hi sambaaa happy new year!

Have you seen this;

Camera Flash Fix

Many owners of mobile phones with processors Mediatek have noticed poor performance of the camera flash. Below you will find a very easy way to fix the problem. 'll need:

rooted Mobile

a root explorer

Follow the steps below.

open the root explorer and navigate to your / system

there you will find the file build.prop

the copy on your computer

open it with notepad + +

at the end of the file add the following

ro.media.capture.flash=led

ro.media.capture.flashMinV=3300000

ro.media.capture.torchIntensity=65

ro.media.capture.flashIntensity=70

rename the old file to your mobile phone (no kidding ... MAKE)

drag the file you just changed the mobile course in the same folder as before

modify the permissions to rw - r - r

restart your mobile

Enjoy powerful flash to your photos. Updated Date added and torch tweak

I tried it and saw significant improvement.

failed boot

i am already update from 1.3 until 1.5 and success, but when install to 2.0 with same procedure, i ahve big problem, i dont know after installation progress finish its back to recovery mode. and after reboot it failed to load, still on iocean x7 first screen and cannot load. please help.. what should i do, i cannot use my phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Schumi_wk:
Great result!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
It can happen after repartitionig, reboot into recovery, wipe /data and install rom again. It should work.

I'm not using GravityBox for that, the one in the pic is gamma default colour. Try to disable GravityBox statusbar colours and flash zip again.

I've tried on mine, but I don't have such an issue. Does it keep happening even if you change wallpaper?

Hi, did you notice an improvement with respect to stock or gamma? Because those tweaks are already used in my rom since v1.0. I use slightly higher values, but shouldn't make any difference

Do the following:

-remove battery

-put battery in again

-connect phone to pc

-keep power + volume up pushed until you enter recovery

-flash rom again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] natkingcole:
Samba, well I tried many Roms and I always went back to the stock Rom, because there were issues. Now I can say that gammarom will be my daily driver. Even after restoring my apps and settings everything is much smoother than ever. I Don't use a task killer anymore. Totally satisfied. Even the camera works with no issue. Your Rom detects my 13mp camera and 5MP front camera. Thank you!

PS.: it's not much, but I hope it's enough for a beer. :)

Edit: did you add some energy saving tweaks? Because I feel like having more battery, lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] diederikmo:
Still no luck, but it isn't the end of the world, thnx for the nice Rom !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
not perfect but there is a visible difference.the flash of my old mobile phone desireHD is much better and can illuminate distant scenes. So i think that's wrong and the construction of the flash on iocean devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tharonny:
As I did not use the "keep data" functionality before, I wondered that if I update GammaRom 1.4 trough OTA to GammaRom 2.0 will I automaticly keep my data/apps or do I have to choose for that option somewere? Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
whats new in elite's new base ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Thank you very much for your beer, that will be useful tonight :D

Do you have an x7 youth? In case you do, 5 and 13MPX are interpolated resolutions, real sensors are 8MPX and 2MPX (or 3, I don't remember...).

Yes, I added some battery tweaks, they should help a bit, but no miracles :o What can help a lot is battery calibration desribed in post #2, together with Greenify and Wakelock Detector to check if something is going wrong. These 3 things + battery tweaks should all together grant a good battery life :good:

Mmh...that's strange, there are 2 possible reasons: zip didn't extract properly or some xposed module is overwriting those values.

For the first, check through a file manager with root permissions SystemUI.apk modification time; if it's a recent date, then zip extracted fine.

For the second, disable all xposed modules (I guess you already tried this).

v1.4>v1.5 is the only update that can be done incremental (no wipes). All the others automagically perform a full wipe each time you upgrade, so no way to upgrade without losing your datas :)

Pretty much nothing! With respect to GammaRom v1.5 the main difference is that green cam issues has been fixed (that's the only reason why I changed stock base). They added new languages too, but not as many as v1.5. There's a new baseband, but I already included that in v1.5, without noticing any real difference.

What really differs from v1.5 to v2.0 is that I slightly differently tweaked the rom, so it behaves better IMHO.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tharonny:
I see, Thanks for the information. Ill try this weekend.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gusthy:
I installed 2.0, and now it doesn't want to download EPO file. Anyone else who can test it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jimmys01:
For me (i have the elite) the v2 was a big big improvement in speed... Dont get me wrong it was fast before. Now the transitions mainly are even smoother and it seems faster as well..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
i tryed v2 but i have big problem now.. i always use void.fstab swap trick to use 32gb space as a sdcard and external microsd as a internal space..but now in V2 when i try to restore all apps via titanium backup and move again to sdcard(32gb area) after reset apps is gone not installed error.. this not happened on v1.5...i didnt have green cam issue at all.. so i forced to back v1.5.. so getting init.d scripts and build.prop from v2 will do the job for me..

Pretty much nothing! With respect to GammaRom v1.5 the main difference is that green cam issues has been fixed (that's the only reason why I changed stock base). They added new languages too, but not as many as v1.5. There's a new baseband, but I already included that in v1.5, without noticing any real difference.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kyleongwl:
I had tried to re-flash rom but still the same.

perhaps it with xperia launcher?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spikywits:
I'm coming from a rebranded iocean x7 youth turbo model - Wammy Passion Z+ and this ROM works great on it. Noticable boost and navigation is without any lag unlike the rom that comes with stock. Infact the manufacturer themselves have put on a rooted custom rom in it with kitkat ui and build prop tweaks which did have some problems like 8mb rear camera and ocassional lag in its ui. Please keep the updates coming and thanks for the best ROM for the model :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
It can happen sometimes, it depends on mtk servers. If you try again today it should work.

I agree with you, 2.0 is much better than 1.5, but stock base didn't make much difference in this ;) I actually find that a few things got worse with latest stock. For example stock Browser often gives message "Browser not responding" even if it works fine which is quite annoying :rolleyes: That's why I included Dolphin

Yeah, that will do 70% of the job! v1.5 and v2.0 have different settings in framework too, but you need a pc for that. Anyways if you have an Elite, that will be fine anyways ;)

Wait, are you talking about black statusbar? That's black by default, not transparent as in screenshots; you can put it transparent through gravitybox>transparency management :good:

Nice to hear it worked for your phone :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
u mean status bar module for xposed? i dont use that no problem.. but something new in initd scripts conflict with 1.5, can u give me flashable zip for v2 tweaks for v1.5 ? Stock browser is problem on every stock base so if u can change stock browser to chrome(default) it will be better..also please include mobileuncletools and rootexplorer to app list..

Kitkat

Hey, thanks for the great rom :good:. I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but this might interest you: http://gadgetsacademy.com/wickedleak-wammy-passion-z-plus-4-4-update/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] voetbalremco:
It appears to be fake, according to someone who owns the Wickedleak version of the iOcean X7 plus, the manufactor found the android experience launcher and some other 4.4 looks enough to call it Android KitKat.

But in fact, its just a look-a-like of KitKat on 4.2.1. :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spikywits:
That was none other than me :D. This is one another such news posted to boost up their sales. It is nothing but a trap when we are yet to see 4.3 for MT chipsets kitkat will just be a dream for us.

http://www.gogi.in/rumor-android-kitkat-micromax.html

The worst part is these so called news sites supporting these scams and when I posted something against them it gets deleted.

Beware of MT kitkats ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] geraldhan:
keep up the good work

Hi,

i just flashed your rom on my Iocean x7 youth turbo and it looks great. Thanks so much and keep up the good work.:good:

i donated some money to you by the way. Its not much but maybe enough to get you a drink!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Since I've been asked by many users how to set status bar to transparent, I'm uploading here a screenshot of my GravityBox settings (GravityBox > Trasparency management). They work good, at least with Nova launcher.

Don't worry, they won't conflict as long as you delete old files and replace them with new ones setting proper permissions:

root:root 777 for init.d scripts

root:root 644 for build.prop

For build.prop don't simply substitute it, but replace gamma v1.5 additions lines with v2.0 ones.

Anyways IMHO if you reinstall v2.0, your issues should disappear.

For what concerns apps:

Stock browser was not that bad in previows stocks, very little functions, but quite smooth. It got worse with latest stock.

I've tried Chrome many times, but it always behaved bad, almost unusable on my youth. It probably behaves better on elite, but I find it too heavy for our cheap x7.

Root explorer is a fast file manager, I like it too, but it gives issues sometimes (free version at least).

I don't like Mobileuncle, it occupies ram for nothing (it runs in background all the time if you check), but has just a few useful features.

In CM for MTK devices thread has been recently posted that Omni developers managed to boot Kitkat on Oppo r819 (mtk6589). It doesn't mean kitkat for x7, but it's anyways a first step! :)

Thank you really much for your drink! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] prahasta:
Sambaa, this always happen on me. Everytime playstore updated app, i cant make phone call, call disvonnected when application update popup appears on status bar.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
hi guys,

I installed the gammarom 2.

I didn't see a lot of difference beetween 1.5 and 2.0. No mistake, this means that the UI still remains smooth and stable.

Good work Sambaaa, thanks for that.

What do you plan for next release, since the current rom seems to be very comprehensive ?

Rgds.

PS: I am pleased to buy you another drink !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Only on Gamma or it's something rom independent? In the meanwhile disable apps automatic updates in playstore settings if you haven't already.

