Xperia C Port for our Cubot one

Hi Everyone,

There we have it the rom is ready!!!

Installation instruction:

1. Download zip and put in your sdcard

2. Boot into recovery

3. Wipe data/ cache (may not be necessary but recommended)

4. Select install zip and choose the zip file and flash

5. 1st boot take a while so don't panic

What are working:

Better sound quality ( I think but you may think not) - You can use unclemobile app to adjust the audio settings

GPS - Flawless

Camera - The best I have seen for Cubot one roms so far

Dual simcard -- work well good call quality -

Wifi -- flawless

3G -- flawless

Bluetooth - haven't really tested it but it turns on so I will think it is working

Display - all icons are really clear

plenty of different themes

Home, menu, and back key work well

Known Bugs

1. Home, menu, and back key work well - doesn't not light up in the dark so you cannot see them ( not a big issue)

2. Dual sims app does not have 'Always ask option' which mean you have to set up a default sim your calls will be made from

3. No reboot option on the power menu only power off option

4. Menu option does not work directly from home screen, you have to go into app launcher before it starts to work.

These are small issues they don't have too much bearing on the daily use of the phone. Please feel free to report any more bugs found, I will try to fix them when I get time.

Coming soon waiting for approval!!!

I have bought the turbo version of this phone(mtk6589T). Have i made a mistake? Does this phone have serious issues? Can anyone post some camera samples?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maximus1a:
the phones are identical exept the processor. all things related to the "old" non T version apply to the new version with T processor.

Turbo version

Hi Haemi,

14 days ago I receive my Cubot One 1.5 Ghz (Turbo) verison. It has ROM v0.6 and it has also very un-smooth display. I try to downgrade to original ROM v0.4 adressed in this forum, but it was the same problem.

Then I also try the latest MIUI ROM 3.12.13, and then the expirence was 10 times better (faster and quicker response), but if I go to settings menu, lagging still present.

I don't know why but it looks like T version have some serious problem with display smoothnes, or I am just to critical. My wife has Samsung ACE (1) and display is smoother than my Cubot One?!? :rolleyes:

I will stick with MIUI for now, I only missing my local language here.

Maximus1a, is it possible to include also Slovenian language in future version of MIUI ROM?

Bostjan
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abriosi:
Does the miui version has any bugs on it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
This is bit of delay with uploading. Should be really tomorrow at some point now... sorry about that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maximus1a:
i include all languages i can find. not all languages are maintained by the representant guys. some translations are more than 3 months old and completly useless.

first you have to investigate what is slowing down your phone when lagging happens.

adb and logat are the tools you have to get close with.

i don´t know. i have the old non T version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abriosi:
What about the camera, i read somewhere there were some issues with it? I couldn't find detailed information about it though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maximus1a:
you need to be more concrete.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abriosi:
Would it be possible if you could share me some photograph samples, for example, a picture in clear day and one in night with flash? Well i guess that might be asking to much for your patience
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maximus1a:
the stock camera app and the miui camera ap are not so good.

i suggest you to use the lenovo camera app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abriosi:
So the reported flash problems, and bad auto focus are .apk related?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maximus1a:
no, but this camera app compensates the misconduct.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Acefolder:
Hello Maximus1a,

I received my Cubot one finally after 3,5 months from focalprice.com

It's the 1.2 MHz version.

Are there any custom roms for this version with dutch (NL) language in it?

If not is there a way you can add this language in future rom?

Thanks in advance!

I have change the boot animation to HTC cos I like it, if you want full Xperia experience you can download the media folder below and replace with in the system folder user root explorer app!!

http://www.4shared.com/folder/D0BJzdYN/media.html

if you want advance power menu, you can download app called xposed installer (google it), try version 2.4.1 don't update it and then install advance power option within the app, give it permission and reboot. Then reboot option should come on the power option with few more.

I would like to know what people think about the camera, I think it is a lot better please confirm

screenshots are here

Please add this rom to top header. Thanks

If you like this rom and you are feeling generous and you will like to donate please do.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legendz:
Thanks for the hard work but at least for me this bug is a pain in the ass and detracts from the usability of a dual sim equipment.

