    leolasROM-qx1-1.5 (30-10-2013)

    After some delays, I want to share my new rom. 1.5, I did some roms before this one and after my last published rom, but I didn’t published them becausae they only had little improvement about the last one.
    This one is better for me than the previous one, and the main difference is that I got a workaround to make wifi work on reboot, now the wifi module can be loaded or unloaded all the times you want, and you can reboot the stick and got wifi working. A part of the workaround in kernel and the other part is in Petrus Reboot.apk

    Petrus made a Reboot.apk that power off wifi before reboot or power off the stick, you need to use this apk to reboot the stick, if not you will get a bootloop and you need to power off the device to break it. More info here. Thanks a lot to Petrus for the apk and to thafath for give me some new info (we never stop to learn )

    Features:
    -Workaround to make wifi work on reboot.
    -A lot of kernels with overclock and without it, 720p and 1080p. (thanks to phjanderson for marvin tool, it makes a lot easier to make a bucnh of kernels in a row.
    -Vsinc video fix in all the kernels.(Thanks to sam321 and phjanderson)
    -Rooted and SuperSU installed.
    -Full Busybox installed. To have some linux console functionality from android.
    -Some apps are now installed like user app instead of system app, if you don’t use them you can erase them easy. Those apps installed by default are:
    -SuperSu. To manage root in your device.
    -Reboot.apk by Petrus, with this app you can power off the stick, reboot to recovery or bootloader or simply do a normal reboot. Thanks a lot to him. reboot.apk by Petrus
    -Terminal emulator: With this you can use a command shell.
    -Chrome and Firefox.
    -Null imput keyboard. Disabled by default. If you use a remote keyboard it will be very useful.
    -AdAway. An app that block most of the advertising.
    -Gmail.
    -Google search and google calendar.
    -Fancy widget.
    -Rockchip explorer.
    -RKGameControl.
    -Youtube.
    -Wifidisplay
    If you don’t want some of them, only erase them from settings/app. All of them are user apps.
    -flash_image and dump_image binary. Flash img files or backup your system look here for more info
    - cwm installed in the very first boot automatically. So you will have a very functional recovery with backup and install roms in a easy way.
    - Full init.d support. with this you can run some scripts at start-up. Thanks to Finless and 900Supersport they give me the instructions to make it work.

    Some functionalities that are not tested (I have not the equip to test them):
    -HDMI passthrough
    -Bluetooth

    UPDATED TO 1.5A.
    -BUG IN BUSYBOX SYMLINKS FIXED.
    -Some build.prop changes.

    ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE 1.5 INSTALLED: DOWNLOAD http://www.freak-tab.de/leolas/QX1/l....5a-update.zip
    Download it, reboot to cwm recovery (you can use Reboot.apk by Petrus to do this), and install the file from cwm. NO NEED WIPE DATA. Only install zip from sdcard and select leolas-qx1-1.5a-update.zip, the reboot the stick.


    There is 2 ways to install the rom:

    Using cwm recovery.


    If you have cwm installed then you need to download: http://www.freak-tab.de/leolas/QX1/l...l-QX1-1.5a.zip
    unzip it and you got 2 files:
    leolasROM-qx1-1.5.zip: this is the cwm zip, to install it from recovery. It comes with a kernel only overclocked in ram, 720p and wifi workaround, if you want other kernel look at:
    kernel_leolas_qx1.zip: Inside this zip are a lot of kernels, with different overclock or not, 1080p or 720p, wifi workaround or not, each img file has a txt file explaining the features of each kernel.
    Select one of them, rename it to kernel.img and add to leolasROM-qx1-1.5.zip or flash it latter using the instructions in:http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...stallable-zips

    Once you have the cwm zip prepared:
    Enter in cwm recovery.
    Select wipe data/factory reset and yes.
    Select mount and storage.
    Select format boot and yes.
    Select format system and yes.
    Select format kernel and yes.
    Select Go back.
    Select install zip from sdcard.
    Select leolasROM-QX1-1.5.zip depending where you copied it in internal or external sdcard.
    Reboot the stick.
    Enjoy the rom.


