GThrill ROM for JIAYU G3

The latest version GThrill ROM is based on "CM10" rom from needrom.com. I have applied some tweaks, removed some apps, added some and added option for the selection of EN (ph, us) language. The original purpose was for personal use, but I thought to share it, in case anyone wants to try.

Flashing instructions

As a safety precaution, always make a backup before flashing

1) Download the zip file and put in SD card
2) Boot to recovery mode (CWM, TWRP or Lewa Rec)
3) Flash the zip file you (from #1)
4) (optional, but highly recommended!) Do a factory reset
5) Reboot
6) Once you see the lock screen on first boot after the update, let it set for 1min (to fully settle the update)
7) Unlock and setup things (esp. if you did factory reset)

First of all tkank you for the development of this awsome rom. I don´t know if what I´m asking is possible, but why don´t you contact JDStar, who has developed another multilanguage lewa rom and ask him for permissions to add the tranaslations to your rom? This is the link to his rom:

CMW recovery flashed but no go

Hi there,

I tried to get into the newly flashed CWMR but somehow I've failed. What I've done is use mobileuncle tools to get into CWM 5 and from there flash the zipfile I've downloaded from the sources. Now the CWM app does boot into recovery but I get this little android figure with a ! from it's belly. Not good I suppose.

I'd realy like to try out this rom but without working recovery I'm a bit scared I'm going to brick the thing....

Could you please advise??

Greetings,

Andreas

Installed last night.
Looks nice, work fine, stable. Well done

I have only one issue.
USB won't work.
When Jiayu is connected to PC, USB storage is not recognised. Any solution for this?

boot into normal Android and run MTKTools again and flash CWMR... this time, do it three (3) times in a row, before rebooting.

i'm not sure, may be you need correct drivers installed to your pc.

try using different USB port of your PC

Drivers are ok. Tried every single port. Worked fine 2 days ago - Jiayu was with ICS 4.0.4.
Not recognised as a mass storage.

dd rules!

Didn't work. Got it working using the dd method (way easier if you ask me

).
Now, I've installed CWM 5.5.0.4 in /dev/recovery but when trying to flash the zip file for the LewaOS rom it gives me 'cannot open file'. Is that because I need the newer version of CWM mentioned in the opening post? Or just something else? Perhaps because there's 'spaces' in the filename? I'll let you know if I find something out there !

** Update **
I downloaded the correct rom but still no go

It just doesn't want to install the rom...

Hi
Reflashed again.
Everything is fine.

I think is slower than original ICS 4.0.4 ROM, but stable and good.
Keep up good work!

***Update:***
Battery life much improved, at least 15-20%

I found this ROM very good so far.
There's only small issue with some mobile web sites. Some of the links cannot be open.
I've installed Opera browser in addition but is exactly the same so
I'm not sure: maybe there is a problem in ROM or badly written mobile web sites.
Thanks a lot
