Network Signal Speed Booster is an app that gives you an easy way to "reconnect" your phone to the best cell site available. When you turn on your phone, you usually get the best signal available in the area, this thing does exactly just that, by cycling the mobile phone radio modem most of the time it gets better signal than you currently have without the hassle of turning off your phone!

Some people wrote reviews and call this app 'magical', try for yourself, I bet you it's worth a try! ;)

One more thing, on the n8000 the data works but it says its always on edge, even though it seems like I'm getting 3g speed.

9220 clone

Hello engineers :)

I bought my copy of Star i9220 and I got big problem with GSM signal.

Outside everyting is OK signal is 2 bars minimum but if enter to house ... signal LOST, even in the car inside there is no GSM signal.

I dont know if any rom replacement can fix this issue, someone has the same problem ?
[Android General] nm_guy:
Hello there -- our devices have a lot in common but aren't exactly identical (I think). I know there are threads for i9220 out there -- probably a better shot there. Good luck!

More raw data from the ongoing saga

So...after thinking I'd finally cracked it, I realized I wasn't getting 3G data on my JBL2/Frankenrom setup (did this happen to anyone else?). I went through everything I could think of and finally decided it had to be an issue with the ROM. So ... I went ahead and flashed the 4.0.6 rom from the other thread, used its updates, and then -- and this is the part I think might help someone -- I used CWM's advanced restore function to write *only* the boot section of a backup I'd done of my previous setup (which you can trace out here in my previous posts).

As a result, I now seem to have a fully functional setup. Data, autofocus, Google Now, etc. (Until I realize something else is broken, probably.)

I'm not that crazy about the UI changes to the 4.0.6 rom (prefer the cleaner look of the stock), and it seems to chew through the battery quicker, and a couple of things are in Russian, but I'll take it for sure. Overall, it is a very complete interpretation.

And, some nice surprises in it as well: The front LED works!

Anyway, this is raw info ... put here in case it helps someone else piece things together.
[Android General] annettek:
thanks but i was looking for an edited sytemui ect to replace the stock one.
[Android General] nm_guy:
I'm using the 4.0.6 rom and it counts down in 1% increments. I'm not sure whether you might be able to swap out the pieces and build a new rom or even just a flashable piece or whether that's something that has to be set in the kernel.
[Android General] annettek:
can you make a backup of the rom and allow me to have a copy of the rom so i can flash it on my phone. i would be greatly appreciated.
[Android General] nm_guy:
The rom I've used is at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33174860&postcount=1 but just be careful that you know which phone you have to begin with. If you have a JBL2 phone, you'll have to flash a working boot image from a JBL2 rom to make it work (there is one here in the thread, or you can just use your own from a CWM backup).

I don't know what it will do to a JBL1 phone. :-/

Sorry if that's stuff you already know ... I just worry about messing up someone else's phone.
[Android General] annettek:
cool i had the iue once before on jbl1 and jbl2 i aved a copy of the boot files and flashed them and both worked again i also have backup from both phones if all goes wrong. thank you very much.:)
[Android General] nm_guy:
You bet--good luck! Like I said, I'm not so crazy about some of the other UI changes in this rom (I like the plain black of the stock), but everything works, and that what's counts. It seems stable and has some very nice touches, too.
[Android General] annettek:
my attempt was unsuccessful. the recovery does not work on my phone so i am unable to do it.

it would be great if some one could make a full backup of this rom installed using mtk droid tools or like the stock rom with scatter file and post it here so that others can just flash this rom easily using sp flash tool.as you would find many people don't have the understanding or know how to do it other wise.

thanks hope some one out there i able to do this to help others upgrade a well.

:)
[Android General] nm_guy:
Sorry to hear it. I can't recall which recovery I finally got to work, but I've been careful never to flash over it as I've gone. There are five or six different recoveries here.

I would be happy to do the droid tools thing except for a couple of things:

1. Not sure how to do it without saving my personal info in along with it, and really don't want to do that. Maybe someone can tell me?

2. Also a little unsure why it hasn't worked for you. One of the problems with doing something like this is how many different versions of the hardware are out there with the same name. My conglomeration of bits and pieces is so weird that it seems hard to believe it's really what you'd ultimately want.

That said, I'll help any way I can. Would it help if I pm'd you all of my steps?
[Android General] annettek:
if you were to use mtkdriod tools just delete nvram and data folders as that is where your info is store and not needed to restore, but the scatter file must work to re flash with sp tool. if the scatter file is incorrect it wont re flash.
[Android General] nm_guy:
This will be the first time I've extracted a rom via mtk tools. Does it create the scatterfile for me?
[Android General] annettek:
it is susposed to but i dont know exactly how true it is
[Android General] nm_guy:
Thanks. Haven't had a chance to do this yet, but will ASAP. Meanwhile, thought of another issue: I've used the patch that makes a 2GB partition for /data. I am not sure whether the installer partitions as it installs or whether you'd have to make your drive space match that first. I guess you'd know pretty quickly!
[Android General] nm_guy:
Hey, I don't see a way in either SP Flash or SP-MDT to actually _extract_ a ROM. Should I make a CWM backup and then pull out the personal data? I won't have a scatter file then; not sure how to get one.
[Android General] annettek:
I am not sure. If you use mtk tools you can extract it. Even if you send me the recovery image from that and I will try to flash only that as the recovery image you have works. I don't know I am not an expert like you and will try anyting to get it to work. I know all the other roms on this site don't eork unlesd I usr my boot files so my phone may be wierd like yours.
[Android General] inamie:
What is your original stock rom? if you wanna change the battery percentage, maybe can get it from russian forum but need the correct stock rom code and using Sysappremover to restore the related file.

There is a way to run other phone system on your device( must have same spesification), but it take a few hard step to compile.. I'm using N8000_jbl2_20120807 on my Star N810 (1001Mhz) and Dapeng A9230+ (1200Mhz) without having problem with autofocus.

N810 - Original stock rom running 4.0.4 but cannot set Governer Ondemand and will reset after reboot.

Dapeng A9230+ still running 4.0.3 but speed 1200Mhz.

Adapt the system file from N8000_JBL2 makes my N810 can set governer performance to on demand and my Dapeng A9230+ run 4.0.4 with same speed 1200Mhz..

Even mod ICS 4.0.6 v3 by Alexey Arsenev (with transparency) also can be ported to our device without problem with autofocus, but i hate the screen/dialer will shrink (not center) if we playing with LCD Density.. Latest ROM doesnt have this problem.

:good:
[Android General] annettek:
The rom I am currently using was from a russian site

E1808_v75_jbl2_12807 is the one I flashed to make it android 4.0.4
[Android General] inamie:
so your original stock rom? jbl2 from russian site got problem with wifi.. but can fix.. the rom are ready with modified battery percentage...theres 2 option, circle or bar type..
[Android General] annettek:
Circle
[Android General] inamie:
Circle battery for mod s_20120807_jbl2.zip

Do not attemp to flash your phone if original stock ROM not JBL2..

If you are using s_20120807_jbl2.zip thru CWM from russian site, this file suitable for you..

For circle batteries, Manually can do like this:

1. Root phone with SystemAppRemover.

2. Place SystemUI.apk on sdcard/SystemAppBackup/

3. Open SystemAppRemover-->Restore Apps-->(select SystemUI.apk)

4. Open RootExplore-->system-->app-->(change permission on SystemUI.apk to rw-r--r--

5. Reboot phone.

Or

If you are using standard e1808_v75_20120708 (flash tool), need to recompile framework + systemUI and install update.zip thru CWM.

Or

recompile whole ROM as update.zip

Would this by chance work to replace the clock with seconds in Alexey's 4.0.6 rom? I've been trying to piece together the process but having trouble with the translations from the Russian site. Thanks!
[Android General] inamie:
Nope.. dont simpy mess the system file on 4.0.6.. Too many modification (apk & odex).. if you have v2 (without transparency), its normal clock.. but update to v3(Transparency), clock come with seconds..

Certain file related to each other like Setting,SystemUi, Framework-res, Phone, Contacts & etc...Already made it for my N810 and works(clock with seconds). Myself personally pm him(Alexey) asking question. Maybe you can PM him direct..

Now using N810 with N8000_JBL2 since its more stable..
[Android General] nm_guy:
This is an incredibly helpful answer -- thank you!

I wonder if I could go back and flash v2 over v3 and keep my own data (i.e., remove the transparency add-on). May try...

Q: Is the n810 the same phone as the star n8000?
[Android General] inamie:
I Just PM Alexey, Wait for his answer regarding clock with seconds..

N810 smaller (MiniNote) 4.3' same spec...

I own Star N810, Star N8000 & Dapeng A9230+..

To keep data:

Nandroid backup 406v3..

2012-11-XX.XX.XX.XX (Folder 1)

cache.ext4.tar

data.ext4.tar

nandroid.md5

system.ext4.tar

Nandroid backup 406v2

2012-11-YY.YY.YY.YY (Folder 2)

cache.ext4.tar

data.ext4.tar

nandroid.md5

system.ext4.tar

1. Open nandroid.md5 (folder 2) with notepad or notepad ++

eg:

b8059e22453f85f094fdc8f92e54c433 cache.ext4.tar

f73c14575f1a11aac17de9a6501360ba data.ext4.tar

a437f8d94761f8e1612ab8c6573252f5 .android_secure.vfat.tar

2. Copy and replace the red string on nandroid.md5 on folder 2 to nandroid.md5 on folder 1 and save.

3. Copy and replace "system.ext4.tar" from folder 2 to folder 1

4. Delete or backup folder 2

5. Nandroid restore folder 1

solution i have done...........

take back up.(app and sys data (with titanium backup)).

install Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_ICS_V.08.zip (downloaded some where unclemobile.com)

it will create 2 GB internal partition and your SD card as normal.

reinstall your backup.

Hello guys when i flash my device with the new 12 June firmware (20120612_e1808_v75_jbl1)

will i need to do anything else?.Has anyone made a custom rom with everything included (if not lets do it baby using 12/06)so no need to keep using patches or is the 12 june completely sorted?.

and do i need the 2gb partition patch?if so can someone post a link please as i see a few folks want it.

would be good to have the latest firmware in custom rom with the partition done and rooted and all sorted a one time flash and off you go..and with a custom recovery just update it via sd card..How good would that be....

SIM card and sound recording problem!

Hello!

I'm sorry, I can not Angol well, so I use the Google translator.

I installed the ROM flashing e1808_v75_jbl2_120807 SP_MDT phot software program.

Unfortunately, there are two big problems! :(

- Not detected, the system does not see the SIM card (only in Hungarian T-Mobile SIM card to try).

- Video recording is not picking up the sound properly, but rapid popping sounds at the beginning of the recording, the recording and then silence.

ClockworkMod Recovery is installed. How to Improve the two big errors?

Can anyone Provide a fix (if possible harm frisíthessem update.zip format recovery mode)?

You may already have jbl3 or CyanogenMod 9 or 10 on this phone?

Or a ROM, which is 4.0.6, and speaks Hungarian, Hungarian accept the T-Mobile SIM card, good camera / voice recording, Micro SD card take priority?

I hope it is not impossible request!
