How to Install / Requirements
Just in case, before flash make an full backup of your current Rom and Kernel.
Requirements
New CWM or TWRP Recovery ( In The Downloads Section)
I Recommend TWRP
Extended Internal UserData Partition (due to the new KK fstab, the internal Memory can't be mounted)
(Users with stock Partition Layout, can still flash this rom, however you'll have only 500MB of userdata)
Installation / Flashing Procedure
Put the rom on the EXTERNAL SD Card
BOTH SIM's must be taken out of the Phone (Not doing so will throw some nasty errors 8/10 times ...) Not need with Beta2
FULL Wipes are mandatory (Cache/dalvik/Data)
Flash the ROM (Remember, you must not have your SIM(s) card(s) on the Phone ...) Not need with Beta2
When the Rom, finishes Booting, you need to go to Settings > Date & Time > and UNtick the checkbox for "Automatic Time Zone" (Disabled this Option, as it messes with the Network Signal) Not need with Beta2
Power OFF the Phone, and insert your SIM(s) Card(s) Not need with Beta2
[*] If you wish, reboot to the recovery first, and flash the SuperSU.zip in order to ROOT the Device (ROM isn't rooted as default), After flashing the supersu.zip, reboot the Phone, Say "NO" to the Recovery Promp about Root not instaled/damaged
--> You can find the latest SuperSU Root v2.40 HERE Not need with v1.2 or above
[*] Install the Rom
Internal memory re-partition (extended userdata partition)
Read with very carefully and do it at your own risk
Make a full backup via MKTDROIDTOOLS including NVRAM and IMEI
The Internal SD will be formatted so you will lose all the data that you have there
Download NewmanN1_2.5G_ExtendUserdata.zip (modified MBR and EBR1)
Extract the ZIP into a folder in your computer
Shutdown the phone
Open SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 (or higher) and load the scatter file (extracted from NewmanN1_2.5G_ExtendUserdata.zip)
Flash MBR and EBR1 as shown on the next image (more details in this flashing tutorial)

- Bluetooth issues
No idea about second sim and gps
Everything else works for me

This is a known issue for now.
Thanks again.
Now I can ear... I will do some more test today
Hi once again, lingfude. It is a pity for a situation on 4pda.
I as promised made the test Kit-Kat with one sim card in the 2nd slot. Results:
At installation of an insertion I didn't pull out a sim card from phone. The Automatic Time Zone point is included. Calls work, 2G the Internet works.
I have still a problem that Play Market long loads appendices. You have no such problem? The Internet well works.

Well I was about to post in there also, but since we can't post in English...
About the 3G calls patch, its working "ok" . People that complain about not having network signal, should check this 2 things:
- Follow the instructions ( I spent time writing that, to avoid unnecessary questions)
- country networks.
The modem isn't compatible for worldwide, if you don't have 2g or 3g network:
- Indicate what's your country and GSM networks , so, that we can make an additional patch.
Regards , have funn .
Edit: Lingfude, you need to check your kernel imgsensor driver, I changed that with FM50AF ( my zte driver)
In fact the driver in the source labeled OV8825/35 is the FM50AF modified.
--> You can get the original driver from qus source

Automatic Time Zone error --> Solved
Hia All.
I just solve the com.android.phone error caused when "Automatic Time Zone" is enabled.
Very good.
Just to summarize 'till now what is not working (need to be fixed in some way):
1- Bluetooth
2- Camera autofocus (solved? waiting for the patch)
3- Auto Timezone (solved? waiting for the patch)
I just have some issue with:
1- finding roaming options (how can I disable roaming messages to be displayed? I'm all the time in roaming with my operator so no need to be warned about each time I'm doing a call )..
2- setting governor? Can't find any!
3- Top up menu (can't add or remove switches)
Thanks for your time.
New KK release: Beta2

You wonder what Hybrid means? It means this ROM is born from WAX stock and Blackhpone + Ceres. Yes, it contains a bit of everything, but mostly Blackphone for optimal performance and high battery life!
Make sure your phone is at least 80% charged (although it's recommended 100%), or do a battery calibration (after recharging to 100%) to avoid "OMG this ROM is eating my battery" comments.

