Is it possible to set a custom kernel to overclock this phone?

Or is it possible to overclock it with the current kernel any way?

I am not afraid of some manual configuration work or sqls, but I don't know where to touch.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baluuu:
I dont think prestigio have released their kernel sources. Can anyone that have rooted their phone tell me if there are other governors than performance in the kernel ? Cuz I didnt want to root my phone so i dont lose the waranty but the battery gain might be worth the risk.

there are, ondemand, userspace, powersave and performace for I/O we have noop, deadline and cfq
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] todortk:
I have seen them. Still I can't choose better than "performance"

Which is the better about I/O?

My experience is that the phone reacts a little slowly, so I would prefer performance than battery.

That is why I asked about overclocking, too.

OK, I have PAP 4040, with 785MB "internal storage", 2.00GB "phone storage", and 16GB SD card in it (14,7GB formatted).

If I understood correctly what two of you were doing... it is possible to:

a) switch sdcard <->sdcard2

and than

b) erase old sdcard (now sdcard2) and transfer all free space to internal memory EDIT: ok, so you can't do all space, but leaving just 50MB is almost same, fine by me :)

That would create one partition with combined space of internal storage + phone storage (785MB+2,00GB = 2,7GB) and one sdcard mount with my 14.70GB of space. And with correct mounting all apps (including camera) would use my 16GB sdcard as storage location, while 2,7GB of internal/phone storage would be left for Android system and app installation. EDIT: ok, so it would show as "Internal storage" of 2.70 GB, "phone storage" of 14.70 GB (really my 16GB SD card), and "sd card" of 50MB (really just leftover of phone's internal memory) :)

If that's all correct - could one of you create a small how-to with step-by-step instructions? I mean, I can recreate your steps mostly from what I'm reading here, but wouldn't want to mess something up if I interpret something in a wrong way from russian forums :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WRaven512:
the fastest way is this

get clean rom with clockwork

download this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11070101/sd-mod-pack.7z

unzip it and open ReParted-tool.data-sd1-1.zip with 7 zip

in file \ReParted-tool.data-sd1-1.zip\reparted\sd-size-mb.txt

write the size of storage you want to be added to data.

Close file save settings and put this zip on sd reboot to clockwork

i suggest to format \data and \sdcard it will take less time to re partition

then install zip from sd card

when its done put vold files in \system\etc and replace them change permisions to rw r r and reboot

after doing it about 4 times i think the there might no need to have this 50 MB but there is a need to write a correct size

i have replaced vold files in this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11070101/ReParted-tool.data-sd1-full.zip

so you need it to run it from clockwork i have set the size to 1900 but i don't know if its correct for each phone.

if someone do a test let me know if it work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] todortk:
As for SDCard and SDcard2

there are two folders in the root directory called SDCard and SDCard2

SDCard points to the internal phone storage (2GB)

SDCard2 points to the mounted SD card.

You may safely delete these folders (they are links only to /mnt/SDCard and /mnt/SDCard2 folders)

then go to a terminal (either in adb or terminal app)

and create the same folders as links to the same targets, BUT MISPLACED.

so /SDCard will point to /mnt/SDCard2

This will fix all apps that write to the SDCard to write to the real SDCard and not to the internal storage.

It is good Idea to transfer all contents of the internal storage to the card in order not to loose settings. Especially the files that start with "."

All apps that rely on /mnt/SDCard (probably prestigio proprietary apps) will continue to use the internal storage.

This fixed the camera App writing in the 2GB storage rather than 16GB card.

Thanks people, I'll try this this weekend (I hope I'll find time), and will get back if it all worked as intended :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar10s:
Well, of course we can do it. Actually, I have done it some time ago, but its "a bit problem" since the rom is ODEXED in default and also currently there are (to my knowledge) 2 versions of the rom - v.1.0.10 - which is the FW version which can be downloaded from prestigio site and v1.0.13 which is wht you get after the OTA update. And one more notice - if you use any of these things, no future OTA will work for you (because it is usually distributed as DIFF file update, not a simple replacement)

So, I have made a deodexed version of FW 1.0.13 (I did not tried whether or not will it work with only some files deodexed, I just deodexed all of them) and also, (because I prefer TWRP over CWRM) I made a TWRP for the PAP4040 phone (from the 1.0.13 rom, which (I believe) uses slightly different kernel than v 1.0.10 and also I think they are not cross-compatible), and I use it for every change I do. If you want any of the stuff I made, here it is (please note that if you use the deodex zip, the next (first) reboot will take a LONG time - probably around 5 minutes, because it will be re-creating the cache):

