Ok maybe I will, but can anyone post all changes made by this update (see my signature for current/actual info)?

If Im right I only see a couple of (Google) App-updates (i.e. Maps), and small WiFi and radio (P47 > P51?) updates?

Users report me that Kingo root IS REMOVED in this update and is NOT working again afterwards!

BUT GPS is FIXED and fast now, users report!

AND maybe there is a camera fix in it, because I do see some camera files too! Please check!?

PS. See my last message. This is the code thats causing the problem for me (quoted from updater-script)(which is very strange because values in build.prop ARE EQUAL!):

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");
assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "acer/e3_emea_gen1/acer_e3:4.2.2/JDQ39/1395914352:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "acer/e3_emea_gen1/acer_e3:4.2.2/JDQ39/1401428085:user/release-keys");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "acer_e3" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "acer_e3");
assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "e3_emea_gen1");

Maybe voodoo OTA rootkeeepr could work.

As for the root, the best method remains the supersu flash through CWM guess.

It's a pain to reflash stock and then CWM but it usually works.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Voodoo used to work yes, so can someone try and confirm?

I would really really like a CWM 6+ version for our MediTek phones (small recovery partition!) which fits!

It's probably the old version we are/I am using (5), thats causing the Status 7 error (assets checking phone id / version).

Even if I remove the asserts and toggle signature AND assert check OFF, it gives the Status 7 or just an "Installation aborted".

Let's go and try to make a CWM recovery 6+ for our phone (6MB or smaller!)! The one with CWM 6+ on his E380 makes me VERY happy :)

The standard builder site by CWM makes a recovery thats to big (6,5MB) to fit on our phone :(

Carliv maybe, but I don't trust the executable that alters my stock img, and connects to my rooted phone?

TWRP (for clone Oppo R819) is also way to big (6,6MB). :(

No working clone recovery port found yet (Xolo, ZTE, Huawei etc) from the net / XDA. Also with autosearch function in Mobileuncle (in the App > Recovery Update) no working alternative yet. So only my own custom made MTK Droid version and the stock Acer version are working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
I did revert back to the stock Acer (3e) recovery, and did the update successfully!

Root IS removed, and I added all changes to the topic start (new section Update History):

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
Hi [MENTION=2268917]hackwerk[/MENTION]

Just a reply to let you know I posted on acer-club.fr about the E3

http://acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=245&t=9651&p=43048

& http://acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=245&t=9646

Maybe it could interest some people here ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Well thats interesting, but when you rip/copy all my/our work (inc files!), it's decent to thank and state your source with name (Hackwerk) and URL!

Besides that, why would it be useful to start multiple threads about exactly the same topic?!

Maybe it's a better idea to stop your thread, and mention we will continue here??

(Btw, I do thank you for the changelog of the last update! I will use that if I may. Whats your source?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
The sources are mentionned (bottom of the post) for the CWM/Root thread.

I will add credits for your CWM image (the only one file I copy), but all of others file are not from here.

And, I will not stop my thread, it's on a French forum :) (not everybody are English spoken ;) )

You can add the Changelog here, and you can also link the ROM dump if you want. (Having a Full ROM version 1.012 is usefull to recover a softbrick device ;) )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Which images or files do you really need (and for what?)?

I will then make em for you soon.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Di@mond:
Dont know if this has been covered already here.....but....

If any of you are like me, and delete most of the bloatware on your phones, its going to have a problem with the OTA Updates.

To fix, Just download the SYSTEM file from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52466380&postcount=26

and extract the app folder, then using root explorer, replace all the missing files located in the /system/app location on the phone.

I uploaded a copy of the new update HERE. Place file on sd card root/alu Update should run after reboot and file will be deleted after update is complete.

Original Firmware UK 3 network

OTA Update Version

P.s : Root is gone after update. Kingo v1.2.2 was working before this update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Yes this was known, and all (version) info is already in the topic start.

Kingo has personally confirmed to me they have NO working exploits for root in our new kernels (as of now, Kingo 1.2.2 and our Acer update of 20140606)!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Di@mond:
Sorry hackwerk, I must have missed that updated post. I'm glad the camera focusing has been fixed as I was about to return the phone as a fault and get a replacement. ;)

Is anyone have any issued with Swype as I always get a force close when trying to use it. My wife has the same phone and Swype is no longer there after the update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
Jeez dude,gonna burn me chip out keeping up with ya lol,downloading now,personally,I would give the Rom a name though,I've tested them all and this one is unique in many ways regarding this device,speed,fluency,smoothness,etc,you're work should be recognized properly,hmmm,I don't know,maybe cyclone Rom or something,it's definitely powerful and it's gaining momentum lol

Some (sad?) news from my side boys (and girls?):

I broke my screen AGAIN. Reason for me to order a XiaoMi RedMi 2 phone (which has 4G, Gorilla glass, Snapdragon CPU (64-bits) and GPU, Quick charge, 8GB and MIUI 6.0 (soon Lollipop) etc.).

