GravityBox app has nothing to do with the Bluetooth functionality.

It must be something else, maybe ROM related. I recommend flashing a stock ROM to check how it goes there and then use standalone gravitybox on it if you find out BT works.

GravityMod2 ROM is not being maintained anymore since all of the modding is done via GravityBox. The only advantage of gm2 is more languages and init.d support. (+ 60fps on w8 4gb/8gb and w8+)

re: same problem with Bluetooth

I got the same problem ever since I bought the phone stock Rom is no solution tried gm 2+3 stock Rom from 2 date`s all the same.

Only thing you can do is switch off 3G on the SIM you are calling with, located at gm status bar tile or from settings/more/mobile networks/3g settings.

Incoming calls on the same SIM are ok with 3g on and if you try to call away with 3g on over Bluetooth the Mic is also disformed.

Seems to be a bug in the 16gb version no solution found yet after searching for 2months.

Bluetooth problem not in France

Strange thing tough, right now I'm on holiday in France and on this network the problem does not show. I'm on bytel network think it is because of different network frequency. Anyway it is not Rom or gm related.

I think I will start a new tread at the end of next week when I get back about this.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ankadnikov:
There is no need to change FF B7 C5 FF in EBR2, as you can see those bytes are the same in 4GB version.

You can take my EBRs, (usrdata is 3GB and internal sdcard is 3.5 GB). I use it for three weeks already and have no problems with it. Don't forget to format data and internal memory after flashing. (and don't change scatter).

A little remark. This change only applies to the system, PMT and preloader tables stay the same (like scatter), so if you wish to make backup of usrdata via MtkDroidTools in future you'll get only first 1GB backed up, like it's described in dumchar.info.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] sipart:
Hi C3C076, I have been running your ROM on my W8 Beyond and I have on the way a W8S (selling the Beyond to a friend) - as you are not going to update the ROM can you let me know how I can get UK English language on the W8S (once I have rooted and added Gravitybox of course)? And what does the lack of init.d support lose me when on the stock ROM?

Also just a note for anyone else and appreciate your feedback on this. I have bought and installed LagFix Premium from the Play Store and have found the phone to be much more responsive now (before using this I thought I was having memory issues but seems it was due to the lack of TRIM support)? Wondered if this could be built into gravitybox?

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Adding languages is not that trivial if you don't have previous experience with, decompiling, recompiling apks.

Translation process requires all relevant apks to be decompiled and strings from another ROM that has the language have to be transferred.

If you don't know what init.d is for, you don't need to worry about it since you probably don't need it (briefly, it allows you to run scripts at boot).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sipart:
:( sad your not developing the rom anymore then. What's the chances of the beyond ROM working on the w8s? Assume the only issue would be the 32gb of storage?

And what's your opinion on trim (not that I need it as I have the app now, but just wondering)?

Cheers

How did the 32gb get partitioned? And what are you using to test fps?

I went ahead and flashed cwm, rooted, installed xposed framework & gravitybox, then used more locale 2 to get UK English on my w8s. Then as a final touch I used the lagfix app (adds trim support) from the play store. Everything is nice and smooth but might consider the beyond ROM if it adds some performance benefit's. Cheers

[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
You have to get a stock ROM from somewhere (you could ask thl official support for a link) and flash it via sp flash tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Then simply take recovery.IMG, boot.IMG, uboot.IMG from that backup and flash them all via sp flash tool. After that you will be able to start cwm and restore complete backup.

I have a w8s, bought it as I had a w8 Beyond and felt the 1gb ram was holding it back. I'm happy with the w8s, can you be more specific and I can compare. I am using stock ROM with cwm and gravity/xposed installed. One thing I did do which I think has made a difference is installing lagfix premium from the play store, though this maybe placebo effect as lack of trim support (from what I have read) should only effect performance over a period of time.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcadesdude:
Holy crap so many status bar options now! Awesome work [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]! I got this just how I want it now.

Not that this helps any but I just wanted to report that the latest version of gravitybox 2.2.2 still has the blank screen issue on gm2 3.2 on the original thl w8 4g model. I tried with and without the camera fix (alternate kernels) and got the same behavior.

It should be noted this is with the brightness settings disabled. And after rebooting. Also same issue when they are enabled.

The issue happens when changing the brightness but not every time. I don't know exactly how it happens just that it does.

It should be noted that gm2 versions prior to 2.0 didn't have this issue on my phone.

See my earlier post above. I didn't realise 4.2 had a ram bug?. I ended up buying a w8s (2gb ram)! I was using a w8 beyond with cwm recovery and the beyond version of this rom. I'm not saying the issue was this ROM though as the guy who bought the beyond has had no issues, so perhaps I'm more of a power user and the combination of the beyond spec and my usage was just tipping it over the edge sometimes? On my w8s I'm just using the stock ROM - with w8s version of recovery, rooted and manual install of xposed and gravity box. Only thing I really missed was the English UK language - but used morelocale 2 to tweak it.

I did use the lagfix premium from the play store to add the lack of trim support and did/does seem to make a difference?

Two questions/requests

I have two questions/requests for this great ROM:

1. Unfortunately it seems that the built in GPS does not work correctly on my ThL W8 16gb. I have a Nokia BT GPS module and found a way to use it with an app from the store by enabling mock locations. However when I do that Ingress won't work anymore. Would it be possible to implement external BT GPS support without the need to use mock locations?

2. I saw an interesting concept to unlock Android phones: http://pocketnow.com/2013/09/03/swipe-to-wake. Would it be possible to implement such a feature in your ROM?

Best regards,

Peter
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
1) external GPS modules should work straight out of box. Are you sure your settings are correct?

I cannot check myself (no hardware)

2) this is not possible. HW support + necessary kernel support is required for such feature.

When device sleeps, touchscreen is normally off.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kenturky:
You made a mistake by buying the 2gb ram version... Well do one thing... When a stable ROM comes out for the thl w8s, then, stick to that phone..... for now, go on with your w8 beyond....

JB has project butter, but the RAM bug takes the beauty away from project butter and makes it look like ****....

I made a decision rather than a mistake. The w8s only cost me £20 more than I paid for the beyond (antelife discount codes are generous when that are available) and as well as the extra 1gb ram I got an extra 16gb of storage and a gorilla glass screen that is fully laminated - well worth the extra :) I sold the beyond to a friend for very near the original beyonds cost and no ebay/PayPal fees. So win/win.

Are you confusing a ram bug with the lack of trim support?
