Android 3.0 for MTK6573 HD7???

Hi,

Did someone check this ROM

link:

http://www.talkingmobi.com/?p=1817

" Update T9299/HD7 to Android 3.0 with android 4.0 UI and Free Rom Dwnload

Posted by Lady Panda | Posted in 3G WCDMA, China Mobi, FCT Mobi, Flash Guide/Rom Download, MTK 6573 | Posted on 10-02-2012"

If it's work, this is a very good news for people like me who needs RTL support.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

I found another site with an Android 3.0 for HD7.

http://www.etotalk.com/android-30-honeycomb-rom-for-hd7-3gs_p2831.html

Did someone test it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TFordham:
I'd love to but I can't get my Star G14 rooted. It's driving me crazy!!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gedx:
The ROM seem to be for T9399
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t-strike:
Hey Bruno or Bunta. Has any of you found a solution for the not-mention-roaming bug yet? I'ld like to get it fixed, so i have the perfect ROM.

And if i want to use the radio with build-in antenna, do i simply replace the current fmradio.apk or should i also add some kind of driver file?

Ow, and i noticed that my phone's speaker is a lot more quiet than with the original ROM, is that possible? Is there somewhere a setting for the maximum volume level (f.e. with ringtones)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EzraKn:
Hello t-strike

I am not an expert like Bruno or Bunta, but I think some drivers, especially the driver for antenna and TV/FM receiver, are needed together with the apps (FM and TV).

According to the information from Bunta, HD7 clone/Hero H7300 has 2 major models - with TV and without TV. From the point of view of their firmwares, they are very very similar but not the same.

What I observed (I am an user of HD7 clone with TV too) the differences are TV/FM without antenna support and buttons. BM/Bunta firmwares are prepared from non TV version. However, you still can find out some firmwares for TV version are available within internet. For the information you may refer our previous posts here.

Recently I am busy with my personal life. In case I got a spare time I will cook a ROM like BM and Bunta did. :) Hope I will make it successfully and should share to all of you at that time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jman0:
Hi, I also have a Star G14 and have tried to use different H7300 ROM's on it, and they work, but just 99%.

Everything runs fine, but I haven't managed to get the camera and accelerometer to work. The accelerometer didn't work in any ROM and on some of them, the camera display was all pink. If you can read Chinese, or use Google Translator, you can try MobileUncle, a chinese cell phone website, where you can find a lot of ROM's for your device, or the Russian Chine-Iphone forum, where you can find Russian ROM's and lot of advice (but in Russian, of course). Mine now has one of the latest Chinese ROM's, running Android 2.3.5, and it works great.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
Hi all !

I received my Hero H7300 yesterday. Actually, it works with the original ROM (Android 2.3.5, Kernel 2.6.35.7, build 10HX2P.H7300.111216.AD2_3_5_V3.WVGAC_EN.COM_V01_3G). I have no problem with this ROM so I think the phone will stay with it.

But I would like to root the phone. How can I root it ?

Thanks for your answer ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TFordham:
Thanks! The problem is though, I have tried everything to root it, with no luck. Do you have any guidance on getting this done? I've almost given up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
OK, I give answer to myself ! I finaly found a solution to root my H7300 : I install UnlockRoot2.3 and it works very fine ! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EzraKn:
Latest version of Super One click works too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TFordham:
Hmmm....last one I tried was 2.2. I will dl 2.3 and check it out.

Edit: Nope. Get the same notice that root failed. Starting to really piss me off!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EzraKn:
For my case:

I used it to root my stock ROM 2.3.4 (seems very beginning version in firmware). It prompted me the ROM seems like rooted and asked for continue. I chose Yes and SOC continued its work. Finally I got my phone rooted.

May be some changes are made in newer version of firmware that makes the rooting tool doesn't work....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cpurage:
Need PluginManager.java as flashable Update

Hello Bunta,

Thanks for the rom for my A800 MT6513 but I'm still using my original one which was provided with the phone, you know why, but that's not the subject that I want to write for now.

