[TUT]Increasing max loudness on MT6572

There is a bunch of useful tutorials on 4PDA Forum, unfortunately for You, they are all in Russian. I will now try to translate one of them, and hopefully even more when i catch more free time. For this occasion i choose simplest and shortest one tutorial, which describes you how to increase loudness of your fine piece of technology :D

# Adjusting Volume

(refer to this post: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=497271&view=findpost&p=25881576) Thanks to [MENTION=651200]molo[/MENTION]rick)

Requirements

* MTK Engeenering Mode. You can enter it by typing *#*#3646633#*#* or from app grid by downloading shortcut from Google Play Store: MTK Engeenering Mode.

* MT6572 board smartphone

* Common sense

Procedure

1) You can enter MTK Engeenering Mode either by typing code *#*#3646633#*#* into dialer or from app grid by tapping on MTK Engeenering Mode app. If are you using app, enter MTK Settings first, otherwise just slide to the right until tab named "Hardware Testing" appear, than tap on "Audio".

2) If You just want to increase volume of headphones, than tap on "Headset Mode", under "Type" select "Media" and enter 160 into field Max Vol. 0~160 instead of stock value which is 148 and tap on "Set".

3) If You want to increase volume of Ringer, than tap on "LoudSpeaker Mode", under "Type" select "Ring" and enter also 160 into field Max Vol. 0~160 instead of stock value which is 136 in this case and tap on "Set".

Perhaps if You want io increase volume of Media reproduction on phone speaker, one should do all same as for the Ringer but chose "Media" for the "Type" in "LoudSpeaker Mode" instead of "Ring", but I did not tested this. Also One can change individual value for each step of the volume sliders in very same menu (i.e to change from linear to logarithmic progression and vice versa) but I can not see why anyone would do that.

Warning and Safety

I am not responsible for any damage causes by using of this tutorial. Please be aware that you can burn speaker, or even damage your hearing by doing. If something goes wrong, MTK Engeenering Mode settings are restored once hard restart via recovery is done but better do not risk.

For flash (You need CWM)

copy custpack1011Clean.img to /sdcard/custpack.img and CWM folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/

Boot the phone into recovery backup your current rom and restore attached backup.

You need to flash the "custpack" .

Backup your current custpack (From ADB in Recovery Mode)

cat /emmc@custpack > /sdcard/custpack.img.old

Flash the new custpack :

echo /sdcard/custpack.img > /emmc@custpack

[/QUOTE]

This toturial is working but you have to use cat /sdcard/custpack.img > /emmc@custpack command instead of

echo /sdcard/custpack.img > /emmc@custpack. If somone have Polish language in your ROM please make a backup and upload to some server. THX I can upload backup from Ireland 3 network, but there is no Polish language aswell ver.01003

Is someone able to compile a list of safe to remove bloatware? Please and thanks.:victory:
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
No, because BloatWare in this phone comes in many different shapes, mainly depending on carrier network, distribution zone, board or firmware version. I can provide you with list of safe-to-disable BloatWare for OT-6012X, ver 01001 Telenor SRB (because i had only this variant) but other carriers, models, variants have different BloatWare preinstalled.
[General Questions and Answers] Sergiulik2000:
Safe to remove Bloat-Ware

Din cate am vazut , esti roman , asa ca poate esti pe ORANGE :D

FOR ORANGE HIRO

This is how I removed bloatware PERMANENTLY !

WHAT YOU NEED - Root Acces ( VROOT , FRAMAROOT , Z4ROOT , All ROOTing programs )

- Clean Master ( May be downloaded from Google Play Store for free )

Open Clean Master , provide Root Acces , and then enter the '' Application Management '' tab , then go to system application uninstall and remove the Following :

-Orange Cloud

-Orange Gestures

-Orange Antivirus

-Orange TV Go

Bassicaly , ALL apps that start with ORANGE :D

Succes !
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
Look dude, everything you can uninstall through stock Application Manager is safe to remove. For everything else you'll need rooted device and link2sd or similar app. However, I'm not suggesting uninstalling those apps but to freeze (disable) them instead.

