[Windows 8 General] Talderon:
Windows 8 RT (Surface RT) as well as Windows Phone 8 incorporate a TMP chip that is mandatory. The chip is burned (at time of manufacturing) a key and the OS flash locks the keys together with what was burned into the TMP. Windows 8 Standard/Pro, this is OPTIONAL, with RT and WP8, it is REQUIRED. Unless someone finds a way to decrypt/re-encrypt this on the fly by reading the key and certs, you won't flash ROM's or dual boot or whatever.

In order to "install" Windows 8 Standard or Pro, you would have to find a versions of those that are compile for ARM, which you won't find.

Hope this helps lay to rest all of these ideas of dual boot and flashing and whatnot.

I won't say that it's impossible, devs and hackers have always found been very enthusiastic trying to find ways to get around things, but this one may not even be worth the time and trouble.

Just something to start the wheels rolling: http://wmpoweruser.com/trusted-platform-modulethe-secret-of-microsofts-attack-on-rim/
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
Didn't Macs use TMP, which was promptly bypassed to allow windows and OSX to use hardware it wasn't completely designed for? MS has done a very good job on the OSs so I have my doubts about how easy this will be but historically the OEMs have always screwed up when it comes to WP so perhaps, at least on first gen hardware, we may have more luck with them
[Windows 8 General] landwomble:
I highly doubt anyone will easily bypass secure boot...

I'll keep it short for now and update this topic start as needed.

Here you can find instructions on downloading & installing a preliminary version of Cyanogenmod 10 for Alcatel OT-995.

I'm fairly happy with the progress I've made recently, though it should not be considered stable. Some features are known to be broken, for others it's your job to point out missing functionality.

Links of interest:

Installation instructions

Downloads

Installation instructions

Changelog

Issue tracker

Source code

Please read the installation instructions carefully

Most basic device functionality should be working. A list of known issues (incomplete):

Video mode camera overlay may bug; workaround: launch regular camera, switch to video

Occasional artifcats on window transitions

Hardware video decoding is unavailable, use MX Player or VLC instead.

Not implemented: HDMI out, FM radio

The custpack partition is used to store /system/app, that's why a separate CWM images is required to install CM10 releases. This also means it's backup/restore functionality is currently broken. Advanced backup might allow you to just backup/restore /data though.

You may mention any broken functionality here, but I prefer receiving an issue report here, as that allows me to keep track of things more easily.

Do check whether your specific issue has already been reported, and try to be as detailed as possible.

You should be comfortable flashing/recovering your device - if not, this might not be for you yet - wait until we smoothen things out

Bring on the feedback. I'm sure I missed something in the guides or release.

Disclaimer: I'm still working on a best-effort basis, every now and then my spare time is severely limited..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Freon35:
Nice - nice indeed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vikram Menon:
many thanks for taking time and developing for ot 995. :D

it was just today that i had installed ics and now this??? my lucky day...

anyway, will help you in reporting bugs.... keep rocking.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
extra great news ! Iuss, i'm downloading it right now and flashing it :D Thank you very much for this release (even though is preliminary)

EDIT: I flashed it. Booting was quick. I was setting the phone and i restarted the phone.

So at first touch everything looks nice

- Scrolling is a bit strange (is scroll downward the screen goes up).

- The phone is charging and the LED is not lit.

- Camera works (photos, video, and panorama with some greenish overlay).

- Data not working. Confirmed.

- Wifi works

Tnx again iuss!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Thanks for the hard work, I'm sure this will be WAY better than Alcatel's ICS release. Just love me some jellybeans :silly:

Just booting it up now. Nice boot logo, I haven't seen that one before. Yours?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] emic2:
Yes, thanks very very much!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] warsylep:
Very nice indeed. :)

Testing it right now :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tcmixx:
First of all. Fantastic job! Well done! I tested the rom.

My experience was

# My camera and video worked pretty good. It took pictures and video was working. Maybe a little problem with the focus on Video. And some greenish with the transition between taken picture and camera.

# Wifi, Phone works

# No Data/3G

# Led Backlight keys dosen't work when u wake the phone up from sleep. But if u change the light settings the Keys lights up, and works.

