i wanted to know if an android device does not have the android market ; is it possible to put .apk files on the phone even though you do not have the android market? And can you install the apk's on the phone using a PC?
Thank you,
HTC 5588 Pure (clone) WinMobile 6.5
Whether it is possible to load Android through haret on it?
I have in console after haret run:
HaRET boot
Shutting down hardware
Turning off MMV....
In preloader
PSR=600000df
wait ~20min -> no changes..
P.S. Is any custom ROMs for htc 5588 pure (clone)
Thanks..
ROMs are created to work on specific devices. I doubt if anybody is developing for clone models!

Received my Spice Mi-500 - running commentary
Just received it 18 hours ago - this will be a running commentary on it. In a week's time I will post my full review
1) Looks good - not too bulky
2) Screen resolution is 800x480 - but its not pixelated. Screen bright and colors look accurate
3) Camera pathetic - some software bug creates hyper-contrasted and hyper-colored photos - needs a software update to fix this (NB: changing the camera settings on contrast, color, etc does nothing and photos still look pretty bad)
4) No compass - no magnetic sensor - Is this not present or has this not been activated??
5) The CPU and GPU are pretty good - MTK6577 dual core 1Ghz processor is fast and Antutu benchmark scores are very close to the Samsung S2. GPU works well on HD games (not fully tested)
6) Software is android 4.0.4 - not too many tweaks by Spice. A few preinstalled apps like TOI, dhingana, etc
7) Very responsive and fluid - no hangups or crashes yet
8) Battery life seems fine (but, not fully tested). GPS sucks away battery at the rate of 1% per minute. 3G usage is not as battery hungry
18hr report - great value for money phone - desperately needs a software update to fix the camera bug
Hello Vind_r,
Welcome to xda (I noticed it was your first post) and also to this thread.
Have you had any prior experience with any Android smartphone? Do you know rooting and stuff? If yes, then please check out if the processor given in the original post works for the mi 500 or not.
If no, you might want to check out the [URL ="http://www.droidiser.com/2012/07/must-have-apps-for-android-beginners.html"]list of must have apps for your new Android phone.[/URL]
Coming to the benchmark thing, can you post a screenshot/snap of the benchmark screen showing the results. Also try out the quadrant benchmark score and post it here so that we can compare it with some other devices. You're the only one here (at present) who is having the device, that's why I am asking you to do so much stuff

If it works fine, your device has a magnetic sensor. Android phones most probably have a magnetic sensor.

I have experience rooting a lot of android devices - I have had android phones and tablets and have rooted/unlocked/hacked/installed custom rom/etc on them all!!. But I am not going to root/hack/customise my mi-500 for the next month - want to check out how all the hardware/software parts work before I start tweaking it. In a month of so, I will definitely start customising my mi-500 and I will certainly report back on this forum.
Coming to the benchmark, I have attached the Antutu benchmark scores - scores quite well (especially when one considers the price). But, am not a big believer in benchmarks - like real-life testing using real-world apps. The processor seems quite capable - In 1 day of mild usage, my Mi-500 has been very smooth, very fluid - does not hang/stutter or slow down in anything mild. I have browsed extensively using the stock browser, played a couple of casual games, recieved/sent emails, opened pdfs/ppts/doc/xls etc using kingsoft - basically used it non-gaming, work purposes - processor has handled it well. Will start throwing more intensive things at it over the weekend and will report back. Have not tested the GPU extensively - another thing I will do this weekend

Have used multiple camera apps - all end up looking similar - there seems to be some weird OS/firmware level bug that creates horrible pictures. On the veiwfinder screen, things looks balanced - when clicked and opened, everything is over saturated. Definitely needs a software update/camera firmware update to correct this
My mi-500 does not have a magnetic sensor (or it has been deactivated at the OS level). No software recognises/identifies any sort of magnetic sensor and no compass or map app shows this either. Have used multiple android system informers/elixer/compass type apps - all report that there is no magnetic sensor.

Does anyone else with a Mi-500 also have the same camera problems? And does any other Mi-500 have a compass/magnetic sensor in it?? Could I have received a dud Mi-500 with these two problems?

1) Antutu benchmark posted - please above
2) Have not tested the screen for scratch resistance. Will not test it deliberately - but, it will be evident in a month or two if it is.. Will reprt back
3) It does not get heated under normal and 3g use. Top of screen gets heated when charging - makes it very difficult to hold to ear for ~2-3 mins after charging - cools down soon though
4) Battery life not yet fully tested - but has lasted whole day with 3G on and intermittent use
5) Have not played any HD game on it yet
6) No magnetic sensor/compass - do not know if this is a bug in my phone or if it is omitted altogether or it it needs to be activated at firmware/OS level through a software update. But - at the moment, no compass - no gyroscope. All other sensors present - proximity, accelerometer, etc
7)We browsing is super smooth using stock browser - dual core processor really helps (+ ICS browser is quite good)
8) If 3G is on on the master SIM, then data can be used on the 1st sim and 2nd sim is active also (for calls only)
9) Spice have sent it with a screenguard on - leaving it on for 1-2 weeks. So, havent checked if screen is oleophobic or regular
10) It is indeed 200g. It has a second flip cover based back cover also included in the package - if you remove the stock back cover and put this flip cover, then the weight goes up by 10-15%
11) Feels comfortable to hold. Of course with a 5 inch screen, no way can you do everything one handed - you need two hands or to keep it on a table for some activities
12) Material is white with a silver trim on the side - all plastic. Feels decent