This is list of my Frozen (disabled) bloat apps on OT-6012X Telenor SRB Build 01001 :

ONE TOUCH Live

ONE TOUCH Center

SwiftKey (using TouchPal X instead)

Deezer

News & Weather

Maps

Google+

Picasa Uploader

Google Play Music

Google Play Games

Hangouts

Google Text-to-speech Engine

Black hole

Music Virtualisation Wallpapers

Bubbles

Phase Beam

Radio (widget)

Alcatel Help (for dumbs)

Analog clock

Music (widget)

Setup Wizard

Email (using Gmail only)

Pico TTS

But this list is result of my choice. If you prefer to using TTS services, you, normally won't disable text-to-speech services, etc.

All other apps (games like Asphalt 7 and so on) which CAN BE uninstalled without root apps are prolly safe to remove, because i uninstalled it all. Anyway, each of them will left APK on /custpack partition, and everything can be restored at will or after hard restart via stock recovery. If you also delete those APKs from custpack, I cant garantee.

[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
Define "complete"...

If one use method You described with MTK Droid Root & Tools it become much more likely. And that is only temporary root anyway, you need to push su and aux files in order to obtain permanent root.

No, I dont think so. Factory reset will not remove su files, it will only erase /data and /cache, but no /system or /custpack will be changed, therefore root remains after hard restart, I personally tested and can confirm that.

[APP]Extend Notification LED on MTK

Few people asked if it's possible to make notification LED works also for 3rd party apps like WhatsApp, Viber etc. Well, as far as I know - no. But, here is workaround which allows one to utilize button backlight as notification light;

I found this useful APK specially designed to work with any MTK SoC-s which can extend LED notifications from various apps to hardware keys backlight to. It is good because can be used as Accessibility service for Viber, WhatsApp, etc. (refer to this page: http://fvicente.es/wordpress/led-de-notificacion-para-telefonos-mtk-notification-led-on-mtk-phones/) thanks to [MENTION=1052468]franfj[/MENTION]

Latest release: MTKButtonLed 0.0.4.0.apk. For other or older visit referrer page (Spanish).

*** This app works only with rooted devices. Tested and works fine on OT-6012X Telenor SRB Build 01001. Have fun!

[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
It's not malware, it's just common android exploit which allows you to root device. Some A/V detect that as potentially malware. ESET Nod32 AntiVirus detect same potential malware in MTKDroid Root & Tools... That is why one need to disable A/W and FireWall when flashing devices.

There is TWRP for OT-6012X which should work with /custpack on 4PDA forum, but I did not test it. However there is only recovery.img, and I do not know if it needs patched boot.img to work (like CWM) or not. Take a closer look at this posts

No problem bro, (one must be registered on 4PDA to be able to use downlaods). Here is it:

But I repeat, I don't know if it require modified boot.img to work or not. I guess it's taken from russian OT-6012X.

[MENTION=5564158]Candiety[/MENTION]

If you mean for rooting I would always give chance to Framaroot because it is safest and simplest known method to me, it will search for all availible exploits and it is reversable. But if Framaroot won't work, than I don't know. Farmaroot will use Boromir exploit for rooting but recent release can also use Barahir which is common on MTK SoC

Here you are sir!
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
Excellent, thanks! So now its confirmed to work on both 01011 and on my 01001 which means it should also works on all board between 01001 ~ 01011 which means all OT-6012X known to this day!

For devices on 01011: if your device revert back to stock recovery after each reboot you need to RENAME (or move or delete) file /system/recovery-from-boot.p

If someone have dual SIM idol MINI and want to try TWRP i can provide recovery for OT-6012D to.

Template (update-binary) is taken from 01011 OTA: update.zip. (for creating future update.zip for TWRP)

However, we are still far away from working CyanogenMOD... After my exam schedule ends in late February, I will give it more time to compile kernel from scratch (alcatel sources) but with OC capability, more governors and I/O schedulers. I think this phone may perform way better with smartassV2 or interactive!

Meanwhile, anyone should feel free to cook their own custom ROMs! Just target it to be lightweight, simple, fast, responsive, debloated, with common tools and performance fixes preinstalled and you cant miss :D Cheers!

That recovery dont make /custpack backup or restore therefore is useless for Alcatel (and other jrd classes). I am working right now on porting full working CWM which will able to make full backup/restore/update... Patience please!

Chainfire 3D is for Adreno GPU, not for mali-400. You prolly cant install stock ROM any longer (Mobile Upgrade S 4.0.6 wont let you downgrade firmware). Did you tired to enter stock recovery (press volume+ and power) and restore factory defaults. Soon after initial boot uninstall chainfire 3D and all libs...
