***This is my rom from Androidforums.com I figured I would post it here as well to maybe entice some extra development towards this device. More features are to come and I will update accordingly. ENJOY!***
Your phone is about to be AWEsome!
This is a custom rom I have been working on for a few weeks. It is a WORK-IN-PROGRESS though there shouldn't be too many (if any) bugs. Updates are expected.
Features:
Based off Stock 4.1.2
Nexus Boot Animation
Rooted
Fully Deodexed/Debloated/Zipaligned
Custom *Working* Kernel featuring OVERCLOCK to 1.8ghz for ALL ZTE AWE PHONES (Fixes Bootloop Issue)
Tweaked Settings Menu *TBA*
Reboot Menu *TBA*
Fast and Smooth
Included Apps:
Apex Launcher (Replaces Stock Launcher)
Android Tuner Free (For Setting Kernel Values)
Cyanogen Calculator (Replaces Stock Calc)
Omni Notes
Superuser
Root Explorer (Replaces Filer)
Terminal Emulator
Wifi Tether *Fixing*
Some apps may have updates, even though I tried to add the latest versions. Chrome, for example, didn't like having the latest version installed by default so I had to use the original.
Removed:
Virgin Mobile Apps
ZTE Updates (Won't Install Anyway)
Stock Browser (Chrome is Default)
Google Play Apps (Books, Movies, YouTube, Games)
TouchPal/Swype Keyboards (Request to Include?)
Live Wallpapers (Request to Include?)
Unfortunately to remove the System Update that will inevitably try to install (but will fail because of the Deodex) I had to include FOTAKill. This also, however, disables updating the PRL/Profile updates too. Sorry, I'm trying to find a workaround.
TO DO:
Customize Settings Menu (Stated Above)
Fix PRL/Profile Updating
Fix Wifi Tether App (Stated Above)
Add Reboot Menu (Stated Above)
AOSP Lockscreen (Coming in V2)
Other Stuff I Find Useful/Broken (Make Requests, I'll See What I Can Do)

I tried the new rom from two different downloads and neither one worked. Because I forgot to leave the Debugging on on the phone I had to install with a sideload which seemed to go ok but I'm stuck in the reboot. I also didn't load the recovery rom to the phone so I can't get it back to where it was. The sideload doesn't work with the recovery rom. Keeps failing whereas the new rom loads but doesn't work. I'm currently trying to find another ROM that will work or a copy of the original ROM on the phone.

Hey really good ROM, but i missed the live wallpapers. I was wondering if you could include them or figure out another way so that i could have them.
Thank You!
bootloop
Hi, I followed your instructions on your youtube video exactly. youtube /watch?v=q8XKp9vEXaY
The last step says to reboot the phone. When I did that it went into a bootloop. When I hold down the power and volume down button it goes to the android system recovery instead of the cwm recovery.
I used the files attached to your youtube video ( the 4shared files)
but I'm kinda wishing I would have seen this thread first and used the files in this thread.
Anyway, do you know of anyway to save my phone?!?! And stop it from the bootloop?
Thanks!

Never mind I figured it out. Thanks!

Yes, tethering worked. I had a reboot after exiting out of ES, and restoring my backup for Rom Toolbox hangs every time in Titanium, but the rest of my 50 or so apps restored and seem to work fine. I've seen reports of Youtube and various other media apps not working but also others claiming they were working find, so YMMV.

I Wonder
can we use rom from International Note3 directly without changing any lib or other ?
ROM itself works very well, WiFi seemed okay, wasn't able to test calling, BT, or GPS unfortunately.
Anyone else get a crash followed by a bootloop after enabling Google Now (happens a few seconds after switching on in google settings, repeatable)? Happened to me twice, both on clean flashes. Had to go back to my previous ROM because I needed my phone.
If no one else can reproduce the problem, I'll try to get last_kmsg.
If you have t-mobile note don't change anything
Just flash it and gaps and then flash supersu.zip

