is there any rom that updates the android? my android is still 4.0.1

I tried the qing tian rom as u suggested but reverted bback to the maizi 592zn rom. The qt rom gave me a few problems, the most annoying one is that some of my apps refused to install on that rom. Though I do agagree its slightly smoother than the maizi rom

Guys, i updated my phone to QT_JB_APKHOT_V1.6 but i found that it is too unstable and most of the commonly used apps are crashing. So i am back to stock ROM.

Guys, I have installed CWM recovery permanently. Now i want to update to G3-20121129-082828卡刷包 because it has battery fix. When i try to do it as shown in the guide given, i am seeing CWM recovery instead of the recovery of 'Update System' .

I am not able to update with CWM recovery. It is aborting due to errors. Guys, can anyone help me in updating my ROM to G3-20121129-082828卡刷包 ?

thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] cerberusxd:
Ok so I use the G3-20121129-082828 update because my battery life was not lasting 20+ hours(more like 12 t0 15 hours) and then suddenly my battery life becomes worse and is not only 3 hours max(Battery Mix says so and my % of life goes down fast). Why is this happening?

All I did was just place the update at the root of my sd card, did the system update and bam. Could it have been a bad update file?

Sorry to all of those that expected a tut from me, I've been on the move a lot lately and away from the pc. It seems others have covered the required steps to install a ROM though.

Install Lewa ROM on CWM recovery ?

I have installed CWM recovery on my Jiayu G3 and now i want to install Lewa ROm from (need rom)....how can i install Lewa ROM please ?
[General Questions and Answers] elben:
Copy the recovery.img to the root of SD card, run MobileUncle, select Recovery Update and follow instructions.

Another way is with SP Flash Tool. Search forum for instructions.

Be careful, the new LeWa recovery 2 is in Chinese, install the no. 1 which is in English.
[General Questions and Answers] ubelai:
Unfortunately LED Notif doesn't work like the other 4.1.2 Roms, but dual sim and camera work fine. Haven't tested tethering yet though.

Even though every 4.1.2 released to date misses some features from 4.0.4, the overall performance shuns in my own opinion.

One thing noticed is, coming from an iPhone and having the habit of fast typing, I noticed the 4.0.4 touch interface couldn't keep up with my input which was quite a bother, and 4.1.2 sorted that for me.

Not only input, but scrolling, multitasking and pretty much every other activity done on the phone is much more fluid.

Project Butter featured in 4.1.2 really does the justice that 4.0.4 lacks.
[General Questions and Answers] hillvieira:

[General Questions and Answers] cha_indian:
Thanks man..it helped. Was wondering if you know how to install Lewa ROM ? does it have any new features apart from the different look of the UI
[General Questions and Answers] andref:
To install LEWA ROMs you need the LEWA recovery. It can not be done with CWM. To install the LEWA recovery use Mobile Uncle and the LEWA recovery file listed in the rooting tut. Just be aware, as mentioned above, the latest LEWA ROM will install a new LEWA recovery which is all in Chinese so note what is where in recovery before you flash. LEWA is nice, bit like MIUI, lots of nice little tweaks, its a personal thing so try it out. I prefer clean JB myself.
[General Questions and Answers] cha_indian:
Thanks Andref....I have a few more questions for you .....

Does the Lewa ROM fix the battery drain problem in the stock ROM ?

Currently I have a English Lewa recovery.....and now if i install Lewa ROM, does this is english recovery is erased ? if so, then can i reinstall the original english Lewa recovery ?

Does the Lewa come with normal Google apps? can it be rooted with Bin4 method ?

What is the most stable JB ROM out there ?
[General Questions and Answers] koolbrader:
Please read a few pages back. I've already covered this, u have to remove all the chinese letters in the ROM before flashing.

Follow these steps:

1)backup

2)reflash

3)wipe data

4)wipe battery stats

5)restore data n apps from ur backup

Always remember to charge phone to 100% wipe battery stats after flashing a new ROM. This will help u recalibrate the battery. U don't need to condition the battery, it just takes some time to get used to it's new ROM. When I 1st flashed my ROM, I got same battery life as you. Now I get around 40 hours before I need to recharge.

