I haven't tried, because i hate to have some ghost pixels covering my screen. Do it have transparent action points? I haven't found a better app than Swipepad, but I'm always looking for something better (and new).

This is the problem with Chinese phones. One model will hardly be popular enough to merit an exclusive board. We will never have one of the ROM gurus working on our device, to make a moded kernel or ROM. Sight.

The only answer is to go to Chinese boards, but so far I haven't found a good source of mods and ROMs, aside of the ones at Luftco, needrom or Chinaphonearena.com

But my guess is that this lack of developers will change really quick.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

Hello,

As I wrote last week, this weekend i spent a few hours reinstalling Luftco's 4.4.2 ROM on my AoneX, so I'd be able to install team biscuits modded 4.4.2 zip.

These were my steps (all install were do it as usual, wiping clean the phone and clearing caches):

1. Installed using flashtools the 4.4.2 ROM

2. Used VRoot to gain root.

3. Made a CWM recovery using MTK Droid Tools

4. Installed the 4.4.2 biscuits zip ROM from recovery.

5. Enjoying a faster phone. Not by much, but noticeable enough.

6. Becoming frustrated for this:

a) no working proximity sensor. I'm beggining to think I have a faulty one.

b) A pain to restore my apps, as I don't know why, I used three different apps to store my data to my SD card, and even then, neither of the three programs could restore my settings and data. I used ROM Toolbox, Titanium Backup and the Backup/Restore program included on the ROM. My guess is that I'm doing something incorrectly because I'm using KitKat and KitKat hates user data stored on external cards.

c) No working back camera. I had to flash one of the ones posted by mac to make it work.

I won't be changing runtime to ART, as I will try the suggested xposed modules on my device.

Hopefully, no new ROMs are published this week. I need a rest (not really).

gravitybox for mtk devices with KK

Gravity box updated by the developer with support for mtk devices, all mods that i use and didn't work before now are working flawesly. :D
[Android General] mac231us:
edit: well what do I know..lol..went back to original April (yes) JB and works flawlessly...fast no app crashes...stable 2g and much better 3g signal (which was more of a challenge even in kk)...xposed modules work...even theming the background of notification although seemed did not work in kk...although bottom action bar from xutilities does not work (get some lose some). cwm touch no issues..with kk at some point switching back and forth end up losing touch recovery (there is some 4.4 cwm touch recovery on biscuit board but is in Chinese I believe)

so for now original jb..honestly do not see any difference or advantage with kk (yes not latest but honestly does not bother me..at least Ebay works!)
[Android General] marsian0:
[MENTION=630377]Estuardo[/MENTION]:

Maybe your troubles with restoring apps is due to KK restricts acces to sdcard, try with SdCard Fix to seee if it helps.

Your PSensor maybe is faulty, because mine works fine with biscuit Rom, i'm even using the app to wake up screen that you recommended. Try recalibrating it.
[Android General] estuardo4:
Thank you. I'll recalibrate my PS Sensor using the enginering mode.

EDIT: Using the enginering mode, I cannot calibrate my sensor. All test result in "Failed". Also, using a Lighmeter app, my lux readings are all over the place. So yeah, I have a faulty sensor. What I don't know is if it's software related or hardware related. I have readings from the sensor, so my guess it's a software error. Now, How to correct it? IDK

About the SDCard fix, I've tried a couple of thes programs and all say that my SD is fine, that the fix is already in place. I looked inside my build.prop file and indeed, the file is fixed, so I don't know what is going on.

I agree 100% with mac231us that it is better to have a functioning phone with JB than messing with KK. But my adiction to always try out new builds is bigger than my need for a 100% functioning phone. Obviously this has caused me some problems at work and with my family, but nothing catastrophic.
[Android General] marsian0:
AFAIK the fix to read write sdcard takes place in the system / etc / permissions / platform.xml file.

Check the thecnical details in the NextApp sdfix from playstore.

Also there is an exposed module that claims to do the trick, but I don't have used.

I'm stuck with KK, cause if I go back to JB my rear Camera doesn't work.
[Android General] estuardo4:
Yes, that's the file. I'm sorry for being lazy. I was just using my faulty memory. Thank you for this.

