SpiceXT316 - Flash & Memory - General Questions and Answers

I recently flashed my XT316 with UAE Z_Generic (DMQ-4480-0-4017-A01_RFM_service) to get rid of Claro which worked.
Now, I have the following issues:
1) The storage on my phone seems to be super low and I've even taking off a lot of the apps I've downloaded.
2) I've got this En symbol that shows up in my notification widow. Letting me know that the keyboard state is English. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
3) Does anyone have a link that I can use to flash a version on CyanogenMod to my XT316?
Also, have a 32G SD Card but I can't get most of my preloaded apps to move on to it. Any suggestions?

Haykuros 5.0.1r3 apps to sd?

Hello I saw that the market thing has been fixed in his new build which is awsome and that tether options are back which is awsome hugh props to haykuro on that. Has anyone tried the new build 501r3 and have apps on sdcard and had it work. Just got 5.0.2g with apps on sdcard working now.
The market thing hasn't been fixed in the G versions. It was more complicated than he expected, so he released the new G version so people would have wifi tether.
The market is still working on the H builds.
Glad your wifi is working well for you!
I didn't see an answer to what i thought was the question.
I think i read that he is only going to be doing updates on friday? So if that is the case will all updates from here on out be apps to sd?
From the download site it doesn't say that 5.0.1r3 is apps to sd?
I dont want to assume anything here.
Haykuro has moved alll the Apps-to-SD updates to megaupload due to space restrictions.
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Check out the first entry posted. There should be links to the H and G apps-to-sd versions.
As of now there is not an apps 2 sd release. This latest r3 will probably receive an apps 2 sd shortly so enjoy your current software and give a nice donation to haykuro while we wait.
Im runnin 5.0Hr2 apps 2 sd and will be waiting with you.
The site mentioned above is where it will be when its released.

I saw the link for 501gr3 with apps on sd card but 503h is missing apps to sd card yet . But for now again major props for haykuro and will be awaitng apps to sd . Thanks guys
What's changed from 5.0.2Hr2 to 5.0.2Hr3?
Rick
check his site he keeps a good change log just i was confused since there was a apps to sd for g and not h and though or my thinking was that it was apps to sd but on can't assume.
just go here for all data about his builds
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/
To answer your question
Just got home from school guys, i have to go to work at 5 (it’s 4:14 PM now).
The update will be up a bit after work (i get off at 10 PM [GMT-5]).
Please be patient..
Update will definitely include wifi tethering support (both H and G).
Market fix i have to finish playing with when i get back, but i did manage to download 10 consecutive apps on the new G build..
see you all later.
I saw that, but I am using r2 and tethering for root users and the market both already work for me.
I went to download r3 (just now) and there is an error. File missing.

market thing
so what exactly is the "market thing"? Since 3 or 4 days I can't download apps anymore. I can still search for apps and click "install". But then always the animated download bar starts moving and never stops... I had this issue first with 4.5 then updated to 5.0.1Gr3 and still no luck. I even stopped using apps on sd and switched back to a plain install. Is this the so called market bug???

Yes. Haykuro has been trying to get the market working with the G builds, but he has found it more complicated than he first thought.
How to cgange ROM with apps on SD
I have one technical question. If I'll install ROM version with apps on SD and put them on it, then I wont install next Haykuro soft (update), should I uninstall apps from SD or back them to the phone?

Last time when I put apps on SD with JF ROM I had to visit service, after changing ROM Please, somebody who knows the matter answer my question, I'll be very glad

Try NVFlash with CWM
Hello
I have started changing my GTab, which I purchased in May from TigerD.
Here are my specifics:
Model: UPC300-2.2
Android OS Version: 2.2
Tap UI: 1.2-4349
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-000001-q0e0C333-dirty
Build FRS91
I'd just like to drop a note and let people know who are having difficulty installing CWM on their tab.
I could not get it to install. There was an error, which I can't remember what it was; when I attempted to install the software from my external SD Card.
I didn't disable the tab as it would always boot and I was trying both internal and external with no results. (Update was always ignored).
Actually I may have tried installing the internal from the external and got my self into a mess.
Anyways if you have difficulty; just follow this URL and you'll not only get back your original install but also CWM.
viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com nvflash.htm
Just follow the instructions and you should be okay.Now I'm off to look at new ROMS.
Appreciate the work on this everyone. I wouldn't have purchased this product if this information was not around.

