SilverLight™ 5 - alpha !​

Hi friends, sorry i'm too late than i expected. Day's passed on swiftly and i'm here to just release the alpha of Silverlight 5.


SilverLight 5 bug fixes are here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30734779#post30734779

Important feature is that it is based on Android 2.3.6 !

It has been ported from Alcated 918D [MTK 6573]

Everything works fine. (Special thanks to yasir bro for testing it !!!)

I also named it as Stock Android 2.3.6 update for Spice Mi-350n.

It is just stock, for now :(

Another important thing is that, I'm making this port an open-source port. Since, i saw new rom makers emerging, it would be easy for them to cook/build custom ROMs from this port.

One thing, if someone wants to use it, do give me an information and a credit in your thread !! :D

FROM HERE, ALL DOWNLOADS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR GOOGLE CODE PAGE:

SilverLight™ 3


Features:
>> Based on Official Spice build v2 !(thanks to yasir bro!!)
-- If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5/1.01(or did not flash your phone by following this guide), then do please flash your phone with official build v2 using this guide. It takes a mere 7 minutes for you to flash it but it takes hours together for me to make one for v1.5. If you want, i can make one for v1.5 also, but it can't be released within one week. So, bear with me & do upgrade your phone to official v2 !!!

NOTE1: If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5, then you won't lose your apps. Just flash official v2 with the help of flashing tutorial and the flash SilverLight 3 !

NOTE2 (read this only after reading the flashing guide above): If you are upgrading, then in the flashing guide linked above, in step 5, i did it like & it worked : After loading the scatter file, with battery inserted,i connected the phone by pressing Back+Menu buttons. My pc detected it and i clicked Format->Download. I kept holding it till the red process completed and from there everything went fine and flashing was successful.

Installation Instructions (SL-v3):


NOTE: Its is highly recommended to make a complete nandroid backup(including boot.img) before installing. Do not boot your phone in between.

Also disable Signature verification every time you flash a zip because they are not signed.

1) Download 'SilverLight-3_by_balamu96m.7z'. Extract it. Then you'll have SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip , SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip & SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip(These are flashable zips. So do not extract them)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

2) Copy all the three & place it in your sdcard. (preferably at the root).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

3) Now boot into recovery (modded or CWM) and choose - flash zip from sdcard --> select zip from sdcard --> select SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip.
Let it install without any error. DO NOT TRY BOOTING.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) Now, before installing SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip, mount 'System' & 'Data' in recovery (i.e) mounts --> system and then data. Now install SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip by steps followed above !. DO NOT TRY BOOTING.

Click to collapse

THATS ALL !! You have successfully installed SilverLight™ 3 !!
Now boot your phone. First boot may take long time (even 10 minutes !), but don't worry. It will boot !!


STEPS TO ENABLE A2SD after installing the ROM:




NOTE: If you had done this already for Bala's ROM v1.5, no need to do again.

1) Make a backup of all your sdcard files in your computer because partitioning will erase all your files.

2)Now boot in recovery --> partition sdcard --> partition sdcard --> Swap size: 0mb --> Choose size of the partition that you prefer (recommended 1024mb)(not more than 1399 mb because beta 04 supports till that only)

Let it partition your sd without any error !!

[NOTE: If you are partitioning for the 1st time with recovery, the default type of the partition will be ext2 - that is what we need & with this a2sd will work :D.
If you have mistakenly upgraded your partition to ext3 or ext4, then use MiniTool Partition Wizard (its free) and change your partition to ext2. Only then a2sd will work.]

Now boot normally. Now with the help of A2SD GUI app, make apps to be stored in sdcard(will be on the main-screen!). Your phone will reboot once or few times. Read more about using A2SD GUI in the following 2nd or 3rd post !!

VOILA !! a2sd is working !!! You can verify/view its space with titanium backup app !!

Now you can place all your files back on your sdcard.

With recovery you can even backup your sd-ext whenever required. (sd-ext is the place where apps which you install will be stored)

NOTE:
-The android version displayed there (in Bala's ROM v1.01&v1.5) is just change in number. The actual version is 2.3.4 only !! Only you know that it is 2.3.4. For others it is 2.3.7 !!:D:D


USING A2SD GUI [For v1.5+]


'A2SD settings' on the app's main screen.
------You can choose where apps that you install should be saved either in sd-ext (sdcard partition) or your internal memory.


------ 'Zipalign on boot is off' - is recommended because the ROM is already zipaligned and doing it again on boot will take more time to boot.

------'Swap is deactivated' - I have not used it.....maybe you/anyone can try and reply !

DALVIK:
-- You can choose where Dalvik cache should be saved. Go more info on Dalvik-cache, try googling n reading the wiki about it.Other things can remain the same......

---other tabs, you yourself can read & understand !!

Some more:

One thing to remember - sd-ext is like internal memory for phone, but phone can't find how much space is used or left in sd-ext. Titanium backup will help you there......



