Rooting Tab Pro 12.2 with last firm done!

For rooting the latest firmware, did you use the CF-Auto-Root from the main site, marked KOT49H.T900XXUANB5, or a new one made for the KOT49H.T900UEUANI1? If the latter, would you mind posting a link to a T900UEUANI1 compatible version?

Don't needed. You can root the normal cf-auto-root with latest sock without problem.
After we pm chat last days about rollback to T900UEUAND4 as unique possibility for rooting, i decided to do a last try before that, and luckily works perfect:
-just did a factory reset to restore from B3 recovery i been trying to prev installed T900UEUANI1 stock, wipe caché with stock recovery, odined cf-auto-root and voilá, just rooted!
No need to do the old B3-rollback-prior-D4 method now. Just a normal auto-root with no hassling.
temp maybe?

It sounds like you maybe having a "Sleep of Death" (SOD) issue. The T520 and P900 have had similar problems. I will out of town until Monday but I'll do some research and hope to have a solution soon.

There is a deadlock in Samsung's code triggered by the CPU boost driver. Look in the t520 device repo for the commit that disables it (actually probably 2 commits because I removed some functionality that doesn't make sense for this processor).

When putting the tablet into sleep mode, it will automatically shut itself down. When I try to turn it back on, the tablet will only do so after I plugged in the charger. The battery itself is fully charged.
I've updated to the latest available firmware version that's available to me. I couldn't find any list of known issues, so I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if I should return my tablet?

Same here. It seems that the problem maybe is temperature: after some time charging it gets really hot and maybe can't awake from that and need rebooting.
I've disabled the magnet sensor vía 3rd app to off the close-lid functionality but don't improve the problem.
Here in summer the room gets to +30°c and the Tab ups to almost 65°c when it gets hot!
Maybe it just reach the temp threshold and self shutdown, or intend that not letting awake.
Perhaps CM11 build here charges battery too fast, with higher voltage than allowed and provoque overheating. I mean, i really feels that it's charging real fast..
Well currently its winter and cold. My tab was cool but it does not respond after deep sleep unless i reboot. Dev said he will look into it and i will wait. Not sure if temp is cause as mine was not definitely not hot.

Posted update last night, check it out
Thanks, btw, i was able to use ODIN to get a good version of TWRP and the ROM installed smoothly. I have encountered a few small bugs but nothing to report that is new. I noticed the "sleep of death" I think you are referring to, deep sleep resulting in a manual reboot to wake up. I have noticed my bluetooth disconnects and reconnects every few minutes during deep sleep..not sure why. will report back. Thanks SO SO much for the development, i love it, so sick of the green and blue and the settings tabs on this stock OS disgust me. I am curious tho, am I the only one who noticed significant slowdown and lag compared to stock? I do not put a lot of stock in benchmarks (skewed toward uncle sammy) but they also showed big slowdown....just my very humble and grateful early experiences. Thanks again.
total reflashing needed?

Well thanks, but,i don't see a flashing update but an entire 221MBs rom to flash..
Can you post just the little update file , if there's any, to flash above the installed rom?
I don't want to install rom, apps and config all over again.
Thanks!

Well there's a problem right now, seems that this rom prevent to enter recovery.., this is what happen to me:
Reboot from Android with 'reboot to recovery' option and when the TWRP splash logo shows it enter in a bootloop always to this instance that TWRP logo appears.
Then i just installed the good old UAND4 rom and it works fine.
Maybe i shouldn't go to recovery direct from android to prevent bootloop happen and try to go the normal way from boot.
Don't know, maybe I'll try some day.., or maybe better wait to Android L comes to us.
Please advice all that stuff in the respective threads, i can't.., cause' these 'noobs-wait-to-10-posting-before' rules..
Greetings.

1. You can "dirty"-flash (install w/o wiping) the new ROM over the old one - nothing to re-install - if you wish you could extract the kernel (boot.img) and flash it by Flashify
2. There haven't been reported any SOD issues after flashing chhaggerty's latest ROM version
3. I have had no issues with with TWRP after having flashed the KOT49H.T900UEUANI1 - I just assume that some parts of the Firmware, not touched by cm, has been improved (but since this is WIFI only, it might not be the case for a non phone device) why I preferred to make the update.

