Has anybody tried and tested the Fly UI ROM ported by [MENTION=5732253]shobit nair[/MENTION] ? If so, could they mention the following items :

1. Is it PERFECTLY STABLE in all aspects ?

2. Does it have any custom CPU governors ?

3. Is it pre-rooted ?

4. Are there any custom modifications / apps / any other things that you don't want ?

5. Are there any other tweaks that you would like to see in other ROMs ?

6. Is it perfectly smooth and fast ?

Please answer these questions. I'm trying to create an update to the Xperia ROM v2, and I haven't tried out this ROM yet, so, I just wanted to know these, so that if it contains any special feature, I can put it to my next update. I'll try to bump up the Android version a bit, to 4.3 (Jelly Bean final release) and add a few user interface modifications.

Kitkat is still pending, (and so is Lollipop) and I'm waiting for [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] 's answer so that we can get a kernel source for our device, to guarantee future updates.

[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Could you please explain what you were trying to convey?
[Android General] TripleR119:
Will be done with stock recovery??
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Nope. Use MTK Droid tools to flash a custom recovery or use any of the recoveries I have created.
[Android General] TripleR119:
Flashed cwm successfully..??

Plz tell further process.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Download the Stock ROM zip file. And get to a PC. We'll discuss this over PMs.

I just want to know which custom recovery you are using.

I am using cwm basic non touch downloaded from the first post.

I am facing battery problem, after doing backup or restore(may be happen with other options) when I reboot my device my battery % falls 40 to 50 %.

After that when I charge my device it rises to actual percentage in minutes.

Most critical problem I am facing after restoring nandroid backup through cwm is my device takes forever to charge full and drain battery to much.

I have tried battery stat wipe through cwm several times but nothing happend.

Please help me.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Well, I dunno about this. I'm using CWM non-touch recovery, and if any such problem rises up, I just do a battery statistics wipe and it gets fixed.

Which ROM are you using now? Such problems mostly occur with the stock ROM. Are you using any app like DU Battery Saver or something? If so, which app? If not, then try any such app.

By the way, if you don't use the phone very much, you can underclock the processor to around 1 GHz or slower. Mine runs at 1300MHz Quad core while gaming, 598MHz Single core while idle, and 1040MHz Dual core during other times, for general usage. I use PACPerformance to change the speed of the CPU, that might help for battery life.

Well, getting back to the topic, I'll try to look into the system for any such problem. Have you tried checking if other ROMs have this problem too? If so, then which ROMs?

BTW, mention whether your phone is rooted, has Xposed Framework installed, which modules, etc. so that I can find out the root cause of this problem.

FYI, some battery saver apps use fast charging till 80%, slow charging till 100%, and then trickle charging after that, to help increase the battery's durability. Try disabling or enabling that.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
I am on stock rom(rooted)

I tried battery stat wipe sevral times through cwm recovery.

I tried several battery callibration app to.

I visited customer care to check my battery and my battery is not out of juice.

I use battery saver app greenify.

I governor my cpu frequency through tasker already in the way you suggested above.

I use various xposed modules like xmultiwindow ,xprivacy ,greenify ,obb to sd and xstana(currently not using).

This is all information about about my device. Can flashing a custom rom solve my problem ,suggest me a custom rom having zero bugs.

Please help me. I became frustrated to keep my mobile connected to charger everytime.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Try the Xperia ROM v2, the only ROM that I can guarantee which has no bugs at all.

I'm currently using it, with more Xposed modules and storage so filled that there is currently 1.4 MB free in Internal Storage, and 5.3 MB free in the SD Card, out of total 32 GB. I have around 8 GB of app backups (APK files) and all others are just app data, app files, downloaded documents, CWM backups, etc. App data takes around 8-10 GB itself. And still, it works perfectly, with no freezes, no FCs, no crashes, nothing. And you get ~400 MB RAM available most of the time.

BTW, if you have got time and a PC nearby, build a new CWM recovery using MTK Droid tools and try with that. It would be the same, but it is worth a try.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
And what about my battery problem?
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Well, see if it continues with the Xperia ROM and the new recovery. If it does, then I'll have to look into the system files, and maybe create a small flashable zip file that might help.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
This thread went in silent mode due to lack of its KK and L update.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Because of a lack of developers helping in modifying a kernel source to work on our device so that newer kernel updates can be created so that our device can receive newer android version updates too. If I had the knowledge, I would have created it long ago. Now, I have got to learn the usage of Ubuntu, learn how to modify kernel sources, learn how to port kernels, learn how to code kernels, wait a few more months for my own laptop so that I can go full time with Android development, and then some.

