Hello

Maybe i found a workaround to reduce/eliminate call lag on jb roms; i'm using an app that locks apps in the ram, it's called Memory Locker( it's not free) and it can lock the phone app ( i locked launcher too -apex- and i've few to zero redraws)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2366619

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartprojects.MemoryLocker

i'm on CM10 limited edition and it seems to work fine (using v 1.30 since the latest crashes on startup). If you try it and it works on other roms please report it here.

Call lag is caused by viber (or some other active VoIP software.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fozinahwi:
Viber is the cause of the lag use greenify and keep viber closed dont open it unless u wanna use it

I don´t know what eveybody has o.O I have only on Stock JB Call Lags. I have a Xperia Sola and I'm on CM10 (by Shoaib Ahmed) with abyssplug governor (200MHz - 1000MHz) and deadline scheduler and I don't have any call lags. Everything works fast and snappy ;) The only thing which disturbs me is the not so good battery life on CM10 :/ Has anybody tweaks or so which can increase the battery life?

How To Use Research Download!

Hey all! I was looking around the web and i didn't seem able to find a actually proper tutorial on how to

use research download for flashing phones and such. It not necessarily difficult it just took me a while to

figure out how to use when i first started using it so i thought I'd make a tutorial for anyone who doesn't

know it :)

Glossary

Flash: To overwrite your phones existing software with another.

Rom: Firmware for your phone.

.pac file: File in which research download uses.

Before this it is important to have the VCOM drivers for you phone installed on your computer. (Links Below)

To start go ahead and press the first gear button. This will open up a browse menu

Use the menu to browse for where your .pac file for your phone is saved. These files are usually given

from the phones manufacture. The browse menu can only open .pac files.

Once the file is loaded you can tell, you will be able to see the name on the bar (as shown).

Next press the second gear to open up the settings menu.

1. How much to port (self explanatory)

2. Bautrate. Leave this at 115200 unless your phone manufacture said otherwise. This works for the SC6820.

3. This will be automatically selected once you load the .pac file.

4. Where all the files are stored. You can actually extract these once you load a .pac file hehe :P .

5. Name of Each file. If its ticked it will be flashed. You can untick things you don't want to be flashed.

6. This is just if your going to build a .pac file from parts, don't worry about it that's a whole other thing.

Once your don't editing the settings you can go ahead and press Ok.

After your done press the arrow like button. This will start the process and have it ready for your phone.

Take the battery out of your phone now for at least 15 seconds. Place it back and plug in the usb while

simultaneously holding the volume down button. You should see in research download that it has started

flashing! ( You can let go of the volume key now :P) When it is finished just press the stop button and

disconnect your phone! :victory:

Feel free to ask questions, but PLEASE don't quote this whole thing. Quote sections! :D

Cheers! :good:

Fail: Preserve Calibration fail (cannot find nv item in nv) What does it mean?

I just made up the PAC file with NV = mtd6.backupfixnv.yaffs2.img extracted from other phone (same model). This is what was supposed to be done isn't it? Is the error saying that I got a wrong nvitem file or something?

I couldn't extract nvitem.bin file so I just pointed it to the mtd6.backupfixnv.yaffs2.img file.

Thanks ...

Not working for Micromax Bolt A34

Here is what i had done:

1.Loaded all the required drivers which include com port driver,usb debug drivers.

2.Loaded .pac firmware file into research downloader,baud rate selected 115200, and in windows PORTS also.

3.Clicked on play button and pressed volume down (and up key - next time) button then plugged in the micro usb cable.

4.It start detecting two ports vendor specific and status changes to CHECKING BAUDRATE which never ends.

My device is just refusing BOOT after the BOLT logo.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] soko89:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ravage32:
Have you tried changing the budrate? For spreadtrum SP6820 the default is 115200 for other phones im not sure what i would be, have a go with different ones and see which ones work :) Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zacktamondo:
Help Me Please...

Can you please help me by any way to add a new language to the .pac file.

I couldn't decompile the system.img file which extracted from the official .pac file by Research Download.

