I do it because the life of my G11i Pro is already shortened... now that MT6575 phones are being released. Heheh :D

Seriously, you can overclock your phone... unless you want to have it for many years. The fact is that you will probably exchange it for a new one before it "dies" due to the effects caused by overclocking the CPU.

Well, just now I am starting to enjoy it (after the hebrew was fixed):).
Maybe I will do it in the future.

Do we have any custom kernels for these phones? For overclocking without the app or to improve bluetooth performance. Or overall performance. Bluetooth audio is way to low.

I have another little issue with my H7300 : the orientation sensor is not calibrate. When I take my phone in my hand it change the screen rotation alternatively between landscape mode or portait mode. So I must switch off orientation ... And it's not easy to show photos with gallery without auto screen rotation.

So is there a solution to calibrate orientation sensor definitively ?

Did anyone ever figure out how to install the torch and updated fm radio apps?

Go into factory mode - Test Item - g-sensor calibration. Place your phone on a flat, horizontal surface, then run the 2 calibration routines displayed.

What is the code to go into factory mode ?

Edit : OK, forget it, I found : Push Power button + Volume Down until "Factory Mode" appear down the screen. I calibrate my g-sensor. Very good !

Hello.

I've received 2 Chinese phones from a partner.
The first one is a Miki EA6600T with a MT6513, this one :
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13886821031
The second is a X19i MT6573, this one:
http://www.chinaonlineshop24.com/ce...-card-dual-standby-3g-smart-mobile-phone.html

I've tried to root both using zergRush but they are in 2.3.6, so it doesn't work, "Helios with blue flame" :(

I don't know if your rom can be installed on these devices, what do you think ?

Do you know a method to root this kind of phones and/or to install a custom recovery ?

Thanks for your advices.

Hi, french man ! :)

To root it, you can try unlockroot or superoneclick ... I did it with unlockroot with my H7300, superoneclick does not work for me but an other friend of me did it with superoneclick ... Try and see.

Salut.
It's true that we are not a lot around here ;)

To root it, you can try unlockroot or superoneclick ... I did it with unlockroot with my H7300, superoneclick does not work for me but an other friend of me did it with superoneclick ... Try and see.

Already tried, they use the zergRush method that exploit the libc exploit but this exploit has been patched on android 2.3.6.
superoneclick proposes also another method but I don't remember the name ... but doesn't work either.

EDIT: other method of superoneclick is "psneuter" but it is for android < 2.3.3

Nope, unfortunatly, I don't have any factory roms for these devices.
I've searched on Chinese forums and manufacturers sites but nothing.

On the first one, the Miki, the recovery mode has been modified, there is no option do update from a zip for example, only some test features, so I think it will be harder with this one.

But for the galaxy clone, everything is 'default'.
I've try to do a OTA in recovery mode but it failed, so it checks the certificate at least (it was an exploit for samsung phones).

I hope that I will find a breach, specialy for the miki because it has no market, and lot of chinese apps, so it is almost useless.

    Hi there

    I have been reading these forums for some time and have finally created my own cooked ROM for these MT6573 / MTK6573 based Chinese Androids that I wanted to share since there doesn't seem to be any here.

    This ROM was created from a stock system ROM off a Hero H7300 which I believe should work on all HD7 or T9299 clones.
    The ID for the base ROM is 10HX2P.H7300.111125.AD2_3_4_V1.WVGAC_EN.COM_V01_3G.
    I don't like to customise things too much (since everyone has their own preferences) so I have just done most of the basics.

    NOTE: Only ROMs v1 through v4 are based on the above 2.3.4 ROM.
    v5 is based off a newer 2.3.5 ROM provided and modified by Bruno Martin.

    Here is a list of what I have done to this ROM:

    GPS Region Change
    If you are in a different region (most probably are :p) you can go to this thread to download a gps.conf for your area:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630
    Dowload the file you need and then replace it under /system/etc/gps.conf
    Having the correct file here makes a huge improvement in the speed of GPS fixes.

    ROM v9 Camera Button Fix
    In ROM v9 I fixed the camera button to open to camera instead of the phone interface.... Or so I thought.
    Unfortunately I missed a file that was overriding the change.
    To set the camera button back to camera functionality perform the following steps.
    Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/Camera/mt6573-kpd.kl
    You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
    Code:
    adb root
    adb remount
    adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.bak
    adb push mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl
    You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.
    Be aware that the camera functionality is activated by a long press of the camera button.

    Reversed BACK and MENU buttons
    If you have a phone where the BACK and MENU buttons operate around the wrong way then follow these instructions to switch them around.
    Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/qwerty.kl
    You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
    Code:
    adb root
    adb remount
    adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.bak
    adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
    You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.

    Go Launcher and Go Locker
    I have installed these two apps since they are my favourite ones and are very customisable and skinnable.
    They are installed on the data folder so feel free to replace them with your own preferred launcher/locker.
    Just remember not to move the launcher or locker themes to your SD card as they may not work properly after reboot. (especially locker themes)

    Build.prop Settings
    Currently these are the custom settings I have added to the build.prop
    Feel free to alter these yourself to how you prefer by editing /system/build.prop file.
    Code:
    # fix some app problems
    ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
    #enable hardware acceleration
    debug.sf.hw=1
    #increase dalvik cache
    dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m
    #Saving jpg at 100% quality
    ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
    #Improved the quality of photos and videos
    ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000
    ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000
    #Disable icon in the status bar debug mode when you connect the cable
    persist.adb.notify=0
    #Disable delay call
    ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
    #optimization of energy consumption
    wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
    pm.sleep_mode=1
    ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
    #Removing delay returning from black screen after/during a call
    ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
    mot.proximity.delay=25
    #Helps scrolling responsiveness
    windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
    #Increase touch responsiveness
    debug.performance.tuning=1
    video.accelerate.hw=1
    #Disable boot animation for faster boot
    debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
    #Disable surface dithering to improve image quality
    persist.sys.use_dithering=0

    Hero H7300 (HD7/T9299) Cooked ROM by Bunta v9


    Installation Guide

    DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER WITH THESE PHONES AS IT IS INCOMPATIBLE

    1) Download my ROM rename it to update.zip and copy it on to your sdcard under /mnt/sdcard/update.zip

    2) Next you will need to install a custom recovery partition to be able to install custom ROMs.
    Bruno Martins has provided an excellent guide for flashing these phones which you can follow here:
    http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html
    He also has his own Custom Recovery Image and ROMs he has developed with custom frameworks you can download from here:
    http://www.eten-users.eu/index.php?/topic/21447-hd7-mt6573-support-thread/
    Download the recovery image and then follow his flashing tutorial to install that to your phone.

    3) Once you have the recovery image installed reboot your phone into recovery mode by holding down the volume up + power key to turn the phone on.
    This will then boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.

    4) First thing you want to do here is to go into backup and restore and create a backup of your phone that you can restore back to if you don't like my ROM.

    5) Once you have a backup you can follow this guide to install the custom ROM.

    6) After you install the ROM and restart your phone don't be scared if it sits on a black screen or the boot animation for some time as it's just rebuilding the dalvik cache.
    This should take about 5-10 mins on first boot.
    (I got nervous my ROM didn't work the first time I booted it :p)

    7) [optional] Update your gps.conf for your local region using the instructions above.

    8) [optional] If using ROM v6 or later you can increase your internal memory size by moving the data partition to an ext2 partition on your memory card. This can be done by following these instructions.
