Deodex Huawei G6 - L11 KitKat ROM_V100R001C432B370CUSTC432D005 - Huawei Ascend G6

==== Deodex B370 G6 -L11 Full ROM, stable =====
Hi!
Managed to turn the ROM B370 Kit Kat for the G6 -L11 in to deodex , completed and stable, no lag, allowing transform it in a ROM like you want, the way you want.
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
The reason behind the process has to do with the advantage that, with an APK deoxed if you can change the colors , layout and application of image files , thereby being able to make a custom theme for that application or the phone in general. It is customary to use to Metamorph application for applying themes in Deodexed ROMs .
Although the habitual use of a ROM Deodexed is said previously , support changing the visual appearance of the applications and the operating system, the Deodexed ROMs have other advantages such as being lighter in RAM usage , but then take a little more space on the internal storage. It is an exchange that usually makes sense to do , since usually the devices have more internal storage than RAM . Moreover, the ROMs odexed occupy a little less space on the internal storage, but consume more RAM, and are impossible or very difficult to amend.

If Rom starts with Android instead of Huawei logo, you must do this:
ROM is allready rooted and with Busybox, so install the root browser ( from Google Play) , go to /data/custom.bin folder and open as text, in my custom.bin says vodafone/pt, so my folder inside the /cust says vodafone, and inside vodafone says pt. Change as it says on your custom.bin . Do a factory reset, Done.

Sorry but no, is the same phone and hardware but software configuration is different, you get issues.

Well, I threw caution to the wind, thought to my self "I hate this phone anyway" and flashed this rom, lo and behold
It seems to be working quite well, I dont have a 4g capable sim card so cant test that, but i hate this phone a little less, now that it doesn't look like a pile of crap.
Edit: 3oct15
4g works flawlessly

Is a great phone, Huawei is not good with software... but can be fixed!

if you want to know more about G6 go to this page in Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/huawei.g6.development/
See the pinned post.
And if you want to test "my" Rom, use Twrp and flash this zip:
https://mega.nz/#!X4wj3LSI!zdU1NavVcK2KA7kwQzGrQEhnOfB011UdkDm2fJs523U
Have root, and use root browswer to change cust folder to your provider.
go to /data, look for custom.bin file, open like a text file, you will see same thing like for example hz/pt
now go to /cust folder, change vodafone to -> hz, open it and change default to -> pt, easy! Use small fonts! Hz is diferent from hz!
Now do a factory reset.
Enjoy!

*UPDATE 2* Here is a custom firmware ( most of functions are working and rooted ) , all credits to yiminghung and angelobiz, as usual general instruction and faster links are brought to you by zBeYuz
0. How To Flash Haipai Noble I9220 Firmware On YouTube By Angelobiz
1. Before upgrade to this firmware, remember to backup all your apps using My Backup or Titanium Backup so that we can restore those apps later.
Download ADB driver if you have not installed it ( Tested on Windows 7 )
You must have debug usb active in your phone. this driver need for use adb command example for root script or use MTP function.
2. Download firmware + flashing tool + drivers from here: May 7 Firmware With New System.img
OR Only Driver For Haipai I9220: Drivers
3. Unrar the firmware, turn off your phone and take the out battery, then plug the phone into your PC.
4. Install the driver from the firmware folder that you unrar before, then plug out the phone.
5. a) Go to Flashtool folder and run SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe
b) Choose Factory Database --> Setup data source file: "MTK_DATABASE.mdb"
c) Choose File --> Open download agent file: "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"
d) Choose Scatter File: "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" in Firmware folder.
e) Choose the figure same as the picture: SmartPhone MPD.jpg, which can be found in Firmware folder.
6. Make sure the phone turned off and the battery was taken out. Click Start All and plug your phone into the PC then wait about 5-10 minutes for the flashing process to finish ( Write OK ! ).
7. After it is done, we are good to change the IMEI. However, before that try to turn on the phone to see whether the phone is working or not.
8. If everything is ok, excepted IMEI was missing, download IMEI Changer Tool from here: IMEI Changer For Mtk6575
9. Unrar, install the program and run SN_STATION, which can be found on your desktop. Follow the instruction in the Chinese manual, but we only need to follow the picture in that manual.
The file "Modem Database" and "AP Database" is in firmware folder. You need to choose exactly the file that you see in the picture.
10. Write down two IMEIs on the back of your phone ( you need to take the battery out to see it ).
11. Again turn off your phone and take the battery out, then plug the phone into your PC, but this time we need to put the battery back in very quickly as soon as we see:
"COM port searching and preloader handshake ok" on SN Writer Log.
11. Wait until "Write Result Indicator" becomes green, then the IMEI has changed successfully.
OR you can try to change your IMEIs by using ZOPO IMEI ( Thanks to colouriste )
1. REMOVE SIM CARD(S) FIRST !
2. Check "Dual Imei"
3. Type in original IMEI #'s 1 & 2 and then
4. Click "Write"
Enjoy the new firmware with GPS working, wifi improved, front camera working, beautiful font and more...

