You see, CarbonForKarbonn is the first Kitkat ROM for this device. If you download it, you can see the amount of work that has gone into modifying those APKs for this.

Actually, I have 4 Jelly Bean 4.3.1 ROMs ready. They were still in testing. Xperia ROM v3 (now Lifian ROM), that was the first big update you guys were getting.

Other than that, I had 3 More ROMs, namely CarbonForKarbonn, TouchWiz UI (Samsung) and CM10.2.1. All were in development. CarbonForKarbonn only needs a new kernel, which was what I was working on.

I thought it would be better to create one bugless Kitkat update for this device than multiple ROMs with the same user interface.

All those recoveries, you see, all those were repackaged, ported, and modified to work on this device by me. You don't easily get all those recoveries directly. I know, I haven't released any working ROM, but that's because I don't want you guys to brick your device for a small change in the user interface.

I can show you screenshots if you want, of those ROMs. Lifian ROM, actually, is the best ROM for this device. It's got a benchmark score more than that of Xperia ROM v2 and Fly UI ROM, and has many, many features. It also has CM10's theme engine incorporated into it, since it was based on CM's resources and APKs.

If you think my actions are just in the wrong way, then why don't you try fixing CarbonForKarbonn and making it work for this device? I have spent months together trying to make this work, and my percentage in the exams have fallen 20% because of this.

I have written and rewritten thousands of lines of code in my effort to make a proper, new kernel. With my kernel, you could have even gotten a real Lollipop update, let alone themed Jelly Bean ROMs. Due to internet limitations, I can only use 8 GB of download/upload combined. If I had the resources and time, you guys could have gotten a new ROM every week.

Moreover, this phone, you see, I don't own it. It is my father's phone, and he has even gotten fired once because I was trying out CarbonForKarbonn at the time his boss called. It has been more than 6000 rs. gone down the drain because of all the things I was doing for everyone here.

If you want, I'll upload even Lifian ROM, my kernel that I was developing, my tweaks, etc. to the internet. But note this, I can't go on forever.

Please don't criticise me, there was nothing I could do. I know, I shouldn't have disappointed you guys, but you tell me, should I just neglect studies and work 24x7 on this, with headaches, sprains in the hand, daily visits to the doctor and all that? I have spent more than two thousand rupees on resources, on the service center and on extra internet charges, all to help you guys for free. I'm not putting the blame on you, or anybody here, but I'm just telling sorry.

This is SCRAP too. Lifian ROM is in development and will be out soon. :D

Finally you are on my way. I was insanely lost in building android hacking app(for personal use) and a advance web search app that can split variables of my interest through pre defined flow control. The first app is ready and I left second one imperfect. Now I spent my time with my friends for sake of my exams in place of my E-friends:D;)

[Android General] rjt.rockx:
This isn't the place to ask that, man. Sorry.

Try Framaroot, CF Auto-Root, KingRoot or any other app.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yeah, well, thanks. Not just by me, though. From the Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus Telegram group. Ported by me, but tested and errors fixed by them.

Hey , are there any books or stuff that i need to study or read to help you with developing carbonforKarbonn or Xperia Z3 rom?

If any , please link them and I'd love to help in this development
[Android General] sufie cruise:
When i try to play hd games it shows lot of glitches and white screen is it becaue of changed buil.prop in z2?
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
@sufie cruise Nope. Although, a few build.prop tweaks give better performance, changing it doesn't impact white screens and glitches.

@Itachi_Uchiha Not books. Topics. Linux Kernel development and Android kernel development.

ROM is still buggy. Fixing bugs.

Got it...that game is meant for snapdragon only...sad...

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

And what about lollifox?
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Bug fixing. Bug fixing, bug fixing and bug fixing.

BTW, try setting the processor to run at 1300 MHz Quad Core (Use PACPerformance) and the CPU governor to performance, not hotplug, powersave or userspace.

Might help with the game.

Help!

I am running on custom rom on s5 plus and my sd card containg my nandroid backup is corrupted.

I need an app named "valvet".

It is a system app of karbonn titanium s5 plus's stock rom.

Anybody running on stock rom please copy this app from /system/app

and mail me on kashyapawan@gmail.com

If you are not running stock rom but having nandroid backup through clockworkmod recovery extract system.ext4.tar file of your nandroid backup.

Thanks

This backup can easily extracted from 7zipper.

[Android General] mnsnpl:
my phone does not shows boot menu ....now how can i flash firmware
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
You can use the Softkeyz app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz ) to change the design of the icons. However, you can't apply a glow effect or transparency or any such thing on the stock ROM.

But, there is a way to get that transparency, icons and all that, in the Xperia ROM. You will have to install the Xposed framework, install GravityBox and then mess around with the tweaks in that to get that effect you're looking for.

The Android L ROM will have all that navigation bar tweaks and things you're looking for, so I'll try to extract that and add it to most of the ROMs.

