developing anyone who wants to help has ideas lets post them here - Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers

i have a machine with linux on it and a remote desktop client called teamviewer for those who would want to help get one of these roms ported so to speak. further more anyone have ideas or know how to fix other issues as well as kernels. then post here let us know although my post its not just for me. i will also keep posting my progress here from now on. if anyone wants to learn what i learned i have a discord server where we can voice at. its hard to actually type and explain and the other machine can show as i talk about what ever. so feel free to post what ever as well if u just want me to call it quits let me know down bellow. i figure we get enough people who know stuff bout each of the process we might get farther then just me. then im gonna try to develop my own rom that will be awhile xd. i learned what i know in like a month so im no expert but i love learning new stuff as well as knowing i accomplished something good.heres what i got so far auto brightness doesnt work double tap does not work although its in the settings. wifi is still broke im getting closer to get wifi but maybe some new eyes can help with the kernel configs or symlink or well you get the picture.https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767145938heres how to flash goto twrp goto wipe do the delete data option that has you type yes. then just restore backup normal way in twrp. sorry first one was a old broke version posted new link. also install install one of these when ur finish restore http://opengapps.org/if this was helpful please hit the ty button. if u feel the need to donate thats there as well enjoy and maybe we can get rr marsh mellow to at least be our temp os. after you load it up at least once i recommend going back to twrp and doing the factory restore option
before u proceed to other stuff

I am going to give this a spin and see how it does to give you feedback and to "field test it". i know i said that i was going to try to port a rom myself but im willing to admit that i got in over my head and just simply dont have the time to learn how to do so. im really excited to try what you have accomplished so far however. will let you know how it goes!. thanks again.

Yeah the Rom was pretty good, very fast, compared to the stock rom.

yeah it wont be a DD without wifi but im light on using data anyhow for the time being. what version of crdroid are you making? im not personally interested in any particular version of android i just cant wait any longer to rid myself of EMUI as a whole beyond what im already able to. i dont know if either of you had any issues or maybe it was just me, but copying RR to my ext-sd twrp folder it would just stop copying and i tried it both from within twrp and android. i had to copy it directly to the root of the ext-sd. anyway im installing now just wanted to let you know what was up so far over here.
Edit: I'm sure this wont apply to those who cant figure it out as you shouldnt mess with it anyway if you couldnt but, you have to remove the "_image" from the end of the system backup file in order for twrp to see that partition and be able to restore it.

is android n im stuck atm on compiling but i might be fixing wifi on the rom ur using hope it works. also i this all was way over my head didnt think id make it this farxd

Hey its Jarrett didn't wanna login. RR works amazing and is exactly what I'm looking for from a ROM. Auto brightness works just fine for me, I came directly from b130 BTW. WiFi just sits there trying to turn on but it never does so I can confirm that. Also double tap to lock works for me. Is there anything that doesn't work for you that you'd like me to try and confirm coming from b130 seems to fix the issues you were having other than WiFi not working.

see if nfc is there and works if so then yea only thing left is wifi and what ever minor bugs after that. so does it run much better than stock? also anyone have any luck or have ideas to fix the wifi?

I do not have a way yo test NFC but yes this ROM is butter smooth and leaves much more room available while also allowing you to use an SD card as expanded system storage. I have yet to find any bugs or settings that do not work as intended other than WiFi and double tap to wake but only WiFi is important to me.

Im near certain that this phone hardware wise does not support otg. But if we get WiFi I'll be sure to hit that donate button. Thank you for what we have so far. Its running great and everything I wanted is available. Even audio over USB works just fine.

Speakerphone is a little quite but tolerable when playing a YouTube video. I suppose it could go up a little bit. Until I run into other situations that's all I have for you right now.

yea i think i can fix speaker easy the wifi i have to compile a complete kernel with drivers etc designed for it

I found another bug, it may be kernal related. When watching videos via the YouTube app that video may freeze while Tue audio continues playing. This has been occurring since installed.

Internet Problem

for some reason, the 2 times ive flashed custom roms on my phone modaco 1.1 and 1.2 the internet stops working. everything else works perfectly find and the evdo sign shows up, but the internet just does not work. any work around?
and why is it that everytime i try and restore from recovery on my phone, it says
error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh
restore' via adb!
im guessing i have to run it via my computer and if i do what do i type in??