Tips + Tricks:
1. Thanks mikeysteele: "One thing I noticed after installing Set CPU is the kernel defaults to the Performance Governor. This means the CPU is always running at the maximum frequency so that might explain the poor battery life. I changed it to the On Demand governor and my battery life has improved."

FIGHTING !!!
Hi I would like to update some information about this phone,
1. The resolution of the screen is 800x480.
2. The original battery with 2800mAH capacity is so so, normal usage about 1 -2 days. On the battery stated that the cell made in Japan, yet finished in China.
3. The phone comes with the case with Samsung logo on it, together with a screen protector (not really good).
4. Additional infomation:
a) The front camera is on the left hand side, which is quite bad, because the Galaxy Note's is on the right side.
b) 3.5mm audio port is very depth, I have no idea why, so normal headphone or earphone like Beats Monster,for example, will be loose. But we still can use the one comes with the phone.
c) Camera is 8Mp and the picture looks quite nice if there is enough light.
d) It runs very smooth without any issues.
e) There is no touch pen.
f) Android 4.0.3 without Google Play or Market, Youtube, Google Map.
g) The camera sometime has a noise, like tac tac, when the apps need to use it ?!
At the end ? I still like it and I will try to update other good and bad points later if I can find any
*Update on 17/05/12*
h) After a long usage, the phone using original rom sometime can't rotate the screen even the "auto rotate option" was on.
--> Solution: Remove the battery and put in back in 30s, the phone will be functional as normal.

Please share this with us!
I received this same device today. It is not dual core, see: http://dualsim-smartphone.com/img/smartphone/i9220_mtk6575_dualsim_8.jpg
If any vendor claims it is so, what they are referring to is that it has both a 'normal' cpu plus a graphics chip. This is normal and its not the same as dual core!
Neither is the display qHD, as that would be 960x540. This device is 800x480. The display is... mediocre. I don't find the low density to be an issue, but a grainy texture is visible on light areas, e.g. the background in the Messaging app. Colour accuracy is also pretty bad: you get what you pay for.
FWIW I arrived here by googling DF-BPA-13 as I have the same issue. My temporary solution is to load apks onto the microsd on my old phone, then install those through "File Manager"
Thank you, guys. I will update my post above.
Btw, Does anybody hear anything about customised and rooted rom for this phone ?
To richardkemp, can you teach me how to recognize a dual-core phone ?
I thought all the mtk6575 phones were the dual-core phone.
Thanks in advanced.
@zbeyuz: The picture I linked above is from the link you provided in your first post. The first line of the results on the left hand screen shows "Number of cores: 1". Further the vendor correctly lists the chipset as the Mediatek MTK6575. Googling this might bring you (eventually!) to Mediatek's product page for this chipset. You can be sure that if it were actually dual core, the manufacturer would want to tell you about it: they mention no such thing.
Something I noticed while browsing chinese phone websites was that different sellers would provide different specifications for the same devices. Some would claim that a chip was dual core, by counting the presence of a separate main processor and graphics processor as if it was 'dual core'), and some would claim higher chip speed, e.g. 1GHz main processor + 500mhz graphics processor = 1.5GHz total. This is misleading and nothing more than a sales tactic.
It's a shame there's so much misinformation, the vendor I purchased my Haipad from marketed it as having an AMOLED screen, which it plainly doesn't.
As for ROMs, I'm gonna get stuck in to some ROM cooking once my exams are over, but that won't be for another month. In the mean time, I sure would appreciate any tips on getting root. To save anyone checking, SuperOneClick doesn't work.
Additional info on the device:
- Screen is capable of detecting 5 simultaneous multitouch points
- (In the UK at least) Network location does not work. Google maps cannot find my location from cell towers, or from my Wifi. GPS does work however.
- My device came without Android market installed, and as mentioned above, does not work once it is installed.
- Either the proximity sensor or the light sensor (top left by the front camera) flashes faint red constantly when the screen is on. Not a big issue but slightly distracting. The values reported by the prox sensor are just 0 and 1, no middle ground.
- The light sensor reports only 3 light levels: 160, 1200 and 2600. This makes automatic backlight pretty rubbish.
- The speed of the phone is fine - I will add some benchmarks later. Right now it's a pain in the butt since I can't get the benchmark apps from the market.
- WiFi signal seems weaker than I'm used to - my reference devices are my desktop PC, my Fujitsu ST5112 Win7 tablet, my (retired) HTC Desire, and my girl's Samsung Galaxy Y Pro and Asus Win7 Ultrabook. These all received moderate to good WiFi signal in my room from my WNDR3700 N router, all capable of streaming video at this distance. The Haipad on the other hand shows weak signal in the notification bar, and subjectively it is much slower than when it is downstairs nearer the router, a bit of a disappointment here.
- Lots of info on the device is available by starting the "EngineerMode" activity belonging to the "EngineerMode" package. This can be done by making a homescreen shortcut with a third party launcher (eg Nova), and choosing to add an activity shortcut. I recommend only look, don't modify any settings in case you break something!
- I don't know if it's just me but I find the overscroll elasticity way too 'loose'. If I flick a list hard and it hits the end, it takes a long time for the list to settle into the correct position. I look forward to being able to tweak this...
- The battery seems to charge quite slowly. I know it's large so getting to full charge would take longer than with a standard battery, but I am used to large batteies - I used a 2200mAh battery in my HTC Desire and I'm pretty sure it charged faster (using the same charger). Of course a factor in this will be that I have had the device active with the screen on almost constantly, so a lot of power is being diverted to that.
- My phone is capable of connecting to my network (t-mobile)'s proper 3G service, but seems to sometimes choose a 2G service instead, even when there is just as good 3G signal.
Will update this with more as I think of them.
zbeyuz, you say your camera is on the left, I presume you mean the front camera? the main/rear camera is right in the middle.
@richardkemp: Thank you for your quick reply. I did mean the camera in the front is on the left. The main camera is right in the middle, yes.
However, last time, when I tried to put on the Galaxy Note's case, the main camera didn't fit in the right position of the case. Maybe, because the screen was bigger than the real Galaxy Note's, I think ?
Update: The default browser of phone ran quite fast even there was a low wireless signal, but the browser didn't have back and forward button, is that right ?

