EDITED AGAIN...flashing cwm zip is causing the root explorer issues

EDITED3

even on 5/26 rom the same issue of some root explorers showing only the root files or the sdcard (both internal and external) files if root was turned off but not both

this is preventing restoring apks with data i think also (should given data resides in protected area)

bottomline 5/27 rom is the one to work with but just cannot get root in straightforward fashion unless flashing w/ sp tools, a cwm built off 5/26 or 6/05 versions and then flashing through that cwm, cwm su zip

EDITED

thanks deadphp1...just comparing file sizes found 2 camera libs different on the 5/27 rom versus the 6/05 and 5/26 which were identical to each other. camera.bin and gallery.apk were all the same. Hope you find something here (especially for 5/26 version as that would fix this issue with one rom having one issue and another having another but no single rom with all issues fixed..5/26 was rootable with vroot, had access to mtk enng mode but only front camera worked...5/27 everything worked even s-cover but no rooting possible per my attempts unless using workaround by the cwm recovery created from 5/26 or 6/05 and flashing cwm super su...and 6/05 had no rear camera like 5/26, and no mtk enng mode but rootable via vroot)

the luftco website has this (translated) for their latest 6/16 which I had great difficultty downloading only to find gallery and camera crashed (worst among all rom versions imo)

ironically they say camera bug fixes. No.3 i.e. volume (yes noticed much better volunes for ringer, notification and even in call though can do the *#*#3646633#*#* on 5/26 and 5/27 but not 6/05...cannot remember if this works on 6/16 but did not even bother to try with the other issues mentioned..downloading again to see if somehow it was a bad download given all the issues but since it booted up do not think it is because of a bad download)

Try ES file Explorer, it works for me
[Android General] mac231us:
yes fx file explorer also works but that since root explorer and couple of other file explorer with root capability (where I have to turn root function off to see int/ext sd cards) are running into these issues makes me wonder if the permission/mounts are somehow not exactly what they should be..not sure just a thought

....meanwhile bugs in the latest 6/16 (besides that good luck trying to download-managed to download it once, gallery camera crashing...so did not even work with it more,,subsequent attempts to download have failed...users reporting bugs/limitations (like still no enng mode in mtk) etc

http://www.luftco.cn/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=43158&extra=&page=1

use google translate, bing translate etc as needed

...so sticking to the 5/27 where everything works and using cwm recovery from another 5/26 or 6/05 to insert root and su, and even have cwm touch (using the carliv method again done on 5/26 or 6/05) which is much more reliable besides being touch..the mktdroid tools-generated cwm has issues restoring data on backups (much faster to backup but very unreliable for restore)
[Android General] mac231us:
Got Miui running with root (cwm su) no issues with root explorer ..has cwm touch also

there is a working miui (although OP says 4.2, one of the recent messages says 4.4 base was posted) tried to register but got all garbage in hotmail account confirmation link..need to wait 12 hrs to reregister w different email..need to register to view links...however led me to another rooting tool..will try on 5/27 rom

http://www.luftco.cn/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=37592&extra=

and rooting tool

http://www.shuame.com/root/

rooting tool above is of no use at least for 4.4.2

however went to the jb 4.2 rooted it and flashed cwm touch,,then flashed miui zip,,,had to do wipe complete twice...everything works (except s-cover)nice volume...mtk enng mode too..auto data on off for mms..,one of my favorite miui features..,icons are huge so need to do something with the dpi

need to figure out google play but it has its app store and otherwise think can flash gapps

EDIT: Flashed 4.2 gapps multidpi...works!

so flashing cwm su through carliv cwm touch (or mktdroid cwm) in 4.2 does not break permissions as it does in 4.4

so back to 4.2 where everything worked...camera works in this miui too

took several tries to download the zip...can share it (as not changing it to make my own..have no skills or interest to do that!)

has some interesting built in features like taking call by putting phone to ear etc...nice!

