mainly to isolate cable wires

what should i isolate , how can i isolate the mic , it is so small , or do i need to put on top of it tape

aluminium and antistatic bag blocks the interference

With wipe data / cache ,.... (I´m using TWRP advanced wipe )

If yes you probably have bad hardware, I have 2 phones from different sellers and on both there is absolutly no problem with the right image.

I had problems at the beginning with 4.1.2 stock and later after tweaking the audiosettings on 4.2.1 (the mic got to sensible (echo, noice,...)),

but now with Lewa for me its perfect.

Hello,

Someone have the logo.bin from MIZ Z1 I have forgoten to save this and I need to send my MIZ in SAV

Thx
[Android General] mite_jan:
i had various results for the microphone isolating it with electric tape and aluminium tape

the aluminium tape is giving me some better results

still to early for happiness

but yeah either put aluminium tape where the antenna is located or around the microphone and the background interferences should be reduced if not gone ...

easiest fix from a russian fellow

Hello. Android 4.2.1 ROM for Lewa there is no possibility to have the language in Italian? With this Rom there are improvements in the audio? Thank you.
[Android General] mite_jan:
ofcourse :)

btw i didn't wanted the aluminium to be seen so i put it bellow the middle plastic on top of the microphone

works either way

background interference is gone

i just hear my voice on short intervals if you hear closely (say a letter and you will hear it repeated)

but not a big issue

now only the low battery deep sleep problem to be fixed

Hi Neodragon

I used your below post to change my IMEI Numbers which worked but would you know how to change serial number ?:good:

Now to the comment to my post about issues with changing to need a rom 4.2.1 rom most of us are new to this and find most things hard to understand sometime and what to you is maybe easy to me & maybe others is hard to get our heads around sometimes.

Didn't mean to upset anyone by my comments but your reply was a little over the top I feel as we all just want some help.

Cheers.

You can flash logo with cwm or twrp too. Just open my file (few posts earlier, stock logo.zip) replace the logo.bin repack it with normal compression (max can cause problems). Copy to sdcard and install in recovery. :)

screenshot below

View attachment 1973117

UPDATE: I fixed the phone finally and this is how I did it.:victory:

1/ go to device manager and make sure the MTK driver is installed as there was a different driver installed in my case.

2/ I tried to see if sp flash tools could find the phone which it could.

3/ I did a full Firmware upgrade using the 4.2.1 from need a rom and waited for it to finish (it takes some time so don't rush it)

4/ unplug usb cable and try booting up phone (for me it worked)

Now this may have be just luck on my part but it may help anyone else that has a **** of a friend who like playing with things they shouldn't.

P.S Sam invoice for repairs is in the mail Ha Ha HA :laugh::laugh::laugh:

ofcourse but i have the newest build 04/06 , backup first in case you are caught by bootloop

i can tell you what i did and you can change on yours too

best way to copy the new framework is from CWM but i managed somehow to copy it with cp command from the sdcard (but it was pain in the ass)

on the previous post i have marked what values i put to zeros with red color

http://www.mediafire.com/?429iymh9ooysdrw

now i am seeking a way to make the light sensor work for autobrightness

[Android General] kecsap:
I corrupted my framework-res.apk earlier with a software and I already replaced back to the original once. The easiest way to boot into CWM mode, open adb, remount the system partition with r/w and upload the new apk with the put command.

Can you post what steps did you use to disassemble, modify and reassemble the framework-res.apk?

I use Lux:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux
[Android General] mite_jan:
yes the easiest way is to remount r/w but by doing that i always get access denied or something like that

so for me the only way was to copy it with adb shell

i have decompiled it with APK Multi tool (you need to have java installed)

and choose 9 option > decompile framework

after that in the project folder find the file \framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml

change the values i have mentioned and then with the apk multi tool compile it back (there is a option for compile with system app) and follow the instructions from there and choose something for less errors , it will ask you to delete androidmanifest.xml (i have only deleted that file)

after that if you know how to make it flashable with CWM flash it that way or either with the remount command if it works for you

i did it this way

copied my new framework to the sdcard and used this command cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

your phone may hang at this moment becouse you are directly copying it but after a while i have restarted the phone and everything was ok

as far as for the lux brightness

the sensor is not detecting any light it shows only 800lux and it is stuck there so i am not able to do something with that app

sensor is not proper working
[Android General] Augustine02:
I will pay attention to this kind of mobile phone.
[Android General] emard:
Dear friends, regarding the autobrightness problem, I post here a CWM flashable patch that was used on Star B79 phone with Android 2.3.6 in the hope that our specialists here might look into it and using the components try and make one for our B943 gadget, based on JB4.2 kernel. For the people ingnorant of what it is, please, DON'T ever try to use it on this phone because it replaces Phone.apk and you will brick your machine. It also allows to change the background of GSM antenna to black colour. We will surely be much obliged for the efforts.;)