7.You will see two more app was installed in your phone,that mean root phone successfully.
After successfully rooted, it will install rootexplorer.apk Chinese version which is rather useless for installing Market because it's all in Chinese. You should be able to find Filexpert.apk from the web, and install it.
Here is how to install Google Play Store:
1. Download Vending.apk from http://downloads.androidadvices.com/apks/Vending.3.3.12.apk
2. copy Vending.apk to \system\app\ folder in your phone by using Filexpert in RW mode
3. change permission of Vending.apk file to Read/Write for Owner; Read for others
4. shutdown your phone.
5. switch on your phone, you will see Google Play Store app, and enjoy!

Thanks a bunch bthoven. I took the liberty of tidying up the script a bit, and including the latest Google Play Store and an English root file manager (Filexpert, as you suggested).
I put it on mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?qnmvebaa3k8usjw
Same instructions as before, just extract the archive and run TPSparkyRoot.bat with your phone connected by usb cable, and USB debugging mode enabled. If you wish you can disable USB debugging mode once this process is done.
Beware that the play store I included is the mod version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422, to allow you to access apps without region restrictions. In future we can properly set the phone's region in build.prop should remove the need for this temporary fix. That's for another day..

Yes, you can.
Mine is i9220+ model, ICS. I got a root script from my vendor. Very easy to root.

Gimme your system image pls, could be handy when trying to port ics rom for my own mtk6573
That's great.
Strange I can't buy any apps. Free apps are ok, though.

[ROM][S3] BackToBasics_v3 (based on RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.11.401.110)

So here we go I can say finally I managed to produce firs custom rom for our beloved HTC One S C2 (I called it this way cause that is how on gsmarena.net is presented). If we ever get a sub forum this is how I suggest it is called. It is not very special rom, but it is a start. cause I don't like bloatware on my phone, I've tried to remove as many unnecessary stuff as I could remember, and I could miss.
Since this is my very first rom I've build with kitchen (for public use at least), don't be to harsh on me. I will try to improve it, and remove even more sens components, cause I just prefer stock experience.
You will need android sdk on you computer (you may know it as adb shell)
REQUIREMENTS
Unlocked Bootloader and Root access
TWRP Recovery
INSTALLATION
1. Download the ROM, extract only boot.img where you have android-sdk installed installed in folder platform-tools
2. Make a backup of your apps with Titanium backup or other similar app (so that you can restore them after flashing my rom)
3. Boot into Recovery (with GooManager, or restart phone and hold volume down, when in fastboot choose recovery with volume down and press power button)
4. Make a BACKUP in recovery!
5. WIPE! Do a factory reset and System wipe
6. "install zip from sdcard"
7. "choose zip from sdcard"
8. Flash the ROM
9. Go back to the main menu of recovery, choos reboot, and then reboot to bootloader.
10. Flash kernel with Command prompt (go into direcotry where you have extracted boot.img) and run:
(step by step guide)
Short version:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
11. Wait until android boots up, it will take a few mintues (5-10), because it is deodexed, but only first boot takes longer after that it is normal.
What is working:
Since this is sense based rom all the functionality should work (calling, texting, mobile data, GPS, wifi, bluetooth, camera, etc)
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
- There might be some reports of some services stop executing, this is nothing to worry about, it would just be something that I have removed cause it is only sens based and drains battery, but it should impact with phone experience.
- Due to all HTC widgets removal, not all the lockscreen options are functional (like people).
FUTURE:
I hope I'll have time and the will to make this rom to look and feel almost as an AOSP based (that is with statusbar, lockscreen, dialer, settings, etc). But I am still learning so don't expect to much. If there is themer among you or modder, I would really apperaciate some help with this stuff. Together we can make this something ! I would also need some mirror if this rom will become popular.
WARRINING:
This rom is for HTC One S with S3 processor only!!!
Flashing any kind of custom rom voids your warranty, and it could brick your phone. I am not responsible if this happens to you. So you flash this software completely at your own risk!
That being said here is the download link.
BackToBasics_v1
BackToBasics_v2:
(you have to downloade both rar files in sam folder and then extract from .part1, it will extract flashable .zip)
PART 1
PART 2
BackToBasics_V3
If you are coming from lower version of this rom, just make backup, wipe cache, flash rom and you are good to go. No need to factory reset (data wipe) or system wipe in this case

