wifi works for me now. id the following thing.

unpacked newker_qme, than copied the 2 files to my sd card.

after that, i have used root browser to find those 2 files located in map media,

deleted those files, went back to my sd card and copied those 2 files to the map

media again. after that set permission. reboot

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SV_25:
The reason is because it will only work if the google apk is in the /system/app/ directory... So you need to look for the com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk in /data/app and move it to /system/app, then reboot. Works for me on the new kernel with qme... (wifi works with the method descibed here.)

google search solution

thank you for your tip, it works fantastic now.

now i have qme rom with new kernel from gulyuk

Is possible to embed FLAC in Marina ROM Lite just for now? DSP manager on Marina ROM Lite dont work good as half as in CM7, so i suppose its due to FLAC. Sound qualiti is better on CM7 (full dynamic-range harmony, bass bost and loudness compression) and i dont think its not up to HW limitation.

Can anyone post Phone.apk for Gingerbread, not the one from the Stock Alcatel Roms, but from the real gingerbread stock.

Best way is to use root explorer, paste the file into system/framework then set permissions to rw-r-r. then reboot.

Is it possible to modify the camera?I've read that some custom roms improved some smartphone cameras alot.Pictures taken with Alcatel look too pale,and I would like to see at least natural colors.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxx_srb:
Thanks, toxic77, works like a charm! Now, the call answer screen should also be changed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberianIce:
@Tommy21st

Camera can be fine-tuned but its very good as is by default. If you tune it to show better natural colours you will screw shrapness and bring more noise. RAW output from OT-990 camera can still produce enough information for taking decent photos, but photos will always looks to pale up to environment; For indoor shots its up to weak flash and can't be much done about that. For outdoor shoting better use an post-processing 3rd party software (PicsPlay, Photo Editor) you are actualy able to make big difference with natural colour, edit curves, fix histogram, levels, even pseudo-HDR, and you can add some extra effects like focus or vignetting. Not actually a PS but very close. Try to explore additional camera apps on google play store.

Hi,thanks for your quick answer.Maybe a little tweaking, I would try it myself but I don't know how to do it. Adding more saturation as default would be good , I tried few apps on the market, but only hdr camera plus gives me decent results.Most of the other apps gives too much noise to the picture.

@toxic77: Your rom is a great work, but i have some problems to reboot or to go to the recovery. I have a problem when i want to install an app through the play store or an app which doesn't come from play store (but i have this problem when i use QME Rom too)

Edit:The first problem isn't a problem, it's just because it's slow

Edit2:When i want to install any app through the play store, i have this "the file of the package is incorrect". If i want to install an apk, i have "App not installed"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
@axm6 yes it is based on QME rom by qltsar, so problems still exist, my rom is just a makeover with some app additions, regarding the slow boot recovery, as you said it is qme rom, to access the recovery faster you might want to install this widget from the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.francescoaurino.rebootwidget&feature=search_result

or you can also use titanium backup then access the reboot function, 2 options were there reboot and reboot to recovery.

Bug in CWM?

Device turns off immediately if you unplug USB cabel while in CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
Is it the big problem?

Maybe you try the boot cwm recovery without connect usb cable?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberianIce:
Nah for me, but just to be noted

people should avoid connecting USB while in CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 or booting into recovery while USB is connected

. Because it can turn into problem if device turns off in middle of flashing recovery image or so. Also should avoid USB Storage in CWM recovery, because if your PC goes down for any reason, your device will turn off to.

Installed Libdroid, and I keep getting force close with the camera app after a period of time not using the camera. Or like you said, force close after the first run, then it runs OK. Only it repeats from time to time.

Can I uninstall Libdroid using RootUninstaller? Would that help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoseMat:
No Problem with me regarding USB cable connection.

I am charging my fon thru laptop while opening new CWM doing back ups. After back up was nearly finished I pulled out the cable in preparation for reboot but fon shut down. I normally switch on the fon and reboot normaly with back up processed.

Noticed bugs:

1. During Back up on last portion process - external SD back up error.

2. Camera/Vending apk not functioning anymore, even on several attempts after libdroid update - since camera is essential for me I reformat again Marina ROM, update new kernel, etc.. then libroid update, at first camera opening it hangs several seconds, I re open it again then at last it open and functional. Likewise with vending apk.

3. Reinstalling old back up file - not successful - it shows MD5 incompatible?.. forgot the exact line

But overall the phone is okay now

Hi mates,

I don't have OT-990, I'm a proud user of HTC Desire but I would like to ask you something.

I modded Sergey's Marina lite rom, added Darktremor's a2sd script (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719151), using dsixda's kitchen but I don't have a device to try it. Script is developed for Desire but I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work on OT-990. The script allows you to move all apps and dalvik-cache to sd-ext partition without any lags, cause app data remains on data partition (it has a command for that but I don't recommend cause you can get some lags). It doesn't require link2sd or any other additional app, only some knowledge of using terminal commands and sd-ext partition.

I've already tried and successfully installed mentioned script on my friends phone after installing of marina rom, but never tried to implement it inside the rom and I don't have access to that phone anymore. I uploaded the rom on the net and, if Sergey doesn't mind and allows it, I will post you the link so some of you, if he/she wants, can try it. The only requirement is sd-ext partition.

I hope that I can contribute something to this thread and to all users of Alcatel OT-990.

Cheers

Modified Marina Lite rom by Sergey Gulyuk

After contacting and gaining authorization from Sergey, I'm posting a link to a modified version of his 2.3.4 rom Marina Lite. Rom i made with integration of Darktremmor a2sd script (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719151 for more details). Script is made for HTC Desire but it is successfully used with a lot of phones. I managed t install it to my friend's OT-990 and it's working flawlessly. The script allows you to move all free and paid apps from data partition to sd-ext partition so as dalvik cache of those applications. It has a command to move all data from data/data folder but it's not recommended because it can cause lacks of speed. The script allows you to use all that without any other application (link2sd, S2E...) just executing commands from terminal. My problem is that I don't have OT-990 to try it (currently don't have access to my friends phone).

So here is the link:

http://www.fileswap.com/dl/2QwgkncNH/marina_a2sd.zip.html

Here are the steps you have to perform:

-you need sd-ext partition to make a2sd script work (I recommend at least 512 MB)-it can be made from recovery (before partitioning do a backup of your sd card data because it will be erased)

-do a clean install of rom from recovery (wipe data and dalvik (factory reset from recovery)

-after first boot (if it boots) install some Terminal app from market (like Jack Palevich terminal)

-after opening of terminal type:

su

to gain superuser rights, and then

a2sd install

that command will install a2sd script that is implemented into rom, move all apps from data to sd-ext and reboot your phone.

After reboot open terminal again and type:

su

a2sd cachesd

this command will move and rebuild all dalvik cache data to sd-ext.

For the rest of commands and a full instructions how to use a2sd go to this thread (I already posted it):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719151

I hope it will work, cause it is working on Marina Lite rom (on my friends phone) but installed separately after rom instalation and rom has init.d support.

I also hope that someone will be brave enough to try it.

Cheers.
