I briefly tried a few of the ROMs last night and your "stock" 4.1.2 is the one that I prefer so far. Just to be clear it's the Elbuit repack of the ROM here which seems to be an Acer V350 ROM/port?

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/rom-4-1-2-stock.47032/

(Curiously Google voice search worked fine for me out of the box whereas it is mentioned that it is supposed to be broken. Maybe Elbuit included this in his repack?

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/rom-4-1-2-stock.47032/page-2#post-439403

Anyway that ROM is a nice and clean JB ROM whereas the other ones here still seem to have quite a bit of Chinese stuff that I cannot reconfigure to English...

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threa...x-con-superuser-y-playstore-castellano.40695/

I like the idea of the no on screen buttons + Button Saviour approach to maximising screen space but I'm not sure that I can get used to Button Savior. Failing that I'd like to reduce the size of the on screen buttons as they seem far too big for me but I don't know if this is the only way, if it will work here and I don't really understand the ins and outs of the deodex requirements for doing this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167176

Anyway - more stuff to waste my time on. :)

Regarding the heating problem that you mention I wonder if tools such as Better Battery Stats, CPU Spy, Wake Lock Detector etc. might help with diagnosing the issue and pinpointing the alleged problem? For example maybe one or more apps is keeping the SoC/CPU/GPU awake "too long" and this is causing it to heat up? I have used these tools to diagnose and optimize battery drain but perhaps this is another thing that could be investigated with a similar approach? I haven't had a chance try this myself and so far can't tell if mine "heats up". Does this happen when you are doing anything in particular?

Thanks again for the "stock" 4.1.2 ROM and your feedback. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gASK:
Yes.

I might have broken it after I made that backup, since I made a lot of tweaks in the first hours and I don't really know what I did when. If it works, then great!

Personally I prefer the onscreen SW buttons and I don't get the appeal of button saviour or HW buttons, but everyone likes different stuff :)

Still, good luck with making the buttons smaller and let us know if you succeed, other might use that.

The heating problem is pretty simple - when I use the phone a lot (games, web, GPS navigation), the CPU heats up, which in turn heats the battery up to 50°C. There is no mystery and no hidden problem :)

However I might have found a simple solution for that - I have switched the CPU governor from the deafult "ondemand" to a "msm-dvcs" one (which is optimized for Qualcomm CPUs) and since then I was unable to heat the phone above 40°C. I'll keep trying though and let you know if it works ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalyer:
Having done a test and it worked I'll probably never use it again. I never use Google voice search but I'd be sad if it was missing... Go figure... :D

Well the guy in the thread mentioned (Dev Jaskirat) seems to have done all the work and a full tutorial so if I do anything it'd just be figuring that out and applying it to the W910. Hopefully I can have a look. Probably overkill for a few extra pixels but you know the way it is... :)

Ah - OK - I didn't realise that there was no mystery and it was simply down to gaming. That obviously makes sense so. I don't game so I guess it's irrelevant to me.

BTW - another possibly dumb question but what would be the chances of a ROM (e.g. CM) for an existing MSM8260[A] SoC based phone "just working" on the W910? And what is the worst that could happen if it did not (soft brick? hard brick it?)? Would it even flash? Would it need kernel changes? (I'm out of my depth here but how else to learn but to ask questions... :D).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3adcrash:
That sounds interesting, gonna test it myself. Did you notice any performance or battery life impact after switching the governor?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gASK:
It's too early to judge the battery life impact, I will have to wait and see if my long term average battery life will improve. As for performance, I have noticed that this governor is sometimes a bit slower to "pick up the pace" - it is most noticeable when unlocking the phone after a long sleep or switching between low performance apps. While there's a noticeable "lag", I can live with that easily as it does not impact the interactivity in any way.

Also I have managed to heat the phone up to 50°C again last night, but I would say it took more time. Still, the overall temperature is now noticeably lower.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mforce2:
Yes, just what I though. They're actually wrong, according to the GPL we should be provided the code for the Haier W910. It's not their software, it's the Linux kernel which they just modified and they have no rights to it.

But it's all pointless I'm afraid. No one has been able to enforce the GPL in China so reverse engineering it is. It's not going to be easy or fast but I hope it's least going to be fun.

Thank you again for trying china jay chou.

Any idea if they still produce the phone right now in the factory or are they just selling old stock ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3adcrash:
I wish you success and good luck! If you have any results, could you please post them in this thread here (even if you open a new development thread)? Just because I have subscribed to this thread and this will allow me to notice that there are new developments available... thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mforce2:
Will do. My phone is its way to Romania so I still need to wait a bit. But I've started the initial investigation into it. There's very little I could find online about reverse engineering a kernel and that scares me a bit but we'll see.