I never noticed the slow typing issue u were talking about on 4.0.4. I'll still wait for official 4.1.2 1st before updating. Don't wanna use buggy ROM, even if it has very little bug.
[General Questions and Answers] elben:
LeWa Roms have their own UI, which I find it very nice. They have changed Radio FM, Sound Recorder, Calculator etc.

The notification bar is great, the Music shows lyrics and when you open Phone, you can scroll horizontally to Contacts, Messages, Call history.

So, you need only one of these buttons in home screen. They also have an Updater, where it searches for new roms, downloads and install them automatically.

The battery is also good. Their launcher is not good, so you have to install one from the store.

I had it on my G3 till yesterday, but I changed it to a 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The new 4.1.2 rom is fast like a bullet.

On AnTuTu I got 6057 while with LeWa 4.0.4 I've got 5742. The problems I got, is that a) it has a few Ringtones and only one (1)

notification sound and b) the led works only when charging (red) and charged (green), not for calls, emails, sms.

[General Questions and Answers] ubelai:
If you're that fast a typer you'll know where I'm coming from. Plus 4.1.2 has an upgraded touch interface from 4.0.4.

This will be my last Rom before the official release on the 20th.
[General Questions and Answers] cha_indian:
thatz good news!!....where did you get that info ? any english language forums ?
[General Questions and Answers] andref:
Not sure about the battery, but most folk using it find the battery good. I don't use it so can't comment.

When you flash the zip, the recovery you have is replaced by the one in the zip file. You should be able to reflash it using Mobile Uncle. I reflashed CWM with MU when I tried the LEWA ROm so it should work for the older LEWA recovery too.

The ROM is already rooted so no need for Bin4 and I don't think it has Gapps. I usually flash the required Gapps zip at the same time as I flash the ROM just to be sure.

Most stable JB for me so far is the QT_JB_APKHOT_V1.6 released in 06/01/2013. Be sure to wipe everything before you flash else you will have app install issues.
[General Questions and Answers] wangiles:

I find that all the roms are quite buggy or unstable. Waiting for the official G3 rom is what I'm hoping for now. 4.1.2 does have a lot of positive difference compared to 4.0.4.

How to install playstore on 592zn 4.1.2 Maizi ROM (14-01-13)

Hi Ubelai, great peace of rom !! real fast and clean. I like this rom however i need to install playstore for market. I have deinstalled the Chinese market which come with this rom i have deinstalled, i have tried google playstore (plstore3.10.10.apk) but when i try to run it closes immediate ?!

How to get a functional Playstore for this rom or which version to use ?

Hi shotfac, nice to see you're enjoying it :)

Did you install the Play Store via the Chinese market? I encountered a similar problem when I did so, but flashing the gapps .zip fixed those problems for me!

Or I think you could place the market app in system/app and give it permissions :)

I haven't encountered any charging problems since I got it on the 14th :) runs great! Only two more days until the apparent official release of 4.1.2, keen for this!

[General Questions and Answers] koolbrader:
If it's your launcher that is the problem, u can try taking a snapshot while u r on ur lockscreen. If it works then yeah, ur launcher is the problem. Just make sure u press both the power button and the vol down button at the same time.

I have tried already a few ROMs (including latest official), that didn't solve my camera pb.

Otherwise it's a great phone, runs smoothly with apps and games, and handles perfectly the 2 SIMs and the 3G.

This link is the Card Brush ROM

________________________________________________

Difference between Wire Brush and Card Brush:

Wire Brush is for Brush tool and can be used to flash the phone.

Card brush is to flash the phone update in recovery or with the update app and can’t flash the entire phone.

Translation, Wire Brush is to be used with SPFlash tools while Card Brush is used to flash through CWM Recovery or using the Update app in the stock ROM.

You can also check out this link on how to flash the ROM even though this tutorial is meant for a different chinese phone and different chinese ROM, the steps are the same.

[General Questions and Answers] twrock:
I found Superuser in the G2S rom as well, but the the default.prop in the boot.img was not modified to allow root. One simple letter change would suffice to "root" this rom. ;) But I haven't yet download the G3 Beta, so I'm not sure if it is the same situation.

Nope, looks like it is not rooted.

I could try to do it, but I have no way to test the results. So if you really want to try an untested rooted boot.img, let me know. Otherwise, it would be best to just wait for the final rom anyway.
