Iocean x7GammaRomHello everybody, I prepared a new custom rom compatible with ANY Iocean x7 based on latest stock firmware for Iocean Elite (02/12 version). I implemented Aroma Installer from Gamma v1.2 onwards and rom zip is now the same for any Iocean x7 (Youth, Youth Turbo, Plus, Elite).
Read carefully first two posts before flashing in order to get the best experience using this rom:
post #1 is related to rom's features and installation instructions
post #2 contains a brief post-installation guide on how to configure it at best.
Report here your feedbacks both positive or negative, they'll both help me to improve this rom in the future! :highfive:

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:
1080p f
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.
And guess my antutu score ? 12677 !!
Humble request Samba , any chance you can have a look at this ROM and make and improvement on it ?
I have got and Iocean Youth also and so far that's the best ROM I have found in terms of stability , gaming and benchmark .

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?

No, no fix of any kind needed so far! It's based on Iocean Elite's stock so it mounts partitions exactly as stock

Great Rom so far , nice and smooth i like the fact you can also choose ring tones from mp3 nice work :thumbup: , btw what's the terminal emulator for ?
Sent from my iOCEAN X7 using xda app-developers app
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!
Sambaaa said:
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?

because both these apps are taking around 8MB of internal memory...
I did delete them.. without any issues. So it would be better if you delete them from the next release. To add some more space

What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.5 ?
Kernel -
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.2 Satndard (no OC) kernel is the default.
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.2 OC/UV kernel can be chosen through customized installation if you want to overclock/undervault your device.
DSP Manager -
Took MIUI's latest (2.3.23) DSP Manager and fully translated it to Hebrew.
Added 3 snapshots to this post.
Super Booster -
Free memory on demand by closing all core services to simulate a reboot.
Use this if you're getting small memory (70MB and below) and task manager did not help.
I recommend using it with GO task manager widget if you use GO launcher EX.
Added a snapshot to this post.
What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.4 ?
Screenshot taking functionality added to power MOD.
When long pressing the power button you now get : silent mode, flight mode, power off, reboot, recovery, download and Take Screenshot!
If you choose 'Take Screenshot!', screenshot is taken and locally saved in a 'ScreenCapture' folder on your SD Card.
This is completely AntonX's work, specially & specifically for this ROM users. We just added the Hebrew strings. Thanks AntonX !
See attached images below for how it looks like, sorry about the quality (taken with a @#$#$ iphone).
What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.3 ?
Aroma installation -
Installation options : Quick installation / Customized installation.
Quick installation defaults - Sidekick KD1 modem, AntonX's Basic with a twist 1beta3 kernel, Hebrew Valhalla logo on boot, Hebrew dialer and Hebrew Google maps.
All these are simply changeable through customized installation.
Kernel -
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1beta3 kernel is the most stable and reliable kernel for our device and it's ideal for the common user.
If you are a heavy user/gamer or you want to extend your battery life, you may choose to install AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.0 OC/UV kernel.
With it you can overclock or undervolt your device - see "voltage control" below for a recommended configuration.
Adrenaline Shot V14.1 + V15 mixmatch
Took Adrenaline shot V15, added 02journaling and 04sysctltweaks from Adrenaline shot V14.1.
This constelation gave us the best results.
Special note - 04sysctltweaks script is handling with cpu governor and scaling, so if you choose OC/UV kernel on customized installation - it will get deleted to avoid collisions.
If you chose the regular kernel and decided to switch to OC/UV kernel to OC/UV - make sure you delete this script via root explorer or similar prior to OC/UV.
Voodoo and DSP
both mods are allowing you to enhance your audio experience.
'DSP Manager' is a system app already installed.
'Voodoo Sound' is located in the bonus apps and needs to be installed.
Recommended configuration :
Tune In radio - Set DSP Headset EQ as Enabled and on Acoustic, set Voodoo Sound volume limit +2db , Bass boost on, 5db gain.
Stock music player - Set 'Dance' EQ and 'Music Clarity' effect in stock music player, set Voodoo Sound volume limit +2db , Bass boost on, 5db gain.
Voltage Control
If you use the OC/UV kernel, you should use this app to control your overclocking\undervolting definitions.
install it from the bonus apps folder.
Recommended configuration - First page : sio scheduler, smartassV2 governer, 100-1100. Second page : Undervolt all voltages by 25mV.
With this configuration you will get extended battery life, slightly better performance and negligible heating.
BacklLight Notification Control
Use this if you want the backlight buttons to flash as messages notifications.
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Visidon Applock Best face unlock app in the market.
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Set it to lock your launcher and teach it your face for 3-5 shots. It works pretty good.
It comes with a defined numeric combination as an alternative.
Please note it takes up to 10MB RAM, so don't leave it active while playing heavy games...
SD MAID
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Comes with a set of tools, something like CCleaner or Regedit in Windows.
Good to maintain the healthiness of your device once in a while.
My StreetView - An external Google Street View browser.
Samsung Galaxy S 3 Wallpapers
Check your SDCard\SGS3 Wallpaers folder or launch your Gallery.