Bunta You've told me that running Flash Video (not flash content, the partly flash content is running well) on this chinese phones is a myth! But I think it is not a myth and if someone is able to create flashable zip update file which to contains the PluginManager.java classes and subclasses it will work. The Proove is that there is no such of directory as you cans see litle bit down in the post.

I realised that those chiness phones don't have that Plugin Manager ported inside (there is no such of directory which contains this: /system/framework/base/core/java/android/webkit/PluginManager.java) and after I successfully updated to "Adobe Flash Player 11 ARMv6 signed" and I have Adobe Flash Player 11 seetings available and actually when you copy and paste the files "libflashplayer.so, libstagefright_froyo.so, libstagefright_honeycomb.so, libysshared.so" in /data/data/com.adobe.FlashPlayer and give them the described permissions and again go in Flash Player settings the process is starting and actually you can Force close the Adobe Flash Player from the settings, BUT the only thing that is missing is PluginManager.java which should give the permission to the Adobe Flash Player 11 by the public static final String PLUGIN_PERMISSION = "android.webkit.permission.PLUGIN"; Some one will say "Yes but I have YouTube on my browser and I can play videos inside it" :mad: NO this is not Adobe Flash Player running there, this is HTML5 video which is running there (and I don't know why it only works after you Root the phone???) and unfortunattley not all the web sites are made for both HTML5 and Flash Supportable like YouTube. So if someone is able to create flashable zip with the required class PluginManager.java (and all it's subclasses and everything which you can find here: h**p://hi-android.info/src/android/webkit/PluginManager.java.html) and also you should comment the part from the PluginManager.java like this:

/*if (SystemProperties.getBoolean("ro.secure", false)) {

boolean signatureMatch = false;

for (Signature signature : signatures) {

for (int i = 0; i < SIGNATURES.length; i++) {

//a hack to make it load any thing...

if (SIGNATURES.equals(signature)) {

signatureMatch = true;

break;

}

}

}

if (!signatureMatch) {

continue;

}

}*/

Please if someone is able compile that in an updateable zip all of us which are using cheap chines phones will have Running Adobe Flash Player teoretically. :D

P.S. I need that for GB 2.3.4 with Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 and I'm sorry that I'm writing in someone else head post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
For that we need to compile Android from sources and MT65x3 source code is not available. That has been said lots of times now...

Anyway, if you think that the only thing missing is PluginManager, then maybe we can get one compiled from another ROM and port it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cpurage:
Yes actually I think only porting it from any HTC ARMv6 ROM will be OK, because as far as I know those chinesse copies are HTC copies so please if you are able create one zip and I'll try on mine one ;) Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Now reading your post again more carefully, what you say doesn't make much sense because you would never find a java file under that folder...

Further looking into framework, I was able to find PluginManager class:

.class public Landroid/webkit/PluginManager;
.super Ljava/lang/Object;
.source "PluginManager.java"

So, the conclusion is that PluginManager is indeed present in these Chinese clones ROMs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cpurage:
Ok. What do you suggest, how can we aim this PluginManager to the Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Flash Player to the PluginManager to start working or it is not possible ?! And actually I'm not able to find the described from you:

"Further looking into framework, I was able to find PluginManager class".

There is nothing releated with the described from you in my framework folder or you mean that I need to decompile through apktool and then to search for the described classes ? Please be more detailed. Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Of course, if you want to have a look into PluginManager class, you have to decompile framework.jar. ;)

Voice Dialer?

Hi. I just got 2 MT6573 based phones (ETON T800 and GMC 7G miracle). I find that both of them are missing Voice Dialer app and can not dial with Bluetooth voice command.

Does MT6573 base phone support voice dialing at all? I can receive call by clicking the answer button on the Bluetooth handsfree and use the phone dialer to call and have conversion with the handsfree. But it doesn't respond to voice dialing command.

Any idea? Can I sideload the app from another phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cpurage:
Try with Vlingoo from the android market. Works for mee (but it use data connection) ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephenju:
Does it work with Bluetooth handsfree?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idoasis:
Hi,

I have a problem with RTL language in the H7300.

