this rom is only for S7100B
S7100B Zip's Custom Rom 1.5
the philosophy that underlies this first rom (do not expect miracles) is this:
If Android is not at 100% open, with the modifications of the house JXD, it is certainly less
for that cause this rom came WITHOUT any frills, so that the user choose what to have or not have on your console since the emu (not upgradeable) to app (not removable)
v1.5 changelog
-add theme faenza
-add advance task killer
-add my backup of vtl launcher settings
here is the v1.0 changes:
Based on the last official rom for JXD s7100b
- Removed ALL emulators series (since they could not raise it to update)
- Removed all serial applications to be added jxd (because there people who do not use FB Skype etc.)
- Removed serial launcher (really crappy)
-VTL.Launcher 1.6.5-added info link (ADW launcher launcher based on tablet-oriented
-FileManagerHD-added as a manager (much higher than 2 managers istallabili Series)
-Added superuser.apk
Changed clock font
changhed menu font
and that's it for now ..
The next thing I want to add (2.0) have a different boot animation, add a simple task killer, the theme for whiteware adw (if it works on VTL) default background, and another music video player
and then study how to make a backup of the settings of the launcher so who installs from scratch and restore my rom does not have to configure the home
A special thanks goes to SNESFAN and its forum: http://forum.openhandhelds.net/
Bitrider I create a custom rom for the first Android console,
to the reference point of android modding XDA
Android and the whole community
My community reference point for italian open source console users
www.OPENCONSOLE.it
BRIEF-Up Guide
1) get yourself a micro sd and put the files ZCR1.zip
2) make a backup of everything you need to save, (the new rom is really skinny)
3) Introduce the sd in the console
4) turn on the console by holding the keys POWER + MENU(the last button on the right of the 3 keys Android)
5) Wait and you will find in "bootloader)
6) Optional: make wipe of data/user
7) go to apply update from sd and start pressing the start / select
8) navigate and select ZCR1.zip and start the process
9) if all goes well should start installing the custom rom
10) when the process is finished you reboot system
you will come round to set up a launcher!
do not fear the next version will provide a backup of the settings in order to have everything already set

Thank you and a question
First, I want to thank you for the ZCR 1.5 custom rom. It has really been great to have an alternate to the stock firmware. I've been trying to determine how to build my own custom rom for the JXD S7100B, but appear to be missing a step somewhere.
I've constructed a ROM and created the .zip image and then attempted to sign it with signapk.jar with the typical android testkeys. However, every time I attempt to update from sdcard zip file in the recovery menu, I'm greeted with an E:signature not verified error. I've tried to create my own certificates using OpenSSL and sign with those, I've compared the ZCR 1.5 custom rom to the latest firmware update from JXD, I've even tried to simply resign the ZCR1_5.zip image with the testkeys. All attempts have failed. I've scoured the internets for as much information as I can find and I can't see any difference between what I am doing and what I am reading. I've tried executing the signapk.jar under 32-bit XP and under 64-bit Windows 7 just on the off chance that there was a precision discrepancy between the two versions of java.
I'm at a loss and would like to know if you would consider outlining the process you use to sign the .zipped image? Do you use jarsign or signapk or some other tool? Are you signing with something other than the testkey certs?
Thanks,
jkgamer

