Try this ROM, works perfectly. In my opinion this is the best ROM for THL 5000:

My first THL 5000 not charging at all, I had to complain. The second piece is already working fine. I think You have to send the phone to complain.

Hello what about the philips rom, there is a something good?
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
I'm with you on this. I had the 2 versions of the Moto G. Motorola is a 1 / 1.5 category brand, and THL is a 2nd or 3rd category chinese company. I don't understand why THL has so many phones. They can't pay attention and give good support to all of them. I guess these phones are for geeks like us who like to mess with the phones, but after a while, even us get enough of bad stuff.

Oh and the battery doesn't last enough, i don't know how some people here get more than 1 week with one charge.

Google Play Games Can't Log in

Hi RBT I am now trying your modified ROM and found it smooth and good. But I got this trouble with google play games where I can't log in my games in google play like clash of clans. I can log in on gmail and playstore but this trouble in google play games log in is really a mess. Is there any possible way?

Thank you.
[Device Reviews and Information] C3C076:
Just to contribute with yet another rant.

I don't know what chinese engineers did wrong but the system feels quite laggy.

More laggy than my old quad-core ThL W8 running Jelly Bean ROM.

I am using 5000 for development only so it doesn't bother me too much but I definitely couldn't live with it being my daily driver.
[Device Reviews and Information] spooky_ghosty:
Can anyone CONFIRM 100% that the 900 MHz 3G Modem works on the Stock ROM!? And please post a picture with the proof. The reason I am asking for a 100% PROOF is that I will be going to go to a THL Service to pay to have this done so it won't affect my warranty, so I need a 100% confirmation and proof of this process.Thanks

Power button issue

Need help, after installing new rom, i noticed that there are unexpected rebooting on my thl 5000, and sometimes my powerbutton doesn't function, it does not turn the screen on and off... What should i do...
[Device Reviews and Information] nicholasfierce:
THL 5000, One month on.

Hmmm while I enjoy the Phone, I knew I would have to compromise on style for the battery life which I didnt mind - I had an iocean x7 and I think now I appreciate how stylish (but laggy) It was.

It is absolutely fantastic not having to charge the phone daily! Although its not the giant I had imagined, theres no denying that the battery outshines most of todays smart phones. In Ireland we're fed alot of big label phones only via physical stores, and I got fed up with the limited selection which led me to go online and find the iocean x7, and thus began my fascination with all things Mediatek. A guy came int owork the other day and he had the one plus one and I fangirled at finding another 'chinese phone' fan because people in Ireland are so willing to accept only whats heavily promoted and readily available to them.

And Im sure as with many, third party accessories is maybe the most obvious downfall of alot of these products, Im sure many people would be happy with any protective cover for their phone but Im always jealous of the wide variety of samsung and apple covers that are available.

I havent had any bugs with the phone, although rooting it was a bit of a hassle even though I had plenty of experience rooting and flashing phones.

As I mentioned in previous posts, my sd card was giving me removal errors which annoyed the **** out of me as I thought it was a phone fault, listening to your favorite song on the bus and BAM sd card removed - luckily formatting that card was the solution.

Ive been using bushy v9 rom and none of the other custom roms have peaked my interest enough to install them.

I dont know where this post came from, bored on my break at work!
[Device Reviews and Information] domy_os:
Does anyone have a solution to Android System and Android OS high battery usage? I have this problem on both of Dimid's ROMs - Classis and Custom. I tried almost everything including:

- turning off smart gestures, audio effects, leather pattern, pocket mode, Wi-Fi optimization, Google Keyboard,...

- disabling all live wallpapers, Camera/Gallery and Google Search/Now

- wiping data for Google Play Store and Services

- switching GPS high accuracy to device only

- manually choose mobile networks

- uninstalling weather apps

- calibrating all sensors

- rebooting phone after removing charger

- installing a few power fixes/profiles

Nothing helped. :(
[Device Reviews and Information] enzobelmont:
same behavior here...
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
I think you have bad/fake battery. You have to reclaim the phone. I use Dimid's Classic ROM v2 and my phone usually works 4-5 days without charging.
[Device Reviews and Information] kasvet-efza:
Also my phone just go 2 days.

Wifi or data connection is always open.

I don't play games. Surfing on net and calls.

Is this normal?
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
It's just one file i think. You can put it there, if it doesn't work, but back the old one. I think it would be very hard for them to see any modification.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Did you wipe?

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

My phone doesn't last what it should either. I highly suspect the culprit is the screen. I wonder what battery lasting, the first users that got the "good" screen, have.
[Device Reviews and Information] domy_os:
Why? My battery lasts about 5 day of moderate usage, without data connection and WLAN it can take about 10 days. I think that cause of problem is different...