Announcements
We decided this ROM will go FINAL in July 2012.
By then I'm planning to release both HebMIUI and HebSlim.
Please inform us of any problems that you are running through.
Non Hebrew speakers can use this ROM as pure English as long as they :
1. Keep (Default) English locality.
2. Uninstall PortalPhone, Hebrew Calendar, Debrew-It, (ID3 Fixer).
3. Replace Hebrew bootanimation (system\media\bootanimation.zip) with this stock ICS bootanimation.
4. Replace Hebrew dialer (system\Dialertabactivity.apk) and Google Maps (system\Maps.apk) - can be taken from Valhalla Final ROM or Lumin30's 2.3.6 APK repository and replaced with RootExplorer.
5. Other debloated system apps can be taken from Valhalla Final ROM or Lumin30's 2.3.6 APK repository and replaced with RootExplorer.
6. Don't forget to fix permissions in CWM afterwards.
Blue note - these steps can be done through custom installation since version 3.3.
For HebrewValhalla 1 & 1.1 - Making a Nandroid Backup
Search the forum for Bali 3.3 kernel.
It's a Froyo kernel but it will serve us for backup and restore.
Search the forum for KJ1 kernel (the one currently included in this ROM)
Download both kernels CWM flashable zips & make sure you have these
on your SDcard along with the Super user and super user binary updater zips.

While I am unable to read Hebrew, I have seen tons of thread related to getting it working properly on the SGS4G, so excellent work both of you! Its always great to see our wonderful phone get another ROM to add to the already fantastic collection.
I do have one question was there an issue with bhundven's KJ6 kernel and the Hebrew modifications done to your ROM? Is that the reason why you included drhonk's KJ1? Or is it performance related?

Thanks Guys! i was looking forward for a version for my T959V
Hi Fish72, long time no see.
It thrills us to see we can contribute to you, after all the explanations and guides you've given to the Hebrew SGS 4G community.
Your Froyo redux and GB Valhalla 1.2 guides have become the only Israeli SGS 4G place to go and get it figured out.
Hopefully this ROM will ease our lives, and i couldn't have made it without Alon, (who unlike me is an actual developer) and jumped into this project with no hesitation spending this significant time and effort.
Awesome. Glad to see you guys got it all figured out .
Great work guys! It's great to see all your hard work pay off! Grats!

Is this changeable back to English via Settings-> locale and text? or is it just in hebrew. I am wondering because if it is configurable, I will add support to AOSPStyle.

Also, How does "Hebfix" work, because if it changes english to RTL, then I won't port it.
Thanks for all the greeters!

Hi Airfluip!
I tried your suggested method for resources swapping, but something didn't work there. On next version we will look deeper into it.
Regarding your question, all system apps were just added values-iw, xml-iw and raw-iw in the resources.
You can try it with your method. It doesn't affect if you have English locale selected.
Regarding the framework, i think it ran over another locale (i see it between French and Italian).
No problem to choose English instead.
Please don't forget we also replaced some fonts and libs for the right to left support.
If you want we will share with you all our resources.

