If you got waiting for device, some drivers are missing. On android srbija forum you will have to find in root section file super one click, which includes drivers for OT 990 stock froyo (if installing of android manager and other stuff from alcatel wasn't helpfull), and manually install drivers (when phone is connected, win will ask for drivers, just point to folder where they are unpacked). Next one, phone must be on, when using method with 3 x enter (2.3.4 over 2.2.2), manuals are inculded on that forum, read those carefully. If you follow these steps you should have telenor 2.3.4 hu GB on your device, after that just flash marina or qme rom. It worked for me, so good luck. (Backup is needed, everything will be erased). Also, search xda, there are helpfull info also.

@toxic77

How about a little bit more details on how you did it. I tried, but nothing happened. Then I tried again and I got "operation not permitted".

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Ok, so I copied the jar on the phone directly, not via adb. Now I have some strange artifacts. I seem to have lost some applications, like google play and a couple that seem just random. Also, there seems to be a mess on the phone turn off menu. The stupidest thing is I didn't backup my old .jar. I'm running marina rom lite with the latest kernel.

EDIT: I went to recovery and wiped cache. It seems ok now!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SV_25:
Sadly it doesn't seem to work on my marina ROM (stuck at boot, even after wiping the cache). I also tested it on qme, but mine had the ics theme so the slider background didn't show up...

Can you explain us what you actually changed so it can be used in other ROMs? Also having the pre-froyo slider would be cool, i think it is called the rotary.

Thanks in advance.

I managed to install marina rom,i've downloaded newest alcatel android manager.Marina rom is on my phone now with new kernel for marina rom and so far everything works fine:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
As I said on my post it's tested under QME Rom, after that I had some apps missing too, then after it I changed the permission via root explorer to rw-r-r, then you might want to reinstall some of the apps if they didn't show up, only tested with "QME Rom".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
All I did is change the LockPatternKeyguardView.smali from the stock with the one from Stock Gingerbread Rom, you might want to use apktool, simplest way to modify any apk or jar file, and take note on my OP, i tested it with the STOCK QME ROM no ics or any modifications. Make sure you backup your android.policy.jar first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
you're master of code smali :cool: but I'm not test it,because I until works on kernel and source code of ics the cyanogen mod(when have time),and haven't time after my work(need the money is first now) for this modification alcatel 990

later I'll upload new kernel for 2.3.4 stock or QME or Marina,and it very fast and perfect on 600 MHz,but also have OC to 787 ;)

Bootanimation

Is there anyway to have the stock android bootanimation or the alcatel boot animation working on QME Rom, on the stock firmware the telenor bootanimation is present but now, even if I install bootanimation.zip to either system/media or jrd_custres/media the animation wont show up anymore? Can you help me out gulyuk?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
Can you find in build.prop the line with

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

if it true - change 1 on 0; or remove this line

Also look at init.d scripts,maybe in there it have

setprop debug.sf.nobootanimation 1;

and it remove or change values

If it will not works,maybe he deactivated it in init.rc or init.qlcom.rc

At time I make for you your boot splash,wait...

And it is done ;)

View attachment boot.img
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
If it's not based on my latest boot.img it will fail on boot, because i made changes at init.rc (partition layout/order).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
but you add this line in init.rc

symlink /system/custpack/JRD_custres /custpack/JRD_custres

so,he can add folder media with bootanimation.zip in /system/custpack/JRD_custres and it'll be working,theoretically :confused:

NewKer #2 for stock firmware or marina lite is available here!

Hey toxic77

i have managed to make new boot image from the alcatel black bleu image posted on page 74 (boot.img) and flashed it

with fastboot. i am using QME at the moment, it works without problems. it was a nice

expiriment, a lot of work, thats because i dont know al lot of linux.

its the image that you see after the green android logo when the phone is booting.

if you want it, sent me a message

thanks to gulyuk and qltsar for image and work

charwed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
Wow, thanks gulyuk for making my boot.img.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

Yup I noticed that too, but it doesn't interfere with how the phone functions right, will do more researching and see if it can be done again.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

Mate that was the image I sent to gulyuk and ask for him to make a boot.img out of it, maybe posting a part by part tutorial would be better how you did it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
I don't understand gulyuk. So...is that based on my boot.img? If it's yes, than no problem with that, if no, it won't boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
Code

