Well wifi bars are just a software configuration: 3 bars on an Iocean x7 is not the same as 3 bars on another phone. The only real quantity which tells you what's the wifi signal level is its value in dB. Under a certain number of dB you'll still be able to connect to wifi, but speed will slow down. Iocean configured its rom so that 2 bars are equal to a very low number of dB==>very low connection speed or no connection at all. If you try GravityMod2 which is a port from a thl w8 rom you'll get a lower number of wifi signal bars in the same point with respect to Iocean stock rom (or gammarom), but the same number of dB. As I said, it's just a matter of configuration: consider 3 bars as a low signal and 2 bars as almost no signal.

Don't worry, Viper4android works for sure if you give root access, install drivers (cortex A9), reboot and enable it: don't forget to enable the first option of each tab (master power). Don't use any other app or audio mod which may produce conflicts with v4a.

For what concerns camera, did you really get 30fps with stock rom and stock camera app? With my youth I don't, only using lenovo camera I can get around 30fps, but only in good light conditions. With lower light fps decrease a lot on both camera apps. Do you get a different behaviour with respect to stock (a comparison with 0722 stock would be better) with the same light conditions?

OTA Updates

As some of you asked me, OTA updates have been implemented:

Actually I'm not really sure I'll include this feature in future releases, I'll think about it. Right now I don't have enough time to keep working on it, but next step will be an aroma installer version of this rom (not in the near future though) :cowboy:

Hei, I tried flashing the weather.zip , and there are 2 troubles:

- My device npw locates me in a city which is at 800 kilometers from where i'm am ^^

- Each time i reboot my phone, i lose my audio profiles settings :(

I guess i'll reinstall the rom properly. Thanks anyway :) !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tmk2404:
I tried with Viper4android and it works actually, but now with all types of players. It's working well with walkman which is include in rom, but not with PowerAmp. Have a question regarding this.. there is new ver of viper called Viper FX. Before installing it you must uninstall older version. And after that we have Viper4Android in settings which produce FC when you try to enter. Can you tell me how to change setting.apk in order to works with new version?

Today I tried recording in diffrent conditions. In perfect light outside there is 30fps indeed, but inside of the room with normal light fps decreases under 20fps. Also see that bitrate of this videos is diffrent and changes depending on the conditions, but I think should be stable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Which apps locates you 800km far from where you are? Did it change anything with Google Now weather or no change at all?

Anyways don't really think that audio profiles issue may be connected to that mini-patch: it just restored two weather system apps I deleted, nothing more.

Yeah that's exactly the behaviour I've always got with any rom tried so far, number of fps strongly depends on light conditions. I just got around 25fps in a video at home with low light conditions. I'm afraid it strongly depends on kernel/sensors/drivers: nothing that I can change.

Talking about Viper4Android, version included is already Viper4Android FX, but as you noticed it has been upgraded to v2.3.0.1. Fixing Settings FC with newer version is not so quick to explain, I'll release an update tomorrow which will upgrade Viper4Android to latest version and fix Settings FC with V4A new version ;)

GammaRom v1.1 - 09/10

GammaRom v1.1

This is just an update to flash above GammaRom v1.0, the only real change is the addition of OTA updates

Installation guide

This guide seems quite long, but it's really easy actually: GammaRom_OTA_update.zip just enables OTA updates on GammaRom, once flashed it you'll get the first OTA update from ota center to upgrade from v1.0 to v1.1.

As I said DO NOT WIPE DATA (only cache) and this update won't make you lose your apps and settings: everything will remain exactly as it was in v1.0 (except Viper4Android of course which will need to be reconfigured).

GammaRom_OTA_update.zip - 409.88 KB
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Samiej6:
Hi Sambaaa,

I've been using v1.0 for my iOcean x7 Youth, and it runs great.

I just flashed the OTA update.zip and I noticed something weird.

When I open the updater app I see this:

Device: V9

ROM: GammaRom_v1.0_x7_Elite_20130722

Rom version: 1.0

OTA ID: iocean_x7_gammarom

available update: GammaRom_x7_Elite v1.1

Also, in android settings - > about rom - > build number it says "GammaRom_v1.0_x7_Elite_20130722.

So basically, everywhere it says Elite instead of youth. And i definitely have the youth version.

Does the updater download the youth version if I update? Not willing to brick my phone here...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Hi, don't worry: with the name "GammaRom_v1.0_x7_Elite_20130722" I meant that this is GammaRom v1.0 for Iocean x7 based on Iocean Elite 20130722 stock rom. I just changed update name from "GammaRom_x7_Elite v1.1" to "GammaRom_x7 v1.1" so it'll be more clear for everybody ;)

Right now OTA updates will be the same for any Iocean x7: I'm not gonna push model-specific OTA updates, everything you'll be asked to flash through ota will be the same for any model. Maybe in the future I'll fork OTA updates, but right now it's not necessary.

PS I forgot to update build number to GammaRom v1.1 (it'll keep showing v1.0 after update), but I bet you can live with it :p

Dear sambaa

Does our lovely rom have multiple user account feature?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimikord:
this problem started when I flash gamma rom.But when i put another rom problem does not exist even though I do always factory reset and wipe case and dalyik.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
İ tryed that added v2 scripts to v1,5 but result bootloop...i installed v2. 2 times but always get same problem all my sdcard apps FC...maybe ext4 remount script did some conflict...we can use opera maybe default..stock browser is all worse damn slow in all stock roms..the problem with current file managers hard to go edit system files with root...mobileuncle yes default its run on background but it can be disabled...

Other great news iocean announced iocean x7S wlth mtk6592 octacore cpu i hope they release 4.3 or even 4.4 roms..

Hi Sambaaa and everybody,

Do you know the SPL Engine ?

Perhaps, a good way for your next GammaRom version :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsam:
Hey I tried Walton edited ROM I replaced boot with a500 ROM and this rom worked perfectly... Thanks again for this ROM and sorry for replying too late I was busy nailing color os to a500 that's why I didn't got time to test it sorry again....I got a question is there way to port iocean gamma ROM because I ocean ROM looks better I tried porting various ways but wasn't able to get it boot with your meta-inf.I tried with mine meta inf it booted but was without launchers or any apps as all apps are installed through option in aroma installer....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spikywits:
I don't think it will add anything to the already full tuned GammaRom. Basically it is just another set of scripts to tune vm, memory heap, freemem, cpu governor, etc. IMO our next focus should be porting of cyonogenmod, AOKP, etc I know its difficult but if Faea could develop one for their phones we might get one as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sambaaa:
Yes! You can enable them this way:

http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/...d-10-1-and-some-other-android-4-2-2-roms.html

Be careful because it can easily produce bootloop

Strange, there's nothing in particular in my rom except /data wipe...

Don't you like Dolphin? I find it pretty good. Root explorer would be good to add, but it's for pay, so I'm not allowed to put it inside my rom... Among free ones rhmsoft is pretty good, I daily edit system files, it sometimes fails (for example when pushing into /system a file which need at the same time to be extracted from a zip), but it's quite good..

x7s and x8 have been announced, but don't think we may use their roms as a base for customs.. we'll see!

I didn't know that collection of hacks in particular, but that kinda mods is already included in v2 so they would conflict; v2.0 is already deeply hacked, next version will be very little tweaked, much less than any previows gamma.

Good, what kinda issues did my updater script gave you? Mine is pretty messed up because of aroma, incremental upgrade, multi-model support, repartitioning,...

Yeah, once they release something, we may try to port it... but it's a lot of work for possibly very little gain (xposed modules already ports most part of cm/aokp/paranoid features to our roms).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tharonny:
Just a question. Is there a posibility to have multiwindow in this rom? Or does it has to be fully AOSP to include those features?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsam:
I replaced patched boot.IMG in in zip and also in models and deleted uboot.bin.Now every time I flashes ROM it simply doesn't boot this boot.IMG works with other updater scripts...

I encountered a problem that already occurred over last couple of updates. When I try to activate a hotspot it does nothing alike. Also the wifi is not usable anymore. Have to reboot to get normal wifi functionality back. tried to reflash rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache but hot spot simply wont work at all. any suggestions?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] BartAfterDark:
Does anyone know what kl file we need to edit, to change or disable the hardware buttons?

It also seems fstrim is enabled in the latest kernel :) Has anyone tried it and seen any difference?

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Does it say Wi-Fi hotspot is activated, when you turn it on, or does the button stay Off?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LupusWorax:
it says its going to but it never does, switch is at on position but still gray, so I cant switch back to off at all.Then I need to restart cause wifi isnt working any more after that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BartAfterDark:
I would delete 02Logger from your init.d folder, so that logs are enabled on your device, and then run a adb logcat, while you try turning Hotspot on.

