I just switched my phone to Español in the language settings and all seems to be fine.

The keyboard displays like a normal english keyboard when writing texts but if you hold down the n key it turns to ñ.

The only problem similar to this I found is the one I mentioned earlier where 3G data stops working periodically.

The SIM card always works just sometimes mobile data doesn't work after switching back from wifi.

I'm still working on this.

This is just a common misunderstanding of what is being talked about.

The phone has 512MB of ROM space but this is subdivided into several partitions including system, data and cache.

Sometimes a site will talk about the internal memory size where they are only talking about the data partition which is usually around 250MB

Below is the size of the partitions on my phone right now with all the apps I have installed:

(The base ROM will have a lot more free space available)

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/system 200M 128M 71M 4096
/data 220M 180M 39M 4096
/cache 60M 1M 58M 4096

The data partition is where apps get installed on internal memory and is what most phones will report as internal memory size.

However apps can of course be moved to sdcard to keep the usage in that area low.

The partitions above can be formatted for different sizes through ClockworkMod Recovery before installing a new ROM but make sure you know what you are doing.

Check the GPS instructions in the first post for how to update the gps settings for your country.

You just need to replace the gps.conf file on your phone after installing the ROM to greatly reduce the time it takes to acquire a GPS fix.

I've tested several different versions of Flash Player from various sources including the one linked but none of them have ever worked on any of the chinese phones I've owned.

Make sure you test any sites with and without the flash plugin installed.

Sometimes you think it may be working but the page you look at loads the same without the flash app as well.

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about is a good site to test on.

If you see the animated F symbol instead of the static image then flash is working correctly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ratzenberger:
What a great job, Bunta!

Any news about overclock in these phones MTK6573?

I guess that kernel modified is needed, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
I haven't actually looked into that yet as I haven't had any problems running any apps or games so far with the stock CPU speed.

I guess it will probably be more necessary as we start to move to ICS based roms but I can look into it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
If by flash software you are talking about using something like ROM Manager to install the custom ROM then that will not work correctly on these phones.

You will need to follow the instructions in the first post to install a custom recovery partition for that to work.

For USB drivers I have not had any problem using the standard Android Composite drivers that come with the android sdk.

To check if the drivers are working correctly use the android sdk and run the command 'adb devices' to see if your phone is detected correctly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lurus92:
Very nice Rom, is far more fast than the stock one. I have only a problem: 3G connection doesn't work. It can be actived, but when I go into the browser it doesn't load anything. Do you know how to fix it?

What about a future Rom based on ICS? Would it be possible? Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
What model is your phone?

If you turn it off and remove the battery does it make any difference when you start up again?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lurus92:
Wow, now it works! I've done as you said and now it's all ok. Thank you very much! What about ICS?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
I wouldn't hold my breath too long if I were you ;)

There are options for making ROMs that have some of the ICS functionality but running full ICS will require having all the drivers and such that work correctly with that version.

I'll work on it as I'm able but I can't really give an expected due date.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
So what part of that is supposed to be the fix?

Copying the description and fingerprint from a Samsung Galaxy S ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lurus92:
No problem for the due date, it's a big thing that someone is working on the ICS upgrade for the H7300.

Another little question for you: I've seen that the accelerometer of my phone isn't working very well (I can see this in the Gallery app, when there is the 3D wall of photos, in some live wallpaper and in the games). Is there a way to calibrate it? If not, could you manage to insert an utility to do this in the next release of your ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
You could check if Engineering Mode has any options for that by dialling *#*#3646633#*#* on your phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
BTW, I finally purchased an app to test the paid app functionality and was able to download it without a problem at all.

Has anyone else tested market paid apps with my ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] florisz1:
workaround if mobile data connection doesn't put data through

When I have this, I just go into recovery mode and delete dalvic cache.

Make sure before you go into recovery wifi is off and your data connection is on (G or 3G/H) is displayed. (although no data is going through)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I regret to say, but don't expect any release of an ICS based ROM... MediaTek sources

are not available to the public

, or else I would have started working on that a long time ago.

HD7 changjiang

Hi,

I have the Changjiang HD7 with TV support, I really don't mind if the TV is working or not because in my country there is no Analog TV.

So can I install your ROM? Does it will works?

This phone is working with 850/2100 WCDMA. Does your ROM will still work with these 2 Bands?

Thank you for your answer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
You can always try it, just remember to perform a nandroid backup first ;)

However, I don't think the model with the TV will work properly with this ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davidk1970:
Thank you for the answer.

What about the 850/2100 wcdma bands?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gedx:

hello to everyone, and what about STAR A1200?

This is china android smartphone with same as HERO H7300 chip(MTK6573), and most other spec. are same.

Can I use the ROM's from this topick on A1200?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] danieltodorovt0:
Hey, I'm using the stock ROM and I'm trying to remove that ugly sense like lock screen and switch to the default. The phone is rooted, but I cannot find the .apk that should be removed. Thanks in advance :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
Hi everyone ...

