[Android General] HyperEscape:
Hi bthoven (quoting your 2 posts),

If you think it the correct one to buy and it is not a good bargain to get it from FastCardTech, then can you please guide me to a better online store where I can order it in a low price to get a better deal. From the AliExpress link you have sent the price is 194USD plus it will charge 31.80USD for shipping to my country. It will make it a total of 226USD. So it a really a good deal which cannot be compared elsewhere on the other online stores? are you sure..

When you got your package from AliExpress what was description and order value declared on the parcel, since I also have to pay the customs duty on delivery, which can be lowered if the declared item value is less.

The AliExpress links also add another level of confusion, if you look closely there are three variants of Haipai MT6575 Noble as seen in the pictures on the product ad page.

(right or left mentioned from the picture viewer perspective and not the user)

1. The camera position is extreme left with supposedly two led flash lights.

2. The camera position is in the middle with flash on the bottom of the camera (white version of the phone)

3. The camera position is in the middle with flash on the left.

Apparently none of these models mimic the original handset. The original Galaxy Note N7000 as on gsmarena shows the camera in middle with flash on the right side.

From the description of the items mentioned in your post, I assume you have ordered the phone in White color, so is it original HaiPai Noble, or another of the gazillion clones out there.

Cause what I understand after skimming through 100+ pages of this thread, any ROM, update or any other feature mentioned here would only be applicable on HaiPai MTK 6575 and not any other similar clones.

Ronbo76 has also commented on your post about AliExpress as he is not sure that it is the original intended version of the HaiPad noble and not a clone.

What is your experience with this handset so far and are you able to apply the custom ROM / flash image made by angelobiz easily without bricking your phone.

So it means it would not even have a basic compass ? have you tried running any compass app to check it. Supposedly the SmartTools would not run on it, since it needs and makes use of all the sensors.

Thanks.

Hello Angelo,

I hope you would be back by now.

I have been reading a lot through this thread and I appreciate all the great stuff you have done for HaiPad Noble.

I have read that I need to have exactly the same phone as you are using to be able to flash the recovery/ROM/firmware which you have made.

I just need a little help from you. Please have a look at the following link and inform is it the same HaiPaid i9220 Noble which you are using , so I can purchase it to try and apply the mods you have done.

This information would be useful to everyone in general who is planning and searching for the same phone.

Many thanks for your help to clear the confusion.