1.2- only the boot.img is needed for update?
3- have you tried the reboot-to-recovery option from android?

The changes done between the two versions (99% sure) was only some modifications in the kernel-code. Why flashing the kernel only should be fine, it will resolve the SOD and also make it run cooler. But if you wish you can also dirty-flash. However, cover your bases with a full back-up.
No issues at all with the reboot to recovery option

HERE it is
unzip the downloaded file
place boot.img on your SD
use Flashify to flash the kernel
after this I believe flashify will boot you up in recovery, just reboot and you should be good to go.
Just remember to make a back-up for just in case...

Installed boot.img and works flawlessly. Now i can back using lid cover again and no more hangs.
I hope they can solve the auto-rotate thing next time.
flashing screen, powering down...
I have twrp 2.8, v2 of our Cyanogenmod, set processor to on demand as suggested...
Still when I play games like CoC and others, if I am not plugged in even with a lot of bat% left, I get a flashing screen and occasionally my tab just decides it needs to shut off.
Any thoughts on what to do? I have greenify and Xposed installed too...
It pretty frustrating.
THANKS GUYS!!

My guess is that gaming need more power, why I would stop greeify and reset the governor to interactive while gaming. But other than that I have no ideas, as I haven't heard of this problem before.
This ROM is fantastic! Smooth, fast, responsive and just as described...big thanks.

I don't know if you noticed, but chhaggerty just released a version 3, maybe this will work as there has been some work on the governors.

Can i use the 4.4.4 GAPPS instead of 4.4.3 you are posting?
arcadia2uk said:
Thanks for another quality update, notably when reading how other cm11 exynos versions always seems to break something. With your T-900 cm11, I have never had any issues. The latest version is still running smooth, the changes in the CPU governor will probably allow for better battery life with the added conservative setting. However, I don't know what trade-off this will have on performance.

Maybe they start to use the big.LITTLE behavior of the Exynos, instead of ever using just the full power a15 cluster (battery eater).
I've haven't tried it but since it's a 4.4.4 rom they should work fine.
Error flashing ROM
Hi guys,
I get this error message when I try to flash CM11:
"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset"
This is a brand new rooted SMT-900 Tab Pro 12.2". Here's some notes:
- I received the error using V1, V2, and V3, all receive the error message
- I downloaded two copies of v3 from two separate mirrors (CA and AZ), both receive the error message
- I did a factory reset and still received the error message
- Wiped davlik/cache/system partitions
- Tried on TWRP 2.7 and 2.8, both receive same error message
- All I have done to this tablet is root it, install TWRP, and create one backup
Any thoughts? I can try using CWM if someone can give me a quick overview of how to install it and remove TWRP (or keep TWRP).

I'm using Snipers PACMAN, and battery just seems to drain way to fast. It is the latest push. Being newly registered on here I hate to introduce my self this way but I need advice. What tweaks are being used by people for the SPH-D710 to help with this issue? I originally started with the CM 10.1 rom and found I had no data, flashed a different modem. Still no data, switched roms and now have data....go figure! But the battery drain is killing me, I've got it throttled back as far as I can go and it still be a daily driver. So anyone have any suggestions?

Most 4.2 Roms use ICS modems. As for battery us betterbatterystats found here on xda or gsam in the play store to determine if there's any rogue apps keeping the phone from sleeping. I also do manual syncing. Greenify is a great app to keep apps from running on their own. You can also use a custom kernel to limit max frequency and even undervolt. Kernels also come with different governors

After reading through the above posts you should have some useful ideas about what this governor does.Also...as for installing a governor, they will be included in the kernel that flashed with ur rom or a kernal of ur choosing(MAKE SURE IT WILL WORK WITH THE ROM YOU HAVE) Im new to this, so if there is another way I dont know about it. Do ur research... As for setting a governor.. There are many roms with built in performance controls as well as many apps to set them. I suggest (set cpu) . It has a setting that will make a zip so u can recover from ur settings if u bootloop. This is found after u install and give it root permission. Hit ur menu button and click SAFE MODE.

Thank You...... I went ahead and added another link for him to read. I hope it helps. As to what you said, I like to think of myself as the poster child for the search button..lol..I think if you do the research it makes you feel better when it works and it is more likely to stick with you. This site is so great about that because there is just so much knowledge here to learn.I think some people get over-whelmed by it though or they are just unsure and need that go ahead push to know it works.

Well, you're commenting on a thread about battery life, but not posting about battery life. That's not going to help you much.

Hey bro, easy on the tone. Because there are so many ways to ask the question, the best way is to just spell it out how you did above. Battery life depends on the apps/ROM/user all at the same time. I am on Project X ROM. It has Crossbreeder installed. Now I am not no where informative about that app other than a lot of people like it. So with that being said and it is installed on the ROM, I leave it. I also have ROM Toolbox Pro. I have adjusted my CPU control to 1000MHZ. I also have DS Battery Saver Pro set to custom and to kill all apps when the screen goes off. Last the ROM I am on comes with Greenify. A great app in saving battery. I also turn off data and only have WIFI on when I need it. No need to just let things run. With that I have had 50% battery life left after 11 hrs. That is my setup and may not work for you. The main thing is to understand that battery life for EACH phone is different no matter how many common denominators people may have. Team Venum did a comparison of ROM's and their respective battery life. I don't know the post, but if you type "battery life" in the search, then I am sure you can find it. As for you response, I was in your shoes at one time. It does help to be specific in your questions. Not saying that you weren't. Reading each and every post will get tiresome, but if you type in what you want in the search, you will get a slew of post to get info. I have only been a member for 4 months, but I have learned how to flash a ROM, Mods, push and app, setup custom home screen. I have even been given the honor of testing a ROM. If you still need help, you can PM me and I will do what I can. Have a great one.

1. flashed from 4.03 to WILD-FOR-THE-NIGHT-07052013-d710, had no data....tried to find a fix for that...gave up after trying tweaks to help with the battery issue and no data.
2. Clean install of d710_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130719-015400, now have intermittent data, wifi works, blutooth works, flashed Fl24 modem with no apparent improvement in data connectivity, thought after reading a kernel flash might fix issues, here comes the boot loop....flashed smdk4412_p4 waited patiently for 2hrs watching Pacman chasing ghosts.....booted into recovery and ran my backup tried it 2 more times on clean flashs gave up after 5 hrs. By clean I mean wipe/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install from zip.
3. this is how I installed the kernel:
Make a backup
Download .zip to PC
Transfer .zip to sdcard
Reboot to recovery
Flash
Phone automatically rebooted after install
waited and waited......boot back into recovery. restore by backup.
everything has been done with CWM based recovery. I'm stumped....frustrated to no end......

First off...I have had the lzp_4 boot loop on me. I pulled the battery,waited about 2 min. Put it back in and booted to recovery. Then I wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted and it took off(booted fine). I have no idea why or how, but this worked for me. Now to my main concern. If you came straight from ics to a jb rom I think this is going to cause you issues, if you hadn't been on jb before. I suggest the one - click full restore(it wipes data,so back-up you're internal memory).This will get you're phone partition right for jb. After this. I think you should be able to flash what you want with no problems. I didn't see a problem with how you flashed. Wipe cache and dalvik on the kernal flashes you do.Here's the link for the one -click..
go to linked page and click on download ota at top of page
I would read through the page it sends you to well.Don't forget to thank those guys..Hope this helps.Hit me up if it doesn't.

The carrier should not matter if you are on an E4GT phone. But if your trying to go to a JB ROM, you will need to aupdate to GB** for your phone. For sprint it is GB27. Have you tried RWilco12's repository to see if your carrier is listed? Also QBKing77 has a lot of videos concerning this specific phone. How to flash specific ROMs and upgrading specific build, modems and such. Something has got to work for you.

What ROM did you flash? Was it ICS or Jellybean? What carrier are you on. That was never revealed.
Never kill the battery. I sed you tried" Wild for the night" and Pac something. Can you get to recovery?
X'ed out the game
Update twrp 2.7, see Dhackers link for the img. Use Recovery Tools from Play to flash from home.
Seems that only Dhackers latest TWRP is the one to use.
Thanks to cyanidium for making it evident to me anyway.

Md5 starts with 791.
Want to try Philz.

Want The latest 2631? w/ SDext usb mount. What is the rub?
This Photon Q TWRP, with full SD mount & more, works on the M! See attachments for the flash-able ver. Now for the rub: screen input requires the mirror of the buttons. I am uploading the very zip from the twrp mounted SD while the phone is in recovery. BE CAREFULL.... It is really not that hard to use. Think of it as a game also.
Md5 : 7630baf88ec9d6c2a144a2ee86ec9bb7
I also had issues flashing some roms with 791.
e33 I was able to flash my brains out with 8 different roms with in 2 hours time span.
791 I had to resort back to Flashing Stock Rom via RSD and start over few times after softbrick.
So not sure what it is maybe slight tweaks in the settings ?

I came across this issues first time trying to flash Paranoid and Pacman.
Which left me soft Bricked or in Bootloops. At the time i was just too fed up and went back to stock
second time i encountered that, was with the first stable KitKat by Dhacker.
That's when i decided to start clean and deleted all my Pre downloaded files and I was forced to download the new E33 from Dhacker.
And along with that all my other Roms and Files. I kind of figured something was bad with my TWRP file. But never thought of it since 791 wasnt found by my search engine.
And this December when I was flashing my GFs phone that's when I confirmed that the 791 didn't work for any of my roms.
Because I couldn't find Dhackers E33 through Google.De search (Some odd way searches come up differently if you search from different country)
And it did the same issues I had the First time around. That's when i dug around more and found Dhackers TWRP.
After using that I was able to flash Roms like a mad man until I found a Rom that my GF was comfortable using and liked.

It's news to me. Did you post about it? Jbaumert has a 1000 + DL of a bad recovery! Your GF distracted you? Lol.
Ohh well now we all know!
Thanks again for the history.
This screwed up my data partition & I could not determine if it was philz or this. Then I decided the stop one, as I would go to the other & then data restore failure, so I used just philz & the problem went away!

Nah i didn't post about it back then and recent we were side tracked ahahaha.
And I actually just got back couple days ago ... work ugh hate it already ...
There maybe a post few months back, me asking somewhere about which TWRP people are using,
because I had my doubt on which one to use; but no one really bothered to respond.
Then i just decided to flash away with what ever, since most errors resulted in an Harmless SoftBrick.
Since i figured a way around to that soft-brick, my thought was, what worse could happen, I did worse before LOL
I won't take credit, just stumbled upon it... That's all you. Just here to Confirm that i did have issues with that version.
Since then I been trying to see CWM for KitKat LOL
Hmm...
So I should be using this (xt907- twrp263-M44 -flashable.zip) instead of the TWRP here?

It works fine (I have flashed Dhackers *img) but if we want to flash any ROM we must change updater.script and add moto_msm8960 to device list on it.
I have success flashed BeanStalk after I add moto_msm8960 to updater.script
P.S. Also unified ROMs flashed great!
P.P.S. Gummy is most stable for me from unified ones
Flash TWRP-2.7.0.0-moto_msm8960-hdpi.img with Recovery Tools. See OP.
Would anyone know if Dhacker's TWRP works on the XT905 model as well?
Yes. But that is just good advice. I do not have one.
Q&A for [5.0.x] [SM-T700] CyanogenMod 12.0 Nightlies for the Tab S 8.4 (klimtwifi)
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [5.0.x] [SM-T700] CyanogenMod 12.0 Nightlies for the Tab S 8.4 (klimtwifi). If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I just installed this nightly. I've been using the unofficial prior to this.
Just a note. Everything is buttery smooth, but once I enable Live Display in settings, the UI gets choppy and delayed. Disabling Live Display returns the smoothness. Other than that, I haven't noticed anything else. Thanks for all you hard work! I'm definitely enjoying this!
Hi, thanks for supporting the tab s officially, touchwhiz is a terrible experience.
I own the 10.5 model. Is it possible to flash this rom? Really would like to have the pure android experience. With touchwhiz the experience is laggy. If it's not possible to flash this rom to the 10.5 is there any plans to support it in the future? If you need a beta tester, please let me know. Happy to contribute if I can.
SystemUpdateService wakelocks
I'm also having issues with the SystemUpdateService wakelocks, and I found the following fix:
- Install the DisableService app from PlayStore.
- Enable the SystemUpdateService under Google Play Service (yes its stupid, the flag looks inverted, you have to check enable to have it disabled)
The fix lasts until the next restart.
I would appreciate to have it disabled by default in the next versions.
Edited. Sorry for stupid question.
Auto updater
Since I dont have enough posts I can't answer to the discussion thread. So I answer here.
I have TWRP 2.8.5.0 and my auto updater works as expected with this ROM.
It boots to twrp and flashes the ROM and reboots to updated ROM. No interaction needed.
Not working anymore.

install directly
You can install this rom if you have the last TWRP recovery installed.
You'll just have to make a complete wipe of your device and not a dirty flash, to ensure nothing will conflict between new CM12 and old TW rom.
This mean you'll lose all your apps and data (you'll have to make a fresh re install )
I suggest you download a Gapp ZIP (you'll find it right here ) and install the zip just after the cm12 flash, before you reboot your device.
cm12 nightly galaxy tab s smt700
I am kinda new with this kind of stuff. So, I installed cyanogenmod 12 nightly for galaxy tab s 8.4 (smt700). What kernel can i use for this rom or based on what I read they build their own kernel?(not sure if I understood that correctly). Many thanks in advance ☺
Battery Percentage Showing Wrong Info
I have this problem since installing fresh this new cm 12 rom. I used the march 15 nightlies and I have this prob that the battery percentage is not right. I was shocked that my battery went down to 15% in just 1 hour from a 100%. Then I tried restarting my unit and when I returned my battery was back to 40%. I tried draining the battery to 0% then charging it to 100% while my tablet is off, I also tried wiping everything and installed the latest nightly march 18 but it still has the same problem. battery drains so fast and restarting the tablet increases my battery by a significant percentage.

Step By Step Instructions?
Hi everyone -
Newbie to flashing ROM. I am terribly excited to get Cyanogenmod 12 installed on my SM-T700. If anything, for Lollipop. Well, my first attempt at doing this, I used TWRP, the ROM didn't flash right, and then TWRP asked me if I wanted to root the device, which I said yes to. Rebooted, and got stuck on the bootloader. I couldn't get the tablet into recovery mode for the life of me to try again. So I ran down the battery, juiced it up a bit, and then I had the problem of the tablet stuck on the batter power icon. Gah.
Well, I took it to a PC repair shop. Not sure how they did it, but they were able to restore it. Now I am obsessed with getting cm 12 on it, but I don't want to brick it again.
Can anyone help? Honestly, a step by step tutorial from stock to cm 12 would be amazing. If not, just some tips on what to do to get it into recovery mode if I mess it up that bad again would be awesome.
Thank you so much.

I had to do that xD Got a little excited about cm12
I had the same problem on the stock TW roms as well as the cm12. So what i did was i opened the back case of my tab s 8.4, the battery connector looked loose so i super glued it to the board very carefully then i used my tablet till it automatticaly shuts off(if turning it on still shows more battery than 1% then again repeat to drain the battery till it just shows 1% even after rebooting).Now i just chargedmy tablet to 100% without any interruptions and its working pretty fine.

No wifi
I love love love this ROM, it's incredibly fast, I've got the debloated version. But I have no wifi on it. The wifi stays off and when I try to turn it on it flips right back to off again. Any suggestions? I wiped, cache, dalvik, everything before and after and reinstalled once. Will reinstall again.
I'm using TWRP vs CWM-would that make a difference?

I had tried several, but wipe completely each time. It might've been one of the Lollipops right before. I wondered if it had anything to do with the kernal? I don't know much about that aspect of it.

Yes kernel controls hardware related things including wifi if I'm not mistaken. Which kernel are you using? The stock kernel included with the rom or a custom kernel?

I didn't ever specifically change kernels (if that's possible). I just installed 4 or 5 different ROMs over the course of the past few wks to see which I liked. I made back ups of my original stock/rooted ROM and several that I liked. I've got SlimKat ROM on here now, would it do any good for me to go into settings and see which kernel it is? Probably not, I suspect.

Ok cool thanks. Really not sure what the wifi issue on your setup might be. Works fine here and for other users as far as I see. I did a quick Google searche and the top solutions seem to be a factory reset, the "wifi fixer" app in the Play Store, or possibly trying different settings/channels/reboot on your router. If nothing works, then it might be because something got corrupted in the base over time by flashing different TW/AOSP ROMs, in which case it might be worthwhile to Odin stock firmware from sammobile and then install this rom and test. Might be more hassle for you than it's worth (especially if your other ROMs already work fine), but just trying to provide options lol. You could also try Regular instead of Debloated to see if there is any difference in wifi for you there.

I appreciate your input very much! I love this rom. I've got it installed again messing around with it while the Regular version is downloading. (I'm bestowed with slow rural internet). I'll let you know if Regular works better. It's probably going to bug me enough as to why it doesn't work that I'll go to the trouble of going back to stock, re-downloading and trying it fresh

Enable Android Encryption
Has anyone been able to successfully enable android encryption using this rom? I tried with the Deodexed version, safe boot, turning off SuperSU and haven't been able to get it to start encrypting properly. I need it since I have policy looking for encrypted state before I can allow mail to be made available.
Many thanks in advance!

wifi won't turn on
Hi, I've flashed both the regular version and the debloated version on my N5110 after clean wipes.
The wifi will not turn on in either case.
I've done factory resets from within settings.
Any ideas?
I've read the thread, the Q&A thread, and done a google search to no avail....
I'm coming from stock 4.2.2 (rooted and unlocked of course) where everything worked... it just seemed to have a pretty short battery life.
I've reinstalled the nandroid backup and wifi still works there.
I'd really like to try this.
Thanks for your hard work as a developer by the way

Not sure...Works fine here but I saw another user report this a while back. The others said all working fine so I'm assuming something may have got corrupted on your setup along the way. Perhaps you can try using odin to flash the latest stock firmware for your device from sammobile.com, then try installing twrp through odin and finally my rom through twrp. Best way to eliminate variables and start fresh

Thanks for confirming! Yes flashing different roms can corrupt system files so a fresh odin install is always a good way to start clean. No issues here with the tablet shutting down..could possibly be due to a rogue app conflicting with something or an xposed module. As for battery life I agree. Not worse than stock but not better either. The built-in battery is now also probably less efficient than it used to be, as they all do over time. Sammy should have put a bigger battery in this tablet!

Hello sefrcoko
my Note N5110 currently has the stock fw 4.2.2.
Once I have root and custom recovery, can I directly flash your rom?
Or I have to flash the stock fw 4.4.2 before your rom?
Thanks a lot
Bye
First of all I am not a established developer still learning android system...... if anything creates problems after flashing this rom or after installing, dont blame me..
Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.
Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.
Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.
Features:
1. Less Lags.
2. Fast.
3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.
How to install:
Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system & efs as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.
1. Just download the zip from the link provided below and keep it in the root of sdcard.
2. Also download the gapps provided in the links. First link is which I installed on my device and second one is the latest. Keep it also in the root of the sdcard.
3. Now just boot into recovery mode i.e. TWRP , do not wipe anything, script will do it itself and just go to install and choose the stock chinese rom for 6045I.zip and flash.
4. Let the process to complete. It will ask to restart the system and just restart the system.
5. After first start choose language and other options, again boot into recovery mode and flash the gapps provided.
6. Here the stock chinese rom will run smoothly on your 6045I.
7. If TWRP gives error "error in executing binary" then you have to manually edit the updater-script but it depends on what your TWRP says about the error. So just ask me I will tell you what changes to make in updater-script.
After couple of manual restarts or with time rom will start to run smoothly.

First of all I am not a established developer still learning android system...... if anything creates problems after flashing this rom or after installing, dont blame me..
Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.
Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.
Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.
Features:
1. Less Lags.
2. Fast.
3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.
How to install:
Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.

Woohoo. Gonna download this!!!
For screenshots of rom visit this page : http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/idol-3-source-code-available-t3180369/page14
Now going to sleep, as have to go office in morning......
Quick question. Can this rom read/write ExFat? I'd rather have my sd card formatted to that so that i can store larger movie files.
Are there any real noticeable differences besides less lag and fast? Those two mean almost the same thing. Does this ROM offer anything major that the US stock ROM doesn't? Awesome work though making a new ROM for the community to try. We appreciate your work. :good:

One enhancement I read about was that it did have newer camera software. Many of the packages included are newer version levels than the ones included on our phones because the i806 came out after our models.

You should consider removing the system update checker from your custom rom. The icon appears in your screenshots so I'm assuming it's still included. Since the build.prop says it's a 6045i but it has the i806 codebase patches will never apply since the checksum's won't match.....so depending on what "version" it thinks it's on vs the update version the update checker will either never show an update or always show an update.
OK. I think I have this working. The ROM seems to be functional for me. Downloading all my apps now and getting it set up how I like. Will try to run it through the day tomorrow and see what I like and don't like... not expecting much difference over stock, but we'll see.
Anyone have a suggestion for a lollipop compatible "minimal gapps?" I'm really only interested in google play and gmail..no need for google+ etc.

I might still have a PA micro gapps file somewhere. Just need to see if it's 5.0 or 5.1.
Edit: Here you go. Just pick up the zero gapps. It works perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792842
Another option is the Slimgapps official thread here. They do have a "zero gapps" package, and both 5.x I think.

Yupp bro.
Just edit build.prop with notepad++ and change it to 6045Y instead of 6045I and flash the rom.
Then check the log of TWRP specially before the error in executing updater binary.
It will say something about the check_cu.
If you will open updater script with notepad++ you will see first line of command saying "check_cu("6045I-2AALUS7");"
Just change this line ("6045I-2AALUS7") with the line shown in the TWRP similar to this ( something like 6045Y-XXXXXXX)
Then again flash the rom, gapps and hope it will work.
If it works, dont forget to hit thanks button :laugh:
Ok... I'll see, my phone is less than one week old and I swore myself that this one would be kept untouched for a year. I wanted to keep it clean for warranty purpose but one week later... I'm already rooted.
I'm kind of flashaholic so won't resist very long... Don't worry.
What will it update exactly? Is there a risk it will mess up the European radio part? Just to make sure I'll still get a good signal or loose imei.
I do have my twrp backup for boot and system image, will that be enough to get back to a previous working state?
Thanks,

I rooted my phone the next day it came to me,
Eventually i am also not going to get warranty as I imported this device from US to India.
N I personally dont care about warranty as none of the android device gets bricked completely, there is always a way.
Like I got stucked in bootloops in try of porting cm12.1 from other device.Even my backups failed to boot. Then I followed the mobile updater app provided by Alcatel and it simply restored my device to factory rom which will get updates also.
N warranty will not work if the device got physically damaged.
Yes backup will work.
After flashing this rom I would suggest you to make TWRP backup of this rom also alongwith Stock one.
I am getting a lot of range in network selection as it contains all the radios available for this device.
Screenshots of network range:

It's much safer to mod now since with Version 4.9.2 of the Mobile Q software from alcatel (you have to tell it you have a "pixi" for that version to appear as it's so new) allows you to put the phone in "download mode" and fully restore the device to factory condition. (tested by multiple idol 3 users of both the 6039 and 6045) This goes a long way towards making the device unbrickable.

I agree with you bro......:good::good:
Thanks both for your answers. Yes the Alcatel restore software makes things way easier to fix. I already installed it yesterday to make sure my phone drivers are installed for any "phone state". I also have the android sdk installed.
By the way, I am thinking to bring my small contribution to this forum by creating an " ultimate list of mods/softwares/issues" for this phone.
There have been so many news and achivements in the past few weeks, it's a bit difficult to read everything in the correct order.
So last question, how about the radio, imei, etc... Any risk on this?
And then, I think I'll give it a try.

I'm attaching a platform.xml file already modded to allow full read/write access to the external sd (just drop the .zip off the filename as that was just to get xda to allow me to upload it...it's a text file)....you might find it useful to replace this in yours.(/etc/permissions)..other options include pre-rooting...adding in init.d support....etc.
Ran this ROM overnight and through most of my day so far (about 3 hours off the charger). First impression is that it's about the same as stock, not that I was expecting any different. You get the TCL splash screen at boot but the overall UI is pretty much the same. Since I now have root I went ahead and used app quarantine to freeze the bloatware apps I didn't want. Kinda wishing I had installed minimal gapps, but I figure I'll be reflashing again soon since the floodgates are probably about to open with new ROMS anyway.
Conclusion: If you're curious, flash it, it doesn't hurt anything. It may be a hair smoother, and I haven't really tested the camera extensively enough before or after to be able to tell a difference.
Edit: Literally as soon as I submitted this message (from my PC) I went to turn wi-fi off and the phone decided to reboot. Really odd.

Which version of the phone do you have?
