[Guest userDJJ]

Coollife apps are also removed ?

[Guest slime00]

hello and thank you for your effort! :) is it really fully multilanguage or is the eng+china with morelocale2 added?

Hi,

 

If I try to enter "data usage" under settings, a dialog appears indicating that the setting, application has stopped.

 

Could you guys try that just in case it's only me?

 

EDIT: Solved by making a shorcut with nova launcher

[Guest userDJJ]

This is because some coolpad app is removed.

[Guest baniko]

I have the "CoolLifeUI 039 Lite by ATX Team" from the first page.

You think i can flash your ROM after only catch and dalvik wipe?

you are asking for trouble this way..

[Guest 77chedu]

There might be some glitches here and there, but, all in all, I think it's a pretty good release and it may open the path to a a number of mulitlanguage attemps on stock roms. 

 

My antutu results are a little bit lower, but still over 32000

 

I'm still having some trouble receiving whatsapp notifications, which could be a downside for many people

 

Looking forward for a v2 release

 

Thanks for your work

Good ROM - fast, clean & stable.

It's good to be back on JB & feel the performance again.

People telling here that KK is not slower are wrong.

Besides that games use more detailed graphics & are faster even with more effects on JB.

Antutu v5.3.0 3D: ~8200 :-)

SD could be faster (will need to be tweaked), but anyway everything starts noticably faster than on KK.

 

What I miss is MIUI/Baidu style task killer, but there's no such task killer on non-MIUI based ROMs ;-)

Can it be added somehow?

 

Btw. I remember that someone said that Xposed & GravityBox doesn't work on CoolUI, but it works, probably it just needed to install busybox symlinks to make Xposed Installer perform Xposed installation.

 

Edit: some options from GravityBox don't work.

anything that will try to modify the ui won't work.Also you are asking for bootloop playing with xposed on coolUI..!

[Guest xeros2]

At least few important options worked and no bootloop so far.

Do you have any experience which options make bootloop?

 

Btw. CoolUI is not bad, but IMO, it's a bit non-consitent for UI & features (like AOSP with few apps added for different things). Baidu & MIUI are more consistent, more feature rich but CoolUI is faster & overall not bad :-)

[Guest 77chedu]

Does anyone know the name of the task killer app that appears when you long press the home button?

 

I really don't know if it's an app or a built-in function from the UI, but I guess that's what won't let run greenify. Could it be disabled or uninstalled?

[Guest xeros2]

After two weeks of use this ROM I have few things that I'd like to comment.

 

Generally ROM has important pros, but too many smaller cons that together make big problems.

 

Pros

- fast,

- stable,

- great 3D performance,

- great camera (fast autofocus, sharp photos, etc - better than both 4.2.2 & 4.4.2 AOSPs).

 

Cons:

- still few dependencies on Chineese Coolpad stuff (Blocker, VIP list, Protect data, C-Button, side-bar...),

- enables and after a while disabled 3G data connection randomly, without user intervention,

- some Coolpad (green C) app prompts to enable power save or connect charger at 30% (in Chineese),

- battery stats are messed (I have flashed ROM at 100% battery (4.372V) and at 1% I still have around 3.632V) - I haven't done calibration on this ROM yet but didn't have that problem when flashing other ROMs when battery was fully charged,

- additional prompts to connect charger at 15%, 10%, 5%,

- continous prompts to switchoff phone at 1% (almost no possibility to do anything else because prompts every few seconds - might not be a problem if battery stats would be OK),

- battery usage is higher than laek's AOSP 4.4.2 & jonzalvo's AOSP 4.2.2 (even when enabled power saving, killed all apps in background, disabled wifi & 3g, idle/sleeping, without screen - no apps catched to wakelocks to drain power) - not too much higher, but visible (especially from 100%->80% - these readings look real - checked periodically mV battery power & mA usage calculations),

- stock SMS app has "firewall" that blocks some SMS (can be replaced but more problems below),

- some Coolpad task killer kills apps in background and I haven't found list for excludes (I don't mean DU Battery Saver - I have excludes there that work OK) - to be clear, I don't kill apps by long press of home button & trash icon, because then results are even worse - including killed other app killers, battery savers, etc,

- when stock SMS app is replaced then custom SMS apps get killed by above Coolpad task killer resulting SMS not come - even if app is converted to system app,

- sensors use more battery power than on AOSP 4.4.2 (light & proximity sensor, accelerometer),

- most apps that use Xposed don't work (they don't get features from Xposed - like catching events or changes to UI/menus),

- WIFI LEAP authentication doesn't work (like on all 4.2.2-based ROMs) and wpa_supplicant can't be ported from 4.4.2 to fix it,

- mount point of external sdcard in /mnt/sdcard1 & /storage/sdcard2 instead of /mnt/sdcard & /sdcard - no problems with apps move to sdcard, but apps got confused when use hardcoded /sdcard,

- all the time of use I tried to get used to CoolUI launcher, but it misses few useful features that popular launchers have.

 

I think I'll go back to jonzalvo's AOSP 4.2.2 + Arpione patches and maybe I'll prepare latest kernel pack, ported from 4.2.2 041 to AOSP ROM (but need to merge init*.rc from both & repack boot.img).

 

Btw. did anyone try to port stock Coolpad camera app by camera apk repack adding dependent /system/libs from 4.2.2 041 that are different in AOSP?

IMO, there's big chance that it will work that way.

[Guest tlozano]

Thank You. I'd like this rom...

Do you have in mind to make another one with the new CoolUI 025? (coolUI 5.7 and KitKat).