Zopo ZP100 (MediaTek MT6575) - ICS upgrade guide

Since there isn't much information (in English) about how to upgrade the Zopo ZP100 phone to ICS I've now done it myself (after reading a lot of Russian forums using Google Translate I finally took the plunge into the deep end of the pool and just did it).
Files needed
ICS ROM (b79):
http://narod.ru/disk/48456521001.ee...T75_h932_b79_pulid_sw 20120428-14151.rar.html
Root:
http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//zopo zp100 4.0ROOT by008.rar
Flashtool:
http://narod.ru/disk/44888871001.ee...6c3e795/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1206.01.zip.html
USB Drivers (and a flashtool I didn't use):
http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/zap/ZP100fix.zip
CWM Recovery:
http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//recovery.img
First of all: Make a note of your IMEI-number(s)
Download the files and unpack all (in seperate folders).
Shutdown the phone and plug it in via USB, Windows will search for a driver which you find in the package ZP100fix.zip (different inf-files depending on windows version).
Unplug phone, remove the battery.
Replace the recovery.img from the ICS ROM with the one downloaded seperately.
Start flashutil.
Load Scatter-file: MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc2.txt
Make sure that Options -> USB Mode is selected.
Click Download
Connect phone (still with no battery, at least I had to leave it out).
Flashing begins.
When all is done it displays an "OK window".
Now reboot the phone and when booted connect to USB again and run Root.bat from the package: zopo zp100 4.0root by008"
Follow on-screen instructions.
I did not need to install any separate Google Apps, it was included in the ROM.
Now you need to add some IMEI-numbers to your phone.
In the original ROM I could only ever see one IMEI for my zp100, so I wrote that down.
IMEI2 I took from an old Nokia I hadn't used for a few years.
Use terminal app or adb shell or whatever to execute the following (replace IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 with your IMEI's):
echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,7, "IMEI_1"'> /dev/pttycmd1
echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,10, "IMEI_2"'> /dev/pttycmd1
Update: Zopo IMEI Tool in English can be downloaded from here: http://depositfiles.com/files/wi41lcuvb (should eliminate the need for the terminal-hack above). If the system language on your phone isn't set to English the utility will be displayed in Chinese by default, so setup your phone to use English before running it.
If you want your external sdcard mounted as /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead of /mnt/sdcard2 you have to replace the /etc/vold.fstab with the following:
http://www.cactuz.net/files/zp100/vold.fstab
Use root-explorer (make a backup of the old one) to replace it, then shutdown your phone and remove the battery, then plug it all back in and start again and your external sdcard shoudl be mounted on /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead.
Hope this helps.
I'll report back here with any bugs etc.
To use RecoveryMod I have to chose it from the menu in MobileUncle Tools or ClockWorkMod Rom Manager, I have not been able to boot to CWM using VolUp+Power.
Some of my favorite apps can't be downloaded from Google Play Market:
Vignette
Endomondo Pro
Snowstorm Weather Widget
GPS Status
I have been able to restore them all using MyBackup Pro and they are running fine, they just aren't compatible according to Play Market.
So any app you really need is good to make a backup of using MyBackup (or Titanium or any other backup app of your choice) so you can restore it if it can't be installed using market after the ICS upgrade.
Note that all these apps can be installed fine on my other devices using ICS (HTC Desire with CM9 and Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with CM9 or AOKP) so it's this ROM that is the issue AFAIK.
Thank you ... I'll follow up in a couple weeks
Ordered my zopo yesterday (for the second time -- waited 2 weeks from the first store (merimobiles) and then cancelled when they still hadn't shipped it. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time.)
I appreciate you posting this info and will try it out when I get the phone.
Good luck Dave,
I ordered mine from etotalk.com, got it in about a week with DHL used for shipping.
I've updated the first post with some more info in regards to RecoveryMod and mounting external SDcard as /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard).
Since I use this phone daily I will probably not experiment much with it until any new official release is available. But the current one (b79) is good enough.
There are quite a lot of crappy chinese apps (crappy since I don't know what they do and they aren't translated into a language I can understand) installed with this ROM bit they can all be removed using the normal App-menu in the system settings.
imei no.
hello, u said that u have write the imei no. of old nokia phone which u don't use. i want to know that can i also change both the imei no. as i m from india and in india only valid imei no. works, and i m planning to purchase this phone but i am afraid that if the imei no. are not according to india then it will not work so i just wanted to know that if i write my old dual sim phone imei to zopo zp100, will it work without any problem.
rohit: I can't say for sure if the phone actually reports two IMEI's to the service provider, but at least it displays two IMEI's when I check "About phone" in the sytem settings.
Sorry I can't say if it works or not in India.

