[General Questions and Answers] ozp:
I've ordered from both Merimobiles and Etotalk, both you can trust, and price is almost the same at the end (merimobiles is free shipping but price is higher. Etotalk charge for shipping but price is lower)

Merimobiles: fewer addons to choose from, root may not include gapps, screen protector will need manual cut (not the oficial screen protector), slower shipping and the company is changing, they are selling other types of products besides phones and tablets

etotalk: I think this is the best store for phones. fast response, fast shipping, lots of addons to choose from, MOD rom is complete and even come configured at your own language, batteries and screen protector (addons) are official (made for your phone).

If you look for price and trust you can choose aliexpress and find a "assurance plus" seller, They will get your money after you receive it. And you will have free shipping to send back to them.

The down side of aliexpress sellers is that they just sell. Get the phone from factory or distributor and send to you. No services or addons. No expertise about the phone.

If you are the expert, then, aliexpress will be cheaper

Also warranty depends on where you live. If you live too far from china, may be better to forget about warranty. (too slow to send back and receive).

Thanks! I did not noted the previous message about the sound topic.

At the sound options its possible to choose "levels" and "max volume". Cybertech posted a message about choosing "levels" but mobileuncle shows that max volume is not at the max value for LoudSpeaker Mode's levels.

the values are:

Level / value / max vol (0-160)

0 / 128 / 136

1 / 144 / 136

2 / 160 / 136

3 / 176 / 136

4 / 192 / 136

5 / 220 / 136

6 / 236 / 136

The max volume is the same for all the levels, but value inscreases.

I dont know if the best is to change the values or the max volume

I think the "logical" action is to raise the max volume, but I'd rather wait for a confirmation before trying this

i didn't do it like that... i opened the phone, got wires out from the usb, etched room for the coil and 4 metal/magnetic bits an put it inside the back cover.

i'll come back with photos

edit: photos :)

you can probably see dimples in the case right under the Newman logo and midway between the speaker and camera - thinned the case a bit too much, but hey... it's a hack :P

the inside looks nice.

MIUI ROM works but you need to do a full wipe. Problem is that it doesn't support the second simcard, it will crash when there is a simcard in the second slot.

doesn't that make the whole dualsim idea meaningless?

untill a 4.2 version, deodex :good::good::good: is stable enough (minus the fb app - but i find it better: less wasted time)

If you lost the Google Play app, you will have to install it this way:

download it on your Computer or phone, here is the link:

And use an apk installer to install it or find a software related to your device that allows you to install apps directly from your computer.

Hope this will help :)

I immediately installed this rom and not that of etotalk, because equally good and light, but not branded, so I deleted the etotalk rom.

I suggest you to install the "Android 4.1.1 (JB) custom ROMs v2.0.2" - "Release 2013-04-27 > Custom based on official release N1v2.0.2 (SDCard update)" ;)

Strange... I installed the ROM (v2.0.2) and the app worked all ... Of course, after a factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik... Maybe you did not do the factory reset, and the app you had before with etotalk rom do not work properly with this other rom : Confuso:

Excellent rom, I preferred to etotalk rom however was already good, but yours is better :D... I Look forward to the v2.0.3 :D

Hey Guys,

I have a question about the 3G Service.

On the Sim-Card insert is one for G and one for W/G, but in the Settings I can change which Card use the 3G-Service.

Can I change it in the Options or just by swapping the Cards?

And if this is just a Software Setting, isnt it possible to activate the 3G-Service on both cards?

Until now I thought that its about the Hardware.

Thanks in advance,

Browser syng with google account

I have a little problem ... The sync with my google account is perfectly for everything except for the browser (I use the stock browser, which then would have to sync).

In the list of components that are synchronized with my google account is all (address book, calendar, keep, etc), but not the browser ... Any solution?
[General Questions and Answers] P1azer:
Ive been using Chrome since January. Chrome is synchronized with chrome on PC.. And only problem is flash. In that case I rather use dolphin or If I don't have 3G signal than I use Opera mini...

Tapatalk & Newman N1
[General Questions and Answers] Tennic:
Yes, chrome syncs :)

However, in all other smartphones that I have, even the stock Android browser JB syncs with the google account. This is my first smartphone in which the stock browser does not synchronize with the google account, it lacks the appropriate item in the menu synchronization :(

Honestly I think it's a bug of the rom N1, because in all, in the menu sync google, there are all the items except the browser :(

EDIT: SOLUTION :)

Even though the package "chromeBookmarksSyncAdapter" was installed, synchronization of browser did not appear in the list of synchronizations.

I imagined that the package "chromeBookmarksSyncAdapter" was not congruent with the version of Android and the browser.

So I downloaded the GAPPS for Android 4.1.x (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip), I installed from recovery (after wipe cache and dalvik), and now the synchronization of browser works perfectly.

In more has been completed the voice dictation, first incomplete (compared to nexus).

Here is the solution for anyone with the same problem :)

Flash recovery with Mobile Uncle?

Do anybody know if any of these can be flashed with mobile uncle or similar mtk tool?

I know its possible but i need the right CWM img. The phone is rooted ics 4.0.4 ver.1.0.1.

Have been searching a lot.

Edit. Did unzip and flash the 6.0.2.8 img with Mobile Uncle. Seems to work fine.

Then flashed Lingfude's 4.1.1 2013.04.27.

Is there any advantages with the newer 6.0.3.0 ?

I found a fully working 4.2.2 for my Zopo ZP900 , a port from a Amoi rom. The hardware are very similar to the N1.
