[OFFICIAL] Kyrillos' ROM Problems, Questions & Answers

Hello to all
Too many people don't have enough posts to post on my rom's thread.
So i decided to created a new thread in general!
Here you can post your problems or ask something you dont understand for the flashing process etc.
Will be posted flashing info and known flashing problems here soon.
So feel free to post your question, or report a bug!
1. How to flash Kyrillos' rom?
- Instructions: Here
2. I just flashed Kyrillos' rom and after flashing the phone bootloops (it plays the same boot sound again and again).
- You havent done a Wipe data/factory reset in Recovery mode. Remove the battery & re-insert it, go into recovery mode (Vol up + Vol down + home + power), and select the Wipe data/factory reset option. Click yes, and reboot.
3. The phone booted but my sd partition isnt working. What should i do?
- Firstly you have to ensure that you put the Hybrid Data2SD files in your sdcard. They are contained in v8.0 rom you downloaded. You can also download them from here. You must put the four files (data2sd.dirs, fs.data2sd, multiosdata, multiosdata.cache) in /sdcard/Android/data/G3mod/*. Then reboot your phone and your partition should work.
4. I partitioned my sdcard but i dont see the free sdcard (a2sd) space in Titanium Backup.
- Hybrid Data2SD doesnt show up in Titanium Backup. Its normal Fixed
5. After restoring my backup with Titanium Backup, i dont see all my apps in Android Market.
- Go in Titanium Backup, find Android Market and wipe Android Market's data. Reboot your phone, and it should be ok.
6. I have too much lag!
- Make sure that you dont have more than 50 User Apps installed in your phone.
- Go in titanium and do a batch operation: Move all apps to internal memory
- If you have a linux-swap partition in your sdcard, delete it.
- Go in Settings/Sound and disable all Feedback sounds (leave the haptic feedback checked if you want )
7. I have battery drain issue.
- Let the battery calibrate itself and after 3-4 days recheck if the problem remains.
- If your problem isn't fixed and you have installed the Overclocked version, install Setcpu and change the governor to OnDemand or Conservative. You can try to Undervolt/Underclock the cpu too. You should make a screen off profile (83min - 400max) too.
- If SetCPU is not used, in OC version, CPU frequency is at stable 800MHz, on performance, so there MUST be a battery draining^^
So, SetCPU is absolute nesassary to be installed and set up. Best working governour is ondemand, if it laggs, drop up threshold in advanced to lower level.
8. What are the best settings for setcpu? [Updated 25/10/11]
- Main tab: Min 83Mhz, Max 800-1200MHz, Scaling: Ondemand (or Conservative), Set on boot: Tick
- Profiles tab: Set on boot: tick
- Profile (1): In call: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:100
- Profile (2): Time profile: 1AM - 7AM (here put the time you sleep), min/max 83MHz, Scaling: Powersave, Priority: 99
- Profile (3): Screen off: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:98
- Voltages: Try -100mV in all frequencies from 500-1200. If it hangs, try -75mV/-50mV, apply, set on boot: tick
9. How to enable v6 supercharger?
- Go in Terminal Emulator, type "su" hit [enter] (you may see a superuser popup, press "Allow", then type "v6_supercharger" hit [enter]
- Choose scrolling speed "2".
- It will ask you if you want intergration with init.rc, choose yes (press Y).
- It will ask you if the home is locked in memory, choose no (Press whatever you want except Y)
- When you see this: Please enter option 1-30, enter 2
- Let the rest of the text scroll through. When script finishes, press the home button, then press the power button and reboot the phone.
- For best results, go in recovery and wipe dalvik-cache and cache.
Note: You must re-enabled v6_supercharger after kyrillos' rom updates!
10. I have a partition in my sdcard and each time i try to install an app from market, the phone just reboots!
- This could be a corrupted filesystem problem. Make a backup d repartition your sd.
- Wipe data/factory reset.
11. I really miss some removed apps. Where can i find them & how to install them?
- You can find any app you want in this thread [By Dharam]
- To install an app, you must put it in /system/app/. There are many ways to do that.
- a) Copy the app you want to install in your sdcard. Use an app, which called root explorer. Open it, find the app you want, copy it, navigate to /system/app/, press the Mount R/W button on the top-right of your screen once, the click paste. Reboot your phone.
- b) You must know how to use adb. adb push appname.apk /system/app/
12. Kies isn't working.
- I highly recommend you to stop using Kies and start using Titanium Backup!
- Anyway, to get it working you must download this and this app and put it in /system/app/
13. How much left data space is normal to have after i install Kyrillos' rom?
- If you dont have partition in your sdcard: ~112MB
- If you have partition in your sdcard: ~150+MB
14. Gps isn't working.
- The gps in our phone isnt the best. I did try to make it better and for many users i did succeed.
15. I have partition in my sdcard but internal storage is still 200MB instead of eg. 1200MB (if partition => 1GB)
- Its normal. Your partition works as it should, but its not full data2sd, and thats the reason that it doesnt show 1200MB.
16. One of my apps cant start because it detects that i have adblock on my phone.
- Download Adfree Android from Android Market, open it and click "Revert"
17. When i sent messages in Arabic it displays ??? ? ? ???? ??? ???
- Go in messaging settings => Input Mode: and change it to Automatic or Unicode
18. I want to set an mp3 file as ringtone or notification sound. What should i do?
