You mean Live wallpapers? They're selectable in aroma during custom installation, but you can flash this to add them:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3u54gnkwtee6oup/Live_wallpapers_gamma_v1.4.zip

Both OTA and direct download link in OP are the same zip and perform a full wipe, so there's no difference, you'll lose your installed apps anyways. No way to flash without wipes, it's embedded inside installation script. In gamma v1.5 I'll introduce an esperimental incremental upgrade feature so that people coming from v1.4 may upgrade with no wipe at all. It's gonna be totally automatic and managed by a series of scripts that will customize installation.

Yes, [MENTION=1658026]natoilva[/MENTION] sent me 1123 rom yesterday. Kernel it's not compatible with old rom, so I cannot use that for now. Gamma v1.5 will be the last of v1.x series, then I'll took a new stock base and port there all stuff. That's a really long and boring work, especially adding translations each time is a pain :eek: Latest stock has a wider multilanguage support than 0722, but not as wide as Gamma v1.4 (33 languages vs 52) so it's still a necessary work.

Anyways I'll start working on it once released gamma v1.5, hope Iocean releases final version of 1123 in the meanwhile so that I can base mine on a stable rom instead of a beta. ;)

I just installed v1.4..aroma installer cool..also custom install options very good thing..need more testing.. first impressions sd card read tweak not applied ? for internal storage read 70mb/s that was 170mb/s on me.. just added sd read tweaks.. supercharger script not used this time ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
v1.0-v1.1-v1.2 are all 100% supercharged. v1.3 and v1.4 have both a different configuration than previows which I find more performing. Anyways this sort of things is always a work-in-progress, as I find a better configuration, that'll be included. Sd-card tweak by defualt is inside the script you're talking about, I'm still checking whether to implement it separately or inside that script (or not implementing at all, it depends).

i try change gps config, but show message "file could not saved"

any help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eror3:
problem

Hey, I was installing v1.4, I´ve done all wipes like always, install the ROM via Aroma... then try to reboot and CWM asked me if I want fix root so I fix it, phone reboot and stuck at iocean x7 logo

now I cant get to recovery, any suggestions?? :confused:

EDIT: with MTK Droid Tools I was able to get into CWM, reinstall package and now it works fine! :victory:

EDIT 2: I have X7 Youth, and keys backlight never work for me :confused::confused: do you have any idea why ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Which file manager are you using? You need to mount /system folders as r/w (it's among file manager settings depending on which one you're using). Gammarom embedded CyanogenMod File manager works pretty good for this sort of things and almost never fails to write files.

If you already mounted folders as r/w and still not working, you can try to change gps.conf permissions to rw-rw-rw-, edit file, save and set permissions again to rw-r--r--.

Well, "lights on" command already does the software part. If still not working, it's an hardware limit: only first released Ioceans have leds, your probably is among the ones that do not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
thank you sambaaa with astro file manager can not replace gps config,but the problem solved with a root file manager.

after change gps config,with sygic works perfect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eror3:
I see, today I noticed that my carier signal crashes a lot... for a while its fine, then disappear and its happening over and over... I have no problems with that on previous cyanogen rom :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
which script has sd tweak and cache value?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EsPeHil:
Thank you for you great work Sambaaa.

This iOcean sure is great value for the money. Kicks even my old Gnex in the dirt as far as performance goes. :eek::D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jimmys01:
Any new stuff on the horizon Samba? What are you up to?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Try to delete 3g turbocharger entries in /system/build.prop file, they're at the end of the file. It should work

Main supercharger script has sdcard tweak embedded inside, in case it's enabled.

Ahah my goal is to bring Iocean x7 above Nexus 5 :cool: :D

v1.5 is about to be realeased! I'm considering what to include in this version and what may require more tests. Against to what I wrote before, it'll require more time than expected. There are still many troubles to solve, I just spent 3 hours working on it with no luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
Hi Sambaaa

compared x7 elite with old my mobile device HTC DesireHD,iocean has no bright pictures in dark environment.The device has impossible iflash light?

