Looking very cool, what launcher is that? How is the BT tether coming on? That would be an amazing thing to get working...

BTW how would I find out if my 2100/8 version is compatible? I don't want to flash and brick hehe

Im starting to love the TS more and more especially the colossal battery compared to wear devices...

 

[monx®]

@death_entry
the 3rd party launcher is called SmartLauncher by GinLemon. Im Nova Launcher fan but this SmartLauncher seems fit for small screen device. this rom only contains system partition which wont brick ur device if u already have twrp recovery compatible with ur TS. if it doesnt, simply restore ur backup made with twrp. optionally u may send me ur stock rom so i can take a alook on it. BT Tethering is in progress but today my spare time was wasted.

Ooo I will give smartlauncher a go, looks good can't believe I missed this one.. Ive tried everything else ha...

I actually already flashed with Loki's ROM so won't be able to provide stock... I'm assuming if I can get TWRP on there then it should be compatible? I might wait a bit though to see how the BT tethering comes along, that will be definitely worth the effort

 

[monx®]

but still, u need to customize the smartlauncher esle some component like clock&date widget out of alignment. and set icon to bigger size. good luck

■ monxDIFIED

 

[Lokifish Marz]

Go into settings and change the clock type to either Gingerbread or ICS, can't remember which. Not hard really. The icons are a different matter as its a proportional limit based on area.

 

[monx®]

yes. comic style will fit nicely or xperia theme. icon size set to at least 130%.

■ monxDIFIED

 

[monx®]

new version with native tethering support is coming very very soon. TS as client or server both supported.. [emoji111]

[Naddict]

Thread closed at op request for some sorting out issues. Should be back soon.

Edit: reopened for updates. Let's keep things respectful! Cheers!

ok guys, here is the real deal :good:
make sure your device is compatible with twrp before rom flashing attempt

I will be busy with my Z2 (android 4.4.2) next update bcos my friends over there already yelling at me.
hopefully we are always peaceful enjoying the smartest rom ever for our lovely TS

A couple of things you should note:

The ROM does not boot on my device (the original TS, 512/4). It should, since stock has no issues booting on older units with the newer updates.

You should probably look into that. You should probably also note which watches this is compatible with so that people don't soft-brick upon installing your ROM.

Looking forward to seeing how this one continues to develop.

Do not download. All three releases are infected with Android/Gedma.C​

Risk summary
Permissions that allow the application to manipulate SMS
Permissions that allow the application to perform payments
Permissions that allow the application to access private information
Other permissions that could be considered as dangerous in certain scenarios

The infected file was scanned with multiple AV programs including ESET, Kaspersky. All reported same results.

*Oddly this only seems to affect monx's ROM and Dees BT ROM, which Dees ROM used source from another device.

*This is not present in kuronosan's ROM, Unified ROM or any Umeox x201 firmware I tested from 20140120 to 20140513.103530, which is stated as the base for this ROM.

[monx®]

since too many device variants, i've create one mechanism to address this issue.

[monxDIFIED-TrueSmart-v01.04]

[+] MULTI-DEVICE COMPATIBILITY
(i) Kernel auto patch
(i) User stock boot.img must be copied 1st

for all the security craps, there is no total secure rom for TS.
LBE Security Master is the only solution atm.

Well, all members should be cautioned whenever they flash anything on a rooted phone to begin with, as you are piling exploit on top of exploit.

I am not going to debate the above, but I will also not allow this thread to spiral into arguments over this. (Let me pose this question, false positives due to permissions???) and...to be fair..here is a link to information on the above information http://www.virusradar.com/en/Android_Gedma.C/description

Let's work together to resolve whatever issues there are and make attempts to collaborate to solve those issues, allegations of this or that do not lend to professionalism, or material solutions.

That being said, moderators are standing by should there be a need,

Now, back to development.
