Which time zone uses XDA? Because it's cool to see that [MENTION=4761533]fire855[/MENTION] can see into the future! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Thats why i think it is a photoshop.

Can our VAL run on O?

We still need good Android 6 and we are still waiting for 7.x of Vernee.

I am almost sure mad-team need sources from Vernee... Or not?

Can you share The Mediatek Patches for Android O and how u fixed first errors with libEGLs when u compiled Android O?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] The21Calvo:
Vernee is cooperating with google so all vernee phones will get android Pancake 9.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Wut?

You people listen too much the other pseudo devz on the Mediatek Thread ug?

Why people just talk about "Mediatek Patchs" but what patchs?

Just fix it, that's all!

Either way, Android O is /OT now, and still very early, as Final Google source ain't released yet

cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mlara.particular:
[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] are you planning another 7.1.2 release for VAL until Android O?

Cheers, and keep up the excellent work!!:good:

Hi,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
I think a new release for the VAL is coming very soon. Those are the rumors.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Yup

Its been under testing, and has nothing to do with previous builds, its really an huge jump

Everything will be explained at the release
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Sounds great. Hope it will come soon.

Any info already?

Will the wakeup-freeze be fixed?

Are the random FC's fixed?

Is finally the nightlight fixed?

Or you cannot tell yet?

:angel:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
Hi, I just bought a brand new Vernee Apollo Light and I'd like to try this ROM (that sounds great). I'm not a noob at all (I already flashed custom roms a while ago on other phones), but I have a couple of question:

1- how do I flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 linked in the second post? Maybe with SPFlashTool? If so, where should I find the latest linux version?

2- if needed (read: for warranty purposes), will it be possible to revert everything back to stock? In that case, do I have to make some sort of backup prior to start flashing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
1, yes with spflash, latest Linux version.... Google is your friend

2, if you install this rom, you never want to go back to stock. But it is possible
[Miscellaneous Android Development] honzyn25:
I would wait for the new version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
I tried to google for it before asking, but I found a bunch of sites that I don't know if I can trust! So can you address me to the official one?

Some of the sites I found are:

https://spflashtool.com/

http://spflashtools.com/

https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool

I'm sure I'll never want to go back to stock, but I was asking it just in case I'll need to send the phone for service during warranty.

So, which steps are needed to revert back to stock? Just download a stock rom from Vernee's website and flash it with spflashtool? Or do I have to make a backup earlier?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Xda link is for sure good:

https://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/tutorial-how-to-setup-spflashtoollinux-t3160802

Going back to stockrom is easy, download rom and flash it with spflash. Thats it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
Thank you very much, I've missed it!!

So, flashing stock rom with spflash will also revert back to stock recovery and then the phone will be exactly like when it was purchased, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hilde0407:
I'm really looking forward to the new version. If she appears until the weekend, I donate 10,00 € again! If it appears later, there is donation € 5.00!

The developers would have earned much more! I hope it will donate more users!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] genesisalgor:
I dont think they are interested in bargain, it will come when its ready.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nature boy:
That's not how it works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
What is an. Img file?

What are you trying to do?

The recovery (twrp) is a img file

The mados is a zip file

With spflash and a good scatterfile you flash twrp

With twrp you flash mados
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
If it was about money...

I would just sell the new source ROM to vernee itself, that would give me some thousands...

No joke

[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Please don't
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Never...they suck!

Also I have my pride...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Stttt not so loud. They still promissed us android 7 in December :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
That's exactly what I'm trying to do. But without success.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
What is the issue now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Yup -lol- they forgot to say the year...

Making vain promises just to sell more, is something I can't forgive, and brakes trust on the brand.

The quality isn't -that- bad overall, nor the price , just all the rest - the way brand does things- is something untrustworthy.

Overall this device running now on an 100℅ Nougat base is great

And that's what's coming...

Any way to dual boot Apollo Lite

Is there any way to dual boot this on a apollo lite, I have tried dual boot patcher but that is not supported, Will it still work anyway, Or is there another dual boot apk that works?

Thx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
I've followed all the steps from this thread, but flash tool isn't connecting to my phone. Do I have to make something extra specific to the Apollo Lite?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Turn phone off.

Press "download" in spflash

Then connect phone to computer

Spflash will do its job

But for windows you need the correct drivers for mtk phones. Dont know how that works in linux
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
And that's what I do, but spflash doesen't find my phone. Maybe it's easier with windows, but I'm on linux, so I'll keep searching for the solution.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Did you check:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] skylineone044:
After you plugged the phone it, hold down the Vol+ and the power buttons...then SP flashtool should kick into action.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
Did you guys also noticed the weird bug that happens when you have the general volume up and every 10/15 minute using the phone it does weird sounds that are scary (for like 1 second then stop and does the same after 10/15min).