I agree with you, the screen is a major consumer of battery on every modern smartphone. The first series of THL 5000 had better and a little darker screens.
[Device Reviews and Information] hasaan6545:
Your battery is fine

Android System shows high battery usage because of the incorporated PowerProfile mod in Classic ROMs.

The system isn't consuming that much battery; phone idle state along with wifi and radio is being shown together along with Android System in this mod.

Everything is okay.

On stock ROM too if you flash the powerprofile mod, you will see a similar pattern of battery usage by 'Android System'
[Device Reviews and Information] enzo-ita:
Agree
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Just for the record, i'm running Classic ROM which has a CPU speed manager that allow to set max speed, but i'm not seeing real improvements and even at 1.5GHz, there a bit of delay.

Power button not working any more

I don't have the reboots, but now the power button does not function at all!

Notes:

It happened while I was trying to charge from a dead power bank (phone tried to boot/charge and every 1 second flashed off and on until I realized the power bank was dead).

There's no hardware issue with the button. I turn the phone off from Mobile Uncle Tools, wait 30 seconds and then double press the power button and the phone turns on.

--EDIT--The phone does turn on by itself in 30 seconds, so it must be hardware problem.

However, I found a replacement here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...For-THL-4400-5000-Smart-Cell/32245936569.html

and here: http://www.antelife.com/original-power-button-fpc-repair-part-for-thl-4400-smartphone.html

I am using Bushys v10.2 ROM.

I have wiped cache and did a factory reset with no success.

I have restored previous working condition from recovery (From Russia With Love) with no success.

I have temporary turned on screen gestures and double tap the screen to turn on.

I get the phone to sleep from the drop down menu "zzz option".

Has anyone found a solution yet?

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Just charge it for a couple of hours and pressing the button will turn it on. It is software related (I am currently searching for a solution). You will turn it on and just enable screen gestures (double tap to turn on screen) and sleep from pull down menu "zzz option".

Suggestion

Hey Guys, Finally got my THL 5000 working Great I used Dimid's Classic ROM V3 but I experienced some delays on COC and XModGames on COC just wont work after a reboot. I will need to uninstall both apps and reinstall to make it work again. But after using Android Tuner Free the one from Xposed. I deodexed and zip aligned the whole system then applied the tweaks except the power saving and auto task killer. My device just works great.
[Device Reviews and Information] FISHERMANDSL:
I installed a couple of days ago classic-v2mod. The rom is great...the phone is a bargain for its price. I only have a big complaint regarding the GPS use. I have tried gps fix,some changes with mobileuncle e.t.c , but still when i use Sygic the gps although it locks pretty fast, it hops in random places near my main route while driving....:crying: Any thoughts ?

Today I tryed to root my THL 5000...

Earlier root with vRoot was a success, but that method was not the right way to root the phone, because it installed so much spyware that I had to factory reset the phone, update via OTA etc...

I tried the CWM method using SPFlash, but it would not allow me to flash the superSu from recovery, the error was "invalid OTA" and some scatter problem.

Later, I decidet to try the TWRM method, also using SPFlash and BOOM!!! It flashed the TWRM recovery and it gave me the option to flash the SuperSu update...

I downloaded the superSu from playstore but Titanium backup kept saying "mount namespace separation issue bla bla bla", so I went to the SuperSu settings and unchecked the "mount namespace separation" option and I finally managed to get Titanium Backup working!

I received Update to 1.1.1 five minutes ago. Anyone else too?

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

After installing 1.1.1 theres a great change:

Gamma value issue is fixed.

Old Gamma: 1,4 New Gamma 2,1:good::good::good:
[Device Reviews and Information] montemg:
Me too but the problems reported by me are still present :(

I'm trying to install the app Good For Enterprise (GFE) because my company use this as a mail app for Android smartphone.

The problem is that the GFE security policy identify the Vendor ROM (1.1.1) as a "Rooted ROM". I already involved the GFE Support, they bought a THL 5000 and tested it with the same results.

I have a problem with the function "SIM Management -> Contact Binding", it does not works properly.

I can bind the numbers with the SIM 1 or 2 but when i call the phone ask me however to select the SIM 1 or 2. Someone have tried this function?

Some users here and in german "android-hilfe" forum reported display issues ("newer" THL 5000 devices only), low contrast due to a gamma value of 1,2-1,4, which is fixed now.

[Device Reviews and Information] spooky_ghosty:
I had it too, but did not have the Display Tester app to test the display anymore...anyways, It wasn't an issue for me but i like it better this way. Hopefully they will optimize the camera and the headphone volume. This is a great device with great hardware it's would be a shame not to take advantage of it bcuz of faulty programming. Anyways, I love my device and hopefully they will continue fixing it :D

Camera works better using Google's camera app.

This display issue was my reason not to try any custom rom because I hoped thl would fix this. Great work!

[Device Reviews and Information] flash-75:

Don't you hate when companies don't release the changelog?!