All third-party/system apps will tell that apps are installed in phone memory......you should understand that sd-ext is also like internal memory for phone and all other apps !!

Apps should be installed normally .......but your free space in internal memory will remain the same even after installing apps.....you'll notice that ur sd-ext space will be reducing........
Phone can't find how much space is left in sd-ext but titanium backup will help you to know !!

If you find decrease in phone memory even when a2sd in enabled, use a2sd gui to reinstall all app to sd-ext.....u can also type this command in terminal emulator :

su
a2sd reinstall


More over one should not move apps to sdcard in 'application settings' when using a2sd !!

DeOdexing is the process of re-bundling that uncompressed critical data (.odex files) back into your compressed .apk (& .jar) files, so that now all of the data is included in the .apk files necessary to run your applications without the presence of .odex files
In addition all the data is now included within the .jar files necessary to utilize your framework components without .odex files. In a DeOdexed file structure, there are no odex files present.

What is the benefit of DeOdexing?
Deodexing doesn't speed your phone up or do anything of the sort.
It is simply something that is necessary to be able to theme a stock ROM.
Theoratically it should slowdown phone but practically it is negligible.

zipaliging is the process of reorganizing the manner in which the .apk is packaged to optimized it for being parsed faster by the android OS, it is comparable if not better than the odex file structure, so you get the best of both worlds; a themed ROM and the speed of an optimized file structure.

If one can implement all things properly phone will defenately speed up.

i will also make custom rom... but in my vacation. till i will use others.

aN Can You Please Explain Dodexing In Simple Words

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

edit: already posted the ans !! any way i'm posting it !!

Harassing ?? Not at all !! i have no problem dude !! :D:D

Well, i don't think flashing will affect your phone because i'll have to do it many a times a day and not just 4 times !!
When ever i try and flash my ROM and many a time it'll get struck at boot screen. So i'll be restoring/flashing it many a times a day ! :D
Still thats my view.....i dunno really ! :D

Deodexing.........in simple terms it is like this:
Our phone splits the apks and jars (only system apks and jars) into '.odex' files for fast processing of those files ..........but when the app is split into .apk/.jar file and .odex file, it not possible to edit them and make changes. when those files are deodexed or when we flash a deodexed ROM, the two files, '.odex' file and '.apk/.jar' are combined together and we will have only the apk or jar file and not the .odex file.......hence it makes editing or modifying possible. Also,only because of this, deodexed ROM takes some more time to boot!! :D

So because of this we can say that it related to theming........that too 'native' theme and not just Launcher' theming which are provided by GO Launcher etc.

I hope you understand...........!! Now any one can easily make themes for our phone !! just edit framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk, modify,test and upload !!:)

    My sincere credits to Yuweng & casacristo for being with me in trying to make a2sd work in MTK phones !!

    Pre-requisites:
    For your Computer:
    - 7zip

    For your phone:
    -Rooted, of course !

    -Make a nandroid recovery of your phone before installing.
    -Full wipe/factory reset, either through phone or modded recovery is recommended required.

    SilverLight™ 5 - alpha !​

    Hi friends, sorry i'm too late than i expected. Day's passed on swiftly and i'm here to just release the alpha of Silverlight 5.


    SilverLight 5 bug fixes are here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30734779#post30734779

    Important feature is that it is based on Android 2.3.6 !

    It has been ported from Alcated 918D [MTK 6573]

    Everything works fine. (Special thanks to yasir bro for testing it !!!)

    I also named it as Stock Android 2.3.6 update for Spice Mi-350n.

    It is just stock, for now :(

    Another important thing is that, I'm making this port an open-source port. Since, i saw new rom makers emerging, it would be easy for them to cook/build custom ROMs from this port.

    One thing, if someone wants to use it, do give me an information and a credit in your thread !! :D

    Sorry, if i have disappointed you, but full version will be released as soon as possible.

    Whats more to come:

    • Suspense !


    You can even come to the time when i ported this one and how i suffered from there on without time to add features, in the download page !!

    FROM HERE, ALL DOWNLOADS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR GOOGLE CODE PAGE:

    http://code.google.com/p/silverlight-roms-350n/
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse



    In the downloads page, download

    First flash a2sd-p1.zip and then flash 2.3.6-update.zip.

    NOTE: Flash Dark-tremor a2sd and any equivalent if you want to use it.

    SilverLight™ 3


    Features:
    >> Based on Official Spice build v2 !(thanks to yasir bro!!)
    -- If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5/1.01(or did not flash your phone by following this guide), then do please flash your phone with official build v2 using this guide. It takes a mere 7 minutes for you to flash it but it takes hours together for me to make one for v1.5. If you want, i can make one for v1.5 also, but it can't be released within one week. So, bear with me & do upgrade your phone to official v2 !!!

    NOTE1: If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5, then you won't lose your apps. Just flash official v2 with the help of flashing tutorial and the flash SilverLight 3 !