I'm looking for some informations about the H7300 smartphone. Does this phone can make phone calls with the two SIM cards ? I know that only one can make 3G data connexion and it's good for me. But I want to make phone call with the two SIM cards and I want to receive and send message with the two SIM cards. Is it possible ?

Thanks for your answers ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jantle:
no need to delete something.

Within the file /system/build.prop there is an entry curlockscreen=x where x represents the type of lockscreen.

Change this entry to curlockscreen=1 to get the default lockscreen.

Beware: This entry might be there twice. You need to change the last one and its safe to remove the first one.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

of course :-)

both SIM cards are fully functional for voice calls, text messages ... It's just not possible to use both SIM cards for voice calls at the same time. So just

while

making a phone call on one SIM you can't be reached on the other SIM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
OK, thanks for this fast answer ! I can know buy my H7300 ...

SP flash tool ERROR

Hi all.

Please tell me that anybody had the same problem and solved it.

When I start SP flash everything is fine but when I try to load "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt" I get an error

after clicking OK twice, the SP flash crashes.

thanks for any advice.

__________________________________________________________________

Back again to tell to all. The problem was the win XP, have no clue why, but today I tried win7 and everything works like a charm.

sorry for mine english/not native speaker.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
That is perfectly normal.

The phone does not show charge status on the screen the entire time and will show current charge before turning off the screen and leaving the red LED on to show it's charging.

The reason for this is that there are a large number of people who charge their phone next to their bed at night (which is also their alarm) who would get very annoyed by the glow of the screen on the whole time.

If you want to send me this link I can take a look at what is required.

Never encountered that one.

The only thing I can suggest is to try downloading the scatter file again and re-trying.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] svitky:
thanks. All is fine with the SP flash tool now.

:mad: :mad: :confused: But I have bigger problem, which drives me crazy.

Mine 3 soft button on the bottom of the phone a acting strange.

sometimes works all 3, sometimes works only right one and sometimes they dont work at all, I thouht it is all software issue, but I reflashed the phone 3 times.

1st : original flash, 2nd flash bunta v4, 3rd some russian immage based on android 2.3.5

seems to me, that the 2.3.5 works better than all other, but it can be just for a while, this immage doesnot stuck so much, sofar.

the 1.st one(original china flash, was horrible, the soft keys didnot work most of the time.)

I hope You guis had the same problem and someone solved it, cause I am stuck, have no idea what I am gonna do. I am not so reach to leave it behind and buy another china **** :-(( If I new, I'd better buy the phone with waranty. :-((

thanks for now.good luck

(updates I made, i used /sdcard/update.zip method)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djelloul:
If I understand your description, I should watch a charging animation during the time the screen of the phone is switched ON.

If yes, it seems I've got a problem because there's absolutly no animation at all.

Charged or not, the phone always show me a half charged battery and this one doesn't have any mouvement...

I've just sent you a PM including the forum link cited in my last message.

This descrbe a method using the getevent function of the shell used on Android plateform.

On HTC phones, it seems the headset remote is considered as part of a virtual keyboard layout of the phone (qwerty.kl), and they do the same for power & volume buttons.

In our HD7, this is not so easy, because the headset button is not classed on the same event item.

It's attached to an "ACCDET" (!?) device and the event coming from it are active only when you receive or you open a call...

So the first problem is to know how to make events of the headset button works in all session of the phone usage and not only during a call.

Secondly, we need to find how to map correctly this new button to make it work as a "media & call" controller.

I retrieved the Mediatek MT6573 Technical Brief, and it seems the ACCDET name is the one of an analogic input/output (AIO) used on the phone.

Here's its technical definition: "Plug-in/out detection signal for headset".

This can makes sense, but I don't understand why they attach remote service to an event used for presence/absence detection...!?

I'm probably wrong on my analysis :o

I'm sorry but mine has no problem with these sensitive key...

At the beginning I taught they wasn't working properly, but in fact it was because I don't "target" them correctly. since then I never have problems at all, it was just a matter of adaptation.

Did you have the problem before flashing the phone?

If yes, you can flash as many img as you want, this will not solve the problem.

I've disassembled the phone 1 months ago for curiosity and I can tell you that the flex cable header connector for the 3 bottom buttons is easy to make it wrongly assembled because it's located just under the double SIM controller and the space there is very tight.

On my phone there was some adhesive to keep the connector fixed properly.

I'm not sure, but maybe this connector has moved or is moving when you use the phone.

It's just a proposition and this could be true only if you've got the problem since the beginning of usage of your phone.

I'm used to Chinese electronic product and this type of defect happens even if they put their "Quality Controled" sticker!

Just for information, my phone was missing 2 screws and this one was brand new when I checked it...

Keep us informed if we can help you there.

Hi

I am not very hapy reading this, but it is like it is, this is as always mine bad luck. :-(

I have opened the case/dispute on paypal, but it wont help me i think, because if they replace mine phone for free, i will stil have to pay levy? {customs fees} + shipping, and that in common will be more than 50% of the phone price, In that price i could have almost 1 and half of original HTC phone.

Ok thanks all of You.

good luck

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

The worst thing is that it is random, sometimes it works and sometimes not, It seemd to me that it is an RAM issue, because when I killed all aps in task killer, the keys started to work, after a while, phone locked.....when I unlocked it no response.

sometimes it is ok, i try to call, everything is fine and when I wanna leave dial pad, not even hammer would help. :-(

I am yust describing if someone needs more details.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
That doesn't sound good but seems likely more of a hardware problem with your phone rather than anything to do with the ROM.

Are you saying the keys stop working completely for a period of time or is it just if you push a key nothing happens but it works if you try again harder?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] svitky:
Hi(i am back again)

I can't try harder because those buttons are touch.

It acts strange as I said. sometimes the buttons are working like a charm, and sometimes the left one with BACK function is not working at all,but after a while after trying everything, pushing power, killing running apps..... the butons starts working, I realized, that the left button(back) sometimes reacts when i touch direct on an IKON (<-) fometimes it doesnot working by touching the arrow but it rorks after touching the egge of the mobile, where the glass ends(left from the arrow). Have no clue why it is acting that way.

-different toppic

Is there any way of blockig of auto start some apps? cause when the phone is turned on for a day or more, there are buch of dackround running aps,and when I kill all the touch buttons starts working(but fometimes thi kill all doesnot help) It seems like the phone has good and bad moments(days) like wemen :-))

thanks. good luck

h7300 touch soft keys problem

Hi

Today I took mine h7300 apart (not completely cause of waranty seal)

but I realized (not 110% sure), I am still in a testing procedure, that when I take off the GSM antena(take down the plastic cower) mine touch keys are working.

Let me prove it And I will post the results and solutions

Is your rom really based on Honeycomb? As far as I know, Android v3 is only for tablet. Can you share some screenshots o photos?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] svitky:
Hi all

one or two hours after.

It is not a interference issue, the buttons are not working even if the antena is replaced.

__________________________________________________________________________

It must be an software issue, seems to me that it is something like interupt issue, by touching button the interupt signal wont wake up part of HW or software routine. Have no idea wat is the h7300 HW and soft structure, I just compared it to (pic or atmel microcontrollers, if you guis know what I mean)

If anybody knows how the phone is built (SW, HW structure) let me know. Or is there any way to reflash everything? not just android update, cause android is kind of application layer, mine problem is deeper. (compairing to PC somewhere in BIOS)

thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Of course not. I have already said it before: MediaTek sources are not available to the public...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
I've got this fix integrated now so I will release it in my next ROM version.

I don't have one of these headsets to test it on so you will have to be the guinea pig for whether it works or not :P

I've also been working on updating the framework and baseband to newer ones available on the russian forums.

I actually prefer the older framework better but so far my testing has shown it to be a lot more stable and I have not had a problem with losing mobile data connection any more so it is definitely worth the upgrade. (Most people probably prefer the flashier new framework anyway)

I will release a new version with all of these fixes in a few days so look out for it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] djelloul:
Hi there!

I've seen your message and for testing purpose, I've downloaded and updated my phone with your V5 ROM.

Unfortnately, the headset is still working as before... :(

It seems you changed the qwerty.kl file, but in my opinion, it's not enough.

I'm surprised you don't have a headset with your phone...

Normally there's one included in the phone package at delivery.

Any hands-free headset with a 4 tip 3.5 jack connector should work on the phone.

To see if it's working, just make a call with the headset connected and push the button: the call should be paused.

Another push should unpause it.

A long press should hang up the call.

The problem with our HD7 is that these events are not catched by the system if there's no calling session active.

This point put appart, you've done a really good job on the GUI and everything is very shiny!

I feel like I received another brand new phone :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jantle:
Are you kidding?

You try to cheat other users by offering a ROM with an Android-Version that simply does not exist for this Phone, and then ask users to pay for a password for this false ROM!?

And now you are asking for help??

What about making a big donation to bunta126 (or to me) ? Maybe you will receive help then...

To make it clear for others: there is definitely no Honeycomb or whatever Android-Version for this phone. The latest one available is Gingerbread 2.3.5.

So whatever fodemi tells you... don't pay
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:

android.policy.jar and framework.jar contains my custom fixes for the reboot problem as well as the advanced power options (reboot to recovery option).

If you are not a coward, please admit that you have copied my work and leave the credits to my work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
That's unfortunate.

I'll have a play around then and try some tests with my headset... I originally thought you were using a different type of headset with music player buttons.

The fix I added was to support buttons for changing music tracks and such so probably won't work with a default headset that has a single button for muting calls but it should be a similar fix.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
You really think he is a big "ROMCook"?

He works for a company importing these phones, all he does is take the latest version with the latest drivers and such and then performs some standard functions on them that anyone would do when cooking a ROM for themselves:

and then he forces people to donate for him to give them the password for the ROM.

If you want to see some real cooks have look at a cyanogenmod ROM and see how much work they do without forcing anyone to donate for it.
