They are more then welcome to chime in their version as well!

Is this going to be any different than flashing the normal way?

Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Hopefully this will be ready for download when I get home from work.

PS. DG, if you want some extra mirror space check the download speed for Axura in my sig. Shoot me a PM if you would like me to set you up a FTP account with a couple gig of storage.

Yes, it will have a prerequisite of anything with voodoo enabled. From there you just flash a zip and boot.
Its not a perfect 1zip install from anything, yet...

will do, edited post #2 after booting i got 3g lock almost right away! nice to see telus APN in the list

EXTREMELY EXCITED.
Have been waiting for this!
So all I need to do please correct me if Im wrong is flash any other ROM such as Perecption or Cognition ect. Or just install the latest Voodoo Lag Fix. Then just flash this also on top of that through Clockwork?
Thanks and PLEASE correct me if im wrong here.

Personally if i were you i would wait for a more stable release, theres has been vast improvements in the kernel up till now but its still not ready for day to day use for everyone, plus if your unsure how to install it then you probably shouldn't ! But if you must , the method i used was flashed back to stock, gsm reset (code=*2767*3855#) which wipes all your memory, then flash darkys rom v7 and enable voodoo after phone boots and reboot it, then flash the gb kernel through clockwork recovery.... also i had to reboot the phone after installing the kernel to get 3g working...good luck

Consumers of ROMS sometimes forget that devs have family too.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to you and your family. Wish the same to all the devs.
Cheers!!

Thanks DG! Happy Holidays to everyone. Cant wait for more stable version too.

woot woot. finally a method i could do!! this does leave me some questions though.
is it possible to just flash to stock 2.2 (instead of a custom rom), install voodoo5, and than install the zip through rom manager?
http://project-voodoo.org/download
the voodoo stable 5.0, is that for the captivate? just making sure, dont want to download something thats for the i9000.
and lastly! if anything goes wrong, flashing one click odin will solve everything correct? all the changes (aka the eff ups) i made should return to stock settings?
sooo excited!!
edit. to eleborate on my voodoo worries.
will reflashing with odin to stock, change my kernal back to the stock one or will it keep voodoo? just wondering because i was wondering if its required that i disable (or uninstall) voodoo before i use odin to restore or could i just use odin after testing the rom out without any disabling/enabling.
edit 2:
shoot forgot to ask, what are the usb files for? im gut tells me their the files needed for the comp to recognize the captivate after flashing. and second, does this require a root? and this is the LOL question, could i just rename the 2.3 file a "update.zip" and install it like that or do i have to do the whole clockwork thing. Six question. geez im dumb.
Merry Xmas!

[ROM] RusMod 1.19

RusMod 1.19.
Added:
CBW kernel and some build.prop changes.
This is mod for russian users(was so.. unitl now)
Now i wish to give it to you.
About it:
Well, i can copy page from Khal's rom and say - it all there.
If we get something here, that gets to RusMod.
It's fully stock(i hope so, cause we have so many changes... =))
How to install it:
If your rom based on Dexter rom than there is a chance that you will only need
wipe cache and dalvik-cache.
If not - you should wipe all data.
After restoring rom from nandroid apply patch, because russian version of settings.apk and phone.apk have some changes for russian users.
Well, that's all.. i think =)

BTW: i recommend to use software from Go Dev Team like Go Launcher Ex, Go SmS Pro and e.t.c. It really good and opensource =)

Much appreciated... will try out shortly
Btw, is there gingerbread theme for this ROM? If so, where can I get it? Thx

Nope, gingerbread theme not there.
After framework upgrade in RM 1.16 themes are in reworking.

Okay install success... gonna test out for a bit and see how it is. Btw you have lightXt pre-installed over this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coreaaosi.afroid&feature=search_result which has more features, better look and a widget... (and doesn't require root)
Also, I switched language to English but there's something in my notification bar as ongoing but I have no idea what it is. That's in russian and it has an American flag next to it in the status bar and clicking on it takes me to some settings that's also Russian... any idea what that is?

As long as the framework-res folder structure matches Moize7Ae's MM patch it should work. You could also try ZipThemer.

RM uses Mioze7Ae's MM patch so it should work =)
Afaik there is some program with name metamorth.. it's changes phone theme...

Metamorph works "live" on the phone & when it themes framework-res it will reboot the phone & with owq's morph I think you have to run through MM a second time to get the white clock color. ZipThemer takes the morph & builds an update.zip (& an undo.zip for when things go wrong). So you create the update.zip (I use HTC Edify Generic update script setting) make sure it is in the openrecovery/updates folder, boot into OC & apply the update.

Hello fjfalcon,
Can you please tell us what are the advantages of this rom over stock 2.1 or miui?
Will it increase free RAM, rom space, snappiness ? Any disadvantages over the stock roms? Is the haptic feedback as strong as the original stock rom?

Custom Rom Lenovo S6000

Hey guys,
can you say me if there will be custom roms for this tablet in the future?
would be very nice, cause i love flashing all my devices

I would like to know too. Lenovo has crippled this version of Android.

