Well that ROM has the KitKat home but it's only 4.2.2. I can probably port it, it will take some time. If you wan't the looks of KitKat in this ROM download Xposed installer and get the Custom Framework app. That allows you to customize your status bar.. Etc transparent, colours etc.
I'm working on another ROM for our Huawei Asend Y201 At the moment, but after that i can certainly have a crack at a port.. Or at last " Theme" the whole ROM to looks like the SexaY nexus 5 :highfive:
How is this ROM going for you so far?
the rom is a lot buggy and a lot of fixes are required i uninstalled it right away.
Thanks for trying. i know of xposed and am using it right now but it aint enough me and many people like me would like to try the whole android 4.4 firmware on our phone.There are custom roms of android 4.4 available for some other huawei phones maybe you can port 4.4 from those
:fingers-crossed:

If you can tell me where it's buggy i can update it to stop it 0.o
Also im working on a new ROM hopefully it will not be as buggy. It's still only based of 4.2.2, but it will give other sub $100 phones a run for their money :laugh:
Unfortunately, as of the end of this month i no longer have my y201, swapping for Galaxy Nexus. So i make this rom quickly and then i have nexus :good: but i will fix issues and bugs thx anywayz

If you have already done the below mentioned process for previous root then again repeat the same process for updated version of CWM, this time you will have the updated recovery file (for installing kitkat you have to update your CWM), this will install the new CWM
Installing CWM Recovery:
The files you will need, download them and extract them to a folder on your desktop:
RootY201Pro.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2604048&d=1393519597)
UnlockBootloader.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2604049&d=1393519597)
Recovery.zip (it should be updated version) :: ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 > (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1_3SnPqNNqyMmNhdzJuRHk3R1U/edit)
Step by Step Process:
1. Turn off your phone if it isn't already.
2. Press and hold the following buttons simultaneously for ~10 seconds: volume down + home button + power button
3. Release the buttons and your phone should not boot, it should be 'stuck'. That's what we wanted.
4. Connect your phone to the PC via USB. It should install the drivers fine.
5. Open CMD and browse to the folder in your desktop.
6. Once you are in the folder type the following commands:
6.a) fastboot erase recovery, then press Enter. Let it work...
6.b) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, press Enter and let it work again.
6.c) fastboot reboot, and press Enter...
7. Your device is now rebooting. You can unplug it from the PC.
For kitkat Use the following link:

Hi mate did you installed this rom?
there is a oc_kernel file can I install all files at once? I mean
cm-11-20140503-UNOFFICIAL-u8666E.zip then, gapps_4.4.2_20140426-signed.zip and finally OC_Kernel_Y201PRO_KitKat_03.05.14.zip
is that correct?
or I just install room + gapps and thats it !!
TIA
yes
I have been using this rom's newest release its quite good, if you want overclocking then you can use oc_kernel or kernel 3.4 as uploaded on site ,sorry for late answer

This is a completely 100% stock rom built from the P5220XXUAMJ8 base. It's in flashable zip format, but there is absolutely no tweaking done to this rom; its primary purpose is as a base for anyone wanting to build a mod rom for the P5220 LTE, as well as being there for anyone who wants to return stock without odin.
As it is 100% stock it's fully bloated, odexed, and non-rooted. You can attain root by flashing root.zip (not included in this post, but it's in the main forum) thus, if you have any complaints, bring them to Samsung, not me. Flashing instructions and download link below.
Edit: I've now also posted a deodexed + rooted build. See download link below. No other changes have been made to this version besides deodex/root.
Flashing instructions:
-Full wipe (factory reset in twrp)
-flash ROM
-reboot, let sit for about 10 minutes
-You're now 100% stock. Enjoy!
Download link:
100% stock
Rooted/Deodexed

If you have a custom recovery you can install this ROM to boot up stock / stock rooted. If you're just looking to root and don't want to replace your entire ROM I have a root method with guide posted here.
thanks for your answer. I'll try as soon as possible. bye

Hi Pbt
Sad to hear this. Although it doesn't help you in THIS question, but I'd recommend to switch to Android 6.0.1 Mashmallow following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3342017
Don't mess around anymore with Android 4.2.2...
If you need help, I follow (as you see) both threads.

the problem is that I come from the CM 13. I preferred to return to rom stock because it seemed that the CM13 lag too. I think I will try to install the original firmware with Odin
I have the ZTE Avail 2 (aka Z992) (and it sucks, considering it's a $70 phone, buying a new one isn't an option because I just built a computer). It hasn't had an update since 4.1.1 and it's very slow, (usually have only ~50mb of ram free when just sitting at launcher) even with all of the tricks to speed it up (greenfiy, cleaner, etc) and on top of that, it's loaded with features that ZTE put in that suck. So after searching and searching for a custom ROM with support for my phone, I can confirm there is zero. I looked at the rom dev tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272270 and the kitchen program doesn't support my phone either. Does that mean I'm screwed? If there's a way to make a rom compatible other than the android kitchen or straight up learning to program, please tell me. I'm willing to learn anything that isn't hugely time consuming. Thanks for any replies.

