Presenting Lightning ROM, created by me Kyan31 for the Huawei Ascend G300 . This ROM is based on ICS 4.0.3 (B952), and is focused on being feature packed, but also being a good performer. This is the first ever ROM I have created, so it is not as complex as other ROMs posted on here, but there will be more updates to come. Anyway, lets get to the features of my creation:

• Boot into recovery
  
• Wipe data/factory reset
  
• Wipe cache partition
  
• Choose zip and then choose the rom

FAQ UPDATED 23/04/2013

NOTICE

Only report bugs if you have done full wipes!

The Google Talk link has been fixed, it must of been wrong since R1 but no one ever told me. Well, it's all good now.

If you are on Lightning ROM 5.5/5.5.0 and you still get bugged to update, turn off the notifications within the OTA Updater app. Sorry for the minor inconvenience.

Fixes

OTA Update Fixer:

If your SD card is sdcard2, not sdcard, use this tweak to change the OTA installation directory to sdcard2.

DOWNLOAD

Smoothness Tweak Remover

If you have more slowdowns compared to the other Lightning releases, it might be due to the smoothness tweak. Use this fix to remove it, and the phone should have identical performance to the previous lightning versions. In most cases, the tweak works fabulously, so hopefully it wont be a problem

DOWNLOAD

CM9 Keyboard

Lightning ROM 3.5+ have the CM9 keyboard already built in, but if you are using an older release, flash this to enable the CM9 keyboard on your phone. Thanks Tillaz for sending me the CM9 keyboard

Miscellaneous

ICS Trebuchet Launcher - This will swap the JB search bar with the ICS search bar. This 'may' reset your apps/widget homescreen configuration, so just keep that in mind.

FAQ

Q: Will I still have my 'Link2int' apps after an OTA update?

A: No, as the OTA update will remove Link2int and 'may' wipe the internal storage. If you are brave enough, you can try the update anyway, but I can't guarantee Link2Int still being there after it's done.

Q: The OTA update wont download! What's the problem?

A: My OTA servers are based on Solidfiles, so if Solidfiles doesn't work for you, the OTA update wont work either.

Q: I cant download any of the addons as they are all uploaded to Solidfiles! Do you have a mirror?

A: I sure do, HERE you go. The zip itself is not flashable, but it's contents are. The zip contains most of the addons available for Lightning!

Q: How can I send MMS messages without enabling data?

A: You need to change this in build.prop from false to true

ro.config.hw_always_allow_mms=false

Q: How do I remove that annoying "WiFi disconnected" message?

A: You need to change this in build.prop from true to false

ro.config.hw_remindwifitopdp=true

Q: What exactly is the Supremacy Trilogy script?

A: Supremacy Trilogy is a script that enhances the phone, here are the features:

• Cleaned up
  
• MUCH better Ram usage
  
• Cache Cleared at every boot
  
• SD speed tweak
  
• Logger removed
  
• Better browser performance
  
• Sysctl tweaks
  
• Added modified Zram script
  
• Better battery life
  
• Lag? GONE
  
• Faster GUI
  
• Loopy smoothness tweak
  
• Apps zipaligned at every boot
  
• Faster Networking
  
• Smoother LWP animation
  
• Adrenaline boost
  
• Kernel Tweaks
  
• Better gaming

The XDA thread is HERE if you need more information about it.

Q: What do the Lightning ROM wallpapers look like?

A: They look like this:

 wallpaper1.png   12.08K   237 downloads  wallpaper2.png   12.11K   224 downloads  wallpaper3.png   11.65K   215 downloads  wallpaper4.png   29.19K   206 downloads

Thanks PcTechRoss for the wallpapers

PCTechRoss has also made some new wallpapers, and they look awesome. Expect to see them in a newer release of Lightning ROM!

Nope, not yet. Hopefully i will add them in the next release. P.s I hope the ROM works well . Please post your feedback after using the ROM, it will help me when releasing future updates.

HI,

I got an error when rebooting from CWM, something to do with root/SU. I clicked back and didnt read all unfortunately. I imagine its related to what you have put in the OP.

Seems really quick based on these first few minutes of use. Ill let you know how it goes.

Edited by sssingletrack, 09 January 2013 - 06:16 PM.

[sssingletrack]

Flashed the SU fix you posted, now I have no superuser app at all.
Not sure whats happened there.

EDIT - app doesnt appear but when access is requested the notification appears.

You need to download Super-SU from the play store. Its free:

https://play.google....e.supersu&hl=en

I will update the OP so everyone is aware. Can you confirm working root?

Yes, root is working.
Recomendation for your next release would be to use the toggles, messaging, clock and home from the Huawei P1 apps.

The messaging and home are really smooth on this.

OK, thanks for the ideas. I might just make a flashable zip for the P1 apps as I dont think everyone wants them.

EDIT: Which file contains the toggles?
