should we root blu???

Hi hardy,

After flashing Firmware of Blu Vivo 4.3, should i root it before flashing ZhaoBlastJB ???

forgive if i asked a very basic question.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
no need to root just copy rom in sd and follow instruction:):)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avishekrc:
I am having stock unrooted ICS v 4.0.4.I haven't rooted ever. Please can you let me know the steps. I dont think CWM is also available in the stock rom. Can I install Bluevivo without rooting or without using CWM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hotbaggy:
Yes you can install Blu vivo 4.3 without rooting. But after installing Blu vivo, if u want to flash hardy's ZhaoBlastJB Rom, u need CWM or TWRP.

Steps???

1) Flash blu vivo 4.3 using sp flash tool. The complete procedure and related links are given in requirement's section. ( click on the word "here" )

2) Flash ZhaoBlastJB using CWM or TWRP. There's a "how to" just under the requirement's section.

Thats all.

And don't forget to thank hardy. He's done a very good job with this Rom.:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hotbaggy:
gapps did not work.

I flashed the gapps package, but did not work. It kept on saying "unfortunately app has stopped" non stop. I had to reinstall the Rom. (didn't know what else to do):confused:

And, I also tried to install the android 4.2 keyboard swype. But this also didnot work.:( Is there any ways to make this work???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
its all right man :)

btwn yes u have to backup your device IMEI data first before flashing SPFT Firmware

then if need after falshing this JB ROM u can also resotre it using same methods Mobile Uncle Tools one :)

Thanks

Hardy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
Thanks man :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:

reboot device in to recovery and wipe cache partition

now go in advance menu and wipe delvik cache and fix permission

Hardy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:

Bro i am little bit confused... should i directly download the ROM of 260 mb for micr

Bro i am little bit confused... should i directly download the ROM of 260 mb for micromax a90s or should i install blu vivo rom..... :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
Already said in First Post that you must Download and install BLU Vivo SPFT Firmware first before flashing this ROM

thats all dear hope u understand now :) Check Requirements and u find threads in "" HERE "" just click on that u direct in BLU Vivo threads :)

Thanks

Hardy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:

also thanks for quick feedback on it

its appreciated :) i'll check it asap n post reply soon with fixs or new mods
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kunmun23:
Try the Swype keyboard. It works fine with this ROM and with multilingual swype support it is much better than android 4.2 swype that I used on megamax v1.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

OP, thanks for this awesome ROM. I have been eagerly awaiting for a great ROM for my A90S. I am a heavy user that uses many apps/widgets etc and with that kind of usage, all the ROMs I have tried so far on my A90S start getting laggy. This one doesn't seem to be suffering from that issue.

Haven't come across any other bugs so far...camera is crisp and responsive, sound is great..network is great, wifi is fast, UI is responsive :good::good:

Couple of requests :

1) GPS issues seems to be partially fixed. It gets a lock very quickly but in terms of actual usage, it has very poor accuracy (thinks I'm on some other road half a kilometer away !!) and frequently drops GPS signal. Can we do something about this ?

2) In "Contacts" is there a way to "only show contacts with phone numbers" ? Otherwise it shows all contacts from my google contacts...as a workaround I'm using GoContactsEx but it eats up a lot of memory.

Thanks !!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hotbaggy:
I flashed the gapps through CWM and reboot my phone. As soon as the phone started, the messages started popping up saying "unfortunately

app

has stopped" where instead of "app" the actuall app's names was displayed. when i click ok, then another message pops up and again and so on... it never stops popping up. It does not give u time to click on any other things at all.

And can u make the keyboard app work (android 4.2 keyboard) ??? the keyboard which shahul has posted on his rom thread( post # 3). That has the preview feature compared to the swipe app.

And again.... good work with the rom man... i liked it. U guys are doing a great job. You and Shahul and lopestom and others too... :fingers-crossed::good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
thanks for your review but i guess there r no options available for only show contacts with Phone numbers :(

also still now removed gaps mods cuz of too much lags :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
for now leave that gapps mods cuz find many lags on it by many users :) until i fixed it leave it :( sorry

as soon as possible i'll be fixed it btwn u try it manually if u want it right now

unrar mods and take all apps in sd and then move it to system and give permission to rw-r-r

( read/wirte-read-read )

thanks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mir Asif:
Very long flashing procedure

This is no doubt a wonderful effort though i have not installed this ROM yet... i will be checking it out in next few days...but i need answer to my question.

