resolution width height dpi) You can set resolution to any value you want. Of course be reasonable: you have a 16:9 screen so (height)/(width) should always be around 16:9. You can start from 1080p stock values (1080 1920 480) and divide these three number by the same quantity. For example, dividing by 1.2, another good working command would be:
Code:
resolution 900 1600 400
which will set resolution to 900x1600 and dpi to 400dpi. Everything clear? Hope it is! You can experiment as many resolution as you wish and find out which one is the best for your usage.
In addition to "resolution width height dpi" command, I prepared other 5 easy to use scripts that you can launch simply typing:
Code:
1080p
it's the same as "resolution 1080 1920 480" (reverts back to stock Iocean values)
Code:
900p
it's the same as "resolution 900 1600 400"
Code:
720p
it's the same as "resolution 720 1280 320"
Code:
600p
it's the same as "resolution 600 1066 260"
Code:
500p
it's the same as "resolution 500 890 220"
These 5 scripts (1080p, 900p, 720p, 600p, 500p) can be used with "f" option (where "f" stands for "fast"). Let's make an example:
Code:
1080p f
typing "1080p f" in terminal emulator resolution will be quickly set to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi without any waste of time. Resolution script has a lot of checks that ensures that you know what you're doing and that explains in details what the script is doing. Typing in android terminal "resolution 1080 1920 480" or "1080p" or "1080p f" will revert back to stock resolution in all three cases, but the last one (1080p f) will do it more quickly.
The same for "900p f", "720p f", "600p f", "500p f": they switch to 900p, 720p, 600p and 500p resolution more quickly than without typing "f".
Here's a screen just to give you an idea on how it looks like:
How can you revert back to stock Iocean resolution?
Simply launch Android Terminal emulator and type:
Code:
1080p
or
Code:

In case of issues of any kind that make this procedure unavailable, flash following zip in recovery (only in case of emergency, otherwise use procedure described above):
Emergency_restore_to_stock_resolution.zip
AdBlock
GammaRom has an embedded AdBlocking service which will prevent most part of adverts/malicious websites from showing. Sometimes its action may be unwanted (it may block safe websites that you intentionally want to visit). That's why I created this simple script that gives you the possibility to switch between 3 different adblocking according to your needs.
Launch Android Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
adblock
Folllow instructions and choose your preferred AdBlocking:
No adblocking (Iocean x7 stock rom default)
AdAway adblocking (Light and fast adblocking - Gamma v1.2 default)
Mother of All AD-BLOCKING by BSDgeek_Jake (slightly higher ram usage, but very aggressive and complete adblocking: blocks almost any Ads - Gamma v1.0 default)
Sometimes AdAway and Mother of All Adblocking may block even safe websites from showing; if this happen to you, launch terminal emulator and disable all adblocking (option 1) and enable them again when you want them back (option 2 or 3).
Battery Life
Here you can find 3 advices that will greatly improve your phone Battery Life:
Die Hard Battery Calibrator (by zeppelinrox)
I included in this rom Die Hard Battery Calibrator script developed by zeppelinrox. Follow instructions below to take the max out of your battery:
Charge your phone till 100%
Keep phone plugged in, launch terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
BatteryCalibrator
Follow instructions (wait until phone voltages overcomes 4200mV, then type "A" which will reboot your phone after 20minutes (leave it plugged in still) )
Once rebooted, you can type BatteryCalibrator in terminal emulator again and check voltage and battery percentage (just to check, this step is not really fundamental)
Unplug your phone (shown voltage will go down a bit) and use it the whole day until it turns off (battery percentage shown may not be real since you just deleted batterystats)
Recharge till 100%
Use your phone!
Google Location service
Disabling this will improve your battery life a lot; especially if you don't need it (if you need it, try to keep it disabled when not necessary).
Launch Settings > Location Access > Disable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"
Monitor Wakelocks
I included Wakelock Detector app developed by ahikmat in this rom. This app lets you check which app or service is draining your battery generating wakelocks (high number of wakelocks = high battery drain).
Launch Wakelock Detector app > go into settings > enable advanced mode > Check whether any suspicious/unwanted app is generating wakelocks.
You can find a detailed guide on how to use this app in original thread linked above.
GravityBox
GravityBox is an Xposed module which uses Xposed framework to apply real time modifications to your system. This gives you the possibility to customize your android device according to your needs.
Once you've installed this rom, launch GravityBox app (or go to Settings>GravityBox if you prefer) and mod your Iocean as you wish: most part of modifications will be applied immediately, part of them may require reboot to become effective.
Viper4Android
This mod gives you the possibility to enhance audio quality and volume in a quite surprisingly way if configured properly.
Once installed this rom, launch Viper4Android, give it root access and click on "Yes" at V4A Driver Update request. Choose desired installation type (keep in mind that this will affect battery life) and reboot. Once rebooted you're now ready to customize your phone's audio response according to your tastes: launch Viper4Android and enable Viper4Android features as you wish in the three fields Headset/Phone Speaker/Bluetooth Device.
In order to further edit the audio, it's possible to download (free or paid) some Impulse Response Samples (IRS); see the thread below for a detailed guide and further details about it:
[V4A][IRS] Impulse Response Sample Index Thread
If you're lazy and don't wanna read that guide, just download the following IRS starter pack, unzip it and put all *.irs files in the path /sdcard/ViPER4Android/kernel (this path will be automatically created by V4A app once you install drivers). All these *.irs files will become selectable in Convolver field inside V4A app.
IRS Starter Pack.zip
Xposed Framework
Xposed Framework app has a "Download" section where you can upgrade existing xposed modules (eg: GravityBox) everytime their developer releases a new version or even download new modules from the list to add new features. Be careful though: some of them are incompatible with each other and other are only device specific (Samsung, HTC, ...) and won't work on your phone. Moreover too many xposed modules may slow down system according to my personal experience.
GravityBox already covers most part of other modules features, but another good module is "App Settings" which, for example, will give you the possibility to set different DPI for each app.
GPS
GPS connection had a perceivable improvement with latest kernel and modules and I added some optimizations that will help too. To make it work properly you'll need to modify the first lines of gps.conf in /system/etc path with specific servers for your country.
Inside gps.conf you'll find these servers that work good for Italy:
Code:
# Italy ===============================
NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
If you live in Europe, just edit the first with the one for your country, otherwise you'll need to edit both. Leave all the rest of gps.conf file exactly as it is, just edit these lines. You can find a list of servers for any country here.
For example if you live in Slovakia (Europe) first lines of build.prop would become something like this:
Code:
# Slovakia ============================
NTP_SERVER=sk.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
In order to speed up gps fix, open Settings>Location Access and enable EPO (download epo data too), A-GPS, GPS and launch Location Engineering menu. Once in Location Engineering Mode, go to GPS tab and enable GPS to scan satellites (need to be outside to find any). After a few minutes it should start fixing satellites (first ever fix will take longer) and you should be finally able to use Iocean x7 GPS.
Another advice I can give you is to use Copilot as navigation app!
If it still doesn't work the only way is to modify your antenna (as I did).
Hardware Keys Backlight
This will work only on Iocean x7 Youth clocked @1.2GHz (no effects on any other Iocean x7).
You can turn on/off hardware keys backlight typing:
Code:
lights on
turns lights on
Code:
lights off
turns lights off
Ringtone
You probably still don't understand why I'm pointing this out...well...you'll get it once you receive your first incoming call...I love this ringtone, but probably many of you won't! If you're among them, go into Settings>Audio profiles>General and change ringtone. I recommend you to keep it
That's it guys, flash responsibly! :good:

Yes, you should have both stock camera and lenovo camera, the same for Gallery. If Settings>Viper4Android crashes it means there's no Viper4Android installed. Try to check in app drawer whether you see it or not. I just tried to flash again with TWRP the whole rom on my Iocean Youth and got no issues.
It seems like your installation process had some issues, which recovery have you used? Anyways try to flash back formatting cache, dalvik, data and system, possibly with a different recevoery (I tested it on my TWRP linked in post #1) and let me know :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I tried to flash with CWM recovery linked in post#1 and had no issues even in that case
EDIT2: I flashed starting from different situations (stock youth 0703, stock elite 0722, custom, ...) with different recoveries, but couldn't reproduce your issues on my youth. As I said, try to flash back and don't forget full wipe.
In antutu I have score 10 000 and you ?
Samba haven't tried you ROM yet but just downloaded this ROM from here http://www.needrom.com/mobile/iocean-x7-youth-2/ , its a really nice ROM and finally got CSR racing and empirior warriors 2 working without lags.

Did you manage to reinstall the rom without issues?
Anyways 10000 is not normal, do you have any CPU governor installed? It seems like you're not running at maximum clock.
My antutu on GammaRom is 12899 as you can see in the pic:
Antutu is definitely not important, but check that's everything's fine (CPU clock, background apps,...).

Yeah I've that rom on my SD card, I quickly tried it a few weeks ago. Benchmarks aren't very significant, but as you can see above I got an higher score. That doesn't mean much, if I repeat that test in different situations results will change.
I'll focus on GammaRom for the next period because I prefer to concentrate my efforts on only one work rather than releasing many roms almost equal to each other. For the future I'd rather start from a clean stock rom, and I like Iocean's firmware which is really clean and close to Vanilla android. I tried many xperia roms, but don't really liked them so far. Anyways I still couldn't download Xperia C stock rom to give it a try. We'll see!

You can see a few screenshots in post #1. I took xperia launcher and I slightly modded it, but you can change it if you don't like it (I can give you stock launcher if you prefer). For what concerns icons they are Iocean's stock ones except from some of them which I replaced with higher definition ones taken from thl firmware (email, sms,...).

Are those languages included in stock rom? I didn't touch anything language related (just fixed SMS app FC for Netherlands).
If those apps crash it means they're not installed. Flash again the whole rom with full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system) and check if you have Viper4android and GravityBox installed. If you don't have them it means the rom wasn't installed properly (need to riflash).
Not sure why some of you is not getting /data partition properly installed, I'll investigate further, but I need to know which recovery you are using. I've tested them on both recoveries linked in post #1 with no issues. Which one did you use?

hmm I think it would be great if this rom had aroma installer so we can choose to install other apps etc, even though we can use a root uninstaller. just a suggestion though, this rom already works perfectly. Oh and forgot to mention earlier, I get much better wifi signal with this rom. From my room I used to get 3/5 now I get 4-5/5!

Frequently asked questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question 1) Is this Rom Rooted? I do not see SuperSU icon.
Answer: This ROM comes with another Super User software called "KINGROOT" and you will find KingUser icon in rom
Question 2) Icons Missing. After installing new Apps, I do not see new shortcut icons in Application Drawer. How to see them?
Answer: This is known minor issue of Trebuchet (The included Lollipop Launcher) The simple resolution is as follows.
Go to Settings >> All Apps >> Trebuchet >> Force Stop.
Now go back to Launcher and you will see all missing icons appeared.
Question 3) WhatsApp and other apps are not restoring data backup from previous rom. What to do?
This rom does not come with Swapped Memory Partitions. Hence copy WhatsApp folder from External SDCard to Phone Storage. Clear Data of Whatsapp from All Manager. Now it will recognize backup and will restore.
Question 4) Why Gmail and other Google apps are not syncing data?
This rom lacks GPS fix at this moment hence Google fails to get location. Just go in Settings and disable Location (GPS). Now GMail and other Google apps will start syncing
Question 5) Rarely or Occasionally Phone Network drops for few seconds.
Inherited Issue from CM 12.1. If this is just after Flashing rom then, simply Disable Location and Reboot. Otherwise just enable Airplane Mode and disable it. Network will be stable.
Question 6) GPS / NFC / FingerPrint is not working!
Yes I know! Wait for some time for the fix.
Question 6) NFC and FingerPrint Features are not working!
The port version of CM 12.1 I selected for Auxus Note does not have FingerPrint scanner feature. Hence it can not be added. NFC is disabled for some technical issues but I am sure you do not need both features for the sake of CyanogenMod 12.1 Porting CM for Dual Sim MediaTek devices is not easy task. It takes months of work hence I thought these are not worth wasting time which may delay project for another 2/3 months. Hope you understand. Thanks !
Question 7) After flashing your rom my IMEI numbers are lost and phone lost its network. How to restore my IMEI numbers of phone?
Due to mismatch in Radio files mismatched between the roms of two different chipsets, you may lose IMEI on some roms after flashing. Do not panic or worry, it can be restored easily. Remember for DUAL SIM phone you need to restore both IMEI numbers, which are found on your Invoice (Bill), Product Box or below Battery)
METHOD 1) Restore your own IMEI numbers with this amazing APP. Read warning carefully.
WARNING: DO NOT SHARE YOUR IMEI WITH ANYONE ELSE. Remember, using FALSE IMEI numbers is illegal in any country and it can put you in JAIL. These days they are tracing culprits for terrorism threats. So please use this app to restore your own IMEI only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelephon&hl=en
METHOD 2)
Restoring NVRAM BACKUP taken with MTKDROID TOOLS which you can flash with SPFT Flashing tool.
a) Watch this video to know how to take backup of NVRAM of a working STOCK ROM with the help of MTKDROID Tools. You must know that NVRAM backup file stores your own IMEI Number. Do Not share it with anyone else. They will restore their phone with your IMEI number and will put you in trouble.
_____ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tttvKlWTwc
.
b) When IMEI is lost flash this only single entry of NVRAM with SPFlash tools
WARNING: DO NOT SHARE YOUR NVRAM FILE WITH ANYONE ELSE. It stores your IMEI Number.
Separate XDA Link:
Question 8) Can I play heavy Games on this Rom? (Why some games run slow on this rom?)
The rom in optimized for less battery drain hence CPU is generally in PowerSave mode or Balanced Mode.
This setting is in Settings >>> Battery >>> Battery Mode >>> ???
Gamers should change Battery Mode to PERFORMANCE mode while playing games to get full power of CPU.
After playing games changing battery mode back to BALANCED mode or POWERSAVE mode will be best idea.
Question 9) Sometimes phone lags.
This is a known issue in Beta 12 (first release) still WIP. The quick workaround is reboot the phone in Recovery Mode and clear Dalvik Cache and Cache one a day in middle of a day.
Question 10) Sometime rare camera do not work. Camera keeps showing front camera and no option to change back to rare.
This is known issue and quick workaround is as follows.
Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> Camera >>> Clear Data and Remove Battery then switch on. Camera should work now.
One more workaround is restart the phone but if still does not work then reboot the phone in Recovery Mode and clear Dalvik Cache and Cache one a day in middle of a day.
Question 11) Flash icon disappeared in camera and can not use flash.
Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> Camera >>> Clear Data and Remove Battery then switch on. Camera should work now.
Question 12) Sometimes Network is dropped and does not comes back.
This is fixed in BETA 15 but if you still experience it just enable Airplace mode and again disable it. This may happen frequently in remote locations (rural areas or areas with weak network)
Question 13) Battery 1% problem . Battery was charged a lot, but after rebooting or returning from Recovery mode the battery started showing 1%.
This is known battery synchronization bug in previous version of Recovery. If you are on Version 2 of my TWRP 2.7.1.0 you may not have this problem.
But even if you are on latest recovery and you get this 1% battery issue, then do a simple solution.
Workaround (a) Connect Charging cable to charge phone, Power Off and Power On Normally without removing power cable. Works!
Workaround (b) If above does not work, then Start phone in recovery (twrp) mode, plug in power cable and keeping the power cable connected, restart the phone in normal mode (also called system mode, Reboot to System).
The phone will again show normal charged count. Usually doing this only one time should solve problem.

Hi CMahendra,
thanks much for your work and efforts with this ROM. I do not mind NFC and fingerprint missing but GPS fix is a vital feature. When are you planning to fix GPS as for the moment this is a showstopper for this ROM?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your reply. GPS is important for me too. I am working on it. This is Beta Version and may have some minor bugs. Things will be all perfect when I will release final version.
BTW I am using it for business use and there is no other problem for me while using it. If it lags for some time, just restart and within 30 seconds phone will behave normal Could not work on it for few days due to main job. BTW I do not believe in declaring ETA. Thanks
I flashed lollipop os bt ma cel too heated & sometimes runnings very slow plzz halp me Mahendra Chavan sir i like too much this os bt sometimes faced this problem plz help
Rear camera is not working even after trying your workarounds... Also, what's up with home key? (I am talking about the one bellow the screen, not the onscreen one) It's not working, when u touch it, it vibrates, but doesn't do anything. Another thing is that when u reboot the phone, battery shows 1%, even when it's fully charged. Other than these things, the ROM is quite nice, but wouldn't recommend using it on daily bases.. At least until these bugs are fixed.
Thank you for the awesome rom and for your endless efforts. Downloaded the latest Beta 14 build and will report bug if any shows up.

Rear camera is not working even after trying your workarounds... Also, what's up with home key? (I am talking about the one bellow the screen, not the onscreen one) It's not working, when u touch it, it vibrates, but doesn't do anything. Another thing is that when u reboot the phone, battery shows 1%, even when it's fully charged. Other than these things, the ROM is quite nice, but wouldn't recommend using it on daily bases.. At least until these bugs are fixed.

Thanks for reply.
Camera works fine but sometimes it changes to front camera for which workaround is given.
Home key on navigation screen works perfect and homekey on phone is not working but both do same task so you can ignore all keys on phone hardware below.
Phone battery shows 1% because you have wrong version of Recovery installed. Read Thread and FAQ carefully.
I already mentioned rom is in beta stage and still work in progress. But I am using it as daily driver. Though Memory Leak (hangs after 4 hours) and GPS are only two known bugs with this rom. So wait for some time if you can not stay with these two.
No need to recommend this rom to anyone. If any courageous person want to try, he/she will do so on their own

Thanks a lot for response to this rom. I am using this rom as daily driver. Memory Leak (hangs after 4 hours) and GPS are only two known bugs with this rom and I am trying it to resolve asap. So please wait for some time. Thanks :good:

Heating while flashing is common issue and you can ignore it. Running slow sometimes is called Memory Leak and it happens after 3/5 hours of use. I am working on the issue. You can restart phone to make it smooth again. Please wait until next update.
Isn't there a way to fix the hardware home key? I mean, since we're all used to the resolution, the software keys are a bit annoying and personally i just disable them (why would u want buttons, that take extra screen space, when u have hardware buttons that do the same exact thing). Also, camera does not work even when given workarounds are used. Also, I forgot to mention, that I came from Elephone P2000 community, maybe that is causing the weird bugs?

Ok sir i am waiting
UPDATE: CM2ROM LOLLIPOP: I think the memory leak problem is almost solved. Now phone is not hanging and much more faster , responsive all the time and no reboot required. No slowdown so no reboot Still will do test for a day and will release a small patch, if successful.
EDIT: Real good results. Changes Confirmed. After 8 hrs of new changes in framework files and new init.d scripts, phone is super smooth and I have at least 25 apps in recent app. I am Not even deliberately trying to clear them .
*Using heavy apps alike FB , Messenger , WA Lollipop version, etc and no lags at all Releasing patch tonight or tomorrow morning