I'm on last build;
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
I did it! I just tried to flash my phone again and it finally worked. Still don't know why it wasn't working before, as I just re-checked if I correctly followed all the steps (and I did it) without touching anything, and now it works as soon as I plug my phone in.

Now I'll try to install the rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
The ROM works good, but the camera app is just counting down. Even when i remove photo's i dont get more pics to take.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Maybe the deleted pictures are still 'there'. Did you reboot to eventually free temporary space?

Pokemon go and Calcy IV

Hello,

i have two vernee with MadOS. On both diveces i have the same bug with Pokemon Go and Calcy IV. Normaly Calcy take a screenshot from the game but on MadOS the VAL is rebooting. Every time. On Android 6 Calcy and Pokemon runs. Have anyone an idea or workaround?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
My Google Photo's app is 308 MB big or small. and i could only 6 photos delete, all the rest is saved in the cloud. I reboot my phone normaly every day. so that can not be the problem. i tray to delete the cache once in a week , if i dont forget, other wise i do it once in 2 weeks. So i tray to keep my device as clean as i can.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Thanks for thinkin with me, the problem is solved. I can again take near 600 photo's like the first time i started this camera app. The Photo's are beter as with the original camera app from Vernee. The 3G en 4G conection is also beter as with the original Vernee ROM. But the app's crasches so now and then with your MadOS ROM

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
Your post doesn't fit into this thread. It's off-topic.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
Hello everyone again. It's been a long time since I last messed with the ROM on my Apollo Lite, but yeah, mine's still alive and kicking :D. I'm still running the build from February, before the whole madOS thing was introduced, and it's obviously quite old at this point.

This build had a few quirks but I learned to work around most of them, and for others (like the phone and camera randomly crashing) I learned to be patient and try again. And when it starts to randomly heat up, or something's not working for no apparent reason, rebooting does wonders. So I've been using it as my daily driver for all these months. :good: The battery life is not stellar either, but the phone usually lasts through the day, and that's all I need - although it would be nice if the battery didn't go below 20% so often, to increase its longevity.

Once in a while I check this thread to see if there are any new builds worth installing, but since there are always people mentioning one or other problem - sometimes it's things that would affect me more than the problems in the build I'm using - and since migrating to a new ROM takes some time and effort, having to backup and restore lots of things, I have been skipping the updates.

It seems the latest build is not free of small problems, either. So what would you recommend, given that the release I'm using works "well enough", but has the annoying problems that were discussed at length back when it was new, and I'd like a bit more stability: should I wait for the next one, or is it worth going through the effort to try and see if the build from May works "well enough" for me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skylineone044:
Wait for the nex build...It't coming real soon...

Maybe I shouldn't mention this, bt I have the test build of the next update, and it's almost free of bugs...So just be patient.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
Great news, I'll just wait, then :)

It's probably been fixed by now, but since it's a relatively obscure bug in this really old build I'm using, I'll mention it anyway just in case anyone forgot to test this and it still happens: if you have mobile data on, and phone set to turn off mobile data on roaming, and go roaming, mobile data will be disabled as expected, but once you come back, mobile data won't work (and toggling it on and off won't do anything) until you reboot the phone or go into SIM card settings and restart the modem.

It took me a while to figure out it was going into roaming that was breaking mobile data once I was back home.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
He said it looks like it.. not that the photo is from him/her.. i didn't have any big problem like that, sound kinda weird.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddes1402:
Fards on fire! Thanks! Am I the only one who is the opinion that the snapdragon camera is the only possibility to make pictures? Camera fv5, snap camera, no matter if free-or paid app. All results are horrible, especially in low light, of course.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] No1VIPER:
I was joking. Its just the emoji didn't come up properly before for some reason.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
Another Bug:

If the phone is empty and you put in the charging cable the phone doesn't start, it hangs on the vernee boot screen and you have to press the power button ~10 seconds to force restart it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
We already have reported this bug :D i think they already fix it in the next release! (not sure) but from now just charge your phone when it's not shutdown so it won't be stuck in the Vernee Logo when charging :cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
That's correct. Just writing from my memories, these things are going to be fixed already:

Offline charging

Hotspot

Navigationbar options

Incall volume control

Smartwake

Led notification

Flipcover support

Improved battery life

I hope I did not forget too much
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddes1402:
Thank you very much! With improved battery life you mean deep sleep is working?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fosseperme:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gycu:

You guys are awesome
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
That's been fixed ..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dobermann24:
When can we expect the next update? You do a great job. :fingers-crossed::good::o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Before the year ends..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Why? It's been very easy to fix. By looking at the kernel driver, one can see, it is writing 0 or 1 to a specific path.

By adding a file changed observer, one would be done.

We just did choose a more battery saving way....

BTW battery: I only had been using stock rom for two days... But I honestly don't notice any (negative) changes in battery life. It's as bad as it was on latest vernee ota. No?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] addutzu:
battery life seems pretty good in use, big problem is it's going down fast on standby, like 30-40% over night

can you please check if LTE bands can be unlocked?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
It has same deep sleep issue as on stock vernee ROM

Its pretty bad ( on deep sleep) standby

What I mean is; I was worried this issue was introduced by us, but it wasn't.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] addutzu:
never had a battery drop that big when on stock or fards' rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
I think the battery us a bit quicker empty on MAD than on OTA. But as i said before, i used OTA also a couple of days and not really intensive because of the busy days/weeks before xmas.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
On the stock ROM the phone didn't spend much time on deep sleep, but I remember seeing it was in deep sleep at least 25% of the time. With this ROM it is in deep sleep for less than 10 seconds, with the same apps installed. If you can make it deep sleep as much as it did before, the battery should not go empty so fast.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
In my opinion the vernee firmware has a way better battery life. I can get 6.30 to 7 hours screen on time and on M.A.D. rom only 4-5 and that causes that I have to charge it ~2 hours before I go to bed. D: On my last day my phone was always active excerpt a time of 1minute or so... :D

And I don't know if that is a Android bug or not but if I enable and disable "Link ring tone & notification sound" in sound settings I only have 3 bars when I change volume and after a restart the fouth bar is there but its greyed out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zorikage:
Well battery is not the best when the screen is ON too and using some app like whatsapp... But the main problem is the idle one i think because with no mediatek features maybe its better dont shutdown the phone over the night.. by the way incrdible job developers, you are amazing everyone, thank you for everything and happy new year when it come!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trojanere:
I want a test build ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] honzyn25:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hervefr83:
hi MAD developpers !

what about vernee apollo ? you've made nougat 7.1.2 ROM for apollo lite, but nothing for apollo.

and as it becomes very cheap (170€ for this 4GB/64GB X25 flagship) I'd be very pleased to buy it and to know you're working on it !!!

thanx !!!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
The new build is becomming a huge update, so many fixes, new features, but of course a few new bugs eventually and old bugs which are not fixed.

I personally hope that screen recording, 4K video recording and HDR is fixed, but let's see...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Black Manta:
Modem: Some people have problems with bad connections. I only hate the standby battery consumptipn, but thst's normal for our Helio X20 Chipset. :)

Reboot problem: The last build often reboots spontainously, I even had these too with the same apps as with the previous build (clean install).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Hmm ok. Dont remember having modem and reboot problems, i have random FC's with last official build and wakeup problems
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
I am running the test build for the next release. And i would say that the intermittent hangups are already solved. Also 4k is now working. ?

Some features added. This build is virtually "bugless" in my observation. I hope everything would be just fine for the official release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nature boy:
Is 4k working with 3rd party camera apps or just Mad Camera? Do you know if it's H.264 or HEVC/H.265 like in the official ROMs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] almajnoun:
nice volte and screen cast working or not yet ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gbl08ma:
I spent some minutes browsing around the Vernee source code leak from earlier and it contains some binaries related to H.265 encoding. I'm not sure if they could be ported to this ROM or if there's even a need for it (perhaps there are alternative implementations that could be used instead?).

PS: That leak is interesting in some ways. As mentioned earlier by other people, it is very complete and contains stuff that is usually removed/changed by OEMs before publishing (incomplete) source code for their MTK-based devices. For example, besides source code for the bootloaders and tons of MediaTek-proprietary stuff, it contains source code copyrighted by DTS, Inc. for SRS TruMedia audio enhancement. This or other similar code is also present in other trees of MediaTek code, see for example https://github.com/DarkKnight6499/m...AudioEffect/srs_processing/srs_processing.cpp . But the one in the Vernee leak is a bit different, because it contains the original headers attributing copyright to DTS, Inc and not MediaTek. :silly:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hervefr83:
you're right, I'll wait for 8.0 for it... ;)

thanks for all the work you do !

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aptom:
After some days of usage, I must say that this ROM is nearly perfect, I can't wait for the new version!

I've got just one question: is there a way to hide the navbar and the status bar when playing games on fullscreen mode?
