THL w200 MIUI 3.9.20 rom has been published by Russian guy.

http://docviewer.yandex.com/?url=ya...&name=MIUI_3.9.20_THL_W200.zip&c=5248c0393db7

Have you try this rom?

Installed today, seems nice and smooth. Haven't preformed any in-depth testing yet but did encounter an internal storage issue (I have no SD card installed). Apparently there's a patch available to fix that over at 4pda.ru but after numerous attempts at downloading it I finally gave up :mad:

Would a russian-speaking member kindly upload it for us?? :o

Hello guys, I've been lurking here ever since I ordered my thl w200.

My phone seems to have none of the issues you talk about, it came with 5,73gb free storage, antutu score on stock rom was 16734 from the get-go and stock camera app seems responsive and lag-free. Third party camera apps do lag, especially with flash involved.

So my question is, what are the benefits of a custom rom? Stock rom is silky smooth already, I got it set up the way I like and am perfectly happy with it. Only thing that I miss is a 900mhz 3g band. Is that even possible to add through custom roms?

Help me with the THL W200

Hello, people!

I have a big problem with my THL W200.

I had before the CWM on it, and then then the software (zip) loaded, has functioned it.

Then I also installed Miui V5 for the THL W200 functioned, however, one could not call up.

Then another member has sent me a new Miui, now the problems go off.

The mobile phone starts, Miui logo comes a few seconds shine, then it switches off again. It is a long-term loop. I also do not walk in any more in the CWM, now apparently this is away. With the Flashtool does not function with me.

1. I load Flashtool

2. If I take the battery for 10 seconds out from

3. me the cable USB connects, then I press download, and there I have two problems pictures I lay in the appendix. Must I press there anyhow a Vol + and power? I can make nothing more with the mobile phone. Please, help me!

yesterday i install luboo's rom and after that every time i recieve a call the time and date setings menu pop up
[Android General] RobboW:
No, for 900 3G, it's a hardware limitation as far as I can tell.

My son's W200 is still mostly standard, just Holo Launcher HD, CWM recovery, rooted and notification LED fix. He hasn't too many added apps and it runs really well, still on the older ROM, he has no need to change it either. It's a nice stock firmware IMO.

I overload my phone with so many apps and email accounts, exchange calendar, facebook etc etc, any phone will end up with issues for me, so I end up modding the system when possible, plus, half the time, it's just because it can be done. Like a hobby.

An iPhone would drive me insane, being closed out of the system (and hardware) and doing what Apple tell me to....

If you like it how it is, leave it alone and avoid problems :good:

English translation is hard to understand, but seems to me the partitioning will be messed up. If SPFT will connect to it, I would flash the complete standard firmware back on and start right from the beginning with it. There is an original firmware on NeedRom. It has the scatter file and everything needed within, for SPFT to flash it with correct partitioning.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

As well as flashing it, did you clear cache and do a wipe/reset in CWM? If not, maybe the system is a little corrupt from old personal data?
[Android General] Franzlmann:
I can not get into CWM, Vol + and Power, and also not in the bootloader vol-and power. The CWM is gone. I also can not flash, it just appears the purple bar that moves up, then a checksum error occurs. I want to flash the CWM dnur, the others I have on the SD card. I have just the problem with the flash tool, is there an accurate guide for the W200 THL?

Bottom right of flash tool is indeed the library driver, but the bar is always red.

I now have the whole again loaded via Flash Tool, then runs a purple bar and loads, then comes the error Fat Checksam failed, how can I install CWM again if he always bring bug?

Yeah, thought as much about 3G 900....pity. I have also rooted my device and applied the LED fix as soon as I turned it on. As apps go I keep them as organized as possible, and only the most eseential ones. Never any more then 15 to 25 other than the stock ones I believe. So I pass on the flasing until some new essential android update comes in a form of custom rom. If ever, that is :D

Which ROM? Is it the one with greenify and bootmanager?

Last night I removed them from mine, and lagfix. Now I have more free memory and it runs nicer. These apps end up taking resources and messing with system operation IMO. They seem to create different issues than what they try to fix.

I kept xposed and gravitybox.

The later rom has support for the alternate touch screen and he added the xposed framework plus modules and greenify etc. If you don't want those and have the older touchscreen, the earlier rom would be better. Go by the version number date, not the name.

