Just checked the last MIUI (beta3) ROM yesterday:

-I couldn't get 3G data, a message poped that i've reached a data usage-limit, but rom crashed when I tried to change it from there, and settings for it was nowhere to be found through the settings menu.

- too many chinese apps, and built in security apps that i couldn't understand what is their purpose is, due to language difference... :D (however, it's possible to just disable them)

anyway,I guess I'm just used to the stock ROM look, so i decided to go back from MIUI and check the russian forum custom ROM on my way back :)

Installed it and everything works perfectly.

it has many additions built in it, such as the Viper4android, which can boost the headphone volume, and the MobileUncle tools.

Lock screen circle has both Call and SMS (Gommers V4 has only unlock and camera)

Battery drain seems normal and GPS locks after a minute or so.

It only has English and Russian as system language, but has all language keyboards available.

The ROM can be found HERE

Use Titanium Backup to backup all apps and their data and the change will be seamless.

Hey Guys

I have a problem with my Newman n1

i set the alarm every day at 8:00 8:10 ... 9:00

and when i wake up and want to shutdown the alarm i can't get the screen to turn on

i have the led above the screen in Green and when i press the power button the screen does not turn on so i can't get the alarm off

and i have to get the battery off the phone in order to shut the alarm

please help

note: i use Nova launcher (i don't know if it is related) with gommers rom V6
[General Questions and Answers] hed190:
Maybe it's because of that launcher, i use the alarm a lot and don't have any problem, but i don't use any launcher, just thelauncher that comes with the ROM, try to uninstall that launcher and put an alarm to a few minutes later to see if that works, than tell us ;)

Hello mate,

I have downloaded the sony rom. But since it's bigger than 200 mb I couldn't upload it to my mediafire account. You should try a download manager. I am using idm, it works great. Or if you know any online storage site allowing bigger file uploads, I will gladly give it a try.

Sony Rom

Hi dear kra_ppo,

Yes it is built on 4.0.4 and it is rooted. It supports dual sim, but since I only use one sim, I don't know if there is any difference on that part.

It has only two Chinese apps. I was able to uninstall one of them. The other one was changed as a system app. Google Play, Root Explorer, Torch, Wireless Input Device (haven't tried yet) and Terminal Emulator come preinstalled. It has Dutch, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and 4-5 other languages.

I was using Lewa rom (first, pure version) and was very pleased with it. Just wanted to try this rom. Screen is much more responsive now. It is definitely better than stock rom/UI/dialer etc. Internal storage is 2.46 gb. Key buttons light up on touch. Sony's music player and gallery app are very fancy.

Only problem I have encountered so for is the FM. It doesn't work. I don't use it, but I thought I should mention it. I haven't tried GPS yet, and don't know whether the battery life will be better or not either. I will try to give an update in a few days.

Cheers,
[General Questions and Answers] kra_ppo:
Thank you patanol!

What's up with the CPU?

Only 1001mhz and deepsleep or are there any different values between appearing?

No undeleteble chinese numbers in the list of tel. numbers like reported in the lewa-Roms?
[General Questions and Answers] Margitili:
I had high battery consumption with Sony-Rom.

Any keyboard doesn't work.....Rom freeze
[General Questions and Answers] Patanol:
@ kra_ppo

You are welcome. Phone is on about 45 minutes now. And CPU spy shows %29 deep sleep, %40 250 mhz, %28 1001 mhz. Other frequencies seem to work only 10 or 20 seconds. But I believe this rom might solve some problems. While installing the rom, I read a line about kernel. Probably this rom uses a different one (version is 3.0.13). This might also be a solution to the annoyingly long charging process. I wish I bought a wall charger.

For your other question; I haven't seen any Chinese numbers in the contacts. If I am not mistaken they were showing up when you press some specific number on one version of Lewa rom. If you remember it, I will check it out.

I am now calibrating the battery. It's own circular battery indicator once stuck at %100 and once on %85. Hope it will show the right information after calibration. By the way the default keyboard (Xperia Chinese keyboard) stopped 2 or 3 times. Now I use swiftkey which is better than the default in my opinion.

Post #870 wesolutka

Btw.: Gommers1978 rom V6 uses the same kernel: 3.0.13
[General Questions and Answers] Patanol:
.

No number comes up :good:

So the frequencies aren't related to the kernel.

By the way will Gommers publish V7? Or are there any developers amoung us? They might shed some light on these problems. Would reallt appreciate it. :highfive:
[General Questions and Answers] kra_ppo:
gommers1978 actually just uses the phone, no need to make a v7- didn't he said he has no problem with battery drain...?!

