camera

Hello ritesh,

i rooted my phone(Octane Plus) at least a month ago and installed new custom rom of lenovo vibe ui 2.0 and it's working pretty much impresive . i liked the ui of the rom, but camera of the phone is decreased both rear and front. it becomes 13 and 5. also there is bugs in the camera as it looks not smoother than earlier.

also the battery is decreasing quickly. :(

can you fix it please.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
You are using a rom that is not meant for our phone. So performance and compatibility issues will be there. Flashing the stock rom with ota solves the camera problem for me. I've tried many custom ROMs, vibe, miui, etc. But they all have max camera resolution of 13 mp. Only stock rom gives full 16mp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srk7:
Thanks for reply bro:)

also someone uploaded material rom for octane plus. should i go for it or wait for sometime as you told that you will cook cynogenmod 11 for this device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Sure, give it a try. CM will take time, as the p5000 source hasn't been released yet. But I will eventually build a cm11 android 4.4.4 rom for this phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srk7:
i also wanted to built a rom, can you assist me?

plz? i also wanted to help people by build a fantastic rom.:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Sure. What help you need?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srk7:
That ota img will work on my custom rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Don't know. These OTAs contain incremental patches that are not supposed to run on custom ROMs. But it might still work. Make a nandroid backup before trying.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Srk7:
What exactly ota stands for?i think its just for update stuffs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
OTA stands for 'over the air'. Yes, its for updating.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revolutionyzer:
Are there any custom ROMs for this device ? And is any recovery built ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incogno:

[MENTION=6397911]incogno[/MENTION], [MENTION=5723399]revolutionyzer[/MENTION]

Yes, I just recently ported twrp 2.8.2.0 recovery from stock source. Also managed to find old twrp 2.7.0.0, CWM and Carliv. Links are in the second post. I Will work on my own ports of Carliv and CWM later. I'm thinking of starting a new thread for recoveries. For now, twrp 2.8.2.0 source code for those who are interested in further development - HERE.

As for custom ROMs, sadly there are no custom ROMs available for "Octane Plus". But there are lots of roms available for Chinese phones that are rebrands of octane Plus. These roms work just fine, but few bugs. Most will have max camra resolution of 13 mp. Stock rom has 16 mp resolution. Links for these roms -

Jellybean

Kitkat

Installing the stock ram you posted

I want to download the stock ROM directly on my android phone instead of a PC and then install it using CWM. I mean, can I do that with the zip u provided?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritoxavi:
Do you possess a Karbonn titanium octane plus?

If yes then it would be extremely helpful if you could upload the dialer, contacts and all the related apks showing blue phone receiver apk files

Reason: I uninstalled my stock apps and now I probably terminated some background process and my sim cards are not getting recognised.. so I cannot call not can I receive them so with your help I could fix this problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
No, this Rom can be flashed only via SP Flash Tool. If you want, I can make a recovery flashable zip too. Give me some time .

Here is a dump of system rom-

https://github.com/Ritzythedevil/Karbonn-Octane-Plus

You will find all the required system files in the appropriate folder. But you can't just install a system apk like normal apk. You will need write permission to system partition (root) and copy paste the APKs in appropriate folder.

Ps: sorry for late reply.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritoxavi:
Look, let me be honest with u....I'm sort of a design freak and I got bored with my KitKat dialer app.....

so to spice things up I decided to replace it with a 3rd party lollipop dialer....so I turned on root uninstaller and searched for the stock phone app...I saw the blue receiver icon and uninstalled it... but the actual app didn't go from my home screen..so I searched again and found another app with that same blue phone icon.....I uninstalled that along with the stock contacts app.... Now that the stock app was successfully uninstalled, I installed the 3rd party app but after that my network service went off and whenever I clicked sim management the settings app force closed... and now I'm stranded and can't make nor receive calls

So what I'm asking you is, the uninstalling of which APP(it's name and details) caused the problem? If u know it then it would greatly help me and I could reinstall that app from the excellent stock app repository location you provided the link of.......Thnx in advance

Hey

I need your help buddy actually I like leaf icon launcher and clock widgets of Carbonn Titanium Octane Plus so can you post in this thread.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Sorry for the late reply. Here are the screen shots of my system >app folder. See which apps you have deleted and retrieve them from the repository.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
See, now you guys are having different cases of same problem. I think the best way to solve this problem is to create a fully stock rom of octane plus that can be flashed via recovery. I already did that in the past, but the updater script (inside META-INF folder) on that rom had some problems due to which it only works on some recoveries, not all. I'll try to fix that. Meanwhile, link to the repo is posted. You can use the "download as zip" option in github. Then unpack the zip file > replace the META-INF folder with any other octane plus rom > repack the zip. And flash it like any other custom rom from recovery. It will give u 100% stock octane plus rom.

E : Unable to mount ' /system' ERROR

I have Karbonn Titanium Octane Plus from past 2 months(my 4months savings). I am a beginer of Android and wanted my phone to have Android 'L' so i searched in google but couldn't find any. But found cyanogenmod cm11 of rom in your post and installed it using TWRP v2.8.2.0 as shown in tutorials with all the adequate software to be installed for my laptop as specified. After intalling cm11, Android version got upgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. I was happy and exited for some period. after few days felt the earlier os was better as it had video recording and FM player. so wiped the phone to install stock rom of Karbonn Titanium Octane Plus without any backup or recoveries. But couldn't install as the error occurs shows as mentioned below:

E : Unable to mount ' /system'

Please Help........

How to underclock the Clockspeed of the processor.

hlo sir....i want to know how to change the minimum clockspeed of my titanium octane plus's processor.

i mean to say that my phone is having frequency range of 728MHz-1664MHz. So i want to decrease my minimum frequency that is 728MHz to 500MHz or something bcoz it will save a lot of battery ;).......so how to do that.........plz reply:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
To decrease the minimum clock speed, we need to compile a custom kernel which is not possible because there is no source code available. But there is already another state below 728mhz called 'deep sleep' and most of the time most cores (6/8) stay in deep sleep, so that is not the real problem. You can improve your battery performance by removing all bloatware and background services and applying some init.d patches if you have root.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurav gangwar:
ok...i'll try to solve that & thnx again :)......

& sir u r really doing a grt. job;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Happy to help. :)

I've tried compiling a kernel myself from wiko sources (6592) but couldn't get it to boot past the splash screen. Lack of proper source code makes it difficult to develop for mediatek phones. However, that being said, the 'minimum' clock speed is not the real problem. The problem is 'average' clock speed. Lot of apps run in background and they constantly wake up cpu cores from sleep. I havent been able to do any development work lately due to my exams and thesis. But hopefully that will be finished by end of Jan. After that I'll get back to it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Install the correct drivers if phone is not detecting on PC. Also try to use another data cable. Incorrect charging animation seems like a software issue or data cable issue, flashing stock rom should fix that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
In start menu, type "device manager" and run.

In device manager, under "ports(com and lpt)" you should find "mediatek da usb vcom port" {see pic}. If you do not see this mediatek vcom port, you need to install the drivers. If you see this port, then SP flashtools should work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badri21:
Yes I am having it but not able to flash using sp flash tools
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
What error do you get when using flashtool? You must remove the battery before connecting the phone. Is the phone detected even partially in flashtool? Also, you can find the flashtool logs in "C:\ProgramData\SP_FT_Logs".

And if you get brom error on flashtools, you can try "Format all + download" option (bit risky).

Try a different usb port or even a different PC. I once had a similar problem, phone was not detecting on front usb port but was working on backside ports. Front ports otherwise worked fine with pendrives, etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badri21:
Yes tried in different laptops not working

Does Changing the USB cord in phone help solving any of the problems
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
I'm not sure what you mean by "Changing the USB cord in phone". If you're talking about the data cable then yes, changing the data cable can help. If you are talking about changing the usb port on your phone (hardware repair) then I suggest you should first try connecting some other mediatek device to your laptop. SP flash tool should work with all mediatek SoCs. If some other mediatek phone is connecting and detected, then problem is with hardware and changing the phone usb port might help. If no other mtk device is detecting then its most probably driver problem, try using PDAnet driver they work for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badri21:
tried other phone it works perfect ,only octane plus is not detecting in PDAnet too ....finaly i have to try hardware repair hope it works
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Yes, then you should try port replacement. Maybe one of the 4 wires in your phone's usb port is not connected. Thats why it's only charging not detecting. Also out of curiosity, can you tell what your "H/W Ver" is? Its on the back under the battery. Mine says "TBW9781_P2_001".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badri21:
my H/W version is ls also "TBW9781_P2_001" but i have changed many cables

my karbonn titanium octane plus is not working

i will try to be as informative as possible.

I found my phone off in my pocket, tried to turn it on but freezes on boot/logo screen for some seconds and displays some random horizontal lines on over the logo screen like it crashed or something.

also charging logo screen(screen before the charging animation screen appears) shows some lines and reboots again to charging logo screen and do not shows charging animation.

i was using stock ROM , I thought i would flash stock ROM again using TWRP(installed earlier) but recovery is not opening.

So I tried connecting to my laptop.

In the past, I've used SP flash tool to flash recoveries, it worked fine.

drivers are fine.

now it rarely detects "MediaTek preloader usb vcom port" like it should be, but mostly it detects "MTK usb port" which is useless and don't works.

flashing works only when "MediaTek preloader usb vcom port" is detected and don't work when "MTK usb port".

when "MTK usb port" is detected, SP flash tool just detects, doesn't do anything and after some seconds shows error "S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL" and solution "Please check your image to matches with your phone which is to be downloaded." please do not focus here as device should have detected as "MediaTek preloader usb vcom port".

when it rarely detects "MediaTek preloader usb vcom port", the flashing process starts but strucks in the middle and fails.

drivers installed in laptop are correct .

what should i do now ???

any other tools can i use ?

As your recovery is also corrupt, SP flash tool is the only way left. Try pressing and holding the volume up or down key as you connect the phone to flashtool. Other than that, you can try changing the data cable or try a different port on laptop. And do remember to remove the phone battery before connecting to sp flash.

Hi Sir...I've something to ask,

I've installed a custom ROM of Android 5.1 with CM 12.1 on my Titanium Octane Plus.......& now i want to install Xposed Framework for it.

So my Question is that, is it going to do any change on my phone permanently......I mean to say that when I installed CWM it replaced my stock recovery mood & settled there permanently......so is Xposed, going to do any permanent change like that???plz rply & thnx in adavance :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sushil11175:
Xposed framework and CWM are two different things, CWM will stay in recovery partition whether your ROM (CM 12.1) is working or not.

CWM and Xposed are not related at all.

Xposed framework will do some changes with System (ROM) partition and will stay there untill you remove Xposed framework or change your ROM.
