Just installed CM11 v213 from daobange,and i must say its way faster that mf 3.1.3.Everything so far working ok so i will stick to it for now.
[Device Reviews and Information] big dane fyn:
hi alexeei Has run with your CM 12 updated version

thanks seems almost perfect only permanently fault I have is when the phone

is turned off and is connected to the charging light showing the charging

is yellow and very bright
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
Testing by some hours PAC man ROM, a lot of unusefull (for me) chinese apps and some alerts from antivirus, but after a deep clean a good ROM for daily use enough smooth and stable.
[Device Reviews and Information] MCarek:
I´m now testing daobange release 18/02/15, install was fine, I´m using english/chinese recovery by xuefy 6.0.4.9, after install the rom, phone was stuck but after I used the second file boot.zip phone run without problem. I must say it´s very stable rom, smooth (but with some chinese apps - games, baidu etc.) uninstall is no problem, unfortunatelly videos from youtube are with green screen, charging is with green light only (hasz muiu is with red light and fully charge shows green light),wifi hotspot not working, I can see SSID can connect but internet not working, wifi works fine, bluetooth too and mobile data without setting APN point works also fine, I tried antutu and score is about 30000-32000 points. I´m testing it few days more :good:

update: few moments after I finished my post phone freezed and only removing battery helped :)
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
CM11 v213 from daobange works fine with youtube and WiFi hotspot.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I have to remark the stability of PAC man ROM. No issues from yesterday. No blank screens, reboots or freeze. No troubles with YouTube or whatsapp. Good fastness and responsivity. Just the need to remove or freeze some chinese stuff.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
I finally received a CTIA\OMTP adaptor cable I ordered more than 2 months ago from China for about 2€, it works perfectly fine, now I can use again the sony phones bundled with my old Xperia U ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
I use CM11 v213 from daobange,when i record a hd video i have strange sounds like strong interference in playback.Anyone have this problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] MCarek:
Hello, I'm using daobange release v0218 and problem is same, lots of interferences during playback :(
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Hi teomel, I ve just tried pacman rom, and after flashing pa micro gapps I have many soft reboots. Can you advice any other package, if you use any. Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
just using nano linked in the thread about cyanogen 11, never had any reboot. You have to flash gapps zip immediatly after having flashed the rom file, otherwise you will have issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
I want to buy a wired handsfree.I must buy omtp or ctia for the buttons(volume +-,answer button) and mic to work properly?

So the device work with omtp or ctia handsfree?
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Yes, unless you buy a chinese one, I suppose. My sony did't work untill I received the adaptor, now all working fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
OK, gonna try. I ve been messing with PA gapps, but no go. Tried flash right after and after setup and all i ve got was continuus soft rebooting.

Edit: Tried small gapps from cyagenmod page and getting FC of setup wizard. Can you share links of your gapps? And maybe pacman Rom? Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I'm using nano PA too. Did you reboot system after ROM flashing and before flashing gapps zip? When I did device looped rebooting. When i flashed both zips before rebooting ( it will require several minuts ) everything is gone fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
No didnt reboot. But cant pass language setup, because after skippind SIM card inserting page wizard FC. Maybe have to try with sim card inserted.

PS: Do you flash fotarc2 file from pacman thread too?
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
No. I didn't. Flashed just the ROM and gapps. Nothing else.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
To get things right, do you mean this pacman rom: http://www.myzte.cn/thread-218349-1-1.html ? And this gapps: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps ?
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I mean this one :

[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
I see, I have been trying more recent version from 21/02. Thanks for links
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
just downloaded new version of PAC MAN ROM. To be sure about the right gapps I need to know if it has been developed from CM 11 or 12. Unfortunatly on myzte this is not declared.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
It shold be KK base, so CM11.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
don't tink so, maybe cm 12, in this case you should download the correct file from gapps list in order to have a working system. Some comments on the site you linked say that is a 5.0 rom. Of course is a beta, but if it has been developed from cm 12 I expect some issues (blank screen, reboots, mail stock app hangs when you insert new account, troubles with gpu driver etc...)
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
Testing new PAC man ROM with or without both patches zip and different gapps for 4.4 or 5 always stuck on boot.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Look at build.prop, it is saying CM11 4.4.4. It was booting quite long, but without any problems. Just gapps was problem and some pacman settings.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
Would you mind to tell me what gapps did you use at the end and what settings did you change to optimize the system?
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
I gave up with that version. I couldnt pass language selection page of wizard with any gapps and i had many soft reboots with it if I flashed them lazer and not together with rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I couldn't pass language selection too. It doesn't seem to be an issue related to gapps because I tested different versions always with same result.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
But without gapps no problem.

I am back on MF 3.1.2. On pacman continuus reboots.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
and I'm back to the old good B15, everything works perfect ?
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I'm still on the PAC man release linked in a previous post and not only the ROM is stable but it requires also a little amount of ram, much less then what is required by cm11.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
How did you achieved stability? It is stable without any apps and pacman setting, but after e.g. adding settings to cclock reboot starts, and after installing few apps...the same problem. But I lov speed and opportunities of this ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
As always I'm referring to previous version, not last one. And I never experienced any reboot,, strange behaviour, compatibility issue in more than one week of heavy usage.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Last try teomel. I dont now, whats wrong. I tried many times and it is getting even worse. Now I dont pass setup wizard without reboot. With nano package, are you able to use keybord on setup? I have just google voice active. Now I am gonna try micro gapps package and google keyboard package. Will see. I am very frustrated.:(
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
let's start from the beginning :

first of all recovery, use the bilingual one you can download from this link (is not the last one but is tested for our needs) :

pan.baidu.com/s/1sjAuCRb

then download the last official rom (ver b15) from zte site, this is the link :

http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support/smart_phone/b94e46e5-ec6d-4b81-8b2f-36e4cf75e2eb.html

flash recovery as usual, the choose english language, make a deep clean (reset system,data, dalvik), reboot in recovery, flash file zip downloaded from zte, deep clean again, reboot system.

At this point you have a fresh stock b15 as basis for your next flash.

Download those two files :

rom :

http://yunpan.cn/cJgBYW3epGPWk

code: 5391

gapps :

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2397942 (nano version)

reboot in recovery, deep clean, reboot in recovery again, flash the 2 zips (rom before, gapps later) without rebooting, reboot system (it will require a long time).

That's all what I have done to have a Pac man fully working.

An other advice, if you install xposed and its modules (for me working without issues) you could compromise system stability. Of course this is not due to rom bugs.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Thanks for manual. Maybe I will try. I have been using till now TWRP recovery, and now I ma trying unsuccessfully download again Pacman rom. It stops in the middle of download every time. Probably servers are too busy last few hours.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
As always for me is almost impossible to download anything from yunpan.

After several attempts in the last four days I never succeded in downloading the file 150211-CM-tuoJax.zip needed to test CyanogenMod 11 by daobange 0213. Can anybody suggest me a different link in order to obtain the needed file?

[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Hi Teomel, did you succeed to download that file? I followed your tutorial, but no luck :( The result is the same. Continuus reboots just after startup wizard. I am giveing up.

I ve just downloaded CM 0213 from daobange, should I upload it for you somewhere?... I am trying it now, but back button doesnt work and google keyboard FC.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
never succeded in download, the last time stopped at 293 mb of 412 total.

Tried so many times that I'm personally responsable of their servers overload.

It would be kind if you can upload elsewhere for me also if i'm still of the opinion that would be much profitable for us all to create an alternative download repository.

The issues with pac man 4.4 are quite surprising for me, considered that I've been using the same rom without any trouble. Also the issues you are experiencing with CM are quite new, mostly the one with back button.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Finally I succed to instal CM 0218 with nano gapps after few resets, and till now all is workink fine.:) I ll try to upload to gdrive. Hope author doesnt mind ;)

PS: I am using Internet download manager and after about 5 tries, which stopped riaght after beginning of download, it downloaded pretty fast.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
OK, teomel, here is link for CM 0218. Install with nano gapps. One thing I mentioned is bad audio quality during call on the other side. I hear clearly.

Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8My8mbIHMEtRDd6Vk5HMmdJRmM&authuser=0

and in this folder will be shortly CM 0213 too: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B...XptZjdKc0VNXy1lSWp2bExtZTRYME9Mdjg&authuser=0

Voice quality solved: After turning noise supression in phone app settings, it gets better.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
tank you. Going to test as soon as possible.
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
Where is this setting?I have CM11 0213 and i cant find it in phone app settings.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
It is at the and of the settings above GSM call settins.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Both CM version uploaded. Have a fun.
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
Its not in my settings,weird.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Maybe it is just in 0218 version. Didnt test previous one.
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
I didn't install 0218 because the gpu drivers have some issues in this version.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
I tried 0213 version erlier, but waze couldnt be used for navigation, it was causing reboot after setup of destination.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
known issue with 213 is the conflict between wathsapp apk and art that forbids installation.

With 218 there are some issues with new gpu driver especially for youtube (green artifacts on videos).
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
just as curiosity, the successor

[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
not impressive, with galaxy s6 and htc m9 with snapdragon 810 zte flagship is out with 801?! at least they should go for 805...
[Device Reviews and Information] martas.vavra:
Yes, almost same as our S2, 200Mhz more and better Cameras, and its thicker, not a very good choice for us.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
But it has 3 Gb ram and it's dual sim.
[Device Reviews and Information] MCarek:
Few cosmetic changes: memory,cameras,dual sim,frequency of cpu the rest is the same. If it on the market for 2-3 years still available I'll buy it but not today
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
I don't think many people would buy the Grand S III. At least I won't. With the price of Rmb 2999, I would rather buy an Samsung or else.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
oh well, I was just wondering if this new model will boost the develop of official lollipop for our device too, since the hardware is mostly similar.

is it much more expensive than our device?
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I would just appreciate for the moment a stable cm 11 release working without issues with wathsapp and YouTube, lollipop can still wait considered that most of brands haven't still updated their devices.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
Way much expensive. Now in China, we can buy a Grand s II with RMB 1000-1400, that's about 200-280 dollars. But a Grand s III would costs us about RMB 3000, and that's about 600 dollars or even higher becasue the price does not add the transportation fee up. With 500-600 dollars, is it enough for a new MOTO X?

