GravityMod - custom ROM for THL W8
Version 1.0
Hey!
This is my custom ROM for THL W8 that's based on Eastcom W1 stock Android 4.1.2 ROM, which
I find better than the THL's stock one.
It's a pure stock with some of my mods on top of it and it's flashable via recovery (CWM or TWRP)
(For installing ClockworkMod or TeamWin recovery, refer to this thread )
Main features
- Deodexed
- Rooted
- Busybox
- Sysinit support (init.d scripts)
- AOSP lockscreen
- Additional languages
- Power menu - reboot to recovery
- Volume key cursor control
- Automatic hide of signal icons for empty SIM slots
- Better camera picture quality at default settings
- Internet calls support (SIP)
- Faster UI ( still locked at 30FPS, though :( )
- Updated Google apps
- Google Now included
- Stock launcher replaced with Nova Launcher
- Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
- Chinese apps removed

Installation instructions
1) Download ROM zip and put in on SD card
2) Reboot to recovery (cwm or twrp). Turn off signature verification if it's on (ZIP is not signed)
3) Backup your current ROM (optional, but highly recommended)
4) Perform factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache)
5) Install ROM zip downloaded in step 1)
6) Reboot. Patience required - first boot takes a while
ATTENTION:
Kernel (boot image) that comes with this ROM is not compatible with the stock ROM, nor other custom ROMs (probably).
When returning back to stock rom/other rom, you should flash stock kernel afterwards (e.g. using SP Flash Tool) .
Otherwise device won't boot. I will provide a ZIP package with stock kernel soon.