This thread may help but I haven't read through it all. Don't know if the answer is there or not.

thanks ill try that and for some reason restore never ever works on my damn phone and the backups are on my phone pretty weird but thanks again
I am running the new Fresh 1.0, he released it last night or this morning. It is GLORIOUS! I LOVE IT. Except, I think the lock screen is a little ugly, I can deal with it though. There are ways to change the lock screen which I may do later today.
i want to use clear as a bell but that doest work yet on 1.0 correct?
post back a link to it and I will load it up and see if it works. Saves you the effort, and i was planning on trying other stuff anyways. Who knows I may like it.

ok just downloaded fresh 0.7 everything works again except internet calls sms everything but no internet???
Just looking back through previous threads of yours. You have run RUU and everything havn't you?
I am at a loss if you have done the RUU and still get no data.
idk what the hell is the problem i ran the ruu back to stock internet is fine i rooted internet still fine flash recovery internet fine install rom internet dead lol
Yeah, thats really odd. Do you have any Root apps installed? Other than maybe WiFi Tether. DroidWall? App manager? anything that could be killing or blocking 3G?
i had droid wall just uninstalled and rebooted i also have overclock widget does that effect it? shouldnt right?
Droid Wall definetly woudl break internet. Maybe it left some stuff behind on the uninstall? A setting or something? Apps2SD is on, it may still have stuff on the SD card. You could try to format it again since you cant actually see that partition...long shot though.
Does the Over Clock widget work? See a difference?
it was droid wall you my friend are the ****! (in a good way of course) lol
might sound stupid but yea overclock does feel like it really work lol. going thru the menu seems so much faster! and when your not using the phone you dial it all the way down, and it really saves the batter
Android 200456, Karl +1 SCORE!
Glad you got it fixed.
people at work are going to hate me lol, i had a customer come in and he was like =O ill pay you lol.i might have to do a side business lol
tethering doesnt work for me on 0.7 =/ it says start tethering stays there then it says su request but it doesnt let me hit always allow because the options dont even show up =/
You should have a Super USer Permisions app in the app drawer. See if the permisions for the app are in there. If they are, long press and delete them. If not, you may have to get the APK for the latest build and push it. Make sure that you Allow all, its the only way mine works at least, otherwise i dont get access.
sorry the reply took so long I didnt get an email that you posted back.

Filpside_CM7预览版.zip
This is the download link.you will like it.
ok... your download link works... but it only gets thru about 30% before it drops off
so i can't test it if i can't get it downloaded
it is just a test rom and i testing it for other people in China.you will download it soon when i fixed the sensors and the MP3 player,also the camera.
Nice work! I think I'm going to give up on being a ROM dev haha... nothing wants to work for me
Maybe I'll play around with ICS on it to keep me busy
I dropped in my sensors.sage.so into your ROM and the sensors worked great (I think.. rotation worked)
I used the libsensors that came in the jordan (Defy) device tree if that helps.. (had to change LOCAL_MODULE from sensors.jordan to sensors.sage in Android.mk for it to build)
If you're OK with it, I can upload it to a more world-friendly site (probably MediaFire )
Hi!
Thanks WinSuk for take time to test and help, please dont give up at all with the testing process, so, not many of us may have enough knowledge to really help with this, and also many of us, we are sure and gratefull, that Laidaxin is kind doing it best according with the time that he kind may offer to develop, for all people that use the FlipSide, the CM7 version that for sure it the BIGGEST new that may happen to the FlipSide Forum in long long time...
So, Thanks to Laidaxin, WinSuk, ringfool and any other one that may join to help to make the first ROM for FlipSide a success and tested.
Best Regards to all and please keep the good work!

Of couse!
We should built it together for filpside,one man can not do it well for this job.the other man that i want to say thanks is the wanggjghost,he help me to do it well.
if you upload you file,i will soon to fixed it .
So... i finally got the 2nd init installer to work...
and i got cm7 installed...
my findings are... the accelerometer does not work... meaning the screen doesn't change orientation when you turn the phone...
and
the telephone dials out... or rings when called... however... when it attempts to connect... it reboots the phone...
and
the camera is still broken
and since i don't really know that much about it... i don't know how to fix it...
hopefully one of you guys that are better at this than me can come up with a fix...
i did get wifi to find my network... though i couldn't connect cuz i don't know the password (i use the push button method normally)
it looks so pretty... and runs so smooth...
if there is anything i can do to make your lives easier on this... just lemme know...
my phone... even though its my only one... is ready for testing...
i don't care about sbf flashes... i do them once in a while just cuz i am a glutton for punishment
ok, this seems fine by now... well I am not a dev so could not direct help, but try by post several threads in other forums in order to try to call other FlipSide users and may be Devs that may help to set this Rom to full.
Hope that lucky we may get some additional help to come.
Best regards and please keep the good work.
Well... I tried your new release...
And everything works... except the phone for me
I can't call out... nor can I receive phone calls...
When I try... it reboots the phone...
That is the only thing keeping this from being my everyday ROM

