Some apps and games still force close on edited rom from [MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] !?

Im just runned Modern Combat 5 on this device.

You need (ROOT ONLY):

1.) MicroSD Class 10 memory card(recommend)

2.) Roehsoft RAM Expander(SD-Booster to se is cache changed at 4096)

3.) Game wich require more than 512RAM

How to:

1.)Open Roehsoft RAM Expander and set:

a.)SwpFile = 1000(you dont need more)

b.)Swappiness=100

c.)MinFreeKB=30MB

2.)Swap file will be created on memory card and if you are downloaded SD-Booster from google play open him and check is the cache memory "4096", if it now reactivate swap file.

3.)Enjoy your game.

I did it in this old post. You'll only need the last two modules because services.jar is already patched.

[MENTION=6200942]PieroV[/MENTION], thanks man. I know it is a very hard work and Linux ia huge monolithic piece of software. University is a ***** too, a beautiful one. [MENTION=634158]Lyrics11[/MENTION] I definitely did not configure supercharger for playing. I did the opposite, multitasking. Still, you can configure it to do almost every tweak you mention except the creation of a swap file.

[General Questions and Answers] :
Until now I don't know anyone downgrading succesfully the whole firmware. But not everything is lost, there are some things you can still do, however, almost everything relays on root privileges and fastboot tool.

1. You can extract system from your old firmware and flash it to your phone using fastboot.

2. You can get a nandroid backup from someone with your old firmware and restore it to your phone.

3. You can share your bad experience with us and see if we can help you solve those problems you have with that rogue firmware.

[MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] I fixed force closing with this swap file, its really use swpfile for virtual memory, but my memory card is now really damaged.

The is a way for downgrade software with 3 tools.

What you need:

You need unlocked bootloader!

1.) Download rom which one you want!

2.)Download Huawei Rom Extractor(in attachment)!

3.)Download fastboot(in attachment)!

4.)Download and install ActivePerl!

How to:

NOTE: IF YOU MAKE MISSTAKE YOU CAN BRICK THE PHONE AND IM NOT RESPONSABLE, DO NANDROID BACKUP AFTER DOING ANYTHING!!!

1.) Downloader rom (UPDATE.APP) put in Huawei Rom Extractor folder.

2.)After you puted "UPDATE.APP in folder you first run "split_updata" and it will create "output" folder with extracted files(It script will not work without ActivePerl installed on your computer.)

3.)After "split_updata" finished you need to run "HuaweiFinder" script and it will compile "system.img" and "boot.img", you need cut or copy "boot.img"(18mgb) and "system.img"(1gb img file) in fastboot folder.

4.)Reboot your device into bootloader(holding Vol- and power button)

5.)Open fastboot and device will automatically connect on pc.

6.)Now you need type in fastboot without quotes:"fastboot erase system system.img" and "fastboot erase boot boot.img"

7.)Now in fastboot you type without quotes"fastboot flash system system.img" and "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

8.)And now you are downgraded your have rom.

Thanks!

Problem CWM

Hi,

I have a problem with restoring a nandroid backup.

When CWM tries to restore /system is gives an error "rror while restoring /system".

And to fix that i have to flash my stock ROM again via UPDATE.APP on my SD-Card and pushing al the buttons.

I made the nandroid backup with CWM, and i think that is th right way?

But when I trie to restore my device, it won't do it.

Does anyone have a clue what is wrong?

BTW: Device is rooted, bootloader unlocked en CWM flashed.

But, when i fail the restore thingy via CWM, it asks me to root when I want to reboot the system. Is this normal?
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi, could you either try to copy the log to sd card (in Advanced mode) or copy it using adb (adb pull /tmp/recovery.log somepathinyourcomputer) and then attach it please?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Sounds to me like an incomplete backup. Did you restore before and it was working? What's the size of backup folder? Did you perform this backup?

I created a swap partition just in case a long time ago. After you came with that app that activates a swap file into sdcard I remembered my swap partition. So, I implemented a script that runs at boot to activate my swap partition and it works really good. The problem is that I expect an sdcard failure but not as soon as you report. Maybe is better to create a swap parrtition and a script that runs whenever we want with Script Manager or Command Runner. But there is another downside when you try to deactivate swap with swapoff system gets too laggy.

