Ive finally managed to join the lewa forum, although communication is a little problematic as I speak no chinese.

I have however put in a couple of requests.

when adding widgets, the option of a vertical menu to be included as its very hard to tell widgets apart if they have long descriptions. Apparently this isnt a problem in chinese as most of the names are very short.

Have also requested an option to remove the icon description if needed. Now that we can theme all the icons, im working on a text icon set but obviously you dont want the description underneath then. Also asked if its possible to be able to change the number of icons per page ie. 4x4, 5x5, 3x4 etc.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] 123r4ka456:
can you request to change icon to a "deeper level"??

cause icon is only change at app drawer and homescreen

if you open recent apps(long press home button) the original icon is showed up.

btw, i was trying lastest firekernel with lastest version of this ROM, and i think there is no problem after all.......

when i try to edit my contacts, i get fc. i have done 2 clean wipes and still get this issue.

does anyone else get it?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] snowfire88:
I have been going through this thread to find something similar to a2sd. Last i checked using any method to shift data to sdcard messed up with the Lewa OTA updates. Is it still the case? I love this rom but i wish i could install more apps. Also have you guys checked this ram expansion method that these devs have made? I wish we could club that feature together with Lewa too. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Xperiencecyanogen/395619180456847 :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
i use s2e without any problems with ota updates.however. cwm partitions in ext3when you do a factory reset and lewa only seems to like s2e in ext4 mode, so after installing full install you have to partition on your pc to ext4.

but I've used s2e successfully for a few months

I just tried amarullz script and it gave me an ugly bootloop, so now you know guys, never try that script on this rom
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
yeh, had seen a couple of other people have problems with it.

Im using 2se from the app store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e&hl=en

Partition the sd card as EXT-4 (not ext 3) using something like minitool partition wizard (and label the partition sd-ext) http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html

## Note, if you do a factory reset at any point CWM will reformat the partition as ext-3 so you will have to reformat it again manually ##

install and run s2e and make sure you go into the settings and make sure you set it to ext4 mode

then reboot, maybe once, maybe twice, who knows.

Screenies. 1 showing the main interface 2 showing the settings dialog. As you can see, ive got over 300mb of apps sitting on my ext, 100mb of app data, and a 100mb dalvick. been running like that happily for months
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
They are basically just using virtual memory? Or SD-Ram if you will. And you can have virtual memory in lewa, its under system settings, performance. The default setting is about 32mb or 10% increase ish. But if you are going to use virtual memory you want a fast SD card, class 6 or 10.

That said its not really needed on the Ace tbh. I consistently run with about 150mb free ram which when you consider the ace only has 278mb ram is pretty good, the built in lewa ram optimisation is pretty good as long as you have your whitelist set up properly. If Lewa is only using 150mb of ram it really doesnt matter if its using 150mb of 278 or 150mb of 1024.. I can see Virtual Memory being useful under ICS as its demands are higher, but under cm7 roms im struggling to see the point.

@dimspace Thank you for the thorough explanation regarding everything i asked and then some more. Gonna make a nandroid backup and try s2e. Thanks a ton again! :) :good:

P.S: I tried that minimalist rom (it was an itch that wont go away) and it was quite zippy. Lewa seems a lil slow in comparison right now. But the aesthetic looks of Lewa and the constant and regular updates is what makes me come back to Lewa every single time. Lewa Rocks! :D

Was just reading the official changelog, when i stumbled onto this small gaffe by google translate :silly:

Better hire an exorcist before you flash this rom. :laugh:

But on a serious note, this last line brought me real joy.

One thing we can never get enough of is battery backup. Let's hope this stops people whining about battery wastage now. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
yeh, interesting that thats listed in the details for the "official stable" version, but theres nothing about s3850 power optimisation in the changelog for this weeks "development" ota.

Guess its see what happens monday, give the "stable" version a go and then decide which one to use on a daily basis, the "stable" that will updated once a month, or the "development" which will be updated once a week.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

OTA Updates with Custom Kernel.

There is a chance that tomorrows update may contain power or logo related Kernel updates, and so there is a chance that the OTA wont flash properly if you are running a custom kernel.

if you do have problems with the OTA here is a link to last weeks (20/7) full package on a fast mirror

http://android.dimspace.co.uk/LeWa_ROM_Cooper_12.07.20_10d36.zip

Download last weeks full package

Boot into CWM recovery

Clear Cache and Dalvick Cache

DO NOT DO FACTORY RESET, CLEAR ANY PARTITIONS ETC

Install last weeks full package and it will put your Kernel back to the default kernel. You should then be able to apply the OTA

This is only if the new OTA containts kernel updates and you are unable to apply the OTA due to that.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
I havnt yet noticed any difference apart from the frog logo changing. Album art seems a bit happier finally, power manager seems to be slightly different but not a lot, but then i was having no problems at all with the previous release.

