OTA update

Is it possible to get the OTA update as a zip I keep getting there is something wrong with the download

Edit: Nevermind after clearing data on OTA app it worked

Edit: After flashing the OTA update I no longer have the settings app. How do I get into the settings?

Also I can't find the Viper app anymore
[Miscellaneous Android Development] da_fix:
Hi the patch didn't change anything. And after a gps fix my problem of location has been solved. However i had audio profile trouble before patching so i'm going to reinstall the rom asap :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
First you may try to flash again downloaded patch in /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/ wiping cache and dalvik.

If it still doesn't work, launch File Manager mounting system folders as r/w (change it in file manager settings) and check whether you have Settings.apk in /system/app and ViPER4Android in /data/app both with permissions set to rw-r--r--. Change permissions in case of need, reboot into recovery wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

Have you ever got such issues with Google Now or with audio profiles loss before? I can't test google now because I don't use it, but for what concerns audio profiles no issues for me, I don't lose them :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] da_fix:
I had never had that kind of trouble with google now. But audio prolise loss happend to me before :(

TWRP

The problem lies in the TWRP recovery, after reinstalling CWM and then full wipe and install everything works.

In TWRP I wiped factory reset, cache,dalvik cache and system but could not get it right

Edit: I just can't get Viper to download the drivers, everything works except Viper, constant driver download failed.

Busybox Pro and Supersu are installed and work as they should. What can I do to get Viper working, I reflashed everything a couple of times and tried first Viper and one time with Viper as the last thing to do.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rafaelsartori:
hi guys, im new on this phone, 1 day experience.

i used the stock (0705) for few hours, then i go for miui v5, got back to stock. today i will test this rom, it looks work perfectly.

i just want to ask this: i saw you talking about the stock 0722, where can i fing the official roms? (im on elite).

my stock is 0705 and it says its updated on wireless upgrade.

for now is it. tomorrow i come again to give my words about this rom. thanks for the job.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Do you completely lose custom audio profiles that you create manually or is it only a question of wrong ringtone?

Once installed, Viper does not require to download drivers, you just need to install them. Launch Viper4android, tap on hardware menu button and check whether you have the option "Install Driver" or "Uninstall driver".

In case you have "Install driver" option, click on it, give app root access when prompted and everything should work after reboot (of course you need to enable Viper4Android options in v4a app after reboot).

In case you have "Uninstall driver" option, click on it and reboot once driver has been uninstalled. Now you should get "Install Driver": click on it, install it, reboot and launch v4a to customize sound.

In case of issues check with supersu app whether you accidently denied v4a root privileges.

Here more details on viper if needed:

Hi, wireless update for stock roms worked only on very first stock releases AFAIK: it won't show you when a new stock is available.

This is official Iocean x7 forum where Iocean puts its new releases:

http://bbs.iocean.cc/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=144

Enjoy ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
I have the Install driver option and Check driver option.

Every time i try Install driver option I get Driver install failed, Supersu gives root to the Viper app, busybox is installed just the driver will not install
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Something got screwed during v4a upgrade, the easier way to fix that would be to flash back the whole rom from scratch, but you may try something like this:

launch v4a and uninstall driver (in case it is installed, otherwise skip this step)

Settings>apps>Viper4android>wipe cache+data+terminate+Uninstall (just to be sure)

SuperSu> look for any Viper4android related process in the app list, click on it and select "forget"

File Manager> delete /system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so (skip this if it's missing)

reboot recovery

wipe cache, dalvik

reboot

install Viper4Android from here

launch it>select on install/update driver>hopefully it should work>reboot

If it still doesn't work a logcat may be of help, but probably reflashing the rom would be quicker.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Limbo045:
Nope did not work and reflashing the rom I did that already 3 times, guess I am going to have to live without Viper.

Maybe tomorrow I try it without flashing the ota update zip to see if that will help otherwise I would not know what to do anymore

Thanks for your help en waar kom je vandaan

It was only a problem of wrong ringtones and softkeys vibration on silent mode but my problem seems solved since i reinstalled the rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jaw2floor:
Does anyones X7 support 60fps/scrolling?

Mine doesn't and in all benchmarks I never get more than about 50fps. This could be because gpu slow for 1080p. I don't think that is the the case though since some 1080p THL phones support 60fps/scrolling.

So I'm guessing the youth might actually have a smoother interface than the elite. The scrolling is already smooth, but when comparing it to a phone with 60fps, you can see the difference. Otherwise it isn't really noticeable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] voetbalremco:
Its a modded kernel that makes the 60fps possible
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
:good:

Unfortunately it depends on kernel and both youth and elite's ones are locked at around 50fps: I tested both on my youth and got same results. Thl w8 developers managed to increase fps using other thl kernels (as thl beyond's one) or other brands kernels (AFAIK for thl w8 4GB it has been used Eastcom's kernel in the past), but that hasn't been possible for us so far: I've tried kernels from many models, but none of them work on x7 (at least not completely). Without a compatible model with an higher number of fps, there's not much we can do to improve that...

Hello Sambaa,

nice work great rom.