No, you are not. You can try many other porting tutorials around the web. I found a list of phones similar to yours, might come in handy.
In fact, since your are trying to "port" ROMs, just think about the fact that "where did those ROMs come from?" Those ROMs were built from source code. The Android project is open source and if you are feeling adventurous, you can just grab the source code and compile it yourself for your device. It might be very easy or very tough, depending on your device. I would advise you to try to build Cyanogenmod 10.1 from source code. Check here and here.
And make sure to check this (must).
Cheers man! Trust me, trying to build Cyanogenmod from source will be a lot of fun!
Thank you! So I found CM for the xperia tipo, which was on the list of similar devices. I should use that one and change whatever needs to be changed, right?
Also, is it possible to do that for 4.4 stock? That may be a better idea if CM consumes too much ram

Okay, ignore my last replies, I've been reading a lot and kind of know what I'm doing now.
Only problem is, I can't find a stock rom of my phone! The closest thing I found was a custom ROM for a phone similar to mine, which is confirmed working to the one I actually have. So would that do okay? androidforums . com/prelude-all-things-root/795640-azazel-rom-z993-aio.html is the one. Thanks again for any help.

You can easily take a backup of your current ROM. Try booting into recovery and making your own custom recovery (ClockWordMod).

Oh, I didn't know that would work, thanks again! I have my rom modded like crazy though, tons of xposed modules and build.prop edits, also I uninstalled a lot of stock apps - I'm sure I could get the build.prop somewhere, but what about the other things? Do they matter at all?
Edit: after the backup I now have a ton of tars, a recovery.img, and a boot.img. I extracted all of the tars, now do I just put all of the folders from the tars in a folder with the imgs and that's my base rom?

Okay, I've come pretty far and I've made several flashable zips and fixed many errors, but there's one thing I can't figure out - the updater script doesn't work, and I realized it's because I was using the one from the original port, and I need the one for my phone, which I can't get from the cwm recovery. I really need the whole META-INF folder. Where can I get that?
I tried for 1 week and i didnt find any official and stable rom for my samsung galaxy note 4 Sm 910h. I used resurrection remix unofficial and camara didnt worked there . Please any solution there help me

which jellybean version is this 4.2x?? ...thanks
I am facing several prolems in my XOLO A500s ROM (MTK 6572)
I have deodexed my stck rom + rooted but i am unable to implement the Gravity BOX fetures
Like: i can't get the data speed monitor mod,nor the clock mod and many more.
But there's custom rom which has this fuctionality to apply all the gravity box mods.
Is there something i need to change in my stock rom.
Please guide me through this.:highfive:
NOTE: I don't want to use the custom ROM because they have some problems in them some of them don't have gps on/off,another have the 1 MP camera insted of 5MP.
Another show internel memory as SD card and SD Card as internel.
The worst ROM problem can't turn on/off wifi (I managed to solve this on my own but still they have some other problems)

It is simple, nothing will work if the ROM is not close to AOSP.
In order to get GB to work, you will need to ditch your stock ROM and install a custom ROM which are extremely AOSP-based (CM won't get it work too).
If you insist, then you can do only nothing as the dev behind GB already stresses that GB are for AOSP ROMs and he will never ever interested on giving unsupported devices any support
Unless you're so desperate for it
You can learn compiling and decompiling so that you can grab some GB source code and make it work on your stock ROM.

