I'm afraid it cannot be done simply switching some settings. Try to flash attached zip, but

take a nandroid backup first

since I prepared it very quickly and using files not coming from stock rom 0722 (may cause bootloop). I never use haptic feedback so I cannot be sure it'll make any difference, but give it a try ;)

PS of course an increased haptic feedback vibration may decrease battery life - use it with caution :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rafaelsartori:
i already read in this thread about this, but this time i could not find it, no matter what i do, the OTA always call me to update to 1.1 version (at first time it brings me i choose to do it and give all permission, it download the file, reboot, installed, reboot again and bing... "ota update available" again.

yes i can live without this update, just come to show you in case you find usefull.

* i used almost 5 versions of miuiV5, and 2 others roms (one i remember was lewa) and none of them makes me happy, i always come back to gamma. thnkas for your work. waiting for you next release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
hello,

regarding backlight, I did read a lot on several forum, but never be capable to activate the light. then I sent a email to iocean, asking them how I could activate the backlight.

Here is the answer from iocean (20th september) :

" Hi, the backlight has been canceled on hardware later, so can not be activated by SW.".

So unfortunately, it is a hw issue (at least for the latest device).

Regards.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] voetbalremco:
Yes if you bought it later on, it doesnt have any lights.

But the previous versions do have the lights, but are disabled in the latest firmware.

Using gravitybox > display tweaks > backlight behaviour > default

Makes the lights work again when touched.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Which Gamma version is shown in Settings>About phone ? v1.0 or v1.1? Anyways v1.2 is almost ready, I'm really tired of testing tons of different configurations (Gammarom folder on my pc is something like 40GB :eek: ), so I'll soon release it ;)

PS you can disable ota notifications launching OTA app > press menu key > disable notifications

This way you won'r be notified of v1.2 neither

Yes, hardware keys backlight can be activated on iocean x7 youth clocked @1.2GHz only. Any other iocean mounting mt6589t has no backlight at all from an hardware point of view.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
Hello Sambaa,

I do have an iocean youth @1,2Ghz, but no backlight for me. Is there a specific tweak you use to activate it (I already try some app on googleplay, as well as modify the persist.sys.keylight_switch=0 to 1 in the buildprop file...)...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rafaelsartori:
hi sambaaa, ive try to make those DIY antennas to make my gps work, but it still cant find a single satelite, can you teach us the steps to configure the software part?

i try to enable agps, disable it, enable epo, disable it... a lot of stuffs and nothing untill now.

btw sometimes epo download did not complete, goes to 25% and then drop.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Well then probably you have a more recent version of Youth mt6589. Editing build.prop as you did is all I need to do to enable hardare keys backlight. Has backlight ever worked with any stock rom? Have you ever tried 0520 or previows stock roms? You probably have a more recent youth and your problem is hardware not software.

In our italian forum one guy is in direct contact with Iocean factory and they gave him a guide (coming directly from Iocean) on how to improve GPS signal strength.

Follow instructions at the beginning of post #1:

http://www.androidiani.com/forum/io...odding-iocean-x7-antenna-gps.html#post4084651

It seems that using that conductive fiber would improve signal strength (I haven't tried it, GPS already works fine on my youth after hardware mod).

Moreover it seems that iocean released a new GPS antenna which should further improve signal. It should be this one, but we're not sure yet (that guy is waiting for a reply from iocean):

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...Elite-smart-phone-replacement/1391300492.html

I directly asked them informations through aliexpress and this is that store reply:

For what concerns software configuration, follow this guide (post #1):

http://www.androidiani.com/forum/io...an-x7-smartphone-con-mtk6589.html#post3864472

If you're using GammaRom, edit only first lines of build.prop for your country as I described in post#2 of this thread.

For what concerns EPO, sometimes it goes down and its download doesn't work. It depends on mediatek I think.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
By hardware mod you mean adding this copper antenna in trapezium shape? Did you also cut off this part of this antenna which stick to gnd pin and makes short circuit with singal pin?

And did you ask them about wifi antenna if it's also improved?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
I'll surely install and test this new rom tonight.

