New Dragon release coming soon....
Thanks to qalter from Russia

Very stable and a great alternative to those who want a pre rooted GB Rom with many useful Apps.
Just one thing i forgot to mention... live wallpapers are not supported so to maximize battery.

looks good .....
does this rom has updated graphic drivers ....
can you post some benchmarks like nenamark2 and quadrant ....

No updated driver as far as i can see, feel free to benchmark yr own X6 though.
Somehow this Rom fixed my crazy screen axis reversal issue i was having on this X6 so im happy.
Im still to try tonight on my other X6 the Apanda101 stock rom and Huawei's U9000 V2.610 Rom, which was the last official Rom they made for our unit.
cheers

Is it possible to get original thread for this ROM

The Apanda 101 Stock 2.3.5 Rom installed fine, pitty the screen was unresponsive!? Hrmm.. i thought they were internally the same, maybe it has different hardware?.
Didnt get round to installing the last official Huawei Rom, will give it a go later tonight.
Anyone want the Apanda 101 Rom to try for themselves just ask, it was a ***** to source and then extract from the .msi
cheers

you can bro ..... flash it through CWM and enjoy.
Some inbuilt apps like night time, uber music, I love them. Everything works fine. Even games runs very smothly
In an all its good ROM like RC2 with some optimized functionality

do you need patched boot.img ?
What is patched in boot.img? Android commander is just like a frontend for adb you just need debugging mode on in your device as afaik. Then it works with all the roms.

No idea..im just the messenger.
What i do know is this install is terrific formatting all old data.
He says there are 2 more Dragon versions to come, the one im looking out for is Dragon-S, based on Sharp Rom.

this rom is fast! but after market has updated to play it can't be opened. FC every time. Tried rebooting the phone but that doesn't help. And gps doesn't work for me but it doesn't on the original maclite either. And even if I change language to english some apps are still in russian, like TB.

GPS works fine for me, just checked using the app "Antennas" downloaded from Google Play and it locked my location so quick! not sure why yours isnt working?
maybe reinstall fresh again and dont forget to install GAPPS this time.

though adb works fine, you wont be able to replace system files THROUGH ADB PUSH with the stock rom probably because of the kernel ....

Ok but why would kernel worry about system files. Afaik there r no references to system files in the kernel apart from a few loadable modules.
Hey u r on Arch. Be pretty difficult to manage yet, a very geeky experience indeed. Hardcore.

you mean this rom does not have axis inversion issue? was that a kernal issue?

Trying this ROM, need a stable one. Is there any wifi issues? It took a while to connect. Thanks for sharing.
***Edit***
Ahh still loaded with different language. That's a deal breaker. Will there be an update to fix the english?

I mean.. one of my WellcoM A99 X6 had the crazy screen reverse axis issue and ??somehow?? this rom made the issue go away. No Rom's have the issue my phone has the issue. Its not the first WellcoM A99 X6 that ive had that has the issue either, I previously purchased another WellcoM A99 X6 which had the issue and i returned it to Thailand within the warranty period for a replacement. Unfortunately and more bizarrely this particular X6 acquired the issue after the warranty had expired so i had to live with it.
EVERY other Rom ive tried on this X6 eventually over a space of a week from fresh install resulted in me not being able to use the phone. Simply unlocking the phone from sleep was a nightmare it wasn't letting me drag the unlock all the way to the right, and wanted to do the opposite which is put the phone on silent.

geezus its a RUSSIAN Rom! hense the U9000RU, there will be no "fix" for the English. It has English as Androids main language to choose from when first booting and configuring android. Some apps like SETCPU are only in Russian.. these apps in their full form are readily available to replace from the interwebz

[ROM FIXES and SOLUTIONS] TouchWiz-Resurrection [V7.0]

