Jellybean

Peeps, I tried to backread and I noticed that the new ROM for the Cherry Mobile Flare (Karbonn A9+) will now be on the works. May I suggest one thing, I am a newbie so I am not sure if this is going to be possible.

I got some pointers that I would like to have (as a user) in the "future" Custom ROM:

*Android Jellybean OS (not just a launcher) - if its possible, it will be so great if the new ROM would be a Jellybean since the CM Flare here in the PH is considered as a great rival and substitute for iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III (which is kinda expensive here).

*Removal of basic and known bugs.

*If we could also enhance the Volume of the Phone. If a headset is plugged in, the volume is kinda low for me compared to other devices (correct me if the volume is hardware-based and cannot be fixed by a Custom ROM)

*Make the phone more compatible with many high-end games. Just like NBA 2k13, I downloaded that game but to no avail. A user like me would always want to prove to high-end phone users that the CM Flare could do some or most of the things that their high-end phones can do.

*I also heard an issue about the stopping Music when a diff kind of headset is plugged in or speaker cable is plugged in. On my own opinion, I think the phone stops the Music when the Volume is maxed (user's would always max the Volume because as ive said, the volume is too low).

*On one of the forums that I have been always visiting, two of the members shared their issue with the Camera after they Restored the Phone into its Factory Settings. The camera still takes pictures when they press the shutter button, but the Camera is just blacked out, still, you can take pictures but its like a vision-impared person taking a picture.

*Especially, bloatwares should be gone AND ASIDE FROM ENHANCING ITS FEATURES, IT SHOULD BE BATTERY SAVING-oriented ROM.

Point here is, our Phone's specifications are so good but I know, with the help of the developers here, the Phone would be more powerful and can compete with the current high-end phones in the market. I am just sharing my thoughts, so that the developers would know if what would a normal user wants in a Custom ROM since the perspective or an ordinary user compared to an expert users like developers are very different.

Thanks! Respect to all of the developers, hands down, respect!

I wanna help you out with your sound problem... try installing dsp manager:D

Here's the zip http://db.tt/tP8JpOE3 .. install via manual method put the files in their respective folders inside /system and set permissions to rw-r--r
[Karbonn A21] jvctan16:
I was one of those with the camera blackouts. I agree with the JB port. I have my share of minor tweaks and testing of ROMs, so I'll be more than happy to test for the DEVs.
[Karbonn A21] Prince.Paul.K:
Great Going..

Great going arun.... Awaiting for the custom ROM..!!:good:
[Karbonn A21] romaragregado:
Thanks for the solution, though I am having a hard time installing it.

How do you install this again? When I extracted the zip file, I got two main folders which are "System" and "META-INF". Regarding the "System" Folder, do I paste that folder to the /system? Or do I paste the CONTENTS of the "System" folder to /system? And how about the "META-INF" what am I gonna do with this folder? And how do you set permissions? Sorry I am a newbie... :(

Thanks
[Karbonn A21] thirdzcee:
Disregard meta folder just paste the contents of system into the system folder... if done correctly u should have dsp manager as one of the option under setting>sound>music effects, or dsp manager appearing in your app drawer... to set permissions use root explorer... long press on the file and select permissions
[Karbonn A21] thirdzcee:
This is how the permission should look like

Thanks! Sound is better than before! But I hope that this would be included in the future ROM, but compared to what happened now, the DSP Manager should be hidden just like the hidden/native equalizer of the CM Flare.

I just hate having so many icons on my App Drawer.

Dude.... Karbonn a9+ is all about Specs....

Good device matching the specs of Xperia Go and better in terms of HW

Pros:

Screen, Camera, OS with zero customizations, Processor

Major Cons:

2 point Touch, low app space

Sir Yashgohel

Were you able to achieve 100% success in rooting your Karbonn A9+ ? I had a different thread from another author (droidiser) but the rooting procedure failed, so you are as of now the only rooting procedure left that I currently see in the internet.

Yes by this mathod i rooted my karbonn a9+ 100%.

[Karbonn A21] m.arun_kumar:
1. Guys this phone worth around 9000. so u cant expect a perfect touch screen, Gorilla glass and sensitivity.

