The Celestial Teapot RLS4d
DOWNLOAD: TCT_RLS4d.zip
A ROM for made for and tested on Huawei U8100 Expert Sweden but has been confirmed to work on most, if not all, U8100/U8110/U8120 phones. T-mobile pulse mini U8110 needs an update after install (se end of this post).
This ROM was previously known and developed under a different name in the Swedroid forums and the Modaco forums
(btw, can we PLEASE get at least a generic Huawei forum at xda-developers?)
RLS4d
- RLS4d = RLS4b/c + overclocking fix
RLS4c overclocking fix
- There's a mistake in the frequency tables in RLS4c and the RLS4b camera fix that seems to affect some phones. This fix (attached) can be used on both RLS4b and RLS4c and will fix both the camera issue (RLS4b) and the overclocking issue (RLS4c).
RLS4c
- RLS4b + camera fix
RLS4b camera fix (attached)
- The camera fix replaces the kernel with one that uses the same PLL for overclocking as RLS3 did (PLL2). Appearently PLL1 is used by the camera so it wasn't safe to change it.
RLS4b
- New (QVGA hacked) version of market... propably needs a wipe.
RLS4
- New overclocking code in kernel, default speed is 633.6MHz but can be tweaked with SetCPU.
- Updated (and hacked) Market
- Updated several apps to latest version
- Removed Facebook (download it from Market if you need it) to free up some space in /system
- Replaced brut maps with latest official Google Maps (5.0.0)
- Propably something more that I've forgotten...
It's propably a good idea to wipe, since Market and Maps has been replaced.
RLS3
- Changed bootlogo
- Changed bootanimation
- Replaced Google Maps with modified version (brut17) Seems you need to do a full wipe after upgrading because the replaced Maps apk
- Updated DocToGo to latest version
- Added Flash Lite support
- Most likely updated something more that I've forgot
- Fixed a tiny error in the installation script that could kill USB-mounting if you go from stock ROM to my ROM without wipe:ing data.
RLS2
- Made overclocking code in kernel to be aware of those phones that runs at 600MHz with stock ROM.
- Added support for U8120 optical d-pad in kernel
- Added tun.ko module for OpenVPN users
- Updated LauncherPro
- Updated Roadsync
Kernel
- 2.6.29 based on kernel source released by T-mobile UK for the pulse mini.
- Slightly modified to work on non T-mobile Android builds.
- Added overclocking based on HTC Hero code by phhusson. Default install is NOT overclocked. Add overclocked kernel with update.
- Added swap support.
- Added compcache 0.6.2 swap free notify patch.
- Added LZO support (needed by compcache)
- Added EXT3 support (for better A2SD)
- Removed unused stuff, like PS2 mouse drivers, non-used touchscreen drivers and NFS support. The result is a smaller, but more useful kernel than before.
Android
- Android 2.1 based on the official U8100 Expert Sweden ROM
- Rooted with latest Superuser Permissions
- Fully odexed (system apps will not use dalvik-cache = more space on /data)
- Removed Launcher2
- Removed MyWeather widget.
- Removed TouchPal and AndroidKeyboard
- Removed ServoSearch
- Hacked a way around the "cust" system making Wifi work on other phones than just expert/se phones.
- Moved autorun.iso to /system freeing up 25Mb for apps on /data
- Added Darktremor A2SD 2.7.5.2 + swappiness bug fix.
- Compiled and added compcache kernel module + script to enable/disable compcache.
- No JIT by default but can be added with update.
- Hacked Vending.apk (Market) version 2006 that will greatly increase the number of available apps by faking HVGA (320x480).
- Fakes autofocus and more for more apps in the market
- Updated to latest Google Maps
- Updated to latest Google StreetView
- Added Launcher Pro
- Added Home Switcher
- Added the last flip-clock versionen of Weather widgets (yr.no).
- Added Googles News & Weather app/widget.
- Added HTC_IME & an AndroidKeyboard with Voice input support (also adds VoiceSearch).
- Added busybox with symlinks
- Added nano (texteditor)
- Added bash
- Replaced bootanimationen with a Nexus animation I resized for QVGA for another project.
- Replaced RoadSync with the offical upgrade you are allowed to download.
- Adjusted wallpapers in the original launcher to correct sizes and ascpect ratio for a QVGA device. May make them look a bit weird in the original launcher.