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
- Busybox
- Sysinit support (for init.d scripts)
- Updated Google apps
- Google Now included
- Chinese apps removed
- Updated APNs
- CallerID mappings fixed in Phone calls and Messaging
- CyanogenMod Circle Battery
- Auto-hide of signal icons for empty SIM slots
- No annoying "SIM card not inserted" notifications
- Power menu reboot and recovery
- Fullscreen caller photo (thanks to kadan)
- Multiline contact names (thanks to kadan)
- Volume key cursor control
- Recent apps clear all button
- Internet Calls support (SIP)
- OTA updates via GooManager
- Engineering mode accessible from Settings / Developer options
- GravityBox - centralized app for additional customizations
--- Status bar tweaks (QuickSettings tiles, additional tiles, background color and transparency, ...)
--- Lockscreen tweaks (custom background, maximized widgets, ...)
--- Power tweaks (advanced power-off menu, low battery warning policy)
--- Phone tweaks (flip action, disable vibrate on call connect, fullscreen caller photo)
--- Display tweaks (minimum brightness setting, autobrightness settings, ...)
--- Hardware key actions (action on menu long-press/doubletap, back key long-press)
--- Media tweaks (more volume steps for music, skip track using volume keys)
--- Other miscellaneous tweaks
--- General MTK6589 fixes

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

Click to expand...

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?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

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.

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.

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:

DISCLAIMER: Your assumes at your SOLE RESPONSIBILITY & RISK all results produced by the "software" and/or instructions in this thread.
.
> Rom's Notes.
Who installs this Rom, accept it "as is".
Contains just the apps and options installed.
What you want to add will have to be obtained from Google-Play or any other sources.
Please, don't report bugs if you are not using the installed Dhollmen Kernel.
In case of questions or comments, you must indicate additional apps, tweaks or installed "optimizations".
if you insert images, do it in a 'hide' tag. This hide your image until an user click to show it.
I assume you has installed a suitable Recovery and know how to perform the required steps.
Keep in mind that Antutu and others related apps give you very similar values, regardless of the Rom used.
In such apps, OC influence on speed, but its goal is to evaluate the hardware, not the Rom.
Don't use any kind of overclock before three consecutive stability test in Antutu.
> Rom take a long time to boot after installing.
It is quite normal if ART runtime is used as applications are self-compiled at first boot time, after installing a new Rom or changing to ART.
> Applications are slow to start after installing.
It is quite normal if ART is used because apps have self-compiled before first use.
Although it may seem at times, the Rom is not hung, just have to wait.
> Get Root access.
In Settings app, entering development option and select Root access.
If you don't see these items, we activate:
Touch repeatedly on About tablet > build number. From now on, initial setting screen show that option, plus Performance.
> Get Performance access.
If you don't see these items, we activate:
Touch repeatedly on About tablet > build number. From now on, initial setting screen show that option, plus Development option.
> Google Apps (Gapps).
All Gapps packages available are virtually identical.
Only differ, from each other, in the amount of installed applications.
Two different packages must be never installed as likely to cause Google applications FC.
The Dhollmen Gapps, being valid for any Rom, are specifically adapted for installation on it.
> Viper4 - Convolver - IRS.
This application controls the System Sound FX.
It also includes a number of advanced pre-equalizer settings (made by others) that are the IRS whose installation files requested.
Access to Convolver (manager of the IRS) is obtained by selecting the option Expert in Experience Settings.
Using another equalizer (provided by external applications) usually interfere with it.
You can only have one active equalizer in the system, but if you want to use another one, kindly Viper4 can be turned off.
> Restoring backups.
It is very common Titanium Backup (or similar) problems in Rom.
If backup /data partition are made and, after a change of Rom, restored, usually side effects will occur.
In this directory and subdirectories it contains, there are many configuration files and internal databases.
When it comes to a specific application should not be a problem as long as it is not part of the Rom.
When sub-directories containing settings are restored, the likelihood of problems increases exponentially.
For example, all Roms have a Settings application, but the content of his configurations differs between them and is not interchangeable.
Under no circumstances you should restore /system partition apps.
Loving this Rom! It's like a super carbon Rom, great work! I like the keyboard, ribbons working for me, everything feels great! The only problem I am having is with IR blaster, doesn't seem to work, but besides from that I am really enjoying this. Thanks!!

Get titanium backup, once in 4.3 you may need to correct the backup location of you use the internal default.

Tuxafgmur, congratulations on the rom release! I was just looking for a new rom also. The"controversial" release on the previous carbon thread was amazing, I'm sure this rom will be great.
Will this work in the P5113???

The best app (imo) it's nandroid manager, you make a backup just of your data into recovery, then with this app you will be able to restore all app and more. Works great.

