Honestly, this custom rom is not a way too different with the axioo stock rom, all optimization and some tweak performance already included during customization phase so the overall performance and benchmark will show almost the same value with this custom rom, sooo &#8230; if you&#8217;re looking for performance boost, you are wasting your time, just stick with your stock rom.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m creating (re-porting to be exactly) this custom rom as a helper for my fellow friend who actually begin to learning about porting and creating a rom for their own device. To avoid unnecessary distraction, i omit all additional package and all bloatware application, this is just plain simple rom with minimal google apps as complementary. Eventhough this is just a minime version from the stock rom, there is also another advantage you cannot found on the stock rom, which is, this rom is rooted, has been zip-aligned, optimize &amp; de-odexed all the apks, and of course &#8230; the most important weapon for linux &#8230; busybox and bash. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here is the features :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Android 4.1.2 with 3.4.5 kernel<\/li>\n<li>Rooted, busybox, fully deodexed, zipaligned<\/li>\n<li>rooted boot.img<\/li>\n<li>init.d support + more tweak<\/li>\n<li>Superuser by Clockworkmod (thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/103583939320326217147\">Koush<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>entropy generator tweak (thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/member.php?u=1107425\">lambgx02<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Removed unnecessary and bloatware apps<\/li>\n<li>\u2026 something i forgot to list<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And here we go the custom rom :<\/p>\n<p>Download : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/file\/s3j7ea83e8ggg9q\/PICOpad_GDK_GDS_signed_060513_143348.zip\">PICOpad_GDK_GDS_signed_060513_143348<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MD5 : 5be0eb455e91601d4f9045047e161dec<\/p>\n<p>And here is the steps to flash this custom rom :<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Requirement and Preparation :<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Read this thoroughly :<br \/>\n<em><strong>Your warranty is now void<\/strong> !!!<\/em><br \/>\nI am not responsible if you brick your phone, get stuck in a bootloop, or if your phone grows arms and tries to kill you.

There are two sdcard storage on this device, so you must know it\u2019s at the internal sdcard or external sdcard. I prefer you to put this on external sdcard to avoid any difficulties.<\/li>\n<li>Boot into recovery mode by turning off your phone, hold down Volume + button then press power button, hold them both until you see axioo logo on screen then release it. Wait a sec or two \u2026 then you\u2019ll be in recovery mode.<\/li>\n<li>BACKUP your stock rom and data using BACKUP feature, make sure you use external storage as destination because this backup is relatively big.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe Data \/ Factory reset<\/em><\/strong> and execute it.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe cache partition<\/em><\/strong> and execute it<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong><em>Wipe Dalvik Cache<\/em><\/strong> and execute it<\/li>\n<li>Go back to main menu, and choose <strong><em>Install<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It will open a list of file on your sdcard, choose the custom rom zip file that you put on step 1 and flash it.<\/li>\n<li>After the installation completed, choose <em><strong>Reboot System<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Done<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is the result after flash :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PICOpadGDKGDS-workspace.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3104]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3107 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PICOpadGDKGDS-workspace-169x300.png\" alt=\"PICOpadGDKGDS-workspace\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PICOpadGDKGDS-appslauncher.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3104]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3110 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PICOpadGDKGDS-appslauncher-169x300.png\" alt=\"PICOpadGDKGDS-appslauncher\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PICOpadGDKGDS-about.png\" rel=\"lightbox[3104]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3111 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jfdesignnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PICOpadGDKGDS-about-169x300.png\" alt=\"PICOpadGDKGDS-about\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your minime custom rom version on your PICOpad GDK-GDS !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a custom rom for quadcore MTK6589 axioo PICOpad GDK-GDS model which is totally different with the PICOpad GDK model that still using single core MTK6575.