i was having the same problem as well, mine included the market place too since i installed gapps... i kept messing around with different settings and finally found a solution...
in the settings under wireless and networks go to mobile network settings and change the network preferences to "gsm only" for some reason this beta version doesnt like wcdma yet... which kinda sucks cause you can only get edge that way and no hspda or 3g.. but i was able to make phone calls and download apps after changing that setting..
on another note everything works AWESOME the only problem other than that that ive had is when i changed my ringtones from the default to a custom mp3 or something other than what it comes set at default it doesnt ring anymore when i receive texts or calls... but vibrate mode works just fine which doesnt bother me for now! I'm just so excited to finally see some development on such a neglected device.. i was started ti lose hope and was just gonna let the phone meet the brick wall... i always thought it was odd that nothing was going on with this phone when its more powerful than the original Motorola Droid which was my first android device and its seeing ICS ports... hmm.. ICS ports just something for you guys to chew on.. i will keep playing with stuff on this beta and let you guys know if i find any other bugs!!!!
KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!!!!

lmao no.. i've been doing the exact same thing... im OBSESSED
You guys aren't the only ones... The lack of dev support is honestly the only thing I dislike about the flipside, and it seems like we're well on the way to having a usable rom.
Lol!!!... :-D
Yep... You are not alone, same by me.... I evolve to really appreciate my Flip, since by now is long time that it is serving me faithfully.... really wish and deserve a much better rom for so reliable hardware.
Best regards!
To hell with it...
I'm gonna stick with CM7 for now...
Let's see how many reboots I get today

i 've had terrible battery life, and searching on google lead me to a battery misc processus eating battery, problem solved with 5.0.1 by google
do you guys have the same experience, and have heard about a fix incorporation in the new builds? :good:
I had to go all the way back to the 11-20-14 build. I tried updating to the new builds 12-8, 12-9 and 12-10. No data at all on any of these builds.
Flashed the newest build! We're on Lollipop 5.0.1 now This update is supposed to help battery life. We'll see.
The new music app automaticaly force closes, and the DSPmanager was replaced with AudioFX.
thank you guys for these feedbacks.
Foxy, when you say the new music app, you mean the cyanogenmod one? strange, what could have change ?
Audio playback is fixed now ?

I don't know? It's just called "Music" but the icon is like a poorly designed not lollipop looking purple circle. But Apollo is gone so I suppose that's it. And audio playback works, just the app crashes right when I open it.

mhm then i think a change that has broke the app. I m sure Grarak will correct it in the next release
Ok, the ROM was going great for me, then yesterday at work my phone turned off when it was in my pocket. I tried turning it on, it booted, started doing the boot animation and then did that for five minutes before it shut off again. This time it wouldn't turn back on no matter how many times i tried power cycling or booting into bootloader. When I got home I tried charging it and the light wouldn't even come on. So I plugged it into my PC and the phone showed up as qhsusb_bulk. After researching that i found it means the bootloader got wiped somehow. My question is, how could my bootloader be gone, because as far as I know, no one has gotten their device S-OFF.
your device is bricked
seems there is a solution on the web but not working for everybody and for specific devices
i dont know what to advice you...
i dont know if it is rom related, but if it is, i wont flash this !
Yes that's what i figured. Luckily Amazon was nice enough to give me a new phone once I send that one in. I was just trying to figure out how it would even be possible that my bootloader got fried, considering my device was still S-ON.
any one who tried this rom found any bugs ???????? i want to know the bugs and want to know in htc 816 daul the second sim worked or not

I'm on a single sim Virgin Mobile variant here. There are bugs, yes. This is basically an alpha going into beta of lollipop. There is no one else developing anything new for this device so this is our best bet yet. Aside for some minor niggles here and there, this ROM is very workable as a daily driver. I would recommend a backup, and try this one out. I like it a lot. Grarak is quite amazing actually, many thanks owed.