Can someone help me ?
Please note this is a rewrite and cleanup of first post. Original firstpost is in post#3.
Here I publish the ROM's I make for the MT6575 based Lenovo Dual SIM phone
The current and advised ROM is A750_ROW_S114_cybermaus_ICS_V3.1 described in post#2 below
This is the original A750 thread, but as not everyone can post in developer threads, I also have a publicly available new Q&A thread.
I advise you post your question here (if a more advanced and development specific A750 question) or in the Q&A question.
I am not going to be policing, so you can post where you like, but I invite everyone to use this new thread for any Q&A, and this thread for ROM releases and deep development talk only. Please understand I do not know everything, so using the Q&A thread is better then PM'ing me, as that way maybe others know the answer too.
Also, I am moving file hosting to Dev-Host. So if you encounter a dead link to a ROM file, do look here in my Dev-Host folder.
ICS IceCream Sandwich
Starting 2012/09/12 I have a second flavor of ICS ROM for the A750
ICS V1 ~ V1.3 are based on the original Lenovo A750 ROM's Most people tried them, but went on to APKHOT because of multilang. There was a V2, but never released
ICS V3 and onward is based on the Lenovo P700 ROM, see below
ICS V1 series
It is a update.zip type update. If you already got S306, and rooted/gapps'ed it yourself, you could stick to that, this is the same, with some minor extra cleanup.
'Normal' cleanup actions:
- Prevented update from overwriting Recovery
- Added root (Chainfire) & gapps (CM9 120429) & Maps & Streetview
- Cleaned Chinese & SmsReg
- Replace talking Unicom bootup with silent butterfly
- Set to US/en & added MoreLocale2
- Added MobileUncle 2.0.9
Instructions for A750_S306_120530_cybermaus_ICS_V1:
Assuming you have the custom recovery. If not, flash the recovery from my 4-shared using the flash tool.
- Put S306 V1 zip file on SD card (do not unzip)
- Also put S306 V1.3 zip file on the SD card (do not unzip)
- Boot into Recovery
- First apply V1, then apply V1.3
- Potentially, clear userdata and cache, especially if you come from any S14x GB
- Reboot, and wait for it to complete.
BTW: It should probably be noted that while I packaged V1.2 and V1.3, it was again bgcngm who we have to thank for knowing how to solve the location problems.
If you already lost recovery due to the S306 OTA update, reinstall it using the flash method from first post.
Please always respond if you tested it, even if you did not like it.
Oh, and if you do like it, press the thanks button of course.
ICS V3 series
For a long time I guessed the P700 is similar to the A750, but why bother. Until I recently heard it has a multilingual ROW (Rest Of World 海外版) version!
So I took the leap, and transplanted the A750 kernel into the P700 ROM (needed because the screen driver is different), and installed it on my A750.
It works pretty well. I did not need to fix location services or gapps (though I did put the newest in there). Also did I not need to clean up any Chinese apps. And the Calender is Chinese free, and the Dialer free of Chinese city names. So I barely had to do anything. Also GAPPS TTS was in there, though I still cannot find the settings menu.
But alas, the only 'multilang' in the ROW was Vietnamese. I guess "Rest Of World" is pretty limited.
Also, for those of you that liked it, the Security App (Anti-Virus, and limit permissions per App, so sort of a firewall) is also missing. I may put it back in later, but I want to run vanilla for a while to test stability.
But it is still nice and clean, and all programs a month newer. And Chinese out of the browser/email-setup/calender/dialer. Oh, and for all of you that went to APKHOT because of the newer SIM taskbar icons: It also has the newer icons. For an ongoing list of findings in post #585
So for those of you that want to try: A750_ROW_S113_cybermaus_ICS_V3 based on P700_ROW_S113_120801.
Assuming you have the custom recovery. If not, flash the recovery from my 4-shared using the flash tool.
A750_ROW_S114_cybermaus_ICS_V3.1
Based on factory ROM P700_ROW_S114_120903, and located in my Dev_host. Similar to V3, but newer, and a few extra tweaks.
Summery of changes:
- Same as on V3, and additionally:
- Whatever Lenovo fixed in their S114 (there is a unconfirmed suggestion that it may be signal strength related)
- Different (better?) call-log and Caller-ID behavior, see post #3 below
- Prepared busybox (you need to run script /system/xbin/installbusybox as root if you want it)
- Added a tweak so USB-Debug notification is no longer shown
- Added a tweak so Wifi works on all 14 international channels (rather than only the 11 US ones, may be undone if you set a different locale)
- Kept the original S306 radio firmware (baseband). They had the same timestamp as the P700 one anyway.
Instructions:
This is a update.zip type ROM. If you are on any ICS ROM, you do not need to flash V3 first, you can directly flash V3.1"
- Put ROW_S114 zip on SD card
- Boot into recovery
- Apply zip file
- Reboot, and wait for it to complete.
- If you came from a domestic Chinese ROM, clean data for calender, notes, desktop and if possible contacts, using these utilities. Or if you do not mind, wipe all data from recovery.
=================
BTW: Due to new forum rules, resulting in a large number of people that cannot post into developer threads and that subsequently PM me, I open op a new Q&A thread.
I am not going to be policing, so you can post where you like, but I invite everyone to use this new thread for any Q&A, and this thread for ROM releases and deep development talk only.
Consequently, if you PM'ed me, look for your reply in this new thread
Thanks

