The Rom by miljenko doesn't flash any lk.bin, so if the rom from needrom doesn't work, the rom of mikjenko won't work either. I wanted to upgrade to KitKat too, but we have to use jellybean.

I don't think, that any lollipop rom will be released or ported to our device.

[Android General] jarvis37:
Ok, but i must resign? I don't believe that is impossible find a 4.4 kitkat rom for this device :/

or is it so? it's impossible? :(
[Android General] susch19:
The big problem are the display drivers stored on lk.bin

The jellybean version is incompatible with KitKat and only the w200c has official KitKat and this phone uses a new Display.

Emoji Google Keyboard

Hi everyone :) Just a quck question:

Could someone tell me if it is possible to implement the emoji in google keyboard?

I know that you can download other keyboards, but I would like to know if you can use this keyboard in particular with the emoji... :(

Can you implement the emoji with a flash installer or maybe with installing a specific apk?

Thanks ;)
[Android General] sam tyler:
New screen turned up yesterday got it to fit, touchscreen works but I lost the use the kk Rom (dark screen) had to install a stock Rom to use the phone.so it's back to j.b. until I get a kk phone or I find a kk Rom that works with a older style screen(which I think I was sent)
[Android General] sam tyler:
After a few days with the new touch screen, found my proximity sensor died,(so when I use the dialer it goes dark and stays dark so I have to pull the battery), and I kept losing sound and it no longer vibrates also made sure the ribbons for the screen were in the right place. find my the ROM that came with the phone(via mtk droid tools) and that cured those problems but now I have no signal but now sometimes the screen doesn't respond. So its back to the old faithful w100 (with a xperia style ROM) till i find an answer to my phones problems or buy a new phone. starting to go right off mtk phones....

It appears the message "connecting" and never connect but when I use the wifi everything works fine. Its the only thing that works bad in a phone that has worked very fine to me. Other apps like facebook, google search and outlook works fine with the 3G, until know this happens just with whatsapp and facebook messenger.

Where to download THL W200s Android 5.0 firmware?
[Android General] miljenko:
Nowhere !!!!!!!!!!! No lollipop for 32bit MTK, officially MTK have released Lollipop SDK for they new 64bit line of processors and producers are testing software, for sure MTK6752 will receive new android.
[Android General] miljenko:
Sorry this was loooonnnggg time ago, I will check in my Yandex folder if I'm have it. After second screen change I have decided not to repair my w200s anymore, it is too expensive.

[Android General] miljenko:
I was wrong completely. It seems that some producers have released Lollipop firmwares for they MT6582 phones. For sure there will be (is) Lollipop for 6592.
[Android General] susch19:
But not for our phone :(

We don't have a working KitKat, because of the different lcd drivers and the firmware support of thl isn't that good. My next phone will be an elephone, because they release official custom roms like cm, miui, emui and many others.

I forgot to mention the 6582 (why is this processor that good supported?)

If you like to buy something new from China, buy Xiaomi. There are cheap good models worth money. Last November I have given up my W200s and bought Huawei P7. Now I have iOcean M6752 Rock and Huawei P7 is still better phone. 5,5" is too much for my hands.
[Android General] susch19:
Xiaomi is to expensive for me (snapdragon model) and I often don't like the look of the phone. The phones are the best you can get, when you need performance and support etc.

Huawei is no more china for me, because to many people have Huawei phones. They have too much I won't need (sensors)

Thl has very cheap models, but you get, what you pay for. Elephone or other manufacturers in the mid range market have better support and again you get for what you pay for.

For me there is just too much choice, so you can say xy has the best support, but xz has better looking phones and so on.

Heating problem

As you write Miljenko, i've this exact problem !

I've change the screen of my W200s and since then it's hot, just in this spot ! causing freezing my phone :(

What should i do ?

Thanks for helping me !
[Android General] miljenko:
Could be that you have not assembled phone properly, or firmware is not compatible and some process is keeping processor on 100% load. Try to reinstall firmware and see what will happen.
[Android General] thejim69:
I don't think I've assembled it wrong :). I've check it 10 times ...

About the firmware, I've the stock ROM. I've flash it through flash tool. I've try through recovery mode, wipe it, and flash the phone again. still the same

May be I do it wrong ?
[Android General] thejim69:

I tried to flash with a ROM .... And it wasn't the good one :(

Now I've this message (even worse)

Instructions?

I know that somewhere in this endless thread there are instructions somewhere but I can't seem to find them. If there aren't can someone elaborate? It's the first time I'll try to flash a ROM to my phone, so I really don't know what to do with the flashtool and what recovery is, but I really like to have root access, something that's impossible with my current ROM. If someone can just point me to the said comment I will be grateful. Thanks in advance. Sorry for being a total noob but everyone has to start from somewhere. :confused:
[Android General] mpapado:
I have a THL W200S in my hands and I wanted to put a custom ROM.

After placed the zipped ROM on the phone and enter Recovery, I then did a Wipe Data / Factory Reset but the phone stuck.

From that time when I poweron it shows the welcome boot screen and then an empty screen.

I have tried the ROM from first post but the SP Flash tool don't want to proceed. Once I choose the scatter file it gives me an error "BROM ERROR : S_DL_LOAD_REGION_IS_OVERLAP (5016)"

Any ideas how to make the phone functional again?

Replace Screen :

I think im going to attempt to fix the screen, Im running CM11 RoM - Will I need to flash phone again??? Reason I ask is my computer has some troubles at the moment.
[Android General] mpapado3:
I have a W200S, after a fell from the stairs the screen started to flicker.

I changed the ROM and then it was working fine for a few weeks, but then it started to turn off unexpectantly and it was taking way too long (+12hours) to charge.

Finally now it won't turn on.

I bought a new battery but the result is the same. It doesn't turn on.

When I plug it on the computer the it recognize it as Vendor OE8D communication and the flash tools are not seeing it at all in order to flash a new ROM.

Is there any way that I can save te phone?
[Android General] mpapado3:
Now I have tried it on another pc and it make this repeat beeping sound when a device is connected and disconnected from the system.

It just don't stops.

Even without the battery keeps making the same.

Is there any idea of how to save it?

I can open it to check if there is anything broken internally, but I need a guide in order not to break anything.
[Android General] mpapado3:
I have found a video on how to disassemble the phone and opened it.

There was nothing broken inside and the all the connectors were properly placed on the board.

Only think that worried me was on the back of the board on the place were the usb connector is, there is a piece that can be lifted (the one on the picture that I have marked) and I don't know if this is good or not.

Has anyone tried this and did he noticed if this is moving?
[Android General] Fawad90:

Faulty power switch

Dear all, I'm new in this thread.

When the W200S was new I bought several W200S (156D) in China and gave to friends. Now I have one of them here that had a broken digitizer.

No problem, I bought a new front for it and did the "surgery" to change it. It went well I thought but, big but, the power button doesn't work after the surgery.

I can't wake it up or start it from the power button.

The phone and the screen works in that way that I can start it in recovery (volume - and then plug in a USB to a computer). I can also flash the stock firmware to it with SP_Flash_Tool. I have measured on the power switch with a multimeter and it works.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and what to do?

EDIT:

Problem solved! It was the power button flex cable. The phone works fine again. :)

You cannot activate whole "Developer menu" with build.prop editing, but some options can be activated (under the hood) by adding build.prop lines. For example to use graphic chip for 2D drawing or similar. I will upload some ported ROM with full developer menu. Probably from Newman K18 since it is closes to stock Google Vanilla experience

I cant wait for this. Do you know any good tutorial for porting roms? Ive found some, but they are not that great, because they say, you need a device with same cpu, gpu, camera and so on from which you want to port the rom...

before flashing another rom please do and share a backup of yours with mtkdroidtools

can you tell us how efficient is it with battery consumption? I have the other rom and it drains too quickly

Since 6am I lost 50%. I listened to music for about 2hours, have done a little bit internet surfing, made some photos, played some games and I forgot to turn on flight mode while i was in school, because I have no cell phone reception in there. Wlan was enabled the hole time.

Lenovo already released 4.4 kitkat for S939 which is MTK6592 phone and many people (including me) are trying to port it to different devices. I have unpack it and I have problems to create correct flash script. I think that other vendors will follow very soon. But this was mentioned before in this thread.
[Android General] miljenko:
You are wrong, Mediatek released SDK 19 (Kitkat) and Lenovo use it first.
[Android General] susch19:
I searched on google today and found nothing like this. I just found leaked version for dual and quad core devices.
[Android General] miljenko:
First real KitKat for MTK devices is released by Lenovo as they VibeUI 1.5 firmware, and you can look at it here http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-s939-vibeui/

Or check lenovo bbs for more details. Also this firmware is distributed as OTA to S939 devices. Actually file on needrom is captured OTA from this device. Ota is checking for build.prop within factory recovery and according to the device ID from it allowing flashing. If somebody share recovery of S939 I would change it to work on our devices and flash this firmware just as a joke.

as far as I know there are already three versions of stock jb:

ThL.W200S.156D .A1.JB9.HD.EN. 8P256.OV8825.M T6592GW.20140218

ThL.W200S.156D .A1.JB9.HD.EN. 8P256.OV8825.M T6592GW.2014022

The dates at least are different in the name, the one thl sent you is the third one

ThL.W200S.156D .A1.JB9.HD.EN. 8P256.OV8825.M T6592GW.2014021

this last one is what I have in my phone, there maybe slight differences in the three of them ... I have had extremely bad results with battery duration, maybe there is some minor change responsible for the problem ...

today I have made a factory reset, I will see if this changes, if not, I may try your rom

by the way, the recovery I made with cwm failed to restore properly, are carliv or twr more reliable doing this task?

How about that, lets try to solve problem as community? VibeUI firmware will be also uploaded.

With the W200, you can't use the headset button to pause/play a song or to answer/hang up a call. What about the W200S?

Another issue with the W200 was the camera getting disconnected (which was a physical problem), has anybody experienced the 'can't connect to the camera' problem?

When the portet Rom has extended developer options, I would prefer the portet Rom. Maybe Android 4.4 will be portet successfully to our devices ,that would be perfect.
[Android General] mingo1976:
thanks miljenko for your work.

for final release remember to fix notification led and it will be perfect. (fix is the same used for w200)

Stock rom had big bug in BT transfer files, now it works.

I also changed fonts, read/write of sdcard to 2048, changed xperia keyboard with LG one and set dpi to 280 and now ROM is PERFECT.

Personally developer options are useless except for debug one. If you need it's full of tutorial to mod system.apk (just copy and paste from other apk)

I advise to anyone to NOT activate notifications led, it drains the battery keeping the proccesor from going to deep sleep, tried button led and w200 method with same result, now I have restored it and battery consumption is quite good, I share a graph from another user that gave me the clue about battery draining

Hi

Has anyone tested if both sim slots are compatible with 3G communications?

Or is it that only the slot 1 is compatible like most dual sim devices?

Thats correct, you only have to change it in settings. The sim card you are using for video call is automatically the card for 3G.
