WARNING : Tested only with the 4GB version of Lenovo P780
Personal Plea : Please do not PM me for every little thing. Please post your queries in this thread instead, and READ before PM me. I will ignore you if your questions are already answered here.
What are these?
These are pre-rooted Flash Tool images for Lenovo P780 4GB. They also have TWRP recovery by default. Apps installed on first boot are also removed. They can be installed from the Play Store and those included are already outdated anyway.
The Chinese version also has GApps installed as it did not originally come with GApps.
What is VIBEUI?
These are MIUI-like ROMs created by Lenovo for their later phones (phones released after our P780). They were kind enough to port them over to our P780 but as of now only available officially for Chinese base.
The one I'm sharing below is new Android 4.4.2 based VIBEUI V1.5. They are BETA QUALITY. They are rooted, with GApps and TWRP, debloated somewhat like before. They also have Chinese radios. Flash a different one in recovery that you like.
In addition to that, framework.jar was modded to have minimum number match for caller id to be 10 instead of 11 (Credit to @C3C076 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268120)
Note : Removing Lenovo Safe Center/SecureIT creates an annoying overlay that says "Security Problem" on our phone. That's why I left it in. You can freeze it however, the overlay won't show.
What are they good for?
These are good as backups. Or if you want to change your base from Chinese to Worldwide and/or vice versa. Or you have soft-bricked your phone. Or you just don't know which recovery works with your phone.
Why would I want to change my base ROM?
The custom ROMs you can find on the internet for the Lenovo P780 are meant for specific ROM base ONLY. For example, most of the ROMs from needrom, or Mobile Uncle forums (or even MIUI from the official website), are meant for the Chinese base. Most of the ROMs from Russian 4pda or lenovo-forum are meant for the Worldwide base. Flashing a ROM meant for the wrong base will cause your phone not to boot properly. Flashing a recovery image meant for a wrong base will also cause your phone not to boot. Flash with one of these base ROMs, then flash the ROM of your choice/specific base from TWRP. These images got you covered.
Where are they?
HERE :
Chinese version :
P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z
VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z
Worldwide version :
P780_S119_130929_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z
P780_ROW_S123_131231_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z
P780_ROW_S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z
How do I flash these to my phone?
You will need :
Windows PC (Windows 7 tested, may or may not work with others)
Smart Phone Flash Tool (get it here)
Smart Phone Flash Tool USB Drivers (get it here)
A good quality micro USB cable and a working USB port on your Windows PC
Step by step guide :
If your phone is not already soft bricked, back up whatever you want. External SD card is fine. If your phone is soft-brick then say goodbye to your data and skip this step.
Uncompress all the files you downloaded from this thread into a directory where you can remember. Including the ROMs.
Shutdown your phone if its not in a bootloop. If it is skip this step.
Open "Device Manager" on your Windows PC.
Plug in your phone through the micro USB cable. A device will show up for a few seconds in "Device Manager". After that, it will disappear again!
Recognize the device tree where it appeared, and wait for it as you unplug and plug in your phone again (if bootloop, its automatic!)
Catch it with a right click as it appears! Then choose "Update Drivers" and pick the directory where you uncompressed the drivers you downloaded above. Its ok if after catching it the device disconnects. You only need to install the drivers now.
Assuming the drivers are correctly installed, run the Smart Phone Flash Tool.
Click on scatter-loading and choose the scatter file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" of the ROM you want to flash.
Make sure the checkbox "DL DA All With Check Sum" is CHECKED
Click on "Firmware->Upgrade" button.
Plug in your powered down phone via the USB cable again. See it flash.
When a big green circle appears on the screen, your are done!
How do I flash a custom ROM after this?
First of all, always allow your phone to boot up at least ONCE after a fresh flash. Otherwise flashing from custom recovery will fail by some partition errors.
After that, shutdown your phone, then power it up with both up and down volume button press, releasing the power button after the screen lights up. That is TWRP. Happy flashing!
My signal has become very bad after switching base!
According to some Russian forum, phones from China has a different GSM module, and switching base may affect the signal strength since you flash also the modem image in the process.
Lucky for us, the Russians have us covered. Pick a modem of your choice and try them until you find one that works well for you:

Good to see a topic for Lenovo P780 in the XDA So I use the SLXROM from the Russian forum nearly perfect. Do you know it?