HELP, I lost my IMEI ! / Caller ID
Please note the content below was originally in post#1. I cleanup Post#1 a little, to make it clearer to new users.
=================
Hi All
My second Lenovo A750 ROM release: A750_S148_120428_cybermaus_V1
Edit: For ICS rom check the 2nd post.
Fixed toward V0
- Different GAPPS, resulting in
- More stable Play Store with less unlisted apps
- WiFi based Location services (from for example Places) working (GPS did work in V0)
- NANP (US style) numbering formating removed from phone
- Replaced Unicom talking bootup animation with silent Lenove butterfly
- Added 'new phone Setup' program
Still to improve (if you know how, on a MT6573/MT6575, let me know!)
- Caller ID lookup in Contacts should ignore IDD prefixes
- SMS app trips over hyphens and brackets in stored numbers
- Arabic/Hebrew RTL fix not applied yet.
- Remove 'new phone Setup' program again?
This is a simple and clean ROM, not too much done, essentially just the factory S148 ROM (A750_S148_120428) rooted, cleansed from Chinese and with Google Play Store and other GAPPS.
So it is mostly clean. It does not even have the Skype/YouTube/Flash apps, as I believe such apps change too often to be in the system portion. I upload the ones I got from Etowalk separately, in folder Etotalk_apk, you can install yourself.
Specific changes:
- Rooted the phone
- Set to boot in US-english
- Added MoreLocale for extra languages
- Removed Chinese apps, incl Chinese keyboard
- Removed SmsReg.apk
- Left Lenovo Security (anti-malware) intact
- Added Google framework
- Added modded Play Store 3.x.16-mod from XDA
- Added MobileUncle toolbox V2.0.9
- Added CWMR Touch / 593zn.com recovery image
Most images are unmodified from stock S148, even boot.img is unmodified. Only system.img was really changed, you could flash only that.
You will also need the flash tool and USB driver. For example tool SP_Flash_tool_v3.1208.01 and driver USB_VCOM_Driver. The flashing is the
typical Mediatek MT6573/MT6575 based flashing sequence as shown by bgcngm, the undisputed champion of Mediatek ROMS.
Which reminds me: Thanks to bgcngm for his help, and to jazzor for his help
Instructions:
By default, the ROM will not overwrite USERDATA. If you want a clean slate, first extract empty.userdata.rar. Also do this if you get "weird" behaviour after flashing, like Play Store not starting, your old setting may be incompatible with the new ROM
By default, the ROM will not overwrite FAT (the internal SD card). If you like an empty internal SD card, extract empty.fat.rar before flashing.
By default, the ROM will clean out CACHE. If for some reason you feel CACHE should not be cleared, deselect the CACHE from flashing.
IMPORTANT: If you want to play it safe, it may be wise to backup your phone's IMEI file before you flash or reset to factory defaults. See here for help on backup or restoring IMEI
IMPORTANT: If you are trying this ROM on another model phone, which I STRONGLY advise AGAINST, then do NOT flash the first two (preloader and dsp_bl) as you will may not be able to flash it back afterward and thus brick your phone. Someone tried it against an ZP100 and bricked his phone.
Download A750_S148_120428_cybermaus_V1
I will also upload the driver, flash utility and official ROM's there.
Enjoy

