iGO (and other SDcard2 issues)

Hi all

this is a (one of many) method to get iGO to work:

The issue is that iGO (and other apps like Sygic) expect the maps to be on the SDcard, and they are not aware there is a 2nd SD card. And iGO is not maintained, so we should not expect any updates on that.

There are several ways to solve it, but I currently advise/use this one:

- Install Script Manager called SManager

- Create a script named igo.sh into your igo directory, probably /mnt/sdcard2/igo with below code content

- If you have a different igo directory, modify as needed

- Toggle 'root' & 'boot' icons for this script

- You may also want to create an empty file called .nomedia in /mnt/sdcard2/igo

- Reboot -or- run the script from SManager

- Now, your sdcard2/igo content will virtually also appear on /sdcard/igo, and iGO will run as normal

- You can also, instead of auto-running at boot, create a shortcut widget to run the script at will

#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/igo
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard2/igo /mnt/sdcard/igo

Alternatively, you can also 'shadow' the entire sdcard2 into sdcard, just like it was with GB, but then you definitely want to create that .nomedia file, otherwise you will see all media (images, audio) twice in whatever mediaplayer you use

#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2

Theoretically, I could change the ROM so that it always (and not virtually) mounts sdcard2 into sdcard, just like it was on GB S14x, but it seems that in ICS it is normal to have two cards, so it would make this phone into a non-standard ICS, potentially giving other problems with other applications.

Probably the cleanest method would be to completely re-partition the phone, moving the 1.8GB sdcard to SYSTEM and USERDATA, so you *only* have one sdcard, the external one, card left, but I am expecting that would make the phone less compatible for future ROM updates, so I am also not currently advising that. (and it is rather more complex)

Furthermore, please note that if/when I make a next ROM, I am going to drop RootExplorer anyway and use SManager instead. Because I discovered that RootExplorer is a *paid* app, and no-one has any right to add it into a ROM anyway. I only did it because it was in the ROM my phone came with.

camera autofocus problem

hi everyone

i just got my lenovo, i tried both ICS and GB Rom, but my camera auto-focus is not working, does it has really auto-focus lens :) please confirm me and if possible attached any pic taken by 5mp back camera.

the two things realy disappoint me heart 1 camera and the 2nd mkv playback on HW :(

anyway waiting for some solution :)

Regards,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elemer82:
If you push the camera button, you can realise it has 2 positions:

if you press it half way down, than the camera will focus

If you press it all the way, you make the picture.

About the quality, I have to admit I used to have a Nokia 7610 Supernova with 3.2 MP camera and I liked those pictures more than this 5 MP , but it's not bad.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Timer2000:
I think the best method is to re -partition the phone. I need only one sd card . The userdata much bigger is very good.

ICS S306 feedback from Latvia

Confirming the post #145

Once more a very positive feedback coming from Etotalk S143 GB.

Cybermaus S306 1.0 and 1.2 update zips copied on the SD Card and started sequentially with CWM Touch.

After installation, reboot and application update could start to use ICS immediately.

Rooted, Googlemarket, locations are OK.

One remarrk only: Copilot Live application somehow "lost in translation".

Many thanks!

FDN

Does anyone have experience with the use of Fixed Dailing Numbers (FDN) and do we know the PIN2 of our phone? It make me crazy I sometimes use the wrong number when dailing someone and I hope FDN would limit my own failure...

Thnx!

ps. If you can't find this option btw, use these steps (ICS):

1. Open the Dialer app

2. Press Menu

3. Select settings

4. Scroll down

5. Select Fixed Dailing Numbers

6. Choose SIM1 or SIM2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leFloyd:
I didn't use FDN, yet, as ICS suggests which card was used most for every contact / number I dial. PIN2 is not of your phone, it is the 2nd PIN for your SIM. If you don't have one, you have to ask your provider.

A750 with s306 1.2 - cannot connect to 3g in Israel

Dear experts!

Just received my a750 and updated it till s306 1.2.

The setting are ok and 3g network is on, but when I try to use some network apps via 3g, i get an error that no network connection. All is fine via WIFI.

Status of the SIM is connected to 3g.

Will appreciate your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
@Yulius33

Country? Network? Operator?

Do you have a 3rd icon left of the two SIM radio-strength icons?

What is your setting in Setting->Sim Mgt->Data Conn

What is your APN in Settings->More->Mobile Networks->Access P. Names-><your SIM>

And most importantly: Did data work with this SIM in another phone, and how familiar are you with Android and setting up APN's?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Yulius33:
3g network connection

- yes. not familiar with setting the APN.

any suggestions?

thanks a lot!

Thanks! it works!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, APN should be: celcom3g

But I guess you found that already.

EDIT: created and uploaded ICS V1.3, which replaces the APN list with the latest from CM9

Also because my own provider (proximus Belgium) also was not in there, I had to manually add the APN myself too.