My language is Hebrew, and the phone reverse its letters.

I want to install this Rom, but I cannot extract all the zip file.

Only for the file system.img, it asks a different password.

Did someone succeed to extract it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idoasis:
Have tried this, the RTL Hebrew problem still exists.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davidk1970:
We need a solution for RTL :-(

I bought other devices from China like The Zenithink Tablet who is an Android 2.3.4 and it support RTL (Hebrew) perfectly.... Why HD7 does not support it. Please, Find us a solution. There are a lot of people who use RTL (Arabic, Persioan and Hebrew)

HELP US!!!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idoasis:
The problem exists for all china phones based on android 2.3.4.

I havent seen a chinese phone with the mentioned version,

which doesnt reverse the Hebrew letters.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
And what about the ROMs based on Android 2.3.5?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idoasis:
I have installed Roms based on Android 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 (I still cant post links).

The problem still exists.

On the other hand, I have heard, the problem doesnt exists in Android 2.2.

RTL on MT6573 based smartphone

There are some claims about correct RTL suport on MT6573 based android phones

As I a new member here I cannot post direct links, sorry about this

1. There is a model calles S820 on site called sunsky-online (dot-com). Please see the 'review' I posted there and got a claim there is Hebrew support.

Please note that there is a firmware of this one available for download

2. There is a model called G11i on site etotalk (dot-com) - It is also claimed to have RTL support - see 'review by by Abdu on February 16, 2012 .

3. They also sell 'multilanguage rom for this one -just google for 'G11i Pro 3G V3.0 MOD Multi-Langauge ROM(supports Dutch Greek Hebrew)'
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idoasis:
I have also bought the s820, although the phone pretend to have a Hebrew

language, THE HEBREW IS REVERESD (see attachment)!!!

Also QT-A05 and any other phone with android 2.3.4.

By the way, Arabic language is ok in this phones.

They have a full RTL support.

For some reason there is only a problem with Hebrew.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] icteyemd:
hi, could you share to me this rom, i have lost my tv function with bunta's rom and i hope to get the tv back. i did not back up my rom, so stupid of me. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] the_bit:
hebrew script

So it seems this issue has nothing to do with RTL patch - it just another bug in hebrew script representation/locale code?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] the_bit:
I just wrote to etotalk support and they judt offered me a ROM for my H7300 that has Hebrew fixed for $24.99 - I am not sure it is legal
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idoasis:
Well, I dont think so.

The problem is also for writing, it reverses the lettres and show it from left to right.

For example if I write in Hebrew "Hello world" (from right to left), it show it as "dlrow olleH"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] the_bit:
AFAIK the RTL patch fix all related languages - not only Hebrew. The fact Arabic/Persian scripts are OK [if it are OK indeed] does not leave much option...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] the_bit:
So we need MTK6573 source code

AFAIU the main problem with MTK6573-based Chinese phones is lack of the source code and .config file for it.

My Question: Can we do something for this?

Option 1 - Signed petition here with donation option to raise a Fund (or at least to show ability to do so) significant money for this

Option 2 There is some [Chinese?] web seller that sell custom ROMs for MTK6573-based phones (etotalk dot com) . May we purchase [may be using the same fund raising] one and request the source code for this?

Me at least would like to donate to such a foundation - if it will be created. Unfortunately I cannot create top-level post about this, I am new member here

What would you say?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davidk1970:
I am OK with this. We need code.... we need RTL

Noob Question

Hi there does this ROM working on alcatel 918N. This phone is a MT6573 CPU.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
By the way, I was away from home last week and tried playing a Google+ game on my phone through the browser.

It came up saying I needed flash player installed so I installed the v10.2 one that bruno suggested in his G11i thread from this site:

http://www.androidcampus.in/2011/10/adobe-flash-player-102-for-armv6-and.html

After an install and reboot of the phone the game worked fine in the standard browser.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] icteyemd:
HD7 with TV rom?

hello bunta126, can you improve your rom and put TV function too? i have at&t HD7 with TV function now but on upgrading to your rom, there's no TV anymore, please help me. i forgot to back up my rom due to so much excitement. so stupid of me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] idoasis:
By the way, if it helps, I have a friend which own a H7000 (older version) with android 2.2.

He said there isnt a problem with the Hebrew in his phone.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Acreo Aeneas:
Have any owners of the X15i model tried this ROM on their phones? Any luck? Problems?

I'm tempted to try this on my new X15i considering it's also a MTK6573 based phone (much like many of the popular Chinese Android phones out there). I've been lurking and scouring these forums (and the internet) for the past month and this is the closest thread I can find that even remotely discusses custom ROMs for my phone (though it's only relation by hardware).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] icteyemd:
Yes, thank you bunta too. :)

By the way, do you know what flash version works on this rom? One which does not crash the native web browser or dolphin browser?

Does someone try to mount an ext2 partition of the SDCard in /system/sd ? I try to install A2SD in H7300 to "increase" ROM size ... because my H7300 has only 256 Mo of ROM and it's very short.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
There isn't any MT65x3 phone with native ext2 filesystem support...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
OK. So, what kind of type can I use for this partition ? yaffs2 ?

To increase free space in ROM place, I try this : move the dalvik-cache to sdcard ... Test in progress.

I do this :

(My H7300 is rooted and I have rootexplorer but an other file manager with root access can do it)

I open RootExplorer and copy /data/dalvik-cache to /sdcard.

I open Terminal and put this commands :

su
mv /data/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache-old
ln -s /sdcard/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

After few minutes to test if the phone works perfectly, I open RootExplorer to delete /data/dalvik-cache.

I have now 110 Mo of free space in ROM place (10 Mo before this action !) and the phone actually works without trouble. I will wait few days to make a new reporting here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
That is not advisable at all!!! Have you tried to mount your SD card as USB Storage after doing that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
No, I did not. The phone works well but I can't install application from market. After downloading the package, the phone said that the file is not correct. :(

I moved back dalvik-cache in /data and the installation worked.

I must found another way to increase free space in ROM ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I will release a new ROM with ext2 fs support. It is being tested at the moment. If you can wait some days...

hy guys, i have an S820 dual sim android. I rootet the phone and installed some root apps including rom manager. By mistake i presed fix file permision in rom manager. After it finishied the phone rebooted but now it's stuck at the android logo and from time ti time it vibrates like i touch any key. Pls help me. I don't know what to do. I don't even now how to boot into recovery and try a wipe data. I pressed power button and volume up and no luck. Tried volume doiwn and power...same problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Remove the battery during a few seconds and replace it again. Hold VOL DOWN or VOL UP (I don't know the certain combination for your phone) and then press POWER. When the phone vibrates release all keys. If that still doesn't work, please try with the USB cable connected to the computer.

If that still doesn't work, the only way is to find the proper ROM for your phone and flash it using SP Flash Tool.

Today have seen this Rom but i wish to know if is compatible with my phone and is possible to manage the DualSim ?? (sms, calls, contacts, standby mode and all others functions of the 2 Sim)

This coocked Rom has the Data connection on first Sim 3G/Hsdpa and on the second Sim 2g ?

Can manage the two camera front and back ?

It's possible to use the italian language after installation ?

It's possible to use all the mobile operator or there are limits or locks ?

Please give me answer about my questions, thank you. Bye
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EzraKn:
Please read my answer in Red

But remind some H7300 machines have built-in analog TV function. You will lose it if the ROM here is installed. However, all other features will work fine.

I have posted instructions how to change partition sizes on russian forum. On my phone data partition now is about 330MB in size. If you don't want to touch system-partition you could still get ~50MB extra by just resizing cache-partition.

http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?p=534594#p534594

If your ROM is deodexed, another option to free up space would be to re-odex your ROM.

(Deodexing is very bad habit since a deodexed ROM wastes plenty space on data-partition, about ~50MB +)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I have already told you that there's no such thing as MTK6573, only MT6573. MTK is the short for MediaTek.

Is resizing a risky process? Will that affect my phone and rom? Will I be able update custom roms in future?
