DESCRIPTION
CHANGELOG 14/01/2015 – KITKAT ELEPHONE G6 V2:
Aroma installer added (many thanks to Amarullz for his awesome work):
– optional launchers:
stock Elephone launcher
APEX launcher (recommended)
NOVA launcher
MIUI launcher
– partition patch included
– GPC configuration set up based on location
added battery optimization focused init.d scripts (merged from Lolli Experimental)
custom boot animation
some more tweaks…
NOTE: I've again divided the ROM into two versions, LITE and FULL.
The LITE version doesn't contain almost any apps like: Email, Calendar etc – as I believe many user (myself included) replace them with apps from Google Playstore.
The FULL version contains (almost) all the Elephone apps – but still with some bloatware removed.
Please, report anything you think that might be a bug to: honzikd+kitkat+v2@gmail.com Or, visit Elephone forum for more help: http://bbs.elephone.hk/?fromuid=2951
How to install:
(Make sure you have custom recovery installed, custom recoveries are: ClockWorkMod, TeamWinProject etc..)
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION MAKE A FULL BACKUP IN RECOVERY
ALSO, REBOOT THE RECOVERY BEFORE YOU START THE ROM INSTALLATION (Many thanks to Mike2957)
1. Place the ZIP to your sd-card
2. Select "Install zip from sd-card" or simmilar from your custom recovery
3. Follow the onscreen instructions
Note: if you select to apply the partition patch, the phone reboots the recovery automatically. After that, select to install the zip again > and select "Keep as it is" option in the patch section
CHANGELOG
Elephone G6 v1.1 by honzikd 2014/12/09
1. fully deodexed and zip-alligned for better performance
2. init.d scripting support
3. battery tweaks: set ART as default runtime, GPU as the primary rendering device
4. LITE VERSION: removed some rarely used apps (Calendar, Browser – as I usually replace them by apps from the from Play Store)
STABLE AND VERY WELL PERFORMING ROM
KNOWN BUGS:
None at the moment
If you think you found a bug, please, report to me: honzikd+needrom+kitkat+v1.1@gmail.com
Please, include logcat or at least well described steps how to reproduce the error.
Flashable zip (for custom recoveries like CWM) based on most current stock KitKat ROM, with sound patch – audio volume levels increased for internal speaker, headphones and handset.
Multilang, rooted, zip-alligned, with preinstalled MTK MobileUncle Tools and SuperSU. Chinese apps wiped out.
HOW TO INSTALL:
Install in custom recovery. (That is not the one which came pre-installed on the phone)
- Place the zip with the ROM to your SDCARD
- Reboot into recovery
- Do a full wipe – factory reset
- Install the ROM zip from SDCARD
- Done!
If you want to increase the system/primary partition size (from 1GB to 4GB), download my patch (see here: https://www.needrom.com/download/mod-increase-primary-partition-to-4gb/) and install it PRIOR the ROM installation.