UPDATE 2010-10-10: New zip file attached that also fixes the GPS. (TCT_tmo_u8110_update_2.zip)
If you can't get a phone network connection after installing, install the attached TCT_tmo_u8110_update.zip. That update replaced the ril libs with libs that are compatible with your phone.
JIT
Adding JIT gives a performance boost but I choosed to make it an optional update as it can cause problems with some apps. So far we know some apps that uses the google maps framework crashes if JIT is eanbled. Use the attached TCT_JIT_update.zip to enable JIT. There is also an update to go back to non-JIT if you change your mind later.
Installation
1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. (optional) Wipe data+cache before rebooting. It may or may not work OK to not wipe data but it's propably best to wipe.
Overclocking
EDIT 2010-12-17: Removed all overclocking addons as they are now(with RLS4) obsolete
EDIT 2010-11-09: Updated all overclocking files with the new bootlogo.
EDIT 2010-10-11: Updated all overclocking files with the optical d-pad fix för U8120 phones.
EDIT 2010-10-27: Updated all overclocking files with support for phones that run 600MHz with their stock ROMs
Overclocking code has been rewritten in RLS4. The new kernel defaults to 633.6MHz which I believe should work on all phone. Let me know if it does not.
Use the app SetCPU if you want to overclock above the default 633.6MHz(default in RLS4) overclock.
SetCPU can be bought on Market or downloaded from XDA developers
Be careful with the "Set on boot" checkbox untill you know for sure if a speed is stable our not. Most phones will propably find a stable frequency in the 672-710.4MHz area but some can go higher. The highest allowed in the kernel is 748.8MHz.
Compcache
If you are using are allready using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...
A2SD
(Only tested with AmonRA recovery image)
1. Backup your MicroSD card (IMPORTANT!)
2. Boot into recovery mode (see Installation instructions)
3. Choose to partition your SD card.
I recommend 32Mb for Swap and unless you plan to also move the dalvik-cache to the MicroSD card anything more than 512Mb for applications will be pointless as you will still be limited by the internal space for the dalvik-cache. You can of course use more space for swap if you have a large MicroSD card but I don't think it will make much difference but sure 64Mb won't hurt and on a 8Gb card you can afford it.
4. (optional) Convert EXT2 partition to EXT3 (EXT3 is an improved filesystem compared to EXT2).
5. Reboot the phone.
A2SD will now automaticly move your apps to the SD-card partition and enable your swap partition.
To change how a2sd works see this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021609&postcount=5
(a2sd jit is NOT supported in my ROM as I've choosed to provide JIT as an update instead)
NOTE: If you intend to use A2SD it's propably a good idea to enable it early. Some apps (at least my banking app) doesn't like being moved and have to be uninstalled and reinstalled if you move it from internal to SD or the other way around.
NOTE2: Don't EVER remove your SD-card while the phone is turned on if you use A2SD and/or swap.
NOTE3: Having your apps on the slower (compared to NAND) SD-card propably have a performance hit but I can't say I've noticed it when testing it. However I believe that if you also move the dalvik-cache the performance hit may be noticable.
Reserved for the future...
Hi there,
I saw you're post about the overclocking issue I have with the Vodafone 845 (huawei 8120) thanks for that.
So this rom should also be compatible with the 8120 ?
It seems you have added a lot of good stuff and I am going to try you're rom really soon.
I am also wondering if the overclock will work or do I still need to flash a 'stock rom' first?
Thanks for the hard work !

I believe it should. The kernel config from a stock U8120 that I recieved when doing the overclocking was identical to the one from a stock U8100 so I believe the phones uses the same hardware.

