Hero!!

It worked like a charm. I've searched everywhere and knew I had to edit the vfob file, but some people were complaining about getting stuck at boot and nobody gave an answer how to solve that. I never really trusted myself to edit the file because of the risk of having to re-flash the phone.

Only thing I need now is to find the original JellyBean camera (not the paid version in Playstore), because with the original UMI camera you can't specify the storage location of you pictures. It puts it on the internal memory and I want it to be saved on my external memory. I use 'Camera Zoom FX' also, but I really like the stock JB camera app.

Did you select an aspect ratio of 4:3 and did you select the right camera (rear, not front?). Because then 13MP can be selected (which is actually 12.6).

And on performance..What's wrong with that? The MTK6589T is a good performer, but not a stellar one. My UMI X2 performs as expected and comparable to other MTK6589T devices with similar specs.
[Android General] chasepoes:
After using it for a while, I found out that it doesn't completely solve the problem. If I use the file-manager that came with the UMI X2, the internal storage is still listed as the SD-Card and vice-versa. When looking at the storage in the android settings, both are also still swapped. No biggie, because it's otherwise working as expected (ES file explorer for instance displays the cards correctly, and apps are stored on the internal memory by default), but annoying non the less.

Why should UMI do this? It's counter intuitive and it's not a one time mistake, because it's in all the ROM they brought out for the UMI X2.

Better UMI at same price!!!

Guys, I ordered 3 UMI X2 from pandawill (sku41720 US$ 229,99), the first one came 2 month ago and worked at 1.2ghz, the other 2 came 2 weeks ago and they work at 1.5ghz!!!! I don't know if they send me the mtk6589T version or just an unlocked mtk6589.

The antutu score for the first phone is 12450 and for the new ones 15470.

How can I check exactly wich CPU it has?? Antutu says:

Model: MT MTK6589
Cores: 4
Frequency: 497.25 ~1508.0 MHz
[Android General] chasepoes:
If it's running on 1.2GHz it's the MTK6589 and if it's running at 1.5GHz it's a MTK6589T. So the first phone they send you is not the Turbo version, the other two are.

3 G problem

Hello,

I totally happy with this phone. But I have one problem.

I use it with 2 sim cards. (Vodafone, O2)

At the moment, the phone shows the following behavior:

1) After a few ours or a day I have no signal on the internet sim card.

2) I deactivate 3G.

3) I have reception again and 2G internet.

4) Then I activate 3G and immediately I have no reception.

5) If I turn off the phone and I remove the battery. I wait 5 seconds. Then I start the UMI X2 and I have a very good reception for hours. Then the cycle beginns with step 1.

Does anybody has a tip or a solution for me?

Kind Regards

Michael
[Android General] the_nite_owl:
Can you do this without reflashing the phone?

I tried to edit the file but it will not let me save. The phone is unlocked but that file will not overwrite, I assume because it is in use by the OS.

I edited the file in the ZIP file in case I have to flash again but would rather not have to go through that right now.
[Android General] alndks:
You have to edit the file with root explorer from your phone.
[Android General] chasepoes:
Yes you can. You have to make sure you got write privileges in the directory where the file is located.

I highly doubt that they'll be releasing the details we really need. It's the same thing with sony when they released their source code for the xperia c. The necessary files are just not there for them. Sadly. So until they analyze what Xiaomi released, i say don't get your hopes up.

[Bootanimation] Marvel and Dr. Who

Hello, I made 2 bootanimation for UMI X2, one with the Marvel intro and another with the Dr. Who new intro.

This bootanimation are similar the this videos, but modified just a little.

Video intro Marvel

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0yg2S3viSk[/YOUTUBE]

Video intro Dr. Who

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLBZ3CZrW00[/YOUTUBE]

The Marvel bootanimation has better quality, the Dr. Who one was downloaded from youtube and it looses quality on the transformations. Both are in landscape mode.

DOWNLOAD:

Bootanimation Marvel

Bootanimation Dr. Who

Copy both files (bootanimation.zip y bootaudio.zip) to system\media y assign rwxr--r-- permissions with Root Explorer or another similar program.

In desc.txt I put the letter "c", so android will not cut the bootanimation when booting, it will wait untill the video is over. If you want, you can change this letter for a "p" and it will get cut as soon as android boots.

Here are some tips I discovered when doing this bootanimations so you can make your own.

1) In desc.txt, put resolution at 1080x1920 or 1920x1080 (depends if you want vertical or horizontal), but the images must not be at this resolution or the video will be very choppy. A good relation between quality and velocity is 540x960.

2) You can use JPGs and PNGs, but JPGs works better.

3) Put the FPS at 30.

4) For the video to finish just before the Android boots, the bootanimation must have approximatly 160 images (in a MT8569T with 1GB RAM).

5) Works great with mp3 at 128kbps.

I hope you like this bootanimations because they took me a lot of work.

Cheers.

Finally managed it. The system was still mounted read only and I finally found a file explorer that had an option for remounting with write privledges. I used FX File Explorer with the FX Root Explorer add on.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

I have finally received the replacement screen for my girlfriends Voto X2. I hope to replace the broken screen tonight and will post more on the process when I am done.