------------------------------------
Caller ID bug
Caller ID on the on the A750, on the P700 ROW, and I suspect in general on the Lenovo phones.
The lenovo ROW (=Rest Of World) based ROM are much more international then the other Lenovo ROMs. I cannot be sure about the other china brands, but Lenovo in ROMs intended for the local China market, 'update' the phone to nicely recognise chinese cities. I am sure China locals will be pleased with this service. I do not know if/how this applies on phones which are already more international like the multilingual Zopo's and Thl's out there.
In doing so, Lenovo seems to break the normal caller ID function. Not only do you get to see Chinese city names for non-Chinese numbers, but also in some cases it does not resolve an incoming call to your phone book. This seem to be especially true if the incoming call is in local format (no +CC) and the phone book is in international format (with +CC)
The ROW based ROMs work much nicer. No Chinese city names for non Chinese numbers. Also, it finds correct country names. So far, I was called by unknown numbers from California, UK, London, Russia, Romania, Saudi, Yemen and Jordan, and it all correctly resolved them. For California and London even to greater detail then the country. It only shows this for unknown numbers, for known ones it shows the contact name.
Indeed Caller ID seems to work correctly for local vs international format. So if the incoming is formatted without +CC, but leading 0, and the phone book is +CC, it finds it.
And it seems to nicely format all phones according to the desired national formatting. So +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX for US, but +966 X XXX XXXX SA fixed and +966 XX XXX XXXX for SA mobile. And +31 XX XXXXXXX for NL fixed and +31 XXX XXXXXX for NL mobile.Very nice
HOWEVER: The caller-ID lookup now seems 'whitespace-sensitive'. I had a contact number stored as +966 XXX XXXXXX, and he did not find it. But when I changed it to +966 XX XXX XXXX it did find it. Similar for number that had "(XXX)" brackets in it, as was common in NL in the past.
This may or may not be a problem, because if you touch your phone book entry in the edit mode, it will automatically change +966 XXX XXXXXX to +966 XX XXX XXXX. Symilar if you sync through Google. But as I sync with outlook using Android-Sync, many are stored like +CC (XXX) XXXXXXX
So, Caller ID is 'different'. But better? For most people probably yes. But may depend on your situation.
EDIT: I found the whitespace was actually due to me not clearing data. Everything seemed find, but the caller ID was a resulting problem. You need to clear contacts, so it reindexes the phone numbers, and then Caller ID is perfect. Even ignores () brackets. You can clear contacts many ways, but I made a patch for it.
Links to other A750 ROMS and other useful information:
EDIT: I have not kept this list updated. Search this thread for other ROMS, especially Smileyvvv's APKHOT seems popular
Original A750 ROMs: (S14x=GB; S30x=ICS)
A750_S148_120428 - Chinese/English - No root - No play store
A750-S305-120514 - Chinese/English - No root - No play store
A750_S306_120530 Original full S306 (no OTA, flash package)
Please note that all *official* ROMs come with password bbs.lenovomobile.com. If the password is missing, someone did something to the ROM. Also, there are 'root' images availible that only flash boot.img. These work by overwriting system.img *on every restart*. Creative, and I used it myself for a while, but currently I feel the method described below is a better method.
Other modified ROMs (GB):
S750 S143 Etotalk Multilang
A750_S148_120428_RUS by Anton_vrn V1.3 (true Russian translation!)
BM's Hebrew fixed
BaderMQ's multilang+Arabic fix
(please note none of these are really multilang, just multi-locale, which means system apps will remain English, but third party apps can be set to other languages, similar to my ROM's, I simply do not make the claim. Anton is the only one who actually translated the ROM, but to only one new language)
Other modified ROMs (ICS)
My ROM in sepo of course
lenovo750-4.0.3_Anton_vrn_v3.01(true multilang?? Hints that it contains: ar-de-es-fa-fr-in-it-nl-pt-ru-th-tr-vi-zh, but based on S305)
Etotalk S306 multilang_by_Dean : It exists, but I do not know an internet location to download it from.
