The front camera and compass works because they are using my custom Kernel. :D

There's no reason for the Carliv Touch Recovery not working on Newman n1

Check your downloaded md5.

I will update tomorrow the Carliv Recovery with the newest version.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

SAD.

With this they are NOT respecting the Kernel thread. Nor the OP's rules.

This is why development stops and developers stop their work.

So this is the first custom kernel, and its already Kanged and being used on other ROMs. SAD.

If that happens with v970 again, I'm done with the project. There's no respect these days .

[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
Hey everyone!

I've been using my N1 with a 4.1.1 (JB) ROM but I am not happy with battery life.

Would switching to a 4.0.4 (ICS) ROM make things better? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
i suggest you go with lingfude's 4.2.2 rom. it's the best buid by faaar. he's made changes to the kernel, battery life is perfect, phone act like it's gotten new insides.
[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
Thanks for the suggestion adibadro.

Can I install the 4.2.2 ROM directly from TWRP or should I first flash a stock ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
You can install the ROM 4.2.2 directly.

Just follow the instruction on the ROM thread.
[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
Got it lingfude. I'll give it a try and post back.
[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
Tried it and worked like a charm. Excellent job LingFude. :good:

I think I've noticed a bug of sorts. No app is able to create a shortcut in the home screen. Is it something one can change in the settings or it is just impossible with this ROM? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
It works for me.

Just tap and hold the app you want and drag it to home screen.
[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
That works for me too. The problem is when an app tries to create a shortcut of a file in the home screen by itself.

For example when Clean Master tries to create a games folder even though I get the message that it was successfully created it is nowhere to be found. Same goes for when I install a new app. While normally a shortcut is automatically created with this ROM it is not.

Edit: Also noticed I get no sound at all when I set a countdown.
[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
I solved the shortcut problem by installing the JB 4.2.2 Stock Launcher. :D

No luck so far on solving the problem with the countdown being silent. Can someone please test to verify this is not just me.
[General Questions and Answers] P1azer:
Than try to install some 3rd part aplication from google play. But default countdown timer has not notification sound on my phone also..
[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
Thanks for the comfirmation P1azer. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] flibam:
Hey.

Just installed lingfude's custom ROM on my Newman N1. No problem at all, worked like a charm.

Just remember to wipe the caches, as lingfude said.

Some remarks, might help others:

- if install doesn't work, press Power+VolUp on the phone to get into clockworkmod bootloader

- Power+VolDown brings you to the factory test bootloader, which is full chinese, and I was very lost :D

I have some questions though:

- How can I disable these super annoying startup and shutdown sounds?

- The option for encrypting the SD card is missing. Does anyone know why? Can this be added somehow?
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding to startup and shutdown sounds just rename or delete "/system/media/bootaudio.mp3" and "/system/media/shutaudio.mp3".

Don't forget to hit Thanks button. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] flibam:
Wow, super fast reply. :D

Awesome, thanks. Do you know if I can zap the animations as well?

Done! :cool: Thanks a lot!

Regarding SD card encryption: nobody has a hint? I can't use this ROM without sd card encryption,

but I am not sure if it's a problem with the ROM or a problem with Android 4.2 (used 4.0 before).
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
Is this what you want: Settings -> Security -> Encrypt Phone
[General Questions and Answers] flibam:
Yes, I used this and it worked fine. The problem is that this only encrypts the

internal storage and not the SD card, as far as I know. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
I also do not know but, you can test putting the external SD Card in another phone and see if you can read the content.
[General Questions and Answers] flibam:
I tested it, doesn't work. :( Well, if it's not something specific to your rom,

then I'll ask around in the forums. Thanks for your help!
[General Questions and Answers] flibam:
Next question: does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying volume button sound?

All the guides I have found on the net do not work...
[General Questions and Answers] P1azer:

Guys , I do have some problems with this low internal storage on my phone.

Most of my apps are installed on SD card but still I cant manage with this 441MB of internal.

[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
Something is wrong with the top button of my N1, you know the one that turns the screen on/off.

It does not have that "click" feel anymore when I push it.

It still works fine but has anyone encountered the same problem. Any possible fixes?

Thanks in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
Maybe it's the wear of old age. :p
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
I have the same problem with volume down, but it's not a big deal. i assume you can change it, but why do it if it still performs the job?
[General Questions and Answers] L@zuli:
I just tried to unscrew it but failed :P

I removed all 9 screws but I still can't open it.

Anyway, I will let it be as long as it works.

Thanks for the responses :)

[General Questions and Answers] kiimdk:
I have flashed to rom 1.07 and rooted my Newman N1. No problem with that. If anybody have problem with language then install Morelocale 2 from Play Store. There you can set language so any app will be installed at your default language.
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
If you have the storage swapped, i have followed the instructions on the french site and changed the vold.fstab accordingly.

If someone wants to try, but make a backup of your system first just to be sure!

after that extract the rar and place the attached file (with rootexplorer) in you system\etc\ folder and give it the same permissions as the old one.

reboot your phone.

(use this at your own risk)

I cant try yet because my N1 is on its way.

n1 has 4GB but bad partitioning.

[General Questions and Answers] gcuervo:
i read in other forum that exists a rom 3GB (4GB with /mn/asec and /mnt/obb) but with flashing problems, believe that this rom increase internat storage to 1 GB.
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
I will look into that as soon as i recieve my N1, and will create a ROM with these fixes inside and gapps etc. It will be a nandroid restore or update.zip file. Maybe it is a good idea to make a list together with the things we want in a stable ROM.

Something like:

- Multilanguage ROM with gapps preinstalled

- Memory assignment corrected with vold.fstab file (phone storage and internal storage)

- Memory correction internal storage from 512 MB to 1 GB.

- other wishes

Maybe we can come to a good stable ROM together like that.

thl w3+ is available but the other too need at least 2 more weeks (maybe more) to be in stock

personally i gave up for the Jiayu G3 and replaced my order with newman n1 + some accessories for the same price

+ umi x1 and jiayu g3 have no support here in xda-developers

and the support here is one of the main reasons that i choose newman n1

because a good phone is a phone that has good hardware + software + support

i hope this helps you decide
[General Questions and Answers] yash3339:
Firstly, thanks.

I think I'll place an order in 1 week max. I don't think I'm going to mess around much with the phone, so it's okay if it isn't very popular.

Plus, the newman doesn't have a big enough battery (1700mah, I think?) while the ThL has a 2000mah x 2 batteries. That's a big plus.

And yeah, this rules out the umi x1 and JY G3 as well, these seem to have still some time left before they start shipping out.

Could you tell me your usage pattern, and how long the battery lasts on a full charge?

Many thanks,

Yash
