interesting virus....Anyway since our camera app in iocean x7 is not very good and has FLASH led synch problem.. (when flash on the pictures always darky) is there any way to use vondroid.com(zopo c2 custom rom) camera app...I tryed on zopo c2 and FLASH really works well...also can we do anything to change flash led power to something higher to get more bright pictures in dark shots? also official 07 dated iocean rom has big problems with stock browser app very very laggy and sometimes system freezed randomly! this happening random when typing fast or scrolling a web page zoom in/out...

Sambaa will you replace your touchscreen?

I will be replacing mine, I'll let you know how it goes/if it is diffcult if you want. I looks very easy though

Then I will have to decide between the X7 or HTC One X :crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
That issue of stock 0925 was too serious to leave download links available, I need to be sure that hllservice is the real guilty before releasing again. You can enjoy your 7GB repartition in the meanwhile ;)

It depends on your phone operator; I got h3g and I can check everything in details through an app from playstore. You should have something similar for your operator too in your country.

I've heard of that sync problem in Elite's threads in my country. I kinda remeber that somebody posted a sort of tweak which improved flash LED sync, but I cannot remeber what was it about. I got youth, on mine flash LED light is really weak, but sync seems fine.

Gamma v1.2 has a few build.prop entries which should increase flash LED strength, but that may be just a placebo. I put them in, but they may be uneffective (someone says they work, someone they don't do anything).

I'm quite afraid that led itself is not bright enough and night shots would always suck, but anyways yes it would be possible to port vondroid rom to x7, that should be quite easy. Don't know about porting an app alone from that rom to this, that may not be that easy, I'd need to work on it to see.

Have you tried Gamma v1.0? Of course this phone cannot be as smooth as a GS4, but I'm trying to take the max out of it.

Well, don't really think I'll replace it until it keeps working. I got a quite visible crap in the center of the screen of around 10cm, but replacing screen is really expensive. I don't have enough money to spend right now, I think I'll keep it as it is until it works. :)

Let me know how it goes, it may be useful for the future!

Yes very weak led light...also other camera apps more good than stock one...i installed gamma v1.0 still testing.. super camera app looks good more bright pictures but app permissions very interesting did you look that ? also there is a bug in Xperia launcher when apps moved to sdcard its not seen on xperia launcher...(im using vold.fstab trick to use 32gb rom as a sdcard..ext sdcard need to be inserted) also when try to check adblock scripts in terminal emulator i got not found error...hosts file really big 6mb that can result slowdown... here is some init.d scripts grabbed from other rom maybe you can check and add to gamma rom..http://www.4shared.com/zip/KkjvX9AF/initd-scripts.html?

Sambaa, i have issues related with drop down toolbar. In last few days i usually used gps but always failed when touch from drop down tools bar either on setting and working again when reboot.

I think, this problems has been discuss in last pages but do you have the answers of this?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
It's probably related to gravitybox.

Sambaa I have checked my bills and no weird sms's has been sent from my phone so far so I guess its working fine , I installed the patch but I checked every single message sent from my phone since i installed it and they all to UK numbers . :)

Anyway I'm really enjoying this ROM finally I hot a 'normal' phone :P

I would love to pay you a coffee but the link in the first page its nor working , can you post a link where I can pay you a coffee ? :thumbup: :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nggies:
No, it doesn't related. I've tried to remove it but still remain.. btw im on elite.

And now I can't use GPS through drop down toolbar and on settings.. sad but I love your rom. Hope you can find the problems and prudence the patch. Thank you for your hard work.

sms

hi,

i can confirm this strange incident. My device has sent several sms. I installed the zip provided by samba. Actually there wasn't sent any sms.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Supercamera is a ported lenovo stock camera so it comes from a quite reliable manufacturer, which strange permissions did you notice?

Yeah that Xperia launcher doesn't support apps linked 2 sd, that's one of the reason why I switched to Apex in v1.2. Anyways linking apps to sd is no longer needed once you repartition through gamma v1.2 repartition tool.

Adblock switcher script is a v1.2 feature, didn't exist in previows versions (not even resolution changer and so on).

Yeah Mother of all adblocking is a huge adblocking service, v1.0 embedded version was 6MB, latest version (included in v1.2) is 12MB!

Adblocking default in v1.2 is AdAway which is around 0.7MB, but you can change adblocking through terminal emulator and enable full adblocking (12MB hosts file).

