[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
test results are in

so i installed the ROM and here are the drawbacks:

- AnTuTu 4.0 scores less (had 8852, now 7356)

- no video recording capability - camera force closes

- no front facing camera capability - no image

Games work smooth, compass works better, GPS has a fast positioning time,battery life looks to be better, super fast boot, other apps don't crash and the dialer is cooler (name of the network on the call button), same goes for the sms app - dont know if this is a miui thing :P

i'm gonna stick to it though, since i'm planning an upgrade to the mi-s2

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

what's new in it (is it worth the update)?

and what's the safest way to update (if it's worth it)?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Tennic:
So, camera app don't works? Do you try to instal Gapps? With the stock rom (or mod rom, stock based), the browser sync (with google account) was did not work, while after installing gapps (for Android 4.1.1) works perfectly. Maybe, you must install the gapps and the camera starts to work...

So, the compass works well? With the stock rom 4.1.1 (and with mod based on that) the compass has an error of 45°.

And the GPS takes a long time to make the fix ... But with this rom the fix is faster?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
oh, i installed gapps cause otherwise i wouldn't have GooglePlay

the camera does work, if you only take pictures (does a nice job and the flash is actually brighter - i guess it has more juice)

gps and compass work better.
[General Questions and Answers] Tennic:
But, does not work the front camera and video : (

Do you try any other app for video and pictures with front camera (es. camera360 or other)? So, you know if it is the fault of the camera app or the rom : Confuso:

Can you please upload only the boot.img from this ROM to compare with stock boot.img.

[General Questions and Answers] ozp:
Is theoretically possible to get this fixed by the rom maker or others with proper knowledge?

About the antutu, should 4.2 be heavier and thus produce the lower score?
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
[MENTION=4144706]lingfude[/MENTION] here you go boot.img

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

I hope this is something that can be easily fixed

and about the scores... i have a tablet that scored 11585 with 4.1.1 and 20850 with 4.2.2 so that puts me in the spot to believe the optimizations in 4.2 should provide a little bit of a push in scores

edit:

i've tried Focal and video force closes the app, and the front facing camera has same black image
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
Thanks.

If you go to Settings>About phone what is the Kernel version in this ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
kernel is 3.4.0 i've also attached a little screen capture i made with all data in "about phone"

i know there's a way to make a log file with all data of interest. i forgot how to do that tho :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
As I thought.

This ROM has 4.1.1 kernel but it says it's 4.2.2.
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
so, then, 4.2.2 for Newman is still a "myth"

i'll just keep it on to "train" with miui

i can always restore my phone :P

thanks for the clarification man

edit:

ran the benchmark while charging:8476 points (note: the initial result of 8852 was done on battery power alone, though fully charged)
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
@adibrado

You said that you tried v970 4.2.2 ROM.

Where do you get this ROM? It's this ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
Yes, like I said here. This one only has camera issues (it dos not start at all), I guess it's cause it's a different sensor.

The dev who built it (Superdragonpt) said I was lucky enough to get it working so nicely since it's a first build (it was then) but that he cannot help with the camera. It's also kernel 3.4.0 so... you know better

You think you have something worth your time with this ROM? That would be sweeeeeeet if yes :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] lingfude:
The compass, notification light, wifi, bluetooth and all other sensors work with this ROM and the only problem is the camera?

If so it's good news and I will test this ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
Yes, all good (the compass was a surprise for me) GPS time is... OK (but I blame that on being in Fr)
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
Well, actually my camera is still not 100% working.

On the last Patch i got the autofocus working, the only issue now is the pink colour on my camera, this is due to the libcameracostum.so can´t be patched, or else i will get an bootloop, the ramdisk #camera mods wont work either.

the Big camera issue is the original got an 8MP camera and mine is 5MP

Don't worry, as the camera will work in your build...

The following devices got their camera work, with just libs patch (all you need is the right combination)

-Micromax a110

-Haipai

-Micromax a90

-Jyiagu G3

etc, etc.

You should start by the following Paths:

/system :

etc/permissions

etc/firmware

lib/modules/

lib/HW/cameradefault.so

lib/.*camera libs (libcameracostum.so / libcamalgo.so, etc, etc)

/vendor

:)

EDIT:

Upload and send me IN PM, your STOCK JB 4.1.x boot.img, i need to make some changes to make your rom work with more stability and for checking some values, and make the necessary changes...

Also as i said in the PM, all the JB 4.2.2 Ports for the MT6577 phones where made from my rom, and from the Micromax a110.

We team up and made the JB 4.2.2 from AMOI worked on the "old" 3.4.0 kernel.

But some changes from phone to phone, required some patches.

I guess your phone also haves the 6620 chip am i right?

As of today, what is the best, newer and stablest, ROM for the N1?
[General Questions and Answers] -wanderer-:
I'd say lingfudes Android 4.1.1 based ROM. Works like a charm.
[General Questions and Answers] Tennic:
Same opinion, excellent rom, and I've tried several :)

The other rom I left only a few minutes, but this is perfect, except for the bugs of the compass, and gps fix is slow, but the rest is perfect :)
[General Questions and Answers] Dalcielo:

LINGFUDEs ROM!

Best Rom since yet.

With GPSfix no problems.
[General Questions and Answers] adibadro:
lingfude's ROM is the best so far, but i keep it as a recovery option... MIUI V5 is awesome and the battery lasts forever (a lot longer :P) even if the video camera does not work (not that big myself in video-memories) but pictures are better.

so if one would want just to not worry about the functionality of things lingfude's all the way, the rest is down to "picky-ness"
[General Questions and Answers] ozp:
Have you tried this?

http://www.gizchina.com/2013/07/23/how-to-fix-poor-gps-on-mediatek-phones/

I use another ROM. After this procedure I think the GPS fix got better

I also used an APP called FasterGPS
[General Questions and Answers] Tennic:
Thanks :)

It seems that I solved the problem, the gps fix has occurred in approximately 10 seconds :)

As soon as possible I'll try if it remains so even after rebooting, or if it is necessary to repeat the procedure every time (I hope not).

MIUI Rom problems

I found only these bugs:

1. No video recording – camera force-shut down

2. No font facing camera – black screen thus no video call capabilitie

3. Lower score in AnTuTu (drop of about 1500 points from 8852 – 16.9%)

Video recording works on my N1, true about no font facing camera, though. I've been runing MIUI V5 on N1 for four days now and i quite like it. Its stylish, iphone like, but phone does appear to be slower. Some really nice features are included. I might keep it :)

4.Dualsim-management doesn't work well, sim 1 cannot be administered, after reboot.
[General Questions and Answers] kojaky:
A couple of days ago my phone would suddenly shut off. It would happen a couple times a day. Now when I tried turning on my phone again it stays at the Newman logo sign. It doesn't reboot and I can't power it off, only way is to take out battery. When I tried going to Recovery, I tried wipe data/factory reset but it would stay at the Formatting /data, not doing anything else so I would have to take out my battery again to turn it off. When I go back to Recovery, it would say Can't open /cache/recovery/log and Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log. Tried to restore my backup but it says Can't mount /sdcard. I do not know what the next step is. Can anyone assist me with this?

just saved my ass with this... thank you. are there any updates to cwm? this works just fine, but i was wondering

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

I'm writing this as a result o the last day and a half of work.

If you did like I did and installed LewaOS but got a phone process error, no mater which one of the two from the official website (stable or dev) and want to revert to CWM and your trusty JB stable by lingfude (thanks again)

I'm assuming you still have some usability of the phone

1. connect your phone and copy on your phone's memory CWN 6.0.2.8 (curtosy of MioCZ) - available here

2. install MobileUncle tools, which you also placed either on your phone's memory or sd card, (i used this one) between the error report popups

3. chose "recovery update" from MobileUncle menu

4. chose the recovery option presented right on top of the list

5. reboot to recovery

6. done (and if you were inspired to also have a backup, you can now restore it and forget the ordeal)

Hope this helps some of you.

New-ish MIUI

Hi there people!

So I ran into this MIUI update.It's from their website, but still a port.

Nice, stable, energy efficient ROM.

Still no front facing camera (so forget all skype/hanguts video calls) but video now works (no 720p recording and if put in advanced settings the video will die)

Don't forget to format everything from CWM (DO THE BACKUP FIRST) and then install the zip you just downloaded, as well as GAPPS and you're good to go.

GPS fixes instantaneously - so that's good

AnTuTu score from 8352 down to 8085 - not much there...

Final decision lies with you
[General Questions and Answers] jamesensor:
Here bro, at http://forum.china-iphone.ru/ look for user Maxson, he has in his signature some great roms for N1 you'll want to try out. The Newman scene is very alive there right now.

Thanks MioCZ for the flashable cwm, I wanted this for switching between Lewa an Miui, through their recovery (which is in Chinese and replace with cwm) instead of flashing it in my pc with mtk tools all the time.

Nope, but I confess to be curious about it. I stuck with the lewa rom. The miui rom was heavy duty on the phone, adding to the size it takes in the memory that leaves little space for everything else.

[General Questions and Answers] -wanderer-:
I use the miui rom and i have to say i like it. I dont use front camera or two SIM cards that is why i don't have any problems with it :).
[General Questions and Answers] P1azer:
I currently have MIUI 3.10.25, which is based on 4.2.2 JDQ39 Android version. It has less compromises for me than LeWa.Maybe it has minimum compromises at all. Of course, front camera desn´t work, music plays wierd, from time to time proximity sensor works wierd (like black screen after phone call), and when I plug phone to PC and choose mass storage, some apps will crash (Beautiful widgets and Swift keyabord). But MIUI has usable dual-sim management, great environment, GPS fix is fast, tethring works, phone calls works good, no problem with any conectivity... etc. So I can say that MIUI ROM is usable for my daily ordinady using (N1 is my personal and working phone).

Lewa rus clock problem

Hi everyone.

Right now I'm running deodexed_LeWa_NEWMAN_N1_JB_ROM_13.08.15_rus on mi device.

It works great after installing gapps, but I have 2 problems:

1- The browser is not searching anything with Google. If I use Bing or Yahoo it works...

2- It includes 2 clocks and they're not working well. I need to use one for the alarms and the other for widget & time. And I can't configure snooze times.

I've been able to solve the second problem this way:

I've extracted an apk from an older Lewa ROM (DeskClockGoogle.apk).

Active root in Lewa develepor options.

You should copy this APK to /system/app and set it to rw-r--r--. It will replace another version.

Then delete DeskClock.apk and rename DeskClockGoogle.apk to DeskClock.apk.

Delete data & cache via app manager and finally delete /data/com.android.deskclock y /data/data/com.google.android.deskclock.

Now reboot your phone and use the only clock you will have.

I hope my solution works for everyone experiencing this problem.
