What u get:
1. European Version as base
2. apps2sd:
3. Cache 2 sd:
4. etc/init.d folder functionality.i.e. u can run scripts (attached one batch of scripts)
5. Rooted, Busybox Installed
6. data/app functionality
7. Approx. of 120mb space on startup.
What to do:
1. Download the rom from this link http://www.4shared.com/zip/IyFaISq4/Htc_Pico__Master_rom_EDITTED_.html
and copy to root of ur sdcard.
2. Go to recovery by removing battery, pressing volume down button + power button, then selecting recovery from the menu which will popup
2. Now, navigate to flash from sdcard option and flash the rom.
3. after flashing, i recommend clearing cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions, and a factory reset.
4. You must have 2nd partition on ur sdcard.
what to do with scripts Download from here http://www.4shared.com/zip/1jyn2_tT/scripts.html

@jitin02
just trying to help people, i have received PM during the last few weeks reporting roms could'nt flash on some peoples devices because they where not deodexed (finally found out the problem) or where having difficulties not knowing how to flash or do several steps in order to keep phones up to date and take the maximum out of their device.I thought it was easier just to make things myself than asking other people to do so.
Also I am preety keen to help others as much as they need, solving doughts as much as my nogledge reaches, making people undertand some difficult concepts or procedures.
I am very sorry if you thought this was a competition, you got reasons to think so. Next time I will let people try to solve there problems by themselves.
By the way, many thanks making this phone rootable for the first time, credits all goes to you for finding a way at last, I am extremely grateful

And for rom. I have a deodxd version. but the problem is in non deodxd version the internal space came to be much but when I deodxd it the space went from 120--90. I will upload my deodxd version to.
Let's combine up both and try to help prompt this phone together and help people.
I have made a theme from Uot kitchen will upload it tomarw
And people there is on harm in posting problems here in thread reason being the about to use this rom. People should also know what's problems are and a request when you post problem and by chance you solve with it PLEASE UPDATE YOUR POST AND MARK IT SOLVED ALONG WITH SOLUTION. And this applies to jaggyjaggs rom too
No offense jaggy.
And grill will try to update op. With my theme. And another which I will try and deodxd version or this rom + another theme TRANSPARENT
JAGGY. I would like to know what problems people are facing n this version of. Rom and you are always welcome to help

@Jitin & Jaggy
both of you are doing very good helping people and making custom roms for android noobs like me so never let yourself down...I know how it feels as i myself was a modder for nokia s60v5 series....So whatever happens dont let anything come in your way...just do what you feel is right...
if you want help testing roms and your scripts i m ready to help....I can be your BETA tester...
things are being solved gradually,
now no space limitations, people have no problem now to flash deodexed version. yes deodexed roms have to create extra "code" in dalvic cache but its easier to add tweaks and modify (using baksmali), I am working on it to add tweaks and hopefully make it faster, would love if people experiment with it and could implement them in future roms.
I have tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317
but didn't work as expected, here is my reply in that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22042958&postcount=105
The only thing people are reporting now is the lack of languajes, just european. I haven't got the knowledge yet to extract Roms from RUU and would be great to get them all to .zip Roms.
we could create a thread up to date with the progresses made and the future proyects and who is working on what, what do you think?
You guys ever noticed how skins dont seem to be enabled in the explorer? under personalize theres no skin option... any way to enable them? theming would be so much easier with them... and Jithin, what major diff/advantage do u find betwen the india and eu versions? :/

Reg. Skins: it seems like HTC tried to make a foool of us by putting skins options as it does nothing.
Reg. differ in Indian and EU version:
In indian, some extra apps + another one which noticed was the space. the space in indian came to be more as soon as i deleted 3-4 apps in indian which were not present in eu version.
+ the difference of bands + there is Hindi language keyboard in Indian version.

