I have a regular Samsung Galaxy S. Well I did have until today, and I ventured through the installation of the insanity ROM. By regular, I mean very, very, very, ordinary.. I’ve not even root’ed by Galaxy. So to get to a nice stable working insanity Galaxy S, I performed the following steps :
What is insanity?
insanity ROM is a basic, small, light-weight ROM that focuses on core functionality and speed. It is <70 Mb of installation if your phone is already root’ed. It also supports tweaking the DPI so that you can have almost any resolution you like (depending on the screensize of your phone).
Safety Copy
As I’m fairly cautious I wanted to make sure I had a copy of my data, and had the ability to “go back” to the stock phone.
To get a copy of the data, I installed the Samsung USB drivers (my other machine uses Kies, but it’s not powered up right now). You can get the drivers part way down this page :
EZBase Downloads or the direct link:
Samsung USB Drivers (x64)
Samsung USB Drivers (x86)​
After installing the driver (no reboot required) I then go in to the phone settings and turn on USB debugging, and plug the phone in. It then appears as a Windows device. After that I copied all of the files from my device to a temporary place on TWO of my desktop computers!
Going back to the beginning .. well I hope I never have to, but if I do, I already downloaded the original ROM from : Stock Firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Thread - This is my base release : I9000BUJG2|2.1|2010 July
EZBase
This is the forum page for EZBase
Basically I followed in the instructions in the PDF which is located off that page. You download EZOdin, EZBase.pit, and the three files ending in MD5. One of those is 250Mb+ so it takes a bit of time. You then have to restart your phone in download mode… to do that power off the device, press the volume down button, the home button, and the power button.. then wait a few seconds for the splash screen to appear and let go of the buttons. The phone should go in to Download mode.
Once you’re there, run EZOdin, per the guide in the above link, and maybe 5 minutes later all will be rebooted. Your phone will already probably look considerably different! At this point you can plug the phone back in, and copy the insanity zip file to the /sd folder… ready for the next step.
During the installation of EZBase it might do a few quirky half reboots, that’s all fine, it’s installing a new kernel and mode, and it’s meant to behave a bit oddly whilst doing that !
Recovery mode to get the insanity ROM installed
You then have to restart your phone in Recovery Mode. This time it’s volume up, home, and the power on button.. for a few seconds, then when the logo appears, let go of the buttons. Once in recovery mode follow the screenshots on the insanity forum page for the steps to follow, and in a few minutes you’ll have a rebooted phone with insanity installed.
Tweaks / Post Installation
Unlike many ROMs out there the insanity ROM is very small – less than 70 Mb. So there are quite a few apps which aren’t installed any longer, but, you can get them back with nitrality. Here is a run down of the things that I’ve done so far :
I checked my gallery and my music – it’s all still there ?
Open nitrality (you might get warned about it taking super user access, just accept that). Go to UI Tweaks and then tick the box saying “Application scaling”. Old applications will now hopefully behave nicely.
Whilst still in the UI Tweaks section I changed Popup Animations and Transition Animations to fast, and checked the box next to Fancy Input Animations
Now in nitrality, open Applications (and wait a little bit if it is the first time you have run it). Scroll down to near the bottom and install the Voice Recorder. It’ll record all your incoming and outgoing phone calls by default !
Tweak what gets recorded.. because you might not be quite as paranoid as peoples say! Swipe the home screen downwards, and the phone will appear (or open Applications). Click Recording Settings, and then tick the boxes next to either incoming or outgoing, or whatever you prefer.
Whilst in the Recording Setting page consider turning off the “Disable increasing ringtone” by ticking the box at the top.
Customise swipe bindings by going into Preferences from the home screen, and click on Action Bindings. By default Swipe Down is set to “Open Dialer” as an example.
Install the Gmail addon if required, from the insanity page.. you have to restart (one more time) into Recovery Mode to do that … but you don’t have to do some complicated finger pressing any more. Hold the power button down as though you are going to switch it off, and choose Recovery in the list.
I then dragged and dropped the following to the home screen :
- Phone
- Gallery
- Camera
- Gmail (On launching Gmail I had to set up my account again but that’s fine.)
Next up for me, is to install :
My To Do List manager
My Flickr Uploader
And I want to test GPS, when I go outside (but it’s cold today)
Maybe now will be the time when I investigate some other apps that do those jobs!
I have to say there was a bit of a hairy moment or 5, when it appears that I was touched by the 50% on Cell Standby "bug".. I got that sorted thanks to Nitr8 and TrOjAnUK. I think it was a mixture of turning off HSPDA, and the new XXJVK modem suggested by TrOjAnUK, and, the in-and-out-of-air-plane-mode. Have a look at the battery post for more details.