Any changes other than gamma? If it makes the screen spends less battery, would install the new update ASAP.

I have TWRP installed but am still on the stock ROM (so I could installed xposed), and OTAs keep on giving me errors. Where can I find the OTA file to update by myself in TWRP?

I already checked /cache but there's nothing there.

EDIT: Never mind, if you are on TWRP and have trouble with OTA updates, go into storage/sdcard0/adupsfota and either update using TWRP from that location or copy it out to "sdcard0" to update more easily on TWRP.

Double EDIT: Update.zip doesn't work either... does anyone have any ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] dfs_:
Yesssssssss!

Updated from 1.09 to 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 and gamma is perfect, great colors! A real improvement!

[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
So far so good, I updated to 1.1.1. I had to go back to original backup first since I had removed a bunch of unused app from the stock ROM which prevented the update script to work properly. Anyhow, a few hours latter, everything works fine, as it was before... Unfortunately I see no improvement though. This feels exactly as it was before.
[Device Reviews and Information] hasaan6545:
Gamma fixed!!

I can confirm that the screen gamma is fixed! :)

I checked it myself on two different screen gamma charts; it's between 2.2 and 2.3

The screen is flawless:)

I used Dimid's 1.1.1 ROM from here: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=592576&st=3200
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Boys, I prepared multilanguage version of Dimid's Classic ROM V3, yesterady. Originaly it has only 4 languages. Now there are the same languages as in V2.

I uploaded it on needrom - http://www.needrom.com/download/classic-v3mod/

Version no. 3 should be the best of the series Classic ROM.

Here is newest original ROM 1.1.1. - easy installation from TWRP - https://yadi.sk/d/0zVInRtSd8WVB or http://uloz.to/xe36y4pE/thl5000-v1-1-1-twrp-zip

You do not have to return to the original ROM. :)

Changes:

* Root Shell

* Support init.d

* Integrated Root

* Installing busybox

The latest version correct color for the new type of display, colors are darker. Gama on new displays was 1.2, now in latest ROM is mode than 2.0 (it is good)

I used this test program - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester

Use test Gama detection, as is described on attached picture.

How do we apply this to your classiv v3 mod? Can you provide the steps for a newbie like me? I thought TWRP intall will override v3 mod once installed? Is there another way to update to 1.1.1 using the above link if you phone is running your classiv v3 mod?
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Wait, I have a patch directly to Classic V3, but I have to test it. :o
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Friends here is patch "Boot_Uboot_111.zip ". It corrects gamma 1.2, on the new displays. After applying the patch you will have gamma 2.0. Perfect.

So far I have only tested the Classic ROMs, but it should work well with others. Do not apply if you have phone from the first series - there are displays with gama 1.8-2.0. Patch will work, but will have too dark display.
[Device Reviews and Information] koolxs:
As stated earlier, I installed the new OTA. I can see an improvement in the colour depth. However, what me eyes tell me, is not confirmed by Display Tester measurements. So, for me the Gamma is not fixed, but anyways, I do not care about values since what I get is what I like. What I still want, is colours to become a little bit deeper. Needs a slight improvement.

So, trusting my eyes only and my overall experience I would like to comment the following:

Which charts did you use?

Maybe this is an issue. I have deleted a few system apps too. So, MAYBE the OTA did not sit well on my system and maybe the improvemnt ought to be greater.

Dear flash-75, there is a clear contradiction between your messages. First you express a certainty about the gamma values of your phone's display and then you try to validate what you said by saying "you know what? some guys in that german forum say that their gamma improved".

Sorry to say this, but it seems that you did not try the new OTA and did not perform a gamma measurement. If you did, you wouldn't need confirmation from the forum users.

No measurement is valid, if you don't like the output. Do you really SEE a difference?

Please specify which version of ROM you wear. On the new OTA, I do not like my stock camera app's output. Maybe Google camera works fine on this new ROM

Thanks for your detailed instructions. As I said, I still get 1.2 on grey matrix and 1.0 to 1.2 on colours.

However, there IS a visible difference. the colours seem deeper. Especially blues and reds. Greens and yellows are also a bit better, but still need a small improvement. I will try to revert back to 1.1.0 stock rom (unrooted), then do the OTA to 1.1.1 and check again.

[MENTION=4818077]rbt07[/MENTION]

Thanks so much pal!

I will try it on my rooted stock 1.1.1 (note: I dod not lose Root or TWRP when updated OTA) and I' ll let you know how it went. May I flash the zip with TWRP normally?

My touch screen was not responding this morning. I had to reset the phone. I updated to 1.1.1 yesterday, I wonder if It is not related to it since I never got this problem before...

About the bug that I had installing the patch, it was certainly related to the fact that I had some apps removed since the script failed at the line where it check for the calculator ask, which is the first line related to an app that I removed from the original Rom