Sure a big hosts file may occupy a bit of ram and slightly slow down web browsing, but less ads means also less data to manage which means faster browsing. I would say that browsing speed wouldn't be particularly affected by a big hosts file, but anyways v1.2 default is a smaller one and I gave users the possibility to switch between them according to their needs.

For what concerns init.d scripts, I need to give it a look. I tested really many configurations before choosing the "SuperCharger way". Supercharger scripts are really wide and already covers most part of what any other script does, so adding an additional script most of the times would just create conflicts/clutter. I'll give a look especially to mtk* scripts; maybe they have something different inside.

Thank you for these suggestions ;)

I think I managed to fix that, let me test it for a few days so that I can be sure ;)

I'm really sorry for that, hope that zip solved it at least...

It seems that it happens randomnly, I used this 0925 for weeks, but got my first sms a few days ago. I put this strange behaviour of hll apps under the attention of Iocean and they told me to delete them until I get a reply from their engineers. I finally decided to base v1.3 on 0722 rom, I perceive it as smoother and safer.

Anyways... Of course any kind of coffee/beer/wine or whatever is highly appreciated and will of course help :)

Doesn't this button work ?

Otherwise this link should work:

Yeah..lenovo one has too many perms directly send sms directly call read contacts,sms,accounts..etc which is not required for a cam app..im using next 3d launcher little bit slow but looks cool...i dont really want repartition..yes too many scripts some of them same tweaks..i added touchscreen,cleaner,netspeed..etc. because i noticed touch screen sens is not good, i was on samsung rom from jlrom and touch is better..i also updated touch screen software before iocean gived to me..can u add samsung dialer and sms app? stock ones really sucks...i also saw many google services started...lenovo cam app also stays in background always..you using noop io scheduler is it better than cfq?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
I think that all these permissions are somehow connected to Supergallery more than supercamera itself. Probably somehow linked with Weibo implementation in Supergallery app (that's a sort of Chinese twitter). I put that app because I find it the best camera app for our phone, especially for videos. Anyways that's an option in Aroma installer so people can choose; otherwise light installation type deletes that and many other apps for those who like a really clean rom.

For what concerns init.d scripts, it's not so easy; for example touchscreen script is useless for our phone since it modifies files that don't even exist. Cleaner basically does something very similar to what Flush o Matic already does, but anyways that won't hurt. I'd need to read them and test one by one before adding. If I remember it right Samsung jlrom has something like 34 init.d scripts and many of them actually do the same things conflicting with each other. I used that rom for a few days in the past until I woke up one day with my phone which performed a factory data reset during night (still cannot understand how it could happen...). That's why I prefer to add only mods that I was able to test and of which I'm pretty confident of their positive effect. It requires time though, but of course it's something that can always be improved and thank you for your suggestions for this ;)

Touchscreen calibration and sensibility was the same as stock rom in gamma v1.0, but I improved it in v1.2. I'll try to keep part of these tweaks in v1.3 too, but not all of them because I find that they can slightly decrease performances.

Can't remember how Samsung dialer and sms app where, but I'll give it a look. :)

I'm already considering including an app which will let user choose which apps are allowed to run at boot and which ones are not. Maybe as optional in aroma.

For what concerns schedulers, that's kickasskernelizer default. AFAIK it should be a quite battery friendly scheduler and very good for flash drives, but I can change it in the future. Did you perceive an improvement with cfq?

PS take a look here:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] voetbalremco:
NOOP scheduler may be good, but not based on that topic.

Its quoted from WikiPedia and for the very first android phone: the G1.

I would say this is a bit outdated and using Android's default scheduler(deadline) performs just fine, but thats my opinion.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
Supergallery different app yea maybe..yes i grabbed from samsung jlrom already..Yes many same tweaks useless...but jlrom touch better than stock iocean...i added proximity sensor tweaks for avoid black screen in a call...u can get samsung dialer from jlrom :) i added Boot manager module feom xposed framework also trying Xprivacy maybe u can add that default..i cant really say about cfq is better or not but used before..i saw 16883 antutu score on lists and wonder how it be because my max 15380..i know antutu not make sense but very good score 16k..maybe you can add power control app to change governors if needed...if some custom kernels will out that will cure many things :) i hope iocean release 4.3 soon...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Well yes, that's an old thread, but I linked that because is the one provided inside kickasskernelizer readme file. It starts with a Wikipedia quote, but proceeds with I/O benchmarks quickly comparing speeds.