Didn't test it. Haven't spent enough time on Lollipop because of the no data issue.
I've been playing around with the lastest builds, and I'm actually getting LTE to work without modifying anything, I just have to let it sit for a WHILE and it connects and works quite well.
HOWEVER, I have been getting a corrupt data partition issue with some non-google play apks. I assume that since the build are already not stable, adding homemade, root apks that modify data might cause some corruption. I'll keep playing with it and report back any further updates on how this may be happening.

Yah data works...just not good. It has to do with not being able to access APN's.
No one want's to sit "for a WHILE" to open a webpage or read an email.
On the latest build, System UI crashes.

Help me!! :( No audio at all except using Bluetooth in Galaxy Grand Prime [SM-S920L]

Before I start I just wanna say this is a really amazing phone, I have root from kingroot (then used super su me) and haven't had any probs except this. I've been able to make the sdcard fully writable, enable tethering, use liveboot, recently, lucky patcher, enable init.d scripts, and even use flashfire without any problems. I also have the latest beta 2.71 supersu with pro (Yaaay!) Buuuut I was unable to get Viper4android to work and that's where my problems came in, I installed it correctly through a zip using flashfire even tho the driver installed it would never work and always said adnormal and audio format was unsupported so none of the effects worked I figured this had something to do with selinux being always enforced (even tho the zip I got was supposed to work without changing selinux to permissive it still wouldn't work) I guess I'll have to wait till someone makes a custom kernel that's permissive. I'm an audiophile and I heard people raving about how amazing the sound quality was from viper4android and I wanted to try it but unfortunately I've had no luck getting it to work. Anyways now that I uninstalled it, driver and all the only audio that comes from my phone is if I have my Bluetooth headphones connected other than that no sound from speakers or wired headphones and that totally bums me out I want my sounds back :crying: viper4android has totally ****ed up the audio_policy.conf and audio_effects.conf files and uninstalled audiofx musixfx and dsp manager. All I'm asking is if someone could copy their audio_policy.conf and audio_effects.conf file and use an app like es file explorer to backup the apks for the ones that I need for me. And hopefully that could fix my sound problem. Sorry for going on and on about my phone just to end up asking for some files and apks, but I don't wanna get a new phone or have to wait till someone uploads a stock rom. Cuz I like the way I have my phone at now except for that I freaking knew it! When enabling force enable v4a it said that it could cause no sound and battery drain which is exactly wuts happening. Guess I should have read past the could fix no effects problem part... Sorry, I couldn't post a screenshot
Oh god I'm going to have to just get a new phone, I tried calling someone and no audio comes from my phone so I can't talk even the microphone won't work so I can't talk to them and they can't talk to me. Also videos play in slow motion and skips if I'm using mx player. I've factory reset my phone twice and still nothing. So should I just get a new phone maybe one that has a working custom recovery and several roms for it like a galaxy s5? That's with I should do. I'm not even gonna me viper4android again. Do anybody know if those files could fix my phone's audio problem? I'm so frustrated!!
Never mind I'll just get a new phone.
Reinstall stock using keis or check sammobile for an odin compatible version
Edit; Also check the viper4android forums for the correct uninstall method, it involves reediting files.
Next time you make changes, remember to make a back up!
I couldn't make a nandroid backup or something like that cuz there isn't a custom recovery available yet and to uninstall viper4android all it said was to remove the driver and app I didn't see where it said about editing files. Also my dad wanted to look at it and he told me not to root it so I used the supersu app to fully unroot it but that bricked it and now it's stuck at the bootlogo (I didn't think that would happen tho) I'll see about that odin thing cuz I know how to get into download mode and all that. But I'll have to do it when he's at work. I probably should have looked into viper4android more or just not attempted it. I didn't even see that it uninstalls the dsp manager until it was too late if I had known I wouldn't have tried it.
Also could you give me more info and how to go about doing that? This phone is pretty obscure and unknown. Out of all the versions of the grand prime this is the most difficult to find resources and info on. If nothing works out I'll get a new phone maybe an htc or huawei something more looked upon and cared about.
What model is it exactly?

Aw, yeah I saw that before. It's a rom made from the core prime that should only be used if u bricked ur phone and a lot of things don't work with it (network doesn't work and it's glitchy) they call it Frankenprime. Putting something like that on it would do more harm than good. I should just wait until they put out a stock rom for this one.

