Guest trotil Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 what is partition size for this rom. Thank you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbosh Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Stock partition size, without gapps it should fit in 200mb as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dodgetimmy Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks gbosh! So with gaps you need a 220mb partition? I have a SF2, but what about Vivacity users like yourself? There are no links of any TPT's over 200mb system. Jeez only 996 kb free without gapps on a 200mb system partition :D Edited January 24, 2014 by dodgetimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbosh Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I still have the 220mb stock partition layout, because I've never done anything with tpt. But as it seem, all dl links for 220mb p736e partitions are dead, so I'm gonna have a look at that soon and see how that whole thing works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dodgetimmy Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Well I've had a play with this rom, at first I installed on a 200mb system then installed the gapp .apks after extracting them from the zip file as user apps. This caused a problem with force closes, so just going to stick to flashing the zip in CWM with a 220mb system partition. The kernel in this rom is the original overclock kernel, is it possible to add newest kernel as well as overclocking? Bugs for me: * Touch screen calibration is off, always pointing half a finger to the right of where you press. This seems most apparent on the right of the screen. * There is a bizarre, but quiet humming sound after the keypress sounds, but not on every part of the rom, it happens in the settings menu and in some apps. Almost sounds like interference or a hard drive hum lol * There are force closes when trying to enter storage in the settings menu and also developer tools in the developer menu. * When connecting to a computer through USB file transfer, the phone takes an abnormal amount of time to finish loading the connected or not connected screen. Instead the refresh circle goes on for about a minute. * I installed Gapps and they appear to just fit on a 220mb partition but only with 49kb free. I'm not certain this is enough free space. To add to this, the start-up wizard didn't work on first install, so perhaps it hasn't installed correctly because of lack of room? *Internet works fine but cannot sign into my google account, error message comes up "there was a problem communicating with google servers. Try again later" Nevermind, google trouble server wide: http://www.google.com/appsstatus Edit 2# It seems the problem is not related to google servers being down, but instead is another bug, perhaps related to a 220mb system partition not being enough room for gapps and the rom together. I hope I can add more feedback when I have used it more. But thanks again for this brilliant rom :D Edited January 26, 2014 by dodgetimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbosh Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I think there might be some problem with the p736v version.Will look into it on subdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cuvillier Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I also have a bug in the ROM otherwise it is very fast: when I want to edit an image gallery, it's a crash after a few seconds. I hope there will be a fix in the next update gbosh,Thanks ! Edited January 25, 2014 by Cuvillier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nico3469 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 That's really cool, If you allow me, I will create a topic on the french forum of the Crescent to have more feedbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Typhus_ Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) This is cool. :) Hey, how about building a new recovery as well? I mean, since you do have the skills to sync sources and build stuff, why not build a new CWM Recovery as well? I'm trying to do it but, up until now, my efforts didn't provide any satisfactory result. Keep it up. Edited January 25, 2014 by Typhus_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trotil Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 It is impossible to fit this rom without tpt :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reedo_17 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Nice to see this. Will try soon!Also as Typhus_ says an updated recovery would be a good thing!Furthermore I remember seeing that some CM11 roms required anupdated CWM recovery to function properly, is there any reason for this?Good Work gbosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbosh Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The reason for that is, that ,by default, a command is used in the recovery install script that isn't supported by older recoveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trotil Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Gbosh are you planning to build SlimKat rom? Yesterday I install TPT (250/150/?) and CM11. after few apps installed my phone runs out of memory. I think slimkat is our best chance, or triminng CM11.

Guest gbosh Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've put a smaller gapps package in the OP, now the rom+gapps will fit on stock layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trotil Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 ok, will try later.do you recomend a2sd or link2sd or something else? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antiseptic Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Thank you so much for this! I will gladly test this and report what I find. I have vivacity (telenor touch plus), touch screen works fine, no problems there. Definitely need to use tpt otherwise there is no Play store, so I have to flash again. I also hear that humming sound after pressing something. When I go to settings - storage it suddenly crashes . What amazed me is how fast this rom is. Seriously, it's very fast, no lag or anything which is great and thank you again for making this. I will later add play store and try with some memory scripts so I will edit with more information. Edit: I couldn't find any tpt for Vivacity with more than 200mb system (I already have that) so I managed to flash google play by trimming down the rom (deleted everything I didn't need) so now everything is working ok. I couldn't just install google play apk like the previous user because it crashes. Int2ext doesn't work, I tried two and nothing. Also, when installing any app from play store, downloaded app crushes. I tried app2sd and similar and it reports couldn't move to sd. I don't know if it's a problem with memory or some bug. But I suspect it's memory problem because I tried some apps from apk files and everything is fine. If anyone has a link for Vivacity tpt with more than 200mb system that would be great.

Guest trotil Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 @ Antiseptic here is tpt http://www.mediafire.com/download/8w9dtq37s76s5eo/Vivacity_250_40_150_clockworkmod_5.0.2.7-TPT.zip link2 sd wirks fine. @gbosh stock partition with 200mb is not enough so I have to trim this rom.

Guest relaxpn Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks gbosh for this, as Antiseptic said, it's super fast, no crashes so far, will know about the battery drain in 2-3 days I guess. It couldn't fit on a 200mb system partition, so I had to trim it down a bit, now everything is working. Btw, int2ext+ works fine with this ROM.

Guest Dovahpig Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Good work man! Guys you can trim the rom by removing non essential apks from it and you wont have to mess with tpts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dodgetimmy Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) The problem with making a TPT is hex editing. You have to edit the hex values of one or two files. Amphoras did it a while ago and created some TPT's and a TPT helper application on the market. The problem is, I think the app was created first for the original blade. When I try using it I can't use it to create my own TPT. Just pressing the option doesn't do anything. I haven't tried any of the standard TPTs and have always installed them manually on my P736V Anyway, for the P736E users, have you tried TPT helper to see if it has any 220mb system TPT's? I guess the easiest path to creating a TPT with more system space would be just to copy these P736V ones some how? I wonder if its possible.

Guest gbosh Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure, using this tutorial http://www.modaco.com/topic/354290-how-tosave-your-dead-vivacity/ will take you back to stock tpt. or just updating trough ZTE's official tool, here http://download.ztedevices.com/UploadFiles/product/643/2614/soft/P020121010608886762774.zip I have however not tried it myself.

Guest dodgetimmy Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) If you can get into fastboot and have working drivers yeah. But then if you wanted CWM recovery you would need the recovery.img and have to flash it via fastboot as well?

Guest gbosh Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Yes, obviously that would have to be the next step, unless you want stock recovery for some reason. Edited January 29, 2014 by gbosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
