You mean the boot.img I used to modify recovery.img to CWM? If so, then I found it while searching for CWM recovery.img ported for our device and applicable in our latest Android 4.2 firmware through Google.search. Both files were uploaded by a guy from Needrom What's wrong with that? It works perfectly! Otherwise look up at Needrom site.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Look, I've been a little hasty in my first jovial reply,:crying: You may take a look at Needrom site. A member by the name Benoit31 has already uploaded a build.prop for our gadget. It resolves the problem of deep sleep only partially as for now. But I carry on correspondence with him on this matter and he promises to work out a new advanced build.prop addressing this problem. Here is the link http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-b94mb943-2/
[Android General] JBrandtner:
The link I know, but the other is very good news! Great! :good::good::good::good::good::good:

Hi folks!

Maybe disabling the LED blink for notifications might help deep sleep mode.

At least my phone keeps going deep sleep after receiving a sms right now,

didn't do that yesterday.
[Android General] Neodragon12:
LOL ^^ ....No good news, i'm Benoit31 from Needrom.com (and from Frandroid.com too) :)

So the build.prop is not going to solve the deep sleep issue. I've tried many tweaks, sleep modes and collapse modes, without results.

I've also tried some init.d scripts and improvement on IO Schedulers, and always nothing ... :/

I've also completly stopped the notification system and auto synchro system into the ROM, and same bad result.

This is why i'm saying that the problem comes from the Kernel itself, and specially from the SystemClock API (systemclock.sleep) which is taking the account of the time deep sleep is sleeping. I figure out that deep sleep mode is still working fine...

For the moement i don't know how modifying it, so this is why i hope we could take another kernel from another ROM, and replace it.

Besides, i'm always working on a MOD ROM, tweaked with tons of improvements. It will be a Droid Razr i Edition for the first launch, with new boot logo and bootanimation (already working but still not finished).

I'm suffering having an audio mp3 or ogg sound playing at boot, if somebody have an idea (i already installed the init.d bootsound, don't work)

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Someone knows what is the audio internal playback Engine for JB 4.2 ? It seems that Stagefright is not used here... or i can't see it in the binaries (/system/bin)

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Uuh ^^ could you explain how you did that ? :)
[Android General] veradg:
could disable the bootanimation from build.prop? How?
[Android General] emard:
Oh! Benoit, very sorry if I messed everything,:crying: but I think it's not the worst idea to have you here as well. At least someone will tell the people HOW and WHAT:)
[Android General] Neodragon12:
I'm sure there is silent people here who are far much better than me ^^
[Android General] emard:
It's much better to have a live and speaking friend who is humble than a thousand proffesionals who do nothing in this respect and keep silent:laugh:
[Android General] Neodragon12:
LOL ^^ sure it is :)

And i've settled by boot audio problem, i was just needing a bootaudio.mp3 file in /system/media. I've spent several hours installing scripts for nothing :/
[Android General] JBrandtner:
Where do i disable that?
[Android General] slein:
I used your rom and build.prop, thanks for that :)

Applied the NVRAM WiFi fix (changed the MAC...), uninstalled a couple of APPs, deactivated gtalk, disabled account synchronisation in system menu, uninstalled SMS app and switched to pansi sms, installed 'cpu regulierer' to switch to deadline io scheduler and hotplug (default anyway?) and created profile for blank screen to keep cores from going over 500 MHz. Deep sleep worked until sms was received, battery went from 100% to 99% during night to tuesday...

Today deactivated blinking LED in pansi sms (and whatsapp) and turned off screen on if message received. Deep sleep ok until now.

Will need some more testing though...
[Android General] mite_jan:
guys i think these are some good news for those who have microphone problems

replacing it is solving the issue i saw 2 russians did this and they both confirmed

as i can see on this picture he used the microphone from the handsfree/headphones that comes with the phone

have a look here

i hope i won't have to go through this procedure

there were some apps that you can turn off the led

p.s does the stock 4.2.1 rom has battery percentage implemented ?

if not have you tried to implement it ?

[Android General] Neodragon12:
Nice ^^ I've already changed the SMS application (for the one from 4.1) and tried an app which plays with LEDs, nothing better for the deep sleep until now....
[Android General] bvinken:
when i have the phone with 4.2.1 and v7 band do i still need this fix?
[Android General] flat__line:
but you can still have a look at partial wakelocks ...

Who has LED ? My phone does not have any notification LED!?
[Android General] veradg:
I think refers to this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
[Android General] vltr:
the phone does not have notification LED, but software is trying to use it and I think that is our kernel bug we were looking for. I installed "Notification light switch widget" from google play, switched LED OFF and phone is going into deep sleep very well :) thanks :)
[Android General] cmoegele:
WTF if this is true , I could hardly believe that the chinese developers are so stupid. This LED issue is known since the first MTK6575, it was on my 6577 and if your right should be now again in the 6589 devices ????? I thought about that, but never tried it,..
[Android General] slein:
[MENTION=5199463]Neodragon12[/MENTION]

IMHO the key is not turning on the not available LED.

Writing to /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_blink (not there on B94) might cause an unhandled exception in some apps, which in turn might lead to unreleased wakelocks.

Today an unanswered call stopped the deep sleep in my phone, sadly you can't turn off that led notification :(

Later found Lite Flow Lite app that intercepts notifications via accessibility service and modifies them to not use led.

Deep sleep works after unanswered call now.

On the other hand it can be used to send test notification to led. Guess what happened: deep sleep stopped working.

Started writing small app+service to block notifications writing to led device as veery crude fix.

Maybe just routing notifications through a service that handles exceptions gracefully would do the trick.

Both wouldnt stop apps from writing to led via api...

Best solution would be a dummy driver interface for LED device, but who has Kernel sources?

But maybe i'm walking the wrong path...

-----------------------

They've been doing this kind of sh*t for years??
[Android General] mite_jan:
regarding the MTK6589 source code look what i found

[Android General] Neodragon12:
Yeah !! nice, it works fine ^^

I've searched the API for Led Notifications, but it's a nightmare. And i didn't find a way to set it in the build.prop

A first look for my custom ROM "Droid razr style" :)

looks nice but why copying another phones styles

what's changed appart from the build.prop and added some apps

and when can the download link be expected

hurry up my phone is coming :)

edit : ok i saw what you have changed in your video

any gapps with it ?
[Android General] okupka:
Amazing, it works!

Now something that autostart with off. Other aplications mentioned here does not work for me(maybe its with my hands :D ).

But it does not solve problem with max frequency when charging with display off("ghost led" stays on all the time). But after unplug deep sleep works fine.
[Android General] bradstallion:
this is absolutely great!!!!!!

Thanks a lot!!!! :)
[Android General] vltr:
if you turn led off with this widget and reboot your phone, it will automatically turn led off again :)

Ok thanks ^^ i'll probably make a Nandroid backup by myself ;) I hope we'll see sooner the official or a custom ROM one day ....

For the Miz Z1 quad core, i'm sure it's not a fake.

This is a video where u see it at the lock screen (definitly it belongs to the 4.2) and at 2min07 on the device information page. Whereas the video title is wrong :/ :

Same problem with the Amazon app store here also. Also Netflix plays in slomo and focus is bad. Will update if I find or fix
[Android General] fmehrtens:

I have the same problem. Could you please explain in more detail what you did? I downloaded the same file, copied to the system/app folder, set permissions and rebooted, on reboot I saw that system files were changed......still not working. Hmmmm

Thank You

Nevermind, she's working now after disabling "Locationengineermode" and another reboot. Looks like I may have been over zealous after rooting.

Thanks

Good luck
[Android General] bradstallion:
Hi All,

I've installed NetworkLocation from the above url but... can you explain what kind of problem does it solve? :)

Has it something to do with AGPS services?

Is "disabling Locationengineermode" mandatory? Can I unistall it?

Thanks a lot (still trying to find a solution for Amazon app-shop...)
[Android General] fmehrtens:
location

It looks like the location engineering mode is for cell tower location? And the Network location got my wifi location working. I will have to turn on the location engineering again to get it to pick up cell towers again.....Learning curve
[Android General] angryfish99:
Thanks a lot for the tips! Now my Google map can locate itself in just 1 sec from Wifi, haven't tried out the Cell tower locations.. will try tonight.

I did not disable the 'LocationEngineerMode' stuff, actually in 'app' settings it's greyed out and not able to be 'disable'd...

Anyone has made the Cell tower location working?

Cheers,

Fish
[Android General] fmehrtens:
cell

Cell tower location still not working. Maybe its cell provider?
[Android General] angryfish99:
Just tried, Cell location not work either... does NetworkLocatin.apk does both wifi & cell location? or there's another apk does it?
[Android General] bradstallion:
I confirm: cel location doesn't work.

What about GPS performance? as first impression, it doesn't seem so good.
[Android General] radekfor:
Cell location is not working, but i am searched. And found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715375 .

Maybe it is better.

I tried Version 0.9.11.

1 copy to system/app

2 set permissions to 0644

3 clear data Google service framework

4 reboot
[Android General] bradstallion:
thanks, I've just tried, but it still doesn't work
[Android General] bradstallion:
I've noticed that, after installing NetworkLocation.apk, Location Engineer Mode is disabled.
[Android General] radekfor:
i think i solved cell location problem.

Simply install latest Gapps for JB 4.1.2 http:/ /goo .im /gapps/ gapps- jb-20121011- signed.zip

I dont know if higher version will be working.
[Android General] bradstallion:
Ok, I've flashed it. The good news is that GTalk is up and running, but Maps still doesn't find my location! I thinkg Network Location is still not working...
[Android General] ArcrossTech:
Thx mate, worked great! :D
[Android General] bradstallion:
does network location work for you? How did you tested it? I run Maps and click on compass: it doesn't find my location

thanks
[Android General] radekfor:
I tested it and I think its ok.

I tried switched off wifi and gps.

