the owner of thl W8, what (custom) rom you use? you're satisfied?

I use the original ROM that was installed when I bought it.
I use it in combination with GravityBox to expand the functionality.

What are your requirements regarding a custom rom. Because many things that a custom ROM gives you, you can achieve with the stock ROM and GravityBox.

Wired Heaset Problem

licinio7 said:
I have bought a replacement original set of earphones for my THL W8S.
The problem is that the sound is very dim, even at maximum volume.
If I press the button it comes in normal loudness.
Besides, the button does not command the phone (receive call, stop playing music, etc).
This happens with other types of headsets.
The original headset provided with the phone worked perfectly.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? What is the solution?

I have the same problem exactly!! I have THL W8s (not rooted), android 4.2.1...
Just bought wired headset with HD Voice because i lost original but the central button does not work!
If I press the button, the sound just comes in normal loudness.

I have tested headset to S3, S3 mini and THL 5000 and work perfectly! I made some changes to Engineer Mode but nothing...
Anyone some idea to this problem?? I don't want to do firmware update for this issue....

Engineer Mode Tweaked Audio Level Settings for ThL W8

To enter Engineer Mode dial *#*#3646633#*#*
You can also create a shortcut to engineer mode using your launcher. In LauncherPro, for example, you can long press on an empty space on the home screen and choose shortcut, activities, engineer mode, com.mediatek.engineermode.EngineerMode

More info:


Once in engineer mode, slide right two times to Hardware Testing, then choose Audio.


These are the audio levels I'm using for the ThL W8 (4g rom model). Your levels may vary or or your preferences may vary.

-Level 0 through Level 6 are listed in sequence.
-Media setting is for playback of movies/audio/etc in most cases.
-Sph in most cases is the handset (earpiece not earbuds) speaker output in phone calls
-I believe sip refers to VoIP phone call volumes.
-sph2, sid, and matv, not sure what they refer to.
-FMR, is FM radio.
-Ring is ringtone volume.
-Can't set the FMR any lower than 16 and 16 is kinda loud for the lowest volume it will go while earbuds are plugged in. Anyone have a fix for this?
-I'm not sure why there is a 'max vol' setting on most of these as setting a specific volume level greater than the max makes it louder than the 'max vol' setting. Maybe the specific level settings are like a percentage of the 'max vol' setting (like 255/255 is 100%, 64/255 is 25%, 255 being the highest number a single byte (8 bits) can hold in binary notation).
-If the max isn't marked as (unchangeable) then you can change it to something different (higher, lower).
-Max vol setting applies for all levels of a specific audio 'type' and not to individual 'levels.'
-Setting loudspeaker, media to 255 caused slight distortion in my testing, YMMV. 248 seemed just right for loudness with no distortion.
-Other guides mentioned a reboot is required to hear changes. I found this was not the case and I could tweak the volume as it was playing no reboot needed. Though you'll probably want to reboot after you find a good setting for your phone to save the changes.

If you want to change the volume of the phone you have to first look at the way engineering mode is organized. Choose your desired speaker output first. Do you want to change earbuds/headphones? Then choose headset mode. Do you want to change the main loudspeaker? Then choose Loudspeaker mode.

Then, determine what kind of sound you want to increase. Is it media (audio/video/music/etc)? Then choose media in the 'type' drop down. Is it phonecalls? Then choose sph. Is the speaker phone incoming call volume too low? Then set Loudspeaker mode, sph level 6 to a higher setting. Is incoming call volume too low on the ear speaker? Then set normal mode, sph level 6 higher.

You could adjust level 5 higher or level 4 higher etc. When you press the volume up it goes to a higher level. When the volume up button doesn't go any higher that is at the max (i.e. level 6). All the way down is level 0. Adjust how the volume sounds at different levels according to your preferences.