- Make a "media" folder in your sdcard. Inside it make an "audio" folder and then make a "ringtones" or "notifications" folder and place the mp3. Reboot and select it from settings
19. The order of the messages is fu**ed up. How to fix it?
- Go to Settings => Date and Time. Untick "Automatic" and et the correct Time Zone!
20. Sometimes i see squares instead of letters.
- It happens because the Ubuntu font. Download android fonts from v9.0_extras if you cant live with it
21. What about themes? How can i know if a theme is compatible with kyrillos rom?
- Firstly, you have to check it it supports nine lockscreen. (If it doesnt, contact the developer of the theme and ask him to enable his theme 9 lockscreen support)
- You can replace any if the theme files EXCEPT: Settings.apk, android.policy.jar, framework.jar, services.jar. If you do replace any if those, your phone will bootloop.
- Enjoy the theme
22. What is Chainfire3D? How to configure it? (Use version v2.8)
- Info: Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality. (More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427)
- With Kyrillos' rom v9 + Chainfire3D you can play some 3d games, or play some games better than before & without white textures.
- Chainfire3D installation: Ensure that you have Kyrillos' rom v9 OC. Download Chainfire3D Free or Chainfire3D Pro, run it, accept the su permissions. Press "CF3D driver", and then press "Install". The phone will reboot in a few seconds/minutes.
- Plugin installation: When it boots up, download the plugins (search for Chainfire3D plugins on google. Plugins: libGLEMU_NVIDIA.so, libGLEMU_POWERVR.so, libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.so), put the in your sdcard and open the app. Press "Install Plugins and Shaders". The app will search your phone to see if there is any plugin available in your sd. Install all the three plugins. Go back to the main app menu.
- Configure Chainfire3D: In the main app menu, press "Default OpelGL settings". Select the option "Reduce texture quality", and then choose plugin by pressing "Use plugin". There are 3 choices: Powervr, Qualcomm & Nvidia.
- Test the plugins: Select the "Powervr" plugin and run the game you want. Run it for a minute. Then close the game and change the plugin to "Qualcomm" and run the game for a minute. Compare which plugin worked best (if it worked) and enjoy the game. Note: Nvidia games require Nvidia plugin.
23. Most of the apps are being installed in sdcard instead of internal/partition. How can i change the default app install location to internal?
- Open terminal amulator
- Type:
su (enter)
pm setInstallLocation 1 (enter)
- Done [Info: 0 (Auto), 1 (Internal), 2 (External). You can see the current state by typing "pm getInstallLocation".]
24. How to convert my sdext partition from ext3 to ext4?
- Download KMapp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301697
- Install it and run it. Accept the superuser permissions and press the menu button. Select "Filesystem Conversion". Scroll down and select Sdext => ext4 and click "Convert".
25. What is Mobile Tracker and how to set it up? (Highly recommended // Enabled it in case you lose your phone) (for Kyrillos rom v9.4+)
- The Samsung Galaxy 3 comes with a mobile tracker software by default which is not activated, as you need to register your phone and account with the Samsung online website. Only then the option works and your phone goes more safer, as the Mobile tracker is one of the best options to use when your phone is stolen or lost.
The Samsung Dive mobile tracker is something that helps you remotely work on your phone when it is stolen. The online website of its helps you in remotely swiping the phone and delete delete your private data. Though this service is not available in India, a few features of its work, like prompt SMS sending when the phone is used with any new SIM than that which was used to register with the mobile tracker. The app also helps in getting the location information of the phone.
- How to set it up (source):
α. Go to Applications => Settings section in the phone. Select Location and Security tab in it.
β. Scroll down in the menu in Location and Security, and you will see a section for Mobile tracker. Here you need to hit the “Set Mobile Tracker” option which will set the mobile tracker recipient and control the remote phone that is activated. It will take you through the process of registration and set-up of the mobile tracker.
γ. The first thing you need to set is the mobile tracker password which would be asked to you or anyone who changes the SIM in the phone. It has to be of 8 digits and all numeric characters in it. You need to remember this password for always, as it can get your phone locked if you forget it and type the wrong password multiple times.
δ. After you set the password, you need to add recipients to whom the phone sends an SMS from the new SIM to notify/alert them about the changes made in the phone.
ε. Set the information of the sender, i.e. the Sender name and the message to be sent to the recipient. And then agree to the terms.
στ. Login through your Samsung account, and if you have not registered to it, you can do that for free online by registering the product. And then you would be directed to the mobile tracker settings where you can change any recipient or make changes in the samsung account.
ζ. After everything is setup, go back to the Settings section, and into the Location and Security section. There you have to check the “Mobile Tracker” option, so that it is activated.
Note: If at all you have reset your phone through the factory reset option, all the information in the Mobile tracker is lost. You need to set it all over again.
- Now if you lose your phone or somebody stole it, you can track it and/or lock it and/or wipe all your private data in SamsungDive.

