How to know if you are eligible to install this custom ROM

There is an official update to Gingerbread for this phone BUT not available for all countries yet !

why is this why not for all countries ? it depends of Alcatel but your GSM provider is also involved so you have to wait for that update it's a matter of time finally all phones all coutries will get this GB update !

This custom ROM is based on official Alcatel update so do not flash it if there is no update for your country as I know it's released for Romania Czech Republic etc but not available in Bulgaria at this time.

It's a matter of compatible bootloader by this update you get a new bootloader so do not flash custom ROM if you do not have GB bootloader !

how to check for update

-ensure that you have Android SDK and phone drivers installed

-install Move Upgrade tool or One Touch Upgrade

-shut down the phone press Menu (big button) KEEP IT PRESSED and connect phone to PC KEEP BUTTON PRESSED

-start Move Upgrade /One Touch Upgrade it should detect the phone and check for update

-if it says "connect the phone or phone not detected" well be sure you have drivers installed or restart PC

-if it says "no update available for your phone" that's it just wait and try it again later

if you flashed this custom ROM but never checked for update so you do not have the new GB bootloader ----> at first start up you get black screen it means bootloader will not recognize GB kernel so return to Froyo

this is the last stable CPU freq for this phone for higher freqz phone reboots I have a Huawei Sonic default 600 MHz flashed Cyanogendmod on it and the situation is the same phone reboots for (in this case) > 787 Mhz anyway overclocking is not so good (can damage the phone) do not use it all the time only when playing a game etc after this return to lower CPU freqz

yes use what you want to move apps to sdcard is not bad ! I use a2sd because it's better : to move Dalvik cache to sdcard too so you get at least 40-50 MB free on internal memory !

@martin131 : I asked you for screen locker type just to get an idea what rom you have because there are 2 types and yours is different from this I use

so menus are looking little different but I'm doing my best to solve this issue for the future version

@ALL as you see there is no way to control gps/wifi etc from status bar how to do that ?

well (if you don't know yet) Menu/Add/Widgets/Power Control
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stracker06:
thanks

Ruscan, THANK YOU for your answer.

What do you think, how many week should I wait in Hungary for the official update?

Thank you for íour help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] furumuser:
Thank's!

Do you know if there's a way, using One Touch Upgrade, to discover which android version is available without performing the complete update? Each time the tool download and install the Froyo version as "the latest" without providing any information deleting custom apps and data on the phone.

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
If you ever figure it out, let me know. Move upgrade is such a POS, never getting an Alcatel again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
friend what is happening here :laugh:

welll I will check for a solution but are you sure you never touched .zip file (ROM) to change something...

I suggest something :delete ROM file from sdcard download and flash it again, before to flash rewrite recovery but download it again !

so download ROM and recovery and flash again both of them !

also when you boot in recovery mode wipe data/ cache/ Dalvik-cache

@furumuser, FormerSlacker, stracker06 : here I can't help only Alcatel and GSM provider but I'm sure they are to solve this problem soon

@ALL I made stock ROMs for this phone GB-based download from post #2 they are really untouched except for recovery: this GB update comes without recovery so I just changed the situation a bit :laugh: yes really untouched so no root etc

sorry to hear ....

Calin,

Sorry to hear that no longer want further development of your custom ROM.

You were for us as a breeze of fresh air.

Honestly I am deeply grieved that you close the thread.

I hope to read from time to time in the forum and help us solve problems.

You're the best !

Success in your software programmer business !

All the best!

just one question

Ruscan,

I have installed your ROM (GB). It works fine.

I have one question how can I add support for Polish language? I have a backup of stock Polish GB ROM.

You did it for previous ROM called Move. Can you share how it can be done?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] linusuli:

Oh! Ruscan.calin, a sad day for us ... Everything will be better for you ... Congratulations on your new path wherever you go.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
yes that's true I have a hardware failure it's not possible to solve it without PCB replacement

but I think this ROM is good enough only root to add there and everything is ok :good::laugh:

there will be no update and read here and the old Move thread for questions but do not ask me about new features (languages etc )

I can not work anymore on this phone I do not have it well sorry it's not a joke but again this ROM is good enough and do not forget it :

PHONE/ ROM VERSION IS NOT IMPORTANT ONLY WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THIS PHONE IS IMPORTANT !

SIMPLY ...

JUST USE IT

Sorry to hear about your phone and you stoping development. Just would like to say thanks for your time and effort all these many months.

Good luck on all your future endeavors. Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadK9:
Sad day for users...

Hey, Calin, how did you came to this conclusion, I mean that your PCB is dead?

How this fault manifested itself? What were the signs?

Should I try to fix my move by replacing the usb connector or let it be as is... and throw it away like a piece of junk?

Your work here really left a mark in the history of this phone!!!

We are really SAD to hear the you won't be able to continue developing the rom... but it should be fine as long as the phone is rooted and many of the apps can be deleted making more room for other user apps. This is more importand than anything else, in my opinion of course. Why torture the phone with OC???

Take care and may God be with you!!!​

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jwkk:
We do understand that you have this phone in order (functional) and you will continue to develop ROMs? If so, it is VERY VERY GREAT!!

What I want to do? For example: in one application Czech language add, edit only one line of text, adjust text color etc. Just what open. Xml not to garbled text.