I also want to ask you what method of increasing the gps antenna. you can give an address on you tube or make a description;

thank you for perfect gamma rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] natoilva:
hi samba

this version have the green cam fixed?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
hi sambaaa thanks for new gamma 1,5.

i upgrade from Gamma v1.4 but works only front camera.

can you fix this problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eror3:
thanks it help me a bit, but unfortunately sometimes signal disappear anyway as you can see :-/

probably at friday I will try to change my sim card for the new one from Orange and keep you posted
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
No, that's something that depends on stock base. I'll take a new base from v2.0 onwards, but it requires time and work.

Well, the main reason why I release a new version is to improve real life performances (not Antutu), so it behaves definetely better! v1.3-v1.4-v1.5 all look the same and share almost the same apps and features, but each version further improve smoothness, response speed and so on with respect to the previows. This kinda improvement cannot be measured anyhow (Antutu may even decrease, it depends), but you'll perceive them.

It's easy to fix, but would be useful to understand how it happened. Did you select the right model? Did installer prompt the right model during installation? Anyways flash this zip and reflash rom selecting incremental upgrade:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nd5qtwj36w5t3qz/camera_fix.zip

Be careful to select the right iocean model when prompted, because by default this zip will let installer think you got X7 Youth.

Try to play a bit with engineering mode. Go into settings>engineering mode>try to do a few tests enabling and disabling bands that your operator doesn't use for example.

V1.5 rom has a different (the latest released) baseband if you want to give it a try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
thank you reinstall with right model ,camera problem solved!:crying:

this rom otg support?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Yes I've read that post some weeks ago when it has been posted in CM for mtk thread. For sure Mtk devices will receive kitkat update in the future, but it's nowhere specified which chipset will receive it (mtk octa core is probably gonna be the first, but may also at the same time be the last). There's nothing we can do, but wait. IMHO sooner or later we'll be able to see kitkat on our x7 too, probably through a buggy port from another mt6589.

Sure, I didn't point it out because it's already a feature of stock 0722 I took as a base ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 2alive:
Another great rom, thanks, so far all ok.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mikej0h:
It's a great rom (1.5) and works quite well.

The only thing I'm experiencing is in the messaging application that while typing a message it often goes back to the main screen (home), often (when typing large messages) multiple times.

Not sure if it's related to the keyboard or the messaging application.

Does anybody experience the same issue? Or is there perhaps a fix for it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
in my device flashed gamma rom 1,5,messaging app works without problems

.all works fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AlmightySleepers:
Sorry guys,

just a quick question before i downloaded and flashed the rom

Do this rom partition can make the full use of the 32GB rom available?

I mean like make a single flash rom with 32GB size rather than 2 partition with predefined amount on each.

Or it just like the meteos that currently make use 16GB to 8 & 8

speaker switch

Helo, yesterday when i uptaded to 1.5 version the speaker does not make sound, insted the earspeaker thing is making the sound, the music comes from there, help please

Edit: I found the problem, It was the Viper4Android app, I unistall it and then the problem was solved
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Never happened to me, have you experienced such issues with previows gamma versions? Anyone else with similar issues?

There are different procedures to repartition internal storage, but at the end they all do the same thing so there's no difference in doing it through Gamma installer, Meteos, Flashtool, ...

I explained here in details how sdcard get repartitioned. Since both /system and /data are both placed in your sdcard, there's no way to use the whole internal storage for music, videos, ... You always need to use part of it for system, apps and their datas. Through repartition you can choose how much space to assign to /data (/system is already set), if you have an x7 Elite you can choose 1.5, 2.5, 2.7 and 7GB /data partition.

Would you like to assign the whole 32GB to /data+/system or do the opposite (leave 32GB free for use)? The latter cannot be done anyhow, the first is possible, in theory, but I've never found a 32GB repartition EBR file around (7GB is already huge).

If you mean to remove partitions and place system files, data files and music all in the same 32GB partition, no that's not what installer does.

Good, was it any Viper setting you made or Viper itself?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AlmightySleepers:
Thank you for your brief explanation sambaaa,,

What i want is just like a single partition using the whole 32GB for the system

or 2 partition with system 16 to 20 Gb and 16 to 12 Gb for the music.

which one is possible using aroma repartition?

Because what i heard and read before using meteos you can only get around 7GB for system for both 16GB and 32GB internal memory.

Hi Sambaaa,

Googleplay automatically updated the SuperSU to version 1.85 today..And when I try to access SUperSU app it says there's no SU Binaries installed ..and my other apps that requires root status cannot be used ( eg UncleMobile)

Tried to update via SuperSU app but it comes up as "installation Failed"

Any advise on how to resolve this isuue to get back root status ?

Thanks again Sambaaa for your help :)

Viper App

Viper itself

, I never made anything with viper because I don't have certain that I can use it correctly :p

That's the reason that lead me to uninstall it and see if there was some kind of bug in the APP.

Now, do you think I would have problems if I try to install it again? after all, that is like one of the apps that came with your awesome rom, and because of that, I think it makes sense to be there xD

What do you think?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brianforever:
Thanks natoilva :) It works !!

But strange that Root Checker states that its already rooted...but I listened to your advise and went ahead & rooted it again ....and voila everything works again :)

Thanks Mate :)

Upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 didnt work! i selected incremental upgrade and selected custom install also selected CM boot animation but it didnt install that too.. my /Data formatted during the install...something wrong.. can send logs if u need..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
No one of the two is possible through aroma. The first in particular (32 GB not repartitioned with inside system, data, music and so on) would really mess up the whole system. By default in Linux/Android you need special permissions to access system files. For example you'd need to run Camera app as root to take pictures if you want to save them in a theorical system-data-files partition. You'd put into confusion the whole Android system because it was designed to work in a different way (with separate partitions).

The second (16 GB /data partition) would be possible instead, but needs proper ebr files to be done and I've never seen them anywhere. They could be even created through specific procedures, but I've never given it a look.

Anyways 7GB /data partition is already huge! ;) It should be big enough for around 500-1000 apps! Did you manage to run out of space?

Sure, give it a second chance! :) Viper is a really magical sound mod, a bit long to be configured properly, but with great power. It should be totally uneffective until you install drivers and reboot (and configure it). Check Viper official thread I linked in post #1 credits for a detailed guide and IRSs in post #2. ;)

Sure, if you have it ready to be shared that's welcome, but in this case that's probably not gonna tell me much (it'll describe what it did, but I'd need to know "who/what" told it to behave that way). I personally noticed that installer gets into confusion as you press "back" button, have you?

Yes i clicked back button 1 time to confirm my choice..thats it.. i also selected CM bootanim but it doesnt install.. so people who think upgrade from 1.4 do not click CUSTOM and BACK button

GammaRom Project

GammaRom Project​

@ALL Considering GammaRom got many positive feedbacks, I'm planning to

extend GammaRom compatibility to new MTK6589 devices

in the future.

If someone of you is interested in trying this rom on a mtk6589 device different from Iocean x7, can

contact me here or through PM

. I've already prepared an Umi X2 version of GammaRom, not yet released (I'm waiting for feedbacks from one guy who owns Umi since I cannot test it). Of course each new version of the rom requires work and time, so I'd rather extend GammaRom compatibility to pretty common devices (THL, Zopo, Jiayu, Umi, Cubot, ...) rather than unknown brands with very little amounts of users. :)

For what concerns Iocean x7 owners, don't worry, GammaRom for Iocean x7 can only take advantage from this! ;) For example, while working on Umi's rom I found new translations that will be merged inside GammRom v2.0 and will extend compatibility up to 58 languages from now on. Anyways v2.0 will be out in a few days, it's main goal will be to upgrade to latest 1123 Elite's stock rom and solve green cam issue on a few Elite's models. I'll probably set differently a few things too in order to slightly increase available free ram :good:

Actually custom installation should be working fine, just back button may confuse installer in case of incremental upgrade

Which gapps problem? For what concerns systemUI fc, try to disable all xposed modules enabled (gravitybox included) from xposed app. In case nothing works, my advice is to install rom again with full wipe

:highfive:

Dear sammba

I have favorites notification sound on your Rom (v.1.3) but in v.1.4 and v 1.5 those sound was gone? I mean sound like Chinese guitar (i dont know the name because that file using chinese font) etc.

