Hi Gang,
Some of you may remember me from something I had done to the HTC Desire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755339
May it rest in peace...
I got this Foxconn device, called Wellcom A99, nowadays and thought I give it a ramp up . As previously, I'm pretty much a minimalist guy to squeeze the max out of my toys when and wherever I can. Here you go
This is a scaled down stock ROM, in terms of apps and memory hogging services. It took quite a while to go through testing and I assume I could get rid of all the bloat, still not compromising functionality. A number of apps are updated to the latest current versions as well.
The ROM does not touch anything kernel, governors etc.. I've been playing a bit with MIUI and CM7 and was somewhat disappointed particularly about battery lifetime. This MacLite should run lite, and smooth, with best in class performance. I will still look further into improvements, but I'm not jumping onto the overclock bandwagon. It's based on the latest (I think) Gingerbread 2.3.4 available from Wellcom for the FIH phone which you can grab in it's full beauty from here: http://www.wellcommobile.com/android1/.
This thing is FAST and without compromise. Everything works! It went through numerous versions and rounds of feedback, thanks for that. The latest and final version MacLite-FB0 v1.3, based on the last Wellcom firmware, adds, updates and fixes a number of things that should make it even more useful.
Thank you all for your input and feedback!
Changelog (v1.3)
- Last version based on Wellcom ROM
- Application Updates:
File Browser 2.0100.01
Note Pad 2.0040.02
Google Search 1.3.3.247963
Zeam Launcher 3.1.10
- 200MB+ free memory (thought I mention that finally hehe)
- This is the final release of MacLite-FB0 v1.x
Changelog (v1.3s)
- Further reduced Smaller v1.3 without Gmail and Email (useful if you use 3rd party Email applications and don't want to have those running useless in the background)
Changelog (v1.2)
- Removed Google Maps and Streetview, the latest update v6 appears to be somewhat of a memory and battery hog/zombie that comes to life all the time again, unkillable . You now have the option to flash a separate Maps/Street package v5 or v6
- Fixed a number of app signatures that prevented automatic updates
- As requested, added more languages (new locales for DE, ES, FR, NL, IT, PT, RU)
- If you use TouchPal Keyboard you can download the additional language libraries for free from the Market, I did not include these as not everybody needs all of them
Changelog (v1.2s)
- Further reduced Smaller v1.2 without Gmail and Email (useful if you use 3rd party Email applications and don't want to have those running useless in the background)
Changelog (v1.1)
- Added Email application back
- Update of Google Maps, Zeam, Youtube, Google Mail
- Ringtones and notification sounds are stored after reboot
- Additional languages are added (now English, Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese)
- CDA partition access now possible during update
- Modification of a number of apps and settings stored in CDA
- New boot animation
- A number of changes under the hood
To get MacLite-FB0 installed, I would recommend to get CWM Recovery installed first and flash the zip through it. You guys know how this works. Please do a factory reset. There are also a number of modifications possible to the boot screen and animation. Please check out the hidden partition (press volume up and power button to get into these, works best with Linux that automounts)
The ROM is odexed for performance reasons. I don't buy the argument of having deodexed ROMs for modifications, it's detrimental for speed and memory usage in my opinion.
It features Zeam launcher for being the fastest and smallest around, please feel free to install any other of your choice . Wallpapers are not included, they are part of the official Launcher2 package which I killed, but any pics will work.
Please feed back on any old or new bugs found .
Enough said, check out for yourself
Download (links fixed, 03/09):
MacLite-FB0 v1.3
MacLite-FB0 v1.3s
I consider version 1.3 based on the Wellcom firmware final. We saw already a new Android 2.3.5 from Sharp popping up, mixed with Motorola code as it seems. Eventually this will be the foundation for a version 2 of MacLite.
Cheers!

