CWM recovery | Custom Clean ROM | Tweaks for Android watch phone Z1 (MT6516)

Z1 (brand unknown) is wrist watch phone with Android OS. It was first released in 4/2012 and it is Android 2.2.1. It has WiFi, AGPS, GSM/EDGE, 2 MP camera, mic, speaker, loudspeaker, capacitive touchscreen, display of 320x240, SDHC & SIM card slots etc.
As most Chinese phones it has SoC from MediaTek, MT6516 (armv5).
See my Czech review for photos: http://hodinky.blog.mobilmania.cz/2012/06/z1-hodinko-telefon-s-androidem/
Tweaks/tips for stock ROM (2.2.1)
Market/Google Play is missing in stock rom but it cam be added if you follow instructions on the page: http://www.ibuygou.com/p-z1_smart_android_2_2_watch_phone_gps_wifi_bluetooth_html-3638-usd.html (included in Clean ROM)
Default DPI is 120 however most controls are too small. Change it to 160 which will make all icons sharp. (included in Clean ROM)
Typing on tiny QWERTY soft keyboard is a pain, Flit Keyboard makes entering text much easier. (included in Clean ROM)
To enter engineering mode, dial *#*#8787#*#*
ADWLauncher EX works even better if you (see):
Disable all animations including scrolling homescreen
Disable dockbar and use swipe up instead (included in Clean ROM)
4x3 icon layout for home screen and 5x2 for drawer (included in Clean ROM)
Use something like Extended controls for toggles
Use No Lock if you don't need swipe to unlock feature.
Remove alternative Chinese markets and Chinese network account/sync providers from /system/app (included in Clean ROM)
Creating flashable dump
Use MT6516 BackUpTool for dumping your stock rom.
Use MTK_Rom_Studio_1.0.0a for converting dump into flashable format.
Flashing
Basically you need the driver: "MT6516_YuSu_USB_VCOM.inf" and flashing tool: "SP Flash Tool v1.1110". All tools can be found on the internet when searching for "MT6516 flash tools". The only necessary tools reuploaded can be found also here. (I'm not sure about the legality of these tools though.)
You have to use 32 bit Windows (I only tried XP in both VirtualBox and VMware but it could work with 32 bit Vista or 7).
Power off the watch, connect it directly to PC (no USB hub or extention cable) - new device will connect for few seconds - use it to install the driver. Unplug watch. (You may retry that few times because the watch disconnect within few seconds) Open flashing tool and select files to flash (I would recommend not to flash anything other than boot/recovery/system/data/logo), hit start and quickly connect the watch - flashing will start automatically.
Recovery
First build of ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8 seems to be working however all its features were not tested yet!
Recovery can be flashed with "SP Flash Tool" (use provided scatter file).
Rebooting to recovery from launched Android using "reboot recovery" works but I wasn't able to find working button shortcut to launch recovery directly from cold start. Please help me if you find a way!
Custom Clean ROM based on stock 2.2.1
Features
Removed alternative Chinese markets and Chinese (social) network accounts
Integration of Google apps (sync, Google Play, setup wizard etc)
DPI changed to 160 which makes the watch easier to control and the icons sharper
Preconfigured ADW Launcher, Flit keyboard
Includes root with Superuser, Busybox binaries
Minor clean-ups
So far this ROM doesn't include anything power user from XDA wouldn't be able to customize but this ROM is afford to save other users time with experiments.
Important notes:
Backing up your current ROM + data is highly recommended (use the above listed MT6516 BackUpTool)
The seller says you shouldn't do factory reset because of IMEI lost - I can't confirmed that - IMEI is kept even during factory resets so it doesn't seem to be stored in user data partition. BUT backup your current ROM anyway cause I might be wrong.
Clean ROM notes:
The first boot is slow. After the first boot, I recommend not touching the watch for 5-10 minutes because dalvik cache is rebuilding in the background and the setup wizard may lag a lot.
The default ADW launcher is configured to not have app drawer button - swipe up to open drawer
Known issue (to be fixed later): Because of DPI change - Bottom row of button in Dialer is smaller, however all buttons can be pressed
Known issue (to be fixed later): Because of DPI change - Superuser (root) confirmation dialog buttons aren't readable however the buttons are partly visible and can be pressed (press bottom left button to allow root acces)
Known issue (to be fixed later): Because of DPI change - There is small graphical glitch on the lock screen which however doesn't break anything
Flashing recovery is not needed at all. Just make sure you flash both partitions (it will erase all your data on the watch but not on SD). Follow instructions above on how to flash.

CM ROM
WIP, first build of CyanogenMod 7 (2.3.7) booted so I continue testing/evaluating. So far I only used stock kernel but I have source for MT6516 kernel.
Notes: WiFi chip - MediaTek MT5921 - no open source driver
Currently on hold.

