Thanks for update!

I've made PowerMenu for this 1.1 version. Menu languages are just English and Russian. If you wish to have your Language, translate words "Reboot" and "Recovery".

Somewhy I cant' upload it to forum, so here's the link Download
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
Nice !

In French, we also use English words for "Reboot" & "Recovery" so IMHO no translation needed for us. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Well, if I knew that I wouldn't bother doing it myself :D

Nevermind. Thanks, anyway.

Btw, New v1.2 will contain CyanogenMod CircleBattery + auto-hide of signal icon for empty sim slots.

yeah, and I forgot to mention that there's no need to bother with "Reboot" translations. You can reuse the existing "factorytest_reboot" resource

that already has translations for most languages
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
hope you'll have the time to upload it before I'll go working tonight ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Incremental update v1.2 available. This time rather small package (only 15MB).

Changelog 1.2 - 26/04/2013

- CyanogenMod Circle Battery

- Auto-hide of signal icons for empty SIM slots

- Power menu reboot and recovery

Link in the first post. No wipes needed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
Thanks for 1.2 update!

sorry for asking again,

but how can I run those updates if CWM can't access internal/external memory?!?

is the an adb command for installing the updates while in recovery mode?

like I said before, when used TWRP I could easily access the internal/external memory...

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
you made my day ! :D

this ROM is really awesome !!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] manu81:
Thanks for update ¡¡¡

You can add at the room the mod that enlarges the image of contact when calling? understand? I have the mod but no work in Android 4.2.1 (is only 4.1.2)

See in the web http://forum.china-iphone.ru/thl-w8-smart-phone-mtk6589-quad-core-android-4-1-1g-8g-5-0-i-t25747-460.html Post 479

Hi C3C076, can you fix the error where phone cannot detect phone number with country code either in Call log or SMS?

As you can see from image below, i receive SMS with no country code but MMS with country code. SO they separated both msg in 2 thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
even that now 850 band is checked,

people are saying that there is no signal...

Speaking about CM 10.1 : i copy from cm lockclock.apk to system/app and now i have beautiful widget withe wheater and calendar on lockscreen or widget screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Just to keep you guys updated.

After I implemented the basic infrastructure for adding new tiles, I managed

to implement Sync on/off and Wifi AP on/off tiles.

Additional tiles can now be implemented rather quickly.

Now I have to work on user interface for choosing which tiles to show or hide (including those standard ones). Without reordering for now.

Stay tuned :)

I got mine today and did all the steps to get it up to 2.6, its a 16gb model, but backed it up with your cwm first, and I cant seem to get any signal on my network or any sim i put in. I get an error when looking for a network manually. I reverted back to originally rom with cwm and it's the same. I've tried two sims. The bands are supported. Any idea what would cause this?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jsuarezcasana:
What about the 3.0 version?

Hi C3C076

Please don't forget about the people still running the "bad" 3.0 version,

could you please confirm that a downgrade is required ASAP? or that you eventually are going to allow the bad 3.0 to be merged to the ongoing development?

Thanks for this awesome ROM

[MENTION=3171098]jsuarezcasana[/MENTION]

Basically, it's up to the users.

Since now we have centralized app (GravityBox) which I work on to bring in new features, I won't be doing any changes directly to system files. So no further ROM updates can be expected in the near future. Only GravityBox updates, which is enough to bring in new features.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spicymchaggis:
I can find the network manually and two other (forbidden) ones when I go out side which Ive never had to before to get signal but wont connect to the network
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NZ-Simplicity:
Well I think since I have had no trouble at all with the "bad' 3.0 I will be sticking with it since there are to be no new ROM updates in the near future, will just grab the gravitybox updates when they are posted :)

(I do presume they will be posted here since you said that gravitybox thread is mainly for those that do not have gravitymod installed :) )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skit75:
realy ? no one a clou. or same issue?

Does annyone have anny idea, is stock rom good or bad?

Should i flash or return phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Senapone:
If you are able to hear good when receiving a call and not when calling i don't think it will be an hardware problem with bluetooth.

It seems to me as a software problem that cannot rightly modulate audio to bluetooth device.

You already tried with another bt device, would you mind try it with another sim?

Is yours a 256kb sim card?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skit75:
re

Tried 3 bluetooth devices all the same.

No idea how to check if sim is 256k

Wil try other sim soon

But i'm convinced its a software issue
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
I'm using W8, 8GB version with GM2.6

now it is the 3rd time today that my screen got black...

any solution to this problem?!?

my auto brightness is set to off and I have not changed the brightness settings at all...

suddenly it happens..

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Hmm... I have the same configuration and never had such issue... Hard to tell what's wrong.

all:

QuickSettings tile management implemented

Those, who already sent translations should revise them once again - since there are some new string to be translated.

Thanks in advance.

My phone cant get signal from any sim i put in it. Im based in ireland. Do i need to add my networks ID's or anything?

