AlcaBean - Release

Hello, i´m a german 991D (Dual-SIM) User. :rolleyes:

I use the Stock ROM, rooted Device, with Link2SD. So i have more internal Memory.:good:

I don´t like the Stock ROM Style, so i try the Jeffta ROM 1.1.

Maybe i don´t like the Style... :rolleyes: sorry

I search for a ROM in Jelly Bean Style...;)

Please release AlcaBean (Test) Version !

Hello.

Can you tell me more details about your installation?

Do you have FAT32 partition or any EXT - in this case, what script have you installed?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3rix:
When you root your device and install link2sd, need to make a partition, if your sd card is less than 2 gb, you can make a Ext partition, if sd card is more than 2 gb, you can make a fat32 partition and just select the type the first time you open link2sd..... you dont need any script, well I dont use it with this apk.....

I wait this answer your question C=
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgama:
The need for... Spaaace!

Thanks for your reply.

I´ve already did it, but having problems with stock rom + fat32 partition, after a few days phone becomes unstable, after a few restarts the device and links start to fail, even if I re create scripts, it always ends in boot freeze and need to call for an OTU recover... So, always curious if I see a solution that really works stable on this DROID.

but, correct me if I´m wrong please, EXT partitions only supported in stock rom with scripts, right? Always noted phone faster with EXT2 instead of FAT32.

if EXT2 + yuweng script in stock rom, got the internal memory merged with EXT2 partition, BUT when total apps installed get around 200mb the phone says to me there is no more space to install new apps, even when it show me the total internal memory available of 1Gb!! What about that??

If EXT2 + JEFFTA skriptz for stock rom, same behavior as with fat32 - of course, in this case I have uninstalled apps2sd (because it did nothing, never tried to move dalvik to SD EXT because of the experience I describe on the bellow paragraph) and worked with link2sd

Previous of all that, I´ve tried also on JEFFTA ROM (1.1 dual sim) + JEFFTA SKRIPTZ + EXT2 the option on A2SDGUI move dalvik cache to SD ext, after press "move and rebuild" phone restarted, got stuck on boot screen for about 1 hour, battery run out, SD card toasted with I/O error since then, couldn´t recover it even with the almighty Gparted. Followed this instructions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40875008&postcount=361. Can you tell me if something is wrong here?

As you see, I have no luck with the attempts for more space, now using STOCK ROM + Link2sd ONLY to uninstall system apps (with success) and app diet with the few space left, only 22Mb free space left with the apps I can´t dismiss... and uninstalling and re installing some others as I need them...

I recently created a beta, but i have problems with the installer..

Because i don't want to brick some devices like recent rom :D

Will create a own thread later :)

Some infos:

- Trying to include Updating over the air :)

- Statusbar & notification pulldown is now 99,999999% 4.1 Jelly Bean like, no difference, just no swipe to remove :/

- OWN Voice Assistant

- Recreated Android 4.2 Camera 95%

- Included 4.1 Calculator, Speech Recorder

I'm recreating every app myself, so i don't use Google Code or just Mod the images! They're created with eclipse like other Apps! I don't include apps from other developers like other roms, anything is my own work! Sorry for the long waiting, i'm currently working on a special feature :)

Edit: Ahh by the way:

- Replaced 2nd Bootlogo (the logo which comes after the android logo and haven't an animation)

- AlcaBean Wallpapers (designed by me)

- Jelly Bean Icons

- Beats audio, Sony xLoad Engine & Sony Bravia Engine

- DSP Manager

DDDamn!

StockROM+link2sd+fat32 partition = slow droid! takes a million years to open a app!

JefftaROM1.1+link2sd+fat32 partition = little faster, but again still slow, sometimes half minute to open a app, yet it runs smooth after this. Closing the app and return to launcher is painful slow...

This happens after installing a few apps (about 200Mb on sd partition) and some restarts, when fresh installed ROM and ROOTED the phone is really smooth and fast. And why do I restart the phone so many times? Because is the only way to get it faster, to run smoother p. ex. Sygic or Angry Birds, only good after that restart. Couldn´t so far isolate a possible app that cause this because it just happens a few days after use. Have a Class10 UHS-1 lightning fast Samsung TF card, so don´t know what is wrong with my phone - all I read on posts is good experiences. I´ve noticed good speed on my phone when used JEFFTA ROM 1.1 + SKRIPTZ + Link2SD on EXT2 partition, but after a week or so it becomes unstable, ending with boot freeze and OTU recover...

What do it need? Some task killer app? Vitamins? Witchcraft???? Galaxy S4??? lol lol lol

Oh well, waiting that Gradu or Alcabean ROMs work on 991D and make this guy better...

What do you expect? This is the kernel source, but until we cannot pull the partitions from the phone, and boot it to bootloader(fastboot) mode, we are stuck.

I succeeded the communication between my pc and the phone, but only windows, under linux the system cannot identify the phone as adb comatibile device, so it's just listed in lsusb, but not works with adb / fastboot.

I've tried to pull the partitions, but I cannot figure out why is this not possible, i have been did this many times, on my other android powered phones.

If i could find a way to pull the boot partition, and flash it back the device can be rootable. Just have to rewrite the default.prop, and / or init.rc (at the mountpoints section) and everything will be fine.

So if sbdy can make it (bootloader mode), please tell me how.

I found the recovery mode, and the factory test mode. Under recovery mode the devices was unrecogniseable, but it can be handled by the phone buttons.

With the factory test mode, the phone just can navigate, but none of the menupoints were working, i had to pulled the battery, and restart the phone manually.

If I tried to boot the phone to bootloader manually with adb reboot-bootloader command, it's just, waited some second, my os show the device driver not found etc., and the phone restarted itself, and started to loading normally.

So that's the 'short' story, i hope that sbdy can help me with this.

I've tried the drivers from the tutorial, but no success, It's not compatibile with my device, I tried it under Windows 7 and Windows XP.

The mysterious thing is I have adb access under XP (virtual), but under Windows 7 (host OS) cannot access my phone via adb...

I think I have driver issues again...but I don't know why.

I booted into Factory Mode, and now I have this device. Is that correct?

MTK_USB_COM

If it's correct, and works I can start working with the boot.img, but I need a correct scatter file.

Custom Kernel!

Fatal change! I don't think i'll ever be able to fix and upload the kernel. Everyone needs to change his own kernel to ad swap support. I'll post some later instructions how to do that.

Please take your thank you away, because i didn't deserve them.

Thanks to [tutorial]: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748297

I have figured out how to add swap and over(under)clock support.

After I patched the kernel Swap is stable but overclocking doesn't work properly(screen flicks and after a min. device reboots).

I also have another problem, I can't upload this kernel(it overwrites some required files so you can't connect to a cellular netwrk).

And another problem, there is no support for dual sim version!

I will figure out how to fix overclocking and upload my custom kernel BUT it can take a few months. I'll promise that i'll upload the kernel between

now

and

august

(31) 2013.

If some of you knows some more about kernel editing i would advise the tutorial. Maybe you can make it work and upload it faster than me...

If you can't wait i'll advice you to buy a Samsung Galaxy Y with the Nemesis Phoenix rom and kernel. It's cheaper, swappable and overclockable.