Yes, if you did the 600MHz hack your phone will use the wrong frequency array and I haven't adjusted that array. Also I am not sure what other effects it can have by using the wrong frequency array and I do not even now why the hack makes it use the wrong array. Likely some firmware has changed when you flashed the wrong UPDATA.APP and it's propably a good idea to get back to the one that was intended for your phone.
Thanks for the hard work !
Edit : Maybe it is me beeing not so smart again,but I don't really understand which .zip file gives exactly what speed in post #3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
652800 = 652.8MHz and so on... it's the speed i KHz as it is the format used in the frequancy arrays. Having digged into the acpuclock.c quite a few times now I took it for granted that everyone could see the connection but I guess I could make it more clear. Thanks for pointing it out.
I did a full wipe and partition sd with 32mb swap,512mb ext2,ext2 to ext3.
Flashed you're rom and everything seems to work great
You were right about the cpu reading though (still @ 600 Mhz) ..now installing 'stock rom' and hope the readings return to normal again.
Thanks again !
Edit : Tried to flash 'stock rom' but the update failed hlaf way,anyway my cpu readings were back to normal after flashing back you're rom (528 Mhz that is) after that flashed you're 691 Mhz zipfile and... It works !!!
Thanks a lot for the explanations ! really helpfull (I understand things a bit better now)
Now I have to do some testing if 691 Mhz is stable for this phone.
Do you have any recommendations (apps) for stress-testing ? (is setcpu stress test any good?)
I will report back with my findings.
Thanks once again

Not sure about stress testing, haven't done much of it myself really. But if 691.2MHz is stable then you may want to try 710.4. If you are familiar with fastbooting you can extract the boot.img and do a fastboot with a different boot.img without flashing it.
I suppose Neocore could be a good stress test on our phones since they lack hardware 3D and have to do all the 3D rendering in software.

Let me know how it goes, it should work fine just like old version unless the U8110 needs one of the touchscreen drivers I disabled in the kernel, but I really doubt it.
works fine for now .. gonna do stress test soon.

I did some testing and the 691.2 Mhz seems stable on my phone (VF845 - 8120) and since other available roms here are using you're 691.2 Mhz 'mod' we can safely say it is stable for this phone I think.
I also tried the 710.4 zip-file,but this resulted in a lockup in the boot-animation
A bit to much I think.
Anyway 163 Mhz more as stock speeds is still pretty amazing
btw. I was wondering if it is possible to uninstall some apps that come with you're rom ? I can't find them in the 'uninstaller'
Thanks
EDIT : Talking about overclocking got me thinking..Do you think it would be possible to undervolt in some kind of way to gain more battery-time (on lower cpu-speeds) ?
Hi,
Flash it to my U8100 but unfortunately it stuck on the booting animation.
Even when I flash the 633.6MHz update.
The phone works fine with your previous ROM (rls6_JIT I found at Modaco) and 633.6 MHz update.
Need your help to make A2SD works.
Thanks.
HI,
Works well on my t-mobile pulse mini,but gps not working.
runs fast at 652 speed ,please can you fix gps.

Overclocking
Here are a bunch of different updates with different overclocking speeds.
As far as I know most phones works fine with 652.8MHz. My phone works pretty good ad 691.2MHz but I had at least one random reboot so I went down to 672MHz. Some phones may even be stable at 710.4MHz but mine isn't.
If anyone needs a lower speed or even wants to try a higher one, let me know and I'll compile and update for you.
I recommend the app SetCPU if you want to do some tweaking like setting up different speed profiles.
SetCPU can be bought on Market or download from XDA developers
Explanation about the filenames.The numbers are the speeds in kHz. So 672000 means 672MHz and so on...

