Gionee Dream D1 testing result with MIUI Rom from A820

Hi Ricky,

I have done a comprehensive testing of that ROM(820) yesterday. I installed an app to have the onscreen virtual buttons and thus it made possible to go around.

lets point to the facts:

1. The ROM is definitely a genuine one, only the boot has been replaced by some chinese stuff, otherwise the launcher, xioami account opening screen, and the pull down setting menu have not crashed a single time and is in compliance with MIUI. I was able to login to my xioami account ( I have seen a xiami phone recently brought by my colleague from Hong Kong). Even in the ROM (not the A820 one) has some bitmap/png problem in the settings menu especially the data connect button, but this one (A820) is totally perfect.

2. The camera app and the filemanager app are not the default MIUI one. The filemanager app is a chinese one but functional, its themed weird. I think the original MIUI filemanager is replaced to avail the /systemof the phone storage, which was not possible by the default MIUI app,..the camera is the one we generally find in the other chinese branded phones such as zopo, UMI or our own micromax. But definitely MIUI app has been deliberately replaced to have the pront camera working. The camera is working and videos are fine. I need 3 more posts to be able to post in this Development forum, once I get the access I will post the screenshots. But I dont think that would be necessary.

3. Torch, Music player, Video and Compass are functional and working. There are few unknown chinese apps though which I didnt open. But they can be easily uninstalled.

4. After a reboot or start, the launcher crashed in the lock screen but nothing happened. Sometimes the default popup to select yes/no is not like the MIUI one, but it works. This different popup might raise a suspicion whether this is a default MIUI Rom though.

5. The onscreen virtual button which I have installed was not fitting properly in the screen and it was an eyesore. Otherwise I can say this ROM might work good for Gionee Dream D1 ( The dual sim management menu worked, and worked flawlessly, 3G speed and ease was good. even selecting effects for the launcher, it did not slow down or bogged down.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] somberi:
Thanks for the details on the ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Can anyone can help me to port the onscreen virtual buttons on this A820 MIUI rom? or atleast give any insight how it can be ported from the MIUI ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] somberi:
Did you try adding the below line to build.prop under /system?

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

or

if the above line is already present in build.prop, but with a value 1, change it to 0.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
let me check, else I will add and load again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Update: the onscreen virtual buttons came up, thanks [MENTION=2674277]somberi[/MENTION].

-- The magnetic compass is not working (last time I told it is working in A820 MIUI ROM, my bad)

-- the effects are working fine, but the dialer is a bit pixel-ated. However the cube effect works most fluid

--- FM and Torch are working.

--- Here are the Screenshots:attached

(SIM Management working and the Pull down menu is having no png/bitmap issues)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
I have periodically changing the 2 ROMS and finding out the PROS and CONS of both, so that it will help to chose the best one out of the 2. Luckily I have another spare phone to accept the calls.:cool::cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
do we expect some action this weekend [MENTION=2674277]somberi[/MENTION] [MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] ??

I am eagerly waiting,.. meanwhile I am trying to learn more about ROM porting and ABCD of Android ROMs. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Hi, can anyone guide me, how to make changes in the settings menu?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
[MENTION=5277821]debasish497[/MENTION] Were you able to flash the A820 ROM that I've provided? Surprisingly, for me, it is not flashing. And I can't recollect if there was a flashing problem. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Yes, the zip was not done properly,... Unzip and only create the zip out of META_INF, boot.IMG, data and system folder. It will work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Yes. I eventually realized that.

Regarding working on the A820 ROM. I tried but didn't get much time to spend. And honestly, given the fact that I am in no need of dual sim functionality currently, I am not very enthusiastic in putting all my time. It already is 04:00hrs and I've spent all my weekend for no good. :eek: Sorry.

I will further work on the current ROM that works. It may not have dual sim support. But the rest of the features are solid in it.

Meanwhile if you could work on bringing the A820 ROM up to the mark, maybe then I will also have a look at it. I hope others also pick up and take things further from here. The more people WORK on it, the better will be the output.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] I agree, the dual sim works, only the sim manager menu shows an error. Otherwise both the sims can be used for picking up calls and data. I just replaced the modem.img. If somehow I find out the way to make the sim management work, this ROM is almost complete. Another thing that annoys me regarding this ROM, the data connection switch in the toggle is not showing up properly, which needs to be fixed.

Since we already have a 98% working ROM, I was trying with LewaOs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Where did you get the modem.img and how did you replace it?

Regarding Sim switching, there's an apk named SimCardSwitcher.apk. I am trying to find other versions of that apk but haven't found any yet.

And any luck with LewaOS ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
I got the modem.img from /system/etc/firmware from the stock ROM backup by [MENTION=2674277]somberi[/MENTION] (I was lucky enough to download that backup before the link was withdrawn). I just copy pasted. That made my 3g problem gone. I am trying with LewaOs porting , facing bootloops. Flashed back MIUI recovery, and finding ways to fix the toggle switch for the data connection, but since I am new to this, no breakthrough till now.

Do you know how to edit settings menu items? That will help us a bit
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] Hope you are getting the issue seeing the pics.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION], [MENTION=2674277]somberi[/MENTION] any updates?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I see the issue but I've had no time to look into it. I'd suggest we all put our efforts together onto one single ROM rather than spreading it into multiple half baked ones.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Did you have any luck with the sim card switcher?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Update:

[MENTION=5335657]stas2z[/MENTION] There is some issue with video playback. The gameplay is also not smooth especially where higher framerate required.

It force closes everytime you long press any contacts.

Camera quality has degraded,. The stock was better. Anyone tried with HD recording? 720p playback choppy.

Hope we get the fixes soon...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stas2z:
Looks like porting issue cuz on original device everything works fine (no lags, camera works like stock)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] any help..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I haven't encountered any of these problems. And even if these problems are there, they are corner cases.

I am happy with the current state of the ROM and don't have the time to look into the corner cases.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Is the new update giving problems? It's huge almost 400MB. 3.11.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Nope. Working a breeze for me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Really... Did you download the 400MB and then installed from the update? Or installed a patch. If you have the patch link please share. I am not going to move to the stock anytime soon.. Enjoying MIUI.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Only the patch that stas2z releases every week. Why do you need the full ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
That I understand,.. but I have downloaded the 45mb patch too,..wich is giving me signature error :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Download again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] somberi:

I just updated my galaxy s to cm 11 I.e. Android 4.4

The performance improvements seem to be impressive. It should be fun to port dream d1 to Android 4.4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
How are you planning to that, dont know any MTK phone which has been updated to KITKAT
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Hi Ricky,

I am not able to play 1080p in MIUI ROM by stas2z. Can you please tell me waht fixes you applied?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I do not have the phone with me any more. Any updates from me, for this device, will probably stall now.

PS: Only with the exception that I buy the same device again. :D:D:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
ha ha,. enjoyed.

Me too planning to part away from this device,.

so what are you now having?... planning to get a Xiaomi Mi3 from China(Hong Kong) or Gionee E7.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I really don't know. RIght now I'm using my good old Samsung Galaxy S. Its performance is terrible, but I can live for some weeks.

I'd love to get a Xiaomi phone but I don't think they are marketing in India. Please correct me if otherwise.

On Gionee, yes, their device is amazing. I wouldn't mind buying a Gionee again. But not E7. It is expensive.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Right friend,..

E7 is costly,... but the Gionee has given me a trust on mainstream chinese brands like oppo, Xiaomi etc
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Hi Folks,

After having murdered this device for 2+ years, I'm happy to reincarnate it. It does bring me great smile when I'm using this phone today. Even today, I find the ROMs overall performance far better than what newer ROMs have today, including stock MIUI from Xiaomi running on my Mi3, or stock CyanogenMod on it.

My near term forecast looks like I'll continue to use the ROM that I left off when I broke the phone. But I'm checking here if anyone else took over the development of this ROM further? Or did anyone else port any newer/different ROM for this device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Yes, that's true, but the MIUI ROM that you've started with might be one of the older ones. Can you share me which MIUI ROM you've started with, and share me the process you cooked it .

