Search the thread, the reason for this has already been identified as misaligned leds with lcd buttons. There is no way around it.
[Android General] miljenko:
I have seen that post but I'm not sure it is only that (in that case more light would leak trough buttons).
[Android General] zdravke:
The way they imagined this to work, is that light would be carried by light conductive material which is under buttons. That obviously did not work well, so unless you want to solder some ultra bright SMD leds instead of existing ones and put some more current drain into already weak battery, there is no way around it. Between led holes and touch buttons there is steel barrier - I even managed to dremel this out to let more light in, but it still does not work.
[Android General] miljenko:
New custom ROM, now XperiaC

OK people, new PORT from my kitchen

[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
Hi. I have this phone for almost three months, and only now i noticed a little bug, but nothing to worry about. When I long press the "home button" there is an option that says "One key clean", but it simply does nothing when I press it.

Any suggestion to get this option working? Thanks.
[Android General] turrista:
working fine on my phone, cleaning memory
[Android General] Sargos76:
Hi miljenko, reports from your new port? Nice work, i will try it latter
[Android General] miljenko:
Hi Sargos,

I'm using it since yesterday and it is stable and fluid, butter like. Still need some cleaning but definitely can be daily rom, only thing that noticed that buttons backlight is off.
[Android General] Sargos76:
ok thats usal on THL phones lol,led notification works?and battery comsumptions?
[Android General] layup23:
Wow! It looks great!

I'm downloading it as I type! Can't wait to flash it.

Could you please tell me what wipes do I need to do in order to flash it via CWM recovery?

Thanks!
[Android General] Sargos76:
Hi Big, since it is a new rom, factory reset, wipe all, cache, davlik and battery stats, i usualy do it this way, all via cwm
[Android General] Sargos76:
I ve got 16420 with stock diodexd, does all woks? Led notification?
[Android General] djport1973:
YES, the LED works. The speakers will hear brutal. Forum notifications are heard in note 3 does were heard
[Android General] RobboW:
Nice work, but I have a question.

I looked up the Xperia C at GSMarena and for 3G it shows HSDPA 900 / 2100.

No 850. So did you insert the THL baseband to get 850 working, or you use a carrier that is 900?

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_c-5541.php

My carrier is 850 so if this doesn't work there would be no point using the ROM.
[Android General] Sargos76:
Thanks man,i confirm all works except the button ligths ,great rom, my congrats to miljenko
[Android General] miljenko:
Modem is from THL W200, it is not possible to use XperiaC modem since it is different hardware. Phone GSM/3G band support is a hardware deal, not software (partially).
[Android General] RobboW:
Ok, so it will work for me :)

Downloading from Needrom. I might try it out. I do wonder if it will be much different though. Maybe mostly cosmetic difference? Same version of Android?

I'm wary of constantly trying newly ported ROMs. I like to have my phone set up as I like it and just use it.
[Android General] Ysabelkid:
Miljenko

Will you be creating one with Kitkat 4.4.2?
[Android General] miljenko:
Just for djport1973 I have created S4 port. It is HDC Galaxy S4 Legend UI with some additional changes. It will be uploaded tonight after some more testing and posted here tomorrow. For now it is great ROM. Hope that you will like it.

Some teasing screenshots :D:o
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
I will try the xperia rom, it seems pretty cool :) Do you think it will be possible to get the button leds working?

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

Cool :D can you tell if the things with the eyes work?
[Android General] miljenko:
First MTK phone with KitKat and then I can try to port it, but problem will be with the kernel. I already made port (for my use) of the KitKat like rom and I didn't like it.
[Android General] djport1973:
Thank you very much chef. If you are as good as the note 3 will be my best rom for my w200 thl. The rom xperia C performs very well but I like more the samsung style. Thank you very much and great work
[Android General] RobboW:
My W200 is re-partitioned to 3Gb app space. If I do a CWM backup to SD, then flash this Xperia C port, will it be messed up because of the partitioning? Or just completely overwrite and work OK.
[Android General] miljenko:
It doesn't matter how big your partition is, just make backup to your external SD, make all wipes and install new ROM. If you don't like it, restore your backup. If you need apps backup, use Titanium backup.
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
Do you think it will be possible to get the button leds working on the Xperia C rom?

