At first, congratulations)

Then... it is very strange what you flashed phone with preloader checked and it is working now.

Preloader is main loader of phone. It controls phone like BIOS in PC.

I added in all manuals words "uncheck preloader" cause

wrong preloader could soft-brick phone

. When you are flashing any custom ROM - no need to reflash preloader. You are changing only system part by new ROM, not hardware-related.
[Android General] uilson11:
that's strange it should work. In my tcl with original rom it wasn't working either but after several atempts it finaly showed the options to select where I wanted the wallpaper.

Unless you mean, browse the phone to search for the image, that I can't do either.

But one way to bypass that is to move the image to the Pictures / Bluetooth / Camera folder on the phone, that way it will appear in the gallerie app, making it possible to select the custom image.

_______

About the apps, if you could send what you have, I would then choose from what left of you default apps, like compass and others.

Thanks. :thumbup:

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you should go to settings in the 'App backup & restore' and mark the "show system apps", and then go back and refresh the list and then do the backup.

And about the wallpaper? Did my last post worked?

Thank you for the apps and sorry for trouble. :beer::D

Tutorial to translate apps to your native language (if supported by app)

Hi all, I'm posting this to teach you to change the apps language to your native language (

only if the app support your native language

) if you are with the TCL ROM with only chinese and english language, but this will also work on Alcatel ROM.

Heres how:

You can perform the switch in engineering mode by inputting “*#country code #”, then press “call” key. Please be noted that the country code here you input should be four figures. If the code is less than 4 figures, add “0” at the beginning. For example, inputting *#0086# can switched into simple Chinese (China code 86), *#0044# is into British English (GB code 44) and *#0033# is into French (France code 33) etc..

If the required language is not built in your phone, this will just change the apps to your language (

only if app support your language

).

If the language is available in the ROM your phone will be all translated (system and apps,did I mention the thing about the app support?)​

Hope this help some of you that do not want to flash you phone with other ROMs, for whatever reason it may be. :good:

[Android General] uilson11:
Hi, if the phone is alcatel and has warranty, I advise you to go to the store and send the phone to the warranty.

It will cost you nothing, unless the problems result from bad usage.

If you want, do a backup off your things to a computer and then use the alcatel updater, it will format your phone and install the latest rom available for you hero

I noticed today that I only have like 1.5gb space left on my phone :confused:

tried to find out whats using so much space but couldn't find anything... i have 1gb of music and like 50mb of pictures and that's it.

I flashed the alcatel rom if it is any indication.

Also, the folder structure of my phone is in multiple layers. I have all the folder including a folder called 0, if I go in there, all folders are there again, if I go to the 0 folder in that one I come to another one - most of them are empty though.

can someone tell me what the hell is going on and how I can fix this without flashing anything again?
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
Folder called 0 is the key)

Every time you are using stock recovery, it creates backup of /sdcard into 0.

But only stock recovery.

Cwm can not make backup this way and use own method.

Mobile upgrade utility does not make copy, so be aware.
[Android General] fabioff:
So I can just delete the 0 folder and everything is fine?
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah. But better delete content if this folder, not a folder.

problem

Hi!

I have problem with my TCL Y910. It seems like its overheating because keeping it in freezer for a while makes it stable for some time. Playing games or browsing internet makes my phone stall. I bought my TCL Y910 used and it was already rooted so warrranty is out of question.

Have anyone seen this kind of problems with this phone?

Any suggestions what might help me with this problem?

Is there a way to put my phone in orginal state without turning my phone on because it will propably turnoff anyways while trying to do anything with it?

It would be a shame to throw this phone away because i already started to like it.

-Jarmodel-
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
Just notice what it is a beta. So some errors and misbehaviours are there.

17 Oct TCL released beta calling "Stable". May be, this version does not have problems with bluetooth.

[Android General] alibaba321:
Jes, but it's not a big deal, it shows this notification only after a restart. And this rom is much much better, I was hoping it will be. Display looks better/sharper (maybe its only my fiction) and it's much faster with much less lagg. The other russian roms did not work with my device. Thanks again!

Btw, what version did you flash?

I use beta stable (from 17.10.2014). It is latest version at this moment.

[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah. siusiu321 posted version "Beta 2". There is two versions after:

Beta 4 (26.09.2014)

To root: Flash CWM, then supersu archive via this custom recovery.

Important: to revert back from siusiu321 beta 2 version, you MUST do repartition back.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

Can I just flash new rom by installing zip via CWM which is already thre when I flashed siusiu beta 2? Is it neccesary to do repartition back? Do I need to do some other repartition again for flashing beta stabile? Why do I need supersu? Do I need repartition if I go via Flash Tool? Sorry for asking, I'm new in this field, don't know much about... Thanks!
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
No.

I suppose, Yes.

No.

supersu = superuser = root. If you are not using apps requiring root, so don't install.

Probably no, but better to do repartition before flashing via FlashTool.

how do i get to recovery mode ? i tried pressing vol+ or vol- together with power button but it doesnt go to recovery mode.

What should i do ?
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
You have to mount /system first in recovery, then install GApps.
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
To get into recovery:

1. You must turn phone off. Check for bootloop - phone in off-state does not blink by screen. If phone is bootlooping - you can't go into recovery.

2. Press Power + Volume Up. When bootanimation will appear, quickly release Power, but stay hold V+

I tested on 8020A model with the very first beta (still on that version). And it is correct, no 3G unless the user's network works on 900/2100. What I did was to backup the modem.img and replaced this file inside the Beta rom. I still have that rom modified but considering that newer betas were provided by you, I might try to make a modified rom based on the latest rom.

If there are people interested in it, I could give it a try.

[Android General] alibaba321:
I have unzipped ROM, start FT, navigate to scatter file, unchecked recovery as I don't want to flash CWM (it was the same when I didn't), turn off phone, connect to PC, let FT do the work, after that firs boot in recovery (it was the same when I didn't), did wipe data/factory reset, and than reboot phone. First build of beta stable i did this way without prob, second edition (03) had prob with app crash (weather widget had funny elliptic shape, ect), and with last built (04) ended up in boot loop and couldn't even boot in CWM. Had to flash again with FT backup I have made earlier.
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
Oh no))) Do not check custpack is same as driving car without steering wheel)