That is the CDMA phones? No, it wont work. Don't even try. Different radio.
Was just searching, if this uses HSPA as it seems it should work. No need to install the Wellcom ROM first.
got confused one question

hi
got slightly confused im from India and i have tried the WelcomeA99 rom and have flashed many roms via CWM over the Indian stock rom This will also work the same way right
Yes, just use the normal flash. Did not want to confuse people. It will work . It's just that the official ROM has some additional data and partitions that are normally not visible.
thanks for the rom.. it is really lite... just installed ... I think I would flash one of the Doomkernel / UC kernel... battery drain seems to be reduced...
not getting service provider's name. instead getting some number. how to fix that?
Guys, do we really have to update to the wellcom rom first? I'm on miui 1.11.11. Also have a back up of andro-id rc2 on my sd. thanks

Hi
This is fast rebuild of newest rom
its rooted includes busybox and newest radio 7. 08.35.21
Removed boot sound
based on RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed
hxxp://rapidshare.com/files/396997841/signed_060910_112724.zip.html
THIS IS FOR ROOTED PHONES!!!
update in recovery mode flash zip from sdcard
Below is more experimental version with apps2sd included. Wireless tetherind does not work!!! I will look into it when i get more time.
hxxp://rapidshare.com/files/397719261/signed_061010_232316.zip.html
This rom boot longer than usual becouse i had to put some boot delay otherwise apps2sd does not work. apps2sd does not move dalvik-cache.
Rom does not include new radio. If you want new radio apply first version and later this one.
Feel free to test it.
IF you want to use this rom dont complain and dont ask for instructions everything is on this forum!
Sorry for my english. This is not my native language.

hi,
i would like to do the same thing with the last WWE 1.31.405.5 rom.
where can i find the radio patch?
and did you used the same sudo apk?
best regards
Thanks for this rom.
The only modifications are the ones pointed out in your description?
Also, could you point out how you cooked this rom? I'd like to get into it myself.
Thanks!
if you open the zip and look into the meta directory for the update script, there we can see how he does it
i was only interested in fixing gsm ringtone bug which is fixed in this release, rom was cooked with basix android kitchen found in chef central section.
i dont have time to do more
Thanks for the rom, it works great! Multi touch in Google Maps
Thanks m8. Great job Been wanting to try this rom since I saw it was released. Nice to see you rooted it so we can all benefit from it
Keep up the good work.
....
How much space is left on the internal memory after a fresh install of this ROM? Can anyone tell?
I don't recall, but somewhere around 90-100 MB I think.
I've installed a few apps:
-adobe reader
- aldiko
- allocine
- androcarbu
- anysoftkeyboard
- astro
- calculator
- chompsms
- copilot
- gtasks
- hungry
- lamppu
- listen
- mytracks
- mybackup pro
- remote+
- slidescreen pro
and updated everything. I have 78 MB left.
darwin, u have flash this rom? can u confirmed that root remains? btw, am i right to say that A2SD is not included in this rom. thanks a lot.
Yes, root remains, and no A2SD included.
Works perfectly on mine, with Root of course.
Radio signal seems to be a bit better.

Hi
I have T-Mobile Galaxy Tab. Is there any way to make it support Arabic language?
THANX....
Yes just flash the middle eastern rom. either the jpjm4 or the jpjm5.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I'm also looking for Arabic support. Mine is Galaxy Tab with stock rom
PDA : P1000ZHJK1
PHONE : P1000ZHJJ1
CSC : P1000ZZHJJ3
Is it ok if I flash an older ROM like P1000OJPJJ1 ? I heard that the newer rom has protected bootloader.
Thanks.
But then you can use the chainfire program to remove the bootloader files.
Use this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933028&highlight=jpjm4
It’s fast and has no bootloader issues. The jpjm5 doesn't seem to have anything better really. Like you I am cautious about upgrading. I bought my tab in November and I used to change my rom like every dew days to try different things but since I installed the jpjm4 from @galaxer, I didn't change it because it’s super fast and everything works perfectly in it. Also have great Arabic fonts. I also flashed this kernel with it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924654
It works great and extends my battery life to at least 2 days, but this is optional you don't need to do this.
Another option you have is to flash the beta CM7 gingerbread (Android 2.3), it supports Arabic, but it has tons of issues because its beta. I don't recommend it to be your main working rom, you can flash it to play with and check it out.
I hope this helps
That is a freakin' awesome post!
Thank you very much I will try to flash the JPJM4 today.