The screen is 800x480 - but its still sharp at normal distances (its not a retina display by any stretch, but at normal viewing distances it does not matter). It has only 2 touch points - but have no complaints as it is very sensitive and the sensitivity can be dialled up or down at the OS level.
Battery life is quite good - no fully tested, but in normal usage with 3g always on and wifi off and auto brightness, even after 8 hours of moderate usage, 50% battery life is left (single SIM only - am sure if both SIMs are present and active, this will decrease the battery life)
Spice Mi-500 is manufactured by Chinese OEM Konka - sold in China as Konka W990
Found this when I was exploring the menu options. Please find below additional details and specifications of this phone. (have also attached two photos of the W990 - obviously, other than the branding, it looks exactly same as mi-500).
Hope this information helps those of us creating custom ROMs etc.
BTW - this forum is not allowing me to post links

Confirmed that the Mi-500 does NOT have any magnetic sensor or compass (the original chinese version also excludes compass/magnetic sensor in its descriptions. So, its not just my phone - all Mi-500s lack a compass.
Tried using Google Navigate without compass - works quite well and maps out orientation well - only problem is when you are stationary - then, it does not show which direction one has to start out. But, after 5 mins of usage, did not have too many problems.
Installing and Rooting CWM
Hi Folks
I am using ZOPO ZP900 Leader phone and since the Spice Stellar uses the same processor MTK 6577, I am sure most of you will be seeking ways and means to Install CWM and root the phone.
MTK requires a Flash Tool to load ROMs. I have made a detailed guide for Installing CWM on ZOPO which can be accessed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899412
For video guide you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfemoi6Aizw. The method is same when using Flash tool !
Note ZOPO device comes rooted but without CWM and hence my requirement was slightly different.
You can use this method to flash CWM and use the options including making a nandroid backup, but I am not sure if flashing any of the available Su signed.zip files in this forums will effectively root this device (this was method to root the earlier Spice MI 410).
I am not a dev and maybe a dev/experienced member can comment on this.
Nevertheless this is a beginning ! If anyone make headway please do share and report for others benefit.
Also note there are many MTK 6577 devices and some have already released MODs based on Stock Rom. PLEASE DO NOT FLASH THEM since rest of the device hardware is very different !

Hi Folks
I am using ZOPO ZP900 Leader phone and since the Spice Stellar uses the same processor MTK 6577, I am sure most of you will be seeking ways and means to Install CWM and root the phone.
MTK requires a Flash Tool to load ROMs. I have made a detailed guide for Installing CWM on ZOPO which can be accessed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899412
For video guide you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfemoi6Aizw. The method is same when using Flash tool !
Note ZOPO device comes rooted but without CWM and hence my requirement was slightly different.
You can use this method to flash CWM and use the options including making a nandroid backup, but I am not sure if flashing any of the available Su signed.zip files in this forums will effectively root this device (this was method to root the earlier Spice MI 410).

For porting cwm use yuweng's guide present here at our xda....just search it. ...
My experience as a mtk user is that, I should better go back to samsung for any of their exynos or snapdragon...!
You can get the recovery.img of your stock recovery, then you can mod it so cwm can work with your android model.
If you don't already have the recovery.img file,to get it, first install terminal emulator on your phone(Your phone must be rooted for this!), then launch and type in:
$ su
# cat /proc/mtd
This should give you an output like:
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"
Now, check for the "recovery partition" , that is which "mtd" it's on. Here it's on mtd1, it might be different for your phone. With that info type in the terminal emulator(You should have your sdcard inserted before proceeding):
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd1(OR whichever mtd YOUR "recovery" is on) > /sdcard/recovery.img
Now upload that recovery.img file at http://builder.clockworkmod.com and see if the cwm works out for the Mi 500.
hi i brought two mi 500 ,, 2 days prior i had brought karbon a18 for my fried
battery backup is good but not good as mi 350 , screen is better in a18 but battery sucks of karbon only 1500 ma
gps and wifi sucks battery like hell
if i play 1080dpi battery drains like hell 2-3 points per min
camera is ok not bad , face unlock which i love most....
MI-500 and Exchange/ActiveSynch
Hi All,
Yesterday I purchased Spice MI-500. Its one good looking phone and I am loving it already. But there is a disappointment. I am not sure where the problem exists. Your inputs would be valuable.
I am trying to connect the phone to my office MS Exchange 2010 / ActiveSynch server using Email stock app. With all the credentials / settings correct, it errors out saying "Can't connect to server"
Talking to my admin, he reported this error on the server: 2012-10-12 06:52:07 10.51.1.90 POST /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/default.eas Cmd=FolderSync&User=somename%5Cusername&DeviceId=S piceMi-500&DeviceType=Android&Log=V141_LdapC1_RpcC13_RpcL 31_Cpo19968_Fet20013_S108_Error:deviceIdNonAlphanu meric_Mbxcmail02.officedomain.com_Throttle0_Budget D <truncated>
Note: Error:deviceIdNonAlphanumeric
The device id is : Spice MI-500.
Is "-" the problem? How do I work around this? Its defeating my purpose to buy this phone as a business / smart phone.