Thank you for your continued support, I'm pleased for it :)

For what concerns next release, my main concern is always to improve rom settings and tweaks to enhance user experience. Right now I'm testing a different config which I find great and may be the base of next release if I manage to fix some issues I had.

Except this, I improved included scripts and added one for those who keep preferring stock rom behaviour. This script will let user disable and enable again Gamma tweaks so that those users can take advantage from gamma features above an untweaked clean stock base.

Another thing I'd be proud to solve would be NVRAM Warning 0x04 that appears in any Iocean stock when you analyze wifi networks through apps like Wifi analyzer. It can be solved, but it's not easy to make a fix which is working "out-of-the-box" without the user to do anything and especially without bugs (Bluetooth in particular). I recently had an idea on how to do it and it seems working fine so far, so that may be solved in next gamma. This may enhance wifi signal stability too, but I've no proof about this statement (may also be uneffective).

This said, I wouldn't know what else to do with this stock rom... ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] prahasta:
I didnt try another custom rom.

Yup, right npw i disabled auto update in playstore.. hope you fix it in the next build
[Miscellaneous Android Development] madman_cro:
hi i have iocean x7 turbo with 4 gb rom . do i need to repartition or can i just install this rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
sambaaa Thank you for your excellent work.

another must-see in the next update is not to lock the sim card each time upgrade, need to do restore imei.

this is done only with gamma Rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsam:
Best rom for mtk ever....

Hey Samba i saw your post the mods and tweaks you included in this rom are simply amazing.I saw hard work done on this rom unlike any other rom available for mtk.Unfortunately i dont have iocean x7 so i tried porting it unlike other roms it didn't booted on my mtk6589 phone is there any way i can port it.I am realy impressed with your work.I never saw this type of rom on any other mtk.

:good: up For Sambaa
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Did it happen in stock?

No, repartitioning is optional ;)

Do you lose IMEI each time you upgrade? Have you ever used Flashtool's Format option (NEVER use it)? Because if you lose your imei at each upgrade it means that your phone already has issues, I think you would lose imei each time you wipe /data (many custom roms do not automatically wipe /data, gamma does).

Hi and thank you for the huge 'up'! :D What's your device name? Can you link me your device stock rom (possibly from a fast hosting site)? I can make a new gamma version based on your stock rom instead of iocean x7 if you want. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
not remember if pressing format on flash tools,but understand after what you said that my phone has the problem.

There are other problems that has created me;

Do you know any way to correct it;
[Miscellaneous Android Development] prahasta:
From the first time i bought this phones, only gravity and gamma... lol

Samba, i just feel in this built, charging is little bit longer than 1.5 version. Does it possible to put fast charging tweak on gamma? It will be very pleasing if so
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsam:
Thank's for your reply and offer.My device is Noir A500 also known as Walton primo g3,gionee ctrl v4 and polytron w7451.

Here is stock Rom.

Odexed in form of backup

Deodexed CWM flashable

http://www.incpak.com/tech/qmobile-noir-a500-stock-rom/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
It depends on what caused this. If you used flashtool's format upgrade, I've heard in the past of other users who accidentally formatted phone this way, but none of them was able to solve. They need to restore imei again each time they wipe data. Any idea when all this began?

Nothing I did may have influence charging speed, in case you notice a difference, it most likely depends on stock rom base. What kinda tweak do you mean? This kinda mods are usually related to kernel configuration, but iocean did not release kernel sources...

Good, I took this odexed Walton Primo G3 Stock Rom, hope it's compatible with your phone too. These roms are a bit different from x7 stock and with plenty of device specific bloatware which I partially deleted, but I can't be sure of what can be safely removed and what cannot. Considering the whole thing, this rom may produce bootloop so take a nandroid backup before (and backup your imeis). In case it doesn't work, there's not much I can do to fix it with no device.

PS don't use repartitioning feature for now... I left it available x7 elite default options (up to 7GB), but I don't know your device features so that may definetely misbehave.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] da_fix:
Hi I installed your rom on my Elite Version and it's just amzing :D !