Some days ago, I drop my phone to the hard concrete floor of my street. Just a few scratches on the corner, but now that I was testing the PS, I took notice that the corner where my phone landed is the same corner where the PS is located. That's why I remembered that I had a working PS. I thought I was lucky that nothing was broken, but now I know that I was wrong. Oh well...
[Android General] mac231us:
don't know what it is but after fresh install of jb which worked just fine (framework changed status icons using xstana to miui type...even when signal dropped in strength it did not look like it was zero,- shows shallower rampup of signal bars total 6 i think,and signal was not zero anyway as signal notifier app did not register a zero signal)...

did fresh install (cwm zip) of color 2.0 OS 2nd version 6/12...working just fine..it has gestures and features like pick up call if putting to ear, 3 finger swipe down for screenshot, 2 finger swipe up down for volume max/vibrate, couple of custom gestures you can set...(did not drop out of range entire day even if hanging by a thread at times)...mobile uncle tools works fine on it...can do mms auto download..for sending mms have to manually turn data on or use another app like 8sms which can turn it on and off automatically (only thing cannot install xposed mods but some of my favorite ones are taken care of here)

also new cwm 4.4 touch here

have to register to get link

Hey

what is this phone like??? I wanted a big phone but needed the gglass, smart idea!!!!!! How's signal strength, camera and call quality!! I'll be using att net10!
[Android General] ress_:
I actually like it more every day I use it. When it has picked up a signal the strength is good, the issue seems to be that it's quite slow to pick up a signal in the first place. This is no problem at all when I'm at work downtown, but when I'm at home a couple of miles away I loose signal from time to time. It's hard to give a definitive answer, depends on your situation. But in a worst case scenario, you can still use it as a wifi tablet or car mount it!

Call quality is good but you'll need a headset or you won't answer when someone is watching :)

Camera is alright I guess, quite quick and easy to use. I think image quality is OK for facebook/instagram but i use my Sony A5000 for serious photography (awesome device BTW!).
[Android General] estuardo4:
Hello,

On the Luftco forum, biscuits team now has a 4.4.3 update for the original Luftco 4.4.2 ROM. It is the 0908 version. It is a zip file, but I can't understand if you just update this zip file on top of their 4.4.2 version (clearing caches and data) or if something more is needed.

I will try to do it anyway, as soon as I download the zip file and back up my phone.

I'll let you know, in case nobody havedone this before...
[Android General] marsian0:
i can't find it, link please ?

..

nevermind, found it, downloading...

interested in "signal enhancement", we'll see.

beware of the swapped cards...
[Android General] mac231us:
what is that m81_4.4 root zip (try to click on it or hover cursor over it and a window pops up..cannot grab it,,says something about looking at previous day post) (small file)

the other file which is like 368MB i get that
[Android General] marsian0:
Something related to problems with titanium backup I think.

I found that this port is from Mlais m81 update on 0902 available on neeedrom.

Flashed over the last version, just cleared cache and dalvik, booted without problems, just had to reinstall my Xperia keyboard and reinstall xposed installer.

The cards are indeed swapped, the touch on the keyboard seems more accurate with less repeated keys as before, but is my impression so far.
[Android General] estuardo4:
I installed the zip as a dirty flash (same as you) and I haven't found a problem yet. But for the life of me, I cannot use Titanium Backup, even installing the M81 file. By the way, this M81 file only has the Kinguser root apk, that replaces SU.

What problems in the future we can have if the cards are swapped? It is really strange.

About the touch on the keyboard, it is indeed more precise than before over the "a" area, but now I have the repeat problem over the "e" area.

I'm a little nervious about the card swap, I hope I don't regret this in the future.

I wanted to make a clean install, but as I cannot back up my apps and data (with both Titanium Backup and ROM Toolbox I can backup apps, but not its data), I didn't have the will to reinstall everything and reconfigure.

Titanium Backup does not work on this version. It cannot write on the sd card or on the internal memory.
[Android General] marsian0:
Do you use the TB app that comes with the Rom? Try uninstalling it and download from playstore. I did a quick test backing up one app and it did just fine.

BTW, the rom already have the sdcard fix applied, so no need to install any app for this purpose.

hope it helps
[Android General] g-unit2:
Hi, i flashed uboot_2_cameras.zip in post 91 in luftco a-onex and after no works rear camera only front... I restored cwm backup and flashed the latest oficial rom 7/7/14 and no find solution.. please... any idea? Anything..

thanks!!
[Android General] marsian0:
First find out what camera version you have, and after flashing the ROM flash the zip acording to your camera, in the zip there are two zips, you just have yo flash one.