2. Dual sims app does not have 'Always ask option' which mean you have to set up a default sim your calls will be made from

Keep it up!

I tried Buttonled, but doesn't work for me.

Thanks.

WOW! What a rom, looks very good!When we have the chance to play with it? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Hi androidia :highfive:

I have just recieved my new Cubot One non Turbo version. I have tried all your ROMs and the Lewa turbo but the all seem to have the same poor camera quality which I believe is inherited from the stock rom.

The camera quality on my new stock rom is excellent so it seems that maybe Cubot have fixed the issue's in this current build :good:

I have uploaded my STOCK rom as prepared by MTK DroidTools maybe you could flash this version for comparison to your stock version.

If you see any improvements maybe you could use it as the base ROM for your ports. :good:

Phone.info. Here

Hardware : MT6589
Model : CUBOT ONE
Build number : G800_CUBOT_D1_V0.6_20131205_MJK
Build date UTC : 20131205-115346
Android v : 4.2.1
Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P6, 2013/06/26 21:17

Uboot build v : ----- should be root shell
LCD Driver IC : 1-nt35590_mjk_kj

The Uboot build version never shows up for some reason even though I am now fully rooted :confused: maybe this is the key :fingers-crossed:

The stock Launchers icon and widget image quality is just plain awful It's like it's meant for a must lower res device :laugh:

That's very good. I will try it. Maybe you should upload a mirror l was unable to register for mega upload site... I have another beautiful ROM I have ported based on Galaxy s4 I will try it on that before uploading..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Japanska Buba:
Install Xposed Framework and than GravityBox. You can find here on xda.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
Hi Guys,

I have the 1.5 processor it will be a problem if I try to install roms from here?I need a special rom?

Anyone trying to port HTC Sense 5? :D Just asking

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Acefolder:
Ok, I'll try this. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
No need to register with that link :confused:

Not sure if you tried to download it with your mobile or not maybe you need to register for that :rolleyes:

Using a PC requires no registering and is free of spam pop ups and false download links unlike many other download sites. :eek:

I really don't see the point in me flashing another rom when there are obvious problems with the base rom at least on my phone anyway no offence intended :o

If I was you I would use the latest official build you can find for your base unless the factory screwed up their build course :good:

I can't quite believe that a large manufacturer like Cubot can push out such dull poor quality roms even the boot animations looks like a small child made it :laugh:

You could try a port the S4 rom of my other phone which is Star U9501 on the MTK6589 cpu http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49036763&postcount=3 It's a 5" screen but 720x1280 res it's fast and smooth but you will need a few of the reporting cheats stripping out :laugh: you trust the fakers to make good quality Roms :cool: :laugh:

Hi Khrisstyan,

I had a cubot one turbo since 21th dec .

You can read a french thread about my experience with this phone.

http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/156479-cubot-one-47-hd-mtk6589-8go/?p=2857161

[MENTION=2624405]Japanska Buba[/MENTION]:

About Xposed, did you install it in your cubot one ? Have you a turbo model ?

I use GravityBox on my iOcean, and it's a great application.:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
Thanks, l am only interested in trying the new camera on your new stock rom. I will have a look at your other phone if it can be ported, I have already ported galaxy look alike rom which am using right now can't wait to share it I think you guys will love it. Everything is working apart from poor camera. I can download your stock rom now I will play around with it later. .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Cool :good:

I suspect that maybe you will need to flash both Uboot and boot to fix the camera as a lot of the hardware is pre configured in the Uboot but I cannot be 100% certain of this I just know Lewa used to update the Uboot's sometimes to fix certain issues :highfive:

Looking forward to the mtk6589 S4 port with camera fix hopefully :fingers-crossed:

Cubot one turbo with MIUI with HTC theme is working

Hi,

I also install two ROMs from here on my turbo version Cubot. ROM v0.4 and much better MIUI last version(before installation don't forget to delate mtkbt.apk and change wallpaper apk files inside ROM zip)... bluetooth is working:good:

I instal exactly the same as Fennec91 describe in french forum. Currently I am using MIUI with HTC sense theme downloaded from here:

en.miui.com/thread-7865-1-1

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
How did you applied the theme?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abriosi:
How do you guys are making custom roms? I thought the sources for this phone werent realeased
[Miscellaneous Android Development] perbos:
Changing Themes on MIUI

After installing MIUI ROM you should have icon called [Themes]. If you click on it, you can download any Themes you want for Free or Paid, or you can chose Local and install theme from your phone. Left phone button and chose import from SD card. I try a few themes and all works fine :cowboy:

Cubot One and 2D

Hi Maximus1a,

Can you please explain in short what can I do with these two tools, where can I download them?

Last few days I compare my phone with my co-workers phones. Last phone that I compare was Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus I9250 Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 / 16 GB storage, 1 GB RAM and I was relay impressed with the smoothness of that phone. I try to compare AnTuTu resault of Cubot One with other phone:

Cubot One (T)____total:16615, 3D Graphics:4115, 2D Graphics:744, RAM Speed:572

Nexus 4_________total:16793, 3D Graphics:3884, 2D Graphics:1629, RAM Speed:959

*Samsung Nexus_ total: 8634, 3D Graphics:2686, 2D Graphics:859, RAM Speed:1446 (*different v of antutu) ?

Samsung S2_____total:10576, 3D Graphics:2299, 2D Graphics:920, RAM Speed:657

What we can see is that Cubot One have really the lowest score for 2D graphic, even if we compare it with phones which have much lover total score. And the same is with the RAM speed. But I has a really good 3D graphic.

My questions are:

1. What are 3D, 2D, and RAM scores for Cubot one for non T version?

2. If the low 2D capability is the reason for unsmooth and lagging of my Cubot one, Is there a way to use 3D or processor power to calculate 2D?

MIUI rom made my phone much smoother, but still it is not the same as for example Samsung Galaxy Nexus, or my wife Samsung ACE1

Thank you for your answers,

Regards,

Bostjan

How can I change the strange kiddy font installed on this latest 4.2.2 rom? Why would anyone change the font to this? :eek:

3rd party apps won't work, there's not "Font Type" under "Display" like in regular Samsung's...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maximus1a:
you are compairing apples and pears.

our phone never got into competition to any snapdragon based phone.

the non t version has about 13000 antutu points.

the most bad thing is the lack of GPU performance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
Guys I have added download link to my new Rom, please report any bugs. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legendz:
Androidia, please check my remark regarding system font.... would appreciate any input on this and I don't feel confortable using this with this comic type font.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
Download app call 'font changer' from play store then choose any font you like give it permission any reboot,.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

If you don't like the font on the rom, it is very easy to change. Just download app font changer from market. There are few of them!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legendz:
I've tried several, none will work with this rom, they install a APK with the desired font that can't be found anywhere as there's no Settings -> Display -> Font Type
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
Try searching for 'font installer' from market with black folder icon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legendz:
That was the 1st one I've tried, and tried it twice, in both of them after installing the selected font it went to reboot and it stayed there forever, no more Android. No loop, just stuck on the lightning style animated gif.

No problem, will get back to Lewa OS :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alareth1976:
Hello everybody...

just a question... is it possible to redistribute internal memory to have more available for apps? or to move apps to the internal rom (around 6gb free) instead of SD Card? otherwise that rom is near useless (I've a 32gb sd card)

and now just an info, out of the box Antutu recorded more than 16000 for my Cubot one
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
Hello guys, I installed S4 port ROM and now the logo when you power up the phone is THL but I want to be CUBOT!How can I change it back?

Thank you and best regards!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abriosi:
How come galaxy nexus has a superior 2D performance? Galaxy nexus uses PowerVR SGX540 and cubot one uses PowerVR SGX544 and both have and 720p display..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
You need to flash logo bin only from you stock rom. Just deselect everything else apart from logo bin then you will have cubot one logo back
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
Deselect from were?Only method I use flashing ROMs is via cwm.Isn't a method for cwm?

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
Have you not used mtk flash tool before? That's the quickest way' Google it. I Will repack the Rom again with different font and logo over the weekend!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
Can you please provide me a stock rom for mtk flash?Is ok to work with mtk flash in Windows 8?I tried to flash the stoc rom via cwm from the first page but I got the same result...:(

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legendz:
Thanks for this, I have to say that this is by far the most effective rom WiFi wise, it's been ages since I was able to get some hotspots with other mobiles/roms - and with this rom I can! Congrats!

On the other hand I was smoothly playing some games with LewaOS rom and with this ones it lags and graphics do get slow, maybe some optimization is needed in the gpu code?

edit: has anyone tried gps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
If as you said earlier you flashed via CWM you would not have replaced the very first logo screen :confused: It should still show the cubot logo. The boot animation would be changed to THL though.

So if this is what you are talking about you can try change the bootlogo.zip in sytstem/media/ and the boot.logo in system/media/images :good:

Just use a root explorer and copy the above from a backup you have to the system/media folder and system/media/images folder. Remember to also set the permissions as they are presently rw-r--r-- Close down pull the battery reinsert and reboot :fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
Yes, is the very first logo.I don't have bootlogo.zip and in system/media/ is boot_logo not boot.logo...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
So you must of flashed that using SP flashtool correct :confused:

If I understand you then you require the stock logo.bin to reflash via SP Flashtool? the area where this lives is not flashable via CWM correct :confused:

If so I will upload it for you. :good: Although it's pretty awful :laugh: see attachment :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] androidia:
The Rom zip file has a logo bin with it. I left in there because I like it. The quickest way is to replace the logo bin in the Rom zip. Don't extract the Rom zip just drop the new logo bin in and it should repack it automatically then reflash the Rom. ..hope that help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Hi [MENTION=3931603]androidia[/MENTION] WOW so he did flash logo.bin via CWM :rolleyes:

I have not downloaded the new ROM because I am working on my own port just now. :o

Could you show the updater.script line that handled the logo.bin flash so I can look and see how this is addressed eg: logo.bin \/dev\/block\/ ("log.bin") or something like that :eek: I would like to add it to my edify_defs in Kitchen :D

:cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
Thank you for logo.bin !I created a zip file that you can flash it via cwm. :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Nice :good:

Apologies I was wrong :o I should've said not normally flashed via CWM in most Rom zips that I have flashed anyway. :rolleyes: I also did not have androidia's rom to look at so I stand corrected. :laugh:

Apologies once again for getting too far in front of myself :highfive:

I have my phone for one week now, but the screen randomly blacks out :(

Phone isn't off, because I can unlock by swipen over the screen.

But it's useless this way.

Only thing I can do is push the on/off butto for +/- 10 seconds to reboot or replace the battery.

What could be the problem?

Is it possible to fix this by flashing another rom or is it probably a hardware problem?

I already informed focalprice about is, but no response yet.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pl@cebo:
No, it just says : installation aborted.

I choose zip file, phone starts: --Install /sdcard ... and then Installation aborted.

The zip file is on phone storage, should it be on external sd card?

Thanks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] khrisstyan:
It's ok on phone storage.

This is how it worked to me the install from the stock rom to a costum one:

1.Rooted the device

2.Installed cwm

3.Installed the costum rom via cwm

That's all..

Try with another rom see if it works..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pl@cebo:
Can you please explain a little more detailed...I am new at this....can I root it with Kingo Android Root?

How do I install cwm? Through google play?

How do I "enter" in cwm, same as before? Volume up plus power button?

Thanks a lott!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maximus1a:

I already turned it off yesterday because I got insane of the changing brightness, and since then it only happened once instead of every 10 minutes!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fennec91:
If you have a Turbo model, you can use E-ROOT or FRAMAROOT.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pl@cebo:
No, its a regular cubot one...

I will try some more...and than give up :(

Or, maybe I will have more luck with Androida`s next ROM...