They absolutely have. I was able to "semi-root" with framaroot, so thankfully su is added BUT I still can't uninstall bloatware...although there isn't much it still bugs me. full root and ROM still needed.

Custom ROM for S6000 would be very nice. Searching for it every day.

KitKat
Hopefully someone will add a KitKat ROM when possible, don't see lenovo upgrading us to it when it becomes available. Don't think the tablet is popular enough unfortunately though.

Just use titanium back up to remove bloat.... Work great for me
Sent from my IdeaTab S6000-F using xda app-developers app

Yea, I wish there was a custom ROM too. I just got my S6000-H yesterday, rooted it right away and used TiBu to remove some of the bloatware (I froze some more that I wasn't sure of). But it's missing simple things I'm used to from my N7000, like the advanced options in the shutdown menu.
I read in another thread that we do have a type of recovery built in - could someone tell me where to find it?
Never mind, found it ... and finally installed CWM today too. Now all I need is a nice custom ROM, but it doesn't look like any devs have that tablet

Use xposed to add modules. .. reboot, multi Window, floating, etc...etc... my S6000 tab works great. .. Still not good as my note 3 but...almost! My wife is jealous of all my tab can do... She think it stock that way. .. And her weird little Ellipses 7 Verizon gave hercan't do half of it. ... Guess I'll have to pimp her tab up for her! ! Look up x posed installer on xda, or Google it, then just follow where it leads. ... Easy

Thanks for that tip ... I just installed xposed and 3 modules, going to have a look through that huge list these days to see if I find more.
I installed the one to show the temperature in the status bar, the advanced reboot one and the one that shows RAM used/free in the task switcher. Pretty neat so far - if you know of any other "must-have" modules feel free to let me know
And sorry criszz, but no idea if that'll work on your tablet too

Thanks for that update!
I won't hold my breath for anything official seeing as Lenovo didn't even bump up to 4.3,
and zero ROMS out there? Or am I rubbish at searching?

I read in an other Forum that there is no Custom ROM yet because Mediatek isn't releasing Source Code of their ROMs. After Browsing Lenovo Site of the S6000 I have found this:
mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/s6000_tablet?tabname=manuals
You get linked to Manuals, click on Downloads section and then there is:
Open Source Code - S6000 Tablet 10/12/2013 - 320MB
Don't know if it's the right thing, just wanted to mention it here.
And other News on KitKat:
news.softpedia.com/news/Android-4-4-KitKat-Update-for-Lenovo-Yoga-8-Inch-and-10-Inch-Tablets-Coming-in-June-438474.shtml
It's getting closer now, first 4.4 mediatek tablet ( lenovo yoga ) get's update in June. Let's hope for a compatible version / port for the S6000.
In am wondering if the Updates for the Yoga Tablets are compatible with the S6000, cause they use same processor and overall same specs.
Greetings JanDr0id
ps: i erased the httttttp in front of the links cause its my 1st post and xda isnt allowing me to post links yet.

I saw that mediatek released their source for kitkat. All the parts are there. Just need a Dev with one of these to assemble it.

[STOCK][C6603][4.4.4] Update to 10.5.1.A.0.283 [Root & XZDR]

So,this is my first try at making this kind of stuff,but i just managed to make this on my Xperia Z and all went well,so you guys might try if you want.
Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.18.2 by @Androxyde (lower versions may work to.)
XZDualRecovery by [NUT].
Current rooted FW version: 10.5.A.0.230.
Special features:
SuperSU by Cainfire, integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
XZDualRecovery
For locked bootloaders.
Unlocked may try also.
How to update to 10.5.1.A.0.283:
Download 4.4.4.flashable.zip (920MB) and C6603_10.5.1.A.0.283.ftf (17MB)
Put 4.4.4.flashable.zip on (the external) SDcard1;
Put C6603_10.5.1.A.0.283.ftf inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP/CWM.
Flash 4.4.4.flashable.zip in TWRP/CWM
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in C6603_10.5.1.A.0.283.ftf using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Enjoy!
Thank you!
I want to thank [NUT] for is help and Guide,and also Rajeev for is help to!
P.S.- This firmware is from Portugal,so expect apps that you wont need,so delete them
Try this at your own risk,i am not responsible if anything bad happens!

thanks

Nice bro

wow .283 update! amazing bro thanks! :good:

Like a dream
Thanks Mate! z 6603

So....
So guys,i see many people viewing this thread,but nobody said how is the upgrade doing,or even if someone installed it yet.
So any comments on the upgrade?

I flashed this on my phone just yesterday. No hassle whatsoever with the flashing nor daily use, although, as I said, I've only been using it for a day. Great work after all, this is a comfy way to update to .283 for us lazy asses

always good to see more developers from Portugal on XDA..

Was hesitant to install any custom roms, because of such variety and here is the stock! Thank you very much.
P.S. Is data wipe needed or just flash?

Just follow the steps and everything should be ok!

Just installed. Seems good, but there is too much bloatware, especially vodafone and google apps. Also, supersu version is old.

If you just read post #1 you would know that there were bloatware,i said it!
You are rooted,install titanium backup and uninstall the apps you want.
Supersu,easy,just update it!
See very easy,what more can i do for you?

I don't say that this ROM is bad in any way or I can't delete those apps(actually I like to delete them myself). But won't be it easier to remove those stuff? Some people don't know what to delete. Just saying.

I just point you in the right directions,i didnt said anything bad about your comment.
If people are flashing these roms and rooting and what not,they know what apps to delete,those are only apps,not anything weird.
BTW i already made everything very easy.
Wouldnt be easier if people choose what to delete?Like you?
P.S. Thanks for your comments and i am not a big developer,this is a STOCK rom,from portugal like i said.

[Q&A] [ROM][G900V][NI2]EXTREME SYNDICATE v2.1! READY NOW!

Q&A for [ROM][G900V][NI2]EXTREME SYNDICATE v2.1! READY NOW!
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:

Hi all. Is 2.1 using Android 4.4.4? Why isn't it using NE9? (Diff between that and NI2?) Are there any known bugs to this release? If so, could we expect a 2.5 release semi-soon? I'm scared to flash due to other people's troubles so far but have been eagerly waiting an update! This has been a near-perfect ROM for me who likes minimal and stripped down. Making it even more stripped down starts to make me worry though. Haven't any experience with mods other than viper4android. Is that HX camera mod better than the included camera in ExtremeSyndicate 1.5?
Sorry for newb post.

there isnt much dif in ni2.. just a newer version.. it is more debloated but you dont really need to mod anything.. just simply install/push what you want to the phone

I got the message from other post, so I need to flash a keyboard apk (Android L keyboard is fine) after I install the ROM?

That is correct. Find a Android keyboard apk and place it in internal storage or on sdcard. After you have flashed the ROM use the "My Files" app included in the ROM to install the keyboard apk. That is how I understand the process. I'm not sure, but trying to install the "L" keyboard might not be a simple as installing an apk. I think, but not sure, there are some supporting files that you need for the "L" keyboard to properly function. A simple, no frills keyboard may be a better option until you're up and running and then try installing the "L" keyboard or other keyboard from the play store.

yea I got it installed, yet as someone said earlier. I installed google calendar and it does not sync for some reason. Hopefully can find out why. Also any chance of the black theme coming back?

Good to hear. I'm not sure about the dark theme, we'll have to ask elliwigy. As far as Google Calendar not syncing, elliwigy removed more "stuff" for this build, he may have eliminated a file needed for sync.

Camera?
How would I get the factory camera work?

I refuse to flash without the black & white theme!!! So good!!! Can't live with Samsung theme. Thanks for all your hard work on this ROM though Elliwigy!! I'll stick with 1.5 until this is updated!

Gotta stick to your guns man! Ignore the special requests that fall out of your scope of support and if they don't like it, then oh well. Good to see you're still around :good:

+1 on what BigBot96 said. Your ROM is exactly what I had been wanting for years. A lean, fast, great battery ROM that provided all the basic functions of a smartphone without all the BS bells and whistles. No matter what you do, there will always be someone who wants something different than what YOU want. Let potential users of your ROM know up front what you offer and if that doesn't "float their boat" they can either not flash your ROM or they can add what they want. Let them know up front that you don't offer or support a "buffet line of options". They can like it or, well, leave it and go flash something else.

I miss this rom! For all my devices, with all the roms I tried, this was my favorite. If I could build a rom (which I can't), I would have built something almost identical to this one. You stated you stopped developing because you were busy, tired of trying to debloat more and tired of getting flamed. I accept your stopping as version 1 was to me perfection, and I agree, it would have been so hard to improve upon it.
I tried a couple of other roms. While good, they were not nearly as perfect as this one. I think I'll go back to version 1 to see if I can figure out what is missing from version 2. Then it's back to glory for me. Thanks for all your hard work. I've been busy traveling that I didn't take the time to tell you thanks man. Happy holidays. If you build another rom, can you post a notice here. All the best.

version 2.1 was updated to ni2 but before i could theme n work out some kinks i shut it down.. i was working on the opposite but ran into some issues with 5.0 apks not working.. I will be posting a new rom as soon as we get 5.0! i already have a working list of what to debloat (based on disecting the g900f build) so you will see me again! In the meantime, I have been learning to code since ultimately I want to create apks for various things

I never did understand why people expected stuff to be added back into a ROM when it's main purpose was to be "lighter" with each update makes no sense to me lol. Anyway, I'm running V1 and it's simply awesome! I just rooted and installed V1 on my wife's phone today (she actually ASKED me to root it lmao, I about fell over) but I would really like to have the flashlight toggle that appears to be included in V1.5. Is there an easy way to get the flashlight toggle? Is there a link somewhere for V1.5 (I haven't found one yet)? Can I dirty flash it over V1?

Nevermind, I found the older builds in your ROM thread. Thanks for all you do! I'd rather use an iPh0ne than a stock Veriz0n S5. Not really, but close lol.

I will be updating rom to L hopefully by end of tonight!
