Updated 03/14/2012 FrankenTAB v1.1.0
FrankenTAB aims to pick up where the gtab-devs left off with the Froyo based VEGAn-TAB 1.00 b5.1.1 (our v001a is a direct port of b5.1.1 to BL 1.2 with a clemsyn kernel). The current build is a heavily modified Brilliant Corners 1.3.1 base (advanced version of VEGAn-TAB 1.00 b5.1.1), with an overclockable (1.6ghz) & undervoltable kernel from the Clemsyn universal Froyo Skype Fix.
1) This MOD is based on Roebeets' Brilliant Corners ROM for the GTablet. See the description for Brilliant Corners for more info.
2) I am using the latest kernel and WIFI drivers (Skype/SOD/PPP fixes) from Clemsyn, all thanks for the speed of this ROM should go to him.... not me. This ROM is overclockable (to 1.6Ghz) and undervoltable via SetCPU (Get it from XDA if you are a member, or from the market if you want to support the developer)
3) Jcp171, Cobey, and Sharpe351 have been a huge help to me with FrankenTAB. Much thanks goes out to them for their continued help and support.
4) I got the blessing from GoJimi to include the newest version of VTL Launcher in our rom (v1.7.5 - This is NOT on the market yet). I would suggest that you drop in over at http://vegantab.gojimi.com/ to see what's going on with the OFFICIAL VEGAn-TAB ROM, which is based on GINGERBREAD, and show your support for further development of VTL Launcher by purchasing the release version from the Android Market or via a donation on the VT-Labs / VEGAn-TAB website.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Before attempting to install this ROM, please understand how to use NVFlash (Roebeets thread) to restore your system should something go wrong.
You will ABSOLUTELY need to do a data wipe / factory reset with CWM BEFORE install. I also recommend formatting your sdcard and wiping the dalvik cache before install. my current procedure is:
1) NVFlash to version a 1.2 bootloader base image including CWM
2) Perform my wipes in CWM (data / cache / Dalvik / Format SD)
3) Mount the Tablet via USB from inside CWM / Copy all the needed files to the tablet
4) Install the Rom in CWM
5) Reboot
In more extreme cases a tougher wipe may be necessary:
0) MAKE BACKUPS OF WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP
1) boot into CWM and format your sd card to 4096/0 then back to 2048/0 (this has cleared some of the problems for some people)
2) format dalvik cache
2a) -skip this step the first time you try, but it may end up being necessary- NVFlash back to a stock 1.2 setup that includes NVFlash (if you are on windows, I posted my NVFlash folder link (HERE) that has a few batch files for stock or CWM recovery)
3) wipe data / factory reset (in CWM)
4) -my method- format /system & /data (by doing this, it basically makes blank, formatted partitions)
4a) wipe dalvik cache again! especially if you let your system fully boot after the NVFlash - CLEAR THAT CRAP OUTTA THERE!!!
5) mount usb and copy over the zip file to the root of your internal sd card (which should be empty after part 1 - if not repeat step 1)
6) install zip from sd card
7) Reboot.
MAJOR RELEASE NOTE: The version 1.1.0 release is a full installation package with a completely new base. As such, please make a backup of your data just in case a full wipe becomes necessary during your upgrade process. I highly recommend a fresh start, but since we are upgrading the kernel, a wipe of the dalvik cache is mandatory at the very least.
APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY: KNOWN ISSUES as of release v1.1.0
(Thanks to Jcp171, Cobey, and EVERYONE for helping work through the app testing):
General Apps:
1. Market: Working properly with the standard market fix... slightly limited before the fix.
2. Skype: working. I have been using it for a while now and it seems to work like a champ.
E-mail:
1. Default E-mail: Works great, but being a non-Gingerbread ROM, Secure Corporate E-Mail setups may not work (Mine does not because of lack of appropriate security suppprt)
File Managers:
1. ES File Manager: Ran fine, was able to give file manager root. UPDATE: You can just long-press the STAR icon to get to the root directory. (THANKS bdds13!)
2. iFileManager: Works fine, but is just a basic file manager. For root access use ES file explorer or root explorer.
Utilities:
1. Anreboot: Fine for reboots, but DO NOT USE THIS TO REBOOT INTO RECOVERY. It will likely only ever reboot into recovery forcing you to NVFlash the device to get it working again.
Games:
1. Plants Vs Zombies: (Doesn't work)Loaded and got all the way into the first level but quickly crashed. Will crash at some point either loading or trying to play. At the most it's extremely unstable...
2. Gem Spinner II: Not functional
3. Game compatibility with several games improved (Cut the rope now works) by removing the undervolt and returning voltages to default levels (still at 1.6ghz). May vary tab to tab... (Note: Even lowering the speed to 1ghz did not change Plants vs Zombies or Gem Spinners non-functional statuses...)
Any other apps we tested worked. Please let us know if you find an app with a problem and we can make sure to confirm the issue to help Pix out.