Z1 Android Watch-Phone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z1_Android_Watch-Phone
ff

Ive been thinking about buying the watch to use as a mp3 player, would you recomend it?
Sent from my NWZ-Z1000Series using xda app-developers app

Yes, I'm plugging my website, but hey, it's relevant.
I've just reviewed this device at:
http://linuxslate.com/Review_Z1_Android-2.2-Watch.html

Everything in this thread has been helpful, I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
DPI at 160 looks great. Unfortunately many apps will not fit, including keyboard, phone, and superuser prompt. Either find alternate keyboard and set superuser to auto-grant, or switch back and forth between 120 and 160 as necessary.
I like No Lock, but I find the phone wake-locking all the time until I turned No Lock off. I also like the fact that the time is there in big letters on the lock screen. It's very suitable for its watch functionality.

I did a manual backup without rooting (No need for Z4 Root)
Download and unrar MT6516 BackUpTool, but do not install anything.
On the Linux/Mac box, open the gscript folder, and open back22.sh in editor, or viewer.
Connect the watch via USB, and connect via adb shell
Cut, paste and execute each line from the back22.sh file
up to and including the last dd command in the first section - in other words
Code:
.
.
.
.
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd11 of=/sdcard/backup_/expdb.img
Obviously, you don't do the comment lines.
exit the shell
Code:
exit
do:
Code:
adb remount
Install yaffs2image:
Code:
adb push <your_path_on_PC_to>/Install/BackUp/yaffs_back_2.2/gen/mkyaffs2image /system/bin/mkyaffs2image
Code:
adb shell chmod 4777 /system/bin/mkyaffs2image
(Again, the above is a cut and paste from the script)
Code:
adb remount
(for safety)
Code:
adb shell
Then cut and paste the remaining 3 mkyaffs2img commands.
Then:
Code:
exit
Copy the backup_ folder on the SD car to someplace safe.
If you want, you can remove mkyaffsimg:
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell rm /system/bin/mkyaffs2image
Code:
adb remount
It's definitely more steps, but it leaves the system technically un-touched, un-rooted, and even returnable if you should have to.

Some more useful apps.

Orientation control to lock the screen in landscape mode; not free but worth it.

Opera mini has server side compression so makes best use of the slow 3g speed, but no multitouch so zooming is difficult.

It can be done, but the MotoActv might be better, because the motoactv has a headphone jack so you can use any headphones you want. On the Z1, you have to use bluetooth headphones or a bluetooth headphone adapter.

I just ordered one of these last week, should have arrived today ... glad to see this exists!
Other than configuration/display-size issues, does everything work, i.e. all hardware? I noticed you had a note about the Wifi driver not being open source, but I assume that more effects if you try the MT6516 kernel. Even if it's a closed binary, I assume you could still load it and use it though. I'm not expecting any leaps and bounds in the kernel department.
As for CWM, is any part of it executed at cold boot? If so, I imagine you'd need to implement some kind of timeout menu that could optionally enter recovery before booting the watch. This is similar to what was implemented on the Kindle Fire which also doesn't have a normal stock recovery mode.
I assume you're still evaluating CM7 so you're not ready to distribute it ... but I do hope to see more from you soon, especially a HOWTO and download links!

I spent many nights trying to make GSM or WiFi working. Except few tweaks I only got the modem to start but nothing more. I have no experience with porting of binary drivers and this device has so many of them. Radio/modem and kernel modules - there are no problems with them but there are just too many dependencies on proprietary libs even from standard android native binaries.
So I'm giving up. At least for now cause I just don't have enough knowledge.
I consider making custom rom based on stock Android but I don't know if there would be any demand. Proper integration of Google apps, Chinese apps/account providers removed, tweaked launcher/drawer settings, tweaked global dpi/dpi of apps that not fit...
To have at least something, I give you very simple app "Z1 Backlight Toggle" apk (attached in 1st post) which can turn off completely display backlight. (Needs root) I use it on my bike when I have navigation running all the time cause it indeed saves battery and backlight isn't needed at all under direct sunlight, the display is readable the same.

That's fine, I understand how frustrating these things can be. But still, can you post information about how to backup / restore the firmware and how to flash a custom ROM? I might try playing with it myself sometime and at least having the knowledge would enable further experimentation.

WTF!!!! a wrist phone with Android OS.... This is so freaking cool!!! :thumbup:

I have an idea ... if we can get the MTK6516 kernel to build and boot, that's one step. If we can then get Android 2.2 stock to build, and then compare it against an image of the Z1's file system, we should, in theory, be able to identify all the unique areas of the watch's Android setup. If we at least know how to build an identical watch Android from source we should be able to extend that into making Cyanogen Mod work ... or something else. I think it's worth a shot anyway!
Also for an identical kernel, there shouldn't be any need to "port" binary drivers ... ideally they're built-in or load as modules, same as any other drivers.