Qltsar:

I already found the file that disables the boot animation

01prop: debug.sf.nobootanimation 1

I guess I'll just edit it to 0 and pop-in the boot animation on system/media.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
Yes this line is located at here, the default setting is 1, if you modify it to 0 you can use bootanimations, just put the zip file to /system/media folder.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
Thanks qltsar, by the way I also fixed the TTS Problem with QME, I have Pico TTS now and its working, added the stock Latin IME, Gallery, Calculator and etc..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
These are not bugs, or errors. I made this ROM with hardly minimalistic structure, so these things have been removed from this ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
Understand that also noticed the audio files are missing, Is it ok if I use your base rom and add the missing contents for most users, who wants to have the stock apk's, bootanimation, and the boot.img from gulyuk?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
Most of the system apk-s will won't work if you put to my ROM from the original, or gulyuk's ROM, also gulyuk boot.img will not work with my ROM. I've sat many parameters inside the boot.img wich are different from the stock, or gulyuk's boot.img.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
the boot.img I gave to gulyuk is the one from your rom, and he just modified it with the splash image. So you mean to say we cannot create a custom rom using your base rom, because of the permissions you set?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
about it I'm wrote in this post or you not look it?

Qlstar the framework from jrd find many system files in custpack when OS start,so, if we remove the point of custpack in ramdisk and mount in system partition without symlink on this files (as example, if /custpack/usr/keylayout will be not available = soft keyboard will be not work),also it find in /custpack/jrd_custres/app/*-res.apk for their apk in /system/app,but after merge(create one apk from this) the logcat send error that *-.res.apk not find,but OS whatever works..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
No Luck

@gulyuk and qltsar,

I had no luck in activating the bootanimation, already edited the files under \init.d\01prop and init.goldfish.sh, but results are the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
but why do not you use the firmware without the distortions in ramdisk?

and I have one question, are you got the update for 2.3.4 to v5H5-0? A few days ago OTU started to flash it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
Was trying to learn and configure things up, thats why I'm asking ideas from you, in order for me to run that bootanimation by default.

Nope I haven't got any news about the new update from OTU.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Gulyuk, can I ask you another favor, can you upload the files for creating the boot.img here, I also have linux but I cannot register under 4pda.ru.

A. sboot.pl.zip (1.92 MB)

B. boot.img_tools.zip (69.75 KB)

C. blackhawk_tools.zip (278.09 KB)

I already saved the instructions you did there, and I only need your tools.

And also gulyuk, I downloaded the v5H5-0.zip from narod.ru, will it be safe to install it and is it the latest firmware for OT990?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
Did you modify that firmware? is it rooted by default?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
only rooted,but when have free time I modify it,yesterday integrate the libdroid panel with 14 (manually) widgets and also add brightness control slide
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic77:
Gulyuk, guess what boot animation is working now after flashing the boot.img you gave me, good Lord.

I'll share everyone the edited stock boot animation for ot 990 to match the inverted boot logo.

Preview:

Also attached is the bootanimation.zip, and its only 97.5 kb, it wont hurt adding it to system/media, unlike other boot animations which are around 1 mb or more.

Hello qltsar,

do you have a solution for the problem that

thanks for your work

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
What function you want to search button? I removed the google search tool from my ROM, but you can easily install it from playstore.

If you want the search button to bind the google search: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5nb29nbGVxdWlja3NlYXJjaGJveCJd

You can also use the long-press search to lock the device with this tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rYXRlY2NhLnNjcmVlbm9mZmxvY2siXQ..

Finally, i don't understand your last sentence, so do you want to know if gulyuk's new kernel compatibile with my ROM? The answer is no, if you want to use gulyuk's kernel with my ROM, firstly ask permission from him, second, change the zImage from his kernel, and put it into my boot.img. But we also working on the overclockable kernel with quasimidi, but we don't have a lot of time to manage the process because of our "really" work, so the process may takes a little bit long time.

Hi all,

I have great news: I asked Alcatel in English, in French and in Chinese; they only replied in the latter... (that confirmed my views about customer service in Europe) ; here is the translation:

If your device is indeed One Touch 990 and not TCL A990, the source for the kernel will be made available in December. We will send you the link to download it in due time.