Note : If you're unwilling to pay for the app, just do a quick Google search and you'll find the apk file, which can be downloaded and installed manually on your device. Either that or you could download the app through Blackmart Store for free.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
One more question. Would it be better if I include only the most basic ringtones in the ROM file and make a separate zip file of all other ringtones ( lessens the size of the ROM file but will have to flash two packages separately ) or include all ringtones within the ROM file itself ? ( greatens the size of the ROM file but less flashing )

My opinion is that two separate packages would be better, but I'll leave it up to your decision.

Happy Deepavali, by the way !
[Android General] cybercrawler:
Ya two separate packages will be better!

And also thanks for the 'softkeyz' app.Bought it from the play store (since I have my own credit card).Here is the ss.

Looks really great. Indian Nexus 4 :)
[Android General] algates:
Thank you very much.......better use SD card as main storage....Or if possible use the option available in xperia v2 ROM(we can choose the storage option in settings anytime).

Also am using xposed modules for the lollipop navigation bar with transparency..... Works n looks pretty good...

Also two separate packages will be better......
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yep, but it looks better on a black background.

Nice icon pack and launcher... could you post some details about them ?

I see you are still having that internal storage problem. You could remove it by the Link2SD app ( i.e. if you have space on your sd card )
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Auto Installation of Apps

Do you know whether the Xposed framework works with the stock ROM ? I have some issues with it, like it doesn't reboot after installation.

Anyway... I'm bundling a few apps that get installed alongwith the ROM installation. They'll be installed as user apps, so you wont have any trouble removing them if you don't want them.

The apps are :

Blackmart by Blackmart.us

Google Keyboard by Google Inc.

Google Keep by Google Inc.

A Better Camera Pro by Almalence

Root Explorer by Speed Software

360 Security by Qihu ( I like its UI )

SoftkeyZ Root by Janis N. Elfert

WPS: #1 FREE Mobile Office App by Kingsoft Office Software Corp.

ZipSigner by Ken Ellinwood

PACPerformance by Willi Ye

Pimp My ROM Beta by Androguide.fr

ROM Toolbox Pro by JRummy Apps

Easy Backup and Restore by MDroid Apps

DU Battery Saver by DU Apps

I feel these are must-have utility apps and must be included with any ROM I build.
[Android General] cybercrawler:
I am using Solo launcher and lollipop theme by OnTheEdge.As for the internal storage problem its actually my SD card which is almost full.
[Android General] algates:
Hi rjt.rocks, These r the must having apps , am currently using all of it except the softkeyz root app..........

Also am using xperia v2 ROM now, but xposed installer works fine on stock ROM . Bcoz I rooted my phone and installed xposed modules the first day I bought this awesome phone.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
You know, once, it didn't feel that awesome at all.( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54079241&postcount=10 - 1st part ) But now, that I got involved in this device's development, it seems a whole lot better...
[Android General] algates:
Yup , that's true........Now u r the best developer for our phone. U r doing very hard work here......Hope u have more time to relax.........And keep it the good work....:)
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
You know what ?

I am on a recovery porting spree right now.

I just ported Philz Touch Recovery 6.57.9 ( which is based on ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.5.1 ) to this device !

Through this, you have the ability to :

Install a Flashable Zip through ADB Sideload

Install Multiple Zip files

Reboot to Fastboot mode, Recovery, System or Power Off

Toggle Signature verification

Use hardware keys or software keys. ( Note : I'm guessing cybercrawler would like this, as it comes with Android L - like Navigation Buttons )

Clean Up for Installation of a new ROM

Format Individual Partitions

Wipe Dalvik / ART cache

Clone system to an Update.zip file

Custom backup and restore from Internal or External SD Card

Switch between TWRP and CWM backup and restore mode

Mount USB Storage

Open Recovery scripts

Re-Root System

Support Aroma File Manager

Verify Root on exit

Setup Recovery Lock

Edit and Customize the GUI, including

Touch or Non-Touch option

Vibration Control

Brightness Control

Background Control

Menu Color

Virtual Keys

Battery / Clock Color

and much more !

Well, what are you waiting for ? Here's the link to try it out :

Hope it helps !

Thank you very much rocx........I tried out, it's pretty good n am using it right now.....Thanks again for ur hard work....and keep up the good work...
[Android General] cybercrawler:
How should I flash it.Also I have CWM so should I flash through it??

Give me step by step instructions, because I don't want to end up in boot loop.
[Android General] algates:
Easy way to install .....

Place the recovery in root of SD card ....

Download mobile uncle tool from play store.....

Open the app and select the option 'update recovery...

Select the philz recovery.img file......

Restart the phone in recovery mode...

Victory......;)
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Or that method... I don't recommend doing it through such apps because, just in case, if they close right in the middle of such operations, your recovery is spoilt and bootloops might occur. Terminal Emulator is also an app, I agree, but it is heavily tried and tested before releasing into the play store.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Umm... Algates, could you find out some info about art architecture and its file structure in a rom ? I guess I need some info about it for my Android L ROM Project. I have tried to gather as much info as I could, but I still feel it isn't enough, that's why.
[Android General] cybercrawler:
I have used terminal emulator on previous device to flash recoveres. I'll flash it through it.No problemo romeo.Thanks :)
[Android General] algates:
I don't know about that......but I will ask my friends regarding this....

