Everytime I flash this rom I delete imeis. So I can't call or receive.

Is there a way to restore them with this rom?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
Read here how to restore your imei very easy with different ways : https://xdaforums.com/android/development/useful-tools-drivers-vernee-apollo-lite-t3834946

when you flash via SPFT don't use "format all & download" because (probably) you lost your imei, mac address,etc...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drabharathan:
Just wanted to add a few additions.

1. All the IMEI writing options MaUI meta, SN Writer etc seemed to NOT mention that phone MUST BE on stock everything! Strangely, the stock scatter file won't load on SP flash tools for me vs MAD scatter files worked just fine. Don't know why...

2. I ended up having to use stock ROM for a few months as flashing MAD caused an IMEI wipe. (even on download only on SP flash tools ).

Note: IMEI got corrupted initually at random, then i wiped it after I did a (format and download) SP flash! My bad!

3. I finally got it fixed. ( so happy )

- The fix that worked:

- Installed Mad OS 7 as firmware upgrade ( the last updated ROM)

- No IMEI number, so I downloaded SuperSu 2.76zip and flashed via recovery.

- Boot OS and downloaded "Ghost Phone" app from play store, give root permissions.

- Enter IMEI, BT, WiFi etc... (awesome app can even generate random ones) I had my genuine IMEI number, so please don't do anything illegal.

- Saved them. Flashed the updated recovery, and MAD OS 8.1. My IMEI numbers were retained.

It was quick and easy. No PC needed apart from the need to flash the ROM!

Hope this helps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drabharathan:
1. Root phone using the SuperSu, not magisk. If you need to flash Noughat( the firmware uprade version needed prior to flashing MAD ) do that.

2. Download the "Ghost Phone" app from play store, give it root and then enter everything. IMEI, BT, WIFI Mac addresses etc.

3. It worked well for me. NO PC /DRIVER/SP FLASHTOOL match etc needed.

4. Obviously you might pc it to flash Noughat. After I got the IMEI written ( maybe NAND repaired), I booted to TWRP, Wiped and flashed the updated recovery and MAD 8.1 via TWRP. Everything was retained and phone working like a treat now.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ЯazoR:
This may be an extremely lame question, but I have to ask it for the piece of mind it may give me. Camera quality was pretty bad in the stock ROM (washed out colors, lot of blur etc.). Does madOS improve that in any way? I'm a pretty lazy guy when it comes to installing custom ROMs, but if the camera gets better even the tiniest bit, I will not hesitate to upgrade.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
There are improvements, but it is still a bad camera.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ЯazoR:
Thanks! I decided to give it a try, but for some reason, the needed recovery for Oreo does not flash for me. Well actually it does, but I cannot boot into it, and it causes the OS to start.

This however seems to work: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/howto-twrp-root-vernee-apollo-lite-t3509647

Does anyone know why this could be?

EDIT: Is it possible, that I have to flash the 7.1.2 ROM in firmware upgrade mode before I can use the new recovery, because the partition sizes may have changed?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] el_muerte:
Really????:rolleyes:

It is written in red in OT:

"The latest 7.1.2 build must be flashed in SPFT with firmware upgrade mode before this ROM can be flashed"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ЯazoR:
I know its written there, I'm not that stupid (at least not now). First I wanted to flash the new recovery not the ROM itself. And the OP does not say anything about restrictions related to flashing the recovery ONLY...

EDIT: I've gotten to the part, where I can flash 3.0.2 and 3.1.1 and use the ONCE and only once. Next time (after a successful Android system boot) I try to boot into recovery it reverts back to the stock recovery. I did not want to flash SuperSU for now. Regarding this I have no clue why it happens. Did anyone else experience the same?

EDIT2: Well for whatever reason it only worked properly with also flashing SuperSU...

EDIT3: As stated in the previous post fter flashing SuperSU the recovery did not revert to stock. Now after a successfull firmware upgrade mode flash the TWRP required for madOS 8.1 was able to be installed and worked properly. After doing so the system installed without errors. (Strangely though TWRP 3.0.2 was able to do a full backup, while 3.1.1 was unable to read some partitions.)

TLDR:

I strongly think that one has to flash SuperSU simultaneously for TWRP (3.0.2, 3.1.1) to work permanently while on stock OS (my device was on the latest official OTA). This is regardless of flashing the last stable version of madOS 7.1.2 with SPFT. But that is most likely required to install the TWRP requirement of madOS 8.1.

I don't get the freezing issue but I can replicate slow / short hangs in UI.

Everyone who has a freeze and does do a hard reboot with the power button, can you upload the /proc/last_kmsg file?

Easiest way to get it is to reboot directly after the freeze to recovery and then copy it with the file manager to the sdcard. Then just copy it to your pc and upload it please.

Yesterday I have been trying a long time and many attempts in different ways to get TWRP upgraded, in vain .

Today I read in SuperdragonPT’s post #74 that a full wipe between TWRP and flashing ROM was necessary.

So I did and rebooted and stuck at Vernee splash screen.

After 15 minutes waiting I decided to manually start recovery mode by (very) long pressing Pwr+Vol-Up buttons

To my supprise TWRP 3.2.1.0 appeared and I could flash MADos8.1, wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.

Got back to recovery and flashing unofficial pico GAPPS, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.

Stupid ME!

Because in post #73 SuperdragonPT also wrote that GAPPS must be flashed in combination with MADos.

So it PlayStore didn't work and I had to flash both MADos+GAPPS again.

And now GAPPS work fine.

[MENTION=4761533]fire855[/MENTION];

To prevent others from these problems, please edit installation instructions to make MORE clear that:

- after upgrading TWRP a full wipe is necessary BEFORE booting into the new TWRP (or is rebooting after udating to new TWRP not necessary??)

and

- installing GAPPS must be done in the same instance as MADos8.1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
Actually, before it totally freezes, the UI slows down and then eventually hangs.

No worries, I'll send the file as soon as I encounter the hangs again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DVO-er:
With MADos8.1 I have same issue with VAX camera as I had with MADos7.1.2.

The focus is completely off. Not only in standard camera app, but as well in Footej, Open Camera, A better Camera, Bacon and FV-5 lite.

All camera apps start up with a quite allright focus but then autofocus starts and all gets blurry.

Focus ends up sharp at objects on 5 centimeters from the lens.

Weirdly enough in Ressurection Remix R5.8.3 camera focus is working.

It is not optimal aswell, but it is usable.

In MADos it doesn't focus correct at all.

I am very sad with this because it means I cannot use MADos.

Anyone has any sollution for me? [MENTION=4761533]fire855[/MENTION], [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION], [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION]

The requested file

I copied from recovery after crash. Thank you.

"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1btO--RAvvbFuVykjzGs6Z3YhfItqDuxw"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] M4N135H:
Possible cause of crashes

While flashing the rom and formatting the partitions, I discovered that when the zip file is flashed, it formats the system and data partitions from f2fs to ext4. So if the partition was previously formatted as f2fs, it becomes ext4 after flashing. This might cause some conflict because it seems like the rom was written to be run on f2fs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fire855:
Flashing doesn't change any f2fs partitions to ext4 and it also doesn't format data.

Also the system partition should NEVER be f2fs. F2FS is only supported by the cache & data partitions.

* About the color engine not theming QS , that's the stock 8.1.0 android behavior

The wallpaper you have will have influence on the QS color

e.g: you have applied an dark theme ...but you have an white wallpaper, the QS will become white as well, that's something we are working at, to add an setting to override that, or just use stock android QS behavior. (Per user choice)

*I just noticed an issue with FMradio, I'll check this...

*And if anyone wants to use f2fs (I use this) please remember that this file format is only available for cache & data, do not messed up with other partitions

The only ‘‘problem‘‘ is : radio does not play , & the central button not working to go to the home page (maybe is a launcher problem?Idk) & weather widget after any reboot not working & it needs adjustment again from the beginning - (video recorder app not woking)

Seems like cifs support is still not in there. When I asked wether you may implement it on vernees forum Teufel wrote that he will look into it. Then when the update after that came he answered me that he forgot it. After that two or three updates have passed.. Well.. It would still be really nice to be able to mount network drives so that it looks like a mounted usb drive to the system to e.g. move apps there.

Also a few other things I asked about later (and which I remember atm):

- Something like an linking feature. Apps2SD is not that good and Link2SD is dead. Would be really nice to have the functionality Link2SD had in the ROM itself.

- The zoom feature of Android is not very costumizeable. You can only choose to enable it completly or not. The thing is that I would like to zoom in sometimes (not permamently but shortly to be able to see some details better) but I don't want the "fast tipping" zoom, cause I use macros and that one gets triggered when I use macros which click very often..

- I would like to display more things while the volume control bar is displayed after one of the volume gets buttons. E.g. the navigation bar (for guys who likes to hide their navbar normally), a custom menu with toggles (Magnification, Screenshot, etc.) or maybe even interactive or live content like Widgets, (FM/Internet) Radio, RSS or IRC..

- Web browser or a File Downloader or a ftp client in your TWRP version would be nice (e.g. if people forgot to download something which they need)

- Access to network drives in your TWRP version would be nice so that files don't need to be on the sd card nor internal storage

Hi MadOs team,

I am a long time user of the Thor ROM and since i bought my VAX i was waiting for a good rom Nougat.

What my surprise when i discover this Oreo One.

I had test the Lineage and the ResurrectionRemix but they both suffer of the lack of DRM Widevine.

So i upgrade today to this MadOS with some difficulties (lost of IMEI and problem with the gapp nano).

At the end, I have my VAX on Oreo with pico gapp and root SR5-SuperSU-v2.82.

As I expected, the DRM works fine(test with some French TV APPs). I experience some hang and freeze but for the moment I have only on thing to say :

One again GREAT WORK the MadOS Team

I tried with another launcher and central button works correctly.

pressing it, goes to the main screen..So,the problem is in the mados launcher I think...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
You are mentioning 4 problems:

Radio and videorecorder were already mentioned and it is indeed not working correctly.

But weather app is working good (also after reboot).

And also central button is working. (maybe you can reset the buttons in mados extra, navigation bar, buttons and layout.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] konsolenspieler:
Do you mean for that cifs thing? In that case: No. The kernel needs cifs support. No app can't help there without that. Without cifs support I can only connect to a network share with file managers, but this is not what I want. I want to mount it like an SD card or USB drive. So that it is listed in "Storage" of the system. This is more useful than a simple connection with file managers, cause you can link apps then to that and any app can access it. If you still don't get what I mean then search for cifsmanager or Mount Manager cause they are apps specifically made for that purpose so that users who want that have a GUI and don't need a terminal - but they still require cifs support in kernel ofc.
