[UNMAINTAINED]
This is for both locked/unlocked. Being 100% stock it is not going to unlock your BL, mess up your DRM/keys etc!
As even in the LP time some people asked me about debloating KK (and I'm using it right now and actually seems i like it more than LP too) hereby I present you my new all-in-one solution for Z3C, this time based on KK 4.4.4, consisting in one heavily debloated full rom including some extras for both D5803 and D5833, based on 23.0.1.A.5.77 FW.
NOTES
1. as in my first debloating solution for all xperia phones, all the bloat/replaced stuff is not really deleted but moved to a Backup folder in system (/system/__Backup) so you can restore anything you want very easily (sony keyboard, sony launcher, system apps etc)
2. that's the reason you can see /system partition still almost full in spite of my high debloat, but stuff moved to the backup folder is "silent", so for sure it is not affecting the system at all and it is like it is not installed: I use this approach for people who needs to restore something, this way restoring is very very easy and fast. By the way, deleting the whole Backup folder (or moving it to your sdcard) you will then see something like 1.1 gb extra free space in /system!! (see screenshots below )

Requirements:
- Working recovery installed
Instructions:
1. full backup
2. full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik) ***
3. flash either AIO for D5803 or AIO for D5833 (md5sums) [V2!!]
4. reboot/enjoy
*** NOTES ABOUT FULL WIPE vs DIRTY FLASH
You can also avoid wiping /data to keep all your data untouched but if YOU DO NOT WIPE DATA:
1. all apps I updated directly in /system may conflict someway with copies you may have stored in /data and you could get FC, especially Play Store/Services (btw in case any conflicts will appear it is pretty easy to fix them if you know how to clean things up yourself, for example clearing data of the conflicting apps installed in /data, and then uninstalling them via settings > downloaded apps)
2. my debloating solution won't be be 100% effective: the personal apps I included that are going to be installed in /data (xposed installer APK, Gravity Box, Xperia Xposed and Blurred UI xposed modules, Z3+ Live Wallpaper and latest Sony Album and Music) WON'T be installed but just placed in /system/etc/product/applications with no effects (so in this case you can either keep them there, won't hurt, or delete them if you don't want them, while if you want them installed you can just click on them to start the installation)
3. all the apps installed by sony FW in /data (kobo books, navigator, social life, psp app, avg etc etc) won't be automatically removed (you will have to go to settings > download apps to uninstall them manually)
4. you may get some FC due to missing overlays at boot: in this case, just enter in TWRP, mount system, go to advanced > file manager and move back the whole "overlay" folder from /system/__Backup/various/vendor_overlay to /system/vendor and reboot
I repeat the above will happen only if you DO NOT WIPE DATA, with clean flash instead everything will be as supposed: for sure no conflicts at all, all apps installed, xposed, modules, full debloat etc everything up and running and working OOB!
What you'll obtain doing the above:
- KK 4.4.4 23.0.1.A.5.77 FW (customized Belgium for D5803, Brazil for D5833)
- pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.46 and Dual Recovery 2.8.21
- 100% stock Odexed
- Heavily debloated with my own original list
- Play Store, Play Services, Play Games already updated to latest version as of 07/Sep in /system replacing the old ones provided in the FW
- AOSP browser replacing Chrome + sync adapter for syncing your Chrome desktop bookmarks
- Google Keyboard replacing Sony's
- Nova Launcher (stock sony launcher also available)
- ES File Manager replacing stock one
- TextraSMS replacing stock one
- Z4 bootanimation
- Latest xposed APK for 4.4.4
- Gravity Box module for KK
- Blurred System UI and Xperia Xposed modules
- external sdcard writing fix
- Google Calendar replacing Sony's
- Lock screen mod to hide "Swipe to unlock" message
- QuickPic app
- Simpler contacts/dialer
- Latest Sony Album app
- Latest Sony Music app

Hope you like it! If so, just please press THANKS!
Removed stuff:
With my solution you are going to get rid of more than 170 packages (unfortunately not also all the libs like it happen in LP because of how are placed apps in system in KK) plus all applications automatically installed by Sony, overlays etc...
As said at the beginning, stuff is not going to be really deleted, but moved in /system/__Backup folder. This way you can restore things very easily.
At the following link you will find the full list of all stuff I moved away:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gof3mcFSWxP4cONuoLXPQkGE6Xnfn9tsg899rLN3ALY/edit#gid=0
PS. the file is with read-only access for everyone, if you have any changes to suggest, please reply in the thread or send me a PM with the changes you propose
Sorry, the link was not public, now you should be able to correctly see the list!
HOW TO RESTORE SOMETHING
PS. of course I also removed from my FW all the stuff that can be easily downloaded from the Play Store (Gmail, etc)
In the hidden field below you will find the restoring instructions you need to follow to restore any package you may want back:
According to what you want to restore, you have to follow two different procedures:
- all the APKs that are inside /system/__Backup/various/etc_custom_apps and /system/__Backup/various/etc_prod_apps are regular APKs that are going to be installed in /data, so you can just run them and then select "install" like a normal APK, easy. You will then see them in Settings > applications > downloaded
- instead, all the things in /system/__Backup/system_app and /system/__Backup/system_priv-app folders can't be normally installed, but must be restored in the correct /system folders with correct permissions. To do this, see the step-by-step instructions below (in the following example, I am going to restore Chrome app in /system/app and Velvet (Google Search) in /system/priv-app, but of course you can restore how many things as you want at the same time)
Code:
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_app and MOVE both "Chrome.apk" and "Chrome.odex" files to /system/app
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_priv-app and MOVE both "Velvet.apk" and "Velvet.odex" files to /system/priv-app
- reboot
- done
PS. don't copy but MOVE things back, or permissions will get messed up and you are likely to end up in a bootloop!
PPS. still, if you mess up something copying stuff to /system, and you get a bootloop, remember you can just enter in TWRP, mount system, and then with advanced > file manager you can delete what you have just copied to /system, this way your phone will boot up properly again

Awesome man! Waiting on your feedback and your full ROM, because if the battery is much better on KK, I'll jump back to that version.
Used this last night.. its pretty cool man thanks!

after some time on KK i can confirm that at least for me it seems i get much better battery life with KK. lately in LP i could barely get to 5 hours SOT and had to charge the phone almost daily, while now here on KK during my full second battery cycle for example i got to two full days, and more than 7 hours SOT (see attachments). almost same usage as in LP i would say. it may be a case, will see later on if these stats are confirmed. if so i think I'll keep KK here
other differences i noticed so far: much better "looking" battery stats from settings in KK (i don't like new confusing graphs in LP) and most important in kk i don't have anymore the so annoying bug showing wifi on in stats even when it was surely off... can't really stand that bug in LP! finally, at last in KK i have again screen as top battery sucker, while in LP i used to have android os, Google services and/or others...
in general as said KK seems less buggy than LP here. also, i find better brightness management in KK (it seems i never need to change the brightness slider even under direct sunlight, as i used to do in LP, and no problems at all while waking up the phone, bugged instead in LP)
other thing, i much prefer the recents management in KK (after reboot don't see the many recent apps i had active before shutting down for example)
other pretty important things, in kk no spacing problems at all with icons in status bar (can't stand this bug too in LP, hate it!), no stagefright bug to worry about (i think? don't bother me too much that bug though), and probably no data connection problems as some are having in LP (didn't have them in LP here either though)
less important things: in KK i don't feel the need to change DPI settings, everything is good as it is (can't stay in LP instead if i don't change DPI first, thing are just too big by default there!), and i find KK nicer in some things (quick tiles/notification panel for example) and uglier in others (KK contacts and dialer are just terrible for example.. does anyone know of a nice alternative dialer/dialer mod? [emoji14] )
last but not least, i find KK faster somewhere (apps list in settings for example), but slower in others (clock app while switching tabs, contacts in phone app)
very last thing KK lockscreen is less customizable, but using snaplock now which is very very nice and has all i need!
all considered, for now I'm gonna stay with KK
bye!
EDIT: here I'm on locked BL, all stock. just using greenify and stamina mode
EDIT2: also, kk is so much faster than lp in booting.. just wow! Also first boot after clean flashing is much faster!

You list some pretty compelling reasons to return to KK
Also not so impressed with LP and my main reason for using LP was the problem with the R/W to the SD card in KK - but believe that has been solved now....?
Keep up the great work and looking forward to trying your KK rom when done.
PS: Maybe you should change your signature to: Z3C WAS running my (LP)..... but NOW running my (KK).
That way you get to advertise for both of your great ROMs

you can already do it pretty simply following instructions in OP. several steps are needed right now though.
btw next week will surely provide a "single file solution"
How about stagefright, is that patched? That's mainly the reason why I moved to 5.1.1.

