Use 'Sp Flash Tool' to download the firmware to your computer, and to flash te firmware of the dream d1. Tutorials how to do, you can find here somewhere on XDA. But remember that the warranty will void if you do that. So if something goes wrong, or you wrick your phone, you have a problem.

And be sure u have the right scatter file if you are flashing a firmware. Otherwise you can wrick you phone if the boot partition isn't flashed right.

Hello,thank you for reply. I dont want to change the firmware, i only want to extend user partition :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
I don't know if that gonna work with the Allview firmware, but you can try it. But first make a complete backup from your p6 quad firmware. To download a complete backup to your computer it can take up to 20 a 30 minutes. I dont gonna explain you how, because there are enough tutorials how you can backup and flash android mtk devices. I wish you good luck with your phone.

One backup with CWM Recovery its enough for restoring if i brick it? sorry for my none knowledge..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
No, you must make a backup with Sp Flash Tool. If you do something wrong and the phone can't boot, you also can't boot into recovery mode. If you have a backup, created with Sp Flash Tool, you have more luck to restore your phone.

You are to plan to remove a partition, and te expand another one. Then it's always a good idea to make a backup with Sp Flash Tool.

Maybe a little late.

I tried it on my own p6 quad, but it doesn't work, and there I was afraid for. I don't know why the firmware/Rom from Allview doesn't allow that. So if you want it to work, you must flash the firmware/Rom from the Dream.

Ok, thanks. Do u have problems with Google calendar too? (that one from play store, not the pre installed app)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
I tried that to a few months ago, but that doesn't work for me either. I don't know why it doesn't work. Maybe the problem lies in the fact that the phone is a dual sim. But the installed calender from Allview is fine by me. But there are more things that the Rom doesn't allows: no expansion of the data partition, or the recovery partition. But I self don't want to flash a Rom from the Dream. I'm fine with the Rom from Allview.

I'll try tomorrow after I root. Do u know, when I scroll fast, and it reaches the top of the page, there is that emty space that slows down... Do you know how to remove that animation?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
I'm afraid that you can't disable that function. Allview disabled much of the developer functions in the Android menu. Maybe that there is a hack or patch, but I haven't find one. But that isn't a big problem, I think. Your phone doesn't slow down, or having any problems, just because that animation. The only thing you can change is the home launcher, where you can change the animated effects. In Google play you will find enough home launchers. You can't do so much with the animation from your phone menu.

Do you guys know if there is an app or any trick to use any other earphones? It appears that I'm allowed to use only the original ones. If I am listening with other earphones, the sound it's not clear like with the originals
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
I think that it is related to the quality of the earphones it self. If I put mij old earphones from my Sony Ericsson in the phone, the sound is still good. Even with the headphone from my computer headset. Maybe the plug is a little bit different? If the plug is shorter than the original earphones, then it will not make such a good contact. If I put in the earphones from my tablet in the phone, the sound is also not so good. Maybe you try it with another earphone. You have apps that can tweak your sound boost (root required), but then you can make it even worse with other sounds, or blow up your phone speaker (what I had with a old smartphone from me, so I had to replace the speaker.)

Hi

I have a allview p6 quad

I rooted my phone and i want to send it in service (GPS problems).

Could anyone please provide a clean backup for the unrooted phone ?

Thank you very very very much

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
There are tools to unroot a phone that is rooted with Motochopper, but if that gonna work for the quad, I don't know. I never tried that. But I don't have a clean backup from the stock Rom. But you can try to flash another Rom. But first backup your own Rom, just in case if something goes wrong.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sama7896:
The restore works ok .... phew... :)

Do you know of any roms working on the p6 quad? Tried to install a few, but installation hangs or aborts on all... Is there a check on the zips that makes it stop? Or is it the partition size...

Thanks again
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
If you flash with sp Flash Tool, you must use the right scatter file, otherwise it will abort. Ore you use the wrong version of sp Flash Tool. But you can't flash a zip file, you must unpack it first. And use the Flash button, not the upload. I wil see if I have time tomorrow, and make a backup from my quad, after I reset it to factory default settings. If that gonna help with your gps problem, I don't know. But I don't know if I have time tomorrow. Otherwise it will be the day after it.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sama7896:
Thank you very much.

I used cwm in my (failed) attempts to install the zips. Plus this one really looks good and its 4.2.

Thank you kindly for the backup - whenever you have the time.

It all started from a error in trying to run igo...

every

version of it:

Out of memory.

Requested: 1701978227.

Cache: 0

The included Maps app tries to locate the satellite, but fails.

That's why i'm searching for a stock version / alternate version.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
The backup I will make isn't stock, because it's rooted and have a changed bootloader and bootlogo. And it has TWRP, not CWM. But you can flash Cwm afterwards, or the stock recovery. I will look at it tomorrow, if I have time, because then I cannot use my phone. Lol.

I will see that I also make a small manual for it, so you do it correct. Then other people can use it to. But otherwise I will be the day after, when the weekend begins :D

Hi again

Ive been trying to get sp flash tools to work but i keep getting this error.

I installed all drivers correctly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
I had the same problem in the past. I solved it to use another version of Sp Flash Tool. Some versions work with your phone, and some newer versions don't. But I haven't no time to make a backup from my phone. Yesterday a had no electricity because some bonehead broke a cable in the ground with street work. But I will see to make tomorrow a backup, after work.

But my advice now: try another version from Sp Flash Tool. I don't know exactly which version I used, but I'm not at home, so I can't look on the computer.

Please tell me what device appears in "device manager" when you connect the phone (turned off).

That's normal. If you connect it when sp Flashtool is running, it stays connected. I start Flashtool and load the scatter file, then I select the download button. Then I push the volume down button on the phone and hold it, then I connect the phone to the computer. But the drivers must be installed.

Send with my Allview p6 quad
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ciubi:

By the way, my phone does't stay connected when SP Flashtool is running. It disconnect after 1 second (Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port dissapear almost imediately from device manager).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
Strange. Then delete al the drivers in the device manager from Windows and install it again (remove completely from your computer). Otherwise try it on another computer. Or try another USB cable, maybe yours broken. I had the problem with my cable that it can used for charging but not for data transfer on the computer. If you have also two cables delivered with your phone, try the other one.

I don't have any problems with these drivers. They do it on my laptop and desktop, with Vista, Windows 7 and 8.

It should work with the drivers I posted. You can also try to install the driver's manually, to choose the folder where the drivers are unpacked.

If you have the problem that your phone dissipate after a second in the device manager, try this: power off your phone, then press the volume down button and hold it, then press the power button at the same time and hold it until your phone power up. Now your phone is in a test mode. Connect your phone to the computer and install the drivers again. At this mode your phone should stay connected to the computer. But only use it to install the drivers. Don't use you phone in this mode with SP Flashtool.

to compound the problem, when trying to see if the cwm recovery for another phone with the same chipset as my phone could work, i mistakenly deleted my recovery, and the usb debuggging was off when the phone began bootlooping. i can only boot into fastboot mode, the phone is a tecno t3 ( not popular i know ) but every help will be appreciated.

Hey wen you edit the framework-res.apk be carefull unless you know wat you are doing. I prefer you send me the copy of framework-res.apk and i lll try to correct any mistake done on it. Framework res hold resources to be used by the whole system. Like even the Android keyboard need some resources to oparate. All icons you see on Android are are stored in framework res. Eg the battery status icons, network state icon, data connectivity icons. Zoom icons. Power off dialog icon etc. Each resource is marked by an identifyer. Eg 0x9898ed5

So if you edit it and the resource missmatch happens. Thats a boot loop

First, visual studio 2012 then...

You need the SDK

http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk

You may also find Expression design (not web design) useful for creating textures and graphics.

You find all these on your dreamspark account for free.

Then you have samples on MSDN.

Got VS2012 ultimate already. Expression design is in dreamspark as well?

Hi,

just wondering what language I would use best to develop for w8 and wp8.

anything I should put my focus on?

And what can I do with my Dev activated device?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
If you developer unlock your phone you can deploy your own Apps to the device to test them on real hardware.

As far as I remember Blend gets installed along with VS2012 and is no longer a separate download. It is being discontinued anyway so I would not get into it too deep.

As for the language of choice: it depends on what you want to do. If it's 3D games you won't get around C++ but otherwise I would suggest C#. If you already have knowledge of VB.Net or VB that might be worth a look but for a total beginner I believe C# is the best way to go.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -adrian-:
well my knowledge reduces itself on java and abap - so I guess c# would be my choice.

what is blend if I may ask? Just saw the icon but did not check it out.

and how do I "port" easily between w8 and wp8?

thanks anyways so far.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Java and C# are rather similar so that should be rather easy for you to learn. The libraries are different of course and there is some additional syntactic sugar in C#.

Expression Blend is the Interface Designer. It is tailored towards designers more than programmers. It makes creation of Interface animations a lot easier than Visual Studio.

As for W8/WP8 portability - that is quite a difficult topic. The UI will have to be done separately anyway.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deani:
If you want to develop a Windows Phone 8 app you don't need / should use Expression Studio 4 Ultimate.

You should install Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate if Dreamspark offers it).

Then you should install the latest update, Update 2 CTP 4 for Visual Studio. microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36833[/url]

And then Use Expression Blend For Visual Studio to do your UI, and Visual Studio for all your C#.

To get you started there is a ton of help and samples at the developer site for Windows Phone: dev.windowsphone.com/en-u