I tried to to replace all the files(/system/app and /system/framework) inside the stock rom with a working custom rom(in which GB was full functioning) but when i replaced th the device was working as it was supposed to work but still GB was not working after this method

That's not how custom ROM works. And what you have done is seriously wrong
Flashing a completely new ROM is better than the unsafe file overwriting inside /system/xxxxx . Though it might be working in your eyes, however I am pretty sure there are many errors in the logcat since you have mixed up your ROM with unfamiliar files.
Flash a custom ROM that is AOSP or code a new app that does what GB does for your device
Please take note of the above paragraph. That's the choices you have.
I was using GB before. Since I tried CM, and loved it, I have been known that GB won't be supported on CM. What I did was I completely abandon GB. I even have donated to such app. I feel sad, but yea life must go on

I can share with you a simple and minimal Android rom that could make the ace completely usable in 2018... Would you be interested?
I think that the best idea is to use Android 2.3 as base (no bloatware, no TouchWiz, and no Android 4.4 that just crazily drains battery)
I' ve tested less known apps that can still run on 2.3 (and found them very fast too). I will replace old system apps with them
I also thought that a good way to push the Ace beyond it's limit is to take a look at the Sony Xperia Play threads on xda. This phone has the same cpu/gpu and it has been supported a lot through the years (being a gaming phone, Devs has done their best to optimize performance instead of themes and useless functions)
Let me know what you want to see in this rom and I'll try to do it!
Just leave a comment with an advice :fingers-crossed:
----------UPDATE--------------------------
I'm creating a NEW/Better thread for my Rom, subscribe to this one to stay tuned!

Hi tiger! Thank you!
Would you also be interested in testing the first release of the rom?
If the project will be appreciated I' ll work on next releases even more (I could recompile the rom from source, we could change the kernel, choose more in depth oprimizations ecc)
P.S. Which are the best and last roms you installed on your ace?
New rom? Great!
Would you be interested?

I could buy an Ace only to test that rom.

Hello.
I'm interested too. I recover from dust my old Galaxy Ace II (GT-S5839i), but it is very limited in memory right now. There is no easy way to extend memory with an SD card.
Some apps are not supported on the old Gigerbread 2.3.6 (Whatsapp will not have any update anymore). I was not aware of the "4.4 draining battery probelm"

Hi jaymor,
Regarding 4.4 :
the 4.4. battery consuption problem is caused by Jellybean itself. Devs that made 4,4 roms made a wonderful job, but the the ace hardware doesn't have enough power to work on a so new new/heavy os.
Regarding Whatsapp :
I don't see any reason to don't use WA on Android 2.3
1) they stopped updating it just 4 months ago (I don't know if you have the latest version)
2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.
Unfortunately you can't flash my rom (it's for s5830) I'll surely make a rom also for this device if I had a device for testing it, but first of all I have to complete this rom
Hi Mich-C.
I agree with you : Whatsapp work for now on 2.3, but they announced (I cant post link in XDA, but search Google for "WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices" ) it will not work anymore in 2020. Same for Symbian and iOS 6 (and old dino-smartphone).
Not a big deal, but if I could refurb this phone to my kids for free, it will be cool.

ok thanks
but did you know that this is not an actual Lollipop rom? It's a rom themed to look like lollipop. It was posted here on the forum, if I'm not wrong it's based on cm7.1 (so Android 2.3)

Ok, anyway we still have almost 2 year to keep using whatsapp. I hope that until then it will be replaced by something else.
I would also recompile those apks to make them working on 2.3, but apps like Whatsapp (or even Telegram) are not opensource...
sheinbo said:
Mmhh, not sure... "About Phone" shows 'Android 5.0' . I never used lollipop so I cannot verify whether it is a lookalike or a ROM. Here in the forums I did not find it, maybe you had " conceptL' in mind? That one was posted here indeed as far as I remember. And that one is a CM 7.1

The showed android version can be modified by the dev.
The name of the author is probably hidden in settings or in the easter egg (touch 7 times "about phone")
Last "actual" android version that was developed fo ace is kitkat

Well, it's a very nice rom but I find useless to fuse both the look of iOS and LineageOS on a CyanogenMod rom, it would be better If he just made a pure iOS or LineageOS looklike rom.
I like the fact that he didn't install GApps and the full Facebook app, I won't include them too in my rom too! (I'll try to do it without losing features)
My rom should also be faster than this one, or at the least I hope so
@Mich-C haven't you shared your ROM eventually? I'd be interested too.
Hi @Erpinoob
I'm sorry for making you and other users wait, the reasons are
1)I'm busy for the university
2)Recently I got a boot-loop I'm going to fix
3)I don't want to release 99999 versions of the rom
4)I'm including several "old" tools for android 2.3, often links are not working and so I'm still waiting for developers to provide me new links
4)I'm learning how to develop apps in Android Studio at the university, and I'm taking advantage of this creating 2-3 exclusive apps for my rom
I hope to finish the rom after christmas holidays, anyway I'll tag in the post all those who left a comment in this thread
Greetings
