Hi everyone
after browsing the bbs.anzhi forum I see that there is a lot of development going on four our phones. It is really a shame that we dont have these ROMs here on xda So I thought that if someone who understands chinese could post a short summary of the ROMs (kernel version...) and download links? I would do this myself but cant understand anything using google translate + I cant see download links on bbs.anzhi For example: geno´s CM7 is already updated to 20120116 while the version here on xda is still 20120107 + there are lots of others ROMs on bbs.anzhi like LiGux, different MIUIs/CM7s...
This one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453421
Was found on bbs.anzhi and for me this one is better thans the hauwei 2.3.5...
If you want to try some of them use Google Translate and translate the forum to ENGLISH (I'm Portuguese and if I translate it to Portuguese I can't understant a **** , but if I translate it to english it's readable)...
Go and try some of them and share your experience with us
But where to get download links? They are hidden even after i register
You have to thanks post to download as I remember...
Just watch out with these chinese things, geno's roms over there are not always as stable and have some weird chinese market...
There is also a modded version of Genos newest CM7 which has lots of fixes and mods added.. for .32 and for .35 it is called cm7rymod. I'll give it a try and report changelog. There is 4 versions available for download. 2 for .35 and 2 for .32.
And addition to that there is Google android version of CM7.
official changelog for CM7rymod from bbs.anzhi.com (Google translate):
According to the latest 35 G, 16-core version of CM7.2 production, made some changes to streamline and
1, to streamline procedures and Google most service packs, need to be signed to G, where to find the latest brush into the GMS package
2, GPS optimization, increase HOST over the wall, a simple optimization framework
3, change the vendor for the HTC, you can run the gameloft games (if forget some package changed, we can only take the trouble to change their own under)
4, the search button to change the lock screen
5,32-core version of the call volume default kernel version for the 120,35 default call volume to maximum 200
6,32-core version of the default off four kings vibration feedback, 32 cores in need can be set in x5settings, 35 did not close the kernel's default vibration feedback
7, the default background lights off four kings, need to delete the system \ etc \ init.d \ Z90closeButtonLight and restart 8, changed the English character, which does not appear the next message in the mouth of the
9, the battery icon replaced the battery icon in the official 2.3, some think look better

13, by adding data to optimize the next zipalign script, taking into account the installation program will affect the use of too much, so to manually execute the script, the path is \ system \ etc \ init.d \ 08zipalign.sh, after installing the software can manually execute the script complete optimization, system optimization will be prompted to record.
14,35 G, the kernel version than the original, there is no current call volume sound
Integrated in the system / app some of the procedures under
1, Baidu input
2, titanium backup
3, Ligux power management tools
4,365 + Calendar (formerly google calendar synchronization so streamlined required)
5, FMR memory clean up
6, the fast map (the original 3D Gallery streamlined)
7, x5settings
8, Re Manager v1.17.2
Ized Screenshots http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-4819923-1-1.html
Third, questions and answers
32-core version is almost perfect, putting a good, well envy. . . But do not wake up 32 core 35 core fast, light sensitivity is not 35 cores, 35 cores there putting problems, and the call volume is relatively small. So have their own strengths, we can choose their own.
Notes attached to 35 cores, 32 cores can take a look at section 3.
1, putting break the sound, press and hold the volume up and down keys will vibrate (so you understand how to avoid), are the original 35 core cm7 problems, being unable to repair, and other big update g
2, because there is no wifi, so I can not test
3, it was said that when the right side of the sliding contact list with black pieces, if you're concerned about, then you can remove the contact's display settings in the address book button at the dial-up options
4, some people ask why the rom more than 120 M, much of it, it is convenient for you, I integrated the rom special theme, the theme accounted for about 40M. Do not like you can streamline their own
5, G, 35 cores with performance similar to CM7, 3D performance, superior, Bunny ran points and CM7 is not much difference, not on the map
6, because the machine has been in the brush, so the power in the unknown, and CM7 should be similar.
Is possible to share soe links for download, print the. 32 version please because I can use the other.

[ROM][P7320/P7320T][JB 4.1.2] Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 [2013-12-22] "FINALLY"
THIS ROM IS FOR GT-P7320 AND GT-P7320T ONLY! JUST LIKE nrvate's CM10 ROM FOR THE i957, THIS ROM COULD EAT YOUR INCOMPATIBLE DEVICE AS IT DOES NOT DO A DEVICE CHECK.
This is a Jellybean 4.1 / CM10 ROM for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE aka the P7320 or the P7320T.
The hardware in this tablet is almost identical to the SAMSUNG i957, except for the data partition being hosted on mmcblk0p28 instead of mmcblk0p26. First I tried converting the other builds, e.g. nrvate's work on the P7320, which worked well. Alas, I have decided a fresh build would be interesting. This build will probably stay at CM10/JB4.1 for now as the p5att variant has disappeared from the msm8660 source for JB 4.2.
You will need a CWM recovery to flash this, e.g. this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122

Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Install the ROM ZIP and GAPPS ZIP at the same time if you like. Also the first boot may appear to be hung but it will take a short while - don't panic due to the lack of boot animation!
Latest changes:
Touchscreen sensitivity increased + source updates from P7300/P7310
Battery/charging code updates from offical samsung ICS source
Custom additions:
Use the Adreno GPU for 2D rendering - greatly improves performance in the stock browser and launcher, and especially in landscape mode due to our screens being rotated 90 degress in software
smartassV2 governor - you can enable this in Settings -> Performance
USB charging and notification
Enable saving of blocked attachments (e.g. zip files) from the email app (from CM10.1)
Touchscreen sensitivity increased
What is working:
Screen
Speakers / Audio
Wifi
3g/4g
Bluetooth
Camera (front, back, stills mode only)
Tethering
USB charging and notification
What is not working:
Automatic brightness
Camera for video (video - wrong aspect ratio, changing resolution cases crash in app)
Vibration (works but is weak and only sends the start and finish signals)
Boot animation doesn't display 90% of the time
Charging bug while turned off, you may need to unplug the cable to turn back on
Wifi Direct
HDMI out + probably anything that uses the dock port except for USB and charging
+ Lots more that I don't know about yet

I've tested merging the USB charging changes in and it seems like it will be possible, but I will need to make another build. Will look at doing that later in the week.
The good news is, however, while running the tablet off USB, even without the patch, it appears to do some sort of charging, as shown in the "Settings->Battery" screen. So it might be more that the notification of charging, and potentially the "force charging" (which might be required for some devices), is missing.
I've been busy trying to get CM10.1 (JB4.2) booting properly on this device. Currently get ADB starting up, no display working, so not sure about what else.
If anyone who has been working on android/cm ROM development would like to help out please let me know as it's very very new to me !
New version 20131214
Hi all,
New version up that shows USB charging status.
Also the previous change to use the adreno GPU in 2D mode didn't take any affect, I've fixed that and added some more GPU related tweaks.
You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B48JIYNc4wvsM1U2b0lCbmZ6S0E/edit?usp=sharing
I also have a new kernel for testing some touchscreen behaviour.
Here is the flashable zip:
cm-10-20131214-UNOFFICIAL-p7320.kernelupdate.zip (use File -> Download from Google drive)
It has some more "up to date" files from the Samsung ICS tree, but I'm not sure if they are having any effect.
If you want to quickly roll back to the original kernel for comparisons, here it is:
cm-10-20131214-UNOFFICIAL-p7320.kernel.zip (use File -> Download from Google drive)
I'll probably keep the updates in there but I'd like a second opinion to see if I've made any difference at all

I've merged this attachment unblocking feature in the next build.
Also... is anyone having trouble with charging? Sometimes my tab won't charge past about 60-70% overnight. A reboot or charging while turned completely off seems to fix it... if others are having problems with it I might look into it further.
New version, includes saving of blocked attachments (e.g. zip files) from the email app (from CM10.1). Also the init logo now displays, before the boot animation does. Still pot luck as to whether the boot animation will display.

I'm using a USB MIDI keyboard (through a mini USB connector) and trying to use my Galaxy S4 to drive the sound. The reason is that it's a small, portable, solid state computing device (stage vibrations already killed a couple hard drives in the last few months) that I already own. The drawback, of course, is latency. The delay between key press and sound generation makes this unworkable.
Here's a list of what I've done, I'd love to hear any advice for making this possible. I'm hoping to update this into a complete tutorial if it is successful:
1) The best app as far as sounds available (for the music I play, this may vary for you) AND allowing external keyboard control is Music Synthesizer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levien.synthesizer). It would be ideal if there was an app that allowed VST plugins for custom sounds or had its own internal latency controls, but none seem to exist on Android. Please, please notify me if I'm wrong. That would make this whole setup better.
2) Because stock Android is super bloated, I wiped and flashed TriFroceRom onto my device using TWRP. This was harder for me than I'd like to admit, so allow me to point future people to what worked for me:
First you'll need to get TWRP up and running. Here's the walk through that worked for me: http://wccftech.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9505/
This is the best tutorial I've found for installing TriForce: http://wccftech.com/flash-triforcerom-54-samsung-galaxy-s4-sphl720/. MAKE SURE you do not just reboot straight away. Follow that last step about going back to home, reboot menu, into system. And it may ask to fix your root permissions too. I skipped that part and had a dead phone for a while.
Also, if you're on this stage and wondering about the best way to back everything up before you do it, G Cloud (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genie9.gcloudbackup&hl=en) is your answer. It is free, works perfect on upload and download, and lets you look at what is on their server at any time (including browsing photos, not just file names). Text messages and contacts sync too. If you pay a little bit of money for the full version, it will even keep your application data. If you're super cool and want to put in my referral number, it's BG2III (gives me more storage, and those are uppercase letter i not number 1s).
3) I then added Ktweaker so that I could overclock and improve the system performance. I watched this video to figure it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5hcuLG-xp0. He has a link to download the files for Ktweaker which is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294083 but you ALSO need to know that, with the links provided, you PROBABLY need 4.3 touchwiz version. TriForce Rom is a touchwiz rom for sure, and depending on when in the future you see this, check your device's about page (in the settings on your phone) to make sure which version of android you're running.
ALL OF THIS SAID, I have noticed zero improvement. I've read some documentation on Ktweaker and watched some videos on optimizing it and tried several different settings (overclocking, changing the CPU governor, reducing internal and external read ahead (and increasing, for kicks and giggles, though it seemed counter to my intuition), and ultimately have found not a single detectable millisecond of improvement in the latency.
Does anybody have any ideas? I understand that the Nexus devices are supposed to have lower latency, but a new device is not currently in my budget. It seems to me that MIDI controllers have been possible with very low latency since far before the computing power of even this phone was available, so conceivably there should be a way.

https://mega.nz/#!VgNCGJTD!y62XM6nge9OTkKMp-nRbZoGKYoHqGB0nYiLyxhbBN7I
It is worth mentioning that in this release, if we toggle the root ON, we can freely modify the system partition! No need for any custom files!
Does "Pokemon Go" app works with this version?
good update but remix os is still far superior.
@slybunda At what? I can also say my bike is superior without listing it's pros.
more stable and better 3d support
It all comes down to specific hardware @slybunda . On my devices Phoenix is more stable and has more features at the same time plus a better design. I personally don't care about 3D acceleration - android-x86 would be enough for games because those are usually ran in fullscreen, so no desktop UI needed.

I love your rom so much @Regnas I updated a port that already existed for the vzw gs4 just so I could keep using it for my own personal use. It's the best rom ever, 10,000xlove. Sorry that's a little off topic because it's not really the same rom. This is just the first post I've seen from you and had to shoutout some love
@tdct12 do have in mind that this is an official release by Chaozuo @Regnas does deserve the love for publishing it though

Has anyone had any luck booting this from USB? I have tried from USB and SD, but have had no luck. I was able to dual boot from my SSD drive, but it seemed to make my Win 10 OS lag a lot. I ran the installer and selected install to U, and let it install. I do have bios setup to boot from USB first and even tried it through the boot menu. It almost seems like the drive is not bootable though. Any ideas or thoughts?
Verification failed error 15. Any work around?
My X2 broke again few days ago and this time im up for new Phone because the cost of repair is to high compared for the value. Also i need more battery & a (better) working Camera. Also i need to re-new my Phone Contract, so i can get a new Phone cheap. Before i leave i wanted to share my experiences for new or senior users which use/plan to update to 8.1. This Phone is very tricky, so it may save you a lot of work ^^
--- HOW-TO: Get best 8.1 battery/experience + gps fix ---
~ During my time with victara, I tested all 8.1 ROMs for a long time, gone thru log's, tested a lot of other stuff's and this is my result: (if you want to use X2 as an daily driver) ~
~ This applies to mostly all 8.1 based ROMs ~
1. From system/vendor/lib/hw/ delete power.msm8974.so = this lib is not used by anything since long and it just constantly crashes EVERY damn time you touch the screen. After deleting, reboot device and feel the speed increase instantly.
2. If you're a not playing RAM intensive games, use the SwapTorpedo Magisk module, it gives much more speed by disabling zRAM, which in turn saves a lot of CPU uptime. Our 2Gb RAM are enough to run even 3-5 heavy or more Apps simutanesly.
3. In developer settings at the bottom there is "background check" you can disable it for allmost ALL user Apps like fb etc. Notifications will still work no worry, they go thru Play Services. Also don't disable background check for Playstore & GServices = will result in crashing loops (internally), also you should keep all the calendar and contacts sync open if you want that feature.
4. Greenify has not much power on Oreo, dont use it. Use Naptime for great standby! ( keep "disable on charger" for GoogleSync to work properly)
5. footej Camera delivers best results on this semi broken camera...
6. Put as much Apps into /system partition, because they are faster then (use "stock" GApps package) and reflash it with an updated GApps package every now & then if you update your ROM (maybe once or twice a month)
--> on startup Android automaticly detects if there's a newer version of app in /system & deletes the one in /data ^^
7. If you want fast and fixed GPS then replace the file in /system/etc with my attached one. (unzip it 1st!) Works on all ROMs for victara!
8. Our APNs list file is outdated as hell, i suggest manually edit your settings. --> in "type" add: "default,mms,supl,ims" (supl is for location services and ims for things like VoLTE config)
9. There is a wifi config file missing in /system/vendor/firmware ... /prima/HERE [i dont remember extact location], but you will see WCNSS.conf (or similar name) file which is 0 bytes... copy the original one from /system/vendor/etc/wifi/prima to that location & reboot
10. Bad in-call sound quality & low volume fix: open build.prop in /system
Code:
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
change value to
Code:
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
Code:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=7
change value to
Code:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=8
(stock default)
--> save & reboot. Profit.
12. Allways look if you can disable unused Apps in Settings BEFORE deleting them from /system/app or ../priv-app -> it can cause loops (drain)
13. for getting another hour SOT (tested on new battery, non original but legit one) use Swift black substratum theme for anything. "make use of your amoled"
... will maybe update list later
Most stable, bugless 8.1 ROM? IMO: MokeeOS, why? (good stuff)
-> based on latest LineageOS 15.1 sources, even tho they dont merge every commit from LOS (?)
-> updates every day, even for our chipset
-> EXT4 is allmost 3 times faster than f2fs
-> its rock stable, just no NFC, less flashlight toogle bug, best camera performance of all 8.1 ROMs with footej camera.
BUT YOU NEED TO MOD IT! AFTER EVERY UPDATE. (bad stuff)
- STOP it collecting YOUR usage/location data: download the App i attached. (they removed the option to stop it and added their own location & data miner lol)
-> in system tab -> MokeeSettings -> disable all of its services (stats updating & uploading services etc). It will not affect system, but theres no other way, because they really try to hide it from the user
-> you can also disable analytics from Mokee Pay App
-> after disabling the services, you can uninstall "disable service" app
Dont get me wrong, i dont like many things how they "manage" their ROM & source. Moreover they push their users to donate, for FOSS (=FreeOpenSourceSoftware, get it?). with the work others did, but rebranding, "kanging" it as theirs. (atleast they give credits to Lineage on github). Anyway if your are looking for a stable 8.1 ROM, this is your only choice...
Thank you all in Moto X 2014 forum, i will possibly go for OPO 6 (bad Camera) or S9 (bad Software support by Samsung), cant decide
peace! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks man! i followed your instructions! but i dont know how to do point 2, since i dont know how to install magisk.
Sad to see you go. Thanks for all your works to this aging phone. I still keep mine and I have moved to Moto Z2 Play. Hopefully,I can afford One Plus 6. But,it's not available here. Good luck with your new phone. I'm sure you will enjoy it more.

Yeah. And then you open the app & look for modules. You can test them - and thats the great thing about Magisk - if you dont like them, you can easily uninstall them like an app.

