Original ICS 4.0.4 (Korean for LU6200 only!!!) as CWM flashable Zip-Version.
Including CWM 5.8.2.0 (Touch-Version) and ROOT!!!

No more hassle with flashing a KDZ file first, after that rooting and whatever...
Just flash this Zip-file in CWM (no matter what Version 2.3.5 / ICS you have right now.
Please note:
Wipe cache/data/dalvik/battery and also format cache/system/data/ (in "mounts and storage") before flashing the Zip-file or it won't boot after flashing!!!
After flash is finished, reboot into recovery and wipe cache/data/dalvik/battery and reboot system. Now you should be on ICS 4.0.4 and also rooted.

depending on the location, baidu storage can be extremely slow.
anyway, im really enjoying this update, but anyone knows if there is any possibility to get a stable version of CM9 for LU6200?
No CM9 for LU6200, i asked Ricardo (Dev) a long time ago. They never planned to port it to LU6200.
But with the ICS out, i see no need for CM9 at the moment.
@ali_alex: I will upload it to Dropbox and update the Link later.
Updated the Links, now also available on Dropbox.
@ali_alex: Can you give me some advice how you got the call logs working again? thanks

Set up your phone number
Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Or use a old phone to set up phone number
Sorry for asking, but what exactly means setup the phone number? On the SIM card?
Before ICS on GB 2.3 i had a little app named Sim Toolkit, it installed automatically after i inserted my SIMcard. But that prog is not available anymore.
Weird thing is that i know that the call logs were working on the fresh installation of ICS.
Thanks. But not working for me, cant install the app. It says thats its not compatible with apps which share the same user ID.
Does this mean that everytime one gets a new phonecard, have to do this stuff?
I guess its a little embarrasing for users who dont know a lot about it.
I tried to associate my number with my SIM card on my wife's phone. But back in my phone the number is still not available.

I flashed the new ROM from gfan.com now. All is working well including call logs, still without "my number".
Also they managed to make the weird Icon on the upper right disspear and the ROM is already debloated. I just had to reinstall google apps pack.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4333749-1-1.html
that weird icon appears when the phone is in a situation where it can't make 3G video call.. which is usually available in Korea only.
anyway, how did you download the new version? I browsed the chinese forum, and.. i'm just lost there even after using google translator. could you upload the new one on somewhere else just like you did for the earlier one?
update: never mind, i found a way to download it. have you noticed any performance difference between the first release and the v4?
Thanks for clarifiying what that weird logo is for.
It's definitly faster and the battery time is also better. With the stock ICS my RAM usage was going up without doing much,
and now on that ROM the usage is half with same configuration/apps.
The guys have lot of experiences in making custom ROMs, and for me it works.

Thanks so much for sharing the files on dropbox, currently still downloading them. Btw, when you boot with this rom, does the ICS engineer version message on the upper left of the screen pop up?
And after the animated boot logo finishes, does "Android is Upgrading.. Optimizing Applications" also show up?
If you have a download link of gapps for LU6200, I'd appreciate it a lot if you can share it.
Thanks again!

Please note, that the ROM on Dropbox is the ICS 4.0.4 already rooted with CWM Touch but not debloated, that means untouched.
The link i posted later is a new debloated and optimized version but they also debloated google apps.
You can find the google apps pack here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Just boot into CWM and flash the zip like you flash ROM zip's.
Engineer version shows up on all boot screens for ICS (LU6200) at the moment, because it was the only way to bring root and CWM onto the phone. (because the had to flash engineer version before the stock KDZ to get it work)
But it does not mean that the ROM is engineer version, its 4.0.4.
"Android is upgrading" message did not appear on the ROM version i had before, but on the actual one it is.
Only one thing i dont understand, why its always "media scanning" the SDcard and thats sometimes for a long time. Maybe its my card, but in GB it never appeared.

Thanks for the link and other information. More power to you and hope we can get some more variety of custom roms for the LU6200. BTW storing the roms on Dropbox was very ideal for Dropbox users like me since copying the file into my Dropbox account was instantaneous!
I've been browsing the Chinese sites using Google Chrome w/ its built in translator but downloading from from their links seems impossible and ultra slow if the free download was selected
Your welcome...
If you need a ROM from gfan.com or other chinese sites, just let me know. I can upload it for you, since i am in China so the DL rate is much better here.
For Mozilla Firefox there is a very good translation tool available, its now also working with Google Chrome.
http://www.perapera.org/
I've made an account on 115.com its like the chinese dropbox, there i also can just copying the ROMs to... if the Uploader also stored it there.
This is just a recovery I compiled from the latest available code from the CM10 source. It does not offer any major upgrade in function from ACL's latest cwm recovery, but is slightly aesthetically different.
Installation:
Download from link below, flash with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Bugs:
recovery.log may show these errors:
Code:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory
but it does not affect usb or mass storage afaik.
Download:
recovery_cwr_6.0.1.3.img - 3.36 MB 9912

Feel free to report any bugs and enjoy.

