Hello Xda devs,
Just got one of these phones before some days. I am impressed by the solidity of device hardware and software wise.
I was stock 5.0 and tried to setup the phone as usual but the result was very poor due to hardware. The phone is really struggling with the huge Google apps and services.
I unlocked the bootloader with Kingroot and adb command and then installed TWRP for lollipop and flashed fRomFuture ROM.
I didnt install any account into the phone just imported a vcf for my contacts.
The uninstalled some of the bloatware with root uninstaller and made some mods in build prop
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=192m
dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.75
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=512k
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=16m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=512m
and the classic ones nobody knows if work actually
ro.min_pointer_dur=8
ro.max.fling_velocity=12000
ro.min.fling_velocity=8000
net.tcp.buffersize.default=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.umts=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.gprs=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.edge=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
The device is usable now. I am using the Jelly bean keyboard which is fast and light, slim launcher and Pixel theme as a theme. I can upload on request the files here.
My next step with the device is to flash the CM13 ROM. But now i have a problem that i must have the Android M firmware to flash this ROM. I am on TWRP rooted L and i don't know how to flash the stock M ROM from now.
I followed the steps from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69383769&postcount=303
but i got errors 11 and 2 when try to boot on stock recovery. The device is not automatically updating even the new file is at the right folder.
I thought all is over that i did things very bad until the device booted normally the OS. Then i flashed again the TWRP for Lollipop. So i am now here again. But it would be nice to have CM13.
Any help is appreciated.
The last 2 screenshots are the list of system apps i uninstalled from device with root uninstaller.
Why messing with this old device?
I believe the devices from the years 2015,2016,2017 was the most innovative of all. It was the solid ground base for all these great devices we see today.
