  3. Where is the update.zip Ewra Rom? You're linking to the old ewra.zip . Should i just rename it? (running 2.2.2 and CW recovery)

  4. until is not available,but you must flash it from sdcard via recovery ;) use my restore script

  5. Successfully (?) installed via fastboot/adb. Rom looks great, only problem so far : cannot install an alternative keyboard and i REALLY need it as greek is not installed by default (tried htc_ime and Go Keyboard). They appear on the Settings>Keyboard list, but not when you press and hold Input Method :( When you go back to Settings the 2nd keyboard appears unchecked. As if something is not saved properly.

    1. wait a few minutes,I'll test Swype keyboard

      Delete
    2. I'm just install Swype and check it as default keyboard,then I reboot and Swype no uncheked(set from Input Method)

  6. Ok, I'll try rebooting. Another thing I noticed; kernel's running on conservative by default, I had to use SetCPU to set it to performance (ot990 is too slow for anything else, lag is noticeable). Not sure if that was intentional or not.

    1. I don't not use these apps,because easier for me in order to save work with shell scripts

      Delete
    2. Then I guess you should find the corresponding line in the script that controlls the CPU Governor and edit accordingly!

      Delete
    3. am I should find? why?=D
      if I know what can do for it,and I added command for control CPU governor in ramdisk and set as default ;) also I know where can set this governor in scripts of init.d
      and it is at my discretion

      Delete
  7. To set things straight; I never suggested you use SetCPU. As soon as I installed the ROM i noticed it was lagging, A LOT. So i run CPU Spy to check the states and alas, it was running at sub-optimal cycles. SetCPU just helped me run the governor on performance and at either 600mhz or Deep Sleep (the 'default' Alcatel way). I am helping you out here, not trying to force you to install any apps (?!).

    In response to your "discretionary" message now, you consciously wanted a phone with an underperforming processor to run on conservative governor? It felt slower than the G1 at times! (conservative tended to drop the cpu to 122-300Mhz, only rarely going to full 600Mhz).

    Another thing,apart from the inability to use an alternative keyboard, Brightness settings are also not saved. I use a widget to control brightness but it refuses to work with this rom. I sense it's a problem with permissions or something wrong in your "shell scripts".

    logs:
    https://pastee.org/urfmv < Keyboard not found, it's looking at the wrong directory, note this line:

    I/XT9_C ( 2305): File "/data/data/jonasl.ime/udb" does not exist.


    https://pastee.org/s334a < Brightness-related log. I don't honestly know what's wrong here.

    1. Then look at the config.gz of kernel next firmware (2.3.4), where you can see that the default mode of cpu the performance?
      also look at tuning conservative, which I ordered in a shell script, it is not "conservative tended to drop the cpu to 122-300Mhz, only rarely going to full 600Mzh"

      cpufreq_ondemand
      Dynamically switches between the CPU(s) available clock speeds based on system load

      cpufreq_performance
      The performance governor runs the CPU(s) at maximum clock speed

      cpufreq_conservative
      Similar to ondemand, but the CPU(s) clock speed switches gradually through all its available frequencies based on system load

      cpufreq_powersave
      Runs the CPU(s) at minimum speed

      cpufreq_userspace
      Manually configured clock speeds by user

      "I/XT9_C ( 2305): File "/data/data/jonasl.ime/udb" does not exist."
      /data - a custom section for user,and if there is a problem,the problem is in the installed programs

      "I sense it's a problem with permissions or something wrong in your "shell scripts". " - and what is worth seeing?

      In logs do not have what belongs to the bugs of the system

    2. Made a short 1min vid of the brightness/keyboard/camera issue @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob6bNJ252XQ&hd=1

  8. Note: All the errors you see in that video were fixed after rebooting to recovery and wiping cache! Sorry for being such a pain Sergey, and thanks for a great ROM :)

  19. Sergey how can we set bootanimation in Ewra rom ?
    Where to place bootanimation.zip ?

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  20. /custpack/JRD_custres/media
    and delete line from build.prop or change value
    "debug.sf.nobootanimation=1" on "0"

    ReplyDelete
  21. I try to put custom bootanimation.zip to /custpack/JRD_custres/media and i deleted the debug.sf.nobootanimation=1 line in build.prop but no animation , also i try to put bootanimation.gif and deleted bootanimation.zip from ../media but still no custom animation only when i deleted bootanimation.zip i get some android text animation ... ? Where can be a problem?

    Thanks.

    1. Try it only with change values and bootanimation.zip
      So,after as you delete this line and not put new user animation,are the stock bootanimatoin.zip worked or on?
      If you have the problem with wi fi now,can you mast try fix permissions:
      load in recovery
      set the advanced
      set the fix permissions

      I think it should help

      Delete
  22. Hi now i have android text glow bootanimation and i dont know where is that from because i dont have any files in the custpack/JRD_custres/media

    I dont have wifi issues anymore but if thay came up again i'll try to fix permissions and let u know about that.
