Rooting

Since UltimateROM doesn't itself include root, you should install it manually.

Installation

Before installation, make sure that your internal sdcard memory layout has enough space on /system partition. If you don't have enough space, you might want to repart your internal sdcard.

For installation, I recommend that you already have chrono kernel r5.2 (or up) and TWRP 3.1.1 installed. Other recoveries might work, but aren't tested.

• install ROM
• install root
• install chrono kernel (kernel is located in the same folder as ROM)

You've flashed CWM_ReParted_SY620_CA10_DA3100_SD100.zip
620 MB aren't enough, GAPPS aren't Installed on /Data but on /System. Try with 700 MB or higher.

In OP >> If you don't have enough space, you might want to repart your internal sdcard >> there is no 700MB system repartition file :/ only 620 and than f2fs (the twrp 3.3.1 is not f2fs ready, at least did not found the enable setting and in format is not that option, and also OP dont mention if it runs on f2fs )

pls link the 700MB repartition and the 14.1 cleaned gapps, into OP

I want to test your ROM but may I ask you a question:
Does it take a lot of RAM usage?

without apps, gapps, root 350-400mb

@up
this says nothing about real ram usage from the OS itself.
The Values u've posted also contains cached system apps and the launcher that can be killed without problems if an foreground app needs more RAM.
So in reality the real needed ram from the OS is much lower.

Androids memory management works in a different way than Linux itself.
The Design of Android uses "memory overcommitment"

That means apps allocates almost an huge amount of (virtual)ram even it's not really needed and most likely they don't use much of that allocated ram.
So let's take into account a few apps have already allocated the whole ram and u want to start an new app ...
Now u guys thinks: "Androids low-memory-killer will kill some non-important apps or an oldest cached app or so"
But nope, here come "memory overcommitment" in action and will allocate the new app simply over the already allocated ram from the other apps, that's of course was allocated but not currently used!

Only if there is no way to overcommit memory, then Androids LMK will start to kill apps in order to free up some ram.

As u can see, RAM in Android is used very efficiently and it doesn't need some annoying apps like task killer.
Also it's a really bad idea to force the launcher to stay in ram, because u'll just have lesser ram for your running app!

Yes you will have lesser ram, but if it has been terninated then it will take sone time to reload launcher... This WILL take more CPU usage and battery
If you want to hold your launcher into memory, then find a launcher that has low ram usage (such as 2.3.6 twlauncher )
And what about battery life here?

 

[ace2nutzer]

Yes that's true, but for me it only takes around 1 - 2 seconds to redraw the home screen using latest nova launcher
Well, the thing is that phone has low ram .. so it's really painfully idea to keep launcher in ram.
If u want it anyway, then u've to use zRam ... and this costs unfortunately even more battery.

Finally installed gapps with rom without no problem.
Opengapps works fine.
Let's see how it works later...

Ok but now is my break time... until this rom is so stable for daily use I will update. Otherwise I will stay in 6.0.1 because it is now really really stable for daily use
But now there is one more bug.....