For what it is worth to others who have cracked glass, my girlfriends glass was fairly smashed on the bottom right corner with radiating cracks up the screen. She tried using windshield crack repair fluid to fill in the cracks and solidify everything which was working pretty well except for where the damage was the worst and there were pieces loose and ready to fall out. She tried using some super glue to hold those loose pieces in position but I suspect the super glue might have disolved and gotten into a part of the LCD underneath as the screen quit working after the super glue was applied. The phone is still working but the screen just has a slight glow and does not display anything. The digitizer still seems to work as the phone had an alarm set which goes off every day at the same time and sliding your finger across the screen shuts off the alarm.

The windshield repair fluid seems to be a good way to fill the cracks and stabilize the glass. It becomes a lot less noticeable once the fluid fills the void in the cracks though it is never going to be perfect. It is a possible option for anyone with a cracked screen who cannot yet purchase a replacement as they are still $135. which is close to half the cost of the phone.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

My VOTO X2 does not have the same volume adjustment other devices with Jelly Bean have. If I hit a volume button on my Galaxy Note I can then press the icon on the volume line that allows me to change the audio volume as well as the ringer volume.

Does your Voto/Umi have that option? If not, anyone know how we can add it in? Is it just a different APK file?

If you DO have that option then it may be that I reset my phone to stock when I was having problems with it and it wiped out some configuration option that was applied after the stock rom was installed.
[Android General] chasepoes:
Please do. I'm eager to know how easy or hard it is to open up the Phone.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

It can't be done with an alteration of any setting as far as I know. Ringer and audio-volume are linked by default. Only when an app uses audio and you operate the volume rocker you are able to set the audio volume by itself. You can use the GravityBox Toolbox however. This toolbox gives you lot's of opportunities to 'customize' your Phone, including seperating the various volume controls so you can set them independantly. The toolbox can be found here

If it's indeed delayed until April, then this really sucks. The MTK 6589 phones' marketing are turning out to be a big joke. None of them are anywhere to be seen despite all the hype and whatnot, aside from the THL W8 which "only" sports 1 GB RAM by the way. The ZTE V987 has been released at the beginning of the month, supposedly but I can't find no reviews yet... I guess we could say at least THL did actually release their MTK 6589 phone...

[Android General] abirjin:
There is a very good reason why Mediatek 6589 phones are not available at the moment, its because of the Chinese New Year during which millions of people who work in the factories migrate to their homes in rural china thus the factories seize production. Even supply of phones from Indian brands such as Micromax has come to a stop as they source components from China.

Btw anyone who wants to see the Mediatek 6589 in action should check Micromax Canvas HD aka Micromax A116 videos as it uses the same processor but with 1gb RAM and 720p screen.
[Android General] Basyvava:
Yeah I know. Point is some of these phones were announced and hyped for a release date around end of February. Anyway, I can't make up my mind whether to wait some more for the likes of X2 to be released or go and bite the bullet with a ThL W8 or a Star n9589.

Also was looking at this as I prefer the slim bezel but not sure its better than the two above

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDFwtsEQbec
[Android General] chasepoes:
Which is better? This depends mainly on what you think is important, so that's hard to say. But I'll try to make a comparison for you:

CPU/GPU: Same in both phones, no difference
Memory/Storage: Same in both phones, no difference
Screen: 5 Inch, OGS laminated, FHD, Gorilla Glass II - no difference
Bezels: Smaller bezels on UMI X2
Battery: 2500mAh in UMI, 2000mAh in W8S - UMI Wins
Build quality: No real difference
GPS Reception: No difference
WiFI Reception: No difference
(some have reported problems with WiFI reception on both phones. Both my phones work great)
GSM/3G reception: Good on both phones, no real difference
SIM: Both phones have DUAL SIM/DUAL STANDBY
Buttons: W8S has physical home button, UMI is al capacitive
Backlight buttons: Backlight on UMI is uneven and weak - W8S wins
Camera: Same on both phones, no real difference in quality of pictures.
Accesoires: W8S comes with (crap) headphones, UMI comes without headphones.
Charger: Charger on UMI X2 is more powerfull, Phone charges quicker (500mAh on W8S vs 1000mAh on UMI)

TO sum up, there's not much difference between the phones. I think the UMI X2 is a bit better looking then the W8S. The UMI X2 last longer on battery, mainly due to it's bigger capacity battery. SO I'm using the UMI as my daily driver.

ROMS: There are no real custom ROMS for MediaTek devices, due to the lack of available sources. For the W8S you can find the GravityROM, which in essence is a stock ROM with lots of tweaks. This ROM is no longer actively maintained. The developper of this ROM is putting all his time in developping and maintaining the GravityTool box, which brings al the tweaks and feautures to all Mediatek based phones (and then some). So no real difference there either. You can find some tweaked ROMS (with all the chinese apps removed for instance) for both devices on NeedRom.com.

I think it comes down to looks. The UMI is a bit more expensive then the W8S, but is also a bit bitter looking in my opinion.
[Android General] ady702:
Thanks for the great reply chap, the UMI seems to be slightly better but is abit more expensive. Will have to think hard :good:

No, Im sorry, you can not change res w/o disabling the capacitive buttons, but you can have soft buttons by editing this line: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