@mucski
Nice, but i have a problem to get the CWM to work. In which mode has the device to be? I'm in Factory Mode or should I use Recovery Mode (I could not found some kind of fastboot).
My drivers are extracted from the 4Game 4.3 Package by alexDay and for factory mode I have to use ADBDriverInstaller
Thanks in advance
The phone has to be in APX mode. You push unplug your phone from your PC, you push Volume Down and while holding it, plug it back to your PC. Normally your Phone will stay black, like its still turned off, but your PC will tell you that a new APX device has been plugged in. I forgot to include the drivers for APX, but they can be found on the Explay 4Game drivers section on their website. Will include the driver tomorrow.
Well, APX Mode is holding Vol+ and Vol- at the same time. Then the pc is searching for the Nvidia Drivers (can be found in my dropbox account from 4Game ROM https://www.dropbox.com/s/303u65yqspmq4ib/NvidiaTegraTreiberAPX.zip?dl=0)...and then it is working
I installed via TWRP and it's all ****ed up freezing all the time.... i can't even spend more than 5 minutes on the ROM. it freezes and i have to reboot
EDIT: after some reboots it's great. The phone is amazingly fast and nice
Thanks for this ROM, I'm looking for a ROM for this WIko Wax. But this rom is only 0.4.7., is there any new update coming to reach a nice version 1.0.0. or is this last version already nice and stable ?

Hello,
This is kinda not the rigght place to POST, but still related.
I have trouble installing custom recovery to be able to install Tesla ROM.
I find myself unable to flasher the recovery, it would be a worry of partition.
Indeed the command
Code:
nvflash -r --download 15 recovery.img
runs smoothly but the phone does not boot in normal mode or in recovery mode (blocked on" booting recovery mode" probably due to tight previous try).
After browsing the web, I conclude that I must stay on partition 16 and not 15 (it is already tests on the 16 with obviously not adapted recovery that caused the boot error).
But with the command
Code:
nvflash -r --download 16 recovery.img
I have the result:
Code:
Nvflash 4.10.1800 started
[resume mode]
recovery.img is too large for partition
command failure / warning: partition download failed
And then I'm stuck ...
So I really need your help, please ...

Known Issues (regarding latest available Stable build)
Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues
Rarely, when you wake-up the device, touchscreen will have a noticeable input lag, easily fixable by turning off and on the display. (H/W or S/W bug?)
Wireless Display with some TVs could cause issues (AOSP bug related to HDCP, and Google doesn't provide a solution)
Video Stream through Screencast & Wireless Display will have inverted Red and Blue color channels due to BGR Pixel Format (actual Exynos sources don't allow to fix it)
Any Chinese (CHN, I9500XCUxxx codename) Baseband/Modem reduces Call Quality (due to forced AMR_WB, unsupported by CHN modems)
5GHz Wi-Fi Networks using Band B (52-140) and Band C (149-161) channels won't be listed (H/W or S/W bug?)
Reporting Bugs
You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.
REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

