Guest dalyer Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) well,i only use aosps,a310 was my favorite one,i used it for months but i also try all aosps available.I agree that the no changelog approach is bad. I only speak for the latest maucat 30.5.15 not earlier versions (which were not as good).But the latest one is better than a310.Its faster and you dont get lags and slowdowns like a310 does after 3-4 weeks of usage. OK - thanks. I haven't really noticed anything or at least much in the way or lags or slowdowns on A310. Maybe I will give maucat a go but it's a pain to have to have to reinstall and reconfigure things and going by other people's experience backing up and restoring can simply be too error prone... Edit: just curious - you presumably used A310 for a while? Do you remember which specific version? Was it 77chedu's first mod of dakok's repack? Or dakok's original? Also is there an active discussion of maucat's recent releases (in particular 30.5.15) on some other forum that is worth checking for the latest "reviews"?

Guest dalyer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Ok - thanks a lot. I might backup and try maucat at some stage if I get a chance. Did you also try xtremevanilla? How did that compare to the other two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that compare to the other two? yes i did.Vanilla v4 was very good,smooth and fast but gps was not working after a clean install.So i took it out in 3-4 days,not enough time to see how it behaves.But i didn't notice any serious bug except from the gps one.There is also a patch available now on the roms page on facebook that is supposed to fix gps but i haven't tried it because i am on maucat's and i don't want to be the first one who tries again..

Guest korekore1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I tried patch and gps does not work 1.write with normal letters like we all do 2.vanilla patch is supposed to work only if you flash it after a fresh install Edited June 25, 2015 by korekore1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dalyer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) What patch? GPS works fine straight off on the Coolpad F1 with this ROM. Oh - ignore - you're talking about maucat AOSP and not this (A310) ROM. Edited June 25, 2015 by dalyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dmrtn Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Ok - thanks a lot. I might backup and try maucat at some stage if I get a chance. Did you also try xtremevanilla? How did that compare to the other two? Just for the record, I changed back to the most recent Maucat. Sound is definitely louder. And all the LED colours work. Don't notice much else that's different tbh. I have Nova set up that I like and use on every ROM. Battery might possibly be a little better on Maucat? Not 100% on that though. The Coolpad Camera is good. The 20mpx one doesn't work on this I don't think but it's still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks. Will probably give maucat a go so since it's getting so much positive comment. Is the Coolpad camera installed by default or do you have to install it separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Just to clarify one thing with those who concluded that maucat was better than (?) A310 - were you comparing with (1) dakok's original http://www.modaco.com/topic/374249-rom-442-aosp-nitro-a310-v3-repack/ (2) 77chedu's initial mod/cleanup http://www.modaco.com/topic/374249-rom-442-aosp-nitro-a310-v3-repack/page-9#entry2257054 or (3) 77chedu's most recent mod/cleanup http://www.modaco.com/topic/374249-rom-442-aosp-nitro-a310-v3-repack/page-13#entry2260107 At the moment I'm using #2 Edited June 27, 2015 by dalyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dmrtn Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks. Will probably give maucat a go so since it's getting so much positive comment. Is the Coolpad camera installed by default or do you have to install it separately? Separately. There's a zip to flash somewhere around the threads. I can upload it somewhere if there's any problem with finding it. On the older Maucat it replaced the standard Android camera but on this version it installed alongside it. I have Coolpad, Kitkat, LG, Lenovo and Candycam (much smaller filesizes so good for sending/emailing quick snaps) camera apps so I probably need to reduce that down :) They each have their uses though. Also, I'm pretty sure I was on the same A310 ROM as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave1000 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) A daft question about the lack of ring tones and message tones on this ROM.I've been using this ROM (the original dakok version) for a few days now and I'm very pleased with it, thanks.Before this ROM I was using a ROM called jonzalvos PURE AOSP 2.0 (Android 4.2.2) which was also very good, but it had loads of ring and text message tones to choose from.So, is there a way of extracting the ring tones from my old ROM and adding them to this ROM or can they be downloaded somewhere on the internet and added to a folder somewhere in the phone?Thanks Edited September 12, 2015 by Dave1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dmrtn Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 So, is there a way of extracting the ring tones from my old ROM and adding them to this ROM or can they be downloaded somewhere on the internet and added to a folder somewhere in the phone?The ROMS are zip files. Extract them on your computer (or on your phone) and just copy the audio files to the relevant folder in the new ROM. Usually a sub folder of system/media. The same goes for apps.

Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 So I'm going to move from XtremeVanilla V2, to this ROM as it seems to be the best one/most popular at the moment.Could you please answer some questions:1) What are the basic steps again for this (I've forgotten as its been soo long since I flashed a ROM)2) I want to do a clean wipe install, to delete all the old crud folders and files etc. CAn I simply just delete everything in both that Phone Storage and SD Card folders that opo up when I connect the phone to a PC? Could this also possibly remove the CWM bootloader?Cheers,KP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 This is how I generally install a new ROM:Do a full CWM backup just in caseDownload the ROM zip - check that it's intact (at the very least see that it opens in 7Zip or similar)Boot into CWMFormat the sdcard (or do this on a PC using SDFormatter)Copy the ROM zip onto the sd cardBoot into CWMDo all wipes/formatsInstall the ROM zipRebootReinstall favourite apps and apply preferred configuration settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
