custom ROM PICOpad GDK

This cute 4 inch smartphone is still using MTK6575 and 4.0.4 ICS os and had common average performance with single core mtk6575. Likes this model because it fits perfectly in my small palm, but i really hate the default icon template brought by the default stock rom … so for you who own this device for sometime and want to try something new , here is the custom rom from me, it’s pretty fast and responsive after some tweak.

As before, cooked with dsixda rom kitchen, with ingredients as follows :

sysctl tweak for increasing internet network performance (basically it’s a common network ip4 tweak from klixs, but it is working good on my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 custom rom)
some battery saver tweak (forgot where i get this from, only copy paste-ing from my tomboy, sorry)
some dalvikvm performance tweak (forgot too where i get this from, sorry)
some gps performance tweak (from here)
entropy generator tweak
rooted with su, busybox, and SuperSU Chainfire included + unsecured boot.img
init.d support (of course)
some custom artwork
deodexed all apps and framework

And here we go the custom rom :

picopad_gdk_K2-75-AXIOO-1227_jfdesignnet_300113_1324

This custom ROM needs a custom recovery tp be flashed into, and here is the cwm recovery i build for this device : recovery-cwm-gdk

Flashing Process :

The steps to flash this custom rom is pretty straight forward :

Download the custom rom from link above and copy it to the root of your sdcard, you may check it first with your file manager to confirm it was there. There are two sdcard storage on picopad GDK so you must know it’s at the internal sdcard or external sdcard. I prefer you put this on external sdcard to avoid any difficulties.
Boot into clockworkmod CWM recovery mode by turning off your phone, hold down Volume + button then press power button, hold them both until you feel a long vibration then release it, the axioo logo will appear. Wait a sec or two … then you’re in cwm recovery mode. You can navigate it through the menu using volume + and – button, and to executing the highlight menu you can press power button.
BACKUP your stock rom and data using nandroid backup first !!!
Choose Wipe Data / Factory reset and execute it
Choose Wipe cache partition and execute it
Go to Advanced menu, choose Wipe Dalvik Cache and execute it
Go back to main menu, and choose Install zip from sdcard menu and execute it
If you were put the custom rom on the internal sdcard, then choose Install from internal sdcard, otherwise choose Install from external sdcard. Navigate to the custom rom location and execute it. There will be a confirmation once again, and of course choose Yes.
After the installation completed, go back to main menu and choose Reboot System Now
