I am really sorry that I (and other participants in this topic) made you think that this is
a fast and no-laggy rom.
I guess that we must be out of our minds for dealing with a worst G300 rom!

But loony as I am, I`ll continue to play with this Baidu....


@pOcHa:

I tested your ROM21 repack and it seems to be a good one.
I`ll upload that and OTA to be together with the rest in OP link (OP is updated)
...and remove mine "bloatwared" one.

no, you would still need the addons from the above post

and also, this rom has different mount points than stock, so it doesn't suffer from its sd-card unmounting problem - the author of that app would have to update it accordingly

[dakok]

Ok, the better question would be: which one was the culprit?

elementary my dear watson, elementary... just deduct my list from yours, and whatever is left, however improbable it may sound, is the real culprit of this heinous crime

just kidding, it was the BaiduServiceFramework.apk and BaiduSysFramework.apk - they only contain resources (images, text, etc...) for other apps, and in the earlier repacks everything using them was also removed (except for the search widget which as a result just ended being blank), but in the new one some others started relying on them too (traffic manager for example), and there will probably be more in the feature, as they theme the rom more and more

Just installed the ROM. It's pretty smooth. One tiny issue that I found is that Google Search crashes. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks.

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.

Thanks very similar to the apps I already deleted by experimenting,...... ..... works the same on the G330d I did update to the 2.1 rom (chinese new year version) for the G330d but found it less smoother then the v2 I am amazed how much more free memory it has released on the 330d  v the huawei based 956 / 95X / 94X roms . You can also download some of the themes and experiment until you find the ideal look for your phone.

that feature depends on Baidu search, so it won't work in our striped repacks, only on original rom

You need it for a decent GPS fix time. That was the only issue I had with this Rom, although I didn't find it anywhere near  as smooth and responsive as cm.

[pOcHa]

gps works just fine for me (2-3 s)

and CM10 is understandably better just because of the jelly bean project butter, but are you maybe referring to CM9 also?

[dakok]

After installing Google Maps it got GPS fix in ~30 seconds or less.
And it is very smooth and responsive Rom (in my experience, of course).

Yes, cm9 was better for me in teams of screen responsiveness.

GPS fix took a minute or two initially, and then about thirty seconds every time, whereas on ALL other roms it is virtually instant.

Hi,

Does any one use the mod "int2sd" with this rom???

I can't use that mod even using the OP mods.

[jpbroad1970]

I love this rom the only issue I have is it won't pick up gps on weather apps but it's fine on navigation... But it is not going to change my life so I'm happy as is. Just thought I would mention it in case there is an easy fix i have missed. Once again cheers for a great rom best I have used to date looking forward to the next update whenever it happens