How to root a ROM yourself:
- Flash the CWMR Recovery partition (the recovery only, not the root&recovery one)
- Reboot into recovery (poweroff - Press/hold Power for 2 secs, then also Up/Down)
- Apply this root update
- Use RootExplorer to remove any Vending* or Phonesky* from /system/app
- Apply the correct GB or ICS GAPPS package, from bottom page here, or its mirror here.
- If a ICS rom, even though not from me, you may still want to apply my ICS V1.3 update, especially if you have location or market compatibility issues.
Caller ID
Hy I have a Lenovo A750 and all my contacts in the address book are saved in international format ex.: +44 78......, and when somebody calls me the number that shows up on the display is 0 78....., as local format.
Unfortunately the phone doesn't recognise it as being saved in my address book and it show's me "078 .... is calling" instead of "Ben is calling".
How could I fix this?
Please help me, or at least give me directions.
Thank you
Its one of the more important (of not most important) issues, and it has focus of myself and more experienced people. It's listed above as "Caller-ID to Contact mapping should ignore IDD prefixes." But alas, afaik, at this moment, no solution exists.
Keep an eye on this thread, and/or this one. Rest assured that as soon as we know how, it will be fixed.
Edit: Caller ID bug is less prominent in ICS ROM's
And in any case, using this, you can work around it.
COOL
You have done great job man thank you. I was using etotaks v 2.0 rom but it kind of sucked so i decided to try yours and its all good. I like the net traffic, battery saving and LeSecurity and they come only with the lenovos rom. I will look foreward for future releases. Great Job.
Reagards.
RTL
Hi,
Are you planning to update your rom?
i was searching for a Lenovo A750 rom that support Arabic - Hebrw RTL.
There is a methods out there but its only for deodex Roms,and your rom odex.
anyway to convert odex to deodex?
Thanks
There is already a Arabic & Hebrew RTL version for A750 out there. Not my me, but by someone more experienced, though A750 is not his focus.
I am playing with my ROM, and while it is not on the top of my list, once I get round to updating it I was thinking of copying his RTL fix to my ROM also. In the mean time, try the other one, and tell me how it works in relation to the issues I still have on the to-do list.
Thanks
I downloaded the rom from that topic , it failed to install . it give me an error msg when i try to flash it thru CWM.
I manage to convert the lenovo A750 Roms to odex using crcstudio_1.2.0.0
now i'll try to apply the fix manually.
Well, you can always try to use the recovery I am using. It seems to work well for Bruno's ROM's.
I have never even attempted to put CWM on these Mediatek based phones. Nor have I heard of anyone else (other than you). Are you able to flash anything with it? I was assuming there was a reason people were not using CWM on Mediatek.
I advise you to put Recovery ROM from here, flash it using this method. And then use that to apply the zip based ROM's.
I am working to update my ROM with Hebrew also (actually, working on other stuff, but will try to also put that in), but be aware, it will also be a 'flash-utility' ROM.
Edit: ROM V1 is coming tomorrow, but no RTL, sorry. I was able to fix the location service and Play Store is now not blocking so many apps.
I already did try CWMR ... But when i ever try to flash BM Rom it shows an error.
And by the way .. I already used CWM to flash other roms on my A750 and its working.
so what i did:
I extract BM Rom and merge it with other chinese rom S148 and build new rom.
It works.. i can read/write Arabic . and for browser/gmail i install the Brightidea's app from the market. it fix the Arabic problem.
New V1 upload in first post.
Spanish from etotalk?
There are any possibility to get the spanish traduction from the etotalk rom?
Thank you
I'm using new ROM since last night.
I made a complete flash (userdata, sd...).
Now there are less Chinese applications, is good.
Good work, Thank you.
Quick question
Hi cybermaus
sorry for the noobie question but I didn't own a smartphone since windows mobile. I expect a A750 and it might come unrooted. Do I have to root it before installing the rom or is this done automatically in the flushing process? Thank you.