* RK2918 FAQ
- boot.img in SDK2.0 based ROM
in (some of) SDK2.0 based ROMs, new format is used for boot.img(and recovery.img). it's almost same as standard android boot.img format. it has both kernel and ramdisk.
in general, unpackbootimg/mkbootimg can be used to unpack/repack for this format. but it doesn't work with boot.img for RK2918 tablets. Rockchip uses non-standard way to generate hash value which is stored in header of boot.img. if you flashed repacked boot.img, your tablet will go into recovery mode. it means we can't make customized boot.img(ramdisk).
but there is workaround. we can convert SDK2.0 boot.img into pre-SDK2.0 format.
Code:
$ unpackbootimg -i boot.img
$ rkcrc -k boot.img-zImage kernel.img
$ rkcrc -k boot.img-ramdisk.gz ramdisk.img
then flash kernel.img into kernel partition, and ramdisk.img into boot partition.

Craig CMP738a boots up and results are identical to your findings.
initial bootup.
the calibration utility hung for a few seconds and asked if it should be killed. waiting allowed the procedure to complete.
started the music app. started playing a song. no audio came from the speakers but audio counter counted up. Headphones did not have sound either.
Tried connecting to wireless, says obtaining IP address... doesnt seem to want to connect to WPA2 network of mine. but it did connect fine to my WEP network.
Trying to view the gallery program for photos is very laggy.
A few videos would play in the video program but they were all like slideshows. A few would not play at all. no audio from the videos obviously.
Phone app and Camera (crashes) app are useless on this device I have.
USB Keyboard works in the usb host port.
FAT32 Flash drive doesnt seem to mount automatic.
SDCARD doesnt seem to be recognized. (nothing in /dev?)
Very cool so far tho.
Edit: since I am using the stock kernel for this device I would think I could get the hardware working... audio... video??? or maybe I need the rockchip support libraries...
fun_ is working on audio support, but video support seems to be hard to add, any help is welcome
Hi,
I have already adapted CM7 to RK2808 on Rocktab resistive screen.
Sound works and video MP4.
If these elements can help you:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/14838-experimentale-cyanogen-cm7-080211/
I noticed a lot of files missing .so in the lib in your system.img.
For the sensors you can try to take those CM7 for HTC G1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448
And rename for RK2818.
This had worked on CM6 on APAD after disabling the rotation parameters in Menu Cyanogen.

thank you for your report! I added CMP738A to "tested" list.
in general, it should work on most RK2818 tablets. I tested ~20 eclair/froyo firmware(boot/system.img) for other tablets on my mivvy A2, and they worked well. it should be same for my CM7.

Root is fine here, Titanium back runs fine, Root Checker confirms it's rooted.
Which application is having problem with root ?
It seams as I am lame user. I can confirm now it is rooted. But it was not before - titanium backup had a problem and root checker also showed that it is not rooted. I have no idea what was wrong' maybe some restart solved it without my attendance

Did anyone with with the SD card problem give it a try? Does it solve this issue as well?
another link if possible?
Just installed 1.07 on my U30GT-H (guess it is a H, got it from Pandawill,no label, H FW boots fine).
Unfortunately the SDCARD problem with my 32GB Samsung Class10 micro sd-card is still not fixed. This card does not even work with NTFS format.
Has some1 get Gameloft games like asphalt 7/ the amazing spider-man working on u30gt-h rooted? I thried the buid.prop modification but no luck....
thank you OP
Thanks for clean & rooted ROM.
No SD problems for me, and no asphalt 7 either (yes, I bought it.)

Hi,
maybe your problem is related to the WIFI channel the router is using?
Is the router visible in wifi settings? If not, you can try to change the wifi channel.