I just want any way to edit the extracted system.img or a way to create a custom system.img.

Note: I have another .pac file contain the wanted language but it doesn't work on the device.

Thanks in advance :)

I'm trying to unbrick a chinese elitek f6658 device. The only rom i've found for this device is this Elitek f6658 .

There should be a .pac file in order to flash this but in the rom package i can't find any, only a .p5c file. Tried to extract all the files inside in order to create a .pac file as mentioned above, but i can't find 1-2 .img files that are needed for packaging and the result is an error when trying to load the packet file. Anyone have any idea how can i restore this chinese brick?

Make sure you have ALL the drivers installed correctly and that when u first connect it its showing up as somthing like "Spreadtrum phone" connected in your new devices popups. Probably good to restart the computer after you install the drivers. Are you using 64 or 32 bit? Ive had lots of troubles lately with 64bit windows 8 because drivers would not install because of signature verification. Works better on windows 7.

wrong driver?

Justasking,,#33,, you probably have wrong drivers,,

The right drivers can be hard to find, and often password protected with

a not obvious password

search for a string begining with SC7701 and 6(?) other cpu' s in the title

This is different driver than the sci one, the 4 devices are the clue

My sc7715 phone is 1782: ,,400d,.4001,,4002,, 4011,, 4012.. 5d20,, 5d21,, 5d03,, 5d24

from boot.img,,, init.scx15.usb.rc.. 4 pairs for 5 devices, ie mtp, mtp+adb,, ptp,ptp+adb,, etc

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------

I seem to remember that there is a 1K header to each element of a pac

That is,, the magic ANDROID is 1 K into the file

Does anyone know what is in this header?

8 cpu's,, SC7701-7702-7710G-7715-7730-8815-8830-9610-9620

It was twice as long, I edited the name down to a reasonable length

and removed spaces

Just to be clear, those numbers are usb ids,, example

$ lsusb |grep 178

Bus 004 Device 066: ID 1782:4012 Spreadtrum Communications Inc.

this is ptp+adb

I don't know how you find usb info in win, I'm sure there is a way
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wdthompson:
Drivers

Personally, I don't use windows unless I am forced to,

so this is of little interest to me. I have found that fastboot will flash

my True Smart 3.5 (2nd ver) SC7715 cpu (adb reboot bootloader; adb kill...; sudo fastboot ...)

But, many seem to be using the wrong drivers, they are hard to find

(and, annoyingly the zip or rar is often password protected, often hard or impossible to find pw)

The SCI driver seems to be common, but not right for 1782 devices (usb ID)

So the question is,,

Can I post an attachment of these 1782 drivers here?? 8.8M size
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wdthompson:
keywords Spreadtrum 7715 ,, True Smart Touch 3.5

Rooting around in the phone,...

root@hy602:/ # ls -l /system/etc/adb*

-rw-r--r-- root root 9474048 2015-03-31 05:38 adb.iso

These are the windows drivers, your phone may have also

But,, this a chicken and egg problem, how to pull adb.iso without working adb?

Maybe use a linux box? (be sure to update ini with 0x1782 or whatever)

ie

ls ~/.android/

adbkey adbkey.pub adb_usb.ini

>maybe u need to disable signed driver enforcement

Just doesn't seem to be here anymore

It's easy to tell, open inf file for drivers you are installing, you will

see the various VID/PID possibilities, what the driver is for

Then, in device manager check properties for the device, VID/PID can be found there

If there is not a match, then it's the wrong driver

Very interesting.

I have a weird issue on this and also a question?

How do you use the research etc...?

When you have no PAC ROM file of your phone?

When you can't pull the system over ADB commands, because of a vqe block?

What and how to do next?

I've contacted the company of kruger and matz ( a Polish company), they're not even willing to give me the PAC ROM files although i bought their phone,

A very unwilling cooperating company towards their customers when you ask me

Usually when you look for updates or for recovery software to recover your phone in case of malfunction, a company has a support page where you can download the recovery or update for your phone right?

So what am i gonna do now? without that PAC ROM file?