That way Samba can get a log and we might be able to figure out what's wrong.

Hi guys

I´m thinking about buying an Iocean X7 Turbo, and then install this ROM, read it has Viper:good:

How do u find audio quality with this Rom?, for music through headphones mainly, don´t really care about the speaker as long as i can play my music with superb quality, which player do you use?

Also, for the guys who had problems with GPS on stock rom, did it fix for you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jimmys01:
I use PowerAmp. But it is not for free... i gues any player will do since they all use the same Media library to play the songs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cesarleeds:
Yeah, i have Poweramp´s full version, it is indeed a very nice app.

So how do u find the quality? which earphones are u using?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BartAfterDark:
I don't think you should expect better sound quality, than most of the other MTK devices.

If you want a device with a better dac, then look at the Neo N003, it uses a Yamaha chip for sound processing.

My personal opinion is buy the phone you like and pair it with a good set of wired headphones. Viper also does a good job at making the sound more rich.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cesarleeds:
The thing is that i neved had a MTK device before, so it´s a new world for me.

I´m using 2 sets of earphones, Senheiser CX300II and Soundmagic PL30, both of them gave me very nice results on the different smartphones i used until now.

I had the Galaxy Note that used a Yamaha chip, and i was quite disappointed with the sound, sold the Note 10 days after i bought it, however i had before the Galaxy Nexus S with Wolfson chip, and it was wonderful, so not sure about the N003.

I´m gonna wait for the an international edition of the Meizu MX3, expected for Q3, which uses the latest Wolfson chip with a built-in amplifier, it sounds very promising, in the meantime i want to try one of these MTK devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eltdesign:
iocean x7 elite also has yamaha(?) chip 3d sound if im not wrong...very powerfull and quality sound than any other mtk phone ive used before.. viper sound plugin also very good to enhance the sound quality and effects also if u use your quality earphones im sure you will satisfy.. and if u go to engineer settings and enter the higher audio value you will get more high volume in your ears :good:

Hi,

can someone share a link to the lastest stock FW for youth edition?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BartAfterDark:
You can switch the back and recent button with GravityBox

Are you sure you're running the phone at 1080 res, because hardware doesn't work at 720p, etc.

heres info regarding the issue https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2343 (can't record for 10 seconds because size limit 900kb is hit early)

is it possible to change the roms camera profile to lower the bit rate of video? if yes, can this be done for specific apps?

Hi [MENTION=5073973]Sambaaa[/MENTION],

Both 02Logger and 12cleaner includes the rm main log feature, so if you delete 02Logger, you still don't get logs :)

To people wanting to view your logcats:

Delete 02Logger from your init.d folder and delete or comment out the last lines in 02Cleaner:

#remove main log
if [ -e /dev/log/main ]
then
rm -f /dev/log/main
fi

I have a question though, has anyone had any problems turning bluetooth on and off, when quick boot is enabled?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fjndias:
I was having problems with my X7 , like the phone was restarting itself and just a little touch on back cover the phone would restart itself , I thought it was the Rom, opened the back cover and realised there was 2 screws missing so grabbed a small screwdriver and tighten the rest of the screws , all screw were almost loose , so check your phones and make sure the screws are tight.

Had no problems since .

PS. Sorry for the offtopic but it could help someone .

Website was called to2c I think. Replacing screen is easy, if you've dealt with micro electronics before you won't need a video tutorial.

Here are the steps, use them as a guideline

1. Remove all screws on back of phone

2. Separate white plastic from screen, it clicks off

3. Disconnect the 2 motherboard connectors, unscrew motherboard

4. Lift the top end of motherboard, disconnect connector revealed at the bottom and GPs antenna

5. Tear off black tape, be careful doing this to avoid damaging the connector

6. Remove earpiece speaker from original screen and put in replacement. This is stuck down pretty good.

7. Remove small rubber rings from old screen, by the proximity sensor and front camera, place in new screen.

8. Apply the black tape you removed to new screen.

The rest is self explanatory. If I can help more please just ask
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rogersk8ter:
Thanks guys. Appreciate.

Not sure I should spend $100 for screen replacement.

Maybe I shd look for used parts from someone's spoilt phones.