Nicely done! Welcome to XDA

Great thanks for adding to the main trail on the insanity thread, I know there was lots of discussion on that thread about noobs and stuff (I'm not even as advanced as a noob yet!).

Thanks terranq.
I think it's important to "write down" what I did... otherwise by tomorrow I'll have forgotten almost completely.

The only fault I see with this is the fact you should really have added [HOWTO:] in the thread topic..
Might be worth asking a mod to do it if you are unable to edit it now.. apart from that, well done great work.. now go and enjoy your phone thats an order
TrOjAn

D'oh.. Okay, I've done it (Advanced Edit FTW)

That's an amazing way to enter and present oneself to a forum.
Many many thanks, I as many come from nitr8's thread, and I'm using your post to help me help my friends (so I don't have to carry on all the work and they also learn a bit).
Naturally you had to be friends with nitr8! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Mumps, much appreciated. If you use the thread, let me know if there are any adjustments that can/should be made, and I'll update it gladly.

Well done guy. Maybe you should hang out in the insanity thread and abuse people that claim to be new and are just being lazy

Nice; If I'd read through things here and on the main thread properly yesterday (now THERE's a tip!!!), I would have not worn a hole in my screen trying to sync my contacts!

About updating Insanity ROM
I am Sorry if my question is stupid but I didn't find answer from the forum...
I got a SGS with Insanity 0.6.5 version installed in it (previous owner did this). I would like to install the newest version. Since this already is rooted phone can I just follow the following instructions?:
1.Backup all your data, a CWM backup is nice to have
2.Copy Insanity ROM to internal SD Card
3.Reboot into Recovery Mode
4.Flash insanity via CWM ALL data will be wiped
5.Full Reboot - Wait for phone to start up
6.Reboot into Recovery Mode
7.Install Customizations via CWM - Battery Icon Mods & Apps
8.Reboot
Or do I need the install the EZBase etc?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi Surtinira,
Thanks ,1st tell one thing , did you partitioned your sd card to be able to use App2sd , if not then do it as follows
1) .. reboot in recovey
2) choose Miscellaneous option
3) choose partion sd card
4) Choose size for swap (128MB by default) and for app2sd any size of your like 512MB or above.
and proceed with the format , your data will remain instact (else for precuation do take a backup).
If you have partiopned also boot in recovery and do a wipe data / factory reset and reboot.
Now check if you have done as below procedure for the backup.
When you reboot , you 1st install Titanium backup . Open it
Press the left key => choose PREFERENCES ==>Restore backup to...(select ) ==> Internal storage
App2sd will do the rest. Do reboot the phone when you are done with backup and then check if it still shows same do let me know.
Also let me know how many application have you installed post installation.
So that it can give an idea ..as internal memory will be used surely as Sd partion is mapped to SDcard ext.
Hope this will help

Hi in version 2.0 , 9 lock-screens are added as well as if you want to add supercharger script simply copy the script to /system/etc/init.d/ and then either using adb or terminal within the phone browse to the mentioned location above and then type sh
superchargerscriptname , and follow steps .
all issue reported are fixed now.

Hey can you also look into adding shuffle all option to samsung stock music player and as well delete option in menu while playing song.That would be really great for me as I like default player but missing this.

Hi, thanks for the rom. So far the best I've tried. I have a small problem. After updating from 1.1 to 2.0, can not connect to Kies. This use to backup contacts.

Hi , kies issue is going with all the ROMS ( its basically driver isssue which normally gets fixed by un-installing and installing Driver from Kies --> tool menu) way to resolve this issue is to download "SMS and Contact Backup " app from markrt and backup all the contacts and sms as well . and later you can restore the backup from the sdcard and also from sdcard you can take the contact backup .