Great work but mega still is a pita. Won't open the email confirmation link to setup an account.
I was running this for a bit last night, the following gave me reboots:
Google Plus - instant reboot when opening
Google Play Music - Instant reboot when opening
Pandora - Instant reboot when opening
Netflix - Instant reboot when opening
Entering settings and attempting to reconfigure wifi - Reboot
All in all, it was AWESOME to see lollipop on my tmo note 3, but had to switch back to temasek's CM11 rom because I stream LOTS to my chromecast using the above programs....and without those, I can't use it as a daily.
Thanks to Tony for building and posting a link though!
A lot of people keep asking how to install Safestrap so i will put it all here.
This only works for 4.6.x versions of FireOS
#ROOT
step1: Download KingRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/root-4-6-1-unlocked-gsm-phone-t3104621
step2: install the apk
step3: press the big button icon in the middle of the screen and wait for the process to complete.
note: (Latest version will be in english, 4.0 is in chinese i believe).
#Safestrap
Step1: now that you are rooted, download safestrap http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/development/recovery-safestrap-v4-0-1-t3149888
Step2: install like any other apk you download.
Step3: open application and grant it root access when it prompts you.
Step4: once you follow the instructions and install safestrap you can now reboot your device to access recovery
#Accessing recovery:
once safestrap is successfully installed, on boot you should be prompted with a choice of recovery or continue at the bottom of the screen, clicking recovery will get you into the safestrap recovery, everything is touch enabled.
#Installing CM11 (Please backup your contacts before continuing if you have no other way of getting them back)
Step1: Simply download the necessary files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/development/rom-cm-11-20150706-unofficial-t3151443
There is also the alternative SlimKat rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/development/rom-slimkat-safestrap-v4-2015-08-28-t3188787
Step2: reboot into safestrap recovery
(For those that wish to backup their FireOS incase they want to go back for any reason)
step2.1: Select Backup
step2.2: Swipe the circle at the buttom of the screen
step2.3: once the process has completed go back to the main screen
(Continuing installation of CM11)
Step3: select the wipe button in RED
step4: swipe the circle at the bottom as instructed to factory reset (NO PERSONAL DATA WILL BE LOST )
step5: go back(button is on the lower right on the screen for those without softkeys)
step6: select the install button in RED
step7: find the folder in which the downloaded CM11 zip is stored
step8: Select the file
step9: Swipe the circle on the button as instructed to confirm flash
step10: wait for process to complete then reboot
You now have CM11 :good:

Download a GAPPS zip file and flash it from safestrap recovery just like you did with the CM11 zip file.
You will have Play Store available after that: continue downloading your favorite browser and apps through the store.

I've gotten my Fire phone rooted, safestrapped, and running CM11.
Just one comment: the linked version of Kingroot is Chinese only. Get the rooting program from here: http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application
It took me several tries to gain root, so be patient.
How do I remove Safestrap if I don't want it anymore? I understand flashing a stock ROM, but Safestrap is a different sort of beast.
root/safestrap/CM11
Got ATT fire phone unlocked - on 4.6.1 and it just updated it self to 4.6.4 - got 4.6.1 / king root 4.5 / safestrap / CM11 and the google play store install files and attempted the following:
- under both 4.6.1 & 4.6.4 the play store would not work - only the initial run before it updates itself to a the current version - kind a killer for me can't get easily contacts etc.
- installed king root 4.5 - works on 4.6.4
- installed safestrap - works on 4.6.4
- backed up the phone
- flashed 4.6.1 - worked - have not tried older version - have not saerched for one yet
- flashed CM11 - worked - but no camera app works on this thing - the build in one can't take a single good picture / flash doesn't work - it is too slow too much flash flash pictures are all white - the google one can't switch to video mode - the camera fx one works ok without flash - have not tried with flash - video is not accessible - says not supported switch to video mode - a better camera doesn't work either
Next step would be try and remove the king root and use Super SU - didn't not like what I'm reading about king root.
cheers
So what next?
I have Fire OS 4.6.4 and used Kingroot to root it then installed supersu. I want to get CM11 but not sure how to flash to 4.6.1
Any help?

You don't need 4.6.1, Safestrap and CM-11 will work with Fire OS 4.6.4.
ooops... didn't see that I should be safestrapping on top of 4.6.1. Currently running CM11 8/29 build on top of 4.6.3... haven't noticed any issues, camera, play store, etc all seems to be working. Granted this is just a backup phone and has not be put through the ringer. What issues should I expect to see, any issues I should try to reproduce??? Don't mind being the guinea pig here.

