[CUSTOM ROM] Melting Rocks III for Tecno A+ and A2

Without too much talk, I give you version III. Remember, I am irresponsible.
This is an OS update so for all intents an purposes it would be like stock Samsung.

1) Download Melting Rocks III.zip File Here for A+ and here for A2
2) Put into External/Internal SD Card
3) Go To CMW Recovery
4) Wipe Data
5) Take a deep breath
6) Wipe System
7) Wipe Dalvik Cache
8) Select Install From SD (Internal or External)
9) Select Melting Rocks.zip And Select YES
10) select OK

11) Reboot Your System
12) Enjoy

  2. Beautiful looking ROM but buggy. WIFI connects but is grayed out (Doesn't transmit data). Rebooting doesn't solve the problem. Switched back to the stock ROM and WIFI worked well. Also tried switching keyboards while using Melting Rocks ROM and it refused to select the new keyboard until I rebooted. Finally, on first boot, 3G mobile data didn't work but worked after a reboot. I didn't test the ROM beyond that as WIFI connectivity was important for me.

    1. Wifi works just fine. The rom is tested before posting.

  3. Payne i appreciate your works on those roms.. But I suggest you stick with the tecnos boot logo instead of the Samsung boot logo.... It's some how to bring outtecno phone with a Samsung boot logo... It makes it look as if one is it proud of the phone
    Still I really appreciate your works..... More grease to your elbow

    1. I understand your gripe but it is a samsung rom. If you wanted tecno you really would still be on stock. your pride is dependent of a boot image?? Really?

    2. After restoring to stock rom, the samsung boot logo remains. Do you have Tecno boot logo one can flash?

    3. Yes,i do have the stock boot logo,im form of a flashable zip. Email me and I'll send it to you

    1. We are still saying the same thing bro...... This rom is meant for a tecno phantom and as such should have a tecno boot logo not samsung boot logo

  5. Update. I tried the ROM again in the evening using an Android WI-Fi hotspot and Wi-Fi worked fine. Once after being on lock screen for a while, I couldn't get out of it using the power button and was forced to power down the phone. Looks like the solution to many problems that might crop up with this ROM is many reboots.

      Thanks for the cmw
      But have seen anybody that has ported this rom to a2?

    2. The camera not working is because i didn't patch it. I don't have the device so i can't test to see that everything is working. if one of you can email me the lib folder from his cwm backup of the stock rom then i'll fix that issue and you would be seeing more roms for your phone.

      Delete
    3. Ok, can I send u the lib folder from an a2 stock rom? Its 120mb. But I have used an archive manager to fraction it down to 7 fractions 7mb apiece all totaling 43.5mb.
      All I need is your email sir.
      Thanks.

  26. Hey Sean,am also having the same issue someone else above:-

    1. Installation goes well upto the first reboot..after the tecno logo the screen goes blank except for the backlight.
    2. But you can tell the phone is ON coz when you press power button the phone unlocks as usual and the screen flashes to display the cool home screen but then goes off.The phone is definitely ON but display blacks out.
    3. When you power down the phone the screen comes up again to display restart.power off etc

    Sean could you pliz tell me where am going wrong coz av reflashed the tecno A+ like 4 times but the same thing happens.l had to revert to the tecno stock ROM.l followed all procedures of cwm to the latter.

  36. Hey guys l still can't believe l haven't solved the blacked out screen upto now.Many thanx to Gideon Lade for atleast helping me with samsung flash logo coz mine was still displaying Tecno brand even after Melting Rocks 3 flashing.Now l only need to get the damn screen to remain ON after the samsung logo...calls are fine...the only way to turn ON the screen is when you try to swich OFF the phone coz that's when the screen turns ON to display power off,restart airplane mode etc.
    Hey guyz is there any difference between the versions of CWM coz mine is 6.0.3.6 modd by carlivo@xda.??Am thinking of trying another from tecnoandroidblogspot.com also for phantom A+
    Am beginning to think these models are not actually manufacture with same specs or architecture.

    ReplyDelete
  37. This has got to be the trickiest ROM av ever had to flash...l guess its back to stock ROM guyz...I hope the next ROM will do the magic...

  38. Hey seun l finally got the ROM to work...funny thing is l flashed the melting rocks III A2.zip instead of the one meant for A+ on the download link.l even wondered if you might have swapped them when uploading coz it works perfectly fine on my tecno phantom A+ while the other had screen blackout issues.
    Call it luck but l reflashed the same A2 ROM again and it still worked fine.
    Someone with screen blackout issues should try the A2 version and see if it works fine.
    Thanks to Gideone for the heads up on the installation swapping issues.This ROM is super cool.

  57. Also found that the A2 rom fixes the problem of the screen otherwise the loss of WiFi was a dealbreaker for me. I also don't like the Touchwiz interface. Really annoying to use. Very good effort though Seun! Will def try out the newer releases.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Ok..l have been using this rom for 2 months now...what l have noticed is it is cool except for just a few bugs of which l can tolerate but if dealt with the rom would be the best so far.
    1.The installation meabt for A+ for some reason has a screen blackout issue hence forcing some of us to use the A2 version to resolve this.
    2.Some of the notification icons that come with the rom like the 2g/3g toggle dont work fine so l had to remove them...in most cases after you toggle then you have to restart the phone for effects to take place.
    3.The wifi also has issues when turning ON occasionally..you may need to restart if it remains grayed out after toggling ON for effects to work.
    4. Sometimes after disabling wifi to continue using service provider data service on 3G it doesnt work...fear not...another phone restart will solve this again till the next time you switch to wifi and back....as usual
    5.It goes without saying that some features on camera dont work and gallery force closes.Again at some point the camera button may not work until phone is restarted...and needs to be long-pressed to work.

    These are some issues l have encountered but some might be coz lam using the A2 rom on A+ but then again the A+ version has screen issues on my phone.

  60. TOTAL SOLUTION FOR A+
    OK...guys l just discovered the solution for those of us who couldn't install the MR3 for A+ and so had to use the MR3 for A2 which has a number of bugs.
    My little bro just got a new Tecno A+ and tried to load MR3 for A+ but he also had the same screen blackout issues after rebooting.He went back to stock tecno ROM but the next day he loaded the MR2 from seun Payne's site.The same evening he tried MR3 for A+ again and it worked...and has no bugs other than the usual gallery force closing when editing a photo and also in panorama.
    I tried loading MR3 again and l still had screen issues after rebooting.l tried loading MR2 first then after rebooting and using for just a minute l went back to CWM and loaded MR3 for A+ on my Techno A+
    The ROM worked fine and has no extra bugs like WiFi issues and etc and its very stable.
    I tried it again twice just in case its luck but it still worked fine.
    TO AVOID SCREEN BLACKOUT ISSUES....WHEN GOING FROM STOCK ROM YOU HAVE TO LOAD MR2 FIRST BEFORE GOING TO MR3....IT APPEARS MR3 FOR TECNO A+ IS MISSING SOMETHING HENCE YOU HAVE TO USE MR2 FIRST IF YOU GET SCREEN BLACKOUT AFTER REBOOTING MR3.
    GUYZ JUST TRY IT...GUARANTEE ITS GOING TO WORK AND ISSUES WITH NETWORK TOGGLING AND GPS TURN ON ISSUES WILL DISAPPEAR AMONG OTHERS...
