Sorry if my question is estupid.

Firefly v65 is similar to inew i6000?

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Recovery for inew i6000 is good to firefly v65?
[Android General] kosturica:
When I started the gps status or gps test apk, 30 minutes later, no signal, nothing.The indicator is empty. A-gps, Epo assistant turned, faster gps also set to my regions. ( iNew i6000 16GB, 1GB ram) Sorry for my bad english!
[Android General] yazujiro:
Hi Alessandro,

I am sorry for you.

If you have a recovery image installed, you can download a rom from chinaphonearena and install it, once you are in recovery mode.

If you don't have a recovery image installed, you will need to connect your phone to a PC/Laptop, use a tool like eroot to send a recovery image to the phone. Then install a new rom.
[Android General] stevenma61:
most likely, it is compatible. i will say 98% , it can be used on firefly V65.
[Android General] cromo320:
Which is better?

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Which would You buy?
[Android General] stevenma61:
i will say both of them r the same, they r from one factory, except the name only, it depend on the price, availabilty, n the color that suit u.
[Android General] cromo320:
Do you recomend me wait for i6000 in black?

If You have your experience about it
[Android General] stevenma61:
if u can get black V65 in stock, then grab it. there is no different in the item. but i think the price for firefly is a bit more expensive
[Android General] stevenma61:
i had figured out how to install the play store in Lewa rom

Actually, the Lewa rom come with root, u have to turn it on under the app "secure center".

try the following for installation

use "Eroot" to root yr phone, reboot yr phone,

then use EROOT to unroot yr phone, reboot yr phone,

then use EROOT to root yr phone again, then reboot yr phone.

now reboot yr phone to recovery, then install yr google app zip

then u should have yr play store installed
[Android General] eojont:
Dear stevenma61,

Thanks for suggestion. Let me ask for more clearity

1.If I follow this method, any gapps.zip can be install without force closed or no connection problem, right?

2. Before using ERoot, do I have to turn root option on in secure center like you said or not.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] stevenma61:
i had tried the play store in Lewa rom , it is working fine, no " No connection", i can connect, after the installation , the play store still in older version, after i runned it second time, it was updated to newer version. so i am quite sure it was working now.

u can use any gapps.zip. ( i asume, the one i used is dated 12 12 2012)

i think initially, the play store cannot have connection is due to the app "secure center" in the rom.

i am not too sure u need to turn it on or not, but i think it is not necessary, because u r going to root, unroot, n root again.

Anyway, after i tried the playstore is working, then i switch back to my stock rom.

for Lewa rom , it is quite good also, but always wait till it was updated fourth or fifth times
[Android General] eojont:
STEVENMA61 : YOU ARE A HERO.

Absolutely thanks , I followed your guide and now I can install playstore without any problem. Really BIG Thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

velcomrob;

Did you try the new update stock rom? (how about compare to SS rom) It also good. I use it for one week. No problem at all (freeze and restart only three times in one week, that acceptable for me).

I not try SS new update rom yet, today success to install Lefrog Rom with playstore as stevenma suggest and will try with this for 2 or three days.

Will try SS later. Thanks in advance for your sharing.
[Android General] JohnnyInBriz:
I received my More Fine S6Pro (2GB/32GB) earlier this week. It came already rooted even though I didn't ask for it and I'd been searching for a CWM recovery when I came across this thread.

I tried 2 of the recoveries posted here. One didn't boot, the i6000 one posted by stevenma61 (thanks steven!) seemed to boot but the just showed a few garbled lines at the top. At least the power button caused it to reboot. Problem was I forgot to pull the original recovery so instead I pulled the boot img using SP Flash and then used michfood's packunpack tool to get the S6pro kernel into the i6000 recovery. At least I now have a working CWM recovery and in English too, even if the text is microscopic :D

[Android General] dio62000:
Please help!

Please help me, I've messed up my brand new phone badly. I rooted it successfully, managed to get CWM installed, but it went wrong when I tried to partition the storage card. I ended up partitioning through CWM, and that was wrong!

I installed latest Firefly ROM update, but still am stuck on iNew screen.

Please, what should I do next?

