ok check PM

another question here is about stock controls in status bar

well, I wanted more free space for notifications I like to use widgets anyway just try Power Widget lite from Market

if you manage to compile Android from sources you never get these controls in status bar they say that Android 4.2 will be the first ver to include these controls in status bar yes on some stock roms you see it - in this case it was made by Cosmote (or other gsm provider ) I think - they got specs from Alcatel how to compile Android and changed it a bit

anyway everything related to status bar (including controls ) is placed in /system/app/SystemUI.apk + resources (jpgs /layouts etc ) placed in framework-res.apk ( some phones get resources from /custpack/JRD_custres/app/ SystemUI-res.apk )

another way to get it is to port Lidroid Quick Panel on this phone but not on my list because I have to spend some time in order to get it working on the phone - originally Lidroid made it for Samsung phones

Hope it helps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadK9:
Thanks Calin!

I already use power widget but there is basically a running process more... along others that lead to a poor battery life.

Tell me, where do I go from here? I got folders to work on, anything else? Is there a tut somewhere?

Thank you!

PS

My usb socket is dead again!!! I'm not gonna spend a penny more to revive this phone, I'm gonna torture it in fact!!!

Want to have a rooted English language rom...

Hello ruscan.calin, I've read that you help ppl from xda forum, like me with the Alcatel Move :).

Im intersted how to install the stock (already rooted :) rom.

I just want to install whatever stock rom eather romanian, chech or spanish, just to get English language and rooted phone without games.

I dont understand how to flash by recovery?! :(

1. i should put the CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 and the ROOT STOCK ROM GB OT 908 T-Mobile MOVE on the sd

2. then fastboot with power + vol down AND THEN WHAT :D

Is someone willin to help me get mu 2.3.4 android Alcatel Move get rooted :)))))
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
read here on ot908.blogspot.ro

if this is not enough comment it on blogspot (or here )

@MadK9

well, sorry about usb ...

there are 4 pins

1- V+

2- Data IN

3- Data OUT

4- V-

I guess you can charge the phone but USB connection is not working so it is about middle 2 pins well sorry

that's way you have Wifi ADB - you can flash recovery with wireless connection and more to sync phone this way so it is not so bad I think

..for me it works so I'm happy even if I do not use this phone daily - I'll sell it to you :D

I answered this question because the second one is .. boring :victory: - on my phone I even removed operator logo :laugh: to get more free space for notifications - in fact I replaced it with an Android logo / text

well, the problem is about resources (png, layouts) you need it imported from framework-res. apk but it is boring and not good-looking ( I do not like their implementation ) so I need to find a phone to "borrow" these controls :D and more data on /off is missing so I need to add it

battery is weak on every Android phone anyway - about Dalvik machine ( just curious about Galaxy S3 after a while they will start to charge battery daily ) - well friends this is a real business : STOP working on custom ROMs and get a real job - scientific research for battery improvement and you get billionaires :laugh:

english

I went with the romanian rom :) thinking that if i install an RO ES or CZ it would be pre - ROOTED but i was wrong :)))

So after reading the full treads ive found that i should probably had used the root.ot908.img :))) not the full img's from the RO ES OR CZ. AM I RIGHT? :D

PS. Meanwhile Ive installed the Robinson ROM :)))) to give it a try :) and im very pleased of the work u've done mate.

So I have 2 questions.

1st I should have used the root.ot908.img on my stock 2.3.4 rom, RIGHT?

2nd Which ROM does have more space available, ROBINSON OR STOCK RO?