    NOTE2 (read this only after reading the flashing guide above): If you are upgrading, then in the flashing guide linked above, in step 5, i did it like & it worked : After loading the scatter file, with battery inserted,i connected the phone by pressing Back+Menu buttons. My pc detected it and i clicked Format->Download. I kept holding it till the red process completed and from there everything went fine and flashing was successful.

    Installation Instructions (SL-v3):


    NOTE: Its is highly recommended to make a complete nandroid backup(including boot.img) before installing. Do not boot your phone in between.

    Also disable Signature verification every time you flash a zip because they are not signed.

    1) Download 'SilverLight-3_by_balamu96m.7z'. Extract it. Then you'll have SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip , SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip & SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip(These are flashable zips. So do not extract them)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    2) Copy all the three & place it in your sdcard. (preferably at the root).
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    3) Now boot into recovery (modded or CWM) and choose - flash zip from sdcard --> select zip from sdcard --> select SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip.
    Let it install without any error. DO NOT TRY BOOTING.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    4) Now, before installing SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip, mount 'System' & 'Data' in recovery (i.e) mounts --> system and then data. Now install SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip by steps followed above !. DO NOT TRY BOOTING.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    4) Again, with similar steps followed before, SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    5) After installing SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip, a do a full wipe/Factory reset in the recovery. (It is a must)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    THATS ALL !! You have successfully installed SilverLight™ 3 !!
    Now boot your phone. First boot may take long time (even 10 minutes !), but don't worry. It will boot !!


    STEPS TO ENABLE A2SD after installing the ROM:




    NOTE: If you had done this already for Bala's ROM v1.5, no need to do again.

    1) Make a backup of all your sdcard files in your computer because partitioning will erase all your files.

    2)Now boot in recovery --> partition sdcard --> partition sdcard --> Swap size: 0mb --> Choose size of the partition that you prefer (recommended 1024mb)(not more than 1399 mb because beta 04 supports till that only)

    Let it partition your sd without any error !!

    [NOTE: If you are partitioning for the 1st time with recovery, the default type of the partition will be ext2 - that is what we need & with this a2sd will work :D.
    If you have mistakenly upgraded your partition to ext3 or ext4, then use MiniTool Partition Wizard (its free) and change your partition to ext2. Only then a2sd will work.]

    Now boot normally. Now with the help of A2SD GUI app, make apps to be stored in sdcard(will be on the main-screen!). Your phone will reboot once or few times. Read more about using A2SD GUI in the following 2nd or 3rd post !!

    VOILA !! a2sd is working !!! You can verify/view its space with titanium backup app !!

    Now you can place all your files back on your sdcard.

    With recovery you can even backup your sd-ext whenever required. (sd-ext is the place where apps which you install will be stored)

    NOTE:
    -The android version displayed there (in Bala's ROM v1.01&v1.5) is just change in number. The actual version is 2.3.4 only !! Only you know that it is 2.3.4. For others it is 2.3.7 !!:D:D


    USING A2SD GUI [For v1.5+]


    'A2SD settings' on the app's main screen.
    ------You can choose where apps that you install should be saved either in sd-ext (sdcard partition) or your internal memory.


    ------ 'Zipalign on boot is off' - is recommended because the ROM is already zipaligned and doing it again on boot will take more time to boot.

    ------'Swap is deactivated' - I have not used it.....maybe you/anyone can try and reply !

    DALVIK:
    -- You can choose where Dalvik cache should be saved. Go more info on Dalvik-cache, try googling n reading the wiki about it.Other things can remain the same......

    ---other tabs, you yourself can read & understand !!

    Some more:

    One thing to remember - sd-ext is like internal memory for phone, but phone can't find how much space is used or left in sd-ext. Titanium backup will help you there......



    All third-party/system apps will tell that apps are installed in phone memory......you should understand that sd-ext is also like internal memory for phone and all other apps !!

    Apps should be installed normally .......but your free space in internal memory will remain the same even after installing apps.....you'll notice that ur sd-ext space will be reducing........
    Phone can't find how much space is left in sd-ext but titanium backup will help you to know !!

    If you find decrease in phone memory even when a2sd in enabled, use a2sd gui to reinstall all app to sd-ext.....u can also type this command in terminal emulator :

    su
    a2sd reinstall


    More over one should not move apps to sdcard in 'application settings' when using a2sd !!

    im also Facing The Same Problem...!!!

    It also Says "OUT OF MEMORY"     :confused:
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse


    for out of memory fix, do this:

    After installing the ROM, install Terminal Emulator app from market.
    Open the app and type the following one by one:

    su
    a2sd install

    ##Phone will reboot

    Open the app again,

    su
    a2sd datasd

    ##Phone will reboot

    Open the app again,

    su
    a2sd cachesd

    ##Phone will reboot.





    Memory problem should be fixed.

    For launcher problem, download & flash the attached .zip ! (it is unsigned, you need to disable signature verification)


    Please report me, if you find any other bug. Of course, thanks for reporting these bugs!
