Hello,
I relate my experience with rooting, cwm(ing), cyanogenmod(ing) 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy plus. Done on July 2013.
Why ? : Stock firmware 2.3.5 Gingerbread, No update nor upgrade were provided by Samsung/operator. I got free this smartphone on 2011, with a operator plan for 2 years. I didn't dare to tweak on it.
How ?: Mad enough, I start to read seriously every thread and feedback on upgrading android smartphone, wherever I could.
Well, the tasks are horrible ! bricking, stalled etc ...
Hopefully I found XDA-develpers.com.
Follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001 :good:
With Angst, I installed CWM, Cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2.2 Aries), gapps), with SUCCES (my very first) , such as
Band version: I9001XXG1
3.4.52-cyanogenmod-gbf83448 [email protected] #2
July 7 10:32.36 CEST 2013
ARMv7 Processor CPU rev2
Memory 352 MB (512MB stock)
Cyanogenmod 10.1-20130707-release4-ariesve
Build cm-ariesve-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E
eng.christopher 20130707.1110 02 test-keys
A very good job from the dev.
Next, I installed framework and patch with dual Master key.
But the bluebox app still reporting danger. As far as I understand, framework is working in ram ... The protection is functionning like webroot antivirus and Rekey.
The biggest problem: getting root on the device ...
Since there is no way to contact @dimspace, I decided to open a new thread for the Huawei Ascend Y550
Link to the old one: http://goo.gl/v0FYo3
The goal of opening a new thread is to have an updated and organized index that includes all ROMs, Recoveries and Patches done so far and in the future

how did i compiled cm-12.1 and cm-13.0 for y550 and y635 if there is no device tree?
they are on my github.
i will provide all needed links.
Hi!
First of all I wanna say sorry for the form of this publication post, I write from phone and I haven't got a lot of time.
I made a new ROM based on stockrom.
I named it battery edition because you can receive calls with it for more than 100 hours (if you follow my instructions bellow)
New modifications:
I changed system font (I think many times better than stock), fixed sdcard write restrictions, removed all the bloat apps and edited whitelist_appops+ added a modded kernel adiutor and app permission manager.
Instructions:
go to kernel adiutor, set GPU and cpu gov to powersave,set min CPU to 533, than go to battery options and disable everything except c3. In appops deny everything for googleplay services and for Google play store except notifications, deny wake up and keep awake for all the third party apps (use your brain for it, soma apps need this permission to notify you about things)than enable ultra power saving mode. That's it.
It's just a suggestion, not for everyday use, only for the case if you want to keep your phone able to receive calls for a long time or you have only a few percent in your battery.
THIS ROM HAVE THE LOWEST BATTERY DRAINING WITHOUT THIS SETUP TOO, YOU CAN TRY ANY OF THESE MODIFICATIONS FOR EVERYDAY USE TOO.
Here's the ROM: https://mega.nz/#!f4QxkI5C!_72Cuw4GxZrV84azz1SBxD8yUnJJynIeuO7q3yMaqaA
I hope you will like it.

You modified the sources and didn't updated them in your github
Look at vendors for example... Camera libs are missing and maybe others too!

Very good work Saint_13 and thank you. For all intents and purposes, we now have a thread index and it is this one. (Dimspace's inability to relinquish ownership of this thread starts getting annoying.)
I disagree with placing all 4.4.-based ROMs which are not made by Huawei itself in a common section, thus bagging together (1) modified stock ROMs based on Huawei and (2) modified custom ROMs based on CM-11, Carbon, PAC, etc. It seems more reasonable to keep them apart. The difference in installation size, look & feel, and performance is huge.

Did you really succeed in lowering min CPU to 533 MHz? I tried and tried several tools (I recall also Kernel Adiutor, though not the modded version), and each time I set it to either 400 or 533, the system IMMEDIATELY reset it back to 800.

Are posts in the new thread automatically propagated to the old one? In other words, can one still read the last pages of the old thread and be sure he misses nothing?

You were right, minimal CPU frequence it is down to 533 MHz (from 800 MHz). I don't believe it....

On Android Stability
I'm looking for a VERY STABLE firmware for my Y550.
I thought that latest CM11 would be stable but I find it VERY LOUSY (come on... had to fix SD write permissions manually on a 2016 firmware) and I am having strange reboots...
I've seen there are CM12 and CM13. firmwares... CM13 seems very unstable... what about CM12 firmwares? Are these 64 bit versions of Android? (I know CM11 is 32 bit)
I won't care staying at CM11 as long as it is stable, but I looks like the CM11 builders don't care much about stability... this CM11 firmware I am using was clearly modified from a G650 CM11 release.

Unfortunately the most stable rom is stock Rom. You can set sd card as the main storage, good battery and good performance.
I'm waiting for CM13 future builds.