3rd If I want to try new ROM should i flash my MOVE every time (whole procedure or just recovery POWER and VOLUP+Middle)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
well,

It seems that you are well documented ! :)

anyway for me this ROM is not a big deal but it can help many people there if they know how to use it because there are many features you are missing - so my advice is to flash the latest version of Robinson ROM :

- phone is 15 % faster in benchmarks ( CPU OC, many governors/ schedulers/ tweaks )

- etc/init.d - you can run many scripts at startup /shutdown etc

- a2sd - get almost 160 MB free on internal memory and install as many apps as you want - on sd-ext part of your sdcard ( read more on blogspot)

- many features - read post no 1

- English is a standard option no matter what ROM you flashed

- read at the beginning of this thread if you want your native language included ( to come with Robinson ROM )

if you want a stock ROM rooted just copy root.ot908.zip to your sdcard reboot in CWM recovery and flash this zip file as you flashed the ROM file then restart and check for superuser apk ( this is a sign of a rooted phone ) or install an app that requires root privileges like System Tuner from Market and start it ...

about free space : I think stock ROMs have more free space but not necessarily an advantage - there are many useful apps/ features on Robinson - try to get from somewhere screenshot feature or DSP Manager app if you can

BUT rooted-only stock ROM is not bad at all - it is the basement for everything !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] filip-r:
flash and dalvik and much more

1. Should i flash the phone every time i change rom, or just once then just go trough the CWM Recovery instal zip from sd...?

2. Should i use wipe data/factory reset CWM Recovery? before installing new rom?

3. Should i wipe also the Dalvik Cashe trough CWM Recovery? also before installing new rom, and/or from time to time?

4. Where is a2sd located on Robinson Rom? or should i install Link2sd to move Facebook alike apks on other ext-sd-partition? and how can i see the partitions of the sd, the real and the ex-sd created with CWM Recovery?

5. My battery doesn't show correctly or skip the % of its stats, shouold i use the Wipe batt stats?

6. Can we update the CWM Recovery to 6.x.. ?

I want to thank whoever answer me, coz i know its kinda big question, but I havent seen this kinda quest's in thread's so far but i think its usefull to hear opinions and answers :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadK9:
No more alcatel

@ruscan

Thanks calin, btw, how much do you ask for yours?

I was so pissed when I lost connection again that I opened the phone up, and distroyed usb socket, electrical wiring from mb with a soldering iron!!!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I don't know... put it on sell in okazii for 70ron... it is unlocked... spent to much trying to keep this phone alive and it is not worth it anymore...

Bought a new phone, it supposed to be damp proof, dust proof and water proof, as they say... specs are low but that was not my main concearn...

now let's see how this will perfom! It is a Motorola defy mini xt320... some forums says has some mb problems and there's no root solution yet for it. It comes with GB 2.3.6.

THANKS ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

CHEERS EVERYONE!

Calin, stay in touch
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
1.here I tell you the most important : be sure you never flash a firmware / kernel that's not made for your phone ----> hardware failure

yes enter recovery and install zip the install script will do everything for you

2. no not necessarily - install script will wipe everything including Dalvik etc ( if you do it not a problem anyway )

3 wipe Dalvik if you think phone is slower after restart it takes a while for system to rebuild Dalvik cache again

4 a2sd - read on blogspot

/sd-ext partition is mounted at startup in ../sd-ext folder

5. wipe battery status will not hurt anyway it is based on math statistics - not a hardware thing

6. the main purpose of CWM is to perform a backup/ recovery or to flash a ROM / update and CWM 5028 accomplished his mission ! - so what for ? - CWM 6 only give you support for touchscreen not a big thing and it's possible not to work on this phone

better is to work on up/ downgrade the bootloader but firstly you need to unlock radio firmware this is the order I think here is a long discussion anyway

swap... a bigger value will make phone slower ( it is placed on sdcard not on internal memory witch is faster ) anyway your choice should be swap=32 to avoid compatibility issues and for sd-ext size use a decent value sd-ext=512 MB - more space for apps, Dalvik or even app data

@MadK9

haha he got a new phone ! but ... it seems to be almost the same in specs - quickly open the back-cover and look inside maybe there is Alcatel on board (sic!) - got you ! :D:fingers-crossed:

anyway it has a front-camera (very-very good facility for that price ! ) so we can talk each other by video-call ( I have an Omnia ) to see your smiling face now :)

:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadK9:
He-he-he...:p;)

Almost same specs... this defy has less internal storage, only 120MB, Alcatel 160MB...