You're probably right there will be very limited demand. So I ask again, if you can at least post steps about reflashing the watch, I'll give it my best shot. I just want to be sure I can restore the watch after messing around with it. Which I'm guessing you were able to since you didn't claim any permanent damage. It seems it should be able to go into a factory restore mode which I hope will override any messed up systems.

It really is neat. Kind of limited, but really neat. I think if we can get any amount of control over the kernel and Android version, we can really extend the abilities of the watch. It just needs a chance...

In my opinion there's no problem with kernel, modules or libraries, we can just reuse them. The real issue I think is native android binaries such as wpa_supplicant or rild. We can either use (original) already built binaries or build new ones - but this is the problem... Original binaries depend on proprietary libraries so they "do something" important with devices. Newly build binaries just don't have that unknown functionality. Yes, reusing stock binaries might work for 2.2 but my only target so far was 2.3 since that would be real benefit for us.

No idea what he's using, but I'll say that Sygic worked when NOT navigating (doing a route caused it to force close, I'm guessing possibly out of memory??) Using OsmAnd works pretty well ... of course, it's Open Street Map with all the usual limitations.

Sygic 10 works nice with Z1 using 3D maps.
Sygic 12 works nice with Z1 using 2D maps.
When attempting to navigate Sygic 12 with 3D maps enabled,
the Sygic 12 crashes and Z1 returns to Home screen.
Correction..
Sygic 12 works nice with Z1 using 3D maps
only when Autozoom is turned off:

I consider making custom rom based on stock Android but I don't know if there would be any demand. Proper integration of Google apps, Chinese apps/account providers removed, tweaked launcher/drawer settings, tweaked global dpi/dpi of apps that not fit...
Click to expand...

That is exactly what needs to be done! If porting the binaries is not possible at the moment, why not go ahead with building with stock android, with proper google account and apps, and removing the chinese accounts.
Once you have tweaked launcher/drawer, tweaked dpi of apps that not fit etc done, it would be almost as good as running CM7. Any improvement would be a big improvement
I sincerely hope that you continue development, the demand for a stock ROM is sure to come as the device becomes more popular, as of now, there is nobody developing for Z1, that i know of.

I started cooking custom ROM based on the stock two days ago and I'm very happy with it. Proper integration of setup wizard, google apps, keyboard, dpi, orientation, better preconfigured launcher, working voice search etc.

The Google Now for ICS Project -THREAD II- [UPDATE 8/5][APKs AND ZIPs]

***THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY FOR ANDROID 4.0 ICE CREAM SANDWICH! THESE APPS ONLY WORKS IN ANDROID 4.0! DON'T TRY THESE ON OTHER VERSIONS!***
So, first and foremost, Not I, or anyone else is responsible to any damage you do to your device. You are renaming/modifying system files so if you screw it up you are RESPONSIBLE, NOT US. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Follow the instructions in this post and you should be fine.
BELOW YOU HAVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARMv7 AND ARMv6 SEPARATELY, BECAUSE ARMv6 HAS ONLY A WORKAROUND FOR VOICE! SOME USERS SAID THAT ON THEIR ARMv6 DEVICES, VERSION FOR ARMv7 WORKS, SO YOU COULD GIVE IT A TRY, IF YOU ARE ON ARMv6!!!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARMv7 DEVICES (I repeat, you could give it a try if you're on ARMv6)
For ARMv7, there are some APKs and some flashable ZIPs. So I will give some information for everyone!
APKs for Google now: ATTENTION>>ALL O THESE APKs SHOULD BE USED WITH OTHER FILES. YOU HAVE TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS<<
• Download LennoxPackage.zip from http://www.mediafire.com/?8lv1h2879q925x1 It is not a flashable ZIP!!! Do not flash this in recovery!!!
• Extract all 3 folders from LennoxPackage.zip to a new folder on your computer
• Then download and replace the Velvet file in the app folder of your new folder with one of the following Velvet.apks. The Velvet.apk from Zip don't working!!!
• Move the folder you've created (with 3 subfolders) to your SD Card
• On your phone, in /system/app/, rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.bak using Root Explorer (or something similar)
• In the folder you placed on your SD - you'll need to move everything from the /app/ folder to /system/app/, and set permissions to RW/R/R for each of the 3 .apks
• copy the files from the lib folder on your SD, and paste to system/lib (note, a couple of these already exist. Before copying these files go through /system/lib/ and rename any existing files to include .bak, then copy/paste new files. If you don't do this it will paste them with '- copy' as part of the file name). Change permissions of these New files to rw/r/r
• rename the existing "config" folder in /system/usr/srec/ on your phone to "config.bak", then just paste "config" and "en-US" from the srec folder on your SD to /system/usr/srec/. Some, also changed permissions on config and en-US to RWX/RX/RX
• Reboot and enjoy. (of course, your System partition should be mounted R/W -read/write - to move files in it)
And now, the APKs :laugh: >>
1. The no double take APK. The most of these APKs, shows Google Now Cards twice, one after another. This problem is solved in this APK, but it has another problem>>sometimes, you have to move your fingers on the screen for showing up the Cards<< Here, the auto-launch function should work!!!
Here is the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1240357&d=1344043690 !!! Enjoy it! :good:
2. The one with no double take and no blank screen. This one eliminates the double take problem and the problem with white screen when you don't see Cards and you have to move your fingers on the screen. But it has another problem>>it eliminates auto-launch function because it refresh automatically the screen for showing up the Cards and there is no transition animation (for those that don't know, auto-launch function is that function that you can see when you say something like>>Navigate to ...<<A blue bar shows up and it loads and automatically does that action, in this case, opens the Google Maps Navigation and schedules your navigation details)
Here is the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1242492&d=1344147549 !!!
3. The first voice-functional version. This one has double take but it should't have blank screen problem. It sometimes has auto-launch, sometimes not, from what I heard from users.
Here is the link>> http://www.mediafire.com/?ij9tsfg5jitm8ep !!!
4. A new version from mikeyxda. This should resolve the double take problem, auto-lauch and white screen, but it has some problems with the showing up of the cards on some phones, as I saw at you, guys.
Here is the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1243199&d=1344183455 !!!
5. A new APK from mikeyxda. Oh man, you are completely dedicated! I like that!!! Keep it on this way!
This APK should resolve:
1. No double takes
2. Web results display properly: no font stretch or invisible results
3. Action countdown fully functional
4. "Refresh" is always available via a press of the Menu button from the cards view
Here is the download link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1243421&d=1344190796
More information here>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29824319&postcount=8.
The choice is yours!!! You will choose the APK that is working for you!!!
**Removed per original authors request*** ~TRM
And we are done with ARMv7 devices!!! :good: Oh, man, this will be big :laugh: !!!
TIP FOR ARMv7 DEVICES>>>***LONG PRESS ON MICROPHONE BUTTON FROM GOOGLE NOW, NOT JUST A SIMPLE PRESS, THIS WILL HELP YOU SO MUCH TO AVOID PROBLEMS !!!***<<<
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARMv6 DEVICES (of course, if you have an ARMv7 device and methods for ARMv7 didn't work for you, you could use this, give it a try!!! This should work on almost every device with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwitch!!!)
These are the current instructions:
1. Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2. Rename the "Velvet-Thes0o-5.apk" that you downloaded ( http://www.mediafire.com/?hbtjvbzwbbaf3yj ) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3. Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4. Reboot and enjoy!
OR
1. Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2. Try to install the downloaded .apk off your sd just like any other .apk
OR
1. Flash this .zip through recovery -- AOSP ONLY
Here is the link>> http://goo.gl/svDEF !!!
To make Voice Action work (this is just a workaround for ARMv6 devices -if is needed, I repeat, for ARMv7 devices- that will listen to you, but it doesn't give you voice responses, just repeats what you said) you have to use these instructions:
1. Download the "Voice Search for Google Now!" app from here>> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388416/GoogleNowVoiceSearch.apk !!! and install it!
2. Either open up the app, hold down search or tap on the dedicated widget that comes with the app to launch the voice search
3. The app will use ICS's voice-to-text engine to get your answer, and then enters it into the Google Now app. All you have to do is hit enter and then congrats, you've got working voice search!
So, to get it working, open Voice Search for Google Now (after you installed Google Now with above instructions for ARMv6 devices), click that microphone button, say what you want, the app will open Google Now, you will see that what you said is written in Google Now, press Enter on Keyboard, and you will see the result.
***>>>NOTE FOR ARMv6 VERSION: THE VERSION FOR ARMv6, DOESN'T VOICE-RESPOND TO YOU, IT SHOWS UP RESULT, BUT IT DOESN'T READ WHAT IS WRITTEN IN RESULT, IT JUST REPEATS WHAT YOU SAID!!! THE VERSION FOR ARMv6 HAS DOUBLE TAKE!!! YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED A PREVIOUS WORKING VOICE SEARCH, LIKE THE ONE FROM GINGERBREAD OR HONEYCOMB, TO HAVE THIS THING WORKING. YOU COULD DOWNLOAD VOICE SEARCH VERSION 2.1.4 FROM HERE>> http://www.mediafire.com/?r9b47dcirtt8m98 <<<***
INFORMATION!!!>>>
FIRST>>THANK YOU very much to all the kind people who are providing the modded .apks and .zips for us. I can't account for every single person but thank you all for helping with the effort.
Second, I will try to update this post as frequently as possible, but its so difficult to keep up with you, guys :laugh: !!! Any 'info dumps' in PM's would be appreciated.
For those of you who are complaining of no cards showing up:
You Have to understand that Google Now works by gathering information about where you are, what you search for OVER TIME. You simply can not expect it to have all of the information you want in a few minutes after you installed it, wait for it a few days, just use the Google search like you would usually and it will start to fill in!
Devices this will NOT work on:
-Devices that are running anything before Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
-Devices not running an AOSP ROM (in most cases, try anyway and report back)
-iOS Devices (Suckas!)
Secondary voice widget:
If your ROM doesn't support a persistent search widget, this will allow you to still have a search widget that also ties to Voice Search for Google Now app
(and its color customizable for you, themers out there).

