Hello miljenko,

First of all, needless to say, THANK YOU for all of this work you're sharing with us.

I have finally had some time to play around with the phone, which I have had for a week with the stock ROM (good but, I would say, not great). Today I downloaded both of yours - the Vanilla one and the Minimal one. Tried the Minimal one first and it f-- FLIES. Seriously, it is blazing fast and really fluid.. HOWEVER.. and this is a big problem for me... the AOSP Keyboard keeps FCing every few seconds. I have it set to Spanish, no other languages - the phone itself is in English (US). That's just how I like to use it.

The FCs start when I set the keyboard to Spanish - when it is (by default) in English, it runs smoothly. But I do need the Spanish keyboard for the extra characters! This ROM scores a little lower than the stock one in Antutu, but I really don't mind - it's fast as hell in normal use. I would love to keep it but the keyboard issue is a show-stopper, I am afraid...

The other ROM (Vanilla) does not have the same problem, it is also fast but not as much, I think - even though, again, it scores a little higher in Antutu. In any case, just to see what happened, I saved (what I think was) the APK file for the keyboard using one of those "APK extractor" apps from Vanilla and then installed Minimal again, renamed the LatinIME.apk system app file so it would not find it (it disappeared from the Input Methods menu) and then placed my extracted APK in that folder, but it did not pick it up - MIND YOU, I have no idea how Android works, just enough to be dangerous :rolleyes:. I even tried renaming it to LatinIME.apk, again no luck. So I tried installing it next, as if it was a regular user application - it offered me to UPDATE the system app - but it could not perform the update for some reason. I restored the original keyboard APK (started getting FCs again) and then tried the update again, no luck - so I am stuck.

Sorry about the rambling post but it'd be great if someone here could tell me of a way to fix the FCing keyboard - and, again, please do not take any of this as criticism, not for a minute - your work is great! :good::D
[Android General] miljenko:
Yes, your are right some languages removed. I will make flashable full keyboard but once I have access to my computer (I'm out of home without computer).
[Android General] naddmian:
Cool, thank you very much!:good:
[Android General] naddmian:
Adding this in case it helps as well, Xposed v2.2 did not work for me on Minimal - it just gets stuck at the ANDROID logo right after the 'ThL' splash screen. Hopefully I'll be able to go into CWM and use the 'DisableXposed' ZIP file...

Edit: OK this is a BAD THING. I am not even able to go into Recovery :0 it just turns itself right off when I choose to do so.

Edit: ADB does seem to be picking it up even though it does not go past the 'ANDROID' logo screen. I was able to open a shell, hope I can somehow get this working again...

Edit: F*CK YEAH -- I touch'd /data/xposed/disabled from adb shell, rebooted and it's back. That was a close one. Going to see whether recovery works now. [Five minutes later...] Recovery works again as well. Whew.

Boot logo and animation

miljenko

Would it possible to replace the boot logo and boot animation for the one of the T100S?

I like that one better....

Got my phone now for almost 48 hours...

I really happy with the devices, mine and my wifes...

All is working fine....

Something worrys me a bit... but is to soon to tell

I booted the phone for the 1st time yesterday [thrusday] at 10 am.

The battery was about 70%. Run all the tests, benchmarks, GPS test, Video calls, Youtube, WIFI all day...

By dinner time the battery was less than 15%, and i had to charge it... Reached 100% and lasted untill a couple hours ago [friday] with no tests just a regular usage... Still dont know how to read this...

Lets see tomorrow how does the battery works... of 2000 mAh not 1800 as i seen in a few shops

Notest also that while runing the 3DMARK benchmark, the phone heated a little in the area of the camera/sim slots...

Didn't happend on any other test/benchmark, and to be fair by the time the phone ran the 3DMARK test, had already ran Antutu and Velamo... All in the 1st hour since it booted...

Overall, still a very good phone and also very cheap

PS: I really need to recover a video file 3GP. If you have any tips for me, please pm
[Android General] climjr:
Got the same battery problem. [MENTION=5794468]solojoe[/MENTION], did you got any solution for this? is it a firmware problem or hardware?
[Android General] drony2005:
If ye port from MIUI? For example, the smartphone Xiaomi REDME Note on MTK6592 or equivalent for this phone.
[Android General] susch19:
That's interesting, because Xposed is pre installed and works fine for me on minimal Rom. I had this issue only with the stock Rom and solved it with flashing the stock Rom again with SPFlashtool.

[Android General] naddmian:
Preinstalled? :rolleyes:Hahahah I'm loving this. It might very well be the case, this kind of thing happens to me often... I will take a closer look.
[Android General] susch19:
I don't get it, maybe I have a different humor ;D

I just flashed minimal Rom, started Xposed and activated it. Restarting and I was happy. Don't know what happened to your device.

