Problem with the link

Greetings.

Is there another link for the gravity mod2 file? I have tried 3 PCs, 1 mac and my mobile phone to download the file and after a while the download stops. Can anyone upload the files in a different site?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pesa1234:
It's better now. But is it possible that the battery life is less with this ROM compared to the original ROM on my w8 beyond?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spy007z:
I downloaded the source from OPs first post and was trying to compile it but it complain about it cannot find the file:

MT6589_kernel_source-master/kernel/mediatek/Makefile

That Makefile is a link file that link to ../../mediatek/build/kernel/Makefile that does not exists...

any idea??:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Grantius:
It's possible that because the GPU is working harder due to the increased frame rate you'll get less battery life.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chenrp:
FW 1.0.6 for W8S is here!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/319rkjf3da1bfrl/cwm_w8s_1.0.6.zip

anyone knows how to update without losing data?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pesa1234:
Sorry, but on w8 beyond the core is not the same like original rom? there is a kind of setting in any case to reduce FPS and increase battery life?

Thanks at all...

Any news regarding rom of w8 beyond?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Grantius:
Which firmware build number is this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chenrp:
i am not sure it is for W8S!

Where did it come from?

Hi [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]

Have you seen latest ZTE V967S carliv's ROM ? It seems to be based on AOSP 4.3...

Would it be possible for you to upgrade GravityMod to GM3 ? :D

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
4.3? That sounds interesting.

The problem is I'm saying bye to my W8 as I just received N5.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] _ossie_:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Doesn't look like 4.3. Notice the SDK number. It's api 17, while android 4.3 is api 18.

Hi [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]

I have a suggestion for feature request. Is possible create a tile for turn on/off 3G data plan with config SIM ? Today I use the "mobile data" tile for it, but I spend some time and attention to do that with this tile (Turn on : tap tile -> choose SIM1 Data Plan, turn off : tap tile -> choose off option). With this new tile I think this only tap once to turn on and another tap to turn off 3G data plan.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Grantius:
Or perhaps a data sim swap button? So I can swap which sim uses data
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Please, direct these requests to the GravityBox thread.

I don't have MTK dual SIM anymore so it's unlikely I can make features that require dual SIM phone for testing.
[MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] is now officially a maintainer of GravityBox JellyBean branch (supporting MTKs). So maybe he might be able to deal also with these requests over time (if he is interested of course). Nobody can promise anything, though.

Hi,

please, where's the shutdown file animation hidden ?

I've managed to change the boot animation with this one, but I can't find the shutdown animation...

I'd like to add some personalizations to my ThL W8 that's getting older day after day... :cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Try putting shutanimation.zip inside /system/media

Luckily, it will override default "Android" animation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
:(

it does not work.

don't you know where's the default animation ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I don't think the default one is file based
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
you mean it could be hardcoded ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Yes. But not 100% sure.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
thank you anyway.

I'm stuck with this odd animation... :D

one last question, maybe too much personal, feel free not to answer : have you sold your ThL W8 on second-hand market ? how much have you sold it ? I'm planning to replace mine too, but can't get a decent price...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Nope. I gave it to my wife :)

and the really good news is that it does not affect hardware performances, see screen caps before and after enabling GB option, Antutu scores are quite the same :

Communication sound quality

[MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]

It's been a few months since I'm using ThL W8 with GravityMod2 ROM. I've tried other ROMs (MIUI, customs, etc) and there's something really annoying to me that will make me change my phone if I can't solve it, a common problem to every ROM I've tested.

When I begin a conversation through 3G or HSDPA network, the sound is quite clear and my voice can be heard perfectly by the person I'm calling. But when I'm calling someone through 2G or Edge network, the sound quality becomes really poor, and the person I'm calling can't hear me clearly, it's like I was talking through a pillow...

Is this issue leaked to the ROM's baseband ? Can it be improved ? Is there a workaround to that ? I've tested some tweaks through Engineering mode, but I'm only able to increase/decrease the volume, not the quality (I mean high pitched sound aren't reproduced for instance).

I encounter the same issue with my wife's ThL W100... maybe Chinese phones aren't able to use my operator Edge bandwidth ?:eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
May be also operator specific. I always use 2g for phone calls as it's more battery efficient (3g signal is not that good in my area) and nobody complained about not hearing me well. Applies to my previous thl as well as current n5.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skit75:
Seems to me like a problem in the speech enhancement in engineer mode.

I had similar problems calling over a Bluetooth carkit and changed parameter 12 to 20488 in the Bluetooth earphone settings after that outgoing sound was clear as crystal.

Check my thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2414364

It may not be the exact solution for you but it may point you in the right direction.

What I did was compare the parameters to a phone that does not have the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
thank you for your answer.

I've been looking for what you've pointed, but parameter 12 is set to 20488 in every items... so this seems that the problem is elsewhere.

thank you too. It's a clever idea, I'm testing it right now. 3G signal is not fluctuent here too. sometimes I can catch it well, sometimes not. Restarting the phone may solve the problem, but sometimes not. So if I force 2G, there won't be any switch between 2G and 3G which seems more and more to be the problem's source.

I give it a try !

Hi, any idea how I can increase the charging speed? Its kinda stuck at 500mah. I tried charging from a 700mah charger and a 1000mah one, and the charging speed seems to be the same. Is it a hardware mod? Like a charging resistor or is it software based?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] chenrp:
you need to find the chip that is in-charge of charging the battery.

then you should see in the datasheet, where is the resistor that limits the current. if you solder above this resistor(or replace it with a smaller one), the charging rate will increase..