OP in board link above supposedly was to post 4.4 based miui and maybe fix s cover but not done so yet
[Android General] mac231us:
latest 7/7 rom at luftco...meantime tried miui and even color os ported from oppo...and will try funtouch os (from vivo)...oppo color os very good..simple smooth...

http://www.luftco.cn/Service/Firmware/index.html#SerCon
[Android General] marsian0:
Where do i find the ColorOs port. Im interested.

Thanks
[Android General] marsian0:
Thanks friend, i just had figured out the whole thing of registering and all.

i like ColorOS rom, i tried in another devices, but in the end, in this device (ulefone u7) everything works (camera included), but i couldn't install google services, so i had to go back to stock. TBesides, the UI is not optimized for this tablet, not big deal tough.

When i tried to restore my last backup from stock, i coulnd't (md5 mismatch), so i had to reinstall all again. But the rom is very smooth and responsive.

Regards
[Android General] mac231us:
EDITED..twice

google services is easy

just get root then cwm as i showed in the links

then install (download and save to sd card etc first) gapps but 4.2.2

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=14703

wipe dalvik (just in case of bootloop)

reboot..may get settings fc message..no big deal..go through steps..google play working

EDIT...get build prop editor and change dpi..changed it to like 360 (again need root first and google play to get app)

or even textdroider dpi app

..if want stock and 4.4 try the one they just posted that i gave a link for..have not tried it as their earlier version did not have camera gallery working as they claimed..maybe this latest one does..only rooting 4.4 is only through vroot and cannot get cwm touch at least have not fiigured that out/seen anywhere..cwm through mkdroid tools does not restore data correctly in my experience..stops actually during process...phone can still boot but the data restore will be incomplete so do not trust mktdroid generated cwm for 4.4..

EDIT 2: dpi change possible in stock and in color os and think funtouch os too..not in the miui roms
[Android General] marsian0:
Thanks for your help, at this momento my wife is using the pone so i leave it with the stock rom to avoid troubles to her, but i'm ordering one for me, when i get it i will try all your suggestions as i like trying new stuff and relly like the ColorOs customization.

Edited: I got rid of the protector. I'm running my cel naked for the last two days, putting it on my pants and so far no scratches. It seems like it has an anti scratch glass, although no "Gorilla" glass. Let's see how it work out for the next days.

Hello,

I finally ordered a Luftco Aone X (the same 7" model as the other brands). It came with Kit Kat 4.4.2. What i really like is the screen and the 4000 mAh battery. It lasts a lot!

Anyway, what I want to comment and ask is the following: my phone came with a screen protector installed and another on the box. I hate screen protectors. With Gorilla Glass and other high resistance to scratches glasses, I never use a screen protector on my phones. I used them naked on my pocket, and I had no scratches (Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Motorola Droid Razr Maxx). Do any of you use these phones without the screen protector? What kind of glass does these models have? I hate screen protectors, but if the screen is not scratch resistant, I will have to use them. I just need to know your experienses.

Thank you very much for your help.

ROMs

Hello,

I've succesfully installed MIUI 4.7.25 version for my Luftco Aone-X (the same model as other companies). It is running really smooth. Suposedly is optimized to make use of the eight cores. Switching is really fast. I have it at 330 dpi (the lower I can go with a working status bar). Battery life is good, not great, but easily last all day with heavy use.

The link to the file is http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqIcHxU

I'm using Gapps mini for MIUI 4.2.2 and all is working great.

I really don't have a complain right now, just the annoying screen protector. I want to get rid of it, but i won't until I know the kind of glass used.

I know it is 4.2.2, but it looks a lot better than default (IMO)
[Android General] mac231us:
yes I am using it too (after trying out color os, funtouch, lewa miui)...

i have not taken the protector off (kind of got used to it)

many nice themes at xiaomi site (some old miui themes from 2010 still there...not all skin the rom completely though)
[Android General] Axelman8:
He guys,

I got the Tronsmart ps7, but i can't figgure out wich 4.4.2 rom is best suitable to flash. Anuone got a suggestion. Yes i read all the post above, but still i don't know wich one to flash.