I don't expect it to go quickly as I'll have to be careful, one wrong setting in the kernel and the board could burn out. Not to worry though, once it works on my phone this won't be a problem for any other testers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zivbenster:
Hi Guys,

for all those looking for kernel source code, have you checked the SONY developer site?

they have the Xperia T with the same processor, and maybe some kernel code can be salvaged from there?

here's the link-

developer.sonymobile .com/2013/02/21/update-on-xperia-open-source-archives/

just remove the spaces i added in the link.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mforce2:
Thanks but it's not as people think. I can give you a technical explanation but the point is that ARM on kernel 3.4 is a very custom thing. In newer kernels there's a configuration file, a dts for ARM devices which stores the specific configuration for that devices. Since this is an older kernel though all settings specific a device are embedded in the compiled code, in the kernel itself.

Yes, the Xperia T has the same SOC but the pinout, the way things are connected to that SOC is not guaranteed to be the same and most likely isn't. Also the orther chips ar not the same. The touchscreen controller is not the same, and neither are the cameras used.

I've researched many kernels and the closest I could find was the Acer CloudMobile S500. Even so I've still got a binary kernel which I have to match to some source code and it's not a very easy task.

A serious warning, don't try to use different kernels, made for a different device. They could seriously damage your phone.

I Tried It it works Flawlessly ..It is a backup of ported rom Acer V350..but looks great runs smooth Autntu Benchmark is 11340.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalyer:
I presume that's not with the latest AnTuTu 4.0.3 as with that I get 16000+ on what I presume is the same ROM which I mentioned earlier (gASK's "stock 4.1.2" on the Spanish forum and which I believe is the same Acer V350 ROM or derivative).

(And yes - I know that benchmark results should be treated with caution and not the be all and end all of what a device is capable of :)).

I tried the backuped rom ported from Acer V350, I was afraid to get a worse camera since the 4.3 of spanish ROM was replaced by Camera Bravo but...IT IS AWESOME! Has all the features of the 4.3 (excluding photosphere, but GREAT and BETTER PANORAMAS!) with a lot of post production and real time effect for videos! Love it, trust me, it's simply the best!

I just would like to know if I can flash the spansih battery percentage mod and If I need to flash the battery saver mod too! ?_?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalyer:
I would suggest using the the Elbuit repack of gASK's ROM here:

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/rom-4-1-2-stock.47032/

Specifically this download in the first post:

4.1.2_SWEP_GDETB1A_v03.010.03.g_04_build_37617_by_elbuit_v0.1.zip (311.98 MB)

It includes the battery saver mod already.

I don't know if you can flash the battery percentage mod that you mention. Maybe do a CWM Nandroid backup and try it and if it goes wrong revert to the backup?

Hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diomorgan:
But the ebuilt repack is a repack of the spanish/castellano one, or the V350 port? I remember it was posted before the the V350 port, but maybe I'm wrong! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalyer:
gASK posted his "stock" JB 4.1.2 (V350 ROM or derivative) here:

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/rom-4-1-2-stock.47032/

Elbuit repackaged it with some changes (and maybe fixes - see my post on page 8 of this thread in conversation with gASK himself).

This repack is linked from the post above - just scroll down.

This is the direct link:

Also busybox are added.

gASK confirmed this earlier and he should know. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanky76:
Hi Dalyer, Can you give me the link of the Rom from Spanish site ..I wondered I have installed the ROM from Polish Site .. It gives me the score 11340 .

Sorry - I messed up the link in my earlier post and linked to something on MoDaCo about Huawei G300! :(

I have fixed the link and also added a direct link to the download of Elbuit's repack of gASK's "stock" V350 based 4.1.2 ROM for Haier W910.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46413797&postcount=88

I find the Multiupload site a bit fiddly for downloading from but try a few of the links and you should get the zip eventually... Make sure that the zip size is correct and that you can open it in a zip tool just to sanity check the integrity before flashing. Unfortunately there's no MD5 published and I don't have the zip handy to generate and post one.

Hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mforce2:
One thing I really wouldn't worry too much about is benchmark scores. It's already been proven that many manufacturers have special tricks in the firmware to detect when a benchmark is run and artificially overclock the CPU and GPU to make the device higher. There could also be other tricks involved though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gASK:
You can likely flash the battery percentage mod (I have not tried, but there's no harm in trying - just make sure to make a backup in case something breaks). As for the saver mod tool, DON'T FLASH THAT. It's made for the Spanish ROM and it breaks the dialer in this ROM. Besides, this ROM includes the energy savings feature from the start, so no need to use that.

The battery saver mod is in this ROM from the start, so no need to add it :) Elbuit "only" repackaged it and added busybox.

