[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
I've already grabbed the official MSM7K liblights and pushed it to my git. But currently it's the same as the GB release one...

Indeed. Basically, the libcamera output was set into a glue, with a few minor changes. Best would be if we reversed and rewrote the whole libcamera as a HAL module, as it would mean total support of ICS

Yes, noticed the firmware download to it's own EEPROM too. Already in contact with NPX for further info (maybe a clean firmware?), but so far I think I've downloaded the Samsung firmware (oops), but the NFC chip still works.

Dunno which chips are in the GNex, thats why I've said GTab10.1 - it for sure has the 4330, has HC (soon Gingerbread), has CM9, and a whole forum's support. Can't be that bad ;D

Also about kernel: does it worth fiddling with the current one, instead of branching one of CodeAurora's MSM7k 3.x kernels, and pushing our driver changes into it? (Also, the board config) It would be a lot easier for ICS development if we had a proper underlying kernel. I bet that UMS, MTP and PTP won't work just because of the old kernel!

Oh and I think we should open a separate thread for dev talk... ;D

As I said, I suck with C. But, found out some stuff about lights, mostly the notification led.

Path: /sys/class/leds/led_notification/

Brightness: /sys/class/leds/led_notification/brightness

Mode: /sys/class/leds/led_notification/mode

Period(couldn't figure out what it is): /sys/class/leds/led_notification/period

Duty(neither this): /sys/class/leds/led_notification/duty

Default values are the following:

Period: 7

Duty: 70000

Mode: 1

Figured out, that mode changes the LED status (obviously :D). The mode file contains one number, from 0 to 4:

0 - LED is ON

1 - LED is OFF

2 - LED is on FAST BLINK

3 - LED is on SLOW BLINK

4 - LED is on BREATHE mode (slowly pulsing in and out)

Was looking through some liblights, but can't come up with a proper one :\

Just installed the AOKP rom. So far I like it. I know it isn't the final version so I'm not expecting it to be perfect, but I'm in setting right now and like I said so far so good.

Thanks guys.

After I set it up I'm going to see if it fixed the cold recovery boot problem I've been having.

Wow! There has got to be something either very wrongwith my phone or it's something Comviq has done to it(wouldn't suprise me one bit) and won't be fixed until I unlock it from the carrier. Still no cold boot into recovery and my GD phone go totally wiped of all settings.

Hi,

flashed fonix's cm9. Great, it boots and the UI is pretty fluid :-)

GSM works, but I can't config APN for 3G test.

BTW, now trying to build, using vendor and device tree from fonix git, and I get an error "VDEC_IOCTL_GET_DISABLE_DMX_SUPPORT was not declared in this scope". Something's obviously missing in the repo...

Did you get omx, and in this case, is it from https://github.com/OMX/repositories?

Vincent
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuss:
I'm still not sure what's going on here. Didn't you mention before that you are able to boot into CWM using adb reboot recovery but not using the volume up key? (what happens then?)

I think I forgot to mention something in my README; I did not build OMX (removed its Android.mk) as it seems to require some kernel backporting.

Regarding headers included in de device repo, they're not all in-sync with the kernel (audio, notably), something which needs to be resolved. Also there are two bogus headers included to keep CM build happy, someone introduced device-specific includes into the qcom audio code :\
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
@iuss

Your right, I can boot into recovery via adb. I can also boot into it via CWM rom manager. Still can't using vol. up method. In other words flashing this rom didn't make any change either way, far as that's concerned anyway.

BTW, this rom rocks. Once the bugs are worked out don't think I'll be looking to change. Unless there are updates made for this one.

Thanks again!

u can check power button by holding it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
Okay, so what you are saying is that it may me a hardware issue. I'll install the app and compare the reading to your own.

@mistercheese I get the same reading as you. I am really confused about this one. No matter what I've always been able to trouble shoot(with help of course) and fix any and all problems with any of my devices.Even rooting and installing CWM recovery on my Huawei U8650. And also my Arnova tablet for that matter(it's a piece of crap). So this is making me pull my hair out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistercheese:
i really have no clue then
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warsylep:
To add my 2 cents, in my phone i get the same values: up volume 24, power 26 and i also cant boot into recovery with vol up + power. if i do that it does a factory reset in the phone. this function is described in the user manual from alcatel.