In that case, just choose "no".
sorry to revive this old thread, but i just realised this recovery has a big problem and wanted to warn anyone who may want to try it: most blckups made by it have md5 mismatch, i meant i got that error at 14 out of 15 backups created.
EDIT1: i had a look at the backup folder and as far as i can see some .img files are not generated (i think cache and recovery) and also the nandroid.md5 is not generated, but that is easy to fix by generating it by urself throu adb.
Battery loading Led not working
The Led is not working with this recovery while charging.
I guess the Battery is not loading, too.
Edit - This is only, when phone is off. -
Hope this can be fixed.
regards
Sorry about the bugs/lack of support but I do not have a Touch Pro 2 anymore.
The most help I can offer is uploading the device tree that I used to compile recovery in CM10 (and potentially compile a booting version of CM10 but that has never been accomplished due to kernel issues).

If you would like to play with the 3.4.17 kernel for S&Gs, you can find it in this thread at the bottom of the first post.
Maybe some of the kernel issues will be fixed there? I can probably get the git for it if you would want it.

Sixaxis controller
Hi All
I have been running trunderROM 800 v2 for a while now and I am very happy with it thanks to shaheer and everyone involved for taking the time to make this amazing rom.
I'm having trouble with the sixaxis controller app.
It will connect to the tablet if I run the app with in the first 30 seconds of rebooting but then it will drop out after period of time sometimes hours sometimes just minutes.
The rest of the time it will just hang on listening for controller.
It seems that a something is cutting the connection when it runs in the background and stops the connection being made once it is running. If I connect it within the first 30 seconds everything works for a time, then the red light turns off on the ps3 controller but the app still says that it's connected.
I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issue with this rom and app?
I'm not sure if this is a rom issue or not but it seems to me that it might be as it does work to a point and then stops.
I would be grateful for any help or ideas on how to fix this.
Many thanks Richie
Fix

No worries man I was a noob to android back in july. Twrp is a custom recovery when you press the home+power+vol up at the same time while the tab is booting. Aroma installer is an installer inside the rom in which you can pick the apps,launcher and few few other settings while installing the rom. It makes the debloated process easyer. To install twrp you must be rooted and search in the play store twrp. Once its downloaded open it and hit install. You have to pick the exact model you have. May I ask what model is your tab s and size? Once you pick your model you will have to hit the install and it well make you download the file needed for the recovery. It then should say its installed and you will have to reboot into recovery. Twrp recovery is a touch recovery in which you can can install roms. To install roms (thunderrom/rom in a zip) You will have to backup everything. You have to hit the backup tab and check/tick every box in which md5 check, compression, data boxes are optional depending on how much memory you have. Now you just have to slide the slider and it will backup everything. It may take a while and you should have your battery charged while doing this. After your backup is done, now is the installing of the rom. You have to clear dalvik and cache before installing it. To do so I forget which tab its in but it should be in advanced. After clearing those you now hit the install tab. Now you have to select the rom you downloaded and it should be in the downloads folder. When its selected slide the slider and it will install it and take you to amora installer. Just pick the things you want and then it will install it and take you back to twrp. Now just hit the reboot tab and tap system. Then the tab s will reboot and have a custom rom. There are also some helpful videos on youtube to help you and if i forget something. Hope this helps! My fingers hurt lol.
I have a question: I understand I need to do a complete back up before flashing any Rom, but to do that don't I need to install a custom recovery. So does that mean I won't be able to put the stock **recovery** back if I need to?

To install that backup you will need the custom recovery. You can get back to stock by flashing the stock recovery img. I dont know exactly how to put back on the stock one but custom recovery is mostly needed to install your backups in case something goes wrong.

