[Xolo Q700, Q700i] blade_boy:
From where did u buyed this phone?
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] chandrudme:
indiatimes shopping.. they offer 12% discount on all mobiles...
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] blade_boy:
Did discount available on COD?
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] haneesh@andriser:
does dis mobile support usg mass storage mode.its being charged and is not asking for any options wen i connect it to pc.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
Of course... every phone supports it.

After connecting, pull down notification and choose connect USB device...check in the option whether mass storage is selected or not.

Press thanks for help
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] JoKerOnDroid:
If you pull down the notification then you can see there are option of USB mass storage, Media Device(MTP), Camera(PTP), Charge only.

Select any one of the option preferably Media Device(MTP) because it mount both internal as well as external(SD) card on pc.

But for that option you must have xolo usb driver install on pc.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] chandrudme:
yes COD works...

[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
Some of the options are not needed for normal people...it's for spotting issues.

Main is USB debugging which should be already checked... click on it for details.

Then comes animation speed...lower value faster animation.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] haneesh@andriser:
is there any app for android os through which we can extract the apks of the files installed from play store.and is der anyway to change theme effects.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
Use ES file explorer...go in it's app manager and make a backup....you'll get apk.

Which effects?

And you should hit thanks if your question is answered.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] haneesh@andriser:
i mean the "transistion effects" like menu open and close,app open and close effects.i want to change them because i have used symbian mobile till now and i used to change these effects,and i hope there will be a method to change in android too.as u know these effects can be changed in go launcher,solo launcher etc,then y not in default launcher.wat do u say.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] chandrudme:
is there a separate firmware to be downloaded to flash Q700i ROM? I've seen links only for the ROM..
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
You can change in default launcher too...but you will then have be deodexed and must know little bit about replacing files inside PNG.

if you have made nandroid backup, you can try ROM toll box pro for that

Can't enter Recovery mode second time

Hi there,

Pritam here, I followed the procedure to root and install CWM in your blog: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=41960583, the rooting works permanently but recovery worked for the first time, but the next time I try to enter the recovery mode it says ‘No Command’ and enters some diff recover mode that is not of CWM.

Please Help. Thanks

[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
Dude what's your problem...that's a branded phone available across the world.They have their kernel and Rom sources...they can build from scratch.

On other side we got nothing... the only major thing we have done till now is porting good ROMs + we don't have that many devs here as are for Lg.

Have a life dude....if you are so much after development then why the hell you bought this phone...go buy nexus or HTC.

[Q700]XOLO_Q700_S016_20131025 Update

For those who are on Custom ROMs to have upgrade..!!

This is the latest OTA update released by XOLO to solve the camera low light rainbow patches problem.

Steps:

Download the File [ http://goo.gl/xx4Ltb ]

Copy the file to SDCard

Rename it to update.zip

Go to Settings > About Phone > Check Updates

Install and reboot.

Note:

Update is having install-recovery.sh script. So if you have CWM, definitely it is going to overwrite. Install CWM after this. If rooted, chmod 644 install-recovery.sh

2- does Vol down+power button still work for screenshot?

3- does usb otg work?

4- may i follow this procedure for flAsh?

if theres something wrong with this procedure then may sum1 who has gone through all this flashing procedure plz write a gud tutorial?

i am very confused wid all the different versions of tutorials lying around net.

U see in step 7,in some tutorials they say to select "firmware upgrade"

But in this tutorial either options can be selected.thats why i feel confused.

so need a 100% trustworthy tutorial before i take a plunge into this geeky flashing world.

So i request sumbody to write a foolproof flashing tutorial for our handsome nd gorgeous xoloq700 so that Bricks Horror stories remain just stories nd never become real for us xolo q700 users:o

Dear bro I am install q700i ROM in my q700.

Its works fine,but one problem does not support Xolo switch application.

Please help me.

(I want Xolo switch application)
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
What's the error
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] vakaav:
Xolo Switch application works only on Q700 ROM. That is the reason that Q700 ROM has disabled apps being moved to SD card (since SD card can be read by any user, you cannot restrict apps by user).

So, choose between apps on SD card with Q700i ROM or Xolo Switch, you cannot have both at this point.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] sayannayas:
Really Great Job

Really great job prateek ....hats off to you.I feel bad when people comments against this developers.Reporting Bugs,rasing question,enhancement ideas are good for any thread to be active but abusing a developer is a really bad taste guys.If this guys are not genius at least they are very close to it.you can try yourself as first step just try themeing a ROM see how hard it is,then we can have an idea how to make whole new custom rom.

Each features of ROM needs attention(which is just a list in OP for us),which needs a good knowledge of programming.I am developer but never built any rom but from my point of view this guys are really good at what they do.And lastly guys you get all this free!!...I think they deserve respect for the time and effort they spend for us guys.Any way I saw few of raised concern how to play big games,I generally use a combination of link2sd and folder mount,you can use my below method if you like

Prerequisites

1.Rooted

2.LinKs2sd

3.Folder Mount

4.Mini Partition Tool

Steps

1.First you have to root.Otherwise none of the below methods can be granted su.

