[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Interesting. Out of interest, how do you use your tablet ? I'm just trying to work out if there is any link or difference - personally I thought the same, that tablet was good, until I used my Nexus 10... Then I was "sold" - tablet UI was sub-optimal. I tend to use the tablet with 2 hands - one holding it, another free across the top for use. I find keeping navigation to the centre more logical personally, and more ergonomic. It also keeps the notification tray at the top, consistent with the phone. At other times, I use the tablet as a "monitor" and type with a Bluetooth keyboard, where I do not interact with the touchscreen much (except at arm's length), and find phablet UI quite convenient. Moreso than I felt with tablet UI.

It's intriguing though. I am sure I can look at readding it some time, but I'm fairly busy so it will take a while. I noticed Sony seem to be moving to phablet UI for 4.2 as well though...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] daveid:
I hold mine on the sides and mostly interact with my thumbs, thus central on screen controls are hard to reach. But, to each his own. I also use Thumb Keyboard exclusively on my tablets, much more natural than trying to type with one hand holding with the other.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
so yeah i finally got around to testing the GPS navigation and it just says "Searching for GPS" the whole time so confirmed its not working.

i also found a issue with the swipe to type on the AOSP keyboard as soon as i tried to use swiping it force closed the keyboard, not a big issue just thought id mention it.

i noticed you've done a couple of updates as well whats the best way to update the rom just flash as usual using the file in op?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Just like with CM nightlies, just flash the latest update right over whatever you have.

In rare cases other changes will be needed, maintainers will usually let you know in these cases.

I'm investigating GPS on 10.1 on the windy - it's proving to be a bit of a headscratcher, although it has many of the hallmarks of the same problem we had with the modem on mint (Xperia T) months ago. Unfortunately, we can't use the same fix/workaround we used on mint. :(

pulser, may want to check the CM10.1 thread for my SMD debugging patch, might give some useful info - although what I need to do is get a build environment together for stock kernels so I can apply that patch to .370 for comparison.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andymg350:
i hate to sound like a noob but i am still learning lol is it safe to just flash the updates with cwm or is it best to do it with the flash tool?

it seems like gps has got a lot of people scratching their heads at the moment but im sure with so many looking into it there is sure to be a solution soon :)

Edit: its OK I went ahead and flashed the update using cwm and it worked, I'm to impatient to wait lol but at least I've learned something :)

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
I am having issues with my wifi where if the device is a sleep for awhile I lose wifi connection and cannot restore until I reboot, is this an issue with 10.2 in general? (deleting data/misc/dhcp/ did not help)

Also, I noted these on the official forum (and as there is no official thread here this seems like the most suitable place)

- The icons on the app drawer seem to show the next page, whether you are using vertical or horizontal, other devices don't seem to do this

- GPS we all know about and I hope the new firmware will provide what is needed for a fix.

- The last nightly fixed the issue where CMupdater would bootloop recovery, glad to see that fixed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] andersh:
I'm om the latest nightly and can confirm this problem. It's probably AP dependant. At home things work just fine, but I'm currently away and have major issues with losing WiFi after sleep.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] phillipssat:
i can't understand the problems with GPS and HDMI...

i thougt sony will support the cm10.2 devs with open source.....

official 4.2.2 is out.... i am not a dev and therefore i dont't understand why up to now there is no full functional Image ??

Other Image for Huawei Mediapad e.g. runs nearly perfect without any help from Huawei, only two devs are activ.

Everyone talks about Tablet-Z , my feeling says there are many many devs for it, SONY itself supports CM....

BUT...... functions incomplete...

I only try to understand the problem at Tablet-Z situation....
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Yeah managed to get around it by turning DHCP on within my wireless ap's config, odd but that does the trick, not having the issue at work. So its a good long term fix for me but still odd.

You're using the CF-Autoroot method? It's the only one which is working if you've happened to update to MG1 by accident or anything.

Otherwise the Motochopper exploit should still be alright :/

You're thinking of a different model. There is no MG1 update for this one. The latest is ME7, which the OP has already stated they had not upgraded to.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mackpbj:
Hello, I have an unlocked i337 and i am currently using it with Tmobile. Almost everything seems to be working fine with it except a few hiccups and I was hoping someone could help me figure out what is wrong.

1. After I unlocked it using the service method I was getting 4G (HSPA+) speeds most of the time and sometimes 4G LTE speeds. The data speeds were great and I was receiving incoming and outgoing text messages fine. But while I was able to make calls just fine I was unable to receive any calls. Anyone who dial my number would go straight to voicemail. After messing around a bit with the phone my solution was to us *#2263# and select "WCDMA and GSM only". Once I did that I lost the LTE speeds but I was able to still maintain HSPA+ and receive phone calls.

Any solution to this without sacrificing LTE?

2. While I can can receive MMS messages fine it takes a really, really long time to send one(hours) and sometimes it doesn't send at all. My data is HSPA+ and pretty fast and I have excellent service in my area so I can't figure out what is wrong with it. I have been using Viber and tango to get around it.