I am on the same ROM AND Kernel the only thing i dont like about this ROM (And it is not an issue, really!) but i just dont like the few white lines that flashes when you boot your TAB. And regarding the kernel it doesn't enhance your battery performance unless you under-clock your CPU and you dont need that kernel just to do that, you can always get SetCPU and underclock. This kernel is for over clocking to 1.4Ghz and it does eat-up your battery EVEN though using SetCPU i have set the maximum to 1.4Ghz and minimum to 600Mhz
Just to let you know
Thanks every body
I install the rom mention above but i got two problmes
1- no market app in it. "easy i will find one"
2- i cant receive file through Bluetooth ??!! " I want solution for it if any one can?"
Yesterday i found Orange Rom which support Arabic but i couldn't change the arabic font ?!?!
My bluetooth and market arw working fine anare you sure you flashed everything correctly?
Regarding these lines in the begenning, I saw them in many other kernels before, they used to bather me too, but I dont care anymore . It lasts for like half a second and goes away. Also, this kernel allows you to change the battery voltage which is not an option with any kernel.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
After you flash the middle eastern rom flash the overcome kernal (2.01) and the ugly lines will go away and you will have your language.
Thanks Rangercabtain I wiped to factory rest then I flash overcome kernal (2.01)
now every thing OK
THANX every body

Didn't work for me. Now on Cherry Magnum HD Update 3. Smooth and very responsive. Everything works!
Stay off from CSL Spice 2.3.4 FB0-318D-0-5012-A03
I own a spice Mi-410. The A03 update seems to have greatly improved battery life (just over 3 days with limited calls, occasional fruit ninja, and data always on in 2G mode)
I started suffering from wake up lag issues on the official spice Gingerbread update FB0-318D-0-5012-A03 all of a sudden. An additional problem is that bluetooth support is very limited to receiving files on the stock Spice GB rom.
Since I had a good experience with the stock Cherry Magnum GB ROM A01 version (except for the lower battery life), I tried the more recent version (update 3) which is also an A03 release. I feel this is the best stock GB ROM currently for the Spice Mi-410. Of course removing some unnecessary bloatware also helps. For example I really do not see the need for nero sync. Also restored back the splash image and bootup animation/sounds from the Spice ROM. Having no issues for the last few weeks.

IIRC I used SUT to flash that ROM
Sorry for the confusing statements. The A03 update is pretty good, but I had three issues with it.
1. Limited bluetooth support (try sending files from your phone with bluetooth). Have to use a third party app to deal with this problem.
2. GPS is quite poor. Takes a long time to get a lock.
3. Camera color balance does not work well.
4. Missing Android Gingerbread keyboard. In my opinion touchpal keyboard though better than the Froyo keyboard is not as good as the GB keyboard.
The A01 update which I tried caused issues with the wakeup lag but atleast had a working GPS and proper color balance.
For the reasons listed above I prefer the Cherry MagnumHD FB0-318D-0-5019-A03 ROM to the Spice FB0-318D-0-5012-A03 ROM.

