Android 4.1.1. S128 v.3.5 mod - This is in many ways very different from the former ROM Android 4.1.1. S128 v.3.3!
Surprisingly very good version of the asian branch of ROM. I modified original chinesse ROM, threw everything in Chinese and added translated texts (multilanguage), used texts from my previous ROMs, corrected some errors and shortcomings. There is not translated everything in all languages, because most of them do not speak. ROM is ROOTed, GAPPS are installed from a separate file.
For me this is the best ROM for Lenovo P770. I did not find any significant errors it the ROM.
Languages support: Afrikaans, Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Chinese (simplified, traditional), Czech, Danish (Dansk), Netherlands (Dutch), English,, French, German (Deutsch), Greek, IsiZulu, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Latvian, Magyar, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Rumantsch, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, Svenska, Turkish, Tagalog, Tieng Viet, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Taiwan, … (some languages haven't translated all phrases)
Advantages / disadvantages:
- really very quick GPS fix on Mtk6577 (AGPS uses)
- phone sees more satellites than the other ROMs
- ROM runs very smoothly
- many detailed system settings (eg. data monitor data in a not. bar, …)
- LED notification works well for Email, Gmail, Facebook, Talk, Hangouts, etc..
- multilanguage support (quality depends on the language)
- separate ringtone for each SIM card
- built-in automatic brightness control works very well
- long battery life
- localization according to GSM cell triangulation works (mobile internet on SIM)
>> If you have in phone ROM nr.11, the new version nr.12 must be installed as a clean installation (upgrade is not possible). All newest versions could be installed as upgrade (don't forget install ROM and GAPPS together). <<<
