Hi guys,
with new ICS themes for stock ROM becoming available, one of my needs (aesthetic) to go MIUI went down.
Considering also the issues MIUI has on SGS2 (bad voice calls, not 100% smooth, not great battery life, gps slow and unreliable), I'm going back to stock.
... except I'm not really sure how to do it.
Would you suggest
- install mobile odin (I have no windows pc)
- download and flash KJ3 (ROM kitchen, pre-rooted)
would make it right ?
This way I think I couldn't make any deep clean, I suppose...
or perhaps you could suggest something better ?
Many thanks
Just get the rom you want, go into recovery.
Select wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced, wipe dalvik-cache
Then flash your new rom.
Edit-
Those bugs you have with MIUI, I don't have 'em. If you want ICS, you better wait.
I've jumped from MIUI to stocks with great battery and great kernals to ICS and stuff but I keep going back to MIUI.
I've done this more than 10 times but I'm still going back to MIUI...
(Edit)
If you have MIUI you should have CWM right?
Just flash Simple&Clean or Checkrom (I prefer either these, Simple&Clean prefered for me), then flash the ICS Theme, I prefer Big Bang's for this, I can't get Vertumus's to work...)
Then I'll flash a kernal to save some battery (I use Speedmod's Kernal!)
Then I'll wipe everything in CWM and reboot!
Hi all, I flashed today Paranoid Android 3.99 - 29.08.2013 (I come from Vanilla RootBox) on my Samsung Galaxy SII, and I noticed that except for gapps everytime I flash something else the phone stuck on the bootscreen.
I flashed Dorimanx 9.39 and it worked at first but after a reboot it got stucked, after I kept the stock kernel of the ROM and try to flash PurePerformanceX and it got stucked again.
Procedure before and after flashing ROM and everything else:
1. Nandroid Backup
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Cache&Davlik
4. Flash PA 3.99
5. Wipe cache (just for safety )
6. Flash Gapps
(6.1. Flash PurePerformanceX the second time without installing the Dorimanx)
7. Flash GS2KernelWIpe2.09
8. Flash Dorimanx 9.39
I tried also to do point 7&8 before the 6, but it's the same.
Anyone else having this kind of problem?
Cheers!

Nope, I haven't tried that version of PA yet, it's on my to-flash list but testing something else right now. You mentioned using hawkerpaul's kernel wipe script...
What I would do (and personally follow every flash) is:
Flash ROMNuke script by hawkerpaul
Flash PA
Flash Gapps
Flash dorimanx
No other wipes other than the ROMNuke script. Then, see if it boots (& reboots). If it does, then flash your performance mod. If that causes bootloops, my guess is that the performance mod isn't updated for 4.3 yet. Either find a new performance mod, or tune dorimanx so you don't need one
See how you go.

at first I tried without PurePerformanceX, just PA+Gapps+Dorimanx. I actually use to flash the kernel before flashing gapps, 'cause a lot time flashing gapps before the kernel gave me some problem.
to answer to the other question, yes, I used the GS2KernelWipe by hawkerpaul
By the way, there is a guide for a good tuning of Dorimanx kernel?
Ok so have you tried his ROMNuke script? Never had an issue if I flash that before a ROM /kernel /gapps.
Hmm. Depends on what you want it for. I tune mine for battery, but not to the point of any lag. Someone else doesn't care about battery, and just wants s3 speed on a 2 year old phone. See what I mean? In saying that, read the last 5-10 pages of the Dorimanx discussion thread. That'll give you a pretty good idea of what works for performance. Obviously a god step is the 'performance' profile in Stweaks
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
I'm doing backups before trying . Let you know how it will go.
I'm actually looking for a good battery life but avoiding lags , anyway thanks for the tips
it seems working properly now! thx for all