You can read here that almost all the devices and versions of android are vulnerable. I am not sure how and where to get patch for kitkat though. There are some patched libs here on xda but the question is will they work on z3c.

no. unfortunately the guy who made that mod did it for LP only ;( we tried to ask to make it available for kk too or let us how to do that ourselves in his thread but so far he didn't reply
ok, other question. is it possible to include the "2g-only" and "3g-only" modes? i had this in another 5.1.1 rom an it was pretty useful in areas where the 3g-network is weak to force the device to stay in it and not to switch to 2g....

thanks a lot!
Slowly im reverting back to Kitkat, too. Lollipop is just not so good as KK. I cant get rid of "uncompleted experiment" feeling of LP. KK feels more consistent, completed and actually more snappier. Thanks for your debloating solution for KK, too. Works flawlessly.
Actually im getting very tired of Google's progress on Android, and im sniffing around iOS and WP. Ill hope that Google will make some significant steps to improve overall experience. LP is failure in my eyes. Especially notification area is absolutely horrible.
Changing profile's signature tomorrow to give you more credit for you good work.

You can block calls to the stagefright player in Build.prop, this doesn't fix the libs tho.

Download TK-ROM v0.3.8 md5: a30476eab55cfa59041921bd00fce9c9
v0.3.8 doesn't require a wipe to work. If you experience problems, please try wiping (data + dalvik cache) before reporting issues.
To get a really nice, blue theme for TK-ROM, visit this post!
FLASH THROUGH CLOCKWORKMOD, NOT ODIN!
Instructions:
1. Flash a custom kernel with CWM, eg. this
2. Download the ROM, and place it somewhere on the external SD card
3. Reboot into CWM
4. Navigate with the vol keys to Install zip from SD card -> choose zip -> navigate to where you put the ROM -> press home button
5. Press power button to go back, then home to reboot device
If you appreciate this ROM you may consider to buy me a soda (I don't like beer you see ). It's not expected, but highly appreciated!
Or to thank me, simply press the "thanks"-button
*To get the official Google Maps flash the maps.zip attached through CWM, and update through market.
*To remove the CRT effect flash the framework_wo_crt.zip though CWM.
*To remove samsungapps (musichub, socialhub, IM etc.) open the attached .txt on your phone, mark all, copy & paste in terminal, then accept root and you're finished. You can add/remove apps as you wish with notepad.
*The best fonts I've found so far are ComfortAA and cocon light from here.
*Phone.zip WITHOUT increasing volume is attached. Flash through CWM.
*To get the removed samsung apps installed on your system simply flash this.

i'm probably going to stick to stock from next version (which will be full version with wipe as well), as I've found a glitch in this theme already (took me one day though... was finished yesterday) :S The stock version will be up in ~1 hour
Flott jobb, mange takk /Great work, many thanks!
Although I like the black dialler, I'd prefer one with the "stock font" numbers, if you know what I mean - could that be included with your stock version?
Takk igjen
i'll wait another hour then!
are you just releasing the theme or the entire ROM ?
cant wait!
It will be the entire ROM, like 0.1b
working on it now, then I have to test it, upload and post
A few suggestions for you. I'm not fond of the charging icon included and prefer the circle that alternates between showing the charge state (percentage) and plug icon in the center. It's a lot easier to see where you are at a glance with that one when its on charge and a little bit easier than the stock when its not. This is just me maybe but I prefer to get market apps off the market should I choose them. IMO a setup like designgears uses where you can take your choice when you first boot the rom is the way to go, lets users pick their poison. Any how looks like a good piece of work and I'm likely to flash this and give er a spin.
no novek i love your theme can you keep it plaese.
excellent!
and it seems your going to be busy, i know some people really like that theme! i.e. ^

Thanks for the tips, but LP and TB are apps I use much for testing etc. so unless there are many requests to remove them, they stay.
I'm going to put a .txt in OP for people to run in terminal on their phone to remove unwanted apps (with a selection that I use prepopulated). It's easier if people just removed what they don't want, and those who like what "stock-like" gives can get that.
The "Stock" version will still be with crt/advanced power menu/battery%, but slightly more clean...
Nice rom so far.
I have two issues though; one is that Google Maps won't update, says the package is incorrectly signed. Two is that scrolling seems to 'hitch' quite often. Having come from Lite'ning ROM which was silky smooth, it's quite noticeable.
Thanks for posting though

I use the Ti pro myself, have LP installed but have been running TW debloated for a while. Wanted to give it a fair shake. The idea was not those specific apps just a mechanism that allow users to choose their poison whether it be like design gears, a spare parts, a separate app such as pulser uses. Or what you propose, doesn't matter its the concept not the road. For myself I can fix these things before I flash or after case depending but it takes less time to skip unwanted software altogether than remove it after the fact. At any rate these were not criticisms just suggestions. I appreciate your efforts and will likely flash this after I see where my battery ens up with KF1 which I flashed yesterday.

It does for me for some reason... It's from here, maybe there's a solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132
I'll look into the hitching... Is it just there during the first sync, or still present after the first 5 mins?

The idea was not those specific apps just a mechanism that allow users to choose their poison whether it be like design gears, a spare parts, a separate app such as pulser uses. Or what you propose, doesn't matter its the concept not the road. For myself I can fix these things before I flash or after case depending but it takes less time to skip unwanted software altogether than remove it after the fact. At any rate these were not criticisms just suggestions. I appreciate your efforts and will likely flash this after I see where my battery ens up with KF1 which I flashed yesterday.

No criticism taken If I don't get suggestions on what to improve, there will much likely be less results too

Thanks for the tips, but LP and TB are apps I use much for testing etc. so unless there are many requests to remove them, they stay.
I'm going to put a .txt in OP for people to run in terminal on their phone to remove unwanted apps (with a selection that I use prepopulated). It's easier if people just removed what they don't want, and those who like what "stock-like" gives can get that.
The "Stock" version will still be with crt/advanced power menu/battery%, but slightly more clean...

what about the dailer theme.
Hello Everyone,
Below is a tutorial I have compiled and translated from bbs.anzhi.com on how to update your Huawei Ascend D1 Quad XL (U9510E) to the latest version of Android offered by EmotionUI, Jelly Bean 4.1.2:
First of all, I want to give credit where credit is due:
genokolar (aka G大) - Creator/Modder of the Custom Recovery for this, and many other phones coming out of China
Ry09iu (aka R大) - Creator of a Rooted ROM based on EmotionUI B534, which is based on Android 4.1.2
【LUV】 - The board moderator for the D1Quad section of bbs.anzhi, also who's ROM release I used for my phone, but it's upto you to choose which one you want to use
**IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOU TO ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH FLASHING PHONES. IN THE CHANCE THAT YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT**
**DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR FILES!!**
Now that the credits and the warning are given, let's get started:
Required Tools:
1. Recovery 6.0.1.9: This tool will open in command prompt and will allow you to flash in the Custom Recovery created by genokolar, as well as the stock recovery released by Huawei. Mirror
2(a).Official ROMs:
i. Official EmotionUI ROM B551 (Updated January 11, 2013): Release Notes
2(b).Custom ROMs:
i. Rooted Version of EmotionUI Rom (Author: genokolar):
- B534 Download
ii. Rooted Version of EmotionUI Rom (Author: Ry09iu):
- B534 Download
- B538 Download
iii. Rooted Version of EmotionUI Rom with HOLO as default Launcher (Author: Ry09iu, Modded by LUV):
- B534 Download
- B538 Download
- B542 Download
iv. MIUI V4.1 - converted from MIUI V4.1 for Honor 2 (Author: Ry09iu):
- Download
3. GApps [Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (Author goo.im/gapps)]: Download
*The roms are hosted in China so the download will be slow, please be patient and your download will be done in an hour or two *
**PLEASE PLACE THE ROM YOU WISH TO UES INTO YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD BEFORE CONTINUING**
Step 1: Flashing Custom Recovery
1. Turn-on USB debugging on your phone [Settings -> Developer Settings -> USB debugging]
2. Plug in your Phone to your computer via USB for it to install the appropriate drivers*
3. Run recovery6.0.1.4_AscendD1Q.exe
3.5 If your system locale is set to anything other than Chinese, you will get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

But what you should see is this:
What that means is: said:
**-1. Flash Chinese Custom Recovery-**
**-2. Recover Official Recovery-**
##-3.Reboot phone into Recovery-##

