Rooting hp slate 7 or 6 voicetab is very easy
Warning n.1 :- do not install any otas. Fotakill is uploaded for convenience
You will still receive updates after rooting
Many hp devices already have busybox, bash,swap support etc
you will need to install openvpn, sqlite, etc binary separately
rooting :- Root it through kingo root
While rooting your device may turn off and start charging, if it happens turn it on
The same will happen again
Turn it on again
Done! Rooted
If it didn’t work, try vroot
To replace vroot with supersu , go to http://goo.gl/r9uENy
Try cydias impactor as well
Important warning :- Don’t take any otas, especially if you have the hp slate 7 6102ra voicetab
The above method worked for me.
Tell me if there is any problem.
Vroot link :- http://goo.gl/sFnoCX
Kingo root link :- http://goo.gl/7vT35O
I will write a comprehensive guide to speed up these devices.
I have uploaded my modded build.prop you can check it once
Safe to install xposed
Safe to root
If you're an Indian user there is no update.zip to restore the device to factory state
Don't install update to KitKat on hp slate 7 6102ra it will brick your phone
Don't ask how to unlock bootloader. There is already a guide on xda-developers.com
Please support chainfire
You can support chainfire by installing supersu pro
No illegal activity
Please do not do illegal things with root.
If you intend to use lp, use it for legal things like DPI patches etc.

after root, there's lot work to do for this phablet
I'm curious, how to overclock it to 1.283Ghz? the SKU setting tell it capable to run till 1,3Ghz (*#*#4636#*#* method), I've tried modify its governor and cpu frequencies under /sys/ directories, it still refuse to run 1.3Ghz, the file revert back to its original state after I modify it
my device detail:
6002ra, 1.01.06 A, stock ROM Android 4.4.2, kernel 3.4.39, rooted, ART runtime.
Are you running on Marvell chipset or Marvell processor? Please read carefully this guide is for hp slate 7 6101 and 6102ra voicetabs and for slate 6 phablets.
There's an easier way to clock it.
Sorry but it's impossible to do it in root.
Luckily, I found a method :-
1 Open secret menu *#*#4636#*#*.
2 Click on Marvell testing.
3 Click on powersettting.
4 Turn powersettting service and power meter on.
5 Go to frequency setting.
6 Turn off dynamic frequency.
7 Click on set frequency.
8 Click on benchmark.
9 Over clocked to highest anything else requires a custom kernel.
I am not responsible for things like over-heating etc.
Over clocking vpu is a bit tricky I'll post a guide on that too.
If you want to know how to root a phone ask me
However you should take responsibility for anything that happens to your phone
It is safe to install xposed on these devices
See my other guide to root Panasonic eluga a
It is impossible to unlock bootloader. Don't try it

overclocking the VPU give me nothing but overheated battery, I revert back to its factory settings at 400Mhz
funny fact that slate 6 will work much more cool and responsive if you set the memory speed at 533Mhz,, 3D and 2D engine at 384Mhz, leave anything else stock
Note: ART runtime will ruins device stability, don't use it in its stock 4.4.2 ROM

hi,
to tell you how to clock it, i will take example of the VPU (GPU)
after a lot of experiments , i found you cannot use the echo >> <xxxx> /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq command but if you copy the /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq to /sdcard, modify it and place it back to /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq, it works!
to make a startup script
type cp /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq /sdcard
modify it (caution - value should be equal to /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/max_freq !) and use rom toolbox pro/free to create a startup script as follows
cp /sdcard/min_freq /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq
or use
cp /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/max_freq /sys/devices/platform/devfreq.vpu0/min_freq
i will upload a screenshot of my startup scripts when i get time.

hi,
please try going to developer options (these are hidden - google it) and select force gpu rendering, disable hw overlays, force 4x msaa and profile gpu rendering (caution - profile gpu rendering can cause negative performance if the graphics card quality is poor-it happens on my hp slate 7 voicetab
im sorry, i cant test on ART as hp released a buggy update.zip to kitkat file which bricks any device- rooted or unrooted. so i can't test on kitkat and xposed doesn't work on kitkat ART anyways
thanks, i have overclocked and found no heat. perhaps you are using a different device with a faster processor ? ill try to reproduce the problem at my end. if you are using greenify, uninstall it unless using xposed mode. i got a really hot phone (hot enough to cook my food) while using greenify in root mode but no problem in xposed mode

do not flash audio mods. your phone's sound will totally go away !

its not at all funny. the more you speed it up, the faster a task will complete. the phone can then go into sleep mode much more frequently-even when the screen is on. this means your processor will be sleeping 50-70% more if you increase clock speed which translates into a cooler device with much more responsiveness and better battery life. who says oc is bad for battery life? (unless you overdo it-be careful,my friend)