Read carefully.
Differences between GearCM (Optimized CyanogenMod) and Official CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY):
Degrated Shadow said:
Enough of those dumb questions..
The official CM rom is maintained by @Alberto96 and @intervigil
He makes the very recent changes here relating to performance.. which are then in time pushed to CM official rom. The kernel is different because it has selinux disabled and few minor tweaks you might not even notice.. this gearcm rom will have more performance. But CM rom will have their updated base changes which are included here with each update.
What I mean is you probably wont even notice what's different in terms of user interface.. gearcm will have more performance. Official cm will have updated sources. But it will include gearcm's changes in time as @Alberto96 pushes them to CM
You can decide by a simple choice. more performance and not-nightly updated sources or similar performance (improving with nightly updates) with updated sources. I would choose gearcm because of the reasons I mentioned above. Do what you will.. and let this be a note to everybody who ask this again and again and again. Don't spam the thread with same question in every alternate page.. Because there are other people who might have different problems they need to ask. Read atleast 15 previous pages and the first post changelog before asking the question. Reading most of the times will give you a solution and if not most of the info you will read will help you anyway.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Where are "Performance" and "Developer Options" categories?
To activate 'Performance' and 'Developer Options' categories in Settings you need to tap 7 times on 'Build number' located into Settings -> About Phone.
How can i solve problems with Hebrew language?
Go to "Developer Options" in Settings and check "Force RTL layout direction".
What can i do to reduce the "echo effect" while in-call?
Try to reduce in-call earpiece volume (if possible).
I'm having problems with battery life, what can i do?
1) Use "Greenify" to hibernate all apps with a "little cloud + 'Gcm' word inside" on the right of each app's name. Donation version is recommended because it allows deeper hibernation of apps
2) Disable "Location" or set it to mode "Battery Saving" (Settings -> Location)
3) Make sure that your 2G/3G mobile network signal level isn't always low or unstable
4) Deny "Wake Up" and "Keep Awake" permissions to Google and third-party apps. (Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Press menu button and check "Show built-in apps" -> Press menu button again and go to Advanced -> Horizontal Scroll to Device)
5) Disable "Sync" or sync only useful stuff like Contacts
6) Disable "Auto-rotate screen" (Settings -> Display & lights -> Rotation)
7) Use one of the latest Modem/Baseband listed on first post.
8) Disable Ambient Display
9) Install Xposed Framework and configure Amplify
If this isn't enough then replace your battery and/or reduce your phone usage. :silly:
Is GearCM OTA supported?
Yes (Since 20150707 Build)
Why is my phone over-heating while playing heavy-games or running heavy-apps?
Use a bit your brain to explain why. High CPU and GPU usage = high heat production. Your phone will automatically throttle CPU when needed so don't worry, it is safe and normal.
Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?
No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.
Can i disable S-View cover features (lock/unlock)?
Not yet.
*** IR Remote app isn't working anymore/was working on previous builds/causes my phone to crash, what can i do?
Contact *** IR Remote app developer.
Any question about "Can't connect to camera" issue
Do not "stress" camera on CM because we don't use yet a proper implementation. Open/Close Camera apps carefully without force-closing them.
fix stock camera try flash this zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2a7hegwzu9ft2c/Fix_Camera_Cmmct_5.0.zip?dl=0
Been using lollipop as a daily driver with awesome results. But still there's something that bugs me. Although GPS works fine I find that its accuracy is pretty low.
For instance I run in order to keep fit. I use adidas miCoach which calculates your speed and distance covered giving as result km speed (from Argentina). GPS has a hard time keeping up with this and every time I train I revert to TW and then back to Lollipop.
Will test this GPS and see if its better than team Cajinica
does this rom have working bluetooth calls over car stereo?

Will test this GPS and see if its better than team Cajinica

Great. Downloading now[emoji1]
"App not installed" if manually install an apk.
Is there any workaround?
@Alberto96 haven't test it on GearCM 11. I'll try and report back asap
Can't install apks.
Although pushing apks to system works. Titanium backup in not able to restore as well.
Edit: I guess Titanium Backup does work. Not with the default superuser though. I flashed supersu to get it working in frapeti's rom, strange.

With GearCM 11 latest build GPS is pretty accurate. Used Waze while driving and miCoach while walking and had good results.
Further testing done with the build posted (20141216) I can't access SD card to install apks that are not from playstore for example BBS, and getting the low memory message even if full wiped and fresh installed.
Can't install APK in this Build ...
Storage Issues
@Alberto96 Hey man there seems to be an issue with your Kernel please take a look at the changes u made as they seem to be the cause of peope not being able to install any APKS and Install from playstore as its complaining about the storage being low so what i did is compile with CM kernel and tested it and the GearCm works fine without any storage issues but if I compile it using ur GearCm Kernel thats where theres storage issues. Please take a look at it
Thanks for your time and dedication of this Alberto. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time with your CM12 Releases
With CM12-20141212v2 (I did a clear wipe) and no RIL Service. So I was not able to use it basically...
Today I gave it a second try CM12-20141216 . I was happy to see my 3G Connection. But when I started to download the app from Play Store. It was impossible. All APKS giving an error.
I will test Canjica Version. It's a pity but I will have to wait till we get to a stable version of Android 5.0.1 with GearCM12.
Despite of that, Thanks for your work on this! We wouldn't have this if it wasn't because of you
Heads Up
Brilliant to have 5.0 on our phones, look and feel is really cool.
Confirmed Working:
Calls, SMS, Internet (WIFI & 3G), Camera, Gallery
FC's:
Music, File manager, Play store (all google apps) & anything else which is on the SD card
Keep it up guys:good:
Application not installed?
thanks for update 12\21 @Alberto96 ...but issue with installing apk is here.
New build is coming with some fixed, especially performance related.
New build is up!
Enjoy

Samsung GT-S7562 CyanogenMod 11.0 Android 4.4.4
Unofficial Release
I proudly present my first Android related work.
The GT-S7560M has a similar hardware except the dual-SIM RIL, so the kylessopen firmware (thanks to jonypx09 and others) was a good initial source.
I reverse engineered the stock Java Radio Interface Layer, and based on that informations, I restructured the kylessopen’s sources.
Finally with my custom telephony-common, telephony-msim java layer, and with the stock rild, and libril*.so binaries, the GSM connection works.
Important: This is an unofficial release. If you find a bug, please send a feedback in this thread.
If you have a problem with the installation, write it down in the Q&A thread.

Comments:
I think it's a little faster than previous versions. - What do you think?
You can update system from RC2 without wipe your phone.
You can enable "Force high-end graphics". Mostly, animations are smooth.
I ask everyone, who have bluetooth accessories to test the bluetooth layer, and provide feedback what is working or not (just with log cats).

signal_strength_fix.zip
torch_fix.zip
CameraFIX_v2.zip This will fix the front and back videocamera. Before install this, disable Viber's videoConverterService with DisableService app (Play Store).
If your battery quickly discharges on RC1, disable all bluetooth service (org.codeaurora.bluetooth, Bluetooth Share) with DisableService (Play Store).
Comments:
Working Radio Interface Layer for both SIM card
WiFi direct is not supported, so you can't enable. Use Bluetooth, Dropbox, email etc...
If you want to install Viber, before the first start, disable Viber's videoConverterService with DisableService app (Play Store).
The "OneL+ Lollipop" theme with "IdeaL Theme Dark"'s icons is beautiful.
To prevent sound disruption, enable the equalizer.
About Google Apps, and GService Bug
Fixed with all releases after rc3. For reference see below
Latest gapps (ver. 7.x) has issues, and eat our baterry, so I recommend to install the package that I linked, disable autoupdate in Gapps, and disable GPlay's CheckWifiAndAutoUpdate service with DisableService (from Play Store).
If your Gservices app updated to the version 7.x, you can easily downgrade to 6.x
(you can do this, if you installed my linked package or earlier):
Settings-->Security-->Device Administrators-->Uncheck "Android Device Manager"
Settings-->Apps-->Google Services-->Disable-->Yes, you want to remove updated version

Hey
Hi, Thanks. just wanted to know if one sim card works or 2 are required??
You Nailed it bro! @m4jonez
YES! 100% Verified that we get network on both (you can insert single as well) .
However that the rom is a bit laggy (much better than one would expect from a first build).
Yes there are bugs ! but yeah! there is network too..
Where should we report the bugs bro @m4jones? I found some.
1 network on indian modem is super duper unstable.. so change op and recomended people to flash your modem file.
With your modem , i found the sim networks to be quite stable.
2 torch app is useless as neither app nor widget works. So fix it or remove it
( CAMERA WORKING FINE FOR ME)
COngrats and all the best ! continue your good work
The built-in browser fixed.
Where should we report the bugs bro @m4jones? I found some.

Post it here.
minor problem here:
Signal strength is reported wrong for both sims.
Always shows full strength.
Recognition seems to be working as values are changing but they are much too high. Around 2000dBm.
Phone calls in/out SMS and data rock stable on both sims for me.
Performance is good(better than expected).
Zram is not working init.rc entries(or script) are missing. Maybe a kernel problem too idk ATM.
Thanks @m4jonez you're great!!!!!

Small FAQ:
Q: How can i Unlock the Bootloader?
A: Instructions for Unlocking the Bootloader can be found here
Q: After locking the screen, the screen is all black, and I'm forced to reboot, how can I fix this?
A: If you have this issue, then your device uses an different hardware LCM
( the lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo ), please use the second kernel.zip for this variant, it'll be added an second kernel . zip for people with this variant, on the download section with the ROM releases
how to flash this ?
After flashing the ROM, flash the second kernel afterwards
This kernel containing the LCM for this HW variant will be always WIP, as both my units have the first LCM HW variant ( nt35521_dsi_vdo).
So my testing will be always based on other people logs
Q: Where are the Developer Options?
A: Go to Settings>About Phone, and tap 7 times on the Build Number
Q: How can i root this rom?
A: Rom is already pre-rooted with Lineage's su
--> Enable Developer Options by tapping 7 times on Build Number
then in Developer Options > Check the "root access" option
Q: Can i root with another method ?
A: Sure, you can also use latest SuperSU (v 2.82)
Magisk root, haves some issues with Legacy MediaTek Devices, use/ test at your own risk
Q: I can't flash this Rom on recovery, why?
A: You need to update your recovery in order to flash this Lollipop Builds
Q: How can i flash the new recovery?
A: If you already have an custom recovery installed:
Download the new recovery zip
flash the new recovery
reboot to recovery again
If you don't have any custom recovery installed:

Info and GPL Compliance
Some small intro:
Asus never complied with GPL (despite the efforts of many people, myself included)
Asus always denied to provide the *real kernel source code, instead they provided an generic kernel that is useless, as it doesn't contained ANY driver used by this device
My Kernel, was made from *scratch, and this took some years to achieve the current state, yet, it's not completed nor perfect:
Broken:
- No cameras support ( the image sensors are highly customized by Asus), this is broken at kernel level, let alone on ROM...
- Sensors ( accelerometer & magnetometer are still kinda broken, they are registered, but don't work most of the times)
half Broken:
- WiFi : WiFi driver has also been highly customized, right now WiFi is working just fine, but with just one small bug
--> if you disconnect WiFi, and then afterwards try to connect it'll hang ( you need to reboot) FIXED since Build 20200516
- Reported battery percentage, isn't very precise , and may have sudden drops
Working:
LCM nt35521_dsi_vdo
LCM lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo
(second HW revision), support available in an seperate kernel .zip

Oh god. This looks amazing!
Dang that I sold mine a few years ago...
Good work!
Thanks for your efforts to make this working. Great job!
Still have one lying around here so definetly gonna try this.
If remaining problems with CM12.x are solved will there be like CM14 in the future too?
Thanks.

Funny you asked this
There's some early work already towards los 14
( Nougat)
Let's see
Thanks for work!
Yesterday I install this version on my tablet. Good side: tablet booted But after screen lock, I only can see screen backlight and sounds when I tap to a black screen, reboot helped solve this problem, but after screen lock, this problem repeated. And I can't turn on wifi

Interesting...
As I mentioned previously, this tablet came with two versions of LCM, I own two and both have the same :
"nt35521_dsi_vdo"
I can only assume your have the other LCM variant from LG "lgld070wx3_dsi_vdo"
As you can see here in kernel project configuration:
https://github.com/dragonpt/android...sus/mediatek/config/asus/ProjectConfig.mk#L49
Thanks for your provided feedback, you gave me an clue in how to possibly fix this second LCM variant, I'll look into it.
Meanwhile if you please: before your tablet went into locking, where the colors alright, any noticeable artifacts in the screen?
Thanks
Yep, I see some artifacts on the screen: screen blink and white line on the bottom of the screen
JFYI, I have RUS tablet version

Hi, is there a method from stock to determine that LCM version?

yes
If you have stock rom (or any of my AOSP roms)
you need root, install deviceinfohw app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw&hl=en_US
then on this app go to settings, allow root permissions
reload the app, and it'll show the LCM driver

What are people using for root on this? I've tried flashing Magisk (v20) but it fails in an unsupported image format when extracting the boot image.

Lineage have their own su, you can activate it on developer settings
- you can also flash latest SuperSu 2.82 (tested working)
-Magisk haves some issues with some Mediatek devices (some other mtk devices my team supports haves this issue as well)
If I recall ... only until version 14 or 16 works
( I'll confirm this later)
Cheers
I have graphic artifacts after waking up the device. in addition, tablet charging does not work. after uploading the re-stock ROM loading works

Really Weird charging is not working...
Working fine for me, (16 GB variant WW) also a user with the 16GB variant RU also confirmed this to be working
About after waking up the device I have this sometimes as well, its ESD discharge from the LCM, not something to worry about, the LCM is not perfect, needs some more tuning .
Could you tell me what LCM does your variant uses?
You just need to install an app and check .
Seems to me , there's some more model variants
( with slightly different hardware that I was aware )
Cheers

Ah, great, ok, I'll activate the provided su in settings.
WOW!
Thank you, mate, for a great job!
It was pity to realise the good device is gonna die on JB.
Looking forward for a reliable ROM.
@superdragonpt sorry for became a bit OT,
Can I use some commits from your tree for another mt6589 device that I working on it?
Thanks!

Installed rom without issue, good instructions :good:
I also get problems waking device, in fact always have to reboot. Main reason to install was to allow netflix downloads however it appears that is a deeper issue than just android version, possibly architecture. But it does allow install of kodi so positive there. Main use is entertainment device in my car during lunch break.
Also have weird keyboard issues, double key entry type android get androoid and random other key presses miles away from where my fat fingers are pressing.
Great work so far otherwise, thanks
Let me know if I can assist dev with any test or info.
Cheers