Any idea what I can do?

3. I have to make frequent trips to a hospital for my son who has a congenital heart defect(so we are there for 6-7 hours at a time). In the hospital, the service is very poor but they offer free wifi. My previous phone was a tmobile Note 2 and it had wifi calling so I was able to get service while there.

Can I flash a tmobile S4 ROM to get wifi calling to work? Will I lose my unlock or brick my phone if I flash it? Should I use the MOD that enables

all AWS bands first?

thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
I've seen some people say its a good idea to update it and others say its not needed, and doesn't offer any improvements. I'm currently stock, rooted, and unlocked and trying to decide if I should revert to stock, take the ota and have everything update or just flash one of the 4.3 stock zip. I saw you can fastboot the updated bootloader but I have like no experience with fastboot and wouldn't want to screw anything up.

So its either revert to stock and accept the ota and gain the updated bootloader, or just leave the old one there and flash 4.3. I could try fastboot but weary of that method.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
Do not be afraid of using fastboot so long as the commands you typed are correct.:)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Okay thanks...I'm actually in the middle of flashing clean ROM. First ROM on my nexus. I can still go back later and update the bootloader right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Great. So I flashed clean ROM 4, reboot system and now it keeps automatically booting up into recovery. It shows thr google splash screen, flashes and it shows again. Then boots into recovery. What's going on here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
there is an NVRAM ERROR in WiFi ,,, Also External Sdcard couldn't be read in music player app and titanium backup I guess it needs to be mounted as internal
[Miscellaneous Android Development] baja.ja:
Is working OTG ? Please upload to another site.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
NVRAM 0x04 PATCH

Yeah NVRAM ERROR 0x04 is pretty strange because it was present in every custom or stock rom I've tried so far on this Iocean x7. The difference is that in this rom it appears in Settings>wifi. In others roms you usually can see it only when you analyze wifi signal with an app (eg WiFi Analyzer) otherwise it is hidden.

If you want NVRAM ERROR 0X04 to disappear from wifi networks, flash the attached zip file and you will solve ;)

For what concerns music player, are you sure? It works without any sort of problem for me both with internal and external sd card. Have you ever had this problem before with other Iocean roms?

For what concerns TitaniumBackup, you can choose any folder both in internal and in external sd card. You can modify the default backup folder going into Titanium settings>Preferences>Backup folder location and choosing the one you prefer.

I restored my backup from external sdcard and my music is in the external sd card too, both should work for you too (TB will work for sure if you change backup folder location).

Yes OTG is working as you can see in the screenshot below (see the mouse pointer in the middle of the screen)! :good:

What website would be good for you? I'm uploading it to dropbox now, it will take about 1hr with my connection.

EDIT

thlw8_plus_GravityMod2_Iocean_x7.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
This rom is based on THL W8+ stock rom (so not CM). I ported almost completely GravityMod2 which is a modded thl w8+ stock rom, I just needed to patch a few part of the rom to make it work on our different hardware.

By the way AFAIK CM based roms for MT6589 devices only share an interface similar to CyanogenMod, nothing else since Mediatek hasn't released the full android source code (and probably never will). You can get more information about it in the following thread:

CyanogenMod for mediatek devices

Yeah I am unable to get the music player working in most of the ROMs on my iocean x7 ... Music appears in Poweramp and Rocket Player and doesnt appear in default music player, doubletwist, Google Play Music

I get a FC when I click About Phone in settings

Now after flashing that patch file the NVRAM ERROR is gone but my WiFi signals become weak every now and then, even when I am sitting right next to the Wi-Fi

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
First of all thank you for your feedbacks :highfive:

Talking about the previows patch, don't worry it doesn't affect signal, you should get exactly the same signal strength if you measure it in dBm. What may change is just the number of signal bars shown which is only software related.

To be sure I just tested it in both configuration (without patch and with patch) and I got the same results in the limit of their statistical fluctuations. Here you can find the results I got:

______________Before Patch__After Patch

Next to the router -47 -45

Average distance [-65, -61] [-65, -60]

Far from the router -76 -75

Considering that those results can vary in a minute of about 4-5dBm, this means they aren't affected even if, you're right, after patch less wifi signal bars are shown (just a matter of different configuration).

Talking about music player, if you experienced this with previows roms too, it cannot be rom related, but something else. Try to check /sdcard/.nomedia or /mnt/sdcard1/.nomedia, if you have a file named .nomedia that may be the reason why no track are shown. Otherwise it may be due to a task killer which kills media sincronization for example, do you use any task killer?

For what concerns settings, I know, I will try to solve it but anyways I consider it a low priority bug considering that "about phone" field just shows a few properties of the rom, visibile in /system/build.prop too. Anyways I'll see wether I can fix it!:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
Yeah the signal bar drop is alarming and there is no .nomedia file and there is no task killer installed

one more problem my real racing 3 data is on my SD card and now the game downloads all the data files again because my sd card is mounted as an external card

Sent over Electromagnetic Waves
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
If you want I can post you a patch to get back to the previows configuration. By the way, as I said, don't worry because real wifi signal strength is exactly the same. For the music issue, I sincerely don't know, especially because it happened to you with previows rom too and this even has a different base. May it be due to some kind of music app installed which creates any sort of conflict with the stock one?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
Thanks a lot for your help I will try experimenting with the music problem to get it solved and I haven't installed anyother music app just using the stock one.

If you want to swap sdcard0 and sdcard1 and make the external sdcard your internal sdcard, flash the attached zip. Tell me wether this helped you with Real racing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] baja.ja:
This is great rom. But in antutu I have 11300 score and with iocean basic rom 11700 .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Antutu score and interface responsiveness

Hi, thank you for your report! ;) I usually don't pay much attention to Antutu scores, because IMO it is often not strictly connected to real usage experience. Even the use of some init.d script may decrease antutu score sometimes, but they can actually reduce lags, increase smoothness and so on.

You made me curious so I just tested my antutu and got a result of 11919 as you can see in the attached picture below, but it's just a number (which varies a lot doing tests in different situations), don't worry about it. :p

If you really want to increase interface's responsiveness follow those steps:

Launch GravityBox module

Go to General Fixes and enable Advanced developer options

Go to Settings>Developer options and change "window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale" to a value lower than 1.0

I switched them to 0.25, but even 0.5 works really good, it depends wether you prefer accurate animations or fast responsiveness. Of course if you like "beautiful" (but slow) animations you can even increase that number!

In htc evo 3d is sweep2unlock to unlock phone. Is possible do it in iocean x7 ? I do not thing so, but I wrong ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
That's strange, I tried to repeat the test described in post #7 with exactly the same results before and after the patch (measured in wifi signal bars this time):

______________Before Patch__After Patch

Next to the router 4bars 4bars

Average distance 3bars 3bars

Far from the router 2bars 2bars

If you want to revert back to original configuration(the one with nvram 0x04 warning), flash this. By the way the most important thing is that wifi speeds and signal receptivity remain the same as in non-ported roms.

Well, I actually don't own an htc evo, nor a phone with that feature, but I don't think it is possible to add sweep2unlock to this phone. I'm not sure about it, but I'm afraid it's a kernel related mod (you should ask C3C076 in his GravityBox thread to be sure).

PS thank you both for helping me to improve this rom! :highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Oh ok, that's right. Back camera resolution it's ok (8MP interpolated to 12.6), I think that front camera resolution is 2MP interpolated to 3-5MP. Stock camera included inside the rom is thl w8 one, so it should be enough to take stock iocean camera app and install it. You need to delete /system/app/Gallery2.apk and replace it with one from a working stock or custom rom; in case of odexed rom you'll need Gallery2.odex too.

Anyways I suggest you to download Lenovo Super Camera, I think it's much better especially for full hd video recording. Moreover it grants you a 2560x1920 resolution for front camera.

Yeah, I don't have it because that's an Iocean Elite bug (I got Youth) which is not related to rom (whatever you flash, there will always be).

Iocean released a patch to fix that, but using it on an Iocean Youth would make you lose your touch screen response forever.

So, are we talking about Iocean x7 Elite, right?

Here's the guide to fix ghost touch in Playstore

THIS IS ONLY FOR IOCEAN X7 ELITE, FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE ON ANY OTHER IOCEAN X7 WILL BRICK IT

[Miscellaneous Android Development] natkingcole:
Auto Brightness does not work correctly because of the light sensor. Strange behaviour. In the original THL8 thread it is mentioned, that you shouldn't play around with the brightness settings in gravity box.

However I did it of course before reading it and I don't know if it was because of my fault or if anyone else having this issue. If I set auto brightness in a low light ambiente the brightness will be he lowest possible. Now I hold it into the light and the screen will be brighter. Problem is that the screen brightness wont change now wether you go outside or you are in total darkness.

Why?

Because of the light sensor. It starts at 0 Luxes, and everything below 800 Luxes will be shown as 0 Luxes.

Now, if you hold it under light, it will show you 800 to 1000 Luxes light intensity and the screen brightness will adjust, if you checked auto brightness.

But if yout go into darkness, it wont go lower than 800 Luxes anymore. That's why auto brightness don't work correctly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Yeah, I never use auto-brightness (not even in previows phones actually) because I prefer to set it manually. Anyways that's the same behaviour I had even with other roms, everything below 800 will be considered as zero and the light sensor isn't particularly sensitive nor accurate in its regulations IMO. It easily passes from minimum to maximum and then back to minimum as light conditions change. Don't know whether it can be improved, we'd need to find its configuration files location.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
After couple of weeks of usage I've noticed that data connection sometimes can stuck although that there is H/H+ on the bar, there is no internet connection. Sambaaa, maybe you can apply some patches for that in next rom? In jlroms theres was some lines that helps i think. Another observation was that gps can ocasionally stuck on even when I got turn it off, in my case that was battery drain problem, also wrong gapps.