Warning Note: Overclocking may result in damage to your phone components, loss of life expectancy, or even frying them. Overclocking is done at your own risk and we take no responsibility for any damage you inflict upon your phone.
***This guide assumes you have rooted your Droid ***
Step 1: Download evilboot8.img here. (this is to overclock to 800mhz, on the web you can find files for 900mhz, 1.1 ghz and up to 1.3 ghz (tho not stable)
Step 2: Make sure you have/do all the following..
* Make sure you have sprecovery
* Make sure you have flash_image on your system, in /system/xbin/ or /system/bin
* Make sure you perform a nandroid backup first
* Make sure to enable USB debugging on phone
Step 3: Copy the respected evilboot file to the root of your SDCard (evilboot8.img)
Step 4: Now, reboot in sprecovery
Step 5: Select mount options
* mount /system
* mount /sdcard
Step 6: From your PC run the following…
* adb shell /system/xbin/flash_image boot /sdcard/evilboot8.img OR
* adb shell /system/bin/flash_image boot /sdcard/evilboot8.img
* (Where ever your flash image is on your phone xbin folder or bin folder)
Step 7: Now, unmount both system and sdcard using the following command
* unmount/system
* unmount/sdcard
Step 8: Now, reboot your device.

Is this for the milestone to?
Isn't this far more complicated than necessary?
As long as you have root, the free version of Rom Manager allows you to download any of bekit's or P3Droids kernels, low/normal/high voltages up to 1.2 or 1.3 ghz I believe. That coupled with setCPU (for on-demand scaling) eliminates any need to use the SDK really, doesn't it?
yes setcpu is much essier but i just thought i post here as a resource
Overclocking made easy
Just use this app (also available on the market).
This will allow you to set a predefined speed or custom speed/vsel (voltage selection).
Then use SetCPU and use option Autodetect speed. If you don't choose this option, you won't be able to set it to it's maximum speed.
I'm using SHOLS_U2_02.31.0 (2.1-update1) from this website and working perfect after applying root offcourse.
I do not know if this app is working for other versions then SHOLS_U2_02.31.0

Is there a guide to the "best" configurations for stability and battery life using SetCPU or Overclock Widget on the Motorola Droid -- I've been trying to overclock my girlfriend's phone to save her battery life but neither SetCPU nor Overclock Widget work properly. SetCPU doesn't seem to run profiles correctly and is constantly spamming the highest clockspeed chosen, eating battery life like you wouldn't believe and Overclock Widget isn't properly recognizing clock speeds, displaying the wrong value...
So I was hoping that somewhere there was a guide to configuring these options once the phone was rooted and running a ROM which used a kernel that supported overclocking.

What you want to do is UNDERclock her phone
but best for battery life would be to turn off widgets that update automatically or update less frequently so once every 30 min or 15 also display time out i find around 7 seconds is aways good and brightness of display down that will all help
I literally JUST picked up a Droid from a friend (used to have an Eris)
Rooted, flashed Cyan 6 and I'm up and running with Clockwork and ROM manager.
However, absolutely none of the OC kernels are working for me :/ Infinite splash screen!! doesn't even make it to the animation.
Any suggestions?
So far I have tried 1000, 1100 and 1200 mhz low voltage kernels and also 1100 and 1200 standard voltage.
First the kernel you use you must make sure it is compatible with your rom, I had many issues with kernel being compatible with bugless beast v0.4 but was able to find on from p3droid. I would recommended searching for a kernel specific to the rom. It should also say in the roms download forum which ones are compatible. There are roms still downloadable for previous version roms like 2.1 and etc. Just becareful, I had just switched to sapphire 0.8.4 which is from a new source build and I can tell you works great, I just followed spacific instructions on rom forum for overclocking, it mentions roms have scripts that make certain kernels work with them only if they were created for it or compatible. I should mention I also tried cm6 and I've found sapphire more stable and customizable as well as user friendly.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I didn't know where to post this, but I figured this was an appropriate thread because it dealt with overclocking.
http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-top-10/
I was unable to get to the device specific listing, but it's clear that the Droid is ridiculous being on the list (once as the Milestone). I was wondering what it was these guys did to get so high? I understand flashing a stupid fast ROM, but are these phones similar to "dyno queens" in relation to cars? Just good for numbers but unstable for day-to-day use?
If so, what are the numbers for more "stable" ROMs in terms of MFLOPs?
Apparently the issues I was having were related to the recovery image not being properly flashed, therefore not flashing other zips correctly... after re-flashing the recovery a few times, I was able to boot up with Chevy's 1200mhz Low Voltage kernel and it runs perfectly on CM6.
Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to enable JIT, HW Acceleration and apply a fix that will boost your Quadrant scores to 1000+.
Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible for any damage you may inflict on your device. Any followed step here described is of your full responsability.
Before we start, you'll need:
1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13427114/O1_boost.zip
2. Custom recovery
(check this thread, credits: drellisdee)
After downloading (1) and flashing (2), it's a walk in the park:
1. Reboot into recovery (vol down + home + power) or via adb or whatever.
2. Toggle USB, copy the .zip you downloaded (1) over to your sdcard.
3. Flash zip from sdcard option, choose the .zip. Reboot.
How to confirm if JIT and HW accel are active?
For JIT, run a linpack. If it scores around ~7-7.5, it's active.
For HW acc it's not so easy but homescreen scrolling should be snappier.
For the fix, run a Quadrant, if it scores above 1000 or around that, it worked.
P.S. I highly advise you to flash a ROM with all these tweaks and more. Check out void ROM for example.
what does it mean for hardware acceleration in technical terms?
Is it an optimization of the os enabling some function like the just in time compiler??
After that my question...
I've already enabled jit i can flash this zip to hwacc??
thanks a lot

