What's the best score you've achieved till now with your personalized ROM, on Antutu ?

(Do you value this score, or do you believe it is wrong to measure performance by it?)

On my ROM antutu 5553 score, but i don't think it gives a complete picture of overall performance.

Hello all,

I have been thinking about getting a new cell phone and it seems that this Newman n1 is a good candidate. I had a Galaxy S2 and I really loved it but when I changed my job I had to return it. Right now I have a Galaxy Pop Plus...and it is giving me some problems.

I have some doubts that you who have this mobile may be able to answer:

- Does it have HDMI out? (Does any MTK6577 have it?)

- How about camera? Does it record full HD video? How about its 8Mpix pictures? Are they real or interpolated?

- How about battery duration? Can you adjust it to only use 2G to preserve battery?

- Is it OK to use it in the car with map programs (navigon, google nav, sygic,..)?

- Does it have any flaws? Has it good quality controls?

- Any regrets so far?

I have been thinking to buy it through Pandawill. Have you seen it in any other place cheaper/trustfull?

Maybe we could have the first post re done to have a faq and some guides.

Thanks for your help!!
[General Questions and Answers] kostis85:
1. No hdmi out

2. It records 720p.I have not try any programm that can change the capture resolution to 1080p and I dont know if the hardware can support it. The camera is above the avarage with fast focus, face detection and built in HDR. Actually is the best camera I had untill now much better than the 5Mp in my previous HTC phones. With other programms like (e.g. MX camera) I can shoot 32 pictures in 1,5 seconds!!!!

3. Battry duration 2 days without wifi and games. Wifi on drys the battery very very fast. Also heavy graphic games will juice out your phone and it will not last even one day( but i think all phones with big screens suffer from the same problem)

4. I have intsalled the latest Ndrive and with the 1.0.9 rom works excellent. With A-gps signal locks in less than a minute.

5. Flaws... Well the 1.0.5 stock rom has some small issues but the latest ROMdont have any problems.

The camera's LED is very weak and not bright at all (at least in my devise) and it is prety much useless in dark.

The back panel has the protective glass for the camera lens, so if in time you will scractch it you will replace the back panel and you will have crystal clear images again.

Also some of my wired headset from HTC and I-phone dont work. But simple headphones works very good and i think I get more loud music than other devices

For the money you cant find any faster and more powerfull phone with such a great screen.

If you take in your hands does NOT feal cheap/china made at all and that was a pleasant surprize when I got mine

Hope I helped...
[General Questions and Answers] hmedevil:
About battery drain, can you switch over to 2G data (GPRS,EDGE) instead of 3.xG(UMTS,HDSPA,...)?? In all my Androids, when you use that feature, power consumption is lower and battery lasts more. Usually I use that feature when I am not browsing and I only need mails, whatsapp and things like that to get to my phone (small data sizes, no real time need). In both Samsung Android phones I used (Galaxy Pop Plus and Galaxy S II) i could make the change. In a Sony ericsson Neo V of a friend of mine, that was not possible,

Thanks!!!

Already installed

I followed your instruction

I choose to intall from CWM recovery
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
You have 2 install from a sdcard not from the sd memory of the phone.

You installed the CWM recovery trough flashtools from the site?

After you installed you made a CWM backup of your ETOtalk ROM?

After that you cleared factory reset and cache?

If it still does not work redownload the update zip.

[General Questions and Answers] hairclub:
@gommers1978 any idea to resolve my problem?
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
Never do a factory reset, if you do that with a modded rom you get bootloop. You can go into cwm if possible and reapply the zip. If not you have to flash the chinese/english rom and reapply cwm and then the zip.
[General Questions and Answers] Skorp:
Downloading the full rom from a russian mirror. Better speed then those chines servers. :)

Wil reaply your rom and will keep away from the factory reset. ;)

Rooting help required with Newman N1

Hi All !

I have been trying to root the phone but have been unsuccessful so far.

I got my newman n1 yesterday from aliexpress and it is not rooted. When I try to enter into recovery mode by pressing volume up + power button all I see is the android belly with red exclamation mark. I am able to install mobile uncle tools but when I try to use that application to boot into recovery mode, mobileuncle app crashes out. So, I am stuck at the first step from last 24 hours with practically useless phone. Any help to get past this step is appreciated.

Other details: I have tried installing CWM but I don't see any MTK65xx device in device manager (droidwebspace.com/index.php/roms/74-cwmflash) instead "N1" shows up under portable devices, which does not get updated.

[General Questions and Answers] kysl:
Mind explain why?:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] benc999:
Right, you have the wrong driver installed. The Android composite device driver is just so Windows can access the SD card on the phone and to flash you need a different driver. When you go to device manager, uninstall and click the checkbox to delete the software, otherwise Windows will keep installing that driver software.

I also found that for Win 7 64 bit the driver included with flashtools doesn't work. Google for the zopo zp300 usb driver - these drivers worked perfectly for Win 7 64.

Have device manager open and waiting and plug the phone in without the battery. As soon as the device appears in device manager, right click and install the driver you've downloaded.

Follow the procedure detailed in the thread on how to flash CWM. When you open flashtools, the phone must be unplugged from the PC. Remove battery - not completely, just so its not making contact. Hit download on flashtools, plug in USB cable and immediately replace the battery.

Time is of the essence - you have to be reasonably quick doing all these tasks, but it definitely works.

Hi.

I installed the latest ROM 1.0.9.20.10.2012 (4th BETA) from gommers1978 following all instructions. It works great, but now I have some issues with saving files. I can't make screenshots or save picture from Google Chrome. And standard wallpapers are also not available.

I have no physical SD cards, but in preferences I see a suitable section. It mounted, but it can't be used.

I wonder, is this a normal behaviour (and I just need to buy SD card) or I did something wrong?

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Have you removed the Android Composite drivers? What error messages are you getting and what version of Windows are you on?

Try doing a system restore/rollback to a time BEFORE you installed any drivers whatsoever.

I ask as I went through similar troubles and managed to sort them in the end,
[General Questions and Answers] hed190:
"Windows was unable to install your MTK USB Debug Port(COM6)

Windows could not find driver software for your device.

If you know the manufacturer... blablabla"

That's the error

already uninstaled driver and instaled again but nothing works, i think it's because im on a win7 64 bit computer...

hed190
[General Questions and Answers] benc999:
Right! We are nearly there!

Before connecting the phone without the battery, make sure you can see Device Manager. Look and see where the device appears on the list. If it disappears, no problem. Keep unplugging/plugging back in until you can right click on the device that appears for a second. Hopefully you will get an idea where on the list of devices it appears so you can move the mouse pointer there and get ready to quickly click and install the drivers!

Its all about being quick, but if I can do it, anyone can!
