Recomadations for more internal space:

use this two apps "system cleanup" and "link2sd" both free in market.

System cleanup move apps in system and custpak and link2sd move the apps to sd but create a link in system so the phone believe the app is in the system, but the app is in the sd.

for link2sd you must make a partition to sd.

tnx!

Thanx ruscan.calin for tutorial how to Compile Kernel and how to pack it. Now I Have 800 MHz in My T-Mobile Move in Android 2.2 and thanx for config.gz for 2.3 becouse I have problem with compile 2.3.4 kernel .

;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
I'm afraid that freq is not "usable" 19.2x42=806.4 (based on oscillator base-freq) maybe you just changed freq table but it's not enough ( will show that freq but doesn't work at that freq - just check it by a benchmark suite - just look here to see results from Froyo) you need to edit cpu drivers to tell it how to use that freq table - you need to understand a bit C language anyway freq of 806 Mhz or more doesn't work ( phone reboots itself )

@ tgeanin yes good ! or use a2sd - it's best of I think

gb boot loader

hello ruscan calin - sorry i didn't include log files this time but it worked finally (i had to buy sd card and update with hungarian t-mobile Froyo - software after repair was havin' some bugs like turning on data transmition after screen lock ! ) and shown no updates :/ well so i managed to load GB from one of links you've included here (czech tmobile rom) but it freezes up (as supposed ).still i think that phone needs GB to work properlly so i would ask you about GB bootloader (or is that one included in rom image - boot.img).my second question is about doing the translation - i would love to do translation of that hungarian t-mobile rom of froyo so more people will have their phones working with no need to give them into service repair (wich in Poland is veeeeery awful).wich files should i change (i mean wich strings have to be exchanged or updated with translation or simple where to find them).

btw - sorry for my english.

Cheers

PS correct me if i'm wrong but it seems that stock GB roms are missing original recovery file in zip (froyo stocks have it)

Small problem regarding Alcatel Manager after flashing Robinson ROM - SOLVED

Thank You Ruscan.calin for this good work !

After i flashed my Cosmote Move using Robinson ROM, all works perfect except Alcatel Android Manager ... which cannot connect to phone using usb.

The reason is that Alcatel Manager Agent is missing in that ROM.

Solution:

> just install SingleSimAgent.apk (can be found on Alcatel Android Manager install folder)

> start it and choose automatic ...

... attached SingleSimAgent.apk from Alcatel Android Manager ver. 2-2-1209-2565.

You said is not posible, my move upgrade is asking me before start the update what language i chose and ai believe if him is choise romanian the telphone is upgrade to 2.3 in romanian and it will select from setings him language after the upgrade is done.

i believe this solution will work.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] junkie994:
Bro,there is no update starting,it says 'Your system is up to date'
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tgeanin:
that because you use ot 908 update instead of move update.

use move update and will work

Electronic Sky Media www.electronicsky.go.ro/tv
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
but enter terminal /connectbot

su
cat /proc/mtd

now you get mount points /partitions

for your interest what counts here:

/securo

/studypara

/tracability

/tuningpara

/fotaflag

/fota

in the order listed by command

now to backup these partitions on sdcard

busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd8 of=/mnt/sdcard/securo.img bs=4096
busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd9 of=/mnt/sdcard/studypara.img bs=4096
busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd10 of=/mnt/sdcard/tracability.img bs=4096
busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd11 of=/mnt/sdcard/tuningpara.img bs=4096
busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd13 of=/mnt/sdcard/FOTAFLAG.img bs=4096
busybox dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd14 of=/mnt/sdcard/FOTA.img bs=4096

now, a smartphone boots the same way a PC does first instruction executed /pre-loaded in cpu registers will search at a specific hardware address for a code this code knows how to load OS into ram memory ( boot-strap) so .. just because that code /bootloader surely is located at the same hardware address for every single ot-908 ... flashing these things for another phone ( another ot 908 I mean) will not hurt =no brick but it does not work (will not boot) because there are some parts from fotaflag (radio firmware ) they are hardware-dependent ( every single ot-908 has a different hardware ID)

...but say that one is from a country where GB is available by update software and for some reasons (...) he never checked it so he is still on Android 2.2 ... if you get these things /partitions on your phone ( suppose that in your country GB is not available ) and you check for update ( by move upgrade tool - phone will not boot with these partitions but you can press menu button- phone is off - and connect it to pc then start move upgrade tool ) ... there is a chance to "fool" update server thinking that your are from another country...so there is a chance

NO this is not final solution ..just your start point .