This rom is for the Huawei Mercury (glory) m886. It won't work for the u8500.
Sent from Revokster for Mercury
This sounds pretty good, at least untill there is a working ICS.
One question, what was removed? Because I don't know where I'd be without the Asphalt5 and Let's Golf demos... lol
Help please, My phone is completely bricked!!! There has to be some way to fix!
My Huawei Mercuric is completely bricked depending on which way you turn on, get's the pure blue screen, but if you hold vol +/- as well as power than you get the pure pink screen. Please, someone help, i can't find anything on any website with original stock Rom.
And then when i try to put some things onto the sd card to transfer over to the phone it keeps saying i don't have enough room and is coming up as 239 mg and then say's maximum capacity 239. I don't know what to do please help, need my phone and can't afford to buy another.
all is well but wifi not working after this update
Hello Fire owners!
I open this thread to keep all things of Fire together, only one thread, everything here.
So here we go:
THIS THREAD IS FOR MOTOROLA XT311/XT316/XT317, XT530/XT531, XT532 AND XT611 (aka SMARTFLIP) ONLY. IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR THREAD, PLEASE PM ME AND PASS ME YOUR POST. LET'S KEEP XDA ORGANIZED!
CWM FOR FIRE XT XT530/XT532, SPICE XT XT531, FIRE XT311, SPICE KEY XT316 OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED
This thread was focused in the 2nd-Init for XT31X and XT530, 531 and 532. For almost six months, we worked patientlly to get the CWM working on our devices. The wait for CWM is OFFICIALLY OVER. In a couple days ago, our friend aweosomeabhijeet found a way to run CWM on Gingerbread. The tutorial (made by himself) will be posted NOW:
Hey Guys
All your wait is over.
Here I'll tell you how to get CWM for Moto Fire XT.
Disclaimer : I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone. I have tried it and finished successfully.
Try only if you know little bit about android.
This is beta version. However, a dev is working on not using a PC to reboot back into system, and is trying to make the installation simplified.
Lot of thanks to andrewidya
Required things
1. Rooted XT
2. Pc
Download these things on your phone:
1. Terminal emulator
2. Busybox(Open it and install)
3. Root browser
4. Pimp my Rom
5. ES file explorer
You can find all of them in the Play Store.
If you have done with it download the attachment.
Now main work.
It is not easy though but I think everyone can do it.
Steps:
1. Extract the attachment and copy it to your sdcard
2. Mount /system as RW.
3. Open Root Browser and copy bootmenu folder from sdcard/XT530 and paste it in /system.
4. Open Pimp My Rom and Add universal init.d support.
5.Create 97bootmenu manually.(For this using ES file explorer is recommended)
Steps:
a.Open /system/etc/init.d
b. Create a file, name it 97bootmenu.
c. Open the file as text
Type:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop
exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu
d.save the file
6. Change permissions of 97bootmenu to rwx r-- r--
7. Reboot your phone.
Now your phone will start at bootmenu.
Select Recovery>Custom Recovery
PS: If you want to get back the phone to boot normally. Just connect it to PC, open CMD and type
cd path-to-adb.exe
adb shell
rm -R /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
exit
adb reboot
I succeeded here's the video:
http://youtu.be/OyHwMqkBArk
Sorry for poor camera quality.
Thanks to all the members.
Special Thanks to:
Gentrylamp for creating bootmenu.
7amdoun for his great knowledge and modding bootmenu for XT530.
andrewidya for correcting me at every point.
Mazen.kh for everything he did.
Mr.Indigo for giving us hopes.

ROOTING & UNROOTING
You will follow this tutorial if you have 2.3.5 version of Android:
Downloads:
Here are the apps/files needed for Rooting -
1. SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0
2. SUT LR 1.8.2 (Doesn't seem to be working on 64-bit systems)
3. FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml [ATTACHED]
Before Rooting:
Prepare your phone by doing the following:
- Go to Settings > Applications > CHECK "Unknown Sources"
- Go to Settings > Applications > Developer > CHECK "USB Debugging" and "Stay Awake"
- Connect your phone via USB, when prompted DO NOT select USB Mass Storage.
- Extract FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml from the attached zip file in to a folder
- Now, install SUT LR, run the app
- Select the FXX_PR3_NV.xml [ensure NvDefinition.xml is also in the same folder as FXX_PR3_NV.xml]
- Your phone will restart.
It does NOT erase anything on the phone, since it only patches the ROM.
Rooting:
After the phone restarts, open SuperOneClick and select root. It will take less than a minute to finish.

