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

  For what concerns wifi, everything's normal for me. have you enabled or disabled 3g&wifi tweaks during installer? For the green cam issue, it doesn't depend on me, it's an Elite's bug coming from stock rom which should have been solved AFAIK in 1202 rom I took as a base. Other Elite's users reported it to be solved with v2.0, but I don't have an Elite to check (youth doesn't have such an issue) so I cannot say much about it…

Hi, Sambaaa!
GammaRom 2.0, Iocean x7 Youth
Use prog Callrecorder. Writes outgoing calls, ie it can not determine the start of the outgoing call.
In the FAQ, written most likely in your firmware disabled Logger. It is used to determine the moment of connection for outgoing calls. It is necessary that it be included.
Here further stated that the V6 Supercharger script disables logger. Link to delete the file 12cleaner not work.
Q: how to enable this logger? It is possible to make a patch to enable TWRP logger?
Sorry for bad English (Russia)

  Привет, вы уже удален / system/etc/init.d/02Logger сценарий?
  I removed the script and after flashing 02logger and reboot.Ne helped. May need to archive (zip) to delete the script, and then flashing

  If that app uses logcat you need to delete 12Cleaner, 02Logger and remove "logcat.live=disable" from /system/build.prop entries. After reboot, you should be able to logcat, so that app should then work.

Hi Just wondering.
When I tried to update from 1.5 to 2.0
I didn't get the :
Incremental Upgrade feature implemented
- —Upgrade GammaRom without losing your installed apps and data.
Is there a way so the option appears when I want to upgrade the ROM.
Thank you for your hard work Sambaaa

  Sambaaa on 01/14/2014 @ 3:37 pm
  
  Yeah, that's available for v1.4 > v1.5 upgrade. I made it unavailable in v1.5 > v2.0 because the latter is based on a different base and wouldn't be a good idea to upgrade without wiping datas. Incremental upgrade may be back in the future in case of a v2.1. For more infos see Gamma xda thread http://forum.xda-developers.co.....8;postcount=329

  Sambaaa on 01/14/2014 @ 3:44 pm
  
  Unfortunately no way to do it right now (the same stands for any mtk phone)… 4.4 cannot be built from source because mediatek doesn't release it, at the same time it cannot be ported since no mtk6589 phone is provided of a kitkat rom. Omni rom developers have access to oppo r819 source code and may release kitkat for that device in the future, but with no iocean kernel source and hardware specific stuff, it may be difficult/impossible to build a working 4.4 to our device even if omni releases a buildable source code in the future.

  Hardware keys backlights work only on first youth models, if they were working for you with previows roms, open android terminal emulator and type 'lights up' and lights will be turned on after reboot.

  Sambaaa, thanks for your message,
  i did your orders, but it doesnt work
  the prompt command is "lights on" and "lights off"
  i tried both but nothing changed.
  i think my phone is later version of youth.
  if there is any way to turn them on i wanna know please.
  thanks a lot for your best works.
  best regards.

  open /system/build.prop and check this entry persist.sys.keylight_switch=1. Set it to 1 in case it's set to 0, but if lights don't turn on after reboot there's nothing else you can do; it means your model, as most part of x7, doesn't have leds.