Elbuit made a repack of both of them - he repacked the castellano one in his own thread (http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/rom-haier-android-4-1-2-español-2-13a_elbuit_v1.44821/) and made a repack of my backup in my thread (http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/rom-4-1-2-stock.47032/ - it is quoted at the end of the first post).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalyer:
I agree (and already said) that benchmarks are by no means the be all and end all performance measurement.

But they are not totally irrelevant either.

I don't think that stock Android has anything built in to skew the likes of AnTuTu results.

And I doubt that the likes of Haier do anything lower level than that to skew the results.

So no point in getting fixated on benchmark result but also no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater! :D

BTW - gASK thanks for the clarification on those points relating to your JB 4.1.2 ROM and the Elbuit repack of same.

Hi elbuit - thanks a lot for posting this - and for including the GMD AutoHide Soft Keys app. :)

I'm still trying to understand the differences between the different JB 4.1.2 ROMs on the moviledualsim forum.

ROM Haier W910 - 4.1.2 Versión 2.XX - Con SuperUser y PlayStore. Castellano

ROM Haier Android 4.1.2 JB multilanguage build 38168_by_elbuit

ROM 4.1.2 - "stock"

2 is a repack of 1 with some changes - including your latest changes

3 is gASK's version of the Acer V350 ROM with some changes and including a repack by you

Does 1 (and consequently 2) originate from the Acer V350 ROM or somewhere else?

Can you clarify the main differences between 2 and 3 if possible as they're not totally clear to me from reading the individual threads? 2 has Apex launcher? 3 has Bravo camera? Others?

Apologies if these are dumb questions! :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elbuit:
All are ROMs from Acer V350.

"My" ROM comes from ROM 1 and is translated to other languages.

Gask upload a backup of his ROM, I only made a CWM instalable version of this upload.

Is the "stock" rom of acer v350, others ROMs are mods of this.

Is a clean nearly stock ROM, and has Bravo Camera, ROM 2 does'nt have Camera Bravo, but is a oxed ROM.

I use for weeks Gask ROM and I love it.

I think that all 4.1.2 ROMs comes from gask version.

My repack of ROM 1 don't have apex launcher,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalyer:
Thanks a lot elbuit.

So you reckon that ROM 1 (and your repack/mod of this - ROM 2) actually originate from gASK's ROM 3?

Hello everyone! On the Czech forums about Android, one of the members (zaty) made a repack of my backup and created a more usefull and less bloated ROM with some enhancements (the topic can be found here, but beware - it is in Czech, so you will need Google Translate!).

Below is a short description and a link to download for those of you interested:

Download the ROM (removed Live Wallpapers can be downloaded separately from here)

It can be installed "normally" through CWM, so I will not translate the step-by-step guide as it can be found many times here :)

Added and modified stuff:

Xposed installer, Gravitybox module for xposed framework, Xperia Z1 keyboard, Androidu 4.3 fonts, camera / gallery from Android 4.3, Xperia sounds, ogYoutube app, Google Calendar, NoFrills CPU controll, Total Commander

Removed stuff:

Calendar.apk, Youtube, all engineering apks, live wallpapers.

Known bugs:

WiFi sometimes does not reconnect when waking phone from sleep - this seems to be only affect some routers so changing your router for a newer one can solve this :)

You can thank zaty for his work in the thread on the Czech forum linked above if you like his work ;)

Rom Updated, you can find it in the forum (ver 02112013) it has even the bravo camera mod as a separate zip to install throught CWM (GREAT!)

Looks stable and fast, all I really miss is the percentage icon instead of the battery.

The battery icon is so small that even if it's at 50% it looks like 25% or so, and I don't want to waste ram to use an app or a widget with % .

Does anybody know if do exist an universal app for 4.1.2 (JB in general) or a .zip to install with CWM or a build prop line to edit?

Thank you in advance for the answer ;)

Actually, tons of people are using the last repacked 4.1.2 Rom from the chzeck forum with no issue here on xda, on Spanish and Russian forum and on androidiani Italian forum.

So I really can't tell why some people had problem.maybe it's due to a flash-after flas -after flash?

Anyhow, the original 4.1.2 is a bacuk of a Rom found as "stock" on a phone from a Spanish (I guest) guy

Look for his post, he posted in this thread also to explain the other 2 (not that huge) repacs differences made from his cwm backup.

If you feel fine with 4.0.4 (I need the offline voice dictation introduced in 4.1, so I'm not) just root if you needorleave the stock Rom without messing up.you can find the 4.3 camera/gallery as standalone apk and you can install nova launcher from playstore.

Pleasenote also that the wi-fi is a problem related to some (old?) routers and I had no problem at my or my parents house.