http://www.ge.tt/7iaZaAh/v/0?c
[Android General] mite_jan:
i don't think there are that kind of specialist here :)

if only the sensor was registering something than i know how to change the values
[Android General] emard:
OK, guys! No need to make patches for autobrightness on our phone. Just install Velis Auto Brightness from Play Market and you will have fullfledged autobrightness control over your system. Quick, efficient and REAL! For preliminary settings you may go to http://forum.china-iphone.ru/star-b94m-b943-4-5-qhd-mtk6589-obsujdenie-otzivi-t26438-1180.html and look into my post #1184 there.

[Android General] giusprenc:
Hi;

I am trying to follow your approach. However, I studied the apk multi-tool, and at some point it requires to install the framework with the command:

apktool if [framework-name]

What framework did you install (there are several on the apkmultitool web site)?

Thanks.

Regards,

G.
[Android General] mite_jan:
yes i have seen your post and yes it kinda works but it is far from going to 100% brightness

for me there are like 2 stages for the autobrightness like 30% and 50% following your thread

you put your own framework-res.apk from the rom you are using (located in system/framework)

then you should put it into a folder called place-files-modding or something like that and then continue the guide

i have write it from remembering

and you dont need to open cmd and write

there is a batch file that gives you option to choose only with numbers
[Android General] emard:
Very strange! There's a setting of 1400 lux=255 (maximum) which is way lower than actual maximum. It really springs to 100% even with a cloudy sky with me and the guys from my thread. The screen turns into flashlight, I would say. Works perfectly and moreover it does not corrupt deep sleep. :confused:

Custom ringtones workaround

Why don't you put your ringtones and notifications into appropriate folders in /system/media? They will cease to be custom after that and will appear in the settings.

I have some problems with the phone.

1.When I charge the phone from the power socket the phone starts to "touch" everything on the screen and If I try to touch something the display is totally uncalibrated.

as of today there is official stable 4.2 release for the AMOI n828

cmoegele are you going to port on this base
[Android General] alexander.angelkov:
My charger have output 5.2V 500mA and I think that the problem is with the voltage, because it`s 5.2V and every adapter have +-0.25V. On the other side the USB port has output of 5V. I will measure it tomorrow to be sure.
[Android General] kecsap:
I have similar issue with my phone and to my understanding, it is quite common with Chinese phones: when the phone is connected to the charger/USB cable, the touches sometimes work, sometimes "ghost touches" happen on the screen or I tap somewhere and the phone recognize the touch somewhere else. I read this issue for other Mediatek-based Chinese phones and I experienced with my Exynos chipset based Chinese tablet as well.
[Android General] cmoegele:
This is because of a bad charger, plug your phone to PC and look if you have the same problem!?

Buy a "good" one from Samsung, htc,... and you won´t see this anymore.

A "bad" charger can destroy your phone.
[Android General] mite_jan:
i wont agree

when i plug the HTC charger which is 5v 1A the ghosting happens (charger is good , i am charging the HTC Desire with it)

with the original charger 500a and even with 2A there are no ghosting

yeah ghost touches are common when charging with the chinesse , i would not bother so much with it

btw did you see the stable Amoi release ?

I had some trouble rooting my device, stock 4.2.1 (came in the mail today) .

So for anyone who wants to go through the same process this is what I had to do:

I started with the steps JBrandtner provided.

But when I flashed the recovery I couldn't get into TWRP. I tried and tried again but ultimately I had to install the 4.2.1 rom from needrom first.

After this getting into recovery was a breeze and root installed without problem.

Sorry if this has been answered but...Which one is the quad-core version? When I do a google search for either number(Star B94M or Star B943) they all list as quad-core. This phone seems to have most Roms as of right now out of MTK6589 phones so i am thinking to buy one from aliexpress(alibaba.com) and have now seen one listed at amazon.com. confused:. Can someone tell me which of the MTK6589 quad-core phones has most Roms(custom roms)?

Edit* To make it even more confusing, Amazon has one listed as: Star One B94M - 4.5 Inch QHD (960*540) capacitive touch Screen 3G Smart Phone Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Dual Core CPU 1GHz with 1G RAM GPS 8MP (Black)... But then the description says:Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, NOW UPGRADED with MTK6589, 1.2GHz CPU quad core 1GB RAM, 4GB ROM. The fact that its listed at only $145 makes me fear its the dual-core though.

Radio FM issue -- LEWA Rom

Hi;

I just found out that the FM radio is not working (I have the last LEWA rom installed): in particular, I start the FM radio app, and I do not hear anything (earphones are connected).

If I check using MobileUncle Tools (Engineer Mode-MTK, Connectivity, FM Receiver) the hardware module seems OK (I can tune stations, and RDS is working).

Is someone else having similar issues? (Given the outcome of MobileUncle tools, I assume is a software problem.)

Thanks.

Opinions on Dual-core Star B94M??

The Amazon.com USA seller replied back to me that they carry the dual core MTK6577 version of this phone. Does anyone know if the Dual-core version is any good? I am considering making this purchase there since the chinese/overseas sellers will surely take more than 1 week to have phone delivered(in some cases more than 3 weeks maybe). I would definitely rather the quad-core but might settle if I dont hear any complaints on that version.

Edit* I just ordered the dual-core.. but can still cancel order within a couple hours..so warn me of issues with the model in question...or forever hold your peace. :rolleyes:
[Android General] cmoegele:
If you really ar interested in Dualcore there are much better devices at this price point ( e.g ZTE V970 , or really good Iphone 5 copies ).

For the B943/B94M you should plan to pay ~ 170$ and on shops like (http://touch-us.com/b94m.html, or http://www.mixeshop.com/star-b943-b...wcdma-3g-dual-sim-card-smartpphone_p1877.html) shipment with dhl was done in 3-4 days ;).

The only problem I see with the phones is the missing Silicon Bumper or suitable cases,...

After 2 months... I finally received my B94M. Customs took a lot of time to release the package.

I've opened the box. Tested the phone... and nothing... it simply doesn't turns on :(((( Tested both batteries without any luck.

Measured the batteries tension: 3,6V on both so I presume they are completely discharged (should have 4,2V).

Left the phone charging for one hour... (nothing apears on the screen... should it?). Remeasured the battery and still the same 3,6V, so it is not charging.

I'm believe I have received a DOA... or both batteries are dead...

The seller was FastCardTech from China. I have contacted them for a solution...

you should hear at least a plug sound and see new hardware in devicemanager for short time. Try to charge your battery or use external power suplly with 3,8-4,2V and test if you can´t see any reaction.
[Android General] diogoquintao:
Already tried diferent chargers.... no reaction form the phone or PC...

When the phone is turned off charging should I see anything on the screen? Mine is all black. No reaction at all.

Already tried the "Connect USB; Take battery of" methood to see if the PC detects anything ... but still no reaction.

It's dead.

***EDIT***

The seller asked me to send it back for repairs... there goes more shipping costs, more costume's taxes...

Unaceptable....
[Android General] cyrusalmighty:
I found the dual-core version on Amazon and the actual seller is near me(Im in Connecticut and seller is in Mass, USA) so I took the chance since my friend is in a rush and needs phone now. For $150 (including S &H) it sounds like a good deal and if it doesnt work upon arrival I feel they are at least near by which is helpful.

I cant believe that phone is dead for you. I hope the company makes right for you. Please keep us posted on what happensand your experiences with that company. I almost used them myself if my friend wasnt in such a rush.

Anyone from U.S.A think this phone works on Tmobile 3G or only AT&T? I read Tmobile is using old 1700/and 2100 where this phone doesnt receive 1700 which might leave my friend stuck on Edge 2G connection.:(

This is the dark side of these Chinese businesses what I read from the usual comments, the basic rules:

1. Pay with PayPal

2. Choose a fast shipping method, don't spare a few bucks (quite cheap and quick: Singapore Post, free but very slow: e.g China Post)

3. If you experience unacceptable delay in the dispatch, contact them aggressively or cancel it on PayPal side. (Normally, the stores lie a lot to have something "on stock", but they don't have really.)

4. Pray to get a device with no problems.

5. The "stores" do not give a **** about warranty, it is a nightmare. Normally, you pay the shipping back and they return the same garbage to you without touching it.

6. Don't buy multiple devices at once. They can ship and fulfill the order in parts or cancel the whole order because something is missing.

7. Don't risk too much money. (I would never buy a device from them over $150-170. It is too risky.)

Don't hesitate to correct me. :)

Can anyone tell me which of these Roms in OP is for the Dual-Core Star B94M? I checked the status of the shipment through Amazon and USPS and phone is nearby(20 minutes away to be exact:laugh:).

Also: Are these ported Roms and if so, what phones can they be ported from? Are there any screenshots? This phone is MTK6577 ARMv7 Cortex-A9 so I know the phone to port from must be same unless they are built from other source?:confused:
