Unfortunately I'm not the developer of this ROM so I can't take the logcat. MaclawStudio team could handle that, (I'm just sharing the ROM) , but I'm sure within the coming weeks it will be almost bugless Bluetooth seems to be a general bug for now, I'm also having issues with it.

try CWM 5 from MMB

For those of you who have trouble installing this, this is how i did it (not saying it will work for you but it worked for me).
First of all i might say that i used CWM 5.0.2.6.
1) I booted in to CWM
2) Format system (option is found in mount and storage i believe)
3) Full wipe/factory reset
4) Clean cache and dalvik
5) Install the rom
6) Clean cache and dalvik
Reboot phone and wait for it to start, when i got my phone started a noticed a lack of Gapps so i once again rebooted
in to recaovery and installed this Gapps
Im not taking any responsibility for what happens to your phone if you follow these steps only i can say is that they worked for me

I have installed it over Modded Cm10.1, with all necessary wipe's.
btw. Why KikKat if we cant get it main feature - ART. ?

I see What You Mean, but there are alot of other reasons, such as the lowered system requirements, sweet newer type of UI, THE LATEST ANDROID VERSION (to name a few)

Anybody having Problems with recovery and install use @phiexz CWM 5 (ext4 only) :good:

when a new update ?

too laggy i dont recommend it at all

[MUST READ]description for rooting, roms, kernels and everything!