Why do we need to flash a different firmware (BLU Vivo 4.3) before flashing this ROm.... i mean what sense does it make?

if there is any file required to run this rom, why don't you include that required file in the rom file package...

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
first sorry for this trouble .... but icant able to pack those files in this ROM cuz of knowledge limitations buddy..... we need custom jb boot.img for boot jb on our A90s ... BLU vivo is clone of A90$ one also Gionee GN868H too thats why those device ROM is working with ours ...

luckly BLU vivo Got JB updates n we mmx user still not got it so thats why we need to flash that BLU Vivo Firmware mark my words its not only ROM its a Firmware which have many files which convert over A90s to fully BLU Vivo 4.3 :):) i hope now u understand me if still u have some qs. in your mind feel free to ask me ... if i know then definitely tell u

Thanks

Hardy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manuhackzzz:
can you modified it for my micromax a90 plz...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
sorry dear its not possible otherwise sure i can do it for many A90 users as well

thanks

General Review

I have installed this rom tommarow only... let me share some little experience about this Rom.

before this rom i was on Megamax developed by Shahul...

i didnt have any complaints with that rom firstly... that rom was a perfect alternatevely for the stock rom....

but i always wanted a jellybean rom...

Now when i first installed this jb rom i didnt get much time to play with it, i installed it and charged my phone to max level (100%)

i went to sleep(10pm) and left my phone on super power saving mode, the next day when i woke up(6am) i was surprised to battery percentage at 98% remaining.... only 2% of the battery had drained....

that was amaizing for me... previously on megamax rom i used to have 90% remaining battery.... that means there was an improvement from 10% drainage to 2% drainage...

now another part...

this rom too uses modified xperia launcher like the earlier rom but the previous one was more beautifull... the icons on this rom are smaller and no option to enlarge them...

one thing i again found on this rom was a modified kernel for fast charging option and over clockable cpu and gpu..

i hope someone out there will be preparing a kernel with fast charging mode as this phone takes nearly 3:30 hrs to charge..

Thankyou!

Feedback for your ROM

Hello guys,

I said I would test the ROM Bhardik and here I am. Well, actually the ROM is light, I'm really enjoying it. All conditions are favorable and the apps works well, has no problems so far. I'm putting some screenshot I made for you to make sure that I put the ROM on my device. I really liked that came with ROOT.

Some of my usual apps and taste are not, however I put them later, this is no problem. It was up to no good, since it was installed on sdcard. Anyway, has only praise for your amazing work.

The Best Custom for JB on MMX A90s

Hi Guys,

I can vouch for every word said by Lopestorm. I flashed this rom last night after I brought my phone to live using CWM. My phone got stuck in boot logo after replacing my build.prop. :silly:

The good point is it is better than stock JB rom because it saves a lot of ram for other programs to run smoothly. Although, the launcher is pretty smooth and there is not a single lag in any operation and Xperia lovers will go Gaga over it. :p

Bhardik - You have done a great job buddy and I am looking forward to see V2 of Zhaoblast JB. If you can accommodate our requests then it will be great :highfive:

Hope Shahul is cooking something good for us. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shivam Bhalla:
plz check the bug while changing wallpaper it always give "Unfortunately,3D Stereo Wallpapera has stopped". Live wallpapers gallary etc working fine.I have before also requested for the same plz see it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bhojo1:
Again if you want that 2.8Gb data patition

You need to flash only the EBR1 ATTACHED HERE VIA spft . I have added some stuff that might make it flashable under CWM but I have not tested it thoroughly...

Enjoy...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] subhajit:
Firstly thanks for this awesome update. The screen-shot and the user-reviews looks impressive. I have made up my mind to give it a try.

I have got a few doubts here:

1. I have taken IMEI backup using Mobile Uncle as well as taken a backup of NVRAM directory. Do I need anything else to restore my IMEI in case I loose it while flashing?

2. In case I need to go back to stock MMX A90S ICS ROM (in case I need to send the phone to service centre), what I need to do? Right now I am using Megamax ROM, so I can just restore my stock from CWM. But I guess this method is not going to work after I flash Blu firmware over it.

Awaiting for experts' opinion before I jump in :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
well if u want go back in stock ics rom then u have to download stock A90$ firmware as well flashinf process is same like upgrading jb throw sp flash tool.... and for imei i dont think so that while flashing throw sp flash tool u loose your device imei .... still u make backup then its enogh:)

Thanks

Hardy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
also i can tell u some bugs in JB itself.......

1. battery drain bit faster compared to ICS rom

2. free RAM is bit less u got only 130-150 max...