I flashed your version of ROM directly from DDJP2 with the hope that camera bug would go,and the facebook touchsite would open. But even your rom has the same thing. So i changed to the european version new release XWJPF. And its pretty stable an i can bet its boots alot faster than any of the custom rom or even offcial ROM.
Anyway is there any solution.
1)The camera bug. YOu cant click a photo unless you get a fix on location or disable the location settings.
2)Facebook touchsite wont open like it use to open in eclair. DDJP6. And when you open facebook it shows GT-I5510.
Please fix this.

Does swap makes a diffrence in perfomance?How about sd'd life is it decreased from the constant read-write?

Linux-Swap
What is SWAP?
Swap space is an auxiliary storage, such as a portion of a hard-disk, which can be used as memory by the operating system when system RAM is insufficient. This is especially useful on systems with very little system RAM, such as most DD-WRT compatible routers, as it helps prevent the system from running out of memory when multiple background processes are installed.
Swap is rarely used, and if you have a high class sd you may see more responsive phone.

So in a class 2 SD swap should not be used.

But a class 4 is OK, isn't it?

thx for this thread. Reading for a long time, but i never made a post, because its not possible on the other thread.
Using the non OC 4.1, b/c i had freezes with the OC version. But the normal version is ok for me.
@kyrillos
I tried every rom available here and yours by far the best. thx for the great work

The "gt 5510" issue is Facebook's problem, not Kyrillos's or Samsungs problem. This does not affect anything, other phones are detected falsely, too. Facebook divided phones to groups and the most ubiquotous phone is shown. This only serves for offering you the correct version of Facebook app. This is a non issue.
I never saw "the camera bug", is this present only in India?

i mean when ever i open facebook touch site the mobile site opens. And is there any solution for the camera bug???
Every time i click a photo i have to wait for a lock or have to disable the location.

My camera was working perfect on Stock eclair DDJG6. But after upgraing i am having this prblm. My camera is working perfect but if the location is enabled and if i dont have lock on my position my camera would force close if a click a photo. But if its turned off it works flawlessly. And in FROYO their isnt any option for turning off Geo-tagging.
And when i flashed kyrillos 4.1 i ddnt do any partition or anything i directly flashed it over DDJP2 by wiping cache. And i ddnt understand the procedure of the partitioning properly. I liked the ROM though.
Do you have any solution for this prblem..or a most stable ROM that doesnt have any prblm.
DDJG6>DDJP2>Kyrillos 4.1>XWJPF

tnx for thread.
I have v4.1 and i had some probs. 1st when using CoPilot and GPS. Phone was just turn off, and that happend 4 times :S. 2nd: Day before yesterday, phone just turned it self off, and i couldnt turn it on.
Everything else is OK, I have OC version and its great!
Also, can you put battery change by 1% in new version?

GPS problem flashing from Lestat 1.8 >> Kyrillos 4.1 fixed
Kryrillos,
Thanks for all these roms
Curruntly using 4.1 ultimate non OC.
4.1 OC just sometimes freezes even at 667 mhz.
Tried Lestat 1.8 alpha 14 is was very slow with reading sd card and also the phone reacts slow.
So decide to flash back to Kyrillos 4.1 non oc.
Everything works only GPS fix was not working.
After wipe cache / factory reset.
It is oke, gps fix in 30 sec or less.

can you do something about flash and 3d driver for next version ?

Facebook mobile site is supposed to open if you access Facebook trough browser. Facebook redirects you to the most appropriate version of the site for your device/browser. If you want the Facebook Touch experience, download the Facebook app - called Facebook Touch.

I have tried using facebook touch app but it redirects me to the mobile site i dont know why. Even on the official India Update DDJP2. And what about the camera bug?

Sometimes when the phone comes out of flight mode when i try to open wlan ,it does not work and a error comes in the settings.

[DEV] unofficial CyanogenMod 9/ClockworkMod Recovery 5 for Amlogic AML8726-M tablets

this is a work-in-progress development project for porting CyanogenMod 9 (ICS/4.0.4) and ClockworkMod Recovery 5 to Amlogic AML8726-M tablets.
this is not perfect at all. and I'm very busy. progress will be very very slow. I may not be able to answer your question/request. if you have some idea for improvement, please do it freely.
there is no support from any makers/vendors. you must agree all risks by installing non-supported files, it may brick your tablet, and you may lose official support/warranty.
* YOU MUST READ CAREFULLY POST#1, #2, AND #3!
* DO NOT USE IF YOUR TABLET IS NOT LISTED BELOW. IT WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!