I have flashed the custom CWM recovery available in this thread. still can't boot into recovery with physical keys. not an issue for me but just to add to the conversation.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
LOL No Problem. At this point I think you guys have gone way above and beyond the call of duty. :good:

I'll keep trying to track down the problem and let you know if I ever do. :rolleyes:

Till then thanks to you guys I can still do what I want to do, just not the way I want to do it. Which isn't a big deal. You guys rock! Thanks a lot for all your help and brain power. :good: :highfive: :D

when u adb reboot recovery

does it boot into cwm then?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Interesting thing, guys. I had the same on stock, the stock recovery coming back again and again, but after I've flashed CM9, nothing. Are you sure you wiped both system and custpack?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
Well I don't think it is the stock recovery 'cause before my phone re-boots and resets, I see a android with animation in the mid-section and at the bottom is what looks like a loading strip.

As for the wipes, what I did was format data,system and custpack (in that order) in the mounts section of CWM recovery after booting into it via rom manager. I didn't see any other way to do perform the wipes other than formatting. If here is another way please advise and I'll try it again that way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Then it shouldn't happen, something must restore the recovery on your devices...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
Did you flash ICS or AKOP? I flashed the AKOP...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
As I had to test before release, I've flashed both. And had the same effect: reboot to recovery (either from the UI, from ADB, or simply pressing volume up) resulted in booting to recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
Well I dl'd both so I'm gonna flash the ICS just for the hell of it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warsylep:
just an update regarding booting into recovery with vol up + power. I acidentalmente got it!

in my phone as soon as it is on, it vibrates briefely, the logo shows a couple of seconds and then vibrates a little longer. I powered the phone with just the power Button and release the power button and as soon as it vibrates the first Time, I press vol up until it vibrates the second time.

if you keep pressed vol up you go into factory reset, BUT if you release vol up by the second vibration you go into cwm recovery.

so:

- power phone with power Button alone and release it.

- As soon it vibrates Hit vol up.

- As soon as it vibrates the second time, release vol up

- cmw recovery :-)

hope this helps people that can't get into cwm recovery using Buttons
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
Well well well, looks like you have cracked the mystery!

How you figured that one out is beyond me. It's so different than any of the other devices I own. Thanks for sharing the solution. :good:

I see after booting into recovery this way at the bottom reads

CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4

E:Bad boot message

Mean anything to any of you guys??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuss:
Yup. I'm a bit hazy on the details, but I'm pretty sure it was the bootloader not zero'ing out the recovery boot type/message buffer before use.

Nothing to worry about - once I find some time I'll get to the bottom of it ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
Oh, I didn't mean to really bother anyone, I was just wondering.

I'm happy as hell now. : D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeasis:
So what to do?

Do i have to copy some file ro my sd or something like that before i can boot into cmw because the volume bottom up trick seems not to work here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1c3:
Hello,

sorry asking again, but still trying to cook cm9, I get a "cm9-.zip", but if I try to flash, CWM gives me a "status 7 error".

Googled this, it's updater-script related, but I can't find how is this script build.

In fact, fonix's zip script is way different from mine.

My question is, did you have to unpack, modify script and repack, or is there a way to change the script from build environnement/config variables?

Regards,

Vincent
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
I edited it by hand, but there is some way (have seen complex scripts on given devices where they needed modifications). Point is to remove the format() command (and I've replaced mount too), and use run_program("mke2fs","/dev/block/mmcblk0p4") instead.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tumaini418:
More stable build.....?

Say fonix232 and or iuss.

Which build would you say is more stable? Your ICS or AOKP build?

If that even applies at all that is.

Reason I ask is, I switched back to the stock rom. I had AOKP flashed but it was freezing among other problems, plus I use BT all the time. If in fact the ICS build is more stable I will try it, but of course there is no need if one is no more stable than the next.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuss:
I run my own ICS build, which is quite stable (apart from the panic mentioned in the README).

As Fonix didn't deviate much, his ICS build is probably equally stable..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Possibly, couldn't really boot yours though :\

Also, some more info about liblights. The tempfix works (keyboard lights up with screen), but apparently when the keyboard file is set in liblights, it won't call the keyboard function. If I set it to e.g. the notification LED, it is called, but bails out with error 13 (no access to notification LED control).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuss:
I have started a separate thread for 'development' (as earlier suggested by fonix232).

I suggest we move the technical/development stuff (CM9/AOKP development) over there, and keep this thread for general discussion/misc. questions.

(I've kicked things off by replying to post above, over in the new thread)

Ty for the help u guys provide

After i read some posts about cwm recovery i notice that some ppl have probs with the "keys game". When i try to do the cwm recovery i had some problems to load the image and then i had problems with the keys.

With me all go fine with this steps

1st - i download the iussus recovery-2012.06.09.img and saved on my Android SDK Tool, in my case the path is : C:\Users\z3u5\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools

2nd - i open cmd and i type:

"cd C:\Users\z3u5\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools"

Enter

then:fastboot boot recovery-2012.06.09.img should look like this

C:\Users\z3u5\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools\fastboot boot recovery-2012.06.09.img

Enter

then it says "wating for device"

3rd - turn on my phone with the volume down key + on\off key just until it vibrate for about 1 or 2 sec and i let it go.

4rd - i just plugin my phone via USB and it was there.

With me the issues were the path of the recovery image and the key combination, my phone is volume key down + on\off key.

Dont know why

Sry about some bad english type (im portuguese).

Ps. I also save the phone USB drivers on the paste:

C:\Users\z3u5\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

Went to buy one of these today and was happy to see it was both 850Mhz & 2100Mhz UMTS :D

however.... i thought id check on the development progress or possibility to root before i lept into this unit and bought it. And after reading here people cant even get root/no custom roms/Stock ICS in Sept... i decided im getting a Huawei Honor instead for the same price.

For those having trouble syncing, have you downloaded the Alcatel Android Manager from their website?? They also have software on the same page called One Touch Upgrade which Alcatel claims is to be used in flashing updates, maybe Roms too?

http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/download/ot-995.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petepc:
Hi there, I have tried to run the One Touch Upgrade - it is a reflashing utility, run the exe, and it just takes over the phone. I left the phone for about 10 minutes and it looked like it had frozen, pulled battery out of phone and now all ok again - software seems a bit dodgy though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whigga:
To add to this, I also ran the One Touch Upgrade 1.9.4 program. It was indeed quite an adventurous experience. While updating, the program was sorta flickering on my computer screen. Didn't really appear as a stable piece of software. Nevertheless the progress bar kept stuttering-on until it reached 100%. After finishing it said the phone would automatically reboot. Instead nothing happened, but the soft touchkeys and led light would stay on with a black screen. I was seriously worried that I bricked the phone. Crossed my fingers, took the battery out and rebooted. It took a while to reboot (just like any phone would do after flashing new firmware), but eventually all seemed normal again. Apart from everything being back to factory settings that is...

For reference this is the 'new' firmware:

Firmware: 2.3.6

Baseband: M8255A-ABBQMAZM-4.1.40T

Kernel: 2.6.35.11-per+android-bld@aclgcl-ubnt159#1

I thought I was on 2.3.5 before, but I'm not sure. Forgot to check. Yet, other owners (in Holland that is) who didn't ran the 'upgrade' told me that the 'new' firmware is exactly the same as on their phones. So, I guess indeed a reflashing utility rather than an update.

Fortunately, the phone is running just as well as it did before 'upgrading'. So if any of you daredevils want to try it out, go ahead but don't expect too much from it.

Hope to see ICS arriving soon!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattBLK:
Wow cheers Alcatel for publicly releasing dodgy software. Having its customers worry or have doubts whether the phone is now bricked because it didnt reboot as it said it would then making them do a battery pull...ffs

If the software was as unstable as you mentioned and it happened to crash during the 'update', its very likely the phone would be bricked!!. :eek:

Anyways... im assuming when you and pete plugged in the phone it updated android from Alcatels servers from your internet?? I didnt notice any firmware to DL from that site for the software to choose from.