Google Account Manger crashing on setup
Hey folks!
Flashed this rom (both 2.0 and the beta) and I get the same problem when going through the setup of the tablet. When I get to the screen 'some apps are personalized to the user' or something, I need to enter a name, when I do so I click next and I get the error message 'Unfortunately, Google Account Manager has closed unexpectedly' (my wording might be off, but I assume you guys know what I am talking about).
Would really like to try out this rom, but can't seem to figure out how to fix this issue.
FIXED:
When I put in anything into the name fields, the app crashed. Leaving them blank allows the process to continue.
First of all I am not a established developer still learning android system...... if anything creates problems after flashing this rom or after installing, dont blame me..
Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.
Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.
Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.
Features:
1. Less Lags.
2. Fast.
3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.
How to install:
Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system & efs as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.
1. Just download the zip from the link provided below and keep it in the root of sdcard.
2. Also download the gapps provided in the links. First link is which I installed on my device and second one is the latest. Keep it also in the root of the sdcard.
3. Now just boot into recovery mode i.e. TWRP , do not wipe anything, script will do it itself and just go to install and choose the stock chinese rom for 6045I.zip and flash.
4. Let the process to complete. It will ask to restart the system and just restart the system.
5. After first start choose language and other options, again boot into recovery mode and flash the gapps provided.
6. Here the stock chinese rom will run smoothly on your 6045I.
7. If TWRP gives error "error in executing binary" then you have to manually edit the updater-script but it depends on what your TWRP says about the error. So just ask me I will tell you what changes to make in updater-script.
After couple of manual restarts or with time rom will start to run smoothly.
Links :
Rom : removed due to some problems occurred after flashing.
gapps : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614559 or https://basketbuild.com/gapps (choose android 5.0).
For any kind of help regarding to this rom pm me or just ask in this thread.
I will try my best
Caution : Does not works on 6045Y & 6045K.
Backup efs also in case u loose ur IMEI or having error of unknown baseband/ no network
If you like my work, dont forget to hit thanks......
Sorry for all the trouble caused.
Well I am also in the same boat as well.....

For screenshots of rom visit this page : http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/idol-3-source-code-available-t3180369/page14
Now going to sleep, as have to go office in morning......
Quick question. Can this rom read/write ExFat? I'd rather have my sd card formatted to that so that i can store larger movie files.
Are there any real noticeable differences besides less lag and fast? Those two mean almost the same thing. Does this ROM offer anything major that the US stock ROM doesn't? Awesome work though making a new ROM for the community to try. We appreciate your work. :good:

One enhancement I read about was that it did have newer camera software. Many of the packages included are newer version levels than the ones included on our phones because the i806 came out after our models.

You should consider removing the system update checker from your custom rom. The icon appears in your screenshots so I'm assuming it's still included. Since the build.prop says it's a 6045i but it has the i806 codebase patches will never apply since the checksum's won't match.....so depending on what "version" it thinks it's on vs the update version the update checker will either never show an update or always show an update.
OK. I think I have this working. The ROM seems to be functional for me. Downloading all my apps now and getting it set up how I like. Will try to run it through the day tomorrow and see what I like and don't like... not expecting much difference over stock, but we'll see.
Anyone have a suggestion for a lollipop compatible "minimal gapps?" I'm really only interested in google play and gmail..no need for google+ etc.

I might still have a PA micro gapps file somewhere. Just need to see if it's 5.0 or 5.1.
Edit: Here you go. Just pick up the zero gapps. It works perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792842
Another option is the Slimgapps official thread here. They do have a "zero gapps" package, and both 5.x I think.

Yupp bro.
Just edit build.prop with notepad++ and change it to 6045Y instead of 6045I and flash the rom.
Then check the log of TWRP specially before the error in executing updater binary.
It will say something about the check_cu.
If you will open updater script with notepad++ you will see first line of command saying "check_cu("6045I-2AALUS7");"
Just change this line ("6045I-2AALUS7") with the line shown in the TWRP similar to this ( something like 6045Y-XXXXXXX)
Then again flash the rom, gapps and hope it will work.
If it works, dont forget to hit thanks button :laugh:
Ok... I'll see, my phone is less than one week old and I swore myself that this one would be kept untouched for a year. I wanted to keep it clean for warranty purpose but one week later... I'm already rooted.
I'm kind of flashaholic so won't resist very long... Don't worry.
What will it update exactly? Is there a risk it will mess up the European radio part? Just to make sure I'll still get a good signal or loose imei.
I do have my twrp backup for boot and system image, will that be enough to get back to a previous working state?
Thanks,

I rooted my phone the next day it came to me,
Eventually i am also not going to get warranty as I imported this device from US to India.
N I personally dont care about warranty as none of the android device gets bricked completely, there is always a way.
Like I got stucked in bootloops in try of porting cm12.1 from other device.Even my backups failed to boot. Then I followed the mobile updater app provided by Alcatel and it simply restored my device to factory rom which will get updates also.
N warranty will not work if the device got physically damaged.
Yes backup will work.
After flashing this rom I would suggest you to make TWRP backup of this rom also alongwith Stock one.
I am getting a lot of range in network selection as it contains all the radios available for this device.
Screenshots of network range:

It's much safer to mod now since with Version 4.9.2 of the Mobile Q software from alcatel (you have to tell it you have a "pixi" for that version to appear as it's so new) allows you to put the phone in "download mode" and fully restore the device to factory condition. (tested by multiple idol 3 users of both the 6039 and 6045) This goes a long way towards making the device unbrickable.

