[ROM] Minimalist 3.1 - Stock, Stable and Completely Deodexed

Another ROM you say? I've tried all the Acer-based 3.1 custom ROMs and none of them seem to suit my needs. They seem to add lots more bloatware and tweaks that made my tablet quite unstable.
So I went ahead and built my own ROM which essentially is a pruned-stock standard Acer 3.1 with only the barest minimal features to maintain speed and stability of the system. I've also gone ahead and deodexed most all of the frameworks and apps so feel free to mod this rom to add custom skins and animations if you so please. I'm sharing my work in the hope that you will find it useful.
The ROM can be downloaded here - http://www.multiupload.com/9H43RO49H0
Please leave questions, comments and queries below.
*Patch update* - I made a slight error in the update script and didn't set the right permissions for Superuser access. Apply this patch to fix it if your ROM doesn't have a working Superuser.apk - http://www.multiupload.com/RUO6SVRXEV

Stable ROMs are always welcomed. Never too many of those!

I like them too, i will give it a shot!

Anyone tried it yet? Thoughts? I have it ready to go, but would like to hear what others think before jumping in.

Updated the ROM to fix the root access.

Muy buenas ,
Yo llevo esta ROM ahora mismo ya que a mi no me gustan las ROMS con programas de inicio me gusta poder instalar yo lo que quiera y de momento va perfecta muy buen rendimiento , buen consumo de la bateria , ningun reinicio ni cogelacion del iconia expontaneo ...
Saludos !

Thanks for this ROM. I had been deleting apps I did not want but could not get past the Vendor subdirectory. This is now my daily ROM.

Does this still have the annoying, battery wasting "screen on in standby" problem?

Just installed it and work well for me. Thanks!

I'm going to try this now, I'm unimpressed with the acer 3.1 update, lots of FC, dhcp issue on wifi, overloaded ram (seems to have worse mm than 3.0.1).
argh!
looking forward to yours!

Thanks for the rom .slight problem can t seem to gain root acsess i installed the su patxch even though i have a working superuser .apk/ using v1.2 gingerbreak can t root help!!!

Sorry if Superuser isn't working for you. I didn't test the update script for the patch so that might be why. I have however updated the main ROM image in Post 1 to have support for SU.

Is there anyway to pre-build root access and USB 3G support in your ROM?

root access is already there

Yes, I can make a patch that you can apply to your stock ROM to get USB 3G support.
ETA ~ 4-5 hours.

tried this morning..migrate from honeyvillian....honestly I'm very happy with rom..fast and stable...didn't encounter any problem...yet....will stay for a while...thanks chef

Anyone got the cifs.ko working? with this rom? i used the same cifs.ko i used with the leaked kernel so it should be ok

Hello folks. I am new owner of the Acer A500 and naturally, a total noob in these matters, but could the OP please post installation instructions and perhaps even a list of what has been taken out from the stock Acer firmware??
Hope I am not asking for too much here.

This is weird, I was using p2-2 rom and had it oc'ed at 1540. I have been switching back and fourth between roms to see which is more smooth and stable, Mininmalist 3.1 was the last I tried that I am on now, And this rom is running fast and very stable, I think I'll stay with minimalist.

Un peu de plus de précisions sur ton OS, éventuelle ROM, etc ?
Ooops, I wrote in French but I don't know if you're a french guy or not :/....
More precisions about your phone: ROM, os, stuff like this?

CorvusROM v.0.0.1 (ALPHA) for D5, K8 mini, etc (Android 5.1)

This is my first ROM for a MTK device, so you will need to have some patience.
No files by now, because it's a pre-alpha. Once the rom is somewhat useable I will upload the needed files.
By now you can see:

Please, don't ask me for files. I will work on this image only in my sparse time, so the development could be slow.
WORKING:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Lights (screen brightness)
NOT WORKING:
Audio
Default android launcher (no watchface)
Sensors
No Gapps
NOT TESTED:
Modem

For my use

And this too

Cojo sitio!

Very nice

Amazing!

Nice! I think with us devs playing to our strengths we should be able to put some polish on the W812a. A working 5.1 base also opens up a few doors app wise.

Excellent idea, and thank you for this work. It is a pleasure to see these active community for this device.
Sorry for my translation by goolge

Very pleased to see this @corvus
Great effort mate - thanks very much !
This will open be a big step forward in the way of development.
Let us know if there's anything we can do.
I have a K8 Mini, a D5 and a K8 regular round - so does @Lokifish Marz and @cyrux75.
Cheers

There are some big problems with this rom. I try to port the launcher of the K8 mini but like Lokifish said in another thread there is not a unique apk and some resources are spread in several apks in the stock image. Audio is not working, and I do everything that I can to get it working, but by now no luck, and the bigger problem is sensors, they have some kernel modules (not a problem, because we use the same kernel) that are loaded with a bunch of binary files, and those binary files only run in KitKat, and don't work in Lollipop (and they will never work without recompile them to work in L), so no sensors in this image and seems that we will never get them until some chinese manufacturer release a L image in a device with this sensors.
I try to port the Omate Truesmart+ image that it's Lollipop and same mtk chipset, but without luck (and seems that they have another sensors, so I don't spend so much time on this).
So, if some one with more experience that me in mtk devices wants to take a look or ask something, I'm open to share my work with anyone.

What about a simple ROM with Nova Launcher and GAPPS?