----------------------------------------------

another question is about languages/ locale ..well easy ... you have to decompile apk files (read on ot908.blogspot.ro) and edit some xml files in /res folder .. it's possible to add something on blogspot about this little subject

.. and about post #221 see you ..I made some mistakes with this ROM so I'm preparing a new update to fix some issues / add new languages / status bar modded with transparency and toggles / others ..update soon

... also I got a cwm backup from Macedonia so I build a new stock ROM .. check post #2 later

Problem with update

I followed the instructions in the first post, step by step, I had no problems. I tried to do updates from the move but I say I last updated firmware, then I flash ROM Robinson, but after starting the phone is locked to the logo. So I move back to 4.0. The phone is alcatel 908 vancouver. Where can I get the original firmware? So I could probably update to Gingerbread

Hi guys :) I've been looking for gb bootloader for our device and I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24862280&postcount=451# :) As I remember our recovery is based on the exact same model (OT 990) . So if they could do the trick maybe we can too (@ all stuck at Froyo) . I that post there are 3 packs of files nessesary to do the job . I guess we can exchange them to fit for our phone model so it can upgrade to GB without OTA update :laugh: That would be helpfull in future for creating Custom ROM's based allready on GB :) I know some of you got the skills needed to make this operation work (instead of me who doesn't) . So I have request for Ruscan.Calin to check those files and see if we can get anything usefull from it :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
well,

sorry to answer late I was busy

they use an update to GB (pack1 ) that comes from Telenor Hungary by FOTA update ( it is downloaded to sdcard as a .zip package when you check for update by FOTA so you can keep it for later purposes )

then patched a Froyo stock ROM flashed this patched ROM then applied that FOTA update

but you do not have that update or better check for it /settings/ about phone/ system updates maybe you have GB but know nothing about it :D

so check for update by software (move upgrade / one touch upgrade ) or by phone menu

for you because Move Upgrade is a working tool just read my previous post and do not forget : this is a cooperative work you need to work as a team a single person can't solve this problem

anyway Froyo is good enough I liked it !

... or buy another phone check Alcatel 991 / 993 or others

... I want to buy cheap tablet to use it as digital agenda recently tested a very cheap Vonino tablet and it was impressive

so buy a tablet what the hell ! :cowboy:

NOTE

In my opinion Alcatel made that job - released GB for this phone now it is about implementation ( this is a special case it is a phone made by Alcatel but branded to your GSM provider ) so it depends ONLY by your GSM provider to test and release it for your phone if they do not do it maybe they do not have the phone for sale anymore or even so maybe they are .... to lazy doing that :D

strange situation here about Globul Bulgaria because they are owned by Cosmote from Greece /OTE and here in Romania GB was released by Cosmote
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ruscan.calin:
I think you need no stock rom to check for update ( it performs from custom rom too )

..so if you are on custom rom just check for update if you get nothing that's it if you where on stock rom from orange vancouver situation should be the same

... yes do not try GB if you do not have official GB update - this official update will change "hidden" / fota partitions too here is the problem

@ ALL - just to remember about a2sd : one day I installed 100 + apps and moved everything to sd-ext partition and got lags so how to solve it ?

well, if you want to install many apps just move Dalvik-cache and apps on se-ext BUT nothing about app data

read more on blogspot for commands

a2sd reinstall

a2sd cachesd

but not

a2sd datasd

yes by this way you keep data for apps on internal memory - /data/data folder( it will take some space ) but you can still install 200+ apps so this should be enough :laugh:

New Build #2 CyanogenMod 7 by Ewra Project

hi.

its me again,some days ago we can fixed the trouble for data connection (thnx to Shkerzy) on CyanogenMod 7 for your device and now try to found how it make without individual compilation, only compatible zip based on build for our 990 and libraries from your roms.

also in kernel I added OC to 900 MHz,but not all our cpu work on freq hight than 787 MHz, new cpu governors, BFQ i/o scheduler, update kernel to *.35.14

Flash only on preinstalled firmware 2.3

1. before you must update your recovery to this correctly CWM

http://www.mediafire.com/?99bbankbnuxap6z (flash via old recovery)

2. after you can try to flash this zip:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yopw60x1frxfxnu/cm-7-20130205-EXPERIMENTAL-brandy.zip

3. then make the full wipe data/factory reset

users from 4pda forum said that now its work perfect and good

dont forget about backup.

thnx.