After applying the GammaRom, the phone is trying to make a ftp connectie to the following is-addresses:

124.219.30.162, port 21	TCP

124.219.30.164, port 21	TCP

124.219.30.168, port 21	TCP

in Taiwan.

Do you know why this is happening?

Greetings,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] voetbalremco:
MediaTek spies ;)

You better use adblock, aswell as a firewall wich can block those outgoing connections, because this shouldn't be happening..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
I don't know what it is, but it's not something related to my modifications since I deleted many stock rom apps, especially Chinese ones. It must be something mediatek related, my guess is that it may be connected to EPO or stuff like that. Even if this doesn't mean much, GPS in enginnering mode locates you exactly in Taiwan before first fix so maybe there's a connection with it/GPS stuff...

Anyways absolutely don't use any additional AdBlocking app, it will create conflicts because this rom already implements an AdBlocking service. If you want to block that specific connection you may add it with an app like this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nilhcem.hostseditor

Anyways I don't recommend you to do that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] twisterf5s:
Sambaaa,

I understand it is not your modification and i use firewalls thats why i see that this traffic is blocked.

How is this when you don't use wifi but g3?

The phone now also wants to connect to 118.26.237.4, port 8100	TCP. Also somewhere in Asia.

Isn't it possible to trace which service/app is trying to this?

I don't like to use bankapps when i'm not sure which app is trying to connect to strange sites.

Greetings,

Well, everything is possible on android, but I sincerely don't know how to do it... By the way for what concerns privacy or security issues you may try this xposed module:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] LukCPL:
Installed on my Plus. Works nice so far. Will report any bugs. Good job :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lokkiyo:
First of all thank you for this great ROM :D

But i'm having some issues with the RAM management, the phone just handle one process, when I switch between apps it always kills all the background apps.

i.e: When i lock the phone i have to let whatsapp opened in order to recieve messages.

PD: Sorry for my english :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
;)

Hi! Are you sure you don't have any additional ram manager or any kind of app that wants to handle backgound processes (there's a wide range of apps that may create issues)? I use whatsapp as my main messaging app and stuff like that as viber, facebook, ... with no issues so far...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lokkiyo:
Yes I don´t have any ram manager. At first I suposed that the Xposed Module "X Theme" was the problem, but I turned it off and the problem was still.

So I decided to look into the Rom files, and changed the values of the "Minfree" file...

From this:

2048,4096,51200,56320,61440,70400

To this:

1536,3072,10240,15360,20480,25600

(Indeed i don't know what means every single value:confused:, but i got back to have a real multitasking.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
That's ok if you had issues. On mine notifications works fine so no need to decrease minfree values :good: I may introduce the possibility to set rom behaviour in the aroma installer according to user prefences.

If anyone of you doesn't like modified icons and launcher, below you can find two usefull zips:

Stock_icons_and_launcher.zip as you may guess restores both stock icons and stock launcher

Stock_launcher.zip restores only launcher

Reboot recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and flash desired zip

Ps my advice is to keep xperia launcher: it runs smooth and has a low ram consumption, but I know that many of you love stock launcher so... ;)

xperia_launcher_locked_rotations.zip - 1.68 MB

I unlocked all rotations in xperia launcher included in gammarom, if you want it not to rotate flash original xperia launcher above. It has a slightly different look (as the one I put in GravityMod2), but it's the still the same and never rotates. Of course gammarom xperia launcher wouldn't rotate if you simply lock rotation, but I guess you already know this :o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stropdas:
Just installed this rom an hour ago. The only thing I miss is the option to hide the inactive SIMs. I use it without a SIM as it is just a phone to play around with at home because of the FullHD and low price. Pretty fast compared to the custom ROM based on 22 may-ROM (which had the option to hide inactive SIMs). Once I had a freeze for more than 5 seconds but that could be because it's building cache. I'm happy with it. I will keep track of this ROM :o

dual sim tricks

Hi all !

First of all, thanks for this great rom, I can't wait to try it ! I was until now with Atlantis (I can't post the link, google is your friend ^^), best one I found.

It remains an unsolved question, the one of the two keys for outgoing calls and sms, allowing to choose with wich I want to call or send my SMS. It's important because I live between 2 countries and was really helpfull on my old 4.0.1 dual sim Bird v1277... Any idea ?

And yes, how to be considerd as "home carrier" instead of in roaming with some operators like Free Mobile in France ?

Thanks again, keep doing good job !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Yeah, I got single sim too, as voetbalremco said:

GravityBox>statusbar tweaks>auto hide signal icons

That kinda mods are no longer necessary now with GravityBox :) almost everything you may need is already there...

Hi, unfortunately I cannot help you about this, I use one sim only so don't know anything about how this phone handles two sims... Hope some user with two sims may give you an answer about that ;)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
But on yr previous (the port) rom it was working well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
By BBM you mean BlackBerry messaging? I'm able to download it on my x7 and it works. It may be an issue related to your country, I can give you .apk in case of need.

/system/.... or choose "file manger" instead of "Media storage" and browse with selected file manager to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

If it's only related to ringtone, you could temporarily solve it editing an existing line of build.prop:

ro.config.ringtone=name_of_your_ringtone.mp4 (if it's .mp4, otherwise use .ringtone_extension of course)

name_of_your_ringtone.mp4 needs to be in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ to do this and permissions set to rw-r--r--. Anyways I don't lose my audio profiles :rolleyes:

What was working well? (voetbalremco port or my port?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
Sorry I didn't read who answers me and I assumed it was you... I mean on your previous rom. When I put ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones its working, but as I said before, on gravitymod2 rom which was ported from thl w8 directory on sdcard/media/audio/ringtones was working well. Here its not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] voetbalremco:
Remove the line in build.prop called

Just test otg function. Not working. Keep unmount while mount. It's looping. Any fix? It is have to do with fstab file?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
I tried creating many audio profiles choosing both stock ringtones and .mp3 ringtones from sdcard, I rebooted many times, but didn't lose them :confused:

First of all, when you choose a ringtone does it prompt the possibility to choose between "media storage" and "file manager"? If it doesn't, did you uninstall this file manager? Because through that I can select any ringtone in any folder.

Secondly, do you completely lose audio profiles or only ringtones? Try to follow both my suggestion (edit build.prop as I described) and voetbalremco suggestion and let me know.

Thirdly, does any Gammarom user lose audio profiles or someone does not? Can't explain why I'm not losing them...

I tried on mine and mounts normally, maybe you could try to change cable (if you have another one) or pendrive. fstab file is stock iocean one so don't think it needs to be changed... Is otg working fine for the rest of you?

Anyways

GammaRom v1.2

is at a good stage of development, I'm optimizing a few things. The main issue is related to repartitioning internal sdcard, I'd need someone with an Iocean Elite to test it on that model before releasing it because that feature may easily give issues. Anyone with iocean Elite or Plus wants to

try GammaRom v1.2 still in beta version

? Repartitioning may cause bootloops, so it would be better someone with a bit of experience. Let me know. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
I think you misunderstood me. I don't loose my audio profiles. I said that when I put some mp3 files to folder sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ they should be visible in the ringtones list. When I put them to system/media/audio/ringtones/ they are visible as they should be.

I can set any ringtone by opening it and do as you said in file manager.

Btw. My otg works. Maybe you should format pendrive and try one more time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LukCPL:
The ROM works nice so far, no major problems just:

a) The battery drains a bit faster than in JL Samsung ROM

b) The task killer settings are a bit too agressive IMO

c) Some minor problems with Dolphin and Facebook aps, as they sometimes hang for a while, CMR Racing slowed down a few times too, which didn't happen on other ROMs :confused:

d) Using CPU Spy, it seams the phone goes into 1.5 Ghz more often than on other ROMs (they would go more often to 1.2Ghz), which can be the reason for a higher battery drain

Keep up the good work :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Ok, I got you now! :good: I confused your issues with others previowsly reported!

I cannot test it on gammarom v1.1 since I've v1.2 now on my phone right now, but on v1.2 is working fine, at least on my youth. When I put any .mp3 file in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ it appears in available ringtones list too. Hope it will work for you too :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for reporting, it will help. I'm testing different ram management settings, I'm looking for a good compromise between performances and multitasking; v1.2 optimization settings will partially differ from v1.1. Hope this may help with reported issues.

I'll see what I can do for battery life ;)

i'm elite user and already repartition my ELite with Mateos tools, there is no issues with repartition on elite's.

now i'v plenty of space to instal application in my internal SD,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Yeah I used meteos too in the past, but I want to implement repartitioning inside rom installer (as optional of course). Meteos is in different versions depending on rom: one for 4GB, one for 16GB and one for 32GB. This repartitioning needs to work with all of them at the same time and, according to my tests, it will work. It's gonna be a beta feature for now :o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] prahasta:
i thing for sure, in 32 GB memory, when we decide to increase internal memory, sometimes devices after successfull booting will not read the rest of the memory, to fix this, you should mount your phone into your PC/Notebook and format the unknown memory into FAT32 format,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
It's quite obvious when you do repartition you need to format all your data.

yup. repartition will delelte all your data.

do nandroid backup before using mateos :),

Thank you very much guys for your collaboration ;) actually beta testing is no longer needed since I've already been reported of repartitioning working on plus and elite too. Right now I need to fix a few things that doesn't require tests on different models so I can handle it with my youth :)

Thank you anyways!

In Pie control settings you need to set "always enable" and where you want it to appear (left, right, up or bottom side). I recommend you not to choose two sides at the same time (eg:right and left) because I noticed this can slow down system and launcher scrolling, at least on my youth.

If you choose left border for example, you need to swipe your finger from left to right on left border (from outside towards inside).

It seems difficult described this way, but it's pretty automatic :)

If it still doesn't work, do you have any other app which may conflict with it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] voetbalremco:
I think you should hold your finger on the left side of the screen(if you choose left), near the border, not swipe from it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] prahasta:
problem solved.

there is interfere with Go launcher ex Premium, coz i activate side bar. my PIE is also set trigger from righ side
