[Rom][15April]Ascend XT - CleanRom B160

[clsA]

CleanRom

Version 2 is now Up !

​

Here's what I did, I removed all the AT&T bloatware and most of the Google Apps
while adding Root / Busybox / Nova Launcher / A custom EMUI 5 theme / and a couple of useful apps

We Fixed the IMEI problem and everything is stable Thanks @madvane20 for your help

~Download For B160.v2~

~Download for B160.v1~
​

Flashing instructions.. You Must already be on the Correct firmware. (If you need to get to B160 Click here)
CleanRom will Wipe your internal Data partition ...Make sure you have a Backup !
You must Mount - System / Cust and Data before you start the install. After install wipe cache / dalvik and reboot.

As Always Make a backup before you flash in case anything goes wrong

Important: After you setup your phone boot to TWRP and make a Backup - I found a bug where Play Store and FireFox just Stop working (won't open)
If this happens you can restore your backup and everything works again.

Thanks @skuly
This seems to fix the play store error

So far this rom seems to have a lot better performance.

When I first installed the rom Play store wouldn't launch after my first reboot. So I installed play store from HERE and it didn't fix it but when I went to settings>Apps and disabled play store it asked to uninstall playstore and restore the default so I did that and then re-enabled play store and everything has been fine since then.

So far the phone hasn't been lagging like stock was but I think I might need to give it a few more days because stock was fine at first too but then was always eating ram.

Get themes here >> https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.c...00-08:00&max-results=20&start=8&by-date=false

Make a folder on the ext_sdcard named HWThemes and put the file's in it. they end in .hwt
Same folder is in the internal storage if you don't mind them taking space their

IMEI Changed

Just flashed this and my IMEI changed. I flashed the B150 Backup and my number returned. I saw in the other thread this was happening but the issue still is still in this build at least. The rom looked good for the 10 minutes I was using it!

I had the exact same issue. Unfortunately and quite unusual of me, I didn't make a b150 backup, but my imei returned when restoring your b150 pre root backup from your other guide. The rom was pretty smooth for the five minutes I used it though.

Also thanks for the b130 to b150 update guide! I followed all the directions and went from b130 to b150 without a problem!

Sorry for the inconvenience I'm Pretty sure it's fixed now if you would like to try it again ...I appreciate the Feedback

 

[divineBliss]

Thanks! I found that site before you responded and was hoping there was something better. I had tried putting the .hwt file in the local/external SDs in both HWThemes and the .cache folder, and the theme just would not show up in the Theme app. I got it to show up by putting it in /system/themes . Tried again today and now it's working fine just putting the .hwt file in external HWThemes folder . Which theme file is shown in OP?

Sometimes a reboot is needed for the theme's to show in the Theme app.
The theme used in the ROM is called OTA_black.
@divineBliss
any of the Themes for the H5x should work fine also

and the P9 themes too > https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/themes

If you flash this ROM on B130 your WiFi will be disabled.

The ROM is built on B150

I have a guide on updating to B150
Use it then this ROM works

@clsA,
Note: Please correct your first link - it's not the 5X thread.

Thanks! I'll have to check out the other two links. Didn't care for OTA black because it's doesn't display the text description of each category in the phone settings window, just a small icon. This black theme is what I finally settled on:

link fixed - check out VUi in the 5x forum
also the OTA black does have descriptions in the Settings screen just use nova to set the font to off white

 

[divineBliss]

Which font would that be? Seems like a theme that doesn't require me to do that additional step is the better implemented theme.

It's Nova that's overrides the Font
Not the Theme

Doesn't happen with other themes and AFAIK Nova Launcher does not affect fonts outside of itself, so I don't know where this comment comes from. Tell me the exact steps in Nova to change the font for OTA black then, as I don't see anything in Nova Settings . Been using Nova Launcher for years.

Man, there's multiple different places to set fonts in Nova Launcher, that why I said "Tell me the exact steps in Nova to change the font... " .

I'm not convinced Nova Launcher font color affects phone settings font color. Show me a screen shot after you change it to red. Besides, non of my Nova fonts are black anyway.

EDIT: WELL GOSH DARN .. I thought I figured it out, but no luck . Anyway, I'm good with the N theme I previously mentioned .