When installing Firefly ROM from CWM it says:

E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install

E: failed to open last_install: No such file or directory

But the ROM installs. Still won't boot though,keeps hanging on iNew logo.
[Android General] eojont:
Dio,

I think Your problem is fixable by flashing back to stock ROM by SPF flash tools. Did you back up your original ROM?

If you do not have , you may try using rom in post#87 by dmellosd . or you can find it at http://www.needrom.com/mobile/firefly-v65/ find the official one that flash by flash Tools (not by CWM).
[Android General] dio62000:
Hi, thanks for your reply. I am now trying to flash back stock ROM with SPF flash tools. But don't really know how SPF FT is working. I have found the scatter file now. I have V65 recovery and I have several ROMs, but don't know where to go from here.

I have put recovery.img and boot.img (from stock ROM) into one folder. What is now the command to flash?
[Android General] eojont:
Here is guide for flash tool for mtk

http://droidchina.com/forum/Thread-ROM-flashing-tutorial-for-MTK-chipset-phones

please beware that scatter file and all others files must be in the same pack (folder) normally it should come with the pack as ZIP file (when you unzip there will be a folder contained many file and scatter file is one among them).

If something wrong, you may brick the phone, therefore please carefully sure that the pack of files is the right pack.
[Android General] dio62000:
Thanks again!

Do you know in which folder of the ROM I need to search, I have already searched but can't find the file in any of the ROMs I have downloaded.

Tigger gg ,

you are very details notice. I checked as what your post and found the same as you. But I never care about this also never tried like this for other phone. So, did not know this Is critical failue or not. Or may be the fram e of our phone is not 180 Degree, 5555.
[Android General] dio62000:
Yes, Gravity Box is great. You need to have Xposed installed, at least that's what I did. And if you do so, install PerAppSetting as well, as it's a great tool to set DPI per app. Almost a must for a screen this big!
[Android General] dio62000:
It seems as if the pen is only working when phone is not connected to charger. At least that's the case with my phone :laugh:
[Android General] eojont:
Dear dio62000,

yes, you dig more clues again. After I tried the pen when charging as you said, same result pen did not work. I changed the adapter from original inew to be ipad adapter which has ground also both the same pen did not work confirmed. Thanks for sharing more clues.

But for the lastest original firmware and xperia, lewa fog I tried the pen sensitivity is much much beter compare to the day 1 Original rom.
[Android General] dio62000:
Also, they're going to put up latest firmware here soon:

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Hi pal,

Any roms that recently post in 91firefly.com are good and better than inew stock rom.

Xperia Rom.

Samsung Rom.

Firefly V65 stock Rom.

Lewa frog Rom

Please make sure that , rom you download is updated!

In term of technical support and reliability, I think firefly v65 did much much beter compare to inew.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Thanks , it seems like the new gen Roms (after 7 - Aug) are good for our phone. We are lucky that we can use Firefly Rom:D.

Can you give me a link to what you are using? (inew i6000 16GB/1GB)
[Android General] eojont:
Hi,

actually firefly v65 Is same as inew i6000. So you can use firefly v65 Rom for our phone. There are many roms for firefly v65 You can choose what you like.

Go to www.91firefly.com , it is in chinese therefoe use google translate for english , that's it.

Hope you enjoy playing with many roms.
[Android General] dio62000:
I can't seem to use Google or Bing translate to translate the forum, don't know why. Also, clicking on any link results in '502 bad gateway' or 'page not found'. For me - as non-Chinese speaking- that site unfortunately is useless.

Question

Hello everyone, I have ordered my Inew i6000 about a week ago. My concern is that I am on tmobile. I dont mind the 3g function for tmobile however there are some websites that are saying that this supports the WCDMA 1900mtz which now tmobile is supporting 3g. Are there anyone that has this phone with tmobile that can confirm this. I ordered mines from banggood.com

So would who would recommend this phone..?
[Android General] Batfink33:
IThe build quality is not great. After a week I have got dust in the camera lens, some of the silver paint has rubbed off from around the frame and it just feels a bit plastic i wouldnt keep it in my pocket without a case.BUT for the price the screen looks great, its fast and snappy and easily beats the Galaxy Mega which is much more expensive.
[Android General] dio62000:
I own this phone a few days now and I'm excited. Can't say anything about durability yet, but the advantages are many:

- low priced!