I'm A WRITER AND I Dont like PLAGIARISM !!!
although It is fine for me if you will rewrite it in your own words
Oh I will introduce my self first, I am From the Country of [>--] Philippines, though very few developer came from our country, this is because of the LACK of INTEREST / PASSION of most of my countrymen.

I AM NOT HELD RESPONSIBILITY IF IN ANY CASE YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED!
EXCLUSIVELY FOR Skyworth's Skypad x7010 only, but may also work on chuwi v88 [not tested]
I do provide unbricking service for a fee, but if you will read thoroughly this whole post, you will see the keywords to search for to unbrick rockchip rk30 devices!
DETAILS
I do believe that these tweaks / Performance increase / Speedup can be applied to all RK3188 devices, with the same logic / techniques can also be applied to rk3066 to maximize the performance. BUT BEWARE ON THE RAM(MEMORY) CHIP!!!!
Now here are the information on What i Modded and how to Improve the Performance
NOTE: (If the performance of my tablet on the video on youtube is the same as the performance of stock rockchip rk3188 tablets/devices, please do say it to me so that I will be able to change some Description on all of my posts across the INTERNET!! Thank you!)
so.... here is the learning diary and test journal
CHAPTER 1. Full brick at 1st week
The x7010 did not had any kind of update OTA from skyworth, and was replaced quickly by x7011. Since skyworth is a chinese company, i am not really expecting anything from them. but the sad part for me was when i bought the tablet, (About $150 converted currency) and then looked over the internet for supports such as CWM Recovery, CROM, Cyanogenmod or anything else, I FOUND NONE! Great! Not even a Copy of STOCK ROM! Which give me the idea of studying/learning the developing since i had already interested in doing so, and will also make me one of the pioneer custom developer/cooker for our device.... YEY!!... but it was not easy, IT WAS A HARSH PATH....
After my 1st week of trying, I already got a FULL BRICK ON MY DEVICE, But lucky me, im a great actor, so it ended up replaced from the store since it was still covered in the 1week replace 1 year service warranty. (I had softbricked the device by trying to flash Finless rom 1st try, then glassrom 2nd try, then i fully bricked it by flashing with no bootloader & parameter, erase nand db so that the store wont find out that it had been rooted and flashed!)
Chapter 2: Unbricking Success!
So on my 2nd chance, First thing i did was to do a ROMDUMP for backup (NO CWM YET), then I tried to create another CWM Again BUT I FAILED, Where i left it as is with no recovery but working system.... then i posted my 1st post here and in freaktab WHERE I stated that I want to learn and dont want to be spoonfed... Then after a few days, leolas tried to make the CWM!!! but I cant seem to flash it via flash_image, so I used a 1.37 rk tool, to flash the recovery, (Now i know that i messed up the partition offset of the recovery before so it doesnt really boot to recovery!). but by testing out what i understand from the forums, researched alot regarding parameter, mtd partition, the way android system boots and operates, i finally flashed the CWM Successfully on my device! so i backed up trice the device, and since i was so excited, i tried to flash a new rom again, but the excitement and an old mouse that double/triple clicks BRICKED my device by flashing it with NO PARAMETER AND BOOTLOADER, and all other are checked and the flash are already being erased.
No more bootloader mode, no more adb, not detected in PC In any way. then i found out the pin 8& 9 shorting for the nandflash unbrick method, tried it, stripped down my tablet, but i was so sleepy so it resulted in a failure. I dreamed that i will be able to revive the device by retrying it so when i woke up, the first thing i did was to do the PIN SHORTING then i plugged the usb cord, then poof,! Success! MASK ROM MODE FOUND!! then flash my romdump (Backup from cwm with tar and tar.a cannot be flashed ). Although i have one problem, the dump have the system in .tar and i need a .img, so once again, GOOGLE! kept on searching till i stumbled on a forum where an instruction of how to make a System.img flashable from update.zip. Using a Linux mint VM then plus learning basic syntax of linux, got it working ! .
Chapter 3 - BRAVERY!