Looked inside...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory: NO ALCATEL MB!!! :p:p:p:p:p

You're right but you'll see me smiling when I'll root this phone... untill then... sad, sad....:(:(:(

Beeing a low budget and low specs phone seems no one found it interesting to find ways to root it...

It passed almost a year since it came available on the market and still no root solution...

I guess it should be used as a phone after all... low space is the main concern regarding reason for rooting, so... we'll have to wait...

:o

Ohh, regarding the price, bought it for half price... I mean the phone price is 530 to 688ron in shops, I paid only 350ron... NEW IN BOX!!! The box was unsealed to verify if it is locked to network...

CyanogenMod by Ewra Project

Yesterday I compile for your device CyanogenMod 7 and today after my work in my blog I'll publish this rom with fixed recovery (with custpack), but still without some tweaks and fixes in kernel.

So, are you ready?

CyanogenMod 7 for Alcatel OT-908/Move

Description about rom on my blog :cool:

If something does not work, as noted in the description as a working - write to me

What's wrong

Hello ruscan.calin . Thanx for your great work with ROM's and recovery :)

I have one issue:

my move had a usb failure so it came to service repair, after which it doesnt recognize device by move/ot upgrade.

it may sound weird but i also lost the sd card so i can't flash it with any stoch GB rom.

So my question is : does this device need sd card for any upgrade (even stock from gsm operator) ?

P.S as far as I had knowledge in Poland there is availble Polish TMobile GB Rom and few devices was upgraded

P.s 2 I did all check that you've recomend (sdk,drivers,etc) but i still get this screen

Russian Empire Strikes Back

.. The Master of Alcatel OT990 :)

well, friend to answer your questions : yes recovery has full backup and phone has OC at 19.2x40=768 MHz ( if I add more phone I mean my phone at least :o will never boot ...)

thanks for you trial I checked it now and I think so :

-kernel is patched ( will boot ) but I think there is a problem with image on the display ( not rendered correctly/ scrambled ) should be about /system/lib/egl ?

- bluetooth will not work so about camera I guess only obviously I can not check it

- anyway it means great results believe me :fingers-crossed:

currently I use a different phone (Huawei Sonic ) so I forgot about ot 908 :D I'm only here to answer if someone has problems if I can give a hand ...

May The Force Be With You ! :cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
well,

friend, I think your situation is a bit "obfuscated" :D

I'm thinking about a hardware failure so get it back in service anyway these days Alcatel update server ( placed "in cloud" it seems :D ) ..server was offline now it works again and this is good sign :try again and YES it works (update with no sdcard ) anyway check logs for errors (/ Program Files/ Move Upgrade/ *.log files )

another thing about update from a file .. well, there is a chance to wipe /data partition an copy here .zip file and update by recovery but I never checked if it works with this CWM and more YES you can flash it with no sdcard if you have an update in *.img format ( a backup of CWM by ex ) like this

fastboot flash boot boot.img etc ...

so

firstly check for update by Move Update (now server is online) then we talk more...

but tell me more about your phone status anything is useful !

PS so there is a GB update in Poland and that's good !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gulyuk.s:
Yes, I modify the framebuffer for correctly rendering video, but now problem in bootlogo and still I haven't ideas, and not sure that the global trouble in adreno, but we can check it with our adreno libs (must be compatible).

So, you wrote that the BT not working - I do not understand the reason "Why not work", because was changed the method of activating bluetooth specifically for cyanogenmod and it should work, at least it maybe not immediately turn on.

It was hard work - too many incompatibilities with code of cyanogenmod.

Thanks for your test this rom :good: I think if users this device will be want the other modification then I do it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
I'm guessing this CM mod will only work on devices that have the GB loader and not the ones stuck on Froyo?

In any case, fantastic work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gulyuk.s:
Until only fully work on loader 2.3, because we not yet found a solution to one problem that the ROM can be work on 2.2 loader completely:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FormerSlacker:
Yeah that's what I figured, regardless great work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
A New Hope

how are you man ? :fingers-crossed:

...sorry to answer late (homemade jobs )

well, finally was so pleasant testing your CM port because it ..works !

so let me tell you .. there is a problem about splash screen ..now showed correctly/ scrambled well, I was afraid it will damage the phone so I quickly removed battery ..that's all about .. now half an hour ago I flashed it again but there is no "risk" you have to wait.. and wait .. finally you get bootanimation displayed the right way ! this is all about it works ! and more there is no problem : connections work well same about sound etc

so only minor things (sorry I tested it for 10 minutes only ) :

-spashscreen :rolleyes:

-key maps : this is for S/F/A models - not a big deal

-something about recovery : unstable a bit (phone reboots or make reboot in recovery instead of normal boot ) - anyway not big deal

now

1.Congratulations for this best-work !!

2.I have to recognize I'm a bit frustrated because I never made it ! If you made it yourself with no help this is great - usually people work as a team in order to port it !

3.yes now it seems these phones are almost the same as hardware...:laugh:

4.I stopped to work with this custom ROM but now you are here with great results - people should donate to you to support your work !

Congratulations !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gulyuk.s:
for solve the problem correctly displaying the splash screen - need the have this device, without him the work is very hard.

oh, yes, I forgot that key maps are different for these models, but I think this can be to fixed as well as on the custom roms.

and, your internet connection works fine? because I read the msgs on 4pda from different users that not for all it works :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DeadEndRic:
?

I've found this forum around here, maybe this is the way people without official update can finally install GB?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089989

It's about changing between foryo-gingerbread boot loaders...anyone knows if this thing could work for us?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
anyway there is posted on old Move thread - how to change splash and keys so people here will solve such problems ( not big deal ) or just remove that splash image :D- it is possible to be a bit more complicated (not about image itself )

..but you made me curious about data connection - indeed it does not work so I checked log file and it seems network interface is not set there is a network error so I flashed it again :D and it seems there is a problem :setup wizard/ provision.apk will not start at first boot there is the problem ! I will try to find a solution these days but not now till next weekend !

@DeadEndRic: I really hate this "GB" starting from this moment - another person frustrated about that ugly bastard: Ginger-beer/bell or whatever !

..I got this GB update by .. a mistake : I wanted to flash stock ROM by Move Upgrade tool in order to compare benchmark results : stock /custom ROM .. and after half an hour .. I got this "Jingle-bell" :D:D.. can you believe this ?! I wanted Froyo and I got GB - nobody announced me :o

- so I have ..Ginger-beer for sale !!! :laugh:

NO friend do not make mistake that is for Samsung phones maybe will not work or will damage your phone I told you many times ..never flash a file not made for you/ your phone !

PS friend I tell you something :GB is a bit faster (improved libs ) but will consume more power etc and I like the name : Froyo but Gingerbell - what is this ?! :laugh:

0t-908 jelly bean

When i se some new softwere compiled for this phone i am always happy :DDD

RUSCAN.CALIN can ot 908 get jelly bean like Sony XPERIA X8.

Hardewere vise SAME CHIPSET but ot 908 has 512 mb ram and x8 has 120mb screen resolution 240x320 vs 320x480.

Can ot 908 run Jelly bean???????? MANY THANKS AGAIN RUSCAN.CALIN
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
so.. no feedback : on 990 setup wizard is running at first startup ? or how about your gprs connection ? what about other people testing on 908 ? is this about my phone only ? should I manually set APN ? (it doesn't work anyway ) at this level (I am not involved with your project - about sources/ ideas etc ) so I can only test your ROM but this is ok/ easy :laugh:

- attached here dmesg and even radio logs I hope will help you - even if "generic failure" is not enough

- setup wizard is not running

- pppd status how it runs maybe you set something in .rc scripts

- RIL library ( even if it's to early to tell about ) anyway there are functions ( libril.so ) to perform a call/ sms but even for gprs connection

(after a gsm call phone reboots itself )

anyway good luck with your project :good:

@albanian.eagle : yes friend I remember you : about games and more cpu OC to play with :laugh: (kidding )

friend It is true JB was ported on HTC G1 (first Android phone - ot 908 is even better as hardware) - still beta (gprs not working :D ) but the only problem about custom roms :

you can't even buy vegetables ! haha :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] albanian.eagle:

Im amaized with the fact what ot 908 can do :D:D:D:D

I want to upgrade to ARM v7 cpu with Alcatel OT-918 a.k.a T-Mobile MOVE 2 in my country.

Can you confirm ARM v7 cpu presence in the chipset????

Some spec:MediaTek MT6573, 650MHz CPU, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, Google Android 2.3.5.It dosent say what arm architecture the cpu is using,i can get the phone for 45 euros.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
:D I know you are there .. I can seeeeeee youuuu :laugh:

friend ! I guess you want to play FIFA so that phone is not good check Alcatel OT 991

ARM v7 has some game/media rendering advantages over ARM v6 but you need to compile specifically to get improvement but this is a developer-level question if you decide to get a new phone should ask for user-level questions like display/ cpu freq / ram etc

ARM v 7 comes with all Windows Phone 7/ 7.5 (Mango) phones and is present on Alcatel OT 995 (for cheaper Alcatel phones is not available )

..so Alcatel 918 is an.. ARM v6 phone but it has only 256 MB of RAM so if you think about games this is not so good ( 908 is better )

a better phone to buy is Alcatel OT 991 very good for that price ! - yes it's ARM v6

another quesion : rooting /custom ROM I do not know I posted somewhere on XDA - when they asked for custom ROM / recovery - check if they made it better buy something like OT 991 ~ 150 euros (yes it has only 256 ram but 800 mhz and 4 inches display - to play FIFA comfortable obviously )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tgeanin:
Hy!

Since i instaled this custom rom it dont work the sound of keyboard... if you have any ideea.

The recomadation

is time for an update of this rom and i sugest for next update to use NEXT Launcher, is a grete 3D launcher and i observe an impruve in battery consuption.

Grate respect for all your work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jwkk:
CyanogenMod !?

So I tried CyanogenMod 7 for Alcatel OT-908/Move and it's very good ! :good:

Since I did not go install (flash) gapps and it is unacceptable for me.

Please advice. I'd like to try full.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
this is that true ! I made a mistake but I cant fix it in ROM file so do it yourself

create folders /system/media/audio/ui and copy here content from /custpack/JRD_custres/audio/ui

do not forget to activate /settings/language&keyboard/android keyboard/sound on keypress (check it to hear that tick-sound even reboot )

yes good if you pay 20 $ anyway if you want to use it pay for it to support developer

no update because I have no idea for update and more I do not use this phone daily ( battery is weak I have to charge it 2 times a day )

anyway this phone is ok my first Android phone :)

Hello again my friend RUSCAN.Iv done some research to the cariers offerings and i came a cross to ZTE GRAND X IN for 10 euros 24 months.

What do you say,shud i go for it?????

"end of days" for smartphones too ?!

so here you are haha :laugh: (I like to talk about gadgets )

well, you made me curious .. very good (obviously ) for that price IN comes from Intel so it's the same as Grand X except for CPU/ graphics ( Intel/ nVidia Tegra ) but I think (according Intel specs) it has 1300 mhz and 1600 in turbo-mode but not big deal, but 64-bit cpu is amazing ! ( ARM has plans to release first 64-bit cpu in 2014 only ) on the other side it has only 1650 mAh battery and this is not so good for that display and cpu and more Android is hungry very hungry my friend :laugh:

... so see you here is the problem with these phones - smartphones get stronger and stronger but no improvement relating battery life, here is the non-smart gap - commercial reasons - people will buy it anyway :D - that's way I think "end of days" is here :D

..so buy it quickly ! do not just wait ! and post a review here!

NOTE

tomorrow is "end of days" day so buy it the day after tomorrow :D
