Xiaocai X9 - Updated. Root info. Benchmarks etc.

[Guest Arnie-75]

As far as I know there are only two ROMs, that's the THL 100 linked in the first post and the stock ROM.

[Guest Frankish]

Glad that is working ok for you. I only did a little work on the w100 port Ludoo did the major work on the initial port so i can't take the credit. I just tweaked it.

I won't update it really unless there is a major bug to fix. I think maybe GPS in maps might not be working too well!

Why do you think so? Is there anything I can do to fix this? So far I think it works quite good.

EDIT: Just tested again and indeed it's searching it's position for some minutes now....

Using a file explorer with root capabilities (i use es file explorer) try deleting gps.conf from /system/etc/. I think this is the issue. Then try redownloading EPO data etc then try maps. See if it gets a fix?

[Guest Arnie-75]

Deleted it. Is it OK that this file does not reappear even after downloading EPO data agin? It's gone, even after restarteing. I got a fix after restarting, but that's what I got some time before deleting gps.conf.

[Guest Frankish]

It doesn't really need the gps.conf and it's working for me now i've deleted it too. Got a fix really quickly. The only reason i added it was to try and get an even quicker fix but it only seems to work for a bit then dies.

I'll remove the gps.conf from my rom and re-upload as soon as i can.

[Guest Arnie-75]

OK, thanks.

[Guest Arnie-75]

Could you please write a message here when you have deleted the files and updated your image? I would like re-download it and save it as a backup then.

[Guest Frankish]

Here you go this is without the gps.conf. V1.1.

I was wondering this too but I think he either got stuck with the dialer issue he had or he is just plain busy with the real world!

Hi

I couldn't be sure what languages are included as i only ever use English i can check for you though?

Lot's of languages included in the shipped 1.03 rom.

The 1.05 is English and Chinese only.

[Guest peter0010]

yea thanks but i meant your linked version of 1.03 ( not the pre installed )

 

 

i've just tested it - this 1.03  version has only chinese and english inside

[Guest Frankish]

I wonder why? That's strange I guess it's some changes they made when they add play store etc. I still have a backup of my stock rom.

[Guest peter0010]

I just remapped the middle button in between the volume keys to camera shutter.

 

If you want you could include those files in your rom (probably better than a useless button ;))

 

You could also Change Key 164 in both of the files with a different action

the files are located in /system/usr/keylayout permission as always 644 and owner root:root

 

Long press opens the camera, press in camera app takes a picture

[Guest Arnie-75]

How did you do this? Can I install this on a running THL 100 ROM?

[Guest peter0010]

Yes, it was tested with the W100 Port from Frankish. (Just to be sure make a backup ;))

 

I just installed a KeyTest.apk looked for the scancode of that button and edited the 2 files ;)

 

 

@Frankish you dont happen to know how to activate the haptic feedback for the softkeys (home, menu, back)?

Edited September 26, 2013 by peter0010

[Guest Arnie-75]

Thanks, works great!

[Guest Frankish]

Peter it seems to be a bug as I can't enable them to vibrate! I've never noticed as I usually turn it off. Hmm..

[Guest Arnie-75]

Frankish, I woild also appreciate if you could include the camera button to your image.

[Guest Frankish]

If I go changing it to camera someone will want me to change it to music again and then someone will want it for messaging etc. I will possibly upload multiple different ones in a flash able zip format so people can make their own minds up on what it does.

[Guest Arnie-75]

That might be true. On the other hand the middle key currently has no function at all, so any function included might be better than nothing.

[Guest Frankish]

Ahh it is default music player but I forgot to add the function as it is a W100 port.