Gesendet von meinem W200s mit Tapatalk
[Android General] naddmian:
Which version of the Xposed framework/installer did you use?
[Android General] Dany96:
I need to restore IMEIs on NVRAM. So if I haven't a backup of the ROM is it impossibile to recover them? I tried IMEI&SN Writer and SN station tool but they didn't work...
[Android General] susch19:
Framework was installed already. I just started and enabled it.

[Android General] solojoe:
switched back to vanilla, never saw it again. So I'd go with firmware. Vanilla's Battery life: 43hrs 27mins total (7hrs 2 mins screen time) either wifi or data on whole way, so stickin with this for now. Was arsin' about with schedulers in set cpu when it happened. Also, for those interested, tried the build.prop framecap removal.. no go, seems it only allows the cap to go beyond 60fps, and only if the cap is software, lookin like it's a kernel change. As acidspunk pointed out, over at AA they have the epic citadel crankin' out 58.2fps, so it can be done. Apparently they're on the stock latest ending in 2014021, available in first post, flash with sp tools only.

Can anyone make a flashable of this through recovery? havin an issue with the mt65xx preloader driver on win 7, so can't get it flashed. would really appreciate it.
[Android General] acidspunk:
It's no use, solojoe. I already tried flashing it and it still had the 45fps cap. I guess the phone they got at android authority had a different kernel or something.
[Android General] climjr:
Try using MTK Engineering Mode (can be download on Playstore).

1. Open MTK Engineering Mode

2. MTK Settings

3. Go to Connectivity

4. CDS Information

5. Radio Information

6. Input imei number (imei at the back of your phone)

AT+EGMR=1,7,"for the first imei number" then click SEND AT COMMAND and click Done at the keyboard

AT+EGMR=1,10,"for the second imei number" then click SEND AT COMMAND and click Done at the keyboard

7. Reboot

there have been problems related to the proximity sensor

are they solved with vannila or minimal?

what about thl are they going to offer any updates?

and what about 4.4 android on 6592
[Android General] Goregr:
did you read the posts here and found that there are posts about proximity sensor ? I dont think so.

So if you have a faulty phone , you should post them back and ask for a fix or a replacement.
[Android General] nick146:
Please can I upload the boot animation on Google Pandawill edition that was put on the vanilla?

[Android General] crwm74b4x:
This procedure does not write the info on the NVRAM partition, but just on data partition so this is not a permanent solution.

At the moment I didn't find any solution to rewrite NVRAM partition without the MtkDroid Backup.

If anyone found a solution, please share it.

Thank you.
[Android General] astrah5:
Dear friend there are post about proximity sensor and we now the procedure for faulty phones . from what we have conclude is that the calibration is lost every time the phone restarts with the fast boot on. No hardware problem but a software one i think. the friend above asks if there's a similar problem in vanilla or other custom rom from someone who has the same problem. dont be so critical with your comments.

the proximity sensor has been reported

here in the above post but also in our own greek forum from members

Anyone having the bluetooth problem? just bluetooth

the gps /bluetooth problem has been reported and its known issue not resolved!

thats a problem!

and of course battery drain is more

[MENTION=3095368]Goregr[/MENTION]

There reports as you can see

and we should have them resolved dont you think so?

I hope you dont have a problem with the proximity or other problems in general

[MENTION=1748915]miljenko[/MENTION]

i have asked for 4.4 cwm backup in the 939 lenovo thread

Thanks
[Android General] Goregr:
How many people have this phone and how many are those who have problem with proximity ?????

You found only 1 person right ?

And you think that the w200s is a problematic device ?

There is No general problem with w200s about proximity.

There might be a small faulty number of devices , but in general ThL w200s proximity is working as it should be.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

If there was a software problem ALL people should have report it .....

If you have a problem it is hardware.

Its sooooo simple.

I am not critical. I just say the truth. And the truth is that you have a hardware problem if you say proximity doesnt work.

Its not software problem , if you use stock rom and proximity is faulty then its hardware and you should stop asking for a fix because there is no fix.
[Android General] pareisaktos:
it's not 1 person. I have also read in other forums that some people (over 10 occasions) have this problem with the proximity sensor. It seems that it is a software problem. The sensor doesnt work after a restart (it needs calibration again) but it works after a turn off. You think that this can be a hardware problem?
[Android General] miljenko:
I would like to help you but I don't have any kind of problem with proximity, and will not believe what I was doing to my W200s. There is no general problem with proximity sensor. Could be that some people have this problem, but on xda W200s thread you are second person complaining about this. User before you had this problem only on my Zopo minimal port, not on stock or other ported firmwares. If you have this problem on stock rom, try to remove screen protector and check again.
[Android General] kW_:
Hi, i want to buy this phone, but i have an important question(for me :D).