Any help would be appreciated
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Added some new info to the first post, which I find important.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Boozezela:
I'm in Dublin and my W8+ works out of the box with GM2 and the stock ROM.

Make sure you inserted the SIMs correctly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spicymchaggis:
well they are asking for and accepting pin. is there any specific slot I should use? I've tried both
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Boozezela:
No, slots are interchangeable. Once unlocked the phone should get a signal in less than 10 seconds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] peptonib:
Just got this PM.

Hi Peter,

Sorry about the delay. I did not see your message.

I am still doing some research on this packages. Also tried some others. I am flashing my standard all the time. Uneven results...

If you want to try Fly-on, you have to go for the stock one. Yes, wiping dalvik-cache and cache is a must. I do it always, it only forces Android to re-create this files. You can do it any time, only first boot will be little longer.

I would do a backup of your init.d scripts. As far as deleting them, I would read the Fly-on documentation about conflicts and use your own criteria. For example, I keep the file that Link2SD app creates there. It has nothing to do with Fly-on and must be kept there.

As I am learning now, ram management is not what one should think. Apparently, one want to use as much ram as possible, divided between running apps and cached apps, so the cached apps are ready to run again. BUT, it seems that Android itself likes to have some REAL free ram in reserve, so there is where those ram managers come into account. Hope this starts some investigation here, as the results could be added to GravityMod2, because any checked improvement should be considered.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
try to use your W8 without back cover, it's maybe a matter of antenna, and you have isolation material in back cover that could avoid good connection to network.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Boozezela:
Hi,

I am trying to understand something about the rebase for the W8+, so that I can stick to the stock ROM and only apply some basic tweaks.

GravityBox was introduced with the 2.0 to 2.5 update which contains:

XposedBridge (framework, binaries, init scripts and modules config)

GravityBox

Non stock settings.apk/.odex

The 2.6 update contains:

Updated apps

Updated GravityBox

Non stock android.policy.jar/.odex

Non stock framework.jar/.odex

A new libvideochat_jni.so library

What are the differences between settings.apk in 2.5 compared to the stock 1.0.5 ROM?

What are the differences between the included frameworks/libs in 2.6 compared to the stock 1.0.5 ROM?

What other system/files/libs were changed and why?

Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Settings - integrated GravityBox settings shortcut

Android.policy - removed previously integrated reboot and reboot to recovery

Framework - removed previously integrated disablement of sim inserted notifications.

Libvideochat belongs to updated talk (Google hangouts)

So basically, I have removed stuff which is now integrated directly in gravity box app. (to avoid redundancy)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spicymchaggis:
been trying without back cover the whole time unfortunately
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skit75:
taken a plunge ...

Taken a plunge and flashed gm2 on my 16gb w8..

Just minutes before the warning message about 16gb version was added to this thread:silly:

Unfortunatly no improvement on calling out over bluetooth still disformed audio for the receiver (my side is ok)

Switching off 3g still solves the problem .

Like the mods on this rom:good:

Unfortunatly antutu benchmark now stuck on 7000 :( with almost nothing installed)

Followed the tutorial to every point.

Anny way to recover stock rom?

Made a backup with clockwork mod and scatter file before custom rom flash.

Like the enhanced ram size to...

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Simply restore backup you made.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skit75:
Tried that but nothing changed,

Backup is rom about 6mb large, did i miss someting inthe clockwork mod?

It clearly states at install only to select the backed up file and no sytem files etc....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I am not sure what you mean.

If you did backup in cwm then to restore you simply choose in cwm to restore from sdcard or external SD card depending on where you made your backup...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mikekgr:
Dear Sirs,

I want to ask you something but first please accept my apologies if I am off topic.

Well I have now in my house two THL W8:

1) 8GB version Build number ThLW8.JB.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589V1.0.13_20130312 Android version 4.1.2

2) 16GB version Build number ThLW8.JB2.HD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589V1.0.1_20130506 Android version 4.2.1

Both have ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3 for THL W8/W8+ AND ROOT installed.

I took CWM backup on both.

Now the question, what it is necessary to do in order to flash the ROM of W8 16GB TO W8 8GB???

Please try to explain me the way to do and if this can cause problems.

Thanks a lot

Best Regards

Mike
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skit75:
cant get it to flash it :(

this is the rom it had from stock:

ThL_W8.JB2.HD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589V1.0.1_20130506 (W8 16GB international)

used installation instruction step 1 to 9 in cwm discription but after step

9) Unplug USB cable. Hold down Volume+ while turning your phone on to boot into recovery

what then? i get the recovery mode to do what ?

tried flashing the zip file downloaded from step 3 from sd but i get a error : installation abborted.

in log it says cant flash unsafe phone or something.

tried flashing my backed up rom via sp tool, and now i get the old recovery mode but still on GM2 rom in device details.

is the rom from official thl site a sollution ? W8 Line Brush UpdatePackage20130508 i get the idea that this one is not for my phone..

it says 8p32 in the file name.