Click to collapse
4. Type in "1" and press Enter -> This Recovery Flasher will do what it's made to do and when it's completed, your phone will now have a custom recovery.
5. The application will automatically close 10 seconds after the Recovery has been successfully flashed.
Note from Genokolar said:
1. The development of this Custom Recovery was done through email with Huawei so it may be lacking certain features, a full custom recovery will be released as soon as responds him
2. This recovery will only flash from an external SD Card, internal SD card flash is not yet supported
3. At the time of this Custom Recovery being posted, no third-party ROM has been released, therefore it has not been tested <- No longer the case
4.This recovery can be used to Root the EMUI ROMs released by Huawei
5. When you need to flash back to the original ROM releases by Huawei, or receive OTA updates from Huawei, please flash back the original Recovery

*If the drivers do not install properly, please download the driver attached in this post and install it manually.
Step 2: ROM Flashing
1. Boot your phone into the new recovery. (either by starting the application again and selecting option 3, or press and hold the Power Button with Volumn Up)
2. You will be greeted by the Custom Recovery Screen show below:
[*] Reboot system now
[*] Select zip to flash/install
[*] Wipe data
[*] Wipe cache
[*] Backup and restore
[*] Flash memory/Format
[*] Advanced setting
[*] Turn off phone

5. Scroll to select option 2 (Select zip to flash/install)
[*] Select zip from SD Card to Flash
[*] Install /sdcard/update.zip
[*] Activate/Deactivate Signature Verification
[*] Install from external zip
<-- Back to previous screen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Scroll to and select option 4 (Install from external zip)
7. Scroll to and select the zip file of the ROM which you have previously downloaded and placed into your external SD Card, confirm the flash
7.5. At this point, you can either flash in the gapps right away, or flash it after rebooting into the OS. I chose to flash it after booting into the OS for the first, but I don't think it will cause any problems. I will be posting the way I did it, and if you guys did it the other way, let us know if it worked or not
*IMPORTANT NOTE*
When you're booting up your system out from Recovery, you will be asked whether or not you would want your ROM to auto update the recovery, shown below:
[*] Yes - Forbid Auto Update of Recovery
[*] Cancel - Back
<-- Return to previous
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please select the one being highlighted in the image, which is option 2 ([*] Cancel - Back). OR CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
Step 3: Flashing GApps
1. Boot into recovery
2. Scroll to and select option 4 (Install from external zip)
3. Scroll to and select the zip file of GApps you have downloaded "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" or whatever you may have renamed it to, confirm the flash
4. Reboot into OS
5. *THE NOTE ABOVE STILL APPLIES, SO HERE IT IS AGAIN*
*IMPORTANT NOTE*
When you're booting up your system out from Recovery, you will be asked whether or not you would want your ROM to auto update the recovery, shown below:

Step 4: ALL DONE!
Congratulations, assuming everything was done properly, and everything worked out, now you will have Android 4.1.2 on your Huawei Ascend D1 Quad XL.
Images not showing up in your GooglePlay Store? YouTube not working?
Here is how our very own 12andy fixed the problem:
12andy said:
UPDATE: So using a clear hosts breaks the ability to connect to Facebook (via app and website). It's best to use AdAway, instead.
Nvana, it's the same process we've been using to flash the Chinese ROM(s), but with the added step of "fixing" the hosts file:
download SmartHosts from Goole Play (free)
tap on "Toggle hosts file" button
select "Clean hosts file"
And you're done! Rebooting wasn't necessary either, as the images started loading immediately.

Thank you for translating this! I do have a several question though.
1) Is it possible to edit the recovery so we can implement English into it? Maybe you can collaborate with the dev that made the recovery and ask him to make an English version of it??
2) I did a little research and I think the Chinese ascend is u9508 where ours u9510e. would there be any conflict or some features not usable?
3) I know you can change the system language but I am just wondering is there any difference in the chinese version of 4.1 vs the english version? or its just simply a language pack thing?
Wish you were in the 'GVA'
Thanks for doing this! Hope more people can test it out. I am bit too busy to play with my phone now so I'll do it in a week or so!
Keep up the good work!

Hey no problem at all,
1) I will suggest that to him, no problem, but not sure if he's willing to accept it though, but I'll try
2) The U9508 is actually the Honor 2, not the same as the D1 Quad XL. The Honor 2 was designed as a high powered budget ranged device to counter the XiaoMi M2 and the D1 Quad XL was supposed to be their flagship device. Although there is actually a Honor 2 with 2GBs of ram though lol
So to answer your question, this was made specifically for our phone the U9510E
3) Huawei has not yet released an international version of the EmotionUI for our phone, so the only way to get Jelly Bean on our phones is to run the Chinese version of the ROM. And to be honest, there aren't any major differences. For example, one difference is that the Chinese version will not have the Google apps, but we can patch it in by flashing the gapps from goo.im. I think the only difference would be that the international versions will have more language support.
Haha no problem, let me know when you do get to try it out
I've tried it many times however it did not work. The connection to the Chinese server seems to be established, unfortunately the ROM download did not start.
Got JB up and running late last night!
Please see my notes below.
ROM download:
make SURE that the ROM you download is in ZIP format; the recovery does NOT recognize 7z files (as expected)
for this reason, I downloaded version B
use Flashget to grab the file (saves a lot of time and grief in the event of network disconnections)
Flashing Custom Recovery:
the phone's drivers MUST be installed first
I think the program must be run first as well, prior to plugging the phone in (the procedure would only work once I toggled my phone from Mass Storage to Hi, and back to Mass Storage again)
Flashing GApps:
I flashed GApps right after flashing the ROM, but my phone sat at the Huawei logo even after multiple reboots
I went back into Recovery and performed a wipe, which fixed the problem
upon booting, I only had to install Gmail; Play Store was intact, and might've been included with the ROM already
ROM Impressions:
language selection was one of the first screens shown, so that part was very straightforward
don't know if it's a JB thing, but scrolling performance has improved irrespective of performance setting - smoother, with less input delay (say, scrolling up and down very quickly)
camera UI slightly changed (cleaner, perhaps?); continuously auto-focuses as you move the phone, so hitting the shutter "button" results in near instantaneous response (cool!)
more notification bar toggles - can be rearranged to a certain point
themes implementation - not really a fan of this, as I prefer the stock Android look/ feel for the most part; choice of vanilla Android is available
lock screen shortcuts can only be modified if using a theme
stock SMS client isn't vanilla Android - looks nicer, but isn't as responsive IMO
menu/ submenu background is near white - probably a bug, as white text on a near white background is just painful; probably not great for battery life either, and is not consistent with ICS+ Android colours
Dropped by the Chinese forum (yay for Chrome auto-translate!) to see if I can decipher any pending updates, but to no avail, lol. Looks like these ROM authors are also focusing on optimizations as well - happy to see that.
REALLY hoping this phone gets more popular very soon, and receives the Cyanogenmod 10 treatment.
Many thanks, Simon! Any chance you could convince the ROM authors over there to volunteer to become CM10 maintainers for our phone?

Hmm, what browser are you using? I noticed that my Chrome sometimes had problems loading the site because of the extensions I was using, maybe try it again in IE?

Great to see that everything worked! I hated their custom UI too, that's why I opted for HOLO Launcher HD for the stock JB feel
Supposedly Huawei will be working with genokolar to fully unlocked the bootloader and release a full custom recovery sometime this week so that should open up doors for other developers
And I don't even think they'll need any convincing, this thread here is a member of their development team releasing CM10 for the Ascend P1, so it's just a matter of time!
You're welcome

