Call Quality

How is everyone's call quality on the latest firmware.Every time I call someone they say that my phone is cutting in and out,but my signal shows full service.Does anyone besides me have this problem.What might I do to fix this any suggestions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
there are many MTK6589 quad code based phones hitting the market - they all appear very similar -

I believe that the software / roms may be interchangeable depending on the hardware config of devices

Xperia-Ray - great work on the MiUI v5 mod it looks awesome!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] damiankitai:
Looks very interesting. Is it still based on 4.1? Is it recommended, since our W100 is 4.2.1?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
flash the image on your phone, try it and get back to us, i believe its 4.2.1 I dont think THL has released a base image of 4.1.

Tried 130711 to my 130529 (original base version). Dual camera works and framaroot's boromir exploit roots the phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
i was unable to get framaroots exploit to work. i attempted the root, then installed Xposed installer which requires root but it wouldn't work.

Removed framaroot went back to normal root (as desribed earlier in the thread) installed xposed & gravitymod now working great on the latest ThL rom 130711
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sudoeste:
The first try with framaroot fails (better yet just closes). Starting the app again and selecting boromir roots the phone. I used framaroot 1.5.3.

Also motoshopper works on this version.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
I used Framaroot-1.6.0.apk which crashed or did nothing the first time ... It appeared to have worked but X-posed Installer wouldn't install hence reverted to the earlier method. If it works for others please post back results. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sudoeste:
The first time does not work. The second time it works and gives a success message.

I did choose supersu, framaroot installed it and after the first start of supersu you have to update the binary the normal way.

After that it's rooted

I've got the same issues than you. My phone has natively the 130711 firmware and his own recovery... I wanted to flash the Barry63 recovery and so I tried with the MeidaTek USB Preloader driver, but my phone , after less than 2 seconds disconnect and yes, it's shown in USBDeview... I uninstalled the Mediatek USB preloader and re-installed it many times in 4 different pc, but no difference : my phone disconnects after 2-3 seconds...

I tried to flash the recovery with SPFlashtool, but had no luck... nothing happens...

Did you succeed in it ?

Thank you for your answer

I am trying to root the Thl w100 with the sp flash tool and the barry recovery.

Installed 130711 to my 130529 with sp_flash_tool(leaved the cwm6.0.3.0). The main problem is same, endomondo not working properly. (This is an android API bug, some register optimisation error with MTK cpu, this call calculating distance between 2 gps points, every short distance is 1Km). Runkeeper working ok (hmm, not), maybe this don't uses this api. We need new android version.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] damiankitai:
I just finished the antutu test on the new StefDio THL w100 rom. 13187. The stock gave me 12500. I only see a problem with the rear camera. It works but with a purple tone, and a "diffuse" effect. Titanium backup gives me some troubles getting all back after the flash. Some apps do not restore.

can u pls share the cwm recovery.img??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stinkydiver73:
Why everybody use exploits for rooting??? Installing cwm is a must (ok, recommended). When you flash the new rom, just replace the recovery image with barry's cwm6030, or just flash only the cwm onto any rom. With cwm, you can install superuser.zip or what you want. These exploits will not work tomorrow.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] damiankitai:
I didn't like it.

It does NOT solve the GPS problem. The only GPS problem the W100 has is a distance measurement problem that all the MTK6579 do. I tested with endomondo and runtastic, both have the same problem with this rom or the stock rom.

It also adds a purple diffuse efect on the rear camera. Also, it adds a delay in the lock screen.

No major improvements from the stock rom, not worth the effort.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sudoeste:
Oh... Just install clockwork recovery and backup

Enviado do meu Galaxy Nexus
[Miscellaneous Android Development] i_novakov:
nbainab much

I confirm the same disadvantages, except that photos have purple diffuse efect, the quality is worse then the stock rom. Not worth to install it.

The only reason to try different roms is to improve photo quality, especially in low light enviroment, but at this moment i have not success.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty.2k:
for those encountering issues with GPS - are there any options in GravityBox to correct this ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
No, not yet.

But other apks like RunKeeper do the job very well. I've tried it successfully.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KuliG:
Can you play 1080p videos or with AC3... everything else than standard i mean.

They won't play on my THL, okay they play but only on software decoder and they can lag.

it is really weird because MTK6589 is able of playing 4K video O_o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HS03:
Chainfire is an intermediary OpenGL driver. I want to play with Horn, but the game is supported by tegra.The flash tool is not working, they do not find the phone, the drivers are installed, exception the MT65** Preloader. :(

What are you think?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty.2k:
which instructions did you follow and at what step did it fail ?

screen shots?

error messages?

It sounds like you haven't installed something correctly. Try another USB port, make sure you remove the battery before reconnecting to computer.... look at previous posts in this thread, the issue sounds like it may have been covered...

I have a suspicious feeling that I am the unofficial ThL w100 support person at times... lol... :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] damiankitai:
Yes, I can confirm that. There are a few apps that work correctly. However, most of the apps don't. That leaves us with a small amount of useful apps.

I personally don't like runkeeper, since it doesn't show satellite view, and I ride my bike cross country, so no street view there.

Mountain bike pro from runtastic is perfect for me, but it does not work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty.2k:
hmm... ive noticed in another thread someone developed an app that enables / disables the cores of the MTK6589.. you may wish to search for it... there is a free and a paid version...

which rom are you using ? are you using MX Player as it has many optimisations for playing videos?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HS03:
I downloaded by google play, and i installed it. In the chainfire's settings, i enabled an option, and the phone is restarted, but it doesn't boot. I see the ThL logo, but nothing else.

I tried another USB port, USB cable, and i removed the battery, but the pc doesn't installed the preloader driver.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty.2k:
head over to needrom create an account and log in

go to the THL100 section

navigate to the StefDio THL w100 link and download - Recovery

go back to the ThL100 section, navigate and download the official rom Official 130711 (11/07/2013)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
He means camera doesn't record 1080p. Because thl w100 has MTK6589M, not MTK6589. The difference is that first has lower frequency at GPU
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KuliG:
Nope, I mean 1080p video playback

well also THL should record in 1080p but it doesn't (even on "fine" mode O.o)

GPU is (i think 2core) 286MHz also it scores 4000 3d points in antutu so its normal MT6589

(or 3-4 core 156MHz, but it's unlikely)

My THL W100 Setup

Just want to share my THL W100 setup, based on 130711 Stock Rom. I believe THL did a good job optimizing their firmware.

-Official 130711 Firmware from needrom with CWM Recovery from Ro.Edi. (CWM not TWRP)

-Root done with UpdateSU zip via CWM (http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip)

- Removed Skype and wallpaper videos from System to have space available for next step. You could remove ringtones and other stuff you don't use to achieve this.

-Install Busybox Free from Play Store - Choose Smart Install - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

-Improved Audio using Viper4Android, I just love the Dynamic Bass option - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223 - During install, when asked i choosed "CortexA9 with NEON"

-Stock Rom doesn't have init.d support, I use Universal Init.d (needs busybox working properly) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d

- Applied MOD PurePerformanceX from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2360985 (Needs init.d working).

I'm now trying to get Touchwiz from SGS4 working, if I get it to work properly, I will post results here.
