Great news. Hope you enjoy it. I bought from Pandawill, It will take 25-40 days to get here (Turkey). Also 4 of my friends bought it and for us one of the biggest pros of N1 is the potential of XDA.

is it newman or newsmy?

i was confused
[General Questions and Answers] Patanol:
I heard that Newsmy is the name of the company producing Newman N1. But ıt isn't listed at the official site of Newsmy. It might be a clone.

hi every1,

i got today my freelander i10, great device! really happy with it! my 1st android as well!

i went stright away and installed recovery, now ill root it.

heres a vid from youku to install recovery:

v youku com/v_show/id_XNDM1MTM2OTMy.html

cant post link yet :\ replace spaces with dots

use the files given in this topic on page 17.

before i start using it i want to update it to latest ver, since i have the freelander the latest ver is 1.0.2 which is already installed on my device.

but because this is identical to the newman im think whether i should install the latest newman firmware which is 1.0.9... what do you think?

shame all the information is in Chinese, nothing in english, bit in russain but thats not big help either... only google translate helps a bit.

dont think ill install custom roms for now, honsetly i just want a device thats working with no problems, and i want to check i dont have those sms china apps.

also on the freelander hebrew comes installed which is good for me and i would like to keep it... how do i know if other roms have it too? and what if they dont? is it possible to install it after?

[General Questions and Answers] fcsabika:
Okay, but I think that gommers1978 has already got his N1, and he said he will create a ROM for it, and if he will be ready with it sooner than me then I think there is no need for my ROM.

I will get my N1 in a few days.

Hi guys. How i can do a reset of the phone with the etotalk rom?i try from the settings and from etotalk tools but the telephone just reboot and nit reset.i try from recovery but is all in chinese so i cant understand the options. Someone know how to do it?
[General Questions and Answers] keiser1080:
read the last post of the prev page everithing (rooting, flashing, add a emei) is on the russian forum.

After the root i diden't lost my imei.

And also after flashing my newman n1 with the freelander rom.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Don't forget to add the french language on the moded rom ;)

I can give some feed back.

The russian user say the only rom without a gps problem is the frelander rom.

There are a ported rom from the zte V970, a miui Rom, and some moded rom.

There are an issue on the partition on a lot of rom.

With mobile uncle tools it's possible to enter on the engineer menu, it's also possible with a code but i diden't try.

For the gps => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233359

Do you have the skill to add this TWRP ?

:D

I got mine today, from etotalk with custom rom. All was alright, only didn't try to make a backup. Anyone knows how to do it?

Singapore Post (cheapest on the options) is damm fast! Took about a week, while the more used, China Post, takes about 40-50 days :S

I whished one day I could see CM10 in this..
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
Instructions are on the way, only thing I don't like about etotalk Rom is that the Multilanguage is not applied on every app. I am working on a Multilanguage Rom right now. Please have patience as it takes some time and testing to get it right.
[General Questions and Answers] -wanderer-:
Excellent news! I am waiting for my n1 to arrive, can't wait to try your rom. My first Android aswell :)
[General Questions and Answers] Tsurany:
Do you guys think that Android 4.1 or 4.2 will be a possibility at all? Or does that really depend on the company behind Newman?

Thinking about getting one since I need a dual SIM phone and the Jiayu G3 isn't getting here any time soon. For now ICS would be fine but in the future I'd like an update to 4.1 or 4.2 since Google Now could be usefull and Android 4.2 will offer more security.

And could anyone tell me if I should go for the Newman N1 or the ZTE V970? They seem so similar...
[General Questions and Answers] kostis85:
Guys I read you daily and I have found solutions in many problems in my last phones. These days I received the Newman N1 from Etotalk with custom Etotalk ROM (1.0.5) and I have got some problems (like games dont work well, gps problem, storage aprtition etc..) so if gommers1978 is realy gona make a good stable multilanguage ROM for this phone I'm really gona donate him some $ for his work and time spent for this phone.

I registered in this forum (even though I'm reading it some years now) only to tell you this. Some guys should be rewarded for their efforts and time spending making our mobilephones better and better!
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
4.1 or 4.2 will depend on newman because of "driver" issues for the hardware.
[General Questions and Answers] androidnyubi:
imo, you better get N1, it has compass and gorilla glass (still not sure about this, but you can check youtube), v970 you can find custom rom here on XDA, but i think N1 will have a custom rom too

couldn't agree with you more, gommers1978 or anyone who put the time and effort on creating custom rom, step by step root/unroot etc, should put paypal donation link on their webpages :good:
[General Questions and Answers] Tsurany:
I allready assumed Gommers1978 is going to make a custom rom so that's another point fo the N1.

Any idea if ZTE is more likely to release an update then Newman?
[General Questions and Answers] Pauloang:
Here´s an idea... if you install a ROM that is functional and a real upgrade to the stock one, why not donate the same amount of money you you surely pay on the prepaid ROM (like Etowalk MOD ROM).

I´m buying my huawei without any ROM just to install one from Bruno.

If his ROM works, (as I am really hoping to work) I am going to donate him the same amount I would have paid to etowalk. Better deal for me (a true costumer support I could actually read instead of chinese) and for him (more money).

Etotalk, merimobiles.
[General Questions and Answers] Patanol:
@wangiles and @fcsabika

Thanks for the quick reply but Etotalk wants $25 for shipment to Turkey. Otherwise I won't choose any seller. Most of the Aliexpress sellers, even the ones with %95 feedback score are scam. They don't have stock and don't put a pre-sell sign either. I will try to get a deal from Etotalk.

[General Questions and Answers] keiser1080:
did you check the link on the russian forum there are a script to backup the rom.

You say it's difficult tu upgrade to another android version because you have tu find the driver.

I think (i am not sure) the hardware is the same on a lot of chinese phone same wifi chipset, same radio, same processor ect..

For example the zte is very similare exept the front camera, I think all the ardware is the same there are a zte rom and a lenovo rom on the russian forum.

So if it's correct, if one other similare phone uprade to android 4.9 :laugh: that will by possible to upgrade de newman N1?

I'm going to install the gommers1978's ROM but before I tried to backup my rom from CWM recovery and it takes very long. 2,5 hours pasted to backup the boot image and half hour now is trying to back up the recovery image. and keep going... Is that normal?
[General Questions and Answers] kostis85:
OK. backup complete after 4!!!! hours. I can see that clockworkmod has created a folder in my external sd with some image files. But the strange thing is the recovery image is 3.57GB!! and the boot image is 3.58GB!!. Is it possible? My initial ROM with all the apps and games I installed is no more than 400mb.. Something is going wrong with my phone backup or somethind I'm doing it wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] ozp:
yes, but thats not what I asked!

I think the macro option is automatic. I tried and got this result.

wonderful , by the way, maybe if you have time, later, you can add how to root, install the CMW on this phone and flash the recovery, although here on XDA there is a wiki on how to install CMW, but its better specific for this phone, especially for a newbie like me :o

even tough keiser1080 here already post on how to flash the recovery ;)

thanks for both of you, my phone btw come pre-root and have gapps there, but still i want to re-install using your ROM

I found 2 bugs, i dont know if it is because of my work or it was allready in the stock 1.0.9.

- Wifi went off and did not turn on again and is impossible to turn on also bluetooth.

Tried a fix in settings.apk testing now.

Wifi problem seems to be something with sleepmode....

- Latest facebook from market crashes at login, installed older version and this worked. (cannot find what causes the crash)

- Standard keyboard does not have all the dictionaries, I use Swype.