To extract original Huawei ROM's system and boot images you can use too Huawei update extractor, it is more user friendly.
[General Questions and Answers] Kombuk:
I have one question. If I flash centsoarers modded rom can i flash telenor stock rom after that for warranty.
[General Questions and Answers] japstar:
That information is lost with the re-installation of the stock rom, but I'll do it again. So then you can maybe tell what the problem is. Maybe other users have the same problem

Update:

I looked over the code myself, and i think i screwed up because i renamed the folder of the backup, to name with the build and date of the phone. I'm now testing with keeping the orignal name of the backup folder given by cwm, and I'll see how it goes from there

Update 2:

I think that was the fault, now I can restore the backup that i just made :)

Anyway, thanks for the offer for help ;)
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
I've finally found out the kernel revision which Huawei kernel is based on: it's LNX.LA.3.5-05011-8x10.0, released in November 26, 2013.

There are very few differences, and most of them are indicated as Huawei's.

I've been starting applying the patch to the lastest Kitkat kernel available for MSM8x10: LNX.LA.3.5.1-09810-8x10.0.

Some parts are quite difficult to understand: camera, touchpad and charger because Huawei changed so much things!

There is another difficult part: thermal sensor, because of this patch: https://github.com/olivieer/kernel_msm/commit/91c33c921a6af6fc942293480073c3aa6a7ea578 .

I've been working very hard and I've patched most of the drivers directory, but I haven't patched video directory, yet, which will cause lots of troubles for sure.

At the moment we don't have a boot image to test: charger doesn't compile, the rest compiles but there are linking problems that won't be solved until most of the kernel will be patched...

Mine knowledge scripting for android is very low, can you send or publish that script and way how to make boot with system?

SwpFile is very buggy, when i want to deactivate him i need to press 5 or 6 times to swapoff to deactivate, but device become laggy if when you disable perfect kernel.

But with ur modded rom i runned a lot games like: Modern Combat 5, Dead Space, Ravensword,Oddworld Stranger, Galaxy on Fire 2 HD...
[General Questions and Answers] :
You'll need to partition your sdcard. If you use Link2SD, which I would recommend since you play games with your phone, then you need a partition to send your apk and odex files. Then it comes one third partition that you can use as Linux swap.

As Y530 recognizes External SD as mmcblk1, you'll end up with a SD scheme as follows: mmcblk1p1 (fat32, huge, this is your storage partition), mmcblk1p2 (ext4 preferably, 1 or 2 or 4 GB depending on size of your games) and mmcblk1p3 (your Linux swap partition, 1GB you use, I use only 512 MB), all primary partitions.

Use whatever software you like for partitioning, I recommend EASEUS mini tool partition for Windows and Gparted for GNU/Linux. Make the partition scheme, you will loose your files and put back your SD card to the phone.

Once your SD card is partitioned and installed you should not see any problems in Android. Configure Link2SD indicating your filesystem is ext4 and reboot after Link2SD's mounting scripts are done.

Finally, install Script Manager or any app that can run scripts at boot or as pleased. Create a new file with this content with a ".sh" extension, and program it to execute or just execute it manually:

#!/system/bin/sh

# Activate swap

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p3

# Setting swappiness

echo "100" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

I'm assuming your partition mmcblk1p3 is the Linux swap partition. If you don't use Link2SD it should say mmcblk1p2. I assume too the swappiness you posted before, I use a much more conservative value (20), hoping this won't damage my SD card too soon.

To deactivate you can run on terminal "swapoff -a" or make a script with this code "!# /system/bin/sh (enter) swapoff -a".

Tips:

1) Use aggressive settings in Supercharger console instead of multitasking

2) Find an app that runs scripts automatically with fullscreen enabled and disabled. This way you only activate swap when needed and additionally, you can use zeppelinrox's flush command or adrenaline boost before as soon as you go fullscreen with a slightly modified script:

!# /system/bin/sh

flush

# if you have adrenaline boost uncomment the next line and comment the line before this

#boost

sleep 10 &&

# sleep line only if flush or boost take its time

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p3

echo "100" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Keep in mind this tips are recommendations and I'm not sure they will benefit you for gaming since I'm not a gamer in my phone... yep, unbelievable, no games here, any recommendations?

