Root PAC ROM 5.1 for Zte Zmax devices

Ethanbanker2428 · Jun 20, 2015

OK so I have decided I will take the task of porting the PAC ROM to our devices or actually just keeping it updated and fixing bugs.

PLEASE READ EVETYTHING HERE!!!!!

All credit goes to @hroark13 and I ask that if you want to donate put it to him. In the next few days I will open source it(if thats okay with @hroark13) and I will try to make this as solid as possible. I'm still new to this so any help would be appreciated. Netlfix is still broken so just flash the fix. I'll incorporate it with other fixes later.

ORIGINAL DEV: @hroark13
Devs:me

Please tell me if you would like to help and I'll add you now for what needs to be fixed.
So far it seems solid. It has all the fixes cm12.1 rc3 had but there is a few things

New update features: deodexed!!!! Now supports xposed and new boot animation. @hroark13 updated the build which fixed a few issue with settings not showing up so a few new features.Netflix fix is built in.

1.Stability. I haven't got any crashes but still everything can be more stable

2. Boot switcher have been made thanks to @Epico check the bottom for downloads and I will keep them updated

3.last is more features. What would you guys like to see?

And Please report all bugs and really test it out. My email is ethanbanker2428@gmail.com email me if you would like to help. Or have questions. Or post here. Try to grab bug reports too. Thanks guys

EDITTTTTT: so it may just be me but flashing the supersu zip in recovery made all things go to hell. Don't do it. I reccomend using the app just to be safe and hit install via twrp

I can make the boot switchers: How to make bootswitchers you ask?
-Go grab Masterchief87's ZIPs if you haven't
-Using Winrar, Replace the boot.img from the zip to the one in your Pac ROM on both zips.
!EXTRACTING THEM AND THEN REZIPING THEM MAKES THEM UNFLASHABLE!
-Rename to reduce confusion. Please remember to be careful and pay attention as you do this
-Finally, Generate an md5 for users to be able to verify their download was not corrupted.

Also remember to generate new boot switcher zips for every update or modification made to the boot.img

I am gonna make you a new build, I figured out how to build it correctly

it will take a while

I will make sure it is NOT Odexed for you
and it should have a PAC boot ani

I will give you the link when it is done in like 2 hours

Can you make some? If not I can but I think I have bigger issues. @hroark13 said he'd rebuild the ROM but it may take a while because I have the strange suspicion it is missing a few things.

Here are the Zips for r/w for this ROM at the moment. If you update ROM, please create new zips.

OK thanks. I'm kinda confused on your instructions though. We only need the boot.IMG from the PAC rom?

Yes, Every new build you create, pull the boot.img from that build and replace it on the zips.

Ethanbanker2428 · Jun 21, 2015

OK guys well I'm using this as my daily driver and it seems kinda laggy. Can anyone else confirm? Maybe I can fix it. It seems to be the keyboard for me

Just wondering how did you build it before? What did you do differently now

hroark13 · Jun 21, 2015

well before I just used the command that I used to build cm12.1
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch cm_draconis-userdebug

and that built the ROM but it did not create a zip files, so I had to take the system folder and add it to a zip

so now I am using the PAC build script
./build-pac.sh draconis

this produces a zip file and includes other make files

I had to mod some of the files in my tree, and add make this file
vendor/pac/products/pac_draconis.mk

does that make sense to you?

Yea it actually does. Thanks once again for doing this. But i see how the other way is uncleaner and this way is purer. Thanks for explaining and sorry to ask so much of you I know you are probably busy. I think it needs to be deodexed because someone on the xposed thread on xda said it doesn't support odexed roms

Hey just checked and its not a big deal but I don't think the Netflix fix made it into the PAC update. I can just flash it but it may not have made it into the rc3. Just letting you know

hroark13 · Jun 21, 2015

how did you determine this ?

YouTube kept glitching out and having errors and I remember the Netflix fix fixed this. So I downloaded Netflix and it loaded forever