If you have a good working phone & 3G, no need to load V1.3, It includes V1.2, and additional to V1.2 actions, it only updates the APN list
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elemer82:
I found a HALF solution for the Caller ID bug fix (if your contacts are stored in an International format when they call you see their number not their name)

I installed Go Launcher EX and then GO Dialer EX.

Now if someone calls me, his name will not appear on the screen while he is ringing, but if you look at the call Log then there is the name.

As I said its a HALF solution.

Would be nice to have the full solution.

Chinese Weather

Without the roms here my phone would have been hard to handle!

I had some location issues (Somehow even with the 2.3.6 v1.2) which now (ICS V1.3) seem to have been solved!

Now I have some small language (or location?) issues I cannot seem to fix:

1. The calendar stays in Chinese. Somehow there are these Chinese characters that are always displayed. (It was also like this with the 2.3. v1.2).

2. The weather app stays in china. I cannot change my location to any none Chinese location.

Help would be very much appreciated. I am asking Noob questions, sorry, I watched the video and could not find an answer (or a question about this). I have tried morelocale 2 and it works lovely: menu's are now in my own language. However the calendar and weather are still Chinese.

Do I just need to start 'looking at' the gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip? If you could point me the way to getting 'normal' weather reports I would be very glad.

Some remarks:

In the 2.3.6 V1.2 I could change the top two leaves of the home screen clover! That was nice. This does not seem to work for me with the ICS V1.3.

I would love to see an original dutch dictionary some day (If anyone cooked a 100% Dutch rom, if there is such a thing, I would love to read about it).

The browser in ICS v1.3 is odd: it has settings as "clear all histroy" and "AndvanceSettings"; maybe change the browser?

I have added some text to your Installing instructions for ICS; I might be totally wrong though these are the steps I think I took, hope it helps (Lost some links due to noobness).

Instructions for installing A750_S306_120530_cybermaus_ICS_V1 (up to V1.3):

1. You can get all the files you need from the 4shared account (link lost). Save the "A750_S306_120530_cybermaus_ICS_V1.zip" zip file on the SD card (do not unzip this file!). This is the largest file and will be the base of the upgrade to ICS.

2. Also save the "A750_S306_120530_cybermaus_ICS_V1.3.zip" zip file on the SD card (do not unzip this file either. Use one of the earlier versions if that is what you want to install).

3. Flash (part of) your phone with the custom recovery rom. This will give you the needed update menu. Learn how to use the flash tool (link lost) and use the file A750_CWMR_Touch_recovery.rar which includes all you will need for this.

4. Your phone is ready to start updating to ICS! Boot into Recovery by holding volume down whilst pressing and holding the power button. You will see a menu allowing you to do all you need for this upgrade. Use the volume buttons to move up and down in the menu, use the on screen button on the right bottom to select.

5. It is wise to clear userdata and cache, especially if you come from any S14x GB. You can do this in the custom recovery menu.

6. First select and apply the V1 update, wait for it to complete. Then select and apply the V1.3 upgrade (or whatever version you choose).

7. Reboot, and wait for it to complete.

If you have already lost the recovery rom due to the S306 OTA update, reinstall it using the flash method from first post.

Do you have the called ID bug on the ICS ROM?!?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elemer82:
I am not an expert but I think that is how it's called.

Basically; I got around 300 contacts stored in contacts list in international format +44.... and if someone calls me than "078.... is calling" appears insted of "John is calling".

Do you know a fix for this?

That would be awesome. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
When I first got S305, I tested and it was not there. But just before I left, saw it happen once too.

Problem is, I have been abroad these past 3 weeks, spend a total of maybe 2x 12 hours in the home country, so I get all incoming calls in international format, and cannot even check whether the issue with CID exists or not.

It may be that S306 re-introduces the error. Or it could also be that somehow while applying GAPPS apps / removing China apps, some routine got broken, as when I originally tested for the CID, on a still a stock S305 ROM.

@ant00n;

Just install a different Weather and Calender app from the store. There are many around.

GAPPS is already integrated into the phone.

callendar

Hy

I must back @ant00n up a little, with the callendar issue. The name of days are somehow from system, in chinese. Or I have been chased of bad luck and the other two app I installed happend to have chinese name days :D

And, @ant00n, we could find the chinese guys who supply the info for that weather app, and talk them out to observe and implement in their sistem your home town. Or you could change the weather app like master @cybermaus said :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Really? That is interesting. I admit I do not use the calender myself, but had not realized that. Can you tell me which 2 calender apps you tried?

Who? What? Not sure if I know who that is?

Anyway, translating a ROM is not trivial. It may be worth the effort for core apps like Phone/MMS/Stk1/Stk2. And if you are correct, where-ever calender gets its strings from. But for something auxiliary like weather? Just find another widget somewhere.