Hi guys, I've some bad news.

I patched the whole kernel, built it but the phone does not like it.

When I try to boot it first it reamins stuck, then Huawei logo disappears and the led blinks in a blue color. :confused:

I think it's still fastboot mode, as if you keep pressed Power button it boots up the installed firmware and if you keep pressed Power+VolDown it goes to fastboot mode again.

In the meantime I've discovered that some guys with G630 tried to patch our kernel too: https://github.com/AscendG630-DEV

I don't know if they were luckier, I'll try to git their kernel too...

EDIT: I've built a recovery with this kernel, and it boots.

I haven't checked recovery functionalities yet, I'll do later.

I have found the project forum: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=935519 (Spanish)

They have a "half-working" CM 11: at the moment the phone boots, can connect to 2G and 3G networks and connect to the internet, but bluetooth, WiFi, camera and audio still does not work, as I understood.

It seems that the kernel is based on a Jelly Bean one, again.

Most surprising thing is that on BoardConfig.mk they are using caf-legacy instead of caf-new for graphics and media, in contrast to what KonstaT told me.

I'm building a system image, it could be interesting trying it, and if it works we could cooperate to port CM to Y530 and G630.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Seems to me you are gonna crack this soon. Using caf-legacy may be the culprit for the boot-failure-boot-to-fastboot thing, you have the kernel all patched up, so it may work good in the first build. I'm excited.

You can root with rootgenius. Its easy. Install root genius on your PC, enable USB debugging on phone then conect phone to PC. Wait some seconds then click ROOT. Then wait, after few seconds phone will reboot with Kinguser App instaled. :D

To unlock bootloader send mail to huawei and you will get password. Then turn off the phone and long press vol- and power key. Phone will stuck on huawei logo (ili telenor logo ako si u telenoru :D ) then conect it to pc. Open CMD and write "fastboot oem unlock paswword" for example "fastboot oem unlock 184729371947". This will erase your data so do backup before unlocking.

[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi,

I've updated my drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxPaYGw65OY5QlZJMTd0WUVDZ3M&authuser=0

The cm11_y530_prealpha2.7z contains a pre-ALPHA of the Cyanogenmod, for developers only, as nothing works.

Please don't flash it, unless you think you can help to solve the Zygote problem. Seriously, only the boot animation works.

The other file is the "blue_led_recovery.img", which does not work, too. Boot it only if you want to see the led blinking.

At the moment my KitKat kernel does not work.

CM was built using a Jelly Bean kernel very similar to the stock one.

We should try to make a working Kitkat kernel, but as this other one (modified by eloygomez from HTCMania) allows us to boot CyanogenMod, we can use it, at least for the moment.

A KitKat kernel would be better, as it would be easier passing to Lollipop, in case, but Huawei didn't want to help us.

What's more is that they released Huawei Y530 with Android 4.3, but there were already the sources for Kitkat... At least in Code Aurora.
[General Questions and Answers] Kombuk:
You think we can get lollipop on this phone later?
[General Questions and Answers] :
OK. This is not the case anymore. The solution is very easy but not intuitive at all.

First, you need to configure in Settings only stable versions (currently 2.6.1).

Second, go to experimental section, still in Settings, and activate the only option there to Inactivate source hooks.

Reboot and that's it.

Edit: stick with old versions (2.5.1) if you are trying to change UI things like status bar, they won't work with this workaround.

[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
I've finally managed to boot CyanogenMod :D

I've tried again with G630 ramdisk and it works, well, sort of.

What works:

Boot animation

At first boot it asks you for settings

Home screen

Menu

What does not work:

Home and menu buttons

Unlock - yes, if it locks you have to reboot using ADB

SIM

Bluetooth

WiFi

Still haven't tried lots of things.

If you want to try it out you have to download the zip, restore it using Clockworkmod, reboot to bootloader, flash boot_prealpha2.img using fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot_prealpha2.img), then you'll have Cyanogenmod :) .

Sorry for the boot flashing, but uploading 200MB would require me some hours with the connection I have at the moment...

Honestly I don't know where to start from to solve all problems... Maybe home button or unlock :laugh:
