Guest senupe Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hello guys, sorry because i never said thank you because you helped me to Flash my phone and now it works, Thanks Equilym and GuyOverThere that was awesome. The only Rom i got working was a racer boy one, and the lock screen it's weird behaving and games crash often. I was wondering if you could tell me about one Rom wich it's good enough for games, i tried optimized Temple Run to ARM11 (armV6) but it crashes, just like Agent Dash. Also i wanna know why my phone does not work well with the Equilym Roms, i tried all of them, and on every one my camera app crashes and shows the message "the device could't connect to the camera" i must clear that i always delete the cache before installing a new Rom. Thank you again for all the help, because of you guys i resurrected my phone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glock24 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) It seems there are several different camera models on the Racer phones. Jut like yours, mine does not work with vamshi's kernel, but it does work with deadlink's, as it seems to have the required drivers. But even with deadlink's kernel, the camera works at 2MP instead of 3.2MP, and the image quality is not very good. Only with the original (stock) ROM did the camera work at 3.2MP. You can find the DL link for deadlink's kernel in the first post of this thread. Edited September 27, 2012 by Glock24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest equiliym Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 there are few camera models ie racer variants, i think brazil and not sure which ones have a different hardware camera so the drivers are different.. as for 3.2MP issue, i really dont see the difference on stock and custom rom regarding it, not sure how you even compare.. it has a crappy lense so pictures are crap any way you turn it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GuyOverThere Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) lol yeah that's true, damn lense T_T also yes, brazil is definitely one with different hardware, not sure which is which though :-\ deadlink defines 3: MT9T11X, MT9D115 and MT9D113.

Guest Kyrii Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) ZTE Racer in brazil have a 2.0 camera :/ The gen is set while in menuconfig, you go to System type -> MSM Board Selection, there you should see a prompt called ZTE Mooncake GEN with two possible options: Gen1 and Gen2, Gen1 is selected by default. As far as msm_ts goes, I'm not gonna lie, is a pain in the ass because a huge lack of documentation so there's not much I can't tell you about it (I don't know it myself) strictly to "editing" you use any text editor. What I can tell you however is that msm_ts.c is based on a very general msm_ts.c from vamshi's sources, however is not vamshi's driver (he didn't put it in his github, don't know why) and it doesn't have perfect calibration. I have a driver with "perfect" calibration (where you touch that's where the point is marked) but due to sensitivity issues or some weird IRQ thing it has many ghost clicks so I haven't upload it, I'm still trying to fix that. Regarding camera, the models supported are defined in arch/arm/mach-msm/board-mooncake.c I don't know what you have so I can't say much, however board-mooncake.c is based on deadlink's sources which is the one I found to have more devices supported. So just build ? And touch calibration is good ?And i cannot put deadlinks touch calibration ? :( Edited September 27, 2012 by Kyrii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GuyOverThere Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) ZTE Racer in brazil have a 2.0 camera :/ So just build ? Pretty much just build, yeah (using the defconfig specified on github, the make calls and all that). Touch calibration good? I really really think that if you're interested on calibration you better stick with current kernels (vamshi or deadlink), the msm_ts.c in my github repo isn't the most stable yet, sometimes is jumpy and needs calibration improvements. Also, in some devices can be worse than others it seems. And i cannot put deadlinks touch calibration ? To do that you'll need to change board-mooncake.c and what changes to make depends on what version of deadlink's msm_ts.c driver you use; he posted several, all different, there's one where he uses stock values from tslib (pointercal file on stock roms) for axis X and Y and this will require you to set max_x:329 and max_y:239 on board-mooncake, other version uses offsets he got from Tigex and that will require max_x:850 and max_y:900 or something like that, similar to the ones vamshi used in his versions of board-mooncake. Also, there's a version of deadlink's driver with multi-touch-like hacks which requires you to messing with virtualkeys.msm-touchscreen, you also need to define the correct values for the keypad to work (home, menu, back keys) and either change synaptics-i2c-rmi.c or msm_ts.c to report evbit events for home, menu and back keys. Yeah, I know, all this quirks are a pain and the reason why msm_ts.c sucks xD Edited September 27, 2012 by GuyOverThere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kyrii Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I will build it in the weekend :/ And touch calibration changes, can you give-me the documentation ? And the deadlink's msm_ts.c too ? So, I will test the Racerboy Rom #257, this rom the camera works, a good touch , have VAMSHI kernel (i think) and have Smartassv2. That's what i want I will download and catch the boot.img, zip, format boot and install, will it work ? :/ Edited September 28, 2012 by Kyrii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GuyOverThere Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 And touch calibration changes, can you give-me the documentation ? There's none, that's precisely the problem with calibration and other things related to zte kernel And the deadlink's msm_ts.c too ? You can grab two made by him from his repo, msm_ts.c is a pretty generic version without the default virtualkeys implementation and msm_ts_racer.c is a modified version but nothing big, the other ones are in posts in this forums, don't have them at hand right now, check his posts and you'll find them. I will download and catch the boot.img, zip, format boot and install, will it work ? :/ Not sure I understand what you mean, if you're talking about getting the boot.img from racerboy's #257 rom and using that boot.img in other roms, yes you can. If you mean compiling your kernel, creating a boot.img and flashing it in racerboy's #257 then you can do that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should'nt be problematic, with 7zip or winrar you open the rom, extract boot.img file then open the other rom you want to put the boot.img file in, remove the boot.img from that rom and add the boot.img you extracted from racerboy's rom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there was a touchscreen issue, nobody really sure where the problem came from, some though it was kernel related (msm_ts needs modification, new qualcomm drivers require genlock which isn't available in 2.6.32.9...) some also though that perphaps it was something else, libinput or the like... anyway, of all the things not working on ICS you had to add up the touchscreen. Now, something you should understand is this: with 2.3 (and early ICS tests) there were Chinese people working on kernel, libs, etc; there were also the Russians, Indians, quite a few here at modaco tilal, racerboy, tigex, rickywatt, equilyim, t0mmb13... all this people was thinkering and hacking away... and now THERE'S NO ONE! xD well equilyim is still around and racerboy makes appearances now and then but that's it, this basically means there's a huge lack of personal and knowledge to test, debug, modify, compile, port.... add all this up and you have less than 10 persons who owns this phone from which only 2 at most can do any kind of thinkering with sources, compilation, and the like and from those 2 I'm counting me in which is worse because I'm not a developer!!!!!! xD Equilyim might give you more insight on how 2.3 came to racer and what went wrong with ICS since all I've gattered have been the product of spending countless hours reading through a lot of posts in different forums, googlegroups logs, mail list and google searches so I might be wrong in a few things. So things like why we had libraries for 2.3, qualcomm released TS drivers and the like don't matter much, the possibility to getting ICS on Racer is slim to none.

I installed Lewa ROM because i wanted to test the performance in games, when it booted up i wanted to test the camera, (because the only ROM properly recognizing it it's RacerBoy one) i followed the instructions about installed Deadlinks Kernel because it got the proper driver, but then the phone just hangs on eternal loop and the only way to restore it i'ts installing the ROM all over again =/ Please help, i don't know what to do now =S PD: I know i'm a noobie (sorry, i study a health related carrer so i know nothing about programming and can't help you very much in the threat =/) I made to show you what happens.