- big screen

- great specs (2 GB/32 GB, quadcore 1,5 Ghz)

- dual SIM (big plus)

- it has a pen that works well (if off USB cable), you can download many note apps from Google Play (right now I'm using Antipaper Notes)

- can be rooted and flashed with CWM / SP Flash Tools (which works different than Odin btw)

- battery life with official Firefly V65 ROM is great for a phone of this size; in standby I'm sure it could last 2 days. Of course when using it it consumes a lot more battery. At normal/intensive use it lasts at least a day.

- the phone is even thinner than my Samsung Note 1

- Xposed is working on the iNew (loads of tweaks possible, which for me is a must! Tweaks like changing density per app, changing colours and notifcation panel)

Some things to consider are:

- camera has the infamous pink spot and it's even rather big. Flash isn´t working great.

- GPS isn't working out of the box, you need to install MobileUncle (free and needed for installing recovery anyway) to get it working for navigation. After that, it's working though.

- I needed to install an app (free) to had the screen automaticallyl turn off when making phone calls

- apps memory is 0,99 GB. That wasn't big enough for me, I had to partition the internal SD card to extend the 0,99 to (in my case) 3 GB.

[Android General] zaraki kenpachi:
I'm not sure if i'm seeing a pattern here but to owners of the inew i6000, can you please confirm this.

When you plug in the usb cable for charging, if it is plugged in "properly", there is red led lighting up near top of the phone, the battery icon in the notification bar says it is charging and the battery reading is accurate. However, if it is plugged in "improperly", the red led doesnt light up but the battery icon on the notification bar still says it is charging. In this case, android "charges" until the meter is 100% but i think the battery is not really actually charged. When you plug it in "properly" only then will you see the correct battery level. This may account for "sudden drops" in battery charge after a supposedly 100% full charge.

The key seems to be that when charging make sure the red led is lit, else it is not really charging.

Can anyone else confirm this?
[Android General] dio62000:
No red light here and charging anyway ;)
[Android General] ziggy1312:

[Android General] Turbojo:
I have bought a Carpad T65 2G/32G and I am impressed with it.

problems I have:

SP flash tool, I cant backup data or int sdcard, earlier part of rom is fine, get alignment errors.

CWM recovery in Chinese.... Firefly and i6000 don't work and cwm builder makes the img larger than partition (6.06mb).

MTK tools makes a recovery but the font is so small I need a magnifier to read it and its an old version.

build.prop has an lcd density of 430 which errors play store, my wife's UMI x2 has a density that is not listed in the build.prop but is 480 and the same apps install fine. If I change the density on this phone to 350 those apps install fine.

No notification/charging light.

Other than that I love it.
[Android General] eojont:
Thanks for sharing, dpi 350 Is really painfull since it has full hd display, small number is making it even very small. Mine set 560 Still not big enough for old man eyes.

I thing carpad has different hardware so, rom can not share with inew or firefly.
[Android General] JohnnyInBriz:
Just found out that the MoreFine S6pro that I have is a clone of the 2/32GB Star/Ulefone U650. The iNew/Firefly roms are incompatible with this phone. If anyone needs a CWM recovery (in English) for it let me know.
[Android General] Turbojo:
Try my CWM rom, it is the only rom on Needrom at the moment for the Carpad T65.

I have finally sorted the CWM recovery, so just the DPI setting (which I think on the UMI X2 is set in the kernel) and SP Flash (on the Cache, Data, and Mass Storage) to sort now.
[Android General] dio62000:
You can change density per app by installing Xposed Framework and PerAppSettings.
[Android General] Turbojo:
I have tried the Ulefone U650 rom from needrom and it works fine on my phone.

I actually prefer it as there is not as many junk apps on it, the icons are all stock JB and the 'reboot, reboot recovery, shutdown' ect all work in Mobileuncletools. Also the DPI is fine and all the apps from Play Store install fine.

I have now modded it so it reports as being a Carpad and all the boot logos are Carpad as well.