However i don't have the pictures in google now meteo :(

great work and thanks a lot !!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Right now it's not really useful, but I'm planning to add a few feature that will require it. For example I prepared a script (not yet included in v1.0) that quickly turns off and on hardware keys lights typing "lights on" or "lights off" in terminal emulator without the need of editing build.prop (of course this script works only for Youth, hardware backlight seems to be missing on other Iocean models). That's just an example of a not very important feature (it could be done through GravityBox too), but I'll try to work on something better. Anyways you can uninstall it if you want and install it back only in case of need. :D

Yes, I think I'll implement it in the future, as I described better in another thread I could release the whole rom in only one version for all Iocean which lets you select your model and so on. Need to be sure that v1.0 is working fine for everybody before proceeding :highfive:

Ok, download this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sightidea.locale&hl=it

It will give you all three languages you asked ;) Unfortunately you'll be able to set for example Czech as default language, but only apps with a Czech translation will appear in Czech (untranslated will remain in english). System apps as Settings should be manually translated for each missing language but it can be done only by someone who knows that language (and is an extremely long and boring work). Anyways, except a few system apps, that app will work really good :good:

Never used google now so not really sure about it, did you have them in stock rom? In case you did, try to flash the attached zip which adds two weather related system apps which I deleted. Don't think they're related to google now, but better to try it. Otherwise you could flash these gapps, but I don't particularly recommend you to do it. Too many gapps installed may produce an increased number of wakelocks (bigger battery drain). Actually google now too is not particularly battery friendly :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fjndias:
OK cool , I was just wondering , is not bothering me so will keep it .:)

Are you thinking to have your own updater ? So we can update our ROM without flashing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Well, don't know yet. I'm not a big fan of OTA for custom roms... I'd prefer to have a more direct contact with users of my rom, but I'll think about it :rolleyes: Anyways I'll try as much as possibile to release updates that can be flashed above this rom without any wipe so that you won't lose your data ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] prahasta:
Yup. I rather to choose maanual update than OTA.

Little suggestion from me is including aroma installer and also, for minor change. Just provide flashabe update zip than whole ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d-ball:
Hello, im been using this Rom for a day and im having a few problems, i would like to ask you if you could fix it... The first, is that the Rom looks great, in Antutu i scored 12200 points, much better than before, that i had like 10000, but im having problems with apps like Adaway (to remove the Adds of the aplications) because it just turn off by itself, i mean, i install the AdAway, check for updates, activate it,... But when i turn off the phone and turn it on again, AdAway is Off again, so i have to set it up again... And another problem that im having is with Tap Tap App, is an App that allows to unlock the phone just tapping on the light sensor, but with this Rom it doesnt work at all, the sensor is like turning on and off all the time, and it should be just On, i dont know if you understand it... :S

If you could fix those problems, it would be great.

Thanks you so much for your work!

PD: Sorry for my english XD Im spanish
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Hi! Antutu on an Iocean youth (non turbo) can reach even higher scores (12899 in a pic I posted before), but that doesn't really matter.

Anyways do not use any Ad blocking app on this rom, it already has an integrated ad blocking service which works without the need of extra apps. Having AdAway installed will create conflicts, you should already get all AdAway features by default in this rom (and maybe more) without any additional ram consumption which a running in background app would produce.

Another recommendation I can give to you and anybody else who's using this rom is to not use any task killer of any kind with this rom: no advanced task manager, no advanced task killer, no clean master, ... All these apps will only consume ram and create conflicts with optimization scripts that already handle background app management by default in this rom. Task killer may only produce lags on this rom IMO. This kinda app is one of the main reason of lags and issues, at least on rom like this.

I would even recommend to not use any antivirus app, but many users prefer to have one.

For what concerns Tap Tap app, I didn't know that before, but I just tried it on my phone running GammaRom... well I took 1 minute to unlock the screen, but it finally worked :eek: don't know whether it's supposed to work more easily than this, but after a bit of practice I finally managed to unlock the screen (activating vibration feedback helps in understanding how exactly it wants to be touched). I need around 1 minute each time I want to unlock it though, I'd need to try to do the same on latest elite stock 0722 to see how it works there, Have you tried it on latest 0722 (or 0723) stock?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d-ball:
Thanks you for reply so fast! I didnt know about the Ad Blocker integrated app, i uninstalled AdAway and right, there are no ads now XD About Tap Tap App, yes, i used it with all the Stock and Custom Roms that i had, and it works with all of them :S Its very weird, im going to reinstall the Rom and try it all again, i hope it works then because i like the Rom a lot, its very Smooth and fast, even watching a video and browsing web at the same time, and the phone still smooth.

Thanks you!

Thanks for rom guy but as in all roms, i Get wifi problems when i get 2 bars to the icon wifi. When i Get 2 bars of less, my wifi is ultra very low and unusbale :( I thnik it's hardwere. When IO got 3 or 4 bars, wifi get perfectly..

After 2 days of usage I have two possible bugs. First one.. viper4android seems to doesn't work. I mean that I see no changes at all after applying irs samples or changing eq. Sound is still the same.

Another one is video recording. Why we I can't achieve 30fps on my recordings? For both, 720p and 1080p I have only 16,666 fps. I've seen recording from iocean x7 on older stock roms and it had 30 fps.