This scenario made me think that NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW! since it was the most difficult part for me, especially the unbricking part. so ill make it a little bit short, i flashed many roms, and recorded the differences for every rom,(ALL ROM ARE FOR RK3188, m9, u8gt,mk908, t428, glassrom, m9, etc), some rom displays, some don't, some boots, some doesn't. I also learned to logcat, read logcats, read and debug using dmesg. the rom that had been most compatible for my device is the chuwi rom v88 by oma (Yeah it rocks!) with working wifi, bluetooth, and everything else except for 3 problems, Inverted Camera, Accelerometer not working and NO SOUND! NO AUDIO! WAAAAA but was able to use it still, and checked the performance. run some benchmarks, played some games, although no sound, it was fine, with a few random lagging.... still, i continued to study it and modifying.
Next part was the System UI - framework.res and baksmaling and modfying apks, mostly for the User interface, and those were pretty easy since you can use the TRIAL AND ERROR Technique!. I have already the idea for the configs in build.prop, and just did some trial and error. By doing all of this, continuously, i am learning different syntax & commands too using adb and terminal emulator. so in the end, i maximized the performance of the rom, without touching the kernel. But i still notices the lag, one scenario is this, Fresh boot, Playing NBA2k14, then by some reason, after the camera zoom, the game slows down or get a little lag, about 22 - 28 fps, in order to get back to the max fps gaming, sometime i touch the notification area, sometime pause - resume. and when i am on max fps on any game, then accidentally touched the home / recent button, when i return to the app, it gets so lag! and when playing simultaneous game, it gets really lag.
Start the tweaking
I know this symptom, Applying my knowledge & experience in desktops. I had declared to myself that THIS IS THE EFFECT OF A BOTTLENECK! (Unbalanced specs & performance) or Memory bus width too low therefore bandwidth limits the overall performance so i checked the OC of the device, then found out that it was not overclockable thru software.
Google is my friend, and found out that i need to compile my own kernel that enables the Clock adjustment of the device to exceed the 1.6ghz. I was too naive that I Underestimated RK3188's Power. my initial goal was to OC the CPU itself, but after googling hours and hours, asking my mentor on how to compile a kernel, looking for sources which was the same for our device, eventually i found none xD, then, I stumbled upon.... OVERCLOCKOMATIC / Patchomatic!! a linux app that enables patching kernel's clock settings. And i found out that it can patch ram / gpu / cpu!
Since i was An Experienced Overlclocker (Overclocking on desktop, e5400 (2.7ghz Raised to 3.15ghz), On AIR / STOCK FAN + Exhaust & intake circulation). First i did was a hand made heat spreader (To make this, you need an aluminum foil, fold it into three, with the width of about 1-1.5 inch, then cover most of it with any tape except for the part that will be connected to the target(my target is the cpu), and the other end for the receiver/outer/safe place to transfer heat.) first, my target is my procie and spread it through the sd card slot, and another one from the procie to the aluminum case on the wifi & bt (it was covered!) i moved the 1st end from the sdcard slot to the back cover later on when i realized that i might damage the sd card or the socket itself .
Then I tweaked it and tweaked it for days, checked stability, compared results.
our kernel is 3.0.36 compiled on ubuntu! Yey! at first i was running the device on 1.8ghz, then later on i reverted it back to 1.6ghz, due to heat issues that may damage the device with prolonged use and to save battery spantime too.
But not everything is about the clockspeed, especially when i checked the GPU CLOCK IS ALREADY MAXED, So what would be the cure or solution for the bottleneck....
of course, the logics of tweaking a processor or ram or gpu are the same for the desktop. SO HERE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT I LEARNED AND WILL SHARE FOR EVERYONE EVEN IF THEY ALREADY KNEW IT OR HAD IT ON THEIR DEVICE ALREADY OR DOESNT hAVE A CLUE!
Chapter 5: OVERCLOCKING? the correct term to it for me was clock correcting / clock tweaking.
This is the EXACT modification of the kernel clock and stepping on both cpu & gpu and ram on my kernel which IS INCLUDED IN MY CROM Where everyone in our country(philippines) with x7010 tried and was satisfied of the great improvement of performance. and last week, some russian had already visited our facebook group and was testing my rom already . they also shared some roms of their own, although i think they are ported too.