"I have included 1.6 ghz, Skype fix, PPP. With PPP, I had to upgrade the wifi drivers to get it to build so not sure SOD fix will hold but please test for me thanks." - Clemsyn
Clemsyn has asked us to test his latest kernel build for froyo with SOD protection, Skype fix, and PPP support. Grab the download and let the testing begin. If it goes well I will incorporate it into the v1.1.0 release of FrankenTAB. UPDATE 02/08/2012 - This will be the new default kernel in the v1.1.0 release - all tests confirm this to be an excellent release from clemsyn.
Grab FrankenTABv001a from HERE
- v001a is based on VeganTAB 5.1.1 just ported to the 1.2 BL with clemsyns kernel and a market update. (Still seems to be fairly popular - I will continue to support v001a as best I can for those looking for the classic VEGAN experience on the 1.2 boot loader.)
SCREENSHOTS:
Work is coming along good on v1.0.2. I hope to have a release ready this weekend. This release will be very minor tweaks to some icons and graphics that were not receiving a lot of love from the community, along with some tweaks to the build prop.
In the next phase of testing I will be looking at kernel options including support for ppp in the default kernel, along with the possibility of an optional kernel or kernels. (will be v1.1.0)
Anyone that wants to test v1.0.2 I have uploaded a testers update HERE please be detailed in reporting any problems or new successes that are found.
Cool does camera or google talk work with camera?
Is this the full ? : FrankenTABv100.zip or is it this one FrankenTABv100RC1-full-install.zip
Thanks cant wait to try it
P.s Oh NVM i see its 2.2 none of the new Google apps will work thanks
Version 100 is the latest full file. version 100rc1 is the older release candidate.
no PPP support
Same like other ROM with clemsyn kernel
I try to use pppd (pppd /dev/rfcomm0 call xxx) but got message below
pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
Any chance to compile kernel with PPP support ??
I can ask clem to compile me a custom kernel, but it may take a lil while. I had planned to ask for something custom from him anyway so I will toss that in too. I will post an update in the second post when I hear from him, so keep an eye out.
I have been running this since 1.0.0 and love it. This is the ROM I have settled on. After trying Gingerbread and HC, I came back to Froyo for estability and speed. Love the icons on the status bar (Home, back, menu). All acceleration works including HD video. Like I said, very smooth and stable. All the games also work with it.
Netflix, Flash, Skype work.
Just loaded up over flashback, no problems here. Running so great!!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Excellent ROM
Love it!
I love it!
Are you considering changing the icons to ICS themed icons?
I may look into it for a future release, but right now I have to post the update (v1.0.2 is live) and try to confirm that, with the new kernel that clemsyn compiled for us, SOD issues are solved and SKYPE IS WORKING PROPERLY!!
watch the OP in the next few mins for the updates and details!!

why the hell i can't boot any rom , after installing flashback 10.3 ?!
You should NVFlash back to stock, and then try to install. Thats the best help I can give with the information you have provided.
Good luck. If that doesnt do the trick, let us know and we can try to work through it.

It works on cyanogen ROM which is based on gingerbread
But none of froyo based ROM works and always reported such error message
I attach chat binary for froyo which i compile in case somebody
want to try this

So far the ROM is great. I came from brilliant corners. My only issue is sometimes with flash, it's all blocky and distorted like a messed up NES cartridge.sound is fine.i fix it by full screening the flash video or changing the resolution, then back. Also, is there a DSP manager, or sound booster working in this ROM (for speakers, not headphones?) Thanks
Wifi can sleep when screen turns off?
Using 1.02 update, I notice also wifi never goes to sleep eventhough
I have setup wifi sleep when screen turn of in wifi sleep policy
Anybody experience the same?