Check if the Spanish selection is part of the 'MoreLocale2' app. If not already there, add it as a custom locale.
Edit: If you meant: can I take Etotalk ROM and transplant its Spanish into my ROM, then that is already done! Neither Etotalk nor myself actually translate anything, we both just added the free public app MoreLocale2, which has most translations in it. Using MoreLocale2, the phone becomes 'reasonably' translated, though there may remain some English parts.

This flash is using bootloader method, not recovery, and it will not need root. Upon flash, it will apply root automatically. Use the flash sequence as linked in the first post.
It is strange the size is only 157 mb. I will give it a try
Yes, V0 accidentally had two copies of the rom image inside the rar. It did not hurt, but it bloated the package a bit. The 157GB (164 981 710 bytes) is correct
Good to see you are paying attention though
Remove the Unicom bootup animation
I landed on this page when I was looking for help to remove the Unicom talking bootup animation/sound and remove all Chinese apps from my phone (A750) that I recently picked up.
But I have never done this and I am no developer but can you please help me with a list of procedure that I can follow to use this A750_S148_120428_cybermaus_V1?
If someone has skype or share their phone number I can call to seek help.

Team Voxive Presents: Vox Remover [DISCONTINUED]
[CROSS-POSTED from old Voxive GApps thread, some doesn't apply]
Long time no see, huh? Well, contrary to the Post title, I am back but it's different now! Why?
THESE GApps ARE NOW APART OF Open GApps!
I wanted to cover a few things about this package real quick though!
First, the source code has been moved and updated (the old actually was missing the newer releases!) onto GitLab. One note though is that the APKs themselves are managed using Git-Annex, so you will need that to "complete" your repo. Find the source code here: http://gitlab.com/TeamVoxive/vox_gapps/
Second, Open GApps includes a AROMA version too that will be easy for you guys to migrate over to!
Third, my other project, Vox Remover is on hiatus as it is semi-replaced by Open GApps as not only it includes more removals than the original PA/TK Gapps these were based on but it also includes the ability to remove ANY app (have to configure in config file).
Lastly, I want to mention my "other" project that I am still working on. Vox Variety is a 24-hour variety station playing a lot unique stuff!
You can find Open GApps at http://opengapps.github.io/opengapps/ with daily, auto-generated builds for 4.4x to 5.1x on arm(64) and x86(_64) with a ton of variants!
OLD OP BELOW!
Vox Remover, based on PA GApps Remover by @TKruzze, is a flashable script for rooted Android devices that allow you to remove some bloatware that may come with your ROM.
To use, just flash after your ROM of choice! It will walk you through making the file and it will then remove them. Finally, the Addon.d script will keep them removed across updates without a reflash!
REMOVABLE ITEMS
To see the list of items you can remove, visit this page on our GitHub Wiki.
DOWNLOAD AND FLASH