//I AM STILL TYPING AND WILL TAKE TIME << SO DONT REPLY
i had typed and mistakenly deleted the tab before clicking post :|...i will delete these two lines once i am done with everything//
guys!
something we are all familiar with on galaxy grand forum is spamming!
indeed there are still many users/new users who post WRONG POSTS in WRONG SECTIONS..
still u can find questions which are off-topic/not related to forum/which have been answered several times/which have been asked several times by making new threads etc.
it not only takes up unnecessary space on server, but also lowers the value of GALAXY GRAND DUOS community..
developers getting pissed by day to day ETA's and helpers pissed by posting same and same answer, to several people !
i do know that xda's search option on top right might be not that accurate for some here,
SO
here i am here making an illustrative thread,(after discussing and opinions from many on xda)
WHICH will not only help you to solve ur problems regarding roms, but also day to day frequently asked multiple times answered questions....
its possible that it does not contain everything that u need , but seriously guys, it will at least decrease number of SPAMS on our threads...
all problems will be mostly illustrated below.........
just read it once please before posting in all other forums....
Few Information better read before any Posting!! (most Important..)​1. AOSP based Rom/ Non touchwiz Rom (cm11/carbon,resurection remix, paranoid android,Pac-man ,Omni,and others)DO NOT support DUAL SIM Functionality..(it Requires Broadcomm Specific Codes which are not released as Open Source)...
you want Dual Sim , be On any touchWiz based Rom(Stock, Gennxt , etc)..
2. Difference between Touchwiz based Roms and AOSP Based Roms of our Device
1. AOSP Roms DON'T HAVE Dual sim functionality.
2. these are small in size as have only basic android Framework and Do not include bloatwares.
(Roms size~198mbs+)
3. AOSP Roms don’t have TW features, (but have their own**)!
4. they are Highly Customizable and meant for performance.
5. Lower RAM Consumption compared to TouchWiz.​
1. Touchwiz Roms HAVE dual sim functionality
2. TouchWiz Roms are Larger in size
because of heavy Framework and Bloatwares*
(ROM Size~844mb+)
3. Touchwiz Got its own specific Features and its own apps for Music/camera etc.
4.they got polish and looks (in own way).
5. High RAM consumption Compared to AOSP. ​ * Custom Roms based on Touchwiz are mostly Bloats free.
**Features varies from Rom to Rom.....get a quicky info in Roms Section!​
Recovery Mode and Download Mode
recovery mode- it is a mode used for multipurpose uses.......described below..
switch off the device..hold (vol. up +powe+menu) combination...and let device start..once device start...remove hands atleast from power button else it will switch it on again!!!
How to operate it???
use volume buttons to navigate up and down...
use power button to select!
stock recivery(by default samsung recovery has limited options below....
-reboot system now
(Reboots the system).
-apply sdcard:update.zip
(Install diverse updates like themes, custom roms etc.)
-wipe data/factory reset
(Deletes all the apps, data and system settings(Files on the external SD-card will stay untouched)
-wipe cache partition
(Only wipes (formats) /cache partition (sometimes used as temp storage for updates, market downloads, etc) it hasn't anything common with Dalvik-cache which is in /data by default and it implies that the following boot after wiping cache partition will not be any longer than usually.)
beacuse stock recovery is limited.....custom recoveries are important which have got special features like backup/restore...and many more..
I use CWM...and it is easy to use..i will tell in later section
Download mode- it is used to flash firmware by Odin...
Combination - (vol. down+menu+power button)
once it boots ..there will be a screen ..
volume up to confirm that u want to go ahead and flash by Odin.
volume down to backoff and restart if u did it by mistake....​ using ODIN
(lifeline of Samsung firmware installers )
it is really simple app fpr windows PC to flash firmwares/kernels/recoveries etc.
when you brick your device, dont panic and post anywhere...just re-install the firmware by Odin for developer's sake
it will remove everything and simply will install the Samsung's firmware and will make your device like a fresh new one!
an app for saving asses of guys like me who unwillingly/unknowingly brick there device!!
Odin download
link~ http://bartztech.com/wp-content/uploads/YP-G1/Restore/Odin3v1.7.zip
Odin Prerequisites:-
When you need to flash using Odin, you need the Samsung drivers, so that Odin can detect your device while attached to PC via. USB cable....
- Samsung USB Drivers
linky~ http://www.mediafire.com/download/hzlnda0l5t8qyes/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones(3).exe
download drivers
remove old ones installed by control panel(if any)
reboot
install the drivers given
reboot
ready to be used
A stock Samsung USB cable (it seems to give better result than other USB cable bought on third party sellers.)
Flashing by Odin
Note- An Odin flashable file is supposed to be in .tar or .tar.md5 format only.
1.Run Odin.
2. Put your device in download mode(switch off then press vol down+power+menu button altogether.....once it starts..leave buttons else will switch off again coz u are holding power button remember !!)
3.You should see a yellow/blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying ready. that is your device ID actually.. It means that your device is ready to be flashed! (It is important because it means that device connected is recognized by Odin )
4.Go into the PDA section and take your .tar file.(if single file is given.)
if multiple .tar files are given then put CSC in CSC...phone/modem in PHONE section respectively
5. if there is also a pit file then make sure that re-partition box at left is UNCHECKED>!!
6. meditate for a while and ensure once again hat files u have selected are for galaxy grand duos only !!
obvious if you flash s3 files by Odin..you will end up in boot loop..
7. hit start and pray to god that all goes well *kidding*..it will
8.When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box saying PASS..if it says fail.....i.e. your USB is not accurately detected...or is detected but disconnects in between.... it happens sometimes if it is not THAT GOOD usb cable...dont panic..remove battery and repeat all steps again!! .just dont let it touched even by air if that happens..keep trying and it will work...once work is done..the first thing u do is get a good USB cable (its i am talking about extreme cases , there will be no problem else )
once it is done , device will be rebooted ( if reboot is checked in left box(u will get what i am talking about once you open app and see by yourself)
Note:- if you have flashed a firmware..first boot might take time from 3-10 minutes...just keep patience and wait....
if still it doesnt start after 10 minutes ....remove battery...re-insert...go in recovery mode..clear data/format and clear cache..now reboot..wait again.... and you are good to go
​ ROOTING and CWM
basic reason why most of people come on XDA is how to root!
thanks to @chotu222 who already have made a thread so that people can follow and acquire what they wished!!
i will be short and still descriptive!!!
(as it is already mentioned in forums and its pain to type so much :/)
PROCEDURE:
simply for quick pickers.. install CWM and then flash superUser through it!!
is it really that difficult to do??
there is a cwm given with SeLinux support(which is must for installing kitkat roms ), so why not just install that CWM and be carefree (whatever u flash, it wont give any problem)
simple two steps.....
Step 1: installing CWM...
here is SeLinux supported CWM file..(thanks to @pawitp \m/ )
linky~ http://goo.im/devs/pawitp/i9082_cm11.0/recovery_20131210.tar
download it and flash via odin
NOTE- while flashing by Odin , untick auto reboot Option(because rebooting device makes stock recovery to over-write over CWM recovery....)
once the flashing process is done....simply remove and re-insert battery, and go to Recovery Mode, flash the Fix-Recovery.zip given below...
that will fix your problem
Fix-Recovery link- http://www.mediafire.com/download/74mmd1x4af6hlo4/Fix-Recovery.zip.
Step 2: installing superSU: SuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.
linky~ http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip
just flash the superSU by CWM.....
reboot the device...
and your device is now rooted(check it if there is a superSU app in ur app drawer or not).
that is it!!
that's all it takes to root your device...
just 5 minutes :/
NO..You wont loose any data..its just that you simply installed an app in system root directory
​
Custom roms
Custom Roms are customized Roms for devices..providing us with various different options/advantages over stock Rom what we have Pre-installed by company!..it could be a de-bloated same stock rom w or w/o extra features,/ a whole new version of android/ a ROM based with UI built for different mobile...
simply..there are many Roms and the list is actually long..i cant simply explain but still tried to....
They are mostly based on Aosp/Aokp format(in simple words, with look of nexus UI), or OEM's based(in simple words like Samsung's touch wiz, htc's sense)..
every rom has its unique specialty..unique UI and Unique features.
OEM's are heavily programmed and sized, bloated with factory apps pre-included..
that is the reason that nexus based Roms (~250Mbs+) are twice smaller than the official firmwares(~800Mbs+)!
thanks to all respected Developers who did put such their efforts, and have provided us with so many ROMs !
i am enlisting all ROMs down here with short descriptions, so that you can find everything under one thread here!
AOSP BASED ROMs-
Kitkat (android 4.4.2)
CyanogenMod 11-
thanks to @pawitp for developing this Rom. i dont think i need any explaination for CyanogenMod
its basic AOSP Rom based on Kitkat(4.4.2)...used as base rom for many Custom Roms, It is considered as standard Rom by many Users...Good battery backup,performance and less RAM consumption is speciality of this Rom..it don't implement much extra features except basics, as try to be as near to Nexus stock rom!
developer is always trying to update it as soon as CyanogenMod releases any update...
pawitp has also given delta update Option if you are using limited mbs and internet..its like update and patches which are directly supposed to be flashed (and are <20mbs)..just the modifications made are given , so that you dont download the whole rom...
NOTE- just read FAQ section in cm11 thread for more information on Delta updates.