QUOTE=C3C076;42579046]I am not sure what you mean.

@C3C076

Just figuring out that the install part your discribing in the cwm is to backup rom in recovery mode ....:(

And that after using the cwm i should have backed up data while in recovery mode....i think?

so probebly no backup for me ? since i figured that all i had to backup was with sp flash tool ...

already flashed gravety mod on it (didnt couse to much problems, since all is still working well and imei and everything is still in it)

annyway to restore the stock rom you think?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Boozezela:
Hi,

I have reverted back to W8+ stock ROM, and installed GravityBox with the modified settings.apk/.odex only.

Everything works nicely, including the Advanced power menu (apart for the fact the the W8+ already comes with a reboot option) but I have a couple of issues to address:

The phone does not ask for confirmation when you choose an option from the "Advanced power menu" (not W8+ specific)

When I launch GravityBox the status bar becomes grey (transparency problem)

The W8+ does not have a full "Developers menu": it would be nice to have an option in GravityBox to enable it, if possible

By the way, the extended APN xml file you used for the W8+ in the GM2 1.9 to 2.0 update is incorrect and incomplete: for instance settings for Vodafone Ireland are duplicate, Settings for eMobile Ireland are incorrect and Settings for Tesco Mobile Ireland are missing.

This could or could not create problems.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I don't recommend doing this. There are more hw differences except for different memory size.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
1) can be implemented

2) not sure. There isn't anything explicit in gravity box regarding status bar background that could be causing this. Maybe it's a feature of w8+ stock system theme GB is using

3) I'll take a look

Regarding APN list - I'm using the one from CM10.1 since I assumed it's the most complete one, but apparently it's not?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Zip from step 3) should be extracted and flashed in sp flash tool, together with recovery,boot,uboot you download from link mentioned in instructions.txt that's inside the zip...

In 9) you use cwm to flash incremental updates...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mikekgr:
Thank you for your reply but please give me your light, in case I will try to do this if something wrong happens, can be returned back to normal operation using/flashing back the original ROM backup that I have or it is so dangerous, that this flashing can brick my phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
You can't brick your phone if you follow the basic rule - don't flash preloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mikekgr:
how can except preloader from flashing, I mean how can flash my backup explicity without preloader? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Preloader can be flashed only in sp flash tool. You simply uncheck the check box to exclude it from flashing.

2) You are right. I have noticed this is system wide and happens with any light theme (need an option to override status bar transparency)

3) Thank you

About APN, it seems not at least for Irish-related settings. Try to check settings for operators in Slovakia and Austria, maybe you will spot some errors or duplicates as well.

It is also possible that the file is used only if no OTA settings are received as changing it did not impact my setup, but I am not sure about it.

By the way I was wrong using settings.apk/.odex from the GravityBox update: if I use your apk and odex files I lose settings entirely. If I use your apk and the .odex from the stock settings work partially and FC for instance on About phone.

Hi uniextra,

In windows 8 driver signing is protected so you probebly don't have the right drivers installed.

there are ways to turn them off

just google turn of driver signing windows 8.

and keep in mind that you need the right 32 or 64 bit driver those can be easely downloaded

good luck

I had similar problems with a W8 16 GB (flashing from a WinXP box) and tried a lot of times with various combinations of battery and/or external SD card removed/inserted. IIRC flashing with SP Tool have only worked for me with no SD card inserted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I played a bit with changing themes at runtime and I don't think that what you would like to achieve - inverse - white background with black text; is easily possible "on a global scale" without undesired side-effects.

This is because apps are typically coded with one particular theme bared in mind. This means mainly graphical stuff like icons are adapted to default Theme app comes with (Developer designs white icons because he is using black background in his app).

If you forcibly change the default theme to have white background and black text, other parts of app may look ugly (white icons on white background). You would have to redraw icons and provide the ones for inverse theme - and you should do that for every single app you want inverted. Moreover, often apps are not using system theme but supply own application specific theme. If you replace this theme you could even get worse side-effects (like e.g. invisible text since it's the same color as the background).

Here's the simple example of code I tried to get inverse apps.

public class ModActivityTheme {

public static void initZygote() {
try {
final Class<?> activityClass = XposedHelpers.findClass("android.app.Activity", null);
final int lightThemeId = XResources.getSystem().getIdentifier("Theme.Holo.Light", "style", "android");
XposedBridge.log("ModActivityTheme: Theme.Light ID = " + lightThemeId);

XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod(activityClass, "onCreate", Bundle.class, new XC_MethodHook() {
[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]
protected void beforeHookedMethod(final MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
Activity a = (Activity) param.thisObject;
XposedBridge.log("ModActivityTheme: onCreate activity " + a.getPackageName());
a.setTheme(lightThemeId);
}
});
} catch (Exception e) {
XposedBridge.log(e);
}
}

}

This is the reult for Settings
