I'm interested in (developing?) a clean ROM for this device, anyone can show me some pointers on how to do that? Do these Chinese boxes contain any spyware? Or are they clean and don't upload user data/meta data besides GAPS being installed and uploading to google. I have some experience with...

I use the latest Ubuntu under Virtual Box in windows. In the VM configuration of the ubuntu VM image i specify the android image to be mounted as well.

Yeah thats possible, however only before you injected the image, you wont be able to install XPosed then however (and with it XPrivacy, one of the few ways to make an Android phone secure) For example if you inject a rooted image, but then by mistake update SU breaking the root, a reboot of...

You mean the system image? Basically you can change what you want.. however if you delete stuff it might impact other things that use it as well. In the image I created last year I tried to remove most bloatware (all verizon, and some unhandy motorola apps), removed the noisy bootanimation and...

In theory that should be possible, unless 6-7.7 has something baked in that counteracts the process, which i can confirm 6-7.3 did not have yet. To be 100% sure someone has to try this out.

Alas, i guess it's not possible to find the tethering apps or stock live wallpapers in the market (anymore) You have to find the apk's somewhere on the net i'm afraid.

1) I'm not sure it does that, can't reproduce, but if it does on your machine i'm sorry to say i dont have the time to figure that out, you can always try it yourself if you just puzzle together the advices in the many posts in this thread. 2) You can install live wallpaper apps yourself, i...

well sadly the 615 is still 28nm tech, was hoping for a really powerefficient 14nm processor, it's not like those are not out there yet...

Hallo. Are you saying that you had random shutdowns a couple of times a day, which where fixed by running a battery calibration? You are now running this rom without any crashes/shutdowns?

awesome man, keep up the good work for these amazing phones

congrats! well done. fun isn't it? customizing your own phone? ---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ---------- In theory you could ofcourse grab your OTA system image (if the device is already rooted) diff it with what you want and reflash that, the...

yeah you are right, i forgot about that (ran into the same problem myself back then) anyway the method crack.mech pointed out should work

I did use that phyton script myself, however if you are not sure about it, you can always just grab the image from the phone after you flashed vanilla with RDS right? like this: set sBD="%date%-%time:~0,2%.%time:~3,2%" adb wait-for-device adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p38...

Why dont you make a diff between the vanilla/original rom and your version of the rom? That way you just have to flash the vanilla with RDS and then your own and then you will be done. Here crack.mech explained how to convert the original (non rooted) rom to something you can diff with your own...

Actually, in diff.txt i put a string (the text content) that is almost fit to copy paste to the python script, however you need to delete a starting quote and comma and place a closing quote behind it. You could also by hand edit the python script, the line that says which parts it need to use...