about CG2.smg
Hey man I'm interested in the thread and i can help you extracting the CG2.smg
Here you are my tut. [for windows] it worked for me
1- unrar the file in the attachments
2- make sure that your file is named to 'CG2.smg' without quotes for sure, and in the same folder..
3- just run the .bat and wait for cmd to finish the job then you will find a folder called 'CG2-extracted' in the same place you extracted my .rar file
Note: you will find in the folder called 'CG2-extracted' some mbn files, systemsec.mbn is the /system folder in the xt311/xt316
extract it easily using unyaffs like a system.img file, if you need help in this PM me. i can help you extracting systemsec.mbn only, i dunno about other files also to repack systemsec.mbn you'll need mkyaffs and i think it's usable on ubuntu only and i can't help you with it
sorry for long reply but press thanks if i helped.

Anytime Sir ! I just want to help in anyway getting this device better, By the way here's a list of useless applications so far !
- 7x27_FQC.apk
- Arabware.apk < 7 megabytes and useless
- Wifipowersavingmode.apk < I think it drains the battery faster -.-
- i also removed all motoswitch APKs, And installed go launcher instead in the system. And removed pre-installed live wallpapers
Also if you have errors like "preparing sd card - checking for errors" in the status bar you can delete system/bin/fsck_msdos since i deleted i get no errors for my partitioned sd card
Q/Request: Do you know how can i customize Notify led ? Like changing color and speed ? also it doesn't work with whatsapp!
Thanks anyway ! Ps. led works by Notifyled.apk.. of course you know xD
And Yeah, i found some srs files also, time ago, i thought it would be awesome to have a panel for it ! but maybe it's the normal speakers at the back and it's drivers..

Yeah, Motorola lock the bootloader, locks the customization and much more. We need a CWM. FASTER!
Edit: before 2.3 versions, Motorola odexed the roms. All of the files were odexed. But Motorola now deodexed everything. So it will be easier.
And i think we can port the CWM from XT300. So, let's try!

I didn't know that there was cwm for xt300, but i think, if there is cwm for xt530/xt531/xt532 it'd be easier to port, since xt53X is to close to our xt311/xt316 and it also have 2.3.5 while xt300 2.1 only
Edit: i think xt311/xt316 users will never have custom recoveries/roms unless the bootloader is unlocked, and it'll be so hard to unlock such bootloader since the phone is not popular

Some guys tried to do an 2ndInit to maybe try to get CWM work. But didn't worked. A file from the battery (when you turn off the phone and conntect the charger, the big battery icon) was missing. But works without this file.
AND I FOUND WHERE WE CAN ACTIVATE SRS! Is in cda.prop, it's configured to false.
So what happens if i changed the value to true ?
i don't think cda props apply actually i tried to change the value of lock screen support rotation to true and nothing changed.
And Yup i read something about that battery icon too but i didn't understand fully how does that relate to unlocking bootloader
i think the bootloader must get hacked easily since as i see it's a common bootloader in many fones for ex. xt530 xt531 xt532 xt300 xt311 xt316 xt317 or am i wrong ?
If i can test the ROM in my computer (i don't know how to do it), we see if works. And Bootloader it's not the same for every phone series. XT300 executes 2.1 WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. And XT316 with 2.3.5 WITH THE LOCKED Bootloader.
The SRS file is in the attachments. Just take a look on the 'st line:
BLOCK... I understand that is blocked.
And the battery icon maybe is on a apk or anywhere. We might look better.
EDIT:
I googled around and i found a thread that talks about CG2.smg. They tried to do the same what i doing, and didn't finish very well. The phone was bricked, but they use some files, replace and the ROM was going on very well.

i actually didn't understand what you said in the "EDIT" but i read that even with a locked bootloader we can have a custom rom, but not a custom kernel right ?
so you can recompress the edited cg2.smg files and re sbf it again after customizing it or am i saying meaningless words ?

OK. I will explain the edit first.
They edit the systemsec.mbn, repack the mbn and repack everything. but they've got an error. Then, the phone was bricked and RSD doesn't saw the phone.
A custom kernel will be pretty great, but we have to unlock the bootloader 1st.

