No, frankly I trust GApps the hell of a lot more than the Mediatek apps (MtkMms - messaging, MtkCalendar, MtkBrowser etc etc.) as Google is far more likely to patch security holes in apps than Mediatek. Additionally the Material Design implementation in GApps is a lot more complete than in Mediatek or AOSP versions - e.g. in MtkMms the 'Toolbar' at the top is actually the old Theme.Holo ActionBar and not the Theme.Material Toolbar (as shown by the dimensions, the Toolbar is a bit taller than the ActionBar).
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Lactury:
I'm sorry if I made you misunderstand. I am not talking about system apps. I want to use MicroG services instead of the GApps services - so the correct question would be if GApps services are optional.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
GApps are bundled in the ROM, so no, the same goes for all custom ROM's that are based off of the Elephone stock ROM's as all of them contain some GApps (GMSCore, PlayStore etc). If you wish to use MicroG instead then you need to manually remove GApps.

Battery saver settings

Hi Jonny,

great work, keep it up! One question/demand: in Deepflex's Aerom V5, there is an additional setting in the Battery section of settings where you can choose 3 different power modes (High Performance, Balanced, Battery Saver). I kinda think this is related to CPU clock frequency/resource governor. Any idea if you can add this or something similar to your DarkSense ROM? Or does somebody have a recommendation from Play Store for a similar app (there are some of them, just wanted to know if somebody uses one of those and can recommend it)?

Cheers,

Helmut
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ru5k:
Sure. No thread though. Regular play store app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixkart.arcus

Heads-up might be deprecated soon by the Layers Manager successor Substratum.

Also these told me DarkSense was missing a theming engine.

Did you by any chance remove all the commits in cm13 for their theming engine or for Sony's OMS in AOSP for v6.0.0>+?

Dialer app, wallpaper lock screen

1. Hello, I installed this rom. But I haven't dialer. Why?

If I have incoming or outgoing call I cannot accept or cancel the call. Why? Have you any idea? I restored backup from Titanium.

2. How can I change wallpaper of lock screen? I have gravity box, but not working lock screen change.

Since v3.2.0 you have to set the Google Telephone App as Default app via Settings -> Apps -> Press the Settings Gearwheel in the upper right corner -> Default Apps -> Telephone.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
1. Read post #2 - this is you not reading, not a bug.

2. You need to set Launcher 3 as the default launcher, then use that to set the lock screen wallpaper. Once that's done if you were using Nova you can switch back to it.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
This won't work as it is for CyanogenMod ROM's only, stock AOSP ROM's obviously do not contain CM Theme Manager.

In Multitasking the "X" buttons take a second to show up. It's the only ROM in which this happens. :)

Nothing special, but maybe something for the next update.

Also, did you check out the Source Code by Elephone? They wanted to update it, because it didn't work. Maybe they've done it already. :)

Still my favorite ROM yet! Thanks a lot for it!!

Probably a stupid question here.

I'm stuck at the first step of the installation process.

Right after the welcome screen, I'm asked to press Next to continue the install and nothing happens.

I install Jonny s recovery but the downloaded file signature check appears incorrect (signature check within recovery).

Is that expected ?

thanks in advance
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ShiRaZ1988:
Maybe you write it down on the first page under "Bugs - Less important" ?? :) Or (if you can) activate it by default on the next update?!

That's because you didn't read on, on the first page.

You need to use Vol+/- buttons to navigate. Simply press Vol+ and then power button to continue. On the other steps (after that) you'll need to find out yourself. ;)
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jutaieb:

And the bug in genral

thx
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
GPS frankly seems to depend on luck, I managed to get a decent chip in my device it seems so GPS works perfectly fine for me, screenshots posted a couple of pages ago.

However, another user posted screenshots showing poor performance so it really does seem like luck of the draw.

For other bugs, read up a few posts/last couple of pages.

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
As far as I'm aware yes, I don't own a fast charger myself.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ShiRaZ1988:

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
Did you push Next with your finger or did you follow the instructions and push volume down twice then power to advance?

99% of problems users are having with Aroma are due to them not reading the instructions I provided...
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] azooz2015:
Ok i will try do it thx agin
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jutaieb:
no offense, but if so many people don't understand your instructions that might mean that the instructions are not fully clear :o
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
Thus proving that users don't read...

I said in my post that the problems are due to users not reading, not that they don't understand them when they eventually do read them ;)
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jutaieb:
Just speaking for myself, I read the instruction from day 1. They are not clear to me and I finally gave up. I may be slightly stupid, but I managed to install all other ROMs with no significant issue.

I'm now running CM13.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
Which screen did you get stuck on and what part of the instructions are unclear?
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jutaieb:
do we agree that those :

1 x Volume Up = Next

2 x Volume Up = Back

3 x Volume Up = Focus on the list (as in wipe and mod options etc)

From there use Volume down and power as select to select the ones you want.

When you reach the bottom of the list:

1 x Volume Down = Back

2 x Volume Down = Next

are the instructions ?

If so, I see 7 bullets supposedly associated to 7 steps.

1st step : 1 x Volume Up = Next

I don't see any indication that we should validate with the power button.

but, ok, I got that info from the thread.

what to do as a second step ie to accept the terms ?

"2 x Volume Up = Back"

probably not. Does not make sense.

So I guessed that

"1 x Volume Up = Next" what the proper choice, but I had no luck.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] C.G.B. Spender:
I am also unable to progress through the AROMA installer. I read the instructions, but the buttons stop working randomly and I am never able to get past the screen with the checkbox.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ShiRaZ1988:
Just keep on pressing Vol+/- (!) and if you want to "(de-)activate", use the power button. For me it seems like the Vol+ button is for going up and the Vol- for going down. For the double ++ or -- actions, i don't know. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, so not sure what is this double +/- for.

For especially the checkbox screen:

If you're on the checkbox, press power button to check, then double - and power (i think) to continue.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qPeewster:
Ok, so i've tried like allot of combinations, maybe it would be easier to install this rom without the aroma installer :)

up and down work but the do not show what the current selection is and when i came to the GPS settings it got stuck 3 times now.

[EDIT]

Ok so got it figured out, for me the following order worked 2 times in a row:

1: 1x up -> power btn

2: 3x up -> power btn to check box, then 3x down -> power btn for next

3: 2x up (Rom installation) -> power btn

4: 1x up -> power btn

5: 1x up -> power btn

6: 1x up -> power btn

Installing......

If you get the (popup) about, quit installation, back, choose back. The selector get's resetted and you can try again.

So for example:

You did 3x down but got the popup, choose back, try again. Again the popup? choose back and try 4x down + power btn
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ShiRaZ1988:
Has gone through the installation once again. This was my installation order.

1: 1x up, power

2: 3x up, power, 1x up, power

3: 2x up, power

4: 1x up, power

5: 2x up, (depends on fix) vol- for selection/to go down the list, 1x power for activate, vol- until marking is gone, vol+, power

6: 1x up, power

Also when you get that little menu, just go vol- to "back" and proceed.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] C.G.B. Spender:

It's based on a stock ROM so of course the home button works.

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
Remember if you're using the new preloader and lk images from the 20160810 ROM to flash DarkSense kernel immediately after the ROM, otherwise the phone will not get past the boot logo.

If you haven't flashed the new preloader and lk then nothing to worry about :)
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GoJo ^^:
I think I did. But then I installed CM13.. So..?
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
If you installed CM13 from build 8 onwards then you would have the new images (otherwise you wouldn't be able to boot it. If so then you need to flash DarkSense kernel immediately after the ROM.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] GoJo ^^:
Alright. Tell me, what's the kernel partition, "boot"?
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
Kernel is part of the boot.img file (kernel and ramdisk form the boot.img) so goes to the Boot partition.

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
If it gets stuck after the ROM has installed then press and hold power to force a reboot, then press and hold power and volume up to force a reboot into TWRP where you can flash the DarkSense kernel to get out of the bootloops.

If it gets stuck before the ROM is installed can you tell me where? And are you sure its stuck and not just waiting for the correct button set to advance to the next screen?

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
Here's the thing. The latest TWRP won't work unless you flash new preloader and lk images in the 20160810 stock ROM - something that has been widely documented, same thing with custom kernels.

Now I might be missing something here but as my TWRP thread is a DevDB thread, if you go to the downloads page, all previous uploads should still be there (unless I deleted them but I dont think so). You should easily be able to find 3.0.2-6.
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] azooz2015:

Dear Jonny

Your Aroma the worst thing that I ever see.

First step I passed with touch and power button, on the section of "Term Of Use" the phone hung at all.

There is no way to do anything.

Why you make it so complicated.

I used the Aroma in Huawei devices it's something totally deference.

So I coudn't install your ROM
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] skeleton1911:

There is no touch because Aroma has not the New touch drivers.

[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sur.:
No, it's really bad.

Once I reach till finish then I make 1xVolume Up + power button, phone hung. I don't know what happened.

Then I got boot loop. Then I flashed again, reach installing section, then asked to choose Save log or Next.

I thought that next should be 1xVolume Up + power and did it, phone hung again now I am sitting next to the phone and waiting.

Why one time the "Next" is "1xVolume Up + power" but another time no??????????

P.S.

Now finally after 3rd attempt I could reach "Finish", so what I have to push?

Because after 1xVolume Up+ power phone hang
[Elephone P9000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jonny:
If it hangs after it finishes installing then just force a reboot by holding down power.

If it enters a boot loop after this it's because you are using the new preloader and lk images, the fix for it is to flash my DarkSense kernel immediately and it will work.

You could have found this out by looking over the last couple of pages in this thread...