Actually that's the one I was using before I switched to the one based on JiaoYu G4 by "savyol". Reason being my iPega BT controller doesn't work on SLXROM (but that's fair because it didn't work on Lenovo stock either) but it worked in this ROM (and also MIUI).
However I could be switching back soon since the newer release of this they cranked up the auto brightness to an eye piercing level when in complete darkness and i hate it!

The JiaYu ROM i was testing is for ROW, I found it here:
http://forum.china-iphone.ru/post1223015.html#p1223015
If your phone is running LiFe it should be ROW version. Just flash in recovery should do.
Heck, if you screw up, reflash it again in Flash_Tool, hence the purpose of me sharing the above ROMs

If you have official firmware, it can be determined by the number, i.e. S110, S116, S119 (ROW), and S125, S129, S135 (Chinese)
You have a custom ROM installed. This is probably not there, or changed by the ROM creator.
By experience LiFe is based on ROW. Unless somebody ported over to Chinese base and flashed it on your phone.
The point of this thread is to share those bases. So that you can decide and switch base. So that it DOESN'T MATTER what base you are CURRENTLY on, just change to the one needed by your intended custom ROM.
PS : The JiaYu ROM has EBR included in it (partition table) so in theory it should work on either base

I think the ROM maker requested people do not share his ROM on other forums.
When in doubt, use google translate.

Hi Satanduck,
thanks for the roms and procedure. Worked flawlessly !
However, I can't seem to find the "developer options" in the settings ? Is it simply not there or hiding some place else ?
Thanks!
this is standard "feature" of Android these days, hiding developer stuff from innocent users... go to about phone, keep tapping on build number until it appears!

Excellent
Those sneaky bast**ds ! Thanks a lot!
Can somebody please confirm if this ROW version has multilingual support? I am interested in Romanian.
Thank you.
No Romanian...
Just checked, no Romanian...

@satanduck - I have bought the Lenovo P780 and facing an unusual problem. I am not able to move the Apps from the App Drawer to the Home Screens of Lenovo Launcher at all. When I long press the app icon in App Drawer, they dance with a X symbol in each user app but when I drag it up or down, I don't see an Option to move to Home or the Home Screen? The phone is not rooted yet.
your advice on this would be much appreciated.

Select the app, and drag down on wich screen you want, they are small on the bottom, or you can press menu, add app., you can select one or more..
It was a headscratcher for me too!
What works for me :
1. Long press on any of the homescreens (empty space)
2. A menu appears at the bottom with several tabs, by default it is on "Add"
3. Select what you want to add to the homescreen (multiple select possible), Apps, shortcuts, folders, widgets, etc...