Is this mode available for One S? This would be first thing I would like to change for sure :good:
There is some info HERE
Try this WIFI fix and report if it works. I am gonna test soon. And if it does I will include it in next version.

I suggest you to change thread caption to v2, and to move up changelog for v2.

Kingzone K1 Turbo Tweaks & Fixes

Hi guys,
I wanted to post this here in case it helps anyone else enjoy their device while we wait for kitkat for our device :silly:
There are a few things that I had issues with with the K1T to start off with:
ROOT!
Install Custom Recovery
Slow and inaccurate GPS
Inability to install Xposed Framework
Lack of useful Cyanogenmod features like advanced reboot menu
Expandable volume settings
Volume too loud at lowest setting
Gyroscope not working
GPS being constantly on!
Navigation buttons going dark while screen is on
Auto brightness too bright in dark
Outdated GPS EPO files
OK so to start off with I'm going to assume that you have adb tools installed on your PC and has some idea of how to use it.
I have tested this for the Kingzone K1 Turbo only. Regardless use this guide at your own risk.
All these changes were made on Stock ROM (0502L009_20140815)
1. Root:
This is quite straightforward. Download the attached RootGenius program and follow the simple instructions HERE
2. Install Custom Recovery:
Download my TWRP-based recovery HERE and place it on the root of your SD-Card.
Install MobileUncle from Play Store and choose Recovery Update in the menu after accepting root prompt.
Select the recovery.img file that you have on your SD-Card and follow the prompts.
Done.
3. Fix GPS Issues(could be used for other MTK devices too)
First of all, depending on were you live, you should change the NTP values and additional server values in the gps.conf file since they are set up for China(unless you live in China of course)
Since I live in Europe, I chose the European NTP entries.
I would suggest that you find the entries for your region HERE
This is what my gps.conf looks like(/system/etc/gps.conf):
Code:
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_2=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_3=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1
ACCURACY_THRES=4000
SUPL_PORT=7276
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
To you see yours type in adb shell:
Code:
cat /system/etc/gps.conf
To edit yours use something like ES File Explorer and only edit the first 4 lines to match the servers for your region.
Then delete files /data/misc/mtkgps.dat & /data/misc/EPO.DAT
Reboot your device and go outside.
With internet access and some maps application or something open... wait until it gets a fix. It can take a few minutes this first time because it has to regenerate the files that was deleted.
From now on your GPS fix should be quicker but your accuracy still might not be 100% this will be much improved once you DeOdex your ROM in a later step below which I HIGHLY recommend doing.
4. Inability to install Xposed Framework:(could be used for other MTK devices too)
The reason for this is that you need to DeOdex the stock ROM before this would work.
I found an excellent article HERE by @superstone to deodex our device.
I've slightly simplified the steps though since they are not all required.
DO A FULL BACKUP in recovery ...... just in case...
Ensure you are able to use adb. If not google for a guide that shows you how to install adb tools.
Download the attached customized MTK deodex tool from the Unreal Odexer guys as can be seen in THIS thread and extract onto your PC.
Use the tool as per the included instructions to extract and deodex the files from your phone.
Then copy the files from the app and framework folders on your PC to your SD-CARD to /sdcard/done_app & /sdcard/done_framework
Next in command prompt on your PC:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
stop
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/app/*.jex
cp /sdcard/done_framework/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.jex
echo dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast >> /system/build.prop
reboot recovery
In recovery wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache.
Reboot and wait for the first boot to complete. It will take some extra time while recreating the cache.
After this you should be able to install Xposed framework without issues AND much improved GPS accuracy and fix time.
5, 6, 10, 11:(could be used for other MTK devices too)
Install the Gravitybox xposed module after you installed the framework as described above and you will be able to customize ALL of these items so that it is very Cyanogenmod-like.
Go through the options in Gravitybox to find what you would like, I promise you you will like the stock ROM much more after
7. Media volume to high on lowest setting through loudspeaker.(could be used for other MTK devices too)
