Hello Guys !

In this thread you will find my custom ROM And Recovery for the Wiko DarkMoon
Please be sure to read (and re-read) this carefully in order to avoid unnecessary questions.

Instructions and Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

For Instructions jump into post #2.
FAQ jump into post #3.
Wiko DarkMoon internal memory re-partition, jump into post #4.
How to Revert to the STOCK Rom / Recovery / Partition Layout, jump into post #4.

Recovery INFO

The salient features of Carliv Touch Recovery include:

Based on CWM 6.0.4.4
Full Touch Support
With features of Cannibal Open Touch
Aroma File Manager Support
Support for both Edify and Amend scripting allows flashing all ROMs
Touch screen button controls
Advanced Backup
Advanced Restore
Delete old backups
Persistent settings
User-defined backup locations
ADB Sideload

Update CTR v2.5 (30/07/2014)

Changelogs:

New Menu Layout
Tar + Gzip Backup Compression : ( "Backup/Restore" -> "Default Backup Format" )
Your Backups will be smaller now, just like on the old native CWM
Removed "wipe all" option from wipe menu ( if you need to wipe system, use "format system" from "mounts/storage")
Rearanged menu order in root menu to restore CWM order
There's now an "nvram backup/restore" menu in "carliv" section
The nvram partition will be backed up in clockworkmod/backup folder as nvram.img. This will help if you lose IMEI and other communication features. It will work only if you have the nvram partition of size 0x500000 (check your scatter) and if you have the nvram defined as /dev/nvram path in recovery.fstab. If the nvram partition is damaged (as in flashing an oversized recovery) this will not help you, and you need SPFlashTools to reflash with format your phone official firmware, and after that flash this recovery, boot in recovery and restore nvram.
some other small changes.

Hi

You can root with framaroot, but i dont think thats necessary.

Just flash The recovery, then The ROM.

Hi

You guys are all crazy with the MTK leaked sources, but do you even have an clue what those sources are?

You cant just compile an source that's customize for other phone , thinking it will work on yours.
There's a lot of work to be done, and you need an huge amount of luck to have your phone drivers available in that source.

This said, I will appreciate that people avoid off-topic and other phones talk in this thread.

This ROM and recovery will only work on wiko darkmoon and Micromax a200 (clone).

If your using this ROM as a base for another MT6582 phone, please be an gentlemen and give proper credits.

Regards

Great work, thanks.
Do you know by any chance if there is any option to add languages to this rom? Wiko doesn't include many languages. I can use locale2 from google play, but that only translates some of the functions.

Hi

Yes i know, when i made a MIUI rom for my old ZTE v970, i had an hard time trying to find the proper strings for your language.
Even on stock roms from big brands, its very rare to find support for that language.

Im trying to merge and revise some strings from various sources, maybe in an future version.

Great, that would be awsome.

As for rarity of my language, I find it quite well supported. Google Nexus has it, all Samsungs have it, so does HTC, Sony... I know Prestigio and Gsmart have it. CM also. It's not a big deal, but nevertheless - I wouldn't mind having it

Great ROM btw, very customizable.

Hi

Well good news and bad news

The good:

I managed to Build an UNOFFICIAL Lewa Rom for our device, currently fixing the lastest issues and adding multi-language support.
So since im currently working on this language strings, might as well use that work for this rom also.

Preview pics:

The bad:
From what i gather until now, only about 100 slovenian strings are compatible (this is less than 5% of overall translation files), will keep looking