Maybe the text color here: when I use a dark background the text is to read. (there's more, but this is the first example of what came to me)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
yes it's solved and there will be another version to correct some issues ( keys for recovery etc ) or to add new features as enhanced power menu ( reboot etc ) possible to add new languages and other features then the rule is to be "take it easy" for 2 reasons :

-this ROM is good enough ( has at least 50 % of Cyanogenmod features )

-it is the second time I have had a hardware failure on this phone ...

well, about changing apps will not be so easy... I will do the first part: to show how to decompile an app (not working for all of them...) then it's your turn... yes usually to control layout ( colors, languages etc) you have to edit .xml files not .smali ( source code)

..in a few days/ this weekend on ot908.blogspot.ro

@MadK9 : this level of overclocking will not hurt also you have an option : use No-frills to set cpu freq =600 MHz and job done anyway overclocking is a standard feature for every Cyanogenmod release !

about my hardware failure but a warning !

not very proud of this but..

I was afraid this phone is dead (not charging at all) I know about this from an older Nokia phone well tried everything (...) then Nokia was sent to service and they said

Power IC defective (not possible to replace = no manufacturer there )

well, I tried last chance so I replaced USB/ charging connector from an older Nokia PCB now it works like a charm !

why this a warning signal ?

take care USB connector (from phone placed on PCB / motherboard ) is weak ! never force it ! be gentle with it !

@movefun : I' ll take a look at it ! but I'm not sure about it because it should work for some Sony Xperia phones

PS not to forget to mention here : was about my first smartphone : Nokia 3650 :(

init ever in recovery?

Hello, how to repair the boot, so they do not always start in recovery? thanks:fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jwkk:
Czech language (temporary replacement full version)

This procedure activates Czech in all applications (that support it) even if ROM is not in English. It works reliably!

Tento postup aktivuje Češtinu ve všech aplikacích (které ji podporují), i když ROM zatím není v češtině. Funguje spolehlivě!

Pužijete aplikaci "System Tuner" která je v ROM ver. 2.0 již předinstalovaná.

It should work with other languages ​​(others I tried).

You must enter the correct language and country codes.

Language Codes http://www.science.co.il/Language/Codes.asp

how can I flash the phone if I do not cmw recovery and root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadK9:
search harder

Don't worry, if you'll search harder you will find the right answer.

Flash recovery by fastboot command. Told you to read post the first posts... read post #2!!!

Doin' so you won't need root, you'll be able to install/ flash the new rom wich is already rooted.

Calin Ruscan did this thread.

Search for answers, you'll find'em! Word by word...

Fastboot is explained better in the old thread for this phone.

All answers are in front of you.

Good luck!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
update v 3.0 aka ROBINSON ROM

Menu/Add/Widgets/Power Control also try Power Widget lite from Market even better !

what's new ?

1. replaced ADW Launcher by Nemus Launcher - it seems ADW is deprecated , last ver in Market - 2010 ..old ver not maintained anymore also it has some bug /compatibility problems and Nemus seems to be very versatile one !

2. kernel compiled with default governor / scheduler ---> conservative/ NOOP to preserve battery better also removed No-frills now to control CPU use System Tuner you can change max/ min freq governor, scheduler and from setting set it to keep values after reboot; when running a benchmark/ game set governor /scheduler ---> performance / CFQ

3.enhanced Power Menu - reboot, recovery, download

4.some mods as you can see : changed ringtones, about bootanimation, wallpaper -change it as you wish

5.support for new languages : not everything is translated and is nothing to do : say that I add Czech language for Maps well if it gets updated from Market ..everything is lost, also there is still work to do: I forgot to add support for TouchPal keyboard but will be soon implemented ( or do it yourself from Czech stock rom)

6. new apps like Car Home and others very useful I think also replaced terminal emulator with this ConnectBot - also a telnet/ ssh client that's very strong for people they know about

7. DSP Manager from Cyanogenmod - that's why I like this mod= Cyanogenmod so much ! now try to listen to music ! :good:

8, maybe something I can't remember -soon

NOTES

1.I will never work to improve graphics on this phone because it has the lowest DPI =120 dpi - it doesn't worth the same about mods -stock apps are good as they are I'm focusing to add some functionality to the phone !

2. I gave it a name - ROBINSON ROM just to remember my "adventures" with this phone -read my previous posts

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Neko2394:
If you use 908F, I take it that you speak French.

Ton téléphone ne veut pas démarrer sur GB car il n'as pas le bootloader adéquat. Par conséquent il faut simplement retourner sur le recovery et reflasher une rom Froyo.

Télécharge une rom Froyo sur ce topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608705 et copie la sur ta carte sd.

Retire la batterie de ton téléphone, puis remet la.

Ensuite on va redémarrer sur le recovery.

Maintenir le bouton "volume (+)"

Appuyer sur le bouton "power"

Après la vibration relâcher rapidement le bouton "power" et appuyer sur le bouton "Home"

Relâcher les boutons "Home" et "volume (+)" lorsque l'écran noir avec le rétro-éclairage des touches apparait.

Attendre le chargement du CWM recovery.

Ensuite vider les différents caches puis flasher comme d'habitude. ;)

OU SINON

Tu peux télécharger le logiciel Alcatel upgrade 1.9.9, simplement brancher le téléphone (s'assurer que les différents drivers sont bien installés) et mettre à jour. Tu vas retourner sur la rom orange d'origine.
