Heads Up on build quality!

Just a side note on an otherwise awesome phone, but i was looking on the official website for accessories and came across this notice in red under the digitizer replacement units:

Note:THL W200's screen is OGS screen.so the touch screen and the Lcd screen are together and can't separate them.so if your touch screen or LCD screen broken you have to change the two of them.

so, if I'm correct, this basically means if you crack the screen, even by a little, the phone will NOT respond to any finger commands whatsoever, so you will essentially have a phone that you can't access. Just a helpful heads up for people considering this phone.

Like I said before, it is an amazing phone and well worth your consideration especially if you are careful with things! ;)

[Android General] layup23:
Is that how the icons look because of the rom or did you install a launcher? I see almost all of the icons are changed, especially the battery and signal. Looks great

Did you do any modification or is it stock?

W200 arrived in yellow color. Hope they revised the softkey backlight issue too, not just the case color.

[Android General] last0ne:
buy only battery cover??
[Android General] zdravke:
It's just a battery cover, I don't think they would ever fix the backlight issue since it would require quite a bit of redesign. This also something that does not go unnoticed during testing, so they probably decided to ignore it from the start.
[Android General] quasimidi:
Also full housing not just the back cover. And yes, I know they won't fix this backlight issue, unfortunately.

Gents/Ladies, does anyone knows where can I find the kernel and android source for MTK65xx based phones? I know the driver sources are proprietary stuff, but the kernel module mods and changes can be useful.
[Android General] layup23:
Mediatek does not release any of the kernels or source codes. That's why we dont have Cyanogenmod on mediatek. There's a topic in the general android section with this title

Hi Tim! Just saw your post today!

From what I've read about this adapter and from what I understand this is used if your headphones don't work when you plug them.

In my case, if I plug them in, they work fine. But the issue I was having is with the built-in button on the headset which, on CTIA, is used to do various functions, such as play/pause/next. I understand that with OMTP the button does not do that. So I guess that if I purchase this adapter it still wont let me use button...

What's your opinion ?
[Android General] quasimidi:
I've found a kernel with mtk sources, for the first peek, it seems quiet complete. This contains (example) all source for the sensors, camera, egl, wifi, etc.
[Android General] Dean123:
Does anyone know how to change the Haptic feedback when meeting profile is active?
[Android General] last0ne:
it needs de-compile Jar file.
[Android General] Dean123:
Is it a jar file I can replace with the one from the stock rom?
[Android General] quasimidi:
Well, you can replace it, but then you might lose some features from Ludoos (I'm not sure about this).

Instead of replacing the jar, I would install the XPosed framework and GravityBox (specially made for MTK devices). It gives you endless options to customize your rom.

Please make a CWM backup before you install these - just in case.

Hope this helps.
[Android General] Dean123:
I already have xposed but haven't seen an app to alter the hepatic feedback
[Android General] quasimidi:
Dean, have you installed GravityBox as well? That should have an option to handle haptic feedbacks in profiles.
[Android General] Dean123:
Of course, I see nothing to do with profiles in any of the menu options.
[Android General] turrista:
And how to install this firmware?

tnx
[Android General] last0ne:
for pre-defined audio profile, it's hard code in jar file.

[Android General] quasimidi:

Don't forget to update the modules sometimes!

[MENTION=5161631]Gtecnostyle[/MENTION]:

What's your point?
[Android General] Dean123:
Fair enough, what's the name of the jar file I need to replace?
[Android General] quasimidi:
services.jar, but maybe you can give a try to use a 3rd party app. For example this.

Hope this helps.
[Android General] peter_90:
it's a 1.5 ghz quad-core...
[Android General] RobboW:
Well, most of them are, but a seller has been fobbing off some 1.2GHz W200.......

The whole point of them was an affordable 1.5 without useless gimmicks and un-needed embellishments. A workhorse/gaming phone.

Just need to partition it for that really.

1Gb of app space is just not enough. I re-partitioned mine to 3Gb app space. My son's has now run out of free app space and had to install things to SD. Will partition his next.

Random Reboots

Hi, I ordered three thl w200, and in two of them, it just randomly reboots, and in one the problem is specially serious because I sold it to someone. It reboots just after turning the screen on, the screen goes black and then it shows me the thl logo. After it finishes booting, it asks me for a new default sim. Does anyone have/had this problem?

I only rooted it
[Android General] GODISMYCOPILOT:
if this has stock rom on it i would wipe it and put the custom rom on it thats some ware in this thread if not then your kinda screwed and may be have to return it or sell for parts i had probs with mine till i put a rom on it

KITKAT Camera apk available NO PHOTO LAG

just installed the KITKAT CAMERA ( android 4.4 ) on my THL W200. rest of phone is still android 4.2.1 :)

Hi again, I managed to "fix" the touch screen problem by flashing another stock rom but now I encountered a bigger problem. Tried to install custom rom something went rom and the phone imei numbers are blocked. Great! Anything can be done to fix it? Thanks!
[Android General] RobboW:
Just tried the kitkat camera, it has issues on my phone. Panorama doesn't work and the aspect ratio on captured images and video is messed up. Not a fix unfortunately.

The kitkat google calendar worked better than the one in my stock ROM though. Deleted the original and kept google. Syncs good with my Exchange calendar for work.

