Clearly this is a picture of an HTC Phone which we do not have have but you get the idea :silly:

Overview

This is another Chinese firmware called 'Color OS' and generally ships on Oppo devices. It is not a "slight mod" but is more of a complete ROM similar to MIUI / Lewa and it has it's own unique feel.

Bugs

There are a few of em' as this is an Alpha build, but all in all most things work. You will experience some Chinese language in Apps but I cannot do anything about that.

At this point I am inly interested in fixing system-related bugs. I cannot support Facebook (or whatever App you use) FC'ing at this time. Sorry

Downloads

Download the ROM, Gapps for 4.2.2, and the loki-doki patch here: http://goo.im/devs/Thrive/jflteatt/ROMs/ColorOS

DOWNLOAD MIRROR

Please use this thread as a bug tracker. I will get to them as quickly as I can. (Remember, only system-related bugs will be supported at this time. I will do the best I can at that)

Instructions for Use

1. Download the ROM, Gapps, and loki-doki patch from one of the links above

2. Copy those 3 files to your internal or external SD Card

3. Reboot into recovery and perform a nandroid backup (or your backup of choice)

4. In recovery, wipe data (perform a full wipe)

5. Browse to where you saved the files and Install the ROM

6. When it is done flashing immediately flash the loki-doki.zip patch

7. Reboot your phone

8. Once you get your phone settles in a little bit and you've played with the magnificence that is ColorOS, reboot into recovery one more time and flash the 4.2.2 Gapps

9. Please comment here and make note of serious bugs. I am aware and working on a few of them

Thanks

Well, I dont know what I did to get thru the setup screens but i did.:victory: Looks nice and smooth so far.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hidea:
[MENTION=3452732]timmytim[/MENTION] you've been busy! I was going to get the Find 5 until the Find 7 comes out; but I guess this gives me a chance to test drive the OS!

Thanks for all the work! I think you're one of the few people who are porting Chinese ROMs onto other devices! By the way, what's the version on this ColorOS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Thanks for the kind words! I love Miui especially but thought thast this ROM was pretty cool. I ported (if you want to call it that) it from the SGH-i9505 for myself and [MENTION=4963813]Tquetski[/MENTION] said that I could port it to our device, which again is a simple port. Glad you like it!

1.0.7i beta is the base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Yea I got through it somehow as well but I have no idea what steps I took to do it either :victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] noremac258:
Edit: nvm :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] noremac258:
-Camera works just no 13mp

-The Sony keyboard crashes oppo apps

I didn't have much time to play around last night so I'll reflash tonight.

Can't wait for this to become fully translated then I can use as my daily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
I'm about to check this out. Out of curiosity why are all the Chinese ROMs stuck on 4.2.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
I honestly have no idea. Even weirder than that is they are currently beta testing ColorOS 2.0 which looks better and has a lot of upgrades but it runs on 4.3. I dont get it!! Skip the JB versions and go with KitKat like Miui v6 is doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
This ROM was sweet by the way. Really elegant and bright. Trumps miui in my opinion. If we could only get it in 100% English that would be my runner
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Was wondering is there a way to force it into English in ten settings like on most of our Roms you can choose the a forced language somewhere
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] thanhngo:
I install super user from playstore after flash this rom but I said needed to update...then I press normal and it immediately

say fail to installed ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
I am going to pre-root the ROM and re-upload it. Sorry about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
I really want to port Flyme OS!! It looks sweet but Im short on time these days supporting other projects. I will try to port it this week. Check it out here:

yaaa I hope u have time for it :-bd really want to try it out !!!! :good:

I watch a video about this Color OS for Galaxy s4 I don't know which one but it had the TW camera installed ! really want to know if there anyway u can get it install for this rom ? thanks you a lot :good:

Edit: just look it up and it was the one for the I9500
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Yeah it looks alright. To be honest though color os was really really nice. And did you see my ? In the miui thread about if it's possible to get lte integrated into these Chinese roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Did you select the ATT LTE APN from your APN list? I could swear it supported LTE but I could be wrong. To answer your question though it would be impossible to integrate it if it does not support it.

Set the APN to LTE and reboot then install Speed Test from the Playstore and what kind of up/down speeds you get. The icon in the status bar will not say LTE. I believe that is what the H+ is.

You could always set it manually like this too if it isnt set after choosing that APN:

Go To Dialer - put in *#*#4636#*#*

Go To Phone info

Set Preferred Network to: LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Just uploaded version 2 Alpha......

I took out that Chinese dialog popup box and removed the ColorOS Chinese setup and keyboard. I added Gapps and SuperSU

You will still some force closes during Google setup and also when typing in the native SMS App. I'm still debugging.