Hi ,
thanks for the suggestion , if you want to hv that feature you can install honeycomb 3.0 music player.
This will require a bit of coding to be done , which will consume lots of time and now a days I'm a bit busy with work . I will try to make these changes over it later

Best ROM I ever tried..!!!
This is straight up the best ROM i came across....simple, clean & fast.....and battery life AMAZING!!!!!
Performance?????........very very good!!!
I was able to successfully update to 2.0 from my stock ROM that i reverted to, because the previous ROM i was using wasn't stable at all.
Very good installation tutorial as well!!!!
however.. i found sum bugs,,which isn't really of issue....but could make your ROM flawless!!
1) Maps don't work, as well as Places app... i keep getting a no network error every time i try connecting!!..& sometimes it just keeps loading...and loading...& loading..... doesn't stop loading actually!!!
2) Call end tone doesn't work.... whenever a call ends you aren't notified by the tone... I kinda like knowing when the call ends!!
Like i said its not much of a problem, but thats the errors i found so far..!
Thanks again 7 keep up the excellent JOB!!!!!

Please help. What can I do for a greater battery life?? Compared to other ROM (Indroid) half. I would like to keep Vivek ROM is really cool, but this bothers me and it's pretty fundamental problem. : Zmatený:

[ROM]We're Back! [01/17/12] 3.2.1 Honeylicious Flash Glass HC Stock Based Kernel

Honeylicious 3.2.1 Flash Glass​
Now that the Holidays are over, and worked has slowed down somewhat, I have more time to spend with the thread.
Honeylicious was created for myself, by myself so I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's work.
I got sick of the "stick figure UI" that Google continues to produce, so what you'll see here is something more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so if it doesn't please you, you can download
The UI has had a "glass" filter applied through Photoshop to give it a "glassy" finish.
You won't see any custom kernels here, nor revision updates, as these are all tried, tested, and true final releases.
What you will find is one of the fastest, smoothest, most dependable, and stable stock kernel based ROMs out anywhere for the Acer Iconia A500.!
Please read the "Install Instructions" carefully, and/or watch the Video Tutorial on how to flash correctly.
The 3.2.1 Youtube Fix is included in this Rom thanks to Civato.
Special thanks to Civato @ XDA for all his help in getting the camera working properly with this ROM, for the original apks he had given me, which have been changed immensely since that time, although there are a few png files that still remain the same, and all the other help and inspiration he has provided.
When you purchase a new automobile, it doesn't come with free driving lessons, neither does Android, and this ROM doesn't either. There are a few things you'll need to know before flashing a ROM.
If you're unsure of what you need to do, or simply can't follow the explicit directions in the "Install Instructions" (video included), take this link first to get you started. Click Here for the wealth of information in the A500 Wiki.
If you've previously flashed another one of Thor's ROMs with his custom kernel that he refuses to release the source code for, you may have problems flashing other ROMs until you COMPLETELY WIPE AND FORMAT YOUR SDCard. My personal opinion on this matter is, "if you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding it?"
DO NOT USE ANY MODS FROM ANY OTHER VERSION OF HONEYLICIOUS AS YOU WILL BE MODIFYING YOUR SYSTEMUI.APK, AND FRAMEWORK-RES.APK WITH AN INCORRECT VERSION AND YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS!
Now, onto the ROM:
It's built on Stock PB G100W 4.010.05_COM_GEN1 found HERE: Stock base (stock kernel), Honeylicious sweet, rooted, tweaked for speed and stability, superuser and Busybox installed, and Bootloader.blob removed, that you've come to know for it's rock solid dependability, stability, and the most speed you can eek out of a stock based ROM, with an Icey Glass Finish!
What Works:
EVERYTHING!
What Doesn't Work:
NOTHING!
This ROM has had all of the useless stock apps that are constantly in "Running Services" ripped out, to give extra battery life, as well as speed. You'll notice in the "Running Apps Settings" screen shot that only two other apps are running (besides "Settings", and "Screen Shot It" which were needed to take the screen shot).
Apps Ripped Out:
Game Loft
Link to Facebook
Music
Nemo Player
Social Jogger
Sound Hound
Zineo
Replace Ripped out Glass App Pack HERE:All apps in one zip file (unzip main file to find individual apps in their own CWM Flashable zip files). So you can add in whatever you like to slow your system down once again.
What Extra Apps are included:
System Apps Added
Polaris Office
Extra Data Apps Added: (you may uninstall through "Settings", "Applications", "Manage Applications").
Avast Android Mobile Security (you need to open it once in applications to setup your preferences for it to run)
SDRescan
AdFree
HD File Explorer
HD BackGammon
HD Solitaire
HD Spades
Bluetooth File Transfer
Dolphin HD Browser
Fancy Widgets (free version)
Shake Calculator
Adobe Flash 11.1
Google Voice
Fancy Widgets has a battery meter included in the Weather/Clock widget. Go into Fancy Widget settings, "clock settings", "extra information", and tick "show battery level" for 1% increment battery levels. Fancy Widgets is the Weather/Clock widget shown in the screen shots, both weather and clock are "MIUI Inspired" style selected in "appearance" settings.
What's Different:
Ice Blue Glass Themed Rom
Five Extra Ice Blue Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
Five Extra Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
ICS Fonts
ICS Clocks
GPS Tweaks have been added to ensure rapid GPS Lock!
Latest Version of Superuser, and binaries.
All the goodness that 3.2.1 brings with it including the Newest Market. As you can see from the running applications Screen Shot there are only two running apps (aside from "settings", and "ScreenShotIt" which needed to be running to take the screen shot.
If you choose not to follow the explicit Install Instructions, not only do you do so at your own risk, I don't want to hear any whining about ANYTHING not working correctly, and post your questions HERE!
This ROM has been tested EXTENSIVELY with absolutely no problems or glitches whatsoever (hence "final release").
Normal disclaimer about how flashing a rom can be dangerous for your Tablet, blah, blah, blah. Please always perform a backup before flashing this ROM. If you some how screw the pooch, consider it "Pilot Error", and I am not responsible.
If you want to flash another kernel with this ROM, you do so at your own risk. I have no idea who's kernel will work with this ROM. If you do choose to flash a custom kernel with this ROM, please direct all questions regarding problems you are experiencing in the thread that you got your kernel from, as they will not be answered here.
If you are having problems with certain apps, remember this is a Stock Based Rom, so please direct your questions regarding said app to the developer of the app.
I took much of my own time and effort building this ROM, typing up instructions, and creating the install video. If you ask a question in this thread that has OBVIOUSLY already been answered in this OP, the only reply you will receive from me is this:

@kjy2010 - First class job of presentation. I refuse to believe that anybody can screw up flashing your ROM after your ultra clear directions. I'm currently running Kekinash's 3.2 near stock rom but I like the look of your effort and I will flash it to my A500 as soon as I've got a spare minute. Once more thank you.

Thank you.
Post back after install, and let us know what you think!
Edit: I've seen some of your boot animations. If you'd care to create a custom animation for this ROM, I'd be more than happy to give you credit for it.

You're very kind I'll give it some thought. I did just complete a small ICS anim, more for fun than anything else but you might like to look at it. I won't bother you by attaching it here but my good friend JaeKar99 has just added a preview gif of my anim to my post which is on the last page of the thread "Publish your A500 Boot Anims......." in the Themes & Apps section.

OP - Thought I'd throw this one at you, it's only a re-hash of what I did before but more specific to your rom. I have to admit that I don't have a single ounce of artistic ability in my body so what you get from me is always pretty simple and uncomplicated. I fear that it might not be "high tech" enough for your needs but worse case it costs neither of us anything and may give you some ideas.
Latest thought.....Should it be of interest to you then the "speed" and "display period" could easily be adjusted to your requirements.

ah, nice work kjy.
No problem on taking it apart and giving it your own twist.
That is why it is there for.
Don't forget it is BigDX is the one that did start this Modding,I changed an modded the ICS stuff into it so it worked on the A500.
I also got settings icones but didn't use them because I think it makes the settings menu out of balance.
If you want some stuff let me know.

3g USB
Hi all, I'm newbie with Iconia A500, I have 16gb wi-fi model, and I want to know if this rom supports 3g USB modem?
I want to know too if can I backup the original ROM before personalize my tablet for don't lose warranty and to recover them if necessary?
Thanks

Remove apps before flash
hi, kjy2010,
As you know, I'm very proud of your previous ROM, which I've flashed before. As I have Quickoffice installed, could be a problem if I remove the Polaris Office apk within the zip file (without winzipping it), before flashing this ROM?
Thanks!

First, you have to have root access, and CWM installed to flash a ROM. There are plenty of threads in this forum on the subject, please use the search function. They will guide you through root, CWM, and backup.
Second, some people have reported success using Civato's 3gmodem patch located in his thread.
Please take these other questions to the appropriate threads, not here

Fresh install after following the instructions above. The only apps i have installed from the Market are Busybox and Busybox Pro.
When I try to install Busybox it tells me 'There seems to be a problem with some of the utilities needed to install busybox'. Any suggestions anyone?