Hey guys,
I extracted my ROM and was wondering if anyone here was interested in obtaining it. I bet some people need this, so enjoy Next step when i have a bit of time and some concentration, is to learn cooking
I did a dump of my HTC Touch Pro Stock ROM which has the latest ROM Update that HTC Has Released Recently for the Middle East.
Took the RUU_signed from this latest HTC ROM Update: _HTC Touch_Pro_RUU_Raphael_HTC_ARA_2.01.415.3_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe
Information about this stock ROM:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19965 (Build 19965.1.2.3)
Multilingual Support Installed. If you flash this your ROM interface will be in Arabic, you can of course manually change the options to make the interface in English but keep Arabic language support on (Reading/Writing) and you can even disable the multilingual altogether.
Uses (MOBiDIV Multilingual Support Version 3.0 Build 416 Gardenia Package Number: 32)
ROM Version: 2.01.415.3 WWE
ROM Date: 02.23.09
Radio Version: 1.11.25.01
Protocol Version: 52.58.25.30U
ExtPkg Version: 2.1.415.2
Before i post the files , i need to ask the experts which files are safe for me to post here. As in, are there any precautions i have to take i means of a certain ROM has an internal serial/activation on a certain software which may cause problems if i share them? Yes, am totally a noob in flashing WinMo phones, we all start somewhere
The stuff i have are as follows:
Part00.raw
Part01.raw
Part02.raw
Part03.raw
Part00.raw
The below are two ROMs since i created the RUU_Signed.nbh using two methods, after checking their hash, they had different ones, so i publish both :
Using instructions from Here - (Using e,b,space,c,a in RaphaelKitchen.CMD)
Result: RUU_Signed.nbh MD5 Hash: 512ea7b4435b923a3cd6a687eec79dcd
Thanks to jcespi2005
Using instructions from Here - (Using e,b,space,c,b in RaphaelKitchen.CMD)
Result: RUU_Signed.nbh MD5 Hash: 6958d00c322a91b4d679509ae4a9a02f
Thanks to Angelusz
ROM Dump Experts, please inform me which files should i publish. (Again i am asking this in case there is some kind of serial numbers/activation codes...etc). I might at any time switch back to this Stock ROM and would like to have stuff work normally
Now, I'll go ahead with HardSPL and try some cooked ROMs from the lovely chefs here in xda ( Soon, I'll join the kitchen ), any suggestion of a Cooked ROM to try out?
Wont ask what is the best ROM since there is no such thing. Basically, what am looking for is the following:
A ROM with the latest updates and Manila installed
A ROM which would allow me to read/write Arabic after i install some cabs i have my hands on right now
Lots of nice tools and programs that most probably we all use
And of course, something better than this junk slow Stock ROM (Speed / Stability)
Any Suggestions? Am considering: PROven ROM WWE 3.1 21042 out of a fast search on XDA.
Thanks to everyone in the community for making XDA such a wonderful knowledge base for all of us to learn from.

Dear Amnya,
did you buy your phone from UAE? if yes, you don't have to go through this hassle. Just use your S/N on HTC site and get the latest ROM. I'm from Egypt, I have the Egypt Arabic ROM which is a Fiasco as the GPS is disabled. I've been waiting for you for a loooonnnngggg time
By the way, about a nice fast ROm, consider also NRGZ28's Energie ROM ver. 2.0 32609. It is great and Arabic works flawlessly.

Hey mate, am glad you found me then Now regarding the phone, yes i got it from the UAE and it had no Arabic Letters Imprinted on the Keyboard (Which is GREAT).
As for your comment marked in red above, i know this, and i actually flashed my mob with that official stock ROM, the point is that i DO NOT want to stay on this stock rom and want to try using Cooked ROMs and maybe even start cooking my own ROMs for this great community.
But before flashing, i thought I'd better backup my current ROM just in case HTC releases an official windows 6.5 upgrade for free or something, or in case my phone dies and i would need to place things back to factory defaults/updates.
You mentioned that you are using "...the Egypt Arabic ROM which is a Fiasco as the GPS is disabled..." i did not quit understand what you meant there. Why is the GPS disabled? :S Is Fiasco a Cooked ROM that doesn't support GPS?
Cheers, and PS: I am still waiting for experts to assure me on what to exactly upload. Cheers

Thank you for your recommendation, checked the ROM details, and i pretty like what i see and since you say that it works with Arabic flawlessly, it makes me love it more Lets see what that Ferrari has to offer
Would you recommend that Microsoft Voice Commander or the standard one? :S What does that MSVC actually differ? i never used this MSVC.
Cheers
GPS is banned in Egypt, therefore the HTC original ROM for Egypt is without GPS drivers.
can you by any chance post the HTC ROM you flashed?
MSVC stands for MicroSoft Voice Command. It simply does what it says, commanding the phone by voice, never tried it and couldn't care less. I would recommend the other one: CSVD
You will like the Ferrari, it is great.

I would i just need to understand if i face any OEM/Licencing or anything of that sort if i do publish it. And a small question, wouldn't it help you if i upload or link you to the update that HTC released recently?
And btw, the flash i dumped is an NBH file, how can i create an executable so i only double click when i need to install it?
I do understand that to flash the nbh file i will use the kitchen tools and cab files, but wouldn't it be best if its a simply executable?
If anyone knows about this thing i would appreciate it
Cheers
If you have the latest Raphael Kitchen then in the tools folder you will find an exec file called RaphaelCustomRUU.exe.
Put this in the same folder as your nbh file and run it. Follow the instructions.
This will put the rom on your device.