Is there a way to upgrade to 1.2, or do I have to install the ROM from scratch (and restore app/data using titanium) ?

Thanks !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Hi, in this case it's required a full wipe because rom is deeply different from v1.1 (it's even a different stock rom base). A few things inside of it may cause conflicts without full wipe, so it's necessary. Be careful because choosing repartitioning completely formats internal sdcard so you would lose even all data stored inside it (backups, images, music and so on).

PS Thank you very much :highfive:

EDIT:

OTA update should be working right now

, but it may stop working in the future. OTA app requires direct download links, but the only working website that I know which provides direct download links is Dropbox. Unfortunately I've a dropbox free account and hence limited bandwitch, so my Dropbox account will soon be suspended for high traffic.

If anyone of you knows a free hosting website which provides direct download links (no mega, no dev-hosts, ...) where I can upload gammarom, I can upload it there. I couldn't manage to get Google Drive direct download links working with big files as this (I tried with this guide with no results).

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
Repartitioning

What will change with partioning how much will be for internal storage en how much will be phone storage
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
I'm uploading it there, I'll give it a try :fingers-crossed:

To make it simple:

x=size_of_data_partition (partition where apps get installed and where most of their data get stored - this is the value that you select during aroma repartitioning > stock rom value is 1.5GB)

y=available_space_in_internal_sdcard (free space in your sdcard that you can actually use for your files, music, videos, ...)

z=space_not_usable_by_user (this can be considered a constant which may vary depending on your internal sdcard size - Iocean model)

internal_sdcard_size=4/16/32 GB depending on your iocean model

x+y+z=internal_sdcard_size

internal_sdcard_size it's a constant for each iocean model, z (space_not_usable_by_user) can be considered a constant, so equation becomes:

x+y=constant

You can hence solve for y:

y=constant - x

with x (size_of_data_partition) depending on boundary conditions (during aroma installer you can choose 1.5-2-5-2.7-7 GB depending on your iocean model) :p

What's the value of "constant"? On Youth it's around 2.7GB, on elite it may be something like 30GB or maybe less, on plus around 13GB (don't know exactly these values for other Iocean models because I don't exactly know "z value" for you).

Anyways more simply: stock /data partition size is 1.5GB, so , if you repartition to 2.5GB, available free space for music, files, videos, ... in your internal sdcard will decrease by 1GB with respect to 1.5GB partition.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
I read somewhere that repartitioning to 2.77 GB was problematic, what is your opinion on this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
On which model? On Youth I made 2.77GB repartition unavailable in Aroma installer, because it may cause bootloop since it requires a different procedure which I haven't yet implemented. I'll try to make it available in the future, but right now only 1.5 and 2.5GB repartition for Youth.

On other Ioceans don't think it may cause issues, I took necessary files from Elite's forums so they shouldn't create problems on Elite/Plus. Have you heard of issues on 16/32GB ROM models too?

General info for those who already repartitioned their Iocean and don't need to change partition size any more:

If you're already satisfied with your /data partition size, simply choose "Do Nothing" when prompted. Choosing "Do Nothing" instead of "Repartition", /data partition size won't be modified, no matter if it is 1.5GB, 2.5Gb, 2.7GB, ... it'll remain the same as before ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fjndias:
Im loving this Rom , finally the chrome browser works good , games are much smoother than before , no much or no lag at all on multitasking window when you are deleting the apps running on the background . Very good job Samba :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
Can't find where I read it sorry, not even sure it was over iOcean or other phone with same chipset
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
Hello,

So I just flash my phone to 1.2.

1st attempt : in aroma menu, I selected the 3rd installation option (personnalized), in order to select the installed apps. Unfortunately, the phone didn’t boot, freezing on the iocean logo screen (I did wait for more than 20mn…).

2nd attempt : in aroma menu, I selected the first installation option (recommended). The phone boot properly, and seems to work fine.

(I wiped data/cache/dalvik each attempt)

Here is some questions/feedback :

-	The gravitybox is not installed by defaut, have to install it manually through Xposed (It was installed by defaut in 1.0).

-	You said that wakelock detector is included, but I don’t have it. Is it normal ?

-	Does the Kitkat keyboard supports swype? Some forum says yes, but not on my phone...

-	The adblock configuration works fine! And the The light adblock configuration is a very good compromising. Great!

PS : you’re welcomed ! Your good work deserves it :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
No idea what went wrong, but definetely something did not work. If you don't have GravityBox, Wakelock detector, ... it means that /data partition has not been extracted at all. Settings > Viper4Android should FC too in this situation. What Iocean model do you have? Which recovery are you using? I recommend TWRP which is the one that has been tested for weeks by me.

Try to repeat installation process, choose Custom installation, it should be fine.

That KitKat keyboard included doesn't support swype, that's the first released coming from nexus 5, don't know whether there's a newer/different version which supports it.

If you keep having issues with Aroma installation, it would be useful if you could provide recovery log (option prompted at the end of installation wizard). It should show what's going on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
When repartitioning is it a good idea after the repartition to do full wipe ie factory reset AND format system?

Problem downloading ota update

Hi I'm getting the following message when downloading OTA file:

MD5 fout - gedownloade bestand is fout

MD5 error - downloaded file is corrupt

I'm using iocean x7 elite gammarom 1.1.

Is there a somehow a possibility updating my phone? Withou loosing all settings (including apps?)

Great ROM btw-- works smooth en batery life has increased with 50% using 1.1 !!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Don't worry about it, both data and system partition will be automatically formatted during installation. If you want you can wipe system too after repartitioning (or if you're not going to repartition), but that's not necessary. ;)

Thank you :) Try to repeat download again, it's working for me. I just uploaded it to mediafire ( thanks to [MENTION=4423611]voetbalremco[/MENTION] ) and OTA updates are working now. If you have issues, you can find direct download link in post #1.

No way to update without losing installed app for this update, take a backup with Titanium and put it in your external sdcard if you want to repartition ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jaw2floor:
Will I be able to get through the Aroma installer with only power button + volume keys?

I have CWM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
Hi,

I used cmw.

So I installed twrp recovery and then flashed again, successfully (gravitybox,viper, an wakelock are well installed).

However, i've now some other issues :

- most of the status bar quick access switchers don't work anymore, typically wifi, GPS,autorotate... A issue related toi gravity ?

- random fc with widgetsoid and googleplay

- free ram is less than in 1.1

I come back to 1.1 for now, cause i will need a 100% operational phone next few days :p

I'll try to flash again later.

Am i the only one who experiment these issues ?

Rgds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Don't worry, touch works with CWM recovery too during aroma installation ;) report here if you have issues with CWM because zen_green had some

-never happened to me so far, if it happens again when you flash back try to disable GravityBox and check and then enable again (reboot each time)

-when did you get Google play FC? During titanium backup restore it would be pretty normal (at least it happened to me with different roms), otherwise I don't know. Anyone else experiencing anything similar? Don't know what is widgetsoid....

-yes, free ram will be less than v1.1 for everybody. It depends on background processes management, it's not due to some app which occupies ram. The only way to improve multitasking is decreasing free ram at the same time. The problem is to find the right balance between multitasking and free ram; v1.1 had a lot of free ram, but multitasking issues. For this rom I tested many different configurations and choose one which I find a good compromise. This rom has more aggressive ram management settings than stock, but less than v1.1. Anyways if you want to set previows ram management settings, I can tell you what to do ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
Hello,

OK, i'll do that if it happens again.

Absolutely, googleplay FC happens during titanium restore.

The RAM issue was just a feedback. If it is the expected behaviour, it is OK for me. I dont't really care about the free RAM, the most important is to have an always smooth and reactive phone, in despite of apps I use.

Rgds.

Repartitioning

Will repartitioning give problems when flashing some other rom later on ie MIUI V5?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
I'll wait your and other users feedback for this ;) It's the best compromise between performances and multitasking I could find so far

No, repartitioning is something that is placed at a lower level than rom so it will survive after flashing a new one through recovery.