Maybe... Here is the error they got:
I got this after the flash attempt.

I've got from ModMyMobile (M3). They mod and bang! Bricked the device!
But they recovered.

The recover is change the FLEX VERSION to please flash please (something like that)

This is cda.prop right?
it has some tweaks like build.prop, if you tried to change the mobile model that appears to the market from build.prop it won't work, but if you change it from cda.prop it will work also it have some other tweaks that i actually don't know what's it's use
And Don't Forget Thanks Button ^^
XT316 bricked
Hello guys, sorry if this is not the best place to post a problem but, this is the only one active discussion about XT316 that i have found, i have this phone with Brazil Claro stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread Android installed, then i have installed the ChainFire3D hoping to have better experience with some games...
But i got a bricked phone... when powering on, the phone shows only the Motorola logo, then a black screen with no response, and continous reboot
I started the phone in recovery mode and tryed to perform a Factory Recover, but no sucess, same with Wipe Cache Partition option, so, what is left to do now is my question...
[Guide] Multi Boot Note 3 (Updated 24/07/2015)
*** Hi Guys i no longer have a note 3 so i cant do any testing but our team member is here to give support for you all and even im here to give support except testing. please contact @[email protected] and @djnim for support.***
I am using this on SM-N9005 Snapdragon Variant of the Note 3; I believe this will work with other Note 3 Variants as well. Few of them are already tested and you can find them below. Others who have different variants which are not tested can try this and update us, and we will be here to help you out if you are ready to try this out.
@chenxiaolong is the one who made this happen to our beloved Note 3
Main advantage of this is you can try any new rom with out loosing or having any kind of trouble with your existing rom. This mod will not change anything in your primary rom, so any time you can go back to your normal state.
Disclaimer
1.I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,etc.
2.Before going further! YOU are choosing to make these modifications.
supported Devices: ( Tested and confirmed working)
SM-N9005 (International Qualcomm): hlte (Tested by me )
SM-N900T (T-Mobile US): hltetmo (Tested by @MistaEast ) confirmation post
SM-N900R4 (US Cellular): hlteusc (Tested by @harshal10398 ) confirmation post
SM-N900 (International Exynos): ha3g (Tested by @mohnishkat ) confirmation post