Thanks for the valuable info But i was asking on how to create an executable. Not important
Now lets focus on the main stuff Which files should i upload here? in means of my own safety of loosing valuable serials/activations pre-built in the ROM and stuff like that? Or is that irrelevant in WinMo?

Read this especially points 6 and 7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=440
Serials and activations are only there if you put them there. If you can't remove them then don't include these particular programs. If you look in the SYS or OEM parts of the rom in the kitchen you will see most programs used and if you know what you are doing you can edit or remove them.

I did not understand the reason for you pointing out i read those two points :S Who said i want to post wares? I was asking about something else. i have a Stock ROM after a hard reset, i did the Flash Dump and got the original ROM off of the phone, then created the new ROM file using those files i extracted from my phone in addition to the RUU file from an HTC ROM.
That produced a file, i am asking, is it safe to upload that file for the public to benefit from? OR would it harm me somehow, one way or another? For example, in the stock rom the Multilingual support by Mobidiv is installed and it never asks for any activation, which from my understanding means that it comes registered with the phone or with the rom, something like that. Now wouldn't me posting that dump here bad for me mobidiv and so on? Or its a safe thing to do?
Thank you

As I understand it CIT MOBIdiv have an agreement with HTC so that for this program you are probably ok to include it. Google Mobidiv and see what is said.
The reason I gave you that reference is that I didn't know which programs you were refering to and if they had been paid for seperately from your phone and therefore would be ware.

My first flashing went great and the ROM is wonderful too, what a lucky night

Amnya, you can direct me to the link of HTC but to download it I need your S/N on the back of the phone behind the battery (unless you already uploaded it somewhere and have the link). If you don't feel confortable to give the S/N away for any reason, please upload the original ROM. Almost all original ROMs from HTC are here somewhere or another in every forum (links of course) without the slightest problem (legally I mean). And there will be no issues also regarding software copyrights.
Glad that you liked the Energie ROM, enjoy....

Hey mate, will post you the link to the document later on tonight, currently i am at work One problem though, Arabic is NOT supported, so what should i install to make it support reading and writing arabic? Actually am only interested in reading
Can someone post a link to the needed software or update? I tried the ARA_Patch.cab that HTC released then drew back after the latest ROM Update, but it did nothing. So any ideas?
Cheers
My answer to your problem
http://www.4shared.com/dir/18171659/bed506eb/Arabic.html
use these files as follows:
- Copy the files in Arabic folder to your phone any where
- Install each file in main memory in the same sequence as numbered
- Do not restart when any one of the files installing prompts you to do so
- Only restart when finishing the last install
- Thank me plenty
DISCONTINUED
Sorry, I just sold my phone, and I can't develop for it anymore. I will keep these threads for you guys until something better will occur, but I will have some trouble to solve the problems. Thank you for all appreciations.
-- If this will help, you can still say thank you -- press the Thanks button! :good:
For those who are fans of MIUI, this is the closest thing. MIUI announced already that they will not support dualsim phones. But two of its "children", LewaOS and Baidu CloudROM are targeting that niche. LewaOS it's more suitable, but they didn't released a ROM for this phone... yet. Baidu did, but their ROM is focusing on China market - all farmework, and proprietary apps are filled with references to China locations, zones, codes, telephony operators, etc. I tried to build a ROM from LewaOS OpenBuild source, but unfortunately that is for gingerbread (the one from github).
I took last Baidu ROM, 32, and I made a version most in English. I put there and Morelocale apk for extra languages, but ICS 4.0.4 platform has only 16-18 languages.
Features:
- like any MIUI or LewaOS ROM.
- there are a lot of settings, and gadgets
- I removed non-important apps, integrated Google Apps
How to install:
- download the ROM zip
- delete from sdcard the well known three folders: .android-secure, Android, LOST.DIR
- in bootloader flash attached baiduboot.img
- in recovery do a full wipe
- in recovery install ROM zip from sdcard
- reboot, and wait for first boot. It will start with google setup wizard.
- do all the settings you want
- Here you go! Done!
If you choose to try this ROM, I assume that you know what you are doing, and I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
Download
1. HTC Desire V Baidu CloudROM v32 Max flavor v3 Deodexed
2. HTC Desire V Baidu CloudROM v32 Max flavor v3 Odexed
UPDATED to Version 32.
On first run it will be a big clock-weather widget on home screen - just drag it to upper margin to delete - it can't be removed for good since it is related to three jars from framework, only from screen. I did removed baidu weather because it was very limitative (only few cities from around the world), but I integrated Android weather which is much better.
Then, delete all shortcuts you don't want on any screen.
To remove the chinese bulletin from last screen on left, press menu button on home (the one with last open apps in stock ROM) and select home settings, then in opened menu scroll down to the last line and uncheck it - see the last screenshot.
To see last opened apps press and hold home button.
To set names and other things to each SIM, in DualCard settings menu, press the SIM number (22601 or 22610) and make those settings in newly appeared menu.
And, so on... you have to find by yourself how this ROM works, because are too much to talk about its settings.