My E380 will be my secondary phone, so I will spend a little less time in our forum. I will try to keep up etc but I think with great users like cyclon1978, shreps, vache and all the other frequent contributors, the forum will stay in good hands :D

No goodbye, but nevertheless THANKS AGAIN to all you guys! Go on!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Camera Apps in our E380

And 2 other things, maybe a little offtopic:

I am having a discussion elsewhere, if systems like (Qualcomms) Quick Charge (1.0) are only simple the matter of connecting a high current (2A+)(so power 10W+) charger (with a good USB-cable) to a Quick Charge or Flash Charge or Fast Charge (etc etc) enabled phone, OR that there is special technology (circuit) IN THE CHARGER too (so only certified loaders are possible, like they want me to buy)?

Edit: Here some tech info on QC 2.0 which DOES seem to be different and really specific (9V, duh).

Second thing is; Which camera to use?! I read a lot of reviews etc, but whats the 'best' non-pro and free one for our E380? I would just like to make selfies and holiday pics etc. with some simple options and features, but best simple shot.

Can we be happy with free open apps like Focal or Open Camera?

Or do we really need the most mentioned Google Camera, A Better Camera, Camera FV-5, Camera Zoom FX, Camera MX, 360Camera or HD Camera? Anyone tested multiple?

Really curious!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
About the camera, I recommend the AOSP MTK Camera which is kind of optimised for MTK Phone (also available in some MIUI ROM)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
So we already use the best? Did you do comparisons/tests?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
I made test mainly on the V370 (a year ago), not E380. But because they are very close, I think it's still relevant.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
I did a lot of updates on the first post. Mainly a lot of version updates (Root tools), but also added the great custom ROM (MyROM?) by [MENTION=1376601]cyclon1978[/MENTION].

Big surprise for me was to find that the MTK2000 site where we always get our newest SP Flash Tool, now started to charge money for the newest version (5.1512.0) although you can Google it in no time!

AND MTK released a Linux version! A lot of good updates by MediaTek!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
Nice :)

BTW, I updated my global Liquid post with many E380 Stock Firmwares

Don't hesitate to reference them :)

Removable Apps

Can we create a list of all (System) Apps we can safely remove?

I would really like to create space and get rid of all this Acer bloatware and unused Google things, but on all sites and in Titanium they warn you for damaging and disabling your complete system so I do not dare to do so now :(

I just took the risk and removed these:

Acer Hotspot	com.acer.app.easyhotspot

Acer Cloud	com.acer.ccd

Google Play Games	com.google.android.play.games

GooglePlus	com.google.android.apps.plus

Google Play Books	com.google.android.apps.books

Google Play Films	com.google.android.videos

It went very well (in Titanium) and freed up 200+ MB which makes my free space now 450MB! At LAST I can update all my Apps without errors (no space)!

More (useless) Apps to remove?

To add DTS your customs roms, I made a tutorial;).

http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/220148-tuto-dev-intégration-dts-sound/

The license must be replaced by that of E3 "data/dts.lic"

Please credit me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Thanks for your work, and not be an a-hole, but why would we like to credit you for RE-adding bloatware? :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
DTS is not a bloatware :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hi, awesome developers of the world!

Please take this in the most respectful way possible. I've noticed some tutorials and provided resources lacking an English translation. Just like the recent post by Matx13 on DTS integration, it is difficult for non-French speaking developers to understand it fully. Surely you can run a link through Google Translate but we all know it's not the same.

French is a beautiful language, so are many languages, but when it comes to coding it is useless. The reason why XDA only tolerates English is to create a uniform platform where everyone understands each other. Partly because of that, XDA has become one of the (or THE?) largest Android developer communities in the world.

I have been lurking these grounds for a while now and seen grand coders making great efforts translating their tutorials, even though they struggle a lot to get it right. How can you expect credit if you do not make the effort to provide proper translation, avoiding XDA standards? If you can't do it, please ask someone to. We're a community for a reason. I'd gladly translate Dutch posts/tuts/etc. if anyone wants me to.

Just sayin'.

On a more positive note, I'd like to thank all the developers whom participated directly or indirectly in this thread to make a "less important" device as the ALE3 still meaningful, against all odds. If it weren't for you guys, my phone probably would've landed in the trash ages ago. It's still running very smooth on CM 10.1. Thank you! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
First of all, what are we talking about?

I guess the silly equalizer which I never use because all sounds worse after turning the knobs, and not a codec so we can watch a very limited number of DTS audio movies on our tiny screens, or?

Either way; It takes space and memory in our yet limited phones, and it really annoys me that every time I play some sound, this unwanted pop-up shows on my task bar and in my running Apps memory, even AFTER I shut down the sound App! Crazy, and I don't even have it turned on!? :(

Ps1. The ONLY advantage I see in using DTS is that it boosts the sound level, which is not needed because I use an external speaker or headphones. And it should be possible to boost to the max without an equalizer App? Why would we need this more than the good old DSPManager or Equalizer, Music Volume EQ, Bass Booster etc.?

Ps2. I agree with Tim. Please stop creating more forums/sites/tutorials/code in other languages than English. French is NOT the biggest/only language in the world even though the French tend to think so ;) I am Dutch, but for me creating this thread in Dutch would be just plain silly (and arrogant).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
Guys,

DTS is not bloatware but I agree it can be quite annoying. I am happy to see someone took the time to extract it and make instructions on how to include it, if you still want to be able to use it (I personally use it because I watch series on my devices and sometimes they do include the sound in DTS :(). So much appreciated [MENTION=5129722]Matx13[/MENTION]

It's in French because it's on another forum. Let's not discuss that. If you want it to be in English, please take the time to do it yourself. If you don't... just leave it like it is and be happy someone took the time to point out the possibility of adding something you had before and might still appreciate :)

One more comment: I speak/read/write Dutch, English and German. My French is horrible, but I can still manage to reproduce all instructions on frandroid and acer-club.fr posted in many of these forums. I can even use stuff I find in Russian and Chinese forums. Don't forget these devices are originally Taiwanese ;). I manage all these languages because of a free service: http://translate.google.com which works good enough to understand what is meant in the instructions :p

Regards,

Nika.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Matx13:
No comment, FrAndroid is FRENCH.

Hello, I installed this fw, and wiped everything out and all I can say is that it works great. Speed and battery are really good.

But there is one thing which temporarily made me go back.

Titanium Backup gives me "parsing errors" while restoring. So I had no other option than going back.

Do you have an idea?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hey Aslando! You're currently posting in the developer part for the E380. There is a dedicated Q&A part for troubleshooting (you can switch between the two top left). The answer to your question might be in my post here. Mine didn't give any specific errors though, it either just kept on restoring indefinitely or the restore worked but corrupted the app. There are many variables within Titanium you can play around with to make things work, it's quite resilient :)

New Kernel 8.115 for my KitKat source rom. (might work on stock KK rom or other custom KK roms, but not tested)

Changelog

- kernel optimizations increasing

-- ram operation, cpu float point, 2D graphics,

-- battery life increased (using Timer Slack Controller)

and some more i forgot, but works all out of the box.

http://d-h.st/rTuL

to customize check /system/etc/init.d/ but with no changes you just get a antutu boost of 250-500 points (depending on your old kernel/configuration)

it comes with init.d script, so if you have some of yourself check if they conflict! (remove yours - except super su daemon, install kernel, check and optimize)

New ROM V3.0.015

Hello,

i updated to a newly found rom base from mediatek.

We are now at ALPS.KK1.MP7.V1.5.

Many bug fixes, performance increases (2D graphics for example), ...

but one bad news: YOU NEED TO CLEAN USER DATA (from recovery), SO ALL USER DATA IS LOST but can be restored.

So:

- use Titanium Backup to backup and restore all user app data, WLAN access points, etc.

- use SMSBackup+ to backup and restore SMS/MMS

Do a full backup with clockworkmod, just in case.

All prior mentioned features are included.

KERNEL INCLUDED - IT IS THE BEST FOR OUR DEVICE; SO DO NOT FLASH OLDER/OTHER KERNELS!

There will be no updates to the old rom version so i suggest to update.

Please report back if it is working for you or any bugs found.

Changelog:

- Bug fixed with lockscreen not showing up in first version, sorry - please download new version

Mirror 1 http://d-h.st/5SAT

Mirror 2 https://anonfiles.com/file/0658d32625e2d87014cf9de372d24585

Updates from any 3.0.xxx version do not need a clean install.
