Pardon?What does it mean?Dont u have tested the phone from any aspect?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Please explain what do you mean with "any aspect". If did you nean the reverse engineering of firmware, it's normal business for any release as well as for any build I do but you don't see published, Before to get an RC I flash my device (as any cooker) a lot of works...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Hertz33:
Thank you Sev7en for all your hard work.

I'm still a bit cautious about messing with the Vivo although I have 2+ years changing ROM's and what not on my S2. I'm actually quite happy with how the device works with the original ROM and releaved that I don't have to chase the "perfect" ROM like I did on S2.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fileo:
I just know the latest version is 13.2,i tried to flash it,but it wasn't compatible with the device well，and i dont like the original UI,either.So I have been used your rom,not only the stand-by time but also the performance,which is suitable for me.

My device is 32G
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Hi,

it's a point, a nice point your. Stock roms are good if you have a widely-ciculated phone made by a Big (Samsung, HTC, Apple too) because you can get always updates and fixes but when you have to play with an imported phone, made for a specific market, the scenary is totally different. (of course it's just my 2 cents).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:

Hi, it's me again (what a surprise... ^_^).

Let's start the localization project: download the attached file and edit it with a text editor as UltraEdit for your language then get it (thanks!) back. Of course I will try to add somewhere credits for your job.

Have a nice work!

Error installing other file managers

Hi. First of all, this is a great rom whihc removes all the bloatware from the chinese rom. I've install R20 yesterday without any error. I use cofface to install recovery onto my xplay first.

I tried to install other file managers like "ES file explorer" and even a few other file manager: but all gave me the same error message- I can install it, but when I click on the icon to run the app, there is a error message "Unfortunately, ES File Explorer has stopped."

I tried reinstalling the R20 rom this morning, then try to install ES File manager again. But it gives the same error.

I did not change the default app install location: under system>Preferred install location: its still system space.

Anyone can help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
First page updated...

Hi triggerseven and thanks for your feedback, so did you install these File Manager after the wipe/fresh install or? Can you give you the name of the application aren't working too (the version too).

Cheers,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] triggerseven:
Hi Sev7en. wow quick reply from you.

Es File manager - version 3.0.5.1

Android File manager - version 2.5.8

File Commander - version 2.0.170

another bug I found- the default contacts app has a bug - when I click the app, it will take a very long time to load. there is a pop up windows that says "updating contact..." and it seem to take very long. After it finally loads, when I exit contact and go in again, it again shows the "updating contacts" pop up and takes very long.

To solved it, i just disable contacts using a root uninstaller app. I downloaded exDailer to use and its fine so far.

Once again, thank you for your great work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
We are here for you pleasure...

So I tested before the RIP (amen) ES File Manager and I can assure it works but not AFM as well as FC. Someone can quickly install them for checking? Thanks.

Thank you for reporting as well as for sorting it out. I will take care of that too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] egoadk:
Seven thanks for all your work.

My ES File Manager is also crashing everytime I try to start it.

Did you manage to find a fix for that word wrap or text overflow issue?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Raphi86:
Es file explorer isnt working with stock rom, too... Used it on my HTC One to download Videos from Facebook app
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Let's me say... what a team! :) Thanks to everyone for your outstanding job! Yesterday I devoted my free time to new landed Sony xPeria Z Ultra... as you know when yoy get a new gadget, ehm it looks like an only-way vision eheh ^^

But now... back on our deals.

I have not enabled this feature because it store clearly your sensitive data, password and credits card too to let you digit quickly as predictive input (with a rooted phone you can easily access to its db archive).

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

I have not received the phone, but today I will cook a ROM within these translations.

Hi Sev7en

Is it possible to include Google Apps in your next rom? I tried installed Gapp.zip in cofface recovery, there was no error message during installing. But after install, the phone automatically reboots. when I check, there is no google apps installed at all. I already wipe data,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache before installing Gapps but still the same problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] egoadk:
Hi Seven

I am not referring to google predictive keyboard. But rather why the text are split up into 2 different lines. The whole world should have gone to the next line instead of splitting up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atlantis1976:
This problem have it all, the line of writing divides... sev7en could solve this problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Hi there!

I did some implementations before to get it dead and the gapps cannot be installed as easly as we install an application package, also via recovery but it is maybe related to BBK core UI and it is the reason I tought to make a vanilla release. When I will get the phone I have to try to remove all the BBK reference inside the framework apk then to apply these changes.

I see... did you can test it by using a smaller font size? Just for testing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atlantis1976:
the problem persists even changing the font size... maybe changing dpi is now resolved the problem, but dpi change apps do not work with this firmware
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Hi atlantis,

did you try this too? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] atlantis1976:
Yes, install this app and change the dpi but the problem persists, writing line divides it, may be a firmware problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] darkhelion:
hey good job, I've only see the last pages of post, good translation, indeed it misses the arborday which is a american party and cleaning graves is another ...... but useless for French version
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] egoadk:
Yeah font size change does not seem to affect anything. It seems only UI of Apps are affected, including apps like Reader, Whatsapp, Gmail.

BUT browsing website using Chrome is ok. No issues.

Hi,

Sev7en in the future you will try to bring the cyanogenmod 10,2 (Android 4,3) to this Vivo XPlay?? :laugh:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Hi to everyone, unfortunately the phone has not arrived and next days I will left... I see the issues and... did you try changing the default font not the size? I am packing the vivo-res.apk but as I can't test it directly, I need someone to check it by flashing that archive via recovery.

Completing the build...

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]: Hi,

I got several errors when parsing the files...

Hi sev7en , domloord kernel said that it would be valid for our terminal to install it in the new r25?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Hi to everyone,

I apologize for the delay as well as for the slow update times but without the phone I won't use your as first tester. Unfortunately we haven't a CAT box to recover the phone when bricked as well as there are none local CAT where to send it for repair then it is mandatory to flash at least a valid ROM.

It is the least I can do for your enthusiasm.

So but... what's I am doing now? :) The good news, I am working with all the great XDA community on upcoming Sony xPeria Z Ultra mobile phone and today we did some important achievement as you can see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44424045

I will port all these studies on our Vivo.

Thanks atlantis!

Thank you for reporting, maybe you can do another test: do you can send us your build.prop file? it's stored in /system folder (main memory).

As far as he told me last messages, yes, it should be work but I can't test it now...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Belzebuth68:
Hi !

My vivo is now repaired ! Its quite easy, if your vivo is stuck into a bootloop and you cannot resolve with other solution like restore or wipe do thar :

-Download the package here

-Connect your phone with usb into fastboot voldown and power

-Open cmd in the package

-Use those command :

first : fastboot devices (check the connection)

second : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

third : fastboot reboot

-Now we can use adb sideload and install a new rom
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fileo:
Hello,Seven,the Vivo offical rom version has updated to2.14.5,I haven't flashed it,I saw most of people said that the new version optimized the camera and added a night style of taking photos.Others may not change a lot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Hi to everyone and happy Sunday.

Unfortunately my Vivo has not been delivered and now I am going out to a foreign nation for working... I will back within 2 months but I hope to get the phone by my parents. So I am really sorry for the stop of our awesome work... really but without the phone I won't use you as kamikaze-tester due to CAT missing station.

Hi Belzebuth68,

nice to read "sent from my Vivo" ^_^ and great work but I tought you already tried that way before to write it here (and via Skype). We already spoken about the way to recover the system via Sideload and it is also the reason I suggested to everyone to keep the original recovery. Anyway, great work mate!

Hi fileo,

thank you for reporting, do you have a link? As far as you know they updated the kernel or just the apps?

Cheers,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fileo:
Sorry,the link has been found,the users updated the latest version by ota,the update zip is 36M.By updating,I find the signal is much more better than last version,and the camera which talked above has been promoted.Apps & kernel don't change as i read in the offical forum.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Thank you, but it would be good to the link where they are speaking about it ^_^

Anyway if you wish, you can share that resources by extracting the updated apps and checking by data the libraries are updated too.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fileo:
http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/thread-1043164-1-1.html

One of the user's feedback,what's more,I don't like ota.When I flash the new rom,I also delete these apps seems to me useless.If the zip link is found,I will post it out
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Thank you and great find!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Raphi86:
Here is the update Package. i cant install it, with cwm recovery -.-

Is a full 2.14.5 rom out there?