Thnx in advance

Regards

Axelman
[Android General] estuardo4:
I think this MIUI ROM is the best available, although it have a security and antivirus apk that I really hate and is not easy to freeze or uninstall, because it is just not one file, there are many and most are written in chinese.

My protector had a lot pf scratches and it was not of good quality. I'm looking for something better.

I'm just grateful that there are developers working on the ROM.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

I am not flashing ROMs made for other models, I'm just flashing ROMs made for my devise. Many people are complaining that they flashed a ROM made for a different vendor and not having all apps and functions working out. All OEM models are the same (Tronsmart PST, Ulefone U7 and Luftco AoneX for example), but drivers aren't. And on needrom.com they just have 4.2.2 listed for your model.

That said, you can download the LUFTCO 4.4.2 one at http://www.luftco.cn/Service/Firmware/index.html#SerCon and see if it works with your phone.I hope it works, but I'm not responsible for any bootloops or damage made to your phone ;)
[Android General] mac231us:
the 7/7 4.4.2 works..i have used it, camera, gallery work..volume is good though no access to the telephony engineer mode using *#*33646633#*#* (or mobile uncle tools) ...rooted it using vroot (only that works) and put cwm touch as before (earlier posts). When rebooting it will ask choose left option (forget if it is no or yes) to flashing standard recovery (basically choosing opposite to what it THINKS your device has..that way cwm touch remains with root)..also got xposed framework mods installed (like gravity xposed for kitkat) but went to 4.2.2 miui because of a couple of app compatibility issues (also like miui)..could not skin (theme) the stock rom even after de-odexing. Have saved a nandroid cwm backup in case think of going back to it.
[Android General] marsian0:
As i said a few post back, i have tried both versions, is a themed version of kitkat, not real Lollipop, not bad, but if you want to try use the first version, because the second version have issues with the status / quick settings bar.

now i am using this rom , very stable, notifications light works, no problems so far, i will stick with this ultil they release new version of 5L fixed or maybe a true lollipop rom.

[02-27] One KK4.4.3 nibiru M1 Jupiter Second Edition

http://bbs.nbru.cn/thread-6037-1-1.html

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTAAlZx Password: par6
[Android General] estuardo4:
marsian, I saw your message, but as you said, you posted about the first version. Looking at the thread back at the Nibiru forums, the screenshot they had for the first edition showed Android 4.4.2. This second edition showed the screenshot I posted, that's why I was asking.

About the ROM you are currently using, What's the difference between this version and the 4.4.3 version of Team Biscuits? Is it much better?

BTY, just an FYI. I was looking to buy the new Huawei Mediapad X2, but judging at the level of developing of other Huawei products and that Huawei doesn't help the developers to customize their phones, I'll have to wait for new 7" product announcements. Tweaking my phone (with or without success) is what's keeping me with Android. Unfortunately there's a lot of vendors that are doing their best to keep ROM developers on the side.
[Android General] marsian0:
I can not remember, cause when installed and noticed the notification bar issue i went back to the one i posted, but i recall it being the same themed version but in the second revision.

And yes, this rom better than biscuit , i think is based on the same mlais firmware, but the issue wih touch is not present, or maybe because of the larger dpi configuration, i have this suspicion. It is really smooth as biscuits, but with optimized touch. I have the 380 dpi configuration, and for the first time i feel it very accurate, enjoying it a lot, and expecting as many, that a new device with this size but upgraded hardware (64bits) arrives.

Only flaw i have found is that when the screen is about to time out, it lights up max, instead of dimm it.
[Android General] estuardo4:
Thank you for the philZ link. I didn't remember the option posted by sampei. I guess the reason my TWRP backup was not working is because I didn't have enough space on my sd card (an error message appeared, but no way for me to know what it meant). With philZ, at least I now know why I cannot backup. The curious thing is that I store everything on the sd card, so I don't know why my backup size is 8GB! My guess is that there's a bug on MIUI.
[Android General] estuardo4:
I've installed this ROM. I didn't noticed the problems with the status bar/notifications. The only problem I found was that there's no keyboard installed, so obviously writing anything is difficult. I checked the phone info and the ROM author wrote Adroid 5.0.2, but definately it is NOT 5.0.2, as Xposed Installer and other tweaks are installed by default.

