Hello everyone,

I AM NOT GOING TO PROMISE ANYTHING AS I MAY NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO GET THIS THING FULLY FUNCTIONAL!
(DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP QUITE YET!)

When I get sms working I will be able to release!

3/14 11:40;
Replacing mms.apk maybe that will do it?
sms is still not working.. I changed out TelephonyProvider.apk and VpnServices.apk and PPP folder well see now!
Edit: Still not working??

3/14 11:20am;
So sms did not work with my init.rc tweaks! I found some other interesting stuff in a couple of the folders.. I replaced some apn settings with stock settings.. Maybe that will do the trick?

PS:
Some stuff is in Spanish because it is from a Mexico branded phone. Most things are in English except what the carrier added. Basic bloat-ware from vivo witch is the phone company.. My first release everything will be in there, and then my second release I will mess around with what apps are safe to remove/ bloat-ware..

3/13 2:35pm;
Root is fully working! I had to edit a couple of lines in the init.rc to rw properly.. :)
As far as the sms not working.. I have not checked it since I edited the init.rc.. Maybe it will work? I am running out of time at the moment. I will try to work on it more this week.

I got root to work with su now! The part is you have to enter it in manually through adb!
I am still trying to make it work properly. Maybe if I edit the int.rc I can see about adding it in through there?
SMS is still not working at all! :( I'm not to sure what's going on there? I will try to merge some files and see what happens...



There are a few devices that are vary similar to our device (Avail) and I found a stock rom from the zte v860 witch runs on 2.3.5! The kernel and rom is working for the base! I edited some files to gain root sort of and the rom boots and some stuff is working and some is not..

Rooting is not sticking at the moment!
This means no rooted apps will work yet!


Working:
I've pushed Play Store android market and it works great!
adb shell
G sensors
touch screen
menu, home, back buttons
wifi
internet
auto brightness
camera/ video recording
youtube videos
gmail
speaker
calls incoming and outgoing
I have to side load apps for them to work.
most things are working..
I have not tested everything just yet..

Not Working:
Default android market
sms

Note:
These are what I've tested so far..
I'm not sure about the rest as I will try to test as much as possible before even trying to release anything.
I will try to merge some files from stock to this and hopefully get some things up and running. My main thing is getting root to stick!

Note2:
This rom is running vary smooth and stable as is!
By default without deleting stock apps there is about 123MB of internal storage!
Notice the "H" in the notifications! That is by default as "H" to my understanding would be HSDPA witch would be almost 4G or it is 4G? I will run some speed tests and see what it shows from there.

Stay tuned....


WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
DO NOT FLASH THE ROM!
YOU WILL GET A BRICK DEVICE!
IT NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED TO WORK WITH OUR DEVICE!


The rom was found here:
I am not going to name the website as of yet because I do not want your phone to be bricked! If you find the website on your own PLEASE DO NOT POST IT HERE! It needs to be modified first!

Here is a screen shot from my device:
