What charger mumbo jumbo? I installed gravitybox and now am stuck at 'Alcatel onetouch' & 'smart move' logo. Can you explain what to do? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Seen the post from member acca. Doesn't work for me, it won't boot in recovery. Is there any other way to resolve this?

Edit2: Problem solved with disabling xposed.

The rom is very far from stable and there are many problems to solve.

Camera, glitches and slowlines are some points in the latest beta 4.

So for sure not a public one.

How did you disable Xposed when you couldn't reboot to recovery? The charger trick didn't work for me in the first place, I even wanted to disassemble the phone to remove the battery, but after 10+ attempts it worked. Then I mended to reboot to stock recovery (didn't have custom one installed) and had to do a factory reset.

During the boot-up press any hard-button once. If it vibrates, press it five more times till a long vibration. Then xposed is disabled.

I Formated my Phone using SP Flash Tool

Okay so this is how i got into this problem:

1-I was stuck on boot when i flashed the 1006.zip ROM that the creator of this thread posted.

2-I could not get into the CWM

3- I tried to use MTK Droid Tools but it did not scan my phone

4-I then used SP Flash Tool to flash the recovery but that did not work so i still could not get manual nor with a PC into the recovery mode

5- Then i did the Format in SP Flash Tool 3.1 as i thought it was the same as factory reset (I think i was wrong)

6-Now it wont even boot.

Please help if you can , i hope i dont have to carry it to the nearby service for them to fix it :(

I installed last beta rom, but no root nor google apps, tried to get root using Kingo ROOT and VRoot but no luck!

Edit: wtf, camera still record in 3gp in kitkat too!! need a mod to mp4 plz...

volume rocker doesn't wake phone anymore! they removed a feature!

can't test much else since no google apps installed or root gettable = no apps restored via titanium backup or even contacts to sync.

any help from dev?

Edit2: I remember SP Flash not working even after disable driver signature on win 8.1 and installing MTK6589 Driver!

THE workaround is to click download then connect usb while phone tuned off...

Could anybody tell me if the latest Kitkat Beta is stable enough for being used as a daily driver? What works? What doesnt work?
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Migonja:
The Latest kitkat open beta is rootable XD

The beta kitkat

is rootable and has a custom recovery.

Needed:

twrp recovery: View attachment 2953063

the kitkat rom: https://yadi.sk/d/IxZoC-YZbgE7t

the zip for rooting: download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1

How to:

you can flash the kitkat rom and the twrp recovery at the same time using spflashtools ( tutorial on how to flash http://androidxda.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool**** or use the first post )

**** if you use this tutorial you need to unmark PRELOADER and MOBILE_INFO (Warning, it´s dangerous to flash those files. Be sure unmark them) and for me i had to manually select CUSTPACK (click on the "CUSTPACK" text and use the window to navigate to the custpack.img in the kitkat rom) .If you want you can flash the twrp recovery (click on the "RECOVERY" text and use the window to navigate to the View attachment 2953063 you've downloaded earlier) btw you will be replacing the stock one with twrp so do this wile in sptool

and plz dont forget to remove extension *.txt from files EBR1, EBR2 and MBR in the kitkat beta or you wont be abel to flash.

if you are successful in flashing then you can root the device by placing the SuperSU zip in the internal storage and rebooting into recovery via adb http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853159 and that is it XD

the google play store isn't installed and i dont know how to instal it i can flash it via twrp but it wont open and the google account cant be added i don't know why

i have tested this on the 6040D and it works XD i nije me briga ako sjebete fon nisam odgovoran bla bla(use google translate serbian)
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] elyts:
What are your first impressions? Are there any major bugs?

For the play store, take a look at this: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=596944&st=180#entry34202685 (use google translate). Maybe this works.
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Migonja:

well the lock screen isnt safe at all (the keyboard leaks through and sometimes it doesnt lock), the status bar notification colors arent visible and some text cant be read, not everything is themed in there "white" theme something is in the aosp "black" but the rom is stable

xposed works but gets bootlop if you run gravityBox and minminguard the rest works

In flash tools you're using an scatter file to flash files to you're phone, when you're using the wrong one the file (recovery for you) will be flashed to a wrong partition.

I used SP Flash Tool to upgrade my TCL S950 to Kitkat rom downloaded in this thread.

After loading the Kitkat rom scatter file, manually click on the recovery to point it to the path of TWRP recovery you downloaded in the thread too.

Click download and wait for the green ring to appear that indicate completion of flashing.

Upon first boot into phone, copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip to phone.

Reboot into recovery, flash file UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip using TWRP recovery.

Rooting is tested and worked for me.

This is the worst part for me, I had tested more than a dozen of Gapps, all does not work, either it has error message or after flashing, play store is not there.

Lucky, I came upon this site, xxx.needrom.com/download/gapps-slimroms, download the GApps Slimroms-4.4.2, only this GAPPS works after tested more than

I just want to report that I am currently running Xposed 2.6.1 on my 6040d without any bootloop.

How I got there:

- from Xposed Installer I performed the installation of version 2.3.1

- kept using version 2.3.1 for few days

- upgraded to version 2.6.1 (from Xposed installer) and, surprisingly, no bootloop

I have 2.6.1 running since more than a month without problems, I cannot tell you why it is not bootloping on my device, but that's what I did....

Therefore if you feel adventurous and know how to recover from bootloops, maybe you can try installing 2.3.1 first and then update to 2.6.1 to see if it works for you as well.

Note1: DO NOT TRY THIS if you don't know how to get out of possible bootloops !

Note2: I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP you if you get in a bootloop !

I am using the following modules together with 2.6.1:

- Greenefy (2.4.4)

- Unbounce (1.3.2)

I am not using GravityBox module, I cannot comment on this.
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nlooooo:
Ok, I'm using Xposed 2.7.1 without issues, but It's like that only with certain modules. Gravitybox, Xblast and a few others produce bootloop.

I got help from one member how to get out of bootloop:

-Press power button for 10+ seconds to reboot device

-After reboot keep pressing some of hardware buttons (power for instance) until you get one short vibration

-repeat pressing the same button (not holding it) for 4-5 times until you get one long vibration, that's the sign that xposed framework is turned off.
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bryanjay420:
in my experience runnning 4.2.2 installing latest version of xposed will not give you bootloops. installing gravitybox will be :(