LOL I did the hw accel for the lg ally about 1 week ago and gave it to a few people and its leaked out already . You may also want to experiment using a different gralloc too for better performance.

You could've already shared in this section then.
Regarding the gralloc, it was going to be my next step but I don't have the phone anymore. So if anyone is interested I can provide a gralloc that should give some boost performance-wise, pm for link.
i flashed it. it seems to work fine, but before flashing it my quadrant rsul with just jit enabled was around 480 while now it's about 440?!?!?!?
What to do??
Do you have an explanation what the
dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1
setting does? I have found many links where it was mentioned but none with a good explanation, what it exactly does.
Thanks for any answers.

I just flashed your zip and now my result went from 460~ to 1024 lolz
I would like to know what this does exactly :>
I'll test in normal use if there will be some improvements
Did the same thing - 1020! Can someone explain it?
I flashed last update when i try it with some games they seem to be smoother and more fluid. the delay in the browser in zooming whit multitouch are not solved but in general it seemms to work really good.
quadrant full benchmark reach 1016!!!
thanks for your improvements
Awesome! 1074 was my best result.

Btw, try without hardware acceleration (I think it eats around 50 points @ quadrant):

Introducing my first build for a kernel+ROM combo with battery profiling which decreases the speed of the CPU depending on battery level. It is automatic and overclocked at 1504 ghz and goes all the way down to 912 mhz. More details of the kernel and ROM below.
---------
KERNEL
---------
1. Includes Blades overclocking features with max at 1646 mhz (very stable in my tablet)
2. Includes undervolting feature (thanks to CPAjustes)
3. Includes voodoo sound (thanks to supercurio)
4. Overclocked 2d/3d gpu at 400 mhz
5. VDE and sound overclocked at 300 mhz
6. Based from ASus release
7. data/app feature included
8. netarchy's disable tap included (just download his app to enable)
9. VOLTAGES per frequency are as follows
1646 - 1450mv
1600 - 1400mv
1504 - 1300mv
1400 - 1200mv
1200 - 1150mv
1000 - 1100mv
912 - 1050mv
817 - 1025mv
760 - 975mv
608 - 950mv
503 - 875mv
456 - 825mv
314 - 800mv
216 - 750mv (can be uundervolted to 725mv per Pimpmycpu)
------
ROM
------
1 Battery profiling (Thanks to Calkulin) are as follows
a. automatically overclocked at 1504 with battery level at 100-90%
b. overclocked at 1400mhz when battery level drops to 90-50%
c. overclocked at 1200mhz when battery is at 50-15%
d. underclocked at 912mhz when battery level is at 15% and below
2. Battery profiling is automatically disabled when SetCPU is installed so you can overclocked more when you install SetCPU (or you can edit the init.d script)
3. Pimpmycpu is installed for undervolting and stress testing
4. Voodoosound App free version is installed
5. Dual battery widget installed
6. RAM script optimizations include (Thanks to Juwel)
7. CPU governor set at interactive
8. SDCARD optimization script by me and Calkulin
9. Based from 8.4.4.7 release
10. system/app deodexed (thanks to Roach2010 for this)
Here is the link
www.tunerspotter.com/clemsyn/CLEMSYNkernelROMcombo.zip
HOW TO INSTALL:
1. BACKUP..BACKUP..Backup
2. Enter Clockworkmod Recovery
3. Clear data/factory
4. Install zip file
5. Reboot
TIPS
1. Please do not enable "Force minimal freq when sleeping" in Pimpmycpu because it will have a conflict with the battery profiling script.
2. Install netarchy's app to disable tap to click
3. Install Setcpu to disable Battery profiling script (will allow you to overclock more)
4. If you want to overclock (or underclock) more without installing SETCPU, edit the init.d script at /system/etc/init.d/02cpufreq_screenstate_scaling
5. To try a certain speed without installing SETCPU or editing the script. Enable the frequency at PIMPmycpu and you can test it out. It will default back to battery profiling speed when the screen turn off or when you press the power button.
BTW, this is an overclocked build so your mileage will vary If you are unable to boot at 1504, do not install this. Thanks.

