ZTE Roamer [Avail / Merit] Z990/G

Stayboogy v2.0c



STAYBOOGY@GITHUB



FEATURES:

the most stable kernel known to date for the device with more features to come

perfect proximity sensor wake lock--even better than the oe system--kernel level fix

cpu overclocked to 1Ghz--extremely experimental but it has been done

gps has been improved 200% and for most in north america lock should acquire within seconds on first maps operation

finally finished theming--no more orange anywhere

support for custom themes

support custom cpu settings


full video and audio hardware acceleration--not present before--video problems should be fixed entirely

all the features of cyanogenmod without the annoyances

google play and framework are included--only two gapps--install what you want from the store immediately

updated audio files from later cm builds

stayboogy snob style approved!!!




UP UNTIL NOW I HAVE NEVER ASKED FOR DONATIONS, BUT IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO DONATE SOMETHING FOR THE COUNTLESS HOURS I HAVE PUT INTO ALL MY WORK FOR THIS DEVICE, A DEVICE STILL AVAILABLE BY STRAIGHT TALK BTW AND SUPER POWERFUL FOR ITS LOW SPECS THANKS TO MY IMPROVEMENTS... I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

HOW TO INSTALL



READ READ READ




1) download and install the latest recovery for the device:

http://androidforums.com/threads/st...-roamer-avail-merit-new-build-options.913789/

2) backup your current rom


3) i suggest you backup your own apn settings to restore at first boot--this is your responsibility not mine--this will prevent any mobile data issues and help with even faster gps acquisition


4) to install, i suggest not only doing factory reset in recovery, but also formatting system, cache, and data using the new format menu in my latest recovery release; then with the package on your sdcard, install it from the zip installation menu


5) install will be fairly fast because the new recovery is lightning fast, reboot


6) if after several the minutes the phone has not booted, reboot it by holding power + volume up


7) if touchscreen does not respond, reboot the phone, once rebooted lower the max cpu frequency in settings--above 800 causes touchscreen / gpu interference (just a warning, mostly works fine but occasionally a problem may arise; mileage will vary)


8) enjoy and press thanks and consider donating

Nice job stayboogy! I updated the settings app to look like CM9 and added switches for my own personal use. I figured I would share if anyone is interested, hope you don't mind. ***NOTE*** This is not a flashable zip, you will have to use adb or root file explorer to overwrite original apps. Don't forget to change permissions to 0644!