Ugh. At the risk of people think I'm "bombing" these threads with Velvet.apk versions, I have one more version today. Every time I think I'm done, someone mentions another path or "case" where I'm able to make a correction/improvement. The one attached here is hopefully my last for today and it corrects the fact that the "Refresh" menu option is not available if you go straight to the Google Now cards without first doing a search. Now "Refresh" is always available via "Menu", so to sum this version up, it does the following:
(1) No double takes
(2) Web results display properly: no font stretch or invisible results
(3) Action countdown fully functional
(4) "Refresh" is always available via a press of the Menu button from the cards view
Tips:
Searching from cards view: results are heard but don't display
If you use the small mic from the cards view window, your search will work but the results are not displayed. Simply press "Menu", "Refresh" to display them.
Searching from cards view: getting back to the red mic search window
If you are on the cards view and you want to get back to "the big red mic", just press on the small little mic on the cards view window and immediately after, use "Menu", "Refresh" while that mic is still active and it'll refresh the mic to the main/red search mic and you're back in business. "Menu", "Refresh" refreshes whatever action is currently going on so if you do a "Menu", "Refresh" while the mic is listening, it'll refresh the mic to the red mic and you'll be back on the search window.

Sweet!

To show cards have to be language default english in settings?

I don't think you can install the apk like a regular app. You can use adb to push the file out to your phone or use root manager to replace the velvet.apk in system/app and change the permissions.

Nice thread, hopefully someone would look into getting this fully functional on ARMv6 devices. It works somewhat but very buggy. I think it has something to do with display

We need a new video the one on there is old, new thread, new everything lol
I'm gonna try to make one

Has anyone had any (consistent) luck with sports cards? Right now I only have one card: for the Tampa Bay Rays. If I reboot the phone, sometimes (maybe 1 out of 10 times) I'll get the little baseball in the notifications and it'll notify me about game results after it's over. But... I never get a notification that the game has started. Never get updates when the score changes during the games. Is this a known limitation of the ICS port? I have the settings checked to "low priority" so I should be getting them consistently but I've gotten maybe one out of a dozen and... only when I reboot. For now, I've just turned the main on/off switch for Google Now to "Off" because all it does is drain my battery and never gives me any reliable notifications anyway. Just wondering if this is a known issue. I tried a search but only found a few people complaining that they don't work at all. I can't find any reference to them only working intermittently (rarely).
I said "McDonalds" into it once and it told me probably 3 times within an hour what the traffic was like to the nearest McDonalds. But I can't get it to give reliable sports cards.

The only issue I have is the wording, but if you get it right it works flawless.
If you ask "when do the rangers play again" you will not get a card, but if you ask "when does the rangers play again" you get a card as you can see here:

Once I got sports cards to start working they seem to be getting more reliable as I use them. Be sure to do a ton of voice searches for your team right off the bat so it will know to prioritize them. My problem is actually with the auto weather notification, I swiped it away about 4 days ago and its never come back to my notification bar.. It's there in the cards section, but never the notifiy bar.
As far as a new video, I'd like to check out mikeys new apk, then if I get time maybe I can post one. if someone wants to beat me to it by all means go ahead.
One more thing.. mikey I wouldn't give up on using it quite yet, as you may have read- it really does seem to get better the more you use it and travel around town with it.. The first couple days I had it installed I was pretty much like.. is this it??

I'm not having any trouble there. Things you ask it are fine. The things it should be offering up to you automatically (without you having to ask) is where it falls flat. If I have a card for the Tampa Bay Rays, my understanding is that it should automatically alert you when the game is about to begin via notifications and also send notifications automatically during the game when the score changes. That just doesn't work.

Thanks A Lot!!

Installed right now. It boots. That pig from hell logo guy with yellow blinking eyes is cool.
I'm starting testing. Will let you know ASAP.
[edit]
I don't have good news for you guys not speaking Chinese.
The ROM runs smooth (system itself, I didn't have a chance to test bigger applications).
It has some graphical goodies (eyecandy scrolling, which is still quite smooth).
You have to flash a set of gapps other than this for CM10.2 (I used gapps-jb4.3-20130813-minimal_edited_20130814.zip).
The ROM is Chinese. I mean totally Chinese, which renders it (almost?) unusable for non-Chinese speakers, even after you change system language.
Hardware keyboard uses an app called iFly, used to enter Chinese characters.
It overrides keyboard definitions found in kl/kcm files.
Even though it supports English keyboard, it seems to be rather an addition to Chinese one, thus it is not only not too convenient in use, but also I couldn't force it to support Polish special keys (and believe me, I tried hard).
After you kill, freeze, or uninstall iFly, besides Home, all capacitive buttons below screen stop working.
Plenty of non-standard settings are Chinese only, even tapping blindly in hope to reach some falimiar looking screens didn't lead me to any success. You have to know Chinese (if only I could paste my phone in Google Translate... )
To sum up: in my opinion it is one more exotic ROM, quite pretty, powerful perhaps, but almost useless outside Zhongguo. @zhangyang_haha: Could you please disable Chinese keyboard application (iFly) permanently?

I have flashed it and works perfect!!!!!! (just a trick: I have erased ifly of the zip and then i have installed the rom and gaaps with working swipe keyboard) and I'm satisfied with the result. No chinesse at all. Only Spanish. I installed it over Engles 10.2 rom and I had a bootloop. Then I made a factory reset and the phone booted fine and after 3 seconds the language automagically changed to Spanish.
I think this rom is well finished, very pretty and quick. I'm testing it, but I like it by the moment. First impression: We have in this rom the best from Czechop and the best of Engle_Mars.
Some screenshots and greetings.

Ok, sorry for you.
Don't forget to install rom and gaaps at the same time, because if you delete Ifly you won't be able to continue configuration after booting because you don't have a virtual keyboard needed for it.

Tried again. Removed iFly.apk from /system/app in zip file. Boots. Language selection screen appears - I select Polish. Location screen appears (use wifi / gps for location). Whatever I select, Mokee Initial Setup crashes, and loops back to the beginning (language selection screen). My phone is attached to PC - just for battery not to run empty, maybe that's a source of problems? I don't know.

My knowledge finishes here. I made it by installing the rom and gapps at the same time, making a factory reset and rebooting. I don't know if the problem is for doing attached to pc. I did it without being attached to a pc and I was coming from engle's rom.
Try to do it without usb connected and made sure you've flashed gapps.
Good luck

I'm using your rom without problems and is good, but some mates in southamerica (Argentina,...) are trying it but they don't get mobile signal.
They have tried changing basebands with no luck at all. Any idea or help?

Sorry. I don't know why you do not have signal. If i do not have signal, i always change the basebands and then it has signal. Maybe you can try other basebands? :silly: And also, it is based on czechop's work and port from DEFY. You know czechop's CM10.2 is based on Quarx's work

Engle_Mars KitKat (AOSP 4.4.2) 2014-03-28

KitKat for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.4)
Introduction
I am a android fan and I like it very much (I came from Chinese). I have ported this rom for my ME722 (Milestone 2 China version) and the project is open source. The rom has some nice advancements. I would like you to try my rom and send bugreports to me. I'm a Java / C++ programmer, but i'm not good at hardware therefor some bugs I can't fix. I have submitted some patches for the CM official, but if you can supply patches for this it will be ok. The rom is world wide language support.
(In order to get more effect battery control, I suggest you use my develop screen brightness controller application. You can download from

FAQ
1. The media scan eat up my battery.
The major problem is the SD card has too many files to scan. You can create empty file that is named '.noscanandnomtp' under the folders that you need not to scan. To me, I add this empty file in all folders under the root folder of SD card, except the folder "DICM", 'Audios', "Noticifitions", "Alerm". After do the previous steps, you can find the system speed will very quick and no more battery usage.
2. I can not send SMS.
The problem is happen when you upgrade from other ROM. The SMSC is incorrect make such problem. Please refer to the following page to try to resolve it. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/SMSC_Updates.
3. How can I enable ART
3.1 First, please enter development module. Settings->About Phone->Click the 'Build number' item in seven time. It will show 'Developer options'
3.2 Settings->Developer options->Select runtime, click the item Use ART. Restart your phone is OK.
4. If enable ART cannot enter system how to resolve it.
4.1. WIPE.
4.2. Use adb to connect your phone by following command to set back dalvik and keep all your data
adb shell setprop persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib libdvm.so
I want to trim some language support, please tell me what's your langage usage. Because the system partition is too small to fit for bigger and bigger system

I like to try it, but I can't get the download to finish -.-
Perhaps you can provide another mirror.
Got it.
Wow, looks aweseome.
Some info for others:
gApps are included so don't flash a zip for that.
You should come from cm10.2 to flash this ROM. (Couldn't flash from stock)

Thanks!