in mobileuncle tools go to the Engineering Mode(MTK)>Hardware>Audio>LoudSpeaker Mode
Choose Type = Media & Level = 0
Then set the value to something lower.... I chose 120 but this is up to you... you can change the other volume steps here as well but I left it.
8. Gyroscope not working.
This needs to be fixed in the source... I'm still hoping that I'll be able to do this one day
9. GPS constantly being on.
Under the All Apps menu, force-close and disable the weather apps that came with the phone, they are hogging the GPS.
12. Outdated GPS EPO files
I've made a simple app EPO Tools which will when run download the newest EPO.DAT and EPO.MD5 files from epodownload.mediatek.com instead of the under resourced FTP location to a temporary location under /data/data and then copy it to the /data/misc directory where needed.
It also has the ability to automatically and silently download the EPO files on a daily schedule as set by you.
Because you are copying to /data/misc, you need to have root.
It does nothing apart from telling you "EPO updated" when its one.
Would most likely also work for other Mediatek devices that use EPO files.
If there is any interest in a lean ROM based on a DUMP of the changes above, I can see if I can produce something like that.
Anyway I hope this helps someone. If you have any questions then please feel free to ask. :good::good:
How can i see if my gps is always on?
You will see the gps indicator in the status bar when you are not using any Gps related applications.
I don't have a gps logo when i have gps disabled..
Of course you wouldn't because it is then disabled.
Congratulation to your custom recovery! Im still trying/learning to make one myself. I'm currently following the Cyanogen porting guide, but I fear a successful outcome is impossible for the time being with the mtk6592 chipset. Nevertheless I'm learning a lot, so I'll keep trying.
The GPS-Fix can be done without rooting:
Go to your folder where you have adb.exe installed, create a file gps.conf with the content in the first post.
Then open a Terminal in this folder. Type:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /sys /system
exit
adb push /system/etc/ gps.conf (<- note the space between /etc/ and gps.conf)
cheeers
Added ad-free EPO DL app.
Nice effort, thank you! I am still hesitating to apply this since I haven't given up hope on the elusive Kitkat update. Will wait until the end of the year and then go for a custom ROM.
gyro not fixed still?
hi I received my k1 turbo today as I wanted a big screen good phone and to use it for google cardboard VR BUT my gyro does not seem to work, ive tried all the sensor test apps and it only seems to work in 1 of them but the rest and most used apps don't find it, BUT I downloaded a few games that require ou to move the phone to play the game and that works, also I downloaded a gyro 3 space planted thing where you move your phone to move around the planted to make it look 3D and that works
google cardboard does not work and non of the apps for that done as when you move your head the game or apps don't move as the gyro does not work, so is there definatly no fix for it that I can do? if not then im going to return it and get my money back as the phone is basically faulty, I really love the build and the screen the camera though is really bad lol there is no way in hell this is a true sony 14mp sensor, all pics look bad, even in good daylight and then when you take one and zoom in a tiny tiny bit to see the details the quality is horrid lol, also in video mode you can not choose the res of the video it only says low or high quality, also every spec list for this phone says it can do 1080p at 60fps or 720p at 120 fps lol which is a lie, though I have a nokia 1020 which is pretty much the best camera phone around so that could be why this k1 camera looks bad to me
I would live with crappy camera if the gyro was working
ALSO did this phone have a gyro problem when it was the android 4.2 or has it always had the problem
You bought the phone for the same reason I did, VR...
Unfortunately no the gyroscope doesn't work and never has in any rom [emoji20]
I will be getting a refund and posting it back then, I have messaged the seller, its obviously a big fault with all the phones so its not acceptable
also I think I may have a battery problem with mine as well, it was 10% so I put it on charge and after about 10-15 mins it was at 95% I took it off charge and it dropped back to 8% within 5 mins, I then left it for 2 hrs and just does the same
this is what you get for buying cheap phones I guess, this is the last time I do it, think I will just pay the extra for a big brand, ive never had problems with big brand phones before lol, it a big shame though as the screen and built is fantastic and id say the best build phone ive every had :/

4.4.2 Kit Kat
Now that the KitKat update has come along, do you think you could help me out a little bit with that process? I thought it would be way easier than this. If I at least had an idea of what went where, that would be pretty helpful. I just want to go to the regular Stock 4.4.2 and I'm not sure really if it's done differently than a custom firmware or what.. Thanks!!
Off to a good start with the K1-T
Hi
I just ordered a K1-T last week and am waiting for it to get hear and I want to I guess get off on the right foot, so ware do I start ? Root it, put on recovery and back it up ?
And then move on to a custom ROM ?
I have never had grate luck backing up phones in the past seems that once you wipe it there never the same. and on one S4 I had I did not know that if I updated it that I could not us a custom Roms
and it was realty tough to UN-update it.
and I it looks like on (Need-ROM) a lot of Roms are pre-rooted and recovery I don't know how that works? You need root and recovery to install any thing don't you?
my last PH was a note 3 and it went for a ride on the roof of my truck.
I have been wanting a K1 scene it first came out, and now I just don't want to brick it
my wife is not to understanding about that sort of thing.
So can you please get me on the right track with it thanks –Rick
I have been following all the threads I can about the K1-T on XDA but I don't know my way around
and of if I need to contact any one else. hake, i don't even know ware to look for this reply.
( i am clueless i guess )
Sorry I am a vary poor speller
and if you can email me that this not got though.
Do not update to KitKat, do not flash a custom ROM. Just root. Phone runs best as is. You may miss XPosed at first, but there's a lot can be done with root alone. Just clean China apps.

OK , so you are saying if it is not broke don't fix it, once it is rooted uninstall the bloatware ?
what about auto on-line updates, shoud i prevent it from updating its self ?
from what i have seen i looks like a nice OS out of the box, a little plain maybe but nice.
If it comes with JB it will not update itself to KK. Run any updates from OTA, though.
Yes OTA updates are the last thing to worry about when it comes to kingzone [emoji16]

Asus Zenfone 5 Ultimate Guide:ROOT,ROM,TWEAK,BATTERY IMPROVEMENT AND CUSTOMISATION

DWYOR
I'm not responsible for bricked devices,or stuff.
ZENFONE 5 USERS RUNNING STOCK LOLLIPOP ZENUI:
ROOTING:
For people who've got problems rooting their phone,visit this link;
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...qglux2tUOzpArqxRA&sig2=YPIHz4QZdh7u7DK-vDfvlw
For driver problems, install
i)Minimal ADB tools
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...C49AD3wKxuFOhSRRw&sig2=ZyGJtmdaXZd4xMii7EU9wQ
ii)Intel pc driver

iii)PC Link
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...pKsojr-7Gg4N-wzkA&sig2=as2uyM3aDEOr7rTa4QpYoQ
This will ensure that the phone gets connected with ADB.USB debugging is a must.
XPOSED INSTALLATION:
Once you root it, get xposed:
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...4hIIplpc2uCc71RGw&sig2=81KGwq6e_se15gmH9Nys5g
Once you install it, you may get the bootanimation playing for long.
If that happens,force switch off your zenfone by pressing the power button for 8 seconds, then switch it on while pressing the volume up button.
It will enter droidboot,where you can go to the recovery.
Once in recovery,if it shows no command,press the power and volume down button together and with your index and ring finger,and then use your middle finger to press the volume up button.
Once you do that, you'll get options ,one of which will be wipe cache partition.
Do that,and then reboot your phone.Your zenfone will be good to go.
Now ,you'll be able to do whatever the hell you want with LPThemer.I changed the notification bg using that.I use gravity box for media and power tweaks.Xuimod is for a particular listview animation that I love,explore it guys.And the rest are for convenience.Screenshot below.
QUICK SETTINGS AND SYSTEMUI THEMING:
Now for the quick settings,as all of you might be wondering ,here's what I did:
Downloaded the apk of zenmaterial theme for zenfone 2
Used fx root explorer to unzip the apk.
Long click on the app and press open with using Archive Extractor.

BATTERY BACKUP IMPROVEMENT:

1 :Greenify
2: Deep sleep battery saver
3owernap
Use the optimum settings you want to in these.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT:
Download No-Frillz CPU control from play store and use optimum settings.
I think pretty much has been covered up till now.Enjoy your custom phone.
If you want to customize it more,get a custom ROM, CM 12.1.Guide below:
CM12.1 ON ZENFONE 5[STABLE][UNOFFICIAL]
This ROM has two versions ,one by Trann huu trinh and the other by Edwin Adato.
After installing one of the below,flash xposed using TWRP.The zip link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3432558&d=1439048412
1:Guide for installation of Tranh's ROM:
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/07/rom-cm-121-cyanogenmod-for-zenfone-5.html
Everything is mentioned in this.Flash the new system.img and sdcard fix boot.img .That would be more than enough.
The only bug in this ROM is video playback lag. It hasn't yet been fixed.
2.Guide for Edwin's ROM:
Download the ROM from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B05UM2q8MdJFNmpWZm1TTl9qSEE/view?usp=sharing
Follow this link for installation
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/08/rom-cm-121-cyanogenmod-for-zenfone-5-doubletap-wake.html
The video playback bug was fixed in this version of the ROM,but there are other new bugs.Fortunately,all are fixable.
1.Graphic lag and battery drain, can be fixed by flashing this boot image
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B05UM2q8MdJFWFltYVl5R0FMa0E/view?usp=sharing&pli=1
2:Storage full notification,can be fixed by flashing the zip file in the link fro TWRP(guide above).Mount system,and place the zip file in the internal storage before flashing.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3D_bnxw-78yNkhzNTYwQkF1aW8/view?usp=drivesdk&pli=1
3.LED light fix:
Use root explorer.
Paste lights.clovertrail.so inside System/lib/hw.
set permission.Link is here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByqUHDVZPNxnOW1XNVNDTjl1aDg/view?usp=docslist_api
Battery backup can be further improved by using this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByqUHDVZPNxnTnQ1S1Q2ZXdaQjA/view?usp=docslist_api.
The above link has some xposed modules
AMPLIFY.APK
GREENIFY.APK
POWERNAP.APk
Ignore the rest.Install these apps and enable them in xposed and reboot the phone.Select optimum settings after that.

For people who've got problems rooting their phone,visit this link;
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...qglux2tUOzpArqxRA&sig2=YPIHz4QZdh7u7DK-vDfvlw
For driver problems, install
i)Minimal ADB tools
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...C49AD3wKxuFOhSRRw&sig2=ZyGJtmdaXZd4xMii7EU9wQ
ii)Intel pc driver
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...NHCUylg7CXCLwz-wQ&sig2=48KLS952AxFZI5TK1EndKg
iii)PC Link
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...pKsojr-7Gg4N-wzkA&sig2=as2uyM3aDEOr7rTa4QpYoQ
This will ensure that the phone gets connected with ADB.USB debugging is a must.
Once you root it, get xposed:
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...4hIIplpc2uCc71RGw&sig2=81KGwq6e_se15gmH9Nys5g
Once you install it, you may get the bootanimation playing for long.
If that happens,force switch off your zenfone by pressing the power button for 8 seconds, then switch it on while pressing the volume up button.
It will enter droidboot,where you can go to the recovery.
Once in recovery,if it shows no command,press the power and volume down button together and with your index and ring finger,and then use your middle finger to press the volume up button.
Once you do that, you'll get options ,one of which will be wipe cache partition.
Do that,and then reboot your phone.Your zenfone will be good to go.
Now ,you'll be able to do whatever the hell you want with LPThemer.I changed the notification bg using that.I use gravity box for media and power tweaks.Xuimod is for a particular listview animation that I love,explore it guys.And the rest are for convenience.Screenshot below.
Now for the quick settings,as all of you might be wondering ,here's what I did:
Downloaded the apk of zenmaterial theme for zenfone 2
Used fx root explorer to unzip the apk.
Long click on the app and press open with using Archive Extractor.
There,you will find a folder called res,and then go to drawable nodpi folder in it,where you'll be finding 3 png images .
Get the .png image which says header_bg at the end ,and create another copy of it.
Once you do that ,rename the copy as dell_header_bg.9.png and put it in the same folder.
Then,rename the quicksettings png to asus_quicksettings_bg.9.png.
Copy all of these.
Now go to the system root present in the main menu of fx .
Go to system>priv-app>asus systemui.
There you'll find the apk.extract it in a folder in the main storage.
Go to the same location in the extracted folder,ie res,and find drawable nodpi.
Paste the 4 images there .
Overwrite the images when asked.Now,delete asus_header_bg.9.png, the thumbnail is white in color.
Rename the pasted asus_header_bg.png to asus_header_bg.9.png.
The quick settings background has been set for now.
Once you manage to do that,go back to the zenmaterial extracted folder,and find drawable_sw360dp_xhdpi.In that,start marking all the png images till you reach asus_ep_statusicon_wifisharing_on.png .
Including that,copy all the files,and paste them in the corresponding folder in the extracted Systemui,overwrite when asked.
You're almost done.
Close the folders,and make the extracted Systemui a zip archive.
Once that's done,rename it to AsusSystemUi.apk .
Copy this apk,and place it in the original position ,in system> priv app> AsusSystemUi.overwrite and reboot . You're all done .

Sir i had rooted my zenfone 5 With one click method on lollypop. By root checker it shows root access. But in some apps like wifi kill and titanium backup it asks for root privileges and says no root access. Please suggest me what should i do for getting out this problem. Wifi kill app is too much necessary for me. Thanks in advance.
Is SuperSU properly configured?
That may lead to a problem.
Dont know about wifi kill but titanium can sometimes do this if u restore a backup.....please fresh install both apps and then retry...