2. You cant Expect a fastest Dual core performance. (it is a upgrade of cortex A5)

3. Camera shows some of an Artifact.

4. Ram 512, even though its less but better memory management done in RAM area.

5. Really worth for this price:o:o:o
[Karbonn A21] YaShGoHeL:
Bro RAM is only 386MB .:(
[Karbonn A21] m.arun_kumar:
its 512 mb bro... but 386 is available to users.. remaining memory occupied by OS files its not shown to users.
[Karbonn A21] YaShGoHeL:
Ohh so why in karbonn a18 shows 512 to userss??
[Karbonn A21] m.arun_kumar:
May be it have more than 512mb of ram.

I'm not familiar about mtk chip set

core apps like dialer.apk, msg.apk, mms.apk etc etc running on the background it won't display. Core apps take about 100 mb of ram

I may be wrong

Yesh but its better to be there unless you prefer to open the music player then tap on options then select equalizer than just going into the app drawer and opening dsp manager... its more convenient that way:D

So Till when u're done? :) :confused:
[Karbonn A21] :
Nice to see that there is an ongoing development with CM Flare, hope to have this ROM installed once I get the CM Flare that I ordered. I'll try to compile too once I get the device.

No need to wait for device for compiling. Try to compile n tell me error so that I can rectify them as I am still syncing my sources.

screen off animations

hey guys, is there any way of installing screen off animations manually like it was posted for the dsp manager .

I tried the screen off n lock app but it does not work with the screen lock button.

The crt style (old tv switch on/switch off style) screen off animation on the custom rom will be uber cool !

NBA2K13 crashing

I downloaded NBA 2K13 and I was able to play it. But always during the 2nd half, it crashes. I also saw an issue with Assassins Creed crashing.

Is this a known issue, and is there a fix for this? Thank you!

Last question, what kind of Custom ROM for CM Flare/A9+ would you recommend? I like the almost perfect one coz once I installed a Custom ROM, there will be no turning back nor updating.

Thanks again! Looking forward for a fast response!
[Karbonn A21] screwdriv:
you just need to copy meta-inf,resources and android manifest from the original framework-res.apk to the modified one using 7zip.. dont extract it. :) just drag and drop..

Thats how I do it,

anyway.. I did enabled crt animation effect by editing it on bools.xml, yet theres no effect after reboot..

so I've found this guide explaining some few things and I try to modified mine, Ive doubled check all the values but it always put my phone to crash when performing lock.

heres the Guide Im referring to: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2553-dev-enabling-crt-on-off-animation-in-roms-how-to/

Just replace the standard one with this and set permission, it will override any modification you've done on framework-res.apk and systemui.apk... Good luck

Good day. Please help! My unit keeps in boot loop. When I press the power botton, it only shows the logo of Cherry Mobile then it automatically reboot on its on. I tried to recover it through fastboot, but when im already in fastboot mode it reboots on its on. Is there a way to fix my phone.

History, my unit is just 1 month old. A day ago when i press the power botton to wake the phone, nothing happens so decided to remove the battery and install it again. Then I press the power botton then thats it it loops again and again. Please help Thank you very much

Fix to all bricked/softbricked/boot loop flare

Steps:

1. Go to youtube (I cant put links because of the 10 post limit thing)

2. Search Cherry Mobile Flare(S100) Latest Firmware Offline Update Flashing Tutorial the video should be made by John Marlou Bucane

3. Follow the video and TADA! its Fixed and updated! without the g-sensor fix though -__-
[Karbonn A21] alibasbas:
I'm currently running the latest stock firmware from Cherry Mobile for the Flare (Build number: TBW592241_8572_V000031) ROOTED. However, the earphone port sound quality output is inferior compared with other phones such as the Cherry Mobile Titan or iPhone. The poor earphone port output sound quality is very evident if you are using non-stock earphones such as the Sennheiser CX300 (the earphones cannot be driven properly). No amount of tweaking the equalizer using the stock player or Poweramp can fix the earphone port issue.

From the post of other users, the Beats audio hack rendered the phone's sound static-like (speaker mode or with earphone) with the only way to solve is to reflash back the stock ROM.

Is there any working solution to improve the earphone port sound quality of the Cherry Mobile S100 Flare?
[Karbonn A21] clintoy:
I too have same experience. I tried this with skullcandy heds with mic and i notice that if you press the headset button the sound is fine which makes me think that the pins may not be as common as other models. Can we reroute the pins in firmware?

i think this is for a different phone / device, it uses mali modules in /system/lib/egl . . .