​
Carbon Rom
One of the most appreciated Rom Built for galaxy Grand i9082 @xenon92 did put some serious green lantern efforts here (the reason why it has got amazing battery backup and performance)
personally, have used many Roms built for the device,but carbon Rom was the one with least problem when Run by ART compiler..
not only its RAM usage decreased from avg. 300 to 210, but also it supports Gapps in ART (while many Roms conflicts with gapps and give FCs in ART)
it has got many add-on features then just plain kitkat Roms...With the possibility of Halo getting Implemented it Near future(Depends on Carbon Team), lockscreen blur, notifications on lockscreen and Active display comprised as its one of good add on features, there is a Good battery backup (actually good,), with performance..
just give it a shot and u will love it

SlimKat
One of best thing about @xenon92 is that once he starts rolling new roms, he just cant stop ....
so again, introduced slimRom with kitkat power..
slimRoms are most light weight code based Roms , for performance!..they don't add any extra features(Halo and all) because performance is MUST
good when it comes to battery backup
just install and u will never regret it

Posting in the wrong section
@raghavsharmaxda you are posting in the wrong section!!!!
Post this in the general section.

The main reason I postes this here is coz many do come here for FAQ thread..
So its better that they read it here near FAQ thread (so that ppl think twice before posting noon kinda qsns in FAQ too and helpers do save sometime !!).
Still if its a trouble I will surely move it..
Thanks for advice...

+1...i also somehow feels the same......with grand becoming older and older down the line.......there wud be probably more activities in Q & A section with no more stock firmware upgrade and amazing devs developing new roms ( hopefully ) and new probs wud arise if any......

it's great someone has decided to write down all the important things we need to know of our phones in one place... Thanks a lot @raghavsharmaxda :d

I also suggest adding site-specific Google search, it's a lot better than XDA search. It should help a lot of newbs.
Add "site:xda-developers.com" after the keywords i.e. "battery drain problem site:xda-developers.com" and type it into Google search. It also works on other sites, not just XDA.

Download the gapps on the section above.
Go on TWRP, and wipe data,system, cache and dalvik cache.

I can´t answer you sincerely. I did not try with MultiROM, but I would put my hand in the fire that it will not

Hello guys. Another post from me. @aznrice2k4 , @MidnightNinja and me are working for release a Gapps with all new apps from Nexus 9 system dump.
As a lot of people seems that are not able to live without root, thanked to one of most cool guys I know @sykopompos , we are gonna release a modified version of the kernel which has selinux set to permissive, so that allow us to can use root working at 100%. It needs to be flashed via fastboot.
fastboot flash boot bricked-boot.img
Download link: Here here!

Great work man.. Much appreciated.... Have been refreshing the dev page and chkng the xda page since monday
Just one qstn.. Will this still have the miscellaneous battery drain ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

There isn't a particular reason that we have to use TWRP right? Other recoveries should work? You guys rock! :good:
Also we can just flash the new kernel, then flash SuperSU to get root, right?

1. Root works after flashing supersu. No need to flash another kernel since it's my exp bricked version.
2. You can use multirom but it has to be internal and not secondary. Why? IDK. I tried.
3. Flash another kernel and I have no guarantee for anything.
4. I haven't even had the chance to text back my gf since all I've been doing is rebooting rebooting and testing gapps. Battery life? Good, I supposed. I have no clue.

Anybody wanna tell me how to get back into recovery. I guess I jumped the gun.
Tried to volume- plus power and got the red triangle android guy.
Manage to download es file explorer off internet and saw my files intact on SD.
Didn't see the no root issue so didn't flash SuperSU. .
BTW no internet or computer with me

Looking foward for the gapps and we're good to go....

Seems that flashing this zip will take out or replace the recovery. All you need to do is download TWRP(my favorite), and flash it via fastboot. With that you will have back your recovery access. I have internet and computer working perfect to me, idk what happened to you. I would recommend you to flash the L 2nd preview radio indeed.

Wait so we do not need to flash the permissive kernel?
Also, this doesn't have the Play Store, correct?

Elephone B Version 2016 CyanogenMod 13 ?

it was funny how I realized mine was the new version now
I made this thread here so you guys can discuss, this is for information to others who have gotten the new elephone
1) How do we get root ?
No, there isnt any proper recovery last @Emileh ported it did not work very well you are able to flash it the recovery but you are unable to boot back into the system it just stuck at the elephone logo.
2) as of now we only have one rom that has been up here and running K06TE-A.A.vR14.E1.160707 (2016 Version)
K05TS-A.A.vR1E.E2.160217 (2015 Version)
3) cosmetic mixed up (happens alot on chinese phone)
my front is the old 2015 version cover but my back is the new fingerprint cover (possible you can confirm with that is the new elephone you have if you are not sure.
4) so no root and no cyanogenmod and no recovery ?
as of now Im not sure about root, cause I did tried to flash recovery from @Emileh but I could not boot back to android os, so we cant flash supersu,
kingroot and others dont work !
also there some memory layout changed, so it will render the android 5.1 roms useless, please dont try unless you know what you are doing and know how to recover from mediatek usb port
5) will CyanogenMod 13 work ?
to be honest we need a fully working recovery.
maybe there can explain and clear anything more that I left out, I have just gotten the phone
@skeleton1911 @BlueFlame4 @Emileh @Deepflex
somehelp would be nice. thanks would be nice to get cm13 for both the 2015 and 2016 working

Hey,
well the 2015 and 2016 versions are basically two different devices - despite having the same name they share very little. A unified CM 13 build is thus not only difficult to establish but I would even say that it makes things more complex than developing two single versions. That said, CM 13 for the 2016 should be rather easy to bring up because it ships with 6.0. Basically you could take Deepflex's P9000 tree, change it according to the 2016_P8000 and boom - should work. With that you can then of course also compile a working recovery to achieve root That's the theory at least

Is that so but we have yet to achive root and figure out what is the internal changes between those two? Maybe @Deepflux can lend a helping hand in this wish you could help out @BlueFlame4, cause I finally had the money to get this phone possible if you could look into the recovery issue on why it does not boot after flashing it aka bootloop at elephone logo

** Attempted to Port and it does not work. did repack twice.

Hey. Just saw this topic.
I made a better version of the recovery (but forgot to post it), which is actually able to flash roms. It now also mounts everything properly. Flashing root on stock rom works 100%. (only thing not working in ADB, I think).
I will upload it later.
Problem is, there are no roms (expect stock, which you flash using SP Flash Tools). You can't flash the roms that other have made for the old version of the phone. Doesn't work like that.

mention something about cyanogenmod from @Deepflex, could it be this ?
https://github.com/Deepflex/android_device_elephone_p8000/commits/master
hopefully we can get cyanogenmod working, possible if you release the recovery ? is it TWRP ?

I was talking about this. You have to adapt it to the P8000 and have to use a 3.18 kernel (+ M blobs) though.

there isnt any 3.18 kernel that was released right ? m blobs can be extracted question is why won't your cm13.1 work on the new elephone ? memory changes ? it is still same soc right or there is something different quite confused.

Bump

Question Are custom recoveries (TWRP) being worked on for this device?

I'm really keen on the hardware of this device and want to know if its likely that we'll get TWRP + Custom Roms for it?
Not a big fan of MIUI and Xiaomi have hinted that they won't support this device for that long

I know what the MUIPRO team has on our TWRP device + firmware, but for now their site is moving ((

Nice to see that they finally created a forum for the 12X! Overall I hope that TWRP and Custom Roms will come to the 12X sooner or later, I thinks it's still a new device (and not on the cheap side), so eventually developers will get their hands on it.

Chinese developers have made TWRP for 12x,But it is encrypted and needs special tools to flash.

This link seems broken. Are you using this TWRP? Is it working fine?