There is a newer T65 rom on the 'official' website forum with some bug fixes,dpi and playstore being one of them as well as the voltage drop from 14% to 1%, but still the Mobileuncletools fault remains.

I ported the generic JB icons into the apps and removed all the junk apps. I would just like the reboot issue sorted but I have not got a clue where to start.

Strange Touch Screen behaviour when charging

Hi all !

I saw some complaints about Touch screen precision on the iNew i6000 and felt lucky that mine feels perfect (with Pen AND finger).

I am using a doodle app and/or "Multitouch Tester" to try out those things.

But the i had to charge my new "monstrous beauty" and things got wild...

I was not able to unlock the phone (using a pattern) and when i tried the pen, it was not registered at all.

I thought "OMG, its broken already (got it yesterday)...

I did this and that (reboot, reseat battery, bending the casing) and out of a sudden it worked again.

I then realized that i removed the US Charger to remove the case.

AND: i can reproduce it as often as i like: when i insert a USB charger the screen goes unresponsive / wild, as soon as i unplug it its okay again.

I am NOT using the original stuff as i wanted to leave the package as untouched as possible, but HEY, ITS A STANDARD CHARGER & CABLE, right ?

What do you think ybout this, is anyone else having this ? I am asking myself if there is something broken / loose around the USB connector or if this is "normal" behaviour that maybe changes with a new firmware...

Greetings,

Ender
[Android General] Turbojo:
I have had that problem with every phone I have bought from China. I buy a generic 2A one from the local computer store, strip it open and solder the two centre usb pins together so the phone takes it a being an ac charger. No problems then.
[Android General] enderffx:
Sounds funny, will try later !

Thank you !

By now i am a bit relieved as i tried an OTG Connector (OTG works fine btw).

This has no negative impact on the screen calibration so i GUESS i really can rule out a mechanical / electrical flaw.

Greetings, i will report if your trick works :)

Ender
[Android General] JohnnyInBriz:
I had this problem with my MoreFine S6pro as well. As Turbojo pointed out, many of these chargers don't have the 2 data pins shorted which is required for the phone to recognise a DCP (dedicated charging port). The reason why the touch screen goes crazy is that these phones also support CarKit mode which uses the USB data lines as a simple serial port and when these lines are not connected they can pick up noise from the charger that ends up being interpreted as user input
[Android General] velcomrob:
The battery meter always had problems for me. it would be charged fully but would read 75% charge. I reboot the phone and it shows fully charged.

can anyone who has the u650 phone tell me how quick the GPS locks on it? also if its possible if you can record yourself typing on the keyboard I want to see if it has same problem as mine.

im thinking of buying another and giving this one to my son.

I saw this one also http://www.pandawill.com/thl-w300-s...gb-android-42-otg-15a-fast-charge-p79733.html

THL W300. I guess there are many variations. are they all the same guts?

ulefone u650

thl w300

inew i6000

which others are available? would be nice to have review comparing all to see which has least problems.
[Android General] enderffx:
Hi !

It turns out my SAMSUNG charger has the two inner Pins shorted.

Digititer works great when using THAT charger, but the Stylus does NOT when charging, even using this one. Thats not a problem, i did not use the Stylus on my NOTE 2 too often so pfffft.

Watching my phone it seems that it charges veeeryyyy sloooow, do you agree ?

(Of course a tad faster when i shutdown and charge while its off AND i know that i cannot trust the battery level just now but...).

It doesnt seem to use if i use a 2A or 1A charger so i guess its just a charging circuit that is set to low charge current.

Do you guys agree ? (Again, talking about a iNew i6000 - 2/32).

Now the Problem with erratic Battery level indicator remains but i did a calibration reset and will charge / discharge several cycles before complaining again, lets see....

Thank you for the charger hint, until now i only had LG / HTC / Huawei / Samsung that did not show this behaviour.

Greetings,

Ender

When a USB cable is connected the pen gets unresponsive. This is solved in the latest Firefly V65 firmware.

I may have mis-read your post but I have just flashed a firefly rom downloaded off Needrom onto my u650. Phone boots okay but U650 loses the flip cover's dormancy function.

Also had the chance to compare u650 against Inew 6000 today. The Inew is noticeably heavier than the u650.
