I present to you a preview ANDROID-M. Rooted. Android M launcher, Camera, Photos. It took bauuu a long time to create it that way for our phone. " I will not talk much about it, but it works. Very good battery life, smooth, stable and suitable for daily use. There are additional settings in the options of the developer. See terms batteries (not one of gravitybox). Dynamic status bar, the new settings interface. The first launch will take more time, and the phone will restart automatically after. Just be patient, until you see the main screen. It Multilingual firmware" - bauuu.
After installation, restart once to fix problems with the display memory. With kernel BINDU.

For "pure HD graphics" tweak" , flash zip from attachment. Improves GPU rendering performance without affecting battery life. It is tweak specially build for MTK devices.
For enhanced sound quality you can try "viper4android" app and move that app to system so that it is processing without being killed.
Unique Features you can Experience:-
* ART (activated ART instead of dalvik ( developers menu) & still not encountered any issues )
* Android M Boot animation
* Lollipop like recent apps ( mainly, quickly switches between huge again saying huge apps )
* Antutu Benchmark - 15858 ( I personally do not follow antutu completely because it shows that our device ( lenovo p780) only surpasses 50 % in battery performance. What to say ?
* Crosses 3S criteria :- Smooth, Stable & Speed. :victory:
* Great Multitasking ability for proof see screenshot.
( chrome - huge ram user, MX player, OfficeSuite pro, WhatsApp, better camera pro, es file explorer, play music, gmail & quickpic gallery - all these apps were opened & was able to multitask without any drawback )
* Also great battery life because when it sleeps it saves battery to large extent :-See screenshot.
* Dynamic Status Bar just like chameleon - Enjoy the colours while surfing colourful webpages.
* Use Seeder for complete lag reduction.
* Also gives option to delete screenshot in status bar - one of features of Android M as told by google in I/O.
* 16 MP image capture ability + HDR working.
To experience follow below steps :-
1) Install better camera apk.
2) convert it to system app using titanium backup.
3) uninstall google camera because panorama features does not work with it, but it works with better camera app - ( most highly recommend camera app by professional photographers).
4) Enjoy HD image capturing because HDR feature creates 11 MB size photo.
5) optional - use quickpic gallery app for faster access to your images.
Patches :- (Camera fix 8-2014) I think any patch is able to fix the problem on the camera's new Chinese versions. Since I did not CN 4GB phone, I can not verify it. Try it and if it does not write to the QMS. You can find file on other forums.
I am greatly thankful to bauuu for his development of such a unique rom. Also warm regards to AndreyZo and Andreya108 for their huge development in development of lenovo p780 (A super mini computer but with huge battery life).

The modem might not work in your area. Try other modem by flaashing it.
You will find other modem files in stympy's threads.

Yes miui is quite good. But it lacks in battery backup but gives nearly full performance.
My experience of battery when device is awake for nearly half of the time (90%-10%):
Stock ROM : 21 hrs 53 min
Android M preview : 1 day 21 hrs
MIUI : 12 hrs 54 min
To have complete google experience just like in case of nexus phones. Install google now launcher and convert it to system app using titanium backup.
Also I would like to mention that 246 MB is still free in system, which gives us advantage of moving useful apps to system.

Hello anujyadava,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
For improved graphics performance try pure HD tweak from attachment. It will eliminate lagginess during animation.
For ram purpose , can u tell are you on dalvik or art because but I am enjoying multitasking on ART without any drawback.
Sometimes even I forget to clear tasks, because there is no need. Only when I open recent panel I come to know that this much apps are running. ✌

i was on dalvik,changed to ART now and flashed the pure HD tweak zip and will monitor the multitasking now.will report the results soon.thanks anyways.
edit:everytime i change to art and reboot it is still dalvik.i am using CN base rom.any workaround for this

---

I am on ROW layout.
I rebooted several times and it is still on ART.
R u using xposed framework because when xposed is active it changes the runtime to dalvik as it is not compatible with it. I experienced such issues with xposed and ART.

---

Try Seeder for lag reduction. Now this device works like a charm.

Thanks for the share . I really love this rom so much .
Good for multitasking
So far no lagging or over heating issue while playing games.
Seeder app will fix the animation lags
Its not possible to adjust the media and notification volume using volume up and down keys from desktop .
Rom toolbox pro or rom toolbox lite is not working .
Modem issue is fixed after flashing s226 modem .
So far good .

See if one tweak is working or if you want some tweak to work it is necessary that you remove the control over your ROM from existing tweaks. Its governer or SD card read write speed is already monitored & controlled by inbuilt system.
I haven't felt any use of ROM toolbox and haven't used it since bindu kernel was made available for our phone.
And thanks for sharing your experience.

If you want to have expanded volume control on desktop using keys then gravitybox xposed module is there for such modifications.
But when you install xposed framework then your runtime will change from ART to dalvik.

For some app dark theme is not working . instead of black theme its showing blue theme . I love rom . my phone is free from overheating issues ??

Our system gathers some "real" random numbers by keeping an eye about different events: network activity, hardware random number generator etc.
Seeder app increases that rngd data & enhances I/O queue.
Main thing is it stops that service after screen off to save huge amount of battery.
Also it increases entropy by much amount upto 4096.
U have to just install that app & tick all the boxes and finally push enable button.