SM-N900K(Korean): (Tested by @Premananda_laishram) confirmation post
Requirements
* Read the full guide before Starting.
* Backup your phone if you are doing this first time. (Full Nandroid backup recommended for the new comers and it’s also recommended to others who don’t know what they are doing exactly even if they have multi booted several times)
* Rooted Note 3 with custom recovery (preferred TWRP or philz).
* free space in your internal SD (for example a Cm based roms take up to 2.5GB to 3.5GB and a TW roms take up to 5GB or more.)
* If you face any trouble please read the FAQ before doing something or asking for help. And if you want help please provide as much as details(device, roms, etc.) you can.
*
Instruction:
1.Download your desired Rom which you want to use for multi booting and the mods, addons, gapps, Kernel etc for the same. Keep the files in your internal memory.
2. Download the most recent snapshot release of Dual Boot Patcher and install it on your Note 3.
3. Open Dual Boot Patcher and grant SU permission. Then go to ROMS and you will see your Primary rom, press the 3dotmenu key and click "set kernel". If it fail to set kernal please read the FAQ.
4. Then In Dual Boot Patcher go to Patch Zip File and Choose hlte for snapdragon variant and ha3g for Exynos veriant (Samsung Galaxy Note 3) from the drop down menu.
5. In the second drop down menu select "Data Slot".
6. Below that you have to enter the ID of the secondary rom.(Example 1, 2, 3, etc. - it will take it as /data/multiboot/data-slot-1)
7.Now tap on the below button to choose the ROM's, Gapps, Kernel and mods to patch them and make them perfect for Multi booting.
8. Always remember to keep same slot ID for the Gapps, kernels and mods same as the rom. (Example: if you want to flash the gapps/kernel to the data-slot-1 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 1 or if you want to flash the gapps/kernel to the data-slot-2 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 2.)
9. When selecting the files except cm rom zip there will be a “preset” drop down menu, from that you have to select according to the file you are going to patch. (Examp: for roms, kernels, mods, addons – custom; for gapps – Google_Apps; for Su zip – other/SuperSu; For xposed-Other/Xposed)
10. Now press the tap to begin patching button to patch the file. And you will get a new patched zip file in the same location.
11. Now Boot into custom recovery and flash the new patched file and reboot.
12. And your device will boot into New Rom.
13.Install the Dual Boot Patcher app and set the kernel for your second ROM as well.
14. To switch between roms
•Open Dual Boot Patcher app/roms and click on primary or secondary rom as you like and reboot.
•Or Use Swap Roms to switch between Roms.
* Important things to keep in mind: while installing a rom or mod with Aroma installer don't reboot directly from the aroma.
You have to always uncheck the last option to reboot in aroma and click finish. So it can finish the final steps for multi booting.
And if you miss that it will only reboot to recovery. To boot back you have to flash your primary rom kernel or re-flash the patched rom.
Never update a secondary rom through OTA Update.
*. For other devices:
1. You have to download and install X-plore File Manager (which I am using) from play store.
2. Open X-plore File Manager from app drawer and navigate to the patched zip file and open it.
3. Now you will see a folder named multiboot inside that you will find info.prop, now open info.prop with the text editor which comes with the x-plore file manager.
• And then find and change mbtool.installer.ignore-codename=false to mbtool.installer.ignore-codename=true
Revert
To revert back or if you face any problem just flash my Multi Boot cleaner.zip which will wipe all the installation files from \system and restore the primary rom kernel.
As a backup keep a copy of your kernel flashable zip file.
FAQ
1. I can't set the primary rom kernel in xyz rom. And I can’t switch to other rom in primary rom.
Ans. Just download the set kernel fix as per your model and flash it in the recovery.
The above fix only work for primary rom. If you have trouble with any other roms just add ro.patcher.device=hlte(for other models add your model instead of hlte) to the bottom of build.prop of that rom and you are good to go.
If you don’t know how to do that just pm me and I will make a flash able zip to add it to your secondary rom.
if the above didnt work Read this post please
2. App sharing?
Ans. Until now no luck. (Still under testing)
3. This rom can’t be patched.
Ans. some roms are not supported its known, if the Dev have time may be he will consider including them.

1. First of all have you grant super user permission for Dual Boot Patcher. If not just reboot and try again.
2. Do you have enough space in your sdcard (internal) for the backup of the kernel.
3. Just check if there is sdcard/multiboot/primary/boot.img is their.
4. Try the 8.0.0.r1119.g9c51715 version of dual boot patcher if the above didn’t help.

Here we go! I have complete dual Boot on my Note 3! It's awesome! My first Rom is Aryamod 5.3 and my Second Rom is temasek unoffical cm rom! Thanks to the Developers for your great Roms! And now Thanks to you 54NJ41! Your tutorial is great! I wait over 1 year for dual Boot on my Note 3 and now I have it!
does anyone knows how i could get more system partition space?
I tried to use titanium backup to move some apps but it says my system is 2.38gb full
Rogers Note 3
Anyone can tell me if I can install it for the Canadian Rogers Galaxy Note 3 ?
Thank you

I have tried the rom but same result as yours. But don’t worry I have an alternative way to set the kernel for your primary rom.
First make folders in your SDCard, “MultiBoot” in it “Primary” it should be like: Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary
Then extract the boot.img from your rom zip and copy it to Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary
So the result will be Sdcard/MultiBoot/Primary/boot.img
It’s done.

To make space in your system partition.
1. Delete what ever apps you are not using from system/app and syatem/priv-app (Don’t delete if you don’t know what it is or what your are doing.)
Example: shealth, etc.
2. Move some google apps from /system/app to /data/app to make them user app using root explorer.
Example: maps, gmail, chrome, etc.

