DESCRIPTION
If donations reach $50 from now, I will start the TouchWiz ROM ASAP and upload it. 
Goal: $50 Reached: $10
A patch with some new features will roll out soon!
Thanks for shanos and safcalibur for testing out the many beta versions!
Tengda S5 Android L (5.0) ROM (4.4.2Base) (G9000)
Phone identification name: 706_v92_jbla_fhd
About the ROM:
- Android L themed (the base of the ROM is still 4.4.2)
- Custom touch recovery which has built in File manager, and finally the USB Storage Mounting works…
- Pre-installed apps (Chrome, SuperUser, BusyBox, ES File Manager, Google Now Launcher)
- Fully rooted, busybox installed, and filesystem fully RW.
- Xposed framework and modules to customize your phone!
Changelog:
- Advanced Power Menu
- Heads up notifications! (Can be disabled in GravityBox)
- Added Xposed Framework fully working!
- Xposed Modules: GravityBox, SDcardfix, Ex-Themer, BurntToast
- Modules are visible in system settings
- Added fully working Android L camera (stock camera still present because S View uses it)
- KK Launcher L is set as default to avoid Google Launcher force closing. You can set Google Launcher as default after updating Google Search from Google play!
- Heading towards Android L (5.0) about 60% done. More details below.
- System now shows that you have the Android L version, like on the Nexus 5.
- Replaced Root Explorer with ES File Manager (its more compatible with the filesystem)
- Added GPS Fix
- Fixed signal color in status bar so it matches the wifi and the battery.
- Added back the stock Browser alongside Chrome (got many requests)
- Fixed some visual and non-visual bugs
Android L features at the moment:
- Google Now Launcher (Can be activated by updating Google Search)
- Boot logo and animation
- Ringtones, notifications, alarms and system sounds
- Android L material keyboard
- Google Play Services updated (no noticable change, just needed for the L stuff)
Things I'm working on:
- Android L camera (its almost done will be added in next update) done
- L lockscreen and statusbar and systemUI (I very very hard and time consuming…)
- Xposed Framework and some must-have modules (still in testing state) done
How to install the ROM:
Download HOW TO INSTALL.pdf for very detailed instructions with pictures!
Be sure that your battery is charged more than 50% before flashing.
If you have any questions post them in the comments!
I will do my best to update the rom with new features!
Known issues:
- When you are in recovery and you hit reboot it always ask if you want to fix the root or not, just ignore it, doesnt matter if you hit Yes or No nothing will happen.
- You can still only wipe data/cache on the Stock recovery!
If you find anything that is not listed above, message me and I'll try to fix it.
I'm also taking suggesting for what to include in the rom!
Donations are welcome and will affect future updates!
Donators can also request a custom boot logo and
animation! 
Big thanks to MasterBo for helping me with a lot of things!

Same endless bootloop for me
I am getting bootloop on the new "L" version, but the original works 100% … other 4.4 ROMS listed on needrom are also working OK.
Just out of interest I know the camera 13mp was a fib on the part of the manufacturer, but can anyone confirm the amount of actual ram in the phones? is it 2gb or 1gb?
cheers shanos
its 1GB, many sites list it as 2GB but that is fake. Still runs very well though
Wondering if anyone can help, does anyone know where you can get accessories for this phone like screen protectors, covers etc… Have tried a google search but not much joy
TIA
im not sure in covers, but fol screen protector, buy an universal one that you can cut out, and use the one that came with the phone as a guide and cut it out just like that!
Guys, sorry for the 'bootloop' thing, at the moment I have no idea what is causing it as it runs fine on my phone :/ I will start over and build the rom up again. It should be ready later this day!
Ok thanks mate. Will hunt for some universal screen protectors! If anyone has any info on cases/covers, would be very much appreciated
Hey DPluss,
just wondering whether it would be worth putting a fresh set of 'how to flash' instructions specific to the AndroidL ROM you've created? Would flashing it be different for those that are coming from your Kitkat ROM versus someone who is coming from another/stock ROM?
ROM might be ok, as you say, its running ok on your phone maybe flashing process needs elaborating on?
just a thought and as always thank you for your hard work
best
Saf
Once I'm home at my PC I will be able to write a better instructions, this one was only a quick one because my laptop in my apartment cant really anything
Development will be speed up also because I will be able to work on 2 PC-s!
I really have no idea whats causing those bootloops on everyones phones. for me I wipe data and flash this rom and its working
I'm guessing the boot.img could be a problem, if you have some spare time would you please try flashing the L rom again with the kikat ones boot.img?
Hi to all, i owned Tengda S5 and still have big problems with my phone.
I have try'd several roms latest : https://www.needrom.com/mobile.....comment-page-5/
However i have still problems: phone hangs spontaneously and reboot himself or just reboot on his own.
Don't know whats happens does anybody has an idea how to find out what;s the reason why screen freesing or phone rebooting.
Is there an kind of logging or something like windows screendump?
Well, if it constantly reboots and freezes its probably hardware related issue mate :/ My first rom runs very stable I never had any issues with rebooting and stuff.
Hi Janitjoe,
Try DPluss ROM on top of this page, the Kitkat one. Download sp flashtools, the ROM itself, the stock recovery image and the how to flash instructions. This is a very smooth and stable ROM, hopefully shoudl work for you