Would really depend on how much you can undervolt your cpu (via pimpmycpu) and how you set the profiling frequencies at (editing the init.d script). With the script, you can edit a certain frequency at a certain battery level Ihave included File expert (to mount system/etc as rw) and Estro File explorer
This looks awesome! I'm excited to use this combo, will a restore of stock rom data cause issues? I figure it does hence the backup/wipe steps but its still worth asking
Sent from my pimped out cappy
yup,that is what i`m talking about more roms more pleasure for us
awesome job Clemsyn
Wow, nice work.
But i'm only interessted in the kernel. Will you further support the other thread with your kernels?
4. If you want to overclock (or underclock) more without installing SETCPU, edit the init.d script at /system/etc/init.d/02cpufreq_screenstate_scaling
What if I want to overclock the gpu some more? Can I do that?
Thanks Clem!!
Great to see new cooks in the kitchen, variety is the spice!
I am keen to try your ROM combo without installing SetCPU, however wanted to ask a question.
AS we all know, when we sign into market our tablets efficiently start automatic download and installation of programs we have purchased/previously installed.
I purchased SetCPU a while back and it's often one of the first apps to get installed.
I will try to be quick and cancel the installation, but wondered if it does happen to get installed, and then I uninstall it, will the automatic CPU throttling settings be messed up or will they automatically kick back in if they see SetCPU is uninstalled?
Thanks!
One other really important question:
Does this have the option to boot into recovery (long press power) like Prime 1.5?
Just makes any future changes that much easier.
Thanks.

If setcpu is installed, then battery profiling script is disabled. If uninstalled, then battery profiling is enabled upon reboot.

When setting up your gmail account after flashing a ROM you don't have to load previously installed/downloaded apps. Just don't check the "Restore data from my account" tick box.. Might be named slightly different but that's the gist of it.
If you have it load to reinstall your apps then you can get around this by either using Titanium Backup, or Astro file manager has a free app-backup but it doesn't work as well (can't get secured apps, etc.)
browser fc
Everytime i go into browser settings i get fc.... tried clearing data in apps... no dice.
Smooth rom otherwise ! Looking forward to updates.

Try using Pimpmycpu and choosing a lower frequency for max (don't turn off the screen or else the battery profile will push it backup to 1504).
Can it be use with CPU Master instead of setcpu?
If not, what is the different with working with one but not the other?

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:
Looks fast, but no camera and galery ? In settings is tab - viper4android, when I tap on it, I see Unfortunatlely, Settings has stopped. Thank you for your best work.

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 .
Sent from my Iocean X7 using xda app-developers app
i've had your other rom for a while now and i cant wait to try this one out.
before i install, does this have the stock android launcher(/icons)?
really nice work here sambaaa
just stared to download your ROM and little bit hurry to try it. LOL

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,...).

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 .

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!

i've had your other rom for a while now and i cant wait to try this one out.

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 ?

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!

Have a nice day
Before starting you must understand what driver will be good for you
Best Battery Backup: 530 (Stock)
Balanced Battery Backup and Performance: 682
Maximum Performance: 707
FAQ:
Q) Some app is not working after using the drivers what to do?
A) Add that app to magisk hide and it will work since it's gonna use stock (530) drivers now
Q) Battery Backup is not good on drivers
A) ofcourse battery backup will be reduced and phone temperatures will be increased since you're squeezing out as much performance as possible from your phone
Q) So and So person is having better performance than me, why is that?
A) Every SOC (Processor) is built different (silicon lottery) so it is quite normal for some people to perform better than others
Q) My games have started stuttering after using the drivers what should I do?
A) This is because the driver wipes shader cache when installing to prevent unnecessary errors, just run your games for 10-15mins and you should be fine
Steps to Use:
First and foremost!
PLEASE flash Bootloop Protector in magisk and select Patch my boot image and then Reboot
Now choose the file you like and then go to magisk and flash it then reboot and you're done!
Performance Uplifts provided:
682: Provides 10-12% Performance Uplift over stock 530 drivers in GPU based scenarios
707: Provides 15% and above Performance Uplift over stock 530 drivers in GPU based scenarios
Whatever you do you're doing at your own risk so I won't take responsibility even if thermonuclear war breaks out or your mom throws you out of your house

Lawnchair is a launcher.

Can you please add stock drivers to flash if it wouldn't work on my firmware?

To return to stock drivers you just need to remove the module from magisk and reboot