I tried to download via firefox however with using flashget as pointed out by Andy the download started immediately, for whatever reason.
I am also sure that this phone gets most popular soon because of a successfull compromise - strong battery, most compact size ( one-hand operation), 4,5" IPS+ display, quad core cpu and microSD. So keep your fingers crossed that our phone gets their own forum.
I do hope we get our own page but the thing that is stopping this phone from getting popular are
1) Hard to get your hand on one (BIG ISSUE)
2) Too late to join the quad core market (most people on S3 already and another big issue i mean who in their right mind is gonna give up s3 for this? and you can get a used S3 or BNIB for almost the same price of this phone if you try to import it...)
3) Try to ask anyone if they know what Huawei is ... most-likely they will be like `"what and where" ;p
4) This phone seems to be more appealing to the minority which are us who like to mess around and install Roms... and mess around during the day and runs out of battery (one reason why I choose GNex over many other great phone and one time i flashed 2 different Rom in one day at school because i was bored and then ending up running out of battery).
Yeah i hope their next phone would really make a dent in the market! But for now they already missed their chance to speak up and choose to forever hold their peace...
Well anyways while I am blah blah ing i just finished Downloading the Rom using Chrome, No Problem and took me less then 30 min. Well report back after i flash... which I should be studying for finals but... just cant stand the temptation you guys are posting....
Edit: Rom option 2(b)
So I got the rom to install but are faced with a few issue
1)*solved* Boot animation sound, I am ok with the boot animation but i dont like having sound... Would fast boot wolve that? or it takes the whole boot animation off? (Apparently if you turn the phone off in silent it will not make a sound when you turn it on!)
2) Play store not showing any image... I am not quite sure why... (Google it and did everything possible and still no avail...)
3) Messaging app when i type the keyboard cover the messages, like the message doesn't auto move above the keyboard and when i scroll the keyboard goes away. ** minor issue but its frustrating...
4) I just noticed I can't access YouTube from both the apps and the browser. Does this have to do with the rom?
I agree, this phone needs to be marketed much more here; bit of a dark horse, if you ask me.
Your S3 claim: I would have to slightly disagree with you on that one. Most people I know are still rockin' the iPhone and/ or Blackberry (this is a dying breed, however), but the tides are slowly changing now, as people are starting to take notice of Android. I only know three people with S3s, one person with a Note 2, and another recently obtained a Nexus 4 (had his Blackberry for awhile).
Boot animation sound:
I had my phone on silent (well, vibrate) last night, but the sound played still upon rebooting(?). Will test further.
Play Store images:
At first I thought it was my internet connection messing up, but turns out this is not the case. The first Google result pointed me to this, which indicates that using SetDNS (and choosing an appropriate DNS server - I like Google's/ OpenDNS', personally) solves the problem. I'll try this over lunch time at work.
Messaging and keyboard issue:
Swiftkey is typically one of the first apps I install, so can't comment on this.
Youtube:
Haven't tried the Youtube app/ site yet. I'm thinking this MAY tie into our DNS issue.
Further impressions:
stock browser isn't vanilla based, and isn't hardware accelerated, so it's a tad choppy (forcing 2D acceleration doesn't seem to work, either)
stock browser has a neat feature whereby if you swipe from the right bezel going left, it'll reveal the tabs; pretty intuitive in that regard, IMO
I tried the DNS level 3 and that didn't work.
One question did you set external sd to main storage? It doesn't seem to save apps on it?
Sent from my HUAWEI U9510E using xda app-developers app
Aw boo.
And yeah, I have external SD as main. AFAIK, that setting is only for things such as pictures/ videos, and not for apps.
Apps will always default to the internal storage, which is where the App 2 SD program comes into play.
EDIT: Hmm, I wonder if LUV's version (option C, per this thread) is any better than B. Simon, have you tried this one as well?
Hmmm weird bc without setting it my pics and video already saves on external.
Can we not just flash a stock 4.1.2 and flash the radio? I'm guessing gps and camera won't work properly? I don't like the Huawei 4.1 to be honest :s I'm back to 4.0 haha just can't stand the setting menu.
By the way I'm just curious on how you guys got this phone? Through windmobo?
Sent from my HUAWEI U9510E using xda app-developers app
Hmm, maybe the camera app itself ignores the system settings, and defaults to external SD on its own...
I don't think flashing a stock 4.1.2 would be that simple, otherwise we wouldn't need to go through these loops (via Chinese ROMs) just to obtain JB. Hence, my anxiety for a CM10 release.
I myself am pondering flashing back to stock, but the touch responsiveness of JB would be hard to let go of. Granted, it's a bit of an improvement only, but still.
Might try LUV's ROM later tonight.
And yes, I got this through Wind (on a TAB, nonetheless). I don't think this phone is available anywhere else at the moment, as far as Canada is concerned?
Sighhh I miss flashing roms I do it so much it's like I'm addicted haha. I still got my GNex to mess with.
Have anyone compiled their own rom before from free sources?
I guess we can try to learn to do that and cook up a rom for this phone that would be cool.
I'm having an issue with wify on ics I cannot connect to my school secure wifi. I had all my credential set up but it won't even attempt when I press connect.... You guys experiencing this too?
By the way have you tried the DNS to fix the market? I read somewhere that the app doesn't seem to work on jb?
Sent from my HUAWEI U9510E using xda app-developers app
I only enjoy flashing when the ROMs bring about new, practical features, performance improvements aside. I always get a chuckle out of Apple fans who jump for joy whenever an update is released. My response? "Yeah, remember how you felt when Apple released that update? Now picture that feeling, but almost every day... welcome to Android."
I'd love to get into ROM compiling, but programming is anything but my forte. I'll leave it to the Linux-heads and the guys behind Cyanogenmod, SlimBean, etc., hehe.
Odd. My wifi worked perfectly fine on the stock ROM, connecting to my home router (WPA2 Personal).
I ran across someone that said that if you attempted to use SetDNS without root, that you could possibly hose your wifi. Considering we are rooted now, I haven't the idea as to why you can't connect to the school.
SetDNS set to Google's DNS didn't work, unfortunately. Might be a glitch between the app and the ROM itself, perhaps.
(My school uses 802.1xEAP. I know I set it correctly because my GNex connects fine.) ** solved
Yes I do rmb the days when I had the iPod touch 2g and I hated how things look soo boring and function so limited so modified the crap out of it through Cydia. They had pull down menu already many years ago in Cydia and apple didn't pick it up till recently lol.
Is Huawei working on 4.1 for global firmware? I hope they keep the stock lock screen and stock menu.
Can't wait for someone to release 4.1 AOSP!
By the way compiling shouldn't be too hard? There are many tutorial and program to auto compile I rmb I had a program like that few years ago...

Per this thread, it seems that we'll be getting JB officially very soon. Bit late IMO, but better late than never.
Bit surprised about what Telco wrote about the XL's reception though, as it's quite the contrast to what Howard found with his.
Battery life
Hi I just wondering if any of you on the 4.1 can compare the battery life with me. I think I read it somewhere that the 4.1 improves battery life significantly. Here are my results
4.0.4 ICS, Screen brightness on auto. On battery save mode most of the time
By the way anyone fixed the play store/ you tube issue?

About the reception i have to say i agreed! My GNex never looses signal completely (just down to no bar but still barely connected) but the ascend drops to no service. At school too I noticed I get drop signals in some areas that i didnt notice before. Maybe that have to do with the battery saving mode? I will try putting on performance mode to test it out in those areas.
The way you grip I do notice some drop in signal. Probably the architecture and location of the antenna

Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included
in this ROM before flashing it!
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger
at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
About JazzROM-GT-N5110-KitKat [please read carefully]
First thing first; I don't consider myself an experienced ROM developer nor pretend to be one here.
This ROM based on both stock 4.4.2 and @civato 's 4.4.2 ROM (you should be already familiar with his ROMs)
It uses @civato 's KK Kernel, which I found superior to stock 4.4.2 kernel. So whatever Civato listed on KK Kernel feature applies here as well.
There are a lot of my own ported apps included in this ROM. I am not going to list them all here, I am sure you will find them out one by one when playing around with ROM.
Aside from ported apps, you will also find out many features in the ROM as well, like S5 practicle effect on lock screen, etc..
Needless to say, this includes my famous ported SPen Aircommand features too. Don't ask me to remove Spen Aircommand, if you don't want it, you are in wrong ROM thread my friend!
Because of SPen Aircommand, Chrome and Reading mode does NOT work (causes soft-reboot), so please do NOT report it as issue
since this is known bug since beginning (remember all discussing about it in Civato's ROM thread, so let's not discuss it here again!), so make sure use
Chrome Beta and turn off Reading Mode in the settings. If you think these two are too critical to you, then again this ROM is NOT for you my friend!

Important!: Up to here (step 9), you should able to move around, check it out, do Google app updates, add your email account, Google accounts, etc..all normal setup like you do when you step
your tablet first time. Enable multiwindow, and check multiwindow side bar, etc, and make sure multiwindow works. Click on Air Command Shortcut app, and click OK when it prompts you, once you done with it, close Air Command Shortcut app and now Pull out spen, make sure SPen Aircommand window shows up and click on each options and make sure all works (action memo, scrap booker, screen write, etc). Make sure check everything here, all working as it supposed, If there's problem, start over from Step 1 again...
*
10. Open Xposed installer and go to Xposed Framework, install Xposed framework, and when it prompts you to reboot, reboot your tablet.
11. Leave Synapse App (kernel tweaks) settings all default, I found out that default settings plays nicely with @Civato's Kernel.
12. Get the moded SystemUI, please see post#2 below for instruction. V3.0 comes with moded SystemUI, if you don't like it, flash stock one on post#2
13. I hope you Enjoy the ROM,[/I]

Additional Info about xposed
I have following xposed apps installed on my device - keep in mind some are paid/donation ones, support the developers and buy it;
-Amplify (enabled)
-App Settings (enabled)
-ButteredToast (enabled)
-Flat Style Colored Bars (enabled)
-Gesture Navigation (enabled) - instead of using xblast tools, I use this one's gesture settings - double tab to sleep and long press to open Aircommand window
-Greenify (enabled)
-PerAppFonts (enabled)
-Popup Window Mod (enabled)
-Wannam Xposed (currently not enabled)
-Xblast Tools (currently not enabled)
-Xposed Fast TWLauncher (enabled)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using both Amplify and Greenify helps extend battery life. My ported TouchWiz launcher already optimized (by me) for smoothness, and having Xposed Fast TWLauncher seems like
makes it much smoother. Xposed Fast TWLauncher originally intended to Note 3 devices's SecLauncher, but it works fine here. I am currently not using Wannam Xposed nor Xblast Tools,
- I was relying on them because of gesture stuff, but since now I switched to Gesture Navigation, I disabled both of them on my device. if you want to use it, use only one of them as they may conflict each others.
Warning: Xposed stuff and apps are great way to customize and add extra feature to your device, but sometimes they causes a lot of conflict to each other and device itself, which eventually makes your
device unstable. So My personal experience and suggestion to you is always be cautious. before you go crazy with xposed stuff - always make a full-nandroid backup.
Additional Settings
I have these are set to (Settings --> Developer Options)
Window animation scale 0.5x
Transition animation scale 0.5x
Animator duration scale 0.5x
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You may loose some fancy animation (which is not noticeable anyway), setting them 0.5x makes the device much smoother and better performance. Of curse, this is up to you if you want
to have, I am just throwing it here just in case if you like to give a try!
Known Issues/Bugs
None of these issues mentioned here causes any instability of your device nor anything major, these issues considered as very minor, nothing showstopper
As it is mentioned above, Both Chrome and turning on Reading Mode (and using play books, or any other ebook reader) causes soft-reboot. Please use Chrome Beta from play store. There's no work around for reading mode, if this is very important for you, then you should probably using other stock base ROM(s). Because this ROM included latest ported and moded TouchWiz launcher from Galaxy Tab 4's 4.4.4 firmware, setting wallpaper lockscreen using TouchWiz launcher's settings causes launcher to FC, instead please set your lockscreen wallpaper thru Settings --> Display --> Lockscreen

Help and Troubleshooting
I have been running this ROM several weeks by now, and considering this ROM is quite stable and smooth, but as saying goes, there's no Perfect ROM, everyone uses his/her own devices quite differently, so there could be some bug(s) that I may overlooked. In addition, I had ROM testers who tested the ROM several times. If you follow install instruction carefully step by step and did clean install, you should not have any problem - all should work fine except two bugs Chrome and Reading Mode (see above for explanation).
It is very critical to read entire OP post here before posting question(s). Remember that this is provided as it is, means I am not your full time tech-support. Several people here in Note 8 community know me that I always try to help, but sometimes I don't know the answer nor have solution for your issue, so please do NOT be offended, ask here and maybe others will help you. Remember this is community driven thread, so help each other whenever possible.

How to get moded SystemUI on JazzROM?
This one is a bit tricky, but I am sure you eventually get new look of SystemUI (see screenshot) working without any issue or FCs, so be patient here;
Now, it is very important that you followed all steps outlined above first post and you checked everything (including Multiwindow sidebar, Spen Aircommand,..etc),
and you have been using your tablet at least couple hours!
Once you are confident that everything is working and no issue, copy both of these zip files to your device and go head flash this in recoveryJazzROM_Note_8_Mod_SystemUI.zip.
- do not clear caches nor dalvik caches!, just simply reboot your tablet after flashing. Now, when your tablet reboots, it could happen two things; it is either get SystemUI stopped error or
you will get no error.
If you get t SystemUI stopped error, flash JazzROM_Note_8_Stock_SystemUI.zip to revert it back the change and reboot your tablet. Once you got stock SystemUI in place and rebooted your tablet,
what you can try is doing it manually copy systemUI.apk (from JazzROM_Note_8_Mod_SystemUI.zip) to system\priv-app folder, give the permission 644, and reboot and check and see if you still getting error.
If no more error, you are probably good to go. It may take you couple of try, but I don't see a reason this won't work since it has been working fine on my device!
Assuming you got new SystemUI working no issue, it is very important to re-check everything again everything (including Multiwindow sidebar, Spen Aircommand,..etc),
Mod_SystemUI;
JazzROM_Note_8_Mod_SystemUI.zip
To revert it back to stock SystemUI, flash this in recovery and reboot;
JazzROM_Note_8_Stock_SystemUI.zip
Additional Apps for JazzROM
Additional Apps &Customization for JazzROM:
This is the section where you will find some additional apps, customization of JazzROM and give you some alternatives.
Even if I mostly tested them all, I would still recommend you to do some kind of backup before you start exploring these apps, and customization
===*****************************************************************************=======================
Alternate Home Launcher(s) for JazzROM
Asus ZenUI Launcher
Flash it in custom recovery, and then when your tablet reboots, choose Asus Launcher

LenovoLauncher HD (From Lenovo Tablet S8-50, USA)
Sometimes a simple launcher is all you need. Here I am presenting you LenovoLauncher HD. My wife likes this because it mimics iPad (she has iPad Mini),
so whenever she wants to use my Note 8 tablet, she switches to this Launcher. By the way it start to grown on me for some strange reason, maybe because of it simplicity?
Anyway, it is nice looking launcher. I have modified this launcher to fit nicely to our screen. Please note that app name under icons is small, can't able to make it bigger
even if I tried 13p font size, it still gets the default font size, but this really does not bothers me - so don't ask if I increase it or not. Second;
when this launcher is not set default, and if you uninstall an app, it give FC (but still works), so just ignore that..
This is NOT flashable zip, so in order to install, copy content of package to your tablet and install as normal apps. It includes onekey lock and mirage theme
(pulled from Lenovo Tablet S8-50). In my setup, I place the lenovo launcher in System\app folder, and i installed onekeylock and mirage theme as normal apk...

Maybe you don't know, Samsung just pushed 4.4.4 firmware upgrade to GT-N5100, had chance to download firmware, here extracted (deodexed) ]SecCalender Tablet SPen apps.
This is NOT flashable zip, so in order to install, copy to your device's system\app folder, before you copy two apps, make sure you delete the ones comes with JazzROM (or backup, in case you want to revert it back). Anyway, did not see huge diffrences, it seems app is a little polished that's all...but thought I should share with you and give you an options which version oc SecCalender to use..

SecThemeChooser for JazzROM's TouchWiz Launcher (see screenshot below)
This is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722650 originally made for Note 3 theme chooser, but it also works on JazzROM's moded TouchWiz launcher as well. Because I ported latest TouchWiz launcher from Tab 8's 4.4.4 firmware, so seems like Samsung's newest stock launcher supports theme chooser (but apprently it was disabled). Anyway, using this method will enable it. Please read install instruction in above xperiacle's thread how to install. Here I am including download link, this has some extras - several additional themes included. Have fun.

Thank you for giving us gt-n5110 owners another option. Everything is still running very nicely.
"Chance Favors the Prepared"
Sweet ROM! Not only does it run smooth this ROM has made the SPen fun again.
Any chance for GT-N5100?
N5100?
TKs! I will test.

sorry guys...I don't have N5100, nor any other variant of Note 8, I have N5110 wifi...so it will be so difficult for me to build ROM for it...I don't want to say it is never going to happen, but can't promise any of you that it will happen anytime soon either...
Im really liking that Asus Zen launcher. Thanks for the port.
"Chance Favors the Prepared"
Thank you!
Trying out JazzROM. Thank you for putting it together. Very smooth. I like the updated apps. Battery life on day 1 seemed a little low, but have brought up Greenify and will see what the next few days bring. The take-away message here though is a big THANK YOU!

Battery consumption should be the same like Civato's ROM really. I am getting good battery usage, not perfect, but consider it normal (again, comparing the civato's ROM). Both Amplify xposed and Greenify helps extend battery life, in fact I am using both apps all my current devices. Let me know how your experiences with JazzROM goes..
The Amplify module made a big difference in battery life. Nice ROM!
I followed every point in your installation instructions, but multi windows is not working.. can you please help me? BTW. I miss the keyboard secondary symbols.. thank you for your hard work, it's realy a good room.

thanks for the feedback. Are you getting any error for multiwindows? or it is just simple does not shows up (multiwindow sidebar)?
About keyboard, when you say secondary symbols, what do you mean? screenshot?
I don't have issue with multiwindow, it works fine at my side...but of course, I will check it out...
Multiwindow issue & Email Exchange issue
After I got catlog from one of jazzROM testers, I dig into log, checked it out...it seems like there's some issue with SystemUI.apk - this is moded SystemUI, which makes it looks like S5's...
what strange is that I am not having issue, but again even if we all on N5110, there's could be tiny diffrences...anyway, my plan is do the new build v2.3, and stock SystemUI and Email apk, and some additional instruction how to replace SystemUI with new one (after ROM installation)..
anyway, watch out for new build v.2.3 in couple days....
First. Sorry for my bad english. The multiwindows sidebar simply does not show up no matter what i do although i repeat the installation steps two times. About the keyboard here's a screenshot taken from civato's room a month ago..

