How can i call up the /tmp folder? With adb and then?

Edit: Hope at the horizon.. Formatted SD card, wiped everything what is possible and reinstalled the THL W100 ROM. Now it seems to work.

Edit2: Ludoo, may i say thank you for this port? It's awesome and feels better then stock CaiOS! I love stock Android and this is near close by! Thanks for your help!
[Android General] ludoo:
I'm glad the w100 rom is useful, I ported it because the two phones are very similar, and the thl rom is multilanguage and much cleaner. If you want to customize it, install gravitybox which is awesome, you can find it here on xda.

As for adb, sorry for the late reply, you would have needed to adb shell and tail -f /tmp/recovery.log or adb pull /tmp/recovery.log.
[Android General] ephumuris:
ludoo is it possible to enable AOSP lockscreen on your w100 port? I've made quite a few tweaks to it but that's the last thing bothering me.

It doesn't looks as simple as freezing an apk it seems it may require editing in framework or am i missing something obvious?
[Android General] ludoo:
I tried and did not have much success. :)

The easiest thing would be to use Go Locker, it's free and works very well. Or Milocker for a MIUI feel, or one of the other free lockers on the market.
[Android General] ElbertB:
Indeed, its clean and simple, i gave the phone to my mom and she really love it.

GPS works fine too, found a fix for it and after this i have a quick fix.

I can absolutely say that this phone is worth the money! (€125,- / $165,-)
[Android General] ludoo:
Yes, you need to enable EPO and AGPS, you can do the same from settings / location / click on gps not the checkbox the name, you get a menu page for EPO and AGPS.

At that price it's hard to beat, especially if having a good screen is a priority.
[Android General] ElbertB:
The screen is good, its clear and smooth. Resolution is not 720p but its better for the CPU/GPU to have this resolution but sharp enough for 4,5" devices.

Anyway, its a very very good upgrade from a Galaxy Ace. :P
[Android General] Falysix:
What GPU use this phone ?
[Android General] ephumuris:
ludoo how is the battery on your W200 it's my only concern that's stopping me from ordering one of them as well as my Xiaocai X9!! The X9 only has a 1750mah battery but obviously only 1.2ghz and qHD, i hit an almost unbelievable 6 hours of screen on time!
[Android General] ludoo:
The W200 battery is not great, a pity as everything else is. When watching 720p movies with sw decoding, which is probably the most intensive computing on the phone apart from a few games, I get maybe 3hrs of screen on time. When the phone is off or doing light work battery usage is ok though. I'd say if you are not a heavy gamer you'd be ok.
[Android General] ephumuris:
I'd say 3 hours of screen on time playing 720p is quite good? In normal usage most android phones i've had have managed about 3 hours in normal usage for me. So surprised with the Xiaocai hitting double that somehow?!

Still can't stop eyeing up other China phones though like the W200 :S
[Android General] ephumuris:
I keep reading that the THL W200 has a compass surely this isn't right?
[Android General] ludoo:
It has one, yes.
[Android General] ephumuris:
Are you 100% certain? And it actually works?
[Android General] ludoo:
You can check other forums, there's some talk about that. Anyway yes, it has one, and yes it (mostly) works.
[Android General] Lindsay02:
I see a lot of other sites, THL W200 do have a compass.
[Android General] mfernan80:
Hi ludoo,

I have already my W200 with me (really happy with the purchase, thans for your decision help). The only thing I notices, notification leds are not working when i have missed calls, emails, whatsapp messages, and that all... only when charging battery red led is ON. Is there any way to configure them?

Thanks a lot and regards.
[Android General] ludoo:
Yes, check the w200 thread, it's a simple matter of changing a library in /system/lib/hw
[Android General] ephumuris:
ludoo i think i'm going to end up buying a w200 if you keep talking about it ha ha. Is there a good place for roms, is there a MIUI? Lewa? :)
[Android General] ludoo:
LOL :)

It's a good phone, probably the best price/performance ratio around. There's a thread here on xda, a very complete one as usual on 4pda.ru, one on my "home forum" androidiani.com

There's a MIUI I half ported and our fellow Russian brothers completed, but it has some bugs. But now the cat is out of the bag there will probably be more in the future. The stock ROM is really good though, with GravityBox for customizations you don't need much more.
[Android General] ephumuris:
Is the stock rom more AOSP like than the W100 rom? I'm loving the X9 port you did of it but the lockscreen is simply awful ha ha. My brother is probably buying my X9 and i will be buying a W200.

I barely use navigation but i just feel like i need the compass plus faster processor. Would prefer the W200 specs in a 4.5 inch screen but you can't have everything now can you? :)
[Android General] ludoo:
Yes that lockscreen is really ugly I don't know what THL were thinking. :) There's no such thing on the W200, which has a really clean system. Careful where you buy the W200 though, I've read reports from two different people in two different forums that got a version with the regular MT6589 instead of the MT6589T, so 1.2Ghz max.

The compass sort of works like on most phones, what it does is speed up the GPS fix considerably compared to the X9. As for size, the W200 is pretty thin and narrow for being a 5" phone, and the extra screen estate and resolution compared to the X9 are nice to have. Materials and build are also better.

Looks so cool, the UI and the colors they come in. I'd take that in Blue or white anyday. :D
[Android General] Lindsay02:

[Android General] mfernan80:
It works like a charm... thanks!! Nice thread the one about w200 (sorry not to have read it first). Only pending a good solution for slowness/laggy performance of camera (pictures) in low light.

Thanks again!
[Android General] ludoo:
With the 4.3 camera (here on the apps forum), switching to video and back fixes the low light issue. Don't know if it also works with the stock camera app.
[Android General] mfernan80:
What do you mean with 4.3 camera?? Is it needed to update to Android JB 4.3 to get that camera or is there any way to update camera app without upgrading OS?

Thanks.
[Android General] ephumuris:
ludoo i stripped your w100 port of a few bits and made a few changes for myself. I uploaded it on my Xiaocai X9 thread over on modaco i did credit you with the original port i hope this is ok?

http://www.modaco.com/topic/364495-xiaocai-x9-updated-root-info-benchmarks-etc/

Also where did you order your w200 from again? I'm sure i saw it somewhere...
[Android General] Grandone:
Ahaha, I just have bought an smartphone xiaocai x9 for my girlfriend, waiting for the arrival. :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] blackbeast8:
There is also one good alternative. Ezio i95. I bought it a month ago and I am pretty sattisfied. But...

It says that the cpu freq is 1,8 GHz, but in fact it is 1,2 GHz. MT6589. I opened a new thread for it.

The specs are:

1,8 (1,2) GHz quad core cpu, MT6589 and powerVR gpu

2 GB ram

5" super amoled (excellent screen, i love it)

13 MPx camera (not so good)

The phone looks like S3/S4.
[Android General] ludoo:
Wow, is it really a superamoled? What is its resolution? Judging from specs it looks like a great phone.
[Android General] Augustine02:
With THL W8S configuration is very similar.

Xiaocai X9 screen/digitizer replacement ?

Dear, I just have bought an Xiaocai X9 smartphone for my daughter, but after 4 days, there's a crack in the screen and the buttons no longer work.

Can the screen/digitizer be replaced ?

If so, where can we buy the screen/digitizer, and how can it be repaired (instructions) ?

Thanks,

Hans CHYS
[Android General] Lindsay02:
I suggest that you put the phone back to the merchant and let merchants help you repair, because is still in the warranty scope.
[Android General] blackbeast8:
Full HD, 1920x1080p, 440 ppi.

The screen is excellent. The picture has nice brightness and colors. Watching movies is very pleasant.
[Android General] ephumuris:
Is there a way of repartitioning the internal memory on this like on the W200?
[Android General] Lindsay02:

[Android General] ChysHans:
Xiaocai X9 screen/digitizer replacement ?

Thanks for the answer, Lindsay, but as the problem is probably due to the fact that the phone dropped, this will not be in warranty. So If I could find such spare part, probably I could replace it myself (did it before with other smartpones). Problem is I don't seem to find a way to get hold of the replacement screen :(

All Ideas are welcome...

Lewa OS V5 is out now for our X9!
[Android General] ephumuris:
Can anyone get latest MIUI to install? As i can't install it clean or as an OTA update and it doesn't let me edit out the getprop lines and allow it to flash.

I noticed in updater script some references to tegra3? These were not in there before and the boot.img is a hugely different size too. Almost like it's for a completely different device.

Hello everyone,

I got this phone today, but I can't manage to get it to make calls after I turned on wifi.

Whe WiFi is enabled or disabled again, I lose the ability to make calls, get called or uste my mobile data untile I restart the phone...

I thought it might be an OS problem, so I updated it to newest firmware and after that flased LEWA OS on it, without success.

Do you have any idea how I might fix this?

Thx in advance!
[Android General] ephumuris:
Well it sounds hardware related if it still plays up after testing a custom rom on it, very strange problem.

Xiaocai x9s stuck on startup screen. Only shows xiaocai logo

Hey everyone,

Just got my xiaocai x9s and rooted and attempted to flash a new rom onto it. I must have done it incorrectly and now it won't boot. It gets stuck on the XiaoCai logo and won't go any further.

Is there a way to enter recovery mode on the x9?? eg. holding power button and volume button. I haven't been able to find anything searching...

Otherwise it seems my phone is bricked :(
[Android General] woofleboofle:
Update: x9s now inoperable.

So, just an update on the previous post.

The battery is now empty and cannot charge in the state that the phone is in.

So I really can't do anything at all.

My advice... read very carefully before flashing a new rom onto your phone. Because you can reach the point of no return.

I had to order a new one. 170 dollars thrown away.. yayyy :D

Will post if charging the battery fully will get it into recovery mode. (in case anyone else has the problem).
[Android General] peterhugelberg:
You need to check if you have the updated Xiaocai X9 Version

There are fixed roms vor v2 on android-hilfe.de (a german android forum)

edit: just read your post again. The X9s is a (completely) different device.

The X9 has the mtk6589 and the X9s has the mtk6582

My 2nd Xiaocai X9 - can't get CWM installed

Hi there!

I've been using an X9 for half a year, totally satisfied and when I got it I had no trouble rooting & flashing a new rom (THL W100 port - it came installed with a very ugly skinned android 4.2.1) in minutes.

BUT...now I've received a 2nd one for my girlfriend and this one come comes installed with a very clean version of 4.2.2. - seems like an improvement, if it weren't for the fact that for some reason the battery drains much quicker than my other X9, and this time around I can't figure out how to get CWM recovery on there to install a custom rom.

Rooting did work using Kingo, so it should be possible to get CWM on there. Tried several different things without success: Mobile uncle Tools and SP Flash Tool both seem to load the recovery image succesfully, but whatever I do I can't get into the recovery menu through those apps or by holding volume up and power button after switching off - phone just goes into a loop with the logo screen and then just boots normally...no CWM :(

Any hints or tips?

Model number: X9 (

not

the S version)

Android version: 4.2.2 (rooted using Kingo)

Kernel version: 3.4.5

Thanks a bunch!

So if you're interested in selling your unoperable X9 for eithera small price (I'm not sure I can replace my broken screen, so I will not invest too much in it), or if you're interested in buying my X9 (and use your phone's screen), than both of us will have a good deal ;)

Hi

As you know fix permissions function is eliminated since cwm 6.0.3.5 . so I decided to make an alternative .

I pulled fix permissions function out from cwm/twrp then I made it work as an flashable zip . you can flash this zip easily from recovery and it will perform an exactly same as twrp/cwm fix permissions .

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
Thanks, but this question is probably 'android in general' right? Can i put the phone in recovery (how do I do that? Power+vol up+home?) and ADB into the phone even if there is a screen lock password?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Well sounds like you need to hook it up by using mhl. It basically puts the screen on a tv through a cord. If the screen still registers touches that would be awesome. But if not I wouldnt know how to go about anything further. Because in order for you to hook up a mouse at this point you would need a bluetooth mouse. Because the usb port would be used up by the mhl adapter. Not sure how you would be able to bypass that one and hook up the mouse. Kies also will pull data but that would require the phone be passed the security lock.

You could however try using odin. You can hook your phone up to mhl. Put your phone in download mode. Which is power button and volume down. Hold both until you reach a screen with text. Then push volume up. At that point you can flash the el26 kernel. Which gives you cwm recovery. Then reboot into recovery. Volume up and power. Hold until the recovery screen comes up. From there you can mount your sd cards. And pull data like normal.

Goodluck whichever way you decide.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
Thanks for that.

With ADB, I'd need to be in recovery mode or something right - where the OS is not running / password protected?

So how do I make sure the internal storage is mounted?

Bigjohn save yourself time and do what patrao_n said. That's the best way for you to be able to save your data. The second part with the Odin ids what I mean. It's quick and very useful.

No, as long as Adb recognizes your device you can do it while everything is running.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
Figuring out what he said, about mhl, finding a cable that would do that, and etc. is much HARDER than trying ADB.... he provided no links, just general statements. ADB 'commands' to do this sort of thing are on several forums; just wanted to confirm that it's similar on this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjohn_S:
Interesting.

This is a stock phone without root - so I've heard if you never put the phone in USB Debug enable mode you have to do this with the phone in recovery and mount the sd card, then back it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Ah, sorry I missed that part. Yes, you're correct that you need to do it from recovery. When I get back to my pc I'll double check that the same methods work.