I tried the email client but it didn't work with exchange. It seems to me that some of the Google stuff is being dumbed down?

And now the xda app won't work for me, security issue. Have to use tapatalk, sigh.....

Unable to open security settings

Hello,

When I try to open 'settings - personal - security' I get a message saying 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped'. I used to be able to open the security settings without a problem. The W200 is running stock 4.2.1 and is rooted.

Is there a was to recover this fault?

Thanks
[Android General] layup23:
Tried it on my phone and it works just fine for me!

I had a similar problem when I tried to open up developer options but after a reboot it works fine...

try a reboot, see if the problem persists, if so I recommend flashing a Rom via Cwm recovery.

I have a question for you guys

I remember seeing, a while back, a few video reviews of the Thl w200 and I remember the phone having an app called "theme" which would allow you to switch from some predefined themes. When I got mine there was no such app. Do you guys have that app?

I just found a pic on DX.com with the Thl and they also have that Theme app - http://dx.com/p/thl-w200-wcdma-quad...apacitive-screen-wi-fi-and-gps-rom-8gb-232285
[Android General] RobboW:
The theme app was for the local models, our international ones don't have it. I've installed it to my phone in the past though. It just changes the wallpaper on mine.

I made an installable zip (from SD in recovery mode with CWM). It can be installed manually too. I tried to upload the zip to attach to this post, but it won't go, not sure why.
[Android General] layup23:
Oh so only the wallpaper is changed:(...

Btw where do you get these things? I've tried google but most of the times I get results of various websites selling the phone and not actual apps.
[Android General] RobboW:
I copied the files out from a ROM. I have a feeling there was more than what I copied so it only does wallpapers, but to be honest, it's not worth doing. Better off just getting other wallpapers and launchers.
[Android General] piter92wzg:
I have a problem. I have new LCD and i have been trying replace it but when I finished and turn on the phone LCD doesnt work. Digitizer is working and home keys under the display also (they are lighting). But display is blank. I dont know what to do. There is any tape which I could not take off?﻿

OK problem solved

[Android General] tomerstern:
Ive configured two w200 devices thus far, and I found this bug that I wonder if anybody else have as well:

Vibration works well for the back, home, menu keys but the vibration wont work for apps like keyboards (swiftkey) and dialers (exdialer).

Any idea?
[Android General] layup23:
In my case SwiftKey vibrates when I'm typing. Perhaps it's because of your audio profile, it sometimes keeps your phone from vibrating.

I also use google translator. A little later explain that thread was a test, carry the two roms that show. Use the Badui but the camera does not work. But the brutal zopo goes without faults. Comes with lenovo camera that gives error when entering settings. But you also have the stock, delete the lenovo and now this.

It might be from your keyboard. Try opening it up and looking for the language settings, might be something there.

Has anyone tried the Google Experience Launcher that comes with Kitkat?
[Android General] RobboW:
Haven't tried that one, but tried soooooo many launchers since I got my W200 and most are either too simple, or have bugs that affect operation, layout or performance. I always come back to Holo Launcher HD. Works great and so configurable.

Im using this launcher with some changes in gravity box (in status bar), and it really looks like it have android 4.4 :D Very good launcher in my opinion

I am a novice when it comes to rooting, etc so I have not tried it yet until I found this article -

http://www.modaco.com/topic/365704-thl-w200-info-root-custom-recovery-and-re-partitioning/

I managed to root and backup my stock rom.

Thats all I have done so far.

Too bad Frankish have eBay/sold his THL W200 and move on to Nexus 5.

There is a step on re-partitioning the internal rom. Is it safe/easy to do?

Changing rom is not in my sight yet. :) :)
[Android General] RobboW:
There was a partitioning guide posted further back in this thread. I've done it and the phone has been good. My son's is now low on app space so will have to back up his data and probably flash it to Ludoo ROM and partition etc like mine.
[Android General] layup23:
Yes, it is safe but please remember that you first need to backup your phone via CWM recovery and make sure the recovery files are placed inside your external sd card ( look for clockworkmod folder). I made the change myself, boosted it up to 5 gb. Not a single problem.
[Android General] RobboW:
I have mine set to 3Gb app space and so far only used 1Gb. It's heaps of room. I would go 1.5Gb on mine if I did it again from the start, although if you have a lot of games that may require the extra space.

I have games in mine, but not too many.

Hello Guys!

I have a little problem with my Bluetooth connection. I use My Phone Explorer at work to synchronize my calender. To be able to do that the Bluetooth needs a defined COM port, but the computer says my device has no COM port service running. Does anyone have the same issue?

How can I add or start this service on my W200. To be clear the Bluetooth works flawlessly, I can pair my phone to the computer, sound and everything else works only the COM port cannot be defined which is only needed for MyPhoneExplorer.

[Android General] layup23:
Sure! After you install the CWM recovery, you boot to recovery- choose to backup data and then wait.

After that use the file manager to check if inside your SD card ( the external one) you have a folder named clockworkmod and open it to see the backup you made ( it should be a folder with the name of the date you're in when you made the backup).

After that install the little partitioning app- select the desired internal memory. After that choose to reboot to recovery. The "Select the Reboot to Recovery option in the app. When in recovery select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset". Then you need to restore your Clockwork Mod backup that you made earlier.

The way you restore is you select backup/restore and choose restore and select the package you made when you created the backup.

That's it.