ZP100 and ICS upgrade experiences
Hi Guys,
I bought the ZP100 1,5 weeks ago from etotalk.com.
After 1 week i tried to upgrade to ICS about this and Colonel ZAP's description.
My experiences with the ICS upgrade:
When i received the phone, on that was etotalk v1.0 firmware.
It is a very good customized rooted ROM, works fast and it has just some minor bugs.
The only problem was, it could only read the internal storage, when i insert an external SD card. It was strange, but i accept it programming defects.
I downloaded the official 2.3.6 and this B79 ICS, VCOM (Flash) drivers and the flash program.
At first, i downloaded the ClockWorkMod Recovery for chinese phones.
Unfortunately it is make a factory reset on the phone, but after you customize it, you can make full backup about your ROM.
IMPORTANT! Copy the backup to your computer, because the ICS ROM formatted my external SD
This is very recommended, because...
At first i installed the linked B79 ICS ROM.
The default language is chinese, but it contains english, so if you know the android, it is not a challenge to change it. It couldn't read the internal memory neither, just after format it.
It wasn't rooted, and deleted IMEI. When i tried to root (different way as 2.3.6, need USB debug mode and ADB) the Windows doesn't recognize the ADB driver. The driver wasn't in Android SDK, and i can't download it (i haven't tried it on Linux yet). For a moment Windows showed it found HTC Dream device. I downloaded HTC drivers, but it didn't work with it neither.
Without this you can't restore the IMEI.
Ok, go back to the official 2.3.6.
I flashed it back. Almost the same effects. Default chinese language, the internal memory cannot readable. I could root it and install CWM recovery back.
Basically it doesn't contains Play store, but you can install it.
The ROM full of chinese programmes and my experience was it is very unstable.
I uninstalled the chinese programmes, and installed Play store. When i wanted make a call, the phone restarts. The Google Play Store froze every time.
Finally i restore back the etotalk ROM, and i use it.
Maybe if i have time/mood i will install the official ICS, but about my experiences i have doubts with it.
p.s.: in about 30C outside temperature i used the phone (installing programmes). After 10 minutes using it sings that the battery is too hot, remove it from the phone.
Is any other better quality battery what is compatible with this phone? thanks

Hi jbctiong,
I used CWM recovery 5.5.0.4.
Just carefully, because it make a full factory reset.
And you need to insert an external SD card