Not sure what you mean by weak GPS signal and touch screen axis inversion. I get a GPS lock (outdoors) within 30s most of the time and within 60s all the time, with AGPS.

yeah, with A-GPS it sure is very fast... it is supposed to
I was talking about the vanilla offline GPS, slow & painful as hell 99% of the time
The vanilla offline GPS can take as much as 10-15minutes before it gets a GPS lock and this I mean outdoors. This is especially true if the GPS is offline for sometime as it has to download the ephemeris data again. For more information you can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals.
Since Ideos X6 variants all use the Quacomm Snapdragon 8255 SoC there should be no difference in the performance of the system compared to say the HTC Desire HD or Desire-S. Any issues (and I have not found any GPS issues with the Desire-S which I tested for two weeks and neither found any with the Spice Mi-410) is likely to be firmware related. I did have GPS issues with the Spice Mi-410 GB A03 firmware which was very stable otherwise.
So likely a firmware issue.
You can also try the GPS Test app from the android market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en

MI410 Cancer with CHerry A03
Hi,
I have upgraded to Cherry Magnum HD A01, and it was all fine.
Upgraded to A03 (update 3), Battery Life has increased, and Touch felt as good, all was great till last week. Thats when issues started.
Problems:
1) Very slow response on trying to unlock screen
2) Very slow performance
3) Lag in ringtone (As if there are scratches while running a CD)
4) Call answers after 5 seconds
5) ....... Overall runs as if its struggling to survive with Cancer.
I Tried:
1) Cleared Cache (Helped for an hour)
2) Factory Rest (Helped for a day)
3) Reinstalled Firmware Removed Google Account running with new Google Account (Helping so far, aint sure when it start stuggling with Cancer again)
4)Tried to flash with Spice CSL A03 (dint work)
Any help in this regards will help many ambitious impatient users of MI410 like me who rushed to flash by re branding.
Hi all
I am just getting a head of myself here but I am wondering if I can learn before I start flashing my LG O2X.
I am in Australia and I am wondering which firmware (full stock) is most preferred at the moment?
I read in the firmware sections and it seems as if the not all stock firmware are very stable (Some people are complaining that it sucks out of the juice badly).
so any suggestions (links will help heaps) is much appreciated.
any link to good tutorial to flash the firmware is also greatly appreciated.
Thanks
sorry for the newbie questions

Cheers guys!
I am still confused with all this term of base band and firmware used for LG o2x.
On my Samsung if i want to update my stock firmware i just need to go to samfirware download the latest one . Open ODIN as the flashing application, put the downloaded firmware package and press start.
Is this the same process in LG?
Do i need to root first? Where can I download the latest firmware package for LG?
Thanks again guys

Hello!
This depends...
If you only want the latest firmware provided by LG - just use the LG Update tool, follow its instructions and click start - wait a few minutes and voila.
Only working with an unbranded phone of course - in case of a branded phone you might have to wait for the OTA from your provider.
But you might have to wait at least another 6 Month for the next update from LG - last Update by LG(in Nov.) was to Android 2.3.4 and still has some bugs - ICS(Android 4.0) is in the making but...
If you want root, a custom rom(I would say CM7 is a lot better than stock rom - my opinion) with all the latest updates(i.e. Android 2.3.7 may be an ICS-build for X-mas ) and/or an OC/UV kernel it is a little more complicated.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
So... it sounds like the CM7 has won lots of hearts.
If I want to update mine (stock unbranded), which tutorial should I use?
since I am completely new to LG, any step by step (from the beginning) tutorial will help greatly.
I am after total stability and good battery - I am only using camera/video recording, playing videos, musics, skype/fring/viber and also some small games like angry birds etc.. good GPS lock is a bonus.
So any recommendation is greatly appreciated
Thank you