* How to boot ClockworkMod Recovery 5
1. download recovery.zip and unzip it
2. put aml_autoscript and uImage_cwm on root of SD card
3. insert SD card
4. power on
you can flash uImage_cwm directly into recovery partition. then, you can boot recovery with VOL+ + POWER.
ClockworkMod Recovery 5 can't install official update.zip. if you want to reinstall official ROM, use uImage_recovery in official ROM.
* How to control ClockworkMod Recovery 5
for ainol NOVO8 Advanced
VOL-/jogball down: down, VOL+/jogball up: up, POWER/jogball push: select, SEARCH/BACK: back
* How to install CyanogenMod 9
1. download update.zip and put it on internal NAND flash or SD card (don't unzip it)
2. reboot recovery
3. install update.zip
4. wipe data/factory reset *1
5. reboot
*1 only if you are upgrading from non-CM9 ROM (CM9 1st install)

* issues
- mic input(audio record) doesn't work.
- accelerometer orientation on Digma iDx7 is wrong. please disable it for now.
- scaling and rotating are not worked for hardware accelerated video. video is always displayed as fullscreen and landscape. please use media player which has fullscreen mode (no UI parts).
- to use USB mass storage mode, /sdcard needs to be mounted. i.e. SD card need to be inserted, or, internal NAND flash need to be mounted on /sdcard (by Settings -> Storage -> Storage configuration -> Use internal storage).
- TS calibration is missing. resistive touch screen will not work.
* random notes
- external SD card and internal NAND flash
on CWM, external SD card is mounted on /sdcard. internal NAND flash is mounted on /emmc and referred as "internal SD card".
on CM9, external SD card is mounted on /mnt/sdcard. internal NAND flash is mounted on /mnt/nand.
- ubifs
no ubifs support for now. which is better, yaffs2 or ubifs?
ubifs should be supported if clockworkdmod is used as backup tool for official rom.
- rootfs
currently ramdisk in kernel is used as rootfs. modifying kernel by hand is not so smart.
should try to make initrd separately and pass it via bootm 2nd arg.
- reboot
reboot doesn't work. if power is connected, reboot will work, but power off also act as reboot
reboot recovery/bootloader doesn't work at all. use VOL+ while power on.
- memsicd
is running to use accelerometer (and magnetic field sensor). it also tweak axes by ro.sf.hwrotation and ro.sf.gsensorposition.
- magnetic field sensor
is detected but not worked/not existed. magnetic field aware apps may not work correctly.

hi
hello
works great.
You are really great.
your work with the de novo 8 will be finally a good tablet.
sorry I do not speak English
good luck

Thank you very much from France for your work !!!
I will try this version as soon as possible.
Bye.

First of all: Thank you! It looks great! ;
But, the "- no ubifs support" means I can't mount sd-card or connect internal memory to pc?
I tried, but it not works...
Thanks again!

I can't promise my CM7 port will be good for you. I'll do what I can do, but I can't do what you want.

thank you for your cooperation!
from my personal experience, probably some non-dev people will start to complain "XXX is not working! I need it! please support it asap!". and, 1 month after, "XXX is still not working! terrible! tell me current status of your work!".
this is development project. my files are just for dev people, and non-dev people who know dev work is really difficult or need a lot of time.
my git repo are pushed to github. anyone who can build android/cyanogenmod can build my CM7 for novo8 with it. (how to build is around here and there. don't ask here)
about me(currently only 1 dev here), I'll work for this project only on my free time. I don't have enough time as usual. nothing may be changed within a month. don't ask ETA even if I say "I'll do it soon".
as a fact, on my another project, some people waited some months to get working accelerometer.
test report is always welcome from everyone. but don't expect that issues/missing featues will be fixed if you can't fix yourself without effort.
if you don't like my CM7, please use another one. I never say my CM7 is best, I don't force people to use my CM7.

I'm looking ZT-280 gingerbread (it seems CM) rom. I think something can be used for us. e.g. they have latest mali modules
there is also Gadmei T720 (probably froyo) rom posted on www.chinadigitalcomm.com. I'll check it too.
if you know another rom for other AML8726-M based tablets, please tell me.

USB device function, mount from PC, seems to be working.
USB host function is also working.
paths in vold.fstab are wrong so SD card and USB disk can't be accessed in CM. I'll fix it in next image.
HDMI output can be enabled via set_display_mode.sh command. it may need to connect HDMI cable before booting. screen is not scaled. 720p is shifted, probably set_display_mode.sh need to be tweaked.
I need to check how it works on stock rom.

Its really great to see that some initial work is being done for that niche-tablet with great hardware potential.
I really can't await for the first working GB rom on the novo 8.
@fun_ As you mentioned yourself to have less time to work on the rom, would it be possible to share the source? As it might be a good base for other people to help improving your work.
Cheers

really soon unless no one prevent me by posting worthless question.
(for me, soon is one of which, within a day, within a week, within a month, within a year, or never happen)
--
I forgot to write (and did it just now) "don't ask ETA" on post#9.