Then I run Maps, with latitude and synchronize. After a few seconds I have inaccurate position (it is cell location based).
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Hello, sorry i don't understand your question. What do you mean with "User it" ?
[Android General] mite_jan:
does this means the deep sleep issue is totaly solved with this Notification Light Widget ?

if yes what would be the increase in battery
[Android General] vltr:
IMHO we can say it is solved - i have no problems with deep sleep after disabling LED :) .. about battery saving - i will be able to say something in few days :)
[Android General] slein:
Thanks :) didn't believe this is available!

Downloading the JB source tree right now, as the readme for the kernel says so.

Really like to try some things, ROW, that led driver...

You can use "CPU Adjuster" to limit the cpu frequency in screen off mode to min value,

saves a little current during charging :)
[Android General] okupka:
Already using with charger profile, but without it it will be even better :)
[Android General] JBrandtner:
The same here, wiped my phone today and set it up again from ground up, disabled LED and tested deep sleep with SMS, WhatsApp, mail and call - it worked. Now charging....

I'm using SetCPU, created a profile, "as soon as screen is off, don't go over 500MHz" - but it has no effect. As soon as i connect a charger frequency goes up to 1200 MHz...
[Android General] michelrochette:
Case model

I have a B94M. I am looking for a reference site to buy a case.

Thank you! to provide me with reference sites.
[Android General] emard:
Actually, none of CPU control progs does anything to improve the battery, you know what I mean. I used them starting from AnTuTu CPU Master Pro and down to SetCPU for Root Users. All in vain. Yes, the progs perform - but without effect :( You only get a subjective feeling that something is doing something, but in the final analysis you return to the beginning. And besides, you want to have a powerful gadget and not a feeble contraption. :D "Notification Light Widget" is really working, thanks for the tip.
[Android General] mite_jan:
i was searchinf for a case too

doesn't matter if it is hard plastic or silicone but i think there are non for this phone

there must be something going even if it is some small advantage

it is not same if processor is 1200mhz and 250mhz usage
[Android General] Neodragon12:
For who is able to manage it, i found the suspect API for the deep sleep issue, thanks to Slein of course ^^

Can find it in API com.android.providers.settings system.

The user setting is set in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/database/settings.db/system (sql data base).

The service is "notification_light_pulse", must be set on 0
[Android General] mite_jan:
can't you just put Notification Light Widget on another phone where debugging/logging is enabled/monitored and when you make the switch see what does it changes so the app wont be necesary
[Android General] Neodragon12:
yep i'm searching too, what kind of command the widget send.

I've already looked the services list from a terminal, and there is nothing but just "notification" for android.app.INotificationManager.

If i found it, i will be able to make a script to stop it at start

[Android General] emard:
It is not a religion! To believe that something should bring at least miserable advantages at the expense of efficiency and functionality is a great mistake! It's all just a play of mind. There will never be miracles untill Google finds an adequate workaround. You live mostly in the sities and what is the problem to give your device an extra charge? Just think in advance, plan your actions, bring an auxiliary battery along in crucial situations. If this does not meet your objectives, buy a military radio station! :D Certainly, if you have real problems like superquick discharge, then either repair or try everything there is in software stock (IMHO).;) Of course, I don't exclude some gimmicks that really help.

After Upgrading to 4.2.1

(In fact I cannot confirm if this is related to the upgrade itself since I did the upgrade just after receiving the device so I never used it with 4.1.2)

I detected the following:

1. Talk over Bluetooth from my car. The voice quality on the remote end is very bad consistently (machine like sound) and after the call is finished the phone sort of reset the SIMs, basically it is not a phone restart but I need to enter again the SIMs PINs. This is each and every time I have a bleutooth call.

2. When connecting the Speaker mode for a call, I get a high frequency tone feedback on both ends that make the call impossible.

3. Quite often, when changing WIFI hotspot, the connection gets stuck, I need to reset the WIFI to get WIFI connectivity again.

Just to share the experience and check if anyone else has seen these effects, and of course in case someone can assist with any of them

thanks,
[Android General] AustriaBoy25:
my first post here:

I'm using this phone since one and a half month, first with 4.1.2 now with 4.2.1.

I ran in a little problem these days ...

after charging the battery thru the hole night the phone say's it's 100% fully charged, after rebooting the phone it says that there are only 54% left.

Then plug it in again, wait 10 minutes - 100% again...

plug out - restart - 54% every time

and of course I'm having the problem with the instable 3g, h+ connection (both simcard are from the same provider - A1 Telkom Austria), but I can life with that, because I diable the data connectivity when I'm not using it to save battery life.

[Android General] mite_jan:

it is not religion for that guy but a fact

you can also see the consumption when in deep sleep

[YOUTUBE]lU9yW57zxcM[/YOUTUBE]
[Android General] okupka:
Check baterry level from service menu > * # * # 4636 # * # *

Fully charged should have around 4200 mV.

Or try resetting battery stats in CWM.
[Android General] slein:
Nice find! You can simply use Settings.System.putInt to write to notification_light_pulse :)

Best thing is, its persistent, non volatile. Write once and as long as no other Apps changes it, it stays off.

I attached a small app, it reads and writes that value.

At startup (the App, not boot) it only reads the value. To write, press disable led. Please test.
