UPDATED September 20, 2013!![ROM]Elektricity ROM (703C)

[elektrik]

elektrik, have you considered changing your base rom to the ONDA v610w Fashion's latest? It has built in Google Play support and Adobe Flash, which saves trying to hack the support back in. I found that although the LiquidLimez script would get Play running, the Google Calendar wouldn't sync with Google. It also seems to be a much more responsive rom than the stock Polaroid one.

Are you referring to the JB base or the ICS? I ask because when I loaded the ICS base on my PMID701C I noticed the stock ROM from Polaroid was *much* faster, however I'm certainly willing to revisit as I was just learning how to unravel the ROM in the first place and may have mixed up my experiences....

It's an ICS base, 4.0.4. I guess it must vary on hw revision and other factors, but the last ICS from Polaroid, while better than the original 701i 13 version my tab came with, was still painfully slow. The ONDA also seems to be a more polished FW. On the Polaroid FW, I was running into compatibility issues with games force closing. The same game on ONDA fw works without issues. ie. Angry Birds Star Wars.

Ok, I'll consider it and see if I can play with it a bit. I haven't run any speed tests and I'd prefer to have some people test, so it sounds like you just volunteered to be a guinea pig :-)

well being a 13 leaves me out of testing since my 701 is the a10 model

what makes u think I'm doing the 701i 13 model first? ;-) i am downloading thr one that works for the 701c to see if what he says is true. THEN if it's faster i'll look at the 701i 13

LOL, I think tomorrow I will push version 3 to my tab, but before doing that I'll take an Antutu Benchmark for version 2, then I'll do one for version 3, and see how they compare..

ok cool! then when/if I go to the Onda firmware you can do another one to comprae to THAT one.

Score I got was 4540, but that was with a used version 2 of your ROM, fixing to push version 3 over in a few minutes...According to the app the score beats the Samsung Galaxy S

Just tested V3 here are some stats,
Total Score 4694
CPU score 854
GPU score 2759
Ram score 603
I/O score 478
Now from the detailed report:
CPU Integer 695
CPU Float-point 159
2d graphics 409
3d graphics 2350
database IO 210

I'm going to do a fresh install of v2 and test it, then we can see what the changes did...If I can find the stock 4.0 img laying around I might give that a try too

Clean Version 2 test
Total Score 4523
CPU 819
GPU 2724
RAM 452
IO 528
cpu integer 656
cpu float-point 163
2d graphics 425
3d graphics 2299
Database IO 240

So the differences from v2 to v3
Total score +171
CPU +35
GPU +35
RAM +151
IO -50
cpu integer +39
cpu float-point -4
2d graphics -16
3d graphics +51
Database IO -30
I have an img titled 701C_ICS which I think is shawns original 4.0 ROM and 1 named 701C_ICS_Unbloated which I think is Elektric's first attempt, I'll try them both

The results from the ROM I'm pretty sure was Shawn's
Total Score 4138
CPU score 823
GPU score 2348
Ram score 540
I/O score 427
CPU Integer 665
CPU Float-point 158
2d graphics 424
3d graphics 1924
database IO 220

Strange and interesting that the IO went DOWN between versions (I'll have to take a look at my I/O tweaks)...

[jtintle]

Ok this is the scores for the img named 701C_ICS_Unbloated, which I believe is Elektric's unbloated stock rom.

Total Score 4855
CPU score 870
GPU score 2892
Ram score 612
I/O score 481
CPU Integer 706
CPU Float-point 164
2d graphics 412
3d graphics 2480
database IO 240

This one is really weird, everything is better....

Just a quick question... I read the first few posts, and skimmed the rest, but didn't see any mention of upgrade flashing. What I mean is, if I just flashed Elektricity v0.2 ,and wanted to flash v0.3, will it do a complete wipe or will it maintain my apps and settings? That is, if I flash using the Polaroid Live Suite and substitute the Elektricity image.
Awesome ROM, and ridiculous improvement over stock!

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this was addressed somewhere and I missed it.

It will whipe all your apps. But if you use titanium backup, I believe you can backup your apps to the external sd card and reinstall them pretty quickly, after you flash

Hey E, with v3, I've been experiencing alot of acore shutdowns, especially when using G+. Acore has to do with contacts, did you pull the contacts app out of your ROM?

if I did it wasn't intentionally.....

Backup?

I have a 701C also and love it! I'm excited to try out your rom, so I've downloaded it. Before I flash it over I wanted to ask if you know of a way to backup my current rom? I'm going to first install Titanium backup and try to get a copy of the apps, but I'd also like a flashable backup.

Thanks for the help.

if you're looking to backup the DATA from your ROM, titanium backup works just fine. if you're backing up the ENTIRE ROM....well, I'm not aure why you'd do that since southern telecom has a stock image....?