Howdy all 5830i users.
Recently, i´ve tried installing TouchWiz-Resurrection ROM to my machine. It´s very fast and stable rom, BUT, as far as i found out, it has few issues that you might encounter after installing it.
First of all, bare installation :
It´s clasic Clear/Wipe Data,>> Clear/Wipe Cache >>Advanced in CWM recovery >> Clear/Wipe Dalvik cache >> installing from zip (you can find this rom here on xda).
Right after you reboot your system, you might get stuck in a bootloop. This happens quite often, but dont worry, load up recovery mode and Clear/Wipe Cache and then reboot.
Second thing you might encounter is a missing camera .
This might be easily fixed by adding stock camera.apk file (throughout Root Explorer) to system/app folder.
camera.apk file (thanks to srt99)
Set permissions for camera.apk like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Third one
i encountered is, that if you install this app, it might not be compatibile with kernel and camera setting will have GIANT FONT therefore i suggest installing this one (its Rafael Baugis Kernel and it allows you to use different frequencies ). After installing just reboot. You can find the kernel bellow in attached files.
4th one is annoying.
Default sound for alarm is always set to silent, therefore you have to change it specificaly in each one of new alarms. I solved this by installing Alarm Clock app from Google Play.
And the final one got me. It´s a bug, and this rom can´t sometimes find contacts on SIM card. You can either reflash (but i don´t know if this helps) or you can export your contacts to gmail or SD card and then import them back.
Well, these are just the ones i´ve encountered, hope this helps someone.
And a huge thanks to Sniper Killer for this rom

Contacts bug sim is due to the use of custom kernel.

Thanks for this, i checked contacts AFTER i installed the kernel mentioned above, so it might be bugged by it. So basically youre saying that 2 problems (contacts and camera font) can be solved by installing stock kernel ? Will it work with mentioned rom ?

Also, i wanted to ask, since i haven´t found an straight anwer anywhere here. Is there a cm7 (basically any 4.x.x rom) for s5830i without hardwired launchers and apps like for instance holo launcher etc. ? I´ve tried JellyBlast v3.0.3 but it had those apps installed and my headphones weren´t working without proper sound device switching app.

No i don´t mind. I´m new to all the android stuff and in past week i started testing a few custom roms. And since there is a possibillity that i wont stay with one rom (in this case this one) for a long time, it´s always nice to have all the info and fixes in one place in a case of returning to that particular rom (well, maybe my brain capacity is not large enought, but i cant realy remember every solution for every particular rom ) without additional googling or thread searching. So i decided to make this thread in a case more newbies like me will experience the same issues and on the second note, for me as a memo and a learning thread .

One more thing, don't ask for rom suggestions. Don't be lazy and try some rom. Try the one fitting your needs.
Sent from my GT-S5830i using Tapatalk 2

Installing Rafael's kernel gives more stability and performance. Init.d scripts won't work without the custom kernel. Neither big camera's settings.
Actually there's a workround for SIM Contacts bug. You should install the ROM from XK555 frimware or even VJCKL or something like that. A user reported this long time ago but personally I was lazy to test. It might be useful to you or any other.
As for camera, while editing the ROM i saw that the camera's icon wasn't changed. So i changed it on mobile using NinjaMorph due to computer issues. Everyone knows that replacing pngs on camera app is going to result on losing it. I forgot about that and uploaded the ROM without testing.
The alarm's clock can be set manually when you set an alarm.
And the rest is on the Useful Utilities post on the OP.
Anyway, thanks for clarifying those things!
Teddy!

Thanks for answering. Camera thing is realy easy to fix, so it doesn´t matter I think by "alarm´s clock can...." you meant "alarm sounds can ...", yes, alarm sound can be changed when setting alarm, but it´s realy annoying to set a tone for every particular alarm, so it´s easier to use an app. What i kinda don´t get is your solution for SIM contacts. What do you mean by installing those roms ? It would flash the one by you, or not ?

You could flash BadBoyz Kit Kat ROM and native tethering is "hacked" and works perfectly for me. I have NOT found any tethering app that is updated to work on Kit Kat, if you find one, please post..

don't really know, I didn't make it, just passed it on, one of the devs made it. far as I know it's a script to by pass the native tether, I've used it on a number of roms with no problems, this is for sense roms.

So, in case anyone else has this issue, this is what I did to recover:
1) I had to wait for a notification to pop up that I had app updates waiting in the play store, then tapped on it to get into the store.
2) I downloaded another launcher--randomly chose Go Launcher. Installed this and had access to my apps again.
3) I tested the hot spot and it worked great. Must have been the changes made by the zip file you posted.
4) Like I said, the script had changed my Sense version back to 5.5, so I downloaded the HTC Blinkfeed launcher (Sense 6) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696399 and ran it from TWRP
5) I now had my original launcher back, settings said Sense 6.0, but I had lost the ability to hot spot.
6) So, I reran your zip file, lost my HTC launcher, Sense again said 5.5, but using Go Launcher I had hot spotting back.
I'm keeping it this way for now, as I need hot spotting more that I want my HTC Launcher. Hope this is helpful to others. And I hope whomever wrote the script for unlocking the hotspot will eventually make it compatible with Sense 6 on stock/rooted phone.

I'm in the same boat, and need the hotspot more than I need the blinkfeed, although I did get used to the blinkfeed. It will take some time to get used to the go launcher. My problem is that I can no longer use the "gallery" to view pics. Any ideas on what to do? I get the same error message with the black and grey box stating that this app is not compatible with my device.

Oh.. Sure my friend, happy to be the first man, but may not try it now.. I will just download it and use it once needed, as I have already debloated those apps...

Any chance this might be doable for the Droid Mini? I'm assuming (yeah, I know) that if done it would be flashable on a current Mini with 4.4 (locked bootloader/unrooted) since it's still considered a "stock" 4.4. ROM?
Since the Mini only has 16GB (about 11GB usable at best) every little bit helps...

How would you flash it with a locked bootloader and no root? You can't flash in stock recovery.

RSD Lite, perhaps? Honestly I didn't think about it at the time I made the post, having a "senior moment" I guess. Getting sick of flashing anything, actually.

this is intended to flash it on custom recovery with obvious rooted and unlocked bootloader, not on rsd lite.
i really wish you can flash it on a locked device.

Jaocagomez, are you using this ROM now? How much is the storage used by AndroidOS in "Settings->Storage". My phone is using 6.52GB, even its de-bloated (So I have converted many apps to system app to use the FREE debloated space). If yours is showing less usage (it must be) and you are NOT having any issues (even using as daily driver), then its one of the best stock based ROMs available here, imho.
Thanks...

The system partition is what it is. You can't adjust that. The 6.52GB is the same across all stock roms.

Dear akellar, Thanks for the info...
@ OP
Whether OTA is blocked in this ROM? I mean sir, have you removed MotorolaOTA or one such app too? As OTA will fail in this ROM right?
Thanks for this ROM, as it will save lots of time debloating, when we have to flash a stock 4.4 ROM.

i didnt remove motorolaOTA from the apk's but i think it wouldnt work. if a new android version comes out i'll just debloat it as i already have everything setted up.

A system update will fail using this because it is debloated you will have to fxz to get the bloat back and take update

^^^^
Yes. To get OTA, we have to return to stock using rsdlite. and get ota.
Though OTA installation will fail, there is a chance to download the OTA, if we are less careful - which may lead to consumption of data. Thats why I have asked so.
May I request OP to remove MotorolaOTA apk files too in the next iteration (say for 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 in future), if its not going to be a tedious job. Hats off to you sir for your nice efforts. Sorry, if I said anything wrong or asked too much...

Just delete the apk yourself. Not hard at all.