Have fun!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] GuestX0019:
I flashed v2 and liked what I saw--good job Tim--:)

Only issue was I couldn't get root with Titanium. I didn't check thru other apps to confirm root. So, not sure it wasn't TB. Will retry maybe tomorrow or wait for next version. Didn't test too long tonite, but Gmail setup ok and Wifi/Data fine--

Clean install

TWRP 2.5.0.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
If I remember correctly you have to enable root somewhere in the security settings. Or security app that comes with the Chinese roms like this and miui
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Thanks, I think I remember reading that--will look into it when I reflash--:)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] The French Tickl3r:
hi timmytim,

pretty damn cool, ty for your work. i love the record player.

one question though, does this absolutely need to be loki'd? my device is the i337m, with cwm 6.0.4.3 and is currently on CM10.2

A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Thank you for the kind words. You're welcome. yes, the record player is really nice. I think it looks better that the Miui Music app personally. I love how the album art spins around the middle of the record.

You only need to loki the i337 from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chibixzero:
I installed this last night, but txt force closed on me every time. Also the music player doesn't recognize my music on the external. But other than very good potentially rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 7STANG:
Cool, its fun trying out some of these alternatives. Colors and MIUI run really smooth! Thanks for your hard work!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kylecore:
FINALLY!

I'm so pumped for this.

Will defs flash it today :D

Got it flashed, Root not working either. Looked in security not finding anything in regards to ROOT

Will look again on my lunch. Everything seems to be running very well though!

Thank you again, I've been waiting for months to try this rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
If you go to settings and then storage does it see your external sd-card? I dont have it flashed ATM else I'd check
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kylecore:
External storage does not show up there in setting storage, thus unable to find any of my music.

Root also not working, manually flashed SU 1.93 in recovery and also does not work.

In regards to Root, it does not appear to be included in the rom. I've noticed most Asian roms (like MIUI) have actually security apps for root but i was unable to find one in this rom. Further more there is also no setting under the security section in the settings to enable root.

The only thing i can think of is that you did include but its enable/disabled in a section called "User Settings" within the settings however this does not open anything so i'm still at a loss for where root is?

Was running V2, very smooth, almost no issues except for the ones listed above.

Flashed back to my old rom until root is fixed and external storage so i have music and can restore my apps.

Will keep an eye on this though, really excited to run this rom once those bugs are corrected! :D

Also you may want to update the thread title/OP as it does run on Canadian variants because you kept the kernel un-loki'd so and please continue to keep it like this!

Flash instructions :

Canadian

1. Wipe (system/cache/dalvik/data).

2. Add Rom to flash list first

3. Add gapps as second zip

4. Ignore loki doki

5. Flash.

6 Reboot

7 PROFIT??!!?

AT&T

1. Wipe (system/cache/dalvik/data).

2. Add Rom to flash list first

3. Add gapps as second zip

4. Add loki doki zip as third file

5. Flash.

6 Reboot

7 PROFIT??!!?

Thanks a lot for your work. Installed the and loved it. After playing with it for a while I had to uninstall cus of no SD support. I'll keep an eye on up coming updates. But good work. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Thanks for letting me know I will look into this and report back. :good:

[MENTION=3452732]timmytim[/MENTION] Thanks for this nice rom.but i have trouble rooting this one i try to flash super su on recovery several times but no luck. can you post a step by step on how to root this rom?

. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fedef12evo:
for those that have root issues, open supersu and untick follow root cyanogenmod rule
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cedie07:
Thanks buddy it's working now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Gonna play with this again--didn't see away to sort the app drawer apps alphabetically--:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Nice! There is a way to do it but I dont know how. I read about it somewhere and I cannot remember where, lol. I'll try to find it for ya.

Found it:

However I have no Home under General--:confused:

Ditto
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Got everything set up on rom. Homescreen set up is easy on this rom even without being able to alphabetize app drawer. Currently all is working--well "all" as far as what I use on roms--

I am off tomorrow so don't need my daily and will test for a day--:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mr_V1KaD3N:
This rom lookd fantastic, runs smooth and is going well, I can't get sms to work with anything though. I'm quite interested in the rom though. I'll be keeping an eye out on this for the days to come. Good job. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
No issues today. I don't use sms/mms though. Home Screens are a little choppy when scrolling thru them. But smooth out the longer phone screen is on. Data and wifi work fine as well as all apps I use. Including Hangouts. Not excited about calendar though, just not the best UI for me. And data icons little hard to read in top left of screen. Would like to colorize status bar, but haven't looked into that option.

This is a very nice rom, good work Tim. I could use this as a daily which says a lot for an Alpha--:good:

NO FC's :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Thank you! I am working on the SMS issue. Has anyone tried using an aftermarket SMS App from the Playstore? Not askin you to switch, just curious as I dont have the ROM installed at the moment
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Thanks man, I really appreciate the kind words!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Adizzzle:
[MENTION=3452732]timmytim[/MENTION] Just wondering what you used for a Base ROM

to make this port work, as I am trying to make my own

ColorOS Port and haven't had much luck so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
I use CM 10.1.3 for my 4.2.2 ports. Here is a little guide that my buddy [MENTION=4963813]Tquetski[/MENTION] wrote to get you going: http://en.miui.com/thread-18061-1-1.html
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Adizzzle:
haha go figure [MENTION=4963813]Tquetski[/MENTION] is actually helping me build a

CM 10.1.3 build for the jfltecan as my computer isn't

able to set up a proper build environment due to limitations..

