JoyOS 1.2.4

CM7.2 ROM based

*0.1 current version*

Before ROM install:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe dalvik Cache

* Versions of CM 7.2 could be compatible but not tested*

*Based on UK Android 2.1 partition layout*

ROM is based on Huawei C8650 JoyOS 1.2.4 version with kernel and structure from CM 7.2

ROM is UltraFast and snappy!!!
For swap create 3rd SD Card partition, size as needed - not thorougly tested built in (build.prop+/system/app version)
Min recommended 64 Mb (swappiness 40-60)-tested with 3rd partition+Swapper2


Working

Data (2G/3G)
GPS (fast positioning, in new version gps.conf edit for EU users)
Bluetooth
Camera (Video/Cam) - faster than on 1.2.2 - CameraZOOMFX working great
Hardware buttons (even the camera)
Working recovery shortcut from power menu (reboot/recovery)
OC to 748 Mhz (standby 2 days+2 hours usage on 691 Mhz)
NO ROTATE BUG




Not Working

Nothing known (some JoyOS apps still in porting-Dialer, Contacts) - use exDialer from market instead

*Wifi -  I think the problem is related due to kernel (boot.img) which doesn't initiate right (build.prop), some users reported OK wifi on 1.2.2 version - PLEASE TEST AND POST!
Confirmed - WiFi was kernel related


Changelog:


19 11 2012 - Version 0.1 - alpha
Framework and system apps from Huawei C8650 MDPI device


/system/app
*included apps*


JoyOS bundle apps - all functional (except FM-FC, removed from ROM), stock Dialer and Contacts, JoyOS FC's-still checking
iPhone notifications
MiFile explorer (MIUI port)
Market (working, 2.3 version)
Link2SD works (tried data2ext, mount2sd and A2SD DT  - doesn't apply apps or dalvik to /sd-ext after enabling)
Multiling keyboard
GOBackup 2.4
SuperUser
DPI 160 (was 140, strange display, some artefacts)

[Domica]

Kernel (boot.img) is CM 7.2 OC from this site (bare version), tried changing eth0->wlan0 through build.prop but unsuccessfuly.

I will check the music player and we can exchange it for MIUI ported.
Cannot take video? Well, I've tried and no problem (currently taking video without any problems). What base ROM are you using? (100 Mb system is needed, check free space on system)

Thanks a lot...

It works, WiFi resolved!!! I will upload a flashable boot.img in the next 30 minutes.

[Domica]

A flashable BOOT.IMG uploaded, all WiFi related works.

[GUIDE] Increase RAM using Swap File and Swap Partition

http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1659231
do all the how to but don't do last part:

Advanced preferences: (for Kernels that supports swap partition only)
Use swap partition (put a check)
Swap partition: /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

don't do the last part and to stay safe just use ext3...

Thanks for the insight and quick guide.

Swap should be used already (setup through build.prop, quick reminder I must check the swap partition on /dev) on this ROM.

hi could you explain me how to change the buil.prop swap command line to use them on cm7 ?thank you

to check if swap if already working on your rom port... run terminal emulator....type su, then type free it will show if swap is uses or not...
i am actually testing a file who make minimum brightness use(saving battery).i am not sure but i think that brightness is set to minimum 20 per cent...with that file the minimum brightness use will be reduce to 10 percent.

[Moskito204]

i would like a little explanation how to flash the boot img :/

just a topic list. i just dont want to make a mess :/

thanks and good work

[Domica]

Easy, just enter recovery (from android reboot->key combination power+menu+call end button)
Choose Install zip from sd card->file name of the boot zip.

Thats it.

Launcher, file manageer, dialler and gallery in 1.2.2 better than in this rom

[Moskito204]

i like the launcher, between this and the iphonish , a prefer this one.

Just a bug (i think) in contacts, some of them show a yellow picture above the contact, looks ugly :/

but, every thing else that a test until now, looks very nice

thanks

Thanks for testing, dialer and contacts currently in porting, you can try exDialer (will be included, system partition is 100 MB so it will be included in /data/app partition in rom update). Gallery will also be replaced, currently in testing: quickpic (previous /system/app problems), ultra gallery (most iphone like) and mediagrid (simple and fast gallery, basic).

File manager will be (although not iphone like, but packed with features) X-plore file manager.