What is the ClockWorkMod Recovery for chinese phones.
WHy you needed it ?
Now we can download the 4.0 official
Somebody try it ?
hello carabaothai,
I used it for backup/restore my ROM.
But you can use nandroid backup too.
Sorry for my abscence from this thread, I've been busy all weekend actually tuning a car instead of my phone
buntybauva: I've got no problems with USB Mass Storage, could you explain what problems you experience?
I made a nandroid backup of the old ROM, but I haven't used it so don't actually know if it works.
rohit: I ordered mine from etotalk.com
carabaothai:I forgot to mention that the ICS-rom I linked to (and flashed myself) is in Chinese as default, but can be changed to English using the System Settings, luckily there are icons in there so you can find the symbol for language (hint for anyone who doesn't know: It's an "A").
ICS = Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
I have not experienced problems with loosing network on the SIM cards.
jbctiong: I had not tried any nandroid backup/recovery yet, tested right now and it doesn't seem to be able to actually do any backup. Some mount errors for sdcard.
vzzoli: Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I agree that the etotalk-ROM is quite good, but I always want the latest stuff on my gadgets
I have not had any issues with reading my sdcard nor in etotalk-rom or in the later ICS-rom.
The ICS rom did not format my external SD. But one should always make a backup of course (I backup my SDcard before every flash I try).
One bug I found in the current ROM is that the Cam/Videocam-switch on the phone doesn't make any difference what position it's in.
I'm going to see what the russian forum says about the official release, I'm quite happy with the one I'm currently running so no real need to change, but there could be performance reasons to change or maybe something else.
I downloaded to the "official" ROM and updated my phone
I think this is the same ROM as B79, just renamed the version.
Remove the IMEI, not rooted, other MTP driver needed etc.
@cactuz:
What operating system did you use for root the phone?
I'm using Windows, and the new official ICS ROM wants different ADB drivers than the 2.3.6.
Without this, i can't root it, and restore IMEI.
Buntybauva's mass storage problem maybe that the Windows recognize the ICS phone as media device, but can't mount as usb mass storage without a third party program
vzzoli: I used Win7 32bit when I rooted the phone, used the scripts supplied in one of the links in my initial post.
When I restored the IMEI I used Linux since that is my prefered choice whenever using ADB.
I can't check right now what version because I've apparently forgot my VPN-password so I can't connect to my computer at work
Does the camera-switch work for changing between Camera and VideoCam on the new official rom?
hyy
after ics upgrade is anyone facing problem with gps lock?
buntybauva: Not worse than before, the GPS was terrible for me before as well as after (but I do get a fix after quite some time). Though some of the guys on the russian forum has modified the antenna as far as I know.
Maybe DangerD could help us out because I think he has been involved in it.

[Q] Help - Rooting - LG Optimus L9 - Battery level error

I bought LG Optimus L9 T-Mobile recently thinking Android is open and helps me modify things. It runs 4.1.2 v. p769-20d. To my surprise I found that it has only about 2 GB available, and it does not allow to install some apps complaining about space availability. Thinking I can solve this by adding microSD card, I added 16 GB card, but it does not use the card to install apps! I found apps2sd app, but there is no way to move apps to the SD card. Upon further research it was found that the latest Android update does not allow to use sd card space. This led me to try to root the phone. I followed the guide at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465, everything went well until step 11 where I got an error - ""Insufficient battery level to proceed". I see one more user has also asked for the same error problem (see page 34 on the same thread -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465&page=34). I sincerely appreciate all and any help, thanks in advance. - Z
I got past that point by doing the following:
master reset
fiddling with the wonky buttons until I got to the main screen. I bypassed the google sign-on etc because that would be overwhelming
settings-->dev options-->enabled usb debugging
connected usb cable-->chose LG Software as connection type
flashed kdz while phone was still powered on

[WP 8.1] Interop - Extra e info problem

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to do some registry changes in my Lumia 640 LTE, and so I need to do an interop unlock. I've followed steps from
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/development/xap-customwpsystem-patch-xaps-wpsystem-t2975419
and got stuck on installing Extras e info on SD card - Store says that the publisher doesn't allow to install it on SD card, so it's impossible to do the rest of the guide. I also tried to replace Preview for Developers, but after finishing, opening isn't possible, it just run for like 0.5 sec and then exit. Can anybody help me with this problem? My target is to reach registry files to add custom theme colours and change transparency of apps pinned on desktop, as it is in WP 10 (which I don't want to use due to problems with stability and SD card). I tried using other SD card, rebooting, reinstalling Custom and swapped apps, everything. Software is fresh, I did rollback from WP10 today. Help!
PS. Sorry for misstakes, I have to Polish my english and I know that.
