DESCRIPTION
Hi!
**********
*** In v8, receiving SMS (text) does not work.Please use v5.1 instead.
*** v5.1 still contains the 'batcloud' ad/spyware, but I did not find a way to remove it without breaking
*** something. The original ROM is so buggy that any change breaks unrelated things.
**********
This ROM is based on the Kingzone N5 ROM 2015-11-02.
Changes vs original 2015-11-02 ROM:
- Rooted (regular su) + SuperSU 2.79 system app
- replaced Launcher3 (adware) with Nova Launcher
- removed 'batcloud' trojan in Settings.apk (big thanks to bellzebu)
- removed Adups FOTA (possibly spyware, is of no use anyway)
- Xposed framework v87 installed + Xposed installer system app
- fixes for all known Stagefright issues (as of July 2016)
- internal 8GB SD card working (from stock ROM 2015-08-19)
- Google Services and Google Play Store updated
- replaced stock recovery with TWRP
- use auto-updating "Android System Webview" (browser engine) from Play Store (big thanks to bellzebu)
- use ad-blocking hosts file (from adfree.bigtincan.com)
Change log:
v8 (2017-03-02)
– fixed 'Settings' app not available (was broken since v6)
– added ad-blocking hosts file (from adfree.bigtincan.com)
– updated xposed framework to v87, xposed installer to 3.1.1
– updated Google Play Services, Play Store, Android System Webview, SuperSU, Nova Launcher
v7 (2016-11-20)
– removed Adups FOTA (possibly spyware, is of no use anyway)
– updated Google Play Services, Play Store, Android System Webview
Installation:
- Requirement: One of these ROMs must currently be installed:
– Original Kingzone ROM 2015-11-02 or
– one of my (these) ROMs: v3, v4, v5, v6
- Flash this ROM with SP Flash Tool (use google if you don't know how to do this)
Use "Download only" mode. DO NOT USE "FORMAT" MODE.
When flashing has finished, unplug phone and turn it on.
- When updating from my v4 or older or ROM 2015-08-19, also flash boot and lk partitions from original 2015-11-02 ROM.
- The first boot takes a while, depending on the apps you have installed.
Is is normal that the phone hangs for a minute at the Kingzone boot logo and
then 15-30 minutes on the "KINGZONE" boot text, depending on the apps you have installed.
Keep the phone attached to a charger, so that it doesn't run down the battery.
In case the lock screen does not come up after 90 minutes, shortly remove
the battery and restart the phone.
- Internal SD card: When you had 2015-11-02 ROM running, your internal 8GB SD card was gone.
After flashing this ROM, it takes a few reboots and/or hours until the intSD comes back all by itself.

※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM
This ROM is compatible with N5 models with MT6735M CPU, but not compatible with new N5 models with MT6735A.
When you get a "scatter file chip type not match" error, you have the latter incompatible one.
Can this rom be installed with the recovery?
No, it can only be installed using SP Flash Tool.
Hello,
How can I tell, before trying, if I have either MT6735 (that's what I see on system Recovery Mode menu {chinese menu} ) , MT6735A or MT6735M ?
Thanks Marco.
hvdh, do you have a "Anti-theft" or something similar setup in this ROM? I've installed the ROM few weeks ago on one phone, and today we've put in the SIM card and suddenly "Privacy protection password" poped up, and we can't make it go away, even if we put in the old SIM card. Please, reply if that's the case…
Hello boys,
Can you tell me about to flash this rom to N5 mt6735m with 2015-11-02 ROM ?
USB driver is already installed and the phone will be recognised, so that’s work fine.
Had anyone tested with 2015-11-02 ROM to flash it with SP flash tool? Did it work?
If yes, than write please a short feedback about how?
Download only or firmware or…? What should choose?
What about partitions settings? And after the downloading what to do, just turn on the phone or from boot menu?
I’m sorry for this questins, but i need to learn it
Regarding "anti-theft": I did not add anything like that. The popup may come from a rogue app or has been in the original ROM and was triggered somehow.
Regarding flashing over 2015-11-02 ROM: I do an update of the ROM today and will test that. When flashing, use "download only" mode. Afterwards, just turn on phone normally.
Does anyone notice constant battery drain (5-10% per hour) when screen is off?
It should only affect users flashing over the original 2015-11-02 ROM.
If you have this issue, please tell me here, and additionally flash kernel-fix-battery-drain.7z and see if it helps.