Good to hear! Re: tuning dorimanx, search for (it may even be linked in OP of dev or discussion thread) for a post by droidphile on governors, i/o schedulers etc. That's a great place to start. Wait I just found it, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817. Start reading up there :good:
Holy crap, we're getting nightlies!
Could it be possible to set up a thread for people to flash and test the nightlies, then post their experiences, as well as maybe support on flashing and the like?
Build cm-12.1-20150704-NIGHTLY-i777 Install fine on my sgh-i777. Phone bug still there. I used Tasker to toggle the speaker on and off for incoming calls and it seemed to work ok. Build ran cool and stable for the short time I had it install. Surprised with the Cyanogen Recovery limitations, seems like it won't install zip files. Had to use Mobile Odin to flash a kernel to get CWM recovery back to restore backup file.
Meh. I like Slim better, and it actually gives you a decent recovery (cough, CM) and some nice customization without feeling cluttered.
This is a debloated/slightly modified ROM. There are NO ASUS apps, and only the bare minimum Google apps. I don't use any of the Fit apps, so they have been removed, but I believe they can be easily reinstalled through the PlayStore. Everything on the watch is significantly faster, except the Bluetooth call lag still exists on 4G, like it does on every device lately. I don't notice the bluetooth lag when the phone and watch are connected to WiFi. There is no watch face installed, so install one from the PlayStore after it boots. I pulled the boot animation from the developer preview, and the clock works during boot. It's pretty sexy.
Within the zip are the boot and recovery files as well, which include TWRP and a patched boot.img for Magisk. You'll need to sideload the latest Magisk Manager to have root access.
DIRECTIONS:
Download and extract Sparrow_7.1.1_Debloat
Boot into fastboot mode.
fastboot -w (This wipes the device, which is HIGHLY recommended.)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.simg
I highly recommend starting with fastboot -w to wipe the device. If you run into any issues at all and didn't wipe before install, then wipe and try again before posting issues. Also, pay close attention to the SIMG in system.simg. Type it exactly as it's posted, or copy and paste it. The SIMG is important lol.
Anyone running this ROM should look into this mod by @LeeonLee. Everything is noticeably smoother and lightning fast. I haven't gotten any Bluetooth lag since I implemented it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...parrowaw2-0-enabling-cores-gpu-boost-t3800427
Let me know what you guys think and if I should add/remove anything. I plan to add some more tricks if I update the ROM, including some speed tweaks. Happy Flashing!!!
Appears to work fine here.

Hi...I install this rom and the mod leeonlee, my watch have high battery drain, I do not know what to do
Did the battery life get significantly worse compared to stock 2.0? There was no noticeable difference in battery life for me. It was always horrible on 2.0 for me.
I have been running this for almost 3 weeks with @LeeonLee mod, and I haven't gotten any significant Bluetooth lag for calls. Before his mod, it wasn't uncommon that my phone would ring for 5 seconds before the watch showed me someone was calling. I mainly use my watch for riding my motorcycle, so any call lag is a big deal when I can't see who is calling.
I also haven't gotten the "not available" message when using voice commands since the mod.
Hello, I'm using still the stock rom, just rooted + performance patch, watch last 2 days, even 3 days when not used so intensively.

Maybe I should look into the build.prop mods I added from another watch. Perhaps it's causing excessive battery usage. It could also be that my watch battery is degraded.
which version of magisk manager and how sideload it? i'm little bit noob with adb
Here is a much easier way if you don't know adb too well. Download the latest Magisk installer zip from the Magisk thread onto your PC. I personally am using the 16.4 beta at this time. The Magisk Manager is included in the Magisk zip. Assuming you have TWRP installed, boot into recovery using *adb reboot recovery* or swipe from the top right when booting. The watch is recognized as a storage drive when it's in recovery. Then you can copy the Magisk zip from you PC to your watch, and install it with TWRP. This will give you the latest Magisk and Magisk Manager.

Never thought about using TWRP to transfer the zip, I just simply pushed it via adb and then rebooted to TWRP to install magisk zip.
BTW, after installing recovery.zip, boot.zip, magisk.zip, I rooted and setup the OnDemand script. It now is much smoother and don't see any noticeable lags. I downloaded System Info Wear to check that the script is actually working. It shows all four cores running at 787Mhz. Kudos to @LeeonLee for the script setup!! Many thanks also to @CVertigo1 !! I also decided to do what @LeeonLee mentioned in regards to stock rom staying put. I wasnt too eager to wipe current system just yet
hi guys... the smartwatch finally is usable.. but i have a question, have the wrist gestures been removed?
Just want to say that I've been using this ROM for a few weeks now, along with the core unlock mod. And it is amazing. The watch is so much more fluid. And with my rather light usage (always on, no gestures) I still get a full day out of the battery. I'm also glad all the extra bloat is gone. No apps I'll never use and no watchfaces I never set.
If you are thinking about switching from stock, highly recommended.
Thanks @CVertigo1

Wrist gestures are still there, you just have to turn on that setting under Gesture settings.

I really appreciate the kind words. That's exactly what I was going for. I'm not big into searching through a hundred apps to find the few I need, so I prefer my devices to be very militaristic. If I need Fit apps, or any other app, I'll install them separately. They don't need to live in the system. I stripped as much as I could without causing bootloops. I may be able to pull a few more out for the next ROM upload, and I'll also include @LeeonLee mods.
despite my limited modding skills I managed to do everything without doing any damage .. a big thank you to @CVertigo1 and @LeeonLee for the great work ..
Hope @CVertigo1 will be able to port a zenwatch3 rom on 2 one day...
Can I use this rom for wren?
I have just recently installed this on my watch, and it is very nice! The only thing that I noticed is that the pedometer (through Google Fit) does not seem to count the steps I am taking, is this related to some of the files be removed or is it just Google?
I'm not working at the moment but I want to send you a donation as soon as I can. I wanted to thank you because your debloated ROM managed to get my watch booting up once again for the first time in nearly a year. You deserve a donation because you saved me from spending money I don't wanna waste on an entirely new watch.
Is there any way to install some watchfaces stock after installing this Rom?

Hey guys,
Newbie here. I am very excited about my new yet to be received phone - X829 using EUI 5.8.016S (Stable).
I care about call quality, camera quality, sound quality using the CDLA technology headphones (in this order).
I don't consider myself a heavy user - I talk maybe 30 mins per day maximum, light web browsing, no gaming...
Should I stick to the stock rom supplied EUI 5.8.016S or is it worth upgrading to something else? Like, will a custom ROM yield better call quality, camera quality and sound quality than the stock rom?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi, i am also a X829 user and i would suggest you to try recently released EUI 6.0.030s, which has great battery life and network receiving, of course quite stable.Camera quality is also good.
This one is the same rom modified by CrisBallGreece that includes system adblocker by default and preinstalled magisk manager, removed unnecessary leeco apps and chinese garbage apps.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. How do I get the 'cleaned-up' version installed? Not familiar with either super su or magisk. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? The threads I found make reference to super su but can't download it from the official website. Sorry if this was already addressed in a different thread...
Thanks a lot!
Follow this link :

First of all, you should unlock your bootloader and flash twrp (a custom recovery mode, allows you flash rom).
Download rom and gapps then put them to your device, backup your data.Reboot to recovery mode.Press wipe - wipe data, go back and press install - find the rom you copied and flash it.Once the phone booted, go back to recovery and flash gapps in the same way then reboot.That's it.
This is the only way to flash any type of rom.
Btw, magisk is a root manager like the supersu, gives you root access of the system.
Hi,
Thanks for the very informative post. I got my phone yesterday and started to play with it As expected, I had some hard time installing the EUI 6 CBG version. I think it's because I installed a very recent (if not the most recent) version of TWRP...From memory, the one I installed is 3.2.2...Anyhow, EUI seemed to install fine and I got the success message displayed in TWRP along with the note 'phone will reboot in 5 seconds' or something like that - which never happened.
I then installed Lineage OS 15 Oreo because I didn't know how to downgrade TWRP.
So do you think that the problem I had was because of the TWRP version I used? how does one downgrade that?
Also, I installed the Gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...x-lineageos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577) but Google services gives an error message...'Google stopped working'. Is there a workaround for that?
Thanks!
Andrei
Hi mate,
Right after that " phone will reboot ..." note, you should have rebooted the device by pressing and holding the power button for 8-9 secs and it would be fine.
No, latest twrp version works fine and is compatible with this firmware.
Hmm, you can try to delete the app data of google play services.Have you flashed the los 15 with full wipe ?
Btw los 15 is not mature enough.It still has some battery consumption problems and the battery life lasts not as long as EUI's. + I don't know if it has CDLA sound mod but it doesn't contain dolby digital sound.
Hi,
I believe I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, system, data).
I will try again to flash EUI 6 by CBG tonight.
The workaround for gapps was to flash them at the same time with LOS 15. Previously I flashed LOS 15, rebooted into the system, went back to recovery twrp and then flashed the gapps.
Thanks!
Yeah, flashing the gapps with rom in a row is not a workaround, its a must-to-do.Unfortunately i forgot to mention this to you.Apologises..
Great, thanks a lot! it worked. I'm getting used to it right now. Will play with this ROM for a couple of weeks and then try something else...I was thinking SLIM7...any thoughts on it? have you tried it? any red flags?
Thanks!
I am also thinking to move that rom, but later.Well its the final version so no bugs.But i don't know if it supports cdla sound mod, do you know ?

Not sure if it supports CDLA...I tried this rom briefly the other day and I had a hard time with the camera...battery seemed to deplete quite fast, but I'm sure it can improved with different settings, greenify, etc...try it and let me know if you like it.
Which other roms have you tried?
Thanks!
Most non-eui roms will have slightly worse battery life making greenify an absolute must.
But if you want a non-eui rom (like me, I just hate eui) I recommend lineage 15.1 or du12 by infrag(my current rom).
Hi man, after a long time, I had a change to try different rom, named mokee 7.1.2 (nougat).Well, it's not bad, performance is excellent, not a single lag at all. Also the battery backup is good, not perfect as EUI but acceptable.
Pros of this rom are, it's being updated in a nightly period and Android security patch is dated as august 5 2018 !
You may check it out if you are interested..
Regards.
I am also on DU12 thinking to try 1 of Android P roms, is it time or to wait ?
