Hi, I'm Alegibul and this is my first post.
Thankyou for this ROM, very nice.
But I've a problem because I can't enter in engineering mode (mtk) witn mobileuncle or any other app.
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thanks
There's no engineering mode on this ROM.
Another question: Is it possible to add the turn on/of schedule function present in stock roms?
Author wrote: "I won't continue porting / fixing." So, we can't expect further developments.
For sure but maybe someone else will continue, or the author will work again on it if everything is working. Just a matter of time.
i wish this rom could continue…i would love to see lollipop run on THL 5000…
please someone continue this project…
It's not that simple. MediaTek did not public the source code for the chip MT6592 and Android 5.0/5.1. Therefore, it is not available Lolipop for any phone with chip MT6592. Therefore are not custom ROMs based on the Lollipop.

MediaTek these source codes freely does not publish on, but sells them to producers themselves. This is a disadvantage especially for the community and creative programmers what they desire to do some custom ROM and fix bug. MediaTek not earn only a license, but also on their own processors, so it is a much more advantageous prefer not to publish the source code and thus promote sales of new equipment.
Like your sketch ;D
Ok then we should wait for a source. ^^ Someone tried sending a message to MediaTek for source ?
Work good for me, though in Dual Sim mode data connectino is not stable. Single Sim works good so far.
It always use max cpu available, so the phone gets hot. You can use an app to manage the CPU to use less Mhz but it will get slower.
I cannot install this GAPPs, no space available, but could install pico gapps.
It just need little fixes.
@rbarat: You say a lollipop ROM is not possible for MT6592 devices. But here Meecrob made one. I hope someone continues his great work!
See how much serious mistakes has that ROM. The author wrote that will not be repaired. The reason is exactly what I wrote.
@rbarat
No, thats not true. If the source rom (from fire855) gets bugfree, a bugfree version for our thl5000 isn't that hard to create. And fire855 just wrote that he is "currently working on a fully working CM12.1 for our phone"…
I think the big problem is the kernel. Even if the Rom works withouth bugs, we are using the 4.4 kernel from KK, this way the Rom cant be optimized well on our phone.
Danny94, exactly!
I have the rom installed three days and so far everything ok. True that warms a bit and has minor bugs but nevertheless gives to use normally! Congratulations for the excellent work Meecrob
then what has happened with this rom ? You can not resolve errors?I simply need my phone every day and I can't afford a second one just for development. No donations so far, so…
You dont work again on it ? Never ? Or you cant because you have no free time ?
Meecrob wrote clearly in the introduction:"As I depend on my phone nearly every day and can't afford another one, I won't continue porting / fixing".
Why, therefore, you ask?
sorry to now that , maybe rbarat can helps us in this rom, ure the best thnks for all suport
@rbarat: For sure but he wrote it before he fixing bugs… so we couldnt now …
Someone with some porting experience should help meecrob if he can’t port.It’s not a big job just somr minor bugs have to be fixed
Meecrob has done a great job so far ad i give my thanks to him for porting this rom.
If no one continues maybe Fire855 relese us a well working CM distribution. They working on it here.
everything went well though when I want to use the camera tells me to insert sd card to download photos from whatsapp it is a problem with the internal memory please help thanks