[Android General] RobboW:
Did you de-greenify any apps that had been greenified, and un-bootmanage apps flagged in bootmanager, then reboot before removing updates, then reboot again, remove original apps, then reboot?

I did it this way, a graceful reversal to minimise chance of error and corruption.

I turned on the extra developers options with gravitybox, then turned on the option to immediately kill apps when they're closed. It seems to mostly work, keeping memory use in check by not holding onto apps I was running. Did this in preference to running apps to stop other apps starting.

Hi all,

Don't know if previously asked and solved but I couldn't find it in the forum.

Has anyone notice that GPRS/3G connection is dropped down during a voice call? At least in my 2 last phones (Galaxy SII and HTC One S), that was possible: I was able to have a phone call and browse Internet simultaneosly, but not with THL w200. No matter what SIM are you using to make voice call, the behaviour is the same.

Any help with this? Is it possible to keep 3G up while talking on the phone?

Thanks a lot and regards.

My answer to pacosant about his problem with antelife ThL W200 mtk6589 at 1.2Ghz:

Paypal dispute for significantly not as described item or chargeback your credit card. Antelife will answer to you eventually after

7 oct 2013. In my case i have talked with all antelife departments (facebook page - service@antelife.com - tech@antelife.com) and at the end their technical department ask me to join their forum (bbs.antelife) for a solution. What solution could a forum offer? So i had

open a dispute in paypal and closed after their promise for a minimum compensation(two genuine leather cases).I am still waiting for those cases.Antelife announced that this was THL factory problem and asked buyers to sent them back (buyer pays return shipping costs) or accept refund 15 usd. My opinion is that antelife knew cpu problem and i can prove it. I am also waiting my second order

THL W200 from 6 sep 2013(opened item not received dispute today). Never again antelife.
[Android General] pacosant:
Dimitris thank you for your comments.

in my case after three emails to Antelife, they send me an email that I suppose it`s an automatic email generated by a machine. In that email they offer a leather case and requested the order number (that is the reason that I believe that it`s an automatic replay because the order number was in all of my emails).

At that moment I decided to open a dispute on Paypal (in which I request 80$ for receiving a different article). Then I receive an email from Antelite stating that a refund will be made. No refund received at all via Paypal for the moment, but in the Antelife web page my order appear as refunded.

I don`t know what Antelife is going to do, but as you say we have to wait till 7th of October.

Just regarding the latest firmware and the new touch screen used.

Touchscreen:

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the old touchscreen was multi 5-point touch. The latest one it is released with is a full multi 10-point touch. Neat and all, but not sure why the upgrade.

Firmware:

Ok, so im not sure if its the firmware thats buggy, or they replaced the touchscreen with a budget mofo. But i have found that going from the older touch-screen model to the newer one, the keyboard isnt as precise as the old on.

Yes, i bought another one, no, its not because it was faulty. I just wanted to swap my black one for a white one.

Cant wait for them to release a newer firmware that gets rid of the crappy driver for the new touchscreen. Or release the source for it!

System settings\Display\Wallpaper, choose option.

Must have LiveWallpapersPicker.apk installed in system apps, and a live wallpaper to apply, for example, LiveWallpaper.apk

Be warned though, live wallpaper consumes resources so flattens the battery quicker, video wallpaper is even worse.

You can get them from here.

They're in the extra apps zip file.

If you just want live wallpaper and video wallpaper files, here they are. Not sure if you will be able to use them. You would have to have a rooted phone and file manager with root support, unzip and drop the files into system/app and fix permissions, reboot and see if they work.

Has anyone worked out how to change the bootanimation?

I made a modded one, even signed it and made it an executable zip update for CWM, but the phone refuses to display it, no matter what method I use :(

It still boots but doesn't show an animation, just the initial splash screen. The update zip seemed to work fine, so I'm learning a little basic dev stuff :) Had to put the original file back in.

Edit:

I've made an update zip to add the Chinese themes to the OS via CWM, going to test it after CWM backup of the phone. You can put them in the OS manually, fix permissions and it works (I already did it that way before), really, it changes wallpaper more than anything. My phone keeps the icons as is and in English. It's an app accessed from app drawer once installed.

Edit:

And it worked perfectly :p

So my bootanimation update would have worked if the actual animation was acceptable to the OS.

Here's a screenshot of it applied on the rainforest scene, and shots of the Theme app in app drawer, app opened to themes chooser and example of chosen theme to apply.
