DESCRIPTION
THL 5000 Lite ROM 2.1 - all Lite ROMs are very fast and smooth, there is no lagg of any kind, works perfect, fast and smooth. Based on stock kernel 1.1.2. In my opinion, this is currently the best ROM.
This is the third version of the Lite ROM (1.0, 2.0, 2.1) from excellent ukrainian author Dimid/iv2012 (see below this post and please donate him on WebMoney, if you have an account there). It's a pity that Dimid hasn't Paypal. ROM advantages are: pure Android, small size, simplicity, speed and low battery consumption. ROM is ROOTed, GAPPS are included, OTG works. Dimid gave me permission to upload ROM here. I prepared a little bit modified version where removes residual cyrillic, added missing translates and made a few small changes (see changes). I'm excited from this ROM - I have installed Gravity Box through which I set what I need.
Languages: Multilanguage
Installation: (as usually from TWRP)
1 – save the ROM file Lite_v2.1_Odex_2.zip on the SD card
2 – jump to TWRP recovery, if you haven't it, install it (installation instructions are here, sorry in slovak language only,use Google translator): http://androidforum.cz/twrp-2-7-1-0-root-pre-thl-5000-t57731.html
3 – click Wipe and select items: Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data, Int.SDcard (optional) and Android Secure, then click Swipe to Wipe
4 – click on Install, choose ROM file Lite_v2.1_Odex_2.zip and install it – click Swipe to Install, then click Reboot System
5 – enable notification LED in Settings/Display/Led switch -> Enable what you want
6 – enable Adblock in Settings/Additional Settings/Adblock -> Enable (Download and apply blocking)
7 – finish
8 - If you will install Gravity Box, do not forget change default setting in Phone tweaks/Telephony/Fullscreen caller photo, set it to Partial and restart phone (otherwise no hangup button on incoming calls)
9 - Do not change the default value in the Settings/Developer options/Animator duration scale, always must be set min. to 0.5x (otherwise Dialer won't work correctly)
Do not play with Lock button in Settings/Additional Settings/Download EPO.dat! For normal operation it required an internet connection at the time of GPS launch! I do not use EPO function and GPS fix works quickly and well. I recommend do not use this option. If someone wanted to use this feature, here are instructions in russian language (use Google translator) - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=592576&view=findpost&p=42175265
Optional patches (Important: Install it in TWRP: click on Install, then click Wipe Cache/Dalvik, finally click Reset to system):
- Kernel110_old_disp_fixed.zip - core for old display type (install when your Gama is different from value 2.0)
- Unlock_VolKey.rar - unpack RAR archive, will get two ZIP files, first enable display unlocking by the volume buttons, second revert it back (if you use Gravity Box, works key Volume- only)
- Unlock_Profiles_Lite2.1_1.zip - add a new option "More Ringtones" for selection of ringtones from MP3 albums on your SD card (Settings/Audio profiles/profile name/Ringtone/Sim/1st option "More Ringtones"
- Modems.rar - unpack RAR archive, will get two ZIP files, first install 900Mhz 3G modem, second install standard 850Mhz 3G modem (I think the 850 MHz modem works better, but someone want to me 900Mhz, so added)
- SMS_icon.zip - change the icon of the SMS application to standard
How to set a custom mellodies:
Custom mellody for SMS notification
1. give e.g. MP3 file to folder "Notifications" on SD card.
2. Then set it in Settings/Audio profiles/General/Notifications
Custom mellody as Ringtone

Dr_Rock.
If I use 900 MHz I download data from 2 to 5 Mb / s, depending on the time of day. With all other frequencies I have less or nothing at all. I swichw the frequencies with mobileuncle. If it was true that hardware not supporting this frequency it would not be possible.
Look here.
Let's have a look what these symbols say:
G = 1G (GPRS)
E = EDGE (2.5G)
3G =3G
H (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) = 3.5G (HSPA+), HSPA 14.4 (really just a 3G standard, marketed as 4G)
4G=4G
In order of speed: 4G > H > 3G > E
is disk encryption supported?
I have Brick, for me this ROM can not be used in future….
red LED lights up, not responding… very cool
??? Do not understand….
Why I can't use SCR on this Rom?
I do not know what is SCR…
Is there any theme engine that will work on this rom? I know that the idea is fast and light but it is the only thing I really miss.
The basic idea of this ROM is simplicity. Therefore not implemented theme manager.
Thank you for this ROM. I came from "Hydroid OS" stock ROM of THL 5000 phones sold by Novo 7 Tech in the Philippines. I'll miss the multi-user feature from this Hydroid OS ROM.
I have one issue though, I can't seem to remove an app icon/widget from any of the home screens on the launcher that came with the ROM. You have to long press the icon/widget until they float then drag them to the trash icon (either on top or below the screen, depending on the launcher), right? There's no trash bin icon on mine anywhere.
UPDATE: There is an area just below the wifi and battery icons where you can drag the app icons/widget until they turn red and they will be deleted.
Install second launcher – I use Nova.
Use instructions from aquilegia.
I'll just leave this here (for newbies like me):
If you're having an error in Gravitybox: "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting."
1.) Uncheck Gravitybox from the Xposed framework modules.
2.) Uninstall GravityBox [KK].
3.) Set your app to install in internal: Settings > Storage > Preferred install location > Internal device storage.
4.) Re-install and activate GravityBox [KK] (follow reboot sequences)
5.) Open GravityBox [KK].
6.) Put back your preferred installation location
Basically set the preferred install location of apps to internal before installing GravityBox. (I was using SD card as default storage because of some traumatic sh*t going on Hydroid OS ROM)
**moving the app to Internal storage will not work.
I'm standard install Gravity Box, didn't nothing special and normally working.
After downloading and turning ON module GP is only required reboot, that's all.
I'm using it since 8.10.2015 and is the best rom I have ever experienced on the 5000.
Fast, fluid slim … i use it unpatched and is so perfect.
Thank you very much
I agree. In my opinion the best ROMs for THL 5000 are: Lite ROM and Ultimate ROM. Lite ROM I already use for four months - without any problem.
This ROM is awesome in batery performance!