3. notificaion sound running in silent profile....

rest all things working like a charm for me .....check other user reviews before flashing rom.....

cuz m not responsible any damage of u r device at all:o:o:thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks

Hardy

[MENTION=4661533]BHARDIK[/MENTION] Thanks for the reply. Actually I could not wait so long for the replies.

Honestly I could not resist the temptation of updating to your ROM after looking at the screen-shots and the comments :D

Till now it's working perfectly fine. Just a minor problem, I can't create audio profiles. Well that's related to the Blu Vivo firmware, nothing to do with your ROM.

Thanks again for such a wonderful ROM :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
actually past few days m on banned period thats why unable to reply so just now replied..... n believe me u like ROM thats all buddy...... i have nothing to say nything else....:D:D

Battery Life

Those of you who are using this new rom can you please update me on the battery life.

I have heard any JB rom consumes more battery than the stock ICS rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
Well Compare to ICS ROM any custom or stock JB eat more battery ;) its damn true :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avishekrc:
Thanks. Think I would better stick to the stock ics. Thinking of just rooting the stock rom just to remove the bloat ware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avishekrc:
Rooted and now all bloat ware removed. RAM showing up as 241 Mb. That's the max I can get.

Hey, [MENTION=4661533]BHARDIK[/MENTION]. I want to test your ROM, but I'm not sure about the base frequencies in it, I mean, I don't know if your ROM works with 900/2100 or 850/1900 for 3G.

Can you please confirm which frequencies it uses? Also, if it is 900/2100, do you know how to change that to 850/1900?

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
Hey Buddy sorry for late reply......

Actually This ROM is Based on Vivo D910i .....m not sure which frequencies used in Both D910i and D910a so find it yourself....

Thanks

Hardy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] subhajit:
Thanks. Just Installed. Will use for sometime and provide feedback.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
Thanks .......n u r most welcome :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shouled:
Nice...

Hey [MENTION=4661533]BHARDIK[/MENTION], your ROM looks so awesome with this update. It's a shame it doesn't work for Blu Vivo D910a :(

Anyway, congrats for the great work! :highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] subhajit:
Here is my Review:

Process Used:

I was on ZhaoBlast v1. So simply wiped cache, formatted the partitions exactly as suggested. Applied the ZIP. Once done applied the Fix pack.

CWM gave me a message that ROOT permission might have been revoked. Fix it? I allowed CWM to fix it and Root was working fine.

Pros:

1. Better Display

2. Better Quality Sound and Loud too. In the previous version I used to keep my Walkman 2 step below maximum. Now I am getting same sound from 4 step below the maximum volume.

Cons:

1. In market, many simple apps like Opera Mobile, Google Finance, gpsfix are saying my device is not compatible.

2. TouchWiz crashed a few times. Xperia Launcher never used to crash.

3. Most irritating thing and I am not sure if anyone else is encountering this and is happening quite frequently (not always). I am pressing the WLAN/Brightness/GPS button either from Status Bar or the Power Control Widget, and nothing is happening. After reboot I am finding GPS/WLAN turned on.

Dont get me wrong, I really appreciate the effort you have invested towards this update, but I am forced to go back to your previous ROM :(

Let's see if some more people install this version and come up with similar issues. Then we might expect a quicker fix.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
Thanks for your review i try to fix it soon as possible........ :)

Hardy

Sorry i try to make same fa D910a using STOCK v7 D910a as a base ROM but latter m not making any promises sorry :(

Thanks

Hardy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shivam Bhalla:
Each and every word of above review is quite acceptable because even am dealing all above problem mentioned but as always ur hard work is appreciable. Plz try to fix this toggle problem n market apps non compatibility thanks a lot for cooking such rom for us.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shivam Bhalla:
Hey i think there is problem with fix given by you actualy i re-flashed your rom and didnt flashed that fix given by you ; and after rebooting to system i saw apps header problem so i removed build.prop lcd density line and now everything work so smooth n smashingly good with this s4 launcher and one thing more i use lmt keys instead of inbuilt keys to get full screen view thus i didnt got any apo header prob. Well i think there is some prob. In few lines of build.prop given in your fix zip file. Well now am enjoying your rom and since i hav installed its 8hr on normal usage battery backup is immensely improved its 76% rite now before it usualy was at 50% on same usage. Good Rom keep it up with your work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klim007:
have you a original firmware of a90s? version for SPFT thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shivam Bhalla:
I have original firmware but its ICS ,JB is only released by Blu. So unfortunately we have flash Blu firmware to use JB in our device.
