[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEstuardo:
Hello again.

This time I could install the working studypara.img with the stock Telenor ROM (before I was with QME ROM). I wipe all data.

The phone start normally, and apparently there was no change... Still no 3G connection.

Then I started to investigate for a possible solution, and found something related to a certain modem.mbn... Then I remembered that earlier, before the upgrade, a similar file needed to be changed...

I remembered that this file is included in the partition FOTAFLAG.

Then I install FOTAFLAG.img of the 2.2 version (the functional)... I wipe all data, the phone start normally but now there is a change!. There is no connection at all, the phone does'nt recognize the SIM card.

So, I think this partition has something related to our connectivity problem.

PS: Don't know why, but both times I install the img files (studypara and FOTAFLAG), the recovery didn't work... I needed to reinstall it.

Help us please :(

@gulyuk.s

Man, your Ewra Rom is masterpiece, best (and only) custom 2.2 rom for this phone. Why don't you (if you didn't already) make separate thread for EWRA Rom, so we can talk about problems/suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2droid:
I beg to differ, it's a great-looking rom, still only @ 0.1, but it needs a bit of extra done. Check the comments @ http://x-ewra.blogspot.com/2012/05/password-for-download-ewra-rom-erwa2012.html. Lots of breakage for me.

Apart from the stuff I commented @ the blog, I get lots of Framework crashes (esp. when trying to add a 2nd gmail account). Front-facing camera while an option still doesn't work.

Correction: the line in question on the first adb log is

W/asset ( 1960): Asset path /custpack/JRD_custres/app/LatinIME-res.apk is neither a directory nor file (type=1).

and not the one I erroneously pasted (/data/data/jonasl.ime/udb etc.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
which in app the front-camera is not working? I'm just tested in stock camera and it work perfect

also,give me logs when framework crashes and your non-working keyboard
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2droid:
Stock Camera. Please see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob6bNJ252XQ&hd=1

Note: Power Widget and HTC IME keyboard have been tried in over a dozen Froyo-based ROMS in the past couple of years. They work as expected. I was running sebastian's 2.2.2 Froyo prior to your rom without issues.

I'll get back to you with more logs later today.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
hmm..the stock camera work with front-camera perfect,also stock power widget change normal the brightess level and I'm installed Greek Input Method from Market and set as default,after reboot it is not unchecked

probably not the fate that you'll use this firmware
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2droid:
I refuse to accept fatalism in 2012, we have to make it work. Don't give up! I installed via your install batchfile (fastboot). What could have possibly gone wrong? :(

P.S I was browsing / with root explorer and came across a Dropbox directory in /system when I haven't installed Dropbox in this ROM. Must have been a residue from an older ROM, could that be the reason? A non-complete wipe?

Update

:D:D:D:D:D

THAT WAS IT! Rebooted to CWM, wiped cache and now everything works fine! Thanks for your patience gylyuk sergey!

Now it's my turn to request a moderator's help in moving all Ewra 0.1-related posts to their own thread. This ROM is worth it :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEstuardo:
After I post here, I re-flashed the studypara and fotaflag imgs (GB version)... Wipe data, the phone start normally and still doesn't recognize the SIM card.

Then I run OTU... It completed the installation, the phone started normal, and this time there was a change, there is HSDPA connection. The previous times I downgraded to FROYO, there was no 3g connection (and it is confirmed by a couple of guys, who also happens the same when downgrading).

I don't know what happened, but now I have a 3G connection again (on FROYO).

I flashed this one.

I did this:

fastboot erase studypara
fastboot flash studypara studypara.img

I think it went well, because the CMD thing showed:

OKAY.
finished. Total time: x.xxxs

I did this, right now is being packaged.

It will take soooome time...

Well, it's strange because both times I flashed the img files, I couldn't get into recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
The good thing is that the phone works again; but we still don't know how to fix the problem.

The problem is not that flashing fails; just the low-level flash format is probably slightly different from the one expected by the modem code, therefore you might get garbage inserted into NVM (internal settings storage used by the modem part); and even correct settings for another region might cause problems.

And nothing interesting in your FOTAFLAG — it should not even trigger copying from AMSS to FOTA. Maybe studypara was the real trigger.

How did you successed the compile process gulyuk? Are the sensors working now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
yes,it work perfect and now I try the search sources code for new governors

first compile with source for smartass v2 is fail,I made a mistake when declaring variables for this governor

need to sources for similar devices (githab or others)

I'm searching,adding and until compiling

so,for test I'm added CPU governor - interactive

and it works

also activate the swap
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
It's really good news, but i don't understand why did you activated the swap function.

The device has a "huge" amount of memory, the swap function is highly slows the device, because the SD card is much slower than ddr2 memory.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
are you use a Linux distributive without a swap?

of course, without a swap partition is created it will not slowdown the system,but for some game it is useful,I think (also searching sources for compcache - test,test)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
If you are focusing your ROM for that, it's useful, but i think with average usage, it's not too useful.

BTW, yes, i'm using Linux, but it's not very useful to me, because i have 6 gigs of RAM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
Hmm, I wrote, without created the swap - it does not affect the performance

And with 6 gigs Ram you compiled firmware from asop sources successfully?:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
No, gulyuk, i think you misunderstand something, but i don't know what. I didn't compiled the kernel (yet).

I've tried swap function on some of my previous phones (Huawei U8120, ZTE Blade) and it's really affects the performance.

But if you didn't noticed performance issues with swap on, then use it. I've just shared my earlier expereiences :)!

You can remove the animation by editing build.prop in /custpack and adding the line:

If you want to replace one you can just replace the bootanimation.zip in /custpack/JRD_custres/media with another one (search google)

SD Card Partitioning

Hi there!

Thanks for awesome tutorial, i can report another OT-990 rooted phone with Marina ROM Lite!

Can someone explain which setup is best for SD Card partitioning, because this kind of devices always running out of free space if you install NAV apps.

Should I add partitions to /etc/fstab or there is another method for automount? Should I install any 3rd party apps (APP2SD) or ROM patch? Should I create swap partition or no, because i think that can only slow-down performance in this case?

Cheers :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
no,you can create the ext partition via recovery (Advanced -> Partition SD card -> 128 or more,swap - 0) without swap (kernel not supported) and install app Link2SD

if link2sd not automatically mount the sdext partition you can put this script in /system/etc/init/d

#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /data/sdext2
if [ -e /data/sdext2 ]; then
mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2;
mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2;
else
mkdir /data/sdext2;
mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2;
mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2;
fi;

and set permissions 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) then reboot and again the start link2sd

good luck ;)

Changing The Stock Drop Down Lock Screen to Stock Froyo

Hi,

Just wanted to share everybody about my finding. Earlier I posted on this thread about the lockscreen, and now I did some modification with the android.policy.jar and push it to my system, and it worked like a charm, I have the default lockscreen and get rid off the stock locker.

All you need to do is download this modified android.policy.jar and push it via adb:

http://www.4shared.com/file/cEF2IZlI/androidpolicy.html

Extract it to C:\

and run this command:

adb remount adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar

Voila You'll have the stock locker on your OT990 Gingerbread, tested on my QME rom by qltsar.

Additional Note: It may take several minutes to boot up as android rebuilds the system again. Don't be scared, what I did is just remove the battery and turn the phone on again.

Hope this helps..
