[Official] [ROM] QuarkOS™ v3.0 Stable for Yureka and Yureka Plus [LP-5.1.1][ARM64]

I am very happy to release my first version of QuarkOS for Yu Yureka and Yureka Plus. With the demand of VoLTE support for Yureka (especially after the arrival of Jio :p) and availability of YU5510A-LP VoLTE modem there was a need of a good ROM/OS which can use the modem much efficiently to provide VoLTE calling and other LTE features. So, here comes the QuarkOS™ fully designed by me. It will give the best VoLTE experience with best battery backup to Yureka users without any heating issue whatsoever.


QuarkOS™ gives you the best telephony, best UI, best sound, best performance, best battery backup, best camera performance and best ever user experience.

Disclaimer: This ROM has been tested and verified to be stable for daily use but there may be some unknown bugs. The development team is not responsible for any damage to your device or your information.

FAQ for QuarkOS™

Q. How to enable led notifications for apps when phone is not docked?

Ans: Open the provided Light Manager app from the app drawer >> Give it notification access when prompted >> Add your favourite app >> Check "Enable" >> Change Flash Rate to "None" >> Color to Red or Green >> Done.

Q. How to enable double tap to wake?

Ans: Go to Settings >> Smart control >> Wake-up gesture >> Enable Wake-up gesture >> Check "Double-tap to Wake"

Q. How to enable double tap to sleep?

Ans: Go to Settings >> Smart control >> Buttons >> Double tap action >> Turn screen off. After this double tapping the home key will sleep the screen.

Q. How to use GovTuner in QuarkOS 3.0?

Ans: Install Terminal Emulator app and open it. Use the following commands one by one:

su
govtuner

Then select your desired profile from the list (Battery | Balanced | Performance)

Q. How to enable Google Search widget in recents in QuarkOS 3.0?

Ans: In QuarkOS 3.0 you may find that Google Search widget has been removed from recents screen. This happened because Google Search got embarrassed because of awesome unified search widget of Evie, just kidding :p

So, to get it back install Google Now launcher (or any other) and then make it default and disable Evie launcher from Settings.

Then reboot your device. You will see that Google search in recents will come back happily.

Then you can revert back to Evie launcher.

Bugs and Workarounds

Known bug: Led notification light not working for notifications when charger is not connected. [But works with USB plugged]

Workaround: Use Light Flow Pro app (or LED Blinker app) to set led notification for your favourite app. Set the LED to “Always on”.

Limitation: Since the ROM is fully based on AOSP, there is no native support for NTFS and exFAT file systems.

Workaround: Use Paragon NTFS, ExFAT Mounter app from Google Play.

Some Tips

The ringtones are set to 'none' by default. So select your favourite ringtone after flashing. ("Sound picker " app is preferred)
Use Xperia Camera Widget to access all the Camera addon apps.

For Devs and Advanced Users

After hours of hardwork I have finally made patchable source of QuarkOS. Here it is:

https://github.com/QuarkOS-ROM

This source contains all the history of methods that I used to make the ROM.

Now Devs of different devices can try making with different bases like MM, N, MIUI, Lineage etc.

Now users can know the secret of making ROMs by modding. And there's lot to learn.

I hope to see QuarkOS for other devices too. :)