There are a few different versions of busybox and pro in the market, which one did you install?

Yeah I now see that STEricson's version is still broken. Ran with JRummy16 and is working correctly now.

Its not just the boot loader that is needed it is the expanded system partition that is also. Your best bet is to NVFlash the package in the OP. Not only will it set your device into the 1.2bl but it will expand your system partition so it can load the updated firmware.

So who's tried this out and how did it work?

No issues here. It worked perfectly the first time. I had already nvflashed the linked file, so I re-formatted the internal sdcard per the instructions then flashed the ROM.
nobe1976, you are a magician. THANK YOU.
My tablet performs very well now, with an occasional hiccup. It sometimes becomes unresponsive temporarily when I'm doing a lot. For example, from the Play Store, I had about 5 apps queued up to download/install. While that was going, it would go unresponsive for sometimes 10-15 seconds.

To resize just open ES Explorer and give it Root permmisions and change in the build.prop the ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to 120 then reboot. No need to add Root Explore when ES will do everything and more without adds.
Updated OP with a 120 density version.

I keep getting stuck on the 3 birds loop. the 3 birds appear, then the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and then the birds reappear. this happens a couple of times then it gets stuck on the birds.
i had the same issue on all ICS roms as well. Flashback HC rom works flawless every time so i have to revert back to it.
Please suggest a solution. i'd love to try out JB on my tab.

Give me the day and I will pm you with something to try out that has gotten me out of a jam a time or two. Have work today and won't have any computer time till later this afternoon.

Possible Bug Report: On my tab, the sound will not switch to my BT headphones. They paired correctly, and I have performed multiple iterations of rebooting, switching BT on/off, etc...no success thus far.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Otherwise, this is a thing of beauty.

If this is based on the Team DRH Dirty Bean - it doesn't work there either. Last time I saw this issue was when the "phone" apps were not installed as part of the selected apps on ICS - it pairs but no BT audio.

(Guided) LeTV LeEco Le 1 Pro (US Version) X800 TWRP Recovery, Root

The LeTV LeEco Le 1 Pro is an excellent phone that comes at a very low price. Some retailers are selling the phone for approx. £150. However, the phone does come with a few problems.
The phone comes bundled with an old YouTube app which refuses to update to the latest version. The phone has malware where apps are installed in the background and ads are served in the Chrome browser.
At the time of writing there was no official ROM available. Now a official ROM has been released. It can be found in this post. Installing the official ROM is the easiest way to fix the malware and app problems with the phone.
The TrustGo App from the Google Play store pointed out that the Ant Keyboard bundled app contained the malware. The YouTube problem can be fixed by uninstalling the bundled YouTube and installing the latest YouTube from the Google Play Store.
The phone had to be rooted to remove the YouTube and the malware app Ant Keyboard.
The following instructions will root the LeTV Le 1 Pro USA version only. However, rooting can brick your phone, so if you do go ahead it will be your responsiblity. Rooting also invalidates the warranty of the phone. You will also be able to unroot your phone at a later date and reinstate your warranty.
The following assumes that you are using Windows 10.
Rooting the LeTV Le 1 Pro USA Version
Install TWRP
TWRP will allow to root the phone. First it needs to be installed.
In order to install TWRP, you need to connect the phone to the PC
Lets prepare the PC before we connect it
Install Java JDK 8 using Chocolatey
Open an administrator command prompt
Type cmd in the search, right click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
Copy and paste the following code into the administrative command prompt window to install chocolately
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
Install and configure JDK 8 by pasting the following code into the administrative command prompt window.choco install jdk8
Download, install and configure android studio using the defaults in the setup
Download Android Studio
Launch setup and accept the defaults
In the final screen select lanuch Android Studio and then finish
Choose the configure dropdown and then choose SDK manager
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the SDK manager, check the Google USB Driver from the SDK Tools tab and choose OK
android sdk manager google usb driver
Close the administrative command prompt and then open a new administrative command prompt and type adb. You should see the adb command returning help. This means that adb driver is installed and ready to go.
Download the latest version of TWRP onto the PC using this link
Rename the downloaded file to recovery.img
Now it is time to prepare the phone before we connect it to our already prepared PC. If your phone does not boot into android then you can skip the whole of this #4 section and move on to #5 (TWRP) section below.
Go to settings and then about on your phone. Unlock developer options by touching the build number several times.
Android : Settings -> About
Go to settings, developer options and enable USB debugging
http://i0.wp.com/showtop.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Screenshot_2016-07-11-14-22-04.jpg?resize=900%2C1600[IMG/]
Android enable USB debugging
In the notification bar click on touch for USB options and ensure that MTP is selected
[IMG]http://i1.wp.com/showtop.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Screenshot_2016-07-11-15-16-45.jpg?resize=900%2C1600
Android USB Options
Connect the phone to the PC
In an administrative prompt check the phone is connected correctly by typing
adb devices
You should see a device under adb devices
Download SuperSU and use the file manager to put in the root directory of the phone
Lets flash TWRP into the phone. You should not lose any data, but if you have data on the phone you should make a backup just in case.
We need to boot into fastboot. On the PC, open an administrative command prompt and type
adb reboot bootloader
If your device does not boot into android, you can go into fastboot by switching off your phone, hold the down volume key and then press the power button.
Once in fastboot you should see a small picture of a penguin in the middle of the screen. To check that the phone is connected, in the administrative command prompt type
fastboot devices
You should see your device listed
In the administrative command prompt make sure you are in the directory of the recovery.img file and type the following
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once the recovery is flashed type the following and hold the up volume key to restart in recovery
fastboot reboot
You should now be in TWRP. In TWRP there may be an option advanced or settings to install SuperSU. If the option is not there use install to install SuperSU (downloaded earlier) from the root of the phone storage.
Once installed you can reboot into android and following the instructions in the SuperSU app.
Once the installation is complete download the RootChecker app from the Google Play store and check if the device has been rooted.
Fixing the problems with YouTube and removing the malware
Install Easy Uninstaller, Stubborn Trojan Killer and Malwarebytes Anti-Virus from the Google Play Store.
Uninstall YouTube and Ant Keyboard. I uninstalled Cantonese Keyboard Language and Mii Browser as well as I was not using these. If you start getting errors, simply reboot your device.
Download and install the YouTube app from the Google Play Store.
Run the Stubborn Trojan Killer and remove any found trojans.
Run the Malwarebytes Anti-Virus and remove any found viruses. Run the privacy scanner and follow the recommendations.
Once you have successfully completed the above steps then your device should be malware free and completely usable.

