Guest dakok Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Why starting this topic? Surfing on several china g300 phone (it`s U8818 over there!) forums brings pleasant surprises every now and then, so - why not sharing them... :) First link is going to be the original topic - use Chrome for translate Second link is a download link (sometimes tends to be slow) Links will bring you to new roms and other interesting stuff . Don`t flash those roms immediately if you are not sure what youre doing. As first, check chinese rom topics on modaco (Miui, Baidu, Shendu, EMUI, X-UI, LewaOS, JoyOS, MokeeOS...) for some specific stuff regarding CWM, updater-script and removing chinese apks. CWM: Sometimes, flashing a chinese rom could bring you a chinese cwm. Delete lines with the word: recovery in updater-script, delete Recovery folder or recovery.img file Chinese apks: Delete apks (mostly in system/apps folder) with chinese names (hint: ApkSpy) prior to flashing or later, with a root explorer updater-script: If there are U8818 words, delete those lines at the begining of the script (if there are U8815 words, too - don`t delete lines) in META-INF/com/google/android hosts file: it is at /etc/hosts Open it and and delete all the lines except localhost 127.0.0.1 (at the beginning): This is mostly for GB&CM7 roms User interface: All chinese roms have at least english language in settings. It is not hard to find it, but if you fail - do this before flashing: build.prop: Replace zh to en; CN to US in: ro.product.locale.language=zh ro.product.locale.region=CN Use 7zip for rom file and notepad++ for editing files This is just a general guidance. Please check Baidu topics on forum for more detailed explanations Feel free to give comments and links. Known names of chinese devs and modders: Geno (Miui), Ivan87 (Shendu), Lishuo, Hay (Baidu team), Fswfsw, ZJL, Birdyi (S4 rom), Big Star (CM7)... Posts will arrive on daily basis (hope so :)) P.S.

Guest smweb Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Nice initiative Dakok :D, also could you add a rating somewhere too. Example: Speed 4/5, Performance 4/5, etc; that would help other users to have a subjective understanding of the ROM before trying.
Guest dakok Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 That would be too much for me :) This is an attempt to make things tidy. These links are scattered all over the forum. Now you can check what`s new and try things or ask others for advice (depending on your experience).

Guest djuroue Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Dakok, did you try that latest cm 7.2 version !? edit > And is it still for GB baseband or it can work on 2030 ?! Edited April 12, 2013 by djuroue
Guest dakok Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) @narkoman88 It`s for C8812! Any plans for this one? :) Or we shall wait for ZJL`s release? @djuroe It`s probably a normal CM7 (109808bb), but you can try it with Tillaz`s patch for 2030bb or, better, wait for a new release or a modded/transplanted one. EDIT: It`s not friday today. It`s ROMday! :) Five new roms in a single morning! (counting Bruno`s one, too) Edited April 12, 2013 by dakok
Guest sedj Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 That chinese website gives me a headache, is it really of any use? At the moment we are being swamped with one release or another and none of them work 100%, you would be better posting a thread with roms that work as they should it would be a much smaller post ;)
Guest dakok Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) ...you would be better posting a thread with roms that work as they should... ;) I`ll leave that pleasure to you :) @Puget: Yes. And check Baidu and Shendu topics before you attempt the flashing :) Edited April 12, 2013 by dakok
Guest Tentmaster Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Well, I did a clean install of Shendu 4.1.2 and it failed to boot. Tried it twice and gave up. Will try Bruno's new version later to see have I any better luck.
Guest narkoman88 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 @narkoman88 It`s for C8812! Any plans for this one? :) Or we shall wait for ZJL`s release? ^_^ http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=358122&view=findpost&p=20871125 (need to fix the camera)
Guest dakok Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Great! Btw, it is sixth new rom for g300 in a single day. Nope. It`s an old one. :blush: Is there any other phone with such support? Edited April 13, 2013 by dakok
Guest sedj Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Great! Btw, it is sixth new rom for g300 in a single day. Is there any other phone with such support? Support? Nobody knows how to fix anything, the devs on this are not as potent as some other devices. What we have is lots of wannabes tacking useless apk's to established roms and saying "hey look its new and fast" and still its fubbard.
Guest dakok Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 It`s not that bad, really. :) I`m changing roms frequently and most of the features I use work without a glitch. Present rom is ~35h from charging with 33% remaining battery. Web browsing on Opera mobile is fast on WiFi and data network, calls are OK, GPS functions properly, Google`s stuff is OK. I`m sattisfied with that and only stuff I need (and searching for better) is a good battery consumption, fast scrolling, lots of free RAM (or great RAM handling), working camera, WiFi and GPS. A lot of g300 roms forfill that.
Guest celrau Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 dakok, I appreciate your initiative and patience to put up with Google translate from Chinese :), after all I'm perfectly happy with Miui-GB you found, on the other hand sedj is absolutely right most so called new roms for U8815 are just hacks done by people with little 'real' development knowledge, as you once put it, zip developers (glad to have them nonetheless). I guess our phone is not interesting enough to even have its own forum on xda. So keep up your 'research', once in a while you find good stuff :)

A lot of g300 roms forfill that. Which rom are you on? So many roms lots to test.i quite liked old badu rom but find new not as good.new mozee is good but couldnt get profiles and sound in toggles didnt operate. Is there anythin thats got these features which is stable with good battery like stock?
Guest dakok Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 ...on the other hand sedj is absolutely right most so called new roms for U8815 are just hacks... I guess you don`t mean that most of yesterday`s releases (Miui, Shendu, CM7) are just zip dev hacks :)
