i hope there will be stable Lewa release soon for the Amoi n828 so you can adapt it to the Star b94m

so every friday new updates for Amoi , would that mean that you will follow the same for the Star ?

for bootanimation it is complicated yeah

except if we can modify the original bootanimation from LEWA with some text or something

or convert some already made video to pictures and make it like that
[Android General] cmoegele:
OK, perhaps someone finds a cool bootanimation and we can include it.

I think if it is running stable there is no need to update every friday.

Perhaps I make incremental updates if necessary

there is data folder in zip file where you can insert your favorite apk´s and they will be preinstalled.
[Android General] Nukomod:
MTK6589 or 6589M?

Does the Star B94M quad core have a MTK6589 or 6589M CPU? The 6589M one has a lower-clocked GPU. A similar phone like this (Lenovo A820) has the M version. Perhaps someone could test it with the 3Dmark: Ice Storm test? The total score should be above 3000 (and of course it's important what the Graphics score is).
[Android General] mite_jan:
the graphic is SGX544 so you are good to go

score of 14k in antutu must tell you something
[Android General] veradg:
Ice Storm Score = 1614

Graphics score= 1314
[Android General] cmoegele:
Okido here we go.

LeWaport_Star_B94M_08.05.13_cm04

without Multilanguage support, the links given where based on MT6577 devices and I did not get the patch running on our device.

Perhaps some more experience devs will have a look in this ;)

So besides updated Lewabase there are only little changes like boot_Logo, bootanimation, logo.bin

Instructions and Download link on #1
[Android General] Nukomod:
That's actually the Ice Storm Extreme test, not the regular Ice Storm test.
[Android General] mite_jan:
dude MTK6589M is not even out

it should appear from the second half of the year if not by the end of the year

and that doesn't mean that it will have lower graphic card

the MTK6589M will support WCDMA, TD SCDMA, and EDGE at the same time but the downside will support HD not FULL HD like the MTK6589

graphic card is another story

i think you were refering that some sellers combine MTK6589 CPU with the old SGX531 GPU
[Android General] Nukomod:
Look at the GPU speed of the MTK6589M: i.imgur[dot]com/lnQJStG.png
[Android General] mite_jan:
i am getting the phone tomorrow probably

please make the backup :D
[Android General] Nukomod:
Can the quad core version play 1080p videos by the way? Has anyone tested it yet?
[Android General] nierere:
xD

Sorry so long to make the backup but I have things to do in college.

I tried to install the drivers but I've had this warning and the programs do not recognize the phone.

any step by step tutorial?

-h ttp://i44.tinypic.com/ftj3x4.png

pd: the phone has a default recovery mode (not twrp or cmw). which is the combination of keys and what features?
[Android General] mite_jan:
it wont take you much time to make the backup

i think it has default chinesse recovery (not sure if you will understand the chinesse characters to make the backup )

you can go into recovery by pressing the volume + (or -) not sure and while holding it press the power button and hold it for 5 seconds

as far as for the drivers if you don't have windows 8 there should be not a problem to install them , but if you have windows 8 you would have to disable driver enforcement from startup

install the drivers manually from the first post or from here http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Recovery_and_Root.rar

if you install the drivers put CWM recovery through SP Flash tool and make backup from CWM

i am telling you this from remembering how i did it for MTK6577 phone but it should be the same
[Android General] mite_jan:
phone came and it is from the newer models with black mat bezel and newest firmware

Wifi tethering doesn't work!

Hi all,

I've just noticed that wifi tethering doesn't work!

B94 creates the network, my pc connects to it, but than it's unable to go to internet.

A friend of mine has the same problem. I've the needrom 4.2.1 rom.

Can you test it?

Thanks
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Yep it works fine but your PC need to have a DHCP connection (automatic adresses). Tested from my laptop under Windows 7 64bits ;)

It should be a DNS problem if your PC is set on your home box DNS

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Yeah fine ^^ Does it mean you have the ROM 4.2.1 dated of beginning April ?
[Android General] bradstallion:
I have DHCP enabled, I can connect to other WIFI (or LAN) network. This is the only network I have problems with.

Does someone else have the same problem?

Thanks
[Android General] Neodragon12:
What kind of error message do you have when you open your browser ?
[Android General] bradstallion:
I have an IP assigned, routing tabel is set correctly and I can ping the router (B94), but every IP outside this very private network is unreachable.

USB tethering works.

It seems to have problems routing WIFI tethering to 3G connection.
[Android General] Neodragon12:
It comes probably from your base band version (modem). I have Moly.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V7 (22/03/2013)
[Android General] bradstallion:
How I can I check it?

Thanks
[Android General] Neodragon12:
In Settings/About your Phone

But in fact i don't think it comes from here....

It's a real DNS (domain name server) issue.

Try this, add these lines in this file /system/build.prop , at the end

# DNS Tweaks

net.rmnet0.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.rmnet0.dns2=8.8.4.4

net.ppp0.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.ppp0.dns2=8.8.4.4

net.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.dns2=8.8.4.4

Restart your phone in recovery mode, make a wipe cache and dalvick cache. Restart the phone.
[Android General] mite_jan:
yeah 04/06 but i have already settled the phone with apps and my email :)

also going into TWRP is so hard and the picture flickers on grey background, doesn't go into TWRP when i hold vol + and power (but somehow i managed to open it and i rooted it)

btw i noticed autobrightness doesnt light the display to the end (it is more dimmed under bright day) i have read about replacing some services.jar , will this help ?

also deep sleep is broken here too (i have applied MTKNoLED but still phone doesn't go into deep sleep) could this be becouse i don't have the value in build.prop ?

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

for me the first time acquired the ip adress corectly but the second time it kept rerouting me to the router page so i put the adress static
[Android General] cmoegele:
If you follow instructions in #1 you can enter every time twrp. There are a lot oft tools you can do the same,... Mtkdroidtools, mobileuncle, quickboot,....

For the flickering screen you might have another LCD and need perhaps other kernel for this. But once we have your backup we can fix this:)

Tapatalkmessage sent from Star B94M quad :)
[Android General] Neodragon12:
No idea for the auto-brightness...

For the deep sleep mode, yep you should probably set it in the build.prop

#Powersave tweaks

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

pm.sleep_mode=1
[Android General] bradstallion:
thanks a lot, I'll try it. Anyway, I don't think it's a DNS problem: I've tried to ping an external IP directly and it doesn't work.
[Android General] okupka:
Try to turn off fast boot in accesibility and then off/on not just restart.
[Android General] nierere:
I use the zip drivers needrom but a message of "mt65xx ..." and progrmaas not recognize the phone. use windows 7 on a pc and windows 8 on another. occurs in both. the combination of keys to the default recovery does not work.

1) the battery works fine from 100% to 50%. from 50% to 0% falls very quickly.

2) Sometimes secure mode is activated instead of recovery mode. secure mode?

3) sleep mode may not work quite right with 3g. with wifi works very well even with notifications enabled (twitter, fb, whatsapp).

Maybe it's because this enabled the synchronization of "google keep" with 3g. I'm not sure.

4) widely used phone maximum and minimum frequencies. not scale well intermediate frequencies. the phone uses 1200mhz, 497mhz and sleep mode. intermediate frequencies <2%. I guess it's a kernel bug

5) When the screen is off and notifications are enabled, the phone does not waste battery (almost). I have a vibration or sound activated and notifiaciones arrive in real time.

the phone only spends a significant battery when the screen is on.

PS: is there any way to install the keyboard with flow of nexus?
[Android General] cmoegele:
Can you giv emore details, which Rom you use ?

We know that there is lot of room to improve the phone, but as long there is no dev with our device we have to live with this little bugs.

With last 4.2.1 and Lewa I can go 2 days ( 2x Sim and Wlan always on ). So with optimized kernel and streamlined rom, there should be 3-4 days possible.
[Android General] Stuffed-up:
Hello all

I have a few questions for you all.

1/ Would any one be work on porting Ubuntu touch for this phone ?

2/ How hard would it be to create a port of Ubuntu touch

3/ Would our phone work with Ubuntu touch in the first place

I was going to update to 4.2 but two many people seem to be having to many issues so I think this maybe a easier option to just staying with 4.1.2 for now.

On the Ubuntu touch I would be keen on hearing from anyone who maybe working on a port of the phone software from Ubuntu.

Let going forward.
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Too many peoples have issues with 4.2.1 ? Your sure ? This ROM has been downloaded more than 400 time and i don't see 400 people crying because the phone has big issues. For the most part of us issues are just details. As far as i am concerned i have no problems with JB 4.2.1.

And if I leave my phone alone it easily lasts three days...
[Android General] nierere:
I put pictures on previous pages.

buy on pandawill. is a factory version 4.2.1

pd: while the battery was charging from 0% was fine from 0% to 60%. then jumped from 60% to 100% ... wtf??

does the battery is defective?

I am trying to calibrate it for the second time
[Android General] mite_jan:
battery metter is broken for me too

it was 90% then i have restarted and now it is 27%(but after restarting again it is back to 80%)

this will corect by itself i think , it is too early for battery stats maybe

how did you fixed gps to find satelites ?

edit: GPS fixes with enabling epo and agps

edit: deep sleep solved with adding the 3 lines

i am wondering if i should apply the other fixes from your build prop benoit

so far only issue is Autobrightness for me

if anyone know something to fix it speak :)
[Android General] nierere:
1) gps works perfectly for me

2) deep sleep works perfect with widget led (led off) with wifi on...with 3g not sure (maybe it's because I have enabled synchronization with "google keep" when I was testing 3g (3g only). notifications on (fb, twitter, whatsapp, calls,etc) with deep sleep perfect. real time with wifi.

3g not sure :S

3) when battery is charging jumps 60% to 100%...and when is discharging and it is below 60 the battery is discharged quickly

these days proves the other battery. this battery may be defective (or miscalibrated)
[Android General] Neodragon12:
make some tests and keep what is best for you ^^

For the battery i had some troubles too. But only when i was rebooting the phone. Sometimes i went from 60% to 20%, and when i charge the battery behind, the level goes up very fast.

Don't take care of this, it is a well known problem on jelly bean 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.

In general, the battery behaviour will stabilize by the time.

Our batteries are cheap, not as smart as the batteries of most expensives phones. It doesn't mean that they are bad quality.

The good way to stabilize the battery:

Make 2 complete charges and discharges. First charge with phone shutdown.

Then prefer short charges than complete (not good for the health of your battery).

And you should prefer wall DC charging than PC charging, It's faster and it's may not distort the results as the PC loading does.
[Android General] mite_jan:
i have included them

ok so does anyone have good working auto brightness ?
[Android General] mcdust:
Hey guys,

Am I the only one who is experiencing reaaally slow charging? The phone takes ages to charge.. like 6-7 hrs..

Also in have a problem connecting the phone to my PC via USB.

When I activate the USB connection nothing happens.. it doesn't get recognized by the PC (win 7)

Im using the 4.2 ROM from needrom..

Also where can i change the values of the build prop to enter deepsleep?

Can anyone give me the path fo the file? Already got root and led notification off..

Thanks..
[Android General] nierere:
1) I've been testing the battery with the phone off. when it reaches 100% I unplug and plug it back. 99% mark. takes about 5 minutes to get to 100%. I've done it about 5 times with identical results.

2) my phone takes (aprox) 1 hour to get from 0 to 100% of battery but it seems that is not 100% real :rolleyes:
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Wow, first thing to know about the batteries, they are full charged at 100% + 25 minutes ^^

You should try the apps Battery Doctor, works great ;)

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Hi buddy,

Add at the end of the file in /system/build.prop these lines

#Powersave tweaks

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

pm.sleep_mode=1

Then restart in recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Already said in page 52 ^^

For your 6-7 hours charge, it's normal if you load your phone with a laptop from 0 to 100% ;)

For your usb problem, think to enable the debug mod in your phone
[Android General] kerlsern:
Hi guys. I have ZTE U950 and I was wondering is it worth to change it with this Star? I know that Tegra 3 may be faster than MTK6589, but the lack of accessories and custom roms (well, there are custom roms, but they're not giving significant performance over the factory firmware) makes me think about changing the phone. And as I see, ZTE will not came with 4.1 for it. My concerns are the heat, the battery life and the 3D performance. I get 12180 points in Antutu 3.3 with custom rom, but the battery lasts for few hours and of course some games like AvP Revolution are lagging at some of the scenes.

With the last factory firmware the result is about 13200 which doesn't sounds pretty well for a phone with Tegra 3 and res 800x480.