Frist things First - backup all you date before you start because the phone RAM/ROM will be wiped!
If your phone comes with Froyo (Android 2.2.2) you could go right ahead and start after the ***-line
...if your phone comes already with GB (Android 2.3.4 – look under setting on the about page!) you need to smartflash a CM7-compatible baseband (i.e. 0725 for Froyo or 0823 as I use it).
Guide to flash baseband – only needed if your phone some with GB(Android 2.3.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
A German guide with downloadlinks…
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_op...-lg_optimus_speed_p990_aktuelle_baseband.html
If you try the newest baseband on this page (0823 – 23.08.11) you must flash all 4 files in descending order of filesize – the others are single files which are easier to use.
***************************************************************************
The easiest way would be to root the phone with SuperOneClick.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/superoneclick-updated-to-2-2-now-features-zergrush-exploit/
…and then use Clockworkmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745) or Rom Manager to flash the latest KANG, since there aren’t any up to date Nightly’s because the CM7-build bot server is broken.
A Guide is in the Wiki pages for the LG P990…
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_ROM_Manager
You could use either one of these KANGs…
Rusty:
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/p990/
temasek:
http://www.mediafire.com/temasek
koboltzz:
http://www.4shared.com/folder/9Y9RYzQA/_online.html
Don’t forget to flash the latest gapps for GB 2.3.7 (right now AFAIK version from14th Dez.)– you can find them on temaseks-mediafire account.
Just place KANG-Files and Gapps on your SD card before you enter boot recovery.
At the end you need GetRIL or LG RIL versions from the market to update you RIL because the preinstalled baseband of you new phone is almost probably 0725 and CM7 comes always with 0218 – just download GET RIL and hit the install button…
Now you should be good to go.
If you are even more adventurers you could look into the ironkrnL for more performance/powersaving – see my sig. and/or look in the ironkrnL-Thread at xda and flash an ironkrnL after the gapps.

So “only” about everything one could do with a Smartphone…
Latest ironkrnL-builds with 00 or 32 ramhack should do it(stability and good battery) - but you might need to set the ring delay between 3000-4000 in the build.prop found in /system (you need a root-capable filemanager/editor i.e. ES Datei Explorer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop or Rom Tool from the market). I had a problem with the preset delay of 225.
Hope that helped...
Lucainno's I9000 MIUI 3.1.11 Port
ROM DETAILS
Android JB 4.1.2
Miui 3.1.11
Semaphore 2.6.5v kernel
4 way reboot
Seeder 1.4 Preinstalled
My GPS fix installed
Install Notes:
From cwm-
Facotry reset
Format /system
Install from sdcard
<Google Apps not required>
Boot
Profit
NOTES:
Ive only ran this ROM for about a day so Ill list it as "beta" for now. Themes worked for me but I had to create an Xiaomi account.
MIUI 3.1.11 is Android 4.1.2 (NOT 4.2.*) So keep this in mind for kernels and such!
I had somewhat of a higher than normal battery drain the first night. Frankly Im not sure if it was the ROM or one of my apps going nuts. I could use some feedback on how the battery drain is from others. This is my first JB port so be gentle (lol). I used CM10 as a base and used Lucainno's MIUI ROM to adapt (or Miui'fy) it. Dont forget to click on the links below in my thanks section and hit the "thanks" for each. Hit them up for a donation if you can.
Mobile data automatically turns off on each boot. You must renable it each time.
Easiest way for me to get the camera to work was to install the CM10 Gallery app. Thats why you have 2 "gallery" apps listed.
Does 911 work?
Answer - I dont know. Its untested. I have the correct T959 RIL and GPS files installed. I checked the framework.jar and it seemed to be in order.
Does GPS work?
Works for me....kinda I will admit the locks were a lot slower than usual. My GPS "fixes" from another thread do not match 2 of the CM10 files. CM10 and CM10.1 differ by 2 gps in /system/lib/hw from what I can tell. It may work though.
Now Im not a developer, but I will still try to bugfix whatever I can.
CURRENT DOWNLOAD LINK
Nanadroid first but a simple flash without factory reset should upgrade from previous version (no-wipe)
OLDER RELEASES:
DOWNLOAD v1 LINK
Big thanks to: (please tell me if I missed you)
Lucainno (for ROM to port)
FaultException (for CM10 base)
Stratosk (for kernel)
CyanogenMod team
Miui team
:cyclops:
Change log
1/15/2013 - V1.1
edit build.prop for english
framwork.jar edits
services.jar edits
new Bootsplash
add a gps.xml normally not found. Flashing one of my "fixes" will delete it.
(You should be able to just flash it without wipe for upgrade)
Thanks man, When I have time this week, I'll be sure to flash and let you know how it goes.
Thanks man - I was going to play with this for a bit. For me the GPS just isn't working as well as Id like it too. Just not sure if its me.
Two of the .so files are different from CM10 to CM10.1 so Ill try to switch between the two. (/system/lib/hw/gps.aries.so & gps.goldfish.so)
Its a nice project to work on for the next few weeks.
Got too eager, and flashed it
Some things:
-Boot animation is TERRIBLE, sorry just had to get that out, I'm prob gonna just end up flashing a Nexus bootanimaion, they look cool
-Default language is DUTCH, and there's a popup right before selecting the default language, so I have NO IDEA what i agreed/disagreed to
So far, so good.
I can't really test GPS, almost got into a car accident once because of the faulty GPS on this, since then... no more taking chances, bought a nice GPS, runs great.
I'll give you more bugs/compliments after tomorrow.
Thanks for this btw, needed my monthly MIUI dosage.
That is odd - the build.prop is set to US and when I loaded it up it was in English. Ill look into it though.
Edit: Found it -
ro.product.locale.language=en (was set to "zh")
LOL - ok - ok Ill look into changing the bootanimation
Version 1.1 posted - should be a no-wipe version for those who already installed it.
NICE....
viber
unfortunately,viber has stopped
no work
Anyone have a multi-dpi playstore for this?
Changed my dpi to 201, playstore stopped showing most apps, flashed this and did not work.
For those who have time and can beta test for me:
MIUI 3.1.25
You need to flash the gapps (4.1 version) because I removed it from the ROM.
Feedback / bugs appreciated
I tried some GPS tweaks in some .jar files - Im not sure if it did anything though.
Downloading, gonna try it this week and I'll be back with my comments, really thankful with your hard work.
Best regards.

First thought, thanks for the spanish language
I showed 85 downloads but no one tested it?
Ive been switching between Slim / Helly so Ill give this up.
AW: [ROM] [MIUI 4.1] MiuiRyder - Miui 3.1.11 (JB) v1.1
What about working together with kingsoft. He has also a miui rom out. Another idea to push a new JB 4.2 rom out , cherry picked from slim, hell and aokp

This ROM is my new daily driver on my work phone.
Its very fast and stable.
No real issues yet.
It rebooted once by itself when plugged into my computer at work but it hasn't happened again so the incident may be isolated.
Thanks for an awesome ROM.
I'm pretty likely to stick with this one for quite a while.

What one are you referring to? The 3.1.11 version in the OP or the .25 version I posted in the thread to test?
The op version, I just swapped over from another ROM and wasn't aware of the new version. but I'd be happy to give the test version a shot.
I'll run it for a few days and report back.

Sorry I realize its been way more than a few days.
I hot caught up on a work project that has been eating my life.
Anyways here is what I have to Freeport (hopefully its of some use to you this far out)
Pros:
1. Very fast and smooth, compared to what I was on prior (hellybean) this Rom is a huge jump up in speed.
2. Battery actually lasts all day for me. This is my work phone so that's not bad at all.
3. Bluetooth tethering works really well.
4. All around this is the best Rom I've been on in quite some time.
Cons:
1. Random reboots, though it never happens when I'm doing anything, only when the phone is sitting there on the home screen. So it really hasn't actually bothered me even though it would normally be a huge issue.
2. (I think this is actually a miui feature so it may not be worth worrying about) the data automatically turns off when you reboot. This wouldn't be an issue except for the random reboots mentioned above. Sometimes this happens in my pocket and I don't notice my data is off until I look at it again.
