no update since a long time. what happened?!:confused:

Sent from my Micromax A117 using XDA Free mobile app

The original wiko has only one update higher which uses 3.4.67. I am not updating it to that new cm since 3.4.67 is not battery friendly. So not updating it basically.

Plus I have moved on to development of Yu so this device development might be very very slow or nil.

Basically you are on stock ROM always I think ;)

    Android 4.4.4 KitKat for Canvas Magnus A117 has finally arrived.

    Say thanks to @chrmhoffmann for compiling the first ever CM11 for MT6589.

    ORIGINAL THREAD: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2676086

    Code:
    #include 
    /*
     * Your warranty is now void.
     *
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM

     */

    CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors.

    What works:

    - SIM1 for phone calls (incoming/outgoing) and SMS, data (2g, 3g)
    - SIM2 is a WIP
    - Audio (microphone - now also outside phone calls, loudspeaker, headphones)
    - Sensors
    - Wifi (not wifi direct)
    - GPS (no A-GPS yet nor EPO assist files, so the fix can take a bit)
    - hw composer
    - camera for taking pictures (not video)
    - wifi and usb tethering
    - battery usage stats (expect the usage for Display to be very unprecise)
    - candy crush, facebook and twitter

    What doesn't work, known bugs:

    - 2nd sim card 3G switch
    - camera for "movies" does not work
    - (hw) video en/decoding not enabled
    - FM radio not available
    - A-GPS does not work, GPS works though but slowish
    - rest of MTK specifics (what?)

    - ... you tell me

    Change logs

    Change logs :

    Custom kernel with various governors and included in v0.11 ROM itself.

    New governors added in kernel


    • Intellidemand
    • Sakuractive
    • zzmoove
    • Pegasusq
    • Smartassv2


    First go to Settings -> About phone and tap Build number 5 times.

    Now Governors can be set from Settings-> Performance->Processor-> CPU Governors

    Explanation on Governors :

    Intellidemand:

    Intellidemand aka Intelligent Ondemand from Faux is yet another governor that's based on ondemand. Unlike what some users believe, this governor is not the replacement for OC Daemon (Having different governors for sleep and awake). The original intellidemand behaves differently according to GPU usage. When GPU is really busy (gaming, maps, benchmarking, etc) intellidemand behaves like ondemand. When GPU is 'idling' (or moderately busy), intellidemand limits max frequency to a step depending on frequencies available in your device/kernel for saving battery. This is called browsing mode. We can see some 'traces' of interactive governor here. Frequency scale-up decision is made based on idling time of CPU. Lower idling time (<20%) causes CPU to scale-up from current frequency. Frequency scale-down happens at steps=5% of max frequency. (This parameter is tunable only in conservative, among the popular governors)
    To sum up, this is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling, and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such. Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.

    Sakuractive:

    This driver mimics the frequency scaling behavior in "on demand" but with several key differences. First is that frequency transitions use the CPUFreq table directly, instead of incrementing in a percentage of the maximum available frequency. Second "sakuractive" will offline auxillary CPUs when the system is idle, and online those CPUs once the system becomes busy again. This last feature is needed for architectures which transition to low power states when only the "master" CPU is online, or for thermally constrained devices

    ZZmoove

    ZZmove Governor optimized for low power consumption with the screen off, with particular attention to the limitation of consumption applications in the background with the screen off, such as listening to music. It has three settings: battery saver, balanced and performance. In addition to a performance boost, there is also the governor zzmove optimized.

    Pegasusq/Pegasusd

    The Pegasus-q / d is a multi-core based on the Ondemand governor and governor with integrated hot-plugging.
    Ongoing processes in the queue, we know that multiple processes can run simultaneously on. These processes are active in an array, which is a field called "Run Queue" queue that is ongoing, with their priority values ​​arranged (priority will be used by the task scheduler, which then decides which process to run next).

    To ensure that each process has its fair share of resources, each running for a certain period and will eventually stop and then again placed in the queue until it is your turn again. If a program is terminated, so that others can run the program with the highest priority in the current queue is executed.

    SmartassV2:
    Version 2 of the original smartass governor from Erasmux. Another favorite for many a people. The governor aim for an "ideal frequency", and ramp up more aggressively towards this freq and less aggressive after. It uses different ideal frequencies for screen on and screen off, namely awake_ideal_freq and sleep_ideal_freq. This governor scales down CPU very fast (to hit sleep_ideal_freq soon) while screen is off and scales up rapidly to awake_ideal_freq (500 mhz for GS2 by default) when screen is on. There's no upper limit for frequency while screen is off (unlike Smartass). So the entire frequency range is available for the governor to use during screen-on and screen-off state. The motto of this governor is a balance between performance and battery.

    FAQs​
    NOTE: For every problem try a restart first.....
    Q1. Titanium Backup not showing my backups?
    Ans. Go to titanium backup settings then choose your backup folder location. As sdcards are swapped in the rom. Sdcard0 is your internal sdcard and Sdcard1 is your external sdcard.
    Q2 Can't connect usb storage to pc?
    Ans. Go to settings->storage and select usb connection from menu.
    Q3 Can't see contacts from second sim?
    Ans. Just use the rom normally for a day or two with some restarts.... It worked for me. The contacts should be visible then after clicking all contacts.
    Q4 Cant take screenshots or storage problems.
    Ans. You probably have flashed ebr partitions to increase internal memory..... Flash stock rom first through sp flash tools then again flash the cm11 rom.
    Q5 How to enable usb debugging?
    Ans. Go to about phone then repeatedly click on buil number.
    Q6 How to enable ART (Android Run Time) and what are benefits?
    Ans. Go to Developer options and choose ART from "select runtime"
    By using ART less resources are used and apps are loaded faster.
    Q7 How to disable vibrate on touch?
    Ans. Go to settings->sound and disable vibrate on touch.
    Q8 High memory usage by apps although no big apps installed?
    Ans. ART uses more memory than dalvik. Switch to dalvik runtime if you have less free memory.
    NOTE: Dont try video recording. Otherwise your device will be freezed and will have to restart. Also don't flash ebr partitions to increase internal memory and don't try any tweaks or anything because it's CM
