Guest matrakio Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 1 gb of that 1,6 gb backup is of the file .android_secure.img Upload only system.img and boot.img inside a zip. I'm uploading system.img and boot.img inside a zip to dropbox aprox ~245 mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JackRackham Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 yes, I were with b936, good and loud enough just like b936. Well, thanks a lot for the info, let's hope a clean stock update.app shows up somehow! I'm downloading the repack because I wanna checkout some stuff, maybe we can apply a patch to actual B952... I'll keep you guys informed on any progress! -- JackRackham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JackRackham Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looking for something, I found something else... I usually hook up my phones to my car stereo line in to use it as a media player or with turn-by-turn navigation. With my G300 I have a problem: the output seems to have a very strong echo. I managed to solve the problem disabling the DTS feature in the Audio section. Looking in the B952 build.prop file I noticed these strings: ro.config.hw_dts=true ro.config.hw_dtsmode=true ro.config.hw_music_dts=false I played with different true/false combinations... with everything set to false I noticed a little increase in ringtones volume, but that might be placebo effect... Then I looked into the B960 build.prop file, and I noticed that those strings are not even there, so Vodafone and/or Huawei decided that are not useful! Result: commenting or deleting those 3 strings on B952 actually disable the DTS option in the Audio section, permanently solving the "echo" problem for me Anyone wants to experiment with that and confirm/deny the increase in volume? But warning, as I said, I might be wrong! :) -- JackRackham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JackRackham Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Ok guys, I think I got some working results to show off! :) If different builds behave differently about ringtones volumes, the issue must be software related. So I downloaded CWM repacks of B936 (reported to have loud ringtones), B952 Vodafone and B960 Vodafone (also reported to have loud ringtones) I went looking into the build.prop files and compared them with my B952 General Version and I found out that my version has some missing strings. The one that caught my attention was: ro.config.ringtone_vol_adjust=true I added this string to my build.prop file and changed "true" to "false" (without quotes!), did a reboot and that's it, louder volumes!!! This time the difference is more evident just by using your ears, but I did some recording tests (nothing too scientific, but still gave evidence!) The test was made by recording the same ringtones / alarms / notifications sounds with both true and false options, with the phone speaker placed 5 cm from a microphone using Audacity. In every screenshot you will find both Waveform and Spectrogram views. The volume gain seems more evident when using a ringtone, but something also happens to alarms and notifications. Please, try this one and let me what you think about it! These are my results: RINGTONE NOTIFICATION ALARM -- JackRackham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest unaszplodrmann Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Nice one, Jack :) Just had a look at B960 in comparison to B952; there are changes to audio libs and the libbcc JIT library, and the kernel is also different. aapt reckons all the APK versions are the same.

I see some Huawei apps with newer versions in B952. Gapps are newer in B960, as indicated by build.prop.

Which B952 version are you comparing with? I compared with the 'WW' release and the badge dumps are identical to B960. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared with the 'WW' release and the badge dumps are identical to B960. I'm comparing to the International version V100R001C00B952. I downloaded the update.app from Huawei site, unpacked it and extracted the system.img. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unaszplodrmann Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I was actually looking at another B952 CWM repack, when I thought I was looking at the international (WW) version - I need to cleanup these folders of unpacked roms ;) So it seems that there at least 2 different versions of B952. I see the same differences as you looking comparing the WW CWM repack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cyda Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) So it seems that there at least 2 different versions of B952. Ones a ota/imagedump Vodafone release and one an official Huawei release, they were a month or so apart if I remember right.

Guest mngt13 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Good day. 1- Is there an update zip off this ROM from those two images? 2- And would it have all Vodafone PT APPS for the guarantee?