You may also tweak the microphone volume using the above levels as a guide. Callers on the other end of phone calls have described my mic as 'very clear' using the volume level above.
The settings above are pretty good for me but I may change them in time and update this post as needed.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

My parameters in speech enhancement for Headset mode are 31 and you have 34 parameters. If I keep your values till 31 will there be any issues ?

There might be issues even if you had the exact same phone/amount of parameters. Or there might not be. I don't know really but I experimented to come up with the values. Set them, tried them out, and tweaked them to get something usable. I don't use that phone anymore (since upgraded) but those values worked for the life of it quite nicely.

So I'd say try it out, if it doesn't work or if you have issues just set back to some values you don't have issues. And always have a TWRP (nandroid) or similar full backup if you need to. For these audio values setting something too high might be a problem but too low won't hurt it. So up volume a little at a time until you get the level you want. I don't know what those 3 extra values are for.

I've messed up some mic settings in EngineerMode in my rooted Micromax Canvas 4 A210 and it resulted in, the other party cannot hear me when I call.

Factory reset did not help.

Flashing the rom can solve this problem but the problem is, the CWM recovery is not working. When I want to go to recovery mode, the phone just boot up.


Thanks and regards,

A quick question to anyone. A friend ask me to change the broken digitizer on his THL W8 phone. He bought the digitizer by himself. When I disassembled the phone I found out that the back of the replacement digitizer is different... see pictures. First picture is how the broken digitizer looks like and the second picture is how the replacement looks like. When I connected the replacement part (I did not stick it to the phone, just connected) it did not work. So the question is.. Are those digitizers the same or is the version he bought only for a certain model of this phone. Thanks for any advices.

How would I find the access code for my device? The one below is not working and I want to bump the input volume on the mic in speakerphone mode. Other end is clear but very faint even with their volume all of the way up. This is on one of those Chinese 12.1" Tesla style radios that are popping up.

Maybe the specific level settings are like a percentage of the 'max vol' setting (like 255/255 is 100%, 64/255 is 25%, 255 being the highest number a single byte (8 bits) can hold in binary notation).
    -If the max isn't marked as (unchangeable) then you can change it to something different (higher, lower).
    -Max vol setting applies for all levels of a specific audio 'type' and not to individual 'levels.'
    -Setting loudspeaker, media to 255 caused slight distortion in my testing, YMMV. 248 seemed just right for loudness with no distortion.
    -Other guides mentioned a reboot is required to hear changes. I found this was not the case and I could tweak the volume as it was playing no reboot needed. Though you'll probably want to reboot after you find a good setting for your phone to save the changes.

    If you want to change the volume of the phone you have to first look at the way engineering mode is organized. Choose your desired speaker output first. Do you want to change earbuds/headphones? Then choose headset mode. Do you want to change the main loudspeaker? Then choose Loudspeaker mode.

    Then, determine what kind of sound you want to increase. Is it media (audio/video/music/etc)? Then choose media in the 'type' drop down. Is it phonecalls? Then choose sph. Is the speaker phone incoming call volume too low? Then set Loudspeaker mode, sph level 6 to a higher setting. Is incoming call volume too low on the ear speaker? Then set normal mode, sph level 6 higher.

    You could adjust level 5 higher or level 4 higher etc. When you press the volume up it goes to a higher level. When the volume up button doesn't go any higher that is at the max (i.e. level 6). All the way down is level 0. Adjust how the volume sounds at different levels according to your preferences.

    You may also tweak the microphone volume using the above levels as a guide. Callers on the other end of phone calls have described my mic as 'very clear' using the volume level above.
    The settings above are pretty good for me but I may change them in time and update this post as needed.

    Hope this helps!

    As some of you may already know, I am recently working on GravityBox app that utilizes amazing Xposed Framework coded by rovo89 which provides the interface to mod the system at runtime. Thanks to @peptonib mentioning Xposed couple of days ago to me, I started to think about it and realised what kind of great power hides behind it.
    My goal is to provide an app which could be used on any W8 4.2.1 (rooted) stock ROM.
    Simply by installing Xposed framework + my GravityBox module users will get access to all the features I've already introduced in my GravityMod2 rom - without needing to actually flash any custom rom. The task is quite challenging and there's still a lot of work to do, but I am confident to say that it looks promising.