Yeah, I was thinking the same but it wasn't for me to decide haha, sucks your phone is such an obtuse model, the Grand Prime is an awesome phone.
Yeahs it is a good phone, the hauwei nexus 6p is probably the best phone out now tho
Yeah, I guess, but I got this phone for a hundred bucks, where I live a new nexus is a couple months of wages haha

I'm tinkering with my Portable as well . I currently have Linage OS on it and am able to install NVIDIA Games on it . Geforce Now will not stream however and I get an "error code 11". I also was not able to download Xcloud game streaming .
Let me ask you about your portable . If you are on stock firmware ( Lollipop) , do you randomly lose volume -like if the headphones where plugged in ? This happens on mine . If I'm on Kit Kat it's fine but I can't use Geforce Now or anything .
I've been racking my brain over this for awhile - there is still some life in this device and would like to resolve this issue.
I need to get a stock OTA zip currently I can't find it in any of my archives I've also been pretty busy lately as for any issues pertaining to the stock OTA I can't take a look until later on I will be setting up a build environment to see if I can build stock again from source (not sure how likely it will be) I have been hearing a lot of issues with stock OTA now I am honestly not sure if that is due to issues with it or if some of these devices aren't aging well
Also any of you looking to reach me with any questions I don't check XDA much so here's a telegram link to the chat pinned to first post

lol - This device !! I've decided I'm not giving up yet ! I've tried stock L ( 103, 106, 110 ) All have this weird sound issue where the speakers will either make heart attack inducing high pitches ( capacitor noises ? ) or the volume will force itself into "silent mode" . You can restart the portable and the sound will come back , calm down ect. This is really bothering me though because game streaming is still really good on this device . Also when on official Kit Kat or Linage OS none of these sound problems occur. I've even tried rooting it and basically removing all Google apps possible and the sound issue still happens .
Currently I have the portable rooted with Magisk on Linage OS 6.1 ( the last nightly build) I've tried hiding the NVIDIA apps , Sony PS4 Remote Play and have had "no luck ". Geforce Now will install perfectly start to load the game , then right before it starts there is a error code 11 that pops up .
Something Google did in the lollipop update to the portable messed up the speakers . ( I thought it might be the "memory leak issue" - but the last update OFW was 5.1 not 5.0
Haaaalllppp !!!

No worries . I did read on some old NVIDIA forums around the time of the Lollipop update , some people did talk about sound loss issues .
Hey, question to anyone who can answer - I just got my hands on a couple of Shield Portable 2 prototypes. They seem a bit less complete than the famous one that showed up at a pawn shop a couple of years ago, but one of them turns on and can connect to the internet. I want to see if I can get it up and running - it's still quite buggy, will crash if any videos are opened and obviously doesn't have any google services involved - but I just want to do what I can to make it as usable as possible. . I'm a complete noob when it comes to all this, just someone who was a big fan of the original portable and wanted to try and get this prototype to run some games. If anyone can help me out, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm wondering if you could dump the system info , if someone could make a custom rom that could be flashed ?
I'm interested in anything that people manage with streaming.
I got lineage android 6.1 installed on it yesterday and managed to get the xbox game streaming app installed via the apk (the latest one boots then crashes, but the one before loads), however it still requires a bluetooth controller to connect, wish we could get the integrated controller to work with this and would make it so perfect for streaming xbox remotely.
If anyone is wondering yes I am still working on the device as we all know this year has been a real doozy for us all also I am moving across the US this coming week so please just work with all the devs here and we shall see what happens

Awesome glad to hear it. Just revived mine.
I am working on gathering all Shield portable files and putting them up on our website AFH. Let me know when you have something ready and I will make sure it gets put on every server possible and doesn't get deleted.
Here is what I have gathered so far

Thanks
Alex with AFH
Oddly enough guys I've been having issues pulling the manifest from RR I've told them about the issue we'll see if it gets fixed it looks like I am not having any issues pulling aosp manifest keep in mind I am not saying that I will have a aosp rom out because I am unsure if that will even work but we will see what happens
Update: no issues with AOSP now I'm just waiting for lineage to finish again no promises of a rom guys I know we've been having issues since 7.x android quite frankly I'd be surprised myself if lineage 17.1 will even work
Also on some personal notes this is 100% a back burner project as it looks as tho I'll be having to move again as I haven't been able to find work where I am currently at I know that the whole covid-19 situation has made it hard on everyone especially here in the US among other things in the country right now but I am still hopeful things will turn around and work out and hopefully I can get some kind of build out even if it's not great

Not sure I know RR 6.0.1 had quite a few bugs but due to how outdated 6.x is I can't really do much with it
