Question time!

I currently have a personal Hi and business Vodafone simcard in my smartphone. Hi uses the KPN network and Vodafone has it's own network. So I have two different networks on the Newman N1. Now Vodafone has a nice offer for a personal subscription so I want to switch to Vodafone. Will that work? Two simcards from the same provider?
[General Questions and Answers] gerstavros:
I think no, as the N1 has the same imei in the two slots, but try it

No ,as i don't have the phone, neither the roms. DIY and if you don't find the needed files, i 'll help you to make the rom;)
[General Questions and Answers] Tsurany:
Problem with trying is that if it doesn't work I'm stuck with it for a year ;)
[General Questions and Answers] hairclub:
Hi wesolutka,if You can,why dont you try to change camera drivers ?

So we can port JB on Newman

Thank You
[General Questions and Answers] netforce007:
it should not be a problem, as each SIM slot uses their own IMEI - I have same provider for my private and business SIM and it works without problems for months.
[General Questions and Answers] bigrammy:
Very interesting :victory: Let us know if you get the camera and gps working :good:

Thanks again. bigrammy.

Don't try to use stock rom camera drivers. It's all from ICS but we need drivers for JB. Most probably after copying your device will not start anymore. Of course you'll still be able to step into CWM ;)
[General Questions and Answers] bigrammy:
I will try to fix the camera but I must first get the phone off my wife :mad: who is reluctent to part with it so I can play with it :laugh: But for anyone who wants to have a go at fixing the camera IMPORTANT please see this thread first http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123239 @yuweng and @angel.grin have covered this just recently and yuweng is tops on mtk devices :angel:

I cannot be sure it will work on JB it's worth a shot. :good:

PS If it's helped hit there "Thanks" buttons too.
[General Questions and Answers] weimerd:
It's NOT working. We will need JB drivers for the camera.

I just tried it to make sure.

So to everybody: Don't try. If it would be so easy it would be already done in custom jb rom. We'll have to wait for some jb camera driver.
[General Questions and Answers] Broederbal:
i actually don't know if they are gonne make JB firmware.. look into the chinese forums, everone trys to fix the jbcamere if where lucky en someone succeed

where able to port roms up till 4.2 ?

i tryd...but its not that easy i guess :) those ported firmwares where uploaded

allready 2 weeks ago...

i guess its better to open an new threat about porting the camera

for help

btw you can still recreate the zip, and add the camera.apk from ics

in the zte is no camera.apk atached..

but still its gonne have to work with the jb cam otherwise we cant port, others
[General Questions and Answers] weimerd:
my friend: your words are somehow hidden to me ;)

We have to wait for JB drivers for the camera hardware. If the manufactor of the mobile is not willing to at least help a bit the port to 4.1 will not work. The main problem is that the hardware is unknown so you cannot use a driver from another 4.1

Most manufactors do not reveal which hardware they use. Some are revealing but are cheating in information so you also cannot trust in that. The camera won't be so exotic but unless somebody is trying all different drivers to find one matching we have to wait for the manufactor.

Hi ALL

I`ve just contacted Ubuntu IRC chat to ask about a port for Newman N1(Freelander i10):

<xaver_> hi all, can somebody tell me if MTK SoC powered chineese phones could get Ubuntu-Touch?

<xaver_> like Freelander i10, Jiayu G3 or Lenovo devices

<ogra_> xaver_, if they can run CM 10.1 they should work

<xaver_> hmmm, no CM 10.1 for it yet

<ogra_> h++ps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

<xaver_> it has 1GB RAM, 4GB eMMC, but as far as I understand it needs MTK + kernel sources for device?

<ogra_> well, it needs a port to CM 10.1 first

<ogra_> which indeed includes kernel sources

<xaver_> and a port needs kernel sources again?)))

<xaver_> no surces are available

<ogra_> thats a GPL violation

<xaver_> only stock compiled kernel and some pieces of kernel sources from a relative model

<ogra_> if there are really no sources at all anywheer, you should mail gpl-violations.org

<Namidairo> you ask them first

<ogra_> yeah, ask first, true

<Namidairo> if they ask you $30 for a cd...

<Namidairo> name and shame

<xaver_> but whom? MTK is SoC manufacturer

<xaver_> and I got a product based on it

<Namidairo> xaver_: whats the brand of your phone

<xaver_> Freelander i10 and its OEM version of Newman N1

<ogra_> xaver_, well, first mail the vendor of the phone, if they dont react try the SoC manufacturer, if they dont react either, report the violation

<Namidairo> if you're lucky the kernel for the other one might work.

<Namidairo> doubtful though

<xaver_> so, im not i think))) When I tried to use that I saw neither Bluetoth nor WiFi nor Touchscreen were working)

<Stskeeps> MTK's famously known for 'closed source' kernels

<Namidairo> i think gpl-violations are occupied atm

<Stskeeps> og china ..

<ogra_> oh

<Stskeeps> er, ogra_: china.. wild west, etc

<ogra_> yeah

<Namidairo> with some ego-lad who makes galaxy s3 kernels

<Stskeeps> ogra_: i've seen MTK devices in shops here in poland/europe though

<Stskeeps> but it isn't likely to yield much source if it was just bought from some chinese ODM

<ogra_> yeah, all in all sueing chinese manufaturers might be moot

Maybe someone knows how to contact Freelander Support, Newman Support or MTK support? :angel:

I`m ready to pay some $ to get sources

Hi gerstavros,

So what's needed to get the camera & gps to work with the JB ROM's :confused: correct me if I am wrong as I am no expert but are the drivers in the uboot.img and if so can someone not just copy the drivers from the stock ICS uboot.img to the JB uboot.img I think other things may have to be edited too such as boot.img and even the build.props :confused:

Do we need something specific from Newman or mediatek to get the JB ROM to work 100% :eek:

Lost, trying to find Imei

Lost my Newman N1 on a night out, wanting to temporarily brick it remotely through my provider but they require IMEI number and I can't for the life of me find it in the packaging (not helped by the manuals of course all being in chinese.)
[General Questions and Answers] gerstavros:
You should have keeped the labels and stickers from the package, with the imeis..
[General Questions and Answers] MioCZ:
IMEIs are in logs in CWM backups.

Provider will block your SIM by its IMSI, block android phone (Mainly MTK based) by IMEI which can by simply changed is nonsense, but if someone use it, it is a small chance to trace it.

So try it and wish you good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Georgie l:
Is that in the packaging from all suppliers? I thought I still had all the packing, but I guess I left some of it.

[General Questions and Answers] weimerd:
All ten (10) units of N1 are working here without problems. GPS fix is really fast. If yours is not working properly send it back and wait for replacement. Maybe ask them to upgrade to the new N1s directly :D

! The first GPS fix in lifetime of the Rom can take a while (like 15 minutes at free sight to satellites) ! I suggest to clear all caches incl. Dalvik cache, reboot and wait for gps fix. If after 15 minutes there is still no gps fix send the unit back to seller.

This problem is not specific to N1, N1 is quite good with gps.

Any news about JB?:eek:
[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
Forget JB for N1. They still struggling with JB on the N2. They will not put any cash or efforts into the N1 no more unless they will release the source to external developers, and it's more likely that I'll go to the moon and have a nice crap and come back, than seeing that happen.
[General Questions and Answers] weimerd:
Don't forget JB for N1 ! There is only the camera driver missing. It seems there is one driver out for testing in closed beta. Final version should come out end of March. The development will be integrated in lewaOS. So most probably lewaOS will update its ROM for N1 with update to JB first. :good:

We're talking about different things here. Lewa developers have not and will not receive any developer tools from Newman.

[General Questions and Answers] MioCZ:
This is problem is with all custom roms, every deleveloper force everything to latest version, and no one finish a fix all bugs in one version, so all custom roms are test only, no daily use. Or daily use with known bugs, but it is not optimal. I have tried donate developers and ask them to fix known bugs before merge new versions and code, but no results.