    Just want to share something about THL W8

    Since our THL W8 ringtone and in call volume is low, you may refer link below for tips to increase your ringtone volume, in call volume and mic volume.

    http://www.zopomobileshop.com/zopo-...le-phone-mic-loudspeaker-and-ringtone-volume/
    http://www.patchworkoftips.com/increase-call-volume-android/2028/

    If you would like to change your lock screen picture instead of stock blue background picture:

    What i used..
    1.7zip - 7-Zip
    2.Windows 7
    3.ES File Explorer manager

    Please backup your phone before you try this as you have high chance to cause the phone cannot boot.

    lets get right into it..

    1. You will need good resolution pictures - 720 x 1280

    2.Open ES File Explorer, remember to check "Mount File System" in Setting - navigate to system/framework/

    3.Make a copy of your framework-res.apk and put it on your SD card in a safe folder.

    4.you can take another copy or the copy that you put on the SD card and put it on your desktop.

    5. In your computer, open the apk with 7zip and navigate to framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi\
    (this is where your portrait pictures go)

    6. Now rename your desire background picture to ic_lockscreen_fill_background_thl with .bmp extension, which is as ic_lockscreen_fill_background_thl.bmp

    7. Now drag your background picture and navigate to framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi\ and paste inside.

    8. now copy the framework-res.apk that you have modified and paste into your SD card.

    9.copy from SD and paste in /system

    10.now hold the modified framework-res.apk and bring up the menu and go down to properties then change permissions to rw - r - r. (this is critical, failure will cause a bootloop)

    11.now copy the file again and paste it into framework/ and replace the original apk.

    12.it will probably be laggy and reboot. which is fine,

    13. Once phone rebooted, you should now have your custom lockscreen pictures.


    In case you screwed up your phone, you can flash new firmware:

    Firmware for THL W8: ThL_W8.JB.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589V1.0.13_20130312
    The program for the firmware: SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119
    Drivers: MT6589 Drivers
    Instructions to flash new firmware: W8_firmware_update_manual (it is in russian but you can use google translate)

    I've already tried building my own libdvm but was not able to make it work on my THL W8. There are probably some close relations to other libs that would need to be replaced together with libdvm (maybe whole dalvik stuff).
    But I haven't experimented any further with it.

    Ah, I'm sorry, even though I thought I've read the whole thread I must have missed this one. Heh, and I thought I've found something new, should have known better :).

    I tried to check the dependencies between libs with ldd, but it seems that's not available in busybox. Well, I guess we have to wait for an update or maybe one of the other brands like lenovo or acer to release a fixed rom with working libs. Thanks anyway.

    I get the "distance x10" bug, too, using OsmAnd OpenStreetMap-based navigation and map. Also GPS fixes almost always take several minutes despite using FasterGPS, A-GPS, EPO.

    The distance bug I can live with, but not being able to rely on GPS is <expletive deleted>. Any suggestions as to what I could do?

    Click to collapse

    That's strange, getting a fix takes usually around 15s and accuracy of the tracks is surprisingly good, a lot better than my SGS. I can get a fix even inside my house at the windows under conditions when my SGS doesn't even find a single satellite.

    Have you tried the tool ypgs inside mobileuncle? You can find it under Engineer Mode/Enginee Mode ( MTK ) then shifting to the right to Location. The first Tab Satellites should show immediatly several red dots which turn green and yellow when fixed. If the dots are not showing, you're getting a cold start, meaning your gps doesn't know where to start. Try going outside and wait till you get a fix, could take several minutes for the first time. After that I always got fast fixes in all apps which are using gps. Worth a try anyway.
