TimelessV88 Edition 2 (RC1)

FOR BLUETOOTH VERSION ONLY! RKBATCHTOOL V1.6 INCLUDED, NO VIRUS UNLIKE SOME V1.7

TimelessV88 E2 coming soon?

NEW INFORMATION: Guys, I'm planning to implement some sort of donator's section. Slatedroid said that I can offer donators small perks as long as the Roms are identical. Donators will gain access to my CWM-Flashable versions of my TimelessV88 Series. Non-donators will not be disadvantaged in any way as they still get to use my TimelessV88 Series which is identical. Both the CWM version and RKBatchtool versions of my TimelessV88 are identical. Only difference is the method of deployment. Donator's status will be awarded to users whom have donated an amount that is not too shabby but doesn't have to be too grand. Donators will gain access to my current form of CWM-zips for TimelessV88indefinitely. Once again Donation is entirely optional, both donators and non-donators will end up with identical copies of my TimelessV88.

The process of becoming a validated donator is as follows. Donate, PM me with email. I'll add you to a donator list and PM you with the download link. This download link is for you and you only. No sharing or creating mirrors would be allowed. In the event of a single breach, I will be terminating CWM-zips for TimelessV88. There will be a zero-tolerance policy.

If you have donated to me in the past, PM me with your paypal user and I'll communicate with you for further instructions


CWM versus RKBatchTool

1. RKBatchTool ERASES all information on your tablet due to the method of flashing
2. CWM allows you to keep previous files and settings.
3. While RK3188 chips are generally "unbrickable" it's usually a hassle to "unbrick" your tablet
4. When using RKBatchTool, if you accidentally unplug the tablet mid-flash or if there's a power outage, you most likely will brick your tablet
5. CWM is a much much much safer way of flashing new rom, it's 99.99% un-interrupt-able.
6. RKBatchTool is a hassle, drivers issue and what nots
7. It is possible to flash my new CWM roms directly without using a PC (download and flash directly using tablet)
8. If something goes wrong, flash my CWM rom again
9. Updates using my CWM roms will preserve all existing data on your tablet.
10. Simply put, CWM is the epitome for android flashing

This is going to be the place where you can obtain a copy of my TimelessV88 roms.

TimelessV88 roms are meant to be lightweight, fast and functional. Anything fanciful that would contribute to bloat will not be added.

TimelessV88 roms are also tailored to the Chuwi V88. I personally maintain this rom for this device and this device only. This means there will be dedicated support for this device using this rom.

Note: TimelessV88 Roms have been tested to work and has been hosed down with bug spray. It still may have bugs though. please check post 2 to see if the bug has been listed before posting. Also, please be aware that I don't give a rat's behind about antutu or other benchmark scores. My emphasis is on real life performance rather than benchmarks. If you wish to ask about antutu or others, please create a separate thread.