Added CM AudioFX under the existing DSP option.
v5
Version Merge
The Major change in v5 is the fact that Lollipop and KitKat versions are no longer separate. This changes a few things behind the scenes but only one thing up front: A new Version selector dialog that let's you select KitKat or Lollipop! MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT ONE OR IT WON'T REMOVE!!
New Apps
I have added a couple of new apps also!
Euphoria Wallpapers
CyanogenMod's Eleven Music Player
These apps are most likely lollipop only but if you find a KitKat ROM with them, you should be able to remove them!
Other Fixes
Fixed Sorting of CyanogenMod and Other ROM items to be Alphabetical.
Spaces to TABS
NOTE
This is early days for the Mixed Installer and I need all the testing I can get! Please report your issues!
v4-kitkat and v2-lollipop
With v2, you can now restore from the config file so you don't have to edit it every time you flash!
Simply choose RESTORE when you flash to jump straight to the installer.
Want to edit your choices? Tap DON'T RESTORE and you will be greeted with the classic installer!
v3.3.1-kitkat and v1.1.1-lollipop
FIXES BUG IN v3.3-kitkat and v1.1-lollipop, see changelog below!
20141122 releases: v3.1/v3.2-kitkat/v3.3-kitkat and v1-lollipop/v1.1-lollipop
LOLLIPOP VERSION STILL NEEDS TESTING! PLEASE HELP!
NEW FEATURES
All versions
Thanks to a request on XDA, I have added support to remove the Boot Animation. Just select the new option and it will remove the animation, defaulting you back to the one built into the code.
v3.2+ and both Lollipop versions
Also, you can now separately remove Exchange Services so you can still use Exchange accounts in Gmail!
v3.3 and v1.1-lollipop versions
Finally, you can remove AOSPA's Lightbulb/Torch App.
BUGS
v3.3 and v1.1-lollipop versions
Fixed Git messing up EOL which made development tricky, didn't impact end users.
All versions
Wouldn't flash in some recoveries like the MultiROM one because it didn't have an updater script file. I added a dummy file and now it works.
All versions
When I based this project off of the PA GApps Easy Config script I was working on, I accidentally left some items in the config script named "aosp_prop" instead of "gapps_prop". To make it easier, I renamed both to just "prop".
CLEAN UP
All versions
I did some misc. cleanup including:
Changing the author name to my new username: "bgiesing"
In config script, fixed leftover PA GApps config name and replaced with Vox Remover.
In the Install Script, I removed some extra headers and the part that looks for your text file as it is always in the same place now.
v3
AROMA Installer: The zip is now using AROMA! That means that you can use a simple click interface to config your choices.
One ZIP! I figured out how to run the current script from AROMA and show output which means you don't need two ZIPs! Flash one for everything!
Added a request: PhotoPhase Live Wallpaper
Combined: Development and SpareParts into one entry as if you are going to remove one, you are most likely going to remove the other.
Fixed: Addon.d Script! In the older releases, there were two problems with the script. The first was the ZIP not installing it on your device which means it can't work at all. The second is that even if you copied over the script manually, the items to restore were in the "restore" section and not "pre-restore" and this caused things like AOSPA's script to not restore completely!
v2
Fix SlimIRC and PAC-Man apps not removing
First Public release
v1
BETA Release, Initial Release
Reserved
good
this looking helpful!
No instructions on how to install/flash? I understand you based your work on TKRuzze's GApps Remover but it might be wise to add instruction in your original post as to how and when to flash your zip and/or would it conflict with TKRuzze's and the likes of those kind of questions.
So far, I'm liking this project.

There is instructions, it tells you how to make the text file and to flash, if you don't know how to flash, then you shouldn't be using custom ROMs!
As for possible conflicts, they both supplement each other, one removes GApps and the other removes stock apps! They are safe to use together!

If I didn't know how to flash, I couldn't use a custom ROM in the first place.
In any case, I must have missed the the "when to flash" bit in your OP and, on that front, this project looks even more promising.

I agree with you, the OP didn't mentioned where we have to put the file etc...
For beginners (like me) it's not as easy as it could be for experienced people.
Please give us some advice

To use, make a text file named ".vox-remove", put it in the same folder as the ZIP or the /sdcard root, and put a keyword from the list below. The file should have no extension. Remove anything in BOLD. After making the file, flash normally anytime after flashing the ROM (before or after GApps, kernel, etc.)

Okay guys, here is a little bit of a news update!
I am still working on this, I just need a suggestion on apps that you guys want removed!
Secondly, I am in contact with @osm0sis to make an AROMA zip that will create a file for the new AOSPA shell GApps! This will save people the trouble of figuring out how to correctly make the text file. Hopefully, I can also make one for the remover!
I just released an AROMA zip to make the text file for PA GApps remover, I am going to try to have one up for Vox remover eventually!
dotmaniac said:
Me, @hlxanthus, and @osm0sis have been working on an easy config tool for making the .gapps-remove (soon .gapps-config) file. @hlxanthus has already posted a few versions and now here is the next step.
Download pa_gapps_config-20140916b.zip
Compared to his versions, the interface is completely slimmed down and the ZIP is smaller. How? Well, I used my base which is categorized and has a better file structure. The ZIP is smaller thanks to a few things: One includes less words in script files. An example is resread instead of zipread. This allows you to not have to enter the full file path. Secondly, he added a Splash image and I ran it through a PNG compressor. Before it was 520 KB and is now 130 KB. Third, my base doesn't include extra themes and icons that make up most AROMA zips.
Thanks to @osm0sis and @hlxanthus for ideas, shell help, and AROMA help. Specifically @hlxanthus for the backup code and verification screens. Also @osm0sis for the grep -w flag hint and help for other projects I have done.