[UNMAINTAINED]
This is for both locked/unlocked. Being 100% stock it is not going to unlock your BL, mess up your DRM/keys etc!
As some people asked me hereby I present you my new all-in-one solution for z3c d5803, this time based on LP 5.1.1, with following charateristics:
- Based on LP 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.264 FW (D5803, customized IT); 23.4.A.1.200 (D5833, customized HK) both with good spaced LTE icon
- pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.46 and Dual Recovery 2.8.21
- 100% stock (odexed)
- Heavily debloated with my own original big list
- xposed flashable v78 official by rovo for 5.1.1 + xposed APK alpha4
- Web View Google already updated to latest version as of 21/Jan in /data
- NFC icon restored
- Etar Calendar replacing Sony's
- Google Keyboard, Dialer and Contacts replacing Sony's (normal V8) or stock Sony versions (in V8_sony version)
- Nova Launcher replacing Sony's
- ES File Manager (pre-bloated version) replacing stock one
- QuickPic (neutered signed pre-bloated version) replacing Sony Album
- Z3+/Z4 bootanimation and live wallpaper
- Z5 conversations/messages/InCallUI/Phonebook (V8_sony version)
- Gravity Box, Unlink ringtones/notifications volume, AppsOpsXposed, MinMinGuard, Blurred System UI and Xperia Xposed xposed modules in /data
- Latest Sony Music in /data
- DPI changed to 280 for much better screen experience
- External SDCard writing fix
- Status Bar Icons Spacing Fix - example
- Camera/Album link FIX - to be able use camera without Album installed so you can open the images you take with your favourite image viewer!
- Lock screen fix in SystemUI (for hour in bold, and minutes in thin font) - example
NOTES
1. as in my first debloating solution for all xperia phones, all the bloat/replaced stuff is not really deleted but moved to a Backup folder in system (/system/__Backup) so you can restore anything you want very easily (sony keyboard, sony launcher, system apps etc)
2. that's the reason you can see /system partition still almost full in spite of my high debloat, but stuff moved to the backup folder is "silent", so for sure it is not affecting the system at all and it is like it is not installed: I use this approach for people who needs to restore something, this way restoring is very very easy and fast. By the way, deleting the whole Backup folder (or moving it to your sdcard) you will then see something like 1.1 gb extra free space in /system!! (see screenshots below )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements:
- Working recovery installed
Installation: (as easy as...)
1. full backup
2. full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik) ***
3. flash either AiO for D5803 [V8!!!] or AiO for D5803 [V8_sony!!!] or AiO for D5833 [V6!!!]
5. reboot/enjoy
PS IMPORTANT NOTE for unlocked BL users: to fix r/w on system you will have to flash a custom kernel like the one by Gustavo for example
*** NOTES ABOUT FULL WIPE vs DIRTY FLASH
You can also avoid wiping /data to keep all your data untouched but if YOU DO NOT WIPE DATA:
1. all apps I updated directly in /system may conflict someway with copies you may have stored in /data and you could get FC, especially Play Store/Services (btw in case any conflicts will appear it is pretty easy to fix them if you know how to clean things up yourself, for example clearing data of the conflicting apps installed in /data, and then uninstalling them via settings > downloaded apps)
2. my all-in-one solution won't be be 100% effective: the personal apps I included that are going to be installed in /data (xposed installer APK, Play Games, Sony Music, Gravity Box and Blurred UI xposed modules) WON'T be installed but just placed in /system/etc/product/applications with no effects (so in this case you can either keep them there, won't hurt, or delete them if you don't want them, while if you want them installed you can just click on them to start the installation as normal APKs)
3. all the apps installed by sony FW in /data (kobo books, navigator, social life, psp app, avg etc etc) won't be automatically removed (you will have to go to settings > downloaded apps to uninstall them manually)
4. not all the things needed for xposed to work contained in the FW will be installed automatically, so xposed will not work OOTB anymore (to get it to work, you will need to install manually at least xposed installer APK you can find in /system/etc/product/applications, and then all the modules you want to use)
I repeat the above will happen only if you DO NOT WIPE DATA, with clean flash instead everything will be as supposed: for sure no conflicts at all, all apps installed, xposed, modules, full debloat etc everything up and running and working OOB!
In case of UPDATING from one version to another: (as easy as... if not expressly mentioned to do otherwise...)
1. full backup
2. wipe system, cache and dalvik (do NOT wipe data, this way you will keep all your personal data)
3. flash new version via recovery
5. reboot/enjoy

- simplified all-in-one zip structure with less "extra" scripts (i did put three zips in one so at the end of the fw flashing you won't see too many additional zips flashing after each other)
Removed stuff:
With my solution you are going to get rid of more than 170 packages and all relevant libs/stuff plus all applications automatically installed by Sony, overlays etc...
As said at the beginning, stuff is not going to be really deleted, but moved in /system/__Backup folder. This way you can restore things very easily.
At the following link you will find the full list of all stuff I moved away:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1geFByRKDTOOZSIBOixO2boG1_78NUjqzkB6iozzJ4-k/edit#gid=0
PS. the file is with read-only access for everyone, if you have any changes to suggest please reply the thread or send me a PM
HOW TO RESTORE SOMETHING
PS. of course I also removed from my FW all the stuff that can be easily downloaded from the Play Store (Gmail, etc)
In the hidden field below you will find the restoring instructions you need to follow to restore any package you may want back:
According to what you want to restore, you have to follow two different procedures:
- all the APKs that are inside /system/__Backup/various/etc_custom_apps and /system/__Backup/various/etc_prod_apps are regular APKs that are going to be installed in /data, so you can just run them and then select "install" like a normal APK, easy. You will then see them in Settings > applications > downloaded
- instead, all the things in /system/__Backup/system_app and /system/__Backup/system_priv-app folders can't be normally installed, but must be restored in the correct /system folders with correct permissions. To do this, see the step-by-step instructions below (in the following example, I am going to restore Chrome app in /system/app and Velvet (Google Search) in /system/priv-app, but of course you can restore how many things as you want at the same time)
Code:
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_app and MOVE the whole "Chrome" folder to /system/app
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_priv-app and MOVE the whole "Velvet" folder to /system/priv-app
- reboot
- done
PS. don't copy but MOVE things back, or permissions will get messed up and you are likely to end up in a bootloop!
PPS. still, if you mess up something copying stuff to /system, and you get a bootloop, remember you can just enter in TWRP, mount system, and then with advanced > file manager you can delete what you have just copied to /system, this way your phone will boot up properly again

Current Events
Dodo released! This means this ROM is now extinct. Sorry! If links below fail, try this one!
OTA is in Beta. Will be included in CM 13 release once both are stable. OTA will be available before full-sized versions due to the testing process (updates are tested first).
SnapChat will not work without some help. This is entirely SnapChat's fault for trying to control your device. Please read this thread before flashing and how you can make it work. Or just open Xposed installer, install Snapprefs and reboot.
Introduction
Welcome to the fastest and most stable ROM for your OnePlus. This thread is mainly a support thread for Jgcaap's awesome work, allowing him to spend more time working on "M" and less time answering questions. His latest builds will be tested by me, hand selected for stability, and the best of the crop will be repackaged, enhanced, and placed here. If you are new to this ROM, check the screen shots for benchmark results and battery life screenshots. Be amazed, then download the ROM and be even more amazed! Smooth as glass and flows like water! As one person has said, "Disgustingly Fast!"
Please read this entire post! Check back often for updates. Also, current jgcaap users will get additional information and tips that can be useful. Check out all the links! And if you want to try some Bacon wrapped Marshmallow, click the bent arrow in the Announcement's line.
Wildlife
Each ROM will be named by an animal, starting at A for Aardvark. A picture of the animal will be placed here so you can see at a glance which release is current. The original jgcaap ROMs often have multiple releases in a single day, and every country has a different date format, so the animal names will allow us to represent specific "official" releases with memorable names.

