Aurora ICS 4.03 port issues list.

Firstly, a big thanks to fellow kiwi developer "dzo" for this great port!
Official dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957
I'm unable to post in the dev section until I have 10 posts, so I thought I would start an issues thread here for people who also haven't made 10 posts yet.
***IF YOU DO HAVE AN ISSUE YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST ABOUT, IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO INCLUDE KERNEL AND ROM DETAILS***
e.g. Official 2.3.5 B522 as base, Aurora ICS version 1.6, used 5.5.0.4 Recovery
CURRENT TESTING VERSION - 1.8
Issues:
-Sound from the speaker is scratchy and distorted, everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications.
-The volume from the speaker is too loud on the lowest volume setting.
-Product name/model needs to be changed from 'msm7630_surf' to 'Huawei u8800' in build.prop
-SD card sometimes doesn't mount (requires restart to mount)
-No panorama mode in camera. ---stock camera app
-Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes).
-Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions.
-Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode. ---stock camera app
Notes:
I used the B522 official Huawei 2.3.5 as base, and then loaded version 1.6 over top of that using Recovery 5.5.0.4.
Archived Issues:
-The lights on the backlit keys don't work all the time, even when it's dark. [It appears this is by design. Use auto-brightness for the keys to light automatically.]
-Mobile Networks --> Network Operators is unable to search for networks (both automatically and manually). It says "Error While Searching for Networks". [Seems to have been fixed with 1.8]
-UI is generally quite laggy across the whole system [Seems a lot better with 1.8]
-It probably needs a "file explorer app" installed as stock so you don't have to manually transfer one via USB. [ES File Explorer added in version 1.8]
-Red border appears momentarily on occasion (usually when a sound is playing - also happens when unlock pin code is being entered) [Hasn't happened with version 1.8]
-Playback of music tracks does not automatically go to next track after previous track is finished. ---beyond pod; stock music player [Fixed in version 1.8]

Version 1.6?
some people are complaining about slow Internet connection.. do you note that issue?

I've only just loaded ICS on during the last few hours, so haven't had time to thoroughly test internet/browser. Will do eventually though.
The Ookla Speedtest app seemed to have good speeds. Although the upload speed seemed a little "out". It was up around the 1.7-1.8Mbps mark, when I know my upload speed is capped at 1.0Mbps.
Also, the mini graphs that show the upload and download speeds underneath the main "meter" was showing a weird streaky white block instead of the usual line graph. I wonder if others could test this too and report back.
I can add "slow internet" to the OP issue list if you like?
Can you explain it a little more for clarity?
Cheers.

i cant use any camera app, but stock one works just fine

Ookla Speedtest app gives me 100kbit/s down on a 2mbit/s internet connection.
When I press at the wifi it shows link speed 6Mbps.
Edit: speed ok after changing router

Great idea, I too have some issues I'd like to report but I'm unable due to the 10 posts limitations. Hopefully someone w/ access will bring this link to dzo's attention.
So far, the ones I think weren't reported yet:
No panorama mode in camera;
Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes);
Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions;
Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode;
Some background noise everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications;
That seems to be it, will add more as I find them.

It hasn't yet appeared on SourceFroge yet, but will testing it as soon as it's up to see if any of these issues have been addressed.
Indeed, dzo is a legend!!
Also, he probably does sleep, it's just that he sleeps when most of the rest of the world is awake... being that he is from New Zealand. ;-)

Nope, unfortunately not for me yet.
SourceForge is being a bit buggy for some people at the moment (including me). Others on the main Aurora thread have said that 1.7 has appeared on SourceForge for them, but for others it hasn't yet.
Waiting... waiting.... ;-)
EDIT: It appeared for me momentarily on SourceForge, but when I went to click to download it said the file was unavailable to download. dzo has just uploaded it to Google Code, so downloading now.

Sourceforge was with a strange behavior, but now seems to be fine.
Try now, I'm sure now you can

1.8 is out.
I actually went back to stock B522 for the moment, as I just found the 1.7 UI too laggy, but I might load 1.8 on now.

OK, installed 1.8 yesterday and I don't know if it is the ROM, or if I did something different to install it, but it appears to be running a lot smoother UI wise.
Sound from the speaker is still terrible though. It sounds to me like it could be a sampling rate incompatibility.

It's really weird because sound is only distorted when played through that back-speaker.
Ringtones are awfull, full of cracks and distortion... and always with hiss background noise.
This is a common problem on all those .35 custom rom's

hey guys,
ive a question about porting, im using a u9000 variant, similar hardware and on the u9000 forum w have devs that successfully port u8800 roms.. my question is, since u8800 roms are portable, may i know what is required for u guys before flashing to aurora ics? ie what kernel were u on before the flash? thanks for the help!

Aurora needs to flash on 2.3.5 stock roms. Stock .35 kernel required.

i have 2.3.5 firmware with stock 2.6.35.7 kernel. however i think due to difference in device and the port, it may not be possible.
mine is u9000 with MSM8225 chipset 2.3.5 firmware n .6.35.7 kernel
aurora is built for u8800 with MSM7230 chipset, similar firmware and kernel
however u8860, the source that aurora used, is with MSM8255 chipset, not sure about firmware and kernel.
read somewhere that ports are device specific, so to get it working on u9000, id have to port from aurora, and fix whatever that doesnt work.. correct me if i am wrong.. dev/porters please advise!
thanks!

Problem with On Demand TV apps
I have a real niggle at the moment where I cannot use the BBC iPlayer, the ITV Player or the 4OD apps. The apps work and provide the ability to select programmes to watch but each fails to play video and audio (sometimes e.g. iPlayer there is broken/distorted audio).
I have noted that there are a few similar reports on maclaw.pl from other rom users.
In earlier versions of the ROM these apps did work, but I cannot recall which. I am currently using 11-20140318-UNOFFICIAL-golden.
I used to get lots of reboots but after installing this ROM and doing a factory reset these have stopped. This version for me is incredibly stable and works well except for this issue.
Can this be resolved?

Maybe the problem with audio driver ..
Just a suggestion try to backup your rom then un install dspmanager and flash acid audio engine with clear audio + addon and see if it is solved .. if not just restore your rom again .... ( just for trying)
I was using it with my wonder and now use it with s3 mini and work good

Yeah thanks for that never thought of that will try that later ....... BTW jus asking what's the latest version of the rom? Is there an update for it?

Z1 LolliPoP Review

after a long wait for lollipop (i mean after release)
a few days ago i created Pre rooted fw with PRF Creator and flashed it without wipe data
before that i had 157 rooted and my bootloader was unlocked and didn't had any TA backups
and now here is my small review
1-the UI and Animations are lovely i really love the new animations new lockscreen is defenetly better than the old one specialy with analog clock!
2-speed is increased (i kept all my data and apps) but it boots up faster,open apps faster,and more importantly the Previous apps stays open for longer time (on kit kat i was able to open 4-5 apps multitask between them now on LP i opened 6-7 apps and multi tasked between them)
3-THE SOUND!!
the hot thing about LP!
the speaker sound is less than KK which is bad very bad!on headphones i tried on stock MH750 and philips citiescape .....on first boot sound was flat..flat as paper!!no basses at all!
but on second boot everything went back to normal!
i didn't use any sound mod on KK it was clear enough for me and now its as good as it was
4-camera real time iso caused lag on it but overall the colors in pics are better now( i used drm hack Bionz is working just ok)
it boots faster now
5-back on Kk it had some delay to wake up but now it wakes up before you even know you pushed it
6-i've included the smart backlight and smart rotation and 4k in my zip they all work ok now i hardly suggest you to install them!
thats all that came to my head right now
thanks for reading

Awesome!
Good to know they are aware of the sound and brightness issues.

great post, thanks mate

It's good that they mention the sound in games, but what about the sound issues over A2DP and at times out of the headphone jack? Hope they are aware of them as separate issues.

I have a feeling that the problem with stereo Bluetooth might be different, but I'll be very happy indeed if I'm wrong.
I have limited data each month so I'll have to wait until Friday when Xiaomi.EU release their multi language ROM.

Does the screen support it? I know the SoC does, in theory (it also supports MHL but were not going to get that).
If you install a third party launcher like Nova, you can add a shortcut to the home screen via activities that will let you get to a more default looking version of settings. In there you will find a setting to enable double tap to wake, but of course enabling it doesn't work.

Gesture support is not enabled in redmi note 2 kernel that is why it does not work and MIUI has not released kernel source yet.
Users requested for this feature on en.miui.com (worst forum i have ever experianced)
will wait and see.....