Yes, if a rom works for p5110 it does for p5113
Has anyone tried on the P5100 ? How it works ? :good:
I am currently on Pac-Rom 4.2.2 and it works great so I wonder if it is worth crossing to the carbon? Can you lift the processors clock and what is the native speed of processors?
What is the difference in keyboards : Keyboard Tng 20130928 and Keyboard AOSP 20130928 ? Can anyone upload pictures of them so I can know wich one I like more?
THX !
Hey All,
Thanks for the hard work with this ROM, I would like to try it however I have a totally nOOb Question
The short of it is I acquired a SGT2 10.1, but not sure if it's rooted, booted into ODIN mode and shows count 2 - current is official Samsung 4.0.3 from memory maybe 4.1?
Do I need to root the SGT2 how to confirm if it's already rooted?
When I look at the steps to root the device, it's seems old and outdated as the files recommended have newer versions so it's not clear.
To use this particular ROM, do I need CWM or philz touch, if Philz touch, there lasted is blocked due to violation trying to grab the tar version, yet the zip was ok, however trying to root the device via ODIN 1.8.5 to select PDA philz, can't see the zip as it's expecting .tar
Just want to make sure before I brick this as I am trying to set it up as I've not touch Flashing in ages
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Team
(UPDATE 02/11/15)Version EMUmIZEROCompleta......full EMUI3 Experience!
For a SUPERLEGGERA (superlight) version of it check this thread: EMUmIZERO SUPERLEGGERA
******************************************************************************************************
INSTALLATION using ROOTJOY:
For the ones who prefer to flash the rom with ROOTJOY:
1: Download the Rom zip and replace " updater-script" inside folder "META-INF\com\google\android" with this one(unzip it before)
...now flash it by selecting the new created zip in rootjoy....that's all my friends...
******************************************************************************************************
INSTALLATION using CUSTOM RECOVERY (FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS TO AVOID ERRORS) :
1:DOWNLOAD Rashr - Flash Tool from Google Market (to flash Recovery)
2:DOWNLOAD ROM
3:DOWNLOAD RECOVERY(NEW VERSION WITH FIXED PARTITIONS LAYOUT)
4: Now select the downloaded recovery with a file explorer (Rashr - Flash Tool will ask you to flash it as recovery & reboot in recovery mode)and flash it
-------------------IMPORTANT STEP----------------------------------------------
5: Once you are in recovery mode make a full backup of your actual rom.
THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE MY TWRP MAKE A BACKUP OF VITAL PARTITIONS WHERE IS STORED IMEI,MAC ETC...
it's a good idea to copy the backup folder on your PC, it could be very useful in future in case of problem with missing IMEI and other trouble...
-------------------IMPORTANT STEP----------------------------------------------
6: Now ( note:due to the fact some people had problem during this step in TWRP-Settings select "Use rm -rf instead of formatting.")select: Wipe-Advanced Wipe and tick: Dalvik Cache,System,Cache,Data.
7: (Without exit from recovery) Select Install and choose the rom zip (on upper part of the recovery screen you can select Internal Storage or SD Card).....
....reboot....
....OK!....now you are on EMUmI!

BUGS&TIPS
BUGS:
....probably you will find "G750-T20" or "Huawei" in some places:this is needed for the firmware to working(many libs and function refering to those names)
........
TIPS:
NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10 (& random WLAN MAC ADDRESS) ???....HERE THE DEFINITIVE SOLUTION
To download Themes and Songs remember to have simcard inserted and not to be in "Flight Mode":Those apps need to access your IMEI number to finalize autentication..
EMUmI is PREROOTED but there isn't the Supersu apk,all apps needing root will work well,i suggest to install SuperSu(from market) only if you need to manage apps permissions..
The rom is FULLY ODEXED (more stable&fast)....so is not reccomended using Titanium or similar app to remove and then restore apps:It will remove the related libs from system but it will not restore them...so i suggest to use it only if you know what you are doing..(to reinstall an app you need to extract the libs from his .apk and copy them to system/lib again.....)..however you can restore "Only data" of apps without problems.
Many Google related apps are not present(tts,search...)first of all to gain space,second because they are often updated....if you need them you can download from Market without problem..
How To Enable On Screen Soft Buttons:modify this line in build.prop:
#qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
TO
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
(remember to left an empty line at the end of build.prop!)

Can you share some pros/cons compared with stock 3.05?
Hi