Very nice job. Newbies friendly rooting guide. I think you must add another option in the poll : CM12.1 cooked by Betahydri. It's a fully functional ROM (only IR remote and DT2W don't work yet) for everyday use.

Please also provide the links to the TWRP and the Super SU. Thanks

If you see CE0560 In the back of the phone, that means you have the international version.
For the TWRP, download Le1Pro_US_TWRP_3.0.2-0_CUOCO92.7z
For Root, download SuperSu-V2.76

Thank you very much. Mine does have that on the rear. This is my second le1 pro the first I hate bricked trying to root it and install recovery. So I have been scared to try this one without knowing which model it is. Do you know if there is a custom ROM or even better asop or CM room available for the international version.
Thanks for your help.

You can fix your first bricked phone from HERE.
To be honest, I have tried only two Roms
1- Clean Stock Rom, it's clean of all malwares and virus that came with the Chinese resellers Rom, its very stable, good battery life. only the double tape to wake up & color mod doesn't work, but easy to fix HERE, (IMPORTANT you need to have Stock recovery to flash the Clean Rom or to modify a file in the Zip archive of the Rom to work with TWRP).
2- CM12.1 ROM by BetaHydri, a great Rom very stable only Ir Blaster doesn't work for now. The best choice so far.
3- Other Roms CUOCO92 5.5.014S but I have never used it.

Thank you so much, worked a treat.
Now I have TWRP, CM and super su.
Thanks for all your efforts.

You should also try betahydri CM 12.1 I have it on my phone for about 3 months and runs great , no bugs , and the battery performance is the same.

Hi.
After brick I've rescued my letv le1 x800 Pro US and I flash Cuoco92 rom. I used this rom and it works very fine. XD XD

Maybe I am not looking well enough, but I did not see the TWRP link in your post.
Next to that I installed the Android Studio. But the SDK tabs in the SDK section are disabled with me. It also says that "Android SDK location should not contain whitespace, as this can cause problems with the NDK tool" as a warning. Could this be related to the fact that the tabs are disabled?

the only way to root this phone is by cuocco92 method, there is no other way
