I know you will be love it, but many bugs have still same on lollipop rom like reddish front camera etc.

Here some screenshot of this rom.

You can install Cm12 theme but some app not link with theme, and just UI like COOS UI.

I think if our devs do some work on it cm12 themes will really link with all aps

Stable ROM recommendations

Hi all, I've been following this thread as I have two Jiayu S3 Advanced phones on their way for myself and the wife. I like to tweak and am happy to try different ROMs but the wife just wants hers to work and is a bit of a technophobe. She is currently using a Oneplus One with Cyanogen/Kitkat and is used to the layout etc(I upgraded to lollipop when oneplus released it but she didn't like it so downgraded back to kitkat). Which ROM would you recommend as the most stable/useasble for a daily driver? The stock S3SW ROM or something like PURE ASOP? (I've been looking through the options on needrom) I note that the ll5.1 build by superdragonpt is getting some good feedback and will likely try that on mine but it would save me some headaches and leg work if someone could point me in the right direction for the wife. Thanks in advance.

i think they has replace cm12 apps with COOS apps and framework. So bad changed, why they not just release cm12 rom.

Try the s3s rom, it is kitkat and pretty stable, but it doesn't come with gapps, however they aren't too hard to install.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
I kinda lost track of what is being done and for which version. The english to chinese translation is so messed up that my confusion is perfect.

Questions:

1. cm12.1?! Wtf?! Where is this info from? When did they opt for cm12.1?

2. which version is actually supported? Neither rom3 (superdragonpt release as well) nor this one here mentions the basic version as supported.

3. which one is the latest LL release for the basic version?

Sry, to ask so many questions :)

Btw: if new base is cm12.1 we will be able to change the theme on the go I reckon.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Levered:
1. Maybe, because we can change theme using CM12 themes.

2. I think it's beta 2 rom.

3. 1st July version, i using this now after revert back from NEW UI Rom.

For the price I think the JY-S3 will be hard to beat so I'm willing to take a chance, what have you been using recently? Personally I've got a galaxy s3(>2 years) and Moto G 4G(<1 year) so the JY should be a big jump in performance for me and the dual sim will be quite handy too I hope. I also watched ITX's review of the ecoo e04 aurora and it also looks damn good for about $10 less. Last year I almost bought the zopo zp999 but missed my chance when the price shot up again so decided to spend less and go for the JY.

I don't see any possible reason to create and maintain big online store and accept PayPal (which will always be on the buyer side, ban seller if he will receive many complaints and you have to wait for weeks to withdraw money as seller). What's the point of such scam? Where is profit here?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] charliepie:
guess you just have to run the usual benchmarks(cpu-z, antutu etc) and compare the specs with other owners.

Looking forward to see further development with club1941.com.

Some of their prices are simply unreal, even without coupon used.

In my opinion they could have gotten enough new customers with slightly lower prices and good and smart advertising, good customer suport.. These prices are unbeliavable and are producing huge losses for the reseller if not a scam. The website name is very strange. Why would you name your business with such a huge name 1941 if you want to be easily googled?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aliya.dicaprio:
Ya, I'm waiting some reviews too. I've placed an order in Aliexpress. The price is more than $180 for the basic version.. still in doubt though should I cancel my order and place a new order on club1941 for the 3GB version with lower price.. or should I continue my current order.. but their lack of reviews makes me worry..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
Just did that yesterday. I wanted to watch a 3D AC3 movie using MX player. The player can play the video but the audio is not supported. I googled up and found a thread here at XDA with the exact same tutorial.

http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254

If anyone want to watch 3D videos on this phone using google cardboard, and the videos are stretched up, just use custom resolution on MX Player and set it to 32:9 or 32:10, then pinch it in to make it smaller. Many 3D demo videos on youtube are stretched so they need to be downloaded and use this trick to make them watchable.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
Fake phones usually use cheaper components, so their performance would be much worse than the original. The most obvious thing is the benchmark result (antutu, geekbench, etc).

Specs can be manipulated and fool most people. I have a fake Mi 4 that shows all the original specs on antutu and cpu z, but the reality it's a mtk6582 phone with 1280 x 720 screen and 1 GB of RAM. It even has a genuine anti-fake sticker that can be checked online. But when I checked the security number, it had been checked for more than 200 time. This means there are more than 200 phones already with the same security number.

The phone only scores 18.000 on antutu, so it's very obvious it's a fake.

Some advices:

Before purchasing:

- Read the feedback of the store, look for the negative ones and how the seller reply to them

- Don't pay directly to the seller. Aliexpress and Paypal has buyer protection.

- Ask the seller for originality and record his reply. This can be used as proof if the phone turns out to be a fake.

- Look for out-of-place details on the store's pictures like in the screen shots below Those pics were displayed on the seller store AFTER the seller shipped the phone to me. When I confronted him, he admitted the phone is a fake and then took down the pics.

- Search the market price of the phone. If a store sells it way below the market price, most likely it's fake

After purchasing:

- Compare it physically with the original one if available

- Run some benchmarks

- Check the anti-fake sticker online, if any
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Kazama Levi:
Club1941's offer of $171 with coupon is just 152€, very tempting indeed for the 3GB version, especially since the prices of the official stores in Europe are much higher (and that's the 2GB version only):

ejiayu.it (Italy): 209€

jiayu.es (Spain): 225€ (16€ more for nothing?)

jiayu.de (Germany): 249€ (40€ more? What a massive rip-off :silly: )

Is this serious, or is it just too good to be true?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aliya.dicaprio:
Wow that's a very serious rip-off.. Thank you for your very brief explanation. And I'm sorry for your Mi Phone. So what did you do to your Mi? Did you ask your money back?

And I guess I have to check all the things upon my phone's arrival. the seller just shipped my order today (the same seller as yours). the coversation went all good. I hope the phone is original. Before the seller ship my order, it crossed my mind to cancel the order and placed a new order in club 1941.. but idk..maybe it's just my feeling that their offer sounds too good to be true...and I dont want to risk anything . But I hope they're honest seller that maybe I'll purchase next order from them.. I'm waiting for some reviews [emoji1]

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
I'm sure you'll get an original phone, no need to worry.

About the fake Mi4, i got a partial refund. The seller asked me to send back the phone, but apparently the post office can't ship mobile phones, its their policy. In the end I only need to pay Rp 470.000 for a fully functional phone.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aliya.dicaprio:
That's not bad.. I think you're lucky after all.. you got a clone but at least it's cheap but works [emoji1]

And btw, do you mean Pos Indonesia wont ship cell phones? If something happened to my phone, it means I can't send it back?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
It's mostly because of Aliexpress' buyer protection and dispute system. If your purchase at Aliexpress is problematic, you can open a dispute. Most sellers would try to solve the issue without you opening a dispute, because the need to maintain their reputation. Make sure you have enough evidences to back up your claim before opening a dispute.

Yup, it's the biggest risk of buying phones from abroad, you have to take it "as it is". Maybe DHL or UPS could send it, I don't know for sure, but the problem is their rate is very high, and the receiver most likely would need to pay tax.

The best thing to do before buying is, read the reviews, look for any potential problems. Also ask the seller to check the phone thoroughly before shipping. I cancelled my Umi Zero order because I read many people were having problems with it.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
CM? : sounds good choice

If cm12 really is the base then that sure will help some developer with access to source to turn it into pure cm12.1, and next thing for users is to choose UI theme as one pleases. As for remaining LP 'bugs': those can be addressed in parallel.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Metrino:

USB connection problem

Take 2: phone can be connected only in 2 cases:

Charge the phone while it is off (can't charge at all while it is on)

Can connect using SPFT and change ROM

I have changed several ROMs (KK, LP) including full format, no hope.

Can't connect in recovery (neither charge nor data)

If phone is connected to computer while booting, then it's being recognized for a short while, and then the connection is off when phone is up (charge and data).

I'll be happy to donate the one who resolves the issue.

is phone seen with adb?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Not Based on CM at all.

But it seems they've ported some of CM apps/ frameworks

Not sure about your question...

Lollipop Roms, are "pure" AOSP from mainstream, of course, with the proper MTK (necessary) aditions, and device specific features.

Even the new MTK (LP kernel 3.10xx ; rom ) source is now AOSP based