Shared via uploaded.net - http://ul.to/bwu66b7f
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cekk:
hi there, and hi my friend sev7en, I've also updated to the 2.14.5, they've added night mode in the camera, but not only,they made some important optimization. Imo the system is smoother and the battery lasts longer now, and the consumption is more "regular", there aren't sudden drops of 5% anymore. Anyway, there is still that damn problem of the roaming.... now there is the R over the signal, always.... it seems this phone activates the roaming according to a localization, and not according to the sim card... the problem is without roaming the 3g doesn't work.... it should be interesting to work on this issue and fix it, but I'm afraid it's something related to the baseband and...... ehm..... gonna brick another phone? :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] egoadk:
Any ideas how to upgrade the new version by ota? My phone is rooted. I tried upgrading, and during that recovery 3e page it says installation failed.

thanks but I am nothing, all credits are for our wonderful community and for people like your.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] iorya984:
I think this device has a great customizable launcher.. The best idea (for me) will be to have multilanguage support and Roaming issue solved, but all the rest of the launcher remain the same (without annoying chinese apps, except for iMusic and iVideo that I love it!).

Hope this will be a good suggestion for you!

Thank you sev7en!

Good job!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
I do agree, the built-in laucher is good but it comes with too many "extra"... It would be good to have a basic launcher just the default one without "Scene Desktop" and goodies (lockscreens, static/live wallpapers).

We have also a rock solid audio system... anyway since now, to replies from the MeFei man... Just playing a bit more Chinese to make that easy.

I know it!! Snapea also is used for China MTK devices. It is good.

Sev7en tell me something: the ROM you've posted is FULLY WORKING? I'm downloading from "mega" server.

The question that is a Vanilla ROM it means that is like a Stock Android 4.2? So the Vivo Launcher and other personalizations are gone?

EDIT: the link from mega provider doesn't work for me.. any suggestion? Also mirror and link from sev7en (from uploaded) doesn't work for me..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cekk:
I'm afraid the only way to update via ota is from a stock recovery, so first you'd better flash a stock full package rom,like the 2.12.8 full package, then from there you're gonna receive the 2.14.5 ota immediately
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] egoadk:
Ah have to go back to old stock first. Thanks for the response.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] egoadk:
Question. Anyone has issues trying to disable the stock lock screen? I tried to choose None but it kept going back to slide. I want to install a custom locksreen. LockerPro seems to crash on me whenever I tried to enable accessibility settings.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sev7en:
Hi Cekk,

you are welcome as welcome are your great feedbacks. As far as I see from this update, they fixed the Address book issue for Gmail contacts?

Can you also run an AnTuTu benchmark?

Thank you for the package, the full version has not been released yet.

egoadk, you can ask to get the single updated version, just extracing, e.g., the camera module.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cekk:
As regard the Gmail address book issue, to be honest I haven't tried yet, as I use the stock email client and I have no issues at all, I'm satisfied with it. I have set 3 different email accounts in the stock client and no problems at all in the synchronization. I've obviously installed the google play services from the market before set the play store and the gmail.

About Antutu, I've just run one, and It's 21.500, I've never got a so high score with stock rom, max 22.000 no more. With your rom even more than 24000 wow! There's a lot of trash that nobody's gonna use in the stock rom...

How's your z ultra compared with the xplay? Is it a noticeable difference? And hopefully we are waiting you to get back your Xplay somehow, maybe I can come there for a travel tour and bring it to you? :D

P.S: I almost forgot to say that a bbk moderator suggested me to contact the after sales of Vivo to send me some files for the problem of roaming, hopefully to receive a fully compatible european baseband, and now I've just contacted the after sales service for this, waiting for a reply! keep in touch

PPS: I'd like to add this code in the secret menu: *#*#4636#*#* to check phone info, like signal ecc ecc... and I just found out, but I already knew, my phone is always in roaming, doesn't matter if in the menu is selected or not. This is clearly a big bug, because I am using a sim card of this place. How about your phone? is it always in roaming too, or just mine? (using 2.14.5 update)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] korzh_yura:
Another suggestion for future rom

I also want to ask you to put samsung galaxy note keyboard on xplay, because it have an extra raw of digits on a top, so you dont need to make any change for digits, when you typing it. And it happens very often.

Thanks