I trust zeppelinrox choices pretty much and I always think more than twice before changing his default settings. Anyways I'll give it a try, noop should be able to grant a slightly better battery life, deadline slightly better performances.

Supergallery and supercamera are the same apk. Gamma v1.2 is now not available for download, but its touch response is better than stock if you try it ;)

Boot manager is exactly the app I meant, that will probably be added by default. I'd prefer to reduce the number of apps as much as possible since, especially xposed modules, can slow down system (that's just my personal experience, not an absolute truth).

I don't know which are standard scores of Elite's version in antutu, but 16900 seems too much to me. Antutu score can be cheated in many different ways. For example lowering risolution with risolution changer script :) otherwise there are many tweaks that are not good for phone usage, but perfect for antutu. That scores seems too much to me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
Anyway supergallery also doesnt need directly call numbers or send sms :) i didnt try 1.2...Yes it can be tested with low res of course My max on default 15430 on antutu...what about many google services started on boot ? (exept network location)

hi

after flashing this rom can not make or receive phone calls.

can you help me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SnEAkyy:
I wish I've read this thread before updating my rom :( I'm fully through my data bundle, costing me up to 60€ so far. Over 250 text msgs are sent..... And the month is not yet over for other phonecalls etc.

Hopefully my provider will be kind enough not to charge me.... But I doubt it.

*btw, the OTAU app, didn't promped for any updates. Is this intended behaviour?

Please I need help, updating the room, after formating caches and making the factory reset, I pushed Install zip by sideload (By f***ing mistake...), then CWMR got stuck and then I reset the phone, now I have a bootloop and can't go to the recovery... Never happened to me before and I'm quite experienced in installing roms and stuff... Please help :( :crying:

EDIT: Got stuck in the aroma installer while I disabled the stock calendar option... I'll need to reflash everything again...

same questions as before sambaa, any mirror? tq
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
Hello Sambaaa,

I just flash the 1.3. Everything seems to work fine except the quick setting switchers... Actually, the behaviour is the same as 1.2. Randomly, some switchers work, and some don't. After a reboot, some others work, and some don't. it is not only connection related switchers, but also screen always on switcher, wifi tethering, as well as ring profile, etc...

Sometimes, when a quick settings switcher doesn't work, let's say GPS, then the settings menu GPS switcher doesn't work neither.

Any suggestion ?

Rgds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nggies:
It happened on me too..but in v.1.2

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Thank you very much! :) That's exactly what I'd need

right now :D

Cannot you enter recovery this way:

-remove battery

-put battery in

-connect phone to pc

-keep pushed power+volume up

-wait until you enter recovery

This should definitely work unless you (don't know how) damaged recovery partition. Do you get a bootloop at first boot logo or at Android bootanimation? Can you still adb somehow?

EDIT: just now noticed the "edited" part of your post (I'm a bit tired....). Sometimes aroma can hang, it happens. I don't think is due to Calendar itself, but something that can happen sometimes.

Mmmh right now no, it'll require a couple of hours ;)

Bad to hear that, it seemed solved on my phone since nothing hangs no matter how many times I switch. I'll send you an experimental patch through pm since I cannot reproduce your issues ;)

In v1.2 it was a known bug, but in v1.3 it was meant to be solved...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] slimm2:

So, I reinstalled the 1.3 again, and checked the quick setting switchers before restoring my apps and datas. The switchers worked well.

Then, I remembered that I had FC within Widgetsoid app with the 1.2 rom.

So I restore all my apps except widgetsoid, and the switchers still work well.

So perhaps are there some conflicts between this rom and widgetsoid (which is a higly customizable switcher widget)....

Anyway, widgetsoid is not very necessary for me now, since gravitybox allows to customize the quick setting switchers.

I'll test more deeply next few days but I can say for now that everything works well,, in a smooth and reactive way.

Great job Sambaaa !

Thank you very much.

Hi Sambaaa,

Sorry to trouble, but after I flashed to V 1.3 I m now stuck on my Iocean X7 elite Boot Screen

would you know what is casuing this ? alo I have repartioned my internal SD to 7 gig

Thanks & regards

[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
Hello,

It happened to me. Just have to reboot to recovery and flash again. Do you use CWM ?