As of now the biggest issues seem to be camera, 5ghz WiFi and play store crashes. There are other bugs but check the cm11 post in the developer section to see what's going on.
Thanks a lot. Can the mods make this a sticky?
Several people are going to be looking for this after the ebay deal on the Fire phones. I'm surprised there isn't already a sticky.

So, i've used Snapchat on both
Stock (5.1.1 - Oi1 Rom) and Custom Rom (Renegade)
I can't seem to get it to work on the custom rom, i've always had to use the stock rom and it would work just fine, but on the other it would say "temporarily logged out" or something different, but when i boot back to stock, its fine and doesn't hesitate to say that.
Am i missing something here?? i've already tried resetting my password 5 times to be sure.
Snapchat 9.1.17.1.0 -- Xposed Snapprefs 1.6.2
Snapchat and Root
I don't use Snapchat, but this might explain your issue:
http://www.xda-developers.com/snapchat-is-at-it-again-and-blocks-root-users-but-for-how-long/
Snapchat detects Root and stops working, XDA builds a work-around into Xposed, Snapchat puts out a new patch and repeat.
Found something new: Try updating to Snapprefs 1.6.4. And you will find more help here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-snapprefs-ultimate-snapchat-utility-t2947254
Thank you!
I've actually ended up researching and figuring it outmyself my way or work around.
Snapchat checks or scans to see if "Xposed" which leads me to not log in.
So in order to use Snapchat with Snapprefs or 3rd party, you would need to either
Install stock and root it, then log into snapchat with the latest version and then go to recovery to install xposed.
or
Install stock and root then boot to recovery to install the custom rom and do no install xposed framework.
Once done with booting up and setting up, install snapchat latest version, log into it and then install xposed.
once thats done download 'xinstaller' and check to enable downgrading and updating and then install 'snapprefs' for all the
juicyness of customizations.
Profit!
My configuration.
Snapchat -
9.17.1.0
Xposed -
75 wanam 20151008 - seems to work best for me on both roms instead of v79.
Snapprefs -
1.6.2

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.

They make a silly app with an unenforceable premise, the app sucks and they block third-party alternatives, their security is awful, their background data drain is known to go nuts, and now they are blocking root users so they can better charge you for replays??
But still they can't tame the root..
p.s. the CEO is an Apple fanboy..
Hi there. Has anybody built a ROM with the following specs?
- based on stock 14.6.A.1.236 (android 5.1.1)
- pre-rooted
- all security patches added, e.g. patches for those 10 critical bugs that have just been fixed
It is not stock but aosp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/rom-jaguar-amami-lp5-1-1-r37-hardened-t3396713
In Jaguar you get all the patches within 1 or 2 days. I am using it atm.
Alright, I just switched to Jaguar.
But it wasn't easy. Dual recovery with Philz & TWRP 2.8.x defended itself very persistently. Installing TWRP 3.0.2 had no effect - neither in recovery partition nor in FOTA kernel. Even the uninstall zip of dual recovery couldn't wipe TWRP 2.8.x, although the script said it had run successfully. So I kept installing images into different partitions in fastboot mode (which was the only mode that kept working all the time). In the end TWRP 3.0.2 suddenly appeared after 3 hours.
In Jaguar it was also a bit fiddling to get AFWall+ working. Optimumpro's dowload has a rather old version, which kept blocking all traffic. But after removing it and installing the current v2.9.1 it worked. Now I've installed all apps I need. Everything seems to work except for Gmail. That one always crashes on start. Its background process also steadily crashes, so every other minute I see a popup that tells me "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped". Clearing cache and data has not solved the problem. Stopping sync had no effect either. Maybe re-installing the gapps.zip in TWRP will help...
I also had problems to install TWRP 3.0.2 persistantly. My solution was to install Philz TWRP 2.8 and inside TWRP 2.8 I flashed 3.0.2. After that only 3.0.2 TWRP was available.
OptimusPro pointed out that Internet is only working if you allow apps in AFWall.
I switched AFWall+ from white-listing to black-listing and put nothing on the list, so currently everything can access the internet. And that's also what I tried in the older version of AFWall+, but it didn't work there.
One more question: where did you find the zip (for installation in recovery) of TWRP 3.0.2? I can only find img files for installation with fastboot.
I think in optimuspro version he disabled it?
you do not need a zip. In TWRP 2.8 go to INSTALL and there should be a button "Install Image" Then you can load and flash an img file.
Oh, I didn't know that you can flash img files in some recoveries. However the only partition I can select in TWRP for installation is /boot. Well, I proceed with the installation just for the fun of it... (some minutes later)... and yes, it has really overwritten /boot. That's not where a recovery belongs.
Anyway, now I can hopefully solve my problems. I use a lot of Google applications, but I guess I took a package that overwrote some files in /system that are not compatible with the rest of optimuspro's ROM. So I just flash everything again, but this time with a smaller gapps package. Let's give "micro" a try...
edit: No, that was not the solution. Gmail is still crashing.
Which opengapps version are you using?
I use arm, 5.1, pico. And then I just download the gapps from the play store.
I do not have gmail account, so I cannot test gmail. It is strange that it is not working. I meand it is just a mail app or is it so deep diving in the system?
First I tried gapps "stock". Now I see that this package was too big, because it not only installed a bunch of apps I don't need, it also removed SlimPie launcher, the camera app, and the mail app that comes with Jaguar. I guess it also removed some more apps... probably every app that could be replaced by a Google app.
Now in the 2nd run I used gapps "micro". It looks like none of the Jaguar apps have been removed. Gmail still came with the gapps package, but now it has been installed side by side with the mail app that comes with Jaguar. The same for the launcher. And of course I had to install some apps in play store (e.g. maps), which were not included in the package.
Well, I'm not sure if I like the Jaguar ROM. Sure it has the right priorities. But aside from gmail I might have found some more problems. I installed Automate in order to automatically turn on/off wifi when coming home/leaving home. Turning wifi off (and using cellular data) works fine, but when coming home and wifi is being enabled AFWall+ blocks wifi traffic. So far I could manage to unblock wifi only by activating/deactivating airplane mode (or rebooting of course). And there might be problems with WhatsApp as well. Sometimes I don't receive messages until WhatsApp has been opened. Maybe the background process doesn't run or it is not able to receive data, even over wifi. Maybe AFWall+ is blocking traffic again... or some security defaults are blocking WhatsApp. I don't know. Threema doesn't seem to have the same problems, it works very well on Jaguar.
Whats App is working for me withour problems. And AFWall+ runs normal.
But yeah, I would say that custom roms are always trickier than stock roms. But for me Jaguar is the only rom where I can say, that I am on best security level. So I can live with the issues I have.
I realized that I need to do the gps fix which is mentioned in th main thread.

You can flash it using TWRP. Copy the ROM to ur sdcard / internal storge. Boot to recovery. Goto TWRP recovery menu - choose Install option, select the ROM zip, and install. Very straight forward. Don't forgot to Safe Format your Data partition. Better from TWRP menu do a full wipe using "Advance Wipe" option for all partitions ( Remember, all your personal data will be removed from internal storage as well ).
After installing, you can flash OpenGapps ARM 6.0.1 PICO or NANO package for further app support. Xposed framwork ( wanam ) is good addition if you know what you are doing. 1st reboot will take some time. This is the 1st custom ROM for SM-1600 ever.
It is quite stable and good battery life as well. For better battery, install Govtuner, open terminal app and type following.
Code:
su
govtuner
And select "Balanced" or "Battery" option. For further optimization, you can use pre-installed L-speed app.

First of all, thanks for your rom and topics about the sm_G1600 !
Can you tell us which base rom you used for this optimized rom you made ? I'm using now ZCU1AQB1, rooted & with google market installed and prefer not to downgrade.

I used ZCU1AQB1 only. As personally using the same stock based firmware. Still now stable and rocking I am ameture developer though - need more people to look into this device - it is having good potential ! Presently working on completely disabling selinux or atleast permissive mode. May be next version
I was unable to download the ROM today. Is the link down?

Please check now again. https://mega.nz/#!CJY20IrB!gfbIhV2l_MCdHr4ot7tb4zBth7sBMWiw0mpt49ejMsc
Thanks! I got it downloaded. However after I installed it, WiFi refuses to stay on. I toggle it on and it just toggles back off right away by itself. When I reflash stock software, I can use Wifi, however.

Did you wiped your data partition before installing the ROM ? If possible, backup your internal storage, go to wipe, select wipe data, and type yes. Then using adb sideload - try to install the ROM
1. started with firmware g1600zcu1aph8-20160909140813_chc . This was a clean install through Odin.
Software settings at this point:
android version 6.0.1
baseband g1600zcu1aph8
kernel 3.18.24-8981871
build number mmb29m.g1600zcu1aph8
se for android status enforcing
knox version 2.6
android security patch level august 1, 2016
2. I then went into download mode, and using Odin, flashed the TWRP found on this page: https://www.aryablog.info/2017/06/rooting-and-installing-google-app-on-galaxy-folder-2-sm-g1600/ . This starts out in Russian and you have to switch to English every time.
Before flashing TWRP, download mode reported:
Product name SM-g1600
current binary: samsung official
system status: official
reactivation lock: off
crom service: unlock
knox warranty void: 0x1 (0x20c)
qualcom secureboot enable (csb)
ap swrev: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
secure download: enable
download mode!!
3. Reboot, wifi is still working
4. Boot into recovery (TWRP)
5. At this point the phone is not rooted. I now did an advanced wipe, including dalvik/art cache, data, internal storage, and cache
6. Now I flashed your ROM Sillycon_beta_1_sm _g1600.zip via TWRP
I select safe format
I get a lot of "failed to mount data" errors here before the flash starts
No errors appear during the flashing process
script says everything went fine
7. I reboot
During reboot at the top it says: set warranty bit: kernel
There's a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and next to it some Chinese text that google translate says is a warning that the phone has a non-samsung official system.
8. green screen with cogs while "android is upgrading" and optimizing apps
9. System boots to main screen. I attempt to toggle Wlan on, but after half a second it just toggles back off.
10. At this point, I put in my SIM card to see if that affects anything. Wlan still won't stay toggled on. I am able to make a phone call without any problems. I wasn't able to login to Google, getting the error that I don't have a network connection.
I go into mobile networks. I check Preferred Networks which is blank. Network mode is LTE/3g/2g auto connect. access point names has nothing selected, I set for ATT Nextgenphone. Under network operators I select Select Automatically and get "registered on network" popup.
Still can't sign in.
I then tried all the other options under Access point names, with the same result.
It should be mentioned that I have an AT&T microcell, so picking up data signal should not be a problem inside the house.
This is not my "daily driver" phone, so I'm not in a jam here. I can only guess it's possibly something to do with the radio (modem?) file, or something to do with using this phone on AT&T in the US.
Btw I fixed the data so it worked. For some reason it was toggled off.

Can you provide links to the TWRP version you are using? There are different TWRPs for different phones, and the twrp app doesn't list this phone.
TWRP
Attached with this reply. Though I personally changed the default language to english. But, still under modification. I will share soon. Also suggesting you to try Beta2. Flash it, then install following
1) OpenGapp Pico ( for arm )
2) Wanam Xposed https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862685344
3) Any Viper4android for Marshmallow.
New one is much faster and daily driver. No knox popup, so su issue ( sepolicy injected ). Please don't forgot to press thanks if it helps. :good:
How can I make TWRP mount the data partition?
And has anyone figured out google assistant?

Do you have the stock kernel from the Chinese version firmware?
I was able to get google assistant working using the Korean version firmware, but it doesn't allow for exposed because the kernel has the security patches up to May 2017
My ROM based on Chinese Firmware only. Please find kernel https://mega.nz/#!zMIlkABB!PaVLQynV9R4MnyBxgB8d05ymq7pf1HD-AAE-xdj4TsQ
Can you please share Korean Firmware Download URL ? May come-up with a ROM with that.

I don't see a link for just the kernel. I can upload the Korean firmware to google drive.
Upload error . Updated that post with Mega URL.
Wait a few minutes, I will have the Korean G160N firmware on Google Drive.
Not sure if dual sim will work, flash at your own risk.