Features & Changes
The ROM gets repackaged so that new users don't have to go about tracking down which files they need and which order to flash things. The firmware is included and everything is set and ready to go. For legal reasons, just add your own GApps and go. This ROM currently has the following feature's prepackaged and already included with the ROM ...
SuperSU (pre roooted)
Xposed (special jgcaap version)
Moab Ad Blocker
--- ZooKeeper can configure this!
ColorOS Camera
--- with manual focus option
Viper (Audio Eargasm)
Dolby ATMOS! (Dodo+)
Send Reduced (send small pics)
CatLog (for bug reports)
Show On Lockscreen (wallpaper)
OmniSwitcher (optional)

Governor: blu-active (Badger+)
Low call volume fix
OTA Support (coming soon!)
Support, Questions, Feature Requests and Bugs
Please report all bugs for CM12.1/Lollipop based Jgcaap ROMs to this thread. Even if you didn't download one of the Wildlife pre-packaged ROM sets! Feel free to ask questions. This thread will have the same warm inviting atmosphere that jgcaap's development thread has always had. Newb-friendly and all are welcome!
Getting Started
There will be two ROM images available. The update packages will be designed with a smaller download size with only the files that have actually been changed. The installer will not remove things you have added nor re-install programs you have removed. If you are already using a WildLife ROM, use the Update packages to upgrade. This does not apply to full versions. The full versions should be clean flashed.
The next post will have Step-by-Step instructions telling you exactly what you need to do and how to go about flashing your phone or upgrading. The post after that will have all the tips and tricks for maximum tweaker power. Finally, we'll have instructions on how to rescue your phone when something goes wrong.

Flashing WildLife
Flashing Instructions - Full ROM
Step 1 - Backup
If you don't have a backup program, you can grab a really fast and free one, Backup+. XDA Forum | My Mirror - Direct Download. Be sure you keep the APK on your Internal Storage so you can install it easily and restore the rest of your apps. Also, I strongly recommend you copy your internal storage (or at least the backup directory) onto a PC, a harddrive, a flash drive, or cloud storage such as Google Drive. Get it off your phone and make it safe.
Step 2 - Boot into Recovery
Even if your reboot menu doesn't have a Recovery option, you can always just hold down the Volume Down button when your phone boots and you're good. I recommend Philz Recovery from this XDA thread or you can download the exact ZIP I use.
Step 3 - Wipe Carefully
This step is what is known as a "clean flash". Do not perform this step if you are flashing an upgrade or addition. If this is the first time you've flashed this ROM, you want the full version and you want to do it cleanly. Failure to clean flash leads to odd problems. For example, Agent stopped reading my calendar, or my Camera plugins would start to disappear.
You do not want to do a Factory wipe or anything like that or you'll lose all your data. Do not format /data. Here's where it gets confusing. Many recovery systems treat /data and Internal Storage as if they were separate partitions, but they are not. Your internal storage is on the same partition as /data. If you are from Windows, image your /system is your C: drive, and /data (where your apps are at) and your internal storage are both on D:. Your recovery has a specific wipe designed to safely wipe /data without wiping out your internal storage by erase directories individually, yet automatically.
Philz makes this simple and direct. Select Wipe and Format Options, then select Clean to Install a New ROM. Confirm the wipe, and you are ready to go.
Step 4 - Flash the ZIP
This is pretty easy. Select the option to flash it, find it on your device, and away it goes. If you downloaded the file to your PC (or wiped your internal storage and now have no files on your phone), you can use the "sideload" option you see in the menu. Just plug in a USB cable and type: adb sideload Aardvark.zip This does require that you have adb drivers set up on your PC, but you needed that to unlock your bootloader, right? More tips like this in a later post!
Step 5 - Flash your Gapps
The most important part of Gapps is making sure its for Lollipop. The more up to date, the better. You should download the smallest GApps that fits your needs, just so you don't have to download so much. You can specifically control which Gapps are installed with a config file. Just drop the gapps-config.txt into the same directory as your gapps ZIP file. This file can even delete crufty Cyanogen apps that you don't need or want (you have better ones from Play store right?) and reduce bloat considerably.
About the Gapps Config | OpenGapps is the recommended Gapps package | Newer Sources for Gapps | My gapps-config.txt ... note: you might not want to use my config unless you want almost all your Cyanogen apps to go away. When the system comes up, you won't have a file manager to install Backup+. I install it with "adb install BackupPlus.apk" or if its on the phone, you can log in with adb shell and then install with pm install $PWD/BackupPlus.apk
TIP: If you have Chrome installed from Gapps, you can open it and type "file:///sdcard" in the URL window and then select your Backup+ or Titanium Backup APK to install it. Be sure you have "Install from unknown sources" turned on. Now you can restore your good File Manager (like FX File Manager mentioned in Post #5) from your Backup and don't need Cyanogen's!
NOTE: If you have trouble with OpenGapps, then you can try my stable mirror or SlimGapps (which is now recommended by jgcaap, but I've not tried it myself yet ... but expect it to be the new recommended after I run it through the paces).
Step 6 - Reboot your Phone
After flashing, the first time your phone comes up, its going to optimize itself and you should expect it to take awhile. Don't panic, and wait a few minutes. I refuse the CyanogenMod account (you already have a Google one, and Cyanogen doesn't offer anything extra and defintely do NOT send bug reports or analytics to Cyanogen!). I also go into Settings, About Phone, tap the Build Number like a mad monkey to turn on Developer options, and from there, I enable the Reboot Menu, Fast Boot, Cut the animations down to below 0.5, and turn on ADB since I'll be installing Backup+ over ADB.
Step 7 - Restore your Backup
Use your file manager (or ADB) to install your backup program and then restore the rest of the apps from your backup. I keep my Wifi off so that Google Play won't freak out and try upgrading stuff while its restoring. Do not use ROM Settings Backups to try to move settings from one ROM to another (thats what Update files are for). You can usually restore your Desktop with Backup+ by restoring the data for Trebuchet if you formerly used another Cyanogen release. The next reboot I go to Play Store and upgrade any apps that need it.
Step 8 - Final Config / Updates
I haven't found a perfect way to back up Trebuchet and my desktop ... but Backup+'s system backup tool (paid feature) can be used to restore the Trebuchet data, which gets everything but the widgets. If you use OmniSwitcher, just turn it on. If you use Xposed, it should already be working and active. If you don't use Xposed, jgcaap's version won't slow down your phone or cause glitches. However, if you really don't want it on your phone, you can flash this to deinstall it and can reinstall it without flashing the whole ROM by flashing this file.
MaxxAudio is gone ... use Viper. Set it to Super Audio Quality and reboot when it says to (Aardvark only, no reboot required for Badger and above). More about Viper here. I strongly recommend reading as there are a lot of optional add-ons (convolvers and such for emulating other tones and systems) but many of these will use significant battery power. I don't even use it for the built-in speaker. You can control it per output device, and have different profiles, such as if you have multiple pairs of headphones or different USB Audio devices.
Please Donate to the developers when you use an app. It is only through your support that you get to use high quality apps. This ROM has ads blocked, so developers of free apps will go poor and hungry since they won't be getting any revenue from your ad clicks!
Flashing Instructions - Updates
An update is a slimmed down version without any apps (unless they've been updated), no firmware, no media files, etc. And it avoids flashing over files you may have changed or deinstalled, like the hosts file or various bundled apps. It doesn't touch your settings, you don't need to wipe anything, and it just upgrades in-place. All you need to do is Steps 2 and 4 and 6!! Updates are clearly labelled. Never wipe your phone when installing an update! No OTA yet.
Tweaking
Tweaking, Trimming and Theming
Kernel
There is a UKM for jgcaap's kernel which is in the download area. You'll need Synapse from Play store to use it. I don't recommend tweaking the kernel, but if you want the option it is there. Just download the ZIP, flash it in recovery, and you can start tweaking some kernel parameters! Personally, I use 3C Android Tuner (see below) because it can tune more than just the kernel, but you might find something UKM does that 3C doesn't. As as Badger, you can use the init.d script option for restoring settings imposed by kernel tweakers.,
Governor
Your governor controlls when your CPU is at full blast, when it throttles down, and how quickly it changes and by how much. This will affect battery and performance (and "lag") considerably. As of Badger, the default CPU governor is "blu_active". You won't need to ever change to "Performance" mode to squeeze out more power, its runs even more fluid than before, and battery life is as good as ever. There are a couple ways to select the governor. The one I use is 3C (below). The only source of lag is memory. If you run out and Android has to swap stuff out, there will be a noticeable delay. If you rarely get lag, but get it rather severely, I bet its when you have 20 apps open and a million installed with their own background services and content providers! Suddenly the OOM (Out Of Memory) killer attacks and your phone stops for a second or two. I'm testing a possible solution, but everyone's phone is different.
CPU Temp
How hot does your CPU get? If you run Cardboard like me, you might be concerned. If you have to switch to an app to find out, then your CPU will have already cooled by the time you see the temp. This CPUTemp App displays an overlay anywhere you want that will show you your exact temperature. It can also save the data and give you in-depth graphs of CPU speed, load, and temperature. Alternately, you can just use this Xposed module to always show the CPU temperature in your status bar. (WARNING: I've not tested this Xposed module myself).
Xposed
Wildlife already has Xposed installed. If you have heard of requirements that your ROM must be deodexed or odex or and that you will have compatibility issues or slowdown, the current news is that the latest Xposed works on odexed ROMs and jgcaap has personally blessed some modifications to increase speed and compatibility with this ROM, and final result is packed into Wildlife. However, until you install some Xposed modules, it lies dormant. Fire up the Xposed Installer and you can start searching for tools to tweak how your phone looks, how it acts, how it sounds, and tweak some more battery life. Once you install a module, activate it, and then reboot.
Please be aware that not all Xposed modules are compatible with Lollipop and not all modules are created equal. I have heard mixed reports on GravityBox in particular. If for some reason your phone gets horribly confused and won't boot because of some Xposed module you have installed, or if you just hate the idea of having Xposed and want it gone. There is a solution! Flash this Xposed Uninstaller and if you flash this and want Xposed to come back, just Flash Jgcaap's modified v75 Xposed framework.
Ones I use are the 3C Toolbox helper, Clarity (makes your contacts in better definition), No Device Check (privacy), RootCloak (hides root), Smart Network (auto switches between 3G and LTE to conserve battery).
3C ToolBox
If you like tweaking, this toolbox has a little bit of everything. You can view logs, including last kernel boot log (the one that ran before you crashed), open a terminal, set a firewall, change CPU and GPU governors, disable services, remove programs from the start-up list, change network congestion control ... the list goes on and on!
Here is the XDA thread (with download links) for this tweaker's toolbox.
Battery Extensions
The first step to checking battery problems is Wakelock Detector and Better Battery Stats. These tools will tell you where your juice is going. If an app is holding a wakelock, ditch the app or alert the developer. Once you see what is chewing the most battery you can launch an assault on it with these tools:
Xposed Modules - Again, I'm going to defer to an expert source, @V7 's Extreme Battery Life Thread for all the goodies on PowerNap, Greenify, Amplify, and all the others that you've heard about.
Underclocking - I simply do NOT recommend this. Why? Well I checked Better Battery Stats! And my CPU had only been at full speed for 6% of the time. The next speed was under 2Ghz. So, is it worth slowing down your phone by 20% in order to achieve an overall savings of about 1.2% battery? The reason for this is that your system has what's called a governor that predicts how much CPU you need at any given moment and adjusts accordingly. This means you only use max CPU when you need it! If you underclock, then you are slowing down your phone when you need it most. You might even waste more battery because you'll be keeping your screen on longer waiting for your phone to finish!
Undervolting - I don't like this idea either. Basically, the voltage is how much strength it takes to open the transistor gates, like little doors. When your CPU gets busy, the voltage can fluctuate by small amounts, and if you undervolt your CPU, you can occasionally get a gate that doesn't open, and your get a CPU doing really crazy things and some app with crash or your whole system will crash. Generally, higher speeds require higher voltage to keep your CPU stable, and less voltage at lower speeds. Imagine trying to open and shut a door really fast ... you'll need more force than just shutting the door gently.
Can I get 9hrs SOT? - Sure! See the screen shot, but here's the secret. WASTE battery power! If you have a flip-case, remove it. Take your screen timer and set it REALLY high and don't turn off your screen. Let it BURN! This will ensure that your screen is on for a really long time. Cheating? Well, yes and no. The point is that someone who is chatting on their phone over Wifi and rarely touches it, but leave the screen on while doing so will get great SOT. The guy streaming Bluetooth audio all day long and has their phone tethered to use LTE internet with a low signal will waste tons of battery and may not have the screen on at all. The 9hr screen on time was done while doing all the above, plus some web browsing using ....
Ultimate Browser - This browser is said to use less battery than Chrome and others. You can check it out and see for yourself on The Ultimate Browser XDA thread.
Themes
Many people ask about the themes pictured in the screenshots. This is the Deep Darkness Overhauled Theme but with the thinner fonts from Cosmos CM12. Just select which parts of each theme you like before clicking the Update button.
I'm now using an Add-On package for this theme that gives icons that aren't so dark. It has a cool font, too, but I don't know if I like the Cosmos or Deep Darkness Add-On better. I'm also using a compromise between the 400 DPI (real) and 480 DPI (stock) of 440 DPI. This still gives me 5 icons wide on the home screens without throwing off apps that expect stock DPI (much).

Recommended Apps
Please note that these are some of the best of the best, and most of them are not free!
Email - [email protected] Mail This is a fork of K-9, which is the Android Mutt (from Dr Who) .. mutt being a classic Unix mail program. I love Dr Who, but [email protected] was such a big improvement, I had to go with it. If you need full folder support, multiple accounts, and support for email cryptographic signing and encryption, multiple identities, and html editing of email and html signatures!
Music Player - PowerAmp - this is by the best music player I've used, bar none. If you don't want it messing with your custom lockscreen wallpaper, you can tell it not to, or add a whole second/custom lockscreen over the original. It has its own EQ, but I don't need it with Viper. To make PowerAmp compatible with Viper, simply turn off the direct volume control. You can use Xposed to add more volume steps if you like the extra control that PowerAmp's default has.
Video Player - VLC Video Lan Client Plays everything, does everything, streams videos, and has remote control apps to connect to other VLCs anywhere on your network.
QuickPic - QuickPic is a replacement for the stock Cyanogen Gallery. It works and acts much the same only its much much faster. Another good choice is Piktures, but new users may find it a bit more complicated, and it doesn't seem to be nearly as fast.
Agent - While much of what Agent does can be duplicated with other tools, the ease of use and flexibility of this tool can't be beat. It monitors your calendar for meetings and silences your phone, knows when you are driving and responds to your texts (and/or reads them to you), detects when your sleeping and makes your phone quiet (even if you sleep at different times). Has a battery saver mode, and can even remember where you parked. The Meeting agent works best if your calendar supports the "Busy" flag, which Google removed about a year ago, so ...
Today Calendar - The Today Calendar is just a really beautiful app and has some nice widgets (although I just use cLock from Cyanogen to show my calendar and make appointments via Voice commands, so I don't see Today much, I still bought it). It has the Busy flag and all sorts of features. If you want one a little less flashy (and free), try Boxer Calendar.
File Manager - The FX File Manager is by far the greatest file manager. It has everything built in, including SMB to network with Windows and SFTP to network with any machines running SSH. App Management, Media Refresh, and nice clean material design! Bloat free!
FXR Wifi Repair - Get this app and install it NOW! You will thank me the day you end up needing it!

Don't know if 10/30 needs deodex or not but if its before jgcaaps hacks you'll need the older Xposed. I have it and Ill upload it for you to my site (Eddon Systems Download Page ... link in first post). Viper is already there (look for LolliViper).
If you don't mind taking the time to do a clean flash, Aardvark is based on the 11/08 build with the Apple code. All works out of the box Dirty flash possible, but can lead to weird problems.
I'll upload Xposed v75 right now
More about me at https://eddon.systems
Ok so it is possible to run odexed version and have Xposed working? I've heard that I need deodexed version for exposed that's why I'm on 20151030.
Thanks a lot for fast response!

Deodex and Xposed
The newer builds are made in such a way that you can use them with Odex builds without problems. We even have a special "Hacked" version of Xposed that prevents the possible slowdown issues and bypassing jgcaap's ART improvements.
So yes, use Odex and new builds and preferably the "Hacked ZIP" for the framework, although normal v75 still works. Or flash Aardvark. I've got maybe a dozen Xposed modules active.
The reason you don't see newer Deodex is because they aren't needed anymore

It varies based on date and jgcaap's whim. The 11/08 builds do. I don't think any deodex builds do because he stopped making those before the Apple assembler code experiments.
Since 11/08 has it, Aardvark has it.
Bionic isn't a ROM build, its the Android low level C library to which the Apple code is being added.

Actually, I put your name in as a contributor (and obviously @jgcaap) which gives you a lot more access. That way, if I'm hit by a bus tomorrow, other people can step in (its the admin in me). You might be able to edit the project page and initial reserved posts yourself.
My routed here is getting old so I'm doing a reflash and adding a captive portal to disconnect people when there isn't a human body using it. I need to cut down on everyone's bandwidth usage. So ... gonna be a busy night.

Well this came around at a perfect time! I haven't been actively flashing my phone much this year and my current ROM is from July 5th lol. So I'm not really new, but could use something pre made like this. Reading, backing up, and downloading this afternoon, then flash later tonight. Thanks for putting this up.
Is the rom ok to flash on system/data/cache on f2fs ?