RAM
modifying the RAM (2g DDR3 sdram 1600mhz) to be run @800mhz like a ddr2 instead of the stock @400mhz like ddr1 thus increasing the bandwidth have a huge impact on MALI-400mp4 gpu since the Quad Core Rockchip Processor were fast enough to make up for the lost clock cycle but lacks bandwidth because of the 32 bit bus width. BEWARE! Our ram is 2gb ddr3-1600mhz, which have a normal voltage of 1.5v. Low profile sdram modules have only 1.2 / 1.3v normal running voltage. YOU WILL NEED TO MANUALLY CHECK THE SDRAM MODULES ON THE DEVICE ITSELF TO IDENTIFY What type of ram it is, is it a ddr3 sdram? ddr2? a low profile? and clock timings? Ive used google to fully identify my hynix ram specs and even tried running the RAM @ 800mhz 1.5v and no restarting / corruption issues! it just that it drains the battery really fast. for our device, the exact and sufficient Voltage for the ram to perform well @ 800mhz is around 1.3v - 1.35v although im using 1.3v only. THIS IS NOT APPLICABLE TO ALL RAM and WILL REQUIRE MOST OF THE ATTENTION, EFFORT AND TIME TO APPLY CORRECTLY AND SAFELY!
I cannot guarantee your life or you freedom !
Some Info on ram: Lower clock speed of ram have faster clock cycle (on default clocks of actual ram sticks) Higher Clock Speed of ram have slower clock cycle BUT Bigger Bandwidth.
Low Profile RAMS Uses less energy(VOLTAGE), expect a slight decrease in overall performance....
Some Rams have lower clock cycle and latency in their stock settings compared to other. This are the high profile / OC'ed version of rams..
Anonymous asked: "Why did you use ddr800 against ddr400 config for our ram?"
RK3188 is a quad core processor with 512kb (L2 cache per core i believe) running @ 1.6ghz which are ULTRA FAST and can be compared to an AMD athlon Mobile processor ! it was so fast that before that RAM Cycles to refresh, all the data have been stored in the ram had been processed already, so there was really no need for the quick cycle, PLUS The GPU Is an Onboard/SOC/bundled along with the CPU (like intel's I series and AMD A Series). Now They will need a Bigger bandwidth so the power of the cpu can be utilized more since more data (RAM IS 2gb, can store a lot of data! Really...) can be passed as the bandwidth is higher. therfore GPU have a wider data path for transferring the rendered graphics data to the cpu to process then pass back to the GPU or ram, dpending on situation, without clogging up the I/O Path.
Short Answer: Faster GPU and Read/Write speed at no cost (aside from a little energy drain for the increased voltage of ram, since the cpu can handle that load!)
Chapter 6: Cpu and GPU
CPU
Kernel patched, using rkpatchomatic / overclockomatic! (linux)
I also reduced the Clock stepping and adjust the voltage of the cpu from:
312mhz @ .9v
504mhz @ .925v
816mhz @ 1v
1008mhz @ 1.075v
1200mhz @ 1.150v
1416mhz @ 1.250v
1608mhz @ 1.350v (this may not be right, if i am not mistaken it was only 1.3v @ 1.6ghz on stock)
(6steppings)
to
504mhz @ 1v
1008mhz @ 1.115v
1416mhz @ 1.250v
1608mhz @ 1.350v
(4steppings)
AND the GPU speed increase by loading the driver module with:
insmod /system/lib/modules/mali.ko (removed mali_dvfs & mali_init_clock=133)
and also changing the GPU voltage and stepping FROM:
133mhz @ .975v
200mhz @ 1v
266mhz @ 1.025v
300mhz @ 1.050v
400mhz @ 1.100v
600mhz @ 1.250v
(6 Steppings)
To
200mhz @ 1.05v
400mhz @ 1.15v
533mhz @ 1.2v
600mhz @ 1.35v /1.3v
(4 steppings)
OR
266mhz @ 1.05v
400mhz @ 1.175v
600mhz @ 1.35v
(3 steppings)
The Steppings Reductions Resulted in a VERY VERY Fast Application Switching (Not using a multiwin rom, but able to run about 6-7 HD games with seemingly no lags on switching). BUT Additional battery power may be consumed because of higher idle values for each settings.
My theory, explanation, and strategy was.....
GPU & CPU Steppings logic are the same, while for the GPU the clock increases, so as their texture and pixel fillrate. But gpu power may not be nough @ 1.25v during heavy loads, that is why i've used the maximum allowed voltage for the gpu, and adjust most of the voltages so that the system will never be short on current especially when switching state.
Wanderer asked: "why did you reduced the steppings and what exactly is that?"
Stepping is the term I used for the clock settings / stop point, It came from intel, they use Speedstep and steppings. as you can see, Most of the time, when not playing hd games or not running so many many apps, The cpu (based on my new config) will either run fine at 500mhz, - 1ghz only. (large bandwidth maximizes the power of the quad core of rockchip). so it wont need to adjust itself to 1.4ghz unless it really needs it, and it will not revert back to 500mhz unless all apps and memory are cleared and closed. (Even if you press the recent apps, it will stay @ 1ghz and will not drop to 500mhz). When running a solo HD game, except for 2013 Q4 HD games like CoD & GTA SA, cpu will be fine @ 1ghz, when running other apps, like browser, music player, etc etc, it will be kept in memory, and the cpu will have to speed up itself so it will be stable @ 1.4ghz, when running multiple hd games, it will run @ max 1.6ghz.
The stepping settings helped the cpu to be STABLE @ certain clock during prolonged usage.
Plus, rk3188 is not a very good at clock switching / stepping adjustment. Some users of rk3188 uses a cpu tweaker and set their clock permanently to 1.6ghz right? but it consumes battery faster. I tried different numbers of steppings and clock config and this was the best result for performance. Well in reality, if you are going to overclock a desktop processor, you will disable the speedstep or clock switching feature because it consume power and energy. imagine that the processor needs to consistently monitor the cpu load and adjust it according to its needs. even a human will have a delay of a few seconds during the adjustment and calibration of the strength, the same logic applies to the processors too, plus if you will add the stress of the switching of the GPU, bugs and lags are generated, sometimes, it takes quite a while for the gpu to adjust its clock, from 133, to 200, then lags a little, adjust cpu, then gpu from 200 - 400, then suddenly you pressed the home button while playing, gpu reverts back to 133mhz which is far from the max, ew, where in my config, you start at 233, making everything seems to be so smooooooth, even if you enable AAx4 in the developer options you wouldnt notice the impact of it in performance, then you can disable hw overlay and enable gpu rendering too to maximize performance! if you want to save battery, then choose the 4 steppings on gpu, if you are a hardcore gamer on tablet, then use the 3 steppings on gpu, if you want more, replace the 400mhz config in the 3steppings with the 533 from the 4steppings.
STORAGE
I have Also increased the Speed if reading / writing in the nand flash by mounting mtd partitions with:
ro noatime nodiratime noauto_da_alloc data=writeback barrier=0 nobh
TIP {
instead of using an app to mount the android folder in external sd, you can use a terminal emulator, then this command to mount the folder from exterlan sd - internal, so you can play more games! (Note: please do create the /Android/data and /Android/obb on both internal and external SD
$ su mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd/Android /mnt/sdcard/Android
or
# mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd/Android /mnt/sdcard/Android
to remove the mount/bind
$su umount /mnt/sdcard/Android
or
# umount /mnt/sdcard/Android
The mount / bind is not permanent though, and you will need to enter the command every restart of the device.

yep it is a 4.2.2 based on 4.3
two thumbs way up for you kabayan! I'm no coder, but I love to read and tweak usually consolidating tweaks/scripts for my myPhone Vortex.
Good thing its a fairly popular phone in India, else I would have been stuck with the stock rom.
I'm curious if your rom can be applied to the recently released tablet from Starmobile : Engage 8 quad+
It sports the same processor as your Skyworth but with 1G of RAM only, 8G internal. Been looking around and I've read through
the list of roms you've tried (PIPO, M9, GLASS) and its a good thing I found your thread. I would have risked to root and flash
my tablet with any of those roms.
I'm currently reading on rooting my tablet using this method below, however I'm now hesitant to proceed. Would you have another method that
would work? or at least give me a little more confidence of root success. Thereafter, its CWM, then flashing time! woot
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/88850-rooting-rk3188-tablets/
btw, I've found the manufacturer of this tablet, guess Engage 8 is a rebrand of this unit.

Jét-Droid project
This mind-blowing development project has successfully ported Android to the non-android smartphones by Samsung S8000 and S8003
Dual boot (JetQi bootloader) preserves stock OS on the internal memory and boots into Android from the external micro SD card
Altough JetDroid project was done also for Samsung S8003, I will refer here only to S8000 as I couldn't test any of this with the S8003

HARDWARE INFO
SAMSUNG Jét S8000
"Smarter than smartphone"
With this enormous fanfare worldwide, (with the General Manager for the UK who tought that the Samsung Jet S8000 is better than the Apple iPhone 3GS) Samsung's flagship handset as of 2009, Samsung Jet S8000 was released with this not really modest marketing tag that can be found still nowadays on internet.
Yet, altough released back in 2009, the hardware of the S8000 is even as of beginning 2014 still better than many modern low-end android phones and throughout interesting target for the android porting development:

DEVELOPMENT INFO: about "JETDROID"
Target: porting Android OS to non-android devices Samsung Jét GT-S8000 (and GT-S8003)
"JETDROID": HOW DOES IT WORK?
Linux-based hardware of Samsung Jét is in general capable of booting into Android OS
Boot into Android OS is done here directly from external SD card, not from internal memory
JetDroid partition of the external (removable) SD card is formatted with Linux OS to ext2 or ext3
JetQi bootloader must be flashed on the S8000, boot into Android is possible with 2-buttons-combo
Original Samsung's firmware remains unmodified and the S8000 can also boot normally into stock OS
JETDROID DEVELOPMENT SOURCES:
JetDroid development: open source info is HERE

INSTALL CHECKLIST:
S8000 must be unlocked (both sim and network) otherwise hard-brick by flashing of the bootloader is possible
Samsung mobile usb driver must be installed on your pc and device recognized by the pc
Compatible original firmware (list in the guide) must be flashed with multiloader v.5.62 (attached)
After that, the JetQi dual-boot bootloader must be flashed with multiloader v.5.62
External SDHC card must be inserted in the phone (the faster SDHC card is, the better)
Card gets formatted by running Samsung OS with Ubuntu/Linux OS (running Ubuntu in the Virtual box or as "Test Ubuntu" (live CD) is also possible)
Unmount TFLASH volume (careful here, as MFLASH is internal partition of the stock fw of your phone!!!!)
Better use "Disk Utility" than "Gparted" to format the SDHC card and format first partition as "Master-Boot-Record" (ext2) for JetDroid ROM
JetDroid partition size for JetDroid can be between 1550-1950mb, create another partition (rest) as FAT
Mount both volumes/partitions (ext and FAT)
Extract in Ubuntu downloaded ROM and paste all files on the JetDroid partition
In "Terminal" (Ubuntu) set permissions: (sudo chmod -R 777 /media/yournameforjetdroidpartition(withoutspaces)
Now "Safely remove parent drive" (phone) and switch off the phone
Boot with 2-buttons-combo into Android OS (call&power buttons)

