Backlight Flickering - Continued

Original Post here >>>> CLICK

***** UPDATED 20/11/2010 - 22:00

Tested with ROM: kallt_kaffe - The Celestial Teapot RLS3 >>> BAD - FLICKERING

Tested with ROM: Vodafone 845 Mr. Edition v1.6.2 >>> LauncherPro Expired, GOOD - NO FLICKERING

Tested with ROM: Vodafone 845 Mr. Edition v1.8 >>> GOOD - NO FLICKERING

Tested with ROM: Vodafone 845 Mr. Edition v1.9.1 >>> GOOD - NO FLICKERING

Tested with ROM: Vodafone 845 Mr. Edition v1.9.5 >>> BAD - FLICKERING

Tested with ROM: Vodafone 845 Mr. Edition v2.0.1 >>> BAD - FLICKERING

Not tested: wildgunman - V8 Rom v1.7.6 >>>

UNSIGNED

Rom. Need ClockWork Recovery to install it.

I still haven't tryed all the ROMs from kallt_kaffe but from what i already tested i came to the conclusion that the flickering problem is related with the usage of kallt_kaffe kernel. The backlight flickering started to happen on Mr. Edition v1.9.5 with the newly added Kallt_kaffe OC_633 version kernel.

For now i'm going to stick with stock ROM :(. I'm afraid that this weird backlight power surge damage my phone.

Going to put this same post in [ROM] [Huawei U8100/U8110/U8120] [Eclair] The Celestial Teapot RLS3 thread and hope that freddyemmer and/or kallt_kaffe fix it so i can use this awesome ROM.

Thanks you.

I wiped 3 times and installed mr. edition 2.0 and 2.01 why should I reinstall the stock rom and then again v2.01? If I wipe the rom everything is gone, so what's the point to reinstall the stock rom?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LorDestinY:
I don't know the technical stuff but it helped some guys in the past solving some data corruption on installations.

Your problem might be an hardware related issue, more specifically faulty ram data corruption or a faulty rom drive.

You should try every method that you hear about, even if it sounds stupid!

Good luck...

Hi,

about the flickering problem - I confirm it, it occurs on my phone too. I'm not afraid it would damage the phone (its just LEDs..), but still it would be nice to have it fixed :-)

BTW very good work, Freddy, thank you!

How do you uninstall LauncherPro from Mr Edition?

Doesn't seem to be in the uninstall list. Tried removing it using AppBrain since it shows in there, but just fails to uninstall
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LorDestinY:
I used Advanced Task Manager to uninstall it one time. Download from market...

Before you remove LaucherPro install another Launcher or else you will only see a black screen with no menus etc...

What about the 'desktop shortcut' things? (dunno what they're called in android land)

I was planning on removing all launchers (which i thought was the bit down the bottom only) and just having shortcuts

But if the launcher includes the shortcuts then that won't wrok.

Wlan problems

Hi freddyemmer.

v2. 01 introduced some new wlan problems which i didnt have with v1. 9:

- sometimes wlan can't be enabled directly. it then works after several tries or rebooting

- sometimes wlan can be enabled and connects to a network just fine, but no data can be send or received, for example browsing gives a network error. after a reboot the same network works fine.

i hope you can solve these errors in the next release. thank you for your work!

please people just read the topic It's all in there. many of these questions are already asked and answerd..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DamienSP:
This is probably a stupid question, but how do I change SD cards when I don't have a card reader? Just replacing SD cards didn't work (it tried bootin for almost an hour). I can imagine it's because "Mr. Edition" needs the SD card for caching or whatever. So no chance to change cards without a reader?

Just flashed the 2.0.1 (from 1.9.5) and it looks like the 845 won't start any longer after the first start. I had to reboot and now its drwaing that Android since about 10 minutes or so... going back to 1.9.5 till problem is solved.

edit:

Solved!

Just don't let the 845 be connected to your PC via USB on boot ;-(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pavouk106:
Just flashed 2.0.1 yesterday and everything is ok, except backlight - I think that the most powersaving level of backlight is dimmer than before on 1.6.x version of ROM. But np with it, I just switched to "medium" backlight and it'll be good.

But I have a little question - I don't know how to backup everything before flash (so I lost my data in phone, nothing major though - I knew I will lost them). I would like to know how to do proper backup of SMS, wifi settings and app settings and app data. I've heard about Titanium backup - is it what I'm looking for? I don't want to test it and lose everything again...

Facebook sync

It is unable to sync with FB contacts. I have uninstalled FB and rebooted the phone. I have checked my applications settings in the FB webpage, and I've found nothing related to this app in the list, so I have deleted nothing.

Then I have reinstalled the FB app in the phone. Settings > Accounts & Sync, add the FB account and... nothing. The only account that is there is the Google account. The app and widget work perfectly, but there is not contacts sync at all. I have tryed to add it again, but the 2nd time it returns you directly to Accounts & Sync without further questions.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

OpenVPN

Hi.

I installed 2.01 yesterday. Everything working just fine - great work!

Anyhow, I was trying to install and use OpenVPN, but I failed to connect - the config seems to be OK, the certificates are OK, but the connection drops after the server passes the IP address to the client.

I can see the server log, but there is nothing except a single line with "client-instance restarting" error message.

How can I investigate the log on the phone?

Had anyone had a success with the OpenVPN client and 2.01 edition?

I just have one last question, whenever i try to run any gps software such as IGO or NDRIVE

the software start-up and as soon as i try to lookup address for navigation to start it crashes..

I tried almost all softwares and all crashes in the same exact point

any advise on how to fix this issue?

Thank you again and Keep up the great work!

Dear Freddyemmer,

I managed to pull the build.prop with astro and edit it but i cant get it back to the /system folder

even with adb

how i can possibly disable the permission?

thank you so much again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
For your GPS problem try a factory reset. For the problem of pushing it back try root explorer or trew ADB commands you have to mount your system folder as RW in stead of RO.

mount -o remount rw /system

should do the trick.

Stability issues

I am having huge stability issues with 2.0.1 version.

E.g. running Glympse ends up multiple times with force-close, especialy when the display is about to be turned off, Sygic Mobile Maps 10 has problems calculate the directions (restart required), even the galery causes force-close.

None of these were encountered with stock firmware.

I removed the SD partition as I lost all the programs on multiple ocasions with no apparent reason, I disabled JIT and I am still having the same defects.

Any help?

bug or feature?

hi, first let me thank you for the great rom, i used 1.9 until yesterday for a few weeks and updated to 2.0.1 now.

i perhaps found a bug in the behaviour of the wake-up-screen (in both 1.9 and 2.0.1)

the phone is in standby mode. i wake it up by pressing the power-key. now it shows those bars on screen, sound off and unlock. when i push the menu-key now, it unlocks and i am on the homescreen. it happened in my trouser pocket a few times... :p

there is still the option to use the other lock-option (where you paint a figure on 9 spots). that one is safe, but i really would like the more simple way better.

am i the only one expierencing this bug? or is it in the end a feature?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tahahawa:
I actually think its easier with the menu button but I use the custom pattern now so I cant use it :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WolfgangVf845:

Problem with touchscreen

Hello, i have a problem with the touchscreen driver, somehow the offset was changed extremely. i dont know if its a hardware or software problem, i already did a complete reinstall of the phone by applying the newest mr. edition custom rom, but that didnt help.

can someone please provide me informations about how the touchsreen in the phone actually works, or maybe an update zip that resets the values to the default values.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] derfz:
I have waded through most pages on this subject and can't seem to find a resolution to my problem.

I purchased my V845 a couple of days ago and decided in all my wisdom to upgrade to the latest ROM from huawei.

V845 V100R001NZLC02B233SP01(New Zealand Vodafone).zip

Now I get an application stopped error all the time and the phone is not usable.

No, like a typical newbee I jumped right in and updated my ROM without backing up my original. Lesson to be learned here.

So now I have been looking for solutions to remedy my problem.

I have installed eclipse with all the plug-ins recommended for ADB. It works to the point where I can execute a shell, but no commands work. No permissions. The ADB server is started as root.

I don't have a card reader so I can't put the SD card in my computer. I feel that I will have to go purchase one tomorrow.

I am using FC13, so if someone has ADB working on there FC machine I would be most appreciative of any hints in getting it working as it should. I don't have access to a windowz machine.

Also, where can I get a copy of the original factory Andriod 2.1 firmware?

Other info:

Rescue mode doesn't offer me options to do anything to the SD card. The only options are:

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

When I do ./adm devices I get the response "????????????	recovery"

Any further commands return the following error:

$ put

put: permission denied

I have used put as an example.

When I start adb nothing happens on the phone to confirm any connection.

I would really like to get Vodafone 845 Mr edition working as it seems to be well spoken of, and from what I have read it will probably benefit the function of my phone.

Any comments would be most helpful in getting my new phone working again.

Regards

Fred

Hey Derfz,

Yes you can, once you backup the new phone, remove the sdcard from the new phone and insert it to the first and and choose restore backup from nandroid recovery (Amonra)

just make sure you root and install nandroid recovery(Amonra) on the first one and the second

here is a youtube video to help you to how to do that :)

hope that helped