So is it worth to sell U950 and buy this Star? I see that it's doing very well with the 3D games.
[Android General] nierere:
I've been testing 3g after full charge of the battery. with activated notifiaciones (fb, twitter, whatsapp, etc even sync with google keep) sleep mode works perfect;)

pd: little time at intermediate frequencies ... "little" bug xD when this bug is fixed the battery lasted more

My only problem with this phone (I'm very happy with it. cost me $ 166) is the battery (not shown real percentage).

below 50% battery runs out very quickly (<1 hour).

taking into account actual usage. 1 day battery life with use moderate-high (much use whatsapp, twitter, facebook. screen on. not gaming)

if I'm in college and I am not all the time using the phone. 1.5-2 days battery life

dude this is not for the star s5 , dont post here !

anyway my phone says OUT OF SPACE wtf ?!

internal storage is 466mb used and 1.0gb free

i have tried the repartitioning from the spanish site but it gives me some error

any solution to this ?

hmm strange installing apps from playstore doesnt give me out of space
[Android General] Neodragon12:
For the Wifi Tethering. Works fine. The proof
[Android General] Neodragon12:
This is my current tweaked build.prop, the only thing really different from my ROM and yours.

Download here: https://hotfile.com/dl/218288198/c71ab0b/build.zip.html

Extract it and copy the file to /system

Replace the present build.prop, and change the rights to rw-r-r

then restart in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and restart

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

Your system space storage is full (/data). Move some apps to the Sdcard.

You seem to use big programs, maybe you should buy an external SDCARD
[Android General] mite_jan:
internal storage is 1.0gb free and yet is says that , sdcard also free space

there is no way i can fill 1.5gb so fast
[Android General] Neodragon12:
I'm talking about your System place, it's different from internal sdcard.

The ROM takes around 600 Mo

The Dalvik cache (virtual RAM) takes 264 Mo

It let you only 250Mo to install apps on your phone storage (different from internal SDCARD !!!)

On my ROM i have 1.5 Go for the system and only 500 Mo free, without tons of apps.

You, with only 1 Go, you are really short
[Android General] mite_jan:
i am not talking about internal sdcard or maybe they were going to the internal sdcard (didn't checked that )

but i have also selected to go to the phone storage still same message

i have 1gb free and 500mb already filled and it is saying that ...

anyway i have tryed the repartitioning from the first post and i always get this message (the post says retry couple of times but no matter how many times i try still same thing)
[Android General] Neodragon12:
This error means that the preloader you use with SP flash tool don't match with the one of your new firmware.

Flashing your phone with the ROM from needrom is the only solution .... i think... waiting for other opinion
[Android General] cmoegele:
It is not the preloader, it is the Scatter file itself which does not fit to your current phone partitioning.

Try to generate a suitable scatterfile with mtkdoridtools and I´m sure you can flash with it. BUT NEVER do flash Preloader if you are not 100% sure its the right one for your phone !!!!! And before flashing or modifying make blockwise backup of your phone.
[Android General] mite_jan:
exactly i am not flashing the preloader but just EBR1 and EBR2

hmm how should i create the new scatterfile (any tutorial)

i have tried also meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit (english version) but after clicking 2.77 and wipe data/factory reset i was stuck in a bootloop , maybe i should try 2.5gb

EDIT : repartitioning to 2.5gb went perfectly it is just that i have now 273mb for phone storage that probably i wont use for nothing , can i disable it somehow or the only way is to repartition to 2.77gb to dissapear

confirmed again 2.77 gets you in a bootloop
[Android General] mcdust:
Thanks mate,

Turns out i already had those lines in my build prop. Also charging takes 7hrs on a original 1000mA HTC charger..

This shows that pc is connected to B94. Even my PC connects to B94.

My problem is that B94 doesn't route it via 3G, so I can't access the internet.

Anyway, I trust you when you say that it works for you :)

A friend of mine, with the same problem, tried installing Lewa with same results: USB tethering works, wifi tethering doesn't...
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Sure you can, look i made a ping test to 8.8.8.8 (google DNS). And i went on the forum by this way too ;)
[Android General] bradstallion:
Oh, I didn't know it was google DNS! :eek:
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Yeah the most widely used DNS in the world (with 8.8.4.4 too) ;)
[Android General] mite_jan:
problem solved , it was the app that was saying out of space , after deleting its data on the sdcard i have installed it without a problem

so if anyone wants to repartition the easy way here i have uploaded the app (just remember to choose 2.5gb and after that wipe data/factory reset)

http://www.mediafire.com/?9fy525l2os2soxj

maybe put it in the first post

and btw yes the scatter file was not correct with that zip in the first post

you can install the ebr1 and ebr2 if you use the scatter file from the rom on needrom

also for the gps edit the gps.conf file in system/etc

just edit the first prefix for your country

default it is "cn"

btw do you find the speaker not so loud ?

i have went into engineering menu > loudspeaker > and the max value was already 156 and i changed it to 160 but no improvement , looks like it is on max
