Rooting, custom recovery and fixing WhatsApp/Widgets

Just to put everything into one place on how to root and fix the issue where background services from widgets or WhatsApp stop working after a while. I know there is already a root method mentioned in this thread but I think this way might be easier for people who are comfortable flashing.

Custom Recovery & Rooting:

- Download the ROM from here. You basically only need the recovery.img but if you want you can also flash the whole thing (it will modify your boot animation though) since it also contains Xposed. Instructions on how to flash are in the link itself.

- If you only flashed the recovery.img, you need to root. You do this from the recovery so boot into the recovery (Power + Vol+ button) and Install the SuperSU update you can download from here.

Reboot and you should have both a custom recovery and root now.

Fixing Widgets/WhatsApp and co:

The ROM will not terminate system apps so by converting apps to system apps you can solve the issue of widgets or notifications that stop working.

- Download Lucky Patcher (gotta google it), install it and grant it root access

- Choose which apps you want to "fix", i.e. your weather widget. Tap on that --> Tools --> Convert to System App (this is from memory, could be slightly different wording)

- Reboot once you are done converting the apps you want

Optimized rom if any one wants to try it

What's up guys, So I've been playing around with some linux kitchens and rewriting some old performance scripts to update them to work for our device. I have been able to create a de-odexed, de-bloated, rooted, busyboxed, xposed, stock rom with build prop tweaks and init.d scripts and true 64bit sound proccessing that really helps with the lag issues. I can play Vainglory at 60FPS now which is why I originally set out to do. If you guys want I can post a zip flash file. Only a couple of tweaks and I got the Antutu to stay at 30-31k all day with 16 hours of hard gaming battery life. De-odexing also fixed all the apps not starting on boot and i added 90 different ringtones/alarms/system sounds from cm13 and motox. I'll attach a copy of the build prop but don't try to use it with out flashing. let me know if you guys are interested.

Hi m0nt3s,

Yes, please do post the optimized ROM.

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] m0nt3s:
It's still in beta but if you want to help test it out I'll post a link along with a video, you have to flash the system IMG with so and then flash 2 zips in cwm to make it work so still trying to fix that.
[Device Reviews and Information] Wowax:
hi m0nt3s

i woud like the optimized ROM too

can you post the link

thx for the work :)
[Device Reviews and Information] m0nt3s:
Finally here

So I finally got the optimized rom to run everytime. I flash it, the only problem is that you have to install google maps after the fact if you want it. It hits 33k stable every benchmark with antutu. I'm uploading it to my dropbox. Use SP FLASH TOOLS and flash system.img, boot.img, and CWM recovery. your going to have to reflash super su and busybox from recovery if you want but this rom has been cleaned up and it performs a hell of a lot better than stock. let me know if you have any problems or questions.

Flashable Optimized Stock Rom

Alright, So I finally worked out all the bugs and created a recovery flashable zip. Some changes that I made.

This rom is now rooted with busybox. de-odexed so if you want to change anything you can without any problems. I added 50 new ringtones and changed that annoying stock one. the system sounds are from a nexus 7, and now all process start up with the phone. I cleaned out pretty much all the bloat which was mostly google stuff, I left the play store so if you want gmail or maps just download it from the store. The reason our phone was so laggy was just all the bloatware. I also added some custom init.d support with scripts and beefed up the build.prop. I've run Antutu bench mark 5 times in a row after flashing the zip 5 times and I consistently hit 33k where the stock rom from cubot struggles to get 25k. I had to create a new dropbox because the other one is full. the only thing you need to reflash if you want it is xposed framework which I've included in the dropbox. I also included some audiomods which really bring the sound to life. I've tested the **** out of this rom to make it work but if you find any problems let me know and I'll try to figure it out but I'm confident in using this and do use it every day.

[MENTION=7002998]m0nt3s[/MENTION]

Thanks for posting ROM-package. Did flash system.img, boot.img, and CWM recovery.

Unfortunately restart ended up in a boot loop. Meanwhile i flashed the supported preloader also and now i get error 4032 using Vol- and Pwr Button, see attached. I have the feeling it's probably the USB driver.

Any Ideas?

Background Apps

Finally solved issue and flashed preloader.

Flashed system zip file with CWM from SD card without any issues.

Main problem of original ROM that Background Apps are stopped by chance is not solved.

However configure them manually as system app with eg link2sd helps.

Android boot up screen is a bit on the toy side...

..i am wondering if there is good alternative rom.

Hi,

anybody there, who can explain?

I copied the Cubotx15.zip to the sd-card. (not so easy!) Runs only, when you have it in phone.

Startet (stock) recovery and chose apply update from sdcard.

I chose cubotx15.zip, pressed power-button

Now: --Install /sdcard/cubotx15.zip...

Opening update package...

Installation aborted.

That`s what happend.

Hello guys...if someone is still here :)

My X15's usb port does not work for some reason (charging works) and i need to flash a new rom onto it to bypass lock screen pin. I bought the 15 as "does not power on" and repaired it to the point it runs, i just can't get past the lock screen. as the USB also does not work ...the only option to flash it is trough SD card. Does this work with the x15? I had no luck so far...

[X Style (Pure) General] ziich:
But for 20 bucks more you get double the memory. Add a leather back and your done for $500 or maybe even less!
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Would be cool and mean most would likely buy the 64Gb for $450, but I recall a few of the media at the launch asking and Moto reps said $50 bumps for the other two storage sizes. That would mean $450 for the 32Gb and $500 for the 64GB. Seems no way Moto would price that low and would eat into margins like a "sumbich' and make no pricing sense from a consumer elasticity standpoint. They could charge more, sell the same volume and make a lot more money, since the margins are not enough to sway most consumers at those prices. If a market is that price sensitive, they would be buying the lower tier models anyway.
[X Style (Pure) General] SchmidtA99:
I think Motorola needed to do something drastic. Since there sales haven't been that great the last few years. Considering htc and samsung sales aren't as good as they thought. This wouldn't be the bs storage upgrades that samsung and apple have.

Tom's Hardware has the info given from Motorola in a Play and Pure/Style article released today and shows as the Moto reps said on some of the media launch videos:

If you have a lot of apps the storage is nice. Newer 3d games take up 1.5gb of space. My Note 4 32gb is as full as I can get it and still update apps, but I have over 15gb more games I can't install since no space.

[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Depends on how many apps you have and especially games that can be almost 2gb.

My 32gb has only enough space to allow updates, so hoping the Moto X Pure does not have Dracula for a display feeding off the 3000mah battery. I'm really hoping this to be a good device, so can purchase from a company who acknowledge the value consumers see in having the sd slot.

But when Android M Rolls out, true SD card support will be added. SD cards will be usable as any other internal memory is used in these devices.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
True and more the reason to have both internal and external storage and have more than just internal. There is supposed to be an option in M to still treat external as separate from apps. I would choose that with a 64gb Moto X.
[X Style (Pure) General] zatokie:
It would be nice to have dual SD card slots after M rolls out as well. That way one could be formatted for the apps and extra phone storage and one for quickly interchangeable media.
[X Style (Pure) General] NardVa:
To put storage in your phone it cost phone makers about $7 per 16GB of storage. To go from a 16GB base model to 32GB model should cost $25 extra at the most.

Right. Cause no manufacturer wants to increase there profit margin. lol

With Lenovo's moves with layoffs and killing Motorola's software and hardware integration departments, I'm wondering if this is even released with much effort or service and support. Lenovo tends to be weak in those regards.

[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
I could be wrong but I think class 6 is the maximum that smartphones can handle anything more is just wasted extra.

However you will only notice the real difference if you copy files to and from your SD Card. I copy files from my Tablet to PC and I notice the crazy fast speed (Its a class 10) when transfering files.

But tbh I always buy class 10 now. Its not really that much more money compared to nornal SD cards.

i feel like 32 is the smartest choice since you can put sd card and masrshmallow soon but , on my s2 i can't download or update anything anymore since like 9 months so i am paranoid and scared (lol)for life concerning storage so even if my mind says to go with 32, my finger will probably twitch last second to slect the 64 mb lol

Bought the 64 myself because I plan on using it to record 4k video. There are (to my knowledge) no 128 gig microSD cards fast enough to record 4k to, so I'll have to record it to the phone's memory. Better to have some space for that eventuality.

I only bought the 64gb because there was no 128gb option. ? Plus when the next big phone comes out, the 64gb Pure will be worth more.