    Using rkandroidtool 1.37.

    This way will erase your internal sdcard. so make a backup before flash it.

    Download: http://www.freak-tab.de/leolas/QX1/leolas-QX1-1.5a.zip
    Unzip it.
    Run rkandroidtool.exe
    disconnect from PSU the stick, push the reset button and while it is pressed connect the microusb to the OTG port:
    Look at this image.



    1. Check that Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb appears
    2. Erase IDB
    3. Select the amount of nand you want to install apps. (Default 2Gb and recommended )
    4. Select the kernel .img you want to flash, with each kernel there is a .txt explaining the kernel features.
    5. Run and wait until the process finish, the stick will reboot, I suggest you wait a few minutes (5 or so) before unplug it from the microusb.
    6. Enjoy the rom

    After install the rom.

    In both options, the first boot will last some time, please wait patiently, it will not last more than 10 minutes (usually only a few, 2 or 3)
    On the first boot it will install automatically some apps and a new cwm recovery so wait 5 minutes or so until it install all. (All this announced times are in the worst case, usually in 3-4 minutes the whole process will be finished )

    I checked it for a few days before publish it, but for sure that there are improvements, bugs to solve or request that you will ask, like gameloft fix, I am working on it, but when I got it I will launch a cwm zip to fix it.
    Please feedback and I will try to solve the demands.

    Remember that flashing a rom always is a little risk. Do it under your responsibility, I will try to help if you brick your device, I never got great problems flashing any roms, but you must know that

    All corrections and suggestions are welcome. I hope you enjoy this rom.

    Request or bugs to solve.

    Here I will try to post your request or bugs you report and I will try to solve them.

    1. Problem with busybox, uploading 1.5a with this bug corrected and a cwm.zip to solve it if you have the rom installed.

    2. Adding gameloft fix, please I need a tester, PM me if you have any gameloft game that crashed with this rom, and I will give you a zip to install from cwm, once we check it works well I will update the whole rom and give all people who has the rom installed a zip to install from cwm.

      Post install recomendations.

      Once you have your most used apps and your stick fully configured, make a nandroid backup from cwm. With it you will can to restore it at that state in 5 minutes
      Select your resolution in settings screen.
      In Settings/language and input enable NullKeyboard if you use a keyboard, and the pop-up keyboard will not appears.
      I suggest you install some apps, very useful for me:
      Es explorer: For me is the most complete root file manager.
      Rom toolbox little: to backup your installed apps and a lot of of fine tunning your system. Use with caution if you dont know what some options do.


      Under construction. If you want to suggest something, please do it

          Waiting for your report
          I tested it all I can, but not all people use their stcks in the same way. So I want all feedback that people can do, thanks.

          Next steep is Linux working in this stick, I thought the android procces was to be short, but the WiFi on reboot take a very long time to be fixed.

              thank you so much for your hard work!
              what about the 1080p boot image? should we take it from finless rom and insert to your zip?

                Using both ways to flash it you can select the kernel, please read the first post carefully. There a lot of kernels to choose, 1080p or 720p, with or without overclock, and with or without the WiFi workaround.

                    as mentioned in Finless Rom thread :
                    "9) I also supply the needed 720 and 1080 boot.img's. By default the flash tool is set to boot720.img"
                    Thats why i asked , when i want to use your 1080 kernel, the boot.img should be 1080 as well, and it is not in your rom or kernels . So, should we use the same 1080p boot.img that Bob attached to his rom?

                      If you dont use a splash screen in boot.img (i never use it in my roms) you don't need to make 2 boot.img for 720p and 1080p, so the boot.img is the same for both kernel

                          Silly question, but did you fill in the right password (and made sure capslock etc) isn't on?

                              I tested it in my home network with WPA2 encryption and works well. Be absolutely sure that you choose your password right and you don't have mac restrictions in your router.

                              EDIT: And avoid strange symbols in your wifi password, some android devices are not comfortable with them.