HDMI output is tweaked. remote controller is working properly now.
20111023 files are uploaded.
repos are pushed to github. see OP. some tips should be added (will do later).

20111024 uploaded (replaced few hours ago)
fix small graphics issue

You are really cool man. Nice job.

Excellent development, Mr. fun_!
I plan to do a write up in my blog about this. As for your questions about Zenithink ZT280 of different form-factors, it's unclear whether they based on Android 2.3 or -- most probably for me, at least -- on Android 2.2.
Together with Ainol Novo 8 and Gadmei T820 there's another device looking like an Ainol's rebrand: Aigo M801.
Can anyone with this build make some screenshots, or better video clips and post them (link) here? Of interest are:
-- 2D (GUI rendering/video decoding and rendering) hardware acceleration/performance, preferably with some comparison to stock A2.2;
-- overal agility of the build, maybe some benchmarks;
-- what doesn't work at this point?
Thank you! Can't wait to publish this Mr fun_'s great breakthrough for my readers in English, Russian, Japanese.

as I wrote Zenithink released 2.3 rom. and I found Pandigital Nova has 2.3.
yes, I looked up these devices myself (was actually watching Nova since August), and then there's at least 3 models of Zenithink 280.
I got my novo8 few weeks ago, until then I didn't care any amlogic tablets at all. I need more time to learn about them
Hah! I admire your speed, Sir. CM7 Team must get you as their "official" developer ASAP. (In fact, I have a vested interest in that: I run CM7 on my Nook Color since last winter, and if you ask me, they stuck on hardware acceleration for Nook)
I think 2D is not so fast due to screen size. hardware video decoding doesn't work. I didn't use stock rom well (only few days). I need to reinstall stock rom to check some things.
Screen size/pixel count, or resolution has no effect on 2D HW accelerated rendering as long as Mali400 MP's limit on pixel count is not broken. 1280x768 is well within that limit. Hardware video decoding worked quite well in stock (A2.2) for 1080p/720p quite high bitrates, so please don't lose it, LOL.

Nobody likes Quadrant. It's the Quadrant of A2.2 vs. Quadrant of CM7 that matters, on the same Ainol Novo

You achieved a TON already, during last 2-3 days. Question is, can you do ALSA/Open GL ES/NEON/stagefright work at least no worse than in stock A.2.2? Original/stock FW coders struggle with it since this April and stay at A2.2 still. Yet Nova has it, but the quality of HW support is questionable.

[DATABASE] Best Root Apps [Updated 03 nov]

Most of you might be very much familiar with the rooting procedure. Its the process of giving yourself superuser permissions (ex - administrator in windows xp ).
If you are using a custom rom, then there is no need to specifically root your phone. But if you are using stock roms, then there is a guide to root in the forums.
Once rooted, you can now take your own decisions for your device which include improving system performance or flashing custom roms using cwm recovery or using any of these below listed apps. Use it wisely, as playing with your device performance can have damaging effects.
I AM NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY YOU.
Moving on, many of the rooted-on-stock and custom rom users might already know most of these apps and their uses, so this thread is for the beginners who have just rooted their devices.
Further, most of these apps are available in the playstore (mostly paid, but if you want the cracked versions, you can find them in the internet.
So here are some of the apps that might be useful for you. I will also update this apps list as soon as, I find more useful apps.

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.
For discussion and support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
- MANUAL -
Flashing with Mobile ODIN is easy. You start by starting the app and the app will check your system has everything it needs to continue (like root). It may need to download an additional package, so it is advised you have Wi-Fi available.
Now you should see the main Mobile ODIN screen. It will list a set of partitions. Clicking a partition will allow you to select a file from your SD card to flash to that partition. Do not worry about selecting the wrong file - Mobile ODIN will not let you. Separate files (named after the partition) as well as .tar and .tar.md5 files are supported.
From the desktop ODIN you may be used to "PDA", "PHONE", and "CSC" buttons. All three of these buttons have been replaced by the "Open file ..." button. This button will open the file you select from the SD card, and find all the partitions it can flash inside that file. So if you select a .tar file containing kernel and modem, the Kernel and Modem partitions will be set up to use that .tar file for flashing.
Now that we have selected what we want to flash, if you have the Pro version you can proceed to the EverRoot section. The EverRoot options allows you to root your firmware while it is being flashed. Never again will you be without root! Select here which apps you want to inject in the firmware that is being flashed.
Now that we are all done selecting partitions and configuring EverRoot, we continue to "Flash firmware". Mobile ODIN will gather all the information it needs and perform the flash. Before starting, however, it will check that your battery level is over 50%, and if applicable offer to verify MD5 checksums on the files you have selected to flash. If all is well, it will reboot into recovery mode, and flash the firmware you have selected.