- Based on Meizu forum qwerrazxs bottom package patchrom made available
- Supported phone models for the M030, M031, M032
- Recommended end package for the flyme 2.1.3
- Basically reached the level of everyday use, recommended updates
- Outgoing recent task approach: setting - button, and then according to their own preferences
note! Brush the first time, please make a backup
1 double clear brush back official flyme 2.1.3
2, upgrade the baseband MX baseband (V02.1201.01-248)
3, Flyme firmware must be root (Settings - login account - More - Open System permissions)
4, download MIUI ROM, on the sd card root directory
5, download MX Brush Kit miui recovery (mx2 mx generic). Install Open and grant it root privileges.
6, point reboot bootloader mode
7, the first double clear, and then put the brush directly rom, Meizu's brush with the same way.

thanks for sharing.
its weird to find no reply in this thread.
Hey all, FYI the latest version of MIUI fo Meizu MX (M030, M031, M032) may be found here:
[Meizu MX] [合作开发组] MIUI V5 for Meizu MX_3.11.8 by helinchun (4.1.x JB)
I had success installing it from a prerooted Flyme 2.1.x ROM (3.0.39-oversea kernel). The package only modifies the /system and /data partitions, leaving the bootloader, kernel & recovery still intact. It means the device is still perfectly capable of reflashing an official update.zip, although I don't believe Meizu will ever release a newer one beyond the 2.4.1 "test firmware".
- MIUI has a built-in superuser management UI, you don't need to install your version of su+superuser/supersu
- Some applications are .CN specific. I recommend slipstreaming Google Play (vending) and a standard keyboard such as TouchPal X / LatinIme in the zip package (you may want to look at other MIUI V5 ROMs in the forum for examples)
MIUI Installation for Meizu MX:
0- ALL IMPORTANT DATA BACKED UP AND SECURED IN A SAFE PLACE. your current rom is rooted (HK, or CN with Flyme open system privileges), with RW access to /system. Copy your MIUI zip package to /sdcard/
1- Install RecoveryInstaller.apk, open it and grant it elevated privileges when requested
2- click first button with some chinese text to install files to /system (no other partition is altered)
3- click second button with some chinese text to complete & restart phone. After reboot you should land in the MIUI recovery program for MX and MX2
4- It is not touch-enabled, use Vol+/Vol- to navigate, Back/Menu to Cancel/OK
5- Factory Reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Data
6- Install from ZIP on sdcard (not update.zip), let it operate for a while
7- After install, go up/back into "Power" menu and restart phone
8- Phone will remain on the MIUI logo for a long time on the first run (generating cache, I suppose). LEAVE IT ALONE, DO NOT INTERRUPT IT. It shall last 5 minutes or so.
9- ???
10- Profit!
Notes:
- You may continue to use the normal Meizu recovery mode (VolUp+Power) to flash a stock update or radio firmware.
- I cannot provide support for everyday use of the phone, as mine's been given away to another person.
- Apparently you don't need a Xiaomi account to use the ROM.
Unrelated remark:
- Android 4.4 (KK/KLP) has minimal specs of 512 MB RAM, thanks to improvements in Linux Kernel 3.8 - yet Samsung hasn't released a 4412 BSP with 3.8 AFAIK

Hey thanks! Seems to be updated weekly too!
Too bad the transfer speeds from China are horrendous (any chance for a mirror?). I'm on 1 gbps and still max out at a measly 30 kB/s. Oh well, i'll just wait for a few hours.
Hi man, thank you so much for your installation steps! Just installed it from flyme 2.1.3 .. I think the post says to install from 2.4.1, but I'm not sure.. Anyway, seems to be working ok. Do you think it will be an issue in the future?

METHOD TO INSTALL ADOBE FLASH 11.1.115.81 FOR ANDROID ON KITKAT
TESTED WITH ROOTED & UNLOCKED SPRINT HTC ONE M8 RUNNING 4.4.X
As most of us know, Google officially dropped support for the Android version of Adobe Flash with Jellybean and later. Jellybean (4.1.X - 4.3.X), however, still had whatever API/framework that Flash required to run, so users could install the ICS (4.0.X) version of Flash without any issues. But now with KitKat, those critical APIs/framework have been removed or changed, making Flash act super glitchy, crash, or simply not work.
There was a potential fix created back in 2013, but the download to the special Flash installer was hosted on Google Drive, and ended up being removed by Google.
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY "HACKED", "MODIFIED", OR "PATCHED" FLASH INSTALLS.
Prerequisites:
1. An Android device running KitKat
2. An internet connection
3. The Android version of Firefox (preferably 29 or newer)
DISCLAIMER: This method has been tested on a ROOTED & UNLOCKED Sprint HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.X KitKat with HTC Software Version 1.54.654.15+.
Step 1: Ensure that any and all existing Flash components are uninstalled. You can do this by installing any version of Flash for ICS and then performing a complete uninstall on it with a tool like Titanium Backup.
Step 2: Download & install the latest version of Firefox for Android (see technical information). If you already have it, then you rock.
Step 3: Download the two Flash installation packages. Don't run them yet. It is critical that both of these be installed in a SPECIFIC ORDER. For now, just download both packages.
-> Direct Download from Adobe: PRE ICS APIS AND RUNTIME & ICS RUNTIME
-> (mirror) ZIP Archive Containing Both Files: Download from Dropbox or Download from MediaFire
Step 4: If you've downloaded the ZIP archive, extract the files to some location on your computer. Move the installers to your Android device.
Step 5: Run the installer for the install_flash_player_pre_ics.apk FIRST.
Step 6: Run the installer for the install_flash_player_ics.apk SECOND. The APK installer should prompt you to update the existing Flash player installed. If it does not declare the installation as an update, then your device did not completely register the pre-ICS installer. If this occurs, then you will most likely be unable to successfully complete the installation.
Step 7: Launch Firefox. If you're a first-time user, I suggest you get customize Firefox to your liking first, since its the only browser you can use if you're a mobile Flash enthusiast. (Yes, I know there's a possible Flash fix with the Dolphin browser, but Dolphin lacks a lot of the functionality and performance that Firefox has. Plus, I'm a big-time Firefox fan.)
Step 8: Once you're familiar with Firefox, go to the Display settings submenu (3-Dot Menu Dropdown -> Settings -> Display).
Step 9: Scroll down to the list where "Plugins" is located (under "Advanced"). Ensure that it's is set to enabled. If it's grayed out, just load a webpage and return to the display settings page.
Now you're done!
To use Flash, go to any webpage with Flash content and it will load automatically. Continue reading below for more information like why this install method works and how Flash will perform.
About the two Flash installers:
The pre-ICS installer is for Android 2.x and 3.x. As far as I know, neither of those versions of Android had the built-in APIs/framework that Flash uses when running on ICS and Jellybean - which means that the pre-ICS installer must include those APIs or an equivalent substitute. If you were to install just the pre-ICS version on your KitKat device, you could technically use Flash, but it would be highly unstable and buggy (as I have observed). Loading Flash content would result in the swf flickering black for a few seconds before Firefox crashes. It seems that the ICS installer simply adds compatibility/stability for Android 4.x.x, rather than completely replacing its pre-ICS runtime. On the other hand, if you were to just install the ICS version, Flash simply wont run. Firefox will load the content region, but it will remain white or black.
Browser tests:
I have tested this method on several web browsers:
-> Stock HTC Browser [✘]-- registers that Flash is installed (it gives an option to enable/disable it), but doesn't actually load Flash content.
-> HTC Internet [✘] (the new version that's available from the play store) -- does not acknowledge the Flash install, but will display swfs as "missing required plugin"
-> Chrome [✘] -- does not even acknowledge that Flash is installed and gives no option to enable/disable it (shows how Google doesn't want Android users running Flash)
-> Firefox [✔] -- runs Flash smoothly (more info on Firefox Flash performance specs below)
-> Dolphin [✘] -- says "Flash Player is incompatible" and gives a download link to a hacked Flash installer that *only* works with Dolphin.
I've also have tested this method on several types of content:
-> Games -- Flash games run fine, but are subject to stuttering and lag depending on how intense the graphics are. Smartphone processors are pitiful compared to desktop CPUs, and Flash for Android has no Stage3D support.
-> Video players -- Flash video players cache and play their content perfectly (tested with desktop YouTube, desktop Dailymotion, and JWplayer, among others)
-> Other things -- everything I've tested ran fine; the only swf that didn't work was extremely large and probably exceeded Flash's/Firefox's RAM allocation or made use of 11.2+ Flash APIs.
When using Firefox, the following things perform well:
-> Quality -- equivalent to Flash for your PC. As far as I can tell, Flash completely abstracts itself from the platform it runs on (PC, mac, Android, etc).
-> Speed -- the HTC One M8 has a high performing CPU and GPU, so it can handle most swfs rather well. Ultimately, though, this depends on the amount of objects being rendered per frame and how detailed they are. MSAA on bitmaps (Right-click swf -> set Quality = high) and tessellation of complex vector shapes are big FPS killers.
However, there are some issues:
-> Interactivity -- still has the double-press glitch. This is a glitch where when you tap on the swf, it registers two clicks - one for when your finger hits the screen, and one for when it leaves. This glitch came up with Jellybean, and I first noticed it on my HTC Evo 4G LTE (running Android 4.1.1). Pressing and holding for a second or two and then lifting your finger seems to sometimes work as a single click.
-> Random freezes -- every now and then, the swf will seem to visually "freeze", even though everything is still running in the background. Simply scrolling up/down fixes this issue and forces Firefox to re-present the swf. These presenting desyncs seem most common when the entire screen updates, which may indicate they are tied to the performance of your phone's CPU/GPU.
-> Invisible freezes -- sometimes if you open a new tab to a webpage that has a swf in it, the swf will start to run in the background and Firefox. Setting plugins to "Tap to Play" fixes this.
Enjoy Flash!
Sir, if I ever meet you, I'll buy you a beer. Goddamn heavy thanks
Hmmm, that's weird, ive installed firefox on gpe and my dads sense 4.4.4 and 4.4.3, installed flash player from the archive, and they both run fine witout the ics pre update, I do get the white base for a second but works fine. I will however install the pre update files and do it again anyway.
OMG - flash works
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
For two years Firefox on my Transformer Prime has crash every single time I attempted to play a flash video of any sort. I downloaded the two installers. Ran them as you described AND flash now plays with no problems in Firefox. Yay!

Works for my unrooted stock HTC M8! :good:
But when I long press, Firefox selects text instead of acting as a single press. Any way around that?

Yeah, long pressing a flash content area will make Firefox attempt to select it as text, though there doesn't seem to be any way around that right now within Firefox. There are a couple apps out there that allow you to emulate desktop mice clicks, so maybe you could use on of the those.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for this nice tutorial. I'm currently installing Flash on my HTC One M7 running Android 4.4.3 (ARHD 84.0).

Here are some more aspects that users should know before trying out the custom ROM :
- Users need to have proper back-up for their personal data on the phone.
- The handset should have at least 80 percent of battery power.
- The users also need to ensure that USB Debugging is enabled on the phone.
- During the installation, if the device gets stuck on booting, users can perform wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik before rebooting the phone.
Tutorial :
1. Download Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM from link below :
The ROM File size is 128 MB, so I split the file into 3 parts :
ROM Part 1 : http://goo.gl/7pyL97
ROM Part 2 : http://goo.gl/ffHU2x
ROM Part 3 : http://goo.gl/l1zKh5
To combine 3 parts files above into 1 file just use WINRAR, then extract the files into ZIP format.
If any problem with the ROM, maybe because the ROM have corrupted during the download process, you can try to re-download the ROM.
2. Install the ROM Manager on your Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10.1. Get it from Google Play Store, then install the clockwork mod recovery. You also can use ROM Installer application from JRummy Apps Inc.(Get it from Google Play Store).
3. Connect your Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10.1 to your PC employing the USB information cable. Copy the “ROM.zip” file you downloaded to the SD memory card.
4. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup/restore to back-up your information.
5. From the Recovery Menu do a total data erase (including Delvik Cache). When completed, go back to Recovery Principal Menu and choose Flash ROM from SD Card. Navigate the location you copied the ”ROM.zip” file and follow the directions for installing Android 5.0 Lollipop on your Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10.1. As soon as the installation is over, just reboot your Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10.1 device, and here you go, you’ve just upgraded it to the new Android 5.0 Lollipop.