I agree with you bro......:good::good:
Thanks both for your answers. Yes the Alcatel restore software makes things way easier to fix. I already installed it yesterday to make sure my phone drivers are installed for any "phone state". I also have the android sdk installed.
By the way, I am thinking to bring my small contribution to this forum by creating an " ultimate list of mods/softwares/issues" for this phone.
There have been so many news and achivements in the past few weeks, it's a bit difficult to read everything in the correct order.
So last question, how about the radio, imei, etc... Any risk on this?
And then, I think I'll give it a try.

I'm attaching a platform.xml file already modded to allow full read/write access to the external sd (just drop the .zip off the filename as that was just to get xda to allow me to upload it...it's a text file)....you might find it useful to replace this in yours.(/etc/permissions)..other options include pre-rooting...adding in init.d support....etc.
Ran this ROM overnight and through most of my day so far (about 3 hours off the charger). First impression is that it's about the same as stock, not that I was expecting any different. You get the TCL splash screen at boot but the overall UI is pretty much the same. Since I now have root I went ahead and used app quarantine to freeze the bloatware apps I didn't want. Kinda wishing I had installed minimal gapps, but I figure I'll be reflashing again soon since the floodgates are probably about to open with new ROMS anyway.
Conclusion: If you're curious, flash it, it doesn't hurt anything. It may be a hair smoother, and I haven't really tested the camera extensively enough before or after to be able to tell a difference.
Edit: Literally as soon as I submitted this message (from my PC) I went to turn wi-fi off and the phone decided to reboot. Really odd.

This is NOT my work (Ianmacd) and guide is written by Mr Pickles all credits to him for his install method.
Also this is just a copy and paste but the guide is well written and TWRP should cause less issues.
I'm sure Gieti94 is just perhaps busy with other commitments, credit also to him for his fantastic efforts.
Just a new space for the currently working TWRP so all don't get in a pickle.

Excellent installation Guide below
Install Guide
---------------------------
- NOT A SINGLE STEP IS UNNESSECARY
- DO THEM _ALL_ EXACTLY!
- ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE GONE - BACKUP!
---------------------------------------
DO NOT INSTALL MODPACK FROM SOLDIER - IT BREAKS TWRP!
---------------------------------------
If you have any problems - contact @PiCkLeS or on Telegram by PiCkLeS or @rp4k
---------------------------------------
All development is by @ianmacd (Ian Macdonald).
---------------------------------------
0 - No matter what you have today, no root or Magisk-only solution or TWRP with Magisk-solution, do ALL the steps..
1 - Make sure you copy the "Magisk_Manager_Ian_install.apk" file and "Multidisabler-g97x_by_Ian.zip" file to your sd-card before you start!
2 - Download latest firmware via Samfirm or Frija or in any way you can, and unpack.
3 - Boot your phone to Download mode (Power+Bixby+VolDown) and remember to have the USB connected to your computer, it won't boot to DL-mode otherwise
4 - Keep autoboot etc in Odin settings, put each file in its place (AP, BL, CSC etc) and _dont_ use HOME_CSC, use CSC-only-file.
5 - After Odin is done, your phone will reboot automatically - let it! It can feel like forever, but let it do its restarts and stuff until you are in system-setup
6 - Do the setup as per usual, CONNECT TO WIFI but you can safely just say Skip on sign in and other stuff
7 - When setup says its all finished and you get to the standard launcher - go into Settings and enable Developer settings
8 - This step IS necessary.. If you don't do this step, you might get in pre-normal rrm state and you will have wait 7 days to try again: Enter Developer settings and look for the "OEM Unlock" switch - if you are rooting for the first time, Enable it. If you already have root since before or unlocked your bootloiader before, just confirm that its Enabled and graded out.
9 - If you already have an unlocked bootloader, skip to step 12. If not, continue with step 10.
10 - IF you never have unlocked your bootloader before, Power off the phone and boot into download mode again. You will see the long press volUp option for unlock bl, do that.
11 - IF you never have unlocked OEM before, boot the phone again, do the setup without signing in etc but connect to wifi, enable dev settings, go into dev settings and check that OEM now is enabled and grayed out.
12 - Reboot the phone in recovery mode (Power+Bixby+VolUp and keep holding until you are in stock recovery. Choose and do a factory reset.
13 - Reboot to bootloader with option in Recovery.
14 - Flash the tar you got (S10x-TWRP+Magisk_fixed_by_Ian.tar I Odin in the AP-slot. DISABLE auto reboot in Odin first!
15 - When the tar has flashed - Do as instructed on the phone, hold Power+VolDown for a few seconds and AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK -> quickly press power+bixby+volUp for a _long_ time, and I mean it can feel as if its a full minute! After a while you will see TWRP starting with its start screen, you can now let go and enter TWRP.
16 - FORMAT data, then WIPE data AND Cache. DO NOT LET IT REBOOT
17 - Flash "Multidisabler-g97x_by_Ian.zip" from SD card
18 - Go back to start screen of TWRP, Choose Reboot, Choose Recovery - YOU MUST ALWAYS CHOOSE REBOOT TO RECOVERY and _NOT_ system!
19 - Let the phone reboot into system, it will do some reboots it self, and again it will feel like it takes FOREVER - Just let it do its thing and DO NOT PRESS ANY KEYS!
20 - When your phone is finally done booting, just do the normal setup/signing for real this time.
21 - When you are done and in system/launcher, install "Magisk_Manager_Ian_install.apk" from SD card and verify that you now have Magisk Manager installed.
22 - Start Magisk Manager and say YES to what it says, it will do some stuff and then say "Rebooting in 5 seconds" - LET IT BOOT AND DO NOT TOUCH ANY KEYS this time either..
23 - Now when booted to system, start Magisk Manager and see that you have all green and its installed.
24 - Now you have root.
** Every time you reboot manually, be prepared to hold Power+Bixby+VolUP until you see the Samsung S10x-logo, then release and let it reboot, you will have root.
** Every time you power off the phone, when you power ON again, hold Power+Bixby+VolUP until you see the Samsung S10x-logo, then release and it will boot with root.
** Every time you want to enter TWRP-recovery, do as above but KEEP HOLDING THE KEYS UNTIL TWRP-start screen shows then release. Remember to choose reboot to recovery afterwards and you will boot with root.
** IF you screw up and forget or miss the key combo, just let it boot to system, immediately when system is up - reboot again and do the key combo and all is fine again.
This is me just trying to get an emergency first aid space, nothing more, I'm NOT trying to take any credits or dismiss Gieti94.
Thanks All

Yea I can keep the OP updated, this is just an emergency first aid thread, thanks to Pickles for his well written guide.
I'm really not wanting to offend anyone, just for all to make life a bit easier....
very nice to have a reliable twrp solution, pitty that we don't have too many things to flash in recovery
Please remove the alternate download link, I have updated the multidisabler zip with a important update, v1.1 and the one download link for all is just for things like that, the other download link still have the old zip.
Very important that everyone uses Ian Macdonald's new v1.1 multidisabler script.

I understand. But that doesn't seem to be a big problem for any one else and the bigger problem is that you risk having a link that is being used by the people only see it here and don't read anywhere else, or this message, and end up with old information or even worse, outdated files.
I can help you get the files on PM but please remove these links outside of my drive, which I maintain every day and keep up to date. It's not for vanity, it's for safety.
For now please edit your text and remove the link. All must use v1.1 of the multidisabler zip by Ian.

Maybe this thread was a bad idea, as stated I am around and willing to keep things up to date

Listen, just to be clear. I and I dont think Ian have a problem with you having this thread.
All I am worried about is the download link. Things can and are happening fast. If there are multiple sources for downloading files in this case, and today one was updated with important improvements, and there are many places to download from people can miss that and download old files that can cause big problems.
Keep the downloading to one good source and everything will be fine. The thread in it self can do much good by showing that there is an alternative, it works and right now almost 100 people in 24 hours have used it. Fantastic!
So I dont think it was a bad idea, I just dont want PM:s from people in a week or two asking why their device suddenly lost data, only to find out that they downloaded from a source that didnt have the latest files.
Thats all.

I fully appreciate and understand that, the reason I created as I have plenty of time to maintain, and will keep it up to date I have been around for quite some time, if you look at my posts (search) I have had almost every device you can think of, currently have the Vivo IQOO also, I have enough experience to understand the important and implications.
I don't want your PM's to be going crazy so I'll fully respect your decisions and will keep everything updated also. But it is better if everything is tody and not one thing here and there, OP has been updated with your direct link, is this cool?
Just thought by creating this thread that it might help, my sincere and good intentions are hopefully evident