Worth noting this version is now officially known as development version. The new public stable release is out on Monday.

Not sure wether we need seperate threads for the two versions or not, or people will just need to make it clear which version they are referring to.

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

Out of interesting, did you use official, or non official variation of firekernel.

Just tried here both unofficial oc and non oc and both gave me bootloops, got as far as lockscreen, failed to load lockscreen and rebooted.

not tried it yet using official CN variation.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] diegonnc:
since we are talking about exactly the same rom i dont think a new thread for it would be necessary.People will have to specify wich version they are referring and that should be enough

edit: does lewa come with adrenaline engine pre-installed?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] 123r4ka456:
the unofficial one OC version to be exact.....

maybe because I do full install and full wipe??

dunno....but until today it works fine, no bootloop:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
Nope. No extra scripts installed.

it does have its own built into cache cleaner/memory manager which works superbly well (as long as you set up your whitelist) as well as its own power manager.

unless you are a complete speed freak you shouldnt really need them. But the ace kernel (skynet) is a lot smoother than the original kernel that ships with lewa.

This is one of the worlds great mysteries. :D

It only appears on some contacts, most of my contacts dont have the chinese writing but a handful do, so its clearly something either in the contact file, or related to maybe missed calls, messages or something.

Still trying to work out exactly what causes that to appear on some contacts and not others.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
make sure a copy of the cover is in the folder directory of the album, named folder.jpg

that may work, if not, edit the mp3 tags and actually embed the album art in the mp3 tag, , you can use something like mp3tag http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ to edit the mp3 tags

One of the downsides of a chinese rom is it doesnt pick up some of the lesser known british artists

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
If you are already using the dev version and its stable and working for you, then theres no real reason to move to the stable version.

Its a bit unclear what the stable version contains, its almost an identical size to fridays (150kb difference) dev version, (the differences are in a handful of the app files, for instance dialler is a couple of k bigger in the stable version, ive just done a full comparison of every folder and file - worth noting the boot image is identical so assumedly even using the same kernel - really surprised they didnt update the kernel) but it certainly doesnt have any features that arent in the dev version, or that wont be in there by Friday.

For most of us, I dont think the stable version provides any use particularly. look at is as a release cycle of

Stable

beta (dev version)

beta

beta

beta

Stable

beta

etc

Most of us use the dev version happily, and its worth noting that you cant update them with each other (although im sure just a cache clean and full install will be fine, just no need to do a factory reset).

Basically the Chinese devs want to try and make lewa the #1 chinese rom, the chinese version of cyanogen (their words), so having a stable release is key to attract the average user. For me, and most people here, we will trundle along with the dev version and the regular friday updates.

Hard to tell, because mine spends most of its life plugged into the laptop. I have it set to go into power save mode from 2am to 10am, and its unplugged during that time and i lose 1 or 2% overnight, but thats with everything switched off.

Someone a few posts back did suggest another cm kernel thats working really well for them. not firekernel. another one.

im a bit sidetracked today. custom writing my very first proper lockscreen. All the icons are done, and the sliders are working, with four different sliders depending on calls etc. Just need to do the date and time, media player and im almost there.. its a big step up writing a lockscreen to just editing them. taken me about 5 hours to get this far.

got to say though, so far its really smooth. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dimspace:
Ah, ive been busy since.. V1 is done

This is my first attempt at building a lockscreen fully from scratch, and ive only been on android a couple of months, so its been a long job.

I guess you could call this a concept preview. It works fully, there are no bugs or anything, it does exactly what it is intended to do, BUT, there are few things I still want to improve. But its a start.

Link http://android.dimspace.co.uk/themes/multilockscreen_1_2.lwt

It comes with a basic set of Miui Icons, if you need more icons check my signature, but its not aimed as being a theme yet, purely a lockscreen.

Features

Five unlock options, camera, sms, phone, lewa music player, and unlock - I believe its the only lewa lockscreen to offer all five :D

nb: You may on the first use of each have to specify the default

Media controls either automatic when music playing or double tap the screen to make them appear

Missed call notifications

Unread Message Notifications

Date and Time in ENGLISH

Charging indicator

What I need to do

Set it so that when you slide an icon to the right the other icons remain in place

Have a destination animation rather than the current ugly arrows

Credits

I used mibadge as a template to learn how lockscreens are set up, and the media buttons/charging graphics are from mibadge.

Oh, and i appreciate there are countless dev's here building roms, apps and whatever else, ive done a lockscreen, but hell, everyones got to start somewhere :D