SETCPU for Root Users
Description
Supercharge your Android device with SetCPU. A must-have tool for root users.
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings on a rooted Android phone or tablet, including the Galaxy Nexus, HTC One series, Nexus S, Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy series, and most other devices. You're under control: SetCPU can improve your performance, save battery, or both!
Automate SetCPU with profiles! SetCPU allows you to set up powerful profiles to change your settings under certain conditions, such as what app is running, when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, when the phone's temperature is too high, or during certain times of day. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to Android beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's true multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
SetCPU also includes a "voltage control" menu, available to certain devices with custom kernels that support it, to control undervolting to save even more battery. Keep in mind that undervolting is only available for certain kernels.
Recent Changes:
Additional permission: Read logs is used for efficient app condition checking. That is currently all it's used for.
3.0.0:
Profiles tab
- Completely rewrote profiles.
- Older profiles will automatically be converted into new profiles.
- Added app and day of week in addition to the older conditions, and more are coming.
- Profiles now support combining conditions under logical trees, with nestable "and," "or," and "not" operators available. It is now possible to easily build complex profiles that take the place of multiple profiles in the older version.
- Actions can now be selected individually.
- Profiles can now be marked as "non-exclusive," which means they will not block profiles with lower priorities from evaluating. In this case, the profiles with lower priorities will perform only actions which have not been performed by profiles with higher priorities. SetCPU will keep evaluating profiles until it reaches an "exclusive" profile that evaluates as true.
- All number selectors in profiles are now in the style of the frequency selector in the main tab.
- The new file extension for exported profile settings is ".setcpu.json."
- To prevent ambiguous situations, it's no longer possible to select priorities that have been used by other profiles.
- The CPU temperature sensor on OMAP4 and some other devices should now be supported for profiles. The option will appear if available.
- Notifications are now set as an action per profile and can now be non-persistent.
- SetCPU will still use the main screen as a "default profile" to set if no other profiles are active. It is now possible to specify an alternate default profile by creating an exclusive profile with no conditions at priority 0.
- SetCPU now asks for a file name before backing up profiles to storage.
- It is now possible to share profiles without having the internal/external storage mounted.
Main tab
- IO scheduler selection has been added via a drop down menu in the main tab.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the short benchmark always reported 0 ms.
- Fixed the labels in the pie graph in system info.
- Fixed some common crashes.
Permissions:
Root: SetCPU needs root permissions to modify the CPU speed and other settings.
Start at boot: SetCPU will start a profiles service at boot, if enabled. It also sets default boot settings, if enabled. SetCPU does not run in the background if profiles are not enabled, and becomes inactive after settings, if any, are applied.
Wake lock: This prevents the phone from sleeping while stress testing and benchmarking.
Write external storage: SetCPU needs to read from and write to the SD card or internal storage to back up profiles.
Read phone state: The "in call" condition needs this to determine if the user is making a phone call or not, and trigger the profile if the user wants to.

[root] CHAINFIRE3D
Description
Chainfire3D - Take control of your GPU (OpenGL) !
Take control over your GPU!
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.
!! For Froyo and Gingerbread ONLY. NOT COMPATIBLE with Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean !!
!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!
!! ROOT is required for this program, as well as a writable /system partition. S-OFF is also required on HTC devices !!
Features include reducing texture size and quality to reduce memory use and potentially increase game performance, as well as increasing memory use potentially increase performance.
If you also install the (experimental) EGL driver, AND your GPU supports it, AND you have the Pro version, you can enable 4xMSAA or 16xMSAA on a per-app bases. This can drastically improve image quality!
Be sure to check the thread on XDA for available plugins !
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427 )
Chainfire3D has been tested on:
- HTC HD2
- Samsung Galaxy S
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
- Samsung Galaxy S II
- Samsung Galaxy Note
- Samsung Epic 4G
- Motorola Atrix 4G
- Motorola Droid 2
- LG Optimus 2X
- Google Nexus S
Many users are running Chainfire3D on devices not listed here - it's likely to work on all modern devices. So far nobody has reported a failed install, so that's good. Doesn't mean problems can't happen.
!! There is some risk involved installing the driver. Your device may not boot. If you have CWM, it would be prudent to create a backup before installing !!
SUPER SU
Description

SUPERUSER
This is meant to replace Superuser (if installed), you use either one or the other. You cannot combine them. Statements that this breaks Superuser are therefore completely nonsensical.
NOTICE: A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS NEEDED FOR UNINSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE APP, DO *NOT* JUST UNINSTALL IT, YOU *WILL* LOSE ROOT.
Superuser access management runs through a so called "su binary". There can be only one of these at a time. So if you install SuperSU, your previous superuser access management solution will no longer operate. So if you want to switch back: (1) Open that application, and search for an option for it to install/update/replace the "su binary". (2) Confirm root-using apps are using the superuser solution you want. (3) Uninstall SuperSU.