I respect his decision. He made a good job, but there is still this annoying battery issue to solve.
[General Questions and Answers] eLeKtriK EyE:
I also had heating problems with gommers v6 rom that I tried - no deep sleep whatever I did. So I went back to etotalk MOD rom 1.0.5 which strangely works great, apart from the known CID problem.

Also, gommers ROM do not have localization for apks such as Contacts, Phone etc... If anyone wants to add these, I can send the apprpriate apk files or their values-xx folders.

How about if you reinstall Gommers V6 rom?
[General Questions and Answers] raby500:
that's a good option but if i will install a rom i will not choose gommers v6

do u know a good rom other than gommers and it does not have to be multi-language

(only need system in English)
[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
Well Gommers V6 has worked great for me, so far. People reported that Sony ROM works good and also try latest LEWA. I don't think my next phone will be Newman N1, since a pretty bad support for it. My wife has an UMI X1 and there's great support for it in terms that they released JB and that resolved a lot of things she had with ICS. If Newman could get their s.h.i.t togehter and release a JB and support it I think we'd have a great phone.
[General Questions and Answers] raby500:
well newman is a good phone for the price and the support for it is done by the owners and not the company which is not so okay

but at least we have a bit of support.

and about Jelly Bean i don't know if we sill ever get any

i hope we do

i will try one of the roms and update you
[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
True, this forum is a god sent. I also have my doubts about seeing a JB update since Newman are hard at work with their new phone, which I won't buy anyway. The next phones will be with a quicker CPU but I really would like to see an improvement to the battery longevity, which will probably happen in 2013. :D

EDIT1: Also when you have flashed a new ROM let the phone be for 10 minutes or so, so all configuration in the background are installed without any interruption.
[General Questions and Answers] eLeKtriK EyE:
It's kernel ver. 3.0.13. with custom build ver. 20120815.194132.

I really am happy with this build, despite it is old. The only problem is CID, which requires deodexing and tweaking some stock apks if I'm not mistaken so I'll live with it for now.

On a totally different subject, does anyone know of any FM Radio App working with Mediatek phones like ours? The stock one is a piece of crap.

[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
Hi everyone,

For your knowledge:

The kernel of the Sony ROM is the same as the Kernel of the Newman 1.0.9 Rom and the Gommers Rom.

The only difference between the Sony Kernel and the Gommers Kernel is that the Gommers supports init.d to turn the soft keys backlights on when the screen is active this is done with the script "99KeybLightOn" in /system/etc/init.d and I think the heating problem is caused by this.

hed190 is testing some changes made by me and if all goes well I make available an update for all.
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
The heating and CPU governator (only 1001 and deepsleep) problem is caused by the init.d script "99KeybLightOn" in gommers Rom.

To solve this problem delete the script "99KeybLightOn" from /system/etc/init.d and install this application "Keyboard backlight controller". (Thanks to Hed190 by the time he spent in testing).

I will try a better solution for the Soft-Keys backlight.

Happy New Year for all.

[General Questions and Answers] wesolutka:
No, It is not true, only use deepsleep, 250 and 1000. Same was before in v4 and v5, because v6 changelog: add light fix (button lights on when screen is on) by back37 on russian forum.

Now IT is interesting for me, file 70cputweak in this folder. Looks like, gpu is underclocked when battery is lower than 35%
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
ivanaki is right all frequencies are used but 1001, 250 and deepsleep are more used than the others.
[General Questions and Answers] IcedFlame:
I can confirm that phone is using all the frequencies, but the fact is that deep sleep, 250 and 1 ghz are most frequently used. I tested this by limiting the cpu clock with SetCPU, and it's working fine.

[General Questions and Answers] wesolutka:
Most frequently? Guys, use all freq - it is dynamically change frequency to CPU load, not only 3min in 48h of using phone for others than 1GHz and 250MHz :)

Hi guys,

Does anybody have an MHL adaptor? A working one :cyclops: cause i looked around and it seems like most ICS devices can't use one anymore. most say they had them working then, after the ICS update, they stopped. can somebody get the MHL drivers from a nexus ROM?

[General Questions and Answers] wesolutka:
Hybrid,ondemand,powersafe, on every governor is the same, works 1GHz/250MHz, all others freq are only exist but not works long enough. Same on every rom, because this is kernels bug or defected mtk cpu driver.