State-of-the-Art ROM for JETDROID
NOTE: my own reccomendation is to use only the very fastest SDHC cards you can get. Don't even consider anything beyond Class 10, otherwise you will face unstable and laggy performance. Sandisk extreme 80Mbps will work the best.

Out of my own experience, I can report here only of four ROMs that I was able to boot on my S8000. Regrettably, I have missed whole this exciting development project although I own this phone since 2009: I simply never browsed in internet, couldn't even imagine to boot into Android OS with it. If you ask me "is it worth it"? I will say: yes, definitely! One can use Samsung's TW2.0 for calls, SMS and mobile internet and Android with WLAN. It is matter of taste, I really enjoy to use Android with my Jét, especially my favorite ROM, the CM7.1 by Carlos_Manuel

JETDROID ROMs - functionality comparison:
Eclair 2.1 (JetPlatform0.2 and 0.3)
ADB: NO
WiFi: NO
Bluetooth: (send & receive) NO
Root: NO
Touchscreen: YES (fully working)
Google (Play Store / account sync etc): NO
Apps: YES, at least all of those you can install
Android version features: YES (languages, etc)
Functionality: unstable, laggy, freezes often, no tone (indication works)
Comment: despite just few working functions, developing of this ROM was simply the revolution in person and excellent base for further development. A key-feature (JetQi bootloader) was invented short before this stage. Reportedly, Wi-Fi was working on 0.3 platform, however I wasn't able to turn it on, or I have used wrong files on my SDHC card.
CyanogenMod 6 (Froyo 2.2)
Unfortunatelly, I wasn't able to boot this ROM. I've tried all tricks but the ROM I found and downloaded simply didn't boot. I am grateful if anybody gives me a hint where to download working one.
CyanogenMod 7.1 (Gingerbread 2.3.7)
ADB: YES (everything works: push/pull, installing apps, logcat, permissions changing etc)
WiFi: YES (fully working)
Bluetooth: YES (fully working: send & receive)
Root: YES (I've gained root access it with the SuperOneclick 2.3.3 root tool by Shortfuse, that uses ADB to install Superuser and busybox)
Touchscreen: YES fully working
Google (Play Store / account sync etc): YES (all working)
Apps: YES (all apps work here: no matter if root or no-root ones)
Android version features: YES (all working)
Functionality: altough slow compared to modern devices, with fastest SDHC cards it is stable and not too laggy, it makes definitely fun to use it. Not so with slower SDHC cards: unstable und laggy, CPU gets warmer then.
Comment: overall best ROM that I could try. If some day a Jét-driver for the SIM card get succesfully developed and some recent Linaro codes implemented in the kernel to boost its performance, this ROM would be just perfect for the S8000
CyanogenMod 9 (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4)
ADB: YES... (not fully, installing Apps via ADB works, read comment)
WiFi: NO (freezes)
Bluetooth: YES (I didn't try data transfer)
Root: ALMOST (read comment)
Touchscreen: ALMOST (cursor circle works, also click, but not "hold" click, therefore difficult scrolling)
Google (Play Store / account sync etc): NO (no Wi-Fi, no SIM card, so no connectivity)
Apps: YES
Android version features: YES (multi-languages, time zones, correct time displaying)
Functionality: early development stage, tough obviously great potential for the S8000 in ICS, hopefully it will be developed further
Comment: with this ROM as-is, ADB was working, but it wasn't able to install apps. After just a simple experiment of copy&paste of few files from the CM7.1 ROM (cat, getprop, sh) I was already able to install the Apps and nearly gained root access. Some basic files are missing in this ROM that is bit left alone in its early stage of development (ADB reports: rm not found so it can not delete the files). This ROM has potential to be great and should definitely be developed further, the device benefits of ICS codes, feels smoother and fast.... you can see that it boots into OS about 7sec faster that CM7.1, altough it has a slower SDHC card (about 20% slower). So ICS could likely be "The One" ROM for S8000, by gaining all functions that CM7.1 already has working. I didn't try to create logcat for Wi-Fi enabling, maybe it would give an answer what to do, it is anyway nearly working....

Nice!
But credits goes to Dopi and KB-JetDroid from jetdroid.org / Github.
My built ROM is optimized and includes some other stuff like librsjni file for live wallpapers, etc.
Hopefully someday Dopi and KB-JetDroid starts working on ICS, because it's fast on Jét.