BATTERY CALIBRATION
Description
Calibrate your battery when you think it's miscalibrated.
Requirements: Android 2.1+ | Root permissions
Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed.
It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break.
The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.
The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around 4200mV.
There is an option to beep when 100% is reached so you don't have to closley follow the changes.

Sixaxis Controller
Description
*** Caution: This app is not for the faint-hearted!! ***
Please read all instructions carefully.
Not all devices are supported, therefore it is strongly recommended that you try the 'Sixaxis Compatibility Checker' (available for free in the Android Market) before purchasing this app.
Finally the wait is over... The ultimate gaming experience awaits! Now you can play games on your phone the way they were meant to be played! Sixaxis Controller allows you to use your Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers in many of your favourite games and applications.
*** IMPORTANT ***
- ROOT access is required!!!
- Due to the way pairing is done with the controllers, you need to manually pair your controller with the PC utility 'SixaxisPairTool' (available on the website) and a mini-USB cable. Android 3.1+ users can also pair directly on their devices via USB.
- It is highly recommended that you use an ORIGINAL controller. Many after market controllers will not work with this app. If you get a 'Client connected: 1' message, but the lights on your controller continue to flash, it is almost certainly not an original Sony controller.
- Be sure to read the instructions in the help menu carefully.
Features:
- Up to four Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers supported at once.
- Support as a native gamepad in Android 3.1+ devices. Full support for analog sticks and analog triggers.
- Keyboard emulation. Map all buttons and sticks to almost any key available in Android.
- Mouse emulation. Configure a button to activate the mouse pointer on devices that support mice (most tablets, and many phones should work).
- Touch emulation allows you to map buttons and analog sticks to the screen. Play all your favourite games with full analog support, even those without built-in controller support!

I've asked the xda people for an explaination and I received the following message:
Hi,
it looks like ost of the Zopo threads were started by a member who is now banned, so we removed those threads.
Regards
Administration
xda-developers.com
so we need to rebuild this one!!
I have some questions for this system:
I can't figure out how to connect it to my Windows 7 system,, still downloading the wrong drivers.
How to root the device.. safe way.
oops, didn't check the zopo site: http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-1074-1-1.html
but I've been reading something else here which was easier to do.
so fill in the gaps please!
And I have some problems with microphone volume. people are complaining that the volume is to low.
hopefully someone will post me the answers.
Greetings from a new Zopo user..

"so we removed those threads"
Just like that? Just because this user was banned?
What about the ZP990 user who came to this thread to find info and help regarding his new phone?
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS BANNED, EVERYBODY'S PAYING A HEAVY PRICE.
Does it occur to the Administrator that this thread is (was) basically the only thread available on the whole internet for this new phone? There was really no other solution? What do we do now?
And I'm not even mentionning the Zopo official site who is far to be as helpful as this thread is (was).
Hopefully the Admin will take the user's need into consideration and will reconsider.

Why deleting a whole thread just because the user is banned?
He (or she), had amazingly simple guides for this phones, and links. Such a shame. . . I was supposed to follow one of them yesterday for upgrading firmware, now it's gone

I rooted by using only SnapPea http://dl.snappea.com/release/SnapPea_2.36.0.2265_newuser.exe
and eroot_v1.3.4.exe http://www.runamux.net/search/view/file/9fLmV0ty/ERoot-1014.html
Note: USB Debugging mode must be active on your phone.
Also, If you have antivirus it will try and block eroot when running, as it does with all root tools. I temporarily disabled it. Don't have any direct link, but it's on 4shared somewhere.
Just installed it on my W7 computer, ran it and voilá!
Well, at first SnapPea didn't fint my phone, but somehow it did eventually without me downloading any driver. just messed around with the USB settings on the phone. But I think you can find the correct windows driver here: http://www.4shared.com/zip/2af2t3I8/MT6589_drivers.html
Simplest root
Some say you only need to download the MTK driver (http://www.4shared.com/zip/ykW0IGDv/Driver.html), set phone to USB debugging mode and then run eroot (link above). No need for SnapPea.
Firmwares
Going through my log I found this: http://ajnhb5iw3h.l29.yunpan.cn/lk/QXCRdkKHzszvL
Firmware I think. Haven't installed it yet, was suposed to do that yesterday.
Another one here: http://ajewn7iqgb.l29.yunpan.cn/lk/QXGa53pdVrzMW
But I think that's older based on name (130818 [august 18th] vs 130904 [september 4th])
I think I'll follow the guide at the forum you linked to for updating SW. And looks as if it should be simple to Root using that guide as well. Although not as simple as snappea + eroot.

Youtube-vid for firmware and flash tool: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v_cae5p_go‎
(youtube is blocked where I sit now, so I can't check if it's worth having or not. But simply gathering things here now.)

Thanks FlipMorten for this tutorial.
- From which website did you took this exactly? How reliable? Did you try some by yourself?
- Also, why trying to modify the firmware of the Touch Screen?

