-Disable in settings/Assist Funtion the White list option to prevent issues with apps and notifications.

-in settings/language & keyboard you can enter google keyboard settings.
in advanced settings you can change to different color themes or use your own , or change the long press delay or keypress vibration etc..


Smoother System
In Nova Launcher settings got to "look and feel" and set
the animation and scroll speed to "faster then light"

For all that use other languages on device than English US and have system crashes :


I live in Italy and just received device and set my System language to ITALIAN language, device always was in crash in all environment, in particular after logged in my Google Account and using Play services.

As soon i have changed System language to ENGLISH USA, no more System crash !!!!!


Italian language BUG discovered !! Please Elephone, FIX THIS !!!!

Good news.
Tomorrow or in 2 days (related to my free time)
I will upload version 1.5.
One good thing: you can reboot to recovery or bootloader then :D (option will be in rom)
For example then you can unlock the bootloader

great thing !

Don't know why Elephone has HW disabled this but i think it's another Bug related problem :laugh:

Using Spirit 2 app ... it tell me that kernel is not configurated to use this app ( to use FM Radio tuner ) . Stock app is useful but less beautiful, if you can enable something in kernel to make it works Spirit 2 could be Great

Do you have a link.
Maybe I missed the latest update.
If not , then the base ,my rom based on is the latest.
Anyway I only use it as a skelet. Nothing more. My rom
Will be highly customisable with great battery and performance when I am finished with it.
Problem is When is the finish/end.:D

Edit:

Checked it on needrom.. seems that that is the latest base. From 10.10

    But there isn't a recovery installed with this Rom right ?
    No. We don't have twrp or other custom recovery right now.

    But you don't need it in v1.5 you can flash zips direct from my rom. The option will work like a emulator. :D
    Let me surprise you