Flashing stock rom through Flashtool will revert to stock situation instead.

Whatever rom you flash through recovery after this one, it will keep benefiting from repartitioning without any issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
Than I am going to give it a try

After first boot after repartitioning multiple fc's on google.playstore and db.settings.

New reboot solved all the fc's but now the rest of my phone memory is gone and after plugging in to pc it says it must be formatted
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jaw2floor:
My screen smashed and the touch no longer works! I would still like to install this rom though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Oh ok, my screen is pretty broken too, (touch luckily works on mine though) I like this phone a lot, but screen is a bit too easy breakable :rolleyes:

Anyways...I mapped hardware keys too in Aroma so they work, even if it's not so easy to use them ;) Volume up can be used to move up, volume down to move down, power button to select, menu button to access menu and abort installation process, back button to go back.

In each aroma screen by default it'll be selected "Next" button, press volume up a couple of times to access to available options, use power to select and go back to "Next" button once finished clicking volume down until the end of the available options list. In case of issues use TWRP recovery which surely works and boot into recovery using OTA app which will automatically begin rom update.

@ALL Just updated emergency zip to restore to stock resolution in case of issues:

Emergency_restore_to_stock_resolution.zip

This one will work better, so those who already downloaded it, replace old zip with this one.

For what concerns OTA, it stopped working through Mediafire, because that host starts requiring captchas after a certain number of downloads. Now it's working again through Dropbox, but will soon stop working once my public links will be suspended for high traffic...

I need to find a new free hosting website which provides direct download links...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
Try this one. Doesn't have any limitation I think so it should works fine. To get direct link you should right click on the download file and get an url.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Don't think Chrome is rubbish, but I prefer Dolphin Browser, give it a try ;)

Yeah hardware keys backlight is supported by no x7 turbo model (no youth turbo, no plus, no elite), but not even by all standard youth... it depends on hardware, not on software. Those who'd like to have backlights can try "lights on" command, but it'll work only on models which support it.

Has anyone tried wifi tethering?

It always hangs when trying to turn it on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 2alive:
Thanks for this great rom!

One small bug though, in settings if I change something the option doesn't stick or become active unless I do a reboot.

For instance change language or other options, can you fix it or is there some easy way to do it?

Also in statusbar quick settings gps, auto rotation don't turn on/off...

And how can I activate swipe function in keyboard?

Thanks again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zen_green:
hello,

I've reinstalled the 1.2 and I still have the same issue within the quick settings switchers (especially connexion switcher i.e. wifi, Btooth, wifi tethering...), same as Cillin89 and 2alive.

I though that gravitybox was the cause, then i uninstalled it but still the same issues. and same when I try to switch wifi on from the settings menu, it doesn't work (or it works after a reboot , but Bluetooth doesn't...).

So it seems that GammaRom 1.2 has issues within connexion management.

Rgds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 2alive:
It seems that after a few reboots it gets better allmost everything working, just a few settings still don't work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
On mine it works, try to reboot

In kitkat keyboard included there's no available swipe (so far), in google keyboard it's among google keyboard settings.

Is it something that regularly happens or just sometimes? On mine everything seems working fine, but this kinda issues are pretty far from what this rom modifies with respect to stock (for example I didn't touch bluetooth anyhow). From connections point of view, v1.2 differs from v1.1 just for a few build.prop entries that are slightly different. I can post you previows build.prop if you want to try it, but in my opinion this cannot solve your issues (performances will go down instead).

Anyways all this let me think that something was already wrong in stock 0925 I took as a base. Latest stock 0925 looks like 0722, 0705, ..., but is deeply different inside and this gave me many issues while preparing this rom. That's why I deeply changed v1.2 optimizations with respect to v1.1: 0925 rom modded exactly the same as 0722 was an awful custom rom, it lagged too much. I was forced to completely reset the whole thing.

Since I've been reported of a few strange issues, I may consider downgrading to 0722 again, but it would require quite a lot of time, because I'm really busy right now...

PS Everyone else is getting this strange behaviour with connections?