Installation guide
To flash this rom you need a custom recovery as CWM or TWRP. You can download TWRP for all Iocean from here.
Otherwise if you prefer CWM, download this CWMrecovery.img for Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo or this one for Iocean x7 Plus/Elite and flash it through MobileUncleTools app.
I strongly recommend you to take a Nandroid Backup before flashing this (or any other) rom. I suggest you to backup your IMEI too. The easiest and safest way to do this is simply writing both IMEI on a piece of paper (you can find them in Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI information).
To install it, follow these simple steps:
Download zip file of the rom (see Download section) and put it in your sdcard - PUT IT IN EXTERNAL SD IF YOU WANT TO REPARTITION
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data (factory reset if you're using CWM), wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (advanced section in CWM) - DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
Install rom zip from sdcard/external sdcard and follow Aroma installer wizard
Aroma installer will give you the possibility to repartition internal sdcard (more available space for apps).
If you choose "Do nothing" option, go to point #6 of this guide
If you choose "Repartition" follow instructions in the spoiler below:
ATTENTION: REPARTITIONING WILL FORMAT INTERNAL SDCARD
Click on "Repartition" and choose desired /data partition size (rom stock value is 1.5GB for any iocean model)
Installation process WILL NOT INSTALL ROM (only resize /data)
Reboot into your ORIGINAL ROM, you should get an error message as the one below (if you don't get this message, just skip this point):
Click on "Reset phone" (this will reboot into recovery) and wait until it automatically reboot into your original rom again
You now need to reboot into recovery to install GammaRom v1.2 (you only repartitioned your original rom so far). You can do this in 3 different ways (choose only one):
Quick way ---> Switch your phone off, connect it to your pc, push power button + volume up button at the same time until you enter recovery
Geek way ---> You can skip Google account login (if asked to login) tapping on upper left corner of the screen then upper right corner, botton right corner and finally botton left corner. Once skipped google signing in, reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Dummy way ---> Login with your Google account (if asked to login) and reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Congratulation, you successfully repartitioned your phone. :highfive: You can now follow this guide from point 3 onwards (wipe data, cache, dalvik and install rom zip) this time choosing "Do nothing" instead of "Repartition".
Follow Aroma instructions and reboot once finished
Be patient, first boot may take longer than usual
Read post #2 to get the best from this rom (do not skip this)
Enjoy

