sorry i must have missed something, i thought it was the new full version as OTA had issues? is it just the update or full version with the support with OTA?

CAN you please provide the OTA update link, the fixed one. as previous one got stuck on boot logo.

whats the different with this one compare with others?

To really know the difference - one should test it
I wont do that. I`ĺl show you how to adapt it so you can test it yourself. I can`t try every rom that looks promising.

So it goes like this:


Apps used:
Notepad++ (portable)
7zip

Open Baidu rom zip file in 7zip.

Delete Recovery folder.

Go to: META-INF/com/google/android.
Drag updater-script file from 7zip window to desktop (or somewhere else).
Leave 7zip window open.
Open Notepad++ and run it, open your dragged updater-script file.


Change phone version - replace u8818 to u8815 to look like this:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "U8815" ||
   getprop("ro.product.device") == "u8815" ||
   getprop("ro.product.device") == "hwu8815" ||
   getprop("ro.build.product") == "U8815" ||
   getprop("ro.build.product") == "u8815" ||
   getprop("ro.build.product") == "hwu8815");

(just change last numbers 8 to number 5)


Delete only the next lines (leaving empty space after deletion):

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "0");
package_extract_dir("recovery", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0544, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh");

Save your updater script file and drag it back to your (still open) 7zip window
in META-INF/com/google/android folder (it will automaticly replace old version)

Still in 7zip window:

Remove chinese apks from system\app like this:

Remove *.apk and its *.odex part

BaiduBrowser.apk
BaiduClickSearch.apk
BaiduImageSearch.apk
BaiduInput.apk
BaiduMap.apk
BaiduMarket.apk
BaiduMusicPlayer.apk
BaiduNetworkLocation.apk
BaiduReader.apk
BaiduUserFeedback.apk
BaiduWangpan.apk
BaiduWeather.apk
FindmeDM.apk
NewPhoneWizard.apk
P2P.apk
P2PScenes.apk
SearchBox.apk
VoiceAssistant.apk

Just close 7zip window and thats it.

For Shendu rom, you dont have to change version number and you remove some other apks.

ok, to avoid any further confusion, the link in this post (http://www.modaco.co...60#entry2085311) was edited there with the new version of the OTA update, but here it is again:

https://docs.google....dit?usp=sharing

there are two files in that folder, one smaller that has everything unnecessary removed (faster rom, more memory) but which might not boot (but it should now), so try that one first

and the other, larger one, is called BLOATWARE, as it has some Baidu background services remaining (you get them in dakok's V21 repack too), but which boots for sure - so use that one only if the first fails...

hope you don't mind Dakok, but this repacks have no bloatware left

[dakok]

I don't mind at all. Only mad a bit cause now I'm tempted to flash it again (I flashed this version 5-6 times to make it work) :-).
Really glad you nailed it.
I'll edit op.
Please list removed stuff

[jpbroad1970]

thanks guys i think this is an excellent rom smooth and great themes to play with

[linc73]

@dakok

ROM is great ... while menu in Romanian?
Thanks in advance

[dakok]

Sorry, linc73. Translating this rom is not a simple task.
I know some folks tried that - but no luck.
It requires a lot of knowledge and effort.

[hugocard]

sorry for the bad things, but for me this is the worst rom. it was faulty in some settings and too laggy and slow. sorry but is my opinion. but thanks for changing this roms for our huawei ascend g300, keep with good work.