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Hi Sambaaa,

Actually, beyond the connection switchers, I miss some functionnalities of widgetsoid (ram, int SD, and ext SD free space indicators).

Then I've reinstalled widgetsoid again, (but not from my titanium backup, I ve done a fresh installation).

After reboot, everything seems to be OK. Don't know if widgetsoid was really the cause of my issue...

I'll let you know.

Rgds.

Hi,

full wipe for 1.3 is obligatory? I am actually on 1.2 version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
Hi,

IMO, full wipe is mandatory.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jaw2floor:
what are the kernal tweaks?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Before releasing I really tested it hard, because hanging switchers would be a quite stupid, but really annoying issue. I tried to make then hang almost anyhow (switching 'em all on off together continuously, ...), but never hanged on my phone with v1.3. Hope it keeps working for you!

Actually the answer is: you are allowed to not wipe /data, /cache and dalvik before flashing, so in a certain sense no, it's not mandatory for you. At the same time it's not possible to upgrade without formatting /data partition because I put /data partition format embedded inside installer. Basically, whatever you do, /data partition will be formatted, but I suggest you to format it before flashing, just to be sure. ;)

Once implemented aroma installer it would really easy to let people choose what to format and what not, but right now I'd still prefer to format everything coming from previows rom so that I can be sure that any reported issue directly comes from gamma v1.3 and not from previowsly installed MIUI or whatever... I'll give users the possibility to choose what to format when gamma will be completely bugfree (will it ever be? :silly: )!

If I told you, I'd have to kill you :D

Just kidding :) In gamma v1.2 I temporarily dropped out zeppelinrox kernel tweaks, because they were causing me issues. In v1.3 they're again in.

Repartitoning

Wow, I've been coming to XDA for 4 years and I'm just now making my first comment :o

I've been playing around with the repartitoning. The first two times I repartitoned from 1.5 to 7, then 1.5 to 2.5. Both times the internal storage showed the appropriate increased values but the phone storage still showed the full amount (26+) was available, which I thought was odd. After rebooting, the phone storage disappeared and showed as if it was unmounted. When connecting with USB, windows wanted to reformat the storage. Both times I corrected this by repartitoning to 1.5.

When I installed 1.3, I repartitoned to 7 and had the same issue. This time I changed things up a bit. I reinstalled but this time repartitioning to 2.5 instead of knocking it down to 1.5. That worked. and I now have the larger 2.5 and the expected 25.56 phone storage.

I'm might repartition again from 2.5 to 7 just to see if I can get it to work that way.

I did notice that I didn't get the "Encryption unsuccessful" message when I went for 1.5 to 2.5 or from 1.5 to 7, but I did receive the message both times when I went back down to 1.5 and on the last repartion from 7 to 2.5.

Just curious to know if I was doing something wrong or if anyone else saw this same behavior. (Using CWM and I did wipe data, cache and dalvik cache prior to all installs and repartitoning).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brianforever:
Thanks Ebola & Zen Green for the feedback....As what I did...to recover , was to also repartition...but with Good Success with 2.7 Gb on my Elite...So everything seems good ,,,as now my internal SD allows my USB to be mounted Finally & no more freezing at the Iocean X7 Boot screen :)

@ Ebola ..YES !! Also using CWM and I did wipe data, cache and dalvik cache prior to all installs and repartitoning..we are on the same Boat with That same also with Zen Green perhaps

So looking forward to how I can try again to repartion to 7 gig :) or I m happy with staying at 2.7 unless my spaces runs out again for the apps :)

Thanks Sambaaa Great Rom ..the best i have tried for the X7 Elite ..KUDOS to U :)

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

Also to add ..when I repartitioned to 2.7 from 7 GIG..I had a whole suite of Premium Apps..like Sony Walkman, Super Camera, MX Player, Albums app & other Apps...but now after fixing the Freeze screen with the new 2.7 Gig partition..I m now left with the normal Camera, And instead of Sony Walkman Its replaced with Apollo Player, apparently the MX Player is also missing :)

Any comments on this strange behavior Sambaaa ? :) Thanks Mucho :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
I repartitioned to 7 GB and had no phone storage anymore then i went back to recovery and then formatted data again in mount and storage and that did the trick. I now have 7 GB internal and 21GB phone storage maube it will work for you too