To find out the camera version enter in test mode, look a few posts back to see how.
[Android General] estuardo4:
I used the TB that came with the update. Also, I installed the M81 patch posted on the same thread. This patch instaled Kinguser root, replacing SU. I can backup and restore using TB (the one included). I tested a few apps and all is restoring fine. I usually used ROM Toolbox, but, as long as it's working, I'll use TB.

I was talking about that the SD card now is SDCARD0 and the internal storage is SDCARD1 now.

No new updates at the moment for this phone. I hope something comes quickly.
[Android General] estuardo4:
After a few days using the biscuits team 4.4.3 zip, on a dirty flash, I'm having problems with a few apps crashing. like Hangouts, Tapatalk, Gallery and Album (an App from Sony) and others not that important. The cameras are working fine. But I'm really anxious. This is the first time I spend so much time on the same ROM.

Anyway, maybe to keep me interested, I'll make a clean flash, erase my phone and install Mlais 4.4.3 and the zip from Biscuits Team.
[Android General] marsian0:
No problems with apps since last update.

I saw another brand for this device, nibiru k-touch m1, but the firmware is not updated.
[Android General] estuardo4:
Thank you for the info. This ROM seems interesting, as it is only 468MB in size (the Mlais one was almost a GB and the Luftco one is 1.2GB)

Maybe, if I have the oportunity, I will install this ROM and then install the Biscuits zip.

Update: Searching on some chinese sites, I found the forum for the niburu jupiter m1, where there is a possibility of custom ROMs made for the device:

http://www.592zn.com/forum-283-1.html&usg=ALkJrhhbeA2tc4QTx3_tVE9VGGZ20M_Xkw

Let's hope there are some interest for this model over that forum.

Any other?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

I've been playing with the Nibiru M1 4.4.2 ROM and I had problems with SU, so I installed Kinguser and then I could use Titanium Backup. I restored my info, but I haven't noticed anything different as other ROMs. Then, I installed Team Biscuits patch for Mlais M81 sept 02 updated ROM, but I lost both of my SIMs, so I have to restore everything. I won't be using this ROM, as I'm enjoying the Team Biscuits mods as being able to use MTKTools V14 and use the power saving options (I've been running "battery savings" option and after 12 hours of heavy use, my battery is at 78%, with 3 hours of screen on time), and the ability to reduce the screen brightness.

Now that I need to restore, I'm dowloading the Mlais M81 0902 ROM, so I can properly install from scratch the Team Biscuits Update (no dirty update). Let's see how it rolls.
[Android General] marsian0:

[Android General] estuardo4:
Wow! 13 different brands for the same phone. Everybody wants a piece of the action. If only they can unite and make a single ROM...

Anyway, I've installed the Mlais 0902 ROM and the Team Biscuit 0908 zip and I still have the same problems as before: I have a force quit dialog every time I try to open a multi-option menu on almost all of my installed apps. and the repeated letters using the keyboard. Other than that, it is as smooth as before, and the battery lasts for two days without problem.
[Android General] marsian0:
Can you elaborate in your issue?

what App and what action? To check in mine, cause is weird beause i don't have any problema so far, and i did a dirty flash.
[Android General] estuardo4:
I have various examples. One is with ROM Toolbox, when I select a governor, I have an FC. I cannot open Hangout, with NFL Fantasy everytime I try to select a sidebar menu item I have a FC. On the youtube app. On Settings on the Apps tab. There are others, but those are the programs I use the most that have FC.

EDIT: I found out that Xposed (or one of the modules) was the culprit for my issues. As soon as I uninstalled Xposed, my menu item reappeared.

I recommend that you install the MTKteak V15. It is running really great. It's easier to use than manually changing governors and I/O Schedulers. It's in chinese, but if you used the translated V14, the first two pages on V15 are the same options.

He guys

Im having trouble with my screen. It often doesnt work... Think the digitizer isnt activated at some point when screen is onn.

Hi dude

I got stock rom... Strange what is happening with this device. Suddenly it started to break down on me. I havent figgured it out if it is a software issue or a hardware issue. I think if it perfsists, i will open the device and look of there is a connector loose. If not , i would surely like your help on flashing this awesome device to a higher level rom.

I will report back in some time from now, but before that i will investigate the problem some more, necause the device is good as it is too me on 4.2.2. No errors besides this digitizer problem. Hope i wont have to open it up or flash it, because i am affraid i will get hoocked on flashing again, and i am cured for now... :good: :D

Update in case of any value

still have the orient megaphone...just when i thought of ditching it has been working great!..the biggest complaint of constant switching and dropping signal is now past...quite accidentally i found (at least working for me so far across 3 roms tested (all JB though) ) is to use a regular deactivated sim card for the same number (though still recognizes number and carrier) in the regular slot and then the mini sim in the other slot (working one)..so happened I switched sims thinking the first one would work better (in mobileuncle shows wider frequencies for sim1 than for sim2)..but that did not do it (also was looking to interchange with an older phone that uses regular sim) Then got the mini sim or microsim as they call it but did not bother taking the old one out..well it works great...no more "no sim card in slot 1/2" and no more switching!...amazing!..now it says 3g not available in sim2 but do not know if that is a fact...but no complaints!...and color os is now my mainstay (or the 8/22 miui) both from biscuit..also color os latest version has speakerphone bug (when on speakerphone call actually gets muted and person at other end cannot hear) but smoother and better UI than version 1..so what did I do? I copied all system apks and framework files (no libs or anything else) from latest version to the old version (inside the zip itself)...and it flashed and runs great!

very happy with the device now..unexpectedly! (though still eyeing maybe dell venue 8 7000 when it comes out but that is a while and maybe something else may crop up..ideally a 7.9 would do but they tend to be wider with aspect ratio different or a sharp type bezel-less or min. bezel 8.3 inch device which may just be right...at the limit but yet big)
[Android General] estuardo4:
I think that my ideal phone would be a 7" one, with the body like the Sharp 5" model you mentioned early in the thread. Any phone wider than 4" won't fit in my pants pocket, so I'll have to carry it with my hand or on a bag, and it makes using it inconvenient.

Thank you for posting the steps you take to make your phone usable with Color OS. I wish I could go back to 4.2.2, but it is a PITA to go back, so I won't.

One thing that I've noticed is that it takes ages for the custom ROM teams to produce new versions for these models. It seems that they just release a version and never tweak it. Really different to what I'm used to with the xda-developers ROMs. Oh well.

Hello,

It seems that the app MTZTweak (both V14 and V15) does not work if one is using the ART runtime. You can still modify the governors and I/O schedules, but you lose all the other mods. You have to remain at Dalvik runtime.

Just a quick FYI

Hello. After reading your post, it seems that you have a faulty screen. But never mind my words. My advice is to flash another ROM to see if that solves your problems. There are a few stock and non stock ROMs to flash. I've installed the one form Mlais, that has the most recent kitkat version for our devices (4.4.3). For this, you will have to folow the instructions posted on the needrom.com site. http://www.needrom.com/download/mlais-m81/

What is the result you have when you test the ten point sensor using the engineering menu?

Unfortunately I can't comment on any init.d or build.prop setting to change. Sorry.

Hi estuardo4

First of all.. Thanks for your effort to help me out dude! appriciate it alot

My reaction:

Engenering mode: If i try screen tests in Engenering mode, i have full response of the screen.

Needrom.com:

1: What about if i update to 4.4? wouldnt that be permanent? there is no going back to 4.2 right?

2: Do all the functions work? Front camera, EXT SD, dual sim? i read somewere in this thread that these give some problems in 4.4

I am reading the Mlais m81. If i cant find another solution, i will flash this rom hoping it will be some effort.

Thanx again m8

Regards,

Axelman
[Android General] estuardo4:
About number one. You can always go from 4.4 back to 4.3 or 4.2 You have to flash using flashtool, but is doable. The difference between 4.2 and 4.4 are not that much, but I preffer 4.4 because I can use the ART runtime. If you are a fan of Xposed, then you can stay at 4.2. Obviously I recommend that you make a back up of all your internal and external files.

About number two, I can tell you about the camera and the EXT SD work OK. I cannot tell you about the dual SIM because I only use one slot.

As what you want to fix is your touchscreen, I recommend that you waste a couple of hours backing up your phone and flash different 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 ROMs to know for sure if your problem is software related

Hope this helps.

The flash of the Mlais didnt help the screen problem. It didnt respont to my touch.

I still wanted to try out kitkat so i installed some apps. Everything worked fine. Even saw the internal storage was 4GB, enough to install apps locally. Better than my 4.2.2 version. It only has 2GB storage for apps, so i use APP2SD .

Then rooting the 4.4, it worked out fine, but then i lost both imei numbers.

I reverted back to 4.2.2 setup root and recovery and restored my backup. Both imei are restored, but the screenproblem still is here.