Usually i play with emulators and the question is, does the 45Hz screen refresh rate gives any bad effect if i want to use epxse or any other emulators?

Somebody can test that for me?
[Android General] susch19:
I tested ppsspp and drastic and both are working fine and my eye doesn't recognize any problems with the 45hz. I will test epsxe soon (in about 10 hours you will hear from me). Any game suggestions?

Gesendet von meinem W200s mit Tapatalk
[Android General] acidspunk:
That's because they're using frameskip. Try retroarch and you'll see a real problem. I really hope this is fixable. Everything else about this phone is amazing.
[Android General] susch19:
I turned frameskip off by both emulator.

[Android General] papados:
With the stock rom?
[Android General] miljenko:
Xposed is not working with the stock ROM (maybe latest Xposed is working but I have not tried it).
[Android General] papados:
Thanks for your answer.

I don't want to make the "experiment" if xposed work in stock rom beacuse i'm rookie and i'm afraid to brick my phone.

Maybe is more easy to use your Vanilla rom, (but i'm afraid too:o)
[Android General] solojoe:
As miljenko said, not a hardware problem. Only exists on the Zopo Minimal rom, and even on that, it registers, just doesn't perform any actions, ie: turning off screen during calls etc. Not present on other roms or stock as stated. On a side note though, got that battery drain on the vanilla rom as well, 45% battery left, played dungeon defenders: second wave, 5 mins in, low battery warning. Checked Cpu after closin game, and it was blazin' all 8 cores @ 1.7ghz, 95% cpu load, with some serious heat between the sims, like the game just loaded the processor, wouldn't shut them down. I'm certain this is a software issue with the hot plug governor, would be safe to say there's very little, if any, software optimized for octa-core, no issues with any other games. All the Gta's run great, I'm on that S4 like rom (Mlais OS) now.

Can anyone else who's had this problem detail the circumstances around which it happened?

In regards retroarch, you can force 60hertz in settings>display>force refresh rate, tesed psx neon, runs balls with refresh @ 45, to be expected, smooth, no audio scratching or skipping with 60hertz forced. Same for pretty much anything else, pce, snes, md etc. Still though, I'm with acidspunk on this one, would really like to see the phone unlocked to 60fps.
[Android General] acidspunk:
Wow thanks. Will try this. :highfive:
[Android General] susch19:
Stock rom doesn't start after installing xposed. You have to install zopo or one of the other Roms.

Gesendet von meinem W200s mit Tapatalk
[Android General] kW_:
So, there is no problem with the 45Hz, that's nice.
[Android General] solojoe:
ngseeq early

No prob, it's simulated 60fps, like auto frameskip, but plays fine (settings>video>forced refresh rate)
[Android General] astrah5:
With wich one, sp flash tool or TWRP are you flashing new roms (vanilla ,minimal zopo )

Στάλθηκε από το ThL W200S μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Android General] acidspunk:
There is. The screen refresh rate is 45hz. It doesn't show in some games and emulators but it will be a problem in others. It would be nice if they just changed the screen to 60hz. The phone would be pretty much perfect then imo.

[MENTION=5794468]solojoe[/MENTION] I can't seem to be able to make the overlay controls show in retroarch. Did you also have this problem? 0.o
[Android General] solojoe:
I did :) go to settings>input>input overlay, open the gamepads directory, and select your fancy.
[Android General] Goregr:
Yes its hardware.

Stop loosing your time and realise the truth.
[Android General] solojoe:
ectasai often

Some may be hardware, in my case it was software. If you can't calibrate it, or you try and test it in engineering mode and it fails, this is most likely hardware. If you try a new rom, and it is not responding, but tests show it working fine, this is most likely software. I have had no further issues with the proximity sensor, although I have read the issues surrounding it (Not working after restart, turning off screen during call, but not coming back on until call finished). As I say though, if you test in engineering mode, and it doesn't fail, that's a software issue.
[Android General] astrah5:
Problem solved with my hammer dear fellow Greek! Just kidding ! Because you said with passion that was a hardware problem i was about to send my phone back to china. Thanks #solojoe for the advise i just download an app from playstore called MTK engineering mode i did i calibration with this app and now MY proximity sensor works properly . no matter if fast boot is on or if i turned off phone with restart or power off selection. I even removed battery . Maybe it was fixed with gods help.

Hi all,

I have read this thread but probably i missed the required info i need to make me buy this device.

Can we have 3G in both sim slots, i mean not at the same time, but does it support 3G on both sim slots, and the change of the 3G provider is made via software?

Thks
[Android General] susch19:
Yes, you only have to change it in settings, which sim card should be used for 3g. No need to change phisically.

[Android General] hdsousa:
Thanks so much!