CM Home, Cell Broadcast, and CM account are essential for device use, aka if you remove them, your device won't work.
There is no such thing as the CM Video Editor... The video editor included in CM is the AOSP Movie Studio.
Also, Spare parts and Development are two separate apps. They both are advanced tools for app development.
- Exchange services
- AOSP keyboard (?)
- Camera
- Black hole, Sun beam, Bubble
(Do basic live wallpapers include Nexus and Spectrum?)

Exchange services are there.
The keyboard we don't allow to remove because if you don't install a keyboard, you will be unable to type!
Camera I'll have to think about.
The live wallpapers are there, they just may have different names. Black hole is actually called Galaxy4.
Basic live wallpapers (I think) include Nexus. Spectrum is a part of Visualization Wallpapers.
‘Email’ removes both Email and Exchange Services?

DarkMatter - Theme/Mods [WIP]
For Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 running Touchwiz 4.4.2 ROMS Only
IMPORTANT: I am not responsible if any thing goes wrong with your device while flashing this theme. You are flashing this at your very own risk.
Friends, frankly speaking I simply hate the way the Notification Panel looks with touchwiz (And I believe many of you will agree). It simply takes up too much of valuable space .
So I decided to do something about it. I have tried to give it the Stock Android look and the results can be seen in the screenshots below. So basically this is a simple Mod that will change the way Touchwiz Notification Panel looks. And then you can have the Dark look and some more space for your notifications.
This mod is part of my upcoming theme that I would be calling as "DarkMatter". As of now this theme is a personal interest thing. That said i will not be taking any request. But yes, you are more than welcomed to give me your suggestions and/or point out any bugs that you come across while using this mod.
Currently I am running Imperium 16.1 ROM. And this theme will work for you only if you are on 4.4.2 stock based applications. Any S5, Note4 apps will not take up this theme and will remain un-themed (I don't use any S5, Note3 or Note4 apps, so I am not sure).
You will surely notice some inconsistencies here and there with this mod. But with time I will try to eliminate all possible bugs. I will share those with you as early as possible.
Download links are available on 2nd Post.
Installation procedure is available on 3rd Post.
Changelog is available on 4th Post.
NOTE: This theme will not work with any other mods that you may have installed on your device. It may not work with your existing mods because I have made changes in the system file and if your mod also made changes to the system file then flashing this will override your existing mod. And if it works with your existing mods, please update the thread/me so that I can mention necessary information in the OP itself.
Thank you

Hi, good afternoon, I'm having a problem with an icon pack, always return to the default after exiting the settings, as well as the source applied by MiCustomFont.
I tried to replace the native source folder with the same rooted device I did in previous versions of MiUi and did not succeed.
The only source I could change was NotoColorEmoji.
Right now I'm downloading the system to flash MiFlash, but before I change the source folder with the source I want along with emojis, (because I had a problem after root not recognizing the sim card and I needed it reinstall by TWRPto global rom)
A third problem is a problem that even seen here in the forum could not find a concrete answer, I need to fix the TWRPin my cell phone, because the procedures taught are difficult and depend on the luck of the person to start TWRP.
Please,
Thanks!

I found a different solution for installing fonts, different from when I just copied the folder with the fonts I wanted all renamed by a default to the system / fonts folder, it used to be okay, today in MiUi 10 not.
I got an installation of Emoji Unicode via TWRP, I changed NotoColorEmoji to one of my liking and I added my standardized source pack properly renamed with the name of the fonts that MiUi uses and it worked, I'm satisfied, this way is the most efficient to change cell phone fonts..
Now I just need to think about a solution to the problem. Icons do not return to the default and can fix the TWRP in the memory of Redmi 6