Configuration Guide
Configuration Guide
In order to get the best experience from this rom, read guide below:
AVOID CRAP IMPORTANT!!
Absolutely DO NOT install crappy apps on this rom: NO RAM Booster apps, NO task killers, NO Clean Master, no apps that just consume ram, increase wakelocks and produce lags.
Any kind of task killer will heavily increase lags on this rom whose background apps are already handled by its optimizations scripts. This kinda app will only create conflicts.
Remember to not install AdAway (or similar) neither because this rom has an AdBlock already included. If possible avoid Antivirus too, IMO they're not really necessary on Android.
Resolution Changer
What is it?
This is a series of scripts written by me which will let you change iocean x7 resolution from 1080x1920 to any other value lower than stock. At the same time it gives you the possibility to change dpi according to your preferences.
Why should you use this?
Reducing resolution will boost your performances from different point of views: first of all smoother scrolling, faster interface, lower ram usage and probably even a better battery life (I still need to check this one).
Anyways these scripts are not meant to permanently reduce your resolution, but only in case of need: you can switch to lower resolution when you need to increase performances (for example for gaming) and switch back to stock 1080p resolution as performances boost is no longer needed.
Everything is made completely automatic through these scripts, you just need to launch them and follow instructions.
I know that this could be done through an app, but first of all that app is for pay in my country (that's why I created this), secondly an app consumes ram, this script does not! :laugh:
Is there any drawback?
Yes, lowering resolution will temporarily make your menu, home and back button unavailable. They will stop working until you switch back to 1080p resolution: it's not possible to make them work at lower resolutions, that's why this script automatically enables software keys.
Moreover some apps may not be shown correctly depending on resolution used; here a few examples:
-Xperia Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 720p resoution (720x1280)
-Apex Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 600p resoution (600x1066)
-Swiftkey keyboard doesn't show properly at lower resolution (use GammaRom stock keyboard)
- [...]
You simply need to change launcher/keyboard if the one you're using is not completely compatible with requested resolution.
How can you change resolution?
I made it simple for you, just read hidden instructions below!
First of all launch Android Terminal Emulator app and enter one of these commands (first time you launch this script, it'll ask for root privilages):
Code:
resolution width height dpi
Sets resolution to (width)x(height) and dpi to (dpi). For example you can type in terminal emulator the following:
Code:
resolution 720 1280 320
entering this will set resolution to 720x1280 and dpi to 320dpi that are typical values for 720p screens (Samsung Galaxy S3, ...)
Code:
resolution 1080 1920 480
entering this will set resolution to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi that are typical values for 1080p screens (Iocean x7 stock values, ...)
With this command (resolution width height dpi) You can set resolution to any value you want. Of course be reasonable: you have a 16:9 screen so (height)/(width) should always be around 16:9. You can start from 1080p stock values (1080 1920 480) and divide these three number by the same quantity. For example, dividing by 1.2, another good working command would be:
Code:
resolution 900 1600 400
which will set resolution to 900x1600 and dpi to 400dpi. Everything clear? Hope it is! You can experiment as many resolution as you wish and find out which one is the best for your usage.
In addition to "resolution width height dpi" command, I prepared other 5 easy to use scripts that you can launch simply typing:
Code:
1080p
it's the same as "resolution 1080 1920 480" (reverts back to stock Iocean values)
Code:
900p
it's the same as "resolution 900 1600 400"
Code:
720p
it's the same as "resolution 720 1280 320"
Code:
600p
it's the same as "resolution 600 1066 260"
Code:
500p
it's the same as "resolution 500 890 220"
These 5 scripts (1080p, 900p, 720p, 600p, 500p) can be used with "f" option (where "f" stands for "fast"). Let's make an example:
Code:
1080p f
typing "1080p f" in terminal emulator resolution will be quickly set to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi without any waste of time. Resolution script has a lot of checks that ensures that you know what you're doing and that explains in details what the script is doing. Typing in android terminal "resolution 1080 1920 480" or "1080p" or "1080p f" will revert back to stock resolution in all three cases, but the last one (1080p f) will do it more quickly.
The same for "900p f", "720p f", "600p f", "500p f": they switch to 900p, 720p, 600p and 500p resolution more quickly than without typing "f".
Here's a screen just to give you an idea on how it looks like:
How can you revert back to stock Iocean resolution?
Simply launch Android Terminal emulator and type:
Code:
1080p
or
Code:
1080p f
In case of issues of any kind that make this procedure unavailable, flash following zip in recovery (only in case of emergency, otherwise use procedure described above):
Emergency_restore_to_stock_resolution.zip
AdBlock
GammaRom has an embedded AdBlocking service which will prevent most part of adverts/malicious websites from showing. Sometimes its action may be unwanted (it may block safe websites that you intentionally want to visit). That's why I created this simple script that gives you the possibility to switch between 3 different adblocking according to your needs.
Launch Android Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
adblock
Folllow instructions and choose your preferred AdBlocking:
No adblocking (Iocean x7 stock rom default)
AdAway adblocking (Light and fast adblocking - Gamma v1.2 default)
Mother of All AD-BLOCKING by BSDgeek_Jake (slightly higher ram usage, but very aggressive and complete adblocking: blocks almost any Ads - Gamma v1.0 default)