But the author has all the animations and looks of Lollipop just right. I hope Nibiru releases Lollipop for their M1 model.

Other ROM that I was testing was CoolUI 6.0 It is a nice interface. Really smooth and with good animations and tweaks. I will try this one for a few days, to see if it is as good as the first impression was.
[Android General] estuardo4:
Just a FYI. I installed this new version from scratch. I have no Force Closes nor any other problem. I even am capable to install themes importing them from the SD Card (not possible before). I'm using the Ubuntu font with no problems.

The only change that I didn't like is that with this new version you are no longer capable of installing paid themes for free. But other than that, all is working fine.
[Android General] mac231us:
thanks...is what I suspected in earlier post that maybe a clean install using marsian0 steps would do it...one weird thing is that here in the USA it is still not reporting the time correctly (uses GMT-4 for eastern standard time but there is a one hour difference since the daylight savings time ended..and it does not compensate for it-which makes me wonder it is really not picking up the network time-so have to trick it to use the central standard time instead which is GMT-5 instead of using network-provided time zone) However the alarm uses the correct time (GMT-5)! I have not used paid themes only free themes but seems a negative unless you can locate the pertinent files and use the old ones from the previous rom (but think the zip file is password-protected so will have try that using root explorer if this approach even works)
[Android General] mac231us:
tried it out...looks good..but somehow the original N1 feels a lot faster (the one that one flashes using SP tools..which apparently is a 4.4.2...i then repartitioned for 8G data, rooted, put philz recovery and backed it up as well (and restored so it worked) and imeis work no issues)..been going back and forth between that and the one you have in this post...notification light works in this older one too (now there is a system update available from jan 7...need to look up your older posts to see if to update or not something about losing recovery if memory serves me right) Thanks

EDIt one thing in the 443 N1 rom..gallery was crashing when trying to attach any picture through gallery in mms..not sure if I did something wrong when installing (also apn was not being set correctly as done in the 442 but that just needed manual adjustment)

EDIT2 No issue on gallery fc..had checked off force msaa for some reason in dev options

HOWEVER..on both the SPtools flashed N1 rom and the 443 rom, proximity sensor issue (screen stays on during call)...anyone having that issue?

EDIT3 I see an older post on the proximity sensor missing activation? in these KK roms (as it works in miui etc and even old jb roms and old kk roms)

EDIT4 now seeing that the touch OS although too many colors and gaudy looking for me (and dpi change not helping much to scale down) is working best...mms, calls (sound very good little increased through mtk enng mode) sms forwarding built in very fast and responsive (even in original rom launcher) ..prox sensor works

after using MIUI many days Touch Os is very very fast (like the aosp roms but they had prox sensor issues) and no reboots (miui gets overloaded easily despite 8g data as that only takes care of storing apps not actually running them)...miui is great but whenever ported has always been much slower (at least for this device)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57297873&postcount=218
[Android General] mac231us:
How did you install this without force closes? I followed the procedure posted on this board to do from scratch-flash through sp tools, factory reset, flash miui, factory reset...same force close issue (used CWM from Mkdroid tools) Thanks

EDIT using touch os now...finding it to be the best asides from the gaudy color layout huge icons and text (camera still an issue as with all kk roms...only front works not tried flashing the lp.bin but after reading the board does not appear it works-or does it?)

EDIT2 finding Yunos even better (just need to take care of lots of marketing options...can root itself through some advanced optimize system option but need to reinstall recovery)

both touch os and yunos look good imo..very fast without the lag of miui (unfortunately miui is slow otherwise best interface) and no proximity sensor issues (miui too does not have prox sensor issues)
[Android General] estuardo4:
I urge you to try the new CoolUI 6.0. Very different to CoolUI 5.0. Better transitions, better memory management, better UI. And no bloat as with MIUI. No proximity sensor issues either. Obviously you can't change themes as with MIUI, but I find their UI really elegant and clean. YMMV.

No new ROM this week on neither of the Nibiru forums. Let's hope they continue porting ROMs, as they are doing a great labor.

Unfortunately, there's no way to thank these developers. At least none that I can see.
[Android General] mac231us:
thanks...i have downloaded it already (think CoolUI is by the folks who make one of the other 7 inch phone tablets-the Coolpad folks

EDIT not yet tried coolui but after trying yunos (oneplusone) more think touchos much better fewer restrictions/intrusions (security this that...)

http://www.liaow.com/coolpad.html

that said, the new Huawei X2 looks very good..their new 64bit processor just started to list on media markt in Europe though no pricing on Huawei's own site

(word is it will be officially priced March 19..so next week)

BUT will not get to try out so many roms as on the Tronsmart...lol

although this never became a development board and the OP has long gone (never much responded after first few posts), do not mean to fill this with commercial links and news on other devices
[Android General] marsian0:
how do you installed gapps? i tried coolui and couldn't install gapps, so i didn't test it. YunOs i haven't tried, but i will this weekend.

i'm seeing high battery drain with the last KK443, so i wil have to give it a shot to Yunos or CoolUi again, the good thing is that is really fast to switch back.

I took a look to the huawei, looks great but too expensive for me, 400 Euros, can't afford it, i will wait a couple of months, hopefully another brand come out with a mediatek Soc in this size.
[Android General] mac231us:
Yunos and touchos both I was able to install gapps just through philz cwm touch (the 20130813 pack..minimal)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387878

not tried coolui yet for gapps but tried it otherwise (pretty neat stuff-just disappointed themes do not theme dialer and messaging as some miui themes (not all) do in miui-themes remind me of color os themes-also some Mandarin on some permissions stuff (ended up guessing wrong-:))

Nibiru roms are running great on Ulefone U7. However,weaker Wifi and 3G signal than with either Luftco or Milais roms.

Only problem is rear camera is not working.

Is there a way to flash lk.bin with correct camera driver?

Have tried Sampei's zip but it just crashes the phone.

Would it be possible to upgrade to Nibiru but substitute lk,bin from a backed up rom or from Luftco stock rom?
[Android General] mac231us:
do not know if this is correct procedure but i replaced the lk.bin in the flashing files for the original n1 rom...for both the lk files it would not boot..so had to go back to original bin (this camera issue has been on day1 from the initial kk roms (not jb) except for the 6.16 or 7.4 rom (forget exact date) that was posted on luftco site but that could never be rooted (at least i tried many different things-again not an expert here) the mlais i think worked but switched the sd storage around...not sure if any other issues existed with it as I hardly used it except for one install...mostly used jb color and more recently playing with the n1 kk derivatives (miui big disappointment not just the lag which i expected but the time zone is not captured correctly and no way to trick it around on that..clock alarm shows one thing the other system functions show a 1 hr shift...and then when sending sms it hangs up almost on first try and have to deactivate and activate sim and re-send to send sms happens every now and then (pretty maddening)
[Android General] tabnabs:
Never had a problem with rear camera on Ulefone U7 Stock Rom, any of the Mlais or Luftco Roms. Currently I am using modified Biscuit Rom found on 4PDA, but it is no longer there.. With regard to Mlais roms there are zip files on 4PDA which will change the SD card structure and camera driver on any Mlais rom. Biscuit rom is smooth and touch issues are not too bad. On 4PDA there is supposedly a touch optimised version of the Mlais rom but I found I had issues with poor 3G signal. Rooting has never been a problem with any rom as I use TWRP 2.7.0.0 by sevenmaxs and just flash Supersu zip..

Currently there is a MIUI rom on 4PDA for our phone which appears to be quite a success. I Haven't tried it yet.

Nibiru appears to be the way to go because of the development support but there has to be a way around the rear camera issue for phones with 12830 driver.