Thanks :)
[Android General] djport1973:
I use the internal memory for backups of roms. Just put apk 1.5 gb for me and the rest left over 5gb
[Android General] RobboW:
Yeah, next time I partition, will go 1.5Gb as 3Gb has proven too big. To backup apk I just copy them to SD with es file explorer.
[Android General] Sargos76:
Xperia rom is there an option to choose the the sim card before we send a sms or made a phone call?i cant find it! On stock we have
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
Just installed the Xperia rom and its very cool, very good work :D I have only some questions:

1 - How can the volume controller be like in the stock rom? (the volume on the speaker is too loud, and I think it can even damage it).

2 - Do you think you can do a .zip with the original bootanimation of the Xperia?

3 - Will be any way to the bottons LED get working?

Thanks :)
[Android General] djport1973:
For the speaker volume you're going to settings and disable sound xLOUD
[Android General] miljenko:
1. Disable xLOUD under Settings/Sound

2. Xperia boot animation attached, just flash it by CWM or TWRP

3. Will check, probably next version will have this fixed
[Android General] layup23:
Miljenko man this port that you did is awesome!

My previous phone was an Xperia J and I've missed the xperia launcher( even dough I've tried some third party launchers but nothing can compare to an actual Rom) and this is perfect, exactly what I've been waiting for ! I especially like the small apps floating over the screen!

Thank you!

I would like to ask you, do you know if it's possible for our THL to be able to control the music player via headphones with the headphone button?

I've tried it on all the Rom's and all it does is it opens up the dialer. Tried a few button configuration apps and it didn't work, also tried to change the keymapping configuration file but still did not work... Do you think you can help?
[Android General] RobboW:
Not possible, THL uses an old standard for the headphone socket. You're stuck with how it is :crying:
[Android General] miljenko:
Have you checked Dual SIM card under Settings?
[Android General] quasimidi:
Well, you are right, but there is an adaptor to solve this issue for example on Ebay.

Basically the only difference is between these standards is the switched Mic-GND pinout. That's why most of the handsfree headphones mic doesn't works.
[Android General] RobboW:
Have you tested that device? I have an adapter like that which came with a pair of headphones and it doesn't work.
[Android General] Ysabelkid:
What is the battery life like?

Is the dual-sim management the same as the stock ROM - choosing which sim that has the data, which sim to send SMS, etc?
[Android General] miljenko:
ROM will be postponed until I solve some problems with the proximity sensor. Dual SIM setting are similar to stock ROM but not same.
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
Thanks for the answer :)

I already disabled xLOUD but it continue louder than with the stock rom (but no big deal).

Continue with the great work :)
[Android General] layup23:
It's not OMTP, it's CTIA, just like regular android smartphones.

I read it on 4pda, it was written by LiveMoto. He tested out the power that the headphone socket has and according to him we do have the regular CTIA standard.

I've also tested out the omtp to ctia adapter and the sound was actually bad then with the normal plug.

I we would have a different standard ( the ompt standard) our regular headphones would not work without the adapter.

So there you have it, it's not a hardware problem.

LiveMoto told me that as far as he knows we need to edit a file from the android system and change the keymapping. I've tried that but did not have any luck.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Try this:

Pause any outgoing media playing, uncheck Xloud and also uncheck Clearaudio+. Open up a media player and you should notice a change in the volume of the media file.
[Android General] RobboW:
The stock ROM, and others based on it have their bugs, but porting brings it's own bugs. I think I will stick with Ludoo's ROM a while yet.

Keep up this great work guys, I'm sure you will end up making one better than stock once you get a more compatible donor ROM.
[Android General] Sargos76:
Buy some good headphones, i bought some sennheizer and they boost like hell :)
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
I love this Xperia ROM :D

It's so awsome, and for listening music is the best, with all the effects in Walkman app (specially the ClearAudio+ option) :)
[Android General] Ysabelkid:
Could you list the good points for the Xperia ROM compare to the stock ROM please.

How is the GPS? :)
[Android General] Sargos76:
This rom dont have this option, we have to change the sim card on the top options bar
[Android General] djport1973:
Try it and check. It is very hard to spoil our thl hehe. I've tried almost everything for thl w200. Miljenko makes good roms
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
I installed this rom yesterday, so I didnt test the gps yet. But I can say it's cool, smooth and without any lags. The battery duration is the same (or better), than with the stock rom.

Edit: One thing I noticed is when I do a download through the browser, it crashes.
[Android General] Sargos76:
Yeah smooth, excelente rom, crashes i dont have, but i use chrome
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
Yes, it crashes only on the stock browser.

