headset problem

hi i ordered a headset(in the ear headphone with mic), but it is not working properly in my w8 beyond.... when i plug it in halfway, i can hear sound just from the right, and if i plug it in fully, the sound gets really wierd! i just cant explain it......
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Most likely switched contacts. You'll probably need an adapter to get it work.

I personally prefer GravityMod with GravityBox ROM, the work paolothlw8 made is great ! unfortunately he will abandon the dev of this ROM because he's going on ThL W300 new phone... :cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
just stay on paolothlw8 4.2.2 Samsung style's ROM ! :D

it's quite stable.

and take a look at needrom website, newer ROM are daily posted on it.

here's your phone needrom's page :

Can I change DPI settings with this rom? or any other way to change system dpi?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Via build.prop at your own risk.

ro.sf.lcd_density=

I did some experiments in the past. When DPI is set to 160 for HD screen, you'll get UI with system bar at the bottom instead of status bar. But it's not correctly implemented by mtk, e.g. mobile signal indicators won't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ady702:
Thanks mate, I was going to try around 250-300. I should have the phone tomorrow so will see how i get on :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bileterri:
thl w8s

I installed this rom on my thl W8+ and I have to get you complimeti because it is wonderful. I bought the thl W8S for my wife but I see that the rom is not compatible with this terminal. You could also develop your rom for W8S?

Thank you in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] miugiee:
not enough for me,because data games HD (Android/obb) need more storage in sdcard (microsd card)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Lock screen targets...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manu81:
I want it .. as you did?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NZ-Simplicity:
Please excuse the noob type question, but when you mention copy the files to the SD card, are you referring to the internal SD card or the SD card you put into the phone :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
In case of twrp or cwm 6.0.3.2, it makes no difference since you can install zips from both - internal or external SD. Previous versions of cwm could install from external only.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NZ-Simplicity:
Many thanks :) - I did my phone now and it seems to be working great :)

Thank you very much for all the hard work you have put in this for yourself and others, it is greatly appreciated :)

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

ooooooooo nice fancy lock screen you have there :) - where did you get it from or did you make it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
As for weather and other info, I'm using - Android 4.2 allows you to place your own widgets at lockscreen. This is one of them - DashClock widget (you can get it from play store)

Lock screen targets (shortcut to camera and google search) were disabled in stock rom som I found a way how to enable them.

This will be released as part of v1.4, together with volume key cursor control in text fields
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dyter:
I mod the mtk-kpd.kl for use the home button to wake up the phone, if you want integrate this in you futur update :)

For manual installation the file need to be placed in /system/usr/keylayout/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Too late. Update is already up but I haven't enough time to announce it yet.

BTW, wake using other button than power will not work 100% since when device is deep sleeping (all CPUs offline), only power button wakes it. it's done this way at hw level.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
OK. So here it is.

Changelog 1.4 - 02/05/2013

- Volume key cursor control in text fields

- Added missing lockscreen targets (camera, google search)

- Recents apps: added button to clear all open tasks at once

- Automatic backlight values adjusted (less brightness in dark)

- Wifi scan interval changed from 15secs to 60secs

- Quick-unlock by touching menu key while on lockscreen

- Don't turn on display when charger/USB unplugged

There is another 4.2.1 upgrade for ThL W8 (20130428) : http://en.thl.com.cn/Download/detail_104.html

Don't know what's the changelog yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I know but it's confusing because there's a note it's for A1. If you select W8 from drop down list, this one won't be displayed which makes me think it's really for A1...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
I also saw that. I think it's a mistake.

I'm downloading it and if I'll let you know if the file name and changelog inside (if there is one) include reference to W8 or A1 model.

[MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION],

How did you get xposed installer to run gravitybox in your custom rom?

I am working on a custom rom for the 16GB hd version of the thl w8.

already got several things implemented at fresh rom install like:

xperia keyboard with swipe.

lenovo super camera.

i file explorer.

weather pro.

sony walkman.

i can get xposed added to the rom flash and latest gravity box, but i am trying to get it running right after flashing without opening xposed and setting it manually.

Anny help would be appreciated allot.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
The GooManager just showed that there is an update for my rom.

where should I found this update?

(using GravityMod 3.2 on ThL W8-8GB)

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
False alarm. There seems to be a bug in GooMamager causing reporting of new ROM versions every time Goo services are down.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ady702:
Loving the rom so far on my W8 beyond. Everything seems to be working great.

Also changed DPI down to 380, looks great :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:

Any chance to support bluetooth joystick?

I got a ipega gamepad, but couldn't pair to my W8!

It did work on my Asus TF201 though...

Anyone can help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
There are some known issues with BT and some devices. Search the thread.

The one and only solution is to go back to stock ROM, as the kernel in GM2 that runs at 60FPS and is taken from a different

device seems to have some BT compatibility issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Boozezela:
Did you try to use the stock icons I provided the last time?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
No. Since they are usable for mtk only. The new option is to avoid blurry icons on non-mtk xxhdpi devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Boozezela:
Do you mean that GBox will colorize the stock icon from any ROM without forcing a specific asset on the statusbar?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Yes. But without proper signal level indication support. Ratger useless on stock mtk, but some people might be running ROM with different icons that can properly support color filters.

Check the FIRST post of this thread. Everything is explained there. And don't forget to hit thanks button to C3C076 who provided all of this.

Anyone Please

Stock firmware is needed: ThL_W8.JB2.HD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589V1.0.1_20130506 to flash using the tool not CWM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
The first one I posted in pm is also for recovery? (I can't remember). Have you tried extracting the zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bassalh123:
Yes, I had extracted the zip (In fact I did download both files and both extracted) and both are the ones you flash fom recovery not by SP_Flash_Tool as it has System folder not the .img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I see. Have you tried searching on needrom.com?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bassalh123:
Yes I have done I only found like the file you sent me not stock with image files. Searched all the web couldn't find either 20130506 or 20130616 to be flashed using the tool, this included the Chinese THL website with Stock firmwares http://www.thl.com.cn/Download/list-0-4.html. Really don't know what to do now with this braked phone (I know it's all my fault with my stupidity) Using now my old Huawei G300, Not too bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any idea anyone else? This would be a real challenge....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Found something. http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?uk=4213659546&shareid=1080372519

I can confirm it's ThL_W8.JB2.HD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589V1.02_20130616 and contains both, flashtool (including preloader) and recovery version.

Download, extract (7zip recommended) and perform "Firmware Upgrade" via flashtool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bassalh123:
I will definitely give it a try and report back the result (downloading slowly here) but the file is more than 500MB which means it has both firmwares as you mentioned.

Thanks ans thanks again, this is realy doing my head at this stage.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

It will be usefull for me if I can flash using the Tool NOT CWM as my phone is completely dead. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
If I remember correctly. This very first version of my gm2 ROM was flash able via flash tool :) However, there is only system, boot, recovery in the package (no preloader)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bassalh123:
Up & Running again

Yes my phone is up and running GravityMod2 V3.0 now. Took about 2 hours to download this file using download accelerator cause otherwise will take longer, but it's worth it. Flashed my phone (THL W8 16GB Standard -Not S or + or beyond) using the SP Tool to bring my phone back to life from DEATH (As it was fully formatted before by mistake)

- Flashed CWM

- Backed up the existing stock firmware (I should do this before LOL)

- Installed GravityMod2 V3.0 from the CWM recovery

- Restored my 2 IMEI as I lost them because of full format... using this Youtube Tuto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B40C2hoxn8U

Now I am very happy my THL W8 is up and runing again.

Thank you again Mr "C3C076" a modest donation is on it's way to you if you didn't receive it already.

Keep up a good work, I will check this XDA thread for updates and more tweaks. Best of luck