BTW: there is one other annoying place with Chinese, not sure if you guys noticed. In the call-log, it sometimes list Chinese cities for phone numbers. If however I delete the city database, it shows the even longer and more anoying 'cannot find' string, so that is why I kept the Chinese city database on the phone.

Also, in regard to Multi-Lang:

I cannot (should not) test it myself, because I am traveling and should not experiment with an important work tool. However, EtoTalk released a S306 based multi-lang_by_Dean ROM, which I suspect may be a real multilang.

Therefore, if you install Etotalk S306, and next update it with 120429 ICS GAPPS and then also with my V1.3 (which should work to ensure location is fixed) you may have a much better language experience. (myself, I keep my phone on English anyway, even if it would support Dutch)

I would not mind at all if someone else would take the effort and risk of trying this, and providing us with a nice findings report. You will have to find it somewhere though, I did not find it on the web. If you bought the phone from them, they should give you a link anyway.

newbie question

Hi all,

Question mostly for the tech guru cybermaus: :)

Just got the Lenovo A750

Baseband version A750.H001 with

Soft Build number A750_S138_120309

I rooted it and added the google account as per instructions from

the site colonelzap.blogspot.de/2012/04/lenovo-a750-rooting-market-fix-add.html (not allowed to post external link)

(sorry, I hadn't found about xda-developers at that time :o)

Can I apply on top the A750_S148_120428_cybermaus_V1 ROM which I have downloaded already?

(Although in general the tweaking is ok to my taste, phone seems to disconnect sometimes from the networks. Both sims -different provider- go dead and it needs rebooting to reconnect).

Location Greece.

Thanks

I was using Cybermaus_GB until yesterday, my 3G was working fine.

I installed Cybermaus_ICS and updated with V1 and V1.2 and V1.3, then switched 3G on and its not working.

I know about Settings -->

Wireless and networks --> More --> Mobile Networks --> Acces Point Names --> <sim1 or sim2> --> Menu button --> New APN

And filled in with the correct network settings (O2-UK) the settings that used to work in the GB, but it doesn't connects in the new iScreamSandwitch.

Help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
"and I filled it with correct settings"

Perhaps, you could be so kind and TELL US WHICH SETTINGS!? Gee, how people try and make sure they cannot be helped. You took all that trouble to describe the menu option, and then NOT tell us what you found/inserted there?

Also O2-UK is rather vague, because they have several supscription types. And from what I see they are amoung the few operators who need users and passwords (ugly). Try all of these. Make sure you delete all other APN's before you try a new one. If non of them work, please call your O2 helpdesk and ask for the correct settings, and report back.

PS: anyone else having problems with V1.3 *after replacing sim cards* (because thats when the table is consulted, otherwise it will just keep the old settings). I would like some positive or negative feedback from people who swapped SIM's while on V1.3

Possibly the list from CM9 is not as good as I had hoped.

PPS: If you want to know the mcc/mnc of your SIM1, use this app. It shows it for both your 'home' net and for your 'roaming' net. How to get this for SIM2 I do not know. I was hoping to find it in MobileUncle utility, but could not find it.

Update from S148 to S306

Hi,

I got my phone from etotalk with 2.3.6. I followed the steps in post #2 today.

Looks like i retained all the apps that I got from etotalk...or i just missed a step(gah!?!?!)

- location services working (woohoo!)

- 3g data/wifi working (is the A750 wifi b/g/n or just b/g?)

- phone does not "stutter" and really smooth scrolling, was able to play 1G video HD files

- does not really like the iPhone 3gs bluetooth, can pair but cant really do anything else. can work with my laptop bluetooth though

- google play is working, but cant really say if there are missing apps.

- having this intermittent error about "unfortunately, exchange services has stopped.". any idea how to get rid of this?

Overall, i really like the update. Thanks cybermaus.

Hey I installed "android 4 ics messaging sms" app from play store and i believe it has fixed the caller id issue. I edited all my contacts to local format, and installed the app. Now when I receive a message or a call, the number is displayed as international format but the contact's name is recognized.

I do still get place names in the dialer app in Chinese tho. This is using cybermaus ics v.1.3.

Scratch that, it doesn't work after all...:mad:

I'm talking about Settings->Wlan->Advanced->WLAN binding of location

There I have "enable", "enter location action" and "faraway location action"...

yeah that was me referring to Llama. I use that for the Wlan switching purpose now. But I rather would use the built-in.

Location service is working for the most time, but it's not that relaiable as it used to be on my Xperia mini pro. There are hours where my "Beatiful widget" weather widget just don't know where I am. It says "N/A" or "Hamburg" but I'm still in Leipzig. Also when I use google maps, the range where I could be is several 100 meters, wheras the Xperia mini pro it was mostly below 50 meters.