Well, all hope is not lost. I'm trying a new method of porting kernels, so, just wait a few days. I'll post the results here soon.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
I have just flashed Sony xperia Z v2 ROM on my device but it shows no sim card detected

Please help me I love it UI and wanna have it.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Another problem is that power button long press is not working

Then How can I do reboot and power off.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Remove the battery, wipe Dalvik cache using recovery, reboot to system.

Just a slight glitch that occurs sometimes. No need to worry.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
It shows no sim card detected please help
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
That was what I was talking about as a slight glitch. Did you do the above ?
[Android General] kashyapawan:
Yes I did but continue to show no sim card detected.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Did some research. Get to a PC and have the Xperia ROM ready. I'll send you a few files, replace the ones in the ROM with my files, zip it, and install the ROM again. I'll just get them ready.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
All things are working properly but sim management option in setting is not highlighted.

And I observed that permission of root files eg files under nvram's are changed from rw- rw- --- to rw- r-- ---.

It belongs to data partition and this ROM doesn't alter it.

Is this creating problem in my case.

Please reply
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
But still, try this out and reply back : http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/fkYPOyMM/file.html

It just changes the META-INF files to flash the system partition only, not the data partition. Since you are talking about Root files, this should work out.

Procedure :

Unzip the Xperia ROM v2.

Unzip the file I provided.

Delete Xperia ROM v2's META-INF and replace it with my META-INF files.

Zip the ROM back again.

Flash it.

Report back whether it worked or not.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
Thanks for your helping hand

Working properly after fifth try of flashing this rom.

It seems faster than stock rom observed while installing app. It takes half of the time take with respect to its stock rom.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
See ? Minor Glitch. Nothing permanent.

BTW, I'll tell you all of its benefits :

10000x more customizability compared to the Stock ROM

Easily modifiable.

17.3x faster in most cases.

Better RAM management.

More support (from me, b'cos I'm using this ROM as my daily driver)

Fully STABLE.

Have you heard of Kitkat or Lollipop running on a 3.4.5 or lower kernel ? If so, then our days of wait for a new update might lessen.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Brother i've jst flashed Xperia z v2 but xinternal and gravity box is not working...any fix for that??
[Android General] kashyapawan:
No need to use xinternal module on this rom , internal sd and external sd are interchanged in this rom and this rom comes with some gravity box notification drawer tweak can be seen after installing and activating gravity box. You should reflash this rom I flashed 5 times then it's works perfectly for me.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
[MENTION=6521880]kashyapawan[/MENTION], there is no specific requirement to flash the ROM 5 times or something. It depends on whether the software was properly installed or not. For me, it worked at the first time. For others, I dunno.

BTW, GravityBox sometimes works, somethimes doesn't. It depends on whether the Xposed Framework was configured correctly.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
So what should i do now?

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Is there any hope for kitkat or Lollipop update? And what about c4k? Still working or project dropped?
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Working. Working Working Working. It scrambles my brain out but I'm still working. Takes too damn much of my time, but I'm still working. I'm trying out every goddamn way possible to get a Kitkat kernel for our device. Till now, it isn't that successful, but hey, I can't let everybody down now, can I? I've had to forget about my blog, postpone my studies, skip any and all family events, etc. but I don't want to quit on this. I want it to be done as badly as everyone here does, and I'm still working on it. My pocket money's almost over now, used up almost all of it at the Cyber Cafe for learning about Android Kernel Development, broken and bricked my phone more than 30 times (it's at the service center now, warranty 1000% gone) but I'm not the one to give up. Just give me some time.

BTW, [MENTION=5561671]sufie cruise[/MENTION] , just reflash it. Try my META-INF files and see if it works. If not, reply back and I'll look into it.
[Android General] kashyapawan:
Hey do you ever used gravity box transparency treak. Everything working except this tweak.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yup. I have used (almost) each and every feature of Gravitybox. Everything works, the way it was supposed to, including Ultimate Notification Control.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Its working now jst had to change preferred install location to internal storage..... And take ur time brother..... Tough job...as we know u r doin it alone.... Best of luck brother
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Bro can u plz upload a backup file of build.prop of xperia z v2 rom... I tried to change model to play some games bt everi getting force closed now...plz help
[Android General] kashyapawan:
Here is build.prop file for xperia rom v2
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Thank u sooo much brother...thanks alot
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Everybody, I'm thinking of assigning a codename to this device. Since the release, a codename has not been created for it. I would recommend the codename 'LIFIAN' for this device. LIFIAN is an old english word for life. And since some way or the other, kernel sources and a new update, which I have been working on, will come to this device, it will regain life. So, anybody who ports/builds/compiles ROMs for this device, please set the device codename to lifian. That will help to identify this device, just like all the other high-end devices.