TWRP: http://www.uloz.to/xFXoZSd/recovery-img[

DEODEXED update zip http://www.ulozto.cz/xFnx462/update-deodex-pap4040duo-v1-0-13-zip

BATERRY ICON 1: http://www.ulozto.cz/x2NngHv/battery-icon-for-deodexed-v1-0-13-zip

BATERRY ICON 2: http://www.ulozto.cz/xdhDdeE/battery-icon-for-deodexed-v1-0-13-alt-zip

Sorry for the server, I will not post it elsewere (too lazy), if you have problem with it, ask somebody about reuploading it elsewhere. Also, I am sorry for it, but I think that one of the iconpacks is not working correctly, but I do not remember which (it has been some time since I flashed it), so if there is a problem, just try the other one, or return to the original/useable/working state by flashing the update-deodex zip. Also, If you do not like that particular icon I used, feel free to generate your own icon theme using the files from the zip and the site http://uot.dakra.lt/ which is exactly the site I used. And last thing - I fear I do not have stored the original odexed files, so If you think you would like to return back to "stock state" at some point in future, either make your own backup of /system/app and /system/framework ,or you will have to reflash the whole rom (Or you can try to ask really nicely for the original files, maybe you will be in luck, but not today...)

Small yet important problem.. it says that signature validation failed when I try to update via this ZIP. I did make a change from 1900 to 2000, since I have 2,03GB, so if I leave some I can still transfer 100MB more than you specified.

Do I need to change SHA1 hash values in manifest or something else?

EDIT 1: tried with your "ReParted-tool.data-sd1-full.zip" file (1900+modified vold files) - same.

apply update from sdcard

select zip

-- Install /sdcard

E:signature verification failed

Signature verification failed

Installation aborted

EDIT 2: tried with "non-full" version of ZIP ( ReParted-tool.data-sd1-1.zip ), same error.

EDIT 3: my bad, tried first with stock 3e recovery... now I'm making SOME progress with clockworkmod, failed to update with my own 2000MB version, but "ReParted-tool.data-sd1-1.zip " passed.

EDIT 4: ok, thanks for sharing. I've successfully updated with your "ReParted-tool.data-sd1-full.zip" through clockworkmod 6.0.1.2. Also, now when I got the hang of it I've successfully moded it for my partition size as well.

My PAP 4040 originally had following partitions:

- internal storage = 785MB

- phone storage = 2,00GB

- sdcard = 14,70GB

Now I have:

- internal storage = 0,97GB

- phone storage = 14,70GB

- sdcard = 1,63GB

I'm still strugling to get to about 2,50GB internal and rest in "sdcard", but I'll get there i guess :) Too many rookie mistakes.. I'll try it all on another PAP 4040 as soon as I can, now that I know where I went wrong I'll see if I can get a better workflow out of it :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar10s:
I was experiencing problem with CWRM 6.0.11 while I was running v1.0.13 FW with changes to phone partitions (resizing) (I belive that the resizing was the main reason of these problems), so that was the main reason why I made the the TWRP 2.3.2.3. But I see no problem with anyone using the CWM as long as it is working fine for you. Anyway I do not think one of these recoveries is realy better than the other - for me it is just about personal preferences....

Oh well, I hope everithing is working fine for you - I just noticed, that I forget to mention that it is not possible to mix v1.0.10 files with v1.0.13 without some problems, but I think its pretty logical, and well, who is still using 1.0.10 anyway, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuxZg:
After long and bloody battle phone almost won with a suicide attempt, but I got it working. Problem is, I can't get more than roughly 50/50 between internal memories. Most I got was what I have now, 1,64GB in internal memory, and 0,95GB "wasted" on "sdcard" memory that I'm not going to use. Still, it's 2x more than I had before so it's stil la good work, and I have my 16GB SDcard recognized as phone storage.

What I've experienced is a bit of a non-sense with that sd-size-mb.txt file. I've tried with 1900, 2000, 1536, 1024 .. and none of the results are actually what would be expected. seems more like tool is calculating it randomly. It must have some logic, but those numbers aren't amount that's being transfered between partitions, it's not the target size of any of partitions... it's just pure weird.

I'd run it again, but I'm affraid to get even less in internal vs sd memory, and like i've said, I had a dead phone for a moment there.. so I'll stay with this :)

I would post a link to the forum but it slovenian so i don't think you would understand it :D, i can PM you it if you want :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marlasr:
What value have you used in sd-size-mb.txt file to get figures above?

I guess it should say like 100 to have 100 MB in sdcard and the rest in internal storage, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuxZg:
Yeah, that's what I thougth at one moment, since file name is "SD SIZE" after all. But WRaven512 recommended 1900, so I thought that I must be wrong. I'll try once more with 100 .. I hope I wont brick my phone again :-p Sorry for typos, typing on frrezing cold on phone while walking LOL :D

EDIT: ok, fixed typos ;)

And yes, THANK YOU! So the number in txt file is size of sdcard target size after all! Thing is, it's not exact, you lose some on partitioning/formatting. That's why I got 0,95GB with "1024" input in "sd-size-mb.txt", and that's why I have 93,38MB now after doing it all with "100". Since most of time I've used non-round numbers, I'd get like 1,36GB when I should have gotten 1.5GB, and so on, and that's why it made no sense.

Thanks again, and yeah, now we've got a perfect solution :) And I have PAP 4040 with: internal storage = 2,49GB, phone storage = 14,81GB & sd card = 93,38MB :)

I have installed ROM Toolbox, and tried to change stock font with something else, now phone is not booting since then (staying on boot animation).

I can go to recovery mode (Vol Up + Power), i did cache clean; restore user data; restore factory settings, all with no luck.

With Vol Down + Power i can go into factory mode. But i never figured out how to get into download mode. My hope is when get to download mode to flash with stock rom or something else that would help me with this situation.

Alredy tried Vol Up + Vol Down + Power combination with no succes. (just vibrating for 20-30 sec. and gets off then)

Combinations with pulling battery and powering phone with usb does not work for me.

Thank you , very much.But I have some questions:

1.In PAP4040DUO is version 1.0.10 from 2012.11.01, stock firmware on this phone.

Then Drivers, Manual and instructions for installation of firmware step by step.

If something happens to your phone during root ,or flash CWM, or other problem flash it again that firmware.Is that correct ?

2. ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2

Horza's post for CWM - SP Flash Tool's throw recovery.img.Dar gives no detailed explanation, perhaps with some pictures, how to do, how they look and how they work good.

There is another method to flash recovery.img size 5107712 (this is the file for CWM?)

The original is - recovery.img size 4,280,320. With MobileUncleTools.apk can not flash CWM?

Or MTKDroid Tools - If so, which version 2.2.5 or 2.4.1.First contains a recovery folder with 2 files - (- exec-'-system-bin-sh'-failed - No-Such-file-or-directory-(2) - _700101__boot_patched_120923-042456 and - exec-'-system-bin-sh'-failed - No-Such-file-or-directory-(2) - _700101__recovery_120923-042456) . Second , not have this folder .How it works?

Finally going to look like. This is a picture from a PAP4040 with CWM, adapted by Bruno Martins.

3.ROOT.

To link Russian are 3 files:

Root_Package_120906_ (by_sgg)

Root_Package_120816_ (by_sgg)

Root_Package_universal_ (by_sgg) 120814

That you used? Last - universal.The zip file containing 2 folders :META-INF and system folders and installbusybox.For root install from CWM recovery: Install zip from sdcard - choose zip-zip file?? Or you do differently?

I still have two functioning with runme.bat: Root Android 4 ICS and Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21 - Bin4ry script - the latter contains many more files.

It seems easier at the root of this, but I use it?? Can be made unroot, village must flash again V1.0.10?

Flashing only part of the ROM

•	In case you want to flash just one part of the ROM, that is also possible. In the shown example, only recovery image will be flashed.

Deselect all parts except the one(s) you want to flash and then press F9 (or hit Download button).

For CWM with SP Flash Tool can do it?

These are files Firmware folder PAP4040DUO_20121101_V1.0.10:

userdata.img

Copy them to a new folder and overwrite in FirmwareWork(new folder) recovery.img with recovery.img file size 5,107,712 - that is CWM

Then the SP Flash Tool tick only recovery.img and flash.

How to make MicroSD SD Card as phone storage in MT6573/6575/6577 phones

Ever had a problem with your Android smartphone on MTK MTK6573/MTK6575/MTK6577 CPU that application is only downloading to the phone storage and you can not move it to the MicroSD card?

Here is a quick solution. The following solution will only work on a rooted phone. Most of the MTK MT6575/MTK MT6577 phones being sold at the T&K Online Store are rooted by default (Unless otherwise stated)

Please download and install ES File Explorer.

Enter it, Go to Menu>Settings>Root Settings Check “Root Explorer” and accept both the ES prompt and SU prompt.

Then check Mount File System

Return to ES Main screen, Long press the first Favorites icon unless the path will turn to /

Go to /system/etc and press vold.fstab

Find there the following lines:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard

emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host/mmc1

Replace the sdcard with sdcard2 and sdcard2 with sdcard so that it will look like this:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host/mmc1

Now press the Menu button and press Save.