[/COLOR]no breakthrough with sim switcher but a number of other Miui ROMs have it,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
The rom I'm using is the one currently linked on the main page. It has minor glitches but for the most it works perfect.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll release the first revision of it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Waiting for it:confused::thumbup:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
The other A820 ROM has some tight dependency on lenovo framework iirc. You might want to look into it in case you plan on porting it further
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Yes I stopped playing with that after I realized that. Well it was a good learning experience, how to choose ROMs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DreamD1:
Its not rooted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Are you sure?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Its rooted, root should be given from permission settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DreamD1:
Tried it already, but still no root.

Any one else facing this issue.

In the previous version root was working properly for me.

Even tried factory reset and lost my imei. But regained using Mobileuncletools.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Which ROM are you playing with? A820 one?

If this the ROM [MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] last uploaded, I haven't loaded. Will try and inform.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DreamD1:
Tried the MIUI version 1 in the second post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION], [MENTION=5248202]DreamD1[/MENTION] the root indeed not working. Reverting back to stock ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
That is weird because I'm using the same ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
yes I am also perplexed. I will try flashing once more time after going back home. Is there any step which we both missed while flashing the ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DreamD1:
@ Ricky I think u have not formatted the cache & dalvik.

I have done both. That may be the issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I don't think so. The cache is to create the odex files. Why would it interfere with superuser
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
And for the record i did clean up both the items
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Root is working fine now,..

just reinstalled

cool keyboard from Google.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I'm glad to read that it worked. It is nice to know that my work is useful to others also.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
No doubt about that, [MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION], we appreciate that.

I am just a noob, and only can help by testing the ROMs with my current stage of knowledge. I tried to fix the rendering problem and sim selection menu by decompiling the MIUIframework_res.apk and doing different things in the string.XML as pointed in different posts, but ending up in a ROM which was stopping at the boot itself. Actually at the decompiling state itself I started getting errors.

It would be great help, if you share the direction or method to approach.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DreamD1:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] Your work will always help our group.

You r the only actively working MOD for our handset.:cowboy:

Will try it once again in this weekend.:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ganesh Kumar:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] ..Even I'm facing root access problem, i tried several time but no luck...:(:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Check what Debasish did.

It works. Recheck the permission manager to ensure you have granted root privileges
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DreamD1:
Try installing miui ver 0 & above that install ver 1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Does that help????

I ask because technically, every time you flash a ROM, your /system is formatted. If it was a corrupted apk or a permission problem, irrespective of an upgrade or clean install, you will see the problem persistently.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
I did a fresh install, only flashed v1. I really doubt how flashing v0 followed by v1 would help. However if that method works, there is nothing to complain.

However you can try replacing the su related bins in the xbin directory

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ganesh Kumar:
No I tried no luck...but how to replace su related bins...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Check [MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION]'s post in pg 7
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
That still is the same binary

And distributed zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ganesh Kumar:
Still no clarity....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I can't find a better way to make it clearer. From what you've reported so far, and based on what I've checked and concluded, and the fact that Debashish has it working, I conclude that it is not a problem with the ROM.

It could be a problem with the way you are perceiving the ROM, or else it could also be that the download you have, is corrupted. Maybe you should re-download and check. Meanwhile I'll update the Download page with the MD5 and SHA512 checksums to help people ensure they have the right download.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mihirf2003:
The ROM is working gr8. Other than the bugs mentioned, 1 problem faced by me is that the camera is app does not show pics brightly, they are kind of dark. Does someone else have the same prob?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
yes [MENTION=1162266]mihirf2003[/MENTION] the camera app is a bit dark, and since it is also a bit slow while focussing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Yes. I noticed that too. Can someone on the stock ROM confirm what the behavior there is like
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mihirf2003:
The camera in stock ROM was good. No such problems...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Thanks. May look into it this weekend.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I remember you mentioning Lewa. I see some Lewa progress for MMX A116. Did you try that?

No, I was so fascinated with MIUI , that i concentrated on it. I have seen a friend having lewa in his Gionee gpad g1. Took the ROM from him, but strangely just after boot the screen was just behaving like old CRT monitor with damaged tube.