I don't think it will support update OTA, because we don't use Baidu recovery, and the ROM is striped out. But I will make a new version for new ROM (32, 33... and waiting for v5 stable).
Location worked fine for me, it will ask you first to update some data from market, and after that all good.
I don't know about Exchange, I didn't tried it, I don't use this ROM currently (I use my senseless version), because I don't really like MIUI.
If LewaOS will release a ROM for this phone, maybe I will try it, because from what I've seen on other phones, it's a very stable and fast Android OS, and is not so much oriented for china market like Baidu.
I made this ROM because there are some people who wanted an English version.
Carliv, thank´s for your replay.
oky we will look forward .
I use at the moment your ROM HTC T328W -supercharger-Sense 5 . This ROM is great i´m happy with this. thank you very match for this work!!!

THE PHONE!!! is not working

WTF

Install Baidu build 40 but how?
almozaffar,
Could you please share with me how you installed build 40? What boot or recovery image did you use? I really want to install Baidu ROM on my Desire V due to its slick design, speed and stability.
this method:
mr.wasssup said:
Need to remove lines:
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "t328w" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "T328W" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "primods" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "t328w" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "T328W" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "primods");
at the beginning of updater-script, which is located on the folder path META-INF\com\google\android.
To open Baidu ROM use WINRAR, to change updater-script use Notepad++ with exposed coded 'UTF-8 (without BOM)'
Put the modified updater-script in the archive with the replacement of original.
Do not unpack or repack Baidu ROM archive!!

Hey Hephappy!
Why did you leave XDA? We need you!
Your ROMs were first of the kind for our device. Moreover, good developers are leaving development of this device because they have moved on to another device.
Optimus One users want good ROMs too!

Feedback - [DEV][ROM][4.4.2] [CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500[WIP][VER-1]
I've been using this KITKAT Rom (from 27. December) for 5 days now and I'm really impressed of it - thx goes to mukulsoni and hephappy.
My feedback here, since I'm not allowed to post on a dev thread:
- Battery backup is acceptable with 2 days for me (Wifi off, Location off, low usage)
- Installed Calendar from PlayStore and calendar syncronization is working
- If you do not want to use Hangeout as you default sms client you can install 8sms from the PlayStore instead (which I did)
- Not Working:
- Wifi Tethering (@mukulsoni please add to not working list)
- voice search does not work for me (maybe someone else knows how to get it working?)
- overall performance (smartassV2, 240-710) is good but not snappy (I'm using a class 10 8GB sdcard).
Conclusion:
@all who are interested in KITKAT on our old P500, give the linked ROM a try - you won't be disappointed.

Did not like the Dec 27 build.
I am running the Omni preview which is more or less cm-11. Favorably impressed.
Offline voice search will not work on our armv6 device. Thanks Google.
Online voice does work. Use voice dictation or swype/dragon to get it into google search. Must tap search, but ...
Actually, something before getting the voice is what armv6 stops. I cannot reproduce how I got there, but I had it actually, init, take my voice and get results!! Once, just once. So ... who knows?

Why do you prefer the Omni preview? Could you please give some more details?

I took this because this is what is being developed right now, where fixes are going.
On-line voice does work. Go to settings->language&input->voice recognition. Since you are likely running with Google Search around, you will see two (count 'em) google options here. Choose the other one.
If you only see one, you need to install the old VoiceSearch.
Feedback - [DEV][ROM][4.4.2] [CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500[WIP][VER-3]
Changes between Ver1 and Ver3 I encountered
- battery consumption seems to be improved a little bit
- stock SMS/MMS app included now (no need for Hangout or 8sms)
- "national roaming" support seems to be gone now (new MVNO Settins are unclear for me - any hints are welcome)
- camera problems
- autofocus does not work anymore - focus does not go green (worked on Ver1)
- choosing HDR option leeds to FC of camera app (to disable HDR you have to clean App Settings)
Trying to record a video freezed the phone (gave me an FC on Ver1) - had to remove the battery.
Experiences from other users are welcome.
Ver6-New:
I am not able to install this version oder version 5 - status 7 error (some symlinks missing)

Back to my update problem: I already checked md5 hash and in Addition I repartioned and formatted my sdcard, formatted system and tried to flash via recovery (ver from 16th january) - but same error.
Is it possible that system of this rom is almost full and that some memory blocks of my system storage is dead? It is just an assumption or guess, but if too few memory could cause such an upgrade failure, which apps are secure to remove?
Once again, thx for any hints.

Camera 4.3 Patch is made only for stock and it replaces the 4.2 or vice versa. I dont know what will happen with MIUI.
1) Firstly, I will suggest "Dont try".
2) Secondly, if you still want to "Try at your own risk" after taking nandroid backup
3) Do whatever you want to man, coz phones do not explode on faces for any misadventure.

Hi, an absolute newbie here looking for custom ROMs for my Canvas A116 and your ROM looks like the best option. I had a couple of questions:
1. By "Stock ROM" do you mean it is the pure Google Android found on their Nexus devices? If not, are there any such ROMs for my device?
2. By "Working OTA Update" do you mean I can get future versions of Android (like Kitkat) OTA?
Thanks!

By stock ROM he means what OEM MMX has provided with no modifications, if ur looking for nexus style I suggest u can either try superluminadad or oppo r819 stock the earlier is themed aosp android where as the latter is built by oppo as an aosp n ported
2nd question yes thats what he means quite directly

Could you please clarify further?
1. I don't want "Nexus Style", rather a pure Android experience (AOSP) without any OEM customization. Simply put, I want the Google Nexus experience on my Micromax device. I will check out "Oppo R819", I remember reading that Oppo is pure Android.
2. Are the updates pushed by the dev of this ROM or by Google itself?
Thanks for your responses.

OTA update will be provided by OEM i.e Micromax not by dev
@bharat_goku for your help

1) BTW I have just released the amazing fast and smoother Final Version of SuperLuminalDAD rom and its a heavily tweaked and tested bugless version of of a rom based on AOSP rom from other model. The rom is very lightweight and all craps are removed.
Don't only think about looks, consider features also. Custom roms are made to work smoother, faster, no-lags, double triple time battery backup. All these features are "always" missing in stock roms. Some stock roms even force close with many apps installed but they work without problem in custom roms.
We don't know what is in your mind (may be you are still scared to flash as you said you are "absolute" newbie). By any chance if you make a mind to flash any other rom then its best to know its features first and if you like them flash and experience them. Otherwise you can go back to stock.
2) This thread is exact copy of factory stock roms of A116 from Micromax (not Google) and OTA comes always from Manufacturer of your Rom based on its hardware configuration.
Why GOOGLE will send OTA for 4,915,298,928 models of phones all over the world from various manufacturers? Google only sends OTA for its own Nexus series and few nexus models from LG, etc.
PS: When anyone mentions "Factory Stock Rom" in xda, generally he/she means the Official Rom from manufacturer of the exact model of the phone and not google.

1. Your SLD ROM looks great, I think I'll go for that. Dunno why I didn't see it before, it was right there in your signature BTW, I noticed it doesn't have the OTA feature, so when you release the next version of SLD, will I have to re-flash my device?
2. "Why GOOGLE will send OTA for 4,915,298,928 models of phones all over the world from various manufacturers?" :laugh:
Now that you mention it, it seems so obvious. I had this impression that Google puts out Android releases, OEMs put their crapware on top of it and make some UI changes and release it to us. So, I was looking for a ROM which will give me the latest Android version directly from Google... my mistake.
Thanks again for your responses.