Sometimes AdAway and Mother of All Adblocking may block even safe websites from showing; if this happen to you, launch terminal emulator and disable all adblocking (option 1) and enable them again when you want them back (option 2 or 3).
Battery Life
Here you can find 3 advices that will greatly improve your phone Battery Life:
Die Hard Battery Calibrator (by zeppelinrox)
I included in this rom Die Hard Battery Calibrator script developed by zeppelinrox. Follow instructions below to take the max out of your battery:
Charge your phone till 100%
Keep phone plugged in, launch terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
BatteryCalibrator
Follow instructions (wait until phone voltages overcomes 4200mV, then type "A" which will reboot your phone after 20minutes (leave it plugged in still) )
Once rebooted, you can type BatteryCalibrator in terminal emulator again and check voltage and battery percentage (just to check, this step is not really fundamental)
Unplug your phone (shown voltage will go down a bit) and use it the whole day until it turns off (battery percentage shown may not be real since you just deleted batterystats)
Recharge till 100%
Use your phone!
Google Location service
Disabling this will improve your battery life a lot; especially if you don't need it (if you need it, try to keep it disabled when not necessary).
Launch Settings > Location Access > Disable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"
Monitor Wakelocks
I included Wakelock Detector app developed by ahikmat in this rom. This app lets you check which app or service is draining your battery generating wakelocks (high number of wakelocks = high battery drain).
Launch Wakelock Detector app > go into settings > enable advanced mode > Check whether any suspicious/unwanted app is generating wakelocks.
You can find a detailed guide on how to use this app in original thread linked above.
GravityBox
GravityBox is an Xposed module which uses Xposed framework to apply real time modifications to your system. This gives you the possibility to customize your android device according to your needs.
Once you've installed this rom, launch GravityBox app (or go to Settings>GravityBox if you prefer) and mod your Iocean as you wish: most part of modifications will be applied immediately, part of them may require reboot to become effective.
Viper4Android
This mod gives you the possibility to enhance audio quality and volume in a quite surprisingly way if configured properly.
Once installed this rom, launch Viper4Android, give it root access and click on "Yes" at V4A Driver Update request. Choose desired installation type (keep in mind that this will affect battery life) and reboot. Once rebooted you're now ready to customize your phone's audio response according to your tastes: launch Viper4Android and enable Viper4Android features as you wish in the three fields Headset/Phone Speaker/Bluetooth Device.
In order to further edit the audio, it's possible to download (free or paid) some Impulse Response Samples (IRS); see the thread below for a detailed guide and further details about it:
[V4A][IRS] Impulse Response Sample Index Thread
If you're lazy and don't wanna read that guide, just download the following IRS starter pack, unzip it and put all *.irs files in the path /sdcard/ViPER4Android/kernel (this path will be automatically created by V4A app once you install drivers). All these *.irs files will become selectable in Convolver field inside V4A app.
IRS Starter Pack.zip
Xposed Framework
Xposed Framework app has a "Download" section where you can upgrade existing xposed modules (eg: GravityBox) everytime their developer releases a new version or even download new modules from the list to add new features. Be careful though: some of them are incompatible with each other and other are only device specific (Samsung, HTC, ...) and won't work on your phone. Moreover too many xposed modules may slow down system according to my personal experience.
GravityBox already covers most part of other modules features, but another good module is "App Settings" which, for example, will give you the possibility to set different DPI for each app.
GPS
GPS connection had a perceivable improvement with latest kernel and modules and I added some optimizations that will help too. To make it work properly you'll need to modify the first lines of gps.conf in /system/etc path with specific servers for your country.
Inside gps.conf you'll find these servers that work good for Italy:
Code:
# Italy ===============================
NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
If you live in Europe, just edit the first with the one for your country, otherwise you'll need to edit both. Leave all the rest of gps.conf file exactly as it is, just edit these lines. You can find a list of servers for any country here.
For example if you live in Slovakia (Europe) first lines of build.prop would become something like this:
Code:
# Slovakia ============================
NTP_SERVER=sk.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
In order to speed up gps fix, open Settings>Location Access and enable EPO (download epo data too), A-GPS, GPS and launch Location Engineering menu. Once in Location Engineering Mode, go to GPS tab and enable GPS to scan satellites (need to be outside to find any). After a few minutes it should start fixing satellites (first ever fix will take longer) and you should be finally able to use Iocean x7 GPS.
Another advice I can give you is to use Copilot as navigation app!
If it still doesn't work the only way is to modify your antenna (as I did).
Hardware Keys Backlight
This will work only on Iocean x7 Youth clocked @1.2GHz (no effects on any other Iocean x7).
You can turn on/off hardware keys backlight typing:
Code:
lights on
turns lights on
Code:
lights off
turns lights off
Ringtone
You probably still don't understand why I'm pointing this out...well...you'll get it once you receive your first incoming call...I love this ringtone, but probably many of you won't! If you're among them, go into Settings>Audio profiles>General and change ringtone. I recommend you to keep it
That's it guys, flash responsibly! :good:
Looks fast, but no camera and galery ? In settings is tab - viper4android, when I tap on it, I see Unfortunatlely, Settings has stopped. Thank you for your best work.
I have iocean x7 youth