After flashing this boot img I don't get any 3g or 2g net, please help
I don't know what is wrong with the boot image. Perfectly works for me.Try reinstalling the ROM.Make sure you wipe the cache and factory reset.Flash the boot image in the zip of the ROM first,and then Flash boot-stock.img.Hope this helps.

Always do backup from the ROM you have in your device.
If you have root you can use this tool, it do a backup option.

!YV1JLOGvXX4rvYreDXP1Twwh-V5O65NjmMxBH_7unUI
My device is working properly without any problem so far, some times bugs only be noticed with use and i will update this post with the ROM fixed.
Install it by your own free will, I am not responsible for any damage that may appear in the device.
This is a European ROM but, like the default one, there are same country restrictions in providers that may affect the 4G reception, etc, etc.
If you want to install, you can try to unlock these restrictions since the ROM has root.
>>>>> FIX CUST, CHANGE PROVIDER AFTER INSTALL ROM
This ROM was edited to vodafone pt but can be changed to your provider.
When you flash it, if you are not from Portuguese Vodafone it will show a bootanimation that say " Change Cust after settings than do a factory reset ".
This is how to fix it with Root Browser, that you can find in ROM, go to folder /DATA and seek the custom.bin file, open it as a text file, you will see something such as example zt/rt, now we left the folder /DATA and go to the folder /CUST , we open it and we will find a folder with the name vodafone, we will change the name of it to the first name that we saw in custom.bin in our example will is zt, use small font, now we entered the zt folder and we will find another folder that his name is pt, let's switch to the second name of our exemple which will be rt, use small font!
Go back and exit the app, do a factory reset. Done!
.

>>>HOW TO INSTALL ROM.
Do backup from your data with the default backup app from the phone, and you can do to a backup with TWRP from your ROM.
->You need bootloader unlocked, search in this page to how to do it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-g6/general/huawei-ascend-g4-4g-l-11-instant-t3190617/page2 ) , and need TWRP recovery FROM THIS POST, to install TWRP boot in bootloader ( fastboot - turn off the phone, press vol - and power, release power on boot than vol when you see the fastboot screen, must say in red unlocked) and execute this file to install TWRP recovery:
TWRP2d.exe
https://mega.nz/#!T9pygRAC
KEY:
!qVujE5A7RrQeQ1dqFFuRGYtUvBLWo-PfrEAGr6QoGsI
To install ROM, copy the zip file bellow ( ROM ) to sd card, turn off the phone, press vol + and power at same time, release the power on boot than vol + when you see the blue screen from TWRP, go to install and search for the zip, than swipe to install! Done. The ROM will install the default recovery again, if you want to stay with TWRP you must flash it again.
----->Before ROM flash, IF YOU WANT to win 2205MB more for apps and user data flash this zip file with TWRP like it was a ROM, you can read the steps in the end of flash, but i will write bellow. For you understand when you see "Insufficient storage available" is not the storage where music or pictures go, that is like a sdcard, is data partition storage. What this zip do? This will take from that storage where music and pictures go to give to data partition storage. Why this is good? Every one have a external sd card for pictures and music, i think and this will let to to install more apps in phone!!!
ADVISE: This do a factory reset!!

->After zip Flash DON´T GO OUT FROM TWRP!
Go to main menu -> WIPE ->Advanced Wipe ->Select data -> go to repair or change file system -> change file system ->EXT4 Swipe to Change -> Now you can reboot.

Note:
This "MAYBE" works in same L22, L33 but not dual SIM. Only testing you can know it. The Only issue for sure that will be is the home key but can be fix it with a simple app from google play.
You can try to use this app with this ROM, for now, if you want it.
Notes:
Tap Tap App is to use light sensor to unlock the phone, open Tap Tap app, Install, go to setup sensor, select "Unlock when removing the cover", unselect "Tap Tap unlocks the screen" ( G6 don´t have this option in kernel).
Busybox, is a tool to install several Linux tools to use with Android, like cmd in Windows... if i can say like this... You can use them with terminal emulator.
GPS Status helps with GPS, it gets faster, better if data is ON.

THanks again

Hello,
I am really interesting in changing the ROM of my G6-4G-L11. I began to see your video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMDnP1tBsJ4&feature=youtu.be (what a shame there is no more sound!) as some things to do is not so easy to understand for me...
I have read all the topic above and you tell " Always do backup from the ROM you have in your device". I have no root access but I will try to have it with Kingo Android, is it a good option? After that, I would use your G6knife tool. I would try to follow all the steps you describe to change the ROM but I am really afraid! In case of problem, is it possible to return to the origianl ROM?
Thanks a lot
Can you please update download link for custom ROM. I have Ascend G6 l11 LTE and really want to try this. Im from Croatia, will it work for me?