@shishirdbhat I am glad you asked questions. Many good people like @bharat_goku here are keen to answer questions and help new pals. Thanks to all.
1) SLD is like a base for everyone, from minimum user to heavy app users. Lots of free memory and longest battery backup. It doesn't have OTA feature, but now the Final version is released, there will be very few occassional updates and not any major one. I provide small flashable zip updates, which you can flash when you want to. Otherwise this is perfectly worked out version. If you try it, leave feedback.in SLD thread, NOT HERE.
2) Android is Open Source Project (AOSP) by Google and other manufacturers use it with various hardware customizations of their various models with FLASHY UIs and thousand other things on their own. Manufacturers like Samsung are successful for their unique UI and added features. You will learn a lot from various people on xda. Just keep visiting. Good Luck.
Installed the tweaked a116i....its really stable and lite. Touch is also quite responsive. Just one query I have if we can increase the sound abit more. Before this rom i was using the xperia rom and the sound was amazing. Keep up the gr8 work. Cheers:thumbup:

There is an option in Developers Mode, to increase a volume little bit than normal. But it should be done carefully. With wrong settings there is risk of blowing the speaker. In tweaked version the sound is pretty clear and marginally better than normal. Still we can't expect the LOUDEST volume like unbranded chinese phones from branded chinese phones
Hi,
I am learning to build android ROM and trying to build CM-11.0 for Karbonn Titanium S1 Plus (msm8610) a.k.a Phicomm C230WJA. In the last three months after lots of efforts I progressed up to getting working kernel and going past the boot animation.
Now, I am facing the following problems when running the ROM on actual device. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I am building it from source using CAF kernel, display and media.
1. After flashing, first boot gets past boot animation and only Top status bar appears. No launcher, no icons, no wallpaper nothing only Cyanogenmod's debugging icon, battery icon shows up, rest of the screen remains blank.
2. Second boot (reboot) does not get past boot animation.
3. When screen locks itself, it gets totally white. This also happens when phone is powered off and charger plugged in. I mean screen turn off issue.
4. Lock screen appears as it should be with background image and few icons etc.
Please let me know if you require anything related to above device.
Regards,
SDhi
SOLVED
Thanks.
I resolved all issues by myself.
1. Somehow CM-11.0 forced me to include (not inherit) vendor/cm/config/common_full_phone.mk file to build all CM apps.
2. White screen issue was related to Backlight. Made modification to kernel and problem has been resolved.

Suthar,
It is still work in progress. I am working hard to make stable kernel. This is an essential foundation part.

Have you made it ?

Yes, an alpha version of CM-11.0 but I am not satisfied with the voice coming out specifically from earpiece during call. I can not understand what the person at other end is saying. He/She can hear me loud and clear. It appears there is some bug in CM-11.0 framework with dual sim phone.
To till date I have tried the followings
1. CM-11.0 voice call quality issue with earpiece only. Other things works fine except GPS.
2. CAF-4.4.4 GPS module gives kernel panic and crashes. Stock Proprietary blobs are not compatible.
3. Omnirom-4.4 does not support dual sim. Fastest ROM among the others. Trying to port dual sim support in Omni-4.4 chances of success is 1% or 2%.
4. CM-12.1 incompatible stock RIL Proprietary blobs. Same IMEI assigns to both SIM slots and SIM does not get detected.
5. Omnirom-5.1 same as CM-12.1
6. CM-13.0 build does not even start gives /.txt, /5.txt or /6.txt error and stops. CM-13.0 major bug.
7. Omnirom-6.1 unknown reason gives Kernel Panic and crashes.
Currently, giving a try to CAF-4.4.2. Let's hope for the best. I have already invested lot of time (days, nights, weeks and months) but the outcome is only failures but I have not given up. There is still hope remaining inside me.
Regards,
SDhi
Thanks a lot for that. I would like to try that one. Have you posted that on the forum ?

Have you downloaded ?
In-Call audio issue has been fixed but I would require some time to polish the ROM before beta release.
CM-11.0 Unofficial ROM for Karbonn Titanium S1 Plus Beta version released.