Another thing is, I just started a website !

It's called Mediatek ROMs, and will contain ROMs, Recoveries, Guides, Tutorials, etc. about Mediatek, Android and everything in between.

And it has Material design !

You can access it at http://www.mtkroms.cf

Any posts, suggestions, bouquets, brickbats, love or hate will be gladly received. Thanks in advance, and don't forget to check the site out !
[Android General] kashyapawan:
Thanks to all devlopers who made custom recoveries , roms and other for this device or initially started this trend.

I don't want to change my mobile as everybody here know how much time, money and efforts we had already spent on our device. I wish if there will any way so that I can update my device to latest.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Well, there is, and I'm working on it. If my method succeeds, and I'm pretty sure it will, we can port and use Lollipop ROMs on our device.

I just need more time, and more resources.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Bro im facing can't connect to.camera error...what to do?
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Which ROM? Have you tried other Camera apps?
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Xperia z2 and yes tried other camera apps too....no luck
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Try flashing the ROM again using my META-INF files. I mentioned them in an earlier post of mine.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
I think its a hardware problem
[Android General] cybercrawler:
How come you facing this problem dude?I using it currently and so are various other guys.by dar this is the best ROM for our device.Just to tell you I am using it for 2 days and I have not faced such a problem!.Try what [MENTION=5943057]rjt.rockx[/MENTION] says or just try to flash it again!
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
[MENTION=5655789]cybercrawler[/MENTION] Since it is evident from your signature that you bought a Nexus 5, Could you try out some files that I'm developing for this device? Soon, this device will receive Lollipop ROMs too, if my files work out. There are many of these, including boot.IMGs, zImages, META-INF files and some small flashable zip files, most of which are lesser than 10 MB in size, but are a huge development upgrade over the current files. I'm learning the structure of a boot.IMG file for this, and, well, it's huge. To be frank, it might be a few more months before I finish this. But, it depends on the amount of time I get, and the amount of free space in my brain. :D
[Android General] cybercrawler:
Yo dude I'm still on our humble S5+.I made some changes in the build.prop regrading the devices name to fool my friend's. Sorry dude,I lead you into misunderstanding the signature!!!I'm changing it right now XD
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Even though, a Nexus 5? Seriously? You could have gone for Project Tango, or even Samsung Galaxy S7 Active. Dream big, aim big, achieve big.

So, you'll be able to test it or not? Since this is my dad's phone, I only have about 2-3 hours of time with it daily. Moreover, he can't miss his calls, so I get only a few minutes of time when I can do some ACTUAL modifications on it. So, <repeat the previous question I asked at the beginning of the paragraph here> ?
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Sir i want to change device name and model can u guide me?

What changes i need to make? Suggest me a devie name also plz
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yeah. You just need to mess around with some build.prop values.

Here's the list of values you can safely edit :

ro.build.id

ro.build.display.id

ro.build.version.incremental

ro.custom.build.version

ro.build.version.release

ro.product.model

ro.product.brand

ro.product.name

ro.product.device

ro.product.manufacturer

Some might not work, others will. Use a build.prop editor for making these changes.

Also change persist.sys.timezone to Asia/Calcutta
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Device names :

Project Ara

Project Tango

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active

Sony Xperia Z5

HTC One M10

Micromax Canvas Knight Extreme

Google Nexus 11

Motorola Moto Z

etc.

Check out concept-phones.com for more.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Thank you sir but i wnt to olay sm of games that are unsupported on playstore so can u tell me what device name i should use
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
If it requires Kitkat or something, then there's nothing we can do.

Else, you could go with the Nexus 6.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
Amazon says it has an ambient light sensor...!!! How to activate?
[Android General] cybercrawler:
Ambient light sensor is nothing but the sensor which controls the brightness of the device,when using auto brightness.I guess if you are talking about a notification led,then our device does not have.
[Android General] sufie cruise:
No im talking exace what u r talking about... When i switch to auto brightness... It doesn't change....
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Depends on the software. On the stock ROM, it isn't that apparent, because the brightness only varies by 0.2 gradually.

On Xperia ROM v2, it varies by 0.5 i.e. if you go to a place where there is high brightness, it increases by 0.5 gradually. If you go to a place where there is low brightness, it decreases by 0.5 gradually.

Moreover, If you want to change the settings, you can go to the Engineering mode application and browse around for the values, and change them if you want to. Do note that it isn't recommended to do so.

The sensor is built into the front camera, and it is only used for three uses :

1. Auto Brightness

2. Increasing/Decreasing brightness of pictures/videos taken from front camera

3. Auto-switching off the screen while holding the phone to your ear in-call. This works in conjunction with the Proximity sensor to determine this.

