That's the fb page I created to help those who had not heard of xda and to prevent people invading this thread,it's slowly growing,it would be much appreciated if you guys could visit once in a while to share you're expertise/help with the questions,it's slow moving though,so few visits required,thanks in advance

Personnaly I will not visit it. I'm not (and doesn't want to) using Facebook for (Android) development.

About Androium, [MENTION=5129722]Matx13[/MENTION] has made a blind port of its ROM for Acer Liquid E2. He doesn't own the E3.

So if you have bugs, you should first notice him (he can't test, so he can't know there are bugs), plus, you should help him to found what are causes (or provides all details you can)

and maybe he will be able to fix them.

Updates

I did a lot of updates in the FP/TS:

1 ) Added all new custom ROMs, so please test em, particulary CM 10.1 (and find a new download link for MIUI for E380)!

2) Updated a load of versions in Tools, but also in Root Apps, so please test the main Root Apps if they work please (Kingo, iRoot, Root Genius and Baido)(AT OWN RISK)!

3) Start / help developing CM 11 or even 12 to our E380! Nikagi started 11, but 10.1 is running!?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freec1:
I have found a link to MIUI E380 V4.7.4: in Google.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
I see a LOT of custom ROM developing for our Acer Liquid E3 / E380 / ALE3 going on now in Indonesia (and India)! :laugh::good:

It all seems to happen in a group on Facebook! Get in it!!!

They post all kinds of files and ROMs, like multiple new custom ROMs every week sometimes!

- MIUI 5 for E3 by Artha Bedul, now at version 4.8.29 (JB 4.2.2?)!

- CyanogenMod 10.1 for E3 (JB 4.2.2)(ported from UMI X2)!

- LeWa 6.0 for E380 by Artha Bedul (JB 4.2.1);

More (little) bugs than lower camera resolution and non-functioning Rapid button;

- VIBE for E380 by Artha Bedul;

- Samsung Note3 ROM for E380 by Taufik Adi;

- Sony Experia C ROM for E380 by Awand Mbengi;

- Acer Liquid S5 ROM for E3 by Shinichi.

THANK YOU ARTHA BEDUL AND OTHERS! :good:

[MENTION=1376601]cyclon1978[/MENTION] : Any news? (happy using your kernel) :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
Wow, that's quite impressive. I've downloaded them all, here's the dates on which they were created:

2014-07-04 LEWA ACER E380.zip - LEWA for E380 by Artha Bedul

2014-07-06 VIBE ROM ACER V1.0.zip - VIBE for E380 by Artha Bedul

2014-08-10 CM10.1_Acer380.zip - CyanogenMod 10.1 for E3

2014-10-29 XPERIALE3 By Awand.Mbengi.zip - Sony Experia C ROM for E380 by Awand Mbengi

2014-11-15 Acer S5 by Shinichi.zip - Acer Liquid S5 ROM for E3 by Shinichi

2014-11-19 miui ale3 v4.8.29.zip - MIUI 5 for E3 by Artha Bedul, now at version 4.8.29

So most of it already a few months old... nothing newer? How are they progressing with CM11? I have been using shreps recovery, cyclon1976's kernel, the CM-11 repo and some of the MT6589 sources, but so far haven't been able to build a ROM succesfully. Much harder than expected, but hey - I'm not a developer, so I have an excuse :)...

McAfee warned me about a Trojan Horse (Artemis) in GuardProvider.apk and GameCenterSDKService.apk, not sure whether these warnings are true but wanted to make sure you all know
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Thats suspicious, especially at Apps with those kinda names! And I am already very cautious about using closed source and/or Chinese stuff!!

In which ROM?! Scanned all ROMs thoroughly? Please give us some safety info? I find no threats in CM 10.1 or MIUI 4.8.29 here, with neither Avast or MalwareBytes.

You know some CM11 development for MTK is going on here?

No newer ROM versions, but some updates/extras:

- Awand Mbengi posts a screenshot of MIUI 6 4.11.21 (JB 4.2.2, so fake?) running on our phone!

- They are trying Viper, but it fails time after time (driver problems);

- They are trying/running ColorOS;

- They have some Radio ZIPs (Moly) online, and a deodexed KitKat stock ROM too;

- They are importing the complete looks and Apps of Lollipop to E380, under the name Project L (looks good!);

- Someone else an AnTuTu benchmark score of 32081 (W T F?! Fake?)!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
Sorry, forgot to mention, it was in the miui ROM, see attached.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Very strange. I find nothing in CM 10.1 and MIUI with both Avast and MalwareBytes. But also when I upload those APK files to VirScan.org, all 30 scanners don't hit. Probably false?

Maybe remove those APKs from the ZIP before installation? Is that possible?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
i am currently busy... kernel status is i added some features (frandom for example) and tried to fix media transfer protocol which is super slow on first connect and not working with every driver on linux.

Anyone else having mtp problems? please report windows or linux and whats not working.

to cm12... should be easy to take the kk kernel and repack it for cm12.

the cm12 itself has to be rebuild with the binaries from e3 stock kk - these are different to the ones from a116 for example: http://xdaforums.com/micromax-a116/orig-development/5-0-1-cyanogenmod-12-0-micromax-a116-t2973612

so you just have to...

... make a cm12 compatible kernel (just repack with scripts from a116, maybe some adjustments, i could do that)

... rebuild cm12 with e3 binaries (that is harder and needs much more time...), including a device tree for e3

So if anyone will try to build cm12 i will help with the kernel part.

Greetings,

Andreas
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Timmmmaaahh!:
Finally some exciting times for us ALE3 users! *dance move*

Which ROM should a silly rookie like me go for though? Which is the most stable for every day use? I would guess CyanogenMOD 10.1 from tukangoprek (that does include English, right?)...

By the way, if you guys need anything hosted, I got a 1TB Google Drive which can spare over 500GB to share flash goodness. It would be my pleasure :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
10.1 is in English and runs flawlessly :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Timmmmaaahh!:
I Flashed CM10.1. I do miss some KK goodness (transparent notification bar!) but it's never been so fast! So, I think I'll stick with it until a more stable KK (Lollipop? :D) is released. Proximity sensor calibration crashes. One bigger problem: I have an official Acer flip case and everytime I open the flap, my screen turns on (shows lockscreen), when I close the case the screen does not instantly turn off. I used to turn this feature (flip wakeup) off to save battery but can't find that option now. Can I disable it somehow?

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

AnTuTu tested 15587, seems to be a bit on the low side. Maybe it's the SD card (32GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10) causing limitation as mentioned earlier (post #444).

As the only big brand clone (MT6589) of our E380 is the Sony Xperia C, isn't it possible to clone their Lollipop ROM?

Edit: Excuse me, as Marco stated after me, that ROM is Jelly Bean based, and only upgraded with a lot of Lollipop features/apps/etc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcogiannetta:
Xperia C is still stuck on Jelly Bean.

The rom you linked is based on 4.2.2, it's written in the thread
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Can anyone alread tell me why the F it is still impossible (since KitKat!!!) to change my bootanimation?!

In JB it was easy, and in KitKat it should also be:

A) Install a bootanimation from a ZIP (ment for installation!) in CWM;

OR

B) Copy (and rw-r--r-- the file) bootanimation.zip (ment for copy!) to /system/media (after renaming/removing the existing one).

Both used to work, but now I do not get any animation to work?! Tried some differtent methods and ZIPs and resolutions (in ZIPs) of the Lollipop ani, but no luck?!

Also tried to find the flag to NOT show any bootani in the build.prop but it ain't there so it should show one!

Anyone?!

Ps. [MENTION=1376601]cyclon1978[/MENTION] Can you remove the Acer bootlogo from the kernel, or replace it by the Android Lollipop standard one? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
no experience with bootanimation.zip, but:

1. can you check whether the file got actually replaced with the new one by opening some of the jpgs in the zip/part0 folder?

2. no idea whether it would matter, but what's the owner & group of the zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcogiannetta:
You can try with ROM ToolBox, it has a function to change bootanimation or disable it. It's on the Play Store.

I use it on my Liquid E2 with the rom kitkat of the E3, so it should work for sure
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
I've just installed the android eats Apple boot animation using Rom toolbox pro on the S5 kit Kat rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Yes checked those before. Just seems like a protection, or a change of resolution needed in KK?!

Lemme try Toolbox (Id rather keep my phone empty and clean, but ok) ;) ROM Toolbox asks for every permission in the book. A no go for me :/

Ps. On the Indonesian E380-forum at FB, a user called Kenji posted a screenshot of a running 4.2.2 MIUI v6 4.12.28!

URGENT Y-Axis reversed / mirrored

URGENT, PLEASE HELP:

I bought a replacement digitizer/glass for my E380 as it has been broken (only the glass) for months now. It has a different chip but has the Acer brand on top.

Problem: I placed the new digitizer and all touch is REVERSED / MIRRORED! Up is down and down is up So Y-Axis (or X?) must be reversed now :(

PLEASE help me (asap) to do this! A lot of people replacing their glass have this problem on the internet, and a lot of fixes are available. From script.bin methods to running calibration apps or modding kernels and/or installing other drivers.

It is impossible to use my phone now, but ADB is working fine. Anyone who can give me the solution to fix by ADB (or Recovery)??

Can it be as simple as echo 1 > /sys/modules/tpd_settings/parameters/tpd_mode_axis or something like that somewhere like that?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vache:
Did you try to flash a full ROM with SPFT ?

Also you give this command : echo 1 > /sys/modules/tpd_settings/parameters/tpd_mode_axis

Did you try it ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Thanks but I would like to keep my current ROM/data etc if possible. Yes I tried the echo 1, but no effect. So I don't know where to else echo it to, this file is just one I 'found' myself, but most ROMs/drivers are stating filenames like lcd_reverse_axis etc so where do I need to echo it to??

Some people mention touchscreen calibration as a very simple solution. How can I start it from ADB?! And is there a recovery with calibration or reverse built in? (our CWM seems to have neither)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
Are the touch buttons working correct?

Greetings,

Andreasd
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Nope, thats why it is unusable now.

The screen is working fine (in Chinese test mode at boot) but both axis inverted!

The chip on the connection ribbon seems different, but it seems only the axis has to be reversed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
http://d-h.st/wmt

if it changes something - its the right driver. so test if the input is reversed, i just recalculated x as 480-x and y as 800-y, might do the trick.

but i fear the buttons will not be fixed anyway, they are different and should not be changed.

If nothing changes then i changed wrong driver...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
It did change some things! But we're not quite there yet.

I also made a mistake: Left & right was/is OK, only up & down is reversed, so only the Y-axis?

Before I could use the whole screen (which was very exact and responsive, but all inverted!). No touch buttons. Seems the touch area is only shifted or squeezed now, but up is still down etc

Now I can only use the bottom left 1/4 (almost nothing above the touch buttons).

If I press the middle touch button, it shows left middle dot of 3x3 pattern lock. If I press left touch button, it shows middle pattern dot.

Up/down is still reversed.

I THINK it should be only a matter or some flag of reverse axis or something somewhere, like a lot of people on the net do. Google for script.bin and script.fex if you want, and youll see that.

(THANKS A LOT for helping, as I have NO usable phone now!)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
http://d-h.st/Eaeh

it will calibrate itself,

if (max_y < y) max_y = y;

y = max_y - y;

so it will react better if you touch the maximum of y axis (just touch in every edge of the glass or swype all around)

after a little while it should work nearly perfect.

but if x is y (i assumed y is up/down) all will be crazy ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Thanks! We are getting closer!! As you/we expected it does calibrate itself because of the max Y-values! After a few swypes the screen area is FIXED (correct area and left/right and up/down are correct)!. Almost there!!

BUT, as you said; the three touch buttons are now disabled/not working still!

They CAN, but now are a touch at the bottom of the screen area (I turned on visual touches)(and because in your first testkernel for me, the left button was middle pattern lock dot etc).

Obvious, because you made the max Y of the touch area corresponds with the outer limit of the screen. You 'overlap/override' the button area with screen area I guess.

Probably we HAVE to set a max Y, and below that 'add the buttons' er something like that?!

Any way to see now what my maxes and settings are (live)(for your info)? And can you tell us where all your magic finds place or why this happens? Is it not needed to load another driver (other chip layout on the digitizer ribbon is visible)?

Damn we're close. I almost can use it again :good::laugh:

Thanks man youre my only hope right now: I cannot call or be called, and if not fixed in 2 days or so I was planning on buying a Moto G LTE/4G (but I dont WANT TO, wanna stay with you guys ;) )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
New version: button recognition is unchanged (was included in swap in last version)

only coords in screen are swapped.

might work or not...

if something is still wrong:

adb shell su -c "cat /proc/kmsg" > dmesg.log

less dmesg.log|grep "mtp-tpd"

and there you see the touched coordinates.

... note x/y values for all visible screen edges, after that for each button center and give me the values...

Button 1 should be 150 / 1400

Button 2 should be 400 / 1400

Button 3 should be 580 / 1400

Screen should be from 0/0 up to 719/1279

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Before your edit:

YES, this seems getting better and better. You're almost my hero :good::good::good:

Touch is right on (just a tiny little off at the bottom) and working correct in the correct area.

Buttons though still not working and when pressed showing a touch at the screen bottom still.

Seems it still thinks the button area is also screen area though.

Lets move our (my) problems to this thread, so we don't bother the general E380 thread no more, and other searchers at XDA can be helped by your info!

EDIT: After a LOT of work and custom kernels by [MENTION=1376601]cyclon1978[/MENTION] it is FIXED! Visit the topic mentioned above.

I just wanted to let you know that I have just successfully rooted my wife's double sim e380 (with official KK 4.4.2) with Kingo Root ver. 1.3.1.2217. Of course, I don't have a custom recovery, but I don't need it for all I wanted was to install Xposed Framework. Just there are some problems with Better Batter Stats then - it hangs the phone while booting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
BIG news inc Lollipop

BIG news update:

0) Kingo Root (1.3.1.2217 tested; thanks Peri Noid) again works as a simple Root by App;

1) Lollipop 5.0 custom ROM is mentioned in the Indonesian E380 FB group!

(HOAX, downloads are adwared, copied from other phone models and no author!)

2) MIUI v6 4.12.28 is made available by Kenji Zefaneo Hanson in the Indonesian E380 FB group!

3) Lenovo phones are often very much the same (S820 IS the same) as our E380. Read their forums and let's keep an eye out for Lollipop updates/builds/ROMs!

Ok guys, start testing! Help us by finding a CM 11 (or 12/Lollipop ;) ) ROM, like here at NeedROM.com! The Lenovo A- and S-series are quite similar (see my updated list, bottom of first post).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
I have not downloaded the Lollipop ROM because I have seen those screens many times before and previously they turned out to be crap. Just the device name is different, but it is the same text and screenprints... So... I doubt it's true :(

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
How dig you mod these? Especially removing Acer lock I'd like to do on other devices too...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
My personal Rom. If you miss some apps just move the apk files from Fixpack-b (original Acer kk) to my Rom. I removed some apps installable from market and some apps from acer.

Always make a backup with clockwork and titanium backup (for restoring data of apps I removed if you reinstall from market).

And the best is... coming from kitkat no wipe is required, all user data should be there - with exception of the apps I removed of course.

http://d-h.st/13Xl

Acer lock screen and Acer recent is disabled via build.prop, both containing ACER. In stock kk they are true, just set to false.

Menu key mod is done with android policy jar, feel free to reuse it.

Btw: all odex files are deleted in this Rom, they are not required, KK Rom is deodexed.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Very sorry to say so, but after being VERY enthusiastic about our Acer E380 phone, I get more and more irritated.

The phone is still a very very high value for money, and one of the best in its price category. This is why I have/had a hard time to find a (different) replacement for it if my annoyance continues.

Phones I considered include the Moto G 4G (EU: XT1039) and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-9195).

Final contendors now are however the Lenovo Golden Warrior/Gladiator A8 (EU: A806), and the even nicer (Xiao)Mi RedMi 2 which has very new (Qualcomm, non-MediaTek) chips (64-bits / 4G), dual SIM and a nice OS (MIUI 6.0) and a very good camera in a 'small' and cheap phone!

Reasons I would leave my E380 for now (in this order):

My (non-Gorilla) screen was broken FAST;

Cheap replacement screen now (instead of 100 euro at Acer) with a 'wrong chip', so touch had to be kernel-fixed (by [MENTION=1376601]cyclon1978[/MENTION]) but is still ANNOYINGLY off;

It is FULL all the time, even though I have a 16GB SD, and install or Link2SD all Apps on SD, so updates and new Apps are always refusing & crashing;

Camera is not as good (anymore?) as I hoped;

Double lockscreen (when using pattern lock) and a lot of bloatware;

No 4G;

No Lollipop?

Questions about storage / Link2SD / Apps2SD:

Why does Link2SD (and/or the App) crash when an App is runned after install and autolink with Link2SD and then disappear after reboot?!

Why do new Apps crash when installed and linked after a reboot first?

Why do new Apps complain about no space while my internal has 210 MB free, and SD partitions have gigabytes?!

How do I best set these 3 settings: In Settings > Storage > Install Auto / Internal / SD? In Link2SD autolink (all file types?) or not? In Link2SD the Apps2SD setting to Auto / Internal / SD?

Ps. ANYONE here who can install and run SleepBot without problems?! Crashes on a java.lang.illegalargumentexception it seems. I cannot get it to work in any way of install... (it's not updated for a long time, but seems to be the best/only free App that does a great job in sleep tracking / smooth waking / sleep recording etc.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kissman21:
i have same feelings... critical for me is support for link2sd or ext script.... but I cannot find any usable solution or fix :(
