AndroidGX, i think you give up too easy. This is very new hardware and from what i can tell is superior to the old one. at least for me...

Hi! :)
I just acquired the G901F aswell, already rooted and installed your recovery find, which is working good at the exception of flashing a ROM that I just made.
I'am using ArchiKitchen to make the ROM, everything is fine about the rom creation part but I always face a Status 6 error code when flashing the ROM via this Recovery.
Just talked with the developer or the kitchen, but unfortunately he have no idea of my error, since the generated updater-script is absolutely perfect, so I'am wondering if the recovery accepts roms higher than 1GB or there is something wrong when reading/traducing the updater-script itself since it stuck at the almost end of the script with errors that are not.

Any help would be appreciated, so I will release the first G901F optimized rom ever, and as I'am a kernel developer also, I already can't wait to release one also but for now my priority is clearly to flash this rom :good:
Thanks in advance ;)

Will wait for your rom. Coming from s2

Something new in this one?

So far nothing really new I guess, I didn't payed attention but compared to ANIA4, I can see Blocking mode (mode blocage) is back. And something weird but I can remember not seeing the option to disable camera shutter sound when flashing ANK5 via odin, but is back when flashed with my optimized rom, but maybe I'am wrong because I didn't have enough time to really check :good:

Well, now, back from work for more investigation :)

One difference for this time, with Netherland firmware I have lost in logs selection for have only voice message. specification of Orange.
I hope it's was possible to keep this selection in a new cutom rom ??

Orange's overlay is crap.

The only operator to make things like this for this model.
But they have always done.
This is history for them.

Best regards
Franck

Yes, I'me ok with you but this option for found only voice messages in logs is very interesting. It's the one thing interesting with orange. And there is no other solution that use their box voice messages.:crying::crying:

Sorry, did not understand and don't know what is it for.
Are you talking about notifications only for voice messages?

    Hello,

    All credits to @Chainfire

    Tuto's here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980683

    File to download is here http://download.chainfire.eu/481/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.zip

    Edit 2014/12/01:

    Added CWM Recovery in English working for G901F.
    Thanks to @Chenglu for making this possible.

    Bugs in CWM:

    Aroma interface not working (...Aroma doesn't support MSM OVERLAY display mode, g901f kernel only use MSM OVERLAY...) Pb See here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57163957&postcount=26

    Everything else is working.