Sorry for the noob sounding question, but what recovery would you recommend for this almost stock rom?
I have tried CWM - 6.26.6~ which was modified by another dev -
but it would not load this rom just got stuck in a boot loop -
did work with Cyanogen so not sure what the difference was, but they do not have a stable build for my
Moto Maxx Dev edition -
Any better suggestions for the recovery?
Thanks,
I am looking forward to a debloated 4.4 rom -

Is there anyway to disable the system update notification? I obviously can't take the OTA since I'm debloated.

No bugs. It has tmobile support for your data. Its for the vs980 Verizon.

I know it had nothing to do with your ROM but I can't stand lg's stock notifications. I'm running the stock version lollipop you released, the zip one. My question is, can you help me find a way to reduce the clutter in the status bar?

This is what I'm dealing with for baseline.... Usually there are some more notifications to deal with. I hate the am/pm, NFC, vibrate, and I only want the % battery... What could I do to achieve this? Thanks in advance, I don't know how involved your answer will be but if it includes programming knowledge you don't need to waste your time, it'll go right over my head.

I suggest you install Xposed for lolipop, and use the G3 tweakbox 1.4 beta 2.

That was my first thought but when installing xposed I ran into force closes that halted the start up. I read that by freezing the smart cover and weather apps this would fix that. Is that still the case for this version of stock LP?
Also you recommended the G3 tweak box, can I assume that wasn't a mistype of G2? I have used it in thee past while on G3 Roms but didn't know it could possibly work on the G2.

It wasn't a mistype (make sure you use the G3 1.4 beta 2 in p_toti's thread). Yes, freeze those 3 apps, or remove them.

Thanks a lot! I would have never thought to use the g3 tweaksbox, and gravity box is a little wonky on lg stock Roms.

How did you guys install the framework? I tried and got this (see screenie).
I flashed the xposed zip file first and then installed the app as was instructed....but the framework won't install..... Lg g2 arm-v7a is compatable correct?
This is my first dive into a stock lollipop ROM, so please forgive me if I missed anything.
Edit...ok, I had both apps on my phone....I installed the Right one now....but it's saying. I can only install by flashing....what does that mean ?
Edit #2: I guess my screenshot below shows that it is in fact working? I installed G3Tweaksbox beta but a warning pops up whenever I open it stating framework is not installed?

Love this ROM BTW.

Hotspot
Anyone else have issues with Mobil Hotspot with this ROM? I can't get mine to turn on. After I turn it in, the off/on button turns to blue, but my other devices cannot access it. Also, I can't turn it off without restarting the phone.

How can i install this mod?
Hey guys.
G2 is my new phone from now on. I'd like to install this mod by Micro.
I'm on 24A, Vzw Software Assistant can't detect my phone, so i can't upgrade to 27A
Could someone be very patient and tell me step by step how can i install this mod?
Should i:
1. root using Stump root,
2. Autorec,
3. flash TWRP from blastagator
4. flash 27a bootstack
5. flash Micro's mod.
Is that correct order?
Thank you!

Are you stock? If you are, that's correct order. If not stock and already have twrp, just flash my 27a bootstack and full wipe and flash rom. I would also download 24a bootstack and put in internal memory and do a backup first just in case you want to restore back to 24a.

Exactly. Go to the sticky VS980 Resources... thread to get 24a bootstack.

Does this ROM have the "advanced driver"? I'm wanting to install XCAM, but not sure which version to install.

Same.
Edit: Just reflashed XDABBEB's mod, and all is well. (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540692)

Are there any kernel tweaks to this rom? Im on xdabbeb's 39a and overall it's stout, battery life is decent but it definitely needs some de-stockifocation of the stock kernel.
Looking at the features list, I'm not seeing a big depature from the ota . what am I missing?

Anyone having issues with Titanium Backup? I can't get it to create a backup directory nor can I do it manually. Known issue? Thanks

Storage
Flashed this Rom today and have lost storage. In my root explorer I have sdcard and storage and they seems to have the same files. But when I try to download language package for swiftkey it tells me It cannot save to storage. Also my pictures are not showing in the gallery.