:good::cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Yea he is awesome. Has helped me a lot. This guide wont work if you're try to port ColorOS 2.0 (It's not a public beta but you can find it if you search for it. Hint - it's on a Chinese site so use Google Chrome Browser so it translates the page to English) I've tried porting it and haven't been able to get it to boot yet but I'll work on it some more this weekend. No Promises though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Adizzzle:
Go figure again, I already tried porting ColorOS 2.0 and

it didn't boot at all, been working on it for a little while now

so if I make any progress I'll definitely keep you posted.

And yeah he is definitely a great deal of help.

Very generous person indeed!

:cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] e0mandaniel:
Awesome Rom.

I have everything working except camera.

Idk if its just me but camera fc everytime i try to use it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
My camera works fine--video too

Didn't test all features or analyze quality--I don't use it much

But, no FC's

Not sure if you could try another one from Play. Funny, I don't see Camera in my apps list on phone or TB--:confused: Was going to suggest to clear data/cache.

Did you clean install wiping System also. Can you wipe data/cache in recovery and fix permissions--

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

EDIT: I looked on Color OS site/forum--does anyone have a way of colorizing status bar icons--it is "Color" OS btw--;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chris V:
Nice work here. Everything working on fine. SMS working fine. The camera widget is very cool on this. Still playing around with it. Will report more later. Can't get root tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Open superSU and it's Settings and uncheck Respect CM Root Settings

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Joeyxc:
still force close on message and tapatalk app, apps like kik work fine. I tried hangouts for sms but still force close
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mr_V1KaD3N:
I tried Textra and Go SMS. But it was still force closing. Sorry I'm late on replying. I've been out and haven't checked my phone much. But I have tried others. Like I said. This ROM looks promising. So I'm still keeping tabs when I can :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cedie07:
Messaging works fine here.almost everythings work fine only headset dos'nt is there a fix for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
Hey all, im working on the SMS issue as well as a newer port. It's not booting at the moment so Im making some changes to it. I'll keep you posted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Good catch--my headset doesn't work either--rarely use it, so missed that--Bluetooth to my BlueAnt works great--:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] The French Tickl3r:
tried it out this morning, must say this is great work. i definitely like it better than miui

as of yet the only bug i found is that when i take a picture the camera becomes unresponsive and gets stuck on the image that i just took

is there a way to disable the crt off animation ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cedie07:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cedie07:
Is there any news about this Rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Since it is 4.2.2 may not always be busy but one of my favorites
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cedie07:
Me too! I used this as my daily driver even though the headset is not working. I just hope that the developer will continue this project and not abandoned just like other Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Adizzzle:
It'll be an ongoing project for sure.

ColorOS is fairly new despite being 4.2.2

Still haven't made the leap to try this yet,

wanna get my own version of this booting

before I start tinkering away, but I need an

MIUI with SELinux removed.

Damn it sucks having an old Windows comp..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
You need a Daughter-In-Law that gives you her older iMac when your laptop crashes--;) Never thought i would like an Apple--but I do--:)

Yes, even if 4.2.2 this is very nice rom and Color OS does have a strong community. Everyone should give it try--:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sileniusmike:
Is there a mirror to v2? Goo.im is painfully slow. I'm not waiting 4 hours to download a file thats only 444MB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
I never use Goo--but, DL links are on OP--:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
you can use a CM 10.1.3 ROM with SELinux removed also. That's what me and my (missing?) buddy [MENTION=4963813]Tquetski[/MENTION] were working on but he is MIA.

Just need to compile a CM build without SELinux.

If youre gonna go through the trouble with that though just compile a CM 10.2 (4.3) and port ColorOS 2.0. It's beta right now but I know a guy who knows a guy that can get you the ROM ;) (technically it's already on the web, lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
So I actually came into the thread to give ya'll a quick update but then I saw your question and figured I would reply to it :D

I haven't stopped trying to port a newer version of the ROM but I am having a major pain of a time getting it to boot because of SElinux on (basically) all 4.2.2 / 4.3 ROMs. I was working with another dude on here to compile a CM 10.1.3 build without it but he has up and vanished (or just really busy).

I am going to merge the CM 10.3 source this weekend with my Linux box but I dont know how to remove SELinux so I gotz ta read up about it but I do know how to compile a ROM from source so that's what Im gonna do if I dont hear back from him soon.

As far as the existing v2 ROM, I tried debugging the ext-sdcard and SMS app FC but didnt get too far after a few hours of reading and research logcat errors. I essentially gave up on it since we're porting the newer version.

As I type this I am setting up my Ubuntu to begin merging source so that I can compile me a 4.3 ROM without SELinux.

Fear not, I will get a booting ColorOS Rom whether it be 1.0.8i or 2.0 :good:

**Edit** - This post is officially my 1000'th post...... I remember first joining XDA like it was yesterday
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :

I'm around I've been binging on drugs I'm sorry; I'll try to get a base for this sorted out tonite.

JFLTEATT is so sordid I can't seem to find completed sources for 4.2 so I guess we could crank out some 4.3s and attempt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] timmytim:
