I wonder if there is another way to install custom roms to 997d beside twrp or cwm ?

I tried to install two custom roms but in vain , although making full wipe and wiped internal storage , and every time I see flickers on alcatel screen without moving to system .

So, If anyone tried to use a tool or someway to install ,can tell us about ?

what is changed enhanced on custom rom

did anyone answer Blindedfox his question ? i am also curious about this.

(i have installed TWRP and the custom rom on my device, so far i hardly notice any difference from the custom rom, it actually seems to be draining my battery quicker than custom rom, with titanium i put back all the settings from my rooted 997d that i backed up before TWRP+custom rom.

before i got about 4 to 5 days battery life, now it looks like i wont even get close to this.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RATTAR:
It is possible to add more languages in Framework-res.apk and settings-res.apk the main apks of the OT-997.

But its a time eating job.

Unfortunally i am only a german and english speaking guy.

for the translations in polish and arabic language i used the files of CM7/9/10-ROMs and translated with notepad++ in this languages.

Because the ROM have a dualsim i could only translate the single sim entries in the xmls.

The dualsim-parts must be translated by people who really speaks polish, arabic czech eg.

If you wish, i can extract the xmls who needs more translation and you can add the untranslated entries in it.

Guys, I've updated to the latest firmware v4.0.4 build: vB7Y-0.

OS is a bit laggy at all. 1GB of RAM along with 1GHz dual core, isn't it enough to avoid lags ie. when playing Cut The Rope, it lags if compared to HTC Desire HD. Also if I'd like to play Catapult King, on DHD it loads in about 5-6 seconds, but on OT 997d the loading takes ages (it's about 15 seconds).

Do you also have to deal with these issues?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eimai_kala:
I have not faced any issues in playing games, even more demanding like Dead Trigger. However my problem is that the screen does not exploit the rest of the hardware and with a refresh rate of 33.35 Hz there is not a lot of smoothness.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eimai_kala:
Well i downloaded and played Catapult King and the loading time was about 13 seconds and i had many other apps running at the same time. It runs fine not smoothly. As for Subway Surfers the game is smooth-ish and this is due to the refresh rate of the screen. With only 33-34 fps at max you cant expect anything more even though the processor and the amount of ram can provide better results than 34 fps.The problem is the screen i think.