To dual boot two TW roms is very hard. Because there is not enough space to fit both system file in your system partition. Other wise you have to deboalt the primary rom and you have to deboalt secondary rom zip before flashing. And by doing so you will lose most of the features of your TW roms.
And if you want to use CM as primary and TW rom as secondary its possible but not recommended. Because you will have trouble with flashing mods etc for your TW rom.
The better option at the moment is to keep the TW rom as Primary and others a secondary.
hi guys, sorry if i may have posted in the wrong section...
Ive got myself a most unusual phone, its a lenovo A588t flip phone running android 4.4 with kernel 3.4.67 and MTK6582 quad core 1.3GHz chipset, its a phone that seems to have no support whatsoever, not even a stock rom on the internet or lenovo's website.
now, im trying to port lollipop to it as the current rom has crap forged in the rom like Clean master and DU speed booster etc, i delete the system apps using Titanium backup and they all return after rebooting
ive never done a rom port before so i tried a few tutorials on google on the subject and they all seem way too complex to follow, dont make sense or is telling me to copy a file that doesnt exist & i get something wrong, ive tried pre-made roms from mtkroms.com and not one of them actually installed, never mind booted up, giving an error: (status 7), the phone has a seemingly old version of clockworkmod recovery installed similar to the one used on a Google Nexus One
i have cygwin and android kitchen setup already...
im in need of expert help, what Lollipop ROM do i use as the base rom, what files do i edit/replace with the stock rom, what is the easiest method of doing such thing?
any help greatly appreciated

now, im trying to port lollipop to it as the current rom has crap forged in the rom like Clean master and DU speed booster etc, i delete the system apps using Titanium backup and they all return after rebooting
ive never done a rom port before so i tried a few tutorials on google on the subject and they all seem way too complex to follow, dont make sense or is telling me to copy a file that doesnt exist & i get something wrong, ive tried pre-made roms from mtkroms.com and not one of them actually installed, never mind booted up, giving an error: (status 7), the phone has a seemingly old version of clockworkmod recovery installed similar to the one used on a Google Nexus One
i have cygwin and android kitchen setup already...
im in need of expert help, what Lollipop ROM do i use as the base rom, what files do i edit/replace with the stock rom, what is the easiest method of doing such thing?
any help greatly appreciated

You will need your devices stock firmware(or any custom rom build for your device)to use as Base.
porting is very easy for mtk6582 devices with kernel 3.4.67
Visit sites like mtkroms or any other for portable ROMs and guides
Search rom for your device first... If u find it then it is easy to port..
Other wise u hve to replace some stock rom files in custom rom of mtk6582...

that sounds easy enough, but 1. i dont know what files i need to replace and second problem, there is NO rom on google for this phone, i have a rom for it from another head on XDA but all the files are in .BIN and .img formats, i could just use the phone to copy its system files to the custom rom...
this site has instructions but i dont get the "working folder setup"

Ok.. Read steps carefully...
Step 1... For getting these files which is to replace... Root your phone.. Install root explorer .. Goto system folder inside the root...
Copy all folders app,bin,etc,vendor and other all in system folder to external sd card... Now you have these files which have to be replace in custom rom...
Remember one thing must .. Check your kernel version and porting rom kernel version if they r different dont port otherwise your device will be bricked...

Step 2.. Download mt6582 rom based on your android version mean if u have 4.4 than rom must be based on 4.4... If 4.2 than must be on 4.2.....
Extract the zip...
Replace files which is necessary to be replace....
For file replacement.. Search in Google... Porting guide mtk...
And then repack the folder must contain System and meta-inf folder + boot.img.... Into zip file...

Hi, thanks for the post, ive followed your steps combined with about 4 different guides and eventually, ive got it to boot lollipop once, but nothing on it worked at all, then stopped booting, massive effort wasted, not worth wasting anymore time on one of the lost MT devices
thanks very much for the help though guys, not all had gone to waste

1)You can extract the system.IMG and get your replaceable files from that
2)when porting from sites like mtkroms its recommended to replace files mentioned/listed beneath the ROM download tab
3)your main goal is to first boot the phone
4)most ROM ported will have bugs,so they won't work as they should be ,so you must start replacing some other files (you get learn what files to replace by google'ing mtk bug fixing guides)
5)its also recommended to flash gapps right after you flash the ROM or you may experience problems like stock launcher force closing.
6)so if you've got it boot,just find exactly what's not working and then look to fix them.
And yep I know bug fixing is kind of a pain.good luck
Glad someone was interested but sadly nothing..