So, here is my latest post and instruction because many users asked me via mail.
Download this pack: http://www.4shared.com/zip/ttg16QU0/RootDrivers_MT6589T.html
This is driver pack (works on W7 and W8) but could be in some case that you have to disable the digital sinature check before installing them and pack for root the device if you will install any rom which is non-rooted.
So download this and get drivers installed, then you can download my complete C7 ROM folder her:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/b-S-fbrx/7GB_Flash_20130915.html
This is the complete folder with latest ROM (rooted...means you will not need to root after flash) and the EBR Mod, to have 7 GB of internal storage after flashing, this ROM works really great and you can use for theming or things like that XPOSED Framework after flashing, everything runs like a charm!
How to flash:
Unzip this zip folder (best on desktop to find it easier) and start the SPFlashtool.exe. (make sure the drivers are installed), use the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt from my folder (Change nothing in folder!!!) and take a look, that everythink is checked! Click on download button!
Shut down the phone and take of batterie....connect the phone now with your PC using the USB Cable and wait until flash is running...when drivers will be installed, wait after connecting, in the end you will see different colored lines ins flashtool and a Green OK button will appear, now disconnect the phone and put batterin in, start and have fun with a rooted C7 incl. 7 GB of internal storage!

I got it from zopomobileshop's forum.
I think it's reliable, as they sell this phone and have close ties to Zopo.
Modifying the touch screen is so that one can answer the phone while having the flip cover closed. Touch through the window of the s-view flip cover. Basically increasing the sensitivity or something. Not a modifification I want or need, as I don't use the flip cover - and even when I did, it wasn't any issue to open the cover to answer and then close when talking. At least not when it's so risky now. They said it might be implemented in a coming firmware.
I'm just going to upgrade the firmware

Thanks Petteri,
Is it possible for you to upload this at something else than 4Share: For some reasons I'm having a hard time to download this...

Easy root.
For those who need root. Search framaroot here at XDA. One Click apk.
Supposed to work on various devices also Mediatek 6577 and 6589.
Just rooted my mothers 6577 and its really one click, and reboot !
Thanks

Problem with new firmware: the phone turns off by itself
I upgraded to the Zp990_20130904_163745 firmware (with the new touchscreen firmware) following the steps you can find here:
http://www.androidiani.com/forum/zopo-modding/335606-modding-zopo-zp990-capitan-s.html
The forum is in Italian, so I translated the text with Google translate. It worked fine with the s-view like cover. I also flashed the CWM 6032 for ZP990 with Mobileuncle Tools. Rooted with eroot.
However, after that my phone started to turn off by itself from time to time. I don't know the reason. So I flashed back the zp990_20130818-102950 firmware and the original recovery. No problems so far.
Did you guys have the same problem?

Use of 64 GB sd card in ZOPO ZP990
Hi all,
Happy to see you back after the original thread disappeared. I asked a question in that whether anybody use 64 GB memory card in the phone. Is it fine or any lag. I am planning to buy one for the phone.

Thanks for your immediate reply.
Saw your video review of the mobile. Certainly the best of all available. Very informative. Did you encounter any ghost touches?

No, everything works really fine!
i inastalled same Apps like on my GALAXY NOTE 2, all apps works,
When you will use XPOSED Framework (for personal theming and settings), you can use these Modules (see picture):

Thanks Petteri,
I got your files.

In specs and images it was posted as (will insert image later)
(all is rather optimistic and NOT what it came like!)
it appeared as(will insert image later1)
and issues with me trying (and achieving some sort of control level) there from
(will insert image later)
varied degree of success working on it gets me to (will insert image later2)
So, I have managed to disable some apps, once managed to get mobile networking connections to the 1Mobile Market and get some apps to work, but not GooglePlayStore. Most of remaining (and new apps) are not in Chinese no more, so I am very hopefull, that with rooting I'll get rid of the rest of them gremlins.
Actual specs (will insert image later3)
The questions to you Gentleman (and) Ladies:
1- Do I have to (must) root the device, so that GooglePalyStore would work? as currently, it is installed, but majority of apps are kicking some or the the sort of errors(unsupported etc), and actual GoogleStore app- "works" via Browser...
2- If yes, how do I (step by step) root it in order to have better control? (what applications( with links please) I should install for such Odyssey and what order etc please!?
3- If rooting, is it possible to Get IE 4.4.0 ROM to install?(instead of 4.1.1)- what will happen to the features of IE analogTV receiver hardware management?
4- Would it matter at all, if device is not rooted, but intended to be installed iGo Primo is packaged somehow with GooglePlay app?- will it work? or will that "modified" app work with rooted device all together? (I already learned, that IE Traffic recorder apps are only available on Google)- meaning not available for me for now...
Very many thanks for the answers and ideas in advance!

Am I wrong in believing, that particular tablet is really just a different badge wearing JXD P1000 MTK8377 tablet?
Hardware specs seem to match, as well as appearance/hardware configuration seems ever so similar, is it that daft of an idea to consider rooting and replacing ROM with one, made for JDX device?
