A510 Custom Light Stock ROM Odexed
built on Acer_AV041_A510_1.099.00 and
NoThrills WorldWide optimized Stock ROM
I made this rom for my personal use but I want to share it with you
First of all, I'd like to thank you NoThrills for his roms and recovery
This rom is very close up to his, so take a look at main features on his topic
Here's what's changed:
rom is fully ODEXED (speed up boot and default applications)
default launcher replaced by HoloLauncherHD (JellyBean like launcher)
screen sensitivity bug "removed" (tablet will always start with sensitivity set to high)
olympic stuff removed (wallpaper removed and bootanimation set to iconia tab)
all Acer applications removed exept Ring, Print, DolbyMobile and DRMVideoPlayer
AmazonApps, FileManagerHD, FlashPlayer and TitaniumBackup added to flexrom
all apps up to date on 2012-10-02
Phone services removed to save more battery
original Acer kernel
Installation:
If you don't have it already, install the CWM-Based Recovery.
Download the ROM from this post and put the .ZIP file on your internal or external SD Card.
Start Recovery by powering down your device, holding the Volume down (**) button and turning it on again.
Make a Nandroid Backup. Select backup and restore and choose one of the backup options.
Select wipe data/factory reset. Select format /flexrom in mount menu.
Install this ROM by choosing install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from external sdcard.
Wait for the installation to finish and select reboot system now.
DOWNLOAD

yes you can but NoThrills doesn't provide it as a flashable zip, you'll have to do it yourself
and you 'll lose the fix for screen bug sensitivity because it's include in my stock kernel

no because by default you'll have the same as the default launcher
you just have some jellybean option and other features, take a look here

yeah french dev here lol, but I'm more a modder than a dev
and it will be my first and last rom for A510 ... I'm selling it

ouch, why ? not satisfied with it ? (how much ? seems acer does not want to send mine back ..)

not totally satisfied with touch screen, too hard to play emulators or games that need to press more than 4 fingers ....
in any case for the price it's a good product ... but I prefer using the Asus transformer. I'll send you more details in french by PM

I have the same..want to sell it too. It's not the product that I thought it would be. Maybe gonna buy the TF300 with keyboard. I hate the touch problems.

You may try to copy /data/data/com.acer.android.acerring/lib/* to /system/lib/* -this file may be not needed by older AcerRing version or it can be extracted during first boot (this is system app after all, "market apps" do this during installation only)

good idea I'll take a look tonight if I have time
also some feedbacks are welcome

No root in this rom?

Hi,
what means "•Phone services removed to save more battery" ?
Is there really more battery (about 30min - 1h) or only 10min?

Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk are removed, it's about 20~60min in standby mode or 10min in use
it's also less memory used, a better stability I think
But without it you can't do a factory reset from setting menu (use recovery instead)
and I think it will block the OTA checking
but with a custom root rom you don't need this features

I had using ur rom for 1 day, everything good :good:
Thx so much for ur hardwork.
Thx for remove the useless phone feature in this rom.
Maybe u can try Go Laucher HD, all free n nice.

go launcher is good but not stable
I prefer hololauncher because very close to stock and fully optimized for ICS

I've just updated the post with a small update acer ring is now up to date and odexed in the rom
no needs to wipe if you have already previous version I think ...

So library was missing? Works from /system/lib or you had to add symlink/script to copy it?

[SC-02C] Any Rom Patcher by Simmo [Updated : 2013/06/16]

Simmo's SC-02C Any Rom Patcher
with special thanks to wjchen0 for the ntt gps kernel module
Tested and working with ICS and JB 4.1.x
JB 4.2 works, but requires a Siyah based kernel or a kernel designed specificially for the SC-02C, such as KBC.
Please press the Thanks button if it works for you.
Code:
Modem: SC02C-OMLPL
Apps: ClockworkMod SuperUser
Busybox
Tweaks: Set NTP server (jp.pool.ntp.org)
Free tethering (tether_dun_required=0)
NTT GPS & compass fix
Facebook ContactsProvider database patch (is_restricted=0)
Black camera viewfinder fix for the Docomo rom
CyanogenMod APN xml (with spmode)
Samsung JellyBean fonts (incl. Japanese)
SP-Mode Mail with Push & Docomo Account Authenticator
Docomo emoji library
How to get a working JellyBean rom.
Root your phone and install a custom kernel. Reboot into CWM.
Download a custom rom. I recommend WanamLite or NeatRom.
Download my tweaker.
Install the rom first, then my tweaker.
Reboot, then you're done.
Note : You must install the tweaker every time you do a full wipe.
If you are running Jelly Bean then you can install CommuniCase by Docomo, instead of using SP-Mode Mail.
Changes:
2013/06/16
Updated the DcomoAccountAuthenticator to work with Docomo CommuniCase.
Added support for Docomo emojis in keyboard that use it.
Reverted to the OMLPL modem, as I found it works better.
2013/02/04
Updated the system modules and modem from the latest OMMP4 rom.
2013/01/28
The gps module has a bug that cuases the system to hang at the docomo logo.
You must install this new update to stop it happening.
If you already have the "stuck at docomo logo" problem, download the new tweaker and install on top. It deletes the corrupted file.

Works great
Great tweak. Working for me so far and I had a few issues myself. I will say that in order to get the ROM (I'm using Wanamlite 14.0 and the 23 Toggles) and the tweaker working properly I did have to do a full wipe.
I will just recommend that anyone who wants this to work BACKUP - BACKUP - BACKUP.
I also used Titanium Backup (correctly - Thanks Simmo :silly: ) to backup all user apps. Don't worry about the system apps - the ROM takes care of them.
My order of installation -
1 - BACKUP your current ROM - again - BACKUP your current ROM
2 - Use Titanium Backup (use this guide) to back up your user apps so you can get them back afterwards. When using Titanium Backup for the first time on a new ROM, you may get the message about using the phone's original ID, ignore it, let it use the new one.
3 - Follow SimmoF's instructions in the first post
4 - Reboot and enjoy.
Thanks again to SimmoF - buy him a beer.

Then it obviously appears that it is not the ROM or the tweaker causing the problem. Please be sure that you have the right Tweaker B version and boot into recovery and run it through again.
If not, I would say try again but after the ROM installs let it reboot before installing everything else. Run through the google setup stuff, don't do the samsung stuff, skip it.
Then go in and only restore user apps. I always thought I knew Titanium Backup well, but, as Simmo pointed out to me, I was wrong. Go ahead and JUST RESTORE YOUR USER APPS - NO SYSTEM APPS OR DATA. You may also have to go in and set your apn to the spmode.ne.jp .
This is what worked for me. After you have done that and just the ROM and your restoration works, test with a few reboots. Then go and get the tweaker file again. Just to be safe.
I know that, myself, if I let everything settle and check for running operation, then install the 23 toggles, tweaks and sp push files, it works.
If you get stuck at the boot logo AND you have downloaded the Tweaker B version of the file before wiping again - try to boot into recovery and just run the tweaker file as suggested.
DON'T GIVE UP!!!
It's a very smooth ROM. So far...

Re: [SC-02C] Any Rom Patcher by Simmo [Updated : 2013/01/28]
Finally set up everything.
Trick is not to use titanium back up to restore data.
Btw how can I use other kernel ?
And any suggestion for battery
Now on wanamlite Rom with simmon tweak.

Run a disk checker.
If on windows. Mount as USB device.
Open a command window on the PX.
Run the command "chkdsk driveletter: /f"
That should fix it. If it says partition type is RAW, then something strange happened and it needs to be formatted.
If your internal /data partition is damaged, you need to do something different. Tell me a If that fixes your problem.

how is your battery consumption\ for wanamlite?
I know this rom is great but the battery really decrease too fast. Even I close the mobile data and wifi. It drops around 5% per hr. compared to cm9, it is far too high

XXLS8 has issues. the XXLSJ leak is much better actually.
I recommend going back to the leak or going to cm10.1
I am playing around with cm10.1 at the moment.
XXLS8 sucks.

Re: [SC-02C] Any Rom Patcher by Simmo [Updated : 2013/02/04]
I've been trying to download your tweaker on and off now for about two weeks. Tried different combinations with different browsers to no avail.
Every time I click on the file, it just opens up and shows the files in the zip. Its pretty to look at but .....
Can you not just upload to xda???

I had the same problem. It's not the zip file that is a problem - it's google drive
First, I am assuming that you are doing this from the phone itself.
I used Firefox and this is what you need to do -
1-Click the link to download the file and once you are in the directory where you see the zip click on it.
2-It will open and show you the contents of the zip - don't worry
3-Click the menu key on your phone and one of the choices listed will be show as desktop or something like that - click it
4-Let page reload
5-Now at the top of where the zip file is shown, you will see some menu choices - File Edit, etc.......
6-Click File and I think the bottom choice is download. Click that and it should download the zip file.
It will give it a random name but you should be able to get things figured out from here.
Please thank me below and make sure you get simon (or Me - haha) a beer.

Is it also for OT991D with dual sim? If not, can you change it?
Why there are in any custom Rom differences, because if i look at the Alcatel-Upgrade-Tool (OTA), there is only ONE download for BOTH versions, 991 and 991D ?????
Oh...and how can i change the integrated Holo-Launcher with Go launcher? With normal installation (theni have two launchers) the phone is mega slowly :crying:

As for changing Holo Launcher with Go Launcher,i don't know if it's a good ideea(it "eats" a lot of memory),but if you really want to do it,here are the steps:
1.Firstly,you need link2sd installed
2.Install Go Launcher then go to link2sd
3.Search for Holo Launcher,choose it and then "Actions" ->select "Convert to user application" -> Ok
4.Now search Go Launcher and do the same steps,only that you have to choose "Convert to system application"

6.Reboot your phone
That's it!You have Go Launcher as system application and main launcher!

I´m very sorry, now i see your answer some days ago,too. Please, do not make stress to you and take your time quietly. Changing the laauncher was very easy, but, as you said, eats a lot of memory, so know i´m using holo again

New problem: I made of course a CWM backup of my phone (Stock ROM rooted with my apps) and never problems with restoring it. But after flashing " gradu CUSTOM ROM v1.0" i decide to wait for "v2 DUAL SIM" and till Gradu2012 has made it, I want to use my old ROM.
So i made the restore with CWM (frst Wipe data/factory reset,and wipe cache partition, of course), but the phone now hangs in a boot-loop and also still has the gradu-boat-animation and Sound, instead of the original one....WHY it´s not possible to recover and how can i repair this- the boot-loop?? (New flashing of V1. is no problem and the phone is booting correct, but i want to use my backup!)
Edit: Now i recover with OTA (One Touch Upgrade Tool) to factory version, root it again and then: no problem to recover with my CWM backup...but no idea, why its not possible after installing the Gradu--ROM????

So i made the restore with CWM (frst Wipe data/factory reset,and wipe cache partition, of course), but the phone now hangs in a boot-loop and also still has the gradu-boat-animation and Sound, instead of the original one....WHY it´s not possible to recover and how can i repair this- the boot-loop?? (New flashing of V1. is no problem and the phone is booting correct, but i want to use my backup!)
Edit: Now i recover with OTA (One Touch Upgrade Tool) to factory version, root it again and then: no problem to recover with my CWM backup...but no idea, why its not possible after installing the Gradu--ROM????

Wait wait wait...firstly:did you get any error while making bakup before installing gradu CUSTOM ROM ?
And: After wipe factory/cache partition did you select "make backup recovery -> recovery ->yes" ?
For logo image,if it's not working with recovery,you have to flash your logo.img in Flash Tool.
Let me know EXACTLY what doesn't work.

No, and as i said, with the rooted stock Rom installed, the backup can be flashed back without any errors

I don´t know, what you mean- i didn´t made a backup from YOUR ROM. First the phone is in "factory-status", original. Then i´m rooting it, install my apps and change colours, settings, etc. and then I boot into CWM and choose "backup" to make a "home base" with the must-have-apps and settings.
And what ever i do in/with this ROM (i.e. init.d support, install/deinstall apps, changing launcher and so on) i EVER can flash back my backup without errors.
BUT when i flashed YOUR ROM and make the first settings (language, etc.) and then think: "OK, nice, but I need my Dual Sim and therefore want back to my "base", i boot into CWM, then first i choose wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvic cache- then i choose "recovery" -> yes and choose my backup file. The recovery process finished without any error, then i choose "reboot system now" and...boooooom....the phone hangs into a boot-loop, the boot-animation and the music starts again and again and again....
Maybe you think: aaah, he has a 991D (Dual Sim), but my ROM is for single Sim....nope, thats nothing to do with it. "Jeffta" made a Custom ROM for Dual Sim very similar to your ROM (two zip files to flash) and when i install this one, test it and want to go back to my base, i have the same failure- bootloop after recover my backup.
At this point there is (for me) no other way than to push the akku out and flash the unrooted original ROM with "Alcatel upgrade tool, root the phone, flash CWM and after all of this, i finally can flash back my "base backup" - the phone then boots normally and after 1 Hour i have back all my apps and settings :crying:
[/QUOTE]For logo image,if it's not working with recovery,you have to flash your logo.img in Flash Tool.[/QUOTE]
While bootloop, i had done this. I flashed back the original logo.img, and after reboot i first see the original picture (this green monster...lol), then starts your bootanimation (like a video) with your music and starts again and again and again......
I hope you understand me/all of this, my english is not so good (Germany).

Ok,i really don't know why is this happening.I installed it in my phone and restore my original backup and i don't have any problem(like boot-loop).Anyway,if your phone is working now with your original rom,wait for the one i will make for 991D.
P.S: For changing the bootanimation,you have to install Root Explorer then acces your system files like this: select "system" file -> "media" -> "bootanimation".There you have to find your original bootanimation.Copy it into your pc,unzip it and check the images you find in file1 and file 2.If it's not your original bootanimation,search it into "custpack" file -> JRD_custres -> "media".Make the same thing like with the other one.If this is your original one,replace the one you have into "system" file with the one you've found in custpack.
Let me know if you succeded.

Yes, my great master, I succeded. Yes, I tried it although I spend hours again to restore first the Alcatel original and then my backup :crying:
BUT its advantage is that I now know a trick to speed up the Alcatel Upgrade: This tool downloads directly from the Alcatel server, every time. So i was looking into OTA Dir and there was a "dowwnload" folder...but empty. Ok, i thought, the files were deleted after recovery. So i made a cup of coffee and do the upgrade procedure again and afterr the download, but before flashing, i copied the download folder to another place. :highfive:
And NOW i only need to copy the saved ffiles into OTA dowwnload directory and the tool is upgrading in about 5 minutes, not in 1-2 hours..jeeeeehaaaa
Ok, and now it´s your turn, i have a brain twister for you. The OTA is downloading 10.100 ".bin" files !!!! (yes, ten thousand and one hundred). Are YOU capable to make sweet two zip files (as by your ROM) with these original bin´s, that would make it very easy to recover. Or is there onother way (maybe for me, too) to make these 2 zip files from my running system or my backup??

