Introducing Batakang ROM for the Verizon DROID RAZR HD and the Atrix HD. Both devices run fine on the Verizon DROID RAZR HD firmware, and only require 1 ROM for both of them. Batakang ROM (test 12) is build from Hashcode's stock ROM and updated to the official DROID RAZR HD Jellybean by myself. Credits go to Hashcode for his stock ROM and his Safestrap 3. Without him no ROMs would be possible on this device!
Changelog:
12/2/2012 - Test 12. Updated base to official DROID RAZR HD Jellybean.
12/3/2012 - Test 13. Added busybox. Added OTA Update Center support for SS3 auto-updating by dhacker29.
12/12/2012 - Test 14. Added init.d support..
Swtiched from Superuser to SuperSU to fix root issues. Wipe if coming from Test 13 and before!
12/12/2012 - Test 15. No more included Gapps. Flash the 4.1.2 Gapps after flashing Test 15. Do NOT update Google Now (Voice Search) unless you like blank screens on it.
12/13/2012 - Test 16. An 'official' BatakangROM Gapps package is now used. Fixed hopefully all issues with force closes on previous test. Play Store working right away, Google Now works... as always let me no what problems.' Also, TabletUI will no longer be supported officially. You have to change the build.prop line for it yourself starting from now on. Uploading the same build twice just wasn't working out.
12/13/2012 - Release 1.00. CPU Sleep removed (wasn't working). Tethering fixed by default(maybe). Changed version name out of Beta
Known Bugs for DROID RAZR HD (as of Release 1.00):
[If Tether does NOT work out of the box: Download SQLite Editor and change line 67 (entitlement_check) of [Settings Storage > settings.db > settings] from a 1 to a 0. Reboot. WiFi tether and USB then should work.
You tell me.
Be on Jellybean on the DROID RAZR HD (Non-Dev Edition). This can be the leaked or official.
Make a ROM Slot in any ROM slot.
Please go to SS3 main menu.
Choose 'Wipe' and then 'Factory Reset'.
Install the .zip (flash it!)
Then flash the latest official Gapps for the BatakangROM.
Reboot into the ROM.

Evidently you need to restore a backup to the ROM Slot of your stock ROM before flashing. Adding this to the instructions.

The wallpaper is not selected as default, but IS an option in the included launcher (When you hold down on the homescreen to choose wallpaper, its one of the choices. )

Did you check to make sure you had root on your stock rom slot? I should probably re-read your steps up to this point, but as long as
you had root before flashing this to say rom slot 1, you should not have lost root. Are you using OTA rootkeeper? Have you tried opening
it and toggling temp un root? Are all the boxes checked, specifically the one that says "root access gained"??
Typically, when I use OTA, i restore root, then go into SU update the app, then update binaries... after that I'm good to go.

Noob here..
I having some problems if i should flash these roms and i need to confirm the next steps that i think i should do (my device is already rooted)
I got a ICS Stock from Telcel and i want to get batakang but i was reading that you need to flash from a Jelly Bean ROM, so the question is what i need to do to get batakang...
Should i start unlocking bootloader??

Assuming that you're NOT on a dev unit... there will be no bootloader unlocking. If you're rooted, you need to install OTA rootkeeper, protect root, then unroot... install the JB leak from this forum in the stock android recovery. Reboot into the JB leak restore root, install safestrap... backup stock rom... create rom slot, restore backup to rom slot... flash batakang. Got all that??

^^ They are on telcel.. so that is XT925, don't think this ROM is meant for non Verizon models... Could be wrong.

Well this rom is compatible with both the RAZR HD and the Atrix HD, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

But HD and ATRIX are both Verizon phones? I just know that CM10 needs a specific ROM for both XT926 and XT925 so there has to be a difference.

No notifications on Sprint S4 on 4.3 Please Help

I couldn't wait to get my hands on a 4.3 S4 rom so I could have fully functioning Galaxy Gear. I am currently running Sacs 4.3 v3. I am currently not receiving any notifications. I have read and searched many threads and forums. I have lock screen on so that is not an issue. I have all the notifications turned on under settings in Gear manager. I have factory reset my Gear multiple times. I have completely uninstalled gear manager and reinstalled. None of the changes have done anything for me and I am frankly getting irritated. On Sac v8 4.2 i was getting gmail and facebook alerts but even those are not functioning now. I was able to go into Samsung apps and download the latest version of Gear manager so at least the Samsung app store is recognizing 4.3. In short I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my Gear, the rom, or more than likely my self!!!!! The only thing I can think of is that one of the tweaks to the rom may have broken the passing of notifications to my Galaxy Gear. My next step Will be to install a stock rooted rom and see if that works, but haven't had the time and really really don't want to go with out Sacs Rom. Is there anything that needs to be left alone in a rom in-order to keep Gear function? Any help would be grateful.
Thanks.