It works, but there are some drawbacks:

- Draped button back, menu and search

- Radio does not work

- I have not tested further

Indeed this can give the OT-908? Something hurts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gulyuk.s:
Are you have mean that Radio FM not working? If yes, then true, because FM module it is the same module for BT (bcm4329) and in kernel not supported output the sound via standart method of cyanogenmod sources.

These ports (miui,joyos) do not we and not give guarantees that they are correct.

But I'm working on a project the Lewa OS, last develop version at 5/02/13 based on LewaCode sources and on official update by LewaOS developers for Samsung S5280

Download:

lewa-build_65

compatibility_908-1.1

Flash via recovery first - lewa-buil_65 (rom for alcatel ot-990), than compatibility_908-1.1 and make wipe data/factory reset

For me its very fast and stable Rom, but for your device lockscreen wiil be large (need resize graphics)

Solution for Proximity Sensors - app Proximity Screen Off (and disable from system settings Phone - Performance - Proximity Sensors - Off)

"IMPORTANT ! -this ROM will work only for the case you already have an official Gingerbread update from Alcatel by Move Upgrade/ One Touch Upgrade/ OTA update ! if you are on Froyo/ Android 2.2.2 never flash this ROM - will simply not work !!"

I have a T-Mobile Move with 2.3.4 update. I have Croatian firmware. Will this work for my phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quaresma_7:
Okay, I answered this for myself, did the whole procedure and now I have a far more functional phone than it used to be. It is faster, it has much more memory for applications and this is actually the best part of it. Being able to install a lot of things and not fill up the memory or slow down the phone. But it seems to me that battery ilfe has decreased. Is it true or is it just because recently I've been using the phone more so it just seems to me that way? Also, the screen takes longer to turn on when I push the home button while on standby, as well as in a phone call, after I remove it from my ear.

Once again, great job on the custom ROM and all the modifications.

EDIT: I've just noticed that the notification LED didn't work when I had a missed call. Then I went into Settings to check if it was off. I figured out that it DOES NOT EXIST in the settings! This must mean that this ROM doesn't support the LED at all. Afterwards I noticed that it didn't turn on at all, even when unlocking the phone, or in any situation at all. Can this be sorted out?

update.zip fo gingerbread

Hi!

I might have something that could be of use here?

I have a 908f with 2.2 that I'd like to upgrade to 2.3 but which is not upgradable OTA or with the Alcatel/Move upgrade software. But my brother has a 908 that received the upgrade OTA. Today I looked at the backup that I had made when I installed your Robinson ROM to my brother's phone and found at .downloaded on the SD a file called update.zip. At first I thought this was the update.zip that I had uploaded to flash Robinson, but then I realized that it was not. This 82 megs file seems to be the OTA that was used to update my brother's phone, it has a lot of files on a patch directory that have a .p extension added, like if they were patches or similar, along with a custpack, a system and a recovery directory.

The recovery directory plus the META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary and updater-script sound well.

The metadata file says:

post-build=TCT/one_touch_908_YGES/one_touch_908_gsm:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/v6GL-0:user/release-keys

post-timestamp=1326376270

pre-build=TCT/one_touch_908_YGES/one_touch_908_gsm/brandylite:2.2.2/FRG83G/v63T-0:user/release-keys

pre-device=one_touch_908_gsm

Does any of this sound valuable?

Could this be used to find a way to update?

I'm a long time Linux devel, but new to Android, so I need help here.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

PS: I wanted to leave the file attached or somewhere, but I'm not able to insert links or attach (or so it seems), thus I'm leaving it at box . com / 908update

Still no way to upgrade to gingerbread

Even though I posted before an update.zip to upgrade to gingerbread, it was for a 2.2.2 version that I haven't been able to find around.

BTW, on my previous post I wrote an http url for box.com, it was lacking the http part and you needed to strip the spaces and add proper slashes, but the 908update file (the update.zip file) is still there.

That update.zip file is from Yoigo Spain, they had the 2.2.2 installed on their stock 908 phones, but I haven't been able to get hands on that rom.

Maybe anybody from Yoigo or something can get hands on that rom or has a backup of that one or something that may allow those of us without an official upgrade path to upgrade?

Some other way?