One critical bug:
Apps from Google play store can't be installed without WLAN.
I try to explain it with my limited English.... When trying to download the app, the popup appears telling something like; the file is very big, do you want to install it with WiFi or not. Answering I DO NOT want to use WiFi, the download bar appears with text; waiting for WiFi connection.
So, without WiFi the phone is useless because this bug.
I have 150Mb LTE but cannot install anything
I live in Finland and I have to get overseas data roaming checked to get data connection (LTE) working.

Now when in here...Does anyone know how to tell the phone it is in Finland now? I really dont want to use overseas tethering to get mobile data working.

Today's multi language ROM from xiaomi.EU seems to fix some bugs. I think stereo Bluetooth is stutter free now, though the quality of audio seems to have deteriorated (if you see what I mean). Sound in Dead Space is as bad as ever. Epic Citadel seems better.

Hi, I have the same problem in MIUI 66.66.74.00 but the catch is that i wont' see any "download" app if the vendor has deleted it by mistake how could I get it?
thanks Alberto

9/28/15 Performance Update build 7SRA- UEA2

Hi everyone! Seems like Alcatel has released yet again, another performance update! This new update, build number 7SRA-UEA2 has the following changes:
General Performance Improvement: Overall software enhancements aimed at improving device responsiveness and overall user experience
IPv6 Support: Device now fully supports the Internet Protocol version to IPv6
Snapchat Performance Fix: Addresses crash issue when using Snapchat app that arose when users would swipe while selecting filters
Facebook Messenger Performance Fix: Users can now share recorded audio files via Facebook Messenger
Camera FV-5 Lite Application Fix: Fix that addresses the rear-facing camera functionality when using the Camera FV-5 Lite application
Also, Band 12 LTE is still enabled after this update. I can also confirm that the filters/crashing issues with Snapchat are indeed solved. Feel free to reply with your own experience below!

It would be nice if TCL would give a release date for an actual Android update.

I just got the update. Scrolling performance seems better and stock camera seems better. Anyone else notice any improvements?

What do you mean by freezing? Did you just install the update? My phone was freezing after the update just finished. It takes awhile for the phone to finish the initial configuration. After about 5mins. My phone started to work again.

Want to read more reactions to this update also.

It was freezing for me right after the update finished. A few reboots later, it appears to have stabilized. The Recent Apps still has the lag - but other than that it is flying now ! I had to revert the animations to 1x !

However, I can't install the OTA because I'm rooted, is there any system image or ZIP to just flash it? I don't care if I have to format it, I just don't want to unroot it to be able to install it.

It's to your advantage to actually INSTALL the update. Update's make changes to more partitions than just System and Boot which is what the TWRP images restore..they are great for fixing a hosed system partition but if you use them all the time you are going to miss out on newer radio drivers and other changes which may be required for things to work smoothly.
Do a full unroot from within supersu config...reboot...download and install the update...after sucessful reboot you can reflash TWRP(if replaced by factory recovery) and then flash the supersu zip file to re-enable root.

Instagram is still a stuttering mess.
GPS Icon bug and AM/PM lock screen misalignment are still present. Can't believe those two easily fixed things have made it past 3 updates.

GPS Icon issue happens on more devices than just the Idol however there is an xposed module to fix the issue.

This update thoroughly fixed the issues with Snapchat filters - works great now - but the stutters scrolling through Instagram are my one glaring issue with this phone. Also most videos in my Instagram feed won't play immediately and repeatedly flash a "repeat" or "play again" icon while loading the video, only to have most of the videos never actually play. I've never seen this app behavior on other Android phones.
Regarding the lock screen, I could swear they reduced the font size on the clock with this update (or I'm just now noticing the AM/PM misalignment?).
Can anyone confirm if this update fixed the wake-in-pocket issues some people were experiencing? I haven't had enough time to test.

i downloaded the update where is it located? so i can dig it up with es file explorer

Welp, phone unrooted, still can't find any update whatsoever. I'm using a "french" 6045Y BTW.
Any clue here?
PS: Flamewolf, a .zip package can also edit partitions on it's own accord, just because normal CROMS don't do that, it doesn't mean they CAN'T.
For practical example, just check out sdmerge for the E400. Do you think those .zip use magic to add 1 GB to your phone?

Still no update for 1st or second update in Eastern Europe (Croatia/Serbia/Bosnia)