I posted a message for sacs with this thread. Hopefully he will look into it.

Thanks.....I have been in contact with Sacs, he doesn't have a Gear for testing (wish I could just buy him one LOL), and I know he is so busy hate to bother him. I was hoping some one else that has a Gear and does rom development might be able to shed some light as to what may need to be added removed or left alone in order to have Gear compatibility in a rom. Again Im not even sure it is the rom. I will try to install stock this afternoon and see if that fixes things for me. This way I will know if it is the rom or something else.

Okay I'm running Sac's 4.3 v3.1, with Gear Manager v1.4.102802 and Gear ROM ver. V700XXUAMII.
Tested these notifications and they work as expected:
-Incoming calls
-Missed call
-SMS
-Gmail
-Hangouts
Although I do disable these and use ATN Manager for the detailed Hangout and Gmail messages.

Great I will do a clean install and see what I can figure out......like I said I knew it was probably me. Does the weather work on yours?

Ok reinstalled sacs 4.3 v3 from scratch and installed samsung apps, then gear manager before restoring anything. Everything on the Gear works perfect.......so I deceided to test and see if it was the kernel. I installed KT's kernel and gear is still working. So in short I must be stupid because I am not sure what I did last time when I installed sacs 4.3. The only thing left to try is to reinstall my apps and see if that breaks the notifications. I will let you know how it goes.......Thanks for all your help.

[Tutorial] TMOBILE Locked BL Android JB 4.3 to Kitkat 4.4.4

TMOBILE USA takes forever to launch new software updates. I wanted Android Kitkat 4.4.4 on my XPERIA Z C6606 Now!

Here is my guide to save you all time. I will not be responsible if you brick your phone. If you brick your phone use Sony's PC companion to repair your phone.
This Guide was tested and worked on my XPERIA Z C6606 Tmobile Locked Bootloader. On Windows 7 PC.
Have [[NOT]] tested on other XPERIA devices and would not recommend it on other devices.

4. To root Kitkat 4.4.4 go to this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55357181&postcount=1
I used GeoHut's tr.apk to re-root my phone.
[[KNOWN BUGS]]
Stamina Mode "On" has random restarts.
Connectivity with Mobile Data is not 100% everywhere you are at... (maybe because the baseband is taken off a c6616) [[[FIXED]]] see below:
Go to Settings:
-Under Wireless & Networking select "More..."
-Go to Mobile Network Settings
-Select Access Point Names
- ADD a new APN or edit existing. Use settings below.
I would recommend downloading SuperSu from the Playstore and granting permissions to it.
Credits go to:
Androxyde for Flashtool
Chainfire for SuperSU
Geohot for the original towelroot exploit
NUT for kitkat 4.4.2 US customized .ftf flash file.
KingVortex for writing up the guide to root kitkat4.4.4
Lastly, I should get some credit for compiling this guide. :angel:

I'm on Rajeev 4.4.4. Easiest way if you are already on 4.3 is towel root, install a recovery and flash Rajeevs rom per his instruction. Boom. On 4.4.4. My process was similar but came from 4.2 and hit every major revision since. No need for flash tool with Rajeevs work!

did you run into mobile data issues? when traveling around town sometime my mobile data cuts off.

I did at one time with an older ROM and Android version but seems to be fine now. Used to live in an area with really poor cell service so that was likely part of the issue.
Did you do a clean flash? The Asus Transformer guys developed a little script I always use called super wipe. Works great. With the phone I do a full wipe usually too then.flash the new stuff.

I am assuming none of you have T-mobile Wifi calling after the 4.4.4 upgrade. I really wish someone would port a kitkat rom for this phone with wifi calling enabled. hows the battery life after the upgrade?

You should add to this guide that although you will get mobile data, you will NOT get LTE. You will only be able to get 2G, 3G and HSPA+ but you will not get LTE using this ROM because it is not for the C6606.

Hi. Are you results confirmed? No LTE?

Yes, confirmed.

So after getting kk and no LTE.. If we use another ROM for c606 would we get LTE. Sorry I'm new to Sony devices and I still don't know how to door this thing I want to put cm12 on this because jelly beans on a Sony device seems bad
Sent from my C6606 using XDA Free mobile app

anyone has a tmobile c6606 with cm12 or 5.1.1 dirty unicorn if so how to install it on a 4.3 jelly beans stock lock bootloaders

I have LTE and I am on a C6603 rom. I get 2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE. I am also on Rajeevs last rom.
CM12 and the like are custom kernels. No customer kernels with locked bootloader.

I believe you are wrong on that. Initially with a stock T Mobile apn you will not have LTE. But after searching around I got it to work just fine but had to use a different apn than the one it would download. I will post the apn settings in a few in hopes it will help people. I run Existenz on my 6606.
Okay here is my apn settings. This is what worked for me as like I said the stock apn would drop out and do all kinds of dumb stuff.

Hi guys. I'm new to Sony. I have a C6606 and I want to flash either reeve or Existenz roms. My phone is currently running stock 4.3. What are the steps I needed to do before start flashing custom rom? Should I root first, install nut recovery then flash the rom or is there anything special I needed to know. Thank you.

I know this is older but I did this update and it updated me to the stock 5.0 Lollipop if anyone is interested yeah you lose Wi-Fi calling I've got LTE but its a price to pay to lose Wi-Fi Calling lol..

No those are H+ speeds. 4G LTE would be at least twice as fast.

Sadly, too much of a price to pay for me. I get the feeling our C6606 will be one of very few devices left behind.

verify your APN is correct, remove all APNs that you do not use, this is an alpha so stuff like this is expected, they have been merging a ton of code

2 questions, what is the hash in the status bar and how can I disable it, and does this rom support multiple dpi's without playstore issues?

1. You are using something with root access. 2. That would be a gapps issue not rom related.

This is working pretty good. Thanks. Only thing to report so far is volume long press to change tracks is not working for me. Looks like its time to learn a bit about android and finding out what to tail when these things are happening..

Having the same issue here. Just flashed CM12.1 BETA and track skip is not working. Hoping there is a solution.

just something curious about.
Is the 12.1 kernel for this rom set up to work with cm12? could this be the issue that cm12.1 isnt running properly with 5.1 kernels?

Sorry for cluttering up the ROM thread with my issue, I'll continue my research here. I need a little assistance and I do believe it's a CM12 and CM12.1 issue regarding LTE in my area. Here's a brief synopsis of the issue I have.
When I got my N6, i played around with stock 5.1 for awhile. I live in a rural area in Wisconsin where I get 2 bars of LTE from a Verizon tower on my Jetpack and I got it on my old S5. When I brought my N6 home however, regardless of what i tried in Cellular settings, i had nothing but 3G unless i switched to LTE/CMDA/UMTS mode where i would get my Data. I was unable to make or receive calls using this and I called Verizon. After a brief checking on their end, they turned on Enhanced LTE on my account, which made the toggle appear under Cellular which i flipped on. I was then able to make and receive calls and get LTE data.
My issue with both CM12 and CM12.1 is that the toggle for LTE/CDMA/UMTS doesn't exist on either build. If I flash the most currently nightly of CM12 or this Alpha, I am stuck with 3G at home. I have switched Cellular from LTE to Global on CM12 and it doesn't make a difference. The Carrier on the ROM usually reads 31000 rather than Verizon in the status bar. I have attempted to take the working APN from my stock rom and mastamoon graciously posted his apn-conf.xml on the ROM thread which i replaced mine with and still no LTE. Now here's the kicker. I drove into a different town that has a Verizon LTE tower and flashed the latest CM12 nightly from stock 5.1 and was greeted with LTE out of the box. This leads me to believe that there's something different about the LTE tower here by my home which requires this toggle on stock to even reach. It's a fairly strange issue, to be sure. I've flashed non-CM Optipop and flipped the toggle in the rom and have LTE here at home.
Now I know most people think, "Well that's your problem in your area, I don't have it so why make it a problem with CM12." Mainly because it's a technical issue which can be resolved by running stock 5.1 or a 5.1 ROM so there's some integral component in CM12 missing that stock has, perhaps tied to that toggle switch. My main goal for the N6 was to end up with CM12 and I really don't plan on giving up on it. I'd like it to work here at home though and as it stands, I can't use it if there's no LTE. (I tether and the 3g tower is crap) So there in a nutshell is the issue i'm having. I'd appreciate any advice to get this working on my phone.
Edit: Doing a bit of further research and comparing my phone to my friend's N6 that lives a town or two away, I've again flashed CM12 nightly dated 4/11. I was able to get LTE from the tower by my house by switching to Global and setting US Radios in the hidden menu. I could not make or receive calls however. The Enhanced LTE toggle does not exist under the Mobile menu and the VoLTE Provisioned flag toggle does not exist in the hidden menu. (#*#*4636*#*#) This was required to be on (even on stock 5.1) to make calls.
Edit: Ok so hmmmm.... I fiddled around some more, tried a different 12.1 rom and went back to this unofficial and now for some unexplainable reason it all works. I really wish I knew why. The only caveat is that VoLTE doesn't work.. possibly because it's a 5.0 rom and not a 5.1? My data drops out when the phone rings on LTE.

com.android.phone has stopped working
Hi I've done a complete wipe via TWRP 2.8.5.0 (system, dalvik, cache, etc.) and installed the official latest nightly of Shamu CM12.1 20150418. I've also tried a combination of GAPPS such as the one on the second post (gapps-lpmr1-20150324-signed), and gapps-L-4-18-15, gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed, but all come to the same problem.
When the system starts up, I get an error that com.android.phone has stopped working. It does not pick up my network, and I cannot place calls (other than emergency) or send/receive text messages. This happens with all the CM12.1 releases, with all the combination of GAPPS. When I revert back to CM 12 with the 5.0.x GAPPS, it works just fine. My nexus 32 gb is factory unlocked.
Any ideas?