Can you give me the flashable for that? Thank you..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jimmys01:
Happy Holidays!!

i am about to start a new app on the android but i cannot seem to get the drivers to work

I have USB debbug enabled and in my divice manager it shows a "AVEO X7" device.

do you have the drivers for the adb?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Happy holidays to all of you! :D

Is it something new of v1.5 or did it happen before too? Because actually v1.3-v1.4-v1.5 has only difference in tweaks, but this sort of things should be uneffected.

I would give you a flashable zip, the problem is that notification sounds of gammarom have been unchanged from v1.0 to v1.5. I didn't delete nor add any notification sound or ringtone, they're exactly the same. No one of gamma notifications is using chinese fonts though, may that be a file that you had in your sdcard and accidentally delete? :confused:

Hi and happy holidays ;) I use linux and getting adb to work with x7 didn't require any particular procedure for me. You may try with these windows drivers, but I've no idea whether they're compatible with our phone or not:

http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver

What does it prompt when you type in terminal "adb devices" for example? When I have connection issues I usually type something like this:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

gamma rom v2.0

will we see v2.0 this year ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brigo:
Hi samba,

Do you know how to block hardware button cause of touch buttons on the screen are activated

I'm on gamma rom v1.0 and i've download v1.5 but in aroma installer when i get 7gb internal storage he says me that i don't have 1.2 gamma rom.. SO 1.5 not installed :( What to do ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Not sure yet, but I'll try to release it this year.

;)

Sorry, but I didn't get the first part of the question... For what concerns the second part, it says "gamma v1.2 has not been installed", but should say "gamma v1.5 has not been installed", I forgot to edit that part of updater script, but it doesn't make any difference: when you decide to repartition, you just repartition your previows installed rom, nothing more. To install gamma v1.5 you need to reflash zip again and choose "do nothing" instead of "repartition". See installation guide in post #1 for a detailed how-to-install guide;)

Nice rom again ! But my wifi sign + signal in the statusbar is white so i cant see if he is downloading or uploading, can i change the colour back to blue ?

Edit: found to change the colors of the Wi-Fi + network signal bars but I can't see the little triangles within the bars although I set them to white
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
As voetbalremco said, people in mtk are pretty busy right now with the release of many new octa core SoCs. IMHO in the future Mediatek may also consider the idea of upgrading both octa and quad core to Kitkat , but I'm probably just dreaming, I sincerely don't know. :rolleyes:

Well yes, for what concerns theming everything could be done pretty easily, the problem is to find a configuration that most of users like! That's why I tend to keep user interface pretty similar to stock. I wasn't particularly convinced to give this kitkat look neither, but I thought many of you were bored of JB look, so.... I initially themed with a KitKat style Settings app too, but then I didn't like it and put it back to coloured stock look. It looked this way:

Nice to hear that! :highfive:

Ok, I think I fixed this, flash attached zip above v2.0 and let me know ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] diederikmo:
I went in recovery and flashed the zip file but no luck, still no little triangles. But otherwise the Rom is great, thnx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nggies:
if only to see connection you can used GravityBox. In this application you can select statusbar tweaks/data traffic monitor/on/off and then you can see byte count on left screen..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Mmh then we're maybe talking about different triangles... I'm referring to the ones you can see in wifi bars in the picture below (the same stands for 3G signal bars):

They were white above white before that patch, now they're grey above white which I guess is the right colour :D

PS just to point it out, that Chrome's icon in the corner is actually Dolphin Browser which I find much better performing than Chrome (on android)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kyleongwl:
this 2.0 feels superb smooth.

some qn

1) Uses Xperia launcher...is normal that the "wallpaper" is not full screen?

2) The signal bar is white..could change to 1.5 colors?

Edit. uses Gravitybox for item 2