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Oh my, that's really much, for a chinese phone it would have been high even if it had a Snapdragon 805, for a "old" 801 it's madness... In terms of hardware it has nothing better than a OneplusOne, just sd card and removable battery, but far less in software developement. At that price I can't see a reason to buy it :rolleyes:
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Sorry for talking out of topic, but I really really need some help. Could anybody find french subtitle of a french movie named Le.premier.jour.du.reste.de.ta.vie or The First Day of the Rest of Your Life? I can not find it on any site in China. Please PM me if you have, thanks in adance

btw, I got news that official lollipop is being internal tested and may come out in this month, but don't hope much on it because official often delay update. It will based on fuqihong's lollipop.

In the previous version of the second gapps were already included, therefore you shouldn't need to flash anything else also in this one (i didn't check personally).
[Device Reviews and Information] prian007:
I've had the CM12( Lollipop) on my phone. It went well for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks it suddenly became instabile, telephone went black. After another week it didn't accept the pin code. Since I didn't had any changes in the software for some time It#s obscure that a system can fall apart like that. I only have 10 apps I use. I now went back back to the B15.
[Device Reviews and Information] alexeei:
Have same issues after same time, i think that it's simply bugs, but now almost all time when insert charger phone has dead sleep, and sometime simply has black screen... But i still using it, like android 5 and cant go back to 4.4 :o
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I went back ro B15 too, just tired of all the bugs on other roms, I dont understand if you developer how can you release a new rom without doin simple tests on it, puting new gpu driver that cousing youtube problems?! now I dont even care if its 4.3/4.4/5, just want a stable ROM, B15 do the job
[Device Reviews and Information] RAWSOME:
I am on B15 as well which is still not perfectly stable. I still have hope we will get a stable CM11. I guess the youtube thing is because chinese can't access youtube so that is of no concern for them. Anyhow what use is the powerful hardware if the software is just dog****. I was much happier with my previous HTC and Huawei phones that were just on another level when it comes to build quality and software.
[Device Reviews and Information] martas.vavra:
I agree, my ZTE is in China on RMA, i have Xperia P, it is slower, but it is working much better and it is more stable, also the built quality is much better. :(

I hope, that there will be 100% working ROM. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
In the last 24 hours I've been testing last fiui i've linked in a previous post. A good experience till now, launcher is minimal but fully working, just some easy removable chinese stuff, rom is prerooted and with gapps already included, very smooth and stable as long as I could verify by daily usage.

Instead the miui I linked before seems not to be compatible with my device. The recovery doesn't allow flashing remarking it has been developed for a differente hardware platform. I'm downloading it again to see if the zip was corrupted and, meanwhile, i'm downloading also a new one that has been just inserted on myzte.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
I'm on PAC MAN RC2, which is fast and stable. I've been using this ROM for two weeks and it is stable. Everything works fine.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I used for a long time previous PAC MAN release without any issue. Instead with last beta (RC2) I'm stuck on the screen of apps ottimization wich always reboots. Which gapps did you use in order to make it work smoothly?

By the way, question about building quality of our device and stability of rom should consider also the price/hardware balance and the fact that official b15 is absolutly stable, if we are using unofficial roms (many of them are still beta releases) issues are quite normal.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
Eh.. I don't actually use GAPPS because I can't get an access to Google in China. But I use a very old version of Gapps in previous roms. I'll try to upload it if you want me to.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

The only problem I found on miui was the heavy usage of RAM. The system ate most of the RAM.

Am I the only one perfectly fine with MF 3.1.X by alexeei? Maybe it's because I normally don't stress the phone at all, but no bugs for me and excellent daily use for my needs.

Going to update to 3.1.4 as soon as I have a few time.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
With MF 3.1.X from alexeii I'm always experiencing an issue with contact app (contacts has ben stopped) wich forbids temporary usage of phone app.

[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
UPDATE MIUI 4.4 TESTING:

Ok , the rom is quite good , for the first beta I think.

The bugs: Wifi don´t work, 4G (LTE) not available, the led light on the capatative buttons (Back and options) don´t work, lighted is only the home button.

led notification for calls , charging , mail , etc. , the phone storage is only emulated (only 4gb available)

And the antutu score is low only 30 000 points (bad optimization)

But it´s very smooth, worth a try :) i think in a week will it be done and okay :D