I have been using the rom for a while and I can say It is stable for daily use.
Mobile data ok
Play store ok
gps ok
calls ok (And you can record them with AutoCallRecorder)
No chinesse characters at all
sms ok
camera ok (as told by Engle_Mars)
If you try to use lgcamera the previeww is a horrible split screen, but
photo and videos are taken fine.
Bluetooth Send files ok
Receive files no ok (you receive, but you can't confirm reception od the incoming item)
Handsfree OK
Tethering no ok
Sd card no ok (Is detected by pc but not accessible)
wifi ok
Personal bug:
Clock app fc's all the time, so I can't configure alarm, etc...
I have installed coming from Engle's 10.2 without wipes, so, I have fixed it
by erasin clock app data.
What I miss:
Google Now Activity at the left of the homescreen.
Working emoji and swipe keyboard
To know:
It still uses kernel 2.6.32.9 (3.0.8 is out) and 2.6.0 TWRP (2.6.3 is out)
And maybe Engle_Mars has to change text on updaterscript, because
when you finish installing the rom it says:
"Finished Installing JellyBean for ME722, Enjoy!" instead of
"Finished Installing KitKat for ME722, Enjoy!"
Very good work. Congratulations Mr. Engle_mars

and how about the advantages of CM? Because it is an AOSP rom.. call blocking, ota update, etc?

@Engle_Mars
Regarding camera colors...if they are mixed during preview, then changinig in the [email protected] lines:
*udest++ = src[1];
*vdest++ = src[3];
to
*udest++ = src[3];
*vdest++ = src[1];
should do the trick
PS: Good to see you back

I have installed this rom, but lots of settings missing, which is very good in cyanogenmod... Anyway the performance is very good

I think it's amazing how smooth the system is running.
A few Bugs/Issues I found:
- The taskbar isn't transparent (I don't care)
- When pressing the menubutton or long pressing the homescreen, so the wallpapers and widgetsbuttons appear, the settingsbutton has no effect.
- In the settings there is no button for system and launcher.
- changing the physical keyboard to QWERTZ has no effect.
- the bootanimation is boring but it boots fast
- Pressing the camera button doesn't start the camera
I didn't do a lot of testing, but wow, great work, faster than stock GB.

Hi,
Thanks for your work!
Please add the Brazilian Portuguese (Pt-BR) language if it´s possible.
Regards.

Could anyone mirror it on other server please. I still can't download from yunpan.cn, it downloads only 506kB and breaks connection.
-- Edit
Ok, I've found a solution. For some reason Firefox didnt want to download it, but it seems Download Manager downloads without problems (low bitrate, but works).

I have not noticed more system speed or better battery management than Engles' Cm 10.2 but I have more free ram and other thing...
Bluetooth handsfree device works fine!!!! and if you have Autocallrecoreder installed it also records bluetooth calls!!! Awesome!!!!:laugh:
For being a first release is very good and for me is for daily use. I also miss some improvements of cm but nobody is perfect... I think is good to see Engle_Mars working on AOSP and Czechop working on CM11 so, you have plenty of choice, haven't you?
For those who want some cm apks they can download CyanogenMod App Installer from Google play. The app has the funcionality to download apks and resources from a remote server to your device, and install them as system applications, so you could have:
-Apollo
-Calculator
-Cm file manager
-Torch
-Messaging
-Dsp Equalizer
-Voice+
-News+Weather widget
If you miss notification bar toggles use Notification Toggle.apk from market
Best regards

For my global is supply original and stable Google System for Milestone2. The system should care about system should do. Other thing just let the application to do and it will do better than ROM. I develop the ROM base on AOSP have two reasons. 1. Decrease the work when upgrade to new system. CM add more and more code that we never have chance to use, this is because our old hardware, for example NFC, FM, HDMI, Multiple SM etc. 2. Some application can do better by integrate in system. The other good thing is czechop and Quarx2K still develop base on CM (new kernel, if it's stable enough, I will merge). If there is any good features of CM that I interest, I will merge it. But now, only the LTO need I merge and I have done. It will include in next version.

Guys, please, could somebody who has already downloaded the ROM, upload it to some other server? It is nearly impossible to download from 360 server. Connection is dropped after a minute or so, and transfer speeds are about 1-2 kB/s. Using download manager doesn't make a difference.

Please feel free to make suggestions, demands will get ignored, ETA's will get ignored (post them too many times, and I will report you)
This has only been tested on the Galaxy S7 Edge for Xfinity. It should work without issue for Verizon as well (since the Xfinity one is merely a rebranding)
It may work on other devices, I don't have any others, so I cannot test or support them. Please let me know if you do, and if it works for you.​
FEATURES:
Installs: Xperia Home, Calendar, Clock, Music, Gallery, Sound Recorder, Lounge, LifeLog, Walk Mate, Video, Keyboard, Newsm Weather (and widgets), Movie Creator, Calculator, Sketch, Track ID
Installs: Kevs Tweaks (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...od-performance-memory-battery-kevp75-t3638524)
Installs: Viper4Android & SamsungSans (1000+ fonts)
Removes: Samsung Calendar, Clock, Video Editor, Gallery, Calculator, Music, Sound Alive, Photo Studio
You can update via PlayStore (until I can figure out the best way to do it through the flasher)
SCREENSHOTS:
COMING SOON
REQUIREMENTS:
Be on Nougat already
Root
460 MB Free in /system
DOWNLOADS:
DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#!i0YVnapC!CMTThuT32AdtYequxw421RFVebpMBdW0b6NDZFAKJKc
INSTALLING:
Either open FlashFire or reboot to recovery (if you have a custom one)
Select the zip, and make sure to check 'Mount /system"
Flash, reboot when done (it will clear your cache and dalvik, so first boot after install may take a bit...)
Profit
Once you reboot, your device should ask you to select a 'Home', select Xperia. You can set the keyboard through your settings.
ISSUES:
Cannot set Xperia Home by default, gotta be a Samsung thing... so I had to keep touchwiz installed
Viper4Andoird does not play well with the Sony Libraries (fixing in next version)
Let me know....

Suggestion: Have no idea if this is possible but maybe include a script to enable apps in the disabler list so we don't have to manually type them all.

Not sure if I said it right but I mean like for example when we install roms In aroma we get a list of apps of which we want to install ... maybe like add that option so we can select which apps we want to include in the rib disabler list

That would be much too huge of a list mate.

Any updates forthcoming for this or the HTC/Blackberry ports you mentioned? It's great to have another custom ROM (or Mod or whatever) for us poor Snapdragon/Locked BL suckers and I'm surprised this hasn't received more attention, considering how few choices we do have on that front. (What, this, Stang5litre's ROM, the now-discontinued-I-think EchoeROM and...that's it?)
I'm running it on the US Cellular G935R4 variant and it seems fine (I've had 935V and 935U firmwares on this phone with no issues in the past, so I didn't anticipate any problems anyway). I did hit one early snag when the installer refused to continue due to lack of space - only around 175mb available in /system out of the required 460-some or whatever it is. Once I went back and deleted enough junk to make room, I was basically good to go.
I have noticed the following (non-major) "issues":
1). The Sony apps are almost all "outdated" and will request you to download updates from the Play Store. No big deal, but figured I'd mention it. By and large the apps update smoothly and without any problems...
2). Except for the Xperia Home launcher itself. The bundled version here is 10.2.A.3.0 and works fine, but is missing features like a pull-up app drawer, so you'll probably want a newer build. The launcher doesn't seem to have a built-in update trigger like the other Sony apps though, so you'll need to search it out yourself - only you'll find that the Play Store doesn't think you have Xperia Home installed. If you try to hit Install anyway, it'll download and fail with a 505 error. Solution? What worked for me was loading Aptoide, where I found "Xperia Arc Launcher" listed in my available updates. No idea what the "Arc" version is or what the difference is - it isn't in the Google Play Store as far as I can tell, and my phone still only lists it as "Xperia Home" - but whatever, this one installs and took me to version 11.2.A.0.3. (FWIW, the version in the Play Store that fails to install seems to actually be a bit older than what I found on Aptoide, and is listed as 11.0.A.0.8)
3). The "Album" app requests an update (which can be ignored). The bundled version of Album is 8.2.A.0.8 and seems to work fine. Following the request within the app takes you to the Play Store and installs v8.6.A.0.4, which - at least on my device - attempts to open but always freezes and force closes. I've tried clearing data/cache before/after updating but get the same result. (The update suggested by Aptoide is the same version, so no luck there this time.)
4). Here's a somewhat bigger issue, but this one might very well be isolated to my device - as in mine personally, not the USCC variant - because....I dunno, just seems screwy. The Xperia keyboard isn't working at all. Version 8.0.A.0.100 is bundled. I can see the Xperia Keyboard listed when I click on Manage Keyboards under input settings, but it's greyed out and unselectable. Play Store updates you to 8.0.A.0.110 but same result. Anyway, what seems weird to me is that the Samsung keyboard (which is the one in use) also appears greyed out, leading me to suspect something screwy on my end. Maybe not, I dunno.

Anyway, these are all tiny quirks at worst, I'm just mentioning them to offer a full report/critique. Otherwise this is neat, and I hope there's more in the future, not just from this project but hopefully it will inspire others and remind them that a locked bootloader doesn't mean we can't do *anything* with these devices. Let's see more FlashFire-capable ROMs/Mods/whatever the hell you want to call 'em!
* ETA: So I got the Xperia Keyboard working by just freezing/disabling the Samsung Keyboard, at which point a dialog from XKB instantly popped up asking to download the English-language dictionary pack and the XKB was now default and working fine. I defrosted the Samsung KB and it seems that the Xperia KB is still active and in control for now at least.

Hey mate, no updates yet. Been real busy with life...
It's the time of year lol i did manage to test some of the blackberry stuff, and it seems to work really well on our device
Some of the HTC stuff is a bit flakey, but I think it's the older versions tho...