OK, I will update the OP under "credits" altough you definitely deserve them as well: I couldn't even find anywhere GB roms by dopi and KB-JetDroid and some of which I found and downloaded didn't boot

Thks for opening this new thread Tetakpatak
I think i'm going to dust off my jet again.
My resistive touchscreen just died on me... cant play with my jet anymore...
Will remember this one as one of the best cellphones i had... shame that samy did.not used android on it.
Sent from Asus MemoPad FHD ME302C
Oh, pity..... I'm sorry mate
I also really like my S8000. It runs whole day long as radio (app Live365) on Carlos_Manuel's CM7 Android.

I'm trying to get one 2nd hand on Ebay... but since the touchscreen is resistive i'm kinda reluctant...
I was able to remove the "digitizer" from the phone (not glued to the screen) but replace part are way too expensive for me to just tinker with the Jét...
I really liked my jét even if was just to tinker with... One of the best buys i did.
Your phone didn't get broken because of flashing a JétDroid I hope?
The back part gets quite warm, reading a SDHC card costs CPU hard work , it seems.

No of course not.
The digitizer just stop working on most parts of the screen... and its the resistive layer fault because if i press it really hard sometimes it works... its was to expect after all resistive tech like this have a limited number of uses until it "breaks".
2nd hand models are quite cheap on eBay but i wonder if the digitizer is in good condition, since i only need that part to reassemble my good old jét...
Good luck

This phone is fantastic, I have one that is indistinguishable from brand new hardly used, it's a new replacement for a digitizer problem , I have never stopped hoping this push would come, there are millions of us who still have this phone, I hope what your doing is advertised widely. Pity samsung didn't release the source code they've missed a massive chance to increase their Street cred with the whole tech buying public and change public perception of their support. Might not be allowed, but I bet many would give a small donation for a fully completed modern rom. Best wishes from me and from many.

I totally agree. The hardware is really good and sturdy, so with the source code, dopi & co would probably easily port ICS similar way like in Badadroid project (with Samsung S8500 and S8530 with Bada OS, last model between S8000 and the revolutional Galaxy S1, i9000) instead of taking the hard road of hardware hacking.
Boot of Android OS from the external SD card slows the phone massively down, as the card slot is a bottleneck.

Ola. Mi Castellano es muy limitado. Lo espero que entiendas Inglés.
This project, as far as i know, was abandoned years ago :/ ... as i recall it does not the cell network chipset (i might be wrong here, i was a few years ago) but i think WiFi was ok and working.
The resistive part of my Jet unit died last year and i just trashed the unit so i cant really test it now. Hope the info helps.
Yes, exactly. Wifi works, not so the mobile network in Android. One needs to reboot to the stock UI to use mobile networks. I still have my S8000 and both android and stock UI are working.

Hi there, I know this is an old thread, but I'm planning on installing it to my hibernative Jét S8000, and was wondering myself if there is a way to extract Sim relative stuffs from Stock Samsung OS and implement it to JétDroid Rom? A question just like this cause, I saw that pretty all of the JétDroid Roms have a problem with Sim, so, is there any way of doing so??
Anyway, thanks for any revelant- or normal- answers,
See ya

Well, AMAIK, the development project described in this thread was the only succesful porting of the Android to the S8000, running it from the external memory card.
None of the ROM versions has ever made it to work with the SIM card if the S8000 was booted in Android.

Added it and swap/zram size too.
Maybe total ram will be correct for phones with fake ram size.

I have just downloaded version 4.6.4.
Thank you very much for the partition info on Nvidia Tegra 4 (Toshiba Excite Pro AT10LE-A-). Can you improve it with names (like on MTK) and a switch to enable the traditional view too, please?
The information below will help you doing that. There is a link to two partition screenshots of this tablet in our XDA thread.
[Q] How Root Toshiba Excite Pro AT10LE-A-108
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74227484&postcount=39
So, here is partitions info of this tablet (attached file in black)
And their names (attached file in black)
According to Nexus 7 development thread, these are common names on Tegra tablets:
APP -> system
CAC -> cache
LNX -> boot
MDA -> encrypted userdata
MSC -> misc
PER -> per device calibration
SOS -> recovery
UDA -> userdata
USP -> bootloader
We are trying to unlock the bootloader of Toshiba Excite Pro AT10LE-A (Nvidia Tegra 4 device). There is a protection by the sealime.ko security module blocking some partitions. To defeat sealime.ko we need all the information available on partitions.
Another request is the Project information that is missing on Nvidia Tegra 4 devices. It has valuable information on LCM, modem, etc. Can you include it, please?
Thanks and best regards!

Partition names are also supported. How it works:
1) Get partition block path from /proc/mounts by key system or cache
If finded it printed in log
2) Get mapping list like on your screenshots (some devices need root)
I see on toshiba tegra3 source, tegra4 didn't find.
LCM can't detect, in driver only set settings and init work.

great.
add a option to show some sensor info on notification/notification icon may be useful