Gonna proceed to checkout :)

By tha way, some basic questions:

1º - For those who use Whatsapp and Viber how does the software works with Dual Sim? Im asking this cause the registration of the Apps is based on a cell number, if we have two number in the phone, is this transparent for the apps? i.e if i have registered my account i can be using both sims, switching between them for the data, and both apps will work as if there was just one phone number?

2º - Is it possible to associate contacts to SIM's? for default calling and SMS?

3º - Any existing problem with the original ROM? or changing for Vanilla for example is just a matter of taste and extra functionality?

4º - Is it necessary to make the GPS fix on this MKT chip, or it is already solved the GPS problem? I will be using allot the GPS for driving, and this is one of the reasons i am still looking for the best option.

Thanks a lot.
[Android General] Panick_mg:
This site is to help each other to have better functionality on our devices, chill out guys.

Mod Edit...English only on this site.
[Android General] satiros:
1)i dont use whatsapp but viber has to use a number to register but on the other hand up to point you can use viber because you are registered on the net NOt the sim

2)probably it is but why its no hassle to copy the contacts to the phone

3) we change fro extra functionality and taste battery drain for example

4)there is no need to fix the gps it works if it works .

5)if you plan to drive and gps and use bluetooth there have beeing reports that you can communicate due to device problem

if i helped hit thanks

dont worry

we are relaxed and we have stopped
[Android General] Panick_mg:
For whasapp and viper you going to have a conflict, I have tried it and every time I verify one sim card the programs ask to verify the second one, this programs works only with one sim card.

The stock rom is great no problem at all but is very plain if you want more customizable options you have to install a custom one.

About the gps I have never had any problem, I use a lot the sygic and everything is perfect.
[Android General] vanessaem:
Thread cleaned.

Please be respectful of one another. Hopefully, I won't have to come back in here to do this again.

Carry on...
[Android General] hdsousa:
1) This is what i though, but seems that Panick_mg has a different opinion.

2) I dont mean to have contacts in the SIM Card, i have all my contacts on Google. What i mean is if we can associate contacts to a SIM card, i.e. to call a specific contact via a default SIM, etc...

The GPS+Bluetooth topic is a problem indeed. I workl a lot in the car, and i will need in fact GPS and Bluetooth working. Damm again ... why cant i find a nice working Dual Sim phone. But is this a Software topic, is it solved in a custom ROM, or still no ideas on the problem?

What do you mean by verify one SIM? I am expecting to have whatsapp running verified with one of the sims (may be inserting just one on the first boot), configure all the phone and apps, and only at the end insert the second sim. What i hope is that those Apps stay verified with the first SIM, and ignore the fact i change 3G SIM to have internet. I will never remove the first SIM that i used for validation, that is why i am also looking for a Dual Sim, without the need to change position of SIMs to change 3G supplier.

Do you have the problem with the combo GPS+Bluetooth?
[Android General] satiros:
yes you can associate contact with sim

gps bluetooth is major dissapointment i didnt know when i ordered

it haunts the phone from w200 and they said it carried on to this one

im a road warrior and travel a lot around my country and always have to make calls

in viber you just get an sms thats all you dont need sims to have viber

just net and where it comes from simwise doesnt matter
[Android General] naddmian:
Hello, just a couple of hopefully-related comments:

- I was using Minimal ROM until today (very good!) and can confirm that there is a problem with the proximity sensor, the screen does not turn off when the phone is held to the face. It does not particularly affect me as I do not talk on the phone that much, stupid as that might sound. Still I do understand that it is a pretty central issue.

- I installed Vanilla again, with the intention of giving it a test drive, good impression so far, quite fast and everything appears to work - only glitches I have noticed thus far is that the 'Battery' option in the Settings panel FCs on me when I try to open it - no big deal but it is a bit annoying. In any case, I installed Epic Citadel and got almost 60 FPS on average, which I thought was quite great. Visually of course it also looked impressive - although the back of the phone did get quite hot. Could it actually be damaged this way? I only left it for a few minutes. I see you guys are discussing framecaps & etc. this was without having done anything - it did not look as though there was any cap on anything, to me (never been a gamer though so big grain of salt there...).

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Also something else, I've been trying to do full charge-discharge cycles these days and I have noticed that if I let the battery die completely and then connect the phone to my PC (has happened with both home and work PCs), for the first few minutes it goes into a strange charge-off-charge-off-charge-off loop. That is, the 'charge' screen with the battery appears, stays on for a few seconds, then it appears to shut down. Then the screen comes up again, few seconds, turns off again. If I look at Windows' Device Manager while this is happening I can see the 'Preloader' device appearing and disappearing. It makes me kind of nervous as this cannot be good for the phone.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Android General] Panick_mg:
What I mean is that you can only verify one sim card to whatsapp if you try to verify the second one after you already verified to the first one every time you restart your phone it will ask to verify the previous one that's what happened to me the same with viper, I don't known if I did something wrong.