To better consolidate the existing development for the Huawei Honor Note 8, I'm creating this thread to keep track of the available ROMs for this device.
As of right now, the only ROMs currently available are meant for the Chinese EDI-AL10 variant of the Note 8 and are listed in the Huawei forums (and subsequently in Chinese), so I've mirrored them on Google Drive for those who are interested.

The best and easiest solution would be to find the Google Play Store app in the HiApp store and just to install it from there,
but if you also can't find it in the HiApp store (I didn't), it may be that the Google Framework and supporting apps aren't installed.
Don't try manually sideloading anything or flashing any GAPPS ZIPs as nothing I could find ever worked without breaking Huawei's system apps
(things like using your navbar home button...).
I found this Chinese Google Installer meant for MIUI ROMs without Google preinstalled, and it worked perfectly for the BO22 system.
First you need to uninstall every Google component if anything is installed (I used Titanium Backup Pro),
then run the Google Installer app and let it install everything (EMUI may flag most of the installers as unverified, install anyway).
After that, reboot your device and the Google Play Store should work like a charm.​
jdantow has made an excellent thread detailing how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP, check it out here.​​

Thanks for the ROMs..Do comment which of the ROMs you have personally used, if any.

I'm currently using KangVIP, it works extremely well and offers an awesome variety of tweaks and settings to customize the EMUI interface. I'd test the other two as well, but I need my phone to stay usable at the moment as I'm a bit busy with work and classes...

Are Chinese and Huawei apps gone in these roms? Thanks for the thread. I love my Note 8 and maybe more with a custom rom

@benmeroff Very helpful thread. Might wanna add to the OP roms are for EDI-AL10 Chinese model of HHN8. If international version gets released - this EDI-AL10 roms collection will likely cause bootloops and soft brisks, if flashed to another version.

As these ROMs are actually Chinese-based (you can change to your language immediately in setup though), they all still contain at least most of the original Chinese and Huawei apps, and I have posted a guide on installing GAPPS for this phone as these ROMs do not include them.

Well thats not a problem. i have many Chinese and Huawei apps unistalled/frozen with Titanium backup. Also Phone manager app is ****, when that app is on i get no notifications.

When you say TWRP won't install it, do you get a specific error message, or does TWRP not even see the ZIP file?
I did get an error message while installing KangVIP, but it still successfully finished the install and I was able to fully boot afterwards.

This is what I get

My bad, double post. Can't delete for some reason

Weird... I'd try redownloading the ROM ZIP, almost seems like the updater script is corrupted or something. Also, are you dirty flashing it or clean flashing it? I clean flashed it and had no issues, so if it still refuses to install I might try wiping first if you hadn't yet.

I'd definitely do a TWRP backup first so you don't leave yourself with nothing to boot into, then try flashing KangVIP again.

Have you found the stock rom download?
---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
Rather odd.. did a factory reset in TWRP. Boots up & noticed my fingerprints are still stored in the phone. I wiped everything I could in TWRP but the storage & SD card. Did it twice with the same results & then a 3rd time with the KangVIP rom. They're still in there. What's up with that?

Anyone set the CPU/GPU in K Settings to Performance mode with KangVIP ROM and notice a less laggy experience?
I'm going to try it out for a few days. Normally Chrome is quite laggy and 3D game performance is poor compared to Snapdragon 820/Ardeno 530. I'm hoping it's just optimization issues and not limitations of the Kirin 955 chipset.

Back to the origin!

Hallo,
First of all thanks to benmeroff and the community for this job!
As a newbe, I messed up my new Huawei Honor Note 8, in an attempt to change the Chinese language to Italian or English, including the installation of these ROMs.
Again, as an ignorant on the matter, I thought that just unrooting the device and using an application, or a different ROM, would have solved my problem.
Doing these attempts I messed up everything, making several functions becoming unavailable, and I was very close to brick my Phone.
After two days spent to find a solution, and I found it in the same Chinese site where the ROMs are, they have the Original stock ROM for this device.
I don't know if I have the privileges to post the link here, but, If you want to have a look search the site with a post dated 2016-10-25 09:48:27 from "Pokemon".
I solved all of my troubles and I was able to return the device to its original condition, where OTA update is also available (after installation the device started the EMUI update on its own!).
Hope this helps all of you!