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

miljenko If it's not asking to much, could you please add the stock Xperia camera app?

thanks :)
[Android General] Sargos76:
I ve tried the stock browser and didn't crash may be its a question off drivers
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
Yeah idk...
[Android General] layup23:
Found a bug- If I create a shortcut of one of my apps from the app drawer( by long pressing and dragging it out to the homescreen) and then reboot the phone the shortcut is no longer there.

After a reboot it disappears. It only happens with shortcuts, the widgets work perfectly.
[Android General] Sargos76:
It happens to me when i made the backup with cwm, and reboots to, lets hope that miljenko couold solve this on v2 :) but still a great rom

Hello I'm having some problems rooting the THL W200 with Framaroot. It doesn't work.

I read that someone had the same problem, but I don't know the solution :( Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance! :o
[Android General] Sargos76:
You must have the right version for our phone
[Android General] RobboW:
If you search my posts or look back a ways in the thread, I uploaded zip files attached to a post. One is a rooting application for use with Windows. Worked well for me.
[Android General] layup23:
Another problem I found with the Xperia port, from time to time the media scanner seems to stop and none of my media files appear. The gallery seems empty and the walkman says there are no track. The only way to fix it is to reboot
[Android General] rughis:
Thank you RobboW

I tried also with Motochopper Auto Root, but it doesn't work :(
[Android General] Sargos76:
Framaroot 1.6.0 wiil root your phone for shure
[Android General] rughis:

I used 1.8.0 and I'll try with 1.6.0

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

[Android General] rughis:

[Android General] Sargos76:
Throw it in to a wall will be rooted for good lol, serious, flash the phone with flashtools and stock rom it will solve the problem, but i for shure now that you are doing something wrong, because framaroot 1.6.0 works for everybody in all forums

Hello,

Tomorrow, I will order a w200 THL :)

I found it, supposedly the latest firmware : blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/08/03/thl-w200-latest-firmware-released/

This link can it help you to solve some problems ?

I'm not sure of the effects can give a Firmware update.

Good luck :)
[Android General] RobboW:
I tried using a CPU app on my Samsung, it made the phone jerky, less responsive, only fixed when I re-flashed it. I'll leave the W200 alone for now. Maybe later I'll try a custom ROM, if I have any issues.

[Android General] Planlos96:
For a couple oft days, every 30 second the Text "no space left in device" pops up.

Some of you have the same problem?

I have enough space. 450 MB free for apps, 2 GB on sd and 4 GB free romspace.

Never saw this message in other devices.
[Android General] RobboW:
Still setting mine up. I'm annoyed that my Logitech Ultimate ear buds don't work with it properly when they were fine on my Samsung, also the sound quality is rubbish so far compared :(
[Android General] Planlos96:
The latest firmware is already installed on the phone. Take a look in your settings "about the phone"
[Android General] RobboW:
Mine says 18/06/2013, so I should flash it....
[Android General] Planlos96:
Interesting is the Build number. There you can See the filename From your link.
[Android General] DavidLF:
Hi guys ,

how is the battery for you?

i think its really bad.. it was good at first, but now..

listen, i think that the battery is not 1800mAh. i think that is a lie like in the ThL W100. they got the same batterys

the battery is actually 1500mAh not 1800mAh. look at this page : http://iandroid.co.il/forum/post1062195.html#p1062195 (down)

i tried to check if my battery is also 1500mAh but nothing is writing down, anyway i downloaded some battery App and he recognized

the battery as an 1500mAh. Dam' it :mad:
[Android General] ludoo:
Yes the battery life is about average, more or less what I would expect from a Samsung phone. :)

What I'm noticing compared to my Newman K1 is that the W200 gets warm much more often, and it goes into deep sleep less often. I checked wakelocks and alarms with better battery stats but nothing jumps out at me, so it might be a system issue.

Anyway, I love how slim the phone is, which is also due to the less powerful and smaller battery.
[Android General] RobboW:
It's wider and taller than my 1500mAh Galaxy W battery, but thinner I think. From what I saw today, mine lasted ok considering the screen difference and 3 extra cores, but that was it's first charge. Will charge overnight and see how it goes tomorrow.

So far I like the phone in general, but am quite disappointed by music audio quality. It's quite inferior (poweramp installed) :mad: to my Samsung even when using my large headphones. Call quality seems ok so far and it looks to handle dual SIMs ok.

I'm strongly considering flashing that slightly newer firmware on.

The LED .so file mod worked well for mine. The LED is on constantly when charging, but starts flashing once it registers a notification, even if charging still.

Root is sticking, full access. I found a nice digital clock widget for it too, and installed Zeam launcher. Fairly lightweight but more functional than the stock one. Set up activesync accounts and installed calendar widgets, now synced with my work calendars.

About 200Mb free RAM left, installed a lot of apps already. The OS takes up more RAM than I expected and I think JB would be best on a 2Gb RAM phone, but it feels ok, smooth enough still. Will see how it handles setting up all my other email accounts.

One thing I saw is that the system files are in Chinese, so hard to edit anything if needed. Will have to rely on DroidChina development.

Apart from the audio quality (no idea if it's hardware or software issue), I'm happy with it, but if a flash fixed audio, it would be worth it. I also wonder if a non stock ROM would help here?
[Android General] lmmerono:
Someone truly seen this RO.EDi custom ROM??

Hello, my question is that I have to be kept made ​​many colleagues, this ROM really exist or is it a lie bigger than a jumbo?.

The point is that the hyperlinked to that supesta Custom Rom is volatile like a butterfly, ro.edi gives all kinds of explanations but ... Where is the hyperlinked to download this "wonder"?.

Since many of us we are looking above all a cwm for thl w200 and know it will be hard to find for awhile, and question the button "home" software because it is difficult to manage the stock recovery.

If it is a lie, I think he's had his 5 minutes of fame and suggest that managers of different pages where the public come to remove our "dear" friend? ro.edi and go to Sahara desert to photographing whales

Cheers and kudos to the first to provide truly a recovery that works for our Thl W200.:good:
[Android General] ludoo:
Audio quality improved drastically on mine when I switched from the included music player to something else (in my case Xperia Walkman), slightly pronounced treble maybe but overall not bad at all with good headphones.

As for RAM, there are a few apps you can freeze or remove, and of course greenify helps as on any phone. Mine has approx 400mb free in use.
[Android General] Ysabelkid:
1. Can one trust the results from anTuTu benchmark?

It says he camera is 12.6 MP back and front but if you look at the jpgs taken from the camera, it is 8 MP back and 5 MP front.

This agree with what is written on the box.

Even though it is 8 MP back and 5 MP front, the photos taken are really good in normal lighting - no noise at all and sharp.

2. How much internal storage is there in the W200?

Their web site quote 1GB RAM+8GB ROM.

anTuTu said there is only 1 G.

3. Is there a bigger battery than 1800 mAh to make itlast at least 2 days for average use?

Overall the phone is really well and different from others with the aluminium casing (I think) on the sides. The colour is vibrant and swiping is fast. It is also longer than the iPhone 5.
[Android General] instantwater:
Can be 2 battery switched in paralell, and hack the back cover?
[Android General] RobboW:
I'm using Poweramp music player, and for sound quality, I'd rate it the second best just behind Neutron. The W200 with same app and headphones or car stereo just sounds rubbish next to my little Samsung. So disappointed....

Will flash firmware, but maybe later I'll buy a Galaxy S3.
[Android General] marsian0:
You could try DSP Manager from CM, i installed it and sound improved.
[Android General] RobboW:
Found the issue, even though I had headset soundFX turned on in audio settings, Poweramp has exposed that the Android equaliser was off by default. No need for extra eq apps as poweramp allowed me to turn it on and adjust. :P Still a touch different to my little Samsung but I'll give it a good go. Bass is now punching, highs now a lot more crisp. Had a go with headphones, I can live with it now, but I think I'll still flash to a newer firmware.

You can access Android equaliser from the sound effects option in stock music player, best to adjust there first, then set your preffered music player settings.

I think it was turned off to allow a higher benchmark score. Naughty THL, lol.

If you have access to the phone via SP flash tools before making any changes, you are ok.
[Android General] layup23:
Reboot the phone and the media files will show again. From what I can see there is no other way. It's a small bug. After you use the phone for a while the media scanner no longer works and you can't see your files in gallery or walkman.

Reboot and they will be there, but not for long.
[Android General] Sargos76:
There is a way,put the music files on the internal storage then the walkman recognizes, so our problem are the reboots, solved for now :)

If you like wallpapers that are high resolution and you don't wanna google for them just install "Picpseed wallpapers" from google play. It has daily updated hd wallpapers and if your launcher is compatible it can even set the wallpaper as non scrollablea