Without audio or sensors? and with a draining battery... I'm not sure that this will be useful for anyone. I could share the zip, but I don't want users without the needed knowledge using it, breaking their devices and coming back to ask me why it's not working.
Anyway I continue searching for another rom from where make a porting with the same sensors.

Vamos, que la rom es bastante inutil por ahora y no quiero romper nada a nadie. Pero sigo investigando...

The W3 is completely different architecture. It uses an Ingenic M200 MIPS.

I stumbled across this one:
http://www.mtkroms.com/2016/02/bugless-resurrection-remix-for-mt6572.html
I'm actually not a developer, but maybe it is of some use for your work. At least it is our chipset and kernel.

Yes, one of this roms is what I use as base, but sensors are hardware dependant and watch has not the same hardware than a phone

Marshmallow on S5 - Screen Mirroring not working

Hi guys
Sorry if this is answered somewhere but I can't find a resolution.
I have G900FXXS1CPC8_G900FSLK1CPB2_SLK with Philz Touch and screen mirroring always fails. Is this a known problem? Tried the usual cache stuff, without success. Casting is fine but not screen mirroring.
Thanks

By the way, everything works great. Had some problems with TB. If you restore app and data backups I always got a FC. Otherwise it's smooth with good battery life

I meant to say everything works well apart from screen mirroring

Remedy
Settings -- developer's option-- authorise wireless display devices.

Hi
I have the same problem.
On Lolipop screen mirroring was 100% Ok with my Samsung TV
On MM 6.0.1 (stock XEF + Root + TWRP) screen mirroring is no OK.
The Tv attempt to connect S5 (or S5 attempt to connect Tv), Tv look S5 but sceen mirroring not work and Tv is deconnected.
No change with : Settings -- developer's option-- authorise wireless display devices.
Have you 1 idea ?
Thanks

I too have this problem with screenbeam mini 2 and have tried the Settings -- developer's option-- authorize wireless display devices. with no luck. Has anyone come up with a solution????

Anyone else running into this???? I have gone through several sceneries with no success. Just to clarify this is for wireless mirroring only, mirroring via mlh adapter works fine. Another strange note is that screen mirroring on my secondary ROM works flawless. I am dual booted now in order to use my screen beam mini 2 with my car. This is the only resolution I have found. I am running Resurrection Remix nightly as my secondary ROM and cast works perfect

Seriously No One Else????

Screen mirroring stopped working for me after upgrading my S5 to marshmallow.
I got it working again though using this fix from the xda S6 forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65793161&postcount=9
Using any root explorer go to system/build.prop
-add this line at last
wlan.wfd.hdcp = disable (remove any spaces after that)
- save and reboot.

This does not work either for me. I've tried every "FIX" on the web, still cannot mirror.

I have been having this same problem as everyone and I JUST GOT MINE TO WORK!!!!
I have been trying many things. Currently the screen mirror patch is UNINSTALLED and I did clear my cache. The following is what seemed to help...
I did the "developer option"-> "authorize wireless display devices" option
Next I tried to screen mirror with my Screenbeam mini2 and noticed some new options were available below the displayed name of my mini2.
I played around with the settings but with everything back to its default settings and "Operating channel" changed from "Auto" to 36, I made "Magic happen".
After that first connection the "Operating channel" returned to "Auto" and it will auto connect all day long.
It's a lousy fix and I blame Marshmallow for this.
Hope this helps.

habilitar screen mirroring para cualquier tv
a mi me funciono en un celular s5 con android 6.0.1
desconosco si funciona en otros celulares:
1. instalar root explorer
el cel debera estar rooteado,
el programa le pedira permiso root
2. ejecutar root explorer
- ir a system
- habilitar lectura/escritura
- abrir build.prop con editor de texto
- al final del texto agregar
wlan.wfd.hdcp=desactivar
guardar y salir
3. en el cel habilitar opciones de desarrollador
4. en el menu de desarrollador habilitar
pantallas inalambricas
5. reiniciar el cel
6. listo ahora puede concectar el espejo a
cualquier tv.

I've tried a version in past, one posted on some Telegram group ( i don't remember which group nor what version it was). It was working fine, but i think there were some issues, i don't really remember. As for quality, i think it was slightly better, but i'm not sure. When i've tested it, i've been on LineageOS or AEX.

I've tried lots of GCam version about month ago on LineageOS 14. Everyone was working, after enabling Camera 2 api, quality of pictures was way better, HDR was excelent, except that the camera app having hudge color temperature flickering. The pictures had different color temperarure. Not just in GCam, but also in other camera aps that uses Camera 2 api, such as ported Moto cam and ported Emui cam. Integrated Lineage camera hasn't this color temperature problem. Then I moved to AEX, and stoped with camera testing, but still very interested in finding a better camera app.

Snap camera (lineage's / aex's camera) use api v1. I think I've seen in other device trees/configs disabling / changing that configs, but it resulted in problems if I remember properly.

You have to speak English here. If you're writing in other language, then you have to provide English translation too.
For anybody who is wondering what he said, Google translate says that he installed Google camera on stock ROM after unlocking the bootloader and modifying build.prop and camera works fine.

the camera works but now it causes a firmware problem to my cell phone. Unfortunately, I just reversed what I did. If someone wants to experience write.:RE

Thread cleaned.
English only on xda please!

Very nice cam
