Kernel request

Hi, I really appreciate your work on the rooted kitkat update and it worked for me like charm but i have been faceing some problems with Link2SD and ext4. Previously I was using Stock JB rooted and Link2SD with ext2. But after installing rooted updated. It doesnt seem to recognize ext2 so I moved to ext4, it worked however but it doesnt seem to link anything. like I can see its sd card 2nd partition memory but the linked apps are still on internal. I know this because I can't see any linked app after I reboot, I'm sorry I forgot to mention it asks to reboot after every link and when i reboot , i cant see or find any linked app. Also when I make the the mount ext3 instead of ext4; linked apps gets back and the 2nd sd partion memory shows "not mounted".

I cant find anything helpful but I am sure you are the only one could help.

Is there anyway to add ext2 support to kernel?

Something like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427307

I am on KITKAT ROOTED by you

Is there any way people can root kitkat beta official stock update?
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] arajanrai:
I have the same question is there any way to root the official kitkat because m using the same version
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] Tarun93:
the problem is we cant mount system n data partitions after KK update :( so thats a little tuff n BTW did you move the app to you sd card partion n then link it ?

:rolleyes:
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] arajanrai:
Yes i moved the apps to sd card and then linked them.. Then after reboot linked apps get uninstalled .... Actually before kk update my sd card supported sd-ext 3 partion but now it supports sd-ext 4 ..and even it does not work at all.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] adarshsamal:
I do agree

I do agree with you on mounting. I still believe its the kernal that lacks ext2 support which is essential I found that with "cat /proc/filesystems" It was also a Link2SD bug that didnt let sd to mount before but after fix arrive for kk it still has to have the same issue for us, like one post of there xda forum, link2sd couldn't work well when the system uses the same ext2,3,4 as that on sd 2nd part'. I think this the exact case here and I am heading back to jb after reading issues

its bug free but in any port rom you will face few problems from the stock rom n the AOSP rom has just one bug i was too lazy to remove the finger print sensor from the setting it wont work other then that you might just wanna flash a decent custom bootlogo you can get that easily then one in that is little too porty types :silly:

Fixing incorrect photo exif [camera FC fix]

First I want apologize admin for posting in this thread. I felt necessary because I believe this thread is only thread about XOLO Q700S on XDA and it's something most people asked me recently about custom firmware making their camera EXIF something plenty undesirable. I hopefully look forward to Admin adding these/em to this thread.

So it's about XOLO Q700s and the people with SONY sensor, that added later to the XOLO Q700s series and lost the actual camera support shipped w/ previous ROM and that was a worstcase scenario. But lucky enough to say we should thank Admin for getting ahead bringing a fix for the people having rare camera issues after flashing its official and very first ROM of this phone. And whoever did that I am sure has noticed a strange change in camera photo info (EXIF) looking like this below:

Which should be like this:

So this happens to be caused by flashing

camera FC fix using any recovery.

So if you want to change your Camera EXIF Model and Maker to its stock form, all you need to do is to replace,

libcameracustom.so from /System/lib and this is only for Jelly Bean Android OS of this phone [Need you to be rooted]

THIS FILE:

View attachment 2864943

After done replacing make sure you change the file permission like this one here

And done. Just reboot your device and take a picture to see the change.

I have updated on the beta KitKat update but now it won't root through framaroot... Plz help
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] kibong27:
I rooted my KK using spf tools.

First: put any scatter files and uncheck all the boxes except for the recovery.img (note: make sure that you replace the stock recovery.img in the scatter folder with the recovery.img of a cwm recovery)

Second: press download and wait until it finish downloading.

Now you have a custom recovery even if you are not rooted

Then flash a supersu.zip file (sorry i cant attached the file cause i formated my sdcard).

Thats what i did in rooting the KK.

[Xolo Q700, Q700i] balamu96m:
Simple way to flash Kitkat & root it (no need to flash stock recovery, use cwm):

1.Download 392.8 mb update.zip (here: http://d-h.st/MfB)

2.Unzip it, goto META-INF/com/google/android and replace the 'updater-script' with the one attached.

3. Now zip it back, and flash it with cwm, carliv etc...

4.To root it, download & flash SuperSu via cwm (here: http://goo.gl/OSKQRQ)

[Xolo Q700, Q700i] balamu96m:
I guess, your problem would be in zipping after replacing the updater script......just come back to the unziped folder (with has folders like META-INF, system etc).....just select all the files & folders in it -> add to archive -> (make sure compression level is set to normal) create zip.....

now flash it with cwm.......
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] Tarun93:
make sure you flash the stock JB flash CTR n then flash the KK update via CTR only :good:
