Request for Steps to Root/install CWM Recovery/Restore Backup image on Gionee E3

Hi Bhargav,

You are one very few guys who have successfully Rooted Gionee E3, Installed CWM Recovery & was able to restore/backup with Gionee E3.

It will be of really great help for novice like me if you put up some steps along with required files for above three processes. This will help many such users.

There are many users coming on board with Gionee E3 & are interested in rooting it. Unfortunately, being new and less popular brand, there is very little help available online for Gionee E3.

This phone is a real slim beauty :) and with your help we can for sure try to take it to next level.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Wiki.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
I guess I just don't understand this product, what's is the point?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
It has to be a joke this literally doors nothing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
Yeh, I don't see the point either. Its as though they didn't know if they should go wireless or cabled, so instead they went half and half.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
I wrote up 2 nice counter reviews but it would let me post them, just said I didn't have authorization to post. Strange, almost as strange as this product.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] snapz54:
Doesn't make much sense for a phone to be sure, but I've actually started using it with a couple of tablets that I keep around the house. Don't mind having the cable attached always because they stay in the house for gentle use. Nice to be able to just hover over and more often than not it catches in the right spot and charges faithfully. Almost kind of not quite wireless :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
You're not seriously saying that this is better or easier that just plugging the phone/tablet into the wall? And this isn't almost kind of not wireless anything, it Is Wired, period. The only advantage I can see is if you had just lost your eyesight and had not learned how to feel a plug into a socket, it would be nice to be able to "zip" the magnetic wire to the charger. But for anyone who can see this is an expensive extra step.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] snapz54:
The benefit is less wear and tear on the micro USB slot. That is the main reason that I want wireless charging to start. Constant plugging and unplugging and manufacturers design the micro USB slot to fail because most will be bullied at the store and just upgrade.

Again, I'm not saying it's for everyone, the decreased wear and tear is worth it in my eyes. A failed micro USB slot killed my HP touchpad, had I been using this device, that might have been prevented or at the very least delayed.

Of course, if I had my druthers Verizon wouldn't be a group of evil so and so's that intentionally covered up functioning wireless charging hardware in their version of the Note 2. They did do that though, so we continue to search for something that might help to fill the void without having to modify the phone and void warranty replacements.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
That's the silliest thing I've heard. You still have to plug this zip thingy into your usb. Are you telling me that you walk around all day with this zip thing hanging off your phone? And for the price of this system I would rather take the chance that my usb fails and have the phone replaced under warranty, and that's assuming your usb would even fail and from what I've been reading sammy sorted out this issue with the note 2.

I know it sucks that Verizon took away hassle free wireless charging, but you can't honestly tell us that this is a step in the right direction?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] snapz54:
I don't think you're actually reading what I'm writing. I said it's impractical for phones. Makes sense for my tablets that I keep around the house. HP touchpad I mentioned is specifically no longer being made which means no replacement.

I don't work for this company though, I feel we're spending too much time talking about the product. Take it or leave it. Let's get on with our lives.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
If it's impractical for phones (I agree), why are you posting it in a phone thread? Kind of a contradiction, don't you think? And for the record, that was the most annoying video slideshow I've ever seen because of the terrible music. Zippity do dah? Really....

PS: If you post a long review thread about a product, the whole point is to talk about it. What else would you be talking about? I'm sorry, but you really make no sense, much like what this thread is doing in the Note 2 section (because the Note 2 is a phone).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joshm.1219:
I mean there's a lot bull in this post other people have pointed out, but I will mention if you're that anal about the condition of your micro usb port we have replaceable batteries. I can count on my hands the number of times I actually plugged this phone in.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Sorry Phil, but you asked for it ;) I just visited your tech review column in Examiner from your link, and from one reviewer (you can check out all my work from the last 5-6 months in my signature link) to another - the difference of posting in online newspaper/magazine versus a forum with 5+ million subscribers is that you get an instant feedback and opinions of the users. People don't just read a column, but take every post as a thread to open a discussion, to express their opinion, and to "talk about the product". Don't take it personally. You did make a valid point of how you used it in your case with HP tablet. For sure it fails with Note 2 or any other smart phone, and perhaps your review has a place in here to stir people with Note 2 away from this product :p

I do have to agree about being upset with VZW handicapping N2 by eliminating wireless charging, and I was happy they brought it back in S4 (in my S4 review I specifically pointed that out).

Also, as a comment about slideshow. I noticed you do that with every review, which is probably easier than actual YT video. I guess it's just your signature style, just like I take a ton of pictures with every review I do. I post a detailed write-ups and embed a lot of pictures. Some people hate reading and just need cliff notes with a few bullet points, others skip straight to the pictures. Whatever their preference, I respect that and try to make everyone happy ;) As part of instant feedback to your review people are not digging it because they expect a glorious video with lots of talking and hands on test. Again, don't take it in defensive way, that's just a feedback from our readers. Oh, and I'm sure Opasha meant in his comment that your music was "too happy" for his taste :)

I think all this feedback is great, and if I were you I would forward this link directly to a company. That's what I do with all my reviews. Vendors need to know what real customers think about their product. Otherwise they will never improve.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
[MENTION=3996566]vectron[/MENTION]: He should change the annoying music to something really simple or at least not as annoying, and people will take his slideshow more seriously. I mean that on a productive/constructive level. I made no comments on his review skills or the pictures. Those are all excellent. He just needs to kind of get a clue or wake up a little if he wants to move forward with his life as he so put it.

also, to add to why the music is actually annoying, look at the comment in his other thread. truthfully, no one, especially any company/vendor will take him seriously because of it:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
Not to mention the Web page, review write up, and video say the exact same things in the exact same way. I watched the video thinking I would gain more insight into the product only to have been hit in the face with the exact same words as I had already read twice.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] stanglifemike:
I would never buy this for my Note 2, but I might CONSIDER it for my Asus Infinity. Only way I'd by this for my Infinity though is if it was around $20-25, and I wouldn't pay a penny more! Even with a $20 price tag, I honestly still don't believe I would purchase one. I'm not doubting that your TouchPad's charging port failed, but in my 15 years of owning mobile phones I've never had a charging port fail in any way. With that in mind, I really don't see why I'd ever purchase one of these.....

Anyway, thanks for sharing this product with the community. Helps us all decide if we do or do not like/want a product.

SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 2 using XDA Premium
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] snapz54:
I appreciate your words Vectron.

For you and everyone else, rather than choose what I think you will and won't like, I'd rather just be able to post anything up here as long as it is compatible with the Note 2. That way you can have a reference point in your head. I have no stake in your love of the product. If you want to say it's a terrible product, I applaud your personal take on it. I just want to present information without telling you what to like and dislike. If it fits your need than I'm happy I could show you a little closer look then you might of seen otherwise. If it's not for you, you can just let it be buried on the site and I'll post another review soon of a product that hopefully suits you more fully. I really am just trying to offer information and sometimes being able to now that this product isn't for you is a useful thing to know.

Regarding the same info posted, I figure some people will look here, some on the site, etc. I post the info here for those that want to just read and go. I post the link to the video for those that want to see the pictures and be done with it. I post the link to the site because I've already hyperlinked all of the necessary pages and info within that and it's a pain to redo it on the forum as well when the work was already done there. My hope is that you'll decide which one suits you best and then use that approach from now on. If the forum post is enough than use just that please.

I appreciate all of the constructive criticism. It's nice of you all to take the time out of your day to help me do a better job of showing you these products. I read and consider everything that you say.

The music in the videos... I'll repost what I said in the other thread.

The opening with the choir type voices is from an everclear song from the album so much for the afterglow.

Otherwise, for every product reviewed, I try to pick a song that has something to do with the product or it's name. It's just a fun little touch. So for the samDOCK review the song is hickory dickory DOCK, which is a child's nursery rhyme. It's just a goofy little added touch and you can always mute and just look at the pictures if the music is bugging you. I was this close to doing a death metal cover of hickory dickory dock but I couldn't find a clear enough recording.

This review was for the Zip Mini and I did the song "Zipity do dah" I always try to find a violin or guitar cover that is more subtle but for some it's difficult.

I reviewed a wireless charging dock the other day and I used the song, "I've got no strings" from Pinocchio. "I've got no strings, to hold me down" no wires, wireless charging, you get it. Just a fun little touch.

They aren't always kids songs.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
In another thread, we found out that you simply need to add the SamsungCamera2.apk from the i9500 to the system/app directory (needs root) of your i9505, and the option to record in 720p is there, and it seems to be working :)

I thought this might be useful to many people who probably won't notice the question in the Q&A sub forum.

Here is the link to the thread : Link

And here is the link to my post with the SamsungCamera2.apk I have on my i9500 : Link

EDIT: Thanks to NoOneCanHelpMe for uploading the apk to his dropbox account, here is the link : http://db.tt/bKsin5eS

Please press the "Thanks" button if this post helped you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jody2k:
Cool thanks for sharing, its also quite funny though they downgraded the I9505 camera software on purpose
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Indeed, I wonder why they did that, especially since I think it's the only difference in the camera software on both variants.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jody2k:
I would say for marketing purposes but slowmotion aint that special so I also wonder, could be lazyness also from samsung by not optimizing their software
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Yeah, though they didn't even mention the difference, and they even tried to convince people that the i9505 was as good as the i9500 because of the limited availability of the Exynos CPU so they wouldn't feel they got an inferior version, so this goes the wrong way.

I've seen no reviews mentionning that either, only users on xda.

Also, lazyness seems weird too, because instead of using the same version of the camera software on both variants, they went out of their way to implement a difference, which means 2 versions of the software to maintain and update.

So I'm wondering if it was because of the performance? Is the FPS the same on the i9505 when using 720p? or does it become more choppy?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jakemog:
It records at 15 fps... and choppy.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexM1986:
Confirmed, it's not really worth it as the video is extremely choppy.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Ok, that explains it then :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] lambstone:
So while this "mod" allows us to record slow motion in 720p... it does so at the expense of fps?

Doesn't really seem to be that useful then
[Galaxy S 4 General] jakemog:
Isn't it possible to force the camera to record at the same 120/60 fps ? :/
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Mayb its due to limitations of emor-r sensor on i9505 over exmor-rs on i9500

Dont bash me..but this seems 2 b the reason for the lower camera quality on i9505..

Even there r some reviewers too who thinks the same...

It is for sure not a sensor limitation. Don't forget that the sensor is able to take 1080p videos ;)

[Galaxy S 4 General] jakemog:
Yeah.. sorry but thats just horrible, might as well record a normal video in full HD and reduce the framerate by 1/2..

Same result.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Indeed, this is a lot more choppy than on the i9500.. I guess that's why they downgraded the i9505's camera software..

So I am guess it's either the different sensor or slower cpu/gpu.

[Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
not a sensor limitation.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lambstone:
Yeah, my guess is Chip optimization. The i9500 camera software is not optimized for the i9505 chipset. I'm referring to the CPU chipset and not the sensor module.
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
no u don't it's choppy even on 9500 :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] jastonas:
I wonder what you mean by perfect.

I just made 6 videos (3 with i9500 and 3 with 9505).

All videos with i9500 where crappy compared to the 9505. Not even satisfactory.

Can you upload one video of yours to see if it actually has a difference or your just easily pleased?? :P

[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
Don't bother, the 720p slowmo on i9500 is scaled up from lower reso as well, and choppy too.

the sensor is capable of doing 120fps but not anymore, so in order to do 1/8 slowmo the fps is only 15.

I actually would prefer a 480p option for slowmo because there is no point doing scaling up, only a waste of space.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jastonas:
I don't think it's just a scale up. Quality it's much better.