We must wait for 3.4.0 kernel which is standard for jb roms on other mtktk6577 phones. Maybe this resolve this problem....maybe.
[General Questions and Answers] kra_ppo:
While charging the CPU is always on 1001.

After deleting the "button back light fix" the CPU stays longer in deep sleep status.

Hope a new kernel will solve the problems.

Need help please

I got a Newman N1 please help me.

I got it from Etotalk with their mod which includes:

-Rooted

-Unlocked

-Italian Language

-No chinese apps

If i update to official updated firmware, will be phone be locked again and unrooted?

How can i update? How can i enter in the recovery mode? How can i change the recovery? How can i make a full backup of the old rom (as i did with my desire from clockwork recovery), if i do the backup with titanium backup and then flash to a new firmware, will titanium backup help me to restore THE WHOLE PHONE to its previous state including rom apps and settings?

Need some hints just to start please...

1) I have problems with battery too...

2) And another HUGE PROBLEM is that i cannot install additional datas on external sd card, for example if i install a game that requires 2gb additional data it wants to automatically download them on the internal sd card and it says i don't have enough space... i want all additional datas to be downloaded by default on the second sd card.

3) Also i have problems installing apps, it says they are not compatible with my device... even simple and famous apps such as VIBER!!!!! How can i solve this?????
[General Questions and Answers] kkricardokaka95:
If you update to official ROM you will most definitely lose root and everything. You'll go back to the base version. Chinese I.e.

1) since you are rooted install setcpu and change the governor to on demand. that should help battery problems

2)the data should automatically go to the SD card. At least it does in my friends Newman.

3)flash the latest ics gapps.. that'll take care of that.

Hope I helped! If I did gimme a (Y) :)
[General Questions and Answers] devilmc:
Yes my dear friend you helped a lot simply but not letting me feel alone at the moment :)

Now i go test and check your suggestions, but apologize if i already make new questions :)

1) Where do i find the LATEST gapps? How i install it?

2) Data doesn't go automatically on SD card and this is one of the reasons why i want to reinstall everything

3) How can i enter in recover and flash the updated firmware? Where do I find the latest updated firmware? and of course how can unlock and root again the phone?
[General Questions and Answers] kkricardokaka95:
1) the latest gapps is somewhere in this thread. Please search and take it :) I cannot search because I'm away from my PC

2) This is unusual. It is supposed to go on SD card. Which game are you installing and what does it say?

3)recovery is easy. switch off the phone. Press power button and volume up button. You should boot into recovery. As to how to root it, that even I do not know :(

battery life

Hi , I am really interested to this phone !! but I am afraid about battery life ... I'll use it for my job and battery life is a matter...

so I I'll be able to install and use setcpu and set it up as "on demand" ....which is the average life in the day

about 1 hour calls

some whatsup message

1 hour internet navigation

send and receive about 40 mails during day

I got my N1 from etotalk (not arrived yet)

The good: they can install root and all the google apps, they have good prices and lots of options to choose from (extra battery, case, screen protector)

The bad: no free shipping

Also you can find it at merimobiles

the good: free shipping, they can install root (but may not have all the google apps)

the bad: the site is with many wrong and confused information, looks like a site update, there may be some confusion (eg: I asked for a white zp500 and they sent a black zp500)

You can also get it from aliexpress. Many sellers have good prices, free shipping .

the bad: no root from most of the sellers, they are just sellers, no support from them

My N1 comes with the "old" ROM, etotalk said that the new ROM have some bugs and they have not released their own ROM yet (root, gapps, no chinese apps anoyance)

About battery: I have a Defy with more than 1 year of use. The battery is 1500 MAH. I bet that this battery last longer than N1 battery. Regarding all chinese brand phones battery will be the down side. For this we have options: get 2 batteries or buy a external battery to charge on the go
[General Questions and Answers] fcsabika:
No, I don't think it is clone, because both phones were released about the same time and V970's back is completely different than N1, N1 has front camera, and its rear camera is 8 MP instead of V970's 5 MP.

I bought it at Antelife.com.

Because of the Chinese holiday my order delays about a week, and I will receive it about September 15th.

I think that it is very easy (a few clicks) to root it, as the other phones, and also customs rom install is very simple (with CWM).
[General Questions and Answers] kkricardokaka95:
The battery in itself is not at fault. The battery drains quickly because the CPU is always at full power. 1001 MHz. If someone somehow found a way to tweak it(via a new kernel) battery life can be sustained. Otherwise this phone is pretty good