Check this...http://techblogon.com/android-file-system-structure-architecture-layout-details/
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
I just wanted to know the difference between the file structure of Android Jelly Bean, Kitkat and Lollipop ( Dalvik, Dalvik or ART and ART respectively ). Well, thanks anyway.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Progress : Another build of the Carbon ROM is complete with fixes for most errors. File size : ~431 MB. Copying to the device for testing it out.
[Android General] algates:
Nice....fingers crossing.....
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yeah, It didn't work. A dumb bash script optimized for other devices, which I had added to the ROM, prevented it from loading the system folder for flashing. Rebuilding the ROM with some tweaks deleted now. I also added the V6 supercharger tweak to it, increasing the ROM's performance on the device. So now, there won't be any lags like the ones you had experienced on the stock ROM. Oh, and anybody like Android L's Boot Animation ? Drooling for the want of it on this device ? You can use it on the CarbonForKarbonn ROM ! It has init.d compatibility, ability to run bash scripts on startup, less lag when rendering touches, dark or black user interface, pre-rooted and SuperSU installed, signed by ZipSigner, etc. features among others ! Still not tested, though. Rebuilding it now.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Damn these errors ! I keep getting status 6 or status 0 errors while trying to flash the ROM. Any guesses for solving such errors ?
[Android General] sagartiwari:
I have a some question!!

Is the Terminal Emulator works fine with this Stock Flashable File?? And where can i find the recovery.img file and Is it better than Ygdp tool?? :confused: :confused:
[Android General] Itachi_Uchiha:
Help

I have a s5 plus and i have rooted it. The phone freezes(on the karbonn logo) every time i reboot and the only solution i have is to factory reset the phone. please help
[Android General] sagartiwari:
Give it a try!!

First Install A Cwm As links given above... Then go to cwm with the help of Volume up+power. Then go to backup and restore and make a backup of your current rom. Now Format your data,clear cache,go to advanced menu and clear davlik cache. Then go back to Backup and Restore And Restore your backup(Which you just back up).

Hope it helps!!! :angel:
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
The phone doesn't freeze at all. It just gets stuck on the logo for a really loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time and then vibrates, and then boots up after some time. When you boot up, be sure to do this :

Go to Google Play and Install ROM Toolbox Lite app.

Open it.

Swipe Right ( Left to Right )

Select Boot Animations

Tap Disable Boot Animation.

Done !

Now, since the boot animation is disabled, the phone will only show the loading pic while booting up. Not just that, it boots up a few seconds faster. Trust me, I've tried it out on my device and it works much better. Do take a backup of the Stock ROM using CWM or PhilZ Recovery before installing a Custom ROM, if you're going to do so. PM me for any further queries.

( Note : If you're scratching your head apart on thinking what PM means, it's Private Message. If that's way too complicated for you, you can always post here. )
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yep, Lollipop is confirmed for this device. It'll be based on CyanogenMod, OmniROM, Carbon ROM, ParanoidAndroid, etc. whichever releases a totally bug-free version first. OmniROM has already gone about testing a buggy version on the Nexus 7 2013 edition, so maybe it'll be my first bet. Damn, all of you are going to be lucky, this could be the first Karbonn device to receive an unofficial Lollipop update.

Edit 1 :

Karbonn Sparkle V got Lollipop by varun.chitre's unofficial CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop ROM. So, bad luck. This won't be the first Karbonn device to recieve Lollipop. CyanogenMod 12 ( released for the Android One devices ) is confirmed as my Lollipop base ROM. ( Same chipset of MediaTek MT6582 ( I guess ), Almost same features, Totally my first choice. )
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Or, it could be a totally stock version of Android Lollipop with basic Google Apps.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Here's a preview of Android L on my phone :

Liked it ? Well, it is actually not Android L. It is the Xperia v2 ROM running on this device, with the following modifications :

Navigation Bar Themed by SoftkeyZ

Nova Launcher with persistent Lollipop Search Bar and Android L themed icons.

Android L Gmail and Calendar app backported to Jelly Bean and Kitkat devices ( available at ApkMirror -- apkmirror.com )

Five button Navigation Bar Mod by GravityBox ( App Launcher, Recents, Home, Back and Menu )

Circle Battery with Percentage Mod by GravityBox

Weather Live Wallpaper ( I don't know where I got this from. )

Hope you liked it.

The ROMs which are almost complete are CarbonForKarbonn ROM , the Xperia Z v3 ROM and the Stock ROM. MIUI 6 is pending, Stock Android L is pending, CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop is pending ... Help would be greatly appreciated. I guess I'll have to upload the still-in-development ROM files. Check here for more updates.

Oh, and anybody wanting to help can help by trying to fix any errors you find in the ROM files. I guess I have typed the link for the META-INF files in somewhere in this thread or the Stock ROM for Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus thread. Hope my works help !