[ROM] [5.0.1] [I9502] sasiskas ROM For Galaxy S4 Duos [CUSTOM]

sasiskas 5.0.1 ROM for Galaxy S4 DUOS I9502
First of all, let me tell you the story and the philosophy behind this ROM.
The story: One month ago I bought an I9502 because it was the best dual sim phone for it's price. Unfortunately it is oriented for the Chinese market so it is full of Chinese customizations and apps. And since there are no International-oriented custom lollipop roms available, I decided to create one by my own.
The philosophy: The rom is based on my personal preferences, I just share it because why not! Since I am not a samsung software fan, I removed almost every samsung bloatware. And Obviously removed all the chinese crap and customized everything I could in order to make the rom more international.
The ROM is based on a the latest I9502ZNUJOC3 firmware. In order to save some time I found the official ROM Deodexed from romzj.com and customized it to my personal taste.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Deodexed (by romzj)
Busyboxed (by romzj)
Rooted (by romzj)
Replaced Boot animation from China Unicom to Samsung
Removed almost all Samsung apps
Removed all Chinese apps
Added Google apps
Xposed
Camera shutter sound on/off
Added advanced power menu
3minitBattery
Network Stats On status bar (settings->connections->more networks->Network Traffic)
Removed Baidu location consent
Replaced location service from baidu to google
Removed SIM icon from status bar in order to save some space
Removed Sfinder and Quick connect from Pull down menu
In SMS app, replaced sharing location from mo.maps.com to google maps
Replaced Chinese keyboard with multilingual S6 Keyboard (all languages available)
Replaced file manager with S6 file manager
Added optical reader from S6
Added weather from S6
Added KidsMode from S6
Removed Chinese search engines from stock browser
Maybe something else that I don't remember
All languages are supported.
Modified SMS/MMS app, Replaced sharing location feature from chinese maps to google maps
Removed Airplane mode confirmation dialog
Added Application Permission option (app ops) in settings->more->security
KNOWN ISSUES
If you go to "settings->security->sim change alert" the settings app will crash. Generally some items in settings menu are not working because they are linked to Samsung Account, this happens because I removed Samsung Account, I left the settings there in case someone wants to reinstall Samsung Account.
After boot, Touchwiz might crash one time. I'm not sure what causes this issue, but I don't mind since I use Nova Launcher. If you want you can help me find the source of the problem. Fixed in version 1.1
Messaging app crashes Fixed in version 1.2
Contacts not recognized in messages or when receiving a call. Fix according to your country.
Generally the rom is VERY stable, and I have no issues so far.. (I use it since July 2015)

-It is now, uncompressed because compression caused issues with TWRP
-Fixed TouchWiz crash, due to video widget

-Fixed shadows of weather widgets

You can't because you dont have enough free space.
You must flash stock ROM, then root, then remove as many Chinese and Samsung apps as possible, then install "Gapps 5.0.x PICO" .
Pico is the smallest version of Gapps ( including only basics google apps) , but it is ok, you can install any google app you like, later from google play store.

It is strange when i unpack your rom on my SD twrp is not seeing it as a backup.
I had to make a backup and then delete everyting from that folder then put your files inside and only then i can do a restore, but restore fails.
I will try once more. I follow your instructions to the letter but for some reason it is not working for me.

That happens because TWRP sees only the content of TWRP folder that is generated inside your SDcard. I should have mention that but I forgot.

Did you try the second method I described? it should work.
Sorry for the trouble but I don't have a second device to try it, and on my device it works fine.
Awaiting your feedback

Ok first because i didn't had lollipop flashed only bootloader and twrp after. When i tried to restore twrp didn't see your folder so i made a small backup first and i then deleted it and moved your files into that folder. Twrp then saw the files and it restored boot, preload but when it starts to restore system it has some strange progression, it starts from 0MB to 172836928327MB and it is always on 0% no matter how much MB it restores, it reaches around 1500MB then it reports Failure. I will try again and will post the log.
Also when it failed first time i have downloaded full rom from your post, i have updated the phone, it boots normally. Same china baidu crap all over it. I again flashed twrp and repeated the procedure.
Wipe data / cache. Wipe system and i try restore but it fail again.

I juts tried it and it works fine for me.
I'm uploading a new Version V1.1. You should better try the new version.
This time it is complete backup, not just system
It is not compressed, maybe the compression was causing problems
Fixed some bugs from previous version
And I'm also trying to find a way to make my ROM as a flashable zip, for easier installation, but I have no idea how to do it at the moment.

can you confirme that more locale is working??