Yes, you should have both stock camera and lenovo camera, the same for Gallery. If Settings>Viper4Android crashes it means there's no Viper4Android installed. Try to check in app drawer whether you see it or not. I just tried to flash again with TWRP the whole rom on my Iocean Youth and got no issues.
It seems like your installation process had some issues, which recovery have you used? Anyways try to flash back formatting cache, dalvik, data and system, possibly with a different recevoery (I tested it on my TWRP linked in post #1) and let me know :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I tried to flash with CWM recovery linked in post#1 and had no issues even in that case
EDIT2: I flashed starting from different situations (stock youth 0703, stock elite 0722, custom, ...) with different recoveries, but couldn't reproduce your issues on my youth. As I said, try to flash back and don't forget full wipe.
In antutu I have score 10 000 and you ?
Samba haven't tried you ROM yet but just downloaded this ROM from here http://www.needrom.com/mobile/iocean-x7-youth-2/ , its a really nice ROM and finally got CSR racing and empirior warriors 2 working without lags.
And guess my antutu score ? 12677 !!
Humble request Samba , any chance you can have a look at this ROM and make and improvement on it ?
I have got and Iocean Youth also and so far that's the best ROM I have found in terms of stability , gaming and benchmark .

Did you manage to reinstall the rom without issues?
Anyways 10000 is not normal, do you have any CPU governor installed? It seems like you're not running at maximum clock.
My antutu on GammaRom is 12899 as you can see in the pic:
Antutu is definitely not important, but check that's everything's fine (CPU clock, background apps,...).

Yeah I've that rom on my SD card, I quickly tried it a few weeks ago. Benchmarks aren't very significant, but as you can see above I got an higher score. That doesn't mean much, if I repeat that test in different situations results will change.
I'll focus on GammaRom for the next period because I prefer to concentrate my efforts on only one work rather than releasing many roms almost equal to each other. For the future I'd rather start from a clean stock rom, and I like Iocean's firmware which is really clean and close to Vanilla android. I tried many xperia roms, but don't really liked them so far. Anyways I still couldn't download Xperia C stock rom to give it a try. We'll see!

You can see a few screenshots in post #1. I took xperia launcher and I slightly modded it, but you can change it if you don't like it (I can give you stock launcher if you prefer). For what concerns icons they are Iocean's stock ones except from some of them which I replaced with higher definition ones taken from thl firmware (email, sms,...).

Are those languages included in stock rom? I didn't touch anything language related (just fixed SMS app FC for Netherlands).
If those apps crash it means they're not installed. Flash again the whole rom with full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system) and check if you have Viper4android and GravityBox installed. If you don't have them it means the rom wasn't installed properly (need to riflash).
Not sure why some of you is not getting /data partition properly installed, I'll investigate further, but I need to know which recovery you are using. I've tested them on both recoveries linked in post #1 with no issues. Which one did you use?

No, no fix of any kind needed so far! It's based on Iocean Elite's stock so it mounts partitions exactly as stock

Great Rom so far , nice and smooth i like the fact you can also choose ring tones from mp3 nice work :thumbup: , btw what's the terminal emulator for ?

hmm I think it would be great if this rom had aroma installer so we can choose to install other apps etc, even though we can use a root uninstaller. just a suggestion though, this rom already works perfectly. Oh and forgot to mention earlier, I get much better wifi signal with this rom. From my room I used to get 3/5 now I get 4-5/5!