My X2 broke again few days ago and this time im up for new Phone because the cost of repair is to high compared for the value. Also i need more battery & a (better) working Camera. Also i need to re-new my Phone Contract, so i can get a new Phone cheap. Before i leave i wanted to share my experiences for new or senior users which use/plan to update to 8.1. This Phone is very tricky, so it may save you a lot of work ^^
--- HOW-TO: Get best 8.1 battery/experience + gps fix ---
~ During my time with victara, I tested all 8.1 ROMs for a long time, gone thru log's, tested a lot of other stuff's and this is my result: (if you want to use X2 as an daily driver) ~
~ This applies to mostly all 8.1 based ROMs ~
1. From system/vendor/lib/hw/ delete power.msm8974.so = this lib is not used by anything since long and it just constantly crashes EVERY damn time you touch the screen. After deleting, reboot device and feel the speed increase instantly.
2. If you're a not playing RAM intensive games, use the SwapTorpedo Magisk module, it gives much more speed by disabling zRAM, which in turn saves a lot of CPU uptime. Our 2Gb RAM are enough to run even 3-5 heavy or more Apps simutanesly.
3. In developer settings at the bottom there is "background check" you can disable it for allmost ALL user Apps like fb etc. Notifications will still work no worry, they go thru Play Services. Also don't disable background check for Playstore & GServices = will result in crashing loops (internally), also you should keep all the calendar and contacts sync open if you want that feature.
4. Greenify has not much power on Oreo, dont use it. Use Naptime for great standby! ( keep "disable on charger" for GoogleSync to work properly)
5. footej Camera delivers best results on this semi broken camera...
6. Put as much Apps into /system partition, because they are faster then (use "stock" GApps package) and reflash it with an updated GApps package every now & then if you update your ROM (maybe once or twice a month)
--> on startup Android automaticly detects if there's a newer version of app in /system & deletes the one in /data ^^
7. If you want fast and fixed GPS then replace the file in /system/etc with my attached one. (unzip it 1st!) Works on all ROMs for victara!
8. Our APNs list file is outdated as hell, i suggest manually edit your settings. --> in "type" add: "default,mms,supl,ims" (supl is for location services and ims for things like VoLTE config)
9. There is a wifi config file missing in /system/vendor/firmware ... /prima/HERE [i dont remember extact location], but you will see WCNSS.conf (or similar name) file which is 0 bytes... copy the original one from /system/vendor/etc/wifi/prima to that location & reboot
10. Bad in-call sound quality & low volume fix: open build.prop in /system
Code:
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
change value to
Code:
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
Code:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=7
change value to
Code:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=8
(stock default)
--> save & reboot. Profit.
12. Allways look if you can disable unused Apps in Settings BEFORE deleting them from /system/app or ../priv-app -> it can cause loops (drain)
13. for getting another hour SOT (tested on new battery, non original but legit one) use Swift black substratum theme for anything. "make use of your amoled"
... will maybe update list later
Most stable, bugless 8.1 ROM? IMO: MokeeOS, why? (good stuff)
-> based on latest LineageOS 15.1 sources, even tho they dont merge every commit from LOS (?)
-> updates every day, even for our chipset
-> EXT4 is allmost 3 times faster than f2fs
-> its rock stable, just no NFC, less flashlight toogle bug, best camera performance of all 8.1 ROMs with footej camera.
BUT YOU NEED TO MOD IT! AFTER EVERY UPDATE. (bad stuff)
- STOP it collecting YOUR usage/location data: download the App i attached. (they removed the option to stop it and added their own location & data miner lol)
-> in system tab -> MokeeSettings -> disable all of its services (stats updating & uploading services etc). It will not affect system, but theres no other way, because they really try to hide it from the user
-> you can also disable analytics from Mokee Pay App
-> after disabling the services, you can uninstall "disable service" app
Dont get me wrong, i dont like many things how they "manage" their ROM & source. Moreover they push their users to donate, for FOSS (=FreeOpenSourceSoftware, get it?). with the work others did, but rebranding, "kanging" it as theirs. (atleast they give credits to Lineage on github). Anyway if your are looking for a stable 8.1 ROM, this is your only choice...
Thank you all in Moto X 2014 forum, i will possibly go for OPO 6 (bad Camera) or S9 (bad Software support by Samsung), cant decide
peace! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks man, specifically for the power.msm file to delete. The speed boost is amazing!!
Why the **** are developers not merging these changes with their roms? do they just not care?

Because they are hacks and not the properly way to fix
1.Ext4 is only for System,f2fs is much more faster
2.all other hacks can cause issues...

I do not understand, because some dev say that ext4 is faster and others say it is actually f2fs ... I understand the velocity that f2fs has, but this also brings instabilities to the system, while ext4 is more stable but not is fast as f2fs ... even so they still say ext4 may be faster than f2fs on some devices.the question is, for our victara, what is the best file system?

F2fs is generally more faster than ext4,
The firstly versions of f2fs(2012-2013) aren't very stable but now f2fs is very stable on the majority of device.
In other words
In general f2fs is a bad idea only if the original kernel isn't shipped with it(not our case)

I have yet to notice a solid speed improvement when switching from f2fs on ANY android device I have owned, plus this isn't the android chef's choice, the user is the one who decides this.
"Not the proper way to fix" - This is irrelevant and only applies if we have a proper way to fix these issues, the fact of the matter is that there is no official fix and these have yet to show any signs of conflicting with anything.
Most "developers" I notice are just creating a real quick build using pre-set instructions then sometimes cherry picking from other device's github sources. I am greatful that work is being done but it makes me want to boot into my old development desktop environment and show these cat's how to make something spicy. It's as easy as adding these fixes into your environment and then building the system image with these changes included, you don't even need to use the terminal to add most of these.

Just wanted to add my 2cents, about f2fs. I generally agree with you and also i read some deep-dive articles in the last few years. To keep it short: To be able to really benefit from f2fs,
you need to have HW (storage (eMMC) chip) which is optimized for it as well as the System/Kernel. f2fs was long in development like you say until it was really better than EXT4. But i think in the case of the Moto X2,
either the HW dont plays well or there is some other problem (i dont know which version of f2fs this phone uses). But what i know, from testing (a lot) and comparing results with an EXT4 ROM, EXT4 was ALLWAYS faster.
In (storage) benchmark apps, especially the random r/w, which is quite important, EXT4 was allways better. When i runned apps like SDmaid, (collecting garbage and doing DB optimizing) it was faster (allmost 2-3 times). Same for games like GTA or others which loaded data. I even mesured it to be sure, took many SS to compare because at that time i wanted to build myself, so i was interested whats better... (than my 2nd X2 broke:crying Anyway try it for yourself & you will see. On my old S3 mini, long ago the dev also updated f2fs version, but it still wasnt better than EXT4, i remember (Lollipop times)
To adress, "that these are hacks": I dont think so because those are doing much good and nothing bad. Maybe its not the most professional way to fix it (commit it properly), but it was the best i could do by then..
- delete power.msm8974.so - really this lib was not used by anything, i spend much time digging the Mokee Sources and doing logs etc... We used the AOSP HAL and the Qualcomm one was just bugging around... It didnt affect anything to delete it by then.. (dont know about now)
- setting "persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false" its cleaning the sound when you speak to someone in a call using the 2nd mic - but it needs that all plays nicely together. I tested it using 2 phones from friends and off was much better, maybe on stock it works well, but on 8.1 custom that was not the case. Also i found by searching a lot around that many more maintainers disabled it on their ROMs because it wasnt working properly.
- setting "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=8" -> its the default value in stock ROM, which i extracted...
- GPS fix was inspired by commit to many devices, which pulled settings via framework - this is the "lazy" version, direct edit. Anyway it was way faster (navigation in maps) no bad stuff in log and secure now.
- about APN file - it was really outdated... & about the wifi file, this is the only one i wasnt sure, but for G3 and S5 (which both are msm8974, custom 8.1) the full file was there?!
ALL the other things are recommendations from me (like IMO), thats why the title of this thread. Last thing, for disabling zRAM (SWAP) it was allready discussed in many tech sites that this is absolutely useless in times of 4+ gb RAM. Also it sucks CPU. In Pie its disabled now. We are on the border with 2gb so its up to personal preferences....
Anyway nice to see you working again on this great device, which i really miss I wanted to better "fix" those, with patches, builds and commits, but my knowledge was to limited to do that so i opted for a diffrent way. Also our source was to messy back then, couldnt really get anything done... and im still learning. Then it broke and that was the end for me on X2.
I wish you all the best, maybe you can do some magic on that device. Peace!
EDIT: Sorry the grammar, its late here and just saw this and had to answer..

I agree with you, f2fs in itself is faster than then many applications fail to draw the benefits is another fact (however I'm trying to do a f2fs backport from 3.10y (not very simple because motorola has done many changes departing a lot from the original)),
to talk about the fixes
in PIE I changed the powerHAL to QTI version (which solves the problem)
about wifi config no need to copy it from elsewhere that oreo and pie only see it in / vendor
for the other things i see them as optimization that the user can do only and i have nothing in contrary
Good stuff. Thanks for this. Latest mokee seems to be bug ridden, but I flashed unofficial LOS, and I'm applying these tips. Substratum won't work for me, but otherwise I'm happy so far.
Thanks again.