It isn't visible to the naked eye because it is embedded into the front camera.
[Android General] sandyworld25:
Which ROM is best for Karbonn S5 plus??
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
For now, Xperia ROM v2.

Later, it will be the Lifian ROM. (Previously Xperia ROM v3)
[Android General] cybercrawler:
Is the lifian ROM under development? I been using xperia V2 and found the UI really dull(no offense),yeah the performance was smooth overall but its just the UI.It feels like outdated.Also I did not find ANY difference between the V2 and Galaxy S5 ROM in terms of performance. I faced random app crashes, not responding stuffs for the past week I am using Xperia V2 but did not face any problem with Galaxy S5,again the UI is some what similar too.So its really suggested to you if you could develop a more like a stock Google experience!

Sent from my Indian Nexus(Titanium S5+)
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yeah. It's going to be a huge update. Follow me on Google + (https://www.google.com/+RajathRanganath-rjt-rockx) for more information.
[Android General] sandyworld25:
Dude i switch about 3 custom ROM but all are Buggy, I found Stock ROM better than i tried one

- Android L v2

- Galaxy Note 3

- Galaxy Note 4

So How can i go with Buggy Custom ROMs.

Does Stock ROM(karbonn Titanium s5 plus) support xposed firmware??

And Is there any best Custom ROM that uses low memory for This phone with no bug , with nice appearance, and with advanced Features??
[Android General] kashyapawan:
Why battery stat wipe through custom recovery is not working on my device. The problem is when I change my discharged battery by another battery it still shows the percentage of old battery even battery stat wipe through custom recovery.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Yeah. Go for Xperia ROM v2 now. Lifian ROM is still in development.

It supports Xposed too.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Try running the Die-Hard Battery Calibrator by zeppelinrox.

That should calibrate your battery.
[Android General] rjt.rockx:
Okay, guys, I think I've had enough of this.

Development for this phone has been eating into all my time, and my grades have drastically decreased. My hands pain from jabbing on the keyboard everyday, and I've been getting headaches lately. The only support I get is from you guys, and I don't think that will help in my situation.

Let's face it, here's the truth.

I'm starting 10th standard now, and as you all must know, this is a very important year for me. I just can't neglect my studies for the sake of this device. I can help, but not everyday, maybe twice or thrice in a month, max. However, to develop for this device, that is a Herculean task.

So, let's say I can come back to development by next year.

By then, this device will have become a legacy device. Android M is going to be released at Google I/O 2015, and our device will be left way behind. Come on, 4.2.2->4.3->4.3.1->4.3.2->4.4.1->4.4.2->4.4.3->4.4.4->5.0->5.0.1->5.0.2->5.0.3->5.1->5.1.1->(Android M)??? Seriously?

Frankly, the Android One devices offer much better value than this, at almost same hardware specs. Simply put, this phone is not worthy enough of the 11290 Rupees Karbonn asked for. No device updates, no kernel sources, no support(official or unofficial), no proper development options, nothing. I tried my best, but it wasn't worth it.

I thought for a whole week, 11 hours and 10 minutes before posting this, and I regret saying this, but I'll have to put a restriction to development for the device. I had a choice, it's not like I was forced to do this, but the available options in the choice were either to focus on studies or focus on this. Damn difficult choice for a 15 yr old teenager like me to handle.

Most of everything I did so far is on the internet, and you can access it anytime. Some data just got deleted in a Hard Drive failure, so there's nothing we can do about that. But, all of that was based on what's available on the internet, so, yeah. You have access to pretty much everything I work with.

Well, I can't live up to everybody's expectations, can I? I'll try to do whatever I can, as long as it doesn't affect my studies as such. Maybe a bit of help every two weeks, some guides or point-me-in-the-right-direction kinda things, or something. But not in the frequency at which I'm doing things now.

And no, I'm not closing this thread or anything, you guys can interact, help each other, post questions, find answers, all that stuff. It's like I'm overclocking my brain, and it's overheated, so I'll have to cool down for a while(decrease development), recharge my batteries(focus on studies), fix my permissions(listen to my parents), install some new apps(learn and study), install a recovery (studies will be something I can fall back on) and then be back.

BTW, sorry.

This is SCRAP. Skip all this and save a few seconds of your precious time.
[Android General] Arun Bansal:
Confused!

Hlo Rjt sir...i am actually confused about u...u did not give any single rom yet for karbonn s5+ and u r saying that u are going to stop development..i respect ur effort but ur actions are just in the wrong way..u could port some good bugless roms but u can't..:confused:
