Hello Tari! I have Running your awesome ROM on my Padfone2, and i find it a very smooth and cool ROM! Thank You, for your Work in it!
I have a Question, - There is a Custom Lollipop ROM on XDA for Padfone S/X! Do you think that work on Padfone2? And the Nexus4 is almost the same hardware as Padfone2, is it possible that a Nexus4 Custom Lollipop ROM works on Padfone2?
Many, Thanks to you for your Work, Time and Engagement!

Thanks for the kind words roselanguste, I am glad you are satisfied with the ROM.
As for the Lollipop, porting it onto the Padfone2 would be lot of work. There are too many ASUS-specific details that would have to be changed, plus for the kernel to work we would need updated hardware modules and firmware. As far as I am concerned, KitKat is the last stop for our device.
can you give me step by step how to flash cwm after unlocking the phone (using ansarijavid method for unlock)?
kinda new for this stuff
running 8.1 64 bit
does this rom fix weird colour contrast after put the phone into sleep?

Create a folder, download the needed files into it and open a terminal from there
Make sure the tools are present: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Enable USB Debugging on the phone
Boot into fastboot mode (Power, Volume up)
Install the CWM recovery: sudo fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery cwm.img
Note: The above is for Linux - no extras are needed, you just plug in your phone and go. Windows users should probably need some drivers, enable ADB, and change the "sudo + COMMAND" parts.

I have not had any contrast troubles, so I really can't tell. The kernel is the latest PF2 can handle, and the firmware is also up-to-date. There should be no issues.

i'm a completely noob about linux so my only question is : is the procedure reversible? my only fear is about this " sudo fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery cwm.img" , if i type wrong a value what's going to happen? Brick or simply a failrure in the procedure?
Thanks in advance

This command is fairly safe. It simply means: "use fastboot to write the cwm.img image to an ASUS device (0x0b05 is your PadFone)". If you feel paranoid you can search for a Stock Recovery image. You can always flash that file instead of cwm.img to get your device back to factory state. Bricking is harder than you think. The bottom line: always read the instructions carefully, make sure you have EXACTLY what is required, and go slowly step-by-step. If you are unsure, or there is an error, do not try to fix it by yourself - go to the forums and tell the people about it, someone will surely help you out.

Yes. ROMs are always packaged in a ZIP - you just send it to your CWM (sideload seems to be the fastest).
it's going automatically in recovery mode? Because i don't know how to enter in it and there're tons of procedure throughout the web.
i'm referring to this point : 3. Boot into recovery mode.
I thought that power + bottom up volume was for the recovery mode, indeed is for the fastboot mode.
Thanks for your courtesy
ULTRA LOL: i forgot to try power + volume down when i wrote this post, sorry xD

So it seems you have got it right, but just for future reference:
Power + Volume Up = fastboot/csc
Power + Volume Down = recovery
It goes for most Android devices, ASUS especially.
i'm blocked at point 9... it says "cannot read sideload".. i've tried solutions found online like rename folder, or use adb push but in this it says "acces: blocked"..
help please :crying:
news: when i tried the normal boot of the padfone it returned to original conditions, it's like new eek: . factory mode returned like new, too
Now how i can use the other procedure (without sideload) ? i have to put simply the file in the root?

I see no reason why sideload or push shouldn't work. When you enter CWM recovery you select the sideload option and then send your ROM from the PC. On Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) adb/fastboot tools are in system locations, so you need to run the commands with "sudo" to elevate your privileges.
Here are the detailed steps:
Boot into fastboot mode (Power, Volume up)
Install the CWM recovery: sudo fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery cwm.img
Boot into recovery mode (Power, Volume down)
Select "wipe data/factory reset"
Select "install zip from sideload"
Send the ROM to the phone: sudo adb sideload ROMNAME.zip
Wait until it says it's done, then select "reboot"
When CWM asks "ROM may flash stock rocovery on boot. Fix?" Choose "No"
When CWM asks "ROM access possibly lost. Fix?" Choose "No"
Alternatively, you could simply plug in your phone, copy the ROM to the root folder (/sdcard) using nautilus/nemo or any other file manager you're using, then go to CWM and select "Install zip from SD card", then browse for it.
As for your phone looking like a fresh one, it's because you still have the stock ROM and it has been reset to factory settings. This should not bother you at all.
I tried everything with ubuntu but nothing... so i put the rom in the root and flashed by sd card. Everything seems to be ok now DDD I'm trying your rom like now.
Thanks a lot

I think we need to know a little bit more about your problem to see if there is help:
- How did you get an invalid kernel?
- Is the device unlocked/do you have custom recovery on it?
Im New in the asus sector...okay I have root with towelroot and forget to unlock the bootloader!!! The not normal booting and Invalid kernel Problem is coming from twrp flash.

Unlocking the bootloader is always the first step. You can fix things, though. First, remove towelroot, and any other rooting mechanisms you may have - you do not need them, custom roms are pre-rooted.
If you are running a 4.1 or 4.2 ROM follow the points from this post
If you have KitKat, it is a bit more complicated, see this post
WARNING: If your device has been serviced (specifically the motherboard replaced), you will not be able to unlock it!

This thread was made for persons looking for custom roms for the Alcatel Pop C2
I found a custom rom for the Alcatel Pop C3 4033x and this phone has the exact same specs as the Alcatel Pop C2 4032a. This is a guide on how to install the rom and report any bugs you may have with the rom other than the ones that are already there.
NOTE: I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROM I'M JUST SHARING IT HERE. The person who created the rom is from the miui forum and you can visit that forum and thank him here.

Language - English, Chinese
HOW TO INSTALL
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted Phone
ADB Drivers
Custom Recovery
Make a backup first in case anything happens.
Download the rom and gapps from the download section and place it somewhere on your computer.
Install a custom recovery, i would recommend using the Carliv Touch Recovery 2.7 or any recovery that can install zip from sideload. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE A RECOVERY WITH THIS FEATURE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANY DATA( INTERNAL STORAGE). ALSO DO NOT INSTALL USING SDCARD EITHER!
Place the rom in the same folder where it is possible to use ADB, what i did was allow ADB to work from anywhere on the PC. You can do that here if you wish.
Go to recovery by either using the button method or use some app to go to recovery. Do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Go to install zip then install zip from sideload.
Open the command window from the folder where your rom is by pressing shift then right click if you are able to run ADB from anywhere OR doing it the other way open the command window from the folder where the ADB is.
Type in the command window: adb drivers
then adb sideload and the name of the rom
It will start loading and sending the rom to your phone.
Do the same for the gapps.
A trick when at the sideload step, press the first two letters of the rom name and then press tab and it will fill out the rest of the letters.
DOWNLOADSROM
Gapps- Download other google apps from the playstore
SCREENSHOTS- The emergency calls only are there because i did not have a sim in the phone but it can work with a sim :good:

If (and only if) you unlocked the bootloader, install a flash app, such as Flasify or Rashr, from Play Store and then flash the .img file.

Open an adb shell or a terminal emulator on the phone (with root privileges, of course) and write reboot recovery, then enter. Otherwise, you can download Quick Boot from play store and choose the recovery option.
If you see the PhilZ recovery instead of the stock 3e one, you're gone.
If you want to access the recovery when the phone is off, you have to do the factory reset process: keep pressed power and volume down. When you see the LG logo, release the power button (keeping pressed vol down) and then keep it pressed again until you see the factory reset menu. Using volume and power keys, start the reset process and you will redirect to the custom recovery. :good:
