Iocean x7

GammaRom

Developed by Sambaaa

58 different languages supported!

Hello everybody, I prepared a new custom rom compatible with ANY Iocean x7 based on latest stock firmware for Iocean Elite (02/12 version). I implemented Aroma Installer from Gamma v1.2 onwards and rom zip is now the same for any Iocean x7 (Youth, Youth Turbo, Plus, Elite).

GammaRom Thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469671

Report there your feedbacks both positive or negative, they'll help me to improve this rom in the future!

Read carefully first two posts in GammaRom thread on xda forum before flashing in order to get the best experience using this rom:

post #1 is related to rom's features and installation instructions
post #2 contains a brief post-installation guide on how to configure it at best.

If you appreciate my work and this rom, you can always support me offering me a coffee clicking on

button. It'll help during my sleepless nights spent developing for this device

If you are disgusted by my work and find this rom simply ridiculous, well…you can still offer me a coffee in order to work harder and better to improve it

Installation guide

Quote:

To flash this rom you need a custom recovery as CWM or TWRP. You can download TWRP for all Iocean from here.
Otherwise if you prefer CWM, download this CWMrecovery.img for Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo or this one for Iocean x7 Plus/Elite and flash it through MobileUncleTools app.
I strongly recommend you to take a Nandroid Backup before flashing this (or any other) rom. I recommend you to backup your IMEI too. To do this you can simply write both IMEI on a piece of paper (you can find them in Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI information)

To install it, follow these simple steps:

Download zip file of the rom (see Download section) and put it in your sdcard - PUT IT IN EXTERNAL SD IF YOU WANT TO REPARTITION
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data (factory reset if you're using CWM), wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (advanced section in CWM) - DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
Install rom zip from sdcard/external sdcard and follow Aroma installer wizard

Aroma installer will give you the possibility to repartition internal sdcard (more available space for apps).
If you choose "Do nothing" option, go to point #6 of this guide
If you choose "Repartition" follow instructions in the spoiler below:

Repartitioning Intructions

Select Show

Follow Aroma instructions and reboot once finished
Be patient, first boot may take longer than usual
Read post #2 to get the best from this rom (do not skip this)
Enjoy

  Thank you, I'm thinking whether to slightly theme it (Kitkat style for example) or leave it with iocean stock look. I like iocean rom look, but maybe people get bored without any change

Hello Sambaa,
I just flashed your ROM and it seems to works very stable
But there is something strange. It's not possible to start Google Now anymore, message from the widget is, Google Now is not available and I don't get the Google Now welcome screen in case I start the Google Search App. Also Google Earth isn't compatible to my phone after flashing your ROM. Both was running with the latest official ROM without any problems
Is there a way to fix it ?
Many thy in advanced
Marcus

  Strange, both Google Now and Earth work fine for me. Maybe you could try to reflash rom with full wipe, because I've never heard of such a issue before.

  …not sure I got what you meant with 'rome slow', but if you explain in detail I could somehow help you. Anyways bad performances are 99% of the times due to crappy apps

If you still have the first version of the rom running and you want to upgrade, do you need to do a full wipe ( data, cache, dalvik cache and system)?

  yes, it's mandatory for everyone except those running v1.4 because it's embedded inside installer (no matter what you wipe, I set the installer so that it wipes everything anyways). If you want you can wait for v2.0 which will be released in the next days.

  For what concerns stock roms, it depends, sometimes from iocean official forum, sometimes not. 1202 rom comes from a russian forum, but it has been recently posted here on needrom too.
  Talking about your phone, how partitions get mounted mainly depends on /system/bin/vold /system/etc/vold.fstab and ramdisk. If it's a port, try to replace bin/vold with stock one, of course setting proper permissions. If it doesn't work, I suggest you to give a deeper look to ramdisk and vold.fstab