# Multi touch works good and responsive.

Thanks alot an keep up the good work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zapadapping:
It seems very nice, but I'm confused because I was asked to unlock my sim again which was done when I bought it months ago, and it didn't even work with that code. What could be the cause, and would it work if I went back to ICS?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
tcmixx, can u be more specific about where is that option, because i'm blind :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tcmixx:
You should adjust the settings for your screen brightness. What i did was that I used the quick settings widget. There's an option for brightness click that one, and the backlight keys should light up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mightyjackstar:
Awesome start...

Iuss, CM10 is great. It has a few quirks, but so far I am loving it.

I have run into one issue, I can't create a Google account. I ran recovery, booted CM10, and went to create my Google account under System settings > Accounts and there is no option for Google, just Corporate and Email. Am I missing something?

I was able to manually download Titanium and restore many of my apps, but several won't load. That's too be expected though. But being able to create a Google account is pretty important to me.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Somebody wanna tell me where to find the" log cat" file please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wcypierre:
Try the automated tool at my siggy, it's easy to use :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Did you flash gapps? If not do that,then see if you're still not able to start your account. I flashed it before I booted for the first time and not only did I get prompted to start/login to an account, most of my apps were reinstalled. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mightyjackstar:
tumaini418, yes, I did (I followed iuss' instructions including the download links). Another odd thing that has happened is I have lost the ability to access SD Card through USB.

Fortunately I backed ICS before setting CM10, so I was able to Recover back to ICS, and I suddenly have access to my SD Card again. I'm going to stay with ICS for tomorrow as I must have a working phone, but I'll try ICS again later this weekend.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] emic2:
Could you say me if there is a CM9 build which should be totally functional?! It help me to wait CM10! :D

Envoyé depuis mon Galaxy Nexus avec Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
There is a Alcatel official ICS rom that iuss fixed so that anyone with this phone can use, but no CM9.

I almost forgot, the same rom is available in a tweaked and stripped version also. Thanks to mistercheese. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iuss:
These are the transition artifacts I meant.

As I feared. I'll try configuring an apn myself and see if I can fix it.

That was supposed to work, seems I had my brightness control set to 'half' (or whatever it is) - then it does work. Will replace the proprietary liblights - it appears to be broken and/or depend on framework hacks.

I'm confused - what do you mean by unlocking? A network lock, or the SIM PIN?

As other said, you either forgot to flash gapps, or used the wrong CWM image when flashing.

Previous releases (CM9 included) had less functionality.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
iuss concerning the phone asking for a sim pin. I got the same thing when switching from airplane mode. It's a popup. I tried to enter a pin I used in the screen lock before, but of course that wasn't it. It's very confusing because my sim has never had a pin to unlock it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deeler:
yep. youtube ok with official app. confirmed.

battery life is pretty good.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darkado:
My battery life is abysmal though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darksnoopy:
Can the camera record video in this rom?

edit: never mind, edited build.prop

will hardware decode be available in a future release?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deeler:
I can see live video, but can't press the record button, what do you mean with edit buid.prop? can you share?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darksnoopy:
copy-paste from issue tracker:

Regression due to disabling the hardware codecs. StageFrightRecorder appears to *require* a hardware encoder.

Need to disable metadata recording mode (debug.camcorder.disablemeta=1) or re-enable the hardware encoders.

Will fix this for the next release."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iuss:
Correct. I haven't been able to get another build out, mainly because I want to look into the RIL/SIM issues, but haven't found the time to do so.

On the topic of mobile data, I'm puzzled by https://code.google.com/p/ot995-cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=15

I initially thought the data interface needed to be configured somewhere - turns out it defaults to 'rmnet0' - that's correct, isn't it?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] darkado:
one more bug to report. sometimes the screen just freezes, i can hear the phone working normally, locking, unlocking etc but the screen stays frozen. the only solution is to take out the battery and turn on the phone again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iuss:
Haven't seen that one before. Also shouldn't be specific to CM, but rather a kernel/hardware issue..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zapadapping:
Hate to spam, but do you think the dodgy screen-behaviour Alcatel left for us is possible to fix without an upgrade from their side? I'm surprised relatively few people are bothered with it. Going left when you want to go right should bother most :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DennisJKA:
I experienced this weird screen behavior only on ICS. Neither on GB nor on CM10 :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darkado:
wierd, i only got it on cm10.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
I've read that some people have this problem, but that's one I never had with any rom so far. Sorry to say that it just may be hardware related for sure. That would suck.

It's kinda like bluetooth not working with CM10 and paranoid on my phone. I've only seen one other person complain about it. Everyone else reports it works fine. I can only conclude that it has something to do with this phones hardware. May be the same with some screens. Maybe they were calibrated wrong by whatever machine takes care of it at the factory. :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zapadapping:
Yes, it could be hardware related, but it should be possible to fix it still, because this behaviour didn't exist in stock GB. I tried the H1N1, and it was still there, albeit less. :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Yeah, it should be fixable. Maybe some kind of special tweak in the kernel can compensate.....

Of course I'm just an avid user. I'm just kinda spitballing. lol

bluetooth driver for this ROM

Hi guys, I've paired my phone with a win7 pc, but the driver for the bluetooth is not installing.

Any ideas where to find a (generic) driver to be able do up/download some files to the phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
try windows update maybe? :)

I can send u drivers installed on my win7.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deeler:
i did, nothing there.

The phone used to pop up with GB, but now maybe some identifiers changed.

I'm using Win7 64 bit, if you have the driver, please provide. thx

FYI:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
I'm using Win7 x64 too.

Here are the driver files i extracted from \system32\drivers....

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/57656281/GenericBluetoothDrivers.rar
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deeler:
thank you , but I guess I'll also need an ".inf" file, to install the driver
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
oh yes :) i forgot.

please let mi find the inf's and i'll update the rar file and after that redownload it.

Greetings,

edit: File updated;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deeler:
got it....thx

unfortunately ....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Try BlueSoleil. :)

It installs drivers that work with just about any Bluetooth device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Well i'm 100% sure that tumaini found everything on the internet to make his bt work :D

I'll see what BlueSoleil is :)

edit:

OMG. A BT Dongle licensed by bluesoleil is sold for US$67.19. That's the half the price i paid for this phone :D

edit2: for quick file transfer i use MyPhoneExplorer over WiFi. It's fast enough for me, and stable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
I use MPE too. There is a free version of BS( :D ) that's what I use. It's an older build, but still very functional. That is as long as you don't need the latest and greatest.

But you right. If all that's needed is the transfer of files, MPE is the way to go. Works over WiFi and with USB.

And don't think that Bluetooth crack went unnoticed. LOL! :D :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
you and your bluetooth hahah :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tonicco:
Have you guys tried AirDroid? It works flawlessly.

Link to Google Play:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] deeler:
thanks for the files and other help

since it works with you guys, I'm suspecting my PC's config, I'll test it on another one.

No need to put effort in this anymore.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eagleeyetom:
Thread reopened. Sources are available on Google Code page. However, please put direct link to them in the OP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darkado:
Great to see this thread reopened.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bonej:
I'm looking forward the next release! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iuss:
Just a quick note to mention that I've unfortunately been very busy, and as such haven't been able to keep up to date / work on CM (this will probably continue to be the case until the end of the month at the very least).

Seems something happened while I was gone for a few days. Was the thread closed? I'm sure it was a honest mistake on your end, but it would have been nice had I received an email/PM about it. I've got no intention of 'hiding' or otherwise withholding the source.

Thanks whoever contacted the mods to rectify the situation - I've added a link to the OP now for clarity.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
ius, i took contact with eagleeyetom for that, as he also closed my topic. but everytinhg was cleared in one hour, i thought you had been notified as he posted on this topic too.

anyway, great to see you're still on board, as i'm a bit stuck on the HW decoding ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Thanks a lot for this ROM my phone used to crash all the time and was extremely slow. Also the camera was blurry and crap as hell.

Would love to see how this ROM will turn out to be :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darkado:
new bug to report, ringtone doesnt loop.

feedbacks welcome as always
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
Before i flash this one question:

Does the backup / restore function of the cwm 6 works for the latest PA release or if i flash this then i'll have to flash a fresh install of PA?

P.S. tumaini is right, flashing can become adictive. :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
i usually use it without too much trouble.

sometimes, gapps become corrupt.

use the tar format by changing it in the backup menu ; it works better for me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
LOL sure is! :) :silly:

That function doesn't work. Just make a backup of your PA rom with cwm 5. Just boot it instead of flashing it. That's what I do anyway. Then boot into cwm 5 again if you want to restore your backup. :)

@Ben Is that the same AOKP? I mean is it at the status of CM10 and PA?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
no, the AOKP is still the older one.

when i try to compile a new one, it also has the bug on install, don't know why
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
I said I was gonna give it another try, but I forgot all about it. Think I'll give it a go since I have PA setup the way I like it and backed up. I'm DLing CM10 but I don't think I'm going to flash it. It's kind of the same as PA just with a few less parameters to tweak.

BTW, I DL'ed a PA version for my blade. You should be very proud, dev noob or not. The PA I found for my blade sucked out loud. I had it off my phone in just a few minutes after flashing it. Your releases are SOOOOO much better!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
I understand that easily :)

Thanks for your comment

But don't worry, next PA is coming soon...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fogerty4evr:
I installed pa_cocktail-2.55-20121219-121432-Utacka.zip and now the phone does´t boot. And I cannot boot into cwm to restore my backup. As soon I put the battery in the starts :( Does anybody have some ideas what to do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BENETNATH:
please post in general thread
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
Could someone who has the ICS bootloader make a copy of it and post it?

It's my understanding that it is flashable by fastboot or flash_image if you can get a hold of the entire thing so it could be as easy as making a flashable zip if someone can provide the item to flash.

Ooops, forgot the instruction:

1. Open terminal session

2. su

3. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=[path and filename of your choice] bs=4096

for example:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/mnt/sdcard/ICS_bootloader.img bs=4096
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mistercheese:

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

Thanks, could you MD5SUM it?

I'd rather not flash anything that i'm not absolutely sure will work since if anything goes wrong with this the phone will be of very little use. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
how do i do that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
md5sum [path to the file] right on the terminal on your phone would work. :)

I'd do it myself but i have nothing to sum it against.

Again, thank you for your efforts, with this i can help make a flashable bootloader that will just change the bootloader so any kernel will work on any Alcatel phone. :)

I'm trying to compile the kernel for touch recovery right now but it's behaving disgustingly at this point in time.

I'll be posting a multiboot thread about the 995 based on my script in a week.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tumaini418:
Sounds good. Being able to switch bootloaders would be extremely nice. Good luck with that. :thumbup:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
changing bootloader and multiboot are excelent news! tnx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Hey everyone.

Today I tried to install the newest version of CM10 cause its been a while since I last tried it and also because BENETNATH took over but when I try to flash the rom I get the following message:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

symlink: some symlinks failed

E:Error in /sdcard/Roms/cm-10-20121219-UNOFFICIAL-cocktail.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I am running on CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 (CM one)

Got the GB Bootloader

Someone got a idea how to fix this issue?'

--------------------EDIT--------------------

Just installed the newest CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5 (the one linked in the PA topic)

after only booting I get the following message in CWM

CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5

E:Bad boot message

" _ / "

and I get exactly the same error message as before on installing the ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aleksandar.1:
read the OP at least... you need cwm 6.x.x
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hylix:
Yeah I saw it and also tried it with CWM 6 (as mentioned in my edited post ;p)

But I still get the same error :crying:

Redownloaded the entire zip file and placed it in the sdcard root directory and it worked like a charm :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jinxxed:
There is a huge problem with swiping to scroll in this ROM and all ROM's based on it. A quick swipe down on the middle of a web page takes me to the top in Opera or Firefox.

It does scroll down as long as i keep my finger on the screen but as soon as i release it starts scrolling in the opposite direction.

It's not as bad in chrome as it is in Opera or Firefox but that's because it's just scrolls a lot slower and choppier.

It makes it unusable for daily use for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mrwargod:
Neither Opera nor Firefox ever worked well for me, not even in GB. So i allways used Maxthon or chrome when we start having ICS. I never had that problem in either of those. :-/