2.Take a microsd card preferably a blank one,make two partitions and both as primary.Format the second one with ext4,yes! xolo supports the latest format.

3,Now open link2sd ,choose ext4 partition and let it reboot.

4.Once boot completes goto app analyser and do create link(normal move to sd card will NOT work,LINKING will work)

5.But after this also you will be able to move the apk,user data only.To move OBB or data folder you have to use folder mount.Just install folder mount and move the folder to the other partition of the sd card.

So it will be like this

SD Card (16 gb)---->Partition A( say 8gb fat32)--->for folder mount(for mounting data/obb folder)

---->Partition B( say 8gb ext4)--->for link2sd(for mounting the apk and library files)

One thing more I forgot mentioning,it is not necessary to keep obb file first in phone and then use folder mount to mount them in to sdcard. you can create a new link in folder mount option and link the folder from sdcard>andriod>obb><game name> to intenalmemory>andriod>obb><game name>

Please Press Thanks If I have helped you.

Question 1- When I run command "adb devices" in cmd.exe, the device id is given as 0123456789ABCDEF device. Is this correct? are my USB drivers still properly installed?

Question 2 - When I connect phone in switched off mode and open device manager, the com port shows Device connected and working properly and in the next moment shows that device is disconnected. Is this OK? the driver shown is Mediatek Preloader VCOM port, dated 30-May-11 , version 1.1123.0, Not digitally signed...

Question 3 - When I connect the phone by removing the battery, it gets connected (red led glows) and then disconnects a moment later (red led stops). Is this a problem? Or the phone should stay connected?

[Xolo Q700, Q700i] codeVerine:
If it is a serious problem, then implement this feature inside a single contacts detail menu. There are no tabs, and you can swipe on different numbers of a single contact precisely. After swiping you can either display a sim selector menu or take the action using default simcard. ( I think the latter one is the best).

Another feature request is replace those scary looking xolo emoticons with something looking nice ( please avoid android default green droid emojis too).
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
I don't thing we will be able to add that as they are just single sim supported
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] nattysinister:
There is a way to do that using FolderMount.

All you have to is have enough internal space for just installation and then the data will be moved to sd card.

So all you have to do is:

Install game in internal storage and copy the data or obb folder to the phone storage.

Install and open folder mount.

Check out the options of Foldermount(I haven't used for a long time and don't really remember the options). There must be a option to select the apps to move to sd card.

Select the app for example: NFS mw and select the present and desired location of storage and proceed.

That's it done.

Also if you are talking about incorporating this functionality of moving to sd card in your ROM than i think you are on a long hard path(could be messy) because there isn't much help from any other developers and there have been people who have messed with void.fstab and messed their phones.

Plus I will vouch for the Audio enhancements such as XLoud and Beats if thy reallymake a difference. You can start a poll and i guess most of us will want audio enhancements.

EDIT:

Also someone asked about the slide to call and message feature in phone app. I don't think you can add this to stock phone app without too much messing. So instead use PixelPhone pro or EX Dialer. Both are brilliant apps.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
What if you are not not satisfied by beats and want to use equalizer of PowerAmp?

If I add 1 audio enhancement then it'll conflict will all other.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
Guys so here's my process to make your stock ROM a really blowoff ROM .

Let's start.

Root is prerequisite.

1. Download Universal init.d Support apk.

2. Download xposed framework.

3. Download Pimp My ROM beta.

Till now you need this.

Sow your presence by hitting thanks and comment below if you installed these.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] nattysinister:
Yes thats true. But thats why making a full-fledged universal Rom is so difficult.

Or(try not to be offended) maybe according to you 100s of developers are fools adding these mods in their Roms and also thousands users using those roms and also dedicated developers who actually made these sound mods.

But anyways it's your work and your wish. I don't have the ability and time to make these things, so please keep up the good work. We all appreciate it. I will let my suggestions flow in.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] androiderwithpurpose:
Thanks

Thanks for arranging all the information regarding xolo q700 at one place. I was waiting for this sort of place in xdaforum for so long.Keep up the good work.

Cheers!!!!:good::highfive:
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] coolprateek.kumar:
Why do you read just the 1st post....go through the comments and see that users are asking the way to uninstall mods.

I have experience of 3 phones development dude that's why I'm telling.

If I add some audio mods then your powerAMP might also crash.

You may say you don't use it but Hey! You are not the only one using the ROM.

What if you don't like beats audio and want Dolby 3d sound...you will be helpless as both can't work together. Go through the audio mod pages ...author clearly tells that it'll conflict with other mods.
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] nattysinister:
Ok. Agreed. But thats the point. We can't get everything and everyone happy. Some do want sound mods(me too) and some don't. So do your best. Glad to see someone finally working on Q700.

Best of luck.
